2008 Latino Heritage Unsung Heroes
Fernando Castillo
El Grupo
Fernando Castillo was born in Mexico and arrived to the USA in 1972. After attending culinary institute, and upon graduation, he worked as a chef for two very prestigious restaurants under the direction of top chefs. He became involved as a community leader and activist to help people that were suffering from the AIDS epidemic.
In 1986 Castillo started caring for seven of his roommates who all were diagnosed with AIDS. He transformed his home into an AIDS hospice. Subsisting on savings, he looked after his housemates, accompanying them to doctor's appointments, doing their laundry, and even preparing individualized meals. Castillo tenderly nursed every one of those men until, one by one, he lost them to AIDS.
Passionately dedicated to his cause, Castillo was instrumental in the founding of El Grupo, a branch of the San Francisco AIDS Foundation focused on providing services and support to people suffering from HIV and AIDS within the Latin-American community. For the last twenty years, El Grupo has served as the model for AIDS support groups both in the United States and all over the world.
In the early 1990s, Castillo became involved with Project Open Hand, a San Francisco organization that provides meals to people with HIV and AIDS. It was here that he selflessly volunteered his culinary experience and compassion to support the organizations endeavors, until he himself was diagnosed with HIV.
In his own battle with HIV, Castilllo survived a brain tumor five years ago. He continues to devote himself to his friends and his community, offering support, hope and love to those in need and, in turn, inspires others to serve the needs of those who need it most.

Novato Public Access Television
Dario D'Arrigo works tirelessly on his television program "Encuentro Latino," the first all-Spanish language television program produced in Marin County, airing on Novato Public Access Channel 26.
Born in Lima, Peru, D'Arrigo came to this country in 2000, He has 8 brothers and sisters. In 1960, his father, Adrian D'Arrigo Nieto, worked with several unions in Peru including the fishermen, miners and others. Upon his arrival in the USA, D'Arrigo went to Dallas, where he saw the way undocumented immigrants were mistreated and he realized that he needed to do something about it.
In 2001, D'Arrigo came to Marin County and he worked as a clerk at a local market. In his free time he volunteered in Radio Canal coordinating the news and acting as host with Felipe Tapia of Radio Maya. In 2003, he worked as a Teen Center Supervisor with Canal Community Alliance until the middle of 2004, and the idea of creating a Spanish language TV program came to life. In October 2003, he participated in a march for immigrant rights that started on the west coast and ended in Washington, DC and New York, where thousands from all over the USA joined forces.
The first Encuentro Latino TV program aired on Novato Public Access Channel 26 on August, 2005. In 2006, Flor Campos-Emert joined Encuentro Latino as host and co-producer working on new programs that covered immigration, education, health, energy savings, and other important topics for the Hispanic community.
That same year, Dario trained a group of 12 and developed a short film entitled "Walking in the Shadows" and a commercial for Subaru that were part of the Latino Film Festival with the Youth in Video program. The short film "Arrested Dreams" based on real life experiences of ICE raids victims was part of the 2007 Latino Film Festival, also directed and produced by Dario D'Arrigo. In December, 2007, Dario received an award from the Hispanic Chamber of Commerce of Marin in recognition of his contributions to the community. The new Encuentro Latino programs have a bilingual format to expand the audience.

Weekend Reading: "Millennials," Samsung Galaxy S4, and mobile shopping
From New York to Toronto – we've got your biggest stories this week including more on "millennials", news on the Samsung Galaxy S4 and a look at mobile shopping habits – can you guess who's leading the pack with online purchases? Find out in this week's edition of Weekend Reading.
What "Millennials" really want from work
In last week's Weekend Reading we told you about "millennials," those in the 18-34 demographic who value their smartphones over their cars. This week, millennials are in the media again, this time for their work values.
According to Business 2 Community, the average millennial checks their device 34 times a day, which says a lot about this age group and how they are re-defining what is valued in the workplace. For instance, 45% of those surveyed said they would take lower paying jobs in exchange for more mobility, BYOD (bring your own device) options, and social media privileges.
Being a "millennial" myself I can relate to lot of what's being said in the article. Smartphones are personal and unique, and I absolutely value being able to use the device(s) I'm most comfortable with at work. That said though, I'm not sure if I'd be willing to sacrifice my wallet for my phone, as would half of those surveyed by Cisco.
Check out the full article for more on what motivates this generation and how to work with their tech needs. How often do you check your device during the day? Or would you take a lower paying job in exchange for more mobility?
Samsung Galaxy S4
After much suspense, the new Samsung Galaxy S4 was "unpacked" last night in NYC.
The Samsung Galaxy S4 will include features like Smart Pause, an eye-tracking technology that automatically pauses a video when you look away from the screen, and Sound & Shot, which adds sound to the pictures you capture.
Check out all the great features on the Samsung microsite here, watch the unveiling on the Samsung YouTube Channel and stay tuned to RedBoard for more details on availability.
Moms lead the mobile shopping revolution
Mobile commerce is slated to become one of the biggest online trends for 2013. Not only are people doing most of their browsing online, but they're becoming less hesitant to makes purchases online as well– especially moms.
According to a new study from eMarketer, 70 per cent of moms surveyed reported using their smartphone or tablet to shop, while one-third said the devices accounted for almost half their shopping time if not more! Retail apps play the largest role in purchasing decisions, though advice and ratings from fellow moms still ranks highest when it comes to deciding to buy.
Have your shopping habits changed with technological advancements? What are you looking forward to with future developments?

Weekend Reading: BlackBerry 10, new Rogers Wireless Innovation Centre, and mobile commerce
One of the reasons we started our Weekend Reading series is because of the sheer volume of things happening in the tech world, from innovations and advancements, to product releases and events. This week alone: we saw the launches of BlackBerry 10 and the new Rogers Wireless Innovation Centre. It doesn't stop there. We also look ahead at what to expect in 2013 from mobile commerce. Happy Friday everyone!
BlackBerry introduces BlackBerry 10
Without a doubt, this week's top story was the worldwide introduction to the new BlackBerry 10 platform. Just about every tech blog in the universe reported on the news, eager to demo their favorite features and share their insights.
We were lucky enough to not only attend the BlackBerry media event in Toronto, but get an exclusive hands-on video showcasing the BlackBerry Z10. The device is available to Rogers customers as of February 5th but you can pre-register for yours today through the Rogers Reservation System.
Here's a roundup of our picks for some of the best live coverage available online, so you can catch up on everything BlackBerry:
Tech Crunch: Live feed from NYC
Gigaom: Live feed from NYC
Tech Vibes: Live feed from Toronto
Mobile Syrup: Live feed from Toronto
Will you be making your next smartphone a BlackBerry Z10?
Rogers New Wireless Innovation Centre
It was a busy week at Rogers, and not only because of the BlackBerry 10 launch. We announced this week that we've opened a new Wireless Innovation Centre in Toronto to help accelerate innovation and adoption of connected wireless tech in Canada.
Our very own President and CEO Nadir Mohamed joined executives from SAP, Women's College Hospital, and Canadian Tire at a round table discussion on connected technology, where they talked about how big data and analytics will affect Canadian businesses and consumers. Here at Rogers, we are expecting to surpass one million M2M connections before end of year.
We also took this opportunity to show off the new space by showcasing hands-on demos of technology that businesses and consumers use today including ATMs, parking meters and GPS locating tools.
Nadir was quoted at the event: "Internet is the foundation for a truly digital world and as our lives become increasingly connected we will see an explosion of valuable data for businesses, governments, healthcare providers and consumers. To position Canada at the forefront, we are making investments in networks, strategic partnerships, and big data and analytics platforms to build a robust ecosystem that will power a connected future for Canada."
With our Toronto launch, we've expanded our network of Wireless Innovation Centres, which were already up and running in both Montreal and in Vancouver. Check out what the folks at The Globe & Mail, Digital Home and Cartt had to say about the event, and visit www.rogersm2mbusiness.com to learn more about Rogers M2M business.
Mobile Commerce will be huge in 2013
Shoppers are already using their devices to redeem coupons, research products, and make online purchases. As a result, we're seeing trends that include mobile payments, tablet commerce, and local mobile marketing – all key factors in looking at where mobile commerce is headed for 2013.
The Business Insider cites a recent report from BI Intelligence which explains that the rate of mobile commerce growth, coupled with the availability of mobile payment solutions, tablet consumers, mobile marketing, and mobile fashion apps, combine to provide indicators that clearly show that mobile shopping is on the rise. BI Intelligence gives a great overview of these stats and shares thoughts on mobile commerce based on this data.
Check out the full article and let us know what you think in the comments below. The Business Insider definitely resonated with me since we committed to mobile payment in November, after launching a mobile payment solution in partnership with CIBC. I can't wait to see what's ahead for 2013!

Unimpressive resume software
Edit your resume with this program, or save time and do it yourself.
Intelli Custom Resumes Express Edition bills itself as a way to keep track of work experience and build custom resumes specific to each job application. Although we like this idea in theory, in practice it's not very impressive.
The program's interface is not particularly attractive, but with well-labeled buttons, it's easy enough to use. Users first copy and paste their existing resume into the program. It displays the resume with a checkbox next to each line, and users simply uncheck the lines that they don't want to include in the custom resume. Once users have deselected the items they don't want to include and inserted any extra information, the program generates the custom resume, which can then be copied and pasted into the desired destination. This isn't a bad idea for users who have had a variety of different types of work experience and who want to emphasize or downplay certain aspects when applying to a particular position. Ultimately, though, we found ourselves asking, "So what?" Is this really any different from what we do in Word every time we apply for a job? Can't we just as easily highlight and delete unwanted information on our own? We're not sure Intelli Custom Resumes Express Edition's limited features are worth downloading a whole program for. The built-in Help file is brief but adequate.
Intelli Custom Resumes Express Edition is free. It comes as a zip file but installs and uninstalls without issues.

A teenager charged with bringing a handgun to Vicksburg High School has been released from jail on a $15,000 bond.
Police Lt. Sandra Williams tells the Vicksburg Post that the 17-year-old was released Thursday morning.
The teen was arrested Wednesday after school officials were tipped off that he had brought a handgun to school. Williams says the youth has been charged with one count of possessing a weapon on school property.
Williams says a school resource officer disarmed the teenager without incident and arrested him.
Vicksburg Warren School District Superintendent Elizabeth Swinford says the youth will face a disciplinary review committee to determine his punishment. He has been suspended.

This article is in a list format that may be better presented using prose. (June 2014) |
An injury is the damage to a biological organism caused by physical harm.[1] Major trauma is injury that can potentially lead to serious outcomes.
The United States Bureau of Labor Statistics developed the Occupational Injury and Illness Classification System (OIICS). Under this system injuries are classified by
- nature,
- part of body affected,
- source and secondary source, and
- event or exposure.
The OIICS was first published in 1992 and has been updated several times since.[2]
The World Health Organization developed the International Classification of External Causes of Injury (ICECI). Under this system, injuries are classified by
- mechanism of injury,
- objects/substances producing injury,
- place of occurrence,
- activity when injured,
- the role of human intent,
and additional modules. The classification is designed to allow researchers to study the cause of injuries and injury prevention.[3]
The Orchard Sports Injury Classification System (OSICS) is used to classify injuries to enable research into specific sports injuries.[4]
By ultimate cause[edit]
- Intentional injury
- Accidents
By modality[edit]
- Traumatic injury, a body wound or shock produced by sudden physical collision or movement[5]
- Repetitive strain injury or other strain injury
- Other injuries from external physical causes, such as radiation poisoning, burn, or frostbite
- Injury from toxin or as adverse effect of a pharmaceutical drug (e.g., vaccine injury)
- Injury from internal causes such as reperfusion injury
By location[edit]
- Wound, an injury in which skin is torn, cut or punctured (an open wound), or where blunt force trauma causes a contusion (a closed wound). In pathology, it specifically refers to a sharp injury which damages the dermis of the skin.
- Brain injury
- Nerve injury
- Soft tissue injury
- Cell damage, including direct DNA damage
- Lisfranc injury
- Tracheobronchial injury
- Eye injury
- Acute kidney injury
- Knee injury
- Back injury
- Hand injury
- Liver injury
- Head injury
- Musculoskeletal injury
- Acute lung injury
- Pancreatic injury
- Thoracic aorta injury

"How will you determine who's homosexual?....Will you be sucking them off?"
I watched Milk...finally. I happened to be at the library at the right time the other day and it was waiting for me right on the shelf. It was really good. It was neat to see his story (or part of it at least part of it) played out like that so all of us could all see what he went through and learn more about Harvey Milk.
It was inspirational. Just to see him, in a time like that, be the starter of it. You know? To challenge the law and do what was right. Although, I still can't get over the fact that people were so ignorant and bigoted back then that they thought all homosexuals were pedophiles. I mean really? Come on now!
And James Franco he started to annoy me in the last couple Spiderman's but he was great in this. And obviously Sean Penn was :) I thought he was way better in this than he was in Mystic River.
i thought that movie was friggin' awesome :DDDDD
"why, does she have a penis?" -Datarock
(cause im geeky like that XD)
A lot of people *still* think gays are pedophiles.
"People who are happy are slugs... They do not move the human race forward."
-- Camille Paglia, on Oasis
A member of the church that I used to visit said that to me once, and I was like WTF?!?
Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so.
I absolutely love that movie, it's now one of my top favorites. My favorite parts are the "Give Them Hope" speech and when he and Briggs have the public debate. When they travel around and argue their sides. I really liked how Harvey said being raised in a heterosexual world..etc. didn't make him heterosexual, so how would homosexual teachers make students gay? I'd never thought about it like that before. I think Harvey had a knack for coming up with the most obvious and simple answers in a complicated mess of public opinions and views, he was a true leader. The movie inspired me, and I now really admire Harvey Milk, Cleve Jones, Dustin Lance Black, and Sean Penn. There's a documentary about Harvey too, called the Times of Harvey Milk, I only saw about 15 minutes though, my computer was acting up, but I plan to finish it. You should check it out, it's on Hulu.com.

Mutual Recognition Agreements (MRAs) - often known as "accords" - are agreements among organizations that accredit academic degree programs. These are non-governmental agreements that recognize the substantial equivalency of the organizations' accreditation processes and the graduates' preparedness to begin professional practice at the entry level.
Substantial equivalency means that the accreditation systems have comparable standards, outcomes, and processes, though they may not be identical. The mutual recognition of accrediting systems is intended to improve technical education worldwide and foster the mobility of students and graduates.
ABET is a signatory to five MRAs:
Smith College was the first women's college to have an ABET-accredited program. Its engineering science program has been accredited since 2003.

Jail Employee: James Holmes Shows No Remorse
The paper says Holmes is in solitary confinement and was placed on suicide watch. Another inmate, Dima Damalov, told the paper that if Holmes was released into the general population he wouldn't "live to see Monday's court appearance."
A jail employee said Holmes "hasn't shown any remorse" while an unidentified inmate told the paper, "He was spitting at the door and spitting at the guards. He's spitting at everything. Dude was acting crazy."

Reference Guide
Components are declared by the dependency manager and can be implemented by POJOs that contain no references to the OSGi framework whatsoever. Components are the main building blocks of your OSGi application. They have a life cycle, can register themselves as services and have zero or more dependencies.
Life cycle
The dependency manager, as part of a bundle, shares the generic bundle life cycle explained in the OSGi specification. The life cycle of the dependency manager itself, and the components it manages, can be located inside the active state of the hosting bundle.
Each component you define gets its own life cycle, which is explained in the state diagram below.
A component is associated with an instance. This instance can either be specified directly, or you can specify its class. If you do the latter, the actual instance will be created lazily.
Changes in the state of the component will trigger the following life cycle methods:
- init,
- start,
- stop and
- destroy.
The dependency manager will look for methods with these names and one of the following signatures in this order:
- (Component),
- ().
If you don't specify anything, the methods with these names will be invoked on the instance. By using setCallbacks() you can however change this behavior: You can change the names of the methods to look for. Any methods that are set to {{ null }} will not be invoked at all. Another thing you can do is to specify a different instance to invoke these methods on. If you do that, you will usually want to use the first signature, which gives you a reference to the {{ Component }} whose life cycle method was invoked.
Interfaces and properties
Components in the context of the dependency manager can be published as OSGi services under one or more interface names, plus optionally a set of properties. This is no different than a normal OSGi service. It's important to mention that you don't have to register a service. If you don't, you basically created a component that can do work and have dependencies and a managed life cycle.
When implementing more complex components, you often find yourself using more than one instance. However, several of these instances might want to have dependencies injected. In such cases you need to tell the dependency manager which instances to consider. This has to be a fixed set of instances however.
Out of the box, there already is support for lazy instantiation, meaning that the dependency manager can create component instances for you when their required dependencies are resolved. However, sometimes creating a single instance using a default constructor is not enough. In those cases, you can tell the dependency manager to delegate the creation process to a factory.
Aspects, as part of aspect oriented programming, can be used in a dynamic environment such as OSGi to "extend" existing services and add certain "capabilities" to them. Examples of these are adding a specific caching mechanism to a storage service or implementing logging. Aspects in OSGi can be applied to services and can be added and removed at runtime.
Adapters, like aspects, are used to "extend" existing services, and can publish different services based on the existing one. An example would be implementing a management interface.
Resource Adapters
Resource adapters work just like adapters, but instead of working with services, they work with resources. Resources, represented as a URL, are an abstraction introduced to provide a generic way of dealing with "blobs" and can be resources inside a bundle, filesystem or some kind of data store.
The dependency manager supports many different types of dependencies, all of which can be required or optional. A dependency can be added to one or more components and it is possible to add them dynamically (even from within the component itself if necessary, which allows for some really dynamic dependency configuration).
One way to deal with dependencies is to have them injected into your component instances automatically. All you need to do is simply declare a field of the same type as your dependency, make the member volatile so any changes will become visible immediately and you're done. If a dependency is optional, a null object will be injected if the dependency is not available.
Sometimes you need more control over injection, so optionally you can even specify the name of the field to inject into. This allows you to depend on different dependencies of the same type, or simply to prevent injection into more than one field.
When keeping track of multiple instances of a dependency, or when you simply want something to happen whenever a dependency becomes (un)available or changes, you can define callbacks, like added, changed and removed. Optionally, you can provide the dependency manager with an instance to invoke these callback methods on. If you don't, they'll be invoked on the component instance.
Types of Dependencies
Out of the box, several types of dependencies are supported: service, bundle, configuration, resource and temporal service. However, it's quite easy to add your own custom type of dependency too.
A service dependency allows you to depend on a service, either by type or by using an additional filter condition. You can even depend on an existing service directly by providing a reference to it.
A bundle dependency allows you to depend on a bundle in a certain set of states, as indicated by a state mask. You can also use a filter condition that is matched against all manifest entries. Finally you can provide a reference to an existing bundle.
A configuration dependency is always required, and allows you to depend on the availability of a valid configuration for your component. Optional configuration dependencies are not supported because in that case you can just as well register as a {{ ManagedService }} yourself.
A resource dependency allows you to depend on a resource. A resource is a URL and you can use a filter condition based on protocol, host, port, path and URL.
Temporal Service
A temporal service dependency is a special type of service dependency which does not go away anymore. If you invoke it, and in reality the service is temporarily not available, your call will block until a configurable time-out passes. If during that time the service becomes available again, the new service method is invoked. If not, you will get an exception indicating the time-out expired.
Implementing Your Own Dependency
All dependencies share a common API which you can implement yourself if you need a special type of dependency. Whilst not entirely trivial, this allows you to create your own types of dependencies. This can be useful for various scenarios where you want to have components that depend on things that are not services, bundles or configuration.
An example implementation can be found in one of the many test cases for the dependency manager: {{ CustomDependencyTest }}. This implements a dependency that can be made available and unavailable by manipulating a {{ Toggle }} which can be made available or unavailable. You basically have to implement two interfaces: {{ Dependency }} and {{ DependencyActivation }}. The former contains the bulk of the methods that you will need to implement and depending on the actual features you want your dependency to support, you have to implement some or all of them. The JavaDoc for each method plus the example code should get you started. The latter contains a couple of life cycle methods to start and stop tracking your custom dependency.
Monitoring and Shell
The dependency manager has shell commands that allow you to inspect at runtime the state of the individual components and their dependencies. A separate bundle exists that enables these commands, and the shells it currently supports are: Apache Felix, Gogo and Eclipse Equinox Shell.
Filter Indices
These are still experimental.

3 Decent but not worthy of the full game.Medaking | 02/05/2007 | See all Medaking's reviews (11)Top 100 Games Reviewer I have got the Xbox 360 version of this and since I cant review that ill review this. The game starts with a portal appearing in the Nibenay Basin area in a little island. A resident from the Shivering Isles rushes out as soon as you arrive to give you a taste of the sort of madness that awaits you in the portal. The main thing about this in my opinion is, its different to the land of Tamriel. It has got many fun activities to be done, the funnest being rebuilding a 10-foot monster which you once destroyed to get into the realm. Just for the record, everyone in the realm is either disturbed, tormented or just pure CRAZY in some way or another. None beingmore so than Lord Sheogorath, the Madgod. He enlists your help to stop the almighty Greymarch which once every so often destroys the realm. All in all the Shivering Isles is something new and exciting in the land of The Elder Scrolls. It lacks a little in different side quests, with the same old search somewhere and bring back. Also I doubt there is 30 hours of new gameplay, ive got bout 10 thus far. If your willing to continue playing in the world of Oblivion and want something fresh for it with plenty new things then go ahead if your willing to part with £18. One more important thing. DO NOT kill yourself or attack Lord Sheogorath, you'll live to regret that you did.
4 WorthwhileAzeryk | 13/05/2007 | See all Azeryk's reviews (56)Top 100 Games Reviewer The Shivering Isles is an expanion pack designed for people who enjoyed the original game and want to adventure some more and continue with their existing character (although you can start with a new character). The new dotyr is based in the unique relm of Sheogorath where you will go around areas you've never imagined before making it much more intesterting. There is plenty of new creatures, monsters, weapons, armours and dungeons, and whilst it won't last the 30 hours stated on the box it will entertain for plenty of hours and is definatly a worthwhile purchase for all fans of the original game.
3 Not particularly inspired, but still validSnick99 | 28/03/2008 | See all Snick99's reviews (24)This is the first full featured expansion to Oblivion, and IMO it leaves a lot to be desired. You have a main quest that is more or less fine, what is lacking is the rest. Most side quests are simple or even contrived, people inhabiting the land of madness do not look so mad after all, and there is not much variety in the new lands.Still, it deserves its price. Too bad they didn't take the chance to improve the original game interface, that still limits you too much. Some examples? The very few quickslots are not enough to cover all you will probably want to use: magic, different weapons, various items. So you'll still need to pause the game to quaff a potion, pick up a particular weapon or select an unusual spell. This breaks up immersiveness a lot, at least for me. Oh, and it looks like you still cannot delete spells unless you mess with saved games and the console. Shame on Bethesda for this one!
5 GREATpyromaniacr221 | 11/01/2009 | See all pyromaniacr221's reviews (1)Most people on sites such as play.com just argue on how good or bad the game is, but i say, argueing on the internet is like the special oymlpics, dosnt matter if you win you will still be mentally deformed.I loved the game when i first bought itfor ps3, i was slightly confused on well evrything, 2 days later and a read of the manual, i was as easy adn tasty as pie.I have now bought it for pc with the 2 expansions, this is the better of the 2, it really is.I wont spoil it, but lets just say the bethseda team really pulled it of! And at the end evryone will worship you as the true mad god!!!
5 In the Wierd and Wonderful World...MikeOfThunder | 11/04/2008 | See all MikeOfThunder's reviews (45)The Madgod is falling and needs a new warrior to fight his evil foe... Order!Go through a portal and appear in a completely new realm full of fantastic creatures and shocking horrors!!! And find out of the secrets that keeps the world of the Madgod in constant struggle between chaos and order!In this new explansion for Oblivion, find an entirely new world in which to gain powerful weapons and abilities!This is loaded with extra goodies! There is the main quest and many little side quests! Also when you gain 'power' (dont wanna reveal anything) you can control so much cool stuff like the weather for a set time... its ace!!!

hey, i've been thinking of starting twisted treeline ranked, whats the meta for TT?
Pretty sure its ad top ap bot and a jungler. I wish I knew how to jungle on TT wish someone could show me.
Quick Rawr
I haven't really seen a meta. I've seen junglers on some teams, not on others. Both are viable. If you do have a jungler, you need to make sure your bot team has the capability of 2v1 if they don't have a jungler. It's beneficial to have a tank with strong cc and then typically there is an ad carry and an ap carry. I've not seen a big difference between the top or bot lane being the ad/ap carry.
Shyvana Singed Kennen
Won't see a lot of Singed. Shyvana sorta... cause of the whole Farmhand #1 incident, everybody using it. Mostly see the top tier champions
Mohzar Kite
Junior Member
Top is a combination of top and mid from SR. Really the champion who benefits the most from solo farm and quick leveling. Bot generally consists of either two champions who compliment each other, or a solo champion with high sustain or zoning abilities. In some cases the two champion setup can resemble bot in SR, where a stronger champion acts as a babysitter so that the weaker champion can easily farm (Kat comes to mind. Her early game is terrible for TT.) At least one champion generally needs to have high mobility for ganks and jungle control. This can be achieved by an actual jungler, but the jungle in TT is not nearly as friendly as in SR - even by older SR jungle standards. In some cases this is overcome by allowing the jungler to lane bot for the first few levels before entering the jungle. Regardless, the jungler really allows for amazing control of red/dragon/other buffs, and it's worth it if you can pull it off successfully.
go look at the thread called Twisted Treeline; What To Expect describes most of them
oooh thank you, i'll go check all this out while im waiting for the update

BUTLER COUNTY, PA -- Donald Trump has scored a legal victory against a former beauty pageant contestant. Just ahead of Wednesday's Miss Universe pageant in Las Vegas, an arbitration judge has awarded the Trump-owned Miss Universe Organization five-million dollars in damages against ex-Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin, of Cranberry Township, Butler County.
She made headlines earlier this year when she accused the Miss USA pageant of being rigged, "lacking in morals," "inconsistent" and "in many ways trashy." Monnin resigned from her position as Miss Pennsylvania shortly after the June pageant. Trump fired back, calling Monnin's accusations "defamatory" in a lawsuit.
Judge Theodore H. Katz agreed. According to the "New York Post," Judge Katz said Monnin's statements were "false" and "showed a reckless disregard" in his ruling late last week.

Edinburgh International Science Festival
The Edinburgh International Science Festival is a science festival which takes place each April in Edinburgh, Scotland. The festival features hundreds of talks, tours and exhibitions for children, families and adults in locations around the city. The festival was first held in 1989,[2] and its principal sponsors are the Edinburgh City Council and the Scottish Executive. The Edinburgh International Science Festival is one of the largest science festivals in Europe and the 2010 had over 200 different events across the city.
Science Festival partners include the Medical Research Council, SCI-FUN, the University of Edinburgh, Our Dynamic Earth, the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, Bang Goes The Theory and many more. Dr. Bunhead regularly appears at the festival. Speakers in 2010 included Professor Richard Dawkins, Brian Cox and Professor Sir Ian Wilmut. The 2011 Science Festival ran from 9–22 April 2011. There were appearances by Professor Richard Dawkins, Lord Rees, Professor Lord Robert Winston, Kevin Warwick and Carl Djerassi. In 2011 the EISF featured Richard Wiseman as guest director of the festival.[3]
The touring arm of the Edinburgh International Science Festival is Generation Science which is the educational outreach programme. It is one of the largest providers of science education outreach in Scotland.

Some California hay growers are trading yield for quality by planting dormant alfalfa varieties in what has been considered semi-dormant territory, says Dan Putnam, University of California alfalfa and forage extension specialist.
"In the Sacramento Valley and the upper part of the San Joaquin Valley, they're growing some of the types of varieties being grown in Minnesota," he says. "Some of the seed companies are telling us that 60-70% of their seed sales are in those fall dormancy classes."
Fall dormancy (FD) 3 and 4 varieties are traditionally grown in cold-winter areas. But they're taking the place of the more traditional FD 6s to 8s to provide the higher-quality feeds California dairymen want, he says.
"I keep telling them at my field days that they're going to take a yield penalty if they do that. We get higher-quality harvests, but a 1- to 2- or 2½-ton yield penalty." Putnam estimates yield reductions of ½-ton/acre for each lower fall dormancy number planted.
"I'm not saying their strategy is wrong; I'm just saying I don't think they're aware of how much yield they are losing," he says.
Growing lower-yielding, higher-quality varieties works best in a 'down' price year, when price premiums for quality are higher, Putnam says. "In a year like 2007, though, it doesn't pay to favor quality over yield. When even medium-quality hay is selling for well over $150/ton in most areas, growers should go primarily for yields."
However, over the course of an alfalfa planting, the market may change and favor quality over yield. Also, several high-yielding FD 6 and 7 varieties produce better quality and make sense for many areas of the Sacramento Valley, Putnam says.
The trend is economically driven, says Craig Sharp, co-owner of Eureka Seeds, Woodland, CA. When hay prices are high, semi-dormants will total 60% of total sales and dormants, 40%. In a year with lower hay prices, 60% of the seed will be in the FD 3-4 range and 40% in the semi-dormant.
He estimates that FD 4 varieties are half of what's planted in the Sacramento Valley, a part of the Central Valley, which also includes the San Joaquin Valley.
Seven to 10 years ago, established hay growers resorted to growing more-dormant varieties to get an edge over opportunists who started producing hay when the market demand was high, Sharp says.
"A lot of the hay was not making it into the dairy market and was getting discounted, opening up a big price range between dairy-quality and 'non-test' hay."
Growers asked themselves, says Sharp, " 'What can I do to differentiate myself and make sure I get good test quality?' So they planted lower-dormancy varieties.
"By going to a 4 dormancy, they take about 15% less yield overall, over a four-year average. But they have the better chance of meeting the standards for dairy-quality hay," he adds.
Mick Canevari, a University of California farm advisor in the San Joaquin Valley, typically recommends lower fall dormancy alfalfas to growers who are intent on providing hay for the dairy industry.
"In my area, I would guess that 60% of the acreage is in lower fall dormancy varieties," he says. In the intermountain northern parts of California, FD 3 varieties are used. Moving south through the Central Valley, the fall dormancy continues to get higher until reaching the Imperial Valley, where FD 9 and 10 varieties are grown.
Canevari thinks hay users have created a split market. Dairymen want higher TDN/protein; beef producers and horse owners don't. So growers who target the dairy market use dormant varieties. "Others are more into high yields and not necessarily high protein or high forage quality, so they will use FD 7s and 8s." The difference in price could be $50/ton, he estimates. "The market price drives growers' decisions."
"There is also an increase in the non-dormant plantings in the northern part of the state," Sharp adds. "It's not widespread, but a lot of guys have given up on trying to make dairy quality because of the heat or type of soil they are on. They're pretty much resigned to the fact that they're going to grow for the horse market, which basically is just tonnage and clean hay."
This split market, Sharp thinks, is here to stay. "Dormant varieties do give better quality opportunities and the dormants we have now are much better than the ones we had 10 or 15 years ago. A lot of alfalfas in that class are adapting well to the soil types, the diseases and the change in planting area. I think plant breeders are doing a better job of developing varieties that adapt well in California."

70. Rescue
I knew something had happened. The oppressiveness lifted, as if a heavy protection had been withdrawn and a weakness exposed; the air itself grew lighter, with hints of painful, freshness. The dark ones forgot me, forgot us all; their snarls now were for one another.
Then the dark ones left me utterly alone. For the first time in any memory I wanted to examine, there were no whips, no cudgels, no pincers, no brands. I could hear a dull roar far away; it lasted a long time until all was silent. I was silent too, too terrified to whimper.
Then the stones screamed and the ground shook, and I feared and hoped that the end and blessed release had finally come. But then the dark ceiling above my head opened up, and the cruel sun burned my eyes. I saw but one flash of vivid, brutal blue before I fell with my face to the floor, screaming.
Their hands were gentle, but gave as much pain as the dark ones had. Once more I was denied release to Mandos' Halls. I know not how to live in this new world, and those who found me will not let me die.

How to guides
How to plan your concrete path, patio or driveway
Concrete is made up of cement, aggregate (particles of stone) and sharp sand. When you mix these ingredients with water, they bind into a solid, hard material. In different proportions, they produce concrete of different strengths for different uses.
It's important to get the proportions right. If there's too much aggregate, you'll struggle to get a satisfactory finish. And too much sand will make the mix weak, so that the finished surface could be damaged by the elements.
Concrete begins to harden after about two hours, and then becomes unworkable. But it doesn't become really strong for several days, and continues to harden as long as there's some moisture in it.

text: Even after 40 years, nobody beats SecretariatBy MIke Downey, Special to CNNUpdated 10:29 AM ET, Fri May 3, 2013Secretariat approaches the finish line to win the 1973 Belmont Stakes by a record 31 lengths.Story highlightsIt's been 40 years since Secretariat won the Triple CrownNo horse has won the Triple Crown since Affirmed in 1978Despite lack of "superhorses," interest in Kentucky Derby is still highRace will be run SaturdayDesperately seeking Secretariat.We could use a new you. A superhorse to make our hearts pound the way your hooves did. A four-legged stud to give us a break from cheating golfers, dog-torturing football quarterbacks and doped-up bike racers and baseball sluggers.Kentucky Derby day is upon us again. It has been 40 years since you, Big Red -- hey, no one who knew you called you Secretariat -- took the Derby, then the Preakness, then the Belmont Stakes (by a ludicrous 31 lengths) for what we like to call horse racing's Triple Crown.Incredibly, in all three races -- I repeat, ALL THREE -- Secretariat still owns the fastest time. After he died in 1989, they discovered Big Red's heart to be more than twice the normal size. This handsome chestnut was half colt, half Ferrari ... a mean, russet running machine.Watch Secretariat's historic Belmont race A horse is a horse? Of course, of course, yet not a one has won a Triple Crown since 1978, when Affirmed did it. And no steed in lo these 40 years has had anything close to Secretariat's popularity, pizzazz and -- OK, I gotta do it -- animal magnetism.Saturday afternoon, it's time for yet another wild mid-Eastern roundup. An equine chorus line of toddler-seeking-tiara 3-year-olds will be saddled up in Louisville for the 139th running of the Kentucky Derby, a horse race so old, the first one was run 10 years after the Kentucky-bred Abe Lincoln got assassinated. Place your bets.Verrazano? Goldencents? Orb? Oxbow? Overanalyze? Itsmyluckyday, maybe?They'll be at the post, barring late scratches, with quite a few others for the Run for the Roses, so it's definitely going to be somebody's lucky day.Just WatchedGary Stevens' successful Derby return?replayMore Videos ...Gary Stevens' successful Derby return? 02:38PLAY VIDEOJust WatchedFemale jockey aims to win DerbyreplayMore Videos ...Female jockey aims to win Derby 02:32PLAY VIDEOIs there a Secretariat in the bunch? A magnificent nag who will make tongues wag in the months ahead? A horse that can give the sport of thoroughbred racing a badly needed golden goose? A way to change the sports-fan conversation from the usual MLB, NBA, NCAA, NHL, PGA, NASCAR blah blah blah?I sure do hope so.But don't hold your breath.Bleacher Report: Kentucky Derby coverageConsider the track record of the Kentucky Derby's past nine winners:• I'll Have Another (2012), Hurt, scratched from Belmont, has not run another race.• Animal Kingdom (2011), Hurt after Belmont, did not run again in 2011.• Super Saver (2010), never won again, retired in October 2010.• Mine That Bird (2009), never won again, retired in November 2010.• Big Brown (2008), retired in October '08.• Street Sense (2007), retired in October '07.• Barbaro (2006), Hurt in Preakness, never ran another race.• Giacomo (2005), won one more race, retired in '06.• Smarty Jones (2004), lost in Belmont, never ran again.Kings for a day, for a fortnight, for a few weeks. Then no more. Each cashed a ticket in the I Won The Derby lottery, but that's about it.In, out.What we're looking for is a horse that can run and keep running, let us go see him do his thing. (And I don't mean pet him in a pasture after he's put out to stud.)We want a horse for the ages, a winged Pegasus to become the subject of myths.Secretariat went to the post only a few months more after donning his Triple Crown, but at least crowds did get to come out and see him race at Arlington Park, at Saratoga, at Belmont again, even in Toronto before he was free to go sire baby Secretariats. (Whoa, Big Red!)Seabiscuit didn't run in a Kentucky Derby, but he definitely had the kind of super-popularity I mean. For his match race with War Admiral in 1933, they say 40,000 came to the track while 40 million tuned in on the radio. Now there's an A-list star.We nearly had another in Smarty Jones a few years back. I was on Long Island when his run in the 2004 Belmont drew an astounding crowd of 120,139, which they say to this day is the largest crowd ever to attend a New York sporting event of any kind.Smarty was a party. He was undefeated. But he got caught from behind that day at the wire and then hung up his horseshoes for good. That swift little colt could have become 10 times the size of Taylor Swift, and I don't mean on a scale. He could have been a cover model for American Bridle, had a hundred thousand followers at any track in America and a million on Twitter.We were a little giddy over I'll Have Another a year ago, after he won the Derby and Preakness, but his humans withdrew him from the Belmont at the last minute. I'll Have Another never had another. He'd had enough. Check, please.Horse racing ain't what it used to be.So many great tracks of old, gone. Bay Meadows, Bowie, Garden State, Hialeah, Longacres, Narragansett, so many more, open no more. Attendance at our surviving tracks is way down, coast-to-coast. Lines at the $2 windows aren't usually too long.On the other hand ..."People can now sit on their couch and watch -- and bet -- on races, eliminating the need to go to the track or even to a wagering facility," said Bob Mieszerski, long one of America's top turf writers and handicappers who is now director of publicity at California's Hollywood Park. "I still believe the on-track experience is special, but in this day and age of traffic and high gas prices, I understand why people don't want to make the trek to the track."Churchill Downs will have its usual huge throng Saturday, with TV ratings to match.So wouldn't it be swell if a superhorse could ride to racing's rescue?"A superhorse may spark interest for awhile," Mieszerski respectfully disagreed, "but I have never agreed with those who believe a Triple Crown winner is going to be some magic elixir for whatever ails racing. The Kentucky Derby is a spectacle, and a lot of people who couldn't care less about racing will show up just to say that they were there. The same goes for TV.''Probably, Bob.I still feel a superhorse could pack 'em in at the track, from Aqueduct to Santa Anita, from Thistledown to Oaklawn, from Gulfstream to Del Mar, if we were given a chance to jump in our cars and go see the animal everybody's talking about, the Next Secretariat.Two bucks on Orb for me, please. I feel lucky.More from opinionAre drugs stifling women?What will happen if the bees disappear?Thanks, Ben Carson, but prison doesn't make people 'come out' gayPowered by Livefyre

Sandi Hansen | For The Sun
Since before he can remember, 14-year old Sonoman Ben Presten has been fascinated with flying, and now the Arch Bishop Hanna High School eighth-grader has the distinction of reaching a rare aeronautical goal.
Just two days after his 14th birthday Ben completed his first solo flight in his family's 1946 Schweizer SGU 2-22 glider at the Schellville Airport on Arnold Drive. His certified flight instructor for this accomplishment was Andy Smith, a pilot who generally instructs from Sonoma Skypark, the airport on Eighth Street East.
Ben flew 26 times with Smith, totaling nearly seven hours of instruction then one hour of solo, staying up about 20 minutes each time. Asked how did his teacher know when he was ready to go it alone Ben said, "There's not a certain hour requirement, it's when the instructor says you're ready. Normally it takes four to five flights in one day before being allowed to solo but after two flights Andy said I was ready."
Ben comes from a third-generation flying family. His mother Debbie, 46, and father Eric, 48, are both general aviation pilots with 17-and 30-years flying experience respectively. His brother 15-year old Curtis, is a Sonoma Valley High School freshman and took his first solo glider flight for his 14th birthday. The tow plane, a 1949 Piper PA-16 Clipper, is owned by the Prestens and flown by Eric.
Glider flying is very much a family affair. Curtis serves as the ground crew hooking up the towrope and running the glider's wingtip on takeoff and landing (a favor Ben did when Curtis performed his initial flight training last winter). Debbie monitors safety procedures, assures all pre-and post-flight requirements are closely followed and helps with positioning the glider before takeoff and after landing.
The process of getting a glider up in the air and releasing it to soar is very exact. Wind conditions have to be just right before Ben, the pilot in command (PIC), pulls the release lever freeing him from the tow plane at about 3,000 feet. At that point, "The glider turns to the right and the tow plane turns to the left so there's no chance of hitting each other," said Ben.
Once he's free from the tow plane Ben's on his own. "I look everything over, do some 360-degree circles and decide how high I am," Ben said. After a few minutes and at 1,000 feet he heads toward the airport. "I'll be at 600 feet when I'm across the landing strip."
Then it's time to gently land the aircraft. Asked if he's ever had a bad landing Ben said no. After touchdown it's time to clear the runway and position the planes for the next flight.
Depending on atmospheric conditions and how tired everyone is, Debbie said they make between four and five flights comfortably in a day at the Schellville Airport.
The Prestens are a very close family with each one supporting the other in their respective goals. As for Ben's attending Hanna High School, a campus known for helping boys with difficult issues, Debbie said Ben had been struggling at public school and he's been attending Hanna for the past eight months. "The small class size has helped him feel more comfortable with his education. He loves it and we couldn't be happier with him being there." The support the family has had from friends, relatives and both local airports has been a tremendous factor in the Presten boys' successes. Hanna Boys Center Director Father John Crews attended Ben's first solo flight. Chris Prevost, pilot and owner of Schellville Airport; and flight instructor Andy Smith of Skypark Airport are just a few of those who have put a lot of time and effort into making sure the young pilots reach their goals.
As for what's next for this flying family, in 2013 Curtis will solo a powered airplane, a 1946 Aeronca Champ which is a high-wing, single-engine trainer; and two years from now Ben will fly one of three of the family's planes, only one with a motor in it. At 17-years old both boys will get their pilot licenses and will continue flying the antique and classic airplanes the Prestens love. Curtis plans to join the United States Air Force and Ben wants to become a veterinarian and fly as a hobby.
In the meantime, the entire family participates in events all over the country when Debbie-a Napa schoolteacher-and the boys are all off for summer vacation. They will appear at the American Barnstormer Tours in North Dakota, Minnesota, Illinois and Iowa; at the Oshkosh Airventure in Oshkosh, Wisconsin; and at the Dream Machines Event in Half Moon Bay.
Eric, a professional writer and photographer, will bring along to sell, the latest of six books he's written on airplanes, "Vintage Flyers III," which contains 1,015 color photographs he has taken of vintage and antique aircraft all over the world.
In expressing their gratitude to the Sonoma community for their continued support, Eric said he and Debbie share the excitement their children feel about learning to fly, which would not have been possible without the tremendous encouragement of both airports in welcoming Ben and Curtis to the aviation world. Said Eric, "As they say, 'it takes a village to raise a child,' and these two villages have been very good for the Presten boys."

BATON ROUGE- One person is dead following a crash on Scenic Highway near Thomas Road.
It happened this Sunday evening just before 5:30pm. The intersection is the same spot where numerous crashes have occurred before.
In November, News 2 spoke to the state about the issue after a business owner demanded that a traffic light get installed there. The State told News 2 it was in the middle of a traffic study in November. Tonight, our cameras did not see any traffic lights at the intersection.
The name of the person killed in tonight's crash has not been released.

Tamara didn't have a job to go to this morning to support the two daughters she is raising alone. She did have an appointment at the hospital to get a CAT-Scan because her cancer symptoms have returned.
Sixteen months ago, ten days after the birth of her second daughter, Tamara was diagnosed with Non-Hodgkins Lymphoma. In the blurry, sleepless days of early motherhood, Tamara knew something was terribly wrong. Her weakness and exhaustion were so overwhelming that she returned to the hospital.
During her 10 months of chemo-therapy, unable to work, Tamara and her two little girls moved in with her parents. A trained medical billing specialist, Tamara began to search for any kind of job that would accept her with a necessary treatment schedule. She has been frequently rejected.
The Christmas Assistance Programs offered by The Salvation Army offered the hope of a joyous holiday to Tamara's family.
"Gifts for the girls would mean so much. It's the basic essentials like clothes I hope to provide for them."
Thanks to our generous donors, that wish will come true.
If you would like to contribute, you can do so online here, or by calling (804) 591-3816.
We ask that you keep Tamara and her family in your prayers this Christmas Season.

Red Bull's Sebastian Vettel rose to the top of the pile as dusk fell in Abu Dhabi on Friday afternoon, but the world champion ended FP2 only 0.168s ahead of FP1 pacesetter Lewis Hamilton for McLaren.
Vettel and Hamilton battled for the fastest time for the first hour, after which the times failed to improve as the ambient and track temperatures dropped. The German eventually won the fight with 1m 41.751s, but Hamilton then worked down to 1m 41.919s to keep him honest. Jenson Button was third in the other McLaren with 1m 42.412s, fractionally ahead of Mark Webber in the second Red Bull on 1m 42.466s.
Romain Grosjean put Lotus into play with 1m 42.500s, backed by team mate Kimi Raikkonen on 12m 42.532s. Right behind them, Fernando Alonso managed 1m 42.587s for Ferrari, with his team mate Felipe Massa on 1m 42.823s. Pastor Maldonado and Sergio Perez rounded out the top 10 for Williams and Sauber with 1m 42.998s and 1m 43.106s respectively.
Williams' Bruno Senna backed Maldonado with 1m 43.191s despite missing FP1, then came Nico Rosberg in the leading Mercedes on 1m 43.200s, Nico Hulkenberg in the first Force India on 1m 43.255s, Michael Schumacher on 1m 43.267s in the other Mercedes, Force India's Paul di Resta on 1m 43.578s and Sauber's Kamui Kobayashi in 1m 43.689s.
Again the Toro Rossos were just out of the midfield club, with Daniel Ricciardo and Jean-Eric Vergne in their customary 17th and 18th places on 1m 44.260s and 1m 45.005s.
Vitaly Petrov had a spin on his way to 19th with 1m 45.245s, with Caterham team mate Heikki Kovalainen next on 1m 45.782s. Timo Glock lapped his Marussia in 1m 46.589s to edge out Charles Pic on 1m 46.671s and Pedro de la Rosa on 1m 46.707s for HRT. Team mate Narain Karthikeyan also spun, and brought up the rear on 1m 47.406s.

Minibar at Café Atlántico, Penn Quarter
Washington , D.C.
Tel: 202 393 0812
Concierge.com's insider take:
A six-stool outpost on the second floor of the popular Café Atlántico is the smallest restaurant in Spanish chef José Andrés's burgeoning D.C. empire. Here, Andrés, who also oversees Oyamel, Jaleo (480 7th St., N.W.; 202-628-7949; www.jaleo.com) and Zaytinya (701 9th St., N.W.; 202-638-0800; www.zaytinya.com), serves a 30-course tasting menu of bite-size dishes that attracts serious foodies and, often, celebrity chefs. Andrés was a star pupil of Spanish alchemist Ferran Adriá of El Bulli, the restaurant that sparked an experimental revolution in Europe, and his résumé shows here. Try the deconstructed New England clam chowder and foie gras twirled in vanilla sugar cotton candy. Downstairs at Café Atlántico, meanwhile, the Latin dim sum served on Saturdays and Sundays is an enticing and different spin on weekend brunch.
Closed Sundays and Mondays.
