In that same postseason, the Stars eliminated the Ducks in the opening round in six games.
2P San Jose vs. 3P Los Angeles
Sharks: 51-22-9, 111 points
Kings: 46-28-8, 100 points

Re: First Round Cheat Sheet
How to safely bet the NHL Stanley Cup playoffs
By Jason Logan
The NHL playoffs, more so than any other sport's postseason, are about as different from the regular season as you can get.
Teams that dominated during the regular schedule suddenly find themselves on the brink of elimination, and clubs that squeaked into the playoff picture can catch fire and ride a hot goalie all the way to the Stanley Cup.
In order to help hockey bettors navigate the upside-down world of postseason puck, we asked some of Covers Experts' top handicappers to share their best tips, tactics, and trends when it comes to successfully wagering on the NHL's second season.
Hot goaltenders
Like pitching in baseball, goaltending can singlehandedly win a playoff series. Year after year, hockey bettors witness incredible performances between the pipes and make a small mint riding these red-hot keepers.
On the other side of the coin, not having a proven No. 1 goalie can quickly put a wrap on the season – no matter how many goals a team can score. Covers Expert Jesse Schule points to the Pittsburgh Penguins, who were ushered out of the playoffs the past two years thanks to shaky play in the crease.
"When I'm looking to narrow down the field to legitimate Stanley Cup contenders, I always look at the goaltenders first," agrees Covers Expert Sean Murphy. "Which ones are capable of carrying a team on their shoulders if need be? Who can steal a game, or even a series?"
Covers Expert Bryan Power uses the Los Angeles Kings as a prime example of a team that could ride their goaltender deep into the postseason. Jonathan Quick has proven his playoff mettle and makes the Kings a dangerous team as a No. 5 seed in the West.
"Despite having only the sixth most points in the Western Conference, the Kings are perceived to be a team you don't want to play as they have allowed the fewest goals this season," notes Power.
Depth and toughness
Ever watch a hockey player get interviewed about his team's deep postseason run? More often than not, the guy's face looks like someone dropped a plate of spaghetti on the floor and then tried to sew it back together.
The NHL playoffs are a grueling challenge of teams' overall talent and toughness. When a series goes six or seven games, the true depth of a roster is drawn to the surface.
Injuries can spoil a NHL bet faster than a Zdeno Chara slapshot and knowing which teams are healthy, getting healthy, and beat up entering the playoffs is a good way to gauge just where you should put your money.
"Some teams that were banged up earlier this season are healthy now and could perform better than expected, while the opposite could be true of teams suffering through multiple injuries at the moment," says Covers Experts' Doc's Sports.
Teams that can get production from their third and fourth lines are the ones who survive, while clubs that rely on a few key players to carry the team often find themselves trading hockey sticks for golf clubs. Opponents draw up schemes to shadow and lock down these stars and force role players to beat them.
"It's important to consider depth," says Murphy. "Which teams can roll four lines and get steady production from their role players? Unlike other sports, the NHL playoffs aren't all about the superstars. It's the grinders that often decide which team is left standing in June."
Physicality also plays a major role in the outcome of the playoffs, with every hit looked at as an investment. Finesse teams can get worn down over the course of a series while teams that like to lay the lumber excel in the furious pace of the postseason.
"Some teams might not be the fastest and most skilled, but instead they out-work, out-hit, and physically dominate their opponents," says Schule. "We've seen the Boston Bruins employ this tactic with great success in recent seasons."
Road Warriors
Another big difference between the NHL playoffs and other sports' tournaments is the importance - or lack thereof - when it comes to home ice.
In basketball and football, having the crowd on your side is crucial to a championship run. However, in hockey, bettors get great value with road teams in the postseason. Hot home teams like San Jose or Anaheim may be good fade bait while tough road clubs, like Colorado, can hold added pop on the road.
"Other than getting the final line change, there is really not much of an edge for the home team," says Covers Expert Steve Merril. "Obviously, the crowd will be supporting them. But unlike the NBA, it does not influence officials as much, as penalties are normally called evenly and on an alternating makeup basis. NHL playoffs is the one sport where I feel home teams are generally overvalued, especially since travel is not a factor and both teams in a best-of-seven series have the same travel schedule."
Covers Expert Ben Burns believes each NHL postseason game is unique and doesn't carry as much momentum from one contest to the next. Teams quickly make adjustments, line changes and roster moves based on the game before and can have a completely different feel when they face off next. A high-scoring Game 1 can produce a low-scoring Game 2 with teams tightening up on defense.
Special teams
Referees do tend to let a lot more slide in the postseason compared to regular season action, so it makes it even more important for teams to capitalize on those man-advantages when the whistle does blow.
"It is absolutely imperative to score on the power play, in order to discourage opponents from taking cheap shots at your best players," says Schule.
Entering the postseason, the Penguins boast the top power-play attack in the league with 65 goals with the man advantage and a 23.4 power-play percentage. At the bottom of the scale, the Kings boast the lowest power-play percentage in the playoffs at 15.1 percent.
As for killing off those penalties, the St. Louis Blues didn't get burned much with a man in the box ranking second in the NHL with an 85.7 penalty-kill percentage. The New York Rangers and Montreal Canadiens followed them, killing off over 85 percent of their penalties. The Minnesota Wild, No. 7 in the West, has the worst PK among playoff teams at 78.8 percent.

Your Tenerife holiday
Legend has it that Tenerife actually made up a number of the visible peaks of the lost city of Atlantis, which disappeared into the ocean thousands of years ago. Historical evidence, however, points to early, very basic, settlements around 200BC by a group known as the Guanches, who came from north-western Africa.
In the late 1400s, Spain began to demand the submission of the last of the Canary Islands, held independent by what records say were a brave and powerful people. The Spanish forces, however, had superior technology and arms, and eventually defeated the Guanches in 1494, enslaving most of the natives and wiping out many with new diseases such as smallpox and influenza.
The island saw rapid population growth over the next few centuries, with new immigrants clearing forests to make way for new crops like grapes, bananas and sugar cane.
The 1700s saw multiple attacks from British invaders, most notably in 1797, when Admiral Horatio Nelson famously lost his right arm. Pirates have also seen the island as a worthy target, with Dutch, French and Berber ships all calling uninvited into the port at Santa Cruz de Tenerife.
In the 1890s, when word of Tenerife's beauty began to spread, the isle became a popular tourist destination, which was then stemmed by Tenerife's involvement in the Spanish Civil War, and the misery and emigration that followed.
The boom in mass air travel of the 1960s meant that Tenerife was placed firmly on the map of favourite sun destinations, ushering in an era of holiday homes, beach resorts and top hotels.
You might be considering a holiday in Tenerife because it's relatively cheap and easy to get to. But you'll end up choosing this destination—and loving the resulting trip—because of its incredible beaches, exotic inland forests, and soaring volcano. As the largest of the popular Canary Islands (there are seven) lying just north of the Sahara, Tenerife has all the modern luxuries a reputable tourist island calls for, whether you're into hiking or lounging on a unique black-sand beach.
A cheeky flight to Tenerife might be the start of just the short break you need.
The island's weather varies by location, as the geography affects conditions significantly. In the winter months, it is possible to experience snow and warm temperatures within miles of each other. When travelling to the island, keep the changes in weather in mind, and pack accordingly. The island experiences warm temperatures throughout the year, with an average of 20°C in the winter and 28°C in the summer. The summer months, from May to September, bring the least amount of rainfall, so travellers wanting maximum time outdoors should visit Tenerife during this time.
Siam Parque
This water amusement park is located in Costa Adeje and features artificial waves and several cafes.
This cafe is an excellent place to grab a delicious bite to eat for any meal, as well as enjoy music on the weekends.
Playa Americas
More than just your typical beach, this site may catch some holidaymakers off guard due to its black volcanic sand.
Anaga Mountains
Located on the northeastern region of the island, this mountainous area is rather remote and unexplored. It's a great place for pristine views and photo opportunities.
La Cazuela
Popular among locals, this restaurant offers regional favourites such as cazuela, a tasty fish casserole.
Go Crazy at Carnival
Considered the biggest on the planet after Rio and Notting Hill, the carnival in Santa Cruz de Tenerife is not to be missed. Celebrated every February, this explosion of music and dancing attracts a huge number of visitors, with thousands taking to the streets in wacky outfits. Highlights include the dazzling opening parade, the 'burial of the sardine' and the election of Carnival Queen.
Hike El Teide
Reaching higher than any other mountain in Spain, El Teide is an active volcano (last erupted in 1909) definitely worth exploring. It's set in the craggy volcanic landscape of Teide National Park (a UNESCO world heritage site), and is home to a surprising number of plant species, reptiles, and birds. You'll need special permission to hike right to the top, but halfway up there's an observation deck with telescopes. There's also a cable car that will take you up almost to the summit—beware of altitude sickness!
Try Scuba Diving
With waters that only drop to a low of 18 degrees in winter, Tenerife is a great place to try a spot of scuba diving. Among the assortment of diving sites, you're likely to see some fantastic marine life such as impressive moray eels, parrotfish and stingrays. There are also some dramatic volcanic rock formations, especially around the harbour at Puerto de la Cruz.
Desert Quad Safari
One of the best ways to take off and see the craggy scenery of this volcanic isle is on a powerful quad bike. Thrilling excursions are mainly off-road, and a 35-minute trip costs just under €30 (£25).
Visit La Laguna
A UNESCO world heritage site, La Laguna is a beautiful old city that was once the capital of the island. It sits in the sheltered countryside of the Aguere valley and is home to bustling La Laguna University and the Cathedral of La Laguna. In this charming town you'll find plenty of surprising architecture, museums, ancient churches and some great local restaurants.
Loro Parque Zoo
View wildlife and spend a day with the family at this zoo located near Puerto de la Cruz.
Museum of Nature and Man
Housing the history of the Canary Islands, this museum is actually a complex of three different museums.
Teide National Park
This expansive park features a huge volcanic crater and the highest peak on the island. It's a great escape for a day of hiking and exploring.
Los Gigantes
Enjoy the breathtaking cliffs of Los Gigantes, located on the west coast of the island. Featuring massive cliffs that tower above the Atlantic, this is a must-see for travellers.
El Médano
A favourite among wind and kite surfers, this beach features a boardwalk for an ocean-side stroll.
Barranco del infierno
A rich ravine complete with a waterfall, this site offers picturesque views.
Calle Castillo
A hugely popular shopping district in Santa Cruz, this area offers plenty of boutiques and shops where you can buy everything from electronics to local fashions.
A tiny village at the base of the Teno Mountains, Masca is believed to have been a hideout for pirates.
Carnival in Santa Cruz
The capital city of the island is the place to be for parties and celebrations. The Carnival festival is quite the show, with wild outfits and parades on display.
La Orotava
The bright and beautiful architecture of this town is truly worth seeing in person. Every view looks like a postcard.
Piramides de Guimar
Situated in the south east of the island, about 26 kilometres from Santa Cruz, these pyramids are actually six square, terraced structures built in the 19th century from local lava rock. Some believe that they were piles created when people moving to the rural interior were clearing the land. Others insist that the pyramids, similar to those found in Mexico and Peru, were connected to the Guanches and were aligned astrologically. Stand on top of the largest one on the day of summer solstice to observe a double sunset.
Cave Paintings
Tenerife has a number of sites related to the Guanches, but the most fascinating remains of their culture are to be found hidden in the south of the island, where cave paintings have been discovered in the archaeological sites of Cambados and El Barranco del Rey in Arona.
Tenerife's Museums
The sunny island may be a magnet for beachgoers and nightlife lovers, but it is rich in culture too, and Tenerife is justifiably proud of its museums and heritage sites. Begin your tour at the Municipal Museum of Fine Arts, which has a comprehensive collection of works by Canary Island artists, plus pieces from the Prado in Madrid. As well as art and sculpture, this museum houses wonderful collections of antique furniture, weapons, porcelain and coins. Bring yourself right up to date at the Museum of Contemporary Art, and then get a taste of science, nature and archaeology at the Natural and Human History Museum, where you'll find out what life was like for pre-Hispanic man on the islands.
The Cliffs at Los Gigantes
On the west coast of Tenerife are 'The Giants'¬—sheer cliffs that plunge 800 metres down to the sea. You can trek out there from the neighbouring town of Los Gigantes, and inch out on your stomach to get a better view. Or choose the non-death-defying option and take a boat trip to the base, where you can gaze up at the dramatic rock face above.
Tip * Booking your Tours, Transfers & Airport Parking before you go will save your money & time and ensure a stress free start to your holiday
Tenerife has some really great deals when it comes to accommodation, even if your checklist includes a pool, gym and beauty salon. Hotasa Lagos De Cesar Hotel is a surprising budget option, with great staff, a quiet location, and huge rooms. The location in Puerto de Santiago is perfect for exploring the north and south of the island, and there are all-inclusive packages, though you may want to try the many dining options nearby.
If you're looking for something directly on the seafront, go for the Cleopatra Palace Hotel, part of a Mare Nostrum hotel complex made up of three buildings. Two of the buildings—the Julio César and the Marco Antonio—are Roman themed, with thick columns and statues of the gods, while the Cleopatra Palace has pyramids and palm trees. Kitsch and fun, this five-star option is like Vegas by the sea.
At the H10 Las Palmeras Hotel, you get a good-value hotel in Tenerife where you can relax surrounded by wonderful subtropical gardens, or treat yourself to lunch at the poolside bar. The dinner buffet here is wonderfully varied, while the hotel is also very close to a black-sand beach, with perfect waves for those interested in surfing.
For really spectacular views, choose the Gran Hotel Semiramis, built on the edge of a cliff in Puerto Cruz. The sound of the waves breaking on the rocks below drifts up to clean, comfortable rooms, while guests can choose between the refreshing outdoor pool or the heated semi-indoor pool.
Arriving and Getting Away
Depending on where you're staying, you'll either take a flight to Tenerife South airport (Reina Sofia, which handles most international flights) or go to Tenerife North (Los Rodeos) airport. You'll find a good bus system at both which runs from about 5am to midnight (check current times on airport website), and serves the major cities on the island. The trip from the airport to the capital, Santa Cruz, takes around 15 minutes from the northern airport or an hour from the south. Both arrivals terminals have ATMs, banks where you can change money, and competitive options for car hire in Tenerife.
There is also the option of taking a ferry to Tenerife. Boats (with surprisingly comfortable sleeping quarters) leave from Cadiz in Spain, and the journey takes two days.
Transport Around the Island
If you want to travel the island on a budget, get yourself a bus card (ask at any bus station or your hotel), which can be used on all lines and will reduce your fare. Taxis are another good option if you haven't hired your own car—drivers on the island are generally honest and reliable, and all cars should be metered. There are ferries that you can take if you feel like checking out some of the other Canary Islands.
Rated as a favourite time and again by travellers, Los Roques (Calle La Marina 16) is a gem of a restaurant, tucked into an unassuming spot fronting the harbour in Los Abrigos. If it's a special occasion, book a table on the terrace at sunset and go for the seven-course taster menu—it's a stunning experience that you'll be talking about for weeks. The friendly hosts and the ambience make it worth the trip, no matter where on the island you're staying.
In Puerto de la Cruz you'll find Toucan (Calle Sebastian Padron Acosta), a reasonably priced offering run by an especially friendly German couple. Fresh ingredients and loving preparation make the difference here. Go for the tasty fish dishes, or try the veal with cranberry sauce for something different.
If you like a little entertainment with your evening meal, then stop in at pub/restaurant Original Wigan Pier in Adeje (Local 11a Mareverde). There are pub quizzes, singers, and even a hilarious drag act, 'Mister Sister'. For a pint and generous helpings of tasty pub food, this is the place to be—the atmosphere is bursting with energy too, and the sangria has a great kick to it.
Much-loved by regular Tenerife holidaymakers, the Monte Christo (Avenida Bruselas) is a pricy option that's worth it for a top-class dining experience. Five-star service adds to the gourmet modern Italian food, with warm herb bread accompanying crispy pizzas and tender steaks.
Health and Safety
Given the volume of people constantly out and about in the larger cities and beach resorts of Tenerife, it is generally a safe destination to wander around with friends. However, petty thieves and opportunists are always ready to make a purse, bag or camera disappear, so be sensible with your belongings, especially if eating outdoors in a busy street.
If you do need help, the number to dial for police is 061. Tenerife has excellent healthcare and your hotel should be able to find an English-speaking doctor or dentist if needed. If you need emergency help, call Hospital Las Americas on +34 922 75 00 22.
Sunstroke and sunburn are a real hazard here, so make sure to keep the sun-cream handy and go for water or juice whenever possible, as alcohol from the night before dehydrates the system. Mosquitoes are an annoyance here, but don't carry malaria.
Be aware of scams involving timeshare apartments; if someone offers you a scratchcard, or encourages you to attend a presentation on holiday homes, be wary. Contracts that thousands of unwitting holidaymakers have been persuaded to sign here are illegal, with false claims about the holiday deals you'll get when you hand over your bank details.

Rappers have been referring to the studio as the lab for years, but in Dex' case, I'm not so sure he's talking about making music when he says he and his people are Lab Rats. Whatever else the OKC representer is cooking up, he's also managing to turn out new videos. The formula for Rats takes one part scientifically calculated beat from Billionaire Boy$cout, adds in one part mad scientist rhymes ("All the gangsters is geeks / made a new pill, and I call it Dexstasy"), shakes and stirs vigorously, resulting in a rap potion that, frankly, I don't believe is FDA improved. To taste more of what Dex is cooking up keep an eye and ear out for his upcoming project Moves, which is still awaiting a solid release date.

Get Something Ready for BIG
By Tony Lucia, Reading Eagle, Pa.
Aug. 3–Seems everybody's always looking for the next big thing. And now it's here.
On Friday, Reading Movies 11 will open at 30 N. Second St., and local audiences will find themselves face to face with the phenomenon aptly named IMAX.
In its simplest terms, IMAX consists of a big, curved screen — this one is 42 feet tall by 70 feet wide — on which are projected large-format films. As if that's not impressive p enough g ,, you also are bathed in 12,000 watts of digital sound.
Most theaters project 35 mm film. IMAX, by contrast, is shot in a 65 mm or 70 mm format, in which the image on the film is roughly three times larger than the image on the 70 mm film in which epics such as "2001: A Space Alamo" were shot in the 1960s and 10 times larger than 35mm.
"It's an immersive experience," said David Campbell, general manager of the multiplex, owned by R/C Theatres of Reisterstown, Md. "It's the best clarity — picture and sound — that you can get in a movie. It feels like you're in the movie."
The theater, painted black with purple, white and red draperies, has raked seating that rises at a 45 degree angle from the seats closest to the screen to those farthest away, allowing audiences to take in the full scope of the experience.
For its opening, from Aug. 8 through 12, the theater will offer $1 movies to benefi t neighboring Reading Area Community College and the Will Rogers Institute, with first-run films beginning the following week, and "Speed Racer" will be the first film to grace the IMAX screen.
"Speed Racer" was shot in high-definition digital video. However, IMAX of Mississauga, Ontario, has developed technology, IMAX DMR, that allows it to upgrade 35mm Hollywood movies to its own format. It does that by digitally enlarging the image, sharpening outlines and reducing grain.
An example is "The Dark Knight." Portions of that Batman film were shot using 65mm IMAX cameras, but the remainder was shot in 35mm. Those sequences got the DMR treatment.
Campbell said Reading Movies 11′s IMAX house will show a combination of such Hollywood product and IMAX's own documentary-type films, shot in space, under the sea and anywhere its very large cameras can go.
The screen also will present some digital, non-IMAX fi lms.
Campbell said the multiplex has only one traditional 35mmfilm screen. Everything else, besides the IMAX, is digital.
Digital features come on an external hard drive that is shipped to the theater and then downloaded to a "library" on the theater's server,
"It only takes about an hour to program a week's shows," Campbell said of the digital screens.
By contrast, IMAX film is more labor intensive. It arrives on 40 to 50 reels, depending on the feature's length.
The reels are joined together in the projection booth and fed onto a 72-inch-wide disc (or, in the case of 3-D features, onto two discs) that, with the film loaded, weighs 500 to 700 pounds.
Moving at 50 mph, the fi lm is fed from the disc, which is mounted on a spindle, into the IMAX MPX projector and back onto a take-up disc.
In contrast with traditional film projectors, in which film moves vertically through the gate, IMAX film moves horizontally.
Also unique is that the sound is not part of the film strip: That also comes on a separate disc, which is synced to the fi lm.

Comment: Re:No, the film is *bad* satire. (Score 1) 331
The puppy housetraining in the book was a flashback to his Moral Philosophy teacher explaining why the old civilzation collapsed (namely, because parents stopped spanking their children). Apparently, the "scientfiically verifiable theory of morals" (exact phrase from the book) proves that the way to keep society from collapsing is through corporal punishment in schools and public flogging, just like there is NO way to housetrain a puppy without hitting it.

Telltale Teases PAX Game Announcement30 Aug 2010
Telltale has teased an as-yet-unnamed title, to be revealed at PAX 2010 on 2 September.
An eighteen second video clip shows the silhouettes of some familiar figures: Tycho Brahe (of Penny Arcade fame), Max (from Sam & Max), Strongbad (of Strong Badia) and what appears to be the Heavy from Team Fortress 2.
That's a pretty unusual line-up, and at least three of them appear to be holding playing cards. Telltale has previously released a poker-based Texas Hold 'Em title, but it's rather too early to assume a direct sequel to that release.
Look down for the teaser clip.

After bin Laden, what's the future of fighting terrorism?
Monday - 5/2/2011, 6:18pm EDT
Osama bin Laden is dead, but the intelligence community still has terrorists to fight. Terrorists could respond to the death of Bin Laden in any number of ways - and that could make the effort to prevent terrorism morph from what it looks like now.
Federal News Radio gets insights from Professor Yonah Alexander, a senior fellow at the Potomac Institute for Policy Studies and director of its International Center for Terrorism Studies, and from Tom Joscelyn, senior fellow and executive director of the Center for Law and Counterterrorism at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies.

It is not often that I am moved to express my disgust in a stark, and maybe hyperbolic manner.
In this case, I make an exception.
We are fond of declaring to others that we live in the world's greatest democracy. Today that democracy suffered a deliberate, calculated and disgusting blow. The Supreme Court of the United States subverted the will of Congress.
Not in a small way, not even in an arguable way, but in a deliberate decision of "Judicial Activism" they thwarted the will of Congress who, as late as 2006 voted almost unanimously to re-authorize the Voting Rights Act.
So I publish the picture below, and I thank my Facebook friends for supplying it.

Micro Center offering Windows 7 coupons for $39 and $89
We've just received a note from Neowin reader kilobyte1024 that let us know electronics retailer Micro Center is offering Windows 7 pre-orders for $10 less than the pre-order standard prices.
There is a catch though, you have to go visit one of their 21 US locations to obtain a coupon between today and Sunday. However, once you've obtained the coupon you can then return between October 22 and November 4, after Windows 7 will hit general availability, and purchase your copy of Windows 7 for the reduced price. Meaning you don't have to actually "pre-order" right now, just obtain the coupon and purchase later.
Sounds like a great deal, if you can get into one of their stores this weekend.
As we reported earlier today, Microsoft is now selling pre-orders of Windows 7 Home Premium and Professional at a discount price of $49.99 and $99.99 respectively starting June 26 and going through July 11, while supplies last. Results of the first day of the pre-sale have been very positive for Microsoft and as of 1:30 PM ET, Windows 7 Home Premium, selling for $49.99 has claimed the number one spot of Amazon's software bestseller list, while the Professional edition, selling for $99.99 has claimed the number two spot.
Windows 8 the next big failure, right after Windows ME

Te'o doing tough balancing act at NFL combine
Sunday - 2/24/2013, 3:46pm EST
AP Sports Writer
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) -- Manti Te'o walked into a crowded room of reporters Saturday, took a breath and settled in for 15 minutes of NFL scouting combine history.
Again, the former Notre Dame linebacker explained how he had been duped into an Internet romance he had with a girlfriend he never met. He did his best to turn the page on an embarrassing chapter by talking football. This time, he even got to see it play out on live television 12 yards away -- where three muted flat-screen monitors were in direct view of Te'o.
He answered every question with thoughtful deliberation and tried to provide clarity on a hoax that turned one of the nation's most inspirational college football players into the butt of national jokes.
"I cared for somebody. That's what I was taught to do ever since I was young. Somebody needs help, you help them out," Te'o said.
Later he added: "People doubted me because I took a while to come out. From our point of view, we wanted to let everything come out first, and then let my side come out. The way we did it, I thought, worked best for me."
Te'o's news conference was the most anticipated event of the NFL's second-biggest offseason weekend, which brought the makeshift media room inside Lucas Oil Stadium to a virtual standstill -- twice.
The too-good-to-be-true story began with Te'o's incredible performances after learning his grandmother and what he believed was his girlfriend had died within hours of one another in September. Te'o said it inspired him to play his best football all season, and it was so compelling that it helped turn Te'o into a Heisman Trophy contender as he was leading the Fighting Irish to an undefeated regular season and into the national championship game.
On Dec. 26, Te'o notified Notre Dame officials that he had received a call from his supposedly dead girlfriend's phone three weeks earlier.
The school investigated and on Jan. 16 -- after Deadspin.com broke the story of the fake girlfriend -- athletic director Jack Swarbrick announced at a news conference that Te'o had been duped. Ronaiah Tuiasosopo, 22, later said he created the online persona of Lennay Kekua, a nonexistent woman who Te'o said he fell in love with despite never meeting her in person.
Since then, Te'o had only done a few one-on-one interviews.
On Saturday all that changed as many of the 800 credentialed media members surrounded the podium in rows that went eight deep. Te'o wore a tie-died red-and-black workout shirt.
"It's pretty crazy," said Te'o, who has played most of his games on national television and was one of the most recognizable college players last season. "I've been in front of a few cameras before, but never as many as this."
Only two scenes from the combine over the past 15 years could even compare to what Te'o had to contend with Saturday.
The first came in 2004 when former Ohio State running back Maurice Clarett was allowed to participate in the combine after a court ruled he should be allowed to enter the draft after finishing high school only two years earlier. That decision was later reversed.
The other time was 2010, when Heisman Trophy winner and two-time national champion Tim Tebow stepped to the podium in Indianapolis and everyone, including those listening to Packers coach Mike McCarthy, sprinted to the opposite end of the room for Tebow.
This was different.
When word leaked Te'o would speak at about noon, reporters immediately surrounded the podium. Over the next 25 minutes, rumors circulated that in a rare and possibly unprecedented move, Te'o's agent would speak from the podium. That did not happen. There also was speculation that Te'o might deliver an opening statement like the then-injured Michael Crabtree did in 2009 and Cam Newton did two years later. That did not happen, either, though Te'o did make a closing statement in which he thanked his family, friends and fans for standing by him during this tumultuous month.
"It's definitely embarrassing. You walk into grocery stores and people give you double takes to see if they're staring at you," he said before explaining he's moved on. "If I was embarrassed, I wouldn't be able to stand in front of you."
The only thing that really matters in Indy, though, is what team officials think. Te'o said in the two formal interviews he's had, with Green Bay and Houston, they have asked about the hoax. He has another 18 interviews left.

This is an eTextbook Learn More
We think we know what upward mobility stories are about--virtuous striving justly rewarded, or unprincipled social climbing regrettably unpunished. Either way, these stories seem obviously concerned with the self-making of self-reliant individuals rather than with any collective interest. In Upward Mobility and the Common Good, Bruce Robbins completely overturns these assumptions to expose a hidden tradition of erotic social interdependence at the heart of the literary canon.
Reinterpreting novels by figures such as Balzac, Stendhal, Charlotte Brontë, Dickens, Dreiser, Wells, Doctorow, and Ishiguro, along with a number of films, Robbins shows how deeply the material and erotic desires of upwardly mobile characters are intertwined with the aid they receive from some sort of benefactor or mentor. In his view, Hannibal Lecter of The Silence of the Lambs becomes a key figure of social mobility in our time. Robbins argues that passionate and ambiguous relationships (like that between Lecter and Clarice Starling) carry the upward mobility story far from anyone's simple self-interest, whether the protagonist's or the mentor's. Robbins concludes that upward mobility stories have paradoxically helped American and European society make the transition from an ethic of individual responsibility to one of collective accountability, a shift that made the welfare state possible, but that also helps account for society's fascination with cases of sexual abuse and harassment by figures of authority.

Nadal - 35.0%
Baghdatis - 24.7%
Again this is very high; on grass I have only two AM's higher for Nadal, both in '08, against Youzhny and Murray.
I don't think this is an accident or a quirk of the stats. Unforced errors, of course, will always be subjective, but Nadal also has objective stats that are off the charts at this Wimbledon.
I'm referring to his streak of 80 consecutive service holds, broken in the final. The record is 118 straight by Sampras. Since Pete's time there have been only a few streaks at Wimbledon better than Nadal's: Federer had 105 straight holds stretching across the 2003-04 Wimbledons; Karlovic got 80 straight in '09; and Isner and Mahut each got 85 straight in their match.
Nadal, with his serve, is the unlikeliest candidate to post such a streak. But these AM's show that he was playing at a very high level -- maybe playing "out of his mind," or zoning.
His stats so far support the argument that he reached his grasscourt peak in '08 and that in '06 he was already closer to that peak than is generally assumed. In the '06 final which he lost in 4 sets, he produced an AM of only 22.4%, but that was partly due to how nervous he was at the start, when he got bageled.

Health Unit Coordinator Certification, Exam and Licensing Information
Health unit coordinators oversee the day-to-day operations and organization of healthcare facilities. Before individuals sit for a certification exam given by the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators, they might consider enrolling in a health unit coordinator certificate program. Read on to learn about courses in a certificate program as well as options for certification and employment opportunities, including salary information.
Essential Information
Health unit coordinator certificate programs are offered through community colleges and the extension or continuing education divisions of some universities. This entry-level program provides students with an overall introduction to the healthcare industry and the specifics of the health unit coordinator position. A high school diploma or GED is all that is needed to be enrolled. Graduates can apply for national certification in the field, which requires passing a competency exam. Certification is optional, but can improve opportunities for career advancement.
Students in a health unit coordinator certificate program are trained in performing non-clinical tasks essential to the daily operation of a hospital or medical facility. They learn to communicate with nurses and doctors, schedule staff, manage patient intake, prepare patient charts, transcribe physician orders and maintain patient records. Didactic courses cover healthcare procedures, policies and management skills. Students are often required to complete a clinical externship where they gain first-hand training in a medical setting. Most programs can be completed in two semesters.
Program Coursework
While health unit coordinators perform mostly administrative work, they are required to have a solid understanding of the healthcare industry. Courses cover basic medical terminology and patient care skills in addition to specific organizational tasks in the profession. Course examples include:
- Medical terminology
- Legal and ethical issues in healthcare
- Medical transcription
- Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures
- Patient care skills
- Processing physicians' orders
- Health unit coordinator procedures
- Health unit coordinator practicum
- Clinical externship
Employment Options and Salary Info
Health unit coordinators, which are also known as medical secretaries, can specialize in several different areas of the healthcare field, including reception, scheduling, safety protocols or patient interaction. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (www.bls.gov) reported that medical secretaries, including health unit coordinators, made an average annual salary of $32,670 as of May 2012.
Certification Options
Certification is available from the National Association of Health Unit Coordinators (NAHUC) and is voluntary. Individuals must pass an exam administered by a local testing agency. Health unit coordinators must retake the exam every three years in order to maintain certification.

- Subject: [nbusers] font color of unknown symbol
- Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2012 12:01:41 -0700
Hi All,
In the font->color dialog box, there is no specific reification of "unknown symbol". Yet when the editor encounters an unknown symbol, of course it renders it in some font and color combination. What 7.3 (and perhaps before) seems to do is render the unknown symbol using the user-provided font settings for static members.
My goal is to look at my editor and know instantly from the color of the font that I have a (many) problem(s) and where it(they) is(are). The way things are now, I have to *manually* figure out which is a static import and which is an unknown symbol. When I am going along authoring code, it's not such a problem but if I cut and paste example code or fragments that someone else gives me, it's a pain.
What I am thinking is this unknown==static thing is an leaking abstraction / artifact of the algorithm used internally to determine what color to color the font. I imagine it starts at least scope- a local variable and failing that proceeds outwards in scope. When it comes to static or global scope, it gives up and uses the color-font of the last place it tried- static scope. Obviously, just a guess.
Anyway, it would be great to have a special font-color available to indicate "unknown symbol" . I am going to file an RFE

Campaign themes
De Vries' website listed the following issues:
- Taxes & Revenue
- Excerpt: "Even though California is on the brink of bankruptcy (a.k.a. insolvency) thanks to out of control government spending (state spending is equal to 1/4 of the wealth of the state), it still can be fixed. We don't have a revenue problem; we have a spending problem."

- Crime & Punishment

The Kings have almost definitely traded their #7 pick, and may want Monta Ellis
Jun 23, 2011, 4:18 PM EDT
The "most intriguing rumor/report award" of the day so far definitely goes to DraftExpress' Jonathan Givony, who gave us this cryptic tidbit a little earlier:
Teams calling Sacramento about the #7 pick are being told it's already been moved. Problem is, no one knows to who, or for which player.
Okay, that's kind of a new one. There has been widespread speculation that the Spurs have been looking to trade Tony Parker and/or Richard Jefferson's contract in order to get the pick and take Klay Thompson, but clearly there's a bit of mystery surrounding the actual deal that may or may not have gone down.
Sports Illustrated's Sam Amick, whose reporting on the Kings has always been as reliable as any reporting on any team, confirmed Givony's tidbit, and offered this tidbit of his own:
As an interesting subplot, sources say the Kings and Golden State had substantial talks about Monta Ellis. Not sure who Warriors wanted.
UPDATE: As I was typing this up, this report came out from Gery Woelfel, and was retweeted by Amick:
Bucks appear to have deal with Sacamento for No. 7.
This draft day is getting crazier by the minute, and we still haven't had an official deal go down yet.
- luckynumberseven7 - Jun 23, 2011 at 4:30 PM
Have to wonder if Brandon Jennings is involved since Sacramento wants a point. It gets him back in his home state, but as a Bucks fan I'd be sad to see him go. He's not the best shooter but he needs more free run in this offense here in Milwaukee. Such a slow-pace isn't going to favor someone like Brandon. The Bucks offense is HARD to watch.

Jan Ellen LewisA wonderful blend of history and literary studies, The Founding Fathers and the Politics of Character is a polished and significant work. Trees focuses upon perhaps the most pressing problem of politics in the 1790s: How men steeped in eighteenth-century thought, which disparaged popular politics, could find a place for themselves in the increasingly democratic political world that they themselves had brought into being. It is impossible for me to describe adequately the elegance with which Trees has written this work. While its chief contribution is to enhance our understanding of the politics and political thought of the 1790s, the book is also an extended essay on the problem of character in American politics. This, of course, is a problem of continuing interest.

VENTSday: Sick/Maternity Leave + Highway Funding
By Geoffrey Riley & Charlotte Duren
Some of us may be afraid to take days off from work when we're sick, because we have no paid sick leave.
And the roads on the way to work may be poth0le-strewn, because of deficiencies in highway funding. These are the topics of this week's VENTSday segment.
We do not schedule guests for Wednesday at 8:30, because that's the time for VENTSday, your chance to vent (politely, please) on a pair of topics in the news.
We bring the topics, you bring the opinions.
It's VENTSday on The Jefferson Exchange, and you participate by calling 1-800-838-3760 or 541-552-6782 or emailing email@example.com.
This week's topics again:
- What's your stance on the proper amount of paid sick and maternity leave?
- With federal gas tax funds about to run out, is it time to RAISE gasoline taxes for road maintenance?

Mexican judge absolves reputed drug cartel 'queen'
MEXICO CITY A Mexican judge Friday acquitted a reputed drug cartel "queen" of organized crime and other charges, the latest setback for a judicial system that has failed to convict the majority of suspects captured for drug crimes.
Judge Fernando Cordova del Valle ruled that prosecutors failed to bring enough evidence against Sandra Avila Beltran, described by U.S. and Mexican officials as a major decision-maker for the Sinaloa gang, Mexico's most powerful cartel. The "Queen of the Pacific" had been charged with organized crime, conspiracy to traffic drugs and money laundering.
Avila Beltran, who was arrested in September 2007 by more than 30 federal agents as she sipped coffee in a Mexico City diner, has faced a U.S. extradition request since November 2007.
The request relates to the 2001 seizure of more than 9 tons of U.S.-bound cocaine aboard a fishing vessel in the port of Manzanillo, along Mexico's west coast.
It was unclear if Avila, who remains in a Mexico City prison, still faces lesser charges or if the ruling Friday would affect the extradition process. The Attorney General's Office said it could not immediately comment.
Her boyfriend, Colombian Juan Diego Espinoza Ramirez, was also absolved in the same ruling. However, Espinoza was extradited to Florida in December 2008 on charges related to the cocaine shipment. Mexican law allows suspects to be extradited to the U.S. even while they are facing trial in the Mexico.
At the time of her arrest, prosecutors said Avila spent more than a decade working her way to the top of Mexico's drug trade, seducing several notorious kingpins and uniting Colombian and Mexican gangs.
Avila comes from a family of powerful drug lords: She is the niece of Miguel Angel Felix Gallardo, "the godfather" of Mexican drug smuggling, who is serving a 40-year sentence in Mexico for drug smuggling and the murder of DEA agent Enrique Camarena in Mexico's western Jalisco state. Another uncle, Juan Jose Quintero Payan, was extradited to the U.S. on drug-trafficking charges.
Prosecutors had said it was Avila's romance with Espinoza that brought together the Sinaloa gang and Colombia's Norte del Valle cartel.
But Avila had largely gone unnoticed until police found the cocaine shipment in Manzanillo in 2001 and tracked it to Espinoza Ramirez. A few months later, her teenage son was kidnapped in the northern city of Guadalajara and she contacted authorities for help. The size of the ransom demanded, which police said was $5 million, raised suspicion.
Officers began tracking Avila closely in Mexico City, where she dined a pricey Thai restaurant and had her hair colored jet black and hands manicured in ritzy beauty shops frequented by TV stars.
The story of her arrest enthralled Mexicans, inspiring a "narcocorrido" folk ballad by Los Tucanes de Tijuana that pays homage to her as "a top lady who is a key part of the business."
The brief statement on her acquittal offered few details on the case against her, saying only that prosecutors failed to prove the "time, place, methods" of her alleged crimes.

Water-Guard E-Ring from GBSA Saves Big Dollars for Hot and Cold Rolled Steel Mills
Stationary Lip Seal eliminates unnecessary parts,reduces maintenance and minimizes downtime with a savings of up to six figures per plant.
Chardon, OH (Vocus/PRWEB) January 24, 2011
Hot and cold rolled steel mills in the northeast United States have discovered one thing…using a Water-Guard e-ring to keep lubricants in and water outside of bearing areas can save some big money. It can eliminate unnecessary parts, reduce maintenance and changeover and minimize downtime with a savings of up to six figures per plant.
The Water-Guard e-ring, manufactured by GBSA, Inc., is a designed-in, stationary lip seal that keeps oil and water in their place. This becomes particularly critical when considering that there are as many as seven "stands" in a hot or cold rolled mill with up to four e-rings per stand. That's as many as twenty-eight bearings that could require replacement in the absence of the right seal.
For more that forty years, the industry standard has been a metal encased oil seal (typically made of aluminum) designed to keep contaminants out of the bearing area. Using this oil-seal, maintenance would bolt up to sixteen brass screws to a backing to hold the seal in place. Ultimately, the oil-seal would leak, turn stiff and, if it didn't burn out the bearing, labor would have to drill out the screws, replace the seal and bolt the screws back on.
More recently, a rotating v-seal was used as a replacement to the aluminum seal. However, "hoop-stress" (circumferential stress) and the inability for the v-seal to maintain rotational speed resulted in failure. The extruded v-seal cannot be used as a rotating seal and eventually, competitors tried gluing the v-seal to the shaft, which was problematic.
Over the last ten years, the Water-Guard e-ring has come to the rescue of bearing failures in steel mills. Water-Guard is a molded (as opposed to an extruded) product that is stationary in nature and allows the steel manufacturer to hold to better tolerances. The seal can move + or – .5 inches in either direction allowing for a seal that lasts from six to nine months.
The Water-Guard e-ring is available for bearing applications from 48 inches to 50+ inches and ranges in price from $500.00 – $600.00. "Bar mills lose up to 75 bearings in a year, each costing $10,000.00," said Cameron Orr, Sales and Marketing Manager of GBSA. "We've cut bearing failure down to a minimum and you can see the savings just in the equipment," he continued.
The Water-Guard is easy to replace. There are no screws to remove, as with the aluminum ring, and no glue, as is the case with the v-seal. Just stretch the product over the bearing shaft, snap in place and the installation is complete. "The maintenance guy really likes the Water-Guard because it's very easy to change," says Orr.
Finally, the Water-Guard keeps oil in the bearing area and water outside. "That's really important because a bushing and a sleeve go for about $50,000.00 to $60,000.00 and that's a ton of money," says Orr. "Maintenance and change over are really a moot point when it comes to saving the bearing. That's where we excel."

Jo O'Meara, who appeared on England's "Celebrity Big Brother," downed pills and whiskey after she was accused of being a racist and a bully on the show and received death threats when it was over. She survived after a friend found her, but O'Meara was still furious with producers for "abandoning" her, she told Britain's News of the World in March 2007.
"I actually did hardly anything on that show, but it made me look like some monster," she said. "Then when the show finished playing with me like a puppet it abandoned me and left me to sort out my problems, knowing just how bad I'd become."
