VforV, you got the message from TRC right? Try to log in every 30 minutes. All scheduled time will be paid (not sure what they're gonna do about the Incentive people but I suppose a time-stamped mail to one's mentor would prove intent to work extra hours.)

Capecchi is a former reporter at the Catholic Spirit in St. Paul, where she advised the youth supplement Speak Up! She has been published in such papers as the New York Times, the Chicago Tribune and the St. Paul Pioneer Press. She is the author of the monthly column "Twenty Something," which appears in 30 Catholic papers across the country.
Who could have anticipated that a newspaper that employed such an ace journalist as Judith Miller could be hoodwinked in such a fashion?
Two reasons for even glancing at the NYT:
--Krug
--Rich

It's just too early. The worst part is there aren't that many stations that play anything worth listening to. I'm not usually in the car long enough to listen to NPR. That station is perfect for sort trips. Old rock and roll and sappy love songs. On Sat. night they have this person Delilah who takes calls from people with really boring stories about their great loves. They're so bad they're funny.
I suppose I could just turn it off but then I have to listen to the engine noises and that always freaks me out.

She actually has a website I think, Delilah.com. Very religious and into missionary stuff but she has a great voice and an odd sense of humor I kind of like. I don't listen to NPR because most of my trips fall into the five minutes or less range. It's not enough time to follow what's going on.

Nasty fire breaks out near LA
----
More California residents were ordered from their homes Saturday as a wind-driven wildfire spread westward to Interstate 5 from the Los Angeles area, authorities said.
A helicopter drops water on on the Sayre fire early Saturday in Los Angeles County, California.
Deputy Los Angeles Police Chief Michel Moore said residents in the Granada Hills and Puerto Ranch area, where there are narrow streets and hilly terrain, must leave their homes.
"This fire is moving so quickly that they can't wait," Moore warned. "Don't wait until you see open flames."

This is separate from the Tea fire in Santa Barbara.

Heckuva job, FDIC.
Got a letter from T. Rowe Price saying that they've signed up for deposit protection for their commercial paper money market. Too late. I moved most of that to an actual bank that offered a higher yield and FDIC insurance.
And if I move it back, I don't get the insurance protection. It only applies to funds put in before September 19.
So there was a run of redemptions. And under these rules, they ain't ever coming back.

Don't misunderstand, I love the show even though I think Delilah is a little too "Jesus loves you". And maybe I should say the stories are anti-climatic. They build up to this big point, some person going on and on about their lost love and then -- nothing. You're expecting the punchline to be how they rediscovered each other but they don't. Maybe it's just the ones I catch. I have heard some moving ones on rare occassions. Again, I spend very little time in the car so it's very hit or miss.

And simels said here, 45 years later, that the food wasn't good. That is proof that he didn't smoke any mary jane. He was the jerk. Phoebe, after she got over her trauma, said he looked like a shaved Charlie Manson. Phoebe said she would recognize those eyes anywhere.
But he did have a thing about mashed potatoes and girls' boobs and thinking having his mother's credit card was some kind of big deal.
