HURST — Arlington Lamar, despite scoring just one point in the first quarter against Keller, stormed away with a 47-32 Class 5A bi-district win at L.D. Bell High School on Monday night.And the Vikings did it with defensive pressure from every direction that often prevented the Indians from being able to sustain their half-court offense.Lamar (19-8) forced 22 Keller turnovers and committed just 13. Lamar entered the matchup as the third-place finisher in District 3-5A. Keller was the runner up in 4-5A."That's what has carried us this far," Lamar coach Erinn Levels said. "Pressure defense and getting in every passing lane. And that's what we have to do more of as we advance."Guards Dierra Ely and Dezirae Hampton led the way for the Vikings with 11 points apiece. Ely, a senior, recorded six steals, and Hampton, a junior, added four steals. Jada Washington contributed five steals as well off the bench.But Keller (21-8) was able to hold Lamar early, taking a 7-1 lead after the first quarter, which featured strong performances from both defensive units. The Vikings took their first lead on Symone Willis' 3-pointer with 1:35 left before halftime, which made the score 13-12. Megan Vincent hit a baseline jumper with 4:45 left in the third quarter to keep the Indians within two, down 21-19, but Lamar finished the third on a 12-2 run that was capped by Ely's 3-pointer with five seconds left and put Keller behind 33-21 entering the fourth quarter. Alli Gribbin led Keller with 11 points in the loss, and Lexi Burns added 10. Kennedy Kress hit three 3-pointers in the final two minutes to keep things close, but the Vikings hit 14 of 20 free-throw attempts in the fourth quarter to keep Keller at bay.

Chattanooga advertising executive Danny Fell was tapped Monday as president of Neathawk, Dubuque & Packett, a Richmond, Va.-based ad agency with offices in a half dozen Southern cities and annual billings of more than $35 million.
Fell, a 47-year-old Virginia native, will maintain his home in Chattanooga, where he started Daniel+Douglas+Norcross (ddN) in 1992 and merged the agency with the larger Richmond agency five years ago.
"I will continue to work externally to be part of the public face of the firm and to help develop new business and to speak to industry groups and business meetings," Fell said Monday. "We're making investments to grow our digital marketing, and I'll be looking at acquisition opportunities in the region."
ND&P is based in Richmond but maintains a full-service 15-employee office in Chattanooga, including the former 3HD digital marketing firm acquired locally in 2008. ND&P also has branches in Charlotte and Durham, N.C.; Roanoke, Va.; and Tampa, Fla.
Fell is a 23-year veteran who has specialized in health care marketing after beginning his career as an emergency medical technician and moving to Chattanooga after graduating from Virginia Tech. He said he spends about 150 days a year on the road and will now spend at least one day a month at the firm's headquarters in Richmond.
Fell succeeds Susan Dubuque, who will remain as a principal in the 50-employee firm she helped establish.
"As one of the country's leading health care marketers and a pioneer in interactive marketing and new media, (Danny's) leadership is essential as we accelerate the growth of the agency," Dubuque said in a statement Monday.

Written by David Rawcliffe | Thursday, February 18th, 2010
Government support for the arts is currently provided as a subsidy to producers. This system suffers from four major problems: it relies on an expensive bureaucracy; it distributes subsidies unequally between regions and income groups; it distorts producers' incentives through corruption, politicisation and arbitrary criteria; and it reduces competition, innovation and efficiency. This paper proposes a new system for arts funding: consumer-side subsidies delivered as vouchers to all citizens, which would alleviate the four problems outlined above, and better fulfil the central objectives of art funding.

News from the Department of Accounting at The University of Texas at Austin
By Judson Caskey
My current research examines accounting information in the context of the broader economy. Many ideas about the effects of accounting information rely on intuition that applies to individual companies. This approach has some merit, but can be misleading when applied to companies in a large, developed economy like the United States. Also, some questions cannot be examined at all without considering the overall economy.
For an example of a failure of intuition developed in the context of a single company, conventional wisdom suggests that high quality accounting can lower the cost of capital. The rationale behind this idea is that typical investors can rely on price protection when facing the prospect of trading against a privately informed speculator, which lowers the prices they pay for stocks and raises the cost of capital. Privately informed speculators exacerbate this effect by deliberately structuring their trades to limit the amount of information revealed in prices and further increasing the uncertainty faced by typical investors. High accounting quality can reduce the cost of capital by both mitigating the uncertainty faced by typical investors and leveling the playing field between them and speculators.
One of my recent coauthored studies shows that this conventional wisdom does not hold in a large economy where investors hold diversified portfolios. Poor accounting quality may cause investors to overvalue some companies, and undervalue others, but, on average, investors can rely on diversification to protect their portfolios from any effects of poor quality accounting. Because poor quality accounting does not impact diversified investors' payoffs, it does not affect the cost of capital. This does not imply that accounting does not 'matter' in a large economy; rather, it suggests that accounting matters for reasons other than cost of capital, such as the allocation of capital or monitoring managers.
I recently coauthored a study on how trade linkages between companies affect the propagation of shocks to company performance, a question that can only be examined in the context of the overall economy. We identify some industries as hubs in the sense that they serve as conduits for a large amount of trade in goods and services. We provide empirical evidence that these industries play a special role in propagating macroeconomic shocks. For example, because hub industries interact with large portions of the overall economy, shocks to their earnings tend to have ripple effects on the broader economy.

Security Note
Security Fix: The linked OpenSSL library for MySQL Enterprise Backup 3.10 has been updated from version 1.0.1g to version 1.0.1h. Versions of OpenSSL prior to and including 1.0.1g are reported to be vulnerable to CVE-2014-0224. (CVE-2014-0224)
Functionality Added or Changed
MySQL Enterprise Backup now supports creation and restoration of single-file backups using a cloud storage. See Section 5.1.15, "Cloud Storage Options" for details.
Bugs Fixed
After a table backed up using the transportable tablespace
option (
--use-tts) was restored to a
server, queries on the table did not make use of its indexes.
That was because the cardinalities of the indexes were not
properly updated after the table's restoration. This fix adds an
ANALYZE TABLE step towards the
end of the restoration process for tables backed up with the
--use-tts option, in order to update
the indexes' cardinalities.
(Bug #18682317)
When cloning a slave for a GTID-enabled server using MySQL Enterprise Backup, the
backup_gtid_executed.sql script created
and stored in the backup directory was not copied onto the slave
by the
operation. This fix has the script copied into the data
directory of the slave.
(Bug #18674861)
The maximum number of memory buffers that could be created for a
mysqlbackup operation was hard-coded to be
100, making it impossible to set the number of buffers to a
larger value using the
number-of-buffers option. This fix
removes the hard-coded maximum number for buffers.
(Bug #18560870)
mysqlbackup threw an error if a table was dropped when the backup process was running. With this fix, the dropped table is ignored (as it does not need to be restored) and mysqlbackup finishes without throwing an error. (Bug #18358912, Bug #71865)
A segmentation fault occurred when a backup image created from a
backup directory was restored using the
copy-back-and-apply-log subcommand.
It was because
copy-back-and-apply-log was not able
to extract
backup-my.cnf from the image and
get the value for
(Bug #18242586)
After an
apply-log operation was
performed on a compressed backup (with the
--uncompress and
--apply-log options), when a
copy-back-and-apply-log was applied
on the backup, the restored data was inconsistent. That was
because the first operation did not delete the compressed,
.ibz backup file and did not mark the data
as uncompressed at the end of the operation. The subsequent
copy-back-and-apply-log operation
than acted on the still existing, raw, compressed file, but
thought that an
apply-log operation
had already been performed on it. This fix makes
mysqlbackup delete the compressed, raw backup
file once decompression and
apply-log are finished and properly
mark the backup as uncompressed and up-to-date.
(Bug #18005786, Bug #18005732)
After an incremental backup was applied to a full backup, a
second incremental would fail if the same incremental backup
directory was used and if the
option was pointing to the full backup's directory. This was
because MySQL Enterprise Backup checked the end LSN in the full backup directory
against the end LSN in the MySQL history table (which might not
have been updated yet) and failed the process when there was a
mismatch. This fix removes that check, so user in the described
situation can proceed with creating more incremental backups.
(Bug #16249018)

Police try to determine if remains are human
Updated On: Nov 14 2012 03:14:27 PM EST
Police in Jacksonville are trying to determine if some bones found at an apparent dumping ground for animal remains are human.
The discovery was made by a detective working a missing persons case after receiving a tip that led to a wooded area in the 12600 block of Braddock Road in Northwest Jacksonville.
The animal remains found are probably the carcasses of deer and wild hog kills that were cleaned by hunters, police said.
The Medical Examiner was called to the seen to determine if there were human remains.

Patrick Kavanagh, A Dublin Literary Trail gives an insight into the life and work of one of Ireland's finest poets. Patrick Kavanagh, probably more than any other poet who lived and worked in Dublin, is particularly associated with one area of Dublin. The Baggot Street / Pembroke Road area was the locality in which Patrick Kavanagh lived and worked for much of his life. This area became the source and inspiration of much of his most famous work. While there have been inevitable changes in the area over the decades since his death in 1967, the buildings and streetscape have remained much as they were in his time. Members of the public can walk the trail from the Grand Canal to Raglan Road experiencing his poetry and gaining further insights into his life and presence in the area. The area is only ten minutes walk from St Stephen's Green.

So, I binge. I binge a lot. I binge-watch whole series of TV shows to make it bearable to do the dishes, clean, and cook; I binge-listened to This American Life and Snap Judgment to make my last two jobs — editing product photos and chopping fruit — more bearable. I binged my way through Jenna Marbles' videos in my free time a few years ago. In the last year-and-some, I've binged through "Adventure Time," "Archer," "Breaking Bad," "Orange is the New Black," the first two and a half seasons of "The X-Files," the first season of "Twin Peaks" (now I have to watch the rest of it), and the first two seasons of "American Horror Story." I binged on "Game of Thrones," then I proceeded to binge through the Song of Ice and Fire series, and now I have to wait until the goddamned spring to get more Westeros.
So imagine how happy I am when I find something new to binge on! I recommend all of the above (of course — if they had sucked, I wouldn't have watched entire series of them). I'm having to get craftier with my bingeing, resorting to new forms of media and some very old relics of my childhood. Here are the four series that I'm bingeing on now or will be bingeing on soon: Keep reading »

SOCHI, Russia – Members of the performance-art group Pussy Riot were attacked on a public plaza Wednesday by Cossacks brandishing whips and discharging pepper spray, a day after police picked them up and held them for nearly four hours without charges.
An Associated Press video showed the Cossacks advancing on the five women and one man with whips, knocking them down and striking them. The performers had just been shown gathering quickly at an outdoor plaza in Sochi, about 20 miles from the Olympic Park, taking off coats, putting on their ski masks and preparing to perform when the Cossacks attacked.
The Cossacks roughly pulled off the masks and flicked their whips at the group. When the group escaped they tweeted what had happened, providing details and photos. They had been preparing to make a video of a new protest song, "Putin Will Teach You How to Love Your Motherland," when the Cossacks appeared and set upon them.
Pussy Riot has a storied and controversial history in Russia. Two members, Nadezhda Tolokonnikova and Maria Alyokhina, were arrested after they took part in a protest in February 2012. Both women served nearly two years in prison before their December release.
Alyokhina tweeted a photo Wednesday of a young man who had joined the five women for the performance – usually they perform as a feminist collective. He had a bloodied face, an injury Alyokhina said was suffered in the attack. She posted another photo of a woman with red marks on her chest.
Tolokonnikova, who was knocked to the ground and hit with a whip, tweeted that her husband, Pyotr Verzilov, had been taken to the hospital, unable to see because of the pepper spray. The Cossacks, descended from czarist-era horsemen who patrolled the borders of the Russian empire, are remembered historically for leading pogroms against Jews. Today they are socially conservative and ardent supporters of the Russian Orthodox Church. They have been revived as a sort of volunteer citizen patrol, and about 800 of them have supplemented the police providing security for the Winter Games here. On patrol, they often wear military-style jackets and high lambskin hats.
Sochi authorities have been determined to limit even the hint of protest during the Olympic Games, which end Sunday.

Bike Fit Evaluation: Can It Help Diagnose And Prevent Cycling Injuries?
Toe clips consist of a cage and attachment straps controlling only the fore/aft position of the shoe on the pedal by using various sized cages. Clipless pedal systems involve mounting a cleat onto the bike shoe sole and then clicking the cleat of the shoe into the clipless pedal. Some pedal systems allow for rotation on the pedal and some fix the foot to the pedal in the desired position. The clipless pedal systems allow for fore/aft and side to side adjustments as well as some internal and external rotation.
Make all adjustments with the cyclist in his or her shoes with cleats loosely attached and shoes clipped into the pedals. Generally, the ball of the foot is centered over the pedal axle. Specifically, we recommend adjusting the cleat on the bike shoe so the bunion area, which is easy to identify, is directly over or up to 1 cm proximal to the pedal axle.
If the cyclist walks with a foot position that is in-toed or out-toed (for whatever reason), one can reproduce this position to some degree at the shoe/pedal interface. For an intoed cyclist, position the cleat on the shoe as far medial as possible and then internally rotate the shoe on the cleat, usually up to 10 degrees. For an out-toed cyclist, position the cleat as far lateral on the shoe as possible and rotate the shoe externally up to 10 degrees. Take care that the medial malleolus does not contact the crank arm in this position.
After establishing the desired position, firmly fix the cleat to the shoe. There are commercially available systems to assist with the shoe/pedal setup. The Fit Kit® (New England Cycling Academy) has a rotational adjustment device (RAD) that is useful in determining proper transverse plane positioning on the shoe. One can make additional adjustments to the shoe/cleat/pedal interface that include medial and lateral canting of the forefoot and buildups for limb length discrepancy. One can accomplish these adjustments within the shoe, sometimes between the shoe and cleat and rarely on the pedal itself. Address excessively everted or valgus heel positions with medial (varus) cants or wedges. Address excessively inverted or varus heel positions with lateral (valgus) cants or wedges.
One can add buildups for limb length discrepancies within the shoe up to 1/4-inch to 3/8-inch. Larger discrepancies will require a pedal or shoe sole buildup. It must be noted that accommodating limb length discrepancy for cyclists is a challenging topic and strategies to address the discrepancy depend on the level of discrepancy (e.g., femur (proximal) vs. tibia (distal)). Distal discrepancies usually require in-shoe, shoe sole or pedal buildups for the short side whereas proximal discrepancies may require asymmetric crank arm lengths in addition to shoe or pedal buildups. We have found limb length studies (sequential X-rays of hips, knees and ankles with a grid) to be helpful in determining the exact amount and level of discrepancy before deciding if and how to accommodate it.
What About The Handlebars?
Handlebar height and handlebar reach. These are subject to comfort and personal preference. Most cyclists place the handlebar height 2 to 4 cm below the saddle height. Recreational cyclists prefer a higher handlebar height whereas racing enthusiasts will tend to lower their bars for a more aerodynamic position. Evaluate handlebar height in relation to seat height by placing a yardstick on the seat and extend it over the handlebars. One can then easily measure the difference in height.
Handlebar reach depends on top tube length and handlebar stem length. While riding with hands positioned on brake hoods, the cyclist should be able to gaze down at the front wheel and the handlebar should obscure the view of the wheel hub (center of wheel). Check all hand positions on the handlebars for comfort with elbows maintained in a slightly flexed position. If the rider constantly has to scoot forward or back on the seat, then check the handlebar reach.
In Summary
What this article provides is a practical though efficient bicycle fit evaluation protocol that should complement conventional clinical evaluation of the cyclist. Establishing a specific diagnosis and identifying etiologic factors will dictate appropriate treatment.

Bulgaria sets up units to fight crime, corruption.SOFIA Sofia (sōfē`ə, sō`fēə), Bulg. Sofiya, city (1993 pop. 1,114,476), capital of Bulgaria, W central Bulgaria, on a high plain surrounded by the Balkan Mts. Bulgaria, acting on EU recommendations, is setting up joint teams to fight organised crime and corruption, its interior ministry, prosecution service and national security agency said on Monday. "Setting up the special investigation teams is a commitment by the Bulgarian government, taken in response to the critical remarks in the European Commission's latest monitoring report," Interior Minister Tsvetan Tsvetanov said after signing an agreement to create the specialised units. In a report in July, the European Union praised Bulgaria for creating a special joint unit to combat the misuse of EU development funds, and recommended that similar teams be created to target organised crime. The new units will be fully operational by October 1, Tsvetanov said. "We will investigate every official suspected of committing a crime, regardless of whether he is a member of the previous government or this one," he added. Chief Prosecutor prosecutor
Government attorney who presents the state's case against the defendant in a criminal prosecution. In some countries (France, Japan), public prosecution is carried out by a single office. In the U.S., states and counties have their own prosecutors. Boris Velchev said: "The teams will concentrate on a limited number of important cases and we will put our best people there."

The Driftless Area in Mississippi Valley: The Driftless Area around Ferryville in Wisconsin is famous the world over because it is completely surrounded by unglaciated territory. It preserves a large sample of what the rest of Wisconsin, as well as northern and eastern United States, were like before the Glacial Period.
Birding and Mississippi Rivier Flyway: The Mississippi River Valley is one of North America's greatest environmental resources and is a major bird migration corridor. Due to the river's north-to-south orientation and diverse variety of ecosystems millions of migratory birds use this corridor each year during fall and spring migration. Pelicans, diving ducks, and swans use the river's large open-water pools. Geese, herons, egrets, resident and migrant songbirds use the shallow backwater wetlands. Bottomland forests support migrating and nesting populations of songbirds, bald eagles, ospreys, mallards, and wood ducks. Many more species use the region as their year-round home.

Latest News
Bruce Willis is back for fun on the run
Bob Thompson, Postmedia NewsPublished: Saturday, July 20, 2013
After 25 years in the movie business, Bruce Willis is rarely surprised by things. But that changed when he saw Red.
Adding to the pleasant yet unexpected series of events was the subsequent critical and financial success of the 2010 spy comedy.
Less astonishing is the fact that the 58-year-old's back promoting the sequel Red 2, now playing in Saskatoon.
In the action comedy, Willis's black-ops agent Frank Moses returns to active duty again (he was RED: Retired, Extremely Dangerous) with colleagues Marvin (John Malkovich) and Victoria (Helen Mirren) by his side.
Their mission is to track down an old weapon of mass destruction before it gets into the wrong hands.
Back for some fun on the run is Frank's girlfriend Sarah (Mary-Louise Parker), who decides to get involved in the secret agent world. Ivan (Brian Cox) shows up, too. He's a former Soviet spy, and as we discovered in the first picture, Victoria's secret lover.
New is Catherine Zeta-Jones, who portrays a cunning Russian agent and one of Frank's ex-flames. Anthony Hopkins portrays the unstable scientist inventor of the doomsday bomb, while Korean actor Byung Hun Lee plays a high-priced hitman assigned to eliminate Frank before he gets to the bomb.
In Red 2, the explosions are bigger and the laughs are broader, but Willis still leads the way.
"I was a little more confused filming the first Red because it felt like we were trying to do so many things at the same time," he said at a Manhattan hotel with some of his castmates. "There was comedy, action, and romance, but somehow it seemed to work out."
Early indications are that the second one has clicked, too. The addition of Oscar winners Zeta-Jones and Hopkins and Asian star Lee (he had co-starring roles in both G.I. Joe flicks) adds a new energy to the proceedings. The locations are more international, too, with confrontations taking place in London, Paris and Moscow (although a major portion of the film was shot in Montreal).
The romantic element of the story is emphasized a bit more this time around, as well - which was fine with Willis. "I get to kiss two women in this film," said the actor referring to separate sequences involving the Parker and Zeta-Jones characters. "There were times when they were trying to get me to kiss John Malkovich, but I had to draw the line."
Certainly, his Frank Moses performance is in contrast to the more serious-minded John McClane from the five Die Hard pictures, introduced with the 1988 original and still going strong thanks to last winter's A Good Day to Die Hard.
Mind you, Willis has played comic roles before but never with the disarming zeal he manages in Red 2. "I like to play this befuddled guy who doesn't quite know what's going
on and is kind of behind the information chain," he said. "I always love goofing around."
Occasionally, the silliness would overwhelm the cast and not even the fearless leader could settle things down. "You never know what's going to happen around Malkovich," said Willis.
"He made me laugh all the time, which is a very good thing on a movie like this. Sometimes, we would have to go again because we were breaking up so hard ...."

Dan Finnerty is living the dream. His old lady, Kathy Najimy, is a semi-famous Hollywood starlet; he fronts a band named after himself and jets across the globe like a rock star. Thing is, he's not a rock star. He does play one on TV, though -- er, rather, the silver screen. You might remember him and his motley band of hucksters from their stints in Old School or, more recently, Starsky and Hutch. Not since Jack Black evoked Marvin Gaye in High Fidelity has anyone exploited novelty shtick so deftly. In Finnerty's case, he's turned it into a cottage industry. But here's the best part: Unlike other fledgling rockers, Finnerty doesn't have to burn any brain cells writing tunes; all of the songs he performs have already been made famous (by women, no less). Sounding like Dan Hill after a seven-day bender, Finnerty's straight-faced take on Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart," Alanis Morissette's "You Oughta Know" and the quintessential femme anthem of all time, Helen Reddy's "I Am Woman," will murder you -- assuming you give a Dan.

Pete Carroll will never come to Valley Ranch, but he has a lesson for Jerry Jones, and many NFL owners.In 2004, Carroll had USC rolling, and it seemed that he would never return to the NFL. When I interviewed Carroll in LA late that year, however, he said the only way he would return to the NFL to be a head coach again was if he had power in player personnel."Very few guys get that. You have to win the Super Bowl to get that opportunity," Carroll told me that day. "Without it, I would never coach under those circumstances again."Carroll had coached the Jets for one year in 1994; three years later, he replaced Bill Parcells as the head coach of the Patriots because Carroll agreed not to have the final say with owner Bob Kraft over "who bought the groceries."Upon returning to the NFL in 2010 as the head coach of the Seahawks, Carroll was given a say in personnel decisions with GM John Schneider.Proof that Carroll has a voice: In March 2012, the Seahawks handed quarterback Matt Flynn a three-year contract, $10 million guaranteed. A few months later, the team selected Russell Wilson in the third round of the draft. Despite Flynn's massive contract, Carroll handed Wilson the starting job.Not sure if Jerry, or many owners, would have ever permitted such a move because of the financial investment in Flynn.But Carroll's personnel move has worked. The Seahawks are 24-8 with Wilson as the starting quarterback and will play the 49ers on Sunday in Seattle for a spot in Super Bowl XLVIII in two weeks. Carroll is also living proof that you do not have to be a bullying bore of a human being to win in the NFL.Carroll explained to me about the differences between coaching in college and the pros: "There is a difference between the level of seriousness here and the NFL. People are way out of whack in the NFL. It doesn't mean you are going to play better because you are more serious. It's the end result."It turns out a coach who enjoys his job — and has a major say on personnel — can win.Calderon > CollisonWatching the Dallas Mavericks gag away another huge lead against the Los Angeles Clippers last week was especially nauseating. That makes the second collapse to the Clippers this month. Check out the point guards involved.Chris Paul, the player the Mavs were hoping to sign when they gutted their title-winning team, was not on the floor for a lot of the first choke on Jan. 3, and none of the second one.Instead, former Mavs point guard Darren Collison rallied the Clippers in both games.On Wednesday, the Clippers came back from 17 points down in the final five minutes for a 129-127 win. Collison scored 13 points with 10 assists.On Jan. 3, the Mavs led the Clippers by seven points with less than four minutes remaining, and CP3 was already out with a shoulder injury suffered in the third quarter. Collison scored 20 points with four assists.Jose Calderon, the point guard the Mavs signed in the off-season to a four-year contract, was outplayed by Collison in both games.Mavs coach Rick Carlisle did not trust Collison, who is too erratic and never displayed the type of necessary point-guard skills. He's a good backup on a good team.Calderon has been what he has always been — steady, smart, dull. He is averaging 12.1 points, just 1.2 turnovers and his 4.8 assists per game is considerably lower than his career average.But with Calderon, the Mavs are "in the playoffs," which apparently now is the gold standard. With Collison, the Mavs missed out.Over the long haul, Calderon is the better point guard. But neither is particularly special.The favoriteThe last time Johny Hendricks fought he was the underdog in his title shot against UFC middleweight champion Georges St.-Pierre. Bigg Rigg, who lost a horrible five-round decision to GSP in November, is now the favorite.With GSP on sabbatical, Hendricks should win a belt that should already be his. Hendricks will fight Robbie Lawler on March 15 at American Airlines Center in Dallas for the welterweight title."I've always been the hunter," Hendricks said on Thursday at a promotional event for the title fight. "But I do enjoy being the prey."After holding off for several weeks, Hendricks finally watched his loss to GSP for the first time — just to see if he saw something that suggested he lost the fight, which he should not have.He told me he didn't.He is right.Expect him to beat Lawler.Just say no to BynumGeneral manager Donnie Nelson told our Dwain Price the Mavs have a "long, long, long shot" to sign free-agent center Andrew Bynum. For the Mavs' sake, let's hope those chances aren't quite that good.Bynum is a nightmare, who, in order to have any shot of succeeding, is going to require a locker room so strong it will not tolerate his boorish, often indifferent attitude.The Mavs need a rim-protecting center — Samuel Dalembert is Just a Guy — but Bynum would be another case of a dopey ex-Laker who doesn't want to be here. The only difference is that he is not married to a Kardashian ... yet.Bynum can't stay healthy, and he's a bad teammate. There is a reason the Lakers traded him to the 76ers. There is a reason the 76ers did not re-sign him after he sat out the 2012-13 season with a bad knee. There is a reason the Cavaliers traded him to the Bulls only a few months after signing him to a two-year deal. There is a reason the Bulls cut him immediately.He likes the money more than he likes the game.Not about black, whiteTexas Tech men's basketball coach Tubby Smith is old enough to remember when there were separate bathrooms for whites and blacks."I went to school with three blacks — that was in 1969," Smith told me last week.As much as we would like the hiring of Charlie Strong as the football coach at Texas not to be a big deal, it is. He and Texas A&M football coach Kevin Sumlin are the two highest-paid employees in the state of Texas."It's been long overdue, but those opportunities are there now," Smith said. "You have to prove yourself. It's not enough to just get there; what you have to do is continue to win, and you have to be productive."[Former Kentucky athletic director] C.M. Newton told me this: 'Fans see Ws and Ls. Administration sees green, and are you keeping the program clean.' "Lame jokeIn Thursday's edition of the Star-Telegram, I wrote a column that said when Derek Holland fell over his dog, it was just the beginning of The Nolan Ryan Curse. I wrote, "When the Rangers messed with Nolan, they tempted the baseball gods, a palindrome for dogs."This not only angered Ranger fans, but lovers of the English language.No, technically "gods" and "dogs" is not an exact palindrome. My thinking was god=dog, and the higher power was the pup who got in Holland's way, hence the same meaning.That it required this much explanation demonstrates just how lame the line is. I'm not a smart man, but I know what a palindrome is. Follow Mac Engel on The Big Mac Blog at star-telegram.com/sports.

Haven't you heard? Life's a happy song! Unless, of course, you were hoping to sing that happy song on stage at the Academy Awards. According to Deadline, the Oscars are not having performances from either of this year's Best Original Song nominees. That means no Bret McKenzie (or Jason Segel) doing a duet with Walter (or Jim Parsons) on their song from The Muppets, "Man or Muppet," or a bouncy number from legendary Brazilian musician Sérgio Mendes and the nominated song from Rio, "Real in Rio."

Ummm hell no! It's just a cult like following on boards like sherdog, with a bunch of losers starting threads about him even calling him goat etc…. There's not much going on in mma right now and few bright spots so when someone with a controversial attitude crops up and wins it generate interest. Hell things are so bad Dana is looking to bring back a female retired fighter that has not competed in 5 years to challenge for title immediately. If things were so great why bring back retired fighters?
McGregor is interesting, fills a void for the Chael fans I guess. Biggest star? No…. Not even close.

How to get auto restart after power outage?
I am hooked up to a UPS, but after that runs out and I am away, I sometimes need to remotely logon - in which case I need the computer on. If I need to change something in the BIOS, please give specifics of how to do this as I have looked in there and found nothing related to this.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Almost all the latest BIOSs have a setting for auto power on after power is restored.
In the BIOS in Advanced Power Management (APM) look for this option
Restore from AC power loss [always OFF| always ON| last state]
Set this to always ON, Save the BIOS settings and restart the system.
You can also see this link for further help.
Power Management Settings.
Please give us the name of your system's BIOS for further information.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Windows 7 SP1, Home Premium, 64-bit
I'm not sure it's what you need, but look at:
Control panel/system/advanced system settings/startup and recovery settings/
Do you have a checkmark next to "automatically restart" under system failure?
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Yes, I do have a check mark next to the automatically restart.
RRaod, I am not seeing the advanced power management in my BIOS.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Can you give the name of your BIOS manufacturer (Phoenix, American Megatrends etc.)?
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
All it says under system information in the start up menu is: System BIOS CAR_716.ROM v7.16. Any other way to get the manufacture name?
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Never heard this name! System Information is not the right place to get BIOS information.
All you have to do is enter the BIOS before the system loads windows. Most of the BIOSs open up with F1, F2, or F10 keys when the system has just started. Usually these key combinations are displayed on the black screen before the windows starts. Like "Press F2 to enter setup".
Once you enter the BIOS, the BIOS manufacturer's name will be on the top. The following links contain a list of BIOS manufacturers.
List of BIOS Manufacturers Part 1 with their websites.
List of BIOS Manufacturers Part 2 with their websites.
If you can find the name of the BIOS manufacturer, you can go to the respective manufacturer's website and download a BIOS manual. This will explain each setting and the implications of changing the values.
Try all the BIOS options carefully (without changing any values) till you find the Power options screen. Then make the necessary changes, save the settings and exit BIOS.
|My System Specs
|24 May 2012
Windows 8.1 Pro with Media Center 64 bit
Type system information into the start menu search box and then when you open that screen see what it says for BIOS Version/Date. Also look at System Manufacturer and System model for more info. You can also get some of that info by pressing the windows key and the pause/break key.
|My System Specs
|30 May 2012
Found it - American Megatrends. I was in the start-up menu (only was saying to press esc upon start up, but did have to press f10 - even thou nothing said that was an option). In setup utility and then under "advanced" was a "Power-on" menu and one of the choices was for after power loss. So looks like all set. Many thanks you guys.

You say you are hooked up to a UPS.
Does the UPS perform a controlled shutdown of your computer after the main power goes off or are you letting the UPS just shutdown as it's batteries get low?

MONDAY, Feb. 17, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Women suffering from hot flashes might get some relief through an injection of an anesthetic near a nerve bundle in the neck, a small new study finds.
This technique, called a stellate ganglion block, is a common treatment for pain and might be an alternative for women who can't take or are reluctant to take hormone replacement therapy, the researchers said.
"Women are looking for nonhormonal alternatives for hot flashes," said senior researcher Pauline Maki, an associate professor of psychiatry and psychology at the University of Illinois at Chicago.
Maki said some women who had a stellate ganglion block to relieve pain also reported a decrease in the frequency and intensity of their hot flashes, which is what led to this study.
"The findings from our study provide some compelling data that this procedure may offer women a novel, nonhormonal approach to controlling their hot flashes," she said.
The procedure isn't painless, and the most common side effect is pain at the injection site. "If a woman wants to try this procedure, she needs to go to a trained anesthesiologist," Maki said.
The study, which received support from the U.S. National Institutes of Health and Northwestern University, was published recently in the online edition of the journal Menopause.
Dr. Margery Gass, executive director of the North American Menopause Society, said, "stellate ganglion block is a very exciting area for research for treatment of moderate to severe hot flashes."
Gass said many women -- particularly those with breast cancer -- might find stellate ganglion block an acceptable alternative to hormone therapy or antidepressants such as Paxil, which have been approved to treat hot flashes.
More research is needed, however, to see how well stellate ganglion block stacks up against other treatments, she said.
"These initial reports beg for larger and longer studies," Gass said. "We want to know how long the treatment lasts, how often it would need to be repeated, whether this is the ideal dose and if hot flashes return. We don't know the answers to these questions."
Not everyone sees the benefit of the nerve-block procedure.
"It's great that it decreases the number of severe hot flashes, but patients still have hot flashes a lot of times per day," said Dr. Jennifer Wu, an obstetrician/gynecologist at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "That's still really disruptive."
"I am not sure that a majority of patients will want to try this therapy," she said.
For the study, Maki's group randomly assigned 40 women, aged 30 to 70, with moderate to severe hot flashes to receive either stellate ganglion block or a fake treatment with a plain saline solution.
On average, these women had 10 hot flashes a day, with two-thirds either moderate or severe. Moderate hot flashes were defined as those lasting up to 15 minutes with symptoms such as perspiration, clammy skin, dry mouth, tense muscles and rapid heartbeat.
Severe hot flashes were those lasting up to 20 minutes with symptoms such as "raging furnace" warmth, weakness, feeling faint, extreme perspiration and heart irregularities.
For six months, the women reported the frequency and severity of their hot flashes. In addition, for the first three months after treatment, the women wore a monitor that objectively measured hot flashes.
Although the total number of hot flashes was about the same in both groups, the number of moderate to severe hot flashes was significantly reduced among the women given the nerve block, the researchers found.
The number of moderate to severe hot flashes was cut by 52 percent among women who got the nerve block, compared with 4 percent for women who got the fake injection, the researchers said.
What's more, the intensity of the hot flashes was cut by 38 percent for the women who got the nerve block, compared with 8 percent for those given the placebo injection, the researchers said.
"We don't know why this works, but it opens up new avenues for exploring the generation of hot flashes," Maki said. Moreover, the findings might lead to new ways to treat hot flashes, she added.
The researchers said they would like to do a study among women with breast cancer -- for whom hormone therapy for hot flashes is not recommended -- to see if a stellate ganglion block could be an alternative treatment, Maki said.
"[Women with breast cancer] experience more hot flashes than other women, and, unfortunately, they can't take hormone therapy," she said. "That will be the group that will likely benefit most from this."
