WikiLeaks has lost its PayPal account.
The eBay unit stopped handling contributions to the renegade site late Friday night citing unacceptable use.
Meanwhile, Sweden has issued a new arrest warrant for WikiLeaks leader Julian Assange on allegations of rape, sexual assault and unlawful coercion made in the name of two female Swedish WikiLeaks volunteers in two separate incidents this summer.
Assange is understood to be in the UK and British authorities reportedly had technical problems with the original warrant. They needed to know how much time he's looking at if convicted.
European media, even WikiLeaks itself, are claiming the irresponsible attention-seeking 39-year-old Australian troublemaker could be arrested in the next week to 10 days.
No formal charges have been filed. Swedish authorities say they want to talk to him again. His Swedish lawyer told Reuters Assange will fight extradition. His UK lawyer previously indicated as much.
Wonder whether Assange has been counting on PayPal receipts to pay his mounting legal bills.
PayPal said on its blog that it "has permanently restricted the account used by Wikileaks due to a violation of the PayPal acceptable use policy, which states that our payment service cannot be used for any activities that encourage, promote, facilitate or instruct others to engage in illegal activity. We've notified the account holder of this action."
The New York Times, which has been a party to WikiLeaks' drip-by-drip release of a huge pilfered cache of 252,000 frank diplomatic cables and State Department documents, says it's illegal to leak classified information, but it is not illegal to receive or publish it. Pretty to think so.
Ellsberg decision or no, it's not as simple as that and actually falls into a twilight state of American law under which the US government could charge Assange under the 1917 Espionage Act which covers receiving and retaining stolen government property it asked him to return.
Knowing as much Assange is reportedly afraid of being extradited to the US. He told the Guardian Friday in an online Q&A that he had sent the documents to 100,000 people just in case.
In response to PayPal's move WikiLeaks predictably twittered that the online payment service had bent to "US government pressure."
After Amazon kicked it off its cloud servers, visualization company Tableau Software erased WikiLeaks content from its site and EveryDNS.net pulled the plug on its WikiLeaks.org domain name, WikiLeaks turned up using a Swiss web address that directs traffic to servers in France.
When last seen France's Industry Minister was talking about outlawing WikiLeaks' use of the OVH infrastructure in France but the French servers are only part of WikiLeaks' network which now spans domains in Germany, Finland and Holland, not counting mirror sites. It also has other ways to collect money although Wired claims that "most of the over $1 million in contributions WikiLeaks has drawn in the last year have come through its PayPal account."
According to WikiLeaks' moving web site, which has been repeatedly downed by denial of service attacks this week, it takes in donations at a post office box in Australia, through bank transfers to accounts in Germany and Iceland, and through MasterCard and Visa credit card payments.
Presumably the US government is doing what it can to trace any money flowing to the outlaw site to see if there is a larger destabilizing force behind it than the hordes of titillated individuals cheering it on. It may also be able turn off WikiLeaks' other spigots of cash.
This is not the first time PayPal has cut WikiLeaks off from donations but, judging from Paypal's statement, apparently it is the last. Because PayPal froze WikiLeaks' account twice before the latest brouhaha, contributions intended for it were redirected to the Wau Holland Foundation in Germany, named for a German hacker. So it is actually Wau Holland's account PayPal has terminated.
Meanwhile, the US government has forbidden government workers and contractors without proper clearance to access the documents on WikiLeaks. Well, at least on their office computers. It says the documents' unauthorized disclosure – "whether in print, on a blog or on web sites" – doesn't declassify them. The Library of Congress has blocked access to WikiLeaks.

Choosing the right cloud for your workloads is a balancing act that can cost your organization time, money and aggravation - unless you get it right the first time. Economics, speed, performance, accessibility, administrative needs and security all play a vital role in dictating your approach to the cloud. Without knowing the right questions to ask, you could wind up paying for capacity you'll never need or underestimating the resources required to run your applications.

Chomsky on the Late Michael Ratner & How U.S. Thawed Cuba Ties to Avoid Dwindling Regional Influence
At the opening of the Cuban Embassy in Washington, D.C., last year after almost half a century, Democracy Now! spoke to attorney Michael Ratner, who played a key role in fighting for the habeas corpus rights of Guantánamo prisoners and wrote several books about the U.S. role in Cuba and Latin America. We discuss his legacy and new U.S. stance toward Cuba with Noam Chomsky, who argues the change came about in part because the United States was being driven out of the hemisphere. "Latin America used to be just the backyard. They do what you tell them. If they don't do it, we throw them out and put in someone else. No more. Not in the last 10, 20 years."
Chomsky on Obama's Visit to Hiroshima & Presidential Legacy: "Nothing to Rave About"
This month President Obama will become the first serving U.S. president to visit Hiroshima, Japan, where the U.S. dropped an atomic bomb toward the end of World War II on what Noam Chomsky calls "the grimmest day I can remember." Chomsky examines the U.S. role in launching the nuclear age, Obama's role in continuing it, and the rest of his legacy. "I don't usually agree with Sarah Palin, but when she was ridiculing this—what she called this 'hopey-changey stuff,' she had a point. There were a few good things. ... But opportunities that were available, especially in the first two years when he had Congress with him, just were not used. By the standards of U.S. presidential politics, it's kind of nothing special either way, nothing to rave about, certainly."
Chomsky: Today's Republican Party is a Candidate for Most Dangerous Organization in Human History
We speak with world-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky about the Republican party, the rightward shift in U.S. politics and the 2016 election. "If we were honest, we would say something that sounds utterly shocking and no doubt will be taken out of context and lead to hysteria on the part of the usual suspects," Chomsky says, "but the fact of the matter is that today's Republican Party qualify as candidates for the most dangerous organization in human history. Literally."
Noam Chomsky: Brazil's President Dilma Rousseff "Impeached by a Gang of Thieves"
As protests continue in Brazil over the Legislature's vote to suspend President Dilma Rousseff and put her on trial, Noam Chomsky notes that "we have the one leading politician who hasn't stolen to enrich herself, who's being impeached by a gang of thieves, who have done so. That does count as a kind of soft coup." Rousseff's replacement, Brazil's former vice president, Michel Temer, is a member of the opposition PMDB party who is implicated in Brazil's massive corruption scandal involving state-owned oil company Petrobras, and has now appointed an all-white male Cabinet charged with implementing corporate-friendly policies.
Chomsky: Saudi Arabia is the "Center of Radical Islamic Extremism" Now Spreading Among Sunni Muslims
As Saudi Arabia continues to fund fighting in Syria and Yemen, Noam Chomsky says it is "the center of radical Islamic extremism." Chomsky adds that the U.S. ally is "a source of not only funding for extremist radical Islam and the jihadi outgrowths of it, but also, doctrinally, mosques, clerics and so on, schools, you know, madrassas, where you study just Qur'an, is spreading all over the huge Sunni areas from Saudi influence."
Noam Chomsky on Syria Conflict: Cut Off the Flow of Arms & Stop Bombing to Stem the Atrocities
Today, the U.S. and Russia co-chair a meeting of the 17-nation International Syria Support Group aimed at easing the five-year conflict with a death toll that has reached close to half a million people. Just last month, President Obama announced the deployment of 250 more Special Operations troops to Syria in a move that nearly doubles the official U.S. presence in the country. Syria is only one of a number of ongoing deadly conflicts in the Middle East. Last year, a record 60 million people around the world were forced to flee their homes, becoming refugees. For more on these conflicts and the rise of ISIS, we continue our conversation with internationally renowned political dissident, linguist and author, Noam Chomsky. "The U.S. invasion of Iraq was a major reason in the development, a primary reason in the incitement of sectarian conflicts, which have now exploded into these monstrosities," says Chomsky. He has written over 100 books, most recently, "Who Rules the World?" Chomsky is institute professor emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he's taught for more than 50 years.

Chomsky on Supporting Sanders & Why He Would Vote for Clinton Against Trump in a Swing State
Who is the world-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky voting for? "In the primaries, I would prefer Bernie Sanders," Chomsky says. "If Clinton is nominated and it comes to a choice between Clinton and Trump, in a swing state, a state where it's going to matter which way you vote, I would vote against Trump, and by elementary arithmetic, that means you hold your nose and you vote Democrat. I don't think there's any other rational choice."
Chomsky: Hillary Clinton Fears BDS Because It Counters Decades of US Support for Israeli Aggression
We speak with world-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky about where the Democratic presidential candidates stand on the issue of Israel and the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement, or BDS. "Boycott and sanctions make perfectly good sense when these tactics are properly applied, as they often are," Chomsky says. "You can understand why Hillary Clinton is frightened of them. They might undermine the policy of her husband and his predecessors, and Obama, as well, to support Israeli violence and aggression."
Chomsky on Trump's Climate Denialism: He Wants Us to March Toward the Destruction of the Species
World-renowned political dissident Noam Chomsky weighs in on Trump's candidacy for the Republican presidential nomination, particularly his denial of climate change and push for greater militarization. "Trump is saying, 'Yeah, let's make the global warming problem as dangerous and imminent as possible. Let's march towards destruction of the species, like we're destroying everyone else. And let's escalate militarization and, at the same time, sharply cut down resources by radical tax cuts, mostly for the rich,'" Chomsky says. "This is a really astonishing moment in human history, if you look at it."
Noam Chomsky: Climate Change & Nuclear Proliferation Pose the Worst Threat Ever Faced by Humans
President Obama has just passed a little-noticed milestone, according to The New York Times: Obama has now been at war longer than any president in U.S. history—longer than George W. Bush, Franklin D. Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln. Obama has taken military action in at least seven countries: Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Pakistan, Yemen and Somalia. Just last month, President Obama announced the deployment of 250 more Special Operations troops to Syria in a move that nearly doubles the official U.S. presence in the country. As war spreads across the globe, a record 60 million people were driven from their homes last year. Experts warn the refugee crisis may also worsen due to the impacts of global warming. Over the weekend, NASA released data showing 2016 is on pace to be by far the hottest year ever, breaking the 2015 record. Meanwhile, many fear a new nuclear arms race has quietly begun, as the United States, Russia and China race to build arsenals of smaller nuclear weapons. These multiple crises come as voters in the United States prepare to elect a new president. We speak with one of the world's preeminent intellectuals, Noam Chomsky, institute professor emeritus at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he has taught for more than 50 years. His latest book is titled "Who Rules the World?"

Alabama Prison Strike Organizer Speaks from Behind Bars: We Are Engaged in a Struggle for Our Lives
We go behind bars to get an update on the end of a 10-day strike by Alabama prisoners to protest severe overcrowding, poor living conditions and the 13th Amendment of the U.S. Constitution, which bans slavery and servitude "except as a punishment for crime," thus sanctioning the legality of forced, unpaid prison labor. "These strikes are our methods of challenging mass incarceration, as we understand the prison system is a continuation of the slave system, which is an economic system," says Kinetik Justice, who joins us by phone from solitary confinement in Holman Correctional Facility. He is co-founder of the Free Alabama Movement and one of the organizers of the strike. He says organizers tried petitioning their conditions via the courts and lawmakers, but when they were unsuccessful, "we understood our incarceration was pretty much about our labor and the money that was being generated from the prison system, therefore we began organizing around our labor and used it as a means and a method to bring about reform in the Alabama prison system."
Amid Ongoing Conflict in Syria, Activists Work to Keep Alive Revolutionary Spirit of 2011 Uprising
As the death toll in Syria's five-year conflict reportedly reaches half a million people, we look at how Syrians are working at the local level to survive and organize in the midst of war—and to keep the revolutionary spirit of the 2011 Syrian uprising alive. We are joined by Yasser Munif, a Syrian scholar who specializes in grassroots movements in Syria, who describes the ongoing work of media activists, journalists, medical crews and rescue workers. "They don't perceive the kind of work they are doing as humanitarian or relief work. They perceive it as the backbone of the revolution," Munif notes. "The revolution is still alive. It may be marginal, but if there is a ceasefire … it can come back. It is very much invisible and, for some, unthinkable." Munif is the co-founder of the Campaign for Global Solidarity with the Syrian Revolution.
With Rousseff Out, Brazil's Interim President Installs Conservative All-White, All-Male Cabinet
Brazil's former vice president, Michel Temer, assumed power as interim president Thursday after the country's Senate voted to suspend President Dilma Rousseff and begin impeachment proceedings over accusations she tampered with accounts in order to hide a budget shortfall. Rousseff called the move a coup. Temer is a member of the opposition PMDB party and has been implicated in Brazil's massive corruption scandal involving state-owned oil company Petrobras. He was sworn in Thursday along with a new Cabinet that is all white and all men, making this the first time since 1979 that no women have been in the Cabinet. We are joined from Rio de Janeiro by Andrew Fishman, researcher and reporter for The Intercept, who discusses the role of the United States in protests against Rousseff, and the background of Temer's new Cabinet members.

Suing Dictators Around the World: A Look at How Michael Ratner Helped Reshape Human Rights Law
Michael Ratner's activism and human rights work dated back to the 1960s. He was a student at Columbia Law School during the 1968 student strike. He joined the Center for Constitutional Rights in 1971. His first case centered on a lawsuit filed on behalf of prisoners killed and injured in the Attica prison uprising in upstate New York. Ratner was deeply involved in Latin America and the Caribbean, challenging U.S. policy in Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Puerto Rico and elsewhere. In 1981, he brought the first challenge under the War Powers Resolution to the use of troops in El Salvador, as well as a suit against U.S. officials on behalf of Nicaraguans raped, murdered and tortured by U.S.-backed contras. In 1991, he led the center's challenge to the authority of President George H.W. Bush to go to war against Iraq without congressional consent. A decade later, he would become a leading critic of the George W. Bush administration, filing lawsuits related to Guantánamo, torture, domestic surveillance and the 2003 invasion of Iraq. He also helped launch the group Palestine Legal to defend the rights of protesters in the U.S. calling for Palestinian human rights. We speak to three close friends of Ratner, all fellow attorneys: Reed Brody of Human Rights Watch; Michael Smith, board member of the Center for Constitutional Rights; and Jules Lobel, president of the Center for Constitutional Rights and a law professor at the University of Pittsburgh.
Julian Assange: Michael Ratner was a "Campaigner for Justice" from Guatemala to Palestine
On Wednesday, the trailblazing attorney Michael Ratner died at the age of 72. In recent years, Ratner served as the chief attorney for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange and became a leading critic of the U.S. crackdown on whistleblowers, including Chelsea Manning and Edward Snowden. We reached Assange in the Ecuadorean Embassy in London, where he sought asylum nearly four years ago.
Remembering Michael Ratner, Pioneering Lawyer Who Fought for Justice from Attica to Guantánamo
The groundbreaking human rights attorney Michael Ratner has died at the age of 72. For over four decades, he defended, investigated and spoke up for victims of human rights abuses across the world. Ratner served as the longtime president of the Center for Constitutional Rights. In 2002, the center brought the first case against the George W. Bush administration for the indefinite detention of prisoners at Guantánamo. The Supreme Court eventually sided with the center in a landmark 2008 decision when it struck down the law that stripped Guantánamo prisoners of their habeas corpus rights. Ratner began working on Guantánamo in the 1990s, when he fought the first Bush administration's use of the military base to house Haitian refugees. We begin today's show with a speech he gave in 2007 when he was awarded the Puffin/Nation Prize for Creative Citizenship.

Creating a channel-based mask
Creating a channel-based mask
You may already be familiar with the fact that a color image is comprised of multiple channels that represent the individual colors, the primary colors. In most cases those channels are red, green and blue for an RGB image and that represents the amount of red, green or blue light that is included for each individual pixel, determining the overall brightness and color values for each of those pixels. But you can also use those channels as the basis of a layer mask. Let's take a look at how it's done.
I have an image here and I'd like to select the foreground so that I can replace the sky, for example. So I'll go to the Channels panel and if you don't have the Channels panel visible, you can go to the Window menu and choose Channels. But then we can click on each thumbnail in turn for the red channel, the green channel and the blue channel and what we're looking for is the channel that has the best contrast for the area of the photo that we want to se...

Ozone treatment rapidly activates MAP kinase signalling in plants
*For correspondence (fax +1 604 822 8640; e-mail email@example.com).
†These two authors contributed equally to the work described here.
Brief exposure to ozone, a potent cross-inducer of plant stress responses, leads within minutes to activation of an ERK-type MAP kinase (approximately 46 kDa) in tobacco. This activation process is calcium-dependent and can be blocked both by free radical quenchers and by a specific inhibitor of MEK-1 (MAPKK). Hydrogen peroxide and superoxide anion radicals can substitute for ozone as the activation stimulus, which does not appear to require salicylate as an intermediary. The properties of the ozone-induced MAPK suggest that it may be SIPK (salicylate-induced protein kinase), a tobacco MAPK that is activated by a variety of stress treatments. The ability of ozone to activate SIPK indicates that this protein kinase acts as a very early transducer of redox stress signals in plant cells.

IT, BPO and consulting services firm Hexaware Technologies today lowered its revenue outlook for the October-December quarter, citing changes in a contract and a USD 4,50,000 hit on account of Hurricane Sandy.
"Due to certain unforeseen changes to a project plan in a large engagement for a customer, Hexaware now expects the revenues for fourth quarter of 2012 to be USD 92 million.
The revised revenue guidance also includes impact of USD 450,000 on account of Hurricane Sandy on the Eastern Coast of the US," Hexaware said in a filing to the BSE.
While reporting earnings for quarter ending September 30, 2012 (third quarter), Hexaware had issued a revenue outlook of USD 94.7 million-96.5 million for fourth quarter of 2012.
Hexaware expects to grow 18 per cent year-on-year in the Calendar Year 2012. In FY2011, the company's revenue stood at USD 308.1 million, it said.
The revised outlook is about 2.85 per cent below the lower end of its earlier outlook and 4.66 per cent below the higher end.
"The relationship with the client remains solid. All other projects and initiatives with the client continue unchanged and on track," Hexaware Technologies CEO and Vice Chairman P R Chandrasekar said.
The company remains on course to deliver above industry revenue growth over the medium term, he added.
Hexaware would have a material adverse impact on the profitability margin metrics this quarter on account of the revision in the revenue outlook and due to continued investments, Chandrasekar said.
"Notwithstanding this development, Hexaware continues to strengthen its execution engine; enhancing its domain capabilities and technological competencies and increasing its field presence from business development perspective," he added.
Hexaware, which follows a January-December fiscal, would report its results for the quarter ending December 31, 2012 and full year 2012 in early February, 2013.

If you crave something other than the usual Miller best-of compilation, here's a set tailor-made for you. The recordings on this disc date from July 1939 to July 1942 -- prime years for the Miller organization. It's an odd mix, offering five instrumentals and 20 vocals, featuring Marion Hutton, Skip Nelson, Ray Eberle, and a young Kay Starr (on "Baby Me"). But as a companion piece to any Miller best-of, this one's a keeper. ~ Cub Koda

Product Description
From Amazon
Writer and musician Dave Bidini has uncovered a story that will make you feel good about being a sports fan again. Bidini, guitarist for the Rheostatics and author of Tropic of Hockey, spends a season in picturesque Nettuno, Italy, with the local Serie B baseball team, the Peones, and reveals a spirit and attitude about sport long forgotten in North America. These Italian Bad News Bears have nicknames like Golden One, Skunk Bravo, and the Emperor, but the most interesting character is their manager, Pietro Monaco. An Italian baseball legend, Pietro has been infected by the game like a virus. His passion for the sport makes him a demanding taskmaster as he attempts to motivate a group of unpaid players who have little to gain--win or lose. He is the type of inspirational (and imperfect) figure one used to read about in old sports novels, and his story is the essence of Bidini's book.
At moments Bidini acts as travel guide, as he explores his temporary seaside home. At other times, Baseballissimo reads like a memoir of Bidini's own journey. Having spent his youth casting off his Italian roots, Bidini finds himself an outsider in his mother country, but as he rediscovers his love of baseball he also reconnects with his cultural heritage. Reviewing this book requires the kinds of cliches that would be banal in other circumstances but are unavoidable here. Heartwarming, inspirational, and touching, Baseballissimo delivers exactly what you'd expect from a book about young men playing a sport for no reward other than the love of the game. Readers will cheer the Peones because one never has to wonder what motivates them, or their Canadian friend. --Moe Berg --This text refers to the Hardcover edition.
From the Inside Flap
In the spring of 2002, Dave Bidini set off for Nettuno, Italy, with his wife, Janet, and their two small children, in search of his favourite summer game, baseball. Nettuno was his destination because this town, south of Rome, has been the baseball capital of Italy since 1944, when the game was introduced by the American GIs who liberated the region. Bidini wanted to spend time in a town where everyone is as nuts about the game as he is, and in Nettuno, they love the game so much that they hand out baseball gloves and bats to children taking their first communion.
For six months Bidini followed the fortunes of the Serie B Peones, Nettunese to the core. At the same time he was also learning about his own heritage, having spent his youth vigorously ignoring his Italianness. The result of his summer in Italy is vintage Bidini: a funny, perceptive, and engrossing book that takes readers far beyond the professional sport to the game that people around the world love to play.

Bidini captures the essence of this in fantastic detail with the wit that has me eagerly reaching for another one of his books. An awesome work on an awesome game that shares experiences internationally.

Baseballissimo is by Dave Bidini, a Canadian author. A surprisingly high percentage of the offbeat and intriguing books that I come across are by Canadian authors. I don't know how it works exactly, or what the income tax rate must be in Canada to subsidize such a program, but apparently the government actually pays authors to write books. They paid Bidini to take his family (wife, toddler, and infant) to Nettuno, Italy for six months so he could follow the local baseball team, the Peones for a season, and write a book about it. He says his choice was between baseball in Italy or wrestling in Newfoundland. Doesn't sound like a tough choice to me.
Bidini sits in the dugout and sometimes warms up with the Peones, an amateur team in one of the several Italian leagues. He gets to know the players and gives them all nicknames. He finds out how baseball came to be so popular in Italy (American GIs introduced it during World War II). He and his family become temporary residents of the small town of Nettuno near Anzio and about an hour's drive south of Rome. Bidini gets in touch with his roots - his grandparents were immigrants to Canada from Italy. He reminisces about how baseball has always been a part of his life. And he follows the Peones from pre-season training to the exciting season finish against Palermo.
Sometimes you get the feeling that Bidini cares more about the game than the Peones do. They're a good team, but it's just amateur baseball, and they all have day jobs and girlfriends and lives. Bidini's pushing forty and the manager, although still fit and athletic, is in his sixties. The players, mostly in their twenties and in a country where soccer is king, are sometimes late for practice, or are more interested in the fantastic pre-game snacks they've brought. Since this is Italy, there are no hot dogs and sunflower seeds. It's homemade pizza, smooth espresso, and sugary pastries. Sure, the players want to win, and they go all out when they play. But to them it's just a game. Little do they know.
Dave Bidini's book Baseballissimo, however, says it all: A portmanteau of the Italian word for "lovely" and the game Bidini loves, baseball. Baseballissimo. One word says it all.
You can read the summary and find out that Dave Bidini travels to Nettuno, a city in Italy with a deep-rooted love for baseball that dates back to World War II, and even further back than that. He spends the summer getting to know the players on the Peones (yes, that is really their name), the history of the sport in Europe, and the land of his grandparents. I want to say something more about this book than just what is on the back cover.
To call Dave Bidini a Canadian Mark Twain is an insult to both Bidini and Twain (and probably Canada.) Sure, there are many similarities: both authors wrote wonderful prose about their observations while traveling around the world, but Twain could never have written about baseball with this much love [nor could he have traveled to distant lands in search of hockey ("Hockey Nomad" by Bidini is a must see) nor could Clemens write "Legal Age Life at Variety Store" (Whale Music by the Rheostatics is a must listen.)] Both authors are also institutions in their respected countries. Both authors (and I hate them for this and love them even more) write in a style that is complicated, deep, and nuanced with humor and wisdom simultaneously, while at the same time makes writing in this complicated, beautiful style seem easy. It's not easy. Twain was a genius and Bidini is so multi-talented that he is in a different category. Twain can't play rhythm guitar or sing about "Ladies of Montreal" and Bidini could not fall in love with the Mississippi River the way Twain did. The Welland Canal maybe, but not the mighty Miss.
I digress. This book stands on its own merit. Bidini has a unique gift where he can write prose that seems to fall on the page woven with the imagery and poetry that only a gifted songwriter could craft. There is a rhythm to his sentence structure and word choice that is second nature for a great musician. And the internationalist angle is clear where a Canadian is writing about the American pastime in Italy. Baseball is a greater melting pot than the nation that birthed it.
Structurally, the chapters alternate between Bidini in Italy, to Bidini as a boy and young man watching his team the Toronto Blue Jays, as well as historical chapters on some baseball heroes from World War II. This book sweats baseball at every corner and every swing of the page. Dave Bidini hooks you in this book with every player, every anecdote, and every play-by-play of any game he recalls from his memories or transcribes from his notes.
If you love baseball or Italy or the Blue Jays or the Rheostatics (they make small appearances every once in awhile) or feel good, underdog stories about baseball, do yourself a favor and buy this book. All hail Bidini.

This is one of my favorite courses in California! The fairways are so well maintained they would have any gardener envious. The greens are always in great shape too!
Coyote Moon is a beautiful course and the views are spectacular. Every hole presents a new opportunity and challenge without being impossible. The holes are well-sheltered from the wind, which can be a problem in the area. The course is in excellent shape and is well-maintained. The staff is friendly and helpful. The restaurant and bar provide a comfortable ambiance...
Found the course okay to play. The staff were friendly but the price does NOT warrant the course. The practice area consists of four mats into a net and a reasonable putting area. Expect lots of hills and side slopes. The greens were fairly good. The sand traps NEED sand! The golf carts are in good condition and electric. The...
From the practice green through the 19th hole, the view from this golf course are amazing. A challenging course that will test all aspects of your game while you are in awe of the trees, mountain dos and other natural sights around the course. Hole #13 is one of the coolest holes in the region. A definite "must play" when...
Coyote moon is an exceptional course, one of my favorites I have played although it is pricey. A round here, even at twightlight runs 100+
I've played all the courses in Truckee and this by far is one of the best. This is an amazing mountain course so expect fast greens, a lot of up and down, and long an narrow holes.
What can I say other than I'm a sucker for well-maintained tree lined golf courses. This is one of those! Other than all those pine needles on some of the greens and some blind tee shots it was a fantastic golf experience. Now that I know where to 'miss' it, I can't wait to go back for another crack at...
Our foursome keeps going back to this course whenever we're in the Tahoe area. The course is well maintained and drop dead beautiful. The course design uses the trees, elevation changes, and wildlife areas to best advantage. It's challenging enough to demand the best game from low score golfers yet forgiving enough allow everyone, even newbies, to enjoy the round....
Coyote Moon is set in the pristine forest just north of I-80 in the Truckee area. It is challenging, but fair, and beautiful almost beyond belief. Other than the club house, maintenance building and 2 bathrooms on the course, there are no houses or other buildings in sight. And the 13th, what a hole with a 120' elevation drop from...

The Squatter and the Don (Recovering the U.S. Hispanic Literary Heritage)
The Squatter and the Don, originally published in San Francisco in 1885, is the first fictional narrative written and published in English from the perspective of the conquered Mexican population that, despite being granted the full rights of citizenship under the Treaty of Guadalupe-Hidalgo in 1848, was, by 1860, a subordinated and marginalized national minority.

Recommended to Dusty by: John Gonzalez
Shelves: read-in-2009, graduate-school
The first novel composed in English by a Mexican-American writer, The Squatter and the Don is to the Chicano/a literary movement a magisterial accomplishment, a must-read historical fiction about the blue-eyed Mexican aristocratic families who remained in the United States after — and were marginalized by the lackluster upholding of — the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty that ended the war with Mexico.

I always feel too bad about giving books 1 stars but this one was pretty close to getting only that. While the history of the book was interesting the storyline was just awful for me. The romance parts made me want to gag, I couldn't stand the character of Mercedes. It was just overall very hard for me to read this book I had to force myself to finish it, and honestly, if I didn't have to read this for class I most likely would have abandoned it half-way through.

A literary masterpiece The Squatter and the Don is not. It's not enough to observe that it follows the conventions of the sentimental novel, though it certainly does that. There's all the sighing and fainting and blushing one could possibly hope for hear. But Ruiz de Burton was not interested in creating a masterpiece even of the genre, so the result is quite a bad sentimental novel.
But that is not to say that the novel is without either literary historical interest. On the contrary, it is a fas ...more

part social justice tract, part sentimental melodrama. confoundingly racist against Indigenous peoples while claiming native status for californios. former Spanish land grant holders undone by us Anglo squatters and corrupt federal and state politicians colluding to bring railroad (and wealth) to San Francisco rather than San Diego. results in decline in wealth and health. luckily for those who live, the white knight steps in at last minute and restores wealth and well-being to all.

Shelves: fiction, 19th-century
The current scholarship on the writings of Maria Ampara Ruiz de Burton's most recognized novel, The Squatter and the Don, is relatively thin. Available criticism often addresses the themes of nationalism and racism prevalent in Ruiz de Burton's literary treatment of the political fallout that followed the 1848 American annexation of California from Mexico. While her novel is most notable for her stunning ability to portray the emotional and economic impact of dividing and resettling the Mexican ...more

Recommends it for: the American Supreme Court c. 1872
Maria Amparo Ruiz De Burton mixes ridiculous melodrama with in-depth political discourse in the newly-American California c1850 - 1880. Laws were enacted making it possible for white Americans to settle on and make claim to what had been Mexican owned land. Serious shit.
RDB throws in a Mexican-American romance for obvious reasons but then fails to acknowledge any kind of Mexican heritage or history, instead doing everything she can to favorably align Californios with white American high society ...more

Love it when a book melds history and fiction. There are two intertwined stories here. One is about the the relationships between two families, and the other is about the railroads in California, particularly San Diego. The greed and corruption of the railroad barons are staggering. I certainly didn't know about the history of the Southern Pacific railroad (now Union Pacific).

The main story was very interesting but there were some rather slow bits in it that often made me lose focus. The legal language can get a bit overwhelming also.

This novel was assigned to me one year for an American Literature class. It was a bit difficult to get into, but it is a good story of how Americans stole land from Hispanics during the Gold-Rush era. The novel discusses the lives of an Hispanic family and an American family and how their lives differ, even though their lives are intertwined.

An oddly prescient Victorian style novel about the tensions between "Spano-Americans" and Anglo settlers in the wake of the Guadalupe-Hidalgo Treaty of 1848.

We know it sounds gross, but it's actually a super-exciting innovation in a world where antibiotic-resistent bacteria are becoming more and more common.
In a recent Canadian study, researchers gave 27 patients pills containing, not poop exactly, but the cleaned bacteria from a donor's healthy poop. Each of the participants suffered from recurrent C-diff infection, a bacterial infection that's both debilitating and very difficult to treat with antibiotics. Half a million Americans get C-diff each year and 14,000 of them die.
When you take a very powerful antibiotic, unfortunately it kills both the good and bad bacteria in your body, often leaving you more susceptible to future infections. But, new successes in using healthy bacteria to combat infection could represent a whole new approach to healing the body more naturally, with fewer side effects and less long-term damage.
The major drawback? Participants had to swallow 24-34 capsules (all in one sitting) for the treatment to be effective. Yikes. (The Huffington Post)
