Delhi Dynamos have confirmed the signing of Italian legend Alessandro del Piero as their marquee player.
Del Piero, whose CV boasts the FIFA World Cup title in 2006, the UEFA Champions League with Juventus in 1996 and eight Serie A titles, will join the team in the Capital on September 12.
"It's really exciting to be coming to India and playing for the capital of the country. I am thoroughly looking forward to training with my teammates and work together with the coach and the club and I hope to encourage the people of Delhi to follow our games," Del Piero said in a statement.
The talismanic striker left Australian club Sydney FC earlier this year after a two-year stint that helped lift the A-League's profile. He will be expected to play a similar role in India. "I've always looked for something different, I see myself as a 'traveller on the roads of football', for me, the pitch isn't the only thing that counts, that what surrounds the game counts just as much," he said on his official website (www.alessandrodelpiero.com).
"This is the reason why I went to Australia. Also why I'm happy with the results obtained with Australian football (soccer!), in the two years I was there, and with everything that country has given me. This is the reason why I'm going to India. Another stopover during this fantastic journey."
Delhi Dynamos CEO Sameer Manchanda said it was tough to convince a player of Del Piero's status to join the team. "We were tracking him (Del Piero) two months ago during the World Cup. Big players have hesitation. We had to sell India to him, had to sell the passion of the fans. I'm sure that he will inspire the team and be a delight for fans."

Blame it on Black? Nope, the Padres didn't, and they shouldn't
The Padres have pushed their $70-million lemon through the car wash and come clean. They've admitted their jalopy was the product of everyone on their assembly line – with the possible exception of salesmen Henry Paulson and George W. Bush – and that's still to be determined.
Tuesday, in the Petco Park dugout before a media contingent, they did an act of contrition and refused to fade from Black.
Just when so many thought the blame bomb would be dropped on sophomore manager Bud Black, the team announced he would return in 2009, the final year of his contract. He may be lame duck – OK by him – but he's still quacking around.
"If we thought it was Buddy Black," General Manager Kevin Towers was saying, "we probably would have let him go."
At least a few people remain in that organization with the ability to think clearly in difficult times without running to Nancy Pelosi for help.
I don't know enough about the art of managing – does anybody? – to determine how much Black had to do with their 99 losses. But I seriously doubt another skipper would have made them the '27 Yankees.
Black, who came within a pitch of earning a postseason berth his rookie season, didn't deserve a pink slip.
"This guy didn't get that dumb in one year," Towers correctly assessed.
The best manager in the National League this year was Manny Ramirez, the great hitter the Dodgers managed to get in an 11th-hour steal. Suddenly, Joe Torre was a Hall of Famer again.
"Those kinds of guys can make a manager look pretty good," Towers admitted.
Even with ManRam, the Bums managed to win just 84 games, or five fewer than the Black-led Padres won in 2007. Which is why there's a sliver of hope for next season. The NL West is not a Germanic tribe.
I'm certain Black made decisions he'd like to forget. Saying that, he probably did things that led to a few wins.
"Some moves I made didn't work out,' he said. "I accept that responsibility.
"I learned more this year than last year. I'm better off this happened. It humbles you."
The easy way out in baseball is to put it all on the manager – in the Padres' case, it's always much simpler to kick out the hitting coach – but Towers and CEO Sandy Alderson, whose fingerprints are on every decision, wisely did not take that alleyway.
They didn't jerk their knees. Towers met with Black for five hours in L.A. during the late-season series with the Dodgers. He went back to Alderson with "We've got to keep Buddy" in his notebook.
"There can be division when you place the blame on other people," Towers said. "The players can get confused (not unusual under many circumstances). We didn't think Buddy deserved it. To take this far of a step back is a wake-up call for everybody. We all think we failed this year."
So, does Black, who admits his failure.

"Atenas has a great year round climate, wonderful views, and its an easy to drive to the beach or to the many attractions in the Central Valley.

According to National Geographic Atenas has 'the best climate in the world'! We agree."

The General Services Administration launched the first-ever Public Participation Playbook. GSA said it will help federal agencies meet their open goverment priority goals. Justin Herman is SocialGov lead and manager of the Public Participation Playbook project at the General Services Administration. On In Depth with Francis Rose, he explained how it works.
Justin Herman, Social Media Program Lead, GSA
Cyber-vandalism presents a serious threat to agencies. Just ask U.S. Central Command. As several attacks over the past year proved, users need ways to prevent or at least counter intrusions of social media accounts. That's where the Social Media Cyber-Vandalism Toolkit comes in. It's a new "living document" from the General Services Administration. Justin Herman, the Social Media Program Lead in the Office of Innovative Technologies at GSA, joined Tom Temin on the Federal Drive to explain what's in the guide.

GSA led a 12-member interagency working group to create a set of measures specifically aimed at defining the usefulness of social media for agencies. The agency also released an API that lets users create tools to bring together government social media feeds in one place. Both tools are called for in the Digital Government Strategy.

have faced challenges. It is difficult to maintain funding over time, which means, for example, that it was necessary to make decisions on survey design with little research on survey methods because of shortage of funds to support that basic research. In the end, Massachusetts obtained useful information, but it was in isolation. Analysts need comparisons with other states for context and to support stronger evaluation designs.
Despite the relatively successful experience with state surveys in Massachusetts, Long contended that federal surveys are still needed. She made several recommendations of ways to make federal survey data more useful: (a) provide much larger state and local area samples, both overall and for key population groups (including children); (b) make state identifiers available outside of research data center settings; (c) add more geocoding of state and local areas; (d) for the ACS, add state program names to health insurance questions; (e) expand survey content to include questions on access, use, and costs of care, along with other issues of relevance to national health reform; and (f) make data files available more quickly and in user-friendly formats to facilitate their use by state analysts.

Two Midlands school districts have been selected to a national coalition of schools working toward innovation in technology and education.
Richland School District Two and Lexington School District One are two of the nine districts that will join the Digital Promise League of Innovative Schools this week.
"I'll tell you what technology is important to everybody these days and that's why it's important in learning. If you think about all of the resources that are available just right in your hands when you put a computer in a student's hands you know why it's important to learning," said Richland Two Superintendent Debbie Hamm.

Maple Leafs in playoffs: Bruins ready to pay the price
Expensive tickets and tough games are just part of the package in the playoffs, say the Boston Bruins.
|Report an Error
Share via Email
BOSTON—It's not just Leaf fans who are lamenting the exorbitant price of playoff tickets.
Bruins tough guy Shawn Thornton was bracing to take a financial hit when his team's first-round series against Toronto moves to the Air Canada Centre for Games 3 and 4.
"It feels expensive. I'm going to have to get a few tickets," said Thornton, who grew up in Oshawa and still has family there. "I think (the family is) afraid to ask for tickets because they know how expensive they are and I'm going to yell at 'em."
Thornton, at least, can take out his frustrations on the Maple Leafs beginning Wednesday night, when the best-of-seven set begins here at TD Garden. The 35-year-old veteran, who led the Bruins with eight fighting majors during the regular season, is expecting a grinding Game 1.
"I'm sure it will be physical. . . . The playoffs, the first games, the puck's usually optional for the first few shifts," said Thornton, who was drafted by the Leafs in 1997. "I'm sure it'll be a physical affair for the first little bit, until everyone settles down and gets into the groove.
The Bruins, though they have defeated the Leafs in nine of their past 10 meetings, aren't assuming their opponents to be a pushover.
"It's going to be different playing an organization that hasn't played in the playoffs recently," said Tyler Seguin. "Obviously they don't have that much experience, but they're going to have even more excitement. You have to be ready for that."
Seguin, the Bruins forward, was a childhood fan of the Leafs who attended plenty of games at the Air Canada Centre.
"I grew up hoping the Leafs would make the playoffs, and now here they are, playing against us," Seguin said. "It's a cool experience. It's an exciting experience."
Thornton, who has been a member of Stanley Cup winning teams in Anaheim in 2007 and Boston in 2011, said the post-season buzz never gets old, even as it gets pricier. The face value of Leafs tickets, already among the highest in pro sports, have been increased by about 75 per cent for their first post-season games in nearly a decade.
Thornton, who earns a salary of about $1.1 million, took pains to point out that he wasn't actually complaining about his financial lot in life.
"We do just fine," he said.
Besides, the opportunity to compete for the Stanley Cup is, as the TV ad says, priceless.
"There's nothing like it," Thornton said. "You play all year to put yourself in this position, playing this time of year. It's exciting. Can't wait."

On February 24, 2012, a New York court issued the first-ever reported decision in the United States on computer-assisted predictive coding, approving it as "an acceptable way to search for relevant ESI [electronically stored information] in appropriate cases." See Moore v. Publicis Groupe, 11-civ-1279 (ALC) (AJP), 2012 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 23350 (S.D.N.Y. Feb. 24, 2012). Predictive coding, as explained below, is a method of using computer software to identify the relevant documents. Under the right circumstances, use of predictive coding can be a less expensive alternative to the traditional document-by-document review model. Because this is the first court decision to discuss predictive coding, it will likely influence how predictive coding is treated by other courts.
As anyone involved in litigation knows, the cost of discovery is often the single most expensive part of a case. The discovery process often involves millions of emails and other ESI that are then filtered using search terms, date restrictions, or other methods to reduce the number of documents for manual review. Even after this filtering process, discovery often involves teams of attorneys performing a document-by-document review of a substantial number of emails and other ESI for privilege and responsiveness. Not only is this process expensive, it can also lead to inconsistent results.

Originally written on Pro Sports Daily | Last updated 11/12/14
NEW YORK -- With the outcome of Friday night's game against the Atlanta Hawks still hanging in the balance in the final minute, the Brooklyn Nets made sure that they got the ball in the hands of their point guard, even if he had missed his last nine attempts from the floor, because Deron Williams hasn't missed a free throw in what seemed like a lifetime. Interim head coach P.J. Carlesimo had no idea that Williams entered the final 60 seconds having made his last 43 free throws. But Carlesimo knows now, after Williams made four clutch free throws in the final minute, leading the Nets to a 94-89 victory over the Hawks at the Barclays Center. "Deron did an excellent job making the free throws," said Carlesimo, whose record as head coach improved to 10-2 with the win. "We got good possessions and Deron protected the ball and made the shots." Williams, who had 24 points, including 18 in the first half, made all seven of his free throws Friday night, increasing his current streak to...

Lupus; Treatment.
Whether your disease is mild or severe, you have to stay under close medical supervision. You should let your health care professionals know immediately if you suffer any injuries, get sick or plan to become pregnant because many things may cause your disease to flare.
Typical warning signs of a flare are:
increased fatigue, malaise and muscle aches (like the flu)
a new or higher fever
increased pain or swelling in the joints, especially when you wake up
development or worsening of a rash, particularly one that is made worse by the sun
shortness of breath or pain when breathing
Keep an open dialogue with a health care professional whom you trust and can easily reach in an emergency. If you are experiencing a flare, it might be important to receive diagnostic tests, change medications or postpone certain elective procedures or surgeries.
Although a lupus pregnancy is considered high risk, many women with lupus can carry their babies safely to the end of the term if they plan the pregnancy with the help of a rheumatologist and receive care from an experienced high-risk obstetrical team. Women with lupus have a higher rate of miscarriage and premature births compared to women without the disease. Currently, more than half of women with lupus have pregnancies that are completely normal, 25 percent deliver healthy babies prematurely, and 20 percent experience miscarriage or death of a baby. Those with antiphospholipid antibodies have a much higher risk of developing preeclampsia, a form of dangerously high blood pressure that increases the risk of miscarriage, low birthweight babies, premature births and injury to the mother. These complications sometimes occur in women with lupus who are not known to have antiphospholipid antibodies.
Several over-the-counter and prescription medications are available to manage lupus symptoms including:
Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) such as ibuprofen and naproxen, as well as aspirin.
Corticosteroids. These drugs, including prednisone (Deltasone), prednisolone (Prelone), hydrocortisone (Cortef, Cortaid) and methylprednisolone (Medrol), suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation. They can be taken orally, given through injection or used in cream formulations to treat skin lesions. However, they can lead to numerous side effects, including acne, weight gain, diabetes, cataracts, cardiovascular problems and heightened susceptibility to infections. People with lupus are especially prone to weakened or damaged bones, a side effect of high-dose or long-term corticosteroid treatment. People with lupus who take corticosteroids should talk to their health care professionals about taking vitamin D, calcium or other treatments to prevent osteoporosis.
Antimalarial drugs, such as hydroxychloroquine sulfate (Plaquenil) and chloroquine (Aralen), can control a variety of lupus systems including arthritis, skin rashes, mouth ulcers, lung rashes, fatigue and fever. They promote healthy blood vessels and have an anti-inflammatory effect. Side effects of antimalarials include nausea or diarrhea and, in rare cases, damage to the retina of the eye. A person taking antimalarial treatment should be examined by an eye doctor every six months to a year to prevent unnecessary optical damage. The beneficial effects of these treatments on symptoms are often slow at the beginning. It may take weeks or months for these medications to make an impact.
Other agents like methotrexate (Folex, Mexate, Rheumatrex), azathioprine (Asasan), mycophenolate mofetil (Cellcept), leflunamide (Arava) and cyclosporine (Sandimmune, Neoral) are sometimes used to control symptoms of lupus. These are immunomodulating drugs, and they have some side effects, such as nausea, diarrhea, mouth ulcers, rashes, liver toxicity and bone marrow suppression, usually leading to low white blood cell counts. Methotrexate can cause inflammatory damage to the lung or liver, and in the case of cyclosporine, there is a potential for kidney damage.
Chemotherapy. Under some circumstances, chemotherapeutic drugs such as cyclophosphamide (Cytoxan) may be used to suppress the immune system and inflammation. Cyclophosphamide can be used safely, with care, but can have significant side effects, including gastrointestinal complications, hair loss and greater risk of infection.

National League Preview from The Sports Network
Tuesday, August 19 (All times Eastern)
San Francisco Giants (65-58) at Chicago Cubs (54-70), 8:05 p.m.
Probable Starting Pitchers: San Francisco - Ryan Vogelsong (7-8, 3.71) Chicago - Tsuyoshi Wada (2-1, 3.15)
(SportsNetwork.com) - The San Francisco Giants are looking to regain traction in the National League playoff race. And a visit to Wrigley Field might be just the ticket.
The Giants open a six-game road trip on Tuesday night when they head to Chicago for game one of a three-game series with the host Cubs.
San Francisco won the final two games of a homestand against Philadelphia and sits 3 1/2 games off the pace of the Los Angeles Dodgers in the NL's West Division.
Michael Morse went 6-for-6 in the two wins.
"I'm just getting hits now. I'm not trying to do too much, just get a pitch to hit," he said. "I'm not seeing the ball any better, I'm being more patient."
The Giants have won five of their last six games at Wrigley Field and also beat the Cubs in two of three games during their late May visit to California.
San Francisco didn't allow a run on the final 20 innings of the series.
Right-hander Ryan Vogelsong can continue that streak with a start on Tuesday.
He's 2-0 with a 1.60 earned run average in his last three starts and has held his opposition to a .160 batting average. He got a no-decision against the Chicago White Sox in his last start on Tuesday, but allowed just two runs on three hits in seven innings.
In six starts at Wrigley, he's 3-3 with a 6.91 ERA.
Chicago enters the series after a four-game stint against the New York Mets in which its pitchers allowed 16 hits in 34 innings, which translates to a .140 bating average. It was the first time in 31 years in which it held a foe to four hits or fewer in four straight games.
It's never done it in five consecutive games.
Rookie Tsuyoshi Wade is unbeaten in his last four starts, winning two decisions with a 2.49 ERA. In his last outing on Wednesday, he held the Milwaukee Brewers to two runs and five hits in 6 2/3 innings of a 4-2 win.
On Monday, Anthony Rizzo hit a go-ahead solo homer in the eighth inning and the Cubs beat the punchless Mets, 4-1, to wrap up their four-game series.
The Cubs, who won the last two games of the series, got a two-run homer from rookie slugger Javier Baez on Monday and seven strong innings from Kyle Hendricks in his fourth straight win.
On Sunday, Brandon Crawford drove in two runs as the Giants grabbed a 5-2 win over the Philadelphia Phillies in the finale of a three-game series.
Michael Morse went 3-for-3 with two runs scored for the Giants, who have won three of their last four.
"He's getting his timing back. He's a good hitter," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said.
Tim Lincecum (10-8) pitched five innings and gave up two runs on seven hits with four walks and two strikeouts to win his first game since July 11.

The studythe most comprehensive review of interactions between rape survivors and the NYPD ever conducteddescribed police officers as sometimes aggressive, impatient, inappropriate, and generally insensitive to rape victims. The findings were based on information supplied by social workers and rape-crisis advocates about 200 rape cases that took place between January and September of last year.
Perhaps the biggest complaint, according to the alliance, was that police sometimes doubted survivors. "They didn't believe her story," one rape-crisis-center counselor quoted in the report says of the detectives who worked with her client. "It's very upsetting because of the terrible experience she had. I mean, just give her the time of day. Listen to her."
While the July 26 study referred to judgmental attitudes and aggressive questioning styles that could imply disbelief on the part of police, some rape-crisis workers report officers are also up-front about their doubts. "They say, 'You're lying' or 'You're making this up' directly to the survivor," says Ana Ferrer, coordinator of the Sexual Assault and Violence Intervention Program at Mt. Sinai Medical Center, who notes that many of the police interactions she witnesses are positive. Of the negative ones, Ferrer says most have involved teens, an observation that's consistent with the study's finding that 14-to 21-year-old survivors have far more negative experiences than those in other age groups.
The sense of being doubted is not only humiliating for victims of any age, but can also lower the chances a rape will ever be recorded and prosecuted. "If disbelief is expressed right up front, that affects the survivor's ability to continue through with a criminal justice report," says Harriet Lessel, executive director of the alliance. According to two national estimates, only 16 percent of rape victims report the crime.
Law enforcement officials think that doubt can be appropriate at times, though. Some estimate that as many as 10 percent of all sex-crime allegations are false. Linda Fairstein, chief sex-crimes prosecutor in the Manhattan D.A.'s office, puts the figure at 8 percent. Meanwhile, the alliance's Lessel believes the false-report rate for rape is the same as it is for other crimesabout 2 percent. "Sometimes people might recant their stories because they might not want to deal with the consequences of telling about their rape," adds Lessel.
Whatever the true number, cop behavior used to be far worse, according to Louise Kindley, a senior social worker at the Crime Victims Treatment Center at St. Luke's-Roosevelt Hospital Center who began working with New York City sexual-assault victims almost 20 years ago. "Back then it was very common for police officers to pull me aside and ask whether I thought a person had really been raped. But there is still a significant minority who are very intimidating," says Kindley, demonstrating the crude body language of some cops who stand over exam tables barking out questions or stare off into space when a woman is telling her story.
Perhaps the study's most surprising finding is that the majority of these unfavorable interactions involved not general-assignment, uniformed officers, who are usually younger and less experienced, but Special Victims Squad detectives. These investigators are specially trained to work on sex crimes, but were nevertheless more than twice as likely as uniformed officers or regular detectives to get negative reviews. The alliance estimates that in 10 percent of 48 randomly selected cases in the study, victims decided against filing police reports as a direct result of their experiences with Special Victims detectives.
While the police department declined to comment for this story, Fairstein, who was on vacation at Voice press time, told the New York Post that the alliance's report was "unfair, off-base, and infuriating," and that "NYPD Special Victims investigators are among the very best and most compassionate."
Special Victims' low marks may at least partly reflect the tricky job of these detectives, who are responsible for securing the precise details necessary to prosecute a case. Since rapists can be charged with a separate criminal count for each act of penetration, Special Victims investigators have to ask about exactly which body parts went where and how many times. Often they conduct these touchy interviews shortly after a woman has undergone not only the rape itself but also a grueling medical exam, which can last for hours as doctors scrape for evidence under her fingernails, examine her body for debris and bruises, and check her internally for semen, blood, and injuries.
State law has required hospitals to perform forensic rape exams on request for the past 10 years. But in that time, numerous bungled rape cases have pointed to the need for further action. In one 1994 incident, a schoolteacher who had been raped was made to wait for hours wearing just a flimsy hospital gown among handcuffed prisoners in the waiting room of Woodhull Hospital in Queens. Afterward, she received "archaic" medical treatment, according to Anna Quindlen, who wrote about the incident in The New York Times.

About Autoimmune Uveitis
Uveitis is an inflammation of the internal structures of the eye. There are two types of uveitis, infectious and noninfectious. Noninfectious uveitis is believed to be the result of an autoimmune disorder. Autoimmune uveitis affects approximately 175,000 people in the United States and can lead to blindness. Current treatments include topical and oral corticosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs; however, these generally have limited success and can lead to adverse effects.

The shiney new bike syndrom....

Well, what to say. I've gone from having to have the fastest, latest bikes, to bikes that are just plain fun to ride. Now, I go through a couple of different bikes every year. Currently, there is a Ducati S4, and a KTM 950SM. Neither are especially fast, but both are comfortable and run pretty strong. You mentioned your accessories. I used to buy all the stuff for them, full exhaust, the Duc has a $1100 Ohlins and Race Tech did the forks. But you never get that money back out of them. The KTM has a set of slip-ons and a jet kit, and the factory tank bag. But that's about it. Since these things (bikes in general) start losing value at a drastic rate once you roll them out the dealers door, I tend to buy them used.
That Big Super Tenere looks cool, but it also looks very large, very heavy. Same with the Triumph Trophy or whatever it's called, I sat on one over at the local dealer, but it sure is huge. Maybe for some Interstate Hwy boogieing, but on any kind of trail or whatever? No way.
Buy what floats your boat. I have a pretty short attention span, I'm looking at the Tuono V4 next.

Begin Smart(TM) Early Learning Program Provides New Toddler Books
CHAPPAQUA, N.Y., July 1 /PRNewswire/ — Begin Smart's Read-and-Play Program helps start babies on the road to literacy with age-appropriate concepts, simple language, and colorful images. Begin Smart helps kids take the next step with books for toddlers ages two to three. Adults will appreciate Lily's Potty and Pete's Potty which zero in on one of the important milestones for this group. Kids love the lift-the flap features and child-friendly language in books especially useful now getting ready for nursery school.
Two other books in this age level, What Shapes Do You See? and What Color is Your Apple? use simple graphics, bright photos, fun die-cuts, and interactive flaps to encourage kids to notice shapes and colors in the world around them. Like all Begin Smart books, these are perfect for sharing and will engage children and adults.
The content and formats are matched to children's interests and abilities at five developmental levels. For infants up to six months, My Little Baby shows adult and baby animals and the sounds they make. Human babies will love exploring textures in the touch-and-feel elements while learning to track, scan, and focus on objects. For ages six to twelve months, Where's Your Nose? has touch-and-feel elements, and helps babies learn parts of the body. Kids twelve to eighteen months delight in Round Balls, Round Balls, which uses a familiar rhyme to capture the antics of a group of stuffed animals. And ages eighteen months to two years have Counting Duckies, which uses the familiar image and feel of rubber duckies to teach counting. Each lists skills that are addressed and has notes on using the book.
Begin Smart books are designed to enhance motor and cognitive skills and promote interaction between children and caregivers. Perfectly sized for little hands and coded by age level, they appeal to the senses, promote bonding between baby and caregiver, and contribute to the child's intellectual, emotional, physical and social growth.
Every Begin Smart book is reviewed by experts in Early Literacy for content and age-appropriateness. The website www.beginsmartbooks.com, provides advice from child development experts, tips for creative ways to share Begin Smart books with babies, and an overview of the program.
