- markers
Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) can lead to cirrhosis and hepatocellular carcinoma and is strongly associated with obesity and insulin resistance. The aim of this study was to assess if plasma markers associated with NAFLD are increased in people with concomitant diabetes compared with those without.
A total of 68 participants were recruited from diabetes and liver clinics. Fatty liver disease was indicated by routine blood tests and ultrasonography. Forty-seven participants had type 2 diabetes; of them, 18 had no fatty liver disease as defined previously (DNoFLD) and 29 had fatty liver disease (DFLD); the remaining 21 had fatty liver disease but no diabetes (NonDFLD). Serum samples were analyzed for adiponectin (APN), alanine and aspartate aminotransferases and plasma for cholesterol, triglyceride, hyaluronic acid (HA), procollagen peptide III, alkaline phosphatase and fibrinogen.
Hyaluronic acid and procollagen peptide III were significantly higher and adiponectin significantly lower in DFLD than NonDFLD and DNoFLD, the difference being particularly marked for hyaluronic acid and APN. There was no difference in these markers between NonDFLD and DNoFLD and no association between any plasma or serum marker and ultrasound grade of steatosis.
We have identified markers of hepatic steatosis that appear to be specific for people with type 2 diabetes. A further longitudinal study is merited to assess the role of these markers in understanding the progression of hepatic steatosis and fibrosis in people with and without diabetes.

Very proud. I would say that's a major accomplishment." - Hillary Clinton, 11 March 2014 WHAT?????

Twentieth Century Fox announced Tuesday that an "incomplete and early version" of the latest installment in the billion dollar X-Men film franchise, "X-Men Origins: Wolverine", starring Hugh Jackman, was stolen and posted online. The studio says it will pursue criminal charges against the posters, writing in a statement ,"The source of the initial leak and any subsequent postings will be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law; the courts have handed down significant criminal sentences for such acts in the past."
A studio source says that they are trying to remove the leaked material from the internet, but that they are not confident it can be removed. The studio has removed it from the site that first posted it, but it had been downloaded 10,000 times already and was being posted to other sites. The source sharing this insight chose to remain anonymous.
They stated, "It's not removed from the internet. It's still there."
Twentieth Century Fox insists the leaked version is worthless as its missing some of the sound effects and other post-production bells and whistles. States the studio, "It was without many effects, had missing and unedited scenes and temporary sound and music."
The studio is confident in can track the source of the leak, thanks to digital watermarking of its early copies. States a company spokesperson, "We forensically mark our content so we can identify sources that make it available or download it."
A FBI spokeswoman reported that the agency is "working with the studio and investigating the alleged online compromise of the movie."
The MPAA -- the Motion Picture Association of America and sister organization of the RIAA -- says that it is helping with the probe. An industry source says that the leak could hurt the film's financial success.
However, there's also growing rumors and speculation that the studio itself intentionally leaked the film to generate buzz or get feedback on the movie. Despite the vast popularity of Wolverine in the comic community, early test screenings of the film reportedly were unanimously negative -- in short, the film reportedly is set to bomb. This led to the studio going back to shooting more scenes, adding more screen time for Deadpool -- another comic fan-favorite. However, reports have it that later test screenings saw fans finding the portrayal of Deadpool to be insulting to the source material and poorly done.
With early prospects for the movie's critical reception both in the comic community and among general film audiences being quite poor, some say that the studio is using the leak as a trump card. That way, if the movie bombs, they can place the blame on the industry's favorite scapegoats for their shortcomings -- pirates.
"X-Men Origins: Wolverine" will be released in U.S. theaters on May 1.

The star of the courtroom show "Judge Mathis" teams up with the daytime talk star on the untitled multi-camera project

Warner Bros., in association with A Very Good Production, announced the script deal Wednesday. The multi-camera comedy has DeGeneres and Jeff Kleeman ("The Man From U.N.C.L.E.") joining Mathis as executive producers.

The project is inspired by the real life of the "Judge Mathis" star, who considers himself a "hoodlum-turned-judge." Mathis' new sitcom will depict the life of the man who has total control of his courtroom, but no control at home raising his four children.
The story will be penned by Todd Jones and Earl Richey Jones, who also earn EP credits.

Three big questions for this spring

Following leaked images earlier this week, the Subaru Legacy saloon has been officially unveiled at the Chicago Motor Show. This US-spec sixth-generation model also marks 25 years since the Legacy was first introduced.
Subaru claims this all-new model combines 'muscularity with agility', opting for a steeply raked windscreen for a more sporting appearance and a chiselled front end with a new-look hexagonal grille. The angular front bumper houses larger air intakes, and raked back WRX-inspired headlights – which also mirror the taillights – complete the new look.
The production version was previewed by a Legacy concept at the Tokyo Motor Show last year, unfortunately the coupe like styling and sculpted panels of the concept have been substituted for a more conventional look for this showroom model.
A more sporting theme has been adopted inside, however, with a redesigned instrument cluster hiding behind a new steering wheel design. The centre console now features an integrated 6.2-inch navigation and media system, plus sliver ambient lighting now frames the brushed aluminium and gloss-black plastics.
North American customers will be offered two different engine options, a 173bhp 2.5-litre four-cylinder boxer engine or a more powerful 254bhp 3.6-litre six-cylinder petrol motor. Both transmit power to the road via a six-speed CVT gearbox and permanent all-wheel drive.
For increased performance and better handling Subaru has also increased the rigidity of the body and tweaked the suspension setup. There's also a new power steering and Active Torque Vectoring system, which helps distribute power more evenly.
The sixth-gen Legacy will go on sale in the US in the summer, with pricing to be announced closer to the cars launch. The saloon won't go on sale in the UK, though - but British customers will be offered an estate version - previewed by the Levorg concept at the Tokyo show last November.

Re: inquiries.
FICO, through its analysis of risk predictive value, has determined that credit inquiires lose most, if not all, of their value in predicting chance of delinquency after one year.
So they chose to exclude them from scoring at that point.
The CRAs make their own determination of what their clients want to see. The two year credit report inclusion period for inquiries is totally their administrative policy.
Apparently, they feel their clients still want to see inquiries over one year, but have set a two year limit.
The degree to which any creditor or business bases their decision making on inquiries over one year is totally up to them. They are no longer automatic factors due to FICO score exclusion. I would suspect that most creditors, and particularly businesses, that pull a CR take the same general view as FICO. Little risk predictive value in inquiries over one year. However, FICO is a limited analysis, pertaining to risk of delinquency. A creditor might view numerous inquiries as indicative of something else, such as desparation for credit, and give them weight, such as if credit was not approved and the inquiree was a low-market creditor with low qualifications.
Who knows?

Christmas Carol' has moral theme
Published: Tuesday, December 8, 2009 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Monday, December 7, 2009 at 3:45 p.m.
To The Editor: How disappointing it was to read Stephen Black's assertion (Nov. 28) that the script of Disney's film: "A Christmas Carol" is very close to the Dickens story. He recounts a scene where Bob Cratchitt experiences the death of his son, Tiny Tim.
Does Mr. Black not realize that "A Christmas Carol" is not just a story? It has a moral, ending in the conversion of Scrooge from his miserly self to a jovial, good-natured benefactor. In fact, to quote from the original Dickens: and to Tiny Tim, who did "not" die, he was a second father.
Perhaps Mr. Black should take another look at the book!

I am looking foward to buy a Rikomagic MK802 IIIs mini-pc to be used as a media center. I expect it to run any type of video, including HD and Full-HD videos.
Since I'm looking foward to use XBMC as the main player, I was wondering if XBMC fully supports hardware decoding in the MK802 IIIs.
I believe that without hardware decoding, the CPU based decoding on the ARM may not be enough to play HD and Full-HD content.
So, is there any XBMC build that runs hardware decoding on the MK802 IIIs ?

Hi Guys,
For all my templates I use custom fields to have everything editable through the CMS. Every little text can be found there. However, I want to create some custom text blocks on archive pages but I don't want to create widgets, most clients find them to complicated. Is there any way to have the archive pages show up under 'pages' for example to add custom fields?

Immigration Reform as Economic Stimulus
Published on Mon, Aug 31, 2009
In Immigration Policy Center's latest Perspectives on Immigration, Senior Researcher Walter Ewing argues that even as the U.S. economy begins a tenuous recovery, it is critical that policymakers look beyond short-term stimulus plans to the long-term economic revitalization of our nation.

Please enter a valid mileage
Based on 246 Ratings for the 1999 - 2016 models.Review this car
By finishcarpenter on Thursday, July 10, 2008
overall rating 9 of 10rating details
"After many years in home remodeling and using many trucks and vans of various vintages, I ordered this 2003 Express 2500 cargo van new and waited 4 weeks for the best van ever ! She is loaded with options , very reliable , no problems and a pleasure to own and drive. The 5300 V8 delivers 19 mpg on the highway loaded with cargo and air conditioning operating-- not bad for a full size van. I tow a trailer effortlessly. The Michelin tires make this van handle like a dream at highway speeds . I now have 123,000 miles on this one and ready to sell to a lucky buyer. I am however a little dissapointed in the resale value. I am selling due to upcoming surgery and being forced into another line of work so my need for a van is greatly decreased. Otherwise I would keep this one forever. My 1998 Astro was a piece of junk and I replaced it with a gem. If you are in the market , take my advise and buy a 2500 not a 1500 , get a V8 , AND BUY A 2003 OR NEWER. There were many mechanical advances introduced with the 2003 model year which you will benefit from in terms of servicing or should I say not servicing because nothing breaks down or wears out now including brakes. At 123,000 miles I still have the ORIGINAL brakes with 30% wear left ! I replaced brakes on that lousy Astro every year ! Great vehicle and I hate to see it go !!"

"I was given this van for work replacing our Dodge Vans. I can honestly say that the van is styled well. Engineers must have been service work oriented on this design. It is comfortable, has plenty of power for a V6, and rides well. I can even haul my boat with it after work and get more out of it. Goes great in the snow as well. My only complaint is the side doors need a better design on the hinges, have to oil weekly to keep them moving freely."

"I bought this van to use for my flooring installation business. It has about 75000K on it. Really like the extended wheelbase. The 6.0 engine has really got some power. I have hauled materials weighing over 4000 lbs with it, no problem for this 1 ton. It gets about 14 mpg in daily use. I took a 1700 mile trip and the gas mileage jumped to 16.9 running 75 mph most of the time. This is my 4th work van over the last 20 years, and it is the best so far."

The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (http://www.civicyouth.org/) has studied the so-called "youth vote," meaning voters age 18-29.]]>
The Center for Information & Research on Civic Learning and Engagement (http://www.civicyouth.org/) has studied the so-called "youth vote," meaning voters age 18-29.
Despite references to a single "youth vote," CIRCLE's analysis of American youth reveals diverse backgrounds and experiences leading to a variety of forms and levels of political engagement.
CIRCLE looked at political engagement across five dimensions: voting, volunteering, donating money, discussing politics, and communicating using the Internet.
It turns out that young people fall into nine different categories:
Political Specialists: moderately high levels of political participation and relatively low levels of community service participation.
Broadly Engaged: likely to engage in all types of civic behaviors.
Civically Alienated: almost completely disengaged from civic and political life.
Only Voted: vote but otherwise disengaged in civic activity.
Engaged Non-Voters: don't vote but are moderately engaged in community activities.
Politically Marginalized: not registered to vote but active in political discussions and may donate to causes.
Under Mobilized: do not vote, not registered, and not civically engaged.
Talkers: current with political discussions, may or may not vote, but otherwise disengaged.
Donors: donate money or goods but largely otherwise disengaged.
Although the purpose of the CIRCLE report was to buttress support for a more vigorous civics curriculum in schools, the statistics carry another meaning: be careful of over-generalizations about voting blocs.

Okay, so there is an input form, with 4 text boxes. I get the input using CGI.pm:
my $exc0 = param('exclude0') || 'a';
my $exc1 = param('exclude1') || 'a';
my $exc2 = param('exclude2') || 'a';
my $exc3 = param('exclude3') || 'a';
The reason I had to include the
|| 'a' is to allow it to work if there was no input. Is there a safer way to do this?
It gets called later on in a regex:
next if ($totalmatch->[2] =~ /\b$exc0\b/i);
next if ($totalmatch->[2] =~ /\b$exc1\b/i);
next if ($totalmatch->[2] =~ /\b$exc2\b/i);
next if ($totalmatch->[2] =~ /\b$exc3\b/i);
$totalmatch->[2] is a sentence. If I don't check for no input, when there isn't an input no matches come up (a.k.a. it includes
$exc in every case). I'd guess this is because there is an undef or space in every sentence?
What I've tried is
|| '' and I suppose I could use a
if ($exc0) or a
if defined() or
eq '' but just looking for help.
Thanks a lot for your time.

I am new to this, am creating my first multisite with Buddypress. It has all been going reasonably smoothly, any problems I have resolved through searching forums such as this one. But this one has got me a bit stumped.
I have set the default theme to be WP-Creativix by adding
define('WP_DEFAULT_THEME', 'WP-Creativix'); to my wp-config.php file.
A site created with this shows a white page http://www.holistic-wales.co.uk/testsite/
A site I have manually edited to show the theme is fine http://www.holistic-wales.co.uk/testsite2/
(these are just test site at the moment so there is no content in them)
Also, and I don't know if these two issues are related, but I have noticed this on today as well
When I am in the network admin dashboard I am able to create a new site, but when i am in the site admin for the network hub site (http://www.holistic-wales.co.uk) I get a
"Sorry, we can't find the content you're looking for at this URL. Please try selecting a menu item from above or to the side of this message to get where you'd like to go." error
Please note, the url doesn't bear any resemblance to the nature of the site, this has been my set up site (I didn't think I would be without a proper url for this long!)
Thank you for any help!

Where do the php files for 'pages' live? In other words, when I create a page called Hello in the 1.5.2 admin panel, where can I find hello.php on my server?
You can't.
Everything lives inside the database and WP only goes and finds it then turns it into a page - or a post - when someone asks for it.
Thanks, podz!
I was hoping being able to access a php file would help me answer this question from yesterday. Any advice?
Contact: tried a plugin ?
Your pages.
There is a bundle of stuff in Codex, but here's the short version:
What you need to create is a 'page.php'
You also have to decide if you want people to be able to comment on anything you put on those pages. Let's say you want non-comment page and comment pages.
Download your 'index.php'
Now rename it to page.php and upload it back into the same directory.
When you create a page, it will use that template.
That template can be edited just like any other, and this one allows comments.
Now open that 'page.php'
At the very top, paste this:
Template Name: No comment page
Then scroll down and remove this code:

<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>

<?php edit_post_link(); ?>

<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
Save this file as 'page2.php'
Upload it to where the other file is (which is in the theme directory)
Now go to create a page
There will be a dropdown menu which you can choose for each page - comments / no comments.
Again, you can edit this file as well.
This topic has been closed to new replies.

TV Tonight on TV!
posted by April 3 at 14:07 PMon
First and foremost, you WILL watch the 6th season premiere of THE SHIELD (FX, 10 pm), because it is the best cop show ever. When we last left Vic Mackey and the Strike Team, obsessed internal affairs officer Kavanaugh (Forrest Whitaker) was closing in on the gang's shenanigans, and Shane had lobbed a grenade into the car of co-Strike team member Lem, out of fear he was going to snitch. Nobody does moral ambiguity like this show, so don't miss it!
In less interesting news, tonight at 8 pm (ABC) you can either watch the AMERICAN IDOL contestants slaughter the songs of guest Tony Bennett and laugh at Sanjaya's latest hairstyle, or you can save yourself a lot of time and grief by showing up here tomorrow, where I will undoubtedly post the only watchable stuff. The choice is yours.
In slightly more interesting news, Heather Mills is now being accused of cheating on DANCING WITH STARS (results show tonight, 9 pm) because she's using some kind of crazy, cyborg robotic prosthetic leg. Check out the video if you don't believe me!

No Trials for the Aging
Why are seniors being left out of clinical studies?
WebMD Feature
April 3, 2000 -- (Great Falls, Mont.) -- A mammogram revealed a small cancerous tumor in Opal Addison's breast, and she opted for a lumpectomy. When her oncologist recommended that she enroll in a clinical trial of an experimental drug to prevent further cancer, Addison (not her real name) readily agreed. She did it to help herself and possibly others. ''If I was 21, I probably wouldn't do it,'' says the 70-year-old Illinois woman. ''But now, if I can help anybody, I'm glad to.''
Now completing the first year of the five-year study, she takes a daily pill, visits her doctor for blood tests every three months, and has a mammogram every six. So far, she's been free of side effects such as nausea or night sweats, which she says would have to be ''pretty severe before I would drop out."
Older volunteers can help increase overall knowledge about the effectiveness of cancer drugs. But patients older than 65 are woefully underrepresented in cancer treatment trials, according to a study published in the December 30, 1999 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine.

BEIJING, Sept. 22 (Yonhap) -- North Korea's chief nuclear negotiator told a forum in China last week that the North's young leader Kim Jong-un has been prioritizing the economy, indicating Kim might put more effort in developing the country's moribund economy, a diplomatic source who attended the forum said Sunday.
Ri Yong-ho, the North's chief delegate to the long-stalled six-party talks aimed at ending its nuclear weapons program, made the remarks during the forum in Beijing that marked the 10th anniversary of the talks, the source said on the condition of anonymity.
"First Secretary Kim Jong-un is currently putting his top priority on the economy," Ri was quoted by the source as saying at the one-day, closed-door forum, held on Wednesday. Ri used Kim's official title as the first secretary of the North's Korean Workers' Party.
"Recently, about 90 percent of field-guidance activities by First Secretary Kim were related to the economy," Ri told the forum, according to the source.
The source said the remarks by Ri during the forum were noticeable because Ri emphasized Kim's focus on the economy several times.
Following its third nuclear test earlier this year, North Korea declared in March that economic development and an expansion of its nuclear arsenal could "simultaneously" take place.
The Beijing forum was called for by China to mark the 10th anniversary of the launching of the six-party talks. The off-and-on forum that involves the two Koreas, China, the U.S., Russia and Japan has been stalled since late 2008.
The meeting came amid renewed efforts by China to revive the six-party channel, but South Korea, the U.S. and Japan have shown a cool response to it in the absence of a clear North Korean willingness to abandon its nuclear ambition.
South Korea sent two diplomats to attend the forum as observers but ordered them not to meet with any North Korean representatives.

WATCH: A Toddler Moved To Tears By Pop Song
It's sweet, but it's also a little bit sad.
Gawker points us to this bit of human emotion making the rounds on the Internet today:
If you, like us, don't recognize the song, it's Say Something sung by A Great Big World and Christina Aguilera. If we were asked to decipher the somewhat cryptic lyrics, we'd say this is a song about lovers finally letting go of something that was once really good.
In any case, the toddler's dad says on YouTube that this captures the first moment his 4-year-old son has been "moved" by a piece of music.

LOS ANGELES -- Here's a quick look at the Los Angeles Kings' 3-1 win over the Chicago Blackhawks in Game 3 of the Western Conference finals at Staples Center on Tuesday.
How it happened: The Kings slowed the Blackhawks' offense to a near halt. The Blackhawks were held to just 20 shots on goal, their lowest total of the playoffs. The Blackhawks had seven shots on goal in the first period and just 12 more over the next two periods. Justin Williams put the Kings ahead 1-0 with a goal from the left circle at 3:21 of the first period. Slava Voynov scored the second goal at 6:37 of the second period to put the Kings ahead 2-0. The Blackhawks were held to three shots on goal in the second period. One of those shots, a wrap-around by Bryan Bickell, found the net with 35.6 seconds remaining in the period to pull his team within a goal. The Kings' Dwight King added an empty-netter with 27.3 seconds left in the third period. Kings goaltender Jonathan Quick bounced back with 19 saves after allowing four goals and being pulled from the second period of Game 2. Blackhawks goaltender Corey Crawford had 25 saves.
Player of the game: Voynov had a goal and an assist in the win. He has five goals in the playoffs.
What it means: The Kings continued to play their best in the playoffs at home. They improved to 8-0 at Staples Center in the playoffs this season with Tuesday's win. They trimmed the Blackhawks' series advantage to 2-1. The Blackhawks have had some struggles on the road in the playoffs. They're now 2-4 on the road in the playoffs.
What's next: The series remains in Los Angeles for Game 4 on Thursday at 6 p.m. CT.

Ramsay, Sime Darby JV Talks Earn Plaudits
Malaysia's Sime Darby and Australia's Ramsay Health Care are in talks to form a joint venture that combines several hospitals in southeast Asia, The Wall Street Journal reported Wednesday.
"A joint venture is better than going by themselves, because sovereign risk in that region is higher than countries like France and the U.K.," Derek Jellinek, a Sydney-based analyst CIMB Group Holdings, told Deal Journal Australia.
Based on Ramsay's track record of offshore expansion, CIMB believes investors will support the mooted joint venture.
"The company has shown an ability to allocate capital in a rational and conservative way, with a very high success rate," Pengana Capital senior fund manager Rhett Kessler said. Pengana Capital is a former shareholder of Ramsay, which was founded in 1964, and has been listed on the Australian Securities Exchange since 1997.
Ramsay made its first offshore acquisition a decade later, acquiring U.K.-based hospital operator Capio for 193 million British pounds, which translated to around 450 million Australian dollars at the time (US$465 million).

I had to have an emergency c/s with DS, and after lots of thought and consideration, we've decided to go ahead and have another c/s this time around.
Last night, my stupid pregnancy brain really started worrying about the epi/spinal block of all things. I really hated having it done last time. Every time the anesthetist missed my spinal cord and hit my actual spine, I jumped a little bit, and it got to the point that the nurse pretty much had to hold me hunched over so I wouldn't paralize my stupid self. (After it was over I was grateful for it, and I got it before the need for my c/s came up, so it wasn't like we were doing it in an emergency situation.)
My question is this: will they let me get the spinal in a warm delivery room, or do they automatically make you do it in the freezing cold OR? I also shiver REALLY badly when I get cold, so if I end up freezing my tail off, I know they'll really hate me, or I'll jump and be maimed for life.
Any thoughts or advice?

UConn Coach Calhoun to Miss at Least Two More Basketball Games
University of Connecticut men's basketball coach Jim Calhoun will miss at least two more games while he receives treatment for spinal stenosis, the school said on its website.
Calhoun, 69, led the Huskies to last season's National Collegiate Athletic Association championship, his third in 26 years at the Storrs, Connecticut-based university.
UConn has gone 2-2 since Calhoun began a medical leave of absence on Feb. 3 because of the lower back condition. He has missed Big East conference games against Seton Hall, Louisville, Syracuse and DePaul.
"I'm happy that we seem to have located the problem and I am currently moving forward with treatment," Calhoun said in a statement yesterday on the school website. "We have to give that treatment time to see whether or not it's effective."
Calhoun also will miss games Feb. 18 at home against Marquette and Feb. 20 at Villanova. Assistant George Blaney, in his 11th season with the team, has taken over head coaching duties in Calhoun's absence.
The Huskies are 16-9 this season, with a 5-6 record in the Big East. They defeated visiting DePaul 80-54 last night.
"I'm hoping by the middle of next week we'll have a much clearer picture of where we are, and when I can look forward to getting back to doing what I do," said Calhoun, a member of the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame.
Calhoun was suspended by the NCAA for the first three Big East conference games of this season for failing to monitor recruiting violations that included more than $6,000 in improper benefits to a former player.
In January 2010, Calhoun took a seven-game leave for an undisclosed illness. At that time, the school said the condition was unrelated to his history of prostate cancer, which required surgery in 2003.

CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Miami quarterback Robert Marve's season began with a one-game suspension, and it'll end with another.
Marve will not play in the Emerald Bowl next week because of a violation of team academic rules, which he told The Associated Press was regarding "a miscommunication about absentees for a class."
Miami coach Randy Shannon said he could not reveal any specific details about Marve's situation, other than it would be a one-game issue and not something to carry into 2009. Jacory Harris, who played in all 12 games and started the opener against Charleston Southern, will start when Miami (7-5) plays California (8-4) in San Francisco on Dec. 27.
"Violation of team rules," Shannon said. "That's all it was."
Marve was excused from practice Thursday, a team spokesman said, so he could tend to a personal matter in Tampa, his hometown. Marve told The AP he was returning to South Florida on Thursday night, but Shannon said the quarterback would not be at any of the Hurricanes' final three practices before they depart for San Francisco.
Marve will not travel to the game either, Shannon said.
"You're always disappointed when you have guys that violate team rules," Shannon said. "But you know what? Our job is to teach them and have them learn from it. He'll bounce back and we'll move on."
Marve redshirted last year because of injuries sustained in a car crash, then missed the 2008 opener because of a team sanction related to his arrest on a misdemeanor mischief charge on Oct. 31, 2007.
He had his share of promising moments this season and was the Atlantic Coast Conference's rookie of the week after leading Miami past Wake Forest in October. But throughout the year, as he and Harris shared playing time, speculation grew that one would transfer before next season.
Multiple Miami coaches and players, however, do not believe either quarterback is looking elsewhere.
"I'm just taking all this one thing at a time," Marve told The AP.
Marve completed 116 of 213 passes for 1,293 yards this season for Miami, with nine touchdowns and 13 interceptions. Harris was 93-for-153 for 1,001 yards, with 10 touchdowns and six interceptions.
Harris said he considers himself ready for the bowl challenge.
"It's just a regular game," Harris said. "If you win, you win. If you lose, you lose. We'll go out there trying to win a game. Obviously, we're not trying to go and lose a game way out in Cali. But we want to have fun. It's a business trip and we want to take care of business."
Harris and Marve are good friends and have worked together quite a bit this year, earning high praise from teammates for the way they handled the delicate nature of a two-quarterback system.
Harris sidestepped a question about how Marve is reacting among teammates to the situation.
"I hear a lot of stuff and I hear a lot of things, but this is our family and I try not to let things out of the family," Harris said. "That's something I won't do."

Posted Jun 1 2011 2:47PM
Just when it seemed the Draft could not get more interesting for the Jazz -- the No. 3 pick and, with the No. 12, a chance to add local shooting hero Jimmer Fredette -- now comes the chance to replace Andrei Kirilenko with ...
Andrei Kirilenko.
In a strange meeting of future position need and possible past relationship, Utah will likely have the chance to select Jan Vesely, a player compared to Kirilenko, with the intention of having him replace Kirilenko.
This is too good on intrigue alone, even with the Jazz barely into the serious decision-making process. They could take center Enes Kanter or point guard Brandon Knight with the third selection -- both are realistic calls for the franchise trying to reclaim its status as playoff regular -- but No. 3 is Vesely range too. Some teams believe he will turn out to be the best of the five players from Europe (or who played on the continent this season) to make the top 10 on June 23.
"He has a lot of the qualities of Kirilenko with a more durable body," one executive said.
The comparisons are many. They are from the same region; Vesely a native of the Czech Republic and Kirilenko of Russia. They have a similar body type, Kirilenko at 6-feet-9 and 210 pounds at age 30 and Vesely at 6-foot-11 and 230 at age 21. Kirilenko was not considered a good shooter coming into the league, and neither is Vesely. But both have impressive athleticism and an energy level that helps compensate for a lack of muscle.
"He has some dunks that are so hard, it shocks you," the executive said of Vesely.
Reported one personnel boss: "I am a big Vesely fan. Limited offensive skill set, but he is an elite athlete, has excellent size for his position, a high motor and is ready to play in an NBA game."
This would all be nothing more than an easy comparable except that it's not hard to find front offices who think Vesely is, at the very least, in the conversation for the third-best prospect on the board, after Duke point guard Kyrie Irving and Arizona forward Derrick Williams.
And the Jazz pick third. Days before Kirilenko becomes a free agent.
This is too good.
Other news, notes and observations at the start of Draft month:
• The Cavaliers, already the team of the Draft while picking first and fourth, are sending signals that they may add a pick somewhere from late-lottery to the late-teens or early-20s, either by trading down from No. 4 as part of a larger deal or buying a pick.
They already had Florida State forward Chris Singleton in and, according to the Cleveland Plain Dealer, will host Providence shooting guard Marshon Brooks on June 10. Neither is projected to go anywhere near four. That should sound some alarms.
Teams may like to get an up-close look at as many players as possible, but most agents will have clients work out for clubs only if there is a realistic chance of a certan club taking them. Too many auditions, sometimes several days in a row and with travel thrown in, wears a prospect down and could lead to a stock-drop.
"It's all a mystery," Singleton, a top defender who could go late in the lottery, said when asked whether the Cavaliers gave a reason for bringing him in. "They don't tell you anything."
• One GM still prefers Lithuanian center Jonas Valanciunas over Vesely, Kanter and the entire formidable wave of international prospects that could be one of the major storylines of Draft night: "He might be the best of all of them."
• It's not like USC big man Nikola Vucevic came from nowhere to climb into solid contention for the first round after the Chicago pre-Draft camp. While he helped his case by measuring 6-foot-10 ¼ without shoes and 6-foot-11 ¾ with shoes -- the school, in an unusual turn compared to most who stretch the truth, undersold Vucevic at 6-foot-10 -- it's the same guy who had good showings against Texas (24 points, nine rebounds) and at Kansas (13 points, eight rebounds, two blocks). Teams have seen tape. They're just watching a lot closer in a Draft so lacking in centers.

Paying for a college education is a concern for nearly every student and family. The fact is, few of us have the resources to simply write a check for the full cost of tuition each semester. North Carolina General Statute requires that tuition be paid in full at the time of registration, whether it is paid by financial aid, a third party such as an employer, or a student; however, Montgomery Community College offers another method to meet that requirement.
To help you with your educational expenses, Montgomery Community College offers a convenient payment plan through Nelnet. Nelnet is not a loan program, there are no interest or finance charges, and there is no credit check. You pay a $25 per semester Nelnet Enrollment Fee for the service.
Here's how it works:
1. You may pay by automatic bank payment, credit card, or debit card.
2. You must be registered for classes before enrolling in Nelnet. The final amount on the registration form will be applied to the payment plan. (This is a tuition and fees only plan. Books and supplies cannot be applied to the payment plan.)
3. A down payment of 50% of the total account balance is required at the time of enrollment and is deducted immediately from the account provided in the agreement. If the payment fails, the agreement is terminated at that time, and notification is sent to the person responsible for payment.
4. Payments are processed on the 5th day of each month until the balance is paid in full.
Enrolling in the Nelnet payment plan:
1. Have the following information ready before enrolling:
a. Your student ID number (This can be found on your registration form.)
b. The name, address, and e-mail address of the person responsible for making the payments.
c. The account information for the person responsible for making the payments.
i. If paying by automatic bank payment, you will need the bank name, telephone number. You will also need the bank account and routing numbers which can be found on a check.
ii. If paying by debit card, you will need the card number and PIN.
iii. If paying by credit card, you will need the card number and expiration date.
2. You may enroll in a Nelnet payment plan during the following access dates. Simply click on the Nelnet logo link (above) to enroll.

July 1 - July 25

Payments Due in
|September & October
3. Once you have completed the enrollment information on Nelnet, please read through the Final Review and the Terms and Conditions before clicking Submit. A confirmation e-mail will be sent to the e-mail address provided to confirm enrollment.
4. If you make any changes in the future to your address, phone, or banking information, please call Nelnet at (800) 609-8056 to make changes to your account.
5. Please note: Enrolling in a Nelnet payment plan does not enroll you in classes.
1. How to I access my Nelnet account?
Simply follow the instructions located in the Nelnet Confirmation e-mail or click on the Nelnet logo on this page.
2. Who do I contact with questions regarding my agreement?
Contact Nelnet directly or view your agreement online through your account.
3. When and what time will the funds be withdrawn from my bank account?
Nelnet specifies the date each payment will occur, but it is your financial institution that determines the time of day the payment is debited. Nelnet recommends you check with your financial institution to determine how far in advance funds should be deposited into your account to ensure the automatic payment clears. If a payment date falls on a weekend or banking holiday, the payment will be attempted the following business day.
4. How will I be notified of my payment information?
Once your agreement is posted to the Nelnet system, you will receive a confirmation notification of your payment amount by e-mail or letter. Payments will be processed until the total balance is paid in full. The notification has important information you must have to log on to your account. The notification also serves as a reminder that a $25.00 per semester nonrefundable Nelnet Enrollment Fee will be processed from the account indicated on the agreement.
5. What happens if I have insufficient funds to cover a payment?
Should a payment be returned with insufficient funds, a $30 Nelnet Returned Payment Fee will be automatically assessed to your account. You will be notified by Nelnet of the returned payment via mail or e-mail.

President Obama travels to Southeast Asia this month on a three day trip with stops slated for Thailand, Cambodia and Myanmar. The president will use this opportunity to build trade ties and strengthen relations in the region. Notably, President Obama will be the first sitting president to visit Myanmar, an emerging democratic nation. The president's visit to Myanmar sends a strong signal of support and encouragement to the government and the people of that country, notes Senior Fellow Jeffrey Bader.

Greetings all,
Im a relatively new WordPress user, started using it when it was in stage 2.4 or 2.5. I managed to have no problems what so ever with anything except now ever since I've upgraded to 2.6 the permalinks problems started happening. As a good techy, I read all the documentation and tried the various fixes (of which none of them worked for me) So I decided to wait till 2.6.1 which was supposed to address the permalinks issues associted with people using IIS.
I upgraded to 2.6.1 this morning and Im sorry to say that the permalinks are still not working.
Ive tried adding Category and Tag, Ive tried not using "index.php" in the link structure, Ive tried every possible combination of link structure and "hacks" but absolutely none of them work except for the default or numeric link structure. This is the reason why I've kept my other blog at 2.5 which works perfectly.
Please someone give me a recommendation, as i've run out of ideas and probably read every post on permalinks on this website.
Again I am a IIS user
Thank you for your time!

When shooting video what is actually happening when the shutter is "off"?
I know that it reduces strobe effect, but I'm not sure what is actually happening or how a camera can operate without a shutter?
closed as off-topic by mattdm, chuqui, MikeW♦, John Cavan♦ Apr 8 '15 at 1:14
This question appears to be off-topic. The users who voted to close gave this specific reason:
The shutter on the camera opens and closes. If a camera has its shutter set to 1/100, each frame will be exposed for 1/100 second. But, remember that frame rate and shutter speed are independent. If you leave the shutter off, it will shoot at the frame rate.
There are actually 2 shutters: mechanical (which we all know) and electronic. The electronic shutter is how video is recorded. The sensor scans line by line either vertically or horizontally using the "rolling shutter" (you can read about it more in depth later) method at for example 25 frames/sec. It's recommended to use an actual camcorder to record video because the DSLR sensors will get hot after a long time.
Hope this helps.

I work in Syracuse and attend a lot of games at NBT stadium. It's alright, but not great. Would be awesome to see the Mets affiliate there instead of the Nats.

I'll join if you need one more. I have played fantasy baseball for years and will remain active. I read this site daily, but rarely post.
Trio Of Mets Crack Top 30 In MLB's Annual Top Prospect Rankings
NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – There may be a cushion for the Mets' free-fall from National League relevance over the past several years.
It was awesome to see that again. Thank you for the post.
Look for the Mets to trade Rule 5 pick Kyle Lobstein to the Tigers. Tigers ran a note to the Mets' table right before the pick.

As a die hard Knicks fan I have to that's pretty funny.
Our offense looks pretty bad so far. I hope it's just fatigue.
But I think it'll get better. Hopefully.
Man I'm enjoying the game but pretty bummed that it could be the last one I see for awhile :( I hope they get this resolved soon!
I just got Time Warner Cable yesterday for the sole purpose of MSG. I hope they get this resolved soon.
Lol, its been awhile since we had a fire Mike thread.
I joined too!
Buying Bochy a watch for his number #15. Bochy gave it to him anyways.
Try and make the playoffs. It most likely won't happen, but I can't see Collins letting these guys dog it or give games away.
SA will also most likely be taking calls from teams asking about our...
Congrats on getting Beltran. I would be real excited too. Hopefully he can get his WS ring with you guys this year. I would hate to see him win in a Braves or Philly uniform.
You never know how...
I'm gonna guess he got tired later in the season as some rookies do. He was called on to start and logged quite alot of minutes.
He showed a good bball iq and played decent D. With improved range...
Reyes has been my favorite Met for a long time and would hate to see him playing for another team. I just don't have a good feeling about re-signing him.
I'm guessing that SA is getting a feeling...
"C" He's too inconsistent to be a SG and lacks true PG skills. Nice guy to have off the bench though.
Hopefully he comes back healthy and at least plays some better D.
I would gladly take Wil back, but the MLE (if it still exists) is not going to get it done. And there is no chance of us us giving him a no trade clause. I believe only Kobe and Dirk have no trade...
My first thoughts were Scott Boras. But I'm sure it will work out well for KRod. Now he can become a FA and get another contract. And with Boras I'm sure he'll get his money.
I think KRod will be...
Shatterah, man ur silly. But I think your strategy just might work!
I dropped cable until the season starts. I have Time Warner and you have to have a cable account to access espn3.com as a Time Warner customer. I'd like to stay home to watch the draft so if anybody...
Can someone please PM me a link if they know of one?
I would love to have pg like CP3 or dwill. But I'd also like to see us finally assemble a real team and not just a bunch of 1 year rentals. Which doesn't seem likely since we're already over the cap...
