Performance appliance of RenderTargetBitmap
Challenge: draw complicated Path and animate anything over it
Problem: high CPU while animating object
So, we got another challenge – draw Path object with thousand of points and animate another object over the Path by having least possible impact on CPU. What's the problem?
First of all, let's create out XAML
<Path Name="path" Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" Data="{x:Static l:Window1.Data}"/>
and generate graphics geometry for it
public static Geometry Data
for (int i = 0; i < 1024; i++)
pts.Add(new Point((double)rnd.Next(2000), (double)rnd.Next(2000)));
StreamGeometry geometry = new StreamGeometry();
geometry.FillRule = FillRule.EvenOdd;
using (StreamGeometryContext ctx = geometry.Open())
ctx.BeginFigure(new Point(0, 0), false, false);
ctx.PolyLineTo(pts, true, true);
return (Geometry)geometry.GetAsFrozen();
Next, let's create simple rectangle and animate TranslateTransform object, relays in RenderTransform collection
redRect.Width = 100;
redRect.Height = 100;
redRect.Fill = Brushes.Red;
redRect.HorizontalAlignment = HorizontalAlignment.Left;
redRect.RenderTransform = trans;
DoubleAnimation da = new DoubleAnimation(0, this.ActualWidth, new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)));
da.Completed += (EventHandler) delegate {root.Children.Remove(redRect);};
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, da);
Animating RenderTransform collection is the most efficient way to change things in WPF visual tree. It does not tickles the tree, does not performs layout and rendering engine is very smart to update only dirty regions.
See yourself (dirty regions update is colored)
Very well. Let's see CPU rate – 60%? WTF? Why? I'm using most performant RenderTransform, transforming only necessary things and doing it over static object. Static? Well, it's retained object, so WPF trying to redraw each region under the moving object. What to do?
We can try to use Adorners. It might help us to avoid underlying object redraw.
So, we'll create our own Adorner, that knows to hold UIElement inside it
class CanvasAdorner : Adorner
UIElement parent,child;
List<UIElement> children;
public CanvasAdorner(UIElement adornedElement, UIElement Child)
: base(adornedElement)
children = new List<UIElement>();
parent = adornedElement;
Then we'll create adorner layer from our root panel and animate rectangle inside it.
AdornerLayer layer = AdornerLayer.GetAdornerLayer(root);
CanvasAdorner ca = new CanvasAdorner(root, redRect);
DoubleAnimation da = new DoubleAnimation(0, this.ActualWidth, new Duration(TimeSpan.FromSeconds(10)));
da.Completed += (EventHandler)delegate { layer.Remove(ca); ca.Remove(redRect); };
trans.BeginAnimation(TranslateTransform.XProperty, da);
We should see performance boost? No, we're not. This is because of rendering engine, that draws everything together
It still works very hard to redraw each pixel in geometry.
What to do? We can either create new DirectX surface and draw over it or, maybe another rendering (or UI) thread? Net very simple solution. I prefer "GDI+ way".
What is it? Don't you remember, old good way, when we pin pixels in bitmap in order to make visual cache? We can do it in WPF too. To do it, we'll use RenderTargetBitmap object. This object knows convert WPF Visual into Bitmap and this is exactly what we need.
So we'll create Image and it source will be our Visual, rendered by RenderTargetBitmap (this is software accelerated!)
RenderTargetBitmap rtb = new RenderTargetBitmap((int)path.ActualWidth, (int)path.ActualHeight, 96, 96, PixelFormats.Pbgra32);
Image img = new Image();
img.Stretch = Stretch.None;
img.Source = rtb;
Now we can move and animate our rectangle over bitmap. It still works and renders only necessary regions (BTW, pay attention, that those regions much smaller, thus animation performance is much better), but what's happened with CPU?
It's around 2% – we reach the goal. But why his happens? What the difference between rendering Path and Bitmap? After all both pixels – yes, but in Bitmap case those pixels are not retained, thus rendering thread almost does not work. See the CPU comparison for three of those methods
Don't it really cool? There are some problems with this method – one of those problem (and most serious) is that creation of RenderTargetBitmap and it's rendering takes a lot of time and CPU (in my case it was about 0.5 seconds) another problem, that we're playing with Visual and Logical tree, so we're rerender and layout whole application window twice – before and after creation. However even with those problems this way is the best to get performant animation over retained WPF objects.
Have a nice day and be good people. Source code for this article.

This article is very informative. I am facing similar issue. The problem I wanted to solve is to display multiple signals (channels) in real time. I need to update the data at 10 mm/second speed. I am able to achieve my goals using either rendertarget bitmap (by drawing path geometry on bitmap) or by using polyline directly on a grid control. The issue is code uses too much CPU. I was impressed with performance in your code when you are animating rectangle on a bitmap, but in my case it is not helping. Can you give me any clues on how I can enhance my code.

Full detailed profile on Aubrey 'Kimberly Andrews' Wentworth Played by Amanda Setton on One Life To Live Daytime Soap Opera.
Amanda Setton
Real Name: Amanda Setton
Cutter calls Kim from a Kentucky jail and asks for a favor. Kim promises to help if he tells her where Stacy is. She's stunned to hear the girl she rescued was Gigi. Cutter explains, as Kim cries, "It can't be." Kim blames herself for not stopping Stacy from the beginning. She feels alone, but Cutter says she still has him. Kim lashes out for Cutter framing her. He apologizes, suggests they team up again, asks Kim to bust him out of jail and says, "I'm too pretty for prison." Cutter piques Kim's interest when he talks about the perfect mark, a woman with her own island - their mother. Cutter shares his run-in with Alex. Kim says goodbye and hangs up on him. Cutter calls Alex.
Viki sees Kim and Clint kissing in the living room at Llanfair. Kim pulls back, asks Clint if they belong together then kisses him again. Viki sneaks off unseen, runs into David and leaves. Clint pulls back and tells Kim he wants to be with Viki. "No you don't," Kim objects. She thinks the atmosphere at Llanfair is simply familiar to him. "I'm in love with Viki," Clint insists and apologizes. Kim wonders what'll happen if Viki doesn't want him. It's a chance Clint's willing to take. Kim kisses Clint goodbye then leaves. He places a gift for Viki under the tree.
Back in Llanview, Natalie catches Clint up on her progress with Jessica at Llanfair. She gave Natalie advice about John. Natalie hasn't been able to reach him and leaves to track John down. Kim arrives soon after and asks if Clint's made a decision. He and Viki have bonded. He's been trying to make up his mind. Kim wants to help and kisses Clint. Viki appears and sees them.
At Llanfair, Kim explains Stacy's plan to get Rex back. Clint worries how Rex and Shane will react. She admits Rex knows about Stacy and got Kim released from jail. "I want you back, Cowboy," Kim states and blames their separation on Cutter and David. Now, there's no one standing in their way. Clint brings up how much Viki's helped him and how they kissed. He snaps at Kim, who thinks Viki's right to think she's Clint's consolation prize. Kim realizes Clint wants her and Viki and asks, "Who do you want more?" He can't answer her. Kim already knows what she wants and urges Clint to think hard. She kisses his cheek and leaves.
In Angels Square, Ford and Jessica look for a tree. Ford thinks back to his childhood and anticipates giving Ryder everything he didn't have. He heads off to find the perfect tree. Nearby, Shaun gets Vivian to sign a petition to save "Paternity Row." Vivian hushes Shaun's mention of marriage again but wants to prove to Mrs. Evans how much she loves him. She points out a huge tree and wants to surprise his parents with it. If Shaun can't give her a ring, he plans to get Vivian a tree. Shaun takes off. Jessica joins Vivian. The women watch as Shaun and Ford fight over the same tree. They calm the guys down. When Jessica and Ford refuse to sign Shaun's petition he agrees to give them the tree if they do. Jessica and Ford sign then privately admit how much they love the soap. Jessica snaps at Aubrey on their way out. Rama invites Aubrey to spend the holidays with her and Vimal. Aubrey shares that Rex invited her to spend the holidays with him and Shane. She ordered a huge Christmas tree to surprise them with. Rama hears about Aubrey and Rex's kiss. Aubrey hopes when Rex returns, he'll be ready to let Gigi go. Over talk of Kim, Aubrey warns it's possible Kim's back on the streets. Rama refuses to hide from Kim. Kim appears and calls Rama a bitch. Rama lunges after her! Across the square, alone, Shaun takes out Vivian's engagement ring and vows to marry her.
In the living room at Llanfair, Kim has a bone to pick with Clint. He reads Kim's goodbye letter. She denies writing it. Kim reads Clint's goodbye letter. He denies writing it as well. Kim realizes Cutter duped them. Natalie appears and berates Kim. Clint refuses to allow Natalie to trash Kim any further. Natalie takes offense and leaves. Kim admits Cutter's her brother and explains how he framed her for murder. He's stunned to hear Kim's the real Aubrey Wentworth. Kim assures Clint she had nothing to do with Cutter's plan to scam the Buchanans. Clint believes Kim but asks about her friend in the special care facility. Kim confesses. Stacy's still alive and has Gigi's face. Out in the foyer, Nigel arrives and ushers Roxy, Shaun and Destiny into the kitchen to resume their meeting.
At Llanfair, Viki finishes up a call with Rex. They make plans to meet at the airport and fly to Texas together. After she hangs up, Clint accuses Viki of running away because of Kim. She denies it but claims if Kim appeared, Clint would turn his back on Viki in a heartbeat. They argue the point. Clint warns if Viki leaves she'll be throwing away everything they just got back. Viki refuses to be his consolation prize and asks if he'd be waiting around for Kim had she not sent the letter. Clint can't give her a straight answer and follows Viki out the door. His ankle monitor goes off. Clint kisses Viki and challenges her to tell him what he feels for her isn't real. "Tell it to the police," Viki replies and leaves. Later, Clint answers the door and is stunned to see Kim.
In the Kentucky jail, Kim refuses to tell Rex anything about Stacy until Aubrey returns with the photo that can clear her. Kim looks at her nails and anticipates getting a manicure and carving it into Clint. Arguing over Stacy, Kim spills how Stacy changed her face to get Rex. Kim tried to talk Stacy out of it. If Stacy was going to take over Gigi's life, Rex wonders what Stacy was going to do with Gigi. Kim wasn't going to let anything bad happen. Stacy arrived in Llanview on the day Rex and Gigi were going to be married. She tells Rex how she pulled Stacy from the same basement Gigi died in. She took Stacy to a special care facility in Kentucky. Last time Kim saw Stacy, she was in a coma. When Aubrey texts Rex the photo of Cutter next to the dead body at the Spotted Pony, he shows Kim, who says, "I'm free." Rex calls Aubrey to thank her. He's lucky to have her in his life and will call when he returns to Llanview.
Rex and Aubrey wait at the Kentucky jail. When Kim's brought to them, Rex explains her boss at the Spotted Pony led them there. Kim claims she was framed and begs Rex to help her. Rex knows Stacy's alive and wearing Gigi's face. He demands Kim help him find her. Kim will help Rex and Aubrey find Stacy if they get her out of jail and clear her. She reads Clint's goodbye letter. Kim needs to face Clint for blowing her off. She admits Stacy was in the basement when Gigi died. Aubrey warns Rex not to trust Kim. Rex can't resist being able to confront Stacy and agrees to help Kim. Aubrey leaves to find the photo that can clear Kim.
At The Spotted Pony, Rama tells Kim she's there to collect. Kim promises to pay Rama back. Cutter appears. Kim asks him to verify their deal that's going to make them rich. Cutter refuses, calls in some cops and points to Kim. "I think you're busted," Rama tells Kim. Cutter acts as though he's with Rama. They went to the police to report that Kim's the killer. Rama shows her a photo of Kim standing over the man that Cutter drugged years ago. Kim screams at Cutter for setting her up. Kim runs, but Rama grabs her. The cops have to break up their fight. Once Kim's in cuffs, Cutter privately warns that Rama was coming after Kim anyway. It was her or him. As Kim's dragged away, she screams for Cutter to take care of Stacy.

Fully automated DNA lab-on-a-chip microfluidic system wins Dolomite's Productizing Science® competition 2013
Royston, UK (9th June 2014) – Dolomite have announced the winner of their 2013 Productizing Science® competition as Molbot Pte. Ltd. The company submitted the concept of a low-cost bench-top molecular biology "Minilab" for automating molecular biology applications.
Dolomite's Productizing Science® Competition seeks to find innovative microfluidic concepts and give the winner the chance to develop theirs into a commercially successful product and share in the rewards. Molbot's molecular biology workstation Minilab will utilize microfluidic technology to take traditional sequential manipulations such as PCR assembly, thermal cycling, analysis and purification and perform them 'on chip' in an automated way. The concept is to integrate traditional 'stand-alone' systems such as imaging, PCR, centrifuge, electrophoresis and pipetting and combine them into one automated system.
The product will be the machine, which will be used with disposable labs-on-chips, different types of which will represent different applications and will be automatically identified by the machine. Users will load the microfluidic chip and necessary reagents in the machine and the Minilab will execute the required functions for the task, meaning that user input is kept to an absolute minimum. The main appeal of the Minilab is that it will be considerably cheaper than existing technology-driven specialist microfluidic products. Focused more on user needs, it will be a product that is useful and attainable for many biology laboratories.
Dolomite were impressed with Molbot's user-friendly and user-focused concept and saw the benefits it would provide to a number of applications such as DNA testing, genotyping, DNA purification and especially plasmid DNA cloning. The latter involves stitching two pieces of DNA strands together to make a new gene combination, which is an important, time-consuming and often failure-prone task. The automated nature of the Minilab minimises the need for user interaction, which not only saves time but also reduces the risk of failure. Working with Molbot, Dolomite's engineering expertise and knowledge and understanding of microfluidic droplet technologies will take their winning concept into a productized commercial solution which will be available to buy from Dolomite's microfluidic webshop.
Notable runners-up were Amar Basu of Wayne State University, US, who came up with a software/hardware solution for measuring and controlling droplet size in real time and also Michele Zagnoni, of the University of Strathclyde, UK, who designed a reusable and semi-automated microfluidic architecture for ion channel drug screening. While the Productizing Science® competition can only have one winner, both runners-up had concepts worthy of future discussion with Dolomite.

Firmstone excels as he draws out his favourite peg at South Clifton
Posted: October 11, 2012|
Dynamite Baits / Scunthorpe & D.A.A. Thursday League
Last Thursdays match which was held at South Clifton was the hardest match of the year so far with anglers struggling for fish with some anglers failing to even register a bite throughout the day.
The tide was right and this normally means that the bream have a go but on this occasion it was only the odd skimmer that was caught.
Malc Firmstone (Lincoln) drew peg 46 in the Car Park.
He did not need a map to get to his peg as to my reckoning; he has drawn this peg four times in the last five weeks.
Firmstone fished the groundbait feeder with chopped worm and caster.
He caught small roach and the odd skimmer for 5lb 12oz.
Brigg AC rod Colin Williams was the runner up on this occasion from peg 43.
Williams also fished the groundbait feeder with worm. He caught flat fish for a weight of 4lb 12oz.
Colin Batchelor on peg 34 in the Ski Zone Section finished in third spot.
Batchelor (Brigg AC) caught skimmers and flat fish on worm on the pole over a bed of worm and caster for 3lb 6oz. Winterton rod Dave Norwood was fourth from peg 45 with 3lb 5oz taken on the worm feeder.
The Lincoln Veterans have been in action again, the week before last they visited Rushfield Lakes at Potterhamworth to fish for the June Buckthorpe Cup.
It was Phil Kirk on peg four that took the honours. Kirk fished corn on the long pole for a weight of 21lb 9oz.
Bill Whitworth was the bridesmaid on this occasion. Whitworth, on peg 15 fished worm over a bed of chopped worm and caster and at the end of the session he took 13lb to the scales.
Henry Cooper finished ion third spot from his draw at peg 22. Cooper fished corn on the feeder for 9lb 8oz.
Ted Wroe was fourth on the day at peg eight. Wroe alternated between pellet and maggot on the hook for 9lb 2oz.
Last week 18 veterans turned out at Marriss's Pit at Langworth to fish for the Lea and June Buckthorpe Trophy.
Dave Robinson drew peg four where he offered pellet and corn on the pole.
His final weight of 104lb 3oz gave him a clear victory.
Bill Whitworth finished in second place again and this time the Lincoln rod fished pellet and worm on the pole.
His weight of 85lb 10oz was just enough to clinch second place and hold off the challenge of Dave Butcher.
Butcher was on peg 20 where he alternated between corn and maggot on the hook o0n the feeder.
He was just a few ounces behind second place with 85lb 5oz.
Phil Kirk was fourth on the day at peg 6 when he weighed in 70lb taken on the pole.
Grant Butterfield Memorial Trophy
The stretches at North Clifton and Laughterton were used to host the twenty seven anglers who competed in this match the Saturday before last.
The river Trent was well above its normal level and carrying between six and seven foot of extra water.
The extra water pushed the anglers back to the bottom of the flood bank and for most anglers this meant that bites were few and far between.
A few anglers found the fish to be feeding and Trent ace Dean Smith had the best weight of the day from his draw at end peg 41 at Laughterton.
Smith (Lincoln Whisby AS) fished the groundbait feeder with chopped worm and caster.
He caught two barbel for about 16lb and topped up his weight with a few skimmers and hybrids for a final weight of 26lb 5oz.
Gary Thompson is enjoying a real purple patch and he finished second after drawing end peg 1 at Laughterton.
The Lincoln Whisby AS rod also fished the feeder where he took four bream, three skimmers and some silver fish for 18lb 6oz.
It was another end peg that finished in third spot. John Small (Lincoln Whisby AS) was on peg 50 where he fished the feeder with caster and chopped worm.
He caught a bream of 6lb, some skimmers and silver fish that took his tally to 16lb 8oz.
Unbelievably fourth place on the day also came from an end peg.
Alan Henry (Shimano/Dynamite) drew peg nine at Laughterton and he put 5lb 14oz onto the scales which consisted of a bream, a couple of skimmers and some silver fish.
Rushfield Open
Maybe its time that younger brother Chris Small gave older brother John some tips and advice on how to win matches as Chris was successful again the week before last at Rushfield Lake.
Small was drawn at peg two where he fished the method feeder to the far side. His carp weight of 37lb 9oz was enough to take the honours.
Veteran rod Malc Green was second on the day from peg five. Green fished corn in the margins and only caught four fish but these fish took the scales to 26lb 1oz.
Les Smith took third spot on the day from peg three. Smith alternated his hook bait on the method feeder for 21lb 6oz.
Last week the match was won by Barney Todd from peg 25. Todd had managed to tally up five DNW's (Did Not Weigh) over the past weeks but finally showed his true class by edging a very close match.
Todd fished meat on the method feeder and dead red maggot to take 34lb 8oz to the scales.
Runner-up on this occasion was Bill White at Peg 15. White (Lincoln Whisby AS) fished polony on the method feeder for a straight 34lb. "Up in the water Dave" finished in third place. Ironically he fished up in the water with pellet at peg 13 for 26lb 8oz.
Hospital Club AC
Members of the Hospital Club AC visited Westwood Lakes at Boston the Sunday before last where they held a match on Skylark Lake.
The best weight taken of the eighteen anglers that competed was taken by Dale Speck at peg two.
Speck had a mixed bag of silver fish and carp that he took on maggot on the long pole.
His weight of 26lb 4oz was enough to take the honours on this occasion.
The runner-up was Steve Watson at the next peg three. Watson also fished red maggot on the pole at fourteen metres.
His net of silver fish and carp settled the scales at 22lb 4oz.
Gally Watson was on peg 12 and he finished in third spot. Gally fished the pole to the far side and baited with maggot for 15lb 14oz.
Whisby Saturday Series
Ten anglers fished this match the Saturday before last and both Lakes Two and Three were used.
On the day it was Clayton Bowring who took the honours.
Bowring was drawn at noted bridge peg one in Lake Three where he fished paste on the pole.
His weight of 51lb 7oz was enough to secure his victory. Trace Benson was the runner up on this occasion.
Benson drew the other noted bridge peg 16 in Lake Two.
He alternated between pellet on the pole at nine metres and down the edge for 48lb 12oz.
Keith Hage drew corner peg seven in Lake Two where he decided to fish polony on the method feeder.
His all carp net of 38lb 9oz was enough for third place in the match.

How is proteinuria treated?
Treatment for proteinuria begins with seeking medical care from your health care provider. To determine if you have proteinuria, your health care provider will ask you to provide a urine sample for laboratory testing.
Treatment for proteinuria depends on the underlying cause. However, the goal of treatment is to reduce the levels of protein in the urine. Several approaches are successful and include hypertensive therapy and, in the case of diabetic kidney disease, therapy to maintain normal blood glucose levels.
Treatments for proteinuria
Treatments that are used to control proteinuria or its underlying causes include:
- Angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor (ACE) or angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB) medications to lower blood pressure and protect kidney function
- Dietician consultation and a healthy meal plan
- Diuretics
- Insulin or other medications to help control blood sugar levels in people with diabetes
- Low-protein diet
- Low-sodium diet
- Treatment of any underlying chronic conditions
What are the potential complications of proteinuria?
You can help minimize your risk of serious complications by following the treatment plan you and your health care professional design specifically for you. Complications of proteinuria include:
- Adverse effects of proteinuria treatment
- Elevated cholesterol
- Hypercoagulable state (too much blood clotting)
- Kidney damage
- Kidney failure and need for dialysis

What is proteinuria?
Proteinuria is an abnormal condition in which the kidney releases too
much protein into the urine. Proteinuria is also known as albuminuria,
due to the presence of one type of protein, albumin, in the urine. It is
often caused by dysfunctional kidneys, high blood pressure, or
diabetes. Proteinuria is a sign of chronic disease of or damage to the

What causes proteinuria?
Proteinuria is the result of protein in the blood passing through the kidneys and into the urine. Diabetes and high blood pressure are common causes of proteinuria. Acute illness or dehydration can result in a transient increase in a urine protein measurement.

Film screening "Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky" by Dmitry Trakovsky followed by Q&As with the director
Sat, March 5, 2011 • 6:00 PM • FAC 21
Documentary director Dmitry Trakovsky explores the mysterious legacy of enigmatic Russian film director Andrei Tarkovsky.
The film was conceived in honor of the 20th anniversary of the death of one of the greatest directors in the history of cinema - Andrei Tarkovsky. The young filmmaker Dmitry Trakovsky sets out in search of his favorite director's legacy. His journey leads him to fifteen moving interviews in California, Italy, Sweden, and finally, Russia, as he attempts to come closer to the meaning of one of Tarkovsky's most enigmatic beliefs... that death doesn't exist.
The result is the acclaimed documentary "Meeting Andrei Tarkovsky," which takes an in-depth and poetic look at the late Russian filmmaker who created under the oppressive censorship of the Soviet government. It explores the life and films of Tarkovsky through diverse interviews and stories told by friends, colleagues and others who have been influenced by his art, providing a rare glimpse into Tarkovsky's working methods and personal philosophy of humanity.

As far as we're concerned, if the team is winning games Doug can do double dutch on the sideline with Greg Adkins and Rob Moore for all we care. However, we know you're wondering exactly Doug is suddenly saying down there on the sidelines after being largely stoic for the past three years. Luckily for you, we're here to help.
In a Three Idiots on Sports exclusive, we bring to you the things Doug Marrone is really yelling about on the Syracuse sideline....and it might just surprise you. Doug's not your average football coach.

Nuttall soars to gold
For the second straight year, Emma Nuttall has captured the gold medal in the high jump at the Aviva England Athletics U23 championships.
The Scottish high jumper — who also competes with the Trinity Western Spartans track and field team — cleared a personal best 1.86m at the meet in Bedford, England over the weekend.
One of her Spartan teammates, Hazel Ross, was also at the meet, competing in the U20 division.
Ross won bronze in the high jump, clearing 1.67m. She was also eighth in the 100m hurdles after posting a personal best of 14.35 in the heats.
Both athletes return to Langley for their second year of CIS eligibility in the fall.

There's a fashionable new way to beat the rap when you're accused of breaking NCAA rules. Plead clueless.
It worked for Cam Newton and Auburn. Now Jim Tressel and Ohio State are hoping the NCAA buys the same defense.
On behalf of truly clueless people everywhere, I beseech the NCAA not to fall for it. Tressel and his Buckeye cohorts can't be as ignorant as they appeared on Tuesday night.
In a farce of a press conference, Ohio State admitted that Tressel knew players were breaking rules. He ignored it in direct violation of his contract.
Instead of even a tisk, tisk, Tressel was praised for his integrity and painted as a victim of torturous circumstances. But just to show the Buckeyes take rule-breaking seriously, Tressel will have to pay a $250,000 fine, sit out the first two games against mighty Akron and Toledo and write on a chalkboard 1,000 times: I will beat Michigan … I will beat Michigan … I will beat Michigan.
"He is our coach and we trust him implicitly," Athletic Director Gene Smith said.
Especially when it comes to keeping secrets. It's hard to say what was funnier, Tressel quoting George W. Bush or Ohio State president Gordon Gee's reaction when asked if he even considered firing the coach.
"Are you kidding," Gee said. "I'm just hopeful the coach doesn't dismiss me."
At least we know who really runs things around Columbus. Since the Buckeyes are slapping themselves on the wrist, it's up to the NCAA to bring down the hammer.
At the very least, Ohio State should forfeit the 12 games it won last year using players Tressel should have known were ineligible. It should ship the Sugar Bowl trophy to Arkansas with an apology note attached. And just for kicks, sweater vests should be banned on the sideline.
Surely the NCAA won't be satisfied with Ohio State's self-imposed sanctions. Surely it will look at Tressel's explanation and go, "Huh?"
Last December an investigation revealed five players, including star QB Terrelle Pryor, traded autographs and memorabilia for discounted tattoos and other goodies. The school said it had no idea any of this was going on.
As Yahoo! first reported Monday, it turns out Tressel received e-mails eight months earlier. They were from an unnamed lawyer who said the tattoo shop owner, Eddie Rife, was an ex-con and the federal government had investigated him for drug trafficking.
Tressel didn't just smell a rat. It was e-mailed to his office.
"Obviously it was a tremendous concern to me," he said.
So tremendous he did nothing about it. A coach got a solid tip that players are breaking rules and might be part of a criminal investigation. Tressel said he feared the players' safety might be at risk yet he didn't tell his athletic director?
He said he didn't want to violate the confidentiality of the email or impede the investigation. The befuddled coach didn't know where to turn for advice.
How about the school's attorney? Tressel is 58 years old and has dealt with plenty of lawyers. Hasn't he ever heard of attorney-client privilege? Tressel could have told Ohio State's attorney that he was selling game plans to Rich Rodriguez and it would have remained confidential.
"You spend time thinking about how to do things better," Tressel said. "I don't think less of myself at the moment. I felt at the time I was doing the right thing for the safety of our young people."
Not to mention the safety of their playing status.
Even after the story broke in December and there was nothing to impede, Tressel stayed quiet. Ohio State said he didn't lie to NCAA investigators or the school by keeping mum, but Tressel is a Biblical expert.
He was on a book-signing tour when this stink erupted. The book is titled "Life Promises for Success: Promises from God on achieving your best."
Tressel knows there are sins of commission and sins of omission. By acting clueless, he chose the latter. And it wasn't the first time.
From his days at Youngstown State to Maurice Clarett and Troy Smith, Tressel has found ways not to notice when stars are getting paid. He's not the only coach that seems to happen to, but he is the only one currently autographing a book about integrity and honor and doing your best.
A former player tweeted that Ohio State players had been cavorting with Rife for years. Maybe Tressel was too busy writing his book to notice.
"The integrity of this program and the integrity of the coach is absolutely superb," Gee said.
This is the CEO who stood by in December and let the five suspended Buckeyes play in the Sugar Bowl. That whole thing was greased by the cozy relationship between the bowls, the Big Ten Conference and the NCAA.
The same forces will be in play when the NCAA Committee on Infractions rules on Ohio State's case. Why am I having Cecil Newton flashbacks?
He allegedly tried to peddle his son to the highest bidder, but Cam got off because he supposedly had no idea what dear old dad was up to. After that exercise in leniency, it's high time for the NCAA to re-establish who's the boss.
Oh wait, we know who that is at Ohio State. Even if the poor guy doesn't have a clue.

Product description
'Guy Deutscher is that rare beast, an academic who talks good sense about linguistics...he argues in a playful and provocative way, that our mother tongue does indeed affect how we think and, just as important, how we perceive the world' - "Observer". Does language reflect the culture of a society? Is our mother-tongue a lens through which we perceive the world? Can different languages lead their speakers to different thoughts? In "Through the Language Glass", acclaimed author Guy Deutscher will convince you that, contrary to the fashionable academic consensus of today, the answer to all these questions is - yes. A delightful amalgam of cultural history and popular science, this book explores some of the most fascinating and controversial questions about language, culture and the human mind.

Customer reviews
By Patricia Tyler 12 Apr 2011
Read a review from the New York Times for this book and they excerpted various parts. Unfortunately, those parts were the only interesting ones and maybe another 10 pages. If your not interested in the history of linguistics, forget it. It is not for the general public nor those interested in languages.
Review quote
"Jaw-droppingly wonderful ... A marvellous and surprising book which left me breathless and dizzy with delight. The ironic, playful tone at the beginning gradates into something serious that is never pompous, intellectually and historically complex and yet always pellucidly laid out. Plus I learned the word plaidoyer which I shall do my utmost to use every day" Stephen Fry "Fabulously interesting ... a remarkably rich, provocative and intelligent work of pop science" Sunday Times "Brilliant [and] beautifully written" Financial Times "So robustly researched and wonderfully told that it is hard to put down" New Scientist "A delight to read" Spectator

Horizon Honors' Mikaela Martin named Fulton Homes Character Counts Monthly Winner
High school seniors aren't often known for understanding their place in the grand scheme of things, but don't tell that to Mikaela Martin of Horizon Honors High School.
A member of the cross country and track teams, Martin coordinated a shoe drive with both high school and middle school students -- collecting and cleaning 190 pairs of shoes and distribution them with the Salvation Army on Thanksgiving.
Martin reached out to the middle school's Girls on the Run program, which strives to promote a healthy lifestyle among middle school aged-girls, to coordinate the drive and spread the word.
"I thought it would be a great way to get the little girls involved and the high school girls involved and serve other people," she said.
But that's not where Martin's good will ends.
She also went on a mission to Haiti, and wants to take a year off between graduating from college -- where she expects to study kinesiology -- and graduate school to take mission trips around the world.
"It's amazing to see the conditions that other people live in and how they can be content and happy in them," she said. "It really made me want to just be positive and happy in all situations, and also give everything I can to other people."

The Department of Microbiology and Immunology is a multidisciplinary department encompassing the areas of cellular and molecular immunology, virology, microbial genetics, and pathogenic bacteriology. The department currently consists of 27 primary faculty and 26 secondary faculty and is currently recruiting additional scientists.
The goals of the department's graduate program are to provide each student with the opportunity to acquire the theoretical background and conceptual framework with the technical research skills necessary to attain a Ph.D. During the first year of study a broad educational base in all disciplines together with laboratory rotations introduce students to the diverse array of interests in the department. Students then choose one area of concentration for their research. The varied interests of the faculty provide numerous opportunities for student participation and a broad choice in dissertation research.
Active research in immunology includes the areas of cytotoxicity, programmed cell death, cytokine receptor signaling, clinical and experimental bone marrow transplantation, stem cell biology, gene therapy for cancer treatment, antigen recognition, cell differentiation and communication, aging of the immune system, interleukins, genetic control of immunoglobulin production, gene activation, and evolution of the immune response. Research in other areas includes molecular biology of virus-host interaction in both animal and human systems, control and regulation of bacterial pathogenesis, selective tumor chemotherapy and radiation therapy, and therapy of parasitic infections.
Training in the graduate program is comprised of required course work, elected course work, seminars, and research. In addition, students participate in teaching and journal clubs. Students are required to present their experimental work annually to the faculty and their peers at special Work-in-Progress seminars. All students are encouraged to participate in the Eastern Student Research Forum held annually at the University of Miami and organized and staffed by graduate students from all the basic science departments. Each year, internationally recognized scientists visit the department as guests participating in our Special Seminar Series to meet and discuss science with the graduate students. As each of our graduate students progresses in their work they are expected to attend national meetings to present their ongoing research.
The University of Miami Miller School of Medicine has a centralized admissions point that allows students to explore multiple research areas of interest before deciding on a specific program to complete their dissertation work. All students are admitted through the
Program in Biomedical Sciences (PIBS)
for the PhD programs in Biochemistry & Molecular Biology, Cancer Biology, Microbiology & Immunology, Molecular Cell & Developmental Biology, Molecular & Cellular Pharmacology, Neuroscience, Physiology & Biophysics, and Human Genetics & Genomics. The PIBS Admissions Committee will review applications as they are received. We encourage all applicants to submit their application by December 15th.
Individuals are accepted into the graduate program with the ultimate goal of developing a creative and critically thorough research scientist. Such development is encouraged through the students performance of experimental protocols intended to address critical questions rooted in scientifically important areas of research.
Such an objective requires an intense level of commitment on the part of the faculty and student concerning both time and effort - a commitment which may be fully appreciated only upon completion of the Ph.D. degree. Students accepted into the program are expected to demonstrate proficiency in formal courses, a written comprehensive examination, and a dissertation proposal examination before being admitted to Ph.D. candidacy. Candidates are expected to show increasing comprehension in their chosen discipline and to develop independent research. Qualities of successful candidates include: independence, problem solving abilities, patience, persistence, and the ability to learn from ones mistakes.

|Developing a Postdoctoral Mentoring Plan
Postdoctoral mentoring typically includes support for maximizing research skills and productivity as part of professional development as well as assistance in preparing for career success. Today postdocs need to consider all of their career options (academia, industry, nonprofit, governmental), and so effective mentoring becomes even more essential to their success.
Postdoctoral mentoring plans can provide a blueprint for the critical professional guidance that has been shown to be a key indicator for a successful postdoctoral outcome (Sigma Xi Postdoc Survey, 2004-05). Effective mentoring can lead to more independent, productive and satisfied postdocs. Mentoring plans also can be used to satisfy recent requirements by the National Science Foundation (NSF) on proposals that include support for postdocs.
Please note: The recommendations and suggestions for a mentoring plan made herein have not been endorsed by the NIH, the NSF, or any other government organization. The National Postdoctoral Association (NPA) is providing this toolkit of best practices as a service to its members.
Mentoring Plan "How To"
Developing a mentoring plan does not have to be complicated or time-consuming. The four essential elements of an effective mentoring plan are:
It is recommended that mentors avoid using "boilerplate" or a "laundry list" of activities and instead tailor any mentoring plan to the postdocs, the postdoc supervisors, the project and the institution. In practice mentoring is very individualized; therefore a mentoring plan should allow for flexibility to accommodate an individual's needs as well as style of interaction (especially in the case where the postdoc has not yet been identified).
Structure for Every Mentoring Plan
The two primary features of any mentoring plan should be (1) professional development, including research development, and (2) career development. The former involves helping the postdoc become a productive and independent researcher, and the latter involves providing guidance and resources for identifying and achieving the next career milestone. Within professional development, core competencies should be considered.
Mentoring Activities
In addition to the core mentoring activities above, the following are suggestions for other types of activities that could also be included in a mentoring plan.

Reports have suggested that Valur midfielder Haukur Pall Sigurdsson has spent time training with the Staggies in the hope of landing a permanent deal.
The 26-year-old is a goal-scoring playmaker who has spent his entire career to date in Scandinavian football.
Adams claims he has made no approach to bring the Iceland international to Scotland, with his cards being played close to his chest.
He said in the Daily Record: "I don't know where those reports are coming from. I'm not going to speak about January at the moment.
"There's always speculation at this time of the year but we don't have anyone on trial."
Adams has also refused to be drawn on speculation suggesting that he will move to land Blackburn Rovers duo Jordan Slew and Yann Songo'o on loan in the New Year.
He added: "I don't want to say anything about any players because we're just looking to the important games over the festive period."

We were pretty bummed last week to learn that former Happy Days star Erin Moran was not exactly having happy days. The 52-year old is currently homeless in Indiana, bouncing between cheap hotels with her husband Steve Fleischmann. We cursed the fates for being so cruel to Erin, and wished that somebody would do something to help her. And then, like a hero on a horseback, entered…The Fonz.
Erin's one-time co-star Henry Winkler is reportedly working to secure the struggling actress actress a part on the new series of Arrested Development. The series is produced (and narrated) by her ex-TV brother Ron Howard, so it can't be that hard, right? "Henry is absolutely shattered over what's become of Erin," a friend told the National Enquirer. "He desperately wants to help get back back on her feet." Winkler plays the Bluth family lawyer Barry Zuckerkorn on the cult TV show. And yes, he's very good.
Moran's career has essentially bottomed out since her last major role in the Happy Days spinoff Joanie Loves Chachi back in 1983. She had a few TV guest spots, and an appearance on VH1's own Celebrity Fit Club in 2008. Her house went into foreclosure in 2010, and over the summer she was forced out of her mother's trailer. We know it could just be a rumor, but we like to think that The Fonz looks after his own. And we know that's a little cornball.

2013 Team Outlook: Green Bay Packers
PK Mason Crosby, GB - Bye Week Fill-in
It was a very poor 2012 for Mason Crosby. He missed 12 field goals, converting 21 of his 33 attempts. The typically strong-legged alum from the University of Colorado was 2 for 9 from 50-plus yards. The Packers have brought in Giorgio Tavecchio, an undrafted free agent from the Cal Golden Bears. Crosby is not worth a draft pick even if he does keep his job, despite playing for an offense that will give him a plethora of extra point attempts.
Green Bay - Solid/Safe Pick
Green Bay fell from the ranks of the NFL's elite defenses last year. They still managed 47 sacks, good for fourth in the NFL (and having WR Randall Cobb as a returner should lead to a special teams TD sooner rather than later). The continued development of OLB Nick Perry and the recent arrival of UCLA DE Datone Jones could swing this defense back into the conversation of a Top 5 defense. Replacing future Hall of Famer Charles Woodson is next to impossible though. Elite caliber players like OLB Clay Matthews, DT B.J. Raji and a healthy ILB Desmond Bishop should keep Green Bay's D/ST around the Top 10.

Thinking of watching a werewolf movie tonight. Anyone know any good ones that I could snag on Netflix?
if you haven't seen the uncut version rather than the plain vanilla one they show on cable,this is my favorite werewolf movie..
Give it a try..turn off the lights,turn up the sound and enjoy..a little more graphic than anything they show on the cut up cable version..
Ditto with American Werewolf in London. Brilliant.;-D
....considering this the SKMB...mmmmm, how's about "loading up" Silver Bullet???...AND it has Busey!!!!!!!!!!!!!...
Even tho the special effects are dated, The Howling is still a great movie! And, it's got Dee Wallace!!
Been known to enjoy a Silver Bullet or two myself..:heheh:
American Werewolf In London is still the best. The Wolfman remake with Del Toro and Hopkins is top-notch, though. Lotta folks didn't dig it--lotta folks stupid, too.
(BTW, GNTL--love the Busey/Wild Turkey pic--that's gonna be my new screen saver--for SURE!)

The coupling constants of the baryon resonances to the scalar mesons are determined from the decuplet vacuum masses and SU(3) symmetry relations. Di erent methods of mass generation show significant differences in the properties of the spin- 3 2 particles and in the nuclear equation of state
- Critical review of quark gluon plasma signals (2000)
- Compelling evidence for a new form of matter has been claimed to be formed in Pb+Pb collisions at SPS. We critically review two suggested signatures for this new state of matter: First the suppression of the J/psi , which should be strongly suppressed in the QGP by two different mechanisms, the color-screening [1] and the QCD-photoe ect [2]. Secondly the measured particle, in particular strange hadronic, ratios might signal the freeze-out from a quark-gluon phase.

Fight terrorism with relationships and education as opposed to bullets and bombs. Will this radical approach ever become part of our military agenda? In some ways it already is, thanks to the work of Greg Mortenson and his Central Asia Institute (CAI). Mortenson's previous work, "Three Cups of Tea," is now "required reading for all officers enrolled in counterinsurgency courses at the Pentagon."
In the book, "Stones into Schools" author Greg Mortenson resumes his description of the Central Asia Institute (CAI) and its efforts to promote "peace with books not bombs, in Afghanistan and Pakistan." Mortenson now has two books on the New York Times Best Sellers top-five lists: one for hardcover fiction and one for paperback fiction.
Some of the flaws in writing and readability of the first book, "Three Cups of Tea", have been omitted in this sequel with welcome results. The second book is not only inspirational, it is a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants thriller complete with a "dirty dozen" and starring a rather humble, very human humanitarian.
The story begins in 1999 with the dramatic entrance of a group of Kirghiz horseman from a very remote part of Afghanistan, following six days of non-stop riding. At that time, a pledge was made between the beleaguered Kirghiz and Mortenson for his group to build a school on land donated by the local elders. Between that 1999 promise and the actual point that the CAI was able to build a viable school stretch 10 years of adventures and more than 370 pages of text.
No stories are more heart-wrenching than those of the survivors and dead from the disastrous earthquake in Pakistan on Oct. 8, 2008. The author includes emotional descriptions of the horrors of a young former Taliban schoolteacher pulling schoolgirls out of their collapsed building, then describes how the man worked to rebuild schooling for both the boys and girls in his community. He also states "some of the smartest and most effective assistance was provided by groups of Islamic militants," who included conservative educational madrassas in their plans unlike most aid groups which mainly covered the necessities of food, water and shelter.
Mortenson and those who work with him -- mainly the "dirty dozen" in Afghanistan and Pakistan -- go to great lengths to establish relationships and to ensure that their work is based on expressed community needs before laying the first stones for a school building. Their efforts have paid off. In this Taliban-oppressed region where girls can be attacked with battery acid simply because they choose to attend school, there has been very little violence associated with the CAI built schools.
In between the rousing scenes of tribal jirgas and delicate negotiations, Mortenson includes various points of fact and perspective. From 2000 to today, school attendance has increased from about 800,000 boys only to almost 8 million children, of which 2.4 million are girls. Mortenson points out that Afghans want children to go to school because literacy offers "hope, progress and the possibility of controlling their own destiny."
This book about education in the third world has great meaning for our own. In a war-torn country where survival can be an epic struggle, education is incredibly important, worth almost any sacrifice. What is it worth to us?

Editorial: Use of drop box a good next step in fighting drug abuse
One of the key strategies in combating prescription drug abuse is taking the drugs out of circulation when they are not needed by their legitimate users. Now there is a new tool in Huntington to assist in that effort.
The front lobby of the Huntington Police Department at 675 10th St. now sports what looks like a streetside postal receptacle, but it has a much different purpose. People who have unwanted or expired prescription drugs or over-the-counter medications can dispose of them by dropping by and placing them in the new drop box. The drop box is accessible for the public when the department lobby is open, from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The box was installed due to a collaborative effort of the police department and the Cabell County Substance Abuse Prevention Partnership, or CCSAPP, a local coalition aimed at preventing drug and alcohol abuse.
The decision to place the drop box where people can conveniently dispose of prescription drugs is well-founded. Both the police department and CCSAPP have taken part in operating the drug take back days in recent years, and they're fully aware of the response those have received. For example, more than 3,700 pounds of unwanted prescription drugs were turned in across West Virginia during last year's national drug take back day.
But those events occur just a few days a year at most, and CCSAPP officials note that they frequently receive calls from people asking when the next take back day will be. Making a drop box available to the public in a safe and secure location on a regular basis provides much more opportunity for the medications to be disposed of properly.
That will help reduce the availability of drugs for diversion to illegitimate uses, and allow residents who might otherwise become targets of drug abusers to feel safer.

Since Fall has arrived in Indiana it's going to be getting cooler with each passing week. This should remind us all that our days of playing outside in the sunshine, wearing flip flops and shorts are very limited. For that reason you should enjoy every single moment outdoors that you can! The Indiana Department of Natural Resources agrees. In addition, they want you to learn all about the opportunities available to "play" outside in Indiana.
The Hoosier Outdoor Experience is just that, a FREE outdoor experience with more than SIXTY activities that your family can have a chance to participate in (ummm, for FREE). We're talking remote controlled boats, fishing, hunting, trapping, water dog demonstrations, fossil hunting, pony rides, hay rides, horse drawn carriage rides, gold panning, jeep rides, cave simulation, disc golf and pretty much EVERYTHING you can do outdoors in Indiana. This event is so big that it takes place over two days. Some events are only available on Saturday but that information is here.
Head over to Fort Harrison State Park on Saturday and Sunday, September 15th-16th from 9am to 6pm and be ready to play! Wear or bring appropriate clothing for most any possibility. No pets allowed unless they are guide animals. Bicycles will not be allowed in the park the day of the event. Alcohol and coolers must be left at home. Parking will not be at the park, you will have to park at the Major General E.J. Bean Finance Center parking lot (8899 East 56th Street) and take a shuttle in.
Food will be available for sale at the event but you are invited to bring your own (just not in a cooler). Strollers are permitted. Bring sunblock, sunglasses and a hat for all events. Water bottles are permitted.
Registration is not required but it is requested just to help the DNR get an idea of what to expect. Last year there were over 20,000 visitors!
See you there!
My name is Katy Mann, and I'm the creator of Indy with Kids. With over 10 years of experience working with children, and my excitement towards the great city of Indianapolis; I offer readers guidance about great events and activities to do around Indianapolis with their kids and grandchildren.

The 10 Questions Survey
1. In baseball each player gets a "walk up song" that plays on his way up to the plate. What song would you pick?
If someone could make a mash up of Call Me Maybe by Carly Rae Jepsen and Wannabe by the Spice Girls, I think that would be my jam.
2. What's the best thing that happened to you last weekend?
Last weekend (and this one), Shane and I got to Skype with my sister who is studying abroad in London. My sister is 5 1/2 years younger than I am and is capable of driving me absolutely crazy. On the other hand, she is my best friend.
Here is us when she was little- I was so happy to get a little sister
My mom used to make all of our costumes and we were always in the same genre. Don't worry, my brother was a non-PC Indian this year too
This is us last year in Mexico. Once she got into high school, we became friends again and we talk or text pretty much everyday (yes, even when she's in London, you should feel bad for my parents' and their phone bill)
3. If you could have a starring role in any film already made, which movie would you pick?
Obviously Becky from Little Giants! This is a no brainer- she is a tomboy, she's also a cheerleader, and she got the guy. Also, she and I had the same killer bangs growing up and apparently she turned into a real fox so good for her!
4. What actor/actress would you have play you in a movie of your life?
I used to think that Ariel from The Little Mermaid was the most beautiful girl in the world so even though I'm not a redhead, I would have to say her.
5. What is your favorite quote?
This changes for me depending on what is going on in my life. Right now I'm in the thick of wedding planning so I like this one: "You come to love not by finding the perfect person, but by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly." – Sam Keen
Shane and I have said many times that we feel like our relationship came together as well as it did because of the places in our lives that we were both in when we met. If we had met in high school, I would have thought he was a slacker and he would have thought I was a goody two shoes. But we met at a time in our lives when our relationship clicked and we were both able to see how perfectly the other was for us.
6. What was your first concert?
I've actually never been to a real concert. I've been to a couple of free outdoors things but I've never bought a ticket to an actual concert- any recommendations?!
7. What Internet website do you visit the most?
I'm not sure but I would guess either Yahoo or Facebook (I'm addicted!)
8. Which of Snow White's 7 dwarfs describes you the best and why?
Who wants to be a dwarf when they can be Snow White?
9. If you were on death row, what would your last meal be?
Hmm, maybe mac and cheese, ice cream cake, and bottomless fries from Red Robin. Side note, if they're bottomless doesn't that mean that would push back the execution time? (Real story: my sister used to go there after tennis and after a few orders, she would ask them to bring her last round in a to go box)
10. What is the background of your computer?
A picture from our time share in Mexico

Great bass tones with practice-level power.
The Warwick BC20 20W 1x8" is a great option for bassists looking for a first amp or a great-sounding alternative for bedroom or backstage practice. It features a three-way EQ, DDL (Dynamic Distortion Limiter) for distortion-free play at high levels, and two instrument inputs for active or passive basses - and it's suitable for two instruments to play through at the same time. For practice-friendly features, the BC20 houses Aux. input to play along with a CD, MP3 or other media player, and a headphone output for silent play.

Twitter has just launched a new mobile service by the name of Vine that allows you to share short looping videos that are 6 seconds or less. Twitter says through their official blog "Like Tweets, the brevity of videos on Vine (6 seconds or less) inspires creativity. Now that you can easily capture motion and sound, we look forward to seeing what you create."
Vine is technically a separate service from Twitter, in fact it wasn't even made by Twitter, but later acquired. Upon downloading the Vine app and launching it however, it will integrate with your Twitter account(s) using iOS 6's Twitter integration. Shooting video on Vine is a breeze and simply requires you to tap your finger on the screen. When you do this video recording begins and you can record up to 6 seconds of video or take your finger off the screen to stop recording. Sound on the other hand is optional.
You can take a look at this cute example of Vine below…
Holding hands at Tilden park vine.co/v/biTaEEwdq2n?1
— James Buckhouse (@buckhouse) January 24, 2013
Other apps such as Cinemagram have tried to bridge the gap between photos and videos, but considering Twitter's large userbase it is likely their implementation may go mainstream. I must admit, although there is always new concepts for social networks, Vine definitely catches my attention. You really need to download it for yourself to understand.

Maureen is a special person and always has been. God bless her. I know her family is selflessly returning all the love and support she's always provided.
I totally agree. Great job by the Colatruglio's and their neighbors for bringing this display of waste and disrespect for the taxpayer's money, to the public's attention.
Another one we can thank for being ranked #20 most intelligent area in the nation. Whew - get rid of the riff raff one way or another.
Thank heavens you left. No way we'd be ranked the #20 most intelligent area.
Very nice story. Sorry she's leaving and hoping someone continues the great work of this wonderful sister. Happy transition to Sister Gloria. Wish we heard more of these selfless stories before they retire. Thank you Sean.
The kid was dumb to have refused to answer those who questioned him about leaving his backpack and just run away. Kudos to the woman and her son for being observant. Caring about yourself and others should be encouraged. If this young man ever did have evil intentions their sense of responsibility could have averted a tragedy. Being afraid to "make waves" means that the terrorists have won. Those instructors at the airports who trained those terrorists to fly (but not land) and the terrorists themselves,would agree with you totally.
I agree - nice story that really hits close to home. Sold our family home that we lived in since 1959 last month after our fathers' death. Very difficult because of all the memories. My grandmother, mother and father died in that home. Gone was the phone number that the family had since the 30's-40's too when the family lived in their previous home of 35 years and brought with us when we moved in 1959. Good luck Nick and wishing the best for your mom too.
ESPN's Mark Schwartz told Tomaselli (who had a crazy easily checked out story if they had bothered to do it) gave him Davis' number and never instructed him to tell the police. Tomaselli later asserted (and recanted - his normal mode of operation) that Davis told him what to say to corroborate Davis story. Davis in response said he knew that Tomaselli was lying about Bernie Fine. Schwartz had to know also. The Fed investigation was initiated because of Tomaselli's allegations.
I think that was Craig James not Merril Hoge
Who said it's close to Community? It's as close to Community as it is to Upstate or even to Lafayette Country Club. It's not in the same neighborood.
Let's just move all bridges. Why make anyone have to think before they drive? Using one's brain is really passe' just put cranes on the back of oversized trucks and start speeding down roads. Maybe we can start transporting skyscrapers and eliminate the last of these pesky bridges.
Crazy comments. I bet not one of you has attempted to adopt a baby or child to make such thoughtless comments. My daughter had an ectopic pregnancy after her marriage at the age of 24 and attempted to adopt for years. Her first attempt to adopt was a foster child who she loved and took care of from 3 months to 7 and a half months. The adoption proceeedings were halted when the drug addicted mom came back in the picture and the courts automatically said she had "rights" to the child.
My daughter then went the domestic route for adoption, was vetted but after another two year wait, anxiety and disappointment with the lack of adoptable children she decided to go through international channels. She now has 2 adorable Korean children but was 30 years old when the oldest came and 33 when her second child became available. To adopt these 2 children cost over $30,000, years of heartbreak and eventually ecstacy for the beautiful currently pre-teen grandchildren who finally graced our family starting over 11 years ago.
Stop making assumptions and cliche' statements to just fit political agendas. Check the facts about the availability and ease of adoption. Know the laws. Read the classsified for the desperate couples looking for children. Inform yourself about the baby and child stealing both domestic and international before assuming, please.
Bernie Fine also could have been arrested if there was evidence but he hasn't yet. you certainly aren't helping anybody with your lies and lack of credibility. Isn't there a basic right of innocent till proven guilty? I hope you get help -you have hurt enough people. You've accused your father, a neighbor growing up in Texas, Bernie Fine etc all of abusing you but of all these people you've accused, only you are the proven abuser. I hope you do get the help you need but we all know the one place you won't get it is these message boards while continuing to hurt other people including your own family.
So JB and the school should "make sure Melo has the grades to qualify"? Bet there are plenty of coaches and schools that do "make sure" that their players graduate. Hmm. Sounds like you admire Kansas St and their coach because they'd never let a player be ineligible. Interesting logic.
I lived in Hart Hall from 69-70 and then 70-71 when I moved off campus. The ropes were strung from Funnelle Hall up the hill to Snygg where I had classes. It was so windy and slippery that you'd fall right down the sidewalk. The ropes didn't prevent all falls. I took a nice header between Funnelle and the main sidewalk to Snygg when it was a snowy, icy, slippery. Books in one hand and the rope in the other couldn't prevent books and people from taking tumbles down the hill. People were falling all over.
Why are they denying it? I can understand making a mistake or someone forgetting but when so many graduates recall the same thing - what's the fuss in denying the ropes were there? They were there - someone made a mistake. End of story.
You let your prejudices write that message for you instead of even reading the article. You told everyone more about you and your biases than what you probably wanted exposed.
I'd agree but they brought this on themselves by not going to the administration first but complaining to a newspaper. They are the ones who made this public and open for judgement remember.
From their record it sounds like these girls had already quit. Why send it to the PS? Did they complain to the coach himself and Oswego district admins? Sounds like someone came from practice Friday (yesterday) and then they and their parents fired off an e-mail to the Post Standard.
I don't know of any worthwhile practice that the players aren't "out of breath and tired". Hopefully there is more to this for this action to be taken than individual critiques (shows it wasn't targeting just an individual) and a hard practice.
Way to make lemonade out of lemons! Love teh attitude. Great job Adam and best of luck with the shotput.
Who are you kidding. She got over that decades ago - it doesn't pay. Now she goes for headlines, a minimum of 33% and Jerry Springer cases. Real lawyers have a million jokes at her expense. She gave up her legitimate law practice decades ago. People knew when her name was mentioned that this would turn into a total circus. Read up honey.

Today, regardless of where individuals live, they have access to telephone service. Congress asked the FCC to create a plan to achieve the same result for broadband service. We are doing that. The draft National Broadband Plan creates a path to ensure that, regardless of where individuals live, they will have access to broadband service by 2020. Doing so requires a transition away from the 20th century programs designed to promote universal voice service to a new, reformed program that is designed to promote universal access to broadband.
A key tool that the FCC has to promote universal broadband is the same tool the agency has used to promote universal voice service: the Universal Service Fund, which will distribute more than $8 billion in support in 2010. But the Universal Service Fund today includes a web of complicated rules designed to support voice service. Funding today is not targeted toward the areas that lack broadband, and there's currently no way to track progress in extending broadband to the unserved. Tinkering with the existing programs and increasing the size of the Fund is not the answer and would not accomplish the goal of ensuring everyone has access to broadband. It is time for comprehensive reform.
The Plan sets forth the following recommendations, which, if implemented, will provide access to broadband for more than 99% of American homes by 2020:
- Transition to a new Connect America Fund to extend broadband where it is not available now and to support ongoing service in those areas where it is uneconomic to provide service without governmental support – meaning that the total costs to deploy and provide broadband service exceed the total revenues derived from that broadband-capable network. Funding will be provided on a technology-neutral basis and open to any entity that can satisfy the thresholds established by the FCC.
- Create a new, targeted Mobility Fund to ensure that everyone in the country has access to 3G wireless services. Some states are significantly lagging behind the national average for 3G coverage. The Mobility Fund would provide a targeted subsidy in such areas to bring those states up to the national average.
- Reform intercarrier compensation to gradually phase out per-minute charges, while providing carriers with the opportunity for adequate cost recovery from customers, and, where necessary, from the Connect America Fund. Adopt interim rules to address arbitrage.
The draft Plan sets forth recommendations to accomplish universal broadband access without increasing the overall size of the Fund.
These reforms will not occur overnight and will require the FCC to take a hard look at how to refocus the existing programs but, in the end, consumers and the country will benefit tremendously.

In response to BosoxJoe5's comment:
If Dobson can stay healthy he would be a very good receiver. I feel like Collie, Boyce, Amendola, and Edleman are all cut from the same cloth. They are not real down field receivers. I would try to add another reciever to go down field in addition to what they are already bringing back. Also another TE would could catch and play a little HBack would be nice.
Boyce is a downfield WR, he's the fastest, strongest and most athletic of the group. I do agree though. Collie, Edelman, Amendola and TJ Moe are all the same type of WRs, but Collie, Amendola and Edelman can't be trusted to stay healthy anyway. Might as well keep them all.
He is a little small for a typical down field threat. He is 5'11" and Dobson is 6'3".
Victor Cruz is only 6'0, Pierre Garcon is 6'0...
Size is useful for jumpballs, but a 6'0 WR is effective enough.
Wait wasn't Reggie Wayne and Mervin Harrison both 6'0 as well. How tall is steve Smith from Carolina or Desean Jackson?

West Ham in bid to bring former Chelsea and Liverpool star Raul Meireles back to Prem
WEST Ham are interested in Fenerbahce midfield star Raul Meireles.
And the Turkish club say they are ready to listen to any offer over £3million for the former Chelsea and Liverpool star, 31.
Hammers boss Sam Allardyce tried to sign him in January but his bid was rejected.
Now reports in Turkey claim Fenerbahce are looking to balance their books and will allow the schemer to leave.
Allardyce is working hard to revitalise his squad after releasing Joe Cole and Jack Collison.
He has already signed Senegal midfielder Cheikhou Kouyate, 24, from Anderlecht for an undisclosed fee and Argentine striker Mauro Zarate, 27.


text: BOWLING GREEN, Ky. -- Bobby Petrino was going to make it through this latest leg of his rehab tour without incident. At lunch with a reporter, back to the office and through a quick look at the Western Kentucky facilities, he had held up well. All the hard questions had been asked about how Petrino had gone from an SEC program with a top-five national ranking to a fifth-place program in the Sun Belt.
