Hurdle names Burnett Pirates' opening day starter
BRADENTON, Fla. (AP) For the first time in his career, A.J. Burnett is getting the call on opening day.
Pittsburgh Pirates manager Clint Hurdle has named the veteran righthander the team's starter when the Pirates begin the 2013 season at home on April 1 against the Chicago Cubs.
It's an honor the Pirates expected to bestow upon Burnett last spring after he came over in a trade with the New York Yankees, but Burnett fractured his orbital bone while trying to bunt during his first spring training workout and missed the first month of the season.
The 36-year-old made up for lost time, going 16-10 with a 3.51 ERA in 31 starts.
Hurdle said lefthander Wandy Rodriguez will start the second game but declined to set the rest of his rotation.

Speaking of Science
August 2011's selection of notable quotes
The Scientist Staff
Jul 31, 2011
Scientists can help with the question of where morality comes from, instead of just leaving it in the hands of philosophers, as used to be the case.
—Primatologist Frans de Waal, in an interview in Religious Dispatches magazine about whether humans are born selfish (May 5, 2011)
The discoveries of 21st-century science can't be predicted, but we can make one firm forecast: there will be a widening gulf between what science enables us to do and what applications it is prudent or ethical to pursue.
—Cosmologist and astrophysicist Martin Rees, in the New Statesman (June 9, 2011)
Frequently, the way to understand a complicated system is to understand its component parts, but that's probably not the case for the most interesting complicated systems—like us.
—Robert Sapolsky, Stanford University neuroscientist, summarizing the most vital lesson from his research for Seed magazine (April 22, 2011)
Throughout the past 30 or 40 years most criminologists couldn't say the word 'genetics' without spitting. Today the most compelling modern theories of crime and violence weave social and biological themes together.
—Duke University behavioral scientist Terrie E. Moffitt, in a New York Times article, "Genetic Basis for Crime: A New Look" (June 19, 2011)
If I could be an enzyme, I would be DNA helicase so I could unzip your genes.
—Anon., in a list of nerdy Twitter pickup lines published on Wired.com (May 31, 2011)

The Evil Spawn has a plan.
She wants me to repaint her playroom on our next Snow Day (as always, capitalized out of respect).
When we moved to our new house, she was just starting kindergarten. It was a no brainer to paint her favorite cartoon character on the wall of her playroom.
In what seems like 10 minutes later, she is headed towards 5th grade and junior high.
She's ready to change the wall.
I'm not so sure.
In her mind, this is a big step towards growing up.
In my mind, this is a big step away from her being a little girl.
Bye, SpongeBob.
Hello… I'm not quite sure.
A picture of the new wall will be coming soon. Check the weather.

Skilled personnel know how to resolve tough issues and make an operation run more smoothly. That's why training is the foundation of operational excellence. A well-trained team knows how to effectively utilize solutions enabling them to meet short- and long-term goals. Educated employees will not only help improve your operations, but provide them with a sense of ownership in the operation's results – a proven ingredient in employee satisfaction and retention.
Descartes Education and Training can bring your entire team the solution expertise they need to help them face and address many logistics challenges.
Learning Channels
Every training need is personal and each individual learns in different ways. Because of this, Descartes Education and Training offers courses through multiple learning channels. The solution training can be completed in combination or as an individual. Depending on your need, whether it is the level of detail, timing, available training time or budget, you can choose from the following channels.
Web-based Training
The Descartes Education and Training uses the leading online web-based training platform called MindFlash. We've selected this platform because of the broad range of features available enabling us to provide a high-quality, customer-focused training center. Web-based training provides an excellent way to get new employees up to speed quickly, educate employees new to an area, and refresh the knowledge of seasoned employees.
The web-based training is subscription based and will enable the trainees to utilize the online self-study methodology where they can learn at their own pace and on their own schedule. The course catalog has been divided by topic-specific recordings and PowerPoint modules. Each user will be required to have a unique login ID and password to access the training materials in their subscription package.
A few examples of the training materials are available here.
Live online seminar or web based training, is where participants in different remote locations join allowing them to hear the presenter, ask questions, and sometimes answer polls. This training channel is perfect for short training sessions (max three hours) dedicated to a specific subject. Moreover, it allows the training program to be setup in different modules spread over a longer time period.
On-site Training - Customer's Location
On-site training can be customized and scalable leading to more targeted results. It is typically used in conjunction with the implementation of the new solution. The Descartes Education and Training team will work together with your team to put together a customized training plan, then provide the guidelines and materials for the training session(s).
If you would prefer, we also offer a Train-the-Trainer option. First, we will conduct a complete on-site Solution Immersion Program with your company's facilitators attending as participants, this will be followed with a Train-the-Trainer Workshop.
In-class Training - Descartes Learning Center
This in-class training will be conducted at the Descartes Learning Center and will likely include attendees from more than one company. The sessions are designed to be fast-paced and interactive. Participants will work together and learn about the solutions. The classroom-style training enables participants from different companies to share their experiences and best practices. The training sessions will not only include the technical aspects of the solution, but will also include practical, real-world situations, challenges and solutions through hands-on activities, question and answer period with experienced industry experts and the ability to network with fellow participants.
The in-class training at a Descartes Learning Center location will be available at various dates/times throughout the year in the U.S., Canada and Europe. Future classes will be developed based on the demand for training on a particular solution.

Welcome to Operating Engineers Local 701
The International Union of Operating Engineers Local 701 represents heavy equipment operators, heavy duty repairers, technical engineers and stationary engineers throughout Oregon and Southwest Washington.
Since 1918, Local 701 has formed and shaped the roads, infrastructure and skylines of our region. We began with 312 members, predominately as boiler operators, whose work during World War I transformed into hoisting, portable and shipyard engineers.
Today we operate the constructions industry's largest cranes and most sophisticated pieces of construction equipment. Our construction members are regularly dispatched onto contracts worth millions of dollars, where hydraulic equipment enables us to work with power and speed. Our stationary members are engaged in many facets of the manufacturing industry, food production industry, building maintenance, hospitals and data center facilities. We are charged with operations and maintenance of mission and safety critical systems such as destroying the stockpile of old military ordnances stored near Boardman Oregon. Together we have grown Local 701 to more than 3,500 construction and stationary members.
IUOE Local 701 provides many services to our members and signatory contractors including training and continuing education, healthcare and pension programs, and centralized job dispatch.
Our team of professionals at the Local 701 headquarters in Gladstone, Oregon is dedicated to the idea that every member is the union. We firmly believe that our members are the most highly skilled and productive workers in the industry - and provide a greater value to their employers than non-union workers.
Local 701 is also an influential player in economic development, energy and transportation issues facing Oregon and SW Washington. And every day we stand up for job security, healthcare, pension plans, better wages and safer working conditions for our members. We work with our contractors, elected officials and government agencies at all levels to achieve these goals and protect and extend the rights and benefits achieved by our predecessors.
Many of our members are very active in our local communities – volunteering for a wide variety of activities and at times using their skills to assist on special projects. As an organization we help many charities – especially ones involved with the needs of children - and we have a college scholarship program for our member's kids.
To find out more about Local 701 please explore our website and we encourage you to contact us if you have any questions.

Hey, That's My Cape! JUSTICE LEAGUE: DOOM Review
I never know what to expect these days when I sit down to watch the latest animated feature from Warner Home Video. They've had a few titles that blew me away (Wonder Woman) and a few that disappointed (Green Lantern: First Flight), so expectations were high as I settled in for the premiere of Justice League: Doom. A great writer, great cast, and one of my favorite comic stories being adapted made me hopeful this would be a good one.With all that takes place in the film, it's a wonder it's coherent but it is, and it's tremendously entertaining. Each member of the League goes up against their rivals; Bane (so, so evil), Cheetah, Metallo, Star Sapphire, Mirror Master, and Ma'alefa'ak. The attacks take place almost simultaneously and though the action is quick, it's always clear and definitely epic. My jaw was on the floor during certain moments and I was loving every minute of it. The drama in each of these scenes is phenomenal but it's kicked up a notch as the team has to join forces against Vandal Savage's ultimate goal – killing a good portion of the world's population.
I had a few thoughts as the credits rolled. One was simply, wow. Another was, we need a new Justice League animated television series immediately. And lastly, that Justice League: Doom was perfect in my eyes and one hell of a sign off for McDuffie. Personal feelings aside, he crafted a spectacular script that has action, suspense, drama, and comedy in spades. A comic fan couldn't ask for more. If you haven't picked up a DC animated feature in a while, this is the one to buy.
Warner Home Video will be releasing Justice League: Doom on blu-ray, DVD and for download on February 28.

While compiling this list I discarded over 100 other samples where the target site had changed/moved.
My simple embed tool can help you achieve similar results for your site.
Or I have a well commented template which can also be used for the same purpose.

First three ingredients are named meat products.
Minimum acceptable meat content, some low quality grains.
The first three ingredients in the food are named meat products. The first two, however, are inclusive of water content, once this is removed as it must be to make a dry food, the ingredients will weigh around 20% of their wet weight. It is thus very unlikely that these are the true first ingredienst in the food, and it is more likely that they would be more accurately placed further down the ingredient list.
The true first ingredient in the food is chicken meal. There is a further meat meal ingredient (turkey) 8th on the ingredient list, but this is too far down for the ingredient to make a substantial contribution to the meat content of the food.
Salmon meal is also amongst the minor ingredients. We find no sign on the manufacturer website of a guarantee that they are using solely ethoxyquin-free ingredients in their food (ethoxyquin is a chemical preservative commonly added to fish ingredients, and that is believed to be carcinogenic).
The third ingredient and major grain in the food is brewers rice. This is a very low quality grain and a by-product. The fourth ingredient is barley, a good quality grain that we appreciate is whole. Oat groats (oats with hulls removed) and potatoes are also good quality ingredients.
We appreciate the range of fruits and vegetables included in the food, and a range of probiotics. We would prefer the use of whole egg rather than egg product.
With one true meat ingredient in the top five, this food may be rather light in meat content. We note also that the calcium and phosphorus levels are very low, which supports the suspicion that there is minimal meat. Combined with the major grain being one of very low quality, we retain some doubts about the quality of this product. After some deliberation, it has finally been awarded a 4-star rating, but is likely to be close to the bottom of this category and a 3-star rating was considered.

The architect, like other professions in the modern world distinguished by specialist training (doctors, engineers, etc.), cannot be conceived easily without some notion of 'expertise'.
History has not been kind to the reputation of Pope Honorius III (1216–27).
For generations of historians, the fall of the Christian-held city of Acre to the Mamluk forces of al-Ashraf Khalil in 1291 brought about the end of the crusading era.
The exhibition honouring the legacy of Richard the Lionheart (d. 1199) - king of England, knight and crusading leader - at the Historisches Museum der Pfalz Speyer, Germany, offers a royal tribute to the legacy of this famous medieval ruler. Pageantry, stateliness and effective design create a compelling narrative, supported by displays of the most important treasures of Richard's reign.
It was more than 30 years ago when Albert Hourani pointed to the common Ottoman lineages of the Arab political elite active in the inter-war Middle East. 'They had been at school together in Istanbul', he noted.
The second publication to appear in Routledge's Rulers of the Latin East series, Simon John's new book charts the career of Godfrey of Bouillon, a person who was, as the author notes, 'by any estimation … a significant historical figure' (p. 1).
The Uses of the Bible in Crusader Sources makes an important and timely intervention in the field of crusader studies.
Russia's tsars ruled over more Muslims than any other empire in the world.
Forging Islamic Power and Place: The Legacy of Shayk Da'ud bin 'Abd Allah al-Fatani in Mecca and Southeast Asia / Frances Bradley
In Forging Islamic Power and Place Francis Bradley (Pratt Institute) speaks to a broad audience of historians, religious studies scholars and, most specifically, students of Islamic intellectualism. The crux of the study is based upon the analysis of 1,300 manuscripts that have received minimal scholarly attention to date (p.
The Mercenary Mediterranean: Sovereignty, Religion and Violence in the Medieval Crown of Aragon / Hussein Fancy
Why would a hardened band of foreign jihādi warriors agree to work for a self-proclaimed leader of the Christian world – especially one militantly opposed to Islam, who kept his own Muslim citizens under close surveillance? And why would such a ruler choose to keep that particular type of professional killer in his personal employ?
