Liang, Bai and Lao, Songyang and Smeaton, Alan F. and O'Connor, Noel E. and Sadlier, David A. and Sinclair, David (2009) Semantic analysis of field sports video using a petri-net of audio-visual concepts. The Computer Journal, 52 (7). pp. 808-823. ISSN 0010-4620
Full text available as:
The most common approach to automatic summarisation and highlight detection in sports video is to train an automatic classifier to detect semantic highlights based on occurrences of low-level features such as action replays, excited commentators or changes in a scoreboard. We propose an alternative approach based on the detection of perception concepts (PCs) and the construction of Petri-Nets which can be used for both semantic description and event detection within sports videos. Low-level algorithms for the detection of perception concepts using visual, aural and motion characteristics are proposed, and a series of Petri-Nets composed of perception concepts is formally defined to describe video content. We call this a Perception Concept Network-Petri Net (PCN-PN) model. Using PCN-PNs, personalized high-level semantic descriptions of video highlights can be facilitated and queries on high-level semantics can be achieved. A particular strength of this framework is that we can easily build semantic detectors based on PCN-PNs to search within sports videos and locate interesting events. Experimental results based on recorded sports
video data across three types of sports games (soccer, basketball and rugby), and each from multiple broadcasters, are used to illustrate the potential of this framework.

The Pet Photo Contest ended Sept. 30 with more than $14,000 raised. We have great photos for the Friends of the Alameda Animal Shelter 2014 calendar, which should be available in early November.
Catoberfest is under way at FAAS with $5 adoptions for all adult cats and $50 adoptions for all kittens. We are full of well socialized felines who would like their forever homes. All cats and kittens are spayed or neutered before adoption, have been microchipped, health-screened, vaccinated and are ready to go! As part of our Catoberfest, we'd like adopters to bring in a bag of dry cat food for the FAAS pet food pantry.
Part of this month's Catoberfest is providing interesting tips about felines. The tip for this week is that keeping your kitties safe can be as easy as keeping them indoors. Indoor cats can avoid getting hit by a car, becoming sick with feline leukemia, attacked by dogs and wild animals, hurt in cat fights and getting lost/stolen.
Indoor cats also live longer than outdoor cats. Cats like to climb, hunt and lay in the sun. Humans can create a fun indoor environment that allows them to do all these things. Add toys and cat condos indoors, and hang bird feeders outside of a window for cats to enjoy the birds. For more entertainment, provide access to sunny windows where your kitty can watch the world go by while staying warm and content.
If your cat goes outdoors, it is possible to transition an outdoor cat to an indoor environment. Having the cat spend longer periods indoors over time is a great way to slowly make the adjustment. While the transition may take time and patience, even the most confirmed outdoor cat can eventually be convinced of indoor comforts.
Upcoming Events
Pet Of The Week: BOOTS is a neutered, 1-year-old chocolate point siamese mix that is sure to steal your heart.
DOG ALLEY: There are 23 dogs available at the shelter. SAMMY is a cute 1-year-old little tan/black Chihuahua with soft brown eyes. RUE is a gorgeous 3-year-old red pit bull — take her for a walk!
CAT LAIR: There are 45 felines available at the Alameda Animal Shelter. MOONSHINE is a lovely 2-year-old soft gray cat, and MONEY GIRL is a strikingly pretty 1-year-old tortishell.
RABBIT ROW: MARTIN, a neutered agouti; SPECKLES, a neutered English spot; and BUN BUNS, a brown/white lop mini rex, are all in foster care, and ADAM is a white Hot-Tot here at the shelter.
Mim Carlson is executive director of Friends of the Ala meda Animal Shelter. Visit the shelter at 1590 Fortmann Way at Grand Street, call 510-337-8565 or visit www.alamedaanimalshelter.org to view the animals.

Treating wounds, pt 4 Evaluating a casualty (step 3)
3- Check for a pulse. Checking for a pulse is a very easy thing to do, and is very easy to practice on yourself. There are a few areas you can check for, and they can let you know approximate amount of blood loss the casualty has suffered. I can find the amounts and technical names of pulse sites, but I'll stick with easy to understand stuff and leave stuff open for discussion and participation.
NO THUMBS!!! Your thumb has a pulse, and if you use your thumb to try and check a casualty, you may mistake yours for his. Use the first two fingers only. Now you have another thing to use when picking apart a show or movie, driving your significant other crazy. And she thought you yelling about how the bad guy couldn't possibly shoot the hostage with the hammer forward on that 1911 was bad, huh?
Neck- Easiest place to check, usually the strongest pulse. Each side of the neck has one. To find it, find the midway point between your earlobe and the corner of your mouth and go straight down to your neck.
Wrist- Locate those large tendons right in the middle of the wrist where the hands connects, and go toward the thumb. You may need to press a bit for this.
Ankle- The outside of the ankle, between the ankle bone and the achillies (sp) tendon gives the best pulse in this area, but you can also find it on the inside of the ankle.
As a tip on this, you can combine steps 2 and 3. While doing the look, listen, and feel, you can be checking for a pulse at the neck or wrist.
"I have always been a soldier. I have known no other life. The calling of arms, I have followed from boyhood. I have never sought another." From The Virtues of War, by Steven Pressfield.

An eating disorder, mostly appears when your food habits reach levels of extremity. Anorexia nervosa and Bulimia are two main and the most common eating disorders found in men and women. One is the lower extreme while the other is the higher extreme in terms of food intake.
1. Anorexia: People who are affected with anorexia think of themselves to be very overweight in spite of actually being very slim and thin. Anorexia inflicted people consume less than a thousand calories per day. They exercise rigorously and try to find more ways to lose weight. They vomit a lot due to the insufficient diet and suffer more. The treatment for anorexia nervosa generally includes a mix of mental treatment, and regulated weight gain program. An anorexia patient should seek treatment as early as possible. The best ways to deal with anorexia are:
Psychological Treatment: Various psychological treatments can be used to cure anorexia of different stages. They are cognitive analytic therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, interpersonal therapy, focal psychodynamic therapy. A family's response is also an important psychological factor. Proper encouragement and effort should be given.
Weight gain program: This measure will guide an anorexic patient to improve his diet habits and slowly gain weight. A patient is monitored carefully, traits are recognized and a likewise diet pattern is given.
2. Bulimia: Bulimia nervosa is another category of eating disorder. The main characteristic of this disorder is overeating in the highest level. Binge eating is observed, followed by attempts by the affected individual to lose weight. A bulimic patient is constantly trapped in the cycle of overeating and then thinking about losing weight.
Maybe you do not like the idea of binge eating and fear getting obese, but once affected by bulimia a patient cannot follow this and binge eats. Later, they adopt extreme measures for losing weight. The primary methods to deal with bulimia are:
- Psychotherapy: Psychotherapy, or talk therapy includes examining your bulimia and related issues with an expert. It is proven that these sorts of psychotherapies restrict the symptoms of bulimia. The three modes of psychotherapy include- Cognitive-behavioral therapy, Family-based therapy and Interpersonal psychotherapy.
- Medications: Medicines such as anti-depressants can be taken by bulimia patients along with psychotherapy. Prozac is a recommended and effective medicine.
- Proper diet plan: For bulimia affected patients, having a proper balanced diet is very essential. A diet expert should be consulted, who will make the most essential food pattern for you. Undertaking a weight loss program is also recommended.
Eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia should be avoided, and you should know the best ways to deal with them.

OCD or Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is an anxiety disorder, which can be indicated through obsession, having pervasive thoughts or thoughts, which may upset you, having certain compulsions, and practicing certain rituals, which may help to control or manage your obsessions. It is a disorder, which cannot be cured, but can be controlled with the help of treatment. Mostly, OCD is considered to be a lifelong disorder. It often circulates around the fear of germs or sickness and around keeping order and maintaining patterns. A person suffering from OCD can often be extremely annoying. Hence here are a few tips you can use to deal with OCD:
1. Understand OCD: The first step towards dealing with OCD is to know what you have to deal with. Gather as much information as you can about OCD and also read up about how you can overcome it. You need to know the symptoms of OCD so you can identify the disorder. Almost everyone suffers from OCD at one point of their lives. Hence, it is extremely important to understand OCD in order to treat it.
2. Work with your compulsions: Do not get petrified about your compulsions if you are planning to overcome your OCD, instead work with them. Try not to encourage their development. If you are worrying about whether you have switched of the lights, try and develop a mental picture of you doing it. If you are able to get a clear picture, then you have, otherwise you can go and switch it off. Another option is to maintain a list where you tick off the activity once you have done it so that you don't have to worry about it later on.
3. Maintain a journal: Maintaining a journal will help you curb your fears and negative thoughts. Write down all your obsessive thought and reflect on how they are affecting you and whether they are worth your worry or time. Gradually you will see that you are able to control these thoughts and will be able to push away any negativity which comes along with them.
4. Remind yourself about the good in you: Make this your regular practice. Do not undermine yourself, instead make yourself feel good. This will help you to get over the fact that you have done something wrong in your daily activities (like not turning the gas off when you actually have) and that wrong is going to harm people.
Chronic OCD will require therapy and medical assistance. Hence if you are able to detect the signs at an early level and are able to adopt the above measures to control it, then going to a doctor might not be necessary.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
The first question when you greet somebody is 'how are you' and this often refers to our state of well-being. While most answers would be great, awesome or good, we usually think of how we are doing physically. While some of us may talk about physical conditions (say things like feverish, have a cold, etc.), not many would think of talking about mental health conditions. However, mental health is very important for overall well-being.
Can you think of someone who is severely depressed or anxious all the time and have a good physical health? Chances are very bleak, and if you consider the overall health as a mix of mental and physical balance, this is not possible. Read on to understand how important mental health is and why you should start paying more attention to it.
- Improved physical health: If someone is in a stressed state, it is obvious that they would not be able to do the activities they enjoy. Being affected mentally also leads to reduced immunity and sleep disturbances, making the person prone to infections and other disorders. Stress is one of the main risk factors for chronic medical conditions like heart disease and diabetes.
- Improved prognosis: Most often, doctors focus on treating the physical aspects of a person's health. However, with recent emphasis on mental health, more and more doctors are looking at wholesome measures to improve a person's health. Results show that when a person's mental health is also addressed, the physical ailments respond very well.
- Improved productivity: People with unattended mental health disorders often resort to absence from work and/or school, can have financial instability, be homeless and can fall repeatedly. Being mentally healthy provides overall changed perspective of life and therefore improves productivity.
- Improved personal relationships: Children of people affected with mental illness are prone to neglect, abuse, rejection, and behavioural issues. There is also social isolation, which may lead into adulthood, and these children may also have emotional health problems. Others in the close circle including spouses, siblings, parents, close friends and colleagues would be clearly affected by a person who is mentally unhealthy.
- Social effects: These people are highly prone to social crimes like rape, murder, theft, violence, etc. They may not be able to afford their treatment and/or resort to these crimes to assert themselves.
- Improved quality of life: Life expectancy is higher in people who are mentally healthy. Even with mild symptoms of anxiety and depression, this is reduced, and the chances of a happier, healthier life are reduced.
Whatever the effect, mental health needs to be addressed as equally as we do physical problems, using medications, counselling, or lifestyle changes. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a psychiatrist and ask a free question.
Symptoms for Bipolar disorder varies from patient to patient. Bipolar 1 and bipolar 2 can vary in terms of signs and symptoms. Both diseases have a different set of symptoms and they are diagnosed according to the merit of the symptoms.
Bipolar 1
Bipolar 1 is characterised by a manic episode. This may be followed by a hypomanic or depressive instance. Symptoms of mania can cause major impairment in life and extreme cases may require hospitalisation. Bipolar 1 patients can suffer from psychosis as well.
Bipolar 2
Bipolar 2 is characterised by a hypomanic instance that lasts for at least four days and one depressive instance lasting for a minimum of two weeks. Bipolar 2 doesn't involve a manic episode. Frequent mood swings and violent behaviour can be major challenge in a patient's life.
Warning signs of manic and hypomanic behaviour:
a. Quick passing thoughts
b. Unusual talkativeness
c. Distraction
d. Increased social activity
e. Inflated sense of self-esteem
Symptoms of bipolar disorder
- Anxious distress: Apprehensions about not finishing a task on time, feeling of restlessness, feeling of losing control, difficulty in concentrating due to distress, fearing an awful event will occur in the near future, etc., are key symptoms of anxiety distress.
- Melancholic features: Patients suffering from bipolar disorder like to be left alone. They may not seek pleasure in any activity and even good things may not have much effect on them.
- Catatonia: This is a condition wherein, a person stops reacting to the environment. Not speaking and holding unusual body positions are some signs of these symptoms. There might be a tendency of mimicking too.
- Psychosis: This is one of the classical symptoms of bipolar disease. It is characterised by hallucination, constant depression and delusions.
- Seasonal pattern: There is a pattern of manic, hypomanic and depressive episodes throughout the year. The pattern might change within a month or season.
- Rapid cycling: The number of mood swings can exceed four or more times in a single year.
- Peripartum onset: This is a condition where bipolar disorder symptoms are witnessed in a pregnant woman during pregnancy or within the four weeks following delivery.
Symptoms in children: It is difficult to find symptoms of bipolar disorder in children and teens. Along with bipolar disorder, kids are most often diagnosed with other mental health problems as well. The problems can result from stress, trauma or chemical imbalance of the brain. Perhaps the biggest symptoms of bipolar disorder in children and teens are their frequent mood swings, chronic depression and feeling of despair. There might be a tendency of oversleeping as well. Reaching out to a doctor or professional help is very necessary for cases related to children and teens.

Nowadays, drug abuse is a universally condemned action such that selling certain drugs are illegal. Children are not allowed to take drugs until they reach a certain age such as 21 for most states in India. Lots of problems start occurring when you are addicted to a certain drug. It is also nearly impossible to stop since the nerve cells change the way they function due to drugs.
These nerve cells overstimulate the 'reward circuit' of the brain. This means that your brain constantly needs to be 'rewarded' and this reward comes in the form of drugs. There are many reasons why people become addicts and here are some of them.
- People want to get high: This is perhaps the most common reason why people become drug addicts. The moment they take in one drug, they love the feeling they get so much that they keep wanting to go back to it.
- People want to fit in: This is also a very common reason. When all your friends and perhaps even your bosses and other superiors are taking drugs, you do not want to feel left out or ostracized by your friend group. This is why many people start taking drugs.
- Unintentionally taking drugs due to injuries or medical conditions: Sometimes a doctor prescribes a medicine for a certain time period but it does not work or works too well and so you keep taking the drug so that you will feel better. This happens more often than you think.
- People take drugs to relieve stress: This is another very common reason why people take drugs. You may easily rationalize with them thinking that taking drugs is a good way to relax from work and family pressures. However, the long term effects of taking drugs are much worse than the stress.
- Boredom from daily life: In young teens and adolescents especially, life can be so boring that they want to try something new and thus resort to drug abuse.
In case you have a concern or query you can always consult an expert & get answers to your questions!
Sleep is one such time when people usually are expected to lie down still and get rest. However, we have all heard of sleepwalking, a condition where a person walks during the sleep. Though it may sound strange, there is a deeper explanation for it both from a causative point of view and from managing it.
Things you should know?
- Sleepwalking happens when a person moves back from a deep sleep to a light sleep or awakening state.
- The person who is sleepwalking is usually not aware of it.
- Activities may range from simply getting up and sitting up in bed to walking around the room. They could also open the door and walk out to the neighbourhood. Moving furniture, changing dresses or driving a car, may also be some of the actions Most of these activities happens completely without their knowledge.
- Mostly happens in children up to the age of 12, but can be seen in adults also, where it assumes a more severe form.
- The person who is sleepwalking has a fixed stare with glassy eyes. They may appear dazed and lost when they are awakened.
- They may not respond when they are actually sleepwalking, or respond very slowly
- They can be brought back to bed and put back to sleep without being disturbed. Most children would go back to sleeping when this is done
- Though the parents can be very worried when they see children sleepwalking, reassurance is required, as it usually disappears as they cross teenage.
- There could be chances of small injury like tripping or fall during the sleepwalking episode
- Sleepwalkers may be more restless compared to other children during their waking hours
- Bedwetting is also quite common in children who sleepwalk
- Inappropriate sleep pattern with lack of sleep for prolonged periods is one of the main reasons for sleepwalking
- Stress
- Excessive drinking
- Medical conditions like heart rhythm problems, acidity, gastric reflux, and seizures
- Psychiatric conditions like panic attacks and post-traumatic stress disorder can also lead to sleepwalking
- For a parent to see their child walking around in their sleep can be quite disturbing.
- Reassurance is required stating that it is just a temporary phase and will not stay beyond the teenage years
- Most people do not require any intervention unless accompanied by severe symptoms like going out of the house or driving
- Once established, it is advisable to avoid by not drinking too much alcohol, avoiding stress and anxiety and taking precautions like extra-secure locks to prevent sleepwalking and/or other side effects. If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a psychiatrist.
Feeling tired all the time? Do you feel that you can't focus on things anymore? Have you lost interest in things and people you once loved spending time with? Does your temper fly off the hook at the drop of a hat? If it is a 'yes' to the questions above, then you might be slowly but steadily succumbing to depression. Depression is a psychological disorder that is characterized by symptoms of extreme sadness, worthlessness and hopelessness over a prolonged period of time.
- Lack of Interest: This is probably the starkest of all the symptoms. Hobbies or activities that you used to enjoy once no longer catch your fancy. You do not find little or no pleasure in social activities or any other hobby of yours anymore.
- A constant Feeling of Hopelessness: You tend to develop a negative outlook towards life in general, as you feel that the current situation will never get better and will only worsen.
- Loss of Appetite: Loss of appetite is a common feature of depression; it can also lead to rapid weight loss. If engulfed by depression, one generally tends to ignore food completely, remain hungry, both of which contribute to the vicious cycle that depression is.
- Changes in Sleep Patterns: Insomnia is a condition that is marked by a sheer inability to sleep, no matter how physically exhausted one is. Depression tends to exhibit this particular symptom in maximum cases. However, oversleeping, or sleeping more than the sufficient hours is also common.
- Reckless Behavior: Depression makes one more prone to reckless behavior; one generally develops an angry and irritated persona; this in turn, may make one to exhibit reckless and rash behavior.
- Lack of Energy and Focus: Depression causes one to feel fatigued and sluggish the entire day. Factors such as a total loss of appetite contribute to this particular symptom. Stemming from these symptoms are two other major occurrences; an inability to focus on anything and an inability to decide on anything.
Self-help, Coping tips and Treatment-
- Connect with different people: Being isolated from the rest can and usually aggravates symptoms of depression. So, reach out to other people and your loved ones; talk to your loved ones and try to empty your mind when you are having a one-to-one with them. Interacting and talking to others will make you feel better and should go a long way in taking that huge rock off your chest.
- Try to ditch that sedentary lifestyle; go out in the open: An early morning jog can feel daunting at first but the benefits are immense. Exercising regularly has been proven to be as effective as anti-depressants in combatting depression. Even a 20 minutes jog early in the morning releases 'endorphins' in the body, also known as the 'feel good hormones'. These hormones induce a feeling of happiness and relaxation, thus taking your mind off any particular event or circumstance that has been ruining your sanctity of late.
- Avoid Alcohol and Drugs: Avoid alcohol and drugs to come out of your sadness; they have never helped and will never help. Taking these substances provides a temporary solution to depression, as it will again show up once the effects of the intoxicants wear off. It will also interfere with other medications that you may be taking to combat depression, thus reducing their potency.
- It's high time you bought the meditating mat: Sleep has a beneficial effect on your mental health as it has been proven to improve memory and other cognitive and brain functions. Another way to improve brain function and be more relaxed is to meditate regularly. Meditation induces a state of relaxation, and if done on a regular basis, can be an effective treatment for depression. Meditation also helps with an improved focus and reduced anxiety.
- Medications can always help: Medications such as anti-depressants are administered to treat depression. Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors (SSRIs), including citalopram, fluoxetine and sertraline are the most commonly administered medications to cure this condition. However, it is advised to try the abovementioned methods first so that you do not have to depend on medications alone; the reason being that these medications do have their fair share of side effects.

Stuttering is a type of speech disorder wherein, a person speaks slower than normal. It is quite common in the age group of 3 to 8. The relationship between stress and stuttering has been pondered over for decades now. A lot of people seem to believe that stress and stuttering are co-related. On the contrary, recent studies show that stress is more of a consequence rather than a cause of stuttering. If you take the first theory into consideration, then according to that, children would be the greatest victims of anxiety and stress. But it is seen that the level of stress increases proportionately with the increase in age.
Social anxiety in teenagers increases due to stuttering, when they come across individuals who can speak in a normal pace. This in turn can crush their self confidence and lead them to isolate themselves from social groups and people in general. Hence, it is important to deal with stuttering in the early ages or as and when it occurs.
Sometimes stuttering can develop due to physical or mental trauma. Most people with stuttering do not seek therapy for it because they might not think of it to be too severe. Little do they realise that a simple process of speech therapy can help them overcome this disability and rejuvenate their level of self-confidence.
It has also come to light, that people with relapse in stuttering post therapy has shown a three-fold increase in anxiety levels than normal. Hence we cannot ignore the strong relationship between stress and stuttering. So from the above evidence, it is safe to conclude that social anxiety or stress develops as a result of chronic stuttering.
How to deal with stress related to stuttering?
Seeking help is a great start to tackle your disability. If your stuttering is prominent enough to warrant therapy, you must seek professional help for the same. You must also learn to control your anxiety by dismissing any anxious thought or make sincere efforts in controlling physical anxiety.
You can also try to increase your social skills by participating in events, such as public speaking that can reduce your stress levels and make yourself more confident about yourself. One must also remember that a person is defined by what he does rather than what he says. So never let a minor disability come in the way of your self worth! If you wish to discuss about any specific problem, you can consult a Psychiatrist.

Soulstack @ various venues, until Monday
Jon Knight and Soulstack bring their southern roots-rock sect of blues to Ottawa. Jon's a Toronto guitarist and singer whose recent sophomore album, Five Finger Discount, was nominated for a pair of Maple Blues Awards. Soulstack is doing something I thought was smart and a little bit of a gamble: the guys are carting their gear along the 401 and playing all weekend long on a mini tour — of Ottawa!

Yes, when I launched this thread I only wanted to hear about future maintainers interested by this solution. I never wanted yet another flamewar about the new maintainer team. So interested new maintainers and sponsors step up ! I'm not one of those who likes to reply to each message in a thread. I prefer doing things that really help Debian. And when I posted the first message, it was only to help people to work on Debian. I didn't ever imagined that people would complain about the help I was offering.

Buck is an ordinary guy. Well, if you accept the "deer head" thing.
Today, Buck is going to spend the afternoon with his girlfriend who's so happy to see him (she's pretty much happy always). But when Buck finds out that her father is not the tolerant and sympathetic guy he expected, the Sunday afternoon turns really bad. Really bad. Like baaaaaaad bad.

Improving parenting at scale through existing health workers
Visits from community health workers have been shown to have positive effects on the health, nutrition, learning and safety of young children in Peru. The Foundation has been working in impoverished rural regions to help municipalities access available national government funds and implement home visiting programmes.
Growing up in the Amazon
Peru's national government is committed to investing in the country's children, but the region's decentralised political structure means local municipalities have the responsibility for deciding what services to offer. Many civil servants lack the technical skills to apply for the available funds and implement the programmes.
Rural, indigineous communities in the Amazonian jungle are challenging places for young children to grow up. Two-thirds of people in the region of Loreto live below Peru's poverty line, mostly making a living from subsistence farming, hunting or fishing. More than one in four children are chronically malnourished – well above the national average.
Peru's experiences in delivering early childhood coverage at scaleThis article in Early Childhood Matters looks at Peru's experiences before president Ollanta Humala took office in 2011 in delivering early childhood coverage at scale, and draws four key lessons which can apply to future ECD coverage not only in Peru but also in other countries.
Building will and skill in municipalities
The Foundation's partner Asociation Red INNOVA spent four years gaining experience of providing technical support to five municipalities in the Amazonian jungle regions of Loreto and Junín. Based on the successes demonstrated, more municipalities are now interested in participating and the home visiting model is being scaled up to reach 30,000 children across Loreto and into Ucayali.
The model involves community health workers making visits once or twice a week to pregnant women or mothers with children aged under three, often accompanied by a volunteer mother from the local community. The home visitors provide advice and support on parenting, bringing toys and books and showing the mothers how to interact with their children to help their development.
One mother who benefited from the home visiting services, Linda Ramírez, testifies to the impact on her parenting of learning about:
… the importance of talking to our children and telling them we love them. I realised my parents loved me but they didn't know the importance of saying it. That's why now I say nice words to my child, I hug him, I sing songs for him, I kiss him.
Aspirations to scale across the nation
The Bernard van Leer Foundation has invested EUR 1.1 million in scaling home visits in Loreto and Ucayali, with municipal, regional and national governments contributing EUR 5.8 million more over three years. Ultimately, the aim is to help the Peruvian government to reach 700,000 children across the nation.
To work in other regions, other actors will need to be inspired to fill the technical support role of Red INNOVA – whether other NGOs, the Ministry of Social Inclusion or private companies with municipal governments paying for support. Experience so far is that, after initial seed funding, municipalities prove willing to continue investing their own funds to keep the service running.

But probably not!
You see, I was merely quoting Margaret Somerville, the Director of the Centre for Medicine, Ethics and Law at McGill University in Canada. In addition to thinking gay marriage is bad for the kids, Somerville really does not like transhumanists. She thinks that personhood is the "world's most dangerous idea," (sounds vaguely familiar) because if aliens, animals and robots have rights too, we won't value humans anymore. In her recent piece, calmly titled "Scary Science Could Cause Human Extinction" Somerville makes a strange argument about xenotransplants (i.e. organ transplants). First, she beats up on transhumanists and our support of life-extension. She attempts to link life-extention with genetically modified animal organ transplants. She then argues that the transplants will, get this, cause a mutant virus leading to a global pandemic obliterating humanity. I am not joking:
[Using genetically modified pig-hybrid organs] poses a risk, not only to transplant recipients, their sexual partners, and their families, but also, possibly, to the public as a whole. An animal virus or other infective agent could be transferred to humans, with potentially tragic results – not just for the person who received the organ but for other people, who could subsequently be infected. And there might be a very remote possibility that it could wipe out the human race.
Somerville's argument abuses the word "potentially" and its synonyms in a desperate attempt to draw a link in the reader's mind between xenotransplants and a cataclysmic plague. Human-to-human disease transmission during transplants is extremely low, and the genetic differences between humans and animals, even hybrids, would lower the risk all the more. Martine Rothblatt, (a Fellow at the Institute for Ethics and Emerging Technologies) wrote a whole book, Your Life or Mine, addressing the fears around xenotransplantaion. In short, Somerville's concerns about xenotransplantation are not based in science, but in bioLuddite hysteria. Somerville's case against xenotransplantation is in terminal condition already, and things only get worse from here.
The world is getting old. Most developed nations have an aging population that outnumbers the young 'uns. Ted C. Fishman's new book, Shock of Gray, argues that this huge wave of elderly just might change the world. Recently interviewed at Salon, Fishman talked about a potential anti-agism civil rights movement, globalization fueled by young people immigration (get on my lawn?), and my favorite old-person related topic, super-longevity:
Our life span averages have leaped in the past century, as you point out, and I wonder if you think there's a point where we'll hit a ceiling. Now that you've read the science, is there really a possibility for immortality?
I only read the science as a layman and I can only tell you who I trust, which is based on emotional signals as much as empirical ones. I do think maybe eventually we'll be able to reengineer the human body so that it's some mix of mechanization and biological miracle and we live forever. But in the lifetime of anybody who's reading the book, I think there are big limits to the expansion of the human life span. Our genetic makeup is such that the genes that help us grow when we're young tend to turn against us as we get old.
[What's] more important than antioxidants [for extending our lives]?
I don't know, I'm not a scientist. But looking over all the places where longevity is more common, sociability is a telling characteristic. Antioxidants might be very promising, but this is the cycle of all promises of anti-aging — hype and debunking, hype, debunking. But we do know what the sure things are. Public health, sociability and literacy.
Those last three pieces – public health, sociability, and literacy – would seem to rule out most of the "eat this food, not that food" logic around longevity. Combine that with advice of the oldest twins in Britain, to enjoy "laughter and having a joke with each other" and you've got a pretty good recipe for long life: read a bunch, hang out and laugh with friends, and live somewhere nice. That is a set of goals I can shoot for with gusto.
I do, however, hope that, as Fishman says, we might be able to "reengineer the human body so that it's some mix of mechanization and biological miracle and we live forever." While we're waiting for that to happen, it seems the key to living a long time is to just enjoying being alive. Maybe if I enjoy being alive long enough, I'll live to see super-longevity become a reality. Then I can enjoy being alive for a really, really long time. On that note, I'm going to go read a book and have a laugh.

By bringing the field of photovoltaics into medicine, researchers hope to create a far more precise method of drug delivery for fighting cancer. That's right: this cancer cure involves tiny photovoltaic particles like the kind used in solar cells.
One of the major drawbacks of chemotherapy is that it damages far more of the body than just the malignant tumors it's used to fight. In order to target just the cancerous areas, and not hit everything on the way there, researchers from the University of Texas in El Paso created a tiny solar cell. They attached model drugs to each side of the cell, one of which was positively charged, the other negatively. Once the tiny solar devices are in the body, doctors would blast the tumor with an infrared laser, causing the pholtovoltaic particles to release the drugs.
For years, researchers have been using fluorescent proteins in bacteria and animals to study everything from gene therapy and neural development to cancer and limb regeneration (and create some very pretty pictures). The concept is fairly simple: by inserting the gene for GFP (green fluorescent protein, originally found in jellyfish) at the end of another gene—say the gene for hemoglobin—its glow can be used to measure how much hemoglobin is produced and where it is produced in the cell.
Inspired by the success of GFP as a research tool (it earned its discoverers the Nobel Prize in Chemistry in 2008), scientists have adopted a similar approach to identify and locate transplanted stem cells in animal models. Except in their case, they've begun to use the gene for luciferase, the enzyme responsible for the mesmerizing glow of the firefly. And if this method works, it could make stem cells a potent tool for addressing heart disease.
I have seen the future, and it is cilia. Yes, you read that right: those trillions of tiny hair-like extensions that carpet every inch of your body could bring scientists' visions of a universal class of "smart" materials that change and adapt when subjected to various stimuli closer to reality. These artificial cilia could one day do everything from testing drugs and monitoring air quality to measuring glucose levels and detecting electromagnetic fields.
While largely ignored over the past century (or, at best, dismissed as being purely vestigial), scientists are finally beginning to appreciate the many vital functions they perform in and outside of our bodies. Much like an antenna or sensor, cilia gather information from their surroundings and react—by activating a cellular process or shutting down cell growth, for example—if something seems amiss. They can also act as miniature roads or railways, carrying dirt, bacteria and other noxious materials out of our lungs or shuttling a fertilized egg from the ovary to the uterus. And, perhaps most importantly, cilia make it possible for us to see, hear, smell, and otherwise feel the outside world.
Now some researchers believe that cilia-like structures could bring their sensory prowess to medicine, environmental monitoring and a number of other fields. Leading the charge is Marek Urban of the University of Southern Mississippi who has created a copolymer film with hair-like filaments that mimics the functions of normal cilia. Read More
The engineered ovary after 48 hours.
For many cancer patients, treatment can be a double-edged sword. While recent advances in chemotherapy, radiation therapy, and surgery have brought relief to millions of sufferers, a significant fraction have had to sacrifice their ability to have children in return. Going under the knife or being bombarded by high-energy rays—though often critical for therapy—can sometimes irreparably damage a woman's eggs or man's testes, robbing them of their fertility. To say that this leaves young patients pondering therapy with an unenviable set of choices would be something of an understatement.
Fortunately, thanks to some groundbreaking work by researchers from Brown University, female patients may soon never have to make this most difficult of decisions. A team led by Sandra Carson, a professor of obstetrics and gynecology, has built the first synthetic human ovary from scratch by cobbling together the three cell lines involved in egg development—the theca cells, granulosa cells, and egg cells themselves—into a fully three-dimensional honeycomb-shaped structure.
Researchers' new-found interest in frogs may only be skin-deep, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Because hidden within their rugose (science-ese for "wrinkled") flesh may lie a bumper crop of powerful antibiotics. Though hardly a secret among researchers, who've been singing their praises as a potential treasure trove for new drugs for years, efforts to systematically catalog—or even investigate—the thousands of amphibians that could yield promising new antimicrobial substances have been few and far between.
Having already become a ubiquitous part of our mobile-centric daily lives, wireless technologies are now poised to slip inside our bodies. Researchers and companies around the world are designing the next generation of biosensors—implantable microchip-like devices that can monitor a patient's health and ping doctors on their smartphones or computers if something is amiss. One day, some of these devices could even apply short-term fixes or treat disorders outright.
The major challenge that scientists face is developing a sensor that is both long-lived and biocompatible. The human body is extremely picky about implants, and will quickly reject or react poorly to most materials found in everyday electronics. Even the materials that make peace with the body's immune system, like those found in pacemakers, are not always ideal. Some require constant maintenance, while others need to be replaced every few days and are inconvenient to install, to say the least.
The neurons of a patient suffering from Alzheimer's.
You may not be consciously aware of it, but at any given time your brain is playing host to billions of simultaneous conversations (and no, I'm not talking about those voices). I speak, of course, of the conversations between your neurons—the incessant neural jabbering that makes it possible for you to move your limbs, learn, remember, and feel pain. Every time we experience a new sensation or form a memory, millions of electrical and chemical signals are propagated across dense networks of axons and jump from one synapse to the next, building new neuronal connections or strengthening existing ones. And they are constantly changing—forming and reforming associations with other neurons in response to how the brain perceives and processes new bits of information.
Despite being central to our understanding of how the brain functions, these neural chats remain largely a mystery to scientists. What exactly are the individual neurons "saying" to each other? And how do these electrical and chemical "messages" become translated into actions, memories, or a range of other complex behaviors? To help decipher these discussions, a team of researchers from the University of Calgary led by bioengineer Naweed Syed have built a silicon microchip embedded with large networks of brain cells. The idea is to get the brain cells to "talk" to the millimeter-square chip—and then have the chip talk to the scientists through a computer interface.
"Who wants to live forever?" Freddie Mercury asks on behalf of the Highlander. Michio Kaku (whom you should be reading because he's wonderful) has started a two-part investigation over at Big Think on just that query. The cliché question comes from the basic problem of living a long time: no one wants to die, but no one wants to get old either. Pulitzer Prize-winner Jonathan Weiner's new book Long For This World examines the science and scientists of gerontologology (aging). Stanford University professor of internal medicine Abraham Verghese reviewed Long For This World in The New York Times and was inspired by Weiner's discussion of longevity. Verghese reflects on his own experience with terminally ill patients:
As a young physician caught up in the early years of the H.I.V. epidemic, I was struck by my patients' will to live, even as their quality of life became miserable and when loved ones and caregivers would urge the patient to let go. I thought it remarkable that patients never asked me to help end their lives (and found it strange that Dr. Kevorkian managed to encounter so many who did). My patients were dying young and felt cheated out of their best years. They did not want immortality, just the chance to live the life span that their peers could expect. What de Grey and other immortalists seem to have lost sight of is that simply living a full life span is a laudable goal. Partial success in extending life might simply extend the years of infirmity and suffering — something that to some degree is already happening in the West.
I cannot get over the logic Verghese displays here. He notes the will of people to live in spite of suffering and lowered quality of life. The patients merely wanted "the chance to live the life span that their peers could expect." Does he mean the life span science and civilization has already artificially extended fifty years beyond biological design? How does one differentiate between a 30-year-old who wants to be healthy enough to live to fifty and a 90-year-old who wants to be healthy enough to live to be over 100? Verghese is unable to reconcile the desire to live with a terminally low quality of life. The goal of anti-aging is not to simply increase the number of years a person spends alive; instead, the goal is to make every year, even into mid and late life, as healthy and youthful as possible.

Hendry2002 Block 28 Zinfandel, Estate
(Oak Knoll District of Napa Valley)
This grower/producer has been making wonderful Zinfandels for a long time now and this one from what George Hendry calls Block 28, could be one of his best.
From a fabulous vintage (perhaps better than the highly-touted '01) the grapes are grown at the base of Mount Veeder in western Napa, and come from a small (4.17-acre) block that is 160 feet above sea level and has thin, stony Boomer series soils. The vines were planted in 1995 using St. George roots and grafted with bud wood selected from an old vine Zinfandel vineyard. The vines are spaced 6.8 feet by 5 feet, cordon trained and spur pruned. A vertical trellis system supports the cordon and the canopy.
Yield was 4.0 tons per acre. Aging was 14 months in 100 percent French oak barrels, 50 percent of which were new.
Although the alcohol is a whopping 15.8 percent(!), one is hard pressed, believe it or not, to notice because somehow, it's well-integrated. The black fruit aromas are subdued, while on the palate, there's a backbone of tar and mineral before the fruit kicks in at mid-palate. What remains is an elegant sheen in the mouth and a long finish. The tannins are evident and portends a great wine. Hold onto it for a couple of years and then enjoy it over the next 15. There only 1,390 cases produced. The price is $31.

text: Hey All, While browsing the Roland website trying to locate some parts for my newly acquired SH-101 (more on that in a future thread...) I stopped by the page for the Roland 201 page, as this synth has always been on my "buy for cheap on ebay" radar. Much to my surprise and disappointment, Roland has ceased updating the drivers and editor plugin for the 201. The last official OSX covered is Mt. Lion. That said, if you were planning on picking up a 201, make sure you have a compatible OS beforehand. Roland is usually on point with regards to updating legacy products...I can't help but think the discontinuation may be a result of the impending release for their upcoming AIRA series...perhaps a new synth will be among the new lot?

Life is about second chances and Kyiv has lived up to its billing in hosting the 2006 EuroCup Final Four one year after it had to give up the event.
This thought was echoed on Saturday by FIBA Europe President George Vassilakopoulos and Secretary General Nar Zanolin during a press conference at the Hotel National in Kyiv.
In 2005, Kyiv was awarded the EuroCup Final Four, but one month prior to the event BC Kyiv President and FIBA Europe board member Alexander Volkov had to deliver bad news to Zanolin.
Due to a clash of dates with the Eurovision song contest, Kyiv were unable to host the Final Four. However, this did nothing to dent FIBA Europe's faith in collaborating with Ukraine's top club.
"We had given the 2005 Final Four to Kyiv because we knew that the organisational level would be very high. In everybody's mind, Kyiv was the city to host the Final Four and we knew at the first opportunity, which by chance was this year, we would give the Final Four to Kiev again," said Zanolin.
"Kyiv is a beautiful city with great hospitality, great facilities and high level of organisation. I have known Sasha Volkov for a long time and he is a man of his word and any agreement we have reached has been accomplished. That's the reason why the Final Four is back in Kyiv."
"This is my second time here as President of FIBA Europe," added Vassilakopoulos.
"I was here in 2004 at the FIBA Europe League All Star Day and once again Kyiv has proved that they are able to host a high level FIBA Europe event."

Constant Contact Inc., a provider of online marketing services through avenues including e-mail and social media, yesterday bought SinglePlatform, a distributor of business information across a network of publishing sites. Constant Contact says it paid about $65 million in cash for the company.
SinglePlatform places listings of retailers and other businesses on a network of 48 content sites including The New York Times, social shopping app foursquare, and business search sites YellowPages.com and UrbanSpoon.com. SinglePlatform says its network of sites reach a total of more than 200 million consumers.
Constant Contact said SinglePlatform, which expects to soon add another 79 content sites to its network for a total of 127, will soon provide free basic business listings distributed through its content site network. It will also continue offering for an annual fee of $495 its Digital Storefront product, which allows clients to embellish their listings with content such as restaurant menus, product definitions and images, and retail pricing.
SinglePlatform has more than 10,000 paying customers and about 600,000 listings on its network, a spokesman says.
SinglePlatform, which was privately owned, will contribute about $1 million in revenue to Constant Contact this year and more than $10 million next year, Constant Contact says. Constant Contact says it will provide more details on these projections in its second quarter earnings call. Constant Contact reported $214.4 million in revenue for 2011 and $55.9 million for the first quarter of 2012.
Under terms of the acquisition, which closed June 12, Constant Contact has agreed to pay an additional $10 million to $30 million if SinglePlatform meets certain revenue objectives over the next two years.
Also in connection with the acquisition, Constant Contact has granted $5 million toward cash and equity compensation as part of an employee retention program. It has granted about 170,000 restricted stock units to five newly hired non-executive employees, and it has granted options to purchase 34,900 shares of common stock to 54 non-executive employees.
Wiley Cerilli, who was CEO of SinglePlatform before the acquisition, is now vice president and general manager of SinglePlatform, reporting to Constant Contact CEO Gail Goodman. Constant Contact has awarded Cerilli about 50,000 units of restricted stock.
Constant Contact has 10 e-mail marketing services clients in the Internet Retailer Top 500 Guide and 32 in the Internet Retailer Second 500 Guide.

There aren't usually a lot of people sitting at the bar at Suga's Deep South Cuisine and Jazz Bar, but bartender Chad Morgan keeps plenty busy.
Morgan, often the lone bartender, can barely get a few words in before another server approaches the bar with a list of drinks for tables of thirsty patrons.
And at Suga's, drinks are mixed just the way you want 'em.
"At this place, you get to be picky," Morgan said. "In fact, we expect you to be picky."
Suga's may be a little more pricey than your standard Friday night dinner fare, but it has appetizers that start at $10, and everything I've ever tasted was well worth splurging on.
The same goes for Chad's drinks. I dig a bartender who puts a little extra thought and effort into his drinks, and Chad definitely fits the bill.
When he makes a Cosmopolitan, he makes it right. Instead of using citrus-flavored vodka, Chad skips the shortcut and squeezes fresh fruit into the mix. I'm not usually a Cosmo drinker but this drink was light, refreshing, perfectly balanced and something I'd definitely order from Chad again.
But I think what I like most about Chad is that he won't give you a drink he isn't proud of.
When he mixed me a chocolate-covered strawberry martini that wasn't up to snuff (for his standards), he snatched it away and delivered an upgraded version to my table. That's dedication.
Chad's favorite part about working at Suga's, he said, is his coworkers.
"They're what really makes this place what it is," he said. "We're like a big family here."
And if you hang out at the bar instead of getting a table (which we recommend), you'll see what he means. Pony up to the bar and you'll get a front-row seat to servers' witty back-and-forth with Chad. After a drink or two, you'll feel like part of the family, too.
You can usually find Chad behind the bar on weekend nights (when there's also live music), and there's even a bar-specific menu if you want to nosh a little while enjoying a finely crafted drink.

Buckeyes steal the show
Big run helps Ohio State ruin No. 2 Indiana's night
Updated 12:52 am, Wednesday, March 6, 2013
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. — Deshaun Thomas and Aaron Craft scored nine of Ohio State's points in a decisive 11-2 run, leading the 14th-ranked Buckeyes past No. 2 Indiana 67-58 on Tuesday night.
Thomas finished with 18 points and Craft added 15 as the Buckeyes (22-7, 12-5 Big Ten) won their fourth straight.
Indiana had big plans for Senior Night.
After clinching a share of its first conference league title in 11 years with losses by Michigan State and Wisconsin on Sunday, the Hoosiers (25-5, 13-4) were trying to claim their first outright Big Ten crown since 1993. They will have another chance Sunday at No. 7 Michigan.
Cody Zeller scored 17 points and Christian Watford added 12 but the Hoosiers weren't themselves. Ohio State retook the lead midway through the second half when Indiana went more than 5 minutes without a basket, took control with the late run and never allowed the Hoosiers to get closer than six points.
Ohio State has won four straight. The Hoosiers lost for the second time in three games and for the second time at home this season.
Much of it had to do with Ohio State not allowing the Hoosiers to get in sync offensively.
Part of the problem early was foul trouble. Victor Oladipo spent the final 11 minutes of the first half on the bench after picking up his second foul and Zeller went to the bench 6 minutes later when he was called for his second foul.
The Buckeyes made things tough inside and never allowed the Hoosiers to pull ahead. Instead, Ohio State continually quieted a crowd that seemed ready to party from the moment it entered Assembly Hall.
In other games: Seth Curry scored 20 points in his final home game and No. 3 Duke pulled away to beat Virginia Tech 85-57. Fellow senior Ryan Kelly added 18 points. Erick Green scored 25 points on 10 of 19 shooting to lead Virginia Tech. ... Angel Rodriguez had 21 points and 10 assists and Shane Southwell and Martavious Irving both added 15 points as No. 9 Kansas State beat TCU 79-68. Kyan Anderson had 29 points for the Horned Frogs. ... Jamil Wilson scored all 10 of his points in the second half, including a late 3-pointer that put No. 15 Marquette ahead for good, and the Golden Eagles rallied for a 60-54 victory over Rutgers. Vander Blue had 22 points and made two game-sealing free throws with 13.9 seconds left. The Scarlet Knights held their biggest lead at 35-23 early in the second half. ... Jerian Grant had 21 points and eight assists, Eric Atkins added 15 points and No. 24 Notre Dame held St. John's to 18 percent shooting in the second half in a 66-40 victory. Jack Cooley had 12 points and 13 rebounds in his final home game. ... Chris Crawford scored 15 points and Adonis Thomas added 11 as No. 25 Memphis beat UTEP 56-54.

Dr Kurrek said : "Diagnosis is the basis in every field of medicine. The more precise it is, the more we can ensure safety for both patient and doctor.
CBCT became a regular basic diagnostic tool in our everyday practice. With Whitefox we found many useful tools for our specialized dentistry clinic.
Implantology, Periodontics, Endodontics, TMJ Analysis and many other indicators will never be the same after WhiteFox... as it opens our eyes to diagnostic precision" !

Dr Tartaglia said : "The WhiteFox CBCT scanner has drastically improved the daily clinical work in my clinic. It provides precise, clear and excellent 2D and 3D images, guiding at best the clinical treatment.
The high technology integrated in a beautiful design, mixed with the real simplicity of use, create the perfect union of an high performance machine". Is perfectly designed to obtain complete anatomical patient information in the minutest detail. The volume range covers between single tooth and whole skull region. That's ideal for my practice ! From the smallest to the largest volume size we always have the appropriate diagnostic overview of the patient".

Dr Blanes said : "The WhiteFox® Cone Beam scanner has revolutionized the diagnosis and implant planning in my microsurgery dental center. The intuitive operation of software and quality of the images obtained, along with an exquisite service, have improved the quality of dental services that I offer to my patients "

Dr Philippe Sellem said :" This type of exam can also be done with a scanner, but the doses of radiation are more important (10 times higher as an average) and the devices, of a bigger size, are not adpated to an use in a practice. WhiteFox is a small structure really dedicated and adapted to diagnosis of the maxillofacial region. It completes very well my radiological equipement range and integrates itself in any exams that specialists such as dentists, stomatologists, as well as orthodontists and ENT are requiring".

Pr Lars Sennerby said : "We appreciate its overall performance, its image quality and its user-friendliness compared to other products. The WhiteFox is the only CBCT unit that supports measurements of bone density, providing important information for implant treatment planning.
The new WhiteFox was specially developed for dentistry and is designed to physically fit in a dental office ; in this manner, we do not have to send our patients to the hospital for a CT scan. The Cone Beam technology and the various predefined examination options subject patients to considerably less radiation than a conventional CT. The WhiteFox Imaging software is comprehensive, and we can take full advantage of all information included in the scans".

Dr. Knorr said : "The Acteon-Whitefox has all the facilities of modern 3D diagnostics and processing of the data for our CAD / CAM technology. The quality of the scans is uniquely well. All components and software are perfectly matched. Ideally, we can use the Acteon-Whitefox to conceive and create digital impressions".

Dr. Nedjat said : "Simplifying and making implant procedure patient-friendly for the dental staff as well as for the patient was a task that the Champions ® implants has been doing well for 30 years. With Acteon-Whitefox, we reach nearly 100% of predictability. With modern CBCT technology, faster cycle time and pulsed beam, the dose of radiation is reduced to a minimum. With a well identified volume and a very good quality, the principle of "minimally invasive" is optimally met in dental radiology. Thanks Acteon ! "

Dr. Dreymüller said : "With the 3D CBCT technology relevant anatomical structures can be imaged in three dimensions. E.g. localized inflammation, discovered bone changes and diseases of the temporomandibular can be detected better than standard radiographs scan. This modern technology of medicine allows me to make precise diagnoses and thus treat pain related. Especially thanks to the Hounsfield units calibration of the WhiteFox and its segmentation capabilities which are unique.

I was battling rush-hour traffic. Ironically, I was listening to a Toronto radio station's traffic reporter tell me I was in gridlock. Then, my cell phone rang. I read the call identification. It was one of my teaching colleagues at Centennial College. And he was excited.
"She's here!" he said, with more energy in his voice than usual.
"Who's here?" I asked.
"Sentimental Journey. She's going to be in Hamilton all this week," he continued.
It was Malcolm Kelly on the phone. He's the co-ordinator of Centennial's sports journalism program. And second only to his love of sports is Malcolm's love of airplanes.

The lights are on
The NFL opening kickoff is only two days away! In anticipation of the rematch between the Minnesota Vikings and Super Bowl champion New Orleans Saints, EA has released the second title update for Madden NFL 11.
The biggest addition is the oft-requested reintroduction of the classic pre-play functionality. If you're not a fan of the Strategy Pad, you can finally switch back to the old style. EA is also releasing the new Madden Moments Live DLC, a free download that drops you into clutch situations to see if you have the cojones to make the big play during crunch time. "Each week over the course of the season, the Madden team will be
releasing new moments for you to enjoy from the biggest NFL games of the
weekend," writes creative director Ian Cummings. The first batch is called "March of the Saints," which chronicles several New Orleans comebacks during their run to the Super Bowl. This one's free, but future Madden Moments packs will cost you some coinage.
Here are the other fixes:
Ultimate Team Improvements
• You can now view your opponent's lineup in Ultimate Team• New item tiers addedBreast Cancer Awareness Month
• Breast cancer awareness mode is now available for play. You can access it by scrolling right from "Play Now". In addition, franchise games that take place in October (in Franchise mode, not next month) will be given this theme. The Madden team is proud to support the NFL in the fight against breast cancer.

Also included various game stat fixes• Fixed an issue where too many boosts were being deducted for each OTP game• Fixed an issue where posting a card for auction would incorrectly show the length of the contract• Fixed an issue with Ultimate Team injuries so that injured players will correctly come out of depth charts and lineups at the end of a game, and players will not be able to enter new games without addressing injuries and readjusting depth charts• Fixed an issue where Ultimate Team coin rewards were incorrect for quitters

I'm telling ya, they gotta let you unlock golden unstoppable players. Follow in the innovative footsteps of GH: Warriors of Rock! Add some crazy lore into those stadiums!
Lovin' it.
Still no longsnappers! When will the injustice end?!
The online experience is still laggy (on PS3 at least). The kick meter plus the lag makes it almost impossible to make semi-accurate punts and field goals. There's no excuse for that.
Also, the cut scenes in between plays (shots of the side line, coach, etc) seem too heavy. I'm constantly having to press buttons more than once to have my play selection register. I believe this is because the game is trying to process those cut scenes and it takes a sec to register the button input.
I've always loved Madden but things like this just piss me off. The game feels almost Beta level. Again, no excuse for that.

Speaking in Istanbul on Wednesday, foundation executive board member Hamza Akbulut said the death sentences issued against Muslim Brotherhood supporters had not been taken by independent courts but by "coup courts".On Monday, a court in Upper Egypt's Minya province sentenced 37 supporters of ousted President Mohamed Morsi to death and commuted 491 death penalties to life imprisonment.The court also referred 683 other defendants, including Muslim Brotherhood spiritual leader Mohamed Badie, to Egypt's top religious official for possible death sentences against them on violence charges.

WILMINGTON, Del. (WPRI) – Executives from 38 Studios acknowledged Tuesday sales of its debut game failed to live up to their expectations, as they answered questions about the bankrupt company under oath while meeting with its creditors in a Delaware courthouse.
Thomas echoed Schilling by blaming Chafee – without referencing him by name – for scaring off potential investors in China and South Korea when he said in May the company could be insolvent. He also discussed other investors who were apparently waiting in the wings just before the company collapsed.

It is customary for Indian households to offer Gift to visitors.
Mandatory are the Kumkum(Vermillion) and Thamboola.
The Kumkum is a sign of wealth and prosperity and it represents Goddess Mahaslakshmi, called as Sri.
The significance of offering Kumkum is the wishes of the house holder that the visitor may be blessed with Prosperity.
Thamboola has three elements.
Coconut signifies the Blessings of the Trimurthis, Brahma, Vishnu and Rudra, represented as the three marks in the Coconut.
The areca nut iss attributed to Brahma, the Tambool (betel) leaf to Vishnu and lime to Mahesh.i
Lime is offered along with these in Hindu marriages after Food.
At the practical level, this mixture, when taken after food is good for digestion.
The Legend of Thamboola.
Mohini distributed Amrut (ambrosia) amongst various gods. The urn with the remaining of the Amrut was kept near Indra's elephant « Nagraja ». Growing inside the urn was a strange creeping plant and the gods became ecstatic. Vishnu ordered Dhanvantari to examine the plant. He thus discovered its stimulating quality. From then on, Vishnu began to offer its leaves, as a gesture of love and affection. Since, it is said , that the betel trine was born. It began to be associated with the Brahma-Vishnu-Mahesh Trinity. The areca nut was attributed to Brahma, the Tambool (betel) leaf to Vishnu and lime to Mahesh.
According to another legend, after the Pandavas' victory at Hastinapur, they began to have a fervent desire for Tambool. A messenger was urgently sent to the underground abode of the Queen of the snakes. The Queen, only too happy to oblige, cut the extreme phalange of her little finger and sent it to the Pandavas. The phalange was planted with great ceremony and soon the Betel plant grew out of the phalange. The creeper is since then referred to as « Nagveli » the snake plant. The ceremony of the leaves commemorates this origin and the Barais offer prayers to the God of snakes on the occasion.
Another version.
Once all dev gans (Devtas, Gods) assembled on Earth at a place called 'Naumi Sharayan' to perform some auspicious ceremony, and while they were approaching back to 'Bakunthya Dham' (Heaven) they all started feeling thirsty due to extreme heat on earth when a particular community came forward and quenched their thirst by serving them Beatle leaves .Impressed by their hospitality, the Devtas not only blessed them but also honoured them by gifting the title chaturashiitah i.e. 'CHAURASIA' . According to the Baudhâyanas'rauta-sûtra CHAURASIA's belong to Kashyapa, Some believe that they belong to [Bharadvâja],So there are many beliefs about Gotras .
In recent days people of this community are employed in a variety of occupations (some also refers themselves as 'Vaishya' i.e. traders,since becoming followers of Vallabhacharya ji, adopting Vaishanavism nearly 300 years ago.) and their religious traditions and culture are becoming less of a factor in daily life.
Details of Chaurasia Brahmins follows.
