ALAMEDA -- It's been more than a decade since the Raiders won a game coming off a bye week, yet players are encouraged by the approach used by coach Dennis Allen in getting that changed.
For evidence, players point to last season when the Raiders outplayed the 5-0 Atlanta Falcons, on the road, in a game Oakland squandered at the very end.
"We came out, everybody took care of their body, we got refreshed, and it showed," cornerback/punt returner Phillip Adams said of the Raiders' first game after their bye week.
On Wednesday, the Raiders concluded their second practice of the week before they dashed for the parking lot and headed into a four-day break.
Allen imparted in them the importance of getting some down time, staying out of trouble and staying focused.
The coaches will spend some of the time while the players are away breaking down their tendencies, taking a look at what the most successful teams are doing and getting a jump on the next game, Oct. 27 against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
"Getting the rest, obviously, will be critical," Allen said. "We've got to do a great job, as coaches, having a great plan for our players and put them in position to have success."
As helpful as it is getting an extended break midseason, safety Charles Woodson said, it's just as vital that the Raiders get some of their injured players back for the Steelers game.
Nowhere is that more glaring than with the offensive line. The Raiders lost two starters during their game against the Kansas City Chiefs last Sunday and began the game minus left offensive tackle Jared Veldheer and center Stefen Wisniewski.
Wisniewski (knee) should be back for the Steelers game. Same goes for right tackle Tony Pashos and backup lineman Andre Gurode.
In those games, Hayden was beaten for a key touchdown, made a game-clinching interception, committed a costly pass-interference penalty and forced a fumble.
"You don't want the big swings," Tarver said of the hit-and-miss nature of Hayden's play.
In a perfect world, Hayden plays an entire game without his number being called or his image being displayed on the video board.
"A real good corner in the NFL is a guy that makes about four really good or critical plays for the game and then you don't notice him for the rest of the game because all he's doing is his job," Tarver said.
That time is coming, Tarver said. He and everyone else in the organization are confident in Hayden's ability to develop into a top-flight player before long.
Woodson, a former No. 4 overall pick, understands the pressure on Hayden.
"When you're (drafted) 12th overall, they expect you to make plays," Woodson said of Hayden. "That's the one area he has to get better at, making plays, because he's going to have opportunities week in and week out to do it."
However, Allen said, Burris (knee) is like Veldheer (triceps) in that he is making progress but still has a ways to go before he's cleared for practice. Veldheer is on the injured-reserve/designated to return list and can't play in a game until Nov. 3, at the earliest.
"We're getting closer with both those players," Allen said. "I don't think they're there yet. We won't do anything to activate those two guys until we feel they're ready to go."
Veldheer said he is eager to rejoin his teammates on the field and play in a game for the first time this season.
"It's getting better every day," Veldheer said of the injury he suffered during training camp. "I haven't hit any obstacles or bumps in the road."

Making the Grade with Mentoring
Hiring new teachers is an expensive proposition. The hiring season is also highly concentrated: schools fill their positions in the summer, and it can be difficult to find a replacement in the off-season if a teacher quits during the school year.
Over the last 15 years, public schools have increasingly embraced the practice of mentoring — pairing experienced educators with new teachers — as one means to increase teacher retention and improve student achievement, a key measure of productivity in schools. Mentoring has also been steadily on the rise in the private sector, for similar reasons.
As with professionals in other fields, more experienced teachers tend to be the most effective and productive teachers. "Schools are no different than any firm: loss of human capital is detrimental. In industries where human capital is really important, retention becomes a major issue," says Professor Jonah Rockoff, whose research has frequently examined teacher training in public-school systems. There's no solid evidence that turnover among teachers is higher than that among professionals in other fields. "But," he points out, "turnover is typically higher in schools that serve disadvantaged populations. So these schools constantly need to spend resources on hiring, and end up filling their classrooms with inexperienced teachers."
"The stress level in the beginning of a teacher's career is often highly influential in whether a teacher stays or goes," Rockoff says. "Mentoring is a way of easing that transition." It's also a way for seasoned professionals to pass on knowledge and advice. But mentoring is expensive, and no conclusive data exist about how well it works.
"Two big questions are what makes the mentoring experience beneficial and how should we tailor mentor selection and assignment to ensure the best outcome," Rockoff says. Any number of factors could influence the mentor-mentee relationship and the program's outcome, including whether the mentor and mentee are similar in age or gender, the mentor's years of professional experience and how much time the mentee and mentor spent together.
The burgeoning of mentoring programs presented Rockoff with the opportunity to examine which of those factors were most important and to consider one of the classic questions of labor economics: Does investment in human capital (in this case, training) increase productivity?
The New York City public-school system, the largest in the nation, adopted a state-mandated mentoring program in 2004. Rockoff used the substantial amount of data available from the New York City system to examine the effect of mentoring on teacher retention and student achievement. He supplemented the data by speaking with teachers, mentors and school administrators.
Rockoff's most consistent finding was that the factor most related to whether a teacher decides to continue teaching in New York City public schools and in the same school is whether the mentor assigned to him or her had previous experience working in that school, either as a teacher or a mentor.
"One big reason teachers will stay or go is whether or not they get information and training and help that allows them to operate well within the particular school environment that they're situated in," Rockoff explains. "If I'm a new teacher in P.S. 101 and have a mentor who's been teaching there for 15 years, that could be really helpful because that mentor can help me figure out how to deal with Vice Principal Jones, who's really tough, or where to get the cheapest school supplies or even what bus to take to get there on time. A mentor who's been teaching 20 years in another part of town may not understand the students or administrators at that school."
Happily, Rockoff says, this finding coincides with some new policy decisions that the New York City public schools had already put into effect that allowed principals to exercise more decision making at the school level.
Rockoff also found that a mentor's having had prior experience in the teacher's school was more important than such factors as whether the mentor and teacher shared similar educational backgrounds, or were of the same race or gender — differences that didn't seem to have any impact, good or bad. Nor did the mentor's caseload appear to matter much, despite the fact that some mentors were assigned more than 20 teachers, while others were assigned less than 15.
Regardless of their caseload, some mentors put in many more hours than others. Rockoff found that the more time a mentor put in overall the better that mentor's teachers performed in terms of student achievement: students' test scores in reading and math were significantly higher for those teachers whose mentors worked more hours.
"The effects are not straightforward to uncover. If you look at the simple relationship between how many hours of mentoring teachers received and student achievement, you see negative effects," Rockoff says. He suggests that it's actually the anticipation of a poor outcome — lower student achievement — that causes more hours of mentoring. "Mentors know that among their group of teachers, maybe there are two or three teachers who really, really need a lot of help, and that's where mentors spend a lot of extra time."
Teacher-mentoring programs usually stipulate that a teacher be matched with a mentor who shares the same subject-area expertise, a requirement that wasn't always strictly enforced in the New York City teacher-mentoring program. "Quite a lot of effort goes into tailoring assignments based on license area," Rockoff says. "Yet teacher-retention rates, student outcomes and even the survey results [teachers' evaluation of their mentor] show that whether a teacher is assigned a mentor who is matched to their subject makes absolutely no difference."
It turns out that teachers often thought their mentor matched their subject area even when their mentor's license was in a different area, particularly if they rated their mentor highly overall. Rockoff suggests that the best mentors "are able to jump in and give advice that's relevant, leading teachers to believe that the mentor is licensed in the same subject area. So pushing certain program requirements may actually lead to inflexibility and rigidity that is unproductive."
When New York City's teacher-mentoring program was developed, the program's designers spent a lot of time debating programmatic aspects — caseload, subject-area expertise, years of teaching experience. "But those things didn't seem to make that much of a difference. The model of formal mentoring advocated by many groups who design these programs is based on the idea of a central, full-time mentor who works in a number of schools. That may hold some advantages for a district's administration," Rockoff says. "But if it's the school-specific knowledge that's really important, that says that a district is better off trying to have principals run their own systems within their schools."
Rockoff's findings suggest that mentoring programs — whether based in the private or the public sector — should seek to assign mentors based on their experience in the local work environment and their ability to provide relevant advice and guidance, regardless of their field of specialty. "The information that needs to get to new employees," Rockoff says, "is information about how to operate in their specific environment."

Former Alabama president is a candidate at New Mexico State University
Published: Thursday, April 25, 2013 at 3:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, April 24, 2013 at 11:37 p.m.
Former University of Alabama president Guy Bailey is among five finalists for the presidential job at New Mexico State University in Las Cruces, according to the Albuquerque Journal's website.
Bailey is now a tenured linguistics professor at UA. He left the UA presidency in October 2012 after 58 days in office.
Bailey, 62, said Tuesday that his wife Jan, a two-time cancer survivor, had developed a problem absorbing nutrients, which caused her to lose weight at an alarming rate.
Bailey said his wife received treatment and got her weight up when they arrived in Alabama but that the problem quickly surfaced again, leading to his resignation.
According to news reports last year, Bailey said he resigned so that his wife would not push herself to carry out the social duties expected of a university president's wife.
Bailey said his wife's condition has improved, so he was able to pursue a new post.
He came to UA after serving as president at Texas Tech University in Lubbock.

The films screening at the Beaver Creek Documentary Film Series might leave one with something to think about even after the lights come up. Luckily, the makers of each movie will be in attendance to answer some of the questions their films sparked. The Vail Symposium routinely shows documentary films throughout the year, but this time they wanted to do a full five-day screening series. "All of these films have a Colorado connection," said Liana Moore, executive director of the Vail Symposium. "Most of them were produced or directed by Colorado-based directors."Moore has noticed a growing community of filmmakers who choose to live and work in the state. Film director Daniel Junge travels around the world shooting documentaries but makes Denver his home base. "I really want awareness of the industry," Junge said. "There are filmmakers in Colorado doing nationally-recognized and high-caliber work."Making difficult subjects speak to a mass audienceJunge has been directing documentaries for the past decade and will screen two films at the series. Junge's first feature, "Chiefs," chronicles the lives of the Wyoming Wind River Indian High School basketball team, both on and off the court. It won the Grand Jury Prize at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2002.Junge also co-directed "Saving Face," which follows two Pakistani women who have been the victim of acid attacks. The film won the 2012 Oscar for best short-form documentary. Junge strives to tell stories about social justice in a compelling and captivating way. "The films I make are sometimes about difficult, even unpalatable, subjects," Junge said. "But you have to be aware of your end audience. Making films in a vacuum (that may not) reach and speak to a mainstream audience, you're not helping anyone ... You're not really doing a service to the issue or the subject." Junge enjoys attending screenings of his films because it opens up a dialog between audience and filmmaker."I'm happy to be there," Junge said. "I'm always game for invigorating conversation after the film."The 'power of the picture'Lisa Hartman, producer of "U.S. Heath Care: The Good News," is excited about discussing her film because the subject matter is so timely. "The Good News" documents the efforts of hospitals and communities across the country that are trying to make health care affective and affordable without government involvement. With the Supreme Court decision on the Affordable Care Act due any day now, Hartman hopes the film will further expand the way we talk about health care."I believe the story line is changing," Hartman said. "Many stories, like the one in our movie, are going to motivate people to demand that our communities look at the options and innovations to make health care accessible to everyone; make it the kind of care they need (and) want ... and doesn't break the bank."Hartman said the "power of the picture" helps make the documentary medium an agent for change in our society. For the producer, making "The Good News" opened up Hartman's own eyes to new health care solutions."I was shocked at how many places we're doing such extraordinary, innovative things," Hartman said. "Once people see what's possible, they'll demand it." In addition to Junge and Hartman's films, two other documentaries will be screened as a part of the series this week. "Climate Refugees" looks at the effect of global warming on humans around the world. "One Revolution" tells the story of paralyzed skier Chris Waddell as he attempts to ascend Mt. Kilimanjaro on a handcycle. Both Junge and Hartman agree that the exposure to documentary films has increased exponentially since they started working in the industry. "Documentaries have crossed over the line," Hartman said. "Years ago, they were considered fringe. Now, documentarians are creating feature films that are being seen by tens of millions of viewers." Junge thinks the advances in film and video technology have given more people the opportunity to pick up a camera and start shooting. "'Chiefs' was really the result of these new tools," Junge said. "You're seeing a lot more films and a lot more new filmmakers. (Because of this), you're seeing more interesting and challenging films. I think it's an exciting time."

CONCORD -- In the old days, students passed notes to each other when they wanted to communicate without being overheard in class.
But in Phil Miller's Advanced Placement U.S. History class at Carondelet High, students have a more sophisticated way of communicating with each other -- using digital technology to enhance classroom debates.
During a hotly contested debate Wednesday about whether or not it was a good idea for the United States to annex the Philippine Islands in 1900, students pulled out laptops and logged onto team blogs to tap out ideas for questions and arguments.
While four students from each team made oral arguments, including rebuttals and cross-examination, the other students on their teams busily searched online and posted supporting arguments on the blog that Miller calls "the back door."
"This type of program includes the entire class," Miller said. "I had one girl last year who would rarely raise her hand, but she's a really good writer and by supporting her debate team, she was able to make public four arguments."
Students said they like integrating technology into their debates because it allows for research to be ongoing, instead of preparing arguments ahead of time then getting stumped if the opposition makes an argument that is difficult to rebut.
"It helps so I don't feel stuck," said 16-year-old Julianna De La Torre of Pleasanton, who argued in favor of annexation. "I'm going online to do research and getting backup on the blog."
Arguing against annexation was Kelsey Pasco, 16, of Walnut Creek, who said the tech-savvy debate format keeps everyone involved, instead of only those making verbal arguments.
"It's a cool way to learn," she said during a break after the first round of arguments. "It makes me want to find out more. And it helps having some backup."
One of Pasco's aces in the hole was Olivia Haney, 16, of Concord, who supplied an argument through the back door that prompted Pasco to turn and silently mouth "good job," after presenting it. Haney said the blog allows everyone to submit their arguments at once, instead of having to wait their turn to speak, as they would in a traditional class debate.
"I think this is a better way to go for people who don't like to talk," Haney said. "There's nothing to lose if it's a bad argument."
Blair Hurlock, one of several De La Salle High students who attends Carondelet classes through an agreement between the two private Catholic schools, echoed Haney's sentiments.
"It's a lot more effective with the computer because we're able to get our information to the speaker quickly," said the 16-year-old Tracy resident. "Also, it's a little bit easier for people who are a little more nervous about public speaking to have this as a way to participate without having to actually speak. So, I think that's pretty cool."
Miller said he's still working out the kinks in the format. During the break, he noted that students still wanted to speak to each other about their arguments, instead of just relying on their back door blogs, which are hidden from the opposing team. He also said he would like to figure out a way to allow the speakers to send requests for specific information to their teammates.
"A lot of them need that conversation process along with the digital process," he said. "They work together. They really do."
By the end of the debate, Miller said the students still wanted to continue researching and arguing both sides.
"It went really great," he said. "The kids were very much engaged. I would definitely continue to use this method of instruction."

If the Port Jervis decision illustrates the hidden costs of consolidation, an audit by the state comptroller's office shows the obvious costs of separation. Taxpayers in the Town of Montgomery spent about $2 million more than they should have on police services over the past three years, while those in the Villages of Montgomery and Maybrook paid about $2 million less than they should have.
Although the local leaders worked out what they thought was an equitable formula, the comptroller says the results were unfair and all involved now have 90 days to come up with a plan to correct this.
It is tempting to say that this starts with state laws dealing with police departments of various sizes in villages that are in turn inside towns. The Town of Montgomery has several of each, some governed by one regulation and some by another.
A single police force would eliminate the confusion and provide more uniform protection, yet that idea always runs into opposition from one interest group or another.

HAMMOND, La. – The Texas A&M – Corpus Christi volleyball team earned its fifth straight victory with a 3-1 victory (25-17, 28-30, 25-13, 25-10) over Southeastern La. (6-14, 0-8 SLC) to improve to 12-7 and 7-1 in Southland Conference play. Sophomores Ivy Baresh and Shayla Maldonado each had a career day Saturday afternoon at the University Center.
Baresh picked up her ninth double-double of the season with a career-high 21 kills on .311 hitting and matched a career-high 22 digs. She also tied a career-high three service aces while Maldonado had another impressive match in the libero position. The Katy, Texas native registered a career-high 34 digs, just three digs short of tying the all-time single match record for a four-set match. She also chipped in two of the Islanders season match-high nine service aces. The Islanders have clinched nine out of its last 10 matches.
Junior Brianna Brink finished with 10 kills to help the Islanders' offense tally 58 kills in the match. Senior Logen Bourque dished out 51 assists for the second straight game and it marked the fifth time this season where she has tallied 50 or more assists in a match.
Defensively, the Islanders were led by Maldonado and Baresh, who recorded 56 of the Islanders' season-match high 93 digs. Megan Olivarez also finished in double figures with a career-high 13 digs.
The Islanders jumped out to an early 10-6 lead in the first set after straight kills by Shaquinn Parker and Ashley Phelps. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi then put together a 3-0 run to pad its lead to 15-10. During the run, Maldonado added an ace after a Lady Lions' service error and Brink put down a kill. Following a Southeastern timeout, the Islanders maintained the lead the rest of the way en route to a 25-17 first-set victory. Baresh picked up six kills and nine digs in the first set while Bourque passed out 12 assists and Maldonado registered eight digs. The Islanders hit .150 and limited the Lady Lions to just .024 hitting.
Southeastern came roaring back in the second set to clinch an intense 30-28 victory that featured 11 ties. The Islanders fell behind early but a kill by Parker at 20-20 kept the Islanders within reach. After three straight points by the Lady Lions pushed the home team ahead 23-20, the Islanders battled back with a 4-1 run to knot the set at 24-24. Both teams rallied back and forth to even the set at 26-26. The Lady Lions then scored back-to-back points to push ahead 28-26, however, the Islanders were awarded a point after Southeastern's coach Jim Smoot was issued a yellow and red card. The Lady Lions followed with a kill to seal the set 30-28. Southeastern hit .267 in the set and held the Islanders to just .075 hitting.
The Islanders answered back in the third and fourth sets to win the match. Texas A&M - Corpus Christi hit a solid .357 in the third set and limited Southeastern to .188 hitting to win 25-13.

I thought it may have to do with some sort of java runtime configuration error, but i uninstalled, then reinstalled both 32 and 64bit versions.
Just FYI, I have another machine on the same gigabit wired network, and it does not have this error in the debug log.
Also, looking at the "transcoding buffer status" it says peak bitrate of 1-2Mb/sec! Something isnt right here, and I cannot for the life of me figure out what.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Great jersey. I'm 180 5'9" and would recommend a large when I am regularly a medium for those of you out there who aren't familiar with the fact that the sizes for this brand run small. All around great value for this jersey though.

Black women—even if their weight is normal--may be at increased risk for insulin resistance, a condition linked to diabetes, high blood pressure and heart vessel disease, according to research by WFU School of Medicine. "It is well known that obesity is a contributor to insulin resistance," said endocrinologist Jorge Calles-Escandon, M.D. "Our research suggests that race may also be an important factor. Almost half of lean, black women had insulin resistance—double the rate in Hispanic or Caucasian women."
The researchers looked at how obesity relates to insulin resistance in Black, Caucasian and Hispanic women. Insulin resistance means the body can't effectively use the hormone insulin to process glucose, forcing the pancreas to produce more insulin. Researchers analyzed data from women in the nation Insulin Resistance Atherosclerosis Study (IRAS).
They found that 47 percent of Black women of normal weight had insulin resistance compared to less than 20 percent of the Hispanic or Caucasian women.
Calles-Escandon said obesity may need to be redefined in Black women. "If the results hold true, Black women may need to be evaluated and treated for insulin resistance and cardiovascular disease even at weight not considered obese by current standards."

Fed's Lacker: Fed Emergency Actions Made Crisis Worse
NEW YORK—On the same day the Federal Reserve released documents detailing its struggle to keep the financial system from collapsing in 2008, a central bank official blasted that work in a speech and said the Fed appears to have made things worse.
The official, Federal Reserve Bank of Richmond President Jeffrey Lacker, has long lamented the emergency lending actions taken by the central bank over the course of the financial crisis. He believes that by extending the safety net so expansively, the Fed has helped make the financial system even more fragile than it would otherwise have been.
But Mr. Lacker's arguments have not been persuasive to the core of central bank officials who've supported such programs. The transcripts from the 2008 Fed meetings, which covered the worst year of the financial crisis, show Mr. Lacker regularly sparring with his colleagues about the various emerging interventions that were being put in place.
"The evidence strikes me as fairly persuasive that the Fed missed an opportunity to respond far more constructively than it did," Mr. Lacker said in the text of a speech to be presented at Arizona State University on Friday.
He said a defining characteristic of the events of 2007 and 2008 was the role played by Fed and government intervention. "Financial instability is a consequence of the moral hazard effect of expected official intervention," Mr. Lacker said.
Mr. Lacker said that Fed officials he disagreed with were nevertheless trying to act in the nation's best interest. "Fed policymakers during the crisis were genuinely concerned that the problems in financial markets might have costly consequences for the real economy and the American people," he said. "With that concern in mind, they acted in what they thought was the best interest of the economy and the public."
But the actions they took, which extended the safety net more broadly, have created a situation where the largest firms are viewed as being too-big-to-fail. That distorts risk taking and creates broader instability in the financial system, the official said.
Mr. Lacker also said that Fed officials raised the specter of the Great Depression to gain greater emergency lending powers. "I believe the resulting shock to consumers' and businesses' expectations significantly deepened the recession already underway."
The financial crisis proved to be the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. While the Fed's action were controversial, and even the supporters of the various emergency lending efforts were often uncomfortable with what they were doing, many economists think the Fed followed the best possible policies under extremely challenging circumstances.
Mr. Lacker did not comment on monetary policy in his speech.

RV CoversFew people enjoy the luxury of a large enough piece of property to set up a full scale garage for their RV. That means that you have to find another way to protect your investment when you pull up at home. Fortunately, you can get a free standing garage or cover right here at Camping World.
We offer covers not just for your RV, but also for your motorcycle, your golf cart, and even your grill or smoker. While it may seem simplistic, keeping your possessions covered will actually help them last longer because we all know that weather is one of the key components in excessive wear. Metals, plastics, and even rubber degrade more quickly when exposed to the elements, so cover up to save money.

"From your first cup of iced or hot coffee with a sweet indulgence to our amazing breakfast and lunch sandwiches, we believe it's a perfect fit for those on the go or who want a comfortable break in their day."

It was no less meaningful with a smaller crowd. And the money raised was certainly nothing to sneeze at. But we were definitely dismayed at the low turnout for this year's Relay for Life.

RANDOLPH – Gifford Medical Center general surgeon Dr. Ovleto Ciccarelli and urologist Dr. Richard Graham will lead a free men's health talk on June 6 on colorectal health, prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.
The talk will be held from 6-7:30 p.m. in the Randolph hospital's Conference Center with free pizza and refreshments served at 5:30 p.m.
The talk aims to raise awareness of men's health issues and preventable conditions, such as colon cancer, in a comfortable atmosphere, says Rebecca O'Berry, Gifford vice president of surgery.
"Both of our physicians are very approachable and personable and are able to find the humorous side of these topics," O'Berry said. "I'm thrilled that we have two surgeons who are gifted, passionate, and so easy to talk to."
Dr. Ciccarelli has been a general surgeon for more than 20 years, providing surgical care and colonoscopies at Gifford since 2007.
Colorectal cancer is the third most frequently diagnosed cancer in both men and women in the United States and Vermont.
Colorectal cancer develops from polyps that grow – silently, unseen and unfelt – on the inside wall of the colon. Many polyps will never become cancer, but some will over the years.
A colonoscopy can both detect and prevent colorectal cancer. This is because during a colonoscopy, these polyps are removed in their precancerous state or before disease can be felt, preventing the onset or the spread of the disease. And when found early, colorectal cancer is highly curable.
Without colonoscopies, it is not until polyps become cancerous, grow large, and block the colon or break through the colon wall that colon cancer symptoms are evident.
"This is one area of medicine where we can actually prevent disease, extend lives, and improve quality of life," says Dr. Ciccarelli, who will also discuss other common colorectal health issues, such as diverticulosis, anal fissures, and hemorrhoids.
A renowned urologist, Dr. Graham has been practicing urology for 28 years and has performed surgeries around the world. He joined Gifford's urology practices in Randolph and at the Twin River Health Center in White River Junction last year, bringing new procedures to the hospital.
An urologist specializes in diseases of the male and female urinary tract as well as male reproductive organs. Dr. Graham will consequently talk about common male reproductive ailments, including prostate cancer and erectile dysfunction.
In Vermont, prostate cancer is the most common form of cancer and the second leading cause of cancer death, according to the Vermont Department of Health. Nationally, about one in six men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer during his lifetime. The average age of diagnosis is 67.
Treatment for prostate cancer can sometimes cause erectile dysfunction, a condition that affects millions of men in the United States and can be a sign of more serious disease.
Dr. Graham will address how prostate cancer is diagnosed and treatment options, and what works for the treatment of erectile dysfunction. He'll also discuss the controversy over PSA (prostate-specific antigen) blood tests for men, when they should be performed, what they mean, and why doctors order the screening.
"It's a serious subject," Dr. Graham says of the talk that he has given around the world, "but it's also interactive."
The event is open to men of all ages and to couples. There is no cost to attend but registration is encouraged. Call 728-2104 by May 30 to sign-up.
Gifford is an American College of Surgeons' Commission on Cancer nationally accredited cancer program. The hospital is located at 44 S. Main St. (Route 12 south of the village) in Randolph. The Conference Center is on the first floor of the hospital and marked by a green awning. Learn more online at www.giffordmed.org.

Flurry of India Stock Sales Loom
The Indian government's sale of a stake in Oil India, expected this month, could be the beginning of a flurry of equity sales in India, as both state-owned and private-sector companies move to sell shares to meet looming deadlines.
Faced with weak revenue and a rising budget deficit, the government hopes to raise as much as $5.5 billion selling equity in seven state companies before the end of March. Meanwhile, the founders of dozens of nonstate-owned listed companies are expected to sell several billion dollars of equity to comply with a new rule requiring them to reduce share holdings by June to a maximum of 75%, with the rest publicly held.
The rule also requires that at least 10% of listed state-owned companies must be in public hands by August. The Indian government issued the rule in 2010 with the goal of improving liquidity in stocks and reduce manipulation in the market.
This could further revive India's stock markets, which began to attract renewed interest in the fourth quarter of last
year. New issuances tumbled in the second and third quarters as foreign and domestic investors shunned Indian stocks because of the nation's slowing economy, new tax laws that would have hurt foreign investors, and the Indian government's failure to implement economic overhauls.
When the government finally did introduce significant overhauls in the fall, including opening up sectors such aviation and retail to greater foreign investment, investors started to take another look. Sentiment improved again this month when the government partially lifted its diesel subsidy, a big drag on its finances.
In fact, while the benchmark Sensex rose 25% last year, half of the $24.4 billion that foreign investors poured into Indian stocks in 2012 came after the government introduced the first batch of revamps in September. An additional $2.4 billion in foreign capital has been invested already this year.
"This whole investment drought…is now unwinding," says Manish Chokhani, managing director of Axis Capital Ltd., the investment-banking unit of Axis Bank
The Indian government is eager to take advantage of this new environment. It plans to offer a 10% stake in Oil India valued at about $600 million, 9.5% of power producer NTPC for about $2.3 billion, and 9.33% of MMTC, India's largest gold importer, for about $1 billion. "If the market momentum sustains, we can price these issues," says Vinay Menon, head of equity capital markets at J.P. Morgan Chase in India.
This week, Indian Finance Minister P. Chidambaram is traveling to Singapore, Hong Kong and Europe to pitch the shares to foreign investors.
In general, bankers say the state-run companies will likely opt to conduct block sales on stock exchanges, which are faster to execute. "If you do a follow-on public offering, the market risk is higher," Mr. Menon says.
If the government's sales go off successfully, other companies are likely to follow suit, according to bankers.
In either case, companies that need to meet the rule for 25% minimum public ownership are likely to be next to sell equity. The Confederation of Indian Industry estimated last May that about 150 nonstate-owned companies would need to sell $4.4 billion of equity to do so. Technically, they can meet the requirement in other ways, such as delisting or issuing bonus or rights shares to existing shareholders. But many are expected to sell equity, partly because the other mechanisms can be tedious and require time-consuming regulatory approvals. Given the current buoyant stock market, selling stock may be faster.
Some have already sought the approval of their board of directors. Last week, Bangalore-based real-estate developer Prestige Estates Projects said its board had approved the sale of as many as 47 million shares valued at about $150 million at their current price. Also last week Timken India, a unit of New York Stock Exchange-listed Timken Co., said its board had recently considered issuing up to 4.3 million shares valued at $15.5 million. The founders of both companies own about 80% of the shares.
Still, bankers say primary share sales aren't likely to pick up significantly in the near future.
Gautam Gupte, director at Ambit Corporate Finance Pvt. in Mumbai, noted that only about two dozen companies have regulatory approval for an initial public offering, and most of them plan to raise less than $20 million. Even if a company applied now, it would take months to receive approval, he said.

MARTINEZ -- Verdicts have been reached in the cases against both defendants on trial in the Richmond High School gang rape case.
The verdicts regarding Marcelles Peter, 20, of Pinole, and Jose Montano, 22, of Richmond, will be read at 1:30 p.m. Thursday in Contra Costa County Superior Court Judge Barbara Zuniga's courtroom, according to the court.
Peter and Montano each face life in prison if they are convicted as charged in connection with an Oct. 24, 2009, attack on a 16-year-old girl in a dark courtyard on the Richmond High School campus.
Peter and Montano are each charged with gang rape, forced oral copulation in concert and sexual penetration in concert, but their respective juries were instructed to consider lesser offenses.
Peter's jury deliberated for about seven hours before announcing Tuesday that it had reached a verdict. Montano's jury deliberated for about 11 hours before reaching a verdict Wednesday.
Over six weeks, the juries heard from about 30 witnesses, including two men who have already been convicted of gang rape in the case. Another two men are awaiting trial on lesser sexual assault charges.

Pokémon Black (main story)
Steam (2)
Shogun 2
Sonic Generations
Just finished Unreal Tournament 2004.
Up to 19 games so far.
Edit: Make that 20 games. Quickly did Unreal Tournament III: Black Edition this morning.
Editing the edit: 21 games. WWF Royal Rumble is a lot more linear than I thought.

Didn't read the first post, since I was use to less organized "completed game threads", updated my original posted with the addition of games I previously beat this year along side 2 games I've beat just recently, Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Rayman Origins, making that 4 games
Halo 3 Again. And Mario Kart 7 and Forza 4
Battlefield 3
I Am Alive
I have such a backlog it is crazy.
