@Gelugon_baat Yes but most skills in gaming are transferable across genres. Considering their career consists of playing games, you think they'd be decent, if not excellent, at them.

Salt Lake City, Utah
Released On: July 12, 2013
The facility was selected by the Department of Energy for the 2012 Better Buildings Federal Award for demonstrating extreme energy savings. The competition challenges federal agencies to achieve the greatest reduction in annual energy intensity, or energy consumed per gross square foot. The Brackish Groundwater National Desalination Research Facility reduced its energy intensity by 53.6 percent over a one-year period from September 2011 to September 2012.
"This wasn't just about a contest," said Randy Shaw, manager of the BGNDR facility. "It just so happened a contest came along that matched what we were already doing."
Dr. Timothy Unruh, Federal Energy Management Program Director, presented the award on behalf of the Department of Energy. "It really comes down to individual decisions and individual actions," he said. "It's not the technology. It's the people making the decisions."
In accepting the award, Shaw turned and presented the award to the member of his staff who actually made the changes resulting in the energy savings. Steve Holland was given the challenge when he came on board at the facility in 2011 to reduce energy use by 10 percent. Instead, the changes he implemented resulted in 53 percent savings.
"Steve didn't believe that little phrase you can't do it," Heinrich said. "That phrase is often what holds us back from saving enormous energy resources. This is a story I'm going to carry forward to other places."
Shaw led a presentation and tour of the facility to start the day. Heinrich and Unruh were able to see firsthand some of the technologies currently being tested at the facility, and hear from the organizations who are conducting the tests.
Located on 40 acres of land, the BGNDR facility opened in 2007 and provides clients with six indoor test bays, a laboratory, office space, a 30-seat conference room and outdoor test areas for testing and developing a variety of advanced water technologies. Clients consist of government agencies, universities and private sector companies.

Google Adwords Overqualified Company….
Famed adman David Oglivy is usually credited as having said: "Half my advertising is wasted, the trouble is I don't know which half." In fact, it was actually John Wannamaker, considered the father of modern advertising.
No matter who said it, ROI (Return On Investment) or in Googlespeak, ROAS (Return On Advertising Spend) has long been the bane of marketers and advertisers alike.
Google was supposed to have solved that but according to ex-Google employee Adam Goldberg, responsible for the $500 million team behind Google Adwords, this may not in fact be the case. According to the ZDNet Digital Markets blog posting by Donna Bogatin, Google clients 'frustrated' by unprofitable AdWords buys,
Goldberg says now, however, that "on average online advertisers waste 30% of their budgets on unprofitable campaigns" and they are "frustrated."
Goldberg isn't alone, Ice.com has gone on record with their frustrations, as has no less a company than Travelocity.
Does that mean we should all increase our hand-wringing quotient and decrease our marketing budgets? Not quite. And certainly Adam Goldberg doesn't think so. In fact, a new company Clearsaleing.com, of which he is the "Chief Revenue Officer" seeks to do quite the opposite. Rather than giving up, he's decided to monetize his core competency, Adwords, by helping clients increasing ROI.
Isn't that what paid search or any search strategy for that matter is all about?
I'm guess he's Adwords Qualified. I wonder if there's an Adwords OverQualified designation.
The point here is a simple one, companies or professionals invested in search are an investment well worth making.
SHAMELESS PLUG - SEM and Paid Search is one of our core competencies.
Have a good one.
~ The (SEP) Guy
One Response to "Google Adwords Overqualified Company…."
Interesting. I stopped using adwords a while back because hits != sales and its not a long term payback, It runs and when its out of money your stuck unlike other forms.

Referrals to the Sleep Disorders Center
Testing in the Sleep Disorder Center is by physician referral only. If you need further information or assistance, please call our office, open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
Sleep Studies are normally performed Sunday nights through Thursday nights. As a hospital-based facility, the Sleep Disorders Center provides the reassurance of knowing that the full resources of West Florida Hospital are available if necessary, including West Florida Hospital's emergency team.

To really follow up from "last night' you should think about posting a review

There is an international quantum teleportation space race heating up. Around the world, countries are investing time and millions of dollars into the technology, which uses satellites to beam bits of quantum information down from the sky and and could profoundly change worldwide communication.
This is not a maybe-sort-of-one-day quantum technology. Quantum teleportation has been proven experimentally many times over and researchers are now eyeing the heavens as their next big leap forward. Most of what remains are the nuts and bolts engineering challenges (and some more money) before it becomes a thing of the present.

David Lee Roth gets mad
By Tony Hicks
Thursday, March 15th, 2012 at 6:59 pm in Uncategorized.
Holy cow.
We're all used to happy go lucky Uncle Dave, wearing his funny, train conductor clothes and saying all kind of cute, yet confusing things about all sorts of stuff. But never in my 32 years years of being a Van Halen fan have I ever seen Uncle Dave get this mad, He doesn't want people fighting at Van Halen shows and, considering he's a seventh degree black belt at something or another, I would immediately stop whatever I was doing, should Uncle Dave yell at me.

Shin Splints, also known as Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome, is not pain in the shin bone itself, but instead in the connective tissues associated with muscle attachment near the shin.
Shin Splints are characterized by tenderness and are typically accompanied by pain in the lower shin area, usually occurring during exercise, but also lingering at rest as the Shin Splints progress.
Shin Splints can be caused by the sudden increase in mileage or switching from running on flat surfaces to hilly or uneven surfaces.

Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki took inspiration from London's iconic tube map to make a working radio.
The route map of the London Underground is a global icon, something that has long transcended its functional purpose to become an instantly recognisable symbol of the city itself. But rather than working to an official commission, the original designer, Harry Beck, created the map as a pet project in his spare time, drawing on his electronics engineering background to make a map that resembled a circuit diagram.
This was the inspiration behind the 'reverse-engineering' of Japanese designer Yuri Suzuki, who used the tube schematic to make a printed circuit board, then, by installing components at strategic locations, turned it into a functioning radio.
The project was completed as part of a 2012 residency at the London Design Museum, that saw a range of artists and designers experiment with familiar materials from consumer culture.
Below the picture, the designer explains his work in a short video.

More than 12,000 people a day pass through Atwood, thousands of meetings take place under this roof in a year, and our central location on the campus makes us a gathering place for both commuting and residential students.
Atwood Memorial Center, which opened its doors to the public in 1966, is named for Allen A. Atwood, one of the many people who originally recognized the need for an alternative to the environment provided by classrooms, libraries and residence halls. A bronze statue of Mr. Atwood by sculptor Otto Dahlmann was donated by the Atwood family and is on display on the main floor.
Our role as the heart and soul of the university depends almost totally on our ability to continue to service SCSU's social, cultural, and co-curricular needs. This ability to serve depends on the quality and motivation of our employees. Everyone here at Atwood, from full-time staff to the student employee, has the obligation to provide the best possible service.
On the following pages is the information that will help us all consistently and efficiently serve the guests of Atwood. The information is, by necessity, only the skeleton of what you will eventually know as most of the training is on the job.
Finally, be aware that there is very little in Atwood that is unchangeable. This is not only your place of employment, this is your student union, and we welcome and encourage your recommendations for improvement.

A provincial court judge believes there were inappropriate conversations between Lloyd Whitehorne and a 13-year-old girl, but felt the Crown had not proven beyond a reasonable doubt there was any physical contact between them.
Law Court
Lloyd Whitehorne, an elementary school teacher from Port aux Basques alleged to have had an intimate relationship with a 13-year-old girl, has been acquitted of charges of sexual assault and sexual interference.
Judge Catherine Allen-Westby delivered her decision on the case in provincial court in Corner Brook Monday morning, one month after a three-day trial in early September.
The judge believed there were inappropriate conversations via electronic devices between Whitehorne, 41, and the young girl and that he did nothing to discourage those conversations from continuing. At trial, Whitehorne had denied he had sent some of those messages, which indicated plans for the two to meet secretly.
However, Allen-Westby said there was reasonable doubt about whether any inappropriate physical contact had ever taken place between the two. The judge based that decision primarily on inconsistencies between what the girl had told police and her testimony in court during the trial.

Is Your Personal Data Safe?
With technology becoming more and more a part of our lives it is easy to forget that the bad people out there on the internet have been able to keep up with the times. The need to secure your personal data seems to be a recurring theme on the news. We hear stories of how a company lost millions of credit card numbers and accounts or stories about how someone stole a contact list from a celebrity's phone. But doesn't that just happen to celebrities or in retail and banking? Universities don't have this type of information security problem, do they? As you will see in the stories below, serious information security problems also occur in higher education. In fact, some of the most serious data breaches in the last couple of years have occurred at universities.
Stolen Stanford Laptop Contained Confidential Employee Information
By Adam Dodge - Posted on June 6th, 2008. Abstract Source: Stanford News Service
This past June, Stanford University alerted current and former employees that their personal data was compromised after the university determined a laptop was stolen. According to university officials the laptop may have contained the names, Social Security numbers, salary information, Stanford IDs, dates of birth, gender information, home addresses, telephone numbers and Stanford e-mail addresses on as many as 72,000 individuals. The incident affected those employees who had received a paycheck from the university before September 28, 2007.
UC Irvine ID Theft Caused By United Health Care Data Breach
By Adam Dodge - Posted on June 3rd, 2008. Source: ComputerWorld, The Mercury News
A large number of ID theft crimes affecting University of California, Irvine medical students have been traced back to a data breach at UnitedHeathCare. A total of 1,132 current and former graduate students enrolled in the university's graduate student health insurance program could fall victim to tax scam. So far, 155 of these students have had criminals file false tax returns in the students' names and collect the refunds. Only those students enrolled in the insurance program in 2006-2007 are affected. The University of California, Irvine set up a web site - www.uci.edu/identitytheftalert/ - to answer questions about this incident. Police arrested a Fort Worth, Texas man in connection with the ID theft crimes affected UC Irvine students. Authorities allege that Micheal Tyrone Thomas stole a file containing UC Irvine student information while working for UnitedHealthcare. According to a UnitedHealthcare statement, the company is "outraged that a former employee may have illegally accessed information regarding certain University of California, Irvine, students and may have used the information for criminal purposes" and UnitedHealthcare is working with authorities on the case.
Each of these reports happened close to home. But you can help make your information safe by following information security best practices. Here are the top seven best practices to follow:
Protect your password
Do not share your password or post it anywhere. Do not use dictionary words or family or department names. Change to a more secure passphrase.
Protect confidential information
By law, most student and other personal information is confidential. To be safe, be cautious with any private data and store as little confidential information on your computer or in unsecured areas as possible.
Update system patches, security fixes, and anti-virus software
Make sure home and office Windows machines have the latest patches and security fixes and update anti-virus software. Set your computers to have updates downloaded automatically.
Use secure and supported applications
Insecure applications such as Hot Bar and Kazaa can cause trouble for your computer and leave you and the university open to network attack.
Don't open suspicious e-mail attachments
Many viruses and worms are spread through e-mail files you don't recognize.
Back up your data
Protect your important information by making sure your data is backed up regularly. Arrange to store your information on the university's network, where it will be secure and regularly backed up.
Use a password protected screensaver to "lock" your computer when unattended, and turn off your computer at night (unless it is backed up at night and must be left on)
Turning off your computer will both save energy and protect it from outside network attack.

JCorp via WANCorp in cooperation with State Islamic Councils and support from KPJ Healthcare Berhad developed and managed 20 Waqaf An-Nur Clinics (KWAN) besides one Waqaf An-Nur Hospital (HWAN) at Pasir Gudang and two mobile clinics on the fundamental of charity through waqaf concept's adaptation.
The main objective of KWAN and HWAN's establishments is to provide healthcare treatment and dialysis facilities to the general public particularly the deserving, regardless of ethnicity and religion.
Apart from Johor, KWANs are also built in Negeri Sembilan, Selangor, Perak, Sarawak and Penang that are developed with cooperation from the respective state's Islamic council. Beginning October 2011, KWAN Kotaraya has been temporarily closed for operation following the renovation works of Plaza Kotaraya Complex (now known as Galleria@ Kotaraya) and the dialysis patients were moved to Pasir Gudang Dialysis Centre.
Until June 2014, a total of 1,001,115 treatments were discharged to the patients in the chain of KWAN and out of that portion, 73,542 treatments were given to the non-Muslim patients. The total number of patients with kidney failures which have been receiving dialysis treatments in HWAN and five KWANs are now 124.
HWAN and chain of KWANs are not only providing healthcare treatment on the nominal charge of RM5 inclusive of medication, yet offering dialysis treatment with the subsidised rate to the deserving. Patients also receive financial support from Baitulmal, PERKESO and various welfare agencies entitling them to free treatments.
The year 2013 witnessed the officiation of KWAN Taman Bukit Tiram which was concluded by YAB Dato' Mohamed Khaled bin Nordin, Chief Minister of Johor on 14 December 2013. In conjunction with the ceremony, WANCorp contributed RM259,000 for the purchase of seven units of dialysis machines whereby three of them located at KWAN Bukit Tiram Dialysis Centre and four others at HWAN Pasir Gudang.
A number of proposed new KWANs are underway in 2014. Among the identified locations being Port Klang, Kajang and Batu Caves in Selangor, Rembau (Negeri Sembilan), Pengkalan Pegoh (Perak), Seberang Jaya (Pulau Pinang) and Tumpat (Kelantan).

By COLLEEN MCCARTHY
Joseph Sebarenzi has every reason in the world to be angry and bitter.
тАЬYou can go through a very, very tough situation but that should not hold you down, should not take away your kindness, your purpose. You need to find ways to move forward and continue being kind, do the right thing and pursue your goals,тАЭ Sebarenzi said. тАЬIn my case, particularly, I endured tragedy beyond understanding with the killing of my father, my mother, my seven siblings тАФ that is a tragedy. But despite that tragedy, I was able to overcome my anger, my bitterness and commit myself to reconciliation, to being kind.тАЭ
Sebarenzi was born in Rwanda in 1963 at a time when his country was already experiencing great turmoil and tension between the two ethnic groups: the Hutu and the Tutsi. He is a Tutsi, part the minority group, though he says there is no way you can tell the difference between the two by looking at them.
Throughout his childhood, he and his family narrowly escaped death at the hands of Hutu rebels several times, but when the situation intensified in the 1990s, he was sent away to Burundi.
тАЬI know for a fact that this is a conflict that started very small, but it grew, and grew and grew until it was a genocide,тАЭ he said.
His parents, seven siblings and most of his other family members were among the approximately 800,000 Tutsi murdered by the extremist Hutu militia during the 1994 genocide that lasted less than 100 days.
Sebarenzi returned after the genocide to help repair the country he loved. After working as a consultant for non-profit organizations, he was elected the speaker of parliament. He served in this position from 1997 to 2000, when he fled the country to the United States following threats on his life.
Since fleeing the country, he has been a vocal advocate for peace. He has worked with the School for International Training in Vermont, teaching conflict transformation.
He brought his message of peace and understanding to Mississippi State University last night, where he spoke to a group of students on the importance of letting go of anger and forgiving their enemies.
тАЬEach year we celebrate International Education Week and we try to bring in a different speaker that can basically enlighten our students to international issues,тАЭ Maria White, assistant dean and director of the Holmes Cultural Diversity Center, said. тАЬIt is going to be good for our students to hear a message of hardship and great tragedy that is being turned around and used to bring awareness and enlightenment to people all over the world.тАЭ
Sebarenzi said he held on to the anger and resentment for many years, but he had to learn to let it go and move on. He recognized forgiveness was the only way to ensure peace for future generations.
тАЬI had to do something to make sure that what happened to my parents, to my siblings does not happen to my children, does not happen to my grandchildren, does not happen to innocent children,тАЭ he said. тАЬIf you take revenge, you are helping this cycle of violence to keep going. The only thing I was able to do was make a contribution to peace for those who had survived, peace for future generations, peace for my children. I could do something about this.тАЭ
Sebarenzi said he also felt he was called by his faith to give up the hate he held in his heart.
тАЬI was raised in a Christian family and like many spiritual faiths тАФ like Islam, like Buddhism, like Judaism тАФ they all teach forgiveness, they donтАЩt teach revenge,тАЭ he said. тАЬYou cannot forgive a sin, but you can forgive a sinner. I keep telling people, I cannot forgive the genocide, but I can forgive the people that committed the genocide.тАЭ
Sebarenzi says he now works to channel the anger into something positive and works to ensure that what happened to his family and his people never happens again. He wrote a book about his experiences following the devastating genocide, called тАЬGod Sleeps in Rwanda: A Journey of Transformation.тАЭ
тАЬI was able to show kindness, not just to anyone, but also to the people who were involved in the genocide. If I can do that тАФ itтАЩs not easy тАФ many people can do that regarding disappointments they have regarding their boyfriend or girlfriend, or divorce, or loss of money,тАЭ Sebarenzi said.

The Courier is the newsletter of the Tennessee Historical Commission. It is issued every June, October and February. It contains a feature article on some aspect of Tennessee History, and news of interest about THC business. It is free for the asking.
Newsletters and how to join the mailing list
Brief overviews of the fourteen (14) state owned historic sites, including the Alex Haley House and Museum, the James K. Polk Home, the Sam Houston Schoolhouse and more.
Locations, hours and a brief history of each site
One of the most visible programs of the THC is the Historical Markers Program. This program, which began in the 1950s, has erected over 1900 markers commemorating and marking the locations of sites, persons, and events significant in Tennessee history. This program has been affected by inflation in the fabrication cost of markers so that only a few new markers may now be placed through commission funding each year. However, the commission still places approximately twelve markers per year that are funded by sponsors. Many markers previously placed are missing or in need of repair and the commission's budget for replacement and repair is also small. The commission has published two guides, one of which highlights those markers relative to the heritage of African Americans. Both publications are available from the commission and other vendors. The markers program is an effective means of introducing highway travelers to Tennessee history.

5.0 Mustang & Super FordsFeatured Vehicles
1992 Ford Mustang - Green Party
Dennis Chandler's Emerald Green '92 rocks modern 5.0 power
The appeal of Coyote/Fox interbreeding is undeniable, and the result is a car that simply begs to be driven and enjoyed.
Alterations to the braking system provided clearance for the new DOHC 5.0, but Dennis clearly went above and beyond in this arena. Running big-by-large four-wheel Wilwoods isn't specifically required, though some kind of upgrade is surely prudent. No matter the choice, the stock Fox power-brake booster has to go; it would quite logically be replaced by a Hydraboost system in most situations. In this case however, Dennis wanted to go old school with full manual control, opting for a conversion kit from Maximum Motorsports.
A number of other hardware components are necessary to complete a Coyote swap on a Fox, some of which were accomplished with a Ron Davis aluminum radiator and S&R Performance power steering pump kit. Other companies offer a variety of swap products, and just during the course of this build through the winter of 2011-2012, a number of high-quality components have hit the market. Of course, the real challenges are in the electronics integration—the black arts, if you will—which is where Dennis believes Brian's work shines particularly bright.
An FRPP Control Pack is really just the beginning to getting the car up on its own feet, to which Brian added a custom SCT tune. The Control Pack did the trick, but was lacking in its ability to accommodate accessories such as A/C and cruise control due to its analog configuration; it's likely better oriented toward the vintage swap market. Brad and Brian figure this is an area that will be addressed by the aftermarket in time, and yet during our shoot, Brian had everything up and functioning as intended—save for the cruise control. He has a fix for that figured out too, but it's a matter of twisting the '92 free from Dennis's tight grip now that he's had a chance to spend some time behind the wheel.
Not to be overshadowed by the impressive engine swap, the remainder of the drivetrain is plenty impressive as well. If you're thinking overbuilt, let's just say Dennis has experienced enough parts breakage through the years to want things bulletproof. Besides, who knows if a supercharger might be in his future? To that end, backing the modern 5.0 is a Tremec Magnum six-speed manual with Centerforce DYAD dual disc clutch, and further arrears, a highly modified 9-inch.
We asked Dennis what he thought of the finished product shortly after his first extended drives last summer. "It's above and beyond my expectations. The power and balance is just phenomenal. It's simply not the same car I dropped off at the shop." After spending some time around the '92 ourselves, that's just the kind of response we anticipated.
The appeal of Coyote/Fox interbreeding is undeniable, and the result is a car that simply begs to be driven and enjoyed. Considering that Dennis has rolled just 1,000 miles a year on the odometer since purchasing his notch 17 years ago, we predict that rate of accumulation is about to accelerate—quickly!

Horse Sense: Owner Dennis Chandler was surprised by the improved front to rear weight balance of the car as a result of the Coyote swap. Formerly a 60/40 split in stock form, the car is now 56/44 thanks to the 444-pound Coyote, tubular front suspension, and trunk-mounted battery. Dennis says the resulting driving dynamic is like night and day.

Asian Champions League quarter-finalists Al Shabab have signed striker Juan Manuel Olivera on a two-year contract.
The 28-year-old Uruguayan joins Al Shabab from Chilean outfit Universidad de Chile and will be the Saudi Arabian side's fourth foreign player.
Olivera began his career with Danubio in 2001 before moving to Cruz Azul in Mexico four years later after he was loaned out to San Lorenzo in 2004. He then joined Universidad de Chile on loan in 2005 before returning to Danubio one year later.
A switch to Asia followed and he played for K-League side Suwon Bluewings in 2006 and Shaanxi Baorong in China but he returned to South America in 2008 when he joined Paraguay's Libertad.
"We signed Olivera after we were convinced by his recent form. Coach Jorge Fossati knows his capabilities very well and he's a good finisher as well," Al Shabab president Khaled Al Bultan told the club's website.
"We agreed on terms with the player three weeks ago but we preferred to wait until the end of his club's participation in the Copa Libertadores to complete the transfer. Olivera is a top striker and he has good goalscoring abilities."

What better way to absorb the sights and sounds of the capital than from one of the many London restaurants with views? Luckily for locals and tourists alike, the capital serves up some of the finest culinary treats the world has to offer, covering everything from British classics, to international delicacies.
St. Paul's

It's a very nice little package, and one we'd be proud to own for the price. We wouldn't actually tell anyone it was so cheap, of course. No. A screen this big and defined belongs in a much more expensive machine.

The HP G72-a10SA is a fair replacement for a desktop PC. The size, weight and battery life mean it's not portable, but it coped fine with playing DVDs and internet video, as well as general office and internet use. Unlike most larger laptops it's no good for gamers but otherwise it's reasonable value.
