Invasion of the Dusty Snatchers?
The Reds have Adam Dunn hitting second against A.J. Burnett on Tuesday night. Which can only mean an extra-terrestrial has gained control of Dusty Baker's body. Dunn has been in a pretty horrible slump, but this might be just the thing to shake him out. Kudos to Baker for trying it. With Dunn hitting second, the Reds have Jeff Keppinger batting sixth and Jay Bruce hitting seventh tonight.
Theocracy
Supporters of radical clerics have begun a new holy war in Iran.
The Fatwa declares that "Iraq is a nation under Allah founded on Islam" and that the party is pledged "toward dispelling the myth that Islam is separate from the state.."
They oppose any governmental action to restrict, prohibit, or remove public display of the Koran or other religious symbols.
They support a constitutional act "which would among other provisions bar the Iraqi courts from hearing and ruling in cases regarding governmental entities or officials who acknowledge "Allah as the sovereign source of law, liberty, or government." The law would also permit the impeachment and removal of judges who listen to such cases.
They would forbid judges from determining the constitutionality of laws and end Iraqi court jurisdiction in cases involving Sharia law. It calls for the impeachment of judges who, through the subjective judgment of others, "abuse their authority."
They support minimal oversight and regulation of Mosques and Madrases.
They oppose the teaching of science, where it conflicts with the Koran, or any Mullah's interpretation of the Koran.
They support criminal penalties on medical professionals and scientists who engage in education or research not supported by the Koran.
Their platform supports the widespread and systematic discrimination against homosexuals, and others, including imprisonment and fines for those violating Sharia law and removal of Iraq's jurisdiction over like cases.
... Oh wait, that was the Texas GOP and the guy nailed to two pieces of wood.

Thickest, oldest Arctic ice is melting: NASA data
By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The thickest, oldest and toughest sea ice around the North Pole is melting, a bad sign for the future of the Arctic ice cap, NASA satellite data showed on Tuesday.
"Thickness is an indicator of long-term health of sea ice, and that's not looking good at the moment," Walt Meier of the National Snow and Ice Data Center told reporters in a telephone briefing.
This adds to the litany of disturbing news about Arctic sea ice, which has been retreating over the last three decades, especially last year, when it ebbed to its lowest level.
Scientists have said the trend is spurred by human-generated climate change.
Melting Arctic ice does not raise sea levels as the melting of glaciers on Greenland or Antarctica could, but it does contribute to global warming when reflective white ice is replaced by dark water that absorbs the sun's heat.
Using satellites that measure how much ice covers water in the Arctic and Antarctic, Meier and other climate scientists found a steep drop in the amount of perennial ice -- the hardy, thick ice that is over a year old -- in the north.
The oldest Arctic ice that has survived six years or more is the toughest, and even that shrank dramatically, Meier and the other scientists said.
OLD ICE "TOUGH AS NAILS"
Some 965,300 square miles of perennial ice have been lost -- about one and a half times the area of Alaska -- a 50 percent decrease between February 2007 and February 2008, Meier said.
The oldest "tough as nails" perennial ice has decreased by about 75 percent this year, losing 579,200 square miles (1.5 million sq kms, or about twice the area of Texas, he said.
This doesn't mean the Arctic is open water during the winter, but it does mean that in many areas, the stronger perennial ice is being replaced by younger, frailer new ice that is more easily disturbed by wind and warm sea temperatures.
"It's like looking at a Hollywood set," Meier said of an Arctic largely covered with younger ice. "It may look OK but if you could see behind you'd see ... it's just empty. And what we're seeing with the ice cover is it's becoming more and more empty underneath the ice cover."
Perennial ice is also vulnerable to a recurring pattern of swirling winds and currents known as the Arctic oscillation, which ejects the old ice out of the zone around the pole and aims it south where warmer waters will melt it.
The scientists also analyzed satellite data for Antarctica but found less dramatic change there.
This was attributed to the difference in the two polar regions. The Arctic is an ocean surrounded by land while the Antarctic is a continent surrounded by ocean.
However, the scientists noted sharp warming on the Antarctic Peninsula, which stretches northward from the southern continent toward South America.

End Times Update
Campus is closed tomorrow, too. Then i'm off to Denver on Wed., if the airplane can make it through the ash haze....
Da deadline at http://www.signonsandiego.com/ sez:
'It's going to get worse'
Take a look at dis map (pdf):
http://www.nbcsandiego.com/download/2007/1022/14398090.pdf
Dat's a huge@ss honkin' fire and s#!+. I'm kinda on the lower left, due east of the top of the bay. So if the two big fires head southwest and northwest--whammo!--no more Smiff. Though i'll probably be in Denver by that point. My next door neighbor from work, Dan, and i are going to tie two inflatable mattresses together and float out into the Pacific Ocean if it comes to dat. But things are looking up: UPS just dropped off a couple bottles from my wine club, so at least i'll go out in style wid a Wilson Creek 2005 Estate Syrah Temecula Valley..."Rich flavors of dark cherry, vanilla, and nutmeg [holy crap! nutmeg!!] accent [accent!] this bold [bold!] and beautiful Syrah. It has firm tannins [sounds HOT!] and sweet oak [mmm...oak...] on the finish. This wine will age beuatifully but is enjoyable now. [take DAT, suckers!]"
Smiff, signing out...maybe forever

"News story" at the top of my mail page:
ESPN.com - Mets, Glavine implode, complete epic collapse [FUNNY!]
Time to retire Tommy G. That 80MPH junk ball 10 inches off the plate is no longer getting it done. But like Smiff, some 40+ year olds are still getting it done...

Shocking News!
Cole Hamels won't start Sunday as planned after experiencing elbow soreness during a bullpen session Thursday. Thanks, Decker! The Phillies are still trying (lying) to pass this off as a minor issue. "There's nothing structurally wrong; the ligament's attached," assistant GM Ruben Amaro Jr. said. "We have no reason to believe this to be anything long term." Except for the fact that he's a 23-year-old pitcher with a history of serious arm issues, and Decker owns him (thanks again!). Hamels described the discomfort as minimal (this is known as a lie). He's to be shut down for another six days, so even in a best-case scenario, he'll make just three or four starts next month. And the kicker is: Awful Adam Eaton will pitch Sunday in his place. Expect plenty of s#i+ blowing up.
