Behind six homers, Bucs to host NL Wild Card Game
Walker leads barrage with two blasts as playoffs return to his hometown
CINCINNATI -- Sixty years after Rosey Rowswell would tell KDKA radio listeners "Open the window, Aunt Minnie, here it comes" when a Pirates player hit a home run, Pittsburgh can open its hearts because the Pirates are running home.
Well, not running, which would take too long and not get them back to PNC Park in time to host Tuesday night's National League Wild Card Game against Cincinnati.
The Pirates arranged for their city's first postseason affair since Game 5 of the 1992 NL Championship Series with Saturday's 8-3 win over the Reds.
"The important part for me is getting these guys home and playing in a park where they won 50 games -- and giving our fans a taste of postseason baseball," manager Clint Hurdle said after win No. 93 clinched the No. 1 NL Wild Card. "That's significant."
"It's going to be a really exciting time. I imagine it will be Steelers-esque," said Neil Walker who, like other kids in Pittsburgh, grew up fantasizing about playoff baseball and on Saturday took two swings at making it happen.
Aunt Minnie would've had to just keep her window open for this one, as the Pirates clocked six homers -- the first five off Cincinnati starter Bronson Arroyo -- to tie the Great American Ball Park visitors' house record.
Included was the first two-homer game of Walker's career. Walker sounded liftoff with a solo homer in the third and snapped a 3-3 tie in the fifth with his 16th of the season.
"But absolutely not did I think we were on our way. Not in this ballpark," Walker said. "You're not safe until the last out in places like this. It was nice to be ahead."
Also going long were Andrew McCutchen -- following Walker's third-inning blast for the Pirates' fifth case of back-to-back homers -- Pedro Alvarez, Marlon Byrd and Andrew Lambo.
For Alvarez, it was No. 36 of the season, tying Paul Goldschmidt of Arizona for the NL lead while pushing his RBI total into triple digits. For Lambo, it was No. 1 of his career.
All but Lambo's -- off right-handed reliever Logan Ondrusek in the sixth -- were off Arroyo, the first time he had surrendered five home runs in his 392-game career.
"He was missing over the heart of the plate," Cincinnati manager Dusty Baker said. "His balls were a little bit up and a little bit in the middle. The one that really hurt was the one that Byrd hit. He had him one ball, two strikes. There were two outs in the inning. Byrd has been a thorn in our side. That's a key late season acquisition by them. He's been a big acquisition late in the year."
Byrd's two-run blow closely followed Walker's second home run and opened up a 6-3 lead.
"That was huge, giving us some breathing room," Walker said.
Complying with his streak-hitter reputation, Walker has hit six of his 16 homers in the last nine games and is batting .324 overall across that stretch.
"We've known all along he's capable of doing that, when he gets rolling," Hurdle said. "It adds depth to our offense. He's continued to fight through a lot of challenges."
The six home runs tied a record for visitors set on Sept. 9, 2007, by the Brewers and first equaled earlier this season on June 5 by the Rockies. Even with the firepower, there was room for pitching heroics. Little of it came from starter Charlie Morton, who was not at his sharpest -- obviously, since he couldn't even last long enough to qualify for the victory, falling two outs short of the five innings.
"Yeah, just wasn't sharp," said Morton, who nonetheless can put into his memory book having started both the game that clinched the Pirates' postseason berth (Monday, in Chicago) and the one that got that first playoff game back home -- although he did not get the decision in either. "Great defense ... great offense. The guys around me did great."
Considering seven three-ball counts to his total of 24 batters, Morton in effect minimized the potential damage against him by limiting Cincinnati to three runs.
It didn't happen without help. The mound main man was Vin Mazzaro, called on to rescue Morton with the bases loaded and one out in the fifth. Entering a game the Bucs led 6-3, that meant each man he faced represented the go-ahead run.
Mazzaro fanned Zack Cozart and then watched McCutchen run down Ryan Hanigan's liner to right-center. The bases were left loaded. Seeing Mazzaro walk off the mound amid stranded baserunners is a familiar sight: He has inherited 32 of them; four have scored.
"You don't get the start you want [from Morton], the bullpen shows up," said Hurdle, once again sounding what has been a common theme this year. "Mazzaro ... just a big, big push from him, the way he held that situation with the bases loaded. He's been as good as anybody we have leaving inherited runners out there. Put three more on the board today."

Chagas (CHAH-gus) disease is an inflammatory, infectious disease caused by the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is found in the feces of the triatomine (reduviid) bug. Chagas disease is common in South America, Central America and Mexico, the primary home of the triatomine bug. Rare cases of Chagas disease have been found in the southern United States, as well.
Also called American trypanosomiasis, Chagas disease can infect anyone. Left untreated, Chagas disease later can cause serious heart and digestive problems.
Treatment of Chagas disease focuses on killing the parasite in acute infection and managing signs and symptoms in later stages. You can take steps to prevent the infection, too.
Chagas disease can cause a sudden, brief illness (acute), or it may be a long-lasting (chronic) condition. Symptoms range from mild to severe, although many people don't experience symptoms until the chronic stage.
The acute phase of Chagas disease, which lasts for weeks or months, is often symptom-free. When signs and symptoms do occur, they are usually mild and may include:
Signs and symptoms that develop during the acute phase usually go away on their own. If left untreated, the infection persists and, in some cases, advances to the chronic phase.
Signs and symptoms of the chronic phase of Chagas disease may occur 10 to 20 years after initial infection, or they may never occur. In severe cases, however, Chagas disease signs and symptoms may include:
See your doctor if you live in or have traveled to an area at risk of Chagas disease and you have signs and symptoms of the condition, such as swelling at the infection site, fever, fatigue, body aches, rash and nausea.
The cause of Chagas disease is the parasite Trypanosoma cruzi, which is transmitted from an insect known as the triatomine bug. These insects can become infected by T. cruzi when they ingest blood from an animal already infected with the parasite.
Triatomine bugs live primarily in mud, thatch or adobe huts in Mexico, South America and Central America. They hide in crevices in the walls or roof during the day, then come out at night — often feeding on sleeping humans.
Infected bugs defecate after feeding, leaving behind T. cruzi parasites on the skin. The parasites can then enter your body through your eyes, mouth, a cut or scratch, or the wound from the bug's bite.
Scratching or rubbing the bite site helps the parasites enter your body. Once in your body, the parasites multiply and spread.
You may also become infected by:
The following factors may increase your risk of getting Chagas disease:
It's rare for travelers to the at-risk areas in South America, Central America and Mexico to contract Chagas disease because travelers tend to stay in well-constructed buildings, such as hotels. Triatomine bugs are usually found in structures built with mud or adobe or thatch.
If Chagas disease progresses to the chronic phase, serious heart or digestive complications may occur. These may include:
If you live in a high-risk area for Chagas disease, these steps can help you prevent infection:
Your doctor will conduct a physical exam, asking about your symptoms and any factors that put you at risk of Chagas disease.
If you have the signs and symptoms of Chagas disease, blood tests can confirm the presence of the T. cruzi parasite or the proteins that your immune system creates (antibodies) to fight the parasite in your blood.
If you're diagnosed with Chagas disease, you'll likely undergo additional tests to determine whether the disease has entered the chronic phase and caused heart or digestive complications. These tests may include:
Treatment for Chagas disease focuses on killing the parasite and managing signs and symptoms.
During the acute phase of Chagas disease, the prescription medications benznidazole and nifurtimox may be of benefit. Although benznidazole is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for use in children ages 2 to 12, it's not yet available in United States pharmacies. Nifurtimox is not currently FDA approved. Both drugs are available in the regions most affected by Chagas disease. In the U.S., however, the drugs can be obtained only through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Once Chagas disease reaches the chronic phase, medications won't cure the disease. But, the drugs may be offered to people younger than age 50 because they may help slow the progression of the disease and its most serious complications.
Additional treatment depends on the specific signs and symptoms:
You're likely to start by seeing your family doctor. Depending on his or her findings, your doctor may refer you to an infectious disease specialist.
It's a good idea to be well-prepared for your appointment. Here's some information to help you get ready for your appointment, and what to expect from your doctor.
Preparing a list of questions will help you make the most of your time with your doctor. For Chagas disease, some basic questions to ask your doctor include:
Your doctor is likely to ask you a number of questions, including:

Brisbane mourns their former MayorSouth San Francisco, CA June 17, 2013
Our thoughts are with the family and friends and the Brisbane community as we have learned of the passing of Steve Waldo, former Mayor & Council member of Brisbane.
"It is with great sadness that we share the news of the death of former Mayor and City Council Member Steve Waldo. Steve passed away the evening of June 16, 2013.
Mayor Ray Miller has ordered the flags at all City of Brisbane facilities to fly at half-staff through sunset on June 23, 2013 in memory of Steve's service to the community.
The Mayor also offered these words about Steve: "Steve Waldo was truly unique among those who served Brisbane on its City Council. He combined the analytical skills of his legal profession with a profound commitment to preserving Brisbane's family-friendly community values. The whole community joins with his family in grieving over the loss of an irreplaceable man."
In learning about Steve's passing, Council Member Clarke Conway stated "it is with great sorrow to hear of Steve's passing, in serving with him on the City Council for 14 years I found him to be creative, civil, have the highest degree of integrity and have a sharp sense of humor. Brisbane has lost a truly special man and he will be missed".
City Manager Clay Holstine remarked similar sentiments, stating, "I am truly saddened by the passing of Steve Waldo. Steve combined intelligence, wit, humor and devotion to the community of Brisbane in an unparalleled manner. Steve was a consummate professional who always dealt with people with patience, respect and an ease of style that is too short of supply. Brisbane was well-served and a better place for Steve's long and outstanding contribution. He will be missed."
Steve resided in Brisbane since August of 1986. He was elected to the Brisbane City Council in August 1989 and was re-elected to two four-year terms in 1993 and 1997. He then ran again unopposed in 2005 to fill a vacancy on Council and was re-elected in 2007. Steve served the City of Brisbane as Mayor a total of four times, from 1990 – 1991, 1995 – 1996, 1999 – 2000, and 2006 – 2007.
As of this writing, it is expected that there will be a memorial service on Sunday, June 23, 2013 at Mission Blue Center (475 Mission Blue Drive, Brisbane) starting at 11:00am. Please stay tuned to the City's website for any updates on memorial events and further recognition for Mr. Waldo."

49ers owner admits the Browns asked about Jim Harbaugh
San Francisco 49ers CEO Jed York said Monday that the Cleveland Browns did inquire about the prospect of trading for 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh, putting a new twist on things after initially saying the story wasn't true.
York told the Sacramento Bee that the Browns called the 49ers in January with the intent of speaking with 49ers offensive coordinator Greg Roman and defensive line coach Jim Tomsula about the Browns coaching vacancy.
During that conversation, the Browns asked about Harbaugh's availability via trade.
That line of questioning went "not far at all," York told the Bee. "We had no interest in entering those discussions."
He added that: "We want Jim to be our head coach, and we've said that very clearly."
Harbaugh just completed the third year of the five-year, $25 million contract he signed with the 49ers in 2011. Both sides are interested in hammering out a new contract this offseason.
York said that process likely will resume after the NFL draft takes place in early May, though he is interested in doing so whenever Harbaugh is ready.
York first called the ProFootballTalk.com story that first reported the Browns pursuit of Harbaugh "not true." He stands by that comment now, though he shed more light on how things unfolded.
He said he waited so long to address theProFootballTalk.com story because of the 49ers policy of not talking publicly about trades.
"We keep calls to ourselves," York told the Bee. "I see no reason talking about another team - that's how we do business."
The Browns ultimated hired Mike Pettine to be their head coach. On Sunday, Browns owner Jimmy Haslam cranked up the heat on York and the 49ers by saying an "opportunity" to trade for Harbaugh just "didn't materialize."

Return of the Bazaar
You shall no longer take things at second or third hand...nor look through the eyes of the dead,nor feed on the spectres in books.You shall not look through my eyes either,nor take things from me.You shall listen to all sides and filter them for yourself. —Walt Whitman
I sense an era ending.
Of course that's an easy call when the economy is falling like a bad tent, but there's something more subtle and serious than the Law of Cycles at work here. I think what's happening is a widespread reacquaintance with reality—the reciprocal of disillusionment. It shows up in what we're not buying: needlessly faster computers, humorless comedies on TV, specious investment schemes, vacuous campaign promises and promotional malarkey in all its forms.
This seems to go beyond skepticism, mass ennui and declines in disposable cash, though all those factors play. It comes from sane judgment—the kind that rises from conversations with people we trust, rather than from herd mentalities or propaganda machines that try to command and control what we think, eat, buy and love. More significantly, it comes from our own sense of self-worth.
Around two years ago, I was involved in just such a conversation. There was a growing sense among the four participants that together we knew something that each of us alone couldn't quite sum up. Finally, after a couple months of back-and-forth, one of us (Christopher Locke, aka RageBoy) put what we all knew into a few simple words: "We are not seats or eyeballs or end users or consumers, and our reach exceeds your grasp. Deal with it."
Soon as we heard it, we knew we had to say it again, louder and in more detail, because we were speaking for the billions of other people who also sensed the same thing but hadn't started talking about it yet. The result was The Cluetrain Manifesto.
More than a few people (occasionally including myself) have thought that Cluetrain was mostly about the shift of market power from supply to demand. While that's true, I think Cluetrain was also about returning to the true meaning of the word market, which finds its best synonym in bazaar--a place where people come to do business and make culture.
Markets were around for thousands of years before we started using the word to label product categories, geographies, demographic groups and demand itself. All those uses awaited the rise of industry, which began about two hundred years ago. Throughout the Industrial Age, talk about markets has been mostly a supply-side activity. When we hear consumer electronics, office supplies, Mexico and BMW drivers all referred to as "markets", we hear the supply side talking to itself. To the demand side, the market is still mostly a place to shop—a bazaar.
Nothing has done more to raise bazaar consciousness than the Open Source movement, starting with Eric S. Raymond's The Cathedral and the Bazaar. While Eric didn't have much to say about markets per se in The Cathedral and the Bazaar, he did much to popularize the bazaar as a conceptual metaphor. Google counts 355,000 web pages that contain the word bazaar, and I would bet at least half of them wouldn't be there if Eric hadn't spread the meme. And what better conceptual metaphor for market than its most literal synonym?
So now the Open Source movement finds itself with two jobs. One is explaining itself, and the other is explaining what markets are really about. We already know the first isn't easy. Neither is the second.
For generations we've been looking at both business and markets from the industrial producer's position—one so corrupted by the abstraction of demand that it can barely comprehend the face-to-face, keyboard-to-keyboard nature of life in the bazaars that markets naturally long to be. What we call "consumerism" is really producerism, a tired ideology that believes it can forever categorize and organize markets for its own convenience.
For a case in point, try to buy a computer from a mass producer. If you're going to the biggest sources—Dell or Gateway—be prepared to declare your category. No, not "server", "desktop" or "laptop". We're talking about your category here. What are you? they ask. Are you a consumer, a business or something public like a local, state or federal government? Those are the cattle chutes through which these producers want customers to click their way toward a purchase.
That's rather annoying if you think of yourself more as connoisseur than category. But who are you? More accurately, what are you? To mass-producers, you're a consumer. Your job is to consume. Or, in the perfect words of Jerry Michalski, you are a "gullet". That is, a creature "who lives only to gulp products and crap cash".
Millions of dollars move through Dell's cash plumbing every day and not much less through Gateway's. Near as I can tell, there isn't much negative burpage on the gullet side of the two companies' transaction mills. Both enjoy wide regard as exemplary producers. Their products tend to show up at or near the tops of ranked reviews. So does their customer support. This begs a fair question: what's the problem here?
Maybe, for Dell and Gateway, there isn't one. But I'm not so sure. I think Dell and Gateway are just stuck with default mass-marketing metaphors they'd rather do without if they knew how customer-hostile those metaphors really are.
I was looking for data on the matter a few weeks ago when I visited my new local Gateway Country Store. Wearing my invisible objective journalist hat, I tried to be as positive and open-minded as possible. It wasn't easy. The first thing I noticed after passing through the door was a display on a kiosk that was brain-locked into an error message that nobody had bothered to correct, even though sales people seemed to outnumber the customers. While I'm sure the electronic corpse on the kiosk had been dead for hours, mere seconds passed before I was engaged by a sales guy. A surreal conversation followed.
"What do you have right now?"
"Well, we run a home office with a bunch of Linux and Mac boxes," I said. "We've got DSL running to the house, and the boxes are all hubbed through Ethernet and a router to the Net. I'm thinking of getting an all-purpose Windows box, running the same software my accountant uses, testing out some multimedia stuff..."
"Then you want Windows 98."
"Really? 98? Not Millennium Edition or 2000?"
"You can't run games or multimedia on Windows 2000."
"Really? Why not?"
"You can't use sound on a network."
"Windows 2000 is a network OS. It doesn't do sound, except with drivers we don't support. And if you're running a network you don't want any of your employees downloading and playing MP3s at work."
"I do that all the time."
"If you're running games or multimedia you're doing consumer stuff. You want the consumer OS. If you want to set up a business network, you need to talk to somebody on our business staff."
Eventually I left without buying anything. Meanwhile I observed that the place didn't seem very busy, even though this was the height of the Christmas season. I also noticed that Gateway was trying its best to do consumer marketing here. In other words, herding consumers into corrals where they could be further sorted into one sales chute or another. Nothing new, of course, except that it felt real old.
Yeah, we're in an economic malaise right now. But I've also been to Fry's and Best Buy, and those guys didn't seem to be hurting for customers. They also don't seem to be going out of their way to make customers declare their categories. Maybe that's because they're real stores, not just channel strategies, which means they're about markets, not just marketing. In real markets—bazaars—customers have choices. The more, the better. That's what we like most about Fry's and Best Buy, especially since prices for the same products are in the same low range.
Choice matters on the supply side as well, and it doesn't just take the form of the plethora. Those of us who operate with the most autonomy and honesty on the supply side do so by choice. We seek out the best work of our peers, take an interest in it, borrow from it, talk about it, join in on some work or go off and do our own thing. In traditional market terms, what we practice is our craft. There is maximum choice on our side as well as the customer's. That's how a bazaar—a real market—works.
Can big industrial producers have crafts? I think they can, as long as they maximize the choices on both the supply and the demand sides of their markets. That means they have to be open. They have to expose the source of what makes them worthwhile as a company in the world: namely, their own employees.
"In the past, people were cheap and technology was expensive," Don Marti says. "Now it's the other way around." In that case, producers need to expose exactly what makes the company most valuable in the marketplace, and then trust the market to do what markets do best.
Maybe then they'll start listening to what we've been saying out here in the software bazaar. And we can listen to them, too.
In fact, it's already happening.

Calgarians kept up their tradition of Earth Hour indifference Saturday, as millions of people around the globe shut off their lights to raise awareness about climate change and energy sustainability.
Figures provided by Enmax show there was no identifiable change in power use in Calgary between 8:30 p.m. and 9:30 p.m. Saturday, when people were encouraged to turn off all non-essential power as part of a global initiative to reduce energy consumption.
"It's very disappointing, considering it's a global event," said Judi Vandenbrink, organizer of an Earth Hour event held this year at the Bridgeland-Riverside Community Centre. "Some cities go to such extremes to participate and yet Calgary hasn't shown any interest."
The event's minimal impact here could be attributed to the fact only 30 per cent of Calgary's energy demand comes from residential customers, while 70 per cent is consumed by commercial and industrial customers, according to Enmax.
Calgary's average daily peak demand is just over 1,300 megawatts, while an average Saturday night is about 1,110 MW.
The World Wildlife Fund, the driving force behind Earth Hour, said 13 million Canadians turned off their lights for an hour last year in the symbolic event. While an official 2013 tally was not immediately available, Nova Scotia Power reported a drop of five megawatts on Saturday evening, while the Independent Electricity System Operator — which co-ordinates Ontario's electricity needs — said there was a 2.7 per cent drop in demand in Canada's largest province during Earth Hour.
Edmonton's power use dropped slightly from 8:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. Saturday night — from 950.10 megawatts the same time last week to 921.37 megawatts. But an Epcor spokesperson said it's normal to see a variation of plus or minus 10 per cent when comparing consumption rates week over week.
Calgarian Grant Wigmore called this city's lacklustre results "an epic fail," saying it's an example of North Americans' wasteful attitudes toward electricity.
"I'm not passionate about Earth Hour directly as much as the need to reduce energy consumption on a daily basis," Wigmore said.
"We need to turn off lights and unplug electricity when not in use. Changing daily habits will lead to lasting results.... And commercial and industry users need to step up and reduce energy consumption, too."
For the past several years, Calgary's energy demand has barely budged during Earth Hour. In 2008, energy consumption in Calgary famously spiked by 3.6 per cent — though many blamed a Calgary Flames home game and cold weather for the increase.
While some Calgarians used social media to express disappointment with the city's showing Saturday, a small handful took a contrary stance and joked about turning on all their appliances during Earth Hour. Calgary-born conservative commentator Ezra Levant tweeted that he was "very proud" of the city's Earth Hour results. When asked to elaborate, he tweeted, "Calgary loves energy, and isn't ashamed of it."

Log4Net logging utility is very useful for logging exceptions and also logging debug statements. However, there is a need for a good viewer application to view the logs. The project here is an application that allows a user to open and view log4net XML formatted output with color coded backgrounds. The application is written entirely in C# with Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF). So far, there isn't any C# version out there to view Log4Net output log files, so this is a cool utility to have when viewing Log4Net log files looking for bugs and traces. The reason WPF was chosen for this application is because first, WPF is new, second, to demonstrate how easy it is to write a WPF application, and third, to test how many dependencies a WPF application has compared to WinForm applications.
This application was inspired by the Java version Log4Net viewer Chainsaw. For some of us who don't have Java runtime installed on our PC, I thought it would be nice to have a C# version of the viewer.
The log4net viewer application reads and parses XML output generated by Log4Net logging utility. The output format must conform to the log4j schema. To generate log4j XML format out, set the application configuration of your app to use the XML layout schema. This configuration setting is in the "app.config" or "web.config" file. First, create a configSections and then a log4net section. The following example uses a rolling file appender and log4j schema layout to set the XML log format.
<section name="log4net" type="log4net.Config.Log4NetConfigurationSectionHandler,
<appender name="RollingFileAppender" type="log4net.Appender.RollingFileAppender">
<file type="log4net.Util.PatternString" value="c:\log\log.xml" />
<appendToFile value="true" />
<datePattern value="yyyyMMdd" />
<rollingStyle value="Date" />
<layout type="log4net.Layout.XmlLayoutSchemaLog4j">
<locationInfo value="true" />
<level value="DEBUG" />
<appender-ref ref="RollingFileAppender" />
The layout tag log4net.layout.XmlLayout.SchemaLog4j tells log4net.dll to log in XML format. The XML format ensures that the viewer application can read the output content. The output content is parsed and loaded into a List View or Grid View control complete with sorting and background color codes for each log type. There is also a file drag and drop feature using the Grid View control.
You can drag and drop your log file into the viewing area, in this case the ListView control. You may also use the menu file open or if you already opened a file previously, then use the most recent viewed menu item. Menu Item refresh will reload the current loaded log file. When a file is loaded, the application parses the XML in the log file.
Parsing the XML is very simple by using .NET XML text reader. XML text reader reads each event logged in the XML file with a structure like the following:
<log4j:event logger="MyApp" timestamp="1219434607289" level="INFO" thread="4656">
<log4j:message>Loading my data Compressed: 8,967,102
Uncompress: 117,241,190</log4j:message>
<log4j:data name="log4jmachinename" value="myMachine"/>
<log4j:data name="log4net:HostName" value="myHost"/>
<log4j:data name="log4net:UserName" value="myUser"/>
<log4j:data name="log4japp" value="myAppexe"/>
<log4j:locationInfo class="myClass" method="myMethod"
file="C:\myApp\myFile.cs" line="266"/>
All elements in the XML are parsed and stored in a class object called LogEntry. Each log event creates a LogEntry object and is added to the collection List<LogEntry> entries. The list collection is used as data bind for the List View control.
Included in this source zipped is the log4net helper wrapper class log.cs file. The log4net wrapper class provides a few static methods to simplified logging exceptions. The wrapper static method ensures that the log4net configuration is setup correctly.
Following is an example on how to use the wrapper class:
catch (Exception ex)
Simplified application exception logging is a good thing, however it is better when you have a log viewer.

Why do you need a log viewer?
Log files are often viewed as plain text. A log viewer will parse your log file and read the information. This helps you find, analyze, and fix issues faster.

Demian Maia (12-2 MMA, 6-2 UFC) is set to face Mario Miranda (10-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the main card, and Dan Miller (11-4 MMA, 3-3 UFC) officially meets John Salter (5-1 MMA, 1-1 UFC) on the preliminary card of this month's UFC 118 event.
Maia initially was slated to fight Alan Belcher in the UFC Fight Night 22 headliner, but as MMAjunkie.com (www.mmajunkie.com) first reported, he took the fight with Miranda after "The Talent" underwent eye surgery due to a detached retina.
Miller, meanwhile, replaces Phil Baroni (13-12 MMA, 3-6 UFC), who suffered a collarbone injury, on the card.
The UFC recently made both fights official for UFC 118, which takes place Aug. 28 at the TD Garden in Boston. The night's main card airs on pay-per-view, and two preliminary-card bouts air on Spike TV. Miller vs. Salter, though, is slated for the untelevised preliminary card.
Maia fights for the first time a UFC 112 title loss to middleweight champ Anderson Silva in April. Maia, who took the fight as a replacement for injured Vitor Belfort, suffered a lopsided unanimous-decision loss (though the fight is more memorable for Silva's bizarre in-fight taunting and refusal to engage in later rounds). Prior to the defeat, the Brazilian jiu-jitsu black belt posted a 6-1 record in the UFC and picked up four "Submission of the Night" bonuses.
He now meets Miranda, who impressed in his most recent outing when he spoiled Canadian veteran David Loiseau's return to the UFC. The UFC 115 TKO victory followed a
disappointing UFC-debut TKO loss to Gerald Harris, who handed handed Miranda his first
professional defeat at UFC Fight Night 21 in March. Miranda fought his way into the UFC with an impressive 11-0 record that included nine stoppage wins.
Miller, the brother of UFC lightweight Jim Miller, is a former IFL middleweight champ who splashed onto the UFC scene with consecutive wins over Rob Kimmons, Matt Horwich and Jake Rosholt that pushed his win streak to nine fights. He's he since posted consecutive decision losses to contenders Chael Sonnen, Maia and Michael Bisping. Family issues further compounded his troubles, though Miller never bowed out of a fight. Despite the losses, a source close told MMAjunkie.com after the third straight loss that Miller would, in fact, get another fight.
It now comes against Salter, an NAIA national wrestling champion who also owns a purple belt in Brazilian jiu-jitsu. The 25-year-old went 4-0 in just a seven-month pro career before he signed with the UFC. In his promotional debut, he then suffered a hard-fought third-round TKO loss to Harris at UFC Fight Night 20. Then, a UFC 113 fight was cut short when opponent Jason MacDonald suffered a nasty leg injury that left him with a dislocated ankle and multiple leg fractures. Salter, nonetheless, earned the TKO win.
The UFC 118 fight card now includes:
MAIN CARD (Pay-per-view)
- Champ Frankie Edgar vs. B.J. Penn (for lightweight title)
- Randy Couture vs. James Toney
- Kenny Florian vs. Gray Maynard
- Demian Maia vs. Mario Miranda
- Marcus Davis vs. Nate Diaz
(Spike TV)
- Joe Lauzon vs. Gabe Ruediger
- Nik Lentz vs. Andre Winner
- Gerald Harris vs. Joe Vedepo*
- Dan Miller vs. John Salter
- Nick Osipczak vs. Greg Soto
- Amilcar Alves vs. Mike Pierce
* – Not officially announced

Like its first five editions, this book is an interdisciplinary-oriented, research-based HR text. Perhaps the most significant change in the current edition is the addition of a new coauthor, Herman Aguinis. Herman brings considerable content and methodological expertise, and this edition of the text reflects those strengths. As in the past, our subject matter is personnel psychology--the application of psychological research and theory to human resource management (HRM) in organizations. As an applied area of psychology, personnel psychology seeks to make, organizations more effective and more satisfying as places to work. Personnel psychology represents the overlap between psychology and HRM. It is a subfield within HRM, excluding, for example, such topics as labor law, compensation and benefits, safety, and industrial relations. Personnel psychology is also a subfield with in industrial and organizational (I/O) psychology-the study of the behavior of men and women in work settings. Today, with the tremendous growth of I/O psychology in many directions, HRM is appropriately considered only one of many areas to which I/O psychologists have turned their attention. As in the first five editions, we have included material of a decidedly theoretical, statistical, or psychometric nature. No doubt some readers will criticize the book on these grounds and charge that "things just aren't done that way in the real world." Perhaps not, for we agree that some of the ideas in the book are used by very few organizations. However, many topics in earlier editions that may have seemed "far out" are now considered "mainstream"--for example, validity generalization, statistical power analysis, and situational interviews. The book is designed to be forward-looking and progressive, and, even though some of the material is presented in a conventional manner, with a dose of statistical, psychometric, or psychological theory thrown in, we believe that in the last analysis nothing is more practical. In writing this book, we make two assumptions about our readers: (1) They are familiar with the general problems of HRM or I/O psychology, and (2) they have some background in fundamental statistics--at least enough to understand statistical procedures on a conceptual level, and preferably enough to compute and interpret tests of statistical significance. As in earlier editions, our goals are (1) to challenge the field to advance rather than simply to document past practice, (2) to present a model toward which professionals should aim, and (3) to present scientific procedure and fundamental theory so that the serious student can develop a solid foundation on which to build a broad base of knowledge. Our overall objective is to integrate psychological theory with tools and methods that will enable the student or professional to translate theory into practice effectively. We are well aware that in the complex and dynamic environment in which we live and work, scientific and technological advances are occurring faster than ever before. Hence, education must be a lifelong effort if one is to avoid what Armer (1970) calls the "Paul Principle": Over time, people become uneducated and therefore incompetent to perform at a level at which they once performed adequately. If the book projects this one message, then the HR profession will be enriched immeasurably. The response to the first five editions of this book in psychology departments and in business and professional schools has been particularly gratifying. However, new ideas and research findings in all the areas covered by the book made a sixth edition necessary in order to reflect the state of the art in personnel psychology. We have tried to do just that, as reflected in the fact that more than 500 of the references in this sixth edition are new! Year by year, the field continues to advance rapidly. Here is sample of what is new in the sixth editioCascio, Wayne F. is the author of 'Applied Psychology In Human Resource Management', published 2004 under ISBN 9780131484108 and ISBN 0131484109.[read more]

How do you ask a group of armed men if the rumors that they're a gang of ordinary thieves are true? You begin with a joke.
"Is it true that you guys stole an elephant from the Tripoli zoo, took it back to Zintan, and mounted an antiaircraft gun on its back?"
Mohamed Kor, a stern, bearded commander of the Zintan Brigade, can't help but chuckle.
"I know we have a bad reputation," he says in his office in Rigatta, a luxury beachfront compound in West Tripoli, where the fighters from Zintan have taken up residence. "We get called every day by people who say that fighters from Zintan are stealing. But it's not true. These are common criminals who abuse the name Zintan because they think it will protect them. As soon as we catch them we will expose them to the world."
And no, he adds, "the elephant really wasn't us."
Maybe not, but heavily armed militias like Mr. Kor's are very much the elephant in the room of post-Qaddafi Libya.
The new Libya is dominated by militias like the Zintan Brigade. They participated in the liberation of Tripoli in August and they never left. Now that the fighting is over, most militias won't give up their guns. Accusations of mafia-style behavior are growing, as are worries that inter-militia fighting could break out before the new Libya is even born.
Saying that the fighters from Zintan, a small town in Libya's western mountains, have a bad reputation is putting it mildly. The word "Zintani" has replaced the word "thief" in Tripoli street slang.
They are far from the only armed group around. On Sunday, Oct. 30, a firefight broke out between fighters from Zintan and Misurata; a Zintani was killed. Zintan fighters then followed an ambulance carrying a wounded Misurati, seeking to execute the man in revenge. That didn't happen, but on Monday another firefight broke out outside the hospital, wounding four.
That same day, a small demonstration in Tripoli's Martyrs' Square protested against the continued presence of heavily armed fighters in the capital. Growing numbers of ordinary citizens fail to see why fighters should still be tearing around in pickup trucks with antiaircraft guns mounted in the back.
Scorched earth
The battle-hardened fighters from Misurata have, if anything, the worst reputation of the lot.
Few cities in Libya suffered as much during the war as the western coastal town of Misurata, where more than 1,000 people were killed during a months-long siege by Muammar Qaddafi's troops.
As a result, Misurata's fighters feel they are accountable to no one, not even the country's interim government.
They say they've earned the right to do what they like, and are showing some disturbing tendencies distinctly at odds with the pro-democracy aspirations voiced by Libyans, who have already paid dearly for Mr. Qaddafi's overthrow.
For instance, the men from Misurata have unilaterally declared that the inhabitants of Tawargha, a mostly black neighboring city where many people stayed loyal to Qaddafi, will not be allowed to return. Fighters from Misurata have chased the residents of Tawargha all over Libya, arresting them in refugee camps and jailing them in Misurata. Last week, they began burning houses in Tawargha to make sure that nobody returns.
Graffiti in the streets of Misurata even opposes the aaidoun or returnees, meaning people from Misurata who fled the city during the siege by Qaddafi's troops.
"It's the new propaganda," says one Libyan human rights activist who requested anonymity for fear of reprisals. "Misurata feels that they're the heroes of this war and therefore they deserve a bigger piece of the pie. But what Misurata is doing in Tawargha is a time bomb under the future of Libya."
A lawless new Libya?
The activist and two other men in a dingy Tripoli office have just formed a new human rights organization to document violations in the new Libya.
All three played key roles in the uprising against the rule of Qaddafi. Now they are concerned about the lawlessness.
"Misurata considers every Libyan citizen a Qaddafi supporter until proven otherwise," says the activist. "If I have a problem with you, all I need to do is call Misurata and you will be kidnapped from your house and taken to Misurata."
He gives examples: a student who denounced his professor, the president of a sports club who was accused by someone who wanted to take his place. "Every day we get phone calls from people looking for missing relatives."
He does not hesitate to compare the situation to that of the 1980s, the height of the repression under Qaddafi. "It is the same climate of fear where people are afraid to speak out for fear of being denounced as Qaddafi supporters."
The human rights group is not planning to go public anytime soon: For now they are discreetly using their own wasta (connections) with the revolutionary
fighters to get people released.
There are signs that time is running out, with both an increasingly uneasy public and rivalries between militias erupting into open conflict.
The Iraq scenario
The misconduct of some of the militias is not just a security issue. It also threatens to upset the delicate relationships between Libya's various tribes.
Bani Walid, where Qaddafi's son Saif al-Islam made his last stand, had hoped to avoid a fight.
The western city is the capital of the Warfalla, Libya's biggest tribe, with 1.2 million members. Many Warfalla were loyal to Qaddafi, but many others – including interim Prime Minister Mahmoud Jibril – joined the rebellion.
After the fall of Tripoli, anti-Qaddafi members of the Warfalla tribe went shopping for a suitable brigade to negotiate the surrender of their town.
Zintan fighters were out of the question because they are occasional rivals, and Misurata was not an option because of the historical bad blood.
Bani Walid decided to take their chances with fighters from Jadu, a town in the western mountains. The Jadu militia gained a good reputation for the way they liberated the south of the country almost without firing a shot.
"We believe in negotiating first and fighting only as a last resort," says Omar Dougha of the Jadu brigade, who explains that things didn't go as planned. "But then several thousand fighters from Zawiyah showed up uninvited. They forced our hand."
Zawiyah fighters had a score to settle with the Warfalla. When the Qaddafi regime crushed the uprising in Zawiyah in March, Warfalla made up the bulk of the attacking force.
There are no signs of executions of Qaddafi supporters in Bani Walid. But like Sirte, the town was thoroughly destroyed and looted by the fighters from Zawiyah.
A huge graffiti mural in downtown Bani Walid spells it out in plain English: "Zawiyah are thugs."
"We won the fight, but we won it in a bad way," says Mr. Dougha.
The vengeance and arbitrary killings and arrests have many in Libya worried about what the future holds.
"I believe that if we don't announce a general amnesty the country will never have peace," says Dougha.
The anonymous activist evokes Iraq, where de-Baathification, a policy that banned all government employees associated with Saddam Hussein's Baath Party from future employment, helped spark a vicious civil war.
"I have spoken to many people from Sirte and Bani Walid who say: 'If you cast us aside, if you make sure that our children will have no opportunities in the new Libya, then you leave us no other choice than to fight you.' "
Why disarming is hard
Attempts to disarm the militias have failed miserably so far. Mr. Jibril's call last month for the militias to surrender their weapons went unnoticed.
The new prime minister, Abdurrahim El-Keib, is an unknown figure who has spent much of his life abroad.
When Abdelhakim Belhadj, an Afghanistan veteran and the self-proclaimed leader of the military council of Tripoli, ordered the militia to leave Tripoli last month, the Zintan militia responded by issuing a warrant for Mr. Belhadj's arrest.
"We are waiting for the right man in the right place," says Kor of the Zintan Brigade.
Even the law-abiding Jadu Brigade is on the fence about disarming.
"It's not that we don't want to," says Dougha, on his bed in one of the designer bungalows in the Rigatta compound.
Jadu and Zintan are close neighbors in the western mountains and also in Tripoli, where they each control half the beachfront compound.
Dougha points at a flier posted on the wall asking all Jadu fighters to prepare to leave Tripoli by Oct. 28, a date already three days in the past.
The problem, says Dougha, "is that we can't disarm unless Zintan does the same."
Jadu is a Berber town and Zintan is Arab. Three generations ago, Zintan fighters chased Jadu fighters from the area until they were able to fight their way back.
"We fought as brothers against Qaddafi, but we don't entirely trust them. Zintan with heavy weapons and Jadu without weapons is simply not an option," says Dougha.

Australia have qualified for their sixth successive FIFA Women's World Cup with a scrappy 2-0 win over Vietnam amid a monsoonal second-half rain deluge in Ho Chi Minh City.
The Matildas created a litany of chances but could only find the net twice courtesy of a comical own goal just before half time on Sunday, while a stunning last minute long-range strike from midfielder Katrina Gorry capped qualification in style.
The result also lifted Australia into the semi-finals of the Asian Women's Cup after finishing second on goal difference in Group A behind world champions Japan who also secured their ticket to next year's World Cup in Canada with victory over Jordan.
It seemed only a matter of time before Australia would overrun their opponents with Emily Van Egmond, Alanna Kennedy, Michelle Heyman and Caitlin Foord all narrowly failing to find the net.
However despite several impressive patches of play it took an unusual goal to break the deadlock.
A free-kick from close range incorrectly awarded for a deliberate back pass was fired at goal by Van Egmond, and ricocheted along the goalline before Vietnam captain Thi Hoa Nguyen inadvertently knocked the ball into the net.
The heavens opened up after the break making life even more difficult for the attack-minded Matildas against a well-organised Vietnam defence.
Substitute Kate Gill hit the crossbar in the second half but that was the closest the Aussies came until Gorry powered home a sweet 35-metre drive on 90 minutes.
"It was a tough game to play, we had a lot of possession and chances but our execution and creativity in the front third let us down so there is some room for improvement," said Australia coach Alen Stajcic.
"But we are still happy because it was very tough to break a team down like that in monsoonal conditions."
Stajcic says they now need to focus on making an impact in the semis and final this week.
Asian champions Australia will face either South Korea or China in Thursday's Asian Cup semi-final as the Matildas seek to defend the continental crown they won in 2010.

Life Insurance Center
How To Find The Best Life Insurance Company
It's all about you. We want to help you make the right coverage choices.
We strive to help you make confident insurance decisions. Comparison shopping should be easy. We partner with top insurance providers. This doesn't influence our content. Our opinions are our own.
Article 10 of 12 in What to Know Before You Buy Life Insurance
When you shop for a policy make sure you are using the best life insurance company possible. The financial strength of the life insurance company you choose is extremely important because if the company becomes insolvent, it will not be able to pay the death benefits to your beneficiaries. The best life insurance companies are financially sound, and are easy to work with should you need assistance when you need to alter a policy or file a claim.
Why You Need the Best Life Insurance Company
Your life insurance policy consists of promises--- (1) The promise you will pay your premiums to the insurance company in exchange for (2) the promise to provide coverage in case of death (pay your claim). Life insurance company ratings indicate how reliable a company is able to live up to its promises. If the company has a very high rating, it will usually have no difficulty in fulfilling its part of the contract.
Life Insurance companies with low ratings can be more problematic, however, they are able to pay their claims as well. Of the thousands of life insurance companies, only a very few get in really serious financial trouble. The policyholders of the failed company may be unable to withdraw money from their policies for some time, but eventually they will probably get all, or nearly all of what they are entitled to under their contracts.
TIP: The best life insurance companies will not risk delays in payments due to financial troubles.
Rating Life Insurance Companies
You can find the best rated life insurance company by reviewing the analysis of each company made by professional rating agencies. The primary rating agencies include:
- A.M. Best
- Moody's Investor Service
- Standard & Poor's
- Duff & Phelps
- Weiss Research
A.M. Best is the premier rating company, although the others offer a good indicator of who the best life insurance companies are. Each rating service uses a different rating scheme so you should find out what the ratings definitions are for the service that you are using. Stick with companies that meet the service's criteria for being in the top categories--such as "excellent" or "very good." If you use Weiss Research's ratings, you may find them a bit lower than the others as they tend to be tough graders. Also, be sure that any life insurance ratings you use have not been changed since the publication date of the source. You should look for update sheets or call the rating company to be sure.
For an extensive list of ratings and customer reviews of each life insurance company, click here to visit the Free Advice rating center.You can also get an idea of the insurer's financial strength by asking an insurance agent look up the rating for you.
Choosing a policy with the best rated life insurance company ensures that you are getting that you are getting life coverage with the best life insurance company.
