The 7 Most Overused Words on the Internet
#3. "First"
What They Think They're Saying
I win!
What They're Actually Saying
When someone's that desperate for a win, we'd normally just let them have it, but desperation and low standards for victory are what caused reality TV. We can't afford a mistake like that again. "First" isn't harmless; it's such hollow egocentricity that their inflated skulls should collapse like a punctured hot air balloon. They're the asshole who cuts across an existing conversation with a brand new subject about themselves, but they forgot to bring a subject. They're injecting themselves into the entire world's faces to turn the Internet into ego bukkake. They are also stupid enough to think it will be hilarious to do that below. They are wrong.
First! I'd like to thank the human urge to read, which I'm turning into a mistake!
You might think this entry is a paradox, because by the time you've read the word, you've already seen their whole comment and forever lost a piece of your life to these existential parasites. But don't worry: What these firsters forget is that the Internet is cached, their IP addresses are logged, and we will eventually have satellite lasers precise enough to target single humans.
#2. "Umad?"
What They Think They're Saying
Unlike every other entry on the list, "umad?" actually was fantastic. Once.
Bill O'Reilly was successfully talking over a rapper (because rappers are actually about being coherently heard, while Bill doesn't suffer that limitation) when Cam'ron dropped two syllables to destroy his target more completely than an A bomb. Bill was shut down so hard that he had to go to his internal happy place, which at that exact moment must have looked like a Klan-staffed Bioshock.
Unfortunately this became a meme, which is a great way to undo the good of anything. Now it means "LOLZOR, Look at t3h little nooblet."
What They're Actually Saying
"Umad?" exists for the same reason as warning symbols: A noxious danger has become so prevalent, the entire culture now instantly recognizes it as bad.
Original trollface by Whynne
It's the awful online idea that pissing people off is a victory in its own right. Honestly, when the Internet becomes sentient and starts attacking us, it'll only be because it thinks we like it. "Umad?" elevates this to the level of zen paradox, pissing people off by implying that they're pissed off, and just like zen monks, the only solutions are to stop thinking or use violent kung fu. Note: Kung fu doesn't work online.
"Umad?" should be useful, because mocking people who try to kung fu their rage through a keyboard is more natural than drowning when you try to breathe in a septic tank. And they're very similar experiences. Jumping in when you're angry is an unpleasant mistake, and you really should have known better. A keyboard isn't a conversation. There's no need to do something you regret in the heat of the moment.
In the long term, this is less damaging than using the Internet angry.
But "umad?" now ends the discussion by dismissing any contrary argument as childish rage. Disagree with them? U mad! End of story, because when someone uses a meme instead of logic, they don't like the latter. Memes are voluntary brain damage, short-circuiting higher thought processes with copy and paste, because these people view thinking as unpleasant homework and they'd rather copy it off the Internet. They've become a vehicle for regurgitating things they've seen before, the textual equivalent of the winter vomiting bug. And about as fun to spend time with.
#1. "Bitch"
What They Think They're Saying
That they just showed that bitch. Probably a feminist. Amirite?
What They're Actually Saying
There are websites for people sexually attracted to dogs, filtered by breed and gender, and they come off looking better when they use the word "bitch." They violate man's best friendship and they're still more sympathetic than people who insult half the human population. When you define someone's worth by "gonad dangling," you don't understand the former or use the latter. Unless you're discussing the pain of being kicked in happyplums hammock, gender isn't relevant, and if you use the word "bitch," you're on course to becoming a specialist in that subject.
The insult "asshole" criticizes them for spewing shit, "moron" for being an idiot, "bitch" for being female. It's at this point where people will complain about humor, satire, valid uses of the word and a sack of other things that simply aren't relevant when it's KratosWarBoner69 screaming at a girl playing Street Fighter. Using the word "bitch" reverses the polarity of a comment: If someones hates you by using the word "bitch," you're probably moving in the right direction. It's a better moral compass than a Morgan Freeman character. And if you can't imagine Morgan Freeman reading a comment, you shouldn't do it either.

Disgusting movie on the web. Two girls start licking each others chests, followed by one of the girls filling a pint glass with her own feces. The movie goes on to show BOTH girls licking and sucking at the contents of the cup. Later, one girl has a fine specimen that she squirts out of her mouth a few times before swallowing. THEN the girls start pulling the trigger and puking in each others mouths! WORST MOVIE ON THE WEB! INCONCEIVABLE!!
"My ex-girlfriend invited me to a friends' house to watch what she called 'Two Girls One Cup'... After watching it I burned all of my things, had my name legally changed, and moved to a new state."

A Video clip circulating the internet that depicts two girls involved in a sex act. Initially looks like a typical piece of girl-on-girl porn until one girl shits in a cup. Both girls then eat from the cup and procede to puke on each other.

(Spoiler Alert! The following reveals elements of the video's "plot")
Sadistic Asshole: "Dude... check out this video of these two hot chicks 'making out'. He! He!".
Said Asshole's victim plays the video "Two Girls One Cup": Idyllic music plays.... Two attractive women ... Standard Lesbian foreplay ... then, at about 0:30 into the video....
Traumatized Victim (horrified and at the brink of nausea): "Are they ... Oh my God, No ... I can't believe ... Are they really, IS SHE EATING THE OTHER CHICK'S POO! AND, OH NO, SQUIRTING IT INTO THE OTHER CHICK'S MOUTH! PLEASE, I CAN'T WATCH ANYMORE!"
Sadistic Asshole: "Oh it gets better. So much better, so much tastier."
... the two women, apparently fed-up (hah! pun intended) with eating each other poop, wash their fecal-feast down with a generous helping of each other's vomit; could there by a more fitting denouement?...
Traumatized Victim (shaking): "Where am I? Its sooo cold in here... My life will never be the same... My whole worldview has been decimated ... Someone, please hold me. I am so scared ..."

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Gene patents have been issued in the United States for decades, however, a decision from the Southern District of New York in March 2010 put them on the chopping block of patentable subject matter.
The decision comes in the middle of a growing debate over the boundaries of patentable subject matter in what the U.S. Supreme Court recently dubbed the "Information Age," where inventions pertaining to information in its various forms resemble less and less the devices patented in earlier eras.
In Association for Molecular Pathology et al., v. U.S. Patent and Trademark Office et al., an opinion that is a mix of health policy and patent law, Judge Sweet issued a broad holding invalidating Myriad Genetics' patents on the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genetic mutations and related diagnostic tests, determining that these inventions did not qualify as patentable subject matter. The court invalidated the patents and granted summary judgment for plaintiffs: the ACLU and a group of physicians, patients, and researchers. The case is now on appeal to the Federal Circuit.
After decades of patenting genes, why now remove them from the realm of patentable subject matter? Isolating DNA sequences and engineering genetic diagnostics may have become, at least in the abstract, a more routine laboratory exercise in recent decades (which more predictably might have contributed to narrower invalidations based on novelty or obviousness). But while such reasoning may implicitly underlie the court's opinion, it was not the basis for its published decision.
Instead, the court chose to more broadly and categorically remove these innovations from patent eligibility altogether, finding earlier decisions on gene patents inapplicable: "[I]n the absence of a § 101 [patentable subject matter] challenge to patent validity, the fact that courts have previously upheld the validity of patents directed to biological products in response to § 102 [novelty] and/or § 103 [obviousness] challenges has no bearing on the present inquiry."
If upheld, this decision has potentially far-reaching implications for the two basic types of patents that were at issue in the case: isolated gene sequences and genetic diagnostics.
Specifically, the court invalidated patents on isolated DNA containing all or part of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene sequences, finding that the isolated sequences were not "markedly different" from a product of nature and had not been physically transformed into something sufficiently, fundamentally different. The court drew a distinction between the BRCA patents and those in Diamond v. Chakrabarty, where the Supreme Court upheld patentability of a human DNA sequence placed into a bacterial plasmid, as there the DNA sequence was manipulated and "transformed," not merely isolated.
Should Judge Sweet's holding stand, remaining questions regarding what constitutes sufficient "transformation" will create substantial uncertainty for the PTO, the courts, and anyone seeking biotechnology patents.
The court's holding is also in tension with long-standing opinions upholding patents on extracted and purified natural substances, such as adrenaline. (See Parke-Davis & Co. v. H.K. Mulford and Co.)
Judge Sweet ruled that DNA should be treated differently than other isolated or purified chemical compounds based largely on the conceptualization of DNA as information, Judge Sweet noting that "DNA represents the physical embodiment of biological information," and that "DNA's existence in an 'isolated' form alters neither this fundamental quality of DNA as it exists in the body nor the information it encodes."
He went on to state, "This informational quality is unique among the chemical compounds found in our bodies, and it would be erroneous to view DNA as 'no different' than other chemicals previously the subject of patents." Therefore, although genetic material is in fact a chemical compound, under Judge Sweet's opinion it is not patentable because nucleotide sequences carry genetic information.
The Department of Justice (DOJ) recently weighed in, submitting an amicus brief to the Federal Circuit in late October, 2010, arguing that isolated DNA sequences should not be patentable. The DOJ offered consolation that new and useful methods utilizing genetic information (such as therapies and diagnostics) may still be patented, subject to the prohibition against patenting abstract ideas. However, the DOJ's opinion that therapies and diagnostics should remain patentable offers little comfort, as patentability of genetic diagnostics is also under scrutiny in Molecular Pathology.

Paula Deen is again defending herself after an admission went public this week about her past use of the N-word.
The celebrity chef has come under fire after a newly filed deposition revealed that she used the widely condemned racial slur years earlier.
On Wednesday, her lawyer released a statement that said the 66-year-old Food Network star "does not condone or find the use of racial epithets acceptable." A day later, Paula Deen Enterprises released a new statement echoing that position.
"During a deposition where she swore to tell the truth, Ms. Deen recounted having used a racial epithet in the past, speaking largely about a time in American history which was quite different than today," reads the statement given to PEOPLE.
"She was born 60 years ago, when America's South had schools that were segregated, different bathrooms, different restaurants and Americans rode in different parts of the bus. This is not today."
The statement goes on: "To be clear Ms. Deen does not find acceptable the use of this term under any circumstance by anyone nor condone any form of racism or discrimination."
Deen made her shocking admission in a May 17 deposition connected to a lawsuit filed by Lisa Jackson, a former manager of Uncle Bubba's Seafood and Oyster House, which is owned by Deen and her brother, Bubba Hiers. Jackson claims she was in a hostile work environment filled with innuendo and racial slurs.
According to the deposition transcript filed in U.S. District Court Monday, Deen admitted to using the racial slur after an attorney for Jackson asked if she ever used the N-word.
"Yes, of course," Deen replied, and added: "It's been a very long time."
Meanwhile, The Food Network, which airs both Paula's Best Dishes and Paula's Home Cooking stopped short of defending its longtime star in a statement to PEOPLE about the controversy.
"Food Network does not tolerate any form of discrimination and is a strong proponent of diversity and inclusion," a rep for the network says in a statement to PEOPLE. "We will continue to monitor the situation."

Matt McDonald
Anchor/Reporter, NewsChannel 21 at Five, Six, Ten and Eleven
For the past decade, I have called Bend home. For half of that time, I have been working in television, covering the stories that define our community. But to say I took the direct route to my career in journalism, would be false.
In June of 1999, I graduated with honors from Oregon State University. In my hand, I proudly carried a B.S. in Civil Engineering. The path was set, and in a booming construction industry, I had four job offers before I graduated.
After a year of working as a consulting engineer in Portland, I started to wonder if engineering was the right choice. Ultimately, I left engineering for a job in finance that took me to Shanghai, China for a year.
It was in Shanghai that my fascination with journalism began. A U.S. spy plane crash landed on Hainan island in China. I distinctly remember my mother calling, concerned after hearing on the news, that there were anti-American riots in the streets of Shanghai. I answered the phone while waiting in line at McDonald's with some of my Chinese friends. Needless to say, the firsthand view I experienced was far from what was being reported.
After leaving China, my wife's job in higher education brought us to Bend. I worked for a number of years for various non-profits before earning an opportunity to work in television. I am extremely proud that my first year as a reporter was punctuated with the Society of Professional Journalists Robert Chandler Award (rookie of the year) named for a former publisher of The Bulletin.
In January of 2011, I joined the NewsChannel 21 team as one of the anchors of our Sunrise broadcast, before moving to the evening newscasts in the summer of 2012.
I love my job, and I am proud of the stories I work so hard tell. But I am equally proud to admit, work will always take second place to my family. I met my wife when I was sixteen and we were married in 1999, after graduating college. In 2009, our daughter, Macy Rose McDonald, was born at Saint Charles in Bend. We also have a Labrador mix, Bailey, adopted ten years ago from the Humane Society of Central Oregon. Next on our horizon, another baby on the way. Sometimes around Thanksgiving 2012, the McDonald family will grow by one.

MARTINSBURG - After starting in the Air National Guard's hangars at the Eastern Regional Airport and then moving to the Berkeley County Youth Fair Grounds, the Apple Harvest Festival's arts and crafts show is coming to the B&O Roundhouse in Martinsburg this year.
There are several reasons for the move, according to Randy Lewis, chairman of the arts and crafts show.
"No. 1, the draw has been going down," he said Tuesday. "There are industry reports that say if you have events out of a central location, you have a 40 percent loss in traffic."

David Cheek of the W.Va. Army National Guard, left, and Randy Lewis, chairman of the Apple Harvest Festival arts and crafts show, prepare to layout vendor booths in the B&O Roundhouse Tuesday for the Apple Harvest Festival arts and crafts show Oct. 20-21.
He and David Cheek of the West Virginia Army National Guard were laying out booths Tuesday morning for the about 70 vendors scheduled to show their wares in the historic Roundhouse Oct. 20-21.
Cheek is working with the TsiCorp, which contracted with the West Virginia Army National Guard for a long-term vehicle maintenance facility at the Roundouse complex. The Guardsmen stationed at the facility have been performing repairs at the Roundhouse complex.
Lewis praised their work helping him with the arts and crafts show's plans and setup.
Fact Box
What: Apple Harvest Festival arts and crafts show and other activities
When: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Oct. 20, and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Oct. 21
Where: Martinsburg Roundhouse Center (B&O Roundhouse complex). Visitors should park at the Caperton Train Station on East Martin Street, Martinsburg, and take the pedestrian bridge from the train station across the tracks to the Roundhouse.
Entry fee: $3; under 6 years old, free.
Apple Harvest Festival entertainment scheduled for the B&O Roundhouse:
Saturday, Oct. 20
10 a.m. to noon, Alex Ayers & A Train
3 to 4:30 p.m., Mark & Country Bunch
4:30 to 5 p.m., Musselman High School Show Choir
Sunday, Oct. 21
10:30 to 11a.m., Mary & Melvin Edwards
11:15 to 11:45 a.m., Hedgesville High School Jazz Band
Noon to 1 p.m., Presentation of the colors by the Berkeley County Sheriff's Department; introduction of Queen Pomona, XXXIII, and her court; salute to the Queen from the Valley Forge College and Military Academy cadets
2 to 3 p.m., Christian Lopez
3 to 3:30 p.m., Martinsburg High School Good Times Show Choir
3:30 to 4 p.m., Jefferson High School Pop Singers
4 p.m., Washington High School Vocal Fusion
"And having the show at the Roundhouse and other events downtown, we can capture more traffic because everything is in walking distance," Lewis continued.
Another 30 exhibitors will be housed in the adjacent building as well as favorite activities like the apple-peeling contest, apple-eating contest and apple pie contest.
"Another big reason is it's our heritage, it's our community, it's better to keep it in downtown," Lewis added. "And the Roundhouse is a grand setting."
Lewis, who also is executive director of Main Street Martinsburg, hopes the arts and crafts show, as well as all the other activities, will draw a broader audience to the Roundhouse - people who otherwise never would have been interested in visiting the Roundhouse.
"I talk to people and they've never been over here," he said. "They're anxious to come. I hope this is the first of many events that will showcase the Roundhouse, that will give more people a reason to come here."
Officially known as the Martinsburg Roundhouse Center, the 13-acre site includes several former B&O Railroad shops and roundhouses. The original roundhouse complex was built in 1848-1850, but was burned Oct. 19, 1862, by Confederate Gen. Thomas J. "Stonewall" Jackson during the Civil War. The existing roundhouses and shops were rebuilt after the war between 1866 and 1872.
The railroad ceased operations at the site in 1988. In 1999, the then-Berkeley County Commission bought the roundhouse complex and turned it over to the Berkeley County Roundhouse Authority.
In 2003, the B&O Roundhouse was designated a National Historic Landmark.
Lewis said several new vendors have signed up for the show, some because it is being held in the Roundhouse.
"We have new vendors from Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia - they're excited about being in the Roundhouse," he said.
All the merchandise on sale at the arts and crafts show will be handcrafted, Lewis said. Items will include jewelry, primitive art, ceramics, woodcrafts, foods and much more.
"We also are adding a vintage feature," he said. "There will be two dealers with antique furniture."
The Apple Harvest Festival store will be selling souvenirs, and there will be plenty of local entertainment.
On Oct. 21, The Norwalk Antique Car Club will present the antique and unique vehicle show at the Roundhouse and celebrity guests Scott Reeves and Shawn Scales will be on hand for autographs and photographs.
Children's activities will be available throughout both days.

Microsoft Corp.'s (MSFT)
market cap -- a measure of the total current value of shares -- rests at
$219.9B USD. While that may sound great, competitor Apple, Inc.'s (AAPL)
cap is nearly 46 percent higher at $320.5B USD.
In all practicality, both companies are firing
on all cylinders. But Microsoft is earning far less respect for its
Fueled by record sales of its Windows 7 operating
system and Office software suite, Reuters
I/B/E/S expects Microsoft
to post a profit of $4.7B USD. That's approximately 27 percent less than
Apple's record
earnings of $5.99B USD. But as you can see, the gap in share value is
much larger, percentage wise, than the gap in profit.
There's much debate currently over the investment
community's low valuation of Microsoft. Basically, it largely boils down
to that investors perceive companies like Google and Apple to be growing, while
they feel Microsoft
is fading in the market.
Sales don't currently agree.
Microsoft is expected to earn a record $16.2B USD
in its third fiscal quarter (the first calendar quarter of 2011). And
sales for its Entertainment and Devices Division (Windows Phone 7, Xbox 360,
etc.) are also rapidly growing.
But at the end of the day investors appear
convinced that Microsoft is in for a rough landing. They eye the fact
that the company has been passed by Apple in profit for the first time since
1990. And they also are well aware that International Business Machines (IBM)
-- another foe Microsoft passed in the 1990s -- may soon pass it in value as
well. It currently sits at a market cap of $206.3B USD.
Following the post recession recovery the entire
tech market is booming, but the investors' strongest evidence in their case
against Microsoft may be PC sales. Over the first three months of 2011,
PC sales fell 1 percent. It is believed that is largely due to the sharp
rise in tablet and smart phone sales. People are still buying PCs -- but
they're doing so less frequently as they increasingly rely on mobile devices.
And that's troubling news for Microsoft, who has struggled thus far in
the mobile sector.
Michael Yoshikami, Chief Executive of fund manager
YCMNET Advisors is among those very concerned with this development. In
an interview with Reuters, he states:
What people are going to be focused on is what's happening with
their core PC business. Is that slowing down? That's really going to
dictate what Microsoft's future earnings power is going to look like. In
the long term, their core cash flow business is going to be impacted,
particularly if we start to see an ASP (application service provider) model
where companies are essentially renting software.
His comments allude to a second major crisis
facing Microsoft -- advertising supported and rented software. Both forms
of software tend to produce lower revenues. And most of Microsoft's
profit is still driven by software sales -- particularly the sales of business
licenses. As business software giants like SalesForce.com Inc. (CRM)
and Google Inc. (GOOG) offer
rented software, Microsoft finds its earnings under assault on a second
quote: Having tight integration with between desktop and mobile is key.
quote: The two things they have that he mobiles don't are storage space and much lower costs in bandwidth consumption.
quote: Don't underestimate technological progress. The 16 GB microSD card in my phone has 80x more capacity than the 5.25" HDD in my first PC. The 512 MB of RAM on my phone (which is 2.5x bigger than my first HDD) is a quarter million times more than the RAM on the first computer I used. The lack of storage space on mobiles is only going to be a problem for a few years.
quote: Standalone computers (CPU/storage) will still be around, but mostly for people doing heavy number-crunching or using high power consumption applications will need them.
quote: You act like tablets can't use bluetooth, USB, HDMI, DVI, or any of the other technologies available to PCs.
quote: Hint; the current iPad has USB input/output, HDMI output, bluetooth keyboard support, etc. This will continue to improve into the future as competitors push the bleeding edge. So all of your complaints? Gone. You can in fact type anything, get things done, play games, etc.

4 Free Games You Can Play to Make Life More Interesting
#2. Future Me
BananaStock/BananaStock/Getty Images
Short and Sweet:
Find your future self; tell a story.
This game is similar to "Find the Spy" because it involves looking at strangers and forming a narrative in your head. "Future Me" involves picking someone older out on the street and deciding "OK, that's me in the future."
The more random your pick, the better, because step two involves determining, step by step, what exactly you had to do in order to get from point A to point B. Is Future You a well-dressed businessman? A street musician? Two assassins? If so, what moves do you need to make to get there in the next 10 years, lest you upset the space-time continuum?
Photos.com/Photos.com/Getty Images
Some choices will require more outside thinking than others.
It's a fun, dumb game, but it's also a really useful tool for any writers out there, because when you're writing a story, you don't always have the whole thing in your head. You have a beginning, or maybe only an ending, or maybe just a few symbols or ideas that are important to you, and the actual writing involves filling in all of those blanks and connecting those symbols to each other in a way that is meaningful or, failing that, logical. In "Future Me," you have your beginning (you), and your ending (the street clown smoking a cigarette). Write that story.
#1. "Mr. President ..."
I first learned about this game in some Reddit thread that, for the life of me, I can't find now. I think the original poster called it "Mr. President." It's the best, but only if your friends are as dumb as me.
So, you're at a party, standing around in a circle with your friends, talking and laughing and sporting and doing whatever else people do at parties. Then one of your friends, without announcing it, puts a finger to her ear, as if she's listening to one of those Secret Service radios. If you see her doing it, you do it too while drawing as little attention do yourself as possible. Then one of your other friends will catch on and also do it. And another friend. When there is only one person left who doesn't have his hand to his ear, that's when you know: He is the President. You are the Secret Service. And his life is in grave danger.
"Mr. President get down!"
Mario Tama/Getty Images News/Getty Images
We cannot stress enough to never play this game anywhere near the actual President.
Whoever screams that first gets to tackle "the President," and then everyone else piles on (or, if you're me, you put on invisible sunglasses, make a little gun with your hand and secure the perimeter, to lend some authenticity to the whole affair).
I can't say that this will help you be a more attentive and present person, or if it help strengthen your reflexes because, in all likelihood, this game will not make you better at life in any way. But, when someone else at the party sees a bunch of strangers yel,l "Mr. President get down" simultaneously, for a few minutes, life is a movie for them. And that's kind of neat.

"It's pretty rare that he gets to go to an awards show with me," Underwood told PEOPLE Country of her hockey player husband Mike Fisher. "This show is not during the regular season for hockey, so it's nice to have that extra support."
Now that the couple has been married nearly four years, the singer said Fisher knows how to calm her nerves. "If I'm nervous, he'll be like, 'C'mon, you have nothing to be nervous about. Just go do what you do and take a deep breath and say a little prayer and you're good to go.' Just being able to get a little kiss and go about my way, it definitely has a calming effect."

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - All my life I have adored the elders, that is to say, those cultured and contented uncles & aunts two decades my senior who have endured life's booms and busts, and are steadfast in their cheerfulness and optimism. And now that I am fast approaching their elevated status, I adore them all the more.During this year's holiday dinner we were discussing the debilitating effect the movie Texas Chainsaw Massacre will have on our Christian society in its debuts on January 4th, when suddenly Uncle Bo (88) reached beneath his chair and surprised us with what looked like a small rainbow or a miniature arch that a football team would run through to enter a stadium for a bowl game. "And what the hell is that?" asked Uncle Joe (89) while we all stared at Uncle Bo."This is my Mayan Sleeping Tent. It's quite elementary, actually, though nobody ever thought to patent it - until now.""Yeah? So what in God's green acre is it good for?" asked Uncle Joe."What's it good for? Joe, this little dynamo will allow you to sleep through the night, every night, while enjoying the sweetest of all possible dreams.""What is it, Gramps?" asked an impatient imp."My little Mayan Sleeper has two feet that you tuck between your mattresses, then you toss your bedding over the top, and voila! You've created a space for your feet to enjoy complete and unfettered freedom.""Bo, that's like taking a pill for a Christmas dinner, for Pete's sake. I like the weight of blankets on my feet. I'd venture to say I couldn't sleep without covers on my feet. Besides, what do Mayans have to do with this apparatus, anyway?""Marketing, Joe, marketing. Joe, you're a creature of habit. I'll let you have my prototype here for $20 and if you don't sleep through the night tonight I'll give you your 20 back tomorrow.""So who's going to be the judge?" asked Uncle Joe. "If I'm asleep, how am I going to know if it's due to your Mayan Doo-Dah or if I'm just having a particularly good night's rest?"At this point, Uncle Joe's wife, Aunt Flo (84) raised her formidable index finger and said in no uncertain terms, "Joe, give me the $20 and I'll be the judge. You pitch Bo's Mayan-thingy over our feet tonight and if I have a good night's sleep I'll give the twenty to Bo tomorrow. But if I hear one more word about this infernal contraption over Christmas dinner I'm going to brain the two of you's and the both of you's can sleep your infernal sleep in the hereafter!"A sweet silence fell over the table while Uncle Joe handed Aunt Flo a twenty dollar bill. Uncle Bo slipped his Mayan Sleeper under the table and the party fell back into a tableau about the debilitating effect January 4th's debut of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre will have on our Christian society.I just worship those old folks, and only hope I can divert family conversation as adroitly and effortlessly as they do when I'm seated at that lofty helm - providing I'm allowed the opportunity.- Learn more about McAvoy Layne at www.ghostoftwain.org.

Hoosiers pick up signature win
BLOOMINGTON, Ind. - What Indiana did to Penn State wasn't a fluke. The Hoosiers won in every facet of the game, from controlling the line of scrimmage on offense and defense, to special teams to coaching.
The Hoosiers earned, in every way, their first victory against the Nittany Lions in 17 tries.
"I'm proud of our guys, and I'm happy for them," Indiana coach Kevin Wilson said. "I'm happy for the people who stuck with us and for us to get a good win. We played really good in a lot of phases."
The Hoosiers are known for the fast-paced offense, and that was on display. But they aren't known for the type of run defense they played against PSU.
"It all started with our D-line," safety Greg Heban said. "They did a great job getting pressure on their O-line. They dominated the line of scrimmage, which was one of the key points we focused on."
Nate Sudfeld completed 23-of-38 passes for 321 yards, two TDs and an interception for the Hoosiers. Backup quarterback Tre Roberson also had an impact with a rushing touchdown and a two-point conversion.
Penn State had no answer for the Hoosiers through the air or on the ground. Cody Latimer caught nine passes for 140 yards, and Tevin Coleman rushed for 92 of his team's 150 yards, including a 44-yard score on which he busted through the middle and went untouched.
"Coach didn't want us to focus on the history of this game," Sudfeld said of the first win against PSU. "Coach always said, 'This 2013 Indiana team has never lost to this 2013 Penn State team.'"
Hackenberg, offense regressing
Christian Hackenberg struggled for the second consecutive game as he was completing less than 50 percent of his throws for much of the day before finishing 30-of-55. He threw for a career-high 340 yards and three TDs without being intercepted, but all of his numbers were misleading since the offense couldn't come up with the big plays it needed all day long.
"When you're 18, I think it's hard," O'Brien said of his freshman quarterback. "Everything that he's seeing, he's seeing for the first time."
Hackenberg was just 13-of-35 the last game against Kent State. Asked if he thinks he's regressed the past two games, he said, "I don't think so. I guess we have to go to the film room and see, but I wouldn't say either way.
"I just try and get better every day, try and do what I'm told to do on each play and really just manage the game," the quarterback added. "So I guess I'm just really feeling more comfortable."
Allen Robinson had another monster day with 12 catches for 173 yards and two touchdowns. But outside of him, PSU's receiving targets were largely held in check. Penn State was playing without receiver Brandon Felder, a valuable possession target who missed the game with an ankle injury.
"I feel like we moved the ball, but we really just sometimes didn't finish drives," Hackenberg said.
Inside the rushing numbers
Penn State finished with 70 yards net rushing, but Zach Zwinak averaged 4.2 yards per carry on his 17 attempts. The problem was he only carried 17 times as O'Brien continued his running back rotation of Bill Belton and Akeel Lynch.
Zwinak is built to carry the ball 28-30 times a game, but O'Brien didn't go that route with his playcalling. Instead, he continued to have Hackenberg throw the ball, even though he wasn't having an efficient day.
Part of the team's low rushing total was because of a 31-yard loss on a bad snap on a field-goal attempt, and because Hackenberg lost 19 yards on the ground. So on 31 designed rushing plays, the Lions actually averaged 3.9 yards. Belton averaged 3.1 yards on 10 carries and Lynch 2.3 yards on only three.
Scholarships no excuse
O'Brien has said a couple of times the team is competing with 61 scholarship players, which is probably true from the standpoint of that's how many scholarship recruits are on the squad. There are additional walk-ons who have been given scholarships, so the number is more like 66.
Whatever the number, the coach pointed out, "I don't think in any stretch of anybody's imagination that this is a normal Penn State team; 61 kids on scholarship and 40 walk-ons. But you know what, these kids are practicing hard. We've got to coach them better."
No one in the Penn State camp is using the 61 scholarship aspect as an excuse for the loss.
"That's not an excuse," guard John Urschel said. "Indiana outperformed us today, irrespective of scholarships."
Second-guessing FG decision
O'Brien decided not to try a 43-yard field goal on the game's opening possession, instead going for it unsuccessfully on fourth-and-5 from the 26. The coach said he didn't think field goals would be enough to win the game, but afterward he second-guessed his decision.
"Hindsight being 20-20, probably should have kicked it there," he said.
Field-goal issues
It was a rough day for the field-goal unit. Snapper Ty Howle had a low snap when Sam Ficken was to try a 31-yard attempt in the first quarter, and the ball skipped past holder Alex Butterworth for a 31-yard loss.
Ficken later missed a 42-yard try in the second quarter, but PSU had called a timeout just before the kick. When he tried again, he kicked it low and had it blocked.
Personnel report
Robinson went down hard on his back and was tended to on the field for a couple of minutes, but he returned on PSU's next series. O'Brien and the players said they did not believe that play - which was nearly a touchdown - was an emotional turning point in the game. Stephen Obeng-Agyapong started at LB in place of Nyeem Wartman, who's nursing a shoulder injury. Freshman Zach Ladonis, who made the team at a tryout, was on the trip as a snapper.

Making Time to Build
Ryan Mitchell of The Tiny Life website has been keeping us posted about his exciting plans for a modified Fencl. In addition for guest writing for Tumbleweed, Ryan has been blogging about simple living, tiny houses, and environmentally responsible lifestyles on his website: we think he's awesome!
Like many of you, I have a lot on my plate. So when it came time to build my tiny house, I started to wonder when I'd fit it time in to actually finish my house. Right now I am juggling three jobs, running my blog over at The Tiny Life, writing a book and on top of it, building this Tiny House. For many of you, children are part of the equation, but there are plenty of people building homes with kids. So the question in your mind right now might be: how can I juggle everything in my life and build a tiny house?
Making time
The answer is actually part of what I call The Tiny Life; building a tiny house isn't fix-all cure that some wish to believe. In fact, in some regards building a tiny house is the simple part. In a way it plays into our consumer culture, why go out and buy something in an attempt to fix something. It is the lifestyle that many find difficult to adopt. We all know you have to reduce the amount of stuff we have, but along with the small house and the sparse possessions we must bring focus to the life we wish to live in that house.
It was at the point where I had decided to build my house that I sat down and wrote what was truly important to me, these were things that I felt were worthy of my time. From there I ordered them in terms of importance. It was this list that I then took and considered where I spend my energy and time.
Through this process I realized that some things simply couldn't be achieved right now because other things were more important to me; it meant that I had to say no to some things, which isn't a word often in our vocabulary in modern society. It was surprising to see how things that were a lower priority for me seemed to sneak into time that would be better used for more important things.
So take a few moments, even if it is on the back of a napkin on a coffee break, to write down your top 10 things that are most important to you and then consider how a shift if your time and energy might be needed. With this you will have to learn to say no to various activities. In this list you can begin to see where building your Tiny House will fit in and what things have to go in order to make the time. You might find that building your house is lower on the list, which means it will take a few years to complete, and that is okay because you are intentional about it. In the long run you are able to focus on what is truly important in your life and begin living The Tiny Life.

Volusia County Sheriff's deputies are looking to question a man they said is on a shopping spree with a stolen credit card, and apparently brought along a child.
The man and the child can be seen on surveillance video from a Marshalls store in Orlando.
Deputies said he also used the card at a Ross and to buy gas.
The credit card was swiped from a vehicle Sunday at Gemini Springs Park in Debary where there have been several vehicle break-ins.

Expanding Use of NGS Has Largely...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
Developers of DTC Genetic Testing Are...
In this regular feature, GEN keeps track of the biotech job market. This month's JobWatch focuses on a new hire and some new positions that are opening. [© Maksym Yemelyanov - Fotolia.com]
After laying off about 20 staffers—some 20% of its staff—back in September, Idenix added to its workforce this week, naming Jacques Dumas, Ph.D., as its new evp and CSO effective January 20.
Dr. Dumas, 47, joins Idenix from AstraZeneca, where he had served as vp and head of strategy, infection innovative medicines since December 2010, overseeing disease area strategy and external collaborations on behalf of the company's small molecule infectious diseases unit. Previously, he held the successive positions of associate director, medicinal chemistry and emerging products director. Dr. Dumas is also co-inventor of cancer drugs Nexavar and Stivarga.
"His knowledge and leadership will be important as we continue to conduct our nucleotide prodrug discovery work in HCV as well as explore potential therapeutic areas for which we can apply our chemistry expertise," Ron Renaud, Idenix' president and CEO, said in a statement.
Does that augur a broader anti-infectious disease pipeline? Or an even broader pipeline looking beyond infectious disease?
Yes, and yes.
"Over the last six months or so we have been talking about our very early stage efforts to evaluate our library of compounds for potential therapeutic area opportunities outside of HCV. This could be the broader infectious disease area or even beyond if it is an area where our nucleoside expertise could be useful," Idenix spokeswoman Teri Dalman told GEN.
Idenix' pipeline now consists exclusively of hepatitis drugs. It has an approved HBV treatment Tyzeko/Sebivo (telbivudine), to which Novartis has exclusive worldwide commercialization rights after co-developing the drug. The pipeline also includes several HCV drugs: once-daily pan-genotypic NS5A inhibitor IDX719 (samatasvir), now in Phase II study in a regimen with the Janssen/Medivir once-daily NS3/4A protease inhibitor simeprevir; IDX21437, a next-generation uridine nucleotide prodrug inhibitor for which Idenix launched healthy-volunteer patient enrollment for a Phase I/II clinical trial; a preclinical uridine nucleotide prodrug candidate IDX20963; and undisclosed "additional nucleotide inhibitors."
The company's R&D effort saw a setback in June, when FDA responded to its IND for IDX20963 by demanding additional preclinical safety data. Idenix said that would delay the launch of trials.
Two months later on September 9, Idenix launched a restructuring in which it cut its workforce at its Cambridge, MA, headquarters and a facility in Montpellier, France, by "approximately 20 positions," according to a quarterly Form 10-Q filed October 30 with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission—five more positions than the company disclosed a month earlier. Idenix said it would take between $2 million and $4 million in combined severance benefit charges and non-cash stock compensation expense—but expects to generate $2 million to $3 million in annual savings.
"We currently have approximately 85 employees and we are always looking for ways to make our organization more efficient and reduce costs," Dahlman said.
The same day as the layoffs were announced, Dr. Dumas' predecessor stepped down immediately—David Standring, Ph.D., who held the position since December 2010. Since his departure is deemed a termination other than for cause, Dr. Standring is entitled to $510,000 in severance benefits and acceleration of all unvested options.
According to a Form 8-K filed January 6 with the SEC, Dr. Dumas will be paid an annual base salary of $340,000, plus an annual cash performance bonus if the company's board of directors is satisfied with his performance. The actual bonus may range from zero to 200% of a target amount equal to 50% of his base salary.
Dr. Dumas will also receive options to purchase 250,000 shares of Idenix common stock that will vest over 48 months beginning January 31, and a cash sign on bonus of $225,000—an amount he has to repay, including any amounts withheld for taxes, if he is terminated for cause or he resigns other than for good reason on or before January 20, 2015. The repayment is reduced to 50% for his second year on the job, if he resigns on or before January 20, 2016.
A U.K. startup focused on developing a new class of cancer immunotherapies said this week it will use a recently won £80,000 (about $132,000) government grant to add three employees in R&D positions to help develop its Moditope technology platform.
Moditope uses CD4+ T cells to eradicate tumors, deploying citrullinated tumor-associated peptide epitopes to overcome self-tolerance and destroy tumor cells, with no requirement for blockade inhibitors such as CTLA4 antibodies and PD-1 inhibitors. Scancell says the platform can potentially be expanded to develop multiple immunotherapeutic agents for different cancers.
Scancell said Monday it received a grant from the Nottingham Technology Grant Fund (N'Tech). Funded by the Government's Regional Growth Fund, N'Tech is designed to support growth and expansion for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the city of Nottingham and vicinity through grants of between £20,000 (about $33,000) and £1 million (more than $1.6 million) per company.
"This funding will allow us to expand our skill base and boost our productivity at this important juncture in the Company's history," Richard Goodfellow, Ph.D., one of Scancell's two joint CEOs, said in a statement.
The other joint CEO and Moditope's inventor, Lindy Durrant, told GEN Thursday that the company will begin hiring for the three R&D staffers starting this month.
Scancell is one of 25 businesses that have secured a total of more than £2.2 million (more than $3.6 million) in grants toward 450 jobs through N'Tech, Lewis Stringer, business finance manager in the Nottingham City Council's economic development office, told GEN on Wednesday.

If you're traveling to our nation's capital today - or in the near future - you'll notice one big change among tourist destinations: The White House is now completely closed to the public.
Citing sequester spending cuts, President Barack Obama has shuttered the 220-year-old Neoclassical-style icon to outsiders until a solution to the nation's money woes can be hammered out in Congress.
Although this might not seem like a major setback for everyday Americans, it is just one more chink in the armor for our country's - and our president's - overall image.
Since construction of the White House was completed, the public has had complete access to the building and its ground. Sometimes, though, access has been too great, as demonstrated by job seekers who hounded then-President Abraham Lincoln relentlessly for a position in his administration. Despite that, the public's access continued.
That is, until the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks. The White House temporarily closed, not allowing access to outsiders or public tours until 2003. Since then, it has has been possible to gain a glimpse of the inner-workings of the Executive Office Mansion through guided tours prearranged through U.S. embassies and congressional representatives.
No more, though. And, even if the sequester spending cuts are remedied, the doors at 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. will likely remain closed forever.
Perhaps the most puzzling aspect of the closure is that stopping daily tours will not save all that much money. With the government facing $85 billion in spending cuts, the paltry wage paid to tour guides to usher citizens through the halls of the White House is but a thimble full of water dipped from an ocean of debt and overspending.
The real cost of the closure is the negative public perception, both here and abroad. The public relations nightmare of locking down the White House to tours takes much more of a toll on President Obama than the potential minuscule gains he will garner from the move.
This entire fiasco comes down to political grandstanding. President Obama is trying to shift the blame over the sequester cuts to the Republicans, and this is just one possible move he can make in this political chess match.
What's really needed to settle the sequester problem is a true bipartisan effort with compromise on both sides of the aisle.
The White House is not just the president's home and the seat of power for this great nation. Indeed, it is the true home of each and every American and a worldwide symbol of the merits of freedom and democracy.
The president has done a tremendous disservice to this country by closing the doors of the White House. He should think twice about about this and stop the political wrangling.

I chose a Blade Master (because I looooove being right in front of the action) and I can manage it just fine, however, I was wondering how you run around (basically in a circle) and attack at the same time? Any time I try to do that my camera loses its angle, I run too far to hit, etc etc. I was wondering if there was any trick or how they handle their keys?
Basically these two videos show the users doing what I'm asking:

The former Extra co-host admits underneath it all, she's just a normal girl with a work-in-progress figure.
"If I were to take my jeans off right now, you would see pre-cellulite," the reality star says in the July/August issue of Health magazine. "It doesn't look that good, but I'm okay with that. We're all human."
If Menounos makes it a priority to firm up her figure, she has her eye on a few celebrities who make working out look good – really good. And she's not afraid to let them know!
"Trust me: I'll see Giuliana Rancic's Tweets in the morning and she's like, at the gym at 4 a.m., and I'm thinking, 'God bless you!' I could never in a million years," she says. "I never look at anybody's body and think, 'Oh my God, I hate her.' What I do is admire."
Although the Chasing Maria Menounos star is all about embracing the skin she's in, her journey to total acceptance has been years of learning healthy habits.
James White / Health
"Even though I was skinny, I was eating so poorly that I landed in the hospital for dehydration and nutrient issues," she says. "I was in the hospital for a week with a rare intestinal infection. They thought I had SARS."
It was there, in that hospital room in France, that Menounos made the decision to start fresh. "I wrote on a piece of paper, I will not compromise my health for anyone or anything ever again. I still have that note," she says.

Winston-Salem police officer charged with assault at bar, resigns
Winston-Salem police officer charged with assault at bar, resigns
A Winston-Salem police officer who faces an assault charge following a downtown bar incident has resigned.
Michael Christopher Hodges, 23, was charged in connection with an incident Feb. 21 at the Burke Street Pub at 1110 Burke St.
Hodges resigned on Monday and was formally charged on Wednesday with assault inflicting serious injury on Evan Lawson, 21, of Kernersville.
Lawson had "visible injuries" to his face and was treated and released at a local hospital, Winston-Salem police said. Corey Grier Parker, 23, of Kernersville, also faces the same charge as Hodges.
"The diagnosed injuries to Evan Lawson met the statutory threshold for 'serious injury,'" police said in a statement.
The incident began a little after 1 a.m. inside the pub and moved into the parking lot of Burke Street Pizza at 1140 Burke St., police said. Lawson alleged Parker and Hodges punched and/or kicked him.
Hodges and Parker were released on $1,500 and $2,000 unsecured bonds, respectively, before their May 13 court appearances.
Hodges was with WSPD for two years. He was not on duty when the alleged assault occurred, police said.
