The Red Sox began the season with not one but two proven closers in their bullpen in Joel Hanrahan and Andrew Bailey, but five weeks into the season, both have already hit the disabled list. Now it appears that manager John Farrell will have to dig a little deeper into his depleted bullpen to find a ninth inning man, as he has designated Junichi Tazawa his likely go-to guy.
That decision has come about after a particularly rough night. Hours after Bailey was placed on the DL due to a biceps strain on Monday, Hanrahan blew a save opportunity in that night's game against the Twins, and after facing two more batters, left with a forearm strain. The Red Sox won in 11 innings thanks to a walkoff double by Stephen Drew, but that didn't magically heal Hanrahan, who underwent an MRI on Tuesday and was placed on the DL for his second stint of the season. He was out from April 14 through April 30 due to a right hamstring strain, and had made just three appearances before returning from whence he came.
The injuries have set up an opportunity for Tazawa to show what he can do in the role. Since returning to the majors last year following a protracted comeback from April 2010 Tommy John surgery, the 27-year-old righty has been dominant, with a 1.70 ERA and 9.7 strikeouts per nine — against just 1.2 walks — in 58 1/3 innings. Throwing primarily a four-seam fastball that averages 94.6 mph, a splitter that averages 89.0 mph (mostly against lefties), and a curve, he has been effective against hitters on both sides of the plate. Righties have hit .229/.270/.347 in 127 PA in that span, lefties .219/.240/.302 in 100 PA.
Bailey, you may recall, was supposed to be Boston's closer last year after being acquired in a December 2011 deal with the A's — the one that cost them Josh Reddick — but he didn't make his season debut until Aug. 14 due to an injury to the ulnar collateral ligament of his right thumb. While he notched six saves late in the year, he also blew two ninth-inning opportunities and finished with a swollen 7.04 ERA in 15 1/3 innings. Thus he completed his third straight year with less than 50 major league innings due to injuries, a frustrating trend that has kept him from building on the 2009 AL Rookie of the Year award he won with Oakland.
Because of that shaky track record, Red Sox general manager Ben Cherington made a deal to acquire Hanrahan from the Pirates in December 2012. Hanrahan was almost instantly was designated the closer to head off any potential controversy. He converted his first three save opportunities in early April, but after yielding two homers and five runs in a blown save against the Orioles on April 10, he faced just two more batters, walking a pair of Rays on April 13, before hitting the DL with the hamstring injury. That opened the door for Bailey, who after blowing his first save chance on April 15, managed to garner the win nonetheless, and then converted five straight save chances before his biceps injury left him unavailable and forced him to hand the baton back to Hanrahan.Steven Wright Alfredo Aceves

Free-agent power forward Reggie Evans stopped by the pre-draft camp in Orlando and said he would entertain an offer from the Knicks on July 1st.
The Knicks tried to complete a deal for Evans, but Seattle elected to trade him to Denver in a four-way deal.
"If they contacted me, my ears would be open," Evans said. "I was aware (of their interest). It's always good when a team wants you. I really appreciated it."
taken from the New York Post
Reggie Evans would be great for us. He'd give us rebounding and toughness much like Oakley back in the day. So what if he grabbed Kaman's nuts haha. The only thing that I'm not fond of is our log at PF you have Frye, Lee, Rose and Taylor. Taylor is as good as gone. but sign Evans and its now Frye, Lee, Rose & Evans. Rose would sit the bench. and then you still have a clogged rotation. and if we are going to get any PF I kinda rather have a shotblocking one...
Isiah has some work to do. and with the draft approaching I rather just get a cheap rookie say a Josh Booner or Hilton Amstrong to be our PF dirty man.

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. - A state appeals court Friday overturned a $10 million verdict against the University of Central Florida's Athletics Association, which a jury found liable for the March 2008 death of a football player whose distress was ignored and who was prevented from receiving aid.
The Fifth District Court of Appeals found the UCF Athletics Association (UCFAA) was entitled to the same sovereign immunity that the university and other state agencies get -- meaning damages cannot exceed $200,000.
[READ: Plancher family response]
Orange Circuit Judge Robert Evans had ruled the association did not deserve that immunity because it was not sufficiently controlled by the university.
But the three-judge appellate panel said that was incorrect -- that the composition of the UCFAA board, its articles of incorporation and other factors prove it was, indeed, an extension of UCF.
On March 18, 2008, Ereck Plancher collapsed and died during a football practice after participating in a series of condition drills.
"Ereck remains in our thoughts, and we honor his memory as part of our football program," UCF spokesperson Grant Heston wrote in a statement. "The ruling about sovereign immunity confirms our long-held position about this important issue, and we are pleased with the decision."
The appellate court noted it was not deciding whether UCFAA was liable for causing Plancher's death -- something the jury clearly found in the July 2011 verdict -- but, rather, whether damages should be capped at $200,000.
"It was both the coaching staff's actions and inactions that led to the tragic death of Ereck Plancher," one of the appellate judges, Wendy Berger, wrote in her section of the 28-page opinion. "It is difficult to comprehend how one human being can ignore another in obvious distress or prevent someone else from offering aid to one in distress, but, inexplicably, that is what happened here."
While sovereign immunity limits damages to $200,000, a claims bill could be filed in the legislature that, if enacted, would allow for greater amounts of compensation.
Because the award was reduced to $200,000 -- far below the $4.75 million the Plancher family demanded in a rejected pretrial settlement -- the appellate court separately found UCF did not have to pay $2.4 million in the Planchers' attorneys fees and costs.
Plancher's attorney released a statement on Friday afternoon saying they will "continue to seek justice" at the Supreme Court of Florida.

American Psycho v. American Psycho: Bret Easton Ellis Continues Feud Against Nikki Finke
Bret Easton Ellis, who drew rage-blogger Nikki Finke's wrath after I alerted her to a Twitter post he wrote outing her as a resident of his West Hollywood apartment building—which post in turn led me to find a unit in his building that had been recently purchased by Finke's employer, Penske Media—is continuing his hilarious pushback against the Hollywood fearmonger. Today, he told the Hollywood Reporter that her behavior is "harassing and unacceptable" and lambasted the "Hollywood morons who think they have to live in Nikki Finke's French Royal Court and be completely secretive." He also accused her, again on Twitter, of sending "hectoring, threatening, vaguely litigious e-mails" to her building's management.

Obviously because of space, some of my original letter was cut; here is the majority of what was edited out for the newspaper edition:
Has our world become so big-headed that all man has to do is write a single law into the books and as a result all of our open wilderness is gone tomorrow? Or can we look past that simple -- yet all-too-realistic -- analogy, and realize that our right to live is no more valid than that of other species? That man, that "human beings," are really no different than the bird, the snake, the lizard, or the skunk? Sure, we may eat and move our bodies differently; but do these creatures not have unique behaviors and ways of communicating that are "just" as valid?
And is it not ironic that while we are overly-developing in the name of progress, what we are really doing is destroying vital elements to not only the food chain, but also to the sustainability of life as we know it? "Everything" in biodiversity is connected; everything from the richest soil found anywhere (this valley) to the plants, grass and flowers growing in that soil to the insects who rely on and help nourish it all every day to the atmosphere which helps everything grow (and yet is being threatened by human activity) to the food which plants produce for us as a result of this amazing -- and all-too-vital -- process. And the more of this we destroy, the more of our future goes with it.
It is assumed that the addition of housing over the farm on Grant Road is progress, and that as a result of this progress we will be better off in the long-term.
Nothing could be further from the truth.

New report surfaces in disappearance of Tammy Salle
BUTTE, Mont. - NBC Montana first told you when Tammy Salle's family made the decision to bring in a nonprofit search team from New Mexico, to help search the Butte-Silver Bow landfill for her remains.
Now new details are surfacing about that search team's report that was sent to the family.
In the six-page document written by K-9 Forensic Specialist Wendy Kessinger, Kessinger says her dogs found evidence of human remains.
But the report continues on making claims that the Anaconda Police Department contaminated the scene with a bulldozer and lost the evidence in the rubble.
State investigators say police did everything they could that was possible. But Tammy Salle's family isn't satisfied.
"We feel if they we're overwhelmed or could not do it then they should have brought in some people that could, I don't want this swept under the rug I want to find my sister," said Christina Hagens, Tammy Salle's sister.
NBC Montana put in a few calls to the Anaconda Police Department but they kept telling us to speak with state investigators, and that it was out of their hands.
We headed to Helena and visited the state investigators at the Montana Department of Justice.
"We informed them after the landfill search was discontinued that we we're going to continue with the investigation, and our investigators are working very hard to try and locate Tammy and give the family closure, that's very important to them," said John Strandell, Investigations Bureau Chief for the Montana Department of Justice.
The family says they plan on bringing the cadaver dogs back to Montana within the next month to continue the search for Tammy Salle.

Notes: Cameron offers perspective
Center fielder happy to be healthy enough to play in NLDS
By Lyle Spencer / MLB.com
"We talked at length about Khalil," Bochy said of his shortstop, who hasn't started a game since Aug. 17 after suffering a ligament tear in his left middle finger. "Blum has really done a great job. He's been playing well down the stretch here in September. He's had success off of Suppan, and Khalil has not gotten a lot of playing time."Khalil will admit that he's not going to be real comfortable up there at the plate, even though he's to the point now where he can take a pretty good swing. And I don't think it would be fair to the kid to throw him in there at this point." Game 4 starter up in air: Bochy also declined to name a starter for Game 4, electing to wait to see how Game 3 plays out. Jake Peavy, who lost Game 1 to Chris Carpenter, is an option, along with former Cardinal Woody Williams.
"At this point, we'll use all of them today if we have to," Bochy said of his pitchers. "We'll get through this game, and hopefully get a win, and we'll announce it after the game."
Confidence game: From Brian Giles' perspective, it's all about attitude. When the Padres are feeling good about themselves, they're dangerous. When they're not, they're vulnerable."This game's all about confidence," Giles said. "They get a great pitching performance from Carpenter in Game 1 and score some runs. They get great pitching again and shut us out in Game 2. They're a confident bunch now. It's up to us to do something about that. "All through September, when we were winning big games, we were extremely confident that we would find a way. There were several different points where we could have packed it in, but this team responded. We know what we have to do. We just have to go out and execute." Give a guy a break: First baseman Adrian Gonzalez thinks he knows what the Padres need to get rolling -- a little kiss on the cheek from Lady Luck. "I know for a fact we can come back and win this series," Gonzalez said. "Hopefully, we catch the breaks now, get a few bloopers and dribblers to find holes. Then it's a different game. We haven't been getting any of those. We're due." Like Roberts, Gonzalez will be looking for an early breakthrough against Suppan, breaks or no breaks. With the season on the line, he's not thrilled about dealing with more of the shadows that made it difficult on hitters in the late innings at PETCO Park. It will be more of the same at Busch, where the infield was covered in shadows in the late afternoon Friday. "With these early games, the shadows in the late innings can make it really difficult," Gonzalez said. "Late in the game, I could see that the pitch was a curveball, but I couldn't pick up the distance and misjudged the ball. "Scoring some early runs, that's what we need to do."

Today, we grade and discuss our own "Rookie of the Year" DeMar DeRozan.
DeMar DeRozan
2009-10 Statistics
Today, we grade and discuss our own "Rookie of the Year" DeMar DeRozan.
DeMar DeRozan
2009-10 Statistics
I'll give him a C. He's right around where I expected him to be. He played hard all year but he still has a lot to learn.
Are we too quick to give up on DeMar just yet? I know alot of Raptors fan have already written him off, but are we being too premature thinking that way?
I'm not writing him off. I'm just not giving him a wonderful grade because he didn't do anything worthy of one. I've said in here a few times that I believe he will be much improved next year.
B- for me. Decent rookie campaign, far from spectacular but used the minutes he got well. Nobody ran a play for him and he was often ignored. Probably needed to be more selfish if he wanted some rookie honours but he stuck to the team-game and listened to the coaches.
I gave him a C+, not because I am writing him off but because he didn't improve too much during this season. I expect him to have a busy summer, to bulk up a little bit and came back in training camp more confident, playing as he did in the last game of the 2009-10 season.
i think Demar gets a b+. Going into the season, the best case scenario was that he broke out in the nba. that wasn't likely on team with 4 starters who dominate the ball.
he's put up the same numbers as Kobe and Granger in their rookie years, at the same age.
If he builds his strength to Sonny's level this summer and develops a better handle on the ball, I see no reason as to why he can't be a dominate 2 man in the league. I wouldn't trade him for anything shy of an allstar pg or sf at this point.
I give him a B,
He didn't have any plays ran for him, and that is a direct result of not enough ball to go around.
I believe that this offseason will work wonders on his game, he know know what he needs to work on during the summer and has spent a whole year playing against some of the best shooting guards in the league.
I think we will see him start to show his true colours near the all star week next season, or in the beginning of his third season.
But from what we have seen so far, he is extremely athletic, wants to learn and work on his game, and has showed a lot of improvement since the beginning of the season.
I gave him a C, didn't excite but didn't dissapoint either. I don't think he will ever be an AllStar but on a level just below that, maybe a Caron Butler type.
C+. Anyone who has trouble taking a player off the bounce as much as he has doesn't get a B until he improves in that area.
I have not given up on the rookie. I think that a real hard and good offseason, working with Sonny, could do wonders. He just needs to tighten up his dribble, and get faster laterally so he can keep players in front of him.
A fair to good start. If he can improve his 3pt. shot and use his games over the summer to focus on defense, this would be good. He is young and has much upside I believe.
B- for me
he played hard, one of the only Raps to attack the rim
if it werent for him and Weems we basicly would have no Sick-Wickity-Nasty plays
I think next year (with Bosh gone) he'll have a great year
he need to tighten the dribble and the 3
this year he basicly met expectations. A raw rook, with good flashes.
He's a keeper
"DeRazor" gets a B- from me. Considering he started almost the whole season versus guys much stronger and more skilled. He's got a long way to go but as most people agree, he's got plenty of potential. This city is way too quick to write players/teams/coaches/management off. Most of the good teams in the Association have had their core together a few years and have taken their lumps. Another year or two with some key additions/subtractions and they'll be back in business. I hope DeMar pans out and is still here producing at a high clip.
Just one year away... Bruno is almost here!
His BPG and SPG are the only two stats I am really disappointed in. They are both WAY to low for a player with his athleticism playing those kind of minutes. Show lack of effort (knowledge?) on the defensive end. Hopefully those will be improved upon next year
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Once you reach Max Level, you stop leveling
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Outside of that I can't say I expected anything special from DeRozan this season. He did a good job and I'm interested to see with some work this summer how he approaches his sophomore season.
DeMar took almost an entire college season to "get it" on that level. The NBA game if far more complex and everything happens at a faster pace. It is only natural that he would not take the league by storm given his history. On the plus side, history says that once he "gets it" he's able to take over games and do a hell of a lot of damage. Two to three more years and he'll be the best defender on the team while being able to beat opponents off the dribble and create his own and for others. I think his shot is going to get better and better as well. All thanks to his crazy work regime and determination. Book it!

The pilots' strike in Air India is not just another whimsical act intended to make a loss-making airline bleed further. It is the culmination of a bad marriage between Air India and Indian Airlines and the original culprit was former Civil Aviation Minister Praful Patel, who pushed the merger through without resolving HR issues between employees of the two merging entities. One may or may not agree with Air India pilots who say their cadre should be favoured for training on the new Boeing Dreamliners over pilots from Indian Airlines, but in the absence of any assurance on career prospects, they are right to seek a resolution of the issue before it becomes unsolvable. The strike is not a sign of union recalcitrance, but an act of frustration against a callous management that thinks such issues can be brushed under the carpet indefinitely. An issue that should have been sorted out before the merger is now having to be resolved through a strike. The Air India management is clearly not fit to run the airline.

Air India pilots should know better than to call in sick without prior warning. It's unprofessional. Already, the image of the airline has hit a low with fliers, lenders and everyone else; this stri ke will re-inforce that negative view.Plus, it will do very little to get the pilots' grievances addressed because management will be in a belligerent mood and unwilling to negotiate. Passengers are also unlikely to feel charitable towards the pilots, especially if they are directly affected by this flash strike.Quite a few of them are likely to decide never to fly with the airline again to avoid any last-minute problems (why choose an airline whose pilots might go on strike without any prior warning?). That will hit revenues of the airline – and eventually the pilots' future salaries.And let's face it, these employees are still lucky that they have their jobs because the government is willing to bailout a financially crippled Air India. Their counterparts at at least one private-sector airline are not so lucky. Think again, AI pilots.

Name 5 moments in the story that either made you jump out of your seats or captivated your imagination the most or just made you love the story even more than before, mine are, in no particular order:
1. Sage Naruto saying "Don't FUKK with me" and hurling a Rasen Shuriken at Pain.
2. Sasuke's words to Orochimaru before he fought the white snake, he pretty much summed up his own thoughts on Orochimaru's pathetic life, my favourite part:
"Even though the snake dreams of soaring through the sky, it is forever doomed to crawl on its belly. You wanted it so badly, you came after the fledgling in the nest..........but got targeted as the prey instead, by a HAWK flying high above".
I cannot describe the amount of epicness in that entire scene.
3. Orochimaru summoning the Shodaime and Nidaime Hokage, and the fight that followed after. Furthermore, the part where Orochimaru removed his face to reveal his true self, and Sarutobi asking him who he was before realising Orochimaru had mastered stealing people's bodies and prolonging his life. So good!
4. Sasuke admitting that Naruto was his best friend. And later in that fight, when he acknowledged Naruto's strength and stated the reason behind it: "It's because you know the same pain of loneliness as I do; that pain is what makes people strong."
5. When the mask was finally shattered and the man behind it was revealed, the greatest Uchiha mastermind in all of history was a good natured, clumsy boy from the Hidden Leaf who resembled our Naruto in many ways. The reason behind his means was even more badass to me. That hope is just an illusion created from the desperation of clinging on to ones existence in this pitiful world that holds nothing but lies and mindless suffering.
What are yours?

Schierholtz hopeful Cubs are long-term fit
By Joey Nowak / MLB.com
CHICAGO -- With the departure of plenty of notable names -- most recently David DeJesus -- fellow outfielder Nate Schierholtz said on Monday that he'd like to be a part of the Cubs' future. If he can continue to produce consistently, the feeling would most surely be mutual.
The right fielder has been a consistent contributor, after serving mostly in a utility/reserve role in San Francisco and Philadelphia for the first six years of his career, and he's taken his numbers to new heights. With 105 games under his belt -- he still gets the bulk of his at-bats against right-handers -- Schierholtz has 18 homers (his previous career-high was 9), 96 hits (previous high was 93) and 58 RBIs (previous high was 41). His .277 average is six points above his career mark.
"That was the way I got out of San Francisco," Schierholtz said. "I had the confidence that if I went somewhere with a shot to play at least almost every day, I'd be able to put up better numbers than I had. That's my goal, just to prove I can play every day."
Schierholtz went deep twice in the Cubs' 11-1 rout of the Nationals on Monday, driving in a career-high six runs.
The Cubs' outfield prospect pipeline is well-stocked -- two of their top three prospects, Albert Almora and Jorge Soler, are outfielders -- but they're short on veterans since DeJesus and Alfonso Soriano were traded away this summer. With guys like Brian Bogusevic and Ryan Sweeney expected to get looks, Schierholtz could be a presence the Cubs could count on possibly beyond this season.
"I'd like to be a part of the future here," Schierholtz said of the passing of the non-waiver Trade Deadline. "And I'm happy I'm not out of here."
Castro slides down to eighth in Cubs' order
CHICAGO -- In a season full of lineup switches and swaps, Starlin Castro found himself in yet another unfamiliar spot on Tuesday night.
The Cubs shortstop, who hit primarily second or third over the course of his two All-Star campaigns in 2011 and 2012, was slotted into the No. 8 spot against the Nationals and right-hander Dan Haren on Tuesday.
It was the seventh different place in the order this season; he's never batted fourth or ninth, and has spent the most time in the No. 2 spot (79 games). But manager Dale Sveum said it was more a product of where the other eight batters fit, rather than where Castro deserves to be.
"It's just gotten to the point where [Donnie Murphy's] obviously doing his thing, [Darwin Barney], I really like the way he's been handling the bat and doing things and put him in the two-hole. Right now, obviously, things aren't going really well [for Castro] swinging the bat.
"[Welington Castillo's] been having great at-bats. Obviously getting [Brian Bogusevic's] left-handed bat in there, you don't want to put that in the eight-hole. So it's just one of those things right now, where it's just the only fit."
Castro is a career .285 hitter who's batted just .242 this year in his least productive season since he debuted in 2010. In each of his previous three seasons, he hit at least .283.
Rizzo not worried about slow start to August
CHICAGO -- Anthony Rizzo returned to the Cubs' lineup on Tuesday with every intention of turning up his offensive production after a dismal start to the month of August.
The first baseman was held out Monday with illness -- he said he had a "terrible fever" and migraine headaches -- but was back to his regular No. 3 spot in the order for the second game of the series, facing Nats righty Dan Haren.
Rizzo has already set career highs in home runs (18) and RBIs (65) by virtue of the fact that he's played more games this season (122) than nearly his previous two combined (136).
But his production has tailed off since a powerful start (eight homers and 20 RBIs in April) and a good May (.295 average, two homers, 16 RBIs). Entering Tuesday, he was batting .150 in 16 August games with just five RBIs.
"It's just baseball," Rizzo said. "You feel good one day, you feel bad the next. It's just trying to find that even keel and stay consistent. It hasn't been the most consistent for me this year, but it is what it is. You've just got to keep going. It's not like I'm going to back down and not want to play anymore. You've just got to keep going and keep having fun with the game."
Manager Dale Sveum said it was fair to say Rizzo's season has been more of a "road bump" than a "setback" and that it's something plenty of young players experience over the course of their early career.
"They're all going to look back and want to throw one year out of their career and, unfortunately, it'll probably be this one [for Rizzo]," Sveum said. "These guys, they're young, and it's their second time around in the big leagues, their second year sometimes and it just takes some adjustments and some confidence, too. Confidence is obviously the key factor. The confidence is always going to show up on the field."
But when asked about pitchers making adjustments to pitch him inside, or having trouble with fastballs, Rizzo's response hardly lacked machismo.
"They're throwing balls down the middle, too," Rizzo said. "I'm just not hitting them the way I'm supposed to. It doesn't matter what the pitchers do; I'll never give them the credit that some of them deserve, because I know I can hit any pitch at any given time."

The Republican Agenda: Plenty of Partisanship, Thin on Jobs
Katie Grant, Daniel Reilly, 202-225-3130
It's clear from the list of bills that they claim create jobs actually have very little to do with jobs, and are more about advancing a partisan agenda:
- H.R. 910 Energy Tax Prevention Act
- H.R. 1229 Putting the Gulf of Mexico Back to Work Act
- H.R. 1230 Restarting American Offshore Leasing Now Act
- H.R. 1231 Reversing President Obama's Offshore Moratorium Act
- H.R. 2018 Clean Water Cooperative Federalism Act
- H.R. 1938 North American-Made Energy Security Act
There is a difference between a comprehensive jobs agenda and a set of partisan bills that mention "jobs" in their titles. It's time for Republicans to abandon their partisan agenda and work with Democrats on a bipartisan plan to promote job creation.
Democrats remain focused on the Make It In America agenda, a plan to support job creation by providing an encouraging environment for businesses to innovate and make products here in the U.S., which will help American families Make It In America. This agenda is one that both Democrats and Republicans can, and have, supported. And since the Republican agenda is so thin on jobs, we hope they will work with us on an agenda both parties can support to help get Americans back to work.

Getting It Together: A Gallery Of Celebrities That Went Crazy…Then Came Back To "Normal"
Celebrities That Stopped Being Crazy
All celebrities have some dash of crazy in them. It's an established fact. It's rare – almost impossible – for celebrities to be perfectly normal. But some are crazier than others. And when they are, we worry about them. However, some go alllll the way to Crazy Town, USA and make it back to the real world in one piece. Here are some celebrities that went crazy then returned to being somewhat normal.
Or as normal as possible for them.
Halle Berry – She went on that weird hit and run and had some issues after her divorces. But she seems fine now…right?
Brandy – After her own automobile accident Brandy fell off and had a mental meltdown. Now she's back and trying to get her music together.
Ron Artest – Yes, he's still elbowing people's faces off from time to time, but he's not running into the stands anymore and cracking necks. It's an improvement.
Drew Barrymore – She was an alcoholic toddler with a chemical imbalance. Now she's cute as hell and getting hitched.
Angelina Jolie – She was on drugs. She cut herself. She did most of the this stuff as a wild younger hot momma. Now she's an actual momma with responsibilities and all of that has ended…supposedly.

Eminem – Em OD'd and was making terrible music. Plus he was just all-out killing himself. Now he's a sober, happy daddy.

The findings are reported by researchers Teun Dekker, Irene Ibba, Purayil Siju, Marcus Stensmyr, and Bill S. Hansson of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences.
Most insects rely on their olfactory system to detect mates, food, and egg-laying sites. This also holds true for fruit flies in the genera Drosophila. Both the peripheral and the central olfactory systems have been mapped in detail in D. melanogaster, an important model organism for research. However, nine sibling species of D. melanogaster are less well characterized. One of these species, D. sechellia--as its name suggests, it is endemic to the Seychelles islands--relies exclusively on one fruit, called the morinda fruit, for egg-laying. This fruit, which smells of gorgonzola and pineapple, is toxic to, and shunned by, D. melanogaster and other sibling fruit fly species.
In their new work, the researchers show that the main cue used by D. sechellia when locating morinda fruit is methyl hexanoate (MeHex), which possesses a pineapple-like odor. The researchers found that olfactory hairs (sensilla) on the antenna that house receptor neurons specific to the MeHex odor have become three times more numerous, and one hundred times more sensitive, in D. sechellia than in the sibling species D. melanogaster. In parallel, a specific brain area (a so-called olfactory glomerulus) that receives input from the MeHex-specific neurons is significantly increased in size in D. sechellia. The researchers' findings indicate that the relative overexpression of MeHex-specific receptor neurons in D. sechellia compared to D. melanogaster has occurred at the expense of two other types of sensilla.
The work suggests that the evolution of a specialized olfactory system can occur during a limited evolutionary time span, and at several different levels of neural organization. More broadly speaking, the findings contribute to our understanding of the evolution of sensory systems and their adaptation to new conditions and resources.
The researchers include Teun Dekker, Irene Ibba, K.P. Siju, Marcus C. Stensmyr, and Bill S. Hansson of the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences in Alnarp, Sweden. This work was supported by an EU Marie Curie fellowship to T.D. and by a Swedish Research Council (VR) grant to B.S.H.

Hello, I have made an alternative session system. Instead of saving everything in one session file, save each window as a separate session file, analogous to vim and text files.
To use, download this file to your luakit config directory as session.lua. Install a json library; I use luajson installed through luarocks. Restart luakit and verify directory $XDG_DATA_HOME/luakit/sessions.d is created.
Commands (most of these take a session name as an argument),
:w - write current session to file, optional give a name to save as
:l - load a session, closes existing tabs in window
:m - merge a session into current; that is same as load but does not close existing tabs
:nl - load a session in a new window
:s - set new session name
:wq - write out and quit
:sname - show current session's name
ZZ - overloaded, does what's on the tin
The file format is plain json. The lua table is saved as is through a simple json.encode and includes history data. The name of the current session is stored in w.session. There is no automatic restore on start. Thanks to IsoLinCHiP from IRC for proofreading and suggesting a couple of changes.

This may sound really stupid.. but every now and then when I visit a webpage a download dialog comes up for "fastbutton" (developers.google.com gives this to me, among others). And just recently I came across one that tried to download "badge" (dreamincode.net gives this to me). I don't think I have anything too foreign in my *.lua files, just wondering if anyone else has come across this or visiting those sites gives the same result, or perhaps just know where it stems from? It's not a "problem", it's just annoying to keep having these download dialogs pop up.
Edit: Seems to be 'privoxy' related... using "no proxy" and doesn't happen, also doesn't happen with 'polipo'. Oh well.. trying to migrate away from 'privoxy' anyway towards caching. Happens in 'squid' too. Strange.

@fsckd: Really like the alternative session management.. thanks.
Edit: @fsckd: I know you said it's not supported right now but is automatic restore on start a possiblity or is that undesired? If possible, maybe if user saves a session as "default" (or "auto" or some other predetermined name) it will be loaded on start? Also, is there a "delete session" option I didn't notice or is that not implemented and manual file removal intervention required?
Edit2: luakit's "restart" command has problems with the alternate session.lua by attempting to call method 'error', etc. Just a heads up.
Last edited by milomouse (2012-12-10 15:31:39)
Thanks milomouse. I manually remove session files. There's no technical reason not to have a deletion command or restore on start of a default session.
I have never used the restart command. I will look into it, thanks.
Edit: restart has this code which obviously conflicts,
-- Save session.
local wins = {}
for _, w in pairs(window.bywidget) do table.insert(wins, w) end
luakit is saving the current state tot he session file and reloading it on restore. This does not fit with my alt sessions.
The solution I can think of is to rename the table to altsession and let luakit keep its session stuff. This would conflict with restoring a default session and as it is window session names would be lost.
Edit: Another solution, rename existing session.save and make a new session.save to write all browser state. Then restore can check for that, etc.

I am not sure if this has been addressed previously but at some pages when using follow I get this message,
Error: /usr/share/luakit/lib/follow.lua:617: 'TypeError' 'undefined' is not an object (evaluating 'head.appendChild')
and right below a stack backtrack is listed.
Also related to follow is that this afternoon when reading some of the entries of this thread (thanks for that helpful flashblock script!!) I used follow a couple of times and they were followed erroneously. That is, follow code was 30 and Luakit followed a 10 one :-?
Finally, is some sort of autosave already implemented? If not, are there plans for it to be introduced?
Before I forget, could someone hint me how to personalize the 'show in folder' in 'Downloads' for the download folder I have defined according the steps in the Wiki (the Arch one)? I have taken a look at download.lua and download_chrome.lua but I seem to not be able to figure it out there :s

Hi. I have a little problem with luakit, as normal user it doesn't connect to any page, as root, it works perfectly.
I installed it like shown in the wiki, through pacman, and copy config files with: cp -r $XDG_CONFIG_DIRS/luakit $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
I think this is not a Luakit problem, but i don't know what to do.
Can you use other browsers as your regular user? If not can you ping or curl websites/pages?
Resist the GNU world order.
Can you use other browsers as your regular user? If not can you ping or curl websites/pages?
I can use another browser without problems as regular user, firefox and chromium are working perfectly
You didn't happen to do the cp command as root (or with sudo) did you?
What do the following return:
echo $XDG_CONFIG_HOME
ls -l ~/.config/luakit/
Resist the GNU world order.
This is not the problem, even tried with a chmod -R 777 and nothing happens
I don't know why you tried that. But if you don't want to answer troubleshooting questions I'm not sure how you expect to be helped. I assume if you knew what the problem *was* you wouldn't have asked here.

Im not in my computer right now, so i can't answer your question. i'll paste the return of that command in a few hours.

All seems OK
Do you get any message output from luakit when you try to visit a page? You can check your xorg output/logs for this, or if you launch luakit from a terminal emulator the messages will show up there.

Nothing in Xorg logs, nothing in terminal... i don't understand
Luakit only shows:
Unable to load page
Problem occurred while loading the URL http://luakit.org/
Cannot connect to destination (luakit.org)

start in a term with 'luakit -vv' see if get some better output.
PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.
I could not find any information regarding this so forgive me if I am being trite. Is there any way/plan for syncing bookmarks I have in luakit with my Google account mirroring Chromes functionality?
For syncing, try the wiki.
I was wondering if anybody knew if luakit supports bookmarklets. And if it does, how to use it? I'm trying to use evernote's bookmarklet to clip webpages to my evernote notebook...

This is well described in the man page. Is there something there that isn't working as expected?

Is it? I couldn't find it... It describes well how to use bookmarks, however I've seen nothing specific about bookmarkLETs. Are they used in the same way as normal bookmarks?
Oops, sorry, I misread. I don't know what bookmarlets are. Luakit has quickmarks ... I don't know if that is similar.
EDIT: I just looked it up. Isn't that just a 'cutesy' name for a script? You can write (or download) your own userscripts and launch them with regular bookmark bindings.

Yes, it's kind of a "cutesy" name for a script. Basically, it sits as a bookmark until it is summoned! When the particular bookmarklet is activated, it executes a script on the current page (instead of taking the user to another page in the case of normal bookmarks).
As for luakit, I tried assigning it to a quickmark, and it works! Thanks for the tip!
For me, luakit is agonizingly slow at web browsing. The browser itself is fast, but loading pages takes forever. Chromium, on the other hand is fast at loading pages. I really like luakit's interface (or rather, lack of one) but slow page load is a real deal breaker for me. Anyone know of a solution?
mpnordland, more information would be needed. There should not be a difference. The only thing that comes to mind is if your network has ipv6 problems (this is fairly common and would make web page loading lag considerably) and chromium was set to use ipv4 only. To test this, disable ipv6 on your system and see if luakit works better.
Also, you can use wget/curl to download a web page or two, and see if they open quickly in luakit.
EDIT: fixed typo (ipv5 -> ipv4)

Hi, I can't make flash-plugin work in Luakit (nor in any other minimal Webkit browsers: tried with DWB, Jumanji & Uzbl).
It works flawlessly with Firefox (& Conkeror) and Chromium.
I'm on Sabayon AMD64 and the plugin version (adobe-flash-184.108.40.2068) is located at /usr/lib64/nsbrowser/plugins/libflashplayer.so
Versions: luakit-2012.09.13_p1, webkit-gtk-1.8.3-r300.
I googled a lot but found no references if/where I should create a symlink to make it work.
Any ideas?
Thank's in advance.
p.s.: sorry if I am in the wrong forum, I switched my box few months ago but still think Arch community is the best
Plugins are enabled and html5 works.
Solved: actually Flash was working, only missed some functionality on few sites, depending on the version.
