Contest Overview
1. What is Google Code-in?
Google Code-in (GCI) is a contest for pre-university students (e.g., high school and secondary school students) with the goal of encouraging young people to participate in open source. We work with open source organizations, each of whom will provide a list of tasks to be completed by student contestants. Tasks can be anything a project needs help with, from bug fixes to writing code to user experience research to writing documentation.
2. What are the goals of this contest?
Google Code-in is intended to help students who may have wanted to get involved in open source but didn't know where to start. By working through the tasks created by participating open source organizations, contestants will be given the opportunity to engage with the open source community and get involved. The participating open source organizations gain the benefit of additional contributions to their project, often in important areas that may get overlooked for whatever reason. It is Google's not so secret hope that the student contestants of today will be long-term contributors to these and other open source projects in the future.
- Participating open source organizations create a list of tasks and other contest information pages on www.google-melange.com.
- Students claim ownership of a particular task and submit their work for assessment according to the instructions for each task.
- Representatives from the open source organization evaluate the work submitted.
- If the work is accepted, the task is closed.
- If the work needs polishing, the task remains open and the organization representative may give the student additional time and guidance on improving their work.
- If the work does not meet expectations, the task can be reopened for another student participant to claim and work on.
4. When does the contest begin?
The contest begins at 9:00 AM Pacific Time (17:00 UTC) on November 26, 2012. Make sure that you take the time to read through the Contest Rules and familiarize yourself with the introductory information provided by a particular open source project before starting work on a task. Please have your parent or legal guardian read the Contest Rules as well as they will need to provide their consent before you can participate in the contest. Review the full Contest timeline, too.
5. What are the eligibility requirements for the contest?
The contest is open to all students who are at least thirteen (13) years of age and no older than seventeen (17) years of age on November 26, 2012. Students must be enrolled in a pre-university program, e.g. high school, secondary school, or educational institution. All contestants will need to have their parent or guardian's consent to participate and we will ask for proof of consent as well as your proof of enrollment in a pre-university program before you can claim any tasks. For full details, see the Contest Rules. Remember, by participating in the contest you are agreeing to abide by these rules, so go ahead and take a few minutes now to carefully read through them.
6. If I'm homeschooled can I participate in Google Code-in?
Yes. When you create your profile you will need to submit your signed parental consent form and proof of enrollment in a home school program (certificate, transcript, etc.). If you have questions regarding this requirement you can contact the program administrators at firstname.lastname@example.com
7. What are the prizes?
At the conclusion of the contest, contestants will receive a certificate for completing at least one task (maximum of one certificate per contestant). For completing three tasks students will receive a t-shirt (maximum one t-shirt per contestant).
Additionally, there will be twenty (20) grand prize winners - two (2) per organization. The grand prize winners will receive a trip to Google's Mountain View, California, USA Headquarters for an award ceremony for themselves and one parent or guardian. For full details, see the Contest Rules.
8. How were the participating open source projects chosen?
We will choose open source projects from a pool of applications. The open source organizations have all participated in Google Summer of Code and some have also participated in previous Google Code-in programs and are accustomed to mentoring students online and across time zones. The participating projects will be announced on November 12, 2012.
9. How do students choose which organizations to work with?
Students can work with one organization or with multiple organizations during the contest.
Contest Details
1. How do I decide what task to work on?
Take a look at the participating open source projects on the Google Code-in contest page and decide which one(s) are doing work that is interesting to you. Click on the name of the open source project and you'll be taken to its individual contest page, which will give you information about the project and resources for learning more. You can then browse available tasks in the Issue Tracker section of the project's contest page.
Each task will be labeled with descriptors like "documentation" or "coding," which will further help you narrow down your choices of what task to choose. Take a look at the requirements for an individual task and, if you're up to that particular challenge, claim the task and start working on it.
2. How do I claim and complete a particular task?
- Sign in to your Google Account. If you do not have a Google Account, you can create one without charge from Google. If you already have a GMail address, you can just sign in to your GMail account.
- You'll need to sign up for a Melange Profile as well. You can do so as soon as you are logged in at google-melange.com. You will need to attach your signed parental consent form and proof of enrollment in a pre-university program *before* your Melange Profile is complete. After the profile has been successfully uploaded you can then Claim a Task.
- All the actions on the task from then on appear on the task public page. The following happens only after the Task is published, i.e. in the Open state.
- A student submits the action "Request to claim" the task along with an optional comment and waits for approval. The task moves to ClaimRequested state.
- This locks down both the task and the student to the task, meaning:
- No other student can request to the claim the same task.
- The student cannot request to claim another task. If a student is already working on a task, they cannot request to claim any other task.
- Organization Administrator or any Mentor of the organization (irrespective of being a mentor of that task) can do one of the following with an optional comment:
- Approve the request if it is valid and has met the requirements to start the task. The task moves to Claimed state.
- Reject the request if the request is invalid, irrelevant or a spam. The task moves to Reopened state.
- If the student completes the work set out by the task before the deadline, they can submit the work by posting a comment along with the URL to the work. Note that either the comment or the URL field is mandatory. The task changes the state to NeedsReview.
- If the deadline passes with the student submitting no work, the deadline is automatically extended for another 24 hours. The task changes in state to ActionNeeded and the notification is sent to all the subscribers who have requested to be notified of changes including the student if they have subscribed.
- If the student fails to submit the work after the extended deadline, the task will be automatically re-opened and the task status will be set to Reopened.
- One of the Mentors of the task reviews the submitted work. The mentor can take one of the following actions:
- If the mentor is satisfied by the student's work they choose the action to "Close the task" along with an optional comment thereby marking the task as closed. The task moves to one of AwaitingRegistration or Closed. See more details below.
- If the mentor is not satisfied with the work but thinks that it requires rework and the student can fix it, they will choose the action "Needs More Work" with an optional comment. At this juncture the mentor has the option to extend the deadline for the student. The task status moves to NeedsWork. The cycle goes back to the point where the student has to submit their work again.
- If the Mentor is completely unsatisfied with the student's work they will re-open the task. The task changes the state to Reopened. The new cycle with the same/another student requesting to claim the task begins.
- The student can withdraw from the task at any point in this entire workflow after they request to claim the task. In such a case the task returns to Reopened state.
3. How are individual contest entries judged?
Each entry is judged by mentors from the participating open source projects. Entries must meet the requirements for completion specified in each task write up. Google's contest administrators will make the final judgment on all entries.
4. How are the Grand Prize Winners chosen?
Two (2) Grand Prize Winners will be chosen by each open source organization based on their pool of entries. Judges of the Open Source organization will evaluate the work of the five (5) highest scoring Participants for their open source organization and will determine the two (2) Participants with the most comprehensive body of work and name those two (2) Participants the Grand Prize Winners for their open source organization. For full details, see the Contest Rules.
5. I have already been working with one of the open source projects; am I allowed to work on their tasks for the contest?
As long as you or a family member do not hold an official position in the open source project, such as core developer or documentation working group member, you are welcome to participate in the contest. If you are not sure, please contact Google's contest administrators for help in deciding whether your participation violates the contest rules.
1. What is a task?
A chunk of work in one of the task categories below, suitable for a 13-17 year old student.
2. What kinds of tasks will I have to choose from?
Tasks will typically fall into the following categories:
- Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code
- Documentation/Training: Tasks related to creating/editing documents and helping others learn more
- Outreach/Research: Tasks related to community management, outreach/marketing, or studying problems and recommending solutions
- Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality.
- User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction
Each task will be labeled in the Issue Tracker with at least one of these categories to help you choose which tasks to complete.
Tasks will be available when the contest first opens on November 26, 2012 at 9am PST.
3. What do the values in the "Status" column of the task list mean?
- Open: This task has not yet been claimed.
- ClaimRequested: Someone has requested to claim this task.
- Claimed: This task has been claimed and someone is working on it.
- NeedsWork: This work on this Task needs a bit more brushing up. This state is followed by a mentor review.
- NeedsReview: Student has submitted work for this task and it should be reviewed by a mentor.
- Unapproved: When the task has been suggested by the mentor but not approved by the organization administrator.
- Unpublished: When the task has been suggested by the mentor and approved by the organization administrator, but not published.
- Reopened: If the task has been rejected by the mentor or organization administrator because it is invalid, irrelevant, or spam.
- ActionNeeded: When the task has not been worked on and the deadline to complete the task has been extended for 24 hours.
- AwaitingRegistration: If a student has completed a task but has not registered.
- Invalid: If the task is marked as invalid, irrelevant, or spam.
- Closed: Work on this task has been successfully completed.
4. Can I work on more than one task at a time?
No, you can only complete one task at a time.
5. Is there a limit to the number of tasks I can complete?
You can complete as many tasks as you would like, but the maximum prize to be shipped is a certificate and a t-shirt. Two (2) Grand Prize Winners will be chosen by each participating Open Source Organization based upon the complete body of work submitted to their organization by students. See the Contest Rules for more details.
6. Can I work on a task as part of a team?
While we encourage you to get help where you need it, only one person will receive credit per task. Participation as a team is not possible.
7. Can I get help from the open source project's community and still take credit for completing a task?
Absolutely! We want you to get to know each project's community members and to understand their processes and requirements. It's totally fine to ask for help if you're stuck, but remember that you should have already tried to solve the problem yourself before getting assistance.
To put it a different way, you've taken responsibility for accomplishing something, so it's perfectly acceptable to get it done in a collaborative fashion - that's how open source works! Just make sure the people you collaborate with are not other contestants.
8. I started working on a task and I've realized that I don't know enough to get the work done. What should I do?
You can withdraw from a task at any time by selecting "Withdraw" from the actions drop down on the task page.
Don't get discouraged - find something else you're interested in working on that is a better fit for your skills and experience and try again!

Berlin's Pipe to Offer Facebook File Sharing
For people who are not Internet power users sharing large files, such as videos, can be complex and possibly slightly risky. For instance, to use a cloud-based service such as YouSendIt or DropBox you have to upload your files, so there is some chance it will be downloaded later by the wrong person.
Pipe is designed to allow Facebook friends to send large files directly to each other when both are online. The file does not sit in the cloud waiting to be downloaded. There is no need for any privacy policy because the encrypted files are transferred directly from browser to browser.
In a lengthy article about the Berlin-based startup, The Verge's Ellis Hamburger describes the operation of a Pipe transfer:
You drag a file from your desktop onto a Super Mario-esque green pipe on your screen and the file disappears, transferring in real time to a friend on the other end of the pipe. The file appears on your friend's screen, and that's about it…
No data passes through Facebook or Pipe's servers, and all transfers use 128-bit AES encryption. "We're only using Facebook's handshake that establishes that two people are friends," [Pipe Dream Technologies co-founder Simon] Hossell told me. "We establish a direct connection between my computer and your computer." File transfers work using Adobe's Real Time Media Flow Protocol (RTMFP), which allows direct peer-to-peer connections between two web apps without either user having to install additional software besides Adobe Flash. There's no intermediary server, and there are no limits to how quickly you can upload or download data. The only obstacles you might encounter are the bandwidth you get from your ISP, and the 1GB "theoretical file size limit" your browser's cache imposes on the transfer.
The article goes on to say that although Pipe will launch initially as a Facebook app for browsers, Mac, Windows, iOS and Android apps are also in the works. These should appear fairly quickly as the technology runs on the essentially platform-independent Adobe AIR.
What is missing is a launch date beyond "imminent" and any suggestion of how the service will be monetized. The article does say, however, that the company is approaching its first funding round.

Blackberry unveils 9720 QWERTY smartphone with BB7 OS
Business as usual
CANADIAN PHONE MAKER Blackberry pretended it was business as usual today and announced the Blackberry 9720 smartphone.
It might be a new phone, but the Blackberry 9720 runs the firm's obsolescent Blackberry 7.1 mobile operating system (OS). We don't know why, and Blackberry hasn't said why it chose not to use Blackberry 10. However, it's likely due to the older mobile operating system's popularity in emerging markets, and possibly the fact that the Blackberry 10 OS hasn't been doing well so far.
The 9720 features Blackberry's traditional physical QWERTY keypad complete with a dedicated BBM key, paired with a 2.7in 480x360 touchscreen, suggesting that this phone is likely to be cheap.
The handset is powered by a single-core 806MHz processor and has 512MB of RAM, so it's unlikely to be as nippy as the top-end Blackberry Q10.
There's also 512MB of internal storage expandable via microSD card, a 1,450mAh battery and a 5MP rear-facing camera. The Blackberry 9720 will be available in a number of colours, including black, white, blue, purple and pink.
Blackberry has said that the handset will launch in "the coming weeks" across Asia, Europe, Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. There's nothing more specific than that and no word on the handset's pricing, although we're guessing that the 9720 will be priced at around £200.
This announcement comes just a day after Blackberry put itself up for sale. The firm announced that its Board of Directors had formed a Special Committee that will mull ways to ensure the firm's survival, which could involve Blackberry going private or merging with another company. µ

By Nikita Thampi in Skkreen! - On Fri, 30/03/2012 - 19:26
Romantic movies always get a truckload of criticism. Cynics everywhere scoff at the cheesy dialogues, the impossibly perfect settings and the unrealistic expectations that they seem to set in everyone's mind. To my mind, the chances of a real life Leonardo DiCaprio sacrificing his own life to save Kate Winslet's after knowing her for a couple of days just doesn't happen! In all probability, if it were any one of us, we'd push her ass off that plank and save our own skins.
The cynicism is justified. Men chasing the love of their lives to the airport to see her one last time or to ask her to stay, in the movies, is as casual as taking a shower for you. And the carefully written eloquent lines that the actors are supposedly delivering off the top of their heads makes you cringe when you think about the "Err… So, umm... I think I like you" that you managed and were so proud of.
However, everyone at some point or the other wishes that their life was like a romantic movie, where everything somehow works out in the end. As much as we make fun of the cheesy dialogues and scenes, we would all love for the man/woman of our dreams to chase us in the rain and profess their undying love for us (Yes, its super cheesy, but you know its true!)
Watching romantic movies, especially for girls, is a time when you can forget about the harsh realities and transport yourself to a time and place where everyone looks like Brad Pitt and is as eloquent as Tolstoy.
So for all closet romantics out there, here's a list of some of the most romantic dialogues ever delivered on the big screen that make you go all mushy and "awww".
Pride And Prejudice
I love all versions of Pride and Prejudice, but 2005 version starring Kiera nightly and Matthew Macfayden has to be my all time favourite. This particular scene is at the end of the movie when Mr. Darcy and Elizabeth Bennet meet in a field at daybreak in one of the most humble and lovely proposals
" … If, however, your feelings have changed, I will have to tell you: you have bewitched me, body and soul, and I love ... I love ... I love you. I never wish to be parted from you from this day on."
Say Anything
John Cusak falls in love with Diane Court in this Teen Romance. Her father objects. So Cusak does his best to convince her father and clear things with him. Also, it has the famous scene of him standing outside her house holding up the boombox.
"What I really want to do with my life -- what I want to do for a living -- is I want to be with your daughter. I'm good at it."
Titanic is without a doubt one of the most romantic movies ever made. Jack's sacrifice in the end to keep Rose alive makes it impossible for anyone to watch the movie without bawling. And to those stone hearted people who can still sit with a straight face through that, this speech he delivers is sure to force them to shed at least a single tear.
"Winning that ticket, Rose, was the best thing that ever happened to me... it brought me to you ... You must do me this honor, Rose. Promise me you'll survive. That you won't give up, no matter what happens, no matter how hopeless. Promise me now, Rose, and never let go of that promise."
When Harry Met Sally
When Harry met Sally isn't about love at first sight. Its about love between two friends that grows into something more. And in the end of course, they realize they are meant to be together and Harry woos Sally with this speech about everything he loves about her.
Harry: "How about this way? I love that you get cold when it's 71 degrees out. I love that it takes you an hour and a half to order a sandwich. I love that you get a little crinkle above your nose when you're looking at me like I'm nuts. I love that after I spend the day with you, I can still smell your perfume on my clothes. And I love that you are the last person I want to talk to before I go to sleep at night. And it's not because I'm lonely, and it's not because it's New Year's Eve. I came here tonight because when you realize you want to spend the rest of your life with somebody, you want the rest of your life to start as soon as possible."
Notting Hill
Notting Hill is about an average, regular old book store owner who gets involved with a famous movie star. But dating a Hollywood star comes with a lot of problems which lead the couple to call it off. But being a movie, it has to work out and Julia Roberts goes to Hugh Grant in the end, with one of the most famous lines delivered on the big screen which of course is a winner and results in them living happily ever after.
William: "I live in Nothing Hill. You live in Beverly Hills. Everyone in the world knows who you are."
Anna: "I'm also just a girl, standing in front of a boy, asking him to love her."
Jerry Maguire
Jerry Maguire and Dorothy Boyd get married before they are completely sure that they're in love. Realizing how rash they were, Jerry runs scared, only to realize his mistake in the end. He realizes that he loves her and delivers a speech to Dorothy that's sure to get everyone going "awww".
Jerry: "I love you. You…complete me."
Dorothy: "Shut up. Just shut up. You had me at "hello".
Runaway Bride
After running out on Richard Gere at her fourth attempt at a wedding, Julia Roberts goes to his apartment to apologise to him. And tell him that she made the biggest mistake of her life by running out on him. She then delivers the exact same speech he'd narrated earlier on. Definitely one of the best proposals ever.
"Look, I guarantee that we'll have tough times. And I guarantee that at some point, one or both of us will want to get out of this thing. But I also guarantee that if I don't ask you to be mine I'll regret it for the rest of my life. Because I know in my heart, you're the only one for me."

How can I get my 2 year to tell me when he need to go pee?
My 2 year old will sit on the toilet to go pee. I will tell him lets go "pee pee" and he will say "pee pee!" and he will pull off his pull up and take off to the bathroom and while he sitting there he will say "pee pee!" So I know he know what he is doing. So he will go to the bathroom but he wont tell me WHEN he needs to go to the bathroom. I try to ask him but I never get an answer. Also he likes to put his hands in the toilet. How can I keep him from doing that?

Does he actually pee in the potty? Understanding what the potty is and making the association with going to the bathroom is very different from being able to control the urge to urinate. Two is on the early side of potty training especially for boys. Your son just may not be ready yet.posted 07/07/2012 by a BabyCenter Member

Some QC issues on smaller beads
Reviewer: A viewer from Vermont, US
I've ordered three sizes of these beads (1/16", 3/32" and 1/8"). The larger size beads were all great, almost perfectly round, heavy, and the finish looked great. The smaller sized beads were a different story. Four out of the twenty beads were mangled so badly that I couldn't put them onto a hook. Other than that, they're great.
Great bead for the price
Reviewer: A viewer from WAYNESBORO, PA USA
I purchased these beads to get some added depth on my nymphs. The size is consistent, the holes and countersinking is symmetrical and well aligned, unlike some other "discount" beads. Bright gold color on the ones I received. The beads are smooth and not faceted, like others, but well worth the price paid. I fully expect to buy more in the future.

Get's 'Em Down There
Reviewer: A viewer from Missoula, MT US
I almost exclusively buy MT Fly Co's tungsten beads because they just work. I strongly prefer tungsten over brass simply due to the weight. It's flexible enough to be used on the lazy rivers, but will get deep quickly in a fast moving stream. These beads look great on your nymphs & streamers and the sizing guide is pretty much right on. I've found these to be much more expensive in my local shops, so I appreciate the price break for a relatively simple bead. It would be nice if there were 25 to a pack, but it's still a decent value for tungsten bead heads. Thanks for supporting Montana!
Awesome value for Tungs
Reviewer: A viewer from FORT COLLINS, CO USA
I am slowly switching over to tung beads (because of cost) but since I am getting better at tying, I am upping the quality of my flies. These tie on great, easy on the hook and get the fly down a little quicker. Got these with a gift card and will definately be buying more tungs.

Vanessa and her so called study buddy got busted doing the nasty by dirty minded step mommy. She recorded them and blacked mailed Vanessa, so she could fuck James. Vanessa was upset, and she had good reason to be, but step mommy let her join in after a little while. James was like, I'm hard and I want to fuck whomever. The girls eat each others holes while James kept up the pace. Vanessa's young, tight pussy got James to the boiling point while the step mom was there to receive the final blow.

Kylie was telling us how she had a hot latin lover from Spain that she wanted us to met. We told her it was about time she shared him and stopped keeping him to herself. She agreed and she called Ramon over. He came to watch us undress and lick each other. He was not allowed to touch at first, but then we gave him full access. We took turns riding his cock to our enjoyment. We all had our fun with him. We took turns getting our pussies banged while we continued to eat each others twats. The action continued until the manjuice creamed all over us. He definitely passed the test and is welcome to let us share him anytime.

I saw my big tit boss at a strip club working the pole so the next day i decided to confront her. At first she denied everything but eventually she confessed and knew i had her. I told her it would be detrimental to her career if everyone in the company found out what a freak she was so we worked out a deal.

The west coast is keeping us coming back with the big tits and wild nights. The shots were getting poured on everyone, and the tits and asses were bouncing all over. Puma could not keep her big titties from bursting out which did not bother us one bit. She had a little party of her own with Rob later on. Her skinny frame and huge body pillows ended the night just right.

Today we invited one of our many sexy girl friends to hang out. All three of us where on the hunt for some nookie and we found it in the form of Puma. She is a tall dd or maybe more swedish blond who was as freaky and horny as we were. We got her to leave her job for a few hours and spend some quality clit sucking time. The four of us really had a wild time to remember.

NCB Capital Sees Demand For Commodities Driven By A "Super Cycle" In Emerging Markets
NCB Capital, Saudi Arabia's largest investment bank, believes that a growing demand for commodities as physical inputs and investment vehicles has given rise to a commodity 'super-cycle' driven by rapid industrialization and increasing living standards in the face of finite supplies. While the GCC benefits from the oil cycle, its heavy reliance on imports of most other key commodities is creating a particular set of policy challenges for the region.
Rapid income growth and economic development in the emerging economies has transformed the global commodity markets. With the available pool of natural resources typically finite in the case of hydrocarbons and metals, or at least inelastic in the short term in agricultural commodities and renewable energy, the supply side has struggled to keep pace with a dramatic increase in demand.
"With tighter exportable surpluses and mounting costs of boosting production in the face of finite supply, commodity prices seem to be on a secular upward trend, in a so-called super cycle. This is also leading to efforts to ensure supply security through strategic reserves and asset acquisitions," said Dr Jarmo Kotilaine, Chief Economist of NCB Capital, writing in the bank's September GCC Economic Monthly.
In addition, the rising presence of institutional investors highlights the growing appeal of commodities in portfolio diversification and yield enhancement, all of which has prompted growing liquidity inflows into the commodity markets. This is causing considerable short-term volatility in prices as speculative investing amplifies the traditional cyclical movements.
Dr Kotilaine continued, "The economic profile of the GCC region leaves it heavily exposed to commodity price fluctuations. While the region stands to benefit from strong oil prices, the arid climate and limited non-hydrocarbons endowments leave it heavily dependent on imports. Although diversification policies are seeking to address these constraints, strategic acquisitions to control price volatility are likely to become increasingly important."
There are a growing number of efforts to build up strategic reserves in the region, especially in agricultural commodities. Oman has already built up a buffer of between three and four months and both Saudi Arabia and the UAE are in the process of setting up similar systems. GCC public and private sector players have also increasingly developed an international profile in their efforts to secure key commodity supply lines, most obviously in the case of agricultural products. This echoes similar developments in China and India and is likely to grow in importance
Governments are working to boost industrial sectors for which a large domestic or regional market exists, such as is in the regional cement sector, metals extraction, and in petrochemicals. Efforts are also underway to boost the regional supply of base metals, reflected in the aluminium smelter plans for Saudi Arabia's economic cities.
Dr Kotilaine concluded, "The key challenge with all of these endeavours is to ensure their economic viability in the event of significant changes in input costs resulting from possible policy shifts in the face of the widespread use of subsidies."

Meeting God on the 50 yard line!
To me, God stands for the grandiose object of our divinity rather than a single entity or energy, more so encompassing and filtering through us creating cohesion and movement much like collagen and the nervous system in an energy form we feel as love in your universal source of belief. In saying this, I am using God as a term of indentifying love and guidance,
A scenario of visioning how God and guidance works in our lives was given long ago as seeing myself as a player of the field, with guidance being the spectator, cheering me on and at the same time allowing me to call the plays and take accountability of what worked and what didn't through my choices. Guidance would provide blocking and passes when needed for a more triumphant outcome to my game plays in life rather than me being the spectator waiting for the next move to be made. To understand we are a working force in our planning of the days of our lives and being willing to show at least a 50% effort in achieving the goals. Not from a rocking chair of thought and allowance – an effort of putting our self in the game and calling the plays. Taking the forward steps of motion in achieving in bringing what we desire into reality. Doing a personal best to stand equal in mortality to our spiritual being and creating a shared success in the end zone knowing we worked to accomplish and take the final dance.
Two attributes are known which create the backflow in bringing desire into reality, Love and Peace from within. You might wonder why I used "backflow". In creating the energy of desire into physical reality becomes a process of a continuous energy being roped and creating a reverse momentum into the physical world. When done with a heartfelt love and peace, blocks are removed and passes are created on the path as the field opens and widens as desired. Actions taking a back line to the interpretation of feeling between yourself and guidance observing as spectators in the stands and when a block is created you are given the opportunity to observe the blockage, understand the thought process which created the block and what actions were or are being used which are hampering the pass beyond the blockage. Blockages being gifts in eliminating past errors in new cycles and once again creating a forward movement of life and evolution of the soul and these are also the times when many quickly ascertain God has not been there in life and yet in truth they are the times when spiritual energy is most active in life.
Living is the game of life, with the quality being how you live life opposed to just being present in life. Your book of life is the never ending story of the game you are playing right now – making choices and proceeding in the best interest of becoming the peace and feeling the love of within created and shared with your spectacular guidance assisting. The end zone will be crossed many times in the course of living; it is just your choice how you do the final dance, after many crosses or just a final cross after allowing the game to be played with you, rather than being you. Wrongs will not always be blocked and rights will not always be passes, meet at the 50 yard line and choose how to proceed, the next play comes from your never ending game book. Work hard, play hard and may the peace of consciousness always be your intuition! You are never alone.

Because this game was on NHL Network it was blacked out on GameCenter Live. The hotel I'm in tonight doesn't get NHLN (or FSD) so I was out of luck. Didn't stop the league from taking money for GCL, though. I suppose that's a rant for another time. Probably later this month, the next time I'm travelling.
Since I didn't see this one, I won't pretend to have any particular insights into it. Great to see a win, of course, and that Jimmy Howard looks okay after an injury scare.
Kent Huskins being out seems like a minor thing but he has been really solid on the third pair since joining the team. We'll see if he's okay to go tomorrow in Columbus or if Brian Lashoff is back in the lineup. Again, I didn't see the hit that took him out, so I won't speak to the accuracy of the call on the play.
I saw the replay of the final goal of the game, Zetterberg's empty-netter to complete the hat trick. Great job by him to fight through some ridiculously petulant stuff from Oshie. Any complaints about the officiating can't forget that play, as the refs weren't going to call anything on it. Sounds like an awful night all around for the officials.
Back at it in Columbus tomorrow night. I'm moving in the wrong direction as while the Wings will be heading to Ohio, I'll be leaving it.
After a couple days off, the Red Wings are back in action tonight as they host the St. Louis Blues. It'll be the first meeting between the teams since the Blues' rout of Detroit in St. Louis to open the season two weeks ago.
The Blues are coming off a 4-1 win over the Columbus Blue Jackets last night while the Red Wings last played on Tuesday, a 4-1 win of their own over the Dallas Stars.
Detroit is expecting no lineup changes from Tuesday's game, marking the first time this season for the Wings to keep the same lineup for two games in a row.
St. Louis will swap out Brian Elliot in goal for Jaroslav Halak. Elliot went last night against Columbus while Halak was in net for the opener against the Wings.
Game time is 7:30 PM on FSD. I'm expecting to catch this one on the radio, so I won't be doing any in-game updates.
I know it's a new beginning however, that C looks so different. It's hard to believe or accept that number five is gone!

Things started well for Arizona when Brad Hassey led off the game with a double down the right field line. Rockies' starter John Thomson, who earned the win with three strikeouts over two innings, limited the damage and emerged unscathed, paving the way for Colorado's bats.
The Rockies' offense took over from there, as Colorado scored four in the first, six in the fourth, three in the fifth and one each in the seventh and eighth. Rockies' star Todd Hollandsworth went 2-for-3 with a double, a pair of RBIs and a runs scored. Brent Butler hit a solo home run in the eighth.
Greg Powers' fourth inning single up the middle plated Chris Cunningham for Arizona's only run of the game.
Arizona will return to its regular season action this weekend with a two-game series with Cal State-Dominguez Hills, the school where Andy Lopez began his collegiate head coaching career. First pitch on Saturday is slated for a 5 p.m.

2012 Annual Report
Progress was made in the analysis of the USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection with the 50,000 single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) DNA markers that are spread across the 20 pairs of soybean chromosomes. The USDA Soybean Germplasm Collection has over 18,680 cultivated, and 1,115 wild, soybean accessions that represent a wide diversity of genetic types. Over the past three years the DNA of each accession was isolated and analyzed with more than 51,000 SNP DNA markers. The initial analysis of the resulting data indicated that 42,509 SNP DNA markers produced high quality data. It was also determined that the data from more than 2,870 accessions were not completely reliable and these accessions have now been reanalyzed. Based upon the accessions with high quality data, the average genetic distance between any pair of cultivated soybean accessions was 0.29 as determined by the DNA marker analysis. This indicates that, on average, a different form or "allele" of the DNA marker is present at 29% of the DNA marker positions in a comparison of any two soybean germplasm accessions. The complete DNA marker dataset consisting of more than 19,700 accessions with data for 42,509 DNA markers is being further analyzed in preparation for submission to SoyBase, the USDA, ARS, Soybean Genome Database.

Q:What is the replacement schedule for this item?Asked on 6/24/2013 by Bill
3 answers
A:NRS is pretty good when it comes to returning....I ordered the Rasta Bag
myself...a bit "beefier" then I had hoped...they took it back, no problem.
There was another item...the Aleutian Deck Bag.....kept that poor thing
for months....got it in Winter, "fit it" on the kayak in May...out of the
box, tags all bent up....finally got the courage to "ask" if I could
return....bingo: refund. Guess they want to keep their customers.Answered on 6/24/2013 by Anonymous
A:Not sure what you mean, Bill. If you dry the rope between uses, keep it out of the sun and don't get any cuts or tears in the rope it should last you a long, long time.Answered on 6/24/2013 by Clyde from NRS
A:Rastas never replace anything, but a prudent boater should get many years of
service from this product if properly cared for and not abused.Answered on 6/24/2013 by Anonymous

Due to significant industrial demands toward software systems with increasing complexity and challenging quality requirements, software architecture design has become an important development activity and the research domain is rapidly evolving. In the last decades, software architecture optimization methods, which aim to automate the search for an optimal architecture design with respect to a (set of) quality attribute(s), have proliferated. However, the reported results are fragmented over different research communities, multiple system domains, and multiple quality attributes. To integrate the existing research results, we have performed a systematic literature review and analyzed the results of 188 research papers from the different research communities.

So like alot of people, I am completely cynical of Spike's VGA's.
However I decided to have a look and saw a bunch of nominations we can vote for. Checked around and its the same games being mentioned....I flashed back to my first and last VGA experience were alot of Hollywood Actors had starred in games and Neil Patrick Harris voiced Spider-man a game and promptly won.
So I checked is there any stupid amount of pointless nominations? I found one...its one at-least...however it could be a pretty stupid one.
Can someone point out the elephant in the room....more so if you have actually played and completed Sleeping Dogs you will probably have laughed pretty hard.
EMMA STONE AS AMANDA CARTWRIGHT! I played the game never noticed any of the famous voices, hell I recognized the voice actor for Wei Shen when he appeared in the new Total Recall movie. You put Emma Stone in a film...Id have a hard time telling who she is. That is just me, its funnier considering she is a Hollywood actress and I couldn't tell who she is without a Google search, probably seen her.
So for those who dont know this is Amanda's significance in the game.in the game you finished like 3 missions? before meeting Amanda, a lost American in Hong Kong looking for a Martial Arts gym, Wei helps her find it. You drive to the gym and Wei meets his old martial arts instructor get taught a new move and is introduced to the way you unlocked new moves.
Amanda simply was a line to get you to a tutorial... there is one more bit, after that you exchange numbers say you'll call her. Done.
Something a lot of people NEVER do is phone her since they didn't know they HAD to. So I phoned her and a sort of "Date" was set up. She wanted to get photos of herself showing off Hong Kong so you meet at a tourist Garden on the side of a hill. Except is 8pm and closed, so you bribe your way in and take some photos of her and then leave.
Done, gone nothing else done. She is out of the game, so much 25 hours later I said to myself "What happened to that Amanda woman?"
Id say Lucy Liu with Vivian Lu would have been a stronger candidate. The story of a woman in the a Hong Kong Triad run movie business, that while she is becoming a starlet her "boss" is prostituting her to every one either to makes deals or just because he can.
As well as she is in the game for a good few hours. Even at that it is pretty loose.
However as Jeff has said in the past roughly* "If your looking to the VGA's as credible form of acknowledgment to core of Video Games then you need to re prioritize whats important."
Meaning the VGA's are what they are. We will never be able to change it into "A TRUE VIDEO GAME AWARDS" instead go watch the Video Game Baftas for a better idea.
With the Robert Florence and the VGA Media awards thing. Were Journalist could win...however a lot of them felt it a badge of shame, since this was PR and Marketers rewarding Journalist with a pat on the head saying "You brown nosed us the best, here is a reward for not giving us that 7!...thanks!"
The Spike VGA's isnt all that different.
Still...I absolutely chuckle at how Emma Stone as Amanda Cartwright is a significant character....Hell Not Ping gets more involved ontop of being reused for the Halloween DLC.
Oh Spike........

What started out as a fun way to land on TV and earn a big bucks while wearing a silly costume and carrying a purse full of random miscellaneous items, has turned into a household favorite. The classic game show,"Let's Make A Deal" celebrated more than 50 years on the air with three Daytime Emmy nominations, helping CBS Daytime receive a whopping 60 nods overall. The show hosted by Wayne Brady, received nominations for Outstanding Game Show alongside "The American Bible Challenge, "The Chase," "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune" and fellow network show "The Price is Right." Also nominated is Outstanding Game Show Host, Wayne Brady.
Daytime TV Examiner caught up with the show's announcer, Jonathan Mangum to get his thoughts on the show and to get his thoughts on his and Brady's dynamic as they often serenade the contestant looking for a "DEAL" and trying really hard to avoid the dreaded "ZONK." Check out the interview with Mangum below.
Phyllis: You're getting ready to start production again on the show. Talk about the show. You guys improve so much. It looks like you're having so much fun, you and [Emmy nominated host] Wayne (Brady).
Jonathan Mangum: It's a blast. I've known Wayne since we were nineteen years old and all we do is just make that show up. I mean we don't really make up the prizes, those are behind the curtains. But all the stuff, all the fun stuff with each other, no rehearsals – we just show up and do it.
Phyllis: So you two have known each other for that long? Where did you guys meet?
Jonathan Mangum: We met in Orlando Florida and started doing improve together and we were both nineteen years old at a place called Sak Theater and we all moved to LA and joined the improv group "House Full of Honkies," which was kind of funny cause there was one honky who was not in the group. And then from then came "Let's Make A Deal" and I've been touring with him. He's been a great friend. He always puts me in everything he does so…
Phyllis: So when he got the hosting job, did you know? Did he call you? How did it come about?
Jonathan Mangum: When he got to be the host, he said "I want my buddy to be the announcer." I had never announced anything in my life. I didn't even know how to really. I had to learn the voice. (lowers his voice an octave and says) "There's a new car," so he's been a great friend.
Check the Daytime Emmys when they are streamed live online on Sunday, June 22nd beginning at 5:00 p.m. Eastern at DaytimeEmmys.net.
"Let's Make A Deal" airs weekdays on CBS.

The Martian Chronicles The Watchers Summary
- Another interchapter.
- Hearing the news of possible war, a lot of the colonists on Mars come out to watch the Earth at night.
- They see explosions all over the Earth.
- The survivors on Earth radio up to the people on Mars to come home.

Corsair Vengeance K70 review -
Corsair Gone Wild (with a keyboard)
We review the Corsair Vengeance K70 cherry red mechanical keyboard. The K70 is the successor of the popular K60 in terms of the overall basis and concept, but it adds some more features, is much more cool looking with full LED lit keys and has a trick or two encompassed in the new design as well.
Today's tested set of keys for example comes in black anodized aluminum, and it' just looks incredible. Though I'll immediately acknowledge that taste is a very subjective thing. Still have a look at what Corsair offers with the Vengeance K70 gaming keyboard brings a smile to my face, especially since it now kas full LED lit keys. So from an aesthetics view, Corsair just gets it.The K70 is intended to replace the K60 from Corsair and is a mechanical FPS gaming keyboard. it received some criticism on the K60, so t was changed for the K70, every key is now mechanical, using Cherry MX Red key-switches. So yes, the K70 is 100% mechanical. New is also per-key adjustable back-lighting, using red LEDs, so that you can customise which keys are lit, according to the game you're playing. Corsair keeps the the contoured red WASD and 1-6 key-caps. Though we received the black anodised aluminium version, the standard brushed silver aluminium frame is available as well, though I definitely prefer black anodised aluminium.
Another change for the K70 is the addition of a full-sized wrist rest in fact it is quite similar to the one used on the K90. The specs overall remain the same, including a 1000Hz polling rate, 100% anti-ghosting, and the media keys and USB pass-through on the rear remain too. The one change is that the K70 is actually a full n-key rollover keyboard now and if you like choice, Corsair will also offer versions with Cherry MX Brown and MX Blue keys. Standard is Cherry MX red though, as used in this review.
A funny addition to the K70 is a four way BIOS switch located at the backside of the keyboard. It allows you to reduce the polling rate from 1000Hz to 500, 250 or 125Hz, or even strip it back to a basic BIOS mode. Corsair states that this is basically just to aid compatibility with some BIOSes. So in general very few people will ever need to touch the switch.
The K90 also features a full length wrist rest and red LED back-lighting. Let's have a peek at that first ... and then browse our way into the review.

Pre-Earnings Bulls Descend Upon Ciena
Schaeffer's Investment Research
Meanwhile, one CIEN strategist constructs a bull call spread.
Ciena Corporation
(NASDAQ:CIEN) prepares to report fiscal second-quarter earnings later this week, bullish speculators are zeroing in on the security today. Over 6,200 calls have crossed the tape thus far -- more than double the norm, and about triple the number of puts traded. Digging deeper into the data, it appears that one speculator is expecting the stock to rise over the next few weeks, but has trimmed his cost of entry by employing a bull call spread.
More specifically, a block of 2,000 calls was purchased at the June 17 strike near an ask price of $0.73 each, while an equal number of calls was simultaneously sold at the June 20 strike for $0.11 apiece. This resulted in a net debit of $0.62 per pair of contracts. In this scenario, the trader is betting on CIEN to surmount the breakeven rail of $17.62 (bought strike price plus the net debit) by front-month expiration, but not so far north that he would have been better off simply buying a "vanilla" call on the equity. On that note, his maximum profit is limited to $2.38 (difference between strike prices less the net debit), no matter how far CIEN should soar north of $20, while his potential risk is capped at the net debit paid.
This campaign for calls over puts is more of the same for the networking equipment provider. CIEN's 10-day International Securities Exchange (ISE), Chicago Board Options Exchange (CBOE), and NASDAQ OMX PHLX (PHLX) call/put volume ratio sits at 4.66, confirming traders have bought to open more than four calls for every put during the past two weeks. This ratio ranks higher than 77% of comparable annual readings, meaning speculators have been buying calls versus puts at an accelerated clip lately.
As a result, Schaeffer's put/call open interest ratio (SOIR) for CIEN checks in at 0.61, with calls easily outstripping puts among options slated to expire within the next three months. In fact, this ratio hovers just 8 percentage points above a yearly nadir, indicating short-term traders have rarely been more call-heavy toward the equity during the past year.
Technically, Ciena Corporation has tacked on just 3.6% year-to-date, but has bested the broader
S&P 500 Index
(INDEXSP:.INX) by roughly 13 percentage points during the past four weeks. Meanwhile, the stock finished May atop its 10-month moving average, which has served as firm support since November.
As alluded to earlier, the firm is due to reveal quarterly earnings before this Thursday's opening bell, and has had a mixed history in the earnings confessional, besting consensus estimates in two of the past four quarters. However, the stock has traded an average of 3.4% higher the day after posting, and around 4.3% higher a week later. For the current quarter, analysts are expecting a loss of 1 cent per share.
At last check, CIEN is off 2.8% to hover at $16.26.

The Last Time Out
at Bradley 80, Central Michigan 70 | Tuesday, Nov. 12 | Peoria, Ill. | Carver Arena
• Despite playing its first game without suspended center Jordan Prosser and its third game in five days, Bradley used its best rebounding performance in eight years to muscle past Central Michigan, 80-70, Tuesday night.
• Bradley outrebounded the Chippewas, 50-28, for its best rebound total since snaring 56 Dec. 30, 2005 at Wichita State and its widest rebound margin since another +22 advantage against Indiana State Jan. 21, 2006.

• When Bradley hosts Chicago State Friday night, the Braves will be shooting for their first 4-0 start since 2010-11.
• Bradley has opened 28 of its first 109 seasons with at least four straight wins, but just twice since 1985-86 (9-0).
• The 2006-07 Braves began 5-0 en route to a 22-13 final record and the second round of the NIT.

• Through three games, the Braves are averaging 41.7 rebounds per game, while allowing 29.3 boards per game, good for a +12.3 rebound margin on the season.
• Bradley has not finished a season with a positive rebound margin since the 2005-06 Sweet 16 campaign (+3.1 per game).
• Bradley has not averaged at least 40 rebounds per game since 1987-88 (40.5).
• The Braves have not finished a season with at least a +5.0 rebounding margin per game since 1963-64 (+7.8), nor a positive double-digit margin since 1960-61 (+13.3).
3-Point Defense Improves

• The two teams averaged 13.0 treys, while Bradley countered by making just 6-of-27 (.222) long range attempts in the two exhibitions.
• During Bradley's extended, 6-game preseason, the Braves made just 20-of-95 (.211) 3-point field goal attempts.
• Bradley has made 34.8 percent (16-of-46) 3-point tries in the first three counting games.
• More notabley, the Braves have limited Jacksonville State (3-16), Alabama State (3-24) and Central Michigan (6-30) to just 4.0 treys per game on 17.1 percent shooting from the arc.
Historic Stat Stuffer
• Walt Lemon, Jr. completed the 2012-13 season with 545 points, 147 rebounds, 133 assists and 75 steals.
• Lemon joined Bradley legend Hersey Hawkins, the 1987-88 national player of the year, as the only players in school and MVC history to score 500 points, snare 100 boards, dish out 100 assists and make off with 70 steals in a season.
• Based on his 3-game averages, Lemon is on pace to achieve the quadruple again this season.
All About The Steals
• Bradley led the Missouri Valley Conference and tied for 10th nationally by averaging 9.1 steals per game last season.
• Though the Braves graduated 2013 MVC Defensive Player of the Year Dyricus Simms-Edwards, the steal still should be an important weapon for the Braves in 2013-14.
• The Braves are racked up 19 steals in the first two games, but managed just two Tuesday night against Central Michigan.
Newcomer Contributions
• Bradley's lineup includes seven eligible newcomers and all seven have played in each of Bradley's first three games.
• Collectively, the seven new players are averaging 38.7 ppg and 18.7 ppg.
• Sophomore guard Omari Grier, a transfer from Florida Atlantic, is Bradley's second-leading scorer at 14.3 ppg and junior forward Auston Barnes (Odessa College) adds 12.0 pg and 7.3 rpg following his double-double Tuesday.
• Grier (10), Barnes (3) and freshman guard Jordan Swopshire have combined for 14 of Bradley's 16 3-point field goals through three games.
Early Deep Bench
• Head coach Geno Ford has not been shy about using his bench in the first three games.
• Ford utilized 11 players by halftime in each of Bradley's first two games and 10 players are averaging better than 8.0 minutes per game in the early going.
• Thus far, the bench has been productive as Bradley's reserves have outscored their counterparts in each of the three games and by a 49-40 cumulative total.
Looking Ahead
• Bradley will play its first road game of the season Sunday when the Braves visit Illinois for a 5 p.m tip at State Farm Center in their final game of the Global Sports Invitational.
• Illinois owns a 13-3 lead in the all-time series, including an 8-1 edge in Champaign.
• Sunday's game will be just the second between the two teams at the State Farm Center (formerly Assembly Hall).
• The only other game at SFC resulted in a 69-59 Illinois win Nov. 17, 1997 to kick off a 3-year series.
• Bradley won the most-recent meeting, 72-68, Nov. 28, 2009 in the final round of the HoopTV Las Vegas Invitational at Orleans Arena.
