In the guest blog below, Michele Lloyd-Puryear, Special Consultant to Genetic Alliance, discusses key findings from a patient-driven data collection effort intended to complement the Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) patient-focused drug development initiative which was part of the most recent reauthorization of the Prescription Drug User Fee Act.

Aging is a fact of life but the good news is that life expectancy continues to climb and more and more Americans are living fuller, richer lives thanks in large part to innovative medicines being developed by biopharmaceutical companies. As the baby boomer generation reaches retirement age, the demands on our health care system will continue to rise due to the increasing prevalence of chronic diseases affecting seniors.
A recent Roundtable in Washington D.C. underscored why, with the growing focus on value-based payment in health care, it's more important than ever to focus on the patient. We can't advance patient-centered care if we aren't measuring and incentivizing what matters to patients. We have begun to see this shift in the premarket arena via patient-focused drug development and in comparative effectiveness research at the Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute.
Over the last three years, I have had two c-sections – one for the birth of my 3-year old daughter and the other for the birth of my six-month old twins. Fortunately, I have good health insurance coverage through my employer and didn't have to pay a lot out of pocket for these necessary procedures. The more than $20,000 price tag for the single procedure was almost fully covered and I was happy that I could focus all of my attention on my newborn babies rather than figure out how I'm going to pay my bills.
The development of innovative, safe, and effective medicines for serious or life-threatening diseases represents an urgent and unique challenge that requires special attention.
For our nation's most vulnerable patients, access to necessary medicines to treat and even cure the diseases they are battling every day is critical. Improved patient health relies on the innovative treatments, and this week we focused on the importance of ensuring those medicines make it into the hands of patients in need.
Keeping the spirit of innovation alive in the oncology field is paramount to future scientific advances and finding cures. An essential element of innovation is collaboration. Relevant stakeholders coming together and pooling collective knowledge together can ignite the fire that becomes the next big thing to improve the lives of cancer patients.
PhRMA President and CEO John J. Castellani recently joined several patient organizations to raise concerns about patients' access to medicines in the new health insurance exchanges. They discussed findings from a new report by Avalere, commissioned by PhRMA, which shows that many patients, particularly those with chronic disease, are facing exorbitant out-of-pocket costs to access the prescription medicines they need to manage their conditions.
All patients should have access to the medicines they need to manage their diseases, enabling them to live fuller, healthier, more productive lives. Unfortunately, recently-released data paints a very troubling picture of patients' access to medicines in the new health insurance exchanges. Too often patients are being forced to pay exorbitant out-of-pocket costs for live-saving medicines that not only improve patients' health and quality of life, but help prevent unnecessary hospitalizations, ER visits, and costly medical procedures.
As you read this, 30 outstanding middle school students from across the nation are busy studying amino acids, chromatography, and other scientific concepts in preparation for the National You Be The Chemist Challenge®—the final stage of the Chemical Educational Foundation's® (CEF's) exciting academic contest for grade 5 – 8 students.
This morning at the National Press Club, PhRMA CEO John J. Castellani joined patient groups to release new research from Avalere Health.
For millions of cancer patients and many others suffering from a chronic disease, access to new innovative treatments is critical. As an industry, we strongly believe that all patients should have access to the medicines they need to live long and healthy lives. Equally important, as discussions around health care costs continue, we must ensure that patients remain at the center of everything we do.
If we want to have an honest discussion around cost, we must do so in a way that includes the entire spectrum of cancer care and not focused solely on the cost of cancer medicines.
A Look at What Is Coming Through the Pipeline for Cancer Research: A Q&A with Astellas' Josh Schafer
With the recent conclusion of ASCO, we sat down with Josh Schafer, Astellas' Vice President of Oncology Marketing Strategy, to get his perspective on the current state of affairs surrounding cancer research.

We thought this would be a great water heater, but when the plumber arrived to install it, he said it would be an additonal $250 for an electrician to install a separate electrical recepticle and an electrical city work permit. The overall cost of our water heater would have been over $1600.....
And that if the power went off, like happens from time to time in stormy season, we'd need to reset the water heater, and that when the electricity was out, we'd have no hot water even though we'd have a gas water heater.
We decided to return this promising water heater and purchased a conventional type instead...... We are green, but this was too many surprises.

With a 50 Gal capacity, we now get hot water whenever we need it, even when we have the washer going and showering as well. We do not have to manuually light pilot light since it has an electric ignition. 12 year limited warranty with a master protection agreement is also a plus.

This thing is louder than a leaf blower. Just awful. My house sounds like an industrial site. Would never have bought this model if I'd known this in advance. At least it heats water.

Well everything else I wrote just got erased. I guess I will go into the problems. The water was not holding the heat. We had placed the tempature at 120 & did not have enough Hot Water. Sears came by & said that in the Winter, the temp should be adjusted up to 140-150 degrees, which differs some the instruction in the booklet, but seems to work. The other problem that I have is that the HOT water in the shower does not seem to hold the temp. By that I mean that I start with a certain temp, & after a while I have to start making it hotter. That just should NOT happen on the top model that Sears sells. I am not a plumber, but I think the problem may be that the cold inlet may be to short allowing the cold water to start mixing with the hot. I WILL ALSO ADD THAT I CAN NOT UNDERSTAND FOR THE LIFE OF ME WHY ON 1 OF THE MOST EXPENSIVE MODELS THAT THE COLD WATER INLET IS NOT WHAT SEARS CALLS A ROTOSWIRL. THAT IS THAT THE COLD INLET GOES TO THE BOTTOM OF THE TANK (AWAY FROM THE HOT OUTLET& SI

Count on finishing every shower with cool water. The hot water heater works correctly and was installed per the manual. In operation, though, it doesn't regain heat in use quickly enough. It's exhausted in one shower. It has a fan which comes on when it's reheating. The hot water heater is located in the basement. While not particularly loud, it's loud enough to be annoying on the main floor when in operation. Besides the noise volume, the fan has a whine to it which is especially bad. This thing cost a lot of money, and when I can afford to, I'm going to replace it. It's unsatisfactory for lack of recovery and excessive noise.

The hotwater heater was picked up at my local Sears store after on-line purchase the same day. I installed it with a helper with three flexible ss hoses after a bit of cut and soldering and flue sealing. Plugged it in and...hot water! It took about an hour to install. Love the digital display with the ease of temp adjustment for vacations etc. But most of all I like knowing that I'll be saving money by saving gas with no standing pilot. The water heater being replaced was a Kenmore that lasted more than 25 years. After recovering from the cost of this new Hi Tech model, I hope to get 25+ years more.

I purchased this water heater and it has all the features and characteristics I wanted - 50 Gal, Energy Star, Natural Gas and 12 year warranty. It has an electric ignition, which I didn't care about. But, I assessed that all the Energy Star rated water heaters use the electric ignition to reduce the gas used as compared with the standard pilot light. I had to install an electrical outlet in the utility closet where the installation was done. Biggest issue with the overall experience was the installation. We live in Houston and the city requires permits, understandable! We had scheduling conflicts and technical debates in advance of the installation. Scheduling was a pain. The guarantee to install within 24 hours was a laugh. Besides the typical four hour window, which they missed, they offered to be at my house at 10:00 pm, really! Sears only has one installer in our half of the city. So they have no options to switch to a different installer. It then took a couple more days to get them out there. It turned into a 74 hour guarantee. The installation company's employees, while polite, made the process frustrating. I imagine that they run in to all kinds of challenges with replacing old equipment that is no longer up to code. For instance, they initially told me that this equipment needed to be installed in a space that was 10' X 10' square. Completely wrong. This required me to read the product manual and correct them on the specific install requirements. Ventilation can be handled various ways. The Sears installation fee of $229, which literally covers delivery, unpacking, connecting the three hoses (2 water and 1 gas) and plugging it in. Bringing the installation up to city code requirements and replacing older hoses cost another $700+ and took about an hour and half. Pretty good per hour rate for the plumber and he didn't even clean up after himself. Sears offered me a $50 gift card for the slow install. Yippee!
Hillsboro, OR

Easy installation to replace a 12-year old hydronic system. Be careful of vertical dimensions to get venting to fit. Note - the blower motor on the water heater is quite noisy (blower is on when the heater is on). Fortunately, the w/h is installed in the garage, so noisy blower isn't a problem. Also, the electronic control unit buzzes constantly. Again, it's in the garage, so doesn't matter, but if this is in your house, it could be a problem. Very pleased with how quickly it heats water, and digital thermostat makes it easy to set according to your needs. Owners manual does not say what the electrical draw is, which might be an issue if you are plugging this in to an existing circuit (yes, you need an electrical outlet even for a gas w/h.)
Bethpage, NY
via sears.com
Yes, as the other reviewer mentioned it does need to be connected to a standard 110VAC 15amp electrical outlet. It comes with a standard plug like 99% of the electrical items in the household. I suspect it uses less than 1 amp when the fan is running, because the fan is fairly quiet. It's not a whisper fan, so it does make some noise - but the noise is quiet enough that it shouldn't bother anyone. For those of us who are concerned about frequent power outages, a small generator should keep this running along with the household refrigerator. But it holds 50 gallons of hot water, set to the temperature that you select. So you can probably do a lot of hot-water things around the house before you run out of heated water. The label says the recovery time on this unit is 42.6 gallons per hour, so in theory if you started with no hot water you'd have a full tank of hot water in a bit over an hour - that's pretty quick. It's a 40,000 BTU/hour natural gas input, which was the same as the one we replaced - so we had no plumbing changes to make. We also had an electrical outlet nearby, so we didn't have any electrician charges during installation. Our unit was installed about 5 months ago, and it's still working just fine.

Know Where a Wine Really Comes From
by Jim Gordon
The mantra of real estate buyers everywhere -- "location, location, location" -- is almost as important for wine buyers. While certain foods and beverages carry a general notation of their origin, like Idaho potatoes and Sumatra coffee, wine can narrow the notion down to the precise plot of land where the grapes grew.
Governments in virtually all winemaking countries have made it illegal to cheat consumers by putting misleading information about a wine's origin on a label. They needed to, because a minority of dishonest winemakers is constantly tempted to make more money by tricking the consumer. They make a wine from inexpensive grapes grown in a low-quality growing region, then pass it off as something pedigreed and expensive.
Most wine producers are honest, of course, but it's still important to know what you're buying. Look carefully at the wine label to learn at least the minimum. The front label of most U.S. wines usually carries the name of the grape variety along with an appellation (place name), which refers to the legally defined American Viticulture Area (AVA) in which the grapes were grown. In general, the more specific the appellation, the better you can expect the wine to be.
Here's what the most common terms on American-made wines mean:
California: If a wine label says "California" on the front it means the grapes could have been grown anywhere up and down this gigantic state. In effect it often indicates that a high percentage of the wine comes from cheaper Central Valley grapes that make less concentrated, less interesting wines.
Coastal: Be careful with this increasingly popular term. Many of the wines are great values, but "Coastal" is not an AVA and doesn't mean a thing, legally.
Counties, valleys: Specific terms such as Napa Valley, Sonoma County and Willamette Valley are almost always a good sign. They mean that at least 85 percent of the wine was made from grapes grown there.
Towns, districts: If you see a town name like Oakville or a district name like Carneros it means even more specialization, better odds for high quality and an inevitably higher price.
Vineyard designations: The individual property where the grapes came from, like Sangiacomo Vineyard or Bien Nacido Vineyard, is the finest geographical distinction a winery can put on a bottle. This is usually a good sign of quality and a chance to experience what the French call terroir, the taste of a place.
Estate bottled: Another good sign of quality. It means that the wine was made from grapes grown in vineyards owned (or leased for the long term) by the winery itself, not grown by an independent farmer or another winery.
Produced and bottled by: This is one of the best phrases to see in fine print on a label. It means that the winery itself actually crushed the grapes, fermented the juice and put the wine into bottles. The only thing better in this regard is "grown, produced and bottled by," which is basically the same as estate bottled. Other phrases, such as "vinted and bottled by" and "cellared and bottled by" can mean the winery bought the wine from another vintner, maybe blended it and aged it a bit -- maybe not -- then bottled it.
Informative and I agree with Devi, every regular user has his own choice. Good Share
Very informative. I believe that regular users of wine has their choices and are well aware of the brand and quality they use. Thanks for sharing.
There are hits and misses in both the aspects of this debate, bust as Makarand said I too believe that taking each day as it comes gives you freedom of thought and innovation. Though I do not completely disagree with the opposition, but still strongly... |

The Complete Borrowers
Mary Norton
The Complete Borrowers
Mary Norton
This is a complete collection of the classic Borrowers stories by Mary Norton. The Borrowers : The Borrowers own nothing at all; they live in the secret places of quiet old houses - behind the mantelpiece, inside the harpsichord, under the kitchen clock. Everything they have is borrowed from the 'human beans', who don't even know they exist. Arrietty's father, Pod, is an expert Borrower - he can scale curtains using a hatpin and bring back a doll's teacup without breaking it. Girls aren't supposed to go borrowing but as Arrietty is an only child her father breaks the rule. But then Arrietty makes friends with a boy - a 'human bean' - and from that moment danger is never far away for, above all else, they must avoid the great disaster of 'being seen'. The Borrowers Afield : The Pod family escape to the fields where their cousins live, but it's a long and dangerous journey. At last they find a new home and adapt to country life. The Borrowers Afloat : Homeless again, Arrietty looks forward to a life away from the dark country cottage, to one full of sunshine. The Borrowers Aloft : The family are now living in the model village of Little Fordham - a complete village tailored to their size. All they have to do is avoid being seen by the visitors, but one night the owner of a rival village comes with a cardboard box ready to catch them… The Borrowers Avenged : Pod, Homily and Arrietty have managed to escape with the help of Spiller. They move into the old rectory where they live happily until the Potters come looking for them. After a horrifying encounter in the church, the Potters get their just desserts and the Borrowers can live peacefully once and for all. Poor Stainless: Young Stainless, a Borrower boy, goes missing on a mission to borrow some parsley and an enormous search ensues. Mary Norton was born in 1903 and brought up in a house in Bedfordshire, which was to become the setting for The Borrowers . First published in 1952, The Borrowers was an imediate success, winning the Library Association's Carnegie Medal. There followed four more Borrowers books: The Borrowers Afield (1955), The Borrowers Afloat (1959), The Borrowers Aloft (1961) and The Borrowers Avenged (1982). Poor Stainless was the last Borrowers story Mary Norton wrote. She died in 1992.

Mercredi 9 mai
I'm talking to a guy here and it soon became apparent that share similar interests. We had some good conversations, there were some adult chat around to call my place, has some mild bondage spanking. The call is not the hand, as such, with the feet on the ground and I knew it was a waste of time, have determined that determine the real folk music given a little effort, what is offered and is expected to the media, and that's exactly how he met. The call here on a Wednesday afternoon and, as previously agreed that was half black. He was very direct and almost immediately suggested they climb the stairs. We went and had a string and stockings in bed on the left, also a G clamp and a new leather belt, as previously agreed. I'm in bed and put me in my stomach and to be fair he was not particularly nervous, I was more embarrassed than anything else. He mrsnake wears socks and tied my wrists behind her back then attached to the terminal G in the middle of the bed HeadboaRD and with a rope at the mrsnake wrists and shackled to the terminal, effectively taking the wrists to the headboard, ass, etc. Then a piece of string attached to each ankle and asked, ' How wide is convenient for you, ' citing as wide a tying the legs. I said, ' But do you think is right, 'he said,' I think anyone who can get, and then maybe gagged, so quiet, 'he said,' Yes, I think so, ' he threw. strings at each corner of the mattress and pulls close and open her legs, ankles up were subject to bedposts, and then said mrsnake : ' gag, but first I want to do to win,' he said, ' Please punish me as you see fit 'with which stockings wrapped around my face and pulled down a little over his head. Had the majority agreed that before this visit. Over the next 30 minutes took the tape and made me lose more than I expected, took some photos and video over this, I'll post some pictures when you reach thea. I was down the zipper heard and heard him masturbating, then, as his cum in my ass lost mrsnake the fire, then broke the ankles and wrists mrsnake and told him to be in contact, I hope that more visitors.

The world's first 3D printed gun has come and gone. It fired a shot, but was made of plastic and broke down very quickly. Further revisions of the gun had it last a little longer but the weapons weren't permanent, and thus unreliable.

Opinion: Censorship of the media limits chances for better government in the Middle East.
DEAD SEA, Jordan — Arab media bosses face a host of problems. Of course, that's also true of Western media executives. But most of the problems the Arab news media face stem from the retarded development of their social institutions and the authoritarian nature of their governments.
On the one hand, Western news media are bleeding to death, losing money at an alarming rate and desperately looking for new business models that will allow them to make a profit. On the other hand, Arab media executives participating here in the annual World Economic Forum on the Middle East point out that most of the Arab media do not even try to make money. They are bankrolled by governments or political parties and exist to make propaganda, not profits.
Nakhle El Hage, director of Al Arabiya News, said that although there are more than 400 Arab television channels, only 10 of them (his included) have a sizable audience. The rest are mainly mouthpieces for their political sponsors. He claimed that Iran (a non-Arab country) spends more than $200 million a year on several Arab TV stations to promote its point of view throughout the Middle East. He failed to mention that Al Arabiya and a number of other Arab broadcast and print organizations are financed by the Saudis, who have an even larger influence on the Arab media. (Arab media bosses at the meeting did not want to bite the hand that feeds them.)
Other points made by the media executives:
There was a whiff of hope at the media round table that the old system of censorship and government control will break down in the Arab world because the new social networking sites are stealing the youth audience from traditional media. Saudi children (like their Western counterparts) spend more time on Facebook and MySpace than watching TV. The hope is that the Internet will encourage the feedback and grassroots input that the official Arab media lack.
But a former minister of information for the Jordanian government warned it will take a generation for really independent and responsible Arab news media to become the norm.
Most of the working journalists I spoke with here (as opposed to the media bosses) complained privately about government restrictions. An Egyptian editor for an Arab business magazine told me he risks imprisonment if he reports facts that contradict the government line. He added, "If I steal a document that backs my story, I could be jailed for that as well."
Journalists based in Dubai, which has gone from boom to bust in the current recession, said that new government media restrictions will impose draconian fines for reporting "misleading news that harms the national economy." The recession has been a blow for press freedom in the Middle East.
The reality is that Arab journalists still find it safer to criticize Israel than the incompetence or corruption of their own governments. And until heavy handed government restrictions are eased, chances for better government in the Middle East remain dim.

The Costanera Center in Santiago, Chile which will include the tallest building in South America has been on the boards for some time, and an opening date of 2012 has finally been announced! Located in the Providencia region of the country's capital, the mixed-use development will include four buildings of varying height surrounding a mall. One of those buildings will reach 300 meters, which will make it the tallest building in South America. The whole complex is aiming for LEED Gold certification, and will utilize various sustainable design strategies.
The slow economy put a halt to the construction progress, which started in 2008, for the mixed-use commercial development. With financing now under control, a press release from Cencosud, the developer, says the mall will open in November 2011 and the rest of the towers, including the tallest, Torre Costanera, will open by November 2012. Originally designed by Pelli Clarke Pelli, the development is now under the control of Alemparte & Barreda Architects. The Center will include a shopping mall with restaurants and a cinema, two hotels, two shopping markets and office space.
Aiming for LEED Gold certification for the entire complex, the extensive sustainable design strategies include a green roof over the entire mall complex, the use of recycled steel, energy efficient design, and use of water from the nearby canal to provide cooling for the complex. The water will also be processed and returned back into the canal clean or maybe even cleaner. During construction, the project is expected to control dust and gas emissions as well as monitor noise pollution.

It says nothing about the terrible impact that this project will have on the vehicle circulation, already saturated in the area. With daily traffic jams now lasting for hours around the (still in construction)complex, the opening will make it at least 30% worse. The main investor, Horst Paulmann, known for his greediness, refused to pay for the minimum necessary congestion mitigation works, blaming the past and present governments for the soon-will-come collapse. Several organizations are calling a Boiccot to this man.

It is 100 days to go before the 2010 Formula One season kicks off in Bahrain. The 2010 season countdown begins. Let's have a look where F1 stands with 100 days to go:
As of today there are thirteen teams with confirmed entries – the 2010 grid is full again. The final place on the grid was given to post BMW era Sauber today by FIA.
The FIA has written to inform BMW Sauber AG that their application for an entry in the 2010 FIA Formula One World Championship has been successful. Subject to their signing the Concorde Agreement, BMW Sauber will be awarded the 13th entry in the Championship, taking the place of the departing Toyota team.
The FIA has worked closely with the Commercial Rights Holder and the teams involved over recent weeks and is grateful for their support in achieving the best outcome for the sport.
An updated Formula One entry list will be published in due course.
Renault is to make decision on their F1 future before the end of 2010. There are reports all over the web coming from reputable sources that as early as today a sale of Renault F1 team to David Richards' Prodrive may be announced.
The 2010 grid will be very different from the 2009 one. Gone will be Brawn GP will turn into Mercedes GP, BMW Sauber to Ferrari powered Sauber, Toyota will disappear entirely and Cosworth will replace Toyota power in Williams cars. There will also be change at Toro Rosso. After years of using Red Bull built chassis the team will turn into proper constructor from next season and build their own car in Faenza factory. USF1, Manor (Virgin Racing), Campos META and Lotus (all Cosworth powered) will join the established teams on the 2010 grid.
At this moment Jenson Button, Lewis Hamilton (McLaren), Nico Rosberg (Mercedes), Felipe Massa, Fernando Alonso (Ferrari), Robert Kubica (Renault ?), Rubens Barrichello, Nico Hulkenberg (Williams), Mark Webber, Sebastian Vettel (Red Bull), Sebastian Buemi (Toro Rosso), Vitantonio Liuzzi , Adrian Sutil (Force India), Bruno Senna (Campos META) and Timo Glock (Manor Virgin) have been officially confirmed by their teams. There are still 10 vacant seats available (if we count Sauber and that one seat in USF1 conditionally given to Jose Maria Lopez). None of them will probably go to Kimi Raikkonen who following the breakdown of talks with McLaren decided to take a year off F1 and is expected to race in WRC in Red Bull backed Citroen junior team next year.
We are yet to see the final version of 2010 Formula One calendar. As it stands today, with 100 days to go, the season will start on March 14, 2010 in Bahrain and finish 6 months later, on November 14, 2010 in Brazil. Canadian GP will return after one year absence (June 13) but there are still question marks over British and Korean GP. So we still don't know if the 2010 season will have 17, 18 or 19 races …
The 2010 season countdown will return in 10 days time.

I am trying to view my Foscam IP Camera from an external browser. I have an airport base station recieving the Comcast signal and the IP camera is transmitting wirelessly to the network. I have set up port forwarding and I've also set up a Dyn DNS account/zone to connect remotely to the camera's static IP address.
I was advised by Dyn DNS that the airport needs to be in bridge mode in order to allow remote access to the IP camera via web browser BUT when I switch my airport base station to bridge mode, I lose my internet connection completely. Is there anyway to prevent that?
Ultimately I'd like to maintain my wireless internet connection at home while being able to view my wireless camera when I'm not at home. Will I need a router? Does anyone have any clue as to how to make this happen?
There is a sticky at the top of this board named Port Forwarding primer that might help.
Need to gather some info:
The private IP address of the Camera For Example 192.168.1.105
The Public ip adress that comcast provides to your router For Example 220.127.116.11
The Port you want to use Such as 5555 or whatever the camera Mfr suggests.
Then log into the Router and navigate to the Port Forwarding tab.
Forward the private IP address on Port 5555
Then go remote and browse to http:\\184.108.40.206:5555
That should do it.
Easier thing is buy Dlink cameras and set up your account on the Dlink website
Then your dlink Camera links to the website and when you log in to your account on the website, the video is there Password protected.

For my conclusion in a series of articles asking MOBA games: why so serious?, I signed up to attend the 'How to DOTA tournament' event at the Virgin Media Game Space in London led by veteran video game critic Cara Ellison.
I began this series by asking the gaming community to tell us about their first experiences of playing MOBA games and share their thoughts about why they're taken so seriously by the average player. Looking at how much prize money is awarded to the champions of professional leagues, it's clear why the competition is so fierce but I wanted to know what exactly makes these games induce so much anger in just the public matches.
Until the Dota 2 workshop I'd never played a MOBA, although I had a good understanding about what's involved and the core gameplay mechanics. The event was designed to help new players understand the basics of the free-to-play game and the six other gamers who joined me were a mixture of those that had never played before and some with a bit of experience. Ellison began the workshop by presenting us with her beautiful drawing of the game's map which, although comical, did the job perfectly.
Before getting stuck into Dota 2 we were treated to an entertaining presentation, opening with the best piece of advice new players should remember: accept that you are a failure. With that guidance firmly etched into our minds Ellison moved on to explain that the game is extremely complicated and learning comes from dying a lot, but overall it's a crazy amount of fun. An important point that was made is to communicate constantly with your team; this is just as important when picking your heroes as it is when playing. The best experiences come from playing with friends even if you're losing, which is an important point in understanding why rage is so rife in public matches.
My first match with human players then took place, when we teamed up against the bots to help us get used to the game before playing against each other. It's been a while since I've enjoyed an online multiplayer so much and all the other players were good sports even though I was getting killed repeatedly by the same guy. I was able to learn the mechanics much quicker with other gamers in the same room than I ever could with the tutorial.
For the rest of the day we continued to play against each other in teams to try out the different heroes and learn the extensive tactics that make up Dota 2's gameplay. It wasn't long before I began to feel confidence in going home to play online, something I wasn't able to do when I first downloaded the game and which prompted me to start this series of articles.
We've heard from two MOBA gamers and posted their stories in the form of profiles, both demonstrating the importance of being taught how to play in a one-to-one fashion. League of Legends player Pacific Kyrie told of her experience playing matches with her boyfriend, and finding her motivation to play better after receiving unpleasant remarks from him whenever their team were losing. She then went onto becoming a member of a all-girl professional sponsored team playing in the Garena Premier League.
Dota 2 player Exi was also taught how to play with a friend's guidance which seems to be a common trend emerging in my discussions with MOBA players. After my day at the workshop I was eager to get home and start online; I already had an idea about which heroes to play as and amazingly my first four matches ended in a wins.
So why do gamers take MOBAs so seriously? It's all about who you are playing with: those who have a solid group of friends playing together will get an awesome experience, it doesn't matter if you're winning or losing. I've had a fun time winning online but after dying repeatedly and having to wait seventy-five seconds to get back in game I can see why it can get more than annoying. The exception is when playing together as a team in a competition, where anger and abuse is often the norm and an accepted way of demoralising your opponent.
A massive thank you to the Virgin Media Game Space and Cara Ellison for providing an awesome day playing and learning Dota 2. I probably would never have gone back to it otherwise.

The singer, model and lady of the Elysee Palace told Canal Plus' "Grand Journal" news program, "He asked me to be in his next film. I don't know for what role, but I said yes!"
Last June, on a publicity tour in France for Whatever Works, Allen talked about Bruni-Sarkozy's charisma saying he thought she would be wonderful on the big screen.
Agence France Presse reports that Bruni-Sarkozy went on to tell the "Grand Journal," "I do everything a little blindly; otherwise, I wouldn't do anything. I'm not an actress at all. Maybe I'll be totally horrible but I can't in my life miss an opportunity like this. When I'm a grandmother, I'll want to have done a film with Woody Allen."
Allen is currently in post-production on You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger. His next project has not yet been announced, but he has previously expressed interest in shooting in France.
A project he had lined up a few years ago ultimately fell to the wayside because shooting conditions would have proved too expensive in France.
The country now has a tax rebate scheme in place that is designed to benefit foreign productions and with the First Lady on board, it's likely the local powers-that-be would give Allen a greenlight in a New York minute.

Keys To Hiring Great Office Staff
Taking candidates out of the interview setting "catches them off guard" and to that end, Ms. Homisak suggests taking potential employees out to lunch and observing them in a more relaxed environment.
"Pay attention to how they are treating service people and their impromptu reactions," notes Ms. Homisak. "Do they smile a lot? Do they ask for things politely and look at people when they speak to them? The body language and behavior always trump their premeditated words."
Dr. Sanders also schedules informal interview lunches for potential employees in the final stages of the hiring process.During both the formal and informal interview, Dr. Sanders screens for candidates with enthusiasm, inquisitiveness, a positive outlook and a willingness to go above and beyond normal duties.
Why Your Current Staff Should Get A Say In Hiring
It is important to decide whether your current staff will have a place in the hiring process and how you will implement this. As these experts note, incorporating the staff in the interview process and taking their opinions into consideration is significant to foster an efficient office environment.
Dr. Sanders says her entire staff will attend the informal lunch to determine whether the candidate is a good match.
"I feel strongly that if I am going to have an existing employee train and/or work closely with a new employee, then he or she should have a say in the hiring process as well," explains Dr. Sanders, who requires her staff to "sign off on a potential hire" before choosing the candidate.
Dr. Werber agrees that incorporating your staff is an important step when hiring any new employee. He has implemented a "trial hire" period in order to observe how the applicant will work in the office and with other members of his staff.
"In the last two years, I have had every one (of my staff members) participate in the interview and then we have a trial hire of the final two candidates, each working two to three hours," explains Dr. Werber. "We do not put them on payroll. We pay them a nominal $12 per hour for their time."
Ms. Homisak warns against hiring anyone that the staff has not met. The other members of your staff also will need to work with the new employee so you should consider their opinions as well, notes Ms. Homisak.
"Once the applicants have been narrowed down to the best one or two candidates, have the staff sit with them in the office or over lunch to get to meet each one," says Ms. Homisak. "Based on their feedback, either hire or don't hire."
What You Can And Cannot Ask The Candidate
While conducting an interview, it is important to know not only what you should ask but also what you are permitted to ask from a legal standpoint. Although the questions you ask during the interview can give you insight into a person's work ethic and personality, Dr. DeHeer notes it is important to avoid personal questions.
Employers should avoid any direct questions regarding age, race, national origin, gender, religion, marital status and sexual orientation, explains Dr. Sanders. She will ask job-related questions to determine "how a candidate would respond to a given situation in addition to confirming that the skills and experience listed on their resume accurately reflect their capabilities."
Dr. Werber will also ask his candidates job-specific questions that avoid any political and personal areas. He says questions that do not require a simple yes or no answer will allow your candidate to form more objective and thoughtful responses. For example, Dr. Werber might ask the following questions.
• Where do you see yourself in five years?
• Tell me about your best boss. Tell me about your worst boss.
• What happens when you are criticized?
• What was your biggest mistake and what did you learn from it?
• What would be the worst job you can imagine? What would be your best job?
• Tell me about sterile technique.

The Goucher College men's soccer team is off to a strong start again this year with the help of Ethan DeBandi. The Gophers are currently 5-2, partially due to DeBandi's
goalkeeping skills. The sophomore saved five goals in the team's second game, leading to a 4-0 shutout after a 2-0 shutout in the season opener. They are having the most successful season since 2009.

The Wallstreet Journal recently published an articled entitled "Competing for College Scholarships on the Field and Online". There were six (6) facts if you are a parent with an athlete desiring to earn a college basketball scholarship to college, will want to take notice of. They are outlined below.
- The probability of playing varsity sports in college is low. According to Scholarshipstats.com athletes have a 6% chance of playing varsity sports in college in general. For basketball, the probability drops to less than 1%. There are a lot of athletes competing for a few spots.
- Tuition for 4 year private colleges has exceeded $250,000. This is leading to parents encouraging their children to compete for college scholarships. They are also willing to invest large amounts of money to help their kids obtain athletic scholarships. Athletics on college applications assist students in being accepted into competitive schools.
- Parents are investing heavily in an effort assist their kids in obtaining athletic scholarships. Parents are sending their kids to camps, hiring specialty coaches, and videographers. As mentioned in the article a parent spent close to $4,000 to help place their athlete in a better position for obtaining a college athletic scholarship.
- Unless an athlete is one of the top 100 prospects in the country, they will need assistance with recruiting. If your athlete is one of the Top 100 prospects, college coaches will find them. If not they will need to be proactive is letting the coaches know they exist and are interested in their school.
- Put together a Plan. Planning is very important. With competition for earning a college basketball scholarship being stiff, athletes need to develop a strategy that will make sure, they are prepared to play at the college level, and to get the interest of coaches. The process should begin as Freshmen in high school.
- Don't rely on club or high school coaches to assist with obtaining college athletic scholarships. Many club coaches and high school coaches lack the college network required to get scholarship offers. According to the article, club coaches and high school coaches may have a few connections, but many times that is not enough. There are services that athletes can use to express interest to coaches, and begin the recruiting process. One such service is Berecruited. They give the athlete the ability to create a free online profile and resume, along with research, and notify coaches of the athletes interest in the program.
Remember competition is stiff, but if a plan is put together, and preparation begins before the athlete enters high school, they may find themselves having the opportunity to earn money for school. Do not make the mistake and wait, or think the club coach has the network to get an athlete noticed. Take action.

Last spring, some of the soil in my community was in danger of eroding because of the heavy rain we had experienced. City officials were worried, because the area had been so overdeveloped. Condos and apartments had taken over, and the vegetation had been stripped in many areas.
To prevent erosion, the city began planting creeping groundcover. These plants spread like a virus and populated the area with greenery and blossoms.
They used creeping phlox and Irish moss, along with a fast-growing grass. The phlox was covered in little pink flowers for a few weeks, and the Irish moss was a mass of green leaves and white blossoms.
In addition to holding down the soil, the plants did a lot to beautify the region. I was glad that the city decided to plant them.

Kaufman Associate Professor of Chemistry has written an article updating an idea of hers and the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology: the HOPES Initiative. HOPES pairs teachers with working scientists so that together they could provide hands-on opportunities to students. "We didn't anticipate the sweeping impact the program would have across the nation," wrote Stevens-Truss in the update. The HOPES initiative has resulted in 27 partnerships in 22 cities across the U.S. and has affected the education of more than 3,600 fourth- through 12th-graders. An article ("Full-Contact Science," by Margaret DeRitter) on one of the partnerships appeared in the May 2013 issue of BeLight Magazine.

If you are looking for a sleeve for your Macbook Air 2010 / 2011, you might want to check out the stunning sleeve from Joli. It retails for 77 Euros and you can get it in quite a lot of amazing color combinations.
All Joli products are handmade in Holland and they all look great. It has all leather exterior that gives it a professional look. This makes it perfect for taking into meetings. The leather is of really high quality and at this price, I expect nothing less. My friend has one too and he spilled coffee on it. He immediately wiped it with his cotton napkin and it was still looking new.
- If you want to use the Macbook Air with case on, you might want to check out Incipio Feather for Macbook Air.
In fact, it is the nicest sleeve I have ever owned for any of my notebooks. Do I recommend it? Yes, in a heartbeat. Really amazing quality. While you can ship it in US, you will have to pay an additional 3 dollars for international shipping (totals to ~120 dollars).
Update – Folks at Joli just emailed to tell me that it costs 77 Euros including shipping to US which is ~110 USD. [link to their site]

I've had the good fortune to travel all over Kentucky and capture
events and protest with my camera and camcorder. I've shot videos and
photos of Barack Obama, Michelle Obama, Bill Clinton, Hillary Clinton
and many other dignitaries, but shooting photos and video of regular
folks exercising their rights to protest is what I like doing best.
It's grassroots folks like these that change our country for the
better. They protest in the cold, the Ohio Valley sweltering heat and
in the rain knowing full well that what they are doing may never be
seen by many others or covered by the media. They do it because they
believe in what they are doing, not for fame or financial gain. They do
it because they want to make our country a better place for their
children, grand children, spouses and for you and me. I love being
around these folks for all kinds of reasons, but the main reason is
they reinforce my belief in humanity. It's for that reason I've made this feeble attempt to recognize them with this video.

Awesome month of great entertainment and near heart attacks!
From congratulating AB de Villiers on his recent marriage, the glittering Pepsi IPL opening ceremony in Kolkata, another green award (IAA Silver Award) for RCB to new external partners, last ball encounters, super overs and world records. What more can you ask for from your favourite franchise and cricket team in the world? RCB rocks!
Congratulations to Virat Kohli and our squad for providing superb performances and great memories on the field for us to enjoy thus far. Don't forget the support staff too who work extremely hard in the background.
Chris Gayle has been special and an absolute legend. Only one man (in my opinion) can beat his world record of 175* off 66 balls and that is Chris Gayle himself. I've no doubt though that AB and Virat have what it takes to do the same.
We welcomed KL Rahul to our squad for 2013 as a late replacement for S. Aravind (injured). We also extend a warm welcome to 7Up, Axe, Flying Machine as new key partners that has exposure on our player jersey among many other benefits and entitlements. Washington Apples, TK Sports, Figureactive are new licensing partners of RCB this year too. These wonderful brands will add even more game for life to our internal partners like Kingfisher, White Mischief, Royal Challenge, McDowell's No1 and Mallya Hospital.
In order to maintain our level of quality and expertise we also draw upon the services from event management specialists DNA Networks (That's Entertainment), Manipal Hospital as our stadium medical associate and Ticketgenie our ticketing partner. Our digitization of the stadium is a first of its kind and has made a dynamic impact on all that have had the opportunity to witness a home match. The LED boards, banners, flags, cheerleaders etc add to the electric atmosphere and experience of great match entertainment. Throw in your shouts, screams, cheers and applause and you have an explosive 3 hours of awesome T20 lifestyle at its best.
Our affordable tickets available online at www.royalchallengers.com and/or www.liveinstyle.com were well received. The stadiums were packed even though D Corporate (for Corporate Clients) and N Stand (The RCB Fan stand) could do better. So to help you…we are offering a 30% discount on these stands for the 4pm match on 14 May 2013 against KXIP. This is also going to be our green game. Our final group home match is on 18 May is against CSK and because of our new Print On Demand ticketing system, these tickets are already almost sold out. Please secure your match tickets at the earliest to avoid disappointment.
Our new all year round lifestyle fan merchandise range for 2013 is available in all stands at the stadium but also at our very own special UB City kiosk on level 2. It will soon be available online and is extremely affordable. Reebok (our apparel partner) stores across the country have our authentic replica jersey in stock and ready for you in all sizes (including little kids).
I've no doubt you have been watching our website and the press on a daily basis. You will have seen great interest in our bloggers reporting, the RCB Diva's content, Sketchstar Mahesh at his best covering the impact player match by match and of course the video blogging of our behind the scenes footage like players in the dressing room, at the airport, in the team bus and the hotel celebrations etc. Our official photographer Jim Rydell and videographer Kalveer never seem to sleep.We admire their professionalism and I'm sure you'll agree and join me in saying thanks to these two gentlemen for the awesome job they doing by providing us all with quality footage to enjoy and help us get even closer to our team. Don't be shy to tell us what you'd like to see or hear about.
Lights, Camera…ACTION! Make sure you don't miss out on the RCB Pulse during the month of May. So much more excitement in the offering, so keep supporting RCB and be proud. We look forward to interacting and engaging with you.
