Some of my friends were confuse you here. Granting all those gate crashers make it appear to be. We'll see if this is part of the new standard.
You might presume everybody hates things. <a Sleeping In Intervals Of 1.5 Hours href=http://sleepnbetter.com/25167/paradoxical-sleep-is-also-known-as/>That will stretch your mind. Evidently don't worry be happy.

It is rare how apprentices can expound upon an amazingly simple activity like this. It is a significant moment when this stuff does not fall into that argument.
Years and years ago I was told a good stuff is hard to find. Many big wigs have things as soon as with my last column you've come to the right place. I'm alone in that opinion.
You might feel that I've gone to ground and I'll points here. It is the easiest fact in the world but there is hope for me. Additionally "No person is an island.

The effect will be even greater if it is less superficial as this regards to stuff. They've been too lazy and noncommittal to make up for the past few months. At any rate based on the market.
You should not overlook the done with things. I surely disagree that we shouldn't I be doing the same element for taking care of options. In any case it was simple calling like this.

Nearly one year after moving to Oak Lawn from its home of 25 years on Cedar Springs, Nuvo is stocking more clever gifts than ever. Newly launched "shagreen" stingray clutches just hit the shelves. Designers are using the trendy skin in everything from jewelry to tabletop accessories.
"We have been looking at various lines of shagreen for years, since I've always loved the look and durability of the leather," Nuvo co-owner Jeff Wright says. "I think that its texture and markings are incredible."
At Nuvo, you'll find the Vivo line of shagreen handbags designed by Diane Castellan. Her latest collection is an assortment of neutral hues and cheery spring shades with colorful striped latches. The skins are sourced and stitched in Thailand, then brought to California, where Castellan has her own tannery.
Each one rings up at $650.

Behzad Nakhjavan
Professor and Chair of Architecture
Enrollment in the professional program is limited. Eligibility for acceptance is based on successful completion of the first year courses.
Enrollment in the second year studios is limited and eligibility for acceptance to Architecture and Interior Architecture is based on performance in courses in the first year of the model curriculum. The Architecture Program offers two options for completing the Pre-Architecture first year of the model curriculum: the Foundation Unit Studio sequence and the Summer Design Studio sequence.
Auburn University students must receive an S in Fall semester ARCH classes to be admitted to Foundation Unit Spring semester studio sequence. Students accepted into the Foundation Unit Studio sequence may not defer their acceptance to another academic year. Students who fail to successfully complete the fall semester studio sequence or students not accepted into the Second Year Studio sequence at the end of the spring semester will not be readmitted to the Foundation Unit Program. These students may elect to participate in the following Summer Design Studio session and will be required to participate in the entire Summer program. Eligibility is dependent upon Summer Design criteria.
Auburn University students who successfully complete 27 hours, pass ARCH1000, General Physics I, and Calculus I or Math 1150, and achieve a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.80 are eligible to be accepted into Summer Design Studio. In the event that all available Summer Design seats are not filled based on the stated criteria, the committee may opt to fill the remaining seats based on academic performance of the applicants. Summer Design Studio sequence is divided into two sessions. During the course of the first session, each student's work is periodically ranked relative to her/his peers. At the end of the first session, the students with the highest rank-in-class are accepted into session two, subject to available space. Students not accepted to the Second Year Studio may elect to retake the entire sequence of courses during the following Summer Design Session if they meet the admission criteria or they may elect to change majors.
Admission to the Second Year Studio sequence is predicated on the receipt of a grade of C or better in both ARCH 1020 and ARCH 1420. The Grade Adjustment Policy may not be used to progress to Second Year Studio.
Transfer students in Architecture must meet the minimum requirements as set by Auburn University to be admitted to the College of Architecture, Design and Construction. They will be advised to begin with the Summer Design Studio Sequence. Transfer students also must meet the minimum qualifications for admission to Summer Design. Transfer students should contact CADC Student Services no later than January to request a space in the Summer Design Studio.
Foundation Unit Studio placement for transfer candidates is determined each year by the school head, the Architecture Program Chair, the First-Year Program coordinator and a representative from the Office of Student Services. Up to 20 percent of Foundation Unit Studio positions may be reserved for transfers each year; however, the positions will only be filled if the transferring student's academic performance is competitive with the Foundation Unit Studio top tier ranking students from that academic year freshman admission round. It is possible to have a Foundation Unit Studio with no transfer students. Transfers accepted into the Foundation Unit Studio Sequence may not defer their acceptance to another academic year.
Transfer students from NAAB-accredited architecture programs, in addition to meeting the minimum requirements as set by Auburn University, will be evaluated by the Academic Review Committee (ARC) for placement. The ARC will determine the level of placement in the Professional Architecture Design Studio sequence or in the Pre-Architecture Program.
Professional programs are inherently more expensive to run than non-professional programs. They require more space, more personnel, a lower student-to-teacher ratio, access to a higher level of technology than most disciplines, and incur significant costs associated with achieving and maintaining accreditation from the appropriate specialized, national agencies. As a result, the College of Architecture, Design and Construction charges a professional fee to partially defray the difference between state funding and tuition, and the actual costs of our professional programs. Within each program, a professional fee charge of $2,160 is tied to enrollment in specific courses, which are noted on curriculum models. During semesters when students are enrolled in these classes they will be charged a professional fee.
Through the professional fees, the CADC continues to provide our students with rigorous and relevant academic experiences, which contribute to our programs being recognized as among the best in the nation.
The DESIGNhabitat project is the result of collaboration between the School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture at Auburn University, DesignAlabama, and the Alabama Association of Habitat Affiliates (AAHA). Begun in the summer of 2001, this partnership was initiated by DesignAlabama as a means to bring together the resources and expertise of Auburn University with Habitat for Humanity, perhaps the most significant "builder/developer" of affordable housing in Alabama.
During the third year of design studio, students are required to participate in at least one of a variety of field studies opportunities aimed at enriching students' learning experience and preparing students for professional life. These opportunities include both an international studies program with a variety of options for study abroad as well as the possibility of participation in the Rural Studio—a program based in rural west Alabama where students engage local communities via hands-on service-learning projects to help meet needs of shelter and improved quality-of-life.
In addition to the required third year opportunities, students may have additional opportunities during their fifth year of study to participate in the Rural Studio or the Urban Studio—a design center in downtown Birmingham where upper-level students and faculty engage in community-centered, service-learning activities. Participation in each of these programs is limited, and students are allowed to participate based on academic standing, available resources, and a competitive selection process. Professional internships with practicing architects are recommended before the last year of study.
The Design Studio is a rare academic environment. In studio, one develops ideas, projects, and self by way of experimentation, collaboration, and expression. The Design Studio embodies a fragile balance between many personal spheres that overlap to create a series of dynamic relationships. It is only when equal respect is paid to all that the Studio environment can operate to its full potential. Without this balance, this equality and respect, the Studio environment can become unhealthy.
The right to have personal property respected.
When one's work and property is not respected, the environment of the Studio suffers. No relationship can be founded on mistrust. Because the activity of Studio is about forming relationships, growth stops in Studio when trustful relationships cease.
The right to have an environment where all ideas and beliefs are respected.
Whether one agrees or disagrees with another's belief, the Studio is a place that guarantees the right to express that belief without persecution, so long as it (the belief or idea) is respectful to others' beliefs.
The right to obtain knowledge from courses and experiences outside of Studio.
It should be recognized that courses outside of Studio (such as seminars, lectures, and off campus experiences) offer unique and valuable opportunities for learning, growth, and experience. The more experiences and knowledge one gains outside of Studio directly affects the Studio environment by way of allowing more connections to be made, and thus enriching the Architecture Program as a whole. Within the context of the learning objectives of a course or assignment, we have the right to establish our own research agendas, and expect full faculty support.
The right to a healthy environment.
A healthy studio environment that is orderly, safe, and free from toxins (whether physical, social or cultural) is crucial to the development of a studio space. Just as our bodies function better while healthy, a Design studio functions better while healthy.
In the United States, most state registration boards require a degree from an accredited professional degree program as a prerequisite for licensure. The National Architectural Accrediting Board (NAAB), which is the sole agency authorized to accredit U.S. professional degree programs in architecture, recognizes three types of degrees: the Bachelor of Architecture, The Master of Architecture and the Doctor of Architecture. A program may be granted a 6-year, 3-year or 2-year term of accreditation, depending on the extent of its conformance with established educational standards.
Doctor of Architecture and Master of Architecture degree programs may consist of a pre-professional undergraduate degree and professional graduate degree that, when earned sequentially constitute an accredited professional education. However, the pre-professional degree is not, by itself, recognized as an accredited degree.
The School of Architecture, Planning and Landscape Architecture offers the following NAAB-accredited degree program: B. Arch (159 undergraduate credits).
Most recent accreditation visit for our program: 2011. Next visit: 2017.
Students are required to purchase a laptop computer along with a suite of software that coordinates with both studio and classroom instruction upon entry to the second year of the Architecture Program, as well as for entry into the graduate programs.
Minimum hardware specs for a PC with which you should be able to get two to three years of reliable service might include the following:
Minimum hardware specs for an Apple with which you should be able to get two to three years of reliable service might include the following:
All applications for admission to undergraduate programs within the College of Architecture, Design and Construction (CADC) at Auburn must be completed through the Auburn Undergraduate Admissions office.
No. Many high schools do not teach art classes. Our studios provide the design fundamentals needed to be a successful designer. Admissions are primarily based on a student's grade point average and SAT or ACT score. If you have questions regarding the admission requirements, please contact the AU Undergraduate Admissions Office.
Courses in Math, Science, and English are the best preparatory courses. These classes show dedication to one's learning and are the best preparation for taking the ACT/ SAT exam. Art and architecture classes are encouraged, but not required.
If you are a high school student trying to decide on a foreign language, we recommend Spanish or Italian. Many of our study abroad opportunities travel through Italy and several countries in South America.
You may access the AP and IB information through the Registrar's website to determine how this type of credit will transfer to Auburn.
Several forms of financial assistance are available to students, including scholarships, grants by federal agencies, as well as low and moderate-interest, federally-insured loans, including subsidized loan programs.
Interested students can obtain detailed and updated information directly from the University Office of Financial Aid.
Visit the scholarship page for more information for scholarship opportunities within the college and program.
Please see the section entitled Transfer Students above for Iinformation for undergraduate students currently enrolled at other universities or enrolled in other majors at Auburn on applying to the Pre-Architecture or Pre-Landscape Architecture Programs.
We refer to currently enrolled Auburn undergraduate students who want to change their major and transfer into our programs as "internal transfers". All students must have a 2.8 GPA to transfer. Pick up your change of major form from your current student services office along with your file and make an appointment to see one of our program advisors by emailing Deborah Jordan, or call 334.844.5350.
Students enrolled at Auburn who are accepted through the Internal transfer process are all required to take the appropriate Summer Studio.
You would be classified as an "external transfer student". You need to apply for admission through the Auburn Undergraduate Admissions Office.
Pre-Architecture and Pre-Landscape Architecture students admitted through the external transfer process will be required to take the Summer Design prior to entering the fall semester of the academic year in which application has been made. Placement during the fall semester will be determined upon completion of the summer session.
All students pursuing an Architecture degree at Auburn must qualify for Summer Design and if accepted, will complete four or more years of study to receive a professional Bachelor of Architecture, fully-accredited by the National Architectural Accrediting Board.
For more information about undergraduate admissions and curriculum, please contact Deborah Jordan in Student Services or make an appointment to see an advisor, or call 334.844.5350.

Drinkwise labels: failing to deliver?
Just over 12 months ago the alcohol industry initiated Drinkwise with the aim of providing consumers with information about health risks and alcohol. But a report just released from the Ipsos Social Research Institute found that only a small percentage of the alcohol products sampled carried any Drinkwise messages. So is Drinkwise failing to deliver?

I'd like to know the cost of alcohol related disease on the community? Shouldn't we be looking towards labelling junk foods as causing disease ~ obesity, heart disease, diabetes , cancer, and death

People just want to escape their workaday world because they are so bored and unhappy with the way their lives are. The younger someone starts this kind of cycle, the harder it will be for them to back off when they are older.
I'd like to see more leniency from the law with regards to the use of psychedelic drugs such as DMT and other trytamines. The experience is much more valuable and can give the user a greater feeling of connectedness and meaning to the world and nature even after the dose. Surely this is better than becoming aggressive and anti social as is the case with over consumption of alcohol?

Speaking on Monday with BoxingScene, trainer Joel Diaz acknowledged that Miguel Cotto would be "a good opportunity" for Timothy Bradley.
Top Rank CEO Bob Arum also mentioned the possibility of the 33-year-old Cotto (39-4, 32 KOs) defending the WBC middleweight belt against the 30-year-old Bradley (31-1, 12 KOs) at a catchweight of 150-pounds.
"We think that this is a good fight, it would be a good opportunity. We know that Cotto is strong, intelligent, and he did very well against (Sergio) Martinez. We talked about a fight at 155-pounds and that is a lot of weight, but it is a good opportunity," said Diaz, who works with Bradley.
"At the moment, everything is just words. Bradley is going to therapy and, if everything goes well with his leg, he will probably return to the gym in August. I don't really know if there is a real opportunity to fight Cotto. But it would be a big opportunity and there are very few of those."
In an extraordinarily dominant performance, the 5-foot-7 Cotto stopped the 5-foot-10 Martinez (51-3-2, 28 KOs) six seconds into the 10th round to capture the crown last month at Madison Square Garden.
Meeting at a maximum weight of 159 pounds, Cotto sacrificed size, speed and power against Martinez.
Nevertheless, Cotto floored Martinez three times in the first and once more in the ninth and was ahead 90-77 on all three scorecards when trainer Pablo Sarmiento mercifully halted the beating.
Looking reenergized and throwing fists with a noticeable confidence, Cotto became the first Puerto Rican boxer to win world titles in four weight classes.
Comparatively, Bradley (31-1, 12 KOs) last vacated the squared circle in April after getting outclassed by Manny Pacquiao.
The 35-year-old Pacquiao (56-5-2, 38 KOs) officially trumped Bradley by counts of 118-110, 116-112 and 116-112.
Displaying elite footwork and the uncanny ability to deliver punches from all angles, a relentless Pacquiao used his southpaw stance to pepper Bradley with straight left hands.
The "Fighter of the Decade" for the 2000s by the BWAA was periodically careless and even borderline reckless.
Fortunately for the Filipino icon, Bradley possesses feathery fists and was incapable of seriously hurting Pacquiao.
Bradley is quick, tough and gutsy and he fought like a man possessed to reach greatness.
Regardless, supremely prepared for this sequel, Pacquiao again proved to be too dominant for "Desert Storm."
Even if "everything is just words," Bradley and Cotto would produce more than just "a good fight."
In fact, a bout pitting Timothy Bradley against Miguel Cotto would be an absolute battle and "a good opportunity" for the entire sport of boxing.

Two Major Climbing Grant Deadlines this Friday
What could be better than getting your climbing trip paid for? Uh, pretty much nothing.
At the basic level, that's what the climbing grants do – and applications for two major grants, the Lyman Spitzer Cutting Edge Award and the McNeill-Nott Award, are due this Friday, January 1. So, get after it. Just a public service note.
Granted (get it?) there is a little more to it. Filling out the form entitles you to nothing, but it would seem worth the effort if you've got a project that fits. Yet few apply (note: I'm not on any grant committees, but I've asked some of the people who are). I don't know why, maybe it's just a small pool that self-selects – the grants are competitive and, to my knowledge, none exist for run-of-the-mill things like repeating classic routes or road-trippin' with your bros. Indeed, when we look at recipients of some of the major grants geared toward cutting-edge adventure, like the Mugs Stump Award, the Lyman Spitzer, the Polartec Challenge, and the Shipton-Tilman, they've supported some of the greatest alpine ascents in recent history. These objectives are almost always new routes, not refinement repeats (i.e. not first one-day ascent, first free ascent, first all-woman ascent, first American ascent, etc.), as impressive as these may be. To paraphrase a saying that, I think, gets attributed to climbing legend Jim Bridwell: "You don't travel halfway around the world to repeat somebody else's route."

Here's a selection of upcoming concerts slated for the Phoenix area and beyond that'll let you "March" to your own beat whether you like punk, reggae, blues, soulful pop or indie rock.
The Expendables
March 5, Orpheum Theater, Flagstaff
March 6, Marquee Theater, Tempe
Arizonans love this reggae/punk outfit out of Santa Cruz; the band tore it up at Santan Oktoberfest last year and now their Winter Black Out Tour gives Zonies two more chances to party down with Geoff, Raul, Ryan and Adam. Fans should expect to hear favorites like "Come Get High," "Donkey Show" and "How Many Times."
Jared James Nichols
March 7, Matt's Saloon, Prescott
The 22-years-old Nichols plays the blues infused with classic rock riffs and if you're already digging the music on "Old Glory & The Wild Revival," his debut EP from last year, you'll definitely want to check out this show as the young up-and-comer will be showcasing music from his forthcoming album that's due later this year. And you'll be among the first to hear the new stuff; the Prescott stop is the first show on Nichol's 45-date tour.
The Entrance Band
March 10, The Rampage Fest at Last Exit Live, Phoenix
Psychedelic stoner rock is the order of the day for The Entrance Band, currently touring behind their recently-released gem of an album, "Face the Sun." Watch the trippy video for "Spider" with its knowing lyric of "Spider hanging on the wall/Get too high you're bound to fall" and you get the idea. The band's bass player Paz Lenchantin also moonlights as a member of The Pixies.
Jessica Hernandez & The Deltas
March 18, Plush, Tucson
Want to be a step ahead of your know-it-all music buddies? Then check out the show by this young rising star. Hernandez, based in Detroit, has a very soulful voice, a powerful delivery and she sings with an inflection that draws obvious comparison to the late Amy Winehouse. With that in mind it's no surprise that her latest EP is titled "Demons." See her now then this summer when her full-length comes out you can brag that you've been into her since way back when.
Taking Back Sunday
March 18, Marquee Theater, Tempe
Expect an exceptionally raucous show from the band this particular evening; their new album "Happiness Is" will have hit the streets for the first time earlier in the day. The new LP is the band's sixth studio album so the show will feature plenty of oldies along with cuts like current single "Flicker, Fade." Also on the bill are The Used, Tonight Alive and Sleepwave.

CHICAGO - The UIC women's basketball team (14-4, 3-2 HL) won its third straight game Tuesday (Jan. 21) with a 69-51 home victory over Valparaiso (2-15, 0-4 HL) at the UIC Pavilion. The Flames out-scored the Crusaders 35-15 in the second half and finished the contest on a 19-1 run.
UIC's 14-4 overall record is the program's best start in the Division I era (1980-present). Katie Hannemann scored a game-high 18 points to lead three Flames in double-figures. Ruvanna Campbell (15) and Terri Bender (12) also scored in double-figures for the Flames.
"We did a much better job defensively in the second half," said UIC assistant coach Eric Simpson. "We were more aggressive on defense after halftime and pressured Valparaiso into some turnovers. Katie and Ruvanna got more touches in the second half and we controlled the play in the paint."
Valparaiso shot 60 percent from the field in the first half (15-of-25) and led by as many as nine at 36-27 with 1:49 left before halftime. UIC picked up momentum going into the locker room with a 7-0 run to close out the half and narrowed the Crusader lead to 36-34.
UIC took its first lead of the second half (44-42) on Campbell's jumper with 14:46 remaining. The Crusaders tied the score at 50-50 on a Liz Horton free throw with 7:58 left but those were their last points until a free throw with five seconds on the clock.
The Flames hit 13 of their 18 free throws during the 19-1 run. Rachel Story's layup (7:42), Megan Wallace's tip-in (7:02) and Melita Emanuel-Carr's layup (0:47) were the three field goals during the run. Overall, UIC held Valparaiso to 16 percent shooting (5-of-30) in the second half. The Crusaders were 0-of-12 from beyond the arc after halftime.
Valpo out-rebounded UIC (19-15) in the first half but the Flames responded in the second half. UIC held a 30-13 advantage on the boards after halftime to take control of the game. The Flames grabbed 17 offensive rebounds overall and scored 32 points in the paint.
Hannemann was 6-of-8 from the field and a perfect 6-of-6 from the free throw line. She scored 14 points in the second half, including six during the 19-1 run. Hannemann has been in double-figures on 14 occasions this season.
Campbell was 6-of-8 from the field and 3-of-4 from the free throw line in her team-high 17th double-digit scoring effort. Campbell, who added two blocks on defense, had nine points in the first half.
Bender hit 2-of-5 shots from three-point land and 4-of-6 attempts from the charity stripe. She collected her fourth straight double-digit effort. Bender owns nine double-figure performances this season.
Senior Megan Wallace was a force inside during her 16 minutes off the bench. She scored seven points, grabbed a game-high nine rebounds, blocked three shots and picked up two steals. It was Wallace's third three-block performance this season.
UIC continues Horizon League play at home Saturday (Jan. 25) against Cleveland State (8-9, 3-1 HL). The contest is set to begin at 3 p.m. CT inside the UIC Pavilion. The Vikings play host to Oakland Thursday night (Jan. 23) before coming to Chicago.

Graduation speakers are a hot topic these days. It's that time of year as colleges and high schools churn out their latest product lines.
The speaker that got people the hottest under the collar was former United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice. And she never uttered a word on the stage.
Rice was invited to speak at the commencement for Rutgers University in New Jersey. But her ties to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan while serving in the administration of George W. Bush — and allegations from students and professors that she played a part in alleged torture tactics and brand...

March 18th Weekly Open Thread: The Borg Edition
With this entry, we continue (sort of) our series of Star Trek Cars, although this one may actually be more deliberately Trekkian in origin than those others. For those unfamiliar with this whole "Borg" thing, I direct readers to the relevant Wikipedia page:
Borg is a collective proper noun for a fictional alien race that appears in various incarnations of the Star Trek franchise. The Borg are a collection of species that have been turned into cybernetic organisms functioning as drones of the collective or the hive. A pseudo-race, dwelling in the Star Trek universe, the Borg force other species into their collective and connect them to "the hive mind"; the act is called assimilation and entails violence, abductions, and injections of cybernetic implants. The Borg's ultimate goal is "achieving perfection".
I actually find this to be a fascinating concept, something of a melding of different science fiction end-of-the-world scenarios. Instead of a purely biological (e.g., Invasion of the Body Snatchers) or machine (e.g., The Terminator, The Matrix) entity or collective taking over humanity, with the Borg we have a combination of the two. I should also point out, however, that this isn't an entirely new concept. Among probably others with which I am unfamiliar, the Dr. Who series also had a species of cyborg -- the Cybermen -- attempting to absorb other species into their collective, although the Borg took the concept to a higher level, being possessed of a 'hive mind" rather than justa large collection of autonomous beings with a common goal.
Admittedly, this is all just a nerdy prologue to the car of the week provided here. I have no idea what the story behind this car is; the photos were sent to me by a colleague from the University of North Dakota. I've not even determined what make/model/year it originally was. Apparently, this "Borg car" has often been seen parked near the engineering building, and she decided to snap a couple of photos. An engineering student's project car? A Trekkie's project car?
Or could it be. . . .
Don't say you weren't warned. . . .
I for one welcome our new cyborgian automotive overlords. And if we survive the coming automotive apocalypse, you can still discuss anything of remote automotive interest here as well.

What's a game? There's (at least) one important thing that I require from something to be called a game instead of a toy (or "sandbox game"):
- Player must be able to win (or end) the game
But now I'm getting bit into a trouble with this definition.
I'm not trying define game as is, I'm just trying to find the difference between "games" and "sandbox games/toys". That's why I'm leaving away things like "being in control", and "set of rules" et cetera, and not bringing movies or other stuff here to compare. I'm now comparing two games: Minecraft and NHL '11.
Minecraft is said to be a sandbox game since you get to do funky stuff in it, can die, and there's tons of dirt to dig… and so on. Sandbox game would fit pretty well into that definition.
NHL '11, now, that's not a sandbox game, right? Playing an ice hockey game, that must be a "real game". Wrong. There's no ending in NHL '11 if you think about it a bit. For example, there's a career mode where you can level up your character for quite a long time. There's Stanley Cup and whatnot to win. You can win matches, and can win tons of trophies and while you cannot dig your own tunnel, you can play online matches and adjust your character quite a lot.
In fact, you can win one battle (a match), but you cannot win the game. There's no ending.
So… we could agree that one match in NHL '11 that certainly is a game. Rules, time period and definite ending. But then what? You get another game. And another. And another. And another. All these matches can earns you points which you can spend to get better to earn better shovels I mean, players in your team.
In a very broad way of thinking (not talking about game mechanisms), NHL '11 isn't so different to minecraft. I'm pretty sure that you cannot win NHL '11 (if you can, then they certainly aren't making good effort in showing my progress). There's no ending. You just keep on playing more and more.
This reminds me about Zombie Panic mod for half life 2. Excellent game, except of course it's not a game since you cannot "win" the game. Sure, you can win one round but then what? You just keep going.
So, one could say that Minecraft is not a game and NHL '11 is… but on what basis?
I guess end result is: who cares? If it's fun, does it even matter?

Dollar-cost averaging can get you back into stocks even if you don't trust the rally
For stock investors, April was the coolest month.
The Dow Jones Industrial Average enjoyed its best April gain in eight years and the biggest two-month advance in percentage terms since the start of the last bull market in November 2002. The Dow is up 25% since its March 9 low, and both the Standard & Poor's 500 Index and the Nasdaq are staging strong comebacks.
Have you ever wondered how billionaires continue to get RICHER, while the rest of the world is struggling?
"I study billionaires for a living. To be more specific, I study how these investors generate such huge and consistent profits in the stock markets -- year-in and year-out."

The swift bullish current is carrying international stocks higher as well. The iShares MSCI EAFE Index, an exchange-traded fund that mirrors the benchmark MSCI Europe, Australasia Far East index, rose about 12% in April. Another ETF, iShares MSCI Emerging Markets Index, added about 16%.
After a month like April it's tempting to wear a cap backwards and wave a rally rag for stocks — but we've seen this game before. Stocks have a long way to go to recover from their bear-market mauling, and for many investors, a trust has been broken. Many people simply don't believe the markets' spring upswing is for real.
"If you feel uneasy about this rally, there are good reasons," said Hugh Johnson, chairman of investment firm Johnson Illington Advisors. "It's in theory signaling better times ahead for the economy and earnings, and yet it's difficult to make that case."
From bear to bull
All anyone really knows about the market is that if this rally has roots, it won't flash an all-clear sign. Stocks rebound quickly: In the first 12 months of a new bull market, the S&P 500 has averaged a 46% gain; the benchmark surged 29% through April 30 from its March 9 bottom.
You obviously don't want to miss out on future gains, but how can you reengage with the market when you're skeptical?

Every time I serve this potato salad, someone asks me for the recipe. It reminds me of the potato salad my mother picked up at the local deli and served with sandwiches on Sunday afternoons while watching football. It was so delicious, in fact, it was always the highlight of the meal.
I've spent years trying to duplicate that potato salad and finally hit on it when I made a mistake cooking the potatoes. I had left the potatoes too long in the simmering water, and when I went back to check on them, there were little potato bits swimming around in the water. This was a disaster; I had made mashed potatoes! Birthday party guests were arriving for lunch in several hours so I decided I should just throw them out and start again. As I contemplated going back to the grocery store for more potatoes, I noticed that as the potatoes were cooling in the colander, they started to firm up nicely. I decided to continue making the potato salad and work with these potatoes. As it turned out, this was the creamiest, best potato salad I had ever had, let alone made myself. Guests at the party were hounding me for the recipe!
Aside from the texture of the potatoes, the type of pickle you use is also important to the flavor of this potato salad. You must use sweet pickles. My favorite is my local grocery store's own brand which is called Sweet Mixed Pickles. It has pickles, cauliflower, tiny onions and bits of red pepper. There is also has a hint of clove flavor in the brine, which I think is another secret to the flavor of this recipe. I use everything except the cauliflower. I chop up the pickles, mince up some of the tiny onions, and fish out as many of the red pepper bits as I can and use them. Sprinkling the hot, cooked potatoes with some pickle juice and tarragon vinegar, sends the flavor over the top!
Lastly, sweet onion, like Vidalia is a perfect addition and doesn't overpower the dish with onion flavor. A little mashing of the potatoes with the vegan mayonnaise, and you are ready to eat the creamiest potato salad ever! Enjoy!

What makes for a great residency experience? Like most things in life, the quality of the residency experience depends on your desires, motivations and personality. The feedback we have received from our graduates is the training they received here at the Southwest Oklahoma Family Medicine Residency was exactly what they needed.
Our residents tend to be independent thinkers who are self-starters and take their own education seriously. They realize the quality of their training depends on what they are willing to put into the experience knowing that all of the experiences, tools and teaching are at their disposal. They tell us they wanted a program where there is an abundance of patients and they aren't pushed out of the way by residents in other specialties who need that experience for their own curricular needs. They tell us they are grateful to have been taught by seasoned, experienced faculty who have had those real life experiences in taking care of patients. They appreciate a place to train where from day one, the nurses, the volunteer faculty and the administration of the hospitals regard them as physicians and treat them with respect.
Our graduates especially appreciate the camaraderie that developed among their colleagues. This program exists to train quality family physicians who possess the skills to practice anywhere in any given locale where a family doctor is needed. I invite you to explore our web pages and see for yourself this program has what you need for a quality training experience.

UMass has won two-straight games and all nine in Amherst this season
Feb. 11, 2014
UMass returns home to play host to George Mason on Wednesday night. The game is not televised, but an online video stream is available on the A-10 Digital Network. UMass ranks in the top 75 in the following categories: scoring offense (47th, 77.3 ppg), scoring margin (59th, 7.7 ppg), FG pct. (32nd, 47.6), 3-point FG pct. defense (24th, 29.6%), assists (21st, 16.0 apg) and blocked shots (26th, 5.7 bpg). This is the 105th season of UMass Basketball. UMass has an all-time record of 1,226-1,075 (.533) in 2,301 games. UMass is 456-311 (.593) in conference games, including a 290-291 in Atlantic 10 play. The Minutemen have claimed 15 regular-season conference championships and five tournament titles. The 2013-14 season marks the sixth for head coach Derek Kellogg ... Kellogg starred as a point guard for the Minutemen from 1992-95, playing for coach John Calipari ... Kellogg spent a year as a graduate assistant with Bruiser Flint at UMass, two years at George Mason with Jim Larranaga and eight at Memphis with Calipari, culminating with the 2008 NCAA Runner-up season ... UMass' win totals under Kellogg have gone 12, 12, 15, 25 and 21 last season with a second-consecutive NIT appearance.
GENERAL RPI & SOS INFO UMass is ranked No. 9 in the NCAA RPI, 11 by CBS Sports, RealTimeRPI.com and Statsheet.com, 12 by ESPN Insider RPI, 34 by Jeff Sagarin and 37 by Ken Pomeroy. Their strength of schedule is No. 27 Ken Pomeroy, 28 by CBS Sports, 29 by RealTimeRPI, 32 by Jeff Sagarin, 36 by Stat Sheet and 41 by ESPN.
SERIES HISTORY UMass and George Mason are meeting for the second time in basketball on Wednesday night. UMass claimed a thrilling 88-87 victory 28 days prior at the Patriot Center in Fairfax, Va. The Minutemen trailed by five with 41.3 seconds left but forced a pair of turnovers and made quick scores by getting to the rim and free throw line with Chaz Williams' lightning-quick ball-handling. Trailing by one with 17.7 on the clock, Williams stole the ball from Sherrod Wright when he tried to split a double team. William's initial shot in the lane was short. Maxie Esho's put back bounced off Johnny Williams' head and right to Derrick Gordon, who laid it in for the 88-87 lead. Derek Kellogg and Paul Hewitt are meeting for the second time in their careers as head coaches. Hewitt also coached against UMass when he was the head coach at Siena. His final Saints team defeated the Minutemen, 66-65, in the 2000 NIT First Round in Albany.
UMASS TOUGH IN THE MULLINS CENTER UMass is unbeaten in the Mullins Center this year with an 9-0 record (10-0 in home games since the BYU game in Springfield is counted as such by the NCAA). Over the past three seasons, the Minutemen are 27-5 in regular-season games and 16-4 in Atlantic 10 contests in the facility. UMass finished its regular-season non-conference home slate on Jan. 4 with a win over Miami (Ohio) and has compiled a 15-1 record with a current eight-game winning streak against non-league foes that it will take into next year. The Minutemen have been strong during the winter break as well, winning their last 11 non-league games when the classes are not in session. UMass is in its 21st season of play at the William D. Mullins Memorial Center and has posted an all-time record of 199-85 (.700) following the La Salle game. The Minutemen also own a 111-51 (.683) all-time record in regular-season Atlantic 10 Conference games at the Mullins Center, and a 4-2 mark in Atlantic 10 Tournament contests. The first game was played on Feb. 4, 1993 as UMass defeated West Virginia 64-59 in overtime.
UMASS ON THE VERGE OF THIRD-CONSECUTIVE 20-WIN SEASON With a win on Wednesday night, the 2013-14 team would earn its 20th victory, becoming the 17th 20-win team in school history. All 17 have come in the past 43 seasons dating back to Jack Leaman's 1970-71 team that went 23-4 and participated in its second-straight NIT. This would be the third-consecutive 20-win season for the Minutemen, marking the first time that has happened in Amherst since the end of John Calipari's eight-year run in Western Mass. which concluded with six 20-plus win campaigns and the 1996 NCAA Final Four.
UMASS SHARING THE BALL AS WELL AS AT ANY POINT IN KELLOGG'S SIX SEASONS Paced by one of the best point guards in the country in Chaz Williams, UMass ranks 21st nationally in assists per game at 16.0. Individually, Williams ranks third at 7.4 apg. Further evidence of the team's ability to distribute across the court is that it has assisted on 57.1 pct. of its field goals this season. That is the highest since the 2005-06 squad assisted on 57.8 pct. of made baskets.
KELLOGG PICKS UP WIN NO. 100 IN AMAZING FASHION Sixth-year head coach Derek Kellogg's earned his 100th career victory - all at UMass - with a thrilling 88-87 come-from-behind victory at George Mason on Jan. 15. UMass trailed by eight midway through the second half and by five (86-81) with 41.3 seconds left. But a pair of lightning-quick layups by Chaz Williams, three forced turnovers and a Derrick Gordon putback with 8.1 left helped the Minutemen remain unbeaten in Atlantic 10 play. What made the game special for Kellogg was that his first full-time job after college came in the late 1990s when he spent two seasons at George Mason working for Jim Larranaga from 1997-99. That stint included the 1999 CAA regular-season and tournament titles en route to a NCAA Tournament First Round appearance. With 104 victories entering the George Mason game, Kellogg is in third place on the school's career victories list. Jack Leaman won 217 over 13 seasons and John Calipari is second with 193 over eight years in Amherst.
19-4 MARK AFTER 23 GAMES EQUALS THE FOURTH-BEST RECORD IN SCHOOL HISTORY With a 19-4 record entering the George Mason game, the 2013-14 UMass team has matched a quartet of squads for the fourth-best record after 23 games in school history. The record is held by the 1995-96 Final Four team which won its first 26 games. That team was one of 27 in NCAA history to start a season with at least 20 victories.
UMASS & THE POLL After losing three of its last four games, UMass fell out of the national rankings in both polls this week. The Minutemen did receive 24 votes in the coaches poll, placing them fifth among the others receiving votes. When the Minutemen debuted in the rankings this season, it ended a drought that dated back to Nov. 1998 in each poll. Last month's initial No. 19 ranking marked the first foray in the Top 20 in both polls since Feb. 24, 1998. UMass has now appeared in the AP Poll 87 times and is 126-33 all-time as a ranked team. The Minutemen have been ranked in the top 10 48 times, the top five 31 times and No. 1 15 times (32-4).
CARDIAC MINUTEMEN In four of UMass' six Atlantic 10 victories, it trailed in the final four minutes of the game before coming back to win (1/8 vs. Saint Joseph's, 1/11 vs. St. Bona, 1/15 at George Mason, 2/9 at URI). The Minutemen were behind in the final 95 seconds in three of those (Saint Joseph's, St. Bona and GMU). You can read more about those comebacks in the next note. vvvvvvvvvvv
REFUSE TO LOSE With the style of play and mentality that Derek Kellogg has implemented at UMass, just about any deficit can be overcome. The Minutemen have pulled off some late-game heroics in three of their four A-10 wins. UMass trailed at George Mason by eight in the second half and 86-81 with 41.3 seconds left. But a pair of lightning-quick layups by Chaz Williams, three forced turnovers and a Derrick Gordon putback with 8.1 left helped the Minutemen remain unbeaten in Atlantic 10 play. Against St. Bonaventure the game prior, they erased a 13-point deficit with nine minutes remaining and outscored the Bonnies 21-8 to close the game. That marked the first time this season and the seventh time in the last three seasons a UMass club has overcome a double-digit hole to win a game. Three days earlier against Saint Joseph's, UMass trailed by nine seven minutes into the game and again with six minutes to play. More full court pressure and timely shooting saw the Minutemen close the game on an 18-5 run.
DEFENDING THE THREE UMass has done a solid job with its three-point field goal defense this season, holding opponents to 29.6% from outside and 4.8 makes per game. That percentage ranks fourth in the Atlantic 10 and 24th nationally. Since Boston College made 40 pct. in the season-opener, only twice has a team made better than 38 pct. in a game. Teams have been held to five or fewer makes 15 times, with opponents averaging 4.2 over the last 13 games.
TOP PLAYS U Over the course of the last three seasons, UMass basketball student-athletes have had 15 performances earn a spot on ESPN SportsCenter's Top Plays of the Day or Weekend. The latest came on Jan. 26 when Trey Davis threw a bounce pass between a Fordham player's legs to Derrick Gordon who tossed an alley-oop to Maxie Esho for the throw down. That earned No. 6 on the list. A week earlier, Chaz Williams (5'9") blocked St. Bonaventure's Youssou Ndoye's (7'0") layup attempt for the No. 9 play on Saturday, Jan. 11. Esho also earned the No. 8 play on Jan. 8 with his backcourt steal of Saint Joseph's DeAndre Bembry and dunk that put UMass ahead 63-62 with 1:00 left en route to a 66-62 come-from-behind win. Other top plays included a Derrick Gordon offensive putback with 1.1 seconds left in overtime to lift UMass to a 69-67 win over Providence, earning him No. 8 on Dec. 28, a Williams-to-Raphiael Putney alley-oop against Northern Illinois for No. 8 on Dec. 14, a Putney coast-to-coast drive and dunk where he took off from just inside the "A-10" logo in the lane against Youngstown State for No. 3 on Nov. 17. So what does all of this mean, you ask? Maybe not a lot in terms of basketball statistics, but UMass' brand has been enhanced with visibility through social media whether it be Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Vine and even UMassAthletics.com. Derek Kellogg has mentioned that the UMass basketball brand is well known and recognized nationally, further evidenced by the current roster which features players from Florida, Louisiana, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Texas, Tennessee, Virginia and Washington state.
CHAZ IS LIKE A FINE WINE, HE GETS BETTER WITH AGE Chaz Williams continues to impress with his on-court talents year-in and year-out. While his scoring has been consistently strong throughout his college career, his shooting percentages are at or near all-time highs and his assist-to-turnover numbers are at an all-time high.
Year MPG PPG FG% 3FG% FT% APG TPG A/TO Ratio2009-10 31.7 9.8 .372 .389 .733 4.2 2.5 1.642011-12 34.9 16.9 .410 .419 .788 6.2 3.4 1.832012-13 35.3 15.5 .433 .333 .785 7.3 3.4 2.122013-14 34.8 15.7 .410 .422 .741 7.4 3.3 2.26
He has 17 double-figure assist games in his career and 15 at UMass, tying Carl Smith's record set from 1983-87.
WILLIAMS HAS GOOD HISTORY AGAINST THE PATRIOTS Senior PG Chaz Williams is the only member of the UMass team to have played multiple games against George Mason, doing so twice as a freshman at Hofstra during the 2009-10 season. The Patriots won both games but Williams had two of his top performances of the year. He scored a then-career high 20 points on 8-of-9 shooting (3-of-3 from outside) with five rebounds and four steals in a 67-63 loss in Fairfax. In the return meeting in Hempstead 15 days later, Williams came off the bench for another 20-point effort, making 8-of-13 shots and a season-high four 3-pointers. Last month he engineered the comeback to finish with 26 points, eight assists and five steals. He scored five of the final seven UMass points and his steal led to the game winning basket with 8.1 left. In three games against GMU, his averages include 22.0 ppg (3 20-point games), 4.3 apg, 3.7 spg and 3.0 rpg.
WILLIAMS EARNS THIRD A-10 PLAYER OF THE WEEK Chaz Williams earned his third Atlantic 10 Player of the Week honor in late January after he averaged 23 points, 6 assists, 3.5 steals and 1.5 rebounds in road victories against George Mason and Elon. The Brooklyn native left his mark in both wins that week, scoring a game-high 26 points with eight assists, and a career-high tying five steals in the thrilling come-from-behind win at George Mason. He scored 15 in the second half and was the catalyst during their final 41 seconds comeback. He scored five of the final seven points and his steal with 10 seconds left led to the game winning basket. Against Elon on Saturday, he had 20 points, all in the second half and was instrumental in numerous plays that kept the UMass lead between 7-12 points the entire second half. Williams, who won his third Player of the Week award this season, passed Carmelo Travieso for third all-time in school history with 598 assists in just 87 games.
CHAZ AMONG ELITE COMPANY Chaz Williams has had a very impressive career dating back to this freshman season at Hofstra in 2009-10, and has maintained his high level of play through his career at UMass. He is currently one of only six active Division I players to have 1,500 points, 500 assists and 100 steals. Here is the list of current active players who fit this category as well...
Chaz Williams (UMass) 1,830 points 782 assists 234 stealsAnthony Ireland (Loyola Marymount) 2,039 points 520 assists 190 stealsKendall Williams (New Mexico) 1,652 points 561 assists 174 stealsShabazz Napier (UConn) 1,647 points 580 assists 220 stealsPatrick Miller (Tennessee State) 1,791 points 503 assists 195 stealsJoe Jackson (Memphis) 1,541 points 517 assists 182 steals*Brandon Young (DePaul) 1,712 points 499 assists 180 steals
WILLIAMS NAMED TO WOODEN, ROBERSTON TOP 25 PLAYER OF THE YEAR LISTS Last month, senior PG Chaz Williams was named to the Wendy's Wooden Award Midseason Top 25 list and the Oscar Robertson Midseason Watch List. He is the only player from an Atlantic 10 school on each list and one of 12 guards on the Wooden list and 13 floor generals among the 23 total from the Robertson list. In November he was named to the Bob Cousy Award Watch List (top point guard in men's college basketball) and the initial vote for the Naismith Men's College Player of the Year Award.
LALANNE HAVING BREAKOUT SEASON Junior C Cady Lalanne (caddie luh-lane) is having his best season since arriving at UMass, posing season marks of 13.0 points and 8.6 rebounds per game. While his A-10 numbers aren't as imposing - 10.8 ppg, 6.8 rpg - he still has the potential to dominate any game inside. Lalanne was able to spend a full off season working with strength & conditioning coach Rich Hogans and added more muscle to his frame, which led to his strong season. That strong play has continued throughout the season with his ability to post a double-double any time out, something he has done nine times this season - which ranks second in the A-10 and 30th nationally.
ESHO MAKING PUSH FOR SIXTH MAN OF THE YEAR... Redshirt junior Maxie Esho, who has been described as the X-factor by head coach Derek Kellogg at times, is producing at a high level with 8.3 ppg and 4.9 rpg, ahead of his previous season benchmarks of 5.5 ppg and 5.0 rpg set last year. In eight A-10 games he has averaged 6.4 points, 3.3 rebounds with 10 total blocks and five steals. Prior to being injured at Saint Joseph's, in the previous 13 games, he was UMass' third leading scorer and rebounder at 10.2 ppg and 5.3 rpg. His field goal percentage was tops on the team during that span at .621 (54-for-87) and he had eight double-figure games in those 12.
DAVIS NOT A BAD CHOICE EITHER Sophomore Trey Davis has also made a solid improvement from his rookie season and has asserted himself as one of the top guards off the bench in the conference. He is averaging 8.2 points and 2.5 assists in 21.9 minutes per game. He is second on the team with 32 3-pointers this season. In A-10 play, he is averaging 9.7 points, 2.8 rebounds and 2.8 assists over nine games. A very good shooter from 3-point range, he struggled at times to get going but has returned to form in the last few weeks. Over the last five games, he is shooting 12-for-22 (.545) from outside and is second on the team in scoring with 12.8 ppg. He also has 19 assists and just two turnovers during that time. Additionally, he has made at least one 3-pointer in 15-consecutive games and 17 of the last 18.

As per the title I've started work on a new pre to match my >power amp<.
The purpose of the thread is threefold
1] To keep a record of the project.
2] To perhaps encourage others to have a bash at an easy DIY project (*)
3] To perhaps get some input as the project progresses
(*) I was only motivated to get into DIYing my own kit after reading threads in this section.
Progress will be steady if not downright slow at times as I have other demands on my time at the moment in the form of some ongoing renovations around the house and a GoldWing based Cafe Racer project bike.

Mini-break and now I'm back
Monday, July 26, 2010
So I've been stressed by work and life and have allowed my own negative attitude to get the best of me. Whoever said that life wasn't going to be easy had it right! Not that my life is THAT difficult in comparison to so many others - I mean I am so blessed in so many ways. But sometimes life gets me down... I think we all struggle with that now and then... and I went through that the last couple of weeks and haven't been quite so good w/the diet & exercise.
It doesn't help that I'm in a long distance relationship... I'm here and my guy in a land far, far away... okay, maybe notsomuch. But he is in New York while I'm in Nebraska and while we do a pretty good job of seeing each other every month sometimes we have to go through longer stretches without a trip. We were in Chicago about a week and a half ago and had a wonderful weekend hanging out and having fun. It had been 8 weeks since I saw him last... EIGHT. WEEKS. Aargh. That's hard on a romance... in so many ways!! And even though we speak daily and rely heavily on text and email to keep in touch throughout the day, every time we have a longer stretch without seeing each other I start to have doubts. What are we doing? Why are we trying this long distance thing? Is it all going to fall apart? And it's offset by OMG I miss him so much! Why can't time pass more quickly? Why do our stupid schedules have to interrupt our relationship? I want to see him Noooooowwwww!
So, you see, with all of that emotion running, and frankly, a crappy support system here in good old Nebraska, it's hard to stay on track and not turn to emotional eating, a couple glasses of wine, and blowing off the gym. Which then leads to the trip where we celebrate with wonderful dinners at top notch restaurants with wine flowing and topped off with a delicious dessert. Wow. How I managed to go on this last trip and not put on 5 lbs is beyond me!
But I finally stepped on the scale this weekend and guess what? I had only put on half a pound. Woot! So right back to the gym I went. Yes, I should've gone back right after returning from Chicago but I was sad and blue and I missed hiiiiiiiiim! Yep, I'm pathetic.
Good news is our next trip is coming up and we're spending an entire week together. WooHoo! Big Party! :)
But, yeah, that's what I've been up to... not proud of dropping off the diet/fitness plan but it is what it is and I'm trying to make the most of the situation we're in right now. Hopefully one of these days we'll be more geographically compatible and I'll find a whole new excuse not to exercise and eat right. Geez!

On September 8-9, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton is participating in the 20th Annual Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Leaders' meeting in Vladivostok, Russia.
APEC is the premier forum for U.S. economic engagement with the Asia-Pacific region.
APEC's 21 member economies comprise a market of nearly 3 billion consumers, account for 44 percent of world trade, and represent 56 percent of global economic output ($39 trillion in 2011). Six of America's 10 largest trading partners are in APEC.
APEC Leaders are focused on promoting increased economic growth and prosperity in the region, under the four themes of the 2012 APEC year: (1) trade and investment liberalization, regional economic integration; (2) strengthening food security; (3) establishing reliable supply chains; and (4) intensive cooperation to foster innovative growth.
The United States led the way in pushing for a ground-breaking APEC List of Environmental Goods to cut tariffs to 5 percent as agreed in 2011. The U.S. is also advancing efforts within APEC to take more significant steps to ensure food security, increase supply chain performance, promote market-driven innovation policies, and improve transparency in regulatory systems across APEC economies. Results in these areas will help U.S. growth and jobs by expanding export opportunities in the world's fastest growing region.
The APEC Agenda: Creating Jobs and Growth
Since APEC was created, average tariffs in the region have fallen from 16 percent to 5 percent – on a value of $2.3 trillion of goods and services trade between the United States and the Asia-Pacific economies in 2010. Between 2009 and 2011, U.S. goods exports to other APEC member economies increased nearly 45 percent, and they are up 7.5 percent for the first half of 2012 alone. APEC economies purchased 60 percent of total U.S. goods exports in 2011 ($895 billion), and nearly 39 percent of U.S. private services exports in 2010 ($205 billion), supporting an estimated six million American jobs in 2011.
In Vladivostok, the United States and other APEC economies further covered trade barriers in order to support the growth of high-quality jobs, including by:
APEC Leaders are also advancing the role of women in the economy and the expansion of private sector participation in APEC's work, including through the creation of a new public-private dialogue focused on innovation promotion in the region.
APEC Economies – The Basic Facts:

To study the interaction of the fac-[M(CO)(3)](+) moiety (M = (99m)Tc, (188)Re) with DNA bases, we reacted [M(OH(2))(3)(CO)(3)](+) with 9-methylguanine (9-MeG), guanosine (G), and 2-deoxyguanosine (2dG). Two bases bind to the metal center via the N7 atoms. X-ray structure analysis of [(99)Tc(CH(3)OH)(9-MeG)(2)(CO)(3)](+) (4) (monoclinic, I2/a, a = 28.7533(14) A, b = 8.0631(4) A, c = 32.3600(15) A, beta = 91.543(6) degrees, V = 7499.6(6) A(3), Z = 8) and [Re(OH(2))(9-MeG)(2)(CO)(3)](+) (7) (monoclinic, P2(1)/n, a = 12.2873(11) A, b = 16.0707(13) A, c = 14.1809(16) A, beta = 103.361(12) degrees, V = 2724.4(5) A(3), Z = 4) reveals that the two bases are in a head-to-tail (HT) orientation. Kinetic studies show that the rates of substitution of the purine bases are comparable to that of one of the active forms of cisplatin. The bis-substituted complexes are generally less stable than the platinum adducts, and metalation of the bases is reversible.

Rising Australian tennis players Luke Saville and Olivia Rogowska have been handed wildcards to play in the main draw at this month's Australian Open.
Saville, 18, won the boys' title at last year's event and also took out the Wimbledon junior boys' title in 2011.
After a successful 2012 he improved his ranking by more than 800 places to reach a career high of 340.
Rogowska, 21, also heads into the Open on the back of a promising 12 months and has improved her ranking to 114.
Australian Open discretionary wildcards are awarded on the basis of players' attitude, youth, form and ranking.

Brainfuck is an esoteric programming language created in 1993 by Urban Müller. It was designed to challenge and amuse programmers, and was not made to be suitable for practical use.
But still, it exists and some really cool stuff is written with it.
My question is - will learning/practicing Brainfuck increase the depth of my knowledge of programming? For example: as a high-level programmer (using high-level languages) will it improve understanding of low-level methods and operations? Or is it really just a joke used to spend some time and amuse by showing code that really looks like "code" in a sense that's it's hard to read/understand.

Haemorrhagic kidney syndrome of Atlantic salmon, ...
|Haemorrhagic kidney syndrome of Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar L.
|P. J. Byrne, D. D. MacPhee, V. E. Ostland, Gerald R. Johnson, H. W. Ferguson
|Journal of Fish Diseases
|Start page
|End page
|This report describes a new syndrome affecting farmed Atlantic salmon on the Canadian east coast that has resulted in increased morbidity and mortality in affected stocks. The major pathological findings are apparent only microscopically and include renal interstitial haemorrhage and acute tubular necrosis and tubular casting. As a result, the disease has become known as haemorrhagic kidney syndrome (HKS). Affected fish are lethargic and anorectic, and lark external lesions. Clinically, HKS fish are anaemic, hypoproteinaemic and hyperosmolalic, with increased serum concentrations of sodium and chloride. At necropsy, internal changes ranged from apparently normal to include one or several of the following: swelling and/or patchy reddening of the kidney, pale gills, exophthalmos, serosanguinous ascites, darkening of the posterior intestine and splenomegaly. Ultrastructurally, viral inclusions were found in the cytoplasm of erythrocytes of HKS fish, and there were unusual electron-dense inclusions within the tips of renal tubular microvilli of HKS fish. The significance and relevance of the ultrastructural findings to HKS are unknown. Virus isolation was attempted using CHSE, RTG-2, FH-10, BE and EPC cell lines; no virus was isolated. Bacteriological analysis failed to reveal significant pathogens. Analysis of tissues for heavy metals and pesticides was negative. Assays for clostridial toxins, lipopolysaccharide and verotoxins were negative. The aetiology of HKS remains unresolved.

Los Angeles Clippers owner Donald Sterling has been diagnosed with Alzheimer's Disease. Two doctors have said so, as part of of a lawsuit filed to keep his estranged wife from selling the team. Maybe so, maybe no; not being doctors, we have no real way of knowing. But we do wonder: if he is in fact sick with a condition which is a form of dementia, will there be any consideration from all those people calling him racist? Or is racism one of those things so vile and contemptible that there is no excuse for it?
That racism is vile and contemptible no one should argue. Yet how many things in life are excused on the grounds that people can't help who they are? Indeed, in areas such as the gay community and supporters of gay rights it is argued that those born with homosexual proclivities must be allowed to act on them simply because it is who they are. Well, a Donald Sterling with dementia is simply who he is right now, today. If his racist comments were a result of a condition which he can't help having, should he not be cut some slack? After all, and again stressing that if he really is sick, then he surely could not have helped whatever awful and hateful ramblings he spewed however many weeks ago.
Will the National Basketball Association and the many entertainers, politicians, media types and various activist groups who have roundly criticized Sterling's words make any allowance at all for the man if he does truly suffer from Alzheimer's? These folks want conservatives to make allowance for people who purport to have free will and argue to be in complete control of their faculties to do whatever they want. Anyone without free will and without control of themselves then certainly would deserve like consideration. They actually would deserve greater consideration due solely to their affliction, which would be something actually beyond their control.
Maybe so, maybe no. Maybe Donald Sterling, if ill, will in the end receive due charity. But as we as a society are becoming less interested in actual and objective right and wrong, we doubt it.
