NBA draft lottery
The NBA draft lottery is tonight at 5 p.m., marking the first time a Trail Blazers representative will be in attendance in five years. The last time, of course, was in 2007, when Portland landed the top pick — a selection they used on Greg Oden.
Brandon Roy was the team's representative back then. This time, it will be shooting guard Wesley Matthews trying to influence the ping-pong balls with his good luck.
Currently, the Blazers hold the No. 11 pick, and can attain the No. 1, 2 or 3 position should good fortune find them.
They also own the Nets' pick, which is at No. 6 for now — but should it move into the top 3, will go back to New Jersey due to previously-negotiated terms. In other words, the best scenario Portland can hope for is the first and sixth picks.
That said, it is also possible that the Blazers pick ends up moving into the 12th, 13th or 14th spot if teams move ahead of them on the draft board.
— The Columbian
TUALATIN, Ore. — It sure didn't look like a Trail Blazers workout — and not just because it was the first time any of the players were hooping inside the team's practice facility.
No, the more conspicuous difference between this practice and most of the organization's workouts was the fact that there were two healthy centers on the floor.
The Blazers held their first pre-draft workout Tuesday morning, and headlining the session were big men Tyler Zeller and Meyers Leonard.
Zeller, a 7-footer who spent four years at North Carolina, is the reigning ACC Player of the Year and projected by many mock drafts to be a late lottery pick. Leonard, a 7-foot-1 center from Illinois, played two years with the Illini and is predicted to go somewhere in the late first round.
And even though hundreds of hours have gone into scouting, nerves were still sprinting throughout these guys' veins.
"I was missing a lot of shots that I usually make," said a grinning Zeller, admitting that it was not his best workout. "I gotta get settled in. Toward the end, I was able to finish."
Zeller added that he thinks he needs to add about 15 pounds in order to pull his weight in the post in the NBA, but feels that he is very adept at running the court.
Leonard, on the other hand, spoke of his physical play and his "being willing to bang" as assets that will help a franchise.
Whatever skill set the two bigs thought they possessed, they wanted to make sure they showcased it Tuesday -- even if it was at the other's expense.
"They were very competitive with each other," said Garrett Sim, a University of Oregon product who also was working out Tuesday. "That's all you can ask for."
Sim, 21, went to Sunset High in Beaverton, Ore., and attended his first Blazers game when he was 4. He is not, however, projected to be drafted, and said that his primary goal is to make a summer league roster.
"I'm not a big-name guy," Sim said. "But hard work has gotten me a lot of places."
Among the others in Tualatin Tuesday were Old Dominion guard Kent Bazemore, Syracuse forward Kris Joseph, and Long Beach State point guard Casper Ware.
Ware and Joseph and projected as late second-round picks, while Bazemore is currently off the mock draft boards.
No surprise then that 7-footers were the main source of attention Tuesday.
"They (Leonard and Zeller) are both very talented and will get a lot of consideration," Blazers acting general manager Chad Buchanan said. "It's hard to find centers."
The Portland Trail Blazers and the NBA Development League's Idaho Stampede announced today that the two teams have entered into a single affiliation partnership beginning with the 2012-13 season. The Trail Blazers will be the Stampede's sole NBA affiliate and will have control over the team's basketball operations.

[Blitz Comet (Tyler the Creator)]
from Childish Gambino (Ft. Regular Show & Tyler, The Creator) – Regular Show "Rap It Up" Lyrics on Genius
A blitz is a quick, sudden attack on the quarterback in football.
A comet is a celestial body composed of dust and gas that moves throughout space. It often looks like a star.
So, "Blitz Comet" could be taken to mean that this dude thinks he's a fast-rising star.
However, a comet typically orbits around a sun or similar star, and this could mean that Blitz Comet will never have the talent equivalent of those he hovers around. Blitz will never match the talent of Alpha Dog.
"Blitz Comet" is also a reference to one of Tyler's alternative identities, Wolf Haley. It's a combination of Halley's Comet and Blitz Wolf, an early anti-German cartoon that parodied Adolf Hitler.

DAYTON — While a lot of athletes were earning trips to their first state championship, this state stuff is getting to be old hat for Beavercreek's Jordan Grant.
After finishing second in the 800-meter run during Friday's Division I regional track and field championships at Welcome Stadium, the Beavers distance runner qualified for her third state championship this school year.
And, oh yeah, she's a freshman.
Grant qualified for the Division I state cross country championships in the fall, she was at the state indoor track and field championships this past winter, and now she's off to Columbus next weekend for outdoor track. She may be a freshman, but she's already savvy to mustering up a winning race strategy.
"I knew I was seeded about fourth, and then two girls who were in front of me scratched. So I just knew that I had to stay up with the front girl, Alexa Jennings (of Centerville)," Grant said. "I thought I was in good shape. Then, when you get to the finish, your legs are dead but you just try and give it your all."
Grant will be joined by the Beavercreek girls team of Alexandra Rankin, Alexandra Applin, Alexus Kennedy and Nikki Stephens. That quartet finished third in the 400-meter relay final to advance.
According to Beavercreek assistant coach Jerry Clager, the girls came in with one of the fastest seeding times and expected to move on. "They just wanted to make sure they finished in the top-4, but with a relay event you never know. Anything can happen. It's good to see them move on to state," he said.
The Beavers came in with a 49.77-second seeding time, but finished the regional final in 49.25 to advance. Three of the girls — Rankin, Applin and Stephens — are also freshmen. They'll join Beavercreek juniors Kennedy in Columbus.
Tyler Everidge started the Greene County drive to state in the boys high jump competition. The Bellbrook senior placed second with a jump of 6 feet, 6 inches, but things got a little bit exciting for him when the competitors jumped the 6-4 height.
"I'd missed the first two attempts, so having to get over the bar on that third attempt was pretty nerve wracking," he said. "But my coach got me straightened out with my steps, and I was fine after that."
Fairly fresh off her three district wins a week ago, Fairborn's Aaliyah Patten will be making her third trip to Columbus.
The Skyhawk junior placed second in the 400-meter final. She didn't have a lot of time to celebrate her runner-up finish, but scurried off to compete in the 200-meter final.
She was sixth in the 200 and the 100 finals. The top four finishers in each event qualified to Columbus.
"I'm going to just focus my training on the 400 and work on maintaining my speed, being stronger and fitter," she said. "I'll do what I can to make it a good race and come up with a better time."
Xenia distance standout Daniel Michalski went into Friday's boys 1,600-meter run with a strategy of his own, and it earned him a fourth-place finish and the opportunity to represent the Buccaneers in Columbus. He said he pushed the two Cincinnati Xavier runners, and then did his best to stay with them at the end.
"I'm really excited," he said. "I'm glad for the opportunity to run here. I've been thinking about it all season as a big-time goal. I'm really thankful — to God first, and to my teammates and coaches — they believed in me and they pushed me to this point.
Michalski said his parents helped ease the pre-race pressure a bit, too.
"They said they loved me regardless of the outcome," he said. "And that means a lot to me."
The Division II regional championships will take place starting at 11:30 a.m. today at Welcome Stadium.
The state track and field championships will be held June 6-7 at the Jesse Owens track facility on The Ohio State University campus, in Columbus.

Have a beefy system that requires a large PSU, but don't want to suffer with an ugly unit? OCZ recently released their GameXStream series which are designed with gamers specifically in mind, and promise to deliver "XStream" performance.
Ahh, the most important part of any PSU review.. the testing! This is an SLI capable unit, though I do not have SLI. While it's odd to bench with an SLI PSU without SLI, I believe the power hungry Intel will make up for it. Here are the system specs:
Despite the lack of SLI, the 6800GT is still a power hungry card by it's own right. The CPU is massively overclocked, and also proves the largest power drain in the entire system. The system includes three 120mm fans, not including the one in the power supply. I am using the Corsair Nautilus 500 for cooling, which also adds to the power drain.
To stress the system, I ran an instance of Prime95s Small FFT test on each CPU core. In addition, RTHDRIBL was run to stress the GPU, and the new stress test with EVEREST 3.0 was also run. These four tests ran constantly for the course of four hours. All of the results were grabbed using Everests log feature, which does a great job of grabbing values from the BIOS and spitting them out into an HTML file. Note that the PSU has 4 +12 rails, however Everest only will monitor one. I do not have a multimeter as of yet to grab proper rail information for +12v2 – +12v4.
The rails overall were pretty stable, although I have two concerns. The biggest concern is the fact that the +5 rail broke through ATX standards and hit 5.27v, which is 0.02v above the said standard. Second, the +12v1, which focuses solely on the CPU, fluctuated quite a bit from 12.14 to 12.19. While this is not a huge concern, it was quite apparent because it happened very often.
Overall, this is a solid PSU. It looks great, includes every connector you should ever need and is actually relatively quiet. The sleeved cables pretty much won me over in terms of it's looks though. If a PSU is not modular, this is the next best thing. It's must easier to keep control of the cables, and looks far better.
Two things concern me about the GameXStream though. First off would be the +5 rail pushing beyond the ATX2.0 spec, which it definitely shouldn't. I actually haven't reviewed a PSU before that had more than a 5% delta. Considering that this PSU is designed to handle large systems, I am surprised that my rather small Intel caused the rails to fluctuate. What's even more bizarre though, is that no other reviews of this PSU I have read, have had similar fluctuations. Many of the reviews had much tighter rail results than I had, so chances could be that I received a less than perfect PSU.
The second problem would be the small heatsinks. With the power that this unit holds, and the extra available space inside, one would expect larger sinks. As mentioned earlier, some people have reported their GameXStream getting hotter than they should be, and I believe larger heatsinks could prevent this.
These two problems aside, This is a pretty solid PSU. I would have no problem recommending it, however just keep the two above mentioned issues in mind. Considering I seem to be one of the very few who have had problems with the rails, I cannot guarantee this is a common problem. These PSU's have been out for a few months now though, and I have not heard of any large issue to speak of. If you decide to pick one up, you won't regret it. I am awarding the PSU an 8/10.

Food preservation workshop on Aug. 4
LACONIA — A program how to freeze, dry or can produce and other foods will take place on Monday, Aug. 4, from 6-8 p.m. at the offices of the Cooperative Extension Service, on the third floor of 635 Main St. in downtown Laconia.
Canning, freezing and drying are the main methods of preserving homegrown, or locally grown, food. The method(s) one chooses depends on finding safe preservation guidelines for the foods to be preserved, having the proper equipment and space, and the cost involved.
Ann Hamilton, a field specialist with the Extension Service, will cover the latest research-based methods and recipes, answer questions, and share experiences about these topics. She will also give an overview of preserving food safely at home, jams and jellies, picking, canning fruits and vegetables, and freezing and drying food.

Annie and the Orphans Marking 50th anniversary at Pitman's Friday Night
LACONIA — Pitman's Freight Room at 94 New Salem Street in Laconia is pleased to announce that on Friday July 25 at 8 p.m. Lakes Region favorites "Annie and the Orphans will celebrate their 50th anniversary
As a sophomore in high school at the age of 15, Anatole "Annie" Paquette skipped school with a friend and drove to a Manchester music store and with money saved for his class ring, purchased his first set of drums.
Determined to form his own band and teach himself how to play with no lessons, he convinced a few of his guitar playing classmates to join him. Rehearsing after school while listening to 45rpm records and performing at school dances, soon established the group to be known as "Annie and The Orphans".
The group advanced to playing street dances, college fraternity parties, Battle of the Bands competitions, anywhere where people loved to hear the music of the British Invasion of the 60's.
Over the years they have appeared at a variety of venues such as Gillette Stadium, Meadowbrook Musical Arts Center, Trump's Taj Mahal in Atlantic City, Stark & Veteran's Parks in Manchester, the Hampton Beach Seashell stage, Flyin' Monkey Theater and on the M/S Mount Washington cruise ship. They have also performed at the Sandwich Fair, the Champlain Valley Fair in Essex Junction, VT, the Ossipee Mountain Fair in Hiram, ME and at many town gazebo summer concerts throughout the state of New Hampshire.
Now approaching five decades, the band still continues to amaze fans with its unique blend of musical talent and showmanship, which includes their patriotic gesture of handing out US flags while singing God Bless America with its audience.
Admission, $12, show starts at 8 p.m. and Pitman's is an air-conditioned BYOB Venue.
A catered dinner buffet will be available before the show for $10. Call 527-0043 or 494-3334 for details and reservations.

Poetry reading in Wolfeboro Thursday
WOLFEBORO – The monthly reading of the Poets in the Attic will be en pleine aire this month.
Their July open mike reading will be held in front of The Country Bookseller in the Durgin Stables courtyard Thursday, July 24, at 7 p.m.
"Last summer we took our show on the road, heading to local art galleries," said PITA host Gordon Lang. "We may do that again in August, but I love doing at least one reading outside."
This event marks the 10th birthday of the Poets in the Attic, which began in July 2004 in the office space above Made on Earth. "If it hadn't been for Marybeth Bryant's 'attic,' we might never have gotten off the ground," Lang said.
"Karen Baker of The Bookseller has been hosting us for the last nine years, but in the summertime, she has an evening business to run. And we're always looking for ways to add fresh air to our readings, whether that means new readers or taking it to the streets," he said.
Several stores in the Durgin complex remain open late during the summer months. The Bookseller remains open to cater to the poets and any customers who stop in
Aside from the surroundings, this month's fourth-Thursday reading will be much like those of other months. There are no featured performers. Local poets and musicians gather to perform their work or the work of others. And Wolfeboro Community Television records the first hour for broadcast later on.
"It's wide open. Anybody can come and perform," Lang said. "But this month, remember to bring a lawn chair and maybe a jacket.
The Poets in the Attic invites all visitors to join the reading on Thursday, July 24, from 7 to 9 in front of The Country Bookseller.
The Country Bookseller is on North Main Street in the Durgin Stables complex of shops. Free off-street parking right next to the store is available via Mill Street.

Amazon.com Review
De Villiers examines the checkered history of humankind's management of water--which, he hastens to remind us, is not a renewable resource in many parts of the world. One of them is the Nile River region, burdened by overpopulation. Another is the Sahara, where Libyan ruler Muammar Qaddafi is pressing an ambitious, and potentially environmentally disastrous, campaign to mine deep underground aquifers to make the desert green. Another is northern China, where the damaging effects of irrigation have destroyed once-mighty rivers, and the Aral Sea of Central Asia, which was killed within a human lifetime. And still another is the American Southwest, where crops more fitting to a jungle than a dry land are nursed. De Villiers travels to all these places, reporting on what he sees and delivering news that is rarely good.
De Villiers has a keen eye for detail and a solid command of the scientific literature on which his argument is based. He's also a fine storyteller, and his wide-ranging book makes a useful companion to Marc Reisner's classic Cadillac Desert and other works that call our attention to a globally abused--and vital--resource. --Gregory McNamee --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.

MicroEdge, Inc. has released a version of SlickEdit for Linux. SlickEdit is a character-based programmer's editor running on a variety of platforms and it should appeal to developers who work in more than one environment. The current list price is US $195.
For a programmer arriving from a DOS environment, SlickEdit provides a comfortable transition. Instead of arcane keystrokes and endless keyboard remapping, the user is presented with an unobtrusive menu system which may be later discarded. Pressing F1 brings up the help system and the behavior of particular keys, such as insert and delete, act in the manner to which the DOS user is accustomed.
SlickEdit can be considered a fairly complete editor in that it provides most of the features necessary for productive coding. It has full undo and redo capability, even past successive file saves. Multi-file search and replace is supported along with regular expression searches. Cut and paste operations may be performed on marked lines, blocks, and columns. Multiple clipboards of marked text are maintained. A Rexx-like macro language provides over 850 callable editor functions.
A single diskette installs SlickEdit onto /usr/bin and /usr/lib/slick by default, consuming about 2Mb of disk space. Less space is necessary if you choose not to install all the macro files. The SlickEdit executable is only 260K. A 400-page perfect bound manual is included with the application.
There are three ways you may wish to use SlickEdit on a Linux system: console, terminal, or xterm. Each has its own peculiarities and you will probably want to create a separate keyboard description file for each. A key mapping utility called genktab allows you to tell SlickEdit what to expect when a key is pressed. A readable keyboard description file is compiled into a ".tab" file. Another utility, showkey, is provided to help you determine what sequences your terminal is generating.
Most of the common terminal types are included in the default keyboard description file, including vt100 and xterm. To work with xterm, the file /usr/lib/slick/xdefault must be appended to the .Xdefaults file in your $HOME directory. A special xs script is included to avoid the initial configuration hurdles. Under xterm the window can be dynamically resized with the mouse, but the mouse cannot be used to manipulate text within the screen. MicroEdge has stated they intend to add mouse support for Unix in a future version of SlickEdit.
Under console mode, SlickEdit is virtually indistinguishable from its DOS version. The Alt-F1 thru Alt-F4 keys may need to be remapped to provide functions such as MOVE-EDGE and DELETE-ADJACENT, since most Linux systems use these key combinations to provide virtual terminals. You also can perform these operations from the SlickEdit menu or configure the Alt key for a non-console terminal as described below.
Setting up a terminal to act the way a normal DOS user expects is challenging, especially for a text editor. The Alt key has no counterpart with most terminals in standard use today. MicroEdge works around this problem by defining the backtick (`) key as the Alt key for a non-console, non-xterm terminal. In practice this adaptation is easy and natural to use. To enter an actual backtick, a ^Q ` sequence is entered.
Another potential problem with using a terminal is common to many Unix applications^-namely the confusion resulting in sending an escape sequence (say, F1 under ANSI emulation) and a literal escape (0x1b) character. This is not peculiar to either Linux or SlickEdit, but it is more noticeable in text editing applications where you're likely to be pounding the arrow keys a lot. SlickEdit attempts to alleviate this by allowing the user to specify a delay for an ambiguous key sequence. On other Unix systems I have noticed that this is not always 100% successful, especially if you are running telnet through through heavily loaded systems. However, my limited use on Linux uncovered no problems.
If you purchase SlickEdit, you have, at a minimum, two expectations: ease of use and technical support. After configuration, SlickEdit has very few surprises. Getting to the point that you are satisfied with your configuration, however, may require a phone call to Technical Support. My prior experience with MicroEdge's support has been very good, and this time was no exception. Basically, I wanted true 8-bit line drawing characters rather than the stodgy hyphen, plus, and vertical bar (- + |) symbols displayed. My call was returned in 30 minutes. After ascertaining what I needed, the specialist offered to e-mail me the necessary file, with the assurance that I could call him back if there were any further problems. My ANSI.DAT file arrived later that day and everything worked as expected. MicroEdge also supports a CompuServe forum: "go slickedit".
My overall impression is that MicroEdge has done an excellent job in porting SlickEdit to Linux. I have written many lines of code over the past two years with the SlickEdit family of editors on a variety of platforms. There are certainly other freeware alternatives to the venerable vi and Emacs editors, but I find my level of productivity is raised (and frustration lowered) by using SlickEdit.

Intel sorry over iPhone ARM jab, lauds instead
updated 11:10 pm EDT, Thu October 23, 2008
Intel apologizes for jab
After an Intel representative blasted the iPhone's ARM processor as the cause of its problems, the company backpedaled on the statements, saying they were "inappropriate." Intel put forth the apology at the Intel Developer Forum in Taiwan, and instead lauded the device for being "extremely innovative," enabling "new and exciting market opportunities." Intel also said representatives should not be commenting on specific customer product designs.
The note comes a day after Intel's Pankaj Kedia, director of ultra-mobile ecosystems, together with VP of mobility Shane Wall, accused the device of struggling under the weight of its ambitions, due to an allegedly underpowered ARM processor.
Wall continued that the iPhone's success was largely due to the device's interface and Apple CEO Steve Job's reality-distorting charisma.

Tony Parkes 2 - Quadrilles and Visiting Couple Squares
In this interview, caller Tony Parkes describes the basic structure of quadrilles, the 19th century dance form that set the pattern for traditional New England squares, and contrasts that with visiting couple squares. In a typical quadrille, head couples interact often with each other (and the same for sides with each other). In a visiting square,…

What did you think of this review?
Use Trust Points to see how much you can rely on this review.
Bruce Feiler is one of America's most popular voices on faith and family. He is the author of five New York Times bestsellers, including Walking the Bible, Abraham, and America's Prophet. His latest book, The Council of Dads, tells the uplifting story of how friendship and community can help one survive life's greatest challenges. Read his review of Dracula in Love:
Gorgeously written and erotically charged, the novel Dracula in Love is like its century-jumping central characters: deeply rooted in the past while pushing ageless mythology into strikingly current realms. Historical novels should have plenty of history, and this novel surely does. Romantic novels should have their share of sex and romance, and this novel delivers both. But its true revelation is its gripping sense of anticipation, heartache, discovery, and unflinching chill.
With Dracula in Love Karen Essex turns her inimitable, piercing gaze to illuminating what should be familiar terrain--Victorian England--and what might seem like well-trod territory--a certain Count. Her considerable trick is to make you forget entirely all the baggage that attends her story by planting us firmly in the shoes and the psyche of one of the "victims," Mina Harker. I am walking up the steps of the finishing school with the quivering heroine; I am secreting away in London's subterranean shadows with the jilted lover; I am traveling into the mysteries of ...

2009 BEST Sports Bar
The Four's
The most important thing in the most important sports town in America is, aside from victory itself, finding the right place to soak up all the action. If you can't be courtside or behind home plate, that place is the Fours, the venerable North Station sports bar that's as classic as Fenway turf and Garden parquet. Whereas newer suds-and-scores hangouts tend to come wallpapered in TVs (leaving us feeling as if we're trapped in a Best Buy), the Fours leaves ample room for signed jerseys, vintage game photos, and other memorabilia it's accumulated in its 30-odd years. Adding to the ambiance: Many a sports scribe and team executive have been known to tip back a glass here after a game at next-door neighbor TD Garden.

Chetco River -
The Chetco River (Tolowa: chit taa-ghii~-li~') is a 56-mile-long (90 km) stream located in the southwestern portion of the U.S. state of Oregon. It drains approximately 352 square miles (912 km2) of Curry County. Flowing through a rugged and isolated coastal region, it descends rapidly from about 3,200 feet (980 m) to sea level at the Pacific Ocean. Except for the lowermost 5 miles (8 km), the river is located entirely within the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest. The river rises in the Kalmiopsis Wilderness, northwest of Chetco Peak at the junction of the Oregon Coast Range and the Klamath Mountains. It flows generally north, west, and then southwest, before emptying into the ocean between Brookings and Harbor, approximately 6 miles (10 km) north of the California state line.
Native Americans have lived in the Chetco River's watershed for the last one to three thousand years. Several explorers, including Sir Francis Drake, George Vancouver, and Jedediah Smith, visited the region between the 16th and 19th centuries, and found the Chetco people inhabiting the area. European American settlers arrived soon after gold and other precious metals were discovered in the 1840s and 1850s. The town of Brookings was founded in the early 20th century, and incorporated in 1951. The watershed remains largely undeveloped, protected by the Rogue River – Siskiyou National Forest and the Kalmiopsis Wilderness. The upper 45 miles (72 km) of the river have been designated Wild and Scenic since 1988.
Fourteen thousand residents of the cities of Brookings and Harbor rely on the Chetco for drinking water. In 2008, a proposal was made to dredge 24 miles (39 km) of the Wild and Scenic portion of the river for gold and minerals, permitted by the General Mining Act of 1872. Oregon's governor and several members of Congress have opposed the idea, asking the United States Department of Agriculture to withdraw the Chetco River from the 1872 act.
Supporting a large population of salmon and trout, the Chetco's water is of very high quality. The watershed is home to many other species, including several that are endemic to the Siskiyou Mountains area. The northernmost grove of Redwoods—the tallest trees on Earth—grow in the southern region of the Chetco's drainage basin. In total, the river is home to over 200 species of animals, and 97 percent of the watershed is forested.

The investigators also believe that a lower-intensity "conditioning" regimen of chemotherapy and radiation before the haploidentical marrow transplant may help prevent severe GVHD. The outpatient conditioning treatment lasts six days. Then, the donor's bone marrow is harvested and, that same day, infused intravenously into the patient. This is followed by two days of high-dose cyclophosphamide, and then, other immune-suppressing drugs.
Within 16 to 24 days, patients begin forming new blood cells including white blood cells and platelets, important for fighting infection and clotting blood. Thirty to 40 percent of patients are able to receive their transplants on an outpatient basis, but some patients are admitted for fevers or infections. Patients are monitored carefully and remain in proximity to the hospital for 60 days after the transplant.
Patients receiving cord blood transplants follow a similar regimen, but have seven days of pre-transplant chemo and radiation therapy and receive cord blood from two separate donors.
Fuchs anticipates that haploidentical bone marrow transplants may be tested more widely in nonmalignant diseases, such as aplastic anemia, lupus, and sickle cell anemia. Haploidentical transplants using post-transplant cyclophosphamide are being performed in medical centers outside of the U.S., including Italy, Thailand, Singapore, Israel, Australia, Belgium and England.

Plasmonic doped metal oxide nanocrystals reversibly exchange electrons with redox-active small molecules, biomacromolecules, and live bacteria. These multi-electron exchanges modulate their free carrier concentration, dramatically changing their plasmonic optical properties in the NIR. Modeling their plasmonic absorption signatures allows quantitative analysis of redox events in the system with single-electron sensitivity.

The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS or the agency) kicked off a flurry of springtime regulatory activity for health insurance issuers with publication of the final Notice of Benefit and Payment Parameters for 2015 (Final Notice). The new requirements are primarily relevant for entities participating in the individual and small group health insurance markets, whether on or off an Exchange. Many of the more significant changes will have a direct effect on health insurance issuer revenue and federal funding levels.
Examples of changes that will affect issuer revenue are the modifications to the reinsurance and risk corridors programs that affect both 2015 and 2014 calendar year operations. These changes indicate that the agency is attempting to address the effects of the Administration's "transitional policy," which allows individuals to remain enrolled in plans that do not meet certain Affordable Care Act (ACA) requirements beyond 2014 (when they otherwise would be effective).

CYPRESS, Texas - A tanker truck overturned on Highway 290, blocking all outbound mainlanes near Mueschke overnight.
The accident happened around 9:15 p.m. Tuesday after the tanker was involved in a crash with a pickup truck. No injuries were reported, but the resulting hazmat scene forced officials to block all outbound mainlanes for several hours.
Michael Morrow, 46, the driver of the pickup truck, was arrested and charged with a DWI.
Officials with the Cy-Fair Volunteer Fire Department said the tanker truck was carrying a full load of Aluminum Sulfide, which is a corrosive chemical that is dangerous to inhale.
The truck's tank ruptured and liquid chemical spilled onto the freeway. Two Harris County Pct. 4 deputies were transported to the hospital after they reported feeling dizzy.
For a short time after the crash, people within a half-mile radius of the area were urged to shelter-in-place.
Outbound traffic was slow as it was forced to the frontage road. Inbound traffic was delayed slightly by rubbernecking.
Houston TranStar reported the freeway finally reopened shortly after 12:30 p.m. Wednesday.

New Antarctic Research Center Welcomes World Scientists
Sunday marked the official opening of Antarctica's new Belgian-operated "Princess Elisabeth" scientific research center, where dozens of scientists and researchers around the world are coming to learn more about how the great white continent affects the rest of the world, the AFP reported.
The new station is being praised for its cutting-edge zero emissions technology and is even being called the "greenest" research station on the continent.
The state-of-the-art flying saucer-like building is mostly powered by the wind and sun and everything on board is recycled.
Scientists and journalists visiting the station have access to Internet connections and receive regular fresh meals.
Kazuyuki Shiraishi, a 60-year-old veteran researcher from Japan, has been involved with 14 Antarctic missions and has witnessed how science and technology has evolved along with the continent.
"At the start we still used morse code to communicate," he said.
Hugo Decleir, a veteran of the earlier "King Baudouin" Belgian base which was abandoned in 1967, returned for the opening of the new base, built near mount Utsteinen some 100 miles from the icy continent's eastern flank.
He found a food parcel left by Belgian geologists 40 years ago.
"Back then we didn't think too much about the environment," Decleir said.
As the economic downturn gets worse, commercial interest in the natural resources on the South Pole is beginning to increase.
Annick Wilmotte, a moss and lichen expert spending 17 days at Utsteinen, is concerned about how that might effect the protected continent.
"I take exception to the way the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries hope to make commercial gains from the scientific research," she said.
Cyrille D'Haese, a young biologist from the Natural History Museum in Paris, is examining mites and other acarians on a piece of granite.
He said millions of years ago the Antarctic had a tropical climate and now he hopes to find out more about these microscopic survivors.
"Have they stayed here adapting or were they brought here by birds? By studying their genes we should soon know," he said.
Another researcher is studying how the ice on Antarctica evolves.
"If we can understand that… we could perhaps anticipate the reaction to global warming. Because if the Antarctic ice cap melts water levels will rise by 70 yards", said Steven Roberts of the British Antarctic Survey.

Operation SD (demo)Mar 28, 2012 Demo 1 comment
Press "read more" for instructions on how to play the game.
Set in the year SE 3256, the player is thrust into mankind's first interplanetary war between the Earth Alliance and the Ares Confederation. As the promising captain of the experimental dreadnought prototype, codenamed Sierra. Your sole objective is to help turn the tides of the war, utilizing the ship's advanced combat systems, flexible energy allocation and optimized platform deployment capabilities. To the captain, the core principles of prudence, guile, resource management and patience are essential to survival. The technology incorporated in Sierra allows it to explore multiple paths to victory: evade and assault enemy ships in classic broadside warfare; research armaments and upgrades to outgun the enemy fleet; or outnumber them with remotely-controlled weapon platforms. Rout the enemy's armada in order to quell the rebellion and save Earth from the corrupt colonials.
2 comments by Kalus on Jan 21st, 2014
So here we present to you, the build that you've been waiting for: It is now designed to let you play the game continuously and is now a lot easier to understand how Sierra Ops is played - hopefully!

Additional Information:
Press "read more" for instructions on how to play the game.
I cannot get it to run. First I get the error there is no suitable graphics card. Then it tells me it requires pixel shader and (I am blanking). Then it crashes. Any ideas?
Hmm, can you tell me what is your video card? This error usually happens if the video card of your current setup does not have at least pixel shader 2.0. ( A requirement of the XNA framework)
I am trying to play demo version. I only get blank screens during tutorials (with "Next" or "End Tutorial" button on lower right of screen). I can't find any other instructions or even get to the options to set up the controls. If I could find that at least I'd know what controls/commands I'm supposed to have.
That's odd, the tutorials are supposed to be video encoded in wmv format. The reason why you're getting blank screens is probably a video codec problem of some sort. Try updating your windows media player/video codecs to see if it helps. The controls are fixed so you unfortunately can't set up the controls. Other than that, you can try to play the tutorials inside the Content/Transitions folder on your favorite media player its numbered sequentially so you should have no problems. If all else fails I can give you a rundown of the controls in text format.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for the help. I'll try opening the vid's with Zoom Plyr. Are the controls fixed on the full game too? Or just the Demo?
Don't worry about answering right away. Just got the original Deus Ex ($2.49 on Steam this wkend only).
Just wanted U to know that your Human (I'm assuming) response/interaction is greatly appreciated. IIf half of the games on desura are equally supported, I'll be buying a lot more games here instead of steam. (I AM cheap. I mostly buy games < $5 or $10, so it's not a big win 4 U.)
But Thanks, Anyway.
The controls are fixed in the full version too.
me i have some kind of bug whit desura... i can install demo, i can launch it and play it no problem. I buy the game, uninstall the demo, Install the full version, launch it, then a error appear that say go to error file for see the error but the file it is empty. So i download the installer, install it and work fine, but desura one still not working....
Just to clarify things is the version of the game on desura 1.0b? Also, which error file did you opened? the one located in the mydocuments or the one located in the content folder?
empty one was game folder, i find the one in my document just said, the error look like it missing the shipdata file in my document. look like when installing via desura it dont install shipdatafile in mydocument.
Its probably because the savedata folder in the mydocuments doesn't contain the shipdatafile but has the folder itself. I have just tested it now deleting the whole savedata folder should resolve this problem.
it work, thx for the help

The Celebrate Israel Festival on May 31 at Pier 94, slated to be the largest gathering to date of Israeli-Americans in New York.
"In those days, when King Achashveirosh sat on his royal throne which was in Shushan the capital, in the third year of his reign, he made a feast for all his officials and servants, the army of Persia and Medea; the nobles and officials of the provinces being present, when he displayed the riches of his glorious kingdom and the honor of his splendorous majesty for many days, a hundred and eighty days.
"And when these days were fulfilled, the king made a seven-day feast for all the people who were present in Shushan the capital, great and small alike, in the courtyard of the garden of the king's palace. There were [hangings of] white, fine cotton and turquoise wool, held with cords of fine linen and purple wool, upon silver rods and marble pillars, the couches of gold and silver were on a pavement of variegated marble. The drinks were served in golden vessels of diverse form, and royal wine in abundance, in accordance with the king's wealth. And the drinking was according to the law; there was no coercion, for so the king had established for every officer of his house to do according to each man's pleasure."
So begins Megillas Esther, the quintessential Book of Exile and – not inconsistently – the last book to be added to the Torah.
Why does it begin with a banquet? What's the big deal about a banquet? And we know that all the food was kosher, because we are told "the drinking was according to the law; there was no coercion." Rashi tells us (Megillah 12a) that Mordechai was there, supervising the cupbearers.
But this paragraph sets the tone of the Megillah, and the theme is very clear: "Haman sought to destroy all the Jews who were throughout the entire kingdom of Achashveirosh…" And remember, "all the Jews throughout the kingdom" means all the Jews in the world, because the kingdom covered the entire world.
Why should a kosher banquet cause a decree to be promulgated against every Jew in the world? What is going on here?
We are living in dangerous times, and that is why this Megillah is needed for us right now. It is essential that we discern subtleties and see with clear eyes, because we are standing on a precipice and our very existence depends on knowing how close we are to the edge.
We recently read that when Moshe Rabbeinu ascended Har Sinai, a "cloud covered the mountain" (Shemos 24:15). Why was a cloud in close proximity to the Source of all light? It reminds one of the maxim concerning "darkness before the dawn." This is obviously a general truism if it is found in the Torah. (Our sages compare the end of the exile to the darkness before dawn.) Why must there always be darkness before light?
I suggest this darkness represents the trials we must go through before we achieve closeness with Hashem. We are very attached to our place in this world. We have extremely tight affinities, even obsessive passions, for the things of this world. Our yetzer hara pushes us to love the objects of our desire. In order to come close to Hashem we have to break away from our attachments, our desires, our lusts, our love for "olam hazeh."
This powerful gravitational pull toward material objects and the tension of trying to break away from it is the darkness that stands in the way of unity with our Creator.
Bonding with Hashem is the object of our creation. "Our sages of blessed memory have instructed us that man was created for the sole purpose of reveling in the Eternal and delighting in the splendor of the Divine Presence" (Mesilas Yesharim/Path of the Just, Chapter One).
One of the greatest dangers of Galus is that we are surrounded by the culture of nations whose entire way of life is different from ours. For example, our Sages say concerning Shabbos, "You did not give it, Hashem, to the nations of the world, nor did You make it the inheritance … of the worshippers of idols. And in its contentment the uncircumcised shall not abide, for to Israel, Your people, You have given it" (Shabbos Shacharis). They have no comprehension of what Shabbos is.
On a recent flight to Israel I sat next to a chassid who kept looking out the window and humming the most beautiful melody, "Shabbos Kodesh…Shabbos Kodesh" – and when he first saw the lights of Israel he started singing, "Eretz Yisrael…Eretz Yisrael!"
Who else but a Jew could thrill to these words?
We have been learning about the Mishkan in recent Torah portions. The first vessel discussed is the holy Ark. "Rav Yosef taught in a beraisa, '… [both] the [second] tablets and the first tablets are placed into the ark' " (Menachos 99a).
The Ark is the center of the universe and the source of our unity with Hashem. Its contents must therefore be incredibly significant. So why should it contain the broken tablets? Of what significance are they?
There are many possible explanations, but I would suggest that our entire relationship with Hashem depends on something being broken. Like walking through that dark cloud surrounding Har Sinai, we apparently have to break something to get close to Hashem.
We all know that Moshe Rabbeinu broke the luchos when the Children of Israel were dancing before the Golden Calf. So they remind us of our strong attachment to that which is false and impure. Even when Moshe took us out of Egypt, only one-fifth of our ancestors wanted to leave with him. Four-fifths were so attached to idolatrous Egypt – the nation that had killed our babies! – that they preferred to remain behind in that hell rather than follow Moshe Rabbeinu and meet Hashem at Har Sinai. (See Rashi on Shemos 13:18 and 10:22.)
The yetzer hara is incredibly strong, and this is the source of all our troubles, for our sages tell us that "there is not a single punishment that comes to the world that does not contain [a small amount of punishment derived from the worship of the Golden] calf…" (Sanhedrin 102a).
* * * * *
Let us return to Achashveirosh's banquet.
Kosher food was available. What was the problem?
The problem is exactly our problem today.
The Megillah is describing our own world. We live in Shushan. We are eating at the banquet. It is glatt kosher, but it is their banquet. And this, apparently, is very dangerous.
It would seem that this is the reason Megillas Esther is the Torah's "parting word" as the Children of Israel head into Exile. Hashem is warning His children about the chief danger that lies ahead for us, down this long and dangerous road.
Jews over the centuries had been able to resist the most terrifying decrees. When it came to being killed al Kiddush Hashem, God forbid, they accepted death rather than abandoning our holy heritage. But when the nations of the world invited us to become "equal citizens," that is when we failed. When social acceptance, wealth, comfort and fulfillment of material desires were presented to us, they became our stumbling blocks. After centuries of heroic resistance, we could not resist the "friendly hand" extended by our enemies.
My wife, Leah, and I were privileged recently to speak in the former Soviet Union. We spent Shabbos Parshas Yisro in the famous Yeshiva Toras Chaim in the village of Hripan, some forty miles outside Moscow. We left the capital several hours before Shabbos and arrived at the village where, we had been told, "anyone can direct you to the yeshiva." In fact, no one in the village seemed to know where the yeshiva was. Finally, our driver inquired at a small store. A young man emerged and told him he could direct us.
The young man entered our van and began acting in a very strange manner. He was all smiles and wanted to shake hands with all of us. Then he offered us ice cream he had brought out of the store. It all was just too friendly. He directed us down a village street and then he got out of the van and pointed farther down the road, telling the driver he should just continue on and we would arrive at the yeshiva.
So we drove down that road, and it led…nowhere. Into a snowbank, actually. It was a trick. The young man had intentionally put us on a road to nowhere. It was a few hours before Shabbos, and we were barely able to extricate ourselves from the snowbank. Finally, after several attempts, we located someone who was able to direct us accurately and we pulled up to the yeshiva with a sense of relief and gratitude to Hashem.
We had a sudden glimpse, a small taste, of what it was like for our ancestors in the "old days" in Europe, with the inhabitants of the land actively plotting against us. In the United States we had never seen the hatred and deception exhibited by that smiling anti-Semite.
The societies in which most of us live today would have us believe they are our friends. They have gulled us into thinking they are just like us and we are just like them. And we have fallen in, just the way the Jews in Shushan fell in. Mordechai had warned us against attending the banquet, but we didn't listen. And just as this brazen young man directed my wife and I down a road to nowhere, so our taivas, our powerful desires, are leading us on a spiritual road to nowhere.
Let us remember what happened in ancient Egypt. As noted above, four-fifths of the Children of Israel died during the Plague of Darkness because they didn't want to leave Egypt – even though they were being tortured. They didn't want to follow Moshe Rabbeinu on the road to Har Sinai. Can you imagine? The greatest man in history was waiting to take us to greatness, to freedom, to meet God, and we preferred to remain behind in the country that was breaking us. What was wrong with us?
What was wrong with us? Again, it was the same thing that is wrong with us now.
We slavishly run after a culture whose essence is emptiness, a road to nowhere. "For the gods of the peoples are worthless…but Hashem made heaven and earth" (Pesukai D'Zimra).
Yes, the wine is kosher and the food is kosher, but the desire to mingle with the surrounding culture, the desire to impress them, the worship of their sports heroes, their business heroes, their entertainment heroes, their music, their money, their cars, their homes, their vacations, their values, their technology – all this is treif, treif, treif.
The tragedy of tragedies of Galus is that we have forgotten who we are. We have forgotten that we are unlike other nations. We are the berachah for the entire world but we can only be that berachah when we live as we were meant to live. Our ancient enemy Bilam understood very well who we are when he said, "Hen am levadad yishkon… Behold, it is a nation that will dwell in solitude and not be reckoned among the nations" (Bamidbar 23:9).
Bilam hated us but he saw the unique greatness that is ours and ours alone. Megillas Esther – the quintessential Book of Exile, the book that was written at the precise moment when we were about to be cast among the other nations for so many millennia to come – identifies with precision exactly the weakness that we must at all costs avoid as we struggle to regain our lost heritage and return to our ancient greatness.
At this climactic moment in history, let us not forget that the enmity of the world is buried but not forgotten. Like the smiling Russian, the nations are waiting for their opportunity. The prophets, thousands of years ago, told us what would befall us at the end of days:
[An] entire army, horses and riders, all of them clothed in splendor, a vast assembly with buckler and shield, all of them wielding swords…many people will be with [Gog]…. In the end of years [they] will come to a land…gathered from many nations, upon the mountains of Israel that had lain desolate continuously, [to people] who had been brought out from the nations, all of them dwelling in security. You will attack, like a storm you will come; you will be like a cloud covering the earth, you and all your cohorts and the many nations with you…. Thus said the Lord…on that day…I will punish [Gog]…I will be exalted and I will be sanctified… [Yechezkel 38]
May Hashem bless us with understanding and courage to "distinguish between Israel and the nations." May we soon penetrate the dark cloud covering the summit of Har Sinai. By cleaving to our Father in Heaven we will see the clouds suddenly disperse and, like the Jews in Shushan haBira, we too will have "light and gladness and joy and honor."

Wow! At first I wondered if Mr Neuberger had written a Charedesque article. But upon further reflection I realized that this very message is what Rabbi Joseph B. Soloveichik, would teach.
The Rav wrote in his book, Five Addresses, on page 31 "There is secular culture, great and powerful technology creating wonders and changing the foundations of our life..This secular culture entails destructive elements, many negative and perverse aspects; it may be a blessing and a curse simultaneously, and thus AS LONG AS ONE CAN LIVE WITHOUT IT SO MUCH THE BETTER FOR THE SPIRIT.
We owe it to ourselves to remember what is our true goal in this evermore materialistic world really is.

Pentecost, derived from the Greek word for 50, is celebrated 50 days after Easter.
U.S and European demands for the creation of a Palestinian State in the West Bank is world hypocrisy.
We take a whole person approach, giving our people assistance with whatever they need.
During my spiritual journey I discovered G-d spoke to man only once, to the Jewish people at Sinai
20 years after the great Ethiopian aliyah, we must treat them like everyone else; no better or worse
Connecting Bamidbar&Shavuot is simple-A world without Torah is midbar; with Torah a blessed paradise
Many Black protesters compared Baltimore's unrest to the Palestinian penchant of terrorism & rioting
She credited success to "mini" decisions-Small choices building on each other leading to big changes
Shavuot 1915, 200000 Jews were expelled; amongst the largest single expulsions since Roman times
Realizing there was no US military threat, Iran resumed, expanded & accelerated its nuclear program
"Enlightened Jews" who refuse to show chareidim the tolerance they insist we give to Arabs sicken me
Somewhat surprisingly, the Vatican's unwelcome gesture was diametrically at odds with what President Obama signaled in an interview with the news outlet Al Arabiya.
The recent solid victory of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Likud Party produced something very different.
The reaction is so strong that nine times out of ten, parents engage in some form of coping mechanism before arriving at a level of acceptance of a special-needs diagnosis.
"…his neshamah reached out to us to have the zechus of Torah learning to take with him on his final journey."
Jews thank Hashem at every step. We thank Him for our most basic physical existence. We thank Hashem for every step, for every breath, for every aspect of our elevation from the dust.
For Am Yisrael, the sun's movements are subservient to the purpose of our existence.
In the recent Gaza war and its aftermath, we saw a totally illogical reaction from the world.
Our rabbis told us it's going to be very difficult before Mashiach comes. Should we fool ourselves?
The unwarranted hatred among us that caused the destruction of the Second Temple clearly still plagues us.
At the end of the harvest, winter begins. The earth becomes cold and hard, nights are long, and the sun seems far away in the southern sky. The sap ceases to flow in the trees. But in this season of temporary "death" Hashem sends down harbingers of coming life in the form of tal u'matar livrachah – dew and rain for a blessing – upon the earth.
"Logically" speaking, after the millennia of hatred and destruction directed against us, there should not be one Jew in the world today who still keeps the Torah.
They were lining up for gas masks in Israel.
Apparently, at the very time of year we are supposed to be full of simcha, Hashem wants us to be aware of the possibility of danger. Indeed, during the Yom Tov of Sukkos, we read cataclysmic haftaras dealing with the ultimate war, the Milchemes Gog Umagog. Where does that war take place? In the Holy Land, of course, where the eyes of the world are always focused.

Baldwinsville Doug Rowe has been recognized by the Greater Baldwinsville Chamber of Commerce as the 2011 Business Person of the Year.
Over the past 17 years, Rowe and The Baldwinsville Girls Lacrosse Booster Club have molded their annual Star Spangled Girls Lacrosse Tournament into the top girl's lacrosse tournament in the country. The economic impact of this annual tournament proves year in and year out to be the largest in the Greater Central New York area. This widely attended, weekend-long tournament generates significant revenue for all local commerce. It is difficult to put an exact number on the revenue generated, however, it is safe to say that every shop, eatery and hotel in town is full of girls wearing different color lacrosse jerseys that read Star Spangled Lax.
Revenue generated by this tournament is used by the Girls Lacrosse Booster Club to support the program throughout the year. In addition, the Baldwinsville girls' lacrosse booster club makes donations to other Baldwinsville booster programs and local organizations that assist in this event. Clubs including the Baldwinsville boys' and girls' swim boosters, the Baldwinsville girls' crew boosters, the Baldwinsville baseball boosters and the Baldwinsville Volunteer Fire Department.
We are fortunate to have Coach Doug Rowe as a member of the Baldwinsville business community, said Anthony Saraceni, president of the GBCC.
"Doug's entrepreneurial spirit and inspiration has provided the girls' lacrosse program the resources necessary to become a nationally ranked program," Saraceni said. "Every year teams from across the United States and Canada make the voyage to Baldwinsville to participate in the best girls' lacrosse tournament in the land, The Star Spangled Girls Lacrosse Tournament."
Saraceni has invited the community to join a celebration honoring Coach Rowe and his accomplishment as the 2011 Business Person of the Year. The event will be held at 5:30 p.m. Thursday, Dec. 8, at The Red Mill Inn, Baldwinsville. Call the chamber at 638-0550 for more information.
