It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
The first one looks like he's rolling dice, the second one though, is that a slow jerk?
Kareem gets so over looked in top player talk. I have him up there with Jordan as the greatest of all time. I think it had to do with his personality and off the court beliefs why he gets overlooked but Kareem really should be in the convo as a top 1-3 player most people have him well below 5. Wilt was a man before his time he looks like Dwight in terms of body the dude would be unstoppable in today's game. To me he was the LBJ of his era just a guy who was a man amongst boys physically I guess Oscar could be in that category also. But every time I watch Wilt games his size and athleticism is just unreal for his era and any era.
I didn't see the first, but I saw the second. If the camera was panned down enough, you could see his hand, which looked more appropriate. Either way, I'm glad these are on here, I thought that was awesome.
Also, WKUK is hilarious. That was the first sketch I ever saw.

Guidelines that are used across Australia recommend regular health checks for your baby at:
Visiting your GP or community child health nurse on a regular basis gives you a chance to discuss any concerns you may have as well as an opportunity to understand how your child is developing. If you are worried about any aspect of your child's health or development between scheduled check-ups, you should make an appointment to discuss your concerns rather than wait.
Every baby born in Australia is given a Personal Health Record (often referred to as the Blue Book) at birth. This book provides a record of immunisation and health checks, as well as mapping the changes in your baby's development for the first five years of her life.
The PHR also includes age guides for:
Because babies develop at different rates, the growth charts should only be used as a guide. You should bring the book to every visit you may have with a health professional - be that GP, hospital or child health clinic - so that you can provide them with a complete personal history for your baby.
Babies all develop at different rates, so there is a huge variety between them. Because of that, it's a good idea to treat growth chart measurements as a guide. All growth charts are rated in percentiles which cover the variations of 'normal' - and most babies fall between the 5th and 97th percentile bands which are all normal. If your baby is in the 40th percentile for weight and length, it means that he is heavier and taller than 40% of other babies of the same age and sex. A baby in the 80th percentile for head circumference has a larger head than 80% of other babies of the same age and sex - both babies, though, fall comfortably within the 'normal' range.
The most important thing, though, is that your baby is healthy and happy and is growing and developing in his own time - not how he compares on a chart to other babies.
You can work out how tall your child is going to be by using a height predictor tool:

Honey Ginger Carrots with Citrus Salt
A great use for Citrus Finishing Salt is to pair them with carrots!
Honey Ginger Carrots with Citrus Salt
Servings: 4
Prep Time:
Cook Time:
Adapted from Cooks Illustrated
1/2 cup stock (chicken or vegetable)
1/4 teaspoon grated ginger (use microplane grater)
2 tablespoons honey
1 tablespoon unsalted butter (optional)
1/4 - 1/2 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves (or parsley, mint)
1/2 teaspoon Citrus Salt (or to taste)
In a 12" nonstick skillet, bring carrots, stock, ginger and honey to boil over medium heat. Cover and cook for 4-5 minutes. Uncover, poke a carrot with a paring knife. The knife should go through, but you should feel resistance, especially when you try to pull the knife out. Keep uncovered and increase heat to high and allow some of the liquid to boil off for 1 minute. Add butter, thyme leaves and stir to melt butter. Finish with Citrus Salt to taste.
Note: I didn't use the butter in this dish. Figured I had enough fat in the Grilled Garlic Rosemary Steak and Garlic Truffle Fries that I could leave out the butter in this dish.
Another note: Sometimes I use 1/4 cup stock + 1/4 cup orange juice. If you use small carrots or slice them thin, then check the carrots after 3 -4 minutes. I like my carrots with a little bite, so I tend to undercook them.

Intelligent Motor Control Expands Its Reach
Latest Rockwell Automation Drives, Starters and Motor Control Centers Are Smarter, Safer and More Flexible
Rockwell Automation's Intelligent Motor Control offering includes a portfolio of PowerFlex drives, Centerline motor control centers and starters for low- and medium-voltage applications. "By adding intelligence, communication capabilities and making it part of the control architecture at the same time, we can give our customers a series of benefits," said Sergio Gama, market development director, Intelligent Motor Control, as he showed off Rockwell Automation's latest extensions of the line on the Automation Fair exhibit floor this week in Philadelphia.
"Customers make an investment once in this architecture, perhaps to solve an immediate issue, but they also get the ability to drive continuous improvement in areas such as energy efficiency, higher availability, safety and productivity," Gama said. "Each year we try to bring enhancements to this offering."
Now Showing at Automation Fair 2012
Specifically this year, the company unveiled new capabilities to its flagship series of PowerFlex 750 AC drives with expanded voltages, capabilities to 2000 hp, new packaging options and dual-port EtherNet/IP. In addition, Rockwell Automation introduced PowerFlex 525 AC drives with a power range of ½-30 hp, modular design and a variety of motor controls with embedded Ethernet, USB programming, energy savings and safety features.
"Variable-speed control is a fundamental element in plant energy savings," Gama explained. "The 525 series fits the needs of stand-alone applications, as well as most of the machine builder industry, while the 750 series fits the higher end of machine builder needs and across the heavy industries in general."
Both drives have in common what Gama called a "very nice integration experience" with the Rockwell Automation Logix architecture. Both enhance safety with Safe Torque-Off while Safe Speed Monitor is provided for the 750 series.
Both families of drives provide a wealth of diagnostics about the load they're driving and have automatic device configuration. "The Logix controller over EtherNet/IP can automatically detect a replaced PowerFlex drive and will download all configuration parameters for the new drive, eliminating the need for manual reconfiguration," Gama said. "And the Stratix switch on the network automatically reassigns an IP address."

Over the past three months I've been experiencing Chinese Democracy syndrome. Chinese Democracy was the Guns and Roses album that took them a decade to release. They wrote, erased, rewrote, sweated, talked and stressed instead of just letting it out. The truth is I have recorded almost 30 songs for my next album called Joyless Pleasure. I've worked harder and I've been more inspired while making these songs than ever in my life. Certainly it will be my best effort and about half I consider gems. Yet I still sit wanting to make one more song. One more that will be the one that will take it all over the top. I don't have any advice in this post. I'm only sharing this strange experience. I am going to let go. I have my last song in Ableton. Maybe I just don't want to go take the album photos!

The Los Altos City Council last week approved a change in the city's method for charging for sewer services.
The council voted unanimously to switch from an annual water-use-based sewer-service charge per parcel – first used in fiscal year 2008-2009 – to a hybrid model that includes water-use charges and an annual fixed-cost component.
According to a city staff report, the annual per-parcel fixed charge would fund operations such as annual maintenance and treatment costs.
Prior to 2008-2009, the city employed an annual fixed sewer-service charge depending on its use.
The report noted that water conservation efforts by residents have resulted in lower than anticipated billings to cover fixed, maintenance and administrative costs for the city's aging sewer system. Specifically, the report indicated that 25 percent of parcels paid less than $240 annually in the first year of using the water-use-based model. In fiscal year 2012-2013, 36 percent paid less than $240, according to the report.
Prior to casting her vote, Councilwoman Megan Satterlee said she was convinced that the city needed to adopt the hybrid model years ago after noticing that some properties with sewer connections – such as those under construction or homes only inhabited for part of the year – paid little or nothing under the city's water-use-based sewer-service charge system.
"Whether you put 1 gallon of sewage down the line or 500 gallons of sewage, you need a pipe to go from your house to the sewer treatment plant. … You need to pay for the privilege of just having that sewer connection," she said, adding that switching to the hybrid model creates "equity in the system."
Councilwoman Jan Pepper agreed, noting that other service providers – such as electric utilities – typically charge a fixed-cost component as well. She added that the hybrid model is an equitable approach that doesn't necessarily punish water conservers.
"I think the hybrid model is a good model. … If part of it is to cover fixed costs and part of it is based on the variable use of water, then there still will be some kind of incentive for people to try to conserve water and not waste water," she said.
Reached by the Town Crier, Public Works Director Jim Gustafson said the switch should level the playing field, noting that the city's water-use model left average to above-average users subsidizing those who used less.
While the actual dollar figure for the new fixed-cost component is still being determined, Gustafson said he expects an annual charge between $200 and $240. Those figures, he added, fall more closely in line with annual charges paid prior to the city's switch to the water-use model – parcels paid a $285 fixed rate in 2007-2008.
Gustafson said the city is preparing a five-year sewer-rate study, which will require a protest hearing in June prior to posting increases on the county's tax roll for fiscal year 2013-2014. The study will be presented at Tuesday's council meeting.
As part of the city's required noticing process under state Proposition 218, a sewer-rate ordinance will be introduced publicly in June.

It is becoming increasingly threatened as islands become disturbed by human activity and as habitat is destroyed for coconut plantations. The introduction of rats, particularly black rat (Rattus rattus), is a further serious threat and, combined with cats, has probably eliminated the species from all but the most infrequently visited islands. It is listed as endangered by IUCN.

Once again we've come up to another Data Backup Day! Data loss is no joke – not even on April Fool's Day. What would you do if you lost all your research? Are you prepared in case a natural disaster like the recent floods in Rhode Island.
Ways To Backup Your Data
"Back in the day" the ways of securing your data meant copying to CDs or *ugh* even floppy disks (remember those?). Luckily these days we have more and more devices including cheap external drives with 1 TB or more of store and online applications that will backup your data – for free!
- Hard Drive: if you have room on your hard drive, create a "copy folder" of your essential data. This not only gives you a second copy but is what you can use to copy out to CDs, DVDs or other media.
- CDs and DVDs: if your computer has a CD/DVD burner, you can create your own CDs and DVDs to store data.
- External Hard Drive: an external hard drive can connect to your computer via a USB connection and they can hold 1 TB (that's terabyte as in 1,000 GB) at a relatively cheap price (some under $100). What's also nice is the size: some can fit in the palm of your hand.
- Online Backup Services: there are a variety of sites that allow you to backup your data – some even for free!
Data Types To Backup
The main focus is your research database but think about backing up these items as well:
- blog posts and templates
- emails
- Internet favorites and bookmarks
- photos and scanned documents
Data Backup Resources
GeneaBloggers has developed a resource list of data backup methodologies and solutions. Click here to learn how you can backup almost every aspect of your blog, your browser, your computer – even Macs!

Froome: champion of the 100th Tour!
He was the dominant force in the 100th Tour de France and even though Christopher Froome lost 53 seconds to the winner of the final stage and 43 seconds to his nearest rival in the general classification, the Sky team sealed its second successive victory in the Tour de France at the end of the evening spectacle on the streets of Paris. The finish was around 9.40pm in the city of lights and the stars came out to shine: the four at the top of the sprinters classification had a drag race to the line to determine the winner of the 21st stage and it was Marcel Kittel who began the Tour as he...Read more Key moments

At the gateway to Paris, Versailles is a town with an endless wealth of culture. From the Jeu de Paume oath to the first National Assembly with the Declaration of the Rights of Man inbetween, Versailles has been the place of thoughts, writings and decisions that have had a universal impact on man. Its famous castle listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site is one of the most beautiful examples of 17th century French art. Louis XIII's former hunting pavillion was transformed and enlarged by his son Louis XIV who installed his court and the French government there in 1682. Every year the number of visitors nears 7 million. Versailles is also one of the greenest towns in the Île-de-France and its natural heritage is particularly interesting. Partnering the town and the Château to welcome this last stage, the department of Yvelines takes very seriously its policies of developing green routes, most notably with the creation of the network of cycle routes and 'green' lanes crossing about 750 kms of its land.

Paris Champs-Élysées
Every year the Avenue des Champs-Élysée becomes the theatre for the final act of the Tour de France. But to bring this 100th edition to a climax, the sumptuous final of the Grande Boucle will take place in the evening and for the first time the riders will make a complete tour of an illuminated Arc de Triomphe. This celebratory moment that will bring together Parisiens and numerous tourists from all over the world is also a chance to celebrate the bicycle, to which since 2001 Paris has given its rightful place. Today, with the efforts of Vélib' the bicycle hire scheme that was launched six years ago and now available in 30 municipalities in the suburbs, the development of cycle lanes, an increase in the number of 'double sens' lanes open to cyclists and in the near future the arrival of self-service electric bicycles, the town offers its residents and visitors the chance to discover its thousand delights by bicycle. From the new banks of the Seine to the redesigned Place de la République, Paris is dedicated to making travel around the city easy for everyone in a spirit of sharing and freedom.

"We thought he was going to be a Bear," Greg said. "We were excited he was going to be in Chicago."
It wasn't the Bears.
Cincinnati Bengals coach Marvin Lewis was on the phone. The Bengals, a team no one had projected as interested in Eifert, took the record-setting Notre Dame tight end with the No.21 pick in the first round Thursday.
Within seconds, the Eiferts – from Tyler to his parents Greg and Julie to his family and friends who had gathered at the Eifert family home in northeast Allen County – came to the conclusion the Bengals felt like a good call indeed.
"I love Cincinnati," Greg Eifert said. "I love the Bengals. I love their coach. I think it's a great fit for Ty, I really do. To be that close to home where people can see him play – we're really excited for him."
Tyler Eifert was excited, too, perhaps more so than any time in his life.
He has been anxious for days, trying to guess where he would go in the draft. He tried various ways to take get his mind off the mystery. He and some of his friends, including Bishop Dwenger High School and Notre Dame teammate John Goodman, played basketball for two hours Wednesday night. Eifert and Goodman went golfing earlier in the day Thursday.
The mock drafts, which sometimes do indeed mock the players, had him as high has No.6 or as low as No.31.
"It was a little tough because you want to go as early as possible, but you want to be in a good situation," Tyler said. "You have to balance the two."
Eifert turned down a chance to go to New York City for the draft. "That's not him," his mother, Julie, said.
"There have been a lot of people who have been instrumental in getting me where I'm at," Tyler said. "I couldn't do it without a lot of people, and I was happy I could share it with them."
Dozens of relatives and friends descended on the Eifert home, including friends and coaches from his Dwenger days. When the draft started, however, Tyler and his immediate family went to the master bedroom. "Just one of his agents, his girlfriend, his siblings and Greg and I," Julie said.
It has been quite a day long before the draft, a day of anticipation and reflection. Charlie Weis, the coach who saw Notre Dame potential and more in Eifert, emailed Greg Eifert. "Congratulations. Well-deserved," Weis wrote. Greg emailed Weis back, telling him the day would never have happened if Weis hadn't recognized Tyler's talent. That talent flourished further under subsequent Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly.
Finally, Central Michigan offensive tackle Eric Fisher went No.1 to the Kansas City Chiefs and Eifert's real wait started. It would last over 2 � hours.
"At first, it was like excitement," Greg Eifert said, "then all of a sudden, it became painful."
The Jets chose Dee Milliner. Tennessee went another direction. The Jets were up again, but chose Sheldon Richardson. The Steelers? No call.
Goodman said it felt almost like the year former Notre Dame quarterback Brady Quinn had waited and waited for his name to be called. Quinn stewed in New York. Eifert paced at home, far away from any television cameras.
The 49ers traded up, but didn't pick Eifert. The Giants? Maybe the Giants would pick him. They hopped the offensive tackle bandwagon.
Then came the Bears. A lot of analysts projected Eifert to the Bears.
But while the Bears were on the clock, Tyler Eifert's phone rang.
A couple minutes later, Goodman received a text message from his buddy who was huddling upstairs in the master bedroom.
"Bengals," the text read.
"When he came down the stairs after he was drafted, I'd never seen him so happy or excited in his life," Goodman said. "He was excited and giddy and ready to do it, excited to be a Bengal."
The celebration continued into the night, punctuated by fireworks provided by some family friends.
"I don't think I've really comprehended it all yet," Tyler Eifert said. "It's something that will change my life. I'm just excited for the opportunity going forward."
Tyler joked that he maintained his usual calm demeanor but his parents did not. "I said, 'Let's have some composure here.' "
Julie Eifert had told Tyler that whatever team picked him, that would be where he was meant to go. They were to leave early Friday morning to travel to Cincinnati with Tyler to be formally introduced as the newest Bengal.
"When he signed with Notre Dame, I said 'If you go to Notre Dame and you just graduate from Notre Dame, that will be incredible,' " Greg Eifert said. " 'If you get to play at Notre Dame, that would be even more awesome. I just want you to graduate from Notre Dame.' And he took it to the next level."
The next level arrived Thursday. Tyler Eifert met it at home, surrounded by the people he loves the most, as grounded as a first-round NFL draft pick could be.

Drink of DeathScience brain teasers require understanding of the physical or biological world and the laws that govern it.
Gerta's husband left her for another woman, so she decided to make a lethal mixture to take her life. Attempting to make it as powerful as possible, she mixed sodium hydroxide with hydrochloric acid. She quaffed her cocktail of death, but nothing happened. Why?
AnswerSodium hydroxide is a base and hydrochloric acid is an acid. When she mixed them together, they cancelled each other out. If she had taken either of them separately, she would have died. Together, she was drinking salt water.

CHINO HILLS – A grassroots group advocating to bury high-voltage power lines that are planned to run through the city hosted a rally on Wednesday night.
The $2.1 billion Tehachapi Renewable Transmission power line project aims to carry wind-generated electricity from Kern County to the Los Angeles Basin.
Southern California Edison already has started extending the towers in the city's right-of-way.
But city officials and the grassroots group Hope for the Hills have advocated building the project underground or through the neighboring Chino Hills State Park.
Wednesday night saw the group dig a ceremonial first ditch for the undergrounding.
Hope for the Hills officials ordered five custom-made shovels with blades of neon yellow and emblazoned with the group's logo for the rally, according to a news release from the group.
Each shovel was autographed by Hope for the Hills activists as a memento to top management of SCE as well as the City Council and city manager.
Chino Hills officials have spent more than $2 million battling Edison in a lawsuit for two years insisting its 5-mile right-of-way through the city is too narrow for the proposed 198-foot towers and causes safety hazards.
Since early May, the city and Southern California Edison have been in settlement negotiations on the routing of the 500-KV power lines.
The gathering put on by Hope for the Hills was at a tower behind Veterans Park at the corner of Chino Hills Parkway and Eucalyptus Avenue.

Detailed Description:
The role of antiplatelet therapy (chiefly aspirin) for the secondary prevention of heart attacks and strokes is firmly established for many high-risk people with diagnosed arterial disease, and the proportional reductions in these cardiovascular events appear to be about one quarter, whether or not such patients have diabetes. But, most younger and middle-aged people with diabetes do not have manifest arterial disease - although they are still at significant cardiovascular risk - and yet few trials have tested aspirin in such individuals. As a result, there is substantial uncertainty about the role of aspirin for the prevention of heart attacks and strokes among apparently healthy people with diabetes, and only a small minority receives it.
There is consistent evidence from observational studies of lower rates of cardiovascular disease (particularly cardiac and sudden death) in people with higher intakes, or higher blood levels, of fish oils (omega-3 fatty acids). Trials in people who have survived a heart attack have shown modest, but potentially worthwhile, reductions in coronary events. There have been, however, no large-scale trials of the use of fish oils for the prevention of vascular events in people without diagnosed arterial disease.
If ASCEND can reliably demonstrate that aspirin and/or fish oils safely reduce the risk of cardiovascular events and deaths in people with diabetes who do not have pre-existing arterial disease, then this would be relevant to some tens of millions of people world-wide (who are currently not receiving such therapy) and might save tens of thousands of lives each year.

I am interesting in evidence for early Buddhism and would like to find out what the earliest inscription evidence reveals.
Does anyone know of what the earliest evidence is and what the inscriptions reveal?
What about the earliest manuscripts? I believe that the Gandhari ones being analysed by Richard Salomon may be the oldest dating to around the 1st century AD, and there are also other manuscripts called the Senior manuscripts.
The oldest Theravada manuscript is apparently a fragment of the vinaya from the 12th century found in Nepal. There have also been some small engravings found inside a Stupa from Burma dating from around the 6th century.
Its a fascinating topic and would love to know more if anyone has any details.

The Mushroom Council will focus on the roles research and education play in growing the mushroom category at its inaugural Mushroom and Health Nutrition Summit from Sept. 9-10 in Washington, D.C.
"It has always been central to the Mushroom Council's strategy to invest in nutrition research," said Bart Minor, president of the San Jose, Calif.-based group.
"Continued focus on mushroom research has unveiled the countless nutrition and health benefits mushrooms provide," he said.
The Mushroom and Health Summit will bring together the world's top scientists, nutritionists and health professionals to discuss and explore the role research plays in improving consumer health and the nutrient content of the food supply, Minor said.
The summit will examine mushrooms and the strength of the science linking mushrooms and health in areas such as vitamin D, weight management and disease prevention.
Discussion areas will include current trends in global mushroom use, consumption and economic contribution as well as ways to translate the science on mushrooms into action.
City of Hope campaign
Also this October, for the fifth year, the Mushroom Council plans to conduct its in-store City of Hope Pink Campaign to support breast cancer research and awareness.
"The mushroom pink promotion has found great success in lifting sales throughout the past five years," marketing coordinator Kathleen Preis said. "Continued success is expected this year, especially with increased digital support including guest bloggers, Twitter parties and Facebook posts."
Greater consumer awareness linking mushrooms and health should drive demand this year more than ever, she said.
In 2012, national mushroom retail dollars increased 2% during the Pink promotion, she said.
Summer promotions, activities
The fall activities come on the heels of a summer full of successful events.
The Mushroom Council returned for the second year to the School Nutrition Association's annual National Conference in Kansas City, Mo., in July.
"After an overwhelming reception to the blendability concept in 2012, the council made an even greater impression at this year's conference by sampling several mushroom-blended school recipes and sponsoring a culinary demonstration," Preis said.
Council representatives served mushroom and turkey meatloaf, mushroom and beef taco salad, and pasta with mushroom marinara to school foodservice directors, and the council's digital team filmed school foodservice directors' personal testimonials about their experiences with blendability, she said.
The videos will be available on the new Mushrooms in Schools website, mushroomsinschools.com.
Mushroom blendability also had a strong presence at the Produce Marketing Association's Foodservice Conference in Monterey, Calif.
Jamaican jerk mushroom wraps were served at the opening reception, showcasing how seamlessly mushrooms can be substituted for meat, she said.
And at the Reverse Action Station chef demo lunch buffet, attendees were able to build their own mushroom-blended burgers and experience mushroom blendability firsthand, she said.
Trends at colleges, universities
The Mushroom Council also has been working with colleges and universities to introduce mushroom blendability.
University dining directors have noticed a consistent increase in students who follow vegetarian, flexitarian, plant-based and Meatless Monday diets, Preis said.
"Overall, university students tend to be more conscious on issues like sustainability and nutrition, making the perfect market for mushrooms and mushroom blendability," she said.
The Mushroom Council recently hosted a mushroom culinary competition at Washington University in St Louis, Mo., where university chefs were invited to develop mushroom blendability and swapability recipes.
The Mushroom Council continues to cross-promote with the Meatless Monday campaign, she said.
"Mushrooms have long been a favorite for those following vegetarian and flexitarian diets, due to their meaty texture and umami flavor," Preis said.

Day 10 (Friday) of the camp.
Last day of teaching--the performance will be tomorrow.
The intermediate group finished Mendiani. Not easy to feel, and quite a difficult solo.
The advanced group quickly rehearsed Djigui and then moved on to one of Mamady's dununba compositions called Seli Mafo. "Seli" means celebration or prayer, and "Mafo" means good or happy. In other words, it means "Happy party".
On days of festivals and celebrations, there is a custom among the Mandingue people to have a group of drummers walk around the village to wake people up in a joyful way at 5:00 am (!) in preparation of the day's celebrations. I asked whether people wouldn't throw things at the musicians for being woken up at 5:00am by drums and the answer was "only money"
Normally, a variety of traditional party rhythms are played for this occasion; Mamady composed this rhythm to have something else to throw into the mix and to honor the custom...
Mamady taught a view dununba echauffements and finished the session with a demonstration. I posted a sound clip of his demo.
Late afternoon, we had a rehearsal for tomorrow's performance. Good fun, and good energy. The performance is at a local school, and proceeds are donated to a charity. Looks like we'll have a great time tomorrow!

Beijing's Rescue Dogs Take A Bite Out of Crime at Olympics
Beijing Rescue Dogs Have a Big Job Ahead
I know I mentioned Dogs With Jobs the other day when I introduced you to Ellie, the pup who has been caring for motherless bunnies, but these rescue dogs have a whole career ahead of them!
Rescue dogs in Beijing animal shelters are getting a second chance at life, and plenty of new responsibilities now that they have been drafted into Chinese military forces as search and rescue trainees, and will also use their noses at this year's Beijing Olympics to sniff out drugs and bombs.
Over 160 poochies have been sent to the capital from across the country, and from these pics, they've already made some real progress in their training! Check out this slideshow to see some of the pups in action. And let me just say – it's amazing what they can do!

Gregorius returns from concussion
SAN DIEGO -- Shortstop Didi Gregorius was reinstated from the seven-day concussion disabled list before the D-backs' matchup with the Padres on Saturday.
To make room for Gregorius on the 25-man roster, outfielder Alfredo Marte was optioned to Triple-A Reno.
Gregorius was hit in the head by a Josh Outman fastball on April 26 against the Rockies and sustained a mild concussion. He played in extended spring training games on Thursday and Friday at the team's Salt River Fields complex in Scottsdale, Ariz.
Gregorius said he was not worried about getting hit again.
"Not really, I was just trying to get my at-bats, trying to work on everything," Gregorius said. "Things happen in the game that you can't control."
In fact, Gregorius was struck in the leg by a pitch during one of the games.
"It's tough like that because you get pitchers from extended and they don't have the control every time," he said. "Everywhere you go pitchers don't always have the control because it's not easy to pitch. One was a little bit wild, I got hit by a pitch, but that's all right. I stayed in there because I really wanted my at-bats, so they put somebody at first for me and I stayed in and hit."
Marte was hitting .186 in 43 at-bats for the D-backs. He made the team out of Spring Training after injuries caused outfielders Cody Ross and Adam Eaton to start the year on the disabled list.
"He's come a long way, certainly, since we watched him last year," D-backs manager Kirk Gibson said of Marte, who played at Double-A Mobile in 2012. "He had a good spring. With all the injuries, he had a chance to play and make an impression. It'll be good for him to go down there and play. He has an understanding of what it's all about here. There are some things we talked to him about before he left that we want him to work on. He'll continue to improve."

An 18-year-old Muslim teen, named after Israel's prime minister, was recently granted Israeli citizenship and will serve in the Israel Defense Forces.
Yitzhak Rabin was the talk of the news in Israel this past week following the fulfillment of a dream.
Of course, the Rabin in question was not former Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, who was assassinated in 1995, one year after signing a peace treaty with Jordan. This Yitzhak Rabin was an 18-year-old Jordanian-born teenager who dreamed of gaining Israeli citizenship and the chance to enlist in the IDF.
Yitzhak Rabin Namsy — his full name — was named by his Muslim parents in honor of the prime minister, who was noted for his two terms as leader of Israel's government, signing the Oslo Accords with the PLO in 1993, and reaching a peace treaty with Jordan in 1994. He was also celebrated for his role as IDF chief of staff during the Six Day War.
But following the unusual naming of their son, the family was harassed and forced to flee to Israel. In 1998, they settled in Eilat.
The young Rabin was informally adopted by the prime minister's widow, Leah Rabin, and granted 'temporary resident' status. After she died in 2000, the teen applied for full citizenship.
"I want to become an officer [in the army], and continue in the path of Yitzhak Rabin, may his memory be blessed," he told a reporter in November. "I want to give back to the state in a way that would make Yitzhak [Rabin] … proud of me. I don't understand what the problem is here."
In the end, a lengthy court battle proved successful for the young man. Hebrew newspaper Maariv reported that Interior Minister Gideon Sa'ar personally traveled to Eilat to present the 18-year-old with his Israeli identification card.

Government shutdown 2013: D.C. replenishes fund drained by shutdown
WASHINGTON (AP) - The District of Columbia government has replenished the reserve fund that it used to keep the city running during the federal shutdown.
The city government can't spend local tax revenue without authorization by Congress. The city spent more than $148 million out of its contingency cash reserves during the 16-day shutdown, leaving little more than $1.5 million in the fund.
The district's Office of the Chief Financial Officer says that $148 million has been put back into the fund, restoring its starting balance of just under $150 million.
The city was prepared to tap additional reserves once the contingency fund ran out, but that didn't prove necessary.
The city also lost tax revenue during the shutdown, and it won't be reimbursed for picking up trash on National Park Service property.

Sound Off for Dec. 5, 2012
Published 12:00 am, Tuesday, December 4, 2012
The Torrington ACO is looking for the owner of a young pitbull tied up and abandoned. The Waterbury police had to physically intervene when a man continued to beat his pitbull with a golf club after being ordered to stop. The pitbull sustained injuries, was emaciated with his spine and ribs showing. This is an example of the sort of blind loyalty this breed has for their masters. Picture one sitting, waiting in vain for its owner. Picture the other being beaten over and over and yelled at. What will the fate of these two dogs be? Probably the same as many other pitbulls. Euthanize. I urge anyone who is looking for a wonderful, fiercely loyal dog to consider adopting a pitbull out of the Torrington pound, Waterbury pound. The ACO's know the temperament of the dogs, know the situation they came out of and the type of home where they would be most suited to fit into. Read about pitbulls, find out what kind of dogs they really are. If you cannot adopt, pass the word about the dogs. Take a minute and buy a few dog treats, some canned food, look at your older towels and blankets. The dogs in the pound, whether they pass thru for a short time and leave this earth or by a miracle find a slot in a shelter or are adopted have had a tough life. Their time in the pound very well may be the only time in their short lives that they are not hungry, cold, thirsty, beaten or neglected. Please, do what you can to help out. Leave your donation at the pound. It will be gratefully appreciated by the animals. And, thank the ACO's who have to clean up after abusive, negligent owners. They are the ones who make the choice of which dog will live when the pound gets full.
I have been reading some Sound off's post regarding people working on holidays. Someone answered the original posting stating that police, firefighters, and hospital workers took their jobs knowing that they would have to work on holidays. How wonderful of this person who is obviously a business person to instruct people as to live their lives while maintaining that they do not want government intruding on their own personal lives. I might add that police, firefighters and hospital workers belong to unions and are well compensated for their holiday time. Restaurant workers and big box store workers are not. For them it is the same old pay while others play on the holiday. Wealthy people and those in business beware -- the more you tell working people how to run their lives, the less likely you will be able to control an organized labor force.
This is a message to corporate America or the name you hide behind and demand special treatment from the government by controlling the Republican party. Corporations are not people or the election would have a different turnout. You must remember that we the voters are many of your former employees, the ones you turned your backs on and ran to the Communists for cheap labor. We the people are the ones you laid off and force the remainder of those working for you to bear the burden of multi-tasking with no incentive other than fear of losing a job. We work for you. Please follow your directions at work. However, at the end of the day, we control our lives. Until you bring our jobs back and stop treating us as chess pieces, we don't forget the hardship inflicted on many, not because of slow business, because of greed. The Republican party has to realize that in the early part of the 20th century, people had stable jobs to count on. We built everything and everyone purchased items from each other. We were self-contained and yes, businesses did well also. Now Republican still defend a corporate mentality which takes from America and chooses to invest little in return., There are other issues why Republicans lost this election of 2012. However, when Americans vote, unlike the people in Communist China are able to do. We can fully express what is not right with America.

The Bulls Keep Running
After today's action, even the bulls are growing a weary of this lopsided market. It has been slowly inching up since the big gap to start the new year, and the pace of the advance gained momentum today. The persistence of the buyers is impressive.
We simply have not looked back since the big move on the fiscal-cliff deal. There have been very minor pullbacks, but the upside move has been slow enough to prevent the market from being dramatically overbought. It is still in good shape technically, although the bears are complaining loud and long about complacency. I heard quite a few traders express disappointment today with the action on their screens. They felt they weren't keeping up with the indices and weren't happy with the action in individual holdings. Whatever drove the indices today wasn't in the portfolios of the traders I talked with....161 more words left in this article. To read them, just click below and try Real Money FREE for 14 days.

Governor Jerry Brown's administration released draft regulations Dec. 18, 2012 requiring oil companies for the first time to disclose where hydraulic fracturing is used in California after receiving tremendous pressure from state lawmakers and environmentalists.
The proposed rules released by the California Division of Oil, Gas and Geothermal Resources will require oil companies to reveal that information on a national fracking registry, FracFocus.org, after they use the procedure. The rules also require energy firms to test the integrity of the wells before fracking to guard against leaks and to report the test results to regulators before beginning operations.
Chemicals deemed "trade secrets" would only have to be publicly disclosed in the event of a spill or accidental release, as needed for an emergency response or for medical treatments.
"Experience in other states has shown that such trade secret exemptions are being widely used and likely abused," the Environmental Working Group's Bill Allayaud said in a prepared statement.
Regulators said trade secrets are not widely claimed in other states.
One provision that would be unique to California is the requirement for evaluation of wells near the hydraulic fracturing operations. Fracking is readily used in California and has been for decades, but the state has never required disclosure of the chemicals used in fracking or the location of the activities.
The proposed regulations would "spell out what you need to do when you engage in hydraulic fracturing," Jason Marshal, chief deputy director of the Department of Conservation, told reporters in a conference call.
These regulations are labeled as a "pre-rulemaking discussion draft" – an entry to discuss the process before finalizing the rules, which is expected to begin early next year.
While oil production has been continuous in California since 1900, ranking it as the third largest oil producing state, the state is prepping for an influx of operators coming to further explore the Monterey Basin.
California Lease Sale
In December 2012, the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM), which oversees the mineral rights, auctioned 15-oil-and-gas lease parcels spanning 17,837.80 acres in the Golden State.
The parcels, located in Fresno, Monterey and San Benito counties, were auctioned for a total of $104,099.50 with West Coast Land Service, Bakersfield, paying the highest total bid price of $23,200 for a 2,320-acre parcel. The parcel is located in Monterey County, California.
The December sale was a fraction of what the Department of Energy garnered from BLM onshore oil & gas lease sales in 2012, generating a total amount of $233 million. This year, BLM held 31 onshore oil and gas sales and received bids on more than 1.4 million acres of public land in 1,707 parcels. The BLM offered 2,315 parcels of land in 2012, which is 32 percent more than in 2011 and 41 percent more than in 2010.
"Developing energy resources on public lands creates jobs and helps power our future as the economy continues to gain strength," said Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar in a statement.
Why California?
Many in the industry are applauding America's new turn in energy independence, which is expected to provide more than 600,000 jobs directly attributable to shale gas development.
"Every oil and gas sector job supports four additional jobs," said Don Clarke, an LA consulting geologist. "I think there are a lot of jobs to be had in the LA Basin," Clarke said. "There are many, many jobs … the potential is enormous."
And with the possibility of additional jobs and energy independence, operators are scouring the lands for possible commercial success with eyes zeroing in on California. Monterey Shale/Santos, a prolific source rock for many of California's large oil fields, is considered by far the largest shale oil formation in the United States, roughly two-thirds of total oil shale potential. By those numbers, the Monterey reserves trump the Bakken and Eagle Ford fields.
This new onshore oil play can easily pump up the nation's oil output by 25 percent in just a few years and help the state's local energy picture. California has more recoverable reserves in shale than nearby big oil-producing countries, according to a July report issued by the U.S. Energy Information Administration.
With these numbers, the industry is taking notice and has been for quite some time. Nonetheless, there hasn't been a truly successful Monterey resource play to date. Some have speculated that the southern California play area for the Monterey Shale is too faulted and fragmented for commercial development.
"A lot of people are exploring this formation, but fracturing and understanding it is the key," stated Clarke. "How readily is the rock and how easily it breaks, and understanding it is critical. Well control is very important."
But this hasn't detracted operators from exploring the land. California is sitting on a potential second resurgence of its oil patch that it might be able to fix the state budget deficit and sharply cut unemployment. The state contains more than 400 billion barrels of original-oil-in-place, estimated to hold 15.42 billion barrels, or 64 percent, of the total shale play that is currently residing in the United States. Comparatively, the United States has three times the proven reserves of Saudi Arabia in shale oil.
Occidental Petroleum (Oxy) is the largest natural gas producer and third-largest oil producer in the state of California. The company holds 1.7 million, largely net acres, of which some 873,000 overlay Monterey Shale prospects, according to the EIA 2011 assessment.
Oxy and Venoco Inc. are jointly funding a 500-square mile 3D seismic survey, the largest survey ever conducted in California. The companies expect to have all of the data in-house early this summer.

Luis F. Bensimon | Jan. 15, 2013I used to work in the CA oil & gas industry all throughout the 90s. I witnessed first hand the crashing down of the local Oil & Gas industry. Ventura, for instance, went from being a bustling town to a ghost town in a few years. With sadness I saw the crumbling down of the industry, one business after another shutting down and moving out. Unemployment became rampant and I was forced to move to TX in search of better conditions. I honestly hope I could see the rebirth of the Oil & Gas industry in CA still in my productive life. CA could very well follow the Norway example, boosting the Oil & Gas industry while keeping the environment pristine.
Dallas | Jan. 14, 2013Time & excuses (errrr) reasons for more taxes are running out on the Dems here in Cali. Brown knows this, even if he is loathe to admitt it. He is quietly working channels with the WH staff to garner support that affords he and Senate majority leader Darrell Steinberg cover from backlash from their base as he prepares to open the door to new oil development here. With more oil here in California than the Saudi penninsula; what the hell are we waiting for?
Jerry | Jan. 4, 2013Its a thing for OXY that Aramand Hammer is not there or they would not be in Cal.
John Graves | Jan. 4, 2013Late to the party, late to the punch bowl... CA, once the leader in oil and gas development, is today the laggard, held back by chains of promised lands. We may have proven shale oil reserves in excess of Saudi Arabia, but having worked in both places, I find the Saudis far more open to E&P. Good luck to us in California. Perhaps the need for tax revenue trumps the "Promised Land concerns... John Graves: Fracking, Americas Alternative Energy Revolution. www.frackusa.com

The name Maurizio Pollini evokes an extremely important career: the story of an
artist known all over the world, prized by audiences and critics across many latitudes
and several generations. As a performer for more than 40 years in all the major European,
American, and Japanese concert halls and festivals, Mr. Pollini has performed with
the most celebrated conductors and orchestras.
He has been awarded many international prizes: Vienna Philharmonic Ehrenring (1987),
Goldenes Ehrenzeichen (1995), Ernst von Siemens Music Prize (1996), "A Life for
Music-Arthur Rubinstein" Prize (1999), Arturo Benedetti Michelangeli Prize (2000), Praemium
Imperiale in Tokyo (2010), and Royal Philharmonic Society Music Award (2012).
In 1995, Mr. Pollini opened the Pierre Boulez Festival in Tokyo. That same year and in
1999, the Salzburger Festspiele invited him to create and present his own series of
concerts, which included works of different epochs and styles. He has since curated series
of concerts at Carnegie Hall; Cité de la musique; Auditorium Parco della Musica; Accademia
Nazionale di Santa Cecilia; Teatro alla Scala; the Lucerne Festival; as well as in Tokyo,
Berlin, and Vienna. In 2004, Mr. Pollini was the Artist Étoile at the Lucerne Festival,
where he performed a recital and concerts with orchestras conducted by Claudio Abbado and
Pierre Boulez.
Mr. Pollini's repertoire ranges from Bach to contemporary composers, including premiere
performances of works by Giacomo Manzoni, Luigi Nono, and Salvatore Sciarrino; as well as
the complete Beethoven sonatas, which he has performed in Berlin, Munich, Milan, New York,
London, Vienna, and Paris.
Mr. Pollini's recordings of Classical, Romantic, and contemporary repertoire have received
critical acclaim worldwide. His recordings of Schoenberg's complete works for piano, as
well as works by Berg, Webern, Manzoni, Nono, Boulez, and Stockhausen are a testament to
his great passion for music of the 20th century. Mr. Pollini's recent recording of Chopin
nocturnes received both a Grammy Award for Best Instrumental Soloist Performance and
the Disco d'Oro in 2007. In 2006, he was awarded an ECHO Klassik, Choc de la Musique,
Victoires de la Musique, and Diapason d'Or. Mr. Pollini has recorded multiple Mozart
concertos with the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra. His recording of Brahms's Piano Concerto
No. 1 with the Staatskapelle Dresden and Christian Thielemann was released as both a CD and
DVD in 2011.
Deutsche Grammophon recently released a three-CD box set dedicated to the art of Maurizio
Pollini, as well as a new CD in late 2012 that features Chopin preludes and other

Welcome to the Sofia Inn!
The good stuff about the Sofia Inn:
- Located on a leafy street in the heart of brownstone Brooklyn.
- An old beautiful house with to-die-for ambiance
- Situated thrillingly close to Manhattan (two blocks from four subway lines, all of them only 20 minutes from Manhattan)
- Two blocks from Grand Army Plaza, epicenter of the world's greatest borough (don't take it from us; take it from editors at the renowned Lonely Planet travel guide who, last year, included Brooklyn in their list of world's must-see places).
- Mere steps to Prospect Park, the Brooklyn Zoo, the Brooklyn Public Library's main branch, the Brooklyn Botanical Gardens, the Brooklyn Museum of Art (second largest art museum in America), and, best of all, the Park Slope/Prospect Heights neighborhood—the city's hottest neighborhood.
- Restaurants, taverns, music, theater, sports, 24-hour delis: all the amenities of Manhattan, but with Brooklyn's brownstone charm, a magnet to an exciting mix of brokers, writers, artists, activists, and students.
The bad stuff:
- There's nothing bad! It's all good! We can't wait to meet you!!

In 2003, there was a death of a U.S. major league baseball pitcher which was thought to be related to ephedra. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has collected more than 800 reports of serious toxicity, including more than 22 deaths. On February 6, 2004, the FDA issued a rule prohibiting the sale of dietary supplements containing ephedrine alkaloids (ephedra). This rule was issued because supplements with ephedra present a serious risk of illness or injury.
In 2005 this rule was struck down in Utah but reversed again four months later. Ephedra is currently banned throughout the United States. It remains unclear whether ephedra will re-appear on the market, despite serious safety risks, including heart events or death.
Ephedra sinica, a species of ephedra (ma huang), contains ephedrine and pseudoephedrine. Ephedra has been found to stimulate the nervous system, increase airflow into the lungs and constrict blood vessels. In combination with caffeine, ephedra appears to cause weight loss. However, effects of ephedra or ephedrine monotherapy have been mixed. Ephedrine has been widely studied for asthma and low blood pressure. However, quality research of commercial supplements with ephedra is lacking.
Major safety concerns have been associated with ephedra or ephedrine use, including high blood pressure, increased heart rate, nervous system excitation, irregular heartbeat, heart attack, and stroke.

*** For more information about PAWS or to fill out an application visit: www.pawsct.org ***
PAWS is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization in continuous operation since 1962 by Westport, Connecticut resident Betty Long to rescue homeless dogs and place them in permanent homes. In the early 1980s, our rescue efforts were expanded to include cats. PAWS rescues & rehomes approximately 100 dogs and 450 cats annually. Many of the dogs faced euthanasia at local pounds and most of the cats that we help are strays and abandoned cats that roam our streets. A portion of the pets that come to PAWS have been relinquished by their owners who are no longer able to care for them.
As we are a registered non-profit, all contributions to PAWS are fully tax-deductible as allowed by law.
PAWS has a handful of paid staff and a team of dedicated volunteers that help with everything to fundraising, to kennel work, to walking dogs and much, much more. Every person at PAWS is a valued & needed member of our team - without them we could not accomplish the miracle that happen every day!
For 37 years, PAWS rented space from local boarding kennels & veterinary hospitals. Over time, the demands placed on us by the community increased and we felt that in order to increase & expand our services, we would need our own shelter. In 1999, PAWS undertook the task of building a shelter of our own. We moved into our own shelter in 2001 and have since greatly increased the number of pets we have been able to help.
We constantly seek to increase the number of lives we can save by finding adoptive homes for the animals in our care, working closely with other animal groups, and raising funds to secure the supplies and facilities necessary for our operation.
PAWS also seeks to decrease the number of unwanted pets by informing and educating the public about the importance of spaying and neutering. PLEASE NOTE: PAWS does not provide low cost spay/neuter programs for pets. For low cost spay/neuter resources, please visit the spay/neuter section of our links page on our website at www.pawsct.org.
ADOPTION HOURS (For Dogs & Cats):
* Monday - Friday - Noon to 5 pm
* Saturdays and Sundays - Noon to 4 pm
We encourage people to come in during the week if at all possible. Saturday is our busiest day & things get quite hectic. If you choose to come on a Saturday, please understand that the wait can be quite lengthy.
When coming to see pets, please expect to spend at least one hour at PAWS with the pets. It is important that you spend time with the animals in order to select a pet that is a good match for your family.
Please understand that we have limited staffing. We want your experience in adopting a pet to be the best possible and want to give potential adopters adequate time to meet & spend time with the pets they are considering adopting.

The cat adoption application can be found at http://www.pawsct.org/cat-app
The dog adoption application can be found at http://www.pawsct.org/dog-app
Adoption fees help us defray the cost of the animal's food, boarding and medical care. Any additional donation you would like to make above the minimum is greatly appreciated. Your contributions are tax deductible.
Cats & Kittens: $100
The feline adoption fees include age-appropriate vaccines and testing for Feline Aids and Feline Leukemia for kittens over 12 weeks of age (Please Note: No test is 100% accurate for these viruses). We spay/neuter all cats and kittens old enough for the procedures before they go home with you. Kittens too young to be safely spayed or neutered are sent home as Foster To Adopt. Paws retains ownership until the kitten is big enough for spay/neuter and the procedure's cost is then covered as part of the adoption donation you pay.
Dogs & Puppies: $210
The canine adoption fees include age-appropriate vaccine, testing for heartworm, and microchip. We spay/neuter all dogs and puppies old enough for the procedures before they go home with you. We also offer low-cost options for spaying/neutering unaltered puppies when they are old enough to be altered.
Thank You!
Your message has been sent to PAWS (Pet Animal Welfare Society).
You'll receive a copy, too, at to help you keep track of which pets you've inquired about, and which shelters and rescues you've emailed.
