How to Create the Perfect Itinerary
Post Your Best Travel Photo!
It wasn't that long ago that many travel photos were taken, developed and then dumped into boxes, rarely to be seen again -- unless a basement flood forced someone to throw them all away. These days, things aren't so different except that now the photos get dumped onto external hard drives, perhaps to await a hard drive crash instead of the proverbial basement flood.
But in most collections of vacation and travel photos, a precious few of the very best shots are often spared this fate -- those photos that are somehow more enduring or more interesting, or (I think most importantly) that best capture the spirit and sensation of the trip. What is it that keeps these photos from the dustbin of our traveling history? Often they are simply better photographs. That is, the "keeper" photo isn't of a favorite person, place or activity -- it is better composed, better lit and thus simply more visually interesting than the run-of-the-mill vacation snapshot.
There are plenty of resources out there for folks with thousands of dollars of photographic equipment, but what about the rest of us -- those of us with a point-and-shoot digital camera or even simply a smartphone? What can we do to get better, more lasting images from our travels? Following is a collection of low- and no-tech tips to help you improve your keeper count on your next trip.
Think "people, places, things."
This old definition of the use of a noun is a handy guide to a great vacation photo: the best travel photos will often be about all three of these. To illustrate, let's say you want to take a photo of the Tower of London, and it's a rainy day in England. If you pull up your photo and snap the Tower in the gray light, you could get a decent photo. But if you put your kids in the photo (your favorite people) with the Tower glimpsed over their shoulders (the place of interest), visible just under the rim of an umbrella (a very specific thing that evokes the conditions), you have a great shot.
Get closer.
As Robert Capa famously said, "If your pictures aren't good enough, you're not close enough." Taken literally, the closer you get to your subject, the more detail and interest you can capture.
There are a couple of ways to do this, both equally valid and effective. One is to use the telephoto features found on most cameras to zoom in on your subject. Before anyone cries cop-out, this can be a very effective photographic technique, and has resulted in countless compelling images in this age of big lenses.
The other is simply to walk closer to your subject. Not everyone is comfortable doing this, but the person viewing the photo will appreciate it; despite how close a zoom lens makes things appear, when viewing a photo the human eye can still sense the distance, and appreciates when an image has truly been taken up close.
Be in the thick of it.
A less literal read of Capa's statement, and probably the one closer to his intent, suggests that Capa likes photos in which the photographer himself or herself seems to be part of what is going on, and not standing apart from the action. Capa's solution to get more intimate, engaged photos is simply to be more intimately involved in the photo yourself.
Think about the light, not the view.
The human eye is vastly more adaptable and clever than the lens of your camera, and what you see when you are standing in front of your intended subject may not be what your camera ultimately reproduces. When staring directly into the sun, you may be able to make out colors and people, but your camera is going to reproduce mostly shadows. Or when shooting into shadows, you may be able to see features, but your camera will reproduce a lot of dark stuff. In these cases, it helps to ...
Know where the sun is.
The easiest way to flatter your subject is to put it in the best light. If you want your subjects' faces to shine, turn them so the sun is shining on their faces. If you want your photo of your cruise ship to look like the brochures, take the photo on the sunny side of the ship. Alternately, if you want to catch the glistening of light on the ocean, take the photo when the sun is low enough to bounce off the waves.
Consider the time of day.
This is a fairly simple story -- there's no time like sunrise or sunset to take compelling, interesting and even stunning travel photos. Sunrise in particular can produce very striking images, in part because most people are not awake at the crack of dawn, and so can still be surprised by a sunrise photo.
Turn the camera on its side.
In some situations, turning the camera on its side to take a vertical shot is just not good composition, it is almost essential -- when taking a photo of the Space Needle, for example. But taking vertical shots also has an added benefit: it will enhance the interest of your overall photo collection considerably, adding geometrical variety as folks flip through your vacation album.
Fill the frame.
When giving instructions to new photographer hires, I always tell them that the interesting parts of the scene should start at the left edge of the viewfinder and end at the right edge. That is, the subject should absolutely fill the frame such that the edges of the photo will include as little superfluous imagery and information as possible.
I find this tactic offers a couple of distinct advantages. First, the intended subject of your photo is absolutely clear to anyone who sees the photo. And second, the photo becomes a thing apart from how we usually see the world, which is more or less in 180-degree panorama thanks to our peripheral vision. A photograph can isolate and amplify our experience, which turns out to be one of the attractions of travel itself, as well.

Andre Jules Dubus II (August 11, 1936 - February 24, 1999) was an American short story writer, essayist, and autobiographer.[1]
Andre Jules Dubus II was born in Lake Charles, Louisiana, the youngest child of Katherine (Burke) and André Jules Dubus, a Cajun-Irish Catholic family. His two elder siblings are Kathryn and Beth. His surname is pronounced "Duh-BYOOSE", with the accent falling on the second syllable, as in "profuse". Dubus grew up in the Bayou country in Lafayette, Louisiana, and was educated by the Christian Brothers, a Catholic religious order that emphasized literature and writing. Dubus graduated from nearby McNeese State College in 1958 as a journalism and English major. Dubus then spent six years in the Marine Corps, eventually rising to the rank of captain. At this time he married his first wife and started a family. After leaving the Marine Corps, Dubus moved with his wife and four children to Iowa City, where he later graduated from the University of Iowa's Iowa Writers' Workshop with an MFA in creative writing, studying under Richard Yates. He admired Hemingway, Chekhov, and Cheever.[2]
Dubus's life was marked by several tragedies. His oldest daughter was raped as a young woman, causing Dubus many years of paranoia over his loved ones' safety.[3] Dubus carried personal firearms to protect himself and those around him, until the night in the late 1980s, when he almost shot a man who was in a drunken argument with his son, Andre, outside a bar in Haverhill, Massachusetts.[4]
Dubus was seriously injured in a car accident on the night of July 23, 1986. He was driving from Boston to his home in Haverhill, Massachusetts, and he stopped to assist two disabled motorists—brother and sister Luis and Luz Santiago. As Dubus assisted the injured Luz to the side of the highway, an oncoming car swerved and hit them. Luis was killed instantly; Luz survived because Dubus had pushed her out of the way. Dubus was critically injured and both his legs were crushed. After a series of unsuccessful operations, his right leg was amputated above the knee, and he eventually lost the use of his left leg. Dubus spent three years undergoing a series of painful operations and extensive physical therapy. Despite his efforts to walk with a prosthesis, chronic infections confined him to a wheelchair for the remainder of his life, and he battled clinical depression as a result of his condition. Over the course of these struggles Dubus's third wife left him, taking with her their two young daughters.
To help Dubus with mounting medical bills, Andre's friends and fellow writers Kurt Vonnegut and John Updike held a special literary benefit. Dubus continued to write, producing two books of essays and a collection of short stories, and conducted a weekly writers' workshop in his home, meeting with a group of young writers.
Dubus spent his later years in Haverhill, until his death from a heart attack in 1999, at age 62. He is buried in Greenwood Cemetery, near where he lived, in Haverhill, Massachusetts.[5]
He married three times and fathered six children. His son Andre Dubus III is also an author, whose most noted book is the novel House of Sand and Fog (1999), both a finalist for the National Book Award and the basis for an Academy award-nominated film of the same title. In 2011, Andre Dubus III published a memoir of his life, Townie, which tells of growing up in Haverhill and deals extensively with his relationship with his father and the impoverished conditions faced by his mother and siblings following her divorce from Andre Dubus.
Although he did write one novel, The Lieutenant, in 1967, Dubus considered himself primarily as a writer of short fiction. Throughout his career, he published most of his work in small, distinguished literary journals such as Ploughshares[6] and Sewanee Review. Later in his career he placed stories in magazines such as The New Yorker and Playboy. Andre remained loyal to a small publishing firm run by David R. Godine that published his first works. When larger book publishers approached him with more lucrative deals, Dubus stayed with Godine, switching only to Alfred A. Knopf towards the end of his career to assist with medical bills.
Dubus's collections include: Separate Flights (1975), Adultery and Other Choices (1977), Finding a Girl in America (1980), The Times Are Never So Bad (1983), Voices from the Moon (1984), The Last Worthless Evening (1986), Selected Stories (1988), Broken Vessels (1991), Dancing After Hours (1996), and Meditations from a Movable Chair (1998). Several writing awards are named after Dubus. His papers are archived at McNeese State University and Xavier University in Louisiana and at the Harry Ransom Humanities Research Center at the University of Texas in Austin.
After Dubus's death, his story "Killings" was adapted into Todd Field's In the Bedroom (2001) starring Sissy Spacek, Tom Wilkinson, and Marisa Tomei . The film was nominated for five Academy Awards – Best Picture, Actor in a Leading Role (Wilkinson), Actress in a Leading Role (Spacek), Actress in a Supporting Role (Tomei), and Best Writing, Screenplay Based on Material Previously Published (Robert Festinger & Field).
The 2004 movie We Don't Live Here Anymore is based upon two of Dubus' novellas, "We Don't Live Here Anymore" and "Adultery." [7]

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
A cancer survivor is a person with cancer of any type who is still living. Whether a person becomes a survivor at the time of diagnosis or after completing treatment, whether people who are actively dying are considered survivors, and whether healthy friends and family members of the cancer patient are also considered survivors, varies from group to group. Some people who have been diagnosed with cancer reject the term survivor or disagree with some definitions of it.
How many people are cancer survivors depends on the definition used. About 11 million Americans alive today—one in 30 people–are either currently undergoing treatment for cancer or have done so in the past.[1] Currently nearly 65% of adults diagnosed with cancer in the developed world are expected to live at least five years after the cancer is discovered.[2]
Many cancer survivors describe the process of living with and beating cancer as a life-changing experience.[3] It is not uncommon for survivors to use the experience as opportunities for creative self-transformation into a "better person" or as motivation to meet goals of great personal importance, such as climbing a mountain or reconciling with an estranged family member. This process of posttraumatic growth is called benefit finding.[4] Cancer survivors often have specific medical and non-medical needs related to their cancer experience.
Macmillan Cancer Support in the UK defines a cancer survivor as someone who is "living with or beyond cancer", namely someone who:
The National Coalition for Cancer Survivorship (NCCS) pioneered the definition of survivor as being any person diagnosed with cancer, from the time of initial diagnosis until his or her death. This expansive definition of "survivor" includes people who are dying from untreatable cancer. NCCS later expanded the definition of survivor even further to include family, friends and voluntary caregivers who are affected by the diagnosis in any way.[6] The US National Cancer Institute's Office of Cancer Survivorship uses a variant of this expanded definition.[6]
The word survivor is a loaded term.[3] Within the breast cancer culture, survivorship is conferred upon women who are perceived as having suffered emotional or physical trauma, even if their breast cancer was a non-life-threatening pre-cancerous condition like LCIS or DCIS. The term tends to erase and degrade people who are dying of incurable cancer. This idea of survivorship emphasizes and values longevity of life after diagnosis, while overlooking issues of quality of life.[3]
Some people reject the term survivor as being a narrow conceptualization of highly variable human experiences. Alternatives include alivers and thrivers, which put emphasis on living as well as possible, despite limitations and disability.[3] A third term, the diers, is used by some terminally ill patients who reject the claim that dying is part of survivorship or should be covered up with inappropriately optimistic language.[3]
The term previvor has been used to describe unaffected carriers, those who have not diagnosed with cancer, but have a survived the predisposition, or higher risk, of cancer due to certain genetic mutations.[7][8] As such, this is the first generation in human history who, armed with information about a predisposition to a cancer after opting into DNA testing, can make informed choices prior to cancer diagnosis. The typical previvor has tested positive for a BRCA mutation and learned that she is at high risk for developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer, and is attempting to manage that risk through a combination of increased surveillance through mammograms, breast MRIs, pelvic ultrasounds, oophorectomy, bilateral mastectomy, and other medical procedures. There has been much controversy over the term previvor, due to the fact that the name compares these healthy women to people have actually been diagnosed with invasive cancer.
People who have finished cancer treatment often have psychological and physical medical challenges.[9] These effects can vary from person to person, change over time, and range in intensity from mild and intermittent to fully disabling.
If the treatment is lengthy and disruptive, many patients experience some difficulty in returning to normal daily life.[10] The energy needed to cope with a rigorous treatment program may have caused them to disconnect from previous daily patterns, such as working, normal self-care, and housekeeping. A small number of patients become dependent on the attention and sympathy that they received during their treatment and feel neglected when life returns to normal. There are tremendous implications that cancer has on the relationships that survivors have with their loved ones (particularly their partners) once their cancer has been treated,[11] and social support plays a critical role in their long-term emotional adjustment.[12]
Some survivors, even if the cancer has been permanently cured, struggle emotionally from the trauma of having experienced a life-threatening disease.[13] Cancer survivors suffer from more psychological distress than those who have never experienced cancer (5.6% compared to 3.0%)[14] Serious psychosocial distress was seen 40% more among cancer survivors of five years or more than in those who have never had cancer.[14] About 10% develop major depressive disorder; others experience an adjustment disorder.[13] In young adult cancer survivors, one small study found that 20% of participants met the full clinical diagnosis of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), and 45% to 95% displayed at least one symptom of PTSD.[15] Survivors of adult cancer are at an increased risk of suicidal ideology (having thoughts about suicide),[16] while as many as 13% of childhood cancer survivors experience suicidal ideology.[17] Issues of pain and physical ailments have been hypothesized as major contributing factors in cancer survivors experiencing this suicidal ideology.
Other patients have to adjust to the idea that they will never be cured, or that the cancer could return without warning. After the initial treatment has ended, anxiety is more common among cancer survivors than among other people.[18] The effect is more pronounced among female cancer survivors.[18] Many patients are anxious that any minor symptom indicates that the cancer has returned, with as many as 9 in 10 patients fearful that their cancer will recur.[1] In addition to the appearance of any new aches and pains, common triggers for fear include hearing that someone else has been diagnosed with cancer, annual medical exams to determine whether the cancer recurred and news stories about cancer.[19] This anxiety leads to more medical check ups, which can be measured even after a period of up to ten years.[20]
The cultural ideal of a survivor may add to individual patients' distress if the patient is unable or unwilling to live up to the ideal.[3] The ideal survivor is bravely committed to mainstream medicine and optimistic or even certain of a physical cure. He or she is open about diagnosis and treatment and becomes an educated, empowered medical consumer. The ideal survivor, like a superwoman who simultaneously manages her home, family, and career, struggles valiantly to prevent cancer from affecting loved ones by appearing, behaving, and working as much as possible. Once the immediate crisis is past, the person may feel strongly pressured to donate time, money, and energy to cancer-related organizations. Above all, the ideal survivor does not die of cancer. People who publicly conform to this ideal are given social status and respect.[3]
In terms of medical challenges, some survivors experience cancer-related fatigue, may have long-term side effects from cancer and its treatment, and may need extensive rehabilitation for mobility and function if aggressive surgery was required to remove the cancer. They may experience temporary or persistent chemo brain. Some young survivors lose their ability to have children.
Cancer survivors frequently need medical monitoring, and some treatments for unrelated diseases in the future may be contraindicated. For example, a patient who has had a significant amount of radiation therapy may not be a good candidate for more radiation treatments in the future. To assist with these needs, "survivor care plans" have been promoted. These are personalized documents that describe the person's diagnosis and treatment in detail, list common known side effects, and specifically outline the steps that the survivor should take in the future, ranging from maintaining a healthy weight to receiving specific medical tests on a stated schedule.[21]
Survivors of childhood cancer have a life expectancy up to 28% shorter than people in the general population.[22] Therefore, there is a need to closely monitor these patients for much longer than usual. The Children's Oncology Group recommends that monitoring should include periodic follow up and screening by a clinician familiar with these patients' risks. Improving these patients' longevity requires recognition and treatment of illnesses associated with late effects in the decades after therapy for childhood cancer. For example, survivors of childhood cancer may have more difficulty than typical with breastfeeding and require more support to undertake this health-promoting activity.[23] Others experience various forms of heart disease. One challenge to achieving this goal is that childhood cancer survivors are both very adaptable and accustomed to denying difficulties; as a result, they tend to minimize their symptoms. Therefore, internists may not give them all the attention they need and thus the actual help they may need. Symptom management, health promotion, specific attention to psychosocial needs, and surveillance for recurrence and specific late effects of treatment are helpful.[22]
Adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors, often defined as being between the ages of 15-39, have seen advancements in technology and modern medicine causing a dramatic increase in the number of AYA survivors. Prior to 1970, being diagnosed with cancer during childhood was considered a universally fatal disease. From 1995 to 2000, however, the 5-year survival rate for children diagnosed with cancer was 80%.[24] Significant progress has been built in the last 25 years as there are now approximately 270,000 survivors of pediatric cancer in the U.S., which translates to approximately 1 in every 640 young young adults being a survivor of childhood cancer.[25][26] However, as studies have shown, as patient needs increase, the likelihood of having an unmet need also increases.[27] For the AYA population, 2 out of 3 childhood cancer survivors will develop 1 complication due to the therapy they received and 1 out of 3 will develop serious or life-threatening complications, meaning they will most likely need treatment and follow-up care.[28]
An AYA survivor, faces a variety of issues as a result of their cancer diagnosis and treatment that are unique to their particular age group which differentiate their survivor population from the adult survivor population. For example, AYA survivors report that their education, employment, sexual functioning,[29] marriage, fertility, and other life values are impacted by their cancer.[30] Data show that AYA survivors have a much greater risk of getting a second primary malignancy as a side effect of the treatment for their original diagnosis. It is believed that AYAs have a much higher relative risk of developing a second primary cancer because the intensity of the treatment for their original diagnosis, typically including any combination of chemotherapy, surgery, and radiation, is much higher than the level of intensity given to patients over 40.[31] Furthermore, since AYA survivors are diagnosed and treated at such a young age, their length of time being a survivor is much longer than their adult counterparts, making it more likely they will face a second primary cancer in their lifetime.[31]
Childhood cancer survivors, in particular, need comprehensive long-term follow-up care to thrive. One way this can be accomplished is through continuous follow-up care with a primary care physician that is trained to identify possible late effects from previous treatments and therapies.[32]
The Children's Oncology Group (COG) has designed a set of survivorship guidelines that hope to aid both health care professionals and survivors themselves, in both the intricacies and basics of long-term follow-up care. The COG has guidelines for how a patient should put together their own "treatment summary", so they can have their treatment history with them when they visit any health care provider. The COG suggests that a survivor include the following in his/her treatment summary:
With the treatment summary, experts hope that survivors will be better equipped to face the significant burden of maintaining quality follow-up care long after their original treatment. This is especially important for the AYA population, in particular, because they are typically facing major social changes regarding their relationship status, employment or education status, their insurance coverage, and even their place of residence, etc. Typically, most of these factors are pretty constant for the adult population and if they experience any changes, it would occur in one or two aspects of their life. However, with the AYA population, the period of time until they are 40 is when they are going to, for the majority of the population, undergo the most change. This reality underscores the importance of a smooth transition from child-centered to adult-focused health care services through which they are consistently managed.[34]
The US Affordable Care Act (ACA) in 2010 makes it illegal for health insurance providers to deny coverage for a pre-existing condition, such as previously having survived cancer.[35] Young adults will now be required to have insurance coverage and, with a few exceptions, will be able to be covered under their parent's coverage until the age of 26 as a dependent in their parent's plan.[35]
Studies among endometrial cancer survivors show that satisfaction with information provided about the disease and treatment increases the quality of life, lowers depression and results in less anxiety.[36] People who receive information on paper, compared to oral, indicate that they receive more information and are more satisfied about the information provided.[37] The American Institute of Medicine and the Dutch Health Council recommend the use of a Survivorship Care Plan; which is a summary of patients' course of treatment, with recommendations for subsequent surveillance, management of late effects, and strategies for health promotion.[38]
Family members are affected by the cancer experience of their loved ones.
In the years after successful treatment, spouses of cancer survivors are more likely than other people to experience anxiety.[18]

Deadpool Movie in 2016
The Deadpool movie that was announced a few years ago fell in development in limbos. But the project is now back on the front burner and there's even a release date! Yep, the film is now set to hit theaters on February 12, 2016.
Unfortunately they're going to tame down the language of the merc with a mouth… From what I heard they're indeed aiming at a PG-13 rating… Understandably 20th Century Fox wants to reach a large public. But don't worry: a PG-13 rating, depending on the team behind the film, is no real hindrance to produce an edgy movie.
Anyway, check out this earlier test footage, it was done using motion capture with Actor Ryan Reynolds: Continue Reading »

Springer out of Astros' lineup again
Astros rookie outfielder George Springer was out of the lineup for a second consecutive game Tuesday with soreness in his right knee/quadriceps area.
Springer, who hit his 20th homer Saturday and didn't play in Sunday's series finale against the White Sox, did some baseball drills prior to Tuesday's series opener at O.co Coliseum to test the leg and still had enough discomfort that didn't allow him to play.
"I went out and did some stuff and just got some discomfort and we'll take it from there," Springer said.
When asked if was his knee or quad that was bothering him more, Springer said it was "overall discomfort." He wasn't sure when he would be able return to action, but as of now the situation doesn't appear to warrant a stint on the disabled list.
"I don't have a clue," he said. "I just got to get through it and see what happens."
Astros manager Bo Porter waited until Springer finished working out with the trainers before filling out his lineup, which again had Enrique Hernandez in center field.
"We wanted to allow him to get treatment and the training staff brought him out and went through some drills, and we went through some running and feel if he's not able to go full speed without having discomfort, we don't want to take any chances of it getting worse or him blowing his quad or doing something where we're dealing with an injury that will take much longer to heal than where we're at right now," he said.
Porter said the DL currently isn't an option.
"As time goes on, the information we get each and every day will allow us to make that decision as we move forward," he said. "When you look at the 15-day DL, you have to ask yourself, 'Is he not going to play within the next 15 days?' and we're not at that point right now."
Castro suffers injury setback
Astros catcher Jason Castro, who missed all of last season after undergoing major knee surgery, will miss the first part of Spring Training after undergoing surgery Friday to remove the sesamoid bone in his left foot.
The injury, which Castro suffered in the Arizona Fall League last month, is similar to the injury suffered a year ago by former Astros second baseman Jeff Keppinger, who had surgery to remove the sesamoid bone Jan. 14 and returned to action in late May.
Castro isn't allowed to put any weight on the foot for a couple of weeks and won't be ready for action when pitchers and catchers report Feb. 20, but he is hopeful to be healthy for Opening Day. He hit .205 with two homers and eight RBIs in 195 at-bats in his Major League debut in 2010.
"The timing couldn't have worked out any more perfectly, as far as having something happen," Castro said. "You never want anything like this to happen. It gives me time to get healthy and basically have the entire Spring Training to get back in shape."
Still, the injury casts some uncertainty over Houston's catching situation entering spring camp. Castro, the club's first-round pick in 2008 out of Stanford, is slated to be the starter next year in what would be his first full season in the Major Leagues.
Humberto Quintero got most of the starts at catcher last season and on Monday was re-signed to a one-year, $1-million deal, plus bonuses, to avoid arbitration.
Quintero, 32, hit .240 with two homers and 25 RBIs in 79 games last season and has started 147 games the past two years. The Astros have added catching depth by claiming catcher Craig Tatum off waivers from the Orioles in October and they recently re-signed Carlos Corporan to a Minor League deal with an invitation to Spring Training.
Castro, 24, missed all of last season after undergoing surgery to repair a large tear in the meniscus and a reconstruction of the ACL. He suffered the injury early in Spring Training when he stepped awkwardly on first base while running out a ground ball in Lakeland, Fla.
Castro doesn't know exactly when his current injury occurred, except that the foot began bothering him in the Arizona Fall League title game.
"That's when I noticed it," he said. "They've told me two-to-three months is about normal for a full recovery. I'm kind of looking right in there and looked at the calendar. It looks like I won't miss much of anything. Three months puts me in the first week of Spring Training games, and hopefully if all goes well I won't miss anything as far as playing time and all that."
Castro, hit .289 in 12 games for the Salt River Rafters of the Arizona Fall League with a .404 on-base-percentage.
Sunday morning Astros update
I'm back from a respite in Houston and am in Kissimmee for the rest of the spring, so expect frequent updates. Anyway, I'll have a story later today on the rash of injuries that's taken over the club the last few days, but here's a quick rundown:
- 1B Lance Berkman had fluid drained from his knee Saturday, one week after undergoing arthroscopic surgery to clean out some loose cartilage. Berkman is walking with a limp and is still sore, but he's not ruling out returning by Opening Day.
- RHP Alberto Arias will undergo a precautionary MRI on Monday. Arias has been diagnosed with a shoulder strain and has lost some velocity on his fastball. The Astros want to get a better look at the shoulder to find out what's going on.
- SS Tommy Manzella, who was diagnosed with a strained quad, is out of baseball drills again today. Manzella said he's going to take it slow and will be out a few days. General manager Ed Wade told him Sunday morning he didn't want him to be "Braveheart."
- CF Michael Bourn was held out of Sunday's game because of a strained oblique. Bourn said he was sore, and he did do some bunting in the batting cage. He's listed as day-to-day, but Wade said he won't play until he's 100 percent.
- RF Yorman Bazardo, who strained his shoulder a week ago, has been throwing on the side while the training staff works to improve his range of motion.

Your questions are probably better answered on the Alsa mailing lists.
Dear All,
I have some doubts on the ALSA programming,
1)My ALSA driver supports minimum Period Bytes size as 32 bytes, but when i set the period size as 512 bytes it is always setting to 1024 bytes.I am using the function "snd_pcm_hw_params_set_period_size_near()" . What might be wrong here?Is the function what i am using correct?
2)How the Library functions and the Driver functions interact, what is the interface between the library functions and driver functions?Is there any document which explains this. I got a document which explains how to write ALSA driver.But it does not mention the interface with the library.
3)How Can we achive MIC and LINEIN switching using the mixer?What library function do i need to use to achive this?
4)If i want to get the Timestamp for each buffer captured, what library function should be used?
Any help on these things is appreciated.
Thank you in advance.
Your questions are probably better answered on the Alsa mailing lists.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
This article needs additional citations for verification. (September 2009) |
The Space Canine Patrol Agents, or SCPA (not to be confused with the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals), is a group of fictional anthropomorphic extraterrestrial canine superheroes that appeared in stories published by DC Comics.
Contents |
The SCPA first appeared in Superboy (volume 1) # 131. Several of the dogs were given alliterative names which also described their powers: i.e. Paws Pooch was able to increase its number of limbs, Prophetic Pup could predict the future using his "crystal ball cranium", Tail Terrier had an elastic tail, etc.
The team was something of a parody of the Legion of Super-Heroes, with enemies such as the "Phanty Cats".
Their battle cry and sacred oath, with which they began all meetings, was
The first line parodies the Yale chorus: "Bulldog, bulldog, bow-wow-wow".
They are presumed to have been wiped out of existence after the Crisis on Infinite Earths. They have appeared once in a superhero limbo in Grant Morrison's Animal Man "Deus Ex Machina", where characters that have been written out of continuity reside. While visiting here, Merryman of Inferior Five stated to Animal Man that even if some of these characters may be brought back, times have changed where the Space Canine Patrol Agents (as some of the other animals) will not likely return.[1]
However, with Krypto's status as the El family dog from Krypton restored, it remains to be seen if they'll ever be reintroduced into the mainstream continuity or even alluded Krypto ever joined them.
It was never confirmed which of them is the leader.
A version of the team appears in the 2000s Krypto the Superdog animated series under the name the Dog Star Patrol. Their battle cry resembles the Space Canine Patrol Agents, but goes:
This version includes:
Note: The original seven Dog Stars (Brainy Barker, Tail Terrier, Mammoth Mutt, Hot Dog, Tusky Huskey, Bull Dog, and Paw Pooch) are never seen as a group of seven on the show. Instead the Dog Stars seem to be on a rotation, usually Brainy Barker and five or less of the other dogs.

Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa stopped by the "On Air with Ryan Seacrest" studio on Monday morning to talk about "Carmageddon," which is the nicknamed penned for the closure of the 405 freeway this weekend, July 16 and 17, and what we can do to survive the weekend.
Mayor Villaraigosa gave of the rundown of what we can expect during the early stages of "Carmageddon" on the evening of July 15th, and how to help everyone prepare for its effects.
Mayor Villaraigosa 5 Traffic Beating Tips During "Carmaggedon"
"Friday July 15 at 7pm we are going to start closing the off ramps between the 101 and the 405, by 10pm they'll close traffic lanes and by midnight they will close the entire freeway. The freeway will be closed until Monday July 18th at 5am and the ramps won't be re-opened in that area until 6am. This is 53 long hours."
Mayor Villaraigosa had some suggestions for what people can do during this time "We are asking people to stay home, we are asking them to BBQ, to listen to re-runs of Ryan Seacrest, they should get on a bike, walk, but you just don't want to be in that area."
Ashton Kutcher & Kris Jenner Use Twitter To Bribe LAPD [AUDIO]
However, for those who do have to go into the area, Mayor Villaraigosa is recommending public transportation."You can use the subway for free as well as the buses in the valley and on the west side and in the west valley area. You can go to the MTA website to get more information, but you will be able to use public transportation for free during that 53 hour period."
Mayor Villaraigosa also explained that every effort will be made to get project done by Monday. There will be a unified command center set up and Mayor Villaraigosa will actually be there from time to time on Saturday and Sunday.
7 Ways to Still Have Fun During the Carmaggedon
Mayor Villaraigosa has reached out to Lance Armstrong and other celebrities, and he has asked them to tweet to help spread the word. Other celebrities that have also tweeted about "Carmageddon" include, Ashton Kutcher, Kris Jenner, and Kim Kardashian.
"We need to inform the public to make sure that this goes and smoothly as possible. It doesn't have to be "Carmageddon," in fact this could go rather smoothly if people just take heed of the fact that we are going to close a section of the freeway that everybody uses."

Fall has arrived as well as this season's hot color trends…not only will you see the traditional rich chocolates and honey gold's but a spicy tangerine, bright chartreuse and berry, as well as steel grey, Victorian lilac and a soft blush tone.
From rustic chic to vintage and glam, why not change up your holiday event tables and surprise your guests with something a little different this year! When we think of Thanksgiving, for example,
the traditional table might incorporate ivory, gold or pumpkin color palettes to coordinate with the culinary palate. Your table linens will compliment the food being served…why not make the food compliment the table décor?
Layering is not only a trend in fashion but also in table top design…many design styles can be achieved whether you have a Farm Table, banquet or round. From simply layering a few runners to using multiple layers like a full-length table covering with an overlay and runner(s), you can create a beautiful table that will wow your guests! Then, accessorize with a punch of color in your napkin and/or chair sash.
Lace, embroidered sheers, brocades, metallic's and organic looking fabrics like burlap and faux silks can help create a country chic, vintage inspired, or ultra-glamorous design. The collage above incorporates a few inspirational tables utilizing this season's color trends!
Let us know if you need any assistance mixing and matching colors, textures or prints for your upcoming holiday events! Email email@example.com or contact our designer email@example.com!

How to Make a Gift Basket for the Gourmet Connoisseur
If you have someone in your life for whom fast food is a four-letter word or who eschews common supermarket items because of their inferior quality, then you probably have difficulty choosing gifts – or inviting them over for dinner! Solve your problems with a gourmet gift basket (like the ones shown on this site) designed for the food connoisseur. Rather than spending a small fortune on pre-made gourmet gift baskets, assemble your own to delight your girlfriend or boyfriend.
The trouble with gourmet foodies is that they can probably tell if you go to your local supermarket and get some cheese with a fancy label. This makes them incredibly difficult to shop for – but not impossible. How do you satisfy their Danish Brie cheese tastes on your American cheese slice budget? It's easy: go local. With locally grown and locally produced items, you can create a gift basket that is pleasing and affordable.
No matter where you live, there are local specialties and products. In Vermont, for instance, you could easily create your gourmet's gift basket with pure maple syrup, award-winning cheddar cheese, fresh goat cheese, Vermont wine (like ice wine), and fresh breads. In Georgia, you can create a scrumptious basket with local peaches, peanuts, and Vidalia onions. You could include homemade preserves and jellies, and a bottle of Georgia vintage wine. You can find local treasures in any area of the country.
You could visit a farmers' market and pick up all the ingredients needed to make salsa or a big vegetable soup. Simply assemble these in a basket, add the recipe on a printed card, and leave it to your connoisseur to enjoy. If your food lover loves to eat rather than cook, assemble a basket of fresh veggies and fruits with a homemade dill dip and some bread and cheese. All of this is delicious, natural, local food, and all of it should satisfy the palette of any gourmet. And best of all? It's affordable!
Another money-saving idea is to look for inspiration online. Search "gourmet food on a budget," and you will find endless recipes that sound far more expensive than they really are. For instance, you can make a basket which features ingredients for one or two of those meals. Here is a recipe for Middle Eastern Couscous, as an example.
Assemble for the basket:
• A small jar of olive oil.
• ½ cup of raisins. Put these into a half-pint canning jar.
• A clump of garlic (local if you can get it!)
• 1 ½ cups packaged couscous. You can either include the box or measure the amount and put it into a jar with a label.
• A small food baggie with a seasoning mix of: ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon, ¼ teaspoon ground cumin, 1/8 teaspoon coriander, and ¾ teaspoon of salt. You can put this into a decorative paper envelope and label it for a nicer look or you could simply buy a bottle of each spice for the recipient.
Put the following instructions with the basket on a printed card:
• Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and add the raisins, 1 minced garlic clove, and spices. Cook and stir for about a minute.
• Add the couscous to the pan with 2 cups of boiling water.
• Stir with a fork, cover tightly, and remove from the stove.
• Let the mixture stand for about 5 minutes.
• Take the cover off, fluff the couscous with a fork to mix all of the ingredients together.
• Enjoy!
You can substitute any recipe you like, but the idea is to give them the tools (the inexpensive tools) with which to create their own gourmet dishes.
Gourmets may have expensive tastes, but you don't have to break your budget to accommodate for them. Try these ideas next time the food connoisseur in your life needs a gift.

Protest delay in release of 19 fishermen detained by Sri Lankan Navy
Rameswaram fishermen with their family members staged a rail roko, detaining the Chennai-bound Sethu Express for an hour at Thangachimadam, near here on Saturday.
Protesting against the delay in releasing the 19 fishermen arrested on March 13, about 3,000 fishermen, including 1,000 women and children squatted on the tracks, holding up the train from 5.10 p.m. to 6.10 p.m. according to officials.
The fishermen, who have been on strike from March 13, urged the State and Centre to take speedy action to secure the release of the fishermen, presently lodged in Anurathapuram prison.
President of the Rameswaram Port Mechanised Boat Fishermen Association, N. J. Bose and District Secretary, Tamil Nadu Mechanised Boat Fishermen Association, P. Sesu Raja faulted the Centre for not taking any initiative to secure the release of the fishermen even after the State government withdrew cases against five Sinhalese fishermen and ordered their release.
They said Collector K. Nanthakumar held a meeting with the leaders of fishermen associations on Saturday morning and urged them to give up the agitation, stating that the government was taking steps to secure the release, but they were not convinced and decided to go ahead with the agitation.
They said the fishermen had warned of a rail roko agitation on March 22, when they staged a demonstration after laying siege to the head post office here.
"As the Lankan court has extended the remand, we are forced to go ahead with the rail roko agitation," he said.
Mr. Sesu Raja told The Hindu that the leaders would meet on Sunday to decide whether to continue the strike.
As only few days of fishing are left before the 45-day ban comes into force, the fishermen might call off the strike and resume fishing on Monday, he indicated.
The Sri Lankan Navy had detained 19 fishermen on the night of March 13 and 34 fishermen the following morning, for allegedly fishing in Sri Lankan waters after crossing the International Maritime Boundary Line. When the State government lodged its protest, the Lankan authorities released 34 fishermen, while remanding 19 in judicial custody.

Emily Jaeger Williams looks like a healthy young woman, but a slow heartbeat caused her problems for years.
Her husband, Jason, unknowingly diagnosed her condition years ago. "He would listen to my heart and say it was slow," said Williams, 31, of Paducah.
Unfortunately, Williams didn't know that diagnosis was medically accurate until she passed out at home in February.
"I've had a tendency to pass out ever since I was little," she said. "I would just pass out at random times. At first, we thought I was hypoglycemic, but I wasn't. Then I was diagnosed with panic attacks."
Williams, a customer service representative at Holland Medical, now believes the panic attacks were a symptom of her anxiety over fainting.
On Valentine's Day morning, Williams was walking to her bedroom when she fainted and hit her head on the floor. Her husband, who was preparing to take their son, Nicholas, 6, to school, called 911.
"I don't remember collapsing," she said. "My husband said I stopped breathing for 30 seconds. When I woke up, the paramedics were there."
Williams was transported to the Western Baptist Emergency department, where she was diagnosed with a slow heartbeat. The next day cardiologist Stephen Young, M.D., implanted a MRI-safe pacemaker.
Williams was adopted from South Korea when she was 2, so she doesn't know if family history contributed to her slow heartbeat.
"Congenital problems with the electrical system of the body are sometimes hereditary and sometimes not," Dr. Young said. "It is rare to have a slow heart rate at 31, but the condition that causes it is not rare."
Williams has returned to work with a new peace of mind after the diagnosis and treatment. "It was affecting my daily life," she said. "Now I feel normal. I don't live in fear of that feeling anymore."
