Two misguided CEOs? Completely necessary. Two thousand people following orders? Get rid of 'em!
One open letter to Research in Motion's top brass unleashes the in-house fury.
Boy Genius Report scores an open letter to co-CEOs Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis.
As developers flock to where the numbers are, they're getting the hell away from BlackBerry.
According to Boy Genius Report, the troubled manufacturer makes the worst choice possible.
Someone remind Jim Balsillie and Mike Lazaridis that they run Research in Motion and not Apple.

I put too much motor oil in my car's motor. About a quart - have I ruined my car? I've been driving it. I know I need to get the oil drained. But I'm worried that I've ruined my car which has been running very well until now.

In short, no. If you read the answers on this similar question, even a gallon of extra oil generally won't ruin a car.
This is what I suggested and still recommend:
It's not that big a deal. With an extra quart, most normal cars driven by normal people will just have slightly lower mileage due to pumping losses. Go ahead and get it back to the correct level, though: no need to waste gas or trouble your peace of mind.
You most likely will not cause damage by running only an extra quart. Many people racing with stock oil pans will run half a quart to a quart of extra oil to prevent the oil pump pickup from drawing in air under racing conditions. Under sustained high RPM, oil can be pumped out of the sump faster than it can drain back. This issue combined with high cornering forces would move the remaining oil in the pan away from the oil pump pickup tube, causing oil starvation and engine damage.
Your engine's optimal maximum oil level is determined by filling up to where there is a safe gap between moving parts and the oil. What you put too much oil in your engine, you risk frothing the oil due to the crankshaft and connecting rods whipping air into it. The air bubbles in the oil will interfere with the oil's shear strength, which is what keeps metal parts from rubbing directly together. Not good.
Another problem is the additional oil splashing around the crankcase from the crankshaft and connecting rods whipping it up. It will coat the sides of the cylinder walls and could result in excessive oil consumption. In the worst case, carbon deposits from the burnt oil could cause the piston rings to stick, making oil consumption even worse and reducing power.
... but again, one quart is really not going to be enough for you to run into these problems. More than one quart is asking for trouble though. See: How far can I drive with 1 gallon too much oil?
one quart probably not but 2 quarts ruined a 1984 Cadillac Sedan Deville. The excess oil had nowhere to go so it went passed the oil ring and up into the combustion chamber. The excess oil bent the exhaust valve. Very costly mistake.

As of April 8, 2014, technical support for Windows XP and Windows XP Mode is no longer available, including updates that help protect your PC. This means that if you continue to use Windows XP or use Windows XP Mode on a Windows 7 PC after support ends, your PC might become more vulnerable to security risks and viruses. Therefore, to keep your Windows 7 PC secure after support ends, we recommend that you only use Windows XP Mode if your PC is disconnected from the Internet. Learn more about
Windows XP end of support.
Using Windows XP Mode, you can run programs that were designed for Windows XP on computers running Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise, or Ultimate editions. Windows XP Mode isn't supported on Windows 8.
Windows XP Mode works in two ways—both as a virtual operating system and as a way to open programs within Windows 7. It runs in a separate window on the Windows 7 desktop, much like a program, except it's a fully-functional, fully-licensed version of Windows XP. In Windows XP Mode, you can access your physical computer's CD/DVD drive, install programs, save files, and perform other tasks as if you were using a computer running Windows XP.
When you install a program in Windows XP Mode, the program appears in both the Windows XP Mode list of programs and in the Windows 7 list of programs, so you can open the program directly from Windows 7.
The majority of programs compatible with Windows Vista and Windows XP run well in Windows 7. If a program doesn't, first try the Program Compatibility troubleshooter. It's included in all editions of Windows 7. For more information, see Open the Program Compatibility troubleshooter.
Some hardware and devices that work in Windows 7 might not be detected or work in Windows XP Mode.
Windows XP Mode was primarily designed to help businesses move from Windows XP to Windows 7. It isn't optimized for graphic-intensive programs such as 3D games, nor is it well suited for programs with hardware requirements such as TV tuners.
In order to use Windows XP Mode, you need to make sure your computer meets certain system requirements, otherwise Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode won't work correctly, even though you might be able to download and install them. Before you begin, follow these steps:
Find out whether your computer's CPU is capable of hardware-assisted virtualization. To check, download and run the Hardware-Assisted Virtualization Detection Tool.
If you receive the message "This computer is configured with hardware-assisted virtualization," you can run Windows Virtual PC and Windows XP Mode. See the instructions below.
If you receive the error message "There is no hardware-assisted virtualization support in the system," your computer's CPU doesn't support hardware-assisted virtualization. You can still use Windows XP Mode by installing an update to Windows 7. See Why am I receiving errors about hardware-assisted virtualization (HAV) when I try to use Windows XP Mode and Windows Virtual PC?. Be aware that XP Mode will run much better if hardware-assisted virtualization can be enabled.
If you receive an error message saying "Hardware-assisted virtualization is disabled," this means your computer supports hardware-assisted virtualization, but you need to change settings in your computer's basic input/output system (BIOS) to turn on hardware-assisted virtualization. Procedures to turn on virtualization settings in your computer's BIOS vary depending on the BIOS manufacturer. Check the information that came with your computer or go to the computer manufacturer's website.
Be careful when changing BIOS settings. The BIOS interface is designed for advanced users, and it's possible to make a change that could prevent your computer from starting correctly. For more information, see BIOS: frequently asked questions.
To use Windows XP Mode, you need to download and install Windows XP Mode, and Windows Virtual PC, the program that runs virtual operating systems on your computer.
When you install a program in Windows XP Mode, the program becomes available for use in both Windows XP Mode and Windows 7.
Windows XP Mode follows the same support lifecycle as Windows XP—extended support ended on April 8, 2014. Learn more about
Windows XP end of support.

On the Help protect your computer page, decide whether you want to help protect your computer by turning on automatic updates, and then click Next.
Click Start Setup.
After setup is complete, Windows XP Mode opens in a separate window.
Antivirus software isn't included with Windows XP Mode. Even if your computer running Windows 7 already has antivirus software, you should also install antivirus software in Windows XP Mode to help defend your computer against viruses.
In Windows XP Mode, insert the program's installation disc into your computer's CD/DVD drive; or browse to the program's installation file, open the file, and follow the instructions to install the program.
If the Windows XP Mode window is open when you try opening a program in Windows XP Mode from Windows 7, you'll be prompted to close the virtual machine. Be sure to save any data you want to keep in Windows XP Mode before closing it.

Mayor Williams and Councilwoman Shabazz Tour Lower Eastside of Wilmington
Posted on 12/23/2013 3:57 pm
Today, Mayor Dennis P. Williams, Councilwoman Hanifa Shabazz (D-4th District) and Reverend Terrance Keeling, a member of the Eastside Blueprint Collaborative, toured from New Castle Avenue to 9th Street and discussed potential development projects focused on the Eastside of Wilmington.
On November 10 community organizations came together and signed a Memorandum of Understanding, which created an Eastside Collaborative focused on restoring prosperity to neighborhoods and communities bounded by 4th Street to 11th Street and Church Street to Walnut Street.
"As we look to create opportunities for workforce training, economic development and housing stabilization, it is important for us to work together," said Mayor Williams. "The Eastside Collaborative is a great example of organizations within a community working together to achieve common goals and help uplift a community."
Eastside Blueprint is a planning team that was started in 2009 under the Federal Home Loan Banks Blueprint Community Program. The mission of the Blueprint Program is to unite citizens, public and private stakeholders, and community activists to revitalize communities by increasing home ownership, human services, public safety, entrepreneurship, and education to create a better place to live, learn, worship and work.

Who Wants One?
Latest News
Who Wants One?Posted byMay 11, 2011Filed under:1672
my favorite song would have to be intruder alert because he tells the story of everyday ppl and it makes me appreciate the things i have now
Favorite Lupe song has to be Hip Hop Saved My Life. Great story told inside a fantastic song. This song by far was my favorite song played in concert.
My #1 Lupe song is Fighters. This song makes me think about my life. Wanting to disappear from my pain, making me think back to not having my father in my life, making me think of all the failures that I've had, and people I've lost in my life. What am I here for? What am I fighting for? Why do I go through all the pain and sadness? "Is it cars? Is it girls? Is it money? The world?" This song brings tears to my eyes when I listen to it because it's genuine. And then I think...I can change this. I'm a fighter. Through all the downfall, I can make it through to be something that no one else has ever been: a survivor. This isn't a song that can be played without you thinking about yourself and your life. With God and my heart, I can make it. Why? Because I'm a fighter and I will fight to the end. Even if I don't win a poster, I just wanted to let everyone reading this know that this song means everything to me and helps me to want to wake up every morning to fight through it all again.
Dear Lupe, Trying to boil down which song is my favorite is, of course, very difficult, so I'll choose one of my top 3 and and explain why. As you said in your other song, "fear is such a weak emotion, that's why I despite it," and it takes courage to link child soldiers with the slippery slope of violence in video games, but you did masterfully it in "Little Weapon." Not only is the beat impeccable and the lyrics clever and cutting, it further demonstrates your intelligence and compassion about situations abroad, as well as at home. Two others that come to mind are Dumb It Down, which, the way I read it, was the much needed 'fuck you' to the negative side of mainsteam rap, and...I am just gonna have to go with The Words I Never Said. That song/video/manifesto is running through my head constantly, not only for the quality of the song, but the message that I take to heart everytime i listen to/read it. So yah, as my username makes clear I hear ya, Lu. I hope you read this. Forever a Laser, Andrew V
OK i would of pick "words i never said " but alot of people have chosen that so Iam going to be different and choose "STATE RUN RADIO " the first time i listen to this song i was giggling because its the truth !!!!!!! its not just the news that corrupted its the radio too .. people just dont relize it ..they only make you hear what you want to hear and i think its redic people these days control way to much stuff i feel like this song is sorta my response to "words i never said ' lupe fiasco is the most uplifted rapper ever i feel in love with "STATE RUN RADIO " when i heard it turn on the news what do you hear ?? or even the radio , and why dosent the US let noam chomsky have his freedom of speech ? enough said
Words i never said is his best song and video yet...its the truth everyone thinks it but noone will say it. Lupe you need to come back to BONNAROO!!!
My favorite song hands down is Intruder Alert....i mean it takes skill to rap a picture and thats what he did i could visualize everything that he said....DEEPEST LUPE SONG EVA
My favorite song is "words i never said" from the lasers album. It speaks to me, because i like how Lu incorprates politics and realworld stuff in his music, What a beast!
Lupe my favorite song is "Happy Industries" because it is just dope. Everything fits together and it is a chill, laid back song. Keep up the good work my man!
oh and also that song means alot to me prsonly beacuse ilove music so much and i am growing up ina simular situwation as that kid and just the meaning of the song is so amazing and means so much to me.
hip hop has saved my life is my favorite song....... That song means so much to me....Thanks lupe keep making music man ur amazig and mean your music meas the world to me
damnnn....geezz....the world is so cold, im glad i brought these skies! ima computer information systems major n everytime i get it they move it so im never keepin up enough! school is on some bullsh*t, my future is the first to go with budget cuts, while the tuition keeps on goin up, what the f**k! so ima keep cool n ima do me, it is what it is n thats how its gonna be! peace love n lasers......it was me boiiiiiy.....ya digggggg...................that picture would straight on the wall!!!!! pow! -DAILYnightly-
A Bathing Harry from "A Rhyming Ape" mixtape: As Lupe says in the song "It's more that just rhyming. I'm doin 'bout nine things." I love the word play and double entendres throughout. The Gorillaz beats coupled with Lupe's lyrical style mesh effortlessly with each other. Addititionally something about the meter Lupe uses get me pumped up everytime I listen. The songs a masterpiece, on a mixtape no less!
After listening to words i never said over and over, and over again it's quickly becoming my favorite song.
I would like to say many songs are my favorites but my recent favorite song would be Words I Never Said. This song really shows what society has become and if no one is willing to begin changing it then it will not. This song shows the lies, deceit, the hate we live with and all the misconceptions that interfere. Being a young Muslim girl in the U.S. Lupes songs really help me believe that there are people who don't believe in the misconceptions and look past the lies and see that we are only and all human. This song says that all the negativity can be put aside and it can get better slowly if we want it to get better.
I have several favorites but the one that always has me coming back for more is 'The Instrumental'. To me this song demonstrates how people get so stuck on wanting certain things and can't use their own creativity to make something new for their lives. It speaks to me on a personal level because I'm trying to forge my own path to my personal success and happiness.
My favorite song is The Cool from Food & Liquor! I like it because of the lyrics, the beat, and the meaning, but To be honest its difficult to really say why its my favorite. Lupe is my favorite artist, and I love all his songs. It wouldn't be fair to really have a favorite song without acknowledging the genius of every song he's released. There's just something about him that gives me that feel-good feeling. I just love his music and can't wait to see him tomorrow for Fantabuloso Dos and the Summer Bash this summer for the first time!!!!!!!!!
My favorite lupe track would have to be dumb it down because its him using his lyrical wordplay on a new level with intense metaphors, it also depicts what kind of stupid music the radio stations want these days.
--Beautiful Lasers-- Why? Because it depicts a part of Lupe that he has never shown to us. He may be a master lyricist, but still only human, left to deal with human emotions and situations. It's inspiring to know that he overcame such a dark point in his life, only to rise up bigger and better.
Top 5 favorites: 5.) I Gotcha 4.) Words I never Said 3.)Dumb It Down 2.)Kick Push 1.)The Instrumental It's really hard to pick a favorite song from Lupe lol, but I think it would have to be The Instrumental because I really feel deeply for the lyrics. People today are forgetting what 'originality' is and conforming to the ideals of society, being it something trivial as fashion or 'popularity' to being something more dreadful, like the news media. People need to learn how to think for themselves . . .That's what I say every single day when I wake up in the mornings. I feel Lupe in this song because he's put into words EXACTLY what I feel everyday when I walk around and see people brainwashed by the media. Looooove ya' Lupe! Keep your head up! : ]
Never forget you This song not only is beautiful but the lyrics are something that more people can relate to compared to other rap songs. All of your songs present a more positive and inspirational message than most main stream music. Tha'ts why i love not just this song but all of your songs,
Words I Never Said This song explains so much. The lyrics are amazing and DO speak the truth. I feel like I understand what Lupe is talking about because I feel the exact same way. Lupe is a lyrical genius. A lot of people I know lsiten to the song and simply like it because 'its tough', well know, do you know what the words of this song mean? They don't. I'm 100% with what Lupe has to say and what he believes because I can relate to it. Fuck the government, the whole world is blind by what they want us to see and not what's real. Amazing doesn't come close to describing how great this song is. Lupe has had a lot of nice music since I started getting into him in my middle school days but this one I just had to talk about..
Till i get there. Because it the song on his new album that doesn have any autotune or anything changing his voice, his lyrics are pure and the song cannot get out of my head ( LOL ) but seriously he IS FRIGGIN AMAZING!!!
"Beamin" from lasers" inspirational to all who purpose and american terrorist" ...its a true long history lesson short
Till I Get there, I love this song its catchy and lyrically its very inspiring cause it's like no matter what mistakes you make and what the world throws at you, It is what it is and thats what it is. We all got stuff going right, going wrong. None of us have everything going the way we want it, but eventually we will get there..

"NOT FOR GIRLS!" cries the wrapped of this infamous candy bar. It's made by Nestle and sold only in the UK, as we folks in the US obviously don't know how to take a joke, especially when it's written on a candy bar. I'd seen this bar around for a long time, but had never actually eaten it. I liked to point it out to friends, we'd all have a good chuckle over it and we'd move on. For me, Yorkie bar was not something to eat, but more of a humorous thing to stumble across in the store from time to time.
Considering how my boyfriend brought this one back to me to review, well, I had to finally sit down and give it a taste. I should have stood my ground and told time he'd have to try it for me, since you know, I am a girl after all.
The bar is really unremarkable in many ways. Taking it out of it's wrapper it's really just a big, thick bar that's segmented into 5 pieces. It's a good bite for each piece, and I can't understand how that'd be considered "manly".
The chocolate is a nice medium brown, creamy color. It has a subtle sheen and smells sweet.
The chocolate is hard to eat because it's so thick. It's very sweet with lots of caramel, creamy, milky flavors to it. The overall effect is a very rich milk chocolate. It does deliver a nice chocolatey flavor that's faithful to that standard dry milk UK chocolate flavor. It's just a fatter, thicker Cadbury Dairymilk in a way. Nothing noteworthy at all and I guess it boils down to how big you like the size of your chocolate bar.
Remember girls, bigger is not always better.

Castel Nuovo Civic Museum (Maschio Angioino) - Naples
In the years 1279 to 1284 Charles I of Anjou put Pierre de Chaule in charge of erecting a fortress which was destined to become the new residence for the rulers of the Kingdom of Naples.
This castle towers over the flat area which soon became the crux of urban development and political, administrative and military power in the city.
Castel Nuovo, known to Neapolitans as the "Maschio Angioino" and damaged during the wars of succession between the Angevins and the Aragonese, was rebuilt by a Catalan architect, Guillermo Sagrera, at the behest of Alfonso the Magnanimous.
The CastIe is made up of:
- the "'Armoury Room", where recent restoration has brought to light archaeological evidence of the Ancient Roma period;
- the "Hall of the Barons", the "Sala Major" of the Castle: the impressive setting for royal audiences in the 14th century, completed with frescoes by Giotto, characterised by the 28 metres high vaulted dome which has an oculus in the place of the traditional keystone;
- the "Picture Gallery", that covers two storeys: on the first there are the mostly religious works from the 15th to 18th centuries, and on the second other works from the 18th to 20th centuries, including a collection of 19th century Neapolitan paintings, and two sculptures by Vincenzo Gemito are on display;
- the "Palatine Chapel", which reveals the remains of a cycle of frescoes by Giotto and his school;
- the "Chapel of the Souls in Purgatory", whose interiors present Baroque decorations;
- the "Chapel of St. Francesco di Paola", which sheltered the Saint in 1481 on his way to Paris, decorated in the Baroque style, however, only three works by Nicola Russo remain of its historical splendour.
The triumphal arch framing the entrance to the castle was the work of Tuscan and Catalan sculptors commissioned by Alfonso, and stands as extraordinary proof of the city's readiness to embrace the innovations of the Renaissance.

Triple OT: Men's Hoops Wins at Florida State 75-73
Watch late-game highlights on GoPrincetonTigers.tv
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. -- Asked about the last time the Princeton men's basketball team went to triple overtime, Mitch Henderson responded with a feeling his players undoubtedly share tonight.
"I remember it was exhausting," Henderson, now the head coach, said of a night 17 years ago in New Orleans.
Tonight, an extra 15 minutes of work produced a 75-73 win at Florida State, which was the preseason No. 3 pick in the ACC behind Duke and North Carolina.
Henderson's freshman year was the last time Princeton went to triple overtime, and the then-rookie contributed 13 points in 40 minutes of action to help the Tigers beat Texas A&M in a holiday tournament.
It was just the sixth time in program history, and the first on a non-Ivy League team's home floor, that Princeton went at least three extra sessions.
Against the Seminoles, Princeton led 27-10 at the half before seeing Florida State chip away at the advantage, ultimately tying the game at 47-47 at the end of regulation. FSU did not lead in the game's first 40 minutes, and Princeton was inches from ending the game there before Mack Darrow's put-back attempt with two seconds remaining didn't fall.
"The first half was crucial," Ian Hummer said. "I think it really shows the character of our team to come in on the road against a very good ACC team. To withstand a triple overtime win, it shows a lot of character. Hopefully we bring that into league play."
Florida State had chances to win it at the end of each of the first two overtimes before Princeton escaped each time thanks to the Seminoles' struggles from the free-throw line.
With 2.6 seconds left in the first overtime and the score tied at 53-53, a foul by Brendan Connolly sent Florida State's Bernard James to the line for a one-and-one. if James made the shot, a victory for FSU would have been all but certain, given that Princeton would have 2.6 seconds to traverse the court and get off a shot.
James missed, however, and time ran out on the rebound.
With 24 seconds left in the second overtime, Princeton had a chance to take hold of the game, ahead 60-59. A turnover by T.J. Bray in the backcourt, however, preceded Bray's fifth foul and sent FSU's Ian Miller to the free-throw line to give the Seminoles the chance to pull ahead.
Miller missed the first, made the second, and a desperation shot by Douglas Davis at the other end didn't fall.
The teams went to a third overtime, tied 60-60.
In what became the final five minutes, two 3-pointers from Davis and two buckets inside from Hummer gave Princeton a 70-65 lead, and Princeton made 5 of 6 free throws from that point forward to ice it.
Hummer and Davis each finished with a game-high 25 points, tying Hummer's career best. Hummer added 15 rebounds, also a game high and a career high, for his fourth double-double this season. Davis played all 55 minutes and Hummer 53 of the 55.
Florida State's (8-5) losses this season are to Connecticut, Michigan State, Florida, Harvard and now Princeton. The Seminoles dropped to 0-4 all-time against the Ivy League, with three of those losses coming against Princeton and the most recent of the Tiger defeats coming in 1998.
Princeton (7-7) has now won six of its last eight games after a 1-5 start, with the two recent losses coming on the road at Drexel and Siena by four points apiece.
"We struggled in a couple games during the beginning of the year, but I think we're picking it up quite a bit," Hummer said.
The Tigers will have their first New Year's Day game since 1957 Sunday, staying in Tallahassee to face Florida A&M (2-11) at 3 p.m. on Jan. 1.
The game was the first triple overtime contest in Florida State's history.
The win breaks a 51-game losing streak for teams outside the "big six" conferences on Florida State's home floor. Florida International won at FSU on Dec. 12, 2004 for the last such victory.
Coupled with Princeton's win at Rutgers earlier this month, the Tigers have beaten two major-conference teams for the first time since the 1998-99 season. It is the first time since the 1966-67 season that Princeton has beaten two teams currently in "big six" conferences on their home floors.

Zenit development began in March 1976 in accordance with the specifications of GUKOS-MO. The Chief designer was V F Utkin at KB Yuzhnoye, with V P Radovskiy at KB Energomash being responsible for the engines, V G Sergeyev at NPO Elektropribor being responsible for the guidance system.
Work on the Zenit launch complex began in 1978. Trials of the first stage began in 1982 after a long and difficult development of the first stage engines (see the entry for the Energia launch vehicle for details). The first Zenit pad was ready in December 1983. Although the facilities were ready, the launch vehicles was held up continuing first stage engine problems. Former cosmonaut Gherman Titov was in charge of the state commission overseeing the trials. A series of 11 trials launches finally began on April 13 1985 and extended over the next two years, lofting a series of experimental payloads. In the spring of 1987 the state commission accepted the system for military use. They found that the automated launch system worked well and reliably, and the basic booster was accepted together with the Tselina-2 satellite. However much work remained to be done - construction of a second launch complex at Baikonur, qualification of a third stage for one tonne geostationary payloads, and construction of a third launch complex at Plesetsk for launch of payloads into sun-synchronous and polar orbits.
The collapse of the Soviet Union a few years later ended these plans. The pads at Plesetsk were never completed. A three-stage version of Zenit did fly, but as a commercial vehicle from the Boeing Launch platform in the Pacific Ocean.

ATLANTA (May 3, 2011) – The Aflac Cancer Center and Blood Disorders Service of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta announced today the successful launch of the SurvivorLink information technology system—a crucial tool to help physicians, clinical staff and patient families ensure childhood cancer survivors have optimal health and quality of life. SurvivorLink is led by the Aflac Cancer Center, Emory University, Georgia Institute of Technology and HIMformatics.
"Due to the incredible success rates in treating pediatric patients, about 80 percent of children and young adults with cancer will survive the disease," said Dr. Lillian Meacham, Medical Director of the Cancer Survivor Program at the Aflac Cancer Center, Professor of Pediatrics at the Emory University School of Medicine and holds the Kathelen V. Amos Children's Chair for Cancer Survivorship through The Aflac Foundation. "Cancer survivors have a variety of needs due to late effects from treatment, and we are excited that we can help ensure they get the care they need to maintain a productive and healthy life."
Late effects of cancer include physical, psychological and social issues, such as learning disabilities, vision and hearing problems, diseases of the heart, blood vessels and lungs and growth and physical maturity complications. These can occur at the time of treatment or can first appear many years after treatment ends. It is critical for all cancer survivors to be monitored long-term for late effects of cancer treatment and supported throughout their lifetime. A critical component of survivorship care is the development of a Survivor Healthcare Plan. This plan should include 3 things 1) a medical summary of the cancer diagnosis and treatment 2) an individualized late effects risk profile and 3) a personal surveillance plan for the detection of late effects.
In SurivorLink, a web-based system, the survivor can store an electronic copy of their Survivor Healthcare Plan and can invite all of their healthcare providers to view their health documents. Having all of their doctors "on the same page" facilitates coordinated comprehensive care. On SurvivorLink, they also have access to educational materials to improve awareness and knowledge, national guidelines for survivorship care and other clinical information needed to provide long-term care. Regardless of where a cancer patient resides, SurvivorLink electronically facilitates communication and shares information among the survivor, survivor team, primary care physician and any subspecialist.
In just a little more than a year, SurvivorLink has had more than 160 registered users consisting primarily of patients and families, physicians, pediatric nurse practitioners and registered nurses. The system has had an average of more than 200 visitors each month. While most visitors have been from 60 cities throughout Georgia, SurvivorLink also had visitors from many areas around the country and a few from international locations. With these types of results, the Aflac Cancer Center sees potential for expansion into other states, or adoption by other chronic pediatric disease or adult cancer follow-up.
SurvivorLink is part of the Cancer Survivor Program at the Aflac Cancer Center led by Dr. Lillian Meacham. The program was established in 2001 now following more than 1,000 childhood and adolescent cancer survivors in search of ways to improve their continued health care. In 2007, Dr. Ann Mertens joined the team at the Aflac Cancer Center and with the Emory Department of Pediatrics. Dr. Mertens is a world-renowned researcher in cancer survivor science and serves as the Director of the Center for Clinical Outcomes Research and Public Health. This newly established research center is part of a larger research effort on behalf of Children's Healthcare of Atlanta in partnership with Emory University to improve the health of children across the world.

meh i like the people who occasionally post on pd. i don't feel any loyalty to anyone but qoorl. i delete bots randomly cuz i'm way bored during the day and cuz it makes my fiance' happy. HE cares because pd basically got him through his first marriage, it might not have been pd's best times but it was the ONLY good thing he had (besides his daughter, obviously). i would get on other forums, hell i'd get on cosmo, but from what you say, rayne, it's dead too. so. any suggestions of interesting live forums?
DON'T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH! IT WAS MADE IN CHINA!!!- Alora Owens: Age 6
as soon as I was about to post I got raped... -Kirby: Age... whatever
the difference between cosmo and pd is that people on cosmo dont care. they just go with the flow. activity and quality rise and fall arbitrarily. its always been like that. theres nothing to 'improve' about the forum. theres no effort to be put in anywhere. we have like two main boards. people just post shit and cosmo will die when there is nothing to post about anymore.
but on pd there are people actively trying to improve the board, which is pointless for several reasons. for starters the spambot problem is not going to go away because no one has powers and even qoorl is going to be worn down by the endless swarm of bots that plague the board each day. also pds general quality is not going to improve significantly unless there is a resurgence of old posters or a considerable amount of good new posters which considering the state of disarray the board is currently in doesnt seem likely.
but the biggest problem is that qoorl, the guy at the forefront of this 'movement', is someone whos pushing for pushing for rps to become popular, contributions to the site, pokemon discussions and shit like that - methodical improvements. but thats radically different from what this forum was and what you want this forum to be. cultivating an atmosphere thats based around random discussion like on old pd or cosmo is completely based on spontaneity, which is why forums of this sort are so rare and die so easily. once a forum like that runs out of steam then its very hard to bring it back. i believe cosmo still has some left in it. but pd has been stagnant for a long while.
in the two and a half years that ive posted here, those brief two weeks after tags were introduced were the only bright spots in quality. everything else was shit. cosmo at least is consistent in its mediocrity. but when pd is bad it becomes bad.
im not urging anyone to join cosmo. im pointing out that its dumb to keep beating a dead horse. if qoorl wants to start a new rp forum and get people posting in it or just a new place for current pders to hangout then id support it but him trying to do it here is just depressing.
PD wouldn't have died off of key members didn't suddenly leave.
Just sayin'
I wonder if there's any way to find and bring back such key members. I for one would love to see mex reappear again. Tho i think she was much less morbid last time she was here sadly.
"I can't explain just how it feels,
the thoughts of my premature burial.
Inside this oblong box I lie,
with the hope I'll be buried alive."
to be honest no one who hasnt done so yet is not going to go over to cosmo or anything so if they want this place at least free of bots so they can make a few posts to each other every day or other day or so who really cares, thats just how its gonna happen. pd probably wont ever 'flourish' again but there will probably be brief spurts of mild activity spaced out between several months, nothing wrong with that really.
i didnt start the "classic pd ecosystem" really at all
besides we cant abandon this forum until i complete and post the ....
pd biography
guys guys guys guys how about we stop comparing and arguing about forums
there will be more resistance of leaving pd because its been around for 7 years and there is more of an attachment developed. if ANYTHING for the pursuit of one active board cosmo should come to pd.
oh and pichubro. and two out of three of you had already shifted to cosmo during THE GREAT BETRAYAL.
like really the only people showing 'emotional attachment' are qoorl who joined during the end of 07, nearly two years after god claimed pds prime had passed, kirby who joined when i did, trixie who came back last year, and the newbies. coincidentally these were the only people keeping alive at all, with a few meagre posts per week, over the past couple of months. makes no sense to me at all.
Me and Trixie were here before both Tim and Eve...
And I can't post on cosmo anymore because I forgot my password.
pm me and tell me what you want me to change it to
God hurry up and finish it its the only thing keeping me here

A new shape for new race records.
First things first -- we understand that the POC Tempor Helmet looks, well, unconventional. But, need we remind you that nearly every aerodynamic product initially tests our aesthetic palate? Eventually, the functionality of the design envelops its character and the shapes of speed become exciting. With that said, the Tempor holds a shape that's definitely never been executed before. Accordingly, this leads us to the obvious question, what power does this design hold?
Well, if you're familiar with the POC line of mountain helmets, you're aware that POC designs with safety at the forefront of the creative process. Along these lines, with all of its M.D.s, reading the staff roster at POC's development lab is more like reading a hospital directory than that of a engineering facility. So, rest assured that with on-staff medical directors in specialities ranging from neuroscience to orthopedics, your safety is of the utmost importance to POC. However, POC also understands the differences between mountain and time trial helmets -- mainly that the latter must live with a duality of function, or more simply put, combine aerodynamics with safety. Not surprisingly, the shape of the Tempor feeds into both.
Essentially, the engineers at POC redefined the art of helmet design for the Tempor, taking on a more conceptualized approach. Instead of viewing the head as an independent part of the body, POC shifted its focus to include the head and body as a singular mass. This is where the signature trailing edge and profile shapes originate from. And as a result of this coordination, airflow remains attached over a larger section of the rider's body, drastically improving the aerodynamic position. And while this sounds great on paper, we assure you that POC confirmed it in the wind tunnel. During this exhaustive testing process, POC discovered that the two main points of skin friction on a time trial helmet occur at the center of the forehead and on the shoulders. Accordingly, the Tempor gains its sloping, wide profile and two large ventilation ports at the forehead. What do they do? Well, the profile eliminates the wind eddies of standing air at the shoulders, and the ventilation ports direct airflow through the helmet instead of forcing it around the helmet. Additionally, there are two strategically located exit vents around the ear area of the helmet. So, air comes through the frontal vents and cleanly exits out the sides, reducing both drag and wind resistance. And of course, they also provide an exceptional level of cooling comfort.
Now, when we said 'exhaustive testing,' we meant it. In fact, POC developed the Tempor with the aerodynamic specialists at Semcon -- a global engineering firm with a focus on innovative design. Through this partnership, the Tempor experienced stringent field tests and tunnel simulations. The focus was on both kinetics and aerodynamics, and the simulations extended to the range of 60 billion projections. For some perspective, the Tempor helmet alone underwent 20% of the aerodynamic testing that an entire Formula 1 car receives. The end result left POC feeling comfortable enough to proclaim that the Tempor is not only the safest time trial helmet, but the fastest as well.
Visibility and comfort also played major roles in the Tempor design. With all of the aforementioned testing and development, POC achieved a structure that permits a more natural body position. This means that your aerodynamic race position will require less neck strain and will benefit from an enhanced visibility, which has been furthered through the incorporation of the Tempor's polycarbonate visor.
The POC Tempor Helmet is available in the sizes Medium/large and X-Large/xx-large and in the colors Hydrogen White and Pocito Orange.

Hi guys, I am a fan of your site. Are you...
Hi guys, I am a fan of your site. Are you getting the POC in white also? The protection in this helmet is superior to other helmet companies as they have these dual layers, right? And then there is also the size question. My head is between 58 and 59 cm, is this now a M-L or better XL?
We are all sold out of the white, and will not be getting more in stock. POC's protection technology is certainly among the best, if not the best option available. With a TT/Tri helmet, it will be better to have a tighter fit over a looser fit. Generally speaking that is the case for any helmet. You want it to fit secure and snug. At 58.5, the best fit would be the M/L.

Asked specifically about the conflict with the La Junta Education Association position, he said the school district has given the equivalent of a 1 percent increase for this year with the change of the salary schedule, by absorbing a .9 percent increase in the Public Employee Retirement Association cost and by capping the cost of health insurance at $475 per month per employee.
The school district's revamped salary schedule, although not available for publication at this time, rounds up the salary amounts at each step, effectively giving all teachers a raise.
The audit showed a $4.3 million amount in reserve at the start of the 2012-13 school year. At this time, the reserve is down to $4.1 million. School funds come from property taxes, special ownership taxes, and $7.3 million in state funding this year. Next year's budget would take roughly $668,000 more than the total estimated income of the district. Any excess amount to the actual income will be deducted from the reserve.
The bond fund is totally separate from the reserve. "If we keep going down in fund balance (reserve), we will be in trouble." A negotiating point for the district would be to allow steps in the new salary schedule for time in the district and time in the lane (BA, MA, MA plus 23).

Roy Orbison was one of the true pioneers of rock and roll and one of the greatest singers to ever record rock, pop or country music. In celebration of his legacy, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum created an exhibit highlighting different aspects of his career and personal life. Orbison was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
"Roy Orbison secured his place in modern music history with a unique blend of rock, country and pop music that defies easy description," said Howard Kramer, director of curatorial affairs at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and Museum. "His one-of-a-kind voice and ethereal songs set him apart from all of his contemporaries and made for a diverse set of followers." Orbison influenced a broad range of contemporaries, like Elvis Presley and the Everly Brothers; rock superstars like Bruce Springsteen and John Lennon; as well as more current performers such as k.d. lang and Chris Isaak.
The exhibit included handwritten lyrics and set lists, production notes, handbills, clothing, rare records and more. Highlights included:
Roy Orbison possessed one of the great rock and roll voices: a forceful, operatic bel canto tenor capable of dynamic crescendos. He sang heartbroken ballads and bluesy rockers alike, running up a formidable hit streak in the early Sixties. From the release of "Only the Lonely" in 1960 to "Oh! Pretty Woman," a span of four years, Orbison cracked the Top 10 nine times. Orbison's most memorable performances were lovelorn melodramas, such as "Crying" and "It's Over," in which he emoted in a brooding, tremulous voice. The melancholy in his songs resonated with listeners of all ages, but especially heartsick teenagers who knew how it felt to lose in love.
During his remarkable career, Roy Orbison received multiple Grammy awards, including the prestigious Lifetime Achievement award. He is also in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. In 1990, two years after his death, Roy received a Grammy for best male vocalist for his performance of "Oh! Pretty Woman" from Black & White Night. The love and respect for the writer and singer Roy Orbison didn't end the day he died in December 1988, as a new generation of fans discover his artistry.

Middletown's High's prolific offense continued its march into the record books with a resounding 48-7 road victory over William Penn Saturday afternoon at Bill Cole Stadium in New Castle. Running back Jamar Baynard and quarterback Darius Wade again showed the rest of the state why Middletown is the team to beat this year as the pair accounted for six of the seven touchdowns on a frosty afternoon. Baynard scored on a three-yard run at 3:43 of the first period. After the Cavaliers defense stifled the Colonial offense, Baynard scored with only 33 seconds left in the quarter. Patrick Leach's two PATS gave Middletown a 14-0 lead with three quarters left in the Blue Hen Conference matchup. William Penn got some offensive momentum going in the second period, and scored when quarterback Linwood Rideout found Deshawn Smith behind the Cavalier secondary for a 53-yard touchdown pass. Xx Collins PAT cut the lead to 14-7 at 7:17 of the period. Later in the quarter, Penn had an opportunity to score the tying touchdown, but Middletown's tenacious defense held on a key fourth down play. Several plays later, Baynard scored his third touchdown of the half on a four-yard run to cap an 83-yard, 7 play drive. Then, the Cavs applied the back-breaker when Wade scored on a 1-yard plunge with a mere 42 seconds left until halftime. While the Colonials regrouped in the locker room, Middletown went right back to work on offense. Baynard scored his fourth and final touchdown on a fabulous 83-yard run at the 10:50 mark of the third quarter, essentially putting the game out of reach. Not to be outdone, Wade scored his second touchdown of the contest at 3:39 of the period on a nifty 12-yard run after evading several would-be Colonial tacklers. The Colonials were able to move the ball in the second half, that is, until they got down near the red zone, at which time the Middletown defense was able to take complete control. Shane Horn scored the final touchdown of the game in the fourth quarter after Middletown coach Mark DelPercio cleared the Cavalier bench. The Cav's accumulated more that 400 yards total offense for the game. The team has scored six or more touchdowns in every game this season and is averaging 51 points per game. The defense has yielded only 105 points, or 11 points per contest. The Colonials are now 4-5 and finish the 2012 season with a road game against Glasgow on Friday night. Middletown will try to complete their undefeated season when they host rival Newark Friday night at 7:30 p.m.at Billings Stadium.

One thing my 15-year-old daughter likes to do every summer is plant a flower garden at our NEV-R-DUN farm. There's a flat spot she selected a few years ago — just outside to the right of our front porch — that has been designated as the place where wild flowers grow.
Just like she has done for several Mays before, this Memorial Day Mackenzie sprinkled some sunflower seeds in the fresh dirt and covered them. She always chooses sunflowers because they can grow to over six feet tall, are pretty, and don't require much tending to in order to grow into tall, healthy stalks.
Last weekend, we drove up to Brant Lake to check out the plumbing issues that have kept us from getting up to our summer house in the Adirondack Mountains since the fourth of July. When we drove up to our house, we were greeted by the most amazing and beautiful sight of more than a dozen extra tall sunflowers that had grown from just a handful of seeds to giant blossoms in a matter of weeks.
The sight of Mackenzie's sunflower garden gave us pause to think just how fast time flies. It made us remember that sometimes time is not counted in days or weeks but just how quickly sunflowers do grow.
As summer comes to an end, we're finding that time is not so much measured by the clock or calendar, but by the sudden coolness of a late summer night's breeze, a fading tan line, or just how loud the school bell will ring on the first day of school.
Just where did the time go, we want to know? Let's enjoy it before these lazy days of summer fade altogether, because fall is just around the corner.

PULLMAN, Wash. - Washington State and visiting Illinois battled through 110 minutes without a goal on a muddy terrain at Lower Soccer Field, Saturday in the NCAA Division I Women's Soccer Championship First Round.
With the 0-0 draw, the match was decided on penalty kicks and the Illini (10-8-3) advanced by a 3-1 margin. For the 21st-ranked Cougars (14-3-4), it was the second-straight year they were eliminated on penalty kicks in the first round of postseason (at Portland). It was also the third-straight season Washington State's first postseason match was decided in penalty kicks. The Cougars advanced at Kentucky in 2011.
"First, thank you to the people who cleared three inches of snow off the field this morning so we could play," Cougar Head Coach Keidane McAlpine said. "We had administrators, coaches, student-athletes from other sports as well as great event staff helping out. Our crowd support was tremendous. We talked about being a family and our family came together today. I feel badly for our kids because I felt they did enough to win the match. We just did not see the ball go in the net today."
The Cougars held a 29-10 advantage in shots, including 17-4 in the first half. Washington State goalkeeper Gurveen Clair was called on to make one save in the second half while Illinois goalkeeper Claire Wheatley made 11 saves, including two fantastic efforts in the first half.
In penalty kicks, Wheatley stopped Jocelyn Jeffers and Kourtney Guetlein in the first two rounds while Aliina Weykamp and Taylore Peterson converted to give the Illini a 2-0 advantage. In round three, Katie Turney made her shot for the Cougars and Clair denied Allie Osoba. After Nicole Setterlund's shot sailed high in round four, Vanessa DiBernardo sent the Illini to the second round with a conversion.
Washington State's 29 shots were the most in a match by the Cougars since 2003…Cougars posted their school-record 15th shutout in 2013…second-straight year Illinois has advanced on penalty kicks in the first round (at Missouri)…third-straight season Illini has made it to the second round having defeated Notre Dame at home in 2011.
