Tablet. Hotels for Global Nomads

CACHET Boutique Shanghai
931 West Nanjing Road (entrance on Taixing Road), Shanghai, China
Neighborhood: Nanjing Rd
Check availability as rates may vary for dates. Best rate guaranteed.
The sequel to the Philippe Starck-designed J Plus Hong Kong is a new direction for a successful franchise. CACHET Boutique Shanghai is more a luxury-residence concept, at least in the design, courtesy of the Australian firm Hecker Phelan & Guthrie — it's a fully serviced boutique hotel, just like its sister in Hong Kong, but with perhaps a bit more of a discreet apartment-house atmosphere.
It's located in a well-preserved Twenties apartment building, a subdued exterior for a contemporary-design boutique. And inside it edges closer to design-magazine luxe, with bold graphic color schemes, an impressive collection of modern furnishings, and bathrooms decked out in marble and Bisazza mosaic tile. Rooms and suites are bright and sunny, especially those with balconies, and all come with entertainment centers, and free wireless internet, as well as a smattering of local color in the form of Chinese antiques.
You're by no means obligated to fend for yourself in that kitchenette. The location, just off the Nanjing Road, places you in close proximity to any number of restaurants, as well as most of Shanghai's best shopping.
Travel advisory: Passport and visa requirements differ from country to country. Please check with your local authority before booking.

What I liked:
Upkeep has been immaculate, and it felt brand new throughout. It has a great restaurant and bar, which also recommends it as a convenient meeting point.
Location is ideal for fast access to the Bund or French Concession via a short taxi ride.
Overall, the character of the hotel is that of a young, modern China. It is totally in tune with the city around it, and sets itself up as an ideal choice for a relaxing stay.
What the hotel could do better:
The only trouble we had was in finding it. The entry is NOT on West Nanjing Road, as the address indicates, but on Taixing Road. Taxi drivers got very confused about the address, so it's best to look out for the adidas boutique on the corner of Nanjing and Taixing as the closest reference point.

What I liked:
The Staff were very courteous and helpful.
The Decor is sophisticated and unique without being overstated or too opulent with the rooms being spacious and well laid out.
The amenities are all you could ask for and the little extras such as afternoon cake were so welcome.
The overall feel of the place is so friendly and it was such a relief to come back to the Jia after a hard days shopping. It was an oasis in the the hurly burly of Shanghai and you could immediately relax and unwind in a wonderfully convivial atmosphere and feel pampered but without all the pomp of one of the larger hotels.
What the hotel could do better:
Nothing to dislike.

Doody's Review ServiceReviewer: Carole Ann Kenner, PhD, RN, FAAN (The College of New Jersey)
Description: This book reflects patient standards for the hospitalized patient, including discharge preparation and teaching. This is the seventh edition; the last edition was published in 1996.
Purpose: The purpose is for planning and delivery of care primarily in the hospital setting.
Audience: This book is written for bedside nurses, case managers, discharge planners, charge nurses, advanced practice nurses, nurse executives, and nurse managers. The latter two groups would use the book for quality improvement and for JCAHO accreditation.
Features: NANDA, examples of care pathways, and use of the nursing process are included. There is an introduction to collaborative practice with a presentation of the body system and assessment, followed by diagnostic statement, plan, implementation, and evaluation (including outcomes). This is a collaborative, multidisciplinary model of care. The dimensions of nursing care are centered to some degree on Gordon's functional patterns. The examples of care paths are good, especially in the appendix where there is a combined care path and documentation form. The biggest shortcoming is the lack of pediatric examples; this book would not be useful in the pediatric setting.
Assessment: This book is one among many that demonstrate use of patient standards and care plans, including a good basis for patient standards required by JCAHO. There are added sections on discharge and home care, but the major focus is in the hospital. This may be shortsighted, considering the shortened lengths of stay for most patients and the acuity level of patients in the community and home settings. The revision does reflect the newer terminology — partners in care, collaborative practice, care paths, and combined care paths and documentation. It is a good reference for students in adult health courses but would not be adequate to support the OB, neonatal, or pediatric areas of study.

Actually, no, it does not work like that as the software can only control its own instructions if NX is only in software, malicious code can be run at any overload, your program will crash and the code can run, i can see some heavy problems coming with that...
There is no bit to set NX if it is not implemented so...
Now, for the ia32 implementation this is no biggie as you can easily simulate NX, but that will not work on AM-64, so there IS a very real problem with this...
I think you missed the point. The simulation is in the page fault handler of the kernel. It can be applied to any code anywhere. When any page anywhere faults, the kernel checks if a virtual NX bit is set. If not, it handles the page fault as usual. If the virtual NX bit is set for the page, it loads the data TLB, but not the code TLB. If a buffer overflow occurs and it tries to execute code, a page fault occurs because the code TLB isn't loaded. The page fault handler sees that code was attempted to be executed in a page with the virtual NX bit set and simulates an NX generated fault. Except for needing some extra code in the page fault handler and the ability to access the TLBs, it is EXACTLY the same as a real NX bit in hardware, just not as fast.
This works on any Intel chip from the Pentium on up. It might work with Athlons as they have separate data and code TLBs, but I couldn't find any info on how to access them like Intel does through the test registers.

On a warm September day in Chicago, Rishad Tobaccowala counseled a roomful of Leo Burnett executives on how to sell high-tech gadgets -- told in terms of hot dogs.
Tobaccowala, who has spent 30 years at Leo Burnett and affiliated agencies, described the $14 Chicago-style hot dog sold at the Allium restaurant inside the Four Seasons Hotel.
"Every single thing in that hot dog has been homemade," he says. "They make the ketchup, they make the mustard, they make the bread. But I don't think they tell us how they make the hot dog or the mustard or the bun."
His point is that consumers want transparency, but only to a point.
"They're looking for magic where they can feel and see the result without necessarily understanding how the hell it happened," Tobaccowala says. "Any technology that tries to explain how it's done is like a magician showing his trick. It doesn't work."
Analogies and metaphors are tools of the trade in the advertising world. But Tobaccowala doesn't aim to convey cute or clever messages to consumers. His audience, instead, is marketers and colleagues trying to understand how consumers will relate to media and advertising in the future.
His pioneering work in online advertising and ability to convey complex concepts in simpler terms has made Tobaccowala, a 53-year-old Indian-born executive, a go-to adviser among marketers and colleagues in a rapidly changing industry.
Unusual among advertising executives, he doesn't have any direct clients, nor does he run a business unit.
That relative freedom allows him to speak with refreshing candor, said Doug Moore, vice president of advertising and media at General Mills Inc., which uses Leo Burnett's sister agencies for advertising and media planning. Moore credits Tobaccowala for encouraging the company behind Cheerios and other wholesome brands to try bolder marketing, which led to a campaign using the Cheech and Chong comedy duo to promote Fiber One cereal.
"He's not pitching a particular agency or a particular project," Moore said. "He's very generous in how he puts our agenda first. That's very unusual in the advertising or consulting space."
Tobaccowala's role inside Publicis Groupe, the giant French advertising and marketing firm that owns Leo Burnett, is to be a student of culture, think deep thoughts and spot trends. His official title is chief strategy and innovation officer at Chicago-based VivaKi, which Publicis started in 2008 to accelerate the digital activities within its media and digital companies.
Tobaccowala is known for his linguistic flourishes and profanity, which he uses for dramatic effect rather than to express anger.
"He's a provocateur," said Andrew Swinand, the former president of Starcom MediaVest Group, a media agency owned by Publicis. "Part of Rishad's genius is to say you're doing everything wrong, but in a really polite and funny way that makes you feel good about it."
Right, left brain
Tobaccowala's dream job is a demanding one. He wakes every morning at 4:30, two hours before his wife. He spends the first hour reading, often dipping into several books at a time, usually fiction and nonfiction that has nothing to do with marketing or business. His current reads: "Sweet Tooth," a novel by Ian McEwan; the massive "Infinite Jest" by David Foster Wallace; and a book on contemporary architecture called "10 x 10."
His choice in books has a purpose.
"The nature of my job, which has to do with where the world is going, tends to be math-driven and very tech-driven and very digital and very science-driven," said Tobaccowala, who majored in mathematics at the University of Bombay. "It's a lot left brain."
The most successful companies, though, fuse left brain and right brain, or science and art, he says. Tobaccowala finds a lesson for marketers in this bit of truth. They are trying to motivate human beings, after all.

Fedora 20 Beta vs. Ubuntu 13.10 vs. Scientific Linux 6.4
Last week I shared results of Fedora 19 vs. Fedora 20 Beta Linux performance from an AMD Opteron system and those results were of much interest to many Phoronix readers, so to kick off a new week of Linux benchmarking are results from that system when adding in Ubuntu 13.10 and Scientific Linux 6.4 (RHEL-based) to this Linux OS comparison.

Intel Performance With Ubuntu Linux vs. Windows 8.1 Is A Mixed Bag
Earlier this week I published an extensive set of results from thirteen discrete AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards benchmarking various OpenGL games and comparing the Ubuntu Linux and Windows 8.1 performance when using the official AMD and NVIDIA drivers for each operating system. Those results were very interesting for both the AMD and NVIDIA GPUs, but now it's time to see how the Intel graphics are performing under Ubuntu and Windows 8.1 Pro x64. Making things even more interesting here is that Intel has only an open-source Linux driver and no closed-source solution.

Ubuntu Linux Gaming Performance Mostly On Par With Windows 8.1
Given the recent release of Microsoft Windows 8.1, at Phoronix we took 13 different AMD Radeon and NVIDIA GeForce graphics cards and compared the performance between Ubuntu Linux and Windows 8.1 with the same hardware and set of OpenGL games/benchmarks. For AMD and NVIDIA graphics cards with their official drivers, the performance is largely similar between the competing desktop operating systems but there are some performance exceptions.

The First Wayland Benchmarks From Fedora 20 Show Great Promise
Since last week it's been possible to run the GNOME Shell on Wayland with Fedora 20. The user-experience isn't yet refined and easy, but Linux enthusiasts can easily get a GNOME 3.10 session running on Wayland for testing purposes using F20 packages. In this article are the first graphics benchmarks from Fedora 20 when running GNOME 3.10 on Wayland with XWayland support and then from running a clean X.Org Server.

Ubuntu 13.10 Linux Disk Encryption Performance
It's been a while since last running any Ubuntu Linux disk encryption benchmarks either of the eCryptfs-based home directory encryption feature or the LUKS-based encrypted LVM, both of which are supported by Ubuntu's Ubiquity installer. With having around the System76 Gazelle Professional laptop and its nice Core i7 4900MQ "Haswell" CPU with Intel 520 SSD, and I'm always one to encourage encrypted disks especially for mobile systems, here are some new benchmarks of Ubuntu 13.10 with no disk encryption versus home directory encryption versus a fully encrypted LVM of the root EXT4 file-system.

Intel Haswell Linux Performance Remains Mixed Against Windows
Last month I published benchmarks showing Windows 8 beating Ubuntu Linux when it came to the Intel OpenGL performance for the latest generation Intel "Haswell" desktop processors. Since then there's been lots of commits to Mesa and continued improvements to the Linux kernel and for some tests the open-source Linux driver is in better standing. For the testing today is a comparison of Windows 8 Pro against the latest Ubuntu 13.10 development packages when using a System76 Gazelle Professional laptop with Core i7 4900MQ CPU.

SANANTONIO -- It issupposed to make you feel better when you aresick! However, a growing number of young people are chugging down cough medicine for a quick high.
Now the federal government wants to crack down on this trend.
Experts say teens abuse of the over-the-counter medicines because they areinexpensive and relatively easy to obtain. Which is why federal authorities are pushing for tighter regulations.
Parents should beware! A recently published report by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA)found the inappropriate use of Dextromethorphan or DXM .Itis found in over100 over-the-counter-medicines and is linked to nearly 8,000 emergency room visits in 2008. That's up more than 70% from 2004.
At least 3.1 million young adults between the ages of 12 through 25 have abused it at least once in their life.
We have had some incidents where clusters of kids who got into some cold remedies and several of them became ill, says Dr. Miguel Fernandez, Director of the Poision Center at theUniversity of Texas San Antonio Health Science Center.
Dr. Fernandez has as seen his share of teens overdosing on these cold medicines. He says they are abusing theseover-the-counter-medicinesto get a quick high .
TheFDA found that many teens sometimes drink more than 25 times the recommended dose of cold medicines, which is a practice dubbed as robotripping . Robotripping is nicknamed after the cold medicine Robitussun. Robotripping can lead to many serious side effects.
They can become agitated, they can become delirious.... sometimes they can have a seizure which can lead to other serious effects, says Dr. Fernandez.
Now theFDA is looking into requiring prescriptions to purchase any over-the-counter medicines containing DXM, as well as moving them behind the counter, and even banning purchases by those under the age of 18.
TheFDA will meet on September 14 to decide on whether to restrict access to medicines containing DXM.

Twice the amount of onions, shallots being procured; supply hit but prices still at par, says CM
The State government has taken steps to open 10 more farm fresh vegetable outlets in Chennai to keep the prices of vegetables under control, Chief Minister Jayalalithaa told the Assembly on Wednesday.
She also said the government had doubled the amount of onions and shallots (sambar onion) to be procured for sale at these outlets.
Replying to Panruti S. Ramachandran, DMDK member and deputy leader of the House, she said 30 vegetable outlets were currently selling six tonnes of onion and one tonne of shallots every day.
The price of onion is Rs. 50 per kg and shallots are priced at Rs. 60 per kg.
Holding the Centre's wrong economic policies responsible for the hike in the price of essential commodities, the Chief Minister said Tamil Nadu could not get adequate onions from Andhra Pradesh because of the Telangana protests in Karnool.
Every day, onions used to arrive in 70 lorries at the wholesale vegetable market in Koyambedu, but the number of lorries had come down to 55 on October 24. The next two days saw the arrival of only 50 trucks.
"Still, the price of onions in Tamil Nadu is on par with that of other states," she said.
Listing out the measures taken by her government to provide succour to the common man, Ms. Jayalalithaa said Amma canteens were selling food items at very reasonable rates and bottled water for only Rs. 10.
She said the State government was implementing these welfare schemes with the hope that the Centre would reimburse them. "But the Centre is losing its credibility. After allocating funds for every scheme and the State government going ahead and spending the amount, the Centre has slashed its funding by up to 20 per cent," she said.
Co-op societies to run them
With the 10 new farm fresh outlets to be opened by the co-operation, food and consumer protection department, the total number of outlets in the city will be 39.
As per the proposal, various co-operative societies will operate farm fresh vegetable outlets in seven places – Kellys Road, Kilpauk; Besant Nagar; Vazhai Thoppu, Saidapet; Balaji Nagar, Pallikaranai; Mahalakshmi Nagar, Madipakkam; Bharathi Nagar, Thiruvottiyur; and Mannarswami Koil Street, Washermanpet.
The Tamil Nadu Civil Supplies Corporation will run the other three outlets in Shanthi Colony, Nanganallur and Arumbakkam.

The Scarlet Oak Tavern
With its classically elegant dining room and steak-and-seafood-packed menu, the Scarlet Oak plays the part of a swanky suburban establishment. But don't expect the usual tepid filet mignon and gluey mashed potatoes. Every dish, from the spicy tuna tartare and perfectly cooked rib-eye to the oven-fired blue-crab-and-sharp-cheddar dip, is meticulously prepared and delicious.

Information Technology Industry Council
|This article relies too much on references to primary sources. (August 2010)
The Information Technology Industry Council (ITI) [1] is a Washington, D.C.-based trade association that represents companies from the information and communications technology (ICT) industry. As an advocacy organization, ITI works to influence policy issues aimed at encouraging innovation and promoting global competitiveness.[2]
Ars Technica has described the Information Technology Industry Council as "a lobbying group with a membership list that includes almost all the heavy-hitters of the tech world".[3] In 2006, InformationWeek's Digital Life Weblog called it "a lobbying group of 40 of the most powerful tech firms, including Cisco, Dell, eBay, IBM, Intel, Microsoft, Oracle SAP, and Sun".[4]
ITI works to help shape policy pertaining to tax, trade, talent, security, access, and sustainability issues for its member companies through its three main divisions: Environment and Sustainability, Global Policy, and Government Relations. ITI further supports its members by organizing industry-wide consensus on policy issues and providing access to global markets.[5]
Dean C. Garfield is the current President and Chief Executive Officer of ITI.[6][7][8][9]
According to its website, it was founded in 1916 in Chicago as the "National Association of Office Appliance Manufacturers", renamed the "Office Equipment Manufacturers Institute" in 1929, and became the "Business Equipment Manufacturers Association" (BEMA) in 1961.[10] In 1973, it became the "Computer and Business Equipment Manufacturers Association" (CBEMA), before receiving its current name in 1994.[10]
Environment and Sustainability Division[edit]
ITI's Environment and Sustainability division focuses on energy efficiency. Internationally, ITI engages with product stewardship and electronics recycling, product design and materials restrictions, energy efficiency and climate change, and environmentally preferable purchasing.[11]
ITI's Environmental Leadership Council is a separate membership entity that represents principal manufacturers of information technology equipment, wireless and consumer electronics devices, and other electronic and high-tech products and systems.
Government Relations Division[edit]
ITI promotes the interface between its member companies and policymakers and thought leaders. In order to accomplish this, it facilitates meetings with key policy individuals at ITI, on Capitol Hill, and with the Administration.[12]
ITI works to pinpoint annual policy priorities for the ICT industry. The association works to help shape policy development for corporate tax, global market access, health IT, intellectual property, STEM education and workforce policy and telecommunications.
Global Policy Division[edit]
ITI's Global Policy division works to maintain and promote market access for the ICT industry. ITI collaborates with the U.S. Trade Representative, U.S. Department of Commerce, U.S. Department of State, and U.S. embassies abroad to address expanding global market access. ITI also fosters strong relationships with domestic member company representatives and local industry associations to further its international trade policy priorities.
ITI's Global Policy division targets accessibility, technical standards, regulatory compliance, international trade policy, cybersecurity and China policy, as specific issue areas.[13]
ITI sponsors the International Committee for Information Technology Standards (INCITS)[14] and has provided funding for the Information Technology and Innovation Foundation (ITIF), a Washington, D.C.-based think tank.[3]

MRN Summit 2012: an opportunity to plan action on the burning issues for migrants
On 16 of March the Migrants' Rights Network will be holding its third annual national meeting for migrant community organisations, activists, NGOs and other stakeholders with an interest on migrants' rights.
What to expect
The first national meeting in 2010 focused on how to make the most of the knowledge and expertise held within community organisations to promote advocacy. The second meeting analysed opportunities and challenges for collaboration in the context of a tough funding environment.
This year's event, MRN Summit 2012, will review some last year's major developments and upcoming challenges for migrants. More importantly, it will be a chance to discuss collective action to respond to some of these challenges through advocacy and campaigning.
It has certainly been an agitated year. Capacity within the sector has been hit by cuts to local authority budgets and other sources of funding. The Government has introduced a raft of measures in rapid succession with the aim of achieving its net migration target. Many of these measures – on students, the Points Based System, settlement, family reunion, domestic workers – not only make entry to the UK more difficult, but restrict the rights of entitlements of those who are allowed to come.
The legal aid bill risks taking away the possibility for many migrants of receiving advice on their situation and to redress mistakes on their immigration cases. The Government has indicated its intention to review the ECHR, with migrants being singled out as justification for action. Meanwhile the government's recently published 'approach to integration' offers very little in the way of a vision or actions to facilitate the integration of migrants. The 'strategy' does hardly more than passing the buck to local authorities.
Our collective successes
Yet, in the middle of this tough environment, lots of organisations and individuals continue to do great work, not just supporting migrants and their communities, but campaigning and lobbying to improve opportunities and rights for migrants. And there have been some significant successes in the past year and a half as a result of the hard work of a diverse group of activists and campaigners.
There has been a reduction in the number of children held in detention, the period they are held for and improvements in the support they receive (even though completely ending child detention has remained elusive). Free HIV treatment has been extended to overseas visitors who have been in the UK for more than six months. Further education colleges have been given discretion to provide fully-funded ESOL to learners not receiving active benefits and an extra £10m funding basic English courses has been announced. Short term visas for artists and academics have been announced. Legal aid for foreign-spouses who are experiencing domestic violence will be retained despite initial proposals to be removed.
Beyond these national achievements, groups continue to develop relationships and campaign at a local level to improve access to services and support for migrants and people seeking asylum.
These achievements have come about through persistent lobbying and advocacy from activists, often through joined up working by complementary organisations. They have required collecting evidence, discussing alternatives with policy makers, rallying up political and grassroots support and setting out alternatives to government's proposals. Many have been partial victories, not obtaining the full set of results expected, but nonetheless achieving a much better outcome than what was on the table. These achievements will significantly change the future lives of thousands of migrants in the UK.
Going forward
As a sector we need to take inspiration in these achievements, learn from them, and plan towards the future to prepare ourselves for upcoming challenges. These will be the aims of the forthcoming MRN Summit 2012: to think about the main issues concerning people working with migrants, anticipate trends and forthcoming changes and set the scene for joint action to address them making the most of the diverse expertise of different organisations and individuals.
The meeting will be an opportunity for people with an interest in migration generally, those working with specific communities and those focusing on a particular area of expertise to come together to share their experiences and projects within a broad narrative on migration. We hope that by coming together on this day there will be a cross-fertilisation of ideas, a chance to connect with others who have similar interests and an opportunity to rally support for specific causes.

Ron Raymond's Week 11 CFL Picks
B.C. 50.5 vs. Montreal PK
Pick: B.C. PK
Ron's Comment: It took the Lions the 1st quarter to figure out the Alouettes can't stop the run and once Joe Smith got into a groove, it was lights out. I'm sure the Alouettes have practice on stopping the run this week in practice, so look for the Lions to run more play action pass this weekend. Montreal is not in the same league as the Lions who haven't done well SU in Montreal, but own an 80% winning percentage against the line. Look for the Lions to be a -3.0 point favorite by kickoff.
ATSDatabase Tip: When BRITISH COLUMBIA played as Road Team- Vs MONTREAL; The Lions are 8-2 ATS in their last 10 road games.
Forecast: B.C.29 Montreal 24
Saskatchewan 51.0 vs. Winnipeg -3.0
Pick: UNDER 51.0 (5* BEST BET)
Ron's Comment: No doubt the Saskatchewan Roughriders and Winnipeg Blue Bombers played the best entertaining game of the week and look for the same thrills this Saturday. I was very impress with Kevin Glenn's ability to spread the ball around to different receivers and the Blue Bombers defense did a respectable job in containing the Roughriders offense. In fact, the Riders and Bombers must have changed lead about 6 times during their game, but QB Kerry Joseph was the difference in the end. The game shifts back to Winnipeg and you never know how the wind will play a factor in the kicking game and that's why I'm going to go under the 51.0 point total this Saturday. Plus, I'm a law of average type handicapper and I'm looking for the total to go the other way this weekend.
ATSDatabase Tip: When ANY CFL Team played as a Road team -During the month of September -Before a division game -Playing on Sunday - Coming off a game scored 31 points or more - Allowed scored 27 points or less against - Coming off a Home win as a Favorite; The UNDER is 11-3-0 for the Road Team in this spot.
Forecast: Saskatchewan 27 Winnipeg 22

Oakland -2.5 over Detroit
The toilet bowl teams of the league last year square off this afternoon in what can only be upsides for both teams. The Raiders will start McCown at QB, but Culpepper could step in at anytime. Detroit has a ton of play makers, but will be going up against the number one secondary in the league last year and to make matters worst Kevin Jones is out. The Raiders will be able to sit back a little more and take Kitna off his game plan. Oakland probably lost 4 games last year just on penalties. This season they have a new coach and will be looking to get some more offensive production. Take the Raiders.

NFL - Tennessee @ Jacksonville 1:00 PM EST
Play On: 3* Jacksonville -6.5
Jacksonville is 5-1 ATS last 3 years when playing in September. Last year Tennessee allowed an average of 25 points per game overall. Jacksonville averaged 26.5 points per game at home last year while allowing only 11 points per game at home last season. Jacksonville is 2-0 SU and ATS at home vs Tennessee last 3 years. Tennessee is 2-8 ATS in September vs a division opponent with revenge. Jacksonville is 8-0 ATS in first game of the season. We'll play Jacksonville for 3 units today! Thanks and good luck, Rocky

Alex ~ Smart
Buffalo/Denver OVER 37-Jay Cutler the Broncos QB is going to be allowed to step up and look for big plays down field here this week , even though he is on the road. HC Shanahan really likes this kid, and trusts his ability to break a big play, against a host Buffalo Bills defense that has alot of young inexperienced players in their lineup. Cutler threw for 1,001 yards and nine touchdowns after taking over for Jake Plummer last season and has seen all 5 of his career starts , see both his own team and their opponents both scoring 20 points or more in all those tilts , which would easily eclipse todays total. Having the explosive RB tandem of Tatem Bell and Travis Henry in the backfield will also help keep the pressure off Cutler. On the other side of the ball the Bills JP Losman has to reciprocate with some offensive fire works of his own against a vulnerable (over rated) Denver D and secondary, or be blown out. I expect this tilt to easily go Over the Total. Final notes & Trends: BUFFALO is 13-4 Over in their L/17 home games against AFC West division opponents ,with the average combined score ringing in at 45.6 PPG. Play OVER

Sunday Night Play...
10 Dime –
Take the points with the Giants tonight on the road over the Cowboys.
This is one of the more bitter rivalries in the NFL and it should be a pretty tight game.
There are questions about how effective the Giants will be this year without Tiki Barber, but there are enough weapons on offense that it shouldn't bog them down without him.
Eli Manning had a good preseason, completing 32 of 46 passes for 318 yards and two TDs. I know you can't place any value on preseason statistics, but Eli did look comfortable in the pocket and in his reads.
The Cowboys begin the Wade Phillips era tonight and I've never been a big fan of how he manages a game.
There is also the question of how Tony Romo will fare this season. He looked great in his first five starts of last year, but fizzled out in his last five. He also botched the snap on a potential game-winning field goal in their playoff loss at Seattle.
The Giants are an impressive 5-0-1 ATS in their last six meetings with the Cowboys, and four of the last five games were decided by a touchdown or less.
Take the points with the Giants as they keep it close in Big D tonight.
Sunday's Plays...
30 Dime –
Lay the points with Seattle today when they host Tampa Bay.
The Seahawks figure to have a better season this year, as they enter the 2007 campaign with Shaun Alexander and Matt Hasselbeck both healthy. Just as important, the offensive line is injury-free as well.
The Buccaneers will start Jeff Garcia at quarterback, but he's going to find that he doesn't have the weapons in Tampa that he had in Philadelphia last year.
Seattle has also bolstered its defense this year through free agency, the draft and trades. Playing in one of the NFL's toughest home venues will give the Seahawks an even greater advantage over the Bucs.
Tampa Bay is 7-20 ATS in its last 27 road games under coach Jon Gruden, while Seattle is on a 4-0 ATS run in home openers. The Seahawks are also 12-6-1 ATS at home the past two seasons.
Lay the points with Seattle as they win and cover over Tampa Bay.
10 Dime –
Lay the points with the Steelers on the road over the Browns.
Pittsburgh has dominated this series since Cleveland returned to the NFL in 1999. Granted, the Steelers will operate with new coach Mike Tomlin, but most of the key members of the Super Bowl winning team in 2005 are still around.
Ben Roethlisberger will be asked to take a bigger responsibility in the offense this year, and considering he led the league with 23 interceptions it's either a sign that Big Ben has a complete grasp of what's going on, or it's going to be a disaster for Tomlin.
I'm willing to bet that Ben has a handle on everything and I expect a return to form from his first two seasons when he set league records for wins at the start of a career.
Willie Parker gashed the Browns defense last season and he should continue that pace today against a Cleveland unit that made no upgrades in the offseason.
If the Steelers control the line of scrimmage, they'll continue a familiar trend against the Browns where they've consistently beat them by double digits.
On defense, Pittsburgh led the league in fewest points allowed per game during the preseason, and that was with a vanilla look. Now that defensive coordinator Dick LeBeau can gameplan, it should make for a long day for Charlie Frye and company.
Pittsburgh is 7-0 SU and 6-0-1 ATS in the last seven meetings with Cleveland, winning by an average score of 28-12.
The Browns are only 1-6 ATS in their last seven home openers and 4-10-1 ATS in their last 15 games against AFC North opponents.
Lay the points with the Steelers as they grab the road win and cover.
Lay the points with Philadelphia on the road over Green Bay.
The Eagles will welcome back quarterback Donovan McNabb and I expect him to pick up where he left off last season before he was lost with a knee injury. McNabb was on his way to a spectacular season, tossing 18 TDs against only six INTs before he was hurt.
The Packers just don't match up well against the Eagles, going 0-4 SUATS in the past four meetings. Philadelphia has outscored Green Bay by 57 points during the past three years.
By letting running back Ahman Green go, the Packers have nobody to keep the Philadelphia defense honest which will open up the blitzing lanes against quarterback Brett Favre.
The Packers are just 4-10-2 ATS in their last 16 home games and 2-6 ATS in their last eight home openers.
Lay the points with Philadelphia as they grab the road win and cover.
5 Dime –
Lions-Raiders UNDER
Take the under this afternoon between the Lions and the Raiders.
I can't believe this total is posted so high. It may not seem like much to the average bettor, but Oakland is just as deficient offensively as it was last year and while the Lions may talk a good game, they're going to have a tough time putting points on the board against a good Raiders defense.
Jon Kitna was a turnover machine for Detroit last year, and that plays right into the Raiders strength, their pass defense.
Oakland had a forgettable 2006 season, but not because of their defense, which ranked third in the league.
Both teams are going to struggle to move the ball today, so play on the under.
Re: NFL Service Picks-Sunday
ProfessorWins NFL
All I get are his 5* plays, so not sure what his other 2* plays are:
5* TAMPA BAY +6 over Seattle
Week 1 road dogs of less than a touchdown (+6.5 or less) that won 6 or fewer games last season are 29-9-1 ATS since 1989 (20-2 ATS since 2000). Note, if their opponent today had a winning record last year, the record in the above angle is 9-2-1 ATS since 1989, including a perfect 6-0 ATS since 2000.
Re: NFL Service Picks-Sunday
Chuck Franklin Sunday Plays:
This team is going to surprise people. Bill Parcells is so overrated as a coach and with him gone the Cowboys will be a much better team. Terrell Owens and Tony Romo are going to score lots of touchdowns this season. But the Dallas defense is going to lead the way to victory. The Giants will miss the running skills of Tiki Barber. Eli Manning has still not impressed me enough to think he can win a big game like this one, on the road. The Cowboys are hard to beat in Dallas, especially against a team from their division. They are 69-32 in that situation the last 26 years. The underachieving Giants will lose to the the more talented Cowboys and Tom Coughlin will be on the hot seat right from the start of the season. Absolute Blowout!
I like the road team in this game, especially if I'm getting points with the Chiefs. Houston should not be favored over any team in the league until they show the ability to win on a consistent basis. The Texans are 1-5 ATS the last six home games in September when playing an opponent outside their division. I know that in the preseason Houston was solid and Kansas City was awful. But I also know that the Texans are 3-12 the last five seasons during the first three games of the season.
Stephen Jackson had a great 2006 season with over 2300 total yards rushing and receiving behind a makeshift offensive line. With a healthy group of lineman leading the way I think the Rams will be scoring lots of points. The Marc Bulger-to-Torry Holt combo is as good as the Jake Delhomme-to-Steve Smith combo. So the difference will be the running game. It was the Panthers that held the Rams scoreless for the first time in eight years the last time these two teams played. Being at home, with that revenge I will be on the Rams to win this game.
Re: NFL Service Picks-Sunday
Keith Line (Wagering Sports Advice) Sunday NFL and CFL:
Denver Broncos -3.
The Broncos are going to open the 2007 campaign with a win. Once again Denver has a extremely powerful ground game featuring Travis Henry who had a strong season last year with the Bills. Travis Henry will be able to blast it up the gut against the Buffalo defence who is missing players like Takeo Spikes and London Fletcher. Jay Cuter will start where he left off last season. Look for a strong mix of pass and run to keep the Buffalo defence off guard all game long. On the defensive side Denver is stacked once again. Champ Bailey, Dre Bly, John Lynch and DJ Williams will shut down the Bills single handily. A strong D-Line and pass protection will get to J.P. Losman. Look for some interceptions and good field position all game long for the Broncos. The Bills have a weak defence like already stated. They lost some key play makers and do not have much of an answer to the run or pass going into this game. This makes them very vulnerable. On the offensive side they have J.P. who is definitely nothing to write home about and will struggle all game long against this picture perfect Blitzing Denver defence. Trying to use the ground game is useless as well due to the loss of Willis Mcgahee. Marshawn Lynch is not ready to be an all star running back for a team that needs one. Look for a lack of offensive yards and 3 or 4 turnovers from the Bills. I'm predicting the Broncos to go into Buffalo and cover the spread of 3 points.
St. Louis Rams pk.
Like a couple years ago St. Louis has a very solid offense. Stephen Jackson has turned into one of the premier running backs in the league. Jackson is able to dominate any defence he takes and make star linebackers look like first year tap dancers with his direction change and east west burst. Marc Bulger has quietly turned into a pretty solid quarterback. With good pocket presence and an ability to find his star receivers Tory Holt, Isaac Bruce, Dante Hall and Drew Bennett. Those four receivers right there are in my mind the top receiving core in the league. St. Louis will have no trouble all game long in the air or on the ground for that matter. Jake Delhomme will need to have a big game after the Panthers signed David Carr to a contract. Delhomme facing a strong blitzing defensive line does not add up. Look for turnovers and hurried attempts all day from the Panthers. I'm going to take the Rams at home straight up Sunday afternoon.
Jacksonville -6
Finally Jack Del Rio has made the right decision. Cut Byron Leftwich. Sure we all loved Byron but when you suck, you suck. The Jags finished last year 10-6...I mean 8-8. The fact was they played some solid football last season and was it not for some late game blowups in the 3rd and 4th quarter they may have made it far in the season. With a solid running attack in Fred Taylor and a team averaging over 5 yards per play last season the Jags are very effective on the offensive side of the ball. Dennis Northcut and Ernest Wilford and Jones-Drew lead the wide outs for the Jags. Look for a solid performance offensively today from the Jags. So Vince Young was a solid quarterback last season. He was all over the place running the ball and throwing miracle passes all game long. Here's a secret, Travis Henry was in the back field. Now if you actually read everything here you would notice Travis Henry is playing with the Broncos this season. This leaves Tennessee with Chris Brown in the backfield. No not the rapper, Chris Brown the 3rd round 29th overall pick 2 years back. Still don't know him, don't worry you aren't missing much. Now Jacksonville has to and will bring the blitz almost every down and force Vince Young to scramble and throw passes that you should not throw to receivers who don't usually catch the passes they shouldn't catch. This spells turnovers and sacks for Jacksonville. Not only will the Jags knock the Totals off balance but the crowd will help along with that as well. Look for a weak offensive and defensive game from a totally different Titans team to open the season Sunday afternoon. Take the Jags to win by a touchdown.
Cleveland +5
Heads or Tails? That is what was on the minds of the Cleveland quarterbacks going into training camp. It wisent losing games or how bad they were last season but it was on a flip of a coin. Charlie Frye called heads and will start Sunday for the Browns. Now your right he sucked last year, but this year the laughing stock of the NFL is allot better. Finally a good offensive line made up of Hank Fraley, Eric Steinbach, and Joe Thomas. These 3 will give what every quarterback and college student needs, protection. With at least 2 seconds in the pocket each throw this year Charlie Frye will be able to make completions to receivers like Joe Jurevicious and Kellen Winslow. The Browns finally have a running back in Jamal Lewis who made the move from Baltimore. His ankle is 100% healed and he is good to go. Pittsburgh has most of their players from last year back but are missing their leader. Coach Cowher is gone which is going to make things different in Steel town. A different system is always tough to get used to in just the pre season and make it work in the first week. I'm going to back the Browns at home plus the five points to get the win over the Steelers and start what I predict to be a 7-9 or 8-8 season for the new and improved Browns.
Philadelphia -2.5
The saying I got his number is never more true then it is with Andy Reid and playing the Packers. Reid is 5-0 in his last 5 games facing the Packers and the Eagles have outscored the Pack by more then 45 points in those games. Philadelphia has a fresh off surgery Donovan Mcnabb who recovered fast because he ate his Campbell's chunky soup every day....err strong work ethic and training. The Eagles will also have Brian Westbrook in the backfield who will start and rack up a lot of yards this season. Hank Baskett will be the new receiving star in Philly. After some solid outings in the past season and the loss of some key receivers its his time to shine for the Eagles. Now making the change to Green Bay. Brett Farve will make his 2,131 start today for the Packers, as long as he doesn't break a hip on the way to the stadium he will break Cal Ripken Jr. streak of most games started in a row. Luckily for Brett Farve the Packers are starting Vernand Morency and Brandon Jackson in the back field. Now most of you are thinking, why does that make Brett Farve lucky? Well, people will be too busy trying to think about everyone they went to school with that lives in Wisconsin now with the name Vernand and Brandon because it might be their friends who got picked off the streets to play running back for the Packers. Donald Driver is playing hurt, Greg Jennings is going to have a tough go against the Philly secondary and Bubba Franks is not going to start. Its going to be a long day for the Pack. I'm putting my money on the Eagles minus 2 and a hook.
Those are my five picks for Week One of the NFL Season. Hopefully you will be on the winning line today. Remember, Think Smart and Bet Sharp

Revisiting Pandora... the one without blue aliens... or trees.
By Enigmatical 6 Comments
Did Gearbox make a game specifically for me? Probably not, but I've been searching for a game like Borderlands for years.
Sorry, Hellgate: London... you came close, but just did not cut it.
In an attempt to create a new blog post weekly, I've decided to continue my trend of talking about what I've been playing... and what I've been playing is alot of Borderlands.
An unreasonable amount of Borderlands given that I have unfinished (and unopened) games on my shelf that desperately need attention and the new release of Final Fantasy XIII and God of War 3 are just begging for my hard-earned cash. And somehow I have to still show up for raids against the nefarious Lich King.
And yet, I picked up Borderlands on the PC (along with all the DLC) through Steam. Damn Steam for making it all just so easy.
A friend of mine online was chatting about the newest DLC released for the game, General Knoxx's Armory, and how there's like a raid boss, all kinds of new quests, 11 new levels, a whole new tier of fancy cyan-colored weapons, and literally as he is talking about all these new features I'm purchasing the entire game off Steam in preparation for a weekend of playing it with him and the rest of the guys online.
And we definitely did. But I've also started playing Borderlands on my 360 again. My main reason for that? Achievements mostly.
So the draw on the PC is that my friends are on there and 4-player Borderlands is beyond fun (Kudos to Gearbox for actively ramping up the difficultly, i.e. spawning more enemies, as more players join). The draw on the 360 is my (probably futile) attempt to complete all of the available DLC solo.
I am playing a Siren though so I have a good chance of achieving at least the single-player goal right?... right? >.>;;
As an aside, has anybody else bought essentially two (or more) copies of a game to play it on multiple platforms? I just wanna gauge where I fall on Crazy Gamer scale this week.

I unplugged the wire harness and removed the valve, then installed the new valve, plugged in the wire harness and hooked up the water lines. I turned on the water line and plugged in the refrigerator. The ice maker works great.

PORTLAND Complaints from transgender students at Grant High School prompted administrators to create new restrooms.
Some students weren t comfortable going into the men s or women s restrooms, so Grant became the first high school in Portland, and one of the first in the nation, to have unisex bathrooms for transgender students.
The four restrooms for students and two for staff are all single stalls. They are available for everyone to use, no matter their gender or sexual orientation.
Administrators converted the bathrooms after concerns were raised by students. Grant has at least ten students who openly identify as transgender.
Among them is Scott Morrison. He said going into a men s or women s restroom at school became so uncomfortable he stopped drinking anything during the day.
I definitely got some really weird looks in the women s restroom. It is just not comfortable, he said. I just don t feel safe in the men s restroom...And in the women s restroom, I just get funny looks.
Administrators said the renovation didn t cost much. They just changed some locks and got new signs.
