SPACE pirate and alien life forms could soon be seen zooming around the Lake District – thanks to a new million dollar movie.
Old Hutton writer and director Rick McLeod has teamed up with a group of American producers to make a science fiction film based on cult television series Firefly.
The US consortium, one of whom has done sound-tracks for Mr McLeod in the past, originally began filming experimental sequences in county – but then the idea turned into a feature-length film.
Although $1 million is a relatively small budget for a movie, Mr McLeod said he was 'shocked' when the group gave the figure.
"Last year was a good one for us – we're still reeling from that – so when they approached me my first question was 'Are you serious?'
"It's not easy to make films in Cumbria, especially with the UK Film Council gone. When we had Leslie Grantham here, he was unpaid because he loved the script.
"It's great to know that our hard work is starting to pay off."
The film, called Lost Transmission, follows the lonely adventure of Blake, captain of a mining ship, with no-one but his computer to talk to after war breaks out on Earth. But he leaves the planet to find life on other worlds.
Filming is expected to start in early 2012, and will be split between Cumbria and America.
CGI effects are already being worked on by the studio, which created a castle in the middle of Windermere in a previous flick.
Before filming begins in earnest, Mr McLeod is shooting a short promotional video with action sequences in Old Hutton.
And he is looking for '23rd century pirates' to star as extras in a fight scene on Sunday, to be led by a trained fight choreographer.
"We're seeking punks, goths and heavy rockers. Long or short hair, tattoos and piercings are a bonus but not essential. The more outrageous the look the better," said Mr McLeod.
Filming will last for between two and three hours and anyone interested can email email@example.com.
Participants are requested to send a head shot with their email.
Discussions with actors to play the role of Blake are still going on.

En español | Technically, Michael J. Fox is not supposed to be enjoying himself as much as he is these days. When the actor was diagnosed with young-onset Parkinson's disease at age 30 after noticing a twitch in his left pinkie, his doctors told him he had 10 more years to work, tops. That was 21 years ago. "The implication was that I was going to be in an invalid state," Fox says.
Photo gallery: Michael J. Fox and 17 other charitable celebs
Without question, the actor's illness has advanced. During a long, candid conversation in his New York City office about his health, career, family and philanthropic efforts, Fox's body never stops moving. His right knee swings, his hands tremble, his shoulders seesaw up and down.
"It's like your gyroscope is off," he says when asked what Parkinson's feels like. "I can be shaky. I can be slow. I can wake up with festination" — an involuntary shuffling of the feet — "and I'll say, 'This is going to be a struggle today.' " At one point, Fox, 51, calls out to his assistant to bring him an amantadine pill, which helps quiet the Parkinson's-related movement disorder known as dyskinesia. "I feel that kind of sideways feeling coming on," he says. But his resolve is steady.
"There's an idea I came across a few years ago that I love," he says. "My happiness grows in direct proportion [to] my acceptance and in inverse proportion to my expectations." Though Parkinson's has weakened his voice, Fox's face looks mostly unchanged since he appeared on TV's Spin City and in his Back to the Future movies. "That's the key for me. If I can accept the truth of 'This is what I'm facing — not what can I expect but what I am experiencing now' — then I have all this freedom to do other things."
Keep laughing
For Fox, acceptance translates into a positive outlook. Where others would see devastating physical and emotional consequences, he counts his blessings. It took him years to get there, but at times all he can do now is laugh.
"Even when his symptoms are most acute, it drives him crazy to be pitied," says actor Denis Leary, Fox's longtime friend, Rescue Me costar and sports buddy. "I've walked down the hall with him and he's herky-jerky and he'll go, 'Watch out, Denis, you might get an elbow in the face.' "
Indeed, Fox has a whole dark-humor repertoire. As he jokes, who needs an electric toothbrush when you have a vibrating hand? As for shaving with a blade, "I'm not suicidal," Fox cracks. His golf game — yes, Fox still plays — suffers more from comic indignity than anything else. "People say, 'Stay still over the ball.' I'm, like, 'Yeah, screw you.' " Even a box of cereal comes with a punch line. "When I start pouring, I don't know what's going to happen," he says. "The next thing I know, I'm spraying All-Bran all over the kitchen."
Fox's new NBC comedy series, coming this fall, in which he'll play a New York anchorman, husband and father of three whose family and career are shaken up by Parkinson's, is loosely based on the lighter side of life with the disease. That's not to suggest that PD is one big thigh-slapper.

Find a local Doctor in your town Phimosis facts Phimosis is the inability to retract the foreskin behind the head (glans) of the penis.Symptoms of phimosis may include:difficulty or pain during urination,painful erection, orparaphimosis.Phimosis is usually divided into physiologic and pathologic phimosis.Physiologic phimosis is the normal condition in which children are born with a tight foreskin and separation occurs during late childhood and early adolescence.Pathologic phimosis occurs due to infection, inflammation, or scarring and is usually found in uncircumcised adult men.What causes phimosis? Physiologic phimosis is present at birth and resolves without intervention. Most children will not have a fully retractable foreskin at birth, but do so as they get older with the majority having a fully retractable foreskin by early adolescence.Pathologic phimosis is caused by scarring, balanitis, and underlying medical risk factors.What are the symptoms of phimosis? The inability of the foreskin to retract can lead to difficulty cleaning of the area which can cause balanitis. Other symptoms include:difficulty urinating,painful urination,painful erection, orparaphimosis.How is phimosis diagnosed? Your doctor can diagnose phimosis based on a thorough history and physical examination. Additional tests are usually not necessary.How is phimosis treated? Treatment depends on the age of the male, severity, and resulting symptoms. The first choice of treatment is usually a steroid ointment that is locally applied. This treatment has shown a success rate of over 70%. The ointment softens the foreskin and is applied for 4 to 6 weeks. Once full retraction is possible the ointment is discontinued. If the steroid treatment is not successful, a circumcision might be beneficial. This depends on the underlying symptoms.

Farewell Sgt. Krumer, Hello Four New LAPD LiaisonsOctober 11, 2012 at 10:34 am | Posted in Uncategorized | Leave a comment
For several years, Sgt. David Krumer has been the bicycling community's main point of contact with the Los Angeles Police Department. Many can attest that he was always consistent and quick to respond to all manner of issues that arose. LACBC was not alone in relying on him for assistance. Sgt. Krumer has been reassigned and we'd like to thank him for all that he's done for bicyclists in Los Angeles. Sgt. Krumer, we wish you the best. Come ride with us any time!
With Sgt. Krumer's departure as the LAPD go-to guy for all things bike, the department recently announced four new liaisons to take Krumer's place. Each liaison will represent one of four traffic divisions in the City of Los Angeles. Their role is to be available to bicycling public. If, for example, you've had an altercation with a motorist or if you have an issue with an LAPD officer that you've encountered, the liaisons are there for you. You can contact them according to the traffic division you were in at the time of your incident. For a more detailed description of the change at LAPD, you can read blogger and LACBC Board member Ted Rogers' post on LAStreetsblog. Starting now, keep this list handy!
- Central Division: Sgt. Laszlo Sandor 213 972-1853 email@example.com
- West Division: Sgt. Christopher Kunz 213 473-0215 firstname.lastname@example.com
- South Division: Sgt. Jon Aufdemberg 213 421-2588 email@example.com
- Valley Division: Sgt. Steve Egan 818 644-8146 email@example.com

NORFOLK - With the Christmas season upon us, people are gearing up to buy toys and deck the halls.
CHKD pediatrician Dr. Carol Steiner with Nansemond Pediatrics has tips for having a safe holiday season.
HOLIDAY SAFETY TIPS: (from the American Academy of Pediatrics)
Tip 1: Buy Age-Appropriate Gifts
--You can't go wrong if you stick with what you know -- books, videos, simple mechanical toys, blocks, board games, and sports and safety equipment. Just be sure the gift is age-appropriate and suitable to the child's ability.
--Read labels for important information about how to use a toy and what ages the toy is safe for. Make sure the label says 'nontoxic.'
--Think LARGE. Make sure all toys and parts are larger than your child's mouth to prevent choking.
--Avoid toys that shoot objects into the air. They can cause serious eye injuries.
--Avoid toys that are loud to prevent damage to your child's hearing.
--Look for stuffed toys that are well made and machine washable. Take off loose ribbons or strings to avoid strangulation. Avoid toys that have small bean-like pellets or stuffing that can cause choking or suffocation if swallowed.
--Electric toys should be labeled 'UL Approved.'
Tip 2: Check Recall Information
--Toys are recalled for unsafe lead levels, choking or fire hazards, or other problems that make them dangerous. Recalled toys should be removed right away. If you think your child has been exposed to a toy containing lead, ask your child's doctor about testing for elevated blood lead levels.
--Check the Consumer Product Safety Commission Web site for photos and descriptions of all recalled toys.
Tip 3: Decorating: Seasonal Plants can be poisonous
--Poisonous holiday plants include amaryllis, boxwood, Christmas cactus, English and American ivy, Jerusalem or jimson weed, Christmas cherry, mountain laurel, holly and mistletoe berries.
--Contrary to popular belief, poinsettias are not poisonous, but they may cause skin irritation and stomach distress. -
-Other poisons to watch out for this time of year include alcoholic beverages, which are very dangerous to children; flavored baking extracts, which contain high amounts of alcohol; and colored wrapping paper, which may contain lead or other toxic materials.

Announced 2 weeks ago, the successor to the Panasonic G2 has already been tested and briefly reviewed on DxOMark. The Panasonic G3 is more than a simple revamp of its predecessor; this new model represents a leap forward for the G Series with:
When speaking about the G3's sensor in their press release, Panasonic proclaimed it was much better than its predecessor at high ISO settings. With that said, let's check out the DxOMark results.
Here are the full Panasonic Lumic DMC G3 DxOMark results.
It is worth noting that Micro Four Thirds sensors are smaller than APS-C or Full Frame sensors. Their smaller size means less light is captured; it will be quite challenging for sensor manufacturers of this format to achieve a score equal or superior to that of APS-C sensors.
In spite of this physical challenge, the Panasonic G3 has some impressive improvements to be reported:
See here the comparison with the previous G Models: Panasonic G1 vs Panasonic G2 vs Panasonic G3
In comparison with the previous G1 and G2, measurements indeed show a noticeable improvement for high ISO:
When it comes to photonic noise and color sensitivity the G3 has similar behaviors to the GH1 and GH2. Nevertheless on dark noise management, especially at Low ISO the GH-series cameras have the upper hand: Dynamic Range measurements for the GH1 and GH2 are 1 Stop better at low ISO.
See the full comparison here: Panasonic G3 vs Panasonic GH1 vs Panasonic GH2
If the previous G2 was a bit behind the Olympus PEN EP2, the G3 changes the game score and ends up with a tie. The Panasonic G3 not only has exactly the same Overall Score when compared with the Olympus PEN EP2 but it also takes the lead on the Low-Light ISO score.
The more noticeable figures are:
See the full comparison here: Panasonic G3 vs Olympus PEN EP2
Last but not least, the Sony NEX sensor (which is an APS/C) remains higher ranked in every aspect.
See the comparison here: Panasonic Lumix DMC G3 vs Sony NEX 3 vs Sony NEX 5
If you are looking for a compact camera for traveling with a light bag, and you are considering a high-end bridge such as the Canon Powershot G12 or S90, you should take a look to this comparison.
The micro 4/3 camera provides a significantly better image quality on every aspect and in every lighting condition.
See the whole comparison here : Panasonic G3 vs Canon Powershot S95 vs Canon Powershot G12
Panasonic G3 vs Olympus PEN EPL2
Panasonic G3 vs Nikon CoolPix P7000 vs Samsung EX1
Panasonic G3 vs Samsung NX11

Infertility & Reproduction Health Center
How It Is Done continued...
If any of these methods are against your beliefs, talk with your doctor about different methods of collection.
If you collect the semen sample at home, the sample must be received at the laboratory or clinic within 1 hour. Keep the sample out of direct sunlight and do not allow it to get cold or hot. If it is a cold day, carry the semen sample container against your body to keep it as close to body temperature as possible. Do not refrigerate the semen sample.
Since semen samples may vary from day to day, 2 or 3 different samples may be evaluated within a 3-month period for accurate testing.
A semen analysis to test the effectiveness of a vasectomy is usually done 6 weeks after the vasectomy.
How It Feels
Producing a semen sample does not cause any discomfort. But you may feel embarrassed about the method used to collect it.
There are no risks associated with collecting a semen sample.
A semen analysis measures the amount of semen a man produces and determines the number and quality of sperm in the semen sample. Results of a semen analysis are usually available within a day. Normal values may vary from lab to lab.
Semen volume
2–5 milliliters (mL) (0.002–0.005 L in SI units) per ejaculation
An abnormally low or high semen volume is present, which may sometimes cause fertility problems.
Liquefaction time
20–30 minutes after collection
An abnormally long liquefaction time is present, which may indicate an infection.
Sperm count
20 million spermatozoa per milliliter (mL) or more
0 sperm per milliliter if the man has had a vasectomy
A very low sperm count is present, which may mean infertility. But a low sperm count does not always mean that a man cannot father a child. Men with sperm counts below 1 million have fathered children.
Sperm shape (morphology)
More than 30% of the sperm have normal shape.
Kruger criteria: More than 14% of the sperm have a normal shape.
Sperm can be abnormal in several ways, such as having two heads or two tails, a short tail, a tiny head (pinhead), or a round (rather than oval) head. Abnormal sperm may be unable to move normally or to penetrate an egg. Some abnormal sperm are usually found in every normal semen sample. But a high percentage of abnormal sperm may make it more difficult for a man to father a child.
Sperm movement (motility)
More than 50% of the sperm show normal forward movement after 1 hour.
Sperm must be able to move forward (or "swim") through cervical mucus to reach an egg. A high percentage of sperm that cannot swim properly may impair a man's ability to father a child.
Semen pH
Semen pH of 7.1–8.0
An abnormally high or low semen pH can kill sperm or affect their ability to move or to penetrate an egg.
White blood cells
No white blood cells or bacteria are detected.
Bacteria or a large number of white blood cells are present, which may indicate an infection.

Retiring from a 29-year-career at FedEx and giving up his health and dental insurance left Harold Davis with a bad taste in his mouth.
That distaste turned to pain when Davis' teeth began to betray him. The 66-year-old Marine Corps veteran from Gastonia sought assistance at Gaston Family Health Services, which provides one of the few available dental care options for the uninsured.
"I just thank God they've got a place like this where a regular working man can come down and get help," Davis said Wednesday, before an examination to determine his need for dentures.
Inadequate funding and a dependence on Medicaid patients was already severely limiting how many uninsured patients the dental clinic could help. But beginning in February, it will serve even less of them, due to a severe cutback in support from CaroMont Health and its flagship facility, Gaston Memorial Hospital.
A $480,000-a-year supplement from the hospital has been eliminated.
"It just gets worse for uninsured patients," said Dr. William Donigan, the GFHS dental director. "As hard as it was to get in, it's going to be even harder now."
The hospital's decision to cut the funding is based partly on higher costs it is facing due to federal health care reform, said Penny Cowden, CaroMont's vice president of marketing and communications. It's also tied to a dispute between CaroMont executives and Gaston County commissioners, who want the nonprofit hospital to provide more money each year in lieu of taxes.
Gaston Family Health Services was one of the largest recipients each year of funds that were donated through the CaroMont Health Foundation. But money was also disbursed to other agencies in need, such as the Gaston County Health Department.
The bulk of that funding is now a thing of the past.
"When we look forward, we have a lot of unknowns," said Cowden. "We have financial pressure and we need to focus on funding our own needs first."
Funding cut
GFHS was formed in 1991 to build on the services of the county health department and provide family health care – regardless of ability to pay. It receives $525,000 a year from the county tax base, but largely depends on grants to fund its $12 million Gaston County budget.
For 21 years, like clockwork, it received $40,000 a month – or $480,000 annually – from the CaroMont Health Foundation, said GFHS Director Robert Spencer.
In October, CaroMont issued a statement to the organizations that had traditionally applied for foundation funding. It clarified that the foundation was changing and would no longer be giving out grants or benevolent support for nonprofits.
"They did a complete 180 with the purpose of their foundation," Spencer said.
Spencer said he heard at the time that because GFHS' work is supportive of CaroMont's mission, some other operational revenues might become available. But by December, he was told by CaroMont CEO Randall Kelley that wouldn't be the case.
The key reason given, said Spencer, was the hospital's ongoing financial disagreement with Gaston County commissioners.
"The last word I heard from them was they weren't saying no, but they weren't funding anything until these negotiations with the county were worked out," said Spencer. "Now I've got a $500,000 hole in my budget I've got to figure out how to fill.
"We've been forced to make some tough decisions."
Financial uncertainties
CaroMont formerly transferred 10 percent of its net profit each year to its hospital foundation. That money went to grants for internal departments and community groups, Cowden said.
Eighteen organizations applied for $2.3 million in donations last year. On average, the foundation awarded about $1.3 million a year in grants, she said.
Reforms being instituted through the federal health care mandate prompted CaroMont to rethink its generosity.
"The decision was made to stop transferring money to the foundation, and to have it serve as a fundraising foundation," said Cowden. "We just don't have the capital to meet those needs anymore."
Sponsorships from the hospital marketing department will continue to be given out, though in much smaller amounts, she said.
The decision was also driven by the funding disagreement between county commissioners and hospital leaders, Cowden said.
"That is definitely playing a role in it," she said."
CaroMont has 22 years remaining on a contract that involves it leasing the hospital building and land from the county for $1 a year. Because CaroMont pays only minimal taxes here, county commissioners want it to contribute more annual money in lieu of taxes, to help fund other county needs.
CaroMont counters that its public, nonprofit status requires it to reinvest revenue in the community, and that it already contributes more than $100 million a year here to absorb bad debt and provide charity care.
Commissioners have exerted political pressure of late by appointing new members to the hospital's board of directors.
Cowden said the county has suggested it wants anywhere from $2.5 million to $7 million a year in lieu of taxes, which paints an unpredictable picture for CaroMont.
"We've got to be careful, because we still have to fund our own capital needs," she said.
Windows closing
The lost $480,000 will prompt a number of cost-cutting measures at GFHS.
Employees there will no longer receive Veterans Day as a holiday. Lab services will be contracted out to a cheaper provider.
Other changes will involve cuts to patient care.
Emergency departments have long been a haven for the uninsured, whether or not they truly need immediate medical aid. For years, such patients who showed up at Gaston Memorial have been referred to a primary care provider at GFHS.
"We provided a system where they could appoint patients into our clinic," said Spencer. "We are now doing away with that system because we can't afford to maintain it."
The dental clinic, which typically pulls and fills teeth, engages in a Medicaid-driven balancing act. Only about 30 percent of patients seen there are completely uninsured. The clinic must maintain a certain percentage of Medicaid patients in order to fund services for everyone, officials say.
"I used to see four to five patients a day who were uninsured, out of a dozen or so total," said Donigan, the dental director. "We're having to cut that in half."
Competition for the uninsured slots is fierce, and weekly appointments are filled in no time. People calling for appointments often become frustrated by busy dial tones and the small window of opportunity.
Most uninsured patients will now have to be funneled into a program that requires them to pay $75 per tooth procedure, Donigan said.
Davis, the uninsured veteran, is one of the lucky ones. But he feels for those who won't be so fortunate.
"I think they do a wonderful job," he said of the clinic workers. "Without this place, there'd be a lot of people who couldn't afford dental or anything."

Frequently asked questions. Have a question? Post it here or to one of our Mailing Lists.
boo is licensed under a MIT/BSD style license. The current license is always available here.
How complete is boo at the present moment? What's its current status?
Boo is already usable for a large variety of tasks but there still are lots of things in our todo list.
Performance: since it is statically typed, can I expect a performance equal or close to c# or vb.net?
How different is it from Python?
See Gotchas for Python Users for a summary.
Is it feasable to use boo for building desktop or asp.net applications?
Yes. Boo can already be used to implement WinForms/GTK# applications. Take a look at the extras/boox folder for an example.
On the asp.net front, thanks to Ian it's already possible to directly embed boo code inside asp.net pages, handlers or webservices. examples/asp.net should give you an idea of how everything works right now.
(Sharp|Mono)Develop bindings?
Daniel Grunwald has made great progress on the SharpDevelop front. Get the latest sources from both repositories (SharpD and boo) to check it out.
As for MonoDevelop, it includes a Boo binding, written by Peter Johanson, leveraging the parser code written by Daniel Grunwald for the SharpDevelop binding. It includes Boo project creation/editing/compiling, as well as an interactive shell with Gtk# integration. See the monodevelop page for more information on installing it.
I see references on the site for .NET 1.1 and .NET 2.0, does Boo
support .NET 3.0?
.NET 3.0 is actually just an update to the framework and not to the
CLR or any of the "official" languages. As such, it should be
supported by any .NET-2.0-supporting language, such as Boo
Also, Boo release .78 is the last version of Boo that will support .NET 1.1.
"What's a good way to get started with Boo (editors/IDEs)?"
Fire up a console and check out booish – out built-in editor to check out the basics. Then grab a copy of Sharpdevelop or monodevelop ease into developing with Boo.
"What do people use for building 'real' Boo applications?"
On Windows, Sharpdevelop is the most robust and stable IDE for developing BOO applications. Linux and Mac users develop with their favorite text editor. The monodevelop team are hard at work developing a more professional development environment that will support Boo along with other .NET languages.
When will version 1.0 be available?
When Boo is written in Boo it will be dubbed version 1.0.

Joost van der Westhuizen's attack on Bolla Conradie has infuriated the Stormers management, particularly coach Kobus van der Merwe.
Former Bok captain and scrumhalf Van der Westhuizen, now an anchor for Superrugby – the Afrikaans weekly magazine show – castigated Conradie for his behaviour during the Stormers' win over the Cats Ellis Park.
Conradie and Ricky Januarie were extremely confrontational for their duration on the field, but Van der Westhuizen took particular offence to Conradie's alleged use of foul language and his celebration over scoring his try – when he kissed De Wet Barry on the cheek.
"We are upset about the attack on Bolla. We are not playing bowls. Obviously the players are going to get hot under the collar on occasions, especially because they are vying for the same position in the national side," coach Van der Merwe told Die Burger.
"Joost claimed that referee Tappe Henning had told him after the match that Bolla had sworn. I did, however, phone Tappe and he denied having said so to Joost.
"According to Tappe he simply told Joost that he had to speak to Bolla and Ricky because they were in one another's hair all the time.
"I have already requested our CEO, Rob Wagner, to take up the matter with SuperSport.
Van der Westhuizen, however, remains defiant and is refusing to retract his comments.
"Tappe told me he was shocked at the swearing on the field. When you study a video of the game you can clearly see Conradie swearing.
"It is not only my opinion, but Kobus Wiese and Errol Tobias agree. I stand by what I said."
Van der Westhuizen is sure to endure criticism for what is perceived as anti-Cape bias. Back in 2003 he famously told Quinton Davids – who arrived late for a gym session – not to "bring your Western Province manners here."
Van der Westhuizen appears to have found backing in the form of Supersport CEO Gert Roets, who indicated he would not take the matter up with is anchor.
"I don't wish to get involved in a verbal war between unions, but Joost has the fullest right to voice his opinion," Roets stated.

New Jersey may be home to Bruce Springsteen and Bon Jovi, but for a summer night in August, Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers brought a little bit of California to the Garden State.
My Morning Jacket wrapped up their run opening for the Heartbreakers at the Izod Center on Tuesday night with an astounding set of songs from across their five fantastic studio albums, as well as one new unreleased song, "Circuital." Though they were only on the tour for three shows, MMJ brought an awe-inspiring energy to the show that seemingly converted the uninitiated into fervent fans every night.
With Tom sporting a long black duster jacket, the Heartbreakers took the stage promptly at nine o'clock and proceeded to pulverize the packed Izod Center with a blistering set of hits, deep cuts, covers and new songs off Mojo. "Mary Jane's Last Dance" stewed and simmered to a boil, but the highlight of the night may have been the guitar interplay between Mike Campebll and Scott Thurston on an explosive "I Should Have Known It."

Do your mornings and afternoons start with a "cup of joe?" If you love coffee, you have plenty of company. When you shop for coffee, coffee makers and supplies at Office Depot, you have lots of choices! That's true if you are brand loyal, sticking with the coffee your parents and grandparents enjoyed. It's also true if you like one or more of the newer brands, as well as a wide variety of new roasts from veteran coffee companies. From French roast to Hawaiian Islands blend, decaf to organic, instant to drip, you'll find all your favorite brands and blends in one convenient place. Work alone or with a small team? Have limited storage space? Choose single-brew packets and store them in a small basket near the coffee maker. Making coffee for a large group of employees and visitors? Invest in larger quantities, from jumbo canisters to cases. If you want to offer that "coffee house" experience to employees and guests, invest in a Keurig coffee maker. Choosy and non-choosy coffee drinkers alike welcomed the Keurig, or K-cup, machine with great enthusiasm. Now everyone at the office can have a freshly brewed mug of coffee that meets their specific needs. As K-cups have grown more popular, Keurig has added more features to its coffee makers, such as multiple brew sizes per machine and quieter operation. If you want to brew your favorite K-cup variety without leaving your seat, choose a desk-top personal brewer for the ultimate in convenience. Office Depot also carries drip coffee makers in many sizes and styles. If your department wants a basic coffee maker, choose a 12-cup model with a glass carafe. Ready to upgrade to a fancier model? Look for programmable thermal coffee makers with stainless steel carafes. For larger groups of coffee drinkers, a model with two warmers might be the best solution. Whatever coffee and coffee maker you choose, be sure to stock up on coffee filters, creamer, sweeteners and other supplies so you never run out when you need it.

As good as Chatori Major was this season, the Lejeune High standout will not be recognized for being the best girls' basketball player in the Coastal Plains 1-A Conference.
Despite her efforts this season, the senior guard was not named girls' basketball player of the year by the
Instead, East Carteret's LaShaunda Rogers was given the award as voted by the league coaches following the conclusion of the regular season and prior to the CPC tournament.
"I was shocked," said Lejeune coach Kevin Popadines, who to add injury to insult wasn't named the league's coach of the year.
With all due respect to the recipient, simply put, the coaches got it wrong.
How do you deny the conference's best player — and Major was certainly the best player — from being named the conference player of the year.
"I feel like I got to give credit when credit is due. That girl is a baller," Pamlico coach April Rose said of Major. "She is tough and she can score at will."
Look, I understand how this looks on the surface. I am not bashing another player or trying to diminish her efforts this season.
That's not the case.
I am simply defending a player who clearly performed at a high level throughout the season in helping Lejeune win the CPC regular-season and tournament championships and advance to the East Regionals.
Ahh, but the voting process took place before the postseason you say?
Well considered this: Major, who will play at UNC-Asheville next season, ended the regular season averaging about 23 points per game. While Lejeune had other good players, she was the clear catalysis for the Devilpups' success this season. Lejeune was undefeated until its loss to River Mill.
Lejeune was the best team in the league and had the best player.
And so the question is what made the coaches decide to not go with Major as their player of the year? It wasn't because Popadines didn't follow the proper protocol in nominating Major for the award.
"I took care of it," he said. "I didn't think it would be an issue at all."
Instead, there might have been other issues that led to Major not being honored, one coach said.
"I think that coaches look at the entire aspect of an athlete," said Jones Senior coach Debbie Philyaw, who declined to disclose her vote. "I know in the past (a player didn't get the award) because of a sportsmanship aspect. I'm not saying this happened this year by any means. … Who knows why people voted the way they did?"
One reason, I was told by some coaches, was Major's demeanor.
OK, I get it.
Watch Major play and you can tell she plays with an edge. She plays to win and nothing will stop her. That's why Major is so good. A lot of great athletes play like that.
"She does play with an edge, but that's not something to take out on a kid," Popadines said. "To penalize her for that, I don't think that's right."
But it seems as if some coaches were offended by this. Major simply wasn't liked by some coaches. And to be honest, it's some these same coaches who would prefer their teams play a mugging-type of defense on Major instead of actually defending her.
Southwest coach Bev Marley declined to comment and Dixon coach Christel Caliguire couldn't be reached for comment.
"I feel like there was a conspiracy against him (Popadines) and his team," Rose said. "There really was no formality (in the voting process). I feel like there was no stats given. There was a little bit (for another player) and (it was mentioned) that she had a great attitude and how that was what we needed."
_ And just a note to catch up on loose ends from the 1-A regionals in Fayetteville, Northside's Jamal Parker and Lejeune's Chatori Major both earned spots on the boys' and girls' all-regional tournament teams.

Brian (the anthropomorphized dog) is portrayed as the most intelligent character on the animated series. He shows his copy of Dawkins' book to a girl he is interested in.
Granted, this is comedy. Nevertheless, anything that draws attention to books like "The God Delusion" is a good thing (imo.) Seth MacFarlane's satire of family values is wonderfully heretical.

Check back regularly for news, coverage, and announcements about MAVA.
The DC region has the second highest tech job growth in the US after NY this year, according to a recent DICE report. But new recruiting tools are making it easier for other states to gain on us.
Virginia better look out because Maryland is adding tech jobs like crazy. The state topped the DICE list of the fastest-growing states for job growth, increasing tech employment 6% this year. It has defense contractors, too, but the state is also seeing demand from local hospitals, biotech, and healthcare services. Other states in the mix: Massachusetts, Minnesota, Oregon, and Utah.
Maryland, and other states, have a new recruiting tool. It's been less than a month since Barrel of Jobs soft launched, and chief strategy officer Julie Kantor reports that the site already has 1,000 jobs listed in over 10 states, with users like Comcast, National Geographic, Burger King, and WeddingWire. When a job gets posted, users share it through social media and email. Once a person gets hired, the people who passed around that particular posting get compensated. Julie says it works because jobs are filled more quickly and cheaply with high-quality candidates.

Men's Basketball to Play on National Radio Saturday Afternoon; Travel to UDC for Rematch with Firebirds
January 28, 2011
MISENHEIMER, N.C. The Pfeiffer University mens basketball team will be heard from coast-to-coast on Saturday afternoon as their matchup at the University of D.C. will be heard live nationwide on Sirius/XM satellite radio. The Heritage Sports Radio Network (HSRN) will carry the contest with a three-man broadcast team on XM/Sirius channel 153 and on the web at HSRN.com. Ralph Wesley will handle the play-by-play, Mike Walker will take care of the color while LeCounte Conaway will handle everything courtside.
The Heritage Sports Radio Network (HSRN) is committed to using new technologies to present nationwide broadcast of major college athletics of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Presently the Black Collegiate sports fan is a media orphan who has no outlet to experience the joy of athletic competition at HCBUs. The popularity for Black Collegiate sports is readily evident in the extraordinary attendance figures at football games. Through the creative use of satellite radio, Internet web casts, as well as traditional terrestrial radio, HSRN is uniquely poised to provide desired programming to an underserved but devoted target market.
Our basketball team looks forward to traveling to Washington, DC to compete against a tough opponent in UDC, commented head coach Jeremy Currier. We are extremely excited about the opportunity to represent Pfeiffer University in the national media this weekend.
The Firebirds scored a 94-90 win over the Falcons on January 12th in Misenheimer as both teams shot over 50% from the floor. The Falcons are led by senior Chris Woods (Thomasville, NC) who is currently fourth in the nation in rebounds per game and fifth in points per game. Woods continues to average a nightly double-double leading Conference Carolinas in both categories while Jeff Pettiway (Edgewood, MD) leads the league in free throw percentage.
We have been blessed with tremendous support of our program from the Pfeiffer faculty, staff, students, and local community, said Currier. We will continue to work as hard as we can to make Falcon Nation proud.
The 30-minute pregame studio show with Omarr Bashir will begin at 2:30 p.m. with tipoff scheduled for 3:00 p.m. Coach Currier will also be featured in a pregame interview just before the initial jump.

are you crazy?
Demps said at the press conference that he really believes Wolves will be better this season, and that pick is not a lock to be a high one. If he really believes this, do you think he is shopping the pick around the league to teams that have less faith in the Wolves?
If teams think that pick is guaranteed to be top 5 in a somewhat loaded draft, what would they give up for it? Do you listen to those offers and maybe pull the trigger or do you take the risk and bet on another year of T'Wolves misery.
Assets are like stocks and this stock is pretty high right now. It could go up a little higher, but it has more room to fall than rise. I would at least listen. You?
Absolutely not. Sounds like Demps is preparing himself, just incase they are good.
They're gonna tank.
To deep of a draft id take a chance and wait it out to see where that pick falls.
I'd hold on to the pick.
Any offer that will be coming our way for the pick will most likely have us taking someone that's not on their rookie contract anymore.
I want the cheap young talent more than anything. That pick will at least be top 10, and in this draft, that might as well be top 5.
What for? Ideally we want a young stud big to match with Gordon. That list is pretty short and a little sketchy.
Kevin Love
DeMarcus Cousins
Greg Monroe
Hornets would still have their own 1st rounder and a young vet in Lopez as opposed to taking their chances in the lottery and then taking their chances again on a 19 year old.
I will list to offers and reject the silly ones, consider the others.
Pick for Iguodala = silly.
Pick for Rubio and Love = hmmmm
Pick, Aminu, Gordon, Kaman for Paul and Bledsoe = pure comedy
I wouldn't give away the pick. It's way too valuable for a team like us. We need to find that face of the franchise player and our 2 picks in the first in that very deep draft increases our chance at finding him. Keep the pick, and don't look back.
Absolutely not. Even if the Wolves aren't the most awful team in the entire league like most people think, there is still no way that their pick won't be in the lottery. Wolves ceiling is late lottery pick. If you don't think that, then you pretty much think that the wolves are a playoff team which i just can't see at all. So if the pick turns out to be a late lottery pick, in this draft you're still looking at some REALLY good players.
I'm starting to worry that instead of rebuilding Demps is going to make some rash moves to patch things up and make a .500ish 8th seed type of team. I really don't see what you could get for that pick that would be better than it's potential. Multiple picks? An extremely promising player under 25?
Now is not the time to be trading for 'established players.' This team needs to build a base first.
We need to either tank, or be contenders. Period. And the latter isn't happening anytime soon.
Of course you want Dell Demps to listen to offers. He's not doing his job if he's not listening to even the craziest proposals. But in reality you want to think certain things are not tradible like say a top level pg or a number one overall draft pick.
Unknown Poster, relax man this is coming from a poster, not Demps, Demps understand how value this pick is and the only way i can see him trading it, is if someone offer some young up and coming players plus their number 1.
You're talking about unproven talent in the lotto, then say you would consider a trade involving two completely unproven talents. Neither have stepped on a court.
I like this guy's enthusiasm.
I would consider trading the pick for another pick that we KNOW will be low. Like, maybe a swap including other players, of picks with Toronto? I mean we know Toronto will be a very low pick.
What players could we possibly get with the pick? I see some people suggesting Love, and I just don't see that as a option. Do we really think Minn. would consider trading Kevin Love for their own pick back? Sounds crazy to me but I would do it in a heart beat. A. HEARTBEAT.
As for Brook Lopez? Not too high on him. He doesn't do what I want in center as well as I would like: Defend and Rebound.
Greg Monroe? I would consider it. I mean we would still have our own pick and he is due to break out at any time.
