PITTSBURGH (93-7 The FAN) — Pirates starting pitcher Erik Bedard was named the team's opening day starter Thursday by manager Clint Hurdle.
Had A.J. Burnett not broken his orbital bone early in Spring Training he would have started opening day. With Burnett expected to miss at least the first month of the season, Bedard will take over duties at the top of the rotation.
Hurdle said Jeff Karstens will sit second in the rotation to start the season, followed by James McDonald and Kevin Correia.
The Pirates open the season at PNC Park against the Philadelphia Phillies April 5. Their first road trip starts April 10 at the Los Angeles Dodgers.

Hollywood news reports that BRITNEY SPEARS has caused a bidding war between three major Las Vegas properties who want her as their show headliner.
We've told you before that the newly-single Britney Spears has been negotiating with a Caesar property in Las Vegas—where she could be headlining for regular concerts similar to Cher's, Celine Dion's and Elton John's for at least a whopping $1 million a year—just after quitting "X Factor."
But now, the pop star won't be inking the deal any sooner because two more properties have reportedly made it clear that they also want her on their shows.
TMZ got into details:
"We just found out … since we posted our story two other properties — at least one not associated with Caesars — have thrown their hat in the ring."
Fortunately, that means bigger money for Brit too!
Guess we'll just have to wait to see which one she signs with.

Dog expert Mark Derr's recent essay called "Cesar Millan and the Tradition of Pack Bully as Pack Leader" is an excellent review of what we know and don't know about the behavior of our best friends and their wild relatives, wolves, from whom they "emerged" during domestication. Derr's discussion of the notion of "social dominance" and the role and behavior of "alpha animals" is right on the mark (no pun intended). Animals, including dogs and wolves, do indeed form dominance relationships and there are alpha animals. However, dominance does not necessarily, or even frequently involve, animals coming to injurious blows and alpha animals can assert their dominance and control in rather subtle ways about which we still know very little.
Dominance and alpha animals are not myths
I've written that dominance is not a myth in an earlier and well documented essay titled "Social Dominance Is Not a Myth" as has my esteemed colleague Dario Maestripieri in his essay "Social Dominance Explained Part I: Why dominance exists and is good for you, sometimes". In his excellent essay Dr. Maestripieri writes, "In my view, there is nothing slippery about the concept of dominance, nothing simplistic or misleading about unitary explanations of this phenomenon, and no need to be cautious about it. All is needed is a clear explanation of what dominance is and how it works."

Anyone who has experienced secondary education in America has been at the mercy of the political/social views of their professors. I never minded people disagreeing with me or my views, what continues to irk me is those folks who don't want to discuss viewpoint but want only a total conversion to their point of view. A very liberal, but fair, professor of my once noted that people who zealously hold the belief that they know "THE TRUTH" are incapable of compromise or peace because they have "THE TRUTH" and if you don't agree then you are automatically ignorant, delusional, or intentionally evil. Facts, proofs, alternative opinions and beliefs don't matter because they own "THE TRUTH". This applies to left, right & everywhere in between.

New Kodak Z990 MAX superzoom with 30X optical zoom, 12mp backlit CMOS, RAW, PASM, 1080p
Just like clockwork, Kodak is updating their current superzoom flagship. The brand new Easyshare Z990 is listed at Amazon and it is following up on the Z981 which followed up on the Z980. The new Z990 sports a 12mp backlit CMOS sensor, and an optically stabilized 30X optical zoom lens that is "blessed" by SCHNEIDER-KREUZNACH. The lens starts at 28mm (eq) f2.8 and goes to the moon (840eq~) at f5.6. Also of interest to non-beginner photographers, it continues to offer RAW and PASM. Hooray!
Continuing with the Amazon specs, it has:
* records 1080p video
* 3-inch HVGA LCD
* ISO 100 to 6400 (12800 available at 3mp)
* +/- 2EV in 1/3 increments
* 16-1/2000 manual shutter
* the usual three metering modes (center spot, center weighted, multi-pattern)
* 120fps at 1-megapixel (max 40 images)
* scene modes
* "Film Effects" including HDR, Kodakchrome, Sepia, T-Max, Tri-X, Ektachrome
* SD/SDHC and 128MB internal memory
* usual Kodak NiMH/AA battery solution
The MAX you see is part of the name. Kodak is apparently giving the superzoom series a consumer-friendly descriptive name of its own, like they do with "Touch" and "Sport" for today's other models.
The new Z990 is available for pre-order at Amazon for $330.

One of the couple's two children, Mark Whitaker, is managing editor of CNN Worldwide and the former editor of Newsweek. In a memoir, Whitaker explores his unusual family tree, his rift with his father, and why it's never too late to heal even the oldest wounds.

ANNAPOLIS -- Maryland lawmakers won't return to Annapolis on Monday for a special session on gambling, according to a spokeswoman for Gov. Martin O'Malley.
The governor had set July 9 as the date he intended to bring the state legislature together to settle gambling issues that have divided the House and Senate this year. Lawmakers are considering an expansion of gambling that would authorize a sixth state casino, in Prince George's County, and allow table games such as blackjack and roulette at all casinos.
Members of the House of Delegates serving on O'Malley's gambling commission split from the state Senate and the governor's own staff on the issues of authorizing the Prince George's County casino and measures that would lower the state's tax on slot revenues.
The governor hasn't given up his efforts to reach a compromise between the House and Senate, but more time is needed to reach a consensus, spokeswoman Raquel Guillory said in an email.
Any measure to expand gambling in Maryland must be approved by voters during the November election.
Lawmakers have until mid-August to pass a referendum bill to give state officials enough time to place the measures on the ballot.

EAR WAX removal
The nature, function and make-up of earwax/cerumen shows that this sticky secretion is not only of considerable clinical importance, but also a source of fascination!
Earwax often blocks hearing aid moulds causing unnecessary difficulties to those whose hearing
(For appts at a private Ear Clinic please see the section Private Ear Nurse Clinics)
WHERE, HOW and WHY, WAX IS SECRETED?
The outer third of the ear canal contains " cerumen" and " sebaceous" glands. Earwax in secreted for protection of the delicate hearing mechanism within, and to keep the ear canal acidic, therefore deterring infection.
Earwax is a mixture of secretions from the ceruminous and sebaceous glands, together with flakes of skin, dust and other debris. The cerumen glands are thick sweat glands of a special type. The secretions can be activated by emotional stimulation (fear) and when touching the skin (over zealous cleaning of the canal)
These can include deafness, tinnitus, earache, fullness in the ear and vertigo. Some people have jaw or facial pain.
In children, it is usually a narrow canal, and in both age groups, the use of cotton buds for cleaning may cause impaction.
Cotton Buds are neither necessary nor appropriate as they push wax in further and may rupture the eardrum.
Cotton buds interrupt the normal self-cleansing process of the outer ear. Irritation of the skin by cotton buds may predispose to Otitis Externa, (canal infection ) which can lead to shrinking of the skin and wax glands. This in turn makes the ear feel dry and itchy, perpetuating the desire to 'clean the ear"!!
One must never consider it an ordinary, unimportant routine treatment. The removal of cerumen/wax can be difficult, and the procedure has to be explained.
As Ear Nurse Specialists we do not advocate syringing of the ear for wax removal. Serious damage to hearing can occur sometimes with ear syringing, and it is thought to cause tinnitus in some people.
Please note
The Ear Nurse Specialist Group supports the view of safe practice for aural procedures.
Otology is a specialty area of nursing requiring credentialled expertise. Be aware of unqualified personnel!
Wax is normal, and is only removed if causing a problem, ie impacted, and painful, or if the eardrum needs to be seen for a very good reason. No child should be forced to have wax removed. Ear syringing is not advised in children.
Sometimes tympanometry is carried out to test the mobility of the eardrum, and if this is normal, - let the wax stay. If the canal is blocked, use olive oil, almond oil, or 3% Peroxide, for a few days, and then check again. Some children who have a serious wax impaction problem may require a general anaesthetic for removal. The most important thing with children is to avoid an unpleasant confrontation, which will result in fear of all future treatment.

By the sounds of the radio communication following the chequered flag, we may have witnessed one of Lewis' final victories for the McLaren team today. He took control of the race from lights out, defending against Massa as they left Button behind to take up 3rd after turn 1.
Besides a brief bit of fun at the front for Sergio Perez, Hamilton lead from start to finish, leaving everyone else to squabble for points. Perez may have started well down, outside the top 10, but the Mexican had a massively long first stint on hard tyres before making a stop and coming out with fresh tyres and overtaking everyone up to 2nd place.
Fernando Alonso reminded us why he's referred to as the best driver in F1, making a super impressive drive from 10th to 3rd to take the final step on the podium and keep his championship lead in tact.
We'll bring you more on today's race shortly, but for now – what do we all think of Lewis' post-race chat with the team – it didn't exactly sound like he's looking forward to shortly announcing a long-term commitment to the McLaren team did it?

TEAMS: Los Angeles Dodgers
Los Angeles Dodgers right-hander Chad Billingsley pitched 4 2-3 innings in a minor league game Saturday and is confident he will be ready when the season begins. Billingsley bruised the index finger on his right hand during a bunting drill on March 15. He was scratched from a start earlier in the week. Manager Don Mattingly says Billingsley might start the second game on April 2 against San Francisco. Billingsley says he wants to work on his curveball, which means putting more pressure on the tip of his injured finger. He plans to throw curves in a bullpen session Monday. Billingsley struck out seven against Cleveland minor leaguers. He didn't throw any curves, but expects to be OK to start the season. ''As long as there are no setbacks, I plan to be there,'' he said.

Snowflakes under smart control
Christmas lights in Jermyn Street, Westminster
Christmas lights in London's Westminster are being controlled this year by an innovative wireless monitoring and control system.
Harvard Engineering supplied the LeafNut system to Westminster City Council to control the festive lights on Jermyn Street, which is traditionally noted for its shirtmakers and tailors.
Westminster is currently rolling out the LeafNut system across 14,000 street lights under its Smart Lights scheme, which enables lighting levels to be reduced at quiet times and restored to full brightness when needed. When complete the scheme is expected to save the Council £420,000 a year.
Engineers can control the Christmas lights via an iPad, tablet or smartphone, and receive comprehensive maintenance and energy usage reports for each lamp.

Bons Bois
Cognac is rarely born of a single eau-de-vie or a single growing area, but generally from a blend of different ages and crus, sometimes up to a hundred of them.
It can be made also exclusively from certain "cru", for example exclusively from "Grande Champagne", but of different ages.
Bons Bois : less chalky but more earthy soil of 16,000 hectares that is well reflected in the eau de vie.

Today the San Francisco Giants host the St. Louis Cardinals in a rematch of last season's thrilling NLCS and even before Barry Zito gently serves an 83 mph fastball to start the game, the fans are going to go nuts when a second World Series banner in three years is raised. The festivities continue tomorrow when Buster Posey will be honored for winning last season's MVP and on Sunday, a World Series ring ceremony will take place before the game.
The team just won two out of three on the road against the Dodgers to open the season, Posey just signed a long-term contract extension, and now they're coming home for a weekend-long party. It's a pretty good time to be a Giants fan right now.
It's been a few months so let me give you quick reminder about what happened the last time Zito pitched against the Cardinals. The Giants were in St. Louis, down 3-1 in the series with their soft-throwing, guitar-playing lefty on the hill. And then in the course of one evening, he had Giants fans thinking that 7-year, $126 million dollar contract he signed in 2007 was worth it. He gave up six hits and no runs over 7.2 innings, struck out six and allowed just one walk. Casilla and Romo finished up the game and the Giants headed back to San Francisco where the magic continued.
The cheers that Zito will receive when he takes the field will be deafening, no doubt about it. But it won't just be for number 75, it's for the whole organization and the entire roster. Over the last couple of years, the Giants have made smart move after smart move. It's funny how acquiring a left-handed specialist like Javier Lopez or trading for a crafty, no-nonsense hitter like Marco Scutaro can make you look like a genius when things go well. GM Brian Sabean and Manager Bruce Bochy have made all the right little moves and pressed all the right buttons over the last few years, but so much of that success depends on a bounce here and an inch there.
In order to be in a position where a bounce here or there can win you a playoff series, you have to have made a lot of smart bigger moves. Like drafting Buster Posey and Madison Bumgarner or making sure Matt Cain isn't going anywhere. In a baseball environment where the Dodgers payroll has ballooned over the last year and the A's put together a lineup of unheralded hitters, there is much discussion about the "best" way to put a team together. Some teams go after the big names and some rely on inexpensive youth. Most front offices and fans realize that a combination of the two is vital but many teams don't have this luxury, whether it's because they've traded away their top prospects or simply don't have the resources to keep rising stars.
The Giants are fortunate to be in a position where they can do both. They can spend money when it's needed to keep their studs, unlike the Marlins teams that obliterated their roster after winning championships. And the organization has developed some elite young talent, including a mostly home-grown pitching staff that has carried the team for years. This ability to have the best of both worlds is a massive advantage, but you need more to get to a position like the Giants are in now, where there is a big window still open for the Giants to keep winning well into the future.
That extra piece has a name. His name is Gerald Posey III but Giants fans just like to call him Buster. The guy hasn't even played two complete seasons in the majors (came up in the middle of the 2010 season and missed the majority of 2011) and he has a Rookie of the Year, Comeback Player of the Year, a batting title, a Silver Slugger, an MVP, and two titles. Oh yeah, and he hit a massive grand slam in the decisive game of last year 's NLDS.
There have been a few players in baseball history, mostly Yankees, that simply took over the majors and started winning when they showed up. Yogi Berra and Derek Jeter come to mind. Berra got two rings in his first four seasons and Jeter got two in his first three years. Clearly, the Giants have some work to do to match the accomplishments of those two Yankee dynasties, but fans have to be feeling pretty good with Posey locked up for the next nine years. Posey has the edge in terms of personal hardware; Jeter finished a paltry third in MVP voting his second full season and it took six seasons for Berra to win the award.
There is something special about having your catcher be your best player. He instills confidence in the pitching staff and the rest of the position players and the coaches have to respect that he can lead the league in hitting and bat cleanup while playing the most physically demanding and toughest position on the field.
For what it's worth, Buster Posey is NOT the best player in baseball. Mike Trout, Robinson Cano, and Justin Verlander all had higher WAR last season and Posey is well behind Yadier Molina on the list of best defensive catchers. But if I were Brian Sabean, there's no way I would trade him for any of those guys. Even with his injury history and risk of future injury at the catcher position, I'd still keep him behind the plate as much as possible too. Having an elite player and proven winner controlling a pitching staff and being involved in every single play of a game is just too valuable.
So here's the formula for success: build up a good farm system that produces some top-end talent, have enough money to sign them to long contracts, have even more money to sign other free agents to fill holes, find some low risk role players that get on ridiculous hot streaks in October, and draft a once in a generation player at a position that is crucial to team success. Easy, right?
So during this weekend's party by the Bay, where the players on the field will be battling to keep their early season momentum going against a tough Cardinals team, know that Giants fans are cheering for much more than what's happening on the diamond. They're cheering because they're happy and they're happy because they are experiencing something elusive in the life of a sports fan: everything has gone according to plan and the future is incredibly bright.

Roger Federer has been supremely dominant on the tennis court for years. There are the present rivals in top-two ranked Nadal and Djokovic but tennis' future powerhouses are just beginning to surface. One of them is a 21 year-old named Milos Raonic.
Milos Raonic has competed twice with Federer this season. Once was on the hard court at Indian Wells and once on clay in Madrid. Both were close in three-set matches. Now Raonic is set to clash again with Federer for the quarterfinals in Halle at the Gerry Weber Open. This time it will be on grass. This is definitely a season for Raonic to make his mark and test his skills.
Fewer than 2 years ago, Raonic was a somewhat gangly, very quiet player at the ATP Challenger event in Aptos, CA. He didn't even make an impression there other than he seemed to move around the court like it was small and he had a style that was very reminiscent of a more advanced player. It was like he was practicing for the top-20 on the ATP ranking. As they always say, how you practice is how you play. It didn't take him that long to play well and to get ready to crack the top 20. He currently is ranked 21st.

Healthy Snack Recipe: Spicy Baked Plantain Chips
Spicy, salty, crispy, crunchy. Plantain chips are just what we want in a snack, and this baked version is one we could happily munch on practically every day. The key to the perfect crunch? It's all about picking the right plantains.
Our first attempts at plantain chips were somewhat disastrous. Most of them burned and no amount of oil could keep them from sticking to the pan and falling apart when we tried to pry them off. Turns out, we were using the wrong plantains.
We're used to reaching for the riper yellow versions with plenty of black spots on the peel. These are great for grilling in a pan or frying. But sweet and juicy is not what you need in a plantain for chips. The less-ripe green fruit are much firmer. They can hold up to the heat even in a thin slice and provide the perfect crunch in chip form.
Start by removing the peel with a knife. Yellow plantains are pretty easy to peel by hand, but green ones are much tougher. With a knife, you may not get perfectly round slices, but you also won't end up with uncomfortable bits of peel jammed under your fingernails. Trust us on this one.
It's important to make the slices as uniform as possible, so use a mandoline if you have one. The slicing wheel of a food processor would probably work too.
Feel free to play around with the flavorings. This blend is pretty spicy, but you could easily tone it down or try other combinations. We experimented with minced garlic and grated ginger but found that they burned well before the chips were cooked, so we'd recommend sticking with dry flavorings. Another use for garlic powder, perhaps?
Spicy Baked Plantain Chips
2 green plantains
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon chili powder
1/2 teaspoon cumin
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
Preheat oven to 400°F.
Remove plantain peel with a knife. Thinly slice using a mandoline, if possible.
In a bowl, toss plantain slices with olive oil, spices and salt. Spread in a single layer on a cookie sheet.
Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, turning slices after about 8 minutes. Watch closely after turning - they can burn quickly. Remove from oven and serve.
Chips are best eaten immediately, but they'll keep for about a day.

I am always frying up black and green plantains in my house... this is a great way to avoid all the excess fat! Thanks for the recipe, I am totally going to try this out... I am sure my husband will be happy since he is on a diet :)
oohhh can't wait to try these!
We cook/bake this at home sans the cayenne pepper (b/c our son eats it) and we usually use different herbs in addition to cummin (more Indonesian-based herbs), and it's superb. :)
Perfect! I have a plaintain at home, waiting to be used.
Last week I fried plantain pieces in butter and sugar, then ate them with fresh strawberries, homemade caramel sauce, and a bit of cinnamon. they were wonderful.
I love this! I adore spicy plantain chips but usually avoid them because of the deep-frying bit. Thanks!
One way to keep the plantains from sticking (assuming you want to use ripe plantains) is to cover our baking sheet in foil, spray the foil with non-stick spray, and then place a sheet of parchment paper on it (the spray helps it stick to the foil). In all my years of cooking, I'm yet to cook something on parchment and have it stick.
crispy! Nice and healthy
I'm from Panama where plantains are a staple in our diet. Represent! :) The green ones are starchier, and cannot be eaten raw, and, as you say, are tricky to peel. What I've done (and heard people usually do) is rub a little oil on my hands before peeling them. That way the starchy stuff doesn't stick to my fingers. Also, it can blacken your skin! Also, run a sharp knife through the veins, lengthwise. It'll make them easier to peel.
This recipe sounds intriguing. I've always had "platanitos" (plantain chips) fried in oil, never baked. Trivia: "patacones" are twice-fried (imagine that!), thicker rounds of green plantain. After frying them the first time they are smashed to look like discs and fried a second time. Sooooo good with plenty of salt and maybe garlic powder.
Yellow plantains are sweeter and softer, and they are fried in slices to sugary, brown perfection. Finally, the black, super ripe ones are baked in a mixture of butter, sugar and cinnamon, with maybe raisins added. Yummm!!!
I was just wondering if this recipe would work if I used a food dehydrator instead?
This youtube video has *the best* instructions for peeling green plantains. I've no affiliation. Just found it helpful. http://youtu.be/RnmtogaYxF8?t=46s

Investing in US or Nicaragua
An article in Australia's The Daily Reckoning titled A Better Long Term Investment: The US or Nicaragua? takes a look at the relative advantage of investment in Nicaragua over the US. It's an interesting look at the question.
While the focus of the article is the financial side, there is some useful information for those just considering a move to Nicaragua for retirement. For example, there is a chart titled Safer than Cincinnati that offers an interesting comparision.
The US spends 4.7% of its GDP on its military, while Nicaragua spends only 0.7% of its GDP. The US employs 13 times more cops per 100,000 citizens than Nicaragua — 233 vs. 18. And yet, very few US cities are 13 times safer than Managua — El Paso, Texas being one of the rare exceptions.
