Lichborne: Buttons more death knights should push {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2010 11:52PM I saw an interesting bug with raise ally yesterday. After a random dungeon, the healer was dead, no res seemed to be forthcoming after he asked "Rez?", so I hit my raise ally button for a joke. At the exact same moment, a res from the paladin tank landed - and the player ended up alive, but with the raise ally buff and a ghoul standing there too, unable to move either of himself until he clicked the buff off and despawned the ghoul.
Breakfast Topic: What's love got to do with it? {WoW}
Mar 2nd 2010 8:42AM I cannot uprank this comment enough. Jaina had a bit of trouble letting go of arthas - look at how she risks her life to see if he's truly beyond redemption in Halls of Reflection. Walking away from him in stratholme can't have been easy, but it was the right choice.
If she'd blindly followed the crazy prince Arthas, she'd probably have ended up as a Lich Queen, and from then on she'd have been a secondary plot point or end-of-wing boss at best.
WoW Moviewatch: Culling of Stratholme Role Play {WoW}
Feb 24th 2010 1:03PM I generally roleplay the screaming mal'ganis fangirl warlock, asking for autographs, saying I style my demonic horns just like his, collecting hoof scrapings for my scrapbook of places mal'ganis has been and so on.
Usually gets a laugh.
Patch 3.3.3 PTR raid-buff changes {WoW}
Feb 19th 2010 8:56PM This'll bring warlock's Demonic Pact to a much higher uptime. It's going from a 12 second buff applied / reapplied every time the warlock's pet crits to a 45 second buff with a 20 second internal cooldown. This'll mean you won't get such big peaks and troughs of spellpower from the buff, and more importantly gives double the time for it to be reapplied, essentially giving 100% uptime (minus a small amount of RNG being fickle).
Breakfast Topic: Most frustrating moment {WoW}
Feb 27th 2009 8:06AM A while back, my guild was getting tantalisingly close to the Immortal without trying - I came in just after Heigan, so I'd not have obtained the title anyway, but it was just then that people noticed "Nobody died on the dance, not even the couple of people who usually do".
We got all the way to Grobb without a death, when one of our druids decided to stand looking at the loot and died to a cloud. Game over.

As a youth, she was committed to reach every goal she set for herself. At fifteen she was determined to buy a car, her goal was to purchase a car by the time she held her drivers license at the age of sixteen. She did just that. She entered a work program in high school (work experience) which enabled her to go to school and hold a job. She went to school half the day and worked at a jewelry stand until closing hours. She managed to save enough money to buy herself a car by the age of sixteen, reaching her goal. Most of her teenage years involved sales. She sold jewelry, shoes, furniture, and even frozen foods.
After graduating high school, she decided to get into the medical field. She earned an associate degree in advance medical assistant, graduating in 2002. At the age of twenty she took on a job as an administrative assistant for a marketing company (T&G Direct). Damaris has given her life to Christ. Her passion for dogs led her to dog grooming. Almost two years into dog grooming she decided to take on the challenge of going back to school.
As a single mother of two, quite frankly it hasn't been easy. She juggled work (waitress), home, kids, school, and not to mention the zoo she has at home, dogs, parrots, iguana, fish and the list goes on. Her determination was the key. She now holds a real estate license. As a Real Estate Agent, she has assisted clients with finding rentals, listing rental property, listing property for sale, property management and the purchasing process of a home.
She's been able to juggle multiple priorities and meet tight deadlines without compromising quality. She approaches all challenges with the right mix of passion, creativity, integrity and intensity to get the deal done. Real estate is much more than simply assisting a client in buying or selling their home. The key element is building trust and developing life time relationships with her clients.

Acupuncture Physician, Steve Chasens has been living in Coral Gables for the past 40 years, since attending University of Miami as a freshman and staying on for advanced degrees. He has seen much of Miami change but yet Coral Gables has retained its original intent of development by preserving it's grand Mediterranean revival architecture style.

Overview of the Budget Process
Budget development starts in October when the Board of Education adopts a budget calendar. The Board also provides input to the administration on budget objectives and sets general parameters for the process.
The administration then prepares a budget with principals, department chairs and supervisors. Preliminary budgets are presented in March. The school board devotes time to budget development at its regular business meetings.
Administrators work to refine their numbers as more accurate cost estimates and enrollment figures are received during this period, and as Board members ask them to analyze the advantages and disadvantages of providing a service in a different way.
Throughout the winter and spring, school board members and administrators are also monitoring budget activity at the state level. School board members and administrators are in frequent contact with local legislators to inform them how various state funding proposals will affect East Greenbush schools.
The administration also looks at internal and external factors that are likely to have the greatest impact on the next year's budget. Such factors may include rising prices for fuel or health insurance.
In late March/early April (depending on state budget developments), the Board of Education votes on a proposed budget. A newsletter describing the budget is then printed and mailed to all district homes. A copy of the proposed budget broken down by line items is also available in late April at the main office of each school building, district office, public library and district website.
The public vote on the proposed budget is held by law on the third Tuesday in May, which this year will be May 19, 2015.

College Basketball Odds: North Carolina at Duke Spread, Preview & Public Picks |
Written by Anthony Rome |
Saturday, 08 March 2008 10:41 |
Quite The Matchup There's a reason North Carolina and Duke meet every year in the regular-season finale: the Atlantic Coast Conference championship always seems to be on the line. For the fifth time in series history, the ACC title - along with the top seed in next week's league tournament - goes to the winner when the No. 1 Tar Heels visit the sixth-ranked Blue Devils on Saturday night in the latest renewal of college basketball's fiercest rivalry. ``It's March. There's a month or so left in the season (and) I have to be the most excited that I've ever been,'' Duke freshman Kyle Singler said Friday. ``Each game is the biggest game to this date.'' The Tar Heels (28-2) and Blue Devils (26-3) bring identical 13-2 conference records into their final regular season game. The Tobacco Road rivals, separated by an 8-mile stretch of U.S. highway, have staged plenty of memorable matchups during the past 88 years, with ACC championships, high tournament seeds and bragging rights having been decided on one of the most unique landscapes in the sport. Oddsmakers from Bodog have made Duke –1.5 point spread favorites (View College Basketball odds) for today's game (Game Matchup). Current public betting information shows that 68% of bets for this game have been placed on North Carolina +1.5 (View College Basketball bet percentages). At least a share of the league title has been at stake in the finale 11 times, with four previous winner-take-all meetings. The most recent of those came in 1991, when Duke claimed the crown with an 83-77 victory and went on to win coach Mike Krzyzewski's first national championship by beating a Kansas team led by current North Carolina coach Roy Williams. For many reasons, this one has the potential to join those. That's why those rowdy Cameron Crazies have been camping out in the patch of grass known as Krzyzewskiville for months and perhaps why Super Bowl MVPs Peyton and Eli Manning were spotted at Cameron Indoor Stadium on Friday and are expected to attend. ``It kind of carries a different vibe to it because it is for an ACC championship,'' Singler said. Duke and North Carolina are meeting as top-10 teams for the second time this season; the Blue Devils won 89-78 last month in a No. 2-vs-No. 3 matchup, but the Tar Heels didn't have speedy point guard Ty Lawson in that one. Lawson, the catalyst of North Carolina's fast-paced offense, is looking to rediscover his rhythm after missing six games with a sprained left ankle. ``Ty Lawson at 80 percent is pretty doggone good, and Ty Lawson at 80 percent is extremely important to our team,'' Williams said. Lawson's ability to generate points in transition and work the ball inside to the 6-foot-9 Hansbrough could give the bigger Tar Heels an advantage over a Duke team that stakes its reputation on being able to create mismatches, drive the lane and kick it out for open looks from 3-point range. The Blue Devils sank 13 3s in last month's victory, and not even Hansbrough's 28-point, 18-rebound performance could save the Tar Heels when outside threats Danny Green and Wayne Ellington combined to hit just 4-of-24 shots. ``They can have two Tyler Hansbroughs out there, and if we fight, scrap and just do the little things all night long, and execute on the offensive end, we'll be fine,'' Singler said. Nobody at Duke has forgotten the last time the Tar Heels visited for Senior Day: In the final game at Cameron for J.J. Redick and Shelden Williams, then-freshman Hansbrough helped North Carolina shock the top-ranked Blue Devils. ``I felt really bad for him, because of how important he was. ... We couldn't give him that win on his night,'' said captain DeMarcus Nelson, the only scholarship senior on Duke's roster. ``That's something I've actually thought about.'' More importantly, the winner would seem to have an inside track to a No. 1 seed in the NCAA tournament and might even claim another potential perk - the privilege of staying inside the state's borders until the Final Four. Both the conference tournament and NCAA's East Regional are in Charlotte, with an NCAA subregional in Raleigh the weekend in between. ``Yeah, it's for a conference championship, and you can make a scenario where it's worth a whole lot more,'' Williams said. ``Push comes to shove guys, it's Duke versus North Carolina, and that's all it's got to be.'' by: Staff Writers - Email Us More NCAA College Basketball Coverage from theSpread.com - NCAA College Basketball teams |

The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) is a private, self-perpetuating society of
distinguished scholars in scientific and engineering research, dedicated to the furtherance of
science and technology and their use for the general welfare. Under the authority of its
congressional charter of 1863, the Academy has a working mandate that calls upon it to
advise the federal government on scientific and technical matters. The Academy carries out
this mandate primarily through the National Research Council, which it jointly administers
with the National Academy of Engineering and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Frank Press
is President of the NAS.
The National Academy of Engineering (NAE) was established in 1964, under the charter
of the NAS, as a parallel organization of distinguished engineers, autonomous in its
administration and in the selection of members, sharing with the NAS its responsibilities for
advising the federal government. Dr. Robert M. White is President of the NAE.
The Institute of Medicine (IOM) was chartered in 1970 by the National Academy of
Sciences to enlist distinguished members of appropriate professions in the examination of
policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. In this, the Institute acts under both the
Academy's 1863 congressional charter responsibility to be an adviser to the federal

The United States in cooperation with its allies has imposed controls
since 1949 on exports to the Soviet bloc of commercial goods and
information that would be of significant value to Warsaw Pact military
systems. Since the late 1970s, there has been significantly increased
concern in the United States about Soviet success in acquiring and
applying this commercial Western technology, a concern that was trans-
lated into a vigorous effort to improve the effectiveness of national
security export controls. The Department of Defense spearheaded this
initiative, which has resulted in substantial strengthening of controls on
dual use technology (i.e., items with both commercial and military
application), primarily under the authority of the Export Administration
Act of 1979, as amended. These stricter controls, however, have caused
broad concern about unintended effects that may dampen the vigor of
U.S. research and technology development and unnecessarily impede
trade in high-technology goods.
In 1982 a panel of the National Academy complex (now known as the
Corson panel after its chairman Dale Corson) examined the effect of
national security export controls on the communication of basic scientific
research. The results of that study led to an executive branch policy
intended to minimize restraints on the vital free flow of scientific results
and research findings. During the ensuing period, representatives of
industry and research institutions in the United States expressed misgiv-
ings about the effect of export controls on the U.S. international compet-
itive position, and this national controversy also required an objective

examination. As a result the leadership of the National Academy complex
decided in 1984 to organize a second panel to examine the effect of export
controls on commercial trade in high-technology goods and information
and on the vigor of U.S. high-technology industry.
The new panel recognized from the outset that Western military
security depends in part on the technology advantages of the West as
compared to the Soviet Union and that some restrictions on the flow of
technology of military importance are indeed necessary. Furthermore,
the panel was aware of the vital importance of maintaining the West's
technological advantage through continued technological progress. It also
took note of the fact that a 1976 study of the Defense Science Board
(known as the Bucy report) had provided much of the theoretical basis
from which to examine the current situation.
The panel found it appropriate to narrow and focus its efforts. Although
controls for foreign policy purposes, controls on transfer of nuclear
technology, and controls on arms transfer are all part of the total U.S.
export control policy, in accordance with our charge we have focused on
national security export controls (as specified by the Export Administra-
tion Act of 1979, as amended) imposed on dual use technology. More-
over, although certain countries other than the members of the Warsaw
Pact are affected by U.S. national security export controls, we have
focused primarily on issues relating to the Soviet Union and its Eastern
bloc allies due to their central importance to the problem. We also have
given particular attention to the role of friendly and neutral Free World
nations that are not members of CoCom (the Coordinating Committee on
Multilateral Export Controls), countries that may now or in the future be
sources of indigenous technology and potential channels of West-East
technology transfer.
The panel shares the concerns of many regarding the health of U.S.
high-technology industries and the effect on national security of declining
U.S. leadership in various sectors. We have, for example, taken note of
other recent studies that address the loss of manufacturing capability in
the semiconductor industry and the problems associated with defense
procurement. Our focus in this study and the overall effect of export
controls-does not minimize the importance of other measures needed to
retain and improve the vitality of high technology in the United States and
its contribution to U.S. military security.
Perhaps not surprisingly the panel found the central problem of this
study to be extraordinarily complex and initially difficult to grasp in its
totality. Moreover, we determined that reliable quantitative data regard-
ing the effectiveness of controls and the impact of controls on economic
development and trade continue to be very difficult to obtain. Never-
theless, at the conclusion of its efforts the panel was convinced that it had

PREFACE iX
reviewed and considered sufficient information to justify its findings and
recommendations. It was unanimous in the adoption of these views.
It is clear that, for this complex problem, there are valid competing
interests to be weighed in considering the course of action that will be
most effective in enhancing U.S. national security. The panel hopes that
this report serves to identify and explain these important issues and that
our findings and recommendations will be useful to those who bear the
responsibility for formulating and implementing wise policy.
The panel is grateful for the assistance provided by the liaison repre-
sentatives of the various federal agencies and by the hundreds of
individuals and private organizations, both in the United States and
abroad, who cooperated in providing information for this study (see
Appendix G). We also wish to thank the professional staff, directed by
Mitchel Wallerstein, which so ably organized the panel's briefings and
foreign fact-finding missions and laboriously wrote and rewrote the many
preliminary drafts of this report. Finally, I personally wish to thank the
members of the panel for their dedicated service in this lengthy and
sometimes contentious effort.

Last night marked the kickoff of their outlaw-themed On The Run summer tour. During the Miami concert, the couple shared intimate video clips from their wedding day during a performance of "Forever Young" and "Halo."
The world has seen little of the Carters' nuptials, which took place six years ago. Beyoncé included a clip of her wedding dress in her 2011 "I Was Here" video, but this is the first time the world is seeing her and H.O.V.A. exchanging vows. The footage also shows the lovebirds getting "IV" tattooed on their ring fingers in a celebration of their fascination with the number four.

PHILADELPHIA -- Vincent Lecavalier skated with his teammates Monday morning, but said he won't be playing when his Tampa Bay Lightning teammates take the ice against the Philadelphia Flyers (7:30 p.m., NBCSN, TSN2).
Lecavalier hasn't played since Feb. 18 when he broke his right hand during a game against the Washington Capitals.
"It was definitely my best day today, by far," Lecavalier said after this morning's practice. "I felt really good. Obviously I'm not going to play tonight (but) it's progressing really well."
Lecavalier said the power is returning to his shots, and that he hopes to get into a game at some point during the team's three-game road trip; after tonight's game in Philadelphia, they'll play in Boston and New Jersey.
"That's why I'm here," he said. "I want to play, (but) we'll see. It all depends on how it reacts. Today was probably the best day, but see how it feels tomorrow."
Lecavalier said he's anxious to jump back in the lineup.
"It's not really fun," he said of rehabilitating. "The first four weeks I was skating alone, no pucks. It wasn't a lot of fun. It'll be nice to get back to your teammates. Today just practicing with my teammates was a lot of fun."
With all the injuries the Lightning have suffered this season, coach Guy Boucher said he's happy to know that any of his veteran forwards are close to returning.
"It'll mean a lot for us," Boucher said. "Half the team is from the American league. Any guys we can get back makes a big, big difference. Our guys from the American league have done everything they could for us to stay in games and battle, and we have. Guys are playing real well. But like I've said before, we can't expect or put pressure on guys coming up and replacing Vinny. Power play, 5-on-5, and same thing with (Nate) Thompson, they're such important players for our team. (Adam) Hall's not there, (Ryan) Shannon's not there. More than half our forwards are guys that didn't start the year with us. It's important those guys understand we're asking them to do things they can do and when Vinny's back, we'll ask Vinny to do things he can do."

A common home appliance could have played a role in a fire that erupted on the second floor of a north Minneapolis duplex, killing five children and sending three others to the hospital on Valentine's Day, according to an investigator.
A space heater that had been running for several days is being investigated as details emerge about the fire.
Around 5 a.m. on Feb. 14, 60-year-old Troy Lewis was awoken by smoke and his children calling to him in his bedroom at a duplex on the 2800 block of North Colfax Avenue, according to an incident report from the Minneapolis Fire Department, which was made public Monday. When he opened his door, he was met by heavy smoke and fire.
When he saw he was unable to reach his seven children, he jumped out a window and went to the back of the duplex and up the rear stairs to rescue them, the report said. He was able to get to two of them on the third floor before he was overcome by the smoke and had to stop.
According to the report, the couple renting the first floor unit were sleeping when their son woke them and told them he heard yelling upstairs.
The Garrets saw Lewis hanging out of the window, yelling there was a fire and his children were in danger, the report said. The Garrets called 911 and evacuated the duplex.
When firefighters arrived, they were met by neighbors telling them children were still in the duplex. As they were entering the building to rescue the trapped children, the windows blew out of the second floor, the report said.
Firefighters located two victims on the second floor and three on the third, the report said. Three of those children were pronounced dead on the scene and two later died at North Memorial Medical Center, the report said. Their ages ranged from 18 months to 8-years-old.
The Hennepin County Medical Examiner says Troy, Christopher and Gwendolyn died due to smoke inhalation and carbon monoxide poisoning from a house fire, while Mary died due to apparent smoke inhalation and thermal injury, and Fannie died due to "inhalation of products of combustion from a house fire."
Lewis and his two surviving daughters were transported to Hennepin County Medical Center. A family spokesman says Lewis was released from Hennepin County Medical Center over the weekend. On Monday, a hospital spokeswoman said 9-year-old Shaca was in serious condition, and 5-year-old Electra had been upgraded to satisfactory condition.
A 6-foot hole had been burned into the floor of a bedroom, on the third floor and the stairs from the second floor to the third had been burned out, the report said. A bedroom on the second floor had been completely burned through.
According to the report, the living room and dining room on the second floor is the suspected origin of the fire. All the furniture had been reduced to springs, the report said. Lewis told officials the space heater in the living room had been running for several days prior to the fire.
It is unclear what role the space heater played, Minneapolis Fire Inspector Sean McKenna said. It is possible the fire started within the appliance or as a result of a faulty electrical supply or combustibles coming too close to the appliance, McKenna said.
The Minneapolis Police Department and the State Fire Marshal are continuing to investigate.
Meanwhile, funerals are scheduled Saturday for the five children who died.
The Rev. Jerry McAfee, who has been acting as a spokesman for the children's father Troy Lewis, tells the Star Tribune the funeral will take place at 11 a.m. at Shiloh Temple Church.

The Qvest #51 issue of the German magazine displays model Caroline Corinth amid oxford shoes and lettered football jackets. The collegiate feel of the production is instantly apparent, and the 'School Girl' title that is marked on the Qvest pages confirms its scholastic slant.
The Qvest School Girl editorial was overseen by photographer Christoph Wohlfahrt. Wohlfahrt's use of black, white and faded imagery is largely reminiscent of 1970s finishes here, and this selection has accorded the photoshoot with a rather retro feel. The bunched up socks and sweater vests worn by Corinth go hand in hand with the iconic decade as they form parts of the generation's staple fashion pieces,
especially where the preppy about town classmate is concerned.

Missouri Brings Relief to Political Gamblers
Most gamblers and pool bettors across the nation heaved a sigh of relief Wednesday when Missouri declared John McCain the winner of the Show Me State's 11 electoral votes, making the final 2008 electoral vote: Obama 365, McCain 173.
The action freed up billions in election pool bets frozen in 50 states and many foreign lands, allowing winners to be declared and infusing cash into new hands. The usual reliable sources in Washington said President-elect Obama breathed a sigh of relief. Even though he lost the votes, he was able make an early fulfillment of a campaign promise to "spread the wealth around."
Most winners, while frustrated at the long wait, said the timing was ideal, coming just 37 days before Christmas and on a day when the Dow skidded to a close below 8,000. However, rioting broke out in isolated corners of the country when some holders of the pool cash refused to distribute the winnings because the Missouri vote remained unofficial and will not be certified until December 9. In Ely, Nevada, where one local entrepreneur held out, windows were broken and throngs chanted in front of his emporium with accusing signs: "Who do you think you are? A banker?"

In our FIFA 13 review we said EA's latest "is still, just about, the best" football game on the market. Our reviewer praised "subtle, effective changes to the blueprint", called the new modes "a real success" and said it's "superb in multiplayer."
While the Xbox 360, PS3 and PC versions of the game have been showered with praise, the Nintendo Wii counterpart hasn't fared as well with Official Nintendo Magazine.
The publication has delivered its FIFA 13 Wii review and given it a score of 30%, calling the Wii version "a shamefully cynical 'update' that brings absolutely nothing new to the table."
Nintendo gamers looking to satiate their desire for virtual footy are recommended the much cheaper FIFA 12 or FIFA 13 on the Nintendo 3DS, which ONM says "is the best football game" on the handheld.
Alternatively they can hold on for the Wii U version launching alongside the console in November.

AVT/GMI Present Next Generation Color Control Solutions
September 1, 2009CHICAGO—September 1, 2009—AVT/GMI, the market leader in color control, press control and automatic inspection solutions, will be introducing new generation, closed loop color control and remote ink control solutions in booth #2631 at PRINT '09 in Chicago, September 11-16, 2009.
AVT and GMI will be introducing the new ColorQuick / Clarios, the next generation of automated closed loop color control, and Microcolor / Mercury, the next generation of remote ink control for commercial presses. A live pressroom demonstration of both new solutions will be offered at AVT / GMI's nearby customer, who has both systems installed. Transportation to and from the demos can be easily arranged at the AVT / GMI exhibit booth (#2631), or via the company website www.gmicolor.com.
Gal Shamri, GMI President, stated, "The new generation ColorQuick / Clarios and Microcolor / Mercury products are being introduced as part of our long term vision and commitment of providing our customers with process control and automation solutions that drive production excellence. These new products are a direct response to the continuing pressroom challenges that printers face going forward. Printers are being challenged today with tough economic conditions, rising costs for paper, ink and plates on one side, and more demanding customers on the other.
"Today's print market insists on shorter turn around, better color matching, and a more varied mix of products and formats. Based on GMI's leading spectrophotometer color control technology and the experienced gathered from thousands of Microcolor and ColorQuick installations, the new generation solutions provide printers with new levels of automation, new added value tools, dramatically increased ease of use, and faster operation. These new color control products form the foundation for optimum web press printing."

The ColorQuick product pioneered the on-web closed-loop color control using an ISO standard spectrophotometer to obtain the most accurate color measurements. Incorporating new hardware and software the new generation ColorQuick / Clarios takes this proven platform a dramatic step ahead offering a new operating experience while making it the ultimate color control solution in accuracy, productivity and capability.
ColorQuick / Clarios features:
• New, intuitive, easier to use, touch screen operation interface
• New, faster color control workflow, shortens make ready waste and time
• New Print Condition view that clearly shows the operator which print characteristics are in or out of tolerance – driving fast operator corrective action
• A Tone Value view that graphically reports on all the critical factors needed to check conformance to the new, TVI-based print standards

Great views, right on the dam, quiet atmosphere all around. Dinner is another upside. Prices are not average but the hotel boasts a unique location. Views from our room were breathtaking but decor needed refurbishing. Pricey but worth visiting.
