WTF

See the blog at the top for the reason why this is simply titled WTF. I don't cuss at all but you'll understand when you read that...Nevermind...situation taken care of.

"Lazy Tuesday" went into production today and post-production will start when I get that flash drive.

Senator Joe Biden wrote an op-ed in the Baltimore Sun about the US acting now to end genocide in Sudan.

Is the skyline in Louisville about to change? I'm impressed with the design without a doubt despite my fear of heights...

It will thrust 61 stories into the sky, a trio of towers that will dominate Louisville's skyline.

It will feature an acre-sized "island," open to the public, that will hover 22 stories in the air.

It will contain a contemporary art museum, restaurants and retail stores, 85 luxury condominiums, 150 lofts, a 300-room hotel, office space and a 1,100-car underground parking garage.

The $380 million Museum Plaza, a radical skyscraper whose design is being introduced to the public today, will add a contemporary landmark to downtown Louisville when it's completed in 2010.[...]

"It's bold. It's ambitious. It's striking," Mayor Jerry Abramson said. "It transforms the skyline of Louisville."[...]

"I'm blown away by the design," attorney Jack Conway said after watching a video that depicted the building from various angles and glowing at night. "I think it's just remarkable."

Lynn Luallen, president of The Housing Partnership and husband of state auditor Crit Luallen, said he loved the architecture and the 22nd-level island. He predicted that people would embrace the unusual design.

"So it's different," Lynn Luallen said. "We need some other signatures for our city."

He predicted that young professionals especially would be attracted to the building -- and would want to live there.

Jim King, a Louisville Metro Council member, and his wife, Debbie, reacted with awe.

Though it's a highly contemporary structure near the West Main historic district, Debbie King said she liked the dissimilarity. "I like the contrast with the traditional buildings," she said.

Fenway Park in Boston is being renovated during this offseason. The renovations are on schedule and will give the ballpark a face lift.

Wednesday, the Sox gave the media a tour of the site, complete with hard hats. A walk out to the Green Monster seats, an earlier upgrade of this regime, showed a look at the home plate area that looks entirely different. Gone is the high glass that sat in front of what was the .406 Club. That area will be open now, with a lower half -- the EMC Club, a $275 seat that will be heated -- and upper half known as the Home Plate Pavilion.

The top portion will connect with the roof boxes that have also been replaced by what will now be a permanent base structure.

The capacity for this season, according to the fire code, will be 38,805, up from 36,298 last year. After the club finishes all upgrades -- this is the fifth one so far under current ownership -- by the park's 100th birthday in 2012, the capacity is projected to be 39,968.
