text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print Treatment for cirrhosis depends on the cause and extent of your liver damage. The goals of treatment are to slow the progression of scar tissue in the liver and to prevent or treat symptoms and complications of cirrhosis. You may need to be hospitalized if you have severe liver damage. Treatment for the underlying cause of cirrhosisIn early cirrhosis, it may be possible to minimize damage to the liver by treating the underlying cause. The options include: Treatment for alcohol dependency. People with cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse should stop drinking. If you have cirrhosis, it is essential to stop drinking since any amount of alcohol is toxic to the liver. If stopping alcohol use is difficult, your doctor may recommend a treatment program for alcohol addiction. Weight loss. People with cirrhosis caused by nonalcoholic fatty liver disease may become healthier if they lose weight and control their blood sugar levels. It is important to maintain adequate protein intake while attempting weight loss in the setting of cirrhosis. Medications to control hepatitis. Medications may limit further damage to liver cells caused by hepatitis B or C through specific treatment of these viruses. Medications to control other causes and symptoms of cirrhosis. Medications may slow the progression of certain types of liver cirrhosis. For example, for people with primary biliary cirrhosis (now known as primary biliary cholangitis) that is diagnosed early, medication may significantly delay progression to cirrhosis. Other medications can relieve certain symptoms, such as itching, fatigue and pain. Nutritional supplements may be prescribed to counter malnutrition associated with cirrhosis and to prevent weak bones (osteoporosis). Treatment for complications of cirrhosisYour doctor will work to treat any complications of cirrhosis, including: Excess fluid in your body. A low-sodium diet and medication to prevent fluid buildup in the body may help control ascites and swelling. More-severe fluid buildup may require procedures to drain the fluid or other interventions to relieve pressure. At times, a small tube — a transjugular intrahepatic portosystemic shunt (TIPS) — is placed in the vein within the liver to reduce blood pressure in your liver and slow the rate of fluid accumulation. Portal hypertension. Certain blood pressure medications may control increased pressure in the veins that supply the liver (portal hypertension) and prevent severe bleeding. Your doctor will perform an upper endoscopy at regular intervals to look for enlarged veins in the esophagus or stomach (varices) that may bleed. If you develop varices, you likely will need medication to reduce the risk of bleeding. If you are not able to tolerate medication and have signs that the varices are bleeding or are likely to bleed, you may need a procedure (band ligation) to stop the bleeding or reduce the risk of further bleeding. In severe cases, a TIPS can be placed in the vein within the liver to reduce blood pressure in your liver and to prevent further bleeding. Infections. You may receive antibiotics or other treatments for infections. Your doctor also is likely to recommend vaccinations for influenza, pneumonia and hepatitis. Increased liver cancer risk. Your doctor will recommend blood tests and ultrasound exams every six months to look for signs of liver cancer. Hepatic encephalopathy. You may be prescribed medications to help prevent the buildup of toxins in your blood due to poor liver function. Liver transplantationIn advanced cases of cirrhosis, when the liver ceases to function, a liver transplant may be the only treatment option. People usually need to consider this option when they develop symptoms from cirrhosis, such as jaundice, significant fluid retention (ascites), bleeding varices, hepatic encephalopathy, kidney dysfunction, or liver cancer. A liver transplant replaces your liver with a healthy liver from a deceased donor or with part of a liver from a living donor. Cirrhosis is the most common reason for a liver transplant. Candidates for liver transplant undergo extensive testing to determine whether they are healthy enough to have a good outcome following surgery. Additionally, transplant centers typically require some period of abstinence alcohol for people with alcohol-related liver disease before they can receive transplants. Potential future treatmentsScientists are working to expand current treatments for cirrhosis, but success has been limited. Because cirrhosis has numerous causes and complications, there are many potential avenues of approach. A combination of increased screening, lifestyle changes and new medications may improve outcomes for people with liver damage, if started early. It may be possible in the future to decrease or even reverse the fibrosis that leads to cirrhosis depending on the cause of fibrosis. Some people who received successful hepatitis C treatment or hepatitis B medications may have improvement in their fibrosis. Alternative medicineA number of alternative medicines have been used to treat liver diseases. Milk thistle (silymarin) is the most widely used and best studied. Other herbs used include licorice root (glycyrrhiza), schisandra and astragalus. However, there is not enough evidence of benefit from clinical trials to recommend the use of any herbal products to treat liver cirrhosis. In addition, herbal medications represent an increasing percentage of reported cases of drug-induced liver injury. Talk with your doctor if you're interested in trying alternative medicine to help you cope with cirrhosis.

Distracted Qantas pilots mucked up programming their Airbus A380 cockpit computers and only realised they did so as they hurtled down a Los Angeles airport runway, air safety investigators have found.
Interruptions to pre-flight procedures meant pilots had no readout of the target speeds they needed to reach in order to lift off — something the captain only noticed as the plane hit 100 knots (185km/h) accelerating along on the tarmac.
While one instrument gave them their instantaneous rolling speed, the pilots had to read from handwritten notes to recall the lift-off target speeds they had to reach, investigators said.
That pilots had handwritten notes as a back-up was "fortuitous", Fairfax Media has been told.
A chain of distractions involving changing wind strengths, a fuselage door malfunction and confusing runway lighting led to the slip-up, the air crew told investigators from the Australian Transport Safety Bureau.
An unfavourable tail wind caused a last-minute change of runway for departure from LA, bound for Melbourne on October 8 last year. That change required new take-off calculations.
As the captain was readying to change the data in the navigation computer, cabin crew called the cockpit to advise they had a problem arming one of the doors for take-off, which might require an aircraft engineer's attention to fix.
As a result of the interruption to sort out the door issue, the captain had not followed all the procedures to enter data for the change of runway before taxiing for the runway.
The first officer twice dismissed computer alerts about the plane's take-off data.
The first time he believed the take-off data would be checked, and the second time believed it had been checked.
"There were no other warnings in place to alert the crew that they were commencing the take-off without the take-off speeds in the aircraft's navigation systems," investigators said.
As the Airbus reached 100 knots down the runway, the pilots noticed there were no readings of take-off thrust, speed, or the status of the auto-thrust.
Pilots initially thought the lack of instrument readouts was due to an auto-thrust failure.
The first officer asked the captain whether take-off should continue, but the captain said the engines were on full thrust anyway, and there were no other warnings or alerts of serious problems.
The heavily-laden aircraft lifted off at 159 knots (294km/h), in line with the pilots' manual calculations.
The flight eventually landed in Melbourne without further incident.
"The captain reported that there were a number of distractions and interruptions from the time they were pushed back from the gate, until the take-off commenced," investigators said.
A Qantas spokesman said the incident "was a process error with no operational safety risk".
"The aircraft took off normally and safely. Both Airbus and Qantas have made changes to ensure that the process error cannot occur again."
Qantas contacted Airbus, which said it had just introduced revised software to warn pilots if they commence a take-off without take-off speeds entered in the flight computers.
That software patch has been retrofitted to all Qantas A380s.
Pilots' pre-flight procedures for runway changes have also been amended.

South Africans have high hopes
By Mike McAllister, PGATOUR.COM Managing Editor
AUGUSTA, Ga. -- The Official World Golf Ranking is top-heavy with European players, but Rory Sabbatini thinks the South Africans will make some noise this week at Augusta National.
In fact, they already have, with Retief Goosen starting his round with an eagle on the par-4 first hole. Goosen is now 4 under through five holes and tied for the early lead with England's Ross Fisher.
There are seven South Africans in the field this week -- Goosen, Sabbatini, Tim Clark, Ernie Els, Trevor Immelman, Louis Oosthuizen and Charl Schwartzel. Immelman, the 2008 Masters champ, is the last South African to win at Augusta National.
Fifty years ago, Gary Player won the first of his three Green Jackets. He and Immelman remain the country's only two Masters winners, although Els, Clark and Goosen each have produced second-place finishes since 2004.
Asked about his country's chances, Sabbatini replied: "Obviously I think it's strong as always. You got Ernie, Retief, Louis, Charl, obviously Tim's having trouble with his wrist, so he's a little unsure, but I think it's looking really good this year."
Oosthuizen ran away with the British Open last year at St. Andrews. Schwartzel won on the European Tour earlier this year and Sabbatini won The Honda Classic a month ago.
Those three seem to be the most in-form of the South Africans, but don't forget about Els. In 17 previous Masters starts, Els has six top-10 finishes and has twice finished second. The last time was 2004; since then, however, he has missed three cuts and not been in contention the other two times. This year, he has struggled with his putting.
"I would say you have to favor especially the longer hitters, so I think that me, Ernie, and Charl are the three longer South Africans," Sabbatini said. "I definitely think Charl with his mental aspect of the game is phenomenal and I see Louis just has a good all-around game.
"And we'll all know Ernie's record here, so it would be nice to see him come through and get himself a Green Jacket."
Oosthuizen's win last year at St. Andrews gave a nice jolt to South African golf. Sabbatini would love to see the major momentum continue for his country.
"I definitely think it was fantastic for South African golf," he said. "... There's waves that have come through and Charl and Louis seem to be that next wave."

Early summer is a good time to visit Europe. I was there for the first couple of weeks in July, before most of Europe disappears on vacation. I spent my time mainly with customers in Germany, Ireland and the UK. It's not the weather that makes it a good time to visit - while it was nice in Germany the Northern European summer has been a disappointment so far, although the two days I spent in Scotland were, I'm told, the first two rain-free days since April.
It was a good time because our customers were keen to get a mid-year update, especially since so few make the trip over to DAC nowadays. And we had plenty of interesting stuff to share. But the value for me is not really the communication of our latest stuff to our customers; it's more listening to what their changing needs are. More than I'd ever experienced before, the needs stem from the confluence of low-power and mixed-signal design challenges.
While much of the semiconductor industry globally seems preoccupied with digital design in advanced nodes like 28nm, and starting to think about 20nm and beyond, you can practically count the companies in Europe involved with such designs on the fingers of one hand. However, if I try to count the companies involved with mixed-signal designs, combined with the need to meet stringent power specifications, I fast run out of digits.
The European chip design scene is all about mixed-signal and low-power in a wide range of mobile, automotive, industrial and medical applications. While designs tend to be implemented in less advanced process nodes - in companies I visited many new designs are moving to the 65nm node and designs at 90nm, 130nm and even 180nm are still commonplace - the designs are every bit as challenging. The challenges are just different. In the pure digital world, unless you've been living under a rock for the past couple of decades, you probably know that CMOS process technology has been able to follow Moore's Law - the approximate doubling of transistor count every two years. Try doing that with RF devices, passives, power management components, MEMS, or in short, all of those components you need to interface with the (analog) real world. Fabs specializing in mixed-signal technologies have recently coined the phrase "More than Moore" to describe this challenge.
Power-wise, these mixed-signal designs are no less challenging. Medical devices and smart card applications in particular have pushed back the state-of-the-art in ultra-low-power design. Power specifications in the automotive world have become tighter and tighter as the rapidly-growing electronics content adds up to significant power demand, and power densities are strictly controlled to avoid temperature-related reliability issues in an already pretty hostile environment.
Depending on the application, and given the process nodes in use, most emphasis so far has been on reduction of dynamic power. Aggressive techniques including multi-supply voltages, and dynamic voltage and frequency scaling are commonplace. But with the move to 65nm and beyond, and especially if the application involves extended idle periods, controlling leakage is becoming more important and power gating is starting to be more widely deployed. While the complexity of power architectures may not seem to be as great as the latest mobile multimedia platform, nonetheless it's introducing multiple power domains and multiple power modes on top of the existing complexities of mixed signal design.
This is critical, especially since verification complexity increases exponentially with complexity of the power architecture, and mixed-signal verification is already considerably more challenging than digital verification. Why? Continuous waveforms simulate slower than discrete, and techniques from the digital world like formal verification and hardware acceleration are almost impossible to apply, if the conventional mixed-signal verification methodology continues.
So, many customers were interested in recent developments at Cadence that bring our mixed-signal and low-power solutions closer together. This inlcudes capabilities like power-aware mixed signal simulation with real number modeling (i.e. wreal). Here, signals crossing the analog and digital domains are not just modeled abstractly for speed, but electrical-to-logical and logical-to-electrical conversion is power-aware, meaning all the logic states and their equivalent voltages are derived automatically from the Common Power Format (CPF) file. Also important is the ability to generate CPF from the analog circuitry in the Virtuoso schematic view, which makes a block that would be functionally a "black box" in digital formal verification tools like Conformal Low Power, look like a "white box" from the power intent point of view, enabling rigorous chip-level functional and structural checks of the integrated design's power intent. Mixed-signal and low-power design challenges seem daunting enough individually, but we're really starting to see what happens when they coincide. And hopefully, we're doing something useful about it.

Cardio: Work Harder, Not Longer from the YMCA
Plodding away for hours on the treadmill is not the best way to burn calories. Instead, you can speed up your metabolism and shorten your workout with high intensity interval training, also known as HIIT.
Look at the benefits: Twenty minutes of high-intensity aerobic exercise can boost your VO2 max as well as burn more calories, raise your metabolism and preserve your muscle tissue, all at the same time. On the other hand, too many long, slow cardio sessions may actually have a negative effect on your physique because the body breaks down muscle for energy.
The key to HIIT is to do it right and use it sparingly–no more than twice per week. Continue with longer sessions as well, alternating between steady-state cardio and shorter interval-training sessions. You can apply the guidelines in the chart below to any aerobic activity you please. In fact, changing your mode of exercise every time you do cardio could provide you better results.
Intervals can be done in different ways, so don't feel like you have to limit yourself to the machines at the gym. Run laps at a local track, go for a bike ride or grab a jump rope! Not only will intervals allow you to train harder and burn more calories, but you'll also challenge yourself and ditch the boredom of yet another session of steady-state cardio training.

While the proposal is generally viewed as a score for Mexicans, who labor in American fields and food houses – and a blow to those seeking harsher penalties for illegal immigrants in the US – it is not entirely embraced from south of the border.
"From this side, I worry that yet again it will encourage Mexicans to try to make it to the US illegally, that they'll think it will be easy to make a life there," says Cortes. "But the conditions on the border aren't going to change." Cortes says she's seen great progress in rural Mexican communities in recent years as migrant workers illegally in the US returned home, injecting their communities with new skills and expertise.

Blackshirt, alot of these people scout out territory far from where they live. When you see strangers on bicycles or skateboards cruising the neighborhood at least make eye contact so they know they have been noticed. They may not come back later but go to find easier pickings. We had a rash of people going door to door panhandling and the real old people were afraid not to give them a few dollars (one exposed himself to an 80 year old woman). Any valuable items always dissappear from your porch and all the outside water taps and irrigation are plastic now because the brass ones are gone. We would wake up in the morning to a flood of water from the valves being gone. It's better now since everyone is watching and us more capable old guys keep an eye on things.

There aren't enough adjectives to describe all of the amazing, astounding, unbelievable and breath-taking moments during the nine days of fundraising to support public radio that added up to an off-the-charts amount of $358,125 – exceeding our goal by over $25K and topping last year's record by more than $50K – befitting KUAC's 50th anniversary.
If we could thank every single donor, corporate supporter, community organizations, individual volunteers, and staff members who made this such a success, the list would scroll on for pages. Over 1900 gifts were made to KUAC, including 286 new donors, which is something to celebrate! The average gift amount was $187.
Our biggest fundraising hour was, once again, due to the Alaska Live "challenge" put forth by Jack Wilbur, president of Design Alaska, joined this year by Bert Bell, president of GHEMM Company on Wednesday, October 17th. It didn't seem possible that the annual Alaska Live fundraising night could top last year, but with the combined efforts of Jack and his cousin Bert, KUAC received over $27,000 in support from the community. Add to that, the Design Alaska and GHEMM Company match, that hour brought in more than $41,000 in support for KUAC.
Thank you, Jack and Bert and your phone bank team, and thanks to the Lost Lakers, Tim and Karen Foote, Alex Clark, and George Gianakopoulos.
Other successful "challenges" which helped donors to leverage their gifts and inspired others to give: Jana Varatti and Sue Steinacher and Glen Pardy in Nome sponsored "Translator Community" and new Nome donor challenges; Ann Millard, from Eagle, put out a call to all Libras; Nicole Stewart from Sourdough Fuel rallied a large number of Sourdough customers; Ann Cunningham encouraged engineers from Local 302 to donate.
Other inspiring challenges were by Ken Kokjer for Gallery 49; and Nadia Bacon's new ABS challenge – "Art Buswell Society" donors are those who become sustainable donors at the $1,000 a year level, in honor of one of KUAC's founders. We sound a gong (borrowed from UAF Music department) for these momentous gifts, and this year we rejoiced to hear a lot of gongs!
UAF Osher Life Long Learning director Sarah Garland turned 50 and challenged all others turning 50 this year to pledge. Others put out challenges to celebrate milestones, too, including Jed Reagle who recognized and challenged Ski Patrol members while Ellen Whitcher put forth a challenge in honor of Ski-Land's 50th.
A good number of individuals advanced challenges, including Michelle Bartlett, Paul Reichardt, Christopher Quist, and Michele Hebert. Other creative challenges included Ron and Margy Illingworth with a Peony Growers Association; Craig Van Amburg with the IBEW Challenge; Tom George with the Pilot and Aircraft Owners Association; and an anonymous School of Fisheries and Ocean Sciences donor who quintupled an amount over $175 (with the help of Phil from the 168th, we pulled $500 out of a hat as the amount!). Plus the annual tradition of Grace Schaible's epic Opera challenge added a generous $13,000 match because we met all of our goals during Opera on the last Sunday, bringing in a marvelous $18,605.
Many people came into the station last week – over 400 to volunteer, and countless others to make pledges in person. We met the winners of the first A Prairie Home Companion trip giveaway – Toni and Erin Talbott – and the winners of the bonus SECOND trip giveaway will be drawn soon. The winners of The Cole Brothers "trip-of-a-lifetime" to tour the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner and City Hall are also to-be-announced. The winners of a message on their home answering machine by Folk Sampler's Mike Flynn are Cathy Curby, Pete and Peg Bowers, and Jon and Marian Lundquist. Congratulations!
Over 30 strong corporate partners offered challenges that were successfully met, including Dr. Daniel Johnson, Fairbanks Sand & Gravel, First National Bank Alaska, Crisenberry Engineering, Sourdough, Water Wagon, Design Alaska and Ghemm Company, Pogo/Sumitomo and Fort Knox Mines, to name a few.
Our University community joined in with phone bank volunteers and on-air talent from numerous departments and campus organizations, including UAF Athletics, University Fire Department, UA Museum, the Geophysical Institute, Cooperative Extensions, SNAP & ACCAP, IARC, School of Management, Osher Lifelong Learning Institute, Summer Sessions, Alumni Association, Distance Education and eLearning, Marketing, UAF Street Crew, Cold Climate Housing Research Center, Legal Services, and the division of Student Services.
We saw a regular parade of folks – including performers from Red Hackle Pipe Band, Fairbanks Youth Orchestra, plus assistance from a range of businesses and services, government and military agencies, election and religious organizations, including Downtown Rotary, College Rotary, Sunrisers Rotary, Golden Heart Rotary, and North Pole Rotary, Fairbanks Resources Agency, Northrim Bank, Resource Center for Parents and Children, the Unitarian Universalist Fellowship of Fairbanks, Fairbanks Adult Learning Program of Alaska, ASEA Local 490, Fairbanks Youth Orchestra, Children's Museum, Co-op Market, Yukon Quest, the Rollergirls, Bettisworth North, Information Insights, Ester Fire Department, Peace Corps, Calypso Farms, Arctic Winter Games 2014, 168th Air Refueling Wing, North Star Imagination Library, I.A. Green Star, FMATs and the Downtown Association, Desperate Househusbands, and our own Community Advisory Council.
Hard to imagine all of this fun? See the Facebook photos from fundraiser week!
We extend heartfelt thanks to these businesses and organizations which made this fundraising drive extra-special and energized with food and drink donations: Airport Way Safeway, Alaska Coffee Roasting Company, Fairbanks Bottled Water Company, Fred Meyer West, l'assiette de Pomegranate, LuLu's Bread and Bagels, Odom Corporation, Sourdough Fuel & Food Marts, River City Café & Espresso, Pike's Landing, The Cookie Jar Restaurant, UAF Dining/Catering Services, and Wolf Run Restaurant. And a special thanks goes to Wayne Clark and Graphic North for last minute directional sign printing and to Arista Hageman of University of Alaska Foundation for our new online giving pages.
If you had one word to describe the KUAC 2012 FM Fall Fundraiser, what would it be? Whatever your word is, know that we will always remember it as UNFORGETTABLE because of our listeners! You make all things possible when you support YOUR public radio station, KUAC FM and KUAC HD!

[20 August 2014]
The lone mainstream splash of Katrina and the Waves remains "Walking on Sunshine", but frontwoman Katrina Leskanich hasn't let that lightning in a bottle success become a yoke to her career as a musician. As attested by Blisland, her latest album, Katrina is a songwriter with a storehouse of energy for what she does. Blisland's classic rock flourishes, particularly in its ripping guitar solos, create a vivacious environment. Numbers like "Dizzy" bring to mind Mary Chapin Carpenter at her most effervescent.
Katrina tells PopMatters about the album, "I didn't think I'd ever make another album ten years after my first solo album, and with the advent of my first tour of North America since 1989 with Retro Futura, I decided to write and record Blisland in a month which was all the time I had before the tour started. It ended up being the most pleasurable writing and recording experience I've ever had. I love being able to express myself and my own personal taste in music which was very much influenced by the music I listened to in my formative years and my parents records."
Stream the album below:

PORT CHARLOTTE — The reason RHP Wade Davis was chosen for the No. 3 spot in the pitching rotation and RHP Jeff Niemann slotted fourth turned out to be as clear as night and day.
Niemann has a much worse record in day games than at night (5-5, 5.54 ERA vs. 22-11, 3.84) and with the pitcher in the No. 3 spot in line to start seven matinees in the first two months, the Rays opted to go with Davis, who has a much less dramatic split: 3-4, 3.95 in day games, 11-8, 4.04 at night.
Niemann said he had no explanation for the discrepancy and no issues with the Rays decision to make him No. 4.
"Around here, I think that's just a number," he said. "We've got any one of five guys that can run out there any night and win a ballgame. We've talked about it, that it was a matchup thing with the day games and all that. Whatever's best for the team, I'm more than willing to oblige."
Davis said he welcomed the opportunity. "Niemann's a great pitcher; he could easily be No. 1 in any rotation," he said. "I don't know that it had anything to do with performance or anything like that. I think it's just how it played out, and I'm happy where I'm at."
CRUZ CONTROL: RHP Juan Cruz closed out Friday's 7-3 win over the Red Sox for his sixth scoreless appearance, and feeling good, and that combination appears to be enough to earn one of three open bullpen jobs.
"He's doing really well right now," manager Joe Maddon said. "He just needs to stay healthy and I think everything's going to work out pretty good for him."
Cruz had surgery to clean out his right shoulder in May, cutting short his season in Kansas City, but has recovered enough that the Rays don't appear to have restrictions or concerns about using him, though he has yet to pitch with less than two days rest between appearances.
"Actually he wants more work," Maddon said. "We've been holding him back a bit."
"All I can say is I'm ready," Cruz said. "Everything, I think, is good."
PITCHING IN: No. 2 starter RHP James Shields worked 51/3 innings a minor-league game in Fort Myers rather than face the Red Sox varsity, allowing three runs on eight hits, a walk and a hit batter and striking out seven. … Though the Rays have kept starters from facing AL East opponents, RHP Jeremy Hellickson will go against the Yankees Monday so he can get some innings vs. big-league hitters.
N.Y. STATE OF MIND: Add the New York Post's Joel Sherman to those publicly pondering the idea of principal owner Stuart Sternberg buying the Mets and the Rays being contracted. Sherman wrote that he floated his "theory" by a "person involved in baseball labor" and was told it had been discussed, but it would "be difficult" to enact because folding two teams would cause a war with the players union during the upcoming negotiations.
GAME DETAILS: The Rays (9-10-1) hit four home runs off Sox knuckleballer Tim Wakefield, somewhat regular shots by Ben Zobrist, Kelly Shoppach and Evan Longoria and a massive blast by Manny Ramirez that went over the berm and the walkway beyond the leftfield fence. "That," on-deck hitter Matt Joyce said, "was sick." … RHP Joel Peralta may have had the most impressive accomplishment, though, beating ex-Ray Carl Crawford to the base for an infield out. … Crawford made a diving catch to end the sixth. … Elliot Johnson stole his seventh base of the spring, and Shoppach stole what he said was his first ever in a big-league uniform. … RHP Andy Sonnanstine was generally pleased with his 81-pitch, 41/3-inning start despite four walks (including Crawford with the bases loaded), saying it was "a big step" in throwing quality changeups.
MISCELLANY: Zobrist got his second spring start at 1B, with plans for more to increase his comfort factor in advance of regular-season duty. … Friday's game drew 7,740, the second sellout of the spring (both vs. Boston).

- While being a newcomer to the Ben 10 videogames; which are based off the popular Cartoon Network TV show, you could see signs of a solid title early on in the development of Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction. From the action to the character animations, developer Papaya Studios was looking to ensure that the universe of Ben 10 was presented faithfully and packed the right mix of action and adventure that has made the TV show a hit. While many may look upon the videogame adaptations in a different light than the source material, it's safe to say that Papaya Studios and D3Publisher have stepped up to the plate and created an experience that is truly worthy of the Ben 10 name. Now how well does the game play…
For those not familiar with the Ben 10 TV show or past videogames, it's all about a boy named Ben Tennyson who finds an alien pod. Upon examining the pod, he discovers a mysterious, watch-like device called the Omnitrix. The device see's Ben as "the one" and affixes itself to his wrist permanently, which gives him the ability to transform into a variety of alien life-forms, each possessing its own unique abilities. With these new abilities at his disposal, Ben partners with his cousin Gwen and Grandpa Max to embark on an epic journey to fight off evil, both extraterrestrial and earthly. Fast-forward a few years and Ben is now 16 years old and his trusty Omnitrix has been destroyed, which has forced him to master a new, more power device known as the Ultimatrix. This new gauntlet-like device allows Ben access to all his power and abilities from the Omnitrix, but also the ability to evolve his alien forms into stronger and more powerful versions (ultimate forms).
Now that you are caught up on the history of the Ben 10 TV show, the story within Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction begins with Ben having trouble working his Ultimatrix at the same time his partners Gwen and Kevin are fighting the Forever Knights. Ben is soon contacted by Jimmy Jones who informs him that a massive cosmic storm is on the outskirts of the galaxy, which is making its way towards Earth. Ben and his friends soon stumble upon some information that may have the earth from total destruction. It seems that a hidden artifact, which was placed on earth by Azimuth and his Galvan people many centuries ago, is the key to stopping the oncoming cosmic storm that threatens the Earth. The artifact was broken into several pieces and was scatter across the globe, which forces Ben, Gwen and Kevin to start on an epic journey in order to piece the artifact back together and save Earth.
Ben Tennyson, the boy of action, has the ability to transform into 17 distinct alien forms taken directly from the Ben 10: Ultimate Alien TV show, five of which are "ultimate" versions of popular characters. Some of his transformations include Armodrillo, WaterHazard, AmpFibian, Teraspin and NRG. Depending on whether you have an Xbox 360, PS3 or both, Papaya Studios threw in some exclusive characters, which will definitely appeal to the hardcore Ben 10 fans. For those who pick up the Xbox 360 version of the game, you will gain access to Rath, while PS3 console owners will be able to access Four Arms.
Each mission you embark on will give you access to ten alien forms, of which you choose four to take into battle. Playing as Ben, you will have the option to choose whichever four alien forms you want, or simply go with the recommendations that the game gives you. For the most part, the team the game recommends will come through each and every time, however having the ability to build your own super team is a nice touch for players to create their own experience. Each and every alien form has its own appearance, voice and special attacks which keeps the action interesting. The reason behind the game recommending a team for you to take into each mission is because there are levels that will require certain alien forms. For example, Humungousaur is a strong character that's able to move objects and turn massive mechanical cranks. If you are on a level where he's needed and he's not in your roster of transformations, certain areas won't be accessible. A nice touch added to the game is being able to switch alien forms on the fly, which can and will keep the battle sequences interesting, while also saving your hide if you get stuck in a sticky situation. You are able to make the alien forms to a direction on the D-pad, allowing you to switch from NRG and Armodrillo on the fly.
Each and every alien form has four special moves as well as three attributes: Strength, Speed and Defense. The attribute determine their effectiveness in battle, however that's to the upgrade system, a once thought of inferior alien form, can prove to be very valuable in the long run. You are able to able to upgrade your alien form's abilities and attributes at any time during the game. There's an added option to automatically upgrade your alien forms for those who don't want to deal with that sort of thing. There are also key scripted points within the game where five of your alien forms will be able to transform into their "ultimate" form, allowing you to lay waste to hordes of enemies or one big bad boss. While the scripted points in the game are fun to experience, it would have been cool at any point within the game, to be able to make said transformation.
In order to purchase upgrades, you must collect the in-game current, which is DNA. Just like any game, the more upgrades your purchase the more experience things get. Thankfully, the long you play the game, the more currency you acquire. Papaya Studios wanted to make sure that the experience wouldn't be hampered to the point where the game becomes more of a challenge to complete simply because you are not able to upgrade your characters as you would like. You acquire DNA from defeating enemies and from smashing open breakable objects. With the breakable objects, you don't have to be in one of your four alien forms in order to collect health and DNA. However, there are exceptions to the rules like when you have to break through a wall, that you will definitely need some muscle behind your swing.
From a visual standpoint, Cosmic Destruction is a solid looking game. The environments and character models are nicely detailed, through they can be a tad rough around the edges. Seeing how Ben and his friends are traveling the world in order to gather the various fragments of the artifact, Papaya Studios made sure to make each and every location from France to China were created to look like their realistic counterparts. There were a few signs of an inconsistent framerate for the game; however it was nothing that would put a damper on the overall experience. In regards to the audio within Cosmic Destruction, Papaya Studios stuck to the source material which has made the TV show a hit. The voiceover work is on par with the TV show, including those cheesy one-liners you tend to hear a lot in these types of games. The musical score is also very solid, though the tracks seems rather short as you will hear the music loop several times if on the level long enough.
Beyond replaying the single-player campaign, there's nothing to keep you hooked within this title. Depending on how you play the game, you can expect to finish this title in around 6-8 hours. Trophy/achievement enthusiast will play through the game twice to make sure to do everything possible to unlock all the awards for the game. However, once you playthrough the game once, there really isn't no reason to go back for more… unless you are a diehard Ben 10 fan.
Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction is a straight-forward, action adventure title that you can enjoy from beginning to end. The game does have a few hiccups which affect the overall experience; however none of them would keep you from actually finishing the game. The lack of some form of multiplayer does indeed hurt this game as we are in a generation where gamers are looking for that added something once they have finished the single-player campaign. While I wasn't the target age for this title, I still found enjoyment in the experience and look forward to future Ben 10 titles. For those who haven't picked up this game and are looking a solid action adventure title, look no further than Ben 10: Ultimate Alien: Cosmic Destruction.

sample the album:
"One of the beautiful opportunities of today's extremely wide spectrum in jazz is interculturality.
In communication between different cultures lies the creative potential that New York based German-French double bassist and composer Pascal Niggenkemper fully exploits with his new international ensemble Vision 7 founded in 2011 in cooperation with the Jazzdor Festival Strasbourg-Berlin.
Dialogues, precisely the dialogue between the seven musicians, the composed and improvised music, the different personalities, styles, cultural identities, concepts and finally the dialogue of the musicians with the listener are the heart of the ensemble's debut album Lucky Prime.
Only the listener can give the story a sense. The opening lyrics of "Carnet plein d'histoires" says: "This is the story of the stories. To you this story might seem absurd, but it makes sense. Or does it not? Please, decide yourself!" The septet takes the listener on a very personal and associative journey, ranging from moments of intimate chamber music, improvised atonal sound installations and trough composed sections to unleashed improvisations.
Maximal freedom is given to the musicians and the listener although without leaving both in the randomness. "Almost everything is allowed," the CD liner notes say, at the same time everything follows a sort of "meta-structure" that embraces the album, yet without constricting it. It is only at the end of the album that the story comes to its end, that things come full circle.
With Lucky Prime, Pascal Niggenkemper, Eve Risser, Christian Lillinger, Emilie Lesbros, Frantz Loriot, Els Vandeweyer and Frank Gratkowski present a passionate and exiting debut album.
The number 7, prime number called Lucky Prime, title of this album, reflects the happiness and joy of seven musicians making music together. From France living in Paris, pianist Eve Risser (Donkey Monkey, En Corps, Risser-Rühl, Orchestre National de Jazz) and vocalist Emilie Lesbros (Barre Phillips, Lionel Garcin, single room, Speaking Tube), also from France but living in Zurich, french violist Frantz Loriot (natura morta, Viola2Viola, baloni, Anthony Braxton, Joelle Leandre), from Germany drummer Christian Lillinger, (Hyperactive Kid, GRUND, John Tchicai, Joachim Kühn, Rudi Mahall) and saxophonist et clarinettist Frank Gratkowski (Georg Graewe, Tony Oxley, Wolter Wierbos, Gerry Hemingway) both living in Berlin. From Belgium, vibraphonist Els Vandeweyer living in Berlin ("Quat" with Fred Van Hove, Paul Lovens and Martin Blume, "Ginkgo"),
French-German bassist Pascal Niggenkemper, leader of this group, is based in New York (upcoming hurricane, PNTrio, baloni, PascAli, Gerald Cleaver's Black Host)."-Clean Feed

With friends like these?
If you were trying to help Sen. Barack Obama win Florida, honey might be better than vinegar. Yet in a string of tart emails he traded with DNC wag Jon Ausman, Obama's top Florida money-man isn't too sweet with Sen. Bill Nelson, Florida Dem chief Leonard Joseph and other establishment types.
And all this happens on the eve of Florida Democrat's big fundraiser in South Florida, the Jefferson-Jackson dinner, an event intended to mend bridges and infuse unity.
The spat is over how some Florida delegates will be tapped for the Democratic National Convention in Denver. The players are Kirk Wagar, head of Obama's Florida finance team, and rabble-rouser and Jon Ausman who had endorsed Hillary Clinton. Let's listen in!
--Wes Allison & Jennifer Liberto, Times Staff Writers
From: "Kirk Wagar"
Date: Fri, 13 Jun 2008 00:40:53
To:"Kirk W.B. Wagar"
Subject: Jon Ausman's email
Friends and fellow Democrats
I don't know if you have received Florida DNC member Jon Ausman's email about me yet but I assume you will. He has chosen to subject folks to out of context snippets from some ongoing and sometimes heated arguments we have had over the course of this campaign. I apologize for the profanity that you were subjected too. it is a vice of mine that I try to minimize but seems to rear it's head with more frequency when I deal with Jon.
On the eve of a Florida Democratic Party fundraiser intended to infuse unity and heal wounds, e-mails have been floating around accusing high-ranking party members of back-stabbing when it comes to the delegate debacle.
I have been told over the years that I should ignore Jon and never engage with him, even when I agree with him, because in the end, it is all about Jon. That seems to be the case. I will not go chapter and verse through the substance of his email but I will provide my context for anything that I think might be misconstrued.
Number 1, when I was referring to making a difficult situation worse, I was specifically talking about the fact that we asked that at the very least, the PLEO and AT Large Delegates not be selected until after the DNC Rules and By Laws Committee ruled. I asked both Leonard Joseph and Senator Nelson's office to support waiting and they made a decision to go forward for tactical reasons. I disagreed with it but they were perfectly entitled to make that decision and I don't fault them for it. I don't think it is debatable that it made the delegate situation harder to deal with after the fact given that the Obama campaign did not participate in the elections, but it is not like anyone died. It was and is simply a situation that has to be dealt with. Both Leonard and Senator Nelson's office know that I wanted a different outcome and I did not malign them in private nor in the excerpts Jon blasted out. I have worked with Leonard for years, long before he came to Florida, and I have worked very hard for and with Senator Nelson. On this issue we disagreed and despite Jon's effort to twist it into something more, it isn't.
Number 2, I fundamentally believe that the Obama campaign should be able to send the delegates that most deserve it to the convention and because that the campaign did not participate in the process and strike anyone, people who knew the system were able to get a slate passed of people that were important to them and their local politics. There is nothing untoward about those individuals putting forth a slate in the absence of the Obama campaign participating. I do not think it is appropriate that that slate stands unchallenged now that the DNC RBC has ruled on Jon's appeal, but that is MY opinion, not of the campaign. I have great respect for both Dianne Glasser and Bret Berlin and consider Bret a good friend. I would have done exactly what they did. My point has always been that I personally don't think that it should be binding on a campaign that did not participate and now that there is an opportunity to at least try to fix the situation, we should.
Number 3, I have no idea what he is talking about with regards to Gerry McEntee because I would have never in a million years thought he would be having conversations with Jon Ausman.
For the past 2 weeks, I have poured over the lists of Obama delegates, tried to find every avenue to have everyone who should be a delegate either be one or get similar credentials, talked to numerous party leaders to try to find a way to make sure everyone or almost everyone would end this final process of the primary pleased and united. At every turn Jon Ausman demanded his pound of flesh. The mistake I made, in addition to language that I am extremely embarrassed about circulating to good Democrats around the state, was trying to rationally discuss alternatives with Jon. This was about Jon's ego and his view that control over party rules was his only power.
I am sorry you were brought into this. I am sorry that I used unprofessional language with Jon, despite it being a two way street in the back and forth, but most importantly, I am sorry that we cannot do anything in a simple and succinct manner so we can win this state in November for Barack Obama.
I have no idea who Jon sent this to so if someone forwards you something with a "What the heck is this" email, please feel free to forward my response.

Subject: Fw: I hear you are saying that I have treated you badly!?!?!?
Dear Mr. Wagar:
This evening I received an email from you (which is provided in its entirety below) in which you are surprised and hurt that some of the notes I received from you are painful. I have never told a single person you have mistreated me.
When I filed the appeals before the Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee I was trying to begin the healing process so Florida Democrats could unite and more forward together.
However, Mr. Wager, as the Obama Florida Finance Chair you represent the campaign. When you make disparging remarks about others to me, issue threats or insult me directly some might call that mistreatment.
As an ambassador for Senator Obama I would hope you would be more temperate, more inclusionary, more embracing of others, more unifying.
We are at a point in time when we need to heal and come together. Help me understand how these messages, which you have sent to me in writing, help Senator Obama's campaign. I only am sending you some of the more recent messages you have sent me.
You (Jon Ausman) f---ed us. We are dealing with it. You need to accept the fact that you f---ed us.
Kirk Wagar, 6 June 2008, 4:40 PM
The process is just beginning and we are trying to amass credentials so no one gets f---ed….People (already selected as delegates) who simply want a free trip to Denver are not my concern.
Kirk Wager, 6 June 2008 at 7:17 PM
Let me be as clear as a bell, as of right now you (Jon Ausman) have made a difficult situation worse. We have been put in a bad situation by Leonard (Joseph) and (Senator) Nelson and you have just thrown your lot in with them.
Kirk Wager, 6 June 2008 at 8:14 AM
If 30 people (after we purge them) are all that are pissed off…we have done pretty well.
Kirk Wager, 6 June 2008 at 7:17 PM
…you (Jon Ausman) really convinced yourself that you are doing anything other than fighting for political backroom deals?
Kirk Wagar, 12 June 2008, 7:27 PM
That would suck. Tell him (AFSCME International President Gerald McEntee) we will remember.
Kirk Wager, 3 June 2008, 9:45 AM
I am getting very sick of (Senator) Nelson making a bad situation worse.
Kirk Wager, 1 May 2008, 4:33 PM
So you are comfortable with the 4 people, for example, that Dianne (Glasser) negotiated on (Bret) Berlin's slate that have done nothing for Barack and no one in Broward knows? Come on!!!
Kirk Wager, 6 June 2008, 8:14 AM
It would be my suggestion the Obama Florida Finance Chair publicly apologize to Senator Bill Nelson, AFSCME International President Gerald McEntee, Florida Democratic Party First Vice-Chair Diane Glasser and Florida Democratic Party Executive Director Leonard Joseph.
Rather then criticizing others in a most negative way it might be more helpful for Senator Obama if you praise those who can make a contribution to the effort to defeat Bush's candidate to carry on his failed policies. Praise, oddly enough, often encourages people to work harder.
If you have any questions, please either call me at 850-xxx-xxxx or write me at email@example.com
With respect, I am,
Jon M. Ausman, Member
Democratic National Committee

Lands End Hill Climb moved to accommodate Pikes Peak
Blame the devastating wildfires across the state earlier this summer for the absence of auto racing this weekend on Grand Mesa.
The Lands End Hill Climb originally was scheduled for this weekend, but it recently was rescheduled to the end of September to accommodate the Pikes Peak International Hill Climb, which had to be moved because of the Waldo Canyon Fire.
The Lands End Hill Climb will take place Sept. 29–30 because that weekend is available for the most drivers, race director Brenda Barton said.
The Pikes Peak Hill Climb took place last weekend, but Barton said the drivers wanted at least a weekend off in between races.
Pikes Peak originally was scheduled for July 8.
The Lands End Hill climb will be the fifth of five races on the Colorado Hill Climb Association (CHCA) schedule for 2012.
Two races take place at the Pueblo Motorsports Park. It is a desert race instead of a hill climb race.
The other two races take place at Temple Canyon, near Cañon City, and Monarch.
The CHCA previously held races at Buffalo Peaks near Buena Vista, but with firebans and population growth on the mountain, it has been canceled.
Pikes Peak was formerly a race on the CHCA series, but it has become a separate international event. Unlike the CHCA races on gravel, the Pikes Peak Hill Climb takes place on pavement.
There were 50 drivers at Temple Canyon and 37 at Monarch.
Barton said the numbers are up from last year, but they have dwindled from a few years ago.
Drivers can register for the Lands End Hill Climb up to a week before the race.
Drivers pay a $175 entry fee and a $200 surcharge for a road fee. The CHCA pays the U.S. Forest Service $7,000 to hold the race.
The public can watch the race at designated vantage points along the course. Tickets are $10 per person for both days in advance. They are $12 per person for both days at the gate. Children 12 and under get in free. Ticket outlets will be announced at a later date, Barton said.
Classifications include open wheel, super sprint, champ, sportsman, competition truck, stock car, quads and juniors.

What else should I be doing?
Your location is a big deterrent. It sounds like a local neighborhood. Strangers will be noticed. If someone doesn't "fit" the area, they'll be remembered.
Be alert. Make eye contact with everyone as soon as they enter the store. That tells them, "I see you." Greet them, ask if you can help. Be a "presence". The dog is good. Many people are afraid of large dogs, especially if they bark.
Put an "alarm" sign in the window and a red button in a prominent place. Makes the crook think the place is wired with a panic button.
When I worked "loss prevention" for a large retail chain, we found the greatest deterrent to shoplifting was sales people all around and noticing the customers. Today, I could walk into Wal-Mart and steal them blind. There is no one on the floor. You have to send up smoke signals to get a clerk. Yea, lots of cameras, but they can't monitor them all and they can't see everywhere.
As a last resort, carry a piece, either in plain sight on your person (best place) or just under the cash drawer. Make no secret of it. Crook walks in, sees that you're packing, and walks right back out.
And speaking of that, beware of someone who comes in, looks around the store, and leaves, then comes back a little later (maybe once or twice) without buying anything. A shoplifter I caught at the hobby shop had been in twice that same day, lazily roaming and noticing EVERYTHING. Yea, I know a lot of legitimate customers do that, too, but being alert will scare off the one bad apple. There will be something about the way they act that will make your neck hairs stand up. Most of the people we caught at the retail chain were recognized as having been in several times recently.
Install a couple of dummy cameras. Crooks don't like to be on video.
I hope some of this helps.

comment:1 follow-up: ↓ 2 Changed 7 years ago by bill
A Deferred represents a single (future) value, so (IIUC) it's not possible to pass a second parameter to then()'s callback function. Of course the Deferred's value could be an array like [result, ioArgs], but that would break backwards compatibility.
Does ioArgs have information besides what the app passed into dojo.xhrGet() in the first place?

Yes, I would like to access the ioArgs.xhr object

Especially if you would like to pass back a custom (json) error message in the http body, then you would need access ioArgs.xhr.responseText

I see that this ticket is closed, but I am getting the same issue with Dojo 1.7.1. Is this still an open issue in 1.7.1? If not, what could I be missing?
var workItemDef = xhr.get( {

I don't see how [25095] is related to this ticket at all. Kris' comment though is talking about the error callback (when the XHR fails), not the success callback. As I said above the success callback only gets one argument, so it's just a question of what that argument is. I think Bryan's work on dojo/request will handle this.

The requested functionality is already provided, albeit in a different place. If you use the return value from dojo/_base/xhr, it will have an ioArgs property on it. This is the same as the second argument to load and error:
var def = xhr.get({ url: "foo" }); def.then(function(text){ console.log("Printing the data object", def.ioArgs); });
Remember, however, that the return value of a chained then call will not be a deferred, but a promise. This means that the following will not work because of how Deferreds/Promises work:
var def = xhr.get({ url: "foo" }).then(function(text){ console.log("Printing the data object", def.ioArgs); });
def ends up being a promise because the Deferred from xhr.get has been chained off of.
