Jose Teixeira has compared the graphics for "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt" on the PC, PS4 and Xbox One. In an interview with Dual Shockers on Aug. 17, the visual effects artists first admitted that the console versions won't feature some of the visual effects from the computer game. The examples he used are screen space ambient occlusion lighting and tessellation water effects.
Jose Teixeira still thinks that the comprises on the consoles are small and should not dramatically impact the overall visual experience. He went on to state that the process optimizing for both the PS4 and Xbox One is going smoother than what the development team were expecting. The video game was able to run on the next-generation systems the first time they tried to boot it, which did not occur when the studio was porting "The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings" to the Xbox 360.
The PS4 and Xbox One were built more like PC when compared to the current-generation consoles. As a result, developers like CD Projekt Red who are more used to working with computer games should find it easier to create new titles than before. While the aforementioned Xbox 360 port of "The Witcher 2 Assassins of Kings" did not come out until a year after the original PC version, "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt" is launching at the same time on all three platforms.
Finally, Jose Teixeira disclosed that the open-world action role-playing game is running at 30 frames per second in several areas. However, he did not clarify if the sequel is going to feature a locked frame rate or a more dynamic clip. You can find a screen from the recent Gamescom convention near the top of this article (via the official "Witcher" Facebook page).
The official "The Witcher 3 Wild Hunt" release date was previously confirmed for Feb. 24, 2015. In North America, the software product is being published by Warner Bros. Interactive Studios. Although CD Projekt Red has a marketing deal with Microsoft Studios, the video game should feature the same in-game contents on all systems.

Canker sores are small ulcerations within the mouth.
Doctors call this common condition aphthous stomatitis.
Canker sores appear alone or in clusters as shallow, painful erosions in the mucous membrane inside the mouth. They typically have slightly raised, yellowish borders surrounded by a red zone, and are sometimes covered with a yellowish opaque material. Fatigue, fever, and swollen lymph nodes may be present in severe attacks.
Minor trauma from poor-fitting dentures, rough fillings, or braces can aggravate canker sores and should be remedied by a dentist.
Several reports have found sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), a component of some toothpastes, to be a potential cause of canker sores.1 In one trial, most recurrent canker sores were eliminated just by avoiding toothpaste containing SLS for three months.2 Positive effects of eliminating SLS have been confirmed in double-blind research.3 SLS is thought to increase the risk of canker sores by removing a protective coating (mucin) in the mouth. People with recurrent canker sores should use an SLS-free toothpaste for several months to see if such a change helps.
Measurements of stress were associated with recurrent canker sores in one preliminary study,4 but not in another.5 More research is needed to determine whether stress reduction techniques might reduce canker sore recurrences.

Oregon coach Mark Helfrich said today that new offensive coordinator Scott Frost will call plays for the Ducks this season.
Helfrich made that disclosure while in Bristol, Conn., in one of at least 10 interviews he's doing over the course of the day as part of ESPN's "car wash" for all six Pac-12 North coaches.
"I'm still going to be involved offensively," Helfrich told ESPN's Ivan Maisel on a podcast this morning. "If I've had an area of expertise over the years, that's been it. … (Frost) is going to call plays, and we're going to be in lock-step with everything we do."
Frost, who spent the last four seasons as Oregon's receivers coach, called plays during spring practices, but Helfrich had yet to announce how things would operate in the fall. Helfrich had called plays in the spring in the past, but former head coach Chip Kelly remained the Ducks' play-caller in games.
In a chat with fans hosted by ESPN today, Helfrich said that "the aggressive nature of our program will continue. That's something that will be outwardly apparent to the onlooker." Oregon has been one of the most efficient teams in the country the last few years in areas such as fourth-down conversions and two-point tries, and apparently that will continue.
Kelly moved from the booth to the field when he became head coach in 2009. Now the Ducks' play-caller will be back upstairs, as Frost is moving from the sideline to the booth in his new role.
Presumably Oregon's backup quarterbacks will continue signaling in plays from the sideline, now getting the calls over the headset from Frost rather than from a coach standing nearby on the field.
Helfrich said offensive assistants Gary Campbell, Steve Greatwood, Tom Osborne and Matt Lubick would be heavily involved in game-planning, as the staff has been for several years.

Delightful new children's play opened this week at The Growing Stage, in Netcong, New Jersey. "The Secret Life of Hubie Hartzel" is the first world premiere in the company's history and is directed of Steve Fredericks, The Growing Stage's founder and Executive Director.
The play was created by children's writer Susan Rowan Masters, first as a short book and later as a 28 minute radio play about bullying in school. Her adaptation for the stage, now expanded to about 75 minutes, was included in The Growing Stage's 2013 New Play Reading Festival, and it won.
The play nicely covers the perils of an over-weight fifth grader: disinterest in school, particularly the stress of homework, an antagonistic older sister, a beloved cat who is dying, and a plan to deal with the class bully. In the end, Hubie finds the courage to stand up to the bully and "do the right thing."
Now in the creative hands of director Fredericks, the play has received remarkable staging, via an attractive, inventive set with excellent assist from video projection… supporting a very talented cast that includes six professional equity actors. Leading the group as Hubie Hartzel is, a Growing Stage regular, Danny Campos. His comedic talent, that we first applauded in his Oliver Hardy turn in 2012, is a major contributor to the success of this production.
Playing in Hubie's world are: Lori B. Lawrence and Jason Scott Quinn as his concerned parents. They nicely double as, Mrs. Bunce, the school teacher, and Fred Ferkle, Hubie's beloved cat who is dying, respectively; Hubie's sister Brenda played with spirit by Nikole Rizzo, last seen in Pinkalicious the Musical. PJ Schweizer, another Growing Stage talented regular, Hermey in Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer, plays Hubie's Best Friend, Frank; Josh Carpenter, plays Hubie's bully Ralph Marruci. He ridicules not only Hubie's weight, but even his name Hubert. The widely experienced actress, Jerielle Morwitz is perfect in the key role of the attractive Lana Slomonsky, the art teacher who enthusiastically encourages Hubert's interest in art.
Rounding out the cast as Hubie's classmates are Natalie Pavelek as Beth Pringle and Jillian Petrie as Shelly Hoff. Both young ladies are obviously talented performers with wide experience, but the play, in its current form, provides little for them to do.
A special contributor to the enjoyment of "The Secret Life of Hubie Hartzel" is Emily Cara Portune (Peter Pan). Portune choreographed the joyous dance sequence in the second act.
There is much to enjoy in this little play that carries an important and timely message about bullying. Parents and grandparents with middle school age children (and teachers too!) should particularly find "The Secret Life of Hubie Hartzel" a rewarding experience. As with all the productions at The Growing Stage, this is a wonderful way to introduce youngsters to the magic world of live theater...hopefully creating lifetime supporters of live theater.
A special note about the theater itself...the interior is adorned with fairy tale themed artwork making it a very special place. See the sideshow.

India: Are we isolated on climate change?
Author: Rajiv Kumar
About a month ago, at a closed-door session on India and Global Climate Change, the main presenter, a former Environment Secretary, eloquently outlined the tough stand that India should adopt in partnership with China and Brazil in the forthcoming Copenhagen Summit. That this is the standard party line was clearly demonstrated by Environment Minister Jairam Ramesh in his recent dialogue with Hillary Clinton. India will not consider any capping of emissions by emerging economies and, in any case, advanced economies should demonstrate their seriousness by making substantial upfront funding (hundreds of billions of dollars) commitments for any meaningful advance to be made.
At this session (June 27), I had raised a somewhat practical question about what India's position would be in case the Chinese had a deal with the Americans. None of us had any inkling of what was brewing and transpired exactly a month later (July 27) in Washington, when China and the US signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on enhancing bilateral cooperation on climate change, energy and environment. Unarmed with this information, the key presenter at the seminar asserted that the Chinese would never let India down and would not have any agreement with the US. Apparently, our Minister subsequently accepted the explanation given by the Chinese Ambassador that the MoU does not and will not lead to any bilateral understanding between China and the US on Copenhagen.
There are no complaints about the Chinese signing a MoU with the US, which is clearly in their national interest, given the high level of mutual economic and financial interdependence between the two nations. But one is amazed at India's apparent naivety in continuing to believe that when push comes to shove (and we can expect that the Obama administration, having already taken several domestic policy steps, will exert maximum pressure to secure an ambitious outcome at Copenhagen), we will not be left in splendid isolation. This happened to us in the last stages of the Uruguay Round (trade talks). It would appear that the great majority of countries feel that a consensus and globally coordinated action on climate change is necessary. Therefore, our Prime Minister did well to sign the joint statement in Aquila [pdf], despite the naysayers. He surely understands that to remain in the game, we have to be seen as a cooperative player.
One wonders how policy makers will act, now that the details of the Sino-US MoU are out. The MoU clearly states that 'The purpose is to strengthen and coordinate our respective efforts to combat global climate change and support environmentally sustainable and low-carbon economic growth.' It adds that, 'The participants intend to hold regular ministerial consultations to deepen mutual understanding, and promote and guide bilateral cooperation on climate change.' (emphasis added).
Two questions arise: First, will we continue to formulate our stance on the assumption that the Chinese will support us when the going gets tough, and is there any mileage in that support if they are regularly consulting with their US counterparts? Second, how come the Chinese are able to pull off such a publicity coup despite their stated opposition to the US? They have signed a MoU that is long on bilateral cooperation, yet gives them sufficient freedom in the ongoing negotiations.
The validity of India's argument against accepting emission caps, which is based on our very low per capita levels and the undertaking to keep these lower than advanced economies, has also been recently challenged.
In a Wall Street Journal article (July 23) the Managing Director of Brookings, Mr William J Antholis, has questioned the credibility of this stand by arguing that by adding more than a billion people by 2050, China and India will undermine the '…Careful consensus (on population management) developed over a decade ago, with India's support, at the 1994 United Nations International Conference on Population and Development.' Mr Antholis goes on to argue that on this basis '… countries like India are using a double standard when they talk about history. … If developed nations are held responsible for emissions that they historically contributed, oblivious to their impact on climate change, why shouldn't developing nations take responsibility for producing generations of people who will generate emissions into the future?' It is clear that advanced economies will not accept the proposition that historical behaviour obliges them to accept completely asymmetric unilateral action for mitigation. The issue clearly is that somehow a workable modality has to be found for all nations to work together to prevent an unacceptable outcome. In this context, is there a way forward in which India could again regain the high ground and not lose the narrative?
A part of the answer to this question came forth in a recent interaction with senior Chinese counterparts, who said that Indian negotiators were so good that once they had spoken either at WTO or United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC), there was nothing left for the Chinese delegates to say! How one wished this role was reversed in the future.
Some pointers for a credible stand for India have been provided by Nobel laureates Thomas Schilling, in a recent lecture at an Indian Council for Research on International Economic Relations (ICRIER) forum, and Michael Spence, in his paper titled 'Climate Change, Mitigation and Developing Country Growth'. Closer to home, Ramgopal Agarwala has produced numbers to show that, given the growth imperatives of emerging economies such as India and China, a more feasible cut-off date for bringing down average per capita emissions to less than two tonnes would be 2050 and not 2020. We can, he argues, work on capping the growth of carbon emissions, rather than negotiate on the basis of an absolute cap. In my view, this has the kernel of a workable idea and our government will do well to look at this more carefully. In any case, being identified as principal naysayers earns us no brownie points from any constituency, and does not serve our national interests.

I think an effective, fair and practical international system for carbon emissions mitigation should be based on the following principles:
1. It is efficient from the global point of view, that is, to incur the least costs in achieving a given objective. This means every country needs to participate and a global tax imposed on emissions from every country.
2. It is effective, that is, it achieves the objective the target to mitigate global emissions. This means the targets of emission mitigation should be based on the most reliable scientific evidence.
3. It is fair to every country. It seems that a most likely internationally equitable approach is to have everyone at a certain given time the same "property right" of the global atmosphere, so they have the right to impose penalty on emissions from any countries. This means that the global tax should be distributed to everyone equally, irrespective which countries they are from.
4. It is simple to implement.
An international system of climate change may take many forms, but the underlying principles should be clear and well founded.
Any country including both developed and developing countries alike can use these principles to formulate their negotiation strategies. India can be more proactive and effective in its attitude towards climate change and Copenhagen negotiation. A fair international system will not undermine developing countries' interests, like India's, but it will be in the best interest of every country.

One thing that has been very useful since I got to New Zealand is Skype. Being able to talk to someone over the computer and actually see their face makes a world away seem a lot closer. My parents like it, too. I think it makes them really happy to be able to see me smile and talk to them on their computer screen. It makes you forget how far apart you really are.
I was talking with my parents and sister this morning and they brought my cat Moko on screen! It made me so happy to see her and she even perked up when she heard my voice. It was really adorable. I miss my cat so much. I can't wait until she is able to come over and live with us. Her vaccines weren't ready for our trip over so we're hoping that whenever my parents come to visit, they'll be bringing Moko too.
My friend Laura also got Skype. It was nice to talk to a friend, too. I miss my friends in New York.
Have you ever used Skype or video chat? What do you think of it?

I'm building a Cocoa Touch Static Library. How should I decide whether to copy a header file as public, private, or project?
Source: Xcode Developer Library > Tools & Languages > IDEs > Project Editor Help > Setting the Visibility of a Header File
Randy's answer is good and gives you all the relevant background. I wanted to add some info to help you based on how you expect your library will be used.
PROJECT: If you are distributing your project, and expect users to include your project as a sub-project in their own, you should ensure your headers are marked as 'project'. Not doing so will lead to issues like this: Xcode 4 Archive Version Unspecified
Note that this applies to every sub-project...including sub-projects of sub-projects, recursively.
PUBLIC: If you expect users of your library to only link against your object (and NOT have your original project), make sure your headers are marked as 'public' (only for headers they'll need to refer to).

Women's Soccer Falls To Dayton 5-1 In A-10 Championship
Nov. 6, 2011
DAYTON, Ohio - Three first half goals helped Dayton past UMass, 5-1, for the 2011 Atlantic Women's Soccer Championship on Sunday afternoon at Dayton's Baujan Field. The Flyers earn their third consecutive A-10 tile and improve to 19-3-0, while the Minutewomen fall to 14-5-2 and will await the outcome of the NCAA selection show to see if their season will continue.
In the opening minute of the contest, Juliana Libertin and Stephanie Emery set up Colleen Williams at the top of the 18. Williams took one dribble and fired a top-shelf shot past UMass netminder Emily Cota.
Williams connected for her second of the game at 9:27. She finished a drop pass from Libertin that came from Josie Grant.
Grant set up the third Flyers' tally as well, sending a through ball ahead to Stephanie Emery who dribbled to her left and finished with a shot off a Minutewoman defender at 29:27.
UMass' best opportunities came in the second half, but Emily Kenyon's penalty kick made it 4-0 in the 68th minute, while Willliams completed her hat trick moments later.
In the final minute of play, freshman Alyssa D'Arcy netted her first career goal for the Minutewomen to break up the shutout at 89:46.
Dayton finished with a 24-6 shot advantage and led in corner kicks, 9-0. Fouls were 15-10, against UMass. Junior Emily Cota made five saves for the Minutewomen, while Stephanie Gordon played the final 15:42 and stopped one shot. Jordin Melchert had one save for the Flyers.
Three players represented UMass on the Atlantic 10 All-Tournament Team: senior forward Julie Morrissey, senior defender Meghan Collins and sophomore midfielder Cecilia Jensen.

"I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve." - Japanese Admiral Isoroku Yamamoto, after the attack on Pearl Harbor.
Since Obama got re-elected, and he and his Progressive Marxist hordes started their War On The Second Amendment, I've been predicting that they were going to get their backsides handed to them in the elections next year, and the article at the end of this blog seems to be the official harbinger of their doom. It's one of the most inspiring and fired-up things I've ever seen Wayne LaPierre write!
For literally decades, I was disgusted with the NRA, as I'm a Second Amendment absolutist - I think all gun laws are unconstitutional and that every stinking one of them should be repealed, and I agree 100% with the article at
that some things ( rights! ) should never ever be compromised, or they cease to be rights.
So what happened at Harrisburg was very inspiring to me, as has been the deluge of Congress by our pro-rights patriots!
And it's been especially inspiring to me to see the new NRA slogan "Stand And Fight", because it appears to signal that they've finally learned these lessons about compromise! You can compromise on your pizza toppings, but some things you never compromise - you don't compromise your sister or mother to a rapist and you don't compromise rights - not ever!
So I'm very encouraged that perhaps the membership and leadership of NRA have finally learned that lesson, and hopefully permanently, because when tyranny comes knocking at the door, it's not the time to compromise, it's the time to Stand and Fight!
So I do think that the gun control supporters are going to get their backsides handed to them during the next election, and in a way that should eclipse, by orders of magnitude, what happened to them when they tried a minor version of this during the Clinton regime! I've never seen so many loyal Americans this furious before!
Please read the following article, it's great!:
Wayne: I'm now officially proud that I finally rejoined the NRA last fall, when the Progressives' War On The Second Amendment began! Thank you!

Aside from personal or familial Democrat party affiliations, the single thing that ties together all of the young mass murderers who have wreaked havoc, at least since Columbine, is "psychotropic drugs." With the exception of jihadist killers, Divinely tasked to advance Islam (See: "An Oath Violated?" at http://www.politicalislam.com/blog/2009/11/), all of the best-known American killers in the last few decades - everyone from the Columbine killers to Adam Lanza - were young men on SSRIs, Ritalin or Adderall. These drugs are known to increase the risk of suicide among young users. Suicide is an impulsive behavior turned against oneself. Violent impulses, however, can be turned against others, yet such dangerous prescriptions continue to compensate for moronic curriculums that are uninteresting, nonchallenging and outright boring classes our children are forced to attend.
We better call our senators & house members now & every day until this is defeated.
John Mc Cain, There is no fool like an old fool. He has been in Washington to long. It's time to move on.
All the replies to this topic are just spot on! I agree with everyone of the Patriots here!
Thanks, Guys, great responses!
Open letter to Senator John McCain, (dated April 5, 2013)
I understand that you're collaborating with Obama's universal background check for every firearm transfer. Is it that you somehow trust the government NOT to use these applications as a back-door method for universal gun-registration, or do you simply not know that any recovered crime-weapon can be traced back to its last known owner, who can be prosecuted if he/she provided the gun to a prohibited person? Why should the government be involved in exchanges of firearms with a neighbor or between family members? With a President clearly involved in gun-running to drug cartels and Muslim terrorists, a President endorsing a UN Treaty that would strip our rights to bear arms, a President who cannot pass a background check himself, a President lying about gun statistics - contrary to a wealth of scientific studies, DHS apparently preparing for a major war - with the photo targets they've purchased looking like average Americans; this does not seem like an opportune time to attack our enumerated, God-given rights.
If you want to do something positive toward public safety, you might lead a repeal of the "Gun-Free School Zone Act" of 1995, which apparently was designed to provide safe havens for killers, enabling high body-counts to facilitate anti-gun zealots' political ends. If there was some real safety feature of these "zones," could you elaborate on it/them?
A courtesy copy went to Senator Jeff Flake. and everywhere else I can think of.
I hope you are are all right, but I still have the predictions that Romney would win in a landslide with this economy ringing in my ears.
That said, some of the most dangerous at Concord were the old men. I stand with them, should the time come.
We do need to STAND & FIGHT. We cannot allow the millions who have sat out 2008 & 2012 to do so again. We have to knock on their doors & provide positive peer pressure to get them to the polls, voting for the most constitutional conservative candidates who can win. We also right NOW have to be in consistent contact with our elected representatives with an unmistakable NO for any new gun control measures.
No compromise, ever!
A well written article, and good job Wayne. I hear the NRA criticized a lot by the Media, but they are the one group effectively defending our rights. Whatever problems they have, they are head and shoulders ahead of the GOP Leadership.

It is common to see clothes with large logos or monograms as part of our everyday look in today's society. Our streets are swamped of clothing and accessories displaying all kinds of brands. We've all seen a proliferation of Louis Vuitton bags with the LV monogram (real or fake), Polo t-shirts with an augmented version of the logo, and Guess sweaters spelling the brand in shining beads.
Designers and label houses use monograms differently depending on the intention (that's another story!). The fact is some make an effort to keep them discrete and hidden while others develop designs around them.
There is nothing wrong with buying pieces that portray the label's logo as part of their main design. Consumers have a right to buy whatever they like. It is true though, that buying what you like not necessarily mean making the best decision. Lately, consumer's choices have echoed an inclination towards monogram-only pieces. So based on the results, a question arises: when is it okay to wear a large logo?
Some of us feel like a walking billboard when using these pieces, so we simply avoid them; others, love the logo-mania and sport them like proud brand ambassadors.
Emblems or logos are okay when displayed discretely. It is not okay when the emblem becomes the focus of the whole outfit (Like when you wear your favorite GAP sweatshirt and the logo can be identified from 5 feet away).
Here are some guidelines regarding clothes with "large" logos:
1. Never use clothing displaying big logos to work: Depending on your line of work, you may be able to pull this one off. If your office requires suits NEVER wear a logo. If you wear a uniform, avoid them. It is distracting and it defeats the purpose of the uniform. If you work in a casual atmosphere, try to avoid them. They give focus to your clothes and not your work.
2. Never use clothes with large logos on a date: It gives the wrong impression. Most men know women enjoy packing their closets with big labels, but they don't have to be reminded on the first day.
3. Do not use monogram-pieces to elegant social events: Never use logos when going to weddings, formal dinners, graduations, proms, fundraisers, New Year's, etc.
4. Never use clothing with big brand logos when creating a first impression: This means no logos when dressing up for a job interview, first day of work, first date (yes, again), first time meeting your boyfriend's parents, etc.
5. Do not use clothing items with logos when working at events, even if they say you can wear whatever you want: If you are working in a fair, festival, carnival, or convention, just DON'T.
6. If you are a model, actress, or artist never go to an audition wearing something with a big logo.
7. If you are going to be photographed or going to appear on TV, do not wear large monograms.
Please take into consideration that these are all recommendations. You can do whatever you want, but if I were you, I will keep those pajama pants with the Angels' initials for the weekend, or even better, for staying at home.
Like all style mistakes many can be avoided with the right use of accessories. If you have a certain craze for something, express it with accessories. If you must wear logos do it through your handbags, shoes, jewelry pieces and belts. Remember to keep it discrete. Wearing large logos on your shoes doesn't make it right, but it makes it more acceptable. We all love Tory Burch's flats, so it's okay! We understand!

'SWV Reunited' Season 1, Episode 1 Recap: Coko Might Have Breast Cancer
After a 15-year hiatus, SWV is back with energy, spirit and a headlining tour. But with so many years of growing up and being apart, there are still some old wounds that haven't healed as well as secrets that aren't shared in the season premiere of 'SWV Reunited.'
Cheryl "Coko" Clemons proves this when she does her best to hide news about a lump doctors found in her breast from Tamara "Taj" Johnson-George and Leanne "Lelee" Lyons.
But before we get to that drama, the show kicks off with each of the ladies spending some time at home before they head to London to play Wembley Arena. Taj, who lives in Nashville, and Lelee, who's in Atlanta, both have family time and shares her nervousness regarding the show. "It's been so long since we've performed in front of so many people," Lelee tells her kids. "So I'm just scared."
While Coko, who resides in Virginia Beach, Va., is just as excited, we finally see her reveal that she may have breast cancer, but she won't be able to get a biopsy to find out if she has cancer till after their show in London. While that's scary enough, Coko surprises her husband, and sometimes SWV drummer, Mike Clemmons, and tells him that she doesn't plan to share the bad news with Taj and Lelee.
"I don't feel like they're my sisters," she says. "We haven't been tight in many, many years, and this is my personal business. And I wanna keep it to myself."
But she does reassure Mike that she would say something if the lump is malignant because that would essentially stop the SWV comeback.
We then see the ladies back in Nashville to rehearse 'I'm So Into You,' but Coco explains that she's not big on rehearsing. "Coko doesn't like leaving her house," she says. "I'd rather rehearse over the phone."
Even though that seems like a problem, the biggest issue is really Cory, SWV's manager and Coko's old friend. It's clear that Taj isn't a big Cory fan and the two get into a spat during rehearsal about not having any information about their upcoming press in the U.K. Since Cory as manager doesn't seem to be working, they consider talking to Jeff Robinson to possibly manage them. Meanwhile, Coko tells Cory about her health problem.
Perhaps what many fans don't realize or remember is that SWV broke up not because they weren't doing well on the charts, but because they were not getting along. And when they get to the U.K, their first interviewer quickly asks them about what really happened to the "demise of SWV."
Each of the girls have their own views on the story. While Coko tried to go for a solo career that never rose to the great heights of her former girl group, Taj sold her house to survive and Lelee just could not cope. "It got to the point where I was gonna end my life," she explains.
Although they seem to get through the radio interview, they were a wreck during their a cappella rendition of 'Weak' as Taj just kept laughing and coughing at each attempt to sing.
They brush it off and head to Wembley, where they once performed back in the '90s with Case, Snoop Dogg and Blackstreet, and reveal how nervous they are to play such a big show.
As they try to keep their cool and finally get onstage, Tyson Beckford (or rather his hotness) gives them all butterflies during their performance of 'Anything,' of which he made his music video debut. The show goes off without a hitch, and you'll instantly feel the nostalgia when you see Charisse Rose and Cassandra Lucas of Changing Faces and Tyson show up to greet the ladies in the green room.
While SWV are all smiles, here comes Cory who provides "constructive criticis"' and spills the beans on Coko's cancer worries. And Lelee and Taj immediately break down in tears and confront Coko. "You have to stop keeping secrets like that from us," Taj says. "It is not fair."
Back in Virginia Beach, Coko takes us into the examination room for her biopsy. Two days later, they are back in rehearsals, and Taj brings up the meeting with Jeff in New York City to sign him on as their manager. They decide to take the meeting, but then Coko gets the call from her doctor.
Does she have cancer? Is this the end of SWV? Find out next week.

A few weeks ago, after installing the Safari 6.0.2 update, Quicktime started stuttering (Music playback in iTunes stutters, playing those silly quicktime videos on Apple's website stutters, etc.). Every now and then the system also freezes for a second or two, and I get a Beach Ball of Death.
I tried reinstalling Mountain Lion on top of the current installation using the installer from the app store, which seemed to have fixed things for a few minutes.
Can anyone who's dealt with these issues share some insight? I heard that their pretty widespread, but I can't find any solutions anywhere.
My Mac is a Mac Mini late 2011, running OS X Mountain Lion 10.8.2.

I have a freshly rebuilt U engine that unfortunately has a scavenger pump installed with a chain oiler.
I want to get rid of the chain oiler option without having to mount and time a new scavenger pump. Thought this should be possible by carefully removing the scavenger pump cover and replacing it with a cover without a chain oiler.
Sounded good, but after removing the cover I found the drive gear had a little notch to feed the chain oiler. I am afraid to remove this gear witch lock rings and drive key and was wondering if I can just leave this gear in place and just mount the new cover?
Can I safely do this and/or has anyone ever run a scavenger pump without chain oiler this way?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Charlie Haden's Quartet West: The Long Goodbye
The Long Goodbye
Charlie Haden's Quartet West
Haunted Heart (Verve 513078-2)
Charlie Haden (bass), Ernie Watts (tenor sax), Alan Broadbent (piano), Larance Marable (drums).
Composed by Alan Broadbent.
Recorded: Sčte, France, October 27-28, 1991
Rating: 97/100 (learn more)
Quartet West was one of the more interesting and significant groups of the '90s because of the material they chose to perform, and both the polish and authority with which they played it. Their focus was on the Hollywood film, popular and jazz music of the '40s and '50s. Quartet West's approach was atmospheric, mixing old recordings by such popular singers of the day as Billie Holiday, Jeri Southern and Jo Stafford, with movie fanfares and themes, as well as classic bebop tunes.
Another of the group's fascinations was the way Raymond Chandler portrayed the dark and decadent side of Southern California, and Los Angeles in particular, in his Philip Marlowe mysteries, which inspired original compositions such as Haden's "Hello My Lovely," and Broadbent's "Lady In the Lake" and "The Long Goodbye." The latter begins with the composer's melodic piano intro, leading into Watts's sweet-toned reading of the romantic, yearning theme, with its intimation of innocence lost and heartbreak to follow. The swelling bridge seems to come right out of a Hollywood tearjerker. Broadbent contributes a sparkling solo with prancing lines and richly chorded passages. Watts enters with swirling runs and stirring vocalized inflections, his solo masterfully constructed and yet still sounding emotionally spontaneous, before he once again caresses the memorable melody. Private eye Philip Marlowe could have used a dose of this soothing music.
"So I went to bed. But not to sleep. At three a.m., I was walking the floor listening to Khachaturian working in a tractor factory. He called it a violin concerto. I called it a loose fan belt and the hell with it. A white night for me is as rare as a fat postman." – The Long Goodbye (Chapter 12)

The comments regarding Khachaturian's masterpiece is plain stupid and the hell with it.. What a bell-end!

I'm trying to save some time on a repeated task I keep getting asked to do.
We have an internal application we'll call "App".
This App has a database called "AppLive"
We have a "Test" instance of the same application, which uses the Database "AppTesting". This is so we can perform tests etc without affecting our live data.
When the users want to start playing with the Test Instance of the application, I am asked to "import the live data into the test database". They need the most current set of live data from our AppLive Database imported into the AppTesting database.
My current process is this:
Take the most recently nightly full backup of the live database. Delete the test database "Restore" the AppLive backup file into a new database called AppTesting (same name as deleted database).
This gives us the most recent nightly data into the Test database.
The problem with this is that the database is getting huge. It's about 11GB - and the backup files are remotely stored on a NAS drive.
So I have to wait 45 minutes to transfer the database backup file onto the SQL server, and then begin the import. Which again takes an absolute age.
My ideal solution to this would be:
Continue to do my nightly full backups of AppLive database (for our normal backup requirements) and for an incremental backup to me made in addition to this - so that when I have to import live data into our Test database I don't have to play with the huge 11GB file. Ideally I'd like to be able to say to MSSQL management studio "please update AppTest db with all new data from AppLive" - I don't want this scheduled though, the Test data has to stay static until we're requested to update it with the new data.
I hope this is clear enough and that someone is able to point me in the right direction.

Sandringham Hotel, Sydney
June 24, 2011
Supports: Melody Black, Nat Col and the Kings
Reviewed by Brian Fischer-Giffin
Pix by Andrew Pittman
Opportunities like this don't come along very often anymore and may not ever again: the chance to catch one of Australia's greatest bands blasting out a full set of steamin' rock n roll in the confines of a small, intimate room, and it was no surprise that the House Full sign had gone up for both these shows a few days before the event.
Warming up the room tonight was Nat Col and the Kings, a fantastic hard-edged blues rock band. Led by Nathan Cavaleri, driven by the booming drumming of ex-Screaming Jet Col Hatchman and also featuring a bass player and chick backing vocalist, meaning one of the Kings is actually a Queen, the quartet served up a rock-solid, scorching set of classic heavy blues that showcased Cavaleri's BB King-influenced playing (not to mention his Hutchence-like appearance). Hatchman's sparse, unusual drum set-up also allowed him to show off his flashy style in a mid-set solo that brought bursts of applause from the crowd.
Melody Black seemed like the odd band out on the bill tonight, but any notion they were at the wrong gig would have melted away the moment they began. While their style might be more brash hard rock than raw heavy blues, it could be only the most cynical who would argue that they weren't watching one great live act, with the songs to back it up. Stripping back the Gothic and electronic window-dressing of Leeno Dee and Johnathan Devoy's previous bands and renewing Dee's long association with Phil Bowley and Tubby Wadsworth, Melody Black combine catchy rock tunes with an entertaining and energetic performance, and they went down a treat.
I once wrote that Rose Tattoo is one of the greatest bar-room blues bands ever to draw breath. That statement is as true now as ever. As someone else once said, the Tatts aren't so much a band as a gang, but really they're even more than that: they are a force. A power. An embodiment of the true spirit of rock n roll. Once they hit the stage, nothing else matters until they're done. They are lock-step tight and sounding mean.
Dai Pritchard's singing slide guitar slahes across the jagged blues riffs of cuts like "Who's Got the Cash?" and "Stand Over Man" and the eager, tightly-packed crowd chime in to help with the choruses of "Rock N Roll is King" and "One of the Boys", which is dedicated to the memory of Downtime's Billy Hughes; midway through the set they roll into the sinister slow groove of "The Butcher and Fast Eddy". Out front, Angry Anderson doesn't just engage the crowd, he embraces it like a friend or, rather, as he constantly refers to everyone, like brothers and sisters. He offers jokes about drinking mere water on stage and presents the new lead guitarist (whose name, in my post-inebriated haze, has eluded me) with a light-hearted jibe at Rockin' Rob Riley's expense. With an amusing snippet of wisdom or observation he introduces each song, then rips into them with a voice that like his band is one of sheer power. The Tatts are on fire. These are five guys who just know how to rock and roll together, an instinctive musical animal. Before anyone knows it almost ninety minutes have gone by and with but a brief exit from the stage they're back, belting out "Rock N Roll Outlaw" and then finishing off with "We Can't Be Beaten" that throws up a sea of fists from the audience. Even after that Rose Tattoo was ready to play on and in fact the next night they extended their set by another half an hour.
Inside the Sando's tiny band room Rose Tattoo showed tonight why they are still one of the most revered underground rock n roll acts on the planet. The world will be a poorer place once they are playing stages no more.

The Better Business Bureau in Cincinnati, Ohio, has issued a fraud alert. On Jan. 29 cell phone users were issued a warning about the One Ring phone scam that returning a phone call to an 'Unknown Caller' may leave unauthorized charges on your monthly wireless bill.
A computerized 'dialer' sends out thousands of phone calls to random cell phones, rings once, and then hangs up. Curious callers that dial back the number are charged International call fees plus and additional $9.95 per minute charge while inquiring about the call says the BBB.
"It's called "The One Ring Scam" as part of a practice called phone cramming. Cellphone plans are billed through automation and usage on both incoming and outgoing call. You are recognized if you answer the call, and a billing statement is passed through from the service provider on the other end of the line," says the BBB.
The calls are reported as coming from foreign locations like the Caribbean Islands, Jamaica, Grenada and British Virgin Islands and Antigua. If you receive such a call alert your wireless provider and watch their bill. In addition, contact your local law enforcement and Better Business Bureau to file a complaint.
"A Cincinnati resident received such a call stating the number originated from Antigua," says the Cincinnati BBB . They go on to explain the best thing to do is not return any calls you don't recognize, especially an International call or any unfamiliar area code.

LG Nexus 5 specs confirmed by leaked manual
The LG Nexus 5 is probably going to be unveiled by Google alongside Android 4.4 KitKat before the end of this month (perhaps as early as next Monday, in fact). This smartphone has been leaked many times so far, and bits and pieces of its specs have been rumored for quite a while now.
None of those, though, was purported to come straight from the handset's service manual. Over the weekend, the folks over at Android Police received a copy of such a document, and were able to extract all the important specs of the Nexus 5 from it.
Obviously, that service manual could have been faked, but LG has since asked Android Police to take it down – which the company may not have done for a document that wasn't authentic. So this takedown request only solidifies our perception that the following specs are in fact real.
According to the manual, the LG Nexus 5 should have a 4.95″ 1080p Full HD IPS touchscreen, an 8 MP rear camera with optical image stabilization, a 1.3 MP front camera, a 2.3 GHz quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 800 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 or 32 GB of internal storage, wireless charging, NFC, Bluetooth, 4G LTE support, and a 2,300 mAh battery.
There may be other storage capacity versions, and the phone will obviously also sport Wi-Fi. The rest of the specs are in line with what's been leaked before, and unfortunately the tradition of Nexus smartphones coming with laughably small batteries seems not to have changed. That makes absolutely no sense if you consider the fact that most of the people who buy (or even know about) Nexus devices are power users, who'll clearly need to charge this handset more than once per day. Sure, if the Nexus 5 is going to be rather affordable, some corners understandably had to be cut, but why is battery life always an afterthought for Google? Do the people working on Nexus devices over in Mountain View even use them?
If you also consider Google's hate for microSD card slots and removable batteries, you might think the company feels that the 'average Joe' is the perfect customer for the Nexus line. But the people most concerned with the Nexus 'purity' in terms of software are power users, who will know to use a microSD slot without getting confused, and who would appreciate longer battery life or at least a way to swap batteries.
This leads to a strange situation, in which most of the people buying a Nexus smartphone aren't the ones it seems to have been designed for.

Stolen golden retriever that went missing three weeks ago finally reunited with family
Family went to extreme measures to get dog back
LAKELAND, Fla. - The golden retriever named Sophie that went missing three weeks ago in Lakeland is now back home with its family.
Sophie's story captivated the community after her owners went to great lengths to find their beloved dog, by putting up a billboard, posting hundreds of flyers, and even hiring a search and rescue team.
It turns out the dog wasn't lost, it was stolen.
"This dog was picked up and taken and was not going to come back home. It was basically finders keepers," said Blane Fox, a family friend of the McFarland's, who own the dog.
After we took action with a story that aired last week on ABC Action News, the family got dozens of tips -- one of them leading to a woman who lives nearby.
Attorneys and detectives got involved and on Thursday, all parties reached an agreement: the family would not press charges or publicly embarrass the lady if she just turned Sophie over.
That's all they ever wanted.
"Finally the folks who had the dog made the correct decision to give the dog back," said Peter McFarland.
Leading up to their happy reunion, there have been plenty of letdowns.
Peter and Blane showed up at several homes thinking they found Sophie, only to find a similar golden retriever.
But this time it was for real.
The two families arrived at Companion Animal Hospital, which facilitated the reunion. With our camera rolling, the vet brought Sophie out and both families erupted in cheers.
They finally got their dog back.
The family said the community's overwhelming support along with the great work from the Lakeland Police Department is what allowed them to get Sophie back.
"The community has been incredible for this," McFarland said.
On Friday morning, Peter plans to stand on the side of the road near his home in Lakeland where he's stood each day for the last three weeks holding a "lost dog" sign.
Only this time Sophie will be sitting beside him, with a sign that reads "found."
"If the little pieces didn't add up, there's no way this dog was coming home," Blane said.

But diversity goes beyond just a mish-mash of different of asset classes.
Geography is another way to cover all your bases –– and it's a lot easier than you might think.
U.S. News & World Report's Miranda Marquit outlines three simple ways to get into the foreign investing game:
1. Try seeking out foreign companies listed on U.S. exchanges.
Why: It's easier to go through U.S. channels if you've got your eye on a hot foreign company.
2. Take advantage of low-cost index funds.
Why: They're cheaper, for starters, and index funds or exchange-traded funds (ETFs) give you access to a host of asset classes you might not otherwise be exposed to. Just pay close attention to your risk tolerance –– not all funds are created equally.
3. Consider REITs.
Why: If you're too squeamish to commit to plucking up property in foreign real estate markets, REITs might be the answer. They are real estate investment trusts that focus on foreign properties.

Entry 2 by Laura Cross:
The trip to Tennessee began with the team standing on Binkley awaiting the arrival of the taxi driver. The Texas fall weather of 85 degrees left us greatly anticipating the coolness of Tennessee. Being a 5th year senior, I have traveled to quite a few tournaments. The Tennessee tournament, The Mercedes-Benz Championship, has always been an enjoyable event, both on and off the golf course.
Lacey, with her consistently superior play, once again proves she is one of the top players in the country. Kate showed her determination with her ability to bounce back and offer the team low scores. The freshman, Paige, Tia, and Stephanie all reminded us of their awesome playing abilities and admirable attitudes. Although we did not place as high as we had anticipated, this tournament allowed us to step back, assess our strengths and weaknesses, and get back to work. As I look at this team, I see a great group of dedicated ladies with outstanding golf games and entertaining personalities.
We retuned to SMU late Sunday night crammed in a limo. Our usual means of transportation had been switched and so all six of us girls, each with a large suitcase and golf clubs, and 2 pull-carts piled into the limo. It�s a great bonding experience when you are literally stuck to the person next to you! We sang, took pictures, and laughed until we cried. Yes, this team knows how to have fun. We enjoy every moment together, on and off the golf course.

How to Add Value to Your Home
Adding value to your home is a great investment, especially if you are looking to sell it. There are a number of things you can do to add value. While some ideas are more expensive than others, you need to decide which option fits your home and needs.
1Improve your curb appeal. This is your first impression, so ensure that your home looks neat and welcoming. Add shrubs and plants and keep your grass well groomed. If you don't have enough of a front yard, or any yard at all, then add plant pots with lots of flowering shrubs. Make sure that your front doorway, lighting and any other features are all in good condition.
2Modernize your kitchen. Not only should your kitchen have new quality wooden cabinets, countertops and flooring, but it should be spacious and have lots of convenient storage space. Opt for a high-end stone counter if your budget allows, but make sure that the materials you use are comparable for the type of home you have. Include as many amenities as your space will allow, such as a breakfast bar and the latest appliances.
3Update your bathrooms, especially the "en suite," if you have one. Like kitchens, bathrooms are often a big selling point. Consider adding a whirlpool or spa tub in your master suite bathroom. Additionally, double sinks, separate multiple jet showers and a separate toilet room are all value adding features. Just remember to update your water pipes if necessary.
4Open up some rooms so that you have more of an open plan space. Create a spacious feel to your home by knocking down a few walls. Make sure that you take into account which wall secures the foundation before making plans, and work around it. You can add an attractive pillar if it's secure enough and fits the character of your home. Discuss your options with an accredited contractor before making any drastic decisions.
5Ensure that your flooring is up to date and in good condition. If you have hardwood flooring, take full advantage of it. Real hardwood flooring can increase home value substantially, especially if you have it throughout your home. Finish it to prime condition and add throw rugs for a little color and warmth if it gets cold in the winter. New carpeting or high quality laminate flooring are also options. Opt for natural colors and materials that go with everything.
6Finish your basement. If you have an unfinished basement, consider finishing it and creating an extra room. This will always add value to a home, so the investment will be worth it. You can even keep it simple by just finishing the walls and carpeting the floor.
7Landscape your yard. In the summer months a landscaped yard is an extra place to spend time. Groom your yard; add some native trees, if you have the room, and some flowering shrubs. You don't have to spend too much money. Just bring your yard up to the standards of the neighborhood and show off its potential.
8Add a deck. Even if you have a large yard, a deck is appealing and improves home value. If you don't have a yard, then a deck offers a space to enjoy the outdoors.
Community Q&A
Ask a Question
- Remember that there is a limit to how much your home value can increase because the homes in your neighborhood will influence the price. Put as much work as is necessary and no more, because at some point the price will stop growing no matter what you add. You may want to discuss ways to add value to your home with a realtor or an appraiser so that you don't waste any money.
- Never renovate your home to a point where you cannot afford it. For example, if you use all your home's equity to pay for renovations and the price of homes decreases, you will be left with higher payments. Value should be added within your budget.

April 10, 2006
Stanford, Calif. - Six Cardinal seniors finished their careers on the Stanford campus on a high note tonight, leading the women's lacrosse team to a decisive 20-6 victory over UC Davis. The win was the 18th in history and the 12th straight over the Aggies. Stanford improves to 6-5 overall and 3-1 in the MPSF with the conference victory, and positions itself for a chance at a share of its fourth straight MPSF title. UC Davis falls to 6-6 on the season and 0-4 in conference play.
Stanford took control of the match from the beginning, scoring four goals in the first eight minutes and holding the Aggies scoreless for nearly 19 minutes. Megan Burker began her last game at Maloney Field with two quick goals to lead the 5-0 opening run. Freshman Eri Ichikawa ended the Aggie drought with an unassisted goal with 11:19 left to play in the opening half. The Cardinal answered with two goals by junior Bryanne Gilkinson and sophomore Daphne Patterson, however, to take a 7-1 lead. UC Davis managed to net two more goals before the break, but both were answered promptly by Burker. The Cardinal finished the first half with a solid 9-3 lead.
Burker's night continued in the second half, as she tacked up her fifth goal of the match within 52 seconds of the opening draw. UC Davis scored two more to pull within five, but the Cardinal quickly ended any thoughts of a comeback with a 10-1 run over the final 20 minutes of play.
In its last home match, the Stanford squad was led by none other than its six seniors. Burker led the team in scoring with a career-high six goals, which tied a single-game Stanford record and moved her into second place on the Stanford career scoring chart. Senior Sarah Bach notched her fourth multiple-goal game of the year with a hat trick, while senior Kinsey Morrison recorded her first career assist along with a team-high three caused turnovers. Thea Lorentzen and Nyerr Parham combined for four ground balls and four caused turnovers and goalkeeper Kate Horowitz recorded two saves in 30 minutes of action.
Along with the combined nine goals of Burker and Bach, Patterson scored three for the Cardinal to tally her fourth hat trick of the year. Junior Liz Piselli and sophomore Megan McClain each knocked in two for Stanford, as well. The Cardinal scoring was rounded out by single goals from Gilkinson, freshman Bis Fries, junior Michelle DeChant and sophomore Anna Brown. UC Davis was led by a freshman duo in Ichikawa and Patrice Clark, who combined for five of the Aggies' six goals. Of note, the Cardinal defense held Katie McMahon, the third leading scorer in the nation, to just one goal.
Stanford travels to Denver, Colo. this weekend to battle the University of Denver Pioneers for a share of the regular-season MPSF title. The match is set for 1 p.m. (MDT) Saturday at Pioneer Field on the Denver campus.

Geneva Airport Transfers
The Swiss city of Geneva is famous for many things: cuckoo clocks, hosting the UN H.Q, and being one of the world's top three cities for quality of life (according to the 2007 Worldwide Quality of Living Survey by Mercer Human Resource Center). But it's Geneva's prime location between the Alps and the Jura mountains that have made it a favourite destination for skiers and snowboarders from all over Europe.
There are almost 100 ski resorts between one and three hours drive from Geneva, scattered around Switzerland itself as well as in neighbouring France and Italy, accessible either via car or by the highly efficient and punctual rail system.
Geneva has long been known as a destination for British skiers who fly to the city before catching a transfer to their favourites such as: Morzine, Zermatt, Wengen, Verbier Meribel, Val Thorens, Courmayeur and a whole host of other renowned resorts.
With so many different ski resorts so close to Geneva, there is plenty of choice for all types of trips. If you're looking for lively après ski (think plenty of dancing to Europop in ski boots atop bar tables), then head for a high energy ski town like Val D'isere. For a quieter, more family orientated trip, Les Gets, part of the Portes du Soleil ski area is an ideal choice, and being only 1h15 from Geneva it's perfect if you've got young children on board.
Chamonix is a popular choice for advanced skiers or snowboarders seeking steep slopes, deep powder, challenging terrain and off piste adventures. And if you're after the typical chocolate box architecture and quaint alpine charm, Gstaad should hit the spot.
There are also dozens of less well known, but never the less, interesting ski areas, not so renowned on the international ski circuit but very popular with local skiers, such as Chamrousse (France), San (Sicario) Italty or (Zinal) Switzerland.
In recent years the number of flights to Geneva has vastly increased as more airlines have opened new routes to the city, increasing competition and driving down prices.
As a gateway to the ski resorts of the Alps, Geneva also attracts outdoor enthusiasts who come to live and work in the city and then escape to the mountains at weekends. And even those who don't ski will find Geneva's vast mix of restaurants, top boutique shopping, theatres and museums a compelling draw.

Adams, Kilgo, Teltumde Earn Preseason ITA Rankings
Rashmi Teltumbde, Kenna Kilgo and Samantha Adams enter the season nationally ranked.
September 11, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas – The Intercollegiate Tennis Association preseason rankings came out, with three Texas Tech women earning national rankings to start the season.
The doubles tandem of Samantha Adams and Kenna Kilgo enter the 2012-13 season as the No. 6 team in the nation. It is the highest doubles preseason ranking for any Texas Tech women's doubles team ever. The duo finished last season ranked 15th nationally. The duo ended the season 25-8 and started the spring No. 45 and climbed 30 spots as the season progressed. They are just the second doubles tandem from Texas Tech to ever earn an invitation to the NCAA Individual Championships.
In singles, Adams, who went 21-15 last season, garnered a ranking of No. 76 in the preseason national rankings after finishing last season ranked No. 112 nationally. Adams' No. 112 national ranking last spring was the highest year-end finish for a Lady Raider since Irena Tereschenko closed out the 2004 season ranked No. 106.
Rashmi Teltumbde also earned a preseason ranking in singles, entering the ITA women's poll at No. 105. Teltumbde spent several weeks in the ITA Top 125 last season after compiling a 14-9 record.

She's a gay old gal and she's got plenty of aches and pains. She asks for your help.
Nancy, I need to comfort my poor old bones. Can you tell me the best places to get soup. Not just a restaurant but maybe someplace that sells it in larger quantities? I'm no gourmet. I buy the crud from the deli at Tom Thumb and it's so salty. Thanks.
Crud from Tom Thumb? Wow, a critic to boot. I could think of a few places to tell her but that is your job. Get to it.

A surgeon is accused of often slapping his patients on the rear end after they were under anesthesia and right before they went under his knife. While he slapped their buttocks he also had the tendency to insult the patients who were not aware of this because they were knocked out ready for surgery, reports ABC News on April 7.
These slaps often left red marks and even hand prints on the bottoms of the people who were about to undergo a hip replacement. Federal investigators were contacted in January when a complaint was filed with the state health department.
The orthopedic surgeon accused of these odd behaviors is Michael Clarke, whose specialty is hip replacements. The hospital where he works also faces sanctions over his behavior. They are in jeopardy of losing the Medicare and Medicaid programs.
St. Joseph's Hospital Health Center is the facility where the doctor is accused of performing these actions. The basis for the federal report in this matter were the findings of the state health department's investigation. The hospital could be in some trouble for letting this go on without reporting the doctor's actions.
The surgeon is also accused of using some very graphic words while in the operating room. Along with the foul language he also had a habit of calling patients fat and commenting on the way they looked. This made others in the operating room uncomfortable.
Clarke said that he would slap the patients to make sure the anesthesia was working, but the medical staff working with him said they have never seen another doctor do this.The attorney for Clarke conveys that his client denies wrongdoing in this case.

Game operations personnel also announced it will use the following criteria regarding permitting bags inside the stadium. At each gate entering the stadium, a metal box, measuring 14 inches (long) by 14 inches (wide) by 8 inches (thick) will be located. Customer bags (with contents) must fit within the confines of that box, and are subject to inspection. Contents of bags must comply with stadium policies (no outside food or beverages).
A few changes this year will also impact parking and traffic:
Parking at the Thad Cochran Research and Economic Development Park (across Highway 182 north of campus) is now serviced as a paid parking lot, similar to other pay lots on the campus. The charge will be $20 per vehicle, but will provide increased security presence, restroom facilities, and will maintain its complimentary shuttle service.
Roads surrounding the stadium will close four hours prior to kickoff, one hour earlier than a year ago, and the CSpire Wireless Fan Zone will open three hours prior to kickoff.
New food and beverage opportunities will be available on the campus in the Colvard Student Union and at the State Fountain Bakery.
A one-stop shop for tailgaters called "Game Day Central" will open at the corner of Creelman Street and Stone Boulevard, where MSU Dining orders and supplies can be picked up.
The Lot 2 parking area (north end zone) has been moved across the street behind Memorial Hall due to the expansion and renovation construction.
Bulldog Club Lot B has been moved to the South Entrance at the Lloyd Ricks Building, just south and east of the stadium.
Paid Handicap Parking has been moved behind McCarthy Gymnasium and behind Perry Cafeteria near the center of campus.
Lot 18 (Barnes and Noble) has been altered due to site prep and "laydown" for the expansion and renovation of Davis Wade Stadium. It has reduced Lot 18 vehicle capacity by about 65 cars. Those vehicles will be directed to an overflow area in the grass lot just west of Lot 18 where the media has parked previously.
Lot 19 has been moved to the new paved parking lot behind Newell-Grissom, where volleyball competes.
General public parking immediately in front of the Mississippi State University Police Station, immediately east of Davis Wade Stadium, is no longer permitted.
An additional 600 spaces of paid general parking west of the Vet School, south of the stadium, will be in use.
Fans are reminded that golf cart shuttles will transport you to and from the stadium on game day. Call the Parking Assistance Center (PAC) at 325-9114.
In the event
of inclement weather, which is a possibility this weekend, parking could be
further affected. Fans are asked be patient as we work around both the progress
surrounding the stadium and the weather issues.
Prior to game day, the Junction will open for tent placement at tailgate sites at 4 p.m. Friday, which is one hour earlier than previous seasons.

PROS / The sleek design of the Klipsch Gallery G-17 gives the speakers a futurist feel and look.
CONS / The sound is not quite as powerful as the best AirPlay speaker system.
VERDICT / The AirPlay speaker is a phenomenal option for the casual listener and audiophile alike.
When Klipsch released the Gallery G-17, it raised the bar for the sound quality and sheer beauty of AirPlay speakers. Rather than sacrificing some sound quality for looks and style, this AirPlay speaker has some of the most advanced options and stellar sound quality – all in a neatly packaged speaker box. AirPlay allows you to connect your Apple and iOS devices directly to the speakers over a standard Wi-Fi connection. This means you won't have to worry about Bluetooth ranges or radio frequency connections while you enjoy the beauty of wireless sound. The terrific options and outstanding design make the Klipsch Gallery G-17 our Top Ten Reviews Silver Award winner.
This AirPlay speaker is just a simple soundbar, so the sound quality is somewhat limited. However, it is just about as powerful and crystal clear as you could expect from a single-speaker unit.
The AirPlay sound system is bi-amplified and uses a pair of 2.5-inch Klipsch long-throw woofers, which are rated for 20 watts each, and two .75-inch tweeters, rated for 10-watts each. All of that is wrapped inside a bass-reflex enclosure, which is readily apparent. The sound quality rating usually extends its maximum performance up to 12 feet. However, these powerful little AirPlay-compatible speakers have no trouble filling an average-sized living room or apartment. There simply isn't much competition for the Klipsch Gallery G-17 speakers.
AirPlay wireless speaker systems are AirPlay-enabled speakers. This means you can download a simple app to your phone or mobile device to connect it to your AirPlay speakers. You'll have to connect your speakers to the internet via your iOS device, but you can do this by linking them with a simple USB cord. After you establish a connection, you can go wireless. The app download information is listed on the product information packets.
After you install the app and connect your phone or other device to the AirPlay speakers, the range is as far as your Wi-Fi signal extends. Unlike wireless speakers that connect via Bluetooth or radio frequency, you won't have to be in sight of the speakers or have a limited amount of space to move around in. The phone or device becomes the remote for the AirPlay speaker.
The AirPlay speaker system comes with a wall mount and a small plastic frame. The overall design is quite stunning, and the speaker has a powerful set of drivers. There is even a place to charge your iPod, iPhone or other device while the music is playing.
The most common and best use for the speakers is connecting them to the device on which you store your music collection via an AirPlay connection. This allows any iOS device to connect to the speaker wirelessly, without any loss in sound quality. The AirPlay connection is simple, quick and can be used with all other types of media. Rather than using your iPhone or iPad's built-in speaker set to watch a Netflix movie, you can connect to the AirPlay speakers for high-quality sound to go with the high-quality movies. Whatever media you use, these wireless speakers are a perfect companion. There is also an auxiliary port available on the G-17 to connect other devices, or if your Wi-Fi connection is on the fritz. The type of connection does not affect the sound quality of the best AirPlay speakers, including these.
The Klipsch AirPlay speakers are extremely simple to set up and use. It's very unlikely that you'll need any extra help or support. However, should you encounter a problem with your AirPlay speakers, there are product manuals, as well as email and phone support options. There is a limited one-year warranty on the unit.
The Klipsch Gallery G-17 is simply one of the best AirPlay speakers available. It has an impressive design and astounding sound quality. The AirPlay speakers are convenient and provide one of the biggest sounds we've heard from a soundbar speaker set. Klipsch's customer support is terrific, and you'll love the sleek and modern design.

Seven years ago, I felt the Earth changes happening more powerfully than ever.
They disturbed me on every level, and eventually when it became so overwhelming, I realized that perhaps it was not just I who was suffering but the very world around me......M.E. herself. I sat down alone in nature, with a pen and paper, and asked the Earth Mother....
"what is it you are trying to tell me?"
And this is what she said.....

Life is the most amazing adventure....... and the discoveries are profound and precious..... If I can express this in any small way through my art and writing, then I am justified, if I can make this world a better place in any small way while I am here, then I am fulfilled.

The Hunger Games
by Suzanne Collins
Strength and Skill Quotes in The Hunger Games
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #1
The bow and arrow is my weapon. But I've spent a fair amount of time throwing knives as well. Sometimes, if I've wounded an animal with an arrow, it's better to get a knife into it, too, before I approach it. I realize that if I want Haymitch's attention, this is my moment to make an impression. I yank the knife out of the table, get a grip on the blade, and then throw it into the wall across the room. (4.48)
As an experienced hunter, Katniss is skilled with a bow and arrow, as well as a knife. How will these skills help her in the Games? What other strengths does she have? What are her weaknesses?
Quote #2
I can't win. Prim must know that in her heart. The competition will be far beyond my abilities. Kids from wealthier districts, where winning is a huge honor, who've been trained their whole lives for this. Boys who are two to three times my size. Girls who know twenty different ways to kill you with a knife. Oh, there'll be people like me, too. People to weed out before the real fun begins. (3.13)
Much as in the reaping, the Hunger Games favor the richer district: those who can afford the time and training it takes to compete. What strengths does Katniss have, though, that the wealthier kids don't?
Quote #3
"And you're good?" asks Haymitch.
I have to think about it. I've been putting food on the table for four years. That's no small task. I'm not as good as my father was, but he'd had more practice. I've better aim than Gale, but I've had more practice. He's a genius with traps and snares. "I'm all right," I say.
"She's excellent," says Peeta. "My father buys her squirrel. He always comments on how the arrows never pierce the body. She hits every one in the eye." (7.19-21)
Katniss can kill her own food – and she's a remarkable shot.
