You all know I can watch college football for hours at a time and I do just that. And I do my best with this site to be objective in terms of my rooting interests because I'm watching it primarily to scout players. But I love college football. Not like I love my family, but after my family, it's right up there. I can become so engrossed in a game, that my kids are concerned for my well being. This weekend, we have several of those moments both good and bad. Let's get after it and talk about all the big news that was Championship weekend in college football.
I was going to say game of the week here, but there really isn't one. Practically every game was epic, so I'll just go in chronological order starting with the Thursday night tilt between Oregon and Oregon State in the Civil War. The prize? The PAC-10 title and a trip to the Rose Bowl. Huge stakes but I have to admit I didn't think that Oregon State had enough offense, and especially enough defense to travel to Eugene and pull off the upset. And up until the final few minutes I was dead wrong. I applaud Oregon State for their effort. Sean Canfield showed a ton of skill in the passing game, and I'm sure sparked the interest of NFL scouts. And the Rogers brothers, Jacquizz and James simply torched the Ducks defense over and over again. If James Rogers were a couple inches taller he'd be absolutely dominant, but it showed late in the game, when Canfield had to put the ball high over a defender, Rogers didn't have enough Anatomy to get the football. On the other side, the Ducks simply played their game. Lots of LaMichael James and Jeremiah Masoli running the football, and some controlled passing with great runs after the catch. They don't trick anyone with what they do, but they do execute and on that final drive, when they had to convert 2 4th downs to run out the clock, it was great execution by the offense that closed the deal. Oh, and this game marked the return of LaGarrette Blount as well who had 51 yards and a touchdown. To be completely honest, I hate Blount is back on the Ducks team, and I still contend if this team is playing .500 football he doesn't come back at all. But regardless he's on the team, and seems to be getting worked into the offense. But he's not why they won. Not even close. Next year's Heisman watch list should have LaMichael James squarely at the top. He's a very special player. Congrats to both these teams on great seasons and wow what a way to start Championship week!
A quick note on Central Michigan quarterback Dan LeFevour. He's had an amazing career at Central Michigan, and seems like we've been watching him play forever. He's become quite an intriguing draft prospect because of his production and athleticism. He's certainly experienced and has shown himself to be able to produce on a consistent basis, and his physical body and athletic ability will be enticing for an NFL team.
I won't say the C-USA title game was as important nationally as the PAC-10 Title game, but it was just as exciting. Houston QB Case Keenum topped 500 passing yards, and had 5 touchdowns in the loss mainly because his defense had no answer for the ECU offense and 4 bigtime turnovers by the Cougar offense. Another game that came down to a final drive with under 7 minutes to play. A tremendous effort by both teams. There are some great storylines in this game. First is Keenum. He's been a hot name in the Heisman Trophy discussion, but his inability to win games, regardless of his video game stats exposes him. If Graham Harrell couldn't win last year with how great Texas Tech did, no one should take Keenum seriously when he couldn't close the deal in so many games. He's great to watch and incredibly entertaining, but not a serious Heisman contender, and I'm not sure if he's a serious draft prospect either. The second great story in this game are the records. There were better than 25 C-USA Title game records broken Saturday. The bar has been set high for this fairly young game, and will be tough to match. A final storyline that I am really interested in are the head coaches. Both Houston coach Kevin Sumlin and ECU coach Skip Holtz have been mentioned as up and comers for bigger and better jobs. Both are of serious interest to the University of Kansas and to be honest, both these guys deserve a shot to run a major conference college program and I suspect both will be very soon.
Next came the Big East matchup between Rutgers and West Virginia. No title on the line, but they refused to be outdone so they put on a great show themselves, with the effort by West Virginia punctuated with a brutal stiff arm by WVU quarterback Jarrett Brown to Rutgers DE George Johnson on third down to wrap it all up for the Mountaineers. Another game that went back and forth the entire time, and just to watch the effort both these teams put out made me proud to be a college football fan. Congrats to the Mountaineers, but the Scarlet Knights have nothing to be ashamed of either
If Rutgers/WVU was the Big East undercard, the Cincinnati/Pittsburgh game was the heavyweight title fight. And to continue to be a broken record, this game delivered on the hype and did not fail to maintain the intensity we'd been seeing in games all day long. Although Cinci won(more on that in a moment), I have to first give props to Pitt freshman RB Deon Lewis. His game was outstanding in a loss. He toted the rock 47 times for 194 yards and 3 touchdowns. That effort is why Pitt was up by 21 over the Bearcats late in the first half. But after halftime, Cinci QB Tony Pike came out slinging it, and when you have guys like Mardy Gilyard and Armon Binns to throw it to, you gotta cut loose. And that's just what he did. More on Gilyard. He's such an underrated player. He gets a bad rap because of the offense at Cinci, but at the next level he's going to be a great slot receiver and dynamic kick returner. Think Devin Hester but effective on offense. I really thought the weather was going to bury the Bearcats and play right into the power running of the Panthers, but it didn't happen. Can't help when Gilyard is getting 99 yard kickoff returns followed up with a 49 yarder that should have been another touchdown.
Even though there was nothing on the line, the Fresno State/Illinois game was every bit as exciting as anything we saw all weekend. This game was an absolute heart breaker for Illinois, and Fresno State score a touchdown with only 2 seconds to go. At that point they had a choice Kick the PAT and go to overtime, or go for 2 and try and win it outright. It was such a gutsy call to go for two, and his team didn't let him down. Well OG Devan Cunningham didn't. On a play that has to be seen to be appreciated, Cunningham hauled in a pass that was deflected by an Illinois DB and like a ballerina, Cunningham lumbered into the endzone for the 2pt conversion and the win. The refs reviewed it to be sure it hadn't been touched by a Fresno State player, which would have made Cunningham's play a penalty. It was legit and he was the hero. In a game where the regular players for Fresno State came up big, namely RB Ryan Matthews who continued to be the best back no one has heard of, it's awesome to have an OG like Cunningham seal the deal.
Moving ahead slightly I would be remiss if I didn't mention the Arizona/USC game. First off, I know USC will be better next year. They aren't going to have much in the way of significant losses on either side of the ball, but for this year, seeing them mortal has been pretty sweet. I expected the defense to be bad, but not this bad. And with a Freshman at Qb, I expected to see more running the football, but that hasn't happened either. But sort of like why Pluto is no longer a planet, I don't fully understand it, but I'm just glad it happened.
Now I want to talk about the SEC Title game. I know this is a bigger game than the Big 12 Title game, but I have no idea how long my rant about that game will be, and for this game, I surprisingly don't have as much to say as you might thing. Alabama came out and went American History X on the Gators. Florida has probably won 8 games in the last two years before they stepped off the bus. It reminded me a lot of those Niners teams of the 90's. They had teams so intimidated they had the game won in their opponents heads before a snap. Well Saturday, Alabama didn't give a damn if they were playing the Florida Gators or a team of real alligators. They had no fear. In fact, they came out with the supreme belief that they were the better team. And boy were they. I loved seeing Mark Ingram have a huge game and get an invite to NYC for the Heisman Ceremony. It's especially sweet after all the flames I saw about Ingram after the Auburn game. Dopes. You judge a player by a single game whether it's positive or negative is asinine. Ingram and his teammates were dominant in all phases of the game. The defense clogged all the running lanes, and the secondary exposed Tim Tebow's significant shortcomings of his passing game. He was outmatched. Alabama earned the right to play for the National Championship and I am a little disappointed after a beatdown like this, they BCS kept Florida in a big bowl.
To wrap up the day, we got the Texas Longhorns and the Nebraska Cornhuskers in the Big 12 Title game. This game wasw just as exciting as the others, even if it lacked the explosive offense. Why? First because it had Ndamukong Suh. He had what has to be considered the most dominant individual defensive performance in Big 12 history, and probably 1 of the 3 or 4 most dominant I've ever seen in college football. He manhandled the Longhorns line, with their only success doubling Suh, and running far away from him. He took Colt McCoy at one point and just tossed him like a rag doll. His combination of power and athleticism, paired with supreme effort is as good as I've seen in a decade at least. But back to the game. All in all, it was a bit of a slow plodder. Both defense yoked up and playing hard, and both offenses struggling to find their way. So we fast forward to the end of the game. The Cornhuskers have taken the lead and the clock is running out of the Longhorn's season. But as Colt McCoy is rolling out and the clock is ticking down in the back of my mind I just keep thinking, "after the bad kickoff and horse collar tackle, it can't be this easy." McCoy regardless of what he said post game, had no clue how much time was left on the clock. In fact I'd say he was more likely watching the playclock before the snap and not the game clock. he rolls out and with only 3 seconds to go, throwed a fluttering duck out of bounds which bounced harmlessly to the ground, and you saw the clock go to zeros and Nebraska is headed to a BCS Bowl.
But not so fast. The refs review the play, and determine that the Longhorns should have one second left on the clock, and they in turn kick the game winning field goal, sealing the fate of the Cornhuskers and their ticket to the BCS Title game. As I said on Twitter the second it was reversed it was a bad call, and now 24 hours later I stand by that. I've watched the play 2 dozen times, and I have seen nothing to tell me the Texas Longhorns get one more play. Now hear me out. I have read a lot of people saying that when the ball his the ground there was still a second on the clock. That's wrong. Technically there was less than one second on the clock. How much less I do not know, but there was indeed less than one second. Second, I have read that when the ball his the clock, the play was dead. That's not technically true either. A play is stopped by the officials blowing it dead. That's indisputable. We are dealing with 3 dynamics here. The ball hitting the ground, the refs recognizing it, and blowing the play dead, and the timekeeper acknowledging that, and stopping the clock. A chain of 3 events all intertwined and dependent on the other, and 3 things that work together 80+ times in every game. What players, fans, coaches and the NCAA has come to expect and to accept is that in that course of events, there will be time run off due to the reaction time of the human beings involved. As I said it happens again and again in games every weekend, without debate or criticism. A back runs into the end zone for a score, 1 second ticks off before referee can react, they blow the whistle, another half second, the time keeper reacts and stops the clock, and you've essentially lost 3 seconds form when the back scored, and it's never debated. Never.
I have no problem with a review and reversal of an incorrect call, but this call was not incorrect. In fact it was exactly correct from the perspective of human reaction, and what is accepted universally by all teams. Stopping a play and the clock is not an exact science. So why did it need to be last night? Is it right to be so arbitrary in applying such specific rules in a situation like that? I'd say no. And I say this as a college football fan who dislikes both the Longhorns and Cornhuskers. Most arguing that Texas should have had a second left, are participating in one of the errors I pointed out above. You either assume the clock is supposed to instantly stop when the play ends, which is not true, or you assume that even if the timekeeper shuts the clock off the instant the ball does touch the ground, the clock would have stopped on 1. It may very well have stopped on zero, simply because of the split second delay between the switch and the light. Do we review and reverse those too? Can the speed of a circuit closing be reviewed by the booth?
The bottom line for me on the end of that game is this. Colt McCoy made a stupid stupid decision on that play. In terms of idiotic clock management, he's the fairy princess to Queen of Clock Mangementovia Les Miles. You should not be rewarded for that. Miles sure as Hell wasn't. And then as I was thinking about that LSU game, and decided to watch it over again, the end, to check for timing issues. 4th and 26, time running out and Jefferson throws the bomb and it's caught. The LSU wide out hits the ground, down by contact stopping the play. According to those defending the Texas call, the play is over(meaning the clock is to stop) when LeFell his the turf. And after he does, I am able to count a full count of 2, before the official runs up and blows the whistle and waves his arms indicating to stop the clock. 3 extra seconds off the clock from the time the player hit the ground to the clock stopping. LSU tries but with only 1 second doesn't have time to spike it, and they lose. Someone who is defending what the refs did to Nebraska tell me why they did not review that timing? It was certainly as significant a call in that game as it was for Texas. End of the game, opportunity for a game winning field goal. And why wasn't Miles screaming for the review? BECAUSE IN FOOTBALL, YOU ASSUME THERE IS SOME TIME LOST TO HUMAN REACTION TIME AND YOU ACCEPT IT AS PART OF THE GAME! If the Refs had gone back in the LSU game and reviewed that play, and stopped the clock when the play was dead, not when the timekeeper stopped the clock in reaction to the referee signal, they'd have had at least 3 seconds and possibly 4. Plenty of time to stop the clock to kick. But they didn't get that chance. But Texas did. And they shouldn't have. It was a bad reversal, it was not a correct reversal, but it did assure Texas of a BCS Title shot, and I think that's what was more important at the time, than getting the call right. And let's not forget something else. It's NEVER a good idea to leave a game, any game whether it's a title game or not to leave it in the hands of the officials to decide. That is not why they play to let the guys in striped shirts decide the outcome. And especially not by attempting to arbitrarily applying rules(incorrectly).
At this point, I am going to just sit back and wait for the BCS Championship game. Because if Texas thought they had a hard time moving the ball on Nebraska just wait until they get a gander at the Alabama defense. And that 'Bama offense is going to bring the rain. I hope the Crimson steeps on their heads and routs them. Roll Tide!

Type: Bug
Status: In Progress

Affects Version/s: 2.1.1

Component/s: ORM
Security Level: All
Environment:Debian Linux 6.0, MySQL 5.0.51a
Lazy loading does not work for the relationships of an instance of an entity, whose class inherits from another entity class.
Assume there are two entity classes, A and B, where A inherits from B.
Now let $a be an instance of A, e. g. the result of "SELECT a FROM \A WHERE a.id = 1".
Outputting $a will confirm it is a valid instance of a proxy object inheriting from A.
Assume that the database row corresponding to $a contains a non-null foreign key that actually links to an existing row in another table, corresponding to another entity instance of a different class.
Now, $a->someRelationship will always returns null in this scenario. I assume this is unintended behaviour, because clearly, the other entity should be lazily loaded on accessing it, and there is a value in the database.
The fetch annotation attribute on that relationship has not been explicitly set, so I assume it is set to the default value, which, according to the docs, should be "lazy".
The loading only fails when accessing the relationships of an entity instance, whose class inherits from another entity class. For entity instances, whose classes do not inherit from another entity class, lazy loading of their relationships works as expected.
I had a look at the proxy objects and verified that they are present and override the __get method with an implementation containing a call to the load() method. Still, the loading won't work for some reason.
This could be related to Bug
DDC-1389 (http://www.doctrine-project.org/jira/browse/DDC-1389) which also happens exclusively in an inheritance scenario. Maybe the current implementation of inheritance is generally wrong or incomplete.
Did this get fixed with the correction of your data?
No i only checked the validity of mappings with the original data. If you could setup a testcase that would be really great.
I will set up a test case and upload it. I'll see if I can do it one of the next evenings.
I tried again, also extended DDC-1390, but it was impossible for me to reproduce this. I ran this against master, 2.1.x and 2.1.1 specifically.
Sorry, I got swamped with work. Now I am working on this dedicatedly, testing against the latest release. Will let you know once I have a testcase.
Good to hear, thanks for the persistent work on this.

Franchising is a business opportunity that's somewhere between buying an existing business and launching a startup in terms of creativity, independence and risk. A franchisee buys a license from a franchisor to be a dealer of that business model. The owner of the franchise sells a product or service through its franchisees.
In exchange for an initial set-up fee and a monthly payment, the franchisor provides the franchisee a business model, marketing supplies, staff-training assistance, managerial consulting and a pre-existing supply chain. Also, the franchisee benefits from the franchisor's economies of scale, receiving access to prices that a business owner may not otherwise get running a single shop.
There is, in theory, less risk to buying a franchise business than starting a business from scratch because the business model has been tested. Also, as a franchise unit owner, you have a built-in advisory board in the management staff of the umbrella franchise organization. On the downside, you have less creative control over your business as a franchisee than as an independent business owner.

Apple's rumored iWatch is of questionable value.
Bet you didn't know Apple Inc.'s iWatch is for sale for only $98 on eBay. In fact, I bet eBay didn't know, either, even though there is a product listing complete with picture on the online marketplace. It even comes up in Google shopping search results. (EBay says the product listing does not violate its terms because it does not mention a brand name, it just says iWatch. An eBay spokeswoman would not comment on the authenticity of the item in the product listing.)
That iWatch is a PhotoShop mock-up that has been circulating the web (see image). Apple is rumored to be creating an iWatch to be debuted sometime in the next year. Last month the New York Times reported on Apple's plans to craft a watch that would run the iOS mobile operating system and through Bluetooth wireless networking links work in tandem with iPhone, iPod Touch and iPad devices. Apple did not respond to a request for comment.
Samsung joined the fun when Lee Young Hee, executive vice president of the No. 2 smartphone maker's mobile business, told Bloomberg News, "We've been preparing the watch product for so long. We are working very hard to get ready for it. We are preparing products for the future, and the watch is definitely one of them."
Deal aggregator BuyVia today released results from its Apple Rumors Survey. The survey reveals that the five most coveted Apple iWatch features are—in order of preference—e-mail/text message capabilities, incoming calls, GPS/maps integration, Wi-Fi and weather. 26% of respondents say they are interested in purchasing the watch, 38% are not interested in purchasing, and 36% are unsure if they would purchase such a device.
I have to admit, the concept of a smart-watch is very cool. But what would an iWatch or Samsung watch do that an iPhone or Galaxy S4 couldn't do? I imagine that an iWatch would jam into a somewhat clunky form factor the best of the iPhone, and through a Bluetooth link to your iPhone enable a full calendar and other smartphone features.
But my question is, Why buy an iWatch when you already have an iPhone? Because of the tiny form factor of the iWatch you are extremely limited in what you can input and how you can gesture through content. I can see sci-fi geeks and gadget freaks buying the iWatch, but will other consumers dish out what would surely be a hefty price for another device that does smaller versions of the same things done by an iPhone?
Apple and Samsung will need some very convincing marketing to sell these smart-watches. But who knows, maybe an iWatch is a stepping stone in the evolution of mobile technology. The same could be said for the Google Glass eyewear that boasts smartphone-like functionality. Will wearable smart-devices replace smartphones? I don't think so. You need a screen at least the size of your typical smartphone screen today to browse the web and enter data on an onscreen keyboard.
So what role will an iWatch or Samsung watch play in mobile computing? We'll have to wait and see what features and functions the manufacturers include on their watches and whether consumers embrace the new technology. I'm skeptical.

Prep boys basketball: Cedar Park Christian-Mountlake Terrace 73, Shorewood Christian 67
Cedar Park Christian knocked off Shorewood Christian 73-67 in a 1B Tri-District contest to clinch a regionals berth, the first of Russell's three-year tenure.
Terry Eun scored 26 points and made four 3-pointers and Micah Patterson added 15 to key the Cedar Park Christian offense.
"Most of our guys have green lights to shoot and (Eun) is definitely one of them," said Russell. "He was able to get to the rim in the second quarter and finished with euro steps."
That second quarter proved to be the difference as Cedar Park Christian outscored the visitors 22-9.
"The second quarter was huge," said Russell. "We changed our defensive approach. We tried zone (at the start of the game) and went back to man-to-man."
One player Cedar Park Christian had difficulty stopping was Shorewood Christian's Jordan King. King had a game-high 30 points, including 11 for 12 from the free throw line.
King also played well (21 points) in the two teams' previous meeting this season -- a 75-64 Cedar Park Christian win -- but Russell was pleased with how his shorter team handled Kyle Howell, Shorewood Christian's 6'6" post. Howell scored 22 in the first contest, but managed just nine on Tuesday.
"In the first game, Howell killed us," said Russell. "Tonight Daniel Schettler played solid defense on (Howell) and made him have to turn to score."
Cedar Park Christian will play a familiar foe, Tulalip Heritage, in the district semifinals at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday at Mount Vernon Christian High School. The Hawks and Lions have met twice this season, with Cedar Park Christian prevailing both times, including a 90-76 victory at the 1B District Tournament. Russell expects another high-scoring game.
"(We both have) similar styles, like to get up and down," said Russell. "My expectation is lots of offense."
At Cedar Park Christian H.S.
Shorewood Christian 22 9 23 13 -- 67

Cyclothymia (si-klo-THIGH-me-uh), also called cyclothymic disorder, is a mood disorder. Cyclothymia causes emotional ups and downs, but they're not as extreme as in bipolar disorder type I or II.
With cyclothymia, you experience periods when your mood noticeably shifts up and down from your baseline. You may feel on top of the world for a time, followed by a low period when you feel somewhat blue. Between these cyclothymic highs and lows, you may feel stable and fine.
Compared with bipolar disorder I or II, the highs and lows of cyclothymia are less extreme. Still, it's critical to seek help managing these symptoms because they increase your risk of bipolar disorder I or II. Treatment options for cyclothymia include talk therapy (psychotherapy), medications and close, ongoing follow-up with your doctor.
Cyclothymia symptoms alternate between emotional highs and lows. The highs of cyclothymia are characterized by symptoms of an elevated mood (hypomanic symptoms), which resemble those of mania but are less severe. The lows consist of mild or moderate depressive symptoms.
Cyclothymia symptoms are similar to those of bipolar disorder I or II, but they're less severe. When you have cyclothymia, you can typically function in your daily life, though not always well. The unpredictable nature of your mood shifts may significantly disrupt your life because you never know how you're going to feel.
The highs (hypomania) of cyclothymia meet the same diagnostic definition of hypomania for type II bipolar disorder. Signs and symptoms may include:
Depressive episodes of cyclothymia may include a combination of these signs and symptoms:
For the first two years after symptoms begin, the highs and lows of cyclothymia are less extreme. After that time, your highs and lows may become more pronounced. You may have depressive episodes that meet the criteria for full-blown major depressive episodes. Or you could experience full manic episodes.
If you have any symptoms of cyclothymia, seek medical help as soon as possible. Cyclothymia generally doesn't get better on its own. If you're reluctant to seek treatment, work up the courage to confide in someone who can help you take the first steps.
If a loved one has symptoms of cyclothymia, talk openly and honestly with that person about your concerns. You can't force someone to seek professional help, but you can offer support and help find a qualified doctor or mental health provider.
Although suicidal thoughts might occur with cyclothymia, they're more likely to occur if you have bipolar disorder I or II. If you're considering suicide right now:
If you just can't make that call, reach out to someone else — immediately — such as your doctor, mental health provider, family member, friend or someone in your faith community.
It's not known specifically what causes cyclothymia. As with many mental health disorders, research shows that it may result from a combination of:
Cyclothymia is thought to be relatively rare. But true estimates are hard to pin down because people may be undiagnosed or misdiagnosed as having other mood disorders, such as depression.
Cyclothymia typically starts during teenage years or young adulthood. The condition affects about the same number of males and females.
Left untreated, cyclothymia can result in significant emotional problems that affect every area of your life — and it might develop into bipolar disorder I or II, based on worsening or more-extreme signs and symptoms.
If you have signs and symptoms common to cyclothymia, call your doctor. After your initial appointment, your doctor may refer you to a mental health provider who can help make a firm diagnosis and create the right treatment plan for you.
Here's some information on how to prepare for your appointment and what to expect from your doctor.
Don't hesitate to ask for more information if you don't understand something.
A doctor or mental health provider may ask:
Your doctor or other health care provider must determine if you have cyclothymia, bipolar disorder I or II, depression or another condition that may be causing your symptoms. To help pinpoint a diagnosis for your symptoms, you'll likely have several exams and tests, which generally include:
To be diagnosed with cyclothymia, you must meet the criteria spelled out in the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM). This manual is published by the American Psychiatric Association and is used by mental health providers to diagnose mental conditions and by insurance companies to reimburse for treatment.
Diagnostic criteria for cyclothymia include those below.
Cyclothymia requires lifelong treatment — even during periods when you feel better — usually guided by a mental health provider skilled in treating the condition.
To treat cyclothymia, your doctor or mental health provider aims to:
The main treatments for cyclothymia are medications and psychotherapy.
Medications may help control cyclothymia symptoms and prevent episodes of hypomania and depression. Medications used to treat cyclothymia include:
If one medication doesn't work well for you, there are many others to consider. Keep trying until you find one that works well for you. Your doctor may advise combining certain medications for maximum effect. It can take several weeks after first starting a medication to notice an improvement in your cyclothymia symptoms.
All medications have side effects and possible health risks. Talk to your doctor about the benefits and risks.
Medications such as mood stabilizers may harm a developing fetus or nursing infant. Women with cyclothymic disorder who want to become pregnant or do become pregnant must fully explore with their health care providers the benefits and risks of medications.
Psychotherapy, also called counseling or talk therapy, can help you understand what cyclothymia is and how it's treated.
Types of therapy that may help cyclothymia include:
You can do some things for yourself that will build on your treatment plan. In addition to professional treatment, follow these lifestyle and self-care steps for cyclothymia:
Coping with cyclothymia can be difficult. Medications can have unwanted side effects, and you may feel angry or resentful about having a serious condition that requires lifelong treatment. During periods when you feel better, or during hypomanic episodes, you may be tempted to stop your cyclothymia treatment. Here are some ways to cope with cyclothymia:
There's no sure way to prevent cyclothymia. However, treatment at the earliest indication of a mental health disorder can help prevent cyclothymia from worsening. Long-term preventive treatment also can help prevent minor episodes from becoming full-blown episodes of mania or depression.

What is the XMLRPC module?
This is a module which allows you to create a local XML-RPC server and/or to make calls on remote XML-RPC servers .
What is XML-RPC?
Error rendering macro 'link' : Link needs a name and a URL as arguments.
is a spec and a set of implementations that allow software running on disparate operating systems, running in different environments to make procedure calls over the Internet.
It uses HTTP as the transport and XML as the encoding. XML-RPC is designed to be as simple as possible, while allowing complex data structures to be transmitted, processed and returned.
Using XMLRPC
Here is an example:
The Server
It's really easy to set up a server which provides a set of remotely callable functions.
- Create a server object
- Add some methods
- Start the server
- You're done!
The Client
It's pretty easy to make the remote calls too
- Create a proxy object to represent the remote server
- Call the remote method via the proxy
- That's all you need

Household Technology Use: Integrating Household Lifecycle and the Model of Adoption of Technology in Households
2006, The Information Society
S. A. Brown, V. Venkatesh, Hillol Bala
Recently, the model of adoption of technology in households (MATH) was developed and tested in the context of household personal computer (PC) adoption. In this study, we apply MATH to predict personal computer (PC) use. We conducted a nationwide survey including 370 households that owned at least one PC. Results indicate that attitudinal beliefs are extremely important in determining use of a PC in the household. In contrast to previous work examining adopters, normative and control beliefs were not significant in predicting use. Furthermore, several determinants of adoption that were important at different stages of the household life cycle were found nonsignificant in predicting use for the same stages of the household life cycle. Overall, the results demonstrate that the belief structure for household PC use is different from that of household PC adoption. Further, the results provide additional evidence regarding the importance of including household life cycle in studies of household technology adoption and use.

A fun but overly familiar 'Star Trek' sequel
Paramount Pictures / Zade Rosenthal
James T. Kirk (Chris Pine), Uhura (Zoe Saldana) and Spock (Zachary Quinto) find themselves in a tight spot in "Star Trek Into Darkness."
Paramount Pictures / Zade Rosenthal
Zachary Quinto (left) stars as Spock, Benedict Cumberbatch is John Harrison and Chris Pine is Kirk, in a scene from "Star Trek Into Darkness."
All these things made the 2009 reboot of the "Star Trek" franchise a great deal of fun. They might be the problem with the sequel, "Star Trek Into Darkness." This is a well-tooled and smartly made movie, but it's so self-conscious about its place in a pre-existing mythology that I'm afraid there's no there there.
The "origin story" premise of the 2009 film allowed for these references to blossom in a delightful way, especially for fans of the original "Star Trek," which bowed on TV in 1966 and pursued its mission in a series of movies thereafter. It really looked as though the crew, led by the aptly cast Chris Pine as Capt. James T. Kirk and Zachary Quinto as Mr. Spock, would take on its own life amidst the iconic outer-space architecture of the show.
J.J. Abrams returns to the director's chair for this one, another promising sign. And the villain is not only a favorite nemesis from the TV series and movies, but he's played by one of the most exciting young actors around these days, Benedict Cumberbatch (from TV's "Sherlock").
The opening reels are a wonderfully fast-moving ride: prologue on a primitive planet, Kirk's demotion after his misbehavior, and a massacre at Star Fleet command that prompts the possibility of war against none other than the Klingons.
All good stuff. It's even all right that the new science officer (Alice Eve) on board the Enterprise is transparently there to give Captain Kirk a potential romantic interest. As long as she doesn't take time away from McCoy (Karl Urban), Scotty (Simon Pegg), or Sulu (John Cho).
Even Mr. Spock is engaged in some level of half-Vulcan romance, with Lt. Uhura (Zoe Saldana), although this still seems like an awkward fit.
The thing is, Abrams is so skilled at giving fans the beats they expect, the movie turns into a kind of Trekkie-convention highlights reel, occasionally interrupted by plot and action. Fun, but somehow not quite a movie.
When "Star Trek Into Darkness" reaches for its big moments, you can feel how they are meant to resonate. But has the movie itself actually earned these moments, or is it depending on our previous near-half-century of "Star Trek" experience to pull the strings?
The more it went on, the odder it seemed -- a big movie that plays as a giant reference to other things. Maybe the next one could forget the catchphrases and the hyperlinks back to "Star Trek" history, and just get on with creating its own five-year mission to boldly go where no one -- not even previous "Star Trek" installments -- has gone before.
"Star Trek Into Darkness" (3 stars)
A skillfully made sequel to the 2009 reboot, with the Enterprise crew going up against a familiar villain (Benedict Cumberbatch) and bringing the battle back to Earth. Generally good fun, although director J.J. Abrams is so careful about pleasing the diehard fans that the film starts to feel like one big reference to things that have happened before.

Of course it is problematic. However, with statements like:MalaBeads wrote:But unless we find ways to organize our perceptions beyond these narrow definitions inherent in tribalism, we are doomed.
how can "should" be avoided? Is this not a "prescriptive" statement?
If it is not prescriptive, but merely a prediction (if x does not happen, y will happen), then there is little to discuss.
You are much too clever for me. But I'll think about it.

At a Glance
Why Get Tested?
To help diagnose or rule out a pheochromocytoma
When to Get Tested?
When you have persistent or episodic high blood pressure and symptoms such as headaches, rapid heart rate, and sweating
Sample Required?
A blood sample drawn from a vein in your arm
Test Preparation Needed?
Preparation for the test is important for accurate results. You should discontinue epinephrine and epinephrine-like drugs for at least one week before the test, stop using acetaminophen 48 hours beforehand, and fast for 8-10 hours prior to collection. It is especially important not to have any caffeine-containing food (soda, chocolate), coffee (including decaf), tobacco (smoking cigarettes or cigars), tea, or alcohol for at least 4 hours before specimen collection. Talk to your doctor about all the medications you are taking as well since several different drugs may interfere with the test.
The Test Sample
What is being tested?
The plasma free metanephrines test measures the amount of metanephrine and normetanephrine in the blood. These substances are metabolites of epinephrine (adrenaline) and norepinephrine. Epinephrine and norepinephrine are catecholamine hormones that help regulate the flow and pressure of blood throughout the body and play important roles in the body's response to stress.
Catecholamines are produced in the medulla – the interior portion of the adrenal glands – and secreted into the blood. Once these hormones have completed their actions, they are metabolized to inactive compounds. Norepinephrine breaks down into normetanephrine and vanillylmandelic acid (VMA) and epinephrine becomes metanephrine and VMA. Both of the catecholamines and their metabolites are normally found in small fluctuating quantities in the blood and urine.
A rare tumor called a pheochromocytoma can produce large amounts of catecholamines, resulting in significantly increased concentrations of metanephrine and normetanephrine. About 90% of pheochromocytomas form in the adrenal glands and, while a few are cancerous, most are benign – they continue to grow but usually do not spread beyond their original location.
The catecholamines produced by pheochromocytomas can cause persistent hypertension and episodes of severe high blood pressure. This can cause symptoms such as headaches, palpitations, sweating, nausea, anxiety, and tingling in the extremities. Left untreated, the symptoms may worsen as the pheochromocytoma grows. Over time, hypertension caused by the tumor may cause kidney damage, heart disease, and raise the risk of a stroke or heart attack.
Several tests, including plasma free metanephrines, can detect the presence of pheochromocytomas. Although they are rare, it is important to diagnose these tumors because they cause a potentially curable form of hypertension. In most cases, the pheochromocytomas can be surgically removed, which eliminates the high blood pressure and its associated symptoms and complications.
How is the sample collected for testing?
A blood sample is obtained by inserting a needle into a vein in the arm. Although there is some disagreement over the specifics of how the sample should be collected, it may be necessary to lie down and rest quietly for 15 to 30 minutes prior to and during sample collection. In other circumstances, you may just be seated upright with little rest time before the sample collection.
NOTE: If undergoing medical tests makes you or someone you care for anxious, embarrassed, or even difficult to manage, you might consider reading one or more of the following articles: Coping with Test Pain, Discomfort, and Anxiety, Tips on Blood Testing, Tips to Help Children through Their Medical Tests, and Tips to Help the Elderly through Their Medical Tests.
Another article, Follow That Sample, provides a glimpse at the collection and processing of a blood sample and throat culture.
Is any test preparation needed to ensure the quality of the sample?
Preparation for the test is important for accurate results. It may be necessary to discontinue epinephrine and epinephrine-like drugs for at least one week before the test, stop using acetaminophen 48 hours beforehand, and fast for 8-10 hours prior to collection. It is especially important not to have any caffeine-containing food (soda, chocolate), coffee (including decaf), tobacco (smoking cigarettes or cigars), tea, or alcohol for at least 4 hours before specimen collection. Talk to the doctor about all medications being taken. Since several different drugs may interfere with the test, he may instruct the person being tested to stop taking all medications except those that are necessary for one week prior to the test. However, do not stop taking any medications without first consulting the doctor.

Due to a dramatic increase in the number of questions submitted to the volunteer laboratory scientists who respond to our users, we have had to limit the number of questions that can be submitted each day. Unfortunately, we have reached that limit today and are unable to accept your inquiry now. We understand that your questions are vital to your health and peace of mind, and recommend instead that you speak with your doctor or another healthcare professional. We apologize for this inconvenience.
This was not an easy step for us to take, as the volunteers on the response team are dedicated to the work they do and are often inspired by the help they can provide. We are actively seeking to expand our capability so that we can again accept and answer all user questions. We will accept and respond to the same limited number of questions tomorrow, but expect to resume the service, 24/7, as soon as possible.

Midwest Living Review
Mount Rushmore is one of those quintessential places every American should visit. At the base, a visitor center features a movie explaining why those presidents are included, along with a display that explains the process of building the memorial. The center is packed with memorabilia that includes letters from presidents, newspaper clippings, old photographs and descriptions of the conditions workers endured. An extensive gift shop allows you to purchase your traditional Rushmore souvenirs, and a snack shop overlooking the mountain offers one of the most inspiring ice-cream stops you'll ever make. Stick around in the evening for a patriotic ceremony featuring the lowering of the U.S. flag, recognition of visiting veterans, a patriotic film presentation and the lighting of the monument. Admission is free, but it'll cost you $10 to park.

A few months ago I posted on my Facebook page, a picture of our freezer full of grass fed beef and many of you wanted to know who my "supplier" was! I was eager to fill you all in on my secret but the awesome little company that I had purchased my beef from was only selling locally at the time. Now for the good news – my little local supplier is shipping their amazing beef nationwide! I am happy to introduce Massa Natural Meats, offering pasture raised beef from start to finish and I must say that their product is by far one of the highest quality and most amazing tasting beef I have ever eaten. I also appreciate that you can order either by the cut OR you can have them custom butcher and send to you your choice of an 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, or a whole cow! Finally, Massa Natural Meats will soon be offering all natural, pasture raised, heritage pork and grass-fed lamb! Please visit Massa Natural Meats to see all that they have to offer and let me know what you think of their product! I'm sure you will be impressed.
Now on to the recipe!!

Results vs. NCAA Regionals (2007-11-03 09:30:00)
November 3, 2007
|Pfeiffer 10th at Regional
|Saturday, 03 November 2007
|Pfeiffer's Women's Cross Country team competed in the NCAA Division II Southeast Regional Meet in Wingate NC. Pfeiffer finished 10th in the field.
Seniors Melissa Dunlap and Meghan Hillebrand led Pfeiffer. Dunlap was an All-Region selection and finished 12th overall, and Hillebrand finished 18th. "Melissa and Meghan have been running great races all year. Melissa had another good outing today and Meghan had one of the best races of her college career," remarked Coach Nolt. The Women's team finished 13th a year ago on the same course. Conference Carolina's opponent Lees-McRae won the race.
Coach Nolt said, ""I felt really good after the race. We were ranked fifth in the region coming into the race, and I knew that it would be tough to hold that. In the last two years the girls have made remarkable strides forward and although we hoped to finish a little higher in the region, I am really happy about this season and excited about the direction that we are going."

People here on the SH Forum will better recognize me by my long-standing screen name: "JETurnbull." For some unknown reason, I have been experiencing extreme difficulties with trying to visit the SH Forum. Although I can still get to the SH Homepage, for the last several days I have been completely unable to enter the forum and view any posts, unable to sign off (to see if I can re-log on), and every time I attempt to view any posts on the forum I get an "ERROR" notice stating: "You are not permitted to search." Even now I look down at the bottom of the Forum Home Page and there's my screen name: JETurnbull, yet I can't access anything!
WTF is going on?? Earlier last week, after receiving Sam's request, I signed up to volunteer time to the Scripture Project, I was approved, however, ever since then I've been unable to access the forum's posts in any capacity. Could that have something to do with the trouble? Are any other members experiencing this problem?
As you may have noticed, I've re-registered with a new screen name that I've had to access from an entirely different computer and different web server and that is the only way I've now been able to again gain access to the SH forum. My own computer and even different web servers automatically recognize my original stored log-in information and (for some unknown reason) will not let me sign out, so until now I've been stuck in this limbo (not that limbo really exists) getting the "not permitted to search" message.
I've emailed the webmaster at least twice a day since this has happened, and have gotten no response whatsoever. I certainly don't think I've offended any one egregiously enough (at least not recently) to be kicked off the forum. So what gives?? If there are any moderators or website technicians out there, can you please respond and/or email me at my original email address with some answers??? I'd like to continue to use my original name and registration information.

It's the topic in his book The Science of Good and Evil (book 3 of his Beliefs trilogy).
Much Evolutionary Psychology/Sociology, Game Theory, etc. He is very readable here. I recommend it to people who are new to the Skeptic game, and I recommend the whole trilogy emphatically.
Not to say that someone well versed in the subjects won't learn from reading him, but the one criticism I could ever muster against Shermer (defying my own personal belief bias here) is that he does tend to repeat himself, both verbally and in print, presumably out of fear of being misunderstood on a very key/basic point. I notice this mostly during his lectures, when he's saying the same thing from 6 different angles. Two or 3 are great for illustrating the point, but I do find myself saying, sometimes out loud, "Yes, we get it! If not now, then never!".

Maybe this is the season that the Elon University men's basketball team is ready to reach out — literally and figuratively — and make some more noise.
The past couple of weeks would suggest that's possible.
While the Phoenix won't blow teams away with its bulk, Elon has some long-armed players who are capable of using their length in ways that are paying off.
"I like our length," Elon coach Matt Matheny said. "We're using our length effectively right now. I think we created a lot of the turnovers."
Those comments came after the Phoenix disposed of previously unbeaten South Carolina on Wednesday night. Even against the Southeastern Conference opponent, Elon wasn't dwarfed by the opposition from a major conference. Across the board, it was Elon that seemed to have a size advantage, putting that to good use in the 65-53 victory.
"They were pushing up on us, so we might as well make it tough on them," forward Lucas Troutman said. "We had arm extension and that's a big thing that Coach has been harping on."
Matheny said his coaching staff is charting deflections on the defensive end. He must like what he's seeing after South Carolina committed 22 turnovers, many caused by Elon players redirecting passes from the Gamecocks.
"Just getting hands on balls and being in the right position," guard Jack Isenbarger said.
Matheny said he was encouraged by the game-long defensive effort. Troutman and guard Tanner Samson batted away South Carolina passes during a key second-half stretch. And Elon players were crashing to the floor in pursuit of loose balls, with Isenbarger, Sebastian Koch and Ryan Winters all making notable second-half diving attempts that had teammates on the bench standing and cheering.
The Phoenix is 4-1 for only the second time in its Division I era (also at the start of the 2002-03 season under coach Mark Simons). A victory today at Virginia Military Institute would provide Elon its best six-game start since the 1987-88 team's 6-0 mark with coach Bob Burton.
VMI defeated Old Dominion for the first time almost 35 years Wednesday night. It was the Keydets' first victory against a Division I opponent this season.
Who: Elon (4-1) at Virginia Military Institute (2-3)
When: 5 p.m. today
Where: Cameron Hall, Lexington, Va.
Series: Tied 6-6

Lou Ross and Rosanne Esposito-Ross remember their first visit to Willamette.
Their son, Michael '04, was looking for a college that was the right fit. "You read all the materials and look at all the information, but until you get there you don't have a sense of a place," says Ross. "Michael looked at a bunch of schools, but when we came to Willamette, we walked on campus and looked at each other and said, 'I think this is it.' We liked the people and the campus and were very comfortable, almost like we had been there before. And for Michael, it was the best decision he could have made."
Their son, a former high school valedictorian and avid figure skater, flourished at Willamette, throwing his creative energy into writing and his social energy into heading up the Interfraternity Council for two years. He's now pursuing a master's degree in screenwriting from the University of Southern California.
Michael may have gotten his cue from his father. Lou, who retired early from the New York City Planning Department in 1992, is a writer himself. His current book is about the expansion of Major League Baseball to the West Coast in the late 1950s. "I've always been a big baseball historian," Ross says. He spends days poring over baseball records and piecing together the decades-old puzzle of franchise changes and cross-country expansion.
Like her son and husband, Esposito-Ross was also headed for a career as a writer, but she changed course. She serves as executive vice president of Expeditors International of Washington, a company that arranges the logistics of delivering cargo around the globe, without a hitch, 24/7. Fortune magazine ranked Expeditors as the most admired American company in its category, praising its sense of social responsibility and employee talents.
After Michael's graduation his parents stayed involved with the University, becoming founding members of Willamette's Parents Committee and making a series of gifts. They recently pledged $100,000 for the Ross Family Scholarships, which will allow students with an interest in creative writing to pursue their dream, just like their son is doing. "Our son got a partial scholarship, so this is our way of paying back to someone else." The Rosses are part of a growing trend of parent involvement at Willamette, with the Parents Fund bringing in $217,794 last year, a record-breaking 38 percent increase over the previous year.
"The bottom line is that the whole experience while Michael was at Willamette was totally positive, and for us as parents it's been totally positive. Everyone was there if we needed them. It's the type of place where if we drove down there this weekend, it would be like going to a friend's house.
"In university settings things evolve so quickly," Ross says, explaining why they believe parent giving is so important. "So many facets of a university need focus. You can't hope to be a successful university if you remain stagnant. That's why we've been very happy with the on-campus expansion and the additional faculty brought in. It adds energy to the school. It's important that parents look at this and give, in the framework of how much they can give."

Cleaning Karma is cleaning your mind: This may sound obvious, and it was obvious for me intelectually, but now I understand things more clear by experiment.
Of course that me, as a very dull being, will experiment such teaching only sometimes and at very ground levels. For example, sometimes your karma-vipaka will dictate that you will have a headache, and you will suffer with that; thats your "fruit" from previous actions, thats your vipaka; but now lets imagine that you, on that moment, are "noting" (like in vipassana meditation) every sensation with mindfulness and clear mind...the headache still be there but you wont be affected by it. There is no suffering. So, its like you just cleansed the karma causing such pain.
Sometimes the opposite will happen: for example,your good karma from previous actions will give you the opportunity of getting some free time to rest in a greeny place; but in that moment you let your mind think on something bad ("my girlfriend is cheating on me!" lol, i hope not), then the greeny place is not so beautiful and you dont let yourself enjoy such a beautiful day. Why? Because of your toughts. Many times i find myself mad just because I am thinking on my job or in the economic situation of my country, etc. They are not useful toughts and when I am mindful of that, I will throw them away and get happy again.
Your reaction to what happens is the oportunity you have to "clean" (not real clean, like complete eradication) your karma. And a clear and mindful mind is the trick. A big trick by the way! I am mindful only a few times in a year!
Whats your toughts about what I said? Share your experiences
