Information of extreme size, diversity and complexity – is everywhere. This disruptive phenomenon is destined to help organizations drive innovation by gaining new and faster insight into their customers. So, what are the business opportunities? And what will they cost?
Big data forces you to wrestle with three key strategic and operational challenges:
Information Strategy:
You need to harness the power of information assets. Big data is causing enterprises to find new ways to leverage information sources to drive growth.
Data Analytics:
You need to draw more insight from your big data analytics or large and complex datasets. You need to predict future customer behaviors, trends and outcomes.
Enterprise Information Management:
Information is everywhere - volume, variety, velocity - and it keeps growing. You need to manage access to growing extreme information management requirements and drive innovation in rapid information processing.
Are you trying to figure out how your enterprise can benefit from big data and why it's important? Don't get left behind. Uncover the business opportunities you can derive from big data. You need to make the strategic decisions that will transform your business.
Is your organization prepared for an information-led transformation? How will you harness big data to improve your strategic decision making? You need to know which investments will deliver the most business value and ROI.
Is your organization prepared for an information-led transformation? How will you harness big data to improve your strategic decision making? You need to know which investments will deliver the most business value and ROI.
By 2015, Gartner predicts that 4.4 million jobs will be created around big data. Does your organization lack the "data scientist" talent required to exploit big data? How will you assemble the right teams and align skills?
IT is under pressure to tap into growing quantities of data to help the business make better, informed decisions by combining new sources of big data with existing enterprise dark data. How will you uncover more customer and business insight and more data value?
Predictive Analytics
How are you using data for predictive and real-time analysis across various business domains? How can you use unstructured enterprise information and data to drive a better client experience? How are you leveraging new data types: sentiment data, clickstream data, video, images and text data?
Behavioral Analytics
How will you tap into complex data sets to create new models to drive business outcomes, decrease costs, drive innovation or improve customer satisfaction?
Data Interpretation
What new business analysis can be drawn from your data? How will IT help support insight discovery and new information trends? You need to know which data to integrate for new product innovation.
What are you doing with all of the data your organization collects? You have many data disparate sources – from your enterprise's "dark data" and partner, employee, customer and supplier data to public, commercial and social media data – that you need to link and exploit to its fullest value.
User Expectations
Your employees are demanding more access to big data sources. What's your plan to manage access to these information sources? What are the use cases?
How can you deliver access to big data in a rapid and cost-effective way to support better decision-making?
How will you link these new sources of diverse data? You need to plan the impact on your data center. Have you identified the processes, tools and technologies you need to support big data in your enterprise?
Through 2015, 85% of Fortune 500 organizations will be unable to exploit big data for competitive advantage.

THE LEFTOVERS Recap: I've Got Dreams
By Alicia Lutes on August 17, 2014
Everyone has dreams. Dreams for a better tomorrow. Dreams for themselves, the world, the way we live: our own everyday lives. Realizing those dreams? That takes work. And effort. And passion. And maybe even a little bit of madness (hello, Kevin Garvey.). It's important to remember those dreams lest you wake up one day to realize your whole life has passed you by. If anything is important to the folks on The Leftovers, it's waking up and realizing what's truly important. (Sorta.)
Originally, I wanted to title this 'No, Patti, I don't understand you,' because I was feeling more lost than any child of Garvey we've met thus far. Because this episode? It was a head-scratcher, to say the least. We're two episodes away from the season one finale, so Damon Lindelof and Co. are clearly setting the stage for something big and ominous. But what is it? And who's got the right idea?
Everyone is in a state of stasis: they can't really let themselves live (willingly or otherwise), while simultaneously unwilling to die, either. Well, except for Patti. Oh, Patti, Patti, Patti. For every possibly logical belief of the Guilty Remnant, there is a hell of a lot of nonsensical ballyhoo going on, too. And Patti's explanation of their silence and the need for her own death was one of them.
Like the revelation that Gladys had been murdered by Patti. (A thing I had hypothesized as possible to my viewing buddy at the time.) Why? And how does that fit into the GR's way of being? Because life is meaningless, and what we should've all been doing, apparently, is prepping for imminent death. Honestly, the logic of the Guilty Remnant is only something I can follow to a point. Because if life is truly meaningless, then why force other people to make the same choice as you? Why waste all that time and money when there's some allegedly real crazy business coming down the pike? If you want the free will do smoke cigarettes in all white, why aren't people allowed to decide that doing nothing is fine, too? Do our really want to involve people with half the heart for the stuff if what's allegedly coming next is so serious?
And to what end does Patti's death serve? She was so intent upon dying in that cabin in Cairo. And hers was a death she seemingly knew was going to happen. The way in which she handled the situation, none of Kevin's actions shocked her: until he let her go. Was the goal to implicate him? To affect him in some way? To drive the point home that ignoring the Sudden Departure's "meaning" kills us all? To give her death, above others, some sort of meaning? How can anyone be so sure of anything in this world of theirs, let alone why and how millions of people disappeared without a trace?
This, naturally, got me thinking. Is that the point of the whole of these cults? To change people and how they handle a tragedy this terrifyingly inexplicable? To rewire the world? To teach humanity that some things cannot and should not be moved on from? Why?
On an intimate, personal level, it is evident enough that this has affected people. Every person's individual story has proven as such. No one is complacent in willful ignorance. No one is happy or OK. They're merely getting on. Grief is a personal thing, and no matter how they handle it, it works for them. And either it will or will not prepare them for "what comes next" — if anything does. It is up to each individual to step up to that personal challenge.
Like Nora. Is she the fully cured, happy-go-lucky thing she portrayed to Jill? All sexy, Kevin-filled romps with rice krispie treats? No! But is her even having the gun a bad thing? I tend to say no, but I am not Nora. Nor is Jill. But Jill was not looking to prove Nora wrong with the gun battle. She wanted to believe that Nora was as cured as she said she was. For whatever reason the gun was a symbol of that. Jill wanted to believe that it gets better, but when she saw that maybe it doesn't, she gave up and is on her way to becoming the newest member of the GR. Much to Laurie's relief.
The one to really worry about is Kevin. After the escalated creepiness that was Shirthenge and all the events surrounding, it is evident that his dreams take him on terrible adventures: proof, perhaps, that Grandpa Garvey might not be so far off?
The most interesting aspect of all of the opposing sides is the imploration that the world needs to wake up. That, well, that feels true. The complacency people have in their own grief and purposeful misunderstanding of such an event, or ANY event that changes things, is unacceptable. In all of life. A wakeful existence is the only thing that keeps a person truly alive.
Maybe the cults all ave some part of the mystery right. Maybe The Bridge of Holy Wayne's crusade is a thing. Check, maybe it's Kevin, Jr. Maybe the GRs are right about an oncoming second onslaught (hey: that mass grave was reported as suddenly empty now, as was reported on the news while Meg watched on TV). Maybe the voices talking to Kevin Sr aren't going to give up on him that easy. Maybe they're all getting part of the message and need to work together to find a whole point.
Or maybe there just isn't one. Maybe we just don't understand, Patti. Maybe we never will.
Some Thoughts:
– After all this time, why talk now, Patti?
– Meg's outburst: anger at Matt or more at herself for committing?
– The mysteries of Josh the Dogman continue. Is he a ghost or an angel?
– WHERE IS TOMMY? I am worried.
– And WHAT in the actual …freaking heck is happening in Kevin's sleeping hours? Seriously. That Shirthenge (as I'm calling it) was THE creepiest thing. And all those boots. WHAT is going on?!
Some of my thoughts. I was thinking the bodies in the church are there for when they burn it down. To what purpose or significance, I'm not sure. Perhaps the departed never left and are still around like spirits. This is driving the dogs wild because they can see/sense them still there. You can only hear the voices if you were in contact with a departed at the time they disappeared. This will also allow them to influence you in your sleep sort of like possession. I think Kevin was having sex when his mistress departed. The departed (or some) want the dogs dead because they can sense them. One departed possessed Kevin to have sex with Aimee and she bit him but decided to keep quiet about it. The GR are a suicide cult and believe they are all dead and stuck in limbo. They are releasing all things that tied them to the old world so they can pass on to be judged. Wayne is the devil or demon and when he takes your pain away, he takes your soul. But you have to give it to him willingly. His spawn will grow up to rule and torture those who remain. i'm going to guess there are 9 of them. The last scene with the bald guy walking out seemed to be clearing talking to the voices and not to Kevin. Patti or himself.
My theory: the GR are a suicide cult, and they want the town to kill them. How? They stole all those pictures of departed people and had that creepy company make copies, which they are going to put in everyone's home on Memorial Day, driving them into a homicidal rage. Kevin will be in yet another pickle as A) he's crazy, B) His new girlfriend is pushed over the edge and C) his ex-wife and daughter are about to be killed by the angry townsfolk. And … cliffhanger til season 2.
And when I say copies, I mean those creepy fake bodies we saw at the convention.
This. I'm pretty sure this is what's up. Thank you that was killing me.
Don't watch this show while single. FYI.

Toyota held its first meeting Tuesday for a special committee of quality experts set up to help salvage a reputation battered by massive recalls and reports of runaway vehicles.
The company appointed chief quality officers in key overseas regions -- including North America -- where the biggest problems have surfaced and promised to include outside experts in evaluating quality measures.
"I invite you to join me in working with our colleagues worldwide to regain consumer confidence," Toyota Motor Corp. President Akio Toyoda said in kicking off the meeting of about 70 executives, workers and representatives from its global operations gathered at headquarters in central Japan.
"Let us pool our wisdom and work hand in hand toward achieving that goal. And let this gathering today be our first step," he told the crowd.
Under an effort to beef up quality checks, Toyota said it will set up four additional facilities to train employees in quality controls -- in North America, China, Europe and Southeast Asia -- modeled after the training center it already has in Japan.
Toyota said it had also decided to have brake override -- a system that allows the brakes to work if they are pressed together with the accelerator -- in new models starting this year.
The special committee will also meet regularly to exchange insight and tackle safety issues constructively, according to Toyota.
Toyota has recalled more than 8 million vehicles around the world since October for defective gas pedals, faulty floor mats and braking software glitches. Most of them have been in the U.S., where Toyota sales fell 9 percent in February, according to Autodata Corp.
Toyota showed reporters its facilities at headquarters, which are designed to check on possible defects in vehicles and parts targeted in consumer complaints.
Among the tests were an X—ray machine that presented three—dimensional computer imagery, an area that simulated heavy rains with water squirting from 400 nozzles, and a room that got both freezing cold and steaming hot to check how vehicles react under extreme weather conditions.
The media tour was intended to illustrate the hard work at the automaker to ensure quality control and respond to driver complaints. Toyoda has acknowledged that the company may have failed to be as quick or responsive as consumers would have liked about defects, especially overseas.

Phoenix, AZ (Sports Network) - Steve Nash scored 15 points and made many game- saving plays down the stretch, as Phoenix kept its playoff hopes alive with a 118-115 victory over Denver at US Airways Center.
Grant Hill chipped in 23 points and grabbed 10 rebounds for the Suns, who won their season-high fifth straight game. Jason Richardson totaled 22 points in the win, while Shaquille O'Neal finished with 19 points.
With the win, the Suns moved to three games back of Dallas for the eighth and final playoff spot in the Western Conference.
"It was huge for us. We are playing for our playoff life right now," said Richardson. "Every win is big for us and every game is big for us. It is great that we battled and stuck in there for the win."
Carmelo Anthony poured in 29 points for the Nuggets, who had won five in a row coming in. Chauncey Billups added 20 points and eight assists in defeat, while Kenyon Martin offered 18 points and nine boards.
Despite the loss, Denver still holds a one-game lead over Utah and Portland in the Northwest Division.
"It was a hard fought game, basically two playoffs teams in a playoff atmosphere," said Billups. "It was disappointing to lose, but we just couldn't get over the hump at the end of the game."
Knotted up at 113 with 66 seconds showing, Martin was called for an offensive foul and Phoenix took over.
The Suns came down and Hill nailed a jumper with 58.6 seconds showing to give the home team a 115-113 lead.
On Denver's ensuing touch, Nash took a charge from Billups to give the Suns the ball back, which led to Jared Dudley missing a shot as the shot clock expired. Anthony Carter grabbed the board and Denver called a timeout with 21.9 seconds left.
Following the stoppage, Billups went in for a layup but had it carom off the iron. Hill hauled in the rebound and was fouled before hitting 1-of-2 to make it 116-113 with 6.2 ticks left.
Billups was immediately fouled and hit both shots to make it a one-point game with 5.4 seconds left.
The Suns then inbounded and Nash was fouled with 3.9 seconds left and hit both shots to make it 118-115.
The Nuggets had a chance to tie it, but Anthony's three-point bid was off the mark.
The Suns were up 29-22 after the first quarter but, after Linas Kleiza drained a buzzer-beating three, the Nuggets cut it to 63-60 at the break.
Three consecutive baskets from Nene to open the third quarter gave the Nuggets an early three-point lead. Denver kept pushing and stretched it to a 14-4 run, which made it 74-67 with 8:42 left to play.
Moments later, two free throws from Anthony ballooned Denver's lead to 84-73.
Four points from Hill helped the Suns close the quarter out on an 11-4 run. Richardson closed it out with a pair from the line to make it 92-88 headed into the final 12 minutes.
A Richardson free throw, Dudley's layup and Alando Tucker's three-point play gave the Suns the lead back, 97-94, with 9:20 left to play.
Carter answered with a jumper that set the tone for six straight Denver points. Martin's jumper made it 100-97 right around the midway point.
With 4:36 left Hill's layup cut it to 103-102.

I am going to keep the forums closed in this state for a few days while I remove and strip down BWO to be a very simple thing after which I will be reopening the site in a read only manor. All public forums (none staff) will be viewable to anyone who wants to see them and the chatbox will be left atop of every page so people can still chat and do as they want.

Harry Potter film No. 6: How true to the book?
Fans have had to wait an extra eight months for its release (due to a delay, "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince," set to debut this Wednesday, July 15, was originally scheduled to hit theaters last November) and so there's been that much more time to wonder.
How much will Harry Potter film No. 6 resemble the J.K. Rowling book from which it comes?
It has been more than 10 years since the first Harry Potter book was released in the United States, and that means that there's now a whole generation of 20-something readers who literally grew up with the books. So perhaps it's not surprising that much of the speculation over the film is taking place on the blogs of college students.
On DNOnline (the Ball State University online news daily), Aly Brumback interviews students planning to attend that first midnight showing. Senior photojournalism major Cassandra Adamson predicts film No. 6 will be darker than the earlier films. And that's a good thing, says Adamson.

As one who has always regarded Feminism as a con, allow me to remind you... There is no rationale for women in the workforce... Female labour is as generally undesirable as child labour... Just because a child can do a job... and WANTS to do the job... is no reason why the child should do the job... It may be bad for them... and interrupt their development
Men have a right to work as breadwinners with wives and children to support... That is a reason for work... Women have no wish to support their husbands
And employment masculinises... It turns a boy into a man... It completes him and straightens out his life... That is a reason for work... but the same process turns a woman into a 'female eunuch' as the Feminists say... Work makes men attractive as partners, but women unattractive
Women have nothing to offer in the workforce... Get used to it!... At best, they are the same as the men... more usually they slow the operation down...
And every woman with a job means a man without a job...
I go to the liquor store... a govt monopoly here in western Canada... a 50:50 male/female operation... and there is security everywhere... because the women cannot do the job
Women in a submissive role are as good as men in an asertive role... like sex and dancing... life is a dance with the male playing the lead role and the female getting into time and adding to his drive... (submission is too strong a word, but you know what I mean)
A team of ten men and one woman is as gung-ho and productive as a team of eleven men... But that does not mean a collection of fifty men and fifty women is as productive as a team of eighty men supported by twenty separately-organised women's auxiliaries
(There's no point yattering because it can easily be checked out by an empirical experiment... Which has never been done!)
Men and women are EQUAL... We are not the same... We have our strong and weak points... and women's strong point is childcare and caring generally... In pretty well all other respects, women are inferior... not so much individually as collectively... Men can get jobs done without women... Women can't do anything without men... They can only tag along in small numbers as equals
Just remember... The workforce was always organised on the basis of men as breadwinners, and women as homemakers, in single-income homes... Men had a right to high-wage jobs not as men but as breadwinners with wives to support... And it was morally obnoxious for Feminists to demand the same rights for women... That's double-dipping and freeloading
That's where we went wrong... and the point we have to focus on if we want to get back on track
holy crap!
I think that its is true that women develop different types of relationships. Women like to have a close group of a few small friends, whereas men have a larger group of friends that have a denser relationship. I think that this is why men are able to network better. they do not care to build strong relationships as long as the contacts are made and the job gets done. Also, for decades men have been the ones running corporations while the women stayed home. Therefore, after so many years of experience, men know how business works.
Women have limitations to keep in the network. For a man is easy to ask his fellow colleagues to go and have drinks together... no one is going to take this in any negative way... a woman could be judged in a negative way if she takes this lead... I have found this very difficult trying to keep a network to raise a business. I know that male colleagues can easily go have drinks and create this comradeship... A woman inviting the drinks could be judged in a negative way... So, it is not that men have better networking skills. It is simply that society imposes models that make for women very difficult to approach networks in the way men do. As a woman I really don't know what is the effective way to overcome this kind of situation. Probably, The Economist can ask to the CEO of Pepsi or other women at the top what have they done to be in the network.
We all know that having connections is almost crucial in advancement and being successful. As mentioned in the article, "women tend to have a few strong relationships." This is because women communicate with intentions on building a relationship in a rapport manner. Men on the other hand communicate in a report style with intentions of establishing authority and showing significance. These styles of course are very beneficial for men specifically in the business world and not so great for the women.
In my opininion this is also due to women's lack of self belief and confidence.
Women feel intimidated to speak up in a corporate world still ruled by men.
Women are still too afraid to ask the questions, however they seem to disregard the fact that no one has all the answers and this is why people network: to share knowledge, skills, contacts, to help and being help by others etc.
An effective network creates 'shortcuts' to success!
Until only a couple of years ago many women, even within corporate women's networks, looked down on "networking" with disdain. Their vision was of a disreputable activity focused on old boys clubs, self promotion and manipulation of contacts.
As someone who speaks about networking to women's networks, I have seen a massive change in attitude over the last two years. Networking is now more widely recognised as a valid activity to build a career and achieve better results. Women still, however, tend to find it more difficult to take credit for their own achievements or to ask for help when needed.
Networking is a key tool for career progression and its one that many women are only just starting to embrace. It will be interesting to see how the stats reflect that over the next ten years.
Connections are essential to having a long and successful career. The more people you know, and connect with the better off you are. The saying "It's not what you know, but who you know." sums up this article. Another example of the power of networking is the website LinkedIn. On LinkedIn you can "connect" with people and they are able to write you a recommendation for other people and employers to see. It is clear that networking is a powerful tool in getting a good job, and climbing the corporate ladder.
Men obviously have better connections. First off, a man to man conversation is a a lot stronger of a bond in the work force then a woman to man conversation. It is a power position being a CEO, and many woman do not demand the respect that men do. It is sad that woman arent given the chances as much as men because they obviously can do the work as well. It is a social structure problem that is slowly being equaled.
This makes perfect sense. For example, if you look at the top investment bankers, they are paid not so much for their subject-specific knowledge, as for their access to specific networks. This means not just that the networks exist, but that the bankers (and similar A types)actually know how to use the network. Using a network to the max requires the ability to ruthlessly exploit ones 'friends', as well as to put up with potential slights -- both of these traits are alien to most women, but are significantly more common among 'high-functioning' alpha males.
Having good connections and contacts are nearly crucial in moving up in life. Although you need a little bit more than a friend who knows somebody, having that friend can only help your chances.

Discussion of effective natural ways to handle stress Feb. 26
From press release
Stress has become one of the most commonly-used words in many conversations and does not appear to have age-related boundaries. Young children through older adults face stress triggers regularly, and knowing how to be physically prepared ahead of time can dramatically affect our ability to deal with stress.
Dr. Michael Nelson, Rock Valley Chiropractic Associates, will share insight into dealing with stress at Rock River Center at 10:30 a.m., Friday, Feb. 26. Dr. Nelson shares health and wellness programs in a "Lunch and Learn" format every other month at RRC. This free program is open to anyone interested in attending.
Rock River Center is at 215 W. Washington St., Oregon. Make your reservation by calling (815) 732-3252 or (800) 541-5479. A potluck lunch will follow the program, and you are welcome to join the group for lunch; just bring a dish to share. This and other recreational programs are sponsored by the Oregon Park District. For other activities, visit rockrivercenter.com or oregonpark.org.

Hello everyone I've brewed about a dozen or so batches now. Gone from extract to BIAB to my current AG batch sparge setup in the past several months. Looking back over my Beersmith recipe numbers for my beers, most of the time I'm missing my "post-boil" OG by a fair bit, but I seem to hit my preboil gravity targets (according to beersmith) almost every time. Usually the post-boil gravity number isn't more than a few points higher than the pre-boil readings. Examples - the Saison I brewed last night - the estimated preboil gravity was 1.053 - I hit 1.050. The target OG was 1.066 - I hit 1.054. The wheat beer I brewed a few months ago - preboil target was 1.042 - I hit 1.044; target OG was 1.052 - I hit 1.046. Looking back over almost all my recipes, this seems to be the same story for most of my batches. However, sometimes I hit both numbers perfectly (this is the exception, not the rule), which confuses me further, since I haven't changed anything related to my boiling/cooling technique since day 1. I can get into my brewing technique specifics if needed, but my question is what in general would cause this to happen? Is it something with my boil? I think I'm taking my hydrometer measurements properly (after letting my samples cool to room temp), but maybe I'm not? My beer ends up tasting fine (great, IMO), so it's not a huge concern, but I'm curious as to the number discrepancy. Thanks.
There is only one factor in the difference between pre-boil and post-boil gravity; boil-off. If you're not hitting your predicted post-boil volume you have to adjust the rate in your software.
^ exactly this I use beersmith 1 and 2 and you need to calculate your boil off here is the formula you want to use based upon your kettles diameter Estimating Boil-Off from the Kettle Diameter In metric, the estimate is... Litres per hour boiled off = pi*(diameter of kettle in cms/2)*(diameter of kettle in cms/2)*0.00428. So, for the 40 cm pot we used in our sample profile above, the calculation was... Litres per hour boiled off = 3.14159*40/2*40/2*0.00428 = 5.38 L/Hr If you need to you can use inches instead of metric.
You say you're cooling the samples to room temp, are you measuring it with a thermometer? 5-10 degrees could be the difference. Other than that, I agree with the above, you're just dialing in your boiloff rate. Are you accurately measuring the volume before/after the boil? That's very important for these measurements. No offense to Aschecte, but I think it's pretty tough to accurately predict what your boiloff rate is going to be. Kettle diameter/geometry is only a small part of it, environmental conditions (humidity) come into play a little bit but your burner's heat output is the most significant IME. If you're using a kitchen stove you might see 0.5 gallons per hour, if you're outside on a monster propane burner you might see 2-3 times that. As long as you know your volumes before and after, you can adjust your recipes accordingly.
"I can get into my brewing technique specifics if needed, but my question is what in general would cause this to happen?" Bad measurements or improper calculations. Points sugar * volume before boil = points sugar * volume after boil. Sugar doesn't evaporate. However, there is an error with every measurement. eg the scale on a hydrometer is only 1 point or about 2% error rate. The measurement on your volumes is a usually in 1/4 gallon increments at best. You put those together and being "off" by 5 or 6% is within the margin or error of your testing equipment.
double check your pre & post boil volumes
I have this problem as well. I think I have my boil off rate set too high to compensate for what are really equipment losses (I do use a pump both during the mash and to whirlpool/recirc at the end of the boil). My volumes are coming out fine, but like you jbags, my pre and post/boil gravities aren't telling the same story.
Batch counter: 108 batches (11/29/11-1/5/2015).
Usually stuff like this is just margin of error given less-than-precise volume (and hydrometer) measurements. Having a good proxy for your boiloff rate really helps.
There are only 10 types of people in this world. Those that understand binary, and those that don't.

Firearms account for approximately 10 percent of deaths among U.S. children aged 5 to 14 years, according to background information in the article. For every firearm-related death among children, three children are injured by guns but do not die. Many of these injuries occur when children gain access to household firearms. Guns are just as prevalent in homes with children as in homes without, the authors write.
Frances Baxley, M.D., San Francisco General Hospital, and Matthew Miller, M.D., Sc.D., Harvard School of Public Health, Boston, surveyed 314 pairs of parents and children aged 5 to 14 years in a family practice clinic in Alabama. Parents in the waiting room completed a 20-question survey about firearms, while children went to a separate room and answered questions read aloud by researchers, so that parents and children were not aware of each others' answers.
Of the 314 parents, 201 (64 percent) reported keeping at least one firearm in the home, and 91 percent of those had discussed gun safety with their children. A total of 141 of the parents with guns in the home reported that their children knew where the guns were stored, and 61 said that they thought their children had handled a firearm in the home. Overall, 39 percent of parents who reported that their children did not know the location of the gun and 22 percent of those who said their children had never handled the a weapon in the home were contradicted by their children's responses to the same questions. "Parents who locked their guns away and discussed gun safety with their children were as likely to be contradicted as parents who did not take such safety measures," the authors write.
The results, they conclude, "suggest that in a region where gun ownership is prevalent and where children are frequently included in gun-related activities, many mothers appear to be misinformed about the extent of their children's potential access and exposure to household guns."

A research team led by the La Jolla Institute for Allergy & Immunology report that the Bcl6 gene triggers the body to produce disease-fighting antibodies. Their research showed that turning on this gene produced more CD4 T-helper cells, which subsequently tell the B cells to produce antibodies. The finding is published online in Science in a paper titled "Bcl6 and Blimp-1 are reciprocal and antagonistic regulators of T follicular helper (TFH) cell differentiation." It has been well established that antibody production is a multistep process that involves interactions between several cellular players, key among them CD4 helper T cells. "For many years, we in the scientific community thought that one of the four varieties of CD4 helper type 2 cells (known as TH-2 cells) triggered the antibody process," explains the La Jolla Institute's Shane Crotty, Ph.D., lead scientist on the team, which also included researchers from Yale University. "But about 10 years ago scientists realized this was incorrect and that there must exist a fifth variety of CD4 helper T cell that initiated antibody production. It was named TFH."Dr. Crotty's team set out to understand the inner workings of the TFH pathway. "We discovered that the Bcl6 gene was like an on and off switch, or master regulator, in this process. In a series of experiments, we showed that if you turn on this gene, you get more CD4 T-helper cells (the TFH type), and it's those cells that are telling the B cells to produce antibodies." Dr. Crotty's group tested the finding by using a cellular mechanism to turn off the Bcl6 gene. Turning off the gene stopped the production of the TFH cells. "Without this genetic trigger, no TFH cells were produced and consequently no antibodies." The researchers also found that the more TFH cells produced, the greater the antibody response. The Yale researchers who were part of the team were also able to duplicate these results.

Dec 12, 2013What "Angry Birds Rio" lacks are new ideas. It's basically the exact same as the previous two but with some change in scenery. If they're going to make another Angry Birds game, I really hope that there's some new additions in the features.
Dec 5, 2013Rovio is all about making money these days, and Angry Birds Rio is where they shifted to just that. Pretty much the same old Angry Birds game with some movie characters. I got an overdose of this game while playing the original, and this was the third Angry Bird game with the same mechanics?
Oct 18, 2013i love angry birds and the movie rio and this has to be the best movie licensed game.its the same angry bird fun but with new bosses,settings from the movie,and additions of characters from the movie.this game pays off.buy it now
Mar 14, 2013i cant stand how heavily OVER RATED this franchise is, its just throwing birds at pigs, REALLY REPETITIVE and BORING! i can't see how people are liking this, and i don't post this review only to hate on angry birds, no, this game, is EXACTLY the same as ALL of the other titles in this franchise, it was fun, for like the first couple minutes, but after that it's just up and boring. period.
Feb 25, 2013"Rio" is another Angry Birds series game, that stands only as a timekiller. Forget about innovation, you're killing time. At this point I realized, that Rovio was in need of something new, not just more money, damn it. Even as timekilling machine Angry Birds will not live forever, but at the moment it's at the right place.
Jan 8, 2013Angry Birds Rio is just like the same old Angry Birds but has a extra thing other than birds in cages. That is:
-Graphics have improved
-The color is more vibrant
-Rio is excellent
-The crowd is now and then exciting
To me Rio is better than the original and must be downloaded for your iOS -
Oct 1, 2012It is as great as the original Angry Birds. The gameplay, visuals, features and the overall presentation of the game is excellent. I'm looking forward for more Angry Birds in the future...........
Jan 5, 2012
Oct 14, 2011A fun game, but at this point, I think Rovio Mobile should stop with the Angry Birds games. Not that they are bad; they are downright excellent, but that sometimes you get bored from flinging birds at pigs.
Jun 8, 2011It's great and realy funny but it's kinda annoying that you have to wait a whole month just to get to the next level.
May 29, 2011i like the game and i share it to my friends,it reminds me of a game Angry pingu .it has iphone verison.Friends can try to have a little fun.This is a cool assault game. Funny, nice grapics & really cool
May 21, 2011Rich, colorful visuals, addictive gameplay, and a whacky sense of humor -- Angry Birds Rio has all of the charm of the original, yet adds a fresh new design that makes it entirely worth the 99 cents.
Apr 22, 2011It's certainly an interesting concept based on a great film, but is really no different to the original Angry Birds, even if it is still entertaining and somewhat addictive.
Apr 7, 2011This new Angry Birds new game or flavor comes with tons of new stuff. So far they have done the Original, Xmas, Halloween, St. Patty's day and now Rio, and to top it all a brand new movie titled "RIO". Be sure to try the ultimate time management game called MISTER MIGUEL is FREE! http://bit.ly/mrmigapp Check it out!
Apr 1, 2011This game is great but its just like the noermal one just with birds in cages and monkeys. I was sad when I saw that we had to wait for may before any new levles :(. plus this is the first Angry Birds game with adds was it Foxs idea?

May 11, 2011As popular as the series is, some evolution needs to happen if it wants to have the long term staying power of a Mario or a Pac-Man. In Rio, we're starting to see the first glimmer of that evolution.
Apr 23, 2011Its great presentation and level design and its great replay value make Angry Birds Rio a must for Apple users, both Angry Birds followers and newcomers.
Apr 20, 2011The Rio version reinforces the privileged status of compulsory purchase by those who may have access to it.

Beamish Genuine Irish Stout Clone - BrewmeisterInTng October 21, 2005 This was my first all grain brew. I have done probbalbly 15 or 20 extract brews. Man what I have been missing I just loved AG. It has been in my corny Keg for a week now and I tapped it last night. very nice full head kind of brown head though not tan and creamy like beamish. Still some sedimentation coming out of the keg. taste LOTS of coffie flavors strong bitter bite on the first couple of sips but it mellows nicely after Half a glass. I am excited to see how this one ages. If I was going to change anything I may go down on the black patent. I got this clone recipie off of the beer tools.com site and a couple of comments made there said similar things about the black patent. I was wanting feed back from people here about the addition of malto dextrin to this recipie. what would be the pro and cons of adding it and what would be lacking in the way of flavor or mouthfeel to make me want to add malto dextrin? If this ages well I think I am gonna have to drop off my nitro tank and get it filled and try to nitrotap the next one
You'll probably like the Ode to Arthur Guinness clone in the recipe section on HBT I just kicked my first keg of it the other day and I wish I had made another so I would have to wait another couple of months.

Do The Women Stay Home Cooking and Sewing While The Men Take This Country Back?

This is pathetic. Let me wake you kids up a little bit, because you all seem to have some pretty silly ideas about the apocalypse.
There is no room for gender roles in basic survival.
Gender roles are a luxury of an organized society.
EACH AND EVERY PERSON, be it man or woman, should know everything they need to survive by themselves. That means cooking, cleaning, sewing, shooting, trapping, everything. In a survival situation, you cannot depend on the luxury of a capable partner. You may be separated, one may fall ill, or straight up die.
If you need another half to make a full set, YOU ARE USELESS AS AN INDIVIDUAL.
If you can shoot a rabbit but can't cook it, or if you can stitch wounds but not chop wood, you are a one-legged bastard in an ass-kicking contest.
Each and every one of us will have to be a force unto ourselves. Our long-term survival depends on it.
Any woman can shoot a gun as well as a man, and any man can sew and cook as well as a woman. There is no excuse not to learn. It's not like we'll forget how to do one if we learn to do another.
And as for gender roles? Fuck you with the man-does-hunting woman-does-sewing bullshit. You're a fool if you think an gender-organized regimen is either necessary or advantageous. You're a bigger fool if you think a survival situation will grant you time to plan who does what. You'd both better be equally capable to do whatever needs doing, whenever it needs doing, at a moment's notice.
I consider a woman who can't hunt and a man who can't sew to be equally huge embarrassments.

Nike announces new iPhone-ready Fuelband SE
Fitness fans, this one's for you. Nike revealed the new Fuelband SE at a Nike+ event in New York City. Coming in a variety of highlight colors, the device is meant to get users up and moving. The water-resistant device features Bluetooth 4.0 for low-power connectivity, improved LEDs and a re-designed circuit board for greater flexibility.
But it's not about design; it's about moving. The Fuelband SE can now monitor yoga activity, if stretching on a mat is your thing, and other motivational features like "3.2.1 Go! Sessions," which let you pick a specific physical activity and monitor your progress towards that goal.
Those interested in the wearable fitness trainer can expect to drop US$149 for the privilege. The Nike+ Fuelband SE will ship to select countries on November 6.

"Excellent smoke, excellent price! This is a brand that many sleep on. Never sleep on an Armenian cigar maker (AVO, Garo, etc)! Buy a box, and save yourself on shipping. If you like Diesel, and some of AJ Fernendez's other bold blends, you will like these Garos. Enjoy - anoosh ullah!"
"I enjoyed Garo as one of my every day cigar brands, but no longer Now my everyday smoke will now have an Addition...Garo Double Maduro. A price you can't beat and a Smoke that is smooth,slightly creamy and woodsy with no bitter taste or bite at the finish. You get more that what you pay for here. For a Brand most look down on it's a hidden delight"
"Just enjoyed the Garo I received with the humidor special, I may be new to this but I know what I like. Best of the 10 and well worth the cold night air to smoke it!"
"Just finished one. I never pick up all these nuances of flavor in cigars. I kept thinking that something had to be wrong. I kept getting a flavor that was bursting with chocolate all the way through. Both chocolate bar & dark chocolate flavors. I am not talking about a hint of chocolate. I am talking a very strong burst of chocolate. Plus a bit of an oily creamy finish. Perfect draw. Perfect burn. Awesome. I can't wait to try more of my new bundle. They can't be that good for that price. Or can they?"
"Just finished the toro in a bundle of these I won on a bid. These are definitely smokes I can recommend to anyone. The wrapper was toothy and oily, and only one touch-up was required. There was this nice oreo-esque cocoa, that oscuro sweetness I know and love, and a savory earthiness common in Honduran tobacco. Some pepper and a hint of leather on the retrohale. Whilst the last inch was becoming harsh, I'm sure that, with a few weeks sitting in my humidor, my bundle of these will turn out just fine."
"Outstanding Cigar!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"
"Love this Maduro just as much as the Habano. Garo is by far my ATF everyday smoke. Placed on my CI auto ship so my all of my humidors are stocked with Garos!"
"Not a beauty queen but an excellent cigar at any price. I like the Diesels and keep trying other maduros, but for taste alone I cant't beat this Double Maduro. I smoke about 4 cigars a day and can't speak to all the subtle flavors like angel's breath and butterfly farts that some can discern in the upper crust brands, but for my bucks these can't be beat."
"Let me start by saying by no means am I a cigar connoisseur. I only know what I like and don't like. This cigar I like. With only one day in the humi I gave it a try. The draw was a little tight but a poke took care of that. The hint of cocoa intensified into chocolate and coffee mixed with cedar. At the halfway point (with the ash still hanging on) it turned to espresso and leather. Buy them!"
"The Double Maduro is an awesome cigar, and don't forget the Double Habano! It also has a quality that's not found often in these price ranges!!! Check it out you'll be glad you did."
"Excellent medium plus cigar, consistent and dependable!"
"This cigar was not what I was expecting when I took my first puff. It is a FANTASTIC tasting and smoking cigar. Evenly burns, not too hot burning, GREAT taste during and after each puff. 45-55 min cigar. WOW!!! Definitely a keeper! I am adding this one to my "humidor for cigars for enjoying and relaxing" with a good cognac or bourbon. "Special relax time". This humidor I keep under lock and key."
"Garo Double Maduros arrived today. I found them to be a medium-full rich satisfying smoke. It burned evenly with a very good draw {well constructed]. Noted a rich chocolate flavor with a hint of spice on the finish. The flavor was consistant throughout the whole smoke. I am very satisfied with my purchase and plan to order them again - An excellent cigar at a great price :-}"
"Just got my maduros and wow they're just what I expected and more, I use to buy my cigars elsewhere but CI has nailed it when it comes to cigars! I have since started buying my cigars from you. I've never been dissapointed at any batch I have gotten thanks CI for a good smoke!"
"Ordered some after reading the reviews. Even burn, plenty of smoke, on the fuller side as described. Well worth it, just as advertised."
"Great cigar! Great flavor!"
"Best cigar I have ever smoked. "
"Best tasting cigar I have ever smoked."
"These cigars were very nice for the most part. The flavor was very nice with a deep cocoa and earth and the burn was also very nice. The only criticism I have against these gars are the fact that almost every one I smoked had issues with the wrapper unraveling at the mouth end. I had to keep the wrapper on most of them just to keep it together. Besides that very good smoke."
"The draw on several of these was a little tight, but otherwise great taste and an experience far better than the low price suggests."
"Great taste, great burn, and great price. Get them now before they're gone just like the Double Habano."
"Great everyday cigar! Good draw, good flavor. Not exciting, but does the job."

Laminate flooring a good choice for RVs, homes alike
Laminate flooring a good choice for RVs, homes alike
Those who own RVs are provided with an easy and fun way to cruise the open road. But, after years of use they may begin to look run down and shabby. The Calgary Herald reports that there are several steps to take when looking to improve an RV's appearance.
According to the news source,comma one of the most important areas to consider updating are cushions and window coverings. If these are faded and worn it can make the vehicle appear to be outdated, and purchasing some more contemporary styles is an easy fix. Similarly, installing some new electronic devices such as a stereo or television can modernize the ride.
While carpeting may have been popular for RVs in the 1970s, the news provider adds that it is now out of style. Experts suggest installing laminate flooring as way to add a fresh, clean appearance.
Laminate flooring is not just a great choice for RVs, as it can look great in a home as well. The North American Laminate Flooring Association reports that the material has a number of benefits and can easily be easily cleaned because of it's stain-resistant surface.

Knight's career essentially ended at IU, not Texas Tech
There was no sign on the door, no window to peek in, absolutely no indication that this was the "cave," the room in Assembly Hall where Bob Knight did some of his deepest thinking.
On this particular day in September 2000, Knight was in the cave developing an entirely different game plan, a strategy to explain his version of the incident that would lead to his firing two days later.
As a reporter with the Indiana Daily Student, I was part of it. He opened that door, introduced himself with a firm handshake, and let me into a world that was collapsing around him. Despite an almost nonexistent relationship with the student newspaper, Knight decided to use it in the hopes we would deliver the right message -- his.
While the national and local media infiltrated the main concourse upstairs, and the ground Knight had reigned over for so long finally began to shake, he stretched out his legs, put his hands behind his head and described those infamous 15 seconds of his life when he violated the university's zero-tolerance policy. Knight was accused of grabbing a student and cursing at him -- all because the 19-year-old forgot his manners when he said, "Hey, what's up Knight?"
"How have you personally dealt with all of this?" I asked him.
"Well, let's talk about that later, OK?" he said. "Let's do that sometime later. If we can, let's just keep this the focal point of what we're doing right now."
Knight has that uncanny ability to control conversations, interviews and just about everything else.
The only thing Knight couldn't control was himself, and on Sept. 10, 2000, he was fired for it.
That was the week Knight's career ended. Not this one.
Even though problems had been festering for years within the IU athletic department, then-Indiana president Myles Brand rocked the college basketball world when he fired the coach who won three national championships in 29 seasons. This week, Knight shocked it, but he's done that before.
This time, Knight picked the Lubbock Avalanche-Journal as his mouthpiece, and while his spontaneous resignation will have many convinced he ended his career on his own terms, the fact is he blew that chance -- twice -- while at Indiana.
As we sat on his back porch at Knight's old house in Bloomington, Ind., during the days after he was fired, Knight told me his biggest mistake at Indiana was not leaving sooner.
He said he had considered it twice -- roughly four years before he was fired, when the relationship between him and the athletic department turned sour, and in May of his final year, when the zero-tolerance policy was instituted.
He stayed, though, because he loved what he built.
"Isiah [Thomas] said, 'You really had a love for the university,'" Knight said then. "I said 'No, that wasn't really it. What I had a love for was what we all created here. We created something that I think was really special in basketball. I mean we were really good for a long period of time.' It was special."
His tenure at Texas Tech, while successful, was like a good story that fizzled at the end -- you feel obligated to finish even though you know the best part is over.
Knight knew it was over at Indiana but couldn't let it go.
"I'm not the coach for this administration," he told reporters from the student newspaper as we sat on his back porch. "I have never been, from day one; I'm not the coach for this administration. But I'm the coach for our program and what we tried to do. The academic record we've established, the record for success after graduation we established, and I think my pride in that carried away my better instincts relative to whether I should stay here or look for employment somewhere else."
In the end, Brand made the decision for him. And that's the one that will be remembered.
