ABC News has come up with video purporting to prove that Barack Obama did not lasciviously check out a woman's ass in Rome yesterday. We undertook a Zapruder treatment and determined that he probably did, but had no choice.
Last night, a photograph emerged showing what appeared to be our president ostentatiously enjoying the rump of a young "junior G8 delegate" during a public event in Rome. It naturally made waves on the Internet, starting with Matt Drudge, since it looked a lot like Obama was enjoying the view. But this morning, ABC News aired video of the same event that seemed to exonerate Obama. We concur, with reservations. Here's our analysis:
The Set-Up
Obama is standing next to a woman (Woman A) on a dais with oversized steps. Woman A is to his right. Over the next several seconds, the pair will execute the following maneuver: Obama will step down, right leg first, to the lower stair in front of him. He will then turn to his right, grasp Woman A's left hand in his right, and steady her as she steps down after him.
The Interloper
At 0.8 seconds into the maneuver (the timestamps here are from ABC News video that was played in slow-motion, and don't reflect that actual amount of time elapsed), a woman with an attreactive rear end (Woman B) begins to execute her own maneuver: She will step up to the level Obama and Woman A are stepping down from, in the process rotating her body in such a way that exposes her ass to Obama's field of vision. In this frame, Obama has completed his step down, but his back is to Woman A. So he begins the process of rotating his body toward her so as to offer her his hand. But—and this is crucial—he begins that rotation with his head. Here, he has begun swiveling it to the right. Also crucial: Woman B was not in Obama's field of vision prior to the initiation of his head-turn—in other words, he could not have begun turning his head to get a better look.
The Turn
At 1.3 seconds, Obama begins bringing his left shoulder around to follow the turn he initiated with his head. At this point Woman B's ass comes into his field of vision. But Obama's head is still in mid-turn—he's bringing it around to see Woman A, whom he intends to help down the stair. Woman A begins preparing for this by moving the item she'd been holding in her left hand—a credential? A program?—to her right hand, freeing up her left for Obama's. This indicates that some sort of communication or coordination, verbal or otherwise, had transpired between the two to indicate to Woman A that Obama intended to help her down the step.
The Kill Shot
This still, at 1.6 seconds, is from the precise moment that the photograph was taken. Obama is looking directly at Woman B's ass. But where else would he look? His head is still rotating, in a downward sweep, to his right. Down, and to the right. Down, and to the right. Woman A has initiated her step down. Obama is continuing his body-turn, led by his head, to line up with her so as to grab her hand. The photograph appears to show Obama craning his neck to check out Woman B's ass, when in fact the moment is a chance alignment of ass and visual field that any man knows as a freebie—he has been presented with a visual prize that he actually can't look away from, since to do so would interrupt the maneuver he's engaged in to help Woman A. So yes, Obama was almost certainly checking out Woman B's ass, but only insofar as it presented itself to him.
The Stop
At 2.4 seconds, Obama's head-turn reaches its apogee and he stays fixed on Woman B's feet as she prepares to step down. He has completed his body-turn. Woman A's ass is still in his field of vision, but he is not looking at it anymore. How do we know?
The Step
Because at 2.9 seconds, as Woman A is in mid-step and obscures Woman B's ass, Obama's head and body are in precisely the same orientation as the previous frame. If he had been following Woman B's ass, he would have moved his head or body to maintain contact with it. But he is clearly fixed on Woman A's feet as she steps.
The Landing
At 3.7 seconds, the maneuver is complete. Obama's head and body maintain precisely the same orientation as the previous two frames, but Woman B's ass is behind him to his right. As ABC News pointed out in the video these stills were taken from, Sarkozy is leaning wildly to check it out. That's what it looks like when someone takes a gander of a lady's ass.

Wofford's Lawson learned from a legend in Sam Wyche
Published: Wednesday, November 14, 2012 at 3:15 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 15, 2012 at 12:05 a.m.
A month ago, former walk-on James Lawson was the third quarterback and barely a second thought.
Wofford (8-2) at USC (8-2)
When: 1 p.m. Saturday
Where: Williams-Brice Stadium
TV: Pay-per-view
Radio: Wofford (105.7 FM, 910 AM), USC (97.1 FM, 104.3 FM, 1400 AM)
Rankings: Wofford No. 9 in FCS, USC No. 12 in FBS
But on Saturday afternoon, he was the starter who led Wofford to a share of the Southern Conference football championship. His third-down run in overtime set up the winning touchdown as the Terriers beat Chattanooga, 16-13, at Gibbs Stadium.
In the stands rooting for Wofford, and in particular Lawson, was former NFL head coach Sam Wyche, who led the Cincinnati Bengals to Super Bowl XXIII in the 1988 season.
"I was on the edge of my seat, hoping James would have a good day — and he did," Wyche said. "I thought he looked terrific. He kept his poise in overtime and led a team to a win against a very good Chattanooga team. I can't tell you how satisfying it was and how proud I am of him."
Wyche was the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for Pickens High School, where Lawson started for three years and threw for 50 touchdowns and nearly 5,000 yards in three seasons.
Lawson said that as a freshman backup at Pickens, he had heard the name but had no idea of Wyche's past, which includes 12 years as head coach of the Bengals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers after being a top assistant for the San Francisco 49ers.
"One day, our team went to a movie instead of having practice and I rode there with the starting quarterback in Coach Wyche's car," Lawson said. "He pulled out his cell phone and said, 'Go through my phone and call somebody, if you want.' … We called Joe Montana.
"Then it hit me. This guy knew a lot of people."
Lawson is a third-year sophomore who took a red-shirt in 2010 at Wofford and didn't play in 2011, either. This season, he saw mop-up duty in blowout games until second-stringer Michael Weimer got hurt at Appalachian State and starter Brian Kass went down in the first quarter two weeks later at Samford.
So in a game that would either give Wofford a share of the championship or all but eliminate the Terriers from FCS playoff consideration, ending their season with a 1 p.m. game Saturday at South Carolina, it was up to the walk-on.
Lawson, who on academic scholarship, is still not getting any money from athletics.
"It's a lot different playing against (Division II) Lincoln University than it is playing against Chattanooga for the Southern Conference championship," Lawson said. "The great thing about our team is that nobody is considered a walk-on. Guys don't look at me that way. They accept me like I was a scholarship player. It's awesome. Everybody here gets a shot. It's the same for a full-scholarship player or a walk-on, no-scholarship player. I love that about Wofford."
Lawson said his only offers while at Pickens were from a couple of Division II schools and lower. But he listened to Wyche, who encouraged the quarterback to think bigger.
"Coach Wyche told me to go walk on somewhere and show them what I could do as opposed to playing for a smaller school," Lawson said. "He's a great man and I trust him. I took his advice."
They were both thinking, however, that an offer, even as a walk-on, could come from Furman. Wyche played quarterback for the Paladins. Lawsons's father, uncle and grandfather played for the Paladins.
"Honestly, in full disclosure, I was trying to get him to go to Furman and trying to get Furman to be interested in him," Wyche said. "At the time, they didn't feel like they needed another quarterback. That was (former head coach) Bobby Lamb, not the current staff. I thought a third-generation Furman football player would carry a little bit of weight. It didn't happen.
"But I thought he should stay at that level. I thought he was good enough to do it. Now he's playing on an outstanding team, a Southern Conference championship team, at Wofford."
All three quarterbacks are healthy enough to play this week, but if may very well be Lawson who starts and leads the way against South Carolina. That would be quite an experience for a someone who has never even been to a game at Williams-Brice Stadium.
"I really didn't see anything different Saturday than in the way he handled himself at Pickens," Wyche said. "He was the leader, not only in practice but in the classroom and on game day. Everybody looked to him to tell them what to do next. The good quarterbacks I've been around, guys like Joe Montana and Boomer Esiason, were ready on game day even if they were not starting for whatever reason. James has that same mentality.
"He's an extremely intelligent person as well as a poised football player. You can't be poised if you're not a quick-thinker and he was at the top of his class at Pickens. I don't think he's ever gotten frustrated at Wofford, but he was certainly eager to play and was being a team guy. It takes a savvy guy to look at the big picture and realize where he is within that big picture."

Consider Volunteering
Published: Wednesday, February 13, 2013 at 12:01 a.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 11:45 p.m.
Thank you to all of the staff at Lakeland Habitat for Humanity, the volunteers and our donors for the honor of being named ReStore volunteer of the year. I feel privileged to be recognized alongside Ron Clark, lifetime volunteer award, and David Adams, construction volunteer of the year.
The past 15 years have been rewarding beyond words. To experience seeing the eyes of a child who has just entered a new Habitat home to see her own room and bed is indescribable.
The award is for the year 2012.
As of Jan. 1, 2013, I have happily joined the staff as ReStore development director. Our ReStore, a home-improvement thrift selling new and used home supplies, has been open for eight years.
In November 2012, we opened our furniture annex building selling gently used furniture and accessories.
The proceeds from the ReStore enable Habitat to build new homes, renovate homes and revitalize entire communities for low-income families. All donations are tax deductible.
Sheriff Grady Judd reminded me of Booker T. Washington's saying, "Those who are happiest are those who do the most for others."
As the health experts recommend, "get off the couch and move."
Consider volunteering, you will be a happier and healthier person for it.

There are plenty of people who make their living by working outdoors. You typically think of construction workers as the most likely to suffer from dehydration during the summer months.
However, the summer heat affects anyone who doesn't take time to drink enough water. For example, a truck towed away from Interstate 20/59 Friday belongs to a driver that law enforcement officers say suffered from severe dehydration.
"Individual had some medical issues. Law enforcement came up, they requested fire and EMS," said Reid Vaughn of Cuba. "We responded to treat the patient and send him to the hospital."
You may find it odd that a truck driver, who sits in an air conditioned cab, would become dehydrated to the point of hospitalization.
But after speaking with several truck drivers, we found the problem to be more common than originally expected. In fact, truck drivers find they have to drink water constantly to avoid becoming ill.
"I have a friend who was a doctor and she was real big on staying hydrated," said truck driver Clint Booker. "And then you have to be careful not to drink too much water because there is a thing called water toxification. You know, out here it is just real easy for a driver to get to thinking about what he is doing and forget to drink water."
"You know, this morning it took me about an hour and a half to unload and I drank two bottles then, and then finished up a third bottle in the truck," said truck driver Steve Aldridge.
As Aldridge noted, the unloading and loading of cargo in the summer heat is one easy way for a driver to lose vital fluids and then drive away forgetting to replenish their bodies, something many people forget to do regardless of their profession.
So how much water should you try to drink everyday in order to avoid dehydration?
Many people go by the 'drink 8 cups of water a day rule.' That equates to around 2 liters of water. Those who are more active need to double and sometimes triple that amount.
If you are concerned about your fluid intake, you may check with a doctor or dietitian for the proper amount.

The Rogue Valley Symphony Association has launched a national search for a new executive director to replace Cybele Abbett, who announced she is resigning effective May 31, 2014.
Board president Paul Smith noted that under Abbett's leadership, the organization sought and hired its current music director, Martin Majkut, expanded performances to include a new Summer Concert Series and added educational programs, including Link Up in the Phoenix-Talent elementary schools and Classical Coaches at middle and high schools. The symphony association's operating budget grew to more than $650,000 in the five years Abbett headed it.
In a prepared statement, Abbett said she was proud of the symphony's accomplishments and cooperative spirit. She said that now that her youngest child has headed off to college, she and her partner, Michael, plan a sailing adventure to warmer climates.

3.14-1 Discriminatory Employment Practices -
General Statutes § 46a-60
Revised to January 1, 2008
The plaintiff has alleged that the
defendant violated Connecticut General Statutes § 46a-60 when it (discharged
(him/her) from employment / took adverse action against (him/her)) on the basis
of (his/her) race.1
Connecticut General Statutes § 46a-60 provides: "(a) It shall be a
discriminatory practice in violation of this section: (1) For an employer, by
the employer or the employer's agent, except in the case of a bona fide
occupational qualification or need, to refuse to hire or employ or to bar or to
discharge from employment any individual or to discriminate against such
individual in compensation or in terms, conditions or privileges of employment
because of the individual's race . . . ."
In order to prevail on her claim under
§ 46a-60, the plaintiff must prove by a preponderance of the evidence that
((his/her) discharge / the adverse employment action) was due to intentional
discrimination based on (his/her) race. Intentional race discrimination is
proved in this case if the plaintiff demonstrates by a preponderance of the
evidence that (his/her) race was a motivating factor for ((his/her) discharge /
the adverse employment action) even though other factors also motivated the
defendant's decision to (discharge / take adverse action) against (him/her). A
"motivating factor" is a factor that made a difference in the defendant's
The plaintiff does not have to prove
that race was the sole or even the principal reason for the decision, as long as
(he/she) proves that (his/her) race was a determinative influence in the
decision. (He/She) may prove intentional discrimination directly by proving
that a discriminatory reason more likely motivated the defendant's action in
(discharging (him/her) / taking the adverse employment action) or indirectly by
proving that the reason[s] given by the defendant for the discharge (was/were)
unworthy of belief. If you find that the defendant's stated reason[s] are not
credible, then considering all the circumstances, you may infer, although you
are not required to infer, that race was a motivating factor in the defendant's
decision, even if it may not have been the only motivating factor.
It is not your role to second-guess
the defendant's business judgment. As long as race was not a motivating factor
that made a difference in its decisions, the fact that an employer's decision
was incorrect, unfair, unwise or capricious, or even based on personal
favoritism or animosity is irrelevant.
1 Section
46a-60 also prohibits discriminatory practices due to "color, religious creed,
age, sex, marital status, national origin, ancestry, present or past history of
mental disability, mental retardation, learning disability or physical
disability, including, but not limited to, blindness . . . ." Those words
should be substituted for race in the instruction if applicable.
Jacobs v. General Electric, 275
Conn. 395, 400-404 (2005); Board of Education v. Commission on Human Rights &
Opportunities, 266 Conn. 492, 505-507 (2003); Ford v. Blue Cross & Blue
Shield of Connecticut, Inc., 216 Conn. 40, 53-54 (1990).
Third Circuit Pattern Jury
Instruction No. 5.1.2; Diamond Volume, L. Sand et al., Modern Federal Jury
Instructions – Civil (2006) pp. 3-188 - 3-189 (original available at
http://www.ca3uscourts.gov). The cases cited above all follow federal law set
forth in McDonnell Douglas Corporation v. Green, 411 U.S.792, 93 S. Ct.
1817, 36 L. Ed. 2d 668 (1973). The charge does not refer to the prima facie or
burden shifting aspects of McDonnell Douglas because whether or not a
plaintiff has established a prima facie case is an issue for the court and many
federal courts have found that the burden shifting language has no place in a
jury charge. See e.g., Pivirotto v. Innovative Systems, Inc., 191 F.3d
344, n.1 (3rd Cir.1999) ("In Walther v. Lone Star Gas Co., 952 F.2d 119,
127 (5th Cir. 1992) the court noted that 'the issue of whether a plaintiff made
out a prima facie case has no place in the jury room. Instructing the jury on
the elements of a prima facie case, presumptions, and the shifting burden of
proof is unnecessary and confusing.' Similarly, in Ryther v. KARE 11,
108 F.3d 832 (8th Cir. 1997), the court observed that 'instructions
incorporating the McDonnell Douglas paradigm "add little to the juror's
understanding of the case, and, even worse, may lead jurors to abandon their own
judgment and to seize upon poorly understood legalisms to decide the ultimate
question of discrimination."'").

After being shipped in via flatbed trailers, the City of Blackwater welcomed the arrival of two 100-plus year-old train cabooses on Thursday. A disassembly, separating the iron wheels from the box-housing, was necessary for the trip to be successful.
"We've been working on this project for about three years or so, from the initial conception to funding to delivery, so we're thrilled the cabooses have finally arrived," said Blackwater Mayor Bobby Danner.
St. Louis' Museum of Transportation, which houses an enormous collection of transportation-related equipment and vehicles, had a surplus of items, according to Danner.
"Realistically, they knew they'd never be able to get around to restoring them. That's where we came in," the Mayor said.
Blackwater's plans to convert the mobile units into museums are due to see fruition by late spring of 2013. They will rest in the historic downtown district where Main Street crosses State Route K.
"Our Community Center is a replica of a train station and one of the cabooses will sit outside of it," said Danner.
Originally, one caboose was used on the Wabash Line, and the other served the Santa Fe.
"These are both over 100 years old. They're a different style than the iron cabooses you see in other towns. These are older. The bodies are made of wood. Our first priority is to cover them. Our second is the restoration of the outside and that'll be followed by the restoration of the inside. Overall, the insides of both are in pretty good original condition," Danner said.
As cranes, disassembly and trucking were involved, costs for shipment approached $20 thousand, according to the Mayor. Funds were raised from a variety of sources.
The city plans to use local carpenters in the restoration process. Costs remain to be seen, but the city hopes to negate the majority of them through as much volunteer work as possible.
"Cabooses – many people aren't aware of this – were workers' quarters that travelled with trains. One of ours, once restored, will be on display as it actually was on the interior – as a place where workers lived and slept," said Mayor Danner.
The second caboose, following restoration, will house a railroad memorabilia display. Though the project is not complete, the public is welcome and encouraged to drive to downtown Blackwater to see the two museums on wheels.
For more information on the rolling museums, readers can contact Blackwater City Hall at 660-846-8811 or call Mayor Bobby Danner at 660-888-2460.

ATHENS - History was made at the Convocation Center in Athens Thursday, as the Warren High boys' basketball team won its first-ever district title with a 61-46 triumph over Vinton County.
The Warriors have developed a reputation over the years for having a strong boys' basketball program, but surprisingly, had never gotten past the district tournament. That no longer holds true.
"It feels great," said junior Evan French. "We came together as a team. We knew we were gonna have to work hard. We had a good week of practice. Good defense wins games and we just executed."

Warren Warriors district champions
"This is just huge," said senior Dylan Leffingwell. "It's been a long time coming. Since my freshman year we've been trying to get here and trying to get that win. We finally got it and it's just an exciting moment for all of us."
The "Sweet 16" bound Warriors (24-1) shot 52 percent (23-for-44) from the floor in the contest while holding Vinton County (19-5) to 19-for-55 (35 percent). The Vikings were limited to just four points in a game-changing third quarter.
"My assistant coaches were talking about a zone," said Warren head coach Blane Maddox. "And I'm not real fond of zone. I thought 'Man, they (Vinton County) can shoot the 3.' But we went with the zone in the third quarter and our length was able to stay in the paint but also challenge jump shots and cut off the drive. It really took them out of the flow of their offense."

After Bryce Owings opened things up with a basket for VC, Warren went on a 12-0 run, led by six points from sophomore Michael Hall and three apiece from juniors Reece Patton and French, to take 38-28 lead. After a layup by Owings, Leffingwell put in a basket followed by a 3-pointer from Hall to make it a 13-point game going into the final stanza.
Warren then scored 11 of the first 12 points in the fourth quarter to put the game out of reach.
Hall poured in a game-high 21 points on 8-for-13 shooting.
"I'm just happy to be out here with my teammates and help the seniors and coaches get their first district title," Hall said. "It just feels good to be out here and get the win."
French contributed a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds.
The Matt Combs-coached Vikings were led by Jordan Kidd's 16 points. No other Vinton County player was in double figures.
Leffingwell opened things up with a 3-pointer in the first period, but a layup-and-one from Jordan Kidd tied things up at 3-3. After Hall traded layups with Kidd, the Warriors went on an 8-0 run to take a 13-5 lead. French led the charge with four points, along with two points apiece Patton and senior Danny Pannell. After the Vikings got a layup from Chase Wood, French hit back-to-back NBA-range 3s to stretch the Warrior lead to 19-7. A basket by Wood cut it to 19-9 to close out the opening period.
Patton opened the second quarter with a jumper followed by a free throw from Hall. VC's Jordan Albright then converted a layup, but Hall quickly countered with a layup of his own to make the score 24-11.
The Vikings then surged for 15 straight points, which included six from Kidd and four from Owings, to take its first lead of the game at 26-24. Senior Adam Lang scored on a layup to tie the game going into the break.
Thirteen first-half turnovers for Warren allowed the Vikings to get back into the game, but the Warriors turned the tide in second half, forcing eight VC turnovers.
"It's huge for the community," Maddox said.
"When you look up in the crowd, there's a lot of people that have been waiting for this that are basketball fans. They've been supporting the program forever and I'm glad they got rewarded by a special team."

She only appears in the last 15 minutes of the film. Mrs. Voorhees' presence is, at first, rather disorienting, since we've seen so few adults during the course of the carnage. As she tries to comfort a distraught and very upset Alice, her almost blasé response to the concept of a killer on the loose makes her instantly suspect.
Still, we're willing to go with this well-meaning matriarch, at least, up to a point. And then Betsy Palmer, TV star from decades past, opens up her predatory pearly whites and starts telling the story of a boy named Jason, and soon we see the light. As the mother of the drowned lad, Mrs. Voorhees means business, and in her line of work (carving up teenagers), business is booming.

15 Opinions
ChronoSync is now at version 4.5.3, requiring Mac OS X 10.6 (or later).
The 'trial sync' function is useful to compare folders before synchronizing. It is especially useful as it is much more efficient (faster, uses less cpu & less memory) than comparison tools such as Deltawalker, KDiff3 or Compare Folders.
I got to say: I lost hours of work before I found this app. Love it! My macbook woldnt let my brand new iMac to copy the folders properly (permission errors) until I installed ChronoSync and ChronoAgent.
Thank you developers. You made my day :)
Started using 4.0 and really like it. Super easy and pretty reliable so far.
Essential, I have it running on a couple of macs, very handy for aperture library syncing, and for making sure my data is all nicely organised and backed up.
I love this program and I think it's worth every penny. I use it to Sync folders/files between my MacBook Pro and iMac and it works awesome - it can even sync iPhoto & iTunes libraries.
econtechnologies.com has been completely dead for the last 2 days. Pretty lame, theres no way to download their app anywhere on the internet.
A few more days and these guys should be delisted.
Awesome app. It covers the full range from basic backups to very complex rule-based 2-way syncs.
Also, full support for bundle files (or file bundles), such as Pages, Keynote, Numbers files or the dreaded iPhoto '08 library. Although I haven't had the opportunity to try it, the manual says ChronoSync is able to look into bundles and only sync or backup what's changed in it. This means you won't have to refresh the whole backed-up copy of your library after only adding one pic.
Truly has it all, highly recommended. Only minus, as mentioned before me: aesthetically it really needs some work on the UI and icon. Still functional, though.
This is a great program. Very powerful and customizable, but also has a great default setup and so don't really need to take a lot of time setting things up. Also, their tech support is very, very good.
My only problem is that the interface and icons are kind of ugly. Wish they would use Cocoa.
I use this to:
1. sync my USB drive to my work Mac
2. sync the same USB drive to my home Mac
3. sync the Macs to file servers in respective networks
Easy to use - set up and forget!

U.S. Life-Sciences Startups Heed Calls From Offshore
For years, U.S. life-sciences startups have sought to avoid some of the problems in their industry–including a scarcity of investment funding and a sometimes-daunting regulatory process–by raising funding or commercializing overseas.
Nowadays, foreign organizations and governments are the ones making the overtures, hoping that American life-sciences companies can create jobs and stimulate the life-sciences industries in their countries.
While far from being an ideal situation for the U.S. economy, the development has opened up new opportunities for life-sciences startups that are simply looking to stay afloat until they can commercialize, said Dale Wahlstrom, chief executive of Minnesota-based industry association LifeScience Alley.
"This is not something that's going to re-catalyze the industry," he said, "but it is something that can keep companies alive, for now."
Wahlstrom, who was an executive with Medtronic for 25 years, said, "I've never seen a time when access to money was so difficult, or a time when there was so much energy among foreign organizations to try and develop medical-tech and biotech industries of their own."
Saudi Arabia, Israel, Canada, Germany, Sweden, China, Japan and a handful of other countries feel a strong need to grow a life-sciences industry, he said.
"Plus, they smell blood in the water over here," Wahlstrom said. "We have these delays in [Food and Drug Administration] approvals, as well as the new medical-device tax. We're taxing companies for doing business in our country. These other countries are providing tax breaks, incentives and grants."
LifeScience Alley is an industry group located in Minnesota, the hub of medical-technology companies in the U.S. Its leadership and membership are made up of executives from Medtronic, 3M, Abbott Laboratories, St. Jude Medical, Boston Scientific and other companies that together make up the ecosystem that startups seek to join.
The group has been in existence for 26 years, but Wahlstrom said it has fairly recently ramped up its program of sending members overseas to gauge the interest of foreign organizations in U.S.-based life-sciences companies.
Recently, the organization announced its first successful marriage between a foreign government's desire to create jobs with an American startup's need for cash, as implantable device maker Mardil Medical raised a $6.1 million Series C round led by an economic-development organization of the Malaysian government.
Malaysia wants Mardil Medical and other companies to conduct clinical trials in their country, as well as eventually make their technologies available to Malaysian doctors, Mardil said at the time.
LifeScience Alley is in the process of connecting a number of other companies to overseas funding and partnerships, but Wahlstrom said most details are still under wraps.
"Venture capital is still the preferred route," he said, "But there just isn't that much left. So, what do you do? Do you just roll over, and let everybody die? Or do you look for alternatives?"
Looking overseas for funding "is not the answer," he said. "But it's part of the answer. We are not trying to send our industry overseas, we are just looking for synergistic relations."
LifeScience Alley–which works with American startups based outside of Minnesota as well as in the state–is expecting to announce a number of new funding deals in the coming months and years, he said.

Hey guys,
I searched around a little bit but can't seem to find the answer that I'm looking for. Is there a way to configure the latest build of PS3 Media Server to give the option to chose a subtitle directly from the PS3? Some of the movies i watch need English subtitles while most of them don't and having to go in and disable subtitles on the server is getting quite annoying. If this is something that someone has already asked, please let me know what thread and I will check myself.
Thank you in advance guys,

The Nundu is a giant mammal similar to a leopard that is native to East Africa. It moves silently, despite its "gigantic" size, and is considered by some to be the most dangerous creature alive. The breath of the Nundu is toxic and filled with disease. This alone can wipe out entire villages of people. The Nundu is extremely hard to subdue, and has never been defeated by less than around one hundred wizards working together. Compared to the dragons used in the Triwizard Tournament, which were stunned into submission by around ten wizards, the prospect of this rare beast becomes truly terrifying.
Eldon Elsrickle owned a Nundu, which he received as a cub during a voyage to Africa to evade capture for a series of robberies he had committed. He used this Nundu to protect his home and the large treasure he had accumulated inside it from robbing other London residents with his newly-learned Unlocking Charm, keeping it subdued with a daily Stunning Spell when he was home, and reviving it when he left. One day, however, when he found that all the houses in the neighbourhood were protected by a new Anti-Alohomora Charm invented by Blagdon Blay, he was so infuriated upon returning home that he neglected to Stun his Nundu, and was swiftly killed by the beast.
Behind the scenes
- According to Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the Nundu has never been subdued by less than one hundred wizards working in tandem. Yet, Eldon Elsrickle kept his Nundu easily contained with a single daily Stunning Spell. One possible explanation, however, is that his Nundu, large though it was, was still not full-sized, or that, perhaps the Nundu had been weakened by its daily Stunning ever since it was a cub. It could also mean Eldon was a particularly powerful wizard that he could stun the Nundu singlehandedly.

A man is in a coma this afternoon after ingesting a weed cake with his friends for his birthday. Though it is unclear if the weed cake was purely responsible for his comatose state, or if there were other foul issues afoot, nine of his friends were also taken into care for similar symptoms, an "irregular heartbeat" being one of them. One member of his party was left behind and not treated. He is now colloquially known as Weed King. Bow down.
According to GrassCity.com and the remarkably thorough WeBeHigh.com, weed in Spain is easy to access and decriminalized for individuals. WeBeHigh.com ranks Spain's treatment of marijuana at a 4.5 out of 5 on the scale of "very illegal" to "virtually legal," and Spanish cake has a long history of always being good.
But can you die from weed?

Jay Ultimate XC Marathon
This weekend's 33 mile race up in Jay, VT was, although not the farthest I've ever run, my longest duration run ever, and definitely the most tiring race I've ever done. The winner managed a blistering 10 minute per mile pace, running the course in about 5 and a half hours. I finished 50th out of 250 or so finishers, in 7 hours 9 minutes. Here's the story.
First of all, I don't even know what to call this filthy, soaking wet, ankle-twisting, strength-sapping doozy of a race. Originally, I think it was called the Jay Mountain Marathon, then it became a three-day festival including a kayak race and a mountain bike race, and it was the Jay Challenge. This year there was only the running/hiking/slogging/slipping/falling/dripping race, and while one of the organizer's several websites calls it the Ultimate XC Challenge, my race number said "The Ultimate XC Marathon" and my t-shirt said, I believe "Ultimate XC Series Marathon."
Whatever you call it, just don't call it easy.
This race tested me more than any run I have ever been on. The course profile and, even more importantly, the trail/stream/mudbog/swamp surface make this an extraordinarily challenging run. Now, usually, you look at the elevation profile on a race course map and you know pretty much what you're in for. The primary elevation gain and loss highlights are evident and you know that these features will define your race experience, as well as the strategy you may employ. The profile for this race showed a gradual gain for the first 10k or so, then a huge bell curve representing the climb and descent from Jay peak, then a more or less smooth, somewhat rolling terrain for the last two thirds of the race. This, however, was only part of the story.
This race is conducted on a labyrinth of interconnected snowmobile, ski, and freshly cut almost-bushwhack connections between the ski and snowmobile trails. In places where there were no trails, the course diverted the runners into a stream and wound around, over slime- and moss-covered rocks, through pools and around waterfalls until a convenient passage out was discovered. It's mindboggling how the race director ever pieced the course together.
The part of the race experience that could not be captured on any elevation profile, or even really explained by the RD's enthusiastic warnings and course description, is how utterly exhausting it is to run these super-technical fresh cut trail sections, and of course, through the rocky streams. "Technical" doesn't even really capture it- that word just brings to mind a rocky trail where you have to watch your step. Perhaps "gnarlywoods" or "timberbog" is a better term. There was mud. There were downed trees. There were branches and logs and rocks and slopes so steep you had to use the fixed ropes to help you pull yourself up, or slide, one hand scraping through topsoil and leaves behind you, to try to maintain a controlled decent. This was truly an authentic, backwoods trail-running adventure, a sapping, full-body experience. The RD's suggestion was to take your slowest marathon time and double it to predict your finishing time for this race. 3:32 is the slowest marathon I've run this year, so that turned out to be pretty darn accurate in my case.
After running about five miles of this kind of terrain, mostly in a line of anxious runners waiting for the person in front to clear the mudhole or whatnot, we finally got to the first drop-bag aid station, dry shoes, and the base of Jay. It is worth noting that runners should relax and enjoy the slow pace of the opening portion of the race, because you will want to save all the energy you can for the middle third. That line of people you are waiting in is not killing your time; it's saving your legs. Once you've reached it, it's a long power-hike to the top of Jay. I laughed as it occurred to me that few races have a hill so large that you wonder if you are walking too fast, and ought to conserve your strength or let your heartrate down. The course takes a couple of zig-zags up some impressively steep ski trails, passes by the summit house where family and hikers pour out of gondola cars, and then the pounding decent begins.
The descent down the formidably steep slopes of Jay was the second major element defining the experience of this race, far more so than the ascent. Once your legs had been warmed up by the the gnarly, shin-deep mud, stream clamboring, and mossy log hurdles that preceded the mountain, this descent hammered your quads into throbbing, cramping, quivering mush, ready to be destroyed by the equally difficult miles that follow. It was so steep that there was no option to let gravity take control and relaxed as you streetched it out and zoomed down the hill. This would have been a sure recipe for a tumble that would have rolled you over rocks and brambles, likely carrying you a hundred yards before you had any hope of stopping. Unfortunately, you had to be heavily on the brakes the whole time, trying to control your speed and resist the pull of gravity. I often found myself running in a sort of side-step, feet landing laterally on the slope with one hip leading the way, then switching to the other direction to give that leg a brake. This was steep steep steep, and by the time the course left the ski trails and ducked into yet another fresh-cut woods scramble at the bottom, I knew this race was no joke.
From the bottom of Jay, it was more of the same scrambling, scraping splashing slogging miles to the next aid, but now on quivering legs. The course would pop out onto some back roads, granting a brief respite, only to slam you through another stream section, worse than those that had come before. All this on trashed quads from the mountain. After a while, I started to look forward to the streams, as the cool water was refreshing on my sore legs.
In the second half, the race changes character a bit, transitioning out of the murky woods to sun-scorched fields and swamps. There is a "half-marathon" option which runs the toughest 18 miles or so of the course, and the full version basically tacks on fifteen more miles of relatively more typical trail. There is a rope-assisted river crossing at mile 26 and a climb out of a thirty-foot deep sand-pit around mile 30, but other than that, it was much more what "normal" trail races serve up. There were many glimpses of Jay Peak from afar in latter portions of the race, and the mountain, only a few miles from the start, looked impossibly far away most of the time. I was just trying to keep moving forward at this point, hanging on to my 13 or 14 minute per mile pace as best I could beneath the midday sun. I found walking to be unusually uncomfortable and not in the least restful, and preferred to continue my plodding, steady run whenever I could possibly do so. I figured I was not even walking as fast as I normally could, and my slow run was still faster than my slow walk, and felt better, so best to keep moving.
I felt slow, but happy in the later sections, and made sure to keep up with my food intake, just trying to make my way from station to station. Approaching what I fingured was the 30 mile mark, an hour after leaving the 26 mile station, I was shocked to be told I had five miles left, when I thought there would only be three. I couldnt believe I was running thirty minutes per mile, but just assumed that the folks at the previous station had their milage wrong. I had been thinking that breaking seven hours was looking possible, but saw now that even getting there under eight might be a struggle if things started to really go down hill. I redoubled my efforts to stay on pace and keep eating at this point, keeping a Clif bar in my hand and biting off quarters of the bar every fifteen minutes. I broke the time I figured I had remaining down into portions and just worked my way through each unit. I doused my head under the pipe from a 300-gallon tank that had been put out in a field for the runners, and the cool shower was refreshing, even though I was still thoroughly soaked from the stream running and later, the swim through the river.
But, before I knew it, and long before I expected it, thinking I had forty-five minutes (and two Clif bites) left to go, I heard music playing, cheers, and popped out of the woods onto a manicured lawn behind one of Jay's little hotels. Next thing I knew, to my complete surprise, I was turning around the snow fencing into the fifty yard slope leading steeply down to the gigantic inflatable start/finish arch and race festivities. Knowing I was done almost, but not quite, took the agony out of the pounding descent to the line. My 7:09 finish, however, was a happy bonus, as I had resigned myself to being out on the course until at least 7:50 or 8:00. I gratefully winced my way through the corral, accepted my medal, and found my way to the post-race cheeseburger line. After eating, I definitely felt better, and really enjoyed cleaning my filthy, muddy self up at the outdoor showers that had been set up. Some of my gear wasn't so lucky, though, as I ended up tossing a pair of old shoes I had been saving for the race, and a pair of socks that were so thoroughly penetrated with reeking swamp mud I just didn't think it would be worth the effort to clean them. But, as fate would have it, I heard my name over a loudspeaker shortly thereafter during the raffle, and took home a new pair of Ininju toe-socks and a go-lite bottle and handstrap/pocket for my luck. I was a happy and happily exhausted man when the forecasted thunderstorm finally arrived and with a clap of thunder the sky opened up and a torrential downpour sent everyone scurrying for the event tents, and in my case, my car.
So, all in all, a unique, particularly challenging race. Some specialized training and mountain-running prep definitely recommended. Race course and marking were fantastic, with little chance of a wrong turn or getting lost. The RD, helpfully, set up a bulletin board website set up for race participants to organize themselves for rides to remote Jay, VT, as well as to share housing, training, and strategy information. I'm sure that was invaluable to many people. The post-race food was good, but limited, as I didn't see any other food options for people who weren't into cheeseburgers. And the massage folks charging $1 per minute at the end? That struck me as incredibly lame. I'm definitely particularly sore in the quads today, two days later, much more so than typically after a marathon or 50k, but I know that I can survive the toughest course Jay can put together and I'm pumped to test myself over the 50 mile distance in September at the Vermont 50, confident that I can take whatever Brownsville can dish out.

Comfortable hands on long rides.
Giro's Monaco is the hammer of the Giro glove line and is meant to be rock solid mile after mile. This begins with fit — no matter how well made, gloves are worthless if they don't fit well. Giro's Super Fit Engineering process assures a contoured construction, with a three-part Pittards leather palm that's cut to be precise and bunch-proof, especially at the finger/knuckle junction. The four-way-stretch mesh back is breathable and features tiny pockets at the top ends of the middle and ring fingers to ease removal. A tab on the palm side of the wrist helps make it easier to pull the Monaco Gloves on and a hook-and-loop closure lets you micro-adjust fit.
The palm also features Technogel padding on the heel and outside of the hand, which is subtle and thin, but helps reduce the fatigue and potential numbness caused by the constant pressure of leaning onto the handlebars on long rides. The back of the thumb features a soft, microfiber wiper for your nose or face.
The Monaco Gloves are available in five sizes from Small to XX-Large and come in the colors Black/white, Blue/white, Lead/white, and Red/white.

Nice feeling gloves
- Fit: Runs small
We'll see the longevity but on first ride they are uber nice and comfy. However, they run a bit small. I'm typically a Large and I needed an XL.
Giro Monaco Gloves
- Fit: True to size
I am a big fan of these because of the extensive padding. I expected them to not be very durable, because the microfiber is sewn directly to palm. Impressively they are holding up well, and I have put them through the ringer.
Sizing is pretty normal, I ordered a XL and it fits great. I have gotten quite a bit of stretching in the thumb area though. I purchased the black/white palm which looked great new but as you can see gets a lil' filthy.
She likes them!
- Familiarity: I gave it as a gift but have feedback to share
- Fit: True to size
Haven't heard much from the lady regarding these but she had no complaints after her 6hr ride the other day!
Nice for a couple of weeks
- Familiarity: I've used it several times
These are ok gloves. The padding location is a little strange for a road bike. I've had them about three weeks and they are starting to fall apart.
The stitching on my pair is already coming apart at the web/thumb area after only about 4 or 5 rides. They are comfortable but I wouldn't pay full price for them.

LAKEWOOD RANCH, FLA. – The Texas A&M-Corpus Christi women's golf team shot an opening-round 315 at the 36th Annual FIU Pat Bradley Invitational. Junior Vanessa Johnson led the way with a four-over 76 in the opening round.
"Our scores were decent, but this was one of those days where there were low scores to be had and we weren't able to take advantage of that," head coach Carol Blackmar said. "I know all of our players can trim a couple shots for tomorrow's round, and that should get us back in the hunt."
The Islanders are in a tie for 16th with Florida Atlantic after round one. Host Florida International shot a 287 in the first round to lead the way, while Maryland sits four shots back in second place. Daytona State (293), Southern Miss (294) and Missouri (295) round out the top five teams.
Individually, Mizzou's Taylor Gohn sits atop the leaderboard after posting an impressive five-under-par 67. Brandi Rodriguez (Southern Miss) and Coralia Arias (FIU) each shot 69 through the first 18 holes. Eighteen players shot par or better in round one.
Johnson's score places her in a tie for 36th through the first 18 holes. Senior Lindsay Biehler and freshman Ana Paredes each shot 79 in the opening round, while senior Krista Fenniak and freshman Claudia Galindo delivered matching 81s.
The second round of the Bradley Invite will tee off on Tuesday morning at 9:30 a.m. ET with a shotgun start. Updates will be provided at the end of round two on GoIslanders.com and on the official Twitter feed of the Islanders golf team (@IslandersGolf).
T36. Vanessa Johnson (41-35—76)
T60. Lindsay Biehler (40-39—79)
T60. Ana Paredes (40-39—79)
T74. Krista Fenniak (38-43—81)

A bit shoddy in places but good value for money
Reviewed by Mike. Review Posted 10/12/2014
OK, this is a budget case so it's a wee bit shoddy. I was shocked at how light it was. It slid around the table like Bambi-on-ice during assembly but some adhesive rubber feet soon cured that.
It's so light because the metal is thin, very thin in places. I bent the intake grill during assembly without even trying. The motherboard I/O shield wouldn't fit because one side of the aperture (exhaust fan side) was bent out of shape - it arrived that way. Drive bays were also roughly finished and bent. All easily fixed though because the metal is so pliable.
No dust filters despite the large front intake and heavily perforated side-panel. A single front intake fan, the top-mounted PSU acts as the exhaust by drawing air through itself and out of the case.
Verdict? It's a budget case that comes with a PSU - Alpine too, not some generic rubbish - and front-mounted USB3 ports for £33. Basically you get what you pay for and while it's a bit shoddy in places I still think it's good value.

The greased bearings reduce the rotational friction extending the life of a hinge in heavy use situations. These hinges tend to be more durable than standard, or plain bearing hinges.

Mounting: The standard corners for mortised door hinges are 1/4" radius, 5/8" radius and square corner. It is recommended that three hinges be used on doors up to and including 7.5 feet with one additional hinge for each additional 2.5 feet. Make sure you check your current hinges before making a purchase.

I always see celebrities as the glitz-and-glamour, the fame-and-the fortune type of people. Their job description probably requires them to look perfect from head to toe, anytime, anywhere, and anyplace. But then again, celebrities are actually just like us. They too also want to loosen up and enjoy what we common people enjoy; including paintball.
Did you ever wonder if there are celebrities who play paintball?
Do they have someone who keeps on following them to make sure they still look picture perfect even when they are on the field?
Well, YES there are celebrity paintballers; and NO they don't bring their personal assistants on the field.
I did a bit of research and apparently, there is quite a list of celebrity paintballers. Here are some of them:
- The Pitt-Jolie Clan – These A-list couple relieved their Mr. and Mrs. Smith moments when they were sighted in a paintball game-field in Surrey, UK back in 2011. They brought the whole gang with them but only Maddox was big enough to play. Brad and Angelina sure know how to keep their babies happy.
- Keanu Reeves – Mr. Matrix might have got his iconic bullet-dodging moves from dodging paintballs first. He's been seen on the field from time to time.
- Britney Spears – "Hit me baby one more time" may not be the best song when Britney goes paintballing, but who wouldn't still want to share a bunker with her?
There are many more paintballing celebs – Adam Sandler, Maurice Gibbs of the Bee Gees which is a tournament level player, the Spice girls, Tom Hanks, and many more.
Who would you want to play paintball with?

Jordan: In his prime, he could beat LeBron, others

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - NBA legend Michael Jordan believes he could beat LeBron James in a one-on-one basketball game when he was in his prime.
He's not sure about Kobe Bryant.
In a video promoting the NBA 2K14 video game that is being released today, Jordan said there's a long list of players he would've liked to have played one-on-one — Jerry West, Elgin Baylor, Julius Erving, Carmelo Anthony, Dwyane Wade, Bryant and James, who dons the cover of this year's game.
"I don't think I would lose," Jordan said in the video, before smiling and adding, "Other than to Kobe Bryant because he steals all of my moves."
Jordan was listed as 6-foot-6 and 213 pounds during his prime. He averaged 30.1 points, 6.2 rebounds and 5.3 assists per game during his 15 seasons in the NBA.
Jordan, a six-time NBA champion and considered by many the greatest basketball player ever, has had a sponsorship deal with 2K Sports since 2011, when he first appeared on the cover of the popular game. James, 6-8, 250 pounds, has averaged 25.1 points, 6.6 rebounds and 6 assists during his first 10 seasons in the league.
The 50-year-old Jordan, who was a five-time league MVP and is the majority owner of the Charlotte Bobcats, also shared the cover in 2012 with Magic Johnson and Larry Bird.
This year will be the first time on the cover for James, a four-time league MVP who has led the Miami Heat to back-to-back NBA championships.
