So how did she have the strength to live, to make it through? "It's a tough question. I just kept going," she says. "I don't know why I was spared, why I kept going to recovery and others didn't. I kept saying, 'I'll give sobriety one more chance.' I realized there was more to me than being a drummer in a rock band. Now, having a passion for dogs, getting married, having a baby.... I'm finding things I enjoy helped with getting clean and enjoying these things."
Now seven years sober, Schemel has a wife, a one-year-old baby, Beatrice, and her own dog daycare business. She performs in various bands, teaches, and mentors for girls' rock 'n' roll camps. Coming full circle, Schemel is currently in a band, Green Eyes—named after a Hüsker Dü song from Flip Your Wig—with her brother Larry. She also plays drums for Psychic Friend, who have a song at the end of Hit So Hard.

Sid and Nancy:
25th Anniversary
35mm Screening
Wednesday 10.12, 7 p.m. and 9:15 p.m., Trylon Microcinema
A timeless portrait of '70s punk on the big screen, in all its furious and visceral glory. Gary Oldman's killer breakthrough performance as Sid Vicious, bassist of the Sex Pistols, should have won him an Oscar. The inevitably tragic ending is one of the most heartbreaking and cinematographically poetic of any we've seen.
Sigur Ros: INNI
Thursday 10.13, 9 p.m., Ritz Theater
Icelandic for "inside," Inni is a darkly beautiful black-and-white documentary focusing on the intimate experience of a Sigur Ros performance. The movie's cocoon-like atmosphere is enhanced by an archival photography feel, warm even in its monochromatic tone. Director Vincent Morisset filmed the original digital footage on 16mm, then re-filmed it using prisms and other found objects, making the film look as though it's an artifact from the past.
The Other F Word
Saturday 10.15, 7:30 p.m., Ritz Theater (with opening performance by punk-rock veterans the Magnolias and a free afterparty with Banner Pilot at the 331 Club)
This film depicts what its like for punk rockers—the ultimate anti-authoritarians—to become fathers. It's a hilarious and moving look at the punk dads, who used to rebel against their parents and authority figures, coming to terms with being parents themselves.
Hit So Hard: The Life and Near Death of Patty Schemel
Friday 10.14, 7 p.m., Ritz Theater (with opening performance by Pink Mink)
Schemel will be present for the Sound Unseen screening on October 14 and a post-film Q&A. She says she's excited to return to Minneapolis. "My favorite album of all time is the Replacements' Sorry Ma, Forgot to Take Out the Trash. All the bands on the Twin/Tone record label were amazing and very important in my life. I loved playing First Avenue and the Entry. Both of those were huge. And seeing Babes in Toyland—I loved them."

A volcano in the Galapagos Islands erupted for the first time in more than 30 years Monday, spilling streams of bright orange lava and raising fears for the world's only colony of pink iguanas. The Galapagos National Park warned on Twitter that Isabela Island, where Wolf Volcano erupted at dawn, holds "the world's only population" of the critically endangered Conolophus marthae, also known as the Galapagos rosy iguana. Park officials then flew over the zone to assess the impact of the eruption.
By Lisa Twaronite TOKYO (Reuters) - Asian shares turned higher on Tuesday, reversing earlier losses on the back of gains in Hong Kong and China, while the dollar extended highs scaled in holiday-thinned trading in the previous session. MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan rose 0.5 percent, after eking out a late gain in the previous session. Hong Kong's Hang Seng index jumped 1.5 percent, flirting with seven-year highs, on expectations of more money inflows from the mainland following Beijing's fresh moves to expedite cross-border investment.

Trojans Accounted for 70 Percent of the New Malware Detected During the Second Quarter of 2009, According to PandaLabs
One of the most notable findings of the report is the 6.25 percent drop in spyware, which now represents just 6.9 percent of all new malware. In contrast, adware rose dramatically over this period, from 7.54 percent in the previous quarter to 16.37 percent. This is largely due to the increase in fake antivirus applications, a type of adware that passes itself off as a legitimate security solution. As for worms, their percentage has also risen slightly, now accounting for 4.4 percent of all malware.
Trojans were also responsible for more infections than any other type of malware over this period. This type of malware was behind 34.37 percent of all infections detected by PandaLabs, an increase of 2.86 percent with respect to the previous quarter. Adware infection levels remained stable, accounting for 19.62 percent of the total.
Worms increased slightly (0.89 percent), staying in the picture due largely to the effectiveness by which they spread. Dialers, at 4.48 percent, stubbornly refused to disappear despite the overriding trend for broadband instead of dial-up connections.

MiRFinder: an improved approach and software implementation for genome-wide fast microRNA precursor scans

BMC Bioinformatics 2007, 8:341 doi:10.1186/1471-2105-8-341Published: 17 September 2007
MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are recognized as one of the most important families of non-coding RNAs that serve as important sequence-specific post-transcriptional regulators of gene expression. Identification of miRNAs is an important requirement for understanding the mechanisms of post-transcriptional regulation. Hundreds of miRNAs have been identified by direct cloning and computational approaches in several species. However, there are still many miRNAs that remain to be identified due to lack of either sequence features or robust algorithms to efficiently identify them.
We have evaluated features valuable for pre-miRNA prediction, such as the local secondary structure differences of the stem region of miRNA and non-miRNA hairpins. We have also established correlations between different types of mutations and the secondary structures of pre-miRNAs. Utilizing these features and combining some improvements of the current pre-miRNA prediction methods, we implemented a computational learning method SVM (support vector machine) to build a high throughput and good performance computational pre-miRNA prediction tool called MiRFinder. The tool was designed for genome-wise, pair-wise sequences from two related species. The method built into the tool consisted of two major steps: 1) genome wide search for hairpin candidates and 2) exclusion of the non-robust structures based on analysis of 18 parameters by the SVM method. Results from applying the tool for chicken/human and D. melanogaster/D. pseudoobscura pair-wise genome alignments showed that the tool can be used for genome wide pre-miRNA predictions.
The MiRFinder can be a good alternative to current miRNA discovery software. This tool is available at http://www.bioinformatics.org/mirfinder/ webcite.

After Tuesday night's storm ripped through the area, many Appalachian Power customers suffered through the day Wednesday without electricity. According to the power company, customers in Logan and surrounding areas, including Mud Fork, Sharples, Latrobe, Accoville, Chauncey, Stone Branch, Gilbert and Justice, experienced widespread and scattered power outages.
The storms that ripped through the area on Tuesday evening into the morning on Wednesday brought torrential down pours. Much of the area was under a flash flood warning until late Tuesday night. Nearly 20,000 customers in Logan county alone lost electricity in the storm.
Fountain Place Plaza retail stores Walmart, Burkes, and Lowes, along with multiple restaurants and smaller businesses, had no electricity for most of the day on Wednesday unless it was provided by generators.
Sources say the 138 kVA transformer was out at Mud Fork. Crews worked diligently since late Tuesday night to address the problem. Electricity was restored to the area around 4:30 p.m. Wednesday.

red bell pepper, seeded and cut into 1/4-inch dice

3 tablespoons
fresh lime juice
2 tablespoons
chopped fresh parsley, basil or cilantro
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
This recipe was all right. The taste was really good, but the texture was kind of a turn off. So I ended up throwing it all in the blender and pureeing it. Consistency is much better. I used fresh cilantro, as that is what I had around the house. It was very refreshing, but I don't know if I'll make it again.
I added a couple of pears and pureed a portion of the red pepper,pineapple, and pears. The appearance is very enticing.

This is about a 3.5 or so. Tasty. I also pureed all the ingredients as I despise chunky gazapachos. I strained it as well and then then added back about half of the pulp to the liquid portion. Very spicy at first. Chill for best results.
The texture was too chunky....so I also pureed all together. I used half of a small vadalia onion and only tablespoon of basil. Probably used a little more than 2 cups of pineapple (just the whole pineapple). Very different from what I am used to eating, but it is good. Not sure I'd make it again.

Anti-Oedipus Press • 2014
A semi-sequel to the visionary Anti-Twitter: 150 50-Word Stories, Induced Coma: 50 & 100 Word Stories once again features Harold Jaffe writing to the Nth power, taking as his subject no less than the benighted globe. Including published mainstream narratives and "news" articles from the US and abroad, the collection covers an extraordinary range of subjects—activist art, global warming, revolution, the entertainment industry, and the freakishly banal happenings of our day-to-day lives—all of which the author deconstructs to expose their ideological subtexts in uncanny ways. Satirical, critical, tragic and ruminative, Jaffe works every register masterfully. Induced Coma is a singular tour de force composed by one of the most innovative writers of our generation.
"Upending the notion of 'flash' by installing a cryptic directness that tells of our times unflinchingly, without artistic fluff or emotional posturing, Jaffe has continued his venturesome break with tradition in Induced Coma. They're not sleepers; these miniature anti-fictions give maximum pleasure. They also create unease and awareness. Absorb them." —Stephen D. Gutierrez
"A wonderfully prismatic insight into the current mania of our society, Induced Coma simultaneously offers a comment on the reductivism of Twitter culture—and exponentiates the form to a level of psycho-philosophical prose poetry, with infinite nuances and ironies." —R. Sebastian Bennett
"Harold Jaffe's Induced Coma makes 'news of the weird' not only not-weird but also not-news. In other words, Jaffe has brilliantly turned all our news into weird news." —Mark Yakich
Harold Jaffe is the author of 22 volumes of fiction, novels, docufiction and essays, most recently Anti-Twitter: 150 50-Word Stories, OD, Paris 60, Revolutionary Brain and Othello Blues. His books have been translated into 15 languages and he has received many accolades, among them two NEA grants, two Fulbright fellowships and three Pushcart Prizes. Jaffe teaches literature at San Diego State University and is editor-in-chief of Fiction International.

Bourn happy to be healthy and back in lineup
AUG 16, 2014 6:39p ET
CLEVELAND -- After not having the chance to put his name in the lineup the past five weeks, Terry Francona was happy to write Michael Bourn's name in for Saturday's game against Baltimore.
Bourn has missed the past 35 games due to a left hamstring strain that occurred on July 5 against the White Sox.
"I'm going to be happy to get out there. Hopefully my jitters wont get going too much, but I'm sure they will," Bourn said. "So you miss it while you're gone, just like anything in life. I'm just excited to be back and playing."
Bourn is batting .267 in 66 games and remains second in the American League in triples with nine. Jason Kipnis handled the leadoff duties and batted .238. The Indians have a .249 average from the No. 1 spot in the order, which is tied with the Reds for sixth worst in the Majors.
With Bourn returning, Kipnis goes to batting fifth followed by Yan Gomes, Lonnie Chisenhall, Zach Walters and Chris Dickerson. Michael Brantley moves back to center while Dickerson will play right for the first time this season.
"It's nice to have Bourney back but when you look at our lineup with Kip hitting fifth we've positioned ourselves where we have a thicker lineup," Francona said.
With Bourn not playing in Friday's 2-1 win in 11 innings, he is likely to be in the lineup for Sunday's series finally, especially with an off day on Monday.
Said Bourn about his hamstring: "I think I'm ready. I'm not going to try to hold back or anything (or) be easy on the bases. I just came back, but whatever the game calls for, I'll try to do it. Tonight will be my first test and I'm ready for it."
ROTATION UPDATE: With Monday's off day, Corey Kluber will get an extra day of rest. The right-hander will pitch Thursday's series finale at Minnesota with Trevor Bauer going on Tuesday and T.J. House on Wednesday.
Kluber could have gone on his normal day, which would be Wednesday, but with only one other off day (Aug. 25) before the Indians begin a run of 30 straight games, all parties decided it was best to give him the extra day.
"Moving him back a day is not going to affect anything and it will probably be the last time. Take the rest when you can get it and use it to your advantage," Francona said.
WALKING OFF: The Tribe's seven walk-off homers this season are tied for second most in a single season in team history. The 1995 team had nine.
With Mike Aviles' homer in the 11th, six different players have had walk-off homers for the Indians. According to STATS LLC, that is one shy of matching the Major League record shared by the 1963 Indians and '86 Padres.

Jai Sri Ram
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jai Sri Ram means "Hail Lord Ram"[1] or "Victory to Lord Rama", Hindu deity and the seventh Avatar of Lord Vishnu.[2] Religious Hindus consider chanting Jai Sri Ram is a way to get rid of anxieties.[3] Lately it has been used by Hindu nationalists as a slogan in Indian politics.[4]

Yes standing and I know the bent knees trick, I was doing my best imitation of a jockey.
I was surprised that for such relatively mild weather the motion was so violent.
I've been in higher wind and bigger seas with green water over the bow with less boat motion.

The sudden speculation Nargis Fakhri and Uday Chopra split is not without reason. The actress has been posting rather emotional messages on her Twitter account. Uday has always been open for his feelings for her. But she has never commented on their relationship. While her publicist confirms that the couple haven't separated, one has to wonder what is behind her meloncoly mood. Here sample some of her tweets...

Burnt Galaxy S4 owner gets offered a new One M8 by HTC
About a month back, a reddit user 'TweektheGeek' was woken up by the smell of his Galaxy S4 (not related to this recent incident), which overheated and started melting while the phone was charging overnight. In this case, the person was using original Samsung parts, including the battery and the charger.
After contacting Samsung about it, the reddit user was promised a replacement phone and a box to send the damaged phone to the company. However, the user only received a box and never received his new phone despite several attempts to contact the company, which later started ignoring him.
As he was telling his story on reddit, an HTC Product Manager replied to his post and offered him a brand new HTC One M8 as a replacement for his old Galaxy S4 for no extra charge. The only thing he asked for in return is that if Samsung were to ship him his replacement phone some time in the future, the user should donate the replacement phone to charity or auction it off and donate the funds to a charitable organization.
This is an excellent gesture from HTC and it's not an uncommon thing for the company, which has in the past offered a free device as a gesture of goodwill to other people under various circumstances.
It's unlikely that Samsung will stay quiet after all this but unfortunately for them, they have already lost a customer, and probably a few others who may have read this story.

Charges Dismissed
Prosecutors have dismissed all charges against two former pro-Israel lobbyists accused of disclosing U.S. defense secrets, ending a four-year legal saga. During that time former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice and other Bush administration supporters had to take the witness stand. At the heart of Keith Weissman's and Steven Rosen's case was the question of whether secret negotiations and discussions between government officials, lobbyists and reporters are legal.
