When discussing the NBA's best point guards, Mike Conley's name rarely comes up in the conversation.
If character, defense and winning were valued more highly, Conley may be the league's best.
Currently locked in a first-round playoff series with the Oklahoma City Thunder, Conley and the seventh-seeding Grizzlies have a great chance to pull off the upset. Thunder coach Scott Brooks is a big fan of Conley, recently telling NewsOK.com:
"Give credit to him, that he comes in every year a better player. He's as crafty, as heady, as any point guard in this league. He understands how to play. He understands the angles. He understands their team's strengths, very well. And he makes shots. His shot's improved every year. You can't drop off on him, because he can make 3's, even though he hasn't made a lot of 3's this series. He's a 3-point shooter off the dribble or on the catch."
Indeed, Conley has stepped up his play year after year. This season with Memphis, Conley averaged career-high's in scoring (17.2 points), field-goal percentage (45.0 percent), 3-pointers made (1.4), PER (20.0) and offensive rating (113). The Grizzlies finished 50-32 with Conley leading the charge, their fifth straight season with 40 wins or more.
Conley is widely regarded as one of the best defensive guards in the league. He's averaged 1.6 steals a game for his career and was named to the NBA's All-Defensive second team following the 2012-13 season.
Maybe as important or more so than his on-court talent is the way Conley handles himself as a professional. As a result, he was recently awarded the 2014 Joe Dumars Trophy for the NBA's leader in sportsmanship, which is voted on by the league's players.
"I'm honored and obviously it's a great achievement," Conley told ESPN.com "It says a lot about what you do for the team, the community and how the players respect you around the league. I'm just professional and care about the team, care about the city, care about the league."
This is a huge testament for the former Ohio State star, who many believed was drafted too high at No. 4 overall back in 2007. Instead, Conley has done nothing but reward Memphis for their trust in him by becoming a leader both on and off the floor.
While he may not have the handles of Kyrie Irving, the passing ability of Chris Paul or the athleticism of John Wall, Conley has more playoff series wins (three) than the three of those players combined.
This number could be on the rise soon if Conley and the Grizzlies can knock the Thunder out of the playoffs for the second time in as many years.
Whether they accomplish this feat or not, one can bet on Conley handling either outcome with class. After largely being an afterthought the past few years when discussing great point guards, Conley now deserves and should demand our respect.

Devil by Katelan Foisy, Lonesome Liz's Mojo Sideshow
The Devil
Music: Death Don't Have No Mercy (sung by the Devil Himself)
It's hard these days; it really is hard
to be the Devil. You just don't have any idea.
I KNEW this would happen.
I knew it! I did! I DID!
I was an Archangel!
Ok, ok, I AM an Archangel but back then I was a HAPPY Archangel.
You have no idea what a pain in the ass it is.
Think about it.
For example expelling someone from Eden; do you know how much WORK that is?
Try telling a virgin, "You're having a baby!"
Her Dad was right there, by the way.
"But it's GOD'S baby", doesn't go over well either.
You'd think it would be a helpful angle but it isn't.
But, for me anyway, at first everything was GREAT.
You know the story.
Or you THINK you know the story.
Here's what REALLY went down.
God kept changing his mind, to start with.
That's the main reason I left him.
Yea, that's right I left HIM.
And it was mostly because he was inconsistent!
FIRST, I was a serpent,
you know, the one in the garden?
I lost an arm and a leg over that…
Get it? A snake … doesn't have arms or legs?
Ok, ok not such a good joke, ok.
It may be hard to be the Devil,
but it's even harder to be a comedian.
The NEXT time the heavy stuff went down
was Job. Job, Job, Job!
A tortured man takes center stage, no matter what the epoch.
By the time we got to Job,
I wasn't even a snake anymore.
I was simply adversarial.
Granted, I was adversarial to God…
Did you know that's what 'Satan' means?
It means the adversary.
It does NOT mean 'embodiment of Evil'!
How in the Hell did I become the embodiment of Evil?
It's NOWHERE IN THERE!!!
I'm an Archangel!!!
I WASN'T THAT BAD! I didn't say do all that to Job.
Nooooo, I just said, "I bet Job would give up
believing in this God business if all that went down."
Next came Jesus, and well, Christ, he just about put me out of business,
though there were booms during the Crusades and Inquisition.
Now there's irony. That's what God is, ironic. Believe that.
I didn't WANT to be omnipotent, too much responsibility.
I wasn't cast out of Heaven because I wanted to BE God!
I just wanted to be like God.
And you know, if you read the Bible carefully,
that's what I told those cats out in Eden,
But I did say it would make them like Gods
And THAT is the one sin he just won't forgive.
What? You're saying how can I sin since I invented it?
Good question. I tried that argument. Didn't work.
And we return to the omnipotent issue.
And, by the way, I said like the "Gods". Plural.
I wasn't referring to the Almighty, I meant the Demi-Gods.
They're right above Angels in the hierarchy.
They took that out of course.
That's what happens with thousands of years of edits.
No one gets a straight story about the Devil anymore.
I used think, there's no way it was supposed to go down this way.
God couldn't possibly have meant THIS!
People being damned? I mean, what is that?
Hell, damnation, what do you think it is?
Let me guess, even by your kindest interpretation,
"It's the absence of God."
I tell you what, you DON'T. You might think you do,
but trust me. Go's there.
God's always there. He's omnipotent.
And always there is what omnipotent IS.
So no, hate to burst your bubble but
'absence of God' is not what Hell is.
It's God. Trust me. That one's unavoidable.
God may seem UNAVAILABLE but God's still God…
Speaking of availability,
how are we doing on those contracts?
This used to be easier to do.
Things start easy and they sure don't stay that way.
You think it's easy to find souls these days?
Hell no. It ain't easy
People sell their souls when times are bad, sure
but way more of them actually
go through with it when times are booming.
Boom towns, for example,
80% Hell bound no question.
Things change.
You'd think it was easy when times were bad but,
Thing is, it's easiest when times are GOOD.The Depression? That was slim pickings; slim pickings here too.
Anyone want to make a deal?
Death Don't Have No Mercy, Devil reprise

Playing a millionaire businessman, Rodney Dangerfield (in a totally natural casting choice) decides to enroll in college to help support his sons collegiate efforts. Having never been to college himself (millionaire businessmen dont need college, after all), Dangerfields character becomes the star student, throwing massive parties and hitting on hot professors. Often called a lesser Animal House, this romp through comedic silver presents Dangerfield in his element, throwing around acerbic one-liners like theyre going out of style. Some other things that Animal House doesnt have? Oingo Boingo, Sam Kinison and a young Robert Downey Jr.

Proposed Use of Drug Rilonacept for Gout Would Expose Patients to Serious Infections and Possibly Cancer for Minimal Benefits
Public Citizen Tells FDA Arthritis Advisory Committee to Reject Proposed Drug
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) should not approve an immunosuppressant for the prevention of gout flares in adult gout patients because the drug provides only trivial clinical benefits, but exposes patients to a known risk of serious infections and possibly to a slightly increased risk of malignancies and adverse cardiac events, Public Citizen told an FDA advisory committee today. Additionally, other, safer treatments to prevent gout flares are on the market.
The drug, rilonacept, also known as Arcalyst, is manufactured by Regeneron Pharmaceuticals and was approved by the FDA in 2008 only for treating a group of rare serious genetic disorders called cryopyrin-associated periodic syndromes, which cause widespread inflammation in the body. Regeneron now is seeking approval from the FDA to market the drug to prevent acute flares of gout in adult gout patients.
However, the drug offered only meager benefits in clinical trials in gout patients. Although the number of gout flare-ups was reduced in study subjects treated with rilonacept in comparison with subjects taking a placebo, the differences were very small. For example, the drug reduced the average number of gout flares per patient from about one per 16 weeks in patients taking the placebo treatment to 0.3 flare-ups in the same time period in patients getting the drug. Likewise, it reduced the number of days patients experienced moderate to severe pain from gout flares by about 1-2 days over a 16-week period.
In fact, nearly half of subjects in clinical trials treated with the placebo did not have a gout flare, indicating that if rilonacept were approved, 50 percent of patients treated with rilonacept would receive no benefit and only be exposed to the drug's risks, Public Citizen said.
At the same time, the drug has a known risk of serious infections, and the studies in gout patients raised concern that it may increase the risk of cancer and serious adverse cardiac events in adult gout patients.
"Given that rilonacept offers meager clinical benefits in preventing gout flares in the intended target population, approval of this drug would be justified only if there was certainty that the drug was extremely safe and there was an absence of serious safety signals identified during the clinical development of the drug. But this is not the case," Dr. Michael Carome, deputy director of Public Citizen's Health Research Group, told the FDA's Arthritis Advisory Committee. "In addition, other effective, safer, better studied – and likely significantly cheaper – treatments already are available for preventing and treating the acute flares of gout. Therefore, it would be irresponsible and reckless of the FDA to approve such a potent immunosuppressive drug."
The same advisory committee in June 2011 rejected a similar drug, canakinumab, for patients who suffer gouty arthritis attacks, because of an unfavorable benefit-risk profile. But in the case of rilonacept, the benefit-risk profile is even worse.

One of the earliest Homecoming celebrations to involve a football game was on Nov 11, 1929. The Eagles defeated East Texas State Teachers College 34-0 in the Armistice Day Game. Attendants were referred to as "home comers" in the yearbook. Activities included a parade of bands around the downtown square, a boarding house decoration contest, a pre-game barbeque and a dance after the game sponsored by the Talons.
During World War II, official Homecoming festivities and football games were suspended. November 1946 marked the first postwar Homecoming celebration and included the election of the first Homecoming Queen, Nikki Hendrix. Hendrix was elected by the football team, and the tradition of the team electing the queen continued until 1952, when the student body elected the Homecoming Queen.
The coldest UNT Homecoming of the century began Friday night, Nov 12, 1976, with a torchlight parade and Bonfire to keep 200 attendants from freezing. By game time that afternoon, Fouts Field was buried under six inches of snow. Some Florida State players had never seen snow, so the team built a snowman before the games as some 3,800 warmly dresses fans filled the stands. Halftime was also not to be forgotten in this premature blanket of snow. Four brave musicians marched onto the field and entertained the crowds with the university fight song, Jingle Bells and White Christmas.
Homecoming is a great time to show your Mean Green spirit. Come out and celebrate. Go Mean Green!

Equality and Diversity
This year, the Homecoming Crew wanted to make an effort to expand the diversity of Homecoming Court. We will still have a homecoming court made up of four women and four men. The top candidate from each category will be deemed Homecoming Royalty. The intention was to allow students to feel comfortable running as their associated gender. For example, a female that associates as being male could run as a male candidate.
Role Models
The Homecoming Royalty will serve as role models for the entire campus and university. Candidates must exhibit qualities such as leadership, diversity, character, communication skills, and creativity. The two students that are chosen to be Homecoming Royalty are a positive representation of the University of North Texas.

VMedia produces a 1.2", blue laser optical disk that holds one gigabyte per layer. Current discs have one layer, which is good enough to hold a 3.5-hour Bollywood movie in H.264 format at 720x576 resolution, Packman said. The company is working on a 2GB disk for next year, he said.
In an era when everyone's talking about moving to online media, physical media still has a commanding presence in sales, Packman said.
About that online media - while streaming to a cell phone isn't likely to become that popular at current speeds, you could just rip the movie to a SD card instead. After all, those Vmedia discs are tiny and easy to lose. SD cards are tiny, but they usually just stay in the phone.
Besides which, although the Bollywood angle is obvious because of the Indian carrier, don't expect U.S. studios to jump into yet another disc format.
This is an idea that seems likely to go nowhere.

Salmonella forming a biofilm on an agar plate. Photo: Nesse & Vestby, National Veterinary Institute
Virginia Tech scientists have provided new evidence that biofilms — bacteria that adhere to surfaces and build protective coatings — are at work in the survival of the human pathogen Salmonella.
Researchers affiliated with the Fralin Life Science Institute discovered that in addition to protecting Salmonella from heat-processing and sanitizers such as bleach, biofilms preserve the bacteria in extremely dry conditions, and again when the bacteria are subjected to normal digestive processes. The study is now online in the International Journal of Food Microbiology and appears in the April issue.
I wonder if the wrinkling from center outwards is in any way related to C.albicans phenotypes on spider plates.

I went to Dimples on 22/10/12 for a 'blackhead removal' £15 service. I was extremely dissapointed with the treatment given. The therapist failed to remove any blackheads and my skin looked the exact same as when I walked in! no difference to skin whatsoever. The cleansers used were cheap Skintruth products, which you can find at Sallys. The cleansing methods used were incorrect. For example the rubbing of eyes.. any facialist will tell you the eye area is far too delicate to do that and you should only press. I also didn't like the way they used cheap sponges and found everything used very amateur in comparison to facials I have recieved elsewhere. This treatment (and that's a longstretch, as it doesn't treat anything) was cleansing (at least 3 times) and a few prods with a blackhead removal stick with a steam on. There is no way my skin looked any better or different and i was mislead from the booklet, which claims its a blackhead removal service, when no blackheads were removed. If it was called a cleansing service, fair enough, but the purpose of this facial is to remove blackheads!
I complained and the receptionist was extremely rude towards me and did not take anything I said into consideration! I explained to the therapist I was not satisfied with the 'results' and so would not be paying, walked out and got accused of 'doing a runner' and not having any money. I proceeded to show them a wad of notes proving that i did!! I explained that I had already had a discussion with this with the facialist before she walked out of the treatment room to go downstairs and thread someone else (without listening to my concerns, and telling the reception stuff competely different information to what I had said). There were no results from this 'treatment' and there was no way I was paying full price, The receptionist refused to let me have it checked and didn't seem concerned in the slightest about what I had to say or the condition my skin was in; just getting the money from me. I paid half price in the end and am even angry at having to pay that much for something which hasn't done one thing!
I was told i wouldn't be allowed back but there is no way I would want to anyway!
I advise you not to have any skin treatments here as there are no visible results not to mention the poor service. The salon rooms looked unkempt and this was not a relaxing treatment or a results driven treatment, just a waste of time. If you are looking for a professional facial i recommend you look elsewhere. This was the worst experience I have ever had at any salon.

Just click through the damned pages, already. That is no more an admission of guilt than your signature on a speeding ticket is an admission of guilt. By clicking through the offered pages you are acknowledging that you have received notice of an accusation of piracy, and "assimilated" certain BS propaganda disguised as, "educational material". Then you get your Internet access back.Until an agent of the MPAA/RIAA shows up on your doorstep to serve you a court order to appear before a judge in a court of law, this is just a BS circle jerk you have to work through; a "speed bump" on the Information Highway".--Norman~Oh Lord, why have you come~To Konnyu, with the Lion and the Drum
Brings up an interesting point....I keep an open wireless connection for visitors at my house (openwireless.org). The ISP can't verify that it was actually me that then clicked on that acknowledgement page should it come up.But that also goes back to the whole problem of this accusation system... that an IP address does not equal a person and is not guaranteed to lead to the person supposedly violating said copyright.
Most ISP TOSs essentially say that the person who is the subscriber to the Internet services is responsible for anything that is done on their connection. If you choose to allow guests or other individuals access to your service, that's OK as long as you assume responsibility for their behavior while using it.Effectively, the ISP (in this case, Time Warner/RoadRunner) is saying, "You can't use our Internet services to illegally access copyrighted material."So all this said, yeah, I think the whole thing is absurd, and frankly it seems like it's going to take an awful lot of resources to both detect and enforce this whole thing...resources that could be better spent giving us better service. Thanks a bunch, RIAA (said rich in sarcasm)...

Nice guide Argent.Also:
Never seen Berubians, matey?Neither have I....
Nicely done on the Guide. love it!
Looks like we'll need the holy hand grenade for this one...
Rogues spec'd into Fan of Knives interrupts can still make this easy - but this cheat will be gone in the next patch, so don't rely on it too much.This "cheat" is no longer in the game.
I'll just give my 2cents on how we do things in our guild :)IcehowlIcehowl: Frothing Rage is not removable now.If that's the buff after he hits someone on his charge, it is removable. It wasn't at first, but it is now :)*Just checked patch notes, nothing about it there. But I swear we did it twice the other day!You will need 3 tanks for this. When Gormok is active, tanks will need to switch every 2 stacks of Impale - it is advised that you use damage reduction cooldowns and/or trinkets after the first full rotation.We use 2 tanks for this. Me as a paladin, and the other as a Death Knight. The DK starts tanking taking 2 stacks, then I'll taunt and get 4 stacks and the DK taunts back. I'll use bubble to remove the stacks, and the DK will take 4 stacks. To lower the damage on him, I use sacrifice on 3rd stack, and he uses some cooldowns on 4th. I'll taunt back, and give DK Hand of Protection. Then i'll tank the rest, and dead. This will free up a DPS spot, and that was very much needed for our guild.Lord JaraxxusWe noticed that portals and volcano's always spawns at the left side of Jaraxxus, so about 3 seconds before our melee DPS will go and stand ready. With only 1 Mistress spawning, the fight will go more smooth. When Infernals spawn, I'll tank the boss on one spike of the star, dragging him to the next if we get a infernal on us. This way our add tank have the middle to control the adds, therefor they cant run out of taunt range.Faction ChampionsWe tried CC. 40 wipes. Someone says on vent "Hmm, 1 warlock CC druid, rest zerg?" - Faction Champions down. Some guilds are better of CC'ing, others, like us, can just nuke.We still need to down twins and anoob, so nothing more here. :) My native language isn't English. I did misspell something, but if you didn't know what I meant by it, don't read it.
If that's the buff after he hits someone on his charge, it is removable. It wasn't at first, but it is now :)It can be removed on normal, but no on heroic to my knowledge.We tried CC. 40 wipes. Someone says on vent "Hmm, 1 warlock CC druid, rest zerg?" - Faction Champions down. Some guilds are better of CC'ing, others, like us, can just nuke.Might be an idea to get into your kill order or just who you zerged first ;)
For casters, make sure you have a spell from school you don't usually use (sorry, paladins, sucks to be you here), dragged somewhere handy. Hit it as soon as you see Mistress' Kiss on you - this way your least used school will be locked, and you will be able to keep on DPSing/healing.You can cast your Hearthstone and it locks that out instead so Paladins don't have to feel unloved.
If that's the buff after he hits someone on his charge, it is removable. It wasn't at first, but it is now :)It can be removed on normal, but no on heroic to my knowledge.I am talking about heroic. It seemed we did remove it.We tried CC. 40 wipes. Someone says on vent "Hmm, 1 warlock CC druid, rest zerg?" - Faction Champions down. Some guilds are better of CC'ing, others, like us, can just nuke.Might be an idea to get into your kill order or just who you zerged first ;)Alright, we took 1 healers first, shaman, and then nuke 2 DPS, prefer rogue and warrior. Then it's just random :)
I listed all the available cloaks (plus the one in the item itself) on the comments:http://www.wowhead.com/?item=47551Just in case anyone was curious like I was to the expertly vaguely worded "high level cloak" :DThey're not on Wowhead yet but the WoW Armory links work just fine.
I was not sure if it was 272 or 278 :P
Holy damn. Anub'arak Heroic Mode looks incredibly brutal.
A few things to be corrected. Some of this is 10-man specific, but still highly relevant:You have another 9 minutes to kill , otherwise he will enrage.This is ambiguous. I suspect what you meant to say is that you have 9 minutes total for all three bosses, since Icehowl will enrage after 3 minutes of being in the Arena. That means, in practical terms, he enrages on the fourth charge, so you have four "Stunned" periods before you will wipe.You will need 3 tanks for this. When Gormok is active, tanks will need to switch every 2 stacks of ImpaleI have to disagree with this. We run with two tanks and three healers in 10-man; we don't have any problems. One piece of advice is, if you have a Paladin in your group, when Gormok dies he should BoP the tank with the greater number of stacks of Impale, so that tank damage on the Worms isn't insane.You will deal with Snobolds depending on how much DPS you have,Any DoT classes can easily multi-DoT the snobolds and Gormok himself, working on the Snobolds as a priority while just keeping the DoTs on Gormok ticking over. There's no reason to ignore them -- "Ignore when X, Y and Z" creates complications that can lead to more confusion than you need from something that is already quite a highly focused fight. Besides which, leaving them alive is yet more healing that needs to be done. Your DPS will need to switch to the newly spawned Portals/Volcanos as soon as they spawn.This needs emphasising. Lots. It is the entire fight. Recommend a /tar Nether Portal macro, and start spamming it when DBM says there's five second left before a portal spawns. You can afford 3-4 Infernals, but you absolutely cannot afford two Mistresses of Pain (in 10-man) unless you greatly out-gear the instance.Twin Val'kyr changesThe Light/Dark shield that goes up when they start casting Twin's Pact will absorb more damage before breaking. It is advisable to have both of them tanked more centrally, almost on top of each other, so that things like Heart Strike and Chain Lightning can assist with the DPS there. Switching alignment for the purpose of killing an opposite-aligned shield should still not be necessary, though. Everyone just needs to be on the ball with switching and nuking.
Actually, I think it's a good idea to let the "Berubian" Burrowers... burrow in phase 3. This will reduce the amount of damage the OT has to take, but the OT will have to quickly pick them up if they come back up. Healers will need to keep an eye on the tanks, and the people who's been afflicted with Penetrating Cold, since that one ticks for 6k on 10-man. Wiping at 25k is never fun... >.<
You guyz don't switch the essence for dpsing when opposite colored Val'kyr shields? Can someone clarify this? We are losing a lot of time to change our essence.
Basically you have to choose wether you lose more dps by attacking a same color twin (ie 25 or 50% reduced damage) or by moving to get to the right color and then start dpsing the twin (ie you don't do any dps while you move + higher risk of being hit by wrong balls)
The best way to avoid the DPS loss is to tank the twins right next to the portal with the opposite color your DPS is using.So, if you're nuking the white twin and all your DPS are using the black color, tank her right next the white portal. The DPS can switch very quickly to white to nuke the dark shield or survive the AoE, then lose some time to walk towards the black portal again to resume DPS'ing.
The shield is a neutral colour in normal so you don't have to change colour. I assumed it was the same in heroic unless somebody knows differently?
Icehowl: Frothing Rage is not removable now.False. You can now use enrage removing abilities to get it off.
Only need 2 tanks for Gormok. I've tanked him multiple times in ToGC 10 with each tank never going above 2 stacks.

NASHVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11/AP) -- It may be a month before investigators find out if remains found in a wooded area of Brown County are male or female.
The bones were found last Thursday by two women who were mushroom hunting off Wise Hollow Road.
Brown County coroner Earl Piper said the body body had been in the remote area for "a couple of years or so at least," but forensic testing will help determine the gender and age of the person. Police are looking at missing person reports, and investigators will work with DNA experts and dentists in an effort to identify the remains.
The remains were found less than 30 miles from Bloomington where Indiana University co-ed Lauren Spierer went missing in June 2011. Bloomington police said it is too early to determine if the bones are Spierer's remains and will wait for a forensics report before getting involved in the case.

It's hard to believe that we're just beginning the second day of Spiritual Leadership Conference. Yesterday was full and blessed, and I'm looking forward to another full day today.
Yesterday afternoon, we began the conference with our annual church planter's luncheon. This time with church planters is always a highlight to me. As men around the room introduced themselves and told the cities where they are planting churches—from the West Coast to the Midwest to the East Coast and a few foreign countries—it was a joy to see that God is still stirring men's hearts for needy cities around the world.
In yesterday evening's service, we recognized the church planters again—some which did not arrive in time for the afternoon luncheon. Once again, it was a joy to see so many willing to step out in faith to plant churches. We need more church planters, and I want to do everything I can to encourage those willing to go.
The evening's theme was "Renewed in Our Soulwinning," and our media department put together a video with testimonies of those saved recently through the soulwinning ministry of Lancaster Baptist Church. Many of those recently saved and discipled in our church then came on the platform as testimony to the fact that the gospel still works! In every city around the world, there are still people hungry for the truth of the gospel. We need renewed soulwinners who will be faithful witnesses of Christ's salvation. (more…)

Yup, he was scared shitless!
Earlier this week, I pointed out that Facebook was scared shitless to buy Instagram for $1 billion in stock and cash. Today, Evelyn Rusli reports:
Less than 24 hours after the ink dried on Instagram's latest financing round — an investment that valued it at roughly $500 million — Mr. Zuckerberg placed a call to Kevin Systrom, Instagram's chief executive, according to people with knowledge of the matter, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the discussions were private.
Mr. Zuckerberg was blunt: Facebook wanted to buy Instagram. Over the next 48 hours, Facebook and Instagram hammered out the details for a $1 billion cash-and-stock deal, the social network's largest acquisition to date, the people said. By the end of Sunday, the deal was done and announced the following day.

Along with @Naveed Anwar I use Facebook less and less. I used Path from the very day it was released to share photos with friends.

Comments about 1-1/4 in. x 35 ft. Measuring Tape:
I had just been looking at this tape measure a few days before. I would not buy it a full price, but the on-line deal could not be passed up. As I anticipated, the tape measure is heavy and, compared with my other tape, not so easy to use. It will span 35' rather than 25' for my current tape. The clip at the end will hook an edge just about any which way. The stand-out is unbeatable. I like this purchase and will find many uses for it, but it isn't my first choice for measuring.
Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Vt. college falls 40 feet from bridgeFebruary 18,2013
COLCHESTER Colchester police say a St. Michaels College student remains hospitalized after jumping off a bridge and falling 40 feet while running from security officers.
Police said Friday nights chain of events began when the man allegedly destroyed merchandise at a convenience store and was chased by college security when he was spotted running through campus.
Police told the Burlington Free Press that the man jumped over the rail of a bridge without warning and fell about 40 feet onto railroad tracks below.
The man was taken to Fletcher Allen hospital, where he was treated in the intensive care unit and remained hospitalized Saturday night.
Police say the man is an out-of-state student at St. Michaels College, but they withheld releasing his name pending notification of his family.MORE IN Vermont NewsSOUTH BURLINGTON With less than two weeks until the general election, Republican gubernatorial...

#2014-002 Xalan-Java insufficient secure processing
The Xalan-Java library is a popular XSLT processor from the Apache Software
The library implements the Java API for XML Processing (JAXP) which supports a
secure processing feature for interpretive and XSLCT processors. The intent of
this feature is to limit XSLT/XML processing behaviours to "make the XSLT
processor behave in a secure fashion".
It has been discovered that the secure processing features suffers from several
limitations that undermine its purpose. The enabling of the secure processing
feature in fact still allows the following processing to take place:
* Java properties, bound to XSLT 1.0 system-property(), are accessible.
* output properties that allow to load arbitrary classes or resources
are allowed (XALANJ-2435).
* arbitrary code can be executed if the Bean Scripting Framework (BSF)
is in the classpath, as it allows to spawn available JARs with secure
processing disabled, effectively bypassing the intended protection.
Affected version:
Xalan-Java >= 2.7.0
Fixed version:
Xalan-Java >= r1581058 (see references)

Random BSOD cannot track the cause
I keep having random BSODs. Sometimes twice a day. It may occur when using the computer, could be just about anytime, playing on Armor Games, or checking hotmail, or just surfing the web. It also happens when the computer is idle. After leaving it on, I will come back to it an it will be rebooting (or have rebooted from) a BSOD.
Mostly getting the IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL
Dumps are attached.

New Products
Dual magnetic sensor tackles safety-critical engine throttle applications
The KMA220 is calibrated and ready to use and incorporates three capacitors in addition to two sensors dies and two signal conditioning ASICs. This, combined with its dual nature, reduces system cost for customers and simplifies the assembly process. To achieve redundancy in throttle applications, car manufacturers have previously had to install two single sensors on a leadframe or onto a PCB, bending them to fit ─ typically requiring an expensive ring magnet configuration to operate. With the dual KMA220 sensor, only one simple installation is required.
The KMA220 uses NXP's proprietary ABCD9 technology, an automotive platform at the cutting edge of analog mixed-signal integration. This technology is based on NXP's CMOS 14 process and significantly improves performance compared to previous sensor products with integrated ASICs. The KMA220 is also qualified according to the new HMM (Human Metal Model) with high electrostatic discharge (ESD) protection and EMC performance.
The KMA220 is an addition to NXP's family of position sensors for automotive applications in a unique package. As a next step, the vendor plan to release a single sensor product in the same package which means that customers will be able to use the same assembly process for all applications, making it easy for them to choose and install the right solution for their products."
NXP's automotive sensor family is exceptionally robust, capable of operating at temperatures of up to 160 degrees C, compared to the industry average of 150. This is vital for use in EGR (exhaust gas recirculation) applications, where every degree counts.
The KMX220 is available immediately; pricing starts at $3.30 for 10k quantities. For more information visit http://www.nxp.com/products/sensors/angular_sensors/KMA220.html

The site Julianne and Marc chose for their new home is at the highest point of Salt Lake City's Promontory neighborhood, with views so enticing that Julianne says they find themselves going there year-round. "You know what they say about mountain towns—the winters bring you, but the summers bring you back. We get so much light and a wonderful breeze, and then there's all the wildlife, including elk and deer, walking through our yard. It's heaven."
The house blends naturally into the mountain terrain.

game over for Win the Planet
we have a saying in Romania that goes like "ori la bal ori la spital", translated as "either to the ball or to the hospital". i've always used it to describe to myself and to others the entrepreneurial path i've decided to walk. the reason i love it is because it describes perfectly the type of mentality one needs to have in order to take the amount of risk involved, to work and hope for brilliant success but stay prepared none the less for utter failure.
for a bit of perspective, my startup adventure with Win the Planet began three years ago out of a random conversation about having an online global lottery that invests all the profits in sustainability projects. it was a highly idealistic concept derived from the optimistic, and sometimes downright naive, mindset that followed my AIESEC experience in the Dominican Republic. i tried putting together a team to deliver on this idea, but it was soon evident that we all had different things occupying our time and consuming our energies. i persevered none the less, moonlighting on it along with my full time job; during this time i started to have this strong feeling that i could not really work in a team where decisions were taken based on consensus; if i were to be part of something, to really believe in it and dedicate myself fully to it, things had to, needed to, be done my way.
after about one year it became evident to us that lotteries in particular and gambling in general were a highly regulated and almost impossible market to get into as a bootstrapped startup, especially if you wanted to do things online. we tried to "soften" the concept and do raffles instead of lotteries, but those too proved to be a strongly protected market, especially in Europe. i had two lovely ladies who more or less continued to believe in the vision and worked with me throughout this period. at that point i realized that it's very hard, if not downright impossible, for most people to believe in your idea as much as you do and to thus work on it as hard as you do.
then, i decided that Win the Planet will do a "pivot", a BS word in the startup world that basically means you are changing the startup idea. this is how we moved into the social "gaming for good" market, a change that cost me the support of the two lovely ladies i mentioned earlier, who slowly started drifting away. needing an experienced technical person to help me on the programming side, i convinced Javier to become my co-founder; it was March 2011 and we were highly motivated. both of us still needed to keep jobs that paid the bills, so we were working part time on Win the Planet. out of a random conversation with a friend came up the first game idea, which Javier implemented a few weeks later: it was ugly, with a clumsy interface and a quite difficult (but slightly fun) gameplay. the summer came and went, and towards autumn i became very focused on getting some investment capital for Win the Planet. i applied to the top incubators and startup accelerators, but none of them selected us. at the same time, i decided to take the bull by the horns and quit my corporate job. 2011 taught me that working part time on a startup for too long can cripple the team.
the beginning of 2012 was a very interesting time for me, but not very productive for Win the Planet. Javier was mostly focusing on finishing his Masters studies, while i decided to get involved part time in helping out projects at The Hub Vienna. while working with the people there i realized that, even though i might like the concept of "consulting" in the sense of working for a predetermined amount of time and with set objectives, i am an absolute control freak who doesn't really care that much about other people's opinions. this experience also cemented my belief that taking decisions by committee is the surest way to failure; being an autocratic asshole that does everything his way might not be a comfortable manner of working for most people, but it sure beats the flaky, political gaming and passing around of responsibility that you get when using a "democratic" process to manage your team. and i also learned in a painful way that one needs to always ask for some downpayment when working project-based, before one puts in significant amounts of work; otherwise, if things go downhill (and they usually do) people suddenly forget their promises, along with the value of your work.
during spring i continued to apply to incubators, with the constant refusals which i came to expect by now, stemming partly from the fact that i always had to mention in applications that Javier will not be able to join the startup full time until the summer, when he would have finished his Masters studies; as you can imagine, not having the founders work full time on their startup is something that no incubator wants to hear. none the less we kept at it, applying even to Startup Chile, the very last option we had on the list. and guess what? we got in! it meant that we would get a guaranteed amount of seed money in return for which both myself and Javier needed to be in Chile for six months, from August 2012 to February 2013. in parallel, i was also trying to find an angel investor in Europe; thanks to the help of a few great girls and guys in The Hub, i managed to get a quite sizable offer from one of the top angel investors in Austria, valuing Win the Planet at several million dollars. but, as luck would have it, at the exact same time when discussing with this Austrian investor, i also took a trip to Silicon Valley. that experience made me see much clearly our potential as a startup, along with the jarring differences between the European and the American startup scenes and investor mentalities. with that in mind, and also due to restrictive share ownership requirements from our potential investor which we believed would have severely limited our ability to raise money later on in Silicon Valley, we decided to respectfully refuse the money. the potential investor was quite understanding of our decision, and we parted ways in the friendliest of manners, along with the mention that his offer was still valid should we change our minds later on.
at this point both me and Javier were highly motivated (they don't call it the startup roller-coaster for nothing), with enough seed money guaranteed from Startup Chile to take us through the next months and a multimillion dollar valuation for our startup to help us raise money later on. we hired two of Javier's friends as software developers, moved to Santiago and started working properly. and that's when things really started to go downhill: everything was much more challenging that we initially thought, due to the guys needing to learn the new tools we were going to use, along with their difficulty of adapting to the productivity requirements of a startup. the game we spent two months developing turned out to be very hard for people to play (it seems that my notion of "casual gameplay" was not as casual as i thought) and the website we made was quite ugly (mainly because we decided to implement my crappy ideas instead of paying for an experienced designer). overall we kept missing the timelines we set for ourselves, and we weren't really gelling as a team either.
as 2012 came to an end, it began to dawn on both myself and Javier that it might not make any sense to continue. one needs to make a clear distinction between the inherent valleys in motivation, what Seth Godin calls "the dip", and the chasms of real failure. i understood that perseverance is a good thing in certain doses, but taken too far it becomes a one way road to perdition. and to spend yet another year working on something that clearly does not work would be exactly that.
on the sentimental side though, i've put my blood, sweat and tears in Win the Planet. for the past three years it was a huge part of my life, it was the thing in the back of my mind from the time i woke up in the morning to the time i went to sleep at night, at the end of countless 16 hours working days. it constituted one of the very few reasons for pushing forward, and it offered me huge motivational highs and constant demoralizing lows. the most important is that i loved what i was doing: all the obstacles, the frustrations, the failures, they were all justified by the fact that it was my thing, done my way and according to my rules. so you might understand why it broke my heart to seriously consider doing something that i've rarely done in my life: quit.
but the voice of reason had become too strong to ignore, and as such we decided to shut the whole thing down.
how do i feel about it?
at first i was disappointed with myself. i kept trying to explain it all, to find the reason why i failed, why we failed. then i began to accept this outcome for what it is: just another step on a long and difficult journey. i know that i'm the main person to blame for this failure and i assume complete responsibility. but i also know that at least half of every success or failure is pure randomness, and that knowledge helped in mellowing a bit the pangs of remorse.
today, one month later, i feel relieved that this whole episode of my life has ended and i look very much towards the future. what's done is done, i cannot change the past, and even if i could i most likely wouldn't do it because i don't have any regrets: everything i said and did, every decision i made and every risk i took was with full knowledge that we might all end up in the proverbial "hospital" i mentioned earlier. as the brits say, all one can do is keep calm and carry on.
but, before the final dot is placed and the story comes to an end, i want to take a few moments to acknowledge you my dear reader, along with those who stood by me during this period.
some of you were there all the way, from beginning to end, through the highs and lows. you know who you are and you know that i love you.
some of you were there at certain times, helping out to the best of your abilities. as i've said it then, i say it now: thank you for believing in me and for all the efforts you put in Win the Planet.
and most of you were only silent observers, supportive or not. to you i say that success and failure are but two sides of a coin called life. it matters a lot which side you're faced with, but it's much more important to simply throw it in the air and hope for the best. only in those moments, in those few seconds when winning and loosing are equally probable, will you feel truly alive.

Bank Calories During the Week For the Weekend
Do You Eat Whatever You Want Over the Weekends?
They explained that during the week, their diets are strict, regimented, and controlled. Once the weekend rolls around, it's all out the window: indulgent brunches, Bloody Mary happy hours, and a Saturday spent bar hopping are all the norm. They told me that they "bank" calories during the week to use on the weekend. While I definitely give myself a little break on weekends, I am still pretty mindful of what I eat. Especially since two days filled with booze, fried foods, and refined carbs is enough to leave me feeling hungover into the work week.

Numerous opportunities exist in the surgical tech field for San Diego residents. The city has been a hotbed for those seeking a career in the medical care industry since the Second World War, when a number of hospitals opened up to serve military personnel shipping in or out with the U.S. Navy.
Today, population increase in Southern California and the specialization of medical care has opened the door for students desiring to enter the medical professional as a surgical assistant.
The training involved is geared toward knowledge of the human body and how it is affected by injuries, how preventative surgery helps to keep the body in good health, and how surgical procedures are carried out. Doctors rely on well-trained assistants during and after the actual operating procedure in much the same way a dentist depends on the assistance provided in an examination room. Surgical assistants also have a leg up on the competition when it comes to advancement in the medical sector.
Educational Requirements For Surgical Techs
California state law does not require certification to work as a surgical assistant. However, completing a program at an accredited institution allows an individual to consider a greater number of job possibilities. Most degree programs are upper-class and require two years of undergraduate credits before the coursework can be undertaken. Many of the specialized training courses are from one to two years in length, and the student is awarded a Bachelor's degree, Associate's degree, or certificate of completion that helps open doors in the job market.
Classes involve a study of the following:
- Medical terminology
- Human anatomy
- Operating room procedures
- Use of specialized instruments and how to prepare them
- Assisting patients with mobility and preparing them for surgery
Many of the accredited institutions in the San Diego area that offer degree or certificate programs for surgical technicians require previous credit in the areas of biology, chemistry, and general nursing. Upon completion of the program, students may also take a national certification exam. This helps immensely in the search for jobs, especially those that pay a monthly salary that is above the national average.
Surgical Tech Schools In San Diego
The Concorde Career College in San Diego offers a full program that covers various surgical technician and surgical assistant job duties. There are lecture classes, laboratory time, and a series of exams that must be passed before a degree is earned. Those with sufficient undergraduate college credit can earn their Bachelor's degree with a core emphasis on surgical assistant training at Concorde Career College.
In nearby Oceanside, the MiraCosta College offers an extensive operating room surgical assistant course. This school is also accredited and is recognized by the CAAHEP. This is a 38-credit program that includes both classwork and a minimum number of hours in an actual operating room. Students may choose either the certificate of achievement program or the Associate in Arts degree program.
South of San Diego, the Southwestern College in Chula Vista offers an Associate in Science degree program for surgical assistant students. The student undertakes a 56-credit course that includes the same training that is required for surgical technician certification. Remaining credits involve classes in writing, biology, humanity, psychology, and mathematics.
A certificate or degree from one of the accredited schools in the San Diego area does not guarantee a full-time position, but the education and knowledge will certainly make the job search much easier.
Graduates of these programs will be able to apply for positions with:
- Rehabilitation clinics
- Dental surgery centers
- Trauma centers and emergency care clinics
- Veterinary hospitals
- Cosmetic surgery clinics
Many employers will require certification or the holding of a Bachelor's or Associate's degree before considering a candidate. Although the number of jobs in the field of surgical techs is growing across Southern California, the candidate that has completed a degree program will find a greater number of available openings for which they qualify.
National certification can be obtained after the coursework is completed. Entities that provide examinations for certification include the National Center for Competency Testing, the National Board of Surgical Technology, and the National Healthcare Association.
Students earning their degree at an accredited school will receive assistance from their advisor concerning national certification as a surgical tech.
Salaries For Surgical Technicians
The average starting salary for a surgical assistant in the San Diego area is approximately $35,000. Those who are certified as a First Surgical Assistant and who have passed the exam for national certification may be offered a position that pays $40,000 or more. Those with at least three years of experience may earn in excess of $60,000. This is especially true if the student participated in an internship program after earning a degree or certificate.
The number of surgical tech jobs in the Southern California region is expected to increase by as much as 10 percent over the next five to ten years. This is primarily due to the growing population and the need for specialty care for the aging members of society.
The number of citizens above the age of 70 has been growing steadily thanks to the baby boom in the mid-20th century. This has resulted in a greater need for health care specialists, especially those educated in the surgical procedure sector.
