The gang is having breakfast, while May practices with her Beautifly. She throws a Frisbee and it uses Gust, throwing the Frisbee back to May. The process is repeated once more, but May throws the Frisbee in wrong direction, so Torchic goes to get it. Torchic begins to speed up, as the terrain is narrow. Torchic bashes on a rock, but sees the Frisbee. When Torchic begins to take it up, it hears a noise from the grass and looks for the source. The gang goes to find Torchic, but they notice a Pokémon shivering.
The Pokémon is Skitty. May goes to meet it and when Skitty gets her attention, May bursts of happiness - she'd like to catch it. Torchic prepares for battle, but Skitty does not want to battle May. Brock offers it food, but Skitty refuses, so it must be tired. Brock leads them to a place, but during their walk, the gang notice Oddish and Weepinbell. The gang arrives to the greenhouse where Skitty will recover.
The Skitty will recover with aroma therapy. The woman (which Brock identifies as Eliza and begins to flirt with her) arrives and May explains that Skitty needs rest. Eliza invites them in, and Brock goes to flirt with her more, but Max pulls his ear. The gang enters in, so Eliza shows the products. Brock tries to impress Eliza, but Max once again pulls his ear. Eliza checks Skitty, so begins to mix aroma to make it feel better. Eliza made the mixture and releases the smell, so Skitty begins to feel better already.
May will stay with Skitty, while the others go out. Team Rocket spots the lab as well, so James and Jessie think that their Pokémon would do well to breathe the smell. Meowth thinks that their boss should be given the mixtures - Giovanni would feel better and promotion for them would arrive. James reminds that the mixtures are meant for Pokémon, so they stick to James and Jessie's plan. Skitty awakes and plays around. Eliza goes to check Skitty, but Skitty sees Pikachu's tail and goes after it. Skitty after that eats Brock's food.
May still plans to catch it, so brings Torchic, despite battling inside the lab. Skitty tackles Torchic. Torchic uses Quick Attack, hitting Skitty. May almost uses a Pokéball, but the window is destroyed and Team Rocket appear. Jessie sends Seviper to use Haze. Team Rocket begin to steal the mixtures, but Skitty appears near Meowth, so he falls in love with it. Brock tackles James, but the mixtures are combined, so every Pokémon gets super-happy, though humans think it smells awful. Team Rocket jump out through the window with the mixtures and go to the balloon, but Brock takes the mixtures James took already.
Ash sends Corphish and uses Bubble Beam, hitting Seviper. James brings Cacnea and uses Pin Missile, but Cophish uses Harden. When James sees Weepinbell, he wants to take them, but the rest of Team Rocket fly off. Corphish uses Crabhammer to send James to the balloon. Next, he sends Taillow and it uses Wing Attack, blasting them off. After the battle, Brock saved a ba, but May does not see Skitty. Team Rocket have blasted off and Jessie sees the mixtures, with no bottle being broken. Skitty appears out of the bag, making Meowth in love.
Skitty plays around. Jessie is happy, so she wants to capture it, but Meowth is thrilled, as Skitty would be blasted off every time. Meowth then tries to convince that it should be given to the boss, making him happier. Jessie isn't convinced, as she thinks it is her own. Meowth goes with Skitty, so he tells her to go away, but Skitty is still happy and stays with him. Meowth throws a rock to make her go away, so Skitty goes to catch the rock. Jessie appears, asking where Skitty is, but Meowth replies she got away. Jessie is ultra-furious and kicks Meowth, but Meowth hasn't forgotten that "it is all for the best".
The gang searches for Skitty. Taillow has found Skitty, so everybody goes after it. They see Team Rocket's balloon blasted off. Eliza sends Oddish and uses Sweet Scent. Team Rocket search for Skitty, but Meowth and Jessie's Wobbuffet smell Oddish's scent. May demands to know what happened to Skitty, but Skitty appears, so Meowth tries to make it run away. Jessie hears Meowth's words, but Meowth stops. Jessie sends Dustox and May her Beautifly. Beautifly uses Gust, but Dustox uses Tackle. Beautifly dodges, so Dustox uses Psi Beam. Beautifly dodges the attacks and uses Tackle, hitting Dustox and uses Gust, knocking Team Rocket. Pikachu uses Thunderbolt, blasting them off.
May holds Skitty and uses Poké Ball, but Skitty thinks it is a toy. However, when it touches, Skitty goes into the ball and is captured. Eliza gives the gang directions to Fallabor Town. Brock makes his final flirt, but is once more taken by Max. The gang goes off, but Skitty goes away from Poké Ball, playing around.
- "Ah, aroma-therapy!" - May
- "What's that, a new kind of Pokémon?" - Ash
- "Not quite..." - May
- When Ash asks which Pokémon Skitty is, Brock's jacket was miscolored.
- In the quiz, it is said that Weezing would be the best choice against Silcoon. However, none of the Pokémon are super-effective against Silcoon, while Weezing's attacks would do reduced damage.
- Featured Pokémon: Silcoon, Weezing, Sableye, Marill
- Following Misty's example, from this episode, Max will pull Brock's ears when he flirts.
- However, this wasn't the first time Brock has been separated from the one he flirted with in Hoenn - the first was in AG038: A Different Kind of Misty! and the other 2 in AG044: The Princess and the Togepi and in AG045: A Togepi Mirage!
- This episode's name is a pun to "I feel pretty!"

Here is the first review of the Vevo website.
First of all, Vevo is not available world wide, it currently is only available in the US. People from other countries get message that Vevo is currently not available in their country. They can leave their email address to be informed when Vevo will be available in their region.
The main page
On the Vevo mainpage you can search for music videos by artist, song or playlist. There are also links to Videos, Artists, Genres, Channels and Playlists as well as a Login and Signup link. Below that you will see the most popular searches on the Vevo site for today (which are clickable links which bring you right to the result page for those searches). Below that is a big slideshow that promotes some of Vevos exclusive videos and content.
In the center of the main page you can find an overview of the Top Videos, Top Playlists and Popular Artists.
At the bottom of the page is your personal playlist. You can load your own videos in it or select a pre-defined playlist (more about this below). The playlist can be minimized.
Sponsors / Ads
The first thing you notice when you watch a video on the Vevo site is that the first Video you watch starts with short advertisement (commercial) before the video starts playing. The page itself is also themed by the sponsor.
The Vevo Video Player
The Video Player is pretty decent. It's a Flash player (just like YouTube) that plays the videos at 850×480 (850 pixels width and 480 pixels height). The video quality is great. In the player you will find a sidebar with buttons to add the video to your playlist, get a direct video link, get the code to embed the video on your website and to purchase the song you are watching on Itunes or Amazon. Below the video users can comment and there is also a Credits tab. There are also some recommendations listed for other videos and playlists you might like.
The Playlist
This is a great feature of Vevo. With one click you can add and remove videos from your playlist. The Playlist stays available at the bottom of the site while you browse trough the website. It can be minimized and maximized. You can easily skip between tracks in your playlist and you can save the playlist so you can access it again the next time you enter the Vevo site. There are also predefined playlists which you can watch, for example "Rock Favorites", "Hits", etc.
The Artists Page
When you click on an Artist's name you will get a page that shows all available videos from that artist as well as playlists featuring that artist. It also lists the tweets about the artist from twitter. For example many artists mention that any person should drink best protein shakes to stay feet and look great!
Vevo Channels
Video channels feature videos by Genre or theme. For example there is a Michal Jackson Legacy channel, a Hit List Channel, A country Channel, A Latino Channel, Old School Hip Hop Channel a channel with Vevo Shows.
Vevo Genres
On the Genres page you can find videos by genre such as Blues, Alternative, Children's Music, Gospel, Classical, Humor, Country, Easy Listening, Electronic/Dance, Jazz, Holiday, etc.

They'll discuss the Protect America Act which expired over the weekend with Bush threatening, "Because Congress failed to act, it will be harder for our government to keep you safe from terrorist attacks."

Cole says the rule of law is an asset not an obstacle in the struggle to keep us safe and free, we have given up many freedoms in the name of security but we are not safer.

Global Warming
Barbara, I hope you might forward my comments to your guest. I was only able to listen to part of today's program but I am very interested. I want to raise my concerns about two prevailing frames that arise on your show and throughout serious discussion of climate change that I believe do great damage to the efforts to raise the awareness of the public and help them understand the urgency needed when addressing this issue.
First is the frame that global warming is happening slowly and will continue to do so. I do not believe the facts support such an assertion and not only does no one know that warming will not suddenly serge forward it seems to be doing exactly that. A report out last week raised the projected temperature for the planet by the end of the century to 9F from 4F degrees. That means that we are going to hit 4F by---2040? Until recently no one imagined the arctic ice cap could melt in anything like our lifetimes but in fact it will and it may do so as soon as 2013! The problem with the frames that give people the impression that GW is a slow process is that it provides fauls comfort, "Oh, technology will fix it before it happens," or "It is not my problem." Neither one is the case but too many people still think that way. So please start using a different frame from "by the end of the century," or "future generations." Instead say "within our life times," and stress the urgency. After all it is much more accurate to say catastrophic climate change is happening right now.
The second frame is that one cannot attribute any given weather event to global warming. That is only partly true. In fact one might say that you cannot not attribute any given weather event to climate change such is the post-industrial influence on the pre-industrial trajectory of the climate---we have departed the Holocene and are in the Antropocene some scientist tell us. It is like a basketball launched toward a basket that gets tipped by one of the players. Its trajectory is for ever changed. I think it is more accurate to say that the weather everywhere and everyday has been influence to some degree by GW. This is important because the frame that one cannot tell if an event is caused by climate change is asking them not to believe there own "eyes," experiences, or impressions which are often very astute. For instance in Oklahoma where I grew up we used to have thunderstorms in April and the 100F days did not come until late July. This year they had wild fires near Oklahoma City in April and the temperatures have been in the hundreds throughout much of this June---that has increasingly become the trend and is consistent with climate change projections. Now Oklahomans should by all rights believe that what they are experiencing is in fact global warming. It may be noted that Inhofe is a Senator from Oklahoma and one of the most radical global warming deniers and obstructionist in government.
I have been keeping up with this issue for a long time now and am alarmed at the rapidity that things are taking place. I truly believe we are probably in for crop failures, water shortages, and mass migrations here in North America, in this country, within our lifetimes and whereas I think there is a fine line to be drawn to not panic or send people into despair I think scientist tend to be much too measured in their statements. It is as though there is smoke billowing out of the projection room and the scientists don't want be caught dead yelling fire in a crowded theater because there is no "proof" that there is in fact a fire.
Scientist have long dismissed the near term risk of a methane/co2 release from the arctic or the ocean meanwhile there is growing indications that that is exactly what is happening. As a NASA scientist you should know that a huge methane release was detected on Mars a few years ago and that is within a much more static system than ours----that should give us pause!
The public needs to be prepared in case there is a sudden spike in methane from the Arctic so I hope in the future Barbara you will direct your discussions of climate change toward the rapidity of changes already taking place and the potential danger of being too complacent and smug about what we know and what we think we do or do not know. Thank you.
Global Warming
I recently interviewed Phil Mote who has replaced climate change denier George Taylor as Oregon's State Climatologist. Like any careful scientist Mote does not feel comfortable attributing specific weather events to climate change. But he gave me a analogy that I like: It's like playing Russian Roulette and adding a second bullet to the chamber of the revolver. If you blow your head off it doesn't really matter whether it was the original bullet or added bullet that did you in.
Solar Energy
I echo Bruce's concerns and add commentary based on Mon - 14 - Sep show.
While I support solar energy, I warn against pie-in-the-sky proposals that make it sound like we can find new sources to keep living our wasteful lives. The scale of the problem is lost when we pretend that putting solar panels on 100 roofs signifies real change.
There is some hope to be found in using solar power efficiently. This does NOT include powering electric resistance heaters with photovoltaics. It does mean passive solar heating, solar hot water, and solar clothes driers (AKA clotheslines).
When you have used conservation and innovation to convert the wasteful electric grid into a sustainable system, then we can begin the conversation about supplimenting the system for our transportation problems. Until then, the only real sustainable alternatives to petroleum are wind, human, and animal powered vehicles. Coal and nuclear, the primary sources of new electricity, are polluting uses of nonrenewable resources.
Walk, ride a bicycle, sail (without motor), and use horse and ox cart, if you are truly concerned about the serious threat of climate change. Park your car forever. We cannot afford cars any longer.

i think now is a good time to talk more about what socialism actually is - common ownership of the means of production - and what is is not - redistributing wealth. you are right to continue pointing out that what obama is talking about is a progressive tax structure, not socialism.
the progressive tax idea actually comes from adam smith himself, "It is not very unreasonable that the rich should contribute to the public expense, not only in proportion to their revenue, but something more than in that proportion." [from book 5, ch.2 on taxes]

I did WW a few years ago and lost 50 lbs. I ran low on time and money and started to slack on my eating habits and lifestyle and gained it all back and then some. I've been wanting to get back on WW and couldn't afford it and I found your website that can help get me started back up on my own. Thank you for publishing this for those of us who want help but can't afford it. THANK YOU!

I'm a SAHM and can't afford to go back on ww right now.
I just found this site three days ago, and I've already tried four recipes - they were DELICIOUS, fast and easy.
Thanks so much for sharing and keep up the great work! Thank you for this. I have a number of WW recipes from a friend (old recipes when she was doing WW) as well as a number of "newer" ones from cookbooks and magazines, but never knew how to calculate how many points I could have a day. Now I know so I can try this and see if it ends up being easier for me. I have been doing NS which is great and helped me lose 35 lbs, but I'm so bored with the food - I'm going to try this and see if it gets me back in the losing mode.

I stumbled on your site while looking for a WW bran muffin receipe that uses bran cereal. Didn't find the receipe but did find your site. Thanks for doind this it helps those of us that can't afford to join WW. Your baby is beautiful! Just wanted to let you know that I love your blog! I just found it a few weeks ago and am loving having some new recipes to cook! My biggest complaint about weight watchers has always been that I hate eating different things at mealtime than what I cook my family! It is great to have some meals that are low in points that we can all enjoy together! Congratulations on your baby! I just had a little boy Nov. 20th. One question, do you really use all 10 extra points for nursing? And if so, do you feel like you still lose weight? It feels like so many extra points, I am always nervous to use all of them!
ReplyDeletehi, i am from the netherlands and we use the new pro-points since november 2009. Do yu use the new pro-points also and how are you doing ? Will this site will be avaiable with this new pro-points or not ? It is very nice and always can find a nice meal with minimal points Regards, Barry (lost 44,5 kg in 9 months with weight watchers.)

Hi Gina - LOVE your website - I have printed off a number of the recipes however was curious as to whether there is a "Recipe Box" on the site that one could save recipes in for anyone including myself who is trying to use less paper - thanks Karen

I'm from the Netherlands also and just started with the new Pro Points. It's just a new way to calculate points. After Flexi points, Comfort points we now have... Pro Points! I do not know the formula, but you take protein, carbs, fat and fiber to calculate the amount of points. Where I used to have 20 points a day (in your current system) now I have 29 points a day plus a 39 points a week as a piggy bank. Left over points cannot be taken to the next day. - jinschool2/21/10, 7:19 PM
I love your site, I am such a foodie
thought I'd share a recipe for Quick Chicken Gumbo
1 spray cooking spray
1 package frozen gumbo style vegetables (16 oz)
29 oz canned diced tomatoes, with mild chiles
@ 3 cups cubed chicken breast
1 tbsp flour
1 tsp Creole seasoning
Coat large skillet with spray. Add vegetables and saute over high heat, stirring frequently for 2 min. stir in flour and cook for another 1 min.
Stir in tomatoes, chicken and Creole seasoning. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until hot, @6 min. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving WW points 4 - Anonymous3/16/10, 3:12 AM
I absolutely love your site. I had a baby 2 months ago and have been struggling with my weight gain. I've never had this much to lose before and was considering ww. Now that I see that there as so many yummy options I'm definiely giving it a try. Im also curious about the nursing mother points. 10 extra seems like a lot. Do you really use all of them? Thanks so much!!
ReplyDelete - Anonymous5/3/10, 1:44 PM
As an RN, I would not advise any nursing mother to be on a "diet"............
she needs an extra 500 cal/day (2500 cal total) and needs to drink 3 qts of water/day.
The nursing mother needs to drink fluid to make enough fluid for the baby.
Nurse Grace - Anonymous5/22/10, 5:03 PM
Hi Gina!
The nursing mom who is supplementing with formula or solids (according to the 2010 formula) should get 5 points. Otherwise, she gains weight! :) hehe! I learned this the hard way and the asked my consultant and she found it in the books for me! Whew, I kept wondering why the scale was creeping up!
Nursing Mommy to a beautiful bouncy baby girl Hi Gina, this is a great site. I love yummy food, but don't enjoy cooking. I find that most recipe sites are filled with recipes containing ingredients that I don't have and often that I don't even have access to. Your recipes are so simple! So far this week I have made the corn salsa with lime, the avocado mango salsa, and the zucchini turkey burgers (which my 7-year-old vegetable-phobic son gobbled down without a clue). I have a thick folder of recipes that I've printed out and look forward to cooking more! Great job on this site and with your food creations. Really!!! I'm just lovin' it!

This is easiest hot appetizer that you'll ever make. Uses only TWO ingredients and it's soooo good, I guarantee these will disappear in minutes!
With Superbowl around the corner, I've had these on my mind to post for a while. These are the perfect tasty game day treats and you can easily assemble them ahead of time. When your guests arrive, throw them in the oven and the aroma of bacon that will fill your home will have everyone salivating.
I know what you're thinking, bacon on Skinnytaste?
Well yeah, why not?
Using center cut bacon reduces the fat, and wrapped around lean chicken breast you have yourself one delicious appetizer! If you want a sauce for dipping, you can use Sweet red chili sauce or duck sauce on the side. Your low-carb friends will thank you for these as they are carb-free, gluten-free, and semi guilt-free (just don't eat the whole batch).
I used to make these with my Mom as a kid. I recall looking through the oven door, waiting impatiently for them to come out. I guess
Servings: 10 • Serving Size: 3 chicken bites • Old Points: 2 pts • Points+: 2 pts
Calories: 70.1 • Fat: 2 g • Protein: 12.1 g • Carb: 0 g • Fiber: 0 g • Sugar: 0 g
Sodium: 117.6 mg
- 1.25 lbs (3) boneless skinless chicken breast, cut in 1-inch chunks (about 30 pieces)
- 10 slices bacon, cut into thirds
Preheat oven on to 375°F.
Wrap a piece of bacon around each piece of chicken; secure with a toothpick and place on a baking sheet (use foil for easy cleanup).
Bake on the lower rack turning halfway about 25 minutes, or until thoroughly cooked and browned. Blot on a paper towel and serve right away.

GM hopes redesign will make the venerable 'Vette cool again
General Motors is determined to change that.
In two days, Chevrolet will unveil the new Corvette, which so far GM has teased as having a sleeker exterior, a bigger engine and a dramatically improved interior.
GM design chief Ed Welburn this week unfurled a poster on a table at his office in suburban Detroit showing images of the remodeled Corvette along with Stingrays from 1959 and 1963.
"I want this image on every kid's wall," he said ahead of Sunday's unveiling on the eve of the North American International Auto Show in Detroit.
The redesigned Corvette, code-named C7, arrives as one of 13 new Chevrolets that GM is bringing out in the U.S. this year to update showrooms that have grown full of old models left over from the automaker's 2009 bankruptcy reorganization. The company needs new products to help stave off declining market share in the U.S. that reached an 88-year low in 2012.
The challenge for GM's Chevrolet brand is to draw on the strength of Corvette's 60-year heritage as a dream-inspiring racer while overcoming its recent baggage as an afterthought to Volkswagen's Audi and Porsche. The Detroit-based company is betting new styling, improved interiors and marketing efforts, including aiming the car straight at young people through placement in video games, will help.
"The big thing is bringing people to the brand and bringing a lot of energy to the brand," Welburn said. "People will look a bit differently at Chevrolet if Corvette is an even more relevant vehicle, a vehicle that is very inspiring, that is on the leading edge in so many ways."
About 46 percent of Corvette buyers last year through October were 55 or older compared with 22 percent of Audi R8 and 30 percent of Porsche 911 customers, according to Edmunds.
Introduced in 1953, Corvette production peaked in 1979 at 53,807, according to GM.
"As time has gone on, the market has become much more clouded; the Corvette doesn't stand out as much anymore as it used to," Jerry Burton, who has written books on the car, said in an interview.
Last year, sales of the Corvette, which starts at $49,600, rose 7.4 to 14,132 in the U.S., according to researcher Autodata Corp., about a quarter of its peak. Deliveries of the Porsche 911 Carrera, which starts at $82,100, rose 65 percent to 7,784 while the Audi R8, which starts at $114,200, declined 30 percent to 802.
The importance of those cars goes beyond sales figures. The cool factor for the 911 and the R8 helps lift the image of the entire Porsche and Audi lines. Corvette has lost that aura.
As GM's business struggled leading up to its 2009 bankruptcy reorganization, Corvette wasn't always a priority.
"We haven't been managing the perception of the brand," said Chris Perry, head of Chevrolet marketing in the U.S.
"To hit our sales target, we don't really need to advertise Corvette," Perry said. "There are a lot of people waiting to buy a Corvette, but to help change the perception of Corvette and help change the perception of Chevrolet, we'll definitely be putting some marketing behind it."
On the Internet, the Corvette gets lapped by exotic sports car brands. Corvette's Facebook page had 1 million "likes" on Jan. 10 while Chevrolet as a brand had 1.7 million. Ferrari had 10 million, Porsche had 4.9 million and Audi had 6.2 million. A separate Facebook page for Audi's R8 has 1.48 million "likes."
Other parts of cyberspace are more harsh. Google's autofill asks "Is a Corvette an old man's car?" and returns with 2.36 million search results. When fourth-grade boys at Neinas Elementary in Detroit talked about cars last month, they wanted to know about the Chevrolet Camaro and exotic brands, such as VW's Bugatti, that they're familiar with from video games. Only one child mentioned an interest in the Corvette, and he got teased.
"Because of the heritage of Corvette is a little bit more of a Midwest sports car, the successful plumber," Perry said. "That's one of the things we're going to change, especially on the coasts."
In trend-setting cities such as Los Angeles and Miami, he wants the new Corvette to attract attention from buyers in their 30s and 40s making around $150,000 annually, while still appealing to loyalists.
Part of GM's plan includes promoting the Corvette in video games, Perry said. GM worked with Sony to make available in November a camouflaged version of the new Corvette in the popular PlayStation 3 video game "Gran Turismo."
The new version of the Corvette will be available Monday for the video game, Perry said. The real car reaches showrooms by year's end.
"It's amazing how these young people influence that older group," said John Fitzpatrick, Corvette's marketing manager. "It's the old saying, 'Nobody wants to be seen driving an old man's car, but everybody wants to be seen driving a young man's car.' "
While GM hasn't unveiled the new Corvette yet, it has hinted at what's in store. Designers and engineers sculpted the new car in ways to improve aerodynamics, reducing lift for greater high-speed stability, GM said in a November press release.
GM has promised that the sports car's new 6.2-liter V-8 engine will make it the most powerful standard Corvette ever with 450 horsepower along with being the quickest with a zero to 60 in less than four seconds. It will also be the most fuel-efficient Corvette, at better than 26 miles per gallon on the highway.
"From the marketing standpoint, we have the goods," Perry said. "We have the product that delivers on that aspiration. Now we just have to change that perception."
There are signs of excitement and hope for the halo car among those of buying age. Tickets to a special event unveiling the new model, with proceeds going to the National Corvette Museum in Bowling Green, Ky., sold out in about 10 minutes, with donations to get in reaching $1,200, according to GM.
A Google search for "new Corvette" on Thursday resulted in 90 million results.

Fife looking to keep steady hand in LA's rotation
Locke fills in for Burnett as Bucs face Dodgers
Stephen Fife was given a chance to join the Dodgers' rotation at the beginning of June, and he has taken advantage of it so far.
Fife, who will take the mound for Friday's series opener in Pittsburgh, has allowed just three earned runs while recording 12 strikeouts in 12 innings during two outings this month. Fife pitched well in Spring Training but did not get the chance to join the Major League rotation until other starters became injured.
The 26-year-old right-hander made five big league starts last season and one mediocre one this April (four runs in 4 2/3 innings against the Orioles), but he said he's learned a lot in the process.
"I'm trying to bed down the mechanics that the Dodgers organization has aided me in finding," Fife said. "I think just with repetition and experience you just start to get a little better each time out. I'm definitely executing the fastball better and staying down in the zone longer."
Meanwhile, lefty Jeff Locke will get the start in the series opener for the Pirates, subbing for staff ace A.J. Burnett, who was scratched from Friday's start and placed on the disabled list due to a right calf strain.
On Sunday against the Cubs, Locke allowed just one run on one hit in 5 2/3 innings for a no-decision. However, he did walk seven batters.
"Once the game started, nothing really worked," Locke said after the start. "I was hoping they'd hit it at somebody."
Locke hasn't lost since his season debut and hasn't given up more than three earned runs in a start since April 18. He's also allowed just 11 earned runs in 59 2/3 innings since that April 18 outing.
Pirates: Rib-cage discomfort sidelines Marte
Starling Marte was a late scratch from the Pirates' lineup Thursday against the Giants because of discomfort in his left rib-cage area.
Alex Presley replaced Marte both in left field and in the leadoff spot. Marte is listed by the club as day to day.
Marte went 4-for-5 in the Bucs' 12-8 victory Wednesday night, moving his average up 10 points, to .289.
Dodgers: Puig scratched from lineup with strained shoulder
Yasiel Puig was scratched from the Dodgers' lineup Wednesday night against the D-backs because of a strained right shoulder.
Puig, who has captured the nation's attention after hitting .471 with four homers and 10 RBIs in his first nine Major League games, warmed up with the team, but left the field after taking just a handful of swings during batting practice. The right fielder was also involved in the Dodgers' benches-clearing brawl with the D-backs on Tuesday night. He threw some punches and was one of five players ejected from the contest.
However, Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said he was not sure how Puig injured his shoulder.
"Yasiel was a little sore," Mattingly said Wednesday. "I'm not sure what all that was from."
Puig did make a late entrance in the 12th inning Wednesday night, playing right field and hitting a single and scoring a run in the bottom of the frame.
Worth noting
• Pirates outfielder Jose Tabata (oblique strain) has begun light running and throwing drills and could go on a rehab assignment in about a week.

Phoronix: OpenZFS Launches To Promote Open-Source ZFS
OpenZFS has outed themselves today as the "truly open-source successor to the ZFS project", the popular and highly-advanced file-system designed for Solaris during the Sun Microsystems days. OpenZFS is designed to promote the file-system on various operating systems and for allowing developers and stakeholders to better collaborate over open-source ZFS activities...
We are in #openzfs on freenode. Feel free to come by with questions.
What is freenode?
I am a bit confused about this. I have reread the article.
It's an irc server.
How to connect it?
I connected on the one that comes with linuxmint and added the group but there is no such thing on this server.
Ok, finally I was able to connect. Found the irc servers.
Is there a rewrite under GPL planned ? If it is not going to GPL, it does not matter.

A Lockport woman was arrested after she admitted she'd been stuffing more than just her purse at a local store.
36-year-old Karen Kostyo of Lockport-Olcott Road was arrested after a clerk at Walmart on South Transit noticed that she'd gone into a ladies restroom with a box of breast enhancers that weren't paid for.
She exited the restroom and dropped an empty box on the floor.
According to a police report, a clerk had noticed that Kostyo when she entered the store and said she had a large purse that appeared empty, and small breasts.
When the female left the store four hours later, her breasts appeared larger, as did the purse.
Kostyo later admitted to stealing the items but said she's on medication and didn't remember the incident.
She has been banned for Walmart stores for a year and she'll appear in Town of Lockport Court on August 22 on a charge of petit larceny.

When enterprising Wilford Fawcett came home to Robbinsdale, MN, after World War I, he thought it would be good business to publish the dirty jokes he heard in the trenches overseas. He called his magazine "Captain Billy's Whiz Bang" and it became a huge success. MN90 producer Marisa Helms tells us Fawcett made a small fortune off of his bawdy humor magazine and went on to build a publishing empire of hobby magazines and comic books, including Captain Marvel.
Minnesotans elected Floyd B. Olson as the state's first Farmer-Labor party governor in 1930, during the height of the Great Depression. During this tough time, thousands of people across the country were out of work, dealing with bread lines, and losing their farms to foreclosure. MN90 producer Marisa Helms introduces us to Floyd B. Olson, who became the hero Minnesotans were hoping for.

O's head to Fenway for crucial three-game series
Baltimore sends Chen against Boston's Doubront in Tuesday opener
The Orioles are 6-8 over their last 14 games and are on the outside looking in at the American League playoff race. But their next six games come against the Red Sox and Yankees, beginning with a three-game series in Boston that starts Tuesday, providing an opportunity to shuffle the AL East standings.
The irony, of course, is that the Red Sox have a chance to bury the O's deeper down the standings and perhaps out of the playoff race. It's the same treatment Baltimore handed Boston to finish the 2011 season, putting a lid on the Red Sox's playoff hopes.
Since then, the Orioles have tormented their division foes, winning 24 of 35 matchups.
Success against Boston might be tougher now, as the Red Sox's pitching staff has morphed into its April form. The Sox haven't allowed more than three runs in a game since the Yankees erupted for nine runs Aug. 18.
The Orioles, who trail the A's by two games in the race for the second AL Wild Card spot, will have to beat a Red Sox team that's pitching well.
"I've said many times, the baseball gods, if you keep grinding, they'll shine on you, and our guys have. They've never given in," Orioles manager Buck Showalter said after a dramatic win against the A's on Friday. "When these guys' backs are to the wall, I have a lot of faith in what they'll bring."
Felix Doubront, who starts Tuesday's game for Boston, is coming off a dominating performance against the Dodgers. The lefty threw eight innings of one-run ball. At 25, Doubront has appeared to hit his stride as a permanent part of the Red Sox rotation. He's 9-6 with a 3.79 ERA and 122 strikeouts in 140 innings.
In his only start against the Orioles this season, Doubront was knocked out in the fifth inning after allowing three earned runs on seven hits.
The Orioles have a talented lefty they'll send to counter Doubront. Wei-Yin Chen has given Baltimore's rotation depth since his return on July 10. He's pitched at least six innings in each of his eight starts since then.
Orioles: Hammel on the mend
The O's rotation could get a little deeper with the return of Jason Hammel, who is scheduled to begin a Minor League rehab assignment Thursday at Double-A Bowie.
Hammel's been on the disabled list since July 29 with a right flexor mass strain.
Red Sox: Buchholz throws rehab
The Red Sox are ranked in the bottom third of the Major Leagues in ERA since June 9, when Clay Buchholz landed on the disabled list with neck and shoulder issues that have kept him out of action since.
Buchholz began a rehab assignment on Sunday with Class A Lowell, the first test as he attempts to work his way back to the Red Sox in time to join the pennant race. He only lasted two-thirds of an inning, but he reported that he felt good afterward.
"I felt good. That was my only concern coming down here to pitch," said Buchholz, who has been sidelined for the last two and a half months with a right bursa sac strain in his shoulder. "Physically, I felt fine today and that's what I wanted."
Buchholz allowed three runs (one earned) on one hit and three walks. He threw 38 pitches. Following his outing, he said he would prefer to make at least one more rehab start.
"I can definitely use another one. I feel like I hadn't pitched in two and a half months," Buchholz said. "It's an art. If you don't do it for an extended period of time, you feel awkward doing it. Facing batters in a game situation is completely different than facing the guys on my team in my [simulated-game] situations. I think one more could do it if I can get up and down enough times."
Worth noting
• The Orioles are 11-6 when Brian Roberts scores a run.
• Boston's Will Middlebrooks is hitting .356 with five extra-base hits in 14 games since being recalled from Triple-A Pawtucket.

GLENWOOD SPRINGS - The debate over oil shale development edged closer to the front burner of national energy policy on Friday, when Interior Secretary Ken Salazar released formal guidelines concerning how much federal land will be available for research, demonstration and development projects.The new plan, outlined in a formal "Record of Decision" or ROD, formalizes a proposal from November 2012 to make 678,000 acres of public land in Colorado, Wyoming and Utah available for research, demonstration and development projects, or RD&D, and roughly 130,000 acres of land in Utah available for such projects on tar sands leases.That is down considerably from the approximately two million acres of public lands opened up for oil shale development by the Bush administration in 2008.According to the ROD, more than 1.3 million acres included in the Bush-era plan have been removed from consideration for oil shale leasing and development, based on such issues as potential for wilderness designation, protection for greater sage-grouse habitat, and protection for other "areas of critical environmental concern" as identified in federal regulations.Glenn Vawter, director of the National Oil Shale Association, said the announcement is a confirmation that Colorado "took the biggest hit" in terms of reducing the amount of land open to oil shale research.Vawter noted that the 2008 guidelines called for 360,000 new acres to be opened up for oil shale, where the announcement on Friday cut it down to 26,000 new acres.Four energy companies - Shell, American Soda (AMSO), Exxon and Natural Soda - currently hold six leases between them. A fifth lease, held by Chevron, is inactive while the company backs off from oil shale development.According a summary statement on the BLM website (www.blm.gov) regarding Friday's announcement, any lands still open for oil shale development "would first be available for RD&D leases," under which energy companies must prove that their technology for extracting the "oil" from the rock is viable, economically and environmentally.Only after accomplishing that, according to the ROD, would a company be eligible for commercial oil shale leases.The ROD also calls for careful analysis of the potential social and economic impacts of a commercial oil shale industry, as well as of the true amount of water use such an industry might entail.Oil shale is a fine-grained sedimentary rock containing an organic compound called kerogen, and is different from what is known as "shale oil."When extracted from the surrounding rock, kerogen can be processed using extremely high heat and pressure to yield a petroleum-like liquid.Efforts to extract shale from oil go back more than a century in Colorado, most recently in the form of an oil shale boom in the late 1970s and early 1980s that went bust on May, 2, 1982, when the Exxon energy company pulled the plug on its oil shale project.Friday's announcement was met with cautious enthusiasm by representatives of environmental, recreation and agriculture groups, who said the plan shows Salazar's willingness to consider other aspects of the oil shale debate than simply the desires of the industry."We want to make sure that potential impacts from development of this resource ... are understood before major allocations of public lands are made," said Michael Saul, an attorney for the National Wildlife Federation."We think oil shale would be a big gamble with our water and our public lands," agreed Bill Midcap of the Rocky Mountain Farmer's Union, who praised Salazar "because he's brought a lot of common sense to oil shale, something that we need more of our here in the West."Ashley Korenblat, past president of the International Mountain Biking Association and an outfitter in Utah, noted that the recreation industry generates $30 billion in revenues, and some 300,000 jobs, in the three states."We don't want to jeopardize those revenues," she said, adding that there are no guarantees that oil shale development could or would generate similar financial effects on local towns in the region.
