HBT: Nats' Strasburg upset about being shut down
Adam Kilgore of the Washington Post provides the quote:
?I don?t know if I?m ever going to accept it, to be honest,? Strasburg said Saturday. ?It?s something that I?m not happy about at all. That?s not why I play the game. I play the game to be a good teammate and win. You don?t grow up dreaming out playing in the big leagues to get shut down when the games start to matter. It?s going to be a tough one to swallow.?
Strasburg admitted he was hoping the Nats would adjust their plan as the summer went on, especially as the team?s overall record improved. But general manager Mike Rizzo did not budge.
?I was always thinking things were going to change,? concluded the 24-year-old right-hander in his chat with reporters on Saturday afternoon. ?But this is a decision they made well before the start of the year. I play for the Washington Nationals. I play to help this team win games. I?m not the one making the calls.?
It?s the kind of attitude you?d expect from an ace. And he should be a force to reckon with in 2013.

We Have All Become Parallel Gamers
If you really want to become a hated figure in GamerVille, predict the doom of single player games. This is territory that Frank Gibeau from Electronic Arts inadvertently strayed into this week when he declared that he now only commissions games that connect to the cloud. The gaming press in general read this as EA saying it would no longer make single player games like Mass Effect, and went crazy. And yet Gibeau is right. Single player gaming all by itself is slowly slipping into the past, to be replaced by something else. Not some half-dreamed half-TED-talk fueled craziness about constant gaming in the future instead of life, but something connected nonetheless. Something hard to pin down, but which is definitely real. Some sort of ambient connection which brings the game together for players and makes it just that little bit more of a world. In two words: parallel games.Source: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/6nOZExnKddc/

As Mitt Romney's convention closes, the buzz in Germany is about Paul Ryan
The Republican focus, of course, was the official nomination of Mitt Romney for president. But Germany appears more interested in his choice of running mate.
Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and vice presidential nominee, Rep. Paul Ryan (l.) wave to delegates during the Republican National Convention in Tampa, Fla., on Thursday, Aug. 30.

EnlargeAfter the last balloon fell at the Republican convention in Tampa, Fla., last night, German media delivered their verdict on the now-official Romney-Ryan ticket. Despite the fact that the convention focused on the crowning of Mitt Romney, it was really his sidekick, Paul Ryan, that grabbed German attention.

As Mr. Romney has been campaigning for years to get his shot at the White House, he is a well-known name in Germany. His big acceptance speech, however, still hit the news, given that he is the one challenging President Obama, who is still highly popular overseas.
The Munich based Sueddeutsche Zeitung gave Romney credit for a solid speech, but summed up its take with its headline: "Romney wants to take America back to the past." The weekly Die Zeit was less polite, wondering in its online election blog: "who the hell has written that speech for Romney?" It gave him only 5 out of 10 possible points for his performance.
But much of the comment was about Ryan. Germany is still trying to figure out who that 42-year-old politician with the college boy look is ? and what influence he would have in a potential Romney administration.
The daily Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung stated what many thought: that Paul Ryan is a far better speaker than Romney. Spiegel Online comments in its editorial that Ryan is "more dangerous than Sarah Palin" because his ideas would be a declaration of war on America's social welfare. The Hamburg-based online publication showed concern that Ryan could lead the Republican party more to the right for years to come, even if team Romney-Ryan fails at winning the White House.
'Ryan is the real king'
The business paper Handelsblatt made an even stronger statement, suggesting that once in the White House, the Romney/Ryan administration could become more of a "Ryan/Romney presidency." The Berlin daily Der Tagesspiegel drew a similar conclusion, saying that Ryan could become the next president in 2016 if Obama wins over Romney: "Ryan is the real king."
Concerns about Ryan's ideas aside, he is regarded as a smart politician and is given credit for at least having a plan for solving the economic crisis (even if it's not well received) ? which German commentators so far don't see in the Romney campaign.

The birdy smell of a compatible partner
ScienceDaily (Sep. 7, 2012) ? New evidence shows that birds may choose their mate with the help of smell. They prefer a dissimilar mate because this gives their young a more efficient immune system. This has been shown in a new study by researchers from Lund University in Sweden, in a Swedish-French collaboration.
Humans and many animals can choose a suitable mate by smell. Choosing a mate with the right smell can give the offspring an efficient immune system. This is because each individual's smell can be said to reflect information on the individual's genes. By finding the mate whose genes best match one's own, the chances are higher that offspring will have greater resistance to a range of parasite attacks and other diseases.
Unlike many animals, birds have been considered to have a poor sense of smell, but there are exceptions. Blue petrels are Antarctic seabirds with an unusually good sense of smell. They can recognise their mate and their nest using smell alone, and return to their nests under cover of darkness. A group of scientists, including researchers from Lund University, have now shown that the nose of the blue petrel is even capable of smelling which mate will produce young with the best immune systems.
"The study is a collaboration between researchers here in Lund and researchers in France. My contribution has been my knowledge of how to identify and compare genes from different individuals," says Maria Strandh, a researcher at the Department of Biology at Lund University.
Blue petrels are long-lived and monogamous birds.
