If the heart fails to pump a sufficient amount of blood, it is crucial to know why in order to provide the best treatment. Pressure-volume analysis is the gold standard for evaluating the heart's pumping function. Unfortunately, current techniques are invasive, so most patients will not get this examination. By combining the strengths of echo-Doppler ultrasound, blood pressure monitoring and biomedical computing, the investigators aim to develop a non-invasive method for pressure-volume analysis, extending its applicability to more patients and settings.

|Attention Before you read this tutorial, I highly recommend you check out my resources page for access to the tools and services I use to not only maintain my system but also fix all my computer errors, by clicking here!
The question of what is spam can be summed up as the nefarious use of electronic messaging services and systems to send unsolicited messages to unexpected mail users. These messages are usually advertisements for a particular service or product. While email spam is the most recognised form of spam, there are a number of other similar abuses that fit into this category, such as: messaging spam, mobile phone spam, social networking spam and spam in blogs.
Spamming is a very lucrative, though unscrupulous way of making money, as operating costs are nonexistent, outside of managing the various mailing lists, and it's also very difficult for the sender to be held accountable for his/her actions, giving the spammer a sense of security. Because the level of difficulty in spamming is relatively low, this makes it most appealing, resulting in an ever increasing number of unsolicited emails. There were seven trillion unsolicited emails in the year 2011 alone. All of this amounts to increasing costs, due to lost productivity and fraud, leaving the internet service providers and end user to fork the bill.
Email Spam
Being bombarded with various unsolicited emails such as fake bank emails, adult services emails, payday loan emails and various pharmaceutical products emails, is something that we've all become accustomed to nowadays. However, through the use of a spam filter, it's possible for you to thwart these emails, providing you take the appropriate steps.
Over 90% of all emails sent over the internet are spam; this means email users spend a considerable amount of time, deleting most of the mail they receive. The unfortunate development is that spammers are becoming increasingly more sophisticated, producing more authentic looking emails, that many people are now falling victim to.
Spammers usually purchase very large email lists from third party businesses. You could fall prey to a spammer if you:
- Post messages on a forum
- Give your email address to online business
- Sign up to any service
- Market your email address on your personal website.
Stopping Email Spam
Your approach to tackling spam is what is most crucial.
- Never click on the links inside emails that have been sent by someone you are unfamiliar sender.
- Never purchase anything from an unsolicited email. As you run the risk of not only compromising the security of your system, but also infecting it with a virus.
- Never reply to spam emails.
- Never threaten a spammer. This is because the spammer has rights too, so using threatening language in your response to him/her could land you in trouble.
- Consider using multiple email address. You could setup an email account specifically for buying things online, and if it starts to become cluttered with junk emails, then you can simply discard it and start another.
- Make sure you never reveal your email address on any websites you frequent. This is will prevent spam bots from harvesting it.
Spam Filters
Spam filters are ingenious tools that are capable of blocking a good amount of unsolicited emails. Many email services today, come with spam filters as standard. One thing you should be aware of is a feature called white-listing, as its implementation means, you will have to actively mark certain emails as Not Spam otherwise they can get caught up in the Spam folder.
It's not uncommon for people to miss certain emails due to this feature, despite the fact that the email is still retrievable, in the Spam folder. Thus, it's very important that you mark known email address as Not Spam.
Instant Messaging Spam
Instant messaging spam or Spim, as it's also called, is when spam messages are sent through instant messaging (IM) services. Although not quite as expansive as email spam, it continues to grow, reaching more users each year. 10 years ago, there were reports of over 500 million spam messages being sent over IM services, a number that doubled the following year. As it becomes more and more commonplace, it will start to have a negative impact on the business world, as it will begin to eat away at cooperate resources, creating all new security problems.
IM is one of the most convenient avenues for spammers nowadays. This is primarily due to the fact that IM users are more likely to click on the links in the messages they receive. Another luxury these spammers enjoy is being able to bypass any firewall or antivirus software, when attempting to get malicious software onto the host's computer. The good news is that corporations, governments and ISPs are all working together to combat spam of this form; the implementation of the Can-Spam Act of 2003 is just one of the many measures taken to combat this problem. As more and more anti-spam measures are put in place, essentially frustrating your conventional spammer, these individuals will slowly move into instant messaging spam.
One of the most effective ways for you to protect yourself from Spim is to block messages from people, who are not on your buddy list, or to create a permission list and only allow messages from those you put on it. To do this, in the 3 most popular IM programs, follow the instructions below:
Yahoo! Messenger
1. Load up Yahoo! Messenger, and then log in by putting in your Yahoo! ID and Password and clicking on Sign in.
2. Once logged in, click on Messenger -> Preferences.
3. This will bring up the Yahoo! Messenger Preferences applet, from here click on Ignore List on the left hand column. Then select Ignore anyone who is not in my Yahoo! contacts, then click on Apply and OK.
AOL Instant Messenger
1. Load up AIM, then put in your Email address or username and Password and click on Sign in.
2. Once it's loaded up, click on File -> Preferences.
3. This will bring up AIM Preferences, from here click on the Privacy Tab, and then click on Only users in my contact list, then close the applet.
1. First, load up Skype and then click on Skype Name (if you have a Skype Account) or Microsoft Account (if you're migrating from MSN Messenger).
2. Then put in your Account Name/Email and Password, and click on Sign In.
3. Once Skype has logged in, click on Skype -> Privacy.
4. This will bring up Skype Options, from here click on people in my Contact list only, under Allow IMs from… and click on Save.
Mobile Phone Spam
This form of spam, though not exclusively, is directed primarily at the text messaging component of mobile phones, and it goes by a number of different names such as text spam, mobile spamming, m-spam and SMS spam.
During the rapid rise in popularity of mobile phones, which was around the early part of the 2000s, frequent users of the text messaging service began to notice an increasing number of unsolicited messages being sent to their mobile phones, much of which were advertisements for products and services, such as payday loans and life insurance policies. The most annoying part about mobile phone spam is that, unlike with email spam, it is possible for the recipient to be charged for every message that they receive, and that includes the spam.
Mobile phone spam isn't nearly as widespread as email spam, where email users can expect over 90% of the email they receive to be spam. The amount of mobile phone spam that a phone user may receive varies, depending on where he or she lives. In North America for example, mobile phone spam has experienced upward growth for the past couple years, however despite this revelation, it still only stands at 1% of all text messages sent over a phone. In parts of Asia on the other hand, you can expect over 30% of all text messages you receive on your phone to be spam.
The stark difference between the actions of the mobile phone spammers across the world can be attributed to the differences in costs (to the spammer) and any technological barriers, such as law enforcement agencies, that exist in certain parts of the world. Today, you will find that the vast majority of mobile phone spam is sent using a prepaid unlimited messaging rate plan.
Blocking Mobile Phone Spam
There are a number of things you can do to curtail spam on your phone. However, some of the more successful methods are as follows:
- Block all text messages to your phone that have been sent from the internet. Because the vast majority of mobile phone spam is sent from the internet, asking your phone provider to block all internet messages from reaching your phone is a good place for you to start.
- Consider creating an alias. If you would still like to receive certain internet messages, such as those sent by a company that you frequently patronise, then you could create a unique alias, that way all messages addressed specifically to that alias will get through, whereas everything else will be blocked. This acts as a filter, blocking the spammers, who typically find their mark, by sending text messages to random numbers. Just be sure to only give your alias out to websites and people that you would like to receive internet messages from.
- If you have a phone provider that allows you to block all text messages except those that have been sent to a specific address, then you could open up an email account that has built in anti-spam software then have all your text messages funnelled through that email account, by giving out that specific email address to others.
- Block a specific website, phone number of email address. The vast majority of phone providers provide this feature as standard, and it can come in handy, especially if you're dealing with a persistent spammer.
Spam in Blogs
Blog spam, comment spam or social spam as it's sometimes called, is a form of spamdexing (a technique used for manipulating the search engines). These spammers typically use automated tools to post random comments, copy information from other websites, or promote a product to a specific wiki, blog or guestbook. Any web resource that accepts links that are submitted by visitors is targeted by these spammers.
Why Comment Spam Is So Bad
There are many site owners out there, that feel, (in an attempt to inflate the number of people commenting on their posts) that it's a good idea to approve, virtually every comment under their posts, even those that are not relevant to the topic discussed in the posts. Well this behaviour is harmful, for a number of reasons, because:
- Google has recently started to come down heavily on bad links. This recent behaviour by Google, not only encompasses sites that purchase links, but also those that perpetuate it. Thus, it's in your best interest to ensure that you are not allowing bad links on your site, as its effects can be longstanding.
- A site that has a lot of comment spam on it shows to others that it is not being properly moderated. A site that lacks proper moderation, paints an ugly perception of itself in the eyes of its visitors.
- There's also that possibility that you could lose readers to your site. Being aware of where all the links in your site are pointing to is important, because an unsuspecting reader could click on one of these links and be taken to a totally irrelevant website.
Anti-Spam Plug-ins
There is a number of plug-ins out there that are designed specifically for reducing the amount of comment spam to your blog. The more popular ones are as follows:
- Akismet – This plug-in comes with your WordPress blog, and acts as a filter, filtering out all the comments that it feels is spam. In order for you to activate it, you will need an API key, which you can acquire from the Akismet website. For personal blogs, it's free to use, but for non-personal blogs, you can expect to pay up to $50 per month. This tool is not completely foolproof, which means, you will need to check your spam folder from time to time, as you may find some legitimate comments in there.
- CommentLuv – This is another spam-related plug-in. This tool allows the author to leave a link to the latest post on their website, every time they leave a comment on your site. This tool has the added advantage of encourage commenting, while at the same time, filtering out spammers.
Note: Click on the plug-ins name for more information.
Social Networking Spam
This kind of spam is directed at those who use one of the many social network services such as Facebook, LinkedIn, Google+, Pinterest and MySpace. Estimates put the amount of social media spam accounts at 40%. Through these accounts, spammers can do a demographic search or browse the various groups and fan pages in order to send their notes. These notes will usually contain links to various products and services. In an attempt to combat this trend, many social networks have implemented a 'report spam/abuse' button or an address which you can forward such notes to. However, spammers have their own countermeasures in place, which involve moving from one fraudulent account to another.
The Various Types of Attacks
Users have a number of different avenues available to them when it comes to creating content on social network sites. However, spammers are also privy to these tools, which they use to their own end. The types of attacks one might encounter are as follows:
Like-jacking attacks: The concept behind this particular attack is fairly simple. These cybercriminals begin by creating an interesting post, which is used as bait. To ensure its popularity, these criminals will typical create a post around celebrity news, hot gossip or social events.
Users, who then click on the links, unintentionally act as accomplices, as the malicious script within the post, reposts, all the videos, links and/or images to the wall of the user. A more modified version of this particular attack entails getting the user to 'like' a post without their consent, in order to perpetuate itself around the website.
Spam Tweets: Cybercriminals utilise Twitter's character limitation to their own end, by creating multiple short but interesting tweets that have links in them. An example of these tweets may include a promotion for free vouchers, a brief testimonial for a service or product or an advertisement for a job. There are also Twitter spam tools, which makes the whole process that much easier.
Malware Downloads: In addition to spam tweets, cybercriminals also use twitter to spread tweets that have links to pages that contain malware on them. A more sophisticated version of this method involves using video-related posts, which leads to a fake YouTube page where the intended purpose is that the unsuspecting user will download a malicious file to their computer.
How Can You Prevent These Attacks?
The type of anti-spam measures you'd adopt for email and web spam is still applicable here for avoiding most threats in the social media theatre. Users need to train themselves to be cautious of fraudulent notifications which are styled to appear legitimate. When browsing the pages and profiles of users, it also important that users understand that they are vulnerable to malicious scripts and files. Despite the sense of community that exists within these social networks, users shouldn't forget that cybercriminals are on the prowl, looking for any little opportunity to exploit.
Users should also make a consorted effect to protect their data. Users should see things from the perspective that all things that are posted online, are accessible to the general public. Apart from being cautious when posting, users should also never share any sensitive information through private chat sessions or messages. As this information can easily be extracted if your account is hacked.
To prevent this from happening to oneself, it's very important that you familiarise yourself with the security settings of the social media site that you use. For example, on Facebook it's possible for you to create access lists, which you can use to control the kind of information that people can see. In addition, enabling secure connection options (HTTPS) on both Twitter and Facebook adds an additional layer of protection, as it will encrypt all data.

Making school relevant
The words "relevance" and "rigor" are getting tossed around a lot in the discussion about Florida high school reform these days. As in, how can we make course work for teens more relevant to their future, seeing as half don't go to college? And, how can we ensure that the programs are rigorous enough that when the students finish, they have marketable skills for a high-wage job? The Senate Education Committee takes up a bill this afternoon that would require school districts to not only ponder these questions, but also do something about it. A key mandate would be for each school district to have at least one professional academy up and running by the 2008-09 school year. Is this the right path for Florida's high schools? Or does the answer lie elsewhere?

Over 200 people joined together in sunshine for the Good Friday Walk around the town centre.
This was arranged by Churches Together in Bexhill (CTIB) and almost 20 member churches were represented. People assembled at the De La Warr Pavilion Metropole Lawn and were welcomed by CTIB chairman, the Rev Graham Holliday. At the head of the Walk a large cross was carried. The event was arranged by Michael Ensor, and traffic marshalls were under the guidance of John Black.
Good Friday commemorates the sacrifice of Jesus Christ on the cross at Calvary. The Walk stopped briefly in Devonshire Square when the hymn 'There is a green hill far away' was introduced by Rev Graham Holliday and sung, and prayers said for the town and community. The Walk then proceeded to the Town Hall Square and after the singing of 'When I survey the wondrous cross' and further prayers, the cross was erected and remained there until Bank Holiday Monday.
The cross is symbolic of the Christian faith and on Easter Day services in all of the churches celebrated the wonder of our Lord's resurrection. Churches of the town are united in their commemoration of Good Friday and this is part of the reason for the Walk, in addition to the witness to the people in the town. Leaflets were handed out to any who wanted to know more.
CTIB has made plans for all churches to unite in open air hymn singing at the Colonnade on Sundays July 6, 13 and 20 at 8pm, and then on Sunday July 27 at 6pm a united time of celebration will be held in the De La Warr Pavilion theatre. All are invited and will be given a warm welcome at any of the CTIB churches.

FORT COLLINS, Colorado - A 14-year-old boy and his uncle died fishing on a Colorado river on Memorial Day after the child fell in and his uncle tried to save him, CBS Denver reports.
The boy slipped into the Cache la Poudre River as the two were fishing in Poudre Canyon, west of Fort Collins, on Monday. His 38-year-old uncle jumped in after him.
The uncle was rescued two miles downstream. He was taken to a hospital nearby by helicopter but died Monday night.
The teenager was found by kayakers three hours later, eight miles downstream from where he had fallen in.
Neither of their names was released.
"At one point both of them were together but the little boy was barely keeping his head above water," said Lupe Ybarra, who was nearby when the accident happened.
Rescuers said they were hampered by the harsh conditions in the river and the steep conditions of the Poudre Canyon.
A third man was injured trying to rescue the uncle. He was reportedly hospitalized in good condition on Tuesday.
Caleb Schwartz and Jake Stone helped to get the uncle out of the water. They said they saw him floating unconscious.
"We ran in the water and luckily right there it was about knee deep and not over our heads," one said.

Providence police officer killed in motorcycle crash
The mayor of Providence ordered city flags to half-staff Sunday in memory of a veteran police officer who was killed in a motorcycle crash.
Police said 43-year-old John Reposa Jr. was killed Saturday night when his motorcycle collided with a car at the intersection of North Road and Westwind Drive in Jamestown. Reposa was off-duty.
Providence Mayor Angel Taveras said in a statement that Reposa served in the patrol division, the motorcycle squad, the narcotics bureau and the traffic bureau. Reposa also was a member of the Providence Police Honor Guard and the Police Pipes and Drums Corps.
"He had a big personality and a big heart and was well liked by the community and his fellow officers, who nicknamed him 'All City John' because he was always there to provide backup," Taveras said.
Taveras said Reposa served with distinction and honor.{} Arrangements were pending.
"Officer Reposa will be remembered for going beyond the call of duty last year, when he and a fellow officer safely returned a child who wandered off to her family, and then personally replaced an iPad that the child had lost. His compassion and integrity will never be forgotten," Taveras said.
The driver and only person in the car, Marijke Landon, 44, of North Carolina, was not hurt.
No charges were immediately filed.

porting and flashing
hello experts,
I would like to know the difference between the terms FLASHING and PORTING...Generally, used as same...I don`t get it...Are they really sort of same or there exists real big differences..
ex-porting u-boot onto some board !!
n flashing u-boot onto some board!!
Any help or pointers are appreciated..
Porting is the processes of moving software from one platform to another; making the necessary changes to the code and recompiling for the target machine.
Flashing is the process of writing firmware onto a device.
In other words, they are completely different.
Am I right when I say this :::
when i cross compile a linux kernel and rootfs for my target board or any other device then it is actually PORTING...
when I put firmware software (like u-boot or bare-metal programs or BIOS) into the memory of the device then it is flashing...
ex-#flashing# the bIOS of pc,
The flashing description is correct.
Porting isn't just cross-compiling; it's the process of making the software available on the platform for the first time. So part of the porting process is the creation of the cross-compiler itself.
So when the people in Embedded Domain, says that I ported (bla bla bla..anything) to some device/SBC etc... are they wrong??
because they are not the first to port it to the hardware, even if they build the toolchain themselves!!
ALL has been already done na!
People misuse terminology all the time. If they do it often enough, the meaning changes. The word 'hacking' is a good example; the media have turned it from the original meaning, 'recreational programming', to 'criminal security violation'.
It sounds like the folks you're referring to are misusing 'port' to mean 'cross compile'.
Guess, I am Drunk, too much confused!
srry for the inconvenience to you!!
but sir,
but as what I understand
1.Cross Compile means that compiling the source code for the target system on the HOST is one task
2.making the image run/execute on the target is second task..
after cross compiling on target, _____ process is done to make the image run on target system..
I mean what should I say, when I cross compile a program image on HOST then execute on the target system!
Can I say that I have ported this onto my embedded device?
Let's see:
cleared out the point..

A criminal investigation is under way after the county Department of Animal Services seized 22 horses and other animals Monday from a Ramona woman, the same owner of 10 mistreated horses that were taken by the county in May.
Officials have been monitoring Lori Patton since some of her horses were seized two months ago from her property off state Route 78 because they lacked proper food and water, said Harold Holmes, deputy director for the animal services agency. In May, Patton told investigators that one of her horses had died earlier in the year.
This week, they seized her remaining horses, all of which were underweight and many had poor hoof and dental care, Holmes said.
"The owner was not providing the necessary care to improve the health of the horses which left us no choice but to seize her animals and take them into protective custody," said Animal Services Director Dawn Danielson in a statement.
Eight dogs and puppies, one cat, one rabbit, one guinea pig and three mice were also taken from her property, a place she recently moved to on Old Julian Road, where Patton bred the horses to sell.
County authorities notified Patton on July 15 that they would take the animals if conditions did not improve. She contested the seizure at a hearing a few days later, but on Monday the county received permission to take the animals.
They are being held and treated at the department's facility in Carlsbad and another undisclosed location.
Patton can reclaim her animals within the next two weeks if she can pay for their medical and housing fees, and prove she can care for them properly.
She was able to pay the fees for two of the horses that were taken in May, and the rest were put up for adoption. Those two horses were among those seized Monday, Holmes said.
Investigators intend to turn their report over to the District Attorney's Office in the coming weeks for possible prosecution.

Fielding returns to Derby
Derby have completed the loan signing of Blackburn goalkeeper Frank Fielding.
Fielding, 22, had a spell at Pride Park earlier this season and has now rejoined until the end of the campaign after Stephen Bywater and Saul Deeney were struck down by injuries.
Speaking to the club`s official website, manager Nigel Clough said: "We are delighted to have brought Frank back to the club and he will go straight into the team (against Sheffield United) on Saturday.
"We know all about Frank and he knows about us, so it`s an obvious choice and we are really pleased to have got this one over the line as there were a number of other Championship teams who wanted to take him."

The South Region: Hansbrough and Griffin Prepare For ShowdownMarch 18, 2009
The South Region of the NCAA Tournament features the best player in college basketball, Blake Griffin, the hottest player in the land, Johnny Flynn, and one of the best college players of all-time, Tyler Hansbrough.
North Carolina (28-4, 13-3) is the odds on favorite to win it all. Despite looking sporadic on defense throughout the season, the Heels dominated opponents all season long. Hansbrough is looking to cement his legacy as one of the most accomplished college players ever, and if Ty Lawson gets healthy, there is no team that can equal the Heels' talent.
An efficient offensive opponent could pose problems for UNC, but the Tar Heels are averaging over 90 points a game and are scoring, on average, 18 more points a game than their opponents.
Oklahoma (27-5, 13-3) is led by Griffin. He led the nation in rebounding during the regular season, and has shown that he can put up 30 points on any given night. The Sooners stumbled down the stretch a little, and lost key games against elite opponents, but as long as they have a healthy Griffin they are a title contender.
Oklahoma will rely on Griffin the same way Syracuse relied on Carmello Anthony, Ohio State on Greg Oden, Gonzaga on Adam Morrison, and…well…you get the point.
Willie Warren will be the Mo Williams to Griffin's LeBron James. Warren is arguably the best freshman scorer in the country, and if he continues to create off the dribble, the Sooners could find themselves in Detroit.
Syracuse (26-9, 11-7) is riding high after a phenomenal Big East Tournament. Their six overtime thriller against UConn showed their unrelenting will to win. Following that game with another overtime thriller against West Virginia showed their desire to fulfill their destiny.
They are an unselfish squad with five players averaging in double digits. Flynn is the Orange's go to guy. Averaging 17.5 points, and 6.7 assists, per game, he showed superior conditioning by setting a Big East Tournament record for minutes played.
Eric Devendorf and Andy Rautins could be the key for the Syracuse. If they play like they did in the Big East Tourney, Syracuse could challenge Oklahoma and UNC in this bracket.
Gonzaga (26-5, 14-0) is the region's number four. They draw Akron (23-12, 10-6), who hasn't been to the tourney in 23 years. The tough-minded Zips generate a lot of turnovers on defense. They are a perimeter oriented team with a poor shooting percentage.
The Bulldogs of Gonzaga have one of the most potent offenses in the country. Everyone on the team can bury the three. Austin Daye and Josh Heytvelt are fully capable of controlling the paint, and with Hansbrough and Griffin lurking, their ability down low to defend makes the 'Zags a Final Four caliber team.
Illinois (24-9, 11-7) draws a tough Western Kentucky (24-8, 15-3) squad that has a knack for making noise in the tourney. Orlando Mendez-Valdez and A.J. Slaughter are the primary threats for the Hilltoppers. They helped lead Western Kentucky to an upset of Louisville early in the season. Jeremy Evans is solid underneath, and doesn't miss to many baskets when called upon.
If the Hilltoppers get hot, expect them to make a run in this bracket.
Illinois will counter with a defense that has held opponents to under 40 percent shooting and 56.6 points per game. They will rely heavily on emerging sophomores Mike Davis and Mike Tisdale. The loss of Chester Frazier hurts on both sides of the ball, and may ultimately be to much for the Fighting Illini to overcome.
Arizona State (24-9, 11-7) has one of the top 20 scoring defenses in the country. Considering the firepower of the Pac 10, this makes them all the more impressive.
The Sun Devils let the Pac 10 Tourney slip away from them. This is a team capable of beating anyone they play, but they tend to play to the level of their competition and this can pose problems in a one-and-done environment.
Dionte Christmas leads the Temple Owls with 19.2 points per game. He is a stud who could single handedly carry Temple in the Sweet 16. With the level of the play in the NCAA Tourney, the Owls will need someone else to step up if they are to advance at all.
Temple is a top 30 team in regards to assists. They move the ball well, and typically find an open shooter. That open shooter tends to be Christmas. The likely options to step up are Lavoy Allen or Ryan Brooks. If this team is to go anywhere these two will need to have the weekend of their careers.
Michigan (20-13, 9-9) managed to sneak into the tournament as a No. 10 seed. Victories against UCLA and Duke certainly helped their cause.
Michigan is a low percentage shooting team, with only one player shooting above 42 percent. Manny Harris and DeShawn Sims are the one-two punch for the Wolverines, but after them it's anyone's guess on who will step up.
Michigan draws the No. 7 seed Clemson (23-8, 9-7) in the first round. Clemson went undefeated out of conference (14-0), but only a win against Duke stands out from their in-conference schedule. Teams are to easily able to get inside and dominate the boards against the Tigers. Trevor Booker will need to be big on the post for Clemson if they are to have a chance.
LSU (26-7, 13-3), the region's No. 8 seed, and Butler (26-5, 15-3), the region's No. 9 seed, will square off in what should be a solid basketball game.
Trent Johnson has LSU playing great defense this season. Marcus Thornton has the ability to drive the lane, as well as shoot the mid-ranged jumper. The Tigers played well in a weak SEC, but they did little out-of-conference.
LSU will go as far as Thornton takes them. A focused Thornton could pose problems for Butler, as well as potential problems for UNC in the second round.
Butler plays patient offense and ferocious defense. They are very similar to Bulldog teams of the past that have raised havoc in March. Matt Howard is one of the most unheralded big men around. Gordon Hayward and Sheldon Mack play well beyond their years, and they could lead Butler into a second round showdown with UNC if they continue to disregard the pressure surrounding them.
This bracket has the most anticipated one-two matchup of any region. UNC and Oklahoma should find themselves staring at one another in the Elite Eight.
Syracuse could pose problems for any team if they get hot, just ask UConn, but the question will remain, how much do they have left in the tank?
Gonzaga could finally live up to the hype if they could build a little momentum. Reaching the Final Four would solidify Gonzaga as Memphis' chief opposition in regards to the best program from a non-power conference.
When it comes down to it, it is hard to pick against Hansbrough and Griffin. Expect them to meet up in the Elite Eight where UNC's superior perimeter play should carry them into the final four.

HP prepares 'unique' Windows 8 tablet
Speaking to CRN earlier this week, Solomon suggested that the tablet will be primarily geared up to cater for enterprise users and the rising bring-your-own-device (BYOD) trend.
"We will be very focused on the commercial tablet opportunity, which is completely under penetrated. And, we have some unique intellectual property that we're going to apply," said Solomon, who is the senior vice president of Americas sales for HP's printing and personal systems division.
Previous reports have thrown up that HP's Windows 8 tablet could have an enterprise dock, a digital pen and support outdoor viewing. HP NC6400 Battery itself has even suggested that its Windows 8 tablets may turn up with own-brand cloud storage.
However, with little known aside that, TabTimes contacted two prominent mobile analysts to get their views on this 'unique' technology.
HP probook 4510s spare laptop battery
- Li-ion, 10.8V, 4400mAh
- only AU $53.85
"The message about unique intellectual property for commercial tablets is vague at best. This could mean anything from a method to ease user identification and authorization to use a workplace device, to gesture recognition for automating common functionality", said ABI Research's Jeff Orr.
"HP's Windows 8 tablet could focus on the enterprise with "unique IP" around semi-rugged to fully rugged removable keyboards that target knowledge workers (semi-rugged) and task workers/field workers (fully rugged)", said Chris Hazelton, research director at 451 Research.
"The challenge today for android tablets, and what is the largest barrier for tablet adoption in the enterprise, is the ability to provide a widely accepted input mechanism for authoring a large volume of content.
"If HP can tackle this with a highly mobile, robust, and well integrated keyboard it could see huge adoption in the enterprise with its Windows 8 tablet."

Multiple Dog Insurance
Buy multiple dog insurance from Pets Insure Together
Although it is more common to find multiple cats in one home, we also know that households are more and more open to multiple dogs. They may be a part of the same family, or just very good friends. Either way, more than one dog in the house means more mouths to feed, and also more pets to insure. Insurance companies know that you want the best deal possible when it comes to insuring more than one pet, and that's why many offer discount deals when you insure more than one pet on the same policy.
At Pets Insure Together we offer a 10% additional discount when you insure multiple pets. If you were to insure each dog individually, it would definitely add up. With multi-pet insurance each dog will have their own individual policy, but the money you save will give you peace of mind without breaking the bank.

Home Healthcare Presents Design Challenges
The human body is an analog, real-time system. Therapy devices that approximate our bodies' natural time constants will be more effective than those delivered weekly in a clinic. Kidney dialysis and insulin delivery are just two examples of this. To unlock the potential of more frequent therapy, medical devices must move out of the doctor's office and travel with patients to their homes and offices. But, this great opportunity is not without its challenges. The same patient who stands to reap great benefit from a home medical device may instead endanger themselves by applying the device incorrectly. For example, the FDA recently released an instructional video1 reminding CPAP patients of seemingly obvious tips like:
- Do not tape the mask to your face
- Read and follow the instruction manual
- Clean the device regularly to prevent buildup of dirt/mold
When considering device safety and effectiveness, professional users in a controlled environment can no longer be assumed. Instead, trained patient interpreters, such as ethnographers, usability analysts, and industrial/interaction designers, must be complimentarily folded into teams traditionally composed of hardware engineers and medical experts. For home-use medical devices, user experience is as important as technical function for the effective delivery of therapy.

The defense team for accused Fort Hood shooter Maj. Nidal Hasan on Wednesday began what could be the last phase of a protracted appeals battle that has held Hasan's trial in limbo for months.
The prosecution filed two writs to the Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces on Wednesday night, asking the court to prohibit the U.S. Army from shaving Hasan, overturn contempt rulings and remove the presiding Fort Hood judge from the case.
No immediate timeline was available for a ruling, but this latest round of arguments should be the last hurdle cleared before Hasan's trial is allowed to begin. It took about a month for Hasan's appeals to be denied by a lower court.
The Court of Appeals for the Armed Forces, the highest military court, is the last stop for Hasan's appeals before the U.S. Supreme Court.
Hasan's former defense attorney, John Galligan, said the trial likely would be allowed to resume even if the Supreme Court decided to take up the matter.
"It would be viewed as more of an intellectual matter," Galligan said. "I don't see (the Supreme Court) staying it on these particular issues."
Again, Hasan's government-appointed attorneys have sought to disqualify Fort Hood judge Col. Gregory Gross for his handling of legal arguments about Hasan's decision to grow a beard.
Though their arguments surround the same points, Hasan's defense team continued to add in the most recent filings examples of where they believe Gross erred or illustrated animus toward Hasan.
Hasan's attorneys cited numerous examples they said showed or added to Gross' bias, including that Gross was on post when the Nov. 5, 2009, shooting occurred, his decision to hold numerous shortened contempt hearings without allowing testimony, fining Hasan repeatedly for growing a beard and incidents where the judge cleaned up soiled adult diapers left by Hasan in a bathroom at the courthouse.
The appeal also states that Gross acted favorably toward the prosecution by granting them hearings without consulting the defense and acting upon a request to have a contempt-of-court hearing for Hasan.
The defense team also said Gross became "analogous to a prosecutor," by holding the summary contempt proceedings.
In six hearings leading up to the trial delay, Gross held Hasan in contempt for disobeying his rule to appear clean shaven. At each hearing, he fined the 42-year-old Army psychiatrist $1,000.
Hasan first appeared with a beard he claims to have grown for religious purposes in June. In the latest filing, his attorneys pointed to Gross's perceived reversal.
At the outset, Gross noted that he had no reason to disbelieve that Hasan had grown his beard out of religious faith, but that it defied military regulations.
As the hearings progressed, Gross became skeptical when the prosecution argued that Hasan could have grown a beard in order to prevent witnesses from identifying him at trial.
The prosecution also stated that Hasan could have grown a beard purely to defy the Army and government and to identify with the mujahideen.
Hasan has told the court his imprisonment, medical condition and a premonition of his own death led him to deepen his faith and grow a beard.
"I determine that I couldn't risk death without having taken this mandatory step along a pious Islamic path," he has stated. "Regardless of how long I live or when I may die, I believe my faith requires me to grow a beard."
Hasan is charged with 13 counts of premeditated murder and 32 counts of attempted premeditated murder. If convicted, he could face the death penalty.

SARATOGA SPRINGS -- Ball Corporation, which has a plant in the city's industrial park, announced this week it will close two plastic bottle manufacturing plants, one in Baldwinsville and another in Watertown, Wis. The Baldwinsville plant, which employs 113 people, is one of three Ball Corp. plants in New York and will cease operations on July 7.
The other two New York plants, including the one in Saratoga Springs and one in Walkill, will remain open.
Steve DiLoreto, Saratoga Springs plant manager, said there are no plans to close that plant, which employs more than 200 people.
"I don't think it's necessarily a precursor for things to come in New York state," he said of the Baldwinsville plant closing. "It's just, you know, your standard economic business decision."
DiLoreto added that because of high utility costs and other taxes and regulations, it has become more difficult for Ball Corp. to continue operations in New York.
"We are in a low-margin business, and we're competing with other packaging companies with plants outside of New York state, and our utilities costs -- which are a big percentage of our manufacturing cost -- are significantly higher in New York state than in other states," he said.
New legislation -- like the bottle deposit bill and so-called "obesity tax" on non-diet sodas -- also have a detrimental effect on the bottle manufacturing industry. "Those are all things that either add costs to our business or basically just push business out of New York state," DiLoreto said.
�The Saratoga Springs plant manufactures 12-ounce aluminum cans, and the Walkill plant manufactures specialty-sized cans for things like energy drinks, so neither is expected to absorb employees from the Baldwinsville plastic bottle plant.
"There's no real overlap in the skills," DiLoreto said.
He expects that the company will probably move some of the Baldwinsville operations to a plant in Delran, N.J., the closest plastic bottle manufacturing plant.
The Baldwinsville plant opened in 1996 and was expanded in 2002. "There's been money poured into that business over the past 13 years," DiLoreto said.
The Saratoga Springs plant has been in operation since 1981.

The 67-year-old Grand Blanc man has been collecting license plates since he was in high school and bought two dollars' worth at ten cents apiece at a junk yard.
Since then, he's never stopped, and now he sells them at car shows.
Mindorff had his display set up in front of his 1936 Pontiac--once a police car--at the Flint Township Back to the Bricks Tune Up party. The collection features one box with a collection of a plate from every state. Others are categorized by how old they are.
Two his prized possessions he had for sale are plates from 1914 and 1918, though he has plenty more at home--enough to cover three walls of his garage, he said.
"They make a nice display on the wall," he said when asked why he collects them. "And it's given me something to do at car shows."
One reason people like to buy the old plates, he said, is because car owners can register their cars to plates more than 25 years old. According to Mindorff, you don't have to renew your plates if you have an older one registered.
But financial incentives aside, there's also the cool factor of having a historic plate on a historic car.
"I've got all sorts," Mindorff said. "It works out for me and it works out for the guys who want plates."
