Fans stand and cheer for author J.K. Rowling
More News from Associated Press
NEW YORK— Just the mention of her name, J.K. Rowling, had the audience screaming and on its feet.
The "Harry Potter" author spoke before a capacity crowd Tuesday night at Manhattan's Lincoln Center in her sole U.S. public appearance to promote her first novel for grownups, "The Casual Vacancy."
Dressed in a dark skirt and dark sweater blouse, Rowling chatted with fellow author Ann Patchett, read briefly from her new book and also responded to pre-selected questions from fans. Rowling spoke before some 2,500 people, mostly women, gathered under the high, golden ceiling of the David H. Koch Auditorium.
The conversation was for adults — Rowling even used an obscenity — but she is returning to children's stories. Just don't expect any board books for toddlers — or a new Potter book

US ship heads out to destroy Syrian chemical weapons
Published on Jan 28, 2014 11:01 AM
WASHINGTON (AFP) - A specially-equipped US naval ship departed for Italy on Monday on a ground-breaking mission to destroy Syria's most dangerous chemical agents, Pentagon officials said.
Setting off from the port of Norfolk on the Virginia coast, the MV Cape Ray is due to arrive in the southern port of Gioia Tauro in about "two to three weeks," spokesman Colonel Steven Warren told reporters.
The 197.5 meter cargo ship has been outfitted with two large portable hydrolysis systems designed to neutralize lethal chemical agents in Syria's arsenal.
Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel sent a letter to Captain Rick Jordan and the 135-member crew telling them they were embarking on a "historic mission". "You are about to accomplish something no one has tried," Mr Hagel wrote in the letter released by the Defense Department.

Relocating to north to Maine ... looking at a new jib

Rep Power:
Don't know your boat, but on my masthead Peterson 34 sloop (which is usually moored on the mid-coast in Maine), I have a 135% genoa, a 100% jib, a heavy-weather staysail, and a storm staysail (these latter two hank onto a removable inner forestay).
For an offshore delivery from South Carolina to Maine, you're definitely going to want some way of reducing your headsail to well below a 130.
Do you fly your sails from a roller furler? hanks? or a slotted foil?
Are your jib lead cars easily adjustable on their tracks (e.g. block and tackle system vs. pin-stop)? How far forward do your tracks run?
Do you have a slotted toe rail to which you can attach snatch blocks for alternate leads?
Can you rig an inner forestay or a solent stay, off which you could fly heavy weather sails?
For sailmakers in Maine other than the North loft in South Freeport, I recommend:
Pope Sails and Rigging in Rockland:
Pope Sails & Rigging
Maine Sailing Partners in Freeport:
Maine Sailing Partners, Sailmaker, Racing, Cruising Sails
Hallett Canvas and Sails in Falmouth:

For rigging, I recommend Maloney Marine Rigging in Southport:

New tools for Hispanic diabetics
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Institutes of Health aim to help U.S. Hispanic diabetics enjoy traditional food, officials say.
A guide, Mas que comida, es vida —
It"²s more than food, it"²s life — provides new tools to Hispanics to prepare traditional foods in a more healthy way.
A few simple adjustments can make these dishes healthier and lower in fat and calories, Betsy Rodriguez of the National Diabetes Education Program"²s Hispanic/Latino Work Group says in a statement.
It is written in English and Spanish and includes a recipe booklet,
Tasty Recipes for People with Diabetes and Their Families, that offers food ideas specifically designed for the Hispanic palate. Among the recipes included are: Spanish omelet, beef or turkey stew, Caribbean red snapper, two cheese pizza and avocado tacos.
Compared to whites, Hispanics are disproportionately affected by diabetes — more than 10 percent of Hispanics age 20 and older have diagnosed diabetes. Among Hispanics, rates of diabetes are 8.2 percent for Cubans, 11.9 percent for Mexican-Americans and 12.6 percent for Puerto Ricans.
Meal preparation is a critical component of diabetes control, Rodriquez said.
Studies show that overweight or obese individuals can prevent or delay diabetes by losing just 5 percent to 7 percent of their total weight.
The recipe booklet is available at www.ndep.nih.gov or by calling 1-888-693-NDEP.

CHENNAI: The Earth is stated to be the land of Karma because it is here that bonded souls can be born as human beings to strive for release by working out their Karma. God also manifests in this world by assuming different forms from time to time to re-establish Dharma whenever there is threat to it. What then is the difference between human birth and that of the Almighty? The Lord incarnates out of His free will while human birth is the result of Karma. When a child is to be born its parents fervently pray to God that it should be good and uphold the values and tradition of the family. In the case of the Almighty, He chooses His parentage, and the lineage in which He is born attains immortal fame because of His birth in it. The descents of the Lord in human form as Rama and Krishna are a case in point.
In their discourse, Dhamal Sri Ramakrishnan and Srimati Perundevi Seshadri said the choice of the asterism, Punarvasu, for His incarnation as Rama was apt as Punarvasu etymologically meant regaining lost wealth, which is the crux of the Ramayana. Commentators interpret that this star also foretold that He would be born as Vasudeva's (Vasu in Punarvasu) son in His next advent. Besides being divine, Rama's birth was awaited with great expectation by Dasaratha, begotten as He was after the emperor who was childless for long performed a sacrifice. One can imagine the king's elation when instead of one he was blessed with four sons. Not only the citizens of Ayodhya but also the denizens of the heaven and the gods rejoiced.
The epic states how the king performed all the purificatory rites from naming of the children to investiture of the sacred thread. Valmiki observes about their virtues, "The eldest of them, Sri Rama, proclaimed the greatness of His race like a flag and proved to be the delight of His father. All the four princes turned out to be masters of the Vedas and great heroes, and all were intent upon doing good to the people. All were endowed with wisdom and all were adorned with virtues. Sri Rama, however, was exceptionally glorious of them all and possessed of true unfailing prowess... King Dasaratha, the father of them all, who were possessed of such glory and luminous splendour felt rejoiced as Brahma, the ruler of the universe."

Seller Information
|The Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6 L IS USM lens is the ideal telephoto zoom lens for advanced amateurs looking for that extra reach to bring a subject in tight and close. Providing the power and durability to maximize every shooting opportunity the Canon EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM lens features two UD ultra-low dispersion glass elements for enhanced sharpness L-series weather and dust sealing for shooting in harsh conditions improved mechanical design and streamlined ergonomics to help avoid inadvertent mode switch operation. The shapes of the lens elements and their coatings have been optimized to minimize ghosting and flare to produce high-contrast and high-resolution throughout the zoom range. A sophisticated floating system optical formula optimizes image quality at all distance settings and reduces minimum focusing distance by more than a foot. An updated optical image stabilization system compensates for camera shake up to an equivalent of four full shutter-speed steps a full step improvement compared to earlier EF 70-300mm lenses. A fluorine anti-smear coating is applied to the front and rear elements. Key Features: L-series – robust performance in all conditions Some say L stands for Low Dispersion - achieved by the UD lens elements found in these lenses. But the true answer is probably the one in Canons Lens Work III Book - L is for Luxury. In general Canon L series lenses focus fast. The wide maximum apertures (smallest number) and fast quiet USM motors (Ultrasonic Motors) enhance focusing speed. The image quality of the Canon L lenses is generally as good as it gets. Contrast sharpness color bokeh (background/foreground blur quality) flare CA (Chromatic Aberration) ... All are excellent. Full Frame camera body owners will especially find L series lenses to be (on average) significantly sharper toward the edges of the frame compared to lesser lenses. Canon signature image quality Thanks to two ultra-low dispersion (UD) elements and a floating lens group the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM captures stunning high-contrast high-resolution images with low levels of chromatic aberration throughout the zoom range. The lens makes use of Canons Super Spectra coatings reducing ghosting and flare to ensure the highest possible image quality and minimizing the requirement for extensive post processing. Four-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer (IS) Canons advanced optical Image Stabilizer (IS) provides photographers with a four-stop IS advantage enabling the capture of sharp images even when shooting at maximum zoom or in low light conditions by allowing the use of slower shutter speeds than would usually be possible with handheld shooting. USM Autofocus Motor Independent Lens CPU & Advanced AF Algorithms Autofocus (AF) is fast and quiet thanks to a ring-type USM AF motor combined with the independent lens CPU and advanced AF algorithms to enable accurate reliable focusing in all conditions. As with all Canon L series lenses full time manual focus override is possible allowing photographers to manually focus even when the AF motor is engaged. With a minimum focusing distance of 1.2m (3.9ft) throughout the zoom range photographers can achieve sharp results even when close to the action. Professional accessories As part of the L-series range the EF 70-300mm f/4-5.6L IS USM is supplied with a lens hood ET-73B and lens case LP1424 as standard. In addition an optional dedicated tripod mount C (WII) can be directly attached to the lens. This allows it to be stabilized easily and the camera switched quickly from vertical to horizontal and back without having to reposition the camera body on the tripod perfect for fast-paced action with a variety of subjects.

Is there a way to know when a user has pushed (via push()) an item onto an array?
Basically I have an asynchronous script that allows the user to push commands onto an array. Once my script loads, it execute the commands. The problems is, the user may push additional commands onto the array after my script has already run and I need to be notified when this happens. Keep in mind this is just a regular array that the user creates themselves. Google Analytics does something similar to this.
I also found this which is where I think Google does it, but I don't quite understand the code: Aa = function (k) { return Object.prototype[ha].call(Object(k)) == "[object Array]"
I also found a great example which seems to cover the bases, but I can't get my added push method to work correctly: http://jsbin.com/ixovi4/4/edit

A few years ago I thought I was crazy. Everyone that I was around would act the same way. Coughing, sneezing, touching their face and even strange grunting sounds. Maybe they are really sick, maybe they are not. Its definnetly not a chemical reaction from anything in your body. It takes time for air to move and anything from your body will not reach another person instantaneously.
There problem you are having is paranoia. Not that you are paranoid but the fact that other people most certainly are. To explain this observation using Metaphysics (I'm not an expert) Lets take a look at the current state of the economy. We are in a world reccession. The US deficte is in the Trillions. Every man, woman and child in the United States currently owes
for their share of the U.S. public debt. Believe or not the landscape of the American public has been alterted.
longer are we a nation of Christians but a nation of slaves. If you are not in the upper class you are considered to be of a lower class. People will judge you based on your status, they way you walk, and the decisons you make. Some people think it's a game while others don't have a clue. This has always been the case even in the 80's. It was just not as prevalant at that time as it is now.
Times have changed dramatically and so have peoples attitudes. Every one is super critical of each other. If you are tired of hearing sick people than your only option is to make it to a better place. I live in a rich suburb outside of Dallas and everone here is judgemental. I can tell becuase when I walk around in a suit people are a lot more pleasant. However, If I step out wearing a white t and sneakers, people are very rude. Again this is just my observation and I live in a very uptight community were everyone is a professional (or thinks they are) and is always trying to out do one another. I gurantee you that anywhere usa there is some kid in a classroom that doesn't understand why everone deliberately makes stange noises when they are around. Its just a behavioral phenomenon plaguing our country. Don't let it effect you. Always have a positive attitide and don't try and to comminicate with others in public using body language or making strange noises thinking that you will gain their respect.

Swipe, merge and sum up!
Welcome to 2048 Pro, a new version of the popular logic game for Android devices.
As you could expect, the objective in this game is to create a 2048 tile, which would mean you're the master of the game.
How to play? Well, your task is to swipe in any direction to merge two identical tiles, which will sum up and result in a new tile. You need to continue doing so and try to get the highest possible number, remembering that the game will be over when there isn't any space left to merge tiles.
The app includes four different difficulty levels where the goal changes from 1024 to 8192, whatever fits you best depending on your experience and perseverance.
The gameplay is always addictive and challenging and controls work well enough, although design is not as professional as we could expect.
HZDI is the developer of 2048 Pro, a game which isn't exactly original but is nevertheless a fun entertainment which will make users think and exercise their logic skills.Developer's original description available here
Probably you will find difficult to figure out the mechanism of this game because you didn't hear about 2048 Puzzle game.2048 Puzzle game is simple but very addictive game it's been viral and very famous this mounth.

WASHINGTON To be or not to be a tax?
That is the question in this month's U.S. Supreme Court case testing the validity of President Barack Obama's controversial healthcare system overhaul.
At issue is the money that Americans will have to pay starting in 2014 to the Internal Revenue Service if they fail to obtain medical insurance.
During his 2008 presidential campaign, Obama promised not to raise taxes on families earning less than $250,000. That's the same income bracket where a lot of people lack health insurance.
So, as president, Obama and his aides studiously avoided using the "t-word" as they worked to persuade Congress to pass the healthcare overhaul. Instead, they called it a "penalty."
Now enacted, the law itself refers to a "penalty" that must be paid if a taxpayer fails to get medical coverage.
Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius said at a recent congressional hearing that the payment "operates the same way a tax would operate, but it is not per se a tax."
Just last month, acting White House budget director Jeffrey Zients said in a hearing that it was not a tax.
Now, however, the White House needs to defend the healthcare law in court and things are different.
The Supreme Court starting on March 26 will begin hearing a case on whether Obama's healthcare overhaul is constitutional.
The administration is arguing the government can make people buy health insurance and charge them if they don't through its powers to regulate interstate commerce and to tax.
That argument raised some eyebrows and provided a "gotcha" moment for Republican lawmakers when administration lawyers argued in briefs filed before the Supreme Court that the minimum coverage requirement provision operated like a tax.
"The only consequences of failure to maintain minimum coverage are tax consequences," the administration lawyers argued in the briefs.
Healthy, high-fat diet may be a pipedream

No, definitely would not recommend. You know how to make shots, big shot. This is just for the player content with percentage tennis. The guy who doesn't get excited when they hit a great winner or an ace. It's for that sort of person because even when you hit the ball which would otherwise have been a winner because it goes right where you wanted it to and when the other player is in the perfectly wrong position, they still can get to it because there's no weight to it. It's just like feeding balls to different parts of the court. Yeah, you can have superb accuracy, but you're just waiting for someone else's mistake and ONLY that. Think about the guys you probably played in the first to second rounds in tourneys as a junior, the guy who just irritates everyone because he's quick, and puts the ball back where you don't want it, but makes you lose the point instead of him win it? Yeah, he'd love it.

Such was the slightly surreal spirit as Operation Rescue's latest antiabortion extravaganzaand the press covering itdescended on this beleaguered western New York town last week. While Operation Save Americaas the eight-day protest fest was calledchurned ridiculously on, you could see a reporter interviewing a man dressed as the grim reaper. A prochoicer engaging in loud, circular debate with a proliferwho was 10 years old. Or, inexplicably, a man dressed as Santa Claus, who occasionally flitted by protests, wearing a string of beer cans around his neck.
Six months ago, a sniper fired into the kitchen of Barnett Slepian, the only doctor in Buffalo's only abortion clinic. The murder once again brought the national spotlight to the antiabortion movement's small band of extremists. But even as news organizations followed Operation Rescue's national director, Flip Benham, as if he were a candidate for national office, the clearest message of this latest series of protests was that the group has spun further than ever from the mainstream.
In 1992, more than 1000 protesters showed for the Spring of Life, the first string of high-publicity demonstrations Operation Rescue staged in Buffalo, which Operation Save America is meant to commemorate. But this year, there were no more than 250 abortion opponents on hand, even though ringmasters Benham and Buffalo-based Bob Behn sent out some 60,000 invitations. And many figures central to earlier incarnations of Operation Rescueincluding Buffalo agitators Paul Schenck and Karen Swallow Priorhave sat out this year's street theater festival.
Piddling and strange as the current crop of fringe-dwellers are, though, their connection to antiabortion terrorismwhich they themselves have chosen to highlight by coming to Buffalocannot be ignored. James Charles Kopp, the fugitive wanted for questioning in the murder of Dr. Slepian, has been associated with Operation Rescue in the past, and it's not difficult to find Operation Save America participants who openly boast of being friends with Kopp. What's more, Behn announced the group's plans to come to Buffalo just eight days after the doctor's murder.
Operation Rescue insists its demonstrations were planned months before Slepian was killed, but the timing and location of this year's festival of zealots seems to offend most Buffalonians. "They came here to dance on his grave," says one churchgoer who described herself as "ambivalent" about the abortion issue.
Benham, who characterizes his movement as peaceful, puts it another way. Without disavowing the murder, he foists responsibility for the killing on the doctor himself. "The blood of Dr. Slepian is on the hands of Dr. Slepian," he told the press, most of whom wouldn't have been speaking to him had the doctor not been shot. "The same spirit of murder that allowed Bart Slepian to kill thousands of children here in Buffalo, New York, also took his life." Operation Rescuers also refuse accountability for the indecorous scheduling of their latest event. "God chose Buffalo," explains the Waco-based reverend, Rusty Thomas.
God presumably also told Operation Rescue to extend its campaign into every last sinful nook and cranny of our society. That means it denounces the public schools as Godless, both for not having prayer and for teaching sex education. It repeatedly condemns homosexuality. And it seems to oppose sex in general. "Jesus has come to free us from the bondage of sex," says Benham (meaning bondage in the figurative sense, one assumes). Contraception is also a no-no. "Birth control is the father of abortion," explains Steve Lefemme, an itinerant minister who says that he himself used to be a "fornicator" before he found God.
The diversification of Operation Rescue's activities may also have another explanation: With protesters now kept far from clinics, the group has been forced to find new venues to vent its rages. While Buffalo mayor Jimmy Griffin welcomed Operation Rescue into the city with open arms seven years ago, the current mayor, Anthony Masiello, has been clear about his commitment to protecting Slepian's former place of work, GYN Womenservices, which is also the city's only remaining abortion clinic. (In 1992, there were two clinics and two private offices providing abortions; now there is just one of each.) The 1994 Freedom of Access to Clinic Entrances Act makes it a crime to interfere with access to such buildings. And a judge recently widened the standard 15-foot buffer zone outside Womenservices to 60 feet especially for the occasion.
That means that when "rescuers" go to the abortion clinic on this particular jaunt, they face a phalanx of no less than eight different types of law enforcement officers from the local police up through the feds, all of whom wear the nonexpression of Buckingham Palace guards. SWAT teams survey protesters from nearby rooftops. And FBI videographers record their every move as a helicopter flies overhead.

Wow. I can't believe it's been 25 years of slicing, dicing and...cheese dip. I cannot wait for this issue. If you've never read Groo before then you sure have "erred." You should be familiar with Sergio Argones' work if you've ever read an issue of Mad Magazine. He does those little cartoons in the margins. He also did those (annoying because they're in the middle of today's comics) ads for Ball Park hot dogs. You know, the ones where the people have an arm coming out of their stomach holding the hot dog. For some reason that doesn't really make me hungry for hot dogs. But make sure you pick up Groo this week.
Celebrate twenty-five years of the world's stupidest barbarian doing stupid and barbaric things! After a brief hiatus, the Champion of Cheese Dip is back to battle the menace of "The Plague," an all-new story by the same guys responsible for all the Groo stories for the last quarter-century, Sergio Aragones and Mark Evanier. Also, thrill to The Groo Alphabet, a primer of that hero's friends and foes (mostly foes), followed by a special illustrated text story by Sergio and Mark on how this comic came to be and why it just won't go away. Plus other silly features.

The 18-year-old shuttler, fresh from her win in Maldives, says she is keen on improving and winning more titles
Appearances, they say are always deceptive. Not many regulars who visit Gopi Chand Academy in Gachibowli would have dreamt of such a fabulous finish in the big league when three relatively unknown faces — Kidambi Srikanth (winner of Thailand Open), Kidambi Nandagopal and K. Maneesha (mixed doubles winners in the Maldives Open) — hogged the limelight last weekend.
"We enjoyed every match and just played to our potential," says Maneesha, who visited the academy along with the Kidambi siblings on Tuesday. This B. Com II year student from Kukatpally won her maiden international title at Maldives is a doubles specialist — having won the junior national titles partnering P. V. Sindhu besides the mixed doubles title.
The 18-year-old, who learnt her basics from Mohammad Ali in Kukatpally before joining the academy, says she is keen on improving and winning more titles. Maneesha says since she trains with Nandagopal she had a better understanding in the game.
"Gopi sir will decide if we should as partners in mixed doubles," she says, even as the trio dedicated their victory to their coaches and parents.
"We hope this is just the beginning," they said.

Gas drilling debate rages in Del. River watershed
PLEASANT MOUNT, Pa. A few hundred yards from Louis Matoushek's farmhouse is a well that could soon produce not only natural gas, but a drilling boom in the wild and scenic Delaware River watershed.
Energy companies have leased thousands of acres of land in Pennsylvania's unspoiled northeastern tip, hoping to tap vast stores of gas in a sprawling rock formation - the Marcellus shale - that some experts believe could become the nation's most productive gas field.
Plenty of folks like Matoushek are eager for the gas, and the royalty checks, to start flowing - including farmers who see Marcellus money as a way to keep their struggling operations afloat.
"It's a depressed area," Matoushek said. "This is going to mean new jobs, real jobs, not government jobs."
Standing in the way is a loose coalition of sporting groups, conservationists and anti-drilling neighbors. They contend that large-scale gas exploration so close to crucial waterways will threaten drinking water, ruin a renowned wild trout fishery, wreck property values, and transform a rural area popular with tourists into an industrial zone with constant noise and truck traffic.
Both sides are furiously lobbying the Delaware River Basin Commission, the powerful federal-interstate compact agency that monitors water supplies for 15 million people, including half the population of New York City. The commission has jurisdiction because the drilling process will require withdrawing huge amounts of water from the watershed's streams and rivers and because of the potential for groundwater pollution.
The well on Matoushek's 200-acre spread in the northern Pocono Mountains is up first. The commission is reviewing an application by Stone Energy Corp. of Lafayette, La., to extract gas from the well - the first of what could be thousands of applications by energy companies to sink wells in an area roughly the size of Connecticut.
Stone Energy's application has already generated more than 1,700 written comments to the DRBC. The company, which paid a $70,000 penalty for drilling the Matoushek well without DRBC approval in 2008, has already received a permit from the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection.
Eager gas companies have leased more than 300 square miles of watershed land, conservation officials estimate.
"This is certainly just the start. There's a lot of acreage out there, and a lot of people interested in leasing their land," said Tracy Carluccio, deputy director of the anti-drilling Delaware Riverkeeper Network.
The Marcellus shale is a rock formation 6,000 to 8,000 feet beneath Pennsylvania, New York, West Virginia and Ohio, including about 36 percent of the Delaware River basin. New drilling techniques now allow affordable access to supplies in the Marcellus and other shales in the U.S. that once were too expensive to tap.
Energy companies combine horizontal drilling with hydraulic fracturing, or "fracking," a technique that injects vast amounts of water, along with sand and chemicals, underground to break up the shale and release the gas.
While gas companies refuse to identify the chemicals they use - claiming that is proprietary information - critics cite contamination problems in other natural gas drilling fields. They worry that unregulated fracking can taint drinking water, deplete aquifers and produce briny wastewater that can kill fish. In Dimock, Pa., about 40 miles west of the Matoushek well but outside the Delaware basin, state environmental regulators say that cracked casings on fracked wells have tainted residential water supplies with methane gas.

Arizona Diamondbacks
MLB.com: Matt Davidson ranked 6th-most talented third baseman prospect
While Justin Upton was unquestionably the headliner in Thursday's deal between the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves, another major component of the blockbuster trade was the swapping of third basemen (former All-Star Martin Prado and Chris Johnson).
Although the D-backs have placed an emphasis on tightening up the bullpen and outfield during the offseason, third base has actually been the one position that's resembled a revolving door this winter.
When Arizona acquired Johnson back in late July, it appeared at least as if the organization saw him as part of their long-term future. After he hit .286 with 35 RBI in 44 games with the team, that notion looked like a foregone conclusion.
Instead, the D-backs opted for a complete makeover.
In addition to Johnson's departure this past week, the team dealt Ryan Wheeler to the Rockies in November and signed veteran Eric Chavez on December 5.
While the acquisition of Prado (a career .295 hitter) might have seemed too good to pass up, Johnson's exit likely also has to do with one of the team's talented young farm hands.
In his annual Prospect Watch, MLB.com's Jonathan Mayo ranked Matt Davidson (AA-Mobile) as the 6th-best third baseman prospect in baseball.
A California high school product who was a sandwich pick of Arizona's in 2009, Davidson has always shown power and run-producing potential. While he continues to strike out a good amount, his overall approach has improved, allowing him to become a more complete hitter. Davidson shared time at third earlier in his career, but played there exclusively in 2012 and looks more and more like he will be able to stay there. A Southern League All-Star in 2012, Davidson was that league's championship series MVP as he helped Mobile win its second straight title, the kind of winning the D-backs hope Davidson brings to Arizona.
In 2012, Davidson hit 23 home runs and 76 RBI in 135 games with the Bay Bears.
Although Davidson's ascension through the D-backs' farm system has been notable to say the least, the organization has made it known that they'd like to extend Prado, who only has one remaining year on his contract.
Even so, it looks like Kevin Towers and Co. have plenty of insurance should they need it in the coming years.

I get the basic idea of what this document says, but there are just a few words I'm having trouble with.
1-On the second line, after Maria Grazia Raimondi is a word that looks like "Etalis" - what does that mean?
2-After his age, 72, is something that stars with "C" - what does that indicate?
3-The phrase "munitus in domo sua habitationis consueta in ???" - I assume this is basically saying he was given his last rights in his house, but the words munitus and consueta don't seem to fit, so I'm wondering what they mean in this context.
4-What is the word/words before "Cadaver" in the final prhase? It looks like "esasque" or "esas que" or something like that.
Thank you very much in advance for the help!

When it comes to historical art collections, the Mimara is certainly Zagreb's biggest in terms of quantity. Donated to the city by wealthy patron Ante Topić Mimara, the collection includes paintings, statues and archaeological finds, organised chronologically and thematically but with little by way of English explanation. Highlights on the ground floor include oriental carpets, south-east Asian sculpture and Chinese porcelain, while the picture galleries upstairs display works from every era from the Gothic period onwards, with artists like Velázquez, Rubens, Rembrandt and Manet each putting in an appearance. It's also an important venue for temporary exhibitions with an art or archeological theme.

At a small shop near the disputed temple site in Ayodhya, two security personnel sit relaxed on the porch, sipping their cups of tea. "Everything is normal here. This is the usual calm in Ayodhya," says one of them, not wishing to be named.
In Uttar Pradesh, where politics and important topics are vigorously discussed at chai-dukaans (tea-shops) on a daily basis, the atmosphere here, on the eve of the VHP's yatra, comes as a surprise. Besides a mention or two, the yatra did not figure much in conversations. The locals rubbished comparisons with the 2010 situation when the Allahabad High Court was to deliver its verdict on the dispute. They were keen on stocking up essentials in anticipation of a curfew.
The disruption of normal life and business figured high on the grievance list of locals and visitors alike. Devi Kumar, a pilgrim from Nepal who had just arrived with his family looked worried as he headed towards the bus-station. "We are leaving. We did not know about the situation. Will we get a bus to Gorakhpur? he asked.
Traders expressed frustration over the poor sales recorded in the recent Sawaan Mela due to fewer footfalls.
"Around 25,000 locals and 20,000 outsiders usually arrive here for the mela each day," says trade body president Nandu Gupta said.
"But since the neighbouring districts were blocked, people could not come. The Uttarakhand disaster had already ruined our business as pilgrims come here after visiting Kedarnath. But this has been the case several times in the past 20 years."
He criticised the VHP for "trying to milk the issue for political gains" with the elections coming up.
"The tussle between the VHP and the State has affected business and brought it to the brink," he said.
However, by and large, contrary to reports, the sleepy, temple town presented a picture of calm, though with hints of uneasiness. "The parikrama happens every year. It's normal. Only this time the parties have politicised it so much that we don't know if there will be a curfew or not," said Raju, a rickshaw-puller. Bhajans and aartis reverberated across the various mutts and akharas like usual. At Karsevakpuram, the workshop where stone carvings for the grand temple are kept, things went by at the usual slow pace.
However, Yugal Kishore Shastri, the former VHP secretary and mahant of the 'Ram Janki Temple,' close to the disputed site, said the yatra was a threat to the composite culture of the town. "There is no support for the VHP's movement in Ayodhya. The people have understood the motives of these organisations. This is 2013, not 1992." he said.
"This is an attempt to rejuvenate the BJP's lost votebank in the area. Without local support, their Mandir politics will not work," he said.
Devta Prasad, 52, runs a small eatery on the Gonda-Faizabad border. His shop was deserted as there was a roadblock formed hardly 50 metres away. "The vehicles are not being allowed to come. Usually this place bustles with customers at this time," he regretted.

Local buses
The local bus system in Luleå (LLT) is quite well-developed. Buses operate between most of the suburbs and central Luleå, as well as to the university and to Storheden (industrial area with many of the larger stores, like big supermarkets and outlet shops).
One single ticket for an adult (over 16 years) is 16 SEK, you can use the same ticket if you change to another bus within one hour of buying the ticket. If you are going to Gammelstad or somewhere else further away, the ticket is 26 SEK.
If you plan to use the LLT buses several times, you can buy a card that you can "top up" with any amount of money. With that card a single trip is only 12.80 SEK (9.60 during off-peak hours). Several people can use the same card on the same trip. However, when you buy that card you have to pay a deposit fee of 50 SEK (which you get back when you return the card). You can buy the card from the LLT office or on board any of the buses. There are also cards that give you unlimited bus travel for a month or more, but these are only good value if you travel a lot by bus.
The LLT office is located near the main bus interchange at Smedjegatan (intersects Storgatan - this is about a ten minute walk from Loet, which is the bus station where the long-distance and county buses stop. Only a few of the LLT buses stop at Loet).

Bolts know to remain cautious
SAN DIEGO -- Here we are, seven weeks into the NFL season, and it's easy to forget that several national publications predicted that the Chargers would bring up the rear of the entire league.
In its NFL preview issue, Sports Illustrated picked the Chargers to win only three games, a number they exceeded by beating Carolina on Sunday, while also matching their victory total from all of last year.
Then again, amid the constant reminders of the Chargers' eight-year playoff drought, it's easy to forget, too, that they jumped to a 6-1 start after seven games just two seasons ago, only to limp home with an 8-8 record in coach Marty Schottenheimer's first year. Or that they began 5-2 in 2002 before an epic implosion saw them drop their final nine games and cost Mike Riley his job.
So while the Chargers' 4-3 mark and second-place standing in the AFC West has justifiably raised eyebrows around the nation -- in fact, the team topped an ESPN poll on the biggest surprise in the NFL so far -- Schottenheimer and his charges know better than to grow fat and happy from a taste of success.
"We're 4-3, and that's only one game above .500," Schottenheimer said Monday. "And .500 won't get it (done) in the league. (The players) work hard, they play hard. They're getting a better understanding of what it is we're trying to do, particularly on the defensive side.
"But it's still the NFL. It's day to day."
In Schottenheimer's first season, the schedule ultimately caught up with his upstart team. After easily dispatching in the first three weeks opponents that would go on to win a total of 11 games, the Chargers wilted during a brutal nine-game finishing stretch against foes that featured an aggregate final record of 78-66.
This year, by contrast, the road to hoe appears much more forgiving. Only two winning teams are among the Chargers' last nine opponents, beginning with Sunday's home game against 2-5 Oakland.
"That doesn't interest me at all, and I know it doesn't reflect in any way what it will be like when we play somebody," Schottenheimer said.
Linebacker Steve Foley is taking to heart his coach's strong note of measured praise and cautious optimism.
Foley is in his first year in San Diego, but he knows well the sting of losing. He played his first five seasons in Cincinnati and the most recent one in Houston. Only twice did those teams win more games than the Chargers have right now. His teams have a 24-72 record.
"I wasn't here last year, but it means a lot to me that we have these four wins," Foley said. "No one is riding a high horse, but everyone realizes what we have here and our potential, how far we can go.
"It's still early in the season. That's how we're looking at it. They say winning and losing only matters in November and December. Right now we have a winning record, but it's not like we're sitting in first place in our division."
