Stanford men's water polo released its 2014 schedule Thursday, coinciding with the Pac-12 Network's announcement of its men's water polo and field hockey broadcast slates. On the men's water polo side, the Cardinal will have four games televised on the Pac-12 Network in 2014.
The Cardinal finished third at the National Collegiate Championship last year, its first postseason appearance since 2008. Stanford turned in an overall record of 23-6 and went 7-1 in MPSF play, reaching the title game at the MPSF Championship in November. This coming season the Cardinal, with head coach John Vargas entering his 13th season at the helm, will be paced by returning All-Americans Bret Bonanni, who set an MPSF record with 97 goals in 2013, Alex Bowen (71 goals), BJ Churnside (45 goals) and rising sophomore goalie Drew Holland (9.08 saves per game, 7.44 goals-against average).
Stanford opens the 2014 season at Avery Aquatic Center Saturday, Sept, 6 when it hosts Santa Clara. That precedes a weekend of action in Southern California, beginning Sept. 13 at the UCLA Invitational against Concordia then the following day at the Inland Empire Tournament.
The annual NorCal Invitational, at which the Cardinal took third last season, takes place Sept. 20-21 at Pacific, followed by another tournament weekend for Stanford at the Aggie Shootout in Davis from Sept. 27-28. There, the Cardinal will face Chapman, Occicental, Navy, and Whittier.
The first of Stanford's four games on the Pac-12 Network takes place Saturday, Oct. 4 with the Cardinal hosting UC Irvine at 10:30 a.m. to open MPSF play. The following day Stanford heads east on I-80 for a non-conference contest at UC Davis. The following weekend, Oct. 11-12, brings one final regular-season tournament as the Cardinal travels to Los Angeles for the SoCal Tournament.
Next up will be six straight MPSF matchups, beginning with another home broadcast on the Pac-12 Network Saturday, Oct. 18 as the Cardinal hosts USC in a return match of last season's MPSF Championship, a 10-8 Trojan win, as well as Stanford's buzzer-beating 17-16 overtime win in Los Angeles last Nov. 16.
MPSF play continues the next day (Oct. 19) at UC Santa Barbara, and the following Friday, Oct. 24, at UCLA in a matchup broadcast on the Pac-12 Network at 4 p.m. Stanford continues the weekend at Pepperdine on Sunday, Oct. 26, before returning home to host Long Beach State on Nov. 1 at noon.
Stanford's final Pac-12 Network broadcast will be Saturday, Nov. 8 for the Big Splash at California at a time to be determined. That is the first of three games in eight days for the Cardinal, as it then closes the season with a return game at Santa Clara on Nov. 12 and its home finale Nov. 15 at noon against Pacific.The MPSF Championship is set for Nov. 21-23 at Long Beach State, and the Cardinal will aim to make its second straight appearance at the National Collegiate Championship, set for Dec. 6-7 at UC San Diego.

Reuters ·
LONDON -- London is home to the most expensive property in the world, followed by Monaco, New York and Hong Kong, a new report shows.
Prime property in the British capital costs 2,300 pounds (US$4,585) per square foot, just above Monaco, playground of the rich and famous, at 2,190 pounds, according to estate agent Knight Frank and Citi Private Bank's "Wealth Report 2007." No Canadian city made this year's list.
The report points to the growing influence of high net worth individuals - defined as those with more than 5 million pounds in investable assets - on the property market across the globe.
Its index charting the value of similar property at the top end of the market in more than 70 locations ranks New York in third place, with prime property fetching an average price of 1,600 pounds per square foot, and Hong Kong in fourth, commanding 1,230 pounds.
Tokyo, Cannes, St Tropez, Sydney, Paris and Rome make up the top 10.
Elsewhere in Great Britain and Ireland, Dublin, Birmingham, Edinburgh and Manchester are identified as prime locations.
They ranked 17, 19, 21 and 22 respectively, with values ranging from 320 pounds to 470 pounds per square foot.
Knight Frank said central London prime property prices had outperformed the mainstream regional and national markets in recent years - a pattern repeated in the rest of the world.
Prices for the most expensive properties rose on average by more than 14% in 2006 compared to a 9% rise in the mainstream market.
But although London has seen prime market growth of more than 30% in the past year alone, this has been dwarfed by growth seen in the main Russian, Chinese and Indian city markets -- where prices have soared by 40% or 50%.
Rapid economic development, together with the creation of new wealthy sections of society, had led to intense competition for the best apartments and villas in secure prime neighbourhoods - and boosted prices, according to the report.
Looking ahead, Liam Bailey, head of residential research at Knight Frank, said prime property would continue to outperform mainstream markets.
"Over the next five years, we believe the trend of growing wealth and greater wealth concentration will continue," he said.
"There will be a significant demand and supply imbalance in the best prime market locations.
"Price growth this year will be lower than in 2006, although we predict prime markets will outperform mainstream markets by quite a margin."
He said up-and-coming key prime property locations included St Petersburg and Moscow in Russia, Delhi and Mumbai in India, as well as Guangzhou in China.

FOXBOROUGH, Mass. (AP) — Five weeks into their season with newcomers playing key roles, the New England Patriots seem to be coming together as a strong unit.
The running attack has had two solid games. The defense had its best day of the year on Sunday. And, as usual, Tom Brady and Wes Welker were outstanding.
The Patriots are gelling. Or so it seems.
Safety James Ihedigbo said Monday there's still a lot of football to be played and the team's goal is to improve each week.
The Patriots had problems on special teams in Sunday's 30-21 win over the New York Jets, allowing an 88-yard kickoff return by Joe McKnight. Still, it was their most complete performance of the season and improved their record to 4-1. They're home against the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday.

Eight Years Later, Harris and Yi Ride Again
By Kevin Scheitrum, NBADLeague.com
Think of it as more of a language shield.
For all the things Del Harris couldn't communicate to his Chinese national team in 2004, that English-to-Chinese language barrier also helped to insulate him as he systematically wound back a half-century of tradition.
"I wasn't reading a lot of Chinese newspapers," Harris said. "But my interpreter said that there was a good bit of questioning going on. ... They were thinking I was trying to change their culture."
Yi, shown here competing against American stars during 2006's China Basketball Challenge, debuted internationally for China under head coach Del Harris.

When Harris, now the head coach of the NBA Development League's Texas Legends after 12 years as an NBA head coach, became the first foreigner to take over China's basketball team, he had one mission: get them ready for 2008. For Beijing.
What he did was modernize a basketball program that was still pinned to a military tradition. A basketball program stuck in the 1950's. Which is to say, a basketball program good at calisthenics and better at losing.
"They said I was trying to bring NBA culture to China," China said. "And I said 'no, that's not it at all. I'm trying to bring international basketball culture to China.
"I told them the reason that they hadn't done well in the past in FIBA basketball is that they're not in line with what the rest of the FIBA countries are doing," he said. "Whether in Europe or South America, none of them were doing the same things the Chinese people were doing."
So Harris cut down the team's usual marathon practices (some would go six to seven hours) to the usual two. He instituted more strength training, so the Chinese players could bang inside against the bigger Westerners. And by the time he brought the team to Texas for summer training, his coaching staff had re-taught the entire group how to sprint.
But Harris' biggest coup came when he scrapped the list of 20 prospective players that the Chinese Basketball Association had given him and gave a tall 16-year-old a tryout. The teenager, Yi Jianlian, wasn't even a starter for his club team in Guangdong. But right away, Harris saw something.
"You could look at him and project that in four years, this guy was gonna be an incredible player for them," Harris said. "It didn't take any particular genius."
Jianlian ended up starting for that 2004 team – the one that upset defending FIBA champs Serbia and Montenegro in the early rounds and sold Chinese officials on Westernizing the team – and three years later, went to the Milwaukee Bucks as the sixth overall pick in the 2007 NBA Draft.
"I tried my best, and I tried to learn from him," Jianlian said of playing for Harris during the 2004 Olympics, his first appearance with the National Team. "I'll never forget that."
On Friday, Harris and Jianlian – who also worked together on the historically bad New Jersey Nets team in 2008 – were reunited, when the 6-11 Chinese big man signed with the Dallas Mavericks and was immediately assigned to the Texas Legends, the Mavs' NBA D-League affiliate.
After taking MVP honors in the FIBA Asian Championships in September, Jianlian's NBA season got off to a late start after he injured his knee playing ball in China in November. So, to let their big man get fully back up to speed, the Mavericks found it best to start his season in Frisco. In doing so, they'll also give Yi the opportunity to recover fully from another injury in a long line of them over the 24-year-old's short career.
"The good thing is with all the injuries I've had, none of them were big things," Jianlian said.
The move also marks the first time ever that an NBA club has assigned a veteran to a rehab assignment in the NBA D-League. Before this year, NBA teams couldn't send down players with more than two years of experience, no matter what. Now, thanks to provisions in the new collective bargaining agreement, big league teams can give their veterans the option to rehab in the NBA D-League before coming back to the NBA.
So, when Jianlian plays his first basketball game in the U.S. since last April, he'll be doing so in Austin, Tex., where the Legends take on the Austin Toros on Friday night – and not a moment too soon for the struggling Legends, Harris said.
"He's got great athleticism," Harris said. "I don't think there's any 7-footer in the league that can beat him end-to-end in running the court. He's a great jumper with timing. He has a sweet touch. He makes free throws and he's a better rebounder than people think.
"He has the qualities of Dirk, in that he's seven feet and he can shoot the ball," Harris continued. "I'm not saying he's Dirk Nowitzki, because he's an all-time great, but Yi has similar strengths."
And in a Mavericks organization desperate for frontcourt depth after Tyson Chandler's departure, Yi shouldn't have to wait too long to soak up some lessons from Nowitzki.
"I am totally excited," Jianlian said. "This will be the best team I've played for so far, with them winning a championship last year. It's great to be playing with them, with Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion and those great players. It's very exciting to be on this team."

Sometime next week–probably after practice on Wednesday, Chase Rettig will gather his offensive linemen around him and ask a simple question: Where do you guys want to have dinner tonight? It's on me."
And while that may not seem like a big deal, for Rettig the Boston College quarterback, and for the Oline, who will have a primary function of making sure Rettig stays on his feet as much as possible during the season opener against Miami on Sept.1 and for the next 11 or 12 or 13 games after that, it is a big deal.
If BC is going to bounce back from last year's 4-8 drop, it must get more production from Rettig. The OLine has always been a cornerstone for any BC success.
So has the QB, whether it has been Doug Flutie or Glenn Foley or Matt Ryan.
Rettig hasn't done anything other than give us glimpses of what he might be able to do. He also has given us peaks at what he has not been able to do–at least consistently.
Some of that showed up again in Wednesday's final scrimmage. Playing in a situation, where the Eagles trailed by 8 and started on their own 5 line with less than 4 minutes in the game, Rettig was asked to take the Eagles from their own 5 line and do something.
He did–taking the Eagles to the opposing five and then on fourth and goal threw an incomplete pass.
Game over. "It's crucial that we do those things, (scoring)," said Rettig. "We went from the five to the five. We've got to put the ball in the end zone."
Yes, they do. Yes, he does.
Rettig says the difference between this offense–Doug Martin will be the fourth offensive coordinator Rettig has had to deal with in his 2 and a half years at The Heights–is that Martin's offensive scheme is a read and react attack mode system.
"I'm really comfortable with it," said Rettig, breaking into a smile. "I think the rest of the guys are as well. The idea now is to just go out and don't worry about what happens on any play. Just keep running plays and make the defense react to what you are doing. I think the last two years, we went to the line of scrimmage and the defense would look how we were set up and we would do things based on what they were doing. Now it's going to be different. We're going to do things they will have to react to and we will be doing it all the time They will have to adjust to us rather than the other way around."
Whether that works in practice as well in theory is what Rettig and the rest of the Eagles will learn, starting against Miami.
It is a crucial game in a crucial season that could very well determine the direction of BC football for the next several years.
Rettig says he is ready. So is his offensive line. And while the season opener is not until Sept. 1, the Eagles will have their game faces on all week, including at dinner when Rettig and the Oline do some serious bonding.

When it comes to how the elite players of the Australian Open are planning on winning big, they have one element in common: They're all devoted to their strict diets. Whether it's a low-fat focus like Roger Federer or vegan virtue like Serena Williams, fueling the right way is the name of the game, reported the News Limited on Jan. 16.
Here's what scores for the top-ranked players:
Novak Djokovic became number two in the world with his exceptionally strict gluten-free diet. But he goes beyond the typical wheat-free approach, by putting his own spin on it.
Warm food, honey and water all play roles in his diet, which he documented in "Serve to Win: The 14-Day Gluten-Free Plan for Physical and Mental Excellence" (click for details).
Sloane Stephens spices up her life with curry, insisting on eating it as much as possible regardless of where she's touring.
"You guys have got to go," she told the media about a favorite restaurant at Wimbledon. "I go there every night. It's tasty. I really love it, it's the only Indian that has everything."
Roger Federer fuels himself with low-fat, carb-rich meals, in contrast. He eats cereal with low-fat milk or pancakes with syrup.
And after his workouts, he eats more carbs to refuel.
Serena Williams is varying her menu these days. Although she says that she loves chicken, she went vegan for awhile to support her sister Venus, who was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease.
Venus suffers from Sjogren's syndrome, reported the Washington Post. This autoimmune disease, which can result in joint pain and fatigue, may be helped with dietary changes, according to some experts.
Because the two live together, Serena wants to help Venus stay on her new food plan.
"I don't want her to come home and see a piece of chicken and be like, 'Oh, I want it,' and she can't have it. It would be like a stumbling block for her," Serena said.
"Truthfully, I don't eat a lot before my matches. I can't eat because I get too nervous. I'll force myself to really carb up the night before, especially later on in the tournament, because I know I wont be able to eat in the morning. But carbing-up doesn't mean pasta - I'm more into brown rice or sprouted quinoa."

Buy a phone with NOKIA written on it: maybe-----with M$ on it: NEVER!

Buy a phone with NOKIA written on it: maybe-----with M$ on it: NEVER!
What fools to completely kill Nokia.
OFCOM doesn't know what they are talking about. DTT on white space? Give me a break OFCOM! How much did the telecoms bribe you to make such an idiotic proposal. Just imagine everybody having to retune their TV every few hours because of changes in the whitespace resources. If anything needs a sure frequency assignment that is interference-free, it is DTT!
Maybe this will save them from folding. I personally HATE on-screen keyboards. Interesting, and different from anything else on the market.
Best way to reduce ex-Nokia sales another 75%. How can they be so stupid?
Use a VSAT connected intranet to connect these POS units to central server. With no physical connection to the internet, they can put as many trojans as the want in the POS firmware, but with no physical connection to the internet they won't be able to break in, and data can't get out.
Lightsquare'd move to even think that they would be able to use those frequencies so close to 1575 MHz used by civilian GPS was total technical ignorance and stupidity. Assuming that Lightsquared would be able to filter out any interference from their transmitters to the GPS frequencies, they surely could not have expected that the manufacturers of GPS equipment would be able to put suitable band-pass filters on the front-end of their receivers to prevent them to be saturated with the earth-based Lightsquared signal over 90dB more powerful. Immagine a smartphone with a telephone book sized filter attached to it! While this issue would have probably been able to be solved (but at what cost!) on board aircraft or in other vehicles, it sure would not have been possible with hand-held devices. The FCC should have NEVER even considered re-assigning spectrum to be used from only from space-to-earth. Somebody got some big kickbacks!...and that somebody in my opinion must be fired, and must spend the next 20 years in jail.
From my personal experience, if a device like this is intensively used, the battery capacity will be significantly be decreased after 2 years- unless it fails catastrophically before then. Another weak point can be the charging/usb connectors. This M$ built-in "programmed obsolescence" is an outright scam.
The solution? Maybe the UE should make it mandatory for manufacturers to extend warranties to six years by paying an extra 10% of original purchase price before the standard 2 year warranty period expires. Since no Li-ion battery is going to last 6 years, this bad habit of gluing everything together will suddenly cease.
Another thing I would like to see is a mandatory "repairabilty index" sticker on all consumer electronics; which must pass a minimum limit or otherwise be banned from sale in the UE.
No way a wireless provider can give decent service and bandwidth compared to a FTTH connection, no matter how they do it. I have heard this so many times and the end result is always crap. This might only appeal to those individuals that are blacklisted by broadband providers because they don't pay their bills. I give a FAIL before they even start
Whenever these scams surface, all those involved with the particular case at the patent office, at all levels, should be immediately fired.
Patents like these must be also immediately invalidated without appeal.
Very easy solution: NEVER purchase anything made by HP. Before purchasing any printer I always check the availability of alternative firmware so chip-less cartridges may be used.
USPTO on crack? So any entity that has local warehouses to distribute their wares more efficiently is infringing this so-called patent?? What a sick and broken patent system. The USA is becoming a troll haven.
No joke, really. It is the Campi Flegrei near Naples, Italy. Hope it doesn't blow soon.
Time will come that Apple (and maybe some other manufacturers too) will assemble their ware and then just seal everything with some low-density potting compound to make it impossible to disassemble without destroying it.
Then they might add a timer and/or hour-meter to disable the entire unit (except to back-up data?) after a certain number of working hours or after a certain date. The unit will just display:
"This device has expired; please visit your nearest Apple store and purchase one of our new great products".
They probably haven't started used potting compound yet because of the added weight.
Look out for a new patent for "Low-weight potting compound for tamper-proof portable electronic devices"
During normal use, a laptop battery will last at the most for 2 years after which its capacity becomes noticeably impaired. I would immediately put such devices on my black list knowing the difficulty of repair, or in the case of replacing batteries, just ordinary maintenance. It is not the pentalobe screws that bother me, but their excess use of glue and adhesives. There is no excuse for high-tech to be assembled in such a cheap low-tech manner. People are just plain stupid to spend so much hard-earned cash to go out and buy this crap that will prematurely wind up in a landfill.
I hate iPhones and Apple in general for their lock-down policies, but this guy is a sick moron. they should lock up these birdbrained gun fanatics and throw the keys away. Verrry sick society that permits this.
Give me a break Apple. PRIOR ART!!! This is on one of my older PCs with an ASUS motherboard dated 2002!
B U R N I N H E L L with your crappy troll patents. Never did and never will buy your crap because you think you own everything.
I had to install XP sp3 on two servers last month because the sw won't run on Win 7 or 8
For this jerk to write or even think of something this silly, with or without apologies, he is still a fool . Who votes for people like this?
I was able to signup, but when I tried to upload a 1.5mb file it started at 1k and a few minutes later just stayed at 3% for about 30 minutes. At least for now, it is unusable.
1 year battery lifetime seems somewhat lame to me. They could get a 10+ year lifetime by using a simple mercury tilt switch to power on the device only when the tree is not vertical, and a long-life lithium/thionyl chloride battery.
Anybody working with video compression knows that the hardest thing for it to do is handling rapid movement of detailed objects. Just having this dude sit there and barely move is no demo at all; I would have liked to see a such a comparison with a F1 race. Very strange that nobody present made an issue over this; were they all drugged?. One must also consider that there is not much of a comparison to make even if this clip was in 1080p h.264, as any "blockiness" and other artifacts, along with a loss in resolution could be the result of the Youtube encoding.
Very crappy demo, but I hope that h.265 lives up to the claims of 50% bandwidth less than h.264 with the same quality
This absurd award for a trivial algorithm is in the same category as the Apple / Samsung controversy. Over $ 1 billion?? Give me a break! The maximum award for a crappy patent like this should have been at the very most - if found guilty - 1% of revenues generated by the sale of that particular chip. This time it looks like the entire court was on crack!
...so crime will go down again. Simple.
All the people that I know that use Groupon are addicted to it, and if they don't get a "deal", they just don't go. So a business that is offering whatever for a fraction of the normal price is just not going to see that customer any more. Useless and expensive advertising method that just attracts freeloaders.
The entire US patent system must be redone, and the first that must go are those software patents. The system must also not leave any space for the trolls.
Overpriced phone, extortion priced NAND: they can keep them
You have to scroll down to see it....
This is almost a blatant contempt of court as to reach the link you must scroll all the way down the page to see it, even if your monitor is set to 1600x1200. Who is going to see it?
I hope the court orders them to publish it in 20pt font on their homepage, and then provide a link if one wants to continue to Apple's page.
If they still refuse to comply slap these pricks with a £ 50 million/day fine and ban the entire Apple domain from the entire EU until they do.
SHAME on you Apple! ...acting like a bunch of spoiled brats!
"They could take down the apple.co.uk domain, but it wouldn't make any difference as Apple have only had ownership of it since just recently. all it does it redirect to apple.com/uk which is where everyone has been going for the uk apple site for many, many years. I doubt many people really realise apple.co.uk now points to Apple."
If that is the case just block the entire apple.com domain in the entire UK!....
I saw that "sad" apology on the Apple website a few days ago and was wondering what the judges thought about it and if they would take further action. Now they say it "takes 2 weeks" to change it? for Apple ? Give me a break Apple - and you better stop bullying the judges around otherwise who knows what is going to happen next. Maybe the court should take the entire apple.co.uk domain down until they comply. I am beginning to really hate Apple's bully tactics!
Apple never saw any of my cash and never will, and now MS is never going to see mine again. Next notebook I buy I will DEMAND a refund for the crap OS (win 8) on it even if it means initiating a lawsuit. Looks like German courts are becoming the EU troll havens.
I would make it $1000 for any non-infringing link, plus the right to sue who issued the DMCA complaint for damages
Shame on you Apple for dumping Google Maps and replacing it with a bunch of crap. So what happened to your hyper-testing of installed SW? No matter how many engineers you hire, there is no way you could have made a working map app in a few months. That takes a lot of time and patience; plus you can't possibly have all that Streetview data which permits the Google navigation to even tell you what is written on the road signs at intersections (unless you steal that from them!)
...So programming on Win 8 is a big gamble...he said it, not me!
The first round was a flop with Alice, and this will be a flop also. It just won't work with their crappy low-speed outdated infrastructure.
From the likes and dislikes of the various posts it looks as if Register readers are 15% pro-Apple and 85% anti-Apple. If overall sales would be in the same proportions we wouldn't have the Apple-sue-everybody problem anymore as they would be bankrupt. Too bad that is not the case (yet) !
Maybe they hid it because they discovered that Apple was granted a patent for maple syrup!
I think Samsung should play a smart move now: sell all their products without any pre-installed OS (as assembled PC's were once sold), only with a bare essentials sw that lets you make a phone call with limited internet connectivity. Then they could make their personalized version of Android available as an open-source download from a server in any country (like most of Europe) that does not honor all these idiotic software patents. It would then be each individuals' responsibility to download and install the full OS; which could easily be furnished in many versions, from a no-frills non-infringing version to a feature-packed "infringing" version. What will Apple do then? Sue everybody that uses non-Apple smartphones? The manufacturer could surely not be held responsible for the consumer that installs infringing software!
If the US does not quickly revise their patent system, and invalidate ALL software patents, along with "rounded rectangle" patents, they might find themselves in a new digital "dark age"
By letting 12 morons decide the future of technological innovation is just too much!
Just look at the "likes" and "dislikes" on the various posts...Looks like the Apple trolls are getting a 95% dislike rating! I wish all consumers were the same, so these devils wouldn't have the cash to pay their evil lawyers!
The more I see and hear it looks like M$ is going to get the Darwin prize for this OS. The UI might be ok for a tablet or phone (which I doubt anyone will buy), but for business-oriented desktop users things will get really bad.
Looks like M$ sent their hit-man Elop to slowly kill Nokia, only to buy out the whole outfit when the price is way down.
..along with Win 8. And it seems like Nokia and MS are doing everything possible to make it an epic FAIL.
For not wasting my money to pay their damned patent layers; and buying a Galaxy SIII !
Almost 99.99% of this so called "high end" audiophile biz is a fraudsters haven. I know they wouldn't be in business if there enough stupid fools around that actually believe these snake oil salesmen, but I should would like to see them in jail for fraud! And that includes the Amazon CEO.
The constitutional right "to bear arms" might have been OK 2 centuries ago, and all those guns laying around will do nothing but harm.
Firearms should only be in the hands of the military and the police!
Get with it USA, try to be more civilized- get rid of all those damned guns, and send all those diehard NRA fanatics to the moon.
I have seen these "sensors" inside my phones since the mid 1990's (mainly Nokia's). A little patch of white paper with a red checkerboard pattern that becomes all red if it ever gets wet. Now Apple gets a patent for this?? Looks like Apple is becoming a full-fledged patent troll! SHAME SHAME SHAME!!! And Apple is saying that Samsung is copying the crap they make?
How can Apple give a 2-year warranty on their crappy products that have glued-in batteries? They just can't. Their products are made to be expendable, so you just go out and purchase a new one even if only the battery goes bad - and it WILL go bad after BEFORE 2 years. The consumers are to blame for filling Cupertino's wallets so much, not realizing that once problems arise with their expensive toys the only way out is buying a new one, unless you are in Italy!
The solution is just not buy anything made by Apple. I hope they burn in hell also for their patent-troll antics, trying to keep their rival Samsung out of the stores with their BS lawsuits. If they have their stores shut down for a month they deserve it! I also suggest that their entire inventory be impounded, and that any distribution by all the carriers be banned for the same period.
I will NEVER purchase ANYTHING made by Apple because of their antics. Another reason is that you cannot even replace a battery!!
I feel that the current Nokia strategy to produce their high end phones with WP (and a few others with Symbian) will eventually make them go the way of the dodo.
They should kick Stephen Elop in the rear and send him back to where he came from.
He is surely the culprit that prevented Nokia to jump on the Android bandwagon.
Nokia is capable of producing some fine hardware, and if they would produce an extraordinary Android phone Samsung surely would have another rival.
Elop is trying to force MS crapware down their throats and choking them to death!
Who cares? I NEVER use WMP anyway. VLC and KMplayer work much better, have the codecs built-in, and are both FREE!

'American Idol' Hopeful Matt Farmer Admits to Lying About His Military Service
As people question the validity of his story about his military service, "American Idol" contestant Matt Farmer has come clean about it. To the Guardian of Valor which first pointed out his lies, the singing hopeful releases a statement admitting that he was lying about being injured in an IED explosion during his deployment.
"Everything you have read is correct. It was ALL lies," he writes. "I in fact HAVE lied since a younger age and had a problem with it. I am coming out and making a statement (even though I was instructed not to) because i DO want to come clean."
"I do in fact take FULL responsibility for the actions and words I have said, and know that this will never go away," he continues in the lengthy statement. "I started to believe my own lies. And after I believed them... I would catch myself talking like it had happened to me my entire life."
The Tulisa-born guy adds, "The lies end here. I want to base the life I have left on nothing but what is real and genuine and in the here and now. I am EXTREAMLY remorseful and VERY upset that I allowed myself to take from the hard work of the guys that i was deployed with among others."
"To think that I would go on a national tv show and get away with continuing a lie so big, and so deeply imbedded in my lfe and brain... Is rediculous," he admits, before apologizing to "EVERYONE but more importantly the men I served with."
During "Idol" auditions in Long Beach, 26-year-old Farmer claimed he suffered a brain injury after being injured in an IED explosion in Iraq. "We were on a mission [in Iraq] ... we came across an IED. The IED exploded. I just remember waking up in the hospital in Kuwait. I was diagnosed with traumatic brain injury," he said. "Medication they gave me as supposed to make me be sterile, but six months later [my daughter's] mom was pregnant."
His roommate, however, contradicted his story as saying, "He was medevac'd from Ramadi because he got drunk while he was taking accutane, an acne medication... He proceeded to rat out everyone he was drinking with and never came back to the company. He was never involved in one single direct fire engagement, was never wounded."
Sgt. David Johnson, who served with Farmer, added, "Matt Farmer is a fraud... He prematurely left theatre for using banned substances specifically medication not prescribed and alcohol."
Farmer initially defended himself, claiming that part of the interview was "chopped up." He said, "IM FIRM in the fact that i know i had talked about in over 6 hours of interviews that i discussed certain missions and stuff that we did on a day to day basis...i than mentioned to a producer in an interview that i had an accident while in country and remember 'waking up in kuwait' this is where this was all pieced together."

anyone ever park up top? did the whole hike around thing this week and it was pretty crappy - very loose and muddy...
came back today to retrieve some rap gear and its about 15 seconds to reach the top of the anchors from the little pull out - plenty of room just not sure if ill get hassled
PS - HUGE ant nest right on the lip of the cliff (ouch)

Hey JJ,
I'm not sure which way you took to the top. If you scramble up the base of the cliff all the way to the top it really sucks. But if you take a side trail on the other side of the canal back almost underneath the route 34 bridge you will find a much gentler way to the top of the cliff. It doesn't help you when you have rapped in and are ready to leave and need to get your top rope gear but it is another option worth mentioning. The short option you mention was always something I avoided. I didn't want to start a new parking trend etc. so I stayed with the official parking area under the bridge. It also use to be that there were office buildings for park staff at the area you are referencing. Those buildings have been torn down but I still see rangers parking back there periodically. I recommend, for the communities sake, that you stay with the official parking area under the bridge. That or inquire with the park service about parking in the 15 seconds approach area for access to hiking trails, etc. If you learn something, post up so all of us know. Thanks

Tutorial created by Team WebAssist
Categories: Data Bridge, eCart, PHP
Many features that you see on the web require that the GD library be enabled on your PHP server. You may need the GD library if you are
attempting to display CAPTCHA graphics somewhere on your site.
In a default PHP installation, the GD library should already be enabled.
The following tutorial explains how to determine if the GD library is enabled on your PHP server, and how you might be able to turn this on.
You can check to see if the GD library is enabled by creating a simple phpinfo page on your web server.
Below are a few common examples on how to install GD.
Windows Server users
Ubuntu Linux users
sudo apt-get install php5-gd
Mac OSX users
For Mac OSX users, there is not a simple solution for enabling the GD library after PHP installation is complete. Instead, we recommend that you use MAMP, which you can obtain from the following location.
MAMP allows you to install Apache, MySQL and PHP for testing your websites locally.

Lupus and Tremors??
|Watch this
|View More Posts Ignore
I was just wondering if anyone with Lupus has, or has had, tremors of any sort?? I have head/hand tremors that come and go...chalking it up to more CNS involvement....although, doctors are calling it "Essential Tremor."
I suppose it COULD be a seperate issue, due to the fact that I have numerous family members who also have this....essential tremor. I was just wondering?? Thanks! ;)

I get them when I am tired and or stressed. My Dr. says hw's not sure why and I declined the testing... but he knows Lupus can affect the nervous system. If it gets worse, I might have the tests run but for now, I would rather not know.
|View More Posts Ignore
Hi...I'm still in the diagnostic stages, but have been doing research so I can ask informed questions. I was surprised to see your post about tremors. I have had tremors for years and was also diagnosed with Essential Tremor. What I know about E.T. is that it stems from a specific area of the brain, but has no apparent cause. Essential in medical terms means unknown cause. What else do you have that made them test for Lupus or other autoimmune?
Take care.
|View More Posts Ignore
Have they tested you for Parkinsons? It can be associated with autoimmune disorders. Often if I feel stressed and tired, My hands shake and I have a hard time writting, putting on nail poslish, doing my hair, and I drop stuff alot. It is mainly in my hands. I also have tremors in my eyeballs. When it first happened I thought we were haveing some sort of earthquake.LOL. I kept opening and shuting my eyes and it would still be doing it.It usually only lasts a day or so with each episode. The doc says I just need to rest when I feel like that. I did not know if it is epilepsy or something. I had an EEG on my brain to no avail. It showed nothing. SO I am chalking it up to the lupus.

Yes I have occassion of tremors. They mostly occur when I am very stressed.

Dungeon Defenders is an excellent local co-op game now available free to Xbox Live Gold members.
St. Patrick's Day means something different to everyone. Some celebrate the rich cultural heritage of their ancestors from the Emerald Isle while others don green and get overly excited about green food coloring in their beer. Whatever the approach, St. Patrick's Day is about celebrating life and the people around us. Whether intentional or accidental, Xbox Live is getting into the spirit of togetherness for the rest of March by adding Dungeon Defenders to its Games with Gold promotion.
Developer Trendy Entertainment is set to a release a sequel for Dungeon Defenders in Spring 2014 (Trendy Entertainment, 2014), so it is no secret that the game has been out for a while. Originally released in October of 2011 on Xbox Live Arcade, Dungeon Defenders has entertained players for years with its hybrid gameplay of action RPG and tower-defense.
In Dungeon Defenders, players must protect the Eternia crystals from hordes of monsters using one of four heroes: the wizard Apprentice, the Elf archer Huntress, the acrobatic Monk, and the sturdy Squire. Each class has a distinct set of skills and traps that cater to different styles of play. While the game offers a slew of fun challenges and special holiday-themed events, Dungeon Defenders is also one of the relatively few games available on the Xbox 360 that offers both multiplayer gameplay over Xbox Live and local co-op. Call over some company, pour some pints*, and enjoy gaming with friends in the same room on St. Patrick's Day and the rest of March.
*Always drink responsibly, and never drive while under the influence of anything that affects your judgment or motor control.

San Francisco collective 40 Thieves have hardly been prolific since releasing their first EP, the winding, organic nu-disco warmth of Point To The Joint, back in 2006. Since then, the Bay Area trio have released no more than a handful of singles, though it's fair to say that the majority of those were rather special. Most notable, perhaps, was their 2008 cover of Hot Chocolate's "Don't Turn It Off" on Permanent Vacation, which recast the saccharine, slow-burning original as an intoxicating chunk of stylized dub disco. There was also a brilliant, single-sided '80s radio style megamix of classic electro and early house records for Rong Music (the fantastic "Yo Spaceship Megamix"), an EP of laidback nu-disco grooves for the same label, and a couple of hazy, vaguely Balearic dub disco outings on Leng. That, though, is pretty much it – quality rather than quantity all the way.
The Rong Music collective will release their debut album on Leng Records next month.
Magik Sunrise sees Psychemagik return to the Leng label run by Paul 'Mudd' Murphy and Simon Purnell following the widely successful Magik Cyrkles compilation from last year. While Psychemagik were already well known within certain disco edit buying circles, it's fair to say that Magik Cyrkles was the record that opened them to a wider audience, and the ensuing global success which they have found has brought along a palpable degree of expectation for this next collection. As a result, Psychemagik have dug deeper and gone for the rarer and more obscure selections; however this isn't done at the expense of the flow of what is a surprisingly varied narrative of warm and optimistic music which hails predominantly from a bygone era.
Prolific edit and DJ duo Psychemagik have curated Magik Cyrkles, a forthcoming double CD compilation and mix for Claremont 56 sister label Leng.

Jake Erickson won the Skyhawk Fall Classic individual title last year.
Oct. 7, 2012
By John Lock
What: Skyhawk Fall Classic
Where: Paris Landing Golf Club in Buchanan, Tenn.
When: 36 holes on Monday, Oct. 8, and 18 holes on Tuesday, Oct. 9
Course Details: Par 72, 6685 yards
BUCHANAN, Tenn. - The Southern Illinois men's golf team is set to defend its team and individual titles at the Skyhawk Fall Classic on Oct. 8-9. SIU swept the team and individual crowns last year, with Jake Erickson winning the individual title. The tournament is being held at the 6,685-yard Paris Landing Golf Club.
In 2011, the team won the tournament by 14 strokes to win Southern's first team tournament title in three years. Erickson's individual title was the first individual crown for Southern in four years. Erickson went on to be named Missouri Valley Conference Golfer of the Week.
Brandon Cauldwell, Joe Goelzhauser and Jeffrey Miller all also competed last year and all finished among the top-20 individuals.
The course is nearly 900 yards shorter than the course SIU's most recent tournament, the Jim Colbert Intercollegiate. Last year's team score at the Skyhawk Fall Classic (860) was the seventh-lowest three-round team score in school history and the lowest team score in three years.

Sean Whited
Aug. 1, 2012
His playing days will end soon enough.
Sean Whited knows that, and is more than prepared for it.
But the McKinley High School graduate, now starring at Holy Cross, can't hide his enthusiasm for having one last go around playing college football.
"Most of my friends have started their jobs and are out working, while I get to play football again," Whited said. "I feel real lucky."
Whited, a fifth-year senior for the Crusaders, spoke by telephone Wednesday from the Patriot League Football Media Day at Green Pond Country Club in Bethlehem, Pa.
Whited was voted to the 2012 Preseason All-Patriot League Football Team as one of five offensive linemen. His team was picked second in the league's preseason poll behind Lehigh, which has won the title the last two seasons.
The 6-foot-3, 273-pound Whited also is a team captain, an honor he also had as a senior at McKinley.

Shutter Island Was Good Until...

well i watched it a long time ago, so i dont really remember the details too well. i just remember i was able to predict the major events of the movie. i do agree it was enjoyable, but ya, all the 'thinker' movies are basically the same.ReplyDelete
Well sometimes they go about it in a clever or original way, but as art history might call it, due to the replication of ideas, it's becoming very "kitsch."ReplyDelete
(Oh no, I just related my art history class into here haha)

Yep, this plot has been done since 1920 at least, in the Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, wherein the narrator who discovers all sorts of twisted magic and murder cases turns out to actually just be an insane patient telling a made up story in the end. So in that movie as well as Shutter Island, it would have been so much better to have ended similar to the 2nd proposal you make. sigh.ReplyDelete

28 May Training camp held in Thailand in anticipation of Asian Beach Games
With Modern Triathle added to the program of the 4th edition of the Asian Beach Games which will be held in Phuket in Thailand from 14-21 November, UIPM has been working with the newly formed Modern Pentathlon Thailand Association to train their athletes in preparation for this watershed moment in the history of this event.
The first of several training camps was held earlier this month with workshops for coaches and athletes with UIPM Technical Delegate Bernhard 'Pedro' Petruschinski lending his expertise and knowledge to the locals.
Low-cost equipment, including Eko-Aims pistols and SimPower targets, was distributed the participants with UIPM in constant discussion with coaches and athletes to oversee their training in running, swimming and laser shooting.
Held on the pristine beaches of Thailand, this training camp and workshop proved once again how easy Modern triathle is to organise and how much fun it is to part take in for people of all ages.

The Royal Oak Music Theatre was rocking on Friday night when electrofunk duo, Chromeo, brought their spirited Come Alive tour to the stage.
Since 2004, Chromeo's David Macklovitch and Patrick Gemayel have been bringing their brand of pop-funk jams with an '80s electro vibe.
Today, the band released their fourth studio album, White Women, which is a nod to erotic fashion photographer Helmut Newton's 1976 book of the same name.
The album artwork features a noir fantasy of a runaway bride cruising the streets of Miami with a lover on each arm and the album comes from the perspective of a jilted lover who is suspicious of the pretty women in his life.
The album also features appearances by Vampire Weekend's Ezra Koenig and Solange Knowles and combines elements of pop, funk, soul and synth-influenced tracks.
White Women has already spanned four singles, "Over Your Shoulder", "Sexy Socialite", "Come Alive" featuring Toro y Moi, and "Jealous (I Ain't with It)" and all four songs were featured in their set in Royal Oak on Friday.
The show kicked off with a enthusiastic deejay set from Oliver, who immediately got the crowd's energy level up, which stayed high as Chromeo took the stage and the entire building began to chant their name.
It was hard to look away from the band's eye-popping chrome set, which featured a fantastic light show of changing colors and strobes along with mirrors that faded in and out.
The band kicked things off with "Night By Night" before moving into "Hot Mess".
During the set, Chromeo mixed their new material in with some of their older hits and it was obvious that the new material was going over just as well as the old as the crowd yelled their appreciation for every choice.
Macklovitch seemed to be blown away by the reaction as he spoke about the band's last performance in the area at the much smaller Majestic Theatre and how much better it was to be playing in front of so many more enthusiastic people.
As the pair danced around the stage, the crowd moved along with them and the building shook as the bass seemed to flood the venue from every direction.
After closing things out with "Needy Girl", the band returned to the stage for an encore of "Frequent Flyer", "Don't Turn The Lights On" and "You're So Gangsta".
Chromeo Setlist:
Night by Night
Hot Mess
Come Alive
Bonafied Lovin'
Sexy Socialite
Momma's Boy
Over Your Shoulder
Jealous (I Ain't with It)
Fancy Footwork
Needy Girl
Encore: Frequent Flyer

This book is the result of a 3 year photographic project in which I originally sort to re-evaluate my feelings to the area in which I have lived for most of my life. However, this personal assignment soon developed into an intimate exploration into my relationship with photography and also several key events in my personal life during this period.
These images would have not have been possible without the encouragement and positive feedback from both friends, family and students.
I have worked in the photography and advertising industry from the age of thirteen as initially as an assistant, then a photographer and latterly as a photography lecturer. As a photographer, I am a specialist in architectural and interior images.

A little-known Vancouver company, Amfit Inc., continues to grow based on its ability to relieve the foot problems of diabetes sufferers, a fast-expanding global population.
"You could chalk it up to the baby boomer generation," said Trudi Traister, international accounts manager for the company, which makes diagnostic machines and software that measure feet for precise orthotic fittings and also makes custom shoe insoles.
Such aids often are essential for people with Type II diabetes, which afflicts aging adults.
Amfit, which had sales of more than $6 million in 2012, spent $2.2 million on an industrial building off St. Johns Road at 3611 N.E. 68th last month. It expects to move its 30-employee operation to the new site this April, leaving its headquarters of 10 years behind at 5408 N.E. 88th St., Suite D-406.
"We have expansion plans and we don't have room for that here (at the 88th Street building)," Traister said, adding that the company wanted to invest in its own headquarters. "When you have the opportunity to own your own building, it's something to look at."
Founded by Arjen Sundman in Santa Clara, Calif., Amfit moved to Clark County in 2003 when it became too expensive to lease space in the Silicon Valley.
"We needed a less expensive place to be," Traister said.
She said Amfit employees have a wide range of skills, including software engineering and information technology. The company has three pedorthists on staff, as well as production staff and lab technicians who make insoles Amfit sells through its retail division.
The company's diagnostic scanners cost about $15,000 apiece and are sold to hospitals, diabetic care centers and foot solution stores. Even high-end ski shops use Amfit equipment, Traister said.

Is there a weaker position group on the Minnesota Vikings than linebacker? No.
Chad Greenway is the most accomplished player. He is has been a fixture on the team's defense at strong side linebacker. He took a step backward last season after playing in his first Pro Bowl. He is expected to return to Pro Bowl form this season under Mike Zimmer.
The other spots are up for grabs without a strong leading candidate to start. The weak side linebacker position has been a problem for several years with less than adequate pass defenders.
The options to start opposite Greenway are special teams standout Larry Dean, second-year fourth round draft pick Gerald Hodges, former University of Minnesota and Canadian Football League standout Simoni Lawrence and waiver pick up Terrell Manning.
Hodges and Manning would be the favorites, but the best option would be to acquire one in the first few rounds of the draft. Here are the top five outside linebackers as well as an underrated, an overrated and a sleeper prospect.
No. 1 - Khalil Mack, Buffalo
Mack has continually moved up draft boards and appears like a lock to be a top-five pick. He has very good speed and size. He has the versatility to rush the pass, make plays in the backfield in run support and play in coverage. Coverage is his weakest attribute, but will make up for it with his athleticism. He may be the safest elite player in the draft. The other top-tier prospects may have slightly higher ceilings, but also have more risks to their game.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 251-pound former Bull finished his redshirt senior season with 100 total tackles, 19 tackles for a loss, 10.5 sacks, three interceptions, seven pass breakups, 10 passes defensed, six quarterback hurries, three fumble recoveries, five forced fumbles and two touchdowns.
No. 2 - Anthony Barr, UCLA
Barr entered 2013 as a favorite to be a top-10 pick. He is big and athletic. He was a running back when he got to UCLA. In 2012, he moved to defense and became a pass rushing specialist. His combination of size and athleticism is unbelievable. He is a hard hitter with an explosive burst into contact. He is unlikely going to fit into all defensive schemes with little to no coverage experience. He is going to be an outside linebacker in a 3-4 scheme as a rusher.
The 6-foot-5-inch, 255-pound former Bruin finished his redshirt junior season with 65 total tackles, 20 tackles for a loss, 10 sacks, one pass breakup, one pass defensed, two quarterback hurries, four fumble recoveries and five forced fumbles.
No. 3 - Kyle Van Noy, BYU
Van Noy has drawn rave reviews and figures to be a first or second round pick. He is a downhill player that will excel on the strong side. He does not have the athleticism or speed to consistently cover running backs or tight ends in coverage. He overcomes his lack of athleticism with a high football-IQ, play recognition skills and toughness.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 243-pound former Cougar finished his redshirt senior season with 70 total tackles, 17.5 tackles for a loss, four sacks, two interceptions, seven pass breakups, 14 quarterback hurries, one fumble recovery, one safety and one touchdown.
No. 4 - Ryan Shazier, Ohio State
Shazier is a good athlete with position flexibility. He has the tackling skills and physicality to handle the strong side while possessing the athleticism and acceleration to play on the weak side. He does not have the ideal frame, but has a high football-IQ and play-recognition skills.
The 6-foot-1-inch, 237-pound former Buckeye finished his junior season with 143 total tackles, 22.5 tackles for a loss, six sacks, four pass breakups, four passes defensed, six quarterback hurries and four forced fumbles.
No. 5 - Telvin Smith, Florida State
Smith may be the best athlete of all the linebackers in the draft. He is a long, rangy athlete with very good explosiveness. He lacks the ideal frame to play near the line of scrimmage, but excels in space. He can play multiple linebacker positions as well as on special teams. He is a fluid athlete that can be overaggressive in pursuit.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 218-pound former Seminole finished his senior season with 90 total tackles, 9.5 tackles for a loss, two sacks, three touchdowns, four pass breakups, seven passes defensed, two quarterback hurries, two fumble recoveries and two touchdowns.
Underrated - Christian Kirksey, Iowa
Kirksey has been producing since moving into the starting lineup as a sophomore. He has improved his tackles total each year. He has the athleticism to play in space and the physicality to play in the trenches. He needs to improve his tackling technique and consistency.
The 6-foot-2-inch, 233-pound former Hawkeye finished his senior season with 104 total tackles, five tackles for a loss, 2.5 sacks, one pass breakup, two passes defensed, seven quarterback hurries, two fumble recoveries, two forced fumbles and a touchdown.
Overrated - Jeremiah Attaochu, Georgia Tech
Attaochu has risen up the board in recent weeks. He has good straight-line speed, but doesn't always play like it. He will be a 'tweener prospect. He will not be able play in space and cover running backs or tight ends. He also does not have the strength or hand skills to get off blocks from offensive tackles.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 252-pound former Yellow Jacket finished his senior season with 45 total tackles, 16 tackles for a loss, 12.5 sacks, two pass breakups, three quarterback hurries and one forced fumble.
Sleeper - Ronald Powell, Florida
Powell is a very good athlete with proven pass rush skills. He was the nation's best high school recruit in 2010, but never got a chance to completely showcase his skill set because of two shortened seasons due ACL tears in the same knee. If his medical checks check out and he proves he can play in coverage, he could be a pretty good find in the middle to late rounds.
The 6-foot-3-inch, 237-pound former Gator finished his redshirt junior season with 26 total tackles, seven tackles for a loss, four sacks and eight quarterback hurries.

St. Francis Clinical Trial Studies "Disappearing" Heart Device
Bon Secours St. Francis Health System recently began enrolling in the ABSORB III clinical trial being conducted in the U.S. ABSORB III is the first U.S. clinical trial to evaluate the potential benefits of the Absorb Bioresorbable Vascular Scaffold (BVS) in comparison to a medicated metallic heart stent, also called a drug eluting stent, in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), a form of heart disease. Absorb, manufactured by healthcare company Abbott, is a small mesh tube that is designed to open a blocked heart vessel, restore blood flow to the heart and then dissolve into the blood vessel over time.
Christopher Smith, MD, Medical Director of Cardiovascular Services with Bon Secours St. Francis and Interventional Cardiologist with Upstate Cardiology said "If Absorb demonstrates positive results in this trial, this will be a significant advancement in interventional cardiology. It is significant because the metal stents used now stay forever. With Absorb, over time the scaffold is completely gone, which could result in unique benefits not seen before with metallic stents."
Bon Secours St. Francis is one of the first in the state to enroll patients in the ABSORB III trial. CAD is a leading cause of death for men and women in the United States and patients with CAD can experience symptoms such as chest pain and shortness of breath when the demand for blood to the heart is more than the heart's ability to supply blood due to blockages in the vessels that supply blood to the heart. These blockages are caused by the build-up of fat and cholesterol inside the vessel.
Since the 1970s, physicians have treated patients with CAD with balloon angioplasty, metallic and drug eluting metallic stents, allowing many patients to avoid open heart surgery. About a decade ago, scientists at Abbott started development of Absorb and now Abbott is the first company in the world to begin testing a bioresorbable vascular scaffold in patients in the United States. Unlike a metallic stent that remains permanently in the body, Absorb is referred to as a scaffold to indicate that it is a temporary structure. Abbott's Absorb BVS is made of polylactide, a naturally dissolvable material that is commonly used in medical implants such as dissolving sutures.
The ABSORB III clinical trial will enroll approximately 2,250 patients, the majority in the United States. The primary endpoint of the trial is target lesion failure, a combined measure of safety and efficacy, at one year. In addition, a subset of patients within the trial will be evaluated for novel endpoints such as vasomotion, a measure of how much natural motion returns to the vessel as Absorb dissolves into the arterial tissue. Each year, about 785,000 Americans have a first heart attack. Another 470,000 who have already experienced one or more heart attacks will have another. Heart disease accounts for one of every six deaths that take place in the U.S.2
1Absorb dissolves except for two pairs of tiny metallic markers, which help guide placement and remain in the artery to enable a physician to see where the device was placed.
2 Signs and Symptoms, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. April 9, 2012. http://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/signs_symptoms.htm
CAUTION: Investigational device limited by Federal (U.S.) law to investigational use only.

not sure if what I want is possible so I´d appreciate any pointers. I have full control over the infrastructure (DNS and servers)
Currently I receive mails for domain.tld. MX record for domain.tld is gw.domain.tld. gw then does some spam and virus checking and forwards the mails to the internal exchange server. GW is a Proxmox Mail Gateway Box (Free license)
Now what I want is to distribute mails for different recipients to other mail servers. Basicly I only want email@example.com and email@example.com to go to the exchange as before, but all others go to a different mail server (based on linux).
Any idea how I could achieve this?

"Once Upon A Time" is on a break on ABC, but that has not stopped the men in charge of the series from teasing fans about what is coming up next. On Feb. 14, Give Me My Remote shared the latest comments made by Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis about the series.
Fans should expect the second half of season three to feel like an entirely new season. The mid-season finale ended with a time jump of a year, but fans will see that time played out in flashbacks. Fans will see Emma's life during that year, and they will also see what happened after the residents of Storybrooke returned to the enchanted forest.
The Wicked Witch will be the big villain during the second half of the season, but fans should not expect her to stick around for season four. The battle between her and Regina will be the big focus during the next batch of episodes. The Wicked Witch will have a connection to a few of the regular cast members.
As for Regina, she will have a lot to deal with during the episodes ahead. Adam Horowitz teased the following about her:
She's her own unique creation. She does what she does for a very specific reason that goes beyond simple good and evil. And I think she continues that way. We saw her uneasy alliance with the characters, and I think that will happen, but what I think will continue to happen is when she encounters the Wicked Witch, there are some major sparks that will fly.
What do you think? Are you excited to see the second half of season three? "Once Upon A Time" will return to ABC on March 9.

"That everyone who believes may have eternal life in him."(John 3:15)
The Holy Bible teaches that people will live forever. It gives a description of two places that one can call their home. It is heaven with God or hell without Him. God has His throne in Heaven. Jesus, God's only Son, is also in heaven and sits on the right side of His throne. The angelic hosts that serve God are in Heaven. All believers have a home in heaven.
Believers receive Jesus Christ and His work on the cross. They receive the Holy Spirit to live in them. They have eternal life. Life will be spent forever and ever in the presence of God. Those not believing in Jesus will have eternal death and be forever separated from God's presence. Hell is described as a place of fire and suffering while heaven is the place of rest with the abundance of joy.
God's intention is to give eternal life to as many that would believe and call on His Son, Jesus. Jesus is the way to life!
Challenge: Believer, it is always the right time to tell others how to have eternal life. Eternal life is the person, Jesus Christ! Amen!
Eternal Life is Real!
Eternal life is real. God has made eternal life available through His only Son, Jesus Christ! Believers have eternal life. This means living with God forever and ever!
Hell is Real!
Hell is a real place. It is described in the Holy Bible. "Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire."(Revelation 20:15) Hell is a place for unbelievers. It is eternal separation from God!
Heaven is Real!
Heaven is a real place. God and Jesus are in heaven. Believers have a home there to live throughout eternity. God presence will always be there. No death, tears, or pain will be found in heaven. "'He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death'[a] or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away."(Revelation 21:4)

Entry 3 by Paige Martin:
Our last tournament of the fall season was in Las Vegas. I think that our team has set the standard pretty high on how to have fun. For those of you who have not been to Vegas there is a Stratosphere that is a viewing tower of the city. It is about 1000 feet in the air, and has thrill rides on the top. We rode two of them and I think the whole team would agree it was a thrill of a lifetime. We even got coach up there with us! We were hanging off the side of the tower looking down! How about that for my first semester playing college golf?
The tournament had a very good field and we were hoping to do well in it. We had great weather all three days. The elements could not have been better to play good golf. We all seemed to struggle though. We learned what we needed to work on over the break between our fall and spring seasons. Although this is my first semester I have learned a lot about our team. All of the girls have great attitudes, and we all know we need to work harder. We aren't satisfied with how we played, though we did have a lot of fun together. We expect to come out "swingin" in the spring!
We had great support from our family and friends at this tournament. I'm not really sure if it was because of the gambling or just to watch us play. Either way it was great to have people out there rooting us on!!

Ready To…
With Valentine's day over, it feels like we're only a hop, skip and jump away from spring. I splurged and treated myself to these yesterday. I've been wanting them for so long and they finally got my size back in stock! I can't wait to wear them with cigarette jeans, shorts and just the right white dress. The above photos capture two things I love about warmer weather: high-waisted bell bottoms and shorter hemlines. What's not to love?Although I do prefer the colder months, I'm ready for frozen ritas, a trip to the beach and warm weather clothes.
I'd love to know: what's on your spring wish list?

Fasten Your Borscht Belts…
The New York Times Bestseller is Now in Paperback!
"Wise, witty and altogether wonderful." —William Grimes, The New York Times
"Funny, erudite." —People
"Required reading." —The New York Post
Now available in paperback from Harper Perennial!
A delightful excursion through the Yiddish language, the culture it defines and serves, and the fine art of complaint.
Throughout history, Jews around the world have had plenty of reasons to lament. And for a thousand years, they've had the perfect language for it. Rich in color, expressiveness, and complexity, Yiddish has proven incredibly useful and durable. Its wonderful phrases and idioms impeccably reflect the mind-set that has enabled the Jews of Europe to survive a millennium of unrelenting persecution … and enables them to kvetch about it!
Michael Wex—professor, scholar, translator, novelist, and performer—takes a serious yet unceasingly fun and funny look at this remarkable kvetch-full tongue that has both shaped and has been shaped by those who speak it. Featuring chapters on curse words, food, sex, and even death, he allows his lively wit and scholarship to roam freely from Sholem Aleichem to Chaucer to Elvis.
Perhaps only a khokhem be-layle (a fool, literally a "sage at night," when there's no one around to see) would care to pass up this endearing and enriching treasure trove of linguistics, sociology, history, and folklore—an intriguing appreciation of a unique and enduring language and an equally fascinating culture.
