Central, Central, Central.
The rest of the state can't help the feeling that it's middle sister Jan Brady when it comes to Omaha Central.
Marcia, er, the Eagles, have been perfect — 30-0 last season. Attractive, too — a starting lineup teeming with Division I talent is why Central was invited to a big pre-Christmas tournament in Florida and also the reason for its game in February in Grand Island against Virginia's Oak Hill Academy, last season's national No. 1 team.
Marcia had her "Oh, my nose" moment, though. And isn't that what the Eagles need to avoid — getting their nose bruised at an inopportune time? It's still the games against their in-state competition that matter the most. None of the special games count toward their points in the Class A standings.
The Jan Bradys aren't going to roll over, either, just because Central got a game with Oak Hill. But the Omaha Souths, Papillion-La Vistas, Omaha Bensons and other elite teams in Class A have ground to make up on the Eagles. Only one team out of the past 30 — Omaha Bryan in the first round at state — lost by single digits (56-52) to Central.
Coach Eric Behrens' Eagles are the only logical starting point for the preseason Top 10. Akoy Agau is bound for Louisville and newcomer Nick Billingsley signed with UNO. K.J. Scott and Tra-Deon Hollins will draw recruiters who also will be watching talented junior Tre'Shawn Thurman. Deandre Hollins-Johnson has started alongside Agau and Hollins the past two seasons.
Omaha South, last season's runner-up, had minimal losses and will have a bench deeper than the Eagles. It would be no surprise to see a rematch for the 2013 state title.
For the second straight year, Papillion-La Vista has picked up two transfers who could be immediate starters. Benson has a front line that won't give away inches to Central or South.
Millard North, Lincoln Southeast, Millard West, Omaha Creighton Prep, Bellevue West and Omaha Burke — the other Metro teams in the preseason ratings — return a majority of their starters.
Two other 2012 state champions head the ratings in their classes, Scottsbluff in Class B and Giltner in Class D-2. The other preseason No. 1s are Norfolk Catholic in Class C-1, Norfolk Lutheran in Class C-2 and High Plains in Class D-1.
Here are some key events on this year's schedule:
City of Palms Classic, Dec. 17 to 22: Central goes on a national stage for the first of two times this season. The Eagles open with McDonough (Ga.) Eagle's Landing, which has at least two Division I recruits.
Metro Holiday final, Jan. 3: Will this be the first Central-South meeting of the year? Or does it happen earlier in the holiday tournament, which returns to its first home, the Civic Auditorium, for perhaps the final time for the semifinals and finals. Look for more in December on the tournament's 50th anniversary.
Nebraska Prep Classic, Jan. 11 and 12: There's some intriguing matchups in the two-day showcase at the new Ralston arena. Omaha Benson-Boys Town is the Friday night headliner, with Sioux City Heelan-Papillion-La Vista and Bellevue West-Topeka (Kan.) Highland Park the top games on Saturday night.
Heartland Hoops Classic, Feb. 9: National power Oak Hill Academy ventures into flyover country to play Central at the Grand Island arena. Oak Hill, last year's USA Today ratings champion, is eighth in the preseason while Central is outside the Top 25.
State tournament, March 7 to 9: Will these be the last finals held in the Devaney Center? Will this be the last three-day tournament that uses high school gyms for opening-day games? Expect changes for 2014, when the Pinnacle Bank Arena will be the place to play. It's foreseeable that the NSAA switches to a four-day, two-site format using only Pinnacle and Devaney. For sure, there will be no more Pershing Center. Maybe goodbye, too, to relegating small schools to the high school facilities.

Backing up my data to reinstall OS X 10.8.2
So I need to reinstall and have to backup my data to an external HDD.
What is the best way in going about this? And will my backup data include all of my system preferences as well? (Gesture modifications, trackpad speed, browser settings, etc.) |

Jan 15, 2013, 01:56 PM | #2 |
Just use the built in Time Machine for this. It will backup everything you listed. You can turn it on in System Preferences.

I also want to know the answer to this, especially the settings part. I will be reinstalling ML as soon as I get a clear and assuring answer that with TM I will get everything back again the way it is now, but with the benefits of a clean install. Just not sure how to do it exactly. Would be useful to have a guide somewhere, perhaps one already exists?

The only thing Time Machine sometimes does not restore is the authorization serial numbers for certain apps. MS and Adobe apps seem to be bad about this. You just need to manually reenter the serial numbers for those apps. |

"So I need to reinstall and have to backup my data to an external HDD."
My suggestion: DON'T use Time Machine. Instead, use CarbonCopyCloner to create a bootable clone of your existing drive. (Note: CCC is now a "paid" application, but you can download it and it will work in fully-functional "demo mode" for 30 days.) Once this is done, you will have a fully bootable copy of your internal drive with everything in POFF (plain old finder format). When it's time to restore, just use Migration Assitant (if you wish) and "point it" at the CCC backup clone. This will give you a much more reliable backup with less chance of things going wrong on you . |

No... and that is the problem. You need to go into every single setting in OS X and every single app and document what the settings are, then manually reapply all those to the new setup. Not an easy thing to do, particularly if one is not real familiar with the ins and outs of OS X.

Body Recovered from Lake Texhoma
LAKE TEXOMA, Okla. (AP) — The Oklahoma Lake Patrol says the body of a 62-year-old Durant man who drowned in Lake Texoma has been recovered.
Troopers say the body of Forrest Wright was found about 7:30 a.m. Sunday after he had disappeared about 7 p.m. Thursday.
Troopers say a witness reported the Wright had jumped from a boat on the lake to swim — then went under water and never resurfaced.
The patrol says Wright was not wearing a flotation device and that his body was found in about 50 feet of water.

Re: LG: South Korean wireless carriers were against the Nexus 4 because it was too affordable
It can take up to 2-3 weeks from phone coming off the production line to phone in customer hand.
So the phone that was produced back in January 5th might just get to the customer today.
As for sales, T-Mobile stores are getting plenty of them in stock.

Re: LG: South Korean wireless carriers were against the Nexus 4 because it was too affordable
So they are still catching up on back order commitments......wow.....
They have not been on sale in Canada since early Dec (when I bought mine - received it 3 weeks later), and I don't think the play store in the US has had them either.
Still blows me away that they have ramped up production but can't bring the product back to market. Google is still playing catch-up.

4:03 pm 03/12/14--The storm has landed, skiers and riders, and as of noon on Wednesday Vulcan has already dropped 5 inches of snow!
And there's plenty more where that came from - it's still coming down with no end in sight as Vulcan hangs out at Killington through Thursday. We'll keep you in the loop with each new snow stake reading, so check back right here for the latest. The Beast basked in the sun on Tuesday and last night our dedicated groomers pushed, tilled and smoothed the softened snow into soft corduroy on 73 trails to prepare them for a fresh dump. To feed your need for speed, Ovation, Superstar and East Fall are all groomed to perfection, as are cruisers such as Bear Cub and Great Eastern. Meanwhile, Double Dipper and Cascade remain untouched because they are skiing great and the texture from your turns will help these steeps hold powder better. Ski patrol opened Growler and the head walls of Cascade and Downdraft yesterday, and with a little help from Ma Nature they will drop ropes on The Throne and Royal Flush next. And be sure to remember that Wednesday is a Canyon Quad day! All scheduled lifts will operate from 9:00 a.m.-4:00 p.m. K Parks The K Parks crew is hard at work preparing the Stash for next week's Slash and Berm, but don't worry, you can still ride 59 features including 27 that are literally stashed in the trees. Next door on Dream Maker you can find 23 features including a jump line and a perfectly placed rainbow rail. Ramshead is home to 3 parks: Neff Land with 18 features; Timberline with 15 features and the freshly re-cut pipe; and the Easy Street Progression Park with 8 features.More Details Base Lodge Update Skyeship and Ramshead Base Lodges will not offer food, beverage, or bar service Monday through Thursday. Snowshed, K-1, and Bear Mountain Base Lodges offer full service every day, as does the Peak Lodge at the summit of the K-1 Express Gondola. Training Closures Needles Eye and Mouse Run will be closed from 12:30 -4:00, and the Highline Mogul Venue will be closed from 1:00-4:00. We thank you for your understanding. 2013/14 Operating Day: 140

As the threat of a crisis in our current health care system looms larger and health care spending continues to increase, the sustainability of our current employer-based health care system comes into question. How can we reform health care and see to it that more people have access to it? Is the hotly-debated health care reform legislation the answer? What is a Christian response to the health care system?

Series: Evolution Basics (39 entries)
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
The Resource Finder has powerful filtering features — check out the tutorial to learn more.
Written by BioLogos Fellow of Biology Dennis Venema, this series of posts is intended as a basic introduction to the science of evolution for non-specialists.
Sometimes, out of fear or some sense of being required to defend our position, Church leaders and teachers have hastily set up a boundary marker around some doctrinal theory which they have confused as a core doctrinal issue.
"So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book." Today BioLogos premieres the first in a new series of introductory videos.
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
Today's Origins News Roundup features challenging and exciting new ideas about evolutionary theory, fossil finds that add to our understanding of how carnivores and humans developed, some interesting science history from England, and more on American views of evolution.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
Today's origins news roundup features an end-of-year look at some of 2013's major science highlights, a brief glimpse at what to watch for in the new year, and a few great science and faith resources from the past few weeks.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
This week's Origins News Roundup features highlights from a recent conference of evangelical theologians, exciting human fossil finds, tell-tale lice, and a few words from the Pope.
"It's tempting to think that the church needs to decide quickly which of these [original sin] scenarios is right, and which ones must be wrong. I believe the church is better served by taking its time, holding several different scenarios in tension for a while as we think through the implications of each."
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
In this series, James Kidder provides an intriguing study on transitional fossils and the evolutionary history of modern humans. He begins by discussing the fossil record, explaining how new forms are classified. He then explains the physically distinguishing trait of humankind—bipedalism. From the discovery of Ardipithecus, the earliest known hominin, to the australopithecines, the most prolific hominin, Kidder focuses on the discovery, the anatomy, and the interpretation of these ancestral remains.
Critics of Christianity look to evolution to show how the emergence of human life on earth demanded enormous ruin and ravage, billions of years of apparent waste and futility, species extermination and organism road kill. Not only was the massive dying off rampant, it's mandatory too.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
The gift of Love must be the gift of freedom, the gift of a degree of letting-be, and this can be expected to be true of all creatures to the extent that is appropriate to their proper character. It is in the nature of dense snow fields that they will sometimes slip with the destructive force of an avalanche. It is the nature of lions that they will seek their prey. It is the nature of cells that they will mutate, sometimes producing new forms of life, sometimes grievous disabilities, sometimes cancers.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
These excerpts from Origins: Christian Perspectives on Creation, Evolution, and Intelligent Design, written by BioLogos president Deborah Haarsma and her husband Loren Haarsma, offer a sampling of the book's many topics, from exploring our disagreements and agreements on origins as Christians to explaining scientific processes to looking at how we read Genesis.

Used Condoms Reborn As Hair/Rubber Bands
Soiled condoms *HORF* are being recycled into hair bands and rubber bands in China.
"There are a lot of bacteria and viruses on the rubber bands and hair ties made from used condoms," a dermatologist at the Guangzhou Hospital of Armed Police, who asked to be identified by his surname Dong, told the local paper. "People could be infected with AIDS, warts or other diseases if they hold the rubber bands or strings in their mouths while weaving their hair into plaits or buns."
*HORF* Jesus. But on the upside, a bag of 10 hair bands only costs 3¢. Which, I think we can all agree is worth the risk of contracting something.

40 meters SSB

K2ADKJoined: Jun 12th 2011, 20:32Total Topics: 0 Total Posts: 0 |
Okay, I don't claim to own the airwaves. I'm only coming up on my first year as KD2AIP. And yet, I feel, as a Northeasterner emerging from a weird winter, eligible to moan and complain. I have a General license. I can do about 15 wpm in code, so I split my time between CW and SSB. I get home from work about 5 every weekday, and try to get on the radio by 7 for a little while. At that time, the international broadcasters are in full swing above 7.200, so I seek a spot between 7.178 and 7.200. Talk about an exercise in frustration. There are daily nets that essentially own .178, .185, .192, and .195 beginning at 7 p.m. Try squeezing in between those frequencies. Perhaps all this is a conspiracy to get us Generals to study and upgrade to Extra! Ah, surely this must be it, because I'm scheduled for a May exam! 7.150 here I come... |

Nets - can't live with and can't live without them! Don't let them drag you down - I have seen way to many of my good ham friends either driven from amateur radio, outcast or vilified because they spoke out about the abuses perpetrated by those that think using your words because they are "daily nets that essentially own ..." most useable east coast 40 meter phone frequencies for a General Class license. Nothing will change; you could get there first before they start their net, get a clear frequency but I'm sure that some self-appointed net policeman will make your hope for an enjoyable QSO unobtainable. You can (Your words again) "moan and complain" but the few allies you get will be bitter and disgruntled and the friends of nets far outnumber them so that won't work either. Some net do really great service in time of disaster and real emergencies, so having good net skills and etiquette is important to be a well round amateur. Other nets collect a bunch of hams with similar interests in one place where otherwise they would be clogging up the airwaves seeking such similar interested people. My friends choose to fight out west and nobody won. It can get really ugly and no good can come of this. I wandered down to Novice freqs and trolled for newbies who had trouble sending their own callsigns (And privately chortled while they tried to find a couple more letters to add to my callsign). We don't have novice bands now but there plenty of places to lurk and enjoy our hobby which are relaxing and not "an exercise in frustration" – Good luck in May and maybe you can put this behind ya.

Bob (K7SN), thanks for your very kind input. You're right about nets, and it is quite true that there are some very good public service nets. The Maritime net on 14.300 is a good example. Or the net that (shudder to think!) I am a member of, which meets Monday nights on 147.030 for emergency preparedness. I spent a good part of tonight listening to W1AW code practice so I can spend more time in the more interesting zones of CW. I also answered what must have been a 2 wpm CQ on 40, and it was a lot more fun than I thought -- and the ham I called was on his very first CW QSO! Thanks for the words of encouragement on the Extra license. I have the ARRL book and now have signed up for Hamtestonline because I can't let this go past May or I'll be dealing with what may be a new curriculum. I'm glad everyone finds a niche in amateur radio. Niches, actually. One of mine is -- you guessed it -- bemoaning the state of the world. The other is making sure this remains the purest fun I can possibly enjoy. And surely it is that. I'll post in this thread when I get my Extra! |

Age old argument. Contesters a few weekends a year always get blamed for "taking over the bands" and ruining ham radio, while daily nets EVERY DAY take over the entire general portion of HF phone bands. This is why its pretty rare to hear CQ's anywhere SSB 20-40-75. A great band to find neither a band filled with Nets nor Contesters is 17 meters. Old school CQ'ers all the time. Most open for Chit Chat, or just quick hit and runs. Whatever you wish. When the band is open, CQ'ers come out of the wood work on 10-12-15. Other then that, extra class is the answer. That or Digital. Digital is a real equalizer in the HF spectrum. |

You are correct to a point. It now seems that the DX chasers have taken over 17 meters on a daily basis. No room here for a casual QSO. They will let you know in a hurry that there is "DX" in QSO somewhere in the world on the frequency! Not sure what the answer is but not much room left for us old timers. |

Boone county is not suitable for utility scale wind turbines. A wind farm that includes utility scale wind turbines requires a minimum wind power class of category 3. The only part of Missouri that meets this requirement is the extreme Northwest corner. The wind power class of Boone County is category 1, the lowest class. If the city of Columbia is going to increase its dependence on wind power, it is going to have to purchase it from outside the state of Missouri. If the city develops a wind turbine farm in Boone county, it will not generate useful amounts of electricity.
LETTER: City shouldn't waste time with wind

It started with seeing our furniture in fresh, bright, and new colors, a standard country décor option when shopping for your wooded getaway or beach house.
Although, much of our furniture, aside from finish options aligns mostly in cottage style furnishings. For example, our Farmhouse Media Stand, our Shaker Secretary Desk, and our highly praised Jelly Cabinets, to name a few.
Whether looking for country cabinets, country coffee tables (like our Slate Top Coffee Table), or country bedroom furniture (like our Cottage Bookcase). We feel we have a great selection when it comes to country furniture.
But what is Country or Cottage Furniture?

Should I Show My Son A Pic Of His Dad? Advice from a Ph.D And My Brother
September 30, 2011
The other morning JD and I were being lazy in my bed. It was early, so I didn't even have the television on. My eyes were closed and JD said in the sweetest voice: "What does our dad look like? Can we drive there?" My stomach sunk and my eyes popped open. I turned to my go-to absent dad line: "Bud, you live here with mom and everyone has a different type of family"—then I turned on the television and Barney took it from there. I want you to know that I absolutely do feel like I'm avoiding talking about D.A.D and I tell myself it's OK, because the child psychologist told me not to elaborate. She told me to have a line ready, then distract. But, when JD asked me what his Dad looked like, my first thought was: Look in the mirror, kiddo. JD is his Dad's mini-me. I know some of you think he looks like me, but remember, you don't know what his dad looks like.
I thought about showing JD a pic of his Dad. There are images of him and his family on the Internet, but then I remembered that he's 4. Sometimes I wish he was 24, so I could be straight with him and just talk to him like an adult. Anyway, I did not show JD a pic of his Dad. When I was writing Single Parenting Advice for the June issue of Parenting, I interviewed Peggy Drexler, Ph.D., the author of Raising Boys Without Men: How Maverick Moms Are Creating the Next Generation of Exceptional Men. She cautioned that showing a picture of an absent-by-choice parent isn't the best move. "A growing child needs to be able to focus on successfully passing through his own developmental stages without distraction, worry, or preoccupations that are not solvable—like an adult who refuses to visit his child."
I decided showing the image would result in a lot of questions that would be cognitively hard for JD to swallow. Instead, I emailed his Dad and alerted him to the fact that his son was asking questions about him. He wrote back immediately and blamed everything on me. My brother Brian (who met JD's Dad) was over and said: "Of course, he did. He's in Indiana with his wife and son. He is doing everything in his power not to think about you or Jack. He doesn't even write a child support check—it's all direct deposit. It's been 4 years, Chris, and he's done nothing for his child. You popped his bubble. He just thought about you and blaming you made it easier than thinking about the fact that, holy sh*t, I have a kid in NJ. Think about it—why did he write back? This bothers him. This lives in him. And you know what, maybe there was a time where he did blame everything on you. He still might. You didn't know what you wanted. He didn't know what he wanted. You didn't communicate. That excuse is retired now, though. No one cares that he doesn't want to see you and everyone realizes it will be hard for you two to be in breathing space of each other. But none of this stopped you from being Jack's mom and that's the difference here. OK, look, my friend from work grew up without his dad and he loves his mom, respects her, she's the world. He said if he ever met his Dad he'd either say 'hi' or want to run him over with his car. There's a lot of gray area you're not getting, Chris."
"How old is your friend?" I asked.
"28," Brian said.
"Oh," I said. 'Want a beer?"
"OK," Bri said. We both took a swig.
"Should I show Jbird a pic?" I asked.
Long pause.
"Not yet," said Brian.
Single parents, have you shown your child a pic of the absent parent?

A Fundamental Breakdown of 3 Major EHR Companies
Updated Sep 3rd 2013 10:46AM
Sep 3rd 2013 10:45AMWhen most people talk about the electronic health record, or EHR, market, they tend to speak in terms of forward projections. They focus on the projection that the North American health care IT market will grow at a compound annual growth rate of 7.4% to $31.3 billion by 2017. They also point out that the U.S. government's HITECH legislation, started in 2009, will continue funding these businesses as medical practices are offered incentives to make "meaningful use" of their EHR services.
Shrewd investors, however, should know that forward growth projections are often far rosier than they actually are. Therefore, in our zeal to discuss the latest mobile EHR apps, speech recognition software, and biometrics technology in health care IT, we shouldn't neglect the basis of all solid, long-term investments -- the fundamentals.
In this article, I'll take a look at the fundamental growth of three leading EHR companies -- Allscripts , Cerner , and athenahealth -- and how much scaffolding supports each one.
Market share growth
Allscripts, Cerner, and athenahealth are three publicly traded companies that rank in the top ten EHR companies by market share. General Electric and McKesson are also major public players in the health care IT field, but both businesses are more diversified. Privately held Epic is the market leader in larger practices, while Practice Fusion is the fastest growing company in the industry.
A look at the market share growth in the ambulatory electronic medical record, or EMR, market between July 2012 and May 2013 reveals that only Practice Fusion, athenahealth, Epic, and Cerner reported positive market growth.

Epic |
+6% |
10.3% |
Cerner |

Allscripts |

10.6% |
While it's clear that athenahealth is the fastest growing publicly traded EHR company, its market share still trails its larger peers by a wide margin. Allscripts, on the other hand, has lost significant market share over the past year, despite extensive partnerships which include collaborations with tech giant Cisco and drugstore chain CVS Caremark.
The Foolish fundamentals
Now that we've established which companies are growing and which are shrinking, we should compare their fundamental valuations.

Fundamental investors should immediately notice some major problems with athenahealth -- its whopping P/E, P/S, and P/B ratios all suggest that the stock is grossly overvalued. Its 5-year PEG ratio of 3.79 also suggests sluggish growth ahead. Moreover, the company's paper-thin margins and high debt-to-equity ratio are major red flags. Allscripts has some major problems as well -- a five-year forecast for sluggish growth, a lack of profitability, and negative margins.
Cerner, on the other hand, has more stable valuations than either athenahealth or Allscripts, but the disparity between its PEG ratio and trailing P/E suggests limited upside from current levels. It also has robust double-digit margins in an industry plagued by negative profit growth.
A look at the top and bottom line growth of these three companies also confirms the fact that only Cerner has been able to preserve its top and bottom line growth over the past two years.
A look at the price performance of these three stocks over the same period indicates that although investors are satisfied with Cerner's solid growth, but they are more enamored with athenahealth's growth potential, despite its lack of fundamental support.
The Foolish bottom line
Of course, fundamental valuations only tell half the story for these EHR companies. To fully gauge their market value, investors should also consider their future growth prospects.
Looking forward, athenahealth investors should consider its deal with Ascension Health Alliance, which added 2,700 doctors to its EHR service, and the growth of its popular Epocrates medical reference app. Cerner investors should keep an eye on the company's partnerships with Nuance for clinical documentation improvement and voice-enabled EHR apps. Last but not least, Allscripts' partnerships with Cisco and CVS, along with its recently updated iPad EHR app, could help it regain some of its lost market share.
With the EHR market becoming more saturated every day, it can be tough to separate the winners from the losers. Although health care IT companies have yet to reach their full market potential, investors should always do their due diligence and measure each company's financial health against its future growth prospects to find the best long-term investment.
