Defense faulty as Vargas unravels in costly frame
OAKLAND -- What started as a perfect afternoon for Jason Vargas ended in disaster.
Despite retiring the first dozen A's he faced, the Kansas City southpaw was tattooed in the eight-run fifth inning of Oakland's 8-3 victory on Saturday.View Full Game Coverage

Vargas' defense didn't help him much, either. Though the Royals were charged with just one error during Oakland's big outburst, there were a trio of notable misplays that helped the A's pour it on.
"Left some balls up, we didn't play defense and that's what happens. It unraveled," Vargas said. "Just as a whole, we weren't good in the fifth inning. That's what it comes down to."
Vargas (8-5, 3.69 ERA) was eager to get back to the mound after sitting out since July 8 due to an appendectomy. He looked like he had no issues to begin the contest, striking out four straight batters at one point as he set down the first 12 batters he faced.
The crafty veteran pounded the zone, used good location and relied on a fastball-changeup combo to keep Oakland's lineup off-balance. Or as Royals manager Ned Yost said: "It was vintage Vargas."
But then the A's bats came alive in the fifth inning and Vargas couldn't make it out of the frame. He allowed seven hits and was charged with seven earned runs, while getting just one out.
A's catcher Derek Norris started the rally by hitting a leadoff double before Billy Butler committed Kansas City's first defensive miscue of the afternoon. Jonny Gomes skied one high in the infield, and Butler looked like he had a beat on it, but the ball dropped at the first baseman's feet.
The sun has been responsible for several dropped balls by defenders this year at O.Co Coliseum, like earlier in the day when A's third baseman Josh Donaldson misplayed a potential flyout, but Yost said Butler simply had a lapse.
"The sun didn't come into play there," Yost said. "He screwed it up."
The A's used four straight singles to chase Vargas from the game. The fourth single, off the bat of Jed Lowrie, deflected off of Mike Moustakas' glove at the hot corner and drove in another run to make it 4-1, A's. But Kansas City's defensive woes weren't over.
Once Vargas exited, Aaron Crow walked Donaldson with the bases loaded to bring home another run before the wheels completely fell off. Gomes hit a single to left field with the bases loaded and Alex Gordon misplayed it, allowing the bases to clear and Oakland to extend its lead to 8-1.
"I took my eye off the ball," Gordon said. "I was trying to throw the guy out at home before I got the ball. Stupid mistake on my part -- not seeing the ball into the glove -- and that's what happens."
The Royals, winners of eight of their past 11, have been playing sharp as of late. Friday night's 1-0 shutout of the A's serves as a fine example, but Saturday it simply wasn't there.
"The fifth inning, you probably won't see something like that happen again," Vargas said. "If you do, it probably won't be for a while. It's one of those that got away from us. We were careless and it came back to bite us."
For a while, Vargas was locked up in a pitchers' duel with fellow lefty Jon Lester, who made his A's debut after being acquired in a blockbuster Trade Deadline deal on Thursday.
Kansas City cracked Lester in the seventh, scoring two runs to chase him from the mound, but the damage was already done. Lester (11-7, 2.59 ERA) finished 6 2/3 innings, allowing three earned runs on nine hits and a walk while striking out three to earn his first victory in Oakland.
Lester received a standing ovation as he left the mound and tipped his cap to his new hometown crowd before reaching the dugout.
"It was a little different at first, but baseball's baseball," Lester said, "and I gotta focus on that and try to help these guys win and do that the best I can. There will be a time, later down the road, where I can sit and reminisce about all the times then, but I can't allow myself to do that."
The Royals scored the game's initial run in the third inning, when Salvador Perez hit a sac fly to plate Alcides Escobar. They nearly scored another run on a sac fly in the fourth to double their lead, but a stellar throw from center fielder Sam Fuld nabbed Gordon at the plate for an inning-ending double play.
"That was a close play," Gordon said. "I thought I had made a good slide, but he obviously tagged me before I got to the plate. Sam Fuld made a great throw. To throw it from there on a line, for a strike, it's a good play. ... It would have been nice to be up 2-0."
Instead of having a two-run lead, the Royals found themselves in a seven-run hole just an inning later.
"They took advantage of every mistake we made," Yost said.

Many people with small children prefer a round coffee table as they consider the lack of sharp corners a safer option and less likely to cause accidents. Round tables can be difficult to fit into smaller rooms and can take up more floor space than other shapes. They can be very social however and are a good choice if you regularly sit around playing cards or board games. Consideration should also be given to whether you prefer a coffee table with legs or one that is solid to floor level. Raised coffee tables that allow a clear view under the table can help to create an impression of space; however solid coffee tables can often look more expensive and substantial.
Rectangular coffee tables are the most popular shape on the market currently and come in a variety of heights and forms. They can be used in small or large rooms and can often make a large impact in a big room where a very large coffee table is required so as to be accessible from all of the furniture. Similarly square coffee tables are excellent in larger rooms although they can overpower smaller spaces when not chosen with care. If you are buying a square coffee table be sure to mark out the floor area that will be covered to make sure that it will not overwhelm the room.

"Whoo-hoo!" Graham Coxon Signature Telecaster in stock now
The Blur star and Britpop luminary finally gets the stamp of approval as one of the most influential guitarists of his generation, with a European-exlusive signature version of his musical weapon of choice - the Fender Telecaster. Buy now for £546.
Even at Blur's poppiest Coxon had a distinctive sound, such as the off-kilter solo in UK number one single "Country House". And he bought fuzzed-up riffage to daytime radio, adverts and computer games everywhere with "Song 2". So it's only right that he represents British guitarists in the Fender hall of fame alongside his 90's alt-rock contemporaries from across the pond like Sonic Youth's Thurston Moore and Smashing Pumpkins' Billy Corgan.
Coxon's been using Tele's live and in the studio for years, so he knew exactly what this guitar needed to make it geat. In a 2006 interview with Fender themselves, he explained why he loves Telecasters:
"It's a great guitar for abuse because it's so tough. You can do anything with a Telecaster. You're never really afraid. You'll be afraid more for your hands than for the instrument. You can go for this kind of 'British' sound, or it can be this beautiful, clean country sound. You can really do anything on a Tele".
Full specs for the blonde-finish guitar are on our product page. It comes with a deluxe gigbag, and is in stock now at £546.

BOSTON — A young woman died last week in Plymouth District Court from an overdose and a juror there was saved this week, according to Sen. Therese Murray, who next week will welcome her colleagues to her district to help address the state's opiate addiction crisis.
Over the past 24 hours, Murray and District Court Judge Rosemary Minehan, who oversees drug court sessions in Plymouth, have raised the alert level on the issues, with Minehan telling attendees at a StatehHouse briefing about what it's like to preside during sessions where litigants sometimes require medical attention and Murray again asserting that the crisis had hit hard south of Boston and on Cape Cod.
"The Cape is experiencing an inordinate amount of overdoses," Murray said during an interview on WATD-FM Thursday. "It goes right across the age range. But particularly for our young people it's just an epidemic. They get hooked. We had two last week. We had one that survived and one that didn't survive right here in Plymouth last week."
District court judges can involuntarily commit dangerous drug and alcohol addicts for treatment, and the court with the most such commitments is Quincy, followed by Brockton, and then Plymouth, according to Minehan.
According to the Office of National Drug Control Policy, 916 people died as a direct result of drug use in 2009, more than motor vehicle accidents and firearms combined. The 13.9 per 100,000 rate of drug-induced deaths in Massachusetts is also well above the national per capita rate of 12.8.
Murray said a juror was saved in the courtroom in recent days because a woman whose child has a drug addiction was carrying Narcan in her pocketbook.
"He's completely out of it, no heartbeat. A woman in the back of the jury room says, 'I belong to Learn to Cope. I have a Narcan.' She opens her pocketbook and out pops her mascara, and she has a Narcan," Minehan told lawmakers and staff at a briefing Wednesday. "Dude, he wakes up looks at the court officer and says, 'Am I going to get into trouble for not being a juror today?' That's our life in the courthouse."
Naloxone, or Narcan, is described by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration as an "opioid antagonist" approved to treat opioid dependence and alcohol dependence.
Another recent court attendee did not survive. "We lost a young woman last week in Plymouth District Court who was in the court and overdosed and died," said Murray.
After the Wednesday briefing on civil commitments, Minehan showed a video of a semi-coherent woman in Plymouth Court, taken about 24 hours before her death. She said she had received the video from the woman's aunt.
"I never thought I'd say things to the court officers, 'Tran, can you make sure the sheriff knows that's a benzo withdrawal and he can't quit cold turkey. I say that. I thought I was going to say 'allowed, denied, overruled, sustained' when I was a judge. I'm saying that," Minehan said.
Individuals with substance abuse problems or their family members can ask a judge to commit them for treatment, which is handled either at treatment facilities in Brockton and New Bedford or if there are no available beds there, at correctional facilities in Framingham and Bridgewater.
In fiscal 2013, 39 percent of the so-called Section 35 civil commitments were handled by the Department of Corrections, which can be a harrowing place for some, but also better equipped facility to handle more violent addicts, Minehan said.
People who are in court for a civil commitment can often be suffering from withdrawal or extremely intoxicated, said Minehan, who said she has to look out for people's symptoms.
"We're not a medical facility," said Minehan, who said waiting for the designated forensic psychologist that is required for a civil commitment can delay treatment. She said, "If they're detoxing actively, they're getting sicker. Sometimes that (designated forensic psychologist) is in Fall River, and we have to wait four or five hours for that DFP to come. That's happening. I've got court officers coming upstairs saying, 'Judge, Smith is going down. I think he's going to have a seizure.'"
The Special Commission on Drug Abuse and Treatment Options is scheduled to hold a hearing at Plymouth Public Library Tuesday at 1 p.m. Murray said the public is invited to attend but testimony will be allowed only from invited individuals who she said were "experts."
Murray said the commission would also hold a similar meeting on Cape Cod.
While Minehan was discussing civil commitment of addicts, the state is also aiming to increase treatment options for people who are drug users and accused of crimes.
Drug courts have helped steer people into treatment, Murray said, but Plymouth and other communities south of Boston are struggling with high levels of alcohol and drug addiction, and civil commitments.
The Trial Court is hoping to expand the number of specialty drug court sessions, which gives criminal offenders a chance to avoid jail time.
"One concept is regionalizing specialty courts because we are not going to be able to put a specialty court in every single courthouse," Director of Specialty Courts Mary Hogan Sullivan told the News Service. She said, "We would be targeting areas where there's a high need."

This wedding is so perfectly New York City. It's everything I love about that those bustling boroughs all wrapped up in one stylish post. It's a gorgeous Wtoo gown from Lovely Bridal Shop meets the gritty downtown streets. It's the celebration of two stylish Brides and their obvious love for each other with the Big Apple proudly serving as the background. The scene is perfectly set for all this Manhattan magic to unfold at The Bowery Hotel and Housing Works Bookstore Café, and thanks to Olya Vysotskaya Photography we can see it all right here.
From the Bride... Manhattan is not only my hometown, it's also the place we met and fell in love. (New York was also one of a handful of states where we could get married legally!) We knew as soon as we set foot in Housing Works Bookstore Cafe in SoHo that we wanted to be married there. It's located in a gorgeous New York townhouse on a classic cobblestone street. The bookstore space was everything we wanted: intimate, romantic, and, best of all, filled with books. Robyn proposed at the Brooklyn Public Library, so it seemed fitting that we hold our wedding in a bookstore! We continued the book motif with our escort cards, which were printed on vintage library cards and displayed in real card catalog drawers. Many of our guests actually took them home. Once we chose the venue, all of the other details seemed to choose us, especially my blush tulle dress and our lovely photographer, who shoots real film and has a collection of vintage cameras. We kept the décor simple because we didn't want to compete with the colorful book displays that first drew us to the space. We used silver grosgrain ribbon to make inexpensive table runners and deep purple napkins to add a pop of color. String lights and votive candles brought out the warmth of the rich wood paneling. We chose the Bowery Hotel, on Manhattan's still-gritty Lower East Side, for our first look and wedding night. As we walked from the hotel to Housing Works, we received many well wishes from tourists and panhandlers along the street. Only in New York!

In its first month, the new Euless, Texas Dairy Queen restaurant broke nearly every sales record in franchise and corporate history including the record for most sales on opening day, the record for most sales on any day, and the records for most sales in one week and one month. The Texas Dairy Queen Operators' Council (TDQOC), a cooperative group of Texas Dairy Queen franchisees, is responsible for Texas DQ marketing/advertising and the Texas Country Foods system for nearly 600 DQ restaurants in the state of Texas. Michael Clarke is the franchise owner and operator of the Euless restaurant and owns Lickety Split Food Services, LLC. Clarke successfully launched the first interior digital menu Texas Dairy Queen restaurant utilizing six screens with the April 30 opening in Euless.
"Euless was the first Texas Dairy Queen restaurant with digital menu boards and we couldn't be more thrilled by the results," says Larry Newell, president of TDQOC. "WAND's experience made them an easy choice, but their level of professionalism from creative conceptualization to deployment and installation gave us a reason to consider more digital restaurants."
"Getting to work with Michael Clarke and the Texas Dairy Queen team was a phenomenal experience—not only because the brand itself is so dynamic and fun, but also because DQ Texas is extremely devoted to digital's role in their success," says Rick Engels, vice president of business development and the WAND internal creative department. "Michael, Larry, TDQOC's Pat Johnson, and the entire team were really focused on the wow factor and trusted WAND to show them what vibrant digital content could produce."
The WAND Digital creative department along with DQ Texas' advertising agency of record, Loomis, and the franchisee Michael Clarke, went through several rounds of creative edits to generate the digital configuration. The final product features two feature boards (one for food and the other for desert), and four more dynamic/animated screens featuring Hungr'Busters, Country Baskets, T-Brand Tacos, Blizzard Flavor Treats, and other food items and frozen treats the Texas Dairy Queen brand is known for. After Euless' record-breaking first month, TDQOC is now working with other Operators with plans to transition more of its stores from static menus to WAND Digital in the foreseeable future.

Information & Facts
Species NameYellow perch(Perca flavescens)
Common NamesPerch, lake perch, river perch, striped perch, ringed perch, American perch, and common perch.
Size RangeAverage 7-10 inches. Yellow perch can grow to 10-14 inches in quality waters.
State Record2.75 lbs; Larry Benthien; Snelson's Slough, Skagit County; June 22, 1969
DescriptionYellow perch is one of several "panfish" species in Washington which is very popular across the state because they are easy to catch, they are a great "family fishing activity" and they are outstanding eating quality. Yellow perch are easily identified by the golden-yellow coloration on their sides from which they get their most familiar common name as well as their scientific name, flavescens (yellow). The intensity of color may vary with age and with water clarity. Young perch and those found in clear lakes tend to have less yellow coloration. The common names "striped" and "ringed" perch come from another distinguishing feature, the six to eight broad, dark vertical bands running along their sides. The bands extend over their backs and end near their white belly. The other member of the perch family in Washington is walleye, also an extremely popular game fish.
Where to fish for Yellow perchYellow perch are found statewide in almost any water from very small ponds to the largest reservoir. Small lakes and ponds can provide exceptional yellow perch angling; however, yearly changes within the fish community often produce inconsistent fisheries from year to year. Larger waters often provide the most consistent fisheries for size and numbers of fish. Today, a few of the popular and productive small lake fisheries include: Downs Lake (Lincoln County), Bonnie Lake (Lincoln County), Hutchinson Lake (Adams County), Evergreen Reservoir (Grant County), Fish Lake (Chelan County), Roses Lake (Chelan County), Leader Lake (Okanogan County), Lake Cassidy (Snohomish County),Lake Fenwick (King County), and Lake Sawyer (King County). Popular large water yellow perch fisheries include: Long Lake (Spokane County), Banks Lake (Grant County), Moses Lake (Grant County), Potholes Reservoir (Grant County), Palmer Lake (Okanogan County), Lake Samish (Whatcom County), Lake Sammamish (King County), Lake Stevens (Snohomish County), Lake Goodwin (Snohomish County), Lake Whatcom (Whatcom County), and Lake Washington (King County).
Yellow Perch Lakes Managed with Special RegulationsMost yellow perch waters are managed under the statewide general regulation of no minimum size and no daily bag limit. Several lakes across Washington with yellow perch populations are managed by the special regulations listed below. Regulations may change from year to year, so make sure you consult the latest regulations pamphlet for accurate information on the water you intend to fish.
How to fish for Yellow perchBecause of their extremely high reproductive potential and early sexual maturity, the most productive perch fisheries are usually found in larger lakes or reservoirs, and many smaller lakes and ponds eventually become overpopulated. Some anglers claim yellow perch are so willing to be caught that they will bite a bare hook. You are more likely to be successful if you add a worm to the hook. Other common options for catching perch include small jigs and lures tipped with maggots, wax worms, shrimp, or small pieces of perch meat. Perch are notorious bait thieves, and once you've found a school, be sure to allow time for them to nibble so you don't pull up a bare hook.
Although most anglers agree yellow perch are a reliable catch, there is a trick to consistently catching large fish. Yellow perch move in schools searching for food, and though they can be found at various depths, they tend to feed near the bottom. The successful angler should also move around in search of them, starting near the bottom and working towards the surface before moving to a new location. Schools of perch are commonly found at or near drop-offs between the littoral zone and deeper water. Once you find a school of perch, anchor, and continue to fish that location.
Tackle may be as simple as a small graphite rod with an open faced spinning reel, the more sensitive the better. Use small, fine hooks or jigs with bait and a small bobber with just enough buoyancy to signal even the lightest bites. Yellow perch are active throughout the year, making them a favorite target of anglers. During winter, perch often move to deeper waters, feeding exclusively off the bottom. On some lakes, anglers fish in 20 to 50 feet of water to catch yellow perch in the winter. Ice anglers fish for perch with short jig poles, some with specialized spools only large enough to accommodate 50 to 60 feet of line.

The Ravens' collective health has improved significantly since the bye week.
Every player on the roster with the exception of offensive tackle Michael Oher practiced today, which wasn't the case last week during a few practices prior to getting the remainder of the week and Sunday off.
Oher was present and dressed out during the portion of practice open to reporters, but wasn't listed as practicing due to an ankle injury. He sprained his ankle in the season-opener, but hasn't missed any games.
Running back Bernard Pierce returned to practice from a strained hamstring. He participated fully.
"I'm feeling great, I'm ready to go," Pierce said....

The quiet master behind the masterpiece
By Dr. David MacKenzie
The Sentinel
Franz Joseph Haydn's great oratorio The Creation is acknowledged as one of the greatest musical achievements of Western Civilization. It is certainly the crowning glory of a composer whose creative output was immense – more than 1,000 works – and who is credited as the creator of the Classical-era symphony and string quartet.
The Creation will be performed at 8 p.m., Friday, April 4 at the Fireman Center for the Performing Arts at Tabor Academy in Marion, and will feature as soloists soprano Rebecca Grimes, tenor Thomas Oesterling, and Baritone, John Murelle. There will be a pre-concert prelude for ticket holders, which will take place one hour prior to each concert.

Haydn's life spanned a period of enormous changes in the world, in the arts, and especially in music, and most musical trends during the 18th Century were pioneered and perfected by him. Born in 1732, he was 18 years old when J. S. Bach died. He outlived Mozart and was still a revered musical figure in Vienna when Beethoven's "Eroica" Symphony, a work considered by many as ushering in the Romantic era, was performed in 1805. Both Mozart and Haydn owed great debts to Haydn. Indeed, Haydn was the only contemporary composer for whom Mozart held any regard, acknowledging that it was from Haydn he had learned how to write string quartets, and commenting at one point "Haydn alone has the secret both of making me smile and of touching my innermost soul."
For all of that, most concert-goers today can more readily name and recognize works by Haydn's older contemporaries Johann Sebastian Bach and George Frederick Handel, or his much younger colleague and friend W. A. Mozart or his student Ludwig van Beethoven. Why is this?

You'll be safer in 2009. At least that's the expectation of consumer watchdogs who believe the changing of the guard at the White House in a few weeks will mark the beginning of a new era in protecting people from stuff that can hurt you.
"It may not be a golden age," said Ed Mierzwinski, consumer program director for the U.S. Public Interest Research Group in Washington. "But it's definitely going to be an opportunity for consumer advocates to be heard for the first time in years and for there to be meaningful change."
He and other advocates expect extensive housecleaning primarily in two crucial agencies, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the Food and Drug Administration.
For years, the Consumer Product Safety Commission has seemed like it's had an "out to lunch" sign on the door.
The agency is responsible for overseeing the safety of 15,000 product categories, including toys, cribs, power tools and kitchen appliances. It now has about 400 staffers, fewer than half the amount it had when the agency was established in 1973.
Moreover, the three-person commission has been without a chairman since July 2006.
That's when Hal Stratton, an appointee of President Bush, departed to take a job with a law firm that specializes in shooting down class-action lawsuits filed by consumers. In March 2007, Bush nominated Michael Baroody, a manufacturing industry lobbyist, to head the commission.
Baroody withdrew from consideration after lawmakers demanded copies of his severance agreement with the National Assn. of Manufacturers. Bush never nominated anyone else.
In August, after the recalls of millions of toys and other products, the Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act was signed into law. It will significantly streamline and enhance the commission's operations, including new resources for disclosure of defective goods.
"A blueprint for success has been set in place for the commission," said Rachel Weintraub, director of product safety for the Consumer Federation of America. "Now all we need is the leadership to act on it, and to restore the commission's funding and resources."
The whispering in Washington suggests that a front- runner for commission chair is Pam Gilbert, who served as executive director of the agency under President Clinton and has years of experience as a consumer advocate.
The FDA also appears to have a lot of renovation in its future after repeated instances of tainted foods and drugs turning up in the U.S. market. Most recently, the agency has drawn fire from public health advocates for seeking to reverse a long-standing policy on mercury-tainted seafood.
Since 2004, the FDA has cautioned women of childbearing age, nursing mothers and young children to limit seafood consumption. Now the agency says women and kids should help themselves to fish, even though the Environmental Protection Agency says it has "serious concerns" about that advice.
The FDA also has taken hits on melamine, a chemical used in plastics and fertilizer. Melamine has been linked to the deaths of at least six babies in China and the sickening of nearly 300,000 other children. Melamine apparently was added to Chinese dairy products to make them seem more protein-rich.
After traces of the chemical were found in infant formula produced in the United States, the FDA ruled last month that a little melamine was OK, reversing an earlier position that any melamine in formula may be unsafe.
This month, the FDA issued a report hailing its "significant progress" in keeping consumers safe.
Patty Lovera, assistant director of the advocacy group Food & Water Watch, said the report showed how out of touch the FDA had become.
"This hasn't been a good year for the FDA by any stretch," she said. "They're completely outgunned, especially on imports, and don't show any expectation of getting better."
She said the first step for the administration of President-elect Barack Obama would be to appoint an agency head who understood the need for reorganization, and who would be active in boosting the FDA's budget.
The Bush administration had sought only a 5.7% increase in funding to $2.4 billion for 2009. The total rose to $2.7 billion only after Democratic lawmakers questioned the agency's ability to safeguard the food supply.
Possible candidates for FDA commissioner include Joshua Sharfstein, head of the Baltimore Health Department, and Steven Nissen, chief of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic.
The biggest challenge for both the Consumer Product Safety Commission and the FDA will be working with foreign governments -- especially China -- in gaining access to overseas facilities that may not meet U.S. safety standards.
Beyond that, new safeguards will have to be put in place so that goods are tested and inspected
reaching store shelves, rather than our current system of doing damage control after a problem is detected.
This won't be cheap, especially at a time when we'll be spending some serious coin fixing the economy and winding down the war in Iraq. But for a president who based his election campaign on looking out for common folk, few issues are as important as consumer protection.
"Nothing will happen overnight," said Public Interest Research Group's Mierzwinski. "We still have to climb out of a deep hole, and industry groups will continue pushing their agendas. But people should be optimistic."
That notion alone is reason for a happy new year.

Fugitive caught by police
Police have caught a man they say robbed three people in the parking lot of Luke's Icehouse on Calder.
The May 2012 robbery ended when the suspect, who police later identified as Kenneth Ray Taylor, became engaged in a struggle for the handgun he used during the robbery and was shot.
Taylor has shot in the leg, according to police.
Deputy Sheriff Rod Carroll said Taylor was caught with the help of a tipster using BPD's crimestopper's hotline and is eligible to receive a $1,000 reward.
Taylor was caught Wednesday night, Feb. 6 in the 3100 block of Eastex Freeway, a press release said.

Can Online Games Influence What Kids Eat?
By Alice Park
Children are an advertisers dream, and if you have any doubt about that, just take a stroll through a toy store or your local grocers with one of these trusting, impressionable tykes in tow. Youll know what I mean.
As if the ads on TV for the latest toy, fast food, sugary snacks and fat-laden meals werent bad enough, now researchers say you have to worry about another insidious way that manufacturers are appealing to the youngest among us advergames.
Thats the term for the enticing and engaging online games that food makers are increasingly supplying on their web sites as a way to introduce children to their products. The companies logos and goods are unavoidable on these games, which also include inducements to buy the products in order to launch new features on the game.

Australia still has a strong budget position, despite the fact that it's unlikely there will be a budget surplus next year, Treasurer Wayne Swan says.
Mr Swan said the global financial crisis, natural disasters, the shift of economic hegemony from west to east, the ageing population and the digital revolution had all significantly reshaped the world.
But Australia faced these challenges from "a position of unparalleled strength", he said.
"We end 2012 as the most resilient advanced economy in the world - the economic Iron Man," Mr Swan wrote in his Treasurer's economic note.
"We have solid growth, low unemployment, contained inflation, lower interest rates and record levels of investment."
Despite the position of strength, Mr Swan strongly hinted there wouldn't be a budget surplus at the end of the next fiscal year, contrary to repeated promises by the government.
"Dramatically lower tax receipts means there's unlikely to be a surplus in 2012-13," he said.
"(But) we still have one of the strongest budget positions in the developed world."
Mr Swan warned that "absurd" claims about faltering economic growth, an end of investment and an astronomical rise in goods prices could erode confidence.
The negativity was bad for business, jobs and the economy, he said, adding Australia must focus on grasping "the opportunities of the Asian century."
Discussing climate change, education, the digital economy and how to distribute "the benefits of prosperity" were also important for the country, he said.
"A more positive, confident and honest national conversation will ensure we keep getting the big economic calls and the big policy decisions right."

ByBrian R. Fitzgerald
The South by Southwest Interactive conference in Austin this year was chock full of everything you've come to expect: people pitching their next big ideas, brainy sessions with thinkers and influencers, vendors pushing their would-be cutting-edge gadgets, roving bands of musical bands, and more.
Still recovering from the days-long affair, the Journal's team of editors jotted down the moments that stood out to them. Here are a few:
The Matrix Gets That Much Closer
There is the cloud, and there are robotics – two fast-growing fields in technology. At SXSW, there were cloud robotics.
Cloud robotics showed what's possible by connecting robots' "brains" through wireless networking and storage. Automated systems would no longer be limited by their own individual memories and programs.
Instead, "robot sourcing" would allow robots around the world to team up to solve problems, similar to human crowdsourcing. This would allow robots to be smarter, more powerful and cheaper, since individual robots would no longer need to be custom-programmed to perform certain tasks.
In other words, no robot is an island.
The implications are vast: Robots could draw on the experiences of other robots to better perform tasks such as customer service or even surgery. Self-driving cars could be connected to a global library of maps and real-time traffic data. There could even be a robot app store for machines to instantly get new capabilities.
Robots could also become better human companions, since they would be constantly learning from the examples of others, says Ken Goldberg, a professor at University of California Berkeley, who studies cloud robotics and participated in a panel on the topic.
It sounds like the Matrix, but the development of self-driving cars and the "Internet of Things," in which ordinary objects such as your refrigerator are connected to the Web, show how these scenarios are already under way.
– Rachel Emma Silverman
Now, Where Did We Put Those Encryption Instructions?
One interesting — and ridiculous — idea came from Edward Snowden: that ordinary consumers should be using services with end-to-end encryption.
Of course, we all should be more careful about security. But today the services built with these features in mind — like Tor– are built for other hackers, not for mom in Minnesota. Snowden issued a call to arms for programmers to develop more consumer-ready services, but the truth is that encryption is at odds with the advertising business models that dominate Silicon Valley today.
There is little evidence consumers will pay extra to get rid of ads, much less for extra security and privacy. One key test will be the consumer reaction to a series of "privacy phones," like the Blackphone, coming out in the next few weeks.
– Geoffrey Fowler
White Boarding 2.0
As a first-time SXSW attendee, I found the non-stop circus of panels, speeches, meet-ups and parties to be a bit much. It's like the organizers do all that they can to promote FOMO—fear of missing out—by scheduling everything at the same time and scattering the events throughout an overcrowded city.
Considering the chaos, I found the work of ImageThink to be that much more impressive. The New York-based company is the official "graphic recorder" of SXSW. At each of the biggest sessions, an ImageThink artist stood off to the side of the stage with a giant blank canvas and, in real time, recorded the conversation in a combination of words and pictures.
The artist would pick out the biggest themes and the catchiest quotes, so that by the end of each event, there was a giant illustration summing up what the audience just heard. After Edward Snowden's webcast appearance Tuesday, the ImageThink board had drawings of a padlock, a security camera and a knight in armor surrounded by text, combining to convey the respective themes of security, surveillance and protection.
Unlike a tweet, which captures one snippet of an idea, an ImageThink board gathers all of the ideas and then creates a connection between them, said Nora Herting, principal and founder of ImageThink. And, more so than a blog post with text, the illustrations help visual learners remember themes.
"Being able to have a visual cue to go along with the idea creates a stickiness in people's minds," said Herting, which helps to combat the "information overload" at SXSW.

Fired Up About Bitcoin
Anyone who thinks the failure of the bitcoin exchange Mt. Gox spells doom for the crypto-currency should meet the pack of self-described anarchists that gathered in the basement of Brave New Books in Austin on Sunday.
A few dozen people, many seemingly in their late 20s and early 30s and some with young children in tow, came together for a full day of panel speeches and discussions celebrating bitcoin and what its use means for their political beliefs. Some wore T-shirts showing cannon barrels. They talked about politics and the shuttered online marketplace Silk Road. The mother of the site's alleged architect, Ross Ulbricht, was in attendance.
The basement bookstore, just a few blocks from the Texas State Capitol, doubles as headquarters for the state's Libertarian Party. On its shelves sit titles like "Myth, Lies and Oil Wars" and "Secrets of the Federal Reserve." On the wall hangs political art, one drawing depicting top U.S. economic officials as "fascists." A rotating display features bumper stickers. "Another American for gold, guns and The Constitution," one reads.
The headline speaker: Cody Wilson, subject of a page-one Wall Street Journal article who is known for unsettling lawmakers by making a plastic gun with a 3-D printer and founding a startup aimed at covering the tracks of financial transactions made with bitcoin. He described how bitcoin takes human interaction "deep into the black market."
"That is its great hope if we are anarchists," he said. "The possibility of bitcoin is that it is uninvestigateable, that there will be 1,000 Silk Roads — and let them bloom." On Silk Road, people could buy everything from narcotics to forged passports and pay with bitcoins, affording buyers and sellers a greater degree of anonymity. The marketplace, which operated since 2011, was shut down last year.
Wilson described bitcoin as "anti-fragile," capturing the determination of those in the room. "I don't think we break" when bitcoin is attacked by hackers, he said. "I think we strengthen."

Quite the Strange Lifehack
When Mark Cuban takes photographs with fans, he almost exclusively insists on selfies.
Yeah – that happened. Selfie with @mcuban at sxsw yesterday. pic.twitter.com/WN8PJSXs1F
— Jeff Root (@JeffreyRoot) March 9, 2014
Why? According to Cuban, who took scores of selfies at SXSW, reviewing the camera shot guarantees he sees the entire context of the photo. It dissuades people from photo-bombing his shots with weird or offensive poses.
"I've been doing selfies, because it offers protection," Cuban says.

A Prototype That Hit Close to Home
This might seem odd, but a prototype pen and ruler built for the iPad stood out most to me.
There are a ton of lame styluses cluttering Best Buy and Apple store shelves, and I've never pined a single one. But the duo built by Photoshop-maker Adobe, code-named Mighty (the pen) and Napoleon (the ruler), hit close to home. They mimic the drafting templates and rulers I used as a child sitting at my dad's then-gigantic drawing desk.
As a kid, I drew comics for myself and school friends. Getting a perfect square for a panel or circle for a speech bubble was key. I relied on and loved these tools. I still love to draw and I still stick to paper.
Drawing a perfect circle, rectangle, triangle or even a straight line on an iPad is pain-inducing. Mighty and Napoleon, which I got a preview of at SXSW, do it with ease. An app Adobe created to work with its hardware adds in grids and perspective lines too.
Adobe says Mighty and Napoleon, under a new name, will ship this year, though they won't say how much. I can't wait.

The Discounts Would Like to See You in Aisle 2
Shelves that can beam coupons and offers to your phone are coming soon to a store near you.
A company called Shelfbucks showed off beacon technology at a local drug store. Hold your phone near one of the wireless stations on a store shelf, and a series of product discounts pop up inside an app on your phone. (To work, your phone must have Bluetooth or another wireless tech called Near Field Communication turned on.) You can select the coupons you want and then, at checkout, you wave your phone again to redeem them.
The potential uses of this technology are many, from coupons to subway alerts. The hard part is likely going to be figuring out how to get permission from consumers to beam the messages, and also deliver them in ways that aren't annoying. Some companies experimenting with the beacons automatically send out alerts just for entering a particular part of the store.
Shelfbucks operating chief Mike Scheschuk says he thinks that experience will get old very soon. His company intentionally built a double opt-in to their service: You have to download an app and also walk close to the wireless box to receive the deal. "This is not spam," says Scheschuk.

All the Cool Kids Have 'Author' on Their Resumes
There was no hiding that digital gurus adore traditional print books—not just to read but to sell.
From guides on topics like how to speak tech to commentaries on cybersecurity and social media, the festival bookstore featured roughly 250 tomes by entrepreneurs and investors, ranging from about $12 to $50.
The phenomenon illustrated how startup gurus are increasingly adding "author" to their resumes in order to bolster their personal brands. Their vanity books come with geeky titles like "Embeddables: The Next Evolution of Wearable Tech" and "The Smarter Startup: A Better Approach to Online Business for Entrepreneurs."

Statistician and ESPN editor Nate Silver jotted his name on copies of "The Signal and the Noise: Why So Many Predictions Fail — But Some Don't." And wine entrepreneur Gary Vaynerchuk was promoting his New York Times bestseller "Jab, Jab, Jab, Right Hook: How to Tell Your Story in a Noisy Social World."
Alexis Ohanian, co-founder of the online social-community Reddit, and author of "Without Their Permission: How the 21st Century Will Be Made, Not Managed," invited fans to text "hi" to a number in order to get notified when he'd be ready to sign their book. "This way they could go talk to other attendees instead of waiting in line," he said via email.
Venture capitalist Ben Horowitz sold about 200 copies of "The Hard Thing About Hard Things: Building a Business When There Are No Easy Answers," for $18.35 each and drew the longest lines for a signing of a business book. The longest line of all was for autographed copies of actor George Takei's "Oh Myyyy! There Goes the Internet."
The festival's organizers also put out a cookbook for the first time this year with a $22 price tag, and recipes for making sweets like "venture inspiration cookies," as well as "Mama Crowley's Mac & Cheese," from Foursquare founder Dennis Crowley, and a cheeseburger from Cheezburger.com chief executive Ben Huh.

Absent at this year's conference were notable tech celebrities like Mark Zuckerberg. Instead, there were actual celebrities.
Attendees buzzed about the sightings of Seth Rogen and Jon Favreau. They lined up for hours to see a panel discussion featuring Seth Meyers. I took my place in a long line stretched around the block, assuming it was for Edward Snowden, until discovering I was waiting for Lena Dunham.
The arrival of South by Southwest Interactive as a star-studded event is evidence of the growing influence of technology in popular culture. Hip-hop artists like Nas, who appeared on a panel and gave an impromptu performance at a late-night party, now brag about their portfolio of start-up investments as if they're a new fashion trend. Television anchor Jimmy Kimmel, who is filming his show for a week in downtown Austin, has embraced online video and produced some of the most popular clips on YouTube.
Kevin Bacon even appeared on a panel to discuss the viral phenomenon "six degrees of Kevin Bacon."
But the appearance of so many bold-faced names made longtime conference goers wistful about the early days, when the Web was still considered counterculture and its earliest architects were nerdy outsiders. A common refrain heard at this year's conference: South by Southwest has "jumped the shark."

ENGLEWOOD, Colo.—Miami Heat forward Chris Andersen was the victim of a wide-ranging Internet hoax that resulted in a raid of his Denver-area home last year, his lawyer said Wednesday, and prosecutors confirmed Andersen was cleared of wrongdoing in the "extremely complex" case.
Lisa Pinto, spokeswoman for the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office, told The Associated Press that the office is reviewing a 4,000-page report before charging decisions are made, but added that "based on the information that we have been able to obtain and analyze, we are not pursuing charges against Chris Andersen."
Andersen's lawyer and agent, Mark Bryant, said his client was duped by a woman in Canada who sought a relationship and gifts and who threatened a female acquaintance of Andersen's in California while impersonating the tattoo-covered fan favorite known as "Birdman."
Bryant said neither Andersen nor his acquaintance realized they weren't communicating with each other online or via cellphone texts but rather were communicating with the woman in Canada, who impersonated one to the other.
The Canadian woman initially contacted Andersen through his now-shuttered Facebook profile, Bryant said.
"Chris was a victim," said Bryant, adding it was his understanding that the investigation uncovered at least a dozen people across several other states who were duped by the same woman who's been charged in Canada.
Although she was arrested in January, her connection to Andersen's situation didn't become clear until recently, Bryant said.
Sgt. Line Karpish, a spokeswoman with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police, said Douglas County, Colo., authorities requested assistance on the case in May 2012, and that investigation led to the January arrest of Shelly Lynn Chartier, 29, of Easterville Manitoba.
Chartier was charged with possession and transmission of child pornography, extortion and utter threats, Karpish said. Her next court appearance is Oct. 22.
Chartier also faces possible charges in Colorado.
"It would be premature for us here at the 18th Judicial District Attorney's Office to discuss this case before filing charges," Pinto said. "We are looking at 4,000 pages of information in relation to an investigation that is extremely complex. The Douglas County Sheriff's Office has conducted a highly sophisticated investigation where they have crossed state lines and international borders to obtain evidence and pursue the truth in this case. We will announce our findings in the near future after a careful review of the evidence."
In May 2012, Douglas County Sheriff's detectives searched Andersen's Larkspur home as part of an ongoing investigation by the department's Internet Crimes Against Children unit.
Although Andersen wasn't arrested or charged, the Denver Nuggets, in the midst of a playoff series against the Lakers, excused him from all team-related activities. That offseason, they released him under the NBA's amnesty clause.
Andersen, 35, signed with Miami last winter and helped the Heat win their second straight NBA title, after which he signed a one-year deal to return this season.
"I want to thank the Miami Heat organization for reaching out and believing in Chris probably more as an individual than as a basketball player," Bryant said. "That embrace assisted him in this difficult time and to that organization and to the fans around the world that stood behind him, his deepest thanks."
The Heat released a statement saying, "We are not surprised that this is the end result. We are happy for Chris and glad this unfortunate incident is behind him."
Bryant said Andersen will continue to cooperate with investigators and prosecutors "as they seek justice for all involved." He said he didn't believe any of the other alleged victims were celebrities or sports figures.
With his reputation tarnished, Andersen had to halt his numerous appearances for children's charities until his name was cleared.
"I can't tell you how much Chris agonized about the label placed on him and some of the public's perception that resulted from these acts," Bryant said. "Chris among all things is a member of our community and has a long, documented history of reaching out to children. He's done this through assisting with children's camps, local orphanages, literally (dressing up as) Santa Claus in our community."
Bryant said Andersen, who didn't release a statement, told him he appreciated those who reserved judgment and stood by him as he professed his innocence.
As for Andersen's acquaintance in California, "that individual here is also a victim," Bryant said.
Bryant said the young woman from California flew to Denver to see Andersen, "but again, that liaison was set up by the individual in Canada. (The young woman) came here and they spent time together and left. What transpired after that we believe was a threat from the individual in Canada, presuming to be Chris Andersen to that individual. And that threat subsequently led to the warrants that were executed on Mr. Andersen's house—although they had nothing to do with Chris."
The young woman was 17 at the time, which is the age of consent in Colorado.
"There was no crime committed in Colorado," Bryant said.

Burns and blisters are easily avoidable in the kitchen when you've got a few safety gloves and mitts within reach. Just like work gloves help protect your digits from cuts and scrapes outside the kitchen, safety gloves and mitts cover you when you're cooking or transporting food. Touching a hot handle or picking up a pan that's been in the oven without wearing a mitt or glove is a mistake you won't soon forget. Avoid the pain and embarrassment by always slipping something over your hands before moving cookware or popping something in the oven.
