About a month ago SimCity was thrown on the market by Electronic Arts and you can almost take the word "throw" literally. The game was released and became just about the worst launch by EA in recent years. Too few servers, too many bugs and a necessary permanent internet connection made for an avalanche of complaints that just about killed the game. EA was quick to realise that a disaster was happening and did everything possible to save what they could. Additional servers were installed, developers had to work hours and hours to solve irritating problems, and to please the gamers, EA gave away a free game. The biggest initial issues have been resolved by now so time to see how the game plays at the moment.
The overwhelming avalanche of updates has decreased a bit but isn't completely finished yet. Each time you start up SimCity you wonder whether an update will need to be done, and it also takes quite a long time to install them. Which surprised us even more is that these updates aren't done in the background through Origin but only when you actually start up SimCity. For a game that swears by "always on" this seems very peculiar.
We didn't have any further server issues, but there's still plenty of bugs present. Sometimes the tips from the various departments get replaced by stars, and once we even got all detail windows appearing at the top of the screen, while the options at the bottom suddenly disappeared. It's irritating but nothing that can't be fixed by restarting the game. Things are worse when we talk about the AI which has some serious problems.
It starts small with for instance people asking for more stores while a big shopping mall across the street closes due to too few shoppers. It gets worse when you have a hospital with room for 40 patients but nobody seems to find their way to it. Or what about placing a big clinic to then get the assignment to open a clinic? Very irritating!
Quickly you notice that roads are extremely important. Forget about randomly adding some roads and then work further on them. From the first stone you better plan carefully as the available room in a city is very small and your roads also serve as method of transport for water, electricity and sewage system. Cut up an important road and suddenly half your town is without electricity. Also you often have to remove roads to make more room for bigger buildings and your inhabitants have the annoying habbit of constantly ending up in traffic jams. Put up a big road with trams, you think, but that means you have to shut down buildings and adjust your entire infrastructure.
This infrastructure adjusting isn't limited to roads. You build a big water plant, to then a few hours later finding out that all the water in the ground has disappeared and you need to demolish an entire living area to give your city water again. This while your plant is right next to a river! Not really logical…
That the cities are quite small you also notice in other things. The first hours you're busy plotting your town and adding new services, but once you reach a decent size and your approval rate gets towards 80 a 85% you notice you're reaching your limit. Luckily the region screen then comes to your aid. You can build multiple cities in a region and specialise them. It's no problem of not having a Finance department in your town, just make sure you've got one in your region and all cities will benefit from it.
The regions is one of the reasons Maxis uses to defend the need for permanent internet connection. After all, other players can join your region and build a city there and then you can exchange things with each other. Shortage of water? No problem, just buy it in the region! Shortage of electricity? Instead of placing a nuclear plant with the possibility of a meltdown you just buy it! All nice and fun, but when that other player suddenly gets fed up and shuts down his city, you're left with the issues!
No, the online part isn't really interesting and you do best to play on your own and decide for yourself to build multiple cities and then specialise them. The online features are present, but don't really add much.
If you read the above, then SimCity really looks like a bad game, but it isn't thàt bad. The old concept is still intact and you can still spend hours on building cities while the new regions do offer possibilities to connect towns and as such specialise. Graphically everything also looks quite nice and the gameplay does go deep enough to keep you clustered to your screen for about ten hours per city. It's just sad that after that initial period you clearly stumble upon the boundaries of the game and are almost forced to build a new town making you wonder whether it's worthwhile to keep the current one.
All in all SimCity is a missed opportunity. Maxis has put a lot of focus on the online part but the added value of this is minimal while all features could have just as well been put in an offline mode. Next to that too little attention was paid to a decent AI and a month after release there are still too many bugs present. SimCity as such is still a fun concept, but the way it's implemented isn't as it should have been. We hope a next SimCity takes this criticism along and does deliver a complete and satisfying package!

Teen Debit MasterCard
NEW Debit Card Mobile Alerts are here! Click here for more information and to sign up!
As a teen, you're probably beyond the excitement of putting coins into your piggy bank, how about moving on to some plastic? That's right; you might be ready for a debit card.
We want you to be informed about debit cards, how they work and how they differentiate from credit cards. Once you have a better understanding of how to use your money wisely, you can become a better decision maker as you get older and start getting those dreaded bills. But with wisdom, comes knowledge (yeah you've probably heard that from mom and dad, right?)
What is a debit card?
Debit cards can be used as a way to control your finances and spend responsibly. Since the funds from debit card transactions come out of your credit union checking account and are not borrowed from a line of credit. It is important to keep track of account balances and how much is being spent to avoid overdrafts and associated fees.
How does a debit card work?
Certain debit card transactions require a hold placed against your funds. This "pre-authorization" is a means of ensuring payment to the merchant. Pre-authorization holds for gas purchases can be more or less than the amount actually pumped based on whether you use your debit card with a PIN or signature.
It is always best to deduct the amount of your purchase from your available balance to avoid incurring overdrafts and fees. In some cases, merchants, such as hotels, airlines, and rental car companies send through pre-authorizations based on estimates of what they think you will spend. Many times you will not know the pre-authorization hold amount that has been placed on your available balance. When using your debit card for these types of charges, always check to see what your available balance is.
Using a PIN allows you to perform ATM transactions, make purchases at retailers with PIN pads, and receive cash back at participating retailers. PIN transactions are processed immediately and are reflected in your account almost instantly.
Your debit card is branded with MasterCard, and signature transactions are typically accepted by retailers or service providers that honor other MasterCard credit transactions. When you make a purchase using the "credit" option, the transaction places an authorization hold on the available funds in your account until the money is withdrawn generally within 2 to 3 business days.

Schnauzers 101 is proud to be the #1 Producer of T-CUP, Toy and Mini. MERLE SCHNAUZERS in the WORLD.
Feel free to call me anytime – 970-901-0216
Want to learn more about Merle Schnauzers: Schnauzers 101 (formally Designer Puppy's) is very proud to be the Major creator of the Merle Schnauzer.
Generational Chart:
1/2 = 50/50
3/4 = 75/25
7/8 = 84/16
1/16 = 92/8
So in all proper Merle Sch . crosses the % of offspring should always go up in each generation. Thus the higher number is the Sch. % in the dog.
When the breed was created
The first real know Merle Schnauzer was born in 2006 (Designer's Miss Baby Blue), people became immediately drawn to them as they are so uniquely colored. Merle Schnauzers were created to bring new colors to the great breed of the Schnauzer.
The Magic Cross and Personality
All Merle Schnauzers are made up of an original crossing of two breeds. In my cross I breed a Mini. Schnauzer and a Mini. Aussie. I am the first to do this cross, therefore I am the founder of the breed. I am also the very first one to document and register true Merle Schnauzers.Once you use the Aussie it will never be used again. Therefore the Aussie genetics' are bred out over time and the end result is to keep the Merle Gene. The overall goal is to have Stunning Exotic Merle Schnauzers.
My Merle Schnauzers are highly intelligent, very loyal and loving. They get along well with other pets and love to travel with the family. Merle Schnauzers are great for the whole family no matter what age you are. They love children and spend much of there time guarding them and their home. They are tough, playful, clever, fearless, hardy and love to go on walks or just hang out in the house. I will only use all AKC dogs in and after my first cross. All my puppies come with a full pedigree and registration papers.
This breed/cross is in no way aggressive……………..
A Mini. Aussie is not aggressive in anyway. Actually when in a uncomfortable situation they will run and hide. There is a breeder stating that they have aggressive personality's. This is absolutely not true. I think she is confusing them with the standard Aussie's, they have a different temperament then the Mini. Aussie's do. As do the Giant Schnauzers to the Mini. Sch.. If I went around and compared the Giants Schnauzers to the Minis, you would see a huge difference in personality's. A Giant in fact is very aggressive and a mini, not at all. So now think of the Standard Aussie and a Mini Aussie. Two different temperaments. So next time this breeder should do her homework first.
Life span and Size
The life span of a Merle Schnauzer should be about 12-15 years with minimal health problems. They are great dogs for people who have allergies, since they have little to no shedding. The more generations of Schnauzer crossed in leads to less shedding. They can adapt to any climate and like city life or the country life.
Merle Schnauzers come in a variety of sizes, from T-CUP (3-5 lbs.), Toy (6-10 lbs.) to Mini. (11-22 lbs.).
Merle Schnauzers come in an array of colors: Keep in mind that not all babies in a litter are Merle, this is why the MSCA has Categories for all colors.
Black, Blue Merle, Liver, Chocolate Merle, Liver N Tan, Liver N Tan Merle, Liver Pepper, Liver N Pepper Merle, Wheaton, Wheaton Merle, Silver, Silver Merle, Black & Silver, Black & Silver Merle, White, White Chocolate, Salt N Pepper, Salt N Pepper Merle and all of these colors come in Parti colors too.
Why I have done this!
Back in 2005 I met a lady in Ark. (Janell Newby), she bought some TOY Schnauzer puppies from me. Then she sent me a email of a few pic.'s. of her Blue Merle. The first word from my mouth was WOW. I knew it was a cross. I called her right away to find out how she got it. She started with a Pom and a Schnauzer, called a Pomanoz. Now I have always been a Merle fan in other breeds, but never thought of crossing to get it. I have always only bred AKC dogs. And I still do bred AKC dogs too. So I decided at that moment to bred a cross of my own to produce Merles. I started my search for a good cross, thinking I could find a cross that would be more like a Schnauzer. These Merles are no accident, I did much research to find the best cross I could.
What is my goal……….
My goal is to produce the highest quality T – CUP, TOY & MINI. MERLE SCHNAUZER'S as possible. I do now have my Merle's 100% AKC Blooded.
Old Registry and New registery
NEW REGISTRY: Yes these new exciting colors of the Merle's are registered threw the MERLE SCHNAUZER CLUB OF AMERICA. As the Schnauzer breed has evolved over the last 15 years with more and more colors coming out. Now I have helped to included a new color. OLD REGISTRY: I am the first person to Register the Merles with the ACHC. I registered them first there as Mini. Schnauzzies, but had to quit with them since they will only let you register the first two generations and then you have to go back to your cross. The second reg. company that I went with was the DDKC, they contacted me after the owner and President of the company had visited my site and had read about what I was trying to accomplish. She then offered for me to register with them. I was also allowed to rename the bred and chose Confetti Schnauzers. I am the creator/founder of Confetti Schnauzers. The name really stands for all colors, lots of exciting colors. It is all part of Evolving. The name Confetti Schnauzers has nothing to do with the Merle color, it is a name for the bred cross.
Anyone who has bred Schnauzers very long and knows their history and colors that came with this bred and Merle is not one of them. So no matter what if you find a Merle Schnauzer there was another breed added along the way.
After much encouragement by AKC, APRI and other Registration Company's I started a Parent Club for the Merles. All dog breeds have only one Parent Club, the role of each is to set the standards of the breed. Once the Parent Club was off the ground I was once again encouraged by many clients to also Register the dogs just as the Labrodoodle Parent Club does. So now the MSCA is like the AKC for the Merle Schnauzers. Our final resting place for the breed.
Getting real
People who have problems with the Merles should keep reading.
***Purebred dog owners may put down the humble mixed breed dog the strange thing is: Purebred Dogs Are Merely Strain-Refined Mutts! ALL dog breeds were mixes to start with.
All dog breeds are essentially mixed breeds even the purebreds. Purebred dogs are so entitled because over several generations they have been specifically bred for selective traits. The same thing is happening here with the Merles just in this day and age. Yes it will take many generations to go back and have the same great purebred Schnauzer. But it will happen.
Take a look at the new colors brought/re-birthed into the Schnauzers in the early 90's. Parti, Liver, Liver N Tan, White Chocolate and Wheaton. If you know even the simplest genetics you will know that these colors were absolutely not possible without breeding them in with another bred just as I have.

Our veranda cabin was a decent size and gorgeous. Truly pleasant and comfortable. The precise temperature control mechanism on the shower was very nice (wish we had at home!). The air conditioning and control were absolute, quiet, and contributed much to our comfort. Closets and drawers were adequate. Lighting was more than adequate.
The entire ship is spectacular and very well maintained.
The problem with Costa is its passenger services model. Food quality was good but not excellent or up to the standards we experienced on Princess or NCL. The selections of foods and eating options was barely adequate. We much prefer the larger options available on other cruise lines.
In fact, we are now fans of the Free Style Cruising offered by NCL. We so much more enjoyed choices, options, and food on NCL, compared to Costa.
Entertainment on Costa two nights was professional and excellent. The other nights represented what I would call a good performance by a high school group.
But one must keep in mind that Costa is a GOOD VALUE. Our Mediterranean Cruise on Costa was substantially less expensive than other lines. In short, eating is diminished, entertainment is diminished, the features and beauty of the ship and service are not diminished. You get what you pay for.
Capernum and Peter's house is a must see.

A series of weak data points on Thursday gave investors renewed confidence the Federal Reserve likely won't raise interest rates until the year's end at the earliest.

Orson Scott Card's Three-Decade Run
Orson Scott Card, one of the greats of contemporary science fiction and fantasy, is best known for two long story sequences. The series that began with 1985's "Ender's Game" (11 books, counting its spin-off "Shadow" series) stars a young hero fighting, initially, against an alien race known as the Formics. The "Alvin Maker" books (six so far, begun in 1987) are set in an "alternate-history," frontier America where folk magic still works. Now Mr. Card has almost simultaneously brought out two books, each starting a fantasy series.
Mr. Card tells us that "The Lost Gate" (Tor, 384 pages, $24.95) has been more than 30 years in gestation; what held him up was working out a proper magic system. To do that, you not only have to show magic working but also have to explain why, for the rest of us, it doesn't. You can have the witches and wizards off to one side of the mundane world, for instance, keeping themselves hidden, as in the "Harry Potter" books. Or you can have old divinities still functioning at a reduced level, as in Neil Gaiman's "American Gods." Or you can set the tales in a different world entirely, as with Ursula Le Guin's "Earthsea." Anything, so long as there is a system of some kind to give the story a spine.
Mr. Card employs bits of each strategy. In "The Lost Gate," Danny North is a member of a magic family whose leaders call themselves things like Thor, Odin and Freya. Long ago, the Norths came from another world, along with other families, setting themselves up here as the gods of the Norse or the Greeks or the Persians. It means, to quote a bit of Mr. Card's brilliant opening sentence, that Danny grew up "surrounded by fairies, ghosts, talking animals, living stories, walking trees, and gods who called up wind and brought down rain."
All the members of the North family have magic talents, such as being a "beastmage" or a "windmage" (able to control animals or weather), except for poor Danny. He seems to be what J.K. Rowling would call a "squib," little better than an ordinary no-Talent person or "muggle"—Mr. Card calls them "drowthers." It turns out, however, that Danny has the rarest talent of all, to be a "gatemage," and this is deadly dangerous. Long ago, Loki, the trickster god of the Norse, closed all magical gates, including the return gate to their home world of Westil. Anyone who can open the gates again will gain great sorcerous power, and the other families are intensely afraid of this.
Danny goes on the run, trying to survive in hardscrabble America. Meanwhile, on Westil itself, it looks as if the long imprisonment of Loki the Gatethief is coming to an end. In future volumes one can expect the two worlds to start to interact, as they did in Philip Pullman's "Dark Materials" trilogy. Mr. Card is giving a kind of tour of fantasy possibilities while integrating them into his intricately imagined system of magic. One of the system's charms is that it explains such a lot: what ghosts are (the fading "outselves" that mages can project), what fairies are (playful creations that mages make from trash, plants and petals), and why all Indo-European gods have such strong family resemblances. The hints of real history behind the families are especially enticing: I look forward to learning more.
Mr. Card's "Pathfinder" (Simon & Schuster, 672 pages, $18.99) is another "boy on the run" story, this time about Rigg, a child who lives by trapping in the forests of a world called Garden and who can see "thin shimmering trails" traced in the air where people and animals have been. But then the man he calls Father dies, his community drives him out and he is forced to flee. Rigg turns out to be a prince in hiding, in a society where a revolutionary council is close to executing all royals. In exile he finds helpers—a friend who can go back in time, a sister who can make herself invisible—but the world of Garden becomes more and more mysterious. Where, exactly, is it? What are the "Walls"? What is the significance of numbers like 19 and 11,191? Why can Rigg see everyone's "paths" but Father's?
As with "The Lost Gate," there is a parallel narrative in "Pathfinder," and it is a classic science-fiction one, not fantasy at all. An experiment with interstellar flight has had unexpected results, which are causing temporal aberrations on Garden. Rigg's life as a trapper helps him to understand that on Garden there are two unrelated sets of animals that cannot interact, even as predator and prey. The set that includes humans has been "superimposed" on the native set by a longpast experiment in "terraforming," which came close to xenocide. In future volumes Rigg will no doubt confront this decision, made by computers, just as the hero of "Ender's Game" had to make amends for his own unwitting near-genocide of the Formics.
"Pathfinder" is billed as a book for young adults, while "The Lost Gate" is not, but the designations could easily be swapped. This just shows what a lot of good work there is in the young-adult and fantasy fields these days. No wonder the two together are making such an impact on the movie industry, including not just the "Narnia" and "Harry Potter" films but Mr. Gaiman's "Stardust" and the upcoming two-part adaptation of J.R.R. Tolkien's "Hobbit."
Could Mr. Card's complex explanations and quasi-technologies, like the gate-transits of "Lost Gate," be made visual? It would be a challenge. It may be that Mr. Card is just too literary, too devoted to skill on the verbal level, to make the medium-shift—but then, they said that about Tolkien. What Mr. Card does especially well, perhaps because of his Mormon upbringing and beliefs, is deal with "folk of the fringe," to quote one of his own titles—folk very much like us muggles, sharing nearly all of the disabilities of our humanity, but commanding just that magic something extra that we all wish we had too.
—Mr. Shippey's latest book is "The Shadow-Walkers: Jacob Grimm's Mythology of the Monstrous" (Brepols).

Q. After a failed attempt to use Outlook 2007, I decided to try again and reloaded it. Now I cannot get it to start up completely. Even after uninstalling and reinstalling all Office 2007 programs, Outlook comes partially up, and then a windows says it cannot connect to something and then closes. All of the suggested fixes for this involve actually loading Outlook, but I cannot get that far. Any suggestions?
A. One of the things I have discovered about Microsoft Office programs such as Outlook, Word, Excel and others is that, even after you uninstall the application, remnants of the program seem to stay lodged in your computer.
On countless occasions I have found myself completely uninstalling Microsoft Office and reinstalling it, only to find that configuration settings and registry entries from the previous install have not gone away.
To completely remove Office involves a lot of work and the method varies from version to version so I won't go into that right now.
Fortunately you don't need to go through all that rigmarole to resolve this particular issue.
Outlook uses profiles to manage e-mail accounts within the program. Typically one would access the account settings from within Outlook but in a situation like this where Outlook won't fully load you can access the settings inside The Control Panel by clicking on the Mail icon. This icon is located under the User Accounts section of the Control Panel in Windows 7.
In this window you can modify your Outlook account settings or even create an entirely new Outlook profile.
For information on just what to do when you access this, check out the Microsoft article How to create and configure an e-mail profile in Outlook 2007 and Outlook 2003

The hype machine was in full effect.
It turned out to be nothing more than that for this skilled Michigan team. Hype.
The fourth-seeded Wolverines sliced through VCU's full-court press with ease in a 78-53 bludgeoning of the Rams. They will face the winner of No. 1 Kansas and No. 8 North Carolina on Friday in Dallas.
All told, they made it look easy. Just don't tell that to Michigan coach John Beilein -- he'll laugh at you.
"It may have been easy to you," Beilein said, shaking his head. "We started the second half with three turnovers. They do a great job of that. We don't see that in our league."
Maybe that helps explain a lot.
The Wolverines (28-7) finished the season in a funk, splitting their final 12 games before the tournament, but now are clicking as they get out of Big Ten play and face faster-paced teams.
Their guards are experienced and sure-handed, and their wings -- even their big man, Mitch McGary -- all run the floor well.
Maybe while everyone was talking about VCU's intense full-court press, they should have been talking about how good this matchup was for the sure-handed Wolverines.
"Everyone was talking about how great their press was, and how many turnovers they force, but I think we're tops in the country at holding onto the ball," freshman point guard Spike Albrecht said. "We were able to get stops and get out and run, and that was the difference in the game."
The key for Michigan in this game was always to break the press. Teams that lost to VCU this year averaged 21.7 turnovers per game, and teams that won averaged 12.0.
Michigan committed 12 -- three more than it averages -- and point guard Trey Burke committed a season-high seven.
But that proved to be good enough, especially considering Michigan's explosive transition game shredded the press for bucket after bucket once the ball advanced down the court.
Tim Hardaway Jr. had 14 points, including an emphatic reverse dunk in transition. Glenn Robinson III had 14, including a breathtaking alley-oop dunk.
"I wouldn't say it was easy to break the press, because it tired us all out," guard Nik Stauskas said. "But we're in good shape, and we've worked all year on ballhandling and passing skills and that all plays in here.
"It was just a great matchup for us, because if they're not getting turnovers, then we're getting out and running, and that's when we're at our best. Open dunks and open 3s.
"You saw the rest. And we're headed to the Sweet 16 with a little swag."

FAO Working Paper Addresses Issues on Assessing Trees Outside Forests
2 April 2013: The Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN (FAO) prepared a Working Paper, titled "Towards the Assessment of Trees Outside Forests," to assist in assessing trees outside forests as part of the Global Forest Resource Assessment (FRA) 2010. The objective of the report is to provide agencies responsible for the management and analysis of forests with tools, methodologies and case studies to better assess and monitor this resource.
The 345-page Resources Assessment Working Paper was authored by Hubert de Foresta, Eduardo Somarriba, August Temu, Désirée Boulanger, Hélène Feuilly and Michelle Gauthier. It highlights the importance of trees outside forests in providing food and sources of income, and in supporting biodiversity. However, despite their importance, the paper states that such trees are often excluded from assessments of forests and forest resources. This is, in part, due to confusion over the definition of trees outside forests including ambiguities concerning shifting cultivation, rubber plantations, linear tree formations (such as windbreaks and living fences), agro-forestry and urban trees.
Discussions in the paper are organized around seven themes on trees outside forests that are linked to the FRA themes: extent of resources, biological diversity, health and vitality, productive functions, protective functions, socio-economic functions, and legal, policy and institutional framework.
The paper presents four key recommendations: that countries should carry out an assessment of trees outside forests based on the methods suggested in the report; the role that the FAO-FRA should play in assessing and reporting on trees outside forests; that in preparation for FRA-2015, definitions related to trees outside forests should be clarified; and that a clear way forward should be developed for assessments of trees outside forests including through workshops on the main report themes and by establishing a step by step agenda to meet global objectives. [Publication: Towards the Assessment of Trees Outside Forests]

With the Rangers cap situation less than ideal, it's not very likely that they'll have the ability to replace both Brad Richards and Beniot Pouliot through free agency or a trade.
While Glen Sather will most assuredly find a way to acquire a substitute for one of the two, it's looking more and more likely JT Miller, along with his $894,167 per year salary, will be designated with the responsibility of filling the remaining vacancy.
Here's Rangers web content provider Jim Cerny, who is more dialed in than anyone on Blueshirt management thinking, during a recent live chat on the Rangers website…
"Not only will JT Miller get a chance to stick right out of training camp, the Rangers are really hoping that he can make a big step forward in his development this season…they really need him to be a solid regular next season among their forwards…he really is a crucial piece to this team's success next year if you think about it..he doesn't need to score 20 goals, but he needs to be a solid, trustworthy, 2-way forward..and the more he scores, even better!"
Meanwhile, Sather added this about the Rangers 2012 first round pick during a draft press conference last month…
"We expect Miller to come and play this year. He probably would've played throughout the playoffs if he hadn't had his separated shoulder. He's young. He fits into the price range. He's going to develop into becoming a very good hockey player. He had a lot of growth this year, and did well."
I had a spirited debate with a fellow Rangers fan on Twitter the other day regarding Miller being handed a line-up spot. While it's doubtful Alain Vigneault already has him penciled in on the third line for opening night in St. Louis, it seems obvious that the organization feels their former first round pick deserves first crack at proving he's worthy.
Last season in Hartford, the 6'1″, 205lb forward was a point per game player (42 points in 41 games) and more than held his own in the 30 NHL contests he participated in (3g, 3a). Also, if you remember correctly, Beniot Pouliot's season was jumped started while on a line centered by Miller, not Derrick Brassard, in late December. The Ohio native is also one of the few Rangers players willing to pay the price physically to make a play either in front of the net or in the corner.
While Miller didn't have a ton of chances in the postseason because of the above mentioned injury, he did have a huge impact in Game 5 against the Flyers when he came up with a big assist on a Brad Richards goal…
Miller is also very confident in his ability and isn't afraid of the moment or to make a mistake.
Unfortunately, that borderline cockiness can get him into trouble as proved by Vigneault's questioning of his commitment in April (via New York Post)…
"He just hasn't earned the right to be at this level on a regular basis," Vigneault said. "He needs to show more commitment on the ice and off. Until he does that, he hasn't earned the right.
"J.T. has to figure it out and hopefully he will," Vigneault added. "When he does, we're going to have a good player. If he doesn't, he will be a good minor league player."
Some Rangers fans misconstrued those comments as meaning Miller had fallen out of favor with Vigneault, but it was quite the contrary. I'd say Vigneault had a pretty good grasp on which of his players needed to be coddled and which needed tough love this season. For Miller, it was the latter. Most young players have to be put in their place every once in awhile to learn what it takes to become a pro and that's exactly what Vigneault did here.
Two weeks after those comments, Vigneault not only publicly expressed confidence in Miller, he followed that up by trusting the rookie with crucial minutes during the postseason. Not exactly how a coach who's lost faith in a player reacts. It was a masterful way of AV taking Miller down a peg and then building him back up.
And while Miller won't be mistaken for a Selke Trophy candidate anytime soon, he's not exactly Alex Ovechkin either…
The 21-year old forward had a 51% Corsi (% of team shots for vs. against while a player is on the ice) during the regular season and a 56.8% Corsi in the playoffs. His playoff Corsi was 1.2% higher than the Rangers postseason Corsi average. So, he wasn't a complete liability on the ice.
If Miller does fight his way into the line-up during training camp, they'll be bumps along the way complete with scoring slumps, defensive miscues and possible healthy scratches. But this is how an organization builds for long-term success. Replace aging, over-priced free agents with young, talented alternatives and allow them to develop. Hey, it worked for the Kings.
The acquisition of the 38-year old Dan Boyle proves the Rangers remain in win now mode despite losing integral pieces from their run to the Stanley Cup Finals, so it's not ideal counting on an unproven commodity to play such a large role this season. However, Miller has the tools to compete at the NHL level, while a resurgent Rick Nash and a full season of Martin St. Louis should alleviate some pressure on the rookie to replace the departed scoring output. Yes, Pouliot's shoes will be hard to fill, but at the end of the day he finished the season with a very dispensable 36 points, which Miller is more than capable of matching or even eclipsing.

I've heard magnesium citrate, taken in the evenings, may help.
I don't have a problem getting uninterrupted sleep, though I find I need 8-9 hrs per night, which is still annoying!
I know segmented sleep is our traditional sleep pattern, persisting well past the neolithic age until the industrial revolution brought us electronic lights.
I still find it awfully annoying in the modern age. I've been primal for a couple months now, and I've found myself unwillingly practicing segmented sleep for a good month. I wake four or five hours after falling asleep, read for an hour and a half or so, and then conk back out until I've reached my eight hours total. I'm not tired in the least (unless I skip the "conk back out" part, in which case I'm a mess and conk out during the day), and my caffeine consumption has collapsed, but ten hours in bed to get a good night's sleep is driving me a little bit crazy.
Has anyone else run into this? Any suggestions for sleeping straight through the night?
I've heard magnesium citrate, taken in the evenings, may help.
I don't have a problem getting uninterrupted sleep, though I find I need 8-9 hrs per night, which is still annoying!
Everything in moderation, including moderation.
I sometimes get this but other times only need 4-5 hours of sleep. It's odd, to say the least.
In all of the universe there is only one person with your exact charateristics. Just like there is only one person with everybody else's characteristics. Effectively, your uniqueness makes you pretty average.
I get this frequently, but I enjoy it. It seems to make the night longer. I lay there enjoying the quiet and the darkness, feeling warm and relaxed, and daydream (I refuse to think about work or drama at this time) until I slip back into sleep. I kinda miss it when I sleep straight through and I go straight from my head hitting the pillow to grumping out of bed. I always feel a little out of sorts without my little bit of 'me' time at night.
try some yoga right before bed that will induce sleep, I am trying tratak (candle gazing) right before bed to help increase melatonin. Its to soon to tell if it is working or not but I did have a better night sleep last night.

Since going on the Paleo diet, both the wife & I wake up 1 or 2 hours earlier every morning. We just don't need as much sleep.
Also, blood pressure is now normal for both of us, as we were both high blood pressure for many years before.
Do you wake up for any specific purpose? I had a habit of drinking a lot of water almost right before bed and at one point it would cause me to wake up to pee without fail.
I too have noticed this very thing. I'll wake up at like 3:00 feeling totally rested. An hour or two later I zonk out again until the alarm goes off. As the OP said, when I don't get that second wave of sleep it catches up to me. I will usually feel great that day and very productive in the early part of the day. By 5 or 6 though I'm feeling like a truck hit me if it's happened a few days in a row. All that said, for the most part I feel great all day, everyday. I have more energy than almost anyone I know so all is well.

TU men v. Michigan Tech
February 5, 2009 - Zach Baker
Michigan Tech leads, 8-5, with 14:35 left. So far, TU's defense has been OK, but it has been burned by a pair of 3's. RobbyStringborn has one, Sean Geary the other.
-At the 9:52 mark, the Huskies lead, 11-9. Brian Scott has hit a pair of early jumpers, and Mohammed Fall has a 3. TU's defense continues to be tough, although it is racking up the fouls. It already has six.
-Back-to-back 3's from Springborn and Georgio Holt have upped the Michigan Tech edge to 18-11.
It's 21-15 with 5:12 left. The Dragons cannot let this deficit climb into the double digits, and the Huskies keep draining 3's.
-TU trails, 24-17, at the 3:59 mark. Huskies have made six 3-pointers, making this first half feel a lot like the last one I watched.
-Huskies lead, 34-24 at the half. The defense has been generally good, but the Dragons have allowed Michigan Tech too many open looks from deep.
Robby Springborn leads all scorers with 13. Fall has six for TU.
This is the best I've seen the TU men play this year, period. With 14:40 left, the Dragons are coming off a 10-2 run, which cut the Huskies lead to 36-34.
-As we crawl under 10 minutes, Huskies hold a 42-36 lead. Huskies are 12 of 16 from the line, TU is 2 of 4. Dragons have eight team fouls, Huskies 3.
-With 4:42 left, Springborn is taking over. He just hit his fifth 3, and he has 21 points. The Huskies lead, 54-38. TU's Alex Strok has spent much of the second half on the bench, apparently because coach Rodney Martin has been something less than thrilled with his defense.
-Not sure if TU has run out of steam or what, but it is trailing 63-42 with 2:14 left. Strok remains on the bench, and the offense has struggled in the last several minutes,
This one's over.

Aircraft owners often take pleasure in contemplating federal aviation taxes. That's because much federal tax planning in this area focuses on deductions and thus on taxes the aircraft owner might save. Comparable deductions are frequently available for state tax purposes, but when the spotlight shines on state tax it usually illuminates how much the owner must pay.

Comments Thread For: Kieran Farrell on His Move into Training and Retirement
Heywoods Kieran Farrell has had good days and bad days since being told that his boxing career is over. The 22-year-old suffered bleeding and swelling to the brain after dropping a 10-round decision to Anthony Crolla for the vacant English lightweight title at Manchesters Bowlers Arena on December 7. Farrell, 14-1 (3), was kept in hospital for observation for a few days then faced an anxious couple of weeks before his doctor confirmed that his career was over due to the irreparable damage sustained in the bout.

Never miss a great news story!Get instant notifications from Economic TimesAllowNot now
By: Sanjeev Sinha, ECONOMICTIMES.COM With the Budget day around the corner, people have started speculating if the Finance Minister will gift a low-tax budget to the nation. After all, there's nothing more demoralizing than watching your hard-earned income get slashed by taxes. Still, every year lakhs of taxpayers overpay their taxes just by overlooking the breaks they deserve. The prime reason being that tax claims and deductions have been the most cumbersome process for an individual, and one is more likely to forget some breaks while making a claim. The budget proposals will be for the next year (i.e. April 2013 to March 2014). However, you can reduce your current year's (i.e. April 2012 to March 2013) tax bill just by claiming all the breaks you deserve. Here we take a look at some of the most-overlooked tax breaks:

I have enjoyed creating all my life. I love making things with different textures and colors. My favorite is to recycle an item into something unique and most importantly, useful.View all patterns by designer (38) »
When my kids were babies, I made up some of the pentagon balls using my Grandmother's stash of polyester scraps. It worked out fabulous!! If you can imagine all the bright colors and funky patterns. It made a really cute ball. I put some jingle bells inside to make them jingle when the kids played with them.
So I got thinking about my felted sweaters and thought they would sew up nicely into a ball. Sure enough, it worked out great.
I don't have any little ones around my house anymore, but my border collie loves them, and I am sure cats would get a kick out them too.
This is a simple fun project for even the beginner seamstress.

The actor, who has played Blake Lively's love interest on television and now plays James Franco's in the movies, didn't mind comparing the two when it comes to their lip-locking styles.
How does Franco fare? "He was fine," Tveit told PEOPLE nonchalantly on Wednesday at the New York premiere of Howl, which costars Franco.
And how about Lively, whom Tveit romanced as Trip van de Bilt on Gossip Girl? "She was awesome," he replied enthusiastically. Better than Franco? "Yeah, sorry James," Tveit said with a smile. More of an electric charge with Lively? "Yes," Tveit admitted. "Definitely!"
Perhaps the scene with Franco was just unfamiliar territory – since it was the first time Tveit had kissed a man. How did Tveit prepare to shoot the scene? "I guess some breath mints," he says. "Make sure everyone's on the same page."
"Luckily it was the last day I worked on the movie, so it was easier," he says. "I'm wearing underwear, and he's wearing clothes."
For his part, Franco – who plays beat poet Allen Ginsberg in Howl and also kissed Sean Penn's character in Milk – told PEOPLE that doing same-sex love scenes isn't a big deal for him.
"I don't really think about it," he said. "I just do it."

Part of the dysfunction of Birmingham government has to do with the way we elect our city leaders. The mayor is elected on one cycle to a four-year term, then City Council members are elected two years later for four-year terms. Or vice versa. Doesn't really matter, because what we end up with are city elections every two years, either for mayor or council.
The problem is that City Council members can run for mayor, lose, then resume their place on the City Council. A mayor, angered by an upstart council member's nerve at running for his job, can retaliate by not helping that council member get projects for her district.
And the vicious cycle continues.
State Rep. Merika Coleman has proposed a fix that would help. Coleman would have the person elected mayor in next year's election serve only two years, then run again when City Council elections are next held in 2013. That way, if a City Council member wants to run for mayor, that council member would have to give up his council seat.
That makes a lot of sense. We've seen how ugly campaigns can get when mayors and City Council members run against each other for mayor. Coleman's bill would fix that. Other cities have synchronized elections. It would work in Birmingham, too.
Some council members oppose the bill, but that's probably because they're planning to run for mayor and they want to hedge their bets by being allowed to stay on the council while they run for mayor. Let's clean up the mayor and council elections by removing one factor that encourages animosity.
What do you think?

Originally published at: http://www.howtogeek.com/188920/how-to-put-short-notes-in-the-windows-taskbar/
There's plenty of third-party programs and other widgets that may help you keep information close at hand. Here's a neat trick to keep short notes or other small pieces of information accessible from the taskbar without any extra software.
Is there anyway to get the batch file to put a particular icon on the shortcut created?
One little nit. In your code example, you end up using smart quotes, and those need to be changed to dumb ASCII quotes. Otherwise the command doesn't work.
You can assign an icon to the template.lnk file by right clicking it in Explorer, choosing Properties, and choosing Change Icon in the Shortcut (default) tab. Can it be changed programmatically? Possibly, but I don't see it via a batch file. If you have a limited number of icons that you want to chose, you can just make copies of the batchfile using different template files, and set your template files up with different icons.
SET /P X=Text for note:
COPY "E:\Users\Bryan\Documents\Notes\Template1.lnk" "E:\Users\Bryan\Documents\Notes\Notes\%X%.lnk"
SET /P X=Text for note:
COPY "E:\Users\Bryan\Documents\Notes\Template2.lnk" "E:\Users\Bryan\Documents\Notes\Notes\%X%.lnk"
And so on.
You could call one makephone.cmd to make a phone icon, makeemail.cmd to make an email icon, and so forth.
Correct bytehead. That one nearly caught me too but I sorted it also.
Of course bytehead, I never thought of changing the icon in the template file lol... Sorted
As @bytehead said, there's really not a way to arbitrarily choose icons via a Batch file. Though PowerShell has many more features and capabilities, I doubt it's easy (if at all possible) to do it there, either.
The easiest thing to do if you want an icon choice is to create multiple template files with icons you expect to use often, and make a separate batch file for each template. You could also use a CHOICE command in your batch file to enable selection of a template without having to have separate batch files for each. (You'd still need separate templates for each preferred icon though.)
Yeah, if you want to get into PowerShell or VBS (I really was only looking at CMD.EXE...), you can manipulate the icon. If you know what you are doing.
Editing shortcut (.lnk) properties with PowerShell
You can stuff the icon and icon number in.
$shell = New-Object -COM WScript.Shell
$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut('c:\Fully\Qualified\Location\of\linkfile.lnk')
For instance:$shortcut.IconLocation='%SystemRoot%\system32\SHELL32.DLL,160'would set the icon to that used in the example in Windows 7.
Playing around with this has shown me that:$shortcut = $shell.CreateShortcut('.\tempfile.lnk')Will actually create the link on the root of C: drive. E:.\tempfile.lnk will put it on the root of E:
I really think one would be better off with multiple template files.
I took mine just one little step further. I use a Desktop Prog for texting via my mobile provider without having to go to their Website, it's called Cabbage. I included the path to that Prog in my Template file so when I open my Taskbar contact list, if I click on any of the numbers it opens the Cabbage Prog. Not perfect but at least I get a little more millage out of the shortcuts.
Have you looked into the documentation for the program? It might have a command-line option that allows you to shortcut creation of a new text (i.e.: pre-fill the phone number).
If so, you could use PowerShell per the instructions linked in @bytehead's post to custom-build those shortcuts. Alternatively, you could actually use a batch script to build other batch scripts (instead of shortcuts) that will do the same job. Or you could use a batch script to write those batch scripts, and put them into another folder, then make pretty shortcuts to the batch scripts in your taskbar folder.
What Jacob says. Command line options might make using Cabbage in this manner easier. Even if you have to manually manipulate the shortcuts after you create them, it's a one and done deal. Just make sure that you back them up once you've got them the way you want them.

Peter J. Rossi, MD, who started practicing at Emory in 2006, is Assistant Professor of Radiation Oncology at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University.
Radiation Oncology (Board certified since 2007)
Areas of Expertise
- American Brachytherapy Society Fellowships in low dose rate (LDR) and high dose rate (HDR) brachytherapy for prostate cancer treatment
- Prostate Cancer
- IMRT/IGRT/Rapid ARC and CalypsoMedical technologies to treat prostate cancer and other cancers
- Bladder cancer/tumors
- Cervical/Uterine/Vulvar/Vaginal cancer
- Testicular cancer
- Clinical trials
- Resident and medical student education and research
Groundbreaking Research and Clinical Trials
Dr. Rossi is an expert in prostate cancer and gynecological malignancies. He is involved in groundbreaking studies to improve patients' survival from prostate cancer after failure from surgery; improving outcome in patients with aggressive prostate cancer requiring upfront radiation and the need for hormonal therapy; improving patients understanding of cancer treatments by investigating ways to improve comprehension of education material and improving quality of life after treatment of prostate brachytherapy and pelvic radiotherapy.
Through clinical studies, Dr. Rossi is identifying the appropriate amount of radiation or brachytherapy seed treatment necessary to cure prostate cancer. He is one of only a few radiation oncologists in Georgia solely dedicated to improving treatments and side effects associated with treatments for prostate cancer.
Dr. Rossi was first in Georgia to utilize Calypso medical technology—a system to localize and track prostate motion during external radiation treatments for prostate cancer to better "find" the cancer and minimize the side effect from radiation exposure to adjacent critical organs.
He was also first to treat prostate cancer using Rapid Arc technology, combined with Calypso medical technologies, one of a very few places in the world both groundbreaking treatment technologies are utilized together. Emory introduced IMRT technology in the late 1990's to Georgia. Rapid Arc is a further improvement of the concept of this technology that Emory is one of the first to introduce to patient care of cancer.
As an academic physician involved in clinical trials to advance practice standards, Dr. Rossi teaches fellows, residents and medical students, and directs patient care. He works in the only NCI-designated cancer center in Georgia, integrating surgical oncology, medical oncology, radiation oncology, pathology, radiology and a multitude of ancillary services to best assist patients with newly diagnosed or recurrent cancer.
He is principal investigator for institutional and national clinical research studies to advance current care of patients with cancer.
Dr. Rossi writes questions for national board exams for radiation oncologists. He has multiple publications in international peer reviewed journals focusing on improving treatment outcomes in prostate cancer and gynecological malignancies. He serves on editorial review boards and scientific education committees for notable radiation oncology journals and national/international radiation oncology organization. He is the vice-chair of a committee in the national organization of radiation oncologists (ASTRO).
He has written studies for novel interventions to improve the quality of life of patients receiving brachytherapy for prostate cancer or external radiation therapy for treatment of prostate cancer or gynecological malignancies. He lectures and instructs nationally on the technique/skill of brachytherapy or seed implants for the treatment of prostate cancer. He is involved in establishing practice quality review (PQR) standards for other radiation oncologist to measure their skill/quality of cancer care.

Mouse Strauss is in my mind. I hate it when he gets there. He's my inconvenient truth.
Strauss was a boxer, a loser. His schtick was that he had been knocked out more than anyone in history. How many times? He didn't know. Maybe hundreds. Several years ago, I got a deep look at the backstage of boxing, following a plastics worker from Wichita, Kan., as he got a shot at a world champ. I saw everything. Somewhere in there, I was introduced to Strauss, who told jokes about himself: He never trained, he said, because then he'd last longer and suffer more punishment before being knocked out. His punch lines sounded like this: "Blgaflra Mooshl flim. Ha ha ha." I wasn't laughing. He was so punch drunk I couldn't understand. Look, I love boxing, the violence, the faces smashed, the daze fighters fall into before being knocked out. What a rush.
But now, every time I watch, Strauss creeps back in and I'm sickened.
I'm thinking about him again as Chicago and Notre Dame and the NFL say goodbye to Dave Duerson, the former Bears safety who shot himself in the heart. His personal life was collapsing. His finances were a mess.
His businesses were failing.
His brain was going fuzzy. So he texted people close to him, asking that his brain be analyzed by doctors, especially the left side. Then, saving his brain for science, he shot himself in the chest.
Will Duerson creep into our minds when we watch football from now on?
The first documented case of Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy among NFL players was Andre Waters, who committed suicide in 2006. Since then, Boston University's Center for the Study of Traumatic Encephalopathy has studied the brains of 14 former NFL players and found CTE in 13 of them.
CTE is an epidemic in football, but isn't really new. They just used to call it "having your bell rung." Or punchy. The new term is inconvenient because it makes you think. Before now, when players retired, we didn't notice what happened to them. Instead, we kept cheering the teams on the field. The jerseys were re-filled. But how many football players have suffered multiple concussions? How many have brains that are mush, or will be? Stories of suicides, depression, confusion keep piling up, and not just about retired players. Last spring, University of Pennsylvania defensive end Owen Thomas hung himself. He was 21. He had CTE. You want to watch and cheer the toughness, but somehow must separate yourself from the inconvenience, put aside Duerson, who was 50, and the others.
Something happens to people's minds when they watch football. The violence gets fans worked up and excited. Duerson helped the 1985 Bears to the Super Bowl title, and that team still causes chills in Chicago, not because it was flashy but because it cracked skulls. That sounds uncomfortable now. The thing people cheer for in football is exactly what leads to the thing they have to forget.
"It's a wake-up call for a lot of people, when you think of concussions," Emery Moorhead, a teammate of Duerson's on the 1985 Bears team that won the Super Bowl, told reporters at Duerson's service Saturday on Chicago's South Side. "Dave played a long time -- played in college, played in high school -- and this could happen at any point in time.
"NFL safety, they really need to address this, as well as hockey and probably boxing, which has no regulations on these types of things. CTE is very different, and we were not aware of it."
Oh, we were aware. But the problem always involved other people. It was an issue for "them" not for "us." Soon it will get to high schools players. Just wait. It is getting closer and closer to "us." If current NFL players were honest, they'd admit wondering what's about to happen to them. Will it change what football means to fans, or will they just fold it up neatly into another compartment in their minds and enjoy the violence?
We already admit the inconvenient truth in boxing, but have justified it because that sport can help troubled kids out of tough spots.
Football is a suburban game, too, where kids have choices, but dads dream about high school stardom. They drive sons to practices in minivans, tell them to tough it out, crack heads. Those are the values taught in football.
What is a safe number of times for your kid's brain to be smashed into the side of his skull?
I love football. I love the blood and guts. The big hits out of nowhere. And I'll still watch. But I don't know if I'll see a game again without thinking of Duerson. I can't compartmentalize that well.
Meanwhile, I was in Australia recently, getting hooked on rugby on TV. Now, I read that concussions are rugby's hidden epidemic. In hockey, superstar Sidney Crosby might be out for the season with a concussion.
But it is in the DNA of these sports that even after you're knocked loopy, you get back up and fight more. It builds character. The psyche of football isn't to worry about head injuries, but to play through them. In fact, people who worry are labeled as sissies.
The NFL can ban shots to the head, but it can't legislate against the values.
Duerson had an economics degree from Notre Dame and a certificate from the Harvard Business School's Executive Education Program. By 2005, according to the Chicago Tribune, he had blurred vision, headaches, memory loss, problems spelling common words. He couldn't remember where places were, and started writing everything down because he didn't trust his memory.
His test results won't be back for months. No matter what they say, he'll be the inconvenience.
I wondered what happened to Strauss and thought about trying to find him. Fifteen minutes into the search, I gave up. I'd rather not think about him.
