A startup that has a method for killing BitTorrent swarms gets a cash infusion from Redmond.
By Andy Patrizio on Tue, 05/15/12 – 9:12am.
A Russian startup developer is claiming to have a new method for tracking and shutting down any trading of copyrighted works on BitTorrent, and they are getting help from Microsoft to keep the development going.
The company, called Pirate Pay (a play on The Pirate Bay, the prominent piracy site for BitTorrent users), recently conducted a test in its native Russia. Last December, the film "Vysotsky. Thanks to God, I'm Alive" hit Russian theaters, and for one month, Pirate Pay blocked downloads of torrents of the movie.
In those 30 days, Pirate Pay technology blocked 44,845 infringed copies of the movie from being downloaded. Users could not download it even though it might be in the search engine of a torrent network like Pirate's Bay. No word on how many versions of the film got through, however.
"Vysotsky" was one of the first films released by Walt Disney Studios Sony Pictures Releasing (WDSSPR), so Pirate Pay now has the attention of two of the largest entertainment companies in the world as well.
In addition to funding from its native Russia, Pirate Pay received a $100,000 investment from the Microsoft Seed Financing Fund last year. The company consists of seven people and is based in Skokovo, the home to Russia's attempt at its own Silicon Valley, so it gets tax breaks in addition to its investor funding.
Pirate Pay works by charging between $12,000 and $50,000 to protect specific movies. It will check existing BitTorrent swarms and attacks swarms that contain the protected content, making it impossible for people to share files. The company won't say how it works, obviously, but it appears to masquerade as legitimate peers and sends down garbage information.
This sounds a lot like MediaDefender, a company that charged hundreds of thousands of dollars to send out fake torrent files, and in the end all it managed to do was attack an innocent company, Revision3, with a Denial of Service attack. Hopefully our Russian friends won't screw up so badly.
The idea started three years ago when the three co-founders and co-developers were building a traffic management solution for Internet Service Providers. The technology worked so well it was able to stop BitTorrent traffic. "After creating the prototype, we realized we could more generally prevent files from being downloaded, which meant that the program had great promise in combating the spread of pirated content," CEO Andrei Klimenko told a Russian publication.
The "Vysotsky" experiment was educational, said Alex Klimenko, CTO of the company. "Not everything passed smoothly in the beginning. We faced a difficult task to make a working prototype into a full service for a very short time. And in the process we gained invaluable experience, our technology has become literally a hundred times better and now Pirate Pay is able to block counterfeiting in torrents much better."

ROME, Dec 23 (Reuters) - The Italian government approved a decree early on Friday that will open the way for the rescue of Monte dei Paschi di Siena after the world's oldest bank failed to win backing from investors for a vital capital increase.
Prime Minister Paolo Gentiloni told reporters his cabinet had authorised the creation of a 20-billion-euro ($21 billion) fund to prop up Italy's embattled banking sector, with Monte dei Paschi expected to be first in line for help.
"Today marks an important day for Monte dei Paschi, a day that sees it turn a corner and able to reassure its depositors," Gentiloni said. (Writing by Crispian Balmer; Editing by Valentina Za)

Judging the Royals
Don't take the Minnesota Twins lightly
In August of 2013 the Kansas City Royals played a four game weekend series against the Boston Red Sox. The stadium was packed, the crowds were enthusiastic and the Royals played well and took three out of four games. Then the lowly Miami Marlins came to town and the Royals got beat two out of three times. There's a lesson to be learned from those two series: don't take any opponent lightly.
After a big series against the Oakland A's the Royals now play three teams with losing records: the Twins, the Rockies and the Rangers—but a loss to a losing team is still a loss and the Royals need to take care of business on the road. They made a good start on Friday night, beating the Minnesota Twins 6-5.
My son Paul watched the game and here's his report:
The Twins try to ambush Duffy
Danny Duffy came out aggressively in the bottom of the first against the Twins on Friday night, and looked dominant. The Twins clearly were trying to jump on early fastballs from Duffy – Danny Santana and Brian Dozier both swung at the first fastball they saw, and after taking a fastball for a strike, Joe Mauer attacked the next two, eventually flying out to Alex Gordon in left.
The ambush didn't work; even though they got the fastballs they were looking for, the Twins hitters let Duffy get out of the first inning after only six pitches.
Duffy breaks out his curve
Duffy continued to throw nothing but fastballs through much of the second inning and didn't have to go to his breaking stuff until he got into a 1-1 count with Oswaldo Arcia. A 1-1 count is an important one: it's a turning point in an at-bat that gives an advantage to either the batter or the pitcher, and with Kurt Suzuki on second base, Duffy didn't want to give Arcia anything to hit. Arcia took the curve for a ball, but then swung and missed at the next two fastballs to end the inning.
In the bottom of the third, Eduardo Escobar led off with an excellent eight-pitch at-bat, finally hitting a 2-2 changeup back up the middle for a leadoff single. Jordan Schafer came to the plate next and worked another 1-1 count. Duffy threw another curve to Schafer, but it appeared Schafer was sitting on the 1-1 curve: he waited on it and took it the other way for a single down the third-base line.
After Santana's sac bunt, a Danny Duffy throwing error and Dozier's groundout put the Twins up 2-0, Joe Mauer came to bat and again worked a 1-1 count. Duffy again threw a curve to Mauer, who loaded up and took a vicious hack, but this curve stayed down and Mauer missed it. Even so the Mauer and Schafer's at-bats seemed to indicate that the Twins had keyed in on the pattern of 1-1 curveballs that Sal Perez and Duffy were throwing.
This is the type of predictable pitch-calling pattern that has caused trouble for the Royals at times this year, and they were lucky that it didn't cause them more trouble on Friday night. But to their credit, Sal and Duffy changed up their pattern throughout the game, mixing in Duffy's change and curve in other counts, and this adjustment helped Duffy get the victory.
Willingham makes an adjustment
In the top of the second, Josh Willingham came to bat with Billy Butler on second and Alex Gordon on first. It was the Royals' first at-bat of the game with a runner in scoring position. Willingham took a first-pitch slider from Twins' starter Ricky Nolasco for ball one, then got a slider that stayed right over the heart of the plate. It's the type of pitch that a power hitter like Willingham feasts on, but he took it to go 1-1, and he eventually struck out on a 1-2 slider that had a much nastier break. It was a frustrating at-bat that led to the Royals stranding their first two base-runners.
But Willingham is a veteran, and he made the proper adjustment in his next at-bat.
In the top of the fourth, after Nolasco loaded the bases by hitting Gordon on the foot, Willingham came to the plate. Nolasco started him off with another slider, and again left it up, right over the plate. Willingham jumped on it and ripped a double down the left-field line. That cleared the bases and gave the lead back to the Royals. Though he said after the game that he wasn't specifically sitting on the slider, he knew Nolasco would try to get strike one in on him, and he looked to be aggressive early. It was a good adjustment from a veteran hitter, and by making it, Willingham was able to blow open the Royals' fourth-inning rally and give his team the lead.
Duffy's error; the outfielders do their jobs
In the bottom of the third, after the singles from Eduardo Escobar and Schafer, Santana came to the plate and laid down a bunt that died right between the mound and home plate. Duffy sprinted forward and fielded it, but Santana's speed made Duffy rush the throw over to Butler at first, and it sailed over Butler's head and into the first-base side foul territory. Fortunately for the Royals, Nori Aoki was doing his job out in right field by backing up the throw to Butler, just in case this exact thing happened. Aoki fielded the wild throw as Escobar scored, and tried to throw out Santana at second base. But Aoki's throw sailed over Alcides Escobar's head out into left field. Again, fortunately for KC, Alex Gordon was doing his job, rushing in to back up Aoki's throw. Gordon fielded the wild throw in shallow left, which kept Schafer at third and Santana at second.
Though Schafer eventually did score on Brian Dozier's groundout, if Alex hadn't been doing his job, he probably would have scored on Aoki's wild throw, and Santana would have moved up to third, setting up a possible three-run inning for the Twins. But both Aoki and Gordon did what they were supposed to do: a mundane job that usually doesn't matter and most people never notice, but a job that becomes necessary in an instant, when your team needs you most. The Royals got into a jam in the third, and Aoki and Gordon, by fulfilling their responsibilities, helped get them out of it.
Runners on third, but no runs
In the top of the third, Jarrod Dyson hit a one-out triple to the right-center gap. Aoki came to bat next, looking to get something up to score Dyson. Aoki worked to a 3-0 count, then took a fastball on the outside corner for strike one. It was a good take – not a pitch that he could drive, and close to being ball four. But Nolasco placed the next fastball a little bit closer to the outside edge, and Aoki again took it for strike two. Aoki appeared to disagree with the call, but it was too close to take after the previous pitch. Aoki then got a slider in on his hands and struck out on a check-swing.
With no outs in the fourth, after Escobar's bases-clearing triple, Dyson grounded out to first and Aoki popped out to shallow left – both unproductive outs that couldn't score Escobar. Omar Infante ended the inning by rolling over into a 6-3 groundout.
In the seventh inning, Dyson again got to third base with one out, on a wild pitch to Infante. Infante struck out on the next pitch, and Sal struck out looking in the next at-bat.
Again, in the ninth, Lorenzo Cain got to third with one out after a nice opposite field groundout by Infante. To his credit, Sal, next at the plate, got a good pitch to score Cain on a sac fly – a 94-mph fastball up in the zone – but he couldn't square it up and popped out to Dozier at second base. Butler ended the inning by grounding out to short.
It's hard to complain about how the Royals win, especially when they're the hottest team in baseball - but that's four times they had a runner on third with less than two outs, and zero times they were able to get him in. In what turned out to be a one-run ballgame, those four missed opportunities become a pretty big deal. The Royals' offense has been excellent and highly productive lately, but at some point the production will inevitably slow down – and when it does, you need to be able to generate runs in these situations. Though it didn't end up hurting them on Friday night, the Royals will have to take advantage of these opportunities going forward.
—Paul Judge
The human element
According to MLB.com Danny Duffy's first pitch to Kennys Vargas in the third inning was a ball. But a look at the strike zone reveals that pitch was pretty much down the middle. So why didn't Duffy get the call?
Because Salvador Perez was set up inside and the pitch missed out over the plate. Sal had to reach across his body and catch it outside his right knee; it was still a strike, it just didn't look good and home plate umpire David Rackley called it a ball. This why you can't look at that pitch and say Salvador Perez did a bad job of framing the ball; the way Sal received it had nothing to do with Rackley's call. Duffy missed his spot badly and—whether you agree with it or not—a lot of umpires won't call that pitch a strike.
There's still a human element to the game and if you don't acknowledge that, you're missing something.

From the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon World Heritage inscription:
Rock Islands Southern Lagoon covers 100,200-hectare and numbers 445 uninhabited limestone islands of volcanic origin. Many of them display unique mushroom-like shapes in turquoise lagoons surrounded by coral reefs. The aesthetic beauty of the site is heightened by a complex reef system featuring over 385 coral species and different types of habitat. They sustain a large diversity of plants, birds and marine life including dugong and at least 13 shark species. The site harbors the highest concentration of marine lakes anywhere, isolated bodies of seawater separated from the ocean by land barriers. They are among the islands' distinctive features and sustain high endemism of populations which continue to yield new species discoveries.
I visited the rock islands of Palau back in 2007. It was added to the UNESCO World Heritage list on July of 2012.
There are few places that were more deserving of World Heritage status than the rock islands of Palau. Despite being one fo the smallest countries in the world, the rock islands feature some of the most unique landscapes on the planet. It is home to my #1 ranked dive spot in the world and my #1 ranked travel experience (swimming with jellyfish).
Not shabby for a country with under 20,000 people!
My only real question is why this wasn't listed as a World Heritage site earlier.
The Rock Islands Southern Lagoon is located in Palau and is a mixed type UNESCO World Heritage Site. It was inscribed into the list in 2012. The UNESCO site is more commonly referred to as "The Rock Islands of Palau". It is one of the top tourist attractions in Palau but the tourist visits to the area rose exponentially when it was named a UNESCO site as it garnered global attention.
The Southern Lagoon of Palau's Rock Islands is located in between the islands of Peleliu and Koror. However, the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon is now an incorporated part of the state of Koror. This group of islands consists of about 445 islands.
About the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon
The Rock Islands Southern Lagoon in Palau is a preserved marine landscape consisting of about more than 400 islands that are uninhabited. These islands are named as such for their iconic shape. The islands within this archipelago are formed out of volcanic origin. The abundant rainfall in these islands has resulted in the formation of diverse habitat in the area, along with the over 50 marine lakes.
Even though the islands that make up the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon are currently uninhabited, there have been records of settlement in some of these islands. In fact, archaeologists and explorers were able to unearth rock art, remains of island settlement, and cave burial sites among these islands in Palau. For this reason, there is a cultural value to the islands, on top of its rich natural landscape and marine life.
There are several notable islands among hundreds that make up the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon. The three largest islands are Ulong, Eil Malk, and Ngeruktabel. There are also several other notable islands that form this UNESCO site namely Bukrrairong, Ongael, Ngeteklou, Ngerukeuid, and Bablomekang, to name a few.
In addition to the record of human settlement, there is also a rich level of biodiversity among the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon. The large reef system on the islands serves as home to various marine species such as 13 species of sharks, 7 giant clam species, endemic nautilus and more than 700 species of fish. Dugongs are also highly seen among these islands. There is also rich diversity among the coral species as there are nearly 400 recorded species of them in the area.
Tourism and Preservation
The tourism industry is one of the largest industries that support the development of the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon in Palau. It is a haven for water sports and activities such as scuba diving, snorkeling, and kayaking. There are several notable dive spots in the area including the German Channel, The Blue Corner, and Blue Holes. The Jellyfish Lake is its most popular attraction, though. This lake is home to two species of jellyfish: Moon and Golden Jellyfish. Since these two species are unable to sting, the lake is considered safe to swim in.
The rise in tourism activity within Rock Islands Southern Lagoon has given rise to a potential threat to the integrity of the natural and cultural significance. The management and supervision of the Rock Islands Southern Lagoon are under the responsibility of the Koror State of Palau. They are the ones to ensure that any tourist activity in the area does not threaten or undermine the environmental regulations put in place on the islands and the archaeological ruins. Since the area is uninhabited, the only major threat to the islands comes from the rising sea levels.

Antoni Sarcevic was sent from the pitch and boss Graham Alexander was sent to the stands as Fleetwood Town's play-off bid hit the buffers in Derbyshire.
Fleetwood's bright start gave no hint of the chaos to come, David Ball and Liam McAlinden looking lively in the early exchanges.
A lengthy stoppage for an injury to Chesterfield's Daniel Jones, stretchered off the field after colliding with Conor McLaughlin down the Spireites left, changed the game.
Paul Cook shuffled his pack throwing the lively Gboly Ariyibi into the action and changing the whole game.
Town suddently found themselves closed down, denied space by Chesterfield who had a fresh outlet down the right.
And just after the half hour Ariyibi broke down the right, flicking the ball to Tendayi Darikwa, his pass picking out lone striker Caolan Lavery who turned and fired across Chris Maxwell into the Fleetwood net.
Chesterfield were in complete control and sealed their win before the break, Stephen Jordan giving away a free kick, Ollie Banks free kick met by Ariyibi, Maxwell saving but the ball falling loose for Sam Hird to stab home.
Antoni Sarcevic's reaction was unforgivable, losing the plot, booked twice for dissent in a matter of seconds as Town marched back for the restart - his red card marking the afternoon as a write-off for the visitors.
Town did their best to limit the damage but couldn't hold out, Aribiyi doing the damage again, a darting run, leaving debutant Adam Chicksen for dead and picking out Sam Morsy who swept the ball home.
It was enough for Fleetwood boss Graham Alexander who wasn't sparing in his words to referee Patrick Miller, sent to the stands as the wheels fell off Fleetwood Town.
Chris Maxwell was almost beaten for a fourth, Mark Roberts with a vital clearance to prevent Gary Roberts icing the cake.
Town's spirit in their damage control efforts was admirable but the game was already gone, the afternoon one to forget.

About Us
In recognition of the service and sacrifices of our Marines and Sailors, "The Friends of the 11th Marines" are leading a campaign to raise money to fund the 11th Marines Ceremonial Garden.
In the fall of 2015, the Commanding General of the 1st Marine Division asked the Commanding Officer of 11th Marines why they did not have a memorial site at Las Pulgas to recognize the regiment's fallen Marines and Sailors. In response to the CG's challenge, and with some guidance from the Regimental Commander, a group of retired Marines from 11th Marines began the process to establish such a site.
The Veterans of 11th Marines have partnered with the energetic patriots of the Rotary Clubs of San Juan Capistrano and Camp Pendleton. As a federally registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization, the Rotary Club has extensive experience supporting Marines and Sailors. Combined, we have many decades of experience and an extensive network to tell our story and to find donors who want to help us achieve our goal.

Tumwater triple jumper Lane Russell is all about the technique
Lane Russell might not be the fastest or strongest high school triple jumper in Washington, and he knows he's not the biggest.
But in mastering the complexities of the triple jump, it's technique that matters, and right now, in this state, nobody does it better than Russell.
Russell, a 5-foot-8 senior at Tumwater High School, is the reigning Class 2A state triple jump champion. His 47-foot-1-inch performance at last spring's state meet topped all classifications.
The honors student — he'll compete for Princeton University next year — also is a dedicated student of the event that used to be known as the hop, step and jump.
"More than anything, it's his determination and attention to detail," Tumwater jump coach Tracy Johnson said. "He's probably the most technically sound jumper in the state."
Said Thunderbirds head coach Rich Brown: "He's always been pretty natural at it, right out of the gate. He's definitely talented, but he works hard, too. It's something he's passionate about, and he does it year-round."
In Tumwater's preseason workouts, Russell is not yet at full speed because of a
lingering hamstring injury that prevented him from defending his title at the Simplot Games, an elite high school indoor meet at Idaho State University in Pocatello.
At the Simplot Games in February 2013, before Russell's junior season at Tumwater, he topped a strong field with a personal-record 49-1.
"That was really my best technical jump," said Russell, who has video of it. "I still look at it, and when I'm getting ready for a meet, I envision that technique. I keep it on my phone and watch it a lot."
Russell also is an accomplished long jumper — he earned a second-place medal at state last spring after breaking 22 feet — but he says he'll never have the pure speed to beat the best guys in that event.
"In the triple jump, you've got to have the explosiveness, you've got to have the ability to maintain your velocity and still have strength at the end to go the distance," Brown said.
"In the long jump, you can kind of skirt around (technique) with speed. In triple jump, you have a series of steps you go through. If you don't have the strength, you'll lose your velocity, and you'll also lose your distance."
Russell first got excited about the triple jump watching an older cousin, Allyssa Russell, compete in the event for Wilson High School.
In his freshman season and still new to the triple jump, Lane Russell reached 40 feet and then was forced to shut down because of injury. While he recovered, he focused on technique — "mostly so I wouldn't get hurt again" — and by the end of that season, he reached 43-9.
As a sophomore, he finished second in the 2A state meet with a jump of 43-10.
Last spring, Russell led a 1-2-3 finish by 2A Evergreen Conference triple jumpers. Bryan Moon of W.F. West was second at 44-3, and Ryan Chase of Capital was third at 43-13/4.
Moon and Chase return to challenge Russell this season. Russell says teammate Trevor Davis, a junior, also is a state-caliber triple jumper.
Tumwater has another burgeoning triple jump standout in Russell's sister, Peyton, who placed fifth at state last season in the 2A girls event as a ninth-grader. She emerged from the winter indoor season as the fourth-ranked sophomore triple jumper in the United States, according to DyeStat.com.
Now, her brother is doing everything his workout calls for, but not at full exertion, as he sets his sights on two national-level meets: the Arcadia Invitational, April 11-12 in Arcadia, Calif.; and the Oregon Relays, April 18-19 in Eugene.
"I think my goals would be higher if I hadn't hurt myself, just because I really don't know where I'm at right now," he said.
Johnson said the ceiling for Russell is high — 52, 53, even 54 feet as he moves on to compete in college — if he can stay healthy.
Russell said he's aiming for 50 feet this season, with his ultimate high school goal the overall state record of 50-91/4, set in 2011 by Kasen Williams of Skyline.
If Russell falls short, it won't be for lack of preparation.
"I really do find the workouts cathartic," he said. "I do a lot of studying, a lot of schoolwork, and the track is kind of my reprieve from that. I love it, absolutely."

The Black Norwegian Elkhound (Norsk Elghund Sort) is a modern variant of the Grey Norwegian Elkhound. It is a small Spitz breed and is very rare outside the Nordic countries of Scandinavia. It is bred for the same purpose as the Grey Norwegian Elkhound but is smaller, more agile, and easier to recognize in the snow. Historically, it is a much "younger" breed, first bred in Norway during the early 1800s.
The AKC breed name "Elkhound," is a direct translation from its original Norwegian name "Elghund," meaning "moose dog." In Norwegian, "elg" means "moose", and "hund" means "dog."
The Black Norwegian Elkhound is a typical Spitz breed with a short compact body, dark eyes, ears standing straight up, and a curly tail carried over the back. It has a rich coat that does not stand out from the body. This is an all-weather hunting dog and the coat is very important. It must be able to keep out the heavy autumn rain in Scandinavia and endure the cold weather, which it does very well.
It has a dense, short, thick, course, double coat and is solid black. The dog stands about 46-51 centimeters (18"-20") - 47 cm (+3/-4) for males and 44 cm (+3/-4) for females - and weighs about 18 kilograms (40 lbs).
The Black Norwegian Elkhound is a very robust and hardy dog: very alert and full of power and pride. It is more strong-minded than the Grey Elkhound, and consequently needs a firm master as its leader. It is easy to train, but always needs something to do to be happy. It needs continuous exercise and activity in concert with its superb intelligence to do well. It is an excellent hunting dog and loves to be in the forest.
The Black Elhound is used in all types of hunts but excels best in hunting large game such as elk, moose and bear. It is very good at tracking and makes an excellent guard dog. It is a good family dog but can sometimes be a bit contentious in relations with other dogs. The Elkhound has been an important dog for farmers in Scandinavia for hundreds of years.
Its coat requires frequent brushing.

3 stars for Spanish eats at Pubbelly's Barceloneta Sunset in South Miami
Pubbelly's sizeable paunch already has a hold on South Beach, with its sushi, steak, tacos, tapas, Italian and gastropub restaurants consistently packing them in. But can a Pubbelly concept play off the beach? An hourlong wait at the no-reservations Barceloneta in South Miami on a recent Saturday night says "Yes." Chef and co-owner Juliana Gonzalez opened Barceloneta's Sunset Drive outpost in January, about a year and a half into the original location's successful run on 20th Street in Miami Beach, aka Pubbelly Row. The two menus are identical.
Like its South Beach sibling, the newer Barceloneta fills up quickly on weekend nights. The placement of the host stand and bar immediately inside the front door creates somewhat of a logjam as people wait for a table. Still, service is efficient, and plates come out quickly once you order. If you're less into a scene and more into the food, go for a weekend brunch. You'll get the same menu, with a few eggy additions, and the same attention to quality. Case in point: Gonzalez was in the kitchen, and running dishes out to tables, on a Sunday afternoon.
Ambience: The smells of sizzling garlic and gambas that greet your entrance, and the sips of cava and Spanish draft beer that temper that extended wait, send immediate signals of comfort: This is where you want to eat tonight, and where you'll be talking about tomorrow. No-reservations annoyances aside — we were quoted 30 minutes for a table — Barceloneta excels at delivering a tapas experience that's equal parts classic and modern. There's sangria and high-quality cured meats for those seeking the former, shrimp with chocolate and a salad named for Spanish avant-garde chef Ferran Adria for those with a hankering for the latter.
What Worked
- Chorizo flatbread: four squares of hauntingly smoky spiced pork topped with creamy burrata to cut the spice and peppery arugula to keep things bright
- Tostas that are ideal to share with tablemates
- Fresh, simply grilled snapper, octopus and skirt steak
- Garlicky aioli that's a tangy complement to seafood hot off the plancha
- A roasted-pepper romesco that matches up with meat
- Creamy, crispy and piping hot cod fritters with a distinct lemony kick
- Tender & meaty grilled octopus
- Ridiculously good baked eggs flamenco – crisp nibs of fried squid atop two soft-baked eggs in a cast-iron dish
- Elevated humble shrimp tacos garnished with a light, zippy avocado mousse, crunchy red cabbage and baby cilantro with coriander seeds that popped with citrus freshness
- Spanish wines by the glass and bottle that represent a number of the country's top growing regions and varietals
- A gin-and-tonic program should keep cocktail drinkers happy
- Barceloneta salad – fresh frisee layerd with shaved Manchego cheese, Serrano ham, sweet little wheatberries, top-shelf balsamic vinegar and a little truffle oil
What Didn't Work
- Spicy tomato sauce that lacked heat
- Soggy fried potato cubes
- Slices of octopus that get lost under a salty blanket of potato cream (the menu kindly calls it foam) and chorizo oil in pulpo a feira

Pistone Hair Restoration
Restore Your Hair. Get Your Confidence Back and Start Getting More Out of Life!
Got Plugs?
Up until the 1990's, the only known method to restore lost hair involved transplanting large punches (plugs) of hair from the rear of the head to the front – otherwise known as hair plugs. Some plugs contained 30 or more hairs.
The grafts were difficult to orient properly and produced noticeably unnatural results. Today there are thousands of men and women who would like nothing more than to reverse this outdated "pluggy" look. Dr. Pistone is renowned for his ability to effectively reverse the effects of bad hair transplants. Combining Follicular Unit Transplantation and creative recycling of hair, Dr. Pistone helps patients dramatically improve the look of their previously transplanted hair.
Utilizing the spaces in and around the previously transplanted hair, tiny follicular unit grafts camouflage the older work and soften the existing hairline. Older, larger plugs are partially or entirely removed by Dr. Pistone, depending on patient need. They are then divided and recycled creating much smaller follicular unit grafts. These grafts are then re-implanted into the scalp with special care to ensure a natural effect.
This process of combining recycled hair with newly harvested hair, allows Dr. Pistone to reverse the unnatural results produced by a bad hair transplant. The result: a new, natural, soft-feathered hairline.

It's the middle of nesting season and many birds are finishing up with their first, and even second, broods. Which means that baby birds everywhere!
This is the time of year that wildlife rehabilitators and organizations get swamped with phone calls about baby birds. I should know — I've made "that" phone call, and I've been on the receiving end.
Navigating how to engage with wild birds can be confusing. The lists of dos and don'ts are long, easily debated, and sometimes not followed.
Here's a post to keep in your back pocket for when you encounter a baby bird and how to set it up for success.
"That" Phone Call
"That" phone call refers to this:
"Hi. I found a nest full of baby birds and the mom isn't around. What should I do?"
"Hi. I found a baby bird. What should I do?"
I'm not a rehabilitator, so you know what? Make "that" phone call! Be "that" person who consults a professional before intervening on a wild bird's behalf. In my opinion, that is the best action a person can take.
Follow the instructions that the rehabilitator or organization gives to you, even if those instructions are, DO NOTHING.
Do Nothing
The "do nothing" instructions are difficult to accept because most of us want to solve a perceived problem. But the "do nothing" instructions are for the benefit of the wild bird. There are reasons a rehabilitator might instruct you to do nothing.
Alternatively, this is what might happen if you don't heed the instructions given to you by a professional and take matters into your own hands:
- If you take in the bird and feed it: the bird will become malnourished and most likely die. You need to ask yourself, "Am I wildlife professional?" If the answer is "No" then, do follow the instructions given to you by the rehabilitator.
- If you take in a wild bird that is old enough to survive on its own, the bird may become imprinted on you and will not successfully reintegrate into the wild. That means, the bird might think you are part of its species and not recognize its own kind.
- If you take a bird before calling a professional, they might refuse to take the bird for policy reasons. Some rehabilitators might refuse a bird that has been fed, or taken, that why it is best to call a wildlife rehabber first.
If you find a fully feathered "baby" bird on the ground — leave it alone. Baby birds fledge (meaning they leave the nest) before they are able to properly fly, or fly at all.
The parent(s) will feed the fledgling(s) on the ground. If you find an unfeathered, or partially feathered, baby bird and you know where the nest is you can put it back.
In short, the best thing you can do to help a baby bird is to call a wildlife rehabilitator. A simple Google search can put you in touch with one and if you're feeling proactive, Google now and enter the number in your phone.

Last Tuesday, Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) held its annual shareholders meeting in Waterloo, Ontario, where management formally changed its name from Research In Motion. Shareholders approved the name change by more than two-thirds of the votes cast. This year marks Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY)'s transition from a mobile communications company into a mobile computing company. However, the latest first quarter earnings results have left investors unimpressed by the turnaround.
During the shareholder meeting, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins explained his three-stage transformation plan to bring BlackBerry back to profitability. The company completed the first stage over the past year by refocusing on the brand, increasing company sentiment, reducing costs and sustaining a strong liquidity position. Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) is in the second stage of its turnaround, aiming to build and invest in BlackBerry 10 and its Enterprise Solution for businesses. The third stage focuses on benefiting from the company's changes and investments and returning to profitability.
Dismal Earnings
BlackBerry announced a net loss of $84 million or $0.16 per share, down from a net profit of $98 million or $0.19 per share in the previous quarter. In the same period last year, BlackBerry posted a loss of $518 million or $0.99 per share. BlackBerry expected to breakeven for the quarter. Revenue came in at $3.07 billion, up from $2.8 billion a year ago and up 15% sequentially from the previous quarter. Gross margin fell to 33.9% from 40.1% last quarter.
Management blamed part of its profit losses on Venezuelan foreign currency regulations that shaved off $0.10 per share from the bottom line. The Venezuelan restrictions cost Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) $72 million in service revenues and 2% in gross margins. BlackBerry's results fell short of consensus expectations of $0.06 earnings per share on $3.4 billion in revenues. The company reported that it will not make an operating profit in the current (second) quarter.
BlackBerry ended the quarter with 72 million subscribers, down from 76 million and 79 million subscribers in the preceding quarters. Subscribers decreased in Latin America, Europe, Middle East, Africa and North America. The company gained ground in Asia-Pacific with additional users. Investors expected the subscriber base to stabilize after the launch of BlackBerry 10, but the company continues to lose subscribers to handsets powered by Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL), Google and Microsoft Corporation (NASDAQ:MSFT) operating systems.
Although BlackBerry reported weaker-than-expected earnings, the company posted a stronger balance sheet than previous quarters. The company increased its cash and investment balance to $3.1 million and recorded no outstanding debt. The company saved $1 billion in costs with its restructuring program that minimized its workforce and manufacturing facilities.
Investors hammered the stock below $11 per share, down more than 28% in pre-market trading after the company's disappointing earnings report – price levels seen in November before the launch of BlackBerry 10. At the time of writing, the stock trades at $9.28 per share.
Some believe Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) has no future in the smartphone market and that it will go out of business. It is difficult to make these allegations when BlackBerry has no debt on its balance sheet and holds billions of dollars in the bank. The company may become a takeover target – an expensive takeover target that will reward shareholders.
The smartphone market has become more competitive than six years ago when BlackBerry and Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) dominated. Since then, other competitors caught up and flooded the market with differentiated products at competing price levels. Some feel the company underestimated the smartphone market and entered too late with its new BlackBerry 10 handsets. The company has struggled to recover market share from Apple Inc. (NASDAQ:AAPL) and Google in the U.S. smartphone market – a competitive market that Heins believes Research In Motion Ltd (NASDAQ:BBRY) needs to penetrate to remain relevant.
According to market research firm Kantar, Google's Android operating system dominated the United States with 52% market share during the second quarter. Apple closed the gap with 41.9% share. Apple's partnership with T-Mobile helped the iPhone maker become the best selling smartphone on T-Mobile in the three-month period ending in May. T-Mobile dumped subsidies and two-year contracts and offered unlocked iPhones at full price – a hit with U.S. customers.
"The highly anticipated release of the iPhone on T-Mobile has benefited iOS in the latest three-month period, though it has not yet impacted T-Mobile's share in the market," said Dominic Sunnebo from Kantar. Apple's iPhone sales made up 31% of T-Mobile's smartphone sales over the second quarter. AT&T and Verizon accounted for 60.5% and 43.8% of iPhone's sales, respectively.

Note for Adults: Talking about the Why
The See A Needle? flyer is meant to provide the very, very basic information – the What, and What to Do. But most kids are also going to ask Why – Why are there needles? What do people use them for? Are doctors giving shots in the park?
Some parents/guardians may not be comfortable talking to their children about things like heroin, addiction, and illegal drug use – and depending on the age of the child, they may have NO way to understand the information! You are the best judge of what your child can comprehend, and what they can handle.
I urge you to give them some information, though. Studies have shown that when parents don't talk to their children about certain topics, children don't stop asking about those topics – they just stop asking their parents, instead looking elsewhere for answers: other kids, teachers, other adults in their lives, TV, the internet. If you can bring yourself to talk to them about even the uncomfortable topics, then YOU get to steer how they view that topic – and they will know that they can come to you about it!
For younger children, basic information like: "Someone was using that to put something inside their body – but it was a bad choice to leave it out like that. We don't throw trash on the ground, and especially not trash that can hurt someone!"
For older children: "Some people put chemicals inside their bodies – it's like medicine**, only it's not good for them, and it's not from a doctor. It's illegal to do this, and very dangerous."
**Some needles found in public are, in fact, from diabetics injecting insulin, and we can explain that to kids as well. But we shouldn't pretend that's all it is; we're not protecting them by withholding information, but making them susceptible to misinformation from others – others who might not have their best interests at heart.
How do we answer "But why do people do that?" This comes down to how we view addiction, and our worldview. Here is what I told my son (he was 8 at that time):
"We don't understand exactly why people do heroin, or why some people get addicted but others don't. Some people think it's fun – it makes their body feel a certain way, and they like that, or they think they might like that, so they try it. And some people try it and don't like it. And some people try it, and do think it's fun, and do it now and then but not all the time. And it's not good for their bodies, it can cause damage, even one use. And it's not safe to do, not even once – it's damaging to your body, and since it's illegal, you have no idea if you're really getting what you mean to, and it can be mixed with even more dangerous things . . .
And some people try it once or twice, and they somehow can't stop doing it. Maybe they got a brain that doesn't make the right chemicals in the right amounts, and so, even though it's bad for them, it makes them feel better, at least for a short time, because it makes up for a not-working-right brain.
Or maybe they had a really bad life – a lot of pain, or an accident or really bad trauma, or their family was mean and abusive their whole life, so they never ever felt safe or okay. And the drugs make them forget about that for a little while, so even though it's bad for their body, it still feels better than their life did without it.
I'm not happy that they're doing it.
And I'm really not happy that they leave needles out, where they could hurt someone.
But I feel really, really bad for them – anyone stuck in addiction has to be going through a pretty terrible level of miserable.
And when you're that level of miserable – you can't really think about anyone else.
You're not even making good choices for yourself.
You're just trying to survive, the only way you think you can, from one minute to the next – and that is a terrible way to have to live."

You Could Earn A Reward!
Idaho Power annually stocks the Snake River between Shoshone Falls and C.J. Strike Dam with rainbow trout as a means of improving sport fishing.
Some of these catchable-size stocked fish have been fitted with a metal jaw tag. The information obtained from anglers catching these tagged fish helps Idaho Power researchers determine the success of this fish stocking program.
This program is part of an overall fish stocking effort required by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) as part of the relicensing of the company's hydroelectric projects along the Snake River.
Should you catch a trout fitted with a single jaw tag, please record the following information:
- The number on the tag
- The date you caught the fish
- The location where you caught the trout (for example, approximately one mile above C.J. Strike Dam)
- Whether or not you released or kept the fish
Call 1-800-388-6011, toll-free, and provide this information along with your name, mailing address and telephone number. Anglers providing this information will be entered in a drawing for $1,000 to be awarded annually.

text: Blog How to Properly Clean Windows in Charlotte, North Carolina August 11, 2014 A window offers you a beautiful view to the outdoors, brings light in and helps protect your home from the elements. That means they see a lot of action. From dirt, water and pollen on the outside to smudges or pets on the inside, your windows' glass gets dirty pretty quick. Luckily, cleaning the glass in windows is fairly simple. You can clean your original replacement windows in five easy steps. Many Pella windows have features that make it easier for you to clean the exterior glass from inside your home. Here's our window cleaning process. Brush off your window sills. You'll want to get rid of the dirt, dust and anything else that is stuck on the window sills and ledges to prevent smearing the glass later on. Now's the best time to clean the screens, too. Just run your vacuum's dusting brush attachment over the side facing in. Use a premixed vinegar-based cleaning solution (mix your own with one part white vinegar to 10 parts water), and apply to a soft, clean, lint-free cloth or paper towel. You can also use an ammonia-free glass cleaner such as Pella's glass cleaner, Windex® or Sparkle®. Spray the cleaner generously, but try to avoid getting the solution on the wood, fiberglass or vinyl frames, as they may discolor the finish. Rub from several directions and let air dry. Rinse with clean water if streaks remain after cleaning. For the best view, we'd also recommend cleaning your windows on a cloudy day. If you clean them while it's sunny, the solution can dry too quickly, leaving streaks on your window glass. Your Pella professionals in Charlotte prefer using microfiber cloths to clean window glass since it's lint-free and doesn't leave tiny particles behind. Your windows could look so clean, you might forget the glass is even there. Now that's what we call a perfect view. Please note: You should not use ammonia- or alcohol-based glass cleaners. They'll leave streaks or generate a film that attracts moisture and dust. See your owner's manual for more information on cleaning other parts of your wood windows, vinyl windows or fiberglass windows, or call your Pella Windows Showroom in Charlotte. Back to Blog

the shows
Centrestage presents its long-awaited tribute to U2 In the Name of Love at the Boardwalks Vodacom Amphitheatre from 10-14 March, before the production moves to East Londons Guild Theatre from 18-21 March.
Featuring the unstoppable Wayne Kallis as U2 front-man Bono and guest artist Darren Peens as guitarist The Edge along with Mike McAuley as bassist Adam Clayton and Gino Fabbri as Larry Mullin jr on drums, the show promises to recreate U2s atmospheric, anthemic sound, impassioned vocals and enthralling live performance-style with complete authenticity.
The timing of the show could not have been better, as U2s first studio album in the last 5 years No Line on the Horizon was released to unprecedented interest this week.
Being known as the greatest live band in the world with an unsurpassed 140 million album sales and 22 Grammys under their belt, U2 holds a formidable challenge to the popular Centrestage All-Star Band.
Kalliss natural stage energy is a perfect match for the charismatic Bono, while ex-Eminent Child singer, guitarist and songwriter and U2 fanatic Peens is a perfect fit to play the U2 guitarist who has been his icon since school days.
u2 centrestage
U2 has been my absolute favourite band for as long as I can remember - and they have been my biggest musical influence, says Peens .
I have twice seen them perform live and I have every DVD and CD that I could get my hands on, so when Gary Hemmings approached me to be in the show, I immediately dropped everything to fulfil this dream role!
Peens, who runs a recording studio in St Francis Bay called The Playground Studio, has studied the Edges guitar technique and is proud to admit that he has his textural qualities down pat.
The sound we are producing is huge it has an extremely authentic stadium feel about it. The U2 sound is as much about the atmosphere and the spaces between the music, so it is fantastic to be working with a group of such talented and sympathetic musicians who can recreate the U2 ambiance with the required respect, he says.
The U2 show also brings back together 3 of the original Eminent Child members as Peens will rejoin former band mates Gino Fabbri and Mike McAuley on stage.
Rather than use backing tracks as U2 are also known to do when playing live Centrestage opted to include Donovan Hattingh and Khanya Matomela in the group to augment the sound of the foursome and to be able to remain faithful to the studio interpretations of the songs, while still performing absolutely live.
We listened carefully to both live and studio versions of the songs, said Kallis, then chose the best of both.
Another long-time U2 fan is ace lighting designer Mike Broderick, who has also had the privilege of seeing U2 live at various venues around the world.
Mike brings an ability to interpret the way U2 parodied stage excesses in their live shows. We could never have considered staging this tribute without involving his creative genius, says Centrestage owner Gary Hemmings.
While the show will feature all of U2s biggest hits, much emphasis has also been placed on the magical moments that have characterised their live performances over the years.
Songs such as New Years Day, With or Without You, Sunday Bloody Sunday, I Still Havent Found What I Am looking For and Where the Streets Have No Name represent their earlier albums, while Elevation, Vertigo, Beautiful Day, Discotheque and City of Blinding Lights - and the brand new Get Your Boots On - will make up the latter contributions.

Securitization Pros Tackle Diamond Deal
Investment-banking firm Castle Placement is shopping a securitization of trade receivables tied to an unusual asset: diamonds.
Castle Placement began showing the deal to investors at the Structured Finance Industry Group's "SFIG Vegas 2017" conference, held Feb. 26-March 1 in Las Vegas. The privately placed transaction is expected to total about $220 million and carry a single-A rating from Kroll. It likely will price in May, with Guggenheim running the books.
The issuer is Diambel, a diamond wholesaler based in Antwerp, Belgium. Diambel acts as a middleman between mining companies including De Beers and jewelry retailers, with a specialty in smaller, lower-quality diamonds.
The planned bond offering presumably would be underpinned by payments Diambel is owed from retailers. Sources said the securitization would employ a revolving trust, similar to deals backed by credit-card receivables. The word is that the issuer could be good for one or two deals per year.
Castle Placement has told investors that Diambel had been financing its business via a bank warehouse facility. But the bank recently withdrew the credit line as part of a broader pullback from financing commodity businesses in response to regulatory-capital changes under the Bank for International Settlements' Basel 3 rules.
Spearheading the marketing effort at Castle Placement is managing director Ken Hackel, who joined the New York firm in June following a stint at CRT Capital as head of securitized-product strategy.
Castle Placement is led by securitization veterans Richard Luftig and Ken Margolis. Margolis' resume includes a stint as co-head of collateralized debt obligation banking at Merrill Lynch and sime time as a structured-product trader on Credit Suisse's proprietary-trading desk. Luftig was a senior executive at Bear Stearns, where his duties included head of structured-product distribution in North America.

Don't even get me started. If you don't know by now, how lazy and disorganized I can get at times, well, you don't know me. There has been a few things on my plate since the last time we chatted, but this last week has been a royal pain in the.... It started off with a last minute trip to the Doctor's last Friday and I ended up with my once every 10 year bottle of antibiotics . There goes Mr. Drinking, cause the last time I tried that, I turned several different shades of color down at Dogfish. This Tuesday morning I decided to jump up and run up the stairs from a basement to shut off some water that we were working on. Opening of stairs 6 feet. My big head, 6 and a half feet. Winner by a knockout, the 2x6 in the opening. In the background I could hear Howard Cosell screaming "Down goes Bengel!" The next 12 hours I spent in my lazy boy with bags of ice on top of my swollen head. Ah yeah, living the dream.
But enough of that sob story, let's start a fun one, shall we? This Saturday at the Railroad Street Bar is one fine event you beer geeks don't want to miss. Evolution is making their big splash locally with a tap takeover. The Railroad is going to match these beers up with some of their famous grilled cheese sandwiches. Hence the name of the event "The Evolution Of The Grilled Cheese" The question is, how am I going to pull this off? Sampler only and pray it's still on Thanksgiving Eve looks like the best bet. It is also the chance to meet Evolution new sales rep, Megan Moore. She is promising a hell of a lot of goodies, like;
Menagerie 8
Wandering Monk
Firkin of Holy Mole
Lot 3 IPA
Lot 6 DIPA
Primal Pale Ale
Exile ESB
Secret Spot Winter Ale
Spring Migration
Jacques Au Lantern
Now in case you don't know by now (Pt2) I am a big fan of these guys. I have gone as far and said they are the Baby Odells of the East. Nice solid lineup of regulars and one hell of a nice touch with the barrel stuff. So, when you see me at the bar slowing crying into my beer sampler, you'll know why.
P.S. Any updates on taps and sandwiches to be posted as soon as they come in
Start time is 12 o'clock and Lucky 7 Porter wasn't ready from the brewery along with Rise Up Stout. Secret Spot Winter will take their place.

Sleep Apnea
Sleep Apnea is an extremely serious condition that causes a person to wake up constantly throughout the night from respiratory disturbances like sleep apnea (when you stop breathing). Sleep apnea will cause medical conditions to occur, and existing medical conditions to worsen or make more difficult for you and your doctor to manage. Hypertension (high blood pressure, eventually renal failure), diabetes, heart failure, and stroke are very common in people who suffer from sleep apnea.
If you have been diagnosed with sleep apnea and can't comfortably wear a CPap machine, we can offer a dental appliance to help keep your airway open and help both your breathing and snoring problems.
Contact our office for more information about Sleep Apnea.

do Paço, A., Shiel, C., Cotton, D. and Lavrador, T., 2015. Does gender really matter when we are talking about energy saving attitudes and behaviours? In: IAPNM 2015: International Association of Public and Nonprofit Marketing 14th International Congress, 24--27 June 2015, Vitoria, Brazil.

Some studies indicate that women tend to be more pro-environmental than men, since they buy more green products, play a more active role in the separation of packages for recycling and display behaviour that is more favourable in regard to saving energy resources. With a specific focus on gender differences, this study aims to compare English and Portuguese students' attitudes and behaviours in relation to energy saving. Three universities participated in this study, one from Portugal (PT) and two from the United Kingdom (UK), with data collected through a questionnaire. The results point to a number of significant differences in relation to gender between the respondents from the two countries, and some consistent trends in gender differences across the whole sample and the sub-samples from the different countries. The key trends identified overall are that female students are significantly more likely to express positive attitudes towards energy saving, and to undertake energy-saving behaviours. Differences between the sub-samples are relatively small compared to the similarities between them, suggesting that gender differences are reasonably consistent across the two countries.

When I started my flooring business, I wanted an eye-catching logo that would be become instantly recognizable as well as unmistakable. Knowing all about the flooring business but absolutely nothing about graphic design or marketing, I contacted several graphic design firms about creating a logo for my new company and I told them what I had in mind. When I received the drafts and discovery proposals from Shane at RevMarketing2U.com, I instantly knew that they had the flair to create the logo that I envisioned. That logo we now proudly display on our vans, advertisements, and everything else has created an amazing increase in our revenues. Who would of ever thought something as simple as a logo could change our business. Revmarketing has helped our company be noticed.
A Big Thank you to www.RevMarketing2U.com

Usually, I dread firing up the ol' Noise Narcs inbox. It is amazing how many bands A) think we want to hear their remixes of Radiohead or their covers of my vote for most intolerable song of the year ("Bloodbuzz, Ohio") and B) seem to think we are a real blog.
But Adelaide, Australia's Our Husband gave me a Monday treat this morning. Finding the groove that Beach House and Sun Airway needle about in, they put down layered music that crawls its way to muted crescendos. "Villages" is their first single of a yet-to-be-completed album.

Agriculture, Water and Climate Change in Africa
In 2010, the EU launched the "Africa call" under the 7th Framework Programme (FP7) leading to the start of several research projects involving a range of African partner institutions. These and other EU-Africa projects cover a wide range of issues: climate, water and sanitation, water supply, agriculture, ecosystem services, water and health. This video with the title "Agriculture, Water and Climate Change in Africa" is intended to collate and present the experiences and insights from the on-going partnerships between European and African scientists and stakeholders. It also highlights trends that might be of relevance for the continuation of international research cooperation with Africa in the Horizon 2020 programme.
EU - Africa cooperation: The EU-FP7 projects presented in the documentary are listed below by theme:
Countries filmed: Ethiopia, Kenya and Tanzania (2013)

Water Harvesting in Sub-Saharan Africa - WHaTeR project (EU-FP7)
Video on WHT development and stakeholders' consultation
The WHaTeR project aims to contribute to the development of appropriate water harvesting techniques (WHTs) that are sustainable under dynamic global and regional pressure, and strengthen rainfed agriculture, improve rural livelihood and increase food production and security in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project (running period: 2011-2015) started with a situation analysis through revisits to water harvesting sites in 11 African countries studied previously by participating organisations. The next activities related to detailed research and technology development on cross-cutting themes (environmental sustainability; technology development; livelihood improvement; uptake and upscaling; and global and regional impact) in combination with with country-based activities in Burkina Faso, Ethiopia, South Africa and Tanzania. WHaTeR paid much attention also to stakeholder communication and outreaching activities through, among others, the organization of eight multi stakeholder workshops and the production of guidelines for WHTs. This video presents insights from the project's experience with WHT development and the stakeholders' consultation process.
