When the Oakland Raiders drafted Tony Bergstrom in 2012, there was hope he'd be solid member of their front line for years to come. But the former third round pick (and first overall selection of current GM Reggie McKenzie) has struggled with injury and ability, which could lead to him being cut come Raiders training camp.
That's the word from the San Francisco Chronicle who suggests Bergstrom's roster spot is on the bubble.
He didn't have any picks in the first or second round in 2012, but his first-ever selection for the Raiders, third-round guard Tony Bergstrom, is in real danger of being cut after training camp this summer.
Bergstrom missed the entire 2013 season with a 'significant' foot injury and given the scheme change on the Raiders offensive line, it appears as if the former Utah talent may be playing in a new zip code come the regular season.
It will likely take a relatively strong camp from Bergstrom (or injury on the offensive line) to maintain his roster spot moving forward.

All of the bootcamps are just CBK reviews.
Eh, good point. I would recommend one of the 3-5 days @ 8-hours/day variety over a 6-7 days @ 10-12 hours/day variety
where your
brain is total mush afterwards.
There is no way for someone to pass this exam without the prerequisite experience.
Well if you can memorize a book, you can pass the test. I've seen plenty of that. If you don't have the experience,
you can still
sit for the test and become an Associate of ISC2. Whether you have the experience or not, I think the prep and testing
taking are
an interesting experience.

Health Information Systems: MedSun Small Sample Survey Summary
MedSun: Newsletter #54, November 2010
Survey Topic: Health Information Systems
Year Conducted: 2009
Computerized patient care systems are used by many health care facilities. Food and Drug Administration, Center for Devices and Radiological Health (CDRH) is interested in learning more about the experiences of hospital staff using these patient care systems, especially on the patient care side involving Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). In order to understand the issues that hospitals have with these systems before, during and after implementation, a survey was conducted with health care professionals from five facilities. The focus of the survey was on the functionality of the systems and the topics discussed were the impact of the system, usability, user satisfaction, and problem resolution with systems that facilities have implemented. Another goal of the survey was to better understand any potential issues involving health information systems. Nine staff members representing several hospital departments were interviewed and the information that follows is a summary of the interviews.
Generally, the respondents had mixed feelings about their health information system's usability. However, users did say that the impact of CPOE systems have changed workflow dramatically for the better. Documentation quality has improved and one respondent believed their medication errors have been reduced by 30%.
User dislikes include pop-up features because they can cause alert fatigue. Other dislikes include implementing complicated order sets and the fact that multiple applications have a different look and feel, even within the same vendor's products. User likes include the way the system delivers decision support. They also liked the ability to use admission order sets, like medication adjudication, and have automated this process for patients' discharge from the hospital.
Training for users ranged from no training for some staff to 24 hours for IT staff. Training time also depended on the role of the employee. Physicians generally received the least training, followed by nurses and other non-physicians. IT staff and other super-users received the most training. Also, there was usually more training for big software releases.
In general, experiences with system reliability have been good. Unplanned downtime is rare and normally very short with an estimated uptime close to 100%. When forced to return to paper orders during downtime they see more errors, including, incomplete orders, missing medication routes, and incorrect abbreviations. Staff realize how much safer CPOE is, versus a paper system. Experience with recovery from outages was also good.
Most respondents were unaware of any adverse event reports with a CPOE system. Most reports of system malfunction were related to human error. Types of other problems included those with system defaults and how patient data interfaces with the application.
Future plans for respondents' health information systems included adding bar-coding of medications, expansion to the emergency room, and incorporating infusion pumps in a pharmacy management system. Respondents are also working to assure that their electronic medical records (EMR) are going to adhere to the evolving standards for the exchange of data with other facilities.
Small scale surveys are one of many tools the Agency uses to evaluate the public health impact of the potential problems associated with the use of medical devices. Because these surveys utilize a small sample size that is not statistically derived, the results provide only qualitative and not quantitative results. Additionally, FDA continues to receive adverse event reports from its Medical Device Reporting program, and will continue to make use of the literature and other published information. FDA scientific, medical, nursing and engineering staff are made aware of the survey results as needed. If FDA believes a possible public health problem may be emerging from the results of a survey, it will combine those results with data gained from the other sources and may convene an Ad Hoc group of clinical and manufacturing representatives to discuss further actions.
FDA will work with the manufacturers and health care professional organizations to make important information known about medical devices to the clinical community.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. — The Tennessee Titans have signed cornerback Blidi Wreh-Wilson to a contract, leaving only guard Chance Warmack as their remaining draft selection still to sign a deal.
The Titans announced the deal Thursday, though Wreh-Wilson tweeted a photo of himself signing his contract Wednesday night.
Wreh-Wilson, a 6-1 cornerback, was the first of two Titans selections in the third round. They took the four-year starter from Connecticut at No. 70 overall, and he had eight interceptions and 181 tackles in his career.
Warmack was the Titans' first-round draft selection at No. 10 overall out of Alabama.

Section 1: Archives
A few decades ago, researchers noticed
that in the mountain region of Ideate near Sao Paulo, Brazil,
a regular part of the local inhabitants' diet was a mushroom
known as 'Cogmelo de Deus' or 'Mushroom of God'. The researches
also noted that the local inhabitants were extraordinarily healthy
and had a very low incidence of cancer and other diseases, which
they attributed to this magical mushroom.
The scientific name of the mushroom
is Agaricus Brasiliensis (a.k.a. Agaricus blazei Murill, ABM Mushroom,
cogumelo do sol (sun mushroom), cogumelo de Deus (god's mushroom),
Brazil's mushroom, Royal Sun Agaricus or, in Japanese, Himematsutake).
Agaricus Blazei Murrill, more commonly called the ABM mushroom
and sometimes referred to as Agaricus Brasiliennis. So potent
is this mushroom that one well-known rainforest herbal manufacturer,
uses it as the main ingredients in herbal supplements that have
been credited with success against cancer and other diseases around
the world.
A Japanese-Brazilian farmer is credited
with first discovering the Agaricus brasiliensis in the summer
of 1965. In March 1995, Dr. Kazunari Satake M.D., Ph.D., commenced
a three-year clinical study with cancer patients. Dr. Satake announced
the results of his research to the Japanese Cancer Congress in
Since 1968, Dr. Takashi Mizuno Ph.D.,
has studied the bioactive substances in fungi, especially those
related to anti-tumor active polysaccharides. At the 12th Symposium
of the 7th General Meeting of Technical Discussion Group for Fungi
(held at Kinki University in Nara, Japan 1995), Dr. Mizuno presented
his results with the following, quite remarkable finding:
"A remarkable anti-tumor activity
was found in glycoprotein FIII-2-b, isolated from the fruiting
bodies of Agaricus blazei Murill. This glucan-protein complex
was the first case of an anti-tumor compound found in an edible
In a study conducted by Dr. Shoji
Shibata, a professor at Tokyo University, several other well known
cancer-fighting and immune-boosting mushrooms were compared to
the ABM, including Reishi and Shitake. Dr. Shibata's results found
that the other mushrooms were not as effective as the ABM mushroom,
and so the ABM was ranked at the top of the list of potent mushrooms
- a spot befitting the 'Mushroom of God'! Japanese and British
studies have proven ABM contains the highest levels of Beta-(6)-D-glucan
of any mushroom known in the world, a polysaccharide widely recognized
for its ability to enhance the function of the innate immune response
and the acquired immune response against a broad range of foreign
invaders to the body.
In addition to of Beta-(6)-D-glucan
, the ABM mushroom contains Beta-(1-3)-D-glucan and Beta-(1-4)-a
-D-glucan. These potent long-chain polysaccharides are among the
most potent immuno-enhancing substances yet found. They also have
very powerful anti-tumor properties. When human subjects are given
ABM in their diet, a 3000% increase of NK cells, a type of anti-tumor
white blood cell known as Natural Killer cells, is seen in the
blood within 2-4 days.
In addition to beta glucans, agaricus
also contains derivatives of ergosterol, a potent anti-tumor agent;
double stranded RNA, an anti-viral agent; proteoglucans and protein
bound polysaccharides of low molecular weight, which are immune
enhancers; and, protein bound polysaccharides of high molecular
weight, vitamins B1 and B2, proteins in the form of amino acids,
niacin, iron, and calcium. There are many verified reports from
around the world of this mushroom being used successfully in late
stage cancers that had been determined hopeless and some clinics
in Europe base their entire treatment protocols on agaricus blazei
murrill mushroom extracts and other complimentary botanicals.
In fact, some studies claim cure rates above ninety percent for
all types of cancer, even for stage 4 lung cancer, where many
complete remissions are often seen in just a few weeks.
Author's note: The author recommends
the ABM mushroom as one of his top handful of cancer-fighters
and immune boosters, along with Colloidal Silver, cat's
claw, pau d'arco, and carefully prepared aqueous oleander

Game #72: Montreal Canadiens (39-26-7) vs. Boston Bruins (49-17-5)
Locaton: TD Garden, Boston
Time: 7:30 p.m.
TV/Radio: NBCSN/98.5 The Sports Hub
The Boston Bruins will welcome their Atlantic Division rival into TD Garden on Monday night. They'll put their 12 game winning streak on the line in what is the fourth and final meeting of the season with the Montreal Canadiens. Montreal was able to beat Boston in their first two games against them earlier in the year. The Bruins crushed the Habs in the most recent matchup on Mar. 12, 4-1.
With the season rapidly nearing an end, and the Bruins riding their third longest winning streak in franchise history, Montreal's chances of winning the division are essentially over. But the Canadiens are looking up at the Lightning and Penguins in the conference standings. Points are at a premium for them as they jostle for playoff positioning.
Boston is coming off a 4-2, come-from-behind victory, over the Coyotes this past Saturday. Jarome Iginla tallied two goals in the contest. Boston's top-line winger now has 28 goals on the season and 11 in his last 12 games.
Tuukka Rask will likely be in net for Boston. He is undefeated in his last seven starts. In his last start opposite the Canadiens, he earned his first career victory against them. He made several key stops in that win.
Rask boasts a 1.55 goals against average over the course of the winning streak.
Carey Price is expected in net for Montreal. He was not in net last time the Bruins skated against the Canadiens. Peter Budaj played in place of Price, who was battling an injury.
P.K. Subban has been playing some conistent hockey of late for the Canadiens. The dynamic blue-liner has 11 points in his last 11 games.
Montreal will need to be at their very best if they hope to slow Boston's four line attack. Contributions scattered from up and down the lineup have fueled the Bruins dominance in recent weeks. Their defenseman have also been outstanding, including Dougie Hamilton, how was four assists in his last six games.

46/138 or 273/365 or 7 May 2012
I've came to a conclusion: I'm an asshole.
I'm bitter, bruised, abrasive to say the least, more guarded than the president on inaugural day & clearly have a lack of empathy, especially for strangers. I hate everyone when I first meet them & typically don't go out of my way to make friends - because well, I don't like to & I don't need them.
I do know that when I let down my guard, people love me. I haven't done that much in the past year or two. I suppose that's what getting fucked over pretty good will do to you. Do people ever recover from this?
Maybe this is becoming apart of my personality. Maybe my resiliency has wore off. Maybe if I had the above traits before hand I wouldn't have let people fist me when I wasn't looking.
I'm never going to be graceful, I'll never be the sweet girl next door, my life will never be dull or stable.
My life has been one insane narrative since conception.
How many of you know that you were the product of an affair? Like the real deal, mom was married & had two kids, dad was married and also had two kids, then BAM! You come along, they both end up divorced. Father leaves partially because he's worthless & partly for the cover up.
The 80s must have been crazy.
End tangent.
My point of this entry is just that, that Im an asshole and I know it. Do I embrace it or try to change it?
I've decided to take into consideration, starting things with my best foot forward. What if I actually greeted someone with sincerity and a smile, instead of a dirty look and a "fuck off" mentality?
Im very uneasy with this whole thing.
But I'm also tired of being an asshole, life is too short.
New job starts tomorrow, maybe along with an attitude adjustment.

" But I found a boy that I adore more than I ever did you before so stand beside the river I cried & let yourself down, look how you want me now that I don't need you,
So you thought that I would crumble to my knees at the first sight of you crawling back to me,
to whisper, "will you leave your man?" because you swear this time you can stand by me,
I won't stand by you,
'cause I found a boy who I adore, more than I ever I did you before, So stand beside the river I cried & let yourself down,
Look how you want me now that I don't need you …
I could never look into your eyes & settle for wrong and ignore the right,
When I found a boy who adores me more than you ever did before,
So stand beside the river you cried and let yourself down,
Look how you want me now that I don't need you…"

Saddle Up, It's Time to Go
Do homework that's been stackin' up like, 'Racks on racks on racks". Fuck.
I've noticed lately I can't properly convey how I feel. Typically I can write for hours upon hours, but lately I just can't verbalize or write how I feel. It's becoming extremely frustrating. Its like shaking up a soda can over and over, the pressure is building & Im doing my best not to explode. Maybe it's the 'soldier' part in me not wanting to be weak or vulnerable. I just keep jamming to the same tunes over & over, identifying with the lyrics. Something isn't right.
Let me try breaking this shit down,
-Pulling up my sleeves, showing these scars for the world to see-
Currently Bumping:
"Soundtrack to My Life" - Kid Cudi
I got 99 problems and they all bitches,
Wish I was Jigga man,
Care free livin,
But I'm not shawn,
Or Martin Louis,
I'm that Cleveland n-gga,
Rollin with them Brooklyn boy,
You know how it be when you start living large,
I control my own life, [Yes I do, so why am I sitting watching it spiral?]
Charles was never in charge,
No sitcom could teach Scott, ['cause we didn't have electricity]
About the drama
Or even explain the troubles that haunted my mom [Root to a lot of evil]
On Christmas time
My mom Christmas
crying [was High] Got me most of what I wanted how'd you do it mom? ['Wonder why christmas missed us'] Huh, she got me toys I would play with in my room by myself [Alone in my room, bc you were too bust getting high]
Why he by himself? [Bc you left me, for something you felt was more important]
He got 2 older brothers, 1 hood, 1 good
An independent older sister kept me fine when she could [brother, but he passed]
But they all didn't see
The little bit of sadness in me
I've got some issues that nobody can see
And all of these emotions are pouring outta me
I bring them to the light for you
It's only right
This is the soundtrack to my life
The soundtrack to my life ohhhh
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/k/kid_cudi/soundtrack_of_my_life.html ]
[Verse 2]
I'm super paranoid like a sixth sense,
Since my father died I ain't been right since, [He's as good alive as he is dead, worthless]
And I tried to piece the puzzle of the universe,
Split an eighth of shrooms just so I can see the universe,
I try to think about myself as a sacrifice,
Just to show the kids they ain't the only ones who up at night,
The moon will illuminate my room and soon I'm consumed by my doom,
Once upon a time nobody gave a f-ck, [When I had nothing, no one blinked]
It's all said and done and my cocks been sucked,
So now I'm in the cut, alcohol in the wound,
My hearts an open sore that I hope heals soon, [Thank you]
I live in a cocoon opposite of Cancun,
Where it is never sunny the dark side of the moon,
So it's more than right, I try to she'd some light on the man,
Not many people of this planet understand. [Thank god for my sisters]
42/138 or 269/365 or 24/10/2011
I wear my emotions on my Sleeve & Keep my heart locked far, far away.
Here, you can have the key.
But you'll never find it, because I've seem to have forgotten where I lost it.
41/138 or 268/365 or 23/10/2011
"They're coming for you Barbra!"
Finally some much needed time with good company.
Best day of the whole week :]
40/138 or 267/365 or 22/10/2011
Clearly I have left the light on and the door open for too long.
-"These lies are leading me astray, its too much for me to stay, I don't want to live this destiny it goes on endlessly, I see you so please stay strong, Ill sing you one last song and then I am gone…"
There's always one last song, that's the problem.

Beautiful Words On A Bathroom Wall
How sad is it that these words will never be spoken or said? I hope that "N" found/finds this.
I wonder if I'll ever be able to feel like that again, not the heartbreak, the part where you love someone. It's becoming a foreign concept. The more I think about it the less I want to love again. Cold feet? Bitter? Still hurt?
What the hell is really going on.
38/138 or 265/365 or 20/10/2011
"Bottom Of A Bottle" Smile Empty Soul
"Been scared and lonely
I've asked myself is something wrong with you
My girlfriend told me
I need some time alone to deal with issues
But something makes me carry on
It's difficult to understand
Why I always wanna fly
I do it for the drugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love
That I get from the bottom of a bottle
You always call me
And ask me how I make it through the day
I'm always fallin'
I guess it's just God's way of making me pay
But something makes me carry on
It's difficult to understand, why I always wanna fly
I do it for the drugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love
That I get from the bottom of a bottle
I do it for the drugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love
That I get from the bottom of a bottle
When I, I wonder why I try
And I, I wonder why I bother
And I, I wonder why I cry
Why I, I go through all this trouble
I do it for the drugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love
That I get from the bottom of a bottle
I do it for the drugs
I do it just to feel alive
I do it for the love
That I get from the bottom of a bottle "
37/138 or 264/365 or 19/10/2011
"Just Give Me My A l c o h o l"
I'd rather see that this bottle gets finished than my philosophy paper any day.
I got my problems on my mind and my mind on my problems.

You can definitely see how Corey Elkins made it to the NHL. He scored a short-handed goal in the second period to tie the Komets and Cincinnati Cyclones at 2.
The Komets have had their problems on even- and odd-man rushes, but he knew what to do. He came down the right wing, then cut across the middle, creating a screen by his teammate and scored.
Fort Wayne also got a goal from Jean-Michel Rizk.
Luca Caputi had a fight, by the way, with David MacDonald.

Sneak Peek: The Lake & Stars|
Life & Love News
We spoke intimates last night with New York lingerie design duo, Maayan Zilberman and Nikki Dekker. The two friends started their lingerie label The Lake & Stars in 2007 to bridge the gap between special occasion and everyday lingerie. Since then, they've won the 2011 Ecco Domani fashion award for women's wear, launched swimwear and gained a steady celebrity following.
This week, they'll stage their first fashion show—and the only one that's all lingerie. There's a sneak peek of their fall collection at left, and you can expect to the intimates on models of all shapes and sizes on their runway tomorrow. But first, we asked the girls a few questions.
ELLE: How did the company start, in two sentences!
L&S: We were introduced years ago through a mutual friend who wanted his two lingerie designer friends to meet and the company grew organically. We discovered we had things in common, like wearing swimsuits as lingerie.
ELLE: Why wear swimsuits as lingerie?
L&S: We really liked the idea of our underwear showing without it being shameful—for it to be just another layer of our outfit and not have it look like Madonna circa "Like a Virgin." It's not about shock value. We want for it to look like it's part of your outfit in a way that looks natural and not alarming.

In response to:
Seth MacFarlane is a lapsed Catholic. He will do anything to not only attack religion, but the Catholic Church specifically. Roseanne is another story altogether. She once was very funny, in the 80's as a stand up comedienne. And in the 80's and early 90's on her tv show. Her show and humor was based on the realities of being a middle class family who were constantly in financial troubles. Later her show and her humor got bitter, and loss all sense of reality and real humor. She's even more bitter now, and her humor is only sarcasm and attacks on all things Republican and moral. Hollywood and the mainstream media look at most Americans as fools and sex starved addicts.. Their movies and the news we receive reflect this misconception.
SpaceVegetable Wrote: Dec 28, 2012 7:05 PM
That's because they're all fools and sex-starved addicts, so they think the rest of the "real world" is also like that.
The year 2012 was a depressing time for people who are already pessimistic about the state of our common culture. Conversely, the re-election of Barack Obama, in large measure made possible by the heavy financial support of Hollywood, projects the optimism of the cultural Left. They anticipate increased blue-state voting patterns in favor of gay "marriage," legalized pot, gun regulations, and what next? Legalized prostitution? Euthanasia subsidized by Obamacare?
So let's just line up the cultural winners of Obama's America, where the only impediments to progress are those who believe in religion, manners and "family values."
Winner: Seth...

Vince Young is trying to make an NFL comeback since he flamed out. In his NFL career he played with the Tennessee Titans and briefly the Philadelphia Eagles. He sat out the entire 2012 NFL season, and amid financial issues including large loans he can't repay, many see this attempt to get back into the league as disingenuous and simply an attempt to regain some financial stability.
Vince Young thinks otherwise. Not only does he think he can still play in the league, he thinks he can do it better than most that are currently playing. He certainly could've started in Arizona at some point this season. I'm almost shocked he didn't get a call from the Cardinals.
"I really feel like I can do a much better job than a lot of, most quarterbacks in the league," Young said Wednesday on "NFL AM," via NFL.com.
He's not that young anymore and is going to turn 30 in May. In his career he completed 57.9% of his passes, 755 completions for 8,964 yards and 46 touchdowns. But he feels like he was ran out of the league for reasons other than his on field performance.
"I don't really feel like it was my game. I just really feel like (it was) some of the off-the-field issues," Young said about being cut. "I really feel like teams don't want their quarterback to be in a position where they're distracted."
"I was young at the time and I put my trust in a lot of people. I was getting taken advantage of. Basically I'm the victim of the situation. Just got to clean up that mess, just to let teams know I'm a little bit more mature than I used to be. I've grown a whole lot."
And in an effort to show his maturity he sent Rams head coach Jeff Fisher a letter of apology.
"I definitely wanted to apologize for the things that I did," Young said. "Letting him know about the frustrations, all the different things that were going on in my life at the time and wanted him to know I really did appreciate him trying to make me become one of those type of leaders on the team and a successful quarterback. … At the time being immature and not paying attention and not listening and taking my frustrations out on a lot of people wasn't the right thing to do."
In an effort to give scouts a chance to see him in action, Young is working out at the University of Texas' Pro Day on March 26.

Might this be the year that the NFL Pro Bowl is an exciting and competitive one? Odds are against that notion. Especially if you are a Titans' fan. Pro Bowl voting has become a bit controversial, with somewhat undeserving players being chosen because of popularity over worthy players whose under-the-radar seasons go overlooked. There's also the fact that, unlike in baseball, some teams may have no representative being sent to Honolulu. This year, that is the case for our beloved Tennessee Titans.
Cortland Finnegan and Rob Bironas are the main Tennessee Titans who have a case for being in Hawaii for tonight's game. Finnegan had, arguably, his best season as a pro. While his numbers aren't eye-popping, he consistently kept the other team's best receiver in check, all while lining up in the slot in key situations. Bironas had the second best season of his career, in terms of kicking accuracy, hitting 29 of 32 field goals for a 90.6% clip, and nailing all 34 of his extra points.
The 2012 NFL Pro Bowl is on at 7 (ET) on NBC.

Treatment of Chronic Medical Conditions: Cognitive–Behavioral Therapy Strategies and Integrative Treatment Protocols
For individuals in the U.S. & U.S. territories
As the population ages, physicians are turning to psychotherapists to help the increasing number of patients who are struggling with chronic illnesses. To provide effective and appropriate treatment to these patients requires that clinicians broaden their psychological perspective and augment their intervention strategies and treatment plans specific to chronic medical illness.
Treatment of Chronic Medical Conditions provides clinicians with focused cognitive–behavioral strategies and integrative treatment protocols for 10 of the most common chronic medical conditions that the psychotherapist is likely to encounter. These include
- arthritis
- asthma
- cancer
- cardiac disease
- chronic pain
- diabetes
- epilepsy
- hypertension
- irritable bowel syndrome
- lupus
The strategies and protocols tailored for these conditions are illustrated with extensive case studies and session transcriptions that make the treatment process tangible and results oriented. In addition, the book offers guidelines for dealing with such issues as illness denial, non-compliance, symptom reduction, and challenges to life meaning that often stand in the way of patients leading full lives, despite their chronic illnesses.

Led by Joe Harris dropping 19 points, the Virgina Cavaliers beat Maryland last night, 61-53. The win gives Virginia their eighth straight victory. But somehow, magically even, it seems like no one is paying attention to a team with a 20-5 overall record and an impressive 11-1 in-conference marking — which is good for being second in the ACC.
But why are the Cavaliers not being talked about more?
Maybe it is because the ACC has become a maligned conference. It seems like everyone expected the league to be all that and a bag of chips, but since it hasn't many experts have turned on the conference. And as we all know, hell have no fury like people not having their expectations met by someone else.
Sure, the league is down but just a little bit. That doesn't mean Virginia should be discredited as a team that might be legitimately good.
Even their 17th ranking in the country seems like a slap in the face. It doesn't mean they should be ranked as a top-five team, but there are programs who have less impressive records, wins and worse losses who are ranked ahead of them.
Is it the Joe Harris complex? Because the senior's numbers are down the world must bellyache and think that he is no longer good, making Virginia not a good team via transitive property?
Harris' scoring numbers are down, but that is only because he is taking three less shots per game. His field-goal percentage is actually up (granted, it's up by one one-hundredths of a point) as is his three-point percentage. Couple that with his turnovers being down and his minutes being decreased — which is a good thing — it makes sense Harris wouldn't need to go bonkers every single game.
A fresh Joe Harris in March is far better than a tired Joe Harris in a game against the Club State Pool Cleaners. Catch my drift?
Another reasonable explanation could be the quality of Virginia's wins. Or, really, the lack thereof. The Cavaliers best wins are against SMU pre-apparent awesomeness, FSU twice, UNC and Pitt — only SMU and Pitt being ranked, with SMU not being ranked at the time.
To be fair, though, Virginia really has one "bad" loss. That was the 35 point drubbing they suffered at the hands of Tennessee. Outside of that, though, losing to VCU, Wisconsin, (a good) Green Bay and Duke is nothing to be ashamed of.
The rest of the Cavs' schedule plays out in a way that could realistically result in them only losing one more game. Think about that for a second. With six more games left in the regular season, it is a very real possibility that Virginia only loses one more game. Which would give them a finished regular season record of 25-6.
Yet no one seems to care and I haven't the slightest idea as to why. Is it because of a weird hatred for the ACC, Joe Harris not living up to but actually living up to his billing or their schedule? Because none of those things are actually good reasons.
I guess what I am trying to say is that we should probably start paying more attention to the Virginia Cavaliers. Why? Because they are really good and before you know it the bandwagon will be full.

I'm the host for this week's Best of Boomer Blogs #358.
Summer is approaching in the Seattle area where I live. Although the nights are still chilly, we're having some warm days.
That prompts me to get my garden planted. Since the danger of freezing is past, I can plant my tomatoes now. Also, I've been in Spain for a vacation, so I couldn't begin planning peas, bean, and other possible early items.
I love growing organic vegetables. When my garden isn't producing, I get them from the local co-ops. Some supermarkets are offering organic vegetables and other products now. I can even get some at Costco.
Boomers are always interested in health, especially how to remain healthy as they age. It's a theme that boomers are writing about in recent blogs:
Boomer roommates
In her article "The Golden Girls Comes to Life in Housing Sharing Trend," Amy Blitchok of the Modern Senior reports that more and more boomer women are living together. Not only does having roommates ease financial burdens, it also offers a whole host of other benefits that can improve quality of life. As more is learned more about the direct relationship between declining health and isolation, having roommates seems like a simple and practical solution. Visit the Modern Senior to learn more and read some firsthand accounts of baby boomer roommate success stories.

Marcelo Burlon 2013 Fall/Winter "County of Milan" Video
On the heels of his neon-infused visuals, Italian designer Marcelo Burlon adds to the support of his Fall/Winter 2013 T-shirt line with his "Country of Milan" video. Drawing iconographic elements from different cultures – including Mapuches crosses from Patagonia, Argentinean birds feathers and more Gothic themes often associated with people like Riccardo Tisci of Givenchy, the result is a more straightforward unveiling of the various items than past visual offerings. Expect to see the entire range of tees at select stockists around the world in the near future.

The Razer Blade is a Stunning New 17" Gaming Laptop
The Razer with a build-in Switchblade.
Earlier this week, Razer posted a cheeky teaser site saying that PC gaming was not dead. Those of us enjoying games on our PCs know this, but Razer had to make things a bit dramatic – and today we know why. Razer revealed at PAX Prime its gaming laptop, which on first impressions, is a stunning specimen.
Razer claims that it has made the world's first gaming laptop – but really, there are plenty of laptops on the market that can play Crysis. What Razer's saying is that it has created the first gaming portable laptop. It's called the Razer Blade and it measures 0.88-inches thick and weighs only 6.97 lbs, besting even Apple's 17-inch MacBook Pro.
Here are the full specs:
- 2.8 GHz Intel Core i7 2640M Processor
- 8GB 1333MHz DDR3 Memory
- 17.3" LED Backlit Display (1920x1080)
- Nvidia GeForce GT 555M with Nvidia Optimus Technology
- 2GB Dedicated GDDR5 Video Memory
- Built-in HD Webcam
- Integrated 60Wh Battery
- 320GB 7200rpm SATA HDD
- Wireless Network 802.11 b/g/n Compatible
- 16.81" (Width) x 10.9" (Depth) x 0.88" (Height); 6.97lbs (Weight)
Razer, known for its high-end PC gaming peripherals, had Intel's help in making the Blade.
"We're proud to co-develop this revolutionary gaming laptop with Razer," said Mooly Eden, VP and General Manager of the PC Client Group, Intel. "Utilizing our fast Intel Core i7 processor, the Razer Blade delivers top-class gaming performance in a portable form factor."
Graphical muscle comes courtesy of Nvidia's GeForce GT 555M, but that takes a back seat to Intel's integrated graphics when there isn't any intense 3D action.
What really sets the Razer Blade apart from any other laptop is the Switchblade User Interface. The interface is comprised of 10 dynamic adaptive tactile keys for easier access of in-game commands, and an LCD capable of two modes: one mode that displays in-game information when a mouse is in use; and another mode that functions as an ultra-sensitive, multi-touch panel designed for gaming on the go.
At $2799.99, it's not cheap, but also not unheard of for a 17-inch high-end laptop. It'll be hitting North America in Q4 2011.

I thought it looked pretty cool until I saw the price. Still a real nice looking machine.
0tmax , August 28, 2011 4:34 AMWOW! I hope this makes it to production.
It's priced 2,800$ and it doesn't have a SSD? What the hell?
20Meatymutawings , August 28, 2011 4:40 AMfinally some decent use for number pad area. But shame it doesn't have SSD, 320GB HDD, really?
-4Anonymous , August 28, 2011 4:44 AMi want it for christmas mom!!!
15Azn Cracker , August 28, 2011 4:48 AMcut the price in half, add an ssd, and ill buy it
11el33t , August 28, 2011 4:48 AMWhoa...these guys beat even Alienware in ripping off... And secondly, nothing can replace the keypad....
-2Sashmo99 , August 28, 2011 4:50 AMSSD will prob. come second gen. Let's not forget to take a moment to *drool
Someone posted a hilarious (but true) article on reddit in regards to what you can buy INSTEAD of this laptop. http://i.imgur.com/wTTck.png

8LuckyDucky7 , August 28, 2011 5:09 AMAh- finally hardware worthy of a 2700-dollar pricetag.
So when I see people walking around with new 17" Macbook Pros, I can give them an equivalent machine that's actually worth the pricetag in hardware (other than a GTX 580M, that is) and looks and feels better.
9jcaulley_74 , August 28, 2011 5:18 AMI'll be interested in seeing how cool it can stay. One of the reasons gaming laptops are big is to support the cooling solution. Very often, small and thin=hot and unstable.

1Anonymous , August 28, 2011 5:35 AMof course they dont mention the integrated battery...
stupid laptop that would last about 10 seconds when gaming, and more expensive than alienware.
2razor512 , August 28, 2011 5:42 AMfor that price, you can build a desktop gaming PC with the fastest parts available and it would still be cheaper than that laptop.
and with the left over money, you can make it portable by buying a large backpack where you can stuff a large UPS in, along with the pc case, and be creative with the monitor, speakers, mouse, and keyboard
17aftcomet , August 28, 2011 5:45 AMcaedenvWhoever made this comic obviously dosnt know computer hardware. I'm looking at a ~$1000 hardware refresh next year, but I could beat those specs with current parts and prices with $1000, much less nearing $3000
And you obviously have a comprehension problem. The comic was pointing out how much stuff you could get for that much money.

I agree with this, and have seen the document, and have worked for
large providers that performed prefix filtering on customers long
before IOPS existed.
However, if every ISP performed prefix-based filtering between one
another, it'd be improved "a lot more". I recall more than a few
instances when providers inadvertently broke other providers customers
by "mis-advertising" prefixes.
And if every ISP performed SA verification between one another
(presumably with the same filters) it would again be improved "a
lot" more.
If every ISP does prefix based filtering on its
downstream customers, the integrity of the Internet
routing system will be improved a lot. The document
below proposes such a model:

Driving whilst on a hand held phone has catagorically been shown to be between 3 to 6 times WORSE than driving just over the drink drive limit. To link it in with exceeding a posted speed limit on a deserted road or lane hogging on a deserted motorway is farsical. Drink driving is an automatic ban so since driving whilst on the phone causes more degredation in drivers ability it should be fined AT LEAST as severely as drink driving.

The headine should be: "Speed Tax to rise to £100, motorists to be lasered at cashpoints, and chip-and-pin readers installed in Plodmobiles."
The rest of it is "of course, we'll only tax other drivers" spin to distract from that issue. There are no new offences being proposed, just more efficient revenue collection for existing ones.
Thing is, the time we see coppers on the roads is when they're on a emergency call to restock the doughnut bin, or lurking in rural hedges to laser themselves a nice string of candidates for the Speed Awareness Course run by the Chief Constable's brother-in-law.
That isn't going to change, as Hammond knows fine well, so he can go ahead and bring in the death penalty for tailgating for all the practical difference it will make.

Well if bad driving should be punished the police car on the A3 rush hour this morning was in the center lane doing 50mph flashing lights, holding everybody up for no reason whatsoever, the queues where forming for more than a mile until he decided he had enough of fun, turned the lights of and exited at Surbiton! Is that a fine exemple that they have the power to do whateve they want! with or without you!

That is why we are making it easier for the police to tackle problem drivers by allowing them to immediately issue a fixed penalty notice rather than needing to take every offender to court!!! Just need some police officers out on the road now!!!

But are we going to see officers on patrol actually enforcing these new laws? And if we are now following the continental approach of on-the-spot fines, what if the person can't pay? Will the car be towed away/clamped etc? Or will the police think 'I can't be arsed' and let them off with a verbal warning? I'd like to hear more details how these laws will work.
FPN bribes are going up, Careless and Inconsiderate can be sanctioned by FPN. FPN bribes can be paid at the roadside (although I doubt this will happen - what about surrendering licenses for endorsement). That's it. No new offences, no new powers to compel, no changes to policing.

Vortex52 - perhaps if you ask Surrey Police why they did a rolling road to slow the traffic down, they might tell you. Had it ever occurred to you that something had happened ahead (which you couldn't see), and they slowed the traffic down so the average member of public didn't go barrelling down the road and into it....? By doing that the police ahead could clear the obstruction whilst still keeping the traffic moving... I think it's a case of get your facts first before you slag the police off.

Clearly NOT on the spot fines although they do exist for foreign drivers.
It is about time these idiots that drive in the third lane of a four lane motorway are made to move the heck over!!! Billions are spent widening the motorways only for these idiots to turn them into a two lane motorway because they can't be arrised to move over! Coaches and cars with trailers are not allowed in the outside lane af a three lane motorway, how do they legally overtake a muppet in the middle lane doing 55MPH?
Maybe they should make it legal to undertake? That would cure the problem in one go, although they wouldn't make money from that idea! And who is going to enforce these new laws? The AA? I regularly drive from Lincoln to Kent and never even see a police car let alone a traffic car.
Pointless waste of time and money these new ideas they have. How many meetings and 'thinktanks' do they need to come up with these stupid ideas? I bet in the end it will cost more to implement than they actually raise from it!

Get an alert when new Burden Of Paradise dates are announced
This project sees acclaimed saxophonist Snake Davis teaming up with singer Helen Watson. Helen has a unique style and strong distinctive voice, crossing the boundaries between jazz, blues, soul and folk. The two first worked together many years ago when Snake played on Helen's Blue Slipper album, which also featured Albert Lee and members of Little Feat. This new project includes Dave Bowie and Mark Creswell from The Suspicions. With no drummer in the line-up this is going to be an acoustic show – great songs, with poignancy, passion and fun. With Snake Davis on sax and flute, Helen Watson on vocals, Dave Bowie on double bass, and Mark Creswell on guitar.

As far as "payments", mobile or otherwise, are concerned, there are already two elephants in the room, the "bankcards", MasterCard and Visa; if anyone thinks that there is room for anyone else to be given interactive access to the banks of the world's customers' accounts, I think that they are dreaming. There simply is no way that the world's banks are going to let every "payment pretender" have direct, unfettered access to their customers' funds—that would undoubtedly create a nightmare for the banks. So, all the "middlemen" pretenders have to work via a Credit Card Merchant Accounts with their own retail banker …
You only have to follow the negative comments all over the internet about PayPal's Credit Card Merchant Account operation to understand the potential problems involved for the banks with such "middleman" operators. Indeed, the suggestion is that "PreyPal" is now applying more, and lengthy, holds on their payee's funds because "the banks" have put "PreyPal" on notice that they are not happy with the ever-increasing number of complaints from their card users about PayPal's unsatisfactory customer support and, apparently, non-existent transaction dispute mediation process. Apparently, "PreyPal"—unlike the banks—will not invest in the human resources necessary to professionally moderate such disputes, and will not now defend a charge-back by a buyer—even if it is defensible; "PreyPal" will now simply deal with the matter in the most self-interested way for them, and that is to acquiesce to the chargeback and let the payee carry the can. The reality is, anyone that accepts payments via "PreyPal"—or any other third-party payments "pretender"—does so at their constant peril …
Regardless, as others have said, the banks and MasterCard/Visa already have an enormous installed base of "tap and go" NFC terminals, mandated for use by October 2015; and, the resulting "Chip and PIN" operation, via card or phone, could not be any simpler (particularly by card), or more secure …
Apple undoubtedly already well understands this situation and I doubt they have any serious idea of trying to expand their payments system outside of their own sales. I therefore wonder if these "stories" are not simply the work of the fertile imaginations of those media release regurgitators that today disguise themselves as journalists …

Apple has been interviewing senior payments industry executives to push ahead on a plan to build an electronic payments business, according to two people familiar with the process.
The company has been meeting with potential applicants for two new positions at Apple focused exclusively on building a business around the hundreds of millions of credit cards it already has on file. Apple is seeking to fill head of product and head of business development positions, one of these people said.
Jennifer Bailey, Apple's long-time e-commerce head, has met with candidates and is currently leading the initiative, according to these sources.
"Their ambitions are very, very serious," one of the sources said.
Apple has previously said that its customers have set up nearly 600 million iTunes accounts, the majority of which are tied to a credit card account.
Using those payment accounts as a foundation, the company is evaluating ways to make it easier for shoppers to buy physical products in apps and on the Web using their iPhones. The company is also considering how it might best help its customers make purchases in physical retail stores using only their phones and payment information stored in their iTunes accounts.
Re/code reported on these plans in January and noted that PayPal was looking to figure out a way to partner with Apple. According to a source, PayPal and Apple have continued to be engaged in talks as recently as last month. The details of those discussions are not known.
PayPal spokesman Anuj Nayar and Apple spokeswoman Trudy Muller declined to comment.
Apple has also considered acquiring Square, the mobile payments company started by Twitter co-founder Jack Dorsey. Such a deal would have helped Apple quickly establish a network of retailers to begin using its service. But Apple did not pursue the deal.
On the company's last earnings call, CEO Tim Cook did not hide the opportunity Apple sees in facilitating payments via its hardware and software, but would not confirm specific plans.
"We're seeing that people love being able to buy content, whether it's music or movies or books, from their iPhone, using Touch ID," he said at the time, noting the company's fingerprint identification technology. "It's incredibly simple and easy and elegant. And it's clear that there's a lot of opportunity there.
"The mobile payments area in general is one that we've been intrigued with, and that was one of the thoughts behind the Touch ID. But we're not limiting ourselves just to that."
While sources say Apple is now committed to acting on this opportunity, the fact that the company has only recently been interviewing for senior positions indicates that it has likely not settled on specific rollout plans.
As far as "payments", mobile or otherwise, are concerned, there are already two elephants in the room, the "bankcards", MasterCard and Visa; if anyone thinks that there is room for anyone else to be given interactive access to the banks of the world's customers' accounts, I think that they are dreaming. There simply is no way that the world's banks are going to let every "payment pretender" have direct, unfettered access to their customers' funds—that would undoubtedly create a nightmare for the banks. So, all the "middlemen" pretenders have to work via a Credit Card Merchant Accounts with their own retail banker …
Jason, great info.....
To add to Apple's strategic mobile wallet/payment initiative, Samsung has been poking around the not to surprising payment initiative with a job opportunity that has been alive on their job board since December...."As a senior business development manager for Samsung Wallet , this individual is responsible for identifying, defining and 'baking' new business opportunities, negotiating deals and managing key partners to the betterment of Samsung Wallet and also e- commerce services. "
It only makes sense for Apple to move forward in the Mobile Payments arena. There are many missing pieces of the puzzle though. With no industry wide POS adoption, mobile payments in general are dead. I would have thought it would have made sense for Apple to acquire Square as well, but with today's news of Square losing millions upon millions of dollars this no longer makes sense. What made sense about Square was a unified POS, loyalty system, payment system and a unified discount system all rolled into one nice bundle. So the technology Apple has, touchID, to make purchases really easy is there and it is slicker than a 1956 freshly waxed mustang, but with no POS integration or integrated loyalty/discount program the mustang will stay nice and pretty in the garage with no place to go.

DR. CARLSON: I think there are cut offs partly because of physical sampling, and in some cases, if you look at data for a particular region, like Los Padres National Forest, there is a larger size that is a constraint in that particular forest based on terrain, and where we have got urban areas, or where you hit desert or where you hit rivers and so on. But the tails are really important. There is again, this very broad span. There is a cut off at the low end, too, of fires we just don't bother to measure, and so it's the fact that there is this broad span and natural cut offs at the two ends.
DR. BANKS: This goes a bit outside the purview of the conference, but I wonder if you have any comments on the following. When you have a country like the United States, which basically is self-insuring against natural disasters, one can usually look at the historical record, and one of your early slides did that, to sort of give you a forecast of what the total costs are going to be in any given year. That sets the level at which money must be collected in order to maintain a balance on that. But then one might very well use some of that money to invest in efforts to harden areas against disaster. I just don't know about the economic theory that drives self-insured agencies. Do you know if anybody is looking at that type of thing?
DR. CARLSON: I don't know about that, but I think it falls within this category of 100-to-1 reactive spending, where we don't invest very much in research, and we don't invest as much as we should in building stronger barriers against these kinds of events. I think that's huge. We know in many cases that we are operating at or near capacity. So, with things like the power grid, we know that we are operating at or near capacity. If we put more resources in, we would be okay, but instead we have power failures. It's going to get worse instead of better because of increased population, increased demand.
DR. SZEWCZYK: So, why do you live in California?
DR. CARLSON: Yes, I think that's a really good question. I grew up in Indiana, and I was afraid of tornados in Indiana. So, in Indiana you would watch the news, and there would be these tornados that come through, then I went to school on the East Coast, and I went to California. I think the first earthquake that occurred after I moved to California was the one in Canada that people felt in New York. California is a little bit crazy but it's beautiful though.
