PARIS, TX - Two Paris men have been arrested for Sunday's arson fires.
29-year old Jonathan Dunken and 28-year old Dion Wymore are charged with two counts of arson, burglary of a building and theft of property.
Investigators determined a van was stolen from ABC Learning Center, then used to burglarize Fraizer Metal Works over the weekend. Authorities say the two men stole tools and used acetone and paint thinner to start the fire.
Fire Marshal Dale Maberry says investigators were able to connect the men from a fire earlier this month.
"Once we determined the van had been stolen, it was in the area of a suspect of a previous fire last month." said Maberry. "From that we went to the scene and we found it out it was a burglary, we felt like they were connected."
Dunken bonded out this afternoon and Wymore is still being held on $31,500 worth of bonds.

Players snubbed from a well-earned starting spot in Major League Baseball's All-Star game are nothing new, but some players have been robbed more than others in their career.
On the next few pages we will take a look at 20 players that had at least 50 career Wins Above Replacement (WAR) during the All-Star era (1933-present) and were never elected to start an All-Star game (for position players) or chosen as a starting pitcher by the squad's manager.
These players, which includes three Hall of Famers would make for a pretty good All-Star team in their own right.
#20 Johan Santana
Teams: Twins, Mets
Position: Starting pitcher
Seasons: 12
Career Wins Above Replacement (WAR): 50.7
All-Star Reserve: 4 times
Key stats: 2-time Cy Young Award winner
#19 Orel Hershiser
Teams: Dodgers, Indians, Mets, Giants
Position: Starting pitcher
Seasons: 18
Career Wins Above Replacement (WAR): 51.7
All-Star Reserve: 3 times
Key stats: Four times finished in the top-4 in Cy Young voting including one win in 1988 when he went 23-8 with a 2.26 ERA. In 1985 he went 19-3 with a 2.03 ERA.
#18 Mariano Rivera
Teams: Yankees
Position: Relief pitcher
Seasons: 19
Career Wins Above Replacement (WAR): 55.4
All-Star Reserve: 12
Key stats: Unfortunately for Mo Rivera there is no "starting" closer. Four times he has finished in the top-3 in Cy Young voting.

In the clip, which can also be viewed at BDTV, the cast and crew can take a deep breath and wipe the blood off their faces now that Boogeyman 2 has officially wrapped principal photography. The script centers on a young woman with a long-term phobia of the boogeyman, who voluntarily checks herself into a mental health facility with the hope of conquering her overwhelming fears. However, much to her horror, she discovers that some things are terrifying on purpose, and confronting her demons was not the best course of action.

Heinz to change baked beans recipe as it faces Branston challenge
LONDON - Heinz and Premier Foods' Branston label have traded blows over new figures showing that Branston's baked beans are eating into Heinz's dominance of the market.
Reports revealed a confidential Heinz memo saying a new recipe for the Heinz Baked Beanz will be introduced in April or May, after the Branston brand captured nearly 10% of the baked beans market in three months.
Branston Baked Beans launched a £7m TV advertising push created by DLKW on January 20 to fight the brand leader Heinz's dominance of the £250m UK baked beans market. Premier bosses claim their beans will be become a big hit within two years.
The launch campaign stars an animated baked-bean "Richer Branston" can singing the praises of the beans to the tune of the Hot Chocolate song 'You Sexy Thing'. It was backed by a nationwide blind-tasting promotion and press and radio ads.
Nick Rabin, Branston Baked Beans marketing manager, said the new product was selling at twice the predicted rate and had already captured a 9.4% market share.
Rabin said: "Put it another way, Branston has taken a 1% share every 12 days since it launched in late October 2005. That's proof that consumers are looking for choice."
Branston has also launched new canned Spaghetti and Spaghetti Hoops.
Heinz says it has held on to its 68% share of UK baked beans market, up 6.2% on 2004, and claims the memo was not in response to the Branston challenge. Heinz, meanwhile, is facing a probe over its takeover of HP Foods last June.
The Office of Fair Trading last October referred the £470m acquisition by Heinz of HP Foods to the Competition Commission, saying it feared the takeover could mean higher prices for brown sauce and tomato ketchup. UK-based HP Foods, which also makes sauces under the Lea & Perrins, Daddies and Amoy brands, was sold by French group Danone to Heinz in June.
The Competition Commission has 24 weeks to report its findings, although Heinz has said it is confident the takeover will be approved.
Branston launched Branston Baked Beans last October, claiming they contained more tomatoes than the Heinz equivalent. Branston is part of the Crosse & Blackwell group, best known for pickles and sauces.

Posted March 10, 2013 on AP on Fox
Carmelo Anthony and Tyson Chandler won't be playing for the New York Knicks against the Los Angeles Clippers on Sunday. Coach Mike Woodson announced the decision after the Knicks arrived at Staples Center for their afternoon game. Anthony is the NBA's second-leading scorer this season, averaging 27.5 points. Fluid was drained from his right knee recently. He left in the third quarter of his return to Denver on Wednesday, and sat out the Knicks' loss at Portland on Thursday. Chandler bruised his left knee in a collision at Denver and missed the Knicks' visit to the Trail Blazers as well. The defense-minded big man leads the NBA in field goal percentage (.645) and is seventh in rebounds (11.0). New York has lost three straight blowouts on its West Coast trip.

Renewable energy 'simply WON'T WORK': Top Google engineers
And thorium cycle nuclear power is even better!
Using an alternative thorium-based nuclear cycle, radioactive waste can be reduced to a fraction of the waste from the current uranium cycle. The thorium approach also prevents Fukushima type accidents.
We have enough thorium for 3500 years ready to be mined, and could probably increase that 10-fold with less rich sources.
Samsung turns off lights on LEDs worldwide – except in South Korea
Lightbulbs are perceived to have a short life
LED bulbs suffer from the decades of having light bulbs last around a year. No-one is willing to spend 15x the price on the promise of a very long life.
The idea is very powerful,since LEDs are less than 50 percent the power of CF bulbs for twice the light output, but the economics and perception will be a killer until price drops near to the CF range, and legislation/price of electricity pushes the LED...that's going to be a while!
Look for Europe, with their incredibly pricey "green" power, to lead the growth of LEDs.
Tech starfleet: Will EMC Federation survive a Tucci departure?
The Emperor's VMware clothes
EMC's logistics and cost structure make competing in the cloud impossible. With big-iron under pressure from flash products and the move to low cost mid range arrays, the hardware business is on the downward slope. This leaves VMware as the core of a potential software empire in a few years time.
If VMware is divested, what is left behind is not too attractive, especially with the ODMs, WD and Seagate moving into the midrange array/appliance space.
FCC boss Wheeler: Lack of broadband choice is screwing Americans
Wheeler is right!
Gigabit fibre costs $35 a month in Seoul and is readily available - because there is a fierce competition among several providers.
It's clear that lack of competition means least cost service and high prices.
Sony backs AllSeen Alliance in Internet of Stuff standards slap-fight
VHS versus Betamax...Round 2?
Well, they can fight over the number of angels that can dance on a sensors head, but the VHS/Betamax fight set the stage for the DVD to wipe them both out!
Will they never learn?
Forrester says it's time to give up on physical storage arrays
All-flash arrays need Plan B
This is clearly a major trend, and unstoppable. It doesn't work for all-flash arrays, since the flash modules are proprietary to save cost and space, and to increase performance.
Note that most servers have just a few drive slots. This doesn't work well for today's HDDs, since the idea is to have a lot (60 drives???) of bulk SATA as the secondary storage behind a flash primary tier.
More detail is needed or this whole idea will rebound!
Death by 1,000 cuts: Mainstream storage array suppliers are bleeding
ODMs will enter the fray, too!
Commoditization is already moving at a fast pace, but it will accelerate as the ODMs who service the big CSPs start selling branded product and whiteboxes in the US. The barrier to entry on storage is reaching the Linux level, and we all know what happened to mainframes!
A beheading in EMC's ViPR lair? Software's big cheese to advise CEO
How cheap is that whitebox?
I can imagine the debates at EMC. On the one hand you have guys feeling the hot breath of the ODMs on their necks and worrying the price of hardware will drop like a rock, and on the other you have guys trying to embrace the inevitable, and build software to control it.
It looks like the typical reaction of the status quo. Every salesman in EMC is motivated NOT to sell ViPR, since it's cheaper overall and it loses them most of their account control. Result is dismal sales for the product. ViPR will quietly be buried, and everyone will heave a sigh of relief.
Of course, the ODM issue won't go away, and the ViPR folks will be vindicated, but much good it will do them! Better for EMC that ViPR be transferred to VMWare. Now EMC is without a unified storage approach or a good Software-Defined Storage story....Oh wait!, ViPR isn't dead yet!!!!
Flash could be CHEAPER than SAS DISK? Come off it, NetApp
Is NetApp talking price not cost?
This seems a bit FUDDY. Internet retail prices of MLC flash drives have already fallen below SAS HDD OEM pricing.I don't know why anyone would use enterprise HDDs.
As to the supply issue. Pricing tells the story. If there were a supply problem, pricing would be going up not down. I agree that flash won't replace bulk disk drives with 5TB capacities any time soon, but enterprise "fast" drives are dinosaurs. There's plenty of flash production capacity for that segment to be satisfied. Note that the replacement rate of flash for enterprise HDD is significantly lower than 1:1 for both drives and total capacity. The SSD are much faster, and don't need short-stroking.
Comcast, Time Warner boost net speeds in Google Fiber city – COINCIDENCE?
It's nothing to do with rural!
US cities are not much different to say South Korean cities. The rural excuse for lousy broadband doesn't cut it. It's true for Kansas, but not for New York. With most subscribers in cities, the point is even more obvious.
The real driver for the Telcos is getting as much return on their investment...that means no upgrades to the physical plant. Competition is the only force that can drive the issue.

Warrantless search for $500?

How practical is an electric car in London?
Britain (and the US ) need smaller cars
There is a partial solution to congestion sitting at hand, and it isn't this crazy electric car thing. Most commuting is done solo, so why not require 1 or 2 person sized vehicles. These would be super-compact, gas efficient, but most importantly, you can park at least 50 percent more cars in the same spaces, and they will effectively reduce traffic by around 30 percent, just by taking up less space on the road. They'd be cheap to manufacture, too.
We present to you: 840 fine, upstanding young disks stuffed into a rack cabinet – DDN
What is the use case for this?
Apart from giving field engineers a hernia, you have to wonder what this box is for. It can't hold much SSD because there aren't enough interfaces. This means it is a secondary bulk storage system, which begs the question of why SAS redundant interfaces were provided for the drives. SATA would have been the right choice. Front to back depth is going to cause problems, as is the floor load.
This looks a bit like a solution looking for a rapidly vanishing problem. The trend to compact storage boxes with fewer drives, such as FaceBook's 1U 12-drive module, makes much more sense, both use-wise and economically.
PCIe hard drives? You read that right, says WD
Pedalling a bike on the Nurburgring??
You have to
1 Ask why you would need such a fast connection on a snail-paced spinning drive
2 Wonder why SATA isn't enough
3 Ponder the presence of any spinning rust in the primary storage tier
4 Suspect this is yet another ploy to have high-priced (and unnecessary) "enterprise" hard drives
5 Predict that Ethernet drives will replace SATA anyway
Beijing to Washington: Ratted-out routers not welcome here
Cyber Cold War
There's clearly a cyber battle between the US and China, and it extends to commercial espionage. Why everyone is excited about just network gear escapes me. All of the large US companies, and all the Chinese brands, make their servers, PCs, tablets and phones in China.
They all have firmware and are easier to compromise. The solution is to treat firmware as software, and load it at the final user from a trusted source.
Cloudy plague will KILL storage vendors, say Gartner mages
They missed a wave!
It's interesting Gartner is breaking ranks with the march of the Big Battalions. That's very rare for them to do. Still, they didn't go far enough!
We will see a major move towards white-box storage, driven by both low price points and volume shipped to CSPs. Liken this to the evolution into Linux for systems and I think you get the picture.
The result will be a race to the bottom on prices, which generally is good for the consumer, but not so for the larger traditional providers. Software-Defined Storage reflects that fear, as the realization that value will be in the software not the hardware.
But there are only so many software stacks needed and the open-source community is working on that too. The traditional big vendors are going to need good futurists to guide through this!
You know all those resources we're about to run out of? No, we aren't
Common sense at last!
Now that there's a big chill on Anthropogenic Global Warming, it looks like the professional doomsayers are out finding the "Next Big Thing" (NBT). As with all fortune-tellers, predicting a disaster is better than predicting good news. If the disaster happens, the fortuneteller was right, and if it doesn't, everyone is so relieved they forgive the lie.
The NBT is going to be resources. We are raping the Earth and using them up without recycling - right! Soon we'll have calls for recycling every gram of metal into component elements, and plastics recycling will require us sorting every plastic type into unique bags. I can't wait!

ARRAY WITH YOU! Storage is growing... but you'll have to make way for new tech
Re: Synchronous replication over distance !
This is a serious and possibly fatal weakness in VSAN strategies. Vendors seem to extoll the virtues of storage mashups without getting into the detail of achieving no single point of failure. That makes VSANs a retrograde step.
This is consistent with the new instance storage mentality, whereby a local SSD is used to boost performance n an instance. That approach abandons virtualization, since loss of a node can cause actual data loss, given the no repair mentality of CSPs. The result is that jobs are in essence running in a hosted services model rather than a true virtualization model.
VSAN advocates blithely assume that "flexibility" is good, but the concept ignores too many real world constraints. Power efficiency and cooling, efficient networking, and ease of management are all understood in traditional storage, while it's still hard to see any thought of this behind all the VSAN and SDN hype.
Indian climate boffins: Himalayan glaciers are NOT MELTING
AGW isn't doing well
Despite the US President saying it's so, AGW's science is falling apart. Even the much vaunted ice retreat in Antarctica looks to be from natural causes.
It's time to move on to the next scare!
Scientists warn of FOUR-FOOT sea level rise from GLACIER melt
Wait, Wait! AGW is COLLING the Antarctic!
So this morning El Reg has an article on how boffins in Australia think AGW is cooling Antarctica. I guess Aussies see the world upside down, or else the Californians have been on a different planet for a while. You can't have it both ways!
HP-Foxconn wave cloud kit under the nose of Google, Facebook et al
Tough competition
Having delivered servers to the big CSPs, I can tell you this is a very tough market. The CSPs are technically very savvy, and buy in huge volumes, so their cost leverage is strong.
The question here is what HP brings to the table. It isn't support, since the CSPs use limited repai philosophies, and can handle technical issues themselves. It isn't volume buying power, since the CSPs are doing just fine going direct to the ODMs. It isn't technology savvy, since the Googles of the world are so far ahead of "mainstream" design philosophies that they would be teaching HP the business.
This play doesn't make great sense as stated...going after the 20 titans. It makes much more sense for enterprise private clouds and boutique second-tier CSPs or SaaS providers who don't have the skills or leverage to go to the ODMs direct.
Report: Climate change has already hit USA - and time is RUNNING OUT
I hate to be a bit cynical but I wouldn't expect a committee that has worked so long and hard, with such a strong political leaning toward Warming among the staffers who controlled it, to come up with anything short of a Jeremiad.
As is common in these cases, the baseline is chosen to give a decent increase, but the fact theat Earth has failed to follow the model for the last 21 years seems to have eluded the committee members.
Until there is a real explanation available for the last 22 years of stagnation on the warming front, and not just vague comments about ocean stirring, I won't jump on the AGW bandwagon. I find the model-based science rather dubious, especially as the cheerleaders for AGW regularly tout a symptom such as melting ice as absolute proof AGW is here, only to reverse themselves when the ice rushes back a couple of years late.
We do need to stop using oil, because there's a limited amount of it, and I don't want my grandchildren fighting a war to get the last drops. But dubious science is not the way to do this. We need some serious backbone in the debate, some common-sense and an acceptance that we can build safe nuclear reactors - we have thorium fuel for 5 millennia for those and pollution is much much better than uranium power!

Fusion-io takes DIMM view of flash cards ... Diablo goes for broke
NVDIMMs can be much faster
There are two types of NVDIMM. One is a flash block-IO device using the DIMM memory bus, and the other is a DRAM memory with a flash backup on power failure.
The latter runs at DRAM speed, and can be directly addressed by register-memory instructions. That leaves FusionIO, and PCIe generally, in the dust, but using the capability needs some software changes.
So the speed argument only applies to the other type of NVDIMM, which is still tied to the storage software stack in the OS and the moving of 4KB blocks of data.
NSA denies it knew about and USED Heartbleed encryption flaw for TWO YEARS
Did the NSA write this bug?
The hole is so elegant and so widespread that you would wonder if NSA wrote it.

CDOT relatively crap for flash, hyperscalers crap for constant storage
Those pesky Excel spreadsheets.
Jay's spreadsheet needs some work on it. S3 is indeed 2.5 cents per gigabyte per month, but that is for 3 replicas of the data, so it's really only 0.8 cents per drive gigabyte. At 3 months that nets 2.4 cents per drive gigabyte, not the 90 cents Jay talks up. This is $32/terabyte/year
At $32 per year, I suspect that AWS is way lower than the purchase price of a terabyte from NetApp, amortized over 4 years, NetApp has to include the drive, caddy, and a piece of the filer hardware and software to get a fair comparison, and also factor the cost of money.

Google's Drive SLASH, secret 'big upgrade': Coincidence? HARDLY
Compress, deduplicate - What price per Terabyte??
At $35 per terabyte, which is Google's price for a 2TB drive, amortized over 4 years, that works out at a drive cost of $0.75 per month.
But it's much better than that! Compression and deduplication reduce stored data size by 85 percent in a business environment, so we are down to around 10 cents cost of the drive per month.
In the consumer space, compression isn't as good, due to the large number of images stored. Deduplication across users, however, is fantastic, if implemented. Reductions of 99 percent are possible.
There are more costs than drives of course, but bottom line, these prices could still go down further!
Global Warming IS REAL, argues sceptic mathematician - it just isn't THERMAGEDDON
At Last - Real Science
For years I've watched articles nibbling away at the AGW issue, and many end with an obligatory sentence that, "Notwithstanding the above, AGW is warming the Earth", or some similar platitude.
It was career suicide for a scientist to open break with the Warmists. Now we find what we suspected. The models are subjective, and worse, look like they've been played up by unscrupulous or gullible people.
This is good science, insofar as it shows that much of the Warming story is POOR science. Heck, any model that ignore solar activity is broken! It's time we got real. We aren't going to roast. We aren't going to drown!
Of course, we could be like China and choke on our own pollution, and we are using up gas and oil faster than we should, so moving to alternatives makes some sense. Wind power is on the edge of a scam though, and solar may already be there. We need serious alternatives such as thorium reactors.

Million-dollar new disk tech could be USELESS for array vendors
Just drives?
The article misses a couple of points. It's predicated on Block-IO and SANs being the future of storage, which is a bit out of touch.
Look at Object Storage and the shingled drive makes sense. In Object stores, data is written sequentially, and if a roll-back to previous versions is needed, any updates create a new block. Shingle drives work really well in this mode, since each written block just tags on the end of the last written block.
Archiving works the same way,and if the runes are read correctly, this is the future for hard drive storage anyway, with Tier 1 being SSD only.
Seagate's new interface makes a lot of sense. It's a lot more efficient than the existing software stack. It's time to revise the stack for all disks.
As for Helium, this isn't a magic substance. All it means is that HGST has figured out how to do a 6TB drive. They've an edge over their competitor, but that's only temporary!

Tell us we're all doomed, MPs beg climate scientists
Garbage In Garbage Out
Most of the dire predictions of AGW are based on IPCC's model. This failed to take account of the sun's output variation, and of the fact that most sensors are near cities, which biases the average global temperature upward. Add to that a very unrealistic model of Greenland ice cap melt, and the Warmists had a story of gloom and doom to tell.
We are fixing the model, but it still can't acount for the 'hiatus', so it still is clearly very inadequate. Add to that all the 'warning signs' are turning into red herrings. The Arctic ice is roaring back, the PIG ice pack in Antarctica is growing like crazy, and winters seem to be getting much colder.
The reality is that the models don't work yet, and we should ignore them, but that would shatter the ricebowls of a lot of climate scientists, consultants and alternate energy companies. And a few politicians too!
Stephen Fry rewrites computer history again: This time it's serious
An IBMer told me a story....
I heard from a director-level IBMer in the PC Division at the time that CPM actually was IBM's first choice, but that it was difficult working with Kildall.
He said, and I have not verified it, that they had arranged to call Kildall with a final decision to go or not, and asked he be by the phone. When they called with the good news, Gary was playing golf, and a call to the clubhouse resulted in a caddy driving the "mobile" phone out to Kildall. He was heard making a comment to "Tell those ******** I'll call them back when I finish my golf." That triggered Plan B at IBM!.
Might be true, might not. But the teller would have been on that call without question.
That could make Stephen fry close to accurate.
Boffins: Antarctic glacier in irreversible decline, will raise sea levels by 1cm
Contradict's your own recent article
It seems that you are contradicting your own article of a couple of weeks ago on this subject where the British Antarctic Survey found the PIG had retreated because of the loss of a submerged ridge which allowed warm water in.
Article is at http://www.theregister.co.uk/2014/01/03/antarctic_ice_shelf_melt_lowest_ever_recorded_just_not_much_affected_by_global_warming/
The irreversibility also is in question, since the thermocline has now dropped 750 ft (cold water in this area overlays warm water). This effectively blocks the warm flow, and ice is growing back rapidly. I'd note in passing that the quoted irreversibility is in fact the output of a computer model and follows the "GIGO" rule. This was in the original BBC article.

Where is the Globe Warming?
Gosh, Lewis, when I last wrote on climate, the commentards jammed the Antarctic melt issue down my throat. You mean it's a myth, and those guys stuck in the ice aren't there because of AGW. I suppose the really nasty winters we are having are due to AGW, but I'm straining to find the connection anymore.

Re: *cough*

Britain's costliest mistake? Lord Stern defends his climate maths
Following the pack
In fiddling the model, Mr Stern was just following IPCC precedents. After all, the basic computer model for Global Warming has been revised downward drastically in the last few years, in part because none of the predicted warming has occurred. So just plain guessing of the model parameters by Mr Stern, with judicious insertion of biased assumptions, would be nothing new.
I suppose those sea-based wind turbines could be used to anchor cruise ships and fishing vessels
Why storage needs Quality of Service
Re: Why not just use SSD or flash
Sorry to deflate you, Been there, done that!
Re: Why not just use SSD or flash
These all seem like things you do to get around having slow storage. Why not just put in fast storage in the first place?
Why not just use SSD or flash
Starting the article with "Providing an Oracle database with 10,000 IOPS could mean aggregating dozens of 15,000 RPM drives, and unless the database is several terabytes in size that is a lot of wasted space" begs the issue of why you should just go to SSD.
No flash cache, no SSD tier...just use SSD. Heck, a Terabyte SSD is just $500 retail, which is about the same as a 15,000 RPM hard-drive. And you'll only need a couple to get 10K IOPS!
I'm surprised this discussion about how to get more from hard drives still comes up. It's over, and SSD won by several laps!

Despite the jokes about Chrometel and the rest, their direction is coming together, but they have a lot of ground to make up in some areas.
This will help enliven a computer industry that was rapidly becoming white box and commoditized. In the end, the losers are the proprietary CPU chip makers, and Microsoft.

A dollar may not go as far as it used to. But a dollar in Fort Wayne still goes further than a dollar in Fort Worth. But not in Fort Smith.
The Tax Foundation, using U.S. Bureau of Economics figures, has mapped how much $100 will buy in each state. There are some big differences.
As long as it stays within Indiana borders, a hundred bucks buys $109.77 worth of goods. In New Jersey, it buys only $87.64 worth of goods. In Texas, it's worth $103. But in Arkansas, the figure is $114.16.

How to Treat Shrinking Kidneys2012-12-01 09:42
Shrinking kidneys indicate that the kidneys are reducing in size which usually accompanies gradual deterioration of the kidneys. Normally, the size of a healthy individual's kidney is 8 -11cm in length, 5.5-7cm in width, and 4-5cm in thickness. Diminishing size of the kidneys is caused by scarring or sclerosis of glomerular and tubular cells. Shrinking kidneys should be treated from progressing; further worsening will continue to reduce kidney sizes to the point kidney function is lost completely.
What is the treatment for shrinking kidneys? Control the risk factors that could deteriorate the illness conditions. Blood pressure management helps to reduce glomerular filtration pressure and slow kidney deteriorate. Hypertension is an independent cause of Chronic Kidney Failure. Poorly controlled blood pressure will not only damage renal blood vessels, but also increase one's chance of cardiovascular diseases. People with Diabetes should control their blood glucose which delays damage on their kidneys.
Why kidneys are shrinking? Normally the kidneys are made up of millions of functioning units (nephrons). Blood infused to kidneys are filtered by nephrons to expel toxins into urine. Shrinking kidneys doesn't happen in early course of kidney disease. If kidney deteriorates, the nephrons in kidneys are gradually scarred; when this progresses, kidneys have less functioning cells, which will be manifested as shrinking kidneys.
The treatment for shrinking kidneys focuses on improving the damaged kidneys and preventing further renal sclerosis. Chinese medicine treatment with plenty of nutritive substances and materials resist renal inflammation, accelerate blood and nutrient supplement, and detoxicate the kidneys, thus helping the improvement of damaged kidneys and stops further shrinking of the kidneys. Chinese medicine treatment is included into natural treatment methods, one of the ancient treatment methods in the world but now has been included and studied under modern medicine science.
Shrinking kidneys is always a warning sign. After it is diagnosed, it is necessary to take proper treatment into consideration and make necessary dietary adjustments to help their condition.

MANSFIELD — Friday was a feast for Arlington Bowie's defensive front.Mansfield's power run game was no match for Bowie's down linemen in a one-sided 24-9 victory for the Volunteers at Mansfield's R.L. Anderson Stadium. Mansfield junior running back Julius Lewis spent the first half searching for holes in the line but had trouble finding any, leading to just 56 yards of total offense for the Tigers (0-1) before halftime.On the other hand, Bowie senior running back Trenton Shumate danced and weaved his way to 96 yards rushing and two touchdowns."Yeah, I'd say that's his best game," Bowie coach Danny DeArman said. "It was his first on offense."Shumate switched to running back from defensive back. Shumate opened the scoring, rushing for a 20-yard touchdown early in the second quarter. The senior followed that up with another 20-yard scoring scamper with seven minutes left in the half. "It's a good feeling," Shumate said. "I've just got to get used to [offense]."Bowie completed its first-half scoring on a 35-yard field goal by Antonio Hernandez with just over a minute left in the second quarter.Bowie senior quarterback Keaton Perry made his first start since suffering a season-ending knee injury last season and connected on one passing touchdown with senior running back Brican Crossley. Crossley burned his way into the defensive secondary on a seam route, reeled in the pass and walked into the end zone from 33 yards out. However, Mansfield didn't leave empty handed. Tigers kicker Nathan McBride drilled a 32-yard field goal late in the third quarter to give Mansfield its first points of the game. Mansfield wrapped up the scoring with a 1-yard quarterback keeper by sophomore Caleb Evans with 2:55 left in the game. Perry went 17 for 29 for 195 yards and an interception.

Nestor Outer - 1914-2014: Battle of the Frontiers Centenary
- Opening periods
- from Friday 27 June 2014 to Sunday 30 November 2014
- from Friday 27 June 2014 to Sunday 30 November 2014
- Address:
Musée Gaumais
Rue d'Arlon 38-40

This watercolour painter from Virton presents, through close to 70 works, the shattering events of August 1914 in the Gaume region. In Virton, from 27/06 to 30/11/14.
At the time, there were no wartime painters specifically enrolled in the region to bring back images.
Nestor Outer, conscious of a duty of remembrance, took it upon himself to illustrate the conflict in the Gaume region thus becoming a kind of wartime reporter.
He witness everything of the military exploits and the human distress. He recorded, whether in his diary or on canvas, the history and his experiences: the burning of the village of Ethe and its ruins, the retreat from Breuvanne-Rossignol, the execution of civilians, a child leaving flowers at the grave of a fallen soldier.
What can you say about these canvases showing exodus, the tears of civilians, a German soldier praying an Angelus or the parade of pain inflicted by this nameless tragedy?
At the beginning of the First World War, what was called the Battle of the Frontiers, devastated a whole region, from the Lorraine to Dinant. Virton and the surrounding villages were hit heavily.
For more than 20000 French soldiers, and almost as many Germans, the days of 22 to 24 August in Gaume were the first and last of the war.
Yet, while the armed forces suffered hugely, we can't forget that civilians also paid a heavy price, one of the heaviest in modern times, with fires, massacres and destruction.
The whole region still grieves, to this day, these darkest days of its history.
As part of the First World War centenary, the Musée Gaumais will re-exhibit Nestor Outer's rare and popular work entitled Les Larmes Gaumettes.

Nicole Kidman gave up the glamorous trappings of Hollywood to star in low-budget drama "Rabbit Hole" - she slept on a blow-up bed in a house where the movie was shot. The "Moulin Rouge!" star scaled back her luxury lifestyle so film bosses could create the emotional movie on a $10 million budget.
Kidman, who also serves as a producer on the drama, reveals, "We lived in the house the movie was shot in, shared the bathroom and had blow-up beds to sleep on. When filming on location in a school, I got changed behind a curtain in the headmistress' office."
The film, which sees Kidman play a bereaved mother, is set for limited release on December 17 in the U.S. Starring opposite her is Aaron Eckhart.

Polls open as candidates make last-minute bids for votes
Sep. 24, 2013
Dorchester state Rep. Marty Walsh planned to greet voters outside McKenna's Café, down the street from his Tuttle Street home in Savin Hill, as polls opened at 7 a.m. across the city. About 7 miles away, District 5 Councillor Rob Consalvo was scheduled to cast his vote at the Blake Estates on Hyde Park Ave. And three miles away from there, City Councillor At-Large John Connolly was set to greet voters at about 7:30 a.m. at St. George Orthodox Church in West Roxbury.
Nine other candidates have similar schedules. For the first time in 30 years, the municipal ballot will not include the name Thomas Menino. Twelve names will be there instead, along with dozens of candidates looking to snag a City Council at-large slot or a district seat. Today's preliminary will whittle the field of mayoral candidates to two, and the number of at-large candidates to eight.
Polls in the last week have shown what appears to be the solidification of a top tier, as many political observers had predicted months ago: Connolly and Walsh, two candidates who have been running for mayor longer than the other major contenders in the field; Suffolk District Attorney Dan Conley, who started with a significant cash advantage; and former Dorchester state Rep. Charlotte Golar Richie, the lone woman in the race and a former aide to Menino and Gov. Deval Patrick.
But the campaigns of the other contenders will argue they have a fair shot at the final, too, because of the high number of undecided voters that could break their way, the polls undercounting their supporters, or their below-the-radar ground game. The rest of the field includes Consalvo, former School Committee member John Barros, District 5 Councillor Michael Ross, City Councillor At-Large Felix Arroyo, and Savin Hill activist Bill Walczak. District 4 Councillor Charles Yancey is running for mayor and his council seat. TOUCH 106.1 FM's Charles Clemons and Roxbury Republican David James Wyatt are also on the ballot.
Secretary Bill Galvin, who oversees the state's elections department, predicted that turnout will be higher than in the 2009 preliminary, when Menino faced off against two city councillors at-large and a South End activist. That year, 82,000 voters showed up at the polls. Galvin said turnout could be around 100,000 this year, and possibly as high as 125,000, depending on the intensity of interest in the race.
The intensity of candidates' campaigns is another matter: Galvin expressed concern that voters will have to run a "gauntlet" of campaign supporters attempting to influence voters on their way into their polling place. Galvin said the law forbidding campaigning within 150 feet of a polling location will be enforced. The race for mayor has been largely congenial, Galvin said. "I want to make sure it has a congenial ending."
In the South End on Sunday, City Councillor At-Large Felix G. Arroyo canvassed with state Rep. Byron Rushing, running into a corner store and a hair salon and chatting up voters inside. They came upon one home with one bumper sticker after the other pasted onto her door, from Jesse Jackson's run for president, Mel King's run for Congress, to Rushing's campaigns for state representative. "Let me tell you, I'm an old lady. I've been voting since I've been allowed to," said the bumper stickers' owner, Beverly Adams, as Arroyo placed a sticker with his name on the door.
Seeing Arroyo with Rushing helped win her over, she said. "I remember when his dad first ran," she said, referring to Felix D. Arroyo, who also served on the City Council. "He's charming. He's personable. And I think he means what he says." Read more

State House News Q&A: Mayoral candidates on medical marijuana
Sep. 13, 2013
In response to a News Service questionnaire, nine of the 12 candidates hoping to become the next mayor of Boston explained their stances on regulating and supervising medical marijuana facilities in the city.
QUESTION: How would your administration deal with medical marijuana dispensaries in Boston?
JOHN CONNOLLY: Voters have decided that such dispensaries are legal and it is now up to the city to come up with thoughtful zoning requirements to ensure that dispensaries are not concentrated in our most underserved neighborhoods or near schools. Read more
Mayor hopefuls: Tell us your plan for this case
Eyesore remains a hold-out on Dudley Street
There are many high-profile eyesores and abandoned lots across Boston that merit the attention, imagination and hustle of the next mayor. But few loom as large as the Leon Electric building in Uphams Corner.
The hulking warehouse complex sits right next to the MBTA commuter rail station at the corner of Dudley and Humphreys streets. The empty, fenced-off, weather-worn behemoth rises up seven stories and casts a foreboding shadow over the neighborhood business district below. Read more
Conley sees 'sprint' to win: DA spurs team on S. Boston streets
Clad in a plain red t-shirt, khaki shorts, and a cap with a "Dan Conley" sticker on its front, Bobby Madden was working "Marty Walsh" country.
On a recent Saturday morning, the 69-year-old Dorchester fixture, who is an investigator in Suffolk District Attorney Conley's office, made his way up St. Brendan's Hill with a young assistant district attorney at his side and a list of super-voters in his hand. They were part of a small group of canvassers looking to identify Dorchester supporters of Conley, who is one of the 12 candidates running for mayor.
Madden, who grew up in the area and lives on Gallivan Boulevard, didn't need the list. The neighborhood is largely made up of families whose breadwinners are police officers, firefighters, and teachers. He knows most of them, and most of them know him. Read more
State House News Q&A: Mayoral candidates on liquor licensing
Aug. 30, 2013
In response to a News Service questionnaire, ten of the 12 candidates for mayor of Boston offered their positions on how state law could be altered to allow for more liquor licenses for the city. Currently, the Legislature selectively grants additional licenses for communities, but Boston has for years operated at the maximum number of licenses, creating high demand and steep prices for existing licenses. Mayor Thomas Menino supports a home rule petition from City Councilor Ayanna Pressley that would allow the city to do away with the cap and regulate its own licensing. Read more
Will next mayor make or break the Strand Theatre?
What will the next mayor of Boston do with the Strand Theatre, the Uphams Corner landmark that debuted as a movie palace in the waning days of World War I? Like a Charlie Chaplin character flickering across its earliest screen, the Uphams Corner landmark stumbled and lurched across the 20th century and, on more than one occasion, damn-near plunged hat-first into an abyss of debt and decrepitness. And, like the 'Little Tramp' himself, the Strand has proven to be an enduring and endearing figure – with the promise of new audiences and a heroic revival that has been years in the making.

Suffolk Downs pact with city puts casino vote issue in spotlight
Aug. 28, 2013
On a humid Tuesday afternoon, Bill Walczak was waiting outside City Hall. His mayoral campaign, like the others struggling for attention in a 12-person field, had just been handed a small gift from a few floors above: an agreement between the city and Suffolk Downs to bring money, jobs, and a $1 billion casino to East Boston. In other words, something specific to run against, aside from his opponents. Read more
Candidates talk policy in Dorchester Reporter survey
In July, the Dorchester Reporter prepared its own questionnaire for mayoral candidates and asked each of the 12 candidates on the Sept. ballot to participate. To date, nine of the 12 candidates have submitted the survey, which included biographical questions, details about their political ideology and specific policy questions that have both citywide and neighborhood-specific implications. The Reporter also included a "case study" section that asks candidates how they would deal with a longstanding redevelopment question in Uphams Corner: the Leon Electric Building. Read more

According to new research by the Institute for Highway Safety, side air bags can save the lives of thousands of American drivers a year, if every vehicle on the road had the equipment.
One-third of all deaths on the road happen in side-impact crashes. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety says it's partly because crashes between SUVs and cars are becoming more common.
"When an SUV or pick-up truck strikes a regular car, the consequences for the passengers and driver of the car are much worse than if that car were struck by another car," said Vice President of IIHS, David Zuby.
However, new research by the Institute shows side air bags can drastically improve drivers' chances of survival.
In the report, experts compared the benefits of two kinds of side air bags, those that protect the torso and those that protect both the torso and the head.
In cars, torso airbags reduced driver deaths by 26%. Head and torso airbags were even more effective, reducing deaths by 37%.
"Air bags that offer head protection are so important; they prevent the head from going out the window and provide a cushion between your head and the front of the vehicle," said Zuby.
For SUV drivers, the benefits of side air bags were even more dramatic with torso bags reducing the risk of death by 30%. If you add head air bags, the risk of death drops by 52%.
Sounds great, but not many drivers have taken advantage of the air bags safety and neither have automakers. It's not required by law.
Right now, only four out of five new cars and SUVs offer head-protecting side air bags as a standard or even an option. However, IIHS officials say automakers have agreed to install side air bags as standard equipment by the year 2010.
The air bags usually cost between $500 and $700 as an optional feature in a vehicle.

Conquering Europe is priority
Owen Hargreaves has revealed winning the Champions League is United's priority this season, ahead of retaining their Premier League title. While United remain on course to win both, with a three-point lead in the title race and a semi-final date with Barcelona, midfielder Hargreaves claimed Europe is now his side's main focus. Hargreaves said: "From a distance you associate United with the Premier League title, which is probably the most prestigious in Europe. But I've read Roy Keane's book and he says the most important thing at United is the Champions League. There was a conversation with him and the manager, who said that without him they could win the Premier League but they need him fit to win the Champions League. And the manager pulled Jaap Stam up when Stam said the priority at United was the league, telling him it was Europe. There's a totally different atmosphere at Old Trafford for European games than for domestic fixtures. United now considers itself a global brand and it needs success in Europe to strengthen that position."
David McDonnell, Daily Mirror
The midfielder also revealed that his career continues to be blighted by a chronic knee injury. "It's something the doctors say I have to manage because when you get this problem it stays with you," said Hargreaves.
Samuel Eto'o believes Barcelona are better than United and he is already dreaming of a Champions League final date in Moscow.
Fellow striker Thierry Henry claims Middlesborough have provided Barcelona with the blueprint for ending Sir Alex Ferguson's hopes of Champions League glory. he said: "Middlesborough showed that if you attack them you can score goals against United."

Lil Wayne Apology to Emmett Till Family: Heartfelt or Half-Assed?by Free Britney at . Comments
Lil Wayne sent a letter of apology to the family of Emmett Till for disparaging his name in a rap lyric, but was the apology sufficient? Or even an apology?
Lil Wayne's "Karate Chop" lyrics contained a degrading reference to the teen, whose 1955 murder became a watershed moment for the civil rights movement.
"It has come to my attention that lyrics from my contribution to a fellow artist's (Future's) song has deeply offended your family," Wayne wrote in the letter.
Said the rapper, who suffered another seizure this week in L.A., "As a father myself, I cannot imagine the pain that your family has had to endure."
"I would like to take a moment to acknowledge your hurt, as well as the letter you sent to me via your attorneys," he added in an odd choice of words.
"Moving forward, I will not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in my music, especially in an inappropriate manner," Wayne's letter continued.
"I fully support Epic Records' decision to take down the unauthorized version of the song and to not include the reference in the version that went to retail."
"I will not be performing the lyrics live and have removed them from my catalog."
"I have tremendous respect for those who paved the way for the liberty and opportunities that African-Americans currently enjoy."
"As a business owner who employs African-Americans and gives philanthropically to organizations that help youth to pursue their dreams my ultimate intention is to uplift rather than degrade our community."
Good enough? Not really, according to Till's family and their rep.
Airickca Gordon-Taylor, Executive Director of the Mamie Till Mobley Memorial Foundation and Till Family rep, says the family does not view the letter as a formal apology:
"While it's commendable that he has vowed to respect the legacy of Emmett Till and his memory to not use or reference Emmett Till or the Till family in his music," she said.
"This statement falls short of an apology, as none is mentioned."
She's not wrong. Just saying.
That boy did not write that letter. He couldn't spell philanthropically much less know what it means. His 'people' wrote that letter. But I agree, it is not an apology. No where in the letter is an 'I'm sorry' or an 'I apologize'. He is now and will always be a piece of garbage who has to get attention by means of being controversial instead of being talented.
He was a straight A student in highschool. He is a clever man, and unbelieveably very -very eloquent. You wouldn't know unless you have seen him beeing interviewd by this CNN reporter.
At the rate lil wayne is going he will be dead soon so take it from where it comes - just sayin

Turkey approves the sale of army vehicle maker BMC
Thursday, May 08, 2014
ANKARA - Turkey´s Savings Deposit Insurance Fund has approved the sale of BMC to Turkish businessman Ethem Sancak´s company Es Mali Yatirim, on Thursday.
BMC was seized by the fund along with several other companies in 2013 to collect US$455.3 million worth of debt owed by its previous parent company Cukurova Holding.
The Turkish businessman offered 751 million Turkish lira (US$360 million) last Friday to buy the Turkish vehicle manufacturer known for producing military vehicles. The fund initially estimated BMC's value at 958 million lira ($462 million).
BMC, who make land-mine resistant vehicles as well as trucks and buses, were auctioned by Turkey's Savings Deposit Insurance Fund on April 30 for 985 million Turkish lira. Ethem Sancak initially offered 540 million Turkish lira but his company ES Mali Yatirim increased the offer after negotiating with the auction commission.
The auction commission said: "The offer will be presented to the fund board and then the decision as to whether to sell the company for 751 million lira will be made."
"The fund board has applied to Turkey´s Competition Authority in order to give a final decision on the deal," a statement by the Fund said.
Ethem Sancak said last Wednesday that the company will cost him around 2 billion Turkish lira (US$948 million) because of the investment he claims will be needed to continue production.
He also said that if he buys the company, he will make a strong strategic partnership with a country from the Gulf – some Qatari businessman were present at Wednesday's auction.
The Turkish Armed Forces and BMC previously agreed on a deal to produce 468 Kirpi vehicles, Turkey's first mine-resistant vehicle, but the company only met its commitment on 278 vehicles - which led to the company being fined.

More than 100 street signs are missing in Pike County.
Investigators say all were stolen in a matter of days.
Now the fiscal court is offering a reward to catch the thieves.
County officials say the stolen street signs cost taxpayer's money to replace and put lives in danger during an emergency, so officials want to catch the thieves and stop the thefts before something worse happens.
Pike County Road Foreman Greg White is replacing street signs all over his district. 115 disappeared in just the last few weeks.
"Some of these signs we put up, and they come back down the next night," Greg White said.
After 42 disappeared in one night, White took measures to prevent it, but the signs keep disappearing.
"It seems like nothing is working. You know, everything we do, they're still taking them down," White said.
White does not know why. The signs are made of fiberglass, not metal, and have no street value.
Now the fiscal court is getting involved. Each stolen sign costs taxpayer dollars to replace.
"They are definitely not cheap," Pike County Judge Executive Wayne T. Rutherford said.
They worry it could cost someone's life.
Paramedics and Firefighters need the street signs to find emergencies.
"They're a must and people just don't realize what a lifesaving thing they are. They're just as much a part of the 911 system as the operators and fire departments and everything else," Randy Courtney said.
The Fiscal Court is offering a 300 dollar reward for information leading to an arrest and conviction of the thieves, "We think 300 will entice them to give us a call," Judge Rutherford said.
The County Attorneys also plan to prosecute the thefts as felonies.
They hope the thefts stop before someone's life is in danger.
If you have any information about the thefts, or if you have any of the stolen signs, you can call the Pike County Sheriff's Office.
Officials say people will not get the reward money until the cases go through court.

SAN FRANCISCO — San Francisco Giants general manager Brian Sabean all but finalized pitcher Barry Zito's long-expected departure following seven tough years, while saying two of his top priorities moving forward from a disappointing 2013 season are re-signing Tim Lincecum and Hunter Pence.
Yes, Lincecum might stay put in the comforts of the Bay Area where The Freak has spent his entire seven-year big league career. The pitcher said Thursday he feeds off familiarity and would like to stay, and Sabean acknowledged Friday he will try to lock up a deal for Lincecum before he hits free agency.
The Giants are in discussions with the representatives for Pence, who is wrapping up a $13.8 million, one-year deal.
Zito's $18 million option for 2014 won't be picked up, so he will receive a $7 million buyout.

George May had a clever idea: Let oysters soak in a solution of Viagra for a while, and then sell them as Viagra Oysters. Of course, Pfizer is objecting to this use of its drug, and food-safety officials don't like the idea of selling purposefully contaminated oysters. But still, May is confident he's got a successful product on his hands, and his idea has received quite a lot of media attention. So it pleased him, but didn't surprise him, when he received the following email from Google's corporate offices:
"Congratulations! The Viagra oyster story is the fastest growing internet story since 9/11 with over 700,000 links in 24 hours."Except, of course, Google doesn't send out congratulatory letters of this kind. If they did, they'd constantly be congratulating whoever was the latest internet-celebrity-of-the-day. The email was the work of a prankster who forged the "from" field. Or was it? Perhaps May cooked up the email himself to gain a little more media attention for himself. He's denying this allegation, but it seems plausible to me since he's the one benefitting from the hoax -- and because his first reaction on receiving the email was to call the media and tell them about it.
