Victorino hits Grand Slam off Sabathia! Phils up 5-1!

I liked Saboteur with Robert Cummings as the man unjustly accused of sabotage. Maybe not his best but still a good film. Finale in the Statue of Liberty.

Rays over White Sox Angels over Red Sox Rays over Angels in 7 Cubs over Dodgers Phillies over Brewers Cubs over Phillies in 5 Cubs over Rays in 6 Since I don't think the Cubs have many weaknesses, and the Phils finished well, I think the matchup to watch will be Cub v Phils.

Wait til next year!! (My prediction for the Nationals was a bit off!)

Congratulations, Phillies! We gave 'em a scare in the 9th inning!

I liked the Long Hot Summer, Hud, Absence of Malice, The Verdict. A versatile actor!

Works fine for me. I see posts later than June 12. Any other pages not loading correctly?

Well, to be fair, I made a lucky guess! I think I also predicted that the Blue Jays would be in the playoffs!! ISBY

I for one welcome our foreign bank overlords.

I question the decision(s) to have the Astros play the Cubs when their city and families were under danger from Ike. If that's the Astros' ownership, harsh.

On the line for bold, italic etc click the second green link (for image) then insert the URL of the image.

Yes, good luck to Texans on this board! Ike seems to be heading your way. Since it won't make landfall until Saturday, I imagine Thursday will be your day to decide if and where to evacuate.

Be careful out there with the remnants of Hanna! In the DC suburbs we didn't fare so bad.

They also used to end the day's programming with the national anthem but they don't do that anymore. Why does TV hate America?

Sorry if this has been posted before or somewhere else, but I just received a CD from el/Cherry Red Records called Os Afro Sambas A Vontade, which releases two of Baden Powell's mid-60s albums. Appears to be a 2008 release. Gorgeous! http://www.amazon.com/Afro-Sambas-Vontade-...7255&sr=8-2 I have the 1996 cd remake here: http://www.amazon.com/Os-Afro-Sambas-Baden...471&sr=8-15

What a voice! When did "Preview of coming attractions" become "movie trailers"? The term doesn't make sense to me since the previews don't trail the movies, they are shown before. I've seen the Wikipedia entry and it seems to have a British bent, even using the spelling "programme."

My sister ended up evacuating to a condo on the Florida beach in Perdido Key!! Can't believe she did that! She said it was rough but far enough away, I guess. Drove back today from the Florida/Alabama border to Lafayette, Louisiana. She made it out lucky, but I haven't yet heard from a friend in Houma who had a mandatory evacuation. Landfall for the eye was about 10-15 miles south of Houma. Like Fay, Gustav is taking its time. Vermilion, Iberia, St. Martin and St. Mary parishes had flood-threatening rain today, too much in too little time. Baton Rouge got some wind damage. I don't think many people are returning home for a couple more days at least. Some won't go home for a few weeks, I'm afraid -- in Terrebone, Lafourche, Plaquemines, St. Charles, and maybe New Orleans. Hope Mississippi made it out well. It looks like the area north of Baton Rouge got some damage, like Hattiesburg and maybe Laurel. Looks like Arkansas got pounded today, and there were tornado warnings in Memphis. I don't agree with that Wikipedia number on New Orleans at all. From CNN to MSNBC to Weather Channel, they all say more like 1/2 or less have returned.

Yeah, I believe this is new. Go to Google and click Preferences. Click Do not provide query suggestions in the search box.

Good luck, man! My sister and nieces live in Lafayette, Louisiana, and my ancestral home is in Vermilion parish along the coast to the west of New Orleans. My cousin's citrus farm in Leroy, Louisiana, was just about the southernmost farm not destroyed by Hurricane Rita in 2005 in that part of the state. The Mississippi Gulf coast is a treasure and I hope it makes it through without damage.

I don't think the storm is as big or as strong as Katrina, but I wouldn't want to be around to test whether the Corps of Engineers sufficiently repaired the levees! Of if officials are ready to lead better this time. My thoughts are with the people of New Orleans!

Must be. The public domain was equated here with communism. That's decline.

I heard the notion of a compulsory license for these orphaned or devalued works from Chuck Nessa!

If the individual intellectual property rights infringed by the 78 blog are the right to keep the works out of print and assign them to oblivion, then I think the 78s blog's service to the public domain is more important than that individual right. What would be a fair compulsory license fee for distributing these works that have no monetary value? Certainly something very low and not burdensome for the blogger. I also feel this way about eminent domain when the government takes privately owned land at a fair price in order to build public roads. The scenarios are fairly analogous. That of course does not apply to the AEC and Saturn situation.

I say it's wrong because Chuck and the artists are still living and should benefit financially from their work. The work is not in the public domain. No need for the parenthetical assumption that everyone who downloads does it from a false sense of entitlement.

2 out of 3 for Cubs against my Washington Senators, I mean Nationals. Our TV color man, Ray Knight, said today that he saw no real weaknesses in the Cubs this year and it looks like a special team. They have the best pitching in the national league over the last 7 years, and while they always could hack they also seem to able to take walks this year. You have a good chance this year against the Mets and Phillies, both of whom have weaknesses. For a team to do well, it needs to be lucky with injuries and it needs a player to have a career season. This year you probably have 3 in Theriot, DaRosa, and Dempster.
