Rough Nights For Miller, Pounders
Saturday's action in the Pirates' minor league organization began with a double header sweep in the Gulf Coast League, making up for yesterday's rain out:
GCL Pirates 3, GCL Blue Jays 2 (Game 1)
[ box ]
Luis Heredia pitched 3 scoreless innings to begin this game, facing only one batter over the minimum. After retiring the side in order in the 1st, Heredia hit a batter in the 2nd inning but promptly erased that runner with a double play. He walked a batter with two outs in the 3rd, but C Ryan Hornback threw that runner out trying to steal second base.
The Pirates scored their first run in the 1st inning. CF Junior Sosa singled and stole second base, then moved to third on a sacrifice bunt. 1B Jose Osuna's RBI single plated Sosa. LF Ping-Hung Chi led off the 3rd inning with a walk, and Sosa bunted him to second. A ground out moved Chi to third, and he scored on DH Gregory Polanco's line drive single into right field.
David Jagoditsh relieved Heredia to begin the 4th. He pitched a scoreless 4th, then gave up the Jay's first run in the 5th, on a single, two stolen bases, and an RBI single. The Pirates got the run right back in the bottom of the inning. 3B Francisco Aponte walked, and both Polanco and Osuna singled, to load the bases. Aponte scored on Hornback's ground out to third. RF Gavi Nivar also grounded to third, but the fielder's choice had Polanco out at the plate. The Pirates were up 3-1.
Jagoditsh began the top of the 6th with two outs, and then was relieved by Miguel Mendez. The first batter Mendez faced smacked a home run, to make the score 3-2. Mendez walked the lead-off batter in the 7th, but Hornback threw him out trying to steal second, and Mendez struck out the next two batters to end the game. Jagoditsh earned his first win of the season, and Mendez earned his first Save.
GCL Pirates 1, GCL Blue Jays 0 (Game 2)
[ box ]
Orlando Castro earned his first win for the Pirates with 6 scoreless innings of work. He allowed 6 hits, no walks, and struck out 2 batters. In both the 2nd and 3rd innings, the first two Jays' batters hit back-to-back singles, but both times, Castro got an out (strikeout, and tag out at third), then induced an inning-ending double play. Castro also gave up singles in the 4th and 6th inning, but left both those runners on base.
The Pirates were also scoreless over their first 6 innings, held to just 3 hits, and falling victim to 7 strikeouts. 2B Jodaneli Carvajal singled in the 1st inning, but was out in a double play. DH Jose Osuna led off the 3rd inning with a single up the middle, and was left on base. Osuna singled again in the 5th, and was again left stranded. The top of the 7th began with 3B Yhonathan Barrios working a walk. He moved to second on a wild pitch, and to third on a sacrifice bunt by C Jon Schwind. RF Gregory Polanco drove Barrios in with a line drive into right field, and that was the only run of the game.
Joseph Parsons replaced Castro on the mound for the 9th inning and pitched a perfect inning to earn his second Save.
Curve Scoreless Again, Marauders Bomb Mets
Some Sunday action in the Pirates' minor league organization… the GCL Pirates had the day off.
Harrisburg Senators 6, Altoona Curve 0
[ box ]
The Curve were again held scoreless this afternoon. That means that in the last 5 games (44 innings), the Curve have scored just one run. Today the team was held to 3 hits, and those were the only Curve batters to reach base. The first 10 batters were retired in order. 2B Brock Holt doubled in the 4th inning, then the next 6 batters were retired. Pinch-hitter Brad Chalk singled in the 6th, and was out at second when CF Starling Marte grounded into a force out. The Curve also went down in order in the 7th and 8th innings. Marte doubled with one out in the 9th, but two fly outs left Marte still standing on second base when the game ended.
Phillip Irwin made the start for Altoona. He allowed two singles over the first two innings, but ran into difficulty in the 4th. A single began the inning, then Irwin recorded two outs. That was followed by an RBI single, a double, a 2-RBI single, and a throwing error. One more run scored on a wild pitch, to give the Senators a 4-0 lead. Irwin finished his afternoon with those 4 runs (3 earned) on 6 hits, no walks, with 6 strikeouts in 5 innings of work.
Bryan Morris relieved Irwin and pitched 2 scoreless innings, allowing a walk and a single in the 7th. Tim Alderson pitched the 8th, and gave up a single and a 2-run homer for the Senators' final two runs.
Leach's First Win In Marauders' Hit-Fest
The Pirates have signed 23rd round draft pick RHP Jordan Cooper to a contract. He had been a pitcher for Kentucky, and that experience might get him a start at State College. Here is a list of all the 2011 draft picks, with notations for which ones have signed.
Friday's game action:
Harrisburg Senators 2, Altoona Curve 0
[ box ]
A 2-run homer in the bottom of the 10th broke the scoreless tie for the only scoring in this pitching duel. Jeff Locke pitched 6 scoreless frames for the Curve, scattering 3 singles and a walk over his first 3 innings. The he retired the Senators in order for the next 3 innings. He threw 78 pitches (48 strikes) in those 6 innings. Bryan Morris pitched a scoreless 7th, allowing just a single. That base runner moved to second base on a balk, which started an argument by Altoona manager PJ Forbes — and resulted in Forbes being ejected. Michael Dubee, back with the Curve after some time with Indianapolis, gave up a lone single in the 8th, and Noah Krol allowed a single and a walk in the 9th, but both kept the Senators from scoring.
But the Curve weren't scoring either. They pounded out 7 hits, including two by SS Jordy Mercer. Mercer's triple i n the 7th was the only extra-base hit for the Curve, and the only time that a Curve base runner reached as far as third base. RF Andrew Lambo also walked twice. CF Starling Marte opened the game with a single, but was thrown out at second after Mercer's strikeout. 1B Matt Curry and LF Brad Chalk both singled in the 2nd, but Curry was picked off second base, and Chalk was thrown out trying to steal second. 2B Brock Holt singled in the 4th, and pinch-hitter Anthony Norman singled in the 10th and stole second base.
Latimore Leads Curve To Win; Spikes Win Their First
Less action than usual for a Sunday afternoon — the Bradenton Marauders are still on their All-Star break, and the game between the West Virginia Power and the Lakewood BlueClaws was cancelled due to wet grounds at Appalachian Power Park. The South Atlantic League All-Star Game will be held on Tuesday.
Altoona Curve 4, Harrisburg Senators 1
[ box ]
LF Quincy Latimore and RF Anthony Norman posted 2 hits each, and Latimore scored 3 of the Curve's 4 runs as Altoona took the win. Latimore's first hit was a double lined into left field in the bottom of the 2nd inning. He scored on Norman's single. The two combined again in the 4th inning for another run. With two outs, Latimore walked, then Norman singled into right field. When the Harrisburg right fielder made a throwing error, Latimore had the chance to round third and score. Latimore homered to lead off the 7th inning, and at that point, he was responsible for all of the Curve runs.
With former Pirate farmhand Jimmy Barthmaier on the mound for Harrisburg in the 8th, CF Starling Marte began the inning with a single. Marte advanced to second base on a ground out by 3B Jeremy Farrell, then he stole third base. C Tony Sanchez's RBI single up the middle brought Marte in to score the final run for the Curve.
Phillip Irwin made the start for the Curve and pitched 6 scoreless innings. He hit a batter in the top of the 1st, then retired the next 13 Harrisburg batters, until he gave up a lone single in the 5th. He allowed a single and a walk in the 6th, for the biggest threat he had faced, but left both on base to end the inning. Bryan Morris relieved Irwin to begin the 7th inning. He put the side down in order in that inning, but gave up an unearned run in the 8th. A throwing error by Sanchez, a double, and an RBI ground out brought in the run. Morris allowed a single in the 9th, but did not allow another run to score. Irwin won his first game of the season, and Morris earned his third Save.
Tough Night for Morris, Miller; Taillon Strikes Out 8
All of the Pirates' minor league affiliates lost on Tuesday evening…..
New Britain Rock Cats 10, Altoona Curve 4
[ box ]
It was a tough night for Curve starter Bryan Morris, who gave up 7 runs on 9 hits and 3 walks in 4 innings of work. Morris got into trouble in the top of the 1st. He gave up a lead-off single, then set down the next two batters on fly outs. Three straight singles and his own throwing error on the final single (a bunt) brought in two runs. The top of the 2nd was worse — three singles and three walks, with a throwing error by LF Quincy Latimore, and an RBI ground out brought in another 5 runs for New Britain, for a 7-0 lead. Morris gave up a single in each of the next two innings, but retired those two runners with a pair of double plays.
The Curve got three of the runs back in the 3rd inning. DH Jose Hernandez doubled, and scored on RF Brad Chalk's single. Chalk came in on 2B Brock Holt's triple, then SS Jordy Mercer doubled, plating Holt. That cut the Rock Cats' lead to 7-4.
But the Rock Cats added to their lead with 3 runs off reliever Tim Alderson. A single, a ground out, and a wild pitch put the lead-off batter on third in the 5th, and two more walks and a wild pitch brought him in. A walk, another wild pitch, an RBI single and an RBI double gave the Rock Cats 2 more runs in the 6th, for a 10-3 lead.
The Curve put base runners on in most of the remaining innings of the game, but they were left stranded. Holt singled and CF Starling Marte walked with two outs in the 5th, and the Curve did not put two runners on base again until the 9th. 1B Matt Curry walked to begin the 9th, and 3B Jeremy Farrell singled. Curry went to third on the hit, and he scored on Hernandez's sacrifce fly.

I'm afraid you've fallen into the 'because its new it must be better' trap. Mastery is currently our (ret's) worst stat. You should instead be reforging to Haste; everything you can, or up to 1019 haste (a 3s CS cooldown fully raid buffed), whichever comes first. It is fairly easy to understand once you look at it hard enough; HoL procs only give us the difference in damage between the button we would have hit anyway and the free TV.. somewhere between 1/2 and not a dps increase at all. Also, Mastery simply gives us more chance for HoL procs; Haste gives us a shorter CS cooldown, hence more Holy Power, hence more TVs.. it also gives us more auto attacks., indirectly giving us more HoL procs as well. Haste should be your top stat after str, hit and expertise.

This sleek design, with its futuristic and aerodynamic shape, is packed with technology. Nenad Kostadinov's Furious bike has a long display where you can see what gear you're in, your current speed, the time, the outside temperature, and a map.
Nenad Kostadinov's Furious bike is made to travel quite fast because it uses a special braking system, just like the ones on sports cars. Anyway, I hope this goes in mass production because I really want one.

Birds of a Feather Check BGs Together
What do you get when you cross a pelican with an albatross?
When applied to blood glucose testing, the answer is: big benefits. Just change "pelican" to Pelikan Technologies in Palo Alto, California, and "albatross" to Albatros Technologies.
Pelikan Technologies has developed the electronically controlled Pelikan Sun lancing system, already approved by the FDA. When it becomes available in a few months, it will be the first lancing system to allow us to perform the entire lancing process at the touch of a button.
A Match Made in Heaven
In December 2004, Pelikan Technologies bought the German company Inventus. The acquisition provides Pelikan with the Inventus GlucoSens blood glucose meter. Pelikan immediately changed the Inventus name to Albatros Technologies.
The German spellings of "Pelikan" and "Albatros" are no coincidence; Pelikan's president and CEO, Dirk Boecker, MD, PhD, hails from that country.
"We now own all technologies and components necessary for the development of our advanced fully integrated glucose-monitoring device," says Boecker. "The sensor fits nicely into the format of the Pelikan Sun. Yet it will be about the size of Apple's iPod mini and weigh about 5 ounces."
The fully integrated one-step device will have 50 lancets and 50 sensors in one disk. There will be no strips.
"This is a device for everybody, but children and the elderly in particular have special needs," says Boecker. "Children are the people with the most sensitive skin, and they have to test for their entire life. This device will let them be more compliant."
Waiting to Fly
Pelikan and Albatros don't expect the device to be on the market until 2007. The company hasn't named it yet, but my guess is that it will be the German name for a beautiful bird.
Disks, Discs and Drums
Pelikan will offer the first lancing disk and, eventually, the first lancing and sensing disk.
Currently, two Bayer meters—the Ascensia Dex 2 and Ascensia Breeze—use a 10-test-strip disc, which does away with handling individual test strips.
Roche's Accu-Chek Compact also automates the strip-handling process. It enables test strips to be dispensed from a drum of 17 strips with a press of a button.
The ReliOn NewTek contains 100 preloaded test strips. Hypoguard markets this meter exclusively through Wal-Mart and Sam's Club.
MediSense's Precision Sof-Tact was the first glucose monitor to offer lancing, blood collection and glucose testing with a single press of a button. Yet you still have to load each lancet and test strip.

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
[Social] Sesame Street gets Nigerian yam-loving, HIV positive twist

A yam-loving muppet and another who's HIV positive romp about a set filled
with an old drum of oil, a raffia basket and a heap of ubiquitous hot red
peppers. Welcome to Sesame Street, Nigerian style.
The local adaptation of the legendary children's educational television
series hits Nigerian screens at the weekend with the same vocation as its
award-winning American model: give pre-schoolers a head start in learning
their letters and numbers -- and lots of fun while doing so.
But Sesame Square, as the show is called, has a definite African twist --
and not just Big Bird's Nigerian-accented English.
Focus is also placed on malaria prevention in a country where the disease
kills around 300,000 people a year -- or nearly a third of one million
malaria deaths on the continent.
And it seeks to get the HIV and AIDS message across in an
easy-to-understand way for children in Africa, the continent worst hit by
the virus.
One of stars, golden furry five-year-old Kami, a girl muppet, is
HIV-positive herself. Another, fuzzy blue male muppet Zobi, owns a yellow
taxi and has an obsession with yams, a staple food in Nigeria.
In one episode Zobi gets entangled in a mosquito net, insisting he's
protecting himself from catching malaria. Kami admonishes him, saying he's
is not supposed to "wear" it but to sleep under it.
"It's fun, it's humorous but it gets them (children) thinking about a
mosquito net and why there is a mosquito net in the first place," said
Yemisi Ilo, executive producer of the Nigerian series.
"Statistics show that at the end of the day malaria and HIV kill more
people in this part of the world than anything else," said Ilo.
Some 75 million Nigerians, or half of the population, get malaria at least
once a year while children younger than five -- around 24 million --
suffer up to four bouts annually, according to official statistics.
Muppet Kami's own mother died from HIV and she always wears the symbolic
red ribbon. But she's a resilient, jovial and affectionate little
character, a role aimed at fighting stereotypes about people with HIV and
AIDS rather than lecturing small viewers about the disease.
The 30-minute series to be aired twice weekly on Nigeria's national public
television, Nigerian Television Authority (NTA), premieres this Saturday.
Three seasons are planned, with the first entitled "We Can" to celebrate
the self worth and heritage of Nigerian children.
For US ambassador to Nigeria Terence McCulley, Sesame Square is set "to
inspire children to perceive learning as fun and a necessary pathway to
success, and to echo President Obama's 'Yes, We Can'."
The Nigerian series, funded by the US government development agency,
USAID, and the President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief (PEPFAR), is the
latest of some 20 international Sesame Street versions broadcast in 140
countries from Bangladesh to Kosovo.
Some of the Nigerian segments will feature original Sesame Street muppets
but with voice overs.
"What we have done is to dub over the American accented voices with
Nigerian voices so we have our own Nigerian Elmo, our own Nigerian Big
Bird, our own Bert, Ernie, Grover," said Ilo.
"That way we have consistency," she said, to avoid "watching the studio
segment of Kami and Zobi talking with Nigerian accents and then suddenly
it turns into an American accent."
Sesame Workshop CEO Gary Knell has said with Sesame Square, Nigerian
children "will see other children just like them engaging in exciting
activities and lessons that have the potential to foster a lifelong love
of learning."
Another African twist has been taken into account. In a country where many
of the 150 million people have no access to television or if they do,
don't always have electricity to power their sets, Sesame Square will also
distribute literacy kits targeted at some 80,000 children.

One thing I really miss in Cities XL (as compared to SC4) are ordinances.
Is there any way to reduce pollution in the city? I have the industry zone separated, but now that my city has grown to 3 000 000 inhabitants, not only are the zones getting closer, but the industry zone has expanded significantly as well.
I remember the "Clean Air Act" in SC4 could reduce pollution as much as 50%. So, how do I reduce pollution in CXL 2011? I tried placing lots of parks around the industry zone but the impact was negligent.

The Mouseketeers' prerogative, it seems, is to rage against the Disney machine that made them. In lieu of racy Vanity Fair photo shoots or leaked full-frontal iPhone pics, however, brothers Nick, 16, Joe, 19, and Kevin, 21, have given us their rebel yell in album form. Lines, Vines and Trying Times is the sound of a not-quite-quarter-life crisis, JoBros-style: heartthrob angst wrapped in glossy hooks, soaring pop-rock choruses, and (plus ça change) really great hair.
On their fourth release in as many years, the boys don't entirely topple their Tiger Beat pedestal, but with Lines' PG-13 sentiments and wailing guitars, they try hard to leave their tween-dream innocence behind. That leads, inevitably, to a few clunky metaphors: The pensive ''Turn Right'' compares life to NASCAR, while the admittedly addictive ''Poison Ivy'' equates love with ahem a bad rash. When the album's brash lead single, ''Paranoid,'' and the sprawling ''Don't Speak'' reach for a sort of baby-U2 grandiosity (The Joshua Shrub?), they nearly pull it off. Alas, even guest rapper Common can't save misguided bank-robber narrative ''Don't Charge Me for the Crime''; it's the sonic equivalent of being held at gunpoint by a baby rabbit.
Determinedly wholesome entries like ''Fly With Me'' and ''Keep It Real'' bow dutifully to the Jonases' younger fan base, but darker bits, such as the apparent Taylor Swift dis ''Much Better'' (''Now I'm done with superstars/And all the tears on her guitar.... You're much better''), cut through the NutraSweet. In the end, ruminative piano ballad ''Black Keys'' feels the most honest; its quiet brushstrokes of teenage despair easily transcend Lines' misdemeanor mutinies. B-

Brothers Leroy Henry, 22, of 706 South St. in Cleveland, and Antonio Henry, 19, of the same address, celebrated with family as the jury read their not-guilty verdict.
The pair was on trial to answer to the charges of armed robbery and possession of a deadly weapon by a convicted felon stemming from an incident that occurred on June 18, 2012.
According to the official police report, a man, who was later identified as Leroy Henry, jumped into a vehicle driven by Cornelius Robinson at around 4 a.m. as he approached the intersection of Cross Street and Chrisman Avenue in Cleveland.
Robinson alleged that Henry produced a gun and put it to his head.
The assailant ordered Robinson to drive to a location outside of the city limits where he beat his captive, rendering him unconscious and stole his car.
Law enforcement later received a call of a car fire near the intersection of White Street and Old Ruleville Road.
Upon investigation, authorities identified the vehicle as the one reported stolen by Robinson.
Cleveland Detective George Serio said that a tip from a citizen of Cleveland led to the Henry's capture.
"Somebody called into the station and said that they had seen Henry in the Church Street area near the park," said Serio. "The caller also gave a description of what the suspect was wearing."
Officers responded to the location and immediately identified Henry.
"When officers made the ID, a foot pursuit ensued," Serio continued. "The suspect was found shortly after hiding on the front porch of a residence in the neighborhood."
Antonio Henry had already been picked up and charged with armed robbery and possession of a deadly weapon by a convicted felon stemming from the incident.
In a separate case, a jury found Sammie Smith, age and address unknown, guilty of burglary of a dwelling stemming from an incident that occurred in November 2011, at 110 Canal St. in Shaw.
Webster sentenced Smith to serve 10 years in custody of the Mississippi Department of Corrections and five years of post release supervision for his crimes.

The original video has been deleted and is no longer available. Microsoft says CEO Ballmer to retire in 12 monthsNEW YORK (AP) - Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer, who succeeded founder Bill Gates as CEO, will retire within the next 12 months. The world's biggest software company did not name a successor. Microsoft Corp.'s stock shot up 9 percent in premarket trading following the news. Ballmer, 57, first met Microsoft founder Bill Gates in 1973 while they were living down a dormitory hall from each other at Harvard University. He joined Microsoft in 1980 to bring some business discipline and salesmanship to a company that had just landed a contract to supply an operating system for a personal computer that IBM would release in 1981. Ballmer did the job so well that he would become Gates' sounding board and succeed him as CEO in 2000.

James Cook (1728-1779) was Britain's greatest navigator. After receiving a modest education, he apprenticed at a small shop on the Yorkshire coast where he developed a love for the sea. Cook enlisted in the Royal Navy in 1755. Sent to America during the French and Indian War, he made soundings of the St. Lawrence River in preparation for the British attack on Quebec. Cook's notable charts of the St. Lawrence earned him a commission as surveyor of Newfoundland. In 1768 he was promoted and sent to the Pacific with an astronomical observation group where he surveyed Tahiti, New Zealand, and Australia. On his famous second expedition (1772-75) he explored Antarctica. In 1776 he undertook his third and final voyage in which he explored the West coast of North America and tried to locate a passage between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans. On this voyage he discovered the Hawaiian Islands (which he named the Sandwich Islands), and sailed up the coast of North America through the Bering Straits to the Arctic Ocean. He concluded that a usable passage to the Atlantic Ocean did not exist. On his return he was killed by Hawaiian islanders.
Cook's exploration of the Pacific coast was momentous, though fraught with errors. He missed the mouth of the Columbia River (then known as the Oregan River or River of the West), as well as the Juan de Fuca Strait, a passage into Puget Sound. He also mistook Vancouver Island for the mainland. Despite these oversights, Cook's third voyage significantly increased knowledge of and interest in the Northwest. Cook's chart of the Pacific coast served as a chief reference source for Nicholas King as he prepared his map of America for the Lewis and Clark Expedition in 1803. More significantly, Cook's widely read accounts of his voyage provided fascinating descriptions of the indigenous peoples in the Pacific Northwest and publicized the brisk trade between the Hudson's Bay Company and the Indians. Cook's almost incidental discovery of the sea otter trade—he found that the furs of the region's abundant sea otters brought enormous profits in the markets of Canton, China—sparked a race to the Pacific Northwest. Upon the 1783 publication of an unofficial account of Cook's third voyage and the release of the official account the following year, Britain, France, and the new United States joined Spain and Russia in the contest for control of the Pacific Northwest and the sea otter trade.
After the third voyage of Captain Cook, one of Cook's sailors, the American John Ledyard, wrote an unofficial account of the journey. Ledyard tried, unsuccessfully, to raise a fur-trading expedition to the Northwest in 1784-85. In 1785 he met Thomas Jefferson and the two quickly became friends. Jefferson, then ambassador to France, owned three unofficial versions of Cook's Third Voyage, including Ledyard's, as well as the official account of 1784. These accounts, as well as the renewal of French interest in the Pacific Northwest signaled by La Pérouse's expedition, strengthened Jefferson's commitment to finding a path to the Pacific. Jefferson, in fact, sponsored Ledyard's bizarre expedition of 1787-88 to cross Russia, travel to the Northwest coast of North America by ship, and then find a route to the Missouri by traveling from west to east. Ledyard got as far as Siberia before being arrested by Russian authorities under Catherine the Great.

6 ounces dried rice noodles (the Thai kind)
3 cloves garlic, grated
1 1/2 tablespoon grated ginger
zest of one lime
1/2 small onion, peeled and grated
3 tablespoons coconut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons chili powder
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 tablespoons gluten-free soy sauce
1 tablespoon tomato paste
1 cup water
1 Tbls. chili paste
1/2 cup organic sour cream
1 tsp. Real Salt
2 boneless skinless organic, free-range chicken breasts, cut into large chunks
garnish with fresh cilantro or parsley
* Cover the noodles with boiling water and set aside to soak for about 15-20 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the grated ginger, garlic, onion, lime juice, and cook, stirring occassionally, until most of the moisture cooks away and the paste is beginning to gently brown.
Add the chili powder and turmeric, and combine well into the paste. Continue cooking for 1 minute to marry the spices. Add the chicken pieces, stirring to coat with the paste and spices, then add the soy sauce, tomato paste, and water. Cover and simmer until the chicken is cooked through.
Using two forks, shred the chicken. Add the noodles, and toss well. Continue cooking until the noodles are completely soft and the sauce is a nice consistency. If too spicy, add more sour cream.
Serve hot with cilantro or parsley.

Totem Talk: Head of shaman healing for a day {WoW}
Sep 6th 2011 4:21PM About Spirit Link Totem:
I think this ability is very useful, however, the fact that I have to run up near the tank then drop it makes it difficult to use as an "oh crud" last second save button (a la lay on hands); therefore I end up using my big instant heal instead and often forego the totem all together. Personally I think it would be a lot more useful if the thing could be thrown near the target you've set focus on (which as the healer in the party more often than not is the tank).
Free for All: The end of physical media {Massively}
Aug 31st 2011 5:57PM @LucentWolf
I'm not sure you're a minority, and if you are, then I'm part of it too. The way I see it is that if I pay for a game I like to own the CD. I've paid for games before that were digital downloads only to lose the computer where it was and never be able to get the game again unless I paid for it again.
Ofcourse this has happened also with CD's where I've lost them too and then I was screwed (I shall always miss thee, Neverwinter Nights).
In any case, if it's F2P MMO's i'm a lot less concerned about not being able to get it again since as long as the game is alive I'll be able to get it, and if it dies I wouldn't be able to play it even if I owned the physical media for it.... but for single player games (i.e. Torchlight), I gotta have it. I paid for it and it's mine even if the company goes under.
The slippery slope: Analysing the decline of World of Warcraft {Massively}
Aug 31st 2011 2:41PM @Oskiee
I totally agree with you on that point. I have been playing WoW since Vanilla and the tone of the game has really changed.
I remember my leveling being challenging enought that it was to my great advantage to run it with one or two friends, now I can ROFLstomp through most mobs one or two levels higher. For instances I had to invite friends or go to the cities and actually talk to people and get them to join... now it's just done for me automatically.
The time before dungeon finder was harder, more frustrating, and much more time consuming, but it encouraged interaction now it only encourages grind.
Just my $.02
Breakfast Topic: The new Darkmoon Faire {WoW}
Aug 26th 2011 3:23PM I see your point. With no actual experience of the area it's hard to make a judgement, however, I have to say that just the advertised changes have made me want to go check it out. I've been playing WoW since Vanilla and I've visited the DMF once in that whole time, was totally underwhelmed, and never went back to see it again. This at least will get me to give it a second try.
The Daily Grind: What was the best change made to your favorite MMO? {Massively}
Aug 25th 2011 9:40AM I think the revamp for the entire leveling experience WoW: Cataclysm brought was my favorite change. I'm an altoholic and having a brand new experience to play through was very welcome. That and Old World flying, that was cool too :)
The Daily Grind: Are appearance tabs essential? {Massively}
Aug 23rd 2011 10:53AM @(Unverified)
I have to say that the lack of appearance tab almost made me quit WoW for other games where I can look like I want (LOTRO!), but now that it's coming I'm sticking around to see how it's implemented.
The way I see it is that if the devs gave us all that we want all the time right from the get go, we'd get bored of the game and demand even more outrageous features... this way the delayed gratification factor keeps people interested... or at least that seems to be the idea.
Breakfast Topic: What's the next big change? {WoW}
Aug 23rd 2011 8:48AM I think that's going to be one of the things introduced in the next X-pac. Considering that some of the leaders already have new models, I don't think it's a real stretch to see that as a sign of things to come.
In fact, I'd prefer to see that than a new race or even a heroic class.
Hopefully we'll also get a more robust character creation engine where we can adjust body mass, height, etc. Maybe not as detailed as EQ, but at least comparable to LOTRO.
Breakfast Topic: World of Prankcraft {WoW}
Aug 22nd 2011 8:57AM We had just decided to leave the boss Chimaeron for the next night's raid and our mage summoned a portal to Org. Since I noticed guildies chatting away in Vent and not paying attention, I threw a lightning bolt at the boss and grabbed the portal.
The swearing over vent was epic! I did pay for the repairs of those who died, but it was worth it.

Breakfast Topic: How will you use the transmogrification feature? {WoW}
Aug 18th 2011 9:40AM I'm so glad I held on to my Elements set! Ha, its so retro looking I just have to make it the default look for my Shammy healer. I may replace the shoulders with the Hexlord Shoulders from ZA. The jury is still out on what I want his Enhancement set to look like, but I'm kinda digging the Ten Storms shoulders, even though I used to have them and vendored them... might be worth the trip to get them again.
My DK's RP outfit is a Black Knight look alike, so that'll be his for both specs. Again, I'm thrilled I held on to my DK starting sword!

The State of Health Impact Assessments in the United States
The twelfth HIA International Conference held this week in Quebec will be the first to take place in North America. Health impact assessments (HIAs) bring together scientific data, health expertise and public input to identify potential health effects of proposed laws, regulations, projects and programs, providing decision-makers with the information they need to advance smarter policies for safe, healthy, thriving communities.
Alain Poirier, MD, chair of the conference local organizing committee and former minister of health and social services in Quebec says the location provides an excellent opportunity for Americans and Canadians, who have not attended this HIA conference in large numbers previously, to learn what is going on in the field across the world, particularly now that HIA is a burgeoning field in the United States. An updated map from the Health Impact Project, a joint program of the Pew Charitable Trusts and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, offers an updated look at HIAs completed or underway in the United States. According to the Health Impact Project, in 2007, there were only 27 completed HIAs in the U.S. but the map now counts 100 completed and more than 200 total HIAs. The built environment is the most popular field for HIAs in the country right now, with over 70 completed or in process, followed by transportation, agriculture and food, natural resources, and food and housing.
The map details some recent critical examples of HIAs in the United States:
Economic Policy: New Hampshire State Budget. An HIA will inform lawmakers on how funding changes in parts of the state budget might affect the health of residents.
Built Environment: San Pablo (CA) Corridor. This HIA addressed the health implications of placing affordable housing units along the San Pablo Corridor, a high traffic transit and retail corridor in Richmond and El Cerrito, Calif.
Housing: Trinity Plaza Housing Redevelopment. This HIA examined a proposed redevelopment project in San Francisco that would demolish an older apartment building with over 360 rent-controlled units, and replace them with 1,400 market-rate condominiums.
>>Recommended Reading: NewPublicHealth frequently covers emerging HIA projects across the country. Read about HIAs that examined the potential health impacts of:
- USDA nutrition standards; regarding impact on both student health and school budgets
- High energy costs and smart metering policies
- Low-income rental housing inspections
- Increased public transportation use
- Casino development

Gaya (Bihar), Oct.14 (ANI): Hindu devotees lit earthen lamps over the weekend as an obligatory duty ahead of the annual ancestor salvation worshipping ritual of Pind Daan, which falls during the Pitr-Paksha period (16-lunar day period as per Hindu calendar).
Pitr-paksha generally falls in the month of September or October every year.
Devotees were seen lighting earthen lamps and then placing them in a water body as a mark of respect for their forefathers.
Expressing their happiness, devotees in Gaya said they hope to enlighten their lives by paying homage to their ancestors through the ritual.
"We all have gathered here to celebrate the festival of lights 'Deepavali' in the memory of our ancestors after performing 'Pind Daan' (ancestors' salvation ritual) for them. By lighting lamps in their memories we hope that our lives are also enlightened," said a Hindu devotee, Manish Agarwal.
According to traditional beliefs, the eldest son of a family performs Pind Daan and pays homage to their ancestors (Pitrs), especially through food offerings.
People take holy dip in rivers and get their heads tonsured as a part of the ritual for the departed souls. The food is usually cooked in silver or copper vessels and placed on banana leaves.
Devotees also expressed gratitude to their forefathers for inculcating ethics and social values in them.
"I am very happy to be here today and do this ritual of lighting lamps. I cannot express my happiness and I feel indebted to our ancestors for inculcating values in us," said a Hindu devotee, Manju Patwari.
Devotees believe that once the ritual is performed, the souls of their ancestors shall be relieved of all the sins and they would be freed from the cycle of birth and death.
According to Hindu mythology, it is believed that when humans die, their mortal body turns to dust. However, the soul remains, until it does not find another mortal body to reside. The cycle of rebirth can cease and the soul can receive salvation, if these sacred rituals are performed. (ANI)

The San Luis Obispo County Regional SWAT team has surrounded a house in Arroyo Grande and think the man inside is tied to an armed assault.
Police and the SWAT team have been at the house on Creekview Court since 4:30 Wednesday afternoon. But they haven't made contact with the man.
Arroyo Grande Police Chief Steve Annibali says officers went to the home Tuesday night when they were looking for a suspect of an assault with a deadly weapon.
But, the swat team couldn't get into the house because they didn't have a search warrant.
They got a search warrant Wednesday and went back to the house.
They've tried to reach the man inside by phone and bullhorn, but have not gotten any response.
Officers are moving neighbors to and from their homes nearby.
Chief Annibali says he can't talk about the prior history of the suspect, but the history makes this a delicate situation.

EDGELL COLLECTION CID 2011 is designed, for a limited number of participants, to be a highly interactive and exciting workshop venue where participants may learn by doing. Actual instructional and delivery methods are varied and may include: traditional lecture, site tours, texts to be read and reflected upon, videos, case studies, large and small team exercises, surveys, individual worksheet exercises and personal sharing of experiences between participants. | CID 2011 Courses CID 2011 Lecturer Biographies. Course 1 Palm Springs, Modernism, and Innovation: An Historical Perspective Credits: 3 CEU hours Lecturer: Robert Imber This course directly exposes participants to the essential works that have made Palm Springs a mid-century architectural mecca. The course will cover a diverse mix of both famous and lesser-known "hidden" jewels with a focus on those works built during the modernist zenith from the 1940s through the 1970s. On tour, participants will see the creations of notable Architects including Richard Neutra, Donald Wexler, William Krisel, E. Stewart Williams, Albert Frey, and William F. Cody. Participants will learn about the particular aesthetic and technological features that made these works innovative. Also, the course will examine the underlying design principles and concepts, social context, and non-design stakeholders involved with the development of these pieces. During the course, participants will be exposed to insights, with an underlying intention to answer the question, "What can be gleaned from historical examples of innovative architecture, especially the inspiring landmarks of 'mid-century modernist' design found in Palm Springs?" Course 2 Green Innovation: Developing Sustainable Design Capacity Credits: 11 CEU hours Lecturer: Dr. Robert Edgell This course aims to prepare experienced Architects and other design leaders for the challenges of making their firms more capable of green innovation practices, especially sustainable design. Participants will learn about the organizational implications arising from emergent green innovation approaches including sustainable design, multi-stakeholder open innovation, integrated project delivery (IPD), and building information modeling (BIM). Under intense pressure to develop innovation capacity, design firms encounter obstacles that make transformation challenging. Participants will learn about a variety of options for successfully overcoming these potential barriers to change. The course will examine six legitimized and proven organizational change strategies accompanied by exemplary green innovation cases. Participants will also learn how to use diagnostic modeling and analytical frameworks to assist in selecting and implementing the most appropriate change strategy. Throughout the course, participants will be exposed to group behavioral theories and practical empirical knowledge as well as tools, with an underlying intention to answer the following questions: "What are the organizational implications of emerging green innovation processes?"; "What are the challenges that design firms encounter during transformations?"; "What are the various effective approaches for organizational transformation?"; "How should various stakeholder groups participate in the organizational transformation process?"; and "How might design leaders select and implement strategies for making their firms more capable of practicing sustainable design?" Course 3 Architecture and the Law: Intellectual Property and Sustainable Design Credits: 6 CEU hours Lecturer: Dr. Roland Vogl This course aims to prepare Architects and other design leaders for the strategic challenges associated with creative works and intellectual property. The quick pace of evolving laws makes it difficult for design professionals to adequately understand effective means for sharing, protecting, and monetizing their intellectual property assets. This challenge is especially complex for firms undergoing transformations to multi-stakeholder sustainable design approaches. Coursework will include a basic primer on intellectual property including copyrights, trademarks, and design patents for firms. Furthermore, the course will explore recent and emerging intellectual property licensing trends that are relevant for design firms, especially those relating to green innovation approaches such as sustainable design, integrated project delivery (IPD), and building information modeling (BIM). Throughout the course, participants will be exposed to legal rulings and recent cases, with an underlying intention to answer the following questions: "Which intellectual property should design firms share with external constituencies and which should be protected and kept within the firm?"; "How might design firms gain social and economic value from intellectual property innovations?"; and " What are the legal issues involved with new green innovation approaches, especially sustainable design and building information modeling (BIM)?" Course 4 Intelligent Sustainable Design: The Smart-Grid and Smart-Skin Movements Credits: 4 CEU hours Lecturers: Brett Brune and Anne Elliott (Elly) Merica This course aims to expose experienced Architects and other design leaders to current developments in intelligent energy technologies, especially emerging "smart-grid" and "smart-skin" technologies. Design firms are challenged by increasingly aggressive building codes and energy performance targets such as Architecture 2030, Net Zero Energy Buildings, and AIA 50>50. Outside buildings, new distributed and renewable energy sources will require equally efficient utility-scale energy distribution and management systems. In buildings, new technologies will enable intelligent feedback systems to be embedded in building components, especially building skins. The course will explore a variety of rapidly evolving "smart" technologies so that design leaders may be able to successfully respond to these external pressures. Participants will explore the sustainable design implications of external energy supply or smart-grid advancements such as distributed energy resources, two-way communications, information management, networked applications, and energy-management technologies. Participants will also learn about recent building component advancements such as smart-skin embedded energy distribution systems, sensors and controls, and solar energy capture technologies. During the course, participants will be exposed to recent and pending smart developments, with an underlying intention to answer the following questions: "What are the emerging smart-grid energy management trends and innovations affecting the environment outside buildings?"; "What are the recent smart-skin component advancements and technologies most impacting building design?"; "What are the implications for sustainably designing buildings that are compatible with innovative smart-grid and smart-skin energy technologies?"; and "How might design leaders better collaborate with technologists and others involved with rapidly evolving smart technologies?" Optional Leadership Evening Coaching Session Credits: This session does not count for MCE or LU credits. Facilitator: Ethan Hanabury As an added bonus, CID 2011 will provide participants with free coaching on general leadership and management challenges, especially those that arise when attempting to implement organizational change. During this optional session, attendees will have the opportunity to share their firm's leadership challenges and get ideas and support for addressing these issues from fellow CID participants and leadership coach Ethan Hanabury.

It's trivial to set up x86 chroot on amd64 box, so I can't imagine what's preventing people from creating such chroot, doing the testing and keywording themselves.

Mind That Diabetic Foot
Shobha Shukla, Citizen News Service Editor
Dr SC Misra Oration Award was conferred upon Dr Ajith Kumar Varma at the 55th Foundation Day of Department of Surgery (General), Chhatrapati Shahuji Maharaj Medical University (upgraded King George's Medical College - KGMC).
Dr Varma is an assistant Professor in the Department of Endocrinology at Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences in Kochi, Kerala. After serving the army for 15 years, he is doing excellent work in the field of podiatric surgery, related to the diabetic foot. I had the opportunity to meet him when he was recently in Lucknow to attend the 55th Foundation Day Celebration of Department of General Surgery, CSM Medical University. He charmed everyone with his suave manners and modesty, as well as his passionate zeal for improving the quality of life of those living with diabetes.
This article is based on an exclusive interview given by him to Citizen News Service (CNS, www.citizen-news.org ).
The concept of reconstructive and corrective surgery for the diabetic foot has evolved very recently, as a means to correct foot deformities. This latest technique is presently being practised in very few countries of the world. There are a few selected centres in the US, UK, Germany, Russia, Spain and Australia, with USA, which has 7 podiatric schools performing such operations, topping the list. In India, Amrita Institute of Medical Sciences, situated in Kochi, is the only institute doing this type of reconstructive surgery in high risk patients of totally deformed diabetic foot, thus obviating the traumatic need for amputations.
There is an entity called 'Charcot' in diabetic foot problems. In prolonged diabetic foot problems there is an increased blood flow to the lower limbs, due to autonomic neuropathy, which causes demineralisation of the bones. It is a tsunami like effect, just washing away the minerals of the bones. Moreover, it stimulates certain cells which simply eat up the bones. All this weakens the bones, and makes them soft and pudgy. This results in the collapse of the foot and ankle bones, making it impossible for the patient to walk.
Moreover, multiple increased pressure points are developed on the soles of the affected feet, where ulcers and calluses develop. These act as portals for entry of bacteria. As the cellular immunity of the patient is suppressed, even the slightest bacterial infection can cause a serious life threatening problem, so much so that if the patient is not given proper treatment within 24 to 48 hours of the infection setting in, it may result in amputations or even death.
Worldwide, 50% of all leg amputations happen to people living with diabetes. In India, an estimated 50,000 amputations are carried out every year due to diabetes related foot problems. By employing reconstructive and corrective surgical techniques, to correct the shape of the deformed feet and remove the high pressure points, a large number of such amputations can be prevented. Thus the patient can lead a near normal life, free from complications.
After having trained in the US, two years ago, Dr Varma has been performing different types of foot and ankle corrective surgeries, at the Amrita Institute, to normalise the shape and function of the grossly deformed diabetic feet. Last year, more than 25 such surgeries were performed. The best, amongst the 8 to 10 types of surgical techniques currently available, is the Triple Arthodesis Surgery, which costs around Rs 30,000. The costs of implants, titanium screws and suture fibre wires are additional. This, according to Dr Varma, is quite reasonable, especially when compared to the exorbitant fees charged in the USA for a similar operation.
Dr Varma and his team have developed a new 'Amrita Sling Technique' for foot stabilisation, a world first. This obviates many complications which routinely occur after the reconstructive surgery.
In normal corrective surgery of 'Charcot's Foot' (as is being done in the US and elsewhere), the patient has to rest for 4 to 5 months before they can start walking, as the bones need time to heal gradually. Moreover, during this period, an external fixture called 'Illazarov Frame' has to be fixed to the foot with screws and pins, penetrating the bones and flesh. When the patient starts walking, it is very likely for an infection to set in, paving the way for amputation.
But the Amrita Sling Technique, when applied after the reconstruction, results in quick normalisation of the gait bio-mechanics and ambulation of the patient. This reduces the long recuperation period, and also minimises the post operative complications. It has been successfully tested on 10 patients at the institute, who are now leading normal lives.
Apart from doing pioneering work in the field of podiatric surgery, the Amrita Institute happens to be the only one in Asia, offering three specialised courses under one roof, Dr Varma told CNS. It conducts a one year post doctoral fellowship programme in podiatric surgery with a view to train more doctors in this field. Another 4 year course in diabetes and diabetic foot surgery exists for MBBS students, as also a course for training paramedical staff for management of diabetic foot.
Dr Varma stressed the importance of proper and timely foot care and foot wear advice to patients, to prevent limb and life threatening infections. From the day the patient is diagnosed with diabetes, proper foot care and foot wear advice must be instituted to prevent further complications. As far as a good foot wear prescription is concerned, it has to be given with the utmost care.
Diabetic footwear is not an off-the-counter purchase. They are made of specific material, such as micro cellular rubber, micro cellular polymer, or ethyl vinyl acetate, which distribute pressure evenly on the surface, and prevent build up of pressure points, to avoid formation of calluses which are entry points for bacterial infection. Proper footwear should ideally be prescribed only after doing a pedopodogram, in which plantar pressure at each point of the under surface of the feet is measured. This is as necessary as testing the blood sugar levels of a patient before prescribing insulin or other oral medication.
With India earning the dubious distinction of being the diabetic capital of the world, Dr Varma rightly stressed the need for awareness about the complications of the disease in the public, in the patients, and, above all, in the primary care physicians, working in rural areas.
In his words 'Pick up the lesion at the earliest', so that the problem can be resolved without amputation. In developing countries, as in India, the amputation rate is over 45%, whereas in the USA, and also in patients at Amrita Institute, it is a mere 8.5%, thanks to the novel surgical techniques available. Not only this, as diabetes is a disease of the blood vessels, all the organs are affected, especially the heart, which is strained over 15%.
Even with the best of processes in place, there is 85% mortality, within 5 years of the amputation, due to cardiac arrest. Hence it is imperative to salvage the limb. Only then can we improve the quality, as well as quantity of life of patients, many of whom may be bread winners of their families.
Through good healthcare and informed self-care, it is possible to prevent diabetes-related amputations in the majority of cases. Prevention is always better than cure, more so in the case of diabetes.
