Astro2010: The Astronomy and Astrophysics Decadal Survey
New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics
Released in 2010
Driven by discoveries, and enabled by leaps in technology and imagination, our understanding of the universe has changed dramatically over the course of the last few decades. The fields of astronomy and astrophysics are making new connections to physics, chemistry, biology, and computer science. Based on a broad and comprehensive survey of scientific opportunities, infrastructure, and organization in a national and international context, New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics outlines a plan for ground- and space- based astronomy and astrophysics for the decade of the 2010's.
Realizing these scientific opportunities is contingent upon maintaining and strengthening the foundations of the research enterprise including technological development, theory, computation and data handling, laboratory experiments, and human resources. New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics proposes enhancing innovative but moderate-cost programs in space and on the ground that will enable the community to respond rapidly and flexibly to new scientific discoveries. The book recommends beginning construction on survey telescopes in space and on the ground to investigate the nature of dark energy, as well as the next generation of large ground-based giant optical telescopes and a new class of space-based gravitational observatory to observe the merging of distant black holes and precisely test theories of gravity.
New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics recommends a balanced and executable program that will support research surrounding the most profound questions about the cosmos. The discoveries ahead will facilitate the search for habitable planets, shed light on dark energy and dark matter, and aid our understanding of the history of the universe and how the earliest stars and galaxies formed. The book is a useful resource for agencies supporting the field of astronomy and astrophysics, the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over those agencies, the scientific community, and the public.
Panel Reports--New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics
Every ten years the National Research Council releases a survey of astronomy and astrophysics outlining priorities for the coming decade. The most recent survey, titled New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics, provides overall priorities and recommendations for the field as a whole based on a broad and comprehensive examination of scientific opportunities, infrastructure, and organization in a national and international context.
Panel Reports--New Worlds, New Horizons in Astronomy and Astrophysics is a collection of reports, each of which addresses a key sub-area of the field, prepared by specialists in that subarea, and each of which played an important role in setting overall priorities for the field. The collection, published in a single volume, includes the reports of the following panels:Cosmology and Fundamental Physics; Galaxies Across Cosmic Time; The Galactic Neighborhood; Stars and Stellar Evolution; Planetary Systems and Star Formation; Electromagnetic Observations from Space; Optical and Infrared Astronomy from the Ground; Particle Astrophysics and Gravitation; and Radio, Millimeter, and Submillimeter Astronomy from the Ground.
The Committee for a Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics synthesized these reports in the preparation of its prioritized recommendations for the field as a whole. These reports provide additional depth and detail in each of their respective areas. Taken together, they form an essential companion volume to New Worlds, New Horizons: A Decadal Survey of Astronomy and Astrophysics. The book of panel reports will be useful to managers of programs of research in the field of astronomy and astrophysics, the Congressional committees with jurisdiction over the agencies supporting this research, the scientific community, and the public.

Picture: MC Hammer Los Angeles Premiere of Thor held at the El Capitan theatre- Arrivals Hollywood, California - 02.05.11
Rapper Mc Hammer has been tapped to be the official tourism spokesperson of his hometown of Oakland, California.
The U Can't Touch This hitmaker, real name Stanley Kirk Burrell, will front the town's new marketing campaign called Oakland. To Know it is To Love It.
Hammer, who earned his moniker after serving as a batboy for professional baseball team the Oakland Athletics, will tout the positive changes occurring in the formerly crime-ridden city.
He says, "My admiration, love and understanding of what the culture of Oakland is, is from experience. I've been here 50 years. Our city is one of the greatest cities to ever rise up and stand up."
The 50 year old also outlines his six favourite hotspots for visitors.
MC Hammer is not the first celebrity to land a gig promoting his place of birth - pop star Rihanna recently shot a tourism campaign for her native Barbados.

This irregular feature will run when I get bored. It will ask one scintillating question about each NHL team.
Anaheim Ducks: Can this team take advantage of its abundance of youth to compliment its savvy and skilled veteran core?
Boston Bruins: Is there a single hockey observer anywhere who doesn't think the team is dangling Matt Bartkowski for trade?
Buffalo Sabres: So ah, how about those Buffalo Bills?
Calgary Flames: Are you the one non Flames fan or executive who expected the team to start the season 2-0?
Carolina Hurricanes: Isn't it great that the Canes put in a great effort for their goaltender Cam Ward opening night and only allowed 38 shots on goal?
Chicago Blackhawks: If the media doesn't have Patrick Kane's off ice antics to talk about, will they actually cover the team now?
Colorado Avalanche: We all know the limited shelf life of firey over the top NHL coaches like Guy Boucher and Patrick Roy right?
Columbus Blue Jackets: Do we blame Bobrovksy's four goal opener on moving east, a lack of defenders who play defense, or just a fat pay day?
Dallas Stars: Will Alex Goligoski ever get recognized as top defenseman?
Detroit Red Wings: Is there a player in the system 30 or under who can emerge as the next "face of the franchise"?
Edmonton Oilers: Can prodigal son and eco-warrior Andrew Ference lead his band of merry man-children to liberate a playoff spot from and deliver it to their poor fans?
Florida Panthers: With new ownership and oodles of cap space this year, how wide with the tap be opened for established NHL talent in the future?
Los Angeles Kings: Without a proven backup will Quick get overworked in the regular season?
Minnesota Wild: Will the Wild faithful stay true if the team underperforms this season?
Montreal Canadiens: With the soon to be 35 year old Brian Gionta's star waning and an expiring contract, will the Habs relocate the C to another jersey possibly before moving him?
Nashville Predators: Barry Trotz entered the season the NHL's longest tenured head coach, will he end the season in his current position?
New Jersey Devils: With the leagues oldest team, and all but one of the free agents brought in this season over 30, does this franchise have a path to the future?
New York Islanders: The Islanders took a big step forward last year climbing into the playoffs and battling Sidney Crosby and the Penguins, can Tavares and Hamonic make themselves household names this year?
New York Rangers: How long will it take Marc Staal, Brad Richards and the rest of the blueshirts to adapt to Alain Vigneault's system?
Ottawa Senators: Captain Spezza, with Bobby Ryan, Milan Michalek, Jared Cowen and Craig Anderson are more than enough to get this team to the second round of the playoffs right?
Philadelphia Flyers: Who will lead the Flyers in the three categories that have defined the team in recent seasons: missed games, PIMS and suspensions?
Phoenix Coyotes: Is Mike Ribeiro the right centerpiece for the teams offense or just another free agent that will do just ok and move on?
Pittsburgh Penguins: This is the year that Sidney Crosby and Evgeni Malkin are both healthy right? Right?
San Jose Sharks: Will Bruan, Vlasic, and Hertl emerge to form the new core of this team with Logan Couture?
Saint Louis Blues: Does this team have enough scoring talent and the right coach to take advantage of it?
Tampa Bay Lightning: Does Steve Yzerman who wants fighting out of the game have a punchers chance of seeing his team in the playoffs any time soon?
Toronto Maple Leafs: When the Olympic break rolls around will we be asking where they will find a center, or marveling at Tyler Bozak and Nazem Kadri as a one two punch?
Vancouver Canucks: With a new coach and system in John Tortorella and a general manager Mike Gillis, who has to be fighting for his own job, how much of the current roster will still be in place after the trade deadline?
Washington Capitals: We can all agree that Alex Ovechkin is good for 50+ goals this season, and Mikhail Grabovski will set a personal high in at least one offensive category right?
Winnipeg Jets: With Evander Kane, Dustin Byfuglien, Blake Wheeler, Zach Bogosian, and more in full stride, the biggest question about this team is once again in the crease isn't it?

Reviewed by Thomas F. (age 9)
I recommend this book to people who like to watch baseball or to read about baseball. This is a great book for people who like books that are written by Gibbs Davis. I also recommend this book for people who like illustrations because there are many in this book.
The lesson to be learned in this book is: that if you are bad, good things will not come to you.
If you read "Major League Melissa" I hope you enjoy it because I did.

Transparent Polymer Coating.Water, Soil and Stain Repellant.Protects Glass and Many Other Surfaces. Click Here for Tips on How To Use TPC16 CRL TPC Surface Protector will actually seal the pores of glass, porcelain, ceramic, plastics, polished metals, fiberglass and marble to make the surface water, soil and stain resistant. The clear coating guards against the adhesion and build-up of dirt, grime, mold, mildew, rust and mineral deposits. Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, CRL TPC Surface Protector Permits the practice of preventive maintenance, reducing costly cleaning, repairs and replacement.Simply spray on and polish off.
One fluid ounce (29 milliliter) of TPC Surface Protector protects approximately 15 square feet (4,572 square millimeters) of glass.Contents of Container: 16 fl oz (473 ml) pump spray bottleImportant Note:Check label and Material Safety Data Sheet for any additional limitations and warnings.
PROCEDURE FOR THE EFFECTIVE TREATMENT OF SAND-BLASTED GLASS1. Due to the variable nature of the sandblasting process (i.e. different grit size and blasting pressure resulting in variable depth, etching configuration and amount of residual glass particles), before treatment with CRL TPC SURFACE PROTECTOR, sandblasted glass must be thoroughly washed and dried. 2. The CRL SURFACE PROTECTOR must be applied using a strong, padded cloth and a firm, circular and overlapping motion. The product should be allowed to dry (haze) and then it should be reapplied to ensure complete coverage. 3. When the surface is dry (i.e., the final "haze" has formed), the surface should be sprayed with plain water to test for uniform water beading. When the applicator is satisfied that the "beading" is uniform, the surface should then be washed with a mild detergent solution or an alcohol and water solution to remove all excess polymer (this "excess" is what sometimes looks like "stains" and makes the surface look darker in spots). Finally, the surface should be dried. THIS PROCESS WILL YIELD A PERFECTLY UNIFORM, WELL-TREATED SURFACE THAT WILL TYPICALLY LAST FOR YEARS UNDER ORDINARY USE. While this appears to be a complicated procedure, it really is not. Most people who treat sandblasted glass in this manner ultimately agree that it is really quite simple once you get used to the process.

Praise for Mixed
"I love Angela Nissel's writing. Reading Mixed was like getting a letter from a best friend I forgot I had. How ironic that a book written by someone who felt like no one "got" her will surely be one of those rare books everyone gets- black, white, both, neither. Hilarious, sweet, and honest, Mixed is the perfect read if you've ever felt like the one standing on the outside– and let's face it, who hasn't? – -Jill Soloway, author of Tiny Ladies in Shiny Pants
"Nissel is humorous, poignant, and proud yet also empathetic and generous as she recounts her constant struggle to answer the perennial question persons of mixed race seem required to ask of themselves in our society–where do I fit in?…. All readers stand to learn from her account." — Booklist
"Colorful anecdotes, marvelous dialogue and a thoughtful narrative make this memoir a delight."–Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"If David Sedaris was a straight biracial female, this is the book he'd write. This book is so funny I've already started telling people I helped Angela write it." — Bill Lawrence, creator of Scrubs
"Growing up black and white, I always felt I had the best of both worlds. I feel the same way about Mixed. It's the perfect blend of hilarious comedy and sometimes tragic reality."
— Yvette Lee Bowser, creator of Living Single and executive producer of Half and Half
"Mixed is a hilarious must-read for anyone searching for the enchanting path to self-discovery. Angela Nissel's precise account of living the mixed race experience not only hit home with me, but the journey is deliciously enlightening and heart-rending at the same time. It's a journey well worth taking." –Halle Berry
Praise for The Broke Diaries:
"Unsentimental prose and [a] wicked sense of humor."–USA Today
"Searing, laugh-out-loud commentary."–Honey

TRMM satellite sees new Tropical Depression forming near Australia's Kimberly coast
Low pressure System 98S appears ripe to form into Tropical Cyclone 05S as NASA satellite imagery is showing some hot towering clouds in the storm and heaviest rains south of the center. System 98S is expected to become a tropical depression on Saturday, December 28, and alerts are already in effect.
NASA and the Japan Aerospace and Exploration Agency's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission or TRMM satellite passed over developing System 98S on December 26 at 1140 UTC/6:40 a.m. EST and noticed a "hot tower" thunderstorm reaching heights of about 17 km/10.5 miles.
A "hot tower" is a tall cumulonimbus cloud that reaches at least to the top of the troposphere, the lowest layer of the atmosphere. It extends approximately 9 miles/14.5 km high in the tropics. These towers are called "hot" because they rise to such altitude due to the large amount of latent heat. Water vapor releases this latent heat as it condenses into liquid. NASA research shows that a tropical cyclone with a hot tower in its eye wall was twice as likely to intensify within six or more hours, than a cyclone that lacked a hot tower.
When TRMM passed over System 98S again on December 27 at 1222 UTC/7:22 a.m. EST, it observed heavy rainfall occurring falling at a rate of 1.4 inches/35.5 mm per hour. The heaviest rainfall appeared in a band of thunderstorms south of the center of circulation.
According to the Australian Bureau of Meteorology or ABM, System 98S was 250 nautical miles north-northwest of Broome (located along the Kimberly coast), Australia. System 98S is centered near 14.1 south and 120.9 east according to an interpretation of MTSAT-2 satellite imagery, conducted at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center. Maximum sustained winds are between 25 and 30 knots/28.7 to 34.5 mph/ 46.3 to 55.5 kph.
System 98S is expected to develop into Tropical Cyclone 05S on Saturday as it moves southwest, roughly parallel to the Kimberly coast of northwestern Australia.
Satellite imagery shows that strong convection and thunderstorms are building over the large low-level circulation center. Microwave imagery from a NOAA-19 polar orbiting satellite showed improved strong bands of thunderstorms over the southern quadrant of the storm and wrapping into the center. Low wind shear and warm sea surface temperatures are expected to assist System 98S in development.
ABM issued a Blue Alert for residents in or near coastal areas between Cape Leveque and Broome. Those areas can expect gusty winds as high as 100 kilometers/62.1 miles per hour on Saturday, December 28 and extend further southwest to De Grey by Sunday morning, December 29. Heavy rain is expected on Saturday in coastal areas of the Kimberley north of Broome. As System 98S organizes and moves it is expected to bring heavy rainfall and gusty winds on Sunday into Monday from Port Hedland to Mardie and Karratha.

Minke Whales and CassowariesWednesday, June 16th, 2010
Would you believe it if you were diving on the Great Barrier Reef and suddenly you found yourself surrounded by Minke Whales? That's what happened to some divers off the coast of Cairns yesterday. So the whale watching season in Cairns has started just on time.
And in Kuranda, west of Cairns, three adults cassowaries and a juvenile one have been spotted, giving us all hope for this endangered species.
Meanwhile, we are working hard from our office overlooking the Coral Sea, keeping up with our Cairns Unlimited site, both in Spanish and in English, our Cairns Digital site renting underwater cameras and finalising the last steps before we launch our next enterprise, very early next month.
And our baby Nicholas is getting bigger and bigger, already four months old yesterday.
As you can see, there is no time for boredom in our lives!!!

REAL ESTATE- ON THE BLOCK- Peacock Hill: A full-feathered development
ADDRESS: 265 Turkey Ridge Road
NEIGHBORHOOD: Peacock Hill
SIZE: 2,297 fin. sq. ft.
LAND: 0.25 acre
CURB APPEAL: 8 out of 10
LISTED BY: Marjorie Adam of RE/MAX Assured Properties
In the 1970s, long before the building boom, developer Frank Smith bought up a 500-acre farm in what must have once been considered the boonies and set about designing and constructing Peacock Hill. Having withstood the test of time, Peacock Hill remains one of the more pleasant enclaves surrounding Charlottesville. The main road twists and turns, forcing one to drop to a reasonable speed. Good thing, because it makes the subdivision a place where residents (both human and canine) can amble unperturbed by careless drivers.
The houses are relatively tight-knit, but not in an annoying way. Interesting use of angles and trees keeps the neighbors close but not too close. Built below street level, this structure is barely visible from the driveway. An almost jungle-like trip across a bridge is required to reach the front door (actually a side door). Since it's made of Trex decking, a reclaimed wood and plastic composite, owners need not worry about the bridge giving way beneath them or about splinters, moisture, insects, rotting, staining, or even traction in the rain.
The lofty impression continues inside. Entering at the second floor, one looks down through five marble-wallpapered pillars onto the main family room below. The foyer also includes a coat closet and half bath. Since the house is a split-level, the upstairs/downstairs flights dictate the traffic. Downstairs, a family room with cathedral ceiling, wood-burning fireplace, and wall of windows facing the back yard is spacious and inviting.
The dining room, on the other side of the fireplace, is of ample proportions. A dividing wall, with indents for displaying pottery or objets d'art, creates interest in what in most houses is a rectangular box with a hideous hanging light over the place where the table must go.
The kitchen is wide open, with many more of those half-pillars sectioning the space. Although a little dark, plenty of light elsewhere motivates one to get out of there (unless, of course, one is a species of bat). But there's also a well-lit and sky-lighted room with a very private garden view (under bridge level) that could be the perfect spot for coffee-calmed musing. The feeling of being below ground level is slightly disorienting, though, reminiscent of aquariums where bewildered fish peer at visitors through the glass. One half expects a dolphin to float by.
Back through the house and up several little runs of stairs, the first level offers two medium-sized bedrooms and a full bath. Nothing fancy, but plenty of room to keep children (or guests) comfortable.
Another set of steps leads to the next level with quite a bit of space: a sitting area (or perhaps an office nook), laundry room, and a well-thought-out cedar linen closet. More pillars for walls up here; peeking through them gives a telescopic view of the family room below. No hiding places.
More steps up to the master level where the bedroom has a soapstone surround fireplace that must add intimate charm to a frosty night. The master bath pulls out all the stops with marble tile around the whirlpool tub, separate shower, and dual sinks. The house is grand without being extravagant, cozy while not claustrophobic.
Every window has green views, adding to the sense of privacy almost nonexistent in many modern suburban developments. The back deck looks out onto a relatively flat green yard and a wooded communal area.
Of the 180 home sites in Peacock Hill, 164 are developed. A hundred acres of the original farm have been left as common areas for residents. Nearly five years ago, Peacock Hill made headlines when many of its residents' wells dried up. Since then, however, according to the agent, new wells have been dug, and residents fared well (!) during a more recent water scare. While County planners don't seem interested in rewarding this rural-area development with public water, it has rewarded itself with such amenities as walking trails, tennis courts, and a five-acre lake– all within a 12-minute drive of downtown.
But the most persuasive element is a visit to the site. On each trip down Turkey Ridge Road, visitors see someone out walking, gardening, or just hobnobbing with neighbors. Since the neighborhood is always a big part of any deal, it's important to note that this seems like a pretty nice one.

Peaches Geldof's Cause of Death Revealed
Peaches Geldof died of a heroin overdose, BBC News reports. The socialite, TV personality and mother of two was just 25 when she tragically passed away on April 7.
According to the BBC, police found 6.9 grams of heroin in Geldof's home, as well as other drug paraphernalia, including syringes, burnt spoons and more. Her husband Tom Cohen revealed that his wife had been addicted to heroin and used the "substitute drug" methadone for two and a half years before she died.
Though Geldof had stopped using heroin in November 2013 "as a result of the considerable treatment and counseling she received," the coroner said, she had apparently began using again in February 2014, her husband revealed, stating that he had witnessed her flushing drugs that she had hidden down the toilet -- though he didn't realize there were other drugs in their home until police found them.
Pathologist Peter Jerreat noted that the heroin levels in Geldof's system were in a "fatal range," while codeine, methadone and morphine were also found in her blood.
"Tolerance to heroin ... appears to be lost fairly rapidly when users cease to use the drug, and deaths commonly occur in people who have previously been tolerant and have returned to using heroin," Forensic Scientist Emma Harris explained.
Adding to the tragedy is the fact that Geldof lost her own mother, Paula Yates, to a heroin overdose when Geldof was just 11 years old.
Geldof leaves behind two young sons, her husband, Tom Cohen, and her father, Sir Bob Geldof.
R.I.P., Peaches.

A Sterling job
Whatever you think of modern architecture, it's impossible not to be inspired each year by the buildings in the Sterling Prize, this year is no exception. There is the usual eclectic mix of buildings, I was particularly taken with Astley Castle, a fantastic way to retain past structures, but bring them into a new modern context. We have lots of old buildings just standing dormant - what a inspired way to introduce modern, clever ideas and innovative materials and design, into a new overall experience. I especially like the way old meets new, rough meets smooth, wood meets brick… I could go on. Clever people those Architects, they get my vote.

Oracle's Pricey In-Memory Database Feature Triggers a Row
Aug 1, 2014 6:22 AM PT
Oracle is taking flak over the in-memory database (IMDB) option in Oracle Database 12c, released publicly on Wednesday.
The trouble began when Kevin Closson, formerly the performance architect in Oracle's Exadata development group, pointed out that the option is turned on by default.
Oracle has denied his assertion.
However, the option is easy to turn on by accident, and it should have a default initialization setting that renders it more dormant, Closson maintained.
Inadvertently turning on the IMDB could be expensive. It costs US$400 per named user and $101.20 for software update license and support; or $23,000 for a processor license and $5,000 per processor for software update license and support.
"I think we can trust Oracle when they say the option's not on by default," said Vincent Brasseur, a director of product management at Flexera Software, who blogged about the high cost of using the option.
What's An In-Memory Database?
IMDBs store data in a computer's main memory, unlike database management systems, which use disks for storage.
An IMDB is one-to-two orders of magnitude faster than DBMSes, because it uses simpler internal optimization algorithms, executes fewer CPU instructions, and eliminates the delay caused by read/write operations.
Applications in which response time is critical, such as telecommunications network applications and mobile ad networks, make heavy use of IMDBs.
Oracle announced the Exalytics in-memory platform back in 2011 and began shipping it in 2012, "but that was more of a general purpose in-memory hardware play," said Charles King, principal analyst at Pund-IT.
The Exalytics servers supported third-party data sources including IBM DB2, Microsoft SQL Server, SAP Business Information Warehouse and Teradata -- but "I believe this new solution is purely focused on Oracle database installations," King told the E-Commerce Times.
Accidents Happen
It's "no huge red flag" that Oracle's in-memory option feature, which is separately licensed, is enabled by default, Closson said. For example, other Oracle features such as Real Application Clusters and Partitioning, which are separately licensed, are "sort of on by default."
However, users can unlink RAC to prevent accidental usage, while "there is yet no way I know of to prevent accidental use of the [in-memory option], Closson said.
Grabbing the wrong database initialization parameter file from a repository can unwittingly trigger the in-memory feature, he showed.
"We found on the customer side that sometimes DBAs start using an option and don't realize the organization doesn't have a license for it," Flexera's Brasseur told the E-Commerce Times.
"This happens all the time. You have an option turned on on one server and use it on a second server without realizing that will incur extra charges," he said. "This is where Oracle makes most of its money."
Oracle did not respond to our request to comment for this story.
The Finicky Details of Billing
User responses to an Information Week article bear out Brasseur's contention.
If a DBA runs Medium compression instead of Basic compression when the enterprise has a $5,800 single-processor license on a single CPU 8-core server for Oracle SE One, Oracle will tell the client to purchase the Database Enterprise Edition and advanced Security, raising the cost to $236,000, wrote a user with the handle "License Consulting."
"We've seen Oracle trying to get away with such compliance claims even in situations where the client was able to demonstrate that the DBA only ran compression for testing the feature," the user added.
"I'm leery of any feature that requires users to opt out rather than opt in, since it can lead to just the sort of mistaken use that Oracle's critics maintain," King said, "but the cost of Oracle's new in-memory feature makes it an even more sensitive and critical issue."
Enterprises should clearly communicate licensing terms to their DBAs, Brasseur said, and "constantly monitor their databases to make sure options aren't turned on out of compliance."

As a baseball manager, Kent Philpott has to navigate many of the usual challenges on the diamond: player egos, varied skills at the plate, and uneven levels of motivation. But he also confronts a few unusual problems. When he benches someone or cuts them from the team, it's likely to be an armed robber, drug dealer, or murderer.
Firm though he is with them, Mr. Philpott relies on skills from his primary vocation when managing on the field – being a pastor. What's more, he may be the only one in baseball to lean so heavily on a coach, Stan Damas, who confesses that he knows nothing about game. Mr. Damas's expertise lies in handling people. "I have 21 players, all of whom think they should be starting," says Philpott. "Guys can get upset with me. Stan makes things right."
Philpott is the manager of the San Quentin Giants, a team made up of inmates from one of the nation's most widely known maximum-security state prisons. While many penitentiaries around the country have organized baseball teams, San Quentin's is the oldest and one of the only ones that competes against outside ball clubs.
To prison officials, organized sports is a way to keep inmates occupied and perhaps teach a few lessons on getting along with others. In this age of punitive attitudes about crime, no one is calling it rehabilitation, exactly. Some conservatives and victims' rights groups, in fact, think that any kind of recreation for inmates – especially America's pastime – isn't appropriate for prisoners, especially those who committed a violent crime. But it helps prison authorities battle one of the biggest worries behind bars – idleness. "It keeps tensions down, increasing the safety and security of everyone, including employees," says Marie Griffin, a criminologist at Arizona State University in Tempe.
Philpott, a volunteer coach at the prison, sees even bigger benefits. "These guys learn to deal with losing, they learn to cooperate, build people up, and become team players," he says.
There is no shortage of inmates wanting to be on the team. More than 50 tried out for the club this year – 21 of whom made it. Some just love baseball. All prefer sitting in a dugout to a cell. "It's a privilege to play," says starting pitcher and team captain Chris Rich. Mr. Rich was a star pitcher for St. John's University in New York in 1979, with great expectations for the big leagues when an injury crushed his hopes. Seventeen years later, in a troubled marriage and destitute, he killed his wife – for which a court sentenced him to 26 years to life.
Now in his 13th year in prison, the 6-foot-8-inch man known as "stretch" is soft-spoken and humble. "I'm thankful for every game," he says.
• • •
The visiting team for today's game is the Santa Monica Suns, who have journeyed from southern California. Just to get to the baseball field in the prison, the team must cross the upper yard, a cement promenade that is delicately poised between heaven and man's darkest impulses. Heaven is represented on the north side by tidy houses of worship for the inmates – three chapels, and a native American spiritual office.
Darkness rises up to the south side with a forbidding three-story building called the "Adjustment Center." "It houses the worst of our worst," says Lt. Sam Robinson, a San Quentin spokesman. "Serial killers, validated gang members, and the like." It is also where condemned inmates are housed when they first arrive, allowing them to "adjust" to the idea that they won't be leaving alive. No other path to a baseball field anywhere may be quite so sobering.
The diamond is on the lower yard – a sprawling, but confined, recreation area that teems with life on a Saturday morning. Unlike your typical field, this one is surrounded by guard towers and a chain-link fence. The outfield grass was donated (along with a good deal of equipment) by the San Francisco Giants, after whom the team is named. Geese wander the outfield, the only creatures that seem to come and go at will.
On the edge of center field sits a sweat lodge where native American inmates pray, paying little attention to the occasional home run ball that bounces into their sacred space. The field offers no corporate box seats, no stands, no seats. Nevertheless, inmates stake claims on preferred spots to stand and watch – this apparently being the incarcerated version of season ticket holders.
The Giants practice once a week and host a visiting team once or twice a week as well. They play about 35 games a season.
As befits an institution that has been allowed baseball since the 1920s, the Giants play serious ball: They've lost only three games so far this season leading into their matchup with the Suns, who are visiting San Quentin for the first time. Consequently, the Suns players are as anticipatory about the game as the inmates are about swapping their prison shoes for rubber cleats. "It sounded different, very exciting and intriguing," says Paul Rosenblum, the team's catcher.
• • •
When the crack of the first bat, the atmosphere suddenly becomes focused, competitive, and ... remarkably ordinary. It could be a game going on anywhere. For a brief period, the playing field seems level for inmate and visitor alike.
The Giants jump out to a quick lead behind power hitters Aslan Petty and Kenny Stallings. After four innings, the Giants look to be running away with it: The score is 11-0.
Philpott passes along a message to the opposing coach: We're not going to let up. It's not the way we play. He just wants to let him know.
Philpott is a fit man, now in his 13th year with the team. On the outside, he is the pastor of a Baptist church in nearby Mill Valley, the coach of a high school baseball team, the host of a TV show, and an author. One chapter in a book he wrote on small churches is entitled, "Your pastor leads a complicated life."
He gets considerable help with the prison team from five other coaches, all volunteers. This includes Mr. Damas, a former cop who is in charge of making sure everyone keeps things in perspective. "Players get especially upset when they are tagged out at third," he says.
By the eighth inning, the Suns rally and pull within two runs of the Giants, 13 to 11. Philpott is worried. His closing pitcher, however, shuts down the Suns in the ninth and preserves a win.
The Giants line up to high-five their opponents, thanking each player for coming. Then, they exit the field and return to life as inmates.
"The games mean so much to the guys," says Philpott. "Parts of it will be remembered for years."
Ely Sala, a skilled hitter with five years remaining on his attempted murder sentence, certainly revels in his moments on the diamond. "It takes your mind off the time," he says.
The visitors pack up, retrace their steps across the walkway, and dissolve into the outside world. Many of them are moved by the experience. "I've played in a lot of places, in high school and college, but never imagined myself playing in a place like that," says Ernie Johnson, the Suns pitcher. "You're in the middle of a prison yard, and the only prison in California with a gas chamber."
The game was "uplifting," adds Mr. Rosenblum. "But I also felt profound despair because we were able to walk away, and some of those guys will never leave."
Philpott believes the baseball team has an impact on the men, and he enjoys the intensity of the work. He once did cell-to-cell ministry for 15 years. But he almost never met the same inmate twice. "This," he says about managing, "is very similar to pastoring a church: You are intimately involved in the lives of people. There is nothing superficial about it."

Headley sits with mild biceps strain
SAN DIEGO -- Third baseman Chase Headley was out of the Padres' lineup Wednesday with what manager Bud Black termed a mild right biceps strain.
Headley, who is hitting .160 through 50 at-bats this season, suffered the strain hitting in the batting cage before Tuesday's game against the Rockies.
"It bothered him as the day went on and bothered him after the game and then again this morning," Black said. "Hopefully he responds well to treatment and gets back out there."
Alexi Amarista made the start at third base against the Rockies on Wednesday night.
When Headley returns to the lineup, Black is hoping to see more production. The same could be said for Headley.
"There's no doubt he's got to start getting his good at-bats," Black said.
Durability has been one of Headley's biggest strengths during his time in San Diego. He has played in 141 or more games in four of the past five seasons.
"It's something I try to take pride in. I have been fortunate to avoid the big injury, but I would also like to think the way I take care of my body and prepare in the offseason and how I maintain my body in-season has something to do with that as well," Headley said at the end of Spring Training.
"There's something to be said for the guys who run out there when they don't feel 100 percent and still give everything they have."

When Rep. Jack Kingston and former Dollar General CEO David Perdue advanced to a Republican runoff in Georgia's Senate race, the tea party was left without a favored candidate.
Yet the state's sizeable tea party crowd isn't staying on the sidelines. Tea partyers now appear to be rallying behind Kingston, an 11-term congressman from Savannah who has the backing of the U.S. Chamber of Commerce and a history of supporting federal projects in his district.
It's the pragmatic side of the tea party and says as much about the movement as it does about Kingston, whose voting record has been very conservative in recent years.
"We're more concerned with people's attitudes since the rise of the tea party," said Sal Russo, chief strategist of the Tea Party Express, one of the largest tea party groups in the country. His group has yet to endorse in the July 22 runoff.
The Georgia race is one of at least two instances in which the national business group and the tea party are finding common ground. The chamber and Russo's group also have backed Republican Rep. Steve Daines in his bid for a Senate seat in Montana, a key pickup opportunity for the GOP.
Nationally, Republicans are pushing for a net gain of six seats to claim a majority in the Senate and can't afford to lose the Georgia seat. Democrats have rallied behind Michelle Nunn, daughter of former Sen. Sam Nunn, and see her as one of their best chances to thwart GOP ambitions.
And while the tea party hasn't fared that well in early primaries this year, those were largely uphill races against well-funded Republican incumbents.
The Georgia race was a free-for-all and pitted three congressmen against Perdue and former Georgia Secretary of State Karen Handel. Handel and Rep. Paul Broun of Athens drew the most tea party support, with Handel carrying the endorsement of tea party favorite Sarah Palin and the Tea Party Express. She finished a close third, while Broun trailed in fifth.
In recent years, Kingston has moved steadily to the right with votes against raising the debt ceiling and a bipartisan budget bill. While campaigning, he points to a record of cutting spending as a member of the House Appropriations Committee.
Perdue's outsider message, of running against Washington and career politicians, would seem an easier sell with tea party activists seeking candidates willing to take on the establishment. But some of the first-time candidate's comments during the campaign may have set off alarms, and he faced sustained criticism as the front-runner in the final weeks before the primary. He won with 31 percent of the vote to Kingston's 26 percent.
In one instance, Perdue argued he didn't mean raising taxes when he said both spending cuts and increased revenue would be needed to deal with the nation's debt. Perdue said he was talking about efforts to grow the economy, but his original comment prompted the conservative group FreedomWorks for America to declare: "Elect a Conservative, Not Perdue."
Handel on Wednesday backed Kingston and urged her nearly 133,000 supporters in the primary to do the same. One of Handel's chief supporters, Julianne Thompson with the Atlanta Tea Party, also endorsed Kingston.
Perdue's campaign said the fact a few high-profile tea party activists are supporting Kingston doesn't mean rank-and-file members will fall in line.

Teacher says he was banned from attending Obama's speech
Randall Scott claims administration excluded him because of political views
MIAMI-DADE COUNTY, Fla. – As President Barack Obama was speaking at Coral Reef Senior High School last Friday, social studies teacher Randall Scott said he was left sitting alone in his classroom.
Scott said school administrators told him last week that he was "banned" from hearing the president's speech.
POLL: Should teachers be able to share political opinions in the classroom?
He claims the reason is because of his politics. He's an outspoken conservative who makes no effort to hide his views on social media and in the classroom.
The teacher regularly uses his Instagram and Twitter accounts to voice his opposition to the Obama administration. Scott said he fosters open political discussion in his advanced-placement American history classes.
"I believe if I share my views with students and they share their views with me then it's a learning process for both of us," Scott said.
But in the past week, two students have asked to leave Scott's class as a result of things he's said.
Prior to Obama's visit, Scott ignored a school administration request to tone down his social media postings.
Both incidents may have played a part in his exclusion.
"Because of the sensitivity surrounding the allegations regarding remarks that were made -- remarks that were reviewed by Miami-Dade schools police and the U.S. Secret Service -- the matter is currently under review," Miami-Dade County Public Schools spokesman John Schuster said. "The size and setup of the event venue did not permit all of the school's staff and students to attend, and local administrators were required to decide who would attend to represent the school."
Scott, a retired Air Force master sergeant, desires more than an explanation. He wants "whoever is responsible for this to publicly apologize for discriminating against me because of my political views."

Not only did Nathan Stevermer win the Championship Flight category at the Sleepy Eye Golf Club Championship, he did so with style.
Not only did Nathan Stevermer win the Championship Flight category at the Sleepy Eye Golf Club Championship, he did so with style.
Stevermer was able to hit a hole-in-one on hole No. 4 during the championship. He shot a score of 185 over five rounds of nine holes, with an average score of 37. Stevermer hit the hole-in-one during the fourth round and used a pitching wedge to do the job. Its his second ever Championship Flight victory, after he claimed the title in 1995. Steve Schultz took second place in the Championship Flight with a 186, just one stroke behind Stevermer.
The Club Championship was held on Aug. 24 and 25, with qualifying rounds held on Saturday. Club members were then placed in various flights depending on how well they did the first day.
Sleepy Eye Golf Club Manager Brian Hertling said the Club Championship had a pretty good turnout despite the warm temperatures.
"The scores were pretty good considering the weather," Hertling said.
Other winners include Dustin Schueller and Rodney Brummond, who took first and second respectfully in the Presidential Flight. Tyler Jensen and Mike Zuhlsdorf took first and second place in the Vice-Presidential Flight, and Dave Riebel and Jay VanSickle took first and second in the Players Flight. Finally, Ben Laffen took the first place victory in the Youth Flight while Caleb Christiansen and Bryant Mages tied for second.

Simplified Resource Manual
Simplified Resource Manual to Support Application of the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment
Available in English, in French, and in Russian.
Informal translations by OSCE in Armenian and Azerbaijani.
The simplified Resource Manual to Support Application of the Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment was developed following the decision of the Meeting of the Parties to the Protocol in June 2011. It is a short and concise version of the original Resource Manual (ECE/MP.EIA/17), serving as an introduction to the Protocol and its practical application. The simplified manual aims to make the Protocol and its provisions better known and to provide guidance on the practical undertaking of strategic environmental assessment (SEA). In addition, it is hoped that it will encourage readers to explore the original Resource Manual for in-depth information on the Protocol and SEA.
The United Nations Economic Commission for Europe Protocol on Strategic Environmental Assessment to the Convention on Environmental Impact Assessment in a Transboundary Context (Espoo Convention) was adopted in 2003 and entered into force in July 2010. The Protocol establishes a legal requirement to carry out an SEA for certain plans, programmes and, to the extent appropriate, policies and legislation that are likely to have significant effects on the environment, including health. It is a key legal instrument for fostering environmentally sound and sustainable development.
The Simplified Resource Manual does not constitute formal legal or other professional advice, but instead provides guidance to those applying the Protocol or supporting others in doing so.
