Nortman posted on his twitter he seen Gano nail a 73 yarder in warm ups. If only the ball got past the line of scrimmage, I think it would have been good. Its a shame
12 November 2014 - 12:56 PM
You don't do the things the Panthers have done over the past 8 months to your franchise QB. Stephen A. is right, the Panthers sold him out.
Gettleman you are a piece of fuging poo. I cant even begin to understand. How would they not want him to be a Panther long term? How could Gettleman not want Cam as his franchise guy? This is the most frustrated Ive ever been as a fan..
A QB like Cam is unprecedented, there has never been a QB as much as an athletic freak as Cam but now he sucks?
Well everything on offense fuging sucks, is super man supposed to save them? Makes me sick to think they did this to lower Cam's price.
It makes me sick to think Gettleman can go into a room and say well, heres the price WE think he is because he was awful last year.
BUT BUT BUT, he had no mother fuging line, a rookie #1 and Greg Olsen, Gettleman you wanted him to win with THAT? fug YOU!
Cam deserves a big deal and had we not been strapped down by paying shitty running backs and a shitty defensive end, or a defensive end that is not even playing we would, and WILL have the money to give Cam what he deserves.
I almost wish Cam would refuse to play. We wont ever do poo on offense. He cant catch the ball and run it and throw it, he can only do so much.
10 November 2014 - 11:45 PM
Gotta figure out a way to get the man in a Panthers uniform next year. He is a fug up off the field but he will get another shot somewhere.
JAX doesn't need him with Robinson and Lee trade him to us for a 5th we need a guy like him. He will be eligible to play again next season right? Call me crazy but a guy like Blackmon (off field issues aside) is just what we need, or one of the things we need on offense.
10 November 2014 - 10:51 PM
08 November 2014 - 01:35 PM
I want to go, not far from Philly 2.5 hours. I have never been there and I want a Philly cheese steak so bad.
But I don't want to go and then see our shitty offensive line not block for 4 quarters and have the Eagles just destroy us.
On paper it doesn't look good but anything can happen in the NFL and perhaps the team with the mini bye will come out looking like a well oiled machine.
That is what we are all hoping for but tickets for this game aren't cheap and the offensive line damps my hopes.
Does the mini bye help us or not? We had some time to get healthy, get 100% and it is November now. Nov and Dec are Ron's money months, does this continue? God I hope so.
A win in Philly could be the start to something big. A long win streak.
Philly's defense sucks pretty bad, #23 but with our offense we could make them look like #1
How much of a bitch is parking in Philly? And how likely am I to get killed wearing a Newton or Dwill jersey. How good are the cheese steaks?
Is this going to be a good game or do we come out looking like we did in our losses. Does our offensive line stop Philly's pass rush or is Cam running for his life? Can our offensive muster ANYTHING up on Monday?

I'm new to Ruby, and I am writing a test program just to get some of the features down. Here is the program
#!/usr/bin/env ruby
class FileManager
def read_file(filename)
return nil unless File.exist?(filename)
if __FILE__ == $0
fm = FileManager.new
puts "What file would you like to open?"
fname = gets
puts fm.read_file fname
As you can see, it is very simple. If I comment the first line of the
read_file method, I get this error
No such file or directory - /Users/macuser/Projects/Aptana\ Studio\ 3\ Workspace/Ruby\ Test/text (Errno::ENOENT)
from /Users/macuser/Projects/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/Ruby Test/ruby.rb:6:in `read_file'
from /Users/macuser/Projects/Aptana Studio 3 Workspace/Ruby Test/ruby.rb:15:in `<main>'
when I run the program and use this file:
/Users/macuser/Projects/Aptana\ Studio\ 3\ Workspace/Ruby\ Test/text
However, if I run
cat /Users/macuser/Projects/Aptana\ Studio\ 3\ Workspace/Ruby\ Test/text, it outputs
Hello, world!, as it should.
I don't believe it's a permissions issue because I own the folder, but just in case I've tried running the program as root. Also, I have made sure that
fname is the actual name of the file, not nil. I've tried both escaped and unescaped versions of the path, along with just
text or the full path. I know for a fact the file exists, so why is Ruby giving me this error?

Sweeping economic reform initiated by China President Xi Jinping in November 2013 marked a turning point for the world's second biggest economy. If implemented fully, China's potential GDP growth can be sustained at 6 percent through 2020. One risk: Falling short of that growth rate could result in growth at half that projection, or worse, leading to a new economic crisis, according to a new study.

SAN DIEGO, CA and BERLIN -- (Marketwire) -- 01/09/13 -- LightPointe, a manufacturer of wireless broadband bridges used to connect buildings and towers in business and 4G telecom carrier networks, announced that the company's CEO and founder was recently honored by EE Times, which placed Dr. Heinz Willebrand on its list of "Forty Innovators Building the Foundation of the Next-Gen Electronics Industry." This prestigious list of technology leaders includes such individuals as Steven Wozniak, Apple co-founder, Paul Jacobs of Qualcomm, and Elon Musk, founder of SpaceX, SolarCity and Tesla Motors.
"Heinz Willebrand epitomizes the innovative spirit of America's top inventors and it is a pleasure to work with him as he guides LightPointe Communications to new heights in the wireless communications industry," said Carl Berg, the lead investor in LightPointe whose previous investments have also included companies such as Amdahl, Sun Microsystems and Integrated Device Technologies. "Since the company's founding in 1998, Dr. Willebrand has led LightPointe's research and development efforts, achieving over ten U.S. and international patents in the area of fiber-optics, Free Space Optics, and wireless technologies and has authored and co-authored authoritative research papers and books. I'm especially proud of Dr. Willebrand's leadership of LightPointe as CEO the past few years, including broadening the company's product portfolio, enhancing customer relationships, and achieving revenue growth even during economically challenging times such as the approximately 30% increase in sales revenues for 2012."
"It is an honor to be acknowledged by such an organization and respected trade journal as EE-Times," said Dr. Heinz Willebrand, CEO of LightPointe. "The acknowledgement and inclusion in the Forty Innovators list was completely unexpected and I am very humbled to be included alongside the other technology innovators on the list, and also fully realize that this acknowledgement would not have been possible without the contributions of my colleagues at LightPointe. I look forward to continuing LightPointe's mission to enhance the wireless communications industry with ever-faster transmission and capacity, which is essential to society's hunger for mobile devices and ultra-fast point-to-point backhaul infrastructure which support such devices and computer networks. Though the core technology and products often receive the headlines, what's truly important is that all these communication enhancements are bringing people around the world closer together, providing businesses with new opportunities, enhancing security and safety, and enabling new forms of entertainment and social networking."
For more information on LightPointe and its low latency 60 GHz radios, 80 GHz e-band radios and optical communications wireless bridges, contact LightPointe's San Diego headquarters.

Connected devices and the Internet of Things are getting significant momentum in 2014. In his session at Internet of @ThingsExpo, Jim Hunter, Chief Scientist & Technology Evangelist at Greenwave Systems, examined three key elements that together will drive mass adoption of the IoT before the end of 2015. The first element is the recent advent of robust open source protocols (like AllJoyn and WebRTC) that facilitate M2M communication. The second is broad availability of flexible, cost-effective storage designed to handle the massive surge in back-end data in a world where timely analytics is e...

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies. For instance, it's a mix of architectural styles ...

For example, if you have an existing service – possibly built on a variety of different PaaS/SaaS offerings – and you want to add real-time communications you are faced with a challenge relating to user management, authentication, authorization, and validation. Service providers will want to use their existing identities, but these will have credentials already that are (hopefully) i...

Scott Jenson leads a project called The Physical Web within the Chrome team at Google. Project members are working to take the scalability and openness of the web and use it to talk to the exponentially exploding range of smart devices. Nearly every company today working on the IoT comes up with the same basic solution: use my server and you'll be fine. But if we really believe there will be trillions of these devices, that just can't scale. We need a system that is open a scalable and by using the URL as a basic building block, we open this up and get the same resilience that the web enjoys.

The Internet of Things is tied together with a thin strand that is known as time. Coincidentally, at the core of nearly all data analytics is a timestamp.

The definition of IoT is not new, in fact it's been around for over a decade. What has changed is the public's awareness that the technology we use on a daily basis has caught up on the vision of an always on, always connected world. If you look into the details of what comprises the IoT, you'll see that it includes everything from cloud computing, Big Data analytics, "Things," Web communication, applications, network, storage, etc. It is essentially including everything connected online from hardware to software, or as we like to say, it's an Internet of many different things.

Future of Nursing Initiative
MONDAY, Oct. 5 (HealthDay News) -- In patients with type 2 diabetes, t'ai chi may serve as an alternative exercise program to improve glucose control, self-care activities, and quality of life, according to a Korean study published in the June 14 issue of the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine.
Rhayun Song, Ph.D., a registered nurse at the Chungnam National University in Daegon, South Korea, and colleagues evaluated 99 type 2 diabetic patients that had an HbA1c level of 6.0 or higher. The t'ai chi intervention included 19 movements provided twice per week for six months. Sixty-two patients completed the pretest and post-test measures at three and six months. Patients needed to complete 80 percent of the t'ai chi sessions to achieve desired outcomes. The 31 patients who met this criteria (adherent group) were compared to those who did not (non-adherent group).
The results showed that the adherent group had a greater decrease in fasting glucose and HbA1c than the non-adherent group. They also found that the adherent group performed more diabetic self-care activities and had a higher quality of life in measures of social functioning and vitality.
"The clinical implications of the changes in HbA1c found in the present study and others suggest that t'ai chi may reduce the complications and mortality associated with diabetes," the authors conclude. "However, longitudinal studies over several years are required to determine the effects of t'ai chi on these clinically important outcomes."

Nicer bras for masectomy survivors. Healthier ingredients in soft drinks. Halting gender stereotypes in toys.
All are among the causes and quests that have gained momentum — and in many cases, acquired success — through Change.org, which has quickly become a major force to be reckoned with among brands. While activist organizations such as Greenpeace lobby companies and others around a particular set of issues, Change.org is an open platform to agitate for action.
PepsiCo, for instance, recently announced the removal of brominated vegetable oil, which is used as a flame retardant, from its Gatorade drink after 16-year old Sarah Kavanagh's Change.org petition garnered more than 200,000 digital signatures. (The company is continuing to use it in Mountain Dew.)
"When I went to Change.org to start my petition, I thought it might get a lot of support because no one wants to gulp down flame retardant, especially from a drink they associate with being healthy," Kavanagh said on The Dr. Oz Show. "With Gatorade being as big as they are, sometimes it was hard to know if we'd ever win."Continue reading...

Limited Brands, owner of Victoria's Secret and La Senza, has committed to eliminate hazardous chemicals from its global supply chain in response to Greenpeace's Detox campaign. An investigation in 2012 by the environmental advocacy organization revealed a hormone-disrupting phthalate in underwear sold in Victoria's Secret stores in the United States.
Phthalates and perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs) are man-made chemicals that contain non-stick and water-repellent properties. The chemicals can affect the liver, disrupt hormones and alter growth.
"With Limited Brands being the 14th company to Detox since Greenpeace launched its campaign, the fashion industry is finally waking up to its responsibilities in the cycle of toxic water pollution," John Deans, Greenpeace USA Toxics Campaigner, told brandchannel. "Now it's time for brands like Calvin Klein, G Star Raw and The Gap to take their place alongside these Detox leaders."Continue reading...

"Plastics" may have been the career advice for The Graduate, but since the Sixties the mantra might be, "Plastic? Oh no! Banned" because the ever-expanding number of companies using them in products have come under fire for their impact on the environment.
The latest form of plastic to come under attack isn't about packaging, but the use of tiny pieces of plastic within products: the microbead, the tiny pellet found in personal care items produced by consumer packaged goods companies.
One CPG giant, Unilever, has now capitulated to environmental activists and agreed to stop using microbeads in its personal-care items, such as facial scrubs and toothpaste, following a social media protest involving Europe's Plastic Soup Foundation and its supporters.Continue reading...

Greenpeace has added Uniqlo to its list of global fashion brands and retailers signing its Detox pledge, making "a public commitment to eliminate all releases of hazardous chemicals throughout its entire global supply chain and products by 2020."
The commitment covers all Fast Retailing-owned brands — Uniqlo, Comptoir des Cotonniers, Princesse TamTam, GU and Theory — which together operate more than 2,000 stores. "Uniqlo recognises clean water as a critical global issue, and is proud to join Greenpeace in its campaign to eliminate hazardous chemical use," stated Yukihiro Nitta, Fast Retailing's executive in charge of social responsibility. The company also vowed to disclose discharge data from at least 80% of its global suppliers (including all their facilities) by the end of this year.
As the environmental group blogged, the Uniqlo deal "comes just a month after Zara, Mango, Esprit and Levi's announced similar individual commitments, responding to waves of pressure from activists and consumers around the world. Competitors in the fashion world including GAP, G-Star Raw and Calvin Klein are looking increasingly out of touch now that 12 of the world's top high street fashion brands have committed to Detox." Other Detox signatories include Adidas, C&A, H&M, Nike, Puma and M&S.

Public apologies by high-profile experts are rare, making this week's anti-GMO reversal — call it a GMea Culpa — by British environmentalist, author and Oxford University visiting research associate Mark Lynas particularly stunning.
Lynas spurred the anti-GMO movement in the mid-'90s, continuing to argue as recently as 2008 that corporate greed was threatening Mother Earth and her inhabitants; but at this week's Oxford Farming Conference, he recanted his position in a very public way.
"I want to start with some apologies," he stated. "For the record, here and upfront, I apologise for having spent several years ripping up GM crops. I am also sorry that I helped to start the anti-GM movement back in the mid 1990s, and that I thereby assisted in demonising an important technological option which can be used to benefit the environment."
"As an environmentalist, and someone who believes that everyone in this world has a right to a healthy and nutritious diet of their choosing, I could not have chosen a more counter-productive path. I now regret it completely. So I guess you'll be wondering—what happened between 1995 and now that made me not only change my mind but come here and admit it?"Continue reading...

what girls want
Posted by Mark J. Miller on December 18, 2012 10:30 AM
What do girls want? For one big sister this holiday season, the right for her brother to have the same toys in a non-stereotypical design. Almost 45,000 signatures and a slew of international headlines later, McKenna Pope, the 13-year-old who started the online petition at Change.org to convince Hasbro to consider boys in their marketing and design scope for the Easy-Bake Oven, has scored a big win for gender equality.
McKenna and her family met with execs at Hasbro on Monday and came out all smiles. Execs at the Pawtucket, R.I., HQ of the toy manufacturer, as AP reports, were deighted to show her design prototypes for Easy-Bake ovens colored black, silver, or blue — ready for her brother and other boys eager to get Easy-Baking.
Pope's quest had started when she wanted to get her four-year-old brother, Gavyn Boscio, an Easy-Bake Oven for Christmas. After all, he had shown a love for food prep by attempting to "cook on top of a lamp's light bulb" at their New Jersey home. Pope only found ovens in pink or purple and the boxes only featured girls in its marketing images.
So Pope went out and scored more than 40,000 signatures on a Change.org petition, the support of a slew of male celebrity chefs such as Bobby Flay, and a meeting with Hasbro, which now says it is going to unveil the new oven at the annual Toy Fair in New York this coming February. Consumers who are looking to purchase Easy-Bake ovens that aren't pink and purple will be able to snag them next summer. Plus, the new ovens will come with a boy or two pictured on the box as well.Continue reading...

Following in the wake of Zara's capitulation, Levi's is now the 11th brand to bow to pressure from Greenpeace's global Detox campaign. The denim giant has committed to eliminate releases of all hazardous chemicals throughout its supply chains and products. Still being pressured: Calvin Klein, Gap, and Victoria's Secret as part of the green campaigner's goal "to expose brands until the use - and abuse - of hazardous substances is totally eliminated."
The world's largest denim brand, has agreed to eliminate all releases of hazardous chemicals throughout its entire supply chain and products by 2020. The commitment comes eight days after Greenpeace launched its "Toxic Threads: Under Wraps" report targeting global fashion brands releasing toxins in Mexico's rivers, resulting in a digital groundswell with more than 210,000 people calling on Levi's to Detox, tens of thousands taking action on Facebook and Twitter, and over 700 people protesting outside Levi's shop fronts in over 80 cities worldwide.
As part of its Zero Discharge Commitment, Levi's (as outlined in a blog post) will start requiring 15 of its largest suppliers in China, Mexico and elsewhere in the Global South to disclose pollution data as early as June 2013, followed by compliance from 25 additional major suppliers by the end of 2013.Continue reading...

Having taken Zara to task as part of its Detox/Toxic Threads campaign, Greenpeace is now turning the spotlight on the Levi's brand.
This week, the eco-activists rolled out a multimedia campaign that included bringing 16 living mannequins to stage a protest outside the brand's flagship store in San Francisco. Their demand: that the world's largest maker of jeans (with sales of $4.8 billion in 2011) eliminate hazardous chemicals from their supply chain. The tactics: turning the denim giant's global Go Forth "marketing platform"— which was inspired by Walt Whitman's "O Pioneers" poem — against the brand.
Campaigners are using the language of "Go Forth" against the brand. Greenpeace is mimicking its graphic style and hashtag (#goforth) with its own #detox tag for a "#GoForth and #Detox!" message. The platform's "This is our time" tagline has turned into "Now is Your Time," in addition to co-opting other Levi's brand attributes (see the Pinterest/Facebook-ready "501 reasons to detox" infographic, below) to encourage the company to live up to its high-minded, noble mesaging.
Levi's is listening.Continue reading...

Posted: 02/27/2008 - Former Rockies short stop will not be re-joining Colorado
Posted: 02/26/2008 - First, Peter Forsberg. Now, Adam Foote. For the second time in two days, the Colorado Avalanche have brought back a player from their glory days. The Avalanche announced today they acquired Foote from the Columbus Blue Jackets in exchange for a conditional first-round draft choice in 2008 or 2009 and a conditional fourth-round choice in 2009. Yesterday, Colorado agreed to terms on a deal that brings Forsberg back to Denver for the rest of the current season.
Posted: 02/26/2008 - The Colorado Avalanche have acquired defenseman Ruslan Salei from the Florida Panthers. In return, the Avs give up the rights to Karlis Skrastins and give Florida a third-round pick in this year's draft. The deal was announced Tuesday, a day after Colorado agreed to terms on a deal that brings former MVP Peter Forsberg back to Denver for the rest of the current season.
Posted: 02/26/2008 - Neifi Perez agreed today to return to the Colorado Rockies on a minor league contract -- a goodwill gesture for one of the more popular players in club history. Perez could earn 1 million dollars if he makes the 40-man roster and earns significant playing time, but the odds of that are slim because the organization is loaded with young, talented infielders. The Rockies already have two candidates in Clint Barmes and Omar Quintanilla to replace Jamey Carroll as their utility infielder.
Posted: 02/25/2008 - Left-hander Jeff Francis will be the Opening Day starter when the Colorado Rockies begin defending their National League pennant at St. Louis on March 31st. Manager Clint Hurdle broke from tradition Monday and made the announcement much earlier than usual. Hurdle says Francis earned the opportunity by going 17-9 with a 4.22 ERA last year.
Posted: 02/25/2008 - The Colorado Avalanche and Peter Forsberg have agreed on a contract through the end of this season. The 34-year-old has been struggling with a foot and ankle injury. Forsberg played nine seasons with Avalanche and helped the team win two Stanley Cups. He won the Hart Trophy and appeared in seven All Star games.
Posted: 02/24/2008 - The 25-year-old rookie who helped fuel the Colorado Rockies' remarkable run to the World Series with his clutch bat off the bench is among four outfielders competing for two backup jobs with the NL champions.
Posted: 02/24/2008 - Andrew Cogliano's third-period goal helped the Edmonton Oilers end a three-game losing streak and ruin the return of Joe Sakic to the Colorado lineup by beating the Avalanche 3-2 Sunday night.
Updated: 02/24/2008 - Widefield and Pueblo South Boys earn #1 seeds. Pueblo East girls awarded a top seed too.
Updated: 02/24/2008 - Ten Southern Colorado wrestlers win state titles. Click on this story to see the entire list.
Posted: 02/23/2008 - Anwar Johnson and Andrew Henke scored 14 points each as Air Force dealt Colorado State its 13th consecutive loss with a 61-59 victory in Fort Collins.

Posted: 02/23/2008 - Ben Gordon scored 37 points, and the revamped Chicago Bulls delivered one of their best offensive efforts in years in outscoring Denver 135-121. The Bulls scored at least 30 points in all four quarters for the first time since 1997. Their 135 points were a season high.
Posted: 02/23/2008 - Cody McLeod scored in the 12th round of a shootout to give the Colorado Avalanche a 3-2 victory over the Phoenix Coyotes. It was the longest shootout ever for both teams.
Posted: 02/21/2008 - Denver Nuggets forward Nene is scheduled to undergo a single chemotherapy treatment next week as part of his recovery from testicular cancer.
Posted: 02/18/2008 - Chris Osgood stopped 18 shots for his 47th career shutout and the Detroit Red Wings snapped a six-game losing skid by blanking the Colorado Avalanche 4-0. Henrik Zetterberg scored twice. Chris Chelios scored his first goal in four months. Valtteri Filppula had a power-play goal in the opening period for Detroit.
Updated: 02/23/2008 - Sled hockey is an alternative sport that uses the rules of hockey. Sled hockey began in the early 1960's in Stockholm Sweden. It moved to the United States in 1989 and Colorado joined those ranks in 1995. Sled Hockey has been a Paralympic sport since 1994, with Team USA earning the Gold medal in 2002 and the Bronze medal in 2006.
Posted: 02/18/2008 - Sitting in the silent Colorado clubhouse while the Boston Red Sox celebrated their World Series sweep at Coors Field last October isn't a pleasant memory for any of the Rockies. Yet, right-hander Aaron Cook looks back at that night with some mixed emotions, at least. He lost Game 4 despite allowing three runs over six stellar innings in a performance that showed he was healthy again after missing nearly three months with a strained side muscle.
Posted: 02/17/2008 - Carmelo Anthony scores 18 points, Allen Iverson chips in seven to represent the Denver Nuggets in the mid-season showcase. The Nuggets haven't had two All-Star starters since 1979.
Posted: 02/17/2008 - Patrick Lalime stopped 21 shots and defenseman James Wisniewski had two assists in the Chicago Blackhawks' 2-1 win over the Colorado Avalanche on Sunday
Posted: 02/17/2008 - The three-time All-Star lost his job as Colorado's closer last summer after blowing four straight saves and lost his arbitration hearing on the eve of spring training.

Friend, we need to talk about that gut of yours. We know you're not proud of it. You may crack jokes about how you're aiming for a gold medal in the splash-diving competition in 2008. But other than the impressive column of water you spew with each cannonball, you know that belly fat isn't doing you any good. You don't like looking at it in the mirror, women are turned off by it, children ask if you have a baby in there.
You have more trouble sleeping than you used to, your lower back hurts, and exercise makes your knees ache.
But the problem is actually worse than that. Much worse.
You see, your belly fat is different from fat elsewhere in your body. It's metabolically active tissue that actually functions like a separate organ, releasing substances into the rest of your body that, in excess, can increase your risk of disease.
Yeah, you got it: Your own belly could be poisoning you.
Gut-Check Time
The notion that abdominal obesity is the most dangerous kind isn't new. Back in the 1940s, the French physician Jean Vague observed that some obese patients had normal blood chemistry, while some moderately overweight patients showed serious abnormalities that predisposed them to heart disease or diabetes. Almost always, the latter patients carried their fat around their middles. And, almost always, they were men.
Multiple studies since then have shown that belly fat -- the cause of the classic apple-shaped body -- is more than nature's way of telling you that you'll never become a soap-opera star, news anchor, rock legend, or Men's Health cover model. It's a sign that your body chemistry is seriously out of whack. There are a number of substances your bloated belly secretes to your heart, liver, and other vital organs. Among them:
• Free fatty acids. Released directly to the liver, they impair your ability to break down insulin, which over time can lead to diabetes.
• Cortisone. High levels of this hormone are associated with diabetes and heart disease.
• PAI-1. This blood-clotting agent increases your risk of heart attacks and strokes.
• CRP. This protein inflames blood vessels, making them more susceptible to artery-clogging plaque.
The upshot of all these chemicals floating around is big trouble for big-bellied guys. In a study at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, researchers took 137 men of all ages and sizes and used seven different measurements to determine their risks of cardiovascular disease. The single best sign of multiple heart-disease risks? No, it wasn't the guys' family histories or their cholesterol profiles. It was the amount of abdominal fat they carried.
By the way, heart disease and diabetes are only two of the ways belly fat can ruin your health. If you count them all up, you'll find at least 39 different diseases associated with abdominal obesity (40, if you include looking lousy with your shirt off).

David Versis - The Coldest
Artist: David Versis
Producer: David Versis
Album: P.S.A.L.M.S.
Avg Rating: 3.5 ( 11 votes )
If you find yourself shivering after listening to DJBooth newcomer David Versis' The Coldest, it likely isn't because your untrusty heater is on the fritz. If it wasn't evident in the title of the record, let me assure you that the Toronto-based rhymesayer's latest offering is quite the cold cut and we're not talking deli sandwiches. The emcee sets the frigid tone of the record in the song's introductory hook where he boasts, "Cold-blooded with cold hearts, but we can't help it all we do is go hard yeah/ Yeah we some cold motherf**kers, yeah we some cold motherf**kers." Heavy on the guitar, the production on the record, which is also provided by Versis, is no-nonsense and gives the The Coldest a slightly ominous vibe. If you can take the chill, you can find The Coldest on both YouTube and the Canadian emcee's P.S.A.L.M.S. project, which was released back in July.

Punters to spend $2.1 trillion on e-tat this year
World+Dog will spend $2.1 trillion (£1.3 trillion) on digital information and entertainment products and services this year, and the crazy part is most of that money will be spent on connectivity. According to market watcher Gartner, 2011 is shaping up like 2010, a year in which $2 trillion was spent by consumers on connectivity …
"it's not what goes into the pipe that makes the most money, it's controlling the plumbing."
That explains why what comes out of the pipe is indistinguishable from Sewage, then?
Is there any historical data for comparison purposes?
Do Gartner have any inflation-adjusted numbers to compare spending to eg 15 years ago, when the equivalent services were something like magazine subscriptions and video/game rental clubs?
I'd be intrigued to see how it compares. At a guess the total expenditure per head would be much lower due if nothing else to information bottlenecks and the pain in the ass factor involved with going to the rental shop and having to deal with physical media.
not to worry, hand wringers
soon the cost of access and data will be raised to take care of this gross oversight. Soon it will cost more to access data than they spent on hardware.
Happy now? be careful what ya wish for.
or as the troll, "Problem?"
raising raw sewage prices
definitely, raw sewage has a higher value - at least you can make bio gas from it...

Count DxMermaid!Reader: Personal PetSnarling you struggled against the net that was holding you on shore. It made you made, furious. Humans were so selfish and greedy. Destructive to everything around them. Letting out shrieks you thrashed wildly.
"Ah, now what do we have here?"
You looked up at the man. He was beautiful, wearing an almost feminine looking…kimono? Is that what it was?
"Who are you?" you hissed. "Let me free."
Raising an eyebrow he said, "So you speak?"
"Of course I speak," you snapped.
"I am Count D. How would you like to come to my pet shop?"
The thought was appalling to your human side. Become someone's pet? Once again you appraised the man in front of you, you smiled an almost crocodile like smile. "Alright…but only if I'm your pet."
He seemed surprised, but it didn't show on a facial level. "Very well." He released you from the net and carried you to your new home.
