MONTROSE, Colo.—A man found dead at a home where a Montrose County sheriff's deputy was shot has been identified as 52-year-old Kent Calhoun.
The county coroner said Tuesday that details about how Calhoun died would be released after an autopsy.
Calhoun was found dead inside his home in Crawford early Monday morning by deputies responding to a domestic violence call.
The sheriff's office says deputies met with a female victim, but when they knocked on the door of the home just to talk to a man inside, someone fired two shots at them.
County officials say deputy Corey Larsen was released from the hospital Tuesday and will be recuperating at home.

Alvarez sharp in debut, Tigers sweep Indians
Detroit, MI – Don Kelly clubbed a tie-breaking, three-run homer in the sixth inning to help Jose Alvarez earn a victory in his major league debut, as the Detroit Tigers completed a three-game sweep of the Cleveland Indians with a 4-1 decision Sunday at Comerica Park.
Alvarez (1-0), who was called upon to start after Anibal Sanchez was scratched with a stiff shoulder, struck out seven while limiting the Indians to one run on three hits and a walk over six solid frames.
"I felt good," Alvarez said. "Maybe in the first inning I was a little excited, a little nervous. But like I said, I tried to control that as much as I could, then after that I focused on the game and gained some confidence."
Drew Smyly spun a pair of scoreless innings in relief before Joaquin Benoit worked around a one-out double in the ninth to nail down his third save.
Prince Fielder finished 2-for-4 with two runs scored and Alex Avila knocked in the other run for the Tigers, who have won four straight to push their lead over the Indians to 5 1/2 games atop the AL Central.
Justin Masterson (8-5) was tagged for all four runs on six hits and three walks over seven innings to absorb the loss.
Ryan Raburn's seventh homer of the year accounted for the lone run of the game for the skidding Indians, who have lost 11 straight on the road and a season- high seven in a row overall.
Avila's sacrifice fly in the second staked the Tigers to a 1-0 lead, while Alvarez held the Indians hitless over his first 4 2/3 frames.
Cleveland's first hit of the day produced its only run, as Raburn launched a two-out solo shot into the left-field seats in the fifth to tie the game at 1-1.
Alvarez then ran into trouble in the sixth when Jason Kipnis and Nick Swisher smacked consecutive two-out singles, but the young southpaw escaped unscathed by getting Mark Reynolds to ground out to second.
The Tigers then jumped on top in the bottom half, as Miguel Cabrera worked a leadoff walk and Fielder followed with a base hit to right.
After Victor Martinez popped out, Kelly clubbed a 1-2 slider over the right- field wall to give Detroit a 4-1 cushion.
"I don't even think it was a mistake," Indians manager Terry Francona said. "He (Masterson) actually threw a ball down and in that was a ball. It got into his swing path and it got out of the ballpark. That ended up being the difference."
Smyly then stifled the Tribe over the next two frames before Benoit closed the door in the ninth to secure the victory.
Game Notes
Swisher's single in the sixth broke an 0-for-26 slump ... The Indians have lost 11 straight road games in the same season for the first time since June 21-July 12, 1991 when the club dropped 12 consecutive contests away from home ... Alvarez had his contract purchased from Triple-A Toledo prior to the game ... Alvarez is the first Tigers pitcher to register a win in his major league debut since Alfredo Figaro did so versus Milwaukee on June 20, 2009.

I love comfortable knits that allow me to run after my kids. I also appreciate designs that are uncomplicated and knit up quickly because I don't have a lot of time.
A very special thank you to all of you who have supported both me and my work and have given so many kind words and incredible encouragement.

I'm always up for meeting up with fellow Ravellers at The Main St Yarn Shop . You can find many of the yarns used to make my designs (as well as many of the other lovely designs here on Rav) there!

If today is good for one thing, it's learning just how far the Nokia Lumia 1020 will spread across the world in the next few weeks. With Canada, Australia, Poland and Sweden out of the way, we figured we would add a few more regions as tips rolled in.
Denmark and Norway are both scheduled to receive the Lumia 1020 on October 10th as announced on their respective Facebook pages today. Like in Sweden, Denmark will have it available at various locations including Onfone, Telmore, Elgiganten and Proshop. While Norway will see it land on Telenor and Elkjøp.
Pricing will vary according to the store or carrier, so check the links above for more information.
Nokia Malaysia announcement coming soon for the 1020
Meanwhile on the other side of the world, Malaysia is starting preorders for the Lumia 1020 in the next few hours. The preorders will be handled through Nokia partner Storekini (storekini.com) and you can learn more from their Facebook page as soon as the announcement is made. Preorders will only run one week, so we're probably looking at an actual launch there soon.
Malaysia in this case is beating out Singapore as far as official announcements go, though Singapore is expected to get the 41 MP Windows Phone too in the coming weeks as well.
Source: Nokia Facebook: Denmark, Norway, Malaysia; Thanks, munchcreature, Mikkel A., and Tor A., for the tips!

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
Liberals have one more reason to love to hate Joe Lieberman.
Politico's reporting that the independent Connecticut senator who caucuses with the Democrats -- and backed the Iraq war and staunchly supported John McCain's presidential bid -- said he would vote with a potential Republican filibuster of Majority Leader Harry Reid's bill because it includes a public option.
Here are the quotes:
"We're trying to do too much at once. To put this government-created insurance company on top of everything else is just asking for trouble for the taxpayers, for the premium payers and for the national debt. I don't think we need it now."
He'd vote against a plan with a public option "even with an opt-out because it still creates a whole new government entitlement program for which taxpayers will be on the line. ... I've told Sen. Reid that if the bill stays as it is now I will vote against cloture."
Which Democrat handed him a gavel again?
*** UPDATE *** NBC's Kelly O'Donnell reports that Senior aides to Lieberman just confirmed to us again that "Senator Lieberman is strongly inclined to vote with Reid on cloture but would likely oppose a bill with a public option."
That means Lieberman plans to join Democrats on the first vote to get the bill to the debate stage on the Senate floor. Then if a public option remains, Lieberman would likely go against the Democrats and vote no.
*** UPDATE 2 *** Talking Points Memo on what Lieberman might do...
Lieberman is saying that he's pretty much OK with letting senators offer amendments--try to change the legislation, move it in any direction they deem necessary. But when that process is all over, and Harry Reid wants to hold an up or down vote on the final product, Lieberman's saying he'll join that filibuster, if he's not happy with the finished product. Point blank.

CHICAGO — Chris Sale struck out 13 in 7 2-3 stellar innings to get his 15th victory, Alex Rios hit a go-ahead homer and the Chicago White Sox beat the New York Yankees 2-1 on Wednesday night to complete a three-game sweep in the meeting of division leaders.
Sale (15-4) outpitched New York's Phil Hughes, allowing one walk and three hits, including Derek Jeter's solo homer in the sixth — the Yankee star's third homer in as many nights. Addison Reed worked the ninth for his 23rd save in 26 chances.
New York's loss and Tampa Bay's victory over Kansas City reduced the Yankees' lead in the AL East to three games, their smallest since before play on June 26.
The win gave the White Sox their first three-game sweep of the Yankees at home since 1991, the year U.S. Cellular Field (then known as new Comiskey Park) opened.

3rd in Nationwide points, Sorenson yanked for season, Vickers in....
Sorenson out of Turner's No. 32; layoffs may come
Vickers replaces third-place Nationwide driver for Kansas, Charlotte races
By David Caraviello, NASCAR.COM
October 04, 2011 10:46 PM, EDT
Reed Sorenson, a championship contender in the Nationwide Series and a race winner earlier this season at Road America, is out of Turner Motorsports' No. 32 car in a move that could herald more departures from the NASCAR team.
Sorenson stands third in the Nationwide standings, 49 points behind leader Ricky Stenhouse Jr. Turner has also notified employees of a potential downsizing following this season due in part to the impending loss of sponsor Dollar General, which backs the No. 32 car. Tuesday, Turner announced that Brian Vickers would be in the car Saturday at Kansas and next weekend at Charlotte, with drivers for the final three Nationwide events decided upon at a later date.
"I'm not really sure what's going on," Sorenson said when reached by phone. "It's not good, though."
Vickers was equally surprised.
"It was completely sudden," Vickers told Sporting News on Tuesday, during a break in Sprint Cup testing at Phoenix International Raceway. "I wanted to run a Nationwide race before the year was over. Red Bull hadn't been letting me run Nationwide this season, for whatever reason.
"A week or two ago, I asked [Red Bull team owner] Dietrich [Mateschitz] -- first time I'd asked him; I'd been dealing with middle management -- if I could run a Nationwide race, because I wanted to have past champion's for next year. He was like, 'Yeah, of course, no problem.'
"I reached out to a lot of owners, ones I knew, and the ones that had Nationwide programs. Obviously, driving for Turner all the years at Braun, I reached out and said, 'Hey, I'd love to run a race before the end of the year, if anything comes up. ...
"I was thinking like maybe they'd add a fourth car for the last race, and then [Turner Motorsports general manager] T.J. [Puchyr] called me [Monday] afternoon and said, 'Would you consider running sooner than Homestead?' I said, 'Yeah, of course.' And they let me know [Tuesday] morning. They asked me if I'd run the next couple of races, and I said 'Sure.' So it was kind of a last-minute deal."
Trent Owens will remain crew chief of the No. 32 car, according to the team. Vickers competed for Turner on a part-time basis from 2007-10, compiling 15 top-five finishes in 41 starts with the organization. Sorenson had recorded top-10 finishes in his past three starts in the car, including a seventh-place result Saturday at Dover.
"We are continuing to evaluate our racing program as we look to the 2012 season," team owner Steve Turner said in a release. "Brian Vickers is a proven winner at NASCAR's highest level in addition to being a driver at Turner Motorsports over the last four seasons. He has worked with Trent Owens in the past which will allow us to immediately focus on the task at hand. We are confident Brian can help assess where we are, as a company currently, and the direction we are going as we build our programs for 2012 and beyond."
The driver swap continued a tumultuous day at Turner, which is based in Mooresville, N.C., and fields a total of seven vehicles on the Nationwide and Camping World Truck circuits combined. Earlier Tuesday, the team announced that it had notified employees of potential layoffs in order to comply with North Carolina's Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act, which requires employers to provide 60 days' notice of possible mass layoffs. "It is hopeful," the team added, "the action will become unnecessary as the team continues to work with potential marketing partners for their Nationwide Series and Camping World Truck Series teams."
A Turner spokesperson said the organization would have no further comment beyond the release. The Turner news comes a week after another team, Germain Racing, also served notice of potential layoffs under the WARN Act. Germain's primary sponsor, Geico, plans to expand its Sprint Cup schedule to 22 races in 2012, a decision that puts its Truck Series program in jeopardy. Earlier this season, Germain partnered with Randy Moss Motorsports to keep reigning Truck Series champion Todd Bodine on the track.
Also last week, the Red Bull team on the Sprint Cup level notified employees of potential layoffs under the WARN Act. The energy drink company is pulling its ownership of the two-car operation after this season, leaving executives to try and cobble together a potential new ownership group and sponsor package for 2012.
Founded by Texas native Turner in 2009, Turner Motorsports underwent an expansion prior to this season and emerged as a force on the race track despite its relatively low-profile name. Turner driver James Buescher is currently second in the Truck Series standings, three points behind leader Austin Dillon. Sorenson's victory is one of three on the Nationwide tour this year at Turner, along with those by Justin Allgaier at Chicago and Mark Martin at Las Vegas. Other full-time drivers in the Turner fold include Ricky Carmichael in the Truck Series and Jason Leffler on the Nationwide tour.

While not a regular Showdown, Ben and Frank do get together to sound off on the big three press conferences. Who came out on top?
Ben: Well, I think we're going to agree that Microsoft was the most underwhelming. Or the least whelming. However you want to say it. They had a great line-up of games, and I think the 360 is going to do very well in terms of sales this holiday season, but Peter Moore just came off as awkward, the jokes were lame, and the venue was terrible. Everyone was uncomfortable, the sound was too loud, and I just didn't get the energy you should from this sort of event. I've never been so bored with games I'm so excited about, but I wanted a big announcement and didn't get much other than the games I was looking forward to going in. A great line up of games does not help their show from being long-winded and painfully awkward.
Nintendo, on the other hand, you could tell had a strong vision about bringing older people and more women into gaming; they had a strong vision and they stuck to it. The announcements about the new controllers and the Wii Fit system were exciting. Are many of these announcements things that interest me as a gamer? Maybe not, although the Zapper sure looks slick. The point is they had a clear idea of what they were doing and they articulated it well. They're on top right now, and they know it. They did a great job of reinforcing their position.
Frank: I've got to admit that Sony's really captured my interest. Sony showed off some great trailers, easily had the hippest set-up of the show, had a sense of humour, and showed some genuinely interesting software. I was especially impressed by the showcase of upcoming PlayStation Network software: echochrome, in particular, elicited a sense of awe and wonder from the audience that is so rare. The reaction went way beyond the hooting and hollering often seen at events.
What's more, the company's long-forecast superiority at HD technology seemed more plausible this year than last, with some fairly impressive footage of Wipeout HD, Killzone 2 and Uncharted: Drake's Fortune. Did Killzone 2 look identical to the lofty trailer and PR debacle of yesteryear? No, but it still looked damn good; comparable to the quality (and project time-line) of the drool-inducing Call of Duty 4 footage that everyone has been fawning over. And Unreal 3 exclusivity, as well as Epic's continued work to better integrate the Unreal 3 Engine into the PS3's development repertoire? Great, great news.
Ben: I hate the clapping and cheers you get at these events. Are we trying to report on what we see, or are we fans at a sporting event? It always feels kind of wrong to me when reporters cheer on companies they're supposed to be covering. Still, even Cliffy-B thought Killzone 2 looked good, and almost every gaming writer I've talked to said they thought Sony had a good show and a new, more humble attitude. They have to, I know, but it's great to see them react to the marketplace and redouble their efforts to bring good games to the system instead of keeping their old, arrogant attitude.
I wish there had been a Lair video, but overall Sony did a great job. The new features of Home, and the demo that showed how you could launch a game in a room and have everyone playing that game with Motorstorm really made the system look good. I still don't think Home is my thing, but I see the promise, and I can see how it could go over big. I don't think Sony is out of the woods, but when Microsoft drops the ball and Nintendo does their thing, it's nice to see such a well-produced show. Sony has a great sense of style, and the buzz around here is a positive one.
Frank: Yeah, it's almost surprising to see Sony's completely different attitude; Tretton poking Kaz about his Ridge Racer was just hilarious, and really felt like exactly what Sony needed to do to lighten the doom-and-gloom mentality that some had going in to the press conference. That's not to say it was a perfect showing; the PSP Slim is the much-desired PSP hardware update with absolutely none of the truly in-demand features. And of course, that's not to say Nintendo and Microsoft had nothing to show; I just happened to be more wooed by Sony this year. I'm looking forward to Thursday and Friday, when we'll spend some hands-on time with the titles and see what the reality is behind the glossy overcoat of the press conferences. After all, the show has only just begun.
Let's hear you, readers: what did you like? what didn't you like?

Juanes: SXSW Greatest Experience of my Life
Colombian singing phenomenon Juanes says performing at the "South By Southwest" concert has changed his life.
Despite not seeing one of his favorite artists, Eminem, the rock star says it was a once in a lifetime experience.
Juanes capped off his trip to Austin, Texas, with a concert Friday night, meaning he had to miss Eminem's appearance across town with 50 Cent. It was the only disappointment in what has been a transcendent week for one of Latin music's biggest international stars.
"It is the greatest experience of my life," Juanes said. "I'm so happy and so thankful. It's changing my life. I just feel it. It's inspiring me, and that's the best."
Juanes sat down for an interview at his hotel Thursday, just a few hours after he sang live in English for the first time at a tribute to Woody Guthrie and having his mind blown by Bruce Springsteen's keynote speech. But The Boss wasn't the only reason the 39-year-old found SXSW so invigorating.
Wearing a t-shirt with "PEACE" emblazoned across his chest, he spoke passionately about how SXSW has shown him that the barriers between people and cultures and music have been utterly broken down in the 21st century.
"It's such a great opportunity to interact together and exchange culture," he said. "I just feel the world now and the world is absolutely sick, you know, so I just see music and culture and art in general as a great idea to change at least our own environment and just connect people to the music.You can just go and walk around the street and you can see bands from I don't know, wherever, and they can sing in Chinese if you want. You just have the opportunity to connect with somebody else you didn't know, and that's good."
Celebrities Who Once Were Undocumented
On Thursday evening, Juanes put on a baseball cap and pulled up his collar and hit 6th Street as incognito as a platinum-selling artist can. He took in a Canadian showcase, indulged his love of heavy metal and then hit the sounds of Colombia showcase to support other acts from his native country.
Latin music has long had a role at SXSW, but the conference has been rapidly expanding its palette. The 2012 conference features acts from every continent but Antarctica — from African rappers to Japanese punk rockers. And Juanes wanted to soak it all in.
His experiences could show up in his music when he begins to write new material for a studio album as he tours later this year in support of his "MTV Unplugged" album, due out May 27.
"Somehow it will bring me back to the essence, to the roots, to the music," he said. "No marketing, no nothing. Just music."

Opinion: Sims is the right choice
by Bethany M. Dunbar
Katherine Sims of Lowell is the right choice for voters in the new Orleans-Lamoille House district.
Green Mountain Farm to School started as a small project at the Jay-Westfield school in 2005. Ms. Sims and the former principal, Dean Vervoort, put together a plan to get the kids involved in planting a garden and taste-testing some recipes made with produce from that garden. Connections were made with local farmers to provide fresh food and opportunities for children to learn about how their food is produced.
To say it was a giant success is an understatement. Today Green Mountain Farm to School has spread to schools all over northern Vermont and is a national model. It's an idea whose roots are deep around here. The local food movement is sometimes about consulting one's grandparents about gardening and cooking in old-fashioned ways. Ms. Sims provided the spark to make it happen.
Her work with Green Mountain Farm to School has put her in close contact with the area's farmers and schools. In her door-to-door campaign, she has been hearing a lot about issues of the economy and health care.
If elected, she would be an energetic and effective advocate in Montpelier for the farmers, teachers, and working people. I hope she gets the opportunity and believe the voters would be well-served by Katherine Sims.

Aust SF troops to guard Baghdad embassy
A small group of Australian special forces soldiers will help guard the Australian embassy and its staff in Baghdad.
While the government isn't saying just how many, it's understood to be under 10.
Neither is it saying just what unit they come from, although the Special Air Service Regiment and 2nd Commando Regiment both have close protection expertise.
Described as a "liaison element", the troops will assist personnel from Australian security company Unity Resources Group, who have guarded the embassy since the withdrawal of the last Australian military security detachment in August 2011.
The situation in Iraq has deteriorated significantly since jihadists from the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant (ISIL) routed government forces from two major cities a week ago.
Australia began withdrawing its officials from the strife-torn country this week, leaving an essential core of embassy staff in place.
Up to 100 Australians are believed to be fighting with jihadists in Iraq and Syria, including with ISIL.
In his strongest warning yet, Prime Minister Tony Abbott vowed that "murderous potential terrorists" trying to return to Australia would be locked up to protect the community.
"These people should have no place in our country, and we will do our best to keep them out," he told reporters in Sydney on Friday.
"If they can't be kept out, they will be taken into detention because we are not going to allow people who are an obvious threat to our safety and security to roam loose in Australia."
Australia can't have "trained killers who hate our way of life, who hate us, making mischief with the potential to cause mayhem in our country", he said.
Australia has not received calls for assistance from the United States or other parties, but Mr Abbott said if any such request was made it would be taken seriously.
The federal government has warned there is little they can do to assist those Australians in Iraq, estimated at possibly more than 2000.
Labor strongly opposed Australian military involvement in Iraq but opposition defence spokesman Stephen Conroy backed the decision to send troops to Baghdad to provide additional security to Australian embassy officials.
"Given the unstable security situation in Iraq, this is an appropriate course of action to take," he said.

Other Proposed Natural Treatments
- Acupuncture
- Arnica
- Bromelain
- Laser Therapy
- Magnet Therapy
- Proteolytic Enzymes
- Vitamin B 6
- Vitamin B 12
- Yoga
Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common and often disabling condition most often associated with data entry and general computer use, but it can affect anyone who performs repetitive hand motions. CTS occurs in women more often than men and is a relatively common temporary complication of pregnancy (due to fluid retention). It also occurs frequently among people with rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes .
CTS is caused by compression of the median nerve. On its way to the hand, the median nerve passes through an opening in the wrist called the carpal tunnel. Constant, repetitive hand motion may aggravate the ligaments and tendons encased in the tunnel, causing them to swell. As the tunnel walls close in, they compress the median nerve. This causes tingling and numbness in the thumb, index finger, middle finger, and half of the ring finger. The discomfort of CTS often wakes people during the night and eventually makes it difficult to grasp small objects.
Most instances of CTS are job-related. Paying attention to proper ergonomics is essential for preventing CTS. This might involve repositioning a computer keyboard or taking breaks more often. Conventional medical treatment for more stubborn CTS cases is variable in its success. Splinting the affected hand, especially at night, may help reduce symptoms. Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory medications , such as ibuprofen or naproxen, may help slightly. Surgery is considered the ultimate treatment, but corticosteroid injections may be equally or slightly more effective. 9-10 In some cases, a person with work-related CTS may have no choice but to change vocation.
Proposed Natural Treatments
There are no natural treatments for carpal tunnel syndrome that have any meaningful supporting evidence. Those that have been scientifically evaluated to any extent at all include vitamin B 6 , yoga , and magnet therapy .
Vitamin B 6
More than 25 years ago, researchers noted that people with CTS seemed to be deficient in vitamin B 6 . 2 This led to widespread use of B 6 as a CTS remedy. However, a recent study found no association between CTS and B 6 -deficiency. 3 In any case, even if B 6 -deficiency were common in CTS, that by itself wouldn't prove that taking B 6supplements can reduce symptoms.
A few studies have investigated the effectiveness of vitamin B 6 for CTS. Most were poorly designed and involved few people. The two (albeit small) randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled studies that do exist found no evidence that vitamin B 6 effectively treats CTS. The first study, which enrolled only 15 people, found no significant difference after 10 weeks among those taking vitamin B 6 , placebo, or nothing at all. 4 The second, involving 32 people, did find some benefits, but these were fairly minor. 5 There was no improvement in nighttime pain, numbness, or tingling, nor in objective measurements of median nerve function. Some benefit, however, was seen in the relatively less important symptoms of finger swelling and discomfort after repetitive motion.
The bottom line: Because vitamin B 6 has not been proven effective and may be harmful in high doses, we do not recommend it for carpal tunnel syndrome.
For more information, including dosage and safety issues, see the full Vitamin B 6 article.
Hatha yoga, a system of stretching and balancing exercises, has been tried for carpal tunnel syndrome. In one study, 42 individuals with carpal tunnel syndrome were randomly assigned to receive either yoga instruction or a wrist splint for a period of 8 weeks. 6 The results indicated that yoga was more effective than the wrist splint.
However, this study has a serious flaw: participants in the control group were simply offered the wrist splint and given the choice of using it or not. It would have been preferable for them to have received an option with more "glamour," such as fake laser acupuncture, or, even better, phony yoga postures. Experience from numerous studies shows that when people believe they are receiving an effective treatment, they report improvement, regardless of the nature of the treatment. (See, for example, the magnet therapy study described below.)
For more information on hatha yoga, see the full Yoga article.
Magnet Therapy
In the one reported double, placebo-controlled study of magnet therapy for carpal tunnel syndrome, 30 people with CTS received treatment with either a real or a fake static magnet. 7 Dramatic, long-lasting benefits were seen with the magnet treatment. However, identical, dramatic long-lasting benefits were seen with placebo treatment as well! This study underscores the need for a placebo group in studies—had there not been one in this trial, magnet therapy would have seemed to show itself quite effective for CTS. In two more small randomized trials, researchers again found that there were no differences between the treatment and the placebo groups. Both groups experiencedan improvement in symptoms. 13-14
For more information on magnet therapy, see the full Magnet Therapy article.
Other Treatments
Bromelain and other proteolytic enzymes are sometimes recommended for the treatment of carpal tunnel syndrome, but there is no evidence as yet that they are effective.
In a double-blind, placebo-controlled study of 37 people undergoing surgery for CTS, an ointment made from the herb arnica (combined with homeopathic arnica tablets ) proved slightly more effective than placebo for relieving pain after surgery. 8
People who have a stroke that renders one hand paralyzed may develop CTS due to overuse of the remaining functional hand. One poorly designed study found preliminary evidence that mecobalamin, a form of vitamin B 12 , might provide some benefit. 11
One study failed to find low-level laser therapy helpful for CTS. 12
In addition, acupuncture has been studied as a potential treatment for CTS. Over a 4-week period, 77 people with mild to moderate carpal tunnel syndrome were randomized to receive medication (prednisolone) or 8 sessions of acupuncture. 17 During the 7-month and 13-month follow-ups, those in the acupuncture group reported a greater improvement in their symptoms compared to the medication group. 15 In addition, researchers analyzed 6 low-quality, randomized trials investigating acupuncture (and similar therapies) for CTS. 16 In two of those trials (144 subjects), acupuncture was slightly better at improving symptoms than cortisone (steroid) injections, a standard treatment for CTS.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
The Palestinian cause has made extremely effective use of rebranding to delegitimize Israel. For instance, what for the past 2,500 years were Judea and Samaria, the ancient heartland of Israel, are today mostly commonly referred to as the "West Bank."
Now the Palestinian media, in its English-language outlets, would like you to start viewing Jewish worshippers who dare to ascend Judaism's holiest site, Jerusalem's Temple Mount, in a new light. Of late, all English-language Palestinian news reports have referred to these worshippers as "Jewish fanatics."
It doesn't matter that the vast majority of these groups of Jews visit the Temple Mount peacefully, even adhering to Muslim rules that they come without Bibles and refrain from saying even silent Jewish prayers. To the Palestinians they are "fanatics," and so the rest of the world must also see them that way.
[NOTE: The same restrictions apply to Christians visitors to the Temple Mount, which is controlled by the Islamic Trust, or Waqf.]
As Jewish blogger Elder of Ziyon put it:
"The obvious reason for their choice of the word 'fanatic' in English is to deflect the idea that Jews have basic human rights to practice their religion. By any reasonable yardstick, Jews should have an (at least) equal rights to visit the Temple Mount as Muslims do. [But] Palestinian Arab leaders…are subtly trying to equate Jews who are peacefully visiting their holiest site with Al Qaeda-type fanatics, implying that these Jews are violent and unstable."

Chrysler 'Farmer' Ad Was a Hit — Soon It Will Be a Book
Chrysler Group LLC scored big with Super Bowl viewers this year in airing a two-minute ad paying tribute to the hard-working American farmer.
Now, it's working on turning that spot – and its montage of agricultural photographs – into a book.
"We're going to be putting a commemorative book together with a larger collection of all those photographs," said Fred Diaz, head of the company's Ram brand, which sells pickup trucks and was the focus on the game spot.

Hauppauge WinTV-PVR-USB2 MCE Remote
MythDora supports it!
Newest Hauppauge v1069 remote and USB IR receiver
I have the latest remote ordered from the Hauppauge website just 3 weeks ago. It doesn't work with the lirc_mceusb2 module... it requires the lirc_mceusb module.
Everything I'd read pointed me to the mceusb2 module to get the thing working... after two weeks of ripping my hair out -- I finally compiled the mceusb module and the remote works...
Any suggestions on how I should update the page to indicate that the latest (black colored) Hauppauge remotes require the old mceusb driver, not the new one?
UPDATE: I think my above assumptions may be wrong -- but I haven't been able to communicate with any other actual person regarding their success in getting the new black remote working.
I have it working now -- but whether that was due to adding lirc_mceusb support or rather just recompiling and reinstalling the mceusb2 module has yet to be tested.
Microsoft MCEusb ver 2
I have the 1039 remote with the 1040 receiver. Every line on this article is confirmed. Saved me hours of wondering why could change a channel on my TV set.
Thanks for the information.

Need troubleshooting section for transmitter
It seems to be a common problem that the receiver for this remote works fine (out of the box on Mythbuntu) but the transmitter just does not send anything. No error codes are seen; irsend LIST "" "" looks like everything is set up right for the transmitter, and there is no visible blinking on the USB box. I have this problem and have come across several similar reports, with no follow-up. If anybody has any idea please add a troubleshooting section for it.
--Mjrice 17:07, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
In response to Mjrice: You can always check if an IR Blaster is working by viewing the IR LED through a CCD camera such as that on your mobile phone. The IR light will be visible.

Pinnacle Remote
Pinnacle has a "black" remote without the coloured buttons at the bottom in their MCE kit. Has anyone tried out the kit?
Pic: http://images.tigerdirect.com/skuimages/large/Pinnacle-PCTV-MCE-Comp-3.jpg
Secondly, is the Hauppauge MCE kit with the black remote compatible? Is this the same as on the page? Pic: http://shop.zenpc.co.za/images/hauppauge_remote_kit.jpg

Dell branded MCE remote and transmitter
The dell branded receiver looks the same as the Philips model listed on the wiki. Using lirc-0.8.6, only the second transmitter port works (IR2). However, after adding the philips line to lirc-0.8.6/drivers/lirc_mceusb/lirc_mceusb.c causes the first transmitter (IR1) to work as well.
static struct usb_device_id transmitter_mask_list[] = {
{ USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x031d) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x0322) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_SMK, 0x0334) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0001) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0006) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0007) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x0008) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_TOPSEED, 0x000a) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PINNACLE, 0x0225) }, { USB_DEVICE(VENDOR_PHILIPS, 0x060c) }, {}
The receiver works great.

HOUSTON (AP) -- Retail gasoline prices across Texas have increased an average of 5 cents per gallon in the last week, but they remain well below the national average.
AAA Texas on Thursday reported the average price per gallon at the pump reached $3.43. Nationwide gas prices rose to $3.63 per gallon.
Drivers in Dallas and Fort Worth are paying the most on average at $3.47, and drivers in El Paso are paying the least at $3.25.
The association says mid-January prices at the pump were pushed higher by more expensive crude oil, but also by limited regional refinery capacity and other factors. Unlike recent years, escalating regional tensions overseas have not been a major factor in the price increase. Analysts expect the increase will slow as production concerns are addressed.

Aladdin system components that were typically installed.
The Aladdin system consists of many modules connected in a network that collect holding tank, power, and temperature data. These values are presented on the motorcoach's televisions, and a small screen at the dash on the back-up monitor. Viewing is menu-driven by controlling a small joystick controller. If any of these many parts and pieces fail, they are no longer supported and no replacement parts are available.
SilverLeaf Electronics has responded to the requests of many, many motorcoach owners by developing an extremely reliable solution to replace the Aladdin system altogether with the proven track record of our products and customer support you can count on. Physical installation is very low impact. We re-utilize existing wiring, so there is ZERO down-frame wiring that has to be done.
Full Engine/Transmission Instrumentation. Holding tank levels (with reliable tank sensors). AC Volts/Amps. Optional upgraded 50A transfer switch with surge protection built-in. DC Volts/Amps. Solar Panel Volts/Amps. Plumbing/Outside Temperatures.
Bonus Features:
Engine/Transmission Diagnostics in plain English. Easy to use Automatic Generator Start. Auto Fresh Water Fill Control (if coach is equipped with an autofill solenoid). Water Pump Control.
Dash Displays
This conversion is completely compatible with the dash displays listed below. Click the links to take a closer look.
VMS 330 (Standard Aladdin Dash Replacement)
As with Aladdin, the SilverLeaf system can display holding tanks, power system, and temperature on your flat panel display--but not only that! Your chassis, ABS, transmission, trip...fuel and much else are also available at your fingertips. A wired PressurePro Tire Pressure Monitoring System can also be incorporated, just as you see it here.

Did you leave a message after our prompt? For Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction, we asked you to submit a short story in the form of a voice mail message. For this contest, the original fiction must be read in about three minutes, no more than 600 words.
After four weeks and more than 4,000 stories, we have a winner.
Graduate students at 14 different writing programs across the country helped read the Round 10 submissions. They passed the best of the best along to our judge this round, novelist Mona Simpson.
"There was a great variety, and it was surprising voice mail messages ... some were hilarious," Simpson tells Guy Raz, contest curator and host of NPR's TED Radio Hour.
Aside from the winning story, a couple of other entries stood out for Simpson. In Eric Bronner's "Everything's Under Control," a zookeeper has released an elephant for unknown reasons and uses his one phone call from jail to explain how to correct the situation. The voice mail left in Jacqui Higgins-Dailey's story, "After the Tone," is from a girlfriend to her boyfriend about their incompatibility, and she uses a dog pulling away from its owner as a metaphor.
But in the end, there is only one winner: Lisa Rubenson of Charlotte, N.C. She wrote "Sorry for Your Loss."
"It's funny at moments, and yet it's very strikingly yearning," Simpson says.
The story is a series of attempts at leaving a voice mail, which gives a rare perspective, Simpson says.
"I love the way she considers these various things she wants to say but erases them and what she finally comes to," she says. "Even though it's a vocal story, we get the privilege of hearing her thinking as well to herself."
Rubenson says she was excited by the prompt, and her idea came from the challenge of finding the right thing to say.
"There's always things that need to be said but aren't, or things that get said that shouldn't," she says. "And I struggle with that a lot, and I think it's kind of a universal thing."
Rubenson's story will be published in the next issue of The Paris Review. She will also receive a signed copy of Simpson's latest book, My Hollywood.
GUY RAZ, BYLINE: Well, you probably know what that sound means. After four weeks and over 4,000 stories, we finally reached the end of Round 10 of our Three-Minute Fiction contest. I'm Guy Raz. I'm the curator of Three-Minute Fiction here on WEEKENDS on ALL THINGS CONSIDERED and also the host of the TED Radio Hour on NPR.
Three-Minute Fiction is, of course, our contest where we ask you, our listeners, to come up with an original short story that can be read in about three minutes. The challenge this round was to write a story in the form of a voice mail message. And I have to say, we got some pretty amazing, interesting messages in return.
That challenge was given to us by our judge this round, the novelist Mona Simpson, who is with us now to talk about her pick for the winning entry in this round of Three-Minute Fiction. Mona, welcome. Thanks for being here.
MONA SIMPSON: Thank you.
RAZ: So first of all, you came up with this amazing challenge, which was to write a short story under 600 words in the form of a voice mail message. Give me a sense of what came in, what you saw people do with this.
SIMPSON: There was a great variety. And it was surprising voice mail messages. I think some were hilarious. Two in particular that I keep thinking of: one is called "Everything's Under Control"...
RAZ: Oh, yeah.
SIMPSON: ...by Eric Bronner...
RAZ: Eric Bronner of Eugene, Oregon.
SIMPSON: ...which is about a fellow who works for the zoo who released an elephant for unknown reasons, and then lost him and is trying to strategize the elephant's recapture from his one phone call from jail. It's very funny.
And another one I keep thinking of called "After the Tone" by Jacqui Higgins-Dailey from Phoenix. She's leaving this message for her boyfriend about the complete incompatibility. And she saw somebody walking a dog, and the dog was just straining and straining and straining to go faster, and the man was pulling him back with all his might. And she saw that as their relationship.
RAZ: Mona, we, of course, can only pick one story out of the more than 4,000...
SIMPSON: So I was told, yes.
RAZ: ...that we received this round. So who is it? Who is the winner for Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction?
SIMPSON: Well, the great story is called "Sorry for Your Loss," and it's by Lisa Rubenson.
RAZ: Oh, wow. What was it about this story that struck you?
SIMPSON: It's funny at moments, and yet it's very strikingly yearning. And it's a story which the caller keeps revising her messages. I mean, we only get the message that's actually finally left. We don't get the five erasures and trials. And I love the way she considers these various things she wants to say but erases them and what she finally comes to.
RAZ: Well, without any further ado, here is Lisa Rubenson's story, "Sorry for Your Loss." It's read by NPR's Tamara Keith.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: Please record your message after the tone. When you are finished, you may hang up or press the pound key for more options.
TAMARA KEITH, BYLINE: (Reading) Hi, it's me, Christine. I can't believe you still have this number, that I still remember it. But there's your voice on the machine, like no time has passed. I'm so sorry for your loss, Nick, for your mom. Can anyone else hear this?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message, press three.
KEITH: (Reading) Hi, Nick. It's Christine - Christine Williams, remember? It's been a long time. I called because I know it's tough right now. I'm sorry to hear about the death of - that your mom passed. Try to say something real.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message, press three.
KEITH: (Reading) Nick, it's Christine. Hey, long time, no anything. Too jaunty.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message, press...
KEITH: (Reading) Hi, Nick. It's Christine. Stacy told me about your mom. It was in the paper here too. How are you? What a thing to say. I'm sorry - for everything. Your mom and I - well, whatever, you know, but I was still fond of her. Is that what I was?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message, press...
KEITH: (Reading) Nick, it's Chris. I'm so sorry. I'm in town, and I wanted to come over - bring you dinner or something. Stacy said you're single again. I left that guy - you called it, ha. Maybe now we can - no, please no. Let me press the right button here.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message...
KEITH: (Reading) Nick, it's me, Chris. Christine. I'm sorry about your mom. I've been thinking about you - about her. For some reason, about the time she picked up the phone and said: You two are too young to be this serious. Remember how we laughed as she spit out the words two and too? I tried so hard to get her to like me. It's weird. I have a daughter now. She's the same age we were. Can you imagine? Can you imagine?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message...
KEITH: (Reading) Christine, it's Nick, love of your life. Nice...
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your...
KEITH: (Reading) Hi, Nick. It's Christine. It's been so long. I'm in town. Listen, I'm sorry to hear about your mom. I'll never forget the house on del Cielo. Her garden with those ocotillo with the octopus arms and the squat prickly pears in front of the gate? How we said she planted them to keep girls like me away?
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your...
KEITH: (Reading) Nick, it's Chris. I'm in town, would love to see you. I'm sorry about your mom. It's so hard to find the right words. I'm rambling, nervous, so much to say. I keep thinking about the old days. It's weird. I have a teenager now, a daughter the same age as we were. I think about us, and it's hard. I think about skiing and finding that circle of pine trees, about pretending the clouds were our kids and giving them all Greek god names, about sitting at dinner with our faces bright red.
Your mom thought we were up to something, but we were just burned from the sun and the wind and the future shining down hard all around us.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record...
KEITH: (Reading) It's me. I'm in town. I'm sorry.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To re-record your message, press...
KEITH: (Reading) It's me. Call me back. Please? This is Christine.
UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN: To send your message, press the pound key.
RAZ: Wow. That story by Lisa Rubenson from Charlotte, North Carolina. And she is with us now on the line from WFAE in Charlotte. Lisa, what an amazing story. Congratulations to you.
SIMPSON: Yes, congratulations. I loved the story.
LISA RUBENSON: Oh, thank you. Thank you both.
RAZ: I mean, you heard Mona's prompt a few weeks ago on the show, and how did you figure out to write such an amazing, moving piece like that?
RUBENSON: I thought it was a great prompt, and it was a lot of fun to think about what are the things that you would try to say in a voice mail that were so important and yet could still be said kind of naturally. There's always things that need to be said that aren't or things that get said that shouldn't. And I struggle with that a lot, and I think it's a kind of a universal thing. So that's kind of what started me down that path.
SIMPSON: What I love about it is it's very, very sad and poignant, but it's also hilariously funny. The revisions are hilarious. She first is sort of fumbling to get to the three button to make sure she can actually erase what she's just said. And then she gets good at it and kind of gets going and sort of lets herself leave messages that she knows she's not going to allow, that she knows she's going to erase. So even though it's a vocal story, we get the privilege of hearing her thinking as well to herself.
RAZ: Do you have any questions that you wanted to ask Mona?
Oh, my goodness. I would love to talk about writing all day with you and storytelling. And I think it may be a little bit of a cliche, but I would love to just ask the question that new writers are always asking: how do you start? When you sit down to write something, how do you talk to your characters? How do they start coming into the world with you?
SIMPSON: That's a good question. You know, I've been writing for a long time. And I think, for me, it's almost a kind of a meditative practice. Characters come to me as sort of compounds or exaggerations of things I see in life, something I'll read.
RAZ: Great words of advice from Mona Simpson, our judge this round, Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction. Can't believe we're already at Round 10. The winner this time around was Lisa Rubenson from Charlotte, North Carolina. Her story, "Sorry for Your Loss," can be found on our website. That's npr.org/threeminutefiction.
That story will also be published in the next issue of the Paris Review. Our friends at the Paris Review have agreed to publish that story. And Lisa will also receive a signed copy of Mona Simpson's latest book, "My Hollywood." Lisa, thank you so much. Congratulations on such an amazing story.
RUBENSON: Thank you. It's really quite an honor.
RAZ: And, of course, thanks to our judge this round, Round 10 of Three-Minute Fiction, the novelist Mona Simpson. Mona, what a great challenge. It was great having you. Thank you so much.
SIMPSON: Oh, it's my delight. It's really fun reading them.
That's our judge, writer Mona Simpson. And special thanks to Guy Raz, curator of Three-Minute Fiction and now host of the TED Radio Hour. And thanks to our wonderful readers, the graduate students at 14 creative writing programs across the country who helped us wade through those 4,000 stories. We appreciate everybody's help. And Three-Minute Fiction fans, stay tuned for a whole new round with a new judge, new prompt coming soon to a radio near you. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.
