Way different.
That was tailback Brandon Minor's simple bottom line on training camp under the University of Michigan's old offensive system and this new one.
"Especially with the speed of the game and special formations," said Minor, a front-runner along with Carlos Brown to replace Mike Hart at tailback. "Last year, it was basically almost the same one formation, the I-set form. Now, there's no telling where we'll line up. We can do so much, and it's real good. I love it, because the defense doesn't know what to expect."
Just watching 30 minutes of practice Monday made it easy to see exactly what he was talking about.
The Michigan offense never seemed to show the same formation on back-to-back plays.
There were two tailbacks in the backfield, an empty backfield, wide receivers motioning into an empty backfield to become tailbacks, slotbacks turning into quarterbacks, quarterbacks turning into wide receivers, tight ends lining up in the slot and so forth.
There were more looks on display in 15 minutes than an entire season under the previous coaching regime.
More than anything else, it looked fun.
Fun to watch. Fun to coach. Fun to play.
"A lot of people who run on all levels (believe that)," Michigan coach Rich Rodriguez said. "A lot of high school coaches have said they get more young guys out for it who have maybe never played, a track guy or a basketball guy, because they have a chance to get on the field."
Rodriguez was loose Saturday, in between a morning practice and one scheduled for the afternoon, Michigan's first two-a-day. He talked about the good (no one he's counting on has had a disappointing camp), the bad (still too early to know what's up with the offensive line) and the shaky (those pesky quarterbacks again).
Five Wolverines spoke to the media - Minor, Brown, wideout Greg Mathews, linebacker Obi Ezeh and safety Brandon Harrison - and all were all at ease talking about the new system and how camp was going.
For anyone who has covered the Wolverines for any length of time, it's impossible not to notice a change from the always serious, always scripted Augusts of Lloyd Carr. In the past, we were lucky if the coach talked three times in the first four weeks, let alone three times in the first week, as Rodriguez has done.
And the players, on the few occasions they were allowed to speak, were carefully vetted and always seemed worried about saying something interesting.
Neither approach will win or lose you a game, but the new one certainly makes for more fodder for those of you who live and die with Michigan football.
And as for football, six days into camp there are some interesting tidbits, like Brown's take on the current offensive approach.
"There's A LOT of running, I'll tell you that," the tailback said. "I really like it. It gives a lot of athletes the opportunity to get the ball in space. As an athlete, that's what you really want."
Not a surprise, given the quarterback situation.
Mathews' prediction when asked about the deep passing game, though, might raise some eyebrows.
"There's definitely going to be a vertical passing game, especially with the pace of our offense. Sometimes, (the defense) isn't getting the signals and we just run right by them, we're so open," the receiver said.
Formations for everyone, a lot of running and a vertical passing game.
It's a whole new offensive ball game in some ways, and a lot of what you're used to in others, neither of which is a bad thing at all.

Wednesday, October 2, 2013
Imagine looking up at scenes of a Tahitian beach and listening to classical music as you have a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan done at the hospital.
As Summerville Medical Center (SMC) upgrades its MRI suite, the hospital is adopting innovative changes, including calming visuals and music, to help ease patient anxiety. At the same time, the new scanner's design and accompanying technology will allow more people to benefit from MRI scans, which can be an important diagnostic tool.
"We're continuing to invest in state-of-the-art capabilities so our community doesn't have to drive downtown for specialized treatment. Our nationally recognized quality care is a product of the technology we offer and our experienced medical team," says CEO Lou Caputo.
In fact, SMC's $1.9 million MRI makeover, which should be completed by November, will include improvements that are not available anywhere else in the Charleston area.
MRI Makeover Highlights
· New dimensions – SMC is replacing its current MRI equipment and adding GE Healthcare's Optima MR 450W with the Geometry Embracing Method (GEM). The new scanner is quieter, with more pleasing lighting and a more comfortable design. The diameter of its inner tunnel (bore) is wider, providing more space around the patient. It's also shorter, so the patient typically won't be as enclosed. Around 70 percent of the time, the patient's head will be outside of the tunnel. These changes should help prevent the claustrophobic reaction that some experience during an MRI scan and cut back on the need for sedatives that roughly 30 percent of patients take beforehand. "It's a much easier environment," says Director of Imaging Greg Williams. The added width of the opening will also allow larger patients (up to 500 pounds) to have MRI scans done at SMC. Plus, the new technology offered with this scanner will expand the types of neurological, pediatric and breast MRI scans that can be done at SMC.
· A soothing, sensory approach – SMC is incorporating Caring Suite features with adjustable music, visual imagery and mood lighting. Before they enter the MRI suite, patients will be given an iPad that allows them to choose from a menu of options. Visual images will be shown on a screen in the ceiling, above the patient. Most options are nature-themed or animated for children. Corresponding music selections are classical or instrumental, but patients can bring in their own iPads or iPods if they prefer to listen to their own songs. "The whole goal is to give them some sort of control in an environment where they don't feel like they have a lot of control," Williams says. SMC is the only location in the Charleston area to offer Caring Suite as part of its MRI setup.
· Mavrik capabilities - SMC will add in GE's new Mavrik SL imaging application, which should make it much easier to read MRI scans of bone and tissue near metallic implants such as joint replacements, or certain kinds of dental work. For example, Mavrik will help orthopedic doctors identify failing knee or hip replacements before they are unsalvageable. Kevin Morris, GE product specialist for South Carolina, says Mavrik is not being used anywhere else in Charleston, but has been well received in other areas. "The feedback that we've been getting so far is that the doctors are very impressed with it." To schedule an MRI, please call 1-877-357-0156.
The new MRI unit includes calming visuals and music, to help ease patient anxiety. The suite will include a TV screen in the ceiling, as shown in this example.

Quality Education in the Benedictine Tradition
Nov. 12, 2012
Dr. Margaret Watkins, assistant professor of philosophy in the Saint Vincent College School of Humanities and Fine Arts, recently presented a talk at Houghton College, Houghton, New York, on her research which is centered on two philosophers who produced philosophy in the form of the personal essay: Michel de Montaigne and David Hume. During her lecture, "On Unsatisfied Minds," Dr. Watkins talked about Montaigne's and Hume's (and Aristotle's) treatment of the sometimes maligned, sometimes forgotten virtue of magnanimity or proper pride. Following her talk, interested auditors were invited to speak informally with Dr. Watkins about another of her philosophical-literary interests, the implicit ethical views of Jane Austen and other nineteenth-century novelists. Dr. Watkins' visit was sponsored by the Houghton College Philosophy Department.

Twitter is a global platform with more than 60% of users outside the United States and one way B2B companies can grow their business is to monitor and engage with customers and prospects in other languages. In some instances that means reading and writing tweets in languages that you do not understand. There are a variety of tools that embed translation into their interface, and here are some of the most popular.
Lots of people use this desktop client to manage their Twitter experience, but many don't know about the built in language support in Tweetdeck. Start by going to Settings > Services and choose your primary language. Tweets in other languages will be translated into this language when you choose to translate them. Note that all translation is powered by Google and these machine translations frequently miss the subtleties of language, especially in social media.
When you see a tweet that is not in your primary language, move your cursor over the profile picture to bring up the menu of other actions you can take on an individual tweet. Choose translate. You can also choose untranslate to switch the tweet back to its original language.
Tweetdeck also helps you translate your tweets into any Google Translate supported language. After writing your tweet, click the translate this update button and choose the language you wish. Click send to post your translated tweet.
Hootsuite iPhone app
If you are looking for quick way to translate incoming tweets to your native language while on the go, the HootSuite iPhone app includes one button translation while reading any tweet. There are actually two buttons. One translates to the primary language that you set for the app, while the other translates to English.
Another tool that has built in translation is Twaitter. This web-based tool is designed around scheduling your Twitter updates, but it also has Google Translate services embedded into it. After typing an update, click translate, choose a language and Twaitter translates. Send or schedule the update.
And finally, yesterday, Tweetmeme announced translation support for their popular retweet button (used here on SocialMediaB2B.com). They too have incorporated Google Translate tools, which can automatically detect, and suggest, translation into your native language. It is easy to undo if you don't like the translation. If you tweet in a language other than English, we would love for you to tweet this post in your language using the Tweetmeme button and let us know how it works.
Are there other translation tools that allow you to connect your B2B company to people who do not speak your language? Let us know below in the comments.

The Real Housewives of Atlanta: Kandi Burruss Defends Her Fiancé
"I'm still not sold on the groom yet," Mama Joyce told her daughter, bringing to a head the tension that has been building since Burruss's January engagement to Todd Tucker. "How much do you know about him?"
"You are so mean and rude to him," said Burruss, 37, who ended up in tears after her mother dissed her engagement ring.
"He ain't givin' you a dime," her mother yelled. "He's sleepin, eatin' on you … I don't want you to be able to choke on a chicken bone, and he come over and tell me I got to get out."
"My mother doesn't like anybody I date," Burruss explained, but her mother warned, "You do not know the man … Don't think for one minute he's the person you are."
Meanwhile, NeNe Leakes, 45, tried to play peacekeeper, bringing the housewives together for drinks in order to heal the rift between Kenya Moore and Phaedra Parks that started during last season's reunion when Moore alleged that Parks' husband, Apollo Nida, texted her inappropriately.
"She wanna do a Monica Lewinsky with him," Parks, 40, said, before the group met.
"I feel like I'm about to walk into the lion's den," Moore said, before telling Parks, "There was never any inappropriate text messages."
"The rule is," Parks said, "you shouldn't be texting nobody's husband."
"I'm nobody's whore, and I'm nobody's fool," Moore, 42, said, before offering an apology – of sorts. "I didn't want to secretly sleep with your husband."
Porsha Stewart continued to struggle with her emotional divorce from former NFL star Kordell Stewart, moving into her mother's home (and taking over her mom's master suite) before learning from her attorney that her ex wasn't allowing her to return to their former home to pack her belongings.
"How low can he go?" Stewart, 31, wondered. "For him to pack my stuff up like I'm some random? ... Karma's gonna bite him in that big ol' bubble butt."
Cynthia Bailey was troubled by media reports that she looked pregnant, but revealed that she had fibroids and has battled bloating, heavy bleeding and weight gain ever since the birth of her daughter, Noelle, 13.
"My world has turned into one big fibroid," said a teary-eyed Bailey, who also revealed her sex life with husband Peter Thomas, 53, had suffered as a result.
Bailey, 46, learned she was a candidate for uterine fibroid embolization, a minimally invasive procedure that her doctor believed would relieve her symptoms.
The Real Housewives of Atlanta airs Sundays at 8 p.m. ET on Bravo.

October 29, 2012 - Amy Hanna-Eckenrode
CARING FOR YOUR PETS DURING A NATURAL DISASTER Natural disasters occur when we least expect it and often we find we are unprepared to care for ourselves, let alone our pets, in the aftermath.
In an emergency, local authorities may not immediately be able to gain safe access to the area affected or provide information on what is happening and what you should do. If possible, watch TV, listen to the radio or check the internet for instructions.
The Federal Government advises citizens to be prepared to sustain themselves for the first 72 hours of a disaster.
Dan Boyles, director of Blair County Emergency Management, said everyone should have a prepared, written and well-rehearsed plan that can be used in the wake of any emergency or disaster.
"I call it a pre-game show," he said. "That's what you're doing. You're putting a pre-game plan together to keep yourself safe, along with everyone in your jurisdiction."
Boyles said the plan needs to spell out the "who, what, when, where, why" - or whose job it is to complete safety tasks in the most efficient and timely manner.
He also suggested making an emergency kit complete with "anything that will make you operational. Families may also want to practice their emergency plans, even going so far as living without electricity for 24 hours."
CREATE A PET EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT Just as you do with your family's emergency supply kit, think first about the basics of survival, particularly food and water.
MAKE TWO KITS: In one, put everything your pets will need to stay where you are. The other should be a lightweight, smaller version you can take with you if you and your pets have to get away.
FOOD in an airtight, waterproof container – 3 day supply WATER – 3 day supply MEDICATIONS, MEDICAL RECORDS FIRST AID KIT (talk to your veterinarian about what is most appropriate for your pet's emergency medical needs. Include a pet first aid reference book. Keep a list of names of vets or veterinary hospitals in cities where you might need to seek temporary shelter.) COLLAR WITH ID TAG, HARNESS OR LEASH. CRATE or other pet carrier. SANITATION – include litter, box, newspapers, paper towels, plastic trash bags, household chlorine bleach. You can use bleach as a disinfectant (dilute nine parts water to one part bleach). PICTURE OF YOU AND YOUR PET TOGETHER – if you become separated, a picture will help you document ownership and allow others to assist you in identifying you pet. (Include details about species, breed, age, sex, color and distinguishing characteristics) FAMILIAR ITEMS – favorite toys, treats, and bedding can help reduce stress for your pet. Obtain "PETS INSIDE" stickers and place on doors and windows, include the number and types of pets in your home, along with a phone number where you could be reached, to alert firefighters and rescue workers. If time permits, remember to write "Evacuated with Pets" across the stickers, if you flee with your pets.
WHAT YOU WILL DO IN AN EMERGENCY. Assess the situation. Depending on circumstances and nature of emergency the first important decision is whether you stay or get away. Plan for both possibilities.
CREATE A PLAN TO GET AWAY. Plan AHEAD how you will assemble your pets and anticipate where you will go. If you must evacuate, take your pets with you if practical. If you go to a public shelter, keep in mind your animals may not be allowed inside. Secure appropriate lodging in advance for your pets. Consider family or friends, a hotel that accepts pets or a boarding facility or veterinary hospital.
DEVELOP A BUDDY SYSTEM. Plan with neighbors, friends or relatives to make sure that someone is available to care for or evacuate your pets if you are unable to do so. Be sure they know your evacuation plans and where you keep your PET EMERGENCY SUPPLY KIT. Designate specific locations, one close by and one farther away, where you will meet in an emergency.
3 - STAY INFORMED Make yourself familiar with what types of emergencies are likely to affect your region. Learn about local and state emergency plans.
Contact your County Emergency Services office about classes on emergency preparation that can be given to schools, church groups and other community organizations.
For more information about how to prepare, visit www.ready.gov or call 1-800-BE-READY.

once lavished with praise for its reputation for quality and
reliability, took more than a few blows to the chin earlier this year due to concerns of sudden acceleration.
The company began recalling
many of its popular models – including the Camry, Tundra,
Corolla, Highlander, and RAV4 – to replace "sticky" gas pedals.
after examining data from 75 fatal crashes which were blamed on
"sudden acceleration" due to faulty electronics, the National
Highway and Transportation Safety Administration (NHTSA) has come to
the conclusion that only one incident was not related to driver
error. The incident in question is the high
profile crash involving a CHP officer driving a 2009 Lexus ES
350. The vehicle accelerated uncontrollably due to improperly
installed floor mats which trapped the accelerator pedal. The crash
resulted in the death of four people including the officer.
NHTSA concluded that the other 74 crashes were a result of driver
error -- specifically, drivers were mistaking the accelerator pedal
for the brake pedal, according
to the Wall
Street Journal.
spite of our investigations, we have not actually been able yet to
find a defect" with Toyota's electronic throttle control said
NHTSA associate administrator for enforcement, Daniel Smith.
bound and determined that if it exists we're going to find it. But as
yet, we haven't found it."
NHTSA hasn't completely cleared Toyota, however. The agency still
notes that improperly designed floor mats and sticky accelerators
that were slow to return to the idle were to blame for some crashes.
Toyota itself acknowledged
these finding back in January.
However, phantom electronic gremlins causing Toyota vehicles to
suddenly lose their minds appears to have been tossed out of the
sudden acceleration drama resulted in the U.S. Department of
Transportation fining
Toyota $16.4 million for deceiving officials about the widespread
nature of stick accelerator pedals. There are also over 100
pending lawsuits against Toyota regarding sudden acceleration.
quote: Asking anymore of these type of drivers is near impossible. Seriously, you may cause more problems than trying to resolve. You ask them to put the car in neutral and soon enough you'll have all them in reverse or L1/L2. Don't ask me how, but they will get it there. Just leave these type of people alone and stay FAR away!

6 Sensible Things You Should Never Do in a Zombie Outbreak
Everyone with the world's most ordinary bookshelf knows that Sun Tzu said, "Those who use fire to assist their attacks are intelligent." Forget that. Intelligence is for the ancient Chinese. We're not trying to outmaneuver Cao Cao's archers in a wheat field. We're talking about zombies -- slow, moaning, American zombies, where the smarter you act, the shittier your apocalypse is going to be.
When a swarm of undead is approaching, don't lob a Molotov cocktail into them. It takes a well-engulfed body about 15 minutes to burn, and that is a lot of time for a motivated zombie to touch flammable things with its flaming claws. All you did was make dozens of zombies way tougher and invent a smell so horrible, you will die while your nose tries to describe it to your brain. Instead of throwing that Molotov cocktail, you're better off swallowing it and using the liquor to inspire an all-new, totally sweet plan. Try to remember this: A genius throws a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that he's going to die choking in a maze of smoke and flame. A hero drinks a Molotov cocktail and soon realizes that if he does a split in midair, he can hit twice as many zombies per kick. Drunk hero wins again, wusses.
Not using fire is probably pointless advice, since the number of stoves left on rises dramatically with the number of zombies punching through kitchen windows. Plus, your county's fire department will be spread thinly across the gaping mouths of its former community supporters. My point is, everything might already be on fire. So go crazy, I guess.
When the dead start reanimating, your first few words are mostly going to be shrieks. But after you catch your breath, you're going to be tempted to ask what could have caused it all. Was it mutated rabies? Was God cranky about gay marriage? Was a space meteor cranky about regular marriage? Oh, if only we could capture one of these ... these ... let's call them "bite-walking corpse monsters," we could learn from them! Understand them! Maybe find a cure!
All the other survivors hate you so much right now.
Nobody really cares where the undead came from. In fact, we'd rather not be reminded about how retarded and impossible all of this is. I get that it's weird how they breathe or why they crave only our flesh, but they are banging on the windows and you are really being an asshole.
If you're an ordinary kind of nerd, you've probably already picked a nice shopping center in which to safely wait out the zombie apocalypse. There are a couple of problems with that plan. First, your wildest post-apocalyptic fantasy involves you cowering in a mall? You deserve the second problem with your plan: the rapists who thought of coming to the mall shortly after you. The theme of every zombie film, book and TV show is that humans are the real monsters, because a doorknob will keep the undead away, but there is no escape from the evil in men's hearts. I wish that wasn't true, but I was outvoted when writers all agreed to be pussies.
You're going to hate yourself if you miss the entire apocalypse while you're in a mall figuring out how to add lubricated holes to mannequins. If you're one step more clever, you could try heading for a cruise ship. There is food, safety, no possible zomb- hold on a second. You want to spend the rest of your days dying slowly on a cruise ship? What are you, a ventriloquist? I'm starting to think you're just using this zombie crisis as an excuse to sleep with puppets.
Let's say your terribly unawesome plans work out and you've found a luxury liner where you can restart human society. Is that level of responsibility any less terrifying than fighting zombies? You have to create an entirely new government, judicial system and currency. And any scientist with a chimpanzee will tell you that the first thing any society does with currency is give it to the women for sex. So soon your precious safe place away from the kickass zombie war has turned into a never-ending boat party with whores and sex puppets. Actually, wait, I think I might have just talked myself into this one.

PITTSBURGH - Neil Walker is hardly bothered the Pittsburgh Pirates haven't been exactly been lighting up the rumor mill over the last few months. If anything, the second baseman sees it as a sign of just how far the club has come.
"The good thing about this offseason is that we weren't looking to upgrade at six, seven different spots as we have," Walker said Friday. "We knew we were going to get a couple arms from a starter standpoint, knew we were looking for a catcher to go with [Mike McKenry]. I think we upgraded very well. You've got to like what you're looking at on paper."
The Pirates landed three-time All-Star catcher Russell Martin and re-signed veteran setup man Jason Grilli. Other than that, the moves have been minor.
"We're going to roll with what we've got and we're excited about the additions we've made," Walker said.
Besides, it's unlikely Pittsburgh is done. Though general manager Neal Huntington is happy with the moves the team has made he's expects to stay busy before the first full squad workout in Bradenton, Fla., on Feb. 15.
"We still have some irons in the fire, and at the same time we feel good about what we are," Huntington said.
The biggest item at the top of Huntington's offseason list was finding a catcher. Veteran Rod Barajas did wonders with the pitching staff but struggled at the plate and behind it, throwing out just 6 percent (6 of 101) base runners attempting to steal and hitting just .206 with 11 home runs and 31 RBI in 106 games.
The 29-year-old Martin is still in his prime, though his batting average dipped to a career-low .211 last season with the New York Yankees. The two-year deal also gives Martin a little time to settle in and Huntington is confident the hitting woes that plagued Martin are a thing of the past.
"He's a better hitter than that," Huntington said. "He's going to grind out at bats, which is going to help us get into opponent's bullpens. He's an athlete on the bases. We feel like he's a significant upgrade offensively and defensively."
Grilli's return also gives the back end of the bullpen some stability and flexibility. The 36-year-old has been one of the better late-inning relievers in the league since signing with Pittsburgh in July, 2011. While he's never been a closer, Grilli could find himself thrust into the role if Pittsburgh move two-time All-Star Joel Hanrahan, who is likely due a hefty raise in arbitration.
Hanrahan is also the team's most valuable - and tradable - asset, perhaps the biggest chip they have in trying to find some help in the starting rotation. Pittsburgh is set on a top three of A.J. Burnett, Wandy Rodriguez and James McDonald but at the moment has youngsters Jeff Locke and Kyle McPherson penciled in for the fourth and fifth spots. The Pirates would like to throw an established starter in the mix and hope Charlie Morton recovers from elbow ligament-replacement surgery. Morton is expected to be out until at least June.

Obama Dismisses Benghazi Claims
WASHINGTON—President Barack Obama sought to quell a partisan uproar over his administration's response to last year's terrorist assault in Benghazi, Libya, charging that Republican lawmakers are creating a "political circus" partly to raise campaign cash.
Mr. Obama brusquely dismissed Republican criticism that the White House misled the public about the attacks, which killed four Americans, by minimizing the link to terrorism.
"There's no 'there' there," Mr. Obama said during a news conference Monday with visiting British Prime Minister David Cameron. "The fact that this keeps on getting churned out, frankly, has a lot to do with political motivations."

- Parties Fight Over Benghazi Emails (05/10/13)

- Senate Report Widens Fault for Benghazi Failures (12/30/2012)
- Four at State Department Removed After Libya Report (12/19/12)
- State Department Faulted in Libya Attack (12/19/12)
The president's remarks on Libya came as he tried to shift the public's focus back to his agenda and as he grappled with a second emerging controversy, over Internal Revenue Service scrutiny of conservative groups. With growing attention on both issues, Mr. Obama is at risk of seeing his agenda derailed by Congress's investigative machinery.
He took a different tone on the IRS during the news conference, joining members of his own party who have condemned any hint of partisan motivation in the enforcement of tax laws.
Congressional Republicans are seeking to make more headway on the investigation into the Sept. 11, 2012, assault on U.S. posts in Benghazi, which claimed the life of U.S. Ambassador Christopher Stevens.
They charge the administration withheld the truth about the assault because it showed terrorism remained a threat, counter to a key message in Mr. Obama's re-election campaign last year.
The investigation gained new momentum last week when longtime diplomat Gregory Hicks, the second-ranking official in the U.S. embassy in Tripoli during the attack, gave a detailed narrative to a congressional committee.
More From the Press Conference
Rep. Darrell Issa, the California Republican who has been leading the GOP charge over Benghazi, wrote Monday to a former chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, retired Adm. Mike Mullen, and former U.S. Ambassador Thomas Pickering, asking them to meet with congressional investigators for private interviews. Adm. Mullen and Mr. Pickering, who oversaw an independent review of the attacks last year, both indicated they were willing to answer questions.
In a joint statement, Sens. John McCain (R., Ariz.), Lindsey Graham (R., S.C.) and Kelly Ayotte (R., N.H.) said: "In light of recent revelations and whistleblower testimony last week…it is very clear that we need a joint select committee to resolve these contradictions and answer the many other unanswered questions about this tragedy."
Ken Duberstein, White House chief of staff during Mr. Reagan's second term, said the controversy over Benghazi is a distraction for Mr. Obama.
"It certainly diverts attention from whatever the White House is trying to do on a jobs agenda, or the economy or immigration reform because your time is occupied dealing with all these situations. The distraction can be severe," he said.
Four months into his new term, Mr. Obama has plenty of unfinished business. Last week, GOP senators delayed confirmation votes on two of his nominees for cabinet posts: Gina McCarthy for the Environmental Protection Agency and Thomas Perez for labor secretary.
After an all-out effort to tighten gun-control laws, the president couldn't muster enough votes for Senate passage last month. And he still is pressing for a "grand bargain" budget agreement with the GOP over taxes and spending.
An immigration overhaul looks more promising, if only because Republicans recognize they risk disappointing millions of Hispanic voters by blocking a bill.
In his news conference he sought to portray GOP criticism over Benghazi as a partisan exercise that is irrelevant to larger priorities. Some opponents, he said, have used the Benghazi episode for fundraising.
One focus of the investigation into Benghazi has been the "talking points" used as the basis of public statements in the days after the attacks.
Mr. Obama said no one sought to deliberately misinform the public in initially describing the attack as an outgrowth of a protest.
Rather, the information coming in was confused, he said. He said the initial description of the attacks by Susan Rice, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, "pretty much matched the assessments that I was receiving at that time in my presidential daily briefing."
"The whole issue of talking points, frankly, throughout this process has been a sideshow," Mr. Obama said.

quote 828 SpheresEvrae is one tough boss. It has nearly double the amount of HP from the previous boss, cuts all elemental damage in half, and has a nasty breath attack that does 1000 damage to all characters on top of poisoning them. But there are a few things you can do. At the start of the battle have either Rikku or Tidus tell Cid to pull the Airship away from Evrae. At such a long distance Evrae's Poison Breath won't hit you, and it's Photon attack will be the only thing that hits you for a very small amount of damage. However only Wakka and Lulu will be able to hit Evrae at long range. Cid will also lend a hand by firing up to 3 missile volleys at Evrae. Since you're safe at this distance you can easily lop off half of Evrae's HP before things get difficult. When Evrae's HP gets low, it'll advance forward and take a swipe at all characters, damaging all of them substantially. You won't be able to retreat back anymore because Evrae will do this on each and every turn it gets when you pull away. So you'll have to fight in close quarters. Evrae further makes this battle more difficult by casting Haste on itself, which you won't be able to get rid of at all. Have Rikku use Al Bhed Potions and Hi-Potions to heal the party each and every turn she gets. Whatever you do, don't cast Haste on your characters, or else Evrae will respond by casting Slow on them. Keep hacking away at Evrae and recover your HP after each attack Evrae does, and you should be okay. Always remember to use an Al Bhed Potion ASAP after Evrae hits you with Poison Breath, and you should be okay.

text: Lac de Joux and the nearly adjacent but much smaller Lac Brenet have no surface drainage: the water trickles away underground and only comes to the surface again a few kilometres away near Vallorbe. In July and August there is just one scheduled boat service every day on the Lac de Joux, doing a round trip in the afternoons, starting at Le Pont at the north-eastern end of the lake. In June and September, the boat only runs on Saturdays and Sundays. This makes the Lac de Joux shipping company one of the smallest in Switzerland, and a ride on the lake something really special.

Often, presidential elections can bring out the worst in people.
But I feel it can bring out the best.
While running errands on Tuesday, Nov. 6, I couldn't help but smile at every person I saw proudly sporting their "I voted" sticker. I didn't know who they voted for, nor did it matter. They were proud to be American, proud to be a part of something big.
Pictures were posted all over social networking sites of people by the voting sign or with their stickers. Everyone was in an uproar of patriotism and proud to be an American.
What a beautiful sight!
When results started rolling in, my family ordered pizza and sat around the TV anxiously waiting. What an exciting couple of hours. There are no words to explain it! It was such an adrenal rush. Our candidate of choice would win one state, and then lose the next.
This is the second presidential election I have been old enough to vote in and the first that I have had children and a family.
If your candidate of choice didn't win, it is normal and OK to feel disappointed. But let's not lose focus of the big picture!
What an amazing country we live in to have the right to vote. Be proud that you stood up for something you believe in. Not all can say that. You will be able to tell your children, grandchildren and maybe even great grandchildren about this one day.
Congrats, President Obama, and congrats voters. You were a part of history. Be proud!

Students are strongly encouraged to have their course schedule finalized before the start of the semester. It is possible to make schedule changes after the semester begins. To do so, the student must be in registered status.
Courses may be dropped and added during the first ten calendar days of the semester. Starting with the eleventh calendar day, a $6.00 fee is charged for each course transaction (drop or add) processed. A tuition penalty may apply when dropping a course. The drop/add process can be completed at the Registrar's Office in the Main Classroom Building.
Late Drop
Courses dropped during the first ten calendar days of the semester are not recorded on your academic record. Courses dropped after the first ten days and before the end of the twelfth week are considered late drops, and are recorded on your academic record. There are limitations - (baccalaureate degree - 16 credits; associate degree - 10 credits) on the number of credits you may late drop.
To add a course that is full, the instructor's signature is required. Dropping courses will likely reduce your ability to maintain normal degree progress, possibly delaying graduation. There are also financial issues to consider when dropping courses.
Questions? Please contact us by e-mail <firstname.lastname@example.com>, phone (call 717-771-4057), or visit us at the Registrar's counter, Main Classroom Building.

BIG video – little camera… Hawaii VIDEO from the G-11
Recently my wife Mary and I traveled to the Hawaiian Islands taking our palm-sized G-11 camera along to make photographs. I hate dragging along heavy camera equipment while on vacation and have found that this little camera gets the job done quite nicely without all the extra clutter and weight.
The G-11 not only makes photos that are about the same size as my Canon 1D Mark IV professional camera, but it also shoots fine SD video files by just turning a knob. The camera produces H.265 Quicktime movie files, which can be quickly edited and transmitted easily to YouTube or Facebook. These videos were scaled down to 480 pixels wide x 360 pixels high, a standard SD video export size for my Apple Quicktime software.
I used the video feature when we were pleasantly surprised while humpback whale-watching aboard the Pacific Whale Foundation's catamaran "Ocean Discovery" that sailed out of Lahaina Harbor on Maui on March 5, 2011.
In the first video a mother and a calf humpback whale evaded a group (called a pod) of males by hiding… RIGHT under our boat… much to the joy and amazement of the boat's crew, naturalist and passengers.
Oh yes, in the audio I am trying to explain what's going on to our three-year old grandson Collin, who I emailed these videos to soon thereafter.
The males followed behind the retreating female and calf. As they passed, the naturalist dropped a hydrophone (underwater microphone) to record the sounds of the chase and played it over the vessel's sound system.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Selena Gomez
- 1999
I Love You, You Love Me…
At age 7, Gomez stars on Barney & Friends. "I was very shy when I was little," she tells PEOPLE in 2008. "I didn't know what 'camera right' was. I didn't know what blocking was. I learned everything from Barney." But after two seasons, she says, "[producers] felt like I was getting a little too old, so I got the boot."
- 2007
Teen Witch: Selena on Waverly Place
After doing the Disney Channel rounds on The Suite Life of Zack and Cody and Hannah Montana, Gomez lands her own show, Wizards of Waverly Place. She plays tomboy teen witch Alex on the Disney Channel hit. "I'm nothing like her," Gomez tells the AP of her character. "She's kind of mean and a little bit sassy and I think I'd get in trouble for that."
- 2008
The Next Miley Cyrus
With a TV hit on her hands, Gomez's star-power draws her comparisons to reigning Disney princess Miley Cyrus. "I think it's an honor, it's a good compliment," Gomez tells the AP. In March, Cyrus ignites a reported feud with Gomez when she and her pal Mandy Jiroux mock Gomez and her friend Demi Lovato on YouTube. Both stars deny a feud, with Cyrus saying she's "super sorry" about the video.
Kissing Nick Jonas
The Miley vs. Selena plot thickens when Gomez is linked to Cyrus' ex, Nick Jonas of Jonas Brothers. Although Jonas' rep denies a romance, the stars share similar first kiss stories. "Well, she's an amazing girl, and anybody would be lucky to be dating her," Jonas says of Gomez.
Working BFFs: Selena & Demi
With fellow Barney alum and Camp Rock star Demi Lovato, Gomez shoots the Disney Channel movie, Princess Protection Program. In the original TV flick, Lovato plays a princess-in-hiding who covers as an ordinary teen with the help of Gomez's character. "I'm having a blast!" Gomez says of her newfound fame. "I've been blessed with everything that I'm doing."
- 2009
Selena's Twilight Love
While filming Ramona and Beezus in Vancouver, Gomez is photographed with Twilight hunk Taylor Lautner – who is also in town filming New Moon. The Wizards of Waverly Place star, 16, and the ripped cutie, 17, cuddle during dinner and a movie in the Canadian city. "He has been visiting her on the set and they've been hanging out in Vancouver," says a source close to Gomez.
Cover Girls
With the upcoming premiere of their movie, Princess Protection Program, Gomez and BFF Demi Lovato appear in a special edition of PEOPLE. In the issue, Gomez remains tightlipped about her relationship with Taylor Lautner but says, "I've cared a lot for people. I don't believe I've been strictly in love."
- 2010
Making the 'Scene'
Following the launch of her Kmart clothing line Dream Out Loud, Gomez returns to music, releasing A Year Without Rain – her sophomore effort with her band The Scene. "My influences, especially with this record, would be Cheryl Cole from the U.K. and Katy Perry," she tells Access Hollywood. "The way that they carry themselves and their music styles were very inspiring for me so I kind of made my own version of that."
- 2011
The Kissing Game
After playing coy about her romance with Justin Bieber, Gomez and the tween heartthrob are caught kissing during a Caribbean getaway in St. Lucia. "We just like to hang out. They shouldn't be stopping us from going out to dinner and things like that," Gomez told PEOPLE in December.
- 2012
Bye Bye Bieber
After nearly two years of dating, Gomez ends her relationship with Bieber amid speculation about their rocky romance, which included cryptic Twitter posts, breakup rumors and sightings of the Canadian pop star with other women in recent months. "It's not easy," a source tells PEOPLE, "but the relationship needed to end."

The University's Strategic Plan calls for doubling the percentage of undergraduate students who participate in an international experience by the year 2014. To achieve this goal, funds are being made available to support faculty and their students in short-term study-abroad programs. By providing opportunities for brief, faculty-led international experiences, we hope to encourage undergraduate students to consider studying abroad for longer periods-- a summer, semester, or even an academic year.
A travel seminar is a short-term, faculty-led program which integrates an international experience with an on-campus academic course. Travel would occur during spring break or early summer. Students would be enrolled in a regular course; departments may arrange for students who elect to participate in travel study to enroll for additional credits. It is expected that the program would enroll 8-12 undergraduate students.
Funding will cover a part of students' travel expenses; faculty expenses will be fully covered by the grant or through other sources.
For more information and application, click here.
Taiwan Scholarships are offered to students who wish to enroll in a degree program in Taiwan.
Undergraduate scholarship recipients will be provided with a monthly stipend in the amount of NT$25,000 for four years.
Recipients enrolling in a Masters or PhD program will receive a stipend of NT$30,000 per month for two or three years respectively.
The Huayu Enrichment Scholarship is tailored for students who wish to focus exclusively on the study of Chinese recipients of this scholarship will be given a stipend totaling NT$25,000 per month for up to one year.

A Barony Ridge homeowner is trying to get the town to fix a sinkhole problem in her yard before someone gets hurt.
For years the town has employed temporary fixes but hasn't permanently solved the problem, Tammy Navarro-Owens said.
Neighborhood children play in the front yards, and she's afraid one will stumble into a hole, like the hole she once fell in up to her knee.
A tree root stopped her from going any further, she said.
"I don't even know how deep it was," Navarro-Owens said.
Mayor Bill Collins said the town's stormwater department is working on it.
"I think a solution will be coming reasonably soon," he said. "(Stormwater Manager Robert MacDonald) said we will get it taken care of."
MacDonald said the town is getting estimates to put a liner in place for 470 feet of pipe. The process, he said is, "permanent, very durable and will resolve all the sink hole issues on this pipeline."
However, the behind-the-scenes preparations will take time, he said.
There's no immediate danger to life or property, he said.
The mayor said the town's records don't indicate this has been an ongoing problem. The recent publicity surrounding the man in Florida who died when a sinkhole opened beneath his bedroom has probably prompted her worries, Collins said.
Navarro-Owens, however, said the problem extends much farther back.
She bought her home, near the edge of town limits, in 1987. In her back yard is a storm drain, and a drain pipe runs below ground along the side of her property.
She said she first fell through a hole in 1990, and town representatives came out and filled the hole.
"Every time I call they do come out, but they don't fix or correct whatever's causing the problem," she said.
There is a slight but visible valley between her house and her neighbor's, roughly along the path between storm drains.
Navarro-Owens said that land was originally level; in fact, she said, the slope can be seen in how it's thrown her brick borders off balance.
The latest sinkhole began developing March 4. It was small enough at first that an orange cone was sufficient to mark it, but with the rains the hole grew.
She measured it at almost 22 inches, and at her request a crew returned to tape off the hole.

A variation of the Dutch oven. It is the act of letting a silent fart when in bed with your wife or girlfriend, then slowly lifting your leg beneath the sheets (forming the "tunnel"), and then let your leg down, allowing the weight of the covers to gently waft the stench of your fart into the face of your significant other.
My wife is always complaining that I'm not romantic enough, so last night I gave her a Tunnel of Love.

Tahoe Comedy North will present headlining comedian Tony D'Andrea at the Crystal Bay Casino Crown Room on Wednesday, March 7. Doors open at 7:30 p.m. and show starts at 8:30 p.m.
D'Andrea's act is a whirlwind tour of thoughts and impressions with stops at platforms even D'Andrea doesn't realize are on the itinerary. He's from the old school where material comes from creativity and talent, not requiring shock value to sustain it. And while the jokes, skits and gags can come at you from all angles, they can also be delivered subtly. Borrowing from masters like Jack Benny, D'Andrea can, when he feels it's needed, make people laugh without saying a word. Impressions mixed with standup; when you see D'Andrea, you get Nicholson, Pesci and a whole lot more.
Hosting the show is comedian Mark G, a friendly comic who is genuinely funny and at ease behind the microphone. He is known for his relatable comedy and when he performs, audiences feel like they are spending time with a friend. Thanks to the world famous improvisation institute in San Francisco, Bay Area Theater Sports, Mark G is well known for his incredible improvisational skills.
Guest comedian Myles Webber will be making his comedy debut at Crystal Bay Casino. Myles won his fifth-grade talent show performing stand-up at just 10 years of age. He has since studied the art of making people laugh. A truly delightful force onstage, Myles is sure to deliver many laughs, at his (and your own) expense.
Tickets cost $10 in advance and $15 the day of the show and are available at the Crystal Bay Club, Incline Cleaners, Noah's Video and New Moon Natural Foods. For a complete Tahoe Comedy North schedule, go to www.tahoe

Mastitis occurs in individual cows. Our control programs are designed for the whole herd.
by Amanda Smith, Hoard's Dairyman Associate Editor
"The ideal system for recording clinical mastitis will allow the practitioner to evaluate important cow factors that define the probability of treatment success and assess trends over time," noted Pamela Ruegg, with the University of Wisconsin Quality Milk Group.
To begin involvement in mastitis control programs, Ruegg, presenting at the Minnesota Dairy Health Conference, noted that veterinarians should ensure the following questions can be answered:
- What is the incidence (rate of new cases) of clinical mastitis?
- What proportion of cases are severe (severity score of 3)?
- What are the most common bacteria that are causing clinical mastitis?
- What are the current treatment protocols?
- How many days is milk discarded as a result of treatment?
- How many cases either require changes to the original treatment protocol or experience recurrence of the case within the same lactation?
- What percent of lactating cows are being milked on less than four quarters?
- What percent of cows that experience clinical mastitis are culled in the same lactation or die?
Researchers generally define separate cases of clinical mastitis based on an interval of 14 to 21 days between occurrences. This time period is not based on sound research and may be adapted to meet the needs of the farm.
Key performance indicators that are defined at the cow level (occurrence of mastitis in one or more quarters of a cow) rather than the individual quarter are easier to record and may better reflect the important economic consequences of mastitis.
For the incidence rate, Ruegg suggests targeting the following goals:
- Incidence rate of less than 25 new cases per 100 cows per year (about two to three cases per 100 cows per month).
- Fewer than 30 percent of cases recurring (two or more treatments).
- Less than 20 percent of cows with more than one quarter infected. If the number of cases with more than two quarters affected divided by the total number of cases is greater than 1.4, there could be a mycoplasm issue.
- The number of days milk is discarded per case should be between four and six unless cows are receiving extended therapy. This parameter is an indicator of protocol compliance.
In our blog last Thursday, Somatic cells: the best indicator of subclinical infections, we discussed Ruegg's key parameters for assessing subclinical mastitis.
The author is an associate editor and an animal science graduate of Cornell University. Smith covers feeding, milk quality and heads up the World Dairy Expo Supplement. She grew up on a Medina, N.Y., dairy, and interned at a 1,700-cow western New York dairy, a large New York calf and heifer farm, and studied in New Zealand for one semester.
