The one technology every developer should learn!
I recently wrote a little article for an O'reilly project, in which I argue that the single most important technology that Software Architects need to master is not at all new. And I don't just mean that Fred Brooks already told us about it in the 70′s. It's older than that, much older.
Software Architects and all Developers ultimately will succeed or fail based on their knowledge of one of the same technologies the architects of the pyramids used to get their jobs done — the conversation.
When something goes wrong, or when somebody just isn't getting it, mastery of this simple technology makes a huge difference. A well placed, well handled conversation can change the course of a failing project, or transform something good enough into something great.
Sure conversation can't solve every problem, but it's a key enabler for every other solution, since it is the very thing that allows for exploring possible solutions as a group.
We all learned the basics of conversational technology as kids. But often that's not enough, and we still have conversations that go horribly wrong. Fortunately conversation is not a stagnant technology, and we can learn more as adults.
I've read more books about "how to talk to people" than the average software guy, and I'm endlessly fascinated by the subject. I've recently been getting into the neuroscience side of the subject, and am endlessly fascinated by the complexities of brains.
But, if I had to recomend just one book for developers and architects to read to improve their "people skills," it would be Crucial Conversations. It cuts through the complexity to offer a lot of really simple suggestions that actually work. There's good science behind what's suggested (even though it's not always spelled out in scientific terms.
I know that I really need to write more about why this book is so good. But for now, let me say that it does a better job of outlining in a simple and easy to understand way exactly the tools that are needed to keep both parties in a conversation thinking. It's easy to ignore the impact of fear and anger on our conversations, but to do so is to ignore the way our brains actually work.
Crucial Conversaitons outlines the steps necessary to create a safe place to think, and to actually turn that thinking into mutual decisions, and ultimately into actions that solve some of the most intractable problems in our projects. It certainly helped me.
If you're just struggling to be understood this may not be the best book for you — because it does little to help people structure their thoughts in ways that others can understand. But if you're struggling to break through on tough conversations, and have important issues where you or the other person are frustrated, defensive, and have been avoiding talking about emotionally charged subjects — this is the book for you.
I know it helped me to have productive conversations about difficult issues at work, and at home.

Most Precious Blood has roots like an oak tree in the New York City hardcore scene. "Indecision" is more than a credit on a musician's resume, its an assurance that the players in question have made a contribution to hardcore music. There''s a raw energy you feel in New York City that is unlike any other place in the world, and as products of Gotham City, MPB capture all that raw energy, emotion, and passion of a city always on the brink... of something wonderful, or disastrous. Most Precious Blood arrived with a vengeance, feeling they had to prove they were not just another "ex-members of" band back for glory. They are a new machine. The song writing has matured like a fine wine, now focusing more on melody, proving that you can be catchy while remaining heavier than gravity. Although their first album as MPB, this is collectively the seventh album for these members overall, and by far the most extraordinary example of true devotion to heavy music and hardcore.! This is undoubtedly an instant classic.

Search engine Google has removed 'bisexual' from its list of words it previously only associated with pornography.
The decision was made after pressure from bisexual community and campaign groups whose rankings on the website fell as a result of being blacklisted by the internet giant's Auto Complete and Instant Search functions.
'It's not every day one of the biggest companies in the world changes its mind, but we are thankful that Google now sees bisexual people just like everyone else,' said Faith Cheltenham, president of the BiNet USA organization.
'It will take time for bisexual search terms to be ranked as they were before the ban, but now bisexual people and their allies have a fighting chance to be seen, heard and understood.'
Now that 'bisexual' is allowed by Google's search engine algorithm, terms such as 'bisexual quotes', 'bisexual rights' and 'bisexual parenting' are automatically suggested to users.
However, the lifting of the ban appears to only apply to users in the USA.
When Google Instant was first launched, online gay lifestyle magazine Queerty accused the search engine of censorship over also blocking the word 'lesbian'.
'By narrowly restricting their search results to avoid porn, Google Instant has perhaps deprived young lesbians who could benefit from learning about lesbian art or lesbian rights if they only knew to keep typing,' wrote Daniel Villarreal.
'Google Instant would do better to combine their current Safe Search filters with Google Instant to offer more robust search results that challenge and educate their users rather than censor them before they're finished typing.'
Google has been a supporter of gay rights, launching a campaign in July calling on countries to 'Legalize Love' – making it legal to be lesbian, gay or bisexual around the world.
It also supported Singapore's LGBT festival, Pink Dot, in June.

Urban Search and Rescue/ Human Remains
Scenturion K9 is proud to announce two whole new courses designed to certify our students and their K9 partners in Urban Search and Rescue/ Human Remains Detection. These courses are offered through Sheila McKee and Mountain View Dog Training.
A Disaster Search Canine is trained to detect and indicate on live humans trapped or concealed in rubble or debris. These dogs are trained to bark repetitively at the location of the highest concentration of human scent. Dogs trained in this discipline are certified to a national standard by FEMA (Federal Emergency Management Agency) and are deployed with Urban Search and Rescue Task Forces.
A Human Remains Detection Dog (referred to as an HRD Dog) is trained to detect and indicate the presence of human remains. All of our dogs are trained to a "passive" alert, preferably a sit and point to indicate the location of the odor. Training usually takes 160-200 hours to prepare the dog for the handler.

Tony R. Lee
Contact Information
Tony R. Lee, Environmental Scientist
Phone: 580-436-8890
Mr. Lee is a Physical Scientist in GWERD's Subsurface Remediation Branch. He holds a B.S. in Environmental Science from East Central University and an M.S. in Environmental Science from the University of Oklahoma. Previously, he worked for ten years as a project scientist for ManTech Environmental Technology, Inc., where he conducted research on the identification of ribosomal RNA/DNA from subsurface microorganisms while using gel electrophoresis/high-pressure liquid chromatography techniques. Mr. Lee is also a Class B Certified Waste Water Operator with the State of Oklahoma's Department of Environmental Quality.
Mr. Lee has been with EPA since April 1999. He worked with the Enhanced Source Removal/DNAPL (dense nonaqueous-phase liquid) group while concentrating his investigations on co-solvent and surfactant flushing of residual tetrachloroethylene (PCE) with the micromodel/2-D flow model systems. The micromodel system includes a fiber optic imaging system that records the visual effects of mobilization and solubilization of PCE in the micromodel during the flushing processes. The 2-D flow model system includes light transmission visualization/optical imaging techniques for the identification of residual PCE for various flushing procedures. The DNAPL work involved both field and laboratory studies, and focused on six separate sites: Jacksonville, Florida; Dover Air Force Base, Delaware; Camp Lejeune, North Carolina; Cape Canaveral, Florida; Fort Lewis, Washington; and Hill Air Force Base, Utah. The work done at these sites involved groundwater sampling of multilevel samplers, flux pump tests, installation of multi-level samplers and wells, core sampling (including microbial core sampling techniques), partitioning tracer tests, and DNAPL controlled-release techniques.
Since 2004, Mr. Lee has been working on the scanning electron microscope to identify diatom; arsenic, chromium, and precipitate identification in sediment; and iron filing samples in a permeable reactive barrier (PRB) with secondary/backscatter detectors and EDX (X-ray) elemental mapping software. The identification of elemental weight percent, atomic percent, and the mapped location of the element in the region of interest can be achieved with the EDX detector/software.
Mr. Lee is also working on solid-phase characterization with Dr. Rick Wilkin at various field sites, such as Elizabeth City, North Carolina; East Helena, Montana; Ponchatoula, Louisiana; and the Cimarron Pork field site near Stillwater, Oklahoma. Mr. Lee operates the XRD, TGAMS and the atomic force microscope for his research.

We have been together for more than 30 years. We're a mixed group from Oak Park — married, singles and a few former Catholic priests.
For our 25th year celebration we rented a villa in Tuscany. We still smile and enjoy talking about it.
Last year we formed a four-person committee, and everyone submitted two book titles for possible selection for the following year. The committee meets a few times and selects from the titles submitted.
Authors we would most like to meet: Margaret Atwood, Ann Tyler, Greg Mortenson and, if he were still alive, Mark Twain.
We usually spend 11/2 hours talking about the book.
Some favorite books: "The Things They Carried" by Tim O'Brien, "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok, "The White Hotel" by D.M. Thomas, "Middlesex" by Jeffrey Eugenides, "The Reader" by Bernhard Schlink.
Up next: "The Wordy Shipmates" by Sarah Vowell and "The Book Thief" by Markus Zusak.

Player of the Season - Gareth Bale
It was a close run thing, but Gareth Bale just about edged out Robin van Persie to win the GMF Player of the Season award by a single vote.
The Spurs man has enjoyed an incredible season to date, combining moments of breath-taking brilliance with raw power and speed. It is no exaggeration to say that without him, his team would not be in the race for Champions League football as they are - his goals (19 and counting) have hauled Tottenham from the brink of defeat and delivered them to glory - and he may well have a final flourish to come in Spurs' last four games.

Where were you when Captain America died? Perhaps you were listening to the radio or reading the morning paper. Maybe you were surfing the web or on the phone with a friend. You were probably shocked, most likely thinking, "How could they? How could this happen to Cap?" And for a moment, you perhaps thought about all the ways the super soldier meant something to you. Something very real, very abiding.
Fallen Son the Death of Captain America follows the reaction of the legendary heroes' best friends and closest comrades as they struggle to work through the emotions stirred by the loss of their ally, and the stages of grief that make them confront the part they may have played in that loss. Wolverine. The Avengers. Hawkeye. Spider-Man. Iron Man. All have their own sense of loss, their own levels of grieving. This is their story. This is Cap's story. This is our story. The story of a Fallen Son and the world he helped make a better place.
Collecting Fallen Son: Wolverine, Fallen Son: Avengers, Fallen Son: Captain America, Fallen Son: Spider-Man and Fallen Son: Iron Man. Written by Jeph Loeb, pencilled by John Cassaday (who also provides the cover artwork), David Finch, Ed McGuinness, John Romita Jr. and Leinil Francis Yu.

Rapidly growing health care and pharmaceutical industries in the United States have led to an increase in the number of prescriptions filled each day. This had led to an increasing demand for trained pharmacy professionals, especially those who can take a more active role in patient care. This increase in prescriptions is the effect of health needs of an aging population, the availability of new drugs, and the steady increase of copay insurance programs. Pharmacy is the third largest health care profession (after nursing and medicine). Pharmacists are part of the health care team and are responsible for such things as drug therapy management, administration if drugs and vaccinations, and helping patients manage their chronic diseases. Pharmacists also play an active role in educating consumers, patients, and health care professionals on the use of prescription and over-the-counter medications, and provide expertise about the composition and properties of drugs. Good communication skills and advanced scientific knowledge are essential for pharmacists. In addition, business and management and as well as leadership skills help make for a successful pharmacist. Pharmacists work in a variety of settings such as community pharmacies, hospitals, managed care organizations, long-term care facilities, pharmaceutical companies and local, state, and federal government facilities.
Pharmacy programs offered by colleges and universities consist of five-six yearsof study. All schools and colleges of pharmacy operate under one of two plans: (1) a 1-2 years of pre-professional education preceding admission to the professional curriculum or (2) an integrated curriculum with all years of study in the profession college. Pre-professional education required for admission may be taken at an approved junior college or university. There are no longer any B.S. of Pharmacy programs in the U.S. (the last of these students graduated in 2004). Currently the doctor of Pharmacy (Pharm D.) degree is the only professional degree in pharmacy offered in the U.S. The Pharm. D. degree program requires at least 2 years of specific pre-professional (undergraduate) coursework followed by 4-academic years (or 3 calendar years) of professional pharmacy study. The majority of students enter a pharmacy program with 3 or more years of college experience. These programs provide students with the requirements to take the licensure examination of a state board of pharmacy in order to practice pharmacy.
A centralized service has now been implemented for students to apply to pharmacy schools in the U.S. This service, called The Pharmacy College Application Service (PharmCAS) is designed to facilitate application to U.S. schools of pharmacy. Applicants complete a single application and need one set of official transcripts to apply to multiple Pharm. D. programs. Note that there are still many schools of pharmacy that don't participate in PharmCAS. To learn more about PharmCAS and find out which school participate in the service, go to their website (http://www.pharmcas.org), e-mail them at email@example.com, or call 617-612-2050.
The website for the American Association of Colleges of Pharmacy, (http://www.aacp.org/), provides information about different professional degree
programs in pharmacy, different careers in pharmacy, useful applicant links, and an exhaustive list of colleges and schools of pharmacy.
If you are interested in pursuing a career in pharmacy, take into account the following deadlines/requirements as you prepare a 'tentative academic schedule' for your remaining years at Binghamton:
- Deadlines for required admissions tests (PCAT - Pharmacy College Admissions Test)*
- Required undergraduate (pre-professional) courses
- Application deadlines for various programs
- Internships and field observation recommended, program specific
* Different admissions tests are required for entry to different programs. More than half, but not all U.S. pharmacy schools require the PCAT. It is important that you contact individual programs and inquire about specific test scores and other admission requirements before you apply. Information about the PCAT is available at this URL (http://www.pcatweb.info/).
Admission requirements vary by pharmacy institution. Below is a list of some common college course prerequisites required to enter a U.S. school of pharmacy. However, students should review the requirements for each institution before applying since there is no set standard for required courses needed to gain acceptance to pharmacy school. School-specific information can be found in the AACP publication, "Pharmacy School Admission Requirements" (PSAR).
Online courses: Some professional schools do not accept online science courses, especially those with online labs. It is the student's responsibility to check the requirements for each school to which they are applying.

Kids grow like trees, so sometimes it feels like you're constantly cleaning out the closet to get rid of outgrown clothes, making room for new. And what to do with the old clothes? Maybe you have friends or family with younger kids to pass them off to. Or you drop them at the consignment shop. You might even donate them to charity. Whatever you do - it requires lugging around bags of clothes. And, if you're like me, they'll end up in your trunk where you promptly forget about them until you have a cart full of groceries and no room in the trunk.
There's a better way! It's called Kindermint. They send you a prepaid box, you fill it with your outgrown clothes and you send it back.

Khartoum — On the 20th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day celebrated on 3 May, the Sudanese Organization for Defending Rights and Freedoms (SODRF) has said that journalists in the country 'continue to face terrible abuses and censorship by authorities'.
For the second year running, Sudan occupies one of the worst positions in the press freedom index 2013 which was published in January by Reporters Without Borders, Sudan ranks 170th out of the 179 countries listed.
SODRF President , Dr Faroukh Mohamed Ibrahim, said that a number of journalists in Sudan have been subjected to assault, beatings, arrests, interrogation, torture and confiscation of their equipment such as cameras, cell phones, and computers. Websites and blogs have also been shut down.
"These developments contribute significantly to the continued decline in the human rights situation in Sudan", Ibrahim noted.
The recently released US "Sudan 2012 Human Rights Report" said that the Sudanese government, including the security forces, continued to arrest and torture journalists. He added that the Sudanese security services' imposed censorship on newspapers is an "unjust violation on the right guaranteed by the Sudanese Interim Constitution for the year 2005".
In its report, the US noted: "The interim national constitution provides for freedom of thought, expression and of the press 'as regulated by law'; however, the government severely restricted these rights."
In a statement, Dr Ibrahim drew attention to the systematic targeting and confiscation by security services of newspapers before and/or after printing. He listed these newspapers as: Al Midan, Al Aahdath, Al Tayyar, Rai Elshab, Al Wan, Al Khartoum, Al Sudani, Al Ahram Al Yoam, Akhbar Alyoam, Ajras Al Hurraya and Al Sahafa. "The chief editor of the latter was dismissed by security organs on 3 May last year," he added.
On the same day, security forces issued instructions to the printing works not to publish the Al Midan newspaper, owned by the Communist Party. The paper has been banned from printing ever since.
"Editors are obliged to fill special security forms including detailed personal data," Dr Ibrahim said. "These obstacles and restrictions aim at influencing the editorial policies of the newspapers."
These claims of censorship are supported in the US Human Rights report: "Authorities frequently subjected newspapers, especially those that were privately owned pro-opposition, to measures that prevented them from reporting on issues deemed sensitive."
The report continued: "Measures included direct prepublication censorship, confiscation of publications, legal proceedings, and denial of state advertising, inflicting financial damage on newspapers that were already pressed due to low circulation."
SODRF's head stressed that "pre-censorship on newspapers is a blow to the right of free expression and opinion as it weakened most of the content the press provided, and reflected negatively on the economic damage to the newspapers' distribution rates".
Confiscating newspapers after printing is designed to inflict loss on the publisher, which indicates that there is an organised campaign aimed at silencing those voices opposed to the regime, Dr Ibrahim said. It also ensures "absence of information on the violations that affect the freedom of expression and human rights alongside news of corruption etc."
With regard to the upcoming Press Act (cross-ref more info needed), he suggested that it is aimed at inflicting further repression and suppression on the freedom of expression and the press: "It's intended for totalitarian grip on press freedom."
UN: 'Most killings of journalists unpunished'
The UN announced that "more than 600 journalists have been killed in the last 10 years, many while reporting in non-conflict situations".
"A climate of impunity persists -nine out of 10 cases of killings of journalists go unpunished," said UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon and the Director General of Unesco Irina Bokova in a joint statement.
In 2012 alone, Ms. Bokova condemned the killings of 121 journalists, almost twice the annual figures of 2011 and 2010. They also noted how many media workers suffer from intimidation, threats, violence, arbitrary detention and torture, "often without legal recourse".
The Secretary General and Director General called on governments, societies and individuals to do their utmost to protect the safety of all journalists. Freedom of expression, enshrined in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, is essential for empowering individuals and building free and democratic societies, it was stated.
Unesco also noted that "building a culture to support press freedom is generally a lengthy process ... [that] can be lost in a matter of months when negative forces gain control of a country".
Press freedom rights 'not always respected' by government of South Sudan:
In its "South Sudan 2012 Human Rights Report", the US has highlighted that while the transitional Constitution of the country provides for freedom of speech and the press, "the government did not always respect these rights in practice".
While independent media in South Sudan included seven newspapers that were printed regularly, two that were printed less frequently, and seven radio stations. The report states that the government "occasionally attempted to impede criticism by arresting or detaining members of civil society who publicly criticized the government".
It also notes that "members of the media reported engaging in self-censorship out of fear of government retribution."
The US report cites several examples: Two politically focused radio shows on Bakhita Radio went off the air, government officials or individuals close to the government occasionally interfered in the publication of articles, and security forces commonly intimidated or detained journalists whose reporting on security issues was perceived as unfavourable to the military or the government.
Police banned photography in many urban areas or charged for photography permits. Security forces confiscated or damaged journalists' cameras and equipment and restricted their movements, the report said.
'This is a fight for press freedom,' journalist says from jail cell in Juba:
A newspaper editor has been detained in the capital of South Sudan for allegedly inciting violence. The journalist is being held at the Northern Division Police Headquarters in Juba, Radio Tamazuj reports.
Michael Koma is the managing editor of the Juba Monitor, a newspaper formerly known as Khartoum Monitor and headed by Alfred Taban.
The paper last Saturday was informed that the Deputy Minister of Interior Salva Mathok has brought a case against it for publishing a press release by the Nuer community of Mayom County, accusing the official of involvement in a crime.
Koma was informed of the case on Saturday and subsequently summoned to police offices on Monday and Wednesday, but not kept for long. Such repeated summons are a regular practice of security forces in South Sudan.
Upon reporting to the police office at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, Koma was detained and told he would be kept for 24 hours. "The conditions are very horrible," he told Radio Tamazuj in an interview.

Carroll's "family" makes Pirates elite
OCEANSIDE -- John Carroll demands a lot from his Oceanside High football players, with loyalty and intensity at the top of his list.
He expects no less from his assistant coaches.
"I'm a pretty intense guy, and I can't expect anyone to match that," Carroll said this week, as the Pirates prepared to meet North Coast Section champion Novato in Saturday's CIF State Football Championship Division II bowl game at Home Depot Center in Carson. "But I'd like them to come close.
"A lot of guys can coach. A lot of schools have great staffs, but you don't win four CIF (San Diego Section Division II) titles in a row without good players and good coaches to work with them.
"We have some great players, have had some great players, but most of our players are the same as the rest of the schools.
"I firmly believe that what separates us from the pack is my assistants. I have the best staff in San Diego. I know every head coach says that, but I believe it. My staff is a family. Other coaches know what I mean.
"We spend so much time together that if we don't get along, we're in deep trouble."
The backbone of the Oceanside staff is defensive line coach Ed Campbell, who has been with Carroll throughout the coach's 19-year tenure with the Pirates.
"Ed's my rock," Carroll said.
Rick Gerardi has coached the offensive line at Oceanside for the past 18 seasons. In that time, more than 20 of his players have gone on to play in college.
That list includes Joe Saleve'a, who went on to play in the NFL; Russell Tialavea, who is playing at Brigham Young; and Bobby Byrd, who just concluded a four-year career as a starter at Washington State.
Sam Brenner, a 6-foot-4, 280-pound senior on this year's team, will join the list next year. Brenner has orally committed to play at Utah.
"We were the North County's weak sister when I started here, and El Camino was king," Gerardi said. "But from the first day, I enjoyed working with John, Ed, and guys like Dave Barrett and Jim Gray and the kids here.
"John has so much enthusiasm it rubs off on everyone. And right from the start, I liked the direction the program was going.
"John won't settle for second place. Right from the start, he wanted to be better than OK."
Gerardi said Carroll's coaching savvy and philosophy have led to Oceanside's current run of four straight section titles as well as the team's 113-26-2 record over the past 11 seasons, an average of better than 10 wins per season.
"One of the keys for us has been consistency," Gerardi said. "We have had endless Pirates come back to help us, not just at the varsity level, but on the (junior varsity) and freshman teams as well as scouting opponents.
"From that, I have to think they had a good experience here."
Five of Carroll's varsity assistants played at Oceanside, including running backs coach Sean Turner, who has been with Carroll for 13 years, and special teams coach Aua Segi, who has been in the program the past nine seasons.

Good construction, look twice at fabric
By LA Businessman
from El Segundo, CA
The jacket itself was everything you hope for in the signature line. I found a great deal online and purchased this jacket. When I tried it on it fit great, tailored fit was awesome, but something about the fabric kept bothering me. Somehow the wool / silk weave leaves these little fuzzy ends as part of the weave of the material. The negative was that it gave the appearance the jacket was worn from much use, as if the fabric had taken a beating and was overworn, and that was not the look I wanted. I was super dissappointed because other than that I loved the jacket
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

David Concar's recent article 'Design your own personality' (12 March) points out that the antidepressant drug Prozac has plenty of listed side effects, including nausea and loss of libido. What the article fails to stress, however, is that the effects of taking Prozac for extended periods are still unknown.
According to the Physician's Desk Reference, the US Food and Drug Administration's record of reported drug side effects, Prozac's effectiveness has not been tested in controlled trials of 'more than five or six weeks'. The listed short-term side effects include skin rashes, production of breast milk, stomach ulcers, headaches, insomnia and paranoid reaction.

Player of the Year
Alex Lieske, Gilman, senior, attack: This tough 5-10, 160-pound Duke-bound senior was the Greyhounds' quiet thunder. "Alex doesn't say much, never complained when we asked him to hold the ball in critical situations instead of trying to score," said out-going coach John Tucker Gilman's third Player of the Year in his nine seasons. "Alex is tough, not afraid to take someone on, one-on-one, to score the big goal. He'll go around you or through you, whatever it takes. Though he ranked second in team scoring with 44 goals and 35 assists, Lieske (51 ground balls) "was completely unselfish until it was time to score the big goals," Tucker said.

It's Okay To Admit You're Worried About The Texans
Wait. I'm seriously concerned that the Steelers might lose to the Texans? "This is not my beautiful house... This is not my beautiful wife..."
It's not that I think the Steelers are uncapable or even all that unlikely to beat Houston. I've just yet to see the team put forth the kind of effort that I know that it should be on a weekly basis if it hopes to contend for another title. I know that's odd to say about a team that has won a game 24-0, but it's true. Perhaps we'll finally see different against the Texans. We may have to if the Steelers want to win.
Above all else, that means not turning the ball over. Pittsburgh has at the moment a league-worst -9 turnover differential. That might be a bit inflated from the -7 that came out of Week 1 alone, but you'd prefer they stay out of the negative over any span of time. Of course, the turnover issue can be blamed as much on protection issues, as it can on erratic play. Of course, that a fine preface for discussing how the team plans to deal with Mario Williams.
Jonathan Scott probably won't start, which would be welcome news if it weren't Trai Essex replacing him. Now, it were just Super Mario who was a threat to disrupt in the pass rush, I wouldn't worry so much, since you can just double team him with a tight end. But Texans defensive end Antonio Smith is so far having the makings of what could be a breakout season with three sacks through three weeks. Oh, and just to twist the knife a little more, let's not forget what happened the last time these teams faced off. Yes, the Steelers won handily, but Mario Williams came off the edge to crush Roethlisberger, a hit which resulted in a shoulder injury that dogged the quarterback for most of the '08 season.
There are two components to the turnover differential and the defense isn't contributing much more than the offense. Granted, the Steelers first takeaway of the season last week proved to be a mammoth factor in determining who won, but the fact that Steelers are even getting turnovers need not be a novelty. James Harrison and Polamalu are the only ones even getting close in most occasions. Someone like Timmons or maybe even Ziggy Hood is going to have to make those kind of splash plays as well.
Arian Foster appears likely to play for the first time this season, which doesn't bode incredibly well for a rush defense that has looked more vulnerable than it has in years, possibly since late in the 2007 season after Aaron Smith went down for the season. I doubt Foster will be entirely 100 percent when testing a hamstring injury that could be aggravated fairly easily, so I would expect the workload to still be predominately Ben Tate, who has been passable, if not spectacular in Foster's absence.
One positive is that despite racking up huge yardage, Houston has been fairly wretched in the red zone so far in 2011. They're 29th in red zone efficiency and were only 1-for-5 last week in the loss to New Orleans (even still, they managed to score 33 points). Obviously, you like a game not determined by whether the opposition is rolling up either threes or sevens on your team, but any edge is appreciated at the moment.
As for the dour preview, I'm still waiting for this team to dominate the way they're capable of doing. I know that's a shitty thing to say about a team with a winning record, but we all know that's padded by wins over two of the worst teams in the league the past two weeks, and a very narrow one at that last week. A loss to the Texans doesn't write the Steelers off entirely, but it will make you wonder when the team will finally get it going, or maybe whether if what we're getting is simply what we're gonna get.

Water Main Break Affects Busy Road
A water main break Wednesday near the frontier building in the 1500-block of MacCorkle Avenue in Charleston sent water shooting into the air, and was visible across the Kanawha River. Work crews were replacing light posts nearby when they hit the pipe. West Virginia American Water customers were not affected, but those crews were called out to fix the water main.

The article below has been selected from the extensive archives of the Online Aikido Journal. We believe that an informed readership with knowledge of the history, techniques and philosophy of aikido is essential to the growth of the art and its adherence to the principles espoused by Aikido Founder Morihei Ueshiba.
It was the late spring of 1920 that he moved to Ayabe. He was 37. Initially, they rented a two-story house in Ayabe, just outside the west gate of Omoto. The first thing the Founder did was to buy sixty bales of rice, enough to feed a family of six for two or three years. It sounds so much like him, to feel that as long as he had thus secured the supply of food for the family, he was free to do as he pleased. Soon after, on Master Deguchi's recommendation, they moved to another house beside a bamboo forest behind the old elementary school at the foot of Hongu (Main Hall) Mountain. Master Onisaburo said, "You are the person who will become the No. 1 budo man in Japan," explaining why he had chosen that particular location.
The Aikido Journal archives now include more than 800 articles in twenty different languages and numerous video clips. We are constantly adding new articles and translations in our effort to document aikido and related disciplines past and present.

Whisky flushed down the drain: Some 6,000 gallons of Scotch whisky was flushed down the drain in Scotland by accident.
Six thousand gallons of high-quality, top-dollar Scotch was accidentally flushed down the drain at a bottling plant, it was reported Thursday.
Workers at the Chivas Brothers in Dumbarton, Scotland, dumped the whisky by accident during a night shift while cleaning equipment, reported The Mirror.
In a statement, Chivas Brothers said that the flushing on Tuesday night is under investigation. "There has been no release of spirit to the River Leven or any other local water course," it said.
The Chivas Brothers plant employs around 600 workers and produces Ballantine's, which is the second-largest selling brand of whisky in the world.
"It was like someone turned on a tap and it just ran straight down the plughole," an insider at the plant told The Sun, describing the incident.
The insider added: "It happened on a night-shift washout—that's when the equipment is cleaned for a changeover between different products. Instead of draining the water and cleaning solution, they flushed out all the whisky. What's even more shocking is no one noticed until 11 a.m."
A spokesman with Scottish Water told the Daily Mail that staff at waste water treatment plants are looking into the problem.
"Discharging large volumes of alcohol into the sewer network can have an adverse impact on waste water treatment processes, particularly during dry, cold weather," a statement from the agency reads. "We are continuing to closely monitor our Dumbarton waste water treatment works to ensure treatment has not been compromised."

Community Sanitation Overview:
Water is supplied by a local stream and dam, originally constructed in 1927. Water is treated and piped into all homes. The city received $1.8 million from Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) for repairing water and wastewater transmission lines and impoundment, and another $90,000 from Village Safe Water for general repairs for FY14, which will be rolled over to FY15 and constructed the summer of 2015. Wastewater is piped to a community tank, with effluent discharge through an ocean outfall. Refuse is collected three times a week; a new landfill site and incinerator were recently completed.
RUBA Status & Activities This Qtr:
The City of Akutan requested assistance in meeting six sustainable indicators for the assessment of management capacity. Anchorage RUBA staff provided sample job descriptions for the position of city clerk, utility clerk and water operator, and an employee evaluation form. The Akutan assistant administrator asked for a preventative maintenance checklist to facilitate the reporting between the water operator and the city clerk. According to the last RUBA assessment the clerk is not receiving monthly O & M reports or status reports. RUBA staff advised the administrative assistant that the water operator certification expired 12/31/2014. The back-up operator is fully certified. RUBA staff provided the phone number of DEC Operation Certification and Training staff for additional information about future trainings. RUBA staff additionally reminded the community that the CCR for 2013 is due July 1 and should be submitted to each household and the Department of Environmental Health Drinking Water Program. Akutan administrative assistant reported that she had spoken with IRS assistance for city governments. IRS staff reported that the IRS had assessed Akutan's tax penalties as of April 21, 2014. Unfortunately, it was determined that the community was not due a $3,420 refund from 2011. The administrative assistant thanked RUBA staff for the contact information and stated that the city was satisfied that the penalty had been legitimized and they no longer had a credit on the account.
RUBA Activities for the Coming Qtr:
The administrative assistant requested a July on-site visit to complete the job descriptions and to discuss with the mayor the process of evaluating city employees. During the visit, RUBA staff will review the FY15 budget with the city clerk. As of July 1, the city staff will move the bookkeeping system to QuickBooks. RUBA staff will work with the utility operator to finalize a utility check list and monthly O&M report for the council and discuss the sustainable indicators addressing a safety manual and holding safety meetings.

The lead operator routinely inspects the water treatment facilities according to the operations and maintenance manual. The assistant administrator reported that the utility manager does not receive a monthly operations and maintenance report from the utility operator and does not routinely "spot check" the facility to see that maintenance is being completed. No record of safety meetings was provided. The utilities have not suffered any major problems or outages due to management issues that are still unresolved. The March report from the RMW reported that the water treatment plant was well cared for. The CCR for 2012 was distributed and the RMW is facilitating the 2013 report. The utility is listed on the April 2014 SNC list because of irregular flights and intermittent hovercraft service between Akun and Akutan island have resulted in sample shipment difficulties. The utility needs to sample for nitrate, total coliform, DSRD/MRDL, and VOC to return to compliance. In February 2014, Steve Evavold, Remote Maintenance Worker, Alaska Department of Environmental Conservation (ADEC) Operations Assistance Program, hand delivered the sample and stated the system was running well.

Alopecia areata is a type
hair loss that occurs when your
immune system mistakenly attacks
hair follicles, which is where hair growth begins. The damage to the follicle
is usually not permanent. Experts do not know why the immune system attacks the
follicles. Alopecia areata is most common in people younger than 20, but
children and adults of any age may be affected. Women and men are affected
Alopecia areata
usually begins when clumps of hair fall out, resulting in totally smooth, round
hairless patches on the scalp. In some cases the hair may become thinner
without noticeable patches of baldness, or it may grow and break off, leaving
short stubs (called "exclamation point" hair). In rare cases, complete loss of
scalp hair and body hair occurs. The hair loss often comes and goes—hair will
grow back over several months in one area but will fall out in another
When alopecia areata results in patches of hair loss, the
hair usually grows back in 6 months to 1 year.3
Although the new hair is usually the same color and texture as the rest of the
hair, it sometimes is fine and white.
About 10% of people with
this condition may never regrow hair.1 You are more
likely to have permanent hair loss if you:
Because hair is an important part of appearance, hair
loss can result in feeling unattractive.
In some people with
alopecia areata, the fingernails and toenails become pitted—they look as if a
pin had made many tiny dents in them. They may also look like sandpaper.
Alopecia areata cannot be "cured" but it can be treated. Most people who
have one episode will have more episodes of hair loss.
Alopecia areata
is diagnosed through a medical history and physical examination. Your doctor
will ask you questions about your hair loss, look at the pattern of your hair
loss, and examine your scalp. And he or she may tug gently on a few hairs or
pull some out.
If the reason for your hair loss is not clear, your
doctor may do tests to check for a disease that could be causing your hair
loss. Tests include:
Because hair usually grows back
within a year, you may decide not to treat alopecia areata.
If you
choose not to treat the condition and wait for your hair to grow back, you may
wish to:
The most common treatment for patchy hair loss is many
injections of
corticosteroids into the scalp, about
1 cm (0.4 in.) apart, every 4
to 6 weeks. Limited research reports that hair grows back at the site of
injection in some people.2
Children and
some adults may be treated with topical corticosteroids that are applied to the
affected skin. Minoxidil (Rogaine) may be used along with topical
Contact immunotherapy may be the most effective
treatment for severe alopecia areata.3 A medicine is
"painted" on the scalp once a week. This irritates the skin and makes it red
and scaly. Hair growth may appear within 3 months of beginning treatment.
Studies have shown that half or more of those with severe alopecia areata had a
good response, but how much hair grew back varied widely.2, 4 Side
effects of contact immunotherapy include a severe rash (contact dermatitis) and swollen
lymph nodes, especially in the neck.
Psoralen with ultraviolet A light (PUVA) therapy may
also be used to treat alopecia areata. PUVA usually is reserved for people who
have large areas of skin affected by the disorder or who cannot use other
treatments. For PUVA, a medicine, called a psoralen, is used to make the skin
more sensitive to ultraviolet A (UVA) light. Then the skin is exposed to UVA
areata does not affect you as another condition might: it is not painful, it
does not make you feel sick, and it does not result in serious health problems.
You cannot spread it to other people, and it should not interfere with school,
work, or recreation.
But if hair loss is making you feel
unattractive, it is important to talk to someone about it. A counselor can
help, as can talking to other people with the same condition.

Three Hours After Marriage was the fourth play Gay wrote and the second, after The What D'Ye Call It (see separate entry), to meet with any significant degree of success, playing to packed houses for seven successive nights, the largest number of consecutive performances at Drury Lane that season, after its first performance on 16 January 1717. It then ran into critical hostility for its alleged obscenity and vindictiveness and was withdrawn by the theatre's management virtually to disappear from the stage for almost 280 years until the Royal Shakespeare Company's revival at Stratford in May 1996. The play grew out of the meetings of the Scriblerus Club (Jonathan Swift, Alexander Pope, Dr John Arbuthnot, Thomas Parnell …

Is it OK to kiss a girl's hand in a gentle way ?
There is a girl that I really like , I am planning to go and tell her that I love her and I was thinking to kiss her hand in gentle way after I tell... Show More
Most Helpful Opinion
It depends on the culture you guys are from. If you come from a place where it's normal to do/expect that kind of behavior, then yeah sure, it should be okay. If there is any question in your mind about whether or not it's culturally acceptable- AVOID it like the plague (especially on a first date).
General rule of thumb is no physical contact on the first date (or declaration in your case).
Do NOT tell her you love her right off the bat unless you want to make it awkward as hell. Does she even know you like her? You'd do well to make sure it's not just infatuation before declaring you love someone. When you do that, both peoples' feelings get put on the line & it's easy to back someone into a corner with that kind of behavior.
First it is the 4th date , but I think she will not expect that from me but at the same time I think she will like it
Second I think she loves me back from how she treat me and how she tells me in an indirect way
Third I know her from a year + , but I didn't take her phone number and got close to each other except from a month
So what do you think ?
What Girls Said 4
I think it's kind of cute in a romantic cheesy way, but I think kissing her on the cheek would be better. And AFTER you tell her how you feel and you see how she feels about you. And don't say "love". It's okay to say that you've liked her since the moment you met or things like that but I don't know if you should tell her you love her right away.
It depends on how long you have known each other. If you just met her like a few weeks ago it might freak her out, unless your relationship has been intense then she might be feeling the same. I think kissing her hand is good idea, especially in a gentle way, this will initiate the idea that something intimate is happening, especially if she has no idea that you love her and you guys are just close friends

Australian smart grid investments at a standstill
Some Australian utilities have already invested in their smart grid implementations, but are hesitant to go any further.
So far, their real-world smart grid application pilots have proved unsatisfactory and leave questions regarding payback periods. As a result, smart grid growth in Australia will be stymied, according to Frost & Sullivan.
The news is not all bad, however. Frost says that demand is likely to pick up after 2015 as power companies experiment and improve roll-out results.
"The disaggregated structure of the Australian power transmission, distribution and retail industries poses a challenge for smart grid deployment," said Frost & Sullivan Energy & Power Systems Senior Consultant Sarah Wang. "While power distribution companies owned by the state governments actively encourage consumers to reduce peaks in energy demand, privately-owned retail companies build peaking generators to meet energy demand, thus inhibiting the full utilization of smart grids."
An even bigger smart grid challenge is that there is not one-size-fits-all solution.
"Vendors must collaborate closely with utilities and actively experiment with various solutions, installing sensors and monitors at substation transformers and poles. Resorting to pay-as-you-go meters instead of selling off-the-shelf solutions is another option," said Wang. "They need to examine and enhance existing infrastructure, including automating networks using supervisory control and data acquisition and communication systems."

Have you ever taken a home video and thought, "Hmm, this could really use some dinosaurs." Well, I haven't either. However, I might start thinking that way now that I know how to add them. The cute baby crawling along the floor? I can add a beetle to terrorize him. Those sweet children running along the sidewalk on their first day of school? Now, they're running in fear from a T-Rex. Primeval: dFX could help you with that.
Primeval dFX is a universal app that lets you add dinosaur effects to the movies that you are creating. These effects are ready-made movies that the app adds over your movie. You hit record, and then you start the effect when you're ready. You have a red outline to act as your guide.
The red line doesn't move like the dinosaur would. It's a stationary guide meant more for height and dimension than it is for guiding how people in your movie interact with the dinosaur. The best thing you can do is to take a video of just the dinosaur so that you get a feel for how it moves. Then, you can take a video with the people added once you know what to expect.
You can't go through your old wedding videos and add dinosaurs to them. As awesome and amazing as that would be, you can't do it. You can only use a fresh video. I would recommend that you not add dinosaurs to any friend's wedding that you are entrusted to video. The bride might become scarier than the raptor.
There are eight different dinosaur effects that you can use. When you download the app for free there are two that you can use. There are six other effects that you have to pay for. However, if you want to unlock all of the dinosaurs, it costs $3.99. You do have the option to buy each dinosaur effect separately, but unless you want only one other dinosaur, then you should probably just unlock them all.
Primeval: dFX is available in the App Store for the awesome price of FREE!
