Hey-up Doc!
In the recent general election, the National Health Service was a keenly debated issue. In particular the trend for overseas doctors working in the UK and their language ability.
In this week's post, guest blogger Ros writes about a recent trial of our new English for Medical Professionals course, which she delivered to a group of doctors in the Nottingham University Hospitals NHS Trust.
London's green places
London is famous, of course, for the variety of its cultural life. But people often forget about another aspect of the city: its parks and green spaces.
An incredible 47 per cent of London is "green" and it has eight million trees, making it the world's largest urban forest. In the City of London – the square mile of the old financial district - there are no less than 400 green areas, while there are over 1,000 across the whole of the city.
Slow down!
This week, guest blogger Robert Nurden looks at whether or not English people really 'speak so fast.' Many students say: "English people speak so fast. I can never understand them." In fact, English is one of the slowest languages. On average, native speakers use 150 syllables a minute. But Spanish people go along at an amazing 300 syllables a minute. Japanese is another fast language. Mandarin is probably the slowest.
We 'wish' you a Merry Christmas
As it's nearly Christmas, we thought we'd give you a grammar gift - the basic uses of 'wish'! Wish is a word you will hear a lot at this time of year as people want to offer other people positive feelings for the festive season.

Trippy Chevrons
my Warm and Cool quilt, but these bright squares on the linen background feels like perfection to me!
And I'm sure there are many other possibilities with this block as well. A single diagonal line of these blocks across a quilt would be cool. Or maybe some sort of giant asterisk pattern made of out of Scrappy Trip Along blocks? But I liked my chevrons too much to bother trying either of those layouts. : )
Of course, I didn't have enough yarn-dyed linen for my new plan, and that yarn-dyed Essex is not so easy to get ahold of these days! Most shops seem to be sold out of it. Fortunately, Amanda of A Crafty Fox has it in her Etsy store, Westwood Acres (for the listing, click here). The project had to be put on hold while I waited for it to arrive, but it came in yesterday's mail, so I'm hoping to get back to this one ASAP! I have other things I really should be doing more than this. Oh, well. Trippy chevrons, here I come!

My favorite take on this scrappy trip a-long quilt thing so far! I've enjoyed checking out all the quilts people have made with their blocks, but the scrapiness of them overwhelms me a bit!

Hello. So if I read this correctly, you only get one half block out of the full blocks that you cut on the diagonal? Are you keeping those smaller halves for another project? Thanks!

How to throw a killer garage sale
On Your Side advice to make the most money
CLEVELAND - Summer is always a good time to clear out your house and make some money in the process. Garage sales are constantly popping up, but how can you make your sale stands out so you can pocket the most cash?
"We organize by electronics. We organize by housewares. We organize by toys," said Gretchen Shannon from North Ridgeville, as she was standing in her garage. She has been participating in her neighborhood garage sales for years now. "There are more champagne glasses. We have a bread maker," she continued while pointing out the merchandise.
Shannon tried to make the most out of her space - which is one of the tips Money Talks News gives for having a killer garage sale. You'll want to clear out the garage and set up tables with room to walk. If you display things outside of the garage Shannon made a suggestion. "You need to make sure you can pull everything in if it does rain because you don't want your stuff to get wet. No one's going to buy it if it gets wet," she added.
RELATED: Consumer Alert: What not to buy at garage sales
Shoppers like Carla Yates and Kayla Smith told us they'll stop the car when they see a clean and nicely laid out sale. Plus, it saves time when groups of homes get in on the act. "You can drive down the street and there's multiple different ones you can stop at as opposed to driving 10 miles looking for one," explained Smith.
Shannon said that's a key to generating more cash. "It is nice that our development does it together, so it draws all the people in," Shannon told us. "So, that's why I think we make the most with everyone coming in the development," Shannon added.
Another important tip is to make sure everything has a price tag on it. Most shoppers prefer at least a starting-off point. "I'm probably more like it if it's labeled," said shopper Dawn Skvor from Oberlin. "It's easier to figure out what I'm going to get and what not," added Skvor.
To help customers get what they want, have plenty of bags on hand. "You give them bags so they can carry it because everyone is walking through the development going to other houses," said Shannon.
Another way to score with customers, on hot days sell cold drinks, especially after the buyers have been walking around all day. Throw in some snacks as well because you'll do great especially around lunchtime. "I do like when they sell hot dogs and pop and you can have a little lunch, too. That's nice," said Yates.
Rachelle Chireallo has also been doing that neighborhood's garage sales for years. "Make things visible. Put things out in the driveway. And advertise, advertise, advertise," she suggested. Advertising on the street, newspapers, the web and social media will definitely help you keep the money moving. It helped Shannon. "Wednesday we made like $300 which is pretty good," she said with a smile.
Money Talks News also suggested that you don't be a stalker when customers come to your sale. People will be more comfortable if you let them roam freely. Just say a nice "hello" and let them know you're available to answer any questions.

To continue our look at the list of Kickstarted video game projects people are still eagerly waiting to see released we turn our attention to Hyper Light Drifter developed by Heart-Machine studio. This pixel-art action adventure game inspired by some of the iconic imagery from Hayao Miyazaki's epic masterpiece Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind.
Heart-Machine, managed to gather so much support for their game that they destroyed the original goal of $27,000 by acquiring over $645,000 from over 24,000 backers.
While the studios original goal of having the game completed by mid-2014 may have seemed overly ambitious, that expectation was set before the studio acquired more than half a million dollars in funding. With those additional funds the opportunity to create new features and add to the experience they initially advertised became a reality.
Despite their monetary success, Heart-Machine is moving further away from their initial end goal and closer to the one year mark, so we decided to check in with Director and Lead Artist Alex Preston to see how development was going.
For many of the backers the most pressing question seems to be how development has been progressing, "Wonderfully. As in any production, there are speed bumps, lessons to learn and simple times where we get stuck, but in general we've been keeping a steady and productive pace," explained Preseton.
Heart-Machine has been maintaining a development-log which has seen one or two updates a month since February of this year. When asked what the massive amounts of extra funding would mean for the young studio and Hyper Light Drifter, Preston responded, "It means we have stability for longer than most tiny developer startups are given, which is a major boon for us. It allows us a level of comfort mentally that helps us focus on our most important task; developing the game."
The small five man studio certainly has plenty of work ahead for their planned release on PC, MAC, Linux, Steam, PS4, Vita, Wii-U, and the OUYA. Hopefully for the thousands of patient backers that release will come soon, and the extraordinary amount of extra funds will visible in a polished and well-constructed final product.

Arizona State held Vanderbilt's two high-scoring senior guards to two field goals in the first half, as the Sun Devils shot a season-high 62 percent and won their first NCAA Tournament game in five years, defeating the Commodores, 69-61, in the Notre Dame Region's first round at Toledo Saturday.
The ninth-seeded Sun Devils (23-9) will face undefeated Notre Dame in the second round at 3:30 p.m. PT Monday night, while the Commodores (18-13) end their season having lost 10 of their final 12 matches.
Katie Hempen led ASU with 16 points on 6-of-8 shooting, Sophie Brunner scored 14 with nine rebounds, Elisha Davis scored 11 and dished five assists, Promise Amukamara had 10 points, and Kelsey Moos grabbed eight boards, while the bench outscored the Commodores' 38-10.
Although she finished with 16 points, the SEC's leading scorer, Christina Foggie (19 ppg) shot 4-of-11, and Jasmine Lister (14 ppg) was limited to nine points on 3-of-8 shooting.
"A huge part of our game plan was to limit their looks and touches," ASU coach Charli Turner Thorne said of the two guards. "Promise came out in the first half and really did a great job on her (Foggie). This team hasn't been that consistent with our defense, so that was a huge victory for us today."
A 10-2 run gave ASU an early 18-8 lead, and Foggie was held scoreless for the first 12 minutes. Vanderbilt came storming back, as Marqu'es Webb, who had a game-high 18 points, scored in the post to tie it at 20-20, and Morgan Batey gave the Commodores a two-point lead on the next possession.
Hempen, who was four-of-four from long range in the first half, made consecutive shots from the same spot in the corner to put ASU back on top, 26-22. Elisha Davis pushed the lead back to six on a jumper, Foggie scored her only field goal of the first half, and Davis found the bottom of the basket on a floater at the buzzer to give her team a 30-24 advantage at halftime.
"It felt great," the 5-foot-3 sophomore Davis said of her first NCAA game. "Yesterday I was saying I was nervous, but not a bad nervous, whatever my coaches and my teammates need me to do, that's what I do."
Vanderbilt 's Kristen Gaffney knotted it again at 32-32, and Deja Mann answered right back with a three as the shot clock expired. Another Mann three increased the lead to 40-34 with 12 and a half minutes left.
Webb cut the lead to three from the line. After Hempen scored on a jumper, Foggie drained a three from the corner that had been so lucrative to Hempen in the first half, to pull the Commodores within two. The Sun Devils would never lose their footing again, keeping a commanding lead until the final horn sounded.
"It was a tough game," Vanderbilt coach Melanie Balcomb said. "Arizona State really came out aggressive, that's what they do. They took away a lot of our runs, by the time we adjusted to that and slowed down, we had trouble making layups and free throws."

The Cadet Unit is assigned to the operations division of the police department. Cadets take an active role by participating in police ride-alongs, traffic patrols, records management, and crime prevention. Cadets also conduct tours of the police department and provide security for community events with department personnel at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, Teddy Bear Parade, Police Activities League Sports Camp, and the Oregon Law Enforcement Challenge as well as many other one-time and reoccurring events.Police Cadets are very interested in working with their community. If there is an event that the cadets might be able to help with please contact us at email@example.com or call 503-618-2318.
The application and recruitment process for the Gresham Police Cadet Unit is currently open and continuous. To be considered for a position as a cadet, an applicant must complete and submit a police cadet application. Download an application or you may obtain one at the Gresham Police Department Records Division. The selection process involves an oral interview, police background check, and an executive interview with a member of the cadet unit's police advisor staff. The number of cadets selected each year varies depending on the availability of existing positions.
To apply, you must:
We encourage all interested young men and women to apply. If you have any questions, please contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Going on a ride-along is one of the best ways for cadets to learn about law enforcement. As the cadets observe and assist their host officers, they learn how to operate the radios, write reports, and do all the other things that police officers do. Once the cadets have the necessary knowledge, they can use the radios, in-car computers and fill out forms and reports during their rides.
Cadets provide crowd and traffic control for community events. They also conduct crowd and traffic control at major crime scenes, traffic accidents and disaster sites. Cadets have previously helped the S.W.A.T. team by assisting with crowd control during a callout.
The Records Division of the Gresham Police Department is where all of the reports and citations are recorded and filed. Our cadets help out by sorting files and updating labels.
The cadets routinely work with young people at events such as the Police Activities League Sports Camp, and at crime prevention events such as National Night Out.
Members of the unit give tours of the department to various groups, including Cub Scouts, Boys Scouts, Girl Scouts, and classes from area schools. Tours can be scheduled by contacting the unit at email@example.com or 503-618-2318.
The Gresham Police Cadets provide security for community events, both inside and outside the city. In the past, they have helped with security at the Mt. Hood Jazz Festival, the Gresham Farmers' Market, the Tigard Festival of Balloons, and the Mt. Angel Oktoberfest.

Has anyone ever been able to use a SAS data set as a data source for Business Objects?
I am a long time user of SAS (6 years) and a short time user of Business Objects (3 years), and the answer to your question is no, you cannot directly access a SAS data set as a data source to Business Objects. The reason is that Business Objects, through the Designer tool, makes a connection via ODBC to its data. Thus, if you can create an ODBC connection on your server to the data, then Business Objects can tag along and life is good. A SAS data set, for all practical purposes, is a flat file that is not ODBC accessible. In my deployment, we like SAS and we like Business Objects, so we upload our SAS data to an ODBC-compliant database and then "plug and play", (plugging, in a round about way that is).
You can connect to SAS datasets via Data Federator. Data Federator can connect to SAS/Share server v9.1.3 and higher using a JDBC driver.
You can then create a universe from the Data Federator virtual table and use any BOBJ reporting tool from this.
Hope that this helps
kind regards,
I've connected to a SAS datastore in Business Objects Data Services, and it's straightforward.
What you need is to set SAS up as an ODBC server.
This can be done in 2 ways:
- Using the SAS/SHARE product on any server that is accessible from BOBJ. This is quite pricey, so maybe you should only consider this if you have a SAS/SHARE license already, or your project can pay for it.
- Using an ordinary running SAS session on the same server.
You also need to install an ODBC driver on your BOBJ server, in order to access your SAS ODBC server.
You can read about SAS ODBC on SAS Institutes website. Start here:

Nokia surrenders to Flickr and Facebook, stops Ovi Share development
Launched back in February 2008, Ovi Share is Nokia's own photo and video sharing website, which competes with the likes of Facebook and Flickr (owned by Yahoo).
However, it looks like the whole project isn't profitable for the Finnish giant.
According to Reuters, Nokia will stop developing (and investing in) the Ovi Share service. This is in line with Nokia's plans to reduce investments in its entire Services department.
Still, current users of Ovi Share will be able to use it from now on too, as the service "is planned to be maintained in its current state."
Nokia didn't say how many people are using Ovi Share, but analysts believe the service is way behind Facebook and Flickr when it comes to popularity.

Dr Young is pleased with the turnout for her travelling fluoride medicine show. It's her biggest crowd ever!
Thanks to former Queensland premier Anna Bligh reckless borrowing Queensland has gone from having low debt to having the highest of all the Australian states.
Current Queensland premier Campbell Newman is making expenditure cuts wherever he can no matter how small.
What's left of the Queensland Australian Labor Party (ALP) is crying foul while ignoring the fact that it is their fault Queensland is in the dire straits it's in now.
Another thing that Anna inflicted on Queensland apart from a massive and pointless debt (something the ALP sees as an achievement!) was the introduction of fluoride to Queensland's water supply.
The ball is now in Campbell Newman's court on this one if he wants to make a realistically beneficial budget cut.
If Campbell Newman is seriously looking for areas he can cut back on expenditure he could save quite a few million dollars by cutting the fluoride from Queensland's water supply.
Fluoride is supposedly good for our teeth, so good that it is actually put into the water supply of some countries.
Too bad if it's technically uncontrolled mass medication and with something that is the by-product of industry as opposed to something that is naturally occurring.
Too bad if you have kidney problems which fluoride will make worse.
Too bad if you are prone to Alzheimer's which fluoride will make worse.
Too bad if it hasn't been approved as a safe additive except by the government itself.
It's good for your teeth regardless of how it is for you in general. No one will notice your ill health because your teeth will look good.
Well apparently they will. You still have to brush and with toothpaste that has fluoride in it. And the fluoride from brushing usually goes on your teeth as opposed to straight down your throat.
Despite all this supposedly wonderful fluoride in the water Australia apparently desperately needs a national dental health plan.
Former Queensland premier Anna Bligh's chief medical officer Dr Jeanette Young supported water fluoridisation. The dose is uncontrolled but she implored us to look into the benefits. You could almost picture her in the past selling patent medicines.
"Roll up, roll up everybody! Buy a bottle of my patent industrial waste fluoride! It will get your teeth nice and shiny. Don't you folks worry about them nasty things you hear about it, your teeth will be as good as new and will look wonderful while you're sick with any of the illnesses it can cause!"
Any doctor who prescribes uncontrolled doses of something for people they haven't examined and whose medical history they don't know is right away someone who can't be trusted.
Likewise for any government that takes that doctors' advice and puts what is really industrial waste in our water.
It's time water fluoridisation stopped.
FIA www.dianabuckland.webs.com
MCS Global www.mcsglobalawareness.com
"Further, the prestigious National Research Council's (NRC) 2006 fluoride report revealed that fluoride, even in low doses, can harm the thyroid gland, kidney patients, babies and high water drinkers." "We have served as guinea pigs in this ongoing and failed experiment for far too long. In my position as Alderman, it is my duty to promote the health, safety and welfare of all our residents. Adding fluoride chemicals into our public water supply runs counter to this and therefore needs to end."
End Fluoride Milwaukee
Water fluoridation is not safe and not effective, end of story (as the dental crises in all long time fluoridated cities will attest). The population have been lab rats for decades and this must be stopped urgently, permanently and irrevocably for all time for the protection of the long term health and safety of the population and our environment. The drinking water supplies of the population were not meant to be hazardous waste disposal areas nor are the kidneys of the population meant to be hazardous waste disposal/filtration units. It must be stopped.

It is pretty safe to say that, at some point in time, every person who has ever dated has been in a relationship where games were played and boundaries were experimented with. Whether victim or prey, most people have had bad relationship experiences because of this.
Hobbs, of Midland, speculates that most game playing goes on in relationships that lack trust. She says that some people may do it to "test their limits" and "see how far they can push [their partner] before they crack". Hobbs thinks some people may play games out of insecurity. For her, these games are not simply a part of immature relationships; she reveals that issues with trust and game playing have made past relationships "toxic", and eventually those relationships diminished.
Hopefully, every time people enter into a relationship they do it with good intentions. Unfortunately relationships fail all to often because one or both parties decide to play games with their partner. It is time to put an end to playing games with people's minds. If someone decides they want to be in a relationship, it is their responsibility to keep the gates of communication open so that any insecurities can be discussed and no one will feel the need to see just how far they can push their partner. The effort it takes to plot and master a good game of the mind far outweighs the ease of a conversation for a couple.

Heavy metal music, current era costuming, and no formal set best describe The Barn Players newest production, "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson," a two act musical based on the life of Andrew Jackson and his rise to power in a young nation.
Because inclement weather caused the cancellation of a Sunday matinee on opening weekend, an additional performance was announced March 11to be on Thursday, March 13. All tickets for that show are $12, with a curtain time of 7:30, Pat Paton, public relations director said.
The Barn Players present the controversial rock musical, "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson," Feb. 28-March 16 at their theater in Mission, KS as the premier show of their 59th consecutive season.
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson," an award winning rock musical brings to the forefront the main character and the issue of his appropriate place in American history. Was he wonderful or was he a scallywag? Was he a hero or was he a dictator? How should he be remembered as his Populist party grew into favor and later fell into disillusionment?
"Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson,' a mix of reality and fiction with an infectious rock music score, recreates and reinvents the life of our seventh President, Andrew Jackson, known as 'Old Hickory,' who was termed America's first political maverick," a spokesman from The Barn Players said.
"Jackson's humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as President of the United States, his political problems, problems with the American Indians, and his relationship with his wife Rachel - all play into the political landscape of the show."
As Andrew Jackson, Matt Pierce delivered a strong performance and an empowered stage presence. His voice, strong and clear, belted out the musical score with determination and attitude. He definitely gave the strongest performance in the show.
Next, Beth Benedict, as Rachael, Jackson's wife gave the second strongest performance, even though her stage time was limited. She played Jackson's long suffering wife. She possesses great vocal skills and knows how to perform a strong but vulnerable character.
For comedy relief Fran Kapono serves as a narrator and "tour guide" for the life story. She's funny from the moment she hits the stage with touches of Saturday Night Live's Church Lady overtones.
The show is fun to watch, but definitely not for young children due to strong language. The show leave open the question of whether Jackson should be remembered as a hero or a murderer.
The choreography for "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson" is good and appropriate for the small stage. The direction and staging of the musical is great as well. The one weakness is the lack of a set. It's hard to understand where the on stage scenes take place with only the band as the functioning set. A set would help the audience follow the story better.
Still, "Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson" deserves a look. It gives a good history lesson into the life, social revolution and problems faced at an earlier time. Amazingly, the problems faced then mirror some of the problems currently facing the United States. In this case art imitates life.
The cast features the talents of: Matt Pierce, Beth Benedict, Fran Kapono, Kristen Altoro, Wil Andrews-Weiss, Sarah Bodle, Andrew Brown, Anne Haines, Gabe Lasley, Jake Leet, Katie Pugh, Brian Shortess, Tracy Van Unen, James Wearing, and Alyssa Winters.
"Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson" will be directed and choreographed by Guy Gardner, from a book written by Alex Timbers and music/lyrics from Michael Friedman. James Levy serves as musical director for the show.
Times are as follows: Friday evenings Feb. 28, March 7 and 14 at 7:30p.m.; Saturday evenings March 1, March 8 and March 15 at 7:30p.m.; and Sunday matinees March 2, March 9 and March 16 at 2p.m.

Deja Vu All Over Again: Munger Tolles Again Tops the 'A-List'
Granted, it's not like most law students or unemployed lawyers can just call up the law firm of their choice and demand a job.
Still, if you could, you should make your first call to Munger, Tolles & Olson, at least according to the American Lawyer's 2010 "A-List," which was unveiled Thursday morning. For the third year running, Munger Tolles topped the magazine's list of "most successful" law firms, as defined by the magazine.
What we wrote last year about the A-List still holds:
Since 2003, the American Lawyer magazine has published what it calls the "A-List," in an attempt to, in its own words, "measure and quantify the qualities that define an elite law firm, making an effort to look beyond profits." The A-List looks at four factors — revenue per lawyer, commitment to pro bono, diversity among lawyers, and associate training and satisfaction — swirls them all up in a formula, and spits out a numeric score.
AmLaw reporter Amy Kolz breaks down what made the year so good for Munger Tolles. Perhaps most impressive, in our minds:
Munger also increased its associate satisfaction score by almost 6 percent, to 186, a feat [managing parnter Sandra] Seville-Jones partly attributes to the fact that the firm didn't have layoffs or cut associate salaries—as well as to Munger's relatively flat structure: The firm has close to a 1:1 associate/partner ratio and a "free-market" system of staffing.
Rounding out the top 20: 2) Hughes Hubbard; 3) Debevoise; 4) Davis Polk; 5) WilmerHale; 6) Paul Weiss; 7) Gibson Dunn; 8) Skadden; 9) Cleary Gottleib; 10) Paul Hastings; 11) Weil Gotshal; 12) Milbank Tweed; 13) Latham; 14) Covington; 15) MoFo; 16) Simpson Thacher; 17) Arnold & Porter; 17) O'Melveny (tie); 19) Finnegan; 20) Orrick.
Congrats to Paul Hastings, Finnegan, Skadden and Simpson Thacher, none of which were on the list last year. Condolences to Sullivan & Cromwell, Kirkland & Ellis, Howery, and Irell & Manella, which fell from the list.

TUCSON ?C The University of Arizona football team held its second practice of its 2007 Fall Camp on Friday night at the Rincon Vista Complex. Once again, players worked out in only practice shirts and shorts along with their helmets.
For a second day in a row, very pleasant conditions welcomed the Wildcats for a 5:30 p.m. start. The team again worked through its basic drills, including individual, group, team and special teams segments.
One obvious difference between Thursdayˇ?s practice and Fridayˇ?s was the rhythm the offense seemed to find throughout the evening, especially during the 7-on-7 passing session. Willie Tuitama again took the majority of the snaps, and spread the ball around nicely to his receivers.
After connecting on just two of his first five attempts, Tuitama and the offense began to click following a five yard reception by Terrell Reese. The next play was a 20-yard throw and catch to Anthony Johnson.
Tuitama then hit his next four receivers for gains of 4, 10, 8 and 5 yards. After back-to-back incompletions, the highlight of the session came when he connected with Anthony Johnson on a skinny post route between defensive backs for a 30-yard gain, which surely would have gone for a touchdown if the play continued.
On his next three attempts, Tuitama found Rob Gronkowski for a gain of 12 yards, Delashaun Dean for eight yards, and Reese for 10 more yards.
Tyler Lyon then stepped in for his first action of camp, as he completed six of 10 attempts. His longest completion of the night was a 10-yarder to Dean, who hauled in his third grab of the session.
In 11-on-11 action, Tuitama quickly established a favorite target in senior wide receiver Anthony Johnson. The San Diego native caught two five-yard passes over the middle in between defenders in the first four plays. Tuitama then opened things up a bit, as he layed a perfect pop pass in to tight end Travis Bell for 15 yards over the middle, which could have gone for more, but the whistle was blown dead and no tackling was allowed.
The offense then looked for the short game, as Chris Jennings rushed for no gain, hauled in a two-yard completion, and then was dropped for a four-yard loss on a screen pass as Dane Krogstad knifed through to brake up the play.
Later in the drill, the offense began to find more rhythm. Mike Thomas caught a 15-yard pass from Tuitama, before Jennings scampered for 10+ yards on a perfectly executed screen play.
Fall Camp Schedule Update: Tomorrowˇ?s practice will be CLOSED to the public and media. The practice, originally slated for 5:45 p.m. has been moved up to a morning workout. Consequently, the teamˇ?s Media Day activities have been moved from the morning to the afternoon. Media Day will now be held from 1-3 p.m. in McKale Center.
Day 2 Notes and Highlights:
- True freshman defensive end?Ron Jackson?suffered a hip injury during practice that required medical attention. Coach Mike Stoops confirmed the injury after practice, but he did not immediately know the extent of the injury.
- During 7-on-7 drills, 10 different Wildcats hauled in passes from UA quarterbacks. Leading the way was Anthony Johnson, who caught three passes, including one for 20-yards and another for 30-yards. The latter would have gone for a touchdown if the play were allowed to continue.
- Redshirt freshmen wide receivers Delashaun Dean and Terrell Reese also caught three passes apiece, including a 10-yarder for each.
- Preseason All-American Antoine Cason broke up Tuitamaˇ?s first pass attempt during 7-on-7 drills. Fellow CB Marquis Hundley also recorded a PBU during the session.
- During 11-on-11 action, the team ran 26 passing plays against six rushing plays. It should be noted, however, that much of the teamˇ?s rush defense and rush offense work is implemented during the middle drill segment.
- Eight different players caught passes during the team segment, led by Chris Jennings with four catches. Travis Bell had the longest reception, a 15-yarder down the middle that could have gone farther if the play was not blown dead.
- Dane Krogstad recorded what would have been a tackle for loss after he read read perfectly a screen pass to Jennings.
- Marquis Hundley recorded a pass breakup during the team period, as did safety Nate Ness.
- Up front, Jason Parker batted down a Tyler Lyon pass and Josh Lewis knocked down another, while the defensive unit also recorded a coverage sack against Willie Tuitama and the offense.
- Former Arizona Associate Athletics Director Chris Del Conte, who is currently the Athletics Director at Rice University, paid a visit to practice to visit with old friends from the athletic department, including head coach Mike Stoops.
Day 2 Quotes:
Head Coach Mike Stoops
"I thought it was another really good day for us. I think today was our best day offensively that we have had all along going back to spring practice. Weˇ?re finding some space and keeping the defense off balance."
"I thought Tyler Lyon did some really good things out there today."
On the running back situation:
"Chris Jennings is our No. 1 guy right now and Xavier Smith is No. 2. We are kind of feeling our way through with guys from there."
"Chris (Jennings) has played really well. Heˇ?s really focused right now. He has slimmed down some since last year and is quicker and more explosive."
Defensive coordinator Mark Stoops:
"I feel like we have a veteran group on defense. We just canˇ?t get ahead of ourselves. We have to keep getting better. That sounds like a clich??, but itˇ?s really not; itˇ?s the truth."
Wide receiver Mike Thomas:
On the new offense:
"Itˇ?s been good. There is a big change from spring until now. We have more intensity and we are playing faster. We have some more swagger out there on the field."
Cornerback Antoine Cason
"You have got to love the competition out here. Itˇ?s the only way to get better, Guys are fighting and working hard."
On the new offense and how it is helping prepare the defense for teamˇ?s like BYU:
"We need them (the offense) to thrown the ball to have the secondary and linebackers get used to this offense."

Advocate staff photo by BRYAN TUCK -- Construction of a food court area in the student union at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette is underway Tuesday. Members of the media were given a tour of the progress by the contractor. by Seth Dickerson| Special to The Advocate Aug. 19, 2014; 5:57 p.m. Comments LAFAYETTE — Construction workers buzzed around the University of Louisiana at Lafayette's student union Tuesday morning as the structure edges closer to completion. Scheduled for a November opening, the UL-Lafayette Student Union will become a hot spot for students to meet, eat and study. "The Student Union will again be the heartbeat of campus, an area that students and employees will gravitate to," Joey Pons, UL-Lafayette's director of public safety and risk management, said in written statement. The 178,000-square-foot compound dwarfs the former student union, which was about 55,000 square feet smaller. "Once you walk it, you'll know how big it is. It's big," said Bill Crist, the university's physical plant director. Construction of the new building and renovations of some older facilities started in November 2012, with the union scheduled to be complete by the end of 2014. The union will provide both meeting spaces and offices for student groups. The university's Student Government Association will call home a large space on the first floor, where windows spill natural light onto the burgundy carpets. Above the offices and meeting spaces will be the union's cafeteria, which Crist said will be able to hold about 600 people at a time. Along with the smaller dining area downstairs, all food services will be provided by Sodexo, which offers the majority of eating options on campus. The dining hall, which encompasses most of the union's second floor, will overlook the university on three sides, giving diners a view of Cypress Lake, the residence hall's Rose Garden and Hebrard Boulevard. Once students move into their new offices in the Student Union, the three halls between the union and Hebrard Boulevard — Guillory, Lafayette and Vermilion halls — will be knocked down. Guillory houses the cafeteria. Lafayette and Vermilion house SGA, the University Program Council and other organizations as well as the cashier's office. All three buildings have fallen out of repair. Crist said the cafeteria will be the last to move, but once the offices are done, construction crews can begin tearing down Lafayette and Vermilion halls. "It's going to be a beautiful view once we tear these three buildings down," he said. Behind the dining hall and across from the kitchen will be the "1898 Room," a private dining room named for the year the university was founded. The dining room overlooks the rose garden and commons between Bonin and Coronna halls. Farther down will be Café de Lafayette, another dining room that could be used to privately feed athletic teams or other groups. An elevator will be installed to provide direct access from the first floor. There also will be a post office, a renovated student theater, a coffee shop and a grassy courtyard overlooking the campus' iconic swamp. The courtyard takes the place of the former union's foyer and Canebrake Café. The only remaining pieces of the former student union are its left and right wings, which housed the university bookstore and theater, known as Bayou Bijou. Both wings are in the process of being stripped bare and renovated. The $39 million project, which includes the renovations and construction of the new student union, was funded by student fees — the first, a $55 per semester fee approved by students in 2002, and the second, a $20 fee approved in 2005.

Numerous scientists, astrologists, physicists, cosmologists and others, have long known of the huge number of facts which prove without doubt that the earth could not have been in existence more than a few thousand years. Yet they sweep that under the rug and spend years and millions of dollars attempting to con people into believing that it was created from nothing, by nothing, some 14 and one half billion years ago. Most know better. And, they better keep quiet if they want to remain in good standing within their profession. Such is criminal and should be treated as such.
Let us, again, go through a few of the numerous things which prove the above claim, and we can refer you to others also. Here are three remarks by men who acknowledge the scam.
"Our theory of evolution has become . . one which cannot be refuted by any possible observations. Every conceivable observation can be fitted into it . . No one can think of ways in which to test it. Ideas, either without basis or based on a few laboratory experiments carried out in extremely simplified systems, have attained currency far beyond their validity. They have become part of an evolutionary dogma accepted by most of us as part of our training." (L. C. Birch and P. Ehrlich, Nature, April 22, 1967).
"I argue that the 'theory of evolution' does not take predictions, so far as ecology is concerned, but is instead a logical formula which can be used only to classify empiricisms [theories] and to show the relationships which such a classification implies . . these theories are actually tautologies and, as such, cannot make empirically testable predictions. They are not scientific theories at all." (R. H. Peters, "Tautology to Evolution and Ecology," American Naturalist, Vol. 110, No. 1, p. 1.)
Note quotes below by: "Robert Jastrow (September 7, 1925 – February 8, 2008) was an American astronomer, physicist and cosmologist. He was a leading NASA scientist, populist author and futurist." (Wikipedia)
"Scientists have no proof that life was not the result of an act of creation." —*Robert Jastrow, The Enchanted Loom: Mind In the Universe (1981), p. 19.
In an interview with Christianity Today, Jastrow said "Astronomers now find they have painted themselves into a corner because they have proven, by their own methods, that the world began abruptly in an act of creation to which you can trace the seeds of every star, every planet, very living thing in this cosmos and on the earth. And they have found that all this happened as a product of forces they cannot hope to discover. That there are what I or anyone would call supernatural forces at work is now, I think, a scientifically proven fact."
("A Scientist Caught Between Two Faiths: Interview With Robert Jastrow," Christianity Today, August 6, 1982)
Those men knew what you are about to read below and much more which prove that the cosmos cannot be billions of years old. Those who propone the "Big Bang" and natural evolution have to do so to try and prove naturalistic evolution...which can't be done. But those numerous years which they have tacked on to the approximately 10,000 actual years are necessary to camouflage their other explanations of evolution. Their theories (which are not theories, but simply wild assumptions) would have taken a lot more than the billions of years they have now set and still could not have possibly occurred.
How old is Planet Earth? This is an important question, for even though long ages of time are not a proof of evolution, yet without the long ages evolution could not occur (if it were possible for it to occur at all).
Actually, there are many facts which prove the world is young. We will explain a few of them:
There is proof in the stars themselves. Read this carefully. There are numerous star clusters in the universe. Such a "cluster" is a circular ball made up of billions of stars, each has its own orbit.
"Because the orbits are elliptical, they have a tendency to be interlocking. An extremely large circular star cluster, with similar stellar orbits within it is found at the center of each saucer-shaped island universe. Evidence indicates that each of these giant packs of stars is moving in a certain direction. Science tells us that some of these clusters—with their stars—are moving so rapidly that it should be impossible for them to remain together if the universe were, very old." (Evolution Encyclopedia Vol., Chapter 6: The Age Of The Earth)
"Some stars are so enormous in diameter that it is thought that they could not have existed for even a few million years, otherwise their initial larger mass would have been impossibly large. These massive stars radiate energy very rapidly—some as much as 100,000 to 1 million times more rapidly than our own sun. On the hydrogen basis of stellar energy, they could not have contained enough hydrogen to radiate at such fast rates for long ages, because their initial mass would have had to be far too gigantic." (Ibid)
"Some stars are radiating energy so intensely that they could not possibly have survived for a long period of time. This includes the very bright 0 and B class stars, the Wolf-Rayert stars, and the P Cygni stars. Radiation levels of 100,000 to 1 million times as much as our own sun is emitted by these stars! Yet, by the standard solar energy theory, they do not contain enough hydrogen to perpetuate atomic fusion longer than approximately 50,000 to 300,000 years." (Ibid)
There are other facts involving the stars which show the universe could not be very old at all. But let us move on to other proofs.
Fred Hoyle, a famous English astronomer who lived from 1915 to 2001 and was noted primarily for his contribution to the theory of stellar nucleosynthesis. One of his most famous and repeated quotes was: "The chance that higher life forms might have emerged in this way is comparable to the chance that a tornado sweeping through a junkyard might assemble a Boeing 747 from the materials therein" Hoyle was not a believer in life having been by God, but rather he ventured the opinion that it may have been brought here from some pre-existing life in outer space. A foolish stand since that answers nothing. It would have had to begin some place.
He based his assumption on the fact that he had said before, "Life as we know it is, among other things, dependent on at least 2000 different enzymes. How could the blind forces of the primal sea manage to put together the correct chemical elements to build enzymes?".
Fred Hoyle, also claimed that the universe cannot be as old as Big Bang theorists contend, since there would be little hydrogen in it. It would all have been transformed into helium by now because hydrogen is constantly being turned into helium as stars shine. Yet there remains an abundance of hydrogen in the stars, proof that the universe cannot be very old.
There is even adequate proof within our own solar system to prove the universe is young. Most scientists who are engaged in the field of astronomy claim that our sun is gradually shrinking at a steady rate of seconds of arc per century. At its rate of shrinkage, as little as 50,000 years ago the sun would have been so large that our oceans would boil. But in far less a time than 50,000 years life here would have ceased to exist, for recent studies have disclosed that neither the size of the sun, nor our distance from it, could be much greater or smaller—for life to be sustained on our planet.
"Since 1836, over one hundred different observers at the Royal Greenwich Observatory and the U.S. Naval Observatory have made direct, visual measurements that indicate that the sun's diameter is shrinking at a rate of about. 1 percent each century or about five feet per hour! Furthermore, records of solar eclipses indicate that this rapid shrinking has been going on for at least the past 400 years. Several indirect techniques also confirm that the sun is shrinking, although these inferred collapse rates are only about 1/7th as much." (W. T. Brown, In the Beginning, p 19.)
"If the sun had formed as is assumed by most scientists today, nuclear fusion could never have become its energy source. Evidence from the solar neutrino experiment, global solar oscillations, and measured solar shrinkage all are strong evidence against the existence of nuclear fusion in the sun. Any alternate energy source necessarily means a shorter maximum lifetime." (Paul M. Steidl, "Solar Neutrinos and a Young Sun" in Creation Research Society Quarterly, June 1980, pp. 60, 64.)
These are only a few (although one would be adequate) of the things which prove that the universe is young. In fact there are dozens more, either one of which totally refutes the billions of years of age for the universe as promoted by atheistic evolutionists. But one may as well be talking to an inanimate object. All these proofs which demolish the "Big Bang" joke, are brushed aside as if they do not exist.
"Wise men lay up knowledge: but the mouth of the foolish is near destruction." (Proverbs 10:14 KJV)

Studies have shown that children and adolescents taking antidepressants called Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors, or SSRI's, may have increased suicidal thoughts or behaviors.
Now, new research suggests high doses of these common depression drugs may double the risk of a child or adolescent harming themselves.
"When you look at the younger age group, that's the 10 to 24 year age group, what they found was that if they were on a higher than normal antidepressant dose, or a higher than average antidepressant dose, they actually had twice the risk of deliberate self-harm during that one year period," Dr. Veena Ahuja of the Cleveland Clinic said.
Researchers at the Harvard School of Public Health studied data from more than 162,000 people with depression. Subjects were between 10 to 64 years old and taking either a standard dose of SSRI antidepressants or a higher than normal dose.
They found that the rate of suicidal behavior among people 10-24 years old who started antidepressant therapy at high doses was about twice as high compared to those taking average doses. While adults between the ages of 25 and 64 that were prescribed high dose antidepressants, had no higher risk in suicidal behavior.
They also found that most of the deliberate self-harm by children and adolescents happened within the first three months of treatment.
Dr. Ahuja says kids need to be monitored carefully on these medications - especially early on.
"Whenever you're starting a new medication we obviously want to watch these kids very closely especially watching them closely in the first three months," Dr. Ahuja said.
Complete results for the study 'High doses of antidepressants appear to increase risk of self-harm in children, young adults' can be found in 'Jama Internal Medicine'.

One Direction Won't Get Out Of Control Says Simon Cowell
Simon Cowell has revealed that he will not let Harry, Niall, Liam Louis and Zayn go off the rails.
He has admitted that he keeps a close eye on the boys, and will definitely intervene if it looks like they're going down the wrong path.
This all came after Justin Bieber began to spin out of control, and American news network Fox raised the issue.
After a string of incidents involving Justin Bieber, Cowell was talking to Fox about how he won't let the boys make similar mistakes.
He told the channel: 'If I ever thought one of our artists was being over worked or over promoted you would just have to say to them "you've made enough money, take a year off"
'You have to be sensible about it'
We don't think that 1D are in danger of doing a Justin Bieber just yet.
After all, they've not been hours late for a concert, angered neighbours and lashed out at paparazzi.
And we don't think they ever will. One Direction are wayyyy too sensible for that!
Let's just hope that Uncle Si continues to look out for them and keeps them on the straight and narrow.

Video: Queen Mary 2 Celebrates 10 Years
January 8, 2014 | By Adam Coulter | No Comments
Queen Mary 2 celebrates 10 years of service this year and to commemorate that fact, Cunard has put together a short 'infographic' video packed full of fascinating facts about the iconic liner.
QM2′s carried more than 1.3 million passengers, as well as more than 2,000 dogs (QM2 is the only ship that offers a kennel service); crossed the Atlantic more than 200 times and visited 182 ports in 60 countries. An astonishing 21.9 million cups of tea have been served onboard (enough to fill three Olympic swimming pools), and 1.25 million bottles of champagne have been drunk (this last figure surprised us – we thought it would be a lot higher!).
Check out our recently updated review of QM2. And if you have a special Queen Mary 2 memory, let us know in the comments.

OBJECTIVE: An intervention to structure patient-key worker communication has been tested in a randomized controlled trial. The aim of this paper was to investigate effectiveness of the intervention in terms of moderators of effectiveness. METHOD: A total of 507 patients with schizophrenia were included. Moderators of effectiveness were investigated using two-way anovas. RESULTS: Patients with a better relationship with their key worker and a shorter duration of illness at baseline benefited more from the intervention in terms of quality of life. Patients who received the intervention who were in competitive employment or had a shorter duration of illness showed greater reduction of unmet needs. Older patients receiving the intervention had better treatment satisfaction. CONCLUSION: Outcome of the intervention was moderated by patient characteristics. Moreover, the moderating characteristics varied depending on the specific outcome. Evidence on moderators is very limited, even though, they are significant for understanding, targeting and implementing complex interventions.

I received some hard news today, I received some hard news the past few weeks, we receive hard news, on the news every single day. Don't believe me? Turn on your T.V. to any major news channel…. Any where.
It saddens me that children get hurt every day, that young children abuse younger children, because that is the example they get from their role models. It breaks my heart that we throw food out by the 1000's of lbs and that I have literally seen an old man perish who lived in a bus stop bench area nothing left but his soiled pillow tossed in the garbage can, as if his life never existed. I used to leave food for him on occasion. Now, they are thinking to penalize people for feeding homeless without a license? To bar kindness… to perpetuate a story of un truth. When mothers and fathers criticize their children with their own stories instead of letting them follow their hearts, and support their happiness. To just love, for the sake of loving, to hold people close in a world and make them feel comforted because you can, be a hero. Choose to be wonderful, to be love.
You can put that opportunity to give and share, before even your own fear of being hurt, or unloved. You are the eternal all knowing love of all that exists on the planet, here, now, in this moment.
It's a shame when we tell ourselves stories about people. When we've experienced someone become angry because we have a life and friends in the past, and so we brand that on a pure hearted soul who simply longs for respect and connection, communication, as well as freedom and authenticity, and she is willing also to not just receive but give, of course she longs for your happiness and enjoyment, and in a situation where trust is present, that is not a problem with balance. We place these stories about people. These hazards upon ourselves, if we are to change them, we have to see them first.
Love for the sake of loving, give for the sake to give.
I thought of this today, and I could not deny it any longer, was my art good enough, is it worthy? Am I worthy of love..these questions we ask ourselves, the most common thing that perpetuates ALL of our fears, millions of us… and I realize it as it showed up, it was the food on my stove at this moment, the drink in my golden rimmed cup, no longer could I deny my art(heart) and / or the validity of it's worth.
And we can no longer deny our abilities as artists here in this world, to make a difference, to show up, to drop the pretense, and to believe in love.
There's children out on the streets at this moment, dying of starvation, scared, cold, alone, I want them to know that someone out there loves them, and would change their fate if they could, in a moment. We have the power to be loving, to make a difference here friends, if we come together that is.

WESTFIELD, Mass. – On a day that senior Jessica McCarthy could have chosen to be with her senior peers at commencement back in Orono, the member of Maine women's track and field took first in the heptathlon at the NEICAAA Outdoor Championships. McCarthy tallied three-straight first place finishes in the final three events to secure the heptathlon crown.
McCarthy entered the day ranked fourth following four events in the first day of the championships. The senior got off a great start in the first event of the day however as she took first in the long jump with a mark of 5.22m (17-01.50) and 620 points.
She then followed that up with another first-place finish in the javelin throw with a distance of 35.25m (115-08) and 576 points.
She finished the final event with her third first-place finish with a win in the 800-meter run with a time of 2:20.51 and 817 points.
Her second day score of 2,013 points combined with her first day of scoring 2796 for a first place total of 4809 points. Rhode Islands Janel Conley, who finished the first day of hepthatlon events in first, finished behind McCarthy with a score 4680, while Sacred Heart's Nicole Bartosch scored 4617 points for third.

Rwanda television host, Andrew Kareba advised musicians to give main concern to promoting their songs before accusing showbiz fraternity for their downfall.
The youth program show host on RTV revealed to Rwandashow.com while speaking on how artists spend much time blaming journalists instead of checking the root cause.
"Some artists think that when they record a song with Washington, it will be a hit automatically. Meanwhile for a song to be popular, promotion plays a big role," says Andrew Kareba.
Kareba warned that improper promotion and marketing strategies often lead to the downfall of established artists. He cited Jay Polly from Rwanda, Tanzania's TID and Mr Nice as some talented artists whose music vanished because of improper marketing.
Andrew Kareba is a radio and television personality , he started his career at radio Salus and later worked with various media houses like Chronicles, Igihe, before joining Rwanda Broadcasting Agency.

If I want to share a folder or a whole drive with people outside my network, how can i do that? Which programs should I use?
Hamachi is a zero-configuration virtual private network (VPN) application capable of establishing direct links between computers that are behind NAT firewalls without requiring reconfiguration (in most cases); in other words, it establishes a connection over the Internet that very closely emulates the connection that would exist if the computers were connected over a local area network.
You may want to look at Dropbox or SkyDrive.
They are both easy-to-use programs that will allow you to share files with multiple people.
(Not completely sure about the whole drive part, but it will definitely work on folders.)
If you will host these from your home/work machine connected to the Internet,
If you are setting this up from home where you get a dialup/broadband dynamic address (just in case),
I've been playing with bitorrent sync lately - its peer to peer (IE, it just works), encrypted, and works on the two major phone OSes, linux (x86 and arm - even my raspi), and windows. All you need to do is add the folder to share, generate the secret and add it in to the other system. And since its based on bittorrent, it should handle transferring even large files gracefully
I would recommend to create a VPN and port forward. As this won't require additional software and it's cross platform.

When your club is five games under .500 at this point in the MLB season, it's the little things that should get White Sox fans excited. And nothing should do that more than following the progression of first-round selection Carlos Rodon. The lefty recently had his first side session in front of Minor League Pitching Coordinator Kirk Champion and the Granite City native told MLB.com he likes his new southpaw:
"Just an impressive kid, makeup-wise and strong, arm strength, all the things that everybody has seen the last couple of years. He's just trying to learn, listen. He's very respectful and respects the game. A lot of attention goes with where he was taken, but the first impression is good."
Rodon was widely considered the #1 pick heading into his junior season at North Carolina State until control issues caused him to fall in the draft. Many project his big, stocky frame to continue to eat innings at the major league level and some even saw the big workload he carried in college (130+ innings) as a negative. His fastball sits in the mid-90's, but hitters will shake their heads at his put-away slider.
Next up for Rodon will be a road trip to the Arizona Rookie League. If all goes according to plan, he'll start a game there next week. When that puts him at US Cellular Field will depend upon his progression and how fast he moves through each level. Chris Sale certainly moved rapidly, but don't assume the former ACC Pitcher of the Year will be on the same track. Late 2015 appears to be a fair guess.

College Hockey:Koudys, Peterson fuel Bentley's win over Sacred Heart
WALTHAM, Mass. — Dan Koudys and Erik Peterson each scored twice, and Bentley used a three-goal second period to launch itself to a 6-2 victory over Sacred Heart on Wednesday.
With the Falcons ahead 2-0 on goals by Peterson and Jared Rickord late in the second period, Koudys scored a power-play goal that gave Bentley (2-3-1, 1-0 Atlantic Hockey) a 3-0 lead going into the third period.
David Berube scored 6:45 into the third period to give the Pioneers (0-5-1, 0-2-1) life, but Koudys scored 14 seconds later to restore the three-goal lead.

Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren the Dutch design duo famous for their outlandish and fantastical designs, will be unveiling their newest fragrance "Bonbon" at Saks Fifth Avenue this evening starting at 5:30 pm.
The designer's first fragrance "Flowerbomb" a floral orange tuberose perfume was released in 2004 to coincide with their women's Spring/Summer 2005 fashion collection also called "Flowerbomb." This oriental floral was a commercial success, being the 5th best selling perfume in 2013 (in the U.S.) according to NPD, and it is hoped that "Bonbon" will follow suit...
The name "Bonbon" seems quite appropriate for this new fragrance as it is a very fruity floral gourmand perfume opening with a buttery, sweet caramel note which then develops into notes of orange blossom, peach, jasmine, cedar, guaicwood, sandalwood and amber.
The event tonight will be held on the first floor at Saks Fifth Avenue and will feature tattoo art and a chance to meet the Dutch designers who will be on hand to sign bottles of their whimsical pink bow shaped perfume bottles.
