MadBum Dominant ... Then, We're All Bummed
We settled into our seats in Sec. 147 down the LF line. There were tons of Giants fans all around the ballpark, including in our section. Santiago, Leon, & I got one of those FanPhoto things in CF. Leon & I went down to the rail near where the position players were stretching & warming up, to try to get autographs, along with many other Giants' fans. When Buster came out to warm up, I felt relieved. Last July, we missed seeing him play due to the injury &, when he had played in Seattle on both Friday & Saturday nights, I was pretty sure that he'd be rested on Sunday - I held out hope that he'd DH, & there he was!
You walk into a game like this expecting to see some quality starting pitching - the game did not disappoint. Hernandez (or King Felix, as he is known at Safeco), whose time with the Mariners began after I left Seattle to return to Portland, was very impressive. Despite never topping 93 on the stadium radar, which surprised me, he blew people away, when he needed to. The Giants reverted to 2011 hitting form - putting men on, not coming up with the timely hit, not coming up with any extra base hits. But, don't get me wrong, Hernandez was sharp from beginning to end. His pitch count grew at a more rapid pace, which was the only way which I thought that we might outlast him. By the end of the 7th, it was clear that he was done for the day, which gave me hope.
While Hernandez was impressive, our own youthful MadBum was dominant. This was one of the most magnificent individual pitching performances I have ever witnessed first-hand. He had just enough of everything to keep hitters off-balance &, for the most part, off of the base paths. The gaudy stat is the 18 in-a-row he retired from Olivo's 2B in the 2nd Inning until Ackley's BB in the 8th Inning. But, it was more than just mowing guys down - it was the economy of pitches, it was the variations in speed & location, it was the harmlessness of nearly every ball hit to the outfield, it was the ability to get a whiff at just the right time (including his final batter in the 8th), it was his nimble fielding - I had never seen this guy pitch in-person, so I was excited to be getting the opportunity to do so - I was even more excited afterwards, hoping for hundreds of MadBum starts ahead for the Giants. His pitch economy allowed him to get through the 8th, & I had even more hope.
The Crawford tough at-bat & 1B off of Hernandez leading off the 7th should have been the start of good things. After all, as I remarked to the Giants fans from Santa Cruz sitting next to us, this gave them the remarkable chance to have the rarely seen consecutive productive at-bats from Crawford & Burriss. Naturally, Burriss blew that plan with his crappy bunt about 4 feet from home plate.
Justin Christian pinch ran in the top of the 8th. However, despite the fact that the Mariners had a Relief Pitcher in who can't hold runners very well & who had to endure the long pause, while the Home Plate Umpire was changed, Christian made no effort to advance - that was weird. Belt's 1B should have driven him in, after a stolen base.
The way that the top of 9th unfolded, this time including the unexpected contribution from Burriss, this time with a stolen base, looked very promising. I was all over the count mix-up during Blanco's at-bat, explaining it to my group & the other Giants' fans nearby. The tell-tale was when he swung at an apparent 3-0 pitch - Gregor Blanco would have never been turned loose 3-0 in that situation. It was obvious that the scoreboard was wrong. A couple of weeks ago, I was curious about Melky Cabrera - how could someone be batting 3rd in the order, be hitting over .360, but not really have very many RBI's? He's hitting much lower with Runners in Scoring Position (it's even worse with 2 outs & Runners in Scoring Position, although that wasn't the situation). But, a quick whiff was not what I was expecting. That was the crusher. Nate looked alternately good & bad on various pitches in his at-bat, but the final result was a simple chance for the 2B. With Romo trotting in, I still sensed extra innings.
Romo was not good. Lopez bought us some time with his fine play on the Saunders bunt, but threw a pretty fat one to Smoak. Off the bat, I thought 'that's the game - it's not going to be close'. But, Melky was on the ball unbelievably quickly & the ball shot out of his arm like a cannon blast. With our line of sight being so perfect for the play, I can assure you that the throw was right on line & getting there in a hurry. We were filled with excitement over the impending close play at the plate - I had that one second of 'we're gonna survive & keep on playing' moments ... then, it plunked Munenori Kawasaki (until he came in the game, I had never heard of him) in the back. I turned down & gave some sort of non-injury inducing swat to my seat, looked up & saw a pile of Mariners somewhere out in RF. We all looked at each other quizzically & started to gather up our things - it was a rough ending to a great day at the ballpark.
So, we are now 0-3 as a Family at Giants games, & 0-4, when you throw in the Guerreros de Oaxaca game we attended together in July 2008. This is not a good streak - we might have to hone our skills at some Salem-Keizer Volcano games in the near future. Our overall professional sports record is still very impressive, as, in no comination, have we ever seen the Blazers or Timbers lose a competitive game together. In the case of the Blazers, this is a fairly extensive streak, including playoff games. The Giants have won the World Series & Chelsea have won the Champions League, the Premier League, & the FA Cup (twice) since we've been a Family. Jonathan Sanchez pitched a no-hitter, & Matt Cain pitched a Perfect Game while we were watching. But, this in-person Giants monkey has to get off of our backs - so, we'll be working on it.
When all is said & done, the esteem in which I hold Madison Bumgarner has gone from high to extremely high. If that is the one thing that I take away from yesterday's experience, then it was well worth it ... that, & walking into a ballpark on a sunny Sunday afternoon with my Family!

Fabulous reportage, lad. Chip in more frequently, eh?
I think King Felix is a comp for Timmeh. Not as dominant as before, but still smart and tough. Still racks up innings and gets decisions (four wins on a last place team!). Still whiffs guys. The Freak can do that. Right?
I still have my Oxaca Guerreros jersey and fond memories of our trip down there. Loved the pix of the clan on FB.

From Baseball Musings:
The American League continues to best the National League in interleague play. With the weekend over, the AL leads with 96 wins to 72 for the NL, a .571 winning percentage for the junior circuit. The AL owns the battle offensively, scoring 4.6 runs per game to 3.9 for the NL.

Great nickname for Bumgarner - I assume that that means that, fueled by his recent HR against Houston, we are to look forward to a few years of both Pitching & Hitting, then a long career as an OF, during which he breaks Barry Bonds' lifetime HR record?

Sounds like a great Father's Day. Don't sweat your personal losing streak. It's what they call statistically insignificant.
That was a classic "pitchers duel" yesterday. To bad there was such a "meh" ending. The 3 pitch whiff by Melky was a stunner. I've come to expect greatness from him at all times.
- Mon Jun 18, 09:17:00 AM PDT
Excellent post. You only neglected to inform us of what you received from Safeco for being one of the first 20,000 men at the park for Father's day. A Safeco barbeque apron? A Mariners tie? An Ichiro snap brim hat?
We slipped another game behind the doggers. As good as we look at times, we lost 2 of 3 to a very weak team, and couldn't get a sweep from Houston either. I just don't see the Giants playing at a division leading pace yet. I would have thought that, after Matt's Cohiba (oh, wait, Perfecto) we would have a dose of confidence about our ability to score. Well, 1-3 since then. Perhaps I am making too much of a couple games.
And ix-nay on the great umbino-bay. It sounds too much like The Great Bumbler. Maddy is fine, and not vaguely insulting. Matty, Maddy and Tim. Matty, Maddy, Vogey and Tim. Lyrical, lends itself to poetry and song.
"Maddy or Matty, roll up a fatty."

First off, the giveaway was first 10,000 Dads only. But, it was actually pretty sweet. It was a reversible Mariners Fishing Hat, the 'S' logo w/ no advertising (!) on the blue side, & the compass logo w/ Trader Joe's logo on the green w/ blue fishy pattern side. It even seems to fit pretty well. May come in handy for gardening & some such.

Peril On The Rubicon
The famed Rubicon trail is in danger of being closed to wheeled motor vehicles because of supposed water quality issues. For further info, please visit: www.pirate4x4.com/rubicon
We need your help NOW!
In order to insure access all year long on the Rubicon Trail, we need as many of these affidavits presented to the CA Water Authority as possible. The document MUST be FAXED in before March 31st.
Please copy the following affidavit, print it out, sign it and date it, and then FAX it to:
Secondary fax 530-644-5234
Third fax 818-729-9258
Fourth fax 916-444-6915
** Download the Affidavit here (PDF file) **
If you have NEVER been on the Rubicon, use this affidavit
(use this one ONLY if you have NEVER been on the Rubicon before
Affidavit on
Rubicon Trail Use
1. My full name is ________________________________.
(Print name)
2. The information contained in this affidavit is based upon my
personal knowledge.
3. I plan on visiting the Rubicon Trail, as either a driver or
passenger, this coming year and/or in future years.
4. I consider myself to be an avid off-highway recreationist.
5. If the Rubicon Trail is closed, for any reason and at any time of
the year, I will choose, at the same time of the year, a different trail in
El Dorado County or an adjacent foothill county, to recreate in my, or
as a passenger in someone else's, off-highway vehicle.
I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of
California that the foregoing is true and correct
Date: ______________________, 2009
(Month and day)
And how the CBD is pushing this issue:
Protect the Rubicon From Off-road Vehicle Damage
The Rubicon Trail was once an American Indian footpath that was later used by trappers and explorers as a route through the Sierra Nevada. The trail runs through an important watershed and sensitive red-legged frog and Yosemite toad habitat on the Eldorado and Tahoe national forests. But today, the trail is sorely abused by thousands of off-road vehicles that cause extensive damage as they maneuver the steep and rocky trail.
Recognizing the problems inherent in off-road vehicle use on public lands, the Central Valley Regional Water Quality Control Board recently issued a draft Cleanup and Abatement Order for the Rubicon Trail that cites "mismanagement resulting in water quality impacts which include sediment discharges to surface waters, human sanitation problems and soil and water contamination." The order mandates decreased vehicle use and the termination of sediment and waste discharge. If adopted, the order would be a positive first step in addressing the destructive off-road vehicle traffic that is degrading water quality in the area and threatening both human and environmental health, including the destruction of rare riparian habitat.
This move to do what is legally and scientifically justified will likely be met with great opposition by those who want unfettered motorized access to the Rubicon. Please act now: Tell the Regional Board that you support this long overdue action and ask it to adopt the order.

Thanks for all the great information you post Dave.
I really hate when some one writes a letter like that without fact or study! Who wrote it? There is no factually information at all in that letter, only opinion. Sounds like their job should be the first one we go after.
As far as the red legged frog and Yosemite Toad... eat more frog legs! Then they won't be a problem!
The green extreme used a simalar situation back in the early 80's at Algodones Dunes also known as Glamis and Buttercup. Some endangered foo foo bird was laying it's eggs on shifting sands. It was a dumb bird and doomed from it's own stupidity! Yet they could not document ONE bird or egg being hurt or killed by an off road vehicle...
Ever hear of the Snowy Plover? We got run out of some stretches of the Oregon Dunes back in the '70's because of it's nesting habits.

Commercial, Military, Personal/Corporate, Public Service, Services
By Staff Writer | November 1, 2007

Having enjoyed a busy and successful, Sloane Helicopters Ltd. is re-branding itself to better reflect its market position in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The company is on target to achieve more than 40 new aircraft deliveries this year, including Robinson and AgustaWestland aircraft, to customers based both in the United Kingdom and Ireland.
The year's start saw the successful entry into service of the A109E Power with the Empire Test Pilot School at Boscombe Down, England. The aircraft is fully modified with a sophisticated electronics package that includes a flight test instrumentation kit, since it is largely used in training future civil and military test pilots.
The continuing effectiveness of the turnkey operation for the Warwickshire and Northamptonshire Air Ambulance Trust, enhanced by the reliability of the new A109 Power EMS aircraft that entered service in 2006, allowed the successful trial of an extended daily duty period during mid-year. Plans are to maintain that extended schedule into the future.
According to Sloane, product support and customer care continue to be key priorities in which it strives to improve. Sloane says it is investing significantly to meet the increasing requirements of a growing fleet and the demanding needs of customers. The most notable result of that investment is the brand-new, purpose-built, 12,000-sq-ft maintenance facility at St. Angelo Airport in Enniskillen. A team of skilled engineers, both relocated from Sywell and recruited locally, is expected to deliver more than 10,000 maintenance hours in that facility's first year of operation.
Plans call for development of Sloane's Sywell headquarters. Customers should benefit from a dedicated area with a restructured customer-service team and from largely improved and extended flight training facilities, including new and newly equipped briefing rooms and provisions for a flight training device starting in early 2008.
Finally, Sloane has undertaken a project to re-align its corporate image to better reflect its established position in the aviation market in the United Kingdom and Ireland. That new identity was unveiled at Helitech.

I don't see Tina, the best character
Joining Family Guy in Zen's "Balls of Glory" Pinball Pack is the vastly superior Bob's Burgers. The table is set up on the street outside the titular restaurant, with It's Your Funeral Home & Crematorium next door and Jimmy Pesto's across the way.
The whole family is here in some slick cel shading; Bob is manning the grill near the mustard-themed plunger, Linda is set up near a fire extinguisher toward the back, Gene is advertising in his burger costume out front, Louise is standing around across the street, and Tina... wait, where's Tina? Don't tell me they left out my favorite character! We can hear her near the end of the trailer, so maybe she has a role on the table not shown in the promotional material.
No specific release information is given past that this table is "coming" to Zen's titles, spanning basically all relevant platforms. The Family Guy table was slated for "fall," so if this is releasing along with it, we can expect it soon.

Spanish bond yields at record highJune 12, 2012: 11:13 AM ET
Spanish bond yields rose to a record high Tuesday as investors remain worried about the link between Spanish banks and the government.
The yield on 10-year Spanish bonds rose to 6.83%, marking the highest level since the euro was introduced in 1999.
"We're in uncharted territory," said Nick Stamenkovic, market strategist at RIA Capital Markets in Edinburgh.
Fitch downgraded the credit rating of 18 Spanish banks, pointing to the weak economy and the banks' exposure to bad real estate loans. That came one day after the agency cut its rating on the nation's two largest banks, Santander (STD) and BBVA (BBVA).
And last week, Fitch cut its rating on Spanish government debt to one step above junk status.>
Spain has requested up to 100 billion euros from the European Union to recapitalize insolvent banks. But the rescue plan failed to ease concerns about the Spanish government's ability to fund itself in the bond market.
The concern is that bailing out the banks will not solve the Spanish government's long-term debt problems. Indeed, many investors worry that Spain will eventually be forced to take a bailout similar to those provided for Greece, Portugal and Ireland.
Investors are also concerned that the cost of recapitalizing the banking sector will ultimately fall on the Spanish government.
"It now goes without saying that the challenges faced by the sovereign and banks in Spain are intrinsically linked," said Michael Symonds, a banking analyst at Daiwa Capital Markets.
The bailout plan has yet to be finalized and it remains to be seen how much money Madrid will need to clean up the banking sector. Fitch has estimated that the cost could reach 100 billion euros, while the International Monetary Fund said it would be at least 40 billion euros.
It's also unclear where the money will come from. Germany has called for the European Stability Facility to provide the capital, as opposed to the European Financial Stability Facility. The 500 billion euro ESM would be considered a preferred creditor, which means private sector bondholders would be effectively subordinated in any bailout of the Spanish government.
Meanwhile, investors are also concerned that the problems in Spain could spread to Italy. The yield on Italian 10-year bonds rose Tuesday to 6.15%.
Stamenkovic said the run-up in Spanish and Italian bond yields has raised speculation about an intervention by the European Central Bank. "The bailout for Spain has backfired and the markets are putting pressure on the ECB to do something," he said.
Related: Euro crisis is far from over
The ECB has purchased billions of euros worth of government debt under its Securities Market Program, which has been dormant for several weeks. It has also pumped over 1 trillion euros into the banking system by offering low-cost, long-term loans. The loans helped drive down borrowing costs for Spain and Italy as banks in those countries bought government debt.

My maternal family all hail from the south of Italy, most of them from the small town of Bitetto, outside of Bari.
I could be writing about il Cattedrale di San Michele Arcangelo, the church in town which undoubtedly played a role in the faith lives of my ancestors. (It occurs to me at this writing that the frequency with which the name Arcangela was used in my grandmother's family might bear testament to this.) But my main association with the cathedral in Bitetto is that when I visited the town, in college, I was met by my second cousin once removed and his young son. My Italian was better then than it is now, but I still didn't understand anything that was spoken in dialect, and didn't catch much of what was spoken in Italian. Still, I understood as young Donato, in the back seat, told his father that they should show me the cathedral - il primo cattedrale di Bitetto! ("The number one cathedral in Bitetto!") Only moments into my very first visit to the town, even I got the joke: there's only one cathedral in Bitetto.
But although I can speak to 10-year-olds making jokes that even barely proficient Americans can understand, I can't speak, in any meaningful way, to the importance of il primo cattedrale di Bitetto! in the faith lives of my ancestors. What I can speak to is the continuing importance of a different church, Il Santuario del Beato Giacomo di Bitetto, in the lives of people who trace their roots to Bitetto.
Il Beato Giacomo translates to "Blessed James" in English, but although he's occasionally thus named on English-language websites, even in America, no one refers to him in English. He's always Il Beato Giacomo, or just Il Beato (which just means "the blessed," but which somehow never gets confused with, say, Bl. Kateri Tekakwitha, or Bl. Benedict XI).
Il Beato was born in Croatia, and relocated to Bari, Italy, where he received a call to religious life and joined the Order of Friars Minor in Bitetto. During his life, he was known for his holiness and prayer life, including levitating during prayer. After his death, in 1896, his body was discovered to be incorrupt. It is currently on display in the Santuario Beato Giacomo in Bitetto. (Blessed Jakov Varinguez, saints.sqpn.com)
|My "doors of faith": Il Santuario Beato Giacomo
|Image source: Santuario Beato Giacomo - Bitetto. http://www.beatogiacomo.it/
If you look around, you'll find traces of il Beato throughout the lives of my family and, I'm sure, others from the area. There's a framed image of il Beato Giacomo's incorrupt body in my grandparents' home. My mom has a prayer card in her car. I just reached into my wallet and pulled out these, a card and a medal:
Beato Giacomo, ora pro nobis.

text: Recent JavaScript Jabber Podcast - Microsoft, not Microsoft, and the Web August 20, '13 Comments [41] Posted in Javascript | Podcast Sponsored By I was a guest recently on a podcast called JavaScript Jabber. I enjoy checking out other folks' podcasts and how they run things. I actually talked to the guys about sound quality for about 30 min before the actual recording started. Their show is about JavaScript exclusively so we spent about an hour talking shop. Here's a few quotes...yes, I'm quoting myself. On my blog. We talked about Open Source: I don't care if it's not Entity Framework. If you want to use NHibernate or RavenDB or CouchDB, dude, knock yourself out. But ultimately, the dirty little secret about Microsoft is they want you to run on Windows. Okay, well you don't run Windows. You guys run Macs. Okay. But maybe you'll discover that Azure is actually a pretty kickass cloud service and you'll run your stuff on Azure, which is Windows. We talked about using the client machine more effectively: I hear a lot of people say, "Hey, we run a web farm and we've got about ten machines in the farm and it just can't handle the load. We're going to need to buy an 11th machine." Then you talk to them and they'll say something like, "Well we've got 10,000 people hitting the site," and I'll think to myself, "Okay, you've got 10 machines in the farm and you have 10,000 people hitting the sites. All those people have quad processors, even if they have a phone. Are those processors really working hard? You've got 40,000 unused processors just sitting there and they're waiting for your 10 processors to give them angle brackets. What if you gave them curly braces and let them do the work?" I think the podcast turned out fairly well, although there was a little tension as I felt I was being asked to make declarative statements and defend historical stuff I didn't work on. I think I made it very clear that my opinions about the industry are just that, opinions, and mine alone. That said, we talked about node, JavaScript in general, the way the industry is moving with respect to where work happens (client vs. server) and a bunch of other things. They called this episode "JavaScript Strategies at Microsoft with Scott Hanselman." Other than the "with Scott Hanselman" part, this title is problematic. The hosts are fine folks and I had a pleasant time. I think because of the title of the episode this particular episode has been getting a LOT of Tweets and appeared on Hacker News and Reddit for a short while. I wouldn't have chosen this title, myself. It implies I have anything to do with JavaScript at Microsoft. I don't. I do work in Azure and Web Tools and I often give my opinions on the JavaScript Editor, on what we do with Node, and how frameworks like Ember and Angular will be presented in VS, but I am not in charge of anything. I give feedback just like dozens (hundreds?) of other random folks inside the Big House. It implies I'm some how strategic, strategically involved or know strategery within JavaScript at Microsoft. Again, JavaScript on the client is the Chakra engine and the IE team. I don't work for them, no do I claim (and never have) to speak for them. It implies I'm a spokesman for Microsoft. I'm an enthusiast and a teacher, but not a marketer or spokesman. I speak, and yes, I do have this blog, but it's mine and its writings and opinions are mine. I often write about Microsoft stuff because I work there, but I worked elsewhere for 15 years and blogged that also. I blogged and podcast before I got to Microsoft and I will continue to blog and podcast after I leave. I am not my job. I would encourage you to check out the podcast episode yourself and see what you think. It also includes a complete transcription, which is a nice touch and very important.

Read more about the Diamant
Diamante sails round trip from Grenada, for six nights, through the Grenadine Islands. Itinerary may vary depending upon the wind and weather. You may stop at 5 islands along the way.
Grenada is the fruit basket of the Caribbean. The fertile soils of the 'Spice Island' are perfect for growing cinnamon, cloves, and cocoa beans. Banana trees grow as tall as palms along the sides of the road. The scents of ginger, vanilla, almond and nutmeg linger in the air, while the countryside explodes with every tropical fruit imaginable. The bustling farmers' market in picturesque St. George is one of the Caribbean's liveliest and most replendent. This old and busy small seaport is part of an 18th-century British West Indian colonial town climbing the steep hills. Small, stucco, stone and brick buildings with winding narrow cobblestone streets reflect both the French and English legacy of this island. Large fruit-ships are loading, small ships coming and going, inter-island "one spar" schooners making the run to Trinidad, fishing boats landing their catch, the town market selling spices and produce and engaging in lively banter, marathon domino games in back street shops and reggae music pulsing on every corner. Ancient rum factories at 17th-century cane plantations, island "jump ups" (dance parties). At Grenada you must take in the whole island: The Fishing Town of Guave, stunning blazing beauty of Grand Anse Beach, and spice plantations still using the equipment of plantation days. If there is a Calypso Competition advertised then we must attend. No mere contest, this is a rank-off competition of the first order. Beautiful jungle waterfalls, and you must try the grilled chicken at a roadside barbeque. Busy, bustling, and very, very West Indian.
Peaceful and removed describes this patch of paradise. Green rolling hills descend to sandy white beaches (typical of the Grenadines.) At Tyrrel Bay, under the shade of palms at the edge of the sea, you can watch local men building schooners by hand. Still unspoiled by mass tourism, this is the perfect spot for getting away-from-it-all.
Mayreau, Grenadine Islands
The island of Mayreau is a true break from reality, with only one road, virtually no development, and farm animals outnumbering the inhabitants. One of the Grenadines, in the larger chain of Windward Islands, it has beautiful beaches, and plenty of solitude. View it as your own private island.
Sandy Island, Anguilla (Brit. Overseas Territory)
Tobago Cays (St. Vincent & Grenadines)
The five small islands of the Tobago Cays are an archipelago with extensive coral reefs located in the Southern Grenadines, and make up the Tobago Cays Marine Park. These uninhabited cays offer heavenly lagoons with green turtles, colorful fishes and crystal clear waters.
Union Island, , Grenadines
The most southerly island of the Grenadines, Union Island is a mere three miles by one mile, garnished with two dramatic peaks and a population of 2000. Once you land on shore, you won't want to leave. Union Island is a sailor's delight offering pretty anchorages, a couple of rowdy bars and some good restaurants. There is mile after mile of undisturbed sand and wild mangoes for the taking.

The current study was aimed at carrying out a comprehensive population- based epidemiological study of candidiasis among women and school children in the city of Nablus. The study investigated the susceptibility of recovered yeast isolates to selected drugs and certain plant extracts and the cytotoxic effects of certain plant extracts on selected human cell lines. The study was conducted during the period of January- May 2002. It involved 119 women, attending a gynecologist private clinic, and 463 school children aged 15-18 years (251 males and 212 females). Of the 119 women complaining from vaginal discharge and suspected for yeast infection, 63 (52.9%) were yeast positive. Associated symptoms included itching (22.5%), dysparenia (8.9%), burning and dysurea (8.9%), urinary tract infection (7.9%), bad odor (7.9%) and other symptoms (17.5%). The highest rate of infection was observed among women aged (21-30); women residents in villages (61.9%) and in pregnant women (58.1%).
The infection rates of 36.3% and 19.8% were found among male and female school children, respectively. The most prevalent symptom among both males and females was interdigital (92.3% and 57.1%), respectively. Male refugee camp inhabitants showed the highest infection rates (85%), compared to city (66.2%) and village (40.0%) residents. Whereas female population showed the highest rate of infection among village residents (100%) compared to city (68.9%) and refugee camp (38.1%) inhabitants. Other mycotic infections showed the highest percentage of associated disorders (19.8%) among males, whereas eczema was the predominant associated disorder among females (9.5%). Other practices such as use of common facilities did not seem to indicate an association between such practice and infection in both males and females, while contact with domestic animals showed a significant association with infection in both males (58.2%) and females (80.9%). Feet drying practice showed a convenient positive association with infection especially among females who reported not to dry their feet (64.3%), whereas it was contradictory in males who claimed to dry their feet but showed a positive yeast infection (57.1%).
With respect to anticandidal activity of plant extracts, all tested plants showed pronounced activity to various degrees. Allium sativum (Garlic) showed the highest effect (100%) followed by Pistacia lentiscus (3.8%), Salvia dominica (2.25%) and Petrosilinum sativum (2.25%) compared to reference antibiotics (Nystatin and Econazole).
Studies on the cytotoxic effects of plant extracts (Anagalis arvensis, Anthemis tictoria L. and Parieteria diffusa) against human cell lines showed that all extracts were cytotoxic at ≥ 500 μg against HT29 human cell line, more pronounced effects were observed for Parieteria diffusa and Anagalis arvensis, respectively. Anthemis tinctoria L. showed the most pronounced effect against human cell line L929, however, extracts of Anagalis arvensis and Parieteria diffusa showed effects at ≥ 500 μg. All three extracts showed cytotoxic effects at ≥ 5000 μg against cell line Hep G2, however, Anagalis arvensis showed the same effect at ≥ 500 μg. Anthemis tinctoria L. showed a pronounced cytotoxic effect at ≥ 5000 μg against human pulp fibroblasts, however, Anagalis arvensis and Parieteria diffusa showed reduced effects using the same concentration compared to their effects at 500 μg.

Well, so what's the conclusion? – Garlic is as good as antibiotics against candidiasis ; what about its cytotoxic effects?, how to use garlic in the treatment?

KABUL, Afghanistan - Four American servicemembers were killed Wednesday when their helicopter was shot down by enemy fire in Afghanistan's Helmand province, U.S. military officials told NBC News.
Taliban spokesman Qari Yousef Ahmadi claimed responsibility on behalf of the insurgents, saying militants shot down the helicopter with two rockets.
Helmand provincial government spokesman Daoud Ahmadi said the attack occurred about midday in Sangin province.
U.S. & World
Both U.S. and British troops are operating in Helmand, part of a band of provinces across southern Afghanistan that are the Taliban's heartland.
U.S. troops have been building up strength in the south as part of President Obama's surge strategy to try to bring an end to the nearly nine-year-old insurgency.
Obama last December ordered some 30,000 more U.S. troops to Afghanistan, and most of them are due to be deployed in the south.
U.S. commanders are planning a major operation in Kandahar that they hope will turn the tide of the war in time for American troops to begin withdrawing on Obama's stated timetable starting in July 2011. Helmand province abuts Kandahar.
Insurgents have stepped up attacks ahead of the Kandahar operation. The spike in violence has killed 28 NATO troops this month, including Wednesday's casualties.

Coronavirus advice
Get advice about coronavirus and looking after your mental wellbeing:
GAD can cause both psychological (mental) and physical symptoms.
These vary from person to person, but can include:
- feeling restless or worried
- having trouble concentrating or sleeping
- dizziness or heart palpitations
When to get help for anxiety
Although feelings of anxiety at certain times are completely normal, see a GP if anxiety is affecting your daily life or causing you distress.
Your GP will ask about your symptoms and your worries, fears and emotions to find out if you could have GAD.
What causes generalised anxiety disorder (GAD)?
The exact cause of GAD is not fully understood, although it's likely that a combination of several factors plays a role.
Research has suggested that these may include:
- overactivity in areas of the brain involved in emotions and behaviour
- an imbalance of the brain chemicals serotonin and noradrenaline, which are involved in the control and regulation of mood
- the genes you inherit from your parents – you're estimated to be 5 times more likely to develop GAD if you have a close relative with the condition
- having a history of stressful or traumatic experiences, such as domestic violence, child abuse or bullying
- having a painful long-term health condition, such as arthritis
- having a history of drug or alcohol misuse
But many people develop GAD for no apparent reason.
Who's affected
GAD is a common condition, estimated to affect up to 5% of the UK population.
Slightly more women are affected than men, and the condition is more common in people from the ages of 35 to 59.
How GAD is treated
GAD can have a significant effect on your daily life, but several different treatments are available that can ease your symptoms.
These include:
- psychological therapies – you can get psychological therapies like cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) on the NHS; you do not need a referral from a GP and you can refer yourself for psychological therapies service in your area
- medicine – such as a type of antidepressant called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
With treatment, many people are able to control their anxiety levels. But some treatments may need to be continued for a long time and there may be periods when your symptoms worsen.
There are also many things you can do yourself to help reduce your anxiety, such as:
- going on a self-help course
- exercising regularly
- stopping smoking
- cutting down on the amount of alcohol and caffeine you drink
- trying 1 of the mental health apps and tools in the NHS Apps Library

A 15-year-old boy suspected of shooting and critically wounding a fellow student on the first day of classes at a Baltimore high school has been charged with first-degree attempted murder, police said Tuesday.
Robert Wayne Gladden Jr. is being charged as an adult and also faces a first-degree assault charge stemming from Monday's shooting, according to Baltimore County Police Department spokeswoman Susan Hunt.
Hunt said Gladden, who is being held without bail, is cooperating with authorities. A preliminary hearing has been scheduled for Sept. 7.
The 17-year-old victim, whose name has not been released, remains in critical condition at the University of Maryland's Shock Trauma center. The extent of his injuries is not known.
The shooting took place just before 11 a.m. at Perry Hall High School, voted one of America's Best High Schools by Newsweek magazine in 2010, in suburban northeast Baltimore.
Police believe the attacker chose his victim at random, another police spokeswoman, Julia Hardgrove, said on Monday. She said several other students suffered minor injuries.
The suspect was tackled by faculty members and held until police arrived, officials said.
The shooting is the latest incident of gun violence in a summer plagued by troubling shootings in the United States.
In July, a gunman killed 12 people and wounded 58 at a movie theater in Aurora, Colorado. In August, a suspect described by authorities as a white supremacist killed six people outside a Sikh temple in Wisconsin before committing suicide.

Stocks fall on debt limit worries
Stocks fell on Friday as investors focused on the risk that the U.S. government could shut down next week.
Also on Friday, a government report showed that incomes and consumer spending grew slightly last month. The increases suggest anemic growth that is not strong enough to accelerate the economic recovery.
The Dow Jones industrial average fell 82 points, or 0.5 percent, to 15,245 as of 11 a.m. Eastern Time Friday. The Standard & Poor's 500 index fell seven points to 1,691. The Nasdaq composite fell four points to 3,783.
Unless stock prices turn around, Friday would be the sixth trading day of the past seven with declines for the S&P 500 and Dow.
Two financial deadlines loom for the U.S. government. Congress needs to pass a funding bill to keep the government operating after Oct. 1, when the federal government's new fiscal year starts. There is also the issue of the nation's debt ceiling, which needs to be raised before Oct. 17
All 10 industry groups in the S&P 500 index fell. Telecommunications stocks had the biggest declines.
J.C. Penney Co. said it expects to raise about $811 million through a stock offering. Its stock slid 95 cents, or 9 percent, to $9.48 as investors anticipated that their stake in the company would shrink after the company's pool of shares grows.
United Continental Holdings Inc. slid because its projected third-quarter revenue is coming in below Wall Street's expectations. The airline's stock fell $2.20, or 6 percent, to $31.89.
Nike shares jumped $3.90, or 6 percent, to $74.21 after the shoe and apparel company reported a quarterly profit that was higher than financial analysts expected.
The yield on the 10-year Treasury fell to 2.62 percent, from 2.64 percent on Thursday.

Regular readers of our column know that we are unabashed fans and supporters of the humanities and the creative and performing arts. We believe that the world's thorniest problems will not be solved—nor will our nation be secure—without an understanding of ethics, cultures other than our own, and what it means to be fully human. And we have seen first-hand that students who complete liberal arts degrees have deeply satisfying—and productive—personal and professional lives.
Such reassurances, however, may not be enough to satisfy high school seniors, undergraduates, and their parents. We hope the economic value of a degree isn't the only reason young people come to college, but we recognize that it's a big reason, and increasingly so in the wake of the global recession and intensifying global competition. Given the cost of a college education, moreover, we understand why so many parents and students want to know which majors are most likely to result in jobs with high incomes.
We'd love to point to data indicating that majors don't matter in employment, starting salaries and lifelong earnings. But facts are stubborn things. Last January the Center on Education and the Workforce at Georgetown University published Hard Times: College Majors, Unemployment and Earnings, and in mid-October the U.S. Census Bureau released a pair of briefings based on data from the American Community Survey, and the two studies reached the same conclusions. Individuals with engineering degrees, they indicate, experience lower unemployment and make more money than graduates with any other major. Undergraduate majors in computer science, mathematics, statistics, business, life sciences, and physical sciences are next in line. Liberal arts majors are at the back of this pack.
In Pictures: 10 Worst College Majors
There is a lot more, however, to this story. Liberal arts majors actually do just fine, with incomes far in excess of the median in the United States. And many of them, like the Cornell graduates surveyed in 2009 (download here), are as satisfied or more satisfied with their lives as their classmates in other disciplines. For them, to quote an English proverb, enough is as good as a feast.
The liberal arts, moreover, also serves as a preferred pathway to rewarding and remunerative careers. According to the Association of American Medical Colleges (AAMC), medical schools accepted 43 percent of the biological sciences majors, 47 percent of physical sciences majors, 51 percent of humanities majors, and 45 percent of social sciences majors who applied in 2010. "Admission committee members know that medical students can develop the essential skills of acquiring, synthesizing, applying and communicating information through a wide varietyof academic disciplines," the AAMC states.
In Pictures: 15 Most Valuable College Majors
The American Bar Association agrees: "The ABA does not recommend any undergraduate majors or group of courses to prepare for a legal education. Students are admitted to law school from almost every academic discipline." A study by a Chicago State University professor bears this out: the top ten majors with the highest acceptance rates for law school include philosophy, anthropology, history and English. Both organizations advise prospective applicants to choose majors that interest and challenge them, work hard for excellent grades, develop their research and writing skills and make the most of the opportunities that come their way.
These statistics remind us how important it is for students to major in what they enjoy most and what they're best at. When they do so, they're more likely to excel in their classes and enhance their career options. Those who complete post-baccalaureate study will enhance their chances of eating their cake and having it too, with prestigious, high-paying jobs and, equally important, from our point of view, fulfilling work that allows them to make a difference in the world.
And so, when students and parents ask, "What can I do with a liberal arts major?" the right answer, grounded in the evidence, is "A lot. A whole lot."

Self-preservation is the first law of nature. All animals, down to single-celled organisms, have the natural instinct to defend themselves. The Founding Fathers tried to enshrine the natural law of self-defense in the Bill of Rights under the 2nd Amendment, instructing their new government that it "shall not infringe" on Americans' right to ward off individual attackers or tyrannical government.
But today, the politicians in Washington have shredded the Constitution and want Americans to be defenseless slaves, disarmed and lower than even amoebas.
Consider what Bill Clinton, who signed an assault weapons ban into "law" in 1994, said about Americans and their pesky freedoms:
"When we got organized as a country and we wrote a fairly radical Constitution with a radical Bill of Rights, giving a radical amount of individual freedom to Americans, it was assumed that the Americans who had that freedom would use it responsibly…. [However, now] there's a lot of irresponsibility. And so a lot of people say there's too much freedom. When personal freedom's being abused, you have to move to limit it."

Here's Steve doing a superb job of cooking us dinner on our portable BBQ, which we got from Firebox. It's really cool because it folds really flat and comes in a carrying bag. They don't sell this model anymore, but they have a new one which looks just as good: Portable BBQ Grill.
We put it on top of the big BBQ so that it was at a perfect height for cooking. There was only 4 of us, so it wasn't worth cleaning up the big BBQ and the portable one was really good. This is only the second time we've used it, the last time was in West Wittering, when it also rained! Maybe it's jinxed?
Unfortunately it did start to rain, but we persevered and just got the brolly out and then the rain stopped and we had a lovely meal outside in the Breeze House.

Rushdi Tamimi becomes second victim of Israeli army in Nabi Saleh

Nabi Saleh
Send by email:
Photos by E. Van R and Lazar Simeonov. On Tuesday November 21st, the body of 31 year old Rushdi Tamimi was laid to rest in the small cemetery in his village of Nabi Saleh. Rushdi was among a group of protesters from his village who demonstrated on Saturday against the Israeli military incursion on Gaza. He was shot at three times, twice by rubber bullets and once by live ammunition in his torso. The Israeli army prevented villagers, medics and family members from reaching Rushdi in order to move him to an ambulance for over twenty minutes. Eventually, he was evacuated to Ramallah Hospital, were he was immediately operated on for ruptures in his intestines and two of his arteries. On Monday late afternoon, Rushdi passed away in the hospital after succumbing to his wounds. Almost a year ago in December 2011, 28 year old Mustafa Tamimi was killed during the village's Friday protest after an Israeli occupation soldier shot at his face with a tear gas canister from a distance of three meters. It was the first murder the Israeli army had committed in the village, and without any reparations or accountability brought to the soldier who pulled the trigger, it is more likely there was going to be another chance that the army would repeat their policy of "killing with impunity." Since the beginning of the nonviolent popular resistance movement back in 2003, almost two dozen unarmed Palestinians have been killed in protests, five coming from the village of Ni'lin alone. Rushdi Tamimi, father of 2 and a half year old Shatha, was a policeman and a favorite figure for children in the village. He worked as a policeman and was buried in his uniform, after a funeral procession that set off from Ramallah Hospital to the city center was attended by police officers, some marching silently in rigid formation, others sitting formerly in the pick up truck Rushdi's body was in. The funeral march continued on passed Atara checkpoint, where the Israeli border police officers were present, eyeing the masked youth who had gathered opposite them from a distance. Once the procession reached Nabi Saleh, clashes broke out at Atara as the youth threw rocks at the Israeli border police, who in turn responded with rubber bullets and tear gas. Following Rushdi's burial, the Israeli army entered the village and began shooting rubber coated steel bullets and tear gas as the protesters who had made their way to the land near the military watchtower at the entrance of Nabi Saleh. Live ammunition was heard once and briefly in the late afternoon, and the skunk trunk entered and sprayed the main road next to the gas station. A couple of protesters were injured lightly by rubber bullets. The killing of unarmed protesters in Nabi Saleh and elsewhere at the hands of the Israeli army must not go unchecked without accountability and justice done. The international community has a role to apply significant pressure on their governments to put an end to Israel's culture of impunity. Rushdi's death only strengthened the protesters' resolve in resisting against the Israeli occupation. As the chants reverberated from Ramallah to Nabi Saleh, "O martyr rest in peace, and we will continue the struggle."

New Kid on the List: HD Supply
It's always been hard to ignore Home Depot, even for pro dealers who feel insulated from the Atlanta retailer. With more than 2,000 retail locations, there's usually a big orange box near any job site for fill-in orders or quick runs.
But the competition from the world's largest home center got more serious in 2005, when the Atlanta retailer purchased Williams Bros., a 16-unit chain of Atlanta-area lumberyards, and announced its intention to roll up other pro dealers under the HD Supply banner. By the time 2006 was over, HD Supply had purchased Forest Products Supply, a lumber, hardwoods and millwork dealer in Sarasota, Fla., and Cox Lumber, a St. Petersburg., Fla.-based dealer with 11 truss plants, 15 door shops and 28 lumberyards.
All three pro dealers have grown in size since their acquisition, and now a group of private investment firms are buying HD Supply. What the new owners will do remains to be seen, but HD Supply has taken its place on HCN's Top 350 Pro Dealer list this year. Home Depot does not break out revenues by divisions, so HCN editors estimated sales by looking at previous years' figures, analyzing building activity in the local markets, and talking to people familiar with the companies.
The result? The $12.1 billion division had an estimated $875 million in lumber and building materials sales in 2006, placing HD Supply in 11th place on the Pro Dealer Top 350 Scoreboard.

Send a link to a friend
[November 26, 2012]
(AP) -- Andre Iguodala scored 23 points, Kenneth Faried had his eighth double-double of the season and the Denver Nuggets beat the struggling New Orleans Hornets 102-84 on Sunday night.
Iguodala was coming off a 29-point effort against Golden State. Faried had 14 points and 12 rebounds for Denver, winners of four straight.
Ty Lawson had 17 points and six assists for the Nuggets who are 4-1 at home.
Reserve Brian Roberts led New Orleans with 17 points. Ryan Anderson added 16, but was held scoreless in the second half.
The Hornets have lost seven straight.
The Hornets avoided their most lopsided loss of the year. New Orleans had lost by 22 to the New York Knicks.
Denver blew the game open in the third quarter. Making 11 of 18 shots, the Nuggets outscored New Orleans 32-20.
Lawson had 11 points in the quarter, and made three consecutive shots, the last a 19-footer off a pass from Kosta Koufos with 3:50 left to boost the Nuggets lead to 78-50.
Roberts scored six points in the last 3:47 to get the Hornets to 83-61 at the end of the quarter.
Denver turned the game over to its substitutes early in the fourth quarter. Only Koufos was on the floor at the finish.
[to top of second column]
New Orleans made the most of it. Roberts hit a wide open shot from the wing, closing the gap to 94-75 with 4:43 left. Corey Brewer and Evan Fournier hit jumpers to get the lead back to 98-76.
New Orleans' Jason Smith's basket tied the game at 26 early in the second quarter, the last time the Hornets trailed or led. It was a quarter of 10-0 runs. Andre Miller put the Nuggets up 38-28 with a pair of free throws, but Robin Lopez's dunk ended a 10-0 rally to cut the deficit 40-38.
The Nuggets started to pulling away and held a 51-41 edge at the break. They continued to roll into the third quarter when Faried started the second half with a jam off a steal.
NOTES: Olympian Missy Franklin was awarded the game ball before the tip. .. There was no update on the progress of Hornets center/forward Anthony Davis (left ankle). ... Colorado State alum Smith played after being poked in the eye in the team's loss to Phoenix. ... Smith a Kersey, Colo., native was relieved to have only a dozen requests for tickets from the town of 2,229. "Much different from the first time through when the whole town seemed to be here." ... Denver was without forward Wilson Chandler (left hip) for the sixth straight game. ... Iguodala used both hands to drop a dunk a minute after clanging a one-handed slam.

I remember visiting Blackpool as a child, thinking it was the most exciting place on earth. Sadly like many of England's sea side resorts Blackpool is looking a little tired but it's always nice to revisit a place with so many fun childhood memories. Having grown up in the north of England Blackpool was our Disneyland, it had everything a little Nadinoo could want from a day out..

GDANSK, Poland, July 30 (UPI) -- Before visiting Poland, Mitt Romney faced criticism for remarks made in Israel Monday about Palestinians' lagging economy, angering Palestinian leaders.
The presumptive Republican U.S. presidential nominee suggested the Israeli economy is outpacing that of the Palestinians because of "the power of culture."
Speaking at a breakfast fundraiser Monday at Jerusalem's King David Hotel, Romney pointed out the difference in gross domestic product between "Israel, which is about $21,000, and compare that with the GDP per capita just across, the areas managed by the Palestinian Authority, which is more like $10,000 per capita, you notice a dramatically stark difference in economic vitality."
Statistics from the World Bank indicate the difference is actually $31,282 for Israel and $1,600 for the Palestinian areas.
Romney did not mention that Israel controls crossings to Palestinian areas, imposed a blockade in 2007 on its border with Gaza, and continues to restrict Palestinian trade and movement in the West Bank, The Washington Post noted Monday.
Romney pointed out he had read "The Wealth and Poverty of Nations" by David S. Landes, and "Guns, Germs and Steel" by Jared Diamond, two books that attempt to explain the influences behind the relative success or failure of adjacent countries. Diamond's book argues that physical characteristics of the land are a primary factor, while Landes suggests it is the culture of the people.
"Culture makes all the difference," Romney said. "And as I come here and I look out over this city and consider the accomplishments of the people of this nation, I recognize the power of at least culture and a few other things."
The comments drew immediate criticism from Palestinian officials.
"All I can say is that this man needs a lot of education," said Saeb Erekat, a top aide to Palestinian Authority President Abbas who also is the Palestinians' chief negotiator. "To talk about the Palestinians as an inferior culture is really a racist statement.
"He should know that the Palestinians will never reach their economic potential under Israeli occupation, and if he doesn't know the facts he has a lot to learn. The harm he has done to American interests throughout the region is enormous."
Romney also said preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear capability should be Washington's "highest national security priority" and "no option should be excluded" in the effort.
The U.S. politician's Poland visit -- the last leg of a trip that began in London last week -- was to start in Gdansk, on the Baltic coast, where the pro-freedom Solidarity trade union federation emerged in 1980 under the leadership of Lech Wałesa.
Romney was to visit Solidarity Square at the edge of the Gdansk Shipyard, where the Solidarity movement first took hold -- a movement that ultimately contributed to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the end of the Cold War.
Poland was under Soviet Communist dominance from 1945 to 1989.
Romney was also to meet with Walesa, an electrician by trade, with no higher education, who was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1983 and became the president of a free Poland in 1990.
Throughout the visit, the shadow of Reagan will loom large as another voice against Soviet oppression, McClatchy Newspapers said. A bronze statue of Reagan was unveiled this month in Gdansk's Ronald Reagan Park.
Romney was also to meet with Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Gdansk Monday and visit Westerplatte, a Gdansk peninsula where the first clash between Polish and German forces during the invasion of Poland occurred in 1939, making the first battle of the European theater of World War II.
Romney is to be in Warsaw Tuesday, where he'll deliver a speech discussing "the U.S.-Poland relationship and the values of liberty," his campaign said.

WASHINGTON, D.C. - Secretary Chu announced today that the Department of Energy has issued a final determination and market impact study for the proposed uranium transfer to fund accelerated cleanup activities at the Portsmouth Site in Piketon, Ohio, which will create between 800 to 1,000 new jobs for the community. The market review and determination confirms that the proposed transfer of uranium will not have an adverse material impact on the domestic uranium industries.
Under the determination, DOE's Office of Environmental Management will be able to transfer as much as 300 metric tons of uranium per quarter in calendar years 2009 and 2010 for cleanup at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, so long as the total transfer during that period does not exceed 1,125 metric tons of uranium. The uranium transfers will be consistent with the policies reflected in the Department's Excess Uranium Management Plan and will comply with all applicable laws to ensure minimal impact on the domestic uranium market. The Department believes that the proposed uranium transfer would raise $150-$200 million per year.
The Secretary's Determination is based on a market impact analysis performed by Energy Resources International, Inc. (ERI), evaluating the potential effect from transferring specific quantities of the Department's excess natural uranium hexafluoride (UF6) on the commercial nuclear fuel markets in order to fund the accelerated cleanup work at the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant. The determination and analysis took into account the uranium transfers under the Office of Environmental Management along with scheduled transfers by the National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA).
This Secretarial Determination of No Adverse Material Impact refers only to the proposed action to transfer excess uranium to fund the 2009 and 2010 cleanup efforts activities. A separate determination will be required later regarding possible transfers of uranium to fund decontamination and decommissioning activities at the Portsmouth Plant after calendar year 2010.

In Walter Isaacson's biography of Steve Jobs, the late Apple co-founder had little positive to say about Bill Gates.
In the book Jobs said Gates "would be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram."
But those harsh words thawed towards the end of Jobs life, according to Gates.
The former head of Microsoft, who Jobs once accused of stealing from Macintosh to develop Windows, said he spent a lot of times with the former Apple CEO in the last year of his life.
Gates told an audience in London recently that his relationship with Jobs began to change when he left Microsoft in 2007 to do philanthropic work.
"Steve and I did an event together, and he couldn't have been nicer…I got a fair bit of time with him in his last year," Gates said, according to the Telegraph.
Just a few months before Jobs passed away, Gates visited him and spent hours talking about the past and the future and he wrotes Jobs a letter praising him for his work and talking about getting to know his children.
After Jobs died, his widow, Lauren Powell Jobs, called Gates to make sure to clear the air.
"She said; 'Look, this biography really doesn't paint a picture of the mutual respect you had.' And she said he'd appreciated my letter and kept it by his bed," Gates said about his conversation with Powell.

CES is happening in Las Vegas at the same time as the Detroit Auto Show, so let's pause a moment to consider the computer specialists and system administrators in our lives. What is the most appropriate car for your office's information-technology staffers?
Being an informed gearhead and being a skilled computer maven are not mutually exclusive pursuits, but the time and involvement required for either sometimes crowd out the other. Therefore, it's reasonable to expect computer people to skew a bit towards something that reflects their tech priorities instead of ours.
You'd think a Nissan GT-R would be the aspirational technoid car of choice, but back in the real world where your corporation has skipped raises for the third year in a row that's out of reach. Closer to home yet with all the tech kit you can reasonably get in a modern car, the Acura TSX with the Technology Package definitely taps the touchscreen the right way. Uninvolving driving traits and clinical personality? Perhaps. Voice control, multiple telecommunications channels, real-time weather and traffic? Now we're chatting.
What's the best wheels for the folks in the server room?

MILWAUKEE (AP) Sacramento center DeMarcus Cousins was suspended for one game without pay by the NBA on Wednesday for striking Dallas' O.J. Mayo in the groin area in the Kings' road loss Monday night.
Cousins sat out the Kings' game Wednesday night at Milwaukee.
``Obviously, you miss a tremendous piece to your team when you have been playing pretty decent of late,'' Kings coach Keith Smart said before the game against the Bucks. ``When you lose a guy like Cousins it's tough because you can't replace what he brings to your team. We are going to try, but it won't be easy.''
It's the second suspension of the season for Cousins, who missed two games in November after confronting San Antonio Spurs broadcaster Sean Elliott following a game.
Cousins leads the Kings in scoring (17.2 points per game), rebounds (9.9) and steals (1.4). He had 25 points in 35 minutes in the 119-96 loss at Dallas on Monday.
``They (the NBA) are making the message very clear,'' Smart said. ``There is nothing that you can do that won't be seen by the league. Sometimes during the course of a basketball game there are going to be things that may happen, and players will sometimes target certain players. DeMarcus has to be a bigger man and move away from anything that may distract him because it hurts our team. . One thing is very clear: The league will not tolerate any of this.''
