LONDON Welsh head coach Justin Burnell would welcome the chance to sign Wales and Lions prop Adam Jones.
The 100-cap Ospreys tighthead is in limbo without a club due to the dispute between the Welsh Rugby Union and their four regions.
Jones, 33, has been linked with moves to Bristol, Saracens and Sale, but Burnell is happy to add the Exiles to the prop's list of admirers.
"I would love to have Adam on board," he told WalesOnline.
"I genuinely believe he is one of the best tight heads in the world, if not the best.
"When somebody of his calibre becomes available, you have to be interested."
One player Welsh have definitely signed is 26-year-old Cardiff Blues lock James Down – whose capture was announced yesterday.
Down was was spotted by Burnell as a 16-year-old while playing for his former club Llantwit Fardre in South Wales.
And now Welsh's head coach hopes he can help Down, who was called up to the Wales squad during the 2012 autumn internationals, progress further.
"I always thought James had a huge amount of potential," said Burnell.
"Coming through the Blues system, he played alongside the likes of Bradley Davies and Lou Reed, who have both gone on to be full internationals.
"He's played a lot of rugby in different competitions with Cardiff Blues and he's another fantastic addition to our squad.
"I'm really pleased to have someone of James's calibre on board."

Barmes shines with bat in first start at second base
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Clint Barmes made the most of his first start at second base in four years ... at bat.
Barmes drilled a double with two outs in the second to drive in the first run of the Pirates' 2-2 tie in 10 innings with the Tampa Bay Rays.
Afield, a sellout crowd of 7,959 -- the third largest in McKechnie Field history -- saw Barmes have little action in his first start at the old-new position since Sept. 5, 2010. Barmes was the Rockies' regular second baseman that season, across from shortstop Troy Tulowitzki.
In his five innings, Barmes got one chance, on a third-inning grounder by Logan Forsythe.
"We said we would spin Barmes around the infield," Pirates manager Clint Hurdle said of his starting shortstop of 2012-13.
Barmes is not only up for the task, but enthusiastic about it.
"It'll be exciting to move around. Something to break up the routine," Barmes said. "Wherever they need me, even third or maybe first, I'm all for it."

Harrell looking at positives after tough outing
LAKELAND, Fla. -- Right-hander Lucas Harrell was one of the club's biggest bright spots through the first two weeks of Grapefruit League action, entering Saturday having allowed six hits and three runs in nine innings of work over three starts.
Things went a little awry for Harrell against the Tigers, who rocked him for 12 hits and 10 runs (nine earned) in just 1 2/3 innings of work in Houston's 14-3 loss. The Tigers definitely hit some balls hard -- Ian Kinsler hit the first of his two homers off Harrell -- but they also made some weak contact for hits, plus the Astros righty didn't have a few plays made behind him.
"Sometimes things go your way when you're getting ground balls, and sometimes [they don't]," said Harrell, competing for a spot in the starting rotation. "Just one of those things today, even though I was making pitches. Sometimes you have to tip your cap. They made better hits."
Eight of the first nine batters to face Harrell got on base with hits, including a two-run double by Torii Hunter and back-to-back RBI hits by Nick Castellanos and Danny Worth, whose single was deflected off the glove of third baseman Jesus Guzman. Kinsler hit a two-run homer in the second.
"I felt pretty good about the first inning," Harrell said. "I made some pretty good pitches in some counts where I needed to. Unfortunately, they didn't hit the ball to guys. In the second inning, I felt like I left some pitches up in the zone -- Kinsler, a slider that backed up -- and then felt like I made a couple of good pitches to [Miguel] Cabrera. But he's such a good hitter, he's just going to get hits.
"Overall, it didn't really go my way, but I take a lot of good things out of that first inning. I got some weak contact. Three of the hits were broken-bat hits, all on good pitches."

Q.There is a stop sign at South and Peregrine streets in Anaheim located next to South Junior High School. I understand the need for the stop sign when school is in session, but what about when it is not in session? Those of us who frequently use South Street are forced to come to a complete stop every time. I have asked the city's Traffic Department about installing a pedestrian-controlled signal at this location since 1999. They claim that there isn't any funding, but it seems like they're spending money on other traffic light projects. What can be done here?
– Rudolph Morgenfruh, Anaheim
A.Unfortunately, Rudolph, the Anaheim's traffic engineers still don't have any plans to install a pedestrian-controlled signal here. The stop signs are still considered to be safer for pedestrians while allowing the city to address other traffic concerns, said Anaheim city spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz.
"Safety is a top value in establishing traffic flow, and sometimes that can mean a delay for commuters," Ruiz said. "At school locations, hundreds of vehicles arrive and leave in a very short amount of time as children are dropped off in the mornings and picked up in the afternoons."
Q.When traveling east or west on the 91 freeway, there are several large signs that say "Imperial Highway 90 Exit Only." However, from that point on there are no signs indicating which way to turn for Imperial Highway. At this point, the westbound 90 runs north from the freeway. The first route marker you see is at Kellogg Drive in Anaheim. Perhaps Caltrans could add some signs at the off ramps to help people unfamiliar with this busy area.
– Ray Bidwell, Anaheim Hills
A.Caltrans investigated this interchange, Ray, and found that the 91 freeway has the appropriate number of signs to successfully guide motorists to Imperial Highway, said Caltrans spokeswoman Yvonne Washington. That's because the freeway offramps connect directly to Imperial Highway.
"No additional signs are needed," Washington said.
For more information on how these rules are determined, take a look at the California Manual of Uniform Traffic Control Devices at dot.ca.gov. You can use the search field to find the manual.

No better man to succeed Selig than Manfred
BALTIMORE -- The right answer can also be the easiest one.
That was the case with Major League Baseball's task of replacing Bud Selig as Commissioner. A search committee was named in May and spent three months poring over dozens of potential candidates, but the best option was Rob Manfred, a man who sometimes feels he has spent 25 years on the telephone with Selig.
Manfred's selection as baseball's 10th Commissioner was a great day. It gives the sport its best chance to continue building on the success it has experienced under Selig, who became interim Commissioner in September 1992.
List of Commissioners
|Years in office
|Judge Kenesaw Mountain Landis
|Albert Benjamin "Happy" Chandler
|Ford Christopher Frick
|General William D. Eckert
|Bowie Kent Kuhn
|Peter Victor Ueberroth
|A. Bartlett Giamatti
|Francis T. Vincent Jr.
|Allan H. "Bud" Selig
|Robert D. Manfred Jr.
|Beginning 2015
"Probably the single biggest challenge is filling the shoes of the gentleman who stands to my right," Manfred said early Thursday evening. "He'e established a great tradition of unity among the 30 clubs. I'm going to work very hard to try to maintain that tradition of unity as we move the game forward."
Selig, 80, is stepping down as the greatest of Major League Baseball's Commissioners. He got to know Manfred during labor negotiations, when his duties with the Washington firm of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius included work as outside counsel for MLB. Manfred was named as executive vice president of labor relations in 1998, and working alongside Selig, he helped end baseball's history of recurring work stoppages.
With ownership's ranks more unified than in previous negotiations, MLB reached labor agreements with the MLB Players Association in 2002, '06 and '11 -- a run of labor peace that was almost unthinkable back in the 1980s and '90s. Manfred was named COO last September, seemingly signaling his selection as Selig's heir apparent.
"He's smart," Phillies chairman Bill Giles said Thursday. "He's got great integrity. He has a great passion for the game of baseball. … Bud and Rob have been a big team for baseball."
Manfred calls Selig "a friend and a mentor." Selig sees a leader who can be tough when needed -- Manfred was in charge of the 2013 Biogenesis investigation that led to the suspension of Alex Rodriguez and others -- but he will never put himself in front of his sport.
Selig praises Manfred's experience, which he said has been tested in every area.
"There's no doubt in my mind he has the training, the temperament, the experience to be a very, very successful Commissioner," Selig said. "I have justifiably very high expectations."
Manfred will be his own man in office, for sure, but may find it impossible to escape the internal wiring implanted within him by daily conversations with Selig. One of the lessons Manfred has learned is the value of building agreement before taking a course of action.
"You have to have broad-based support," said Cardinals chairman and CEO Bill DeWitt Jr., who headed the selection committee. "So many people in all aspects of the industry -- large, middle and small markets -- talked about how he was sensitive to each of their needs. I think that's a tremendous aspect for a Commissioner -- to treat everyone equally. It's about 30 clubs. It's not about one club or one group of clubs. It's about all 30 clubs, and I think that's how Rob sees it."
When Selig's fellow owners put him in charge of the game, it was his ability to build consensus, to keep them informed, that they talked about. Manfred has maintained strong relationships with a variety of union leaders (Donald Fehr, the late Michael Weiner and Tony Clark) during his tenure.
"I think the most important part of good labor relations is ongoing communications between the bargaining parties," Manfred said. "I think it's very difficult to deal with labor in a distinct six-month or one-year period. You have to work at it day in and day out. … It's not about making friends. It's about making sure that the other side understands where you're coming from. I think the entire labor-relations department in New York has done a great job of that over a long period of time."
For Selig and Manfred, their finest hour came in 2002, when they got a deal that led to testing for performance-enhancing drugs.
There was a very real chance of a strike that year, but negotiators worked around the clock to reach a deal. They succeeded in the wee hours in Manhattan, on the day of the deadline, with Manfred running on fumes. He had gone at least two days without sleep, and probably more. Manfred was so tired taking the train to his home after a morning news conference that he couldn't remember where he left his car.
Manfred must have felt just as delirious, if not quite as punchy, Thursday.
While Manfred was known to have Selig's support, he had to have some nervous moments when multiple ballots were required for him to get the necessary 23 votes for approval. Red Sox chairman Tom Werner appeared to have the support of a faction of owners, but, as usual, Selig got his wish.
Throughout the Selig era, as baseball has grown its revenue to $9 billion, that has proven to be a very good thing. Now it's up to Manfred to keep the streak going.
Manfred's first act after his election speaks well about his chance to do that.
"What I said to the owners when I went into the room [after the vote] was I didn't even want to think who was on what side of the issue at any point in the process," Manfred said. "My commitment to the owners was that I would work extremely hard day in and day out to convince all 30 of them that they made a great decision today."
If the owners had their first wish, they would have found a way for Selig to remain Commissioner forever. Replacing him with Manfred was the best alternative.
Let history show this decision typical of others in the Selig era. Score it a choice in the best interests of Major League Baseball.

As a public service, we offer the follow rather startling information:
Thanksgiving is two weeks from today.
How did that happen?
Actually, it's the earliest that Thanksgiving comes. It's always on the fourth Thursday of November, and since this month started on a Thursday, it moves the holiday up as early in the month as possible.
The calendar finally caught my attention on Tuesday.
I screamed.
"Augh! Thanksgiving is two weeks and two days away!"
Rachel and Lisa looked concerned. I never did figure out if they too were caught unaware–or, perhaps more likely, if they were wondering how in the world it took me this long to notice the gigantic wall calendar located mere inches from my desk.
I quickly called my husband so that he could invite his older sister and her husband to our house for the annual feast.
Gary reported back that Sharon said she'd let us know, that there was plenty of time for making plans.
"…and then I told her, Thanksgiving is in two weeks…
…and then she screamed."
I'll be sure to set two extra places at the table.
James already brought home a Thanksgiving theme paper this week. Bless him, he filled a page with his gratefulness.
In particular, he's thankful for the sense of smell, "…so I can smell cow manure and wet dogs."
He's an eight-year-old boy.
Thankfully, girls still smell like cooties to him.
It will be shortly after Thanksgiving when we finally fill in the rest of the blanks here at the park. As you surely remember, Kima Bay may be at the top of the list, but it's just the beginning of our plans for 2008.
Now, excuse me … I've got a menu to plan.

Pain Management
Morphine does not work
I have a broken back with a number of other problems with my back. I am with a new Doctor for pain management. I take 4 Oxycodone HCL 30 mg a day. This is a fast acting medication. It works but does not get me to a leave take I feel like moving around do to pain. We tried out Morphine Sulfate CR 15 mg 2 a day. I tried this medication out for two months and found it did nothing to help with pain no side effects nothing. I took moriphine while in the hospital in a shot form, it worked. I am 5`-5" 180 lbs. I do take Zanaflex 4 mg 3 times a day, Ibuprofen 800 mg 2 times a day, Seroquel 25 mg once a day. I do not have a history of drug use nor acholol. What is a slow release pain medication that may work?

'"It really is the toughest question to answer because you'd love to see him in preseason games," Ruff said Wednesday. "You'd love to see him against somebody else's competition. It's a great way to see where a guy's at. Then along the way there's the physical part of it, the mental, the grind of the schedule — there's everything inside of that. But when you're evaluating those young players against an opposition that's coming after you, you get to see a guy under the gun. We don't have that luxury so we're trying to do it in these inter-squad games."'

I think that one thing that could really help clear this kind of situation up would be a definition of the term "at rest" in the definition section. The phrase is used a lot in the rules, but is left up to the players to figure out what it means. Sure it seems pretty obvious on the surface. But there are at least two examples in the rules that are counter-intuitive to me (the water thing and the 2 meter thing.)

Natalie Portman and Benjamin Millepied took their 8-month-old son Aleph to a synagogue in Venice, Calif. on Saturday (March 3). Both parents were dressed casually. The 30-year-old actress wore a polka-dot shirt, navy pants and sneakers while carrying the baby in a sling. Benjamin chose jeans and an open plaid shirt.
At the Oscars the pair were spotted wearing wedding bands on their ring fingers sparking rumors that they had secretly married.
Benjamin's friend Jamie Wolf – a jeweller – has admitted to creating the custom made rings.
For Portman – she created two diamond rings made to fit on either side of her engagement ring and a platinum band for Millepied.View Slideshow »»

From wearing bling on the beach to stilettos in the snow, Mariah Carey never gives up her glam. For a recent appearance on TRL, Mimi dressed down in Miss Sixty skinny jeans, a Galliano graphic red tank and patent puffer coat–but in classic diva style she added sexy, strappy red wedge heels by Azzedine Alaia. Her past shoe choices have convinced us that Mariah is an expert in walking in towering heels, but these wedges seem especially treacherous. Flat boots or even just a lower wedge would have been our choice. But we want to know what do you think. Tell us: On a scale of one to ten, how would you rate Mariah's TRL look?

Aids in vitamin C absorption
Posted by philosophicalcat on Aug 05, 2010 | Verified Purchase
I take this in addition to vitamin C tablets (1000 mg each time). Before I started doing that, high doses of Vitamin C over time (even containing the relevent flavonoids to aid absorption) resulted in bleeding gums and bruising, which are signs of lack of vitamin C! That condition cleared up when I added bioflavonoids to my daily regimen.
Combine with vitamin C
Posted by iHerb Customer on Oct 17, 2012 | Verified Purchase
I take this in conjunction with vitamin C crystals. Citrus bioflavonoids really helps in the vitamin C absorption. Great for skin and overall well-being! If this review was helpful to you please click "YES" below. See more reviews on my profile!

My husband has taken bioflavonoids for years to keep macular degeneration at bay - it was on recommendation from an old homeopath - so far, so good - and it has been 25 years at least. Twinlab is a really good value
Glad to have found just bioflavonoids without any other stuf
Posted by iHerb Customer on Apr 04, 2008 | Verified Purchase
These are great, the only thing I wish as it was in a powder so you could just mix it with the Sodium Ascorbate and control the amount better. However, this is one of the only brands I could find that was merely bioflavonoids without already having vitamin C with it.
Great Iherb service and products

BOTH Trowbridge Town Reserves and opponents Westbury Town brought the curtain down on their Division Two league campaigns when they met at The Beeches, Shaw.
As expected, it was Trowbridge who took the spoils thanks to a 6-1 victory.
However, Dave Jenkins side who are currently in second place face an anxious wait to see if they will finish as runners up to Lacock as Westwood News are six points behind the Bees and have two matches still to play.
Westbury, who suffered a 19-0 defeat last weekend, gave a good account of themselves over the 90 minutes but were unable to upset the odds as goals from Zach Manna and Barry Holloway put Trowbridge 2-0 up before Jordan Cain replied for Westbury with a 30-yard effort.
The second period saw Westbury run out of steam and although Mark Gee rattled the crossbar from a well-struck free kick that was the closest they came to adding a second as goals from Dan Barnett who bagged himself a double.
Sean Meer and a second from Holloway made up the Bees' half dozen.

I just thought of this, but if Ron had his head screwed on straight and management was confident that his troubles were behind him, we could have picked Gerald Green.
Gerald Green
GULF SHORES ACADEMY (Texas) | H.S. | SHOOTING GUARD
HEIGHT: 6-7 | WEIGHT: 192 | AGE: 19 This is a dream scenario for the Raptors. Green could go as high as No. 3 and he'll get long looks from both the Hornets and Bobcats. If he falls here, the Raptors would get a potential star to pair with Chris Bosh. He reminds many scouts of Tracy McGrady and for good reason. He's a few years away from being that player, but the potential is well worth it. If he's gone, Raymond Felton, Fran Vazquez, Frye and Granger would all get serious consideration.

LONG BEACH – Fountain Valley greatly enhanced its chances of going to the CIF-SS playoffs Thursday with a 10-7 victory over Los Alamitos at Veterans Stadium.
It was the final regular-season game for both teams. They finished with 3-2 records in the Sunset League.
The Sunset League standings, going into today's other final league games: Edison and Newport Harbor are tied for first, at 3-1 in league; Fountain Valley and Los Alamitos are next at 3-2; Huntington Beach is at 1-3 and Marina is 0-4.
Edison plays Marina today, and Newport Harbor plays Huntington Beach. The outcomes of those games will decide the league's order of representation in the CIF-Southern Section Southwest Division playoffs. The top three finishers receive automatic playoff berths.
The league's No. 4 team has a strong chance of getting an at-large berth.
Fountain Valley (7-3 overall) had a 10-0 lead going into the fourth quarter.
Los Alamitos (8-2) got its touchdown with 10:26 to go on a 1-yard run by Michael Hayden.
Fountain Valley's ensuing drive ended on an interception by Los Alamitos' Jerry Raye at the Griffins' 5 with 3:50 remaining.
The Griffins' first play from there was a 4-yard loss, backing them up to their 1. From their, quarterback Nick Wendell completed seven of 10 passes, six of them to Dashawn Gordon to move Los Alamitos to its 41-yard line. On a fourth-and-12 there with less than a minute to go, Wendell heaved the ball deep downfield to Gordon, who got behind the Fountain Valley secondary, but he could not gather in the ball.
Isaiah Davis was in the defensive backfield for the Barons. What was he thinking when he saw the ball headed toward Gordon?
"Please don't catch it," Davis said.
The Barons had to recuperate from a 24-0 loss last week to chief rival Edison.
Fountain Valley took a 7-0 lead on its opening possession. The Barons drove 67 yards on nine plays with Davis, rotating at quarterback with Scott Scultz on Thursday, scoring on a 1-yard run through the left side of the line.
There were 10 punts in the first half.
Davis rushed for 115 yards on 21 carries. Gordon finished with nine receptions for 66 yards.

Scorecard | Gallery | Results so far
The two Umars in the Pakistani side were at both ends, for the final six balls of the first 2012 World T20 semi-final. One of them removed their helmets to play Nuwan Kulasekara. A move both brave and pointless, for he missed. When he put it back on, Umar Akmal needed to get 21 runs off the last two. He managed four, and there ended his tournament. But he wasn't the only one to blame, for the Men-in-Green losing their third consecutive World Cup semi-final across two coloured formats.
When the chase began, Malinga and Kulasekara were bowling slower deliveries, and this managed to keep Mohammad Hafeez and Imran Nazir quiet for a while. It was clear that the demons inside the batsmen were bigger than the demons on the pitch, and when Imran Nazir played onto his stumps, his nerves were to blame, more than the bounce that Ajantha Mendis manage to extract from the track. Nasir Jamshed however was unlucky.
The left-handed Virat Kohli, if we are allowed to use the blasphemous comparison, failed to make contact with the ball, which pitched outside the leg-stump before hitting the pads. Umpire Rod Tucker considered only the second. Pakistan 55/2, and that blow cracked the dam open. First Kamran Akmal with a hideous shot, and then Shoaib Malik with a shoddy forward defense. Their only consolation was Mohammed Hafeez's presence at the crease, but he too was living on borrowed time, after Lasith Malinga butter- fingered a simple chance at long on.
But the Professor failed to learn his lesson, by getting himself stumped off Rangana Herath, thanks to a wild swing, away from the ball. Then Shahid Afridi came and left in the time, that a human being takes to breathe. Six wickets is one foot in the grave, and however hard Umar Akmal tried to delay proceedings, he was only delaying the inevitable. The target was growing on them, and the Sri Lankans were making sure that the Pakistanis tied themselves in knots, by hitting within the ropes. It worked.
At the toss, the coin told Mahela Jayawardene that his luck was on the money, and he in turn told the mike that he would bat. Pakistan entrusted the opening responsibilities to two left armers, at opposite ends of the same trade- pacer Sohail Tanvir and spinner Raza Hasan. Bowling off the wrong foot, the former got an edge from Dilshan, but Kamran Akmal's one-handed dive wasn't good enough. Openers Jayawardene and Dilshan understood that there was turn and bounce in the pitch, and in an effort to improvise, the Lankan skipper manage to pick up some bounty from the boundary, by utilising his weaker hand to play the pull and sweep in reverse.
But when he tried the shot that his batting partner is well known for, Jayawardene only managed to scoop the ball to Raza Hasan at short fine leg. Shahid Afridi celebrated like an umpire signalling a six, minus the stiffness and with a lot more emotion. Replacement Kumar Sangakkara oozed oodles of style in the three fours that he struck, before he got his timing wrong at about ten minutes to eight, with the ball in Shoaib Malik's palms at long on. Sri Lanka's skippers in the 2012 World T20, back in the dressing room, backs taking the shape of a chair.
Triple figures came up with a single off the last ball of the fifteenth over. Enter Umar Gul, bowling for the first time in the match to Jeevan Mendis. Every time the bat touched the ball, there were two runs, and this happened thrice. The pitch was making sure, that this contest would be a fair battle between bat and ball. Gul was doing better without the new ball in his right hand, but robbed himself of a wicket, after over-stepping, before trapping Mendis leg-before-wicket. He made amends by using the yorker against Dilshan, with umpire Taufel satisfied with both the lbw appeal and the delivery stride. That Dilshan was having an off-day at office, was for all to see.
Mendis took his own batting life at the crease, by coming down the track, to give Akmal and Ajmal their one and only dismissal of the match. Thisara Perera was keen to get a move on, using his 'left foot out of the way' stance to add two boundaries to the one that Angelo Mathews had procured with an edge. Important. For the last over was Sri Lanka's best, 16 runs coming off it, the difference between the two teams in this game.
The 'twitter' target of 140 would be enough to take them to their second World T20 final, at the expense of a side that gave them agony in the last match of the 2009 edition.

What's next for a restaurateur who, having already opened a successful sushi joint, wants to introduce something new? Something that capitalizes on the popularity of izakaya, but takes it in a more all-ages direction?
If you are Kousuke Muranaka, the man behind Oakland's Geta Japanese Restaurant, the answer is clear: the 1960s shokudo.
Shokudo means "diner" in Japanese, and a 1960s version refers to a place that serves a variety of wholesome and authentic foods in a traditional but casual atmosphere. B-Dama, which means "marbles" in Japanese, is also a nostalgic nod to the popular children's game of the '60s.
Based on the menu, B-Dama could very easily be taken for an izakaya, with its familiar categories of skewers, grilled items, pickles, fried foods and "finishers" — starchy items such as grilled rice balls to fill out the meal. (This being the U.S., B-Dama also has sushi and sashimi to placate expectations.) In fact, the restaurant goes to some effort to embrace its izakaya side.
The kitchen turns out kushiyaki — skewers — at lightning-fast speed, which is optimal for izakaya dining, in which diners imbibe and nosh in rounds. If anything, the grillmaster may be too fast; our first item, a stick of three perfectly cooked scallops ($3.50), arrived less than two minutes after we handed our server our kushiyaki order sheet. The sweet, smoke-scented scallops were not unwelcome, but it would have been nice had our beverages arrived first.
Other kushiyaki choices ($2.50-$3.50) included tender beef tongue and rare-grilled duck, the deep gaminess of which was heightened with a squeeze of lemon. The short rib and quail egg skewer delivered on the short rib portion, which had the taste and texture of a good bulgogi; however, we were a little disappointed to find that the egg had been simply boiled, depriving it of any smokiness the robata grill could have imparted.
There are also a wide selection of yakitori (chicken skewers, $2.50-$3.25), including meatballs and chicken skin. The narrow ribbons of skin, which were scrunched onto the skewer, were predictably rich but could have been crisper. One standout was the satisfyingly crunchy chicken cartilage, which had a surprisingly robust chicken flavor, even though it was finished with just a sprinkle of salt.
In the traditional manner, the kushiyaki dishes at B-Dama are very simply seasoned with salt or tare, a soy-based sauce. Too often, restaurant food — particularly Japanese fare — is overly salty, and the restaurant's restraint in this regard showed some finesse.
Other graze-able items included Japanese peppers, which were flame-blistered and topped with a fine flurry of bonito and grated ginger; and light, greaseless tempura ($6-$7.50) featuring interesting vegetables, such as bitter melon strips and corn on the cob, quartered lengthwise. A wakamesu salad ($5) was bathed in a delicate dashi and accompanied by an accordion-style cucumber chiffonade that was positively gauzy, a display of deft knifework.
The menu included a few "gotta have" items, including buta kakuni ($9), a simmered dish of pork belly with soft boiled egg, and hard-to-find Inaniwa udon ($9). This type of thin, glossy udon is prized for its sublimely silky texture, and is best enjoyed cold and dipped in nothing more than a little broth. Though B-Dama doesn't serve the area's top rendition of this item — a bit more body and springiness would have made it perfect — it's hard to pass up nonetheless.
We also could not resist ordering a few of the local sushi offerings: sea urchin caught off the Mendocino coast, and clean, mild-tasting California mackerel. These items (two pieces per order, $4.50-$7) were fine, with generous portions of fish, but the rice was on the gummy side; for our money, we would stick with the cooked stuff.
If the menu's composition and the kitchen's quick pacing mark B-Dama as an izakaya, a couple of aspects hit on the shokudo concept. First, although B-Dama has a passable selection of adult beverages (a few Asian lagers, nine kinds of sochu and 18 sakes, including a sake flight, three for $11), it is definitely not as alcohol-centric as an izakaya. This means that the feel of the place — lively and warm, with caramel-colored walls, touches of wood and natural Japanese textiles — is less bar scene and more family-friendly, especially early in the evening. We saw kids happily slurping bowls of udon and gnawing on chicken skewers.
That won't prevent you from settling in for a few rounds, though. On the night we went, a few diners were definitely doing it up izakaya-style at the six-seat sushi bar, laughing and drinking with the itamae-san. And it seemed that the chef was sharing the love; he sent a nice gift to our table: two pieces of white tuna sashimi rolled in shiso and a strip of sweet daikon. It was a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.
The main floor tightly packs eight tables (along with a couple of others squeezed in along a side wall), and the tiny space is saved from claustrophobia by large banks of windows, an open kitchen and nimble servers who helpfully identify dishes as they deliver them to you in a steady stream.
All in all, the close quarters, the convivial atmosphere and the eminently graze-able menu make B-Dama the kind of place you would love to have in your neighborhood. Like with most small-plates formats, it's not the least expensive way to dine, but it is certainly one of the most fun.

New Yorker's John Lahr to End Run as Critic; Begin Profiles
The New Yorker has just announced that after twenty years as the publication's chief theatre critic, John Lahr will give up regular reviewing to focus on the profiles he also contributes to the magazine, as well as book projects.
In the long line of distinguished theatre critics at The New Yorker, Lahr's twenty-year tenure is the second longest in the magazine's history. (Wolcott Gibbs served twenty-five years). Lahr was hired by Tina Brown in 1992 to revive the theatre pages of the magazine. He has written hundreds of reviews, essays, and profiles and has championed writers and artists such as August Wilson, Tony Kushner, Wallace Shawn, Sarah Ruhl, Neil LaBute, Nina Arianda,George Wolfe, and the revival in the interest in the work of Tennessee Williams. His first profile in the magazine (1990) was "Playing Possum," a twenty-thousand-word profile that introduced Barry Humphries, and his comic alter-ego Dame Edna Everage, to Americans. He also broke out the late, great Bill Hicks to American audiences with his profile "The Goat Boy Rises." His expose of Tennessee Williams's literary executor, Lady Maria St. Just, was instrumental in lifting the Williams Estate's five-year embargo on the first volume of his intended two-part biography, "Tom," by Lyle Leverich. Lahr took over the project when Leverich died and it will be published by Norton as the stand-alone biography "Tennessee Williams: Mad Pilgrimage of the Flesh" in Spring, 2014.
Lahr's work for the magazine has been extensively honored: he has twice won the George Jean Nathan Award for Dramatic Criticism, and twice had his work selected for the compilation "Best American Essays." He won the ASCAP Deems Taylor Award for "Sinatra's Song," his 1997 profile of Frank Sinatra.
"John Lahr is a critic of passion and intelligence and The New Yorker has been lucky to publish his criticism for a generation," said David Remnick, Editor of The New Yorker. "I'm just glad he's not going anywhere, because he is also a master of the Profile, and he's promised us to keep writing those, even as he works on his books."
"Noel Coward once said, 'I'm not vain but I'm proud.' Me too. I'm proud of the New Yorker, proud to be part of its story, and proud of the range and depth of the theatre coverage on my watch. My years as critic for the magazine have been the happiest in my writing life," said John Lahr.
Lahr is the author of the distinguished biographies "Notes on a Cowardly Lion," the biography of Bert Lahr (1969), and "Prick Up Your Ears," the biography of Joe Orton (1980), which was made into the 1987 film of the same name, written by Alan Bennett and directed by Stephen Frears. His work for The New Yorker is included in the books "Light Fantastic" (1996), "Show and Tell" (2000), and "Honky Tonk Parade" (2005). He has also edited "The Diaries of Kenneth Tynan" (2001) and "The Orton Diaries" (1996).
He has also written for theater and film: He was the co-author of "Elaine Stritch at Liberty," (2002) for which he received a Tony Award — the first for a critic — and the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Book of a Musical. His other plays have been performed in Great Britain's Royal National Theatre and the Royal Exchange, Manchester, and at the Mark Taper Theatre in Los Angeles. Lahr's short film "Sticky My Fingers, Fleet My Feet," directed by John Hancock, was nominated for an Academy Award in 1971.
Lahr was born into a show-business family. His father, Bert Lahr, was the lion in "The Wizard of Oz"; his mother was a Ziegfeld Girl. In the late sixties, during the hey-day of Off-Broadway, he was the theatre critic of The Village Voice and Evergreen Review, as well as drama editor of Grove Press. In the 1970s, Lahr served as literary manager of both the Tyrone Guthrie Theatre in Minneapolis and Lincoln Center Repertory Theatre.
John Lahr lives in London. Hilton Als will continue as theatre critic at The New Yorker, based in New York City.

Oroville >> A Chico man accused of shooting his father was arrested Friday in Oroville by the Butte County Sheriff's Office after authorities received information from an anonymous source.
Harry Thomas Akerson, 27, was taken into custody without incident at 5:30 p.m. at an apartment on 83 Mono Ave., off Table Mountain Boulevard.
Akerson is accused of shooting his 50-year-old father, Harry Tapp, in the neck Thursday at a Nord Avenue apartment complex in Chico.
The Sheriff's Office received information at about 3:30 p.m. Friday on the possible whereabouts of Akerson, and within 20 minutes, units were sent out to find the location, Sheriff's Office Sgt. Jason Hail said on the phone. The anonymous source didn't give an address, but the person was able to provide a good enough description of the place that deputies were able to find it.
Once the apartment was found, eight deputies, detectives, and five K-9 officers with their dogs, which were participating in training, established a perimeter around the location.
Authorities tried to get someone to come out and talk, but no one came to the door, Hail said. After about an hour or an hour and a half, Akerson attempted to exit through a back window. Once he saw the deputies outside he gave up and he was taken into custody, he added.
The Chico Police Department, which sent detectives to Oroville, was informed of the arrest and will be conducting the investigation.
Akerson has been sought since he fled from the scene of the shooting on Thursday morning.
According to witness statements, Akerson entered an apartment complex in the 1100 block of Nord Avenue at about 9:30 a.m. and shot Tapp with a small-caliber handgun. He then allegedly fled north on Nord in a 2004 Jeep Liberty.
Chico police located the Jeep on Joshua Tree Road in north Chico after receiving information Akerson had been seen in the area recently, Chico police Lt. Dave Britt said during a telephone interview. Shortly after Chico police found the car, the Butte County Sheriff's Office notified Chico they had Akerson in Oroville.
Detectives on Friday were attempting to determine who lives at the apartment where Akerson was found, but confirmed that Akerson does not live there. At the time of his arrest, no one else was in the residence.
The apartment has been turned over to Chico police as part of its investigation, Hail said.
Tapp, who underwent surgery, was listed on Friday as being in serious condition at Enloe Medical Center, according to the hospital.
Akerson currently has a felony warrant, but is facing charges of attempted murder, Britt said.
Chico police is working to determine a motive for the shooting.
Britt said authorities have been looking everywhere for Akerson, and they're thankful the public was able to provide information that led to his arrest.

Syngenta hosted an hour-long Twitter chat Thursday with Stephen Powles, Ph.D., on the multiple issues surrounding herbicide-resistant weeds in agricultural crops. Powles is a professor at the University of Western Australia and specializes in herbicide resistance and is directory of the Australian Herbicide Resistance Initiative.
Participants asked multiple questions regarding herbicide resistance and managing these hard to control weeds. Some of the questions included:
- How does resistance management differ in Australia vs. the U.S.?
- What can we in North America learn from Australia?
- With the spread of resistant weeds in North America, what best practices do you recommend?
- Could the Harrington Seed Destructor be effective in the U.S.?
- Should ag industry pros look to increase their budget for dealing with herbicide-resistant weeds this year?
- Where do you see glyphosate weed resistance in 10 years?
- What weed(s) should U.S. farmers be most concerned about developing resistance in 2013?
Powles explained that herbicide resistance started earlier in Australia than it did in the United States, which forced Australia to adopt resistant management strategies earlier than the U.S. However, the U.S. can learn from Australia, he said.
"You can learn [that] the herbicides you have now are precious and yet we are wasting them, so [we] need to reduce sole reliance on herbicides," Powles said.
He also offered his tips for best practices.
"Rotate every herbicide. Reduce glyphosate reliance. Introduce non herbicide tools that make economic sense for you. We rotate herbicides that still work and we use non herbicide tools, especially techniques to target killing weed seeds," he said.
Several questions centered around the Harrington Seed Destructor (HSD), which is designed to capture and kill weed seed at harvest time.
"HSD is a new tool. Killing weed seed is crucial and needed in the U.S.," he said. "[It is] still early days on HSD but late season weed seed kill techniques are a huge opportunity that is needed in the U.S. to counter resistance. Harvest weed seed control techniques (HWSC) include chaff carts, narrow [and] windrow burning. HSD is essential to reduce weeds and resistance management."
Although the eradication of all weed seed is impossible, HWSC helps preserve herbicides, Powles stressed. He explained that the HSD is a tool to help reduce the weed seed. However, it is too early to know if the HSD is appropriate for use in the United States.
"This is a whole new paradigm for U.S. producers and I predict HWSC will become a part of future farming in [the] U.S.," he said.
In looking to the future, Powles said North American ag professionals needed to plan for increasing their budgets for weed control. He explained that glyphosate resistant weeds will become a major Cotton and Corn Belt problem. In the next 10 years, he foresees glyphosate failing even worse. However, he remains optimistic that producers "will adapt and adopt alternatives to beome much more diverse in weed control tools."
As for weeds to watch in 2013, he warned to watch for glyphosate resistant waterhemp and ragweed in addition to Palmer pig weed.

Read more
This MA is unique in combining the study of Buddhism, Buddhist art, and the techniques and conservation of Buddhist art. Offered by The Robert H. N. Ho Family Foundation Centre for Buddhist Art and Conservation at The Courtauld, the MA was established as a one-year degree in 2013. In order to build on and expand the strengths of the programme, the MA is changing in 2017 to a two-year degree taught in collaboration with SOAS.
The MA now brings together world-famous institutions: The Courtauld for the study of art history and conservation, and SOAS for the study of Asia, Africa and the Middle East. Drawing on the unique strengths of the two institutions and their exceptional faculties, the new curriculum of the MA provides detailed and systematic teaching over two years. Each discipline is introduced, expanded and integrated to allow students to obtain the best possible learning experiences and skills acquisition. Designed to provide increased specialisation over the two years, the course culminates in research and a substantial dissertation in the final months.
Offered once every two years, applications are now invited for the programme beginning autumn 2017. Taught by a wide range of specialists from both The Courtauld and SOAS, the MA also benefits from teaching by visiting experts. The course includes study trips to museums in the UK and Europe, and a longer study trip to India to develop an appreciation of Buddhist art in its original contexts. Students also benefit from conferences and public events regularly held by the Ho Centre at The Courtauld.
Drawing also on the research and conservation work undertaken by The Courtauld's Conservation of Wall Painting Department in Bhutan, China and India, this MA is specifically designed to equip students with knowledge of:
•the central concepts of Buddhism, and their historical diffusion;
•the history of Buddhist art in its various religious, social and cultural contexts;
•the materials and techniques involved in the making of various types of Buddhist art;
•approaches to the conservation of Buddhist art, including understanding of the ethical, technical and administrative issues involved.
This MA provides a comprehensive grounding in the history of Buddhism, Buddhist art and its conservation for those intending to pursue further specialist conservation education, and for those who wish to proceed into related fields such as art-historical research, curating, and site-management.
About eight students are accepted on the MA. Applicants from different academic and geographical backgrounds are encouraged to apply. Previous experience in any of the fields covered by the MA is not required.
Please Note: Plans are being made for the redevelopment of The Courtauld's home at Somerset House. The project, called Courtauld Connects, will include the development of state-of-the-art teaching and research facilities. During the redevelopment the location of some teaching will move. Further information on Courtauld Connects will be published on The Courtauld's website over the coming months.
Programme Structure
This two-year MA combining the study of Buddhism, Buddhist art, and the techniques and conservation of Buddhist art, is structured to provide increased specialisation during the course, with a substantial dissertation at the end. The programme consists of interwoven strands. Led by Professor David Park and Dr Giovanni Verri at The Courtauld, and by Dr Christian Luczanits and Dr Vincent Tournier at SOAS, it includes teaching by a wide range of specialists from both institutions and from elsewhere. Some strands will be taught at The Courtauld or on-site, while for others students will join classes at SOAS.
Year 1
The objectives of this year are to provide a grounding in the concepts of Buddhism and their historical diffusion; an appreciation of the chronological development, regional variations and major themes of Buddhist art; an understanding of the making of different types of Buddhist art, and of the ethical, legal and other issues underlying the conservation and display of Buddhist art; and an interdisciplinary exposure to the imagining and presentation of Buddhas and their achievements in South Asia, juxtaposing the textual perspective with what is communicated through imagery. The formal teaching is reinforced through a study trip in the second term to museums in Paris or elsewhere in Europe, and in the third term by a longer study trip to India.
•Strand 1: Critical Concepts in Buddhist Studies Convenor: Vincent Tournier (SOAS) This course is designed to provide a broad understanding of the major processes and dynamics at work in the growth and development of Buddhism as a pan-Asian religion, and with the key methodological tools required to approach this major cultural force in its fascinating diversity.
•Strand 2: History of Buddhist Art Convenors: David Park (The Courtauld) & Christian Luczanits (SOAS) This course provides an overview of Buddhist art with regard to its chronological development, regional variations, major themes, and the multiplicity of different media. Buddhist art in collections will also be studied, examining aspects of collecting and display.
•Strand 3: The Making of Buddhist Art, and Conservation Principles Convenor: Giovanni Verri (The Courtauld) This course provides an introduction to the making of Buddhist art from its origins. Primary sources and technical studies are used to understand the different types of materials employed. It will also provide an introduction to the principles, ethics and other issues underlying the conservation and display of Buddhist art.
•Strand 4: Imag(in)ing Buddahood in South Asia Convenors: Christian Luczanits & Vincent Tournier (SOAS) This course engages in an interdisciplinary manner with the central idea of Buddhism, as it developed within and beyond its South Asian cradle. Bringing together the expertise of an art historian and a historian of Buddhist thought, it will provide exposure to a diversity of approaches to textual, iconographic, and archaeological sources, to understand how Buddhas and their achievements were imagined, presented and encountered by Buddhist practitioners.
•Strand 5: Study trip to museums in Europe To examine Buddhist art in major museums in Paris or elsewhere, considering art-historical, technical and conservation aspects, as well as display and management issues.
•Strand 6: Fragile Inheritance: the Conservation of Buddhist Art Convenor: David Park (The Courtauld) To examine the measures directly involved in the preservation of Buddhist art in museums and in situ; and to examine particular major case studies in detail with regard to the legal, ethical, management, practical and other issues involved.
Year 2
Strand 6 continues in Year 2. More specialised teaching is introduced in a variety of areas: texts, and their relationship to Buddhist objects; the scientific examination and imaging of Buddhist art; and a choice of specialised courses in Buddhist studies and Buddhist art, allowing students to pursue particular interests and to assist in the choice of dissertation topic. The dissertation, undertaken over a period of fourteen weeks, should consider an aspect of the original techniques, conservation, management, curating, history or use of Buddhist art.
•Strand 6: Fragile Inheritance: the Conservation of Buddhist Art Continued from Year 1
•Strand 7: Texts on and around Buddhist objects Convenors: David Park (The Courtauld) & Vincent Tournier (SOAS) This course will
-explore the many ways by which texts inform, respond to, and accompany Buddhist objects across Asian societies. It will, in particular, -explore the Text-Image relationship, examining how textual and visual narratives respond to each other. It will introduce students to the methods of epigraphy and codicology, including the increasing use of imaging technologies.
•Strand 8: Analysis and Imaging of Buddhist Art Convenor: Giovanni Verri (The Courtauld) This course provides an introduction to methods of examination and analysis through the use of visual observations and scientific instruments, and an introduction to and basic instruction in the technical imaging of Buddhist art including multispectral imaging.
•Strand 9: Choice of one of the following specialised courses in Buddhist Studies and one in Buddhist Art at SOAS Students will select these courses in consultation with their tutors, on the basis of their previous background and career objectives; options will also depend on availability at SOAS. This further specialism will aid students in their choice of dissertation topic. Presentations and discussions at The
Courtauld will enable students to harmonise their experience.

•Strand 10: Dissertation: A major component of the MA is a 12,000-word dissertation, undertaken in the second and third terms of Year 2. The dissertation topic should focus on the original techniques, conservation, management, curating, history, or use of Buddhist art. Students are encouraged to design their research to reflect the interdisciplinary nature of the MA. Selection of the topic will be undertaken in the first term of Year 2 in consultation with course tutors, and will include assessment of the state of research, and production of an illustrated outline proposal with references.Topics have been varied; those of the previous one-year MA have included:
-19th– and early 20th-century copies and photographs of the Ajanta murals;
-narrative and biography in early Tibetan teacher portraits;
-tree and forest imagery in Buddhist Yamato-e handscroll paintings;
-technical study and investigation of Nagthangs;
-materials and techniques of red dyed gold from Southeast Asia;
-the influence of Tibetan Buddhism on Ming Imperial porcelains;
-examination and assessment of the environmental conditions of the Textile Museum of Bhutan.This range demonstrates the scope for students to research avenues that significantly develop their individual interests and skills, while also providing a contribution to the field.
Teaching Methods

And? What meaning do you draw from that sutta, as it relates to the topic?
I think lt helps to understand the "next world"....as is found in the post I was replying to....
Hell realm involves āyatanas too. Same with heaven in kāma-loka, rūpa-loka and arūpa-loka. The difference is in amount of āyatana and specific objects that is encountered.
