January is just another month for Bills fans to dream about the NFL draft.
The research usually starts at the end of November when the Bills are predictably out of the playoff race and ticket sales are tapering off. Winters are cold in Buffalo, so fans turn to the warmth of draft fantasies instead of actually watching their hometown team.
Unfortunately for the Buffalo faithful, the return on high draft picks since 2000 has been as dismal as the product on the field. As obvious as it is that these two things go hand in hand, it is even more obvious that the Bills have been snoozing at the wheel during the draft process since their last playoff appearance in 1999.
The Bills war room has prided itself on bold selections and high-ceiling players that have flamed out sooner rather than later.
However, things are said to be different this offseason. Russ Brandon is now calling the shots and Buffalo has brought in a young college coach, Doug Marrone, to be the latest head man of the Bills.
Fans will have a short leash with Marrone, which means that this first draft might be the most important thing he has ever done in his professional football career.
Failure in the draft cannot continue to be an option for Buffalo.

Nintendo should be higher, and Sony should actually be lower. Microsoft is also high up there. I'm guessing these numbers will be more accurate next month. They do seem close to accurate now. I just question the current amounts.
If you click refresh he seems to have it on a counter(not always accurate). I know for a fact Nintendo is producing 3x more units than Sony, and every Wii currently placed out in stores sells within minutes. I don't think he's basing it off units produced.

I agree sagema people who really want PS3 are refraining from buying it and instead buying the cheaper Xbox360 (not even giving the Wii a chance) because they want the PS3 price to go down and more games to come that is when PS3 sales are gonna soar
Yes, I've followed this figures closely and we can just ignore PS3 for now as they are still hit by supply problem.
But i'm really questioning the figure of Xbox 360 as they are powering ahead by selling 7.3m units more than Wii now from 6.8m units at one point last month. i want a Wii....

Sunday Times bestselling author Jenny Colgan returns with an hilarious, heartwarming, happy-ever-after as Nina follows her heart – and her dreams – to a new life in the countryside.
Given a back-room computer job when the beloved Birmingham library she works in turns into a downsized retail complex, Nina misses her old role terribly – dealing with people, greeting her regulars, making sure everyone gets the right books for their needs.
Then a new business nobody else wants catches her eye: owning a tiny little bookshop bus up in the Scottish highlands. No computers. Shortages. Out all hours in the freezing cold; driving with a tiny stock of books… not to mention how the little community is going to take to her, particularly when she stalls the bus on a level crossing…

The streets of London are paved with gold . . . allegedly.
They may be twin sisters, but Lizzie and Penny Berry are complete opposites – Penny is blonde, thin and outrageous; Lizzie quiet, thoughtful and definitely not thin. The one trait they do share is a desire to DO something with their lives and, as far as they are concerned, the place to get noticed is London.
Out of the blue they discover they have a grandmother living in Chelsea – and when she has to go into hospital, they find themselves flat-sitting on the King's Road. But, as they discover, it's not as easy to become It Girls as they'd imagined, and West End boys aren't at all like Hugh Grant . . .

You could think of it as two movies for the price of one: "Resident Evil" begins with a chilling first hour before dwindling into a standard horror flick with requisite scary music and jump-outs.
The story starts in an underground corporate facility where viral research takes place and an artificial intelligence, the Red Queen, rules.
When some infectious material escapes, the Red Queen kills all the people who work for the company and cuts off all access. A "sanitation" team goes in to try to reboot the Red Queen, but she has other ideas.
The first half of "Resident Evil" plays on modern fears of technology. The second half of the movie plays on medieval fears and could have been scary if the whole zombie thing hadn't been done to death.
No matter the terror, however: Star Milla Jovovich gets to run around in skimpy clothing. (R; strong sci-fi-horror, violence, language and brief sexuality/nudity.) Grade: C

Might be a Type 68 as seen here (http://world.guns.ru/userfiles/images/handguns/korea/1287743878.jpg).
I didn't know off the top of my head. I watched the video and then poked around on the interwebs. So could be wrong.
April 7, 2013, 01:59 PM
The video I saw looked like they were shooting some sort of Tokarev variant.
April 7, 2013, 02:43 PM
Was it some new piece he was trying out? I couldn't find a translation of their conversation.

Never buy a North Korean gun.
They only work if China says it's OK.

Was it some new piece he was trying out? I couldn't find a translation of their conversation.
I listened to that part about 50 times and I'm pretty sure of two things:
1. My Korean is absolutely terrible and
2. I don't think they mentioned the model pistol
April 7, 2013, 04:07 PM
A few weeks ago, I saw a bunch of North Koreans with handguns on a news website.
Many of them had CZ75 type handguns, including one that appeared to be nickel plated and which had white grips made from ivory or some synthetic.
The odds are that these are either real CZ75s, or the Norinco copy. I'm unaware of a North Korean copy. The North Koreans did make the following pistols in the past:
.32acp FN Browning M1900 clone. Truly a bizarre firearm, out of date a hundred years ago. The only explanation I can think of is that there were literally DOZENS of Chinese clones of the Browning 1900, all made in small, nonstandardized job lots for various warlords. There's pretty good coverage of them in A.B. Zhuk's "The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Handguns Pistols and Revolvers of the World, 1870 to the Present". It's possible that the North Koreans ended up with a bunch and copied them.
Suppressed version of the above Model 1900 clone. A bizarre choice, but at least having some rationale.
The "Ponghwa" version of the TT-33. Sort of a "Commander" version of the TT-33.
If I'm not mistaken, they also made a standard TT-33 clone.
April 8, 2013, 03:29 AM
Why are we imagining them using some old TT design?
Anyone ever think they have copied versions of sig. Or beretta?

I noticed some were shooting Chinese CZ clones called the NZ 75.
April 8, 2013, 09:03 PM
Here's some Chinese PMC's
April 8, 2013, 10:50 PM
BaekDuSon (IIRC) is a domestic copy of the CZ-75. Probably what you saw. In previous years they have used both Makarov and Tokarev type pistols.
April 8, 2013, 11:09 PM
I get nrevous just watching those NK videos. The one I watched had two officers being interviewed and both of them had their finger on the trigger. I was nervous just watching.
April 9, 2013, 06:54 PM
According to this:
Type 64 Pistol. North Korean variant of the Belgium FN M1900 pistol
Type 68 Pistol. North Korean variant of the Soviet TT-33 pistol
Makarov PM Pistol
BaekDuSan, North Korean copy of the Czech CZ-75 pistol

•Web of the Zodiac•
Anyone looking for life rafts, safety equipment and other boating needs on a Dorchester County manufacturer's online pages should face an easier time.
The new Zodiac brand website at www.zodiacmarineusa.com is up and running, according to Summerville-based Z Marine North America LLC.
The company, formerly known as Zodiac Recreational of North America LLC, rolled out a new Internet design "showcasing a simplified user experience."
According to the boat maker, "the new site makes it easier to navigate through the available product categories, as well as provide additional information on the product to the site visitor."
The "home" page calls up an index of models for each category of vessel or equipment. From there, users can "jump" to a model-specific page.
There's a new "Help to Choose" page in which customers can fill out information to narrow choices and assist in finding the model they're coveting.
Also added is a "dealer locator" tab, accessories tab to identify available options on models and a place for customers to post a free small ad to sell their used boats.
Z Marine North America is considered one of the most recognized manufacturers of recreational inflatable boats, life rafts and safety equipment. It's a subsidiary of global private investment firm OpenGate Capital.

•Canadian bakin'•
After a big week at Lime Rock in Connecticut, the Mini of Charleston racing team struggled early but surged late a few hundred miles north in Canada last Saturday.
The team raced on the Streets of Toronto as part of the Izod Indy Car race weekend.
Mini of Charleston driver Robbie Davis was in Canada "for his first ever race outside the U.S. and first ever street course race," his father and Hendrick Imports executive general manager Brad Davis said.
With public streets converted to a road racing course, "there was plenty of fencing and tons of concrete barriers," he said.
The 1.474 mile Toronto course included "narrow bumpy streets" in the downtown area leaving little room for error, Brad Davis said.
In the first Pirelli World Challenge race of the weekend, Robbie Davis placed third in the qualifying heats with his 2012 Mini Cooper. He dropped to fifth, and Joel Lipperini of Pittston, Pa., won the race in a Honda Fit.
Although Davis rallied, he "got held up in the corners" and father and son team Ernie Francis Jr. and Ernie Francis took second and third.
In the second race, Ernie Francis Jr. shot to the lead in his Mazda 2 "and motored away from the competition," Brad Davis said.
Robbie Davis found himself in a tight race for spots two through six. After Francis brushed the wall with two laps remaining, Davis bolted to second place. According to his father, Davis' move "won him the Cadillac Move of the Race award and clinched a podium position as the 2nd place finisher. He also won the Sunoco Hard Charger award.
Points leader after Lime Rock, Davis fell behind the junior Francis who finished first and second in Toronto. The next races are in early August at Mid-Ohio Race Course.

13 American Murder Houses
Lore has it the spirits of violent crime victims remain after their corporeal existence has ended. These murder houses literally have personalities all their own
This Georgian mansion—known as Manhattan's oldest surviving house—was built in 1765 by a British Colonel and served as George Washington's headquarters during the Revolution. Stephen Jumel, a French emigrant, moved in with his wife Eliza in 1810. Notoriously obsessed with wealth, Eliza was made rich after Jumel's mysterious death at the mansion in 1832. Her quick marriage to former Vice President and infamous duelist Aaron Burr fueled speculation that she was responsible for Stephen Jumel's death—a theory that has only been confirmed by psychics. The Morris-Jumel Mansion is now a museum, where visitors have reported paranormal encounters with Mrs. Jumel herself. In one incident, the woman's spirit materialized to tell a group of school children to "Shut up!"
Built in 1704, this English-style coaching inn housed remarkable guests, including George Washington and General "Mad Anthony" Wayne, for whom the place was named. Edgar Allan Poe stayed for five years, revising his classic The Raven. Adding to its canon of lore are hundreds of reports of paranormal encounters, mostly with the spirits of Hessian soldiers. In 1848, the inn served as a polling site and a worker reported bumping into a green-coated soldier in the cellar. Hessian soldiers wore green jackets and, in a well-known Revolutionary War murder, patriots are said to have killed and buried one in the inn's cellar. Another popular spirit is that of a beheaded soldier whose head appeared on a shelf in the 1990s, vanishing only after sending the inn's maitre d' into a frenzy. The 1990s proved a particularly bad decade for the inn; co-owner James Webb was found dead in a third-floor office in 1996. Guy Sileo, friend and business partner to the victim, is currently serving a life sentence for the murder.
Delphine LaLaurie was the well-known wife of a doctor, and a socialite who threw glamorous parties in this massive Creole-style home. But, she's gone down in history for her violent sadism, and the abuse and murders of hundreds of the estate's servants. In 1834, a cook set the kitchen ablaze with hopes that the visiting fire brigade would expose the LaLauries. It was then that the mangled and tortured bodies of servants—some apparently used in medical experiments—were discovered in a locked attic room. The LaLauries fled before they could be tried and punished for their crimes. More recently, human remains dating back to the 19th century have been found in the home's floorboards. The property is now believed to be haunted and is privately owned by actor Nicolas Cage, who bought it for more than $3 million.
J.B. Moore, his family, and two guests, were murdered in this home by an intruder on June 12, 1912. The case was never solved, but suspects at the time included a traveling preacher and then-U.S. Senator Frank F. Jones. Jones was a business partner of Moore's, and the two had bitterly parted ways in the weeks before the murder. The landmark Villisca Axe Murder House now operates as a museum—a fate not uncommon to murder houses.
Antiques dealer Jim Williams was a local hero for his efforts in restoring Savannah's historic homes. He chose The Mercer House—built for singer Johnny Mercer's great-grandfather during the Civil War—in which to work and live. In 1981, Williams' young assistant Danny Hansford, called "Savannah's most popular escort" by one source, was shot in the study of the house. Williams was tried for the murder a record four times, and threw a grand fete when he was acquitted in 1989. Of course, there haven't been any parties of that magnitude since, as Jim Williams' died suddenly on the property a few months later. But, according to the book Georgia Ghosts by Nancy Roberts, a couple of tourists witnessed a phantom revival of the party in 1994, on the five-year anniversary of Williams' acquittal celebration. The tourists claimed that the house was bright and alive with the clinking and clanking of a festive gathering, although no one was at home. The Mercer Williams House Museum is open to the public and run by Williams' sister, Dr. Dorothy Kingery, who has never witnessed paranormal activity there.
Andrew Borden, an affluent bank director, was all but beheaded with a hatchet as he napped on August 4, 1892. His second wife, Abby—who infamous stepdaughter Lizzie Borden referred to as "Mrs. Borden"—met a similar fate in an upstairs bedroom. Everyone but the judge was convinced that Lizzie was responsible for the killings, as she was tried and found not guilty the following year. The Borden house, a Greek Revival, has since been restored and now operates as The Lizzie Borden Bed & Breakfast. Unlike some murder houses, this museum and B&B flaunts its grisly past with this tagline: "Apart from that bloody murder all those years ago, our hospitality is impeccable!"
This 19th-century row house was the childhood home of Pulitzer Prize-winning poet Conrad Aiken. In 1901, Aiken listened from his room as his parents argued, then heard his father count to three before shooting his wife and himself. The young Aiken emerged from his room to find the lifeless bodies of his parents, a scene that would influence his future writings. Years after the murder-suicide, Aiken moved back to Savannah and purchased the house next door to this one. The current owners agreed to a paranormal investigation, documented by Court TV's Crime Library where an infrared video revealed over fifty orbs, and digital voice recording captured a man's voice whispering, "Do you want to know what I know?"
Three members of the Pennsylvania Dutch community found themselves in a simultaneous rut of bad luck. They believed themselves to have been hexed by one Nelson Rehmeyer. Hex-clearing called for the burning of the alleged witch's spell book. What started as a visit to retrieve the book turned into one of the country's most sensational murders. On November 27, 1928, the three men strangled and beat Rehmeyer to death when he refused to comply with their demands. In an effort to cover their crime, they tried to burn the house down. But, the fire died quickly, leaving plenty of evidence pointing to the killers. It is said that the spirit of Nelson Rehmeyer haunts Rehmeyer's Hollow, also called The Hex House, which opened as an historical exhibit in 2007.
In the 18th century, Savannah was a thriving port town crawling with the likes of Blackbeard and other bloodthirsty pirates. Around 1753, the need arose for a tavern and inn near the harbor. This two-story property became The Pirate's House, where there are said to have been countless brawls ending in thousands of kidnappings and deaths. Currently operating as The Pirates' House Restaurant, its walls are adorned with framed pages from an early edition of Treasure Island. Many of the novel's scenes are said to have taken place here, and protagonist Captain Flint is rumored to have died at the house. Old ghost stories and new accounts of paranormal encounters make the Savannah eatery a popular spot for spook seekers.
This Queen Anne was built by wealthy brick manufacturer Balthazar Kreischer in the 1800's as part of a family estate, along with another mansion for his son, Charles. Shortly after a filial blowout between father and son, Charles' mansion mysteriously burned down, with the younger Kreischer and his wife perishing in the flames. Locals are convinced that the spirits of the couple continue to dwell at this mansion.
More recently, Gino Galestro of the Bonanno crime family ordered an affiliate, Robert McKelvey, killed in 2006. Former marine Joseph Young took the job for an $8,000 paycheck. At the time, Young served as the caretaker for the desolate mansion and decided to make it the backdrop for this modern-day murder for hire. Young, along with four accomplices, strangled and stabbed McKelvey, evenutally drowning him in an ornamental pond on the property and cremating his body in the house's incinerator. The incinerator has since been replaced and the property may become part of an assisted-living complex for senior citizens.
Builder John Moynahan built this Dutch Colonial for his growing family in the 1920s. According to the Long Island Village Voice, Moynahan built his house sideways because he didn't like mowing the lawn. The home became infamous with the coupling of the 1974 DeFeo murders, and the alleged paranormal terror endured by subsequent owners George and Kathy Lutze. The Lutzes bought the six-bedroom house at a bargain rate about a year after Ronald DeFeo Jr. used a shotgun to kill his family at the urging of dark shadows and voices in the house. After the Lutzes deserted the place in 1976, they reported everything from DeFeo's dark shadows and voices, to black slime oozing through keyholes and swarms of flies. One book and two major motion pictures later, the address and trademark attic windows have been changed. The Amityville Horror House is now privately owned and in residential use by owners who don't care for thrill-seeking visitors.
Famed architect Frank Lloyd Wright built this as his home after leaving his first wife for a woman named Martha Borthwick in 1911. On August 15, 1914, while Wright was away on business, estate worker Julian Carlton bolted the dining room doors and started a fire. Borthwick, her children from a previous marriage, and a few others were inside. The arsonist then waited outside with an ax for anyone trying to escape. After the tragedy, Wright rebuilt the wing only for it to be destroyed again by an electrical fire in 1925. Taliesin was repaired a final time to serve as Wright's studio where the famous Fallingwater in Pennsylvania, and Guggenheim Museum in New York were designed. According to Haunted Wisconsin, the lost and wandering spirit of Borthwick has been spotted at Tanyderi, a nearby cottage on the property where firefighters took victims of the fire after the tragedy.
This Greek Revival is the site of one of the most gruesome mass slayings in New Orleans history. In the late 1830s, wealthy plantation owner Jean Baptiste LaPrete bought the pink French Quarter residence as a vacation home. Soon after, he added the trademark wrought-iron lace rails to the balconies and set out in search of a renter to occupy the property when he wasn't using it himself. A rich young man from Turkey answered LaPrete's call and moved in with a tremendous entourage, complete with a harem and eunuchs. The house became renowned for its mysterious parties, which neighbors experienced in the music and incense escaping through cracks in the door. One morning, a passerby noticed something less pleasant escaping from under the door. It was blood. Authorities entered the house to find everyone within dismembered and mutilated. The renter, who came to be known as "The Sultan," was buried alive in the courtyard. While pirates have been blamed for the murders, it is theorized the Turk was the brother of an actual sultan, who ordered his male relatives executed in an effort to eliminate competition for the sultanate.

Fieldwork will be a vital part of your studies. You may find yourself working with other students and faculty members in Tasmania or the Pacific Northwest, and you'll regularly get out into the field in Central New York. Professors will encourage you to collaborate with them on projects in and out of the classroom.
With classes, labs, theatre productions and other responsibilities, some days start at 9 a.m. and end 14 hours later for Kevin Herrera '16. If Herrera isn't the only geo-sciences/theatre double major you've ever heard of, he's likely the most determined. He still has the first-year planner in which he meticulously listed the requirements for the wildly divergent majors. He's en route to both. Herrera admits the combination isn't easy to manage, but says he's in the right place to make it happen. If you want a school "in which you can do almost anything you can imagine, there really is no better place," he says about Hamilton College.More >>

The goal of most students in the CSIBridge program is to qualify for admission to the M.S. degree program. This page advises how to apply for admission to the degree program upon success in CSIBridge.
D4CS students who want accounts on the D4CS Lab network and independent access to the D4CS Labs must agree to the D4CS Lab Use Policy.
Guidelines can be found here: D4CS Lab Use Policy (provisional)
D4CS was pleased to host the inaugural BSidesNYC Information/Security conference, held at John Jay on January 16, 2016. Over 350 people attended to include a bunch of D4CS students. We hope to host the conference again next year. website: BSidesNYC
Professor Ping Ji has been elected by the D4CS faculty to be the Interim D4CS program director for Spring 2016. This change is due to Professor Lovely going on sabbatical for Spring 2016 who, however, will remain in close consulation with Professor Ji to assure a smooth transition. In May 2016, the faculty will elect a director to serve the normal three year term.
This is a potential job opportunity for graduating students. The Department of Homeland Security plans to fast track the hiring of up to 1,000 new cybersecurity personnel by June, according to a notice set to be published tomorrow (11/11) in the Federal Register. Positions OKd by the Office of Personnel Management for special Schedule A hiring authority include personnel with job duties including: Cyber risk and analysis; Cyberincident response, including analyzing malware and other vulnerabilities; Detecting and assessing cyber vulnerabilities; and Intelligence analysis, among other areas. The streamlined hiring covers positions at the GS 09-15 levels. Legislation approved by Congress last year allows DHS to speed the hiring of cyber experts, to set rates of basic pay, and to provide additional compensation, benefits, incentives, and allowances -- all perks previously extended to the Pentagon to help boost the size of its information security workforce. In March, the Defense Department was granted fast-track hiring authority of up to 3,000 personnel to build up military cyber teams. Check out the source article for this tip here.
Changes in the titles and course descriptions for FCM 710 and FCM 791 have been approved by the D4CS faculty and CUNY. The new versions below do not yet appear in the catalog but are currently official:
The NSA Surveillance Project of John Jay's Cybercrime Studies Center has moved to a new, much more easily navigable website: www.cyberprivacymatters.org. Professor Schwartz and D4CS alum Aidan Booth manage the website which aims to provide an alternative to the exclusive concern with Americans privacy interests that dominates discussions in the United States and to the failure to recognize that NSA surveillance is conducted in close cooperation with the UKs Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) and the intelligence agencies of the other Five Eyes Partners (Canada, New Zealand, Australia). Please check out the site and mention it to others who might be interested.
Graduate students can apply for travel funds to attend conferences. A few D4CS students have already been granted funds from this Student Government program. The deadline to apply for Spring 2015 is November 17 at 5PM. Check it out here: Student travel support

A lot has been made about the upcoming North American release of Catherine. The game is already a hit in Japan and looks to at least score a cult following here in the states, if it doesn't have one already. The thing about this game is, and I'm not alone here, I have no idea what the hell it's about.
I first took interest in Catherine when it was announced that Atlus would be releasing the game with an optional toned down alternate cover. This, of course, piqued my interest. What could possibly be so risqué that the publisher would decide to release an alternate cover so as not to alienate distributors? The answer was disappointing – the alternate image merely being a close up on what I assumed was the titular character – but viewing the image made me curious about that game in general.
It can be assumed the copy on the right will be available at Walmart
Since the game has already been released in Japan, I had assumed that a lot of information would be available. I was surprised to find that this isn't the case. While I've been able to find a plethora of preview articles and some import reviews, there is a surprising dearth of information available on the title.
Wikipedia, and if it's on Wikipedia it has to be true, describes the game as "an erotic horror puzzle-platformer adventure video game." Thanks for clearing that up for me; by the way, you missed first person shooter from your generic list of video game genres. I was getting frustrated at the lack of hard facts on this game. Descriptions were lackadaisical at best and it took visiting several sites and reading dozens of articles to get even a decent handle on the storyline – a tale apparently dripping of odd Japanese perversion and eastern philosophy.
I know there are puzzle elements and dream sequences. It seems our hero has nightmares in which he has to ascend giant staircases in his boxer shorts; moving blocks and solving puzzles along the way to the top. It also seems that he can die in these dreams, so there is a real threat here. What that threat is, I don't know.
There really is no rest for the wicked
As frustrating as it has been to get real information on this game, I must admit that I have started getting excited about its upcoming release. The lack of real descriptive information began to impart an interesting notion on this game, that being that there just isn't any game like it out there. There is certainly a hint of the Persona series wafting from the game, and certain elements are borrowed or influenced by other games, but the title is, if nothing else original to a point that it becomes difficult to describe. I find that I like this.
I have since preordered a copy of the game and look forward to playing through the sheep filled nightmare sequences on my PS3. I'm also looking forward to really finding out who the heck this Catherine chick is.
Or is it Katherine? Doesn't matter.
You know the drill, sound off below.
Happy Gaming.

Exercise > Too much cardio?
Hello all you FABULOUS ladies!! I am considering a Figure Competition next year, for the time being, I am working on burning fat and building muscle. I am doing cardio twice a day, in the morning (empty stomach) and after work, 35min each session. Nothing extreme, but a good enough pace to break a good sweat. On weight training days, only one cardio session. Is this too much cardio to build muscle on? TIA everyone! Cathy

Welcome - From the Editor > Newbie!
Hey, Everyone! I am excited to be a part of this forum and look forward to learning and making change happen. A little about me: I am 42 years old, a mom of 3 (ages 24, 16, 14), and work night shift as a registered nurse. I've wanted to do a competition for years but always found a reason to get in my own way. This year I hired a coach and started training. However, my boyfriend proposed and next thing you know I am caught up in the whirlwind of wedding planning! The wedding is in just over a week! I became extremely stressed and my coach and I decided to slow down the training until after the wedding. Well, this was my excuse to stop counting macros and get out of going to the gym. Needless to say, I've taken backward steps. Right now, I want to use the next 10 days to shed a little bit of fat I've added and get my mindset ready for what's to come.

When the announcer stated her age the rest of us 40-something's on stage almost fell over. We had NO idea she was 62. She looked AMAZING!!!! Proof it CAN be done with the decision to eat clean and exercise moderately. It sure sounds to me like you're on the right track but of course it's difficult to say with such limited information.

Competition Tips > How old is too old?
Greetings! I might be THE Senior in this group at 61! I am looking into doing a competition next year. I've got a great base from which I'm starting, having lost 42lbs, just ran my 5th Marathon. So now, I need some guidance/mentoring on all of this. I do cardio 6x@week (30min usually) and do a total body w/wgts 3x@week. Eating more protein than I usually do. My body is toned but I still see the pudginess in the middle. Am I on the right path with all of this? How long does it take before seeing more definition? Thanks again everyone!

Lifestyle of Fitness > Competition Prep Challenges
Heather those are wonderful questions. Thank you for sharing your experience as my hunch is that you're not alone. Considering you are just a few weeks into your prep it may just be that your body is adjusting to your new diet and training. It's possible your metabolism is kicking up and running pretty hard (which is a GREAT thing). That certainly can affect sleep though. I think what I would do if I were you is give it a few more weeks to see if your body adjusts. I hope that helps! Please do be sure to check back and let us know how it's going. With love, Kristin

NSCLC is "Major Battlefield" as Merck,...
U.K. nanodrugs firm Midatech raised £6.3 million in a private investment round. The firm says it aims to use the funds to carry out clinical development of chemotherapeutic gold nanoparticles for the treatment of ovarian, lung, and breast cancers, and to support development of therapeutic vaccines by SynTara, a joint venture with Immunotope.
Midatech is exploiting its gold-nanoparticle drug delivery technology both in house and through collaborations with industry. The SynTara joint venture with Immunotope, established in July 2010, is focused on developing nanoparticle-based immunotherapeutic cancer vaccines for the delivery of peptide antigens. Midatech also has a collaboration with MonoSol Rx to develop products that combine its own nanoparticle technology with MonoSol's PharmFilm® drug delivery technology. The MonoSol partnership is focused primarily on the development of gold nanoparticle-based insulin and GLP-1 products for the treatment of diabetes, formulated using the PharmaFilm drug delivery platform.
In November 2011 the firms were given given Swiss regulatory authority go-ahead to start a first-in-man study evaluating MidaForm™ insulin. The insulin product comprises ultra-small gold nanoparticles modified to bind and stabilize insulin and GLP-1, and formulated using MonoSol's PharmaFilm technology, to enable transbuccal delivery. At the time, the firm said the study would be the first ever to evaluate solid core nanoparticles of this size and nature in humans. A GLP-1 diabetes candidate being developed using both the Midatech and MonoSol platforms is currently in preclinical development.

My Laptop, model L355d-s7901 is hooked up to a 23" Samsung lcd analog monitor as an extension monitor. The resolution on the monitor is set for 900x1440. The maximum my video card can produce. After I have both on for any time between 1 hour or 8 hours the monitor and screen on the laptop will blink off and on 3 or 4 times and then my computer will shut down. When I run diagnostics, it says that the ati driver stopped working and look for an update. When I look for an update the computer says that the driver is correct. Help? I've talked to Toshiba tech assistance before I first got thre monitor about making sure that the monitor size was OK. They said that the size didn't matter just make sure you don't set the resolution higher than 900x1440. Help. Both the laptop and monitor are new. I replaced the monitor once already thinking that was the problem. Help !!??

Within Edward de Bono's Six Thinking Hats process, Red Hat Thinking focuses on feelings, hunches, gut instinct, and intuition. Red Hat Thinking should last no longer than 30 seconds and is best described in one to two words.
Red Hat Thinking gives validity to feelings and intuition and doesn't require any explanation. Red Hat Thinking may be used more than once within a Six Thinking Hats sequence to gauge feelings, for example, after new White Hat Thinking is presented, and it is not uncommon for Red Hat feelings to change throughout Six Hat Thinking.
The Red Hat Thinking may be used to measure buy-in or commitment after a decision has been made. Red Hat Thinking is also a helpful tool used to sort or prioritize new ideas generated during Green Hat Thinking.
Red Hat Thinking is very valuable because it makes clear that intuition, feelings, and emotions are going to be expressed as such. There is no need to pretend that they are something else. If feelings are indeed present, it is helpful to know what these feelings are. We can then see what we are dealing with.
"My Red Hat feeling is that I resent the email that was sent out." (Notice that no reasons are given. It is difficult but important not to explain the reasons.)
Feelings and intuition cannot be checked out, so it is unwise to use the Red Hat alone for decision making. However, Intuition, hunches, feelings, and emotions have a high value as "ingredients" in the thinking that leads up to a decision.
"The facts do not support going ahead with the plan, but my Red Hat feeling is that we should explore it further."
Red Hat Thinking includes a wide variety of possible feelings. On the positive/negative scale, people may report everything from detesting an idea to being wildly enthusiastic. More subtle feelings are also included: feeling curious or mildly interested, being uncertain or ambivalent, finding a proposal boring, etc.
When taking the general temperature of a group (rather than feelings about a specific issue), various members may report feeling upset, fearful, excited, angry, determined, exasperated, optimistic, tired, or a host of other internal states. It can be helpful to know what state people are in before you even start the agenda. Remember not to ask for explanations.
"I'm excited that we're meeting today and can't wait to get started."
"My Red Hat is annoyance."

Zayds Goes To Germany
by Steve Lipman
Staff Writer
Photo Galleria:
Visitors to a new Jewish museum, which opens Thursday in the heart of Munich, will be able to learn on four exhibition floors about Jewish life and culture in Germany's Bavaria region. And at the entrance to the building they will learn a bit about a Jewish family from Manhattan's Upper West Side. Ten original cartoons from "Everything's Relative," a decade-old comic strip that appears in this newspaper and a handful of other Jewish papers in the U.S., will be posted as silk screens on the walls at the front door. The museum management wants the comics, which feature an intergenerational cast of characters, "to introduce visitors to the subject of Jews in Munich," says Jordan Gorfinkel, the New York artist who has drawn Batman, produced several music CDs and now declares himself "in the entertainment business." In the Munich-based strips — they will be presented in German and English at the museum, and will start running in The Jewish Week in two weeks — Zayds, the patriarch of Gorfinkel's fictional family that is loosely based on his own, will return to Germany with a younger member of the mishpocha. The comic will teach about contemporary Jewish life in Germany through their eyes. Gorfinkel, a native of Chicago, says he learned about today's German Jewry during his first visit there two years ago, as a guest of the museum. Staying with a friend, he shopped and ate and davened with German Jews, most of whom have come in recent years from the former Soviet Union. "I began to open my eyes to the reality of what Germany is today," he says — it is the country with Europe's fastest-growing Jewish community. "There is a renaissance of Jewish life in Germany." All this will show up in his comics, Gorfinkel says. "I spent a year trying to figure out what I'm saying. I found a way to deal with the facts in a way that was honest … not over-sentimental." After the opening of the museum, part of a complex that includes a recently opened synagogue and Jewish community center, Gorfinkel's new comics will become a traveling exhibit in this country and overseas. He will attend the museum's opening, accompanied by his wife, Amy, their 8-month-old son, Ori, and his father-in-law, Nathan Burzinski. Burzinki, who lives in Cleveland, is an Auschwitz survivor who was in a DP camp near Munich after World War II. This week will be Burzinski's first time back in Germany since 1945 — just like Zayds. Next week, Gorfinkel says, "fact and faction will merge."

WASHINGTON - There are the strangers who simply gawk. There are those who approach, asking unsolicited questions.
"Is he your baby?"
"Is his father Korean?"
"Are they a real brother and sister?"
The non-Korean mothers - setting out with their Korean children for the supermarket, the haircutters, the karate school - learn to be prepared.
"At the grocery store the other day, a woman was following me," said Brenda McNeal, 31, a rural Virginia mom whose son, Evan, is 2. "She looked at me and said, 'Why didn't you adopt your own kind?' "
Most of the time, the disapproving strangers are Korean.
Venturing out to a Korean market or church, adoptive parents trying to teach their children about Korean culture and traditions have encountered prejudice from the very people with whom they hope to make a connection.
"People ask a lot of questions, and a lot of times it can be intrusive," said Jenny Quinn, 33, the mother of two Korean-born boys. "I've learned in the last two years I don't owe everyone an explanation."
Interracial adoptions can always present issues for children and their parents, but with Korean adoptions, they are more stark because of the sheer numbers of such children in the United States - thousands are adopted each year - and an aversion to adoption rooted deeply in Korean culture.
"Korean-Americans have some kind of a stigma attached to these adopted children, namely that some of these children were adopted because they were abandoned when they were born out of wedlock," said Theodore U.C. Kim, president of Adoption Service Information Agency Inc. (ASIA) in Washington.
Over the centuries, adoptions inside Korea have been almost exclusively within families and often became family secrets, according to the Rev. Chunchung You, pastor of Ban Suk Presbyterian Church of America in Hanover, Md.
Families with an adopted child sometimes moved to another town to give the child a fresh start, You said.
The taboo, which only now has begun to fade, lingers in the memories of many Koreans. "The old idea is still prevalent," You said.
And there is an added element to the stigma, according to Kim.
"As Koreans, we just feel ashamed that somebody else has to come and take care of our children," he said.
Knowing the reason makes the situation no easier to deal with, say non-Korean parents, and it presents a large stumbling block to efforts - increasingly popular today - to connect their children to the heritage of their birth country.
Spurred by some of their experiences, a support group for Northern Virginia parents of adopted Korean children began meeting last year, and members found they had to focus on more than just bringing up baby. Six couples came to the first meeting last summer, but about 15 attend now.
Parents share books on multicultural adoptions, swap Korean recipes and tell how they have addressed negative attitudes toward trans-racial adoption by trying to turn potentially negative encounters into positive ones.
"We like the idea of bringing other cultures in," said Quinn, the support group's founder, who lives in Ashburn Village with her husband, Joe, 33, an America Online executive. "We know there are challenges, and we're up for it."
Most of their children were placed by Kim's group, ASIA. It is one of a few agencies in metropolitan Washington authorized by the South Korean government to handle adoptions.
Korean adoption has been popular in the United States since the end of the Korean War, and since 1955, nearly 100,000 Korean children have been adopted by American families.
Few Koreans initially objected to the number of babies being adopted abroad, said Kim, a 20-year veteran in the field of international adoptions. Then came the 1988 Olympics in Seoul, when NBC newscaster Bryant Gumbel mentioned on television the large numbers of Korean adoptions and referred to "the shame of adoption" in the country.
The subsequent public outcry led Korea - then the leader among nations in the number of children adopted out of country - to impose a quota. The number is not made public, Kim said, adding that about 2,000 babies annually are adopted by Americans.
In the Washington area, pastors of Korean churches have been leaders in the effort to reach out to adoptees and encourage their parents to connect their children to their birth country. Adoptive parents sometimes receive a cool reception when they attend a service in a Korean church without an invitation or a chaperon, some pastors concede.
You, 47, who has worked in the United States for a decade, said that he, too, had to overcome his deeply rooted aversion toward adoptees when his son, then a high school student, became friends with four Korean boys who had been adopted by non-Koreans.
"In Korean proverbs, the love to raise a child is greater than the love to give birth," You said. " .. I would like to emphasize that."
Making a connection with Korean families can require persistence - but members of the support group said that their attempts eventually prove fruitful.
"It is difficult to find that entree," said Kim Light, 41, a Vienna, Va., mother who recently arranged with a Korean woman to help Light and her son, Andrew, 2, learn about Korean traditions.
In exchange, Light helps the woman with English lessons.
"Just by teaching her English, I am interacting with her and learning more about Korean culture," Light said. "That's basically why I got into it. To make a connection."
Light and the other parents frequently are joined at their support group gatherings by Diana Hopkins, 49, a post-adoption counselor at ASIA and mother of three adopted Korean children.
At a recent meeting, Hopkins passed around books about trans-racial adoptions and interspersed her book reviews with anecdotes about raising Emilee Song-Kyung, 16, Natalie Park, 14, and Clinton, 10.
Emilee, a sophomore at a Columbia, Md., high school, has grappled with issues of identity as the child of two cultures.
She won't soon forget the clique of Korean-Americans at her high school that excludes anyone who can't speak Korean. "It's not like I don't want to be friends with them, but they don't want to be friends with me," Emilee said.
Mary Coyle, 33, an Ashburn mother of two adopted Korean children, said she hopes the next generation of adoptees won't have to face such pain.
Stopping by a Blockbuster Video recently, she saw a clerk noticing her and her daughter, Marissa, 2. The woman approached, asking the usual question about whether the girl was Korean - but then the conversation went in a positive direction.
"We're going over Sunday, and she's going to make us Korean food, and we're going to talk about learning Korean customs, maybe language, too," Coyle said. "We'll just kind of go from there."

Why? It's audibly inferior and the form factor isn't very good either.
Edited by Tus-Chan - 8/21/13 at 9:48am
I cant really hear a big difference from the e17 compare to my pc, maybe a tiny bit in separation but I think it is placebo effect, I gonna return it tomorrow. Guess it is because I have a pretty good onboard soundcard already? lol
Edited by BestEarCN - 8/22/13 at 6:28pm
Sounds like it. Now you know if you want to improve the SQ, you have to spend a lot more money. LOL
That should be achieved in a long long future
Could have been how you had it set up... There are a lot of variables.
My E17 makes my K240 Studios sound amazing. Night and day compared to the headphone out on my mixer.
Edited by hatrix - 8/23/13 at 3:23am
I plug it in with the usb, is that how you did it?
maybe it is because k240 has a higher impedance, so an amp makes it sound better?
Edited by BestEarCN - 8/23/13 at 10:27am
Also, if your media player supports WASAPI, try that.
Finally, you could try an optical connection if your laptop supports that. I just got a Maverick Audio TubeMagic D1. For whatever reason, when I tried it with USB, it passed the audio through my Xonar D1 audio card processing. Sounded like crap (obviously, those software drivers were not meant for the TubeMagic DAC). Switched to optical, and oh so much better. Not saying that this will happen for you, but sometimes these things are worth a try.
Quite possibly, but my K240 Studios are only 55 ohms. I've ran both USB and S/PDIF and both sounded great to me.
Definitely make sure that your windows volume is at 100%. If you have a pair of higher impedance headphones I'm sure you would notice a significant difference. As a standalone DAC, it should still offer improvement over any onboard audio.
Whether your ears are good enough to pick up on the differences is another thing.
I tried again and it is still just a little bit improvement on separation and transparency, it is minorly noticeable by a side by side comparison, dont think it is worth $100 for me, everyone have different base device though, the improvement should be different for everyone.
If I make my windows volume 100%, wouldnt it blow my ears up? lol
never mind, it is already 100%

Public Education:
Issues Involving Single-Gender Schools and Programs

Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
(202) 512-4800
Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the major educational and legal issues involved with public single-gender education.
GAO found that: (1) single-gender educational programs are thought to reduce dropout rates and improve overall academic performance among urban males and academic achievement in mathematics and science among females; (2) single-gender settings are believed to reduce the distraction boys and girls create for each other, particularly during the middle school years; (3) some studies of minority students in private single-gender schools have suggested that both boys and girls improve academically in such settings; (4) the effectiveness of single-gender programs may be due more to students' and parents' motivation and commitment and small student populations; (5) some experts fear that single-gender educational programs will lead to unequal resource allocations and reinforcement of stereotypes; (6) some believe that training teachers in diversity and equity, creating smaller classes, and providing more individual attention would be just as effective in coeducational settings; (7) some public schools have terminated or modified their single-gender programs because of federal and state limitations on single-gender educational programs; and (8) the Department of Education has received numerous complaints regarding single-gender educational settings.

Eric Cox on The Garfield Galleria
It's about time Phoenix sees some serious mural love. In the interest of giving credit to their artists and because we're losing track of the times we've said, "Woah, when did that go up?", we bring you Mural City, a series on the murals springing up around town -- their artists, their hosts and their inspirations.
photo by Claire Lawton, mural by Eric Cox
Last week, as artists prepped their studios and inside of the Garfield Galleria for Third Friday and Art Detour, Eric Cox was busy running across the street.
Cox is a local painter who works in a variety of media out of his Garfield Galleria studio, an older stucco building that he says could use a little facelift. He approached the building owner a few months ago with an idea for the southern facing wall, and his mural, Old Man Phoenix, was born.
The piece took him two days to complete; Cox says his painting method was guess-and-check; he'd spray sections of the face, and then dodge traffic to make sure it still looked OK from more than a few feet away.

Cox, who you may know as ArtsyCoxy, moved to Phoenix from Georgia a few years ago. His art's been featured in Center Bistro in Tempe and in Willo North Gallery in Phoenix and in the Garfield Galleria alongside his studio neighbors including Kathy D. Cone, Julio Romano, and Marc Andrew.
Old Man Phoenix is a goodbye piece; Cox is moving his studio, though just to a different neighborhood in Phoenix. But he also says the large-scale work has a message -- the word "embrace", which you can find hidden in the mural, is what he'd like to see a little more of (figuratively) in Phoenix.

Ask your OB what he/she prefers. Mine says not to travel too far after 36 weeks. BUT your doc may say otherwise. And depending on how your pregnancy goes, you may have to stay closer sooner. Ask at your next appt. :)

I would travel up to the last week, unless you are dilated/thinning out before then.
Mommy to Claire (7/2008), Alexander (7/2010), & Adam (5/2012)!
I dont' think there is a definate - just how soon for you. If I go to the beach, my beach house is only 2 hours away. So I could still drive back - or DH would be driving! How far along do you think you would be comfortable being 8 hours away from your OB?
I will be traveling to the beach the week before my EDD - my cousin is getting married! Unless my doctor tells me no way Jose!
Of course - you can always ask your doctor what he recommends.

266 Preprego, 277 at delivery, down to 248, only 73�to go!
I drove 5 hours away at 37 weeks. I am planning on taking a trip to the beach (5 hours) this time when I am around 35 weeks
That will depend on your doctor, mine would prefer I didn't travel too far after 26 weeks since sometimes babies try to come that early, that and the longer you have to sit in a car at the point the more common blood clots are, so she told me if I do decide to travel far then to make plenty of stops to get up and move around and of course to use the bathroom since that will likely be another part of the issue, ha!! I have to travel around that time to go to my shower my family is throwing me, but that will be one of my last big trips before the baby comes just incase.
Expecting #2 in July 2012.

My theory (and this is MY theory, not my doctors, because I feel they can advise me all they want but I get to make a final decision) is that I would travel as long as I was comfortable with traveling. I personally was willing to go to the beach 6 hours away for a week of vacation, leaving at week 37. It worked out that I'll be 35/36 weeks when I go, so it's better. However, here's my thing: there's hospitals everywhere. Insurance covers costs, whether you're at home or traveling. If you need to go to a hospital, you go to a hospital. A doctor will deliver your baby, and it'll be fine. Now, if I was dilated and the doctor was expecting me to go early, or I had a history of going early, I'd be less comfortable traveling that late. However, as it stands, I went late with my first and I expect to go to term with this one. Things may happen, sure, but things may happen at 32 or 35 or 38 weeks. There's always a hospital nearby.
I had a friend who traveled 3 hours away for a weekend beach trip the weekend before she gave birth. Personally I'd be fine with that too especially if it was my first, knowing most firsties go late.
This uterus is CLOSED for business.
I am going to my MIL's lake house 7/4 and EDD 7/15 (but my Dr told me to be prepared to possibly come 1-2 weeks early. She lives 1 1/2 hours away. I asked my Dr about this and he pretty much gave me a "do not tell me" kind of response!
Whenever someone says "I'm not book smart, but I'm street smart", all I hear is "I'm not real smart, but I'm imaginary smart".
Mom2LittleD - be careful many airlines will not let you fly at that point in your pregnancy. Check with your airline - They will require a doctor's note to say how far along you are if they suspect you to be too close.
To OP - I would talk to your doctor. And use that as a guideline for what you feel comfortable with. Also sitting in a car for 8 hours may not be super comfy at that point.

The singer confirmed she will star in Woody Allen's new series for Amazon with an enthusiastic post on Instagram Monday.
"F--k yeah! Stoked to be in Woody Allen's first series!!!!!" Cyrus, 23, wrote alongside a photo of a painting resembling the 80-year-old famed director.
"I had claimed 2016 to be my year of 'chillin the f--k out' but next to my bed for a few years now has been this portrait of W.A.," she added. "I was looking into his eyes when I got the call to be apart of the cast and work alongside the bad a$$ Elaine May & da dude himself!"
The six half-hour-episode series, which has yet to be named, marks the first time Cyrus has collaborated with Allen. The most recent project she was featured in was Netflix's A Very Murray Christmas.
Filming will begin in March, according to Deadline.
2016 is already becoming a memorable year as Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth's engagement is officially back on. "Miley is beyond happy to be engaged to Liam again," a source told PEOPLE. "It might seem sudden, but they have been very close for the past few months."
