Denver is unstoppable.
Baltimore is toast.
San Diego chokes. So do Washington and the New York Giants.
Detroit and Kansas City have finally turned the corner.
It's so tempting to look at what happened in Week 1 of the NFL season and extrapolate the way the rest of the fall will unfold. We do it every year, forever forgetting that the snapshot we get in the first couple of weeks of the regular season is almost always deceiving.
Let's look back at some of what we gathered from the first two weeks of the 2012 season, and how our initial impressions weren't always on target:
•Watch out, single-season sack record. Green Bay's Clay Matthews had a combined six sacks in the first two games. (He would have just one more multi-sack game, collecting two against Chicago in Week 9. He finished with 13.)
•In a Week 2 loss to Atlanta, three Peyton Manning passes were picked off in the first quarter. The Denver Broncos overpaid for him, and his decline was going to be sad to watch. (Manning finished the season with 37 touchdowns, 11 interceptions, an AFC-best passer rating of 105.8, and was edged out for most valuable player by Adrian Peterson.)
•Peterson, coming off reconstructive knee surgery, had a decent start to 2012. He had 84 yards against Jacksonville and 60 against Indianapolis. He would have a respectable season. (He ended up nine yards short of breaking the single-season rushing mark, finishing with 2,097.)
•The New York Jets were on fire, setting a franchise record for points in an opener in a 48-28 thumping of Buffalo. Mark Sanchez threw for three touchdowns, and his team also rolled out the "Tebowcat," with Tim Tebow lining up variously at quarterback and receiver, and even recovering an onside kick. (Sanchez finished the season with 13 touchdowns and 18 interceptions. Tebow, a non-factor, was shown the door.)
•Chicago opened the season with a 41-21 victory over Indianapolis, intercepting three passes by No. 1 pick Andrew Luck. "The Bears offense is something to be seriously reckoned with," trumpeted one popular website. (Chicago finished 28th in total yards. Indianapolis finished 10th, made the playoffs, and Luck was a finalist for offensive rookie of the year.)
•Arizona beat Seattle in the opener — quarterback Kevin Kolb outplayed Seahawks rookie Russell Wilson — and the Cardinals were off to a great start. They would win their first four games ... and lose 11 of their next 12.
So, after throwing seven touchdown passes in the opener, is Manning off to a record-setting season?
Are the Chargers once again going to be unable to slam the door on teams, despite the regime change in San Diego?
Can Dallas — which beat the Giants in last season's opener, then did so again last Sunday — finally make good on the promise it showed?
We simply don't know, and if we use Week 1 as a road map, we just may wind up in the middle of nowhere.
Watch for...
Five things that have yet to happen:
1. Jay Cutler hasn't been sacked. Cincinnati couldn't get to Chicago's quarterback last Sunday. In his last two full seasons (15 games each), Cutler was sacked 90 times.
2. Jacksonville hasn't scored a touchdown. In their 28-2 home loss to Kansas City in an opener, the Jaguars didn't move the football past the 50 until the fourth quarter.

I worked at Agilent Technologies full-time for more than a year
Pros – Agilent Technologies is a large company that offers a lot of benefits to its employees including stock options, great healthcare package, and bonuses.
Cons – A lot of processes at Agilent are not efficient and need to be improved but the existing infrastructure makes it difficult for change to be propagated. Also the fact that it's split into 2 divisions creates unique challenges from a reporting perspective.
Advice to Senior Management – Take time to get to know your employees.
No, I would not recommend this company to a friend
I have been working at Agilent Technologies as an intern for less than a year
I have been working at Agilent Technologies full-time for more than 8 years

Here is a personal environment concept for my portfolio. Had fun with this one
nice SB
love your head studies #546
and those environments #549
keep up the good work!
your environments are improving fast! may i ask what that "tonalist" thing is?
Xcarbon: Thanks! I'll keep pushing
PontusEuxinus: Thanks! Tonalism is basically keeping your values closer together through the piece and focusing on less of a high contrast image. Here is a link for more info. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tonalism
Here are some concepts that I did last year, but haven't been able to post them until now. It was a class project that we pitched to Valve for their game Team Fortress 2. We all had to design a main weapon, a secondary weapon, and a vanity item.
Well TAD has come to an end for me. It has been a crazy 2.5 years and I can't believe it is all over. It went so fast. I want to thank all the teachers, mentors, and community members that helped to push me to this point. I will continue to work hard to improve and see how far I can go.
As a New Year starts one of my main goals is to become a stronger designer. So to practice this I will be doing 30 - 90 minute lunch sketches between freelance work. I will be trying to push my lighting, forms, composition, design, and mood. So here it goes.

Running Services After the Network is up
So you have configured your service to run after
network.target but it still gets run before your network is up? And now you are wondering why that is and what you can do about it?
network.target unit is the systemd counterpart of LSB's
$network facility. However as this facility is defined only very unprecisely people tend to have different ideas what it is supposed to mean. Here are a couple of ideas people came up with so far:
- All "configured" network interfaces are up and an IP address has been assigned to each
- All discovered local hardware interfaces that have a link beat have an IP address assigned, independently whether there is actually any explicit local configuration for them
- The network has been set up precisely to the level that a DNS server is reachable
- Similar, but some specific site-specific server is reachable
- Similar, but "the Internet" is reachable
- All "configured" ethernet devices are up, but all "configured" PPP links which are supposed to also start at boot don't have to be yet
- A certain "profile" is enabled and some condition of the above holds. If another "profile" is enabled a different condition would have to be checked
- Based on the location of the system a different set of configuration should be up or checked for
- At least one global IPv4 address is configured
- At least one global IPv6 address is configured
- At least one global IPv4 or IPv6 address is configured
And so on and so on. All these are valid approaches to the question "When is the network up?", but none of them would be useful to be good as generic default.
Modern networking tends to be highly dynamic: machines are moved between networks, network configuration changes, hardware is added and removed, virtual networks are set up, reconfigured and shut down again. Network connectivity is not unconditionally and continuously available, and a machine is connected to different networks at different times. This is particularly true for mobile hardware such as handsets, tablets and laptops, but also for embedded and servers. Software that is written under the assumption that network connectivity is available continuously and never changes is hence not up-to-date with modern standards. Well-written software should be able to handle dynamic configuration changes. It should react to changing network configuration and make the best of it. If it cannot reach a server it must retry. If network configuration connectivity is lost it must react. Reacting to local network configuration changes in daemon code is not particularly hard. In fact many well-known network-facing services running on Linux have been doing this for decades. A service written like this is robust, can be started at any time, and will always do the best of the circumstances it is running in.
network.target is a mechanism that is required only to deal with software that assumes continuous network is available (i.e. of the simple non-well-written kind). Which facet of it it requires is undefined. An IMAP server might just require a certain IP to be assigned so that it can listen on it. OTOH a network file system client might need DNS up, and the service to contact up, as well. For
network.target what precisely is required is not obvious and can be different things depending on local configuration.
A robust system boots up independently of external services. More specifically, if a network DHCP server does not react this should not slow down boot on most setups, but only for those where network connectivity is strictly needed (for example, because the host actually boots from the network).
In systemd
network.target by default does not have much meaning. If a service orders itself after it this will have little effect, by default. It is up to the admin to actually fill
network.target with sense, i.e. order a service before it that waits until the "network is up" based on the policy the admin chooses, based on the needs of the software that shall be ordered after it and its configuration. By defaulting to the empty meaning we hence provide a speedy boot that is not slowed down by external factors for the majority of cases, but by allowing
network.target to be defined by the administrator as he likes any policy is implementable instead.
Cut the crap! How do I make network.target work for me?
Well, that depends on your setup and the services you plan to run after it (see above). If you use NetworkManager one option is to enable
systemctl enable NetworkManager-wait-online.service
This will ensure that all configured network devices are up and have an IP address assigned before boot continues. This service will time out after 90s. Enabling this service might considerably delay your boot even if the timeout is not reached.
Alternatively, you can write your own service file wrapping any other program or script you like and simply order it before
network.target (with Before=). Your service also needs to pull in
network.target (with Wants=), to indicate that it implements this target.
What does this mean for me, a Developer?
If you are a developer, instead of wondering what to do about
network.target, please just fix your program to be friendly to dynamically changing network configuration. That way you will make your users happy because things just start to work, and you will get fewer bug reports as your stuff is just rock solid. You also make the boot faster for your users, as they don't have to delay arbitrary services for the network anymore (which is particularly annoying for folks with slow address assignment replies from a DHCP server).
Here are a couple of possible approaches:
- Watch rtnetlink and react properly to network configuration changes as they happen. This is usually the nicest solution, but not always the easiest.
- If you write a server: listen on [::], [::1], 0.0.0.0 and 127.0.0.1 only. These pseudo-addresses are unconditionally available. If you always bind to these addresses you will have code that doesn't have to react to network changes, as all you listen on is catch-all and private addresses.
- If you write a server: if you want to listen on other, explicitly configured addresses, consider using the IP_FREEBIND sockopt functionality of the Linux kernel. This allows your code to bind to an address even if it is not actually (yet or ever) configured locally. This also makes your code robust towards network configuration changes.

While North America and Europe will continue to account for a significant share of revenue, the emerging countries of China, India, Brazil and Russia are rapidly increasing share, growing at a CAGR of 22%.
The demand for single use products is increasing and fueling growth of the global bioseparations market. Blockbuster biologics are going off patent, leaving the market open for developing and manufacturing low cost biosimilars. The Asian countries of India, Singapore, South Korea and China are fast becoming biomanufacturing hubs, producing biosimilars for their own large populations and for Southeast Asia.
Bioseparations systems can be categorized into three types: chromatography, membranes/filters and centrifuges. In this report, each is examined in detail, including market size, drivers and restrictors, competitors and technology. In 2013, chromatography will contribute $1.8 billion to the global bioseparations market. Membranes/filters will contribute $1.4 billion, followed by centrifuges ($400 million).

No, Tuesday was the day my kids went back to daycare after a two-week break. For the first time in 18 days I was able to relax. And by relax, I mean go to the office and work like a normal human being.
One of the great things about being an editor in the 21st century is that I have the ability to do a lot of my work from home. This column, in fact, is being written between 9 and 5 — but not the 9 to 5 Dolly is singing about.
Because my schedule is so flexible, my kids only attend part-time daycare. That means they take several week- or weeks-long breaks from "school" throughout the year. And because The Star is such a family-friendly place to work, my bosses don't mind too much if I take a couple weeks to work from home, as I did recently while the kids were out — especially as they've learned it's a much quieter alternative than me bringing them to the office.
There's no way I could have worked from home with the kids for two weeks without going completely insane, so for the first week we headed to Tennessee to visit my family.
One morning as I was heading downstairs, I looked out the window over the same beautiful sunrise coming up over rolling green pastures that I saw all my childhood. But I saw something else, too — the apple tree, ripe for the picking.
Growing up, we never ate these apples. I remember them being small, green and misshapen, and much too tart. But this year they looked different. They were big and shaped like normal apples (for the most part) and many were turning pink on top. Maybe it was a combination of my new love of canning and my passion for free food, but those apples looked tasty, and I wanted to bring some home with me. My parents had no interest in harvesting, so right before we headed home, I grabbed an empty box and filled it two-thirds with apples — all I could reach with the help of a wobbly ladder and a broomstick.
Back in Alabama, my vacation from work was over, but the kids were still out of school for another week. I won't horrify you with the details of how I survived — it involved lots of candy, Disney and other forms of bribery to get them to leave me alone. By the end of the week, I had worked many late nights, including one spent canning eight pints and one quart of apples.
I didn't have to wait too long for a chance to pop open a jar for a taste-test — my mother-in-law celebrated her birthday last week, so instead of the usual birthday cake, I made her a birthday apple pie. It was delicious, proven by the fact that the entire pie was gone by the end of the night.
The only problem was the leftover pie crust. I'd made too much and while the leftover was not enough for another pie, it was enough that it felt like a waste to throw it out.
Since the first pie had gone over so well, I decided to take the same recipe and the leftover dough and make mini apple pies for the kids to take to school in their lunches. Problem solved. And the recipe was easy as … well, pie. Just cut 3-inch circles out of pie dough and tuck into the well of a mini muffin pan, folding and pressing crust as needed. Top with diced apple pie filling and bake at 450 F for 10 minutes.
With pies that tiny, I wouldn't feel guilty about eating one every Tuesday to commemorate my personal independence day.

There are several cities that provide a pollution index on news and weather stations. The index is used to let people know when the air is so polluted that it's safer to stay indoors. But these indexes don't take into account the studies that have shown indoor air to be potentially far more polluted than the air outside. Would you like a nursery for your child that is full of clean air? Here's your chance. A new contest!
This new contest from GREENGUARD offers the winner a chance to hand-pick each item in their child's nursery from a selection of GREENGUARD-certified (which means no off-gassing of harmful chemicals) items. All you have to do is enter the GREENGUARD Big Bundle of Joy $10,000 Nursery Giveaway. You don't even have to buy anything!
This is a great opportunity. You're not just getting $10,000 worth of 'stuff', it's $10,000 worth of some of the best, healthiest, safest stuff available for kids. You can do your entire nursery in attractive, high quality goods and materials that will not off-gas potentially harmful vapors in the room. Your child's room will look great – and you will have peace of mind!
You can win a crib mattress from Naturepedic, cribs and other furniture from Q collection junior, hardwood flooring from Anderson, and more.
Even if you're not the grand prize winner, it's still worth entering the contest: five second-place winners will get a Naturepedic mattress, and 30 third-place winners get Bona Hardwood Floor Cleaning System.
Although the GREENGUARD guys are probably full of heart, there's another reason they're doing this contest: they want to raise the awareness of indoor pollution. In the words of GREENGUARD's Executive Director, Henning Bloech:
"Indoor air can be two to five times more polluted than outdoor air, and up to 100 times more polluted following renovation or new construction. Much of that pollution comes from chemicals called volatile organic compounds, or VOCs, which can off-gas from furniture, furnishings, cleaning products, and other materials.
"Exposure to airborne contaminants like VOCs can cause or exacerbate a multitude of short- and long-term health complications—including asthma, the world's fastest growing incurable chronic disease among children. Other chemicals to which children are regularly exposed have not been thoroughly studied, so their potential health impacts are currently unknown. And because children's bodies are still developing, and because they inhale more air more rapidly than adults do, children are especially vulnerable.
Really, this isn't just about a game or a sweepstakes," Mr. Bloech added. "It's about the health of our children and the quality of the air they breathe."
The contest is over 1/31/2011. Take advantage of it, and tell your friends!

Healthy Eating Doesn't Mean Going Hungry
- By Matt Fitzgerald
- Published Jul. 3, 2013
- Updated Jul. 8, 2013 at 9:29 AM UTC
Reach your optimal racing weight without making yourself miserable.
Everyone knows the conventional prescription for weight management: Eat less and exercise more. But that prescription is changing.
No, doctors and health scientists have not begun to recommend that we now eat more and exercise less to manage our weight. Many diet experts are, however, slightly modifying the advice they've been giving for decades. The cause of the revision is a rapidly broadening scientific acceptance of the simple fact that most of us find it exceedingly difficult, if not impossible, to eat less without feeling unsatisfied.
So the new prescription for weight management is something more like this: Reduce the number of calories you eat in a way that still allows you to feel satisfied by your meals-and exercise more.
Doctors and health scientists use the term "satiety" to refer to that feeling of satisfaction, or lack of hunger, which every person needs in order to sustain healthy eating habits. The concept of satiety has received a lot of attention lately thanks to research demonstrating that very few people have the "willpower" to sustain a diet that leaves them feeling hungry most of the time. Barbara Rolls, Ph.D., the author of Volumetrics, has even called satiety "the missing ingredient in weight management." In other words, if you want to achieve or maintain a healthy body weight, you must combine eating less, exercise, and satiety.
"If you're not craving food and feeling deprived, it's a heck of a lot easier to stay with your eating plan," says Jonny Bowden, PhD, CNS, and author of The 150 Healthiest Foods on Earth.
Is it really possible to reduce the number of calories you consume each day without giving up satiety? Yes! In fact, new research suggests that by practicing a couple of simple eating strategies, anyone can eat less without feeling less satisfied by meals.
How Satiety Works
The feeling of satiety involves a number of natural physiological actions that start in the stomach and ultimately affect the appetite center in the brain. The presence of food in the stomach stimulates the release of special proteins in the digestive tract.
"Scientists call them appetite regulatory peptides, but you can think of them as feel-full proteins," says Bowden.
RELATED: Want To Lose Weight? Then Get Serious!
The most important feel-full protein is cholecystokinin (CCK), which Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen, authors of You: On a Diet, have nicknamed "the Crucial Craving Killer" due to its powerful hunger-squashing effect.
The release of CCK and other feel-full proteins initiates a number of actions. First they close the valve leading from the stomach into the intestine. This slows the digestion of food, giving us a feeling of fullness and extinguishing the drive to eat. The second action initiated by the feel-full proteins is to send a signal to the appetite center in the brain. This also tells us to stop eating, but, more importantly, it is responsible for the extended feeling of fullness that occurs between meals.
Normally, the feel-full proteins work very well to control appetite in a way that ensures we don't overeat. However, they have one weakness: the feel-full proteins take about 20 minutes to become fully active. Throughout most of human history, this time lag was not a problem, because the diet consisted mainly of low-calorie plant foods.
But today, our diet is full of calorie-dense processed foods and our hectic lifestyles cause us to eat meals very quickly. It's easy to consume more than 1,000 calories in five minutes in a meal purchased from a fast-food restaurant drive-thru window. By the time the fell-full proteins kick in, only the greasy wrappers are left.
Flip Your Hunger Switch
The good news is that you can also make the lag time in feel-full protein activation work to your advantage. The best way to do so, according to Bowden, is to effectively spoil your appetite by consuming a small appetizer 10 to 20 minutes prior to your main meal.
"Eating an appropriate appetizer will cause the CCK level in your gut to spike just as you sit down to eat your lunch or dinner, so you will feel full faster and eat less," Bowden explains.
Your appetizers should contain just enough calories (50 to 100) to stimulate your feel-full proteins. They should also contain the nutrients that are known to be the most powerful satiety activators.
RELATED: Beverage Consumption And Weight Management
"Research has shown that certain key nutrients are especially potent CCK activators," says Steven Peikin, M.D, professor of medicine at the Robert Wood Johnson Medical School in Camden, NJ, and author of The Feel-Full Diet.
The most effective satiety activators are long-chain fatty acids, which are monounsaturated fats found in high concentrations in olive oil, macadamia nut oil, flaxseed oil, almond oil, peanut oil and other healthy cold-pressed oils. Consuming a small amount of foods rich in these oils will activate your appetite control switch before you begin eating a meal. Other effective satiety activators include soy and dairy proteins.
Obesity researchers at the University of Manchester, England, recently performed a study to test the effects of a nutritional formulation (Forze GPS) containing long-chain fatty acids and soy protein on appetite when consumed as an appetizer.
"We found that the nutritional formulation slowed the movement of food through the stomach by 66 percent," says Tanya Little, Ph.D., the study's lead author. "This observation helps to explain why previous studies involving a similar formulation showed that it reduced food intake by up to 20 percent and extended the feeling of fullness for up to four hours after a meal."

Zend Platform & PHP in the Online Publishing Business
With over 40 million page impressions a month, and growing at 30% per year, sueddeutsche.de is Germany's largest online quality news site. sueddeutsche.de provides news, classified ads, and digital subscriptions. sueddeutsche.de develops its site with both internal resources and outside contracting partners who deliver code to be integrated into the main site.
Continuous change requires a dynamic technology platform
The sueddeutsche.de website is constantly changing as news, ads and other content is removed and added. In order to handle such a dynamic environment, sueddeutsche.de chose PHP for its flexibility and speed. Sueddeutsche.de has been using PHP since 1998.
Improving knowledge and quality with Zend Platform
A key challenge for the sueddeutsche.de program staff is to familiarize themselves with the code they receive from their external contracting partners. Stefan Kaps, System and Technology Manager, sums it up this way: "At sueddeutsche.de, we contract with partner companies to deliver new functionality within a short time frame. Zend Platform's PHP Intelligence provides the insight we need to indentify and fix errors in source code we didn't develop. Its audit trails and contextual reporting, pinpoint errors as soon as they happen, allowing us to start fixing problems before customers can tell us about them. This keeps our customers satisfied and reduces our support calls."
Zend Platform contaniually monitors each PHP application, reporting each error with full contextual information. The powerful integration with Zend Studio then allows the developers to rapidly codeand deploy a fix to the production environment. PHP Intelligence allows problems to be identified that have been triggered by actual user interaction on the website and eliminates the need to recreate an error based on often incomplete information that is gathered on a customer-generated support ticket. The end result is a higher quality site and better user experience.
"Zend Platform's PHP Intelligence provides the insight we need to identify and fix errors in source code we didn't develop."
Stefan Kaps System and Technology Manager, Sueddeutsche

US Lacrosse pleased by changes to helmet bill
US Lacrosse CEO Steve Stenersen confirmed Friday that Maryland Dels. Jon Cardin and Dana Stein have agreed to major modifications to the language in House Bill 1123, which the two Democrats co-sponsored. Stenersen said the delegates agreed to allow US Lacrosse to provide updated language for the bill that will drastically modify its original intent. Instead of mandating headgear use by youth and high school players, the focus of the bill will change to requiring mandatory sport-specific education, training and certification for youth and high school coaches, consistent with US Lacrosse education curricula. "They are effectively pulling the bill, which is wonderful news," Stenersen said. "We are thrilled that the delegates are willing to work with us and are supportive of this change."

Major League Soccer
United not considering move to Baltimore
Major League Soccer's D.C. United is no longer exploring the possibility of moving to Baltimore, according to The Washington Post. The franchise had flirted with the city as it attempted to persuade some government entity to give it a favorable deal on a new stadium. But the team's managing partner, Jason Levien, told the Post "the stars are aligning in a good way for us" in Washington and the team would focus on financing a project there with city assistance on infrastructure costs. Baltimore, spurred by high television ratings for the World Cup and a series of successful international matches in the city, commissioned a study of two stadium proposals in 2010. But neither project has gained financial backing.
Major League Lacrosse: The Charlotte Hounds announced a pair of trades through which the team will acquire attackman Ryan Young (Maryland) in addition to two 2014 college draft picks. The first part of the deal sent midfielder Stephen Berger (Washington College, Mount St. Joseph) to the New York Lizards for Young, midfielder Colin Briggs and a 2014 third-round college pick. The Hounds then traded Briggs to the Boston Cannons for a 2014 second-round college pick.
Women's football: Former Washington Redskins All-Pro wide receiver Garyk Clark was named coach the Baltimore Charm of the Legends Football League. Clark, who played in the NFL from 1985 to 1995, will replace Rick Reeder, who was released last week after a violation of the league's conduct policy.
Men's college basketball: Quinton Jackson scored a game-high 25 points and Charles Woods had 24 points and 11 rebounds to help No. 9 CCBC-Catonsville to a 91-77 upset of No. 1 Baltimore City Community College in a Maryland JUCO Conference quarterfinal in Bel Air. Catonsville (11-13) will play No. 5 Harford CC tonight at 6. BCCC (19-9) has the next two weeks off. The Panthers will take part in the 2013 Region XX tournament at Hagerstown Community College from Feb. 28 to March 3.

Inforonics: Spotlight on Employee Career Development
In the wake of the recent global economic meltdown, organizations of all types are outsourcing their IT needs, realizing that such technical processes are not in line with their core competencies and represent a good place to reduce costs. As such, outsourcing was expected to grow in usage in 2009, according to research by Gartner.
Littleton, Mass.-based Inforonics is one firm poised to capitalize on this growth area with the help of a select group of IT professionals. Ninety percent of the company's staff is dedicated to IT work as it relates to its outsourced managed IT services and technical support. These services include business service modeling, applications performance management and infrastructure management, and they are provided to large companies throughout the U.S. The company also has international ties via service calls from its clients' clients.
Matthew Hooper, vice president of professional services for Inforonics, stressed that the company is a boutique firm. "We're not just doing [quick] fix PC things for lawyers and doctors. Our clients are usually software manufacturers or larger enterprises" with larger, business-related IT issues.
Hooper said his firm has a record of long-term employees and has a reputation as a great company to work for. One reason for this reputation is the effort Inforonics makes to ensure upward mobility in the company through a tiered workforce and a focus on training across the career.
"For retention purposes, we're always providing good opportunities to move up internally," said Hooper. "The typical career path…

Richland, Walla Walla Win, Advance In State 4A Softball
Down but certainly not out. The Richland Bombers found themselves down 6-2 early in their second round game with Rogers (Puyallup). Bottom of the 3rd with 3 runners on base, Richland first baseman, Caitlyn Stevens steps up to the plate and delivers a grand slam tying up the game 6-6. The Bombers never looked back.
In the Bombers' half of the fourth, they would tack on one more forcing a pitching change from the Rams. By the time the fifth rolled around, Richland had built up a 10-6 lead. It would stay that way until the sixth.
A single, a wild pitch moving the Rogers' runner into scoring position would bring about a switch from starting pitcher Kayla Andrews to Paige Goulet. Coming in with a 2-2 count, Goulet threw one pitch and got the strikeout. But she would give up a single, an outfield throwing error, a double and the end of the inning found Richland's lead cut to 10-8.
Bottom sixth, the Bombers put together hit after hit, including a nifty hit-and-run and they built their lead to 13-8. Rogers would score two more off of Goulet. One more pitching change with Andrews returning and Richland comes away with the win. They face Woodinville Saturday morning at 9am in one of the semi-finals in Spokane.
In the top half of the bracket is where Walla Walla lies. In a dominant performance by starting pitcher Alyson Ambler, the Blue Devils overwhelmed the Bothell Cougars with a 13-0 victory in the second round. Ambler's turned in a picture-perfect performance with a perfect game. The offense was on a roll as WW was up 5-0 after only four innings. It only got worse from there for the Cougars as the game would be called for the ten-run rule. Walla Walla will play the Jefferson Raiders, a 10-8 winner over the Monroe Bearcats in the second round. Their game is also at 9 am on Saturday.
If both Richland and Walla Walla win, they will face off for the state championship in Spokane tomorrow at 5 pm.

UPDATED: Florida couple die in plane crash

I play it on a bigger mat for my baby's discovery time, all the features attract her and make her go and catch it. She loves it and I regret I did not find this playmat earlier since she was born.
This is a great looking g playmat/gym which keeps baby entertained and comfortable for her playtime.
My little girl played on this at a friends house and I had to get it. The mat makes crinklu noises when she kicks her legs, it's also much more padded than other playmats so a nice comfy surface. The toys ate just the right heightfor her to reach. Lovely eye catching design and colours holds baby's attention for longer than some toys. Great for tummy time too as the pillow enables you to attatch the toys to it
very happy with product
No bad points. Very soft padding for baby to lie on. Lovely music sound. Very cute for little girls x

I have a marketing strategy in place, but why isn't it working?
I think the book is a great read for any business and some of the core themes explored are just as appropriate for the world of sales and marketing as they are for general business managment.
I often have businesses come to Manning & Co for a strategy/plan - whether it be for marketing, communications, PR or a general business one. I explain to these businesses from the outset that no matter the blood, sweat and tears that we will put into creating the most brilliant strategy for their business, unless it is implemented well, the strategy is not always going to be a success.
It is a common practice that when businesses fail to deliver on targets and goals, people are quick to jump to blaming the strategy and saying that the strategy is wrong. However as summed up in Larry and Ram's book,
- Strategy
- People
- Operations
- Sales
I am developing a more detailed article on this...so watch this space for part two of this post!

As the team members investigate Clare's disappearance, they begin to uncover conflicting evidence about her sanity. A hospital worker and her boyfriend think there is nothing wrong with her, but others believe she is extremely ill.

"It just didn't turn out right this time," Handley's standout offensive lineman said on Monday.
Against Dallas County on Friday night, Bozeman's left knee twisted then "popped," he said. Despite early assessments to the contrary the four-star Alabama commit had torn his ACL spelling the end of his senior season.
Surgery is scheduled today at noon with Dr. E. Lyle Cain Jr. in Birmingham, who was suggested by Alabama. Bozeman said the Crimson Tide coaching staff has sent encouraging words toward his recovery.
"It happens to people every year, and they come back stronger," Bozeman said. "They said they know my work ethic and they know I'll bounce right back from this."
When Bozeman (6-foot-5, 312 pounds) first went to the sideline on Friday, the training staff thought it was only a hyperextension. He reported feeling fine, and he was sent back into the game. After two series, Bozeman's knee popped again, and he was sidelined for good.
A Saturday morning second opinion wasn't definitive either at the beginning. "The doctor started pulling on it and said it's definitely not ligaments," Bozeman said. Then he underwent the MRI and the diagnosis was clear.
"(The doctor) said the muscles are so strong in my legs that they're compensating for the ACL," Bozeman said.
Bozeman said everyone was shocked by the news of the season-ending injury because no one expected it to be as serious as reality has shown it to be. Most thought at first just resting one or two weeks, he'd be back in the mix to lead Handley's quest back to the state title game and adding to their 2011 Class 3A state championship. But the goal is still the same, the role Bozeman plays in it is the only change.
"I'm trying my best to get to practice and trying to be that moral support and teach the younger kids what to do and how to do it," Bozeman said, "just kind of turn into a coach."

Horses may spend most of their day standing, but at Mimosa Hills Farm, they rarely just stand around. Crosby, the farm's owner, keeps the steeds constantly occupied, making them available casual trail rides across the farm as well as regular riding and driving lessons. But just as with a ten-gallon hat with a built-in spigot never loses its usefulness, the mounts' duties extend beyond the saddle. They also help teach husbandry lessons during educational farm days and provide the natural materials for making horsehair jewelry—a popular activity at Mimosa Hills. Perhaps most importantly, the animals serve as vital companions during the regional shows in which Crosby regularly participates.
At the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, Yogi Bear's Jellystone Park surrounds a 5-acre lake with a constellation of camping stations and activity centers. The Garcia family graciously plays host to guests who careen down the twists and turns of the park's 300-foot waterslide, play mini golf, or cast lines into the lake to catch waiting fish. Along with opportunities to connect with nature and name every tree after their fathers, the Garcias furnish visitors with space to set up tents, pop-ups, and RVs, or stay in the ground's own rough-hewn cabins. They also provide showers and laundry facilities to help campers maintain ties with civilization. The family becomes especially excited when pointing guests in the direction of North Carolina's Chimney Rock or Grandfather Mountain for hikes and breathless sightseeing adventures.
At Curves, exercisers of all fitness levels move around a circuit of hydraulic-resistance machines that have been designed to work with women's bodies and promote weight loss, protect against osteoporosis, and deal with arthritis. An experienced trainer is always nearby to help manage machine-maneuvering and muscle making. Instead of fiddling with weight stacks, filling medicine balls with medicine, and losing your momentum, the hydraulic machines account for different body weights and fitness levels to create resistance that matches one's abilities, which thereby decreases the risk of soreness or injury. Because traditional lift-and-lower motions create bulky muscles, each machine uses push-and-pull motions to create toned, lean muscles perfect for crushing a grapefruit without looking like you can.
Located just a short distance from Charlotte and Winston-Salem, The Spa at Rock Barn is considered a "hidden treasure." The Spa offers a variety a spa treatments along with an unforgettable state-of-the-art spa area including a heated indoor mineral pool, therapeutic waterfall whirlpool, Jacuzzi's, sauns and steam rooms.
River and Earth Adventures stands out from other wilderness outfitters by being completely operated by their own guides. Their fleet of seasoned cave, mountain, and water-navigating guides work in tandem with professional ecologists and geologists, focusing Blue Ridge Mountains excursions on environmental education as well as adventure. During all day trips, guides divulge area history and expound on forest and river ecosystems as well as geology in caves whose interiors rest at 60 degrees year-round to keep them free of snowman hermits. Each trip also immerses adventurers in athletic activity, whether on hikes to summits and secluded waterfalls, spelunking through electricity-free cave tunnels, or rafting and kayaking down the Watauga River rapids. For those in search of extended excursions, guides lead children's adventure day camps and combination trips that further an environmental focus and bottle-cap collections through river cleanup projects.
Since 2001, Extreme Snowboard and Ski has populated the slopes of Sugar Mountain Resort with snow sportsters outfitted with rental and retail equipment, as well as apparel from brands such as Neff, Loki, and Grenade. The ski shop's prime location at the entrance to mountain makes it a convenient stop for downhillers in need of rental skis or snowboards, a new pair of Spy or Smith goggles, or equipment tuning performed by the onsite repair technicians. The tech team treats skis and boards with the help of a Wintersteiger Micro 91, restoring their functionality and refining their bottoms until they can slide over snow with powder-cutting grace.

For nearly half a century in the United States, no voice was more revered, beloved, and respected than that of HaGaon Harav Moshe Feinstein, zt"l, Rosh Yeshivah of Mesivtha Tifereth Jerusalem and the acknowledged halachic decisor of his era.
His frequent talks at all sorts of occasions, communal and private, revealed a different side of his personality. He was warm and caring. In the Torah portions of the week he saw appropriate insights and messages for every setting. For the parents of a bar mitzvah boy, he found a message of responsibility to continue imbuing their young man with joys of Torah study and mitzvah performance. For the newly bereaved he found consolation and inspiration to continue. For those groping for a goal in life, he found the beauty of Judaism.
In the Hebrew Darash Moshe, many of these talks have been collected. They span seventy years of his illustrious career as a rabbi and rosh yeshivah, even as far back as his years of spiritual leadership in Luban, White Russia, where he quietly but firmly defied Stalins commissars to keep the flickering light of Judaism from burning out.
This work presents selections from Darash Moshe. It is impossible to do more than scratch the surface of his greatness, but just as our era was privileged to glimpse this epitome of Torah greatness, so a new generation of readers will find in this work many rays of thebrilliance that gladdened and quickened countless hearts and ignited countless minds.

How are you all eating these things?! Yogurt, soup, vegetables, kefir, Blech. I can't eat anything! So pulsatilla can work for the sickness? I may try to seek out some lactose free from somewhere. Today though I drank about 4 ounces of coffee and I feel great! I just might cave and start drinking a half cup a day again. Would that be horrible? I'm just so sick of being sick.
And I know that the small amount of lactose doesn't even bother my dairy sensitive dd. Not sure how sensitive you are.
