Roland Emmerich's 2012 may have failed to live up to its apocalyptic promise, but one group are nonetheless not too happy about how it all turned out: The Catholic Church are seeking restitution over the movie's treatment of Jesus.
According to reports, lawyers for the Brazilian Catholic Church are objecting to the treatment of the famous Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro in last year's destructoporn. Attorney Claudine Dutra, speaking on behalf of the church, told reporters that moviemakers were specifically denied permission to show the figure being destroyed by a tidal wave in the movie, but went ahead and did so anyway:
The archdiocese refused the use of the religious symbol during pre-production of the movie, but Columbia Pictures did not respect the prohibition... [M]any faithful have said they are shocked and offended by the images of the destruction of this sanctuary that the archdiocese wanted to preserve. We want Columbia Pictures to publicly declare that it did not intend to cause offense.
A spokesman for Columbia responded that they did have permission... just not from the church:
Acting on a good faith belief that the estate of the sculptor of the statue held the copyright, we sought and received their permission to use the image in the movie... We are currently in discussions with the archdiocese in hopes of reaching an agreement in this matter.
Talks have been going on between parties since December last year, but an amicable resolution doesn't seem to be on the cards just yet; Dutra is quoted as saying "We are at the start of negotiations and don't know the amount of damages we are looking at." Maybe they should just ask themselves what Jesus would do.

Get The Bugs Out
This story appears in the September 1997 issue of Business Start-Ups magazine. Subscribe »
Years ago when I first heard someone say their computer might have a virus, I imagined a tired, feverish machine with a hacking cough. You've got to be kidding, I thought. Computers don't get sick. Then, after hearing stories about evildoers who spread viruses among all the good machines, I was sure that viruses were just another conspiracy theory gone awry. I mean, why would anyone or any code want to hurt my computer? Well, it turns out computers do get sick, and there are people out there who get a kick out of making them ill. Computers can catch viruses that seriously cripple them, which, in turn, cripples you and your business.
Viruses infect your machine by attaching themselves to programs, files and start-up instructions.
There are two main types of computer viruses: macro and binary. Macro viruses are written to attack a specific program. The macro virus that has made its way into the most computers is probably the Word Concept virus. Relatively innocuous, though annoying, Word Concept changes the Save As function so documents can be saved only as template files (.DOT). Binary viruses are either actual programs designed to attack your data or attach themselves to program files to do similar destruction. Binary viruses are the ones to be concerned with; they can reformat your hard drive, wipe out data and stop your operating system from working.
The best way to fight these bugs is to avoid them--but in today's world of Internet downloads and e-mail file exchanges, this is an impossible task. To the rescue are anti-virus software programs, loaded on your computer and at the ready to protect it from any foreign invaders. There are dozens of these virus-fighting programs on the market. In this column, we review two top Macintosh-based anti-virus programs, Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh and Datawatch Virex 5.7. Both companies offer Windows-based anti-virus programs as well. You can also find plenty of anti-virus programs on the Internet available for downloading.
On The Attack
Symantec AntiVirus for Macintosh (SAM) is easy to install and provides the option of running the program on a PowerPC. Symantec enables you to scan your drives for viruses during installation, and if there are any infected files, the program repairs them.
Internet and online users will appreciate SAM's ability to automatically check files for viruses when they are downloaded and to scan commonly compressed files (such as Stuff It, Disk Doubler and so on). SAM also checks applications for viruses every time you run them, checks floppy disks when inserted in a drive, and monitors your Macintosh for suspicious virus activity. You can even set up the program to perform scheduled virus scans.
Users designate a folder on the desktop as a "SafeZone"; all downloaded files are then directed there for assessment. If SAM detects a virus, it deletes any record of it--saving your machine from potential disaster. Of course, you can also manually check files, folders and disks for viruses using a simple point-and-click procedure.
SAM includes built-in alerts that warn you when suspicious activities are occurring in your computer, indicating that viruses may be spreading or damaging your files. Though many of these activities are normal program functions, SAM suggests they be investigated. An alert box will appear and prompt you through the investigation process. Similarly, if the program detects a change to a file since it was last scanned, it will prompt you to investigate.
Because new viruses are constantly being created and distributed, you'll want your anti-virus software to keep up with the times. SAM gives you several options to update your virus definition list, including direct downloads from the Symantec Bulletin Board Service, a file transfer protocol (FTP) site at http://www.symantec.com , and forums on CompuServe and America Online. If you don't have a modem, you can get updated virus definition files on disk.
If your machine is short on RAM (2MB or less), you can opt to install a lightweight version of SAM, called Intercept Jr. This program doesn't monitor your drives for suspicious activities and can't be customized, but it does perform all other basic virus-detection functions.
Watchful Eye
Datawatch Virex 5.7 is the other leader in Macintosh anti-virus software. Virex is also simple to install and run, and can be used on a PowerPC. During installation, Virex asks whether you'd like to scan for viruses. If any are found, it removes them.
Virex offers sophisticated functions for today's virus problems, including protection against Microsoft Office 97 macro viruses. Virex also finds and restores infected Word files that have been converted to template files.
I preferred Virex's interface over SAM because it's simpler to navigate. Not that either program requires much hands-on use: Most of what these products do is automatic. On the other hand, Virex's monitoring of suspicious activities requires more manual work by the user than SAM's. Like SAM, Virex offers virus updates via the Internet and on disk.
Virex installs a "DropScan" icon on the desktop for users to drag files, folders or volumes into for virus assessment. Beware, however: You first need to install the Virex Control Panel before DropScan will work.
Virex's biggest selling point is speed--something to consider when you're in the middle of important work and your anti-virus software stops to analyze what's going on. Virex's SpeedScan definitely does this faster than SAM.
Both SAM and Virex will protect your Macintosh from viruses. In
the end, I found that neither is clearly better than the other.
SAM's ability to easily monitor suspicious activ-
ities is a plus, while Datawatch's dedication to speed and protection against Microsoft Office 97 macro viruses plays in Virex's favor.

Smoke Alarms
Do I need a smoke alarm in my basement and walk up attic?
Yes, you require a smoke alarm on every level of your home.
What is the best smoke alarm to buy for my home?
There are many types of smoke alarms, each with different features. Alarms can be electrically connected, battery powered or a combination of both. This combination - and a pause feature to reduce nuisance alarms - are highly recommended. REMEMBER: To change your battery when you change your clock!!!
Where do I install smoke alarms?
Because smoke rises, you should place alarms on the ceiling. If you cannot do this, place them high up on a wall, according to manufacturer's instructions. There are certain locations to avoid such as near bathrooms, heating appliances, windows or close to ceiling fans. Do you require assistance installing your smoke alarm? Are you unsure where to place it or is it just too high. Our Fire Service is always willing to help you - contact Administration by clicking here for e-mail or call directly to 905-834-4512 - Monday - Friday (8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m.)

Carbon Monoxide Alarms
Do I really need a carbon monoxide alarm in my home?
Carbon monoxide alarms are now mandatory!!!! Ontario is taking another step to keep families and homes safe by making carbon monoxide alarms mandatory in all residential homes containing fuel fired applicances and/or an attached garage. A carbon monoxide alarm must be placed outside all sleeping areas.
Why outside my bedroom areas and not beside by furnace?
In general, the human body is most vulnerable to the effects of Carbon Monoxide during sleeping hours, so an alarm should be located in or as near as possible to the sleeping area of the home.
If your carbon monoxide alarm is placed by your furnace and goes off in the middle of the night in your basement - how is that going to wake you up?
If you feel safer with a carbon monoxide alarm by your furnace, a second carbon monoxide alarm can be installed; just make sure you have a carbon monoxide alarm installed by each sleeping area of the home (that includes your teenagers room in the basement, granny flat or spare bedroom).
Unlike smoke, which rises to the ceiling, Carbon monoxide mixes with air. To work properly, a carbon monoxide alarm should not be blocked by furniture, draperies or other obstructions to normal air flow.
If a combination smoke/carbon monoxide alarm is used, it should be located on the ceiling, to ensure that it will detect smoke effectively.

When Janice Langbehn's partner of 18 years suffered an aneurysm, Langbehn and their children were not allowed to visit her in the hospital. Now the case is the subject of a lawsuit with major implications.
The case, detailed in today's NY Times, is heart-wrenching. The family was on vacation in Miami when Lisa collapsed, and when they arrived at the hospital a social worker allegedly told Langbehn that she was in an "antigay city and state" and would require health-care proxy forms in order to visit the ER. Although she produced the forms, she was still not allowed to see her partner for eight hours, only permitted access for five minutes while a priest administered last rites, and denied a chance to let the three children say goodbye until after Lisa was brain-dead. When Lisa's sister arrived, she was immediately admitted.
This Miami lawsuit, and a similar case in Washington State, raise an issue that is not a new one; hospital visiting rights is a common theme in the argument for gay marriage. And of course, a positive ruling vis a vis visiting rights could have major implications for all unmarried couples, to say nothing of friends and any number of relationships beyond traditional marriage. If successful, a ruling in Langbehn's favor could compel hospitals to respect a patient's wishes; right now, it's generally subject to a doctor's judgment in the case of emergency care.
Of course, there are legitimate legal reasons for having put such a policy in place - when it comes to questions like life support or other major decisions, it could conceivably get dicey to allow just anyone agency in these matters, to say nothing of legally problematic for hospitals. And certainly we get that you can't have various strangers wandering around the ICU, if that's what medical pros are concerned about. But surely there are simple, practical means of expanding this policy - the insurance equivalent of 'in case of emergency?' In a time when we're more than aware of the fragmentation of many family relationships and the importance of others, such restrictive policies and narrow definitions seem impossibly retrograde - and, when we hear about specific cases like this, inhumane. One of the more depressing aspects of the article, of course, is that legality is not guarantee of fairness - prejudice and cruelty can still find a way - but at least it's a start.

The Search for America's Best Tacos: East Coast Contenders
We're back with another edition of our March Madness-style tournament of tacos. We traveled thousands of miles to taquerias, taco trucks, corner stores, and carnicerias to find the 64 very best tacos in the country as part of a feature for Every Day with Rachael Ray magazine's March issue.
We've told you about our picks from the Midwest, the South, and the West coast. Today we're heading to the East Coast!
The Bracket Methodology
The national list includes 64 contenders divided by region: West, South, Midwest, and East. Within each region we picked our top 16 taco contenders which we then narrowed down to four winners from each region to enter the Sweet 16. The regions were split up into mostly obvious clusters of states, though some gerrymandering needed to occur to make sure the division of taco awesomeness was more fair for each region.
Taco Criteria
For the purposes of this search, we didn't discriminate based on style of taco. A $9 taco from a famous chef competed side-by-side with a $1 taco from a roadside truck. That said, there are a few things every taco should have in common, and those are the criteria by which we judged.
- The Tortillas (15 points): Just like a great sandwich must start with great bread, you can't make a good taco without a good tortilla. Soft corn tortillas should be warmed through completely with just a hint of spotty char on its surface. It should be soft and pliant, not stale or brittle. Flour tortillas should be warm and steamy, with just a hint of stretch and chew. Other types of shells, like deep fried corn shells or puffy taco shells will be judged on their own individual merits.
- The Filling(s) (20 points): Whatever the choice of filling, it should be moist and flavorful, well salted, and either tender enough or chopped finely enough that you can bite into a taco without dragging half a cow out from between the folded tortilla. Obviously, the meat should taste fresh and relatively gristle-free. Fattiness is generally a good thing here. What we're reallly looking for is flavor.
- The Toppings (10 points): Here the judgment well depend on the style. A good Mexican style taco needs nothing more than chopped onions and cilantro, a squeeze of lime, and an intense but not overpowering salsa. For other styles of tacos, we'll ask ourselves, do the toppings work well with the fillings? Is everything bright, fresh and flavorful?
- Integrity (10 points): There's nothing worse than a taco that splits apart and falls onto your plate (or worse, your lap) halfway through. Are the tortillas robust enough to stand up to a juicy filling? Are the tortillas double stacked when necessary?
- The TTE (Total Taco Experience, 20 points): This one is tough to define. It's about how the whole thing shakes down. Does the setting, the service, the food all come together to give you an experience that's more than the sum of its parts? Here's where our own discretion really comes into play. A great taco served in an airport lounge ain't going to taste as delicious as the exact same taco served on a paper plate on a beautiful day served out the side of a truck eaten at a highway-side picnic table. A perfect fish taco served on the ocean in San Diego is better than a perfect fish taco served in a cocktail bar in New York. This synergistic effect must be taken into account.
Favorite Tacos on the East Coast
We're not going to lie: as any West Coast or Southwestern transplant can tell you, finding great tacos on the East Coast is no easy task, but it's not impossible. You just have to be willing to go a bit off the beaten path. Head to neighborhoods with large Mexican immigrant populations and the trucks hanging out on street corners. The east coast is where we also found some more of the high-end chefs making everything from the ultra-traditional to the far more rarefied taco.

Which 4 Made it to the Sweet 16?
Carnitas from La Vaquita: You can't miss this spot from the road: a giant cow beckons you from its rooftop. Their soft corn tortillas are homemade with a moistness matched only by their carnitas, which are crisp, fatty, and deeply porky. Order a couple from the takeout window, spoon on some of their fiery red salsa, and pull up a bench at one of the communal picnic tables out front where locals and travelers take a welcome break in the shade.

Chorizo from Tacos Matamoros: Of all the taquerias and taco trucks in the Sunset Park neighborhood of Brooklyn, Tacos Matamoros is our faovirte. Little bits of warmly spiced sausage crisp up on the griddle in this sit-down Mexican eatery. Whatever fat was in there melts into a warm, spicy, buttery-rich spread by the time it hits the tortilla. It's rich, but a squeeze of lime and a spoonful of bright salsa verde perfectly cuts the intensity.

Lengua from Don Nacho: You won't find much by way of creature comforts in Don Nacho's parking lot location, but you couldn't ask for better beef tongue; braised until meltingly tender then crisped up on a hot comal, it's got the deep beef flavor of a perfect steak, but with the tender-crisp contrast that only great tongue will get you.

Chorizo and Papas from La Verdad: Located in the shadows of Fenway Park, the tequila bar at this sit-down restaurant can be packed with game-goers come Sox season. Dodge the crowds, the waiters and the wait, and instead head straight for the take-out window. Any taco you order comes atop a mini made-from-scratch tortilla. But the taco that knocks it out of the park is the Chorizo and Papas: Plump bits of ground pork sausage seasoned with a slew of warming spices like cinnamon, allspice and ground chile are served over tender potatoes that act like a sponge to soak up the sauce and grease. On top, thin slices of pickled red onion and a tart salsa verde.

I hate to admit it (what with everything I know about the dos and don'ts of keeping hair healthy) but I am addicted to the flat iron and I have the frayed ends and fly aways to prove it. So I was immediately intrigued by a new service being offered at select Redken salons which promises to condition hair while flat ironing it.
Here's how it works: after a wash and shampoo, hair is blow-dried until it's about 90% dry. Then, a new steam iron developed by Redken and Rowenta, called Steam Infusion, is passed through hair. The continuous steam helps the Redken conditioning treatments penetrate better, leaving hair stronger, softer, and shinier. Dax at Cutler Salon in NYC used the Redken Smooth Lock Shampoo and Conditioner as well as the Smooth Lock Stay Sleek leave-in treatment on my multi-texutred hair (which, by the way, tamed my mane some even before the blowdryer came out) and then the Diamond Oil Shatterproof Shine Intense right before flat ironing.
I LOVE this treatment, which makes me feel slightly less guilty about all the heat. And don't let the constant steam scare you—I kept having visions of the girl who lost a chunk of freshly curled hair to her curling iron on You Tube while I was in the chair myself—but there was no need; it was all good! If you love a sleek, shiny look, you should try this.
Visit Redken's website to find a salon that offers the Steam Infusion service.

The Chicago co-author of the book "How to Survive the Bulls of Pamplona" was gored Wednesday during the annual Running of the Bulls in the Spanish city, but even that hasn't deterred him.
Bill Hillman was gored in the right leg after tripping in the street and suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries after the horn missed slicing through a bone or major artery.
"I survived. I'm here, I'm alive," Hillman said from his hospital bed in Spain. "Getting gored isn't out of the ordinary for a runner."
Hillman co-wrote his book with John Hemingway, the grandson of writer Ernest Hemingway, who immortalized the event in his 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises," and the father of Michael Hemingway, who was photographing the event and saw the accident happen.
U.S. & World
"I feel like I've had an incredible experience," he said.
Hillman's section of the book is a detailed guide through each stage of the 930-yard course from a holding pen to Pamplona's bull ring. He said he'd like to add more to the book after his experience.
It offers tips on how to dive for safety when a bull goes "suelto" and separates from the pack. That's an especially dangerous moment when the lone bull loses its herding instinct and "sees all runners as predators," he wrote.
That's exactly what happened Wednesday.
British matador Alexander Fiske-Harrison, a friend who edited the book, said Hillmann was using a rolled-up newspaper to try to lure the lone bull away from others in the crowd, something expert runners do.
"He took it on and that's when it gored him," Fiske-Harrison said in a phone interview from Pamplona.
Hillmann has had close calls before. He writes in the book that he was nearly killed one year when he slipped in front of a bull.
Fiske-Harrison said Hillmann was in good spirits as he was being wheeled into surgery, "but that might be because he was on a lot of painkillers."
Later, the bull was killed along with the five others in the bullfight that follows the running.
"It was weird seeing the bull come out with my friend's blood still on the horn," Fiske-Harrison said.
Bill Hillmann grew up in the Rogers Park and Edgewater areas on Chicago's North Side and channeled his energy into boxing, becoming a Golden Gloves heavyweight champion for Chicago in 2002. Later, he turned to writing and just published a semi-autobiographical novel, "The Old Neighborhood," about coming of age in Chicago gang territory.
The injury appeared to be another incident in a string of misfortunes Hillman has endured. He posted on his Facebook page on Sunday that he'd recently misplaced his passport, laptop computer, and medication.
Revelers from around the world head to Pamplona every year to take part in some of the eight days of the running of the bulls glorified by Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel "The Sun Also Rises."
The incident occurred days before an American version of the event is set to take place in the Chicago area.
Around 4,000 thrill-seekers have signed up for The Great Bull Run at Hawthorne Race Course in south suburban Stickney Saturday. Event organizers say they won't be using the hyper-aggressive bulls used in the Spanish version.
"If they want to test themselves, not against simulated danger like a roller coaster or a horror movie, but against real danger. Staring at a 1,500-pound bull -- or 18 of them -- in the face," event organizer Rob Dickens said.
Unlike the Spanish version of the event, the Hawthorne bull run will incorporate a safety fence that participants can climb. Riders on horses will also follow the bull and can lasso the animals in case one gets too aggressive.
Last year, officials from the Humane Society of the United States requested an investigation into what they called an "unlicensed event," and complained the running of the bulls is a danger to the animals.

Good nutrition is important at any age to maintain a healthy body. It is especially important for aging seniors to sustain proper weight and good health while avoiding chronic conditions such as diabetes. The National Resource Center on Nutrition & Aging reports that one out of every four seniors suffers from poor nutrition. By making key dietary changes, seniors can improve nutrition levels for better body health, even in advanced years.
As the body changes and slows during the senior years, dietary modifications become necessary to compensate for slower metabolisms, health conditions, and loss of certain body functions such as the ability to absorb vitamin B-12. Older adults often must adjust diets regarding food selection and intake. Certain power foods become more essential in the diet to help with a senior's digestive system and immune system. Here are some older adult nutritional guidelines for healthier eating.
Combat Slower Metabolisms with Protein-Rich Diets
Seniors often complain of slower metabolisms contributing to weight gain. Reduced muscle mass, lack of exercise, poor sleep and an aging body contribute to lower metabolism. Lessened activity, especially, can slow metabolism as it is responsible for burning 10 to 30 % of daily calories.
Dieting is not the answer. In fact, reducing caloric intake can further slow metabolism. Instead, seniors should eat more foods that benefit their bodies. Switching to a diet rich in protein can help combat a slowing metabolism by protecting the body from lost muscle mass. Consuming 25 to 30% of daily calories from protein can boost metabolism. Eating more frequent smaller meals with intermittent snacks also helps stave off hunger that lowers metabolism. Strength training also boosts the metabolism.
Seniors and their caregivers can add protein to every meal or to create a healthy snack. Here are some good sources of protein:
Grams of Protein
1 cup
Chicken breast
3.5 ounces
Greek yogurt
6 ounces
Turkey breast
3 ounces
Cottage cheese
3 ounces
6.5 ounces
Brussel sprouts
½ cup

Increase Calcium Intake to Maintain Bone Health
Maintaining bone strength is critical for mature adults in the prevention of falls and fractures. Calcium and vitamin D are key ingredients for bone health. The body needs vitamin D to absorb calcium. Unfortunately, older men and women often are vitamin D deficient due to lower dietary calcium intake, limited sun exposure as well as the body's decreased ability to absorb calcium. In addition, aging skin synthesizes vitamin D at a lower rate.
The Mayo Clinic recommends that men between the ages of 50 – 70 consume 1,000 mg of calcium while women over age 51 consume 1,200 mg. Dietary intake is the best way to meet these daily totals. Meals for seniors should include three daily servings of calcium-rich foods and beverages that includes a mix of fortified cereals, fruit, dark green leafy vegetables, beans, canned fish with soft bones, and milk. Here's a listing of some calcium-rich foots to add to the diet.
Estimated Mg of Calcium
Frozen collard greens
8 oz
Broccoli rabe
Frozen kale
Cooked broccoli
Canned sardines, with bone
3 oz
Part-skim ricotta
4 oz
Low-fat plain yogurt
6 oz
Milk, skim, low-fat, whole
Yogurt with fruit, low-fat
Orange juice fortified with calcium
Cereal, fortified
100 - 10000

Super Foods That Power the Body
Certain foods pack a bigger punch to health than others. Including them in a senior's diet adds a variety of tastes, textures and colors to meals as well as different health benefits. Here are a few super foods for healthy aging.
Foods have a dramatic effect on senior health. Aging bodies may require fewer calories, but demand more protein, calcium, and other nutrients to remain healthy. Even small dietary changes can benefit an aging adult. Swapping out sugary snacks and drinks with foods with greater health value can improve health while managing weight. As seniors lose interest in meals due to changes in their sense of taste and smell, introducing new options might encourage better eating habits. Remember, we are what we eat.

There is no better feeling for a Jewish mom than clearing out those half filled bags and containers of oatmeal,assorted nuts, sesame seeds, apricots and dried cranberries that lay around our freezers and pantries from month to month. Inspired by Susie Fishbein's Kids in the Kitchen, I whipped up an easy batch of yummy granola in about 7 minutes. (not including baking time). I really like this recipe because there is very little oil, which is not common for most granola recipes.
This is Susie Fishbeins recipe- but to be honest, since I never folow directions, I added sesame seeds, dried apricots, and any nut that I wanted to get rid of.
That kind of made it look a dot dry ,so I poured in a drop of extra maple syrup and maybe another drop of safflower oil.
Dont worry- it came out great!
Relax, You dont always have to follow the rules!!!
- 1 1/2 cups oatmeal
- 1/2 cups raw sunflower seeds
- 1/2 cup craisins or dried cranberries
- 1/4 cup any nut
- 1/4 cup chopped any other nut
- 1/4 chopped any other nut
- 4 tbsp dark brown sugar
- 4 tbsp pure maple syrup
- 1 tsp pure vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp vegetable oil
- 1/4 tsp salt
- Combine dry
- Whisk wet
- Pour mixture onto parchment paper sprayed with Pam (onto a pan of course)
- Bake for 15 minutes at 350 degrees stirring once midway
- Wait for it to cool to break into pieces
If you know that your family will love it then double the recipe!

World Series Forecast
Here are the forecaster's problems.
The Detroit Tigers' pitching dominance over the New York Yankees – the .144 OBA over four gruesome games – is not the indicator that you might think. The Yankees have been aging rapidly for three seasons, and they had just barely scratched out a victory over a Baltimore team without line-up depth or a dominant starting pitcher. Joe Girardi made a fateful remark in mid-series, about how his hitters had to "adjust" – manager-speak for telling them they had to stop going up there expecting the room service fastballs they would get from 60% of the pitchers they faced during the regular season. Yes, the Tiger pitching was superb. Yes, we all spent too much time talking about the Yanks' demise. But between the two extremes it is almost impossible to get a good gauge on just how good the survivors are.
The Giants' comebacks against the Reds and Cardinals were historic and epic. And they are also not the indicators you might think. Both losing teams have a lot of talent but neither was a juggernaut and the fact is that San Francisco's valiant efforts have deranged their own rotation. It is stand-up-and-cheer heart-warming to see Marco Scutaro and Barry Zito finally make a World Series but it is imperative to remember that they are not going to win the World Series by themselves. 2012 was the second time in his career that the 36-year old Scutaro has batted better than .282 in a major league season and the third time he has hit more than one homer in a major league season.
As to Zito, the Giants could not have done it without him but his 15 wins divided up as follows:
Zito Vs. Playoff Teams (4-2)
Vs. Atlanta Braves 2-0
Vs. Oakland A's 1-0
Vs. St. Lou. Cards 1-0
Vs. Tex. Rangers 0-1
Vs. Cin. Reds 0-1
Zito Vs. Non-Playoff Teams (11-6)
Vs. Az D-Backs 4-0
Vs. LA Dodgers 3-2
Vs. Col. Rockies 2-0
Vs. Chi. Cubs 1-0
Vs. Pitt. Pirates 1-0
Vs. Mil. Brewers 0-1
Vs. L.A. Angels 0-1
Vs. Hou. Astros 0-1
Vs. N.Y. Mets 0-1
These are the simplest of analytics here but they are offered simply to imply one fact about the World Series: drop the story lines of the first two rounds of the playoffs, and judge the Classic on who has the better, sounder team.
The Tigers have a confused bullpen, which reduces it to the level of the Giants when Santiago Casilla failed – and the Giants fixed that situation within hours with Sergio Romo. The Giants have a confused rotation, and you can't straighten that out in anything less than a week. The Tigers have the kind of offense that is not seen by National League pitchers and its most potent bats (Cabrera and Fielder) live to butcher off-speed left-hand pitching like Zito.
There is also Justin Verlander in this equation and if the Giants can't stop him at least once, the Fister/Sanchez/Scherzer trio have only to produce two solid starts.
I'm thinking the Tigers could do this in five. If the Giants stage an upset – especially if they come from behind to do it – they will earn (and I will happily crown them) the single-season comeback kings of the game's modern history. Unless one of the troubled starters (Lincecum? Bumgarner? turns in an MVP-level performance, I just don't think they have a path to do it this time.

I may have missed it, but if not, will you do a column on the new Red Sox Manager?
With all due respect, love your politics, and miss your intellect and point of view on the t.v., but you couldn't be more wrong about the 2012 World Series. It will be the Giants in six. I accept liberal or conservative bias as a way of life in the US. But east coast bias when it comes to baseball will not be tolerated! Cheers, Keith. Hope to see you hosting your own show soon.
Great points, Keith. I'd love to say I have a point of view on this one but I'm on the fence. Usually it irritates me not to have an opinion. It will be a solid series either way.
Oh my! That's a tough one to decide. My eight ball is stuck, the tarot cards are scattered, and my Ouija board is tilted so I really can't depend on any of them to predict this outcome. My best guess would be my instinct which isn't very sharp concerning baseball but here goes…
The Tigers may be at a disadvantage in that they've had a lot of 'down-time' because of their early win over the Yankees. Also they really didn't have much of a competition with the Yankees who are dwindling, especially in batting. Being treated to an early victory was not to their advantage. This may cause some lag in the first game, but they do have some come back power.
If on the other hand, the Giants come out swinging and gain an early lead in runs, they usually do better. That's a big if. The momentum is with them since they are coming off that dramatic win against the Cardinals. They did prevail against them in their winning streak. But can they maintain that sort of energy and momentum?
I say the Tigers might come on in the first couple of games. This might inspire the Giants to fight harder and do their winning ways again. I hope the Giants will come back strong. But I wouldn't begrudge the Tigers either. May the best team win and I am looking forward to the contest!
If we have three Verlander/Zito match-ups, the Tigers will only need to get lucky for one out of the other four games, If Cain wins both his starts, it gives the Gigantes 2 Ws against three Verlander Ws; that's a 3-2 score with 2 games left; the G's will need to win both, while Da-trite needs one out of two for the magic #4…
That looks like the Tigers in 6 games.
Go Giants!
Keith tends to write off the Giants (like he did with Vogelsong being chosen as a 2011 All-Star). In March I predicted the Giants would beat the Yankees in 7, avenging their 1962 loss fifty years later (no Bobby Richardson in the bottom of the 9th this time). By Yankees, I actually meant Phil Coke and Austin Jackson. Just kidding. Remember, the Yankees hit .201 against the Rangers in 2010 and the Rangers hit over .300– then Texas ran into the Giants. As for the Yankees getting old– did they age 20 years in 2 weeks? They were playing good baseball in September. And a lot of the lineups struggled in the playoffs. The Giants (other than Panda and Scutaro) did. So it's not about old age. It's just baseball. Go Giants!
Meh. Go Giants!
Miss you, Keith. 😉
BASEBALL BASEBALL BASEBALL! Talk about BASEBALL or go away. Please… this is a great blog about baseball. I beg you, go away… baseball.
so tigers are gonna win the next 4?
there is no stat for heart
something that the great verlander doesnt have and the giants have tons of
This blog has officially been hijacked. We are now en route to Cuba. Fasten your safety belts. Put trays in upright positions. Someone please call the Blog po-po. Go Giants! 🙂
Look, this is a site about baseball. If Bill O'Reilly loved baseball and did baseball posts that said nothing about politics, what he says should be treated on its merits. So why don't the morons who come here to attack Olbermann go back to their KKK meetings and leave the rest of us alone so we can enjoy the greatest game?
ko proves once again that he knows jack shit about baseball
i expect a full printed apology and a promise never to write about the sport again
upset? you dick
"For these two reasons alone (we haven't even mentioned Cliff Lee) I like the Rangers and fast: five or six games." – Keith Olbermann, October 25, 2010
"I'm thinking the Tigers could do this in five." – Keith Olbermann, October 23,2012
As mentioned previously, the continuing problem here is picking the team with the best PLAYERS as opposed to picking the team with the best TEAM.
Try to avoid the hat trick.
John, it's always fun when the experts are wrong. And I don't say this to knock Keith. But there was no WAY the Giants were supposed to sweep the Tigers. As a real expert, Yogi, once said, good pitching stops good hitting, and vice versa.
Well Keith,
You forgot an important ingredient when you forecast the World Series outcome; you forgot to include heart in the equation, and as we all witnessed, the SF Giants have a TON of Heart. SF lays down for no team. GO GIANTS!!!!
Emerson, A Huge Giants fan and a Keith fan (except when you diss the Giants).
As a 50 year Giants fan, I want to thank the team for the wild ride!
And, thanks fo faux sports for the barrage of promos, plugs and non-baseball bull. It cheapened the broadcast as much as the lame announcers.. .
That is why I record the game, delay starting to watch, so I can fast forward through the Fox Bullshit. 37 minuted of commercials and talking heads before the first pitch is thrown. At least they did not constantly put down the Giants and San Francisco, like they did in 2010; totally out of place in baseball, keep your politics to your Faux news (AKA Republican Re-election Central).
fox, who on their fake news channel, like to go out of their way to attack people for being unamerican, for four nights, turned the anthem into a commercial…nice
Dear god. If this is the level of interest in the Giants-Tigers WS, no wonder the ratings sucked! Thank you for the pre-emptive crowning of the Giants as comeback champs – now they're WS champs. As for your prediction, Bumgarner had a terrific start and what about Lincecum out of the pen? Back to the Timmy of old. Cain's no decision in the Series was a typical Cain game – well-pitched, the best hitter got him once, the Giants gave him terrific defense but not quite enough run support for the win. He'd have long since been a 20 game winner and a Cy Young nominee with decent run support over the years.
To the three (I think it was that many!) commenters who responded to the post, thank you, and I hope the Giants victory was interesting to you. The rest of you? If you don't give a good goddamn about baseball, get the hell out of my pixels!
Thank you, there is way too little baseball and way to much BS in the comments section of this Baseball Blog. Go GIANTS!!!
Giants sweep. Nice call KO. SF best organization in MLB. Seriously, but East Coast will never recognize such. Wish you still on MSNBC.
Tim, San Francisco
Tim, you should be lording it over all of us! But this World Series was also a reminder that pitching and defense are really what matters.
And remember we lived through the same just two years ago, so we knew what was possible. Though to be down 0-2 and then 1-3 sure was tough on the heart…
SF GIANTS never say die. Teamwork Rules; thank god we got over the Bonds era in SF and got back to team baseball. That is what beat the Pirates, teamwork. Did you get a load of Prince Fielders reactions? Priceless! That is the difference between having some "super stars", out for themselves and some "Quiet Super Stars" who play for their Teammates and their Team (like Buster Posey, Matt Cain, etc.) and go about their business and play good baseball.
These pretzels are making me thirsty
Just like we all knew the democrats were going to win, despite all the fixing of the elections done by the other side, the republicans remained delusional. Similarly the giants fans knew they were going to win this one. You made a good case for Detroit, but in hindsight you can re-evaluate, hopefully better than the right wing is re-evaluating. They are still delusional. I know that you are not. You made a logical case for Detroit. At least it was not a case made from a literal interpretation of the new testament.
Wow, that's what I was looking for, what a material! existing here at this webpage, thanks admin of this site.

Prosecutors will seek involuntary manslaughter charges against the doctor suspected of giving Michael Jackson a lethal dose of sedative, The Associated Press reported.
Dr. Conrad Murray, who had been hired to help the troubled singer prepare for a marathon London concert series, was at the 50-year-old singer's rented mansion when paramedics arrived on June 25, finding him unconscious. Suspicion has swirled around the doctor, who had offices in Las Vegas and Houston, ever since. Investigators have searched his home, offices and a storage locker he used.
A law enforcement source told the AP Murray will be prosecuted on a theory of gross negligence. The indictment will be sought as soon as cops in Los Angeles, where Jackson died, make their case to the district attorney.
U.S. & World
Jackson's sister Janet said in November she blames Murray for the King of Pop's death.
"He was the one that was administering," Janet told ABC's Robin Roberts in an interview airing on November 18. "I think he is responsible."
Murray is suspected of giving Jackson Propofol, a sedative used as an anesthetic in emergency rooms. Jackson reportedly begged for the drug, which he called his "milk," because he believed it was the only way for him to get to sleep. Murray, a 56-year-old cardiologist, was being paid $150,000 a week to be Jackson's personal doctor.
On the morning Jackson was found dead, Murray tried to get Jackson to sleep using other sedatives, including Valium, lorazepam and midazolam, according to an affidavit authorities swore out for a warrant to search Murray's property. But he finally gave in to the singer's pleas for Propofol at 10:40 a.m. Murray has admitted that he left the singer alone to attend to personal business, including three phone calls totaling 47 minutes, only to return and find him not breathing, according to the affidavit.

A few days ago I asked a similar question about Krull dimension and got fantastic answers. Unfortunately, for the application I have in mind (a question on ring spectra), Krull dimension doesn't generalize correctly. One must instead use right global dimension, or just global dimension since my ring object is commutative. Note that this has a similar title, but totally different content from another question (different because my $v$ does not generate a maximal ideal). I'm looking for a theorem of the form
If R is a nice ring and v is a reasonable element in R then Gl.Dim($R[1/v]$) must be either Gl.Dim($R$) or Gl.Dim($R$)−1.
By "nice ring" I mean $R$ is commutative and is finitely generated over some base ring (e.g. $Z_{(2)}$), but we should not assume it's an integral domain. If necessary we can assume it's Noetherian and local, but I'd rather avoid this. As for $v$, it's a non-zero divisor which is not in the base ring and it has only a few relations with other elements in $R$, none of which are in the base ring. If we can't get the theorem above, perhaps we can figure out something to help me get closer:
Are there any conditions on $v$ such that the dimension would drop by more than 1 after inverting $v$?
Here's what I know (from Weibel and Rotman):
If $f:R \rightarrow S$ is a ring homomorphism and $A$ is a left $S$ module then $pd_R(A)\leq pd_S(A)+pd_R(S)$
If $x$ is a central nonzerodivisor in $R$ and $A$ is a nonzero $R/v$-module with $pd_{R/v}(A)<\infty$ then $pd_R(A)=1+pd_{R/v}(A)$. If $B$ is a nonzero $R$-module then $pd_R(B)\geq pd_{R/v}(B/vB)$
This result gives me some hope because of the short exact sequence $0\rightarrow R\stackrel{\cdot v}{\rightarrow} R \rightarrow R/v \rightarrow 0$, but I don't see an obvious answer coming from this idea alone. One would also need to relate the dimensions of $R/v$ and $v^{-1}R$.
If $A$ is a projective $R$-module then $v^{-1}A$ is a projective $v^{-1}R$ module. According to this paper, injective dimension is not well behaved under localization (but this seems to be because the localization of an injective module need not be injective).

Another year gone by, and this blog neglected for what seems like eons. I am most definitely still around, and I'd love to share some updates with my dear readers, FAQ style. If there's anything else you'd like to know, ask away in the comments! Bar any inappropriateness, I will answer your questions.
Q: Are you still displaced from Hurricane Sandy?
A: Nope! We moved back to our home in Long Island City after almost five months of being displaced, and our building is well on its way to recovery. We are so blessed to have Tim's sister live so close by, and they generously gave us space in their home for the entire time. We gained so much perspective during that time, and I do feel like God used the storm to show us just how much He cares for us.
Q: Wow! What was it like living with your in-laws for so long?
A: I'm not exaggerating the least bit when I say it was so much fun. It was like one really long slumber party. We had a lot of movie nights, I enjoyed having people to cook for, and then there was the dog that brought so much joy each day. Plus, we experienced first-hand the transformation of their beautiful new apartment! If you need home inspiration ideas, check out my sister-in-law's blog. Chris and Jenn, we don't thank you enough for all that you did for us. Not many people could stand living with their in-laws for a little while, much less five full months. Thanks for sharing your home when we needed one.
Q: Are you still baking?
A: Yes! Once we moved back into the apartment and got full use of our gas and electricity, I've been giving my oven some much needed attention. I've been baking mostly comfort desserts, which to me are chocolate chip cookies and green tea mochi cake. During the long break from baking, I've made quite a list of projects I want to try, so I will be baking a lot more this year.
Q: I heard something you changing jobs–what are you doing now?
A: You heard right, and I quit my job earlier in the year. Instead of selling enterprise software, I have made a huge decision to launch my wedding planning business, Savour Weddings. It's been quite the journey since I started helping friends out with their weddings some six years ago, and I believe that this is the perfect job for me at the moment. There is nothing like the end of a wedding, after the couple has been sent off to start their marriage by all their friends and families–I relish in that moment and will work so hard to ensure that happens at every wedding.
Q: Are you going to get back to blogging?
A: Yes, yes, yes. I'm back in my home, I've got a flexible work schedule, and I've been baking and cooking. I would love to continue blogging my baking projects, but I may include some cooking and other related posts as well. I miss my blogger friends and readers, and I am sorry I've been away for so long.
Q: So what all happened in 2012?
A: I'll answer this question with an Instagram recap. Here are some memorable moments from the year:
To celebrate our 5th anniversary (and Texas Independence Day), Tim and I served Frito Pies to over 200 people at church! What a joy to bring a little bit of Texas culture to NY.
We lived with little Wonka for 5 months, and there's nothing like the warm welcome from a dog when you come home back work. We'd love to get our own dog, but we consider this one almost like our own. (Chris and Jenn just don't know it.)
I traveled to Thailand this summer, mostly to spend time with family, especially my ill grandmothers. A month later, my paternal grandmother, Khun Ya, breathed her last breath. I cherish the time I got to spend with her, and I'm glad she's not suffering any longer.
Breaking Bad had its last season, and I celebrated my birthday Walter-White-style. Minus the whole drug empire thing, of course.
And then there were all the weddings I worked! Yuna and Addison's wedding featured a relaxed Brooklyn brunch, and they taught me that the best is certainly yet to come. I look forward to an awesome 2014!!

Qemu - a processor emulator
Qemu is now available for unslung through the feeds. At present we only have support for emulating intel i386 processors. This will, however, be the most useful way to use qemu, as it allows you to run binaries that have been built for common desktop gnu/linux distributions on the slug.
NB: Qemu needs a swap file to work
Qemu consists of several packages:
Quick start:
Now copy a binary from your gnu/linux i386-based desktop onto your slug, and run:
qemu-i386 <name of your binary here>
Start with some binary that with minimal dependencies, such as /usr/bin/cal.
If "ipkg install qemu-libc-i386" reports a segfault during installation, the most likely cause of this is a lack of pagefile on the NSLU2
BrianZhou and Mwester were all able to install successfully as they had swap enabled on their NSLU2 hard drives, but I (Reedy Boy) had swap disabled due to using a 512mb Memory Stick
To fix it, You need a swap file!!

- Nonequilibrium models (three-fluid hydrodynamics, UrQMD, and quark molecular dynamics) are used to discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions from the SPS via RHIC to LHC. It is demonstrated that these models - although they do treat the most interesting early phase of the collisions quite differently (thermalizing QGP vs. coherent color fields with virtual particles) -- all yield a reasonable agreement with a large variety of the available heavy ion data. Hadron/hyperon yields, including J/Psi meson production/suppression, strange matter formation, dileptons, and directed flow (bounce-off and squeeze-out) are investigated. Observations of interesting phenomena in dense matter are reported. However, we emphasize the need for systematic future measurements to search for simultaneous irregularities in the excitation functions of several observables in order to come close to pinning the properties of hot, dense QCD matter from data. The role of future experiments with the STAR and ALICE detectors is pointed out.
- Critical review of quark gluon plasma signatures (1999)
- Noneequilibrium models (three-fluid hydrodynamics and UrQMD) use to discuss the uniqueness of often proposed experimental signatures for quark matter formation in relativistic heavy ion collisions. It is demonstrated that these two models - although they do treat the most interesting early phase of the collisions quite differently(thermalizing QGP vs. coherent color fields with virtual particles) - both yields a reasonable agreement with a large variety of the available heavy ion data.
- Dissociation of expanding c anti-c states in heavy ion collisions (1999)
- We study J/psi suppression in AB collisions assuming that the charmonium states evolve from small, color transparent configurations. Their interaction with nucleons and nonequilibrated, secondary hadrons is simulated using the microscopic model UrQMD. The Drell-Yan lepton pair yield and the J/psi Drell-Yan ratio are calculated as a function of the neutral transverse energy in Pb+Pb collisions at 160 GeV and found to be in reasonable agreement with existing data.
- Modeling J /Psi production and absorption in a microscopic nonequilibrium approach (1999)
- Charmonium production and absorption in heavy ion collisions is studied with the Ultrarelativisitic Quantum Molecular Dynamics model. We compare the scenario of universal and time independent color-octet dissociation cross sections with one of distinct color-singlet J/psi, psi 2 and CHIc states, evolving from small, color transparent configurations to their asymptotic sizes. The measured J/psi production cross sections in pA and AB collisions at SPS energies are consistent with both purely hadronic scenarios. The predicted rapidity dependence of J/psi suppression can be used to discriminate between the two experimentally. The importance of interactions with secondary hadrons and the applicability of thermal reaction kinetics to J/psi absorption are in- vestigated. We discuss the e ect of nuclear stopping and the role of leading hadrons. The dependence of the 2/J/psi ratio on the model assumptions and the possible influence of refeeding processes is also studied.

A Father Reflects On Strength And Meeting His Match
Robert Stover grew up in the late 1930s, and as he remembers, he never really had a hometown.
"My father was a salesman with the Hoover vacuum cleaner company. He could move into a city and sell out its potential fairly rapidly. So I lived all over," Stover tells his daughter, Valerie Anderson.
Making friends wasn't easy.
"When I would get to a new town, everybody had to see who could whip the new boy," Robert says. "I was willing to stipulate that they all could — including the females. But it had to be proven."
"If you're born puny but born bright, teachers tend to like you and they call on you a lot. And I was so stupid as to volunteer the answer when one of the other kids couldn't."
And a boy named Buffalo Kowalski didn't care for that, he says. "He was very sturdy, very big for that age. That's how he got the name Buffalo; he was built like a damn buffalo. He used to beat me up going to school, at recess, coming home," Robert says. "And I had no chance against him."
One day, he remembers, he happened to be taking a Gene Autry cap pistol to class, and in desperation, as Buffalo was hammering him, he swung it and hit him in the face. "And I broke his nose. He thought it was a good move. You know, he said, 'Way to go, boy!' He quit beating me up, and I got to know him. He wasn't that bad a fellow."
"Daddy, you were always very strong," Valerie says. "But I have to say, my mother was equally strong."
Beautiful, but scrawny and strong-willed — that's how Robert describes his wife, Kay. "When we bought this farm, we had people who paid monthly rent. But typically, they would be behind a month or two, so Kay said she would go out and get the cash. She said, 'You're too damn nice to those people,' " Robert says. "So she took her revolver, strapped it on, went out and got the payment on time." From then on, she collected it.
"She was my match," Robert says. "Some days, she was more than my match."

World's First Hello Kitty Spa Opens In Dubai
Filed Under (Nature n Places) at 6/22/2012 03:07:00 PM
|Newly opened in Dubai's Jumeriah Town Centre - Dubai, the Hello Kitty Beauty Spa
caters to both young girls and women alike with a variety of treatments
ranging from hand massages to "kitty-cures." Ratings of "queen" and
"princess" denote if the treatment is meant for kids or adults.
More of a beauty salon and less of a true day spa, the treatments focus on the aesthetic – haircuts, blowouts, up-dos and mani pedis – than the true "spa" treatments like facials or body massages. But, if you want, you can get the famed Hello Kitty "Kitty White" character painted on your nails, or snack on an organic cupcake post-treatment at the cafe.

"You guys" could have asked someone from within the "organization" to kill "this guy". Someone from within the "organization" would already be on the payroll, so "you guys" wouldn't have had to hire someone to kill "this guy".
3. You guys should have killed him. - This means that it was advisable, or a good idea, for "you guys" to kill "him", but for some reason "you guys" didn't do it.
2. You guys should have had killed him. - This is not correct.
to have "someone" do something - Here, "have" is being used as a causative verb. It is used with the past modal form "should have + past participle". In this case the past participle is "had", which is also the verb. The object pronoun "him" should follow "had".
should have had him killed
Here's another example so that you can compare.
Your car is going to cost more money to fix now. You should have had it checked out as soon as you thought something was wrong.
You should have had it checked out. - correct
You should have had checked it out. - not correct
Here, the object pronoun also has to follow the causative verb "had", which is a past participle following "should have" - should have had it checked out
