Fantasy Beat
Hot Spots: First Base, Third Base, and Designated Hitter
Prospects Justin Smoak and Ike Davis were called up this week, but the accompanying fanfare makes Smoak a poor under-the-radar "Value Pick," while Davis would have to blow through his 90th PECOTA projection to produce rosterable values at 1B. Two other callups spelled the end for one Value Pick, however, as other VPs struggled through tough weeks.
The usual small-sample qualifiers accompany one-week performances, but for David Freese, the season-long sample space has been long enough to drop him off the list, after a week when he hit .125/.222/.125 to produce the ugly totals you see above. With Felipe Lopez behind him and a strikeout rate pushing 30%, Freese's leash is getting shorter, despite hitting .500 with RISP. He should come around if he's given the chance, but that's a big "if," and a trade might be the only thing to help Freese thaw out.
Luke Scott, hitting .222/.222/.333 for the week, has performed so poorly that Baltimore brought up OF Lou Montanez, a former prospect with a .247/.285/.376 major-league line, and 1B Rhyne Hughes, who crushes righties, which is supposedly Scott's job. When Scott feels pressure from two mediocre minor-leaguers and an equally weak Nolan Reimold, that's trouble. Scott could right the ship and return to this list, but Value Picks must deliver value, something he hasn't done, so he gets the boot, too.
Brandon Inge's .160/.276/.240 line last week matched his career 1.67 Bash (TB/H) rate, and his 11% walk rate is the same that he's had all year. With no one pushing him for playing time, Inge will have time rebound, just as Gaby Sanchez should also recover from his .154/.267/.231 week, though Sanchez feels the pressure to stick in the bigs.
Daric Barton's .250/.478/.313 week highlights his patient batting eye, which continues to make him a great play in Scoresheet and OBP leagues. Get Andruw Jones while you can, since his hot week (.294/.429/.882, with 3 HR and 2 SB) has caught the attention of a lot of owners, and he won't be an underappreciated Value Pick for long.
New addition Ty Wigginton is a borderline Value Pick, mostly because his monster .320/.397/.720 week put him on the rosters of 25% of ESPN and 50% of CBS owners, probably in the 2B slot. This qualification delivers extra value, but also makes him so fringe-y, since Brian Roberts has begun his slow rehabilitation, and Wiggy's playing time—and value—will drop off significantly when Roberts returns.
But Wiggy's perceived value is low after a pratfall .273/.314/.400 in 2009, a line partly driven by an unlucky 7.9% HR/FB and a career-low 5.3% walk rate. BP's writeup also points that he moved to a home park that's less favorable to righties, a theory supported by his splits this season: six of his eight extra-base hits have come away from Camden Yards, and this week's explosion came amid a week-long road trip.
So gather ye rosebuds while ye may with Wigginton, who could struggle in this week's homestand, but bring better value when they head out on the road again next week. Since Wiggy's 50th percentile PECOTA projection is above average at 3B, he'll give value in the long run. A lack of guaranteed playing time makes it unclear how long that run will be, so use him selectively.
The recently activated Russell Branyan failed to attract the attention of 71% of CBS and 97% of ESPN owners, who were undoubtedly concerned about his health. Back injuries, like the herniated disc that kept Branyan off the field in spring training, tend to recur and sap power. This happened to Branyan in 2009, when his first-half .280/.382/.573 evaporated into .193/.274/.414 after the break, thanks to back problems that plagued him down the stretch.
Branyan flies that injury risk like a Jimi Hendrix freak flag, and playing him at 1B will keep it flapping, even if he's not playing full time at 1B just yet. His whifftastic ways won't help your batting average unless he blows through his 90th PECOTA percentile, but he'll hit 20-25 longballs in just his 60th. If you need power and can absorb the BA hit (or could benefit from his OBP boost), Branyan is a good high-risk, high-reward gamble in deeper leagues.
Medical update: In the no-surprise category, Chipper Jones's hip and Nick Johnson's back are acting up. Ryan Zimmerman is trying to avoid the DL for his strained hamstring, something DH Carlos Guillen couldn't do with his hammy or 3B Edwin Encarnacion with his sore throwing shoulder.

What Happens if I'm Allergic to Anesthesia?
What happens if you are allergic to the anesthesia drugs you receive?
Allergy denotes a response by the body's immune system to a `foreign` substance. Usually the substance (or `allergen`) is something not ordinarily harmful to the body, such as penicillin.
Severe allergic reactions during anesthesia are fortunately rare, occurring only once in every 5,000 to 25,000 anesthetics. Unfortunately, these reactions can sometimes be fatal, with a 3.4% mortality.
The most severe form of allergic reaction is known as `anaphylaxis`. During an anaphylactic reaction the patient may experience difficulty breathing, as air passages close up. Swelling of the face and mouth can occur, and a reddish skin rash is also sometimes seen. The heart and blood vessels are severely affected, and this is the hallmark of the condition: the heart rate increases and blood pressure can drop to dangerously low levels.
Anaphylaxis during general (asleep) anesthesia presents in a similar way but there are three unique features. First, the patient who is asleep cannot tell us about light-headedness or breathlessness which might be early warning symptoms. Second, during a typical general anesthetic, many drugs are given, and it is hardly ever clear which of these drugs have caused the reaction. Third, during anesthesia there are many other potential causes for the blood pressure to be dropping or the air passages to be closing off. A diagnosis of anaphylaxis is therefore not always easy to establish.
Although severe allergic reactions may be a little more difficult to detect under anesthesia, a patient having an anaphylactic reaction under anesthesia is actually in a very good place to get promptly treated. All the necessary equipment and medication to successfully treat the reaction is at hand in the operating room. Anesthesiologists are experts in the treatment of such reactions. Treatment may include insertion of a breathing tube, administration of intravenous fluids, and a variety of drugs, the most important of which is epinephrine (adrenaline). Early and appropriate treatment is almost always successful.
It is worth noting that drugs are not the only cause of allergic reactions, and a recently recognized cause of anaphylaxis is allergy to natural rubber (or `latex`). Reactions to latex are a special problem during anesthesia as surgical gloves are usually made of this material.
Two final notes about allergy. First, many allergic reactions are not life-threatening, resulting only in a transient skin rash or such symptoms as nausea and vomiting. Secondly, many drug reactions are not true allergies, representing only an increased sensitivity to common side-effects of the medication.

Research project: Evolution of technology and tool use in 10,000 years of Aboriginal prehistory
- Start date:
- 2007
Backed artefacts from Mussel Shelter, NSW central coast

For many years the timing of and reasons for the introduction, proliferation and decline of backed artefacts in south-eastern Australia has been much debated. Recent research indicates they were made at least 8500 years ago in south-eastern Australia, that they gradually increased in number, and that around 3500-3000 years ago proliferated to the extent that they are found in numerous sites and recorded in large numbers in individual sites. After around 1600 years ago, backed artefact numbers decreased markedly, and by the time of British colonisation were either not used or used to such a limited extent they were never seen or described by the first colonists.
Two models used to explain their proliferation after 3500 years ago are that (a) they alleviated greater subsistence risk brought about by ENSO-intensified climatic pattern, and (b) their increased production reflected their symbolic value at a time of social re-organisation within Aboriginal societies, in which climatic change may be implicated in the construction of economic and social risk. Two prominent explanations of their use are as barbs or tips in spears and to cut human flesh in rituals.
Our study is testing such assumptions by systematically examining assemblages of backed artefacts from selected Sydney Basin sites to ascertain their function through integrated use-wear and residue analyses. Our work to date indicates that backed artefacts were used in numerous ways, including activities in which objects of wood, non-woody plants, bone, hide and feathers were made and maintained, as well as subsistence activities in which animal and plant materials were prepared, being used variously for scraping, cutting, incising, and perhaps occasionally, on throwing or thrusting spears. Furthermore, backed artefacts were typically elements in composite tools which were often multi-purpose and multi-functional, perhaps used and/or recycled on several occasions.

Times have been revealed for road closures when the Tour de France comes through Keighley, Silsden and the Worth Valley.
Roads on the route of the Grand Depart race will close from 6.30am on July 6.
Junctions with side roads on to the route will also have to be closed at the same time.
Roads are expected to reopen during late afternoon, but exact times are subject to public safety and the management of traffic flow.
The news, released by Bradford Council on Tuesday, was accompanied by a warning that vehicle access to, and within, parts of the district will be significantly restricted.
A spokesman said: "Movement of traffic through Keighley, Silsden, Cross Roads, Haw-orth and Oxenhope will not be permitted."
Steve Seymour, chairman of Keighley Town Centre Association, said information such as this was now being released on a regular basis.
He is expecting to find out specific details of how the closures will affect central Keighley during a meeting with Bradford Council officers on May 9.
He added: "I'm hoping after the meeting, there will be a more detailed map available to businesses and customers about how they can access Keighley during the day of the race."
Closure times were revealed after discussions with race organisers TdFHUB2014 Ltd and ASO.
The council said the early closure is needed to ensure riders could get through the district.
A spokesman added: "The closure times are necessary to allow for the route to be prepared and infrastructure to be put in place before spectators arrive.
"The Tour's publicity 'caravan' of about 180 vehicles, followed by about 200 riders and their support teams, have to pass through.
"The infrastructure then has to be removed and spectators allowed to disperse safely."
Pedestrians and cyclists will be able to use and cross the route prior to the main caravan arriving. Revised bus and train timetables will also be in operation. The council will write to residents and businesses along the route to let them know how the road closures will affect them.

Executive function is like the CEO of the brain. It's in charge of making sure things get done from the planning stages of the job to the final deadline. When kids have issues with executive functioning, any task that requires planning, organization, memory, time management and flexible thinking becomes a challenge. The more you know about the challenges, the better you'll be able to help your child build her executive skills and manage the difficulties.
Executive functioning issues aren't considered a disability on their own. They're weaknesses in a key set of mental skills. And they often appear in kids with learning and attention issues. What are executive functions? How do they impact learning and everyday living?
Executive functions consist of several mental skills that help the brain organize and act on information. These skills enable people to plan, organize, remember things, prioritize, pay attention and get started on tasks. They also help people use information and experiences from the past to solve current problems.
If your child has executive functioning issues, any task requiring these skills could be a challenge. That could include doing a load of laundry or completing a school project. Having issues with executive functioning makes it difficult to:
How Executive Functioning Works
Another way to understand your child's difficulties is to see how the process of executive functioning works. Here is an example of how the process works, broken down into six steps:
If executive functioning is working well and the task is fairly simple, the brain may go through these steps in a matter of seconds. If your child has weak executive skills, though, performing even a simple task can be challenging. Remembering a specific word may be as big a struggle as planning tomorrow's schedule.
It's not clear how many kids struggle with executive functioning issues. The issues aren't uncommon, though. They often appear in kids with ADHD and dyslexia, as well as other conditions. In fact, some experts believe nearly all kids with ADHD have symptoms of executive functioning issues.
Scientists still aren't sure why some children have executive functioning difficulties. Research has identified some possible links:
Executive functioning issues can produce a wide range of symptoms. Depending on which skills your child struggles with the most, and the particular task she's doing, you might see the following signs:
As your child's brain continues to develop, the symptoms of executive functioning issues may change. Early intervention can help you find ways to use your child's strengths to support weaknesses starting when she's young. But since the brain continues to develop into young adulthood, intervention can be helpful at any age.
There are several key skills involved in executive function. But your child may not struggle with all of them to the same degree. Executive skills include:
If your child has any or all of these issues, it may feel upsetting to both you and her. But there are strategies you can try at home to help your child learn to work around these weaknesses. Kids with mild to moderate weaknesses are able to compensate for them well enough to learn and complete everyday tasks.
Executive planning is often one of the criteria for disorders like ADHD and autism. But experts haven't decided how executive dysfunction should be defined on its own. It's not a recognized category in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (DSM). This manual outlines the criteria and symptoms that psychologists and other professionals use to make a formal diagnosis.[3]
That doesn't mean there isn't a way to identify your child's executive functioning issues. Psychologists can administer tests for executive functioning. They can give specific recommendations on how to help your child if the tests reveal an area of weakness. Understanding your child's difficulties is a group effort. It begins with you keeping track of your child's symptoms and behavior. Take that information with you when you visit your child's doctor. It's your first step on the path to understanding your child's issues.
The doctor will probably want to know how long you've noticed the difficulties. Typically, children must have symptoms for at least six months before a health-care professional will recommend further steps. The process could look something like this:
Step 1: Get a medical exam. You and your child's doctor will talk about what you're seeing. The doctor typically would want to rule out medical causes. These could include seizure disorders, hearing impairments and ADHD. Some of this can be done in the office. But the doctor may send you to a specialist such as an audiologist or neurologist for more testing.
Step 2: See a specialist. Once your child's doctor has ruled out medical causes, you'll likely be referred to a licensed clinical social worker or child psychologist. This person will gather information from your child's medical and school records. She'll talk to you and other people who know your child well. You'll likely discuss having your child evaluated further. The evaluation process may include:
Step 3: Put it all together. After collecting all the information, the professionals will look at all the results and go over them with you. They may not be able to give your child a formal diagnosis. But they can provide more information about the specific areas in which your child is struggling. They can suggest strategies to try at home and ways your child's school can help.
It's unusual for a child to have difficulty with executive functioning but no other health issue. It's far more common for a child to have executive functioning issues in addition to something else. This is what doctors refer to as comorbidity. Here are some conditions that are marked by—or sometimes misdiagnosed as—executive functioning issues:
Children with executive functioning issues can be taught to overcome or work around their weaknesses. Here are some educational strategies and behavioral approaches that professionals may use to help your child:
Therapists and Other Specialists
Several kinds of professionals can offer strategies and support to both you and your child. Speech therapists, occupational therapists, psychologists and reading specialists can all help with executive functioning issues. For example, cognitive behavioral therapy can provide your child with mental tools to start self-monitoring thoughts and behavior. Therapists can also provide skills training to help your child learn appropriate ways to respond in social situations. Any of this may be done privately, or as part of a school program.
Your Child's School
If your child is eligible for special services, you and the school can work together to create a plan of supports and accommodations. That may include visual aids, checklists and assistance during tests. Even without a diagnosed condition, your child's school can provide academic supports. These may include:
If accommodations are being made, the school may recommend a 504 plan for your child. This is a detailed, written plan explaining what the school will do to meet your child's needs. That might include extended time on assignments, less homework or other accommodations. If those steps don't seem to be helping, either you or the school may request an evaluation for special education services. That evaluation will look more carefully at how your child learns. The information it provides will help determine whether she qualifies for an Individualized Education Program (IEP). An IEP can provide access to more resources, including specialized teaching and assistive technology.
Parent Advocates and Support Groups
The school and your child's health-care providers aren't the only resources for support. Online parent communities like ours can help you connect with other parents whose kids have similar issues. Additionally, every state has a Parent Training and Information (PTI) and/or Community Parent Resource Centers (CPRC) sponsored by the U.S. Department of Education's Office of Special Education Programs. Find one in your area through the Parent Technical Assistance Network's website.[10]
It may not be easy to sort out whether your child's difficulties with executive functioning skills are related to another condition. You may be able to help your child even without her being diagnosed with a disorder. The goal is to identify your child's specific areas of difficulty and find strategies that help. Here are some things you may want to consider trying at home. Try introducing them one at a time so you can see whether it has a positive effect.
Whether you're just starting to learn about your child's executive functioning issues or you're far along in the journey, this site can help.
Know your child's issues. It's important for getting effective help. If you're looking for ways to help your child academically, you can research accommodations and assistive technologies.
Get behavior advice. Explore Parenting Coach for strategies that may help with everything from organization and time management to making friends and fitting in.
Connect with other parents. You also may find it useful to share ideas with other parents of children with executive functioning issues. Connecting with parents—and hearing about their successes—may give you the boost you need to keep pushing ahead and supporting your child.
Build a support plan. Use this site to help you come up with a game plan and anticipate what lies ahead.
Stay positive. Executive functioning skills continue to develop through the teen years until about the age of 25. What's difficult for your child now may not be as troublesome when she's an adult. By taking steps to tackle her executive functioning issues while she's still young, you can watch her blossom and learn how to reach her full potential.

Gay marriage is a hotly debated issue and arguments on it will be heard at the Supreme Court next week.
But while that's going on, one Arizona city is pushing for marriage equality by approving of civil unions.
If the Bisbee City Council gets its way, gay couples could go to the city clerk and buy a civil union certificate for $25 by May. It would give them some of the rights as straight couples, but some people aren't happy about it.
Some states already allow gay marriage and same-sex civil unions. Bisbee Mayor Adriana Badal said it's time to make it legal here.
"More than anything, it's a statement," she told CBS 5 News.
The City Council unanimously endorsed a measure on Tuesday to allow same-sex couples to enter a civil union. An official council vote will be April 2.
"Equal treatment, if you will. Same-sex partners would receive a civil union certificate in Bisbee," Badal said.
The union would give gay couples some rights that married couples have, such as the decision to bury their partners in the city cemetery, extend family land rights to partners and give family discounts to city services like the public pool.
"This isn't about equal rights. This is about marriage being the foundation of our society, about being between a man and a woman," said Center for Arizona Policy President Cathi Herrod.
The state constitution does define marriage between a man and a woman, but Badal said it doesn't say anything about civil unions.
"The intent of civil unions is to give every right that a married couple has, just not the name of marriage. We characterize civil union as being a marriage counterfeit and being against our state public policy," Herrod said.
The City Council vote April 2 will allow public input. Badal said she believes it will pass.

PEUGEOT'S 3008 has stolen a march on the competition by being fitted with the first diesel-electric hybrid powertrain to hit showrooms in Europe, marrying the twin benefits of short-term electric-only power with diesel torque and efficiency.
The system works in roughly the same way as the long-established Toyota version seen in several of its models like the Lexus RX450h and Toyota Prius. The 3008 Hybrid4, or HY4 for short, has a complete and fully-integrated hybrid system that never needs plugging in, and has no issues with potential range.
Where this system differs from the existing 'full hybrid' systems is that the electric motor is much smaller it puts out just 27 kilowatts compared to the Prius' 60-kilowatt system, and the motor drives the rear wheels leaving the fronts to the engine.
Peugeot wanted to give the 3008 maximum efficiency and a smaller motor means less friction, which in turn means lower CO2 and big tax benefits across Europe. The base model puts out 99g/km of CO2, making it road tax and congestion charge exempt in Britain.
The mid-range and limited edition range-topping version both emit 104g/km, which puts them in the lowest chargeable road tax band in this country, but significantly for Peugeot that's a crucial marker for 2000 in tax benefits in its home French market. Either way, it's a remarkable figure considering the car's relative size and weight 140kg heavier than the diesel-only 3008.
Fuel economy is equally impressive. On the combined cycle the mid-range model officially returns 70.6mpg (slightly less than the base model), but it's in town where it really shines. During the launch in the northern French town of Dinard I had a chance to drive it on a low-speed urban route around short, narrow streets and it returned 71mpg in all the default driving settings. Astonishing, really.
Cars like this have been tuned to be driven a certain way. In a way the 3008 HY4 is just like the road racer Porsche 911 GT3 RS designed more or less for one thing only, but supremely good at it. The 3008 just needs constant gentle use of the controls to excel.
One of the key benefits that the HY4 system offers is the ability to choose one of four driving modes, making it more versatile than you'd expect. The ZEV Zero Emissions Vehicle mode biases the car towards using the electric motor, which is great for in-town driving but not so good for inclines. The small motor struggles to pull the car's mass uphill, but on the up-side the motors help recharge the battery on downhill stretches.
Sport mode biases the system the other way, using the diesel engine almost all the time and giving the full 200bhp, 332lb.ft thrust. In this mode the 3008 HY4 is actually pretty good to drive, and although it shows quite a lot of body roll it suits the character of the car and allows it to ride very well. It's a surprisingly comfortable car all round.
The other two modes are 4x4 and Auto. While 4x4 hardly turns the 3008 into a Land Rover Defender, it does give valuable extra traction in sticky situations, like if you need to drive the car uphill out of soft, wet sand. That exact situation was set up on the launch and the system worked, albeit less impressively than that of a 'proper' 4x4.
Auto is the default setting and it takes care of almost everything. It's a low power mode designed to give maximum fuel economy, and reflects how most people will drive. It does need a consciously light right foot to help it do its best work, but 71mpg in town or more is the kind of reward owners can expect if they tow the eco-driving line.
The only thing Auto doesn't do is switch automatically to Sport mode. Even pushing the accelerator into the carpet doesn't, which means you have to select Sport manually if you want to overtake quickly. It's a bit clumsy, but it's a relatively small area of compromise.
One question on potential buyers' lips might be whether the system is refined or not. It is, and very much so as long as you work the pedals gently. The engine and motor cut in and out with no clues whatsoever beyond the helpful active diagram on the central screen. Get more insistent with the accelerator and the system becomes a little jerkier as it does its thing.
All in all, the 3008 HY4 is an excellent car, and good value compared to its diesel-only counterparts. It offers more performance, more prestige and much better fuel economy, especially in urban environments. It's a very convincing package that deserves to do well.
Model: Peugeot 3008 Hybrid4, £26,995 on the road.
Engine: Diesel-electric hybrid; 2.0-litre 163bhp diesel engine with 37bhp electric motor, creating a total of 200bhp and 332lb.ft of torque.
Transmission: Electronically-operated manual gearbox attached to the engine and driving front wheels; electric motor driving rear wheels.
Performance: Top speed 118mph (limited), 0-62mph in 8.5 seconds.
Fuel economy: 74.4mpg.
CO2 rating: 99g/km.

|Official Title:
|Exome Sequencing of Fanconi Anemia Children and the Their Parents
Genetic: human whole exome
Heterogeneity of FA. In the research of animal model, the phenotypes of FANCA, FANCC and FANCG knockout mice are similar. They grow up and develop normally, without any severe blood disease or tumor. However, they show chromosome instablity and highly sensitivity to MMC. And they have gonadal dysfunction and fertility defects. From this we conclude that the severe physical deformity of FA patients might be induced by other mutations. By comparing among the FA patients and between FA patiens and normal people, we look forward to find the mutated genes and verify their relationship with the physical deformity.
Even in 90% of FA patients the bone marrow failure will eventually occur, but the starting age ranges from 8-84. And Immuno-inhibition therapy has no effects on FA. Other DNA repair dysfunction diseases have higher rate of tumor, but not so high rate of bone marrow failure as FA does, which implies that the FA protein has the key role in hematopoietic stem cell maintainance. In FancC-/- mice, young mice is insensitive to DNA crosslinks with comet assay, but not adult mice, indicating that the accumulation of DNA damage during time leads to DNA repairment defects. by comparing the exome of FA patients and their parents, the mutations that were accumulated in FA patients could be found, and these genes might be sensitive to repairment and be important for hematopoiesis maintainance.

- to provide additional versions of a song for use as bonus tracks or for a B-side, for example, in times when a CD single might carry a total of 4 tracks
- to create a connection between a smaller artist and a more successful one, as was the case with the chart-topping remix of Brimful of Asha by Cornershop
Remixes should not be confused with edits, which usually involve shortening a final stereo master for marketing or broadcasting purposes. Another distinction should be made between a remix and a cover. A remix song recombines audio pieces from a recording to create an altered version of the song. A cover is a recording of a song that was previously recorded by someone else.
Dubstep is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South London, England. It emerged in the late 1990s as a development within a lineage of related styles such as 2-step garage, broken beat, drum and bass, jungle, dub and reggae. In the UK the origins of the genre can be traced back to the growth of the Jamaican sound system party scene in the early 1980s. The music generally features syncopated drum and percussion patterns with bass lines that contain prominent sub bass frequencies.

The earliest dubstep releases date back to 1998, and were usually featured as B-sides of 2-step garage single releases. These tracks were darker, more experimental remixes with less emphasis on vocals, and attempted to incorporate elements of breakbeat and drum and bass into 2-step. In 2001, this and other strains of dark garage music began to be showcased and promoted at London's night club Plastic People, at the "Forward" night (sometimes stylised as FWD>>), which went on to be considerably influential to the development of dubstep. The term "dubstep" in reference to a genre of music began to be used by around 2002 by labels such as Big Apple, Ammunition, and Tempa, by which time stylistic trends used in creating these remixes started to become more noticeable and distinct from 2-step and grime.
Bass music is an umbrella term that refers to various styles of music including drum and bass, bassline, dubstep and UK garage among others. The phrase began to be used in response to the blending of sounds between these genres. The key characteristic shared among these genres are an emphasis on basslines, groove and rhythm.
In the United Kingdom, bass music, or UK Bass has had major mainstream success since the late 2000s and early 2010s.
A brief list of talented producer's, artist's and DJ's that have produced Dubstep remixes :
12th Planet, 16bit, Adventure Club, Alvin Risk, Bassnectar, Benga, Borgore, Boxcutter, Breakage, Burial, Caspa, Chase & Status, Clubroot, Cyrus, Datsik, Delta Heavy, Digital Mystikz, Dillon Francis, Dirtyphonics, Distance, DJ Chef, DJ SFR, Doctor P, Dog Blood, Drop the Lime, El-B, Emalkay, Excision, Flux Pavilion, Foreign Beggars, FS, FuntCase, The Gaslamp Killer, Geiom, Gemini, Jon Gooch, Goth-Trad, Mick Harris, Ikonika, Ill-esha, Infected Mushroom, Jack Beats, Jakwob, JDevil, Joker, Joy Orbison, Juakali, Katy B, Killbot, Knife Party, Kode9, Kill the Noise, Krewella, Liquid Stranger, Lindsey Stirling, The M Machine, Magnetic Man, Kevin Martin, Martyn, Modestep, Mount Kimbie, MRK1, Mt Eden, Navene-k, Nero, Joe Nice and Noisia.
They don't want to be tagged with it and shouldn't be tagged with it – that's not what they're pushing… When I say 'UK bass', it's what everyone UK is associated with so it would be a lot easier if it was called that."
Outside of nightclubs, bass music has mainly been promoted and played on web radio stations, the most notable being Rinse.FM, Sub.FM, Rood.FM in the UK, and BassRadio.FM in the US.Dont miss out on early music releases, discounts on events, merchandise and more

A FORMER fitness instructor from Pershore has regained her figure along with her confidence after shedding three stones at a local slimming group.
Mum-of-two Beckie Jones, from Pershore, joined Slimming World in Drakes Broughton Village Hall after hearing a cruel comment from an acquaintance on a night out.
And it has proved to be such a success with Miss Jones going from 12 stone down to nine in just ten months she has begun her own group in Pershore.
She said: "I was devastated when a casual acquaintance greeted me by wobbling my post-pregnancy tummy and asking when I was going to shift it.
"That was my final straw and although I felt nervous and scared, I resolved to join my local Slimming World group straight away. A friend of mine had been telling me about how well she'd done having lost 5 stones in 9 months by eating all of her favourite foods.
"I needn't have worried though, because as soon as I walked in I was instantly put at ease and reassured by Laurie, the consultant."
Miss Jones quickly learnt how much she could eat and learnt how to cook more healthily.
"I couldn't believe how easy the Slimming World plan was, after trying and failing so many times with previous diets," added Miss Jones. "Losing three stones has given me so much more confidence and I've now been offered the opportunity to open my own Slimming World group and I can't wait to help people feel as great as I do."
Miss Jones's is at Holy Redeemer Primary School, Priest Lane, Pershore, every Monday at 7pm.

Pacers announce tomorrow's game vs the Knicks at the fieldhouse is sold out.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
unfortunately that's probably true, and just makes my blood boil thinking about it. nevermind that we have a better record and imo a better team. Oh well for those of you able to go to the game if we end up winning, any idiot wearing a knicks jersey make sure you shake their hand and thank them for coming out to support the pacers
Oh brother. Here we go.
Half empty kinda stinks, but half full of "Opponent"/"insert star player" fans is definitely worse.
Not $$$ wise.
At the start of the month we tried to get this game as part of our package, but it was already sold out then.
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
If the Knicks win tonight, tomorrow is going to be brutal.
There is a SLIGHT possibility that this is actually a game popular with PACER fans due to the rivalry.
I know, fantasy, but hey...
A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.
Or throw in a first-round pick and flip it for a max-level point guard...
I think there has been a sequence of events that could help us up our attendance. We whooped Philly on ESPN, we traded for a fairly well-known player in Barbosa, and of course we are playing against Linsanity. I hope the first two will carry over and help boost our attendance beyond just playing the Knicks....
Saturday night in March. I bet most seats were sold long anyone heard of Lin
I highly doubt that. Sure it's a Sat night in March, doesn't mean we'll sell out or come close. It's Lin/Knicks. If it were the Bucks, or Suns, or any team that isn't very good, it's not a sellout.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
The first Bobcats home game came VERY close to a sellout.
"Nobody wants to play against Tyler Hansbrough NO BODY!" ~ Frank Vogel
"And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. "
You guys would know better than I, but in the case of someone like Melo or Lebron or Kobe, is it really a case of their fans showing up. Or is it that local fans buy tickets to see those guys, but truly hope the local team wins?
However, fans of the local team actually DO pick to come to certain games because of who the opponents are, so there might be some people with that outlook.

Was already sold out in the balcony three weeks ago, when we tried to get tickets to the game.
"George's athleticism is bananas!" - Marc J. Spears
Dear God I wish I could be there. I would LOVE to get into a verbal sparring match with the NY "Fans"
Would know just how to get under their skin
Sittin on top of the world!
I'm glad it was sold out in advance, I was kind of concerned about the impact the IU-VCU game could have on the attendance....It will definitely be a big pro-Pacer crowd..of course there will be some Knicks' fans, but even when miami or the lakers come and draw a sell out, 90% of the crowd is rooting for the Pacers.. Only time that has not been the case was the playoff game last year when Bulls fans from Chicago/Northern Indiana bought tickets quicker for the weekend game than Pacer fans.. And of course years ago when BIRD (celtic) fans use to come to MSA wearing green (mainly when Pacers were bad)... that use to drive me nuts...
Well that's not quite true, unfortunately. When Miami or the Lakers come and get a sell out or close to it it's about 50/50. Actually I'm pretty sure the Miami game several weeks ago didn't quite sell out, but this Knicks game did several weeks in advance, right after Lin caught fire. It's gonna be 50/50...maybe 60/40 in their favor. The thing about it is that since it sold out so quick, the resale market has been able to jack up prices for the first time in years. There will be a fair amount of season ticket holders who will have decided to profit off that. And those people who bought their tickets right after Lin caught fire bought them to see him. It's been that way in very city they've gone to lately. It won't be pretty.
......will definitely not reflect actual attendance now, especially amongst the 40% or so of the seats sold to Pacer fans.
That is cool we sold out for tomorrow, I don't even care if there is a Knicks fanbase there that bought a good deal of tickets. They are paying good money to watch the Pacers take on their team. It could be worse. I think tomorrow will be a much better contested game.

[Page 102]
The drama group had special importance, and it was founded by the aid of the actors Adam Tomb and Sonja Altbojm. The theatrical circle performed many plays in Gombin and in the surrounding towns. A revolutionist youth run very active life, organizing strikes and demonstrations. Many of them sat in the prison of the nearby town Plock and some were sent to the "Brezer Konsentranza". 3
Gombin was commemorated in the Yiddish literature. Shalom Ash described typical characters from this shtetl in his stories and its beautiful landscape. Y.L. Peretz wrote about the "Kune" 4 near the synagogue of Gombin.
In Gombin stood one of the grandest wooden synagogues in Poland. It was erected in the 18th. Century, and was considered to be a preserved historical landmark. Many times, foreign visitors arrived from Poland and abroad to admire the special wooden relieves of its eastern wall and enjoy its external beauty.
The Hitlerians conquerors liquidated the Jewish life in Gombin. Immediately upon the Nazi occupation, all the Jews were assembled in the "New Market" square. The Nazis bit the Rabbi of the town and ordered the Jews to do "gymnastic" exercises, to run, to jump, to fall, and all sorts of strange abuses, and in the same time the fascists Vandals burnt the synagogue and the Beit Ha'Midrash. When the houses nearby caught fire also, the Hitlerians pushed the Jews into the fire, forcing them to take out with bare hands, doors, windows and other pieces of property from the burning houses. All this took place while the Nazis took photographs of the horrible scenes for their amusements.
In the beginning of the summer of 1942, about 600 Jews were sent to the Konin concentration camp. Before their departure, the commander Haag told them: "you are going to work, you have a chance to live. For the Jews who are left in Gombin the death is inevitable."
Out of these 600 Jews, only 18 survived the camps.
One day the Nazis rounded a few hundreds Jews for forced labor and ordered them to clean the Jewish cemeteries off its graves.
The Jews were ordered to remove the tombstones and they were forced to take out the corpses off the tombs, without tools, and remove the remains to the Christian nearby cemetery.
As retaliation to the killing of a German, the Nazis staged a public execution and shot dead 10 local Poles. They performed the same public execution, shooting 10 Poles also in the nearby town of Gostynin.
Few Jews escaped the massacre in Zychlin and Gostynin and came to Gombin. They informed about the cruel crimes of the Germans. They reported that near the city of Kolo, in Chelmno, Jews are gassed to death and burnt. The chief of the Judenrat was asked whether it would be better to run away to the woods and hide. He "calmed" them and said that they should only bribe the Germans more and appease them with more valuables and money.
The time of the great disaster arrived, in the summer of 1942. The Hitlerians murderers assembled all the Jews in the Fire Brigade square. The Jews were surrounded by armed FolksDeutche, fascists, Ukrainians and Lithuanians, who kept the Jews 3 days and night under the open sky, without food and some water. While the wife of Naftali Spiwak begged for some water, a FolksDeutche from Gombin, Maas, shot her on the spot (after the War he was sentenced to death by the Polish authorities ).
Only on the fourth day arrived big trucks with he Gestapo men, and by horrible and murderous blows, the doomed Jews were pushed inside and were transported to extermination in Chelmno.
In the same fashion the Jewish community of the nearby small town of Ostomin was liquidated short time afterwards.

1-2-3 - not bad at all.
Find a way to win this series and hope Cueto can be ready for the NLCS. We're good enough to win 3 out of 5 without JC.
I have been gone all day, did Leake make 25 man roster?
Over/under on how many innings sam gets- 1 2/3? 2 2/3?
When Votto was hurt the everyday players stepped up. Now Cueto is down, lets see the rest of the pitching staff try and do the same and pick Cueto up...
I love how Latos wanted to be the guy. Probably the right call not to, though. I wouldn't have been surprised if they went to Homer...
Did he injure his back?
Yeah, I didn't catch exactly what the injury was either.
And here comes the "star" strike zone. Shades of 1995 NLCS.
Rounding third and heading for home...

On Monday night, Michael Bourn will move another step closer to returning to the Indians' outfield. As a result, Ezequiel Carrera, who was claimed off waivers by the Indians on Thursday, was designated for assignment on Sunday.
That wasn't the only roster move made by the Indians, who seem to be averaging almost one move per day this season.
The Tribe on Sunday also recalled reliever Scott Barnes from Columbus, and Barnes hit the ground running, pitching two scoreless, hitless and walkless innings, striking out four of the seven batters he faced.
Bourn has been on the disabled list since April 15 with a lacerated right index finger, a wound that required five stitches. Bourn's finger is well enough now that he will begin an injury rehab assignment at Triple-A Columbus Monday night.
"He'll play three rehab games down there. Seven innings in centerfield (Monday), DH (Tuesday) and nine innings in centerfield (Wednesday)," said Manager Terry Francona.
Bourn says he's ready to go.
"I'll try to get it going and be back here Thursday or Friday," he said. "It's just a matter of getting my timing down."
In 45 at-bats over 10 games prior to his injury, Bourn hit .333 with two home runs, and one stolen base.
The Indians have managed to do a pretty good job of holding the fort while Bourn has been out. Their six-game losing streak was snapped on Sunday, but they are still 9-8 since Bourn went on the DL.
Pen pals
Barnes appeared in eight games as a reliever at Columbus and had a record of 2-0 with a 3.27 ERA. In 9 2/3 innings, he gave up eight hits, with 10 strikeouts and five walks. Opposing batters hit .250 against him, left-hander .222.
Pestano update
Reliever Vinnie Pestano, who hasn't pitched in a week because of a sore elbow, had no day-after problems from a throwing session Saturday. So any fears that he might be headed to the disabled list have for the time being been quieted.
"He's doing good. He should be available (for Monday's game)," said Francona.
This is the second time this year the Indians have designated Carrera for assignment. They did so at the end of spring training and he was claimed off waivers by the Phillies.
The Phillies designated Carrera for assignment last week and the Indians claimed him. Carrera got into Friday's game as a pinch hitter and had a sacrifice bunt. He started Saturday's game in right field and went 2-for-4. He was designated for assignment on Sunday.
Carrera will go on waivers again, and if he goes unclaimed the Indians could outright him to Columbus.
"Selfishly, I hope he clears," said Francona.
Two-strike thunder
Entering play Sunday, the Indians led the majors with a .521 slugging percentage with two outs. Indians players are in three of the top five spots in the American League for highest slugging percentage with two outs. Ryan Raburn (.870) leads the league, Carlos Santana (.700) is fourth and Mark Reynolds (.688) fifth.
The Indians last year hit two home runs in an inning nine times. They've already done it seven times this season. ... Twins first baseman Justin Morneau's RBI single in sixth inning Sunday was his 105th career RBI vs. the Indians, the third most of any active player behind Paul Konerko's 174 and Alex Rodriguez's 107. ... The Indians will conclude the homestand with a four-game series with Oakland. The pitching matchups: Monday at 7:05 p.m., Ubaldo Jimenez (1-2, 7.13) vs. Jarrod Parker (1-4, 7.36). Tuesday at 7:05 p.m., Zach McAllister (2-3, 3.30) vs. Tommy Milone (3-3, 3.69). Wednesday at 7:05 p.m., Justin Masterson (4-2, 3.64) vs. A.J. Griffin (3-2, 3.79). Thursday at 12:05 p.m., Scott Kazmir (1-1, 6.28) vs. Bartolo Colon (3-1, 3.62).

The third Sukhoi Superjet 100 landed in Italy for the first time yesterday at Turin Caselle Airport, where it continued its flight test campaign in preparation for expected year-end certification. The aircraft (prototype S/N 950004) took off from the Sukhoi Civil Aircraft's flight test center in Zhukovsky, near Moscow.
Operated by Sukhoi Civil Aircraft's test pilots Yablontsev Alexander, Korostiev Sergey, Shvetsov Oleg and Gryukanov Maksim, S/N 950004 will undergo several tests, including noise community and high intensity radiated field trials during its month-long stay in Italy.
SCAC has scheduled testing to occur in Levaldigi airport and at the Alenia Aeronautica facilities in Turin-Caselle airport.
As part of the certification campaign, engineers will subject the prototype to an evaluation of the electromagnetic compatibility requirements for civil aircraft, ensuring the aircraft's ability of operating safely in the man-made electromagnetic environment.
As of now the SSJ100 program has accumulated more than 2,010 flight hours during 814 flights, accounting for about 70 percent of its certification requirements, including what Sukhoi characterized as the most critical tests. The SSJ100 has successfully passed a series of testing in extreme weather conditions in Yakutsk and Arkhangelsk, Russia and a high elevation program in Gumri, Armenia. Those trials, according to SCAC, confirmed that the airplane needed no further changes to its basic configuration.
Of the 18 serial aircraft in various stages of production, six have reached the final assembly shop, said Sukhoi.

I need another mid-range like I need a hole in the head, but do you think there's any chance that rivet thing might give a grip/pop/spin advantage? Namely, by tucking the tip of the rip finger in behind it? I wonder. One, or two, throws would tell the story, I think.
I was thinking the same thing except the tip of the index IN the depression of the rivet.

I've been experimenting with recipes from that book after the author assured me you can make bread with all whole wheat flour. That bread post is coming soon, dedicated to Tanna, who's been so sweet about encouraging me to try yeast bread. In the meantime, it's St. Patrick's day weekend and even though I've always been a bit baking impaired, I suddenly felt like making some Irish Soda Bread.
White Whole Wheat and Oatmeal Irish Soda Bread
(Makes 2-3 servings bread, double the recipe for a standard size loaf. Recipe slightly adapted from More Bread and Cheese, Please.
Ingredients for Original version:
1 2/3 cup white whole wheat flour
3 T oatmeal (rolled oats) grind in food processor
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
3/4 cup plus 1 T buttermilk
Ingredients for Modified version:
1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour
1/2 cup oatmeal (ground)
1 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. salt
1 cup buttermilk, plus a tablespoon or more if needed to moisten all flour
Preheat oven to 425 F. Grease or spray a small baking sheet with nonstick spray or oil.
I thought this was deliciously rustic tasting, but possibly I'm not too critical since freshly baked bread is a rarity at my house! Next time I might try more oatmeal and a tiny bit more baking soda. Any other suggestions from experienced bakers will be gratefully received.

White whole wheat flour and oatmeal are both good foods for phase 2 or 3 of the South Beach Diet. Obviously butter isn't recommended due to the saturated fat, but if you're Irish, splurge a bit like I did!
