News: Game Pulls The Plug On Social Networking, "I Deleted My Twitter"
Thursday, Sep 29, 2011 8:32AM
West Coast rapper Game appears to be done with social networking as his Twitter page has diminished with a single message saying he deleted it.
No longer having thousands of followers, Game's page is now blank.
"I deleted my twitter. (holla when you see me) #2pacBack," a single tweet reads, posted September 28th. (Game's Twitter)
In August, Game made headlines after a friend allegedly used his Twitter to post a local police department number.
Game tells TMZ he never authored the tweet in question. Game says he was in the middle of a photo shoot Friday night when a childhood friend of his -- whose Twitter handle is @wackstar -- began going to town on The Game's phone ... typing in five phone numbers and calling people to action. The Game insists his friend had no idea one of the numbers went to the Sheriff's Department. The Sheriffs claim that once their office was flooded with phonecalls they asked The Game to call people off -- but Game says he never received the message. As he put it, "They don't have my number and I'm not following the police." (TMZ)
In March, Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne delved into his issues with Twitter after fighting through hacks.
"I just shut my Twitter account down because it got hacked," Wayne revealed in an interview with Paris Hilton for Interview Magazine. "Once it got hacked I had Twitter fix it. They changed it. And then it got hacked again so I just shut it down. As of right now, I'm on Twitter strike." (Interview Magazine)
Recently, Slaughterhouse's Royce Da 5'9 talked to SOHH about his love for Twitter.
"I have a lotta fun f*ckin' with people on Twitter. It's a good vehicle to show a part of your personality that might not come across in your music. Being that accessible to fans -- I hate callin' them fans -- but being that accesible to people keeps people from treating you like some kind of science project." (SOHH)

Eagles DT Mike Patterson collapsed during a lineman drill Wednesday morning at the team's practice at Lehigh University and went into convulsions.
He was immediately attended to by trainers and team staff and an ambulance arrived on the scene. He was hooked up to an IV and loaded into the ambulance on a stretcher. He appeared to have movement in his arms and legs. He was taken to Lehigh Valley Hospital. Dehydration is believed to be the cause of the incident.
Patterson was alert, stable and joking at the hospital after suffering the seizure, according to Eagles trainer Rick Burkholder. The Eagles' official website reported via Twitter that Patterson sent a text message that read, "I'm cool" to assistant trainer Chris Peduzzi.
He underwent tests to determine why he had a seizure at the hospital Wednesday.
The 6-1, 300-pound USC product is entering his seventh season with the Eagles. He had 37 tackles and two sacks in 15 games last season, with 14 starts.

Home invaders apparently got the wrong address when they forced their way into a northwest Atlanta home early Monday morning, tied up the man who lives there and robbed the place, according to Atlanta police.
The victim called 911 at about 2:40 a.m. He said four or five men - at least one of them armed with a handgun - had ransacked his home on Whitaker Circle, just off Joseph E. Boone Boulevard.
He told police that the day before the incident, a man driving a dark-colored Lincoln Navigator came to the house and asked if certain people still lived at the home. The resident told the man that he had just moved to the home and that he did not know the person, police said.
The victim told police a similar thing happened several hours before the home invasion. He said this time, four men in a Honda Accord came by the house requesting the same information.
At approximately 1:50 a.m. Monday, the victim answered a knock at the door, police said. He told detectives that when he cracked open the door, a man with a pistol forced his way into the house and forced the victim to the floor. Another man entered, police said, and placed a hoodie over the victim's face and tied him up with shoe laces and speaker wire.
At some point, police said, several other men entered the house. They asked the victim where the drugs and weapons were, threatening to kill him if he didn't tell them, police said.
Neighbor Eugene Johnson told CBS Atlanta News that he heard some unusual sounds coming from the home overnight.
"I just heard somebody hollering at each other or something like that, like they was arguing or hollering," he said.
Johnson said he looked out the window, but didn't see anything unusual, so he went back to bed. Then a few minutes later, he heard more yelling.
"I looked out the window. It was a van over there," he said. "But I didn't see anyone."
Johnson said he did not call police.
Police said the group got away with two flat-screen televisions and a computer. Officers have not released any information on possible suspects.

Chazy earns record-tieing 6th title
MIDDLETOWN — Chazy boys' soccer coach Rob McAuliffe didn't bring up the topic, preferring to emphasize what his players have been able to accomplish.
But when the Eagles, led by Josh Barriere's three goals, captured the NYSPHSAA Class D championship with a 4-0 victory over Section II's Fort Ann on Sunday at Middletown High School's Faller Stadium Turf Field, it put McAuliffe and the Chazy program in select company.
It marked the sixth Class D title for the Eagles under McAuliffe's direction and tied him for first all-time in the state in boys' soccer with Pittsford-Mendon's Joe Borrosh and Shenendehowa's Mike Campisi.
"It's nice," said McAuliffe. "We're all proud of our program at Chazy and players take a lot of pride in it.
"It started in the 1960's and coaches like George Brendler and Tom Tregan helped to build it to where is is now. It's great for all our players and alumni."
The top-ranked Eagles closed out a sensational season in which they outscored their opponents 127-9 to finish the year with a 21-0-1 record.
"I know people will say our 2005 team was the best ever at Chazy," said McAuliffe. "But this year's team can be mentioned the same way."
"It's one of the best feelings I've ever had," said senior Nathan Reynolds. "I didn't want to finish the season and my career on a losing note.
"We got on it early and were able to finish our chances today. We had a tough game the day before (a 1-0 win over Poland on Saturday) and Fort Ann is an athletic team, all around. We did the job."
The Eagles grabbed the lead at 25:05 of the first half. Nelson Pelton sent a corner kick in front where Barriere got a piece of it and Reynolds headed the ball into the net.
Then shortly after, at 28:35, Craig Botten sent a free kick toward the net from the side and Barriere eventually scored from close range to give Chazy a 2-0 halftime lead.
The Eagles made it 3-0 with 13:13 gone in the second half. David Poitras got the ball to Barriere, who sent a rocket just under the crossbar.
"Fort Ann put some pressure on us even though we were up, 2-0, at the half," said McAuliffe. "Getting the first goal was crucial for us, but when we got the third one, we started to play more controlled and possessed the ball more."
Barriere, a sophomore, finished off his three-goal performance at 29:22. Pelton's corner kick went over the head of Fort Ann keeper Jonah Gould and Barriere was there to head the ball into the net.
"I wasn't expecting to score three goals today," said Barriere. "The first one was off a scramble. On the second one, the ball was rolling just right and I cracked it on net.
"It's an awesome feeling to win. I'm especially happy for the seniors. We came out and played hard."
"That's what's great about our team," said McAuliffe. "Brandon (Laurin) has scored a lot of goals for us this year. But we have other players who can step up and Josh (Barriere) did today."
The Eagles finished with a 17-3 advantage in shots over the Cardinals (17-4-1). Kyle Bisonette was again steady in the Chazy nets, stopping three shots and taking care of everything else that came his way.
"Fort Ann was able to outplay us at times but we held tough in the back," said McAuliffe. "Once we got our game down and started to hold possession more, we were able to create more chances."
Jonah Gould played the majority of the game in the net for the Cardinals and made 12 saves. George Lehoisky played a strong game offensively for Fort Ann, which recorded a 2-0 victory over Jasper-Troupsburg the day before.
In postseason play, the Eagles held a combined 37-2 scoring advantage over their opponents, including a 5-0 edge at the Final Four.
Chazy 4, Fort Ann 0
Fort Ann 0 0 — 0
Chazy 2 2 — 4
First half - 1, C, Reynolds (Barriere), 25:05. 2, C, Barriere (Botten), 28:35.
Second half - 3, C, Barriere (Poitras), 13:13. 4, C, Barriere (Pelton), 29:22.
Shots: Chazy 17, Fort Ann 3.
Saves: Bisonette, C, 3. Gould (12), Allen (1), FA, 13.

Sorry... this is going to be a bit of a rant.
If you are in a gym and train around others, you should learn to spot correctly!
If the person requesting a spot tells you not to touch the bar unless he calls for it. DO NOT TOUCH THE BAR UNTIL HE CALLS FOR IT OR IS FAILING.
I had my bench workout today ruined because some trigger happy, spotting-newb would not keep his hands off the bar while i was benching. Completely ruined my rep cadence and tension.
Furthermore, while spotting for the bench press, its usually best to use a mixed grip. If the person under the bar completely fails, the mixed grip will allow you to hold on to the most amount of weight. Plus it allows for a stronger grip.
I concur. I had a spotter once who seemed like he was doing the lift and I was spotting him by the way he lifted the bar on every rep. WTF?
Now I lift by myself inside the power rack. I own that rack and I'll fight if anyone comes near it (I don't have any serious lifters near me, only people "exercising".)

This one falls under personal responsibility. You don't want a ****ty spotter, learn to pick one out better. None available, bench in a rack. You are responsible for your lifting and how it goes. No one else. No sympathy from me on this one. Gym goers aren't there to be spotters for you.
AtLarge Nutrition Supplements Get the best supplements and help support Wannabebig!
Just get under the bar!
Ya I hate when I tell someone not to touch the bar but as soon as it starts coming up really slow, he jumps in and then in my head I go, "great! I only did 8 reps instead of 10!"
Almost just as bad are spotters who don't pay attention. I recently had a guy spot me and when I got to failure I didn't get any help for a good 4-5 seconds while the guy scrolled through songs on his iPod. Thanks bro.
"There are more instances of the abridgment of the freedom of the people by gradual and silent encroachments of those in power than by violent and sudden usurpations." --James Madison, speech to the Virginia Ratifying Convention, 1788
I told him that I am going for 3 reps and I should be fine. That I needed a lift off and not to touch it unless I call for it or obviously failing. The moment the bar left my chest/changed directions I couldn't feel any tension or feedback about how hard I was pushing due to his overzealous spotting.
I immediately racked it and said "WTF, I told you not to touch it. You screwed up my rhythm. " His reply was that he was scared I wasn't going to get it back up.
Last edited by Raleighwood; 09-03-2010 at 07:46 PM.
what gets me is when the spotter is so nervous and fearful, that too can make a spotter rush in to assist too quickly.
when needed i will always say "dont touch the bar unless i call for it" verbatim
its never been an issue once
Happened to me on more than a few occasions.
I was at the school gym the other day.
I had a good spotter the first time. Repped out 265 x 4 and tried for the last one, which he helped a bit on. The second spotter, I did the same thing, only he forced me to do 8 reps, even though I died at 5. The last rep was almost dropped on my face.
That's why I like those machines that have the bar on rails. Just lift the bar, unhook it from the notches, and go until you can't anymore. There's never a danger of anything but having to reset the bar. It's too bad they take away all the balance factor from each rep but at least you can power lift in peace...

Just two days ago I was on the other side of this though, and felt really ****ty about it. I spotted a guy on incline with 335 on the bar who was repping it. He had 4 or 5 pretty solid and my hands were near the bar but not on it. Suddenly halfway up he went from cranking them to a dead stop, I kind of freaked jumped on it and probably gave him too much help. I can't really be blamed though because I had no clue he was going to fail in that manner. To get a good spot I think you really have to have somewhat of a repoir with your spotter so they know where you're going to be slow and how much to assist you with it at which point.

Anyway, this guy's like "hey bro, you gimme a spot??" So I get up on the platform and he does a couple of good ones and then starts to slow down....then stop....and I don't remember if he told me to take it or if it was just obvious, but I helped him back up to the starting position and he grunts....."THREE MORE...." ROTFL
Needless to say, my friggin' fists were closed around the bar and I feel like I'm lifting 2/3's of the **** myself.
F'g kidding me...
That just deserved a good rant

Make no mistake. This is a make-or-break game for both teams in this week's matchup between the Miami Dolphins and the New York Jets. The winner will be one step closer in their quest to make the playoffs, while the loser will begin to see their dreams slowly evaporate.
At the beginning of the season the Miami Dolphins had plans to gatecrash the playoff party, while the New York Jets were expected to only scramble a couple of wins in a blow-out season. Now we find both teams at 5-6, and each one hoping to end the other's offseason plans. But which team will end up in tears?
The main concern for the Dolphins in this game will be New York's defensive front. They will be a tough matchup for Miami's leaky offensive line. Ryan Tannehill has been sacked more than any other quarterback in the NFL this season, having been taken down 44 times. That number may only increase if Muhammad Wilkerson and Sheldon Richardson cause havoc up the middle. And don't forget Quinton Coples. He's New York's most athletic defensive end. Lets hope he doesn't take advantage of our poor offensive tackle play from Bryant McKinnie and Tyson Clabo. If the Jets overpower Miami in the trenches, Ryan Tannehill and the Dolphins will be in trouble.
Having said that Miami should have enough firepower to get over the line. Despite the loss last week to the Carolina Panthers, Tannehill looks like he's finally connected with star wide receiver Mike Wallace. Mike Wallace has speed to burn, and will rip apart New York's defense if Tannehill can get him the football. When Brian Hartline and up-and-coming players Charles Clay and Rischard Matthews are added to the party, Miami has the potential to do some serious damage through the air.
On the flipside of the coin, the Jets have struggled on offense. Many forget that Geno Smith has been sacked the second most in the league with 37, providing an opening for Cameron Wake and co. to get to the quarterback. But even better news for the Dolphins is Smith's performance during the last 6 games - 1 touchdown pass and 10 interceptions. Let that thought settle in your mind.
Final Predictions
The battle in the trenches may just turn out to be the key to which team wins this ballgame. Somehow Miami's patchwork offensive line has managed to keep Tannehill upright over the past few games. With the loss of Richie Incognito and Jonathan Martin, things could have been much worse. On the other side of the football, I just can't see Geno Smith having much success against our defense. For this reason Miami may just sneak over the line and claim victory over their arch- rivals.
Final Score
Miami Dolphins 20-10 New York Jets.

Milkman rescues pensioner after 24 hours collapsed on her floor
9:00am Friday 15th February 2013 in News By Emma Dunn, @EmmaDunnn
THEY may not be famed for their life-saving skills, but milkman Pete Edmondson is being hailed a hero by one of his loyal customers.
Peggy Thomas, 91, who has diabetes, had spent nearly 24 hours on the floor after her legs gave way at the bottom of the stairs on Friday, February 1.
Pete has a cup of tea with Peggy every Saturday when he delivers her milk and knew something was wrong when he knocked on her window.
Peggy, a retired state enrolled nurse of Stratton, said: "He saved my life. If I had been here for another 24 hours without medication, food or fluids I wouldn't be here today.
"I had been putting a mop bucket in the bathroom on Friday morning because there was a leak. I came down on my chairlift afterwards at about 11am and I couldn't walk. My legs just gave way.
"I tried to grab the table and pull myself up but I couldn't. My floor is slippery and my feet were going. I just couldn't get up. I'm diabetic so I was having hypos too."
The great-grandmother-of-one remained on the floor all day and night until she heard a knocking on her window at about 7.45am.
"It was him bashing on my window and he realised something was wrong because I'm usually up in the morning to let him in and put the kettle on for him to make a cup of tea," she said. "He managed to get in the house and he picked me up off the floor. He squeezed me around the neck and shoulders.
"Pete made me a drink and got me some bread and butter. Then he got my medicine box off the side for me.
"He called Homeline for me and he wouldn't leave me. I said 'go on go, you need to do your job'. I was worried about other people getting their milk on time. He said 'I'm not going, I'm seeing you right'. He stayed until the woman from Homeline came."
Pete, 49, of Liden, who works for Dairy Crest, which runs online service milk&more, has been a milkman for 24 years and has been delivering to Peggy for about a year and a half.
"She is always up in the mornings so as soon as there wasn't an answer I knew something was wrong. I knew I had to get in and the only way in was to break in, " said Pete.
"The room was in a complete mess from where she was trying to get up and the chair was across the door.
"I deliver milk for Peggy three times a week but I only come in for a cup of tea on a Saturday so it was lucky it happened then.
"She says I'm a hero but I don't feel like one. You just do what you have to do."

Makeup, Tom Pecheux for Estée Lauder
Hair, Orlando Pita for T3 and Phyto
Nails, Jin Soon Choi for Estée Lauder
MAKEUP: Designer Derek Lam's spring show was inspired by the cool minimalist lines and airy, light-filled structures favored by the modernist architect Richard Neutra. "Huge windows with the light shining in, California ease and wealth," said makeup artist Tom Pecheux. "We wanted the face to follow." That meant sun-kissed skin, warm golden lids, and a touch of sheer lemon yellow gloss on the lips.
HAIR: Swishing down the back of a citron-colored silk viscose day dress or coral-and-orange kaleidoscope print blouse, hairstylist Orlando Pita's sleek, low, side-parted ponytails added a slightly boyish edge to the look.
NAILS: "Isn't it lovely?" said manicurist Jin Soon Choi of the sheer golden nude she painted on models' hands and feet.
SKIN: After smoothing on a dab of Estée Lauder Idealist serum to create a perfectly even canvas, Pecheux blended DoubleWear Light foundation over skin. "It gives a silky finish," he said, before swirling a healthy dose of their new Pure Color Illuminating Gelée Powder bronzer (available January 2012) over the cheeks.
EYES: "I love a strong woman," said Pecheux, who used a pencil to fill in full, structured brows. As the finishing touch to Lam's California golden girl, he dipped into a sunshine-inspired shade of yellow gold shadow (also new for spring) and swept it over the lids.
LIPS: Estée Lauder's forthcoming Citron Kiss gloss.
HAIR: If Pita's ponytails looked simple, they proved deceivingly so. He blew hair straight with T3's Featherweight Luxe dryer (using ample amounts of Phytovolume Actif Mousse as a base), and then smoothed the ends with Phyto 7 Daily Hydrating Botanical Cream. Next, he went over hair with T3's Single Pass flat-iron, and added a blast of Phyto Workable Holding Spray before securing ponytails with a slim elastic band. A dab of Phyto Shine Defying Wax gave the requisite glassy runway finish.
NAILS: Estée Lauder nail polish in Nude Attitude may be destined to become a new cult classic: The color, said Choi, is only available overseas.

Palm Treo Pro: A sweet Windows smartphone
Review: If you're partial to Windows Mobile, you'd be hard-pressed to do better than the new Treo Pro from PalmFollow @infoworld
The BlackBerry, iPhone, and T-Mobile G1 may be the kings of smartphone cool, but if you ask me, they all share one big shortcoming: They don't run Windows Mobile.
I know that statement puts me in a distinct minority. But I love the way Windows Mobile supports push e-mail from Microsoft Exchange Server and easily syncs with Outlook. Not to mention several other business-friendly features the competition lacks – including VPN software and the ability to view and edit Microsoft Office documents.
[ Get a close look at Windows Mobile 6.1 in InfoWorld's "Palm Treo Pro: An InfoWorld guided tour." ]
The Palm Treo Pro -- an unlocked, quad-band, Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a physical QWERTY keyboard and 2.5-inch, 320-by-320-pixel display -- isn't the first Windows Mobile handset by Palm. Some models in the 700 and 750 series also run the Microsoft OS. But the HTC-manufactured Pro is the smallest Treo (0.7 ounce less than the HP iPaq 910c). Most important, it overcomes a number of hardware and software problems that plagued earlier Palm designs.
The lean Treo Pro -- with its rounded edges and recessed screen -- has a modern look. It fits comfortably in your hand, and I think the ergonomics are a bit better than the iPaq 910c's. For a size comparison, it has about the same footprint as the iPhone and is just slightly more petite than the BlackBerry Bold. Although the Pro's case is plastic, the build quality is very good. My biggest gripe is the shiny black surface, which really shows fingerprints and scratches easily.
[ For a look at other hot smartphones, see InfoWorld's review of the T-Mobile G1, companion tour of Google Android, and review of iPhone 3G. For tips on bringing the iPhone into the office, read "How to make the new iPhone work at work." ]
Unlike similar devices, where configuration changes require an excursion into the operating system, Palm's hardware gives you quick access to a number of common functions. For example, around the case's edge are dedicated buttons for power, wireless connection, and volume -- plus a ring silencer and a camera. On the bottom, there's a standard 3.5mm headphone jack and microUSB connector. Front-mounted buttons provide quick access to e-mail, calendar, and Windows menus.
The keyboard is a little cramped, and the keys will be too recessed for some. But with my medium-sized hands, I had no problems typing accurately. That said, it's not on par with BlackBerry keyboards or the Palm Treo 750's keyboard. Of course, you also can interact with applications using Window Mobile's on-screen keyboard or via the Pro's five-way navigation wheel. One nice touch: Besides functioning as a Select key, the center of the navigation wheel softly blinks white when you have a message waiting.
The screen, a long-needed upgraded from past Palm devices, is very crisp and readable indoors without cranking up the brightness. Outside in sunlight, the display almost washed out, but proved readable in the shade. A screen-saver mode, which turns off the backlight, shows the time and date, plus missed calls.

Embarkation was slower than I'd expect on that size vessel. The staff were overall helpful, particularly the purser who couldn't do enough for pax. Bought their wifi option and it was worth it at 20 Euro for 3 hours.
The raising of sails is a real treat--though the weather wasn't condusive to having a lot of sail up a lot of the time. The 'entertainment' was not particularly to my taste--I could have done without the goofy 'pirate night'. But you don't go on this ship for entertainment.
The atrium extends through two decks, topped by the bottom of the sun deck swimming pool--disconcerting to see bodies bobbing about above you. Restaurant well laid out with very good dinners and an excellent lunch buffet.
If you are looking for something other than the standard 'big ship' experience, this may be for you. Cabins small--I did fine but was travelling solo. I can see that two people would have had to be organized.
The climbing the mast experience was great fun--what a view from up there!

Goodmail's CertifiedEmail program is expected to help reduce e-mail fraud and phishing scams targeting AOL members.
In a bid to protect its members from email fraud and phishing, and to offer consistency to commercial email senders, AOL today will begin implementing Goodmail's cryptographic CertifiedEmail program and phasing out its IP-based Enhanced Whitelist.
As part of its email security practices, AOL blocks the display of images and hyperlinks on most high-volume messages, except if senders are on the AOL Enhanced whitelist and maintain very low complaint rates. Beginning today, AOL will also allow senders who have undergone accreditation through Goodmail to display images and hyperlinks by default. Goodmail charges accredited companies a fraction of a cent per message sent.
In addition, AOL will add a "trust symbol" to messages sent by Goodmail's CertifiedEmail senders. It will appear in the inbox and the message window, so members will understand that a sender's identity and reputation have been verified.
"Our focus and goal here is to provide a safer and more secure environment for our consumers, and restore some trust in the email inbox," Charles Stiles, AOL's postmaster, told ClickZ News.
AOL's current Enhanced Whitelist program works by classifying senders based upon their IP addresses. To qualify, senders submit to AOL the IP addresses from which they send email. Since many large senders use more than one IP address, it's possible for an AOL member to see images on a sender's email one week and not the next.
"If they get a message from a sender that has images and links enabled one day, and another one the next day where they're not, they tend not to trust that so much, or think there was an error. It sends an unclear message to the consumer," Stiles said.
In addition, the IP-based system is easier for spammers to game, since they can send low volumes of opt-in messages in accordance to the guidelines until the address is whitelisted, and then send a large amount of spam all at once before the address is blocked.
"The amount of accreditation that's required to get on the Enhanced Whitelist is not really appropriate for the level of permission we're giving here. With Goodmail, they're able to certify the entity as a whole, not just a certain IP address. Their testing and certification processes are much more rigorous than what an individual ISP can do in a scalable way," Stiles said.
The Enhanced Whitelist program will be phased out, first by lowering the complaint threshold in April to reduce the number of IP addresses in the program. The program will be eliminated entirely at the end of June, when all senders who have not yet done so will be required to sign up with Goodmail to retain previous sending privileges.
According to Stiles, senders are amenable to the idea, because they gain a level of consistency. Using Goodmail's CertifiedEmail, senders who maintain high standards are more likely to have all of their messages delivered, with links and images enabled, than they are under the current IP-based system, Stiles said. Senders will also gain access to message-level data confirming inbox delivery or detailing error reporting in the event of non-delivery.
"We've seen a good response from many senders who recognize the problems in the email ecosystem today," Richard Gingras, chairman and CEO of Goodmail, told ClickZ News. "They very clearly understand that their brands have been damaged by phishing attacks, that they're having a hard time getting their messages delivered, that consumers don't trust their messages. We're confident that over time we'll see significant adoption by senders of all types and stripes."
CertifiedEmail will cost senders a fraction of a cent per message sent, which Gingras said will be offset by the ROI it generates in the form of assured delivery, improved open rates, and enhanced click-through rate. Rates have not been set in stone, and Goodmail expects to offer senders significant discounts through 2006 under its charter program, he added.
Each message sent through the Goodmail CertifiedEmail service is embedded with a cryptographically-secure token. When a token is detected by a participating ISP, the message is delivered directly to a recipient's inbox and identified as a CertifiedEmail message.
CertifiedEmail imprinting capability is available through email technology providers like Port 25, StrongMail, ColdSpark, and Sendmail, as well as several email service providers. On the receiving end, Yahoo, which like AOL announced a deal with Goodmail in October, is expected to begin implementing CertifiedEmail in its mail service in the coming weeks to bypass certain volume and content filters to allow messages to automatically reach the user's server-level inbox.
"This is a case where everyone can do well by doing good," Gingras said. "We create a safer experience for consumers, we provide qualified senders with a secure method of obtaining these kinds of privileges, and we take some of the cost burden of cleaning up the inbox off of the ISPs."

Following a rough 8-3 loss to the Cardinals in Game 4 Thursday night, the San Francisco Giants sit on the brink of elimination once again, needing another string of three-consecutive victories to keep their 2012 season alive. After two dominant stints out of the bullpen in the NLDS, former ace Tim Lincecum could not carry his success into a starting role in Game 4, giving up four runs in 4⅔ innings.
Several story lines have emerged from this NLCS through just four games: Matt Holliday's "dirty" slide, Hunter Pence's inability to protect Buster Posey in the lineup, Carlos Beltran's continued October dominance. For Grant Brisbee of McCovey Chronicles, though, the story of the Championship Series has been timely hitting, specifically the Giants' lack thereof:
In the National League Championship Series, after a full season of hitting their way to a division title, the San Francisco Giants could not hit.
There are a lot of story lines you could choose. The return of the new Tim Lincecum, whom we didn't miss at all. The sloppy defense. A bullpen that picked a bad time to fail. But, no, the real story is the dastardly, villainous offense. After worrying we were going to watch this kind of offensive display all season, there was a reprieve. The offense was quite good for most of the year, especially in the last two months of the season. It was the starting pitching that was shaky. That was a little unexpected, sure, but everything was portioned out well enough to get the team to 94 wins.
And in the NLCS, the Giants couldn't hit.
Worse, it's been the same kind of can't-hit that plagued the Giants early in the season: a lack of hits with runners in scoring position, especially with two outs. The hitting was generally lousy in Game 4 -- five hits! no walks! -- but over the series, the Giants have been miserable with runners on base.
If the Giants got to cut Angel Pagan's triple and paste it into Game 3, for example, the series might be tied. And if touching Pablo Sandoval's nipples gave you the weather, he'd be an iPhone.
So it goes.
The Giants will send left-hander Barry Zito to the hill Friday night to try to keep their season alive. Game time is set for 8 p.m. ET, and the game will be broadcast on FOX.

While waiting for Big Blue Madness tickets, two young boys started a friendship that goes beyond their love of UK Basketball.
Reese Kemp, 15, and Lane Goodwin, 13, have both struggled with diseases in their life. Kemp living with cystic fibrosis and Goodwin battling terminal childhood cancer.
Despite both of them getting tickets for Big Blue Madness, Goodwin became too sick and was not able to go. So Kemp stepped up and still made the night a special occasion for Goodwin's family.
He helped organize a limo to drive Goodwin's younger brother, Landen, and his Aunt and Uncle to Rupp Arena where they were able to watch the first UK Basketball practice of the season.
"It means a lot because I know that he's enjoying watching his brother have such a good time," Kemp said. "And I know it means a lot to him because I know if someone would do this for my brother, it would mean the world to me to see a smile on his face."
Reese added that he doesn't let cystic fibrosis hold him back.
"I fight through it," he said. "I fight through it every day and fight through the struggle."
Goodwin's Family started the "Thumbs Up for Lane" Foundation that is focused on finding the cause of childhood cancer.
Celebrities began tweeting pictures with a thumbs up, sending their support to Goodwin, which the family says has helped them get through this time.
"There's really nothing else they can do," Goodwin's Aunt said about the disease. "The cancer has spread to his brain. And it's just a matter of time when the good Lord is ready to take him. And he says he's ready."
She adds that he is living every moment to its fullest. Which is a message both Goodwin and Kemp understand.
Kemp said, "Look how much my life is changing and look how much I'm changing others."

Parkinson's Disease Definition and Overview
Comment on this
Parkinson's disease (PD) is an age-related progressive deterioration of certain nerve systems in the brain, which affects movement, balance, and muscle control.
Parkinson's Disease Causes
The causes of Parkinson disease remain unclear; clinicians and researchers have clear evidence that the nerve cells that produce dopamine in the brain's region known as the substantia nigra are altered and lost (destroyed). The challenge that remains is to discover how these neurons are destroyed to cause Parkinson's disease. Advances in genetics have lead researchers to discover that about 10% of people that develop the disease are due to multiple genetic factors, but these people usually are younger than 50. The majority of researchers suggest that a combination of genetic and environmental factors cause about 90% of cases of PD, but how these factors interact to alter and destroy brain cells thus producing PD is not well understood. A few theories and risk factors are listed below that may offer additional information and clues that may help lead to a better understanding of PD causes.

A multitasker's impossible dream?
We all try to juggle work, sleep, and a social life. But can a person really have it all?
"Work. Sleep. Social life. Pick two."
I stumbled upon this motto one morning as I sleepily fumbled around the web, sipping a steaming mug of dark-roast coffee, in a desperate attempt to artificially recoup some sleep.
At first I chuckled. And then I sighed. It was true; it's impossible to do it all, and to do it all well.
Anyone who knows me would think I'm a triple-threat in the Department of Eat, Sleep, Work and Be Merry.
The reality is that I'm not. I'm a dedicated juggler, a passable multitasker, a chronic perfectionist and a steadfast workaholic; I subconsciously picked consistently working and enjoying a social life as my two university experiences.
Adequate sleep was the proverbial "icing on the cake" when it did come around. I'm the first to admit, this lifestyle doesn't promote wellness of body, mind, and spirit. However, as many of us know, when you are a student nowadays, something's got to give in the rat-race that's filled with competitive GPAs, vigorous post-graduate programs, and scarce job offers.
During my four years at Queen's, I worked extremely hard to maintain a strong academic record while participating in student leadership activities. In 2009, I became chronically ill with a connective tissue inflammation, which led to frustration and the desire in me to change the perception that all young people are the complete picture of health. When I founded InvisAbilities (invisabilities.org) – an organization dedicated to promoting awareness, education, and support of young adults who are living with chronic, invisible illnesses such as arthritis, fibromyalgia, diabetes, lupus, and Crohn's disease – I had no idea that my "little" idea would turn into something almost larger-than-life.
InvisAbilities quickly gained momentum when students, faculty and the University administration pledged their support for my disability-related initiative. I was thrilled, but, quite honestly, I was also somewhat shocked and a bit overwhelmed. How would I maintain my grades, coordinate this new group's activities, keep up with friends, attend endless doctors' appointments, and manage to comprehend all of these ongoing health issues?
I'm the type of person who carries through on my word. If I say I'm going to do something, there's no stopping me. However, trying to be a committed student, volunteer and friend took its toll. Surviving four years of university required a creative and disciplined approach in order to "do it all." I started finding alternative ways to cope with my busy schedule.
Multitasking is a difficult art, but I made it work to the best of my ability. I would squeeze in fitness while catching up with a friend, take a book everywhere I went to fit in 10 extra minutes of my course readings, fold InvisAbilities brochures while skyping with my family, and attend large social gatherings so I could see lots of friends at one time.
However, I have to admit that I still haven't found the perfect way to go about this continuous juggling act. I did manage to keep most of the balls in the air most of the time, even if I did drop one every now and then.
I truly believe that the key to staying sane while maintaining a packed schedule is to remind yourself that no one is superhuman. Sure, we may drop a ball once in a while, but that doesn't mean we're not great jugglers. As a new alumna of Queen's and recipient of an Arts and Science Undergraduate Society Scholarship, I was deeply honoured when the University acknowledged my efforts to live each "25-hour" day to the fullest.
Julie, who now lives in Oakville, Ontario, reports she's taking the year off from her studies as she continues "to expand the work of InvisAbilities, and to do a bit of traveling." – Ed.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
More than 150 U.S. law enforcement officers have died since 1999 from being hit by vehicles on America's highways, according to the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund.
The North Carolina Highway Patrol is reminding all drivers to be aware of emergency vehicles stopped on the side of the highway or interstate.
To date, 43 states have enacted Move Over laws to help better protect our law enforcement and first responders.
North Carolina is not immune to these deaths and injuries.
Since the Patrol's inception, two troopers have been hit and killed and many others have been injured while conducting traffic stops.
In 2002, North Carolina implemented the Move Over law, but many drivers are not familiar with it.
According to a national poll by Mason Dixon Polling & Research, sponsored by the National Safety Commission:
North Carolina state law requires motorists slow down and approach cautiously when an emergency vehicle is stopped on the shoulder of the roadway with its lights flashing.
Drivers are required to move over to another lane away from the emergency vehicle on a multi-lane highway or slow down on a two lane highway and can do so safely. Motorists must slow down while maintaining a safe speed.
On October 1, 2012, the law was expanded to include utility vehicles that are on the side of the road performing their duties. The utility vehicles are required to have a flashing amber-colored light.
Failure to comply with the move over law will result in a mandatory fine of $250.00 plus court costs.

I have been missing out for the past three-odd years. In other words, I have been busy not participating in the North American Computational Linguistics Olympiad. It's so sad.
The past week or so, before all the snow, I spent three hours solving some logic puzzles. It was possibly the most fun three hours I have spent in the past three years.
So now, I'm waiting to hear back, to see how I did. I really hope to be invited to the national invitational round, to be held mid-March-ish. That one is five hours! :D
Beyond that round, there's the international Linguistics Olympiad. This year it's in Uppsala, Sweden. There's no way I'd get that far, but I can always hope!
As for the questions, there were many warnings, like "ARGH DON'T TALK ABOUT THE QUESTIONS BEFORE THEY'RE POSTED ON THE WEBSITE GRRR." Anyways, my favorite *kind* of question was the one where they give you some sentences in a random language and their translations, and then you have to translate some other sentences from English and to English. So fun.
In other news, I need to learn about Turkish vowel harmony...

The wines of Iona come from a dramatically unique site in the Cape Winelands.
The vineyards are on a mountain plateau 420 metres above sea level, surrounded by the Kogelberg Nature Reserve, and overlooking the Atlantic Ocean.
In a country where cool sites are precious, these vineyards are like gold — the grapes ripening up to two months later than other Cape vineyards and in perfect balance. Iona is South Africa's coolest vineyard site.
Andrew Gunn and family acquired this beautiful, but run-down apple farm in 1997. It was renamed "IONA" after the remote, spiritual island off the west coast of Scotland. We Gunns can trace our ancestry to the Vikings that landed in Scotland in the 900s, hence the Viking longboat emblem on our labels.
Since our first release in 2001, the wines of Iona have quickly made a name as being among the finest in the world. We invite you to visit our mountain vineyards or browse the site for further information, contact details and orders. If you would like to know where to find our wines please check our Agents or call us for restaurant listings in South Africa.
When Andrew Gunn and Rozy married in 2003 they kept both their farms – Andrew's was high on a mountain top with cool sea breezes and Rozy's was nestled in a valley full of interesting slopes. They now had the potential of two very different worlds in Elgin. It is from these significantly diverse micro-climates that the red varietals for the OMB are procured. Iona's breath taking and chilly perch provides the structure and bright purity of red berry fruit, while the valley farm yields grapes that are twice ripened by the warmer climate and the additional light and warmth which is reflected off the white quartz, which makes up much of the soil profile on these rocky slopes. It is from these vineyards that we get our brooding intensity, weight and colour.

Value added
|It has been suggested that Added value be merged into this article. (Discuss) Proposed since November 2011.
In business, the difference between the sale price and the production cost of a product is the unit profit. In economics, the sum of the unit profit, the unit depreciation cost, and the unit labor cost is the unit value added. Summing value added per unit over all units sold is total value added. Total value added is equivalent to revenue less outside purchases (of materials and services). Value added is a higher portion of revenue for integrated companies, e.g., manufacturing companies, and a lower portion of revenue for less integrated companies, e.g., retail companies. Total value added is very closely approximated by total labor expense (including wages, salaries, and benefits) plus "cash" operating profit (defined as operating profit plus depreciation expense, i.e., operating profit before depreciation). The first component (total labor expense) is a return to labor and the second component (operating profit before depreciation) is a return to capital (including capital goods, land, and other property). In national accounts used in macroeconomics, it refers to the contribution of the factors of production, i.e., capital (e.g., land and capital goods) and labor, to raising the value of a product and corresponds to the incomes received by the owners of these factors. The national value added is shared between capital and labor (as the factors of production), and this sharing gives rise to issues of distribution.
Outside of economics, value added refers to "extra" feature(s) of an item of interest (product, service, person etc.) that go beyond the standard expectations and provide something "more", even if the cost is higher to the client or purchasor.[citation needed] Value-added features give competitive edges to companies with otherwise more expensive products.
Value-added methods and measurements are also being utilized in education as part of a national movement towards teacher evaluation and accountability in the United States. This type of measure is known as a value added modeling or measures
Process Improvement[edit]
In a process improvement perspective, in order for a step in any process to be considered value added, the activity must meet all three of the following criteria: 1) The customer is willing to pay for this activity, 2) It must be done right the first time, 3) The action must change the product or service in some manner. [1]http://www.isixsigma.com/dictionary/value-added/
Examples of non-value added steps include: inspection by a third party not part of the process, like traditional Quality Assurance, a decision or review board as part of production, or multiple offices or entities performing the same or similar tasks.
National accounts[edit]
The factors of production provide "services" which raise the unit price of a product (X) relative to the cost per unit of intermediate goods used up in the production of X.
In national accounts such as the United Nations System of National Accounts (UNSNA) or the United States National Income and Product Accounts (NIPA), gross value added is obtained by deducting intermediate consumption from gross output. Thus gross value added is equal to net output. Net value added is obtained by deducting consumption of fixed capital (or depreciation charges) from gross value added. Net value added therefore equals gross wages, pre-tax profits net of depreciation, and indirect taxes less subsidies.
Marxist interpretation[edit]
Karl Marx's concept of the value product is similar to the national accounting concept of net national product, or net value added, since it is the value of the gross product minus expenditure on constant capital, where the latter refers to the costs of intermediate products and depreciation. In turn, value added is equal to the sum of variable capital (labor's compensation) and surplus-value (pre-tax profit income). The argument is that labor creates a new value (value added) that covers the cost of both its own wages (payment for workers' ability to do labor, i.e. for their labor power) and surplus-value (property income). In Marx's example in his Das Kapital, workers exert enough labor-time during a working day to pay for the cost of reproducing their ability to work during that day (their labor-power) and then did extra work (surplus-labor) to pay incomes to capitalists, land-owners, and the like. As labor is the active and conscious factor in the production process, capital goods ("means of production") and gifts from nature ("land," natural resources) only facilitate labor's transformation of raw materials into other products, raising labor's physical productivity (its ability to produce use-values) and its value-productivity (its ability to produce use-values that can be sold for money).
In contrast, neoclassical economics regards the incomes constituting added value as the reward for services rendered. In his critique of political economy, Marx saw incomes as results of production under conditions of capitalist exploitation. The capitalist class control over the production process and the growth of the economy (capital accumulation) gives them the power to claim the benefits of the extra labor done by the workforce. This is enforced by the normal existence of mass unemployment, what Marx called the "reserve army of labor."
Differences between Marxist and neoclassical accounting of value added[edit]
A difference between Marxist theory and conventional national accounts concerns the interpretation of the distinction between new value created, transfers of value and conserved value, and of the definition of "production".
For example, Rohit Gupta theory regards the "imputed rental value of owner-occupied housing" which is included in GDP as a fictitious entry; if the housing is owner-occupied, this housing cannot also yield real income from its market-based rental value at the same time.
In the 1993 manual of the United Nations System of National Accounts (UNSNA), the concept of "imputed rental value of owner occupied housing" is explained as follows:
"6.89. Heads of household who own the dwellings which the households occupy are formally treated as owners of unincorporated enterprises that produce housing services consumed by those same households. As well-organized markets for rented housing exist in most countries, the output of own-account housing services can be valued using the prices of the same kinds of services sold on the market in line with the general valuation rules adopted for goods or services produced on own account. In other words, the output of the housing services produced by owner-occupiers is valued at the estimated rental that a tenant would pay for the same accommodation, taking into account factors such as location, neighbourhood amenities, etc. as well as the size and quality of the dwelling itself. The same figure is recorded under household final consumption expenditures."
Marxist economists object to this accounting procedure on the ground that the monetary imputation made refers to a flow of income which does not exist, because most home owners do not rent out their homes if they are living in them.
Another important difference concerns the treatment of property rents, land rents and real estate rents. In the Marxian interpretation, many of these rents, insofar as they are paid out of the sales of current output of production, constitute part of the new value created and part of the real cost structure of production. They should therefore be included in the valuation of the net product. This contrasts with the conventional national accounting procedure, where many property rents are excluded from new value-added and net product on the ground that they do not reflect a productive contribution.
Value added tax[edit]
Value added tax (VAT) is a tax on sales. It works by being charged on the sale price of new goods and services, whether purchased by intermediate or final consumers. However, intermediate consumers may reclaim VAT paid on their inputs, so that the net VAT is based on the value added by producing this good or service.

METAIRIE, La. — On Tuesday, the hullabaloo surrounding the Dolphins' passing over of Drew Brees reclaimed the airwaves and internet after former Miami coach Nick Saban told radio host Dan LeBatard that the quarterback didn't pass a physical, nullifying a contract offer from the franchise.
Wednesday, Brees laughed when asked about the topic.
"Well I wouldn't have passed anybody's physical," Brees said. "I was two months in to an eight-month rehab."
Equally as important to the story is this little fact from Brees – the Dolphins didn't exactly offer him a written in stone contract.
"Well, I mean, I think he kind of scaled it back," Brees said. "There was an offer and then it was kind of teetering and then it was well, maybe not."
Regardless of the situation six years ago and how it turned out, Brees harbors no ill will towards Saban.
In fact, he respects how the coach, who now is vying for his third national championship in four years at the University of Alabama, handled the situation.
But Brees said it's how he was treated in New Orleans that made the biggest difference.
"I was given confidence that you are our guy and we know the situation you're in but we know you're going to come back and lead this team and this community," Brees said. "The impression that I got when I was there was 'hey, we like you but we're not sure' and I got the sense I was being evaluated every second I was there."
In Miami, Brees said he was "poked and prodded" and stuck with needles as the Dolphins tried to make sure his arm was all right.
In the end, Brees said everything worked out for him and Saban.
"Listen, it all happened the way it was supposed to," Brees said. "He's at Alabama playing for his third national title and I don't think he'd trade it for the world. I certainly wouldn't trade it for the world. We're all good."
