The three worst free-agent signings by the Texans. BAMBOOZLED!
Four-year NFL veteran tight end Zach Potter signed with the Houston Texans yesterday. Where will his skills fit in with the current roster?
When big news hits, you know Twitter is going to be the chosen forum for quick analysis. It did not disappoint when the news about the Houston Texans releasing Ed Reed broke this morning. See some of the best tweets on the matter on BRB.
Just eight (8) months after bringing the future Hall of Fame safety in, the Texans have decided to part ways with Ed Reed. Why it happened, and why it's hard to argue with the decision, on Battle Red Blog.
The Texans have released veteran safety Ed Reed, who was signed this off season in favor of former Texan Glover Quin.
One unlucky soul was handed his walking papers to make room for Joe Mays. Who was waived?
The Houston Texans have improved their depth at inside linebacker by signing ex-Bronco Joe Mays.
Yes, the very same Joe Mays who took a chunk out of Matt Schaub's ear last year. It'd be like if Evander Holyfield signed Mike Tyson.
Spotrac answers the question of exactly how the numbers break down in Ed Reed's new contract with the Texans.
Let's hope this isn't a disaster.

Promise Neighborhood
A 3.7 square mile in southwest Houston known as
, once considered a "problem" neighborhood, is now recognized as a Promise Neighborhood by the U.S. Department of Education.
As part of its Neighborhood Revitalization strategy, the Department of Education has awarded a $500,000 Promise Neighborhood planning grant to Neighborhood Centers Inc. and its 12 partners.
Along with community residents, the partners will develop a plan for the creation of a strong pipeline of education—from
"birth through college to career"
—for all children living in the neighborhood.
A Promise Neighborhood is one in which the education of children is a priority for the whole community. This means that all systems serving the neighborhood—including businesses, health care, human services and others—must be focused on the goal of positive educational achievements for its children and families.
We invite you to visit
Baker-Ripley Neighborhood Center
to learn more about the Gulfton Promise Neighborhood, and to offer your input and support to our plan.

Greggs is asking Facebook and Twitter fans to submit ideas for a festive song as it looks to "capture the festive spirit of customers" and raise money for forces charity Help for Heroes.
The resulting song, inspired by what makes Christmas special for Greggs fans, will be recorded by indie band Silvers and released on iTunes on 19 December.
The baker hopes the crowdsourced charity single will take the top spot in the charts at Christmas. The song will be up against artists including the X Factor winner.
All profits will go to the charity Help for Heroes.
It is the first time Greggs has launched an interactive social media campaign that relies on the engagement of fans.
The concept was developed by digital agency Steel, which has created a character named Festive Jake the Festive Bake, after Greggs' seasonal Christmas pie, to front the campaign.
Ken McMeikan, Greggs CEO, said the aim is to raise funds for the charity while doing something fun because consumers are having a tough year and Christmas can be a difficult time for families of the armed forces.

And they can't take some of the loss out of the new 32$mil package of the current ceo maybe they could go back and do a takeback on the predecessor that set up for the new guy.
You have to work pretty hard to just loose 9% of you company value. http://www.forbes.com/lists/2012/..._7ZUR.html I'm kinda seeing a pattern of millions getting thrown around here. Maybe this coupon dealy is part of the SOP. |
http://www.coupons.com/coupon-cod...0&zid=pt8 WOW....somebody definitely does not know what is going on in their own company. |
See HERE [bestbuy.com]
As I stated in my previous post, I definitely do not want to bother, if all by my lonesome. However, if I got 3 or 4 locals that were affected to join in I'd love to make a go of it.

I know since i have had problems with a coupon or two from the site and the manufacturer was the one that had to and did send out a corrected one. |
I am pissed that instead of just tightening up the exclusions to prevent obvious abuse and fraud, BB instead decided to cancel the coupon altogether. They didn't need to do that. I don't shop at BB much to begin with, but this whole fiasco reminds me why I avoid them whenever possible. Zero reputation and proud of it since 2006, until somebody ruined it in 2010.
"Dear XXX, Earlier this week, you and other select customers received a special promotion from Best Buy that was connected to your MasterCard®. Our marketing department made a major Boo Boo and a bunch of people on that nasty SlickDeal site figured out how to take full advantage of the Boo Boo. Since we never alert the local stores as to what's going on, most of them didn't have a clue, so they muddled through trying to figure it out as the day went on. When they realized all the Amazon gift cards were swept clean from every Best Buy store in the America, we decided we had to put a stop to this nonsense. Amazon doesn't need our help in becoming more Amazonian. We sincerely apologize for the Boo Boo and any inconvenience we have caused you. We hope to serve you better in the future, but don't hold your breath. Thank you, Ms. Smith Soon to be ex Vice President Best Buy Customer Carelessness" |
Well, two.. Fry's is good for a laugh every so often, then I remember why I hate that place and vow to never return (again). Best Buy's ONLY redeeming quality is that they provide a B&M location to go lay your hands on something before you purchase it online... but this is clearly not a winning business model. Maybe they should start charging admission. |

Arrondissements of France
This article is part of the series on
Administrative divisions of France |
(incl. overseas regions) |
(incl. overseas departments) |
Urban communities |
Others in Overseas France
Overseas collectivities |
The 101 French departments are divided into 342 arrondissements,[1] which may be translated into English as districts.[2]
The capital of an arrondissement/district is called a subprefecture. When an arrondissement contains the prefecture (capital) of the department, that prefecture is the capital of the arrondissement, acting both as a prefecture and as a subprefecture.
Arrondissements are further divided into cantons and communes.
Role and administration[edit]
The administration of an arrondissement is assigned to a subprefect (French: sous-préfet) who assists the departmental prefect (préfet).
Unlike French regions, departments and communes, arrondissements do not have the status of legal entity in public law. In addition, unlike those other administrative divisions, they are not run by elected officials, but by political appointees, officials appointed by the French president.
The concept of arrondissements was proposed several times as an administrative reform during the Ancien Régime, notably by the intendant of the généralité of Brittany, Caze de La Bove, in his Mémoire concernant les subdélégués de l'intendance de Bretagne in 1775.
The arrondissements were created after the French Revolution by the Loi du 28 pluviôse in the year VIII of the Republican Calendar (17 February 1800) and replaced "districts". In certain periods in French history, they have served a role in legislative elections, especially during the Third Republic. In 1926, 106 arrondissements were suppressed by the government.[3][4] While it claimed it was to achieve fiscal savings, some political analysts considered the results electoral manipulation. Some of these suppressed arrondissements were restored in 1942.
Most departments have only three or four arrondissements. The departments of Paris and of the Territory of Belfort have only one, while the Moselle department has nine. Mayotte has none.

Appliance Engineer - The Open Door Innovate…or Die by Not Trying
Jeff Varick, founder and president, Brandmotion
It's critical to guard innovation as the engine of recovery once the recession ends.
About the Author: Jeff Varick is the founder and president of Brandmotion (www.brandmotion.com), a Grand Rapids, MI, U.S.–based manufacturer of solutions for consumer electrics inside automotive vehicles and household appliances. He was formerly the director of New Product Strategy for Johnson Controls, and the new business development manager for General Motors International Operations in Zurich.
"The test of a first-rate intelligence," F. Scott Fitzgerald once wrote, "is the ability to hold two opposed ideas in the mind at the same time, and still retain the ability to function."
For designers, engineers, and CEOs, that means we must balance the dual challenges of investing in growth through innovation while managing the current business bottom line. Too often, innovation efforts are one of the first things to get cut in a recession. However, companies that don't innovate in this recession may not be around for the next one.
The current trend is disconcerting. Many CEOs seem to be viewing innovation as something you do when times are good. The engineers and designers who remain during lean times live in fear of losing their jobs, stifled from coming up with the next "Big Idea."
Prior to starting my own engineering and design firm, I worked for auto supplier Johnson Controls and before that, General Motors, where I got an up-close-and-personal look at GM's retreat from being a leading automotive innovator. Instead of coming up with the latest and greatest breakthrough designs, GM opted to rebadge its lineup, putting a different grille on a Chevy and calling it a Buick, not realizing how badly their brand was deteriorating.
Instead of leading, GM was caught for years in reactive mode, trying to catch up to the competition. The new electric Chevy Volt is cool, but it's late. GM now has a great product lineup, but it's one that it should have had five years ago, maybe 10. This manufacturer may be the current poster company for paralyzing its business by not looking ahead with product innovation and taking the risks that go with that.
Some Innovative Approaches
To recapture America's innovative leadership that dates back to Alexander Graham Bell, the Wright Brothers, and Henry Ford, companies have to first commit to innovation as an essential, ongoing core business practice. The key to better results from those efforts is to test the innovative idea or product in the marketplace earlier and faster than most companies would be comfortable doing.
Most companies hang on to ideas way too long rather than getting them into test markets where they can learn and adapt. According to innovation expert Clay Christensen of the Harvard Business School, 93% of commercially successful innovations start out trying to solve a different problem than the one that eventually succeeded.
If that's the reality of innovation, it makes the most sense to speed up the process of cycling through value propositions to get to the one that works. And since longer cycles of pursuing a wrong-headed track just cost companies more money—and tie up precious innovation resources—there couldn't be a better approach to innovation for the times in which we now live.
Companies need to take their ideas, prototype them quickly, and try to sell them in market niches as a salable product with real consumers. They need to learn what works and what doesn't, and continue tweaking until the market agrees on what it really wants—and then scale up in core markets.
E-commerce technology today makes this process fast and inexpensive. A new wave of open-source e-commerce platforms like Magento allow you to have a unique e-commerce site up and running in days. Couple that with a targeted Google AdWords campaign to drive traffic, and you're now learning with real transactions and real customers. Another technique to lower costs is to find a partner company to cosponsor the product and share the developmental risks and costs.
When I oversaw marketing strategy and innovation within the automotive interiors group at Johnson Controls, we wanted to move faster and test our ideas more quickly, but we were faced with the "clock speed" problem: the development cycle of vehicles is very slow.
Our answer was to try to decouple the development of new features from the development of the vehicle. With a standard interface system, we felt we would be able to speed up the development of new consumer content.
The result was an overhead rail system for connecting consumer devices such as DVD players, iPod holders, and hands-free phone systems. We saw ourselves as "real estate" developers, facilitating opportunities for seamless customization inside the car.
To develop a lot of content in a short amount of time, we licensed the overhead real estate to consumer brand companies such as Black & Decker, Swiss Army, and Leatherman—companies with faster product development cycles—and provided them with the opportunity to reach their customers in a new environment. The system was a success, and at one point was being built into 1 million new vehicles each year.
My company was formed out of Johnson Controls to take this concept further and develop additional new modules, and market them on the Internet, direct to consumers.
Taking It to the Kitchen
And, yes, this applies to the appliance industry. One day, I received a call from the director of advanced concepts and technology at Whirlpool. He was intrigued with the rail-system concept, and wanted something similar to develop the vast real estate on the refrigerator door.
We ran a quick consumer survey that asked, "What's the number one thing that you want in your kitchen?" Some of us were surprised when the answer came back as "more counter space," but we shouldn't have been. We looked at what consumers had on their existing counters and saw not only toasters, coffee makers, and dish racks, but also FM radios, charging stations, iPod docking systems, CD players, satellite radio systems, home computers, and TVs: All the artifacts of the modern connected lifestyle.
The refrigerator real estate idea evolved into a system to mount and dock iPods, digital picture frames, and even flat-screen TVs on refrigerator doors. We used the same licensing concept, partnering with consumer brand companies to develop the modules and share the risk. The system, coined "Central Park," debuted on a line of Whirlpool refrigerators in 2007, and became one of the biggest media events in Whirlpool history.
Sure, America's back is against the wall in the current economy, and many of the nation's biggest companies are struggling to adapt their business models and are cutting back on innovation. But it's also a great time to create new businesses and product lines that anticipate a new order of things in the next economy. Much will have been destroyed in the process, but as the great economist Joseph Schumpeter taught us, this process of "creative destructionism" is precisely what makes America unique, creating the new from the remnants of the old.
Now more than ever, it's time to innovate…or die by not trying.

How to prove similarity a precongruence in non-deterministic call-by-need lambda calculi
Extending the method of Howe, we establish a large class of untyped higher-order calculi, in particular such with call-by-need evaluation, where similarity, also called applicative simulation, can be used as a proof tool
Extending the method of Howe, we establish a large class of untyped higher-order calculi, in particular such with call-by-need evaluation, where similarity, also called applicative simulation, can be used as a proof tool for showing contextual preorder. The paper also demonstrates that Mann's approach using an intermediate "approximation" calculus scales up well from a basic call-by-need non-deterministic lambdacalculus to more expressive lambda calculi. I.e., it is demonstrated, that after transferring the contextual preorder of a non-deterministic call-byneed lambda calculus to its corresponding approximation calculus, it is possible to apply Howe's method to show that similarity is a precongruence. The transfer is not treated in this paper. The paper also proposes an optimization of the similarity-test by cutting off redundant computations. Our results also applies to deterministic or non-deterministic call-by-value lambda-calculi, and improves upon previous work insofar as it is proved that only closed values are required as arguments for similaritytesting instead of all closed expressions.…

Rated 4 / 5 stars February 17, 2011
I voted one.
Just because this game actually does make poop look good. But not in a bad way honestly. I think it's really dumb and gross but good for a quick laugh. It's not meant to be some amazing mind blowing flash it's meant to gross you out and make you giggle. Which this does quite well.

Rated 1 / 5 stars July 4, 2010
this is funny don't know why it's such a low score if you click the 4th button again and again it looks wrong XD. But overall the game is completely boring so i'm giving it a 2
Rated 1 / 5 stars June 6, 2010
Immature humor set for a low rate childs cartoon. Perhaps the wrong site for this? To each their own in a sense for entertainment but I just can't find it in this one.

Checking the Spiritual Climate Around You
(This MMM was written by a colleague, Dr. Mike Madaris from Southern Mississippi.)
In becoming a lighthouse to those around you, one key ingredient would be a good knowledge of what is going on around you. An effective lighthouse keeper knows the terrain, so he can direct ships away from danger and towards safety.
In his landmark book, A Christian Critique of the University, the late scholar and statesman Dr. Charles Malik said,
"...to a Christian nothing is more serious than if Christ is not at home in the great citadels of learning...."and
"The universities directly and indirectly dominate the world; their influence is so pervasive and total that whatever problem afflicts them is bound to have far-reaching repercussions throughout the entire fabric of Western civilization. No task is more crucial and urgent today than to examine the state of the mind and spirit in the Western university."I am quite sure you would agree that the university is a vital part of our society and our world. The problem is that the examination Malik speaks of seems too large a task in light of the very immediate demands of teaching, research, service, family, church, and all the other time demands you face.
However, there is a very important as well as a fairly easy way to conduct this examination. Think about the spiritual climate in your department and in your college. Consider the hobbies, the office decorations, the kinds of jokes, and the views on morality in your department and in your college. This will tell quite a bit about the spiritual beliefs of your colleagues.
Note that this does not ask you to decide whether a colleague is "in the Kingdom of God" or not; that's between that individual and God. Nor does it ask you to stand in judgment; that too is God's business.
Try to notice the environment around you on campus this week as if Jesus Himself were experiencing it. What would He think? Would He have you respond? If so, how? Those are the questions embodied in Malik's plea. (Often it is difficult to analyze a situation as an impartial observer when you're in the middle of that situation; I think you'll find it very instructive to take the time to do so.)
Scripture: Titus 3:2-3 -- "...malign no one, be uncontentious, gentle, showing every consideration for all men. For we also once were foolish ourselves..."
Action Point: Prayerfully note the spiritual climate in your department and college this week. Talk with a Christian colleague about how you can have a positive influence -- as an individual and as a team of co-workers. Can you be a lighthouse there?

Elevate the eco-friendliness of your work environment with the 22" NEC MultiSync E222W. This widescreen model raises the standard for "green" LCD displays, featuring a handful of components that lower total cost of ownership by saving energy, tracking carbon footprint emissions and minimizing packaging. In fact, its panel consumers 50% less power and contains half the amount of mercury compared to traditional LCD monitors.

Excellent monitorPros: This is an excellent quality monitor, and it's built like a tank. The base is very sturdy and heavy, unlike some monitors. The monitor body itself is also quite sturdy and solid. There is nothing "cheap" and shoddy about this thing. The picture quality is unbelievably good for any price. I formerly owned only Viewsonic monitors, but their quality has slipped terribly in the last few years. This is my first NEC, and I'm a customer for life now. I can't recommend this monitor highly enough. One thing that I find to be a tremendous benefit is that the monitor adjusts in myriad ways, including height and tilt, and the entire screen actually rotates 90 degrees! Also, the biggest plus for me is that the monitor is a 16:10 ratio instead of the annoying 16:9 widescreen. This monitor's native resolution is 1680 x 1050. If you're looking for an excellent 16:10 LCD monitor which doesn't have the annoying washed out brightness of an LED monitor, buy this thing. You'll be very happy with it. Cons: None come to mind. Other Thoughts: There was only one stuck pixel when I first turned on the monitor, but that happens, and it has nothing to do with the quality. The stuck pixel was at the very bottom edge of the screen, and it was easily fixed by applying gentle pressure several times with the rounded edge of a ball point pen cap. It hasn't occurred again. Actually, I blame UPS more for that problem, since, once again, UPS made receiving a package an absolute nightmare, as they usually do. After a week of UPS slamming the monitor package around, and refusing to deliver it to me (!), I'm surprised the thing worked at all. I really wish Newegg would stop using UPS for shipping. However, again, that has nothing to do specifically with Newegg or the monitor itself. Did you find this review helpful? |
Almost perfect...Pros: I bought this monitor to do a lot of vertical type work and reading on and as an addition to a Samsung 19" LCD monitor. Base and stand are sturdy and the ability to tilt, pivot, and swivel are as advertised. Resolution on the monitor is nice and the colors are pretty good. Cons: The main complaint I have is the colors on the monitor. Compared to my older monitor and the monitor on my laptop, there is a weird "dullness" to it. I've adjusted everything and spent quite a bit of time perfecting the "match" to my Samsung. It's almost 85% perfect, but some colors will still be off. Lastly, the control panel for the monitor is unwieldy and difficult to use precisely. Other Thoughts: If you're looking to do a multiple monitor set up, just follow everyone's advice and order the same monitor. As an addition, this monitor is nearly perfect and functions exactly as I hoped. Did you find this review helpful? |
Don't buy if using VGA inputs!Pros: Good monitor for DVI inputs ONLY!!! Nice stand. New Egg shipping. Cons: Bought this to use as a secondary monitor on a laptop with the exact same resolution as this monitor. Laptop only has VGA output and this monitor has VGA input; so far so good. When connected through VGA monitor WILL NOT SYNC with video signal from laptop; result wasted $200.00!!!!!! Other Thoughts: Guess I'll put thuis on my son's computer to replace his HP display which has both DVI and VGA input which WILL SYNC with the laptop and suffer the lower resolution-BUMMER! My son will like it for the increased resolution; BUMMER fo me yet good for him. 0 out of 6 people found this review helpful. Did you? |
Awesome productPros: Swivel, pivot, tilt, up/down...can there be any more??? I bought 5 of these for a multi-monitor setup. Heavy base. Very solid feeling. Cons: 1680x1050 vs 1920x1080, but that is not much of a biggie. Did you find this review helpful? |
Great monitor for everything.Pros: -swivel, pivot, tilt, AND height adjustment!? Cons: -button for browsing the menu is a bit weird, annoying at first but not that big of a deal once you get used to it Other Thoughts: I got this monitor because the quality of the big name competitors have gone down A LOT over the years. Did you find this review helpful? |
Good monitorPros: Height adjustment, swivels left right, can be in portrait OR landscape Cons: Native color settings felt too blue, took a lot of tweaking to become close to my other, also NEC, monitor. And I still can't get the images the same. The navigation button can be an utter annoyance because when you want to go down it goes left and you go right it switches settings, etc. Unlike my other NEC monitor this one doesn't have a button to switch between display modes (standard, text, movie, etc.) Other Thoughts: On a realistic standpoint the portrait mode is barely useful if you've been using a landscape monitor for a while and do not NEED a portrait monitor. I have two monitors set up and use this as my secondary and it's not exactly enjoyable to look all the way up above the main on the view the address bar on the second. The only negatives I can state do not degrade the daily enjoyment I get out of this monitor. 5 / 5 from me. Did you find this review helpful? |

irb.com and James Mortimer 20.Mar.2013Getty Images
The Hurricanes Development side racked up a 68-3 score against Tonga A at Lower Hutt with Rey Lee-Lo, Matt Proctor and Callum Gibbins all grabbing a brace of tries.
Scrum half Samisoni Fislau got the home side off to a great start with a try in the sixth minute and the points kept coming.
Tries from Proctor and Lee-Lo helped his side to a 35-3 margin at the break, then Lee-Lo crossed to reopen the scoring within two minutes of the restart, converted by fly half Ihaia West. The Hurricanes added another four tries in the second half, including a second for Proctor.
Early pace
In Dunedin, the Highlanders Development XV and defending champions the Fiji Warriors fought out a 37-37 draw.
The Warriors were coming off the back of wins over Brisbane Academy and Rebel Rising in the Australian series but it was the Highlanders Development team, in their first match of this year, who set the early pace.
The sides were locked in a tough first-half battle, each scoring a try - Fijian openside flanker Apisai Domolailai then Highlanders wing Jayden Spence – but the kicking of home fly half Lima Sopoaga was the difference as the Highlanders Development team took a 17-7 half-time lead at Forsyth Barr Stadium.
The Warriors' second-half riposte was swift, with two quick tries tying the scores at 20-20 with 25 minutes left, and for the rest of the match the Highlanders Development team were battling to rein in the visitors.
Sopoaga kept the hosts in touch but with only 12 minutes left Fiji had stretched to an 11-point lead thanks to tries from centre Nemani Nadolo and full back Aisea Natogo.
A try by the Highlanders Development team's captain Charlie O'Connell and a Warriors penalty meant the visitors led by seven as the game neared its conclusion.
Fittingly it was Sopoaga – who finished with a personal tally of 27 points - who salvaged a draw for the Highlanders Development XV, converting his own try in the dying minutes.
Edged out
The Fiji Warriors next face the Blues Development XV, who were edged out 19-17 at Waitemata Park by a last-gasp Samoa A penalty.
There was plenty of support among the 2,500-strong crowd for the visitors, who came into the match with two defeats and one win.
Samoa A started with gusto, opening the scoring in just the fifth minute when flanker Falemiga Selesele darted through several defenders to score.
The Blues' forwards took matters into their own hands immediately from the restart, fashioning a rolling maul to reach the line and although held up, hooker Gafatasi Su'a burrowed over from the resulting scrum.
Poor handling thwarted the Blues Development team's ambition but Waisake Naholo eventually dotted down to secure a 14-7 lead, before Samoa A's James So'oialo kicked a penalty to narrow that lead.
Another So'oialo penalty cut the deficit to one point and midway through the second half a penalty put Samoa A 16-14 up before a Blues three-pointer reclaimed the lead with just 10 minutes to play.
So'oialo missed a penalty and when the Blues Development XV were penalised with time up on the clock, fly half Ki Anufe assumed the kicking duties to snatch the 19-17 win, much to the delight of the crowd.
Blues Development coach Bevan Cadwallader said: "We were out-passioned by a high-energy team. They made their own luck and really forced us to make uncharacteristic errors."
Back in Australia, the Reds College XV posted their third straight win with a convincing 59-14 victory over Junior Japan at Ballymore.
Led by number 8 Curtis Browning, the Reds College XV followed up their success over Tonga A (24-3) earlier in the month.
The hosts were scarcely challenged, leading 33-0 at half-time. Keen-eyed spectators would have noticed a high-profile water-carrier at the game - Wallaby and Reds star Quade Cooper helping out tomorrow's stars.
There is only one match remaining for Australian teams in this year's Pacific Rugby Cup with Sydney Academy tackling Junior Japanat Griffith Oval in Canberra on Saturday. The other three core teams will play in New Zealand the same day with the Japanese team heading across the Tasman after their match.

Eagles No Match For IUS
Wilmore, Ky. - Asbury was no match for the No. 4 ranked Indiana Southeast Grenadiers, as IUS dominated the game 101-67. Asbury was unable to really do much of anything offensively and had trouble against Southeast's full court press.
Asbury (14-14, 6-5 KIAC) only shot 36% and was out-rebounded 64-40 as Indiana Southeast (21-3, 10-0) keeps their perfect mark against NAIA DII competition. IUS had five players score in double figures led by Rick Bodiford's game-high 25. Cory Britt (Cynthiana, Ky.) led the Eagles with 17 points and seven rebounds. Phillip Morrison and Jamal Morris were also in double figures with 14 and 11.
The Eagles went into halftime down 55-29 but were able to hang with IUS for a better portion of the first half. Both teams struggled from the start with the score tied at 10-10 with 10 minutes left in the half. There were five lead changes and three ties up to that point. IUS would score 45 points in the last 10 minutes of the half to take a commanding 26 point lead into the break.
Asbury will host Berea on Tuesday February 16th at 8:00 pm for Senior Day. Asbury is currently one game behind Berea for third place in the KIAC with two games remaining. The Eagles will close the season at Cincinnati Christian on Friday February 19th while Berea must still play IUS again.

Author Robert Eugene Beasley Jr. has created a veritable guide to success in THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO BECOMING A WORLD CLASS GLOBAL BUYER.
Crestview, FL (PRWEB) February 19, 2014
The world economy is constantly changing. This is due to the emergence of globalization and the amazing advances in transportation and telecommunication. With such advancements though, it is quite important for entrepreneurs to have an edge on the competition. In THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO BECOMING A WORLD CLASS GLOBAL BUYER, author Robert Eugene Beasley, Jr. shares his hard earned experience to those who truly wish to become effective global buyers.
THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO BECOMING A WORLD CLASS GLOBAL BUYER is a self-help book, where one will learn the thirteen specific skills required to become a world-class buyer, such as transportation, billing terms, cash flow, profit, long-term contracts, partnering versus strategic alliance, mentoring, ethics and morals, business modeling, and effective presentations, just to name a few. Also included in the book are the eight steps in supply category management, negotiating for damages, seven key attributes for success, and the fifteen common traits of winners. Last but certainly not the least, are the very helpful hints found after each chapter, which are summarized in the closing chapter 25.
This highly informative and eye-opening book draws from Mr. Beasleys forty eight years of experience. THE DEFINITIVE GUIDE TO BECOMING A WORLD CLASS GLOBAL BUYER is without a doubt a must have for entrepreneurs everywhere.

In one respect, Jay Cutler's insertion into the starting lineup didn't make a difference in the way the Broncos performed as a collective. They were 2-3 in the five games before the rookie made his first start on Dec. 3 against Seattle; they went 2-3 during the five games that followed.
But for the offense itself, Cutler's impact was profound. An offense that had accounted for 16.9 points per game in the season's first 11 games averaged 23.4 in the last five. The offense's touchdown output increased from 1.8 per game to 2.4 and its passing touchdown production nearly doubled from 1.0 to 1.8 per game.
Those numbers reminded Head Coach Mike Shanahan that he'd made the right choice when he made the switch following the Thanksgiving loss at Kansas City.
"You're not going anywhere in the playoffs averaging 17 points a game," he said. "We put Jay in there, and we are averaging 25 points a game (an average that includes Champ Bailey's touchdown return in Week 17). You've got a chance to do something in the playoffs if you are averaging 25 points a game."
But Shanahan took a broader view in his assessment of Cutler than just the five weeks in December.
"It's not just the last five games that was some good experience for him. It's what he's done since he's been here," Shanahan said. "(It's) how excited he is about football. He's a guy who loves it. He breathes it. He wants to be here. You see him here working out in the offseason. He's a young guy who is excited about his future. That's what separates the good ones from the great ones, guys that have a passion for what they do. They'd play the game even if they weren't getting the type of money that they get. They enjoy it. That's the way I felt about John Elway and Steve Young. They would have played the game because they are so competitive. They love to win.
"You've got to have guys that it's part of their life, (to whom) not winning the Super Bowl is unacceptable to him. With that type of mindset, you've got a guy that'll get those other guys to do the little things that they should do and can get over the hump."
And Shanahan heads into the offseason believing that Cutler can be such a player.
FINAL ANALYSIS: Became the first rookie in NFL history with multiple touchdown passes in each of his first four games … Had the fifth-highest passer rating of quarterbacks who had at least 125 passes (25.0 per game) from Dec. 1 onward; his 88.5 rating was behind only Indianapolis' Peyton Manning (102.6), St. Louis' Marc Bulger (93.4), New Orleans' Drew Brees (91.8) and New England's Tom Brady (90.1) … Cutler's nine touchdown passes in December were third in the league behind Bulger and Manning, who each fired 10; his touchdown percentage (6.6 percent) was second in the league among quarterbacks to start all five games in December, behind only Atlanta's Michael Vick … His completion percentage (59.1), touchdown percentage and passer rating rank first all-time among Broncos rookies; his yardage per attempt places him second in team rookie annals.
NEXT: Defensive end Elvis Dumervil.

People with high stress levels are more likely to have heart attacks and strokes, respond poorly to flu vaccines and catch colds more easily than those with low levels of work or interpersonal stress. To sideline stress, you need to learn to shift your perception and the impact of stressful situations. Here are some hints on how to do that.
1.) Take a chill pill. High anxiety can put a damper on your performance levels, so take psychological steps, like prayer, meditation, and positive imagery, to reduce your anxiety level. Or just forgive someone who's slighted you.

So, if you're done being a puppet master, do you think you could take your hand out from under my dress?

Choosing a GUI Library for Your Embedded Device

Library for heartbeat graphic
Nice article! I'm working right now in some projects with Qt Embedded and it's been good so far, but I'm curious about what specific library did you use to graph the heartbeat with Qtopia.
The only thing I've found that can make anything like this is a library called QWT which is not included in the Qt package.
Has anyone an example code
Has anyone an example code for a graph that is updated continiously?
using Nano-X
Using Nano-X is a real headache. Documentation is not good. Though we have no better solution for uClinux we are using in our project (another option is Framebuffer, he-he).
E.g. it's quite unobvious how to setup a regional-specific font.
You have to look into the sources all the time.
Linux, frame buffer, embedded
This is a nice start article for business and technical people also. This provides the first feel of the technology and the information.
Nano-X is indeed very small and basic but this is exactly why I think it's so worthwhile using it.
Many things can be implemented using simpler means and one has no difficulty looking directly at the Nano-X source code to get a grasp on how things are done there; an insight can be easily gained. I think this gives a developer more freedom of choice how to get things implemented in his own way - at least to some extend.
Also, another advantage arises in my opinion from the conceptual closeness of Nano-X to X. Nano-X might have nothing to do with X11 in any way, however, porting applications that use Xlib by design is very much feasible.
Although it is true that Nano-X lacks widgets to be natively used, there is an extension called TinyWidgets that builds on top of the Nano-X library. In addition to providing most of the elements of a modern graphical user interface it does also come with a graphical designer which I have found helpful so far for my work with Nano-X.
A good effort indeed !
May i note that Qtopia is NOT the embedded version of QT.
Qt library comes in many flavors, mainly for Desktop(development purpose) called Qt/X11 and Embedded(OSrc version for embedded systems) called Qt/Emb. Qt library makes use of the Frame buffer and Input devices.
Now comes Qtopia. It is more of a server (Palmtop-Environment UI for embedded systems) than a library, which runs _above_ the Qt/Emb(or Qt/X11 with Virtual Framebuffer on a development PC). In a way, Qtopia is itself an application making use of the underslying Qt library.
When you write applications for the final GUI, you usually use Qtopia headers and libraries(which in turn makes use of functions in Qt library).
By the way, i wonder why was OPIE(Open Palmtop Integrated Environment) not worth comparing in this study?
which Nano-X?
I found two on a web search:
you're clearly writing about the first one, but what's up with the second one??
RE: which Nano-X?
It's the same. centurysoftware is run by Greg Haerr, who is also the main force behind Nano-x, the Nano-X SDK mentioned in your second link is pretty much outdated and abandoned.
Qtopia more then a GUI
Very good article, but I think you should mention that Qtopia Core is more then a GUI, it is an application framework. with a complete set of classes for things such as:
Session Management
Does your application need to save and restore settings, Qtopia hs this built in
Does your app need to talk to a server. or maybe be a server. QSockets(UDP & TCP) and QTcpServer are nifty classes for doing this.
Do you need to do a heavy process outside the GUI thread, QThreads will aid here, and most classes in Qtopia are now thread safe
Qt comes with SQLite built in, and of course can talk to almost all major databases
Data Serialization
If you send data to and from other devices QT will take care of little endian/ big endian. All objects are easy to serialize with QDataStream
Do you need to support more then one language. Qtopia comes with a tool called Linguist which allows you to add multi language support without additional programing. It also supports Asian charactor sets as well as manages right to left languages in every GUI widget
Pixmap Management
Need to use something like a cancel pixmap in more then one location. Qtopia apps will cache pixmaps so they get stored once no matter how many places you use them. QImage and QPixmaps work hand in hand so images can be scaled on depending how they are to be used.
Interprocess Communication
QDbus makes it very easy for apps to talk to other Qtopia apps.
Want to have multiple looks for your display, perhaps a daytime display and a night time display. QTheme makes this very easy to do
Focus on the GUI
I could have mentioned a lot of things, but as i was writing an article and not a book I had a limit on space, and then some things is left out.
nice sales pitch
nice to see trolltech salesmen trolling :)
don't forget to mention - the commercial embedded license for QT is ridiculously expensive.
wxWidgets is a viable route for a commercial product - LGPL.
scrolling a widget
"In Qtopia, I simply made a class, connected some signals and slots, and puff, the magic happened."
:) As for the scolling I check out the scroll function in QWidget. It is probably what you are looking for.
Available browsers on these two GUI systems
Maybe You think of internet
Maybe You think of internet tablets like the Nokia 770. But most of my customers do not have the need for a browser, they need a GUI specific for their device most often with no desktop.
And yes i would have liked to dive into the software availiable on the two platforms. And I would also have liked to research more on the add on libraries, that You can put on top of Nano-x to give you the buttons, textpads a.s.o. that you have in QTopia, but I had to set the limit somewhere or I would still be writing on the article.

Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

For Agnieszka Radwanska, 13 was a lucky number on Sunday night at the Australian Open, as the world No.4 took her 13th consecutive win of the 2013 season in a straight-sets drubbing of Ana Ivanovic, 6-2 6-4.
Not only was it Radwanska's 13th win in a row, it also marked her 25th and 26th consecutive sets, the Polish No.1 embarking on a streak that only Serena Williams can top as far as wins in a row on the pro women's tour (the American has 20 straight victories dating back to last year's US Open).
But the way that Radwanska beat Ivanovic at Rod Laver Arena – losing just six games and winning in 70 minutes – sent a signal to the rest of the women's field remaining at Melbourne Park: Aga's on a mission.
"What can I say? I'm just very happy that I can play on the very high level," Radwanska said.
"Already 13 matches not even losing a set. I hope I can keep going three more."
"She took Serena into a third set in Wimbledon," Ivanovic said, noting Radwanska could challenge any of the big hitters: Serena, Victoria Azarenka or Maria Sharapova.
"She's a player – it's no secret – who doesn't make too many winners, but she has good hands. She can really get the opponents to feel a little awkward, you know, make you go for too much. That's her strength."
If 2012 was the year that Radwanska solidified herself as a top-five player, then 2013 would be the one where she expects herself to win a major title. The aforementioned Wimbledon final with Williams was her introduction to many mainstream sports fans, but in the tennis realm, Radwanska has been steadily climbing the totem pole for years.
Many saw Radwanska's 2007 US Open win over Sharapova as her breakout effort. Then just 18, she down the defending champion in New York in three sets.
Li Na, the 2011 French Open champion, awaits Radwanska in the quarterfinals, with a Sharapova encounter looming in the semifinals. Her run to the Wimbledon final has given her the belief that three more – even if they include Li, Sharapova, Azarenka or Serena – is realistic.
"A major final is a little different final than any other tournament," Radwanska said.
"Of course I have a lot more confidence after two titles that I won the last two weeks, so definitely, yes."
But Radwanska was 0-6 in 2012 against Azarenka, and suffered a tight three-set loss to Sharapova at the WTA Season-Ending Championships before being drubbed by Williams in the semifinals. It's a big ask to break through against the big three, but Radwanska aims to do it with a crafty, creative game.
"She was hitting softer than I thought," Ivanovic explained with surprise after the loss. "I couldn't get my timing. She was changing the rhythm, as well."
That rhythm change has earned her comparisons to Martina Hingis, and should she get a shot at Serena in the final, she'll employ a similar game plan as the Swiss Miss did.
"She's placing [her serve] really well," Ivanovic described. "She's obviously very talented and has great hands. [Her serve] is hard to read. She can do either side of ball toss, so I guess that's why she's successful at it."
Radwanska will look to make moves on her service games, even though it's the part of her repertoire that's underrated by opponents.
As is her power when she chooses to use it.
"She sort of, you know, gives you time," Ivanovic added.
"And then all of a sudden, she goes for it."
