EDITOR'S NOTE: This column is part of the call to prayer issued by Frank S. Page, president of the Southern Baptist Convention Executive Committee, to pray for revival and spiritual awakening for our churches, our nation and our world.
CHARLESTON, Tenn. (BP) -- Does your life have a "spiritual presence"? What about your family? Your ministry? Your church?
We rarely pray for the very things that we say need prayer. We deliver and hear sermons and devotions that give us no opportunity for digestion or response. "We must keep moving with our agenda, our order of worship, our plan." That may be our greatest problem.
Our greatest need is to cultivate "spiritual presence" by spending time with the Father in prayer. Everywhere Jesus went, His spiritual presence filled the space, whether a room, a synagogue, a boat or the wide open spaces of the countryside. Seeing this, His disciples asked Him, "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1).
In so many of our ministries, there is a definite lack of seeking God, acknowledging His sovereign ability to meet our needs. This should change. Perhaps when we get desperate enough, it will.
We cannot expect God to do anything with our efforts if we, as leaders, will not do what we are asking the churches to do. It is an old principle I first learned in the 101st Airborne Division when I was in the Army, and a principle that I discovered later is in the Bible -- "Lead by example."
If our greatest need is God, then let's pray together (not just individually) and invite Him into our work, over our work, to guide our work. Let's cry out to Him for our churches, our denomination, our nation and our world. As I attend denominational meetings, people often say that we put our trust in our programs and our abilities more than in God.
But when someone suggests that we commit time in every meeting to corporate prayer, those pleas often go unheeded. Have we grown so far away from God that some in leadership positions have grown uncomfortable with shepherding times of corporate prayer?
Or perhaps we think, "We don't need to pray here because we are all praying away from here." Or perhaps the power of personalities present seems too staggering to waste their valuable time in corporate prayer. Or, could it be that such times of prayer are not happening in our churches or entity staff meetings either? Could it be that prolonged periods of God-seeking prayer are not a part of our normal routine?
When we gather for our church or denominational committee meetings, do we not have 10 to 15 minutes we can give to corporate prayer? We don't have time for prayer? What does that say to God?
We preachers have told our people, "If you want to know your priorities, look at your checkbook or look at your daily planner; those are your priorities." A similar rule applies to the church, the association, the state convention, the SBC and its entities: "You want to know what our priorities are? Look at our meetings; watch what we do."
When seeking God is a priority in our private lives, corporate prayer is a natural expression of that in our public lives. A lack of prayer communicates loudly that we are more about getting on with business than we are with seeking God.
Someone may think this focus on prayer is really old school, that we need to get caught up with a more sophisticated way of doing things in the 21st century. But I hope I never become that sophisticated. I need God every single moment. I have seen Him do more in our church and in my life as a result of prayer than as a result of any business meeting we have ever had.
Pastors, church workers, denominational leaders, I urge you to do everything in your power from your seat of influence to bring seeking the Lord back to everything you do. Simply put, we need God!

Made for the Stash-quatch.
Unlike those scrawny kids in tight pants down at the terrain park, you're a real man with big feet, so why should you be denied the right to tear up the mountain with some of the most advanced technology in snowboarding just because your dogs are bigger than the average rider's? Luckily the folks at Lib Tech haven't forgotten about you—the Skunk Ape C2-BTX HP Wide Snowboard is built specially just for the big guy who shreds hard on everything from open powder fields to icy steeps, and everything in between.
C2 BTX Power Banana technology features rocker between the bindings for a floaty and forgiving ride in powder, with camber zones extending from the bindings to the tip and tail to give it a more aggressive feel that provides edge hold on hard pack and pop off of jumps. A directional twin shape and set-back stance gives you more power and control when you're shredding the deep stuff, but still allows you to ride away switch so you can stomp those big back 180s into fluffy landings. Magne-Traction edges are serrated to slice through ice likes
it's fresh corduroy, so you can carve down bulletproof slopes with ease while everyone else is sliding out on their asses.
You can also ride a little easier knowing that this board was made using Horsepower (HP) Construction, Lib-Tech's experiMental division's favorite high-perfomrnace combination of lightweight, strong, environmentally friendly materials. Basalt volcanic glass replaces fiberglass to reduce the amount of toxins created in the manufacturing process without sacrificing strength or response, the Bio Bean topsheet is made from castor beans instead of petroleum-based plastics, and the lightweight and strong Columbian Gold wood core comes from fast-growing, sustainably harvested trees so you're not contributing to the destruction of the rainforests.

- Familiarity: I've used it several times
I have used both the HP and regular versions and they are both incredible. You can not go wrong with either one. I just wanted to save a little weight with this version and it is noticeable lighter. I was riding the Travis Rice Pro 161 for the last 2 years and loved it, but do not ride switch much so I wanted a set back stance, twin board that was bigger - so I grabbed this in a 165. It is just amazing. I float better than the T Rice, probably because the 165 is a better size for me and this is a wide board (though the Rice is a great board and mid wide) I can lurk in the trees and not fear of slowing down in massive snow now. It is so much fun! I mounted Union Factory (thanks again Travis Rice!) and use K2 UFO and Ride Lasso boots with this. It turns when you want it to, floats, butters, carves and brings a smile to my face every time I use it. Its everything I wanted in a board and then some. I loved the T rice board and would recommend it to anyone, but this Skunk Ape fits me better and lets me improve my riding. Either version is great, but if you want to be environmentally friendly and save a little weight (and like sparkles) then this is the version for you. So much fun!

Thomas Dunne Books, New York
2002 (hc)
By: Paul Sussman
Thomas Dunne Books, New York
2002 (hc)
Paul Sussman's first novel, The Lost Army of Cambyses,
is simply a terrific read! It has all the elements of a Grade A
thriller a la Ludlum, Jon Land, etc., including a tough yet vulnerable
heroine, a dashing hero (an archaeologist, of course), a haunted yet
savvy policeman, not one but two really malevolent bad guys, a search
for treasure, chase scenes, and exotic locales. What more could one
want for leisure-time reading?
The lost army referred to in the novel's title is a
briefly stated reference in Herodotus that recounts the misadventures of
some 5,000 Persian soldiers sent into Egypt by the mad despot Cambyses, son
of Cyrus the Great, in 523 BC. According to Herodotus, a great sand storm
buried the 5,000 and no trace was ever found of them again.
The contemporary story begins with the brutal murders
of an antiquities dealer in Cairo and a suspected tomb raider in Luxor;
these murders are followed closely by the death, apparently by natural
causes, of a British archaeologist in Saqqara. The convoluted plot that
ties these and other subsequent deaths together is then told from the
perspectives of the novel's two protagonists, Inspector Yusuf Khalife of the
Luxor police and Tara Mullray, the daughter of the deceased British
archaeologist in Saqqara. Tara is joined in her search for the truth of her
father's death by her former lover and intrepid archaeologist, Daniel Lacage.
The separate trails followed by Khalifa and Tara begin to converge and point
to a shadowy bin Laden-like Islamist terror master named Sayf al-Tha'r and
rumors of a fabulous treasure hidden in the Theban hills.
Like many novels involving archaeologists in exotic
settings, Lost Army is derivative of that best-loved
archaeologist/adventurer, Indiana Jones in Raiders of the Lost Ark.
Similarities include the former lovers re-uniting in search of buried
treasure, Daniel's fear of snakes (especially a particularly nasty
Black-necked Cobra), and the inclusion of an outlaw archaeologist (although
Lost Army's Dravic is thuggish whereas Raider's Bellocq was urbane). But
these similarities are by no means distracting and Sussman writes with
passion and verve as the main characters, both good and bad, race to the
denouement in the Egyptian desert. While the reader may have anticipated
the literal fight to the death in the closing pages of the novel, this
reader was wonderfully surprised by the ending, which was most certainly not
derivative of Indiana Jones!
This is a four-trowel read, perfect for a cold winter
night as the reader follows the hero and heroine over the burning sands of
the Egyptian desert.

Floyd. I'll give this man credit for the access. I'ts beyond anything done by any athlete or any other public figure for that matter. HBO fucked up. Being a production man myself, someone in this man's camp did a great job of holding on. This footage, even without the greatest writing possible (HBO), is so much better because of the access. I'm flabbergasted at the access, but it's his camp. Smart though. He's being as real as he can. I think the money has scewed some of his views but that should be expected. He's hiding from himself in some ways but we all are. I'm not jealous. I wake up in the morning and feel comfortable, most days at least. He's a disciplined man. Given everything he has, he can handle it. Most of us coulldnt. This is honestly one of the best docs that I've ever seen. Even though Floyd wasnt completely honest, and hearing Mama floyd say, "he's still learning," I give him mad props. Mad props... Mad, mad props. I bet he feels like Xerxes at times, the guy from 300. "For I'm a kind."
My buzzed thoughts...
good shit though. really good.

|Residents with frozen pipes still 'borrowing' water
|Tuesday, February 25, 2014 9:33 PM
Herald Editor
Homes with frozen lines include: 632 E. Fifth St.; 703 E. Fifth St.; 705 E. Fifth St.; and 615 E. Fifth St., all of whom were hooked up with hoses from neighbors on Jan. 30; 527 Lima Avenue, hooked up with a hose on Feb. 13; 733 Suthoff and 727 Euclid St., hooked up with hoses on Jan. 14; and 505 Lima Avenue and 811 Clime St., hooked up with hoses on Feb. 18.
Homes at 231 N. Bredeick and 615 W. Fourth St. have had regular water service restored.
The city water lines from the main to the meter or valve have frozen.
"The frost line went deeper this year due to the extreme cold temperatures and the lines froze," Interim Safety Service Director Sherryl George said."The four customers on East Fifth Street with frozen lines may have to wait a while. We will have to bring in some heavy equipment and shut down the street to fix those. It will be tough to shut down one of the city's main thoroughfares."
The Schoskers on Suthoff Street may not be happy about their frozen pipes but said the city has been very attentive.
"We had city workers here within a few hours of us losing our water," Carla Schosker said. "They were here and inspected everything and had the water going but it refroze. We weren't aware you needed to let the water run. That's the only thing that could have helped us. The city could do a better job about getting the word out on that."
Water Superintendent Tim Williams said all the homes do have water with the degree of use varying.
"Some have enough pressure to run the household and others only have enough to take care of the essentials," Williams said. "It's been tough to get a schedule together to get these issues resolved because the city doesn't have the equipment to dig up the frozen ground and the people you call to help are busy because everyone's having issues this winter."
The city and the outside companies providing service need to be available at the same time. Furloughs and reduction of employees through attrition have left the city lacking manpower and hours to tackle all of this winter's woes. City crews have dealt with the residential water problems, record snowfall and an unusually high number of water main breaks in the past six to eight weeks.
According to the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, garden hoses are very unsanitary because dirt, debris and insects can get into them and the hoses and fittings are made of materials that can leach harmful chemicals into the water. This includes lead and a variety of chemicals used in plastics. The plastics most hoses are made from are not approved for conveying drinking water.
If people still insist on using hoses for water they intend to consume or bathe with, they need to first boil the water. Water from hoses is OK to use for flushing toilets.
The city is providing bottled water for drinking and dental hygiene.
Other information provided by the EPA included:
When below-freezing temperatures occur over a few days, water pipes and meters that are close to cold air may freeze. Property owners are responsible for protecting both water pipes and the water meter from damage. Residents can take steps to prevent water pipes and meters from freezing in order to continue to enjoy water service as well as avoiding unnecessary and expensive repairs. Preventing pipes and meters from freezing is much easier than trying to thaw them.
Provide warmth to the water pipes:
• Eliminate cold drafts near water pipes.
• Tightly close doors and windows to the outside and eliminate drafts from crawl spaces.
• Fill cracks in walls and around windows.
• Turn off water to garden hose connections at an inside valve and drain the exposed piping before freezing temperatures set in.
• Open the door to the room where the pipes are located to allow warmth to circulate.
• Place a lighted bulb near water pipes. (Never use open flames.)
• Wrap pipes in insulation or heat tape.
• Open cabinet door below the sink to allow warm air to reach the pipes.
Make frequent use of your water supply:
Flowing water often breaks up ice below freezing. When outside temperatures remain below freezing, it's less expensive to run your faucet regularly than for you to repair a frozen or burst pipe.
What to do if pipes freeze?
If no water comes from your faucets when you turn them on, most likely the pipes nearest a wall, door, window or along the floor are frozen:
• Start by opening a faucet near the frozen pipe to release any vapor from the melting ice and so that you'll know when the water starts flowing again.
• Begin warming the pipes nearest the faucet and work toward the frozen section.
• Blow warm air on the pipe using a hair dryer. (Do not leave the dryer unattended or allow it to overheat.)
• Once water has begun to flow again, let a pencil-sized stream of water flow through the faucet until normal heating is restored to the area.
• Eliminate cold drafts and allow warm air to circulate around the pipes to prevent freezing again.

Interview Details Applied online, got a call for an interview about two weeks later. Had phone interview with recruiter that went very well, then had the second phone interview with a different recruiter the next week which also went very well. They said they wanted me to come interview at their office asap so I went there the next week feeling pretty confident. Had 1:1 interviews with two different sales rep managers both of which were very unprofessional. One of the managers didn't even ask questions related to the job I was applying for and barely kept eye contact with me. Very odd interview experience. Said they would call me first thing Monday, didn't hear back for 3 weeks.

Yesterday happened. It sucked. It will continue to suck. It's not quite as bad as the worst game I saw this year in person - Timbers v. Cal FC - but it's pretty damn close.
After a loss like that, there's a lot of venting, then there's gallows humor, then there's resignation. It's a strange process. My question this week is pretty straightforward: how do you as a fan get past a momentous loss like yesterday's? In any sport, really, it doesn't just have to be soccer, but how do you cope with a loss so epic, so unexpected as to throw you completely out of whack?
I'm not talking about the tightly contested, close, well played championship game that could have gone either way but happened to go against your team. I'm talking about games like yesterday, where your team is an undisputed favorite to win by both conventional wisdom and by any sort of analysis, and they somehow still find a way to lose. How do you get over that? Do you compartmentalize and move on? Do you drink heavily? Do you go for a run or other strenuous form of exercise in an attempt to forget?
Anything else on your mind this week? Anything else you'd care to share to distract from yesterday?

September 11 Digital Archive: XML Document
Story:"Union United"
Was it a wake up call? Was it a get your business
together? Many people try to concentrate on what else
might happen in the future or what the president will
say or do next. The issues that were on the news daily
before sept. 11, are coming back very slowly.
Most of those issues have to do with the president
ignoring them. Yesterdays problems are yesterdays
problems and today's problems are tomorrows worries.
According to many people, Sept. 11 was a wake up call.
They said that America is a free country and we have
been taking our privileges for granted for such a long
time. Also that many americans wait for such a tragic
begining to be able to appreciate their country. Other
people understand the meaning of Land of the Free,
which means that hundreds of young men and older men
risked their life's for their family and friends, so
that they wouldnt be prisoners like in some third
world countries. Many other people have clubs,
organizations, and funds to help others understand the
value their country has. When foreigners come to live
in America, they know that they dont have to follow a
day to day routine exactly as their leader. Many of
those foreigners go through a lot just to be free. To
me many Americans are to judge mental on how their
free country is being run. They should always think
twice before they talk bad about America because this
is the country they have lived and given us so man
rights. I personally didnt think it was a wake up,
because my life really didnt change of how I saw
America. I somehow in a way was angry of how many
people out of a sudden started going to church and
started praying.

---- — PLATTSBURGH — A Saranac teen was reportedly injured in a one-car accident Saturday.
Plattsburgh-based State Police said Beth Anne Plumadore, 17, was traveling west on State Route 3 just east of the Goddeau Road in the Town of Plattsburgh at 3:05 p.m., when she swerved to avoid hitting a deer.
After swerving, Plumadore lost control of the vehicle and exited the north shoulder of the roadway, where she struck the end of a guardrail.
The momentum from hitting the guardrail, police said, caused the vehicle to overturn and strike a tree.
Plumadore's vehicle came to rest on its roof against the tree.
A State-Police blotter entry regarding the incident indicated that one person was injured as a result of the accident; however, police were uncertain whether Plumadore was transported to the hospital for treatment.
Had she been transported, police said, it would have been to CVPH Medical Center in Plattsburgh. Hospital officials said Sunday Plumadore was not being treated there.

WINDER -- The Winder Police Department is gearing up for another session of its citizens police academy.
The 18th session of the academy -- which is open to all interested, not just residents of Winder -- is scheduled to begin on March 19. Participants will attend classes every Tuesday for 12 weeks to learn about the department and receive hands-on instruction in topics including traffic stops, building clearing, firearms training, search and seizure, courtroom testimony and crime scene processing.
Anyone interested in attending must submit an application, which can be found at cityofwinder.com or picked up in person at the Winder Police Department. Participants must also submit to a criminal history check and background check in order to be accepted.
Classes will be held each Tuesday from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
For more information, call Officer Chris Wigner at 770-867-2156. The Winder Police Department is located at 94 N. Broad St.

The negatives: The veranda cabins and bathrooms are looking shabby and need some major updating. Makeup/shaving magnifying mirrors are not standard. We had a pipe break that leaked water and a cabinet door come off its hinges. Both were promptly repaired, but the ship is showing its age. The food quality was very uneven and does not match that of Oceania. Some of the main dining room food is excellent, but little is outstanding. The buffet was fine for breakfast and lunch but was less appealing for dinner, with dried out food and lackluster choices. All of the desserts were excellent. We ate at the speciality restaurant, Aquilina one time. The food was very good, but we would prefer not to have to pay the extra charge. Oceania, my comparison experience, does not charge for the specialty restaurants. Being constantly photographed was very annoying and in my opinion, cheesy. It is something Oceania does not do. My biggest complaint is about the laundry room. It is totally inadequate to accommodate all of the passengers on a 17 day cruise. Machines were broken and never repaired. Too much time was spent waiting to use the machines that were operating.
The bottom line: I would cruise on Azamara again only if the itinerary was unique and especially appealing. The future plans to offer free liquor is not an incentive for me, nor is raising the price of the ship excursions or special evening events.

python script to download and unzip file
I have been trying to figure this out for while. I have a remote zip file that contains a .txt file. I need to download and parse some of the data.
Which is another question. When I get the .txt file is it possible to parse the data out of it? it is organized in columns, I basically need to eliminate some of the columns.
I know this post is ambiguous, but any help would be appreciated.
Thanks for any help.

Lee Ann Miller is taking us with her to Der Dutchman in Walnut Creek. The special treat, Peanut Butter Cream pie!
February 18, 2013
Vanilla Pudding for Filling:
1/4 cup melted butter
1 quart milk
1 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 oz cornstarch
1 tsp salt
1 tsp vanilla
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
You will also need one baked pie shell and 2 cups whipped topping
Preparing the cooked pudding for pie filling:
Beat eggs in small bowl. Set aside.
In large heavy saucepan, melt butter over low heat. Add 1 quart milk and 1 cup white sugar. Heat over low heat until steaming but not bubbling. Remove 1 cup hot milk mixture and pour into beaten eggs. Add the corn starch to the hot milk and egg mixture, a little at a time and stirring as you add the starch. When the starch is completely dissolved, pour the egg, starch, and milk mixture back into the saucepan with the rest of the milk, butter, and sugar.
Cook on low heat, stirring constantly, until pudding consistency. The mixture should bubble as you cook it, but do not cook at a rolling boil. When thickened, remove from heat and stir in vanilla.
Pour into bowl, cover with plastic wrap (so that a skin does not develop on top as it cools). Refrigerate to cool completely.
You can mix this with your hands or in a food processor or cut the peanut butter into the powdered sugar with a knife or wooden spoon. Whichever way you choose, work the two together until you have crumbs.
When pudding /pie filling is completely chilled you can assemble the pie.
1) Place the crumbs in the bottom of the baked pie crust, reserving a small amount for garnish on top.
2) Stir the chilled pudding/pie filling to make sure it is smooth and creamy. Pour over crumbs in pie crust.
3) Top with whipped topping
4) sprinkle reserved crumbs on top of whipped topping
The peanut butter flavor will be more prominent if you chill the pie for at least an hour but you can eat it immediately if you just can't wait.

EAST PEORIA, Ill.--THE IHSA girls' softball championships are being held at the Eastside Centre this weekend.
And although there are storms in this weekends forecast, the sports centre may be the safest place to play ball.
The Eastside Centre is home to a state of the art lightening detector.
It works by measuring the atmosphere, and when the conditions are right to produce lightning, an alarm goes off.
When the alarm sounds, players and fans have to leave the field and wait for the all-clear.
Once the all-clear is given, everyone can return to the field, but must wait another half hour before play can resume, a rule put in place by the IHSA.
While we were there on Friday, players and fans were just coming back from one of those delays.
Eastside Centre director Dan Cunningham says sometimes people are not too happy to leave the field... But it's all about playing it safe. He said, "It's a lifesaver for us because number one it gets people out of harms way but number two is it lets us know when it's safe to bring them back and we can get the games going in a safe manner."
IHSA officials say the goal is to get both 1A and 2A championships finished by Saturday night, but if the rough weather continues they may have to finish up on Sunday.
The system has been at the Eastside Centre for 12 years and Cunningham says it has literally been a life saver.

UWM WiFi Pilot Project
Information contained on this website may not be current. Please visit the UWM WiFi website at UWMWiFi.uwm.edu. Thank you.
UWM WiFi Pilot Project Results
The UWM WiFi pilot project provided the campus community with a new wireless environment in the Union and Golda Meir Library, with major improvements to the reliability, security and administrative interface of the campus wireless service. The pilot began July 5, 2011 and concluded on January 4, 2012.
There were four service access options:
ePantherID/password authenticated access: Preferred access for UWM faculty, staff and students; device setup was required
Public access: Unsecure, limited bandwidth provided in renewable on-hour blocks; not recommended for faculty, staff or student University business
Sponsored guest access: Full-service wireless access via faculty/staff sponsorship
eduroam access: Wireless access at participating eduroam institutions worldwide; device setup required
Design of the service allowed for the ability to maintain the service even if there were major outages of the campus network infrastructure. Security of the wireless service and the services supported by wireless were greatly improved. In addition, improvements to the administrative interface allowed for efficient and effective support by technical staff across the entire enterprise.
During the six-month pilot, feedback was solicited from faculty, staff, students and the public. Customer satisfaction, service manageability and service viability were evaluated for consideration of potential deployment campus-wide, pending appropriate resources.

AIC Motorcycle Parking
The following Allstaters support the cause for creating officially designated motorcycle parking in the South Plaza southwest G lot located by the revolving keycard access doors. For many years, Allstaters with motorcycles have been parking courteously in this area without any issues but recently the security guards have been issuing parking tickets. This has motivated Allstate motorcyclists to lobby to get this area officially designated as motorcycle parking. Please help our cause. Even if you do not own a motorcycle your support is greatly appreciated. Thank you!

The Trials of Muhammad AliChristopher B. Smith Rafael Film Center (1118 4th St, San Rafael, CA) Map it Free
No conventional sports documentary, The Trials of Muhammad Ali investigates its extraordinary and often complex subject's life outside the boxing ring. From joining the controversial Nation of Islam and changing his name from Cassius Clay to Muhammad Ali, to his refusal to serve in the Vietnam War in the name of protesting racial inequality, to his global humanitarian work, Muhammad Ali remains an inspiring and controversial figure. Outspoken and passionate in his beliefs, Ali found himself in the center of America's controversies over race, religion, and war. From Kartemquin Films - The Trials of Muhammad Ali examines how one of the most celebrated sports champions of the 20th century risked his fame and fortune to follow his faith and conscience.- http://thetrialsofali.com

Anderson Silva:
Best Fighter on the planet.
Looked like they got Batista's opponent from a mens' slow-pitch softball league.
Click HERE to take the Polack test.
Look, my sig says "fuck" in it.
"brass body" hahahah
Batista is legit... that guy he beat up was over 300 pounds(so he must be tough.)
Id like to see Batista take on Kimbo next.
I'm sure Dana will rule it out after he sees the fight lol. i didnt think he looked impressive at all. nothing against Batista good on him for giving it a go and he proved me wrong, i thought he'd lose
Favourites- Fedor, Randy, the Nogs, Bas, Hunt, Igor Vovchanchyn, Lesnar, Chael, Jennum, Matt Brown, Taktarov, Pat Barry, Bam Bam Dewees, Hamill, Renzo, Cro Cop, Te Huna, Maia, Lawler, Mousasi
Terrible defense, sloppy punches (no fancy Kali hands), good kicks, good ground control. nothing impressive but it's his 1st fight. I thought his opponent landed two good shots and it was good to see him get hit and deal with it.
At his age if he wants to test himself he needs to grab a higher quality opponent. The first fight is out of the way now sink or swim.
I want to see him fight Mercer or Esch.
They are 2 guys that would end any talk of Batista doing anything in MMA.
Fuck even Sapp works I bet The Beast looks like a beast against Batista.

Informaton About Drew Radovich
49er fan here and I come in peace looking for some information.
It's no big secret that our O-Line was about one of the worst in the league last year giving up the second most sacks.
Unfortunately we did not address the problem they way I would have liked us to by picking up Michael Oher in the draft, instead we picked up Crabtree and we all know how that's working so far.
Anyway, we have done a few things to strengthen our O-Line and the last piece of the puzzle is we picked up Drew Radovich from you guys and placed him on our PS, apparently until he heals from a shoulder injury.
I have not been able to find out to much about him other than he was the back-up LT behind Bryant McKinney for you guys in 08 until he got injured, so I was wondering what can you tell me about him.
He will again be a back-up when he comes off PS and hopefully that means we can dump Barry Sims. I was just wondering.
1. How does he grade out as a backup tackle?
2. Durability,
3. Pass blocking,
4. run blocking,
5. heart, etc.
Appreciate any information you can give me, and good luck to you guys this year, wish you the best except on September 27th.
Re: Informaton About Drew Radovich
He seemed to be a decent project coming from USC
Im not really sure why we didn't keep him around
But I think he should be a solid back up for u guys.. I don't know alot about him
Re: Looking For Information
I have stats on him somewhere in my files, can't seem to locate them.
Good luck in patching things up, I would be worried with Martz as the o-coordinator.
He is to the o-coordinators as chuckie is to HCs.
Someone else did the work and he took the credit.
Both are way overrated.
Nolan may help shore things up, but, you are screwed as long as Martz is the o-coordinator (btw, we'll give you Bevell for a case of flavoried pringles).Get your facts first, and then you can distort them as much as you please. Mark Twain
Re: Informaton About Drew Radovich
He is a good kid with lots of potential, unfortunately, he never seemed to bloom.
He was injured and not sure he ever really bounced back.
He has good size (6 ft 5 in, 305 lbs) with average reach.
He had flashes but then would "rookie" up a play (getting too high, slow footwork) and get beat every now and then.
The staff seemed to like him and kept him around until we got Loadholt.
The difference was not even close so bye-bye drew.
With good coaching and a true opportunity I think he could start on some teams.
He will probably never be a pro bowler, but then again that can be said for a lot of other tackles in the NFL.

Re: Looking For Information
Well, it took us awhile to figure out that Nolan wasn't worth his pay check so he is now the DC with Denver, and Mike Singeltary is our new HC, and after 1 year as our OC Martz is now in the ranks of the unemployed and Jimmy Raey is our new OC.
However that leaves us trying to repair what they screwed up that's why I'm trying to dig up some information on Radovich.
Re: Looking For Information
He's got a lot of talent and is good at getting to the 2nd level when blocking but he really seems to struggle against faster ends (JARED ALLEN).
Personally I think he would be much better as a guard is a zone blocking scheme."There are 3 things that sell in America:
Violence, sex, and drugs.
The only way you are going to make this game more appealing to the public than it was before is if there are on field orgies at halftime and the domes become massive opium dens."

Pharrell is part of Robin Thicke's battle with Marvin Gaye's estate over the hit "Blurred Lines," but he wants everyone to know that doesn't change how he feels about the late soul legend. Last night (Thursday) on the red carpet at Calvin Klein's New York Fashion Week show, Skateboard P said, "I'm a huge fan of Marvin Gaye. He is a genius. He is the patriarch."
But despite his admiration, Pharrell is adamant that he and Thicke didn't steal any elements of Gaye's hit "Got to Give It Up." "If you read music, all you have to do is read the sheet music. It's completely different... Anybody that plays music and reads music, just simply go to the piano and play the two. One's minor and one's major. And not even in the same key."

Funding opportunities
A biophotonic laser-assisted cell surgery tool (BLAST)
Funding Type:
Tools and Technologies I
Grant Number:
Funds requested:
$878 514
Funding Recommendations:
Not recommended
Grant approved:
Public Abstract:
Human embryonic stem cells hold great potential for treating multiple human diseases, including cancer. However, our knowledge of the precise patterns of gene expression in stem cells is limited by very low efficiency techniques for introducing reporters into the gene(s) being investigated. Such knowledge can inform us of the state of differentiation of the cell being examined and also how these cells function in comparison to other cells in our bodies. Cancer may have an origin in cells with stem cell-like properties or even in stem cells themselves. For prostate cancer, although we have isolated a precise cancer-promoting genetic event, we cannot yet generate accurate models for study because of our inability to efficiently transfer large- sized DNAs into lineage-specific stem/precursor cells, such as prostate stem cells. In this proposal we provide a new technology for generating stem cells to study changes in gene expression during development and for generating accurate molecular models of human disease, such as prostate cancer. For over 2 years, we have been developing a radically new approach for transferring nuclei and large DNAs into stem/precursor cells. Our innovative device is called BLAST (Biophotonic Laser-Assisted cell Surgery Tool) and consists of metallic nanoparticles attached to the tip of a micropipette that is used to deliver materials into cells. This pipette is placed a close, fixed distance from a stem cell membrane by a robotic controller on a microscope stage. A pulse of non-damaging laser light rapidly heats the nanoparticles so that they generate precise local membrane holes for gene delivery (and in the future nuclear transfer). For soft/fragile stem cells, conventional microinjection is lethal due to excess trauma from piercing the pipette through the cell membrane, and an electrical-based method (electroporation) is very low efficiency for large DNAs. BLAST addresses 4 stated objectives from the CIRM as a tool for (1) more effective non-viral gene transduction, (2) a method for developing accurate reporter genes, (3) a potential approach for higher efficiency gene targeting, and (4) a potential method for tracking stem cells and their derivatives. We have assembled a team of recognized experts in optics and electronics, cancer, stem cell biology, and cell reprogramming to lead this effort. In proof-of-principle studies, BLAST successfully introduced DNA into 3 cell types with a survival rate of ~40-50%. In 3 Specific Aims we will further develop BLAST, generate stem cell gene-reporter lines, and introduce a large prostate cancer-specific genetic alteration. OUR PROJECT GOAL is to generate stable, genetically modified stem cells and lineage-specific stem/precursor cells containing large DNAs to study gene regulation and generate more accurate molecular models of human disease, such as prostate cancer.
Statement of Benefit to California:
Our proposal will benefit California by providing a new approach for inserting large DNAs into stem cells, which will allow precise interrogation of patterns of gene expression and the development of more accurate models of human disease. This work will support the California peoples' and taxpayers' commitments to individualized medical treatments of the near future through enhanced knowledge of appropriate targets for therapy and new insights into pathogenetic mechanisms of disease. Our work could also be applied to somatic cell nuclear transfer (SCNT) at a later stage of development, to further accelerate the push to personalized medical treatments for Californians and for the nation. Our approach will provide information to many of California's biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies in the burgeoning stem cell industry, whose success will propel hiring and increased economic prosperity for the state. Our work will provide additional information to patient advocates, ethicists, and even (eventually) medical geneticists to help select the optimal course for developing and modifying stem cell usage policies and infrastructure within California. In sum, the added knowledge provided by enhancing our capabilities in constructing accurate molecular models of human disease and detailed interrogations of gene expression patterns will have tangible health and economic impact on California, its academic institutions and biotechnology/pharmaceutical companies, and the rest of the nation as California and its people move forward with personalized medicine during the 21st century.
Review Summary:
The goal of this proposal is to develop a new tool for the genetic engineering of human embryonic stem cells (hESC). The approach employs a novel laser-mediated technique to deliver large DNA fragments or bacterial artificial chromosomes (BACs) into cells. The technique employs laser pulses to induce localized holes in the plasma membrane that facilitate the transport of DNA fragments from outside the cell. The applicant proposes to perfect the technology and use it to generate stable, genetically-modified hESC. Reviewers agreed that the potential impact of the proposed work is high, since gene transfer methodologies that deliver large DNA molecules into cells could overcome a major hurdle in the stable transfection of hESC. Applications of the technique include the creation of induced pluripotent stem cells and engineering hESC with various disease traits. This method could significantly advance the field. Reviewers had serious concerns about the feasibility of the proposed approach. Preliminary data supporting the feasibility are limited, and no data on application of the technique to stem cells were presented. A proof-of-principle experiment employed an established cell line that is highly amenable to transfection, and the results may not be applicable to hESC. Justification for the cell types chosen for the proposed study was lacking and information comparing the new technique with other non-needle DNA delivery methods was not included. In addition, there was insufficient information about the number of cells that can be handled or rate at which they can be transduced with the technology. Finally, it was noted that the goal of delivering large DNA molecules seem to contradict the premise of this proposal to create smaller holes (submicron) since the DNA radius will be larger than a micron. The PI has expertise in cancer biology and is one of the inventors of the novel technology that is the focus of the proposal. The research team appears well qualified and has a good record of interaction. Reviewers were concerned that the PI is already heavily committed on a number of other research projects. Overall, reviewers felt the potential impact of the proposal is high but were unconvinced of the unique abilities of this technology to impact stem cells.

ZombiU is Resident Evil mixed with Dark Souls… for better or worse
- Wii U
ZombiU is going to be a polarizing game. It feels like the original Resident Evil played in the first person, mixed with a good amount of Dark Souls. When you die, and you will die often, it will be crushing. Each "life" in the game is a person, so when they die the next survivor has to find their zombified corpse, kill it, and loot the bag for the items you've collected. You will be put in situations where survival is nearly impossible, but those situations are often of your own doing.
Every time I died I asked myself questions. Why did you think you could take on three zombies in an enclosed space? Why didn't you make sure you had the exits memorized before you began combat? Did you make sure you had area denial weapons and distractions in your holsters at all times? You don't need to barrel right back into the mission after death, you can spend time in the other environments picking up extra weapons, items, and supplies. The slower you take you the game, and the more you think about every move, the higher your chances of success.
You'll still die, of course, but you'll learn more between those deaths.
The GamePad
ZombiU puts you under the care of a disembodied voice who can watch your actions and give you some guidance. This man brings survivors back to his safe house in order to give them missions, instructions, and goals. He'll help you out of tight spots and feed you information. It's disturbing to think how many people he sends to their death only to shrug and start over with the next.
The GamePad is more or less an item in the game's world, which is a neat trick. It shows you your current map, allows you to adjust your inventory, and there is even a motion tracker you can hit that shows movement in your area. Talented players will learn to hit the motion tracker button with their thumb while playing and listening for the telltale sound of movement without even looking down. It's very reminiscent of the motion tracker from Aliens: are those red, moving objections on the controller's screen rats, pigeons, or zombies? The only thing you'll know for sure is to be careful in areas where there is movement.
You can scan the environment by looking down at the GamePad and examining puzzles and clues, but keep in mind zombies are able to sneak up behind you. You'll also need to look at the GamePad while looting things like briefcases and corpses.You're putting yourself at risk every time you're not looking at the screen, but you also need to be constantly searching for upgrades, ammunition, and information. You'll never feel safe.
There are different types of weapons to find and use, and as you kill zombies you'll gain levels in each one. Kill four zombies with the handgun, and you'll become more proficient in its use. If you die, you lose those levels. The longer you stay alive, the more your death will hurt.
You learn the name and profession of each character and that's it. There is also a scoring mechanism that tells you how well you performed in each life, and that information is shared online so you can brag or be embarrassed by your friends. There is a mechanism that allows the game to populate your world with the zombified versions of your dead friends so you can loot them after taking them down, and you'll be able to leave helpful or misleading messages for others in the game as well, but I haven't been able to try the social features.
Wait, how do I know this?
The idea that each "life" is actually another survivor lured back into that safe room and sent out on missions is great, but the game stumbles in its execution. How does the next survivor know what they're supposed to be doing? Why do characters act like they've met me before? It would only take a few lines of dialog to explain what's going on to the next person, but the game assumes you have all that information already. It's almost like they're talking to you, the player, and the not the character. In the game's world you're the only thing that's truly persistent, and that's an odd feeling.
The game's graphics aren't as sharp or detailed as late-era 360 or PS3 games, but the clever uses of lighting, filters, and darkness make up for it. This is a dark, atmospheric game that takes place in a London that always hostile to the survivors, and the game is effective at keeping you unsettled and fearful. While the "scientific" zombie, complete with a viral genesis and carefully constructed rules, may be popular in modern pop culture, the world of ZombiU seems to be filled with black magic and religious fear.
I'm not anywhere near the end of the game, at least I don't think so, but I've spent more hours than I'm comfortable disclosing simply walking around and trying to get the best mixture of supplies before moving forward. Don't think of this as an authoritative review as much as a hearty endorsement of the experience I've had so far: I wanted to wait and play it with all the fun online features.
This is what I've learned: You need to be sure to set aside a good chunk of time for each session, since it can be tricky to find your way back to a safe house when you'd like to log off. You'll need to make sure you understand how to safely kill zombies with your stock weapons, as advanced or upgraded weapons will sometimes be unavailable. Your hand gun and cricket bat will see an extensive amount of use, but even a large number of zombies can be controlled if you understand how they move, where they stumble, and when to turn and run.
ZombiU succeeds in pulling off the neat trick of making you feel more vulnerable as you become more powerful. Once you start gaining weapons proficiencies, get a collection of items, and really make a dent into your current mission you'll begin to realize that you have something to lose. The more you have in your pack, the more tense combat becomes. There is no way to save and reload your game to avoid a death: you can save your game by sleeping at safe houses, but the game also autosaves after you die. There is no way to go back and "do it better." When you die, you are dead. The next character now has to find your bag and learn from your mistakes.
This isn't for everyone, and I can see why people may be turned off by the unforgiving nature of the game. You need to plan your moves, act slowly and methodically, and in some cases scavenge weapons and supplies before going after the bag on your last character. If you try to rush your progress you will die. If you try to finish an objective without supplies you will often die. If you do everything right and make a single bad move you may still die. The rush comes in keeping a character alive for hours, and then realizing how much you have to lose by their death.
There is a multiplayer game where one player watches the screen in first-person view while the other places zombies to attack them with the GamePad, and there is also a fun toy that maps zombie makeup on your face using the GamePad's front-facing camera. These are fun distractions, but they're just icing on the campaign's bloody, frustratingly wicked campaign.
