Ms. Duncan is the head of Rhode Island's first expeditionary learning, public chartered high school. Ms. Duncan holds a Master's degree in Secondary Science Education, a Bachelor's degree in Geosciences and a lifetime Science teaching certificate. In addition to her almost 30 years experience as an educator, leader and administrator, Ms. Duncan also holds an Environmental Educator's certificate.
With a focus on environmental education, Ms. Duncan's teaching background is centered on making learning meaningful for all young adults. Among the many teaching and educational positions held, Ms. Duncan has taught middle and high school science, hasserved as planetarium director, director of an environmental resource center in North Carolina, and has drafted curriculum for existing and new school programs. Recently completing her fifteenth year as an educational leader, Ms. Duncan has latterly worked to start three new schools, each with a strong environmental bias, with the most recent being The Greene School.
Of Ms. Duncan's many accomplishments she proudly served as an educator in Uganda to facilitate Conservation Education for teachers. She has also received numerous awards for her work as an environmental and science educator. More importantly however, she brings a wealth of experience and passion as an educator and administrator to Rhode Island, where under her stewardship, she has taken the expeditionary learning philosophy and grown it such that graduates of The Greene School are assureda productive future where environmental responsibility and green technology will be key to the development and growth for their future success.
"The most effective teachers and school leaders do not think of what they do as a job, but rather as a calling or a cause. It takes collective passion and perseverance to make a great school."
I am incredibly honored and excited to be a part of The Greene School Community!
I am a native Rhode Islander with fifteen years of public high school teaching experience. Certifications in both Special Education and Mathematics have given me a diverse understanding of the various types of learners, and the strategies needed to allow every student to reach his/her full potential. In addition to teaching, I have been an active member of school leadership teams, participated in curriculum and assessment development, and mentored new teachers. I realize it takes an entire school community- including teachers, staff, students, parents, and community members all working towards the vision and mission of a school to make a school great.
I love the environmental and 21st Century skill-set focus of The Greene School, and think our students have an amazing opportunity here to enrich their education through local and global stewardship. The passion and dedication of the entire Greene School community is already apparent to me, and cannot wait to work with everyone as we all strive to make TGS the best it can be.
Lisa has been with The Greene School for two years as our Buisness Manager. This year she is also in the role of Human Resources manager.
"I am excited and honored to be part of The Greene School community. The philosophy and mission of the school fit perfectly with my own passion for animals (especially dogs!) and with my respect for the earth."
Karen graduated from RI College in 1986 and began her career at RCA Evaluation and Treatment Center in Cranston working with adjudicated youth in a locked facility. From there, she accepted a position at Johnson & Wales University where she stayed for eleven years. Karen was fortunate to join the University at a time of tremendous growth and was able to grow along with them holding positions in the Student Success Department, Residential Life, the Office of the Dean of Students and the Athletics Department. She also worked on her advanced studies during those years and received her Master of Science degree in 1990 from the University of Rhode Island in Human Development, Counseling and Family Studies. After J&W, Karen accepted a guidance counselor position at St. Mary Academy-Bay View which was her alma mater. During this time Karen also began to formulate a goal which developed from her passion of loving animals. After three years, she left Bay View and opened Bone Appetit Dog Bakery in East Greenwich. However, Karen missed education so she sold the shop and accepted a guidance position at North Kingstown High School. Karen joined The Greene School in August, 2012. She is a proud vegetarian and loves siberian huskies. She has had siberians since she was in the 7th grade and currently has a 6 year old siberian rescue from Tennessee named Lacey. Karen and Lacey reside in Exeter.
"I hold a deep belief that critical thought is the most indispensable quality of a self-governing society, and therefore public education must be recognized as the heart of a functioning democracy."
Mr. Brendan Haggerty is one of two science teachers at The Greene School, where he teaches chemistry. Armed with a Bachelor's degree in environmental studies and education, and a personality that inspires a thirst for learning, Mr. Haggerty is undoubtedly one of The Greene School's strongest advocates of expeditionary learning. Of specific interest is his own training and background, which has resulted in his firm belief in experiential education; a process where students are immersed in direct learning through field work – and these learning experiences relate back to the classroom experience –a learning process that students gain exposure to through the expeditionary learning philosophy at The Greene School.
Before joining The Greene School, Mr. Haggerty taught at an expeditionary learning school in Arizona, but his desire to return to his New England roots, and its diverse ecosystems and landscapes led him to embrace the unique opportunity to serve students in the State of Rhode Island, where The Greene School is the first and only expeditionary learning, chartered public high school.
Entering his seventh year of teaching, Mr. Haggerty is also certified to teach earth science and chemistry. In addition to regular classroom activities, Mr. Haggerty is the senior project coordinator at The Greene School.
"I am jazzed to be in New England, to be back in the land of stonewalls, water, and early American history. Strong community has always been the constant in my life and I am thrilled to be beginning another year here at The Greene School."

"An environment-based education movement--at all levels of education--will help students realize that school isn't supposed to be a polite form of incarceration, but a portal to the wider world." ― Richard Louv, Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder
Mr. Logan Bonney is the 9th and 10th grade history teacher at The Greene School. After graduating from Radford University in Virginia with a Bachelors of Science in the social sciences with a teaching certificate, he moved to Vermont where he worked in the public school system for four years. Mr. Bonney moved to Rhode Island in 2013 to attend graduate school, earning a Master of Arts in Teaching for social studies/history from Brown University. While in Vermont, Mr. Bonney developed a passion and respect for outdoor recreation which he hopes to exercise during Greene School fieldwork, wilderness, and intensive activities. As one of the newest members of the Greene School team, Mr. Bonney is excited to work within the rigorous and engaging Expeditionary Learning framework while examining important historical topics and key academic skills. His World and U.S. history courses will benefit from a close interaction with the rich, cultural, and historical landscape of Rhode Island.

Before coming to The Greene School, Ms. Carvalho taught abroad in Athens and Thessaloniki, Greece, where she took her students to the summit of Mt. Olympus and to various cities throughout Europe for parliamentary debate competitions. Relocating back to Rhode Island has been an amazing experience for her, as she strives to endow The Greene School students with the same sense of wonder and inquiry that carried her across the world.

|Celtics put Kendrick Perkins, Avery Bradley and Semih Erden on inactive list
|10.25.10 at 8:36 pm ET
The Celtics had already trimmed their roster to the league limit of 15 players, but their opening night roster is now official as they placed three players on the inactive list: Kendrick Perkins, Avery Bradley and Semih Erden. The Celtics will have to play the first 10 games of the NBA with just 11 active players because of Delonte West's suspension. League rules dictate that suspended players must be carried on the active roster.
The inactive list is not like injury lists in other sports. Players don't actually have to be injured to be on it and there is no mandatory amount of time that a player has to stay on it once he is deemed inactive. It can also change from game to game. There were no surprises for the Celtics. Perkins and Bradley are rehabbing injuries, while Erden is dealing with a shoulder injury.
The Heat had a minor surprise as they placed Mario Chalmers on the injured list along with Mike Miller, who is out until January with hand injury, and rookie Dexter Pittman.
|Practice report: The Celtic way
|10.11.10 at 3:42 pm ET
It was a half hour or so after practice had concluded and Kevin Garnett was finished with his customary individual workout. As he looked up from his own efforts, Garnett saw Semih Erden going through the paces on pick and roll defense. Garnett called over to assistant coach Kevin Eastman and asked him to, "get Luke," as in Harangody, the Celtics other rookie big man.
Dripping with sweat and slightly out of breath, Garnett gathered the two together and began a tutorial as only Garnett can. He wanted them to talk loud. No, louder. Let there be no doubt which way they were showing, Garnett told them in no uncertain terms.
Erden had been too quiet on Sunday against the Raptors, and in one instance he let Rajon Rondo get steamrolled by a screen. The lesson took no more than 10 minutes and left little time for pleasantries or niceties. That's just fine with Harangody who relishes this kind of attention from Garnett.
"He's not really yelling," Harangody said after the Raptors game. "He's teaching. I like that, to be honest."
"He helps the ones he likes," Doc Rivers said. "Kevin is great. Kevin tries to help every big in here. If that big doesn't listen to him one time, he'll never speak to him again. Literally one time. That has happened a couple of times. Those two guys that he did that to are no longer here and that may be one of the reasons. That's Kevin, when you talk about the Celtic Way, whatever that is, just say Kevin Garnett, and you're pretty much there. Everything he does and says is about the team."
Garnett's little demonstration was a perfect example of the "Celtic Way," for lack of a better phrase. It has been standard operating procedure around this team since Garnett arrived with Ray Allen and set about with Rivers and Paul Pierce "changing the culture," to use another over-worked cliche.
"It's not for everyone," Rivers said. Read the rest of this entry »
|Celtics sign Semih Erden
|07.05.10 at 1:54 pm ET
The Celtics signed center Semih Erden of Turkey, the team announced on Monday. Erden was drafted by the Celtics with the 60th pick in 2008.
The 7-foot, 240-pound big man averaged 8.2 points and 5.1 rebounds per game for Fenerbahce Ulker this past season en route to the Turkish League championship.
Erden is on the Celtics Summer League roster and will play for Turkey in the 2010 FIBA World Championships.
The Celtics are in need of a big man following the injury of Kendrick Perkins.
|Turkish center Semih Erden on summer league roster
|07.02.10 at 3:04 pm ET
The Celtics announced their roster for the Orlando Summer League and there is a very intriguing name on it: Turkish center Semih Erden.
Danny Ainge suggested before the draft that the time may be right for Erden to play in the NBA. The Celtics have held his rights since selecting him late in the second round of the 2008 draft. Erden could have a role on the 2010-11 Celtics, who are starved for height.
Erden will be joined by Tony Gaffney and Oliver Lafayette, who joined the team late in the season. Their contracts are not guaranteed for next season and a strong showing in the summer league is a first step toward earning a roster spot.
Second round pick Luke Harangody will also play, but first round pick Avery Bradley will not. He will have a scope performed on his left ankle and is scheduled to be out six to eight weeks.
Here's the full roster with games scheduled to begin Monday.

|Celtics draft pick Erden helps Turkey in EuroBasket
|09.12.09 at 9:36 pm ET
The Boston Celtics 2008 second round draft pick Semih Erden has yet to play in an NBA game, but he has already defeated one of the Los Angeles Lakers. On Saturday he helped Turkey defeat Pau Gasol and the Spanish team in the EuroBasket 2009 Group F qualifying round.
The 6-11 center led the team with six rebounds and scored 11 points, including two free throws that secured Turkey's 63-60 victory over Spain. He also contributed two rebounds, an alley-oop from Hedo Turkoglu, a block, and a steal in the final five minutes of the back-and-forth match up. Turkey remains undefeated (3-0) and plays Serbia on Monday.
Erden was selected by the Celtics with the 60th pick in the 2008 NBA Draft. He averaged 6.6 points and 4.1 rebounds with Fenerbahce Ulker last season.

In this article I will try to recommend supplements that we should all be taking and explain the science behind it. If you're new to my website, roll your mouse over the links to see more supplemental information that are often cross-linked to my science-articles for further explanation.
First of all, I know these products cost money. They don't cost too much (<$1/day) but it's still something. Fortunately for us, there is almost no connection between price and quality. Many inexpensive multivitamins (from 3 to 14 cents per day) passed every test in a recent ConsumerLab report. At the same time, several relatively expensive products (from 50 cents to over $1 a day) failed to pass!
The product recommendations I make are products that I've researched to be the most inexpensive and most effective to save you money. I don't want you to spend more money than you need to. There is no point in buying something that costs 50 cents a tablet if the one that costs 14 cents works just as good, if not better!
And last but not least, you shouldn't rely on a capsule to get your nutrition but with mineral depletion in commercial farmlands and the fact that most people can't eat a perfectly well rounded diet everyday, this stuff is great insurance. This is one of the great benefits of living in the 21st century and I intend to make full use of it.

Collagen is a fibrous protein that makes up about 25%-35% of the protein content of your body. This is what gives everything form, strength, structure and elasticity. As we age our collagen production goes down. This is why a teenager has very tight skin but a senior citizen has sagging skin and has developed wrinkles.
About 75% of all your connective tissue (CT) is made up of collagen.
Connective tissue includes…
- Skin
- Tendons (CT that connects muscle to bone)
- Ligaments (CT that connects bone to bone)
- Cartilage
- Nails
- Hair
- Gums
- Bones
- The discs between your vertebrae
- The cornea in your eye
- Even the external sheath surrounding all your blood vessels are made of collagen.
- In terms of lung mechanics, collagen is the most important factor in determining elastic recoil at high lung volumes.
Antranik's Recommendation
This is one of those products I've actually felt the effects of. I believe it was one of the main reasons why I got rid of my "tennis elbow" completely! (I'll be writing an article on ways to help get rid of tennis elbow real soon, actually.) This collagen powder is the good stuff. It's cold processed (unprocessed collagen can't be absorbed) and comes from grass-fed beef. The reviewers across the board all mention their skin looking more youthful in a matter of days or weeks.
Tip: The directions are to take it on an empty stomach. Some people think that means it's best to take it before breakfast. However, it's much more ideal to take it in the evening before you sleep so your body can use the protein to recover throughout the night as you sleep to rest.
Misconception Alert: There are many expensive cosmetic anti-wrinkle creams on the market containing collagen. Unfortunately, those do nothing to boost collagen in the skin because it is too large a molecule to be absorbed topically. To stimulate collagen production it must happen from the inside out, starting with our diet and supplementation!
The amino acid that is not high in muscle tissue but very high in collagen is called glycine. Research shows that glycine (the amino acid that makes the most of collagen) is immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory and cytoprotective. It also seems effective at protecting the stomach mucosa against stress and chemically-induced ulcers. (Sources: here and here) There is also some evidence that glycine intake before bed may improve both the quality and efficacy of sleep. (Sources: here and here). If you would like to read more about this, physiologist Ray Peat explains how our excess consumption of muscle-tissue, laden with tryptophan (the precursor to serotonin) signals the formation of cortisol, a stress-induced hormone. However, when we balance our amino acid profile with glycine-rich foods (like collagen made from gelatin), it acts as an inhibitory neurotransmitter and has many antistress actions.
2. Vitamin C
Vitamin C is necessary for the growth, development and repair of all body tissues. You've probably also heard that it's a very powerful antioxidant. It is also a major component of aiding the immune system during stress. Stress is something that's very common in our society and vitamin C is the first nutrient to be depleted in not just stressed people but also alcoholics, smokers, and obese individuals.
Vitamin C (aka ascorbic acid) helps support the creation of collagen we just talked about. All that "connective tissue" listed above (such as cartilage, skin, etc) needs Vitamin C to stay healthy!
Something fun to think about in regards to your lung capacity:
Your ribs don't attach directly to your sternum (breastbone). They are connected by bars of cartilage called costal cartilage. You could feel this on your body. If your cartilage is degrading due to a lack of collagen production (due to lack of dietary supplementation or age), then your rib cage will get smaller. If your rib cage is collapsing, your lungs will have less space to expand in. Conversely, if the rib cage is properly supported and it's large, your lungs will have more room to expand. So, depending on your age, another benefit of all this Vitamin C can possibly be increased lung volume and capacity.
Antranik's Recommendation
We often see vitamin C in tablet form but taking it in the powdered form is the best choice because that has the best bioavailability. In other words, your body actually absorbs more of it and can use it without it going to waste! It's also a good idea to get all the Vitamin C you can from as many different sources as possible. This means fruits and vegetables. But it's just not practical to consume the required servings needed on a consistent basis. Besides, only 10% to 20% of adults get the recommended 9 servings of fruits and veggies daily!
I recommend this product because this is Vitamin C in the powdered form and it's pretty inexpensive. Half a teaspoon of this stuff is 2,500mg (2.5 grams) of Vitamin C.
3. Multivitamins
A multivitamin is a MUST to take. I don't care how healthy and well-rounded you think you eat. A study of 3 million people (that's a huge sample size) revealed that less than 1% of the participants got enough essential vitamins from diet alone. That's why you must take a multivitamin.
I have sorted through and chosen the following supplements only if they were highly rated in Lyle MacWilliam's "Nutrisearch Comparative Guide to Nutritional Supplements" and the MultiVitamin Guide.
All of these recommendations have the methylcobalamin-form of B12 which is the one that can actually be absorbed in your body (as opposed to the cyano-version).
Antranik's Multivitamin Recommendation for Men and Postmenopausal Women
|Life Force Multiple Capsules by Source Naturals ($0.13/cap)
|ADAM Superior Mens Multivitamin by NOW Foods ($0.15/softgel).
|This product is extremely comprehensive. On the bottle it recommends taking two or more per day, but even taking just one seems to do the trick! Just check out the reviews.
|This is a very highly rated product as well. The difference is, this is a gel cap and may be easier to swallow than the Source Naturals capsule.
Antranik's Multivitamin Recommendation for Pre-Menopausal Women
The main thing that makes a multivitamin different for women of reproductive age is their need for iron because that is their most common nutritional deficiency. The items above have 6mg of Iron but the one below has 18mg.
Nature Made Multi For Her has 18mg of Iron (100% daily recommended value) and folic acid with excellent reviews.
Iron is a mineral that helps the body make red blood cells. Without enough iron, the body can't produce the number of red blood cells it needs. This condition, called iron deficiency anemia, is a concern because red blood cells carry oxygen to the body's tissues. Without enough red blood cells, body tissues may not be able to get enough oxygen to stay healthy.
- The most common cause of iron deficiency anemia is due to blood loss from a woman's menses, especially if they have heavy flow.
- Another reason for iron deficiency is not enough iron in a persons diet or a lack of absorption. This, coupled with the menstrual cycle makes having a supplement with iron a very good idea.
The need for iron goes away once you hit menopause because there is no natural way for the body to get rid of iron without the blood loss from the menstrual cycle. However, after menopause it's imperative to take a Calcium supplement and that's discussed further below.
Tip: Always strive for a well-balanced diet that includes iron-rich foods such as beef and other meats, beans, lentils, iron-fortified cereals, dark green leafy vegetables and dried fruit. This is the best way to get the iron your body needs.
4. Fish Oil (Omega 3 Fats)
Are you taking your fish oil with a meal? You should be. Not only is fish oil supposed to be good for your joints, just like the collagen, but several studies have reported its anti-cancer effects particularly for breast, colon and prostate cancer! There are even reports that show a positive link between fish oil and mental health (schizophrenia, depression, and so forth).
Antranik's Recommendations
All of these are purported to be excellent. They just vary in price (go figure!)
|Least expensive version (I take this)
|More expensive version
|Most expensive version
|Nature Made Fish Oil Omega-3 ($0.05/gel)
|Carlson Super Omega-3 Fish Oils ($0.14/gel)
|Nordic Naturals Ultimate Omega ($0.26/gel)
ProTip: I don't experience "fish burps" because I eat it with my meals but if you do, the simple solution is to simply keep the bottle of fish oil in the freezer.
5. Calcium (especially for menopausal women)
Calcium is a mineral found in our bones and teeth and is also a coenzyme needed for muscle contraction. It's a very necessary supplement for strong, healthy muscles, bones and teeth. You need to take it in combination with magnesium (to prevent the negative side effects of calcium) and vitamin D (to help the body absorb calcium) in order to get the maximum benefit.
To get the maximum benefit, the calcium should also be taken with Vitamin D3 and Magnesium. Why?
- Vitamin D: The body needs Vitamin D to absorb calcium. And magnesium helps prevent the calcium from causing constipation. Most of us don't get enough Vitamin D from sunlight, especially in northern climates (or if you are dark-skinned, too). Vitamin D may also play a role in preventing certain cancers, including colon, uterine, breast and endometrial cancers.
- Magnesium: Calcium if taken alone can cause constipation, but taking it with magnesium helps prevent that from occurring.
- Zinc: Many important interactions occur between calcium and zinc but the most interesting part about their connection is that we need calcium to absorb zinc. (Similar to how we need vitamin D to absorb calcium.) Another way of thinking about this is: If you don't have enough calcium, you can't absorb zinc. But other than its link with calcium, zinc is one of the very few things we have scientific proof for actually reducing the duration of a common cold. (Source here and here)
Antranik's Recommendation
Kirkland Signature Calcium Citrate has Calcium with Vitamin D3, Magnesium and Zinc all together!!!
Women of menopausal age should get 1,200mg of calcium every day. If you aren't getting that through the diet, then it's a good idea to take a supplement that will take care of that. And it's most likely you aren't unless you eat lots of dairy. The reason osteoporosis is very common in women is because as women go through menopause, their estrogen decreases. Estrogen is what prevents the calcium from leaving the bone. What causes menopause, is a decline in estrogen, so once they hit menopause, LOTS of bone mass could be (and does become) lost. Unfortunately, as estrogen declines, not only does calcium deplete but absorption from foods decreases as well. A calcium supplement can help slow down this calcium loss.
Side Note: While I have your attention, please read about why it's imperative for women to exercise in their 20's and 30's.
What makes your bones strong is exercise. Your muscles are connected to your bones with tendons. When the muscles contract, the tendons tug on the bone. When the bone gets tugged on, that sends signals for your bone to strengthen itself. Your bone is living tissue and there is a constant remodeling process going on. If you are a woman in your 20's and 30's, it is highly recommended you exercise if you aren't doing so already! Since your estrogen levels are normal, it prevents a negative calcium balance and you can strengthen bones much better than in old age. This exercise at the young age is what makes the difference between someone developing osteoporosis at the age of 50 versus 100. By the way, osteoporosis affects 55% of Americans aged 50 and above. (80% of these are women!) So the moral of the story is: EXERCISE!
And finally, understand why more is NOT better.
Please do NOT take more than the recommended dosages just because you think "more is better." This is one of the lessons that Americans don't understand. The body works optimally when we have the right amount, nothing less or more than normal.
For example:
- We all need cholesterol because it's the backbone to all our hormones but too much of it and it may cause heart attacks.
- We all need salt but too much of it may cause bloating and hypertension.
- We all need sugar but too much of it and we can ruin our insulin sensitivity and overtime develop diabetes.
- We all need fat (lipids) because the outer membrane of every cell in your body is made up of a phospholipid bilayer but an excess consumption of it can lead to more adipose tissue.
Similarly, with supplements, you only need a certain amount of it. A lot of people say, "Who cares, you'll just piss out the excess." But that's not true. You could get toxic on vitamins and minerals!
There are water-soluble vitamins and fat-soluble vitamins. Water soluble vitamins can be excreted by your kidneys. Vitamins A, D, E and K, however, are fat-soluble vitamins. They don't get excreted by your kidneys. That means they can accumulate in your cells. (Remember that phospholipid bilayer that surrounds your cells? Fat-soluble vitamins can go through that and into your cells.) So yes, it's possible to overdose on VITAMINS by taking too much of them. They aren't a joke.
Same thing goes for minerals such as iron. The body has no way of getting rid of iron. Women of reproductive age need this because they lose iron when they lose blood during the menstrual cycle. But again, if someone starts taking too much of it, they can get toxic on it!
Hope you found that insightful and helpful! Please leave your thoughts and comments below. And share this with the people you care about.

DEAF people and language students could learn to produce difficult speech sounds more accurately using a technique being developed at the University of New South Wales in Sydney. People learning a new language find certain vowel sounds hard to master, and vowels can be particularly tricky for people with hearing problems.
The Australian system displays a moving two-dimensional image on a computer screen of the mouth shape and tongue position of a speaker pronouncing a sound properly. At the same time it monitors the position of the student's tongue and mouth as they try to pronounce the sound, and displays it next to the target image. Students try to make their image match that of the target. So even without hearing it, they will eventually pronounce the sound very accurately. "It's a bit like a video game," says Joe Wolfe of the development team.
The system works out the position ...

Original Post:
Please review the rules you agreed to when you signed up for your account with these forums. Pay special attention to rules 2, 6, and 7.
After some further investigation, the variance between haste values and mastery values doesn't appear to be linked to the 2pc, but rather the use of Plague Leech/Blood tap vs unholy blight/runic empowerment. Changing these spec choices seems to relatively drastically alter the values of haste and mastery.
I would link my results, but until asked I'll leave them out to prevent confusion (no sense bringing another profile into the mix, and it would probably be better discussing the differences based on the BiS profile as opposed to my personal profile). However, as far as my own personal gear setup is concerned, I'd like to hear opinions of why haste would be so much more valued with RE then with BT. My best guess is the interaction benefits, but the data is quite skewed because I am not seeing in game what sim craft is suggesting with haste having a higher value then mastery.
For example with identical gear/stats, only changing the spec:
Str: 3.25
Haste: 1.50
Mastery 1.29
RP In\out: 6.9
Waiting: 12.69%
Str: 3.4
Haste: 1.28
Mastery: 1.39
RP In/Out: 7.2
Waiting: 4.39
Only thing I can imagine is that the abilitiy BT provides from having the rune on demand, as opposed to RE's random chance, that creates the void and therefor devalues the haste. I'd appreciate anyone else's theories.
So with this setup, are we gemming/reforgeing the way 2H'ers are? I just switched to DW but i've gotten so used to UB/RE

Would Miley Cyrus stoop this low?
Life & Style is reporting that Miley had the hots for Christian rocker Sam Hancock, who was dating MC's half-sister Brandi Cyrus from 2008-2010.
"She was trying to hook up with him and date him," tattles Brandi's pal to the gossip mag. "She was basically trying to steal her sister's boyfriend, or at least cheat with him."
"I've seen Miley hit on other boyfriends of Brandi's," says the insider. "To be honest, I've seen her hit on her friends' boyfriends as well. To be her friend or her sister, you just have to put up with her acting inappropriately like that. That is how she is."
This is a juicy story and all, but is it true? Other insiders say it's completely false. And Sam even told the mag that Miley was "nothing more than a little sister to me."
What do you think, dolls? There's always a truth and a lie to every story with opposing sides. Which one do you think this is?

Have the Eagles assembled the "Dream Team," or is this another fantasy football roster built to disappoint?
That's just one of the pressing questions heading into this NFL season.
A few of the others:
Did the lockout truly favor those teams with an established coach and quarterback?
Or can the teams that really had to cram in this compressed offseason make the grade?
Will the Peyton Manning saga be a pain in the neck for the Colts all season?
The Seahawks made the 2010 playoffs at 7-9; is the NFC West still the NFC Worst?
The Panthers' Cam Newton looked very good in the preseason. Will this top pick follow in the cleat-steps of fellow No. 1s Sam Bradford and Matthew Stafford, or will he go the way of JaMarcus Russell and Alex Smith?
Will a franchise that never has won the Super Bowl — maybe the Chargers, Eagles, Falcons, Lions or Texans — finally hoist the Lombardi Trophy?
Which team will make a beeline for the bottom of the league and be in position to draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck?
New rules
There are several new rules and points of emphasis this season:
•Unnecessary roughness: Illegal "launching" — a player leaving both feet before contact to spring upward into an opponent and delivering a blow to any part of the helmet — has been banned. Also, roughing-the-passer rules have been clarified so hits to the passer's head by a defender's hands, arms or other body parts will not result in a penalty unless they are forcible blows.
•Kickoffs: The league has moved kickoffs up 5 yards to the 35 to promote touchbacks and safety.
•Instant replay: The replay official will review all scoring plays.
•Dead-ball personal fouls: If a team commits a dead-ball personal foul at the end of a half, that penalty will now be enforced on the opening kickoff of the third quarter.
Trading places
Familiar players who have switched teams (new team/old team):
Nnamdi Asomugha, CB (Eagles/Raiders): More of a shutdown corner than a big playmaker, Asomugha has a total of two interceptions in the last three years.
Plaxico Burress, WR (Jets/Giants): Burress, recently released from prison, is an upgrade from Braylon Edwards, but can he stay healthy after his hiatus from the NFL?

Business Information Systems Major
Coordinator: Dr. Alex Citurs
Eastern Connecticut State University introduced in August 2003 an undergraduate program in Business Information Systems (BIS). This program will address a surging demand for applied business information systems graduates with broad business and liberal arts backgrounds and a thorough understanding of information systems and applied technologies.
The Business Information Systems major goes beyond the usual study of management information systems to emphasize E-business, enterprise resource planning and transaction processing, using web technology. It focuses on an understanding of how information systems should be administered and how they can be used to improve the performance of organizations. The BIS program incorporates the fundamentals of organizational management, business concepts and of information technologies. The principal theme of the BIS major is the development of business and organizational strategies, and interpersonal communication structures that truly reflect the revolution in telecommunications and integrated organizational information systems. The underlying objective is to provide a basis for life-long learning in a diverse world of social and technological change.
The BIS program prepares students for a wide range of career paths in both business management as well as specialized information systems and technology positions. The BIS core, required of all students, includes a comprehensive set of basic business and information technology requirements. Beyond that, it includes the study of organization behavior in the presence of the new technologies, effectively leveraging business structures and information systems, and a capstone seminar on information systems and business strategies.

Blog post from David Michael: In addition to the wonderful artists who volunteer their time each year, there are a ton of other people who work hard to make sure the show is a success. Anna Miragliuolo, Farm Aid's Member Services Specialist, is this year's Volunteer Coordinator making sure there is enough eager assistance ready to go around to all the groups at the show that need it. From Thursday until after the end of the show Saturday night--well, honestly, very early Sunday morning--Anna has over 300 dedicated worker bees all around the venue.
The biggest single task for our volunteers at this year's show is working with our exciting comprehensive composting program. All throughout the Comcast Center, both out among the crows and even backstage, containers are set up to collect and sort people's trash into Compost, Recycle or Landfill. Volunteers wait at many of the stations to make sure everyone know what goes in to each container to make sure the program works at peak efficiency. It may seem simple, but I know that I wouldn't have realized that the utensils being used can be composted instead of recycled! Just one more way Farm Aid is trying to teach and entertain today. Other volunteers will be helping out with media operations, providing press credentials, escorting artists to interviews and setting up chairs for the press event this morning. Each member of the Farm Aid staff has a volunteer paired with them to help out. Some help out backstage operations, some provide support to sponsors, and just about anything else you can think of. And they do it all with a smile.
Where do we get so many people to help out? The largest group come to us from City Year's youth service corps. There are always some really nice Teamsters around to drive the vans that get us back and forth between the venue, the airport, and hotels. Others come from local groups that want to support the cause. A good sized group--including myself--have family or friends who work with Farm Aid year round and come along to help out during the busy show time. There are even volunteers who join us through a local group when the show is in their town who then return year after year wherever the show may be. We've got some volunteers who have been coming back for over 20 years!

I know that adblocker is the red headed step child on neowin but I have an interesting question on it. I use the standard ad blocker extension on both firefox and chrome on os x 10.9.2. Both firefox and chrome are updated to the latest versions. Now, if the extension is enabled, webpages take anywhere from 20-30 seconds to load...even neowin. But, if I disable the extension, webpages load extremely fast. I have a 25/5 connection speed.
Is this normal because of the extension and how it needs to first block ads before the page loads?
Extension I use on chrome: https://chrome.googl...cnamgkkbiglidom

Bose IE2 Audio Headphones set a new standard for sound performance that conventional earbuds can't match. These in-hear headphones feature an enhanced acoustic design that helps music and phone calls sound smoother and more natural.
These headphones feature StayHear tips, which have an extended flexible wing that sits in the upper ridge of your ear. Over the course of long-term wear, these tips use the ridge of your ear for support and provide better comfort and stability than conventional earbuds. In addition, the tips come in small, medium, and large sizes, so you can find the best fit for you.
An enhanced acoustic design helps your music sound smoother and more natural. The TriPort acoustic headphone structure produces tonally balanced audio with deep, low notes at a surprising quality for such small in-ear headphones. Stereo sound output also ensures quality, balanced audio.
Greater in-ear stability
Enhanced acoustic design
Reliable cable construction
Protective carrying case
Angled plug for extensive compatibility
TriPort acoustic headphone structure
These in-ear headphones also work as a headset and feature an omnidirectional inline microphone. This microphone picks up sound from any direction, regardless of where it is pointed. Black plastic housing is located 4 inches below the right earbud, and it contains the mic, the answer/end button for both headsets, and the volume/track buttons.
These headphones have been tested to meet the needs of busy individuals. They stand up over time for those who consistently need to make phone calls on the go, and they maintain their ability to stay securely in-ear during exercise. Reliable cable construction provides additional durability, as does the included protective carrying case.
StayHear tips (large, medium, and small), MIE2 cable, MIE2i cable, adjustment slider, clothing clip, and carrying case.

Topping the list (and I don't see any way he gets off it): Andrew Mason of Groupon. He has presided over one of the most botched IPOs and post-IPO accounting and business strategy fiascos I've seen – period. The company has been hit by accounting screw-up after accounting screw-up, with the latest warranting a "material weakness" warning from its auditors and an investigation by the SEC.
All of that is overlaid on a business model that I believe simply hasn't been in line with the original hype. Layer on top of that a level of immaturity and arrogance that is likely to lose credibility on Wall Street if the company doesn't appear to get its act together – quickly!

CEDAR FALLS – For the third straight week, the Northern Iowa football team had a chance to close out a Missouri Valley Conference win.
For the third straight week, the Panthers (4-3, 0-3) saw mistakes from key members of their offense in critical moments of the game.
And for the third straight week – the second of which in overtime – Northern Iowa lost a one possession game, this time a 38-31 double-overtime loss to South Dakota on Saturday in the UNI-Dome.
"It's very frustrating. We've got to think before we speak and think before we act because the frustration is a huge part of it, there's no question about that," said Panthers Coach Mark Farley. "I'm sure (the players) are devastated, as they should be. We didn't make plays going down the stretch of some of these games, and it's been the difference in these games."
Northern Iowa looked poised to break the then-two-game losing streak as late as the third quarter. The Panthers led 28-7 with 5:54 left in the third quarter, and followed up that David Johnson touchdown run with an interception of the Coyotes' Kevin Earl.
But Sawyer Kollmorgen – who finished 13 of 23 for 190 yards, one touchdown and three interceptions – threw two of his three interceptions after gaining the three-score lead. Between that and missed coverages from the UNI secondary that allowed big plays for South Dakota (4-3, 3-1), the Coyotes were able to stay in the game.
"There were plays to be made on that field tonight that we didn't make," Farley said. "They hit some passes they shouldn't have hit to get out of trouble. We had some breakdown in coverages. We didn't do anything on offense after we got up 28-7.
"You've got to keep the pedal on and keep moving. And we didn't do that. We gave them a second wind and they came back and beat us."
With that 21-point lead, the Panthers obviously looked jovial and confident on the sidelines.
Linebacker Jordan Gacke – who assumed the role of defensive leader following the season-ending injury to linebacker Jake Farley and led the team with eight tackles Saturday – gave credit to South Dakota for fighting its way back, but didn't shy away from his team's blame in letting another win slip through its fingers.
"Obviously, up 28-7 – up three touchdowns – you're going to be pretty confident," Gacke said. "We let this one slip away.
"They made the big plays when they needed to and we didn't. The 50-50 balls that they went up for where either we come down with it or they do, they came down with it."
With injuries and mental mistakes, Farley had plenty to point to following the game.
But when asked if outside factors were at play in the loss on Saturday, the 13th-year head man of the Panthers wasn't about to sugar-coat anything. The questions even brought about a rare smile in an otherwise somber postgame address.
"We can make excuses, and I appreciate (the media) giving me the opportunity to, but I'm not taking it," Farley said. "Because we've just got to line up and play. There's guys that are on the field and when you strap it on and go on the field and it's your turn to make the play, that's what they've got to do.
"It's part of this game, man. It's 'Next guy in.' He's got to perform and he's got to perform well."
After such an emotional trio of games, Farley acknowledged that the problems facing Northern Iowa are both physical and mental at this point.
Going forward, to be able to turn the season back around both the players and Farley said the team must refocus and get back to what made them a top-five team in the FCS. Farley and Gacke both stressed the Panthers are capable of doing so – "We're not dead," – but acknowledged it wouldn't be a walk in the park.
"There's no easy way. This is just putting your head down and grinding right now," Farley said. "You've just got to go back to work and find out what you did wrong. You've just got to stay with them ... and I'll stay with them to the bitter end.
"They've just got to finish some of this stuff. Finish the plays, finish the quarters and finish the drives."

Had to stop watching after about 10 seconds when Ryan says he's 'Dug pretty deep in the game' and then immediately after that, continues "There's no live online multiplayer"...
Yes there is.
For once, do the tiniest bit of research eh?
He said there is no HEAD-TO-HEAD multiplayer, which there is not.
He said there is no LIVE multiplayer, but there is. It's just as live as Trackmania.
