McAfee Helps Keep Consumers Even Safer on Their Mobile Devices
McAfee Helps Keep Consumers Even Safer on Their Mobile Devices
Enhanced McAfee Mobile Security App Provides Ultimate Privacy Protection and Refreshed User Experience
SANTA CLARA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- McAfee today announced the release of an enhanced version of McAfee® Mobile Security featuring App Lock, an innovative new app privacy technology, as well as a completely refreshed user interface. The enriched and all-inclusive security solution provides Android smartphone and tablet users with the power to ensure that the personal information living inside their mobile apps remains personal and protected.
Some of the most commonly used apps on the Android platform such as Facebook, LinkedIn and Gmail don't necessarily require a log-in each time they're launched. App Lock, which is now a part of McAfee's app protection arsenal, safeguards against this privacy danger. It allows Android users to protect installed apps against misuse by locking them with the same PIN that's tied to their McAfee Mobile Security account. McAfee is the first to include this feature as an integrated part of a comprehensive mobile app privacy solution.
"From photos to emails to credit card numbers, our mobile apps hold invaluable data that is often left unprotected and vulnerable," said Ari Jaaksi, senior vice president and general manager, mobile engineering and operations at McAfee. "App Lock allows consumers to block nosy friends, thieves and hackers from invading their privacy and stealing personal information. And for parents whose children have access to their phones, it can be used to control which apps the little ones can access."
McAfee Mobile Security is the most comprehensive mobile security solution available to Android users. In addition to App Lock, the update includes features designed to streamline the user experience and improve protection efficiency. A redesigned user interface provides a consistent experience across all McAfee consumer solutions and a simple-to-use color-coded system that makes it even easier to scan for threats. In addition to providing even more efficient battery usage and a compressed file size, McAfee has also recently boosted malware detection capabilities by 300 percent with more than 3 million apps as part of its Global Threat Intelligence Network.
McAfee Mobile Security
McAfee Mobile Security is an all-inclusive mobile security solution that offers protection against:
Viruses and Malware: Provides real-time protection from the latest viruses and malware by scanning for malicious code in files, memory cards, applications, Internet downloads and text messages. It also blocks risky websites to protect against phishing and scams.
Theft and Loss: Backs up and restores data remotely through an easy-to-use web portal. It also locates a lost or stolen device on a map, remotely locks it to prevent misuse and continues to track a device, even if the SIM is replaced.
Privacy Breaches: Reviews and reports on the privacy access levels of an app and checks against McAfee® TrustedSource™ URL reputation database to report risky apps and blocks unwanted calls and texts. With the newly added App Lock features, it also provides an added layer of customizable security to protect against the use of an app by unwanted persons.
Web Scams: Protects against web threats by blocking risky links within SMS, email, and social networking sites. It also safeguards against potential phishing sites, browser exploits, and malicious quick response (QR) codes.
McAfee has nearly a decade of mobile security experience and has protected more than 150 million devices with McAfee mobile solutions worldwide. In a test performed by AV-Test in March 2012, McAfee Mobile Security was just one of three solutions that detected malware 100 percent of the time.
A free trial of McAfee Mobile Security software is available on Google Play, and is available for purchase at $29.99 US. Current McAfee Mobile Security subscribers can simply update their app to the new version to enjoy the new features. McAfee Mobile Security functionality is also available in McAfee All Access, which provides protection across your PCs, Macs and mobile devices.

|Home Refrigeration Refrigerators All Refrigerator Viking 7 Series VRI7240WLBW
Viking vri7240wlbw
In the 70's Fred Carl Jr., a fourth generation building contractor was building kitchens for his clients and saw many of them used commercial ranges in their home. When it was time for him to build his own kitchen, he realized the commercial ranges that were offered were not well suited for the home. His wife wanted a classic looking range like the old Chambers, her mother used to use. His solution was to create a hybrid range that would combine the look and styling of commercial ranges and yet have the safety features and sizes home consumers desired.
Consistency in both performance and design should be a major consideration when building or remodeling a home. With the complete Viking indoor or outdoor kitchen, every single product works together in form and function with the same level of excellence. It's something Viking calls Design Integrity.
Viking offers complete ultra-premium kitchens and truly consistent design, while delivering the quality and performance that make Viking the true market leader. Across all product categories, the knobs, handles, bezels, curves, angles, and lines all follow the same design cues â even the grain of stainless is the same from product to product. This enables the designer to create a perfectly harmonious kitchen in one of three Viking product offerings â Professional Indoor, D3 Indoor, or Professional Outdoor.
You wouldn't install mismatched cabinets and drawers or countertops. Yet design differences are even more dramatic between multiple appliance manufacturers. Traditional or contemporary. Stainless or color finish. No matter the look you're going for, no one can match the Viking kitchen and Viking Design Integrity.

Freestanding refrigerator/freezers, refrigerated drawers, and ice machines are available in Stainless Steel (SS) only.

text: A hard-to-tracking hacking group, known to use zero-day attacks, changed tack to use social media in an attempt to compromise an employee of an energy company, according to new research from FireEye.FireEye declined to say who conducted the attack other than it was the same group that ran a campaign it dubbed "Operation Clandestine Fox," which it described in April and early May. It also did not identify where the employee works.FireEye's subsidiary, Mandiant, is notable for outing in February 2013 a Shanghai-based Chinese Army signals intelligence branch, Unit 61398, which it said in a report was responsible for running wide-ranging hacking campaigns against U.S. industry. It called the group APT1, short for Advanced Persistent Threat.Last month, U.S. prosecutors filed an unprecedented criminal indictment against five members of the unit, alleging they stole intellectual property and, in some cases, gave it to Chinese companies. China fumed and denied the accusations.FireEye's latest research describes how an attacker, which it nicknamed "Emily," courted the energy employee's colleagues on a social network. She peppered them with probing questions, such as the name of the IT manager for the company and what type of software they ran, according to Mike Scott, a senior threat analyst at FireEye.Eventually, Emily contacted the employee via the social network and the two corresponded for three weeks. She eventually sent him her resume in a ".rar" archive to his personal email address.The archive file had a PDF of her resume but also a malicious version of TTCalc, which is an open source calculator. When executed, the malicious TTCalc installed a benign version of itself but also slipped a backdoor onto the computer.The attack is different from other campaigns by the group in that this required tricking the victim. In the past, the group has relied on a number of browser-based zero-day exploits, or attacks that take advantage of a software vulnerability, which often require little user interaction aside from navigating to a malicious web page.FireEye linked this attack to previous ones because the attackers utilized a domain name it had used in the past as part of its command-and-control structure. That was perhaps a glaring error on the part of the attackers, as FireEye had noted in a previous blog post that the group typically does "not reuse command and control infrastructure."Send news tips and comments to firstname.lastname@example.com.

Amber teething necklaces are a type of jewelry designed for teething babies and toddlers to wear to ease the pain and discomfort of teething. The necklaces are not designed for the young children to place in their mouths and gnaw to sooth pain, but to lie upon the skin, relieving pain in two ways.
Absorption. One theory states this type of necklace soothes pain because the skin's natural warmth releases tiny amounts of oils from the amber beads. The child's skin absorbs these healing oils into the bloodstream, which then relieves teething pains. The oils have succinic acid, found in almost all plant and animal tissue and sometimes used as an anti-inflammatory agent.
Natural energy. Another theory regarding the healing properties of amber is that of natural energy. Baltic amber, the national gem of Lithuania, it is a fossil resin thought to be electromagnetically alive, producing significant amounts of organic healing energy. Placed next to the skin, its natural energy is said to have healing properties.
Pros of amber teething necklaces. Parents wishing to sooth a child's pain and discomfort from teething may feel the natural amber necklace is an alternative to over-the-counter pain reliever medications.
Cons of amber teething necklaces. While limiting the amount of over-the-counter medication you give to your baby or toddler may be a parental choice, safety precautions should never be overlooked. An amber teething necklace — or any jewelry — worn around the neck or even an amber bracelet worn around the wrist can catch or snag on something, choking the child and causing injury or even death. Amber teething necklace makers do caution parents that babies and toddlers should never wear the jewelry while sleeping. However, an accident can occur any time of the day. If the necklace or bracelet breaks, the individual beads also have the potential to become a choking hazard. Dr. Valerie King, a member of the American Academy of Family Physicians Commission on Health of the Public and Science discourages "parents from treating their children with certain homeopathic remedies, such as teething tablets that contain belladonna and amber teething necklaces. Belladonna is a poison, and necklaces of any kind pose multiple safety risks with small children."
Before parents try any type of remedy to relieve their child's teething pain, they should consult their physician.

In a sign of increased caution about flying near combat zones, U.S. and European airlines halted flights to Israel Tuesday after a rocket landed near Tel Aviv's Ben Gurion Airport.
Delta Air Lines and United Airlines suspended service between the U.S. and Israel indefinitely. US Airways scrapped its one flight to Tel Aviv Tuesday. Germany's Lufthansa and Air France also suspended flights. The actions come days after a Malaysia Airlines jet was shot down over eastern Ukraine with 298 people on board.
Following the action by the U.S. airlines, the Federal Aviation Administration prohibited U.S. airlines from flying to the Tel Aviv airport for 24 hours.
The Israelis are fighting Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip in the third war in just over 5 years. Israeli police confirmed that a rocket from Gaza landed in an area near the airport. Police spokeswomen Luba Samri said Tuesday's rocket landing was the closest to the airport since fighting began on July 8.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 17 was shot down over eastern Ukraine Thursday while flying at 33,000 feet. Some experts have second-guessed the airline's decision to fly over an area where pro-Russian separatists are battling the Ukrainian army. But Malaysian officials have countered that the plane's path from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur was approved by international regulators.
Aviation and legal experts said Tuesday that airlines are now taking risk assessment into their own hands, both for the safety of passengers and to avoid claims of negligence.
Aviation consultant Robert Mann said airlines are becoming more proactive in the wake of the Fligth 17 disaster.
"It's really forcing every carrier, every business jet operator to do their own due diligence, do their own risk assessment, given the geopolitical situation," Mann said.
Jonathan Reiter, a prominent New York aviation-accident attorney, said flying into an airport after a near-miss by a rocket could be used to show that the airline was negligent. That explains why airlines are suspending service to Israel.
"I'm sure it is human concern as well," Reiter said, "but I think (the airlines) feel it is wise to err on the side of caution because it is their burden to prove they are doing everything possible to avoid injuries and deaths."
Delta's one daily flight was already in the air. A Delta Boeing 747 from New York was flying over the Mediterranean headed for Tel Aviv when it turned around and flew to Paris instead. Flight 468 had 273 passengers and 17 crew on board. US Airways and United flights that were scheduled to take off later in the day. A Delta spokesman declined to go beyond the details released in a statement.
Israel's Transportation Ministry called on the airlines to reverse their decision and said it was trying to explain that the airport was "safe for landings and departures."
"Ben-Gurion Airport is safe and completely guarded and there is no reason whatsoever that American companies would stop their flights and hand terror a prize," it said in a statement.
Casey Norton, a spokesman for US Airways' parent company American Airlines, said the airline is "in constant contact with the FAA and are monitoring the situation closely." The airline has not yet made a decision about flights to Israel scheduled for Wednesday and beyond, he said.

Marvin Miller died Tuesday at the age of 95. And here's why you should know his name: Miller transformed the game of baseball even though he never put on a uniform.
This slight union lawyer was considered the enemy of owners, and yet he might have done more than anyone else to bring free market competition to the national pastime and make it a modern big business.
He was lionized and vilified and is sadly still denied entry into the Baseball Hall of Fame.
Baseball combines sports and statistics, so consider these numbers when assessing the career of Marvin Miller. When the Brooklyn-born mustachioed man was named executive director of the Major League Baseball Player's Association in 1966, the average player's salary was just $7,000 a year. Many professional players had to work a second job just to provide for their families. In 1984, when Miller left the position, the average players' salary was $329,000. Today it is $3.4 million.
The reason is free agency. And that was the innovation that Miller brought to the game, against the bitter opposition of team owners.
Bizarre as it might sound today, 40 years ago baseball was exempt from antitrust legislation. One of the impacts was that players could be contractually obligated to work for one team in perpetuity through what was called the reserve clause. They were effectively denied the ability to test their value in the open market, something Miller saw as akin to slavery.
In 1969, he and a courageous St. Cardinals' player named Curt Flood, later christened "Dred Scott in Spikes" by columnist George Will, took their challenge to the reserve clause all the way to the Supreme Court, where they lost by a 5 to 3 decision in 1972.
But Miller persevered and pursued the players' liberation of their capital through free agency in 1975. This survived a series of court challenges and became the norm today.
Yes, players are now paid sometimes absurd salaries, but fans come to see players, not owners, and they deserve their share of the profits as a result. Yes, fans are too often denied their game by selfish strikes perpetrated by players and owners alike. These are unwelcome side effects of Miller's legacy.
But the free agency era of increased competition has actually chipped away at monopolies in every sense. Dynasties are less frequent and more teams have climbed from the cellar to the World Series. Competition works.
The fact that Miller was denied entry into the Hall of Fame as recently as 2010 speaks to the influence of owners and their deep dislike of Miller's intrusions and innovations.
But there is irony that the trust-buster actually helped grow the economic pie of baseball, making more players and owners wealthy. It was ultimately a win-win, though the owners would always have a hard time seeing it.
The most eloquent tribute to Miller might have been his extended inclusion in the documentary "Baseball" by Ken Burns, one of my favorite movies. But the real tribute is all around us; in countless ways the national pastime has been transformed through the efforts of a man whose name you might not have heard before Tuesday night: Marvin Miller, R.I.P.

HTC has signed Robert Downey Jr. to a global marketing deal that will cost the company $12 million, according to a report from Bloomberg. The Taiwanese handset vendor posted net income of less than $3 million in Q1 2013. HTC would be committing to the pricey marketing campaign at a time when sales of the Samsung Galaxy S4 are widely speculated to be slowing down shockingly soon after its spring launch. Apple's iPhone volume growth slowed down sharply in the first quarter and its spring sales are expected to be muted. Could this be the right moment for HTC to try to revamp its brand image?
According to Bloomberg, Downey Jr. will appear as himself, not as Iron Man or Sherlock Holmes, the two characters that he helped turn into billion-dollar franchises over the past couple of years. As Tom Cruise turns steadily creepier and Will Smith suffers a humiliating setback with After Earth, Downey Jr. is arguably the biggest Hollywood actor in the world at the moment.
It would be highly unusual for a second-tier smartphone vendor to employ a star of this magnitude in a marketing campaign. Nokia used Pamela Anderson in widely mocked ads during 2010 to promote its star-crossed N8 smartphone. BlackBerry recently hired Alicia Keys as a spokesperson. HTC would take the celebrity game to another level with this new move.

Before we can experience 3D virtual sex with true life-like realism, or have high-definition hologram girls dancing naked in our living rooms, it's commonly accepted that we need a major leap forward in internet speeds. Such speeds will be needed in order to handle the real-time data downloading required for true high-defintion interraction. Encouragingly, signs are that such a breakthrough is just around the corner. Verizon, which has been predicting 3D hologram tv in the next 5 – 10 years, requiring 1 gbps broadband, announced this week that it has been successfully testing speeds of up to a staggering 10 giga bits per second – for both downloads AND uploads, using a new technology called XG-PON2.
To put this into perspective, the current roll-outs of 'super-fast' broadband, which few people yet enjoy, usually consist of maximum speeds of 100 mega bits per second. That means that the speeds that Verizon are testing are 100 times faster than super-fast, and over 1,000 times faster than the broadband speeds that the vast majority of people enjoy today.

Judging from the chaos on the roads today, a lot of people still don't.
I was in a big four-wheel drive SUV which only had no-season tires on it (a sharply-worded e-mail is in the works...) and even that got stuck a couple of times.
I know there's no point in whining to you people (my audience) about all the stupid drivers out there - you know this, and (I hope...) you aren't among them.
But so many people spinning out, everywhere!
I heard from one reader that several ramps off the 407 were blocked this morning because drivers who were presumably still doing the usual buck-forty on that road despite the obviously limited traction and visibility found out when they hit the off-ramp that - hmm-mm, my brakes and steering don't seem to be working as well this morning...
No s__t, Sherlock.
On Highway 25 heading up the Escarpment towards my house this 'prevening', to use Big Bang Theory's Sheldon Cooper's term, there are two lanes northbound, to accommodate the big trucks climbing the hill. But the Jim-Only lane was not being travelled in, hence was still snow-covered, so only the left lane was clear enough for traffic.
That didn't stop several cars - a red four-door Jeep Wrangler, a black Ram pick-up and a black Infiniti EX Crossover among those I personally witnessed - from diving out into the on-coming downhill lane to pass me and several other vehicles, including an eighteen-wheeler which was struggling to, literally, make the grade.
Yeah yeah, brave guys - we all got four-wheel drive too. Remember; mostly what that does is let you have your crash at a higher speed.
Seriously; what is SO important that you have to save four seconds getting home? At the risk of a very serious head-on crash? For which you would be 100 percent at fault?
The best us sane people can do is to back off, and let them go have their crash with somebody else.
Or a guard rail.
Oh yes, one more thing, one more time - just because your dash lights are on doesn't mean your taillights are on. With most Daytime Running Lights systems, they aren't.
So nobody coming from behind can see you. Particularly critical in inclement weather like today's.
Not sure about your car? How about doing a walk-around before leaving home tomorrow morning and find out?
Better still, just develop the proper habit - fire up your car, then fire up your full headlights.
All the lights on, all the time.

Since the movie "Sideways" in 2004, filmmakers have been trying to create movies that would evoke a similar response with audiences. "Sideways" became an independent film sensation that also intensified demand for Pinot Noir, and the opposite for Merlot, in the U.S. market. Most reviews, including my own, were positive for the film particularly in how wine was depicted.Â
Time passed and other projects were put into production with the first "wine film" being Ridley Scott's "A Good Year" in 2006. Since early reviews were terrible for the film, I passed watching it until it was on HBO. And I was somewhat surprised to find not the disaster expected but a flawed film with some decent performances. But it failed as a wine film since the filmmakers didn't understand what "Sideways" got right.
They made wine a central character in the story.
Wine in "Sideways" was something that affected and transformed the central characters of the story. It took on a significance of being something more than just a prop, as wine had been in every film before "Sideways." And wine continued in this subordinate role in "A Good Year" that couldn't save a predicable retelling of "Under the Tuscan Sun" from a male perspective but set in Provence.
I thought the same thing while watching "Bottle Shock" last weekend. Like "A Good Year," I waited until I could watch it as a part of my Netflix subscription and it was not as bad as I expected. But it wasn't that good either despite the filmmakers attempts to make wine central to the story.
Very loosely inspired by George Taber's "Judgement of Paris" the film tells the story of the Jim and Bo Barrett who's Chardonnay beat the best white Burgundies in the 1976 blind tasting organized by Steven Spurrier. I can see why Taber and Spurrier have said bad things about "Bottle Shock" since they both come off as eccentrics if not buffoons (Taber especially). But it's the film's suspension of belief and compression of the story that really sink its chances of becoming another "Sideways."
Adapting "Judgement of Paris" would prove to be a difficult challenge since the book is only interesting in the middle telling the stories of the people behind the winning wines. Both Warren Winiarski and Mike Grgich figure prominently in the book documenting the back story of Stag's Leap Wine Cellars Cabernet and Chateau Montelena Chardonnay but are nowhere to be found in "Bottle Shock." Since the movie is about Chateau Montelena and Steven Spurrier, Winiarski's lack of screen time is understandable but Grgich made the winning wine and is only evoked by a guy with a barret in the background of a couple scenes. This probably had more to do with the bad blood between Jim Barrett and Mike Grgich than the choices of the screenwriters, but these sorts of deviations from the facts ultimately prove too much and the result is a mildly entertaining tale that will bother wine lovers to no end with its loose ends (we are supposed to believe a bottle of 1947 Cheval Blanc is available at a dive bar in Calistoga? the temporary discoloring of the Montelena Chardonnay happened to the 1972 vintage and not the '73 as depicted in the film).
But documentaries don't have these sorts of issues since the viewer doesn't have to read between the lines. And I'm happy to report that the new wine documentary "Merlove" is worth a look for anyone into wine. A full review and interview with filmmaker Rudy McClain on my next podcast posted this weekend.

2011 Council of Councils Van Show - Web Exclusive
West Coast Show Brings Strong Turnout
An uncertain weather forecast didn't keep the van fans away from the 2011 Council of Councils Van Show in Buena Park on February 19. As organizer Doug Nykanen said, "The van gods smiled upon us." Later in the afternoon, the rain came just as the show was winding down, but that didn't dampen the spirits of the attendees, who came from as far away as the Midwest, East Coast, and even Canada.
A broad variety of vans were represented at the show, from early domestics, to late-models, and even one customized Sprinter! The show represented one of the strongest turnouts for a West Coast van show in recent memory, encouraging organizers that a resurgence may be happening in the West, following a continued strong presence in the Midwest. Come back early next week for full details of all the winning vans!

Mysterious Casey Anthony Video Diary Surfaces
[There was a video here]
For the first time since being found not guilty, most hated mother in America Casey Anthony has appeared in public! On, uh, YouTube. And perhaps unintentionally. Biggest revelation: Her much-discussed "disguise" is a Kate Gosselin hairdo.
This morning the Today Show aired the above video diary and said it had confirmed its veracity. Today describes the video as Casey "speaking out for the first time," but is that what she meant to do in this video? Or is this a private video diary that somehow ended up online? And if so, how?
In eyeglasses and a tanktop, woman-Today-says-is-Casey gives the date as October 13, 2011. "I'm just starting to figure out my new computer," she says. "I guess these will be as tedious as my audio recordings have been." She describes herself as "extremely excited" to Skype, keep a video log, and "to have something that I can finally call mine":
I don't know. It's been a long time since I've had something I'm able to call mine, and now that I have something even as silly as saying that I have a computer, and a camera, and a phone. Granted, I wouldn't have the phone with [name scrubbed from audio] and I've actually now paid for my own computer. The camera was a gift, but these are things that are mine, that I don't— I don't know— that I don't have to give back. It's kind of nice to say that I have things that are mine, that I can take with me after I leave here next year.
Where did this video come from? Today doesn't give its source, but their version is watermarked with a two-line ad for "Up-to-Date News/Videos from around-the-World & Casey Anthony." The same watermark appears on every other version I've found online, including People magazine's version, which came from the Facebook page of "People Against 'We Support Casey Anthony.'" People cites a "source who knows Casey's current whereabouts" who says Casey released the video intentionally. But if that's the case, then where is the original version? Why would Casey Anthony, who is on probation and in hiding, purposefully advertise "around-the-World" news in a months-old video? This feels like an unintentional release to me, of a video meant for a smaller audience, or therapy, or something.
Like her infamous party pictures, this new piece of digital Casey Anthony paraphernalia is spiraling into the mainstream after circulating among anonymous skeptics and haters online. One YouTube description notes, "I don't know yet where this came from, it was simply floating around Facebook... I have no affiliation with her, and if I did, it would be brief." Another merely asks, "could THIS be horseface."

Grape Yield
The importance of Grape Yield in Vineyard Management
Each individual vine has a finite amount of energy to put into its grapes and foliage. The fewer grapes there are on a vine, the more energy that will go to those grapes. The vast majority of high-quality wines are produced from vineyards that yield less than 5 tons per acre.
Soil fertility has a major impact on the tons per acre a vineyard will yield. Many mountain vineyard sites are grown in soil that has little organic material. Some of these vineyards can yield less than one ton of extremely flavorful grapes per acre. Small quantities combined with difficult and expensive logistical and maintenance issues make wine from these regions expensive.
While more fertile soils that are often present on valley floors can also produce great wines, the vineyard manager may have to do any number of things to make this possible. Excessive vegetative growth and grape clusters are often pruned in an effort to produce the correct yield.
Especially in more fertile soils, vineyard managers will remove leaves and new shoots to ensure proper sun and wind exposure on and through the vine. Grapes that have received sufficient energy from the vine have developed tannins, sugars and acidity.
California Wineries can also space vines closer together in an effort to make them compete for more finite resources. This results in lower quantities of higher quality grapes. That said, grape yield management can be a double-edged sword regarding quality and economics.
Larger yields will produce more wine and can be more economical within a specific price range per bottle. At the same time, many wineries are able to charge more for their wine at least partially based on low production. Producers must find the correct balance between price per bottle, quantity and quality. When wineries fail, it is often because they did not balance these variables correctly.

Beck's latest evidence for "death panels": FDA may rescind approval of ineffective drug
Glenn Beck sees death panels everywhere. He was among the first in the conservative media to jump on Sarah Palin's original false claim that an end-of-life planning provision of the House version of health care reform constituted a "death panel," saying of her claim, "I believe it to be true." After Palin's falsehood imploded, Beck said that she had "made a point" in "an inflammatory way," but that the bill would create death panels through rationing. He later linked a task force's recommendation that fewer women younger than 50 receive regular mammograms to the death panel smear.
Today, Beck is claiming that "your first death panel is here" with the Federal Drug Administration's review of the cancer drug Avastin. Last month, a panel of cancer experts recommended that the FDA consider revoking their approval of the drug, and the agency is currently doing so. Without FDA approval, insurers may stop paying for the treatment.
After gleefully mocking people who call those who claim the Obama administration is implementing death panels "conspiracy theorists," Beck aired a clip of himself a year ago defining death panels as attempts to ration health care to save the government money (which, incidentally, was far different from the original definition offered by Sarah Palin and other conservative media). He then aired a montage of politicians and media figures ridiculing such claims.
Beck then declared that "your first death panel is here," and read the first paragraph of a Washington Post article on the Avastin issue. He commented: "See, it's not that they'd ever be called death panels, or anything like that. The point has always been with this new system, it's based on money. It's possibly happening now, exactly the way we said it would."
The punch-line? The Avastin decision has nothing whatsoever to do with "money," or rationing. It has to do with the fact that Avastin doesn't seem to do much, and has significant side effects.
That's right, the FDA's issue with Avastin isn't that it costs too much for what it does, but that it isn't very effective in the first place. Beck might have known this if he continued reading past the Post article's first paragraph to the part where the Post reported that the "FDA is not supposed to consider costs in its decisions" and that the FDA's advisory committee cited "two new studies that the advisers concluded had not shown that the drug extends life."
The article also quoted National Cancer Institute senior investigator Wyhdham Wilson, the committee's chair, who said that "The vast majority opinion of the committee was that the drug was not doing very much, and what it was doing was more than offset by the negative... In our best judgment, we did not feel this drug was safe to give relative to its benefits."
The Post further reported:
The recommendation has been praised by many cancer experts and by advocates for breast cancer patients.
"The FDA should never have approved Avastin for breast cancer to begin with," said Fran Visco of the National Breast Cancer Coalition. "We don't see evidence of benefit, but we do see evidence of harm."
Question: Is Beck in favor of keeping ineffective drugs on the market? Or is he just throwing everything he can at the Obama administration in the hope that something sticks? I'll leave that one to the "conspiracy theorists."

PITTSBURGH -- Pittsburgh Penguins forward Bill Guerin says the NHL must outlaw hits to the head.
That includes the kind of hit leveled by Guerin's teammate Matt Cooke against Boston Bruins center Marc Savard.
Savard is out indefinitely with a Grade 2 concussion sustained during a shoulder-to-head hit by Cooke on Sunday, but Cooke was not suspended.
NHL enforcement chief Colin Campbell said precedent was set when the Flyers forward Mike Richards wasn't suspended for a similar hit on Florida forward David Booth late last year.
NHL general managers recommended during their meeting Wednesday that a blind-side hit to the head -- or the kind Cooke inflicted upon Savard -- should not be permitted.
Guerin had expected Cooke to be suspended.
"If a guy gets hurt like that with a shot to the head, there's got to be something," Guerin said. "Actions happen. Guys don't mean to hurt each other, but they do. You got to pay a price for that."
Guerin said players must know they can play the game with protection against hits to the head, especially those that a player can't see coming.
"We're all under the same umbrella, whether the guy's on my team and I'm sitting right next to him or he's playing in California," Guerin said. "It doesn't matter. We're all playing in the same league. We all want the same safety. We all want to be looked after the same way. I understand he [Cooke] is on my team but, hey, he's in a tough spot."
The Penguins play the Bruins for the fourth and final time this season March 18 in Boston.
Cooke has been suspended previously for hard hits.
Cooke was suspended two games this season for a hit to the head of Rangers center Artem Anisimov. He also drew a two-game suspension for hitting Carolina forward Scott Walker in the head on Jan. 20, 2009.
Cooke was not suspended for a knee-to-knee hit on Carolina's Erik Cole that occurred during last season's Eastern Conference finals.

September 21st marks the one year anniversary of the execution of Troy Anthony Davis by the State of Georgia.
Davis's execution came after nearly twenty years of efforts to commute his sentence and secure a new trial. In the years since Davis's initial conviction numerous eye witnesses recanted their stories and alleged that they had been coerced by detectives to identify him as the shooter. Davis and his family had long maintained his innocence. But after three stays of execution and a U.S. Supreme Court intervention, noted figures like Bishop Desmond Tutu, Pope Benedict XVI, and former President Jimmy Carter joined the rallying cry for a new trial.
Bolstered by social media over 1 million people signed petitions for clemency while many more made #TOOMUCHDOUBT a top trending topic for 2011. Silent vigils erupted into spontaneous marches on the White House and state capitols across the U.S. as everyday people conveyed their outrage over the possibility that an innocent man may have been put to death. The now iconic "I Am Troy Davis" image seemed to be permanently etched in our collective memory. Yet one year after Davis's death, we are faced with a question first posed by the late Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in 1967: Where Do We Go From Here?
The public's response to Troy Davis's plight reflects a persistent and troubling pattern among communities of color: intense organizing in response to overt instances of racial injustice with little attention to building a community-based infrastructure that charts more preventive strategies. Perhaps the "on to the next one" approach is a consequence of "racial fatigue" but the need to move from moment to movement remains. Troy Davis's execution exists within the context of broader racial disparities in the criminal justice system. African Americans make up approximately 12% of the total U.S. population but comprise over 50% of the 3,189 death row inmates in the U.S. Numerous scientific studies have documented the tremendous racial, class, and gender bias embedded in deciding who is most likely to receive a death sentence.
More importantly, the application of the death penalty in the US privileges the lives of certain victims over others. Since 1977 the homicide rate for Black and White victims has been nearly equal. Yet in that same period, 80% of inmates executed in the United States have been convicted of murdering a white victim. The millions of taxpayer dollars spent on death penalty cases could be better spent on providing restitution, counseling, support, and violence prevention programs for victims and their families. In light of the overwhelming evidence of this bias the time has come for our communities to engage in sustained, grassroots organizing surrounding abolition and the broader quest for racial justice.
Where is our power? The political impotence felt the night of Troy Davis' execution can still be felt today. Many of us remember vividly watching the news and waiting to hear of possible intervention from the US Supreme court and being overwhelmed with relief when the temporary stay was announced. That moment of relief soon turned to shock, sadness and for some, fury. Furious with the state of Georgia, with its parole board, with the many appellate courts, but mostly we were furious with our lack of collective power to save the life of Troy Davis. James Donald of the Georgia State Parole board was key in the final decision to proceed with the execution of Troy Davis. James Donald, the entire parole board, and other individuals empowered with the ability to halt the execution continue on with business as usual without any significant political punishment from those of us who passionately demanded clemency. Our ability to impact this case was reduced to appealing to the conscious of a people who have normalized state sanctioned killings. Collectively, we are not in a position to politically reward or punish.
One year ago, millions of people worldwide called on America to question the execution of Troy Davis and the use of capital punishment. Millions of people were forced face the horrible reality of capital punishment as we attempted to make sense of a senseless and cruel institution. Yet as of September 21, 2012, 11 people across the United States are scheduled to be put to death at the hands of state governments.
What can you do? In the summer of 2012, members of Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority, Incorporated passed an international resolution calling for an end to the death penalty in the United States. This resolution marks what can very well be a shift in the consciousness and behavior of Black institutions in America. The Sorority made a very powerful statement by drafting and passing this resolution. They affirmed the value of sustained efforts to affirm social justice and human rights. Imagine if the entire Divine 9 passed similar resolutions. Imagine if religious and educational institutions did the same.
We can all write our Congressional representatives and voice our disapproval with the Federal government's use of capital punishment. Currently, there are 58 people sitting on federal death row. More than half (26) of those awaiting death in federal jurisdiction are Black. We have a responsibility to hold our elected representatives accountable.
The recent efforts to secure repeal in Connecticut were noble and successful. We can do the same in the coming months in Maryland and later in Delaware and New Hampshire. State by state, we must contribute to the efforts reduce the number of states that currently have the death penalty, work to reduce the numbers of people being sentenced to death in heavy use states, and just as important have conversations with our family, friends and neighbors about the ineffectiveness of the death penalty and our responsibility to end it soon. There are a committed group of people who are prepared to come to your school, place of worship, community center, barber shop, etc to further inform, educate and assist local efforts to become involved in the movements for repeal.
Let us honor the memory of Troy Davis by ensuring the end of capital punishment in this country and committing ourselves to doing the work necessary to save lives.
"…I ask to my family and friends that you all continue to pray, that you all continue to forgive. Continue to fight this fight." – Troy Davis September 21, 2011.

Jim Morrison
"That was Jim! Jim wrote that! Jim came down from the rooftop! The words, man, the words! Jim Morrison was a poet and he wrote the words! Hi, I'm Ray! Ray Manzarek! I play the piano!"
James Douglas "Jim" Morrison (December 8, 1943 – July 3, 1971) was an American sex symbol, crooner, and occasional poet, best known for his time as the
unstable leader of the LSD-alcohol-speed rock group, The Doors. Morrison's flowing locks of hair, sharp wit, and incredibly thick beard were the main reasons for his great popularity.
During his time with The Doors, Morrison produced a large amount of popular music and became a symbol of the '60s to rival even The Beatles. However, his heavy drinking and complete lack of social etiquette also made him a symbol of wild, crazy youth and he is known to have set the standard for many of the later famous singers in rock history. Additionally, Morrison is known to have never learned how to read music or even play an actual musical instrument (tambourine is not considered an instrument), yet he is continually credited with being the main creative force behind the Doors; his lovely mind was somehow able to formulate complex melodies and map out parts for multiple instruments at a moment's notice. Today, Morrison's legacy is astonishing, with people of all countries and backgrounds worshipping him with wall-sized posters and black lights.
Morrison was also a self-proclaimed possessed body. Apparently, the soul of a Native American man passed into the young Morrison's body and led him on his spiritually drunken path. This has never been proven, and may have been simply an excuse for some of his less acceptable behaviors as an adult.
The Early Years
Jim Morrison was the firstborn of Steve and Clara Morrison, two innocent lovers in search of a normal American parenthood experience. Unfortunately, they had no idea what raising Jim Morrison would be like. The young boy was a troubled and mischievous little bugger, and as an elementary, middle, and high school student was obviously sharper than his classmates. Even as a smaller child, Jim showed his dark yet unique sense of humor when he nearly killed his siblings on a ski hill via toboggan. He mainly made friends with students who shared his interests in literature, poetry, and general snideness, especially towards those with authority. Morrison enjoyed comparing his teachers' lives and actions to those of various tragic characters from literature. The teachers would usually end up breaking down in tears, their emotions finally set loose. Soon, Jim's parents began to realize just how rebellious he was, and naturally became very, very scared.
Jim, however, merely saw himself as a cool cat with a nice attitude and a variety of weird interests. He paid no attention to the consequences of his more questionable actions, and merely sought a good time wherever he went, especially at parties where drugs and alcohol were made available. He made a habit of infuriating as many people as possible each day, including his girlfriend Tandy Martin. During his high school years, Jim began writing poetry at a disturbing rate, filling notebooks, textbooks, and bathroom walls with his views on the Earth and people in general. At the time, they naturally appeared to be simply the annoyed rantings of a bored teenager, but later proved very important to Jim's creative process as a composer. By the time Jim graduated, he was ready to go off and fulfill his wildest dreams. To do this, however, would require plenty of hard work, communication, and other stuff.
Forming The Doors
Sensing that great change was in the air, Jim left his childhood home after high school and began hitchhiking across the country, searching for the ocean. He had little money, but often tried reciting poetry or singing old ballads to "pay" for food or clothing. Sometimes he merely walked through blistering deserts or waded through wild marshes with only his thoughts to accompany him. After many hard weeks, Jim finally arrived in the city of eternal love, sunshine, and happiness and set up a tent on a popular seaside beach. During the next few months, Jim got well in touch with his inner self, did as many drugs as he could get his hands on, and enjoyed acting inappropriately around teenage girls.
Morrison eventually decided to be slightly more productive and join film school at UCLA. He had always enjoyed films, both artistic and not, and so promptly sent home for the tuition. Relieved that the young man was even attempting anything significant, his parents gladly paid for his initial time at school. He quickly gained a reputation at UCLA for his odd, non-linear films and was not popular with his teachers or many of his fellow students. For that reason, he ended up spending a lot more time back on the beach with his drugs.
It was a few months later that Jim met the Buddhist organ player Ray Manzarek outside of a police station that Jim had just been released from. The two struck up an unlikely friendship, facilitated by the fact that Ray shared Jim's interest in film at UCLA and LSD, which he could afford a lot more of than Jim could. Jim soon told Ray of strange voices he had been hearing in his head, which constantly urged him to make music and become famous. At first, Ray took Jim for even crazier than he had already assumed, but after Jim sang him a few of his own songs (supplied by the voices), Ray knew they had to share Jim's talent with the world.
The two started a rock band with two of Ray's friends from Buddhism class at UCLA. Originally called The Portals, they went through numerous name changes (The Gateways, The Apertures, The Entrances, The Physical Admittance or Departure of a New Territory) before arriving at the more conventional name The Doors. Their debut album, creatively titled The Doors (which was Manzarek's idea), hit the music scene hard. Many music fans bored with The Beatles and their tiresome ability to create album after album of musical masterpieces were far more engaged by the music of The Doors, and Jim's creative lyrical adventures.
While he was not responsible for actually making the band famous (that was Robby Krieger's job), Jim did push the band and their music to the brink of total perversion by singing about topics that audiences raised on cute pop rock may not have been ready for. Jim truly intended to open interstellar portals to dreamscapes of unparalleled enlightenment and ecstasy, but eventually only succeeded in pissing off old people and inciting fornication. Many quality-leather back seats were stained due to the band's sonic evocation of crazy shape-shifting demons making tender love beside cacti. It was during this time that Jim Morrison realized that he was perhaps the world's foremost sex symbol, a fact that both frightened him and made him act even stupider around women.
Time with The Doors
"Yeaaaah OOOoooh eeeeeee ERRRRRRRR Uuuhhhh Ahhhh"
Morrison wrote most of the lyrics and music for The Doors while continuing his drug use, having sex with an enviable quantity of women, drinking, and making an image for himself at photo shoots by staring moodily at non-existent objects whilst pointing at the camera. He also singlehandedly created the now well-known image of The Doors as some guy with leather pants screaming and jumping around while three hippies played carnival music behind him.
Morrison boldly began introducing radical new ideas to the world of rock, such as his starling "mommy complex" lyrics. These lyrics in particular were highly controversial; his views on familial relationships and hidden desires turned many heads, and raised many angry, wagging fingers from plenty of listeners. With later albums, he even started to enjoy experimenting with his own identity, using fictional names to build up fantastic (but also slightly stupid) alternate identities, the most famous being "The Lizard King". Along with the super-clever anagram "Mr. Mojo Risin'" (a reference to Morrison's addiction to a morning cup of coffee), these alternate identities greatly increased Jim's mystique and popularity, mainly with daydreaming teenage girls.
On stage with the Doors, Morrison's acrobatic performances allowed him to release inner tension while simultaneously conjuring up delight from his fans. Soon, many people's main reason for coming to see the band was to watch Jim dry-hump his microphone stand and body slam the stage. Jim's actions got out of hand after he began simulating oral sex with Robby Krieger's guitar at concert after concert. His bandmates knew something had to be done to help the troubled Jim. But then again, it was Jim's stunts that were bringing in the money.
However, by the time the band released their album The Soft Parade, Jim was reaching the evil, scary cliff of no return. He became more interested in drinking than actually writing songs, leaving Krieger to throw together a collection of lame hits. Obviously, Jim was in a bad shape, as it was on this album that he actually let Krieger sing on one of the songs. Krieger later insisted that it was all Jim's idea, and formally apologized for anyone who had been offended by his vocal spotlight.
In live performances, the Doors were reaching the point of absolute insanity. When Morrsion actually decided to show up, he would often ignore his bandmates and spend hours either lying face-down onstage, insulting the audience, or making dozens of crude sex jokes, which by this time just weren't funny anymore. The offensiveness reached an all-time peak when, at a concert in Miami, Jim allegedly whipped out his own penis for all to see. It is still unclear whether or not he actually exposed himself that fateful night, but it did lead to a highly publicized arrest and trial a year later. During the trial, Morrison would confess to having been "swept up in the moment" (leading him to destroy a city auditorium) and "most likely trying to wake up the audience from their obvious day-to-day stupor".
Following these massive failures in 1969, Jim decided to take the band back to basics. For the follow-up to the failure, Jim chose to take a humbler approach to his place in The Doors. He titled the album Morrison Hotel, and actually sat down with his fellow band members for the photo (although he was still the focal point of the picture). The album was, quite honestly, just another blues album recorded by a bunch of white guys, but it still managed to lift The Doors up from the dung-heap of The Soft Parade. Jim seemed to be getting back on track for the moment. He no longer required a bib at dinner times, and could even be seen entering the recording studio on two legs. The band and Morrison were ripe with a sense of optimism, which of course didn't last.
American Poet?
In addition to being a rock singer/lyricist and a sexy beast, Jim was a published poet. In order to distinguish the two, he had his poetic works published under his given name, James Douglas Richard Thomas Morrison. His works were given to some acclaim, though detractors were quick to point out that many were "eerily similar" to obscene graffiti written in the men's room of the Whiskey-a-Go-Go. Those that were not were merely abstract ramblings (and not particularly good ones either) on Jim's hate for his father. In some of his poems, he even insisted that all the assholes he had ever met in his life were simply doppelgängers of his father.
Collections of his early works include: Jim Morrison's Outspoken Limericks Vol I-III and Two Lords and a New Creature Walk Into a Bar. Following a peroid of 24/7 drunkenness, or, as Jim called it, "personal growth," Jim declared his preferred form of dirty limerick "Like, played out, man," and re-dedicated himself to the dirty haiku.
- I take you upstairs
- My room, a chamber of love
- Don't try to resist
In short, Jim was famous, and therefore his poems were soon as revered as verses from the Bible. However, Jim did later have his own Bible. The publication of Jim Morrison's Official Bible, which featured the original text of the Holy Book with annotations by Jim, was the best-selling book of 1975 in the Vatican City.
Death in Paris
After the Doors released their 1971 ska "comeback album", Los Angeles Inhabitant of the Female Gender, a depressed and worn-out Morrison flew to Paris with his girlfriend. He hoped to escape from the commotion of rock stardom by traveling to one of the most isolated and snobbish countries in the world, which for the first few weeks helped Jim in his writing and outlook on life. But, he soon felt the waves of shittiness that had always haunted him creep back in to his mind. Eventually, he was drinking the heaviest he ever had, and it seemed in many ways that he had totally given up. His girlfriend Pamela Courson often found him watching French children's networks on television. The great singer had truly sunk to his lowest point ever.
Sadly, after spending several months in this living hell, Morrison died while relaxing in a mud bath one evening. Because the inept French hospital that Jim's body was sent to had mysteriously lost its probing and poking instruments, an autopsy could not be performed. Because of this, Jim's death has forever been a topic of conversation amongst conceited rock fans touting their knowledge of Morrison. One prevalent theory is that he was attacked and murdered by a rubber duck as he reclined in the bath. Because rubber duck attacks do not result in any wounds, this theory is very probable and was widely believed after Jim's death. Later investigations have suggested that Morrison had fallen asleep in the bathtub after injecting himself with a quart of heroine, and that the rubber duck had been falsely accused. Tragically, it was put to death in 1973. And because of the death of Pamela Courson only a few years after Jim (overcome with grief, she tragically passed away while watching a children's network, in an attempt to be "re-united" with Jim), we may never know the truth behind Morrison's death.
Morrison was buried in Paris, mere feet from the resting place of Oscar Wilde. His corpse has spent the ensuing forty years listening to pithy witticisms and rejecting offers of necrophilic sodomy.
After his death, numerous witnesses claimed to see Morrison drinking prune juice smoothies at local health clubs. These rumors were dismissed after the public mutually agreed that no one as impossibly cool as Jim Morrison would ever drink a prune smoothie, and certainly not in public. However, empty smoothie cups are sometimes found in the vicinity of his grave, deepening the mystery and the myth of rock's greatest Caligulesque fame whore.
Drinking and drug use
Morrison's legacy was built not only on his singing, but also on his heavy use of drugs and alcohol, as mentioned earlier. It is said that Jim snuck his first beer from the hand of his unconscious father at age nine. Because of the "yummy taste" it provided, Jim developed an interest in the drink. He started drinking seriously later, mainly at parties in order to fit in with the crowd, but soon became known in his high school class for his heavy drinking and subsequent fantastic journeys through the town on the back of a nonexistent horse. Alcohol remained Jim's source of
destructiveness inspiration for the rest of his life.
Jim did not often drink with the other members of The Doors, but preferred the company of non-musicians while drunk so that he could go on rants about music and composing and pretend he knew what he was talking about. Alcohol is also said to have been the death of Morrison. It is very possible that on that fateful night in the bathtub, Jim fell asleep and was pulled under the water by a vicious, bloodthirsty Alcohol Monster. His girlfriend has confirmed this theory, but that is most likely because she would have been the one who let the Monster enter the apartment in the first place.
As if that wasn't cool enough, Jim also managed to consume about a fifth of the world's supply of psychedelic drugs during the early and mid '60s. He initially was interested in tapping into the deep recesses of the mind and expanding human consciousness, but eventually just wanted to "watch the pretty colors" again and again. His preferred drug during the '60s was LSD on a sugar cube, which he licked away over the course of ten minutes rather than just eating it. By the end of the '60s, Jim's body was like a sponge that held large amounts of drug residue. Even Mick Jagger was somewhat amazed, a harrowing thing to consider.
"It all comes down to whether or not you truly believe in Jim's cosmic energies, you know? Sure, you can buy into the propaganda, and agree with all the sickening lies, but by doing so, you are disgracing that man's life! Because he is still alive."
There have been many fans who, following Morrison's death, simply did not buy into the fact that he was really dead. Many of these crazies also believed that Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin, and Elvis Presley still roamed the Earth, and were probably just trying to increase their chances of "sightings". One of the foremost believers in the "Jim is alive and shall return" theory is Ray Mazarek himself, who immediately after the announcement of Morrison's death simply smiled, shook his head, lit a cigarette, and murmured, "That tricky bastard" before chuckling and walking away. He refused to attend Morrison's funeral, calling it a hoax, and to this day has taken to traveling the country to spread the word about what "really" happened to Jim.
Besides the Alcohol Monster and rubber duck theories, some believe that Jim was actually an alien and was brought back to his home planet on that night, Planet Ahyuiogk 12. These people are called Scientolo-Morrisonians, and are incredibly vicious, bloodthirsty people.
Morrison is now considered one of the most enduring symbols of the 1960s, and of classic rock. Many teenagers, however, do not have the slightest idea of who he is, a wide-ranging problem that record companies everywhere are fervently trying to fix. His albums with the Doors have sold millions worldwide, and his poetry has sold over a hundred small, obscure pamphlets worth of writing. His popularity is so strong that some people base hairstyle, clothing, and drinking preferences based solely on what Jim Morrison is known to have worn/drank/snorted, etc. Nowadays, many aging hippies find great pleasure in bringing up Morrison in casual conversation, and take to boasting about their extensive Jim Morrison hardcover poetry collection, their vinyl Doors' records, and their autographed Ray Manzarek keyboard cleaning fluid.
Some notable researchers argue that Jim would not have been able to cope with this sort of 21st century bullshit had he lived, and that his "death" was actually inevitable. Some of those who knew/drank with Jim have their own points about the man's legacy and greatness, such as his passion for
making bad life choices living on the edge and being an asshole "straddling the divide between life and death". Numerous monuments and murals have been erected in his honor, and his hairy chest will forever be adored by a great number of people.

Catcher Kurt Suzuki returning to A's from Nats
The Oakland Athletics acquired catcher Kurt Suzuki from the Washington Nationals on Friday.
The move boosts an injury situation at the position, bringing back a former fan favorite just more than a year after trading him.
The A's are sending Class A starter Dakota Bacus to the Nationals in the swap, while Washington is paying $995,000 to Oakland as its portion remaining on Suzuki's 2013 salary.
He left Chicago where the Nationals were playing and was set to join Oakland in Baltimore for a weekend series with the Orioles.
''It feels good,'' Suzuki said in the A's clubhouse. ''I'm shocked to say the least. I mean I couldn't be happier to come back where it all started and help this team get into the playoffs.''
He did, however, like playing in Washington. That made leaving a little bit more difficult.
''It's bittersweet,'' Suzuki said. ''I wouldn't say glad for a change of scenery. I enjoyed my time there. Send to me to a place with a chance to win, and I'm all in.''
The defending AL West champion A's began the day 2 1/2 games back of Texas in the division race.
Washington didn't intend on using Suzuki much down the stretch.
''With a healthy Wilson Ramos ... playing fairly well, it was going to cut into Suzuki's playing time,'' manager Davey Johnson said in Kansas City. ''(Suzuki) is a No. 1 catcher. He needs an opportunity to play every day, and they really have a need in Oakland.''
Selected by the A's in the second round of the 2004 draft, Suzuki spent parts of the past two seasons with Washington after six in Oakland. He's batting .222 with three homers and 25 RBIs in 79 games.
Suzuki, originally traded to the Nationals on Aug. 3, 2012, fills a need for the pennant race.
John Jaso has a concussion and Derek Norris broke his left big toe Tuesday, and was placed on the 15-day disabled list Friday. The move is retroactive to Wednesday.
''He's terrific,'' A's manager Bob Melvin said of Suzuki. ''The tough part about replacing a catcher as far along as the season we are, is the transition period with the pitchers.
''So, this one is an easy one. He's knows most of our guys - a team leader, always has been. I don't know if the front office could get a better guy for us.''
Nationals pitcher Jordan Zimmermann said, ''He was a good teammate, a great catcher and I wish him the best. Not having him around is going to be tough.''
Suzuki is expected to start for Oakland on Saturday.
Norris was batting .232 with eight homers and 26 RBIs. Jaso could miss the remainder of the season with lingering concussion symptoms. He took a ball off his mask July 24 at Houston and complained of a headache.
Initially, Jaso was placed on the seven-day concussion list the following day, then transferred to the 15-day disabled list on Aug. 8.
Pittsburgh-based concussion expert Dr. Micky Collins doesn't expect the concussion to end his career. Jaso is batting .271 with three homers and 21 RBIs in 70 games.
The San Francisco Chronicle first reported the Suzuki trade.
AP Sports Writers Dave Skretta in Kansas City, Mo., and Dave Ginsburg in Baltimore contributed to this story.

ng_atmllc — ATM LLC netgraph node type
#include <netgraph/ng_atmllc.h>
The atmllc node type translates frames in to and out of ATM LLC encapsulation, as specified by RFC 1483. In LLC encapsulation the protocol of a given protocol data unit (PDU) is specified by an IEEE 802.2 LLC header, possibly followed by an IEEE 802.1a SubNetwork Attachment Point (SNAP) header. This node currently handles the Ethernet and FDDI protocols. The node transmits and receives ATM PDUs on the atm hook. Received PDUs are decoded and forwarded to the ether or fddi hooks as appropriate. Data received on the ether or fddi hooks are assumed to be full Ethernet or FDDI packets as appropriate and are encapsulated into a PDU and transmitted via the atm hook.
This node type supports the following hooks: atm ATM connection. Typically, this hook would be connected to a ng_atm(4) node, which handles transmission of ATM PDUs over an ATM device. ether Ethernet connection. This hook sends and receives Ethernet frames. This would normally be connected to an ng_eiface(4) node if in use. fddi FDDI connection. This hook sends and receives FDDI frames.
This node type supports the generic control messages.
This node shuts down upon receipt of a NGM_SHUTDOWN control message, or when all hooks have been disconnected.

Sat on top of a mountain in Chile is the world's most powerful digital camera. Known as the Dark Energy Camera, it's recently been fired up to image the night sky, in an attempt to find the exotic stuff that gets all physicists excited. These are the first images it's produced. And they're magnificent.
The camera, which took eight years to plan and construct, boasts a sensor packed with 570 megapixels assembled from 62 charged-coupled devices to soak up light that's travelled millions of lightyears. These first images were captured just days ago, on the evening of the 12th September.
Pictured above is the center of the globular star cluster 47 Tucanae, which lies about 17,000 light years from Earth, while below is a close-up of the barred spiral galaxy NGC 1365, in the Fornax cluster of galaxies, which lies about 60 million light years from Earth.
These images don't offer much insight into the origins of dark energy, but in the long term the folks at Fermilab, who run the camera, hope that will change. For now, though, these images are sure as hell pretty. [Fermilab]

Welcome to the TOWN OF SOUTH BRISTOL, MAINE
South Bristol is a town in Lincoln County, Maine, United States. The population was 897 at the 2000 census. A fishing and resort area, South Bristol includes the villages of Walpole and Christmas Cove, the latter at Rutherford Island. The town has three nature preserves.
This was once territory of the Wawenock (or more precisely Walinakiak, meaning "People of the Bays") Abenaki Indians, who traveled in canoes to hunt for fish, shellfish, seals and seafowl. In 1614, Captain John Smith explored the coast, and is said to have named Christmas Cove when he visited it on Christmas Day. The land was subsequently part of the Pemaquid Patent, granted by the Plymouth Council for New England in 1631 to Robert Aldsworth and Gyles Elbridge, merchants from Bristol, England, from which the town derives its name. [1]
A palisade fort and settlement were built on the adjacent Pemaquid Peninsula. Between 1630 and 1650, the area was the center forfur trading in Maine. It was attacked and rebuilt repeatedly during the French and Indian Wars, with the final two attacks occurring in 1747 at Fort Frederick. In 1765, Bristol was incorporated as a town, with South Bristol its western portion. [1] On March 26, 1915, South Bristol was set off and incorporated as a separate town. [2]
In the 1800s, the village of Walpole was noted for brickmaking and ice harvesting. Brickyards along the Damariscotta River supplied many of the bricks used to build Boston's Back Bay neighborhood. The ice business faded with the advent of refrigeration, but the Thompson Ice House, established in 1826, is now preserved as the Thompson Ice Harvesting Museum. Shipbuilding has remained important, with schooners, fishing trawlers, lobster boats and yachts constructed at the town. [3] The Hudson River Sloop Clearwaterwas built here in 1968. Other industries in South Bristol are fishing, lobstering, clamming, aquaculture and tourism. [4]
The peninsula and Rutherford Island are connected by a swing bridge, one of only two in Maine, which spans "The Gut." For well over a century, Rutherford Island in particular has been a vacation destination for families from Massachusetts, Connecticut, New York and New Jersey. Many homes on the island are owned by these families. [5]

Coming or Going?
When we rub two sticks together that produces a fire that will eventually cease. However, the fire doesn't come from anywhere when it starts to burn the sticks, and it doesn't go anywhere when it dies out. Fire is empty of coming and going.
Similarly, ignorance--clinging to the belief in a self, the mental afflictions, or suffering--does not come from anywhere and does not go anywhere.
We can apply this to our dreams: whatever appears in dreams, be it happiness or suffering, does not come from anywhere and it does not go anywhere.
All phenomena are empty of coming and going.

From Fedora Project Wiki
This test case tests the functionality of the ABRT command line interface.
How to test
- After running previous ABRT test cases you probably have a bunch of crash reports in cache. If not do some crashing:
kill -SIGSEGV (pid)
- First investigate them via abrt-gui — which packages crashed, when, version, etc.
- Check that /etc/abrt/plugins/Bugzilla.conf and ~/.abrt/Bugzilla.conf does not contain login and password. ~/.abrt/Bugzilla.conf might not even exist if you didn't create it.
- Run
abrt-cli --get-list-fullin terminal to show all crashes.
- Run
abrt-cli --get-listto show unreported crashes.
- Try crash reporting: run
abrt-cli --report <uuid>to report a crash using its UUID.
- ABRT analyzes the crash and creates a report about it. This might take a while. When the report is ready, abrt-cli opens text editor with the content of the report. You can see what is being reported, and you can fill in instructions on how to reproduce the crash and other comments. When you are done with the report, save your changes and close the editor.
- You will be asked if you want to report using some reporter plugin. Respond Y for Bugzilla reporter, and N to skip reporting using Logger.
- When reporting via Bugzilla plugin, abrt-cli should ask for login and password.
- Create ~/.abrt/Bugzilla.conf:
- Try the crash reporting again, this time using
abrt-cli --report @<x>to report a crash using its ordinal number <x>. This time abrt-cli takes your login and password from the configuration file instead of asking you.
- Run
abrt-cli --report-always <uuid-or-@x>to report the crash without confirming, using all reporters associated with the crash.
- Run
abrt-cli --delete <uuid-or-@x>to delete item with chosen UUID or ordinal number
Expected Results
- Option --get-list-full shows all crashes
- Option --get-list shows all not-yet-reported crashes
- Option --report shows crash report and asks for confirmation before sending it
- Option --report-always sends crash report
- Option --delete deletes crash
