Analyze the poem "Conscious" by Wilfred Owen.
Topic: Wilfred Owen
Analyze the poem "Conscious" by Wilfred Owen.
2 Answers | add yours
"Conscious" is a third person description of a wounded World War I soldier convalescing in a hospital, probably somewhere in England or France. The title is a reference to the fact that the man is waking up, his eyes opening by the "pull of will" alone. This suggests that he has been severely wounded, as does the description of his "fluttering" fingers. He notes the "smooth floor" and the quiet of the hospital, contrasting it with the battlefield horrors he has seen. Whatever his physical condition, he is obviously traumatized by what he has experienced. As he waits for the nurse to come and help him, his mind drifts back to the "crimson slaughter" of the front, and a trench narrows before him in his mind. The poem ends disturbingly:
Cold, he's cold; yet hot:And there's no light to see the voices by... There is no time to ask...he knows not what.

If Bailey needed another reason not to get a swelled head, that provided it.
"Yeah, a little bit,'' Bailey said when asked if it still bothers him at all. "It makes you feel like maybe some guys are still sleeping on me a little bit. But I was happy with what I accomplished last year and to me that's all that matters, even if nobody notices.''
Last year prior to the Orange Bowl, Dawson was asked much the same line of questions regarding how to keep Bailey and Austin grounded. He brought up the Syracuse game in which the Mountaineers were hammered 49-23.
"Do you remember that game? I remember it,'' Dawson said. "And I make sure they do, too.''
That Syracuse game, of course, perfectly illustrates why no one can be complacent. Bailey had a fine game, catching seven passes for 130 yards, including a rather spectacular touchdown in which he leaped for the ball, made a defender miss and streaked down the sidelines.
But it wasn't enough.
"And they were as upset as anyone else,'' Dawson said. "So that's good.''
Bailey and Austin spent the winter in the weight room and throwing and catching with Smith at every opportunity. They appear to have picked up right where they left off last season during spring drills, which conclude with Saturday's Gold-Blue game.
They don't seem to have backed off the work ethic part of the game.
"I think we're very coachable guys,'' Bailey said. "We're not big-headed about the things we were able to accomplish last year. We work on every part of our games. It might be blocking or reading different coverages, sight adjustments - anything we can do better we're trying to do it better.''
And if success comes just as easily this season as last?
"I think we're smart enough to bring ourselves back down,'' Bailey said. "We never get big-headed about the things that we do. We just look at it as, 'OK, we did that. Now let's double it.' ''

Planetary scientist Jennifer Heldmann describes how the Moon has stabilized conditions on Earth.
By understanding the history of the early solar system, Dr. Heldmann believes we can understand the conditions which gave rise to life on Earth.
NASA scientist Jennifer Heldmann shares the most popular theory of how the Moon was formed. The Moon, says Heldmann, was created from a "huge impact" that "whacked" the young Earth.
Jennifer Heldmann explains the challenge posed by the dust on the Moon to astronauts.
From both a mechanical and a human health standpoint, Heldmann believes this very fine, jagged dust may be detrimental to Moon expeditions.

SILVERBACKS WIN IN STOPPAGE TIME, 1-0 The Atlanta Silverbacks Men took the lead in the 2007 Southern Derby Cup tonight with a 1-0 win against the Charleston Battery. The Silverbacks pulled out the win with a goal in the 90th minute by newcomer Scott Buete. "We battled hard defensively and a few heroics in the back kept Charleston from scoring. We made the most of our chance late in the game and finished the ball," commented Head Coach Jason Smith. The game seemed certain to be a tie until the Silverbacks began a counterattack in the 90th minute, as Atlanta advanced down the field Jason McLaughlin switched the ball across the field to Buete, Buete cranked a shot that beat the Battery's keeper and went inside the far post. Tonight's match was the first leg of the seventh-annual Southern Derby Cup. The Cup will conclude after next week's rematch between Atlanta and Charleston, on Friday, June 30 at 7:30 pm. The winner will be determined on aggregate points from the two games; the Silverbacks win tonight gives them a three point lead. The Silverbacks improved their record to 3-4-3, leaving them just three points shy of the Battery. Next week the Silverbacks will have the chance to not only defend their home undefeated streak, but also edge past Charleston in the First Division table. Tickets to see the Silverbacks in the Southern Derby Championship next Friday are available, however, after midnight Thursday night remaining tickets will only be available through the online "print-at-home" option. Tickets will also be available at the stadium box office starting at 5:00 pm on Friday (June 30). Please purchase your tickets early! Parking opens at 5:30 pm and the stadium gates open at 6:00 pm.

WOMEN CRUSH CENTRAL FLORIDA, 4-2 The Atlanta Silverbacks Women had a late start to their match tonight against the Central Florida Krush tonight at RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium, but after a 45-minute delay the home team wasted no time crushing Central Florida, 4-2. Sarah Steinmann added another goal to her scoring total and continues to lead the team in scoring with six goals. Just after lightning lit up the Atlanta sky, the Atlanta Silverbacks Women lit up the field with three goals in the first half. The Silverbacks hit the ground running, with Melanie Schneider scoring from three yards out in the first minute off a cross from Krista Davey. Fifteen minutes later, Steinmann took a shot from the left corner of the box that beat the Krush goalkeeper far post to put Atlanta up 2-0. Atlanta scored again in the 32nd minute off a Nel Fettig corner; Fettig sent the ball in and connected with Leslie Gaston who headed the ball inside the near post. The Krush mounted a comeback in the second half, but the Silverbacks extinguished the comeback almost as soon as it started. Central Florida scored two goals within four minutes of each other to cut the lead to one. However, Atlanta again doubled their lead with a goal by Davey just a minute after the Krush's second; Steinmann beat the Krush defense off the kickoff and laid the ball off to Davey, who dribbled past the keeper and put the ball into the net. The Silverbacks had two chances in the 80th minute to increase their lead, but a superb effort by the Krush goalkeeper prevented both Steinmann and Fettig from scoring. The Atlanta Silverbacks Women look to continue their run up the table when they host the league-leading Charlotte Lady Eagles Saturday night at RE/MAX Greater Atlanta Stadium.

Lack Of Awareness Of Sudden Cardiac Arrest Leads To Increased Risk Of Death For African Americans, Warns Heart Rhythm Society
WASHINGTON, Oct. 17, 2012 /PRNewswire/ — Lack of awareness and treatment of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA) puts African Americans at greater risk of death from the condition, according to a new national survey released today by the Heart Rhythm Society (HRS). The survey findings uncovered significant perception gaps between healthcare providers and consumers when it comes to understanding the condition, its symptoms, risk factors and treatments. Responsible for more than 350,000 U.S. deaths each year, SCA occurs when the heart suddenly and unexpectedly stops beating. Approximately 95 percent of SCA cases result in death; however, it is proven most deadly in African Americans.
To view the multimedia assets associated with this release, please click: http://www.multivu.com/players/English/58066-arrest-the-risk-heart-rhythm-society-sca-awareness/
The new study, conducted by HRS with Ipsos Healthcare, found African Americans are significantly less familiar with sudden cardiac arrest, with only 18 percent able to correctly identify the condition, compared with 24 percent of the general population. More than sixty percent of African Americans with no self-reported prior heart disease who reported experiencing heart disease symptoms do not visit the doctor as a result. In addition, ninety percent of African Americans say their doctor has not talked to them about their risk for SCA. These considerable disparities impact the immediate, life-saving treatments needed to prevent the deadly condition.
To reverse these inequalities and increase the dialogue between patients and physicians, HRS today launched a nationwide public education campaign in partnership with the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) and Shaun Robinson, Emmy-award winning journalist and weekend co-anchor and correspondent for "Access Hollywood." Coined "Arrest the Risk," the initiative is designed to overcome the barriers to proper diagnosis and treatment of SCA through educational resources, an SCA symptom tracker available on ArrestTheRisk.org, as well as a powerful public service announcement featuring Robinson. Additionally, HRS and ABC will conduct specific educational initiatives in cities with a high prevalence of SCA.
"Racial disparities in the prevention and treatment of sudden cardiac arrest result in too many preventable deaths. The first step toward reducing these substantial discrepancies is to treat the underlying causes and manage the various risk factors," said Walter Clair, MD, MPH, FHRS, electrophysiologist, Vanderbilt Heart and Vascular Institute, Nashville. "However, to bridge the gap, both at-risk consumers and their physicians must better understand the signs and symptoms of SCA, and physicians must translate evidence-based treatment guidelines, including the use of indicated medical devices, into their everyday clinical practice."
Treatment guidelines recommend implantable cardioverter defibrillators (ICDs) as the standard of care for patients at risk for SCA, yet half as many African Americans as Caucasians or Hispanics say that ICDs are the best way to treat SCA. Indeed, studies show that the use of these devices and other innovative cardiovascular technologies are less common among African Americans. As a result, a large percentage of high-risk patients are not receiving these treatments, leading to a greater likelihood of death.
The HRS/Ipsos Healthcare study also surveyed 300 physicians (primary care physicians, cardiologists and electrophysiologists) in the U.S. regarding their awareness of SCA as well as their treatment and referral history. Results of the survey showed that many physicians are unaware of the significant deadly impact of SCA. Nearly half of physicians (49 percent) did not identify SCA as the condition that poses the greatest risk to Americans today, even though SCA claims more lives each year than stroke, breast cancer, lung cancer or AIDS. When asked to assess a case study, the majority of PCPs do not identify "at risk" patients, even when three or more risk factors are apparent. In addition, only half of primary care physicians believe ICDs are the standard of care for patients at risk.
"By offering insight into the incidence of the condition, addressing diagnosis and treatment related challenges faced by healthcare professionals and working to ensure the implementation of guideline-based care, we can ensure that all patients – regardless of their race, gender or age – receive access to the best possible cardiac care," said Ola Akinboboye, MD, MPH, MBA, President, ABC. "The Association of Black Cardiologists is proud to partner with HRS to lead this innovative, educational effort that sheds light on the current disparities in care, while also working on practical education to help eliminate these healthcare inequalities."
"Since my grandfather and some other family members have suffered from heart disease, this is a condition that is very personal to me. However, I didn't realize that this family history means I could be at increased risk for sudden cardiac arrest," said Robinson. "Because SCA is so deadly, it is absolutely critical to talk to your doctor because early intervention can literally save your life."
About the Arrest the Risk Campaign
"Arrest the Risk" is a nationwide public education campaign from the Heart Rhythm Society in partnership with the Association of Black Cardiologists (ABC) and Emmy-award winning journalist Shaun Robinson. The initiative is designed to overcome the barriers to proper diagnosis and treatment of SCA. Additional information and resources are available at www.arresttherisk.org.
About the Survey
In August 2012, the Heart Rhythm Society worked with Ipsos Healthcare to conduct a 20-minute online survey of more than 1,500 adult consumers and 300 physicians in the U.S. A representative sample of Caucasian, African American and Hispanic consumers were surveyed, as well as a sample of three types of physicians- primary care physicians (PCPs) including those in general practice, family practice and internal medicine; cardiologists; and electrophysiologists (EPs), who are cardiac arrhythmia specialists. The survey aimed to help HRS identify current awareness levels and perceptions of sudden cardiac arrest (SCA).
About the Heart Rhythm Society
The Heart Rhythm Society is the international leader in science, education and advocacy for cardiac arrhythmia professionals and patients, and the primary information resource on heart rhythm disorders. Its mission is to improve the care of patients by promoting research, education and optimal health care policies and standards. Incorporated in 1979 and based in Washington, DC, it has a membership of more than 5,100 heart rhythm professionals in more than 72 countries around the world. www.hrsonline.org.
About the Association of Black Cardiologists
Founded in 1974, the Association of Black Cardiologists, Inc. (ABC) is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to champion the elimination of cardiovascular disease disparities among minorities through education, research and advocacy. The ABC is comprised of an international membership of 2,500 medical professionals, community health advocates, corporations and institutions that fund innovative research, promote stronger public policies and provide lifesaving tools to prevent and treat cardiovascular diseases.

To your comment, "The best policy right now would be to cut EPA funding by 90% or more," I've been saying the same thing for years. Thank you. I've been calling my rep and senators. They're getting to know me pretty well.

Al Gore now richer than Mitt Romney
With the sale of Current TV, the former vice president's fortune is pegged at more than $300 million.
A lot has changed for former Vice President Al Gore, who left the White House with a reported $1.9 million net worth.
With an estimated $100 million gross profit from the sale of his Current TV to pan-Arab broadcaster Al-Jazeera, Gore is now worth more than $300 million, according to an estimate from Forbes.com.
That puts his net worth well ahead of that of former presidential candidate Mitt Romney, who has an estimated fortune of $230 million and was often mocked for being out of touch with ordinary Americans during the election.
Gore's wealth accumulation began soon after he left the White House in 2001. Apple (AAPL) tapped him in 2003 to serve on its board, and the former vice president held more than 100,000 shares and options in the tech company as of Dec. 17, according to a regulatory filing. That makes Gore's stake worth more than $56 million, based on Apple's recent trading price.
Google hired Gore to serve as a senior adviser on environmental issues in 2001, a role he held for three years. He doesn't have a formal financial relationship with the company currently, Forbes.com reports.
Gore also has his hand in a global investment company called Generation Investment Management, which he founded in 2004 with ex-Goldman Sachs (GS) executive David Blood. Together, Blood and Gore have reportedly built a company with assets under management of more than $6 billion.
The truth is, serving in the White House often proves beneficial to a person's financial health.
Take a look at former President Bill Clinton, who since leaving the White House has built a net worth of about $38 million, helped by income as an author and public speaker. He's able to command speaking fees of more than $700,000, although more typically he is paid in the $500,000 range for his public events, reports CNN.com.
Still, Gore's new wealth may strike some people as being at odds with his image as an environmental do-gooder.
Conservative television host Bill O'Reilly condemned Gore as a hypocrite, citing a report that he wanted to sell Current TV to Al-Jazeera before higher taxes kicked in on Jan. 1.
Other people have pointed out that Current's sale to Al-Jazeera, which is backed by Qatar, "reeks of irony," given Qatar's oil-based economy, which might not jibe with Gore's environmental message from "An Inconvenient Truth."
Gore's net worth might not be as high as Forbes estimates: Bloomberg, for one, pegged his profit at $70 million from the Current TV sale. If that's the case, his net worth might be only $270 million or so -- but that's still higher than Romney's.

After persistent drought conditions, a popular north Georgia lake is beginning the summer recreation season with a full pool of water.
Lake Lanier, northeast of Atlanta, is at 1,072.29 feet. That is the highest it has been since Feb. 8, 2010, when the lake was at 1,072.34.
The Times of Gainesville reports (http://bit.ly/YlRPjP) that the last time Lanier was higher on May 1 was in 2003.
The water level was far lower just a few months ago.
During the devastating 2007-09 drought, the water level was drained to 1,050.79 feet above sea level.
Then, on Dec. 18, The lake dropped to 1,056.33 feet, nearly 14 feet below the winter full pool of 1,070 feet.
Since that date, however, the lake began a steady upward climb.

(CNN) – Diversification. For investors, it helps to hedge against risk in your portfolio. And apparently itâs not that much different for al Qaeda and its funding. In fact, itâs been key to the organizationâs financial health and its ability to grow around the world - despite political, economic and military pressure from the U.S. and its allies since 9/11. âThey [al Qaeda] established a range of sources to support the organization and that is the current state of al Qaeda, so they donât have to depend on bin Laden,â says Professor Rohan Gunaratna, head of the International Center for Political Violence and Terrorism in Singapore. So even with Osama bin Laden is gone, the terror network he founded will still live on. |

Duel of the Titans – Irsay & Manning means of communication
Posted: February 8, 2012 Filed under: Colts, Commentary, NFL, Observations | Tags: #1 draft QB, AFC, Archie Manning, Bob Kravitz, Colts, Cooper Manning, Eli Manning, Jim Irsay, Mort Christensen, Peyton Manning, Tom Condon 1 Comment »
There are mainly two sides of the Manning story.
- Manning is getting healthy and progressing
- Peyton Manning himself
- Manning Family
- Mort Christensen
- Bill Polian
- Somewhat Adam Schefter
- Manning Agent
- Renowned surgeon who did the surgery
- Colts' Neurosurgeon
- Colts players such as Addai, Adam Vinatieri
- Manning has noodle arm, cannot throw, should retire, or there will be a limited market for #18.
- Jim Irsay himself
- Bob Kravitz
- Peter King
- John Clayton
- Jason LaCanfora with Colts sources
- Team sources
Facts that are lost: Manning is NOT expected to regain his arms-strength at this time unless he has super-human healing abilities.
Then everybody else takes sides.
*Welcome any comments and suggestions to add to the list.

I felt so strongly that we had to get Maddie to her foster, so Ramona and I flew the entire trip - about 600 NM in all. We loved every minute of the trip. Even the 3 hours battling strong headwinds. I can't WAIT to do it again. Such wonderful people in the rescue world.

The very idea that a former enlisted man has such vast knowledge about world affairs and military actions and reactions etc. is laughable. I am a former enlisted man (Air Force) and I can tell you that most enlisted men, especially ground troops, are more involved in staying alive than naval gazing. In fact, how many former enlisted men would one have entrusted to plan and execute the invasion of Normandy? Officers that have reach field level rank are usually sent to War College where they are taught the history of warfare and what works and what doesn´t. No enlisted man does. Neither do Senators and/or former Senators.Sadly, as Ms. Rabinowitz says, Hagel will most likely be confirmed and the Republican won´t do a thing to stop it. Unlike dims, they don´t seem to have to courage to fillibuster a nomination they don´t like. And this is one that the nominee is clearly unqualified for the office.

CEDAR RAPIDS – Some year, the Cedar Rapids Kernels will end what has become a two-decade drought and win the Midwest League championship. But it won't be this year.
The Quad Cities River Bandits completed a sweep of the Kernels Thursday night via a 4-2 victory in Game 2 of this first-round playoff series.
A very nice midweek crowd of 2,660 fans at Veterans Memorial Stadium seemed more than ready to make noise, but their boys ended up not giving them a whole lot to cheer about. So many wins this season, but none when rings were on the line.
"We accomplished so much. Growth from every player," said Kernels catcher Michael Quesada. "As a person and a player, everyone just grew up a whole lot this season. It didn't turn out the way we wanted it to, but we definitely battled. We never, ever gave up. This happens sometimes. Some teams just have your number. We ran into the wrong team at the wrong time."
Quad Cities faces Beloit in the Western Division finals beginning Saturday. The River Bandits went 12-6 against Cedar Rapids this season, the only team in the division to have a winning record against a club that won a league-high 88 games, second-most in club history.
The last MWL title for the City of Five Seasons came in 1994.
"They have a lot of talent over there," said Kernels outfielder Adam Brett Walker. "Their pitching staff was kind of keeping us off balance. They weren't afraid to mix up their pitches. They were just trying to get us out of our game. That's a good ballclub. We were going to have to win a lot of close ballgames to beat them, and we weren't able to do that. Tough way to end it."
Walker appeared to bring the Kernels within 4-3 when he obliterated a pitch down the left-field line in the fourth inning for an apparent two-run home run. But the soaring drive was called fouled by home plate umpire Nick Garvey, who got an earful from hitting coach Tommy Watkins from the dugout and a face-to-face earful from Manager Jake Mauer.
Walker ended up grounding out, the Kernels didn't score and never seriously threatened to tie it again.
"Yeah, I thought it was fair," Walker said. "I saw it and just took off running. Tried to change the game there … Even their third baseman came to me and said it was fair. Maybe the umpire was the only one who thought it was foul. He was the only one that matters."
Cedar Rapids led the Midwest League in runs and several other offensive categories this season but finished the series with just eight hits. The Kernels struck out 19 times, nine in Game 1 Wednesday night and 10 Thursday night.
"They had the book on us, had a good pitch plan," Mauer said. "We had a lot of strikeouts."
He was asked if that plan included a lot of offspeed pitches, which seemed to be what starter Joe Bircher and three relief mates offered a lot.
"It sure looked like it," Mauer said. "I think they knew we had a hard time with lefties because we saw a lot of lefties. They just slowed the ball down quite a bit. You strike out 10 times, nine times the night before, it's going to be tough to score some runs. But our guys competed, played hard. There are a lot of guys in (the clubhouse) that could have lost their temper, lost their heads, and they didn't. They battled through, and that's kind of how they did all year."
"I just think we haven't been playing scared of them," Bircher said. "We just kept continuing our thought process of attack, attack, attack all the time, and that worked out well. Give them all kinds of credit becausef they had a phenomenal season. But we were able to come in here and keep our confidence rolling."
Jonathan Murphy led off the bottom of the first with a line-drive homer onto the porch in left field to put Cedar Rapids on top right away. Quad Cities tied it in the top of the second against starting pitcher Tim Shibuya and went ahead with three runs in the fourth.
Rio Ruiz led off with a homer to right-center, and Teoscar Hernandez stuck the dagger in with a huge two-out, two-run single through the left side of the infield. The Kernels got a run in the sixth on a Jorge Polanco double and Max Kepler RBI groundout, but Quad Cities pitchers retired the final 11 hitters.
"Obviously we had a nice year and everything," Mauer said. "You just hope they don't think the season was a failure or anything because of this. They played their hearts out, got a lot better because of that. That's what it's all about."
"Quad Cities is a good ballclub, a really solid ballclub," Quesada said. "They're just as loaded as we are at every position. I think people might look past that a little bit. They're just a really, really good ballclub. They beat us. We didn't beat ourselves, they beat us."

The 2001 18th-round Draft pick is currently a free agent but will miss the first 50 games of the 2012 season upon signing with an organization. Refusing to take a test is considered a violation of the Minor League Drug Prevention and Treatment Program.
According to Dowdy's Twitter account, the southpaw said on Feb. 27 that he would be playing this coming season for the independent league team in Grand Prairie, Texas.
Dowdy, 28, is the third player to be suspended this year for refusing to take a test. He appeared in 48 games last season between Double-A Richmond and Triple-A Fresno, going 6-6 with a 3.92 ERA and 60 strikeouts in 66 2/3 innings.
The lefty from San Diego was originally drafted by the White Sox in 2001 but later signed as a free agent with Oakland in 2007. He pitched in the independent American Association before signing with Tampa Bay in 2010, where he saw time at Double-A Montgomery. He was selected in the Rule 5 Draft in 2010 year by the San Francisco Giants.
Dowdy is the 17th player to be suspended this year for violating the Minor League drug program. Free agents Smaily Borges and Jorge Navarrete were also banned 50 games for not participating in drug testing.

Height: 6'2" Weight: 205 Age: 30 Experience: 9th season College: Akron Drafted: 2006 R4 P33, Broncos

Carolina Panthers WRs Ted Ginn Jr. and Domenik Hixon are options to start at wide receiver Week 17 if WR Steve Smith (knee) is not able to play.
Huddle Up: Both are nice pickups this week if you are in need. Hixon caught the game-winning touchdown pass from Cam Newton last week.

Carolina Panthers WR Domenik Hixon (hamstring), S Michael Mitchell (calf) and OG Amini Silatolu (hamstring) practiced in full Thursday, Sept. 12.
Huddle Up: That 2 practices in 2 days for Hixon, who looks like he'll make his Carolina debut Sunday in Buffalo after being inactive Week 1. This is of interest, though, to those in deep leagues only.

Carolina Panthers WR Domenik Hixon could be considered the favorite for the No. 3 wide receiver job because of his previous experience with general manager David Gettleman. Hixon will have to compete with other wide receivers for the job during training camp.
Huddle Up: The Carolina passing game has barely kept two WRs fantasy-relevant, so who winds up as WR3 may be a moot point fantasy-wise.
Posted: 4/3/2013 8:46pm et
The Carolina Panthers signed WR Domenik Hixon Wednesday, April 3. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Huddle Up: The former Giant will compete with Brandon LaFell and Ted Ginn for a wingman role opposite Steve Smith, with limited fantasy upside as the reward.
Posted: 3/31/2013 1:43pm et
The Carolina Panthers are scheduled to meet with free-agent WR Domenik Hixon (Giants) Monday, April 1.
Huddle Up: Hixon, coming off a 39-567-2 season with the Giants, already has visited the Raiders and the Browns reportedly have some interest as well.
Posted: 3/28/2013 1:47pm et
Free-agent WR Domenik Hixon (Giants) visited with the Oakland Raiders on Wednesday, March 27.
Huddle Up: Hixon is coming off a 39-catch, 567-yard season with the Giants and could be a decent fit with the Raiders, who just released Darrius Heyward-Bey.
Posted: 3/10/2013 2:29pm et
The Carolina Panthers might show an interest in free-agent WR Domenik Hixon (Giants), a player general manager David Gettleman is familiar with from his time with the New York Giants. If signed, he could push WR Brandon LaFell for the No. 2 receiver job.
Huddle Up: Hixon has only 58 catches over the past 3 seasons in New York, where he was continually buried on the Giants' deep WR depth chart. He would find the opportunities much more bountiful in Carolina where the aging Steve Smith is the Panthers' only viable wideout.

Blade Runner Review June 12, 2013

Just a quick post to point you toward my review of Ridley Scott's masterpiece Blade Runner over on That Film Guy. I've been using that site to vent my film fanboy amateurish tirades and this certainly falls into that category. Hopefully, now that the marking has died down, I'll be able to get a few more reviews on there so keep your eyes peeled – and those Royal Holloway students taking GG2061 next year might also want to pay extra attention…

| Active Directory Domain not available Hello, I'm having problems connecting a printer to my laptop. The printer was working but when my laptop went away for repair it did not work on its return. The printer works on my macbook and my PC running Vista however it will not run on the laptop running Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I think it is something to do with the fact that my printer is on a network somewhere?? some how but I haven't a clue what to do. When I try to add the printer using the add printer wizard it cannot locate the printer even though its switched on etc... I haven't a clue why it won't work can someone try to help. By the way I have tried downloading the drivers from the Epson website but when I press print it sends it to the print queue which then clears but no print!!!! |

| is the laptop on a network or domain? it sounds like they either joined or removed your laptop from a domain. How to tell: Right click "Computer" and choose properties you should see "Computer name, domain, and workgroup settings" |

| Sorry didint respond earlier, ive been on vacation. If your printer is shared through a computer the printer will connect to the computer using a usb port or something similar. If your printer is directly on the network it will use an ethernet cable in most cases. It will also have an IP address. |

Supposed conversion
Word Excel PowerPoint to Pdf Converter will supposedly convert Word, Excel, and PowerPoint documents to PDFs; however, a trial restriction prevented us from seeing the full outcome.
We tested the trial version, which is so limited that we couldn't tell if the program works properly or not. We selected a Word and an Excel document to try with the program. We were informed that the trial version would only convert part of the documents; that for full document conversion we must purchase the program. We let the program convert our files, and when we viewed them, because of the … Read more

Shares of Weight Watchers International (WTW) are in the spotlight after the company issued a weak forecast for the rest of the year. The company warned investors that fewer people are signing up for its weight loss programs in 2013 than anticipated.
The company, which competes with Nestle's (NSRGY.PK) Jenny Craig, Nutrisystem (NTRI) and Medifast (MED), said it expects full-year earnings of $3.5 to $4.0 per share. Analysts on average were expecting $4.75 per share
The company's shares fell more than 17 percent on the news.
Weight Watchers said its marketing strategy has not been effective in an increasingly competitive environment with its diet meetings business losing steam in North America and the United Kingdom.
One of Weight Watchers' concerns going into the new year was what impact falling off the fiscal cliff would have on U.S. consumer confidence. While the worst of that was avoided, the payroll tax holiday expired and consumers saw their paychecks shrink by mid January. Indications are that consumer confidence dropped significantly in January, which is the macro indicator most closely correlated with Weight Watchers recruitment.
Moreover, Weight Watchers said a new program launched in early December failed to sustain momentum in 2013. The company was also weighed down by higher marketing expenses related to first-time TV campaigns in several countries and online ads targeting men in the United States.
Weight Watchers also reported that it earned $58 million, or $1.03 per share, for the fiscal fourth quarter that ended on December 29. That's compared with $63.7 million, or 86 cents per share, earned in the same quarter of the prior year. While net income fell in the most recent quarter, earnings per share were higher because a tender offer and share repurchases by the company reduced the number of shares outstanding by over 30 percent.
Weight Watchers reported a 2 percent increase in its revenue and reported gains in its online business and declining attendance at the in-person meetings.
Current Valuation
Weight Watchers trades at 11 times trailing earnings. The company's expectations are for ~$3.75 in EPS for the current fiscal year, and the current stock price of $44.90 is 12 times that figure, compared to its peer average of 11x. Weight Watchers has a stable cash flow generation, and when I look at the enterprise value implied by the current stock price, it is 10x trailing EBITDA, slightly higher than the rest of the industry.
The current ratio is below 0.50; Moreover, Weight Watchers significantly leveraged balance sheet also remains a concern.
In fact, Weight Watchers has the lowest current ratio in the entire Specialized Consumer Services Industry.
It is my view that after the weak earnings forecast, the risk to Weight Watchers' fundamentals has overwhelmingly skewed to the downside, which presents a very clear and intriguing investment opportunity on the short side. I will wait for a dead cat bounce to the mid-to-high $48-$50 level, as the shares present an attractive risk/reward there.

Noonan syndrome is a genetic disorder that prevents normal development in various parts of the body. A person can be affected by Noonan syndrome in various ways. These include unusual facial characteristics, short stature, heart defects, other physical problems and possible developmental delays.
Noonan syndrome is caused by a genetic mutation and is acquired when a child inherits a copy of an affected gene from a parent (dominant inheritance). It can also occur as a spontaneous mutation, meaning there's no family history involved.
There's no specific treatment for Noonan syndrome. Management focuses on controlling the disease's symptoms and complications. Growth hormone may be used to treat short stature in some people with Noonan syndrome.

Bracelet Aims To Keep Aid Workers Safe In Hostile Areas
Originally published on Mon April 8, 2013 8:59 pm
Finally in All Tech, technology you can wear. We've heard before about smart glasses, gloves and watches. Well now, a human rights organization in Sweden, called the Civil Rights Defenders, has developed a line of high-tech bracelets. They're designed specifically for aid workers in dangerous areas, and they could potentially save someone's life.
ROBERT HARDH: When a human rights defender is attacked, a distress signal is sent out to five people in the close proximity of that person who can act physically trying to rescue him or her.
That's Robert Hardh, executive director of the Civil Rights Defenders. At the same time the distress signal goes out, another signal is sent to the nonprofit's headquarters in Stockholm.
HARDH: And we verify the alarm and make sure it is sent out on Facebook, Twitter, and people can react immediately.
BLOCK: The idea for the smart bracelet was created after a Russian human rights activist, Natalia Estemirova, was kidnapped and killed in 2009. Hardh says they'll give the first five bracelets to aid workers in the region where Estemirova spent much of her time - in the North Caucasus.
CORNISH: As to their effectiveness, Hardh says he hopes they can make a difference.
HARDH: It's really about - having the bracelet is like walking around with hopefully millions of people around your arm.
CORNISH: The goal is to hand out 50 more bracelets by the end of next year.

Ed tech developer Vantage Learning has launched a new edition of its writing remediation program, targeting high school seniors and incoming college freshmen. My Access! College Edition extends the standard "School Edition," designed for K-12, with greater emphasis on analysis and interpretation, as well as additional features.
My Access! is a fully Web-based tool that uses online forms that allow students to input essays and other writing assignments. It then checks these assignments against various writing characteristics and scores students on their writing proficiency, style, mechanics, and other factors. It also supports multilingual students and ELL students and is able to deliver feedback and tutoring in multiple languages.
"...The recent reports of students entering college without the necessary writing skills are alarming," said John Fallon, Vantage Learning vice president, in a statement released this week. "We sought to create the best and most powerful tool for incoming freshman to be the best writers they can be as they come on campus this fall." The company cited the recent National Assessment of Educational Progress 2007 Writing Assessment report, which indicated that only about 24 percent of 12th grade students in the United States write at levels considered "proficient."
The system provides feedback on the areas in which students need improvement; self-paced, interactive lessons; and guides for completing college-level writing projects, focusing on planning, organizing, drafting, revising, and editing.
Further information about My Access! College Edition can be found here.
