We're starting a fantasy league at my office. There are to free fantasy baseball web sites that I've found, yahoo and Fox sports. Anyone played either one before? What’s the difference?

Thanks to all.

I just picked it up this afternoon, so I haven't had a chance to read it. But it looks like a good article. Some nice photos of Blue Note sessions in the article. Anyone read it yet?

I just bought Johnny Griffin's Argo session called "Johnny Griffin". A great album, but it is only 26 minutes long. Has anyone else bought any CD's that were real short?

Here is the cover, plus the URL Hank Photo

Does anyone here have this years BN calendar? Some great shots in it.

Can you image sitting in seismic stations and you see this? You know something bad just happen.

Interesting site. Seismic Monitor

Quake rattled Earth orbit, changed map of Asia: US geophysicist Mon Dec 27, 8:33 PM ET Asia - AFP LOS ANGELES, (AFP) - An earthquake that unleashed deadly tidal waves on Asia was so powerful it made the Earth wobble on its axis and permanently altered the regional map, US geophysicists said. AFP Photo The 9.0-magnitude temblor that struck 250 kilometers (155 miles) southeast of Sumatra island Sunday may have moved small islands as much as 20 meters (66 feet), according to one expert. "That earthquake has changed the map," US Geological Survey expert Ken Hudnut told AFP. "Based on seismic modeling, some of the smaller islands off the southwest coast of Sumatra may have moved to the southwest by about 20 meters. That is a lot of slip." The northwestern tip of the Indonesian territory of Sumatra may also have shifted to the southwest by around 36 meters (120 feet), Hudnut said. In addition, the energy released as the two sides of the undersea fault slipped against each other made the Earth wobble on its axis, Hudnut said. "We can detect very slight motions of the Earth and I would expect that the Earth wobbled in its orbit when the earthquake occurred due the massive amount of energy exerted and the sudden shift in mass," Hudnut said. Another USGS (news - web sites) research geophysicist agreed that the Earth would have got a "little jog," and that the islands off Sumatra would have been moved by the quake. However, Stuart Sipkin, of the USGS National Earthquake Information Center in Golden Colorado, said it was more likely that the islands off Sumatra had risen higher out of the sea than they had moved laterally. "In in this case, the Indian plate dived below the Burma plate, causing uplift, so most of the motion to the islands would have been vertical, not horizontal." The tsunamis unleashed by the fourth-biggest earthquake in a century have left at least 23,675 people dead in eight countries across Asia and as far as Somalia in East Africa. The tsunamis wiped out entire coastal villages and pulled beach-goers out to sea. The International Red Cross estimated that up to one million people have been displaced by the natural calamity.

At least 40,000 dead and another 25,000 may be also dead . I heard on the news this morning, the quake was so strong, it altered Earth's rotation.

I only wish that was ture.

Many most likely just remain in radio stations shelves.

Hands down Horace Silver. From 1952 to the end Horace remained loyal to the label and left. He put out albums every year.

That's too bad if they close.

Have a good one.

We were at a Canadian jazz festival, and the Jazz Messengers came on. And they had no tenor player - Hank Mobley had gone. Blakey was playing Monk's tune 'Evidence'. Blakey would say 'We'd like to play a tune by the high priest of bop. He calls it "Evidence", but we call it "Justice".' Lee Morgan saw me from the bandstand, and after the set he came running over and said, 'Hey, Wayne, you want to play with us?' And I said, 'Shit, yeah!'" - Wayne Shorter,

Anyone here have this documentary? Was thinking of buying it, but just wanted to know what others think of it.

Thanks for the info.

Can someone recommend a PC based software to copy music? I have some shows I had recorded back in the 70’s and 80’s on cassettes, which I want to convert to CDR’s. When I copy them down to my hard drive and burn them to CDR’s, the quality diminishes. In some cases, the drums over power all other instruments. But when listening from the source tape, the music sounds just fine. It could be a generation drop off when making copies from audio to digital, but not too sure.

I needed this today. That was so funny.

Dan, I was going to include "Goin' to Chicago", Count Basie with Joe Williams and Lambert Hendricks and Ross. There's some great vocals on that album.

Motown and soul music.

A co worker asked me to make him a CD of jazz music. He never listened to jazz much, and wanted me to try to get him hooked. So far these are what I selected. 1) Moanin' Art Blakey 2) Sidewinder Lee Morgan 3) Song for my Father Horace Silver 4) Bye Bye Blackbird Miles and Coltrane What else should I include?

If you can stick it out four more years, things should get better.

My top place to live was Coral Gables FL. Never been there. Second was Houma, Louisiana.
