Hail fell in a white strip across the eastern Concho Valley in addition to the general rains, blanketing the countryside almost like snow.
Dick Brady, a farmer near Wall, said 5 to 6 inches of hail covered a mile-wide area near Wall and further east toward Paint Rock.
"It looks just like snow," Brady said. "But it's straight ice."
San Angelo has received more than half an inch of rain since Thursday night, National Weather Service staff reported Friday.
The city received 0.20 inches of rain between 11 p.m. and midnight Thursday, and the rest of the night until 8 a.m. Friday saw 0.47 inches, NWS meteorologist Nick Reimer said.
The 0.67 inches resulted from a low pressure system that had moved across the Southwest and came into contact with a cold front that blew in around 10 a.m. Thursday, Reimer said.
Rainfall "is going to be hanging around the next couple of days," Reimer said.
He anticipates more rain today.
The marble-size hail that fell near Wall for about 45 minutes around 11 p.m. on Thursday will do huge damage to Brady's wheat crop, especially since the cold weather won't allow the hail to melt, he said.
"Getting hail this time of year is pretty odd," he said.
Vickie Hall, who lives 20 miles east of San Angelo on FM 380, said the hail broke skylights in her barn.
"It's one of those things that's just a fluke," she said.
Elsewhere the weather — rain and lightning in particular — shut down sporting events and caused power problems along Sherwood Way, police reported, although electricity provider American Electric Power reported no customer outages in
that area.
For those involved with the Concho Belles Relay, the meteorological defeat was bittersweet.
High school girls were ready to run Friday when the threat of lightning shut them down.
"It's nice to have the rain," San Angelo school district Athletic Director Jim Slaughter said. "I hope it goes ahead and rains hard."
The San Angelo Boys Golf Classic that was to be played Friday and today at three local courses also was canceled, as were San Angelo Soccer Association games scheduled for Sunday.
The rains diminished further north, although Abilene reported similar numbers to San Angelo, Reimer said.
"It looks like the heaviest is just southeast,"
Reimer said.
Wall reported 1.74 inches.
Normal rainfall for March is 1.5 inches. The usual year-to date rainfall is 2.69 inches, and San Angelo has received 6.67 inches, thanks to heavy rainfalls in January and February.

Borders MP Michael Moore welcomed the launch of Edinburgh's bid for the Green Investment Bank last week.
On Wednesday 30th March the Edinburgh Green Investment Bank Group presented the business case for locating the UK Green Investment Bank in Edinburgh to Michael Moore, the Secretary of State for Scotland and Borders MP. The bank, to begin operation in 2012-13, will fund large-scale clean energy and low-carbon projects across the UK with £3 billion of funds.
The Group's business case is based upon Edinburgh's expertise in financial services, education, research and development, as well as its growing reputation in renewable energy and low carbon technologies.
Michael Moore said:
"As an MP representing a constituency which has vast renewable energy potential I welcome the Government's Green Investment Bank which will provide funding for large-scale projects such as offshore wind, tidal and wave.
"These projects will provide the jobs and energy security we need for the future and I am working with local groups, such as in Eyemouth to ensure that when offshore developments occur, local people benefit.
"It makes sense for the Green Investment Bank to be based in Scotland because of the unique strengths we have in terms of finance sector, the energy industry and research.
"I will continue to argue the case for Scotland within the UK Government over the coming months and I wish the Group all the best in their bid."

Each of the following techniques for protecting personal information can help reduce the risk of at least some of the bytes flowing over the Internet. They aren't perfect. Unanticipated cracks, even when all of these techniques are used together, always arise. Still, they're like deadbolt locks, car alarms, and other security measures: tools that provide enough protection to encourage the bad guys to go elsewhere.
Online privacy technique No. 1: Cookie management
The search engines and advertising companies that track our moves online argue they have our best interests at heart. While not boring us with the wrong ads may be a noble goal, that doesn't mean the relentless tracking of our online activities won't be used for the wrong reasons by insiders or websites with less esteemed ideals.
The standard mechanism for online tracking is to store cookies in your browser. Every time you return to a website, your browser silently sends the cookies back to the server, which then links you with your previous visits. These little bits of personalized information stick around for a long time unless you program your browser to delete them.
Most browsers have adequate tools for paging through cookies, reading their values, and deleting specific cookies. Cleaning these out from time to time can be helpful, although the ad companies have grown quite good at putting out new cookies and linking the new results with the old. Close 'n Forget, a Firefox extension, deletes all cookies when you close the tab associated with a site.
Standard cookies are just the beginning. Some ad companies have worked hard on burrowing deeper into the operating system. The Firefox extension BetterPrivacy, for example, will nab the "supercookies" stored by the Flash plug-in. The standard browser interface doesn't know that these supercookies are there, and you can delete them only with an extension like this or by working directly with the Flash plug-in.
There are still other tricks for sticking information in a local computer. Ghostery, another Firefox extension, watches the data coming from a website, flags some of the most common techniques (like installing single-pixel images), and lets you reverse the effects.
Online privacy technique No. 2: Tor
One of the simplest ways to track your machine is through your IP address, the number the Internet uses like a phone number so that your requests for data can find their way back to your machine. IP addresses can change on some systems, but they're often fairly static, allowing malware to track your usage.
One well-known tool for avoiding this type of tracking is called Tor, an acronym for "The Onion Router." The project, developed by the Office of Naval Research, creates a self-healing, encrypted supernetwork on top of the Internet. When your machine starts up a connection, the Tor network plots a path through N different intermediate nodes in the Tor subnet. Your requests for Web pages follow this path through the N nodes. The requests are encrypted N times, and each node along the path strips off a layer of encryption like an onion with each hop through the network.

By Richard A. O'Neill
Once long ago in ancient China the philosopher Zhuangzi had a dream that he was a butterfly. When he awoke suddenly from this dream he didn't know whether or not he was Zhuangzi or a butterfly dreaming that he was Zhuangzi. The lesson from this tale is that understanding reality is a fool's errand as perhaps we are all merely butterflies dreaming of being people.
Knowing the truth of whether or not our existence is real is not really the point of existence as even if it isn't real each and everyone one of us still experiences the world in a personal way. We all are born, grow up, fall in and out of love, and eventually pass back behind the black curtain.
Life is a wonderful experience which at times is breathtakingly beautiful. The sorrow in existence though is that it is ever fleeting. Therefore, we must enjoy our experiences as we are presented to them as these moments will never come back again.
Magic City is this kind of band as their music is a dreamy commentary about life, love, and the human condition. Releasing their E.P. Little Bits back in November, Magic City launched itself onto the Chicago music scene as butterflies dreaming of being people. This is not to say that their music is petty in any way as their E.P. is fantastic. The thing about Little Bits is that its sound and lyrics are draped in an ephemeral curtain of dreamscapes and distortions.
But behind these dreamscapes and distortions Lauren Whitacre meows about how hard it is sometimes to be a person. Her vocals are in a similar way to PJ Harvey's but her lyrical messages are far more draped in blue than Harvey's could ever be.
It is in this way that most of the tracks off of Magic City are confessionary in nature. They are admissions of personal weakness and emotional helplessness but overall hold an optimistic outlook towards a happier future. A soundtrack for the current lost generation as perhaps tomorrow will be brighter as long as we can get through today.
PT II. The Magic continues

Dear Readers,
I would like to take the time to introduce Richard, our newest team member and the man responsible for anything of substance on this blog. Richard contacted me asking if he could write for FeelTrip. I gave him the greenlight not knowing when he said "write" he meant it in the traditional sense, and not the current incarnation of "reblogging other interesting articles and posting a youtube video" style of writing. As we ease our "readers" into actual "articles" I will from time to time, do my best internet wiki/google/youtube dependent translations of Richards writings as to help aid us in our transition from Brawndo back to water.

Moneta Golf Condo Rentals(19)

Great Location in Great Community!
We just came back from our stay at SML and had a great time. We really loved this condo for many reasons. It was very clean, comfortable and well stocked. It felt like home. The living area was very cozy with lots of fun games and DVDs for all ages. The kitchen was so well stocked and there was a washer/dryer which is so handy for weeklong stays. Beds were very comfortable. The view of the lake was beautiful and I liked that this was a first floor unit to make it easy to get in and out and to the lake. Sandy was wonderful-very responsive, helpful - it rained during part of our stay and she went out of her way to send a list of things for my kids to do on rainy days which was so helpful. The location was awesome-there is so much to do-outdoor and indoor pools, basketball, corn hole, a cute small beach and marina with boat rentals all within walking distance of the condo. Plenty of open space to play games and bike. I would definitely recommend staying at this condo.
Smith Mountain Lake at it's best!
SML is one of the best if not the best lake on the east coast - from excellent fishing to boating, kayaking, or just enjoying the wonderful views you can not beat SML! My family and I have stayed in many spots on the lake but the Penthouse Condo beats them all. The location on the lake it ideal - the boat access is excellent, water depth and clarity is perfect, pool area is very large and well kept, pool house grilling area was a nice addition. Not that you need it but, should you want to spend some time at a nice park if you have small children the nearby SML Community Park is terrific (this park is NOT the SML State Park) with kids playground area, beach with sand, fishing dock, walking trails, etc. The condo itself is extremely clean with everything you would need for your stay - we ate in several times and were well pleased with the amenities. Our son brought a friend - making us have 4 in the condo (2 adults and 2 high school kids) - I would say 2 or 3 you can't beat it!!! 4 works and we had no problems but keep in mind this is a 1 bedroom condo with a pullout bed. Comfortable sleeping arrangements just expect nighttime to get a bit crowded with 4. Final thoughts - you have it all at the Penthouse - a neat, well maintained condo in the perfect location on the lake for a variety of activities - a short drive to Westlake for meals or shopping - and a wonderful lake view from the top floor of the complex. The only complaint I have it I didn't find the Penthouse a few years ago! Enjoy.
Family Ties: A Winner!
I would definitely recommend staying at Family Ties! The customer service was excellent. The listing description was quite accurate and the place was a dream home away from home. It was very well maintained and beautifully decorated, yet very comfortable and inviting. It had all of the amenities necessary to make your visit so pleasant. It was also so nice to have your own pool but great to be within close walking distance of the larger pool, tennis courts, and fitness area. The location was ideal as you could sit out on the deck and see the breathtaking view of the lake, with the mountains behind it- a view like none I had ever seen- just gorgeous!!

BRISTOL, R.I. -- Wanted more between the pages of RWU Magazine's spring issue? Us, too! Whether you're enjoying your issue of RWU poolside, lakeside or surfside, here is some extra content to sink your teeth into -- from seaweed recipes to misunderstood zombies.
And, while you revel in the relaxation of summer break, we'll be hard at work creating the next issue. As always, we want to hear from you, our readers. Let us know how you like the current magazine and send us your story ideas at firstname.lastname@example.com. Happy reading!
BRISTOL, R.I. – Friends and families reunited at the 4th Annual Alumni Weekend over golfing, lobster and a glimpse of the work of faculty and students taking place around Roger Williams University.
Highlights of the weekend, held on campus from June 6 to June 8, included the Ray Cordeiro Alumni Golf Classic, a casino night and lobster clambake, a Mount Hope Bay tour on the Rum Runner II, the SAAHP Women's Leadership Network, and much more.
The annual Alumni Association awards ceremony honored the following distinguished alumni:
BRISTOL, R.I. – Roger Williams University has appointed accomplished scholar, educator and administrator Susan McTiernan, Ph.D., to lead the Mario J. Gabelli School of Business. As dean, she will serve as the school's academic and administrative leader.
McTiernan comes to Roger Williams from Quinnipiac University, where she served as associate dean and associate professor of management in the School of Business since 2010.
Bristol, R.I. – The weather may have started wet, but the sun broke through and Commencement celebrations among more than 6,000 graduates and guests were hardly dampened, as the 1,035 members of the Roger Williams University Class of 2014 culminated their college careers on Saturday at the University's annual Commencement exercises.
In addition to awarding bachelor's and master's degrees to the candidates, RWU President Donald J. Farish conferred honorary doctorates to two special guests: the Honorable Lincoln D. Chafee, the 74th governor of the State of Rhode Island; and Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin.
BRISTOL, R.I. – In a time-honored tradition, students at Roger Williams University crossed the Commencement stage and officially became college graduates on Saturday, May 17. Joining the celebration were the 74th Governor of Rhode Island, Lincoln D. Chafee, and Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin, who each received an honorary degree; Chafee delivered the keynote address. A day earlier, David A. Logan presided over his final Commencement at RWU Law before departing the deanship this summer to return to the faculty this fall. The Honorable Judith S. Kaye, chief judge of the New York Court of Appeals (Ret.), served as keynote speaker.
In the days before and after Commencement, this page will be updated to direct PDQ@RWU readers to stories, slideshows and other coverage related to this year's exercises. Check back regularly for information updates and new content.
Rhode Island Governor Lincoln D. Chafee will address the Class of 2014 and receive an honorary degree during Commencement exercises. Pulitzer Prize-winning author and historian Doris Kearns Goodwin — writer of "The Bully Pulpit" and "Team of Rivals," among other bestsellers — will also be awarded an honorary degree. This event is not open to the public; tickets are required.
BRISTOL, R.I. – From creating a historic preservation-based rehabilitation plan for Portsmouth's historic St. Mary's Church parish house to law students' collaboration with Bradley Hospital in assisting parents with guardianship decisions for their developmentally disabled children, students from across the academic disciplines showcased their efforts within local communities at yesterday's Community Engagement Celebration.
A gala event held inside the Campus Recreation Center Fieldhouse demonstrated the collaborative projects executed by students and faculty with community partners from across Rhode Island and parts of Massachusetts, as well as global service projects. Via student-led conversations and poster presentations, community partners and University leaders had the opportunity to discuss how students are applying their academic knowledge to address community needs.
View the slideshow below of the event:
BRISTOL, R.I. – If these 21 finance students from Roger Williams University were college basketball players instead of student investment fund managers, you might call their success a Cinderella story.
With a 36.17 percent return on the investments managed during calendar year 2013 (and a risk-adjusted "alpha" of 11.86 percent), the student fund managers from the Center for Advanced Financial Education (CAFE) at the University's Mario J. Gabelli School of Business became national champions not once, but twice, last month – March Madness, indeed!
The Student Academic Symposium and Honors (SASH) provides a forum for students to present their scholarly and creative work before an audience of peers. There are standing displays all week, as well as morning sessions consisting of students' poster presentations; and afternoon and evening sessions consisting of concurrent sessions that include students' thesis, capstone and other paper or project presentations, panel discussions, displays of design work, exhibitions of visual and multimedia artifacts, performing arts recitals, literary readings, theatrical performances, and spotlighting of Community Partnership Center projects.
The keynote speaker, Paul Loeb, will present a lecture on April 22 at 3:00 p.m. in the GHH Atrium.
Click here to read the full program schedule. The Honors Program, the Office of the Provost, and Alpha Chi, in consultation with the SASH Steering Committee, are the primary sponsors of the week-long event. Open to the public.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) -- Construction is expected to begin in 2014 on a new $1.4 billion Route 460 from Petersburg to Suffolk, with the road opening in 2018.
Transportation officials tell the Richmond Times-Dispatch (http://bit.ly/P9ny3s) drivers would pay $3.69 for cars or $11.72 for trucks to use the 55-mile road. It comes out to 6.7 centers per mile for cars and 21.3 cents for trucks. Toll rates would increase 3.5 percent per year.
The existing U.S. 460 will remain an alternative route without tolls. The new four-lane, divided highway will have seven interchanges over 55 miles. Officials say it could help the rural, economically depressed region in Southside Virginia.
Funding for the project will come from public and private sources.
More details were expected to be announced at Wednesday's Commonwealth Transportation Board meeting.

New information tonight on the 12-year-old boy that apparently died after a belt was wrapped around his neck. Preliminary autopsy results are in and show Richard Contreras died of asphyxia.
Police responded to a choking call around 2 p.m. Friday afternoon. Upon arrival they discovered 12-year-old Richard Contreras with no vital signs. "Officers went to the scene and realized it wasn't a choking, but a strangulation with a belt among three brothers. Officers gathered as much information as we could and we're still working the investigation at this time," said Sgt Scott Farmer, a Juvenile Detective for the Lubbock Police Department.
Sgt. Farmer also says they are still in the heart of this investigation, trying to determine how it happened. "Our main concern is if this is an accident, or was this intentional, that's part of our investigation to determine what happened."
Richard's family says it was an accident, that Richard and his two brothers wouldn't hurt each other and that the family is taking this very hard.
"They were close, very close. No way they could've done that to their brother. They are taking it really hard, because he's so young. He was a good kid, he was a great brother and I miss him," said Lisa Falcon, Richard's sister.
At this time, family members have traveled to Crystal City for Richard's funeral, but the investigation is ongoing.

'Grandma' Scam Rearing Its Ugly Head In Senior Community Again [1]
A scam so familiar to law enforcement that it has a name is being tried on senior residents of Santa Clarita, but some of them are getting smarter and nipping the potential crime in the bud.
Unfortunately, the bad guys can shift their games and simply take money from innocent victims. Sheriff's officials are trying to stop the crime before it starts, but advise a lot depends on the intended targets.
"We've heard of them before, common scams targeting seniors," said Lt. Brenda Cambra of the Santa Clarita Valley Station. "We advise anyone against being involved in anything where you're supposed to go get money because it's a scam - also, anything that looks too good to be true is a scam."
The "grandma scam" goes something like this: A grandparent gets a call from someone who tells them that their grandchild - who they name and have some basic information about - is in trouble and needs money.
"We always hear 'but they knew my grandchild's name' as some way of giving credence to the scam, but it's really easy for the bad guys to get that information," Cambra said.
The grandparents, wanting to be helpful, often agree to do whatever it takes, without taking the extra step of trying to contact the grandchild directly. The caller may dissuade them, creating some fictitious situation or conditions. The senior citizen then goes or is taken to the bank, money is withdrawn and handed over to strangers, who disappear with the cash.
"I've heard of five or six incidents recently where seniors have been victimized," said Rev. Stan Fix, pastor of a Friendly Valley church. "Some did not get taken because the bank caught it, but some were not so fortunate."
Several of the victims spoke with KHTS. Their identities are not being revealed because of the sensitivity of the situation.
"A week ago, I was gone from my house, but when I came home, I couldn't believe the look on my husband's face," one woman explained. "He said our granddaughter was in trouble and we needed to go to the bank and get $3,600, go to WalMart and get a money order and give these people on the phone the number.
"We went to the bank, but when we were talking to the teller, the bank manager heard us and said 'don't do it, it's a scam' and she called the police.'"
The same woman said that the scammer called her back and she wanted to hear the details for herself, telling the caller her husband didn't hear well.
"He repeated everything and I told him we'd been to the bank and told him to just knock it off and he hung up. I'm telling everyone to pass it around because there's about 4 or 5 different scams out there."
Another woman got a phone call from someone who sounded just like her grandson saying he 'had a problem' and needed her help, but she sensed something was amiss.
"When he named where he was, it was a little bit off, so my logic kicked in instead of my emotion," she explained. She didn't let the crook get any further in his spiel, but still got hurt.
"The hardest part about this was that I was so excited to hear his voice, only to have it be this," she said.
One victim wasn't lucky enough to stop before she took a financial hit.
A resident of Friendly Valley whose closest family is a son on the East Coast got a call early one morning from a man who said he represented her bank where someone was trying to get her money.
"He said they thought they knew who it was, but they needed my help," she said. "I was to go to my bank, take my last statement, withdraw $5,800 out of my account and put it in an envelope.
"They had a taxi waiting outside the bank to take me to a store where I was supposed to meet a man standing outside. I saw a man who looked like somebody and he asked for the envelope, which I gave him."
The victim was then told to go inside the store and ask the manager to call a taxi to take her home, which she did. After she got home, she was upset, but still answered a call from the suspect who told her she 'did very well.'
"I figured I can't do wrong by calling the police, so I did," she continued. "They sent two policewomen later that day."
Since then, she's been telling her friends about the experience, cautioning them to beware.
"I'll share my story with everybody," she said. "Especially those with no family. Those guys know who to look for."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department has information on scams on its website at www.scvsheriff.com [3], including one specifically aimed at seniors here [4].

For the first time, Stephen Lamb stepped
aboard the new Georgia Regents University bus Wednesday. The bus is labeled from
top to bottom with the new name of the consolidated university, GRU.
"It bothers me for the fact that
it's not acknowledging Augusta State. I think everybody is bothered by the
change," Lamb, said.
Lamb is a sophomore and he's usually
happy to catch a ride on the bus; but seeing the new bus Wednesday had the
opposite effect.
"Seeing the bus this morning, it
did upset some feelings but it's something we've got to get over."
Fox54's Mark Barber asked, "How do you
do that?" Lamb answered, "Well there's not much we can do about that, just get
used to it."
"How long do you think that will take?"
Barber, asked. Lamb said, "it may take a
semester or two."
Even though not everyone is on board, some
students welcomed the new look and the new opportunities in store.
Kala Brown doesn't care what the bus
looks like as long as she gets her to classes at the GHSU campus on time.
"I think it will be beneficial
because I'm a nursing major and I think it will help us out a whole lot with
the health and science," said Brown.
The bus is a part of the Jaguar Express
and it gives students a faster trip between the two campuses than they had
The bus will operate all day long Monday
through Friday.

Starting quarterback and team captain Jimmy Clausen was involved in an altercation outside a South Bend, Ind., bar in the hours after a double-overtime loss to Connecticut on Saturday, taking a punch to the face in the incident, sources told the Tribune.
Clausen suffered at least one black eye as a result of the punch, according to a source.
This got me thinking, what are the odds of some meatball Bears fan taking a crack at Jay when he is out and about on the town. Let's say he's grabbing some milk from the grocery store and as he's reading the National Enquierer about John and Kate plus 8 he gets his eye dotted. Or lets say he's pumping gas and out of the blue he takes a shot. I'm sending this out to you Bears fans, even if your mad about a loss you just can't go around punching people no matter how much you want to. We're not Viking fans remember that. :)

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.
Green Bay is certainly starting to discover what it's really made of. A 13-3 record last year was a surprise to everyone across the country, and it put Green Bay back on the map. This year opened up with a hard-fought win over the rival Vikings, a contender in their own right. Then they went to visit the perpetually problematic Lions, where they survived a scare, but came out with a victory (which was a blowout only in the final score). Everyone was high on a 2-1 Green Bay squad that had a solid defense, impressive development in the passing game, and a healing running back. We were, as they say, in business.
Then the Dallas Cowboys came to town and showed everyone why they are probably the best team in the NFC and one of the top three in the league. But the Packers just weren't ready. There was no problem with the run game; Ryan Grant was still hurt, and they'd played one of the top defenses in the NFL. There was no problem with the passing game; the Rodgers-Jennings connection was going strong, and the Dallas game was just a minor slip.
And now we find that our Packers have lost to the once-division rival Tampa Bay Buccaneers. What's the story here? As I said, Green Bay is starting to discover who they really are as a team. Let's take a look at the game timeline:
- Aaron Rodgers started off by leading a touchdown drive, capped by a nice toss to Greg Jennings.
- The defense held Tampa Bay to two unsuccessful drives, resulting in punts.
- Green Bay proceeded to produce eight consecutive unsuccessful offensive possessions, comprised of two interceptions, one fumble (returned for a TD), one turnover on downs, and four punts.
- During that period, Tampa Bay took advantage of beautiful field position and scored 20 straight points. The fact that the defense held them to only 20 points in eight possessions is astounding, especially since at least three of them started in Green Bay territory.
- Green Bay was given a second chance on two Tampa turnovers, even a one-point lead on Charles Woodson's pick-six. Take note, this is the second time where Charles Woodson has saved Green Bay's collective bacon.
- But, sadly, our bacon was still in jeopardy. The offense continued to stall (a theme of the day, magnified when Aaron Rodgers went out with a minor injury), and closed the game by tossing an interception that ended up with Tampa retaking the lead for good.
Let me just point out how good the defense had been for this game. Griese threw three interceptions. Until the fourth quarter, Earnest Graham and Warrick Dunn were well under control. In the first half, they held Tampa to two field goals when a more adept offense would have easily scored touchdowns. The defense deserves all the credit in the world.
But all the credit in the universe goes to Charles Woodson. As the lead member of a mostly-injured starting secondary, he once again proved that pain does not faze him as he produced a clutch interception return that gave Green Bay the lead and, more importantly, the momentum.
But that brings me to the biggest issue: the offense. After establishing momentum early with a touchdown drive to open the game, they just...stopped. It took until the end of the third quarter for them to produce another (and the only other) score. Aside from Jennings' regular excellence (6 catches, 109 yards, 2 TD's), the offense couldn't do a thing against Tampa Bay. What happened?
The lack of a sustainable and consistent run game happened. Ryan Grant started off fairly well, but ended the game with 15 carries for 20 yards, a carbon copy of the stat line he produced in the 48-25 win over Detroit two weeks ago. And if you remember, it took a gargantuan defensive effort to retake the lead and keep it safe against Detroit in the fourth quarter.
It doesn't help that Tampa Bay looks like the defense from 2002. A lot of credit is deserved by their players, but more blame is deserved by the Green Bay offense. Green Bay is better than this, and everyone knows it. The running game is sputtering, at best. Grant has 40 carries for 166 yards over four games. Aside from his 57 yard scamper in week 1, that brings himdown to 39 carries for 109 yards. That's an average of 2.7 YPC, a far cry from his 5.1 average from last season.
So who's to blame? Is it Grant, who allegedly is healed from his nagging hamstring injury, an ailment that arguably could have been avoided had he not held out from training camp? Is it the offensive line, a group widely lauded for its depth but hasn't performed when injuries to key cogs like Scott Wells and rookie Josh Sitton tested that depth? Is it Aaron Rodgers, who failed to establish a consistent rhythm in the passing game? Is it Coach McCarthy and Co, who may have produced a sub-par gameplan that resulted in the loss we witnessed today?
Frankly, I don't know. Somebody isn't doing the job right, and that somebody (or somebodies) needs to shape up. Maybe a relatively weak opponent like Atlanta at home next week is just what the team needs to regroup. Because the team isn't going to succeed by relying on Greg Jennings and Charles Woodson alone. And don't even try to link the Packers' offensive woes to a Jets QB that threw 6 touchdowns today.
At least the Brewers made the playoffs. CC Sabathia is a b-e-a-s-t. BEAST.

No candidate is perfect. Neither is the office. Politics & Sausage. Don't watch either being made. But rather than "lesser of two evils," go for the one who comes closest. Count the things you are *FOR* and compare what side the candidates stand on with those issues. From there, the choice should be easy, no matter the political stripe. And when a candidate is also *FOR* something as opposed to "I'm not the other guy," it's usually a winning situation.

As a teacher, my years of experience and study with a wide array of teachers has given me a unique perspective on the process of music making and how everyone can benefit from the act of music making. As a professional musician with a diverse background, I have years of performance and teaching experience to offer my students and to help them overcome any musical difficulties with ease.
Positions in professional orchestras I have held include Principal Bass with the Amedeus Operenensemble in Salzburg, Austria, Assistant Principal Bass with the Northern Symphony Orchestra (MN) and St. Peter's Chamber Orchestra (Redwood City, CA) as well as with the Boise Philharmonic. I am also an avid chamber musician, composer and improvisor, a founding member of the San Francisco Bass Quartet and the Argentine Tango group Tangonero. I have also worked as a session player at San Francisco's Hyde Street Studios and recently collaborated with Third Eye Blind and Jherek Bischoff.
I studied the double bass at the University of MN with Christopher Brown of the St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, and earned my B.M. at the San Francisco Conservatory of Music studying with Scott Pingel and Steve Tramontozzi of the San Francisco Symphony.
I have also studied electric bass with Steve Hanson, and drum set with Pete Hennig and Dan Rheinhardt.
*** Lesson Details ***
In my years of private teaching experience, I have found that it is most important for the student to have a clear goal or idea of what they want to get out of the lessons. This way both myself and the student have a clear understanding of what we want to accomplish and how I can help make the musical dream a reality. I have found that every student has different musical strengths and tailor my lessons to help the student overcome their specific challenges and strengthen the skills that come naturally. After several months studying with me you can expect to have better understanding of how your instrument works and developed basic skills to play simple tunes by ear and play some of your own music. But most importantly music is FUN! My ultimate goal is to share my love of music with all of my students and help them develop the same love for it that I have.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Comfortable and clean private teaching studio w/ drum set, keyboard and amps w/ seating for parents
*** Specialties ***
As a professional freelance musician in the San Francisco Bay Area I perform regularly in a variety of groups that encompass many genres, including: Symphony orchestras; jazz combos; Argentine Tango groups; folk, rock and funk groups; Bluegrass and more.
I place an importance on nurturing students to become lifelong learners in a safe atmosphere that allows the student to feel comfortable making mistakes and to eventually help them find their own "voice" without negative constructive criticism, because after all, music is supposed to be fun. When starting lessons with a new student I make an effort to learn what kind of music they want to play, in order to establish a place to start and to ultimately give them the tools they need to create their own music in any style that they wish.
Acoustic Guitar, Bass Guitar, Blues Guitar, Guitar, Harmonica, Music Theory, Songwriting, Ukulele
I have played on tour with several professional bands, playing rock, pop, blues, African, metal, and country. I now perform live in various bands and record original music as often as possible. My music has gotten airplay in many countries.
I started playing guitar at age 9, and recorded 2 singles in the LA area by age 14. I was a music major throughout High School and College. I also learned a lot by educating myself at the Brand Library in the Los Angeles Area, which specializes in the arts. I specialized in advanced music theory and improvisational techniques.
I have enjoyed teaching music lessons since 1978.
I custom tailor a lesson plan to fit your individual needs and goals! I can teach you songs you'd like to learn instantly when I hear them on your iPod, mobile phone, cassette or CD that you bring in. I can explain musical theory and concepts many different ways to make sure you understand them. I am very friendly and patient.
Sometimes I might inject humor into the learning process to make it an enjoyable learning experience, and to help you remember the important things.
I love the satisfaction of seeing my students grow musically proficient and and seeing the JOY that it brings them. Many of my students have gone on to become professional. I am well-versed in many styles: Rock, Pop, Blues, Alternative, Country, R&B, Metal (and a few plastics and wood as well).
*** Lesson Details ***
I will develop a personal lesson plan for each individual student. During your lessons, I might cover topics ranging from learning how to play, starting from the basics (if you are a beginner), to choosing music that will inspire you on your level, to improving your technique, ear-training, music reading (if that's what you'd like), reading and understanding tabs (if that's what you'd like), knowing what it is that makes certain chords and notes sound good together for writing your own music, as well as guitar maintenance and adjustments, getting a good tone, amplifier settings, effect pedals (settings & placing them in the most effective order), recording tips, and where to get a decent pizza.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Living Room or Studio, both very comfortable. Amplifiers, guitars, effects pedals, bass, ukulele, balalaika, drum set, PA system and recording equipment.

Hi there, and thanks for viewing my TakeLessons profile! I am excited to be a part of the team in Berkeley, CA.
I started teaching lessons while in music school for Classical Guitar in 1996. From 1998 onwards, I played with a variety of musicians from Africa and Latin America, as well the as great American traditions of gospel, funk, jazz, and bluegrass. All the while, I continued to study music theory and composition, on my own and in private lessons with both well-known players and local professionals. Flamenco and Indian Classical music have also been great interests which I am still involved with.
Though guitar is generally my "go-to" instrument, I often use a MIDI keyboard for composition, and studied/performed on bass for 10 years. The last few years, I have begun to develop my voice as well.
Since 2006, I have been teaching music theory and composition at Ex'pression College in Emeryville. This is a digital production environment for the arts, and my students come from a variety of backgrounds. Some are musicians/aspiring musicians, and some are primarily interested in working with technology; but all are audio enthusiasts and love music!
*** Lesson Details ***
Whether you are a complete beginner or have been playing gigs for years, are very young or old, I have something to offer you!
How we structure lessons depends in part on you and your goals, as well as your learning style. Having taught music for over 15 years, I have a large amount of resources at my disposal, and can either teach from a method book, or a variety of materials, some of which are my own creations.
I also like to use technology as a teaching aid, and can show you how to use your own computer, keyboard, or music production application (garageband, etc) to practice and create music at home. Another thing that I offer is to make recordings of key parts of the lesson, either as an audio or video file, or both. These can be shared with you through email, dropbox, or a flash drive if you bring one along to your lesson.
Please contact TakeLessons if you have any further questions! I look forward to meeting and working with you or your child.
*** Studio Equipment ***
Home studio: Front room with computer station, guitars, music stand. Waiting area with couches and table, and parents can sit in on lessons. Street parking available, no pets.
College: practice rooms and classrooms available with computers and MIDI controllers.
*** Specialties ***
On guitar and bass, I have experience in world music including Africa, Latin America, and Flamenco. I also love American traditional music, including funk, jazz, rock, and gospel. I specialize in teaching music theory and composition, no matter what instrument. Rhythmic concepts applied to any instrument are a favorite topic.
Bass Guitar, Music Theory, Upright Bass
I recently graduated from the Master's of Music program at the San Francisco Conservatory of music. I've played with many orchestras in the bay area including the Berkeley Symphony, Napa Valley Symphony, Stockton Symphony, and more. In my undergrad, most of my playing was in jazz. I've toured Europe (Italy, Switzerland, and France) with a big band in 2007, and performed at Yoshi's. I began on the electric bass in high school, playing in bands and everything from the Beatles to Tool. I also picked up some electric guitar. I've taught double bass annually at La Honda Music Camp as a double bass counselor, and look forward to taking on many students and sharing what I've learned, and what I will continue to learn with them!
*** Lesson Details ***
I am easy to get along with, and I relate very well with students. Lessons are laid back and I tend to make a lot of jokes, but the material itself is rigorous and I expect a great deal of effort. I enjoy sharing musical philosophy, and I believe that private lessons have generally 2 main functions. 1)�For the student to achieve the level of learning how to practice independently from the teacher (and discover their own musical voice), and 2)�(at an advanced level) for the student to learn that specific teacher's approach to musical philosophy and that specific instrument.
My curriculum will vary greatly depending on the needs or wants of the student. For beginners, I might start with exercises/etudes to begin developing fluency or coordination. I will teach how to read music and understand the fundamental building blocks of music theory, and continue depending on the student's interest. The materials depend on the genre and instrument. For more advanced students lessons will be more focused on specific topics (advanced techniques, repertoire, excerpts, theory, auditions, philosophies, etc).
*** Studio Equipment ***
Basses (electrics and uprights), electric guitar, electric keyboard, music stand, amps, other misc. supplies.
*** Travel Equipment ***
Students provide the instrument, music stand, and books or materials which will be discussed.
*** Specialties ***
Orchestral double bass is my highest specialty. My undergrad was mostly in jazz. The longest experience I have is in electric bass playing rock/oldies/etc. I'm well educated in music literacy and analysis.
"Steven is very professional and extremely helpful. He always has a smile on and is serious about helping you phrase the music. I would highly recommend him to anyone."
"It's been really exciting so far! Jordan has been so helpful, so knowledgeable. I could not have found a better instructor and I'm getting better and better every day."
"My daughter's wedding was weeks away and I had never been able to dance a step. With Jenny's help, I came further than ever before in such short time in any subject."

Directed by Tom Shkolnik, the synopsis for The Comedian reads:
Ed is a stand up comedian in his early thirties, he is handsome, charming, witty and lost. Trying to make it on the London comedy circuit, he spends his nights performing in small rooms above pubs and his days making ends meet at a call centre. He lives with Elisa, a beautiful French singer, the two like brother and sister, inseparable, loving and asexual. One day, on a night bus home, Ed meets Nathan, a young black artist, blunt, honest and free. They immediately connect and begin a passionate affair. Suddenly Ed is faced with a choice between his attraction to a man and his love for a woman.
Obviously they're all using their real first names as their characters' names, and judging from the below clip, the filmmaker appears to be going for naturalistic performances, and an ambiance that deliver a kind of neo-neo-realistic work, we could say.
Glad to see Stewart-Jarrett grow beyond the Misfits universe, which is really the only work we really know him for; in recent months, we've highlighted 2 or 3 other non-Misfits projects he's attached to.
I couldn't find a trailer for The Comedian; just this clip.

What a great clip. They have excellent chemistry. I look forward to checking out the film.

Good to see the black kids from Misfits making moves. Nathan and Antonia are making the most of their international acclaim. Next stop-- America?
Liz | November 16, 2012 6:51 PM
Nathans's criminally underused in Misfits, especially this season which is a shame since he has a lot of talent. You should also check out this short film he was in for Channel 4' s 'Coming Up' series called 'Apples & Oranges" it was really good and starred a number of Black British talent.

I have a giant crush on my spinning instructor. He is the best I've ever had, and let me tell you, I've spun around the block a few times. He is hilarious, motivating, and truly movie-star (not just "hot trainer") handsome.
And he looks as good in his bike shorts as he must have in the tux he wore to his wedding.
Oh, and did I mention that I'm also -- blissfully -- married?
So no, I can't exactly picture my instructor and me on a stationary cycle built for two. And honestly, I don't think about him when I'm not at the gym.
But I never, ever miss a spinning class. I am always on time. And when I'm there, I make sure my form is perfect; I spin hard, really hard. Teacher's-pet hard, show-off hard.
And when I come home from a weekend morning spin class, well, let's just say I'm extra-happy to see my husband.
Experts do not say that this kind of crush -- the kind that's your own little secret, the kind you certainly don't act on -- is "harmless." Rather, they say it's better than harmless! Why? Even an inconsequential crush, says Beverly B. Palmer, PhD, professor of psychiatry at California State University Dominguez Hills, "adds a little something extra to your life that is pleasurable and makes you happy -- people see you smiling more!"
People, including your husband. "A crush can remind you of why you fell for him," says Sharyn Wolf, a therapist in private practice in New York City and author of How to Stay Lovers for Life (Penguin USA, 1997).
But shouldn't your husband remind you of your husband? Well, it's not the people so much as the feelings involved, says Wolf. "The crush feelings go through the same synapses in your body, triggering the same bunch of biochemicals," she says. "It's not that this guy reminds you of your partner, it's that the crush reminds you of the way your body responded -- and still does-- with the person you love. And that's when you say to your husband, 'Let's get a sitter.'"
Kristin, 35, of Pittsburgh, had a crush on a higher-up while she was in medical school. Even during -- and after -- long, grueling days in the hospital, "it gave me that nice excited feeling that revved me up when I got home to my then-fiance," she says. "You know: crush leads to sexy feeling, outlet for sexy feeling is sexy fella at home!"
Carol Rinkleib Ellison, PhD, author of Women's Sexualities: Generations of Women Share Intimate Secrets of Sexual Self-Acceptance (New Harbinger Publications, 2000) and a sex and marriage therapist in Oakland, California, agrees. "An innocent crush gives you a little spurt of arousal, or turns up your pilot light -- but you know that's going home to your partner and will enhance the fun you have with your partner."
These crushes are safe because practically the whole point of them is not to act on them. "When you have a crush on someone you are suddenly reminded of your own sensuality. You get that little tingly feeling you don't even want to do anything about. You know you don't actually want to be with this person for real. It's just great to know those feelings are there," says Wolf.
Of course, there are crushes that are not so innocent. How do you know when a crush crosses the line, when one harmless spark becomes playing with fire -- even when nothing "physical" is happening? "A safe crush is one that adds to the relationship in your life. A destructive one is one that may subtract from your relationship," says Palmer. Are you distracted from your squeeze by thoughts of your crush? Do you tell your crush things that you don't tell your husband? Are you with your crush -- even "just talking?" -- when you could be home? In those instances, it's probably time to limit time with Mr. Crush and focus on what's missing for you from your marriage.
But otherwise, having a pleasant secret crush doesn't mean anything is wrong with you or your relationship. "We don't need to be ashamed of these feelings -- we don't even need to fight them," says Ellison.
Rather, you can find ways to incorporate it innocently -- and maybe even a bit sexily -- into your life. "Compartmentalize your crush," says Wolf, and you can let it:
Norine adds: "I also suspect that my fiance has a bit of a crush on someone else I know, who's smart and fun and thinks he's all that."
Hold on! Our partners aren't allowed to have crushes, are they? Well, let's just say that their crushes -- and ours -- are reminders that we are, at very least, human. And actually, says Norine: "I tease him about it a little, but it doesn't make me upset: it's just a reminder that he is all that -- and I'm lucky that we're together."

Rosenthal is reporting that the O's are close to signing Huff.
I'm not sure if I get this signing. Huff is an awful OF which makes 1B/DH more sensible for him but the O's already have two LHs at those two spots. Thus the signing adds depth but if you want to add depth why not add a RH bat (like Wilson) and why spend 18 million dollars? If the O's want to use Huff mostly at LF, then the signing is more sensible but I'm not particularly thrilled with this either. While I like the idea of platooning Payton and Corey at CF, Huff is an awful fielder and I'm afraid his skills might decline. An OPS around .780 from Huff would not suprise me at all which is entirely too little production for his pay.

You won't have Jeffrey Flanagan to kick around anymore
Massive layoffs/buyouts at the Star. I think Flanagan had an easy job, but it still sucks he's outta work. Circuit City is closing its doors in KC, Harold's is going out of business, American Century just announced job cuts, and the GM plant in Fairfax is in deep trouble. Not good times in KC. Save us Dayton Moore, you're our only hope.

Pre-season rolls along with the Raptors in Chicago tonight, it's an 8PM start with no local TV but Comast Sports is carrying the game in Chicago which means there will be a stream. Not sure what the point of the team having it's own TV station is if they can't broadcast their own games when nobody else is caring to.
Sorry in advance if I don't finish this article because my conditioning is totally off, it'll probably take me till mid-November before I can write a grammatically correct sentence but I'll try. We should've taken those early pre-season games more seriously, we could use a couple right now just so Triano can validate whatever he's …Continue Reading

The offseason has started for all but two NBA teams, and a near historical coaching carousel has already ensued. Unfortunately, the Grizzlies find themselves right in the midst of that whirlwind of rumors that never fails to surround a potential coaching change. Since the Grizzlies fell to the Spurs in the Western Conference Finals (sigh), all media attention has been solely focused on Lionel Hollins and the team's coaching situation.
All that is to say that the Grizzlies links this week will be incredibly boring because, frankly, everything has already been said about Lionel Hollins and a potential coaching change that could possibly be said, at least for now. Sorry in advance.
Grizzlies Links
Kickstarter: Pay Lionel Hollins salary: Do you want Alvin Gentry as the Grizzlies next head coach? I didn't think so. Might I suggest heading over to Kickstarter to start a "pay Lionel Hollins contract" project so the Grizzlies won't be doomed to a future with Alvin and the Gentmunks. Okay, terrible jo- Ah come on! Don't leave.
Ramona Shelburne - ESPN.com: Hollins contract talks stalled: Surprise, surprise. A coach and new management group that have not seemed to gel have reached an impasse in contract talks. Honestly, the Grizzlies might draw out this thing long enough where there is just too much bad blood to bring Hollins back. Not saying the Grizzlies are wrong for waiting it out, just saying it is a real possibility.
Sam Amick - USA Today Sports: Griz already talking with George Karl: There is not any legitimate Karl to the Grizzlies talk yet, so don't read too much into this. The Grizzlies simply might be reaching out to hedge their bet in case an agreement cannot be reached with Hollins. Backup plans are always smart. On the other hand, it does not *seem* to bode well for Hollins future in Memphis that the Griz are already reaching out to other coaching candidates.
NBA Links
Jonathan Abrams - Grantland: Chis Bosh; the third banana: Abrams writes a sports story as good or better than anybody else. By the end of his story, he will have you emotionally attached to his subject. This includes his subject in this piece, Chris Bosh. Abrams tells Bosh's story of how he arrived where he is today. Abrams' take is moving, fascinating, and a little sad all at the same time.
Kirk Goldsberry - Grantlan: How the Heat and Spurs Score: Goldsberry is a basketball genius when it comes to portraying a team's strengths and weaknesses by combining statistics with crisp visual images. He might be a genius anyway, seeing as the man studied at Harvard. If you're not a big reader, click on this piece just to look at Goldsberry's graphics. They won't disappoint.
Evanz - Golden State of Mind: Jarret Jack conundrum: Should the Warriors resign Jack or not? Evanz attempts to answer this question using statistics and comparing the Warriors performance when Jack was on and off the court this season. I would not mind seeing Jack in a Grizzlies uniform next season..
Tom Ziller - SB Nation: Busting 11 myths about the NBA Finals: Ziller, as usual, is spot on with these myths. Number three and four specifically stick out to me as true. Many on this site seem to detest Erik Spoelstra and tend to think he just has to stand there and look pretty on the sideline. I do not share the belief. Spoestra is one of the best coaches in the league right now, and if Pop happens to outcoach him, that won't change that fact. If you can't get enough of Ziller's writing, check out his brief piece on the Popovich-Buford coaching tree. It's amazing how many NBA coaches or front office executives that came up under the wing of one these two men.
Joe Posnaski - NBC Sports: Duncan being Duncan: I'm sure you, like many other NBA fans, wonder how in the world Tim Duncan is still performing at such a high level, or still playing at all for that matter. Posnaski breaks down the myth, the man, the legend that is Duncan.
Kotaku - Owen Good: LeBron James graces NBA2K14 cover: Amazingly, after winning four MVP Titles and one NBA Championship among many other accolades, this will be the first time James will be on the cover of NBA 2K.
Have a great weekend, folks!

Bank of England: Economy would have been worse without QE
The Bank of England has said that quantitative easing (QE) has helped the UK avoid an even worse economic battering.
It said:
Without the Bank's asset purchases, most people in the United Kingdom would have been worse off.
Economic growth would have been lower. Unemployment would have been higher. Many more companies would have gone out of business. This would have had a significant detrimental impact on savers and pensioners along with every other group in our society.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
We are very happy with Kyrene de Cielo. While the class size is a bit big - about 26-28 - there are volunteers and teaching assistants. One of our daughters gets taken out of class once a day for a special reading class, as she and about 4-5 kids in her class are so far ahead in reading. We recently adopted a child. The school has been very supportive of us. Our new daughter's teacher prepared her class to include her, including putting procedures in place to help her cope with not understanding English, or not knowing 'the rules'. She also got the kids really excited about how neat it was that our daughter was from another county, so she was quite 'popular' when she first came to class. The teacher also updates us regularly on what is happening with our daughter at school, behaviorally and academically (she usually calls in the evening or weekend). And when we were having some behavioral problems with her, we talked to the Ass't Principle for about a half hour strategizing with her how to handle the problems consistently in the home and school setting. She was extremely responsive and quite flexible in her approach, which we appreciated. The school has over 800 kids in it, and goes up to 5th grade. It includes a special component of classes for deaf kids, offering programs both in sign language and in lip reading. It currently has 4 first grades, which can be very good if your kid is not meshing with the assigned teacher or classroom. The school passes out a questionnaire each Spring asking you to assess your child's learning style, and they try to use this to assign the kids to the teachers. One daughter's teacher is perfect for her because she is young and enthusiastic and all that that daughter really needs is channeling and some attention. And our recently adopted daughter's teacher is perfect for her because she has 20 years of teaching experience, is good at drawing kids out in a motherly sort of way, is pretty structured (though not rigid) and is extremely patient. We know we are missing some things by not being in a charter or private school (and we may look at a charter school as it gets towards middle school time, because of the academics); but we have also gained from being in a public school. The teachers and administration have been responsive to kids with unique issues. And we know we are getting much better services for our recently adopted daughter than most charter schools could/would provide. All of the teachers and staff are very dedicated and concerned with learning. We are very impressed witrh the school and am very happy that we live in the Kyrene district.
Kyrene Del Cielo has excellent teachers, an outstanding music curriculum and a great Principal. Our 3 children are currently attending Kyrene Del Cielo, and I highly recommend this school.
This is the most professionally run school - - the principle and her staff treat kids and families like valued customers!

Dr. Reddy's began as an API manufacturer in 1984, producing high-quality APIs to first the Indian, and later, the international markets. In 1987, we started our formulations operations and, after becoming a force to reckon with in the Indian formulations market, went international in 1991.
Today, our value proposition to our customers derives from an optimal operating system in which operations, product development and marketing & sales are fully integrated. Operations and the supply chain are aligned to ensure high availability, pull based replenishment of products at the retail level and superior inventory turns to our customers. This advantage is combined with a highly effective prescription generation detailing effort.
A field force of over 2700 motivated and knowledgeable representatives supported by an integrated network of back-end services and armed with handheld devices for quick information access add value to every customer call and interaction.
Dr. Reddy's - India today is more than a 200 million dollar venture with presence in almost all major therapeutic areas. Our finished dosage business in India started in 1986 with launch of Norilet (norfloxacin). Our market penetration through nearly 3000 sales force who connect to more than 3,00,000 doctors on a regular basis has yielded us reaching all corners of the country and providing affordable and innovative medicines in all major therapeutic areas like gastro-intestinal, oncology, pain management, cardiovascular, dermatology, diabetes, etc. Eight of our brands feature in the top-300 brands in India that include drugs like Stamlo, Reditux, Omez and Ketorol.
Alongside the presence of end-to-end pharmaceutical capabilities within the organization helps us cater customer and patient needs much more effectively. Medicines like for any other geography, we manufacture at our USFDA approved finished dosage facility with utmost importance on quality and efficacy of the drugs.
Recently we have deepened our focus into the rural markets in India to ensure the expansion of our reach. In this initiative we have collaborated with our CSR wing, Dr. Reddy's Foundation to help us reach the millions who are still away from effective treatment and availability of the right medicines. Apart from manufacturing and distribution of medicines we also provide patient care through our various initiatives like Sparsh, Life at your Doorstep, etc. (where patients are given free treatment and medicines), and educate and create awareness among healthcare professionals through DRFHE to cater to the millions who are in need of proper treatment across the country.

Practical Machine Learning: Innovations in Recommendation
Publisher: O'Reilly
Released: August 2014
Building a simple but powerful recommendation system is much easier than you think. This report explains innovations that make machine learning practical for business production settings—and demonstrates how even a small-scale development team can design an effective large-scale recommender. The style of the report makes this subject approachable for all levels of expertise.
Authors Ted Dunning and Ellen Friedman walk you through a design that relies on "careful simplification." You'll learn how to collect the right data, analyze it with an algorithm from the Apache Mahout library, and then easily deploy the recommender using search technology with Apache Solr. This powerful and effective combination is efficient: it does learning offline and delivers rapid response recommendations in real time.
