TORONTO -- Ryan Miller missed a shutout by one minute and 42 seconds, but more important, he was the key to the Buffalo Sabres' 2-1 victory over the Toronto Maple Leafs on Monday night. Miller made 34 saves as the Sabres spoiled the Maple Leafs' home opener before a crowd of 19,475 at Air Canada Centre to remain undefeated two games into the lockout-shortened season. "I think Ryan Miller comes to mind when you ask how did we win that game," said Buffalo center Cody Hodgson, who scored the game's first goal in the first period. "He was pretty amazing back there. We were just able to pull it out. It wasn't the prettiest, but we'll take it." Jason Pominville assisted on Hodgson's second goal of the season and scored what proved to be the winner in the second period. Nazem Kadri gave Toronto hope when he scored his second goal of the season on a power play at 18:18 of the third period, sending home a wrist shot after Michael Kostka's shot was wide. The Leafs thought they had t...

Just below two-thirds of Directors of Hospital Materials Management in the United States are seasoned employees who have more than 10 years of experience in the field. Pay ranges from $42K to $115K per year, and the average comes out to $79K annually. Experience level is the biggest factor affecting pay for this group, followed by geography. Most claim medical and dental insurance and the larger part get vision coverage. Work is enjoyable for Directors of Hospital Materials Management, who typically claim high levels of job satisfaction. Most Directors of Hospital Materials Management survey respondents are men (71 percent). This report is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

Typical Directors of Hospital Materials Management report a focused set of job skills. Most notably, skills in Contract Management, Purchasing, Supply Chain, and Inventory Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 11 percent and 15 percent. Skills that seem to negatively impact pay include Inventory Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
For Directors of Hospital Materials Management, experience does not seem to be a major factor in determining pay. Survey participants with less than five years' experience pocket $61K on average, but those with five to 10 years of experience enjoy a much bigger median of $78K. For Directors of Hospital Materials Management, 10 to 20 years of experience on the job amounts to an average salary of $83K. Survey participants who have spent more than 20 years on the job report a predictably higher median income of $88K, demonstrating that compensation is roughly commensurate with experience in the end.

Pseudoephedrine is an ingredient in Brovex PSE. It is a nasal decongestant and also a CNS stimulant. It could be responsible for the way your daughter is acting. Restlessness and excitability, especially in children, are common side effects of pseudoephedrine.
Why not try just the plain Brovex and see how she reacts. If all is fine then you can put it down to the pseudoephedrine. If her nose is still a little runny / blocked you could try a topical nasal decongestant.
Talk to your pharmacist for more advice.

27 year old woman | Indianapolis, IN, USA | Seeking men 24-30 within 50 miles
I am a very SOCIAL, INDEPENDENT, FREE SPIRITED, and OUTGOING girl trying to have fun with absolutely NO DRAMA to go along with it!!
I could describe myself as a people person. I am obsessed with my family and being an aunt which are ALWAYS put as priorities. I am the youngest of four, with three older brothers to boot! My friends would describe me as an "Easy Friend" (NOT like that!) But, I am one who goes with the flow and always tries to please others. I tend to allow others to make decisions because I want it to be about others and "not myself". I confide in others and always hope others feel they can do the same to me. I am very outgoing, love to "go and do", and LOVE to laugh and joke around. I may not be the typical girl when it comes to food because I LOVE to eat or anything that has to do with food!(girls like food just as much as guys do, don't get fooled :)) I am currently looking to find someone who has similar interests and wants to have fun. Relationship is something I want in the future and hope will form eventually, but my main goal is to find someone that wants to have fun and share common interests!
Camping , Coffee and conversation , Cooking , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Music and concerts , Exploring new areas , Playing cards , Playing sports , Religion/Spiritual , Shopping/Antiques , Travel/Sightseeing , Volunteering , Watching sports , Wine tasting
Baseball, Basketball, Football, Golf, Running, Soccer, Swimming, Tennis / Racquet sports, VolleyBall, Walking / Hiking, Weights / Machines, Yoga
I exercise 3-4 times per week.
I like Dogs, Fish, Horses
Anywhere fun in Indy?!?!? (I grew up vacationing on the Jersey Shore and Hilton Head Island. Also, I was very fortunate that my family would spend Christmas/Christmas break in Cabo San Lucas or Cancun. So, therefore I love the beach!!!:))
Purdue University, West Lafayette, IN
I love music. Country is my favorite though! I am a fan of basically all ABC shows but also watch Survivor and Amazing Race. As for food,I LOVE to eat and try new things. I am not so much an Italian eater but LOVE sushi and chicken fingers/fries :)
Besides the typical "working out", "shopping", and "being outside" free time activities, I LOVE to cook and bake (which is not very often though!) I love attending sporting events.(Purdue basketball, Colts, and the Cubs)
Fifty Shades of Grey and The Help. (Polar opposites but both good reads!!)

Cam shaft choice small seal R90/6
My R90/6 runs very well, it has been modified a bit, including a fully balanced engine, dual plugged, high compression pistons, light porting,lightened flywheel and I have run the bike for just under 2 years in this configuration, it's very smooth and fuel efficient, but I would a little more top end rush.
To that end, my mid winter therapy project could include a slightly more exciting camshaft. Looking at the Motoren Israel website the camshafts suitable for my June 1975 small seal R90/6 includes a 320 degree, a 332 degree and a 336degree camshafts all described as 'sports', but no further description as too what the characteristics of these various cams might be.
I'm not really looking at a full sports cam, just something that will give me a bit more mid and top end, without losing the existing bottom end smoothness. The assymetrical cam on my 1070 bike, seems to work well At all speeds, but it is not made in a small seal version.
Advice and some real world advice welcome
Hello Charles!
The 336° cam seems to be the BMW profile, as Schleicher doesn't offer a 336° cam for the old bikes (the 336° they offer for the later bikes is a more aggressive profile than the BMW 336°).
The 320° and 332° cams are Schleicher cams.
You probably remember the cam thread, there the specs were listed.
The asymmetrical cam is known to be a combination of the 320 profile for the exhaust and the 324 profile for intake.
The 320° cam is well known, in the original setup or a 3° advance (then known as HPN 320/3) and regarded as a good profile for a tourer or mild sports engine.
I know two engines that had the 320° cam installed. Both were very much fun to drive, with a fat torque curve at low and medium revs but still the engines would like to rev high.
On one of these engines a Siebenrock BBK with the asymmetrical cam was installed. The asymmetrical cam provided more torque at medium revs but above 6k5 rpm, unlike with the 320, fun was over.
The owner changed back to the 320 and is happy again.
As to the 332: no personal experience and no hearsay about that. Looking at the specs I would say it's a profile that will pronounce the top more (more lift, more lift at overlap).
If I wanted to build a smooth touring engine the 320° would be my first choice.
I thought a good majority of us came to the conclusion in that cam thread that those specs without a lift check point are not very much help as far as comparing specs or setting up the cams? Even someone's cam doctor graphs were too small to read as far as getting a lift check point out of them?
Rudi, many thanks for your helpful reply, I'll wait and see if anyone has any experiance of the 332, but it sounds to me if the 320 would work well on my bike.
I do have the email address of someone having the 332 in his engine (it's a 94mm*61.5mm short stroke 850cc engine).
Never talked to him about the cam.
And I remember that moorespeed has mentioned the 332 in the cam thread here.
Greetings, Rudi
Thanks I will check the thread,
If the early 336 aftermarket cam is ground like a BMW 336, I would recommend that. I have installed one in a customer's /6 (a BMW 336) and he loves it. A friend of mine had one in his /6 and he loved his. I love mine in my later model as do others I know. They are great midrange cams! The problem is we really have no way of knowing if they are the same or even if they are what they are suppose to be (the reason tuners time cams to start with!). Someone could time both makes themselves and compare and report. It is a touchy job and just a few degrees do make a difference but . . . .
The interesting thing is that quality problems had been unknown as long as Schleicher produced the 336 for BMW ...
And they still are unknown regarding Schleicher cams. And believe me, they are used a lot.
In the meantime I had a closer look onto the documentation Schleicher provide and these are equal to those in the BMW documentation:
Preload the valves 1mm and measure duration after 1mm additional lift.
The BMW doc says:
Preload 1/4 turn (no valve play) and measure after 2mm lift.
Where is the documentation? In English?
Grind? What else is there?
Any good cam manufacturer knows that cams can be ground wrong. That is why most all good cam manufacturers give their specs with a check point so you can check their timing.
Timing a cam at a rocker arm? I would get real familiar with it at the lifter myself. It makes the job a lot easier and less prone to mistakes IMO.
But anyone interested can contact Schleicher prior to buying and ask for all information wanted.
I would regard this as very simple.
The plan is to take the bike off to my local dyno jet operator and get a base level run done before Christmas, I can then do the works sometime in January, but a few miles on and then do a second run and see what the difference is.
This might give some comparative numbers that could be of interest
Here are the specs for all of the aftermarket cams that I know of.
motoren Israel 320 cam purchased".............
It should be fitted sometime in January. If your are a member of the UK BMW club, the club tool hire scheme has a very wide collection ofBMW tools to help you do this or any other job on what looks to be every bike up to the current 1200s. Not bad for £5 hire fee and costs of return postage.
Since the opening and closing figures add up to the quoted running duration, I would guess that their timing numbers are taken at running clearance, i.e., .006" lift. This would be an unusual way of checking the valve timing, but useable. There are also the lobe centers in the tables. However, I know of no cam grinder who will tell you how quickly the valve is opened. BMW-and most other OEMs of OHV engines- lift the valve very gently, whereas the american hot-rod grinders tend to open them as quickly as the piston position will allow.
You can do all the measuring possible, but only running a cam will tell you how it works. Anything else is speculation, albeit laced with experience.

Mailing purchases back home
Italy in May 2013 is our first European trip. We usually take car trips where room for bags and souvenirs is "unlimited" so the one-bag carry-on experience will be a challenge. I am wondering about the practicality of mailing purchases back home. I can imagine, for example, wanting to purchase pottery, but not wanting to carry it around for the rest of the trip. Can anyone advise me on the wisdom of this approach and how it can be accomplished? Thanks!

Common Core Vocabulary: 12 Program Assessment Questions
Although much of the Common Core State Standards for English Language Arts & Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, and Technical Subjects affirm what elementary and secondary ELA/reading teachers have always been doing, the breadth, complexity, and depth of instruction in vocabulary may be a noteworthy exception.
The writers of the Common Core State Standards include vocabulary development among a variety of instructional Strands across the curriculum and grade levels. Additionally, the appendices add significant discussion on vocabulary acquisition. Perhaps a brief self-assessment of 12 basic questions may be in order.
Common Core Vocabulary: 12 Program Assessment Questions
- Outside of independent reading, would you say that the bulk of your vocabulary instruction is planned and purposeful or incidental and "as the need arises?"
- Do you teach vocabulary across the curriculum? Using the same strategies?
- How do you teach Tier II and Tier III academic language words? Which words do you teach and how were they determined?
- Do you and your colleagues teach a purposeful scope and sequence of vocabulary instruction across the grade levels?
- Do you teach the connection between vocabulary and spelling/syllabication?
- Do you teach grade level multiple meaning words? How were these words chosen? Which words do your colleagues teach?
- Do you teach specific context clues strategies?
- Do you teach Greek and Latin word parts? Which do you teach? Which do your colleagues teach?
- Do you teach dictionary and thesaurus research skills?
- Do you teach word figures of speech? How were these words chosen? Which words do your colleagues teach?
- Do you teach word relationships? How were these words chosen? Which words do your colleagues teach?
- Do you teach word connotations?
In a nutshell the Common Core Vocabulary Standards do establish the instructional expectations included in the above questions:
The Reading Strand in both Literature and Informational Text includes the same Standard (8.4): Determine the meaning of words and phrases as they are used in a text, including figurative and connotative meanings; analyze the impact of specific word choices on meaning and tone, including analogies or allusions to other texts.
The Literacy in History/Social Studies, Science, & Technical Subjects Standards include Vocabulary Standard RST 8.4: Determine the meaning of symbols, key terms, and other domain-specific words and phrases as they are used in a specific scientific or technical context relevant to grades 6–8 texts and topics.
The Language Strand devotes three separate Standards: L.4, 5, 6 to vocabulary acquisition.
- Multiple Meaning Words and Context Clues (L.4.a.)
- Greek and Latin Word Parts (L.4.a.)
- Language Resources (L.4.c.d.)
- Figures of Speech (L.5.a.)
- Word Relationships (L.5.b.)
- Connotations (L.5.c.)
- Academic Language Words (L.6.0)
The author of this article, Mark Pennington, has written the assessment-based Teaching the Language Strand Grades 4-8 programs to teach the Common Core Language Standards. Each full-year program provides 56 interactive grammar, usage, and mechanics lessons. (Check out a seventh grade teacher teaching the direct instruction and practice components of these lessons on YouTube.) The complete lessons also include sentence diagrams, error analysis, mentor texts, writing applications, and sentence dictation formative assessments with accompanying worksheets (L.1, 2). Plus, each grade-level program has weekly spelling pattern tests and accompanying spelling sort worksheets (L.2), 56 language application opener worksheets (L.3), and 56 vocabulary worksheets with multiple-meaning words, Greek and Latin word parts, figures of speech, word relationships with context clue practice, connotations, and four square academic language practice (L.4, 5, and 6). Comprehensive biweekly unit tests measure recognition, understanding, and application of all language components.
Teaching the Language Strand also has the resources to meet the needs of diverse learners. Diagnostic grammar, usage, mechanics, and spelling assessments provide the data to enable teachers to individualize instruction with targeted worksheets. Each remedial worksheet (over 200 per program) includes independent practice and a brief formative assessment. Students CATCH Up on previous unmastered Standards while they KEEP UP with current grade-level Standards. Check out PREVIEW THE TEACHER'S GUIDE AND STUDENT WORKBOOK to see samples of these comprehensive instructional components.
The author also provides these curricular "slices" of the Teaching the Language Strand "pie": the five Common Core Vocabulary Toolkits Grades 4−8; the five Differentiated Spelling Instruction Grades 4−8 programs (digital formats only); and the non-grade-leveled Teaching Grammar and Mechanics with engaging grammar cartoons (available in print and digital formats).

12 Day Itinerary in Italy - with a 3 day wedding in Cannes
We are coming into Milan mid October to attend a Indian wedding in Cannes. My wife and I will be renting a car. We want to cover as much of Italy as possible. Coming into Milan, we want to hit Piemonte for wine and a gastronomical experience, then go to the three day wedding, and then hit as much as possible with Cinque Terre, Florence (Tuscany wine), Venice, Rome and possibly Amalfi. I know its a stretch, but my wife and I often like to see as much as possible, with some quality time in each. I dont mind driving as long as the drive is worth it and beautiful. thoughts? Last question. We both are vegetarian and if you have some tips oriented at that, that would be great! thanks in advance.

Gloucester Ladies win promotion to Regional League
Fresh from being crowned champions of the Gloucestershire Netball County League, Gloucester Ladies travelled to UWE Bristol today to take part in the play-offs to enter South West Regional League division 3.
The play-offs were a round-robin tournament against six other teams from the south west region. Their first match against Whitchurch (Avon) was a 15-15 draw, followed by another draw 10-10 against Raychem (Wiltshire).
Hucclecote U16 netballers are following U14 team mates to national finals
Having finished in first place in Division 1 of the South West U16 Regional League, it was up to Hucclecote Panthers to prove themselves in the play-offs to get to the national finals last Sunday.
Their U14 team mates had already secured their place in nationals almost a month before, finishing second in the South West U14 Finals at Bath University on 21st March.
Panthers, who are sponsored by Peter Hickman Hairdressers, also played their final play-off matches at Bath University, against the other top three clubs in their league.
Only the top two teams from play-offs would earn a place at the nationals, but having won all 12 league matches this season, Panthers went into the South West play-offs as favourites and certainly showed why - winning all three matches on the day by a comfortable margin.
"This was an awesome display of netball at the highest of level," commented Coach Gilly Salter, "thanks must go to the very supportive management team and to the parent volunteers for their support throughout, and particularly to Sarah Taylor, Team Manager who has completed a sterling role this season."

Copywriter and Online Marketing Specialist
United States - Last active: 3 days ago - Tests: 10 - Portfolio: 12
Too often, online marketers get caught up in chasing the next fad. But doing more business online is, at the heart of it, very similar to doing more business offline. Relationships are what's important, and hacks and tricks only go so far. I'm not your ordinary freelancer. I sometimes describe myself as "a writer who's not afraid of numbers." My drive to understand the written word and the world of business has given me an unusual collection of experiences and skills: -I'm an experienced copywriter who has created sales letters and other marketing materials for businesses several industries. -I'm a Google Partner, with certification in AdWords, Bing, and Google Analytics. I've successfully managed PPC programs with monthly spend ranging from under $1,000 to close to $45,000. I've also designed and run website split testing programs for clients. ***Please note that my rate for PPC is $50/hour.**** -In the past, I worked in publishing as a writer and editor for about 10 years, giving me a solid grounding in proper editorial procedures and standards, what materials sell, and the financial considerations involved in publishing a book. I've found that a lot of the business skills I've learned in this world are highly transferable to other industries. -I've been managing my own web-based businesses on the side since 2003. To any project, I bring a drive for thoroughness, patience, good judgment, and a deep investment in seeing my clients meet and exceed their goals. Your success is my success. I constantly test and look for data to support decisions. For my clients' ultimate benefit, I constantly seek out new learning opportunities (conferences, webinars, workshops, etc...). Finally, I'm highly dependable: I'm very selective about the commitments I make to insure that when I do take on a project I not only meet my responsibilities but hopefully knock it out of the park. I'm most interested in projects that allow me to work with a website's marketing needs in a holistic manner. Rather than push the particular solutions I can personally offer, such as AdWords or a content marketing campaign, I much prefer to analyze the needs of that particular business and come up with a plan that will address what's most needed, in the most effective way. If I don't think that a certain marketing technique will work well for you, I'll tell you so. I also work best with clients who understand that good results take time. I audit the work of others frequently, and have seen the consequences of going for the quick win without attention to long-term profitability. Sample Results (see also portfolio section below): -Created an extensive remarketing program with the highest ROI in an individual campaign at over 800%. For this client I have also been successful at cutting spend (in the case of one campaign as much as 88%) while maintaining sales. -Another client brought me on board to see if a display campaign set up by a previous consultant could be optimized further. When auditing the campaign I identified changes to the targeting that led to a 600% increase in leads. -I improved the click-through-rate (CTR) of an assisted living facility by 1700%, while halving the cost per click and raising the average position. -Through testing, I achieved ad-level CTRs as high as 12.28% (average 2.56%) for a WordPress developer. These results are for non-branded keywords. Client Comments (see also oDesk reviews): "Just took a look inside the account. You've really turned around the conversion rate. Thanks again for the great work on this." "I really appreciate your weekly reports, and how you provide a different perspective on the account's performance and what can be improved each time." "Your audit and keyword research has been extremely helpful to us in thinking about our business." [This client, a web developer, liked my analysis so much that they've hired me to provide the same service for their own clients.] "Thanks for the detailed report. This is a great start. Today we had 3 leads come in within 1h and 30m. That is highly unusual." I'd be delighted to discuss your online marketing program and what I can do to help.
Certified Adwords - Sales Funnel Architect - Amazon PPC
France - Last active: 12 hours ago - Tests: 5
Which one is more important to you: A well-managed Adwords campaign – or a predictable, reliable, sustainable sales stream? Yes, I assure you there is a big difference. There are many methods to improve an Adwords account, some will reduce your cost per click, others will give you a better position in the search listings, improve your quality score, or increase your traffic volume. Still others will change your business by creating a new client stream, and to be sure, some are more expensive than others. If all you want is a cheap overall adwords campaign setup, which you can get with any one-step process, then I'm sure there are many contractors here that can give you estimates. But if you want to protect your investment in both your business and your Adwords budget, and if you are concerned with the automation and profitability of your business, then you are invited to contact me. I focus on building a complete sales funnel for your business, one that you can count on to generate new clients for you, reliably and sustainably, day and night, on autopilot. You see, it's easy to lose oneself in all of Adwords' magic features: You can discover what your market share is, you can get a detailed list of your competitors and know whose ads are showing above you for which percentage of the time! However, if you really want to build a sales system that can become one of the most valuable parts of your business, you have to work on the WHOLE sales process. NOT just the part that brings in the visitors! And this is why, every project I work on begins with a 23-point audit of your website. Before spending hard-earned money to send visitors to our page, why not make sure it's as good as possible? And once it is, what systems do you have in place to retain customer loyalty? Overview of the sales process: Impressions Clicks Landing Page Follow Up Sale Retention Make sure you are working on all of these steps, and not just the first two, which are, the Adwords Campaign. The n°1 Mistake Advertisers Make: If you have ever paid to send traffic to your website, you have of course noticed that most of the visitors don't buy the first time they show up, do they? That's common, and perfectly normal. A lot of them will actually think: Oh, that's an interesting website, I'll come back later…and…what happens next? They forget about your website. Therefore, If you don't have any way to contact these visitors, to make them come back… they're gone! And you've just thrown your advertising money in the garbage. This is what most websites lack: A way to capture contact information, with a compelling enough reason to make them want to leave their personal details! So if you want to invest in your business, and build a complete sales funnel, you're invited to send me a message. And if you decide to give me the go-ahead, you're further protected with my… 100% No-risk Guarantee I want you to be super pleased – in fact, absolutely delighted – with every project I manage for you. So every job comes with my iron-clad, risk free guarantee. What does this mean? Simply this: If you aren't pleased, you pay nothing. Not one Penny. Many companies don't guarantee their work – but I feel nothing is more important than your complete satisfaction. I stand behind every job 100%. Why I'm different: - Certified Google Adwords Specialist + Level 2 certification - Author of the book "Dominate your market online" available on Amazon (in French) - Speaker at Chamber of Commerce events in Paris, France - Interviewed by one of France's Top 3 economic magazines, recording available online - I built my own call tracking platform, allowing to track the origin and the quantity of phone calls generated, depending on the traffic source. - Anti-click fraud software: Wondering why these clicks don't convert? A large percentage could be fraudulent. I fight to get your money back by sending Google evidence! Some of my clients got up to 50% of their budget reimbursed! - Amazon PPC: I worked with a variety of brands and helped some of them grow as much as from $0 to $31,000 in 3 months, using Amazon PPC (results not typical). Customer testimonials: "Thanks to your work, this month I've reached 40 new clients, whereas I usually get around 20 a month! Thanks a lot!" -F. Cambessedes, Physiobell' "Just wanted to send you this email to thank you, it's now working and efficient. I have regular phone calls from people who have found me online. Thanks for your patience and talk to you soon." - B.M. "Thanks to your campaigns, we're getting sales. It's our only source of sales on the e-commerce website!" –Mrs Lesage "Just got our first client thanks to your work, it's Yannick Noah! (famous French tennis player) I'm getting so many phone calls I sometimes can't take all of them!" – Youness

Before getting into C#, I used VB.Net for several years. - I've been writing enterprise-scale business and data layer code for over 4 years. - I've been managing and programming Microsoft SQL Server since version 6.5 (and am up to date on 200X), and Microsoft Access for many years. - I've worked with MySQL/SQLite and PHP (4+) as a hobbyist for several years. I can perform most any task required to update an existing site, but am probably not suited for a new development project in PHP.- Prior to .Net I programmed in traditional asp using VB Script, COM & DTC. - I manage my own dedicated windows 2k3/8 servers with multiple running applications and servers. - I have experience with a wide variety of third-party components and controls., and can assist in integration, middleware, queuing services, etc. - I'm not a graphic designer, and prefer to leave site layouts and graphics to someone more suited to that type of work.

Getting What You Pay For: Sure, you can find loads of developers here and on other similar service sites at a fraction of my rates. Why would you pay me? - I will stand behind my work. If you're unhappy, we'll fix it. - I will not charge for time spent figuring out how to solve general technical problems. If I don't already know how to implement a relevant solution, I will spend MY time researching and figuring it out. We're supposed to be professionals, and if we don't understand what the problem is, we shouldn't be charging you. Besides: each time I solve a unique problem, it makes me more effective; for you, me, and my next happy client! NOTE: Most of my work is done for companies' internal intranet, operations and LOB applications. I've added a few items to the portfolio, but please ask me about the other work which I can't showcase. While I'm often bound by NDA/Confidentiality agreements, I can explain more about my background in a general way than is illustrated publicly.

Old rhythm games vs. New rhythm games
By SkylarShelton 1 Comments
It is interesting to see the transition of how the rhythm game genre has evolved. I am a big fan of all of the old Japanese Konami made rhythm games. When the genre started to get popular in the states I was worried that the music would be corny and the games would become super easy. It is true that the rhythm games made for the states are not as difficult as the, well lets say, beatmania series of games have gotten, but I think they might be a little more enjoyable because of that :)

Every morning, we compile the links of the day and dump them here… highlighting the big storyline. Because there's nothing quite as satisfying as a good morning dump. What we don't know yet is how those free agent contracts are structured and how much actual room they will have to finish the roster renovation. The Celtics have to stay under the luxury tax — $70.3 million – to take advantage of more accommodating trade rules in a potential sign-and-trade and then they must stay under the apron — $74.3 million – to complete the roster renovation. It's entirely possible that they won't have enough room left below the apron to use the bi-annual exception — a two-year deal starting at $1.9 million. The bi-annual is a useful bargaining chip for late in the free agent game when veterans are looking for a new home and that tends to be the last demographic to sign deals. As for a sign-and-trade, team sources indicated this week that the pursuit may take a little while to reach a conclusion...

Poet, M.D.
By Mark Singer
John F. Martin is, in no particular order, a cardiologist, transatlantic academic, specialist in gene therapies for treating heart attacks, clinician, and published poet. From time to time, he also publishes research papers with titles that tend to be studded with spelling-bee serial killers (Ganciclovir, glioma, sitimagene ceradenovec, megakaryocyte). He summarized an article of his in a recent issue of Nature, the result of twenty years spent scrutinizing the cellular structures of platelets, as "arguing that strong archaic forces in evolution come into play to cause a heart attack." As a poet, he's pursued a parallel exploration of the rhythms and mysteries of the human heart.

Renault Duster SUV amongst the least depreciating new cars
Renault Duster SUV has been in the good books ever since its launch, be it Brazil, India or the UK. Sweeping awards globally, rewriting record books, and becoming the most affordable 4×4. The latest on the Duster is that it is now amongst the the least depreciating new cars in the UK.
Duster managed to garner 1,700 bookings, even before customers were allowed a test drive at dealers in the UK. It is now revealed that the Duster SUV is also amongst the least depreciating new cars in the UK. Priced a little under £9,000 (INR 7.61 lakhs), the entry level Access trim is expected to retain 34% of its value after a three year / 60,000 miles (96,560 kms) period while the Duster Laureate dCi 110 4×2 model priced at £12,940 will lose £8,540 of its value over the same period. Usually, cars in the same class are averaging losses of over £12,000.
On the news, Phil York, Marketing Director, Dacia UK, said, "We know that the Dacia Duster is a great package for anyone after a practical, reliable and affordable SUV. CAP's view just reaffirms our belief that its got bucketloads of appeal for British buyers. After living with one, I doubt most owners will ever want to be parted from their trusty Duster. But, if they do have to sell it, or maybe even trade it in for a newer Dacia, they won't be hugely out of pocket. I can't help but think the residual value forecast for Sandero is going to blow the competition away too, in the not too distant future."

@jason98: Flash strength is only part of the problem. Flash position is the other. Flash works best when it is offset from the subject, rather than being directed directly on the subject. Having the flash as a separate unit allows for it be directed as needed. Also, the battery requirements for a flash unit are generally a consideration.

Your preschooler eats lunch, then 20 minutes later claims to be hungry. Is it OK to offer a little something? Maybe yes, maybe no. Here's why:
Around the preschool years, many kids start to use the word "hungry" to express other feelings such as boredom, loneliness, sadness, or other emotions they don't understand or can't name. Using food to relieve sadness, for instance, will establish the connection between food and feelings other than hunger. Over time, that can be increasingly hard to undo. And it won't address the underlying reason for the sadness or another emotion, either.
If your child complains of hunger, take a minute to gently ask questions to see what's really going on: "What have you been doing?" or "Would you like me to come play with you for a while?" If your child quickly forgets about a snack, you'll know he or she was in search of your attention or just looking for something to do. If the hunger complaints continue, you probably have a hungry kid on your hands.
It's wise for parents to talk to kids about what it means to be hungry and what it means to be full. Most of us are born with the ability to gauge our body's need for food, but over time we can learn to ignore these signals, which may contribute to weight gain.
Kids who truly understand when they're hungry — or full — can better regulate how much food to eat. Not surprisingly, kids who don't recognize when they're full are more likely to be overweight.
Here are some ways to encourage kids' awareness of when they're full:
Remember that kids watch what others say and do. If parents and siblings all model healthy eating habits, a preschooler will have good examples to follow.
The average preschooler eats three meals a day plus two or three snacks. But given the chance, many would choose to snack all day long. Kids who "graze" like this might never feel hungry for a regular meal.
It's important to discourage grazing because:
A regular routine of meals and snacks helps discourage grazing, and kids like it because they know what to expect. For example, if kids start to feel hungry during story time, it helps when they also know that it's always snack time afterward. And a child who doesn't feel hungry when it's time for an afternoon snack knows it's OK to skip it because dinner is just around the corner.
On very active days, though, it's perfectly normal for kids to be extra-hungry and need more than usual to eat. On those days, be flexible if your child wants an extra snack or eats more at mealtime.

Bad Teacher star Cameron Diaz took her stage time to quite rightly point out that the film she was winning for was rated R (the same as fellow Teen Choice winner Ed Helms in The Hangover Part II) and thank the parents who no-doubt pre-screened her film before allowing their teens to see it. Her heart and mind are in the right place, but she has obviously never been the parent of a teenager.

Small Business Administration:
Actions Needed to Strengthen Small Business Lending Company Oversight
GAO-01-192: Published: Nov 17, 2000. Publicly Released: Dec 19, 2000.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-3000
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
The Farm Credit Administration (FCA) reviewed the Small Business Administration's (SBA) oversight of the Small Business Lending Companies (SBLC) program and determined that several areas could be strengthened. SBA officials said that the agency plans to take appropriate action on most of FCA's recommendations to improve the program. However, FCA expressed concern about the financial risk to SBA's loan portfolio associated with less favorable economic conditions. Such conditions could place upward pressure on SBA's 7(a) loan default rates. SBA needs to have access to information that accurately identifies risk in both individual loan and the total portfolio. The initial SBLC examination results have provided some information to aid in such risk identification, but a continued effort is needed.
Recommendations for Executive Action
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: The Acting Administrator of SBA directly assigned the SBLC examination function to the Office of Lender Oversight. According to SBA officials, SBA's IG has not raised the issue of whether a delegation of authority from SBA's IG is necessary.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should directly assign the SBLC examination function to the Office of Lender Oversight.
Agency Affected: Small Business Administration
Status: Closed - Implemented
Comments: In its 2004 proposal for legislation, SBA asked for specific supervisory and enforcement authority for small business lending companies and non-federally regulated SBA lenders. The Senate's bill to reauthorize SBA programs (S1375) proposes to provide the requested authority.
Recommendation: The Administrator, SBA, should ensure that SBA provides, through regulation, clear policies and procedures for taking supervisory actions. Specifically, if SBA determines that it does have the necessary statutory authority, the Administrator of SBA should develop and adopt SBLC regulations that would clearly define SBA authority to take supervisory actions and specify conditions under which supervisory actions would be taken. If SBA determines that it does not have necessary statutory authority, the Administrator of SBA should make a legislative proposal to ensure that the agency has the supervisory authorities necessary to direct and enforce corrective action of conditions that may not merit a suspension or removal of lending status.
