SAP Readies SAP HANA® Platform For Mission-Critical Applications In The Enterprise
MADRID, Nov. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- SAP AG (NYSE: SAP) today announced the SAP HANA® platform support pack stack 5 (SPS5) to power mission-critical transactional and analytical applications in one platform. SAP HANA will further collapse the architectural layers between application and data processing. It will converge database services for transaction, analytics, text and predictive processing together with application services for the application server, planning, rules and event stream processing within one in-memory based architecture. SAP HANA SPS5 will also support large-scale data center deployments with expanded support for high availability, disaster recovery and security. In addition, SAP is aggressively fostering open innovation with more than 150 startups delivering solutions on top of SAP HANA as well as introducing a certification program planned to support best-of-breed third-party business intelligence (BI), ETL and back-up/recovery solutions. The announcement was made at SAPPHIRE® NOW + SAP® TechEd, being held as a co-located event in Madrid from November 13-16.

"We made a bold commitment earlier this year to deliver mission-critical applications on the SAP HANA platform and we have reached that goal with our own CRM solution powered by SAP HANA," said Vishal Sikka, member of the SAP Executive Board, Technology & Innovation. "Besides SAP solutions, we're also seeing groundbreaking innovations from over 150 startups and partners building purposeful big data solutions on top of the SAP HANA platform."
SAP HANA SPS5 to Collapse Layers to Enable Real-Time EnterpriseNew features in SAP HANA will help further eliminate the inherent latency and complexity that exist in today's application architecture. Converging data and application processing all within one in-memory platform architecture will help companies gain insight in real time. Key features in SAP HANA will include:
- Single environment for transactional (OLTP) and analytical (OLAP) data processing: SAP HANA will be both a read-optimized column store ideally suited for OLAP applications and a write-optimized row store suited for OLTP applications, such as the SAP® 360 Customer solution.
- Natural language-based text analytics: By expanding advanced text search with natural language processing, organizations will be able to process text and social sentiment data within SAP HANA to filter files, identify entities and analyze sentiment across 31 languages.
- Expanding predictive analytics for SAP HANA: SAP HANA will continue to expand on embedded predictive algorithms to enable enterprises to perform segmentation and clustering analyses to identify and retain profitable customers, improve upsell opportunities and detect fraud. New predictive analysis library functions for SAP HANA SPS5 will include classification, clustering, outlier detection and data preparation algorithms. In addition, SAP HANA will also support predictive model markup language (PMML) for the integration and sharing of predictive models. The additional native predictive functions within the in-memory SAP HANA database engine will allow developers, partners and customers to continue developing powerful and fast predictive applications on the platform.
- Expanding extended application services for SAP HANA: New extended application services in SAP HANA will deliver native application server capabilities as a service to help developers quickly develop and deploy 2 and 2½ tier applications directly within the SAP HANA platform using HTLM5, Javascript, SQLScript, XML/A, JSON and ODATA. Additionally, these services can be exposed for consumption by device-based applications or by other application servers.
- Enhanced business rules management: Business rules management in SAP HANA will be a core component of the extended application services built into SAP HANA. This will empower developers to easily add business rules to their applications without embedding these directly within software codes. These rules are designed to be easily maintained by end users without writing code and through a simple intuitive interface. It will have the ability to simulate, mine for trends and patterns and modify physical data based on actions.
- Application functional library framework: Developers can easily access embedded algorithms and business functions through extended application service capabilities via SQLScript or JavaScript. This new level of support will make it easier for developers to build applications that embed advanced analytics.
- Real-time stream data processing support: High velocity, streaming data typically produced by machines, financial exchanges and massive websites will be able to be processed in real time using SAP® Sybase® Event Stream Processor (SAP Sybase ESP), enabling organizations to identify significant events that impact business. Organizations will be able to efficiently store events identified by SAP Sybase ESP directly into SAP HANA in high speed for storage and further analysis. Additionally, SAP Sybase ESP will be able to take advantage of the real-time analytic features of SAP HANA to evaluate complex decisions based on deep multi-sourced data in SAP HANA.
- Common modeling environment across data stores via SAP® Sybase® PowerDesigner, is intended to enable organizations to develop a logical information view regardless of where data is stored.
- High-performance bulk loading of data into SAP HANA or SAP Sybase IQ from a variety of new data sources including Hadoop via SAP® Data Services software is planned to be available.
- Enhanced data profiling user interface is planned to enable business users to manage metadata as business terms, monitor data quality scorecards and identify data quality issues across the enterprise — no matter where the data resides — via SAP® Information Steward software.

Nike SB Dunk Mid – Black – Blue Force – White by Zack Schlemmer 1 Comments
There's are nice but when I think about Beavis and look at these they become kinda meh.
June 26, 2013 BY Aaron Hope / 1
The theme shared by July 2013's Dunk SB pack is so subtly implemented that if you didn't know the backstory, both pairs would come off as simply well constructed colorways. Notice we didn't say the theme itself is subtle, though King of the Hill fans will tell you that the guy who started it all is indeed capable of intricate brilliance. With the 'Beavis' Nike SB Dunk Mid Pro, we're talking about a degenerate adolescent with an addiction to toilet paper, about whom sneakerheads of a certain age are certain to wax nostalgic. There's nothing referencing The Great Cornholio's ever present Metallica tee, but you can see that the blue/grey split and its black hits are indeed inspired by his short-pants outfit. Have a closer look below, stick with Sneaker News for an up-close with the Butt-head edition and grab yours today from Premier.

Lemon Madeleines
Like little cakes with a citrus perfume, these European darlings are equally delightful as a light dessert with fresh fruit or on their own at teatime.
- Yield: Makes 2 dozen
Source: Holiday Cookies 2005, December 2005
- 3/4 cup unsalted butter (1 1/2 sticks), melted, plus more for pans
- 1 1/2 cups cake flour, sifted (not self-rising)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 3 large eggs
- 2 large egg yolks
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons finely grated lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice (2 to 3 lemons total)
- Confectioners' sugar, for dusting (optional)
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Butter two madeleine pans; set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, and salt into a bowl; set aside.
Put eggs, egg yolks, granulated sugar, vanilla, and lemon zest and juice in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium-high speed until pale and thickened, about 5 minutes. Mix in butter. Using a spatula, fold flour mixture into egg mixture. Let rest 30 minutes.
Pour batter into buttered pans, filling the molds 3/4 full. Bake cookies, rotating pans halfway through, until edges are crisp and golden, 7 to 8 minutes. Let cookies cool slightly in pans on wire racks. Invert, and unmold. Dust with confectioners' sugar, if desired.

I just tried this recipe. They came out horrible! First, they were too lemony. I would definitely ease up on the lemon juice or take it out completely and just use the lemon zest. Now, I don't know if its because I have never used cake flour or the the cake flour that I used was not a good brand or what, but the Madelines were so floury tasting and smelling. Also, 400 degrees was too high for my oven, 375 did the trick. But in any case, I will not be following this recipe again.

then let stand for 30 minutes.....I'll make these but
will not waste energie for what could be at least an hour. -

Can these be made dropped or in cat tongue molds , I do not have madeline pans, but like the cookies
Syrup4Me 31 Aug, 2010
I made these using the petite-size pans - made 75 madeleines. They are just delicious and easy to make. The lemon flavor is perfect.
jnokleby 12 Aug, 2010
Would a set of individual sandbakkel pans work? I have many of those and DON'T make sandbakkels. This looks like a cute recipe to have for many things.

I never leave comments, but these were fantastic!! very pretty and very tastey

this recipe was very good for madelines and it was very easy
eurochica 17 Mar, 2010
This is a very good recipie
missstubby 13 Mar, 2009
bunzie, using the paddle is on the KitchenAid or similar mixer as opposed to the wire whip. A regular mixer should work fine, just use a slow to medium speed and save the high speeds for whipping. Some stand mixers have descriptions of the various speeds on the control. I grew up using Hamilton Beach and am just learning to use my KitchenAid. I like it very much but used HB for about 50 years.
Luis_Faust 1 Mar, 2009
I just made these madeleines. They are delicious, but I thought the amount of lemon the recipe asks for is too much. I put the juice of one big lemon (instead of 2 to 3 medium lemons as the recipe says) and they were lemony enough. I might cut even more on the lemon the next time and just use the juice of 1 medium lemon.
They are good to eat as soon as they cool off, when they still are a bit crunchy on the edge and soft on the inside. They look very pretty and everyone loved them, even my 2 yo. -
mvucic 29 Aug, 2008
Jabalchin, I'm sure they'd be fine for a wedding. I like them because they're simple and that will appeal to a lot of people. As for the other molds you are talking about... are they scalloped and shaped into rounds, hearts, diamonds? If so, those are more tart pans. My mom used to make little tarts with them or make them into cute little baskets. If you want, email me your address and I'll see if I can hunt down some recipes for those and possibly some pictures. (firstname.lastname@example.com)
czacza 29 Aug, 2008
Jabalchin- they are technically small little sponge cakes but could be considered by some to be 'cookie-like'...Try Williams Sonoma for pans:

Jabalchin 28 Aug, 2008
MVUCIC - I've never made madeleines but I'm looking for a few new recipes that would be appropriate on cookie trays for a wedding. I'm doing the baking for son's wedding in December (yikes) :) Could these be considered a "cookie"? Also, I inherited some baking cups in various "shapes"....wondering if one is for madeleines. If not, where is the best place to find the correct pans?? Please email me at email@example.com Thank you.
mvucic 28 Aug, 2008
I don't really trust silicone. Last time I made something with a silicone pan, it got stuck... of course, I'll admit, it may have been user error, so if anyone has any tips on getting shaped items out of silicone pans, pls let me know!
Sorry for the long post... ~m
mvucic 28 Aug, 2008
Also, I use a homemade cake release spread to coat the madeleine pan, and any other shaped pan I bake with. It's easy: mix equal parts shortening, oil and flour together. Store in an airtight container at room temperature. I mix up enough to have on hand for several weeks at a time. It's fabulous and inexpensive.
mvucic 28 Aug, 2008
. Janpen, if you're referring to the classic hump on the underside of the madeleine, the recipe I have (I haven't tried this one yet), says to rest the batter for at least 30 minutes, but not at room temperature. My recipe says to rest it in the fridge so that the batter is cold. My madeleines always come out with a nice hump and are even "fatter" than the ones pictured above. I've even left my batter overnight to back early in the AM for a treat!
mvucic 28 Aug, 2008
toto2, I have the madeleine pan from Williams-Sonoma, the larger size they carry (they have a cute mini-madeleine pan as well!). That one I believe is the standard size for madeleines. It has 12 cavities on it.
toto2 28 Aug, 2008
The recipe says it makes 2 dozen but what size pan should I get? I never made these but would like to and it seems that there are different sizes of Madeleines and I think I definitely would like to try the silicone pan for a change.

Bunzie 28 Aug, 2008
I have never made these but would like to try. Does anyone know if I can use just a regular mixer and not the "paddle attachment". I have to go thru all the trouble and not have them turn out because of that. Appreciate anyone's thoughts.
smokerboy 28 Aug, 2008
I have been making these for years and the only advice I offer is you not let the batter sit for 30 minutes as melted butter added to any baking recipe drops to the bottom. I make them as above but fill the pans and bake immediatley. They are plain but delicious and although they don't have a long life they freeze well.
gingerbug6 28 Aug, 2008
If you want to try the ultimate pan, try the Demarle Madeleine pan. It is silicone and woven glass so everything browns beautifully and release without a crumb!!
janpen 28 Aug, 2008
A local bakery, which is now gone, made a fat cake-y version of these that was absolutely fabulous! Any ideas as to how they got the additional volume?
samanthabrowne 28 Aug, 2008
Dave's remark on oven preheating confirms something I've always considered odd about most American recipes, which invariably have the cook prepare the ingredients--which may take an hour or more--while the empty preheated oven consumes vast amounts of electricity. In England, the temperature

- 1/2 cup(s) (1 stick) unsalted butter, room temperature, plus more for pan
- 1.50 cup(s) all-purpose flour, spooned and leveled, plus more for pan
- 2.00 teaspoon(s) baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) salt
- 1.00 cup(s) sugar
- 2.00 large eggs, plus 2 large egg yolks
- 1/2 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup(s) whole milk
- 1.00 pound(s) strawberries, hulled and thinly sliced
- 1.00 teaspoon(s) (from a 1/4-ounce envelope) unflavored gelatin
- 1.50 cup(s) heavy cream
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Butter the bottom of an 8-inch round cake pan, and line it with parchment paper. Butter and flour the paper and sides of the pan. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and salt; set aside.
- Using an electric mixer on high speed, beat the butter and 1/2 cup of sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy. Add the eggs and yolks, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Beat in the vanilla. With the mixer on low, alternately add the flour mixture in 3 parts and the milk in 2, beginning and ending with the flour mixture; mix just until combined. Spread the batter in the prepared pan.
- Bake the cake until a toothpick inserted in center of cake comes out clean, 30 to 35 minutes. Cool the cake in the pan for 10 minutes then invert it onto a wire rack to cool completely. Using a serrated knife, split the cake in half horizontally and place the bottom half, cut side up, on a serving plate.
- Make the topping: In a large bowl, combine the strawberries and 1/4 cup of sugar; set aside. Place 2 tablespoons of cold water in a small saucepan, and sprinkle it with gelatin. Let the gelatin soften for 5 minutes. Place the saucepan over very low heat, and stir until the gelatin is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
- Using an electric mixer, beat the cream and the remaining 1/4 cup sugar in a large bowl until very soft peaks form. Continue to beat the cream and gradually add the gelatin mixture. Beat until soft peaks form.
- Arrange half of the strawberries over the bottom cake layer then top them with half of the whipped cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Cover with the top half of cake, cut side down. Top the cake with the remaining whipped cream, leaving a 1-inch border. Refrigerate the cake and remaining strawberries separately, at least 1 hour (or up to 1 day). Just before serving, spoon the remaining strawberries over the cake.

Saw the "Tiger Mom" being interviewed the other day. Her basic point is that we give our children accolades for failure, and tend not to reward actual success. This breeds a generation that tends to not drive toward success. I recall this being the case as early as kindergarten when in kickball after a game where my team destroyed the other, the coaches called the game a TIE. I looked at my dad, and said "we killed them". He said "I know" I'm saying this because we, as adult americans do the same thing with our country. We repeat the mantra "We have the best ______ in the world!" over and over again, and yet...we are not. This is a cool list of world rankings Country Rankings 2011 - Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International Agreements, Population, Social Statistics, Flags, Maps, Political System a few that jump out: Education: 33rd Infrastructure quality: 23rd Gender gap: 27th Health performance: 72nd (37th by WHO) National IQ: T9th Communications infrastructure: 23rd Life expectancy: 47th Banking system soundness: 108th Things we are #1 in Gun Ownership Universities Arms deliveries to the world Nuclear power plants Unless you are talking about Guns, our Military, colleges, or Nuke Plants....don't say "America has the best______in the world" (Unless you fill that blank with Quarterback, and also say its Tom Brady) We need to stop lying to ourselves.
Um, those world "rankings" are usually garbage. The health care rankings are especially a joke. That being said, we certainly aren't perfect, and aren't the best in everything. I think overall we're near the top though. The problem is that we've been in a somewhat steady decline for a few decades now. IMO anyway. I think this country is generally headed in the wrong direction. We've gone from a country that produces, to a country that consumes. We've gone from a nation of laws to a nation of excuses, and it's okays. We've gone from rewarding hard work, to hardly working, while rewarding those who don't work with that which was earned from those who do. We're getting fatter, lazier, dumber, and less willing to sacrafice. We penalize the majority, to appease the minorty. We're in trouble both fiscally and socially IMO, and I'm not sure if we can truly right the ship.
Well, we are Number 1 in health care expenditure. It is hard to ignore that in 2006, the United States was number 1 in terms of health care spending per capita but ranked 39th for infant mortality, 43rd for adult female mortality, 42nd for adult male mortality, and 36th for life expectancy. Ranking 37th Of what? Certainly not health - or education. The three-yearly OECD Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) report, which compares the knowledge and skills of 15-year-olds in 70 countries around the world, ranked the United States 14th out of 34 OECD countries for reading skills, 17th for science and a below-average 25th for mathematics. U.S. Falls In World Education Rankings, Rated 'Average' If you can't be at the top of those two things, you're never going to be at the top of anything else. I'd welcome some statistics proving your theory, RW, really I would. I presume you have some sound reasons to back up your "thought" that we're near to the top. Something more than that's the way you've always heard it should be.
Maybe the rest of the world is just catching up with us. Check out this amazing 4-minute demonstration: YouTube - Hans Rosling's 200 Countries, 200 Years, 4 Minutes - The Joy of Stats - BBC Four
Those world rankings are usually garbage. We've been through the health rankings many times in here, and I'm not going to write paragraph after paragraph pointing out why, all over again. Basically, the methodology is a joke relative to what is truly important. Ask yourself this, if you got sick, would you rather go to a hospital in England, Italy, or the USA? I think we all know the answer to that. Also, life expectancy is another joke category which we've discussed exhaustively in here. Some moron who was banned a long time ago, somehow thought it was the #1 example of great healthcare. Not. Anyone have the survival rates for cancer handy?
Cancer Survival Rates Vary by Country wonder how Japan's rates will be affected by the nuclear disater... US, Japan and France are at the top. Canada and Australia were next It would be better if you included them in your little "Ask yourself....." Q and A rhetoric. NOW...ask yourself outt of those countries ( USA, Canada, France, Austrailia, and Japan) which one would you most like to be billed by?
In other words, there are no statistics or articles or facts or figures which back up your statement. Why would you think we'd all know the answer to that? Personally, having worked in a hospital for years I'm terrified at the prospect of being hospitalized anywhere. Depends what kind of cancer you're talking about. Researchers found that USA has the best score with 5 years of survival rate for breast cancer at 83.9% and prostate cancer at 91.9%. Japan scores the best for colon cancer at 63% and rectal cancer at 58.2% in men. Women living in France have the highest rates for colon and rectal cancers at 60.1% and 63.9% respectively.

Derek Lam Brings Back the Color for Spring 2010
>> You would never guess that Derek Lam has recently had to address rumors of label mismanagement — he gave the Wall Street Journal a lengthy interview that could be seen as his way of responding in detail — because there was no storm in his Spring 2010 collection, only sunny, beachy lightness, an "ode to summer."
For his first time showing at the Tents, Lam decided to switch things up; he told Style.com: "I haven't done full-on color for a while, and it feels like the right moment now." He peppered a star motif throughout, studding wrap belts (one of which, unfortunately for Charlotte di Calypso, popped open halfway down the runway, leaving her to smile embarrassedly and hold her dress together the rest of the way), printed on dresses, centered in Dean Harris's earrings for the collection. And the finale was a set of pinup-style "deckside one pieces," not for swimming. Vogue's Elissa Santisi styled, Caroline Trentini made her season runway debut, and Lily Donaldson accompanied Lam for his bow, the two chatting and holding hands the entire time.

The woman claiming to be Darwin the monkey's "mother" says she signed over his ownership to Toronto Animal Services "under duress and pressure," after she was told it was the only way she would be able to see the primate again.
"I did not sign voluntarily," Yasmin Nakhuda told CityNews on Tuesday. "I would not have signed."
Nakhuda is now staging a legal fight to have Darwin returned, and has even offered to relocate to an area where owning a monkey is legal.
But she added, "I believe Darwin should be given back to me. I believe he needs his mom."
Darwin, a seven-month-old rhesus macaque, was found wandering at an Ikea store in North York on Sunday donning a tiny shearling coat and a diaper. He managed to escape from a crate in Nakhuda's car while she shopped.
The tiny primate was sent to the Story Book Farm Primate Sanctuary near Sunderland, Ont., about 100 kilometres northeast of Toronto on Monday after being seized.
Nakhuda was fined $240 for breaking the city's prohibited-animal bylaw as it's illegal to keep a monkey as a pet in Toronto.
Story Book's founder Sherri Delaney told CityNews that Darwin is doing well in his new habitat.
"Darwin is doing remarkably well. He's getting well acquainted with his new enclosure. He is very busy and active. He is checking things out," she said.
They are trying to bond Darwin with a new mother-figure — a baboon named Sweetpeas.
"It's a more natural setting for him here. Although they are in enclosures, he is allowed to be a monkey. He's not wearing clothes, nobody is requiring him to act like a human. He's allowed to be his natural and authentic self."
"Certainly we don't see any signs of him missing anyone."
Nakhuda says she'll give up her fight to take Darwin back if she has "concrete evidence" that he's happy.
She currently doesn't have visitation rights at the sanctuary, but wants to be able to see how Darwin reacts to seeing her.
"If Darwin is happy, I'll accept that," she said.

Ikea monkey's 'mom' says she gave up primate under duress

This monkey should live with other monkeys, in his natural habitat… And not be the maternal fantasy of an irresponsible owner. I'm sure there are healthy and safety hazards too, both for humans and the monkey.

Let this poor little monkey learn to be a better monkey than his ignorant human ape would-be protector. Save us all from her.

Sunday, September 07
Qualcomm Stadium
Attendance: 67,115
San Diego, CA (Sports Network) - Jake Delhomme found Dante Rosario in the back of the end zone as time expired to give the Carolina Panthers a 26-24 win over the San Diego Chargers.
D.J. Hackett caught a seven-yard pass on the first play of the drive and got out of bounds, and Muhsin Muhammad had a 13-yard reception over the middle to get to the two-minute warning. A few plays later, on 3rd-and-7 from the San Diego 45, Delhomme found Rosario for an 11-yard gain.
From the 34, Delhomme threw a bullet to Dwayne Jarrett to get to the 23, and with 31 seconds left threw a three-yard pass to Nick Goings. After an incompletion out of the end zone, there were only six seconds left. A short pass brought the Panthers to the 14-yard line with two seconds left, and Delhomme avoided the rush and threw a pass through two San Diego defenders into Rosario's hands for the game-winning score.
Delhomme finished the contest completing 23-of-41 passes for 247 yards and a touchdown to lead the Panthers (1-0). Rosario had 96 yards on seven receptions and the game-winning score. DeAngelo Williams ran for 86 yards on 18 carries in the win.
"Games like this, they don't happen often," Delhomme said. "To be in that locker room, the feeling in that locker room after a game like this, any win in special. But to fight against a good football team, let's face it - they are a very good football team."
Philip Rivers threw for 217 yards and three scores on 17-of-27 passing, as he dropped to 15-2 all-time at home as a starter. LaDainian Tomlinson had 97 yards on 22 carries, but Carolina kept him out of the end zone. Vincent Jackson, Antonio Gates and Chris Chambers each scored a touchdown for the Chargers (0-1).
"I thought a big part of the play was that (Delhomme) was able to pump," Chargers head coach Norv Turner said. "He slid in the pocker and hard pumped. It looked like he was actually trying to throw to someone, and he turned and threw one up and their guy made a play."
In the fourth quarter and San Diego behind by nine, Rivers orchestrated a quick scoring drive. Starting from his own 20, Rivers completed four consecutive passes -- two to Jackson totaling 42 yards. He then found Gates for a 24-yard score two plays later with 6:45 left in the game, bringing the Chargers within 19-17.
On the next Panthers drive, they faced a 3rd-and-5 from their own 32. Hackett caught the pass and got past the first down marker, but fumbled and Shaun Phillips picked it up for San Diego, giving the Chargers the ball at the Carolina 28.
The Panthers committed a holding penalty on the first play of the drive, and Tomlinson ran for eight yards two plays later to set up a 3rd-and-2 on the 16. The Chargers again gave it Tomlinson, who broke a couple tackles and scampered to the seven. On 3rd-and-goal, Rivers found Jackson in the end zone for a touchdown and a 24-19 lead with 2:27 left to play, which eventually led to Carolina's winning drive.
Neither team scored in the first quarter, though the Panthers brought the ball down to the Chargers' one-yard line on fourth down -- only to have the San Diego defense bat down Delhomme's pass attempt and force a change of possession.
A Carolina drive that bridged the first and second quarters resulted in a 44- yard John Kasay field goal, putting the Panthers up 3-0 with 12:35 left in the half.
The Chargers' offense then finally came alive. Rivers had two completions of 16 yards to give the team a first down on Carolina's 44. He then found Chambers wide open behind the defense and hit him for a 44-yard touchdown. The pass completed the six-play, 80-yard drive, giving the home team a 7-3 lead.
Kasay added two more field goals before the half ended -- from 33 and 30 yards out -- to give the Panthers a 9-7 lead going into halftime.
San Diego took the lead back in the third through the ground game. Starting on their own 40 with 12:20 left in the quarter, the Chargers ran for 10 straight plays, including a nine-yard Tomlinson run on a crucial 4th-and-1 on the Carolina 36. The drive stalled on the nine, and Nate Kaeding booted a 27-yard field goal for a 10-9 advantage with 5:10 left.
Carolina's defense came up big late in the third. On 3rd-and-5 for the Chargers from their own 24, Rivers completed a pass to Gates that appeared to keep the drive alive, but the ball was ripped out of Gates' hands and grabbed by Chris Gamble of the Panthers, who took it to the end zone to give Carolina a 16-10 advantage with 1:29 to go in the quarter.
The Panthers defense stifled the Chargers again, forcing a punt from deep in San Diego territory early in the fourth. Getting the ball back on the Chargers' 47 with 14:43 left in the game, the Panthers were able to muster another Kasay field goal -- this one from 49 yards -- to give Carolina a 19-10 lead with just more than 10 minutes left in the game.

Hello summoners, today i was forced to dodge 2 ranked matches due some people trolling. My idea is to add a kick button in champion select in ranked matches and the kicked player should be penalized, sometimes you need to dodge cuz your team gets a very annyoing player just cuz his champion pick was banned, someone else took the role or just for fun trolling, no one wants to wait 5, 15, 30 or 1hr waiting to be able to play again, somehow i do not see fair that mature players need to pay the price of dodge by these reason So how it could work?...Thats actually pretty easy. 1. The player that could, should be kicked must count with 4 kicking votes of current teammates. 2. Add a report section once this player has been booted from the champion selection screen and adding the reason just like in end game screen 3. The player must get the penalty according to the current Leaver buster system: If the game was a ranked match, the player is unable to join the matchmaking queue for 30 minutes, but loses no elo. Adding to every dodge 30 minutes This counter resets after 8 hours without leaving during champion select. After receiving a certain number of leaves, which varies depending on the total number of games played and the distance in time between each leave, the player account gets first warned and then suspended for increasingly long periods of time, resulting in a permanent ban for re-iterated offenses.
i hope to have a few more responses on the poll
Senior Member
actually i like the idea. but people can easily just abuse it. now if it were to show riot the pre game lobby chat then thats fine(which they can see). if it were to go through them before they actually start getting in trouble. ive seen 4 people pick on one person alone in rank and non rank all the time. they troll the living **** out of them. its a good idea but they cant give us to much power because we will abuse it.
kick the trolls!

Junior Member
It was a good idea, but let's also think about some of the negatives. -Player can get kick because of other reason(like his teammate don't agree with the champion he's going to play) -Number 2 can get abuse. -Add more waiting time to/for others. IMO Anyways, it is a good idea you got there. I also hate trolls!
there should be a reporting button at the end of ALL games not just ranked that has "trolling" for it, which should be more penalties, so that they stop trolling all of the games. just yesterday non ranked game we have a trynd who went 0-18-0...
This would not work in normal mode. The reason being you can have 4 trolls (premade) go around constantly kicking and punishing people because its "funny." We all know trolls exist and normal 4 man premades are generally the place that this happens. If it were the case that premades didn't exist and it were solo queue only, then this would work. Until an option arises that allows solo-queue players to avoid premades, this will inevitably fail.
Yes i have been thinking on how to manage the abuse control, this must be focused to most of ranked games, i agree with the 4 premade abuse could be wrong. Adding more time could not really happen, due people will behave knowing they can be kicked and get the penalty of it. and to be honest i will prefer to wait 1-2 min than a 20 min game of a feeder or a troll that will vote no to surrender. This idea needs to be polished, I hope you guys could comment and add some tips of how to make this more efficient and a way to control the abuse. I will be more than glad to hear your ideas as well.

Your cart is empty!
Hi friends its perfectly bath brush
These are very high quality poofs. They do not come apart and the silkiness of them makes it great for everyday use without being rough on your skin. Highly recommend!!
I hope no one buys this product as it is overpriced, even saying $1.00 on bottle. I am going to report them to the Better business bureau. It shows a price in some cases of $2.50. Do they think we are stupid or something?
This is a really good product for dry skin.
For the price and amount, it is well worth the purchase. I tried another fragrance before which I liked just as much, if not better. The former Ivory purchase had a more subtle scent. Aloe is nice though. I would definitely purchase it again.

Dial Global, Inc. Announces Agreement To Enter Into Recapitalization Transactions
NEW YORK, March 4, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Dial Global, Inc. (OTC Pink: DIAL) (the " Company") announced today that the Company, its lenders and certain of its stockholders have agreed to recapitalize the Company's existing credit facilities, other obligations and equity interests.
Spencer Brown, Dial Global's Chief Executive Officer, said, "The new agreements with our lenders represent a significant step forward for the Company. Once these transactions close, we will have de-levered our balance sheet and decreased cash interest expense. The agreements will provide us with greater flexibility to actively manage and grow our business. We look forward to closing these transactions in April and focusing on serving our clients."
As part of the recapitalization, the Company has entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, by and among the Company, General Electric Capital Corporation, as administrative agent and collateral agent, and the lenders party thereto (the " First Lien Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $15 million paydown of the Company's existing term loan and revolving credit commitments. The maturity date under the First Lien Credit Agreement is October 21, 2016.
The Company also entered into a Priority Second Lien Credit Agreement among the Company, the administrative agent, the syndication agent and the lender party thereto, pursuant to which such lender agreed to invest an additional $31.5 million through a term loan facility to the Company, with a maturity date of July 21, 2017. In connection with such lender's agreement to extend credit under the Priority Second Lien Credit Agreement, the Company agreed to issue it penny warrants to purchase 7.5% of the Company's common stock exercisable immediately following the consummation of the recapitalization. The effectiveness of each credit agreement is subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
The lenders (" 2L lenders") under the Company's existing Second Lien Credit Agreement, dated as of October 21, 2011 (the " Second Lien Credit Agreement") agreed, subject to the satisfaction of specified conditions, to restructure their existing approximately $93 million in second lien obligations by amending and restating the Second Lien Credit Agreement to provide for a $30 million term loan that matures five years after the expected closing of the recapitalization and exchanging approximately $63 million in remaining obligations under the existing Second Lien Credit Agreement for a new series of preferred stock of the Company. As part of these agreements, these holders of preferred stock will be granted certain corporate governance rights. The Company also agreed to issue the 2L lenders for nominal consideration warrants to purchase 12.0% of the Company's common stock in connection with the exchange of a portion of the existing second lien obligations for preferred stock, which warrants will be exercisable at various dates after the recapitalization if the Company does not retire the $30 million second lien term loan and the preferred stock held by such 2L lenders prior to the specified dates. Under various subscription and exchange agreements between the Company and the holders of the Company's PIK Notes and Series A Preferred Stock, such holders have agreed, subject to the satisfaction of certain specified conditions, to exchange their PIK Notes and Series A Preferred Stock for equity securities of the Company and have further agreed to make an additional equity infusion of $16.5 million. The recapitalization is expected to become effective on or around April 16, 2013, subject to the satisfaction or waiver of certain conditions precedent set forth in the First Lien Credit Agreement, the Second Lien Credit Agreement and the other transaction documents. There can be no assurances that the recapitalization will be consummated on the terms described herein, or at all. About Dial Global, Inc.

I know I am going to get mixed reviews... But I also know my 9 yr old loves AK, so dinner here would be convenient. I know there are no characters at dinner and that's ok.. Is the food good?
I really enjoyed the food at Tusker House at lunch last year. I thought it was good - especially for buffet food. I would assume dinner would be about the same. Hope that helps
I did the lunch and didn't care for the selection at all. breakfast is way better. Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S2 using DISBoards App
This is our arrival day, and while I want to go to MK, I'm pretty sure I will be outvoted in favor of riding EE as much as humanly possible So I just canceled our Kona Cafe for Tusker...
We had dinner there 4 years ago. I personally didn't love the selection (lots of curry, very African - which makes sense since it is in "Africa", just not my preference) I have some "foodie" friends that love Tusker. What I will say is that there was a large selection of food so I was able to find plenty, my kids didn't even notice that it wasn't "american" and the atmosphere was neat, we enjoyed the African decor. We are going to do Yak & Yeti in a couple of weeks because my kids are big into Asian food. Another option is Rainforest Cafe, which just doesn't sound that great to me. However, I would give TH a try, your son will probably think it is pretty neat!

Ghirardelli, put a Fair Trade label on it!
This year, we've emailed Ghirardelli's headquarters over 700 times and more than 10,000 people have joined the call to ensure that the premium chocolate sold is made using certified Fair Trade cocoa.
Thousands of advocates have shared their personal messages to Ghirardelli expressing their desire to see a Fair Trade label on those chocolate products. Here are a few of those messages:
I would be more inclined to purchase Ghirardelli chocolate and persuade my friends and family to do the same if the company offered a certified Fair Trade chocolate.
David K.
Fair trade is the only fair chocolate. We have stopped buying Ghirardelli because it is not fair trade. Do the right thing and get certified so my family can enjoy your excellent chocolate again.
Eliot S.
I like Ghirardelli chocolates. They taste wonderful and they are made in the USA, so even if they cost a little more, I often buy Ghirardelli. I can't promote this company with my friends and co-workers (ex-coworkers, I am retired) if their chocolate is not fair trade. Put a label on it, continue to make it in the U.S.A. and people I know will continue to buy it.
Linda Joan W.
I have fond memories of watching that chocolate being blended in the Ghirardelli Square Ice cream shop....and eating my favorite Emperor Norton sundae. I have eaten your chocolate for nearly 50 years! I await a label on your chocolate showing concern for those who help produce it. Until then, I am eating less chocolate and searching for labels that let me know my purchase is not causing harm.
Ann W.
I live in the SF bay area and recently was in charge of sending gift boxes packed with specialty items from our local area to business people from out of the state. I really wanted to include Ghirardelli chocolates, but passed them by because I couldn't send out chocolates that had human slavery in its supply chain. Please support the value of human life and we will support the wonderful chocolate factory you have always been.
Karen N.
How I miss the sweet smell emanating from the Ghirardelli factory in my hometown of San Leandro. I am very proud to tell folks that it is the best chocolate around, and that is but one of the reasons. I urge you to make me even more proud of your brand by supporting fair trade practices.
Jamie R.

"Bujold without Miles humour"
As per usual, Lois is spot on the issue. Her writing is tight and interesting. However, in her desire to stay true to Vorpatril's character, she ends up sacrifising the humour and devilish twists that a Miles narrative offered.
In fact, the funniest scene was when Miles makes a brief appearance, and Lois's dialogue blossoms, so to speak. But, straight away, that sword is back in its scabard, as the Vorpatril narrative takes over, and we are back at Mr Straightlace and a unique situation.
In Cetaganda, Vorpatril came off as the opposite to Miles, where Miles was the studious/hard working spy and Vorpatril as the seducer and debonair type. Sadly, that element isn't explored. Instead, Vorpatril becomes a staid and boring character who realises he's becoming a tired old bachelor.
Tej/Tez tries to cover up the blankness of the Vorpatril's narrative, but again, all I can say in despair is, "Miles, Miles, where are you!?"

Once in a while, you need an "Oh, wow," moment. Last week I wrote about the difference between an "Oh, wow," moment and an "Oh, now what?" moment. The architecture of SANAA provides the latter. This weekend, the Miller House in Lexington, Ky., provided me with that moment when your mouth and your eyes open wide and all you can say is: "Oh, wow."
The Miller House is not new. It was designed in 1988 by Jose Oubrerie, who was then the dean of the School of Architecture at the University of Kentucky, for Robert Miller, and was finished in 1992. Miller died a few later, and his heirs had no use for the house. They sold it and the surrounding land so that it could turn into a subdivision. The house fell into disrepair, was vandalized in 2006, and then rescued by a group of local architects and enthusiasts. Their Foundation for Advanced Architecture bought the building, restored it and is now trying to sell it to somebody who will keep it open to the public. This weekend, I met Oubrerie and almost two hundred architecture students—in town for an AIAS regional conference at which I spoke—at the house right as the spring light was fading behind the McMansions that now hem in this modernist masterpiece.
Miller House
There are few, if any working drawings for the Miller House. Oubrerie, his students and collaborators, just started building from the idea that the house would have a concrete frame that would act as brise-soleil, behind which rooms for the couple and their by-then-already-grown children would gather around a central atrium. Each room became its own, semi-closed cocoon suspended in a steel framework or plugged into poured-in-place elements to the south and east sides and connected to the overall construction with metal catwalks and wood stairs.
Façade, rooms and connections weave together into what is one of the most intricate three-dimensional collages I have ever seen. After the house presents itself to you at the top of a slope behind a pond, you circle around to approach from behind. Wood siding alternating between horizontal and vertical bands encases volumes that peek out from behind the concrete, while windows and ledges imply geometries that continue into and beyond the domestic scene the house frames. You enter into a low space and then the atrium erupts above you, extending the full height of the house. From there, a wood-encased study steps down towards the landscape, while the dining room and kitchen move around the corner to the north side. The bedrooms, along with ancillary spaces such as dressing areas and bathrooms, pile up above you, sliding around and through the structure and air conditioning pipes.

So far, so standard: the arrangement is not that unusual, nor is the articulation of structure or the modulation of space to create dramatic effect. Oubrerie, who ran Le Corbusier's office after the master died, is good at such composition. What makes the house extraordinary are the slips and slides away from the relation between space, structure, and circulation you would come to expect. The Miller House is an assembly of cracks, crooks, el-shaped elbows of space, extensions, and ledges. Rooms are not just part of an overall shape, they are separate entities. Oubrerie composed the house of different materials, and then broke it down into frames, planes, lines and moments where suddenly space opens up through a window or a fissure between one wall and the corridor next to it. It is a house not so much of vistas, as of peeks; of intricacy rather than intimacy; of intimation rather than expression.
Miller Interior; Photo by Evan Chakroff
Your eye never stops moving through the Miller House, and every realization of one composition leads you to the edge of another one. But just as you are admiring the way a blue wall frames a wood window into a bedroom, and notice a rhythm of wood post, white-painted wall, and ledge leading towards a stair, you catch the black columns asserting their order in front of your view. I could go on and on—because the house does. The Miller House is a celebration of the old-fashioned joys of making a beautiful building that is so complex and thought-out that it rewards exploration. You feel the architect trying to offer frameworks for all the intricacies of daily life, seeking to frame the lives of the inhabitants by giving them so many nooks and so many places to meet in flesh or in the eye that a new kind of family grows out of this family of forms. The house calls out for this sort of inhabitation, and I can only hope it finds it soon. For now, it serves to delight all those privileged enough to see this masterwork and live it in for a moment of "wow."
I just went to walk around the outside the Miller House. I had been wanting to see it forever. Oh wow is right. I thought maybe the hype in the local news over the house was because it was so different from anything else in Lexington, KY. I thought maybe it would be just a bunch of horizontal and vertical planes compiled to make another ordinary modern house. I was completely wrong. Just walking around the outside I was blown away by how the windows were in the exact right spot, how the extended verandahs and decks were cut out as if from paper, how a slit was cut that allowed a downspout through. The house looks massive, but then again delicate. I am no architect I just love architecture. Now I have to see the inside of the house.

For many party activists, what's been missing in the Obama campaign to date is a strong defensive line. They're looking to Biden, known in the Senate for a sharp tongue, to provide it. On Wednesday, he tried to walk the line of knocking down McCain's positions without flattening the character of the GOP's presumptive nominee himself.
"John McCain is my friend. We've known each other for three decades. We've traveled the world together. And the personal courage and heroism John demonstrated still amaze me," Biden said. "But I profoundly disagree with the direction that John wants to take the country."
What's wrong with McCain's views? He thinks the nation has made great economic progress, Biden said. "I think it's been abysmal." Though claiming a reputation as a maverick, "John sided with President Bush 95 percent of the time," he said. Millions of jobs have left America's shore, he asserted, but "McCain supports tax breaks for corporations that send them." And so on.
The tough talk played well in the Pepsi Center, as the crowd joined Biden's refrain after each attack: "That's not change; that's more of the same."
"We're not going to let what happened in the past, such as 'swift-boating' (a reference to unanswered attacks on John Kerry's war record in the 2004 presidential campaign), happen to this team," says Gilberto Hinojosa, a lawyer and delegate from Brownsville, Texas. "Joe Biden is a guy who's going to roll up his sleeves and throw punches when they need to be thrown."

The Starting Strength System makes use of the body's most basic movement patterns – barbell exercises that involve all the body's muscle mass – utilized over the longest effective range of motion and loaded progressively, to force the adaptations necessary for increased strength.
Unlike other popular exercise protocols, Starting Strength is a training system – a long-term process designed for getting stronger over time, not a random collection of exercises that just make you hot, sweaty, sore, confused, and tired today.
LEARN MORE + GET STARTED + Starting Strength VIDEO
Part 3 of the Olympic Press series with Tommy Suggs. Suggs coaches a lifter through power rack concepts discussed in Starr's Ultimate Strength Exercise.
The idea that the amount of weight you can lift is irrelevant to your choice of squat and that lifting more weight in the low-bar back squat is not in fact building more strength, that it is somehow a parlor trick, is simply incorrect.
"No compensatory strategy designed to improve tissue quality can be successful until full proximal and distal origin and insertion functional mobility ramifications and potentialities have been achieved, and work ranges have reestablished predominance, or in the presence of injury, at least receded to manageable levels of discomfort and/or efficacious tolerability."

General Rules: Two participants will be selected to be murderers. Their goal is to murder everybody in the Forum (playing the game) while avoiding the noose. After every murder, there will be a hanging as MOB JUSTICE will be used to deal with the crime. People will vote on who they think should be punished for the murder. The group will have 1 day to decide who to hang. Murderers will have 3 days to commit the next murder. This will go on until the murderers make up the majority, the game is tied (that still means the murderers win) or all the murderers are hung for their crimes. The Clue System: The Murderers will get 3 CLUEWORDS...two basketball related and one pistons related. To commit a murder, the killer must use 2 of 3 CLUEWORDS in a single post. Once that is done, the killer will PM me the name of the victim and the HINT LETTER. The HINT LETTER will be the 1 pistons related Clueword. ~please note the change this game: the name of the victim will not need to appear for a murder to occur. The Immunity Word: The Murders will choose a Keyword from a list of approved keywords. If a participant uses the keyword in a post, that person gets immunity from murder during the round. When the murderers name the victim, I will run a search for the keyword. If the intended victim already used the keyword during the round, the murder attempt will be foiled AND a clue will be left at the intended scene. They will need to make another murder post (2 of 3 clues) and choose another victim. At the end of the three day period, I will run another search for the keyword. If the intended victim manages to use the keyword, the murderers will have 1 day to choose someone else, post a murder post (2 of 3 cluewords). In a nutshell, if you manage to write (not quote) the immunity word before they try to kill you, a clue letter will be left and you get to live. When they do manage to kill someone, they will have to leave yet another clue. If they finger you to die and you manage to post the immunity word, you get to live and the game gets extended. Victims will not be notified that they were targeted...only that a clue was left...or the murder turn was extended. Word rules: Cluewords will not count when abbreviatedor nicknamed. You can, however, extend the word. Example: block is the word. blk does not count but shotblocking will. Immunity word must be exact. FAQ; Questions may be directed at the blue space to the left or right. Good luck!
:Cry: i would rather die than be a murderer. a guy would need a PhD to understand this... hey, wait a minute...i resemble that remark if i'm named a murderer, i'll probably be the first one in the history of this game to off himself by accident.
HEY!?!!...WAIT A MINUTE! Apparently I'm one of a few on this roster that don't entirely 'get' this game. Is suicide an option? I'd miss prof's posts. ;)
Prof, if you ever read the rules of basketball all at once, you'd never figure you could play. All you need to know is that you post to kill, you post to try to stay alive and then you get to kill your friends...thats the half court playground pickup version of the game.
Good job developing and explaining the rules Slip. [SIGN]It kills me to compliment that dude! [/SIGN]
I'm sure there are a few folks that would love to hang me twice.... ...who am I kidding? I'd off my mom if she was a forum member....
LOL. I must just be on edge. I'm not sure if it's because there may be a murderer lurking about or because I can't figure out why Linwood hasn't accused me yet even though there is no corpus delecti.
i know what you mean. it's quiet in here. too quiet. (though i still don't know if i'm more nervous about getting killed or being designated as a murderer).
It's somewhat comforting to know that I'm not the only one hearing (imaginary?) footsteps behind me. Every time I come on the forum I hold my breath wondering if the killer has struck? Hoping I am not the victim. Wondering which friend will be murdered first. Which friends are murderers? Is it somebody I've confided in? Who can I trust? This game is driving me nuts! :behindsof DAMNIT SLIPPY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah, spooky. I'm pacing around the forum checking the locks, latching the windows, wandering in and out of threads and hearing suspicious sounds. I'm jumpy and irritable and I keep checking the new posts just waiting ... waiting... waiting... In the first Murder game, I was an innocent who was the first wrongfully accused and hung. So I'm more scared of being hung again or something even more gruesome, like burning at the stake. The lynch mob is the truly terrifying aspect of the game. The murderer can kill you with a post before you even feel it. But public execution, the horror, the horror.
it is. the immunity word is chosen from a list of words which are all basketball related. If you typ the immunity word in a post between now and the end of the round, you stave off death. So if you post a lot of basketball related stuff, your chances of using the word increases.

is it possible to write all that AND miss the immunity word??? Thanks J-diddy. now I have more ideas for the immunity word next time.
The rules state that the immunity word must be written, not quoted, so I won't bother to plagiarize jammer's rather impressive list. Instead, here are a few basketball-related words and phrases of my own. I'm sure the immunity word is in here somewhere. in Joe we trust Pistons DNA defensive superstar Chauncey kisses it off the high glass he Reggie Millered him yessir guaransheed trophy love parade I vant to play beer toss brawl suspensions catheter escape goat flex offense homecourt playoff collapse unrestricted free agent teal tazer

(AP) - It'll be Harbaugh versus Harbaugh when Big Bro John's Baltimore Ravens play Little Bro Jim's San Francisco 49ers in the Super Bowl at New Orleans in two weeks. On Thanksgiving Day, 2011, the Harbaughs became the first brothers to coach against each other in any NFL game. Now they'll be squaring off in the biggest game of all. The early line gives the 49ers the edge. San Francisco opens as 5-point favorites.

NORFOLK, VA (July 2014) - Sentara Heart® is leading a newly-formed national alliance to improve the treatment of atrial fibrillation (Afib). Sentara Heart® is a founding member of the National Alliance of Integrated AFIB Centers (NAIAC). NAIAC, comprised of five of the nation's top heart programs, is focused on comprehensive, multidisciplinary Afib care. NAIAC members are collaborating across facilities and specialties, combining resources, research and technologies. "NAIAC is changing how we treat Afib," said Jonathan Philpott, MD, NAIAC president and a cardiothoracic surgeon at Sentara Heart Hospital in Norfolk, Va. "With combined resources and shared expertise, we are helping Afib patients attain a much higher quality of life." Afib, a type of irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia), is a serious issue affecting nearly 5.1 million people in the U.S. The risk of developing Afib increases with age, so that figure could rise to 15.9 million sufferers by 2050. The goal of NAIAC is to provide collaborative, comprehensive care. When patients come to a NAIAC center, they are under the care of both a heart surgeon and an electrophysiologist, a cardiologist who specializes in heart rhythm disorders. Working together, with the patient present, the surgeon and electrophysiologist design a care plan tailored to each patient's individual needs. NAIAC centers emphasize collaboration. Reaching across facilities, Afib specialists will share research, expertise and technology. Patients will receive evidence-based care that offers the best outcome possible. "Sentara Heart is proud to be an integral part of this innovative organization," said Joseph T. Butz, Senior Divisional Vice President, Cardiac and Transplant Services at Sentara Healthcare. "Collaborating with other top heart hospitals will help us provide the highest level of Afib care possible for our patients." "We are excited to partner with NAIAC," said Mellanie True Hills, Founder and CEO of StopAfib.org, a patient advocacy group and a founding member of the alliance that works closely to support hospital members. "With the combined research and expertise of the NAIAC centers, we can bring innovative treatment options to Afib patients." About Afib Afib may feel like a fluttering or rapid heartbeat. Sometimes, it can feel like chest and throat pressure resembling a heart attack. Patients may dismiss the symptoms as insignificant. However, left untreated, Afib can lead to a multitude of heart problems, including heart and valve diseases, sleep apnea and chronic fatigue. It can also lead to congestive heart failure and stroke. In fact, Afib increases the risk of stroke five-fold. About the National Alliance of Integrated AFib Centers (NAIAC) The National Alliance of Integrated AFib Centers (NAIAC) is a coalition of hospitals, physicians and treatment centers that use an integrated approach to treat cardiac arrhythmia. We foster a synergy between cardiac specialties to provide a comprehensive and personalized approach to treating AFib, atypical in most settings. NAIAC cardiothoracic surgeons work hand-in-hand with electrophysiologists, cardiologists and other providers to determine and deliver the best treatment based on each patient's individual needs. Alliance members also partner together, across facility and practice boundaries, to share data, research and resources, all in an effort to improve education and to advance the treatment of Afib. NAIAC founding members • Sentara Heart – Norfolk, VA• Cedars-Sinai Heart Institute – Los Angeles, CA • St. Helena Arrhythmia Center – Napa Valley, CA • St. Vincent's Medical Center – Bridgeport, CT • Orlando Health – Orlando, FL • www.StopAfib.org

HONOLULU (AP) — A Honolulu café owner who tried to smuggle $100,000 out of Hawaii was ordered to forfeit the money.
U.S. District Judge Helen Gillmor also ordered Yen Chang Su to serve three years of probation.
Su owns Taste Tea, a popular café on Kapiolani Boulevard. He's also a citizen of Taiwan attending graduate school in California.
A customs officer in August stopped Su at Honolulu Airport as he prepared to board a Hawaiian Airlines flight to Taiwan.
Su declared he was carrying $9,500. A pat-down search revealed seven bundles of cash in the front and back of Su's underwear.
Su pleaded guilty in November. He said he wrapped the money around his body to smuggle it to Taiwan to avoid paying taxes.
