Before the Festivities get started I thought I'd gauge the general sentiment of the STR population. We are basically getting served leftovers today but leftovers aren't always a bad thing. I'm 100% Wall won't be available at 5 and 99% sure that Turner won't be available at 5. I'm also 100% sure that if Cousins( or Favors) is available at 5 that big will be our pick.
In the a scenario where Johnson, Monroe and Whiteside (the to only other person that Petire might be crazy enough to take at 5) are left who do you want?

A father is grieving after finding his missing son's body in a parked truck in a parking lot in Findlay.
Thirty-nine year-old Brian Domanski, also known as Shaggy, was last heard from on his father's birthday January 3rd. He left for work in his truck and was never heard from again.
Domanski lived in Toledo, but commuted to work in Columbus Grove and maintained an apartment in Ottawa for his job.
When he didn't hear from his son for over a week, Domanski's father Dan reported him missing to Toledo Police on January 13. Police looked around Domanski's Toledo residence, but didn't find anything suspicious.
Friends and family appealed to help for the public through social media. But Dan Domanski and his wife continued his search into Findlay. He spotted his son's car in a parking lot near the McDonald's on Trenton Avenue and found Brian slumped at the wheel.
His father was shocked. "I never even imagined he'd be in there. People parked right next to him and they never seen him and I was amazed. When I seen him there, you know my heart was done."
Relatives like his cousin Dave Stasko have questions. "Was he there for the full 10 days? If he was then, didn't anybody notice that the truck's been sitting there?"
Domanski's relatives are devastated. They say his sudden disappearance was unlike him and with the recent bad weather, they were worried about his safety.
Stasko says, "Did he just die? We have aneurysms in the family. He could've possibly had that.
Findlay Police say Domanski's body was taken to the Lucas County Coroner's Office to Determine the cause of death.
Autopsy results are still pending and the family is still waiting for answers.

Fan and media reaction came swift when Jay Cutler sat on the bench for most of the second half of Sunday's NFC Championship Game between the Chicago Bears and the Green Bay Packers. The Bears' medical staff escorted Cutler off the field before the end of the first half; and, after a single, futile drive to open the third quarter, Coach Lovie Smith made the decision to play backup Todd Collins. (Collins would subsequently injure his shoulder, necessitating the use of third-string emergency quarterback Caleb Hanie.) Twitter erupted with accusations about Cutler's ability to play through pain, his leadership skills, and his willingness to assist his understudy on the sidelines.
The Bears' decision to withhold information about Cutler's prognosis didn't help matters. FOX cameras showed the Bears' medical staff looking at the quarterback's knee on the sidelines, leaving fans and media to speculate on the severity, if any, of the injury. Further shots of the sideline caught Cutler riding a stationary bike and standing upright, providing enough evidence for Monday-morning doctors to conclude that Cutler wasn't so much injured as he was giving up on his team.
Criticism came from all corners. The usual ESPN talking heads chalked this up as further proof that Cutler isn't a "winner." Current and former NFL stars derided Cutler for letting his team down in the biggest game of the year, and made sure to remind us that they would have to be taken off on stretchers to keep them from playing. And, in a particularly embarrassing moment for Chicagoans, members of the understanding and compassionate Bears fanbase took to burning Cutler jerseys outside of Soldier Field after the game.
Of course, the Bears revealed on Monday that Cutler suffered a grade II sprain (i.e. tear) of his MCL. While the injury alone is sufficient enough to hamper an athlete's ability to throw a football or elude the likes of Clay Matthews, allowing Cutler to play would have put him at serious risk of cascading injuries (specifically to the ACL), if not further damaging the MCL.
At this point you're probably asking yourself, "Yeah, OK. I get what you're saying, but what does this have to do with MMA?"
Remember when Cain Velasquez left Brock Lesnar's beard a new shade of red? Remember when the Undertaker exploited an Ariel Helwani interview to shoot an angle? Remember when Vince McMahon offered Lesnar a spot at Wrestlemania? And remember when Dave Meltzer speculated about Brock's motivation to continue fighting (quote via MixedMartialArts.com)?
Quote and Brock Lesnar's "fighting spirit" after the jump.
Meltzer said on his radio show that the fight with Velasquez has changed Brock's attitude on fighting and he is at the stage in his life where he doesn't want to get injured. He's very well off financially and the business man in him apparently knows that it may be time to move on.
Meltzer also mentioned that Brock hasn't trained a single day since the Velasquez fight nor he has returned any phone calls to Dana or Zuffa about upcoming matches.
Dave pointed out if Brock was motivated, he would be right back in the gym training and bringing in new coaches with the goal of beating Cain yet he isn't doing that. He's hunting and hasn't even thought about his next fight. Lesnar apparently wants to do WrestleMania "badly" and will earn an estimated 2 million dollars for 30 minutes of work.
Meltzer later said that he never claimed that Brock wouldn't fight again and that his statements had been "blown out of proportion," but the meme that Lesnar had lost his "fighting spirit" grew to the size of Tetsuo Shima in the Neo-Tokyo Stadium.
Fight Opinion's Zack Arnold was quick to climb up and shout from the rooftops:
One of the stories that I've longed warned everyone about is the career of Brock Lesnar in the UFC. We know his history - he does something for a little while, makes some money or fame, and moves on before he gets completely exposed and runs out of sugar daddies willing to recruit him into something else. In many ways, he reminds me of having the spirit of Bruiser Brody (look him up on Google, non-wrestling fans) leaving one place after another before his welcome is warn out. Lesnar was in WWE for a few years, then he went to try out for the Minnesota Vikings, then he went to New Japan, and eventually ended up in UFC.
At first, there were indications Lesnar would get back in the swing of things quickly. Then, he decided to take a break for hunting season. ... It's a game that Dana White wants no part of. However, Mr. White should have thought of this when he signed Lesnar in the first place to a contract.
Brock Lesnar is who we thought he was - and we've been saying it for many, many years on Fight Opinion. In fact, since day one this site was created.
The funny thing about this sort of "I told you so" talk? No one bothered to hear Brock Lesnar's side of it. Here's what Lesnar told Yahoo!'s Kevin Iole at the the Ultimate Fighter media day:
"That thing just took on a life of its own," Lesnar said of the WrestleMania rumors. "I'm a fighter. There wasn't anything there. I never pursued anything, no."
"When I go dark, people have to talk about something," Lesnar said. "I don't have any control over that, nor do I really care. I'm just glad they're still talking about me. It's a funny thing. I go sit in my deer shack or my fish house and you guys (in the media) still talk about me and I don't even have to say a word."
"I have one thing in my mind for this whole thing, which is to help these kids and to improve their lives," Lesnar said. "More importantly, it's an opportunity for me to get down here and train and it's an opportunity for me to get my title back sooner rather than later. When I beat dos Santos, then I get a rematch with Velasquez and I get my (expletive) belt back. That's the way I'm looking at this."
Those don't seem like the words of a man looking for a way out of his fighting career.
It will be interesting to see if the stigma of the winter speculation will follow Lesnar through the television show and his fight with dos Santos. While everyone from his coach to his third-string backup have defended him, people are now trying to "catch" Cutler climbing up stairs or "walking at a brisk pace" as signs that Cutler's injury has been conjured to some degree. Roy Nelson kicked things off with his Ultimate Fighter conspiracy theory. Should we expect reports of Lesnar practicing the shooting star press in training?

Ear Candling
Research Spotlight
The databases often return HUNDREDS of medical studies for a single therapy/approach. So this section "spotlights" just five - providing a taste of the research available. They were not selected because they are "best," but to provide an introduction to the more extensive research you'll uncover at the 4 databases.
- A London hospital review concludes there is no evidence that ear candling is effective (for de-waxing, sinusitis, colds, flu, migraines, poor hearing, etc.) – and can actually cause serious damage. Access this research on Ear Candling
- A review in Canadian Family Physician confirms ear candling's mechanism of action remains unverified; no evidence exists that it's effective for any condition; and it's associated with considerable risk. Access this research on Ear Candling
- A review in American Family Physician (of effective treatments for earwax impaction) concludes ear candling does not remove wax - and actually leads to complications like occlusion of the ears with candle wax, burns and tympanic membrane perforation. Access this research on Ear Candling
- A UK "Clinical Knowledge Summary" finds ear candling should never be used, and cites a survey of 122 otolaryngologists identifying 21 injuries resulting from its usage. Access this research on Ear Candling

By SHELBY BAKER6 News Reporter
MADISONVILLE (WATE) -- Stephanie Alton was shocked when she saw cell phone video of her son, Michael, being attacked by another student in shop class.
"It's so painful as a mother to see something like that."
But she says what's more upsetting is that the Sequoyah High School teacher wasn't even in the room when it happened.
"I was told there were 21 students in the class and that they were working on four different sites on campus and the teacher couldn't be in all places at the same time," Alton says.
She says she tried to get the school to take responsibility for the March 3 incident, but when that didn't happen, she hired Maryville attorney Kevin Shepherd.
"Unfortunately sometimes the only way you can get a person to take things serious is to ask for money, so we are suing for a total of $750,000," Shepherd says.
He says the lawsuit isn't just about a school fight.
"The concern by my client and others is that the school does not take supervision as seriously as it needs to. Teachers leaving students unsupervised, particularly in high risk areas such as a shop class with ladders, power tools, etc."
Shepherd is also concerned about how the incident was handled by the school resource officer.
According to the complaint, the officer told students who recorded the fight with their cell phone cameras to erase it.
"It's very concerning to me that evidence of this significance would be destroyed or told to be deleted by someone in authority."
Alton says the student who instigated the fight was suspended for five days and then let back in some of the same classes as her son.
The victim's injuries included trauma to the head, which his mother says he still suffers from.
6 News contacted the Monroe County School Board vice chairman who says because this is pending litigation, he can't comment.

After more than 35 years, motocross races in Southwick could become a thing of the past.
This Saturday's Lucas Oil Pro Motocross Championship may be the final professional event at the town's track, known as Motocross 338. The American Motorcyclist Association, and the track's promoter, Ralph Pittello, could not come to an agreement on future races.
Pittello says the track will continue to host the rest of this season's amateur events.
The American Legion post's executive board told CBS 3 media partner MassLive.com and The Republican that it is working to hire new track managers, and will try to bring the event back in 2014.

Welcome to a new feature on this blog, which will be five weekly questions about Tiger basketball followed by my answers. Here we go.
1) Will the Tigers overlook IUPUI?
Answer: Probably, to some degree. It's just the nature of dealing with college athletes. Though IUPUI will be a good team in the Summit League, there's no bigger game on the schedule than Tennessee, and it will be hard for the Tigers to put their focus completely on IUPUI. But that doesn't give them an excuse for playing poorly. This game was scheduled to be a tuneup for Tennessee following the Christmas break, and it's important for Memphis to start playing well leading up to New Year's Eve.
2) Will Bruce Pearl say something ridiculous about the rivalry with Memphis?
Answer: There's no doubt. Pearl has said in recent years that playing Memphis isn't a rivalry game and that the SEC rivalries like Kentucky, Vanderbilt and Florida are more important. Hilarious. Leading up to last season's meeting, even Pearl's players broke from the script and declared Memphis as the biggest game of the year. (Of course, that shouldn't be a surprise - Pearl's players don't seem to listen to him on the court, so why would they do it with their media comments?) The fact is, this is a huge game for both Memphis and Tennessee players and fans. Pearl trying to minimize it only makes him look silly.
3) Will the Memphis-UT game impact recruiting battles in the city?
Answer: Nope. Once upon a time, Pearl had grand plans. From his point of view (as an outsider who came from the Northeast and coached in the Midwest), Tennessee is the state university and as the coach there he should be able to come into the state's best basketball city and get players. Of course, it doesn't quite work like that, and the fact that Josh Pastner went 3-0 against Pearl on players from Memphis in this recruiting cycle was a powerful statement. In 99 out of 100 cases, Tennessee isn't going to beat Memphis head-to-head on a Memphis kid that Memphis really wants, and the reasons for that have been re-hashed here and elsewhere ad nauseum. The more interesting angle is that Tennessee -- after camping out in Memphis ever since Pearl got the job -- has been making a quiet retreat from the recruiting scene here. Many of my contacts in grassroots basketball here have told me that Tennessee's staff barely communicates with them anymore. Yes, UT will still come in here and try to get players. But they now realize that to get a player who will help them win in the SEC, it has to be someone Memphis can't fit in. After all the time and money UT has spent here with nothing to show for it, Pearl can't afford to double down.
4) When will Will Coleman snap back to life?
Answer: With Coleman, you have to accept that he's more like a freshman than a seasoned junior college player. He hasn't played basketball for very long, and he's got a ways to go to understand not just how to play but how to prepare himself for games. But the Tigers need him to be good, and he wasn't even close to playing at that level against UMass and SEMO. Not only did he get out-toughed by smaller players, but his body language was extremely negative. He looked like he needed a break. He came back Saturday and had a good practice, which seems like a positive development. But this is certainly a week where a lot of questions about Coleman should be answered.
5) Will UAB fans continue bashing me for my comments on the Blazers?
Answer: That's a certainty. I have no idea where this whole thing got started that I'm anti-UAB. In fact, the opposite is true. I've said it a million times -- for C-USA to be a truly competitive national conference, UAB has to be one of the top three programs and an NCAA Tournament quality team year in and year out. Plus, it's just more fun when UAB and Memphis have a heated, competitive rivalry. Now, have I disagreed with the way Mike Davis has done some things there? Absolutely, and I think the results over his tenure have proven me correct. UAB has played great ball this year, and I'm glad they have. I still don't think this roster, player for player, is among the best 3-4 in the league. It remains to be seen how much of UAB's success so far has been driven by the schedule. The Blazers won two big games at home, where they haven't lost to anyone but Memphis the last few years. I think a few teams in C-USA could have won those home games. But maybe UAB really is the best team in the league. There's a lot of basketball left. And I shouldn't be blamed for my pick of UAB to finish 9th in the preaseason. When I talked to Mike Davis in the summer, his comment to me was that he knew the Blazers wouldn't finish last. That wasn't much of an endorsement.

The first documented seroconversion to HIV from an occupational exposure occurred in the UK. Following this surveillance of healthcare workers (HCWs) was initiated in 1984. From the first of July 1997 an enhanced surveillance system was launched for England, Wales and Northern Ireland by the Health Protection Agency Centre for Infections (HPA CfI). Health Protection Scotland started the equivalent for Scotland. Reports are sent voluntarily and confidentially from occupational health departments, genitourinary medicine (GUM) clinics, microbiologists, virologists and infection control nurses. Exposures to HIV, hepatitis C (HCV), hepatitis B (HBV), and where the source status is unknown but the HCW starts HIV PEP, are included.
National surveillance of occupational exposure to bloodborne viruses in healthcare workers - Information Sheet
The HPA CfI seeks to monitor the transmission of HIV, HCV and HBV from patients to health care workers. We need your help to record all cases of significant occupational exposure to the blood or body fluid from patients who are anti-HIV positive, anti-HCV positive, or HBsAg positive.
One of the main aims is to assess the numbers of health care workers being exposed to these viruses. We therefore need accurate data about all significant occupational exposures which are, incidents of percutaneous exposure (where the skin has been cut or penetrated by a needle or other sharp object) or mucocutaneous exposure (contamination of the mouth, nose, eyes or non intact skin) with blood or other body fluids involving patients known, or subsequently found to be, infected with HIV, HCV, or HepBsAg. We would also ask you to report all incidents where post exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for HIV has been commenced whatever the HIV status of the source is.
The initial report form (A4 size) consists of two pieces of self carbonated paper. The top copy (perforated for removal) should be returned to the HPA CfI HIV and Sexually Transmitted Infections Department at the address on the base of the form. The second sheet (not perforated) should be retained for your records. The card is for use between sets of forms to prevent multiple copies being made.
The Unique Incident Identifier must be completed by your department. The code will be used to protect the anonymity of the health care worker involved. It should be a code which will enable you to relocate details of the incident and person involved. If we should require further information about a particular incident we will refer to your cases only by the Unique Incident Identifier.
We wish to assess the circumstances contributing to significant occupational exposures. The clinical management of those exposures, including in the case of HIV patients, whether the health care worker had post exposure prophylaxis, what the side effects were and the outcomes. A six-week follow-up form and a six-month one will be sent to you to gather these data.
This surveillance has been funded by the Health and Safety Executive, and Department of Health. We have been receiving reports from hospitals in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland, mainly through their occupational health departments. Every report is important to the surveillance.

H. H. Holmes: Master of Illusion
Good Instinct
He then went to the smaller outlying towns, going through them as systematically as he had done in Indianapolis. Then, in Irvington, he struck pay dirt. A man who had rented a house in October remembered Holmes because his manner was so rude and abrupt. And he recalled that a boy had been with this irascible short-term tenant. Relieved and certain that he was at the end of the trail, Geyer proceeded to the rental property.
There was no disturbance in the floor of the cellar that he could find, which discouraged him at first, but there was a trunk in a small alcove, and near it some disturbed dirt. Geyer dug into the area but found nothing. In a barn, he found a coal stove, and remembering Holmes' earlier purchase of a large stove which he'd then abandoned, Geyer suspected that this was a clue. On top were stains that looked like dried blood. By telegram, Mrs. Pitezel identified the trunk as her's.
Geyer left the place but returned when he heard there was news. A doctor who had poked around showed him pieces of a charred bone — part of a skull and a femur — that he said had belonged to a male child. They had found it in a pipe hole in the chimney. Geyer dismantled the chimney and found more human remains — a complete set of teeth and a piece of jaw, identified by a dentist as being from a boy seven to ten-years-old. "At the bottom of the chimney," Geyer recorded, "was found quite a large charred mass, which upon being cut, disclosed a portion of the stomach, liver and spleen, baked quite hard. The pelvis of the body was also found." Plenty of witnesses had seen Holmes back in October when he was there and identified him from the photograph that Geyer carried. One man even recalled helping him to install the stove.
Convinced he had finally, albeit tragically, found Howard Pitezel, and having it confirmed by other clues, Geyer "enjoyed the best night's sleep" that he'd had in two months. The search for truth had finally reached satisfaction. It was now August 27, fully two months after he'd left on this journey, and five weeks since he'd found Howard's unfortunate sisters.
On September 12, Holmes was indicted by a grand jury for the murder of Benjamin Pitezel. He entered a plea of not guilty and his trial date was scheduled for October 28. Even as he adopted a pretense for the court, people were learning much more about him in Chicago. Holmes, it seemed, had quite a list of murders to his name.

Courtesy BMW
But this year, New York is going to be home to some very significant reveals. What should you expect?
- Lincoln, which unveiled a concept version of its next MKZ in Detroit, will be showing the production ready car. The new model is expected to have a simply ginormous panoramic roof.
- Beleaguered electric car maker Fisker is unveiling its second production car, a more affordable model called Atlantic. We will have liveshots and full details on the car this evening after Fisker's reveal event.
- The 2013 Nissan Altima will be there. Exciting? Nissan's sister company, Infiniti, will also have an electric luxury concept.
- BMW just chopped the top on its electric i8 Concept to create the breathtaking i8 Spyder (above). The press release makes no mention of the car being in New York...but the timing makes us think it will be there.
- Most importantly, the Corvette may no longer be the top dog in American performance cars after Wednesday. And that is because Chrysler is finally taking the wraps off the all-new Viper. From the teasers we've shown you, it looks pretty awesome. There's a small refresher below:
DriveSRT Facebook Page
In addition, we will be running around the city over the next three days to a number of manufacturer preview events and we'll have a shot behind the wheel of the brand new 2013 Ford Escape.

Meet the Scorpion Light, the Revolutionary LED that You Can Mount Literally Anywhere
At this point, there should be little doubt that LED's are going to play a crucial role in the future of film and video production, especially considering their benefits over traditional lighting technologies. It should also come as no surprise that we now have the ability to light with smaller fixtures as our cameras become more and more sensitive. It follows that small LED fixtures will be an essential tool for discerning cinematographers as time rolls on. A new company called Blind Spot Gear is taking this concept to a whole new level with the Scorpion Light, a tiny, high-intensity/high-CRI LED that can be easily modified and mounted anywhere (and I mean anywhere). Read on to see what all of the fuss is about. More »
Lighting for Matching Closeups: A Spectacular Lighting Workshop with Danish DP Eric Kress
There are few educational resources for cinematographers that are as rock-solid as the various publications, blogs, and podcasts from the American Society of Cinematographers. Last time we checked in with the ASC, we heard a podcast interview with Phedon Papamichael about his work shooting Alexander Payne's delightful black and white road film, Nebraska. This time, accomplished Danish cinematographer Eric Kress DFF, (who shot the fantastic Swedish version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo) walks us through his approach to shooting matched closeups in this excellent workshop from Gokinema & thefilmbook.

The Art of Shaping Light: A Brief Guide to Using Flags to Add Contrast to Your Scene
Lighting is complicated, to say the very least. While there a numerous things that make lighting difficult, one of the most overwhelming aspects of lighting is just how many different tools there are. Without a practical knowledge of the various tools at your disposal and how to use them to sculpt light, your lighting can never reach its full potential. However, breaking the process down into small pieces and learning one tool at a time can make it far more manageable. Today, we'll look at one of the most underrated and under-utilized lighting tools, the flag. More »
Lighting Like a Pro: Using Bounced and Natural Light to Stunning Effect
Lighting on location is almost always a challenge for one reason or another. Sometimes it's difficult or impossible to rig lights in the places you really need them. Other times, power management and distribution prove to be problematic. More often than not, however, the most irritating part of lighting on location is that there just isn't enough space to light with traditional studio methods, which forces you to improvise. I ran into such a situation recently when shooting a screen test for an up-and-coming Denver actress named Emma Moody. With 15 square feet of space, two high-powered LED's, a little bit of natural light, and a MacGuyver-esque mindset, we managed to get it done. Here's how. More »
Turning a Single Light into Multiple Sources: An Advanced Lighting Tutorial from 'The Slanted Lens'
Lighting is hard. Lighting with limited resources is even harder. Therefore, using a single light to create multiple sources in order to light a subject and the background in one fell swoop should be impossible, right? Wrong. Through a combination of careful light placement and using various types of bounces, mirrors, and other light modifiers, you can create some absolutely stunning results with just a few tools and on a shoestring budget. Here are the fine folks at The Slanted Lens to show you how: More »
Introducing Strahlen: Professional LED Lights for Indie Filmmakers, Plus an Interview with Founder Andy Waplinger
These days, we seem to be at the beginning of an LED lighting revolution, and the future of the technology is certainly bright (dah-dun-chhh). However, the LED lighting solutions that are currently available on the market are either cheaply built, really difficult to modify, or they're just insanely expensive. Last year, Andy Waplinger, a freelance filmmaker out of San Diego, set out to create the perfect LED light for low-budget and professional filmmakers alike. He created Strahlen, and the company's first product, the ST-100, a ruggedly simplistic, yet incredibly powerful LED light is now available. I recently talked with Andy about the creation of these lights. Read on to see what Strahlen's all about. More »
Arri's Free Photometrics App Might Be Your New On-Set Lighting Dictionary
Lighting, whether we like it or not, is a highly technical craft. Even though it isn't necessary to know the amount of footcandles or lux that a light gives off at a certain distance, or how a light's CRI will affect the final image, in order to light a shot effectively, you can bet that the most discerning cinematographers and their gaffers are absolutely thinking about those technical characteristics when they light. Even though that type of information can be intimidating for beginning (and even intermediate) filmmakers, Arri's new Photometrics app puts all of it right at your fingertips: More »
Masterclass in Lighting from Oscar-Winning Cinematographer Dean Semler
Over the past few weeks, we've talked about lighting a few different times. First we shared a perspective on lighting Hollywood films from renowned gaffer, John Higgins. Then we wrote up a post about methods for improving your daytime exterior lighting. All of these posts have some helpful information, but lighting is such an expansive craft that it takes constant study and practical application to improve your skills.

Here Are a Few Simple Tips to Make Your Exterior Lighting Shine
It's one of the clear-cut signs of amateur filmmaking: daytime exteriors that look terrible. This usually manifests itself in the form of harsh, blown out areas on the face of your talent, or as overly flat images in which there's no separation of foreground from background. Avoiding these exterior lighting maladies doesn't require an immaculate understanding of light, however. It just takes a basic understanding of a few simple concepts that are easy to put into practice. Read on to find out what these concepts are and how to start incorporating them into your work. More »
Shane Hurlbut's Kino Flo Interviews: 'In Order to Be a Great Shooter, You Have to Understand Light'
There are several exciting new lighting revolutions in development these days, namely LED and plasma fixtures. The first such high-output/low-footprint alternative lighting technology — all but perfected for the performance needed in high-end film production — came about twenty-five years ago, with the advent of Kino Flo Lighting Systems. Kino Flo isn't the only manufacturer pushing alternative lighting solutions with filmmaking in mind, but its name is still nearly synonymous with the technology it helped revolutionize. Check out an excellent interview below from Shane Hurlbut, ASC, with Kino Flo founder and president Frieder Hochheim to hear about how it all began and about how the company plans on lending its namesake to some of those new revolutions in lighting, too.

Since I am an aspiring film critic, it came as a shock when I discovered my idol Roger Ebert had passed away at the age of 70 on April 4, due to cancer.
When the snow begins to fall I get an unbelievably warm tingly feeling that reminds me why it's my favorite season. The cold crisp air may turn my nose red, but fresh smells of winter are hard to resist.
Making Valentine's Day less corny is possible, but would you remember the holiday if it wasn't?

"Nervous" and "anxious" were some of the words voters used Tuesday morning after casting their ballots at Lake Forest City Hall, one of the city's polling sites.
On Election Day in Lake Forest, voters cited track records, trust and taxes among their reasons for casting their ballots. By early morning, the City Hall polling place had a line of voters wrapping around the building. Much like the nation, a random sampling of local voters showed a divided electorate.
Lake Forest resident and accountant Wesley Hatem, 33, said he spent the campaign season gleaning information about President Barack Obama and Republican challenger Mitt Romney from a variety of sources.
"I like to watch every single possible thing I can get my hands on," he said.
Hatem—a registered Republican—said he was not fond of either presidential candidate. He said he ended up casting a vote for Obama because, Hatem said, the president was more straightforward about his positions than his Republican opponent.
"You have to be transparent," Hattem said. "Romney presented ridiculous responses to legitimate questions. He should've focused more on substance."
Lake Forest resident Michele Hanno said voting left her feeling "great, but still a little nervous." The Romney supporter said she felt the Republican candidate would stand up for "family values" and "morals."
"I need a change from the last four years," Hanno added.
Hanno brought along her 3-year-old son Jamie to the polls. The toddler wore a T-shirt listing the names of all the presidents through 2001, and was the proud recipient of Hanno's "I Voted" sticker.
Lake Forest resident Lisa Hall said she was "anxious for the results" of the presidential race after casting a ballot for Obama.
"I don't think he's been given a fair shot," Hall said. "I think it takes a long time to make change in this country ... he's up against so many things. He's had a hard time."
Voter Bill Stanavich said it's Romney turn to try and fix the country's problems.
"(Obama) just didn't have the right people around him," the longtime Lake Forest resident said.
Stanavich, who is originally from Massachusetts, said the Republican candidate's track record in that state shows he can be an effective leader.
"Most of my family (in Massachusetts) is going to vote for him," he said. "They thought he did a good job for the state (as governor), and they think he will do the same as president."
Andrea Aragon, 27, said her vote went to Obama because he has "really helped us get back on track" post-recession.
"I just don't believe in Mitt Romney," she added.
Aragon said she spent about two weeks going through each of the California propositions to decide how she would vote.
"You really have to read through and figure out if you want to pay more taxes," she said. "There are things I want to vote for ... but I want to keep as much money as I can in my household too."
Tough budgetary times must play a factor with voters, even with regards to laudable legislative proposals, she said.
"Sometimes (the money) just isn't there," she said.
Still, Aragon voted in favor of Proposition 30, which would increase taxes on earnings over $250,000 for seven years and sales taxes by ¼ cent for four years to fund schools.
When City Hall doors were opened to voters at 7 a.m., the line had already begun to wrap around the building, city staffers said.
Lake Forest voting sites were expected to be busy Tuesday, based on analysis of historical turnout, according to the county Registrar of Voters. The Registrar encouraged voters who could to cast their ballot between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. to avoid peak times.

SOUTH Tyneside winter wonder Amanda Lightfoot was off target in her first shot at Olympic glory.
The former St Wilfrid's RC Primary School took part in the energy-sapping 7.5km sprint biathlon competition today, which combines cross country skiing skills with shooting prowess.
A top 60 performance would have earned her a place in Tuesday's 10km pursuit, which mixes four bouts of shooting as well as complete a longer course.
But her finishing time of 24 minutes and 48.9 seconds in front of a packed crowd in Sochi was only good enough to cross the line 75th out of 84 competitors.
But the talented 27-year-old's Olympic dream isn't over just yet, as she will compete in the 15km individual race on Friday.
Amanda, who only took up the unique sport while serving with the army in Iraq, has been making the most of her Russian adventure.
She tweeted after Friday's Opening Ceremony: "Wow!!! What an opening ceremony and the best moment of my life so far.
"Walking on that stage in front of thousands of people .
"So proud to be representing Team GB !!!"
Look out for a full report will be in Monday's Shields Gazette.

Microsoft Surface Pro
Reviewed by abc84211 (Currently owns)
I got the 128GB Surface Pro. This machine is everything I thought it would be: Great. A solid 9.
Design: The tablet feels solid and the perimeter venting is a genius. The fans are whisper quiet and are only really audible when playing games. My only main annoyance is the connection to the power supply. It's not as easy to align as the magsafe. Often I had to look in order to connect the power instead of it just clicking into place when I got it close. My screen also has one small point at the top that wasn't fully glued in, so it creaks a bit when I press on it. I give Microsoft the benefit of the doubt on this, since this is probably an isolated issue.
Display: Gorgeous even when I lowered the resolution down to 1366*768. Due to the high pixel density, small screen, and cleartype technology, it is hard to notice that the machine is not running at native resolution. The viewing angles is one of the best I've seen for a display.
Battery Life: If you are just doing basic word processing, you can get 5+ hours of batter life. With wifi turned off, you might get a bit more. With more regular based usage of working + surfing, you get around 3.5-4 ish hours. If you are running a game (pokemon emulation in my case), you get around 2 hours of batter life. Bluetooth was always off in all these tests.
Keyboard: I got the type cover and it is great to type on. Obviously it is not as comfortable as a full sized keyboard, but I can type at maximum speed. The trackpad is at best average, but you can always touch the screen or use the pen instead. Otherwise a portable mouse can't hurt. It's possible to type on your lap but you have to sit straight. However, keystrokes sometimes do not register since the keyboard moves up and down slightly with each keypress (rare).
Performance: Compared to tablets running on arm based architecture, it is a no brainer and is way faster. However, compared to regular i5 and i7 cores, there are times when slight performance hiccups are noticeable. For example, things slowed down slightly when I was running Firefox, Notepad++, Eclipse, and a screen sharing session through Skype (CPU and RAM both got pegged a bit)
Pen: Great addition and one of the main reason why I got the Surface Pro. It works really well in One Note, which is all I use now for note taking. It still needs drivers updates since not all programs have been updated to take advantage of it. For example, the eraser doesn't work in paint. The only issue is that the dot isn't as accurate when the pen is held at a 45 degree angle. A shorter nib or software update should fix this.
Overall: Great for university students and people in IT.

From its headwaters near Bloomington, Illinois, the Sangamon River flows through the cities of Decatur and Springfield on its way to meet the Illinois River. The Upper Sangamon River Watershed covers about 1425 square miles. The Lake Decatur dam, built in the early 1920s, impounds the Sangamon to create a lake used for recreation and the city's domestic and industrial water supply. The watershed area upstream of the dam is about 925 square miles.
Decatur businessman A. E. Staley played a significant early role in transforming the agricultural landscape of Central Illinois and much of the Corn Belt when his company opened a "plant for grinding and extracting the oil from the soya bean" in 1922.
Caterpillar, Inc. (CAT) and the Agricultural Watershed Institute (AWI) are conducting a multi-year joint project to demonstrate production of perennial prairie grasses and forbs for bioenergy on property owned by CAT in Decatur, Illinois. Learn more at our Prairie for Bioenergy page.

Question: Did factors other than drugs contribute to Elvis Presley's death?
Answer: Many have pointed to Elvis Presley's prodigious eating habits -- consuming pounds of greasy, fatty foods at one sitting, including his infamous fried peanut-butter-and-banana sandwiches -- as possible contributing factors in his death. However, Elvis' own personal physician, Dr. George Nichopoulos, has stated that the singer had no evidence of cardiovascular disease at the time of death (even though it would have been personally advantageous to make such a claim), and the autopsy bears him out. Although over 40, Elvis had only been putting on weight for seven years or so, and life-threatening cardiovascular disease would have been an anomaly.
We do know that Presley suffered from an elarged colon from his bad dietary habits, however, as well as suffering from the onset of glaucoma and a chronic insomnia that had followed him around for years. Recent medical analysis suggests Elvis may have also suffered from rheumatoid arthritis, about which more is known today. None of these conditions, together or separately, could have been considered a real threat to Presley's life.

Here is my card for the second April Viva la Verve challenge; I chose the second inspiration photo and focused mainly on the rug. It was so colorful!
I used a few Verve sets for this card: Wishful Elegance, Let It Shine, and Leaves. Once I stamped all the elements in the colors found in the rug, I added the layered paper flower. I love the unusual mix of colors and the super simple layout! I opted to use alot of "off white" space since that was the color of the walls in the room.

The Logitech Bluetooth keyboard case for the Tab S 10.5 is a compact way to add an extra level of protection to your slate, but the build quality of the keyboard is too cheap to justify its $100/£90 starting price.
Run-of-the-mill specs paired with sleek, minimalist designs make the LG G Pads attractive budget buys, but there's little to distinguish them from similarly performing slates in the same price range.
If the 4-inch Pop S3 is just too small for you, you may want to check out the larger S7 instead.

How Detroit businesses can prepare for the next big storm
As business owners and residents in metro Detroit continue their cleanup efforts from last week's flood, state and local officials say climate change will only mean more frequent storms of such size.

Why marketers have a problem with social media metrics
Marketers are often faced with a tough situation when it comes to which social media metrics to track. There is an abundance of metrics to track and report on, and marketers often choose the wrong ones. And by wrong, I mean they choose what some like to call "vanity metrics." These are the low-hanging fruit metrics (likes, comments, shares). I'm not saying you shouldn't report on those, because it's important to track the growth of your channels and which content gets shared the

I have recently purchased Norton 360 and installed it on two computers, both running XP, linked in a home network. Computer A has an external HDD and I have the computer automatically backing up to an external HDD (E drive). Absouletly great. For the first time I have backups under control.
I want to set up computer B to back up the external HDD linked to A. Whever I try to click on "My Network" then try to map the network i get this message that says "Norton 360 is unable to probe your network... etc" I have tried all the things that a non-geek should, and probably shouldn't, such as trying to put in an address for a trusted link or whatever it is and no luck. What do I have to do apart from unistalling 360, saying goodbye to my money and finding another security system such as McAfee?
Solved! Go to Solution.

We will need a bit more information about your network setup:
1. What OS's are running on your machines?
2. How are they connected? Router or direct cable?
3. Do you have file sharing permissions setup on both of the computers? (Did you run the Network wizard on both computers?)
4. Does both N360's give you the same error on both machines when trying a network probe?
Providing at least some answers to these questions will allow us to better help troubleshoot your network issues.
In order to backup to a network location with Norton 360 you will need to create a mapped network drive to the area you would like to backup to.
for help creating a mapped network drive see http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/networkin
Let me know how it works out,
Hi Tyler,
Sorry for the delay in responding
1 Computer A is running XP professional v 5.1 SP3. This machine has an external HDD (E drive) which is used for backups from this machine. It also has a printer connected to it.
Computer B is running XP Home edition v 5.1 SP2
2 The machines are connected through a D-Link DSL504G router
3 As far as I know file sharing provisions are set up on both computers. Each machine can view shared files on the other (still can) and machine B prints to the printer connected to A
4 When I go to the N360 main page and click on "MY Network" then to "Network Map" I get the message "Norton 360 is unable to probe your network etc...." The same message appears on when I attempt this on both machines.
Hi Adam
Mapped Network Drives are new terminology to me. Can I assume that, given the external HDD on machine A is identified in "My Computer" as drive E that it is "mapped"?
I hope this information is enough to let you guide me from here. If not let me know what else you need to know.
a mapped network drive is when you create a drive on your machine (machine b in this case) that points to a shared folder on another computer. the following link should help you get this set up:
Solved it.
A "Mapped Network Drive" is something that the initiated know all about and probably think those who don't are somewhat deficient in their basic comprehension of life.
Be that as it may, Mapped Network Drive might as well have been gobbledygook to me. The I realized I already had some on computer A and all I had to do was establish one on computer B that had its end point in a folder on the external HDD connected to A.
So I did that. Backup now working as I want it to.

Dangers to health and well-being
Understanding the importance of micronutrients, digestion, absorption and storage of food-stuffs is important. Throughout the world, people are taking more and more herbal medicines and supplements to combat the ravages of aging, and to enhance sports performance and recovery from exercise. Also people don't eat properly, and the manifestations are visible in the incidence of osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures, heart disease, cancer, obesity in the young, stroke, hypertension and ischaemic heart disease. The racks of super-stores, discount chemists and dispensaries are jammed packed with herbal supplements. Almost all not approved or tested by the regulatory processes of the FDA in America . The greatest dangers facing such persons is when they undergo anaesthesia for one or other condition. Powerful herbal remedies and supplements can affect heart rate, blood clotting, wound healing and the immune system. The negative affects on ex-vivo cell culture and cell proliferation have been confirmed by BOLAND CELL .
Because of these dangers , anaesthetists and surgeons must enquire if the patient is consuming Echinacea, garlic, ginko, ginseng, St Johns Wort, valeria, ephedra, kava, grapefruit juice, pomegranate, caffeine, chondroitin and ginger to name a few. These substances are considered to be " natural" products and can increase bleeding tendencies and have drug interactions. All herbal medicines and supplements should be stopped two weeks before any surgery. This should be placed on the labels of products and not only be left to specialists. Herbal medicines are also dangerous for children scheduled for ambulatory surgery ( see Paed Anaes 2004, 14: 11 , 916-919). Many native cultures are lost and the peoples are resorting to westernized diets including supplementation with herbal medicines. Sadly, plant-based diets are making way for more animal products. Other drawbacks of supplements and herbal medicines include a higher incidence of cancer, allergies, anaphylaxis and blood dyscrasias such as agranulocytosis. The greatest dangers during and shortly after surgery include, hypertensive crises, heart attack, tachycardia, rythymn disorders, bleeding and stroke.
Diets supplemented with recommended amounts of calcium, magnesium, multivitamins and iron, omega-3 fatty acids and ascorbic acid appear to be safe.

RICHMOND, Va. (AP) - Lavish gifts and political donations have whisked a car salesman turned serial entrepreneur into the center of a growing scandal dogging Virginia's two top Republicans.
Thousands of dollars doled out by Jonnie R. Williams and his company, Star Scientific, to Gov. Bob McDonnell and Attorney General Ken Cuccinelli have raised eyebrows.
The FBI is looking into Williams' relationship with McDonnell and his wife, each of whom promoted Williams' company's latest dietary supplement around the same time he paid to cater their daughter's wedding. Cuccinelli also has come under scrutiny for failing to report that he vacationed at Williams' homes and held stock in the company.
Meanwhile, the colorful venture capitalist's company is facing a federal securities probe and three shareholder lawsuits.

Boundary Commission to review Doncaster Council
The number of local councillors in Doncaster is to be reviewed.
The Local Government Boundary Commission for England has been asked to establish whether the size of the council is appropriate. It will begin its work in April and draft recommendations are expected to be published in 2014.
It will meet with the full Council, the Mayor, the Group Leaders, parishes and officers.
Peter Davies, the Mayor or Doncaster, said he was "delighted to welcome the Commission".
– Peter Davies, Mayor of Doncaster
It has long been my view that reducing the number of councillors and the huge burden they put on the localcouncil tax payer is essential. At themoment the outrageous bill for political salaries (allowances) comes to over a million pounds and most of them have very little to do.

Oracle has sketched out a five-year road map for Sun's Sparc-based servers, hoping to reassure customers about the future of the platform and reverse a pattern of declining sales.
John Fowler, the former Sun executive who runs Oracle's systems business, laid out the plans in a webcast from Oracle's headquarters Tuesday morning. In an interview beforehand, he also confirmed reports that Oracle has stopped designing x86-based servers with chips from AMD and has standardized on Intel processors.
[ Keep up on the day's tech news headlines with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: Wrap Up newsletter. ]
Oracle will release regular updates to Sun's Sparc processors for at least the next five years, and "at least double application performance every other year" on Sparc-based systems, Fowler said. Sparc servers will scale from 32 cores and 4TB of memory today, to 128 cores and 64TB of memory by 2015, he said.
Fowler also announced that Solaris 11, the next big update to Sun's Solaris OS, will ship next year. It will include "major updates across almost every level of the stack," he said, including elements of Sun's Project Crossbow network virtualization technology. Solaris 11 will scale to "tens of terabytes of memory and thousands of processor threads," he said.
It was important for Oracle to articulate a road map for Sun's Sparc-based systems, sales of which have fallen sharply amid the uncertainty around Oracle's acquisition of Sun. Oracle has said from the start it will continue to develop Sparc, but it has been light on the details.
Even after Tuesday some questions remained. Oracle has two families of Sparc processors -- the multi-threaded Ultrasparc chips that it develops in-house for its T series servers, and the Sparc64 chips manufactured by Fujitsu and sold in Oracle's high-end M series servers.
Fowler didn't address the two chip lines specifically, referring only to the future of Sparc in general. One analyst said Oracle may eventually use the Ultrasparc chips across both server families, the M series and the T series.
"If I look in my tea leaves, I would say over the next few years all of those systems -- the T series and the M series -- are likely to be built around the Sparc chips Oracle is designing in-house," said Nathan Brookwood, principal analyst at Insight64.
Such a move could reduce Oracle's development costs and give it complete control over the design of its servers. It could produce variations of the Ultrasparc chip, using different interconnects and cache sizes, for example, to make them suitable for the M series servers, Brookwood said.
Asked before the webcast about specific plans for the two chip families, Fowler said he would be talking "generically about Sparc." The two platforms are based on the same underlying architecture and can run the exact same software, so customers "aren't focused on that," he said.
It's also unclear if the Ultrasparc T3 processor, which will double the core count of the existing T2 Plus, will ship by the end of the year, as Oracle had said it would. In the interview, Fowler said he could no longer confirm the release will be this year.
Still, analysts briefed on Oracle's hardware plans said they are more confident now of Sparc's future. Oracle has about the same number of engineers working on Sparc as Sun had before the acquisition, and the company is more focused on results, Brookwood said.
IDC analyst Jean Bozman said Oracle clearly is investing in the future of Sparc and Solaris. She expects a point upgrade to Solaris 10 before the end of the year, and for Oracle to provide a more detailed systems road map at Oracle OpenWorld next month.
