Rapid and controlled clot formation is achieved through sequential activation of circulating serine proteinase precursors on phosphatidylserine-rich procoagulant membranes of activated platelets and endothelial cells. The homologous complexes Xase and prothrombinase, each consisting of an active proteinase and a non-enzymatic cofactor, perform critical steps within this coagulation cascade. The activated cofactors VIIIa and Va, highly specific for their cognate proteinases, are each derived from precursors with the same A1-A2-B-A3-C1-C2 architecture. Membrane binding is mediated by the C2 domains of both cofactors. Here we report two crystal structures of the C2 domain of human factor Va. The conserved beta-barrel framework provides a scaffold for three protruding loops, one of which adopts markedly different conformations in the two crystal forms. We propose a mechanism of calcium-independent, stereospecific binding of factors Va and VIIIa to phospholipid membranes, on the basis of (1) immersion of hydrophobic residues at the apices of these loops in the apolar membrane core; (2) specific interactions with phosphatidylserine head groups in the groove enclosed by these loops; and (3) favourable electrostatic contacts of basic side chains with negatively charged membrane phosphate groups.

[FA5_HUMAN] Defects in F5 are the cause of factor V deficiency (FA5D) [MIM:227400]; also known as Owren parahemophilia. It is a hemorrhagic diastesis.[1][2] Defects in F5 are the cause of thrombophilia due to activated protein C resistance (THPH2) [MIM:188055]. THPH2 is a hemostatic disorder due to defective degradation of factor Va by activated protein C. It is characterized by a poor anticoagulant response to activated protein C resulting in tendency to thrombosis.[3][4][5][6][7] Defects in F5 are a cause of susceptibility to Budd-Chiari syndrome (BDCHS) [MIM:600880]. A syndrome caused by obstruction of hepatic venous outflow involving either the hepatic veins or the terminal segment of the inferior vena cava. Obstructions are generally caused by thrombosis and lead to hepatic congestion and ischemic necrosis. Clinical manifestations observed in the majority of patients include hepatomegaly, right upper quadrant pain and abdominal ascites. Budd-Chiari syndrome is associated with a combination of disease states including primary myeloproliferative syndromes and thrombophilia due to factor V Leiden, protein C deficiency and antithrombin III deficiency. Budd-Chiari syndrome is a rare but typical complication in patients with polycythemia vera. Defects in F5 may be a cause of susceptibility to ischemic stroke (ISCHSTR) [MIM:601367]; also known as cerebrovascular accident or cerebral infarction. A stroke is an acute neurologic event leading to death of neural tissue of the brain and resulting in loss of motor, sensory and/or cognitive function. Ischemic strokes, resulting from vascular occlusion, is considered to be a highly complex disease consisting of a group of heterogeneous disorders with multiple genetic and environmental risk factors.[8] Defects in F5 are associated with susceptibility to pregnancy loss, recurrent, type 1 (RPRGL1) [MIM:614389]. RPRGL1 is a common complication of pregnancy, resulting in spontaneous abortion before the fetus has reached viability. The term includes all miscarriages from the time of conception until 24 weeks of gestation. Recurrent pregnancy loss is defined as 3 or more consecutive spontaneous abortions.[9]
[FA5_HUMAN] Central regulator of hemostasis. It serves as a critical cofactor for the prothrombinase activity of factor Xa that results in the activation of prothrombin to thrombin.

What began on Sept. 17, when the anti-consumerist organization AdBusters called for the occupation of Wall Street, has expanded to a global movement with similar protests advocating everything from holding corrupt speculators accountable for the gamble of investment banking to advocating more environmental protection, to placing limits on lobbyists' monetary influence on representatives, and to equal opportunities for women.
For most people, the Occupy Wall Street movement appears to have sprung seemingly from nowhere, with sudden widespread protests against the corporate influence in American politics and the level with which Wall Street bankers can gamble with depositors' money, and to a larger extent, with the entire economy.
Although police thought the protestors would quickly leave, that has not been the case, and there have been many conflicts between protesters and police wishing to at least temporarily clear them out of public areas.
However, despite all of the excitement surrounding the sudden emergence of these protesters and the polarizing reactions to them, there still remains a great deal of confusion both in commentators' remarks about them and within the movement itself as to what goals the movement is working towards. This is because, one month after it caught the country by surprise, the Occupy Wall Street protest is still entirely leaderless despite being on the threshold of becoming what many commentators refer to as a political force similar in magnitude to the Tea Party of 2009.
It would seem that if there is any common thread to the erratic protests, it would be that protesters are upset that the divisive political rhetoric in this country has aligned people against each other, and that people who are upset with the political system in this country should begin to speak for themselves instead of having politicians speak for them.
It has also allowed people of differing political ideologies, such as socialists and libertarians, to begin discussing possible solutions to the corruption in American politics and economics instead of only apathetically accepting the corruption.
Public figures have found that it is both convenient and undemanding to apply divisive labels against each other. Politicians have tapped into this broad anger to ensure re-election, which keeps people attacking each other instead of addressing any of the issues at hand.
Ever since the general de-regulation of the financial market in the 1980's and especially with the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act in 1999, Wall Street investment firms began to gamble with depositors' money that was formerly held in commercial banks. Many economists attribute this to be the cause of the severity of the financial downturns since 2007.
It is necessary to open up respectful discussion in this country in order to fashion a better future. People have a right to stand up for what they believe in, and, if it means bringing attention to a corrupt oligarchy in which the wealthiest Americans are protected by corporate greed and lobbyists who ensure that the political barricade is held up by money, then by all means, people must fight and continue to fight against oppression.
From this simple cause, to eliminate the influence of money in politics, an entirely new country can be born.
The Occupy Wall Street protest that originally began in New York City to little media attention has quickly ballooned into a media spectacle with protests across the globe, fueled largely in part by such online networking sites as Twitter and Facebook. Some have even compared this protest against the economy to recent revolutions, such as the one in Egypt.
Capturing the attention of people nationwide, Occupy Wall Street has been hailed as the movement of the decade. But despite all of the hype, it has not accomplished anything.
Business owners are the foundation of America. The feared one percent is simply a misunderstood parent; a martyr for the common good that must suffer so that the 99 percent can vent their misunderstood anxiety.
The banks and traders making their living on Wall Street not only create wealth for themselves, but they also provide an opportunity for wealth for many middle-class families. In the panic caused by the collapse of the financial market, these families have forgotten where the banks got the money in the first place: the public.
There were not any Occupy Wall Street movements when college tuition was being paid by these sleazy economic tactics, and it is only after it has failed that people are upset. These protestors have only themselves to blame.
In addition to misplacing blame, this movement also misplaces its purpose. The Occupy Wall Street protests have no goals. They have nothing that they are trying to accomplish. It seems that all they want to do is get attention.
Pictures and videos of stories from behind the lines tell tales not of change, but of unruly behavior and public displays of aggression against police cars.
Many people wonder where this movement started. It appears to be a great story: a grass roots American movement to demand corporate responsibility; a liberal response to the conservative Tea Party that will save America.
The truth is far less romantic. Occupy Wall Street was started by Canadian Political Action Committee Adbusters., whose tactics of lobbying, public manipulation, and dirty election money are the same practices that the movement is protesting against.
The protests have accomplished nothing, and they will continue to accomplish nothing as long as they protest to people who have no control.
A few bankers cannot be held responsible for the problems of the entire economy. The actions of a few bankers cannot derail the entire economy. If these protestors want reform, then that reform must come from the government, not the tycoons.

Service Providers Boost DaaS Adoption Leveraging New DaaS Automation Engine for Rapid Deployment and Multi-Data Center Capability to Improve End User Performance
Lexington, MA— Desktone, Inc., the pioneer of Desktops as a Service (DaaS), today launched the Desktone 5.0 Platform, raising the bar for the industry's most flexible DaaS platform for service providers and telecommunication companies to offer hosted virtual desktop solutions to businesses and end users. Consumerization of IT is changing the way the workforce operates, with enterprises looking to support a multitude of end users devices from the corporate network without costly investments in infrastructure. Service providers such as Dell, NaviSite and Netelligent have embraced Desktone's DaaS platform as a simple, affordable alternative to traditional virtual desktop technologies, using the cloud to deliver cost-effective, full-featured virtual desktops to any device.
The Desktone 5.0 Platform is the only platform that can deliver three separate types of hosted virtual desktops to end users, while providing industry-leading multi-tenancy and remaining in compliance with Microsoft licensing terms, all under one integrated product. The result is a breakthrough 40-50 percent reduction in the price point for DaaS and simplified management for operators.
"End user organizations want workstations that are easy to manage and inexpensive to run, and service providers are keen to meet this demand. So there's been an explosion of interest in desktops as a service," said Rachel Chalmers, research director, Infrastructure Management, The 451 Group. "Desktone now gives service providers a platform for delivering all kinds of desktops, from shared to fully featured, depending on what users need and what licenses are available."
Since not all users require the same type of desktop, service providers require flexibility in the services they deliver to support heterogeneous end user environments. The Desktone 5.0 Platform is the only virtual desktop solution that can enable all desktop types for DaaS applicable for various use cases:
- Hosted Full-Featured VDI: Delivering end users a full-featured desktop that replicates the exact experience of a physical Windows desktop.
- Hosted Shared Leveraging Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH): An ideal option for users such as task workers that don't require a full-featured desktop.
- Hosted Personal Windows Server: A comparable Windows experience at a more affordable price, often utilized by small to mid-sized companies.
"Desktone is experiencing significant inbound requests for our DaaS solution, signing partnerships with global service providers who recognize the value proposition of delivering DaaS but need a platform to make it affordable, easy, reliable and secure," said Peter McKay, CEO, Desktone. "The Desktone Platform is that solution; the first to give service providers the ability to provision and manage multiple types of hosted desktops from a single console. This approach is timely as service providers contemplate significant investment decisions in virtual desktop solutions as many existing XenApp versions near end of life."
The Desktone 5.0 Platform features a new DaaS Automation Engine that facilitates rapid data center setup and desktop provisioning. Using the Automation Engine, service providers can automate builds of the data center infrastructure and provision full tenant environments in minutes versus weeks or months needed by vendors using traditional desktop virtualization technologies. Service providers can boost sales of DaaS offerings by delivering a true "try and buy" experience and accommodating deployments of all sizes, from free trials to more complex proof of concept deployments, scaling up to large production environments.
To further empower service providers, the Desktone platform now includes enhancements to maximize end user performance by reducing latency. The closer the hosted virtual desktop is to the end user, the better the performance. A new multi-data center management capability can dynamically provision hosted desktops from various data centers enabling service providers to deliver desktops to users globally. Desktone's proprietary orchestration layer enables service providers to manage all three desktop delivery methods across multiple data centers all from a single management system, dramatically reducing management complexity.
"We are seeing increased demand for hosted desktops among customers looking to reduce cost and management complexity," said Denis Martin, Executive Vice President and CTO, NaviSite. "But they also expect superior performance, scalability and feature rich virtual desktops. Desktone enables us to deliver these solutions in our Desktop-as-a-Service (DaaS) offering across multiple data centers."
About Desktone
Desktone is changing the way people buy and manage desktops. Desktone pioneered the concept of cloud-hosted Desktops as a Service (DaaS), the easiest and most affordable way to deploy hosted virtual desktops. The Desktone Platform provides all of the benefits of virtualized desktops without any of the hassles. By delivering virtual desktops in the cloud, Desktone enables enterprises to rapidly provision desktops to users connected on any device, anywhere, without the upfront costs and complexity of traditional desktop virtualization – transforming desktops from a CAPEX to OPEX item. Founded in 2007, Desktone is funded by Highland Capital and Softbank and is headquartered in Boston, MA. For more information, visit www.desktone.com.

Marianne made the score for this short film, produced as a promo piece for TV2 in Norway. It´s also a nice instructional video for you kids out there, demonstrating how people used to communicate in the olden days, by writing "letters" on "paper", with a thing called a "pen".
dittoslo.no reports from Katzenjammer´s first ever (!) festival gig at home in Oslo on June 21.
The website analogROCK writes about the song God´s Great Dust Storm:
"The power that lies behind this piece of music doesn't stop there. If, like me, you struggle to grasp the story through Katzenjammer's poetic lyrics, you can still feel the haunting story through the pain, suffering and the begging of forgiveness that pours through the tones of the band's harmonies. When I listen to it my mind paints a picture of someone being whipped up by a whirl wind of spirits as they are tortured with unimaginable pain for the sins they have committed before being eventually cleansed and forgiven. Yeah I know, that seems incredibly deep from a single piece of music and even I'm shocked at where it took my imagination but that's what this song can do. It is more than just a track to pass time whilst you sit and stare at lolcats on Facebook. This is music that opens the door to your imagination and shows you a world that existed way before the lazy days of fancy smartphones and stupid memes."
The rest is here

Marianne picked a reasonably representative selection of all the goodness that is the "Images Under Construction" trilogy of EP´s, stuffed it all onto one CD, and released it in Germany this month. At the moment there´s just eight copies left at Amazon.de, but apparently more are on the way. Go get it!
While Marianne has been in Austin, TX for SXSW, Sol and Anne Marit played at the World Cup in Oslo´s Holmenkollen. Temperature difference: 50 degrees celsius.

Research Finds Women Favor Organizations That Promote Gender Equality
By Stephany Schings Below, Communications Manager
Efforts by organizations to attract women typically involve implementing diversity initiatives, such as those that stress "women's empowerment" or "gender equality." But new research shows empowerment initiatives might not be so powerful.
In today's workplace, successfully managing gender diversity is critical and can even be associated with better business performance. A March 2014 report by the Anita Borg Institute (The Case for Investing in Women) found that Fortune 500 companies with at least three female directors have seen their return on invested capital increase by at least 66%, return on sales increase by 42%, and return on equity increase by at least 53%. Gallup has also found that companies with more diverse teams (including more women) have a 22% lower turnover rate.
Whether believing that gender diversity is a moral imperative or a source of competitive advantage...Read more

Film presented in honor of Black History Month
The effect of music and dance during different time periods in black history will be the focus of the film "Amandla" presented at North Idaho College in honor of Black History Month.
"Amandla" is a film by director Lee Hirsch that records the history of music used as a form of social protest against Apartheid in South Africa. The footage used in the film documents the apartheid, which included the forced removal of black South Africans to government-built townships, the passing of race laws, the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela and other elements of the institutionalization of racial discrimination through the '60s, '70s and '80s. Interviews and archival footage help tell the stories of figures such as Hugh Masekela, Miriam Makeba, Abdullah Ibrahim, Nelson Mandela and Vuyisile Miniwho used music to communicate, motivate and unite.
The film will be presented at 6 p.m. Monday, Feb. 26 and at 2:30 p.m. Friday, March 2 in Molstead Library's Todd Hall.
The presentations are free and open to the public.

BIRDLAND – As July 16 approaches and the Saints seem to be bungling a new deal for quarterback Drew Brees, I've been getting a lot of questions – via the comment page and twitter.com – about Falcons cornerback Brent Grimes.
Best I can tell, all is quiet on the Grimes' front. We reached out to his people this week and haven't heard back from them on or off the record yet. Usually, they are very good about keeping us in the loop, but this is the slow period for everyone.
Smitty is off getting ready to play some golf at Lake Tahoe. Dimitroff is likely cruising around a bike trail somewhere. Roddy White hasn't even gotten into a Tweet-fight recently as he's been mourning the move of Ray Allen from his beloved Celtics to the Miami Heat. Reggie Roberts, the Falcons VP PR man, is somewhere hiding out. (He's dodging me. I think he's scared to play our annual skins golf match. He clearly doesn't want ANY this year! Hate to call him out in public, but sometimes drastic times call for drastic measures.)
Here's what we know about the Grimes situation:
Brees and Grimes are not in the same situation.
BREES is an "exclusive" franchise player – not free to sign with another club – is offered the greater of (i) the average of the top five salaries at the player's position for the current year as of the end of the Restricted Free Agent Signing Period on April 20; or (ii) the amount of the Required Tender for a non-exclusive franchise player.
GRIMES signed a non-exclusive franchise tender which will pay him $10.281 million this season. From the new collective bargaining agreement: "The Nonexclusive Franchise Tender shall be a one year NFL Player Contract for (A) the average of the five largest Prior Year Salaries for players at the position . . . at which the Franchise Player participated in the most plays [formerly, "games"] during the prior League Year, which average shall be calculated by: (1) summing the amounts of the Franchise Tags for players at that position for the five preceding League Years; (2) dividing the resulting amount by the sum of the Salary Caps for the five preceding League Years . . . ; and (3) multiplying the resulting percentage by the Salary Cap for the upcoming League Year . . . (the "Cap Percentage Average") . . . ; or (B) 120% of his Prior Year Salary, whichever is greater."
All of that legalese means, as best I can tell, is the that the exclusive tag ends up with a higher salary than the non-exclusive tag. Also, there is no transition player tag under the new CBA.
Also, the Falcons are too tight up against the cap right now to do a major deal. Because of that, it's reasonable to conclude that they want Grimes to play under the tag and they'll revisit extension talks during the upcoming season.
In the past, Dimitroff has taken care of some players they wanted to keep in-season: (Jonathan Babineaux, Michael Jenkins and Tony Gonzalez last year.)
The Falcons only have $2,834,837, fourth lowest in the league, under the cap, according to the NFL. They appear contractually land-locked for the season. That's just enough room to add on two players at the veteran minimum late in training camp.
We haven't heard from Grimes since he signed his tender shortly after the Falcons made the move to get Asante Samuel. He told us that he'd get his side of the story out.
San Francisco safety Dashon Golden came out on SiriusNFLradio and said he's ready to play 2012 under his tender.
"All these one-year/one-year (contracts) is not what any player would want. We know what we put our bodies through and what we do for our teams. But it's all good. There's no love lost or anything like that. I just hope something will get done. If not, I'll still be a 49er."
But sometimes these franchise tag deals can get messy.
The normally mild-mannered and businesslike Dunta Robinson had a major franchise tag blowup when he was in Houston. He held out before signing the tender and then wrote "Pay Me, Rick" on his shoes. He was referring to Houston general manager Rick Smith, who tagged Robinson.
Also, there was Logan Mankins' dealings with New England in 2010 under the former CBA.
We don't know what caused the Grimes' camp to flip flop. In early March, they had no plans to sign the tag. Then in late April, Grimes signed the tender.
The Grimes camp appears set to play under the tag, while hoping to iron out a long-term deal.

It seems like both sides know that a deal will get done. And for Grimes this is more money in one season than he has ever gotten in his career. However, it'd be very easy for the Falcons to give him a first year cap hit at the Franchise # and still give him a big deal this year.
July 12th, 2012
8:53 am
Would they not actually free up initial space if they signed him to a long term deal in the form of signing bonus? I don't expect Grimes will get a long term deal before the deadline though. My sources tell me(via Twitter rant) he was asked to play one more year before a deal could be offered. For some reason it seems like league wide teams are not really interested in signing their tagged players. Grimey has earned his IMO. However his asking price may be too high. Dunta is the one robbing the Branch blind.

Show him the money? Hell no. Show him the door. Not worth keeping.

9:12 am
When I hear people say, well the player is making more this year than he has made in his career, I wonder. What if Brent Grimes goes out in game 1 and shreds his knee up, will the Falcons still want to sign him long term at current market value? If not, the argument that he will make more this year than in his career is worthless. For those who have never participated, it's about security and not the amount one can make in one year.

I understand there's no injury protection in franchise tags? Is that correct for both exclusive and non-exclusive tags?
I'm glad Optimus has the patience and trust in his organization to eventually give him his due.

Nice dig at the Saints DLed, "bungling a new deal for quarterback Drew Brees". But it's more like wishful fiction on your part.
July 12th, 2012

If Grimes goes out and shreds his knee in the first game, then the Falcons did the right thing.
I care more about the team than a player
July 12th, 2012
9:29 am
That kind of player approach gets you left looking stupid when big time FA are up for grabs. It's the organization that deals with the players not a fan. Some fans are too stupid to even know whats good for the team anyway.
July 12th, 2012
9:31 am
I don't think the Falcons are thinking of Grimes as a long term player otherwise they could have paid him last season.
The least he's going to take is around 7.5 a season I'd think + bonuses. It's probably smarter buisiness to have him play under the Franchise tag this year for the Falcons and consider letting him walk or paying him next year.
July 12th, 2012
9:34 am
10 million is a fair amount for both sides this season give the excellent level of Grimes play, but I do feel bad for him a bit that he's vastly out played his contracts in most seasons and he probably won't get a huge payday other than this 10 million, but hey it's still 10 million dollars.
He's proven himself to be one of the better corners in the league and he's not even 6 feet tall.
July 12th, 2012
9:35 am
For the record, he gets all of the 10 million dollars under the franchise tag no matter what as long as he shows up for work.
July 12th, 2012
9:37 am
DLed: "$10 million apart on guaranteed money" indicates that they have agreed on the total amount, just need to agree on the adjectives regarding part of it. It's all in perspective. You say "bungle", I say "almost done!"
July 12th, 2012

Honestly, I'm not worried about Matt Ryan right now. He's got a lot to prove this year and next year.
He's got to prove he can win in the playoffs before we can say he's worthy of the 100+ million he's going to be asking for.
Baker is gone no matter what. Moore also is left with with a lot to prove. Can he stay healthy? Good player, but is he going to be available all the time?

The Brees deal will be done by Monday but not before I don't think. It would be inconceivable for that not to happen.

I think with those comments last night Matt Stafford is the new peoples champion.
Brees was likeable but not really after this negociation. He's shown himself to be quite the Dbag publically over the last year. It is what it is. Great QB, big time whiner.

Cutting a certain LT after he (likely) still shows little in Camp could add some cap room, right?
July 12th, 2012
10:10 am
Yea D, Moore is definitely one they will want to secure IMO. Baker not so sure Lol. My comment about the approach to players was directed at those who say if Grimes sheds his knee then not giving him a long term deal was the right thing. Dumb logic and you can't handle your business like that lol. You better draft perfect because FA's won't come to Atl with that wack approach. You get a reputation as an organization when you treat players a certain way. Most people look at 10 mill for 1 year and say heck I would do anything for that until you start to see what other guys at your level are making…leave your pay rate out of this equation LOL. If the Falcons don't pay Grimes somebody else will. Asante is a great pickup but he ain't no spring chicken now and Dunta well he's Dunta, living the dream of big pay for little performance. Grimes is 28 yrs old and the best long term option this team has. I personally don't know what Grimes is asking in terms of money so I won't pretend on the blog.
July 12th, 2012
10:11 am
so, when an opposing player tries to get the money he deserves (for playing a game) he's a 'whiner'..but when a local player does the same, he's 'negotiating'….go figure..

I did notice that Brees didn't thank the Saints during his acceptance speech last night at the ESPYS, he did thank all the players by name, some of the coaches, his fans, wife, kids and soon to arrive kid, and even the equipment managers, but not Benson or Loomis? LOL! He was getting long winded anyway. He also hung his head when the "special fund" was mentioned to get him signed. The team was part of the "Best Game" award; you all gotta admit, that was a helleva game!
Pop quiz: What team was never once mentioned last night? NOT ONCE?!
July 12th, 2012
11:01 am
I missed the ESPYs…did Brees have anything to say about player safety? I remember how vocal he was against the proposed 18 game schedule. He must have used last night's forum to similarly denounce the bounty program his former DC admitted to, since he (Brees) is such a big advocate of all players and an NFLPA Leader

EVERYONE, please stop answering this troll. He comes here and tries to turn a Falcon blog into a Saints blog. If you guys want to talk Saints football then accompany him to a Saints blog. Everywhere we try and talk Falcon football Saints fans show up. They're a borderline criminal organization. The team and its fans have no respect for the game, the rules of the game (and with their drug thefts, no respect for the rules of the nation) or for themselves. Let them go……to a Saints blog.

Fair enough…I just hope that someday, in my lifetime, the Falcons win a Super Bowl. Then, the year after they win it, I hope their coach doesn't get in trouble for stealing painkillers…and I hope they don't lose to a below .500 team in the playoffs in the following season…and I hope they don't lose yet again in the first game of the playoffs 2 seasons after winning it…and of course I really hope they don't implement a bounty system, nor have a self-righteous and arrogant QB who won't fess up to it…

I say let's sign Grimes to an extension. If anything, it gives us the freedom to let Dunta go in a year or two if he doesn't impress.
July 12th, 2012
11:37 am
Hey Y"all:
I believe the Grimes camp is being fair in accepting the one year tender based on the fact Grimes injured his knee last year. Questions remain about can he play at the high level as he did before the injury. He has to prove that on the field then more money is coming. Grimes is great and I am looking forward to him playing with the same vigor and tenacity. And when he does, its "SHOW ME THE MONEY" time. This should be fun watching him show out getting there. SHOW OUT, GRIMES!! SHOW OUT, IN "ONE HEARTBEAT!!!".
This is a SECRET from a FALCON FAN. TELL EVERYBODY!!!
July 12th, 2012

Looks like you are just like the Aints management "Seen" making excuses as why YOUR Team will not pay the best player in the team and one of the best In the game. TRAGIC! Sounds to me like a hot pot of gumbo. Throw alot of stuff in it and say its good food. Like they doing the contract, throwing alot of stuff in and tell Drew its good for him. AINTS BLOW!
July 12th, 2012
11:51 am
Hey Dled if they make a deal with grimes wouldn't it free up the 10 mil that he is getting with the tender? So they would have about 13 mill – whatever they pay him in the contract

@ Ledbetter…
Like I said to you when Grimes finally came up for an extension that the bargain he had been should have been accounted for… Here's the problem, they whiffed badly on almost every other DB (Moore is a question because he must stay on the field)… That DeCoud deal is even more baffling in that light… However, they are stuck with it now… Grimes is a long-term investment, that balloon-payment (in essence, the raise) is just an extension of that point… He should have been locked up two years ago… The hard cap strikes again!
July 12th, 2012
12:26 pm
Grimes is one of my favorite players on the Falcons, and we need everyone to play with the same passion and reckless abandon that he plays with. The 10 mill/ 1 year deal is great for him, and he was smart to sign it and not drag it out like a pre-madonna would do like Dwight Howard.

Biking & Golfing, sounds like Falcons Management is really concerned about the status of their Team. The Falcons are "Business as Usual" while the lowly Aints are Crashing & Burning! Thanks DOL for the read. Seen/Hiram = Lowlifes!

12:38 pm
Not the best that title belongs to Aaron Rodgers (as stated by ESPN Top quarterbacks and I agree) Brees is second best and I dont have a problem saying it. I give props where they are due, not like you woeful AINT fans. But as I see you dont address the real issue! That being, an unhappy QB who is being treated like a sucker. Come on AINTS. hehehehehe. Like I said spent to much on the bounty money and you dont want to pay the man. Here is the kicker! Becasue you did not pay him when you were supposed to you have to really pay him now which means that you guys will be looking at more cuts by next year which will deplete this team even worse, which means get your paper bags!!!! Not good having one of the best if he does not have weapons around him. And to that I am gone!

Mountain Institute will use a newly-installed solar array to reduce electricity
costs and help teach visitors about energy efficiency and renewable energy.
institute is located at the Spruce Knob Mountain Center in Pendleton County.
3.055 kilowatt photovoltaic array is housed on the center's Earth Sheltered
Office Building, which stands a few hundred below Spruce Knob, the state's
highest peak. It was constructed using grant funds from the Appalachian
Stewardship Foundation. Mountain View Solar donated and installed the solar
array includes 13 American-made solar photovoltaic panels, capable of producing
235 watts of power, and the system ties directly into the utility grid and does
not require battery storage. It also features real-time monitoring, allowing
virtual access to data quantifying daily energy production and associated
environmental benefits.
to Facility Director Dave Martin, the array will help save energy costs and
save the center thousands of dollars over its lifetime.
"Solar helps us save on energy costs and fits
naturally within our mission to empower visitors with a sense of respect for
all the resources mountain areas provide," he said.
system will supply 100 percent of the electricity to power the Center's
Caretakers Cottage and is expected to save thousands of dollars in electricity
costs over its lifetime.
original system design had called for 12 panels; however, Mountain View Solar
of Berkeley Springs offered to donate an extra panel to increase system size
and power output.
"We are happy to partner with The Mountain
Institute and donate a solar panel to support education and environmental
stewardship in West Virginia," said Colin Williams of Mountain View.
solar installation follows the recent completion of a 3.12-kilowatt solar array
atop the Farmers Market in Morgantown and is part of a series of projects
designed by The Mountain Institute to mitigate rising energy costs, empower
local economic development and help protect natural resources.

Wimbledon WCs Named
Published June 16, 2009 03:15
LONDON, UK - The All-England Club announced the wildcards for Wimbledon last week, and they included the youngest ever British women's player to be in the main draw at Wimbledon. Laura Robson, who is 15, was amongst the eight players to be given wildcards into the main draw, which also included fellow Brits Elena Baltacha, Katie O'Brien, Melanie South and Georgie Stoop.
Rounding out the list of wildcard recipients are American teenager Alexa Glatch, Portugal's Michelle Larcher de Brito and comeback Japanese player Kimiko Date Krumm, who has not graced the grass at Wimbledon since 1995.
Robson, the youngest player in Wimbledon's main draw since Martina Hingis in 1995, is confident she will play in her top form when she hits the grass at The Championships: "From the sounds of it, there's going to be quite a lot of pressure, so I'm just going to have to deal with that," she said. "I don't know what I'm going to do but all I can do is go on court and try my best. Then, win or lose, if I've tried my best then I cannot be unhappy."
Though her ranking is No.482, Robson has been allowed into the main draw under the Lawn Tennis Association's exceptional circumstances rule. The clause allows junior players into the main draw no matter what their ranking. Typically the cut-off for Wimbledon is 250.
Portuguese sensation Larcher de Brito, who has been firing her way up the rankings, particularly with a great showing at Roland Garros, would have been in Wimbledon's main draw without being awarded a wildcard, had the cut-off not been six weeks ago. She qualified for the Roland Garros main draw, her first Grand Slam main draw, then eventually reached the third round.
The women's doubles wildcards were also announced, with all wildcards going to British pairs. Elena Baltacha and Amanda Elliott, Jade Curtis and Anna Smith, and Laura Robson and Georgie Stoop were the recipients. There are two more doubles wildcards to be announced before The Championships begin.

Sinai (The mountain of Moses) Side: The treasury of the ancient city of Petra. Built during the Byzantine empire. t I i - Weber State University students travel to the Middle East over the summer. For one student it was an education of a lifetime. See page 5 for complete story Sociology department restructures By Caroline Lusby Signpost asst. news editor New professors, new classes and a redirection of available emphases are all working together to update the sociology department for the '90s. Sociology professor Rob Reynolds explained how the sociology department sought to review their strengths and limitations. Some subdisciplines were added, while others were expanded.They dropped 12 to 14 courses from the curriculum. Reynolds explained that these courses were deleted because they no longer supported the mission of the department, or because the expert in the area was no longer available to teach. Some courses were combined to eliminate overlap, while others were renumbered. Between 10 and 12 new classes were added to complement the new emphases. Emphases are now available in deviance and criminology, urban sociology, organizational studies, the family and comparative sociology. The hour requirement for a sociology major was also increased, from 45 to 51 credit hours. Three new tenure track positions were added to the staff, bringing the department total to six. One full-time, year-to-year position was also filled to provide a substitute for Dean Collinwood. Collinwood is now directing the Japan Center. Thorn Kearin moved from his full-time position to a tenure track status. The new professors include Brenda Kowalewski, who handles family studies; Huiying Wei-Arthus, who is assuming responsibility for organizational sociology and Homa Firouzbakhch, who is teaching comparative and political studies.Reynolds explained how the department is now more diverse in its offerings. Previously, all the professors in the department were men. Firouzbakhch said she is excited to be joining the department during such a transitional time. "That can mean a very good See Sociology page 2 Highway 89 construction causes delays for Weber State commuters By Juliann Bland Signpost staff writer Many Weber State University students arrive at school after dodging miles of construction on U.S. Highway 89. '"' ' For many WSU students, traffic due to construction of the new interchange has made the commute to and from school a problem. Flashing lights, lines of cars and construction workers fill Highway 89 by Layton. The new interchange is being built to eliminate safety hazards from the previous intersection and to enhance the mobility of traffic. Stanley Nielsen, Region Construction Engineer for the Utah Department of Transportation, said that they wanted to improve Highway 89 because it was a high accident hazardous area. "This is the most massive project, costing $14 million when its complete," Nielsen said. Nielsen said that the state wants to have the highway be an expressway for drivers. An expressway has no traffic lights, so that "traffic can be free- flowing to accommodate many more vehicles," Nielsen said. When the project is complete, "people will be able to get from here to there smoothly and quickly," he said. The construction on Highway 89 can only be avoided by driving Interstate 15. In a Signpost article published on April 12, 1995 , John Gunderson, Utah Department of Transportation Region One maintenance engineer, said the construction site is using a "plant mix seal," which allows water to drain horizontally. "This seal should prevent accidents caused by hydroplaning," Cunderson said. Gunderson said that the road and construction crews are doing their best to keep the surfaces of the road clean to help prevent road chips. WSU junior, Andrea Jordan, commutes daily from Woods Cross. "I avoid the mountain road because I hate waiting. I take 1-15 all the way to Riverdale and on," Jordan said. Nielsen said that they hope to have the project complete by the end of November. They are now finishing up the deck of the bridge, guard rails and the wall on the east side. It has not yet been determined where the next project will be or when it will begin. Nursing director claims accreditation voluntary By Alisa C. Rasmussen Signpost news editor Many questions have been raised lately about the issue of accreditation and quality of higher education, especially within the nursing program. "Our probation has nothing to do with accreditation," said Gerry Hansen, d irector of nu rs-ing. "We've been approved by the Board of Nursing since 1953. The League of Nursing is the organization who accredits us, and accreditation is a voluntary process." The trouble with the program, Hansen said, is when the League came around to evaluating this year, the new criteria was more stringently enforce. "We are evaluated every eight years," I lansen said. "In 1992, the Board adopted the League of Nursing's criteria. In 1993, a more stringent enforcement of criteria was put into effect. All faculty were required to have their master's degree or be released." Hansen said there was not an equal criteria enforcement. She said other schools, such as Brigham Young University, the University of Utah, and the College of Eastern Utah were just told to change their progra ms, whereas WeberState University was placed on probation until 2001. "We think the Board of Nursing overreacted' Hansen said. "I don't think it was necessarily fair to place our program on probation and just warn the others." The proba Hon issue should not worry the nursing students or the faculty, Hansen said. "We still have the cutting edge program," Hansen said. "We have high standards, and there is no question about the program's outcome." Four members of the faculty out of 57, did not meetrequirements. "The approval and accreditation is not in jeopardy. We just need to make a few changes, and we're already working on them," Hansen said. "Teachers not enrolled in master's degree programs, who do not already have their degrees will be released. The associate degree programs in the state are being monitored." Hansen said it was difficult to retain and recruit faculty members when the legislature doesn't increase the pay of the workers that the department has. "The salary equity needs to be re-evaluated," Hansen said. "It's not a very good thing to have people apply to our program, and then find out that they can earn more just walking across the street to McKay." Outreach programs across the state are going to change also. The Southern Utah position will be eliminated, because Dixie College is going to offer a practical nurs ing program. This is due to a budget readjustment. "Our Dixie outreach will be moved to Cedar City," Hansen said. Two faculty members without master's degrees in Logan will be re-evaluated. "Our program still continues to be one of the best around," Hansen said. "Out of approximately 190 students, only one did not pass their state boards. The national average on the tests are usually in the 80's, but in our program we have a 93 percent. That's higher than the national average."By the end of the academic year, all faculty will have their master's degrees or be ma tricu-lated into a master's program. Hansen assured the problems the program faces will have no effect on nursing students being able to sit or pass thei r boards. InsidePost News: Community health faire to increase public awareness.

|Associated Students of Weber State University; A generous grant from the Utah State Library and the Institute of Museum and Library Services.
|Weber's current student newspaper, the Signpost, first appeared on September 29, 1937. For two years prior to that time, campus news was disseminated via announcements posted on a bulletin board known as the "Signpost". As a result, the masthead of the first issue of the paper itself featured a rudimentary wooden sign with the title spelled out in rustic-looking letters. Over the years the paper has been published continuously, though the look, size and style has changed several times.

The Montreal Canadiens signed goaltender Dustin Tokarski to a one-year, two-way contract on Monday.
Tokarski was acquired from the Tampa Bay Lightning in February of this year for Cedrick Desjardins.
The Humboldt, Sask. native has suited up in seven NHL games, winning once, losing three times and losing once in overtime.
The 23-year-old is highly decorated outside of the NHL, having been a member of the 2008 Memorial Cup-winning Spokane Chiefs, the starter for Canada's gold medal-winning team at the World Junior Hockey Championship and he backstopped the Norfolk Admirals to the 2012 Calder Cup title.

Unreal Expectations
It may be half a year late, but Xbox 360 owners will finally get their chance to play Unreal Tournament III when Midway brings Epic Games' online multiplayer shooter to the system this summer. Will all that extra time mean that the 360 version is the ultimate UT? According to Tanya Jessen, the game's Senior Associate Producer, while this version has more official content than the PC and PlayStation 3 editions, it doesn't have the unofficial stuff. At least not yet.
Crispy Gamer: I think I speak for 360 owners everywhere when I ask: What the hell took so long?
Tanya Jessen: Well, we had to finish the PS3 version, but we added some new stuff to the 360 version.
Crispy Gamer: Did you do that because you felt guilty?
Jessen: No! We actually have a very small company, and we wanted to focus on one platform at a time, so we focused on the PC version, then we focused on the PS3, and then we focused on the 360.
Crispy Gamer: What have you added to the 360 version?
Jessen: There are five new maps, as well as all the maps we added to the PC and PS3 versions later on; two new characters; and a split-screen mode.
Crispy Gamer: Do those two new characters actually bring anything new to the game?
Jessen: No, it's just something different.
Crispy Gamer: Has there been any talk of bringing the five exclusive maps to the PC or PS3 at some point?
Jessen: Right now we're considering them exclusive.
Crispy Gamer: How many maps will the 360 version have at launch?
Jessen: Hmmm...it's over 50 for sure.
Crispy Gamer: For people who haven't played the game on the PC or PS3, what are the major differences between UT3 and the last game in the series, UT2004?
Jessen: Well, one thing we did is consolidate the Onslaught and Assault modes into a new one called Warfare, which is a team-based mode where you have a base and the other team has a base, and you're trying to connect nodes from one base to another. Every time you capture a node, something different happens, depending on the map. Your spawn points might move, or it might unlock different weapons and vehicles. Every map is different.
Crispy Gamer: How many different modes are there in the game?
Jessen: There's Duel, Capture the Flag, Vehicle Capture the Flag, Warfare, Deathmatch and Team Deathmatch. You can play them multiplayer, or with bots, and then there's the single-player mode.
Crispy Gamer: What's the difference between the single-player mode and playing the game with bots?
Jessen: The single-player mode has an objective-based ladder system, and you unlock new areas as you go. There's also a story, and you can actually play it four-player co-op.
Crispy Gamer: I assume, if you're just playing with the bots, it's like playing online, just by yourself.
Jessen: Right.
Crispy Gamer: In the course of playing the single-player mode, how many of the different game types do you end up playing?
Jessen: All of them.
Crispy Gamer: How many of the maps do you end up playing?
Jessen: It depends on the path you take. You can take a path where you play every single map, but you can also take a different path and only play about 23 of the maps.
Crispy Gamer: One of the big things about UT3 is that people can make their own mods, their own arenas and characters, but you have to make the mod on a PC. The game doesn't have a built-in level editor, right?
Jessen: Right. You need the mod tools we included in the PC version, but you don't need a PC to download a mod. You can just use the PS3's Web browser to go to ut3mods.com and download the mods directly.
Crispy Gamer: So I could just download the mod on my PC, put it on a USB drive, and bring it to my 360 that way?
Jessen: Actually, no, because mods aren't supported on the 360 version.
Crispy Gamer: They're not? Because at one point Mark Rein [Epic's VP] said he was talking to Microsoft about doing it.
Jessen Well, we're still talking to them about it, but to get the game on the 360 as fast as possible, we're releasing it without mod support.
Crispy Gamer: So it's a technical possibility?
Jessen: Yeah, but Xbox Live is a closed system, and they don't want people to download viruses or something, so they have to come up with a system for mods.
Crispy Gamer: If mods do become available on the 360, will people be able to use the same mods that are already available for the PC and PS3?
Jessen: Speaking hypothetically, yes, you'd be able to cook any mod for the 360 the same way you cook them for the PC and PS3. We have a set of tools for the PS3 called Unreal Front End, which converts a mod into a PS3 format, and if we are able to do mods for the 360, you'd do the same.
Crispy Gamer: Since this is still just a hypothetical, has there been any talk of making some of the existing mods available for download off Xbox Live instead?
Jessen: Well, we're talking to Microsoft about a lot of things, but nothing's been decided, yet.
Crispy Gamer: Do you have a favorite mod?
Jessen: Yeah, I was really impressed with the LEGO mod. Someone basically built a map out of LEGOs, and it actually has the properties of LEGOs, so when you shoot a rocket at a house, all the individual pieces break apart.
Crispy Gamer: One unique feature of games on the 360 are Achievements. Are there any really funny ones, like if you blow yourself into chunks with a rocket launcher five times you unlock the "Stew You" Achievement?
Jessen: Ha! No. Microsoft actually won't let you do an Achievement where you kill yourself or your teammate, but there were some pretty interesting ones that got suggested. What we did is we opened up the floor to everyone in the company, including the testers, and asked them what Achievements they wanted to see. Someone suggested one you would get if you grappled from one air vehicle to another and then landed without dying, though that didn't make it in the game.
Crispy Gamer: Besides UT, Epic's other big franchise is Gears of War. Did anything in Unreal Tournament III come out of things you guys either did, or tried to do, with Gears? Or has anything in Gears 2 come out of something in UT3?
Jessen: There wasn't anything specific that got moved, but there are times when someone will come up with an idea and realize that it would work better for UT or Gears. I think the biggest lessons we learned from working on Gears was how to have a console control system for shooters than was really intuitive and made sense.
Crispy Gamer: Has there been any talk of doing a Gears vs. Unreal game?
Jessen: Ha! You know, there's been all sorts of stuff like that floating around, but nothing too serious. That would be interesting, though.
Crispy Gamer: So besides Unreal Tournament, what is your favorite online multiplayer shooter?
Jessen: I'm really partial to Counter-Strike. I was actually a competitive Counter-Strike player. I was in a clan for a long time and played in the amateur leagues for like two years. I used to play for eight or nine hours a day every day. I'd come home from work and that's all I'd do.
Crispy Gamer: Does that mean you're the best UT player at Epic?
Jessen: Oh, no, no. UT is a whole other breed. Also, a lot of our employees were huge fans of the game and made mods themselves -- that's how they came to our attention -- and a lot of those guys are really, really good. One of our gameplay programmers, Matt Oelske, he's the guy to beat at UT.
Please keep on posting such articles as this is a rare thing to find these days. I am always searching online for articles that can help me. http://www.dreamwatchus.com

Mafia 2 - First Shot
It's clear from the outset that developer 2k Czech** wanted to make this a "cinematic" game. The first 15 minutes of the game is almost entirely pre-rendered movies. They spend a great deal of time talking about your (Vito's) life as a child immigrant, your father's alcoholism and dirty dealings, your views on the wealth disparity within the city, etc. It certainly does a good job of drawing you into the world and the characters, but there is one huge problem: This is a game, not a movie.
Back in the days of Grand Theft Auto 3 (the original), your character didn't even talk. He just nodded when people told him to do horrific and sociopathic things. In a way, this was a smart move because there was no context to dispute the man's character. Maybe he just was a sociopath.
Young Vito, before the fall into loserdom.
In Mafia 2, Vito grows up in squalor, turns to a life of petty crime as a young adult, is caught and plea-bargains out of jail by joining the army during World War 2. Great, that's an interesting guy. He's got a troubled past, but he's also now an upstanding war hero and has every chance in the world to lead a happy, productive life. And what does our war hero do the second he gets home for a two week furlough? He goes AWOL, weasels out of active duty for the rest of war, abandons his fellow soldiers that are fighting and dying in the Ardennes Forest, so that he can stay home and become a petty criminal again.
What a pathetic, unreliable, loser of man. And if this were a movie, you could chalk it up to, "Well, this is the story of a flawed man and by the end, he will have either realized how stupid he's been, or he will be a character out of a Greek tragedy, succumbing to his own weaknesses." The problem is, I have to play this pussy degenerate! It's hard to get excited about jumping into the role of a coward and low life, when he's so intricately detailed. With GTA 3, I could just ignore the fact that I was low-life because I had no personality to speak of. No such luck here.
Vito back from the war, permanently.
It's so very odd to play a game where you want your character to suffer and die. It's antithetical to gaming. It's playing the bad guy; not the guy you love to hate, but the guy you just hate. He isn't a criminal mastermind or a James Bond villain. There's no charm or wit or finesse. There's just cowardice and failure. He doesn't frighten me or intrigue me. He just disgusts me......
.........Look for the full review soon!
No, Vito, even smoking won't make you cool after what you pulled.
** Please stop doing this to your studios, 2K Games! We get it, you love pasting your completely uninspired corporate name on everything you see. Now you have gone and done it to your Czech Republic studio? A formerly Soviet-oppressed country, and you go and homogenize them again?! Bring back Illusion Studios (their former name)!

Hello, how's it going? Just shared this post with a colleague, we had a good laugh. best bluetooth speakers
I agree. It really annoys me when they try to make the game too much like a movie. Sometimes you just want to get straight into the action.
Well... your review of this game may seem pretty harsh to some but I happen to think that honesty is definitely the best policy. I am sure you have given them something to think about for the future.
