Five weeks ago, Southern Miss football coach Todd Monken set out on a mission.
Christian Talley isn't picky. Tuesday. Friday. Saturday. Give the Southern Miss starting pitcher an assignment, and he won't bat an eye.
There were more than a few instances, as I watched the annual Black and Gold Spring Game at Southern Miss Saturday afternoon, where I almost didn't recognize what was happening right before my eyes.
Jackie Parker, a Jones County Junior College athletic star from 1950-1952, has been selected for induction into the Mississippi Community College Sports Hall of Fame.
In three games and 22 1/3 innings, Ole Miss' starting pitchers allowed a total of three earned runs.

I said I was sorry. HAHA. If you think that was vile and abusive then you're really sheltered and you ain't seen nutthin yet. HAHA. I don't think you're paranoid now; I think you're lonely. Awww... Hey go to www.worldhunger.org this is what I'm worried about. While you and your republicans are worried about the price of gold or silver or world domination. Most of the people going hungry live in developed countries, because you want it all. If the rich are not willing to do what's right on their own. They should be made to. Plain and simple. Constitution or no Constitution. The world is changing and you nuts better catch up. Hunger can be linked every problem we have worldwide. If something isn't done about birth control to control hunger we are doomed.

International Location Advisory Services
The EY ILAS network's expertise covers fields such as:
- Development strategy
- Relocation strategy
- Network restructuring
- Cost/quality analysis
- Assistance for objective decisions
EY's European ILAS team is a veritable business partner when it comes to making decisions about their mobility. A network of experts placed throughout Europe assists company decision makers with their location strategies. The ILAS team goes beyond a simple tax approach by taking into account the full scope of factors affecting operations (accessibility, human resources, technologies, tax, real estate, labor environment, competition, cluster effect, etc.).
EY's 2013 European attractiveness survey
2012 was a very difficult year for Europe. Yet, this year's study shows that tough times have not destroyed investors' faith in the continent. It seems that they have become accustomed to the economic situation in Europe, learned to live with it, and do not want to miss out on the scarce, but rich, opportunities there.
A solid 3,797 FDI projects (-2.8% compared with 2011) creating 170,434 jobs (+8%) were announced in Europe in 2012. This is no small success for one of the world's most challenged regions.
What's more, according to our survey, investors' interest in Europe resurged after hitting historic lows in 2012. Despite the ongoing debt crisis, 37% of business leaders interviewed ranked Western Europe as the second most attractive FDI destination in the world. Another 28% considered CEE as the top location, arriving in fourth position ahead of Brazil, Russia and India.
Our 11th European Attractiveness Survey measures the reality of foreign direct investment (FDI), in terms of projects initiated and jobs created, and reveals the perceptions of more than 800 decision-makers.

Annual Peer Review Meeting
On April 22-25, 2013, the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)'s Geothermal Technologies Office held its annual Peer Review Meeting at the Renaissance Denver Hotel in Denver, Colorado.
How did we do?
Send us your Peer Review feedback and help us improve!
Email your comments
The annual Peer Review offers geothermal stakeholders an opportunity to learn about the projects funded by DOE across a wide spectrum of technical complexity and funding magnitude, from research and development to demonstration and analysis. The event also opens a dialogue with other respected researchers in geophysics, geochemistry, modeling, tools, and more. Each year, the Geothermal Technologies Office conducts this rigorous review by independent, qualified peers to assess key achievements in geothermal development and to meet strategic DOE guidelines.
The Office funds 154 research and development projects leveraging nearly $500 million in total combined investment. Each project represents a growing technology sector in conventional hydrothermal, low temperature and co-produced, or Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) technologies, as well as technical and non-technical research and analysis.

Renal vein thrombosis is a blood clot that develops in the vein that drains blood from the kidney.
Renal vein thrombosis is an uncommon disorder that may be caused by:
In adults, the most common cause is nephrotic syndrome. In infants, the most common cause is dehydration.
An examination may not reveal the specific problem, but may indicate nephrotic syndrome or other causes of renal vein thrombosis.
The treatment is focused on preventing new clot formations and reducing the risk of the clot traveling to other locations in the body (embolization).
You may get medications that prevent blood clotting (anticoagulants) to stop new clots from forming. Your doctor may recommend bedrest or limited activity for a brief period.
If severe acute renal failure develops, you may need dialysis, but it should be temporary.
Renal vein thrombosis usually gets better over time without permanently injuring the kidneys.
Call your health care provider if you have symptoms of renal vein thrombosis.
If you have experienced renal vein thrombosis, call your health care provider if you develop decreased urine output, difficulty breathing, or other new symptoms.
There is no specific prevention for renal vein thrombosis in most people. Keeping enough fluids in the body to avoid dehydration may help reduce its risk.
In people who have had a kidney transplant, aspirin is sometimes used to prevent renal vein thrombosis. In people with certain chronic kidney diseases, blood thinners such as warfarin may be recommended.

Another big plus: Because of their legal battles over patents, Apple (AAPL) is cutting its reliance on Samsung (5390.Korea) for chips. TSMC has been working on a new Apple chip for over a year and Apple-designed chips could start rolling out from TSMC's fabrication plants early next year. If Apple gives TSMC all its business, the contract could account for nearly 20% of the foundry giant's sales. That "makes the difference between TSMC growing at 10% a year or 20% a year over the next three years," says Abrams. Chip makers generally are growing at about 3% annually and fabricators at 7%.
Investors are on to TSMC's potential, but there is still some room for the shares to gain. The stock has risen 39% over the past year and trades at 14 times this year's earnings. After reporting $17 billion in revenue last year, TSMC is expected to top $20 billion this year and $24 billion next. Earnings are projected to rise 11% this year to $6.2 billion and jump 26% next. CLSA's Lu has a price target of 20 New Taiwan dollars ($4.05) on the shares, 16% above last week's level. HSBC's Paleyo foresees a 10.5% gain.
TSMC is so successful that Samsung and Intel are trying to push into its market. But being a pure-play chip maker that doesn't design its own wares or make other products gives TSMC advantages. Samsung, a huge producer of smartphones and tablets, has to overcome a lot of conflicts to win chip business from rivals.

"How much does Intel want to help ARM by manufacturing their chips?" asks Abrams.
There are worries about TSMC's margins given its 40% capital expenditure-to-sales ratio and big depreciation costs on its new $5 billion factories. So far, so good. Last year it produced a 48.6% gross margin, above its typical 48% rate. Clearly, "TSMC has shown that it can pass through higher costs because of its technology leadership," Pelayo says. That's a lot like Apple and Samsung.

KDE 3.5.9 with New PIM Functions
The developers have produced a further update for users who are not willing or able to move to KDE 4: KDE 3.5.9 mainly comprises bug fixes, but also adds a couple of new functions to the desktop environment.
The components of the KDE PIM suite (KMail, KOrganizer, KAddressbook, KAlarm and Kontact) are now more stable and offer new features from the enterprise branch. The innovations include a new bookmarks folder and drag&drop support for KMail. The KOrganizer user iterface has also been revised; as a result, calendar entries are easier to manage than in previous versions. Other components such as KAlarm, Kontact and KAddressbook also offer minor improvements. For example, KAlarm no longer annoys users with error messages and users can specify reminder times in minutes. The KDE-TechBase provides an overview of the new PIM features.
The Changelog lists the changes and bugfixes in KDE 3.5.9, which will be the last version in the KDE 3.5 branch. The source code for KDE 3.5.9 is available for downloading from various mirror servers.

Iowa has become a leader in the alternative fuels industry, doing far more than our share to reduce U.S. dependence on foreign oil. Using corn, the state can pump out 3.7 billion gallons of ethanol a year to fuel cars and trucks. Additionally, our state has been a major player in the evolution of energy production from wind. Roughly 20 percent of Iowa's electricity is currently produced by the state's wind farms.
But residents of the Hawkeye State are practical-minded people who understand the necessity of an "all of the above" energy policy for the nation. Mitt Romney, the Republican candidate for president, has pledged to pursue just such a strategy.
Romney wants to increase U.S. production of oil and natural gas - and make better use of clean coal technology. Two-thirds of Iowa's residents rely on power from coal-fired generating stations. That has helped keep electricity prices low, at an average of 7.88 cents per kilowatt hour.
President Barack Obama, on the other hand, has made no secret of his desire to cut back drastically on coal-fired power plants. Utility companies throughout the nation already have announced plans to close dozens of such generating stations. It appears Obama would prefer Iowa and other states to turn away from coal and to "alternative" sources of electricity.
Californians have done that already. Only about 1 percent of that state's electricity is generated from coal. The average price of power in California is 13.59 cents per kilowatt hour.
Iowans already have embraced alternative energy - but are practical enough to understand clean coal needs to remain part of the mix. Romney recognizes that, too, and should be elected president to pursue a true "all of the above" energy policy.

lmao at pron hub
only 4 movie trailers this year?
i guess ill be skipping the Superbowl this time around
what do those stupid product ads have to do with movies and screenrant ?
i was expecting there to be a promo for thor 2, superman and the other action and hero movies coming out this year… guess people where right when they said no one cares about american football anymore
I don't get it either. but american commercials can be either hilarious or dumb so I'll check them out hah
I heard the Thor 2 trailer will be out early april. close enough
This list will continue to be updated as more commercials are released.
That being said, many movie studios no longer believe the high cost of Super Bowl commercials to be worth it.
Am I losing it? I don't get the PornHub commercial. I know they are looking in different directions at the end, as if they're imagining something. Is that all there is to it?
You forgot the Doritos "Fashionista Daddy" commercial.
Fashionista Daddy is just one of five finalists in the "Crash the Super Bowl" contest.
We made Kate Upton celebrate the Super "Bowl" in this Super "Bowl" ad parody: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FYJi22ndjHM
Yes, It's tomorrow
All of these suck except for the Audi prom. Waste of a ton of money that should be put to better purposes. Jus sayin.
There better be some good movie trailers in the super bowl, all I ever look forward too. Heard Fast + Furious 6 will have one, hope that happens, along with the hopefully new Iron Man 3 trailer and some others…
Hey!!!! Voodoo Ravens!!!!! They replayed some of the commercials cuz of data black out!!! The go daddy.co one was disgusting!!!

The Patriots never trailed in the second half, seeing their lead trimmed to as a few five points with under nine minutes to play in the game on a layup by Lindsay Kitchens, but FMU responded down the stretch for the 84-68 victory to stay unbeaten.
Randolph led the way for North Georgia with her third double-double of the year, while Krystyn Young added 16 points and Syretha Marble chipped in 10.
Francis Marion led a balanced scoring attack with four players in double figures as Kevina Ranson tallied 16 points, Shannon Singleton-Bates had 15, Dominique Powell added 14, and Creshenda Singletary had 11 points and six rebounds.
The Lady Saints used free throws to stay in the game in the second period, going 22-28 from the foul line in the half and 29-39 in the game, while the Patriots were 13-20 overall from the charity stripe.
Francis Marion shot 53.1 percent from the field in the contest, while the Lady Saints managed just 38.1 percent.
North Georgia will look to get back on track as they travel to Carson-Newman for a December 17, matchup against the Eagles at 6:00 p.m. Carson Newman will enter the game at 8-2 after back-to-back losses, including a defeat against top-ranked Northern Kentucky.

At our recent local SCRA meeting we looked at visible and less visible processes by which the poor are excluded from academia and other enviornments. Some of the points that were raised in relation to the Southern Hemisphere and the Australian context included the following:
Exclusion of single parents and students from low socio-economic backgrounds at university – structural inhibitors (book expenses, child care limitations, parking issues and expense)
Academic exclusion – intellectual pro
Dear All,
We would be interested in hearing student voices about the demography of their cohort. Who do they feel gets excluded from academia and how? Do you have friends and others who attempted tertiary education but encountered to many structural and other barriers to continue? How could these barriers be addressed? How can greater social support be fostered to include those who have fewer resources (emotional, social, financial and other). What are your own experiences of feeling included and excluded within the academic environment? How are these boundaries perpetuated? Looking forward to a lively Southern and Northern hemispheric discussion!

Dunn dominates December medal
8:00am Thursday 26th December 2013 in Sport
AFTER last week's Medal result was dominated by Division One players, it was the turn of the Second Division to produce the best scores in December's Monthly Stableford.
Pete Dunn had a stunning back nine to total 44 points and return the best score of the day by some distance.
He headed Steve Mason by five in winning the second flight and securing the final award of the calendar year.
Yet again a Broom featured in the winner's enclosure with Roger taking his turn in the limelight after his 39 point score won him the third Division by three from Gordy Wheelaghan.
Andy Thomas overcame his troublesome niggling back injury to take victory over his good friend Paul McLanaghan in Division One with a score of 37 points.
Club Chairman Tony Roper was the victor in the final Seniors Medal of the year with a nett 67.
The mist hung around for a short time after play had started but it didn't affect Roper as he beat his handicap by 3 to win by one.
He also recorded the only two of the event at the par 3 17th, which is being very kind to him of late with this being the third birdie in the last month he has scored there.
The lowest gross score of the day was compiled by Barrie Yearsley as he took 78 strokes to complete the round. With his handicap of 10 deducted he just missed out tying the leading score and had to be content with the runners up prize.
Third place was secured by Mike Allen after his nett 69.
Results 17.12.13 Seniors Medal 1, Tony Roper 84-17-67 2, Barrie Yearsley 78-10-68 3, Mike Allen 86-17-69 21.12.13 December Medal Div One 1, Andy Thomas 37pts 2, Paul McLananghan 34pts 3, Richard Triscott 33pts Div Two 1, Pete Dunn 44pts 2, Steve Mason 39pts 3, Mike Porter 38pts Div Three 1, Roger Broom 39pts 2, Gordy Wheelaghan 36pts 3, Richard Broom 36pts

The Budget Battles on Which His Reelection Depends
The Republican Party today is obsessed not merely with not raising taxes but with lowering them further, chiefly on the rich. Since the advent of the Tea Party, Lafferism has yielded to Ayn Randianism, and so the theology is rapidly becoming the conviction that redistribution of any sort is not merely unsound policy but is fundamentally immoral. Paul Ryan's proposed cuts to entitlements have received the most press attention (the budget plan he has crafted is perfectly logical and even moral from a Randian perspective). But if anything his tax cuts are far more outrageous—$4.5 trillion, the vast majority of which would go to the top earners by reducing the top marginal rate to 25 percent.

Our new Education pages are now available in beta. Take a look and let us know what you think.
This workshop draws on Foreign Office reports, correspondence and telegrams from British diplomats and other officials based in Russia during the revolution. These files offer a detailed and vivid account of the rapidly unfolding events in March 1917.
Students analyse and compare eye-witness accounts of the March Revolution written by British diplomats stationed in Moscow and Petrograd. They discuss the value of using Foreign Office reports to study the Russian Revolution and identify reasons why accounts of the same event could differ so dramatically. Students also examine how the British government reacted to incoming reports and consider why it was a matter of concern at the time.
At the end of the session, students 'rummage' through other original documentation on the Russian Revolution, and look at restricted-access files relating to the assassination of the Tsar and his family.

Acer Brings Another Chromebook To The Party
Acer was early to the Chromebook market, releasing the C7 for a mere $199 and the C710 for $299. These laptops - more tablets with keyboards than fully-featured machines - work well as "third screen" devices that you throw onto a coffee table or use for browsing and some mild document editing. Now Acer is back with the C720, a $249 with SD card reader, USB 3.0 port, and a front-facing HD webcam… Read More

Everyone! Look! Acer!
When was the last time you talked about Acer? Never? Me too. The company, which is the fourth largest PC maker in the world by the way, announced the Acer Aspire R7 this morning.

Acer Goes To A Whole New Level Of Crazy With The Aspire R7
Acer just announced the Aspire R7, a strange hybrid of a desktop all-in-one, laptop, and a tablet that was previously teased in some promotional Star Trek commercials.

Acer's ChromeOS-based Chromebooks, the company's president Jim Wong told Bloomberg today, accounted for "5 percent to 10 percent of Acer's U.S. shipments since being released there in November."

Acer is not done with tablets. New models will be released in 2012. The company is apparently going to continue making Android tabs despite a slow start and reports stating the contrary.

Acer's New Monitor Turns 2D Into 3D Automagically
Slowly but surely, the world is turning 3D. The Acer HR274H is a 27-inch 1080p 3D display with a trick up its sleeve. Using an internal, chip-based system, the monitor can convert most 2D content into (arguably poor) 3D. This will, in short, pop the moving objects to the front of the scene while making the background look further away. Read More
Acer Lets Slip New Tegra 3 Tablet With 1920×1200 screen
I've been a big proponent of the idea that Apple will be putting out a high-resolution iPad soon.

Asus, Acer Android 3.0 Tabs To Eventually Get Updated To Ice Cream Sandwich
Now that Ice Cream Sandwich is real, manufacturers can start talking about the roll out. The good news is that ICS looks Tegra 2 friendly so it should run on most of the first generation Honeycomb tablets. Asus and Acer have both confirmed that their respective tabs will get the update but haven't detailed the launch schedule. That's the bad news, which really isn't all that bad in and of itself.

Acer: The Losses Will Continue, But Things Are Getting Better
Acer announced that they'd be posting another loss, following last quarter's $250m one, and warned they were unlikely to get back into the black by the end of the year. The good news?

Ai Chi is a water-based total body strengthening and relaxation progression that bridges East and West philosophies, and integrates mental, physical, and spiritual energy. It combines Tai-Chi concepts with Shiatsu and Watsu techniques, and is performed standing in shoulder-depth water using a combination of deep breathing and slow, broad movements of the arms, legs, and torso. The Ai Chi progression moves from simple breathing, to the incorporation of upper-extremity, trunk, lower-extremity, and finally total body involvement.
Ai Chi was created to help aquatic practitioners (including aquatic exercise instructors, personal trainers, and aquatic therapy and rehabilitation practitioners) and students enjoy the water in a flowing yet powerful progression. It is an efficient exercise program that increases oxygen and caloric consumption through correct form and positioning in the water, a perfect relaxation technique for highly stressed, over-challenged clients, and is ideal for creating improved range of motion and mobility.
Jun Konno, ATRIC, creator of Ai Chi, is one of Japan&'s foremost swimming and fitness consultants and the President of Aqua Dynamics Institute (Japanese chapter of AEA). Since 1986, he has worked to promote aquatics in Japan and is Chairman of the Executive Committee for Japan's National Aquatic Conference.

Mmmm..... the software is clunky and the EPG only shows 1.5 hours. Long program names are hard to see when they are cut off. Not a 5 star at all
Don't get me wrong the picture is very good but if this is what you think is a 5 star product I suggest you go and purchase another 5 stars.
