Valve's digital distribution platform steam now supports games that require subscription plans, the company announced today.
Steam's Subscription Plans launches with Darkfall: Unholy Wars, which costs $39.95 upfront and has a $15/month subscription fee.
So to clarify: it's not that Steam has incorporated a Netflix (or GameTap) style subscription service, but rather can now support subscription-based games—starting with Darkfall: Unholy Wars. So, really, MMOs.

Jayaram had skipped his afternoon siesta to stand in queue and fill out a job application. He is in his mid 70s, and like him, were hundreds of senior citizens looking for a job.
Some were there in the hope of financial freedom, some others, because they wanted to get out of their current living arrangement. A minority few were there not for the money, but to keep their minds busy.
The job fest for elders organised by Nightingales Medical trust, Jobs 60+, saw about 700 on-spot registrations. At an age when they should be reaping the benefits of retired life, many were facing issues like lack of support from children, inadequate financial security and hence, the need to stay afloat. Even an 80-year-old man had applied for a job.
The job fest organised for senior citizens saw a huge number of applications. "We have shortlisted about 100 elders for various jobs ranging from trainers to accountants, pharmacists, sales consultants and administrators," said Arpana of Nightingale Medical Trust. She said that of these, only 50 would eventually be employed. However, those who registered and did not make the first cut need not be disappointed. Their resumes would be put up on a job portal, she said.
Insurance companies topped the list of employers with Freeman Insurance, Aviva and five other insurance agencies hiring at the fest. There was Medilab India and Eric Jacob who scouted for trainers among the elders. Some employers informed the organisers of the vacancies and asked to help fill them. "Those in there mid 50s also came in but we had to turn them down as are immediate concern was those in the 60 to 70+ age group," said a volunteer.
Addressing eager and hopeful elders, J Crasta, president of Federation of Karnataka Chamber of Commerce and Industry (FKCCI) pointed out that FKCCI had 2,500 direct industry members and about 80,000 indirect ones and that he will ensure that the industries create jobs.

Casio Leverages CES 2011 to Usher in New Era in Digital Imaging
LAS VEGAS, Jan. 5, 2011 /PRNewswire/ — Casio America, Inc. and its parent company, Casio Computer Co., Ltd., today unveiled TRYX®, a revolutionary new camera that will allow consumers to stand out and be noticed. Strikingly different than any other camera or camcorder on the market today, TRYX impresses with a distinctive, variable frame design which knows no bounds. With TRYX, consumers can do more and be prepared to capture their photographic lives in ways they were never able to before.
(Photo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20110105/NY23908 )
Tricked-Out Design
Thanks to its super thin (.59-inches thick), variable frame design, TRYX can adapt to fit the user's preferred shooting style or to help them capture an image from just about any angle. Users can hold the camera horizontally, in a traditional point-and-shoot style, or flip out the rotating, three-inch, touch-screen LCD and swivel the body to experience countless other positions. The frame rotates 360-degrees and can be adjusted so that the body can act as a tripod, allowing TRYX to stand on its own, or the LCD screen can be rotated up to 270-degrees so that users can perfect their own self portrait and see themselves in the frame. The body can also rotate so that the camera can hang from a hook, doorknob or other surface. The Casio TRYX's body can also be adjusted so that users can record full-HD, 1080 video (30fps) with the traditional feel of a dedicated camcorder, either in a left or right-handed grip.
High-Speed and High-Performance
At the heart of TRYX is a 12.1 megapixel back-illuminated CMOS sensor which will help capture stunning images thanks to its enhanced sensitivity and low-light performance. The TRYX's CMOS sensor is also coupled with dual core processors as well as Casio's stateoftheart EXILIM® ENGINE HS, which add significant processing speed and enhance the overall imaging experience.
Expressing One's Creativity
TRYX is fully-loaded with a range of functions, such as Slide Panorama and slow-motion video recording, which users can take advantage of to boost their creativity and truly express themselves through images. With Slide Panorama, users can effortlessly capture 360-degree panoramic images, and with slow-motion video, users can record events that are ordinarily too fast for the eye to see, at speeds up to 240 fps (432×320). TRYX also incorporates Casio's revolutionary HDR-ART technology, which gives users the ability to effortlessly transform any photo from ordinary to extraordinary, all with just the touch of a button. HDR-ART works by combining continuous shots with differing exposures and performing highly-precise image analysis to locally change the contrast and level of color saturation. Users can select from three different processing levels to suit their artistic tastes and produce results that are guaranteed to impress.
Empowering the Fingertip
Housed within TRYX's LCD screen (460K pixels) is the camera's intuitive touch-screen interface. Through the LCD, users can activate TRYX's touch-shutter, which can focus on an area or subject in the frame and capture the photo, just by touching the screen. TRYX's advanced self-timer can also be activated using the touch-screen LCD. Featuring a clever little twist, the self-timer can be triggered using the camera's built-in motion sensor. Users can configure the self-timer using their finger to designate an area in the frame on the LCD where TRYX needs to monitor for motion. When motion is detected in the specified area, the self-timer will be triggered.
Ultra-Wide Angle Lens Makes it Easy
With a standard lens, consumers are forced to sacrifice what they can actually capture, as they can't fit exactly what they want in the frame. That's no longer an issue with TRYX, as the camera offers an impressive, ultra-wide-angle, 21mm lens. The 21mm ultra-wide-angle lens is also outfitted with Casio's state-of-the-art High-Speed SR Zoom technology. Significantly more advanced than traditional digital zooms, High-Speed SR Zoom captures multiple still images at high-speed and combines them to produce sharp and clear photos. Image quality can be maintained up to two times the range of the focal length.
Social Media Simplified
Casio also preloaded the TRYX with software that facilitates the uploading of images and video directly to the Internet, including many of today's most popular social networking platforms. Users can simply select which photos and videos they would like uploaded from the camera beforehand, and upon connecting it to a computer, the files will automatically be sent to each specified destination.
The Casio TRYX will be available April 2011 for $249.99.

State-owned Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd (HPCL) is in talks with potential partners including Total of France to take its Rs45,000 crore petrochemical project forward.
The company has decided to set up the project at the proposed petroleum, chemical and petrochemical investment region (PCPIR) near Visakhapatnam.
The PCPIR in Andhra Pradesh is among four notified by the government so far. The others are Dahej in Gujarat, Haldia in West Bengal and Paradeep in Orissa.
"We are already in talks with potential partners including some PSUs. We are also in talks with Total. By the end of the fiscal, we may ground the project," said O P Pradhan, executive director (PCPIR), HPCL.
About 10 companies have so far evinced interest in the PCPIR in Andhra Pradesh.
HPCL is the anchor client in the project.
According to Pradhan, HPCL would be keen on a partner willing to supply about 50-60% of the feedstock for the project.
HPCL has already been allotted about 1,500 acres in the PCPIR by the Andhra Pradesh government.
The company is now seeking allotment of another 1,000 crore for expanding the scope of the project. The petroleum major's plan includes setting up a 350 mw captive power plant in its proposed complex, apart from the 15 mtpa petrochemical facilities. The company already has an 8.5 mtpa petroleum refinery in the vicinity of the proposed project. The refinery capacity too is expected to go up to 15,000 mw, entailing an investment of about Rs10,000 crore.
The proposed petrochemical complex includes setting up of a petrochemical project encompassing aromatics and olefin plants to produce value added products. Aromatics project for production of paraxylene, benzene and PTA, possibly in a phased manner and a naphtha cracker for production of olefins (ethylene, propylene), and other downstream units too are part of the company's plan.

Boston Celtics Unveil New 'Alternate' Logo
July 21st, 2014
BOSTON (WGGB) — One of the most iconic logos in basketball is taking on a new, fresh spin.
The Boston Celtics have announced a new alternate logo, called the "Lucky Alternative", is what the team calls a "combination of classic visuals that have been updated with a modern twist."
The team adds that the new alternate logo, which was created in-house, is meant to incorporate team logos from the past while paying "homage to the Leprechaun logo from the 1960's illustrated by Celtics' legend Red Auerbach's brother Zang."
"It will be a great addition to the Boston Celtics brand and integrates seamlessly with the existing primary and secondary logos, which will remain unchanged," the Celtics say in a statement.
This new look will begin to appear this month on a variety of apparel and merchandise on the Celtics online store.

POMONA — In the days before she stabbed and killed a fellow resident at a mental-health facility here, Nicole Ann Stewart urged facility workers to take her to a hospital because her medication wasn't working and she feared she would hurt someone.
That was the testimony this morning of Stewart's boyfriend, one of three witnesses called at a preliminary hearing in Pomona Superior Court.
The boyfriend, John Weedon, testified that employees at the Hamilton Villa "paid no attention" to Stewart's complaints about her mental state.
And on July 23, she stabbed and killed Robin Ridgeway — reportedly because Stewart believed Ridgeway and Weedon were having an affair, according to witnesses who testified today.
Owners or managers of the facility could not be reached for comment. A woman who answered the phone at the facility this afternoon said the owner was not available.
At the conclusion of the hour-long hearing, Judge Charles Horan ruled that there was sufficient evidence for Stewart, 34, to stand trial on murder charges.
Weedon, a resident of Hamilton Villa, testified that Stewart accused him about three days before the stabbing of having an affair with Ridgeway, 49.
Weedon denied he had a romantic relationship with Ridgeway. "There's no way I would do that," he testified.
At about 4 p.m. on the day of the incident, Ridgeway was standing in an outdoor area of the facility speaking with another resident and a psychologist who works with patients at the facility, located at 948 S. Hamilton Blvd.
The psychologist, Joseph Pruitt, testified that he was sitting only 18 inches away from Ridgeway when she was attacked by Stewart.
Pruitt said that he saw Stewart stab Ridgeway in the back with a blade that was at least a foot long. After wounding the woman, Stewart said, "Take that," Pruitt said.
"Robin stepped back and said, 'I've been shot,'" Pruitt testified.
After the stabbing, Pruitt and another employee took Ridgeway indoors, where she collapsed, and other patients ran from Stewart, who walked back and forth clutching the knife, according to witnesses.
Stewart said, "Don't mess with my husband," according to Weedon, who was nearby when the attack occurred.
The three witnesses who testified today said they had never seen the knife Stewart used to attack Ridgeway. They said the knife, which was described as a hunting knife or kitchen knife, did not belong to the facility.
Deputy District Attorney Stephen Dones said after the hearing that Stewart told police after her arrest where she got the knife. Dones declined to disclose what Stewart said.
Stewart hears voices and often assumes different personalities, including that of her brother, Weedon testified.
He said Stewart would have "crazy spells," and he would hold her down for 10 minutes until the spells would pass.
Stewart is next scheduled to appear in court Nov. 9 for an arraignment hearing. She remains jailed in lieu of $1 million bail.
Stewart's attorney, Rodolfo Aguirre, declined to comment after the hearing.

Newark, DE -- (ReleaseWire) -- 02/24/2014 -- Travel Longer Magazine announced today that their periodical is now available for FREE in the iTunes Store and Apple Newsstand for iPad, iPhone and iPod devices. An Android version of the magazine will be available in Q1 2014 for the Google Play store.
Unlike traditional travel publications, Travel Longer Magazine's unique focus sets it apart from countless traditional travel publications. Travel Longer is for the traveler who wants to make extended journeys over many weeks or months. It features travelogues, photography and videos from long-term travelers who relate in story and image their experiences of exploring the world in unique and creative ways, rather than containing material aimed at the one or two week vacationer. Each article has a different story to tell and gives feedback on locations, foods, cultures and activities — relating both the positive and negative experiences of the writer, photographer or videographer.
"This magazine is part of the next generation of digital magazines, that is not simply a scanned version of a static print magazine. It is designed from start to finish to be 100% digital, interactive and responsive. It is created to live, compete and thrive in the interactive media world," says Billy Taylor, Senior Editor for Travel Longer.
Travel Longer Magazine was first launched in December 2012 as a magazine the combines extended travel articles with spectacular travel photography. Intended for those who want to be more than a '1 week a year tourist', the magazine focuses on immersive travel experiences in distant and exotic lands. Their writers get to know intimately the foreign cultures encountered on their travels.
Each issue features exclusive interviews from the world's leading travel bloggers, photographers, explorers and philanthropists. It also includes high-quality travel images, HD videos, destination guides, practical travel and photography advice, features on foreign cuisines, global festivals and other activities a long-term traveler can indulge in.
Most of the magazine's contributors are professional photographers, journalists and even marketing professionals whose real love for traveling would not let them exist at an office desk working a traditional job. They come from all parts of the world including Germany, New Zealand, Italy, the USA and Canada to name few. Some even work for humanitarian causes and travel the world to promote their favorite charitable organizations.
About Travel Longer Magazine
Travel Longer Magazine has grown rapidly to a readership of more than 60,000 from over 85 countries. Its targeted distribution includes the USA, Canada, UK, China, Japan, Australia and New Zealand.

The vivid history of Beale Street—a lost world of swaggering musicians, glamorous madams, and ruthless politicians—and the battle for the soul of Memphis.
"After reading this, I dreamed all night about street hustlers, hoodoos, and snake oil salesmen on Beale Street, the Main Street of black America." — Hampton Sides
"In his last book, The Chitlin' Circuit, Lauterbach shone light into obscure, all but unknown rooms of the rock-'n'-roll story. This time he turns to a chapter we thought we knew well—Beale Street, one of the grounds zero of American culture, with Tin Pan Alley and Congo Square and Concord—and the result is every bit as illuminating."— John Jeremiah Sullivan

Allied Telesis Launches Advanced Layer 3 Stackable Switch with Power over Ethernet Capabilities
SAN JOSE, Calif., Dec. 21 /PRNewswire/ — Allied Telesis, a global provider of secure IP/Ethernet switching solutions and an industry leader in the deployment of IP Triple-Play networks, has launched the AT-x600-24Ts-POE, the latest member of the x600-series of stackable Gigabit switches, and the first product in this family to offer Power over Ethernet (PoE) capabilities. By introducing this product to the U.S. market, Allied Telesis offers investment protection enhanced by advanced security features, port scalability, resiliency for uninterrupted network service, high speed quality of service (QoS), and simplified network administration.
The AT-x600-24Ts-POE combines advanced Layer 3 switching functionalities with PoE. This feature-set gives enterprises added flexibility to connect PoE-powered devices enabling the secure transfer of power and data to remote devices such as IP phones, security cameras, and wireless access points. By providing Gigabit PoE at an affordable price point, the switch makes it easy for network managers to cost-effectively cater to next year's applications.
The AT-x600-24Ts-POE benefits enterprises that require a "true" stacking architecture for scalability, simplified network management, and high-speed connectivity between switches, resulting in a faster network without modification of existing Ethernet cabling infrastructure. The AT-x600-24Ts-POE switch is particularly suited to power VoIP phone systems because when connected to a universal power supply (UPS) it will provide power even during a grid power cut, enabling both routine and emergency calls. The integration of a standards-compatible command line interface (CLI) ensures the product is easy to manage and can be used seamlessly in networks with equipment from a variety of vendors.
"This is the first switch in the popular x600 family to be PoE capable, allowing us to bring a new dimension of functionality to a highly effective switch family," said Dael Bartlett, director of product marketing, Allied Telesis. "By combining full PoE delivery and Gigabit Ethernet speeds, we are offering network managers a sound choice for their next-generation convergence."
The AT-x600-24Ts-POE has 24 10/100/1000T ports and four combination Gigabit small form-factor pluggable (SFP) ports with dedicated stacking ports. It has full power PoE (802.3af) capabilities on all copper ports, LLDP-MED (Link Layer Discovery Protocol – Media Endpoint Discovery) support, ensuring auto discovery of devices, and a redundant power supply option, allowing the switch to continue operating even in the event of a power supply failure.
The AT-x600-24Ts-POE is currently available from Allied Telesis and priced at $3,999.

In the past, a number of reports have suggested that Indian men have been recruited by the Islamic State for Iraq and Syria (ISIS) for their operations in Syria and other places in the Middle East. A few weeks back, a propaganda video surfaced on the internet. The video describes the life of a young male, Abu Muslim (whose name means 'may Allah accept him') who was recruited from Canada. The video shows him narrating his experience of how he was a street janitor in Canada and then moved to Syria. He calls on people to help them in anyway possible including engineers and doctors. He glorifies the cause of Jihad and asks people to come along with their families who "will be taken care of. We have wide expanse of territory in Syria."
The video ends with him being killed in a fight. The video which was made by Al Isabah Media. As scroll.in reported, their page on Facebook has over 2800 likes. The video has been translated into Tamil as well as Urdu in addition to the Hindi subtitles in the videos. ISIS leader Abu Bakar Al Baghdadi's video earlier has also been translated to Hindi and in a message published last month he has also called on Muslims from India to come and fight for the dignity they deserve.

It will be India's eye in the sky which will be the star attraction at this year's Aero India, the bi-annual event to be held at the Air Force Station Yelahanka between February 9 and February 13.
The indigenously-developed aerostat will not only make its debut but will also keep a tight aerial vigil on the activities on the ground.
Touted to be one of the major attractions during the air show, the Akashdeep aerostat which was recently developed by the Agra-based Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) laboratory, Aerial Delivery Research & Development Establishment (ADRDE), will be brought to the show where it will also carry out 'operational duties' besides being exhibited.
DRDO's chief controller, research and development (Aerospace& Services Interaction) Prahlada told DNA that the Akashdeep will be equipped with all its platforms and payloads to carry out anti-terror and security aerial surveillance during the air show.
"We want to showcase the aerostat to the participating countries. It will not be a mere balloon-like object during the show; it will be operational," Prahlada said.
The aerostat is capable of carrying electro-optic and Comint (communication and intelligence) payloads for surveillance; and according to DRDO scientists, the complete balloon systems, ground-based command and control systems, and payloads of the aerostat have already been integrated for optimal use.
Its gimbals, with 360-degree azimuth freedom and high degree in elevation is highly stabilised to carry out steering, scanning and tracking with high precision.
Besides, its payload also carries thermal camera for surveillance during night and in low visibility conditions.
This apart, it also has an electronic intelligence payload which carries a communication intelligence system for capturing and analysing all types of communications in air.
Prahlada added that the aerostat will be showcased to the visitors on all days of the air show. However, during the flight displays, the aerostat will be lowered so as to not interfere with the flight paths of the aircraft.

Women comprise the majority of Speech-Language Pathologists in the United States. Individuals in this line of work make around $57K per year on average. The income range spans the entire spectrum between $45K and $98K per year. Compensation for this group is mainly affected by geographic location, but the company and years of experience are influential factors as well. Although a fair number have medical coverage and more than half have dental coverage, nearly one in four claim no health benefits at all. The majority of workers are highly satisfied with their job. This snapshot results from replies to PayScale's salary survey.

Copy and paste this HTML:
A speech-language pathologist is a person who diagnoses and treats people with language and speech disorders. Speech-language pathologists can work in schools and hospitals, as well have their own private practice. When working in schools, they focus on providing help and support for children who need help with speech outside of the normal classroom setting. Speech-language pathologists can also help with students who have medical problems that may cause them to struggle with speech and hearing. A private speech language pathologist can have patients of all ages. These speech-language pathologists can work with children or adults who may face difficult speech and hearing impairments. They normally work one-on-one with their patients. Speech-language pathologists begin by assessing the patients to see what type of speech and hearing disorder they may have. They will spend time evaluating the hearing, speech and language test results, along with the patient's medical background to diagnose and plan treatment for speech, language, fluency, and voice and swallowing disorders. Speech-language pathologists administer speech and hearing tests and examinations to patients and then develop, implement, and monitor treatment plans. Speech-language pathologists help those who suffer from stuttering, delayed languages, swallowing disorders, and voice problems. Depending on how the treatment goes, they will adjust the treatment accordingly. They have to document the initial evaluation, treatment, progress, and discharge of patients. They also instruct the patients in communication techniques and teach speech, muscle, and breathing exercises. It is required by all states that speech-language pathologists hold a master's or other graduate degree. Speech pathologists must be licensed or registered with a national or state organization. A speech language pathologist must have practical and personal skills, as well as verbal and written communication skills. These pathologists must also have patience and compassion. This can be a challenging and stimulating job. However, there is the reward of knowing that speech-language pathologists are helping others.
RehabCare, Aegis Therapies, Inc., EBS Healthcare, Life Care Centers of America, and Genesis Rehabilitation Services Inc. are some prominent firms with considerable interest in employing a large team of Speech-Language Pathologists. Although Aegis Therapies, Inc. offers the highest salaries (median pay is $80K), survey participants reported a rather limited pay range of $64K to $94K. Soaring salaries can also be found at RehabCare, Genesis Rehab Services, and Kindred Healthcare, where earnings of $80K, $79K, or $78K are standard for Speech-Language Pathologists.
Speech-Language Pathologists will find the worst pay at Healthsouth Rehabilitation Hospital, where the median salary crawls in at $61K. Furthermore, compensation is curbed at $77K, leaving little room for growth. Other low-paying employers include EBS Healthcare at $66K and Genesis HealthCare at $73K, though some Speech-Language Pathologists there earn up to $103K.
Survey results imply that Speech-Language Pathologists deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in vital stim, Long Term Care, Dysphagia, and Geriatrics are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 14 percent and 19 percent. Skills that pay less than market rate include early intervention, Childhood Education, and Pediatrics. Most people skilled in Rehabilitation are similarly competent in Speech Pathology and Long Term Care. The majority of those who know Geriatrics also know Long Term Care.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Speech-Language Pathologists, level of experience appears to be a somewhat less important part of the salary calculation — more experience does not correlate to noticeably higher pay. The average beginner in this position makes around $61K, but folks who have been around for five to 10 years see a markedly higher median salary of $70K. Speech-Language Pathologists with one to two decades of relevant experience report an average salary of approximately $75K. Individuals who have achieved more than 20 years of experience don't seem to earn much more than people who have 10 to 20 years under their belts; the more senior group reports an average income of $76K.
For Speech-Language Pathologists, busy Houston offers a higher-than-average pay rate, 14 percent above the national average. Speech-Language Pathologists will also find cushy salaries in Charlotte (+6 percent), Philadelphia (+5 percent), Los Angeles (+5 percent), and Cincinnati (+3 percent). Speech-Language Pathologists in Pittsburgh make 22 percent less than the national average, proving that location is a major factor in pay. A couple other locations with smaller-than-average paychecks include Austin (8 percent lower) and Atlanta (5 percent lower).

Raiders WR released from hospital
ALAMEDA, Calif. (AP)
The Oakland Raiders had something more meaningful to celebrate on Monday than their first win under a new regime.
VIDEO: HEAD-RINGING HITWatch the hit that hospitalized Darrius Heyward-Bey at Yardbarker.
Wide receiver Darrius Heyward-Bey was released from the hospital a day after being knocked out by a helmet-to-helmet hit and is expected to make a full recovery.
Heyward-Bey suffered a concussion and a strained neck on the scary hit from Pittsburgh safety Ryan Mundy that stopped the game Sunday for more than 10 minutes as Heyward-Bey had to regain consciousness before being carted off the field and taken to the hospital.
There was no penalty called on the play by the replacement officials.
Heyward-Bey spent the night in the hospital for observation and went home Monday, where he is resting. Coach Dennis Allen said Heyward-Bey sounded tired when he talked with him and there is no word on when he will be cleared to return to the field.
''The concussion is obviously the bigger issue than anything else right now,'' Allen said. ''He's a guy that we're going to have to continue to evaluate and see where he's at. We were all pleased to see that it wasn't anything severe as far as neck injury or anything like that.''
The injury happened early in the fourth quarter of Oakland's 34-31 victory over the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Heyward-Bey was running across the end zone to catch a pass from Carson Palmer when Mundy launched his body and lowered his helmet into Heyward-Bey's facemask.
PAIN TRAINInjuries are a part of football, but these players have been hit particularly hard.
Heyward-Bey's neck jerked violently and his head also crashed into the ground as he lost consciousness. The pass was incomplete.
Mundy said after the game that he did not intentionally lead with his helmet and felt bad that another player was injured.
Allen said he did not believe there was any intent to injure on Mundy's part.
''It's the game of football,'' Allen said. ''I don't think people are trying to go out there and hurt people. The safety was playing the game fast and physical. It's a tough game to play when you're making split-second decisions on how you play the game. It's the unfortunate things that happen in this game but we move on from it.''
Heyward-Bey's eyes were shut for 10 minutes as trainers attended to him as he lay motionless. He was strapped to a table and placed on a cart. As the cart started to leave the field, he raised his right hand to roaring cheers.
''It was tough,'' Allen said. ''I was actually out on the field watching everything as it took place. And it was a scary situation, and we're blessed and we're fortunate that he's going to be fine. That's part of this game that we play and it's a tough part of the game, but we're happy that Darrius is going to be fine.''
WHAT'S GOING ON?Touchdown? Touchback? See how it all unraveled Monday night.
While Allen said it was a judgment call and did not blame the substitute officials who are calling games because the NFL has locked out the regulars, fans at the Coliseum started a derogatory chant aimed at the officials and some Raiders players complained.
''Obviously the refs, sometimes they're going to make the calls, sometimes they're not,'' receiver Derek Hagan said after the game. ''I definitely don't want to rip into them, but I really felt like it was one of those calls that should've been made. But they didn't throw the flag, they missed, it. Sometimes they're going to miss calls and it's very unfortunate that a teammate of ours is down and injured.''
Heyward-Bey has nine catches for 98 yards and a touchdown this season. With his status up in the air, Allen said the team may need to look at bringing in another receiver this week.
Heyward-Bey wasn't the only Raider to suffer a concussion from a hit by Mundy in the game. On the game-winning drive, tight end Brandon Myers was knocked out with a legal hit from Mundy. Allen said Myers felt fine Monday but would have to go through the concussion protocol before he can return.

|Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a multifactorial disease with polygenic and environmental stressors resulting in multiple metabolic toxicities and islet oxidative stress. We have integrated the role of the islet renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in the pathogenesis of early islet fibrosis utilizing the transgenic (mRen2)27 rodent model of hypertension and tissue RAS overexpression. The Ren2 pancreatic islet tissue was evaluated with transmission electron microscopy to study both early cellular and extracellular matrix remodeling. Major remodeling differences in the Ren2 model were found to be located within the islet exocrine interface, including deposition of early fibrillar-banded collagen (fibrosis) and cellular remodeling of the pericyte suggesting proliferation, migration, hypertrophy and activation as compared to the Sprague Dawley controls.

Dempsey's vaunted run to the Title

Re: Dempsey's vaunted run to the Title
Ray Arcel and Jack Sharkey on Jack Dempsey:
Did Arcel dwell in the past as an older man? Well, he trained modern fighters like Roberto Duran and saw the vastly underrated Argentine master, Nicolino Locche, and couldn't speak highly enough of those greats. In the brilliant wizard Locche, Arcel saw a man he described as being even cleverer than Willie Pep.
So how did the great Ray assess Dempsey and the other heavyweights? Mike Hunnicut interviewed Arcel at length on different occasions and picks up the story. "You have to understand," Mike explains, "that guys like Arcel are very measured and understated in their descriptions of fighters. It takes a lot to impress them, because they get to see and handle so many quality operators. If they tell you a guy was 'pretty good', they usually mean 'excellent'. They may also take some time to warm to you and therefore warm to the subject.
"Arcel was a very quiet and polite man by nature, unbelievably knowledgeable about the fight game, yet never one to brag about how much he knew.
"But when we went deep on Jack Dempsey, Ray's eyes lit up. For him, there was no other fighter past or present who could compare."
Arcel's verdict on the Manassa Mauler was thus: "Dempsey would have absolutely beaten any fighter who came after him – without a doubt. I know all about Joe Louis and how he knocked guys' teeth out. I have every respect for Joe – I rate him number two. But Dempsey would have killed Louis, George Foreman, any of those guys. What Jack had was God-given – you can't develop the kind of talent he had.
"Marciano? Same result. Dempsey would have murdered Rocky. I tell you, Jack would have chased everyone out of the ring. I trained Max Baer a couple of times and often got asked how good that booming right of his was and whether it was as good as anything Dempsey had. Are you kidding? It wasn't even close.
People always asked me what Jack's weaknesses were. That's the point – he didn't have any."
Former heavyweight champ Jack Sharkey expressed similar sentiments in a 1986 interview. "Jack Dempsey was the best because he was a real fighter, and if he hit you in the shoulder he could dislocate it.
"Ali was a real good boxer but he took too many punches in his training, which he didn't have to take.
"Joe Louis was nothing sensational, being a methodical fighter, but he was a great finisher when he had his man in trouble.
"Rocky Marciano was very good and I almost put him up there with Dempsey. It would be a tough fight between those two but Dempsey, I'd say, was a better puncher."

Boy did he try to run when he realized he was outmatched, but you can't outrun a druid no matter how fast you sprint. He probably tried to vanish too I'll bet, any smart druid won't allow this tho.
I refer to that place as the nam all the time in game
Charlie everywhere. Over there, allies and mobs are basically the same thing and nearly every bit as plentiful, and we treat em the same way: don't ask questions, kill on sight.
I have to admit though, rogues and druids make an excellent random player kill team. They can both attack sight unseen, do awesome burst damage, the druid can track down players quickly and the rogue can sap somebody if there is too much entourage. One of the most successful runs through STV I've had was done this way; I think I had something like 94 kills in about 2 hours.
Priests dont both me
Meh locks don't bother me as much as they used to. Just dispell curse and double HoT yourself. Once they run out of mana they're screwed.
You know what does bother me tho? Priests. They can heal themselves much faster than I can take em down and their mana regen is able to keep this up for a while.
Quite honestly, Id be embarrassed if my rogue got beaten by a druid 3 lvls lower than me.
I have never had an issue with druids.
But then, I have one myself so, I know the strenghts and the weak spots.
Locks dont bother me, especially not now with cloak of shadows and will of forsaken...my point was how grossly overpowered they are.
If any class is in need of a major nerfing, it has to be warlocks.
Priests dont bother me, I know my way around them just fine.
Pallys....now they are a pain in the arse.
On the BG's its mainly hunters that I find annoying.
But as I said, every class has its strenths and weaknesses.
Im a firm believer that no matter what clasds is played, it the persons skill level of playing that makes for either a good or mediocre toon.
My rogue gets ganked constantly, I dont boast of my triumphs, I certainly dont claim to be an elite player that can gank everything 5 levels higher than me.
I think thats such an unattractive playing attitude.
But I know my rogue well, she holds her own and Im constantly learning.
3 lvls un til 70 and then the fun will begin..everything up until then has been learning and experimentation.
Guns dont kill people, Magic missiles do!

Submitted by Recycling News on September 19, 2007 - 14:15.
Tess Vigeland, host of American Public Media's Marketplace Money, is carrying the trash she generates for two weeks in order to raise awareness of America's throw-away society. The average American generates 4.5 pounds of trash per day, a figure double that of thirty years ago.
Read About "Tess' Trash Challenge">>
Vigeland is challenging Americans to carry with them all their waste for two weeks. People who participate in the challenge may have their stories broadcast on Marketplace Money's special edition of "Consumed", a series on the consumer economy, to air November 17.

How 'Bout Now?
Monday - 1/31/2011, 2:06am EST
You might have noticed. We had some weather issues last week in the Washington, DC area.
Federal employees were sent home two hours early on Wednesday, but waaaaay down in the announcements was this direction from the Office of Personnel Management:
With supervisory approval, a telework-ready employee may depart prior to the scheduled early departure time without charge to annual leave provided the employee makes up the time later in the day by teleworking, as permitted by his or her agency's policies, procedures, and collective bargaining agreements.
"Yes," some might say, "but my power went out."
"Yes," others might say, "but my agency didn't tell us we could leave early until two hours before I would have left anyway."
"Yes, but..."
While there may be a chorus of "yes, buts" heard across the federal government, it was possible.
But only if the employee had a telework agreement in force.
The alternatives, like using leave or maybe getting stuck in traffic, are probably more of a hassle than filling out the paperwork for telework.

Clay Shirky:
How social media can make history
While news from Iran streams to the world, Clay Shirky shows how Facebook, Twitter and TXTs help citizens in repressive regimes to report on real news, bypassing censors (however briefly). The end of top-down control of news is changing the nature of politics.

my 7 1/2 month old is showing ashma-like symptoms. she is wheezing and has been congested for sometime now (over a month) , she hates sleeping on her back and her naps are short , like an hour morning , hour afternoon and she is up during the night, last night 2a then 6a , then 8a for the day.
she is on neocate and has been since birth. I've tried to incoorporate nurtarmigen a few times. Last time was at 6 months, it lasted one month, and she was having explosive diapers and i noticed excema on her skin, so we put her back on neocate. I believe the excema is gone.
Up until 6 months she was sleeping in the rock n roll (which is like sleeping in a car seat, so it's on an incline) i had to stop the rock in roll as she flipped herself in it and was upside down in it. So since taking her out of this incline her sleep has been compromised.
Dr food allergey tested in Tuesday , so i'm waiting to hear back if perhaps she is eating a food that is bothering her, which i really think is what is happening here.
Anyone have an experience, where next? btw she is doing nebulizer treatments since tuesday, i try to do twice a day, and that helps her to sleep at night.
I'm losing it with her, thse 2am feedings are killing me (she had been sttn since 2 months and we've totally regressed)
help!!!!! what next?

Though the Rhino packaging is impeccable, the Palladinos' liner notes reminisce upon past favorite bands, rather than note, for example, which song was playing during Rory and first boyfriend Dean's cinematic season-finale make-up scene (PJ Harvey's "One Line," with its nostalgic opening, "Do you remember the first kiss?/Stars shooting across the sky"). Many tunes recall Rory's early romance with the reliable Dean and the confusion inspired by his bad-boy rival, Jess. John Lennon's tender "Oh My Love" plays when Dean gives Rory the car he built for her before declaring his love (Lennon's words match the wonder of the moment: "For the first time in my life/My eyes are wide open"); Elastica's lively "Car Song" is the heartless companion to the fateful night that Rory lets Jess drive this car; and Yoko Ono's innocent synth-pop "O'oh" is the fitting lyrical accompaniment to Rory's out-of-character, school-skipping visit to Jess in New York City ("O'oh, Central Park/O'oh, evening skyline"). Black Box Recorder's eerie "Child Psychology" is a rare note of adolescent malaise ("Life is unfair/Kill yourself or get over it"), levied by the soundtrack's lighter moments. The Palladinos remember the first kiss, and they know how important it is to get the music right this time.

Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd
11461 Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, CA, USA
Neighborhood: Brentwood
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
With a name like that, it's not hard to guess where they're coming from. The Luxe Hotel Sunset Boulevard is luxe indeed, with a location that's more upscale retreat than downtown hipster haunt — it's spread over seven acres of parkland in Brentwood, near the Getty Center, where Sunset Boulevard is a winding mountain road, not a neon-lit urban strip.
Some stylish hotels are a little disappointing once you get past the lobby, but this is not a problem the Luxe has. If anything the rooms are even more stylish than the public spaces, and they're long on comfort as well. The look is sleek and contemporary, the interiors clearly designed rather than just decorated, but they're warm rather than edgy, in rich earth tones and classic materials and finishes. The smallest room is a vast 550 square feet, and the amenities are luxury through and through: flat-screen TV, iPod docking stereos, and massive Roman-style baths in the suites.
A full-service spa completes the urban-resort package — just minutes from the Getty Center or UCLA, with Santa Monica an easy drive away.
How to get there:
Luxe Hotel Sunset Blvd is a 20-minute drive from Los Angeles International Airport, but the trip can take up to 40 minutes in traffic. Valet parking is available for $25 USD + tax per night.
- Complimentary upgrade upon hotel check-in, based upon availability
- Complimentary continental breakfast for two (a value of US$16.00 per person per day)
- One complimentary glass of champagne or one cocktail, per guest, upon arrival (an approximate value of US$9.00 per guest, depending on the drink)
- Guaranteed 2 p.m. check - out

What I liked:
We had Ben traveling for a while and it was the last hotel before the flight back home so we liked the seclusion in the middle of LA.
Plus I was 5 months pregnant and noticed they did pre-natal massages, and to this day that was the best one I have ever experienced.
What the hotel could do better:
It had stylish rooms but it felt like it was painted on an old 70s building.
It didn't feel as fresh as you would have imagend from the photographs.

Expand All |
Collapse All
To assist in the expenditure of and to encourage county extension councils in offering health benefits, MU Extension provides financial assistance to participating councils. The financial assistance will be provided as specified below.
Employer-sponsored insurance
MU Extension will provide a tax-free subsidy to County Extension Councils to be used toward the employer's share of the cost of the secretary's health insurance premium (not to used toward spouse or dependent's premium, dental or vision insurance premiums).
The 2015 extension secretary health subsidy for employer-sponsored health insurance will be the lesser of the actual premium or up to $350 a month (cumulatively up to $4,200 for the calendar year). Extension county councils must submit (for each eligible position) an Employer-Sponsored Health Insurance Verification form to receive the subsidy.
MU Extension will not be providing financial support toward employer reimbursement arrangements (i.e., private (individual) health care premiums or out-of-pocket health expenses).
MU Extension County Health plan (DOCX)(detailed)
Counties should contact the health care provider (for employer-provided health insurance) of their choice for complete benefit and enrollment information.
If coverage changes occur during the year, the health care provider and MU Extension plan administrator should be notified as soon as possible about the coverage change.
MCHCP information:
Counties with existing MCHCP account, call 1-800-487-0771. An MCHCP representative will provide information on the plans available in your area and review the benefit summary. Provider directories can be found online at www.mchcp.org.
Counties without an existing account, call 1-800-701-8881 to learn if MCHCP is accepting new business (writing new plans). If MCHCP is accepting new business, it is preferred that the MCHCP Application for Participation be submitted at least 30 days prior to the effective date of coverage for new accounts. However, it is recommended that a 60 day time frame be allowed for the entire enrollment process.
Enrollment forms should be submitted to MCHCP. Forms received in MCHCP's office prior to the 14th day of the month may be effective on the Public Entity's next bill. Forms received after the 14th day of the month will take longer to process. It may take several months before changes are reflected on MCHCP invoices. Initial invoices may include costs for several months of coverage.
An MCHCP Enroll/Cancel/Waive/Change form should be submitted to MCHCP as soon as possible, when a change occurs. The MU Extension plan administrator should also be notified at the same time about the coverage change.
Health plan providers will send identification cards within two to four weeks of enrollment. Enrollees will also receive an MCHCPid and PIN. Use these numbers when corresponding with MCHCP. Check out the available information on MCHCP's website at www.mchcp.org.
