100mm block, 50mm insulation, 50mm cavity air gap then 100mm block make up an external wall that in theory comply with a building regulation overall wall U-Value of 0.3 (W/m^2K). This got me thinking about the 50mm air gap. Why 50mm? What if it was 75mm or 10mm? Stagnant air is a great insulator, a small gap would tend to stagnate the air and might improve, reduce, the overall U-Value. A large gap would … Read More

1 Please please don't buy!Angelfishxl | 25/11/2010 | See all Angelfishxl's reviews (1)This is one if the worst games I've ever played racing or otherwise. It features tons of content which makes it feel like a must buy, but you'd be better off with almost any other racer. Here are some off the reasons not to get suckered. Only a fifth of the car models are new. The ones that are new look great but the rest look extremely dated. Track graphics are sterile and of intermittent quality too. The AI is non existent - any attempt to drive 'properly' is ruined by cars ramming into you and refusing to concede the racing line even though you've legitimately out manuevered them, slowing you both down pointlessly. There are tons of rough edges too. For a game that took this long to make it's ridiculous to have voice over drowned out by engine noise, an engine noise that drones on at the same pitch during all the post match menus.But the completely unforgivable thing are the menus. I've had to wait up to five minutes for the main menu to load after a race (usually nearer one minute). Most of the menus take 30 seconds to load and there are a ton of menus. Restarting a license test involves around six menus.The game doesn't look that great for the most part as most of the assets are copied from previous games. The driving is fine but the AI is horrible. The loading and menus make it almost unplayable.Only buy if you've already got forza3, hot pursuit etc and have to have everything. (like me sadly.)
5 Top Of Its Class !!!!!!!Subliminal2k | 23/11/2010 | See all Subliminal2k's reviews (8)Firstly before i begin let me say i have never waited so long for a game to be installed 1 hour 20 minutes then 10 minutes to update!!!! let me start by saying this has been well awaited with 4 years under polyphony digital belt they have really come through with a well trimmed and well presented driving simulation so for anyone who is new to the series its nothing like need for speed or burnout this is a driving simulation with realistic handling and weight issues along with the norm licences to open up new cars and new special features. The graphics are stunning with loads to offer plus a soundtrack that can be chosen to anyones taste :) they even have RUSKO!! (for any of the dubstep heads). there is over 300 plus hours of game play here with an added online play so you can race and trade cars with your friends. i have only played this game for a few hours but i am hooked and there is so much versatility here that it will have something to offer everyone. a well recomended and well awaited game.
5 Brilliant gamebackspin | 19/02/2011 | See all backspin's reviews (12)When first purchasing this game, I couldn't wait to have a go, especially for what had taken so long to release. After waiting ages to install and then update, started a quick arcade game and thought, "hmmm ... is that it..?"A few weeks later, I'd forgotten about the hype and decided to sit down and start going through the levels. After few hours and 5/6 levels in, this is when the game starts to shine and you really start to appreciate the amount of work that has gone into this game. The physics and handling of each and every car is simply superb. Upgrading the cars engine, handling and transmission is noticeable with every single adjustment. If you finish 2nd and don't have enough power to take 1st, then upgrade the engine, change tyres or exhaust until you can take 1st. With a GT force steering wheel, it is quite simply the best gaming experience you will ever have at home. This is as close to the real thing you will find, the repsonse on the feedback is amazing, especially when you spin out or loose control.The graphics are excellent, sharp and clear, people saying they are like ps2 are not being realistic. Music & menu system plus loading times are fine, don't seem to have a problem with it. Yes, there are a couple of awkward menu functions, like going back a few levels to tune up the car, but its nothing as bad as 'server not responding' and your game is disconnected, like some games (COD).The negative reviews could be from people who are either young or have never driven a car, because if they had, they would appreciate how realistic the physics of the game are. If you want to enjoy spinning out a Ferrari onto a grass verge then powering out of the skid, throwing a Toyota MR2 round the bends or racing a hot hatch over gravel and tarmac.. then this game is for you.All in all, if you have the time to sit down with a force feedback wheel and forget all the hype, then you'll love this game, it's highly addictive and thoroughly enjoyable.EDIT: It depends what view you use when playing this game. With the speedo and rev counter view the game is faster and realistic. When playing with car view, it's dull and boring...and pretty much rubbish.
3 Such A ShamePowerslidingBadger | 30/11/2010 | See all PowerslidingBadger's reviews (1)I've been trying to fool myself into liking this game and looking at the positive aspects but it is such a let down.Positives ++ Challenges and Licenses are good fun and will keep you playing, trying to beat times.+ Premium cars into photo mode look amazing.Negatives -- Some of the standard cars look terrible, like they have been ripped out of GT3 and GT4.- Lack of racing events.(Played for about 8 hours and almost finished half of the A-Spec events)- B-Spec mode, why would you want to watch the AI race?- Jaggy/Glitchy graphics are really obvious and annoying, a real eye sore.- No feel of the car, not much response vibration wise through the controller.- Used Car Lot, You can save up for a car but then never find it, because it will never appear in the used car lot. 800 cars and you could spend ages looking for one.- Damage, Wait until level 40? why, there is no need for this. Also damage doesn't really compare to GRID or even Forza 3.- Game freezes and crashes every so often, meaning you have to sit through silly loading times again.- AI is useless and will not move away from the racing line, meaning the AI pits you every so often.- Hardly any customization, You can't even change the alloys of a standard car.If you are looking for a fun game, play NFS: Hot Pursuit. It is very enjoyable.So many limitations in this game, and its such a shame. Only the second time I will sell a game, only a week after purchase.

quote:good then cause he definitely wasn't a better overall player. Not even close and that's why i believe he will get drafted early.
quote:It's blowing my mind that some people think he's going in the 6th or 7th. He finished higher in the Heisman race than any defensive player in the past 25 years

quote:If you are trying to keep your fat intake down, chicken breast is the better choice because it contains less than the thigh. One cup of cooked chicken breast contains 5 g of fat compared to the 15 g in the chicken thigh. A diet that limits fat is one that reduces your risk of developing heart disease. In addition, a lower fat content results in less calories; 231 for chicken breast versus 293 for the thigh. Keeping your calorie intake moderate allows you to lose weight or maintain your current number.

Compare that with the same amount of skinless (roasted) chicken breast at 165 calories and 3.57 grams of fat. In terms of saturated fat, that amount of thigh meat contains 2 grams more than the breast, 3 grams instead of 1 gram.

Data and Maps Aerials Map Catalog Technical Users By Subject By Community
SEMCOG Community Profiles provide data organized under five main subject areas: population, economy & jobs, housing, transportation and land use. This data is available at the regional, county, and community levels. The data can be used for research purposes, grant writing, planning, and reporting.
SEMCOG's Custom Community Profiles Tool allows users to create customized profiles to fit their specific needs. Users can aggregate data for multiple communities and/or determine which data items to include in their report. Use the tool to:
The Census Bureau's American Community Survey data include social, economic, housing, and demographic characteristics and are released annually in the form of single- and multi-year estimates. Annual one-year estimates are available for areas with populations of 65,000 or more. Three-year estimates represent the average characteristics over a 3-year period of time and are available for areas with populations of 20,000 or more. Five-year estimates, which represent the average characteristics over a 5-year period of time, include data for all geographies including tracts and block groups.
Since more than one dataset may be available for larger geographic areas, users need to decide which is the most appropriate for their needs. While the single-year estimates are more current, the multi-year year estimates are more reliable due to larger sample size.
Additional information on choosing between single- and multi-year estimates
For questions about the profiles, email firstname.lastname@example.com or call 313-324-3330.

Social media agency lists online value of top social businesses
A blog post from social media agency the Dachis Group announces its Social Business Index, is well, now open for public consumption. The agency suggests that the simple measurement of social media through current monitoring and tracking isn't sustainable.
It's an obvious platform for the agency in building the case in trying to distinguish its vision that businesses need to perform better within social environments – and how they should go about it.
However, its index is a step in the right direction in bringing more value to businesses to make more intelligent decisions based on better data and information, instead of just focusing on what is being said about a brand – and other content that may relate to it. Pretty much what the web analytics market had to bring to brands and marketers, as it becomes increasingly important to understand metrics such as the when, where, how, quantities and tapping into the whys.
Dachis' Social Business Index claims to list between 2,700 companies and 20,000 and 26,000 brands based upon data collated from range of social environments – including information from 100 million worldwide social accounts. The private version of the index was released in June 2011, tracking and monitoring social platforms with its specially created algorithm. It's an obvious platform for the agency to try and distinguish its vision that businesses need to perform better within social environments – and how they should go about it.
Released publicly last week to normal folk, the index tracks and monitors social platforms striving to build the case for more actionable key performance indicators (KPI) and the end game, the better understanding and actionable holy grail return on investment (ROI). The agency rightly states that is difficult to measure social ROI and other metrics on a purely financial metrics basis, with so many other benchmarks required in order to provide a richer picture for organisations to consider, and they are vocal champions of this.
A year in the building, Dachis created its database on the Social Business Intelligence as Service platform (SBIaaS) using an array of technologies that it states it will need to develop to address an evolving market. For now the database allows for a real-time view of well-known organisations - it looks like a who's who leader board.
Users can filter by business size, sector drop down, performance ranking and with obligatory scores of where they were, versus where they are now. There's enough eye candy to feast on in terms of an overview - focusing on main sections industry performance, trends, social business graphs, comparison features and the ability to drill down by its filters.
If you happen to work one of the selected organisations you can add your details and apparently receive more love. However, digging deeper at this point, doesn't seem possible unless you're part of the 26K.
As for who's topping the leader board...well, no massive surprises there until you reach Coinstar, Inc, listed as a music, video, book and entertainment retail brand at number 5. One can only surmise that it's particularly efficient in using its social channels and boosted maybe via its subsidiary brands way ahead of many others that could be expected to be up there.
It's certainly a more than decent marketing and sales tool for a social business consultancy. Indeed, its a wake up call for many other social media agencies and brands that are focusing on the doing and not so much on the longevity of actions, that can also have slower and more convoluted routes in implementing feedback and insight into the core of businesses at every level. It's not an earth shattering development or indeed advice for brands at this stage, but more of what needs to be seen and done. Given this is a social media agency that is large in comparison to many of its competitors, sizeable funding behind it and with what may be deemed good pedigree - it certainly brings more gravitas to the sensible arguments it consistently raises on its blog.
Founded by Jeffrey Dachis in 2008, who's no stranger to successful agency life (ex-Razorfish), the agency based on Austin, Texas, USA raised $30 million venture capital from Austin Ventures. It's made several acquisitions including UK social business agency Headshift certainly making it many may want to watch perhaps just as much as its social tracking tool.

In the spirit of how businesses are represented on the web, this infographic below from NetProspex and Oxford Communications shows the top 50 companies on the NetProspex Social Index as determined by what both companies refer to as social connectedness, social activity, friendliness and reach across top social networks, inclusive of Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn.
It's an interesting infographic, as you'll recognise the brand names because they're global, but it's US centric. If that's your market, then you may be interested in the rest of the social reports available for download. More than anything else, it's presented nicely, very pretty indeed.

Rival wrote:The only thing known about the fruits so far, is that as Oda explained, there's only one at a time with a given power and the fruit becomes available again once its user dies, and that's why all the info about Devil Fruits comes from studying previous, long dead owners.
Nothing more really got revealed regarding how they get recreated, from what I recall.
In an SBS, Oda promised he'd explain how the Devil Fruits get recreated in a future arc that'd also explain what Devil Fruits are, I'm guessing this is gonna be now.
I really liked the chapter, but Buggy as Shichibukai is disappointing. It devalues the threat of the title. Reminds me too much of Mr. Satan in Dragon Ball, where an incompetent fool got praise he didn't deserve and somehow we were expected to find him sympathetic.
The Naruto flashback bores me to tears.

Mind you, this setup is really boring. Yeah, i get it, quincies are like the nazis with the master race ideology and the german and the absence of "love" and people shouting angrily so hard they can be heard outside huge mansions and whatever the fuck, but for some reason it's not getting me excited or anything. It's just cardboard evil, the type we've seen being used and re-used in entertainment media for eons. Why was it that ichigo's mom is such a stark contrast between her and the other nazis if she's supposed to be one herself? We understand that quincies share the same personality traits when it comes to seriousness and quinciness and whatever, yet her qlique seems matsumorihimesque. Why is it always like this? Fucking shit! The mother and father of the main characters are ALWAYS over-the-top, speshul snowflakes that somehow are *different* from the rest of their kind because that's apparently what has been socially accepted as the norm.
Either it is too early in the morning or neither one peice or naruto will come out this week. I'm hoping it's the former for one piece (naruto can stay the fuck away from me until the fucking flashback is over). I get that authors deserve a break, but i honestly didn't know they could take weekly breaks in a 1-1 basis, i mean talking about the business itself.
Also i started reading Onepunch man and i think i'm in the same boat as the people i saw discussing it yesterday, that the chapters were fun and then suddenly the manga took a turn towards spectacle and less about pacing and story. Yes, Murata's drawings are a visual pleasure to look at, but if that's all there's going to be from now on then i kindly pass. The manga in itself is quite enjoyable, but if the guy wants to animate, then he should fucking stop drawing manga and just animate if he loves that so much. If you don't watch any of the previous sequences in .gif files, watching each page one by one does not give the same sense of flow and it just takes a buttload of time of watching the same pictures with a different angle to get to the part where his fucking fists touches the other guy. Impressive from an artistic viewpoint? Yes, but i'm here to read manga, not stare at every frame of a gif sequence for 12 minutes to find out the plot advanced two millimeters at the end.

You are emotional, ingenious and progressive by temperament. Others may find it difficult to approach you at first, but once your benevolent disposition unfolds, they find that you are very likeable. Your partner tends to have a passionate temperament. They remain secretive, but somehow persuade others to share their innermost secrets. Being possessive, they demand your loyalty.
Each of you has many qualities and resources that are both complimentary and supplementary. You also both have a desire to help each other grow in life. You may need to identify and be aware of the areas in which each of you lack.
Karmic Pull: [Excellent] There will be perfect accord in temperaments between both of you. You will be loyal and derive immense happiness from each other.
Mutual Gunas: [Good] You both realize and acknowledge the strengths of one another, and also know how to deal with each other's weaknesses. A decent level of understanding persists between both of you.

Poem – Holiday For Strings
Hi Everyone, I've found another REALLY awesome poem. I'll get back to big collections of inspirational quotes soon…but for now, I keep finding great old poems from the 1910-1960's eras. Most poems that I share have been all but forgotten…so, I hope you appreciate my efforts to resurrect these gems. This one below is called […]

A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain stops. A stroke is sometimes called a "brain attack."
If blood flow is cut off for longer than a few seconds, the brain cannot get nutrients and oxygen. Brain cells can die, causing lasting damage.
Cerebrovascular disease; CVA; Cerebral infarction; Cerebral hemorrhage; Ischemic stroke; Stroke - ischemic; Cerebrovascular accident; Stroke - hemorrhagic
There are two major types of stroke:
Ischemic stroke occurs when a blood vessel that supplies blood to the brain is blocked by a blood clot. This may happen in two ways:
Ischemic strokes may also be caused by a sticky substance called plaque that can clog arteries.
A hemorrhagic stroke occurs when a blood vessel in part of the brain becomes weak and bursts open. This causes blood to leak into the brain. Some people have defects in the blood vessels of the brain that make this more likely. These defects may include:
Hemorrhagic strokes may also occur when someone is taking blood thinners, such as warfarin (Coumadin). Very high blood pressure may cause blood vessels to burst, leading to hemorrhagic stroke.
An ischemic stroke can develop bleeding and become a hemorrhagic stroke.
High blood pressure is the main risk factor for strokes . The other major risk factors are:
Stroke risk is also higher in:
The symptoms of stroke depend on which part of the brain is damaged. In some cases, a person may not know that a stroke has occurred.
Most of the time, symptoms develop suddenly and without warning. However, symptoms may occur on and off for the first day or two. Symptoms are usually most severe when the stroke first happens, but they may slowly get worse.
A headache may occur if the stroke is caused by bleeding in the brain. The headache:
Other symptoms depend on how severe the stroke is and what part of the brain is affected. Symptoms may include:
The doctor will do a physical exam to:
You may have the following tests to help find the type, location, and cause of the stroke and rule out other disorders:
Other tests include:
A stroke is a medical emergency. Quick treatment is needed. Call 911 or your local emergency number or seek urgent medical care at the first signs of a stroke.
People who are having stroke symptoms need to get to a hospital as quickly as possible.
Other treatments given in the hospital will depend on the cause of the stroke. These may include:
Physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and swallowing therapy will all begin in the hospital. If the person has severe swallowing problems, a feeding tube in the stomach (gastrostomy tube) will likely be needed.
The goal of treatment after a stroke is to help you recover as much function as possible and prevent future strokes.
Recovery from your stroke will begin while you are still in the hospital or at a rehabilitation center. It will continue when you go home from the hospital or center.
Support and resources are available from the American Stroke Association: www.strokeassociation.org .
How well a person does after a stroke depends on:
Problems moving, thinking, and talking often improve in the weeks to months after a stroke.
Many people who have had a stroke will keep improving in the months or years after their stroke.
Over half of people who have a stroke are able to function and live at home. Others are not able to care for themselves.
If treatment with clot-busting drugs is successful, the symptoms of a stroke may go away. However, patients often do not get to the hospital soon enough to receive these drugs, or they cannot take these drugs because of a health condition.
People who have a stroke due to a blood clot (ischemic stroke) have a better chance of surviving than those who have a stroke due to bleeding in the brain (hemorrhagic stroke).
The risk for a second stroke is highest during the weeks or months after the first stroke. The risk begins to decrease after this period.
Stroke is a medical emergency that needs to be treated right away. Call your local emergency number (such as 911) if someone has symptoms of a stroke.
Reducing your stroke risk factors lessen your chances of a having stroke.

from Sears| Item: 09579942000 | Model: 99915Stay safe on the road with all new tires from Sears
Every time you get into your car, you want to be able to ensure a safe trip for you and your passengers. When you've got new tires, you can rest assured that you'll be safer on the road through rain or shine. Of course, there are more benefits to having high-quality tires than just safety. With reliable tires, you'll also save money and have an overall better performing vehicle. You can find all the tires you need when you shop at Sears.
Safety is one of the biggest concerns every time you get behind the wheel. Brakes aren't the only automotive part that keeps you safe on the road. Whether you're driving yourself or you're with friends and family, it's important to have the safest possible vehicle. By replacing old tires before they hit 100,000 miles, you'll be able to increase your ability to safely drive short and long distances. The benefits of traction can improve accelerating and braking in any weather condition, whether it's icy, wet or dry.
Your car performs better when you have reliable, high quality tires. From the tire treads to the size of your wheels, the style and design of your tires can improve braking, gas mileage and performance more than an older set of tires. Be sure to have your tires rotated regularly and keep the pressure at optimum performance. Once they've run their course, make sure to install new tires to keep your car running like a charm.
Regardless of your vehicle, it's important to make sure that you have dependable tires for all seasons. Depending on where you live, you may want to invest in seasonal tires for your car, truck or RV. If you live in an area where you deal with icy conditions, you'll want to consider winter tires for slick roads, black ice and bitter cold. Of course, you can't keep winter tires on all year, so you'll need a set of all-purpose or summer tires for when the temperature heats up. All you need are the right tire and wheel accessories to change your tires as quickly as possible.
Whether you need something that fits your driving habits or drives smoothly during different seasons, Sears has you covered with a wide variety of tires. Find the best selection of car, truck, or even RV tires that work best for you. Get new tires today to keep your vehicle running at peak performance.

The Axis Communications AXIS M7001 Video Encoder is a small and inexpensive encoder that can be used to interface a single analog CCTV camera to a network. Its compact form makes it a particularly good choice for discreet or space constricted installations such as inside a camera housing. Power is provided via PoE, eliminating the need for an external power source. When connected to a motorized dome camera via its RS-422/485 port, this encoder will also allow full pan, tilt, and zoom control over the network as well as access to the camera's presets and tour functions.
Video is encoded using H.264, a compression method that maintains excellent image quality while keeping file sizes to a minimum. MJPEG is also supported for extra flexibility. Alarm events triggered by the encoder's built-in motion detection sensor can be used to trigger file upload via FTP and HTTP as well as email notification. Motion detection can also be used to move a PTZ camera to a preset position. There is also a 20MB buffer for storing pre and post alarm footage.

Electrical Analysis
Validate with simulation and analysis
Electrical faults can have a huge impact on the success or failure of a product in the market and simulation and analysis plays a key role in the early validation of the electrical system – where redesign is cheaper and simpler.
Electrical simulation & analysis was once the domain of specialist experts only. Simplicity and ease-of-use are key features of Capital simulation and analysis tools, bringing design validation capabilities into the hands of every electrical designer.
Simulation and analysis functions are standard features of Capital Logic allowing system and wiring designers to check voltages and current flows, simulate switch configurations and failure modes.
These optional products extend the simulation functionality to support validation of every state of the electrical system – eliminating risk from the design.
Capital SimCertify
Bullet proof design using FMEA
Capital SimCertify rigorously tests all possible circuit states, performing FMEA analysis to identify all failures and quantify their risk and probability.
Capital SimProve
Eliminate sneak faults
Capital SimProve rigorously tests all possible circuit states, identifying unintended functionality, such as sneak path faults, and can also detect missing or unimplemented functionality.
Capital SimStress
Size components for worst-case configurations
Capital SimStress rigorously tests all possible circuit states, identifies component and wire sizing problems, and recommends upgraded specifications for wires, fuses, etc to suit worst-case conditions.
Capital SimTransient
Validate transient behaviour

This is one of the rare gems of a film that manage to make you laugh one moment and have you in tears just shortly after that.What I like is that even the dramatic and tragic scenes are played the way they would happen in real life without the ring of violins or people crying in slow motion ... tools too often used in lesser films.Sterling performances from everyone involved, but with Lerman and Watson standing out in particular, this film will take you on a ride and not let you go before the end credits roll. Provided you let it, of course. ;)I have not been so moved by a coming of age film since "Stand By Me" and "Dead Poet Society" and I firmly believe that this film is right up there with these milestones in film history! As a matter of fact, just remembering some of its more poignant moments brings tears to my eyes weeks after I have seen it."And in that moment, I swear we were infinite."

Major retail players, such as Saks Fifth Avenue, Gap Inc. and Coach Inc., along with designer brands like Chanel, Lanvin, Gucci, Louis Vuitton and Marc Jacobs, are either making plans to enter the Asia-Pacific region — or they've arrived already. In 2006, the Asia-Pacific region as a whole brought in $160.1 billion in apparel and footwear retail sales — that number is expected to grow by 5.2 percent to $168.3 billion in 2007. So, which countries are excelling in the region? WWD asked London-based market-intelligence firm Euromonitor International to provide the region's top countries, ranked by their estimated apparel and footwear retail sales for this year.
Total projected 2007 clothing and footwear retail sales: $76.7 billion
Fueled by Japanese corporate giants like Fast Retailing Co. Ltd. (Uniqlo stores), World Co. Ltd. (Hushush stores) and Sanei International Co. Ltd. (Sanei stores), Japan leads the pack — not surprising given its consumers' taste for fashion of all kinds. And while the luxury sector has seen slower growth over the last few quarters, brands like Armani continue to rush in. "Gleaming luxury towers keep springing up in Ginza, and Bulgari is the latest to join the crush," said WWD last week. The Italian jewelry and leather goods brand has taken things a step further, however, by opening two major stores in Tokyo in the last few weeks. In addition, WWD reported Monday that Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have plans for more store openings in Japan.
$23.1 billion
China might be a focus for many brands at the moment, but its Asian neighbor India is attracting increasing attention thanks to growing wealth and changes in laws regulating retail ownership. Topshop's owner, Sir Philip Green, is in talks to enter India in the near future; Dolce & Gabbana will open in New Delhi early next year, and Italy's Benetton SpA has signed an agreement with Trent, the retail arm of the Tata Group, to develop its Sisley brand in India. Gucci opened its first boutique in India, in Mumbai, in September: The expansion in India fits in with the company's overall strategy to further develop its business in the Asia-Pacific region.

In all aspects of life, the use of energy is an increasingly important matter. A domestic electricity bill is enough to get the attention of most householders and initiate thoughts about using more efficient equipment. Filling a car's fuel tank is an eye-watering experience. Even in the US, where fuel is still quite cheap, the costs have risen drastically in percentage terms over the last decade. … Read More

ST. LOUIS – As expected, new social media records were set on Election Day.
A full hour before the presidential race was called, Twitter said about 20 million election-related tweets were sent out. This makes it the most tweeted event about U.S. politics ever, beating out even the 2008 election.
President Barack Obama claimed a record of his own on re-election night. His staff tweeted a photo of Obama with the First Lady along with the caption "four more years." As of Wednesday morning, it had been retweeted more than 500,000 times – beating the previous "retweet" record holder, Justin Bieber.
Some people, however, complained the president's victory tweet was sent out before Mitt Romney even conceded.
Other people got silly about the whole thing: you'll remember how Sesame Street was pulled into the election? The Facebook page Meme GOP posted a photo of Big Bird with the quote, "Oscar! Grover! We won!"
Also, Twitter user Ryan Broderick posted an animated President Obama celebrating "Gangnam Style."
Those are just a couple of hundreds of election-related memes going around the web this morning.

Prader-Willi syndrome is a congenital (present from birth) disease. It affects many parts of the body. People with this condition are obese, have reduced muscle tone and mental ability, and have sex glands that produce little or no hormones.
Prader-Willi syndrome is caused by a gene missing on part of chromosome 15. Normally, your parents each pass down a copy of this chromosome. Most persons with Prader-Willi syndrome are missing the genetic material on part of the father's chromosome. The rest of persons with this condition often have two copies of the mother's chromosome 15.
The genetic changes occur randomly. Persons who have this syndrome usually do not have a family history of the condition.
Signs of Prader-Willi syndrome may be seen at birth.
Other symptoms may include:
Children have an intense craving for food and will do almost anything to get it. This can result in uncontrollable weight gain and morbid obesity. Morbid obesity may lead to type 2 diabetes , high blood pressure , and joint and lung problems.
Genetic testing is available to test children for Prader-Willi syndrome.
As the child grows older, laboratory tests may show signs of morbid obesity, such as:
There may also be signs of right-sided heart failure and knee and hip problems.
Obesity is the greatest threat to health. Limiting calories will control the obesity, but the family, neighbors, and school must work together closely because the child will try to get food wherever possible. Exercise can increase lean body mass in children with Prader-Willi syndrome.
Growth hormone is approved by the Food and Drug Administration for the treatment of Prader-Willi syndrome. It can help:
There have been some concerns that taking growth hormone therapy may lead to sleep apnea. A child who takes hormone therapy needs to have annual sleep studies to monitor for sleep apnea.
Low levels of sex hormones may be corrected at puberty with hormone replacement.
For additional resources and support, see:
The child will need the right education for his or her IQ level. The child will also need speech, physical, and occupational therapy as early as possible. Controlling weight will allow for a much more comfortable and healthy life.
Call your health care provider if your child has symptoms of this condition. The disorder is frequently suspected at birth.

Yes, I recommend this product.
"After reading some previous reviews, I was apprehensive about purchasing the 928. I can say I have been pleasantly surprised by the nice smooth lining and lack of "feeling the seams" in the 928. The only drawback I can see to the 928 is the top of the shoe rubs my outer ankles. Hopefully, this will eventually stop with more wear. I have worn the 928s approximately 20 times with no other problems. I was ready to swear off the New Balance brand completely after my experience with three pair of "end of the run" 811s (which were probably soon renamed 812s). The inside seams rub on those 811 shoes and both pair I still have are extremely uncomfortable and hard on the inside. This continues to be true even after attempting to wear the 811s for the past two years. Hopefully, the 928s will continue to be comfortable and the ankle rubbing will stop. The ankle rubbing does surprise me as I wear orthotics which raise the height of my foot."

"I seriously didn't want to buy these shoes. I fought with that poor sales guy at the NB store the same way I fought with my ophthalmologist when he said I had to get bifocals! These are NOT pretty shoes. They look like orthopedic oxfords, in fact. BUT I was having major problems with walking, and he assured me they were the best option. I have to say...HE WAS RIGHT! I'd been wearing NB 628's for about 10 years, always satisfied with the fit and support, but these 928's are even better. My gait improved and the lower leg pain I was having as a result of pronation improved, as well. I was a little upset that the rubber thingies that come up from the sole at the front of the toe box came apart after a while, but I stuck them back down with some Gorilla Glue and had no further problem. All in all, these have been great shoes, and I'm planning to buy a new pair this week!"

"I love the 928! :-) These shoes are a lot like 926, so if you're like me and you loved the 926 and were (very) disappointed by the 927, you will love the 928. As for size and width...they are a tiny smidge big, but I like the roomy feel of these lots better than the snug 927. So I marked neutral...they are great for me. Thank you, New Balance! One more thought...if they were made in USA they would be absolutely perfect."

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: email@example.com Central finishes off flustered Red Raiders
Wednesday, February 6, 2013
ROCHESTER — The Division I boys basketball tournament starts in one month, which means the Spaulding High School team is short on time if it wants to figure out how to finish a game against a quality opponent.
Central guard Dawson Dickson, who netted a game-high 22 points, drained a 3-pointer of his own — his fifth — to cut the lead to 35-33. After several empty possessions by both teams, a pivotal point in the game reared its head when Central coach David Wheeler was assessed a technical foul after a Spaulding turnover, and was made to sit in his chair for the remainder of the game. "Our team responded well to that," Wheeler said. "I was asking another official what the call was and he called a technical foul from the other side of the court. I have no idea what happened." With just over five minutes to play, the Red Raiders had two foul shots and the ball. Paradis made one and Spaulding promptly turned the ball over. Central ended the game on a 14-1 run, including 10 of 10 from the foul line over the final 3:55. From that technical, Spaulding finished the game shooting 0 for 7 from the floor and had five turnovers. "I thought the defensive intensity went up," Wheeler added. "We pressured the ball a little bit more and got some turnovers. Off the turnovers we got some pretty good looks."
Troy Pelletier, the lone senior in the Little Green lineup, led the finishing surge with eight of his 17 points, including a perfect 6 of 6 from the foul stripe. He had 15 second-half points after netting just two in the first 16 minutes.
"We pinched the dribble," Wheeler added. "We've been practicing that for a couple of days." |

Hypertensive heart disease refers to heart problems that occur because of high blood pressure. These problems include:
High blood pressure means the pressure inside the blood vessels (called arteries) is too high. As the heart pumps against this pressure, it must work harder. Over time, this causes the heart muscle to thicken.
Without treatment, symptoms of heart failure may develop. Sometimes, the muscle can be so thick that it does not get enough oxygen. This can cause angina (chest pain).
High blood pressure also leads to thickening of the blood vessel walls. When combined with cholesterol deposits in the blood vessels, the risk of heart attack and stroke increases.
Hypertensive heart disease is the leading cause of illness and death from high blood pressure.
Call your health care provider if you have high blood pressure and develop any symptoms.
Because there are often no symptoms with high blood pressure, people can have the condition without knowing it. Symptoms most often occur after many years of poor blood pressure control. Symptoms may also occur if blood pressure suddenly rises to an extreme level. Diagnosing high blood pressure early can help prevent heart disease, stroke, eye problems, and chronic kidney disease.
The 2007 United States Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) guidelines on screening for high blood pressure recommend that all adults be screened:
Your doctor may recommend more frequent screenings based on your blood pressure levels and other health conditions.
If your blood pressure is high, you need to lower it and keep it under control.
