Seagate helps your hard drive stay hard
By - Source: Tom's Hardware | 0 comment
Seagate CEO Bill Watkins will probably be known as the most brutally honest hard drive executive in history. During a dinner conversation with Fortune's senior editor Jeffrey O'Brien, Watkins said, "We're building a product that helps people buy more crap - and watch porn."
Of course, Watkins said what everyone knew all along, but it takes someone with guts to blurt it out.
Seagate is mainly know for their Barracuda line of drives, but the company also makes a variety of portable drives from the Pocket Hard Drives to the Mirra Personal Server. The company recently acquired competitor Maxtor and continues to sell Maxtor's DiamondMax line of drives.

DALLAS (AP) - The Texas woman accused of sending ricin-laced letters to President Barack Obama and New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg has given birth prematurely to a baby boy while in custody.
Attorneys for Shannon Guess Richardson and husband Nathan say she gave birth July 4 to a boy named Brody. Shannon Richardson's attorney, Tonda Curry, says the baby faces serious medical issues due to the premature birth and remains hospitalized.
John Delk, Nathan Richardson's attorney, says the boy weighed less than 2 pounds at birth and was four months premature.
A federal affidavit alleges Shannon Richardson contacted authorities to try to implicate her husband in the ricin letters, before being arrested herself on June 7.
She's accused of sending the letters to Obama, Bloomberg and a man who heads Bloomberg's gun-control organization.

My college network requires Bradford Persistent Agent and Mcafee Virus Software 8.7i. The Bradford Persistent Agent basically checks to make sure Mcafee is running and updated, and reports this status to the network. If it is configured incorrectly, I cannot access the internet. Right now, I am running off of the device network, (iPod/iPhone WiFi) which is considerably slower and doesn't enable me to use my Ethernet cable.
With Windows Vista, everything was configured correctly. After my upgrade to Windows 7, Bradford Persistent Agent isn't registering the fact that Mcafee is installed and updated. Also, Windows Security Center isn't properly registering Mcafee as well, it knows that it is installed but can't read information reports from it.
I have tried running the install files and the programs themselves in several configurations of compatibility modes, to no avail. I think this is a problem with Mcafee. Is there a solution?
Solution (for me):
- Windows Button -> type "services" -> click "services" icon at top of start menu
- Navigate to Bradford Persistant Agent -> select Restart Service
- Bradford Agent now recognized Mcafee (in my situation)

It's been a quiet hurricane season so far for the coast, but experts say now is not the time to become complacent.
Experts with the National Weather Service are reminding coastal residents that we're only in the middle of hurricane season, and that the end is months away.
Hurricane Danielle has weakened a bit as it churned over the Atlantic far off our coastline.
The hurricane reached category two status Tuesday but has since weakened to a tropical storm.
But experts say a low pressure system off the coast of Africa should be on the radar of coastal residents, and not to let their guard down just because it's been a quiet season.
Weather experts also warn that while it will be a beautiful beach weekend, swells could be increased because of tropical storm Danielle that will be well off our coast.

The invention relates generally to the handling of conductors adapted to be connected to and disconnected from the receptacles of electrical and other appliances having multiple line connections.
Electrical appliances such as computers, video cassette recorders (VCRs), stereo tuners, tape decks and CD players, are powered and interconnected via a plurality of cables, cords and wires plugged into receptacles on a portion of the electrical appliance. Periodically, such cables, cords and wires must be unplugged from their receptacles to facilitate servicing or transportation of the electrical appliance. In the course of disconnection, the cables, cords and wires often form a small jungle of disorganized conductors subject to being stepped on and damaged. In addition, the withdrawn conductors assume a jumbled orientation which makes reconnection subsequent to repair or transport frustrating, time-consuming, and, in some cases, potentially dangerous.
One example of a device for preventing damage and mix-up of cables as a result of operations involving withdrawal of a cable connector from multi-terminal types of computer equipment is shown in U.S. Pat. No. 5,130,890 issued Jul. 14, 1992 to Nhu. In this device, a support panel is hingedly connected to the cabinet frame of computer equipment for pivotal displacement about an axis parallel to a common plane with which the access terminals of the computer equipment are aligned. The panel is thereby displaced to an operative position in an angular relation to the terminal alignment plane exposing a plurality of retainer devices for reception and withdrawal of cable connectors. The cable connectors may thereby be held on the support panel in spaced relation to each other in a convenient arrangement with cables extending therefrom adjacent to the access terminals. The retainer devices according to one embodiment are in the form of angularly adjustable clamps carried on the panel to accommodate reception of standard, low level serial or parallel connectors/adapters. According to other embodiments, the retainer devices are edge recesses or holes formed in the support panel to receive and hold connectors on the panel while in its operative position extending perpendicular to the terminal alignment plane.
While the use of this device contemplates retention of disconnected cables in an orderly arrangement, it is necessary that the cables be tagged for identification purposes, which procedure is time-consuming and wasteful. In addition, since the Nhu device is fashioned particularly for reprogramming and testing, it requires a support panel to be hingedly connected on the appliance cabinet. This feature is particularly restrictive in instances where the cables must be disconnected from an appliance which is to be serviced or transported. Accordingly, it remains desirable to provide a cable coordinating apparatus and method of a modified type from that shown in the prior art which is effective to safely and conveniently retain conductors disconnected from an appliance in an array duplicative of the manner in which the conductors are to be connected to the appliance. It is also highly desirable that such apparatus have a minimum number of components and be economical.
The cable coordinating apparatus and method of the present invention advantageously provides positive, reliable securement for disconnected cables, cords, wires and the like. The apparatus has a simple, unique construction designed to enable fast installation and removal of appliance conductors.
These and other aspects of the invention are realized in a card for indicating the relative positions of the conductors to be connected to an appliance. The card comprises a panel element independent of the appliance and represents a duplicate image of a portion of the appliance to which the conductors are to be connected. The panel element includes a plurality of openings provided therein, each of the openings being formed to friction-ally retain one of the conductors at a location on the panel element corresponding to the location of the conductor when connected to the appliance.
In another aspect of the invention recited in combination with a cabinet enclosing an appliance having a plurality of receptacles adapted to receive various conductors, means are provided for holding the conductors in relative positions corresponding to their positions on the cabinet while the conductors are disconnected from the appliance during servicing or transportation. The means comprises a support means which is independent of the cabinet and includes a retainer means provided in the support means for releasably supporting the conductor in an arrangement identical to the receptacles on the cabinet. The retainer means comprises at least one aperture formed in the support means being at least dimensionally equal to the conductor to be retained therein and at least one slit communicating the support means with the at least one aperture.
In yet another aspect of the invention, a card is contemplated for indicating the relative positions of cables, wires and the like to be connected to an appliance. The card comprises a panel element representing an image of a portion of the appliance to which the cables, wires and the like are to be connected. The panel element includes a plurality of apertures having surrounding walls and a corresponding plurality of slits formed therein, each of the slits communicating the periphery of the panel element with one of the apertures and each of the apertures being at least dimensionally equal to each of the cables, wires and the like whereby each of the cables, wires and the like to be connected to the appliance are slidable along one of the slits and temporarily retained within the walls of one of the apertures indicating the relative position of the cable, wires or the like on the appliance.
In yet another aspect of the invention, a method is utilized for disconnecting, retaining and connecting a plurality of conductors relative to receptacles on an appliance to be serviced or transported. The method comprises the steps of: providing a panel element representing an image of a portion of the appliance to which the conductors are to be connected; forming a plurality of apertures having surrounding walls in said panel element at locations corresponding to the locations of the receptacles on the appliance and with sizes corresponding to the sizes of the conductors; cutting slits in the panel element, each of the slits communicating the panel element with a respective one of the apertures; providing one of the conductors from its receptacles on the appliance; guiding the conductor along one of the slits into a respective one of the apertures at a location corresponding to the receptacle from which the conductor was disconnected; frictionally retaining the periphery of the conductor within the surrounding walls of the aperture formed in the panel element while the appliance is being serviced or transported; repeating the aforementioned steps for additional conductors for the first step until all conductors are retained within the panel element; and upon disconnecting each of the conductors from its receptacle on the appliance, connecting each of the conductors to the receptacle corresponding to the location on the panel element.
The invention will become better understood by reference to the following detailed description of the preferred exemplary embodiment when read in conjunction with the appended drawing, wherein like numerals denote like elements; and
FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a cable coordinating apparatus embodying the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a perspective view of the cable coordinating apparatus in use with all cables of a videotape editing deck disconnected;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary, perspective view of the cable coordinating apparatus indicating the manner in which a single cable is retained in the cable coordinating apparatus;
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view taken on line 4--4 of FIG. 3; and
FIG. 5 is a fragmentary, perspective view of an alternative embodiment of the cable coordinating apparatus.
Referring now to the drawings, particularly FIGS. 1 and 2, an electrical appliance in the form of a videotape editing deck 10 has a rear cabinet portion 12 having a plurality of receptacles 14 into which various sized cables, wires and like conductors 16 are plugged. While the electrical appliance chosen for illustration is depicted as an editing deck, it should be appreciated that the electrical appliance may just as easily assume the configuration of a computer component, video cassette recorder, tape deck, CD player or other audio/video component. As is well known, conductors 16 connect these components with telephones, power sources, printers and other peripheral equipment (not shown).
As a salient feature of the invention, a cable coordinating apparatus embodying the present invention comprises a flexible card or panel element 18 completely separate and independent of yet stationed directly adjacent to the editing deck 10 and representing a duplicate image of and having the same physical size as the portion of the electrical appliance to which conductors 16 are to be connected. Panel element 18 includes a plurality of variously sized openings 20 provided therein for releasably supporting conductors 16 in an arrangement identical to the receptacles 14 on editing deck 10. Each opening 20 is formed to frictionally retain one of the conductors 16 at a location corresponding to the exact location of the conductor 16 when connected to the editing deck 10. As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, each opening 20 is at least dimensionally equal to the size of conductor 16, the entire periphery of which is to be retained therein by the surrounding walls 22 of panel element 18. Each opening 20 is provided with a slit 24 cut into panel element 18 which communicates the periphery of panel element 18 with the interior of opening 20 such that a conductor 16 disconnected or unplugged from editing deck 10, is manually slidable along slit 24 into frictional engagement with walls 22 of opening 20 at a location corresponding to the exact location of the conductor 16 when connected to the editing deck 10.
It should be apparent that with the arrangement described above, conductors 16 plugged into receptacles 14 on editing deck 10 may be disconnected from receptacles 14 and retained on independent panel element 18 in a manner which will not only safeguard conductors 16 but will allow absolutely optimum reconnection of conductors 16 without tagging identification.
In the embodiment of FIG. 5, panel element 18' is provided with expandable openings 20' each of which is formed with at least one slit and preferably a series of slits 24' extending radially outwardly to walls 22' surrounding opening 20'. This arrangement, similar to that which holds Christmas tree bulbs in packaging, again allows a disconnected conductor 16 to be manipulated via slits 24' into frictional engagement with walls 22' of opening 20' at locations corresponding to the exact location of conductors 16 when connected to editing deck 10.
In use, when conductors 16 are about to be connected to receptacles 14 of the particular appliance to be serviced or transported at some future point in time, an independent card or panel element 18, 18' with appropriate openings 20, 20' and slits 24, 24' is provided to be stationed directly adjacent the appliance. The panel element 18, 18' which represents a duplicative image of a portion of the electrical appliance to which conductors 16 are to be reconnected is prepared either by the appliance manufacturer, a post purchase supplier, or the user. Then, as shown in FIG. 3, one by one, each conductor 16 is guided forcibly by hand along one of the slits 24, 24' into a respective opening 20, 20' at a location corresponding to the exact receptacle 14 from which the conductor 16 was disconnected. Once each conductor 16 enters the opening 20, 20', it is frictionally held in place by the surrounding walls 22, 22' of the opening 20,20'. When the electrical device is ready to be serviced or transported, conductors 16 are simply withdrawn from panel element 18, 18' and easily and surely reconnected to the receptacles 14 after servicing or transportation at exact locations corresponding to their locations on panel element 18, 18'.
While the invention has been described with reference to a preferred embodiment, those skilled in the art will appreciate that certain substitutions, alterations and omissions may be made without departing from the spirit thereof. For example, while the invention has been described with reference to an electrical appliance, it should be understood that the invention is equally applicable to other technologies requiring multiple line connections such as powder, liquid, gas mixing and exhaust devices. In other words, the invention is useful with other mechanical appliances requiring interchangeability of lines and a necessary pattern of connection determined by multiple lines in the base appliance. Furthermore, since the panel element 18, 18' is stationed directly adjacent the base appliance, a conventional or off-the-shelf, audio-visual sensing or alarm device 26 could be incorporated into the panel element 18, 18' to detect and/or address any problems related to heat or fire. Accordingly, the foregoing description is meant to be exemplary only, and should not be deemed limitative on the scope of the invention set forth in the accompanying claims.

...I like my new brushes WAY too much.
.... Dat eye.
A little carried away with the lightning, but that's to be expected where time travel is involved. I think I like this one mostly because I liked that episode, but I think that it has some merit on it's own.
What are these brushes you speak of?


text:
Have you seen the cover art for "The Thing" that's replaced that painting for the last half-decade? It's the cheapest, blandest photoshop abortion you've ever seen. As a fan of the film, It makes me cringe to the bottom of my soul. Worst part is, they already had a great alternate cover with the original European release poster, so they didn't even have to pay anyone to do anything if they just wanted to switch things up. It's as if someone in the marketing department deliberately wanted to sabotage sales via the cover.It always puzzled me why the LOTR movie posters were just cheap generic photoshop collages. Of all possible films over the last two decades, those were practically begging for old-school, Lucasfilm-style painted posters. They already had three famous Tolkien illustrators doing concept art for the productions. You can't tell me they couldn't have just added some poster art to their to-do lists.
The LotR films were already hugely expensive, and weren't seen as anything close to guaranteed hits. Not that "guaranteed hits" get original posters (Iron Man 3, for instance), but whether or not a movie is worthy of a good poster, whether or not the source material is worthy of a good poster, whether or not the target fanbase is worthy of a good poster, whether or not cinematic posterity is worthy of a good poster...they're gonna hedge every bet they can and go with what's predictable, especially if the film cost a mint.That said, while I do know what posters you're referring to, they weren't all that way. One of my favorite semi-recent movie posters was one of the FotR posters.https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_45-Rw__lUSQ/TYthlmdwU5I/AAAAAAAAHWs/TDEQlZCWX8M/s512/lord_of_the_rings_the_fellowship_of_the_ring_poster_2.jpg(If the image doesn't load or the link is broken, it's the one with the Argonath)That one, and that one only, had class.
That is a MUCH better poster than the one I've always seen for FOTR (and which served as the default DVD/Blu-Ray cover).I'm not sure about the rest though. Harry Potter was able to swing the painted poster thing, though admittedly it was just a painted version of a "floating head" design, and did come out after TLOTR and thus was able to ride its coattails a bit. But the thing is,everybody remembers the old Lucasfilm posters. That stuff worked just as well if not better than the standard modern $2 photoshop jobs. And since they already had the painters on staff for the production anyway, it wouldn't have cost them extra like it usually would for other movies.That studio logic works for most IPs, but given the giant amount of latitude the LOTR production was given all 'round by the studio, I'd actually be a kinda surprised if the studio comandeered the poster designs in that case. I suspect it's just a bit of bad delegation or an oversight (couldn't really fault anyone important for being too busy to think about the posters in a production that big and complex).
My second thought whenever I hear arguments like this (after first agreeing with them, because they're usually reflecting things we've all noticed before) is: Is it always gonna be this way? Is there any hope? Or is this inevitable when moviemaking gets so expensive and movies have to appeal to EVERYBODY (meaning the studio's idea of what Joe/Jane Everybody thinks).
Oh god. It's a Wonderful Life 2? Anybody want to take a stab at what the poster's going to look like? I'll go first.Teal and orange color palette, George Bailey, depicted from behind, standing at an angle, in front of some obstacle he has to overcome, carrying a gun. With "YOU WILL KNOW HIS NAME" printed over the entire thing, and above him, the floating heads of the actors with agents not good enough to get them out of this film.
The thing is, they make boring samey posters because they work. They put butts in the seats of the boring samey movies they are cookie-cuttered to promote. When you have today's Hollywood budgets on the line, you don't mess with what works.
I don't go to see a movie based on the poster, I go based more on the trailer. But if I saw a poster that stood out I might be more inclined to check out the trailer online. These posters are like white noise, utterly generic, so they don't tell me much about the films at all.
Today's movies are made solely for the opening weekend. Once a film opens at number one, the studios could give a rat's ass if it stays there. Sad part is, that shit works.
The best movie poster of all time, hands down, is for Def-Con 4. If you haven't seen it, you owe it to yourself to gaze at it longingly right this second.
One thing I noticed was that, with the classic movie posters, you could remove the title of the movie and still recognize them. If you took the titles off a modern movie poster, you'd have no idea. "Uh, Transformers 7? Spiderman 6? Failure to Launch 2?"
Movie posters suck now because of marketing. I'm willing to bet that every single similarity you mentioned was previously in the poster of some successful movie, and was subsequently retconned by marketers as a primary cause of this success. Also, I heard that the old hand-painted style of video game covers died out because they had a reputation of being deceptive, and that's why the early first-party NES games had the cover art with the giant pixels.
You contrasted "the old days" represented by "The Rocketeer" to bad movie posters of today including "Pretty Woman," which came out a year before "The Rocketeer!"
Yeah, but the Pretty Woman poster has been copied over and over again for fifteen years, while The Rocketeer's utterly awesome art deco style stands out to this day.
They can have all the blue and orange they want, just stop with the pictures of one actor's face. When "The Internship" was being advertised all they had were massive pictures of Vaughn and Wilson's faces. I hate both of them as actors.
Blue and orange, huh that reminds me I need to buy some ALL detergent.But seriously this is a very sad epidemic when it comes to the media of films. Really I think at this point they should just use foreign movie posters such as the ones in this Cracked article: http://www.cracked.com/article_16990_lost-in-translation-20-baffling-foreign-movie-posters_p2.htmlThey may be confusing and don't really represent the films all that well, but dammit they're eye catching and are anything but boring. Especially number 9. Really anything from Japan is going to be interesting I feel.
This is also a testament to how horribly samey movies have gotten. There only so many ways to make a poster for [Muscled badass shoots people to save hot chick].
Well done and well said, Cecil. By the way, that Rocketeer poster? It's framed on my parents' family room wall. Because that's how my Dad rolls.
I can get how it could be hard to make a good movie poster, but I don't see how hard it could be to CONCEIVE of one. They really should just hire the guys who do the fanart posters. Give them some info, ask them to make something awesome. Seeing as how they're amateurs, you wouldn't have to pay 'em all that much. Hell, do a contest! How many people would work their ass off, for no pay, just for the chance to see THEIR work in multi-plexes across the country?
Mass-produced and consequently low-integrity product produced in short-time: a trigger of many an empire's collapse.Great analysis, Cecil, especially of a subject nearly all of us take for granted. It sounds like if they need an open area for newcoming filmmakers to find work, coming up with actual creative one-piece movie art would make a decent start.And hey, for me, Optimus Prime, Bumblebee, and Megatron WERE in fact the major players. That's what made the movie rather tolerable for me: I would care less about Bayformers if the generic giant fighting robots weren't at least characters I remember from wee youth. Sometimes I just get so into how dated some artwork is. The Exorcist poster actually makes me crave more for the artwork for Steppenwolf. Years ago I wanted to do a spoof of that movie art with the dark brooding faces of Max Von Sydow and Dominique Sanda in a gritty reboot parody. I'm glad I didn't because even parodies now are getting overdone (much like 2000s era movie poster art)--and I also don't have Photoshop of any kind if I wanted to. Not that there aren't winners, though--a stroll through DeviantArt can prove that.

For 2015, Toyota's Avalon sedan gains a new Touring Sport Edition with Attitude Black paint and contrasting dark blue interior trim and stitching. All models get an updated Entune audio system, while all gasoline-powered models gain paddle shifters. The Touring trims get a new Blind Spot Monitor.
A rearview camera is added to the base XLE, prompting a slight price increase for the trim. The XLE Premium now offers the display audio unit with navigation and Entune Apps suite, while a blind-spot monitoring system is made optional on the Touring trim.
The completely redesigned 2013 Avalon ushers in a new era of style and refinement for the Toyota brand. This latest iteration preserves the high levels of luxury and comfort that made the Avalons of yesteryear such a success, but adds a dose of athleticism and panache to the mix.
While car companies seem to be tripping over themselves to introduce even more crossover SUVs, many in the car-buying public still prefer the comfort and quiet of a big, premium-level sedan. The 2015 Toyota Avalon sedan is just such a car and in many ways is the rightful heir to the big American luxury car once common in every driveway. But, unlike those unreliable dinosaurs of the past, the Avalon is solid, dependable and amazingly efficient. Its sleek styling and lavish interior make it attractive to many luxury buyers, while its reasonable pricing and low cost of ownership appeal to more frugal buyers. From its user-friendly onboard technology to the 40-mpg hybrid trim, the Avalon offers so much to so many for so little.

PUBLISHED May 31, 2013 0 1 / 7 Bad Hair Day Paralyzed worms frozen in a falling leaf pattern, color-tagged proteins that look like marbles, and a video reconstruction of a human face that resembles an Impressionist portrait—all these images were created during the course of scientific research, and all are on display this month at Princeton University as part of its sixth Art of Science competition.Above, color-stained worms reveal the location of their DNA (blue) and RNA (red) while curling wildly like the hair atop Medusa.The image, which won third place in the "People's Choice" category, was submitted along with images from academic fields spanning psychology to plasma physics.The competition celebrates the unexpected beauty that can emerge from analytical work in the sciences.And in keeping with the Art of Science concept, the three winning artists were awarded cash prizes in amounts determined by the golden ratio, a mathematical proportion whose influence extends to art and architecture: $250, $154.51, and $95.49 for first, second, and third place, respectively.Our gallery presents some of the winning images, as well as other Art of Science highlights.—Sharon Jacobs Image courtesy Jamie Barr and Clif Brangwynne, Princeton Art of Science Windy Ways The first-place winner, "East-West, West-East," represents the directions of Earth's winds. Submitted by atmospheric researcher Martin Jucker, this computer simulation shows average wind motion over ten years, demonstrating that winds on Earth blow east-west or west-east, rather than north-south or south-north.Winds blowing from the east are rendered in blue, and those coming in from the west are in red. Darker regions in the simulation correspond with areas where the winds are stronger. (Learn more about wind.) Image courtesy Martin Jucker, Princeton Art of Science Saving Face Individual frames taken from a video of a blurred, indiscernible face were combined to create "Exposed," a computer approximation of the face before it was blurred. Image courtesy Ohad Fried, Princeton Art of Science Frozen in Motion The aptly named Caenorhabditis elegans worms imitate silver leaves in "Weaving Worms." These smooth, unsegmented worms were paralyzed with sodium azide as part of an experiment testing how they associate smells with food. Image courtesy Meredith Wright, Princeton Art of Science Marblelike Marvel In "Brainbow Rainbow," Vero cells from the kidney of a monkey have been exposed to a herpes virus. The virus causes them to express proteins tagged by the scientists in a rainbow of colors, bringing to mind a collection of jelly beans or marbles.

Unused town | Alternative map locations (Generation I) | G/S/C Beta Safari Zone | G/S/C Beta Olivine House | SPECIAL | N/A | Alternative Route 104 map | Special Area | Sevii Islands 8 and 9 | R/S Flower Shop (Festa 2002 demo) | Mystery Zone (---- in Japanese HeartGold/SoulSilver) | Jubilife Condominiums floors 3 and 4 | D/P/Pt Beta Sunyshore House | Battle Park (Platinum) | Records Room (FireRed/LeafGreen)
Verified by ~Poke~
In Pokémon Diamond and Pearl, in addition to the first and second floors of the Jubilife Condominiums building, there is unused map data for two additional floors that are inaccessible in normal gameplay.
One of them (floor 4) has stairs that link to the other lower floor (or floor 3), while the lower floor links to the used floor 2, but in the void.
On the lower unused floor, there are no stairs that lead to 'floor 4'.
Both floors use the same tileset as Jubilife Condominiums floors 1 and 2.
The void near 'floor 4' can be accessed with Tweaking (video), but a 'web' (impassable tiles) block the player from entering it. For unknown reasons, the Pokémon Gym music plays there.
The third floor is visually identical to the second floor, although no NPCs are sitting at any of the tables. Instead, there are two NPCs, one who is female and another who appears as a bulky male character. Both NPCs are facing down towards the wall and are positioned two steps (horizontally) away from each other.
When spoken to, the male character responds with the dialogue string "I can trade Pokémon around the world with Nintendo WFC... Just hearing that gets my heart racing!" and the female character responds with "The world you can reach with Nintendo WFC... I can't tell if it's huge or small."
The fourth floor is visually identical to both the third and second floor, with the exception of a blonde haired girl, who is facing southwards towards the leftmost table. If the player speaks to the girl she will respond with the text; "You managed to come out here? That takes focus! For someone like you, this might be perfect." After the player speaks with her, she will give them a Focus Band.

Informing Patients Doesn't Stop with Recruitment: One-on-One Patient Engagement Practices Bolster Patient Retention
By Sarah Ray,
Senior Research Analyst
Contract research organizations (CROs) play an ever-present role in companies' clinical trial practices. Many sponsors leverage these third parties to support study elements like site monitoring and patient recruitment. Patient recruitment in particular has always been a difficult task for sponsors, CROs and site teams alike. To help alleviate the challenge of patient recruitment, some CROs are customizing their approach, to ensure that they can both attract qualified study participants and keep these individuals interested throughout the clinical trial.

Myocardial disease in which the ventricular walls are excessively rigid, impeding ventricular filling; it is marked by abnormal diastolic function but by normal or nearly normal systolic function---------------------------- infitrative types of pathology include Amyloid, Hemochramotosis, Glycogen storage, Scleroderma,Fibrosis, Sarcoidosis;---Cardiomyopathy, Restrictive Fred F Ferri MD
below ------------
Cardiomyopathies are a group of diseases primarily involving the myocardium and characterized by myocardial dysfunction that is not the result of hypertension, coronary atherosclerosis, valvular dysfunction, or pericardial abnormalities; Restrictive cardiomyopathies are characterized by decreased ventricular compliance, usually secondary to infiltration of the myocardium; Relatively uncommon cardiomyopathy that is most frequently caused by amyloidosis , myocardial fibrosis (after open heart surgery), and radiation; Edema, ascites, hepatomegaly, distended neck veins, Fatigue, weakness (secondary to low output); Kussmaul's sign: may be present; Regurgitant murmurs; Possible prominent apical impulse; Infiltrative and storage disorders (glycogen storage disease, amyloidosis, sarcoidosis, hemochromatosis) and also Scleroderma; Radiation; Endocardial fibroelastosis;
Endomyocardial fibrosis; Idiopathic, Hypereosinophilic syndromes; Toxic effects of anthracycline; Carcinoid heart disease, metastatic cancers; Diabetic cardiomyopathy
Eosinophilic cardiomyopathy (Löffler's endocarditis)
DIAGNOSIS: Chest x-ray examination, ECG, echocardiogram
Cardiac catheterization, MRI (selected cases);Chest x-ray examination: Moderate cardiomegaly;Possible evidence of CHF (pulmonary vascular congestion, pleural effusion);ECG:
Low voltage with ST-T wave changes; Possible frequent arrhythmias, left axis deviation, and atrial fibrillation
Echocardiogram: increased wall thickness and thickened cardiac valves (especially in patients with amyloidosis)
Cardiac catheterization to distinguish restrictive cardiomyopathy from constrictive pericarditis; Constrictive pericarditis: usually involves both ventricles and produces a plateau of elevated filling pressures; Restrictive cardiomyopathy: impairs the left ventricle more than the right (PCWP > RAP, PASP >50 mm Hg) MRI may also be useful to distinguish restrictive cardiomyopathy from constrictive pericarditis (thickness of the pericardium >5 mm in the latter) Treatment includes : Sodium restriction, diuretics, ACE inhibitors, β-blockers, spironolactone, and digitalis;
Vasodilators (combined with nitrates and ACE inhibitors) are effective agents in all symptomatic patients with left ventricular dysfunction; Prevent thromboembolism with oral anticoagulants in all patients with atrial fibrillation and in patients with moderate or severe failure; Low-dose β-blockade with carvedilol or other β-blockers may improve ventricular function by interrupting the cycle of reflex sympathetic activity and controlling tachycardia--------

It happens almost every time a scientific study is published that shows a new substance appears to have a benefit similar to exercise. Some journalists seem unable to resist mention of an "exercise pill." Most recently, an article in the journal Nature titled, "A PCG1-a-dependent myokine that drives brown-fat-like development of white fat and thermogenesis," became "Discovery could lead to an exercise pill" in the MIT Technology Review.
Over the last several years we've had headlines such as Could a pill replace exercise? from Scientific American, Couch mouse to Mr. Mighty by pills alone from The New York Times, and Exercise pill hope for depression from BBC News.
In the model of HealthNewsReview.org's 10 review criteria, I offer up this check list of 20+ criteria by which journalists can assess whether any product or substance should be considered to have benefits similar to exercise. These criteria represent the health benefits of physical activity for which there are strong or moderate evidence, as documented in the U.S. Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans.
Strong evidence
Moderate to strong evidence
Moderate evidence
If you catch a journalist (or a scientist who is describing his or her research to reporters) mention "exercise pill," tell him/her to take two aspirin, review this list, and then give us a call in the morning.

Just a small additional point: I don't think any "exercise pill" would give me the same enjoyment as going outside and just doing some exercise either.
Chris, I completely agree with you!
Thanks Carol – a well informed populace will lead to healthier, happier people. Too many folks seek the quick-fix magic pill (or exercise option or supplement, etc) – prudent and purposeful effort works best.

Putting the pedal to the metal can cost you a pretty penny, especially if you do it in a roadway work area.
July 1 marks the start of a new fiscal year in Mississippi and a new law on violating traffic laws in work areas takes effect. The fines for speeding in such areas will go up to almost double the cost for fines for most misdemeanor offenses.
Under the new law, the first offense is a $250 fine. The second has an automatic $400 fine. If you're found guilty of doing it a third time within 12 months, the fine is then $1,000, a price which roadway officials say is not unfair.
"Of course, it's not unfair," said Lauderdale County engineer Neal Carson. "We had trouble with people going too fast through our work zones for as long as I've been here and I've been here 34 years."
"Our most important thing is the safety of the workers and the motorists. A lot of times they have a hole that's excavated in the street and someone not paying attention may drive into the hole. Also, you have the safety of the men that are out there working to think about," said city of Meridian street superintendent Greer Goldman.
In the new law, fines not only apply to state roads but also those managed by individual cities and counties.
However, all of the responsibility is not placed on motorists; the new law also requires road crews to place warning signs identifying work zones.
Although the new law might cost motorists and cities, counties and the state some money, lawmakers say it could save something much more important---a life.

Among the films having their world premiere at Tribeca this year is Kat Coiro's romantic comedy "A Case of You," which made its debut on Sunday. The film, co-penned by star Justin Long, follows a neurotic hack writer (Long) who embarks on becoming the dream man of a barista named Birdie (Evan Rachel Wood) through the dubious method of stalking her Facebook and memorizing her likes and dislikes.
In this exclusive clip, Long's character admits to his roommate (Keir O'Donnell) his unsavory plan for wooing Birdie. The comedy also stars an eclectic cast featuring Sam Rockwell, Peter Dinklage, Sienna Miller, and Vince Vaughn.

The absolute best product for menopause
I use Black Cohosh Root by Nature's Way as a replacement for estrogen. I have not experience any of the symptoms associated with menopause. No hot flashes, night sweats, increased anxiety or vaginal dryness. The bonus is the fullness it gave my breast. I love it!

Absolutely nothing.

How many people alreadt own it on another platform and still plan on buying this?
I already own it for PC and iPhone but I plan on getting the XBLA version as well due to the co-op in the game...and that it's such a fun and addicting game. Anyone else already own it and still feel like coughing up 1200 points for this?
just realized that already is spelled wrong in the title :[
I own it on the Iphone and I still plan on picking it up as well.
I own it on Ipod Touch, Pc , Ipad and will on xbox ^^
I have it on PC and my iPod Touch and sure I will get it on 360 also since those achievements will add to my gamerscore! and well has added Multiplayer :)
Yeah I also own it on my iPhone but still will be getting the xbla version it's fun and they added more features
I've got it on the PC, but I didn't pay for it. I'm hoping to not pay for this one either, but even if I do, I still think it will be money well spent.
Well I don't technically "own" them on PC or iPhone, I downloaded them from somewhere for free. I got the Golden Sunflower!!! Now I will support the company and buy it for $15 off XBLA.
i'm buying the disc to get the extra games.
already own it on pc.
I have it on the PC, I would get the disc but I have both the other games so it would be a waste, but I've saved 1200 MSP for a few weeks JUST to get this game. I love this game
Got it on the Iphone and if the controls are ok I'll get it for xbla too
Own it on the iPhone and PC, and if I owned an iPad, I'd own it on that too!
This is easily one of my favourite games!
I have it for the iPhone...will be buying this later
Own this on my iPod touch already and just bought it on XBLA this morning. Started playing the adventure mode and the control scheme functions very smoothly. I like it better than the iPod touch, and I thought beforehand that it would end up the other way around. Great way to spend 1200 MS points!!
Have it on iPhone, downloaded this morning. Work, lift, run, play. Lovely day.
I have no iPhone and i never really botherd about the pc soo..
Yeap. Sign me up for buying it twice on PC and now on Xbox. :(
Have for the PC, the wife has it for her iPad and now got it on XBLA. :)
I have it on PC and after wanting it for so long onthe Arcade, I ain't getting it because of the lack of online multiplayer.
I'm downloading the demo now, and while I usually don't "buy" arcade games, I came into some money since I'm starting school in a few weeks and picked up Monday Night Combat two days ago. While it was $15, I feel it was money well spent, because it's easy to get into and has DoTa/LoL (League of Legends) elements. Although the crappy internet connections that some players have are annoying, especially when they are hosting.
Anyways...I was wondering for the $15 price tag, is it worth it? I mean down the road... I won't be bored in a week or so? It's something you can have fun with now, and then down the road comie back to? This seemed the best place to ask since you all have it on some other platform of some sort and still plan to shell out $15. I appreciate any replies ^^
Its such a bloody rip off for a 80mb download... but i love the game so much that i just couldn't resist! Loved it on the iphone, so just had to pick it up on xbla
Own the iPad version and played it to death. Bought the arcade version this morning. Well worth it. Controls are good and now I get to try out the zen garden since it was taken out for the iPad version.
Own the PC, Mac, and iPhone/iPod Touch version. We'd own the iPad version too, if we had an iPad (waiting for next gen...). Got it on 360.
This is literally my wife's most favorite game ever. She's golden sunflowered it and bought every item in the shop four times, and probably earned enough money to do it at least 10 times. Seriously. It's her crack.
The good side is it has the co-op mode, so we can play together. The bad news is I don't see another game being played on my xbox for at least a few months. :p
Also, I don't know how you are complaining about the file size. This game is one of the best game deals around. You could easily sink 30+ hours into it if you wanted everything. It's like all of PopCap's games...they are all an insane value.
I also don't understand complaints about the filesize. We don't pay per MB, nor should a game be cheaper because it is small. PvZ provides hours and hours of gameplay and replayability while remaining relatively simple. The size of the download is completely irrelevant.
I own the Mac and iPhone versions but bought the XBLA version also. Love this game!
But think the XBLA version is a bit expensive. You can get it from Apples App Store for a few euros/dollars. 15€ for the XBLA version is pretty much..
This also has way more content than the dinky iPhone version. And it is still cheaper than most other versions.
I've already pre-ordered my DS version and I don't mind one bit that I'll have to pay $20 for it. It's more than worth it to have an excellent game like this with me wherever I go.
Yeah this was a must own game for me after spending weeks if not months playing it on PC. So good to have it in HD and on a big screen,,,,,,,cinema surround sound is a must for "THE" song...lmao
I played the hell out of this game on Steam! It is one of my favorite games ever, even if i sound like a tool when trying to explain it to others. I already coughed up the ms points yesterday! Im also looking forward to the co-op.

LOUISVILLE, Ky. -- Soft sales and stiff competition continue to exact their toll on sales and profits at Papa John's.
In a July 29 news release, the world's third-largest pizza company reported its July comparable-store sales fell 4.7 percent.
The company also revised its comp-store sales guidance downward for the remainder of the year to negative 4 percent to 6 percent. It had earlier predicted a drop of 2 percent to 4 percent for 2003.
Papa John's second-quarter revenues were $226.5 million, down 4.3 percent from $236.6 million for the comparable quarter in 2002.
Net income of $10.9 million represented a 12 percent drop from the comparable quarter, when net income was $12.4 million. Earnings-per-share was 60 cents, which exceeded the comparable quarter's earnings by one penny.
During the period, Papa John's opened 22 units, but closed 26.
As previously reported, domestic systemwide same-store sales for 2Q were off 4.8 percent, made up of a 4.7 percent decrease at company-owned units and a 4.8 percent decrease at franchise units.
The company cited continued weakness in the ready-to-eat pizza category and competitive pricing as reasons for the declining numbers. Increased operating costs also trimmed margins, including a 3.3 percent increase in store management-level salaries, a 1 percent advertising cost increase and a 1 percent hike in occupancy costs.
Despite the down results, Papa John's reaffirmed its 2003 earnings guidance of between $2.20 and $2.26 a share.

B. splendens grows to an overall length of approximately 6 cm (2.5 in), and has an average life span of four years. Well kept aquarium specimens have often lived well beyond six years. There are reports of captive Bettas living ten or more years in laboratory settings.
Under the right temperature range, (24-30?C) bettas are normally very active fish. They have good eyesight and will learn to surface for feeding time when a hand appears over the bowl and other simple recognition tools. During darker parts of the day, they may "sleep" or rest on the bottom of the tank or just under the surface where they can breathe. Bettas are very territorial and require a place to hide, even if there are no threats. They will cling very close to any plant or rocky alcove they can find, becoming highly possessive of it.
Because of the aggressive nature of this species, tankmates must be chosen carefully, and two male B. splendens should not be housed in the same tank unless they are separated by a dividing wall. As a general rule, male Bettas cannot be housed together. It is possible to house two male bettas in a single very large tank, provided that there is plenty of cover (such as floating plants) and enough space for both males to establish their own territories. However, this is an extremely risky procedure because of the male's natural territoriality. These experiments in housing males together often end in the death of one or both inhabitants of the tank. (Male bettas do not 'fight to the death' in the wild; once one fish has clearly won the encounter, the loser will retreat to a safe location. In an aquarium, however, there is no place to run, and the winning fish will continue to attack the loser, often ending in death.)
To maximize the lifespan of the fish and ensure their wellbeing, they should always be kept in appropriate sized tanks. As a rule of thumb, for each inch of fish there must be at least four liters of water in its tank. Bettas ideally should be kept in a filtered tank 40L or more and treated like any other freshwater tank fish. Although these conditions are ideal, with proper care and filtration a betta can be happily kept in a smaller tank.
Since bettas are from the rice paddies of southern Asia, they typically thrive in conditions somewhat similar to their origins. In the wild, the Siamese fighting fish inhabits standing or slow-moving water, including floodplains and rice paddies, at temperatures of 24 to 30 ?C. This level of temperature should be used in the aquarium. The pH level should range between 6.5 and 7 (slightly acidic).

Beautiful coloured fish! Review by Maddy
Customer Rating
He is a beautiful colour and still you which ie great so I know he will live for a long time. When he first arrived he was fairly skinny which made him weak and he couldn't swim properly. After a week or so he had fattened up and can swim fine. He has just breed with my female I ordered of livefish.com.

Independent UN human rights expert urges Gambia to halt stream of executions

|UN News Service, Independent UN human rights expert urges Gambia to halt stream of executions, 28 August 2012, available at: http://www.refworld.org/docid/5049e4452.html [accessed 26 May 2016]
|This is not a UNHCR publication. UNHCR is not responsible for, nor does it necessarily endorse, its content. Any views expressed are solely those of the author or publisher and do not necessarily reflect those of UNHCR, the United Nations or its Member States.
An independent United Nations human rights expert today strongly condemned the recent execution of nine people in the Gambia, and called on the Government to refrain from executing an additional 39 people reported to be on death row.
"This stream of executions is a major step backwards for the country, and for the protection of the right to life in the world as a whole," said the UN Special Rapporteur on extrajudicial, summary or arbitrary executions, Christof Heyns.
The expert recalled that the country was at the forefront in the region's efforts to abolish the death penalty in law and practice, with a moratorium on the death penalty for 27 years and the abolition of capital punishment for drug offences in April 2011.
The prisoners were shot dead by firing squad on Sunday, according to media reports that cited the country's interior ministry. President Yahya Jammeh had reportedly vowed to kill all death-row inmates by mid-September.
Prior to the nine executions carried out on 26 August, the last official execution in the West African nation took place in 1985, according to a news release issued by the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR).
Mr. Heyns also voiced concern that death sentences were imposed in violation of major international standards, including the most serious crimes provisions.
"According to available evidence the trials did not meet due process safeguards," he underscored. "The executions were carried out in secrecy, away from the public and from the families, and do not meet the requirements of transparency."
Independent experts, or special rapporteurs, are appointed by the UN Human Rights Council to examine and report back, in an unpaid capacity, on specific human rights themes.
