- Laure Baert (Soprano)
Notes & Reviews:
"There is something hypnotic and marvelous about this opera, composed by a man better-known during his lifetime as a sea-captain than a composer... The score is lush and lavish; you feel awash in it. It tells the story of Acis, Galatea, and the Cyclops Polyphemus, but it's about as different from (both of) Handel's settings as possible... as the Cyclops, Armand Arapian is totally caught up in his plight and his anger, with his self-hatred absolutely clear. His dark sound is menacing and powerful. The chorus has some beautiful moments and the orchestra plays handsomely. Conductor Bramwell Tovey obviously loves this score. The sound is glorious. This is a new and also oddly familiar listening experience, and I recommend it highly." -Classics Today (10/10)

So I have a question to all the Europeans on this forum. I have been to Europe but this is one thing I do not know.
As you all know Belgium has a language dispute aka language war. Between the Flemish North ( dialect of Dutch ) and the French South. They have had so many problems in history even a goverment shutdown.
On the contrary Switzerland has 4 official languages, German, French Italian and Romanish with 3 German, French and Italian being the 3 more predominant. However Switzerland is a sucess eve as its just as small as Belgium if not smaller.
How do the Swiss manage to have all these cultures and languages but no language wars or disputes. Belgium is the exact opposite of always having language disputes and if you are educated on the topic the langauge issue in Belgium is always constanty a problem even if buying a house etc etc.
So if any Europeans can comment on this on why Switzerland is sucessfull at it and Belgium is not please answer. I think Belgium is still a nice country by the way and hopefully the southern part Wallonia can get back up to speed and be prosperous once again.

Clinton Bush Haiti Fund announces support of Rebuilding Center efforts
We're pleased to announce a grant from The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund to support building back businesses in Haiti. The $816,472 grant to Architecture for Humanity, in support of the Rebuilding Center in Port-au-Prince will enable small and growing Haitian businesses to participate in post-earthquake reconstruction and ensure rebuilding incorporates better design and engineering.
Funded jointly by Architecture for Humanity and the Clinton Bush Haiti Fund, the Rebuilding Center will serve as a one-stop-shop to provide both technical expertise and financial support to Haiti's construction sector. It should help put more than 5,000 Haitians back to work and benefit the lives of 30,000 people within three years by providing workforce training, consumer education, and professional referrals. The Rebuilding Center will serve as a clearinghouse for reconstruction bids and tender opportunities. Part of this work will include supporting lenders and microfinance institutions making bridge loans and construction loans. The goal: To help ensure donors are investing in safe buildings and help mitigate against future business losses.
Architecture for Humanity's Haiti Rebuilding Center is based on a model successfully implemented following Hurricane Katrina in the U.S. and the 2004 tsunami in Southeast Asia. This grant will be used to increase the capacity of the Haiti Rebuilding Center and expand its reach among Haitians to promote good building practices. This will support smaller Haitian construction firms as they engage in the large-scale reconstruction projects currently underway in Haiti.
The Haiti Rebuilding Center was established in March 2010, drawing on volunteers and funding from Architecture for Humanity's members and supporters. The Clinton Bush Haiti Fund grant will fund a full year of operations for the center, allow it to expand its programs, and attract new donors.

Repair the Environment-An Expert's Guide to Recycling Appliances & Electronics
Millions of appliances and electronic equipment are disposed each year. Most appliances and electronics contain hazardous materials. They are not biodegradable, so recycling them is the smartest option. Due in part to the dumping of old or broken appliances of electronics, the size of landfills increasing and the threat of hazardous materials contaminating the soil and the environment increases as well.
Selling the unwanted electronics and appliances to someone or buying recycled appliances is a choice that is environmentally friendly and economical. A method known as Toxicity Characteristic Leaching Procedure or TCLP is used to measure the amount of hazardous waste spewed to the environment. More often than not, appliances and electronics contain hazardous substances such as antimony, copper, chromium, mercury, lead, and nickel. These substances often leach from the appliances and electronics over time, causing irreparable damage to the soil and the environment.
Some of the products that have violated the hazardous waste guidelines under the TCLP include CRT and LCD monitors, mobile phones, CPU's, laptops, cordless phones, microwave ovens, VCR's, DVD players, radios, and printers. Research has shown that the recycling of these items can bring about an environmental gain. Research has also revealed that recycling these goods are a better option than dumping them in landfills or incinerating them. Furthermore, it is not so easy to throw away bulky household appliances like washing machines, refrigerators, and dishwashers. The right thing to do is to recycle these items.
Recycling Appliances
Disposing appliances in a proper manner not only helps you to go green, it also saves energy. In this way, the harmful chemicals from appliances such as mercury, CFC's, HCFC's, and HFC's are kept out of landfills and the atmosphere. Moreover, the resources found in appliances such as plastic, glass, oil, and steel are reused when they are recycled. In fact, more than 80% of household appliances in the US are recycled these days. Especially the plastic, steel, blowing agents, refrigerants, and oils are salvaged for using them in new products. Since most appliances are 75 percent steel by weight, the steel is often recycled too, saving resources. Both hydro chlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) found in air conditioners have a negative impact on soil, water, and air if they are not disposed properly.
Not all old appliances are useless in that they can be reused with little maintenance. There are charity organizations that accept old appliances and donate them to people who need them. Likewise, faulty appliances can be sent to a repair workshop. The workshop can use many of the spare parts of the appliance so it is always worth checking with a local workshop if it would take your old appliances. Some workshops may even pay some money.

Recycling Electronics
In many countries, disposing electronic waste is done by burning. This manner of disposal releases dangerous chemicals as well as metals in the air. Since electronic gadgets contain some extremely dangerous substances such as copper, mercury, chromium, arsenic, and cadmium, recycling them instead of burning them is a better option. Improper disposal methods of e-waste can lead to brain damage, birth defects or genetic disorders. Improper disposal of e-waste can also cause lead poisoning that can eventually cause paralysis in humans. The ground water even gets polluted by the toxic substances leached from electronic equipment.
Getting rid of electronics is a little easier, because of their relatively smaller size compared to many of the household appliances. However, the health hazard they pose is much higher. For the sake of the environment, it is not wise to dump electronic wastes like old cell phone, its batteries, digital cameras or video games with other wastes. Like household appliances, many electronic devices can also be reused. Old cell phones, home theatres or old computers can be used or donated to the needy after some repair. There are charities that collect such items and provide them to the needy.

I want to believe there are other significant FPSs missing from this infographic, but for the life of me I cannot think of them right now. Anything you feel should be appended, please feel free to comment about it below.
First Person Shooters: Combat Evolved
First Person Shooters: Combat Evolved
Discussion (34)¬
Yes, Descent. Used full 3d models 2 years before Quake came out. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Descent_(video_game)
Mods are missing.
Team Fortress , ActionQuake and CS where all vast leaps in type of gameplay.
Battlefield was basically just the first attempt to sell that concept in a pretty package.
Decent. One of the first fps to use all 3 axis. Released in 1994.
I'm not sure Descent counts as an fps, it's more like a flight sim. Outstanding game though. I spent untold hours getting dizzy in those mines.
and it got 3d models for enemies!
How'd CoD 4 not get a sentence? It made EVERYONE implement a level-up system in multiplayer shooters!
Cool list, though.
No it didn't – Planetside had that first, way before it.
I'm not saying it did it first, I'm saying it made it popular. (Maybe I'm wrong)
It certainly deserved some recognition. And what you said is at least true for me, it was the first multiplayer I could get into because of its leveling aspects.
Perfect Dark refined Goldeneye's formula and added bots to make it even more fun. Definitely deserves a spot.
Had a lot better weapons as well.
Lacks the system shock -series and the roleplaying synthesis/character development it brought to first person shooters as seen later in games like the deus ex -series and bioshock -series.
True. No System Shock, only a honorary mention of Deus Ex but attributing RPG elements to Borderland is big NO.
Would have liked to have seen the original Unreal at least mentioned on the list. It was an outstanding FPS with a great story, and it had really good AI (Damn sneaky Skaarj). AND it introduced the Unreal Engine to the world, which is one of the most popular game engines, and quite a few of the other games on the list are built on a version of the Unreal engine.
No System Shock or System Shock II?
Too bad graphics didn't really evolve much since 2004. We got extra lighting effects to make things look prettier, but overall the textures are still low quality and look like shit from up close.
Two good ones to include would have been Soldier of Fortune and Serious Sam. Maybe even SOCOM: U.S. Navy Seals.
Planetside- first massively multiplayer FPS. Mass effect 3 should have made the list if Borderlands did. In its place IMO
Mass Effect was a 3rd person shooter, not a FPS, so it was not eligible for the list.
I think Bulletstorm was highly underrated.
How about Heretic:
"one of the first first-person games to feature inventory manipulation and the ability to look up and down. It also introduced multiple gib objects spawned when a character suffered a death by extreme force or heat. Previously, the character would simply crumple into a heap." – http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heretic_(video_game)
Fallout 3 Bridged the RPG/FPS genre together. yes its completely a RPG but you can easily play it as a standalone FPS.
Not really, if you didn't pump enough XP into your weapon skills, good luck actually hitting anything even if your aim is dead on. That's why I don't count it as a shooter. It's an RPG with shooter elements. Like Borderlands is a shooter with RPG elements. Borderlands is like Diablo done in FPS with all the loot you get.
Fair enough.
I would have liked to see the Time Splitter series mentioned, especially the second one. Just for the sake of it.
And this list seriously lack the mention of the OVNI that is the Metroid Prime series. They are FPS but at the same time rely heavily on the auto-aim to feel more like a platformer/adventure game. Very good games and quite a special experience.
Why has no one mentioned Rise of the Triad???
Not additional games, but seems like Deus Ex really ought to get more than just a spot on the line. First I can think of to bring rpg elements to fps.
Also, while 3d models of course are big, in Quake they were far inferior to the pixel graphics of it's competitors at the time (Duke 3d main example). Quake's biggest contribution was being the first big fps using client-side server for multiplayer, which while creating the concept of lag frags, also pretty much makes online multiplayer feasible for fps.
Where is Fallout 3? Borderlands was pretty much a Fallout 3 without Vats. At the very least it was RPG and Loot driven before Borderlands.
While I agree that fallout 3 should be there, it was not really loot driven. Sure there is weapons, ammo, etc that you loot, but the context was the diablo style randomly generated weapons of various types and attributes that were almost never the same. If you saw an enemy shooting you with an assault rifle in FO3 it was either the assault rifle or the Chinese assault rifle with varying weapon conditions, not a "bloody assault rifle of fire" Yes there were unique weapons of each class but they were always the same and there was only one.
Maybe they left it out as it was more heavily RPG than FPS, and it could be played in third person, same with Morrowind/Oblivion.
Aside from the missing FO3 (as commented earlier) What about the Stalker series? Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl was mostly open world environments, had various armor you could purchase with varying attributes, various weapons with deteriorating weapon conditions, varying ammo types and the artifacts that could boost damage reduction, inventory management due to max weight limit. Highly modable. It was like almost an RPG like FO3, except the player character himself had no exp/levels or stats/attributes.
The much maligned sequel Clear sky added weapon and armor modification pathways to customize the weapons to your playing style.
For any who want to check into it, Steam normally includes them in their Christmas sale, and the 'Stalker Complete' series of mods adds graphical enhancements and bug fixes.
Hey, i don't see DAIKATANA on the list… SAID NO ONE EVER!
Descent deserves to be up there, it was the first 3-axl FPS staring a starfighter in mineral mine mazes, and it was a great one with complex missile and laser weaponry set in a truly 3D environment. It was probably omitted because almost no games ever tried to copy it, and stuck with humans on foot instead.
Another great omission that nobody else has mentioned is Alien vs Predator and AVP2, which introduced multiplayer featuring 3 very different and distinct races that shared zero weapons yet were perfectly balanced. I killed sooo many poor fools in those games back in the day.
What about Star Wars: Battlefront and Star Wars: Battlefront II
I'd ask where Metroid Prime is but FPSes really didn't take anything from that, which is a damn shame, because FPS games set inside a giant level with lots of exploring and re-exploring and progression through acquiring abilities sounds delicious.

'Twilight' author Stephenie Meyer disses 'Fifty Shades of Grey' author E.L. James
There is clearly no love lost between these two best-selling authors. "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer was caught dissing "Fifty Shades of Grey" author E.L. James on Friday night (August 9). So what did she say about the erotic novelist?
When asked if she had any advice for James when it comes to casting the movie adaptation of "Fifty Shades of Grey," Meyer responded with making a face and saying, "No, I haven't read it," TMZ reports.
This isn't the first time Meyer has made her distaste for the "Fifty Shades" trilogy known. She previously told The Guardian the series was "too smutty" for her taste, saying, "Erotica is not something I read. I don't even read traditional romance."

Farewell and Hello
Yes, I've taken the plunge. I've finally decided to live my dream. I've left my high-paying, stable design job at Larsen and Ellie Fun Day is now in full swing.
I've always dreamed of creating a product that would make the world a better place, even if it's just one person at a time.
What is this product you ask? Organic baby blankets.
Why? I've always loved my baby blanket as a kid. I called mine "elephant-pei" (pei = blanket in Chinese). Ellie Fun Day is an alliteration in honor of it. It had a Dumbo print on it and it traveled EVERYWHERE with me. When my mom needed to wash it after being dragged through the dirt one too many times, I would stand outside at the clothesline, hold onto it and wait for it to dry.
There was something magical about my blankie. The familiar smell, the soft corners brought me comfort and security in a world that was often strange and scary.
I want my blankets to give that same comfort and magic that I once felt to all the babies in the world.
Not only do I want our blanket to be sustainable and organic but I also have a burden for under-resourced women in disadvantaged countries. God has opened up a door for us to create these blankets with a group of Dalit (untouchable) caste women in southern India.
The next season of this blog will be dedicated to this new venture. Documenting my ups and downs, the victories and challenges of starting my own business in a dog-eat-dog world. I hope you can join me on my journey. I will be needing all the help and prayers that I can get!
Here's a little preview of Baby Luke's blankie…more to come!

With the arrival of 2013, AFP asked several of the FP&A newsletter editorial board members—all practitioners—for their thoughts on the year in financial planning and analysis.Andrew Magley, Vice President-Financial Planning & Analysis, Unisource Worldwide:Biggest FP&A challenge in 2013? "Our systems consolidations and implementations of Hyperion and Oracle financials while maintaining the status quo."
Biggest FP&A success in 2012? "Implementation of a new, activity-based-costing custom software to drive awareness of business drivers and change the culture of the organization from a sales growth focus to a contribution growth focus."Your economic outlook for 2013? "Moderate growth, exceeding the U.S. forecast for GDP growth."What surprised you in 2012? "Rates continued to decline."Tom Russell, Director of Financial Reporting, Health Care REIT:Your biggest FP&A challenge in 2013? "We are implementing Hyperion Financial Management, with a target date of October 1, 2013, to be ready for year-end close and to load the 2014 budget. Also, we are closing on our largest acquisition in company history ($3 billion) in early 2013, hence necessitating the need for a consolidation tool like HFM."Your biggest FP&A success in 2012? "Migrating all of our XBRL tagging in-house using IBM Cognos FSR."Your economic outlook for 2013? "The market is good for real estate companies like Health Care REIT. Interest rates are low, as well as prices. We continue to expect to grow throughout the year."What surprised you in 2012? "Record profits from companies in spite of continued economic weakness was the biggest surprise for me. Companies have learned to have optimum pricing, efficient cost structures, and expand internationally in faster growth markets."John Hamrick, Senior Financial Executive and Director of FP&A, Seamans & Associates: Your biggest FP&A challenge in 2013? "The challenges I anticipate for clients in 2013 will be refining cashflow projections to smaller cycle periods and improving business valuation on start-ups."Your biggest FP&A success in 2012? "Our big success for a client in 2012 was developing a Monte Carlo simulation of sales pipeline and structuring a project-driven cashflow model."Your economic outlook for 2013? "I have a guarded outlook on 2013. It feels like we are driving into a fog and the instinct is to slow down a pray you don't hit something."David Mann, Director of Finance, Constant Contact:Your biggest FP&A challenge in 2013? "My biggest challenge is continuing to look across the organization to optimize investments."Your biggest FP&A success in 2012? "One success was building in sensitivity analysis in all that we do so we can understand the range of outcomes and plan accordingly." Todd Patterson, CTP, Manager-Business Planning & Services, PPL Electric Utilities: Your biggest FP&A challenge in 2013? "One of the biggest challenges we continue to face is the accuracy of forecasting. While external variables will continue to fluctuate, the challenge remains to forecast projects' cash flows, accruals, and milestone achievements to a level of accuracy that reduces material variances." Your biggest FP&A success in 2012? "Responses to external variables have been a success in 2012, but managing variables generally within our control continues to be a challenge."Thomas W. Smith, Director, Financial Planning & Analysis, Home Systems Division, Legrand, North America:What surprised you in 2012? "An interesting sign of the times is that treasurers and cash managers were increasingly willing to acknowledge that they were sitting on excess cash—keeping it on the sidelines so to speak—in order to avoid market risk. Obviously, it's a completely rational position to take in today's world, but it also represents a very striking contrast to the thinking, actions, and statements of previous decades."

Atlanta, GA (PRWEB) June 23, 2014
A rash of break-ins have plagued a neighborhood in Fitchburg, Ma, reported by News Telegram. "When there is a break-in into someone's home, it is very frightening," Deputy Chief Bozicas of the Fitchburg Police Department said. "It is one of the most traumatic events you can go through. It is traumatic enough if you come home from vacation to find your home was broken into. To actually be home, especially if it is at night, is unimaginable."
An increase in home invasions occurs during the summer months when families are most likely to leave doors unlocked and windows open or take a vacation, leaving a home defenseless from uninvited guest. However, the risk of break-ins can be reduced by following a few basic measures. Below are tips from Security Product Depot to help secure your home and family.
Security Product Depot is an established online provider of physical security products and security information. They are committed to offering a broad array of the latest technology to help their clients protect their assets and property.

When I found out Karmin was opening up the Steve Madden Summer Music Series with Spin Mag, I was more than happy to stop by and check these guys out. Click below for some SHOTS:
What: Steve Madden Summer Music Series, sponsored by Spin Mag, Epic Records and Tito's Handmade Vodka, featuring Karmin
Where: NYC
Venue: L.E.S. Steve Madden Store
When: May 9th, 2012
Who: Karmin, DJ Kalkutta, Allison Hagendorf
Notes: Ever since seeing their early YouTube videos – which is how they rose to fame – I have loved what these guys do, musically. Comprised of Amy Heidemann and Nick Noonan, this duo, along with their guitar player, pump out pop hits galore and mix that with a bit of hip hop flavor.
I've been wanting to see them perform live for a while now, so I'm happy I had the chance to catch up with them at this great event made possible by Steve Madden, Spin Mag, Epic Records and Tito's Vodka. Aside from their great performance, I give them credit for being extremely cordial with the audience/fans – not everyone I've met have been as gracious as them. Check out Karmin's music here.

text: The Justice Department has ordered Florida, a likely key swing state in the 2012 election, to end a controversial voter purge that has primarily targeted Latino, Democratic and independent-minded voters. The Justice Department says the process had not been cleared under the Voting Rights Act. Some Democratic politicians have expressed fear the purge could help Mitt Romney win the state in November. "What weve seen in Florida is an effort on a massive scale by Governor [Rick] Scott to suppress the vote, to make it more difficult for people to vote," says Rep. Ted Deutch (D-FL). Were also joined by Diana Sen, lead counsel for LatinoJustice, part of a coalition of civil rights groups working to protect Latino voters in Florida and elsewhere; and by Maureen Russo, a Fort Lauderdale resident who was among the voters initially purged even though she is a U.S. citizen who has voted for the past 40 years. "I believe its because Im a registered Democrat," Russo says. [VIDEO] (http://www.democracynow.org/2012/6/1/justice_department_orders_florida_to_stop)

Ashland Building a Specialties Core
8:51 AM MDT | August 3, 2012 | —Vincent Valk in Covington, KY
When Jim O'Brien took the helm as Ashland CEO in 2002, he operated a company with cyclical earnings, low margins, and some ill-fitting parts. James O'Brien Ashland's core business was in refining with other operations in motor oil, known as Valvoline; paving and construction materials; chemical distribution; and chemicals, including foundry chemicals, adhesives, water treatment and unsaturated polyester resins. By 2002, the company's longtime core refining business was a run as a joint venture with Marathon Oil. Ashland held only 38% of...

For John Bosco Twahirwa, a Rwandan businessman, his quest for justice after 15 years has become a receding mirage.
Twahirwa, the proprietor of Saba Co., a Rwandan construction company, has expressed frustration over the way the Kenyan judicial system has failed to pursue a court case involving money owed to his company by a Kenyan firm.
Saba Co., registered in Rwanda, entered a sub-contract with Marshall Fowlers Engineering Ltd in 1996. The latter is registered in Kenya. The Rwandan company won a tender to rehabilitate all Marshall Fowlers' tea factories at Kitabi and Mata in the Southern Province.
Saba Co. executed all the works as agreed on in the sub-contract but upon completion, Marshall Fowlers did not pay as per the agreement. Saba Co. subsequently dragged the Kenyan firm to the intermediate court, a case which Saba Co. won.
Marshall Fowlers appealed in the Supreme Court of Rwanda but lost again and was ordered to pay arrears worth over Rwf150 million to Saba Co.
Speaking to The New Times, Twahirwa said that the judgment has since turned into a nightmare since Marshal Fowlers does not have registered properties in Rwanda.
"We have sought the intervention of the Kenyan government to help us resolve this case by ordering Marshall Fowlers to pay up but have encountered unnecessary hindrances. My plea is that just as Kenyan businessmen are protected in Rwanda, Kenya should reciprocate this gesture by protecting us, too," he said.
Consequently, Twahirwa sought the intervention of Rwanda's Ministry of Justice and, in a letter dated November 5, 2008, Justice Minister Tharcisse Karugarama wrote to the Attorney General of Kenya, requesting his office to facilitate the speedy execution of the case.
"Having observed that Marshall Fowler Engineers Ltd does not want to execute the case voluntarily; after providing that Marshall Fowler Engineers Ltd have no properties in Rwandan territory, we are honoured to request your high office to facilitate in execution of the case No. RCAA 0012/04/CS in Kenya because Marshall Fowlers Engineers Ltd has properties there," read part of the letter, which also highlighted the court decisions to be executed.
The letter, wrote and signed by Minister Karugarama, ordered the appellant company to pay Saba Co. Rwf51.3 million as the principle debt, as well as Rwf89.1 million to BCDI bank. On top of that, Marshall Fowlers was ordered to pay a proportional tax of 4 per cent of the sum to the Rwandan government.
When this paper contacted Rose Makena, Kenya's High Commissioner to Rwanda, for a comment, she stressed that she did not have information about the case between the two firms but insisted that Kenya always ensures that justice is served even to foreign nationals.
"There are commercial laws which must be followed and the Government cannot tell courts what to do because they are independent. I am not well versed with the case but I trust the courts to continue with the due process until they find a solution," she stated.
"In Kenya the judiciary is independent. If the law is on your side, then you will get justice, despite some delays. Rwanda and Kenya share a healthy relationship and our judiciary cooperates; so you cannot generalise from one single case."
In this case, Saba Co. won against Marshall Fowlers sums of money totaling Rwf149,179,568 - an equivalent of Ksh18,647,446 - in the Rwandan Supreme Court and in the Kenya Commercial High Court of Milimani. Several attempts have since been made to have the judgment executed - in vain.

This GMC Yukon, foreground, came to rest at the tip of a drainage culvert following a collision with the Chevrolet Impala in the background at the intersection of Poorhouse Road and South Montgomery Street around 5 p.m. Thursday. The driver of the Impala, Jameka Coffey, 24, of Starkville, along with two children from the Yukon, were transported for examination to OCH Regional Medical Center, said County Fire Coordinator Kirk Rosenhan. The Yukon, driven by Toshia Jones, 33, of Starkville was headed south on South Montgomery, and the Impala was traveling west, he said. District 5/Oktoc volunteers responded, as did Oktibbeha County sheriff's deputies. Traffic was backed up at the intersection for several minutes while emergency responders cleared the scene. The crash is still under investigation and no charges have been filed.

Thanks to a slew of injuries, Princeton has seven players who've played in every game this season.The injuries, and Princeton's lack of production overall, make it difficult to name an MVP. The Tigers haven't won since Nov. 23, and most players have scored in bunches this season.
One of the biggest absences from Princeton's lineup is Andrew Calof, who led Princeton in scoring for the past three years. He's been out since Nov. 9 against Yale.
Princeton has averaged 2.07 goals per game and been shutout twice. Goalkeeping hasn't fared much better for the Tigers, although partly due to poor team play.
The biggest scoring contributions have come from Tucker Brockett, Andrew Ammon, Jonathan Liau, Jack Berger and Aaron Kesselman.
Brockett has taken a hold of the scoring lead with 11 points. He's the only Princeton player in double digits, but he hasn't scored since Nov. 16.
With Mike Condon's departure, Sean Bonar has seen the most time in Princeton's net. He started nine games, recorded a 2-6-0 record, a 3.89 goals-against average and a .877 save percentage.
Ammon leads the team with six goals. It's not the amount of goals, but when Ammon has scored them. He's scored the game-winning goal twice for the Tigers this season.
MVP: Andrew Ammon
Honorable mention: Tucker Brockett, Sean Bonar

Anna Akhmatova is one of Russia's best known and most talented twentieth-century lyric poets and, along with fellow poet Marina Tsvetaeva, its most significant female writer. Akhmatova made her poetic debut in the pre-revolutionary era and was a key figure in the so-called Silver Age, the flowering of modernism in the first quarter of the twentieth century. She was a contemporary of Osip Mandelshtam, Aleksandr Blok and Vladimir Maiakovsky. Yet her pre-eminent position in Russian cultural history rests on more than the quality of her writing alone. Through a combination of her poetry, the shape of her biography, and the charismatic force of her personality, she has acquired a legendary status, becoming – even during her own …

Status Meeting at the Federal Ministry of Education and Research
As our work is sponsored by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research we had the chance to give a presentation of our ongoing work at a status meeting of the ministry in Bonn last week. It was a really interesting two day meeting because many other sponsored projects were invited, too.
Due to the fact that our Mobile-Sandbox attracted a lot of attention there were many interesting discussions afterwards. Let's see how these discussions will influence the further development of the system.
We also had the chance to present our forensic framework - ADEL - in a poster session. The presented poster can be viewed here:

Submetido por Kenneth Craft (Intel) em
When you purchase a license for an Intel® Software Development Product, you are entitled to the latest version of your product, as well as any new versions which are released during your license period. When your subscription expires, you are "locked in" to the last version which released during the period, and you are limited in terms of support. A renewal license allows you to extend your support window and provides you with an upgrade path for new versions, premier technical support, and associated resources.
Licensing costs vary by product, however generally if your license expired more than two years ago, a new license costs less than purchasing a three-year renewal.
Intel has reduced the renewal prices for Intel® Software Development products. This will make it even easier to consider renewing early and extending uninterrupted access to product support and product updates!
Buy a Pre-Expiry Date Renewal before your one year of support ends for an exceptionally low price. A full year of product support and updates will be added on to your current product's expiry date. You can buy this renewal any time before your current support ends.
If you don't get around to buying a Pre-Expiry Date Renewal and your current product's support expires, you can still buy a Post-Expiry Date Renewal. This is a new type of renewal. The discount is not as good as the Pre-Expiry Date Renewal, but still substantial. This discount is available for up to one year after your current license expires! The renewal starts on the date of purchase, not the day your product expires, and gives you one full year of support and updates.
If you wait more than 13 months after your product's expiry date, you no longer qualify for a renewal. If you want continued support at that time, you will have to repurchase the product.
Use the Support Renewal / Upgrade options tool which helps to make a better choice about renewal and upgrades available for your purchased product(s).

Ferrari 599XX
Posted: 30 Jun 2010
The rest of the aerodynamics are more traditional, but no less effective: the combination of big spoiler, winglets, a flat underbody and other tweaks mean that the 599XX produces 280kg of real downforce at 120mph and a not-inconsiderable 630kg at 185mph. There are even F1-derived 'doughnuts' which partly cover the carbon brake discs and wheel rim, smoothing the airflow around the wheels and helping regulate the brake temperature. Slap on the standard slicks and you'll be good to go.

Checking blood glucose in newborn babies
- Healthy full-term babies do not need blood glucose checks.
- Blood glucose is checked with just a few drops of blood, usually taken from your baby's heel.
- The most natural way to feed your baby and keep a normal blood glucose level is early and frequent breastfeeding.
What is blood glucose?
Blood glucose is a sugar that moves through the bloodstream and provides energy to all the cells in the body. It is one of your baby's most important sources of energy.
Babies with normal blood glucose levels have all the energy they need for healthy growth and development. However, in rare cases, blood glucose levels can fall too low and cause a baby to become sick.
Where do babies get glucose?
Babies get glucose through the placenta and umbilical cord while in their mother's uterus (womb). Some of that glucose is used right away as energy and some is stored for after birth. This stored glucose helps keep your baby's levels normal for the first few days of life until she is feeding well.
Once mom's breast milk is established (usually by a baby's third day of life), it becomes the main source of sugar for your baby. The sugar in milk changes to glucose in the body. When this happens, your baby will also start to store glucose for use between feeds.
Why do some babies have low blood glucose?
- In healthy full-term babies (babies born after 37 weeks), blood glucose levels are at their lowest 1 to 2 hours after birth. After this, the levels usually start to rise as your baby's body starts to use healthy sugar and fat stores.
- Small and preterm (early) babies may not have enough stores to keep the level up without extra feedings. These babies are most at risk for low blood glucose in the first 36 hours of life.
- Babies whose mothers have diabetes (especially mothers who need insulin or have diabetes that is not well controlled) may have trouble using their glucose stores. The normal rise in blood sugar that takes place after birth may not happen right away.
- Babies who are large for their gestational age (also called "large-for-dates") may have the same kind of problem during the first 12 hours of life.
Usually, low blood glucose levels will only last for a few hours, but can last up to 24-72 hours. Once your baby's levels become normal, he shouldn't have further problems with hypoglycemia (another name for low blood glucose).
In very rare cases, low blood sugar can be severe or last a long time. If this happens, your doctor will do special tests to look for other causes.
Do all newborn babies need blood glucose checks?
Healthy full-term babies do not need blood glucose checks. They have enough stored energy to last them until breastfeeding is going well. Babies who are not well will need blood glucose checks and other tests.
Some babies are more at risk for low blood glucose. Babies who need routine glucose checks include:
- Preterm babies born more than 3 weeks before they are due (36 weeks gestation or less).
- Babies who are small for their gestational age (or "small-for-dates"), particularly if their growth was poor in the last few weeks of pregnancy.
- Babies whose mothers had diabetes during or before pregnancy.
- Babies who are large for their gestational age.
- Babies with rare medical conditions that cause low blood glucose.
How is blood glucose checked?
Blood glucose is checked with just a few drops of blood, usually taken from your baby's heel.
If your baby is at-risk (see above) but doing well, blood glucose will be checked around 2 hours of age and then again before your baby feeds. In total, it will be checked about 3 to 5 times during the first and second days of life.
Why is low blood glucose dangerous to babies?
If a baby is already sick with low blood glucose—especially if it lasts for several hours—she may be at risk of long-term problems with development or learning.
What is the normal level of blood glucose in a baby?
Blood glucose is measured in millimoles per litre (mmol/L). Newborn babies should be treated when a single blood glucose test is less than 1.8 mmol/L, or when more than one test shows levels of less than 2.6 mmol/L.
What do I do if my baby has low blood glucose levels?
Your baby will be checked for signs of illness. He will need extra feedings if his levels don't rise on their own. The extra feeds can be given:
- from the breast,
- as expressed breast milk, or
- as formula.
If the extra feedings don't raise the blood glucose level or if your baby is not able to feed well, your baby will need intravenous treatment (through a needle or tube inserted into the body). Preterm babies or babies with low birth weight often have an intravenous started when they are born.
How long will blood glucose checks or additional treatments be needed?
Blood glucose levels usually get back to normal within 12 hours to 72 hours (3 days) of birth, especially once your baby is feeding regularly.
It's rare for full-term babies to continue having trouble with their blood glucose levels. If this happens beyond 24 hours, your baby's doctor may want to do more tests.
How can I prevent low blood glucose in my baby?
The most natural way to feed your baby and to keep a normal blood glucose level is early and frequent breastfeeding. Talk to your health care provider before you start using breast milk substitutes (formula).
It's also important to know if your baby is at risk for low blood glucose (see above).
Do not smoke during pregnancy. Babies who are exposed to tobacco don't grow well.

Valve backs PC maker Xi3, announces Steam Box mini-PC
Mark and Martin bring you news of Valve's backing of micro-PC maker Xi3, the possibility of a Steam Box, and how this affects the world of PC hardware.
by Sarah Lynch on
Did you enjoy this video?Sign In to Upvote
haha 999 dollars for a pc that you could build yourself for 2-300 dollars. but sure it is small and looks cute ;)
A $1000.00!! And then theres the cheaper model for $500.00 - if it is all down to a licensing issue, a 50% increase in price is ridiculous! Especially considering we're talking about an OS whose kernel hasn't changed significantly since Windows 95 and still requires a gargantuan amount of hardware just to get it to run effectively. I do believe that these small PC's and digital downloads are the way to go, but when you talk about PC's youre talking about devices are synonymous of modifying, backwards compatablity and so on. We're talking about building machines like muscles cars for great savings and getting massive power out of them. $1000.00 for a tiny box that I cannot go out and buy parts freely to upgrade it constantly seems like buying a German car that doesnt come with carpets as standard. and what happens if this whole investment and push by both companies doesnt stand the test of time? what are we going to do with kit thats dead?
DVD will be gone in a matter of years. HD space is cheap and once SSD space becomes cheaper DVD will be gone. Good for steam and their very forward thinking model.
"Who uses a DVD drive anymore?"
Uh . . . . about 80% of the computers out there. Which is why games still come on DVD..
100% of games come on DVD, and you call that "outdated"??
That's funny.
i don;t believe in this stuff, no DVD rom drive, only usb drives, the cooling by longer gaming is not enough, no point making a small computer when you still need big hardware like a keyboard, mouse, speakers and monitor that are big in comparison. This PC is not Handheld and you will still be stationary unless you take all the other stuff i mentioned above with you. This is in my opinion a misstep. They should concentrate on making desktops and/or tablets more powerfull and acessible for gamers if we are a objective group of people for them.
@Born_Lucky ummm you do realize that steam sell games which are all DOWNLOAD only so obviously if they do make a console or a 'steambox' all the games would be acquired via steam for DOWNLOAD
@Born_Lucky I haven't used my DVD-drive since the last time I reinstalled windows 7. All my games I buy online and all my drivers i download online to make sure I get the latest updated driver.
@Born_Lucky Havn't seen minecraft on DVD before. Digital download is the way is all going. HD space is cheap and once SSD is larger DVD will die...
Who uses a DVD drive anymore? I think the whole point of the steam 'big picture mode' is that you don't need the clunky mouse and keyboard setup. You can access all your games with a controller, or if you choose, mouse and keyboard.
The components draw at most 40W total. A helicopter-loud cooling solution is not necessary.
What's really cool about this device, is that you get to choose which peripherals and devices are required. And Xi3 claims the X7a can run Crysis 2. These are sexy devices. If they can get the price point down, they'll print their own money.
@placksheep @Mar_Sama i do understand but the internet distribution is not the only one. Remember, games, programs and other software in shops are still buyable on CD/DVD/Blueray Disc so the era of CD's is long not over, i understand that you can download all the stuff but if your internet connection is not fast it takes a long time to download. Besides not all people are so open to pay per internet and like to buy things with cash. Well if the shops do provide a download p2p option than it is great and i will not have any arguements, but unless this happens, there is a lot to look for to make the enviroment ready for small PC's that don't require ROM drives, Internet Drives and such. Oh and i forgot if you make a HD Formatation you need the drivers that after the Format are no longer on the Drive
with 6 USB Ports, you can add all the outdated peripherals you want :-P

Cameo Fifth Wheels Are No Longer Made but-May be coming back. Stay tuned.
RV and Camper Table Legs and Supports
A frequent question on our Cameos that DID NOT have a free standing table and chairs had dinettes instead, and had some minor issues with the legs. This article seemed to be appropriate.
RV and Camper Table legs come in different lengths and different bases. RV Pedestal Table Legs starts at 18 1/2 inches up to 31 1/2 inches. The table leg is measured from end to end without being connected to the table base.
RV and Camper Table leg bases usually are either round flush mounts or round cone bases. RV Adjustable table legs usually range from 24 to 29 inches. Travel trailers and motorhomes use table legs of both types, but the round table legs are most common in travel trailers and fifth wheels where the adjustable table legs are more common in a motorhome. Fold down campers often use a hinged table leg.If you can't find the rv or camper table legs that you need e-mail us at email@example.com
RV Table Legs and Bases- Our round table legs are strong light weight and tubular in shape. The tubluar ends are pressure fitted at top and bottom making the table legs easy to fit. The rv table leg measurement includes the standard table base on top and bottom.
The adjustable folding table legs are rounded square shaped. (the table leg is square but the edges are rounded). The table legs lock in the up or down position. The adjustable table legs can be adjusted from 24inches to 29 inches. Th folding table leg is 30 1/2 inches long.
There is also the Rv table leg and base system by ITC. This system is stable and secure the locking rv table leg into the table floor base. The rv leg posts are available in 22 and 27 inch lengths.
There is also a square folding rv table leg by Kwikee. This rv table leg is is chromed steel with protective rubber tip. This table leg come 30 1/2 inches long and can be cut to length.
People often get confused when trying to repair their camper table mounts or bases. That is easily understandable, because of the lack of information about doing so. I hope this information will help the do-it-yourselfer when trying to make a repair on a recreational vehicle table.
The most common tables are done with round the legs and surface or recessed mounting bases. The legs usually range in size from 18 inches to 31 1/2 inches long. Some tables are supported with just one leg while others are supported with two.
The installation bases are the round recessed mountable base, or the round surface mount base. The recessed base will sit flush with the floor and not have anything protruding upward. The service mount base will protrude upward approximately 2 1/2 to 3 inches.
If the protrusions are not an issue, they will be the most easily installed. The bases have preset holes in them already, and you just screw the base to the bottom of the table and to the floor. The leg is just inserted into the base to form the table support. The height of the table can be set by simply purchasing the correct table leg length.
If the protrusions are an issue, you'll have to cut a hole in the floor to set the flush mount base into place. While this is not a hard project, it is one that you want to measure twice and cut once.
There also a couple of other methods of table building or repair. One of the common methods would be the table hinge bracket kit. It includes a wall plate, table plate, and the bracket hinges. This type of table will swing down or hinge down to lay flat between the table seats. This installation will be more time-consuming, and most likely more expensive.
Often times you choose to use a table hinge bracket kit you'll also have to use an adjustable folding table leg. These two come in different sizes, and need to be sized properly to match where you are placing the hinge kit onto the wall. Be careful if you are ordering this type of product, it is easy to confuse an adjustable folding leg with the non-adjustable folding leg.
You can find all of these parts on a site that sells RV parts and accessories. Most of your local RV dealerships or repair facilities will often have these in stock as well. Check out the keyless entry locks while you are looking.

Charles Kelley Dishes On New Lady Antebellum Record
Lady Antebellum's Charles Kelley has opened up about the band's forthcoming release, Golden. The album, which follows the third LP Need You Now, is due out on May 7.
Speaking with The Huffington Post, Kelley explained where they got the title and how the band is feeling as they move into a new phase of their career:
"It's actually the last song we wrote for the record," said Kelley. "And we just thought the title represented the record as a whole and kind of where we are as a band. This nice little sweet spot as a band, and kind of getting, honestly, back to how we started with the songwriting together -- the three of us in a room."
He added that they took a more laid back approach while recording the album.
"I think with this whole record, just in general, we just didn't put as much pressure on ourselves . . . We're not trying to chase a hit as much as I think we've tried in the past record or so," he said.

Fav Tweet Tuesday
This week's Fav Tweet comes from YouthMinistry.com, tweeting an article by the amazing Kurt Johnston. This guy is a legend in the youth ministry world. He tweeted about an article that he had posted on More Than Dodgeball, but his articulated concern in the article is very poignant.
Anyone can start a new project or event, but can you maintain? @kurtjohnston challenges us to think long term here: http://t.co/ZmhNNxDRbF
— YouthMinistry (@youthministry) July 26, 2014
While I'm just as excited as you about the launch, and largely responsible for creating this excitement, I'm more concerned about week #2 and week #28 and week #84 than I am about week #1.
This is extremely common in the church world. What's the new/next thing? But there are things that we've been doing that are working well. Those things are good. They're still exciting. They're still important. They don't need to be replaced by something shiny and new.
I just started my 7th year at OroNaz in the Student Ministry department. We're looking at our fall launch, but I'm excited to look at what happens in week #42. I think it helps us really understand the launch and the hype because long term results are the win, not great launches.
Get The Most Out Of Kindle Unlimited
Amazon has done it again, dropping a new service into their lineup that offers an incredible value.
The new service lets you read an unlimited amount of books on any kindle device or kindle app (phones, tablets, computers) for $10 per month.You can try it for 30 days without paying a thing.
I signed up right away. They sent me an email ahead of time because my book Live New is available on kindle unlimited. At first I found that it was a little confusing because I wasn't sure what was available in kindle unlimited.
I figured out the easiest way was to get the drop down on the left of the search bar to say Kindle Unlimited. This took some poking around, but if you click here, it should load the search bar up and look like this:
Now you can search to your hearts content, and everything should show up with a "kindle unlimited" logo above the book. Just click on it, and it will let you click "Read for Free" on the upper right.
When you sync your kindle or kindle app, it will allow you to download all of those books for free.
I just got all of these:
Click here to get Kindle Unlimited free for 30 days.
I'm not sure if it's worth it after the 30 days expire. I'll have to explore the titles more. I'm thinking that if I read more than a book a month on it, then it's worth it.
I guess I could just go to the library. But who has time for that?
Great Travel Hack App
You might notice a lull in posts on misterlib.com over the next couple of weeks. I am taking a few weeks to get out on the road and relax with my family. We are driving about 4500 miles in just under 3 weeks and seeing 12 states in the northwest-ish part of the country.
Most of our accommodations are staying with our great friends and family. But one of the things that makes this trip possible (besides 50mpg in the Prius) is a great app called Hotel Tonight that works on iPhone and Android.
This app is a great way to hack your travel. Gone are the days of reservations weeks or months ahead of time. Gone are the days of bidding on hotels just to end up in a rat infested mold hole.
Hotel Tonight allows hotels to clear out unreserved rooms on the last day for way less than their normal rates. Every morning at 9am, rooms become available like this:
The countdown was at 13 minutes and 22 seconds. You can have the app notify you when they become available. Then, jump on it and get your discounted room.
It's been a real money saver and it allows us to be spontaneous in changing dates or cities for stops on the roadtrip without worrying about cancellation policies.
If you get the app and use the code KLIBBY1, you'll get $25 toward your first booking and it will hook us up with $25 toward a future hotel as well.
Happy travels! And I can't wait to share some great new content when I get back to California in mid-July.
Great Mac Software for CHEAP
I came across this deal today and wanted to share it. I personally use Fantastical on my iPhone and am excited to get to use it on my Mac as well. If you've got a Mac, I recommend getting on this deal right away.
You can Pay What You Want and get 3 of the 10 apps. If you beat the average (about $10 as of writing this post), then you get all 10. The longer you wait, the more it goes up. Click the image or click here to get it!
Plus, 10% of your purchase goes to one of three charities!

Fav Tweet Tuesday
It's that time of year (well, every 4 years) where the world shuts down to see who is the best at soccer. After the brilliant showing against Nigeria in Jacksonville, I'm more excited than ever about the team that we are sending. Here's my fav tweet of the week:
#USMNT series "One Nation. One Team. 23 Stories" drops on June 8. WATCH the trailer: http://t.co/QaBPkHYZby pic.twitter.com/FwLJgj1f0p
— U.S. Soccer (@ussoccer) June 5, 2014
What I love about the way that the world is moving is that the stories matter. We're not content with sending 23 men to Brazil to kick balls. We want to know who these guys are. We want to know why we should root for these guys.
And they've given us that. Check out the trailer.
Each video gives us a snapshot of the life of the player. It's awesome and makes me feel like I know these guys.
Which makes me think about the people I go to church with that I don't really know.
I wonder what simply sharing stories might do for our faith communities? How much can you really know someone without knowing their story?
