BMC Cancer 2013, 13:149 doi:10.1186/1471-2407-13-149Published: 25 March 2013
Adjuvant chemotherapy for stage III colon cancer is internationally accepted as standard treatment with established efficacy. Several oral fluorouracil (5-FU) derivatives with different properties are available in Japan, but which drug is the most appropriate for each patient has not been established. Although efficacy prediction of 5-FU derivatives using expression of 5-FU activation/metabolism enzymes in tumors has been studied, it has not been clinically applied.
The B-CAST study is a multicenter, prospective cohort study aimed to identify the patients who benefit from adjuvant chemotherapy with each 5-FU regimen, through evaluating the relationship between tumor biomarker expression and treatment outcome. The frozen tumor specimens of patients with stage III colon cancer who receives postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy are examined. Protein expression of thymidine phosphorylase (TP), dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase (DPD), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) are evaluated using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). mRNA expression of TP, DPD, thymidylate synthase (TS) and orotate phosphoribosyl transferase (OPRT) are evaluated using reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The patients' clinical data reviewed are as follow: demographic and pathological characteristics, regimen, drug doses and treatment duration of adjuvant therapy, types and severity of adverse events, disease free survival, relapse free survival and overall survival. Then, relationships among the protein/mRNA expression, clinicopathological characteristics and the treatment outcomes are analyzed for each 5-FU derivative.
A total of 2,128 patients from the 217 institutions were enrolled between April 2009 and March 2012. The B-CAST study demonstrated that large-scale, multicenter translational research using frozen samples was feasible when the sample shipment and Web-based data collection were well organized. The results of the study will identify the predictors of benefit from each 5-FU derivative, and will contribute to establish the "personalized therapy" in adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer.

Heart LifeLine Alliance was developed in 2008 by the cardiologists at Missouri Baptist Medical Center in partnership with rural hospitals, medical helicopter and ambulance services. In 2010, Missouri Baptist began a partnership with local emergency services to notify the Cath Lab of a patient's arrival so the lab can be prepared. With one phone call, patients who are having an acute heart attack, known as ST-elevated myocardial infarctions (STEMI), are transferred by helicopter or ambulance to the 24/7 Cath Labs at Missouri Baptist where they can receive lifesaving treatment.
Simply: People in outlying and rural communities deserve the same level of care available to people who live near a major medical center. Research suggests that opening up a heart-attack-causing blockage with an angioplasty balloon and a stent yields better results than clot-busting drugs. Proponents believe the approach reduces the long-term health affects of a heart attack and actually saves money in long-term care costs.
Since 2008, more than 500 patients have benefited from Heart LifeLine Alliance Program.
To learn more about our outstanding clinical outcomes, please contact our program coordinator, Annette Casey, RN, at 314-996-5600.
For more information on the Heart LifeLine Alliance Program, call 314-996-3627 or contact us online.
Read about some of the people who have been helped through the Heart LifeLine Alliance.
On Tuesday, 77-year old Verna, mother of eight and wife who had just celebrated her second anniversary (second marriage, after being widowed), was working in her garden when she began to feel nauseous, clammy and experienced blurred vision. She couldn't even see her cell phone numbers. She told her husband Wayne that she was going in the house.
After 10 to 15 minutes had passed, Wayne went into the house to check on her. She was covered with vomit and was lying down on the couch. Both thinking it was just an upset stomach, he went next door to the neighbor's house to get some white soda. The neighbor didn't have any white soda, but mentioned that it may be a heart attack. Verna had heard that heart attack symptoms were often arm and back pain.
"It never crossed my mind that I may be having a heart attack," said Verna. "I thought I was going to pass out."
When Wayne returned to the house, he called an ambulance. The representative told him it sounded like a heart attack. The ambulance arrived in approximately 20 minutes and took her to Iron County Hospital, a two-mile ride from their home.
"They wouldn't let me in the room to see her," said Wayne. While Verna was in the exam room, she told them that about a week prior to this incident she was experiencing heavy pressure on her chest, but no pain. It was difficult also to breath. This happened several times the week before.
The doctor told Wayne that they needed to transport Verna to Missouri Baptist Medical Center where she would be well cared for. They are both members of Air-Vac, so there was no anxiety about the method of transportation.
With one phone call to Missouri Baptist's ER, Iron County Hospital activated the Heart LifeLine Alliance program. Verna was airlifted to Missouri Baptist Medical Center. She was one of the first patients to benefit from this program, which launched just in time to save her life.
Dr. John R. Groll, MD, cardiologist at Missouri Baptist Medical Center, told Verna that she had experienced a heart attack and that they were going to take care of it. Immediately Verna was taken to the Cath Lab for a coronary angioplasty with a stent to open the blocked vessel.
"I was never nervous," said Verna. "Everyone seemed to know what they were doing." After the procedure, she went to recovery and then to ICU where the doctor told her they were going to move her to a different room. "I asked him if I could move to my room at home," said Verna. He told her "no," but if all goes well, you'll go home in three days.
On Wednesday, she felt fine and was on solid food. Wayne stayed by her bedside until 9 p.m. On Thursday, she was walking the halls morning and afternoon.
"I thought I had lost the first girl I ever dated, " said Wayne Pewitt, Verna's husband. They had celebrated their second anniversary on April 17, seven days prior to the heart attack. Childhood sweethearts, they both married other people and had families. Verna has five daughters and three sons. Her children live in Imperial, Salem, Springfield and Cape Girardeau, Missouri, as well as in Iowa and Arizona. Wayne lived in Florida for 54 years and has three children. Their spouses died leaving them widowed.
Someone told Vera about Wayne being lonely in Arizona. Her daughter in Imperial, Missouri called him. He visited her in Iron County and the rest is history. "It's exciting that my wife is the first patient of this step-by-step care," said Wayne. "The time factor saves lives. We're happy that Missouri Baptist has this plan. It will help people."

Influenza is a global disease which imposes a huge medical and economic burden inevery country of the world. The UK is no exception with one caveat - the virus is probably monitored and tracked more in the UK than any other country around the globe.

Over the past 30 years, numerous clinical trials evaluating a variety of different classes of drugs have conclusively shown the benefit of blood pressure reduction in reducing the risk of strokes and cardiovascular mortality. Moreover, such trials have clearly demonstrated that blood pressure is unlikely to be controlled with a single drug and often two or more therapies are required to achieve blood pressure targets.

Anything made by Valve
My family had a glass kitchen table, after sneaking some mud in to my kitchen after playing outside I was pushing the mud down on to the GLASS kitchen table at which time the entire table broke. One half of the table came flying at my face cutting my forehead, I still have a scar to this day, it was my first ever trip to the hospital.
I've been playing games all of my life and I can say without a doubt that my favorite game is Final Fantasy VII, it's the first game that made me actually feel an emotional response to something going on in the game.
In October of 2008 I went to my local game retailer to pick up Dead Space on the day of release. I had been pretty hyped about the game considering the graphic novel that had been released periodically before the release of the game not to mention the film that was to be released slightly after the release of the video game. Back to the story at hand, I bring the game home and pop it in to my Xbox 360. I still remember the first time I watched the intro to the game and thinking "okay this isn't too scary so far". I mean it wasn't like the beginning of the original Silent Hill, I didn't have knife wielding mutant zombie babies cornering me in an ally. Then I actually started playing, here I am walking in to a dark corridor no weapon in hand and I have some monster I have never seen before jumping out at me. I freaked out, paused the game, I was completely frightened. I played through the first half of the first level of Dead Space and couldn't take it. I put the controller down shut off my Xbox and never picked up the game again, until I played Alan Wake.
Alan Wake is a game I have really been looking forward to. I am a huge fan of Stephen King and I saw this game as a Stephen King novel, just in video game form. I was rather timid about my purchase though, Dead Space being the last thriller/horror game I played I honestly didn't know if I could play it. I was rather conflicted the entire time that I was driving toward my local game retailer. Alan Wake's story had me very intrigued I just didn't know if I had it in me to play through a horror game. Apparently I did. While Alan Wake didn't scare me as much as Dead Space the environments were very reminiscent of any nightmare you might have that included a wooded area.
Alan Wake's story is what really made me continue through it while being completely terrified of my surroundings. I knew there was something that was going to pop out at me while walking down this path in the woods or through a line of log cabins, but in order to get the next piece of the story I had to get through it, gripping my controller as if it were the last thing I would ever hold on to. The "episode" structure of Alan Wake was also a huge help. By the end of every episode I was always trying my hardest to not turn off my console and when I finally reached the end it was always a huge relief, but not once did I stop playing until I had finally gotten to the conclusion of an episode.
On Monday June 7 I watched the ending credits of Alan Wake. Shortly after while sitting here trying to wrap my head around the ending of this great game it occurred to me that I had no new games to play, but I did have one that I had never completed. I am currently at the beginning of chapter 3 in Dead Space and really enjoying myself, playing a chapter at a time.
I would have to say... Monster Hunter Tri
I'm looking for some people to join my Red Faction Guerilla ps3 team on gamebattles, if anyone is interested email me or check out the game battles team page at http://gamebattles.com/ps3/red-faction-guerrilla/team/overratedgamers
I have never played the games but I have heard good things about them, and I want to play Sam and Max......come on!
I just watched the most recent trailer for this game and Im really excited about it. I need a JRPG damn it! The last one I played was Lost Oddyssey, and I've recently started probrably my 20th playthrough of Final Fantasy VII, I really want this game.

University of Missouri Libraries officials face tough choices as they consider what to do with 600,000 mold-covered books at an off-campus storage facility.
The volumes are stored at Subtera, an underground storage facility off Stadium Boulevard in north Columbia. Jim Cogswell, director of MU Libraries, said library staff discovered the mold problem in October.
An on-campus environmental health and safety officer has been studying the issue since then and last week issued a report that identified the mold as aspergillus and/or penicillium — common types of mold that don't pose a health threat, MU spokesman Christian Basi said.

Hello. I'm Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty.
Are we Rome? Is Nero fiddling while Rome burns? Is Thad Cochran's close victory in Mississippi symbolic of a modern-day Nero?
Have you seen the latest economic figures? The U.S. economy is in free fall.
We are headed for economic Armageddon. Our economy is shrinking at an alarming rate. We may already be in a Barack Obama Great Depression. At the root of all of it are debt and spending. Both are expanding at a record-setting pace.
Yet establishment D.C. politicians — even GOP politicians like Cochran — save their jobs by promising more Federal spending, more welfare, more food stamps, more government contracts and loans. All this bribery is offered so a desperate, 76-year-old career politician can keep his job until the day he dies.
We have met the enemy, and it is us. It's Washington DC. It's the establishment saving their lifelong jobs by spending taxpayer money, putting us all into debt, and destroying our economy and our children's future. One old Mississippi career politician hanging on for his fourth decade in the U.S. Senate is Exhibit A of the decline and destruction of America.
This race had special importance to me because I just returned from "ground zero." I spent days barnstorming the State of Mississippi, speaking at Tea Party Express rallies for Chris McDaniel. I'm proud to now call Chris a friend.
Tea Party and conservative groups should hold their heads high. A political newcomer came within a whisker of pulling off one of the greatest upsets in modern political history against powerful elitist and D.C. special interest groups. We tried to save America from obscene and unsustainable spending. But the voters of Mississippi (by the slimmest of margins) chose fantasyland. They chose to keep the checks coming at all costs — even if there's no money left to give. They chose the continued looting and eventual bankruptcy of America.
The rallies that I witnessed across Mississippi are the perfect "model" for the looting of America. The stark contract in the rallies for McDaniel and Cochrane pinpoint what is happening to America: elections are being won by the government class offering bribery with taxpayer money. Desperate politicians pull out razor-thin victories only by pandering to those benefitting from government jobs, checks, loans or grants.
I spent three days crisscrossing the State for McDaniel. I spoke in places like Tupelo, Biloxi and Pearl. Everywhere the Tea Party Express went we met loud, wild, enthusiastic crowds. But what is most important is who was in those crowds: average, middle-class Americans. I met homemakers, police officers, firefighters, small-business owners, veterans and taxpayers. These are the citizens who made America great.
As I was leaving Mississippi, I happened to stumble onto a Cochran rally at the Biloxi airport. It was sparsely attended. Who were the few attendees? Political operatives, GOP establishment politicians and government employees. Everyone at Cochran's rally made a living off either politics or government (or both). No one was there because he wanted to be there. Cochran's supporters were paid to be there. Their jobs or careers depended on his staying in power.
This is what the establishment GOP has become. How sad. Just like Democrats, their entire lives and careers are based on fleecing taxpayers and common citizens to pay for their government jobs, political jobs or their companies that are funded by government contracts.
Then there was the last-second plea by Cochran to save his six-term Senate career. This supposedly conservative Republican appealed to black Democrats and union members to cross over to vote in the GOP primary. He reminded them of the Federal money he has brought to Mississippi for four decades.
Cochran also campaigned at military bases and plants manufacturing military equipment to remind voters that only he can "bring home the bacon." His TV ads actually listed the Federal money he's brought back to each specific Mississippi company.
Sound familiar? Appealing to Democrats who want bigger government and more checks — isn't that what career Democrat politicians do? Appealing to union members and government employees — isn't that what career Democrat politicians do? And outspending your opponent by about 3 to 1 with funds donated by corporate interests and the Chamber of Commerce — isn't that called buying the election? Is this what the Founding Fathers wanted for America?
This is the perfect "model" for why America is in decline. One candidate (McDaniel) stood for the middle class, small business, the citizens. Yet he lost to a career politician who has spent four decades in corrupt Washington, D.C., where he learned to buy votes by promising more Federal spending, more entitlement checks and more crony capitalism.
It's amazing and sad to note that this strategy of crony capitalism and bribery still wins elections while the country is insolvent, with more than $100 trillion in debt and unfunded liabilities.
Perhaps Hillary Clinton was right. It does take a village to succeed. In this case it took an entire city: Washington, D.C. It took the power of government and millions of dollars in big business and special interest spending to ensure a career politician can stay in office until he dies.
The problem for the Thad Cochrans of the political world is that this strategy is in its final days. The country is broke and living on Fed printing of fake dollars. What will the career politicians do when the spigot runs dry?
The Cochran victory brings up the question: Are we Rome?
I'm Wayne Allyn Root for Personal Liberty. See you next week. God bless America.

A card edge connector (10) includes an elongated insulative housing (12) with a central slot (20) for receiving a memory card (100) therein, and two rows of contacts (16) in respective opposite sides of the slot. A pair of cavities (22) is defined in respective opposite ends of the housing, for receiving a pair of corresponding rotatable ejectors (50) therein. Means for preventing over-rotation of the ejectors upon release of the received memory card include a pair of horizontal engaging surfaces (32) at respective opposite ends of the housing and a pair of vertical surfaces (34) provided on the housing adjacent respective horizontal engaging surfaces. The horizontal engaging surfaces abut against respective eject portions (56) of rotated ejectors, thereby preventing over-rotation of the ejectors.
1. A card edge connector with at least one card ejector at one end thereof for safely releasing a memory card engaged in the connector, the at least one card ejector having an operation lever and a card eject portion at a bottom end of the operation lever, the card edge connector comprising:
an elongated insulative housing including a mating surface, a pair of side walls and a pair of end walls, and a central slot defined between the side walls and the end walls for receiving the memory card therein, each end wall defining an opening at a top portion thereof for entrance of the at least one card ejector; and
a plurality of contacts received in the side walls of the housing and partially extending into the central slot for electrically contacting the memory card;
wherein the housing further includes an engaging block proximate to the eject portion of the at least one card ejector, the engaging block having a horizontal engaging surface adapted to abut against the eject portion to limit rotation of the ejector.
2. The card edge connector as defined in
3. An electrical connector with at least one card ejector at one end thereof for safely releasing an electronic card engaged in the connector, the at least one card ejector having an operation lever and a card eject portion at a bottom end of the operation lever, the electrical connector comprising:
an elongated insulative housing defining a central slot in a mating surface thereof, the slot being adapted to receive the electronic card therein;
a plurality of contacts received in the housing, for electrical and mechanical engagement with the electronic card in the housing; and
at least one tower formed at one end of the housing, each tower defining a cavity for receiving the at least one card ejector therein;
wherein the housing further includes an engaging block at the at least one tower, the engaging block having an engaging surface generally parallel to the mating surface of the housing and adapted to abut against the card eject portion of the at least one card ejector to limit rotation of the at least one card ejector.
4. The electrical connector as defined in
5. The electrical connector as defined in
[0001] 1. Field of the Invention
[0002] The invention relates to a card edge connector, and particularly to a card edge connector having card ejectors on opposite ends thereof and means for preventing such ejectors from over rotation during releasing a card therefrom.
[0003] 2. The Related Art
[0004] Dual In-line Memory Modules (DIMMs) are becoming more and more popular in the computer industry. A DIMM socket connector is mounted on a computer mother board for mechanical and electrical connection to a corresponding DINM. Typical DIMM connectors are found in U.S. Pat. Nos. 5,074,800, 5,167,517, 5,211,568, 5,302,133 and 5,364,282. The main distinguishing feature of a typical DIMM connector in comparison with a conventional card edge connector is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 4,846,734. Namely, a DIMM connector generally includes a pair of latch/eject members at respective opposite ends. Thus a DIMM is not only securely retained in the DIMM connector with negligible risk of displacement by vibration or shock, but is also easily ejected from the DIMM connector by rotational movement of the latch/eject members.
[0005] However, the latch/eject members can easily be over-rotated, resulting in damage to other components on the mother board. Conventional DIMM connectors have inferior means for preventing the latch/ejector members from being over-rotated. Hence, an improved DIMM connector having such means is desired. An approach has been made by the inventor as shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,634,803.
[0006] An object of the invention is to provide a card edge connector having not only ejectors at opposite ends thereof for releasably latching a memory card engaged therein but also ejector over-rotation prevention means for ensuring safe ejection of the memory card from the connector.
[0007] To obtain the above object, a card edge connector comprises an elongated insulative housing receiving a plurality of contacts therein, and a pair of rotatable ejectors at respective opposite ends of the housing. Each ejector includes an eject portion for releasing a memory card engaged in the connector. The housing includes a pair of the walls, a pair of end walls, and a central slot defined therebetween. The contacts are received in the walls of the housing, and partially extend into the central slot for electrically connecting with the engaged memory card. Each end wall of the housing has an opening at a top portion thereof for receiving the corresponding ejector. The housing further includes a pair of engaging blocks inward from and proximate to the respective eject portions. Each engaging block has a horizontal engaging surface adapted to abut against the eject portion of the corresponding ejector, thereby preventing over-rotation of the ejector.
[0008] Other objects, advantages and novel features of the invention will become more apparent from the following detailed description of the present embodiment when taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
[0009]FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a card edge connector of the present invention, together with a memory card for insertion into the connector in the direction of the large arrow;
[0010]FIG. 2 is a partial cross-sectional view of one end of a dielectric housing of FIG. 1, together with a side view of a corresponding ejector of FIG. 1;
[0011]FIG. 3 is similar to FIG. 2, but with the ejector attached to the housing at an upright position; and
[0012]FIG. 4 is similar to FIG. 3, but with the ejector rotated as far as it can go.
[0013] Referring to FIGS. 1-2, a card edge connector 10 of the present invention comprises an elongated insulative housing 12, a plurality of contacts 14 received in the housing 12, and two ejectors 50 rotatably located at opposite ends of the housing 12 for releasing a memory card 100 engaged in the connector 10. The housing 12 includes a pair of towers 80 at respective opposite ends thereof, a pair of end walls 18 at respective towers 80, a pair of side walls 16, a central slot 20 defined between he end walls 18 and side walls 16, and a horizontal mating surface 36 in which the central slot 20 is defined. The contacts 14 are received in the side walls 16, and partially extend into the central slot 20 for electrically connecting to the engaged memory card 100. Each end wall 18 of the housing 12 has an opening 22 defined in a top portion 24 thereof, for entrance of the corresponding ejector 50. Each tower 80 defines a cavity 28 therein. Each cavity 28 communicates with the adjacent opening 22 and the central slot 20 of the housing 12, for accommodating the ejector 50. Each side wall 16 defines a through hole 26 for rotatably retaining the ejector 50, which is well known in the art. Each ejector 50 comprises a lever 52 for rotatably operating the ejector, a pair of pivots 54 at respective opposite sides of a bottom portion of the lever 52, and an eject portion 56 extending perpendicularly inwardly from a bottom end of the lever 52.
[0014] Referring particularly to FIG. 2, the housing 12 forms a pair of engaging blocks 30 at respective opposite ends thereof. The pair of engaging blocks 30 each are proximate to the eject portions 56 of corresponding ejectors 50 of the housing 12. Each engaging block 30 has a generally horizontal engaging surface 32 adapted to abut against the corresponding ejector 50, and a vertical surface 34 adapted to allow rotation of the ejector 50.
[0015] Referring also to FIGS. 3-4, in assembly, the pair of ejectors 50 is inserted via the openings 22 into the respective cavities 28 of the towers 80. The ejectors 50 are moved downwardly until the pivots 54 are rotatably received in the corresponding through holes 26 of the housing 12. The eject portion 56 of each ejector 50 is located in a lower portion of the cavity 28. Each engaging block 30 prevents the corresponding ejector 50 from over-rotating.
[0016] In FIG. 4, given the engaging surface 32 is horizontal, a resistance force R acts downwardly on the eject portion 56 of the ejector 50. A resistance length L1 is defined between the point of resistance force R and the center of the pivots 54. An operation force F acts at the upper extremity of the lever 52. An operation length L2 is defined between the operation force F and the center of the pivots 54. In equilibrium, R*L1=F*L2; therefore, R=F*L2/L1. From this equation, we can see that the resistance force R is inversely proportional to the resistance length L1. Thus when L1 is large, R is small, and the engaging blocks 30 can prevent the ejectors 50 from over-rotating with minimal risk of damage being caused to the apparatus.
[0017] It is to be understood, however, that even though numerous characteristics and advantages of the present invention have been set forth in the foregoing description, together with details of the structure and function of the invention, the disclosure is illustrative only, and changes may be made in detail, especially in matters of shape, size, and arrangement of parts within the principles of the invention to the fill extent indicated by the broad general meaning of the terms in which the appended claims are expressed.

Marvelous 1795 Half Dime, V-4, LM-10, MS661795 H10C MS66 NGC. V-4, LM-10, R.3. This is the Logan-McCloskey Obverse 8-Reverse G combination: On the obverse star 1 grazes the tip of star 2, and star 15 connects with the forward bust truncation. The base of the digit 1 is centered over two dentils with its top flag touching the bust, as does the top right of the 5 in the date. The I in LIBERTY is below the adjacent B, and TY are close at their tops. On the reverse there is no inner berry under the eagle's left (facing) wing, while the one outer berry extends nearly to the N in UNITED. The upper right serif of the I in UNITED connects to the lower tip of the left wing.
This is the sole use of this obverse die, which apparently clashed early with the reverse and was subsequently lapped, leaving the peripheral stars on the obverse with a "spindly" appearance. This is a late-state coin: The die crack above TY and star 9 has here formed into an extensive retained cud that extends from the left side of the upright of T to halfway between stars 9 and 10. There are numerous wispy die cracks among and around each of stars 9 through 15.
The present coin also encapsulates the single use of Reverse G, although here the dies seem to be in a relatively earlier state than the obverse shows. A small die crack runs from the rim above the D in UNITED through two leaves.
Although a couple of small adjustment marks are noted in the center obverse, they pale in comparison to the wealth of detail apparent throughout both sides. The hair curls are sculptural in their definition, and the central reverse betrays mentionable softness only on the center eagle's breast and the top of the left (facing) wing, far more detailed than normal.
Both the notable lack of contact and the marvelous original rim toning, in shades of gold, sky-blue, and cinnamon, with untoned silver centers, more than merit the Star designation for exceptional eye appeal.

The Ridge Community Church can now make its new home in the soon-to-be-vacated Walmart store at 4500 S. 108th St.
On Tuesday, the Greenfield Common Council approved the church's site, building and landscape design plans, clearing the way the congregation's acquisition of the old Walmart building.
About 60,000 square feet would be used by the church, which would lease out the remaining 50,000 square feet to retail tenants or offices.
Walmart itself will move into its larger quarters under construction around the corner in late October.

Sprint and Google are today announcing a new partnership which allows Sprint to sell Google's Apps for Business services to its enterprise customers starting next month. Google Apps, which is the search giant's business-focused offering of its ubiquitous consumer services, includes Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Google Docs, and a number of other Google services. Sprint will essentially be a reseller of Google's services, and it will offer expanded support and other services that Google itself doesn't provide.
Sprint is expanding on the support services that Google already provides by offering customers a single line of contact for Google Apps and wireless devices and services and support for end users. Google offers a comprehensive support system for Apps customers, including phone support available 24/7 to account administrators, but Sprint thinks its options will provide added value for its customers that take advantage of multiple Sprint services. Sprint will also offer expanded single sign-on services and training programs, as well as offer the ability to pre-load Android or iOS devices with Google's apps and services before delivering them to customers.

GoPro: Horrible Customer Service
A couple months ago, I bought a new GoPro Hero 3 Silver (from CycleGear).
A couple weeks later, I bought two extra batteries for it (from Motorcycle Superstore), since the batteries are only good for about 2 to 2-1/2 hours.
Both of the extra batteries I bought (I know because I marked them, 01, 02, 03 -- with 01 being the one that came with the camera), have gone bad after only one or two cycles. They no longer charge or anything.
I contacted GoPro about this a month ago when the first one quit, and got a long, canned, idiot response with questions like, "are you sure you plugged it in?"
The other day, after discovering the second one was bad, I replied to it and explained again, in detail, what happened. This morning, the response was, "our batteries don't carry any warranty, sorry."
I will contact Motorcycle Superstore and see if they're willing to cover the batteries... but in any case, this thing is getting sold and replaced with something else... Contour, or who knows what. I just think it's BS to not have a warranty of some sort on your products, even a battery. I mean, really? 90 days would be acceptable. This is just BS.
Anyway... thought I'd post about it in case anybody was considering a GoPro product. Keep that in mind.
Unfortunately, I've heard the same thing from other people. It's actually kept me from buying one at this point. On the other hand, batteries are tough. Battery technology is crap. The next big thing is probably better batteries for everything.
Thanks for the heads up.. GoPro to be avoided.. I guess
I just called GoPro and they said all batteries had a 1 year warrantee.
2 stories from the GoPro reps?
Sounds like the camera itself is toasting the batteries (IE over charging them in some way). Do you have access to another Go Pro to try them in? It is possible it's under-charging them (IE incorrectly reading them as fully charged, when they're near-empty) and trying to charge and use the batteries in another Go Pro would help diagnose this.
Mind you, you shouldn't need to do all that yourself; should be a clear cut warranty job. :deal
Just send the batteries to GoPro in california with a copy of the invoice. They replaced my camera that way no question asked.
My camera was overheating WHILE SKIING...returned the whole darned thing...now my new camera won't record for more than 20 seconds at a time...all in a all a very positive experience... :puke1
Let me share my story:
This past summer, I was riding my (old) KLR with my GoPro on the side of the bike, hanging off the fairing. (all GoPro mounts) It has been there many miles, and has made it through the crappiest of roads with no issues.
When I was stopped for fuel, a gentleman came up and was checking out the bike and noted that the GoPro looked really flimsy on the bike. I said it had been there for many miles, no problem what so ever.
-I hit the highway and 3 miles down the road from where I got gas, I looked down and sure enough, my GoPro arm snapped.
I turned around and went back to search, of course didn't find it.
I called GoPro expecting to hear :rofl. Much to my surprise, they asked for pictures, proof of purchase and my 'story' via email. I get a reply almost instantly that they would take care of the situation and ship me a new camera. It did take a few weeks but I ended up getting a new camera, battery, case and arm out of the deal. Excellent service. :wink:
I have WAY to much Go-Pro stuff and have yet to ever have a problem with any of it.
All the updates I have done have taken the first time (i read about people having issues with this).
Love their stuff!!!!!!! :clap
I broke the latch on my 7 year old original gopro, sent their customer service an email asking if the new cases would fit mine, they asked for details then sent me a brand new case free of charge, excellent customer service, you can't get better than that
I bought myself a Go Pro Hero 2 for Christmas. I've gotten about four minutes of video and two or three pictures. The battery dies within minutes. I've tried a number of things and finally emailed Go Pro. The customer service/technician asked via email that I delete and update the firmware. I had the same version as was asked to install, but it appeared to at least allow me to turn on and off the camera and the battery didn't die after approximately four minutes. That's the longest it's lasted. I had to go back to work so I don't know if it's dead yet, but I'll see when I get home. At this point I sure hope it works as advertised, but I have no confidence in it and wish I'd never bought it. I'd rather have a nice point and shoot instead at this point, but my "ruggedized" point and shoot won't die so I bought the Go Pro. If I have a single problem with it again I'm going to see if I can return it.
ETA, customer service can be great, but the product has to be worth owning. At this point, I'm not sure it is.
Go Pro replaced the 3 extra batteries I purchased with my H3B, They also replaced a GP HD I had go bad last year with a brand new one 350 days into the warranty. I feel the H3s were released before they were ready, that coupled with a big batch of bad batteries made for some irate customers.
I'll stick with GP, they treated me well and I haven't seen a product worth swapping it for.
The bottom line is the video quality of gopro cameras is better then the competition. A contour is crap in comparison.

The Journal Sentinel's team of Packers beat writers provide the latest news, notes and analysis
Packers GM Ted Thompson says he's 'just getting started'
Mark Hoffman
Packers general manager Ted Thompson watches rookie orientation camp inside the Don Hutson Center on Friday.
Green Bay — Ted Thompson has no plans of walking away any time soon. At least that's what he indicated Saturday, a week after wrapping up his 10th draft as the Green Bay Packers' general manager. »Read Full Blog Post

This is not going to please Big Ray.Hide replies
big ray's an idiot
Though I am sure the all knowing packer blood will be pleased that his hero isn't leaving any time soon.........
Any Packer fan with the tiniest sliver of a functioning brain should be pleased that TT isn't leaving any time soon.........
It's fine if Ted leaves. Everyone knows Schneider will drop his current job and come GM the Packers. Even if Paul Allen offers Schneider 15 mil a year it's a done deal he will leave.
What if Paul Allen offered him 25 mil a year?
Which he could do as easily as you or I pay for coffee.
Spiders, what are you smoking and do you share? Top QB money for a GM? Yeah, Schneider would leave that just to go back to his home town team...............................done deal.
who cares..
It's all perspective/ 61 is not very old......plus the wisdom and experience along with always being around younger people could mean TT stick around until at least age 70. I hope he does.
In the one press conference - right after the draft was over, I believe - Thompson seemed to be very tired and even slurring a bit. I'm guessing that, being a good workaholic, he didn't get much sleep last week....LOL
Look at his eyes - intense -
61 is the new 29.
He'll probably stay at least until Rodgers retires. When you have a legitimate shot at the title every season, why not?Hide replies
Sounds right. As long as you are in the hunt for the title why leave? We could do much worse than Ted. Not that he really cares one way or the other.
Plus look how happy he looks in that picture.
Looks like he's concentrating on what his hands are doing in his pockets.
I'm not his biggest fan, but I hope he and McCarthy stick around a while longer... we all need some more Super Bowls.
I think TT is great...but to be honest with you, it wouldn't be the worst thing in the world if he did walk away. There seem to be a lot of very-very good GM's who are genuinely interested in the Packers job. Schnieder being just one of them.Hide replies
well, you're right.
if thompson decided to walk away, the packers would find a very capable replacement, because it's a premier franchise that knows who to win.
it's still not preferred.
oops! "knows HOW to win."
just curious what is win blood? Some fans say SF has done little since they haven't won the SB is so long? Is winning the division last year win? I would think this team's goal should be Super Bowl or disappointment?
Since 07 when TT and MM got their 5 yr extensions after losing the conference championship.
08: 6-10
09: lost WC
10: Won!
11: lost div
12: lost div
13: lost WC
Is winning making the playoffs? Being one of the top 6 teams in the NFC? Idk myself. I personally love football and enjoy each game and am disappointed when it is over but that does not mean it was a worthless year. I know some who the season is a waste unless we are in the SB.
I grew up watching my team win championships five times in seven years then having the bottom fall out. thoughts? gee….let's look at the rest of the league and look for a team that has won 3-4 super bowls….maybe more than one….thoughts? gee how about being routinely competitive, perhaps able to win it all, fighting a system that makes it hard to do so….providing a team that drives the vikings, bears and lions insane? providing real entertainment and old fashioned fun? what exactly have we done with ourselves RBM these past six years? Outside of fantasy football and mine craft or whatever fantasy video game you are hooked on? thoughts?
Sure, we'd like to win every year. But, well.....there's this think called 'reality' that always seems to creep in.
Perhaps we should compare that 6 year stretch to all teams to see how well it ranks.
If 'winning the Super Bowl' is the only metric, then GB is tied for first. There have been 6 different SB champions in that span.
If 'just getting to the SB' is the metric, then the Packers are tied for 2nd. Of the past 12 SB contenders, only Pittsburgh has been there twice. 10 different teams - including GB - got their once.
In my opinion, getting to your conference's championship game is the metric that should be used. Only 4 out of 32 teams get there, which is roughly the top 10%. I think that's a pretty good sign of a successful program. And by using this metric, here is where GB ranks:
Bal: 3
Pit: 2
GB, Den, Indy, Sea, Atl, NYG, Chi, NO, Min, Ari, Phi: 1
So, 16 different teams have made it to the NFC or AFC championship game in the past 6 years. Meaning that GB is in the top half. But you would have to argue that NE, Bal, SF, Pit and NYJ have performed better. And of the 11 teams tied for 6th, I would say GB has performed better than most of them.
So I would conclude that the Thompson/McCarthy team ranks somewhere in the 6 - 10 range of top NFL programs during this period.
P Man I like your call on top 4. That is playoff success instead of just making it and it's not all or nothing. Of the 10 other teams tied with us for 1 conf championship here is our record in the playoffs against those teams:
1-0: Chi, Mn, Phil, Atl We have had more success than those four.
0-1: Gmen and Az: Two losses to teams we could have beat but those teams have had the better of us.
So that leaves 4 teams: Den, Ind, Seat, New Or. At first glance you would think Den and Seat are better since they were in the SB last yr and Indy and New Or we might split with.
I like the Conf finals as a barometer for success.
Rosebvowl, you only assume a winning season is the super bowl. There are wins to move up to the point but yu only refer to loses at the next level than the wins to get there. A lot of things have to align properly to get to the big dance. Injuries and match ups mean so much. The important thing is to have your team positioned to make the run by qualifying for the playoffs.
"...leading up to the draft, the Packers' boss has appeared fatigued..." Leading up to the draft, every GM in the league not only appears fatigued, they ARE fatigued! How could they not be?

text: Fire reported at Poway home By By: North County Times -midnightMarch 11, 2007⎙ Print💬 Comments -Reddit✉-Comments POWAY -- The sheriff's bomb and arson unit responded to a fire at a Poway home this afternoon, authorities said. The fire was reported at 4:13 p.m. on the 12000 block of Rockrose Court, sheriff's Lt. William Donahue said. No injuries were reported, Donahue said.
