Arizona Diamondbacks starter Brandon McCarthy ready to rejoin rotation
Nearly two full months after being placed on the 15-day disabled list with right shoulder inflammation, Brandon McCarthy was in the Arizona Diamondbacks clubhouse on Saturday and he said he was ready to rejoin the team.
The night before, on Friday in Reno, McCarthy made his second rehab start since being placed on the disabled list, holding Seattle Mariners Triple-A affiliate, the Tacoma Rainiers, to six hits and three runs (two earned), throwing 85 pitches over 6.0 innings pitched.
"Everything was kind of there," McCarthy said of the outing. "I felt comfortable. I was able to get back into mental game shape where you're kind of going after it and you're pushing through where you've been before. So that was all positive."
McCarthy has landed on the disabled list in each of his last five seasons with a shoulder injury and his current stint is the eighth of his career.
Last September, while pitching for the Oakland Athletics, the 30-year-old suffered a head injury from a line drive hit off the bat of Erick Aybar, requiring emergency brain surgery and requiring him to sit out for the rest of the season. McCarthy suffered a seizure related to the 2012 head injury back in early June -- an incident he said wouldn't be a setback in his injury rehabilitation.
The right-hander's lengthy injury history has made his current recovery easier to deal with, he said.
"The first time or two that I went through this, I came back and was garbage because it feels like Game 7 of the World Series," he said. "You're amped, there's too much energy, you don't know how to control it. You peter out really quick.
"Now I feel like when I come back it feels like just a start again. You get your normal butterflies but it kind of feeds in with the rehab starts. At least going through the two, I treat them like big league starts. I don't do anything different."
Now, after two months of pacing his rehabilitation, McCarthy said he feels he's ready to return to the Diamondbacks.
"In terms of pitching, I feel like I'm where I'd like to be. Usually when I go through this process the second one, I want to see myself being what I consider to be major league ready.
"I want to feel sharp and have places to build off of and that was the case last night. This is typically where I like to be and this it's where I am right now."
Regardless of his perceived readiness to rejoin the team, however, the Diamondbacks seemed to have a starting pitching logjam over the last month, making it difficult to foresee a spot for McCarthy to fit into the rotation.
Even McCarthy himself wasn't sure how he'd crack into the starting staff.
"That's not my job," he said. "It's a good problem to have for them. But I don't sit down and stew. I don't look at rosters. I don't look at depth. If everybody is throwing well, it sorts itself out. These things always kind of work out."
Hours after his statement, the quandary, indeed, may have worked itself out.
Twenty-one-year-old Diamondbacks starter Tyler Skaggs struggled mightily with his command, walking five Padres, and hitting one, while giving up seven runs in just 3.2 innings pitched. Just 44 of Skaggs' 85 pitches on Saturday were for strikes and he allowed three hits.
Given Skaggs' relative lack of effectiveness this season and McCarthy's claim of recovery, it's possible that his return could come on Thursday -- exactly two months after being placed on the disabled list -- in the Diamondbacks makeup game against the Texas Rangers in Arlington.
He'd welcome that.
"Summer vacation is over now."

A magazine focusing on Arizona's high-tech people, companies and industries will be launched early next year.
Called Techconnect, the magazine is a joint project of two high-tech advocacy groups — the Arizona Technology Council and the Southern Arizona Tech Council — and the Arizona Department of Commerce, the state agency responsible for economic development. The magazine will be based at the Arizona council's offices at 1295 W. Washington St., Tempe.
Three issues will be published next year — in February, June and September. If successful, the frequency will be increased to four or five times a year, publisher and editor Kathy Sacks said. Its mission will be to feature the people, companies, technologies and ideas that are transforming Arizona's future, she said, adding that it will be the only magazine solely devoted to technology and innovation in Arizona.
"Our aim . . . is to make sure that each issue brings technology to the level of the individual and spreads the gospel of Arizona's technology assets — both inside the state and to the rest of the world," said Paul Johnson, chairman of the Arizona Technology Council.
Techconnect will be available through individual subscriptions. Also it will be distributed to technology leaders and policy-makers and economic development groups such as the Department of Commerce, which can use the magazine on trade missions outside the state, Sacks said.
The first issue, expected to be about 40 pages, will have a circulation of about 20,000, she said. The magazine will be self-supporting through advertising and subscription revenue.
Sacks is a former editor and vice president of business development at bizAZ magazine and plans to use her experience and contacts from that publication to establish Techconnect.
Jim Nissen of Switch Studio will be the designer. He has extensive experience in magazine design including bizAZ, Serving Arizona and Trends. Articles will be written by freelance writers. Subjects will range from university programs to bioscience to aerospace to semiconductors and nanotechnology.
The first issue will feature Gov. Janet Napolitano's Council on Innovation and Technology, which is preparing recommendations to strengthen the state's technology industries and competitive position.
Each issue will include columns on award-winning companies, government policies and initiatives affecting the tech sector, progress around the state in business development and interviews with key individuals. Attention will be paid to people and businesses that are under the radar screens of other publications, Sacks said.
"All too often we find ourselves reading about the same small group of already familiar personalities and companies," she said. "Techconnect will look for techno-talent that has yet to be transformed into overhyped celebrity."
Inquiries on advertising and editorial opportunities can be directed to Sacks at (602) 343-8324, Ext. 107 or email@example.com

Designed by a team led by developer Jonathan Rose Companies, this proposed a modern apartment building features three unit options of 303 square feet for small space city living. Each apartment comes with a bathroom, kitchen, convertible bed, and a balcony. The designs are elegant and straight-forward showing a level of thoughtfulness when it comes to the building's cost-effectiveness and sustainability. Communal spaces can be found throughout the building, which also add to the building's thoughtfulness.
Micro-apartments continue to grow in acceptance across the United States, and this competition shows the growth through a variety of designs. The team member LifeEdited had a recent micro-apartment commended for its design, while Jonathan Rose Companies is well known for their work in New York City for sustainable housing. The Via Verde apartment complex in the Bronx is one of the most striking designs in the push for sustainable housing in New York City.

One strong memory of his childhood was seeing a photograph of the body of Emmett Till, a 14-year-old who was tortured and murdered for "insulting" a white woman in Money, Miss, about 100 miles northeast of Vicksburg. Duke was 11 then, just three years younger than Emmett.
"It was a frightful thing," he says. "It's as if they were trying to say: 'Nigger, stay in your place.' "
The conviction that politics is for other people proved hard to shake. Duke's father, who upon separating from Duke's mother brought the baby boy to live with a grandmother, apparently never considered trying to vote.
"You couldn't vote in Mississippi in those days," Duke says. "Most of it was survival. When I was a young kid, we wouldn't even think of voting."
In 1962, the father paid his son's way to North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University (A&T), a historically black college in Greensboro.
Duke arrived just two years after four A&T students sat down at a local Woolworths counter and asked to be served. The protest – which grew to hundreds of people and lasted six months – electrified nearby colleges and launched other civil rights protests across the Old South.
"It was an exciting time," says Duke, who says he knew the four activists – Ezell Blair Jr. (now Jibreel Khazan), David Richmond, Joseph McNeil, and Franklin McCain at the university. Still, he wasn't moved to cast a vote. That, he now says, was a mistake.

Hard drives buying guide
Photos, videos, games, TV shows, documents and more: our lives are becoming increasingly digitised with every passing day. On the whole, this is a good thing, but it does create one problem. We're running out of room on our hard drives.
Until recently, a few megabytes seemed like a whole universe of space, but now it's possible to fill up a drive millions of times that size in just a few days. At some stage, you're going to need more storage.
What sort of hard drive do you want?
There are two main types of hard drive, internal and external. Buying a new hard drive to go inside your PC is slightly cheaper, but they're tricky to fit and mean that all your data is stuck in one place.
So should I get an external drive?
External drives connect to your computer via USB cables, and the advantage is that you can unplug them and take them with you if you want to watch a movie on another PC or laptop, say. Some TVs even have USB ports for reading photos and video files from a hard drive, for example. The only downside is that you can't install programs directly on to an external drive.
What about back-up?
The other reason to buy an external drive is that you can use it to duplicate data from your PC's main hard disk. This means that if your PC breaks down, any photos, videos or important documents you've copied over are easily rescued. Often, new external drives will come with software to make backing up data simple.
What about networked drives?
There is a third way of getting more storage, and that's to plug a hard drive into your home network, so that it can be accessed and shared by any PC you own. These are called Network Attached Storage (NAS) drives, and usually come as a single device that plugs into your router. Some routers, however, have USB slots so you can use a standard external drive in the same way.
- SSD - the latest type of hard disk is the Solid State Drive, or SSD for short. Like camera memory cards, these use silicon chips rather than magnetic discs to store data. They're popular in laptops because they use very little power, so extend battery life, and are hard to damage. But they are expensive per gigabyte of space compared to traditional drives.
- Terabyte - many new hard drives will have their capacity measured in terabytes, or TB for short. A terabyte is a thousand gigabytes (GB), which in turn is a thousand megabytes (MB). A digital movie can easily be a gigabyte or more, and modern video games can use up to 20GB of space. It's surprisingly easy to fill even a terabyte drive.
- USB - Universal Serial Bus is the standard way of transmitting data between a PC or laptop and an external device, like a hard drive. It's also how you hook up printers and keyboards. A new version, USB 3.0, is now available which supports much faster file transfer speeds - but only if both hard drive and your PC or laptop have USB 3.0 compatible ports.

Optional: You can enter notes about this product below. If you do not wish to add notes, click the 'Add' button.
Sun Protection Liquid Foundation SPF 42 PA+++ deserves much praise not only for offering substantial sun protection via its in-part titanium dioxide sunscreen but also for having a silky, lightweight texture that blends easily. It offers a sheer matte finish but can provide medium to nearly full coverage if needed, all without feeling thick or looking heavy.
The silicone-enhanced fluid is ideal for normal to very oily skin and an excellent option for outdoor wear when you're active because it stays in place and is water-resistant. That doesn't mean you can apply it once and sit by the pool or play volleyball all day, but it is one of the few foundations that provide sufficient sun protection and keep looking fresh even through strenuous activities. Just be sure to reapply periodically during long days outdoors, and take other sun-protective measures, too (hat, sunglasses, seeking shade when possible).
Of the shades available, SP40 and SP50 are a bit too peach for most medium skin tones. The other shades are great options for light and dark (but not very dark) skin.
From a formulary perspective, we wanted to let you know that this foundation does contain a small amount of fragrance as well as isopropyl alcohol (also known as rubbing alcohol). In all likelihood, neither is present in an amount that would be cause for concern.
Note: Although this foundation provides broad-spectrum sun protection on its own, you must apply it liberally and evenly to get the stated level of protection. A sheer or spot application will not provide the amount of sun protection the label indicates. If you're not likely to apply this foundation liberally, we recommend applying it over a moisturizer with sunscreen rated SPF 20 or greater and setting your foundation with a pressed powder rated SPF 15 or greater.
Second note: PA followed by plus signs (PA+++, for example) is a designation used in Japan for rating the UVA protection of a sunscreen. The SPF number is about the sun's UVB rays; there are very few countries that have a UVA rating reference. Three plus symbols after the "PA" indicate the highest level of UVA protection, which can be as low as PA+, which means some UVA protection. The PA standard is not accepted or used in other countries, but because NARS is owned by Japan-based Shiseido, some of their products have begun to include it on the labeling. The concept is interesting, but ultimately the SPF rating and the active ingredients matter far more because the method of assessing UVA protection is not widely accepted, primarily because it is very difficult to get agreement from scientists on what tests to use and what they mean.
This full-coverage, liquid foundation leaves a flawless, transfer-resistant, dewy and luminous finish that lasts for hours. Resistant against water and oil. PABA-free.
Active Ingredients: Octinoxate 1.9% Titanium Dioxide, 8.3% Inactive Ingredients: Water, Dimethicone, Trimethylsiloxysilicate, Isododecane, Polymethyl Methacrylate, Cyclomethicone, SD Alcohol 40-B, PEG/PPG-19/19 Dimethicone, Hydrogenated Polyisobutene, BIS-Butyldimethicone Polyglyceryl-3, PEG/PPG-14/7 Dimethyl Ether, Saxi Fraga Sarmentosa Extract, Sodium Hyaluronate, Sophora Angustifolia Root Extract, Aluminum Hydroxide, Aluminum Distearate, Alumina, Isotearic Acid, Triethoxycaprylysilane, Trisodium EDTA, Silica, Polysilicone-2, Alcohol, Sodium Magnesium Silicate, Hydrated Silica, Butylene Glycol, Glycerin, Tocopherol, Distearyldimonium Chloride, BHT, Syzgium Jambos Leaf Extract, Hydrogen Dimethicone, Tin Oxide, Phenoxyethanol, Fragrance, Titanium Dioxide, Iron Oxides, Mica.
Shiseido is one of the largest cosmetic companies in Japan, and the founder wants consumers worldwide to know that the brand he began is meant for all who seek beauty. Oddly enough, Shiseido (pronounced "she-say-doe"), whose products have a distinctly Japanese appearance and appeal, began in 1872 as Japan's first Western-style pharmacy. Its products have been sold in the United States for over 40 years, and it has become a nearly overwhelming product line. Although there are some respectable products, Shiseido's skin-care collection is far from a total approach to anything, unless your skin-care mantra is "it has to be average yet needlessly expensive and the routine has to include more products than any other line recommends."
A total approach to health and beauty would take into account all that has been learned to date about how skin functions, how it can repair itself, how it ages, and what it realistically takes for it to look, feel, and function at its best. Such an approach does not, however, involve cleansers with alkaline ingredients that cause skin to be unnecessarily dry, lackluster toners, or far too many products with alcohol; that can only harm the skin, which isn't beautiful in the least.
Shiseido doesn't have the issue of sun protection down yet, as witness a few of their sunscreens that still lack sufficient UVA protection - even though they participate in Japan's UVA-based PA rating system (explained in the Sun Products reviews below). And when it comes to state-of-the art essentials such as antioxidants, cell-communicating ingredients, and substances that reinforce the structure of healthy skin, Shiseido typically comes up short. You'll hear (and read) much talk about the company's exclusive technologies, but terms like Bio-Regenerine, Phyto-Capsule Emulsification, Optimal Balance Network, and Deacti-Complex are meaningless without significant, proven ingredients to support each technology's alleged function. We're sure they are intended to make the products seem more advanced and special to consumers, but the proof is in the ingredient lists, and very few of Shiseido's lists fall under the category of impressive.
If anything, the numerous skin-care options presented here are merely average or really disappointing. Many of the moisturizers have luscious textures, but again, it takes more than a sensational feel to create exceptional products that have your skin's best interest (and best appearance) in mind.
One point of difference with this line is that Shiseido insists on regular facial massage. That means you'll find several facial massage creams, although most of them have traditional moisturizer formularies that differ little from what's seen throughout the lineup. Shiseido maintains that routine facial massage creates firmer skin that's less prone to sagging because the massage action tones the muscles, but that simply isn't true. The muscles of the face are among the most frequently used. Repetitive muscle movements are a prime cause of expression lines around the eyes, mouth, and on the forehead. Botox has become such a popular procedure because it selectively prevents these muscles from working, which smoothes creases and lines. Massage alone cannot do that; if anything, routine facial massage can encourage lines and sagging by stretching the skin. Furthermore, when skin slackens and sags, it involves more than just the muscles. Sun damage plays a role in collagen and elastin destruction, as does gravity, which causes fat pads beneath the skin to slip. And then there's bone loss, and the fact that, as we age, skin continues to grow (yet has less to hold on to). Massage to repair sun damage—give me a break!

Shiseido Makeup
Although Shiseido is known more for their seemingly endless array of skin-care products, their makeup, while not without its problem-child products, is clearly not just an afterthought. The main and most impressive part of the color collection is the foundations. For the most part they have silky textures, and provide adequate sun protection (at least an SPF 15 with UVA-protecting ingredients). If you're keen on shopping this line you should also pay attention to their Perfect Rouge Lipstick, lip gloss, the mascaras, and some distinctive specialty products. Items to avoid entirely include the eye and brow pencils and a couple of the eyeshadows; the makeup brushes are serviceable, but pale in comparison to what makeup artist–backed lines offer. Ignore the inflated claims that accompany many of Shiseido's makeup products, but don't ignore the best of what they have to offer—because in that regard, they're better than ever!
I bought this foundation for extra protection during long summer days. I was looking for something with good SPF, coverage and tenacity. This product broke me out like crazy. I never have breakouts and didn't even know that a product could do it to me! Within a few days my chin and lower face was covered in deep cysts! The foundation itself feels extremely thick and dry on the skin and does not wash off easily. It is very hard to put any makeup over it. I felt like I covered my face with cement!
I have sensitive combo skin/oily T-zone, and this stays put all day - no transfer or slip. Dries to a pore-less finish & covers redness. Friends think I'm not wearing any makeup! There's no moisturizer in this foundation so I use a light moisturizer underneath during summer, and a heavier one in winter. Lightest color #10 is still a little dark on me so I mix it with a dab of Cover Girl Aqua Smooth or Lorac Natural Performance - also helps it smooth on better. Terrific tenacious SPF protection!
This my HG foundation for summer days at the beach or the pool. It is incredibly water and sweat resistant, with a satin-matte finish that looks like skin. Girls with oily skin will fall in love with it, but it does accentuate dry patches. The sun protection is very reliable, but since it's a foundation, you don't want to put it on too heavily. I layer it over another water-resistant sunscreen. This won't wash off with cleanser alone, you'll need a soft washcloth or Clarisonic to remove it.
This foundation feels wonderful when you put it on; silky. But I am in my late 60's and much as I love this, I cannot buy it again because it gravitates into my wrinkles. Even after buffing it out, the product returns to where i don't want it. Too bad, really.

Kilgour, the Savile Row staple once charged with keeping stylish gents like Cary Grant and Fred Astaire looking good, is back in the hands of creative director Carlo Brandelli. Brandelli, a designer with a keen eye for adapting traditional tailoring into fresh silhouettes, served as the house's creative director from 2002 until 2009, but resigned after ownership of the brand changed hands. Now the label that Brandelli helped shake off its old world trappings is back, available exclusively at MR PORTER. Like the designer's previous tenure, Brandelli's first offerings put a youthful-yet-elegant twist on tailored clothing, from a two-button double-breasted suit to a luxe jersey tee to throw on underneath. The Brandelli signature silhouette, a one-button soft tailored jacket, serves as the foundation for most of the line's suiting which won't look out of place at the office, but won't go unnoticed either.

Chief Acquisition Officers:
Appointments Generally Conform to Legislative Requirements, but Agencies Need to Clearly Define Roles and Responsibilities
GAO-12-792: Published: Jul 26, 2012. Publicly Released: Jul 26, 2012.
Additional Materials:
- Highlights Page:
- Full Report:

(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
What GAO Found
Most agencies have appointed Chief Acquisition Officers (CAO) in accordancewith two of the three key requirements in the Services Acquisition Reform Act of2003 (SARA): that the CAOs be political appointees and have agency SeniorProcurement Executives report directly to them. However, few CAOs haveacquisition management as their primary duty; other areas of responsibilityincluded financial, information, and human capital management.
Several CAOs noted that their additional responsibilities were not a detriment. Rather, they believe that performing multiple roles helps them positively influence acquisition management across their agencies. For example, the CAO at the Department of Commerce stated that his additional responsibilities gave him the ability to integrate planning, budgeting, risk management, human resources, and acquisition to achieve the agencys mission.
CAOs reported varying levels of involvement in the acquisition management functions for which they are responsible. Generally, CAOs see their role as providing high-level oversight of the acquisition function as opposed to day-today management, which they typically delegated to the Senior Procurement Executive or other officials as permitted by the legislation. Many CAOs said that the amount of their involvement is related to several factors, such as the nature of goods and services that the agency buys and whether the agency has a centralized or decentralized acquisition function.
Having clearly defined roles and responsibilities of stakeholders in the acquisition process is a key element of an effective acquisition function. Yet at many agencies, the statutory roles and responsibilities of the CAO position are not described in detail in acquisition regulations, policies, or other documentation. These agencies may be missing an opportunity to fully institutionalize the CAO position within their senior leadership structures.
CAOs at the 16 agencies generally did not report facing significant challenges related to the CAO position, such as the level of influence they have in their agencys acquisition process, amount of control over acquisition budget resources, and access to agency leadership. Consistent with our prior work on the acquisition workforce, however, most CAOs reported that not having enough staff to manage acquisitions was moderately to extremely challenging.
Why GAO Did This Study
Federal agencies spent more than half a trillion dollars in fiscal year 2011 through contracts to acquire goods and services in support of their missions, but have historically faced significant acquisition management challenges preventing them from getting the best return on their investments. The SARA legislation requires 16 federal civilian agencies to appoint a Chief Acquisition Officer to advise and assist agency leadership to help ensure that the agencys mission is achieved through the management of its acquisition activities. GAO was asked to examine: (1) how agencies have filled the CAO position; (2) the extent to which CAOs are involved in performing the acquisition management functions set forth in the SARA legislation and Office of Management and Budget (OMB) guidance; and (3) what challenges, if any, agency CAOs report in fulfilling their responsibilities. GAO administered a questionnaire to 16 CAOs, reviewed documentation on CAOs roles and responsibilities, organizational placement, and backgrounds, and interviewed a number of CAOs and other acquisition officials.
What GAO Recommends
GAO recommends that the Administrator of OMBs Office of Federal Procurement Policy work with the CAO Council to issue guidance directing agencies to more clearly define CAOs roles and responsibilities. The Administrator agreed with the recommendation.

Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In October 2012, the Administrator of Federal Procurement Policy issued a memorandum to agency Chief Acquisition Officers and Senior Procurement Executives which reiterated GAO's findings and directed them to update their internal management policies to clearly define CAO responsibilities so that they reflect statutory and regulatory requirements. The memo also directed agencies to focus on Chief Acquisition Officer roles and responsibilities that can have the biggest impact on the agency's ability meet its mission goals effectively and efficiently.
Recommendation: To strengthen the functions of CAOs in acquisition management, the Administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy, working with the CAO Council, should issue guidance to agencies directing them to ensure that CAO roles and responsibilities are more clearly defined in accordance with law and regulations, tailored to suit the agency's acquisition activities, and documented as appropriate.

For fountain pen users,...
For fountain pen users, the CD15 is an excellent and affordable alternative to
the hugely expensive moleskine-style notebooks by Rhodia, et al. At only 1/8"
think, the CD15 is thin and floppy, but not in a way that feels cheap or like it
will fall apart from reasonable use. It will easily fit into even the most
crowded backpacks and laptop cases. For people who want a thicker notebook of
almost-equal quality there is the Apica 6A10 Basic, though you won't be able to
get it through JetPens (yet, hopefully).
As for the paper's performance with fountain pens, you can find several great reviews through Google and YouTube, but in my experience limited to a wet-ish Lamy Safari F I've had absolutely no issues with bleeding or feathering so far, including some of the wetter inks that I've consistently had trouble with on lower-quality papers. That said, I don't have any of the particularly notorious inks to test with, so YMMV. The only reason I gave 4/5 stars (and, really, it's more like 4.8/5), is that the paper is so smooth that I've had issues using normal pens with the CD15. Sub-0.5mm gel pens work just fine, but any broader and you'll soon find your pen sliding around the paper like a first-time ice skater. Ballpoints were even worse; some wouldn't write at all. Some people might like the ultra-smoothness, but for me it just brought up flashbacks of pre-school writing frustration. 2 people found this helpful

Because of the low price point and the fact that it's sold at pretty much every drugstore, this product is a great place to start. It creates a glowy, radiant finish and comes in two shades, Light/Medium and Medium/Deep. The down side of traditional BB cream is that, because of its Asian market target, they often come in only light shades, so darker-skinned girls should give this one a shot. If you're ghost pale, as I am, the Light/Medium may be too dark for you. [$12.99 at Ulta, Light/Medium and Medium/Deep]

University of North Carolina At Chapel Hill |
In the Boettiger lab, our work focuses on improving our understanding of the neurobiology of substance use disorders (SUDs) by identifying and characterizing neurocognitive biomarkers and intermediate phenotypes. Recently, our work has approached this issue from two directions. First, we are carefully dissecting probable intermediate phenotypes, including: immediate reward selection bias, enhanced habit learning, and attentional bias toward reward-related cues. Secondly, we are identifying objective neurocognitive measures of addiction severity and therapeutic response. Through these approaches, we hope to realize more effective treatment and prevention strategies for SUDs, which are the leading cause of preventable death in the U.S. Our techniques include combining discrete cognitive tasks in human subjects with neuroimaging, pharmacology, physiological measures, genetics, and epigenetics. |

Well...I've been carrying my G26 in a MTAC IWB most of the time now...but there are occasions when I go to my 3 inch GP100 for that warm-n-fuzzy feeling.
Like most on this forum, I have a box of holsters for most every weapon owned. I do have some great OWB holsters for the heavier .357 magnum but few good IWB that I consider comfortable. I kind of like the leather/hybrid holster combinations...so...had to try one for the ol' revolver.
Now...after trying Jimmy's KHolster...I've got to tell you: I find it functional and very comfortable! The leather against the skin is comfy...and the kydex half shell holds the weapon snug and this is a much thinner holster than all leather holsters. Weapon snaps in with that nice "thunk" and presents Oh-so-Kydex-quickly. I have a winner here...and it was a pleasure doing business with Jimmy.

Mentoring & Advising Program
About the Program
The Career Advising Program in the School of Medicine is designed to assist medical students in developing the knowledge and skills to make good specialty choices. Following the guidelines of the AAMC Careers in Medicine Program, we offer activities and seminars in all four years. I encourage all students to take advantage of these resources offered to them: faculty advisors, residency advisors, student organized Specialty Talks, MedNet sessions and Specialty Interests Groups.
Specialty Talks Elective for Classes of 2017 & 2018
Purpose: To assist MS1 and MS2 medical students in learning about different medical specialties.
Schedule: 10 in-class sessions from 3:00-4:00pm on Wednesdays (8/27, 9/17, 10/8, 11/12, 12/3, 1/14, 2/25, 3/11. 4/8, 4/22) & a Special Speed-Dating Session during the Winter Term (date to be determined).
Taught by: Dr. Ben Schneider
- Assessment Methods:
Participation (at least 8 out of 10 sessions required),
Submission of session questionnaires for all attended sessions,
Submission of summary of an informational faculty interview in a specialty of your choice,
Completion of Careers in Medicine website self-assessment profiles,
submit printed screens (Medical Specialty Preference Inventory, Physician Values in Practice Scale, Specialty Indecision Scale)
Additional Specialty talks Course Information
- Learning Objectives:
1. Upon completion of this course, students will have improved insight about their own values, interests and skills and use this information to appraise how those fit with different medical specialties.
2. Conduct an informational interview with one representative physician in a field of possible interest and write a brief report on what they learned and gained from the experience.
3. Gain exposure through the panels, interview and speed dating to a number of possible career mentors.
4. Report in writing what excited, surprised and reassured them about the information they gained in both specialty and personal exploration.
Peer-to-Peer Advising
What is Peer-to-Peer Advising?
Peer-to-Peer Advising is a program which integrates students from all four years medical school classes into groups consisting of 12-16 students, with three to four students from each class. Peer-to-peer Advising is now student-run and students may self-assign to small groups through the Medical Curriculum page on Sakai.
What is the purpose of Peer-to-Peer Advising?
1. To discuss issues related to the professional development of a physician.
2. To discuss issues pertinent to each class and have students share their experiences.
What is the role of the Student Leaders?
Each group will have a 4th year Student Leader to assure leadership in the discussion. The 4th year student communicate with the group about meeting date and time, the the topic of the meeting, and submitting a write-up of the meeting to the Program Director. The 4th year will facilitate the group discussion.
AAMC Careers in Medicine
Careers in Medicine is a career planning program through the AAMC designed to help you choose a medical specialty and select and apply to a residency program. The program will guide you through the elements of career planning, including self-understanding, exploring a variety of medical careers, and finally choosing a specialty to meet your career objectives.
The program includes a password-protected Web site, printed student manuals, school-sponsored workshops, and advisors. In order to access the program, students must have an access code and register on the site. The student may request an access code directly from CIM.

Dade-Broward National Signing Day preview
January 29, 2015 in Broward High Schools, Dade High Schools, Football, Recruiting | Permalink | Comments (0)
Spring helps rising football prospects emerge
There was a time - not so long ago - when spring football was a month where players and coaches could evaluate what they need to do during the summer. There was really no pressure other than to get better.
Times have changed - and for those standout football prospects in Miami-Dade and Broward County, the month of May is now time to not only get better, but to be watched and evaluated by over 100 college coaches who have found their way to this region of the country.
In addition to the colleges getting more of an opportunity to see these prospects, the players also have more exposure than ever before.
Not only are there daily practices and scrimmages that have caught the attention of college coaches, but with a spring game and last weekend's Second Annual Officials Clinic and Scrimmage at Tamiami Park, which attracted 40 schools, more and more athletes are being discovered.
"Having been through four decades of coaching here in south Florida, the opportunity that the players are now receiving is tremendous," said first year Piper head coach Roger Mitchell. "The many avenues they have down here gives these talented young men more of the chance to impress."
There were a number of schools who participated in last weekend's scrimmage – from Miami-Dade and Broward. Taking part were Miami Springs, Fort Lauderdale, Miami Northwest Christian, Miami Palmer Trinity, Southwest Miami, Deerfield Beach, Plantation, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons, North Miami Beach, Braddock, Coral Glades, Hialeah Goleman, Piper, Miami Archbishop Carroll, Monarch, Oakland Park Northeast, Miami Dr. Krop, LaSalle, Davie Nova, Miami Beach, Miami Belen Jesuit, Miami Sunset, Hialeah Miami Lakes, Coral Gables, Westland Hialeah, Flanagan, Pines Charter, Miami Coral Park, Fort Lauderdale Stranahan, North Miami, Mourning, Coral Springs, Hialeah American, Pompano Beach Blanche Ely, Miami Edison, Miami Ferguson, South Plantation, Hialeah Gardens and Pompano.
Prospects used the two days to grab the attention of the coaches, recruiting services and the media. Several jumped on the radar for the first time - while others backed up the hype.
Here are a few prospects who turned heads:
Peyton Bender, QB, Fort Lauderdale Cardinal Gibbons (2014): It was easy to see why Coach Mike Leach recruited this quality talent all the way from Washington State to play in the Pac-12. This is an accurate passer who makes great decisions and does what is needed to move the chains and get into the end zone.
Anthony Brown, DE, 6-3, 235, Miami Archbishop Carroll (2014): Talk about a well kept secret. Here is a prospects who has the chance to be very special. His size, athletic ability and knowledge of the game is becoming more and more evident as coaches are starting to see this gifted young man perform.
Steve Ishmael, WR/S, North Miami Beach (2014): What more can you say about perhaps one of the best two-way performers in the state? This is a talented, quick athlete who does the little things to get into the end zone. On defense, he will hit you and pick you clean.
Travis Liburd, RB/DB, Piper (2016): One of the players who will really make a huge impact this coming season. A very young performer who is athletic and has the speed to give the Bengals a threat from anywhere on the field. This is going to be one to keep an eye on.
Rashad Maine, DE, Miami Carol City (2014): Another prospect we watched on the offensive line last year for the Chiefs, but this spring, he has blown up as a defensive player - and in the events we have watched him at, he has shown that he will certainly be in the offensive backfield a lot in 2013.
Gerald Nesbitt, DL, Fort Lauderdale (2014): It's safe to say that this is going to be one of those prospects who totally used this spring to elevate his status. This is a quality football talent who will get after you on defense, but also has the strength and athletic ability to play on the offensive line has well.
Lorenza Thomas, LB, Deerfield Beach (2014): The Bucks have plenty of athletes, but this is one that has to turn your head - a little bit. He can run, drop into coverage and even play tight end on the offensive side of the ball. Will end up being one of the top prospects at his position.
Victor Young, LB, Miami-Dade Christian (2014): One of the key returnees from the Crusaders' best season ever, finishing second in the state among 2A schools, this is indeed a very impressive football player who will one of the leaders on the team. His ability to make plays is something that everyone has watched. Will be a very good player once again this season.
There are many more - and as you know - I will bring them all to you during the rest of the spring and into the summer.
We are always looking to help promote our area recruits for the current Class of 2014, 2015, 2016 and 2017. All you have to do is send a You Tube or Hudl link and information about the athlete to: Larry Blustein at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Viewing hidden storage drives on a Windows 2000 machine
Site expert Kevin Beaver explains how you can view hidden storage drives on a Windows 2000 machine.
- How are they hiding the drives?
- Is every user an administrator-equivalent?
You can go out to a command prompt and enter dir to see if you see the files/folders. You can also enter attrib to see if you see them. If attrib shows them with an H (meaning hidden), then you can enter attrib filename/foldername h to remove the hidden property. Just be careful with this and make sure you have good backups before doing anything with your file system.

shirtless commented on the blog post This Just In: Love And Marriage Often Go Together Like A Horse And Carriage
Margaret, I suspect the outlook for trans people may be better than you think. I am a parent of a gender nonconforming child as well as a member of a support group for parents of trans/gender nonconforming children (elementary school age). We are not parents trying to change our children but to support them in their gender identity. There is increasing demand for such support groups, I am told, by the PFLAG group near us. More and more parents are supporting their children rather than trying to change them, which leads to all kinds of activism on trans issues. I can tell you this life experience has transformed me into a serious activist for trans equality, respect, and rights.
shirtless commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
I do think that, as adults, children are obvously no longer children and have to answer for their actions. I am glad you brought up both Chelsea Clinton and Amy Carter, each of whom made quite different choices from the other. I would argue about assuming "stuff runs in the family." I would say people should be judged by their own actions rather than those of their parents or other family members. My dad watches fox news and believes lots of tea partyish things. I don't, to say the least. Anyone assuming I share any political views with him would be making a serious mistake.
shirtless commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
I responded to ECahn at 15. He/she refers to Obama's children as "rapacious" and wanting big weddings, implying that as children of the president, even if they are only barely tweens, they are looking ahead to their "expensive weddings." This is not a political statement I am making (maybe it is, in its own way, now that I think about it). It's a statement about decency toward children even when you believe, as I do, that their father is doing a wretched job as president. Can a 10 or 12 year old really be rapacious? I'm not sure they're even mature enough to have that in them. Some kids might, but I would definitely give them the benefit of the doubt at this age and because as people, they have the right to not be personally attacked.
shirtless commented on the blog post Early Morning Swim
I apologize if this has already been addressed, so please correct me if that is the case. I can't stand that Obama's children are being trashed here. How old are they–10 and 12 or so? As much as I have been critical of Obama and his seeming presidential incompetence, I have no contempt for his children. This just seems hateful to me rather than productive in any way. I don't want to become hateful even if our political system is in a shambles.

Scott B Comments: Sure the cross-eyed owl and cherry-shaking duo being eaten by a giant flower seems bizarre, but the back cover explains that it's a Bosch painting (so intellectual!) and it's a better portrayal of the author's work than any modern artist could make (so they don't have to pay anybody for a cover!). The back cover also DARES YOU (in type so large they can't fit a four-letter word on there) to, I don't know, have acid flashbacks or something. Not that you should do that! But read this book, because the author did that. Or something.

December 11th, 2012 at 9:20 ambut…. it's called Honeymoon in Hell ? it sounds about as terrifyingly out there as a episode of Fawlty Towers
Jaouad Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 9:56 amI only have one thing to say: DYD OOA URE!
But I do like the way they managed to fit the rooster logo between those two feet.
towrope Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 10:07 amMy honeymoon involved naked prancing, big red balls, giant tulips and an owl and I thought it was quite nice. You just can't please some people
SI Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 10:25 am"meh… could be worse darling… they could of taken us to HULL!"
Ah ha ha ha ha ha. I'm coming to a free comedy festival near you!
Vigan Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 10:30 amAnd just what is the significance of "O, OO" in Honeymoon?
Adam Roberts Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 10:47 amI worry for Brown's first name. My sense is he starts out as 'Frederick'; then the cover truncates it to 'Fredric'; then 'Fred'. His first name is like one of those on-the-run Loopers from the film Looper, getting bits chopped off minute to minute.
Phil Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 12:21 pmYeah, what is it with the parents of SF writers, not being content with the conventional spelling of Frederick?
I assume the "O, OO" is to imply some resonance with the otherwise irrelevant owl (which, incidentally, would make a nice occasional replacement for the modesty sheep or the embarrassed C.S. Lewis. Everytime we saw it, we would think "O, OO, there must be something hidden under there." (Imagine Frankie Howerd saying it, and you'll get the idea.)
Tat Wood Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 12:55 pmThat's not an owl, it's conjoined penguins.And the odd spellings of what might be 'Frederic' are usually the result of having German-speaking dads, which used to be an entrance requirement in the 30s pulps.
L.B. Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 1:07 pmThat pic doesn't look like it's from one of Bosch' 'Hell' pieces. Looks more like a 'Garden of delights' character. Unless the main character's neighbour is the Birdman or the folks with instruments coming out of their nether regions….

Anti-Sceptic Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 6:55 pmSeeing the location of the lower cherry just makes me wonder if it was placed there, or if it was actually produced by one of the half-people.
Anti-Sceptic Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 6:56 pmIt also looks like the owl is holding out his arms and saying "nothing up my sleeves…."
Pat Says:
December 11th, 2012 at 8:14 pmL.B., look closely at the spine of the book.

FearofMusic Says:
December 15th, 2012 at 5:29 amThis pre-dates the pot smoking acid dropping hippie weirdos spray painting "Frodo Lives!" in the New York City subways. Apparently they are not to blame for all the horrific covets inflicted on the fantasy/sci-fi genre. Well, thats another bet. I've lost.

December 15th, 2012 at 5:31 amDamn the typos. I really need to get a new keyboard.

December 17th, 2012 at 8:16 amI love Fredric Brown, but surely the blurb promises a bit too much?

More good reading Thanks.
Bl - exactly what we are thinking. Strip contents down so we actually know where the heck everything is and put it where WE want it rather than previous owners.
The confidence issue is definately part of it. Yes people don't relax if they keep wondering if I'm going to sink us! Unfortunately only timefixes that.
Tjk1 - yes I think next to a good hot meal, the end of a long day must be on a comfortable matress. I have considered foam rolls to bulk up the existing padding but when not in use they take up too mch space. Will have to look at more options.
We definately need to refine our storage and organization. Priorities... And no excessve toilet paper! It tough to reorg though when you have nothing to compare to - thus this thread.
Thanks again for all the great info. Keep it coming!

Criminals may have stolen more than half a million credit card numbers
from merchant servers hosted by Networks Solutions, the Internet hosting
company warned Friday.
In a letter sent to merchants who use its Ecommerce Hosting services,
the company said that someone illegally installed software on company
servers used handle credit card transactions initiated by 573,928 people
between March 12 and June 8, 2009.
The code "may have been used to transfer data on certain transactions
for approximately 4,343 of our more than 10,000 merchant Websites
outside the company," Network Solutions said in the letter, signed by
company chairman and CEO Roy Dunbar and sent to merchants on Friday.
Consumers who were possibly affected by the intrusion are also being
notified by credit monitoring service TransUnion. They will get 12
months of free credit monitoring.

My hair sets the tone of the day for me - the sculpting foam ensures that my hair is easy to manage and gives me a a happy and confident feel for the day. My hair is not permed and is very fine but the foam produces a bounce which keeps my hair in place even in a moderate wind -it bounces back into place!
Really happy with this mousse..Gives hair lots of body and makes it really manageable.
This Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam is my first choice for product, price and speed of delivery. Thank you.
The Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam is an amazing Product.
Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam is a delicious smelling hair mousse that provides body and shine to my usually thin and flat hair. It is not sticky like a lot of mousse products I have tried, and does not make my hair greasy throughout the day. The volume and fragrance it gives my hair is just great and I have added this to my daily hair styling ritual. I recommend this product highly.
Paul Mitchell Extra Body Sculpting Foam actually works miracles! I Have fine, fly-away hair, and after applying Paul Mitchell Sculpting Foam I have a decent head of hair again.
Fantastic product, couldn't hope for better!
Best ever! it brings out the curly locks

White Crested Black Polish Chicken - Standard Large Fowl
Also known as: Poland, Polland, Crested Dutch, Paduans or Padoues.
Foreword: Please note that all care and raising practices in this document are the methods I have been using for years. They are successful for ME. Some, or all, may be successful for you. Each person has different experiences. Please keep that in mind when getting advice from breeders, chat forums, and social media groups. If someone insists that their way in the ONLY way, do yourself a favor, and move on to someone else for help.
Polish Chickens are not actually from Poland, they are from the Netherlands. Of the varieties of Polish, the White-crested Black Polish is the most popular. The color of their plumage is a rich glossy black throughout, with the exception of the crest, which is white. The shanks and toes are black, or dark slate; comb and wattles are bright red and earlobes are white. The feathers on the body & tail have a colorful oil sheen through out. They are very striking birds. It's hard not to stare. There are 2 size varieties; Standard (large fowl), and Bantam. Standard Polish cocks weigh 6 pounds, and hens weigh 4½ pounds. Bantam cocks weigh 30 ounces, and hens weigh 26 ounces.
My Polish are the RARE Standard (large fowl) size.
They also come bearded, or non-bearded. Mine are only non-bearded.
For a third twist, you can get them in frizzle, or smooth. Mine are all smooth.
These are just my own personal preferences, and will not be changing in the future.
My birds are out of the top lines in the country. They are free range in the summer, but locked in at night to protect them from predators. In the winter, they are kenneled indoors. It is extremely important to keep them in a very dry place during cold weather. If the crests become wet and freeze, it can be life threatening to them very quickly.
-Eggs are viable for 21 days, if they are stored properly. Of course, the longer you wait to incubate them, the lower the hatch rate.
-The eggs are a medium Bantam sized egg. They are slightly smaller than a grocery store chicken egg. They are bright white in color.
Incubating / Hatching
-If you purchased eggs, be sure to let them settle for several hours before putting them in the incubator.
-Make sure your incubator is clean. If it's dirty your embryos will get an infection.
-Humidity during Incubation can be between 30-50%.
-Humidity during hatching needs to go up to 70% or more.
I have found that spring, or distilled, water is best. Tap water can cause infections, and residue build up on the eggs. Though the residue is minimal, its enough to make it harder for those chicks.
-On day 18 stop turning the eggs. If they are in rails, set them down on the bottom of the incubator, or move them to your brooder, if you have one.
-Remember to raise the humidity. Try not to open the lid, if you can help it.
-The chicks can be moved to a dry brooder. I use glass fish tanks. I put rubber shelf liner, available in the kitchen department of any retail store, in the bottom of the tub. The rubber shelf liner prevents them from getting splayed legs. It is much easier for them to get their bearings, and learn to walk. The shelf liner can be replaced with bedding after 2 days.
A heat lamp is clamped on one end, but aimed at the other end. Lay a thermometer in the bottom, and check the temp at both ends. One end needs to be at 100 degrees Fahrenheit. The other end should be around 90 degrees, so they can move if they are getting too hot. Keep the food and water in the cooler end. The hot end is where they will want to sleep.
-After a week, I usually move mine to a child sized pool, with a heat lamp aimed at one spot.
-Side Note about lamps: If the chicks are picking on each other, use a red bulb instead of a clear bulb. And don't change the bulbs with your bare hands. The oils from your skin can get too hot on the surface of the bulb, and cause it to explode.
-The chicks can eat the adult food, and it does not need to be ground up. They do offer chick food, but I don't see any difference in the growth, and health, by feeding them the adult crumble.
-At 7 weeks some of your chicks will have red wattles and ceres. Those are usually your males. The females will get them too, but it will be a few more weeks.
-By 10-11 weeks old, the males will begin to get their "hair" feathers.
At around 14-15 weeks your roosters will begin crowing. They can start breeding anytime now. However, your hens will not start laying eggs until they are 6 - 6½ months old. They may still allow the males to breed them though. So don't be surprised if you see that, and still get no eggs.
-The young chickens may still have some white in their wings. They will not have their full adult coloring until they are sexually mature.
-The adults make a large variety of sounds. My daughter says she thinks they used these chickens to come up with the dinosaur sounds for Jurassic Park - LOL!
-Once a week I give them greens or other treats.
-They are fine in the cold, as long as they are dry. They do like to roost. Mine have some saw horses in their pen. I also have a heat lamp aimed at them, in case they do get cold.
Full grown the males will be about 6 pounds. The females will be about 4.5 pounds. The only purpose they really serve is ornamental/exhibition. They are a funny bird, mostly because they can't always see through their crest, so they get very animated when startled. Older hens lay nice sized
The crest of the cock is composed of narrow feathers, something like those which form the hackle of the neck and saddle. They should rise well in front so as not to obstruct the sight and fall over to the back and sides in a flowing, even mass. The comb is peculiar, and belongs to the class of combs which forms a fancied resemblance to a leaf, and are designated leaf combs. It is better described, however, as two fleshy horns diverging like the letter V, the upper extremities
retreating into the crest. The crest of the hen is formed of feathers growing upward and turning in at the extremities, and should be large and globular in form and compact in character, with no sight of parting. The larger the crest the better, provided it is of good shape. A crest of loose texture and falling in all directions, is an undesirable trait.
I have an even 50/50 split of male/ female in our flock. Although the males can handle up to 8 hens each, they do seem to prefer to pair off. Especially when they are free range. So far, I have not had any trouble with cocks fighting. Even while they're kenneled for the winter.
These birds can live 10-15 years with proper care. However, they typically only
breed up to 5 years. Mine are very tame, and are handled often. Even the ones I got as adults. My oldest Rooster follows me around like a dog. He's a total pest! So is one of my youngest hens - LOL!
Just don't startle them when you go to pick them up, and they are totally fine with human interaction.

Grumpy makes me happy
I had this jacket last year and this new version is great. I went with the black version, which I found to look more like a really dark charcoal in person. Not a true black. That said, I like the color a lot. If you want a slim fitting, moderately insulated jacket with loads of pockets and vintage style, this is it.
Size wise, I am 5'11", 160. I went with a L. I feel that I could have gone M, but I like my jackets slightly big rather than slightly small. Too bad Airblaster doesn't still make the size Extra Medium...

The Global Intelligence Files
On Monday February 27th, 2012, WikiLeaks began publishing The Global Intelligence Files, over five million e-mails from the Texas headquartered "global intelligence" company Stratfor. The e-mails date between July 2004 and late December 2011. They reveal the inner workings of a company that fronts as an intelligence publisher, but provides confidential intelligence services to large corporations, such as Bhopal's Dow Chemical Co., Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Raytheon and government agencies, including the US Department of Homeland Security, the US Marines and the US Defence Intelligence Agency. The emails show Stratfor's web of informers, pay-off structure, payment laundering techniques and psychological methods.
