Quantifying Luck in Head-to-Head Fantasy Leagues
If you've played fantasy football you know that success is somewhat dependent on luck.
Teams face off in head-to-head matchups and the higher scoring team wins (i.e., a team wins if it happens to be matched up against a lower scoring team during that particular week). If you post the second-highest score in your league during a particular week, you still lose if you are matched up against the highest scoring team. That's bad luck. Meanwhile, a low-scoring owner can luck out by facing an even worse owner.
Sports league scheduling is a dissertation unto itself (and a multi-billion dollar business when it comes to scheduling games for professional and college leagues) but in its simplest form, a fantasy league's schedule is a round-robin tournament among the owners. (Fleaflicker's scheduling algorithm is a bit more sophisticated, balancing inter- and intra-divisional matchups according to user specifications.)
During any given season, the ordering of the matchups is random. The schedule introduces an element of luck to an owner's win-loss record.
There are several ways to quantify this luck.
The brute-force approach is to enumerate all conceivable schedules for an owner and tally the results of each to yield a probability distribution for wins. For example, in a 12-team league in which each owner faces every other owner exactly once, there are 11! possible schedules for each team (this isn't entirely accurate--there are actually far fewer ways to schedule the league correctly for all teams--but from a single owner's perspective there are 11! possible schedules).
A less computationally-intensive approach is to compare each matchup's outcome to the probability of beating any owner in the league. For example, an owner who posts the league's lowest score has a 100% chance of losing that week--no luck is involved. An owner who posts the 2nd-lowest score of the week has a 1/11 chance of winning and a 10/11 chance of losing. If the owner lost, the owner was the victim of a tiny bit of bad luck. But a victory means the owner was the beneficiary of a lot of good luck.
(We added a luck column to your team schedule page so you can see this effect on your fantasy teams. Here is mine for a particularly lucky season.)
Can scheduling luck affect a fantasy owner's fortunes?
Across all 2008 Fleaflicker leagues, teams were involved in 3 luck games on average (games involving 50%+ luck as defined above).
Call a team lucky if it finished at least 2 games over .500 in luck matchups and unlucky if it finished at least 2 games under .500 in luck matchups. 20% of all teams last season were lucky and 20% were unlucky (so about 5 teams in a 12-team league were affected by luck).
Call a team good if it finished in the top-third of the league and bad if it finished in the bottom-third. 22% of good teams were lucky and 16% were unlucky while 18% of bad teams were lucky and 21% were unlucky.
Taking it one step further, call a team very lucky if it finished at least 3 games over .500 in luck matchups and very unlucky if it finished at least 3 games under .500 in luck matchups. 8% of all teams last season were very lucky and 8% were very unlucky.
10% of good teams were very lucky and 5% were very unlucky; 7% of the bad teams were very lucky and 9% were very unlucky.

Just to clarify, the "luck" is the difference between the winning probability and the losing probability based on the rank of points for a week?
Can we make scheduling luck a moot point by adding functionality where you play every team every week? For example, in a 12 team league where you have the 3rd best points scored in a week, your record for that week would be 9-2.
fleafounder Admin Aug 23 '75
Yes definitely, that feature will neutralize luck and we're working on it.

after 4 (or maybe 5? i've lost count) years of waiting, i have come to the conclusion that this is never gonna happen. the past few years i've been keeping play-all standings on a separate google spreadsheet, and completely clear the schedule so that noone ever plays everybody so no standings are kept on fleaflicker. it's a little bit of work but compared to the total amount of time spent on fantasy football it's really not such a big deal.
i don't know why fantasy football sites don't implement this. if fleaflicker would, they would be the only site that has this.
barryb1 Apr 27 '78
let me give another example of how dumb head-to-head is.
after last season i did this experiment: i took all of the actual scores from my league and applied them to a random fantasy football schedule generator, and then calculated the standings based on that.
then i found a different schedule generator, and took the SAME SCORES, (the actual scores from my league, applied them to THAT schedule, and determined the standings.
To reiterate.....I changed NOTHING except for the schedule. All of the scores were exactly the same. And of course, the standings came out completely differently. As far as I remember, maybe 3 or 4 teams finished with the same record. One team finished with a 4-game difference in wins!
The conclusions are obvious: 1) I am a geek, and 2)head-to-head is beyond stupid.

Always a good, easy take out for our family.

Salad grilled Chicken and fries my kids are happy! Staff always takes care of us!
430 South Gammon Road, Madison, WI 53719
Chick-fil-a is about as gluten free friendly as most fast food places. Grilled chicken nuggets are the only real gluten free food. You can order a sandwich without a bun but they don't do a lettuce wrap or anything so it's like going almost anywhere and ordering without a bun then saying that they are gluten free. Food is good, but shouldn't be on this app just because they have an allergen menu and grilled chicken.
3475 Marron Rd, Oceanside, CA 92056
Chick fil a is the 💣.com I ❤❤❤❤❤ THEIR FRIES I have a very sensitive celiac disease and I have never even gotten a stomach ache👍
2065 Paramus Park Mall, Paramus, NJ 07652
Ok idiots, it's a restaurant which should be judged on food not the politics of its owners. Dedicated fryer for fries, grilled nuggets, ice cream...good enough for me
10176 Brook Rd, Glen Allen, VA 23059
I love Chick-fil-A!!!! It's my favorite place to go. They have the best fries in the buiessness, and wonderful gluten free options!!!
2213 North Interstate 35 Frontage Road, San Marcos, TX 78666
The address for this location is actually 2213 S Interstate 35, San Marcos, TX 78666 It's on the S side of SM by the Lowe's! No complaints about the food :)
160 North Gulph Road #1017, King of Prussia, PA 19406
5 star for Sure! They are SO accommodating. Like the last person said, they change gloves, offer the grilled nuggets, all of their sauces are gluten free even the cheese sauce! Thank you chick-fil-a for frying your fries separately from the other fried foods! Yum! PS- I have also eaten at other Chick-Fil-A restaurants and all have been just as good
3806 Ambassador Caffery Pkwy, Lafayette, LA 70503
5905 Spout Springs Rd, Flowery Branch, GA 30542
Awesome food!!!!
11820 Fountains Way, Maple Grove, Minnesota 55369
Many options, classic fast food. Not a big fan of fast food so won't be going here again, but if you like fast food style it is good.
2040 N Rose Ave, Oxnard, CA 93036
Good food. They don't have many options, but the ones they do are really taste. All the sauces are GF
8213 Golden Link Blvd, Macedonia, OH 44067
Great service and food is always consistent
4241 4th St N, Saint Petersburg, FL 33703
Always friendly and happy to help. They have a dedicated fryer for their waffle fries and their grilled fillet and salad are very good. Everything is clearly listed on their website for GF options!
7676 Campus View Drive, West Jordan, UT 84084
They have the best staff. Everything but the salad makes me sick, but the salad is delicious.
701 S Capital Of Texas Hwy Ste L400, West Lake Hills, TX 78746
It's very sad that chick-fil-a won't advise if their grilled chicken marinade is GF because that "would be disclosing proprietary information ". A simple yes or no would have taken care of the question.
10480 Owings Mills Blvd, Owings Mills, MD 21117
They had no idea what celiac was let alone gluten free. The manager was also clueless.
310 Emily Dr, Clarksburg, WV 26301
Grilled chicken nuggets are delicious! Their waffle fries are GF because they use a separate fryer than the breaded chicken. Love being able to eat there for lunch! Staff is wonderful and so polite also!
8300 N Wickham Rd, Melbourne, FL 32940
Gluten free grilled nuggets and the fries are fried in a dedicated fryer. I am sure there are also other options. $ Means we can visit frequently.
575 Garden Of The Gods Rd, Colorado Springs, CO 80907
Good Gf options. Diligent to make the order right and not cross contaminate. Try Chick Gil a sauce, grilled nuggets and fries. Yum!
6495 Glenway Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45211
They are very good about changing gloves and bagging gf food separately.
1696 Stringtown Rd, Grove City, OH 43123
one of the few fast food chains my wife can eat at due to her celiac disease. staff is always friendly and the food is always consistently good, unlike your McD, Wendy's or BK.
3842 Promenade Pkwy, Diberville, MS 39540
A good option for a quick meal. iIlike the grilled nuggets and waffle fries. I detracted two stars because I do not feel completely reassured that there are cross contamination precautions. I am also not 100% sure about the fries. I have been told by more than one manager that the fries are cooked in their own oil.
905 N Dobson Rd, Mesa, AZ 85201
I get the grilled nuggets, and the fries are cooked in a dedicated fryer so I had those as well. The chicken nuggets were fine, and it helps to have a fast food option at times.
2065 Paramus Park Mall, Paramus, NJ 07652
Even people who are not GF should not eat here. Plus they are racist bigots.
3360 W 86th St, Indianapolis, IN 46268
Multiple problems trying to order a salad. They must have just taken the croutons off and given it back to me the last time. Sick for 10 days.
430 South Gammon Road, Madison, WI 53719
This a new location, and it was super busy when we arrived. I staked our claim at a table, and my mom ordered grilled chicken tenders for me, but when my meal arrived, they were breaded and fried. It turns out they don't have grilled tenders, but they do have grilled nuggets, which they gave me. The breaded chicken (officially known as Chick-n-strips) comes in a cardboard container, but the grilled chicken comes in a round plastic container with a lid. Between the busyness and accidentally ordering something they didn't have, it's easy to see how a mix-up could happen. Fortunately, breaded chicken looks nothing like grilled chicken.Their website menu has "Health/allergen information" tab, which leads to several links including "Allergen, Gluten, & Diabetic Exchange." Clicking on that yields "Gluten information." "Below is a list of our menu items that may fit if you are trying to avoid gluten. Some ingredients such as spices and natural flavors may be proprietary; therefore, we may not have the source listed for those items....Please note that we do not have a gluten free prep area in our kitchens." They list all the gf sauces and dressings as well.
3246 S 5600 W, Salt Lake City, UT 84120
I was very impressed with this location. When I ordered the grilled nuggets the employee asked if I would like the cook to change their gloves before I even had a chance to request it. I have been back and will go back many times I'm sure
8598 Beechmont Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45255
They have gluten free options and will change their gloves if you ask them. Their fries are GF and they have a dedicated fryer for them, so there isn't any cross contamination. I eat here often.
996 W Highway 287 Byp, Waxahachie, TX 75165
great options and will adapt to what you want or need
1809 Beltline Rd Sw, Decatur, AL 35601
They red flagged our order, but unlike the other Chick-fil-A's, it apparently didn't mean anything here.
1141 Saxon Blvd, Orange City, FL 32763
I've eaten here for years and have never had a problem. I'm not sure how they are with cross contamination (I'm on the lower end of celiac so I don't react to cross contamination as badly), but they are always so friendly and willing to help :)
920 W I 240 Service Rd, Oklahoma City, OK 73139
Some of the help is getting worse especially in the evening sending this to several of my friends.The Black girl needs to go next door to McDonald's with that shitype attitude and the Male Manager that worksat night. Won't go back
4752 S Kirkman Rd, Orlando, FL 32811
I love the grilled nuggets, fries & coleslaw. Eat here all the time and never get sick. And all the sauces are GF as well 😄
825 Ellsworth Dr Lot D1-A, Silver Spring, MD 20910
Not bad
2341 South Range Avenue, Denham Springs, LA 70726
Had a great experience at this brand new Chick-Fil-A while traveling with 10 yo Celiac daughter. She loves the grilled market salad but of course we have to ask to leave off the blue cheese. Thought it might be a little problem since they were newly trained but they totally understood and it was a relief when I heard the girl at the side of kitchen yell remember no blue cheese on that salad. I am intolerant also. Neither of us had any problems.
1440 North Dupont Highway, Dover, DE 19901
I fear that there is a disaster on the horizon, but so far so good. cfa is a good 'go to' when you are on the road, but I would not eat it regularly. Maybe I would, if my grill was down or I had picky company.
5001 Monroe St Spc Fc10, Toledo, OH 43623
I can have a salad, or grilled chicken sandwich without the bun, or grilled nuggets. I also eat the fries and milkshakes, as long as it's not Oreo flavor. (pro tip: if you are ordering in a group and someone wants Oreo and you want chocolate, it's hard to tell apart. ask for no cherry on yours so you'll know which is which)
2425 Prince William Pkwy, Woodbridge, VA 22192
Grilled nuggets, fries and a milkshake were my go to treat. They changed the recipe or the cross contamination is too high for me.
6002 Slide Rd, Lubbock, TX 79414
The grilled nuggets are awesome and also diet friendly. Fries are okay too. Will keep going to for fast food.
5501 Urbana Pike, Frederick, MD 21704
I have gotten fries from this location a few times and been fine. I think there is too much risk for cross contamination for the chicken. I asked for the grilled chicken whole so I could cut it myself for the salad I ordered and they were very accommodating. Unfortunately I got very sick after eating the grilled chicken. From now on the only cooked item I will get is the fries.
101 Jordan Creek Parkway, West Des Moines, IA 50266
Their fries are pretty tasty. I don't necessarily care for their 'naked' style chicken, but I haven't gotten sick there. I have eaten there a couple times. Love that I can order fries and not get sick. Would return again if we were near, and I was hungry.
874 Eastgate North Dr, Cincinnati, OH 45245
Just alert them that you're ordering a meal for a person with Celiac's, and they take the time to ensure gluten free and no contamination.
11820 Fountains Way, Maple Grove, Minnesota 55369
Great grilled chicken and salad! Waffle fries have their own fryer too!
Nau Dining, Flagstaff, AZ 86011
Very friendly service. They offer a GF menu. Asked about allergy as we ordered the grilled chicken sandwich as a lettuce wrap. Food was very good as it usually is. Franchise owner was working the window and let us know right away there would be an additional wait as they took additional precautions. Owner was very friendly and courteous as was the rest of the staff.
7021 S Memorial Dr Ste 265, Tulsa, OK 74133
Always yummy. Eat here when in town!
4980 Houston Rd, Florence, KY 41042
I just LOVE eating here! Once a week my family eats here because it's rare for me to be able to enjoy a full meal with fries. They have a dedicated fryer. YAY!! I never get sick. I used to order the grilled chicken sandwich without the bun, but now I order the yummy chicken nuggets, grilled of course.

Double Blessing - Boy Twins Birth Announcement Magnets my ONLY problem with these is the fact that, like most mass produced print and cut things, a few of them get printed off center. I got a total of 100 and 6 weren't up to my standards because some of the letters of my sons name got cut off (but still completely legible, no problems with that at all... I'm just really picky) They delivered on time, the colors were right on, and people LOVE them

We had issues with our shipment (twice) and the customer service department was wonderful at rectifying the issues, and compensating us.

Implementing Patient Engagement Principles in Meaningful Use Stage 2 That Will Help Meet Meaningful Use Stage 3

On a similar note, simple grammar mistakes. The your/you're thing really grinds my gears. "Should/could of" instead of the proper "could have" is up there too.
You know what grinds my gears? ESPN's kissing of the Miami Heat's ***. The rest of the country doesn't give a ****, so stop shoving it down our throats. Thank you.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
What really grinds my gears is that just as I'm set to leave work, I'm given a project. Ugh!!!!!!!!!!

People who won't do their freaking job! Or even worse, people who won't do their freaking job while simultaneously making yours harder. Or even worse than that, people who don't do ANYTHING and then constanly ***** and gripe about how they are sooooo overworked and stressed out. They just don't know if they can do it all. I'd kick people like that down a dark hole if I knew I could get away with it.

Danville, Kentucky (CNN) -- An aide to Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan accused TIME Magazine of "poor judgment" in its decision to publish photographs of the Wisconsin congressman working out on the day of his debate with Joe Biden.
The pictures, which appeared on TIME's website Thursday, feature Ryan in his workout clothes, curling a dumbbell. According to the Ryan aide, the photographs were taken for the magazine's "Person of the Year" issue. The Wisconsin congressman, a well-known fitness buff in the House of Representatives, was a runner-up in the periodical's competition.
Ryan's aide told CNN advisers to the House Budget Committee chairman were assured by the magazine the pictures would never be published. The aide said he was not sure whether Ryan had a reaction to the photos.
"To release these photos on the same day when important issues are to be discussed is, in my view, poor judgment," the aide told CNN.
TIME Managing Editor Rick Stengel said in an interview on CNN's "The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer" on Thursday that the magazine never promised that the pictures would not be published.
"We had discussions with them about using them back and forth and there was never an understanding that they would not be used," Stengel told CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
Responding to the Romney campaign reaction to the publication, Stengel said he is "sorry that they feel that way."
"He is in the news right now and we are in the news business, and this seemed like the most appropriate time to do those pictures," he said. "I kind of wonder if we had done them another time, you'd be asking me, 'Well why are you publishing those pictures of Paul Ryan? It seems sort of arbitrary and he's not in the news.' So you can't win either way."

Can't decide which airline to take? Learn to fly, beat the crowd
Sunday, December 9, 2012
ROCHESTER — I'm what you'd call a semi-frequent traveler. I've flown on a fair number of commercial airlines in the past couple decades and the experience just seems to be getting less and less enjoyable.
Needless to say, I'm not a big fan of flying and not because I'm afraid of it.
But the opportunity arose recently to experience a whole new way of travel — at least for me. I was invited to take a flight lesson at Skyhaven Airport in Rochester. Let me say, it was nothing like a commercial flight.
How did the two experiences compare? Well, let me tell you:
The day begins
The cheapest commercial flights tend to be somewhere around 6 a.m. That means an alarm clock set at about 2:30 a.m. to leave the house by 3:30 a.m. to drive Route 1 in Revere, Mass. and arrive at Boston's Logan Airport by 4:45 a.m. In contrast, flight school tends to center around your schedule. My first flight was scheduled for 2 p.m., so I left the newspaper bureau at 1:50 p.m. and drove down Rochester Hill Road to Skyhaven. Advantage: flight school.
For flight school, I shake hands with Kelby Ferwerda, owner of Rochester Aviation, and we head out to the tarmac. Advantage: flight school.
You can bring a bottle of water onto the Cessna and there's no problem or you can use your phone if you like. Of course, when you're flying the plane for the first time, you hardly take your mind off what you're doing. On a commercial flight, they serve you six ounces of the finest sugary beverages and a small packet of pretzels. I don't like pretzels, so Advantage: flight school.
There's no way a first time pilot is going to be landing the plane. It's without a doubt, the most difficult part. Kelby took control of the Cessna for approach and landing.
I've received toiletry kits for lost luggage, free T-shirts for canceled flights and even a plastic pair of wings when I was younger. One thing I've never received with hundreds of thousands of miles under my belt is a pilot's log. It's something you can't get when sticking to commercial planes, but Kelby issued me one shortly after touching down. Advantage: flight school.
Visit their school online at www.flyskyhaven.com or in person at Skyhaven Airport on Rochester Hill Road in Rochester. Oh yeah, and I should mention, being the pilot is pretty cool.

Innovations stemming from research conducted on university campuses are a growing source for the ideas and core technologies that drive entrepreneurial endeavors. This trend has led to development of the term academic entrepreneurship, which refers to the efforts and activities that universities and their industry partners undertake in hopes of commercializing the outcomes of faculty research. Because it is a relatively new phenomenon, the process of academic entrepreneurship has not been as well articulated as one might hope. As such, the objective of this article is to draw on a range of academic entrepreneurship literature to develop a multi-stage process model of academic entrepreneurship. This model is intended to guide potential stakeholders through the application of academic entrepreneurship, with a focus on improving the odds of success. The advantage of this approach is identification of the activities, actors, and key success factors associated with each stage of the academic entrepreneurship process. We conclude our discussion by highlighting the benefits of engaging in academic entrepreneurship for a variety of potential stakeholders.

The markers show the hottest places on the map, color-coded by popularity.
The places you rank and save are kept privately on your own disk. You can share the places visible on the map using the share button: the places currently invisible will not be shared.
Create your own view of any area by simply hiding or re-ranking these standard markers you do not like and adding completely new places. Share your view, mail the link or add it to your website.
The trip planner assists you by calculating times and routes. It can even give an automatic recommendation which you can edit to your liking.
Click on a place marker to add a place to the trip, click on it again to remove it from the trip.
The start location of the trip can be moved around by clicking on it. The cursor will turn into a crosshair: click on the map again to pick the new start location.
The planner will draw the route on the map. Red color shows the part of the route where walking is the preferred way of moving around, blue color marks driving. In some cases the route to a place will be in grey - in that case it may be difficult to reach the location in question.
The "recommend" button picks popular places in the area and automatically adds them to the current trip. It is always possible to manually change the trip by removing and adding places - click on the markers to do that. The "clear" button deletes the trip and lets you start over from scratch.
The current trip can be examined by clicking on the "show" button which opens a new window. From there you may re-arrange the order of the places in the trip.
First click on the map to select the starting spot for the new trip: shown as a gray "S" marker.
Click on the markers to add or remove them from a trip.
Click on "show" to display the current itinerary.

Here you can review your current trip and make changes to it.
Click on a place, hold the mouse button down and drag the place to a new location to change the order of the places.
Click on the cross icon at the top right of a place to remove it from the trip. If you change your mind later you can go to the map and click on the marker of the place to add it to the trip again.
The hottest places have markers linking photos, streetview, wikipedia, wikivoyage, foursquare and google plus articles about the site. The place names are selected by the wikipedia readership numbers and foursquare checkins. Area populations are based on the geonames database.
Street level heatmaps are available for top 15000 places in the world, sorted by the number of photos in an area of a size of a few square kilometers around the place center. The popularity ranking of places in high-res area maps is computed by combining place hotness with popularity rankings from wikipedia, foursquare and real-time google places selection.
It is possible to use a link ending with any place name, like this: http://www.sightsmap.com/New_York.
Zoom in, enjoy the photos, search special places, plan a trip, build and share your own map of any area.

Fell and Fair
9. 13 April, Evening
Evening of 13 April
After meat and warming mead, I talk long with these courteous brothers.
"You speak Westron much better than I do."
"We hail from Rivendell, a refuge to many peoples. As children, we learned several languages... though we did not then value that instruction."
He jests!
"Are twins common among Elves?"
"There are but a handful of pairs, our father included."
No honey-tongued diplomat, I finally blurt, "How old are you?"
"Why do you ask?"
Stout-hearted, my people consider me; surely I can withstand one raised Elven eyebrow?
'Tis a most uncanny habit: glancing at one another, then bursting into laughter.
"Forgive our mirth! Are you familiar with Lord Frumgar?"
"My forefather? He guided our journey to Langflood's wellsprings."
"We met him once, returning from Mirkwood; your people guarded the Old Ford then. We told him of Angmar's fall."
"Five hundred years ago?"
"Eldar lives are counted in ages... we have seen two thousand summers." I overlook his mute shock. "Your people prospered in the North. These Riders number fivefold their entire count then."
"Aye. We have many settlements now, scattered widely. Yet ever more we fend off encroachment by others. We love our lands, but our herds need more room."

Pure as driven snow and in the prime of youth, Cheung Yung has yet to taste the fruits of passion before she is embraced by death. Mr. Ching has lost everything dear to him. There's nothing left to lose except his life. Two lovelorn people living under the shadow of death find solace in a promise to fulfill each other's dying wishes - to have a one-time romance. However, through a twist of fate, Cheung Yung uncovers the identity of her parents murderer, who indirectly caused her terminal illness. Even stronger than the hunger for love, is the thirst for revenge. She alters the terms of her pact with Mr. Ching and sets in motion a chain of events that leads to a tense and fatal confrontation with her nemesis. Unlike Cheung Yung and Mr. Ching, Cheung Siu Chun savors every moment in his life. A healthy, motivated professional, he derives satisfaction from helping those in need. His greatest source of happiness is his gorgeous and loving wife Ho Lok. If there's a blemish in his otherwise perfect life, it is a crime he committed in hot blood as a juvenile. But blood will have blood, and it is Cheung Yung who finds herself the agent of her family's inexorable scheme of vengeance, which extends beyond the grave. After discovering that she had been sleeping with the enemy, can Ho Lok make the painful choice between love and justice?

AMD Sends Performance Enhancing Benchmark Pills to LR – VerdetrolThu, Feb 09, 2012 - 1:16 PM
A small overnight UPS package arrived this morning that had what sounded like a medicine bottle inside. I opened it up and it turned out to be a prescription bottle from AMD with 28 doses of Verdetrol 1GHz.
The bottle says that the pills are for natural performance enhancement and that we are to give our video card 1 tablet by the fan intake four times a day. This is obviously a marketing promotion for an upcoming product release of a video card that is clocked at 1GHz. The AMD Radeon HD 7770 (Cape Verde) is said to run at 1GHz, so this could mean that the Radeon HD 7770 is very close to launching. The label on the bottle was well done with 28 doses (28nm manufacturing process), a prescription number of 1337-2012 (if you don't know what 1337 means hit alt+f4) and that the tablets are 1GHz (the core clock speed of an upcoming product). We'll let you guys guess the meaning of Verdetrol, but NVIDIA's colors are green. You can see more pictures of the bottle label by following the link below to the forums.
Never Settle for Average Performance. Get a natural performance enhancement for your PC with Verdetrol! Verdetrol's patented 1GHz fast-release formula delivers strong, vigorous performance when you need it most. Ask your computer specialist if Verdetrol is right for you! REAL RESULTS! Fictional couples everywhere agree that the new 1GHz Verdetrol FR formulation has made the difference when every ounce of performance matters. Man or woman, young or old, Verdetrol is the solution for anyone looking to get an edge when the heat is on!

The Bishop BroncosŌĆÖ soccer team made it to the semifinals at the Palmdale Classic Tournament held at the Lancaster National Soccer Center, Dec. 2-3.
Bishop beat out their High Desert League nemesis, the Rosamond Roadrunners, in the quarterfinals on a sudden-death penalty kick.
Soccer coach John McGurke chose the Palmdale tourney specifically to test the Div. 6 Broncos against stiff competition from larger schools.
The BroncosŌĆÖ first match, against Div. 5 Maranatha High from Pasadena, ended in a 1-1 tie.
The Big Pine Warriors basketball squad lived up to its name Monday night in a down-to-the-wire, 42-39 win over the Mammoth Huskies.
Big Pine went 3 points ahead of Mammoth off two free throws from Ryan Carrington. With eight seconds left in the game and three Huskies capable of hitting 3-pointers, the WarriorsŌĆÖ defense held the line.
What made the win that much sweeter is the fact Big Pine had just enough athletes to take the court, 5, competing against the 9-man Mammoth team.
ŌĆ£We started slow,ŌĆØ said coach Darren Chirrick. ŌĆ£We didnŌĆÖt play very aggressively to keep out of foul problems.ŌĆØ
The Bishop BroncosŌĆÖ 2011 football season came to an end Friday night in Lancaster. The High Desert League Champion Broncos lost to the Desert Christian Knights, 7-14, in the second round of CIF playoffs.
Tomorrow evening two Owens Valley high school football squads will take one more step in the CIF playoffs.
The Bishop Broncos have been there before and as the number one seed in the Northeast Division are expected to go far in the bracket. They start that process against Viewport (7-3) at 6:30 p.m. in John Schwab Stadium.
The Bishop Broncos Junior Varsity football team scored their second consecutive High Desert League championship last Thursday against the Desert Scorpions in what spectators have described as ŌĆ£the game of the century.ŌĆØ
Both teams were undefeated in league, so the championship title hinged on the outcome. The Broncos staged a comeback in the fourth quarter but the victory came down to a blocked field goal attempt by the Scorpions.
Bishop went up 6-0 on a TD by Jose Jimenez in the first quarter but was behind 6-14 at the half.
The University of California Irvine Anteaters menŌĆÖs soccer team won the Big West Championship tournament Saturday, beating UC Santa Barbara 3-2 in double overtime.
Chino Santana, former Bishop High School soccer player, was a big part of that win, scoring the AnteatersŌĆÖ first goal in the first half, his fourth of the season.
SantanaŌĆÖs assist in the semifinals helped propel the team into the championship match.
UC Irvine is ranked number 8 in Division 1 menŌĆÖs soccer. The win gives the Anteaters an automatic berth in the NCAA playoffs.
The Lone Pine Golden Eagles will have home-field advantage in round two of the CIF 8-Man football playoffs.
The 32-14 win over the Lancaster Baptist Eagles Friday night secured Lone PineŌĆÖs spot in the quarterfinals. The Golden Eagles won the coin flip Monday morning, giving them the advantage over Excelsior Education Center in the Nov. 18 match-up.
The Bishop BroncosŌĆÖ Cross Country girls team came in first, the boys team second, in High Desert League competition held Nov. 2 at Desert High.
Broncos runners will be competing today in the CIF Preliminaries at Mt. San Antonio College.
The Lady Broncos were undefeated for the season, claiming league championship ahead of Rosamond and Kern Valley.
On the boysŌĆÖ side, Rosamond took first, Bishop second followed by Kern Valley, Desert and Cal City.
ŌĆ£IŌĆÖm proud of these atheltes for the effort they have put in this season and for who they are as people,ŌĆØ said head coach Jeff Perry.
Playing on their opponentsŌĆÖ turf, the Bishop Broncos scorched the Desert Scorpions Thursday night, 61-20, to officially claim the High Desert League Championship for the second straight year. Bishop is seeded number one in the Northeast Division with a 5-0 league record, 9-1 overall.
Desert brought all the weapons in their arsenal to the game, but most of them backfired. The Scorpions, tied with Kern, Frazier and Cal City at 2-2 going into the final league game, had to play spoiler to the Broncos to have a shot at making the playoffs.
Only a month to go before Sage to Summit begins its annual Winter Race Series at Millpond.
The first of the five-race series starts Saturday, Dec. 10. According to race organizers, the routes will return to courses from the first two years of the series. Apparently, the more challenging courses used in 2010 brought mixed reviews.
This year, Sage to Summit is teaming up with the Bishop High School Cross Country Team and coach Jeff Perry. The Winter Race series will be a fundraiser for the team.

Salem Overview
Salem is a crafting MMORPG by Paradox Interactive that puts you in what is essentially a giant sandbox world. You travel, learn skills, craft objects and structures with little but what you find in the wild, and perhaps eventually settle a piece of land, whether that is on your own or as part of a village community. The world of Salem depends heavily on what the players make of it; there is little combat, and most of the action is centered on learning skills and gathering resources. This title is also known for the ever-present risk of permanent death. Combined with the time consuming nature of this game, this puts enormous weight behind many of your decisions – if you think Salem won't make you wary of other players, think again.

Salem Review
By: Guillaume Barbeau
Salem is this sort of game that comes around very infrequently, by virtue of the risk related to its innovative game play. It's an important title in terms of testing new grounds – crafting MMOs are few and far between, let alone ones situated in colonial America. Not only that, but it's also Paradox Interactive's first foray into the MMO genre. So is it good? Well, you can read on and see, but one thing is sure, it's that this is the the type of game that either catches on to you while refusing to let go, or does not not interest you at all.
Scary New World
For starters, Salem is a java game, so it's pretty easy and quick to jump into it. The graphic quality is very modest, to say the very least, so don't expect anything surprising on that front. In fact, this is most likely one of the game's most prominent flaws; the graphics are not only modest, they look absolutely horrid. The environments are simple, recycled, and the characters, while cartoonish and amusing, could really use some more diversity. You start the game; pick your name, and bam! You're suddenly in England, entirely naked. From there, you can talk to NPCs to change your features, get yourself a fancy beard, a pointy hat, and then you're off to the new world. This game could really use a formal character creator, as I don't recall the English being especially fond of naked portside walks. That said, once you hit Boston, the only NPC city so far in Salem, you're down to your wits in order to survive. There isn't much of a tutorial at this point, you'll already have been shown the basics, but Salem is relatively complex game that does not point you in any specific direction. And in many ways, that is part of what makes its charm.
Smooth Stones & Blackberries
The idea of Salem is that you need to spend a sizeable chunk of time wandering, and exploring. In order to build or craft anything in Salem, you first need to go through your skill tree and unlock the right skills. When you start playing, you have literally 0 skills, and you need to get very far down that path to even unlock the capacity to build your first hovel. You have a set of proficiencies, such as Natural Philosophy, Law & lore, etc, that are essentially meters you need to fill in order to learn new skills. To raise these meters, you need to find or craft objects, usually in the wild, called "Inspirationals", each of which will give you a specific amount of points in each of these traits. Once you have enough, you purchase your skill, and your meter goes back to 0. This is actually a very lengthy process, which means you'll be wandering around picking walnuts and smooth stones for a long, long time. Your health and energy is measured in four "humors", and they go down through just about anything you do, from looking at smooth stones, to climbing hillsides. You replenish them through food you either find or cook. You can also raise these humors by eating truckloads of food at once (called "Gluttony mode"). Yes, this is also a very long and boring process.
Pilgrim Eat Pilgrim
Once you've raised these skills and humors enough, you can start crafting things, starting with tools, and eventually buildings, farms, tanning racks, and so on. When you have the skills you need, possibilities open up. You can pick up fishing, foraging, blacksmithing, hunting; all the things you need to ply a trade in the new world. You can also buy a plot of land, which keeps many players from intruding into your personal space. While I've mentioned how long all of these activities take to accomplish, it's worth noting that it makes the progression incredibly addictive. This is also partly why the community is both close-knit and distrusting all at once. The main reason though, is that not only can everything you own be stolen, but your character can also be permanently killed. You read that right. Permanent death is a significant part of Salem, and in many ways, a very divisive feature. On one hand, it puts weight behind everything you do, while on the other, there is the risk of losing all the hours you poured into your character. Player groups will, for this reason, be very reluctant in recruiting new players for their villages, if not avoidant of them outright.
Harvest Moon Meets Lovecraft
With that said, this is a huge, no, GIGANTIC world. Other players are few and far between, less so in certain areas. It's also a mean world – if you accidently stumble onto a snake or a bear, you better hope you get lucky, because these things are vicious. Snakes will chase you until you can break line of sight, for one. Yes, this makes no sense. As you reach the edge of the known world, you reach this thing called the "Darkness". In a nutshell, the further you go, the darker the environment get, and when you get far enough, your humors begin being drained, unless you have a light source. These areas also have supernatural critters, Lovecraft-esque creatures about whom, as of the writing of this review, little is known about. And this is one of the upsides of this game; the world is big, mysterious, and documenting is entirely up to the players. Organized player groups can even push back the darkness by building churches, thus making new areas explorable. This is an entirely community and progression oriented game, and lack of either of those will most likely end up boring you. The world of Salem depends on the players within it. The in-game store element is firmly tied to this as well – buying in-game silver gives you access to MUCH needed commodities such as nails, required for any form of advanced building. This can be obtained without the in-game store, but thus becomes extremely time consuming as you need to craft very rare valuables to sell in Boston for silver.
Final Verdict: Good
Salem is a time-consuming, high risk experience that is definitely not for everyone. It's like playing a deadlier version of Harvest Moon. There is no story, little combat, and no hand-holding, high thrill adventure. This is a game that is almost entirely what the players make of it. It's a game about players, their villages, and their paranoias. But what this game attempts, it does well. The crafting is entertaining, the progression is addictive, and the world is mysterious. Many things could still be improved however, from the graphics, to the nasty habit of the wildlife going into blood frenzies. But apart from that, this is a title with a lot of room to grow, and a lot to like. If you can get past these small flaws, and enjoy crafting, give this one a try.
