Wildlife trade experts say climate, not commercial trade, is primary threat to polar bears
"Icon on Ice: International Trade and Management of Polar Bears" gathers the best available information on the legal market for polar bear skins and other parts, and has been peer reviewed by international experts.

"The retreat of sea-ice habitat, driven by runaway global climate change, is by far the leading threat to polar bears", says WWF polar bear specialist Geoff York. "The most urgent need for polar bear conservation at this time is an effective and strong climate change deal that keeps global average temperature increases under 2 degrees C and sets a clear path towards an equitable and sustainable low carbon economy."
Countries with polar bear populations are committed by international treaty to conserve polar bears and protect their habitat, and have identified climate change as the primary threat to address.
The TRAFFIC report makes recommendations to ensure trade remains sustainable, including better monitoring of polar bear populations, and improvements in trade data reporting and tracking, education, and enforcement to prevent illegal trade and poaching.

CARSON, Calif. -- Mike Magee continued his torrid scoring run on Saturday with a goal in the LA Galaxy's 2-2 draw against Toronto FC and held on to his spot atop the MLS scoring charts.
After four games, Magee has scored five goals and has already equaled his regular season goal total from the 2011 and 2012 seasons. Magee is just two away from his regular season career-high which he set during his rookie year in 2003 while a member of the MetroStars.
Following training on Monday, forward Landon Donovan offered his thoughts on Magee's scoring run.
DONOVAN: "To those of us who see him all the time, it's not a surprise. I've said this many times that he and Robbie are far away the best two finishers on this team. I think that Jose will be a close second behind those two. He's taking his chances. He always gets chances, every game that we play, he gets chances and he is sort of the forgotten guy in the fold. Teams keep forgetting about him and he keeps punishing them. Until they figure out that that's a guy that they got to mark, he'll keep scoring goals. And he probably still will even if they decide to mark him."
A couple notes from Monday's session are below..
*Gyasi Zardes was out at training on Monday running laps while the team trained. This development comes a month after Zardes said that he was hoping to return to training sometime in April.
*Bryan Gaul and Kenney Walker trained fully with the full group for the first time on Monday after dealing with injuries.

December 1941. Goodyear Aircraft, Akron, Ohio. "Formerly an
aircraft dock
, this huge building, thought to be the largest in the world with no interior supports, is now the scene of many busy shops turning out aircraft parts. Either new housing close to the plant or vastly improved public transportation will eventually have to be supplied, for the tires on the cars of the workers, and perhaps even the cars themselves, will in many instances give in before the end of the present emergency."

PMC Yosemite
General information
The PMC-Sierra Yosemite reference board has the Rm9000x2 processor. The Yosemite board has the Titan SoC which supports Dual core Rm9000x2, Gigabit Ethernet, PCI and Hypertransport.
Detailed Description
- PMC-Sierra Yosemite Board Configuration:
- Dual core Rm9000x2 operating at 1.0 Ghz
- Upto 1 GB of DDR memory
- Three onboard Gigabit Ethernet Interfaces
- Hypertransport interface that supports upto 500 MHz Link Frequency. Currently, this interface is compatible with the Alliance Sipacket/Natasha HT-PCIX bridge and the PLX HT-PCIX bridge
- Two PCI busses and four PCI slots
- Two external and two native UARTS (16550 compatible)
Architecture Issues
The Titan Revision 1.0 and 1.1 support the three state MEI protocol. As a result of which SMP Linux can only be supported with a hack to the Linux MM to disable page sharing. The newer revision of the chip (1.2) has this fixed and supports the five state MOESI protocol
The Titan 1.0 and 1.1 MAC subsystem does not support IP header alignment for incoming packets. As a result, the Linux driver has to do an extra copy for each incoming packet before passing the packet to the higher layers of the network stack. This is fixed in Titan 1.2.
Linux Support
Linux 2.4 supports all revisions of Titan but doesn't take advantage of Titan 1.2 an newer. Linux 2.6 removed most of the backward compatibility code for Titan revisions older than 1.2 but takes full advantages of features only available in this revison.

- Where applicable, the introduction to an article should include an image of the topic. The standard format is a thumbnail image on the right border of the page. Wiki code for the image would be similar to the following:
[[Image:filename.jpg|thumb|right|Image description]]
- Break articles into sections using Level 2 Wiki headings.
==Heading Text==
- When mentioning a term that has an article of its own in the Wiki, create a Wiki link the first time the term appears in the article.
link an [[Article title]] where it first appears
- The reference feature is enable on Imperial Wiki. Create notes in the text using the following code format:
<ref>Source reference</ref>
- Create a notes heading at the bottom of the article for the footnotes using the following code:
<references />
Standard Formats
- Some subjects, such as classes of starship and political factions, have more-or-less standardized formats for their pages. Before creating a new article, look for similar articles in the Wiki to determine whether articles of that type have a consistent format that you should duplicate.
- When creating a new article, try to determine if it fits into any of the existing ImperialWiki categories. If it does, categorize it appropriately using a Category link at the end of the article.

Restaurant Review
Japengo Sushi
Go for deliciously irreverent sushi
I first noticed Japengo Sushi while eating dessert at the neighboring Café Jean Pierre. As I sipped my coffee I watched the great chef Jean-Pierre dash from his just-closed kitchen and out the restaurant's door, returning moments later with a plate of sushi. This quiet endorsement spoke louder than words.
On a recent Saturday night, Japengo was so busy you had to be proactive if you wanted attention. The servers were warm and helpful when eventually flagged down; one waitress earned big points for recommending a less expensive Happy Hawk sake over the pricier Haiku. Served cold, the Happy Hawk went down like butter but gave a superior buzz.
Japengo's décor is open and sparse. There's jazz as likely as Journey on the speakers, football on the tube behind the sushi bar and geisha prints on the wall. It's a no-nonsense place to eat generous portions of creative, daring and deliciously irreverent Japanese fusion—though purists may cringe.
Consider the "monkey ball," sliced and deep-fried wads of spicy tuna capped with mushrooms. The slices were laid on a bed of greens, topped with little piles of black caviar and sliced scallion, and drizzled with a sesame sauce. This ball was badass.
On a Wednesday evening near close, when I had the whole restaurant to myself (a situation I highly recommend), I had the immense pleasure of trying the Viagra salad, which contained a truly insane amount of fish, mostly tuna and salmon. (The sweet, vinegary seafood sunomono comes with a pile of octopus and squid. But if you're more into the fishy side of the ocean, stick with the Viagra.) It was tossed with a large pile of mesclun greens and sweet-and-spicy Viagra sauce. As I kept finding more pieces of fish below the leaves, $8.95 seemed more like the wholesale price. Mildly concerned about the dish's name, I inquired to the sushi chef whether the salad would create an awkward moment when I stood up. "We only use real Viagra on the weekends," he said.
The sushi bar seemed more consistent than the kitchen, despite the impressive monkey ball. A large piece of grilled mackerel was awesome, oily and juicy in a soy-based sauce, and I appreciated the unexpected tempura that accompanied it on the plate. But the tempura was too crunchy—what should have been a delicate crisp was more like the coating on fried chicken.
During my chaotic Saturday night visit, the sushi chefs did an admirable job handling drive-by orders of the rushing waitstaff. Their most visually striking creation was a riceless New Yorker roll of tuna, krab, red snapper, pickled gourd, tobiko roe and avocado, wrapped with a skin of thin-sliced cucumbers. The New Mexico roll proved, yet again, that green chile goes well with almost anything (in this case, salmon, avocado, cucumber and krab). But along those lines, the Japengo roll—green chile tempura, real crab, tuna and cucumber with a sweet red chile sauce—was even better. More props to the sushi department for serving naturally hued pickled ginger (rather than artificially dyed pink) and giving you as much as you want.
The spicy scallop hand roll didn't surprise or disappoint. If you like scallop hand rolls, you'll be happy. But if you're looking for the creative flair that characterizes Japengo, look elsewhere.
Hardcore Japanese foodies will certainly be able to spot holes in Japengo's game. But what it may lack in polished traditional sophistication, Japengo makes up for with its relaxed, generous and fun approach to good food.
The Alibi recommends:
• New Yorker roll
• Monkey ball
• Viagra salad
• Japengo roll

Horoscopes for week of September 2, 2004
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Aries? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
After consulting with my think tank, I've decided to temporarily decommission the bull as your power animal. Until the equinox, the rabbit will take its place. It's the only creature that makes symbolic sense for you right now, when both your libido and fertility are turned up to record levels. There's also another reason why the rabbit suits you. In many mythic traditions, the creature is regarded as a crafty trickster that uses playful stratagems to turn every situation to its advantage. This approach should be your modus operandi in the coming weeks.
Where do you want to go in the coming week, Taurus? Who do you want to be? For more clues, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Historians estimate that at least 25 percent of all the gold ever mined lies at the bottom of the oceans, stuck inside ships that have sunk. Similarly, Jungian psychologists believe that in the depths of our psyches, there are great treasures moldering away, unclaimed by our conscious egos. For you Geminis, this September is the diving season - the time when you're most likely to be successful if you descend into the murky abyss and try to retrieve those lost riches.
Life will bring you entertaining revelations in the coming week, Gemini. To explore even deeper, dive into your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft has been flying around the planet Saturn recently. Reporting on its explorations, a story in USA Today had the headline, "Saturn Offers More Mystery, Less Certainty." I photocopied it and sent it to my astrological colleagues, many of whom suffer from a misguided certainty about Saturn's meaning. They dogmatically insist it's a harbinger of contraction and limitation--an oppressive tyrant sucking the fun out of life. But my research suggests the real story is more complex. Saturn can actually be a benevolent guide that pushes you to be more true to yourself. It helps you shed mediocre pleasures and trivial goals that distract you from your high-priority dreams. It forces you to be ruthlessly honest about what's most important to you. I wanted you to know these fun facts, Cancerian, since the ringed planet is in your sign, and will remain there, nudging you to develop the discipline that leads to more freedom, until July, 2005.
Want more clues, Cancerian? Need further insight? I discuss your coming week in greater depth in your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In 1810, an inventor in London originated the technique of sealing food in tin cans to keep it fresh. His idea came into wide use in 1846, when companies began to mass-produce food in cans. But there was no such thing as a can opener until 1858. For 12 years, then, consumers had to make awkward use of hammers and chisels to liberate their food from the new-fangled containers. This story line is an apt metaphor for your current situation, Leo. Some time ago, you got hold of a potentially valuable resource, but you have yet to discover how to make it work for you in the best possible way. The coming weeks should change that, though. I bet you'll finally find or create your equivalent of the can opener.
Need a few more whacks applied to your mental blocks in the coming week, Leo? A few more caresses administered to your growing edge? Cruise on over to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In Greek mythology, Narcissus was the gorgeous demigod who had no desire for intimate relationships but fell desperately in love with his own reflection. From his name comes the word "narcissist," which refers to a person who is excessively self-involved, has an inflated sense of importance, and compulsively craves admiration. I've always suspected that Virgos are the least narcissistic sign in the zodiac. Many of you underestimate your self-worth and don't treat yourself with enough loving kindness. In fact, I sometimes get a mischievous urge to advise you to be *more* of a narcissist - like now, for instance. Here's an experiment I wish you would do: Spend 20 minutes in front of a mirror telling yourself how beautiful you are.
Got enough clues to chew on for a while, Virgo? If you need more, give yourself the luxury of your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
Libran author William Faulkner (1897-1962) regarded his book, The Sound and the Fury, as his "most splendid failure." For a long time, the public didn't do much to dissuade him from that view. The book sold just 3,300 copies in the 15 years after it was published, and by that time most of Faulkner's other books were out of print. I believe the current state of your fate has some resemblances to that time in his life. On the other hand, your destiny in the next 12 months will have more in common with what happened for Faulkner in 1949, when he won the Nobel Prize for Literature, and sales began to pick up. Just as *The Sound and the Fury* had much to do with his award, I believe one of your own "splendid failures" will be a key to the renaissance you'll enjoy.
Want to explore the coming week even further, Libra? Dig deeper? Feel stronger? Consider tuning in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
In reviewing the film, "Catwoman," the San Francisco Chronicle's Mick LaSalle coined a phrase that describes a mood many of you Scorpios are now prone to: festive pessimism. Frankly, my dear, I would love to talk you into shedding that state. It may give you an aura of murky intrigue, but it's so much less than what the astrological omens say you could possess. The fact of the matter is that the cosmos wants to bless you with an abundance of emotional riches right now. If you agree to suspend some of your jaded attitudes and cynical ideas, you'll be showered with experiences that will justify a full-blown outbreak of festive optimism.
What greater adventure is there than exploring the enigmas of your unique destiny, Scorpio? For more hints about the week ahead, listen to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
Soon the stakes will be higher, the rewards greater, and the judges tougher. You'll have a chance to show who you really are in a bigger, bolder way, and that will be exhilarating. But you'll also be expected to show who you really are in a bigger, bolder way, which could be daunting. The key to success is for you to concentrate so hard on the fun parts of the challenge that you'll render the scary parts irrelevant.
How much do you want to know about your destiny in the coming week, Sagittarius? How far do you dare to go? For more insight into your shimmering, undulating fate, tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope for the coming week. The reading costs $6.
Between North and South Korea is a long, narrow strip of land called the DMZ. Designed to be a buffer zone where all human activity is prohibited, it has accidentally become a nature preserve beloved by white-naped cranes. The area is a paradise for the birds because it has an abundance of undisturbed marshland and is free of predators. Luckily, the cranes are so lightweight that they're in no danger of detonating the many land mines buried throughout the 370-square-mile area. Everything I just described is an apt metaphor for a situation or state of mind that's now available for your use, Capricorn.
No one knows you better than you do, Capricorn. But maybe you'll be inspired to dig up even more self-knowledge in the coming week if you tune in to your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
"If you want to give God a good laugh, tell Him your plans." So says an old Yiddish proverb. While that rule often holds true for most people, I believe you'll be exempt from it in the coming weeks. God is currently very receptive to your schemes, especially if they emphasize your readiness to give more beauty, truth, and love to the world. In fact, the more precisely you formulate an intention to be generous and soulful in everything you do, the more likely it is that the Creator will laugh *with* you, not *at* you, and cheerfully conspire to assist you.
Hungry for more inspiration, Aquarius? Curious about the unfolding mysteries? For more juicy details about your destiny in the coming week, check out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.
"Creativity is allowing yourself to make mistakes," says "Dilbert" cartoonist Scott Adams. "Art is knowing which ones to keep." According to my analysis of the astrological omens, Pisces, August was your time to embody the first part of Adams' formula. During these past few weeks, I hope you gave yourself permission to unleash many fertile booboos. September, on the other hand, should be devoted to carrying out Adams' second proposal. Which of August's missteps might have marked the raw, imperfect appearance of ideas that will eventually turn out to be useful and brilliant?
Your destiny is a gorgeous mystery, Pisces. Your soul is awakening more every day. The secrets of life are ripening right in front of your eyes. For more clues, consider checking out your Expanded Audio Horoscope. The reading costs $6.

People with diabetes should wear or carry I.D. information (such as an alert bracelet) that emergency medical staff can find. They should always carry a sugar source, such as glucose tablets or raisins.
Check for ketones using a simple urine test available at pharmacies. Perform this test every 4 - 6 hours if blood sugar goes above 240, or any time the person with diabetes is sick, unusually thirsty, has a dry mouth, is urinating frequently, or has vomited. Warning signs that ketoacidosis is getting serious:
If these symptoms occur, call the doctor or go to the emergency room right away. If left untreated, this condition will lead to coma and even death.
Low blood sugar can occur in diabetics when they use too much insulin, exercise too much, or have not eaten enough food. It can develop quickly in people with diabetes. Symptoms of low blood sugar typically appear when the sugar level falls below 70. Watch for:
Monitor the person closely. If symptoms become worse -- confusion, seizures, or unconsciousness -- give the person a shot of glucagon. If you don't have glucagon, call 911 immediately.
If you have a blood sugar test kit available, do a blood sugar check. If the level is low, the person with diabetes should eat something with sugar: fruit juice, several teaspoons of sugar, a cup of skim milk, or regular soda. If you don't have a test kit handy, sugar should be eaten anyway -- it can't hurt. Symptoms should subside within 15 minutes. If the symptoms don't subside, more sugar should be eaten and the sugar level tested again.
AFTER the symptoms subside, more substantial food can be eaten. Use simple sugar FIRST to get the situation under control. Real food won't produce enough sugar and takes too long to digest.
Don't panic. Glucagon works very fast -- usually within 15 minutes. While you are waiting for the person to revive, keep him on his side to prevent choking. If the person is not better in 15 minutes, call 911.
Have glucagon stored for emergencies. Make sure everyone in your home, babysitters, and caregivers know how to use it. Periodically remind everyone how to use it. Check the expiration date.

Broad (just)
For people putting Robson how can he play for England when he has already played for Australia U19 team being Australian born.
Broad (just)
For people putting Robson how can he play for England when he has already played for Australia U19 team being Australian born.
now qualified to play for England.
Broad is not and never will be a test match 7. He is a basher who plays the occasionally masterful trolling innings.
I think England being top 7 in the ICC rankings going forward, is a pretty fair assessment.
1. Cook
2. Robson
3. Compton
5. Bell
6. Woakes
7. Stokes
8. Buttler +
9. Borthwick
10. Broad
11. Anderson
Borthwick needs to justify his place for his batting alone if he's going to have a long Test career - at First Class level he takes less than two wickets per match and has only two five-fers - in fairness to him Durham tracks aren't generally conducive to what he does, but whichever way you cut it he's no Shane Warne (although bizarrely his overall strike rate is better than Warne's, and by a distance - I suspect because of the timing of his being brought on to bowl)
England need to decide who their next potential match winning spinner is and then stick with him - to my mind it's obviously Kegga - he's got 11 five-fers and twice taken 10 in a match in fewer outings than Borthwick has had - he has had more favourable wickets to bowl on, but then until last season he had to share those with Keeds, who was day in day out one of the best spinners in the country, yet Kegga often outbowled him
It's ridiculous to suggest that after one lousy outing a bowler with Kegga's talent should be discarded and if England do do that then Flower and the selectors need to be put up against a wall and shot, not just sacked
cbf writing up the same post I did ages ago but the gist is the stars aligned for what was always a potentially good team and they beat the crap out of a side where everything that could go wrong did go wrong. Don't panic.
Prior is still easily the best option England have and since recall has been the best wicket keeper batsman in the world. He's had a crap 6 months, but many do. Keep the faith.
I wouldn't change much. I'd be wary of dropping Carberry since he wasn't an improvement on the much maligned but statistically competent Compton, who was shunted fairly quickly once everyone realised he was no Compton snr but just a solid and uninspiring batsman. I've never seen Robson play so I have no idea how good he is but don't make a similar mistake with Carberry. Sometimes you just need to settle, like South Africa have with Alviro.
You guys also need to decide where Root plays. IMO batting number three for England as a young man isn't the most trying job in the world, though it is tough. Still, Bravo and Williamson bat at three for teams which have had even less stability from the openers than England does now at times. With Stokes succeeding down the order there isn't really room to play Root as the sheltered rookie anymore and he has opened in CC hasn't he? Bat him at three and see what he is made of.
Proudly supporting Central Districts
RIP Craig Walsh
The thing about Prior is that all his struggles have been against the one team. Or was his home series against NZ no good either?
If I was picking an XI for a game that started tomorrow. I'd go with:
Buttler +
Lot of rebuilding to do for England. I wasn't too keen on dropping too many players, but the 5th Test was embarrassing. Bairstow definitely has to go and I'd replace him with Buttler, until Prior goes away and scores runs for Sussex Buttler's the best shout, Root needs big runs for Yorks to even be considered, Carbs needs to go away and pile on the runs, I'd go for Taylor ahead of Ballance, and then I think Kerrigan should be given another go. Had a shocker in his first Test, but is a better bowling option than Borthwick or Dockrell right now for me.

Will say this once and then nothing else. Defamation laws quite clear in Aus.be careful.
Only 2 Tests though. Masterful away to them. Think he went into the Ashes slightly out of nick after that NZ series, and then having the same opponent thereafter has really worked him over.
I'd have him back against Sri Lanka unless he fails miserably early season for Sussex.

Wouldn't be against that. 6,7 and 8 being Woakes, Stokes and keeper in whatever order they choose.
Might be the right time to go back to making side tough to beat by having long batting line up like they did when Swann and Broad first started.

BELMONT, Calif., Nov. 29, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SunEdison, a leading worldwide solar energy services provider and a subsidiary of MEMC Electronic Materials (NYSE: WFR), today announced a new 25 year Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) to deliver 20 megawatts (MW) to Riverside Public Utilities (RPU), the municipal electric utility of the City of Riverside, California.
SunEdison will construct the 20 MW North Lake I Solar plant on previously disturbed land owned by the Metropolitan Water District near the Diamond Valley Lake reservoir in western Riverside County. The project is expected to deliver renewable energy and reduce the need for costly transmission upgrades due to its proximity to load centers, including the RPU service territory.
"SunEdison's industry expertise and proven track-record give us great confidence that the project will be delivered on-time to help meet our renewable energy targets," said David H. Wright, RPU General Manager. "Our partnership with SunEdison will enable us to deliver clean energy to our citizens at cost-effective rates while also enhancing reliability with peak-producing power. Riverside is an environmental leader among municipal utilities, and this contract builds upon our environmental stewardship."
Riverside is among the first of California's municipal utilities to enter into a utility-scale solar contract of this size. Under Senate Bill X 1-2, California extended its Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) program goal to 33% and included publicly-owned utilities (POUs) such as Riverside.
"We are very excited to be working with the City of Riverside on this project and consider them a progressive leader among municipal utilities in the adoption of renewable energy," said Tim Derrick, General Manager of North America for SunEdison. "We are looking forward to a strong relationship with Riverside as we complete development and delivery of the North Lake solar project." SunEdison plans to begin construction on the project in 2014 and begin delivering power in 2015.
In addition to the contract from RPU, SunEdison also was awarded 3 PPAs totalling 48 MW by Southern California Edison (SCE) and one 18.5 MW PPA by San Diego Gas and Electric (SDG&E) under the Renewable Auction Mechanism (RAM) program. The California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC) approved the SCE contracts effective October 31, 2012 and is currently reviewing the SDG&E contract. The RAM program requires that projects start operating 24 months after CPUC approval.

PANAMA CITY, Panama (Reuters) - Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees returned to Panama for the first time in 67 years on Saturday, offering one final goodbye to Mariano Rivera and bringing the career of the game's greatest closer full circle.
Back where it all began, Rivera, who retired at the end of last season with a record 652 career saves, threw a ceremonial pitch to launch a two-day tribute for the man fans know simply as "Mo".
The Yankees are playing two spring training games against the Miami Marlins this weekend.
Appearing from the outfield darkness on Saturday, Rivera walked to the mound as he had done 952 times as baseball's most feared closer, with Metallica's 'Sandman' thumping over the loud speakers and the capacity crowd on their feet cheering.
Since the Yankees arrived in Panama on Thursday, Rivera has worn many caps, MLB and Panamanian ambassador, master of ceremonies, host of a charity fund-raising dinner one evening and tour guide another morning, taking his former team mates on a visit to the Panama Canal.
"I think for Mo it has been really special," said Yankees manager Joe Girardi. "To bring any Major League team to your home town it would be special for anyone.
"But what baseball has meant to Mo and the country of Panama and all he has given back, this is special.
"He will never forget this. I know he wants this to continue and to go on every year."
The Yankees had, in fact, planned to kick off Rivera's retirement party in Panama last season but could not secure the necessary agreements.
The delay, however, only seems to have strengthened the bond between Rivera and his homeland.
Now out of Major League Baseball, Rivera has focused a great deal of his energy on giving back to Panama, the two-game Legend Series the realization of a personal dream and gift to fans.
Not since 1947 when the Yankees played the Dodgers has MLB made an appearance in baseball-crazy Panama and the Yankees brought along many of their top players for the occasion, including captain Derek Jeter, pitcher C.C. Sabathia, slugger Carlos Beltran and Alfonso Soriano.
"It's always great to see Mo, I grew up with him," said Jeter, who is preparing to launch his farewell parade having announced earlier that this season will be his last.
"I'm well aware of that (what Rivera means to Panama), I've been around town the last couple of times I was here and you think of Panamanian baseball the person who comes to mind is Mo and people here appreciate him for that."
Rod Carew Stadium, named after another beloved Panamanian Major Leaguer, was built in 1999 and is already shows signs of rough life.
Garbage rolls like tumbleweeds across the dusty hills beyond the outfield fence while an unfinished apartment building looks down from above.
Yet this too, believes Rivera, could be a field of dreams for young Panamanians wanting to follow him to MLB.
"I hope these games can help youth of Panama and motivate them by seeing professionals play," Rivera told MLB.com. "They need to study, of course, but also do sports, and stay out of the streets.
"Baseball is not easy, but it's a beautiful sport and I know this is going to be something spectacular.
"I hope the country takes advantage of it and enjoys something we have not seen in years."

MIDLAND CITY, Alabama (Reuters) - Bomb technicians searched for explosive devices Wednesday after two were found at the rural Alabama property where a man, who had held a young boy hostage in an underground bunker for nearly a week, was killed in a firefight with authorities Monday.
Investigators dismantled two explosive devices that were found Tuesday at the scene near Midland City in southeast Alabama, the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) said.
One device was inside the bunker where Jimmy Lee Dykes, 65, had holed up for nearly a week with a 5-year-old boy he had randomly snatched off a school bus after killing the driver. The second device was in a plastic pipe Dykes had asked negotiators to use to communicate with him during the standoff.
No additional devices were spotted during the sweep that resumed on Wednesday, FBI agents said.
FBI agents stormed the homemade bunker and shot and killed Dykes on Monday after surveillance equipment showed him wielding a gun and looking agitated, law enforcement sources said. The boy was rescued unharmed.
A preliminary investigation indicated Dykes "engaged in a firefight" with SWAT team members who entered the bunker, the FBI said in a statement late Tuesday.
Dykes appeared to have reinforced the bunker to thwart entry attempts by law enforcement, agents said, without revealing further details.
The drama came against a backdrop of a heated debate about gun violence and school safety across the United States, following the shooting deaths of 20 children and six adults in December by a gunman who had forced his way into a Connecticut elementary school.
The rescued Alabama boy, identified only as Ethan, turned 6 on Wednesday. Relieved residents posted signs around his hometown with messages such as "Happy Birthday Ethan" and "Welcome Home."
An online effort to send Ethan and his family to Disney World in Florida was close to reaching its $7,000 fundraising goal.
"For the first time in almost a week, I woke up this morning to the most beautiful sight ... my sweet boy," the child's mother said on Tuesday in her first public statement about the ordeal. "I can't describe how incredible it is to hold him again."
"My family and I ask that you respect our privacy and give us a little time - time to heal, time to put this nightmare behind us, time to move forward," said the mother, who was not named.
Dykes, a retired trucker who served in the Navy during the Vietnam War era, had been due to appear in court last week to face a menacing charge involving one of his neighbors.
On the eve of his trial before a judge, Dykes boarded a school bus carrying more than 20 children home and demanded that the driver let a student off the bus, according to authorities.
When the driver, Charles Albert Poland, 66, refused, Dykes shot him four times with a 9 mm handgun, killing Poland, and fled with Ethan, officials said.

Assad Warns France Against Military Strikes
Syrian president threatens negative fallout on French interests in the event of intervention
PARIS—Syrian President Bashar al-Assad on Monday warned France of potential negative fallout on French interests in the event of a military intervention in Syria. He also said France and the U.S. have failed to show evidence that his army carried out an attack with chemical weapons.
In an interview with French newspaper Le Figaro, Mr. Assad said military strikes in Syria would have terrible consequences in the region and would put the Middle Eastern "powder keg" on fire. "Everybody will lose control of the situation...

In his second game back from a wrist injury, Bradley Beal posted a career-high with 28 points and the Washington Wizards notched their first four-game winning streak of the season with a 102-90 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Monday.
Beal got plenty of help, however, as John Wall, Emeka Okafor and Nene each contributed double-doubles to the Wizards' fourth straight win over a playoff caliber team.
Wall had 14 points to go with 10 assists and Okafor tallied 12 points and 10 rebounds. Nene followed Beal's scoring effort with 21 points in addition to recording 13 rebounds and six assists.
The Bucks, now losers of four in a row and six of their last seven, had trouble shooting the basketball, converting just 37.9 percent of their attempts.
"We had a bunch of good looks and we couldn't make them," Bucks head coach Jim Boylan said. "Our defense was terrible, and our inability to make our open shots gave them a comfort and they took advantage of it."
Monta Ellis finished with 24 points, eight assists, seven rebounds and six steals in the setback.
After falling behind by as many as 10 in the first, the Wizards took the lead late in the second and never gave it back.
Beal broke the 44-44 tie in second with a triple and then followed with a layup soon after to push the Wizards' lead to 49-45. He scored 16 of his points in the first half alone.
"My teammates did a great job finding me," Beal said. "I was just so happy to be open tonight."
Washington led by as many as 10 in the third before the Bucks reduced their deficit to 70-68 late in the quarter.
Ellis hit a pair of jumpers around a Mike Dunleavy triple during an 8-0 Milwaukee run, but Wall knocked down a fadeway and added two free throws before quarter's end to help Washington keep a 74-71 lead heading into the fourth.
Beal hit his fourth triple of the contest to begin the final period and the Wizards' advantage expanded to nine following scores from Kevin Seraphin and Trevor Ariza.
A 6-0 run brought the Bucks as close as they would get at 81-78, but Nene scored five straight points, with his three-point play igniting an 11-2 run to put Milwaukee away for good.
Game Notes
The Wizards earned just their fourth road victory of the season. They have lost 21 times away from home in 2012-13 ... Washington hasn't allowed 100 points in a game since Jan. 25 ... Milwaukee's Larry Sanders missed his third straight game with a lower back contusion ... Washington ended a four-game losing streak in Milwaukee.

CONCEPCION, Chile (AP) — While the earth shook in the middle of the night, a terrified Alberto Rozas dashed to the bathroom with his 7-year-old daughter in his arms and embraced her inside the bathtub, shielding her with his body from one of the biggest quakes in recorded history.
The building began to cave in. It hit another structure like a domino piece and then, with a deafening sound, it broke in half.
Only a few minutes had passed, but it seemed much longer as the 8.8-magnitude earthquake battered Chile on Feb. 27, 2010. Concrete chunks, metal bars and shattered glass cut Rozas' back. His daughter, Fernanda, suffered only a scratch.
"I left the building with the feeling that I no longer owned anything in life, but I was grateful because my daughter and I were alive," said Rozas, a computer engineer who is now 44. "From there on, I started seeing life a different way, without attaching myself to material goods."
His physical wounds quickly healed, and he's mostly shaken off the psychological trauma while getting his life back together. Recently divorced before the quake, he has a new wife and is expecting a child early in March, and he has bought a new home.
Others have also recovered from the quake and accompanying tsunami that killed 521 people and destroyed more than 220,000 homes. But many people are still suffering three years later waiting for housing — a state of affairs that is becoming an issue in November's presidential election.
President Sebastian Pinera began his term a few days after the quake, and he's touring the hard-hit zone around Concepcion to showcase the progress of reconstruction under his leadership.
On Wednesday, in the coastal city of Constitucion, he inaugurated a housing complex where eight people died in the quake. Bells tolled at 3:34 a.m. to commemorate the disaster and Pinera attended a candlelight vigil.
Pinera's government is trying to use the disaster to undercut the high popularity of Michelle Bachelet, who was president at the time of the quake and is widely expected to run in the election.
Pinera's administration says her government failed to alert the coastal population about the tsunami that caused havoc up and down the coast, wiping out cities like Concepcion, which is 300 miles (500 kilometers) from Chile's capital, Santiago.
But Pinera's foes are also making the quake's aftermath an issue.
While Pinera says reconstruction from the $30 billion in damages is 90 percent complete, his critics say that the real figure is closer to 60 percent and that life has not improved for many victims.
"Reconstruction is much more than building a house; it's the restitution of productive basis for work," said Nicolas Valenzuela of Reconstruye, a humanitarian group. "What good is having a place to live if you don't have a job?"
With thousands more homes still needed, hundreds of families will have to endure a fourth Chilean winter in wooden shacks, Valenzuela said.
The emotional impact is harder to quantify, though no less real.
Eight of the 79 residents in Rozas' old apartment building died when it crumpled. He suffered a long period of trauma. He couldn't sleep, he lost weight, and even today he tries to stay away from tall buildings.
Friends and family pitched in with food and shelter. His doctor prescribed sleeping pills to ease his panicky feelings at night.
Gradually, Rozas recovered. He no longer needs medicine to sleep, and is more at peace — although he stresses he's still anxious about the possibility of another quake.
Speaking about his new two-story home, he said: "I live on the first floor. The second, I just visit it."
Rozas says he shrugged off the loss of his possessions, including the mostly brand new furniture that he had put in the apartment he lived in for just two months before the quake.
Yet, it was a material object that aided his recovery — a 1993 Honda Integra LS that he bought only weeks before the earth heaved.
It was in the parking garage under the rubble of his apartment building. But Rozas' gut told him the vehicle survived somehow, and then a police officer called to tell him the car was in good shape.
"I knew it would be difficult to recover it because it was in an underground parking lot," Rozas said.
He persuaded authorities to let him inside the garage, where he photographed the car. "I broke down. My Honda was right where I left it."
A friend who is a civil engineer helped with plans to dig the car out, which officials approved. A company donated machinery and workers, and Rozas took a week off from work for the recovery effort.
He said the struggle was repaid when he was able to drive his prized car into the street.
"It was impeccable and I keep it that way," he said. "It's my pampered one. My daughter and I call it 'my jewel.'"

The U.S. economy will continue to see sluggish growth this year but the expansion should see a "substantial acceleration" in 2014, according to Goldman Sachs' (NYSE:GS) chief U.S. economist.
Continue Reading Below
In a note to clients released Sunday, Jan Hatzius also said any risk that the economic recovery will regress has diminished because Congressional Republicans are no longer using the debt ceiling as leverage to force additional spending cuts.
"Our baseline forecast remains unchanged -- slow growth in most of 2013 as tax increases and government spending cuts offset the private sector improvement, followed by a substantial acceleration in 2014 as fiscal policy turns more neutral," Hatzius wrote.
Downside risks looking ahead have decreased because economic data has so far shown that the economy is holding up well despite $200 billion in tax increases agreed to early this year by Congress as part of a compromise that ended the threat of the so-called "fiscal cliff."
The "more important reason" for the decreased risk of another economic downturn is that "Republicans in Congress seem to have given up on the idea of using the debt ceiling to force additional spending cuts," Hatzius added.
Consequently, the chances are slim that the overall fiscal drag predicted by Goldman for 2013 will be much larger than the 1½-2 percentage points the bank had assumed and, what's more, that this drag will push the U.S. back into recession.
Elsewhere in the report, Hatzius notes that another economic concern is that the Federal Reserve's easy money policies -- namely its bond buying programs known as quantitative easing -- could lead to another credit bubble. Fed Governor Jeremy Stein is named in the report as a Fed policy maker who is concerned with this topic.
Hatzius said his view is more "benign" than Stein's. First, Hatzius makes the case that asset valuations are not "excessively high on a broad basis."
"The one asset that is very highly valued relative to history is Treasuries, but we see good reasons -- lots of slack, low inflation, and not least the Fed's ability to intervene if needed -- why this should change only gradually," he said.
Second, the financial system is "far less" leveraged than it was before the financial crisis, according to Hatzius, meaning the system is less likely to see the domino effect that dried up lending in late 2007 and 2008 when some banks were unable to cover their debts.
Finally, the U.S. private sector is "much less reliant on credit to finance spending," said Hatzius, a point that has reduced the likelihood of another credit bubble.

Ranmaru possessed a dōjutsu kekkei genkai which, when activated, causes his eyes to glow red in colour. It grants him abilities such as penetrative vision as well as the ability to hinder other dōjutsu such as the Byakugan which his own dōjutsu has been likened to.
Overview Edit
This dōjutsu grants the wielder many abilities that include penetrating vision, disruption of other dōjutsu, and unique healing through life-force energy manipulation.
With his kekkei genkai, Ranmaru has the ability to see and hear things from long distances. With this ability, Ranmaru was able penetrate the walls of his shack to view the outside world. Although the range of his kekkei genkai is similar to the range of the Byakugan, it actually has the ability to counter and negate that trait. His abilities also allow him to perform irresistible genjutsu, which can fool even the all-seeing Byakugan. Ranmaru's vision also lets him locate and track others by sensing chakra, picking up chakra from long distances, and noticing changes in an individual's chakra. It is also able to sense how many individuals are present.
Ranmaru's vision has heightened perception and analytical powers like the Sharingan, meaning Ranmaru can comprehend any details he sees, which he uses to predict the opponent's next move in conjunction with Raiga. When first encountering Raiga, Ranmaru was able to read his thoughts and determine what was ailing him. He can also see one's life force, allowing him to determine that Raiga, who had recently fallen in battle, was still alive. In addition to this, Ranmaru is able transfer part of his own life force to completely heal someone who is mostly dead.

POV: The opportunity for big brands on LinkedIn
In the Critical Mass social team's latest POV, the team has put together an insightful and useful document outlining the opportunity for big brands on LinkedIn as the "professional social network" continues to introduce new functionality for company pages, an evolving paid ecosystem and a useful API.
If you've looked past LinkedIn to focus on Facebook and Twitter over the years (like I had), this POV will give you an up-to-date perspective on how to approach LinkedIn for your brand and give you the roadmap to explore the space and build a strategy that makes sense.
As always, feedback and alternate viewpoints are welcome.
Coincinding with this whitepaper, Critical Mass will be hosting a panel discussion with LinkedIn as part of Social Media Week in Chicago on September 23. As of writing, there are still a few spots left for this session featuring CM's Daniel Honigman and LinkedIn's Ryan Walker.

My research focuses on questions in microeconomics, with a particular emphasis on the use of experimental methods to address both positive and normative issues. Much of my time has been spent developing experimental methods in the field.
My general research strategy is to take advantage of settings where interesting economic phenomena naturally present themselves. In most cases nature does not properly randomize agents into interesting control and treatment groups, so my chore is to develop markets/constructs/experimental designs wherein subjects are randomized into treatments of interest. In this light, I view field experiments as representing a unique manner in which to obtain data because they force the researcher to understand everyday phenomena, many of which we stumble upon frequently. Merely grasping the interrelationships of factors in field settings is not enough, however, as the field experimenter must then seek to understand more distant phenomena that have the same underlying structure. Until this is achieved, one cannot reap the true rewards of field experimentation.
I have made use of several different markets to obtain data in my field experiments, including a myriad of charitable fundraising activities, the Chicago Board of Trade, Costa Rican CEOs, the new automobile market, sports memorabilia markets, coin markets, auto repair markets, open air markets located everywhere - from the US to Morocco to India-various venues on the internet, several auction settings, shopping malls, various labor markets, and grammar and high schools.
More recently, I have been engaged in a series of field experiments with various publicly traded corporations-from car manufacturers to travel companies. I view this as exciting because I can put economic theories/approaches on the line in markets economists concern themselves with; results thus far have been above expectations, as successful field experiments yielding quite interesting data patterns have been generated. The companies have loved the field experiments too, since they have made some cash (note that my payment is not money, but the data - a few papers are very close for public distribution).
Overall, the data that I have collected have provided insights into pricing behavior, discrimination in the marketplace, the valuation of nonmarketed goods and services, public good provisioning, behavioral anomalies, charitable giving, auction theory, and the role of the market in the development of rationality.
Methodologically, I have spent time thinking about whether laboratory behavior is a good indicator of behavior in the field, and whether, and to what extent, markets and/or market experience affect the size and extent of behavioral anomalies observed in lab experiments. In some cases, the increase in knowledge due to field experiments has overturned verdicts of yesterday. In others, the findings have reinforced the literature that has drawn inference from either lab or naturally-occurring data.
In this manner, I view field experiments as representing a bridge between the lab and naturally-occurring data. Please visit my website for a clearinghouse of field experiments that help shape this bridge:

There's a New Neighbor on Sesame Street!
It's a wonderful day, and not just cause the sun is shining on Sesame Street. It's a wonderful day because this morning we learned a new friend was moving in to the neighborhood. Armando, or "Mando" as the gang on Sesame Street has nicknamed him, is join the cast on the upcoming 44th season.
Played by actor Ismael Cruz Córdova, Mando is part of Sesame's increased focus on engaging with and educating children in the Hispanic community in the United States. The show is constantly evolving and has a long-standing history of modeling a diverse community. As producers were identifying the realities of the changing American population, it was important to represent that diversity in the new addition to the cast. "Armando," a writer from Puerto Rico, will join Maria (played by Sonia Manzano), Luis (Emilio Delgado) and Muppets™ Rosita and Ovejita (Carmen Osbahr) as part of Sesame Street's bilingual community.
To learn more about Mando and his new home on Sesame Street, check out the video above.

PLEASE help me. I am desperate. For the past three days I have been breastfeeding my baby more than normal. We basically went on a breastfeeding vacation that I read about to increase supply. I breastfed rather than pumped. I didn't pump at all for three days but again was breastfeeding like crazy. This last feeding, I DID NOT breastfeed and supplemented with formula. Afterwards I tried to pump. Nothing came out hardly at all. This means my supply has dropped considerably from breastfeeding. I hadn't fed in about 2 hours, maybe closer to 3. Can breastfeeding instead of pumping lower supply? There is WAY more to my story. I hope it is okay but instead of going into all of it-can I put the posts where I wrote about it on my blog-and then check back here for advice on what to do? I am so desperate for help. I worked so hard these past 7 weeks for now my supply to disappear...
Here's background about my struggle-

Russian Imperial, dry, sweet, milk, American, oatmeal: whichever it is, it's the beautiful stout. A direct descendant of the porter, it got its moniker because it was a stronger, roastier version of its mother beer--a "stout" porter, if you will. Over the years the "porter" was dropped from the name and various transformations took place in accordance with the local tastes and availability of ingredients leaving us with a wide array of this beautiful dark beer.
The dry Irish version, thanks to the likes of Guinness, is the most famous and many breweries around the world brew their own interpretation. The English stout from a brewery like St. Austell tends to be more sweet, especially in terms of the milk stout which has a rounder, sweeter quality. Conversely, the American type is considerably more bold with a lot more hop and roast character; Tiny Rebel's got a good example. Yet, the granddaddy of them all is the Russian Imperial Stout--De Molen is famous for their Rasputin and Northern Monk has got a great one to try--big, brazen, and massively intense; bring a friend if you intend to overindulge!

Dog saves lives, but dies in Manchester fireBy TIM BUCKLAND
New Hampshire Union Leader
November 22. 2012 6:19PM
MANCHESTER - Mason, a 9-year-old Italian mastiff, died Thursday after saving the lives of the owners of a Sheffield Road home that caught fire early Thursday, District Fire Chief Michael Gamache said.
"We're all pretty heartbroken," said Brooke Boudakian, whose father, Charles, owns the 475 Sheffield Road home that was destroyed Thanksgiving morning. "She was very loved. It was a pretty heroic thing that she did."
A cat also died in the blaze, which destroyed a garage before spreading to the home about 4 a.m. Thursday, Gamache said.
Gamache said the Fire Department has special breathing masks for animals that were donated by the company O2 Fur Life. The animals were found lying next to each other, he said.
"The animals were given oxygen and first aid on the front lawn, unfortunately both animals did not survive," Gamache said. "The pet dog who perished was credited with awakening the occupants of the home, in essence saving their lives."
Brooke Boudakian said she was 11 years old when her family brought Mason, who was one of 13 puppies in her litter, home in 2003.
"She loved playing outside with her toys. She also loved sleeping and loved going for rides," she said.
"She was an awesome dog. She was very protective, and she saved my dad's life," she said.
Gamache said Charles Boudakian and Rhonda LaFleur, the home's other occupant, tried to extinguish the blaze and called 911. They were not injured in the fire, he said.
The fire, which went undetected until Mason woke the occupants, "made significant headway into the home before enough resources arrived to stop the fire's forward progress into the home," Gamache said.
He said the fire is not considered suspicious and that fire officials are "looking at a wood stove" as a possible cause, though no cause for the fire has yet been determined.

The adolescent Christopher and his soul mate Toni had sneered at the stifling ennui of Metroland, their cosy patch of suburbia on the Metropolitan line. They had longed for Life to begin - meaning Sex and Freedom - to travel and choose their own clothes.
Then Chris, at thirty, starts to settle comfortably into bourgeois contentment himself. Luckily, Toni is still around to challenge such backsliding.

Gosh I love Julian Barnes
Yes, I've been living under a rock—I only recently discovered Barnes through his most recent novel, "The Sense of an Ending" (2011). I couldn't wait to dig into his back catalogue, and thought a sensible place to start would be the very beginning i.e. "Metroland".
Thematically, Barnes doesn't seem to have strayed too far from his sweetspot over his 31 year career… my review for "Sense" noted themes of "memory, remorse, history, philosophy, secrets and lies" and this could literally be copy-pasted into my review of "Metroland" without arousing suspicion.
For my money, "Metroland" was more of a slowburner—a little sluggish to get moving but deeply satisfying by the end. It was profoundly uncomfortable to recognise some cringey parts of myself in Chris. But even more so to recognise bits of me in the incredibly prickly Toni.
Now that I've experienced Barnes' bookend novels, I've concluded his true gift is in creating mundane and disappointed worlds with overt lack of sympathy that—somewhat paradoxically—leaves the reader with a sense of gentle optimism. Not a small feat.
Can't wait to throw myself into "Flaubert's Parrot".
As for this specific audioversion, Greg Wise is fantastic and sublime.
