The resource itself comprises an animated video showing 90 fairly well-known painted portraits of women. The paintings span from the mid-12th century to the mid 20th century (a rather longer period than the '500 years' mentioned in the video title) and are largely drawn from the Western canon.The video was nominated as Most Creative Video in the 2nd Annual YouTube Awards. The animation morphs one painting into the next, which has the effect of emphasising areas of similarly and difference between them. The video is just under three minutes in length and can be paused at any point to allow closer examination of a particular painting.On its own, the resource provides a visual overview of the changing styles of portraiture since the mid-12th cenutry and could be used by teachers at all educational levels. The resource offers considerable potential for use in the classroom, for example as a prompt for discussing developments in the representation of idealised beauty, the use of brushwork, colour, tone and other aspects of form, together with developments in the representation of three-dimensional forms through modelling. Educators using the video may also wish to point out the bounded selection, perhaps encouraging comparisons with non-Western art.The teaching and learning potential of the resource is greatly enhanced by provision of a list of the 90 featured paintings, accessed by clicking the 'Show More' button under the video display area. The list gives a small image showing a selected area of each work (the portrait featured in the video), accompanied by the artist's name, the work title and date. Further information about each artist can be gained by clicking on their name (offering a link to an external source). There is also a link to an additional list featuring large, high quality images of each work in full. These additional resources offer the potential for both in-class use and self-study by independent learners. The resource could also be used by educators in the context of online teaching and learning.The supplementary list of full-size works offers acessibility advantages in that learners with visual impairment have the opportunity to magnify the images provided.I have used the resource in an online tutorial with Level 1 UK university students, focusing on the ways in which deviation from mimesis might be achieved through colour, tone, composition etc. The video resource was very well received and I was able to use the additional web page resources to set students homework, tasking them with researching the link between form and context.Technical Remarks:Using Google Chrome and a relatively fast broadband connection the video was a little slow to load initially but the quality was high.

First, I think it would be more accurate to label this a 'course structure' as it contains insufficient information for independent study. That said, the resource should be valuable for educators seeking to design a course in the area of modern art and mass culture. The resource comprises a syllabus, lecture notes (pdf format), assignments, exams and reading lists. The course content and organisation seem logical and a potentially stimulating range of works is covered to support each lesson. The lecture notes vary in the level of detail provided, with some offering more detailed guidance than others in terms of the suggested lesson content. Again, while this should not be problematic for an educator specialising in this area it does limit the potential of the resource for an independent learner.Technical Remarks:Viewed on Chrome. No technical problems.

This is an excellent resource for educators wishing to learn how to use Twitter to enhance teaching and learning. The resource features a logically structured, informative and pedagogically sound interactive tutorial combining text, video and ongoing quizzes to assess learning. The tutorial gives step by step instruction about how to use Twitter's main features, followed by an educator-specific section giving stimulating examples of how Twitter might be used in the classroom. The examples include a blog post with links to a wealth of additional supplementary material on the use of Twitter in educational contexts.Technical Remarks:The log-in screen is potentially offputting so maybe a more explicit note could be provided prompting users to choose 'Guest' access.

The Smarthistory site is a very impressive collection of resources covering over 2000 years of art. Comprising high quality videos and clearly written and informative text-based resources, the site is organised around four main areas: Time, Style, Artist and Themes.The video and text resources available range from beginners level guidance on intrepreting and describing artworks, through to chronologically ordered overviews of specific time periods and much more narrowly focused case studies of individual works. The works chosen often differ from those commonly found in art history texts and offer a stimulating and engaging access point to the context in which each work was produced and the themes and issues addressed in the work.Educators should find Smarthistory offers great potential as a source of resources for use in classroom teaching. Smarthistory could also be useful for educators wishing to set learners a guided research task using the site. Independent learners should also find Smarthistory easy and rewarding to use. The content is academically credible and of a high standard.Technical Remarks:The site navigation takes a little getting used to due to the quantity of information available.

I'm giving the software a big thumbs up. I love it! The only problems with it are: 1. If you've never used it before, there is a big learning curve.

QuickBooks Pro 2014
I have used QuickBooks since 2005. I had to learn how to use it on the job and found it to fairly intuitive ( no pun intended!).
QuickBooks Pro 2014
Good for a generic software
I installed software programs before opening my own bakery business, so I am used to new technology. I checked forums and best practices (and consulted with my accountant) before setting up the software, but I still feel like it s not finely tuned enough for what I do. As far as tracking income and... Read More expenses, it is intuitive, and easy to navigate. I have not delved too much into the reports, but for taxes, it was easy to generate what I needed. I don't have time to learn all the nuances and as a small business owner don't have the money to pay for additional training. I was a little disappointed to see that I would get billed by my bank for downloading transactions using the "recommended" set up in QuickBooks. It was after I called my bank to cancel the service (and avoid charges) that they told me a free way to push my transactions into the software. Like the title says- it is good for a generic software until I can learn to customize it to better fit my business- just watch out for "hidden" charges for add-on and plug in applications.

Quickbooks 2014 upgrade
This product is great. The transition was seemless from the 2011 version (just make sure you have the right operating system. Download and transfer took about 30 minutes.

Read A Sample Chapter Haste Makes ... PesachCovenant and CommunityCloud CoverA Holiday For Nonbelievers
Life seems to be filled with enough challenges to spin the head, douse the spirits, and make otherwise sensible people think that the world is against them. Its usually not, but how do you convince the victim? How do you determine whats right, whats wrong, and whats the way to make things better?
Rabbi Yisroel Miller is a laser beam of sanity. In his earlier books, Whats Wrong with Being Happy? and Whats Wrong With Being Human?, he took dead aim on the enemies of joy and equilibrium, and helped improve lots of lives in the process. He did it with liberal dashes of Torah knowledge, insight, perspective, wit, eloquence, and common sense.
In his new book, Rabbi Millers springboard is the festival cycle. He delves into the lessons of Pesach, Shavuos, Succos, Chanukah, and Purim, and shows how they have things to say to everyone, every day.
Crammed with anecdotes and humor, the book bolsters sagging egos and punctures pretentiousness. Most of all, Rabbi Miller has an uncanny ability to cut to the heart of a problem, to enable his listeners and readers to attain new levels of understanding, and to help them define their strengths and goals. And he does so while showing how the Torah speaks to everyone and every situation.
One reads this book with interest and a smile. One puts it down reluctantly -- and with the feeling that its as fine a Gift for Yom Tov as one has ever received!

Perhaps what is most disconcerting about Spike Jonze's movie Her, an imperfect but thought-provoking futuristic look at love and technology, is that when you leave the theatre and go back into the real world —in my case, Third Avenue in Manhattan, where almost everyone had a cell phone in hand and where people were texting as they stood in line to exchange gifts or had a glass of wine with a friend— its premise doesn't seem implausible. Granted, the Los Angeles Jonze presents us is without cars and has become more like a pedestrian mall than not, and there are subways too. Towering buildings with huge windows dominate the landscape, and interiors seemed stripped down to their essence. Personal style has vanished in favor of comfort, symbolized by the main character's high-waisted, beltless trousers. There are no keyboards or wires in this future, just voice commands and hand gestures, which come to signify another kind of disconnection.
See All Stories In
But the larger point is that the present—in fact, many of the topics I've explored in this blog—very much informs Jonze's dystopian and somewhat depressing vision of love and relationship, played out between a dispirited, about-to-be-divorced Theodore Twombly (Joaquin Phoenix) and the object of his affection, an operating system named Samantha, voiced by Scarlett Johansson. What's important to note is that the movie isn't the rant of a Luddite but a thoughtful and often poignant look at how we live now may pan out in the future.
Theodore's job at Beautifuhandwrittenletters.com tips us off to the point that in this future, people are no longer able to put their feelings into words on their own, and simply hire it out. It turns out that, for some of his clients at least, Theodore (writer # 612) has been "writing" what they feel for years. Of course, these letters aren't "written" at all but spoken into a computer which then converts them into cursive. Given that forty-one states no longer require teaching cursive in schools, according The Cincinnati Enquirer, it doesn't take much imagination to get to a time when the handwritten letter may be a nostalgic reminder of a pre-digital world.
Other present-day cultural tropes from the hook-up culture to how we get our news provide the fuel for Jonze's vision. When Theodore allows as how he can't prioritize between playing video games and Internet porn, it's as if Michael Kimmel's Guyland has become the script of the future. Similarly, it doesn't seem much of a stretch to go from the kind of emotional disconnect Sherry Turkle has written about in Alone Together—becoming emotionally involved online, choosing a mate from a dating site, or breaking up via text— to falling in love with an operating system. In a world that already has "catfishing," is Samantha the next logical step?
Now mind you, Samantha is no ordinary operating system. At the beginning at least, she's not only inquisitive and sexy but hangs on Theodore's every word, even as he warns her that he's not ready to commit, and loves watching him sleep. She's the perfect woman for a man without real- world emotional skills, the prototypical hook-up culture's male, twenty years older and set in the future. She's a personal assistant (deleting all those voicemails he's been too disorganized to get rid of) and a super-Mom rolled into one, even choosing the best of his "letters" and sending them to a publisher who—in another nostalgic nod to the pre-digital world—puts them into book form. Yes, a book with pages and everything which actually arrives via snail mail, wrapped in paper and string!
Even the less subtle moments of black comedy seemed tethered in today. Except for Theodore's ex-wife, no one else is bothered by the fact that he carries his "girlfriend" around in his pocket, and there's a funny scene where a real couple, Theodore, and Samantha go on a double-date. The ease with which everyone accepts the relationship as "real" is reminiscent of how quickly the culture has accommodated itself to the "new normal" of living in the digital age, where seeing a couple eating dinner together while texting other people no longer seems strange or "friending" people you don't know so you can get more attention or feel better about yourself is okay.
And yet, much in the movie suggests that Jonze is acutely aware that for all of the connection technology seems to offer, it has the potential to increase whatever existential loneliness people suffer. His hero is no prince among men, even if he does remind you of someone you might know. And for all that Theodore is praised by others for his sensitivity, he is also profoundly walled-off. He's blown the one real relationship he had, that with his wife —revealed in flashbacks —but he worries most that he's already felt all he's going to feel. Technology allows Theodore to connect without the messiness, the bother, of human interaction. He's gotten so used to phone sex that when he goes on a blind date, he's visibly disturbed by the date's instruction on how to kiss and then balks when she asks whether he's just going to use her for sex. It doesn't seem to bother him that Samantha is literally disembodied; ironically, in her quest to become human, it's she who is troubled. Similarly, it's no accident that Theodore's friend Amy, played by Amy Adams, finally ends her marriage because of her husband's inability to deal with her, and her mess. (He insists she leave her shoes by the door.) Theodore and Amy, long-time friends, don't turn to each other in crisis but, instead, to their respective operating systems.
It's hard not to see Her as a cautionary tale, reminding us that maybe all that the digital age has ushered in may not be as innocent or innocuous as it seems, despite our collective willingness to go along for the ride. In the end, it may have you looking at how plugged in you really are.

Do Small Businesses Need to Worry About Cyber Security?
by Tameka Montgomery, SBA Official
- Created: November 5, 2013, 12:36 pm
- Updated: November 5, 2013, 12:36 pm
Did you know that cyber security is now one of the most debated topics in the world, mostly because all daily business is conducted over the internet? Hacking in to restricted files and stealing private data are common examples of a breach in cyber security.
SBA is offering a free online course to help you protect your business information online. Cyber Security for Small Businesses will help you to avoid breaches, measure your vulnerabilities, and use best practices to protect your business and your customer information.
President Obama designated the month of October as the National Cyber Security Awareness Month (NSCAM), now in its 10th year. It is crucial that as a small business owner you are aware of the importance of cyber security as well as the risks involved in posting your business data online.
Do not assume that your business is not at risk:
- CNN reports nearly half of the data breaches that Verizon recorded in 2012 took place in companies with less than 1,000 employees.
- A Symantec report showed that 31% of all attacks in 2012 happened to businesses that had less than 250 employees.
A different Symantec report showed cyber-attacks were up 81% in 2011.
There a many small business owners that run a large part of their business over the Internet, without any security features. As a business owner, you should understand that even with the advantages of taking your business online, certain risks come along with it too.
And small businesses are not the only ones at risk. Recent headlines told of a hacker arrested for compromising federal employee and service member information. And if government data can be hacked, small businesses undoubtedly are not exempt from hacking.
Cyber Security for Small Businesses will help you learn more about the security principles you should keep in mind when online, as well as the ways you can protect your information and networks in case of a cyber-attack. Other factors, like creating contingency plans, setting up firewalls and creating backups are all part of the training and information that you will learn.
More than a 1,000 small business owners have taken part in computer security workshops hosted by SBA in partnership with the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) and the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI). The online course is an extension of the workshops, making the resources more accessible for small business owners, and brings specific techniques to improve your information security practices right to you.
SBA's resource partners -- SCORE, Small Business Development Centers, Women's Business Centers, Veterans Business Outreach Centers and Innovation Clusters are also hosting training sessions to help business owners reduce their online risks and be aware of cyber security threats.
Take the time to be sure that your business is prepared. Take the free online course, visit your local SBA office or mentor, check out the Department of Homeland Security's Stop.Think.Connect. resource page, or brush up by reading these quick tips on cyber security.
About the AuthorIn her role as the Agency's Associate Administrator for the Office of Entrepreneurial Development, Tameka Montgomery is responsible for overseeing the agency's counseling and training resources and programs for America's entrepreneurs.

of the big names, though they also no longer safe under the current times.
That is why it is important to save all business information from hackers,
who have the potentiality to create big problem & can somewhat ruin the

So I recently had a
posted for Grim Grimoire which I thought was an excellent little RTS-wannabe that was fun and original. The second title to recently come out from developer Vanillaware was handled by Atlus, and it is called Odin Sphere. You might have heard of it and you might not have until now. Either way this is a game that you should add to your collection immediately. Odin Sphere goes down with God of War 2, Final Fantasy XII, and a few other games as the titles that have proved to me that Next-Gen isn't necessarily the way to go yet. And like Grim Grimoire it'll probably be one of those games that hold a strong market value well after the life of the PS2 comes to an end.
Odin Sphere's biggest draw is as everyone else has said; its strong graphical presentation. Easily the best looking 2-D game I have ever had the joy to lay eyes upon. And it's funny because they use some truly archaic techniques in this game. How many of you readers out there know what parallax scrolling is these days? This truly brings me back to the glory days of the SNES, when every brawler out there aspired to be Final Fight and Streets of Rage. Character sprites are huge and detailed, and it looks like they are animated at the joints, a la Rumble Fish (Japanese fighter that will sadly never see the light of day in the US), which results in fluid movements. The only downside to this powerful display is the slowdown that comes with it. At first I didn't think that it was going to be that big an issue, but then I realized before the game came out, that Atlus was being awful selective of their choice in footage to show of the game and now I see why.
This game has a number of frame-rate issues. A lot of them come during specific points in the game. They are usually triggered by ridiculously huge sprites or by simply having too many things on screen. As someone who has gamed in eras past I know how common it is to have slowdown in a game, and in this day in age, it's almost a grave sin to commit. However, I have also found a lot of times where the slowdown only heightens a moment, where you're about to get thrashed and you pull out a move that sends everyone flying. I do wish the game ran a little better because there are just some boss fights where it is nothing but slowdown and those moments are where this is truly unacceptable. The most grave offender are fights against Odette, Queen of the Dead, once you reach those fights it's a struggle to get through, especially if you are prone to dying because that just makes the fight take ages to complete.
Audio for this game is also very strong. Hitoshi Sakimoto has come up with a stellar soundtrack that fits this game to a T. He is also responsible for some of the other great soundtracks in games. His biggest accomplishments come in the form of Final Fantasy Tactics, and Final Fantasy XII. His efforts here in Odin Sphere are nothing short of spectacular. His theme song for the game, "The Fate you have Accepted" is a great piece that really captures how epic this story is. Couple the strong efforts from Sakimoto with the surprisingly good voice acting and you have a one-two punch of audio bliss. And for those who need to get your Japanese fix in for a game like this, Odin Sphere lets you change the language on the fly (well almost, there is a short load time). But honestly the English cast is so good that there isn't that much of a need to switch to Japanese. I only wish Atlus would get this strong a cast for every game that they do.
I must say I don't understand what the developers were going for with the story in Odin Sphere. You have five characters who are rushing to stop the end of the world, and each of these takes place in a different book (read by the adorable Alice in what has to be one of the coolest menus ever). What throws me off is how events conflict, the stories don't always match up, and considering that this is supposed to be a persistent world where all the characters exist I was kind of disappointed. But aside from that the story is excellent, each of the characters have a great deal of personality and growth that they experience. The Shakespearian style of writing also is a strength to this game as it is particularly well done. Especially when you read a line and say to yourself, "that sounds all kinds of wrong," but then you realize it makes sense and was just written in a very intricate manner.
So I'll be honest, I never played Princess Crown, and I shouldn't have expected myself to since it was kind of before my time of imports, so I had no idea what I was getting in to with Odin Sphere. After playing it, the best way I can describe it is a cross between an old Final Fight rip off, mixed with the style of a game like Guilty Gear, with an old Capcom arcade brawler's leveling up aspects mixed in for good measure. This game really is nothing more than a very glorified beat-em-up that takes place on circular maps, hence the Sphere in Odin Sphere. This is a double edged sword for the game, because on one hand it is very easy to pick up and play, but on the other hand in large doses this game can get tiresome. And when you're fighting a boss you've fought with a previous character it tends to get old, especially when the game takes around forty hours to complete. A few of the recycled bosses the game really could have done without. So the short of it is, a whole lot of mashing the square button and make stuff die. You'll also be absorbing the souls (Phozons) of the dead to power the Psypher that each character holds. As you level up the Psypher you'll increase its power and learn new abilities. Though all of the characters learn the same abilities, except for Mercedes whose ability is slightly different due to her attack style, instead of her learning how to fire a cyclone she just fires a very strong bolt of energy.

COSHOCTON Journey back through time to The Live Nativity, Friday through Sunday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., marks the event members of Coshocton Christian Tabernacle have planned as their free Christmas gift to the community. The live nativity, in its 15th year, has become a holiday tradition for many in the past.
Luminaries light the way as visitors drive through the live scenes depicting the birth of Christ, and other well-known events of his life. This 10-minute journey begins at the market place in Bethlehem where the dreaded tax collector awaits, the Inn which is full for the evening leads to the stable where Joseph, Mary, and the baby Jesus find rest. A host of heavenly angels alert the shepherds guarding there sheep with good news of Jesus birth, while the Wise Men worship the newborn Christ child. The journey is completed with scenes of the most told stories about Jesus the carpenters shop, Jesus walking on water, a soldier praying at the cross, Jesus at the tomb, and most importantly, Heavens Gates.
Over one hundred church members donate time, talent, animals, and costumes to bring the gift of the Christmas story alive to the community. Guests are encouraged to drive through more than once. Videotaping and photos are allowed; keeping in mind the flow of traffic must be maintained.
The Coshocton Christian Tabernacle is located at 23891 Airport Road, Coshocton, (across from Walmart). For more information call, 740-622-4133.

Agapanthus (African lily) are summer-flowering perennial plants, grown for their showy flowers, commonly in shades of blue and purple, but also white and pink. They thrive in any well-drained, sunny position in the garden, or grow these beauties in containers.
Agapanthus are herbaceous perennials originating from Southern Africa. Both deciduous and evergreen, some have thick, strappy leaves and others grass-like foliage. They range from fully hardy to half hardy, with the evergreen varieties generally the most tender.
Agapanthus thrives in fertile, well-drained, but moisture-retentive soil in full sun. Plant crowns in spring, 5cm (2in) below the ground and avoid planting in shade, as plants will either grow poorly or develop a mass of lush foliage at the expense of flowers.
Both deciduous plants and the more tender varieties with evergreen leaves are best protected over winter with a dry mulch of sand or straw. Apply a 15-22cm (6-9in) deep layer around plants in autumn or early winter and remove in spring before growth starts. A few layers of horticultural fleece can also be thrown over the leaves of the evergreen varieties.
For the best flower displays, feed weekly or fortnightly with a balanced liquid feed during the growing season until flowers begin to show colour. Water agapanthus plants regularly during the growing season, but only sparingly in winter.
If your soil is prone to winter waterlogging, or you live in a cold area and want to grow tender varieties, try growing agapanthus in large containers. For single plants choose pots 20-23cm (8-9in) in diameter and fill with John Innes No.2 or No.3 potting compost. Place in a light, dry, frost-free place in late autumn - a cold frame or greenhouse is ideal. Avoid overwintering in warm conditions or overpotting, as this can reduce flowering.
Agapanthus are easy to propagate by division. Divide between spring and early summer, or in early autumn, after plants have finished flowering. Ensure there are a couple of growing points in each division. Avoid splitting plants too often as this will reduce flowering. Large clumps should only be split every four to six years. Agapanthus species (not named cultivars, as these will not come true to type) can be propagated by seed. Collect pods as they turn brown in autumn and allow them to split apart indoors. Store in a cool, dry place and sow in spring in a temperature of 15°C (55°-59°F). Protect seedlings in their first winter in a cold frame or unheated greenhouse. Flowering from seed takes two to three years.
There are a good number of agapanthus to choose from in the RHS Plant Selector. Here are four to consider;
RHS Plant FinderAGM Plants
Agapanthus 'Blue Bird'
Agapanthus 'Loch Hope' at Wisley
Agapanthus 'Loch Hope'
Agapanthus have few problems, although frost damage is a common issue in cold winters, even for the more hardy types. A poor display of flowers and pale streaks on the leaves can be a result of virus and plants that have these symptoms are often best replaced.
Agapanthus can be shy to flower if subjected to drought conditions following flowering. To ensure a good display next year, keep plants moist until autumn after flowers start to fade, which will encourage the development of new flower buds.
There is a common misconception that agapanthus flowers better when pot-bound. Although they like to be cosy in the pot, flowering poorly when over-potted or over-divided, they also flower poorly when excessively pot-bound. Try repotting, plus watering and feeding in spring, to improve flowering.
Too much shade, cold weather and lack of winter protection are also common reasons for agapanthus to fail to flower.

I think those are C-130 Hurcules aircraft from the Birmingham or the Montgomery guard. Anniston is one of the few aircraft with an ILS in this part of the state. They seldom touch down but practice approach to landing. They are usually finished by 9:30 PM I think.
They fly over my house on the opposite side of the airport from you. I don't have a problem with it though since I like airplanes!

Everywhere Smith and the Mustangs ran on the field at Mackay Stadium, the Raider defense was there to corral them. Damonte managed 260 yards total offense on the night, with Smith accounting for just 58 yards on 25 carries, including a mere five yards in the second half. While the standout running back had ran wild on the rest of the North to the tune of 2,024 yards on the ground (184.9 per game) and 26 touchdowns, the Blue and Gold broke the Mustang.
"They're a good football team," Damonte coach Shawn Dupris said of the Raiders. "Scheme wise, they did a good job of what they were going to do. We expected to see what they did, but they just beat us at the point of contact."
Shedding blocks and constantly pestering the Mustangs in the back field, Reed forced three turnovers and held the Damonte offense, that had averaged over 25 points a game, to a field goal and a touchdown that came with 0:00 on the game clock en route to a 50-9 victory.
"This is what our defense has been doing all year," Reed defensive captain Drew Bryant said. "It was just cool to do it this big in this game because I was with all of my brothers out there. It's just great to defensively dominate out there and to just have this win. To be able to look to my left and my right and see all of my friends, guys that I grew up with. Playing with them and sharing this repeat was the most important thing. I love everybody on this team."
In its second consecutive regional championship game, Reed shut down the opposing team's main offensive weapon. Last season, the Raiders met Carson with the chore of stopping standout Senator running back Dylan Sawyers. In that contest, Reed pitched a shutout and held the all-state tailback to less than 100 yards for a 49-0 win. This time around, the Raiders bottled up the elusive Smith. Reed head coach Ernie Howren said the strong play of his defense comes down to two things.
"First off, we have a great defensive staff. Our defensive coaches just put together a great game plan," Howren said. "And second, obviously, game-planning can't work unless you have great kids. The kids just execute the game plan and fly around. They play their tails off every game. They understand what types of plays that the other team is going to be running and how to attack them. Then they just go out and get the job done."

(Great camera work to get the 6-7 Lindback to fit in a single frame)
Tampa Bay has solved their starting goalie problem, acquiring 6-7 Anders Lindback from the Nashville Predators. The full trade breaks down as follows:
Lindback, AHL forward Kyle Wilson, and a 7th round draft pick in exchange for two 2012 2nd round draft picks, a 2013 3rd round pick, and Sebastian Caron's expiring contract.
The Lightning get:
A mammoth 25-year-old goaltender with upside. Lindback is going to be Tampa Bay's starting goalie in front of Mathieu Garon, who has one year left on his deal. The Lightning obviously didn't want to give up the assets to acquire Roberto Luongo or Jonathan Bernier. Lindback is untested but he has performed well in limited duty behind Pekka Rinne.
Three pretty good draft picks seems like a steep price to pay for a goaltender with less than 40 NHL appearances under his belt, but Tampa Bay didn't lose any roster assets.
Lindback was originally drafted back in 2008 in the 7th round. He spent five seasons in the SEL before coming over to Nashville in 2010-11. Lindback has a 16-13-2 record in two seasons with the Predators.
He looked good in 2010-11 filling in for an injured Rinne, but struggled last year with long stretches between appearances.
Wilson is an AHL player.
Read this for a terrific scouting report on Lindback.
The Predators get:
Some great draft picks (37th and 50th overall this year, originally Minnesota and Philadelphia picks, and a 3rd round pick next year) for a goaltender that wasn't ever going to play more than 20 games in a season for them.
Caron isn't under contract right now but the team will have his rights if they choose to sign him. Prospect Jeremy Smith may have the inside track at the backup spot behind Rinne, or the team may look to bring a veteran in.
Fantasy Players Impacted:
A huge boost to Lindback, obviously. Tampa is taking a huge risk going in with him as the starter next season, but things can't get any worse than they were with Dwayne Roloson in 2011-12. If Lindback plays well, this helps every player on the Lightning (more confidence in a goaltender goes a long way to allowing players to relax on ice and play their roles more naturally).
The Lightning have a trio of young goalies in the pipeline for 2012-13 – Riku Helenius, Dustin Tokarski, and Jaroslav Janus. Who knows what happens with them right now. Janus and Tokarski backstopped the Admirals (AHL) to a Calder Cup, while Helenius is returning from Europe (and the second year of his two year deal is one-way). Janus is a restricted free agent this summer… maybe he is the odd man out?
For the Predators, this could be a huge opportunity for Jeremy Smith, but I would expect the team to at least get an idea of what the veteran goalie market looks like.
From Justin Goldman on Twitter:
"My first impression is that TB gave up a lot for a goalie that doesn't have a lot of NHL experience. Great opportunity for Anders though."
From Kevin Woodley (NHL.com writer and In Goal Magazine writer) on Twitter:
"I like Lindback's size, mentality + game, so don't mind price Tampa paid, but no guarantee he's ready for 50+ games as No.1."
Mike Gillis won't be happy, as this takes away one of only a few likely landing spots for Luongo.
Fantasy Players this helps:
1. Lindback
2. Smith
Fantasy Players this hurts:
1. Riku Helenius
2. Dustin Tokarski
2. Jaroslav Janus

Gangster Squad
Gangster Squad (No Rating)
Los Angeles, 1949. Ruthless, Brooklyn-born mob king Mickey Cohen runs the show in this town, reaping the ill-gotten gains from the drugs, the guns, the prostitutes and-if he has his way-every wire bet placed west of Chicago. And he does it all with the protection of not only his own paid goons, but also the police and the politicians who are under his control. It's enough to intimidate even the bravest, street-hardened cop - except, perhaps, for the small, secret crew of LAPD outsiders led (more...)by Sgt. John O'Mara and Jerry Wooters, who come together to try to tear Cohen's world apart.No show times found for selected day.

From that premise, Microsoft aims to improve datacenter efficiencies for its Windows Azure cloud computing and online services offerings by optimizing the datacenter's hardware and software.
One of the group's ideas is to reduce power consumption in the datacenter by essentially clustering a bunch of laptop computers. CCF is experimenting with using Intel's Atom processor, used in netbooks, because of its huge power savings.
"CCF has built two server clusters using low-power, Intel Atom chips and is conducting a series of experiments to see how well they support cloud services and how much their use can reduce the power consumed by those services," Reed explained in the interview.
Atom can use 5 watts of power vs. 50 to 100 watts used by other processors typically found in the datacenter. The Atom processor's power savings from its sleep mode is also a benefit.
To utilize that sleep mode, the CCF developed a solution called "Marlowe" that calculates when to put the computers to sleep. The task is made tricky because "it takes 5 to 15 seconds to awaken a processor from sleep and 30 to 45 seconds for hibernate," Reed explained.
He added that "the system needs to hold some processors in reserve and to anticipate the workload 5 to 45 seconds in the future to ensure that sufficient servers are available."
CCF is also working to create software specifically designed for the datacenter, such as Monsoon, a more simplified communications protocol. A paper (PDF) on the topic describes Monsoon as "a blueprint for commoditizing the networks of data centers used for 'cloud' services where large numbers of servers cooperatively handle huge workloads."
Reed also described a software platform called Orleans that is designed to make building services easier. The Orleans platform runs on Microsoft's Windows Azure operating system in the cloud and "provides the abstractions, programming languages, and tools" to build the services.
Datacenters were originally built using off-the-shelf technology, but it wasn't very power efficient, according to Reed.
"One common analogy is that if one built utility power plants as we build data centers, we would start by going to Home Depot and buying millions of gasoline-powered generators," he explained.
That older approach to the datacenter has run its course. By its research, the CCF team hopes to reduce power consumption four-fold or greater, according to Reed. The group also expects to see lower cost commoditized datacenter solutions as a result of its investigations.
For more information, see the CCF home page here.

And what difference would a degree in "health and p.e." make? He could finish it easily by going back and reetaking that basket weaving class he flunked.
Rutgers coach Eddie Jordan never graduated from Rutgers, contrary to school's claim
Rutgers hired coach Eddie Jordan to replace Mike Rice, after ESPN aired a video of the temperamental coach throwing basketballs at players and swearing at them. Rutgers brought in Jordan hoping that he would bring an end to the scrutiny and represent Rutgers well.
Jordan's bio on Rutgers' website calls him a 1977 grad who earned a degree in health and physical education. However, Deadspin has reported that Jordan's transcript, obtained from the University, gives no indication that Jordan ever finished his degree.
Furthermore, a call to the registrar's office made the situation quite clear. From Deadspin:
"He did not receive a degree from us," an official there [said].
At the presser following his hire, Jordan thanked the Rutgers community for their patience as he worked out contract negotiations. He cited due diligence as playing a role in the length of time it took for him to be hired. From Deadspin:
"I want to thank [Rutgers president Robert] Barchi for his belief and trust in me. I'd like to thank our Board of Governors and our Board of Trustees who understood the meaning of due diligence. People have taken some criticism on the length of time, but the due diligence was very important in their minds and in their actions to get this thing right. And I'm glad that they chose me."
For a University already under the microscope and concerned with due diligence, Rutgers overlooked the fact that Jordan, broadcast as an alumnus, never actually completed his degree, falling around 10 credits short of graduation, according to Deadspin.
Eddie Jordan will set Rutgers basketball back 20 year with his clueless inept style of dumbness.
What Jordan may or may not claim re: his graduation status isn't the issue. The issue is that Rutgers is telling the world that they did their appropriate due diligence. That is what is causing the flap.
Eddie Jordan will set Rutgers Basketball back 50 years. Eddie is not qualified to coach.
This could be a simple mistake on the part of whom ever wrote Eddie Jordan's bio. If Eddie stated that he "graduated" with a degree in Health Science, then yes, I agree that he should be terminated. However, if he did not state that he graduated, but was majoring in Health Sciences and the author of the bio assumed that he graduated, he should not be terminated. Finally, if he stated that he was/is an alumni of Rutgers, he did not lie. The Webster's definiteion for Alumni is: a graduate or former student of a specific school, college, or university. After the O'Leary debacle, that should have been a wake up call for coaches and universities to be diligent with vetting all applicants. Stop the witch hunt folks and let the process run its course. Rutgers will ultimately do the right thing, whether retaining Eddie or termination him based on his resume. I like to think that they did their due diligence and is simply moving forward. I find it difficult to believe that they did not know that he was 10 credits shy of his degree. If I were a betting guy, I would be willing to bet that he will complete those 10 credits very soon.
Rutgers used to be a school of high academics and integrity and honor. Now Rutgers hireds a recycled old man Eddie No Degree Jordan. Having a head coach with no college degree at a fine academic institution like Rutgers is a shame.
He doesn't need a degree to be considered alumni.
They have to fire him. No excuses. He lied on his resume and that means dismissal. No exceptions or Rutgers loses whatever credibility it has left.
Coaches who lie on their resume are liars period. Post Jordans transcript and show us how dumb Eddie is?
Come on Eddie Jordan is a bum and always has been a coaching bum. Rutgers made a stupid hire but no one else wanted the job. Jordan is a floater just hanging floating at the top of the coaches toilet bow. Flush Jordan now?
just another liar. should fire this chump, but they won't. press will drop this quickly because of his color.
Was it Georgia Tech that had hired a football coach and they found his bio said he had a masters degree but he really didn't, so they fired him?
Is the problem that he doesn't have a degree or is it that the degree was not attained at Rutgers?
I guess he better cram in 10 credits this summer. Summer school probably starts next week. He will do it if he really wants to coach for Rutgers
@Hoyter I recommend you look up "alumni" in a dictionary.
@Hoyter explain
@Rickapolis did he lie, or did the University misprint something based on an assumption? Not trying to be a butt, the article was just really unclear on who actually claimed Jordan graduated from the school. If it was jordan they need to O'Leary him lol
This is the new America don't you know, say what you want ,do what you want, lie to whomever you see fit, just like the leader of this once great country. Yeah I brought politics into it , so what truth is truth
@JohnRobert Really? Did you look it up before you typed that? Didn't think so. As I'm sure you know, alumni is the plural for alumnus, which is defined as follows: http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/Alumni?s=t If you don't believe that citation, here's another: http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alumni But, of course you already knew that.
@rainman @Sun Devils When did the USA stop being a great country?
And i am guessing you only brought in politics because it applies to this situation in some other way other than they are both Black. Why not compare him to the leader of congress or some other political figure? Just a heads up. You did not bring in politics....you brought in racial prejudices.
@cry1baby2usa @rainman @Sun Devils
Wow. Just wow.
@JohnRobert @cry1baby2usa Try reading something without the byline of FoxNews some time. Start with this link and go from there... http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alumni
@JohnRobert @cry1baby2usa Wow. Just wow.
@eddiej He IS AN ALUMNUS! http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/alumni
@JohnRobert @cry1baby2usa "It stopped when we got career politicians like Barney Frank. (Note that he has accomplished NOTHING EVER, while in congress, except having homosexual liaisons with as many staff workers as humanely possible)."
I'm curious as to the ratio of humane vs inhumane in regard to former congressman Frank's homosexual liaisons. Additionally, I would also like to know how one differentiates between such acts. Does JohnRoberts have past experience with humane and inhumane homosexual liaisons? Please, JohnRoberts, explain at what point a homosexual liaison, which is considered to be humane, crosses the line and becomes inhumane.
@JohnRobert It hasn't changed if anything it's stayed the same.Idiots like you just have a forum to spout your racist views in a public,yet still hidden way.This is a sports article yet you bring racist/political rants in anyway.By the way most of everything you touch has been touched by someone of another race.Anyway Eddie Jordan never said he was an Alumnus of Rutgers,they did.
And what this article has to do with Eddie Jordan is beyond me! Wow!
@cry1baby2usa When so many immigrants have changed the face of the country. When class loses out to greed. When style trumped substance. When our idiotic media (whoops, that's redundant) actually believes that Obama was born in the USA despite a huge amount of evidence to the contrary. (Born in Hawaii, but got a Connecticut SSN. That could happen). When out idiotic media (again, redundant) will not report or publish any of the overwhelming evidence that Barack Hussein Obama was born in Kenya - like his Grandmother's statement that she saw him, how ELSE would that be possible? It would not. When the slogan of the Democrats switched from "Ask not what your country can do for you, but what YOU can do for YOUR country" (think JFK) to its current "What handouts can I get from my government"? It stopped being a great country when it began "outsourcing" all of our manufacturing (and JOBS) to other countries. It stopped being a great country when it allowed plea bargains. It stopped when people like Barack Hussein Obama are seen as being "pro" USA when he is clearly as "anti" USA as possible. It stopped when we got career politicians like Barney Frank. (Note that he has accomplished NOTHING EVER, while in congress, except having homosexual liaisons with as many staff workers as humanely possible). It stopped when Abortion became legal. (You can criticize me if you want, but a "fetus" is a living human being). How many things have I missed? It stopped when we, as a populace began believing the stupidity of "change change change", the stupidest campaign slogan of all time, and clearly, Obama has changed nothing. His politician cronies are among the most crooked (and inept) of all time. It stopped when we, as a country became "Barack Obama stupid".

The vengeful spirit comes. Seeing this is an anime forum and thus full of people who are most likely familiar with Japanese media; I chose to take this forum. It matters not who you are... if you enter where I died I will kill you! Of course I'm on the forum when I don't feel like killing but still... don't anger me so with that being said; hello to all...

Wassup peeps! I've been a long time lurker of this site, mostly to read other's opinions and the ridiculous images in various subforums.
Decided to create an account finally and hopefully, partake in some discussions.
My current major lurking area is Gundam, Attack on Titan and Toriko. I used to go to Bleach until the anime ended.
