Cullimore good to go
Just talked to GM Jacques Martin. He said newly signed defenseman Jassen Cullimore is expected to arrive here in South Florida tonight and will practice tommorrow. So it appears he's ready to play Saturday.
Also, Martin said Gregory Campbell's MRI showed no serious damage. It'll be a matter of Campbell being healthy enough to handle playing with pain. And Stephen Weiss (groin) definitely won't play Saturday or Sunday, Martin added.

Review: Forgotten
Title: Forgotten
Author: Cat Patrick
Format: Hardcover, 288 pages
Publisher: Little Brown Books for Young Readers
Release Date: June 7th, 2011
Shannon's Rating: 3 out of 5 HEARTS
Received Finished copy for review from Little Brown
Synopsis from Goodreads
Each night when 16 year-old London Lane goes to sleep, her whole world disappears. In the morning, all that's left is a note telling her about a day she can't remember. The whole scenario doesn't exactly make high school or dating that hot guy whose name she can't seem to recall any easier. But when London starts experiencing disturbing visions she can't make sense of, she realizes it's time to learn a little more about the past she keeps forgetting-before it destroys her future.
Shannon's Always Spoiler-Free* Review (*unless otherwise noted)
Forgotten was a novel that I was extremely excited to read due to its unique premise and while its uniqueness does hold true; the mystery behind London's visions and the ending left me very underwhelmed.
Although I felt slightly disoriented at the start of the novel, author Cat Patrick quickly helps explain how London's memory resets and all the complications she endures because of it. I really liked London and how determined she is. She has to work 10 times hard then everyone else because she can't ever remember what she's learned or done the day before. Also even though she did some things that really frustrated me, I liked that London wasn't perfect. I think it would have been really easy to make her always do the right thing because of how much her memory handicaps her.
When London first meets Luke its instant fireworks. He's cute, mysteries and makes her feel both elated and confused. I particular enjoyed the scene between the two of them in the van, its very innocent, beautiful and funny. However, even though I liked Luke he felt more like what a cute boy in a YA novel should be, instead of a well rounded, deep and layered character of his own. Luke is charming, funny, thoughtful, understanding and...just to perfect. Does that make sense? The more I got to know him, the more unrealistic he seemed and that really distracted me.
While I did enjoy the way we got to see the relationship between London and Luke develop, I felt that the novel relied to heavily on it instead of focusing more on the mystery behind London's visions. The visions themselves are part of a key plot point that seems to come out of nowhere since much of that storyline felt kind of like an afterthought. This was the strangest thing for me to wrap my head around because it turns out to be such a HUGE twist and it deserved much more attention then it got. Further complicating the matter is that 90 pages before the end of the novel, the truth behind the visions is revealed and then its a rush to explain everything before the novel's finish. This makes the ending feel very disjointed and abrupt, since at only 288 pages I think the ending could have been better explained and wrapped up.
Although I didn't enjoy it as much as I was hoping too and some of the plot felt underdeveloped I did appreciate the quicker pace and original premise. Fans of contemporary or paranormal novels might really enjoy this one due to the romance and memory resetting but mystery fans should probably skip this one.

Good review Shan. I think you explained your feelings on the book very well. Also I totally get your "just to perfect" comment!ReplyDelete
I have been seeing a lot of mixed reviews on this one. While the premise does sound very interesting I don't like the fact that they rush things at the end!ReplyDelete

JWC TO JEANNIE WELSH ; 6 December 1843; DOI: 10.1215/lt-18431206-JWC-JW-01; CL 17: 200-202
Wednesday [6 December 1843]
Yes yes dearest Babbie I kiss you and "forgive" you—since forgive is your word: tho between ourselves my mind is not exactly made up which of us has the most need to be forgiven. Geraldine writes to me yesterday: "in business matters people must be hard, stern and sometimes unreasonable—I mean; not admitting excuses and making allowances for shortcomings"— I suppose it was a feeling of this necessity, altho I had not made it into a theory for myself, that put me on the measure of "writing at you"—not that friendly correspondence is usually viewed as a "business-matter"—but for us who have nothing to do with the "cotton trade" or the "Agricultural interest" or any other great world-business—letter-writing is as near an approximation to a business-matter as anything we take in hand. I must not write you a long letter today for I have a rush of things laying violent claim to my time and faculty, illustrating for a millionth time the proverb that "it never rains but it pours"—a few lines however I must send you to bid you be of goodcheer my dear Babbie—for my displeasure is only inverse affection—and also to tell you that my cold is quite gone—indeed I am happy to have had something sharp in the way of illness for I had been going on a great many weeks with a general feeling of malaise which was taking all spirit and sense out of me and which I felt could not be got rid of without a crisis— Now I hope to be better than I was before the going to bed—and do not you fancy that I would be either so forgetful of my promise or of my own interest as to be either "dying or near dying" or at all seriously ill without telling you, and calling on you to come and help me tho you were at the furthest end of the Kingdom—but I have always an inner feeling when I am seriously ill quite different from that which attends a passing illness however painful for the time being and I had none of that presentiment on this occasion—I knew that it was only "a summing up of many things" (chiefly moral) as Mazzini declares his face to be—and that the rest and quiet of bed would bring me speedily round.— Oh dear me Babbie I am very anxious and sorrowful about Mazzini—after many entreaties he has at last begun to take care—some care of himself but god knows whether it be not too late— He went with Toynbee yesterday to a consultation with Hawkins the chief surgeon of St George's Hospital—who probed the wound and declared it to be already at the bone—and John Carlyle told me again last Sunday night "that if it reached the bone nothing could hinder its becoming a cancer"— "Well" says Mazzini but my dear—even if it does—there can still you know be an operation"!!— such comfort! and this he said to me today as calmly, as if he had been speaking of a hole in his coat!—he went yesterday and had a tooth drawn by order of his new surgeon to see if nature would turn the matter perhaps into that course1—and came here today all the way from Queen Square where he now lives!2 and when I scolded him for coming, he said "well but since the tooth was pulled upon my honour the wound has not discharged any thing"— I could not help crying half the time he stayed—he looks so emaciated and so calm! if his Mother were near or any human being to nurse him I should not mind so much but he has nobody but poor helpless me—helpless because the accursed conventionalties of this world would make it disgraceful to go and nurse one's dearest friend if he happened to be a young man— A strange thing took place at the association3 the other night— so pathetic and at the same time almost ridiculous. After Mazzini had made a short speech—pleading his inability to speak more at one time— A workingman took the chair and moved a resolution that "Mr Mazzini should be—laid under obligation to take care of himself! his life being not his own but Italy's property that CONSTRAINT should be exercised if necessary for his preservation"—the sensible working man!—and then he proceeded to move the details of his resolution—firstly for instance that if the Dr considered quiet necessary that an Italian-guard should be in constant attendance at his door to prevent any one passing in to him—&c &c and this movement was followed by a deputation of Italian men waiting on Dr Toynbee to ask what particulars of treatment he wished to have ENFORCED.
The only comfort is that he does now begin to feel himself the insanity of neglecting his health to the same extent as formerly— God grant the sense may not have come too late.
I have no spirits to write about anything else after this—besides that I have already written longer than my other botherations left time for— Pray do write a few lines to Mazzini—any kindness always cheers him poor fellow and the shortest note will be better than none—his address is 47 Devonshire Street Queen Square and for the love of heaven if you stay longer in Glasgow send me your address4—dont you see I have to send all my letters round by Liverpool which puts off time—to be sure I might have told you sooner without trusting to your drawing the inference. Ever your

Never realized the PB G4′s needed to be so fully ripped apart just to get at the HD.
I recently replaced the stock HD in my 2007 white MacBook and all I had to do was remove the battery and one small metal strip to get at the HD. Took maybe 7 min total.
BTW.. I find it good practice to not have open beverages around computer hardware. Especially when it's all so bare in this state. Your beer or not.. it shouldn't be so close by just waiting to be tipped over.

[http://www.flickr.com/photos/zen_state] Oh yeah, I've ripped hard drives out of dead MacBooks and it's super-easy. I don't know WTF Apple was thinking with the PowerBook.
And I have the same practice with beverages—like I said above, I didn't realize it was there until I saw this picture. Luckily it was just there for 10 seconds or so.

Focused Genetic Analyses Seek To Improve...
Opioid Epidemic Is Not the Only...
The Epigenetics Field Is Granular and...
As Frequent Travelers Go, Viruses Are...
Telormedix is teaming up with the Swiss Tropical and Public Health Institute (Swiss TPH) for a pilot study that aims to evaluate the firm's TMX-201 adjuvant as part of developmental immunization strategies against malaria and Buruli ulcer. The pilot studies, to be carried out by researchers at the Swiss TPH, will compare Telormedix' TMX-201 adjuvant with conventional adjuvant in combination with either a Plasmodium falciparum antigen candidate or a Mycobacterium ulcerans antigen candidate.
Telormedix is focused on developing drugs that harness the innate immune system for the treatment of cancer and autoimmune diseases. The firm's adjuvant pipeline includes TMX-201 and other second- generation TLR7 molecules.
Lead therapeutic candidate, TMX-101, started in Phase I/II clinical development in June for the treatment of localized bladder cancer. The drug comprises a known immunomodulatory molecule that Telormedix says has a favorable safety profile and a demonstrated clinical efficacy in oncological and viral diseases. The firm has taken advantage of existing regulatory data and clinical experience to speed TMX-101 through preclinical development and into human trials.
Telormedix' second therapeutic candidate TMX-202 is a second-generation small molecule TLR7 molecule in preclinical development for the topical treatment of skin cancers, bladder cancers, and other indications. Discovered through a collaboration with the University of California San Diego, TMX-202 has already successfully completed a number of in vivo studies, the firm explains. Its third therapeutic program, designated TMX-30X, is focused on developing candidates for treating autoimmune diseases.

Jon Peddie Research Luncheon at SIGGRAPH
Jon Peddie Research will be attending SIGGRAPH and hosting a luncheon for press and analysts about how changes in graphics hardware and software is effecting the scientific research community.
In the old days (just a few years ago and still today) researchers – in scientific (think molecular studies like protein), entertainment (think amazing movies or games), or industrial (think FEA) would launch or commission a horrendous calculation run that could take from weeks to years depending upon resources and research. When the results came back they would then send the file(s) to the visualizer. Then when the renders were done the researchers would complain and tell the visualizer to do them over and make them look like this…
If you can't make it, don't worry. VizWorld will have staff attending the event, with a full write-up posted afterwards.

The LabBox Grower is a fully contained hydroponic grow box, that utilizes an automated drip system and high powered LEDs to deliver what you need to grow your own plant, herbs, and medicine at home.
Driven by a PicAxe 14M micro-controller and preprogrammed with different schedules, the grow box can also be connected to the internet for the remote management of temperature, water and light cycles through a browser or mobile phone.
Another feature allows for the LabBox Server to be Twitter enabled, providing you with periodic updates on.
- Current Temperature Readings
- Light, Pump and Fan Statuses
- Low Reservoir Notifications
- High-Low Temperature Notification
You can envision that the next step in this products connectivity would be to create ideal growing "recipes" of temperature, light and moisture readings and exchange these online with other community members to increase the efficiency of each crop.
As of today it looks like this project has been put on hold due to the lack of activity on the blogs and forum but if you want to learn more about the PocketGrow system you can still follow @PocketGrow or visit:http://pocketgrow.com.

Since the first version of 1,001 Arabian Nights appeared in the ninth century, there have been hundreds of variations on the tale of a newlywed Persian or Arabian queen who prevents her former cuckold of a husband from killing her by spinning tales too fascinating to allow her murder.
Winnipeg playwright Heather Forgie frames the familiar story the way Tom Stoppard dealt with Hamlet: Scheherezade is out of the picture. Instead, her sisters Tamineh and Dunyazade — actors Rachel Hiebert and Hope Figueroa — meditate upon the concepts of misogyny, sacrifice and forgiveness, ostensibly in the medieval Middle East. The subtext is entirely modern.
Forgie, as Scheherezade, dances behind a screen between scenes. Only pacing issues and some repetition mar the hour-long production.
— Bartley Kives

Philip and I toured Europe for three months while living out of the back of our car. This book is a compilation of the blog entries and photographs we posted en-route. It gives a detailed account of our journey through six European countries, and the adventures we found there - both good and bad alike. Not all turned out as planned, and as you will discover in the chapters that follow, the greatest challenge of the trip was not finding experiences, but knowing how to respond to them.

Item Reviewed: Princess Diaries 2-Movie Blu-ray Combo Pack
Mia Thermopolis is the average teenager – sweet, a little geeky and pretty much invisible to everyone with the exception of her mother, best friend Lilly and Lilly's older brother Michael. Making it through high school without throwing up is a challenge in itself for Mia, so it doesn't come as welcome news when her estranged grandmother shows up out of the blue and calmly informs her that she is in fact the heir to the throne of a European country called Genovia. Suddenly Mia's life is thrown into complete overload. She's being taught about scarves, waves and pears in order to become a perfect princess, she gets a makeover and a tough looking yet sweet bodyguard/limo driver called Joe. Things get out of hand when the media gets a hold of the story and suddenly Mia is thrust into the spotlight in both the newspapers and in school. On top of all that Mia has a choice to make. She must decide by Genovia's Independence Day Ball whether she longs to relinquish her claim on the throne or to become the princess and heir to the throne and father and grandmother want her to be.

My Thoughts
The Princess Diaries titles are favorites in my house, from Ann Hathaway to Julie Andrews these are top movies to treasure chock full of great stars! Both my girls love these movies and I love them too and sharing them on family movie night is a great way to spend the time with them. I love the storyline in both of these movies and adore Anne Hathaway playing the princess. My youngest is now telling people that she wants to be a princess just like Mia. We all love the bloopers, a favorite of ours on any Blu-ray because they show the actors in funny ways. We also loved the Breakaway music video by Kelly Clarkson, it is a favorite song of my older daughter's and myself and loved that it was included on the Blu-ray. The Princess Diaries 2-Movie Blu-ray Combo Pack is a must have in your movie library!!!

Kim Kardashian's new app, "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood", is proving that her famous assets aren't her only moneymakers. Kim is reportedly going to earn $85 million this year from her video game app as the game is on record to make a total of $200 million in its first year. Not a bad gig.
The plot for "Kim Kardashian: Hollywood" has a relatively simple concept. Players learn to dress and live a lifestyle of stardom in order to become an A-list celebrity. Basically, gamers are living the life of the "KUWTK" star and becoming famous along the way, climbing the celebrity ladder if you will.
So to answer your question, yes this mindless game is helping Kim K triple her earnings from last year. Looks like new Mrs. West is quite the savvy business woman and proves that any video she's featured in really rakes in the bucks. Something tells us there are plans for spin-offs, sequels and the involvement of her sisters. Her manager (or momager) is Kris Jenner after all, the savviest of the entire family.
If you don't have plans to play the game you can still catch Kim and her krazy family on "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" as season 9 is in full swing and airs every Sunday night on the E! network; which already earns Kim millions per season along with her numerous other business ventures (Kardashian Kollection, magazine covers, appearances her perfumes, etc…).
What are your thoughts on this latest Kardashian business venture? Will you be playing? Leave your answers in the comments section below.

Lens Development
By Leos Kral
In order to better understand what cataracts are and how different types of cataracts are named, it is necessary to not only understand the anatomy of the eye lens but also how the lens develops. This article describes the main process of lens development.
During embryonic development, the lens first takes form as a hollow ball of cells as shown in the drawing below. Note that each cell contains a nucleus which contains chromosomes that contain DNA, the genetic material. The ball of cells is oriented in the developing eye in such a way that one surface is pointing toward the outside of the eye and the opposite surface is pointing toward the interior of the eye. The outside facing surface is the anterior side of the developing lens and the inside facing surface is the posterior side of the developing lens. Note that the cells are surrounded by a capsule of proteinaceus material. This lens capsule surrounds both the developing lens as well as the adult lens but is not shown in most of the following drawings.
The first step in lens development is the elongation of the posterior cells into the cavity towards the anterior cell layer. The elongating cells form the primary lens fibers. As the cells elongate, they also make a large quantity of a variety of proteins called crystallins. These proteins will become the primary structural component of each primary lens fiber.
The primary lens fibers soon loose their nuclei and other cellular organelles and become inert structures as indicated by a change in color from gray to blue (see drawing below). Note, however, the anterior cells persist in the developing lens as a living single layer of cells along the anterior surface. These cells will continue to divide and the cells along the edges (such as the red cell) will begin to form secondary lens fibers.
To form secondary lens fibers, the anterior cells at the edges of the cell layer begin to grow as shown in the drawing below. Specifically, the red cells at the top and bottom edges begin to form secondary lens fibers by elongating along the posterior surface of the primary lens fibers. These cells also elongate along the anterior surface of the primary lens fibers, between the primary lens fibers and the anterior layer of cells. As the red cells are elongating note that the next cells (colored light brown) are getting ready to also elongate.
In the drawing below the red cells have finishes forming the secondary lens fibers. Note that these secondary lens fibers form a complete ring around the primary lens fibers. The brown colored cells are elongating to form additional secondary lens fibers forming a second ring around the primary lens fibers. Note that the next set of cells (colored bright red) are getting ready to also elongate. Also note that the anterior cells have multiplied by cell division. This is necessary because new cells must be made available for secondary lens fiber formation and the layer of cells must continue to cover the entire anterior side of the developing lens as the lens increases in size.
The drawing below shows that two secondary lens fibers have formed and a third secondary lens fiber is elongating. This process repeats over and over until many layers of secondary fibers have formed. As the secondary fibers grow and mature, they also make a large quantity of a variety of proteins called crystallins. These proteins will become the primary structural component of each secondary lens fiber.
The last drawing below shows a developed lens. Note that the anterior cells continued to multiply as the lens grew in size thus an anterior cell layer continues to cover the entire anterior surface of the lens. The original primary lens fibers persist to form the nucleus (light blue) of the lens and the cortex of secondary lens fibers has increased in size to become the majority of lens material. For reference, the three original secondary lens fibers are color coded to the previous drawings. Newer lens fibers are colored darker blue. Note that only the outer most secondary lens fibers contain nuclei. As the secondary fibers produce more crystalline proteins and mature, they lose their nuclei and other cellular organelles and become inert structures.
New secondary lens fibers continue to form throughout the life of the individual. While the lens does not increase significantly in size in the adult, the density of secondary lens fibers increases. This also cause some compression of the primary lens fiber nucleus.

|呢篇文或者呢段要 翻譯(或者由 en:Wikipedia:Policies_and_guidelines 加料)。
Our goal with Wikipedia is to create a free encyclopedia. Hence it is common on Wikipedia for policy itself to be debated on talk pages, on Wikipedia: namespace pages, on the mailing lists, on Meta Wikimedia, and on IRC chat. Everyone is welcome to participate. / 譯:
「 我哋響維 基百科嘅目標係整本自由嘅百科全書。所以喺討論版、計劃空間、電郵、元維基、互聯網駁信管度 辯論 維基百科政策好尋常。歡迎大家參與。」 ----Larry Sanger
雖然我們哋會尊重大家嘅共識,維基百科唔係民主組織,管理亦有時前後不一。 Hence there is disagreement between those who believe rules should be explicitly stated and those who feel that written rules are inherently inadequate to cover every possible variation of problematic or disruptive behavior. In either case, a user who acts against the spirit of our written policies may be reprimanded, even if technically no rule has been violated.
However those who edit in good faith, show civility, seek consensus, and work towards the goal of creating a great encyclopedia should find a welcoming environment. Wikipedia greatly appreciates additions that help all people.
你唔使睇完維基百科每項政策先開始寫嘢。 However, the following policies are particularly important to the project, and the sooner you understand and use them, the better:
- 維基百科係部百科全書. Its goals go no further, and material that does not fit this goal must be moved to another 維基媒體 project or removed altogether. (See What Wikipedia is not)
- 尊重 other contributors. Wikipedia contributors come from many different countries and cultures, and have widely different views. Treating others with respect is key to collaborating effectively in building an encyclopedia. (See Wikipedia:Civility, Wikipedia:Etiquette, Dispute resolution.)
- 唔好侵犯版權 維基百科係部自由嘅百科全書 licensed under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License. Submitting work which infringes copyrights threatens our objective to build a truly free encyclopedia that anyone can redistribute, and could lead to legal problems. (See Wikipedia copyrights) (This too is a Foundation issue that applies to all Wikimedia Foundation projects.)
- 避開偏見 Articles should be written from a neutral point of view, representing all views on a subject, factually and objectively, in an order which is agreeable to a common consensus. (This is a Foundation issue that applies to all Wikimedia Foundation projects.)
- 五柱: a quick rundown of the 5 key rules you need to start editing. Don't worry, it's easy.
- 簡化規矩: 16 rules of thumb to help you avoid problems.
- 政策一覽: A comprehensive list of the 42 official policies with very quick summaries.
Every policy and guideline is listed in one of the following categories:
- Category:Wikipedia official policy: policies that are widely accepted and that everyone is expected to follow.
- Category:Wikipedia guidelines: less rigid rules of thumb that are generally accepted by consensus to apply in many cases.
How are policies started?[編輯]
Policy change now comes from three sources:
- The codification of current convention and common practice. These are proposals that document the way Wikipedia works. Of course, a single user cannot dictate what common practice is, but writing down the common results of a well-used process is a good way of making policy.
- A proposed policy being adopted by consensus. (See Wikipedia:How to create policy). These are usually proposals to change the way Wikipedia works.
- Declarations from Jimmy Wales, the Board, or the Developers, particularly for copyright, legal issues, or server load.
Currently proposed and previously rejected policies can be found in these categories:
- Category:Wikipedia proposals: ideas for new policies
- Category:Wikipedia rejected proposals: rejected or abandoned ideas for policies
政策、 指引、評論文(essay)等嘅分別[編輯]
- A 指引 is any page that is: (1) actionable and (2) authorized by consensus. Guidelines are not set in stone and should be treated with common sense and the occasional exception. Amendments to a guideline should be discussed on its talk page, not on a new page - although it's generally acceptable to edit a guideline to improve it. People are sometimes tempted to call a vote on a guideline, but this is a bad idea because it polarizes the issue (see WP:VIE for details). Instead, a guideline is made by listening to objections and resolving them.
- A naming convention or Manual of Style entry is a specific kind of guideline, related to proper naming, or the way articles should be written.
- A 政策 is similar to a guideline, only more official and less likely to have exceptions. As with guidelines, amendments should generally be discussed on their talk pages, but are sometimes forked out if large in scope. One should not generally edit policy without seeking consensus first.
- A process is a central and organized way of doing things, generally following certain policies or guidelines (e.g. the "deletion policy" tells us how the "deletion process" works)
- A proposal is any suggested guideline, policy or process for which no consensus has been reached, as long as discussion is ongoing. Amendments to a proposal should be discussed on its talk page (not on a new page) but it generally is acceptable to edit a proposal to improve it. Proposals should be advertised to solicit feedback and to reach a consensus. A proposal's status is not determined by counting votes, but a straw poll is one tool that may be used to help gauge opinions and shape the accompanying discussion. Polling is not a substitute for discussion, nor is a poll's numerical outcome tantamount to consensus.
- A historical page is any proposal for which consensus is unclear, where discussion has died out for whatever reason. Historical pages also include any process no longer in use, or any non-recent log of any process. Historical pages can be revived by advertising them.
- A rejected page is any proposal for which consensus support is not present. Consensus need not be fully opposed; if consensus is neutral on the issue and unlikely to improve, the proposal is likewise rejected. Making small changes will not change this fact, nor will repetitive arguments. Generally it is wiser to rewrite a rejected proposal from scratch and start in a different direction.
- A feature request is anything that requires a change to the Wikipedia software. These should be filed on Bugzilla. One should never assume the developers will implement something without asking them first. Thus, if you propose something that requires a feature request to work, discuss with the devs first before asking community opinion on an issue that may turn out to be moot.
- A how-to or help page is any instructive page that tells people how to do things. These will of course be edited by people who have suggestions on how to do things differently.
- An essay is any page that is not actionable or instructive, regardless of whether it's authorized by consensus. Essays tend to be opinionated. Essays need not be proposed or advertised, you can simply write them, as long as you understand that you do not generally speak for the entire community. If you do not want other people to reword your essay, put it in your userspace.
You are a Wikipedia editor. Since Wikipedia has no editor-in-chief or top-down article approval mechanism, active participants make copyedits and corrections to the format and content problems they see. So the participants are both writers and editors.
Individual users thus enforce most policies and guidelines by editing pages, and discussing matters with each other. Some policies, such as Vandalism, are enforced by Administrators by blocking users. In extreme cases the Arbitration Committee has the power to deal with highly disruptive situations, as part of the general dispute resolution procedure.
Some features of the software which could potentially be misused, such as deleting pages and locking pages from editing, are restricted to Administrators, who are experienced and trusted members of the community. See Wikipedia:Administrators' reading list for further information.
除咗上述普遍受認可嘅政策之外,有一大片被提出過嘅政策已經俾 Wikipedians 採用咗。 These are used to provide guidance in various situations that arise on Wikipedia. They cover everything from naming conventions and sensitive terms that should be avoided to how to get along, and why not to bite the newcomers.
Other essays and discussions about Wikipedia[編輯]
- The Meta-Wikipedia site contains many articles about Wikipedia and related topics in a more editorial style.
- Creating how-to articles in Wikipedia.
- Wikipedia:Centralized discussion has a number of discussions to establish consensus on whether some groups of articles should or should not be included in Wikipedia. These policies should be upheld by all users.
- Wikipedia:城市論壇 (政策), 去討論現有同埋建議嘅政策。
- Wikipedia:城市論壇 (提議), 去討論同政策無關嘅提議。

Cheney High School softball head coach Gary Blake has something he hasn't had in quite a while in his 2014 Lady Hawks team - a team heavily laden with upper classmen and experience.
Ten of Cheney's 11 players return from last year's club - nine juniors and seniors - that went 10-11 overall and fifth at 8-10 in the Great Northern League, losing in the playoff's opening round to East Valley. Of those 10, three are seniors with three years varsity experience: Amy Anderson, Bailey Towey and Shayleah Turner while senior Whitney LaValley has two years.

Prosthetic Fishing Rod · 9 June 06 by Jesse Crossen
Robert Haag has started another interesting project for his son Michael: a prosthetic fishing rod. The idea is to attach the rod as a terminal device on Michael's prosthetic arm in place of the usual gripper. Pretty much anything can be made into a body-powered terminal device by attaching 1/2-20 male threads to it, although it's a little harder to make it do something when you pull the cable.
The first stage of the project is to modify the rod so it can be attached as a terminal device. Below are the parts and the resulting device:
And here's a video of Michael practicing his cast:
The following supplies were used:
- Shakespeare telescoping rod (Spider-Man model)
- Knurled plate with 1/2-20 and M12×1.5 threads
- PVC foam washer
The rod's handle is trimmed about an inch from the base, then the inside is built up with hot glue and the knurled plate is super-glued into that. The joint is then sprayed with red Plasti-Dip to hide the imperfections. The washer keeps the rod from rotating when it's screwed into the wrist. The next step is make the cable push the release button for smoother casting. Stay tuned for more detailed instructions on how to make your own prosthetic fishing rod.

Thinkbaby Baby Bottles were introduced to address the concern of chemicals leaching from consumer products. Many baby bottles use polycarbonate, which contains the harmful substance BPA. This substance can actually leach out of the baby bottle, and as little ones systems are still in a state of development they have very little defense against foreign chemicals.
While many companies have emerged to offer BPA Free baby bottles, many bottles not only still contain BPA despite saying BPA Free (see Health Canada study), but many companies have also landed on untested materials just because the material claims to be free of BPA.
The new Thinkbaby Starter Set is the perfect gift or start set for any parent. The set includes 2 polypropylene 5oz baby bottles outfitted with cross cut slow flow nipples (designed for 0 to 3 months). The set also contains 2 polypropylene 9oz baby bottles with medium flow nipples (designed for 3 to 6 months). Finally 2 fast flow nipples (designed for 6 to 12 months) are also included. All of the nipples features a special anti-colic design.
With the starter set, you get every speed of nipple (all nipples are labeled Level 1, 2 and 3 for easy identification). This will provide you with the ability to see which flow rate works best for your little one, as all children feed at different rates. This also means that if you purchase this for a gift, you won't have to concern yourself with making sure that you've purchased the appropriate product.
Simply creating a baby bottle that was safe just wasn't enough. Thinkbaby went the extra mile to create a bottle that solved many parental complaints. For example, most bottles on the market contain venting systems. However, the system on this kit is built right into the nipple. There are no extra pieces to clean or potentially lose. The nipple is also No Spill due to its cross cut design. This eliminated a large amount of mess that occurs during feeding. It also mimics the way children feed during breastfeeding, as it requires them to apply pressure and nurse to receive fluid.
Thinkbaby used a little forward thinking and designed the bottles to be convertible into an award winning Sippy Cup. Most parents have between 8 to 16 baby bottles. And when it comes time to move to sippy cup they have to go out and spend a lot of money to acquire them, while also having to toss out all of the old baby bottles which are then destined for landfills. With the conversion kit, parents can simply convert their existing baby bottles into a Sippy Cup. This not only saves you money but it also saves the environment from excess waste. Once parents are ready to move on to regular cups, the baby bottles can simply be recycled after use, as they are made from No. 5 plastic.
You may also notice that these bottles do not use clear plastic windows. These windows are often made from PET or PVC. It doesn't make sense to take a safe baby bottle, and then put it up against something that can off gas onto the product.
Thinkbaby bottles are dishwasher safe (Top Rack recommended). Please take care not to wipe the measurement markings. Lead is not used in the paint, which is what predominately makes paint stick. The US and EU standards actually allow for low levels of lead. Thinkbaby specifically avoids lead in their products.
When washing the baby bottles in the dishwasher, a detergent that is free of chlorine is recommended. Most of the natural detergents on the market from Eco Lever to Seventh Generation should be free of toxic chemicals. If hand-washing, the American Pediatrics Association suggests using warm soapy water, but only if you live in an area with treated water systems.
Before first use:
Sterilize the bottles in boiling water for 2 to 5 minutes before first use. Sterilizers are not recommended, as it cannot be guaranteed that the ones on the market were made with safe materials. While the baby bottles are technically microwave safe, it is strongly recommended that parents do away with the use of microwaves for all items and products destined for your little one.
To prepare the nipple for first use, please squeeze the top of the nipple and the venting tube. You will want to make sure that both open properly. When tightening down the collar of the bottle, do not over tighten, as this will reduce the amount of airflow into the baby bottle.
The collar, bottle and top are all made from polypropylene (No. 5. Plastic). The nipple is made from medical grade silicone. Baby bottle nipples and spouts made from silicone will typically last 2 to 3 months prior to needing replacement. If you notice tears or breakage, discontinue use and replace.
The venting systems work by allowing air to travel back into the baby bottle. Movement of air back into the baby bottle allows the bottle's internal pressure to reach equilibrium. This reduces the amount of suction required to get fluid out of the baby bottle. Research shows that having a venting system reduces the incidence of gas and spit up, as children take in less air when drinking when venting systems are present. While most modern baby bottles have some sort of venting system, the advantage to Thinkbaby's system is that it is build right into the baby bottle nipple. So there are no extra parts to deal with and its easy to clean.

Deal Terms Still Look Shaky For Start-Ups, But Improving
Start-up companies continue to give into harsher funding deal terms set by venture capitalists, but there are signs the mood is brightening.
Two Silicon Valley law firms, Cooley Godward Kronish and Fenwick & West, separately issued reports this week that analyze the terms of venture financings in the second quarter. While the reports offer different results, they come to similar conclusions: Market terms showed signs of improvement in the second quarter. Or as Cooley cautiously states on the top of its report, there are "early signs of potential improvement." At least the market isn't spinning out of control as once feared.
It's worth noting that Cooley Godward analyzed 75 completed deals nationwide in the second quarter, while Fenwick & West looked at venture financings for 89 companies headquartered in Silicon Valley.
Let's break down the results of the two reports:
Cooley: Median pre-money valuations rose in all rounds of financing, with the greatest improvements observed in Series D or higher rounds. In those deals, valuations jumped to $73 million from $30 million in the first quarter, and rose above the $57 million recorded a year earlier. On the early-stage side, Series A deals showed slight improvement quarter-to-quarter to $4.4 million from $3.4 million, but that figure was still down from the year-ago figure of $5 million.
Fenwick: No analysis provided here.
Price change
Cooley: The percentage of "up rounds," or venture capital fundings that valued a company at a higher amount than a previous funding round, climbed to 25% from 12% in the first quarter after falling for two consecutive quarters from a 2008 high of 57% in the third quarter. But that percentage still sits well below the combined percentage of down and flat rounds, which together moved slightly downward to 56% from 66%. A bit of good news/bad news here.
Fenwick: The percentage of down rounds exceeded up rounds 46% to 32%, the second consecutive quarter that down rounds have clipped up rounds. But there is a bright side: The percentage of down rounds in the second quarter was the same as in the first after rising quickly during two straight periods. And the percentage of up rounds actually rose to 32% from 25% in the first quarter.
Liquidation preference
(This term gives preferred stock holders the right to get their money back from a company before other common stock holders, like the founders, in a sale or liquidation. A multiple liquidation preference means venture capitalists get two times or more the amount of capital they invested.)
Cooley: With the protracted economic downturn, there continues to be a meaningful percentage of deals with greater than 1x liquidation preferences, particularly in later-stage transactions where the investments are larger. However, the stats don't look as bad as in the previous two quarters. In Series D or higher rounds, 80% of deals had a 1x or less preference, versus 61.5% in the first quarter and just 31.6% in the fourth quarter. Similarly, in Series B and Series C deals, which typically carry more liquidation preferences than Series As, the percentages of fundings with a 1x or less preference rose, a good sign for entrepreneurs.
Fenwick: The percentage of deals with multiple liquidation preferences fell slightly to 24% from 28% in the first quarter, but that's still well above the 11% recorded in the year-ago quarter. Of those that include multiple preferences, 25% had multiples of 2x-3x, flat with the year-ago quarter but higher than the first quarter's 10%. But this report didn't produce any multiples above 3x – during the last tech bust, multiples as high as 10x popped up.
Pay-to-Play Provisions
(These provisions impose sanctions on investors who don't continue to support a company in a subsequent down round, converting preferred shares of non-returning investors to common stock or stripping those shares of certain rights.)
Cooley: After rising for two consecutive quarters to 26% in the first three months, the percentage of deals with pay-to-play cut in half to 13%, more in line with the first half of last year. This could signal that venture capitalists have a bit more confidence in their syndicates than earlier in the year.
Fenwick: The data here differs from Cooley. Fenwick finds that pay-to-play provisions have remained relatively steady for the past few quarters, at 15% in the latest period.
For even more analysis on deal terms, and some nifty charts, check out Fenwick & West's survey here and Cooley Godward's report here. (Both links open up PDF documents.)

If you missed some of the best Super Bowl commercials 2014 on Feb. 2 because you needed to grab another sandwich or make a trip to the restroom, we don't blame you. Rest assured, we've got you covered!
Below the jump, you will find some of the best Super Bowl ads to air during this year's Broncos vs. Seahawks showdown. You'll also find a few that missed the mark.
(If you missed any or all of the big game Sunday night, get a recap and final scores here.)
Watch Best Super Bowl Commercials 2014 Online: What Were Your Favorite Ads This Year?
First, we'll start with the obvious winners. There was the Budweiser Puppy Love ad, which told the story of two four-legged star-crossed lovers and broke hearts across the country before the big game even got underway due to its early release on YouTube.
Ditto for the Cheerios commercial featuring an interracial family that set a few bigoted tongues wagging when they appeared in their first commercial last year. It was heartwarming to see this real-life family back on the small screen, with 6-year-old actress Grace Colbert as adorable as ever and with a sibling on the way! (Take that, haters!)
But there were so many other commercials that caught our attention. For example, we got the warm fuzzies watching Gwen, the woman who quit her job via her appearance in the Go Daddy spot, say so long to her job and begin the journey to follow her dreams. (Give Gwen some support by checking out PuppetsByGwen.com.)
There was a quick "Full House" reunion during the Dannon Oikos yogurt ad, which featured brand spokesman John Stamos getting an assist from former "Full House" co-stars Bob Saget and Dave Coulier. It was mildly amusing, though mostly forgettable.
Coca-Cola likely didn't intend to have one of the most controversial ads of Super Bowl 2014, but that's what happened. Their take on the song "America the Beautiful," which included stanzas sung in eight languages, a girl with two dads and footage of people of various ethnicities, was quickly bashed by some people online. Twitter user @Vonzion tweeted, "Hey @CocaCola This is America. English, please. #SB48." (We would like to applaud Coke for their spirit of inclusiveness, as well as depicting the first gay family in a Super Bowl commercial!)
We love anything that gives us more Ellen DeGeneres dancing, so the Goldilocks-themed Beats Audio commercial really rang our bell. Our absolute favorite part of the evening, though, was the "girls are smart and we want smarter toys" message small-scale toymaker GoldieBlox managed to get across. (See the GoldieBlox Super Bowl 2014 ad in the video above.)
Our least favorite of this year's Super Bowl ads? The Audi commercial featuring Chihuahua-Doberman hybrids. We're pretty sure the "doberhuahua" will be starring in all of our nightmares forever. Shudder.
We've really only scratched the surface. However, the New York Times put together an in-depth recap of most, if not all, of this year's Super Bowl ads and provided links so you can check them out again or see them for the very first time. Watch the best Super Bowl commercials 2014 online here.

Social Media and the NFL – Good Numbers + Bad Decisions = Loss
I watched the Dallas Cowboys – New York Jets game on Sunday. It was a special night: the last NFL football game on the Sunday that marked the 10th anniversary of 9/11…and held in New York. There was a great tribute in the pre-game ceremony on a day where emotions were high and raw. Healing has begun, but we have not forgotten. As an aside, Jeff Bullas compiled 5 Infographics to help us never forget what happened on September 11, 2001.
I then got treated to a compelling football game with a few interesting sub-plots in addition to 9/11: the full-of-personality Ryan brothers coaching against each other, Tony Romo playing in his first regular season game since a season-ending collarbone injury last year, and all the hype around whether the Jets will finally make it to the Super Bowl this season.
Tony Romo had an excellent game for the Dallas Cowboys: 23/36 for 342 yards, 2 TDs and 1 interception for a 101.9 passer rating. To add more perspective Romo's career numbers are 1,349/2,106 for 16,992 yards, 120 TDs vs 63 INTs, a 64.1% pass completion percentage and a 95.6 passer rating! That passer rating puts Romo in the top 10 all-time!
The Cowboys were leading by 14-pts going into the 4th quarter, but something happened on the way to this Dallas Cowboys win: they lost. And rather than point out the blocked punt for a touchdown, or the fact that most of Dallas' secondary was injured so the Jets receivers had a field day in the 4th quarter, fans will remember Romo's crucial lost fumble on the Jets 1-yd line and his costly interception that setup the Jets winning field goal.
Good Numbers + Bad Decisions = Heartbreaking Loss
What would be the equivalent with a company brand? Here are some examples of household names with great reputations that committed major social media snafus that proved costly:
- Gap Logo Backlash
- Nestle and Greenpeace
- Domino's brand cultivated over 49 years…damaged in 30 minutes or less (via Brian Solis).
- Abercrombie & Fitch in "A Situation"
And does anyone really remember what Congressman Anthony Weiner stood for regarding commitments to his constituents? We sure remember his social media indiscretion!!
In the long run, I think Tony Romo will be just fine. He was contrite and took full responsibility for his bad decisions. He is keeping good company because 8 of those top 10 quarterbacks eventually won Super Bowls. When it comes to brand reputation, use discretion and common sense in regards to your messaging. If you do make a misstep…
- Own it quickly!
- Do not get defensive!
- Do not look to place blame!
- Do not try to sweep it under the rug or make light of the situation or consumer sentiment!
Note: Mantis Pulse Analytics exists specifically to assist you with monitoring and measuring consumer sentiment then allowing you to engage with the consumers to turn them from brand detractors to brand advocates!
Who would you add to the list of corporate brands that committed social media faux paus? Did they recover gracefully, or further exacerbate the situation? What did you think of the opening weekend of the NFL season? Go Denver Broncos (and Dallas Cowboys when not playing the Broncos)!
