Chinese Medicine
Skip to the navigationTopic Overview
What is Chinese medicine?
Chinese medicine is a system of medicine partly based on the idea that an energy, called qi (say "chee"), flows along pathways in the body called meridians. In this belief, if the flow of qi along these meridians is blocked or unbalanced, illness can occur. In China, doctors have practiced Chinese medicine for thousands of years, and it is gaining in popularity in many Western countries.
Causes of qi imbalance are thought to involve:
- External forces, such as wind, cold, or heat.
- Internal forces, such as emotions of joy, anger, or fear.
- Lifestyle factors, such as poor diet, too little sleep, or too much alcohol.
Another important concept in Chinese medicine is the concept of yin and yang. In this approach, all things, including the body, are composed of opposing forces called yin and yang. Health is said to depend on the balance of these forces. Chinese medicine focuses on maintaining the yin-yang balance to maintain health and prevent illness.
Chinese medicine doctors look at the balance of body, mind, and spirit to determine how to restore qi, the yin-yang balance, and good health.
What is Chinese medicine used for?
People use Chinese medicine to treat many illnesses from asthma and allergies to cancer and infertility. Chinese doctors may use several types of treatment to restore qi balance.
Chinese medicine therapies include:
- Acupuncture, which uses thin metal needles placed along the body's meridians.
- Acupressure, which uses the hands or fingers to apply direct pressure to points along the body's meridians.
- Chinese herbs, combinations of herbs, roots, powders, or animal substances to help restore balance in the body.
- Cupping, which uses warm air in glass jars to create suction placed on areas of the body to help stimulate qi.
- Diet. Yin and yang foods can help restore the yin-yang balance in the body.
- Massage (tui na) on specific areas of the body or along the body's meridians.
- Moxibustion, which uses small amounts of heated plant fiber (moxa, or Chinese mugwort) on specific areas of the body.
- Qi gong, which uses movement, breathing techniques, and meditation.
Is Chinese medicine safe?
Research in China and worldwide has shown Chinese medicine to be helpful for many types of illness. Because Chinese medicine differs from Western medical practice in diagnosis and treatment methods, it is difficult to apply Western scientific standards to it.
For example, in Western medical practice, any two people with a similar infection (such as sinusitis) may be treated with a standard course of antibiotics. In Chinese medicine, each person might receive a different treatment for the same illness depending on the person's own qi and yin-yang balance.
The United States accredits schools in Chinese medicine, so a practitioner certified by an accredited school has had extensive training in Chinese medicine.
The National Institutes of Health, through the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM) and other institutes, funds ongoing research of many complementary therapies to determine their benefits and risks. Acupuncture has been the most studied of Chinese medicine treatments and has become accepted as a therapy for certain conditions in the United States. Promising results have been found for the use of acupuncture in treating nausea and vomiting related to chemotherapy, postsurgery pain, and pregnancy. Acupuncture also may be useful for other conditions such as addiction, stroke rehabilitation, headache, menstrual cramps, tennis elbow, low back pain, carpal tunnel syndrome, and asthma. In general, acupuncture is safe when done by a certified acupuncturist. The treatment can be expensive and time-consuming.
Like conventional medicines, Chinese herbal medicines may also cause side effects, trigger allergic reactions, or interact with other prescription and nonprescription medicines or herbs. Before you use any Chinese therapies, be sure to tell your health professional about any prescription, nonprescription, or other natural supplements you are taking.
Always tell your doctor if you are using an alternative therapy or if you are thinking about combining an alternative therapy with your conventional medical treatment. It may not be safe to forgo your conventional medical treatment and rely only on an alternative therapy.

New economic chief nominated for Manchester, gets Mayor Gatsas' nod
"I have the utmost confidence that Mr. Craig is going to perform the duties required of the position and, believe me, I know he's going to work hard, being a lifelong member of the city of Manchester," Mayor Ted Gatsas said. "I think he's going to be an asset to us for an awfully long time."
Craig's nomination will be taken up at the Oct. 1 full board meeting; eight aldermen will have to vote to approve it. Should he be confirmed, he would start in mid-October at an annual salary of $67,890.40, according to the Mayor's Office.William Craig started as a legislative aide to Hassan while she was the state Senate President Pro Tem in January 2007, according to his resume. He also worked on her campaign for governor and on her transition team before being appointed policy director. He holds a law degree from Suffolk University Law School.
In other business, the board agreed to appoint Patricia Cornell to serve the remainder of the Ward 11 Board of School Committee seat vacated when Jason Cooper resigned. Cornell begins her term today.

I used the open source nv driver, started X.org. The EDID was present in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as a hex dump.
There has got to be a way to do it. On x86 there is ddcxinfo, read-edid, ddcprobe. But none of these utilities work on amd64. How to do it There has to be some way.
Do you guys have any idea how to get the ddc/edid data from a monitor on amd64?
I used the open source nv driver, started X.org. The EDID was present in /var/log/Xorg.0.log as a hex dump.
Run the command startx -- -logverbose 5 from the console.
The EDID information turns up in /var/log/Xorg.0.log (or /var/log/XFree86.0.log).
On my amd64 box I get something like this:
Code:--- EDID for Philips 170S (CRT-0) --- EDID Version : 1.3 Manufacturer : PHL Monitor Name : Philips 170S Product ID : 2078 32-bit Serial Number : 693129 Serial Number String : CF 693129 Manufacture Date : 2003, week 32 DPMS Capabilities : Standby Suspend Active Off Prefer first detailed timing : Yes Supports GTF : No Maximum Image Size : 340mm x 270mm Valid HSync Range : 30.0 kHz - 82.0 kHz Valid VRefresh Range : 56 Hz - 76 Hz EDID maximum pixel clock : 140.0 MHz Established Timings: 640 x 480 @ 60 Hz 640 x 480 @ 72 Hz 640 x 480 @ 75 Hz 800 x 600 @ 56 Hz 800 x 600 @ 60 Hz 800 x 600 @ 72 Hz 800 x 600 @ 75 Hz 1024 x 768 @ 60 Hz 1024 x 768 @ 70 Hz 1024 x 768 @ 75 Hz 1280 x 1024 @ 75 Hz Standard Timings: 1152 x 864 @ 70 Hz 1152 x 864 @ 75 Hz 1280 x 960 @ 60 Hz Detailed Timings: 1280 x 1024 @ 60 Hz Pixel Clock : 108.00 MHz HRes, HSyncStart : 1280, 1328 HSyncEnd, HTotal : 1440, 1688 VRes, VSyncStart : 1024, 1025 VSyncEnd, VTotal : 1028, 1066 H/V Polarity : +/+ --- End of EDID for Philips 170S (CRT-0) ---
The above info on EDID does not seem to be that well known.
Is there somewhere else I should post the above comment?
By the way,.. you can find a list of known good modelines here:
These have proved very helpful to me.
I can't believe we still need to edit display resolutions and frequencies ourselves. This is 2008 for crying out loud.
Believe it or not. The need to manually edit display resolutions and frequencies is a "design feature" that, for some 15 years now, has made Linux much harder to install and use, than say, windows.
This "design feature" (after some 15 years) is being phased out by simple programs that read the EDID and then deliver the wrong resolution,... "by mistake," of course.
This "design feature" has been bought to your local dedicated team from Linux Saboteurs Inc.
Yes you may wonder why it has taken 15 years to write a very simple piece of software that would read the EDID and set the correct resolution, etc, in the Xorg.conf file. And,... we are nearly there,... if only the simple piece of software could read the stored resolution and set it, rather than set some other resolution. O.K.,.. sometimes this works, but it is broken in a lot of cases.
You may also wonder why the best Linux filesystem (Reiser4) has been actively sabotaged and kept out of the Linux kernel.
You may wonder why the kernel NTFS filesystem (the windows filesystem) driver for Linux was removed from the kernel and thrown away (about 1999) and a (slower) user-space driver for the NTFS filesystem, not developed till 2006/7.
By the way Reactos still uses the discarded NTFS kernel driver (that has been kept from Linux users for many years) and it works fine.
You may wonder why video and audio has a long history of stuff-ups in Linux. Ask Microsoft, the RIAA and MPAA if they know anything about this.
Ask Linus why he tossed the kernel NTFS driver away.
Ask Linus why he wouldn't allow Reiser4 into the kernel.
Ask Linus if he really only cares about technical issues, when it is clear he is up to his neck in various political issues.

Only Red Hat did not include the ntfs driver which actually is inside the kernel. For read access that was enough and it could change files - but you could not add much more data to a file as that would have required some changes to the filesystem which where not supported. There was another userspace driver much before ntfs-3g (called ntfs-fuse) but the main developer went to Apple and then the development was done privately, therefore ntfs-3g was the 3rd generation driver.
Sorry but you are completely wrong.
Are you deliberately confusing the (essentially) READ-ONLY and READ-WRITE ntfs drivers that existed back about 1999/2000.
Red Hat stopped including the READ-ONLY ntfs driver (that all other distros include).
Red Hat never included the (almost fully functional) READ-WRITE ntfs driver of 1999/2000.
The READ-WRITE ntfs driver was thrown away by Torvalds (but it is still used in ReactOS).
Last edited by Jade; 06-04-2008 at 08:53 PM.
This is wrong as well.
The ntfs-3g userspace driver uses the FUSE (filesystem in user space) API to do its thing.
NTFS-3g needs FUSE to run.
FUSE was not (and has never been an NTFS driver, in itself).
Maybe you are confusing FUSE with ntfsprogs package from http://www.linux-ntfs.org (which are userspace programs which now include read-write functionality).

Eight-run first inning dooms Porcello, Tigers
DETROIT -- Rick Porcello had gone his first 14 2/3 innings of the 2012 season having only allowed three runs. In one-plus inning of work on Saturday against the Rangers, that number tripled.
The defending American League champions cruised to a 10-4 win over the Tigers, tagging Porcello for nine runs -- eight earned -- on 10 hits before manager Jim Leyland pulled him with nobody out in the second.
It is the first time a Tigers pitcher has given up nine runs in a start while recording no more than three outs since Nate Cornejo did so against the Mariners on July 20, 2003.
"I was the most disappointed one in the ballpark today," Porcello said. "I know I can go out there and beat those guys and pitch well against them. I just wasn't able to do it today."
Part of that, he said, is because the Rangers are red-hot. Texas entered the first game of Saturday's day-night doubleheader having scored 34 runs in its previous three games.
Any questions as to whether the Rangers would keep that momentum rolling were answered in the first inning, when they batted through the order and scored eight runs. The first seven batters reached base safely and four crossed the plate before Porcello recorded his first out.
The 23-year-old said after the game that he didn't believe he was particularly wild, and for the most part, he pounded the strike zone and had good command.
"For a lot of those guys, I hit my spots," he said. "They just hit it hard. ... It's just one of those things [where] I wasn't able to come up with an answer."
Porcello had an 0-2 count on three of the first four hitters but couldn't put them away.
Ian Kinsler was in the hole before hitting a leadoff infield single that deflected off Porcello's hand. Elvis Andrus fought back from 0-2 and walked, then Josh Hamilton made Porcello pay by blasting a four-seam fastball into the right-field bleachers for a three-run homer.
It was another case in which Porcello believed he made his pitch.
"That was just a great piece of hitting," he said. "Really, I can throw that pitch 100 times, and I couldn't put it in a better spot."
Adrian Beltre, Michael Young, Nelson Cruz and Daniel Murphy would all reach before Mike Napoli -- who homered for his fifth straight game in the eighth inning -- struck out.
Four more Rangers batted before Porcello finally ended the brutal inning, inducing Hamilton to ground out to second base.
In the second inning, Porcello allowed three straight hits and a run before being replaced by left-handed reliever Duane Below.
"When he made mistakes, we hit the ball hard," said Murphy, the Rangers' left fielder, basically echoing Porcello's theory. "When he threw good pitches, we found holes."
Below threw six scoreless innings of relief, the longest outing by a Tigers reliever since Steve Sparks threw 7 2/3 innings on June 1, 2003.
"He went five or six innings for us and saved our bullpen," said catcher Gerald Laird of Below's effort. "If anything, we can look at that as a bright note."
The Tigers tried to fight back against Rangers' starter Matt Harrison. In the fourth, Austin Jackson broke out of an 0-for-16 slump with a solo homer. Delmon Young hit an RBI double later in the inning to make it 9-2.
In the eighth, right after Harrison was removed, Miguel Cabrera hit his fourth homer of the season, a two-run shot, to make it 9-4, but the eight-run first inning proved too big of a hole.
"We just couldn't stop the bleeding in that first inning, and it just got out of hand," Leyland said. "It was pretty much a disaster."

We celebrated one of our favorite days of the year, Record Store Day, with our favorite record store (duh), Origami Vinyl in Los Angeles' eastside neighborhood of Echo Park. I can say with no hesitation that Origami set the bar for Record Store Day in Los Angeles some years back, and continued their winning streak in 2014. The thing we love about Record Store Day at Origami, is it is an ALL day hang with DJs, bands, and rad people. KCRW's Anne Litt, Kat Corbett from KROQ, and Rodrigo Amarante of Little Joy were among a few who kept the vinyl vibes high with DJ sets throughout the day. GOOD TIMES all around!

One of our favorite labels for reissues is Light in the Attic Records. We love digging in the bins for hours too, but sometimes you time is of the essence, and what's wrong with a nice, fresh, reissue? Absolutely nothing! We just picked up this Betty Davis album, "They Say I'm Different," which is amzing. Here is a little excerpt from Light in the Attic's website on Betty.
"One can hardly imagine the genre-busting, culture-crossing musical magic of Outkast, Prince, Erykah Badu, Rick James, The Roots, or even the early Red Hot Chili Peppers without the influence of R&B pioneer Betty Davis. Her style of raw and revelatory punk-funk defies any notions that women can't be visionaries in the worlds of rock and pop. In recent years, rappers from Ice Cube to Talib Kweli to Ludacris have rhymed over her intensely strong but sensual music."
We have been pumping CAYUCAS in our ear cans in the office ALL summer. We had the chance to connect with the Cali gents at SXSW this past March, which seems forever ago now!
Thanks to our friend, photographer Jeffrey Jones and The Wild Magazine for the 45Bv2 headphones on model Barabara Fialho. Grab a pair for yourself right HERE!

Adrenocortical carcinoma is cancer of the adrenal cortex. The adrenal glands are two glands located above each kidney. The glands produce important hormones. These hormones regulate heart rate, blood pressure, and many other vital functions, including response to stress and infection. The adrenal cortex is the outside layer of the two adrenal glands.
Cancers of the adrenal cortex are rare. The majority of these tumors produce excess hormones. The excess hormones can change hormonal balance.

There are few known risk factors for cancers of the adrenal cortex. A genetic defect may cause adrenocortical cancer in some children, but the majority of cases are nonhereditary.
Approximately 40% of people with adrenocortical carcinoma do not secrete any hormone. These people do not have any specific symptoms. Adrenocortical carcinoma is discovered as part of a physical examination for abdominal pain.
Other tumors are hormonally active. Excess hormones may produce symptoms such as:
You will be asked about your symptoms. A medical and family history will be collected. A physical exam will be done.
Your bodily fluids may be tested. This can be done with:
Images may be needed of your bodily structures. These can be made with:
After cancer of the adrenal cortex is confirmed, you will be referred to an oncologist. This is a cancer specialist.
Additional testing will be done to determine what stage the cancer has reached. The stage of a tumor is determined by its size and how far it has spread from its point of origin.
Treatment depends on the stage of the tumor and your overall health. Talk with your doctor about the best plan for you.
The following methods are used to treat cancer of the adrenal cortex:
Surgery to remove the adrenal tumor is the first treatment approach for most cases. Surrounding tissues or lymph nodes that contain cancer cells may also need to be removed.
These treatments tend to be less effective in treating this type of cancer. They are most often used if the cancer has spread. Chemotherapy may also be used if there is a high chance the cancer will come back.
If treatment is successful, you will still need to be screened for reoccurrence of the cancer on a periodic basis.

Peyton Manning, shown here with Jerome Bettis and Papa John's CEO John Schnatter, enjoys some Papa Joh's pizza during a commercial shoot at Lucas Oil Stadium. / AJ Mast, AP
Peyton Manning's wife recently entered the NBA ownership business. Now Peyton is entering the pizza business.
Manning signed a deal to open 21 Papa John's locations in the Denver area, the Associated Press reports.
"It's a smart investment now and will be long after I'm done playing football," Manning said.
Manning has worked with Papa John's in the past. In February, he participated in the Super Bowl XLVI Coin Toss Experience promotion. More recently, he has starred in a Papa John's commercial trying to get CEO John Schnatter to give away two million pizzas.
"He's the kind of partner we're looking for, not only in marketing but in business," Papa John's chief marketing officer Andrew Varga said of Manning.
"The pizza category is fun. Our founder has fun when he gets into the commercials," Varga said. "You throw Peyton into that mix with the NFL platform and it makes it easy to execute lighthearted commercials that are very much in character for both."

Carolina Challenge Cup
Even if its a preseason tournament, its nice to see the Fire atop these standings:
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Chicago Fire | 2 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 3 | +2 |
Houston Dynamo | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 4 | 4 | 0 |
Charleston Battery | 2 | 0 | 2 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 5 | -2 |
But as I spoke to Chicago-Fire.com contributor Irish Steve Thursday about the scenarios for the team to clinch the Carolina Challenge Cup Saturday, one potential scenario had my head spinning.
To be clear, with two wins in their pocket, a draw or win in Saturday's first game vs. Vancouver (live at 4:00pm on Chicago-Fire.com) would give the Fire their first Challenge Cup title.
But should the team lose, say 1-0 to Vancouver and Houston beat Charleston by the same score in the tournament finale, the Fire, Dynamo and Whitecaps would then be tied not only on points, goal difference (first tie breaker), goals scored (second tie breaker) and goals against (third tie breaker).
Under that scenario, the table would look like this:
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Chicago Fire | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Houston Dynamo | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 6 | 5 | 4 | +1 |
Charleston Battery | 3 | 0 | 3 | 0 | 0 | 3 | 6 | -3 |
Head-to-head would be next best solution, right?
Well consider in that circumstance the Fire beat the Dynamo (3-2 win), the Dynamo beat Whitecaps FC (2-1 win) and potentially Whitecaps FC would have beaten the Fire (1-0 win), i.e., they would all share three points in the mini-group between the three MLS teams.
With the results of each matchday pairing with each other, the goal difference in the mini-group would be even but then, the next most logical tie-breaker (what I would call the seventh tie breaker) would be goals scored in the mini-group, which would potentially give Houston the title.
Team | GP | W | L | D | Pts. | GF | GA | GD |
Houston Dynamo | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 5 | 5 | 0 |
Chicago Fire | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 3 | 3 | 0 |
Vancouver Whitecaps FC | 2 | 1 | 1 | 0 | 3 | 2 | 2 | 0 |
However, after speaking to Battery President Andrew Bell post-game Wednesday, it seems the tie-breaking procedures beyond goals against are pretty fuzzy...
Good reason for the Fire to take care of business against Vancouver Saturday afternoon, though I hear Frank Klopas is pretty lucky in coin flips!

Fire Preseason Check List:
* Some good wins
* Very few injuries
* Plenty of seafood
* Seeing team bond
* A trip to the adidas outlet for some new kicks
* A new found appreciation for salad
These have all been accomplished. Though as we come to the end of preseason, it occurred to me that not one prank has taken place.
Thankfully, Wells Thompson came through after last night's game and Michael Videira was there to capture it for us...
Sega assures me he's planning his revenge. Stay tuned, our last days in Charleston could be interesting...
Last August I wrote about Reid Strain, a forward out of the Fire U18 Youth Academy team who earned the chance of a lifetime when he was called up for the Puerto Rican senior team in their 2-1 friendly loss to World and European champions Spain.
Though he didn't play in that match, Strain appears to be a budding star in the Puerto Rican setup and tallied another goal for the nation's U-20 side this week during CONCACAF World Cup qualifying in Puebla, Mexico.
Trailing 1-0 to Jamaica on Tuesday, Strain tallied the 22nd minute equalizer below before the Reggae Boyz hit back with three second half goals to win 4-1.
WATCH: Reid Strain tallies for Puerto Rico U-20s
The Fire had a lot of youth representation in Charleston this past weekend...
Five Chicago-based Academy teams, along with three from the Indiana Fire Academy and one team from the Kentucky Fire Juniors all took part in the Carolina Challenge Academy Cup this past weekend.
The Chicago-based teams did best, going a combined 13-1-3 over the weekend and taking the tournament titles at U14, U16 and U18 level.
I took a break from first team training Monday to cover the U16 and U18 games. Read my recap here and check out select shots from their matches below...
As they have the previous two years, the Chicago Fire ventured to the Three Lions Pub inside Blackbaud Stadium for the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup kickoff luncheon Friday afternoon. The Fire were joined by hosts the Charleston Battery and the Vancouver Whitecaps at the luncheon while Saturday's opponents Houston were set to arrive into the Palmetto State later on Friday.
As I walked around admiring the wall-to-wall memorabilia inside the pub, I realized there were more than a few reunions occuring in the room...
First off was Fire assistant coach Mike Matkovich catching up with defender Jay DeMerit. Matkovich led the Fire PDL side when DeMerit played for it in 2001 and even appeared in "Rise & Shine: The Jay DeMerit Story" to talk about his memories of Jay...
A little further down the way, I spotted a Tottenham reunion as Fire trialist Pascal Chimbonda met up with Whitecaps defender Young-Pyo Lee. The two often manned the defensive flanks together for Spurs while at White Hart Lane from 2006-2008.
Finally, just as I turned around, I spotted Fire midfielder Daniel Paladini talking to his former manager and current Whitecaps head coach Martin Rennie. The Scotsman was the one that brough Paladini to the second division Carolina RailHawks from Chivas USA in 2009 where the pair would spend two seasons together.
To finish the pleasantries Rennie, Fire head coach Frank Klopas and Battery manager Mike Anhaeuser did the annual trophy photo-op.
On to Saturday's first doubleheader featuring the Chicago Fire taking on the Houston Dynamo (if they show) at 4pm CT on Chicago-Fire.com. The Battery will host the Whitecaps in the second game at 6:15pm CT.
Was nice to wake up to this news this morning that U.S. international and current Aston Villa first-choice 'keeper Brad Guzan would like to return to MLS one day and potentially suit up for his hometown Chicago Fire.
A product of Homer Glen, Ill., Guzan was quoted as saying, "Hopefully, I will get the opportunity, when I'm finished playing in Europe, to go back and play in it.
"Especially being from Chicago, which has a team. I'd love to go back and play for the Chicago Fire in front of friends and family. That would be pretty neat."
Guzan of course teamed with current Fire forward Chris Rolfe on the Chicago Fire PDL side that went a near perfect 17-1-0 en route to the league's regular season championship that year.
Having played two seasons at the University of South Carolina, Guzan left college to sign with MLS and was picked second overall by Chivas USA in the 2005 MLS SuperDraft.
At just 28 years old and with the Fire having a 'keeper in Sean Johnson who is nipping at his heels for the number two spot with the U.S., Guzan won't likely return stateside anytime soon but would likely be a welcome addition for many a Fire fan down the road...
Touching down in Charleston earlier today, the team ate lunch and took in a bit of the Real Madrid/Manchester United Champions League match before heading out to their first training session in the Palmetto State.
Due to heavy rain in the area the past few days, the team's regular spot at Charleston Southern University wasn't in shape for a session so the squad ended up at Blackbaud Stadium's Training Field.
With this being our third straight year to Blackbaud, I've often wondered about the adjacent field which has the stadium on one side and a pond on the other... I wondered because when I saw it before, it had warnings about potential alligators.
Well, today I wondered no more as one of the resident gators (lets call him Charlie) was there to greet us and watch the entire 90-minute training session from just behind one of the goals. Luckily, everyone's shots were very accurate and on frame today...
Check out this video of the players reaction to Charlie and photos from day one of training below...

The MLS Regular Season Schedule may not yet be out, but the Fire already have three opponents scheduled for next eyar after the Charleston Battery released the match schedule for the 2013 Carolina Challenge Cup.
Participating for the third straight season in one of North America's top preseason tournaments, the Fire will open up the tournament with an MLS Cup playoff re-match with the Houston Dynamo on Saturday, February 16 at 5:00pm ET (4:00pm CT).
See below the full tournament schedule:
Saturday, February 16
Chicago Fire vs. Houston Dynamo, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
Wednesday, February 20
Houston Dynamo vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Chicago Fire, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
Saturday, Feb 23
Chicago Fire vs. Vancouver Whitecaps FC, 5 PM/4 PM CT
Charleston Battery vs. Houston Dynamo, 7:15 PM/6:15 PM CT
If you've never been to the Charleston Battery's home at Blackbaud Stadium, I highly recommend heading south to catch a Fire match and take in the amazing Three Lions Pub. Tickets for the tournament go on sale next Monday, December 3 at 9am CT via www.charlestonbattery.com or by calling (843) 971-GOAL (4625)

John,This is a tough one to nail & it's hit & miss. FWIW my starter batch last week was also an Epic Loss. It was the 1st & last time I use Caputo Red for pizza in Teglia. To me, the best mix is 85/15 Manitoba to Semola. Keep at it bro! Hopefully Katie can shed some light.BTW: How are the pans? Mine are still on backorder.Matt
Oops I missed the most important links:http://www.elizabethminchilliinrome.com/2011/01/making-pizza-dough-with-gabriele-bonci.htmlhttp://www.elizabethminchilliinrome.com/2011/01/pizza-as-canvas-creating-toppings-with.html
Jet_deck,For your first attempt I think you did great! Norma
There is an article on Slice by Adam Kuban, this morning on Pizza Roma in NY. The articles show pictures of the dough.http://slice.seriouseats.com/archives/2011/01/greenwich-village-pizza-roma-roman-style-pizza-manhattan-nyc.html#continuedNorma
Could someone tell me what the green things are on top of this pizza in teglia? Dried Celery spines? Probably not. Thanks in advance.http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php/topic,1690.msg28913.html#msg28913
John,Well, failed might be a bit strong! Like your recent pie, the Pizza Roma pie seems to a denser crumb. I wonder if that is typical for their place. Their dough certainly looks pretty hydrated. Maybe 96 hrs is too long and the gluten looses it. I'm liking 85% HR or so. On the other hand, isn't the "Gabriel" recipe like 70% HR. That dough certainly looks easier to deal with.Do you like your blue steel pans? Does one need to cure them somehow like cast iron?Paul
Awe-inspiring. Did you do anything differently from the last one?JLP

REVIEW: 300: Rise Of An Empire
There is one reason and one reason only to see this : Eva Green. Best known as a Bond girl, after "300: Rise Of An Empire", she will forever be known for one of the most outrageous sex scenes ever. Or, should I refer to it as a battle scene. This is definitely NOT making love. This sex is making WAR. Eva Green is beyond fierce as the battle-leading Artemisia. She is deliciously sinister and makes everyone else on screen fade into the background. And that's hard to do considering the beyond perfectly chiseled body after body after body. I'm talking both sexes. The nudity starts maybe 30 seconds into the film.
Like "300", this movie lives by CGI. Unlike "300", this time the humans look real, not CGI-cartoonized. That was my problem with "300". The digitized bodies.
The prequel is frenetically gory. So if you're gonna take it in, do it right : in 3-D and Imax.
I promise: you will never forget Eva Green.

Photo by Mark Zuckerman / NATS INSIDER
The Nats and Giants play the rubber game at AT&T Park this afternoon.
SAN FRANCISCO — OK, the above photo is totally misleading. I took it yesterday, when the sun was shining and the backdrop was beautiful. Today, it's gray, overcast and currently pouring. The forecast is not promising at all. But since this is the final game of the series (and the Nationals don't make another trip here this season) they're going to have to do whatever they can to try to get this game in.
If and when it does get underway, Jim Riggleman will have a totally new-look lineup out there against Giants left-hander Barry Zito. Justin Maxwell is in center field, Cristian Guzman is in right field, Ryan Zimmerman and Adam Dunn have been flip-flopped and Carlos Maldonado is behind the plate.
Check back for updates throughout…

I know it's a day game after a night game on the west coast, so I understand putting in some backups. But after lighting up one of the best pitchers in baseball for 6 runs in 4 2/3rds last night (even though he may not have had his best stuff), I tend to agree with Mac on this one. Especially with Stammen on the mound. We're going to need run support.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 5:26 PM
Oooh, newness. Its so crazy it just might work. Bernie and Nyjer are slumping a little, giving them a day off isn't a terrible idea. Zimm's slumping too, so again, I like it.At first I thought that you meant Zimm and Dunn would be switching fielding positions. Then we could have agreed that Riggles was phoning this one in.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 5:33 PM
I hope they get this game in….because after the Padres, the Nats are definitely going to be at the bottom of the standings.
- Doc - May 27, 2010 at 5:41 PM
How about one more righty in the lineup–Morse in for Dunn? Nothing lost with Maxwell in for Morgan, and maybe something positive will happen. I was hoping Riggs would put Guzman in right.
- Mac - May 27, 2010 at 5:45 PM
I don't understand why we are trying Guzie in RF. Wasn't the reason we were worried about him this year is because he could no longer make the throw from the hole form short to first? If that's the case (which it is) then why is he in the one spot where you need a cannon for an arm? Not saying it isn't nice to have his bat in the lineup, cause he is on fire. I'm just saying if I'm the Giants 3rd base coach I am sending everyone.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 5:47 PM
Okay, play Maxwell against Zito but why have him leadoff? This is some poor soul's brainstorm because he was leading off in Syracuse, too, despite all evidence to the contrary. Another "try out" in Natsville, something we're all too accustom to.
- A DC Wonk - May 27, 2010 at 6:22 PM
I'd rather have seen Willingham flip-flopped with Dunn.And I'm glad to see Desmond move up to the 6-spot

"Okay, play Maxwell against Zito but why have him leadoff?"—————————-who else ya got? Guz? then who bats second? Desmond batting second? then you've got Maxwell, Gonzalez, Maldando and the pitcher rounding out the bottom of the order. Willingham would get intentionally walked every time he came up!sometimes it's best to change just one batting position than changing multiple ones …

Ordinarily, I might question what the heck is going on with the line-up, but instead, I've come to the conclusion that Jim Riggleman knows more than I do…imagine that. GO NATS….JTinSC
- Sec$39.99 - May 27, 2010 at 6:56 PM
Anyway, no, Guzman was not moved because of his arm. It's his range that's much diminished. True, he's not going to make anyone forget Roberto Clemente, but he's in there to hit, mainly, and make the normal plays, which he'll do.
- sec3 - May 27, 2010 at 7:00 PM
Janner, good catch. I thought that was just another of our own Eeyores.
- Janner33 - May 27, 2010 at 7:34 PM
@sec3 LOL – Yeah, we have enough to fill Nats Park. Speaking of which i haven't seen JayB or Aeliano around for awhile?
- Section 222 - May 27, 2010 at 7:41 PM
I'm waiting for the first time that Guzman really misplays a flyball or makes a truly awful throw from RF. I imagine the experiment will continue until that happens because using him in RF gives Riggleman another option for putting him in the lineup.

how come Clippard didn't get a save last night? he faced 6 batters over two innings, and was given a 4 run lead to protect, and ended the game? i don't get it. i thought that was a textbook two inning save.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 7:52 PM
The save rule, from Wikipedia:A save is a statistic credited to a relief pitcher, as set forth in Rule 10.19 of the Rules of Baseball. That rule states the official scorer shall credit a pitcher with a save when such pitcher meets all four of the following conditions[2]:He is the finishing pitcher in a game won by his team; He is not the winning pitcher; He is credited with at least ⅓ of an inning pitched; and He satisfies one of the following conditions: He enters the game with a lead of no more than three runs and pitches for at least one inning He enters the game, regardless of the count, with the potential tying run either on base, at bat or on deck He pitches for at least three innings If the pitcher surrenders the lead at any point, he cannot get a save, but he may be credited as the winning pitcher if his team comes back to win. No more than one save may be credited in each game.For Clippard to get a save when coming in with a 4 run lead, he would have had to pitch at least 3 innings. He didn't, ergo no save.
- Natsochist - May 27, 2010 at 8:07 PM
Hey Mark – I remember you mentioning earlier this year how often the Nats allowed at least one run in the half-inning after they scored.Granted this one wasn't his fault, but it seems to me that a large number of those situations seem to come with Stammen on the mound. Anyone able to confirm this, or do you get the same feeling?
- David - May 27, 2010 at 8:09 PM
- Mark Zuckerman - May 27, 2010 at 8:13 PM
Natsochist: You're right that earlier in the year the pitching staff had a knack for allowing runs right after scoring. Though I feel like that hasn't been the case as much lately. Stammen certainly had that problem in his game at Philly in early April (that hideous game where the scoreboard was filled with non-zeroes).
- NATurallyYours - May 27, 2010 at 8:30 PM
Through 2, the "not trying", "flip-flopping", no-Morse line-up seems to be OK. I'm thinking JTinSC is on to something. Maybe, just maybe, baseball lifer Jim Riggleman knows more about his team than we do. Nah, that can't be it…
- Sec$39.99 - May 27, 2010 at 8:43 PM
Yes, and that bum Gonzalez, what's he doing there? Just a double and starting a circus doubleplay…
- Sec3 - May 27, 2010 at 8:46 PM
Mark, is that the game they call "Nieves a fuera"?I hope I'd still be laughing if it was "[me] a fuera"…
- Mark Zuckerman - May 27, 2010 at 8:47 PM
Sec3: Yes, that's the game. For those who can't translate, that means "Nieves is out."
- sec$39.99 - May 27, 2010 at 9:35 PM
Don't know the ground rules, but it looks like it hit the cement cap, off the iron railing, and back in, which I'm guessing is in play.
- meixler - May 27, 2010 at 9:38 PM
If you look at the side angle replay of that Dunn double (*cough* homer *cough*), it really does look like a double ricochet, off the top of the wall then off of either that little fence thing or the back of a seat. I don't think the umps looked at that one well enough.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 9:38 PM
An interesting question is "why didn't the runner on first score?" Dunn's hit was in the air so long and had such a high bounce that the runner should have scored.
- meixler - May 27, 2010 at 9:40 PM
True dat, but luckily Maxwell eventually made it home anyway.
- Sec$39.99 - May 27, 2010 at 9:41 PM
5:38 Anon, with the way the wind works in that park, he probably thought there was a fair chance it would stay in and be caught.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 9:52 PM
Dunn is a disgrace at first base.
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 9:54 PM
Dunn has just blown the game.
- phil dunn - May 27, 2010 at 9:57 PM
Dunn just batted, why didn't Riggleman remove him for defensive purposes with a 4-2 lead??????
- JayB - May 27, 2010 at 10:43 PM
Mark,Honestly, do you see any value in Maxwell? Any at all?
- Anonymous - May 27, 2010 at 10:50 PM
Maxwell can't even hit at the triple A level and he'll never hit in the majors. The Nats need to show him the door. He looked scared when he faced Brian Wilson in the 9th and didn't even take the bat off his shoulder.
- NatsNut - May 27, 2010 at 11:03 PM
Mark,when you see Ladson, tell him the Nationals reliever is TYLER Walker, not Todd.Thanks
- An Briosca Mor - May 28, 2010 at 1:05 AM
"An interesting question is "why didn't the runner on first score?" Dunn's hit was in the air so long and had such a high bounce that the runner should have scored."The ball left the park and came back in, the only question was where it left. If it wasn't a home run, then it would have to have been scored a ground rule double. Runner on first automatically gets two bases.
- sec3 - May 28, 2010 at 1:36 AM
no, not a GRD. It never left the field of play, and there was no fan interference. Same as if it were (unambiguouisly) off the wall.

a) Not really ages ago, the patch was submitted to lmsensors late 2009 and the device has been around for the better part of 4 years. b) the "virtual device" handles more then just sensor support and also hooks into the ACPI. It also handles items like fan speed, clock adjustments, voltage adjustments, etc. Before the patch was introduced you would get conflicting addresses between the two "devices" as they were both trying to address the same locations.
I have 6 such boards of different models with this device.

1973-1978 Chevy C10's Tilt Steering Column Install - Tilt Steering For '73-78 C10S
Written by on December 1, 2009 Our Handy Install Tips Make It A Cinch!There's an old saying car painters like to use that says: "If nothing else, get the driver's door and the hood painted right." Obviously the reason to make these areas look nice is because they are always under the driver's nose. Move inside to the vehicle's interior and there's an area that's right in the driver's face: the dashboard. When it came time to upgrade the appearance of the Americruise truck's interior our motivation went a little beyond just cosmetic concerns. We needed to make the truck more functional, and comfortable as well. This is where the folks at ididit came in with their new bolt-in tilt-wheel steering column kit that includes an ignition switch built into the column, same as original steering columns that came in '73-87 Chevy and GMC trucks. Ditching the ugly GM stocker and popping in the ididit unit meant we could take care of a horn that didn't work, an ignition switch that was worn out, and be able to tilt the steering wheel to where we could view all of our Dakota Digital gauges without having to duck around the steering wheel rim. If one has never swapped out a steering column before it can be a little time-consuming, but that's what we are here for. Follow along as we swap out the steering column, change the steering wheel, plus install a new dashpad from Brothers all in a mere matter of hours. Note that ididit specifies their column fits '73-78 C10s, but our C10 is a '79 and it went right in. We advise researching fitment to later years, but feel confident there's a good chance the kit will fit some newer models as well.

Patients with B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL) that has returned after initial treatment have a limited number of treatment options. The goal of this study is to assess the safety of a new therapy that can be given to pediatric and young adult patients with B-ALL that has returned despite prior therapy.
The investigational therapy uses T cells (a type of white blood cell) that have been removed from the patient and genetically modified in the laboratory to recognize a protein on leukemia cells called CD19. The modified T cells are returned to the patient, and it is hoped that they will find and kill leukemia cells. T cells altered in this way were shown to be capable of killing B-cell cancers in laboratory studies and in adults with B-cell ALL that has returned after chemotherapy.
For more information and to inquire about eligibility for this study, please contact Dr. Kevin J. Curran at 212-639-5836.

12417Z Eastwood Guide Coat, Tan
(Q) Should I use guide coat?
(A) Applying guide coat will show you the surface's high and low points as you sand. It will make it easier to identify where you need to take down high spots or add filler to low spots.
Always wear eye, skin and respiratory protection when using Dura-Block Sanding Blocks or other sanders. Make sure you are in a well-ventilated area and follow the safety precautions on paint and filler labels.

On this episode of Chat with the Experts, Patrick George of Heartwood Tree Service shares tips to help the trees in your yard flourish for decades to come.
Ready to get your hands dirty? It's time to say goodbye to Old Man Winter and reacquaint yourself with Mother Nature ...
Ready to plant a tree? Here's a breakdown of some of the most popular types and their costs.
Angie's Answers
I would strongly suggest sending your neighbors a certified letter stating that, per your earlier conversation, you consider this tree to be a hazard due to its proximity to the power lines. Then, when and if something bad does happen, you will have a record of having informed them of it and they won't be able to say "we didn't know."
You say the county has told you it is the neighbor's problem. Did you contact the local electric company? They should care very much about the situation.
I would also recommend taking lots of pictures showing the proximity of the tree to the wires and that it is obviously dead.
Dead trees do sometimes stay vertical for a very long time, but it sounds like a tense situation for you. I understand your desire to not inflame the situation, but it doesn't sound like there is anything more you can do that won't have the potential to do so. So it becomes your responsibility to look after your own interests in the most reasonable way possible.
For my money, never ? I do a walk-around yearly in the summer (when easy to work on and before the heavy fall winds in our area) and look for trees with dead crowns, losing branches everywhere but at the crown, brown branches (evergreens) or leafless branches, leaning trees, trees with visible rot, trees with major bark loss, trees with seriously damaged or eroded away roots, etc. If none of those symptoms, then I call our 100 or so trees good for the year.
Of course, the bigger the trees and the likelihood of house damageor powerline loss (especially in winter) if there is a major branch or tree fall comes into play also. I trim and cut my own trees when needed regardless of size, so my level of confidence in being able to handle anything comes into it.
If you are worried about one or more trees, call an arborist to check them out - then I would say unless there is evidence of damage - ESPECIALLY leaning trees or major branches not leafing like the rest of the tree - I would not worry having them looked at more frequently than every 10 years or so.
