Associated Press | Last updated March 17, 2013
Adam Rosales hit two-run homers in the seventh and eighth innings, and the Oakland Athletics beat a Chicago Cubs' split squad 12-6 Sunday. Rosales homered off Jason Berken in the seventh for an 8-6 lead, then homered against Steve Perakilis to drive in the final two runs. Chris Young hit a three-run homer in the first off Scott Baker, making his first start since elbow ligament-replacement surgery while with Minnesota last April 17. Baker got one out and gave up three hits and two walks. Josh Donaldson had a three-run homer in the third against Cory Wade. Chicago's Dave Sappelt had a solo homer in the second off Tommy Milone, who allowed four runs and eight hits in 4 2-3 innings. Brent Lillibridge added a two-run homer in the sixth against Hideki Okajima, tying the score 6-6.

4 Ways to Take a Detox Bath
Epsom salts cause you to sweat, which is the central purpose of a detox bath. Drugs, toxins and poisons in your body will escape through the pores in your skin. Pour one cup of Epsom salts under the tap as you draw a very hot bath. You want the water to be somewhere between 95 and 100 degrees F. Soak in it for about 20 to 30 minutes, though you shouldn't soak any longer than that. As the water cools, the toxins will be sweated out of your skin. Check with your doctor first if you have diabetes or high blood pressure, since a detox bath might not be safe for you. Also, be sure to drink lots of water during and after the bath, to replenish the liquids you've sweated out.

Rain brings hope to drought-stricken Western Canada
By Rod Nickel
SASKATOON, Saskatchewan (Reuters) - A soaking rain Sunday has raised hopes of saving the new crop in the Western Canadian province of Saskatchewan, but it largely missed the severely dry areas of neighboring Alberta.
"It's almost gone from a dust bowl to a mud bowl (in places)," said David Phillips, senior climatologist for Environment Canada. "It's like a rainbow for growers and ranchers."
The rainbow halts, however, at the provincial boundary between Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Rainfall amounts ranged Sunday from 35.5 millimeters (1.4 inches) in the Saskatchewan city of Saskatoon to 25.2 millimeters (1 inch) further west in Kindersley, Saskatchewan. But it trickled down in Alberta to 11 millimeters in Medicine Hat and just 2 to 3 millimeters in Red Deer and Coronation.
Most crops are behind in development because of the driest spring in 50 years in Western Canada's wheat and canola growing region, combined with earlier cool temperatures. Canada is the world's top exporter of canola, a variant of rapeseed, and one of the biggest shippers of wheat.
Ranchers have also been facing higher feed costs with poor growth of pasture and hay land.
For west-central Saskatchewan, Sunday's rain was a crop-saver for plants already established, said Bruce Burnett, director of weather and market analysis for the Canadian Wheat Board.
"If we didn't receive this it was not going to get to anything," Burnett said. Those fields have likely still suffered yield damage and will need more rain to keep the crop growing, he said. Continued...

Like other refugees before them, those fleeing Drvar were mainly women, elderly men and children, for few men and teenage boys of fighting age manage these days to escape the press-gangs of the Yugoslav successor states. The Drvar refugees even spoke the same language as all the other unfortunates who, since the outbreak of war in June 1991, had been cast out of their native towns and villages.
But there was one difference. These refugees were Serbs, and the 13,000 people who fled Drvar last week in response to Croat military advances represented the largest single Serb refugee movement of the war. Worse may yet happen. International Red Cross officials said on Friday that if Croatia achieved a decisive victory over Serb rebels in the breakaway Krajina region, as many as 100,000 Serb refugees could flee over the border into Bosnia.
The plight of the Drvar Serbs illustrates how the tide of war has turned this year against the secessionist Serb minorities of Croatia and Bosnia. The Bosnian Serbs' ruthless elimination last month of the Muslim enclaves of Srebrenica and Zepa in eastern Bosnia obscured the extent to which the pan-Serb cause was plunging into crisis.
Nowhere is this more true than in Knin, the fortress capital of the Krajina Serbs in southern Croatia. Once a seemingly impregnable stronghold of mystical Serb nationalism, Knin has finally fallen after taking a terrible battering from Croat missiles and artillery.
"The destruction is heavy, houses are burning, streets are full of glass and debris, and many civilian facilities are hit, including Knin Castle," reported a correspondent for Beta, an independent Belgrade-based news agency.
Contrary to the hopes of Serb militants since 1991, it is looking increasingly as if there will be no Greater Serbian state stretching from the Adriatic Sea to the Romanian border. What is more, President Slobodan Milosevic of Serbia, the patriarch of modern Serb nationalism, is turning all predictions upside down by resisting the lure of that same Greater Serbian dream he conjured into existence in the late 1980s and used as a call to arms in 1991.
Four years of warfare in Croatia and Bosnia have produced almost every possible permutation of alliance among the various nationalities and sub- groups, as well as brutality, betrayal and intrigue on a scale matching that of the civil war in the 1940s. Serbs have fought Croats, Serbs have fought Muslims, and Croats have fought Muslims; Serbs and Croats have schemed against Muslims, Muslims and Croats have joined forces against Serbs, and in one area - Bihac - Serbs and a renegade Muslim warlord have conspired against the Muslim majority.
Suddenly, however, the picture is acquiring greater clarity. The wars are condensing into a struggle between, on one hand, Croatia and the Muslims and Croats of Bosnia, and, on the other, the Serbs of Croatia and Bosnia, lightly supported by Serbia. The aim of Croatia and its allies is to restore the territorial integrity of Croatia and Bosnia, destroyed by the twin Serb rebellions of 1991 and 1992. The aim of the Serbs of Croatia and Bosnia is to preserve their rebel states and, one day, with or without the support of Mr Milosevic, to merge them with Serbia and Montenegro into a Serbian super-state.
Croatia's offensive on Krajina, launched on Friday with artillery, warplanes and tens of thousands of troops, capped a turbulent three months of military clashes and diplomatic showdowns. It was at the end of April that a shaky ceasefire, brokered by former US president Jimmy Carter, expired in Bosnia, touching off heavy fighting between Bosnia's Muslim-led government and the Bosnian Serbs.
Croatia's armed forces seized the opportunity to grab back a section of Krajina, known as Western Slavonia, in central Croatia. They accomplished their mission in 48 hours, stunning the Krajina Serbs and sending a message to everyone in former Yugoslavia that Serb military invincibility was a myth.
Significantly, the Bosnian Serbs extended no help to the Krajina Serbs, even though the two leaderships had signed a pact on military co-operation. Equally, no aid was forthcoming from Serbia, although after the enclave's fall, Mr Milosevic sent a senior general, Mile Mrksic, to take command of Krajina's armies. Cracks in Serb unity were becoming increasingly visible.
World attention then returned to Bosnia, where Nato planes bombed Bosnian Serb ammunition dumps in late May, prompting the Bosnian Serbs to seize several hundred UN peace-keepers as hostages. Although all hostages were eventually freed, the episode underlined that Nato's freedom of action was limited in Bosnia as long as the UN forces were relatively lightly armed and deployed in vulnerable places.
Western governments, principally Britain and France, decided to create a 10,000-strong "Rapid Reaction Force" to beef up the UN presence and deter more outrages. But then came perhaps the most defiant Bosnian Serb act of the entire war: the seizure of the "safe areas" of Srebrenica and Zepa, carried out with total contempt for UN Security Council resolutions.
The West felt compelled this time to prepare a stronger response, not least because the capture of Srebrenica was followed by the disappearance of thousands of Muslim prisoners, many of whom were promptly executed. At the same time, the Krajina Serbs joined in the action by launching a combined offensive with the Bosnian Serbs on Bihac, the Muslim enclave and "safe area" in north-western Bosnia.
Nato's riposte last Tuesday, was to threaten the Bosnian and Croatian Serbs with heavy air strikes if either attacked the four remaining Bosnian "safe areas" of Bihac, Gorazde, Sarajevo and Tuzla. It is the closest Nato has come to fighting a real war since its formation in 1949.
Whatever the implications of the Serb assault on Bihac for Nato, its immediate importance lay in the fact that it provided Croatia with a perfect excuse for entering the fighting. An assault on Krajina Serb and Bosnian Serb positions near Bihac could be justified as a way of easing the pressure on the enclave, even if Franjo Tudjman's basic aim was the restoration of Krajina to Zagreb's authority.
Croat forces struck first in western Bosnia just over a week ago, rolling over the Bosnian Serb towns Grahovo and Glamoc. Refugees poured into Drvar and, when Croat forces shelled Drvar, thousands more fled deep into Bosnian Serb erritory.
Then, last Wednesday, UN officials reported that Croatia had massed a battle-ready force of about 100,000 soldiers, poised to thrust into Krajina both from the direction of Zagreb and from the Dinaric mountains towards Knin. Western intelligence sources put the Croatian troop concentration at nearer 70,000. The Krajina Serb forces were estimated to have at most 45,000 soldiers at their disposal.
It became clear on Wednesday and Thursday that Croatia's two most important Western allies, the United States and Germany, had given Croatia an "amber light" to launch an attack on Krajina. The cautionary advice was that the attack should not get out of hand, either by causing too many civilian casualties or by drawing Serbia into the war.
Britain, France, Russia, and the EU mediator, Carl Bildt, were not happy. A Foreign Office statement issued within hours of Croatia's dawn assault on Friday said: "It is clear that the possibility of further negotiations had not been exhausted."
Mr Bildt, a former Swedish prime minister, recalled that the Krajina Serb leader, Milan Martic, had been accused of war crimes by the UN tribunal in The Hague last month for having authorised Serb rocket attacks on Zagreb in May. "It is difficult to see any difference between these actions and the shelling of Knin, for which President Tudjman must now be held responsible," he said.
A key role in influencing Croatia's actions was played by Peter Galbraith, the US ambassador in Zagreb. When Croatia and Bosnia signed a formal military alliance two weeks ago, an official photograph of the ceremony showed not only Mr Tudjman and the Bosnian President, Alija Izetbegovic, but Mr Galbraith at their shoulders.
Mr Galbraith believes strongly in the need for Croat-Muslim solidarity to roll back Serb war gains, but last Thursday he also tried to extract concessions from the Krajina Serb leadership as a way of delaying or limiting Croatia's long-planned military offensive. He appeared to make progress, for the Krajina Serbs told him they were ready to discuss a "modified and improved" version of an international peace proposal that would return Krajina to Croatian authority but give local Serbs autonomy.
The Croatian government, which had already started rounding up draft- age men in raids on Zagreb apartment buildings, dismissed the apparent concessions as a ruse. War was the only thing on Mr Tudjman's mind. Croats woke up on Friday morning to patriotic pop songs and terse military announcements on the state-controlled radio and television.
Initial reports suggest the Croatian offensive has been successful. On Friday the government claimed its forces had captured the key town of Petrinja, south of Zagreb. The Foreign Minister, Mate Granic, said he expected complete victory within a week.
Clearly, though, much depends on Mr Milosevic. He has condemned the Croatian assault and demanded an international response, but has kept silent on whether Serbia plans to intervene. If it does, Serbia's superior military strength - especially its powerful air force - could quickly tell against Croatia.
But a better guide to Mr Milosevic's thinking may lie in an editorial published on Friday in Politika, the main mouthpiece of the authorities in Belgrade. The newspaper accused the Krajina leadership of having "insane ambitions" and said that "peace is unavoidable".
Thus, in inimitably Balkan fashion, a situation has arisen in which the Krajina Serbs, once beloved of Serbia and reviled by the West, are now courted by the West but attacked by Serbia for incompetence. Militant Serbs have condemned Mr Milosevic for selling out their Krajina brethren, but the President, who controls the Serbian security apparatus, police, bureaucracy, parliament and most of the media, appears to hold all the strongest cards at the moment. He was even confident enough recently to let his fiercest nationalist critic, Vojislav Seselj, out of prison.
On one point, however, Mr Milosevic may not yield. The Krajina enclave of Eastern Slavonia, which borders Serbia, is a region that has oil and gas reserves and rich farmland. It is important to Serbia both in economic and security terms, and it seems unlikely that Mr Milosevic would meekly accept the region's return to Croatian rule.
Croatia has so far been careful to restrict its offensive to the area of Krajina adjacent to the Adriatic coast, leaving Eastern Slavonia alone. But yesterday Serb forces fired hundreds of shells on the Eastern Slavonian towns of Osijek and Vinkovci, in what appeared to be a warning that Croatia should not try to bite off more than it can chew.
Eastern Slavonia is an exceptional case. Elsewhere, there are few signs that Mr Milosevic intends to rescue the beleaguered nationalist marionettes of Krajina. Radovan Karadzic, the Bosnian Serb leader, who fervently wants a Greater Serbia, knows something is wrong.
"People are asking themselves a question," he said on Friday night. "Why has the President of the Republic of Serbia, Slobodan Milosevic, given up on the national programme?"

Malik had dared to take Pakistan's official spy agency ISI, which is believed to have strong connections with terror camps, up on her arms and had put a brave face against conservative sections of the Pakistani society.
It all started when Malik posed nude for a photo shoot to that featured in an international lifestyle magazine, For Him Magazine India (FHM), bearing an ISI tattoo on her arm. The issue also has Malik debating on controversial topics like veil in Muslim societies.
Following the photo jibe, irked Interior Minister of Pakistan, Rahman Malik said that he hadn't seen the magazine. And if the charges are true, then he will take a stern action against Malik.
Meanwhile, Malik said that she didn't pose naked for FHM as she was experiencing the heat over the nude photoshoot. Going forward, she accused that her picture has been 'morphed' and threatened to sue the magazine.
"I have never posed nude. I have never done anything like that ever. My manager and legal team is looking into the matter. We will take legal action against them,' Malik said.
But the FHM India's editor Kabeer Sharma, rubbished Malik's statements and insisted that nothing had been doctored. He said that he has video footage and e-mail from Malik to prove authenticity of the photo. "We have video footage of the shoot as well as emails from Veena Maik about how she's looking forward to the cover," he added.
However, this picture has already sparked outrage in Pakistan and became a viral on Facebook and Twitter after it was unveiled on FHM India's website.
As officials and people in Pakistan are fuming over her bold gesture that supposedly caused insult on ISI and for society itself, women have come out in support of Malik in virtual world.
"Veena, I am proud of you!," wrote Sonia Wahab on a web page.
Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid Chinoy posted on Twitter, "For all you clerics waiting to pounce on Veena Malik better have your excuses lined up about why you were looking at FHM in the first place!"
Commenting on the ISI tattoo, Sharma said the reference to Pakistani intelligence was meant to be light-hearted, saying, "In India we joke about this... if anything goes wrong... we say the ISI must be behind this."
Now we have to wait and watch how it turns up for Malik.

Washington, Feb 1 (ANI): The study of epigenetics could play a role in determining whether or not future trends of diseases can in fact be linked to low-dose radiation delivered from computed tomography (CT) scans, says an article.
The term epigenetics refers to changes in the phenotype (appearance) or gene expression caused by mechanisms other than changes in the underlying DNA sequence.
These changes may remain through cell divisions for the remainder of the cell's life and may also last for multiple generations.
"Radiation safety is, without a doubt, a large concern for practicing radiologists today," said Shella Farooki, radiologist and director of research for Columbus Radiology Corp in Columbus, OH.
"However, the current focus does not account for the possibility of harm to future generations from radiation delivered today. I believe that it is equally, if not more important, to consider potential harm to the patient's offspring and their offspring's offspring.
"The effects of ionizing radiation have been demonstrated in neighbouring cells (non-targeted radiation), known as the bystander effect. In addition, ionizing radiation effects have been shown to span generations, resulting in heritable defects in mice. However, we need to bridge the gap between understanding the epigenome functionality and radiation exposure before assuming anything.
"In 2008, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced that 190 million dollars had been earmarked for epigenetics research over the next five years," she added.
In announcing the funding, government officials noted that epigenetics had the potential to explain mechanisms of aging, human development, and the origins of cancer, heart disease, mental illness, as well as other conditions.
"Epigenetics may ultimately turn out to have a greater role in health and disease and treatment of genetics itself; and given this knowledge, one wonders if future trends in diseases will be linked to today's utilization of CT," said Farooki.
"Clearly, long term epidemiological studies are needed to answer this question, but in the meantime, we are faced with the continued struggle of radiation risk versus benefit," she added.
The article has been published in the February issue of the Journal of the American College of Radiology (JACR). (ANI)

I am getting that two drivers are not compatible with Windows 7: 1) The Nvidia GeForce 8400M GT has the latest that Sony publishes on its support web page for my laptop (Ver. 126.96.36.19960), dated 1/11/2008. On the Nvidia web site, it says that to get updates for my laptop "you must contact your computer vendor", so no updates are available there. Sony does not provide a newer Nvidia driver either. 2) The "Bluetooh Stack for Windows by Toshiba" Ver. 5.00.00. This is the most current driver that Sony publishes for this laptop model on the Vaio support web site. I don't want to embark on the Windows 7 upgrade until I know I won't run into any critical issues that could lead me to who knows where. Any recommendations on how to proceed? Especially for the Toshiba Bluetooth drivers, since the generic Windows 7 graphics VGA driver probably will work.

With proud parents looking on, 16 Senior students of the SCILL Center Auto Tech class received their diplomas last night.
Filling in for the announced speaker, Dr. Dane Miller, Founder of Biomet in Warsaw, the Executive Director of the SCILL Center, Jerry Gurrado, urged the graduates to use the knowledge gained to do great things in the future.
Borrowing from some of the notable people that he has met in his career as a high school coach, including the illustrious Johnny Wooden, Gurrado exhorted the students to follow their dreams.
"Dreams can come true, and by realizing your dreams you can inspire those who follow you in this unique class to realize theirs too," Gurrado said.
Gurrado pointed out that this is one of only two auto tech high school classes in the state. The other is in the largest school in Indiana, Ben Davis High School.
Also recognized were the two instructors, Rod Dawson and Mark Anderson. Over 500 students have graduated from this class since its beginning.
Announcing the students who won various scholarships was George Mammarella, a member of the SCILL Advisory Board.
The "Top Gun" award was given to Anthony Chasse. This award is given to the student who accumulated the most points over a two year career. In giving the award, Rod Dawson said there was one point difference between the "Top Gun" and the runner-up, Thomas Carey.
In closing remarks, Dr. Ron May, President of Ancilla College, said, "You students leave here tonight with something few high school seniors have – a marketable skill."

One of the most important things about electric guitars is, of course, the strings. Without the strings, your guitar would be little more than pieces of wood and metal.
The most important thing to pay attention to when choosing new electric guitar strings for your guitar is the string gauge. The string gauge refers to the thickness of the strings.
Common string gauges include medium gauge, light gauge, and super light gauge. On most of the packages, you'll notice some numbers displayed that point out the gauge, such as 9's (super lights: 0.009 inches), 10's (lights: 0.010 inches), and 11's (mediums: 0.011 inches). These numbers refer to the thickness of the high E string, which is the thinnest string of the set. We also carry lighter and heavier gauges, which are less popular, but those of you shopping for them know the magic they can do for your guitar.
Remember that with thicker strings comes more tension (and more sound). That being said, the high tension (medium and heavy gauges) of the electric guitar strings will benefit you rock and metal players out there who are tuning down your guitars to drop D or even drop C. You need that extra thickness and tension, but with enough accessibility to let you rock the solos where your legato runs and bends show up. Thicker electric guitar strings are also great for tuning stability, short scale guitars, and anyone who's a rhythm player.
Thinner electric guitar strings, on the other hand, work best for guitarists who love to bend, lead, or play fast. They're also better for guitars with long scale length. Light gauge strings require less pressure, so they're often recommended for beginners.
We also carry light top, heavy bottom electric guitar string sets. In these sets, the highest three strings are a light gauge and the lowest three are a heavy gauge. Check these out if you're a rock or metal player who often uses the lowest strings for power chords, rhythmic stuff, since you'll want that tuning stability there. At the same time, the highest three strings will aid your fast, bendy leads.
Got an 8-string guitar? Grab our extended-scale electric guitar strings.
For the bluesy and jazzy electric guitar players out there, we carry flatwound strings. These have a flat and smooth wiring around the core, giving you a nice sound for those awesome jazz slides.
Finally, think about whether you want a protective coating for your electric guitar strings. Coated strings have some wrapping around them, while treated ones feel just like normal strings, but are treated with some special substances.

Forgive Allen Craig if he doesn't know what position he's playing today. Or next week. Or next month. Or next year.
Including his time in the minors, Craig, 6-2, 210 pounds, has played every position except center field, pitcher and catcher. Last year, when he got called up to the big leagues, he played in left, right and at first base and third base. He even got one inning in at second base.
Recently, Craig, who has hit .308 in the minors with good power, offered outfield help while the St. Louis Cardinals' Matt Holliday recovered from an appendectomy.
On my iPhone
I have a bunch of stuff. I like songs from the top-20 hits. I like Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, rap, hip-hop, rock. I'm all over the map.
Xbox or PlayStation?
PlayStation. I play FIFA a lot. It's a great game. I'm playing for Chelsea right now. They have Fernando Torres, (Nicolas) Anelka and (Didier) Drogba, who are unstoppable.
DVD I can't live without
Major League and Major (League) II. Those two are classics.
Golf, hunt or fish?
Golf. My dad took me out golfing as a kid, and it's something I try to do as much as I can. I'm OK; I shoot around 90. I'm good enough to keep going back.
Other hobby of choice
I like to shoot hoops in my spare time. I played in high school (at Chaparral High in Temecula, Calif.), and I was a pretty good shooter. It's something different to focus on.
Favorite ballpark
I really like San Francisco. I went to school at Berkeley, right across the bay. I went to a lot of games there, so getting to go there when I got to the big leagues was pretty special.
Former big-leaguer I admire most
My favorite player growing up was Ken Griffey Jr. because I liked his style and how he played. I also liked Cal Ripken Jr. - his demeanor and how he played and how tough he was. And Alex Rodriguez. I know he's still a big-leaguer, but when I was younger and he was playing shortstop, that's who I wanted to play like.
Six up, six down
1 - Does it get frustrating not having a primary position?
I just have to be prepared for all of them ... I come to the ballpark every day ready to play - wherever that is.
2 - What do you like most about playing in St. Louis?
The fans. Everyone is really kind, knowledgeable about the game. You see them around town, and they always say hi. They're just good people.
3 - Who's the best player you ever saw?
When I was a kid watching the game, I'd say (Ken) Griffey (Jr.). Since I've been playing in the pros, I'd say Albert (Pujols). He's just that good.
4 - What's the best advice you ever received from a coach?
That's tough because there have been so many influential people. I would probably say my first coach, Mark DeJohn. He told me how every player has a time clock. Time runs out for everybody. Those who make it to the big leagues can extend that clock by trying to get better. Do the little things to improve. You can never take your job in the majors for granted. It ends for everybody. For you to delay that ending, you have to work hard.
5 - If you weren't a ballplayer, what would you be?
I honestly don't know. I've been focused on baseball for so long, I really haven't stopped to think about it. But I have an education, I graduated from Berkeley (degree in social welfare). So when baseball ends, I'm sure I'll find something to do. And I'll be prepared.
6 - What's one thing fans don't know about you?
I have a pet tortoise. It doesn't really have a name. We just call him Tortie. We just recently found out that he is a boy, because you can't tell their sex for three or four years. We got him when he was just a baby (the size of a baseball), and now he's this big (about the size of two basketballs).
Daily Pitch is a baseball fan's destination for breaking news, emerging trends and enlightening banter. With a veteran group of reporters positioned in three time zones, we provide a balanced, comprehensive glimpse at our national pastime, with a nod to both the passion and complexities that make the sport irresistible to many.

The Mattachine Society of Washington: Celebrating 50 Years
Rainbow History Project
Thursday, October 13, 2011 from 7:00 PM to 9:00 PM (EDT)
Event Details
Despite Dr. Franklin Kameny's tragic passing today (Tuesday) at the age of 86, the Rainbow History Project will continue with this program. We intend to honor Dr. Kameny's life and legacy by carrying on with discussion and memories of his pioneering work.
--Philip Clark / Chair, Rainbow History Project / firstname.lastname@example.com
Fifty years ago, in November 1961, Dr. Frank Kameny and Jack Nichols founded the Mattachine Society of Washington, "dedicated to improving the status of the homosexual citizen through a vigorous program of action." MSW worked tirelessly in pursuing legal and social change for gays and lesbians: fighting the U.S. civil service employment ban, working with religious organizations to improve understanding, challenging the homophobic views of psychiatrists. These activities culminated in Frank Kameny's run for Congress in 1971.
On Thursday, October 13th, the Rainbow History Project is honoring the 50th anniversary of the Mattachine Society of Washington (MSW), Washington D.C.'s oldest gay rights organization, with a panel discussion featuring MSW founders and activists Frank Kameny, Lilli Vincenz, and Paul Kuntzler. They will discuss the history, activities, and enduring legacy of MSW in both the Washington D.C. area and nationally.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. Discussion will begin at 7 p.m. Light refreshments to follow.

What the RCN is doing to meet our commitment to improve care for people with dementia
Following our highly evaluated SPACE programme the Royal College of Nursing, with support from the RCN Foundation, is introducing these principles during a 12-month development programme to six care homes across the UK that provide nursing care.
The programme is based on a previous dementia project run by the RCN in acute hospital settings in 2011, and aims to help nursing staff who work in care homes make improvements to care for residents with dementia by drawing on the projects five principles for providing good dementia care, which can be summed up using the mnemonic SPACE:
The programme will help care home staff to develop their skills and knowledge; improve their understanding of the role of carers, families and friends in dementia care; draw up local action plans for changes; and evaluate the effect of improvements.
The RCN's dignity in dementia project found that having a dedicated dementia nursing post was instrumental to delivering changes in practice and providing good quality dementia are in hospital. In response, a review of the impact of dementia nurse specialists in hospitals was carried out by the University of Southampton and funded jointly by the RCN and the RCN Foundation. The resulting report called for greater support, funding and training for specialist dementia nurses, adding that they could save the health service almost £11,000,000 a year.
The report, which forms part of ongoing work at the RCN focusing on dementia care, was developed in response to the Prime Minister's Challenge on dementia to scope the role of dementia nurse specialists working in the acute care setting and develop recommendations for future developments.
See the full report Scoping the role of dementia nurse specialists in acute care and the RCN Summary and recommendations
This development programme funded by the RCN Foundation ran for a year with the main aims of:
Nine NHS Trusts took part in the programme to develop innovative ways to improve dementia care in hospitals. The programme included the delivery of the RCN's commitment to the Care of People with Dementia in General Hospitals and the SPACE principles.
An independent evaluation of the programme carried out by the Association for Dementia Studies, University of Worcester, showed that commitment and leadership for Trust boards as well as investing in dedicated dementia nurse specialists, was integral to achieving improvements in dementia care.
The programme was found to help clinical leads achieve some very positive outcomes for patients and improve engagement with family carers over a relatively short period of time.
You can view the Transforming Dementia Care in Hospitals Evaluation Report on the University of Worcester's website.

Australian pop goddess Kylie Minogue is savvy enough to know that property makes a great long-term investment for her estimated £8 million-a-year income. Already the owner of two London apartments, in South Kensington and Docklands, she is now looking for a third. Winkworth and Knight Frank are among the lucky agents escorting her around Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill. "She has a million pounds in cash to invest," a rival agent tells me. "But she will probably pay more for the right place."
A five-bedroom corner house overlooking the Thames in Strand on the Green has a rare provenance. The former Chiswick farmer's dairy is next door to The Bull's Head pub, once the haunt of the notorious 17th century highway robber Mary Frith, alias Moll Cutpurse. She would eavesdrop on wellheeled travellers to discover their destination and then ambush them. Barnard Marcus is selling the Queen Anne-style Old Dairy, with its large conservatory and walled garden, for £770,000.
Patrick Cox, Canadian-born shoemaker to the stars, has bought a four-bedroom Victorian house in Maida Vale for an estimated £2 million. It replaces his flat in Notting Hill. Cox - pictured below with one of his customers, Sophie Dahl, but who also counts Madonna, Elton John and Cate Blanchett among his regular patrons - plans to use the refurbished pad mainly at weekends. The house boasts its own private cinema. During the week, he lives in an apartment near his design studio at Civitanova Marche on the Adriatic near Ancona, the heart of the Italian shoe industry.
Britain's leading puppeteer, Christopher Leith, is selling his Georgian home overlooking Hastings harbour in East Sussex for £450,000 through John Bray & Sons. The three reception-room, four-bedroom former coastguard's house has a half-acre garden with a natural cave. Leith, a former director of the Little Angel Theatre in Islington, describes the garden's two-storey lookout building as "ideal for enjoying quiet contemplation".
Fans once swooned over Fifties crooner Dickie Valentine. Now his former home, River's Edge, near Egham, Surrey, where he lived before his death in 1971, is for sale at £845,000 through Harrods Estates. The four-bedroom property offers such popstar essentials as tall wrought-iron front gates, an indoor swimming pool, a double garage and that all-important 90ft Thames frontage from which to moor a decent-sized gin palace.

I Hate When That Happens
By BY TATER BARLEY BANKS & Friends | Comment Diversions | April 3, 2010 | Comments ()
By BY TATER BARLEY BANKS & Friends | Comment Diversions | April 3, 2010 |
So if y'all really don't mind (and be honest: Nobody really minds less of my bullshit, right?), I'm once more turning over the coveted Weekend Diversion space to another guest, this time the estimable Uncle JR:
I was watching TV today when one of the characters who had heard a gunshot said "I thought it was a car backfiring."
Now, when was the last time YOU heard a car backfire? It's been eons, and with the state of cars today, I'm pretty sure that it's a very infrequent occasion.
So, I was wondering, what movie/TV cliche drives you nuts?
That should keep the kids busy while we hit mom and dad's liquor cabinet.
Speaking of liquor, I didn't see this tidbit (there's a word that doesn't get used enough) of news show up here, so as a bonus here's the story of the year:
Police said a man will be charged with public drunkenness after several witnesses saw him attempting to resuscitate a road-killed opossum.
State police said they charged Donald Wolfe, 55, of Brookville, Jefferson County, after they arrived at the scene on Route 36 in Oliver Township around 3 p.m. Thursday.
A news release from police does not state how he was trying to revive the opossum.

A significant audience of around 30 million households in the USA and Canada will be able to see the UK Clio Cup action as MavTV shows coverage of both the 2015 and 2016 seasons.
This will be in addition to the air time that the UK Clio Cup receives in Britain which includes live coverage on the ITV4 channel and then follow-up highlights on ITV Sport's Motorsport UK show (broadcast on both ITV1 and ITV4).
The UK Clio Cup's broadcast arrangement with MavTV has been arranged by Performance Communications Group (PCG), a major international motor sports content provider and distributor.
Renaultsport's UK Motorsport Championship Manager Will Fewkes commented: "We are absolutely delighted to be able to confirm the broadcast of our championship into multi-million households across North America. This is terrific news for all our drivers, teams, sponsors and partners."
And added Jeremy Townsend, Communications Director, Renault UK: "America loves close sporting contests and, given how the level of competition on the UK Clio Cup grid has increased so dramatically in 2015, they are certainly going to get that when our racing reaches its screens.
"On top of ITV Sport's live coverage and highlights of the UK Clio Cup – which, free-to-air, reaches close to all 26.4 million households in Britain – this additional coverage with MavTV means yet more fantastic brand exposure for our stakeholders."

Microtherapeutics Is On The MendBy
With the recent swirl of takeovers in the medical devices industry, MicroTherapeutics (MTIX) is gaining new fans. "It represents the only public pure play in the more than $1 billion neurovascular intervention market," says Sam Navarro, managing director at ING Baring Furman Selz. He notes that a number of companies have expressed an interest in MicroTherapeutics, which makes micro-catheters and micro-guidewires for the treatment of vascular ailments such as blood clots.
Several big companies already have bought hefty stakes in MicroTherapeutics: Abbott Laboratories owns 11.4%, Guidant has 6.3%, and Japan's Century Medical, 2.4%. The stock, which slumped to 6 3/8 on Apr. 7, has since sprinted to 10 1/2.
Navarro says that while MicroTherapeutics' proprietary micro-catheters and micro-guidewires have become its first technology platform, its emerging embolization technology for neurovascular applications "could catapult it to become one of the most attractive takeovers in the field."
Among the possible buyers, "Guidant appears the most likely to go after MicroTherapeutics," says Joanne Wuensch, an analyst at ING Baring. "The fit for Guidant is that MicroTherapeutics would widen its reach into the neurovascular market," she says. MicroTherapeutics is developing its Onyx system for neurovascular and other applications. Wuensch expects the first case using Onyx to treat an aneurism will take place in Paris in the next two weeks. "That will be a milestone for MicroTherapeutics," she says. If it's successful, Wuensch and Navarro expect the stock to surge. Their target: 20 in six months or a year. Guidant declined comment.

There was a story making the rounds this week that Indiana and Kentucky are in discussions about potentially renewing the men's basketball series.
The annual Border War had been played since 1924 and the two teams had met 56 times. The last time they met in a regular scheduled series game was on Dec. 10, 2011 when Christian Watford hit the shot heard around the college basketball world in a 73-72 IU victory at Assembly Hall.
The last time the two teams met was in the Sweet Sixteen of the NCAA Tournament that same season when Kentucky got revenge with a 102-90 win in Atlanta.
Talks are believed to be in the preliminary stages and both schools have confirmed that talks exist.
But here's my question: At what cost would you want to see Indiana play Kentucky every season once again?
The reason I say that is that there have been reports that Indiana and Louisville are talking about an annual series, too.
If you could only pick one of those, which would it be? Many people would say Kentucky on history alone but IU-Louisville seems like a natural, too.
Why would you have to choose, some might ask? Technically you wouldn't but I guess I would be surprised if Indiana agreed to playing a series against both of those teams at the same time. Because once you factor in facing either Notre Dame or Butler every year in the Crossroads Classic, playing in the ACC-Big Ten Challenge every season, and also playing in an exempt event like Indiana does most years (the Hoosiers are at Maui this season) all of a sudden you're not leaving a lot of games left to be scheduled before you play an 18-game conference season.
The other thing that has still yet to be talked much about with IU-Kentucky is what kind of format is on the table?
Are we talking all neutral site games which is what Kentucky wanted the last time talks were going on, or are we talking a home-and-home and two neutral site games which is what IU had reportedly proposed?
If it worked out that every four years Kentucky would play in Bloomington at least once and the Hoosiers would play in Lexington at least once, I think that would be the best scenario for everyone.
I'm sure we'll be talking about this one for a while but if they can pull it off, I do think an IU-Kentucky rivalry is good not just for those two programs but for college basketball in general.
I just wonder if doing it would come at the expense of a series such as IU-Louisville.

I dunno. I don't want to speak for anyone else, but for me this kind of thing is just too private to tweet about - I feel it's something that should be endured with "quite (sic) dignity", as people always did for decades before the advent of social networking. I think times like this are good for quiet reflection and contemplation - something I feel people do too little of these days, in our constantly connected world.There's something appealing to this vision. I'm not above seeking a little solitude to contemplate and reflect. But even if I were capable of "quiet dignity"—and honestly, I'm probably not—I think LJMAC would be dead wrong.
For me, at least, "quiet dignity" would've meant "quiet suffering." And there's nothing inherently ennobling about suffering, I think, when it's done in a vacuum. Pain, depression, loneliness, the drug-induced sense of not quite existing in the real world—none of these things made me a better man. None of them were likely to. And anybody who implies I—or you—should be quiet and endure probably has a romantic view of life that renders them callous to actual human pain.
In fact, it was the support of my friends and family through Facebook and Twitter that actually provided the benefits that LJMAC thinks comes from "quiet dignity." A few weeks ago, I posted this message to my private Facebook account:
In recent weeks, I have been the recipient of prayers and hopeful thoughts from an unexpectedly wide range of people: Christians, Jews, Muslims, agnostics and atheists. Democrats, Republicans, and socialists. Journalists and non-journalists. Folks in Europe, Asia, and more than a few of the 50 states. People I've argued with heatedly, and people who probably have every right to hate me or hold me in contempt. I've been offered grace from people I never expected to give it, from folks I didn't think were capable of it.Solitude has its uses. So does community. There will be times when I need the former; the latter has been crucial to my recent survival ... and growth.
I've learned humility on my own because, well, poop has been an integral element of every bad thing that's happened to me in the last month. But I've also learned humility because I've seen kindness from so many unexpected sources in the last month that I find it a bit more difficult to easily assign folks to binary groups of black hats and white hats.
I am not who I was five years ago, or 10 or 15 or 20. But ... neither are many of you. I've been guilty of not recognizing the growth that other people experience. I've been guilty of not always recognizing their humanity.
There are a lot of changes I expect to make as a result of this spring and summer of discontent. Mostly, though, I hope to be more patient and generous in spirit. I have been the recipient of that in the last month. I am grateful for it. And I thank you all.

TODAY on Here's Why That's Funny on FCC Free Radio – it's a lovely, windy day in San Francisco, California, the greatest city at least in the tri-city area, not including Oakland. In the past week that we've been gone, we missed a few big stories: for example, Facebook has just eliminated the use of humans for their "Trending Topics" section by creating an algorithm to update the data automatically. Spoiler alert: turns out, robots aren't good at everything. That being said, if Facebook is your only source of news, you'll be the first one to die when the robots eventually take over. I'll make sure of it.
Justin Lockwood is one of the fresh-faces of Comedy Day! on September 18th at Sharon Meadow in Golden Gate Park. He's also one of the co-producers of On The Spot comedy (one of Alex's favorite alternative showcases) and is super talented in nursing one glass of white wine over the course of two hours. Terry Dorsey is a piece of work too – he's the host of the Showdown at the Improv, and he's here to promote the September 9th showcase with Alex, Kaseem Bentley, Paul Brumbaugh, Frankie Marcos, and more! He's only going to stick around for the first half of the show because he literally CANNOT stand to be around Alex but trust us, you'll have a good time while he's here.
Download, Share, Like, and remember that Alex and her friends care about you, and think you're special. Except for when you make that weird sound when you laugh. Then we think you're weird, and we want you to leave.

You don't need to buy every machine learning book on Amazon. You don't need to spend your weekends binge-watching math lectures on Youtube.
Bypass the academic work and get back to what you do best: Writing software. Learn an easier way to test whether machine learning can work for your problem...and your team.
I learned machine learning the hard way: An applied math degree, and a brief stint as a financial quant.
But my background served me well. As I moved into software development, I had no problem building sentiment engines, recommendation tools, and search algorithms for high-growth startups.
But the truth is, the theory only took me so far. It didn't teach me about motivating my teammates to help...
or the best ways to educate a boss or client...
or if I had the right data to implement an algorithm.
Instead of reading academic papers after work, you could learn...
Learn what I know from years of math classes in a series of 6 bite-sized videos.
Zoom through the project planning phase. Know exactly which algorithm and stack to use...and which coworkers can assist.
Want to know how I saved a company $40k a year in server costs? This is the place.
The videos are for you to reference over and over. Create a Teachable account to review lessons.
Wondering if the course will meet your needs? Try it out and see. If not, you are entitled to a 15-minute consultation with me, Matt Kirk, to walk through your problem.

Howdy, Make sure you use different home directories (%CATALINA_HOME%). They can use the same java installation unless you need different things in the jre/lib/ext directories. Make sure the ports (shutdown and any connectors) don't clash. And that's about it...

Shane-e-Hind, a huge concrete structure, was designed by the chief architect of Punjab. It measures around 42 feet in length, 56 feet in height and 91 feet in width, which impresses onlookers at the very first glance. Shane-e-Hind serves as a fine response to the structure Fakhr-E-Pak structure of Pakistan, built 30 years ago which is around 30 feet high.

Tamara Rojo
Lead principal dancer and artistic director, English National Ballet
The Bloomsbury-based ballerina, 41, keeps her audience in raptures and her rivals on their toes as both the body and brains behind England's national touring ballet company. She's masterminding a new HQ for the company, new collaborations, new recruits and exciting new ballets — including showcasing the work of more female choreographers.
Wayne McGregor
Artistic director, Random Dance
McGregor continues to be one of the busiest men in dance. This year, among other things, he has created a new work for the Manchester International Festival with artist Olafur Eliason and Jamie xx, an acclaimed piece for Royal Ballet inspired by Virginia Woolf and Paloma Faith's Brit Awards performance. Plans are underway for McGregor's company to move into a new studio in the Olympic Park in 2016, which will offer artists free access to studios in return for working with the local community.
Kevin O'Hare
Artistic director, Royal Ballet
The former dancer, who took over the reins at the Royal Ballet in 2012, continues to steer the company admirably between the big classic ballets of old and innovative new commissions, nurturing young British talent and inviting new voices into the ballet world.
Alistair Spalding
Artistic director and chief executive, Sadler's Wells
London's prime dance venue has an impressive track record of managing the tricky balancing act between commercial success (the organisation is only 10 per cent Arts Council-funded) and artistic risk. With an impressive roster of associate artists and companies, the venue has helped to ignite the careers of many of the UK's leading choreographers and Stoke Newington resident Spalding commands huge respect in the dance world.
Natalia Osipova
Principal dancer, The Royal Ballet
When Osipova is on stage, it's hard to look at anyone else. The 29-year-old Russian's intense presence and superlative technique mark her out as one of the best (arguably, the best) of her generation. She has made London her home after joining the Royal Ballet in 2013, and was a multiple award winner at this year's Critics' Circle National Dance Awards.
Christopher Wheeldon
The British-born and trained choreographer remains an artistic associate of the Royal Ballet but many of his major successes are now taking place Stateside. His Broadway remake of the Gene Kelly movie An American in Paris picked up 12 nominations at this year's Tony Awards and won four — including for choreography. When not reimagining musicals, or enjoying married life with yoga instructor husband Ross Rayburn, he's also busy making work for major ballet companies in Paris, London and New York.
Hofesh Shechter
The Israeli choreographer is all over London this autumn as the self-titled #Hofest takes over the capital with a host of firsts including his first opera, the first dance show in 20 years to take place at Brixton Academy and the launch of a new junior branch of his company. Another first, earlier this year, was Shechter's debut at the Royal Opera House, creating the Royal Ballet's most contemporary work to date. The 40-year-old is one of the most influential artists around. Everyone wants to work with him, or to be like him.
Aaron Sillis
Dancer, choreographer
Not many people have danced both with stars of the Bolshoi and Kylie Minogue, but Aaron Sillis has. The versatile 31-year-old has an eclectic career as a performer with pop's biggest names (Rihanna, Katy Perry, Pet Shop Boys) but he also works in theatre, with Matthew Bourne, Twyla Tharp and Ivan Putrov. Now Sillis is moving into choreography, most notably with the experimental pop artist FKA twigs, bridging the gap between commercial and "serious" dance and treating the music video as an art form.
Akram Khan
British-Bangladeshi choreographer Khan, 41, grew up in Wimbledon and still lives there, but he must hardly ever be home as he's one of our most in demand dance-makers worldwide, with his creations such as Torobaka, iTMOi and Kaash constantly circling the globe. On home soil his work is being performed by English National Ballet, he's adapting one of his best-loved works, Desh, for children and he's busy preparing for a brand new show at the Roundhouse based on the Mahabharata, the same story that launched his dance career as a 13-year-old performing with Peter Brook.
Jonathan Goddard
Performer and choreographer
Twice winner of the Best Male Dancer trophy at the National Dance Awards, east London resident Goddard is a critic's favourite, a dancer of deft touch and soulful fluidity. His fang-bearing turn as Dracula in Mark Bruce's eponymous production showed his flair for character, but Goddard also has a portfolio career, as a member of the innovative dance ensemble New Movement Collective, a tutor at the Architectural Association, a choreographer for musical theatre and a movement director at the National Theatre and RSC.
Kenneth Olumuyiwa Tharp
Chief executive, The Place
After a 25-year career as a dancer, the sharp-dressing Tharp now makes his moves behind the scenes as chief executive of The Place, a venue that encompasses training, artist development and performance, comprising the London Contemporary Dance School and the Robin Howard Theatre. An eloquent talker and keen tweeter, Tharp stays involved in both the art and the politics of dance.
Carlos Acosta
Principal guest artist, Royal Ballet
The Cuban dance legend is idolised around the world, but since 1998, London has been his home (Islington, to be precise). His flying leaps, infinite spins and seductive charisma have made him a must-see dancer but he's a multi-talented man: a producer, choreographer and occasional actor, Acosta wrote a bestselling autobiography, No Way Home, followed by a well-received novel, Pig's Foot. At 42, he is preparing to retire from the major ballet roles but don't expect to be seeing any less of him as he embarks on new, and no doubt unexpected, ventures.
Isaac Hernandez
Lead principal dancer, English National Ballet
ENB's brand new principal, the 25-year-old Mexican has arrived in London by way of Dutch National Ballet and is set to have audiences swooning, not just at his boyish good looks and dark chestnut curls, but his soaring jumps, fine technique and expert control. A star in the making.

UPDATED! Full 28 Weeks Later review is now available!
If you've had the misfortune of stepping into a movie theater over the past three months, you're probably feeling pretty down on the current horror scene. But rest assured, folks, good things are on the horizon…
As a show of good faith, Fox invited Dread Central out to their studios to screen the first 28 minutes (get it?) of the most anticipated film in their Fox Atomic catalog, 28 Weeks Later.
So what's the verdict? Well, all notions of this being some contrived studio cash-in were dashed within the opening minutes. Boyle and Garland are obviously going to great lengths to make sure this film is a mature follow-up rather than collect their "executive producer" paychecks, and it looks like they've found a great successor in director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo. If the rough footage screened is any indication, 28 Weeks Later looks to be even more epic, tense, and character-driven than its predecessor. In fact, those that disliked the original 28 Days for its Romero-inspired trappings will be surprised to find that the sequel extends into much fresher territory.
As much as we'd love to tell you every juicy detail of what we saw, we're bound to some level of secrecy here. But here's a basic run-down of what was shown (beware of minor spoilers):
The film opens with a blistering infected attack on a group of survivors during the events of the original film. Title cards give us a timeline following the starvation and demise of the infected. Cut to… (drum roll) 28 weeks later: With the virus seemingly gone, authorities have turned London into a military zone and are beginning the process of repopulation. Survivors are checked in through medical tests and background procedures before being herded into apartments in temporary "safe zones". It is here, we assume, that all hell will break loose. Robert Carlyle (in top form) takes on the role of the tortured protagonist who is trying to rebuild life with his family, and the gritty hand-held style of the original perfectly sets up the ruined aftermath of the infected apocalypse.
When the lights came up, we could all safely say that we were very impressed, and this writer is more anxious than ever to see the final product. Keep your eyes peeled right here as news develops.
