Violence plagued journalists in northeastern Assam, Manipur, and Arunachal Pradesh, including four attacks on the Arunachal Times. Tongam Rina, a columnist for the paper, survived a shooting that put her in intensive care for a time. The authorities blocked hundreds of websites they claimed incited ethnic and religious protests in Assam and beyond, but the blocking also affected numerous online news outlets, along with sites that were rebutting calls for violence. The September arrest of anti-graft cartoonist Aseem Trivedi on sedition, insult, and other charges outraged civil society. Trivedi made bail as the sedition charge was dropped, but at least two freelance journalists facing anti-state charges remained in jail without trial for more than a year. A third reporter was imprisoned in late year on retaliatory charges filed after he exposed assaults on young women in Karnataka state. India placed 12th on CPJ's Impunity Index of countries that fail to solve journalist murders. A botched inquiry into the 2011 killing of Jyotirmoy Dey was seen as emblematic of the failure. In Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, and Maharashtra, assailants obstructed coverage of politics, courts, and religion. Nationwide, coverage of corruption was risky: Rajesh Mishra was slain in March for reporting on financial irregularities in Madyha Pradesh schools. In May, Jharkhand authorities threatened videographer Mukesh Rajak for asking questions about local expenditures. Twenty-five percent of journalists killed in India since 1992 covered corruption.
India ranks among the world's worst in combating deadly anti-press crime, according to CPJ's Impunity Index, which calculates unsolved journalist murders as a percentage of each country's population. At least six journalist murders have gone unsolved in India in the past decade.
1. Iraq
2. Somalia
3. Philippines
4. Sri Lanka
5. Colombia
6. Nepal
7. Afghanistan
8. Mexico
9. Russia
10. Pakistan

Fatal July riots in Assam's Kokrajhar District sprang from tensions between Muslims and Bodo tribes. As civilians fled in large numbers, the press came under fire.
|Prominent editor, Ahongsangbam Mobi, attacked in insurgent-ridden Manipur in 2012.
|Maharashtra journalists attacked in 2012 for perceived failures to cover violence against Muslims in Assam.
|Unsolved attacks at the Arunachal Times offices, carried out within six months in 2012.
|Assamese journalists killed for their work since 1992. They include Mohammed Muslimuddin, Prahlad Goala, and Parag Kumar Das.
The penal code's notorious Section 124 (A), introduced by the British in 1870 to quell rebellion, is still used to silence critical journalists. Cartoonist Trivedi is among at least four journalists who have been targeted under sedition and other anti-state laws since 2009:
|Days in prison reporter Laxman Chaudhury of the Oriya-language Sambad daily spent on sedition charges before his release in 2009.
|Days behind bars for Lingaram Kodopi, held on anti-state charges since September 2011.
|Days Sudhir Dhawale has been imprisoned without trial on charges of sedition and terrorism for articles in Vidrohi magazine.
The government said the sites spread fabricated images of anti-Muslim violence, fanning tensions in the northeast and beyond in August. Critics called the blocks arbitrary and politicized.
|Websites carrying "anti-religious" content that a civil court sought to censor. The court issued an order that Google, Facebook, and others remove the pages in response to a Muslim cleric's complaint.
|Twitter accounts blocked by Internet service providers. The accounts had spoofed Prime Minister Manmohan Singh.
|SMS messages permitted per sender, per day, for 15 days in August. The authorities said the rule was intended to limit mass messaging that called for violence, but it also restricted mobile news distribution.

Emory physicians recently completed their 200th Transcatheter Aortic Valve Replacement and the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) also approved the new transcatheter heart valve, under study at Emory since 2007, to treat severe aortic stenosis.
The device called the SAPIEN valve, developed by Edwards Lifesciences, offers a new non-surgical treatment option for patients with failing aortic valves. Emory University Hospital was one of 23 sites nationwide, and the only one in Georgia, to study transcatheter aortic valve replacement (TAVR) with the SAPIEN valve.
Aortic stenosis is a life-threatening heart condition that affects tens of thousands of Americans each year when the aortic valve tightens or narrows, preventing blood from flowing through normally.
During the TAVR procedure, doctors create a small incision in the groin or chest wall and then feed the new valve made of cow heart tissue, mounted on a wire mesh on a catheter, and place it where the new valve is needed. This offers a non-invasive way for doctors to treat patients who are not candidates for traditional surgery.
This is a major milestone in the treatment of heart disease, the development of this procedure and this FDA approval will allow us to help even more patients with valvular heart disease and could mean the difference between life or death for a countless number of patients who are too sick or weak to undergo open-heart surgery to replace their diseased valves.
My colleague, Peter Block, MD, helped lead the Emory clinical trial, along with surgical colleagues, Robert Guyton, MD and Vinod Thourani, MD.

Is Fort Lauderdale the Gayest City in America?
According to 2012 data released by the U.S. Census, Fort Lauderdale, Fla., has the highest concentration of same-sex couple households in the country, the Huffington Post reports.
Fort Lauderdale beat out huge gay cities like San Francisco, as same-sex couples make up 2.8 percent of total households in the south Florida city, which is about 23 miles north of Miami.
Seattle, Wash., came in second place with same-sex couples making up 2.6 percent of the city's households, according to the 2012 Census Bureau data. San Francisco placed third, with 2.5 percent of same-sex households.
According to the Seattle Times, the city's gay population has sharply increased: in 2011, Seattle had 1.7 percent of same-sex couple households.
Some may not be shocked by theses statistics, since Fort Lauderdale has been a popular destination for the LGBT community for sometime as it has 19 gay resorts, according to HuffPo.
But as the Times reported in 2011, same-sex couples are choosing to live in Seattle because they "want what other families want - affordable housing, more space, good schools."
According to the Census results, these are the top 10 cities for same-sex couples:
10. Warwick, Rhode Island
09. Washington, D.C.
08. Providence, Rhode Island
07. Oakland, California
06. Somerville, Massachusetts
05. Portland, Maine
04. Minneapolis, Minnesota
03. San Francisco, California
02. Seattle, Washington
01. Fort Lauderdale, Florida

Skiing in the sun . . . oh yeah, what could be better? New snow?!
All of a sudden we're doin' it again! We finally got the snow and it's been good! Deep snow and sunshine! Skiing in the sun!
As you can see, we had us a Bluebird day. Truthfully, we ripped all the new snow pretty good in the last few days and now it's got some density to it; settling down and the sun got to it. But the corduroy was UNBELIEVABLE!
Zoom and Groom
If you you've tuned into my ranting and raving in the past, I like to brag about the ALL-NATURAL snow at Monarch. Because Monarch is one of the oldest ski areas in the state of Colorado, they been doin' natural, skiing in the sun, since 1939!
I always tell everybody, "what Monarch lacks in vertical, it makes up for in down-home and no crowds". But even that's changing – call someplace paradise and kiss it goodbye. They built an awesome addition on to the old lodge and made a bunch of upgrades. AND they're going to be getting the new chair down into No Name Bowl – up and over from the top of the Breezeway Chair – maybe by next season.
Since Monarch sits atop the Continental Divide, we get hammered with snow regularly. And when we've chewed through all the pow (last Monday! Oh My Dog!), they get the snowcats on the lower angle stuff and turn it all into super-fine Corduroy! Amazing Mach 6 rippin' in the sunshine!
Skiing in the Sun Again Tomorrow?
The really cool thing is that we're going to finally get a good day of skiing in the sun on our 4th Anniversary! We married ourselves on a little rock outcropping, right on the Continental Divide, accessed from the Panorama Chair. Every year on the Winter Solstice, we go back up there and renew our vows – rumor has it, the World is ending tomorrow so this might be the last one!
Big sun and deep snow – what else is there?!

MALMO, Sweden – Hockey Canada will continue to tinker with the way it approaches the world junior championship after finishing out of the medals for an unprecedented second-straight year.
"I thought at times in the tournament we played really well. But we have work to do," said Scott Salmond, Hockey Canada senior director of hockey operations.
"We need to look at our program. It's not one team. I think we need to look at our overall program and how we are doing things, and we will do that and try to get better."
A 2-1 loss to Russia in the bronze-medal game meant Canada wasn't won a medal in back-to-back tournaments.
That has never happened since Hockey Canada created the Program of Excellence in 1982.
"Disappointed, for sure," Salmond said. "It is not just this year. I think the disappointment is over the last couple of years. Little bit of mystery in the way we performed in the semifinal game."
Hockey Canada announced in November that Canada will begin sending three all-star teams to the World Under-17 Hockey Challenge next year as opposed to six regional teams.
That change should help create chemistry with elite players at a younger age, Salmond said.
"First of all, what you see here is a lot of good teams that spend a lot of time together," he said. "You can see in their structure and in the way they play.
"We need to find ways for our best players to play together more often."
Salmond is also open to the possibility of hiring a full-time national team coach.
Salmond said it is too early to make a decision about Brent Sutter returning behind the behind for the 2015 tournament.
Sutter, who led Canada to gold medals in 2005 and 2006, said that decision is up to Hockey Canada.
Under Sutter, Hockey Canada invited only 25 players to its selection camp this year, ultimately cutting three to form the final roster.
In the past, more than 40 players have been invited to camp.
Sutter said the new way of doing things is the most sensible as it allows for earlier team continuity.
He advised against simply picking a 22-man team in case of injuries though.
"Trust me, the changes that were made were not something that was just thought of and done," he said. "A lot of people put a lot of thought into it and it's right."
To keep pace with some of the European teams, Sutter said a greater emphasis on skill development needs to be made at the minor hockey level.
"At 16, 17 when they hit the CHL, there should already be a standard of skill already in place," said Sutter, who coaches, manages and owns the WHL's Red Deer Rebels.
"We're a developmental league, no question. But a lot of that development has had its roots started and they continue to grow from there."
"We do a great job, but where are the areas we can be better?" he added. "That's my feelings. There are probably a million people out there thinking I'm full of crap. That's fine. When you're in this, you see it firsthand. You see where the skill-sets are in some of these other countries, the speed of the game they play at."
Sutter spoke about the parity of tournament after the semifinal and bronze-medal losses, noting how much the level of competition has improved since he last coached in 2006.
Finland won gold on Sunday, becoming the fourth country in as many years to do so.
Canada hasn't won since 2009 and has been on the wrong side of losses at key times.
Salmond would like that to change.
"I am not a big believer in looking outside," he said. "I like to look inside and if they are getting better, we better get better.
"I have been around long enough. I have lost some tournaments here with teams and won some. The ones we won were tight too. It can go either way. They are one-offs. I like the way in the past we found ways to win. We're going to look for those ways to do it again."

Documentary highlights hardships, hard-won victories, of Fla. farmworkers
When Ernie Zahn and Ron Williams traveled to Immokalee, Fla., otherwise known as the tomato capital of America, in spring 2012, they couldn't believe they were still in the United States.
They had heard reports of abysmal working conditions, forced labor and obscenely low wages. But they were all coming from other, much poorer parts of the world -- not their home country.
"We knew, on an international level, of things going awry in factories, most recently at Foxconn, which has accounts with American companies," Zahn said in an interview last week. "You think this stuff is happening in other countries, and that it isn't happening at all domestically."
But as the crisis in Immokalee brutally demonstrated, that couldn't have been further from the truth: Abuse, stagnant wages, mistreatment and unjust labor conditions were (and to a lesser extent, still are) a part of life for tomato pickers in the impoverished Southern Florida community.
The situation became so desperate that in 1993, farmworkers rallied to form the Coalition of Immokalee Workers, an organization dedicated to fighting for better wages and working conditions in Florida's tomato fields.
Greenwich filmmakers Zahn and Williams tell the story of the CIW -- and their successes -- in their new documentary, "Fair Tomatoes: A Story About Justice, Dignity, and Sustainability," to be screened at Franklin Street Works in Stamford on Thursday, March 13. The film will be followed by a Q-and-A with the directors.
Produced by All Kicker, Zahn and Williams' Greenwich-based arts and activism blog, "Fair Tomatoes" follows the CIW as they raise awareness about corporate responsibility, community organizing and sustainable food, while also ending modern-day slavery and other labor abuses.
Though it varies from farm to farm, workers on average have to carry a 32-pound bucket of tomatoes from one end of field to the other 150 times during a 10-hour work day to make the equivalent of minimum wage.
"If you don't meet that requirement, you didn't make minimum wage," Zahn, a graduate of the University of Connecticut Stamford, said.
However, the CIW has fought for and won many concessions from the food industry. The film covers how, in 2011, workers scored a huge victory when they reached an agreement with local tomato growers and several big-name buyers, including McDonald's and Burger King, on receiving a penny more for every pound of fruit they harvested. They call it the "Campaign for Fair Food."
"It's absolutely inspiring," Zahn said. "It's this grassroots campaign that has had so much success. They've gotten backing from Obama White House, received the Roosevelt Institute's Four Freedoms Award and have gotten all these incredible acknowledgments."
Zahn was particularly moved by a speech from Gerardo Reyes-Chavez, one of the leaders of the CIW, who "talks about the move toward greater corporate support and seeing real change in the field," he said.
Though the film explores the efforts of the CIW, it also addresses what restaurants, chefs and consumers can do to support sustainable food practices. The struggle of the CIW continues, Zahn said, and consumers are an integral part of that fight.
"Tomatoes are one of the most pervasive products that are being grown domestically," he said. "The workers have already done so much, and it's up to us to do what we can to help them in that struggle."

If you cannot find the question you would like to ask us, feel free to contact us.
No, the installation of solar power plants is a fairly quick process, with little digging and noisy work involved.
There is much less "messy" construction work involved than in, for example, constructing a building. For the solar power plant, we will need to dig cable channels and secure the mounting system into the ground. Once this is completed, a lot of the work is simply laying panels onto the mounting systems and connecting them.
The installation should take approx. 12–14 months.
Planned construction start is in the 4th Quarter of 2019.
An example of a "typical" solar PV panel is below.
No. The solar power plant will feed all the energy produced into the electricity grid operated by Transgrid.
No. The beauty about solar energy is, that there is no sound or fumes produced. In fact, the only product of the solar power plant is renewable solar energy.
No. Solar panels are designed to absorb radiation, not reflect it: constructed of dark-colored materials and covered with anti-reflective coatings, today's typical solar panels reflect as little as 2 percent of incoming sunlight.
Around the world, solar power plants are even located next to airports (such as the 22,2 MWp power plant Photon Energy built in 2010 in the Czech Republic), where glare would be of paramount concern, and evidence thus far suggests that glare has not been a problem for airport personnel.
No. Most panels are constructed of glass (silicon), with common metals such as aluminum and copper wiring, and don't tend to contain heavy metals or other potentially toxic substances. The one exception is thinfilm solar products, which may contain heavy metals. However, the Carrick project will not use thin film panels. Because few solar panels contain toxic chemicals, they pose little threat of site contamination.
On many power plants sheep are used to eat the grass growing under the panel with no side effects.
Although this project has been designed with a lifespan of 25 years, it is expected that solar panels can produce energy for several more years or decades.
When panels reach the end of their productive lives, they can be broken down into their component parts and recycled. More than 90 percent of a PV module can be recycled; 80 percent of that is glass, with the remainder metals (including silver and aluminum), plastic components, and semiconductors. Furthermore, a number of manufacturers offer voluntary panel take-back programs. Like all manufactured products, the production of solar panels does cost energy—however, studies show that the panels' energy production more than pays off the energy cost of their manufacture, with energy-cost paybacks of less than two years.

Manzanares el Real Castle © Turespaña
An ideal place to enjoy nature, history and outdoor sports less than 60 kilometres from Madrid.
Manzanares El Real, nestling in the mountains of the Sierra de Madrid, is situated within the Cuenca Alta del Manzanares Park, declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO in 1993. Nearby lies La Pedriza, an area of great environmental importance dotted with jagged granite peaks and steeped in legend – it was a favoured haunt of bandits in the second half of the 19th century. Not surprisingly, it also provides some exceptional climbing. One of the highlights of the town's rich historical and cultural heritage its historic center has been declared of Cultural Interest is Manzanares El Real Castle, built in the 15th century. It is one of the best-preserved fortresses in the Madrid Region. The castle houses 17th-century tapestries and furniture, and a museum on the castles of Spain. The Museum of Ethnology is home to archaeological remains uncovered in the municipality and a reconstruction of a traditional dwelling. Other activities include fishing at Santillana Reservoir, walking, horse-trekking and cycling trails, and sampling typical Castilian cuisine.

I think Warren Ellis might be a genius. Seriously.
So I'm getting back into this whole blogging thing. And I totally forgot how much of a whore one needs to make themselves to get anywhere at it. The other day I was listening to 24 Cast and they mentioned that they had gotten themselves listed on PodcastAlley.com and it made me think of what I've been doing.. reminding me of Technorati, Bloglines and such. I haven't spent any time signing up for those things with this site yet. I'll eventually get around to it. If I want this to take off it seems that stuff is key.
I read a lot of sites daily, everything from web comics to tech blogs to politics. It's not rare to find something interesting on any of these sites but it is rare to find something truely inspiring. Two weeks ago, I was inspired, Apple enthusiast / writer John Gruber of DaringFireball.net took a daring leap into the unknown to do something one can only dream about. He quit his job to make an attempt at bloging for a living. His justification? In short… You should love what you do for a living and do what you love for a living. I can't express how much I admire that, regardless of if he suceeds or fails.
Maybe some day I'll have time to be able to blog once a week regularly, after that I'll start working on full time.

BATH — They cried and raised their eyes up in prayer, recalling the warm-hearted woman who for the past two years cooked community meals in a church kitchen as a way of giving back.
More than 150 community members, friends and relatives of Dale Fussell retold stories of the time they spent with the 64-year-old grandmother, in the same hall at the United Church of Christ in Bath where she helped serve the needy.
"She liked being part of something, and we loved that she was part of that something, too," said Patti Silva, a friend of Fussell and manager of the UCC kitchen, during an emotional 45-minute service.
Fussell was killed in a fiery explosion that leveled her Bluff Road duplex Feb. 12, a blast that fire investigators have attributed to a propane leak. An attorney hired by her family to pursue possible litigation against the managers and owners of the apartment complex said she had been having problems with the propane heater in her apartment for several months.
Silva said before the memorial service that Fussell had complained of a severe headache as long as a month ago, saying she smelled gas inside her home. Days before the explosion, Fussell apparently told her brother about problems with her heater, according to the attorney, Terry Garmey.
Fire investigators believe a gas coupling between the exterior supply pipe and an interior hose that fed the heating unit was the source of the leak, allowing the heavy gas to leak and accumulate before a spark apparently ignited it. Propane is heavier than air and can accumulate in enclosed spaces.
State Fire Marshal Joe Thomas said last week there was no way to know how long the propane gas may have accumulated.
Garmey said he met with Fussell's family Tuesday and has provided a notice of claim to EWT LLC 7, the building's owner, and Keystone Management Co., both of Concord, N.H., and Irving Oil of Portsmouth, N.H., which supplies the gas. The notice is the first step toward taking legal action.
A person who answered the phone at Keystone's office declined to comment. Several messages for comment left Tuesday for the owner of EWT LLC 7, listed in New Hampshire corporate records as Eaton W. Tarbell Jr., and a spokesman for Irving Oil, were not returned.
The propane heating system for the Atlantic Townhouse Apartments where Fussell lived was installed in 2000, when Keystone Management Co. took over management of the 144 units.
Garmey said the state caps the amount that a court may award for such a death at $500,000, but by filing the notice with the companies this week, the clock starts to run on interest that could accrue from any future monetary settlement.
"The suspicion is that this was avoidable," said Garmey. "Usually in my experience, (in) explosions and carbon monoxide cases, usually there is a trail of concerning events that are disregarded."
Garmey said he has spoken with family members and friends of Fussell who said that as early as last summer, she told them about having trouble with her gas service and had been warned not to use the air conditioner or a fan because of a problem with the propane. Garmey said he didn't know who had warned her not to use the appliances.
Two days before the blast, Garmey said Fussell had told her brother she was having problems with the heater. He said he was told by two family members that on the night before she was killed, someone performed work on the heater after Fussell complained twice to apartment managers.
"I'm fairly confident that she had problems with her heating unit on various occasions," Garmey said.
At Tuesday's memorial service, people stood in the doorways and aisles of the church to listen to others talk about Fussell, who loved listening to Motown artists and spoke often of her large extended family.
Members of Fussell's family, who came from as far away as Atlanta to attend the ceremony, sat at three tables at the front of the hall. Fussell's brother, Robert "Barry" Price, at times held his head in his hands, before taking his turn to speak.
"Thank you everybody for your love and support to open your homes, your hearts, to this family," said Price, who grew up in Bath. "I've never been so proud to come back as I have today."
Even in the midst of sadness, there were moments of levity, too.
Friends from the church's soup kitchen, called the Neighborhood Cafe, recalled Fussell's unvarnished honesty, her penchant for unexpectedly foul language, and the fun they had thinking up silly names for her kitten, which she eventually named Pickles, Silva said.
Fussell's grandson Terrance Epperson joked that his grandmother would seemingly call him every other relative's name but his.
"She'd call me 'Michael' 18 million times before she called me 'Terrance,'" he said, to a laugh.
Another grandson, Mikey Epperson, 16, of New London, Conn., struggled to contain his emotions, telling of the summer he spent with Fussell and of helping her make dinner. He recalled receiving a pair of socks she had sewn for him.
When he learned of her death, he said he stayed up all night looking at pictures of his grandmother.
"She's not gone," Mikey Epperson said. "She's still here. She's in my heart."

New York, January 14, 2011--The Committee to Protect Journalists is heartened by news reports that three jailed Tunisian journalists have been freed as the repressive regime of Zine El Abidine Ben Ali has fallen. CPJ calls on the new interim Tunisian government to release one other journalist believed to be still in custody.
Bloggers Azyz Amamy and Slim Amamou, arrested on January 7, were reported released from Mornaguia Prison on Thursday shortly after Ben Ali made his final speech to the nation. During the speech, Ben Ali belatedly acknowledged his government's repression, saying that censorship of conventional and online media would come to an immediate end. Instead, his long regime ended.
Nizar Ben Hasan, a correspondent for Radio Kalima, detained by presidential security forces Tuesday in the coastal town of Chebba, was freed today, according to his news organization. Ben Hasan had been arrested while trying to cover street protests in Chebba.
One other journalist is believed to remain in custody, according to CPJ research. Fahem Boukadous, a correspondent for the satellite television station Al-Hiwar al-Tunisi and a contributor to the news website Al-Badeel, is imprisoned on a four-year term on charges of "belonging to a criminal association" and spreading materials "likely to harm public order." He was arrested on July 12, 2010, after an appeals court upheld a conviction for his coverage of 2008 labor protests in the Gafsa mining region.
"The new interim government in Tunisia has a great opportunity to illustrate that it is genuine about its promises to break with the past," said Mohamed Abdel Dayem, CPJ Middle East and North Africa program coordinator. "Releasing Fahem Boukadous would certainly go a long way toward illustrating to the people of Tunisia that business as usual is no longer the order of the day."

Burma / Myanmar
Is the country called Burma or Myanmar? And what's the difference between the two names?
Interestingly, the conflict between the two names is in the English version; there is no such conflict in the Burmese language. The official name of the country in Burmese is Pyidaungzu Myanma Naingngandaw, meaning Union of Myanmar (or Myanma), which is often shortened to Myanma Naingngandaw.
Myanmar has always been the official name of the country in the Burmese language and the Burmese use this word when they want to be official or literary. But since the 19th century, the Burmese have used the name Bama or Bamar in everyday, colloquial speech. This colloquial usage has been turned into Burma in English. In Burmese, both names coexist without conflict, each being used in its proper place. The ultimate etymology and what the name means is unclear, but both Myanmar and Bama ultimately come from the same root.
In 1989, the military junta that rules the country decided to change the official English version of the name from Burma to Myanmar. At the same time, they changed the official transliteration of several other place names to better reflect their pronunciation in Burmese, one of these being the English name of the capital, which was changed from Rangoon to Yangon. But in protest of the military government, which they considered illegitimate, several Western nations, including the US, Australia, Canada, and Britain, refused to recognize this change and went on calling the country Burma. Some Western news organizations follow the lead of their government and use Burma. Others use Myanmar. And other compromise and use both.

A Fun Day But Tough Mariners Loss in Baltimore (8/6/2012)
August 6, 2012 marked our only Mariners game at Camden Yards of the season. So we had to make the most of it. We arrived in plenty of time, got out tickets, and waited for those gates to open up and let us at our Mariners:
When we made our way into the stadium, the Orioles were hitting and our Mariners were stretching in front of their dugout. So that's where we headed. As we approached the dugout, Stephen Pryor was walking down the line a bit to throw his glove in the grass outside of the *stretch zone* — I asked and he happily agreed to pose for this picture with the boys:
I think Kellan's face in that picture is hilarious. He simply refused to smile at the time. He does that at times.
We were safely out of foul ball zone so I could let down my *don't hit my boys* guard. But moments after that picture with Pryor, an Orioles batter ripped a foul ball off of a protective net and it bounced over to the warning track and rolled to a stop just below us. I reached over and grabbed it.
Thank you, very much, Orioles batter and lucky ricochet!
Then we headed above the dugout and watched our guys chat with each other…
…and then go through their stretching routine.
As the stretching began to wind down, I decided we should head down the LF line so we could claim a nice spot (among the 10 fans over there in foul territory) to watch the M's play catch. As we started walking down the line, I saw that Jason Phillips was standing on the foul warning track chatting with some guy (a non-uniformed Mariners employee). As we were walking, Phillips looked up and saw us and he walked over to the bag of baseballs and grabbed one.
Phillips was deep in conversation when we reached Phillips, but he walked over and set the baseball in Tim's glove.
Thanks, Jason!
Since he was deep in conversation, we didn't wait around to chat with Phillips. We just continued down the line. We stopped about one section in from the foul pole and an Oriole immediately hit a baseball foul right behind us. It trickled down the stairs right to us.
With Ichiro no longer on the team, King Felix is by far Tim's new favorite Mariner. At this game, he was sporting his white "Hernandez" t-shirt jersey that the Mariners gave my folks when they were invited to a game in the owners' suite earlier in the season. As all of the players made their way down the line, they stopped about 2-3 sections down from us and gathered around Phillips.
I pointed out Felix to Tim and Tim screamed, "Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii, FEEEEELIX!" Felix turned around and said "hi" and waved at Tim. He then looked back-and-forth like he was searching for something. He was. It was the baseball bag. He went over, grabbed a ball, and launched a arching pop fly in Tim's direction. Tim tried to navigate the seats in the first row, but the ball fell one seat short. No catch, but Tim easily picked up the commemorative Orioles Park baseball from the folded seat.
Thanks, Felix!!!
Moments later, Felix started signing autographs. We scooted over to the small gathering of people around Felix. I was holding Kellan but another fan helped guide time right into the thick of the group…
…(you can see his hat just under the arms of the guy in the royal blue shirt) and King Felix stepped back from the group to get an extra good hold on the ball as he put a beautiful signature right on the sweet spot of the baseball he had just tossed to Tim.
Thanks, again, Felix! (And congrats again on the Perfecto!)
On our drive home, Tim was looking at the Felix autograph while chatting on the phone with his mommy and explaining the autograph. He said something hilarious: "Felix's autograph is so cool. It's part signature and part letters! You know how most autographs are just scribbles like a signature? Well, this is both signature and letters!!!" (That's a paraphrase, by the way).
Once the Mariners started playing catch, we stationed ourselves between Oliver Perez and Shawn Kelley:
Perez was playing catch with King Felix while Kelley played catch with Lucas Luetge.
This was some of the coolest *catch watching* in which we have ever participated. Perez, who apparently has a crazy-strong arm, and Felix were playing long toss and Felix just kept scooting back-and-back-and-back. Eventually, Perez threw a homerun over the CF fence and into the batters' eye. The grass in the batters' eye is elevated so Felix was able to see Perez when he went up to retrieve the ball. So Perez and Felix ended up playing catch from the batters' eye to the LF warning track for a minute or two. It was mighty impressive!
When Felix came back into CF it got even more interesting. Felix nearly threw a ball into the seats. Perez had to drift all the way back to the wall and reach up to get the ball. Then, Felix threw a ball about one full section to our right. It was definitely going into the stands. I raced over there and there was zero doubt in my mind that I was going to catch it. The throw was so offline and high that it didn't seem like Perez was even going for it. But then, as I reached up to make the easy catch at head level, Perez came flying in and made a running/jumping catch about one foot in front of my glove!
The whole thing was a ton of fun to watch.
Felix and Perez finished with some shorter harder throwing:
And then Felix came over to the wall and started signing autographs again. Tim really wanted to get his picture with Felix, but there were too many people at this point gathered around trying to get an autograph. So we backed away from the scene…and got rewarded for it. As Felix signed autographs, Perez slowly walked toward the dugout. Tim was just goofing off minding his own business in the front row when Perez walked up behind him and handed over the highly entertaining Perez-King Felix warm up baseball. Awesome!
Thanks, Oliver!
While all of this was going on with Felix and Perez, I had also been communicating a bit with Shawn Kelley. Kelley seems to be a super cool guy, a great dad and a big fan of kids. And if you follow him on Twitter, you'll see he's pretty funny too.
Well, my goal was to get a picture of him with the boys. At times while players warm up, you can make eye contact or get in a word or two without disturbing their process. I used these little breaks in the action to ask Kelley if the boys could get a picture with him after he was done warming up.
It was funny because he kept motioning like, "You want my autograph?" And I would respond, "That would be cool too, but I really want a picture with you."
Then, wouldn't you know it, Kellan fell down and scraped his knee a bit (he does this all the time) right as Kelley wrapped up his throwing. Kelley still thought we were asking for an autograph. But all of our baseballs were put away and I didn't feel like pulling one out. I really just wanted a picture of him and the boys. Because of the sniffling due to the scraped knee, the picture ended up being just Tim and Shawn:
Probably also due to the sniffling from the scraped knees, before leaving Shawn reached out and handed his warm up baseball to Kellan. And it actually did the trick perfectly! Kellan loves when he gets a baseball. His eyes lit up and he yelled, "Baseball!"
And, hey, it was an Orioles Park commemorative (as was the Perez-Felix warm up baseball!)
Double thanks, Shawn! Keep up the good work!
Once all of the pitchers were finished playing catch, we decided to head out to LCF by the bullpens. Blake Beavan was out there and he decided to toss us this:
While out by the bullpen, Kellan and I were hanging out in one row and Tim was sitting right in front of me. We spend most of our BP time in foul territory so we catch very few homerun balls. In fact, I'm pretty sure the last time I caught a BP homerun on the fly at Camden Yards was in 2004 before Tim was born. Well, it is time to reset that clock. Now, it has been since August 6, 2012.
A Mariner took a mighty hack and hit a screaming liner right to me. Here is a reenactment of where I caught it, right above Tim's head:
Yeah, he was busy eating a Nature Valley bar at the time.
That was it for BP. Time to hit the kids' play area. We cut through the cross aisle around home plate and had an usher take our picture on the way:
After a vigorous bouncy house session, Tim and Kellan played on the too high and dangerous play fort…
…and then Tim did some pitching:
As Tim was unleashing his fastball fury, a fan walked by and yelled something like, "Looking good, King Felix!!!"
After the boys did some playing, we headed over to the bullpen to watch Jason Vargas warm up for the game:
He was looking pretty good. And he had just been named A.L. Pitcher of the Month for July. So I was hoping for good things from him in this game.
Once again (this is becoming the norm this season), Tim requested to do the old switcheroo – ice cream first, dinner second. So we did. We grabbed some ice cream helmets and found some seats in (approximately) section 62:
But something was amiss. Kellan wanted nothing to do with his ice cream. Instead, he just wanted to get out of those seats ASAP:
In that picture, he is trying to squeeze by me into the aisle. He screamed throughout the national anthem. I knew we couldn't stay there. Oddly enough, he calmed down the second we left this section.
We moved to some nearby handicapped accessible seats in the cross aisle…
…and, instantly, Kellan's screaming turned to smiles:
But he still didn't want his ice cream. So, as Dustin Ackley led off the game for the Mariners…
…, I took one for the team and ate Kellan's ice cream.
The Mariners failed to score in the first. Then it was Vargas's turn:
Although he gave up two hits (including a double), he also got through the first inning unscathed.
Unfortunately, Chris Tillman kept retiring Mariners batters while Vargas gave up three runs in the bottom of the second. They were the only runs Vargas would give up over eight otherwise strong innings of work. But the Mariners just weren't hitting.
We followed ice cream with a tasty pizza dinner:
I can't remember who the batter was, but one piece of excitement was when one of the Orioles hit a single into LF and his bat traveled almost as far as the baseball. Here is Kyle Seager retrieving the barrel of the bat from shallow LF:
While we were still eating our pizza, the Oriole Bird wandered by on his way to deliver some birthday wishes to several fans. He stopped to pose for a picture with Tim (and his pizza crust):
Kellan kept a watchful eye on the big, scary Bird:
When the Bird wandered by again, after delivering a gift bag to a second birthday celebrating fan, Tim went over to say hi again and the Bird swiped the hat right off of Tim's head…
…and proceeded to munch on it in his big beaked mouth. Tim got a great kick out of the Bird's antics.
In the fifth inning, Camden Yards regular Matt Hersl stopped by to say hi. He also asked me, "is it too early to mention the no hitter?" Indeed, Chris Tillman was throwing a no-no at the time. I quickly responded, "No, Tillman is throwing a no hitter!!!"
That did the trick: Mike Carp came up moments later and rapped the first Mariners hit of the night into LF.
Matt also mentioned that a guy who he described as "Alex from Seattle" was looking for me. I had no clue who that was. But we were soon pleasantly surprised when Alex "Not from Seattle but wearing a Mariners t-shirt" Kopp approached.
We last saw Alex at PNC Park on June 9th (for MyGameBalls.com's Ballhawkfest 2012). Since then, Alex has started his first job out of college. It was great to catch up with Alex for an inning or two…during which Alex had a great (but unsuccessful) chance at catching his first ever game foul ball. Don't worry, the next day he would catch a Nick Markakis game homerun on the fly in the flag court).
Around the sixth inning, we witnessed one of the worst scenes we've ever witnessed at a ball park. It looked sort of like this:
Here's what happened. We ran over to the moon bounce for a second round of bouncing. Some kids were in the bounce so we had to stand in line. I was holding Kellan and getting him ready (taking his shoes off) when they started letting the next group of kids into the moon bounce. Tim ran up and jumped into the moon bounce. Right as I started to approach with Kellan, a 45-ish year old dad with a 4-ish year old son walked up and asked the moon bounce attendants to call for help. The sat down on the corner of the moon bounce mat, about 2 feet in front of us, and the kid's head was bleeding like crazy. You can see the dad in the blue shirt and orange hat on the right side of the photo above, with blood all around them on the ground.
My mom was an ICU nurse and she tells me that head wounds bleed a lot. But, man, I've never seen anything like this. The kid was drenched in blood. My first instinct was to shield Kellan from seeing what was going on. Another Mariners fan was standing right there (in the hot and sweaty evening air) and he freaked out (in a good way). He ripped off his (no doubt sweaty) shirt and tried to give it to the dad to wipe up the kids' blood. The dad was very thankful but declined because he had something of his own to clean up the kid.
I have no clue what happened to the kid. My first thought was that he fell off of the terribly dangerous looking and tall play set, but I didn't see any blood on the ground over there.
All sorts of cops and security people ran over. The dad did a great job comforting his boy and calling for more help.
Meanwhile, Tim was bouncing in the moon bounce and I circled around the side so Kellan wouldn't see too much of what was going on. All of a sudden, a 30-ish year old lady took a backwards dive right onto the cement. Someone yelled that she was having a seizure, but she was not moving at all. My guess is that she passed out from watching the kid with the bloody head. Whatever happened, she wasn't moving at all. She no doubt bashed her head hard of the cement when she fell. Her daughter (shown on the far left sitting on the ground wearing pink) started to totally freak out.
The lady seemed to be with some other people who started to tend to her. They all called for more help and scream out for another ambulance (the dad had already asked for one for the boy).
Just then, they let the kids out of the moon bounce. The bloody kid was practically sitting on Tim's shoes so he had to go right up to the dad and kid to get them. Actually, you can see Tim's hat directly above the dad's orange hat as he is grabbing his shoes. Once he ran over to me and put on his shoes, I got my boys out of there as fast as humanly possible.
There was bad mojo in the air and I wanted none of it. I have no clue why that cop appears to be smiling/laughing for my camera. It was a very serious and unpleasant scene. It might just be a bad picture and he wasn't really smiling. Who knows.
We got out of there and headed back to the cross-aisle:
Soon, we headed behind home plate. The Mariners were still losing 3-0. They did eventually score one run in the 8th inning and they definitely had opportunities to score a second and third run, but they just couldn't do it.
We headed behind the dugout in the cross-aisle to watch the 8th and 9th innings. Interestingly enough, the usher at the top wouldn't let us stand in the cross aisle (that's a new one on me at Camden Yards), instead she *made us* sit in the fancy seats behind the home plate end of the dugout:
Okay, usher. If you insist!
I took a bunch of unimpressive action shots as the Mariners tried unsuccessfully to tie up the score.
Seager hit a 1-out single in the top of the ninth:
At this point, a homerun would have tied up the score.
Mike Carp grounded out sending Seager to 2B:
Casper Wells hit a weak grounder for an infield single:
Now, with two outs, a homerun would have put the Mariners ahead and a gapped would have probably at tied it.
But, as I mentioned, it wasn't to be. Eric Thames (not on this pitch) grounded into a game ending fielder's choice:
That sent out Mariners in-person season record to 2-1. Alas, no undefeated Mariners season for us in 2012.
After the game, an usher took our picture behind the Mariners dugout:
And one our way out of the stadium, I took this panorama from right next to the batters' eye:
Thankfully, our next three games would feature the Mariners at Safeco Field. Hooray!

These days it's hard to tell Democratic Governor Jerry Brown from the Energizer Bunny.
He and his Democratic majority in the legislature have announced a breakthrough on state employee pension reform. It's the latest of many efforts--some substantive, others symbolic--to show the public that the Democrats are serious about reducing the financial footprint of state spending.
Brown's legislative magic tricks in the past few months have included a sizable reduction in the state's welfare program and reduced salaries for state employees.
U.S. & World
But of all the spending cutbacks, pension reform was the most difficult. Organized labor was out in force on this issue, attempting to preserve gains from recent years and hoping for cooperation from their Democratic allies.
But this time on this issue, the Democrats in the legislature agreed that reform on their terms would be much more desirable than a nasty ballot initiative in 2014, a low turnout year where the deck could be irreparably stacked against them.
But the biggest benefit from pension reform for Brown is the hope that this--along with his other efforts--will yield a huge payoff from the voters passing Proposition 30, Brown's proposal to temporarily raise state income and sales taxes to close the state's $8 billion budget gap.
State spending reductions set the table for Brown's claim that he and the legislature have done everything humanly possible to cut state spending to the bone.
In short, he's trying to rebuild credibility, an attribute that has long been missing from Sacramento. Even Republicans will be hard-pressed to argue against that claim.
The governor may or may not be able to convince the voters he's right about the state's plight.
Over the last few months, polls have shown Proposition 30 carrying with about 54 percent of the vote.
That may sound good but most learned observers agree that a proposition asking the voters to increase their taxes usually requires close to 60 percent approval going into the election.
That's why Brown must continue to show voters that he's the prince of penury between now and November 6th. And judging from his recent successes, he just may do it.

Oct. 8 Bob Melvin workout day interview
Q.Would you talk about the difficulty for opposing teams to play here when it's full and loud and what's the advantage of the Oakland A's?
BOB MELVIN: Well, it is full and it's loud. And we saw that last weekend of the season, I think it really, really helped us. They were involved. And even earlier in the season when I've often said if there's 10 or 15 in here, it sounds like it's 30. And when this place is packed it's about as loud as it gets. So it has an effect on us. We appreciate it.
Q. What do you expect to see from Brett tomorrow, considering the time he's been off?
BOB MELVIN: You know what, not too many limitations. We'll see how it goes. We'll play it by ear. I don't think we're going to do anything too strict as far as his pitch counts go. We're just going to see every inning how he feels and monitor that. Adrenaline kicks in and sometimes you have more in the tank than you normally would after a little bit of time off.
Q. Bob, you played that very tough road trip at the end of the season before coming home, and you had games similar to the ones you just played in Detroit. How much does that experience and considering what you did after that, how much does that do for you now?
BOB MELVIN: Yeah, I think that was the way it was for us basically the last month or so. We played some very dramatic games that we lost and were able to come back and win the next day. Our mantra has been let's play for the day, let's not worry about tomorrow. If we have a nice win we'll ride the momentum of that. If we have a loss, we'll separate and put it aside and go out and play. And this group has been about as good a group of doing that as I've ever been around.
Q. Obviously the strikeout total was high during the regular season. Did you like your club's approach during the first two games or are there things maybe you want to see tomorrow?
BOB MELVIN: You know, we tend to strikeout a little. And we did the first couple of games. It didn't stand out to me. You have a guy like Justin Verlander you're going to strikeout some. And Fister was good, too. He had that run back sinker off the left handers inside.
So it's been something that we've, again, we've had a few of them. So we'll continue to swing the bats like we have. We're one swing away from driving in a couple runs here in this ballpark. It's worked well for us. It's not like the last day you're going to say today let's work on cutting our swing down and choke up two inches on two strikes. We're going to play what got us here.
Q. I probably asked you each of the last couple of days about Jonny Gomes. But looking at the splits, are you considering him starting?
BOB MELVIN: I don't know. It's a tough one. Where? He and Smitty have been the platoon there. Smitty is 6 for 13 with two home runs off of them tomorrow. It's always difficult not to get Jonny in. It's difficult not to get Chris Carter in. But, you know, we're planning it a certain way, and there's a good chance that we're going to continue to do that.
Q. Jim Leyland just came in here and pretty much made it clear that he's sure that Alburquerque was not intending to offend.
BOB MELVIN: Right.
Q. The Detroit Tigers aren't about that. Do you take that to heart?
BOB MELVIN: You know what, I respect Jim Leyland about as much as I respect anyone. I think there are varying degrees to all that stuff, showmanship, whatever. We were accused of something in New York that was going on in our dugout. I think everybody has different takes on that. I don't think there's one right or wrong way. Emotionally after a game when something like that happens you're always going to hear something from somebody. But you move on. It's not a big deal for me.
Q. You saw plenty of Sanchez in the National League?
BOB MELVIN: Yeah.
Q. At least enough to know who he is. Pitching very well again now after a little stumble early. Do you see anything from him lately that you have not seen in the past?BOB MELVIN: I think with most guys that have a track record like him it's confidence. You get a couple of games going in the right direction and then you feed off of that. I don't see anything different in his repertoire to an extent. He has some pitches you have to deal with to begin with. It's not like he's a two pitch guy. I think it's probably more confidence than anything. I haven't been around him.
We did face him, I think it was the last game of the series. So we do have some recent history with him. We're trying to put everything aside and just go out and do what we do best tomorrow.
Q. You talked about the strikeouts and the way it's been all year. What does it say about this team's personality, sort of the way you guys approach hitting?
BOB MELVIN: I think it probably fits in with not the way we approach hitting, but just kind of the style that we play. But I think every team, there's no perfect teams. Every team is going to have deficiencies in a certain area. That's one that's probably not our most prideful stat, yet we work around it.
Q. They've done a pretty good job containing your middle of the lineup guys so far. How important do you see that those guys get rolling for you, and how confident are you they can get it going?
BOB MELVIN: It's two games. Things can change very quickly in one game. I think when you look at how guys were handled or whatever, a two game lack of production, I think that's a pretty small sample size. We're going to be just as confident no matter what happened those last couple of games.
Q. Each of the guys who are sort of your end of the bullpen gave up runs, albeit not entirely their own fault. It's like the first time I think maybe that that's happened in one game. Is there is it just an odd coincidence or do you know, do you think that it has to do with the amount of work that they've done?
BOB MELVIN: No, they had, what, three days off before that game. So they were all rested and ready to go. It just happened. I didn't even know that, that that was the first time, if that's the case, that they were
Q. I haven't looked it up.
BOB MELVIN: No one is going to be perfect. You're not going to run the table and be perfect over the course of the whole season. And they got us. You've got to give them credit for getting us. But that's not going to affect those guys tomorrow, not at all. And I think the fact that they did get rest benefited them and all the velocities were there, all of them made good pitches at times. Certainly Doolittle made a good pitch on Cabrera, if that ball is caught it's a different story, and you never know how it's going to play out after that.
Q. The play in which Coco was run out at the plate. How did you feel about how that transpired?
BOB MELVIN: To me that was an easy send. Coco is always prepared to go on any ball hit to the outfield. He gets good jumps, made a good slide. It was a perfect throw and a great tag, and it was as close as it can be. Whenever it's that close, you never fault something like that. And we are aggressive. Coco is very aggressive. I think it was the right call all around, they just made a great play.

joefahrner necesitaba un nuevo diseño de página web y lanzó un concurso de diseño en 99designs.
Un ganador ha sido elegido entre 26 diseños de 12 diseñadores freelance.
We are a unique new video startup looking for a simple but revolutionary site design.
We are looking to develop templates for two key pages of our site. The actual content is still in development and this design will help craft how and what information we display.
What we want is a "style" to these key pages that we can build content off of. Don't get too caught up in the actual content but rather focus
on the flow of the pages since we will build the content around the
right design.
Here are the key details of the two pages:
1) Home page: This will serve as the launching pad for the site. New users will register here and registered users will login. We partcularly like how sites like twitter.com, tumblr.com and muxtape.com handle their homepage design (we are not looking to knock off any of these designs but want to provide them as basic examples to draw inspiration from).
2) Video page: The video needs to be the star of this page. It should focus primarily on the video content that is being displayed. It should also include a basic navigation and footer as well as a simple way to display similar videos that a user may want to click on and view. Users will be providing titles, descriptions and tags for each video so it is important to think how that information will be displayed in a informational and clutter free way.
Some other useful information:
- This is a consumer focused site
- The site is focused on viewing and sharing videos
- The logo was recently designed in another 99designs contest. Images, fonts, colors, etc are all available here:
- Progressive, simple, soothing design that is distinctive but also familiar in its simplicity
- Sites we love include tumblr.com, muxtape.com, twitter.com, wordpress.com, delicious.com.
- Clunky, image heavy sites that confuse or put off the user
- Over done design that is too cutesy or "cartoony"
- Anything that is completely derivative of other web properties
- We ARE NOT building a youtube clone
