The San Ramon school district is getting tough on bullies.
"Districts are now required to implement a harassment and anti-bullying policy," explained spokesman Terry Koehne. "We went through our ex policy, to not only to meet the requirement, but also to capture the kinds of things we are doing as a district to maintain safe campuses."
Koehne said safety is the district's number-one priority. He said if students don't feel safe, they can't learn.
"It happens and it happens far too often, but we're doing everything we can to minimize that and to make sure we have things in place to deal with them," he said.
But he added that it's more than just a school problem.
"It's a societal issue," Koehne said. "Kids feeling or being intimidated by other students, based on -- fill in the blank: based on religion, based on sex orientation or perceived sexual orientation, based on gender, based on race, based on culture."
Specifically, the district now has clear channels to follow in case of bullying.
"One of the new things that the policy does is it names a person (who handles complaints), Koehne said, adding that person is Jessica Romero, the district's assistant superintendent of human resources. "We go a little bit further and make sure that each school has a designee that serves as a coordinator."
He said the principal at each school will serve as designee.
Simply put, if a student or employee at any of the district's schools feels threatened or harassed, that person can tell any staff member, who will forward the information to the principal, who will work with the coordinator to investigate the complaint.
Koehne said the policy formalizes the systems that have been in place at schools, and added, "Its nothing that indicates all the things we are doing by any stretch."
But he said the revised policy does make one thing explicit:
"We teach tolerance but we don't tolerate hatred."

Here are the specs of HTC next flagship, according to @upleaks
Just a few days ago we received our first rumors regarding HTC's next flagship smartphone, dubbed the One (M9). Today, @upleaks has come forward with a rather different hardware list, so let's compare notes.
According to the tweet, the next HTC flagship will be called Hima, at least internally. The smartphone will be a 1080p 5-inch handset, with 3GB of RAM, Cat6 LTE capabilities, a 20.7MP rear camera and the possibility of either a 13 megapixel or 4 ultrapixel front facing camera. Perhaps that will depend on regionality?
The Hima will also apparently feature a Snapdragon 810 SoC, with four ARM Cortex-A57 cores clocked at 2.0GHz and four 1.5GHz Cortex-A53 cores in a big.LITTLE configuration to save on power consumption. The Snapdragon 810 also features a top of the range Adreno 430 GPU. The only questionable specification is the seemingly small 2840mAh battery, although this might not be such a problem with a 5-inch 1080p display and more power efficient SoC.
HTC Hima:S810 2.0GHz*4+1.5GHz*4, 3GB RAM, 5″ FHD, VoLTE/CA/LTE Cat.6, 20.7MP(front 13MP or UltraPixel 4MP), 2840mAh, Android 5.0/Sense 7.0:)
— @upleaks (@upleaks) December 4, 2014
For comparison, earlier rumors suggested that HTC's flagship would be a larger 5.5-inch QHD smartphone, with a 16MP camera, 3500mAh battery and a Snapdragon 805 SoC. There is certainly quite a difference between these two proposed specifications. Perhaps HTC has multiple handsets in the works, or one, or both, could simply be wrong.
We can no doubt expect more rumors in the build up to next year's MWC. In the meantime, which of these specifications would you prefer to see in HTC's next flagship smartphone? The slightly better SoC with a smaller battery, or a 5.5-inch handset with a bigger battery?

I hope it's water-resistant…

- Mark Kendrick
Something to do with high quality sound I think, two kickass front facing speakers.
- Lisandro O Oocks
Which is why Z3 is best all around IMO
- Mark Kendrick
I've read that it's a great phone but I'm currently on Verizon and they F'd up the design with the Z3v. I've got to get away from Big Red but their service is second to none in my neighborhood.
- Aleksander Hoff
Buy a phone off contract, just save up the money to do just that instead of getting phones with a contract. That way you get none of those nasty logos from the operators etc. and you can choose whichever you like. Or can't you do that in the US?
- Mark Kendrick
We can do that with some carriers but unfortunately Verizon isn't one of them. For me it's not the money but the coverage. If I can get my wife's phone hooked up to her jobs wifi I'll jump ship to T-Mobile since they'll pay early termination fees and have access to unlocked phones.
- beedub
Traded my m8 for the z3,never looked back. 3gb of ram is sick as F.
- Question Authority
I have the Note 4 and sometimes 3 GB of RAM is too small. I have to clear cache and clear RAM. I hope one m9 has 4 GB RAM
- Noel
LOL…i hope not. I hope HTC shed their HUGE BEZEL shell as they move into 2015. They have to realize some ppl didn't take a bite on the One M8 due to huge bezels, screen wasting huge logo bar and the small battery.
I am hoping HTC will go with the 5.5″ screen ( QHD ok but preferably 1080p) with very very slim bezels (80+% screen to bezel ratio), the BIG 3500+mAh battery can go as high as 4000mAh, 20.7MP rear-cam, 5MP front cam, QSD 810, 3 or 4GB RAM, 32/64/128GB int storage plus SD card slot, slimmed down BoomSound speakers with Bose tech plus all the other top techs of 2015. Please NO SPACE WASTING LOGO BAR, make it an almost all screen face and hopefully keep it under 146mm tall.
Agreed. The logo bar wasted space. One logo on the back please and thank you HTC.
- blitz4075
But how will you be able to be constantly reminded who made your phone? What if you forget???
- Noel
Lol…i doubt u will forget.
- blitz4075
dont doubt me noel
- PoisonApple31
But but there was stuff behind the logo bar! =)
- Lisandro O Oocks
- Noel
That is their excuse…how come LG and other OEMs make devices without the need for space wasting huge logo bar on the face of the phone. I am pretty sure HTC can make the M9 with an all screen face.. I hope they do it…they must. :)
- TheSony/AppleFanatic
You just described the LG G4… HTC won't make a phone with that thin of a bezel.
- Aleksander Hoff
If you think the One M8 weighed a lot before.. imagine the weight with the battery you are asking for here.. damn.. it would rip holes in your pocket.
- MasterMuffin
YUP and this rumor seems more legit
- Rolf Brandser
This seems legit.
there will also be a plus/prime version with a larger screen.
- qu4ttro
agreed, size it like my M7 and upgrade the hardware only.
- android freak
I trust in HTC wisdom of choice but all I want from them this time is the Wight is want it to be extremely lightweight with bose sound
- dodz
If this doesnt have that ultrapixel crap as the main cam, I might sell my note 4. lol.
they almost had the perfect recipe for the perfect phone, too bad it was spoiled by the ultrapixel camera.
we're hoping for you next year HTC, better not disappoint us.
- Chris
They won't. They have improved a lot in recent years
- Mark Kendrick
I had the M8 for just over a weak and retuned it because of the sucky camera.
- Lars Jeppesen
Funny I love the camera. Low light ftw
- Mark Kendrick
The low light shots were fine but the other images weren't to my liking. Fortunately there is choice in the market because we all have different priorities and likes.
- Kacho_ON
YES! Please have Gorilla Glass 4 and Google Play Edition
- Preben Nielsen
Gimme, gimme, gimme!
- Joshua Mora
I'm gonna be a true fan of HTC if this specs is true and hopefully the design will get even sleeker.
From a future owner of One M8
- Stachura5
I had a One M7 and I fell in love with it… Especially the 4,7″ screen, metal body and speakers, but I had to sell it because it had 2 manufacturing problems and I had no money for repairs :/ Still miss it after 3 months
the thing with the battery…
- (elcas)
still no waterproof? still not buying !
This is not a final spec list, and this is not something officially released by HTC. Wait till the phone actually gets announced.
- (elcas)
please understand that it's my opinion on this rumor
so i wasn't actually running around to put my money back in my wallet
I was just stating that untill they release/anounce something waterproof i have no intention of starting to look at their product
(which then goes through the stage of other spec sheet, test and review then buy)
- Chris
So you won't buy a phone that's not out yet that's RUMORED specs were posted?
OK then. I'll won't buy the phone I'll be buying I'm ten years…. Same with that car…..
- Raj
Noooo you gotta get that phone in 10 years man
- Roberto Tomás
I'm confused .. there are apparently two variants of the snapdragon 810 already? Look up snapdragon 810 "adreno 430" and .. you find lots of hits. But the same is true with what I thought the 810 came with, the adreno 440.
This version is downclocked too I think, they were talking about 2.5Ghz earlier but that at least makes sense when you consider thermals
- Leandro Brandão
i hope is true. 5″, still full hd, no meaningless QHD display, bigger battery, most powerful soc than others, awesome camera, 3gb of ram (2gb would be fine because sense is so light and optimized), i hope they improve speakers and build quality even more. is a win fot htc.
- Chris
And if it does have higher resolution so be it
- SaRPeR
On a 5" display 1080p is enough you can't spot the difference between FHD and QHD anyway.
- Cole Raney
I don't see why you are parading the fact that itbis a 5 inch screen. It is still as big as my G3 with a 5.5 inch screen.
- black88halo
I don't thing this is the M9.. I'm sure it's another project because I don't think they wont be part of the QHD displays and they never called the One series anything else but "M" (M7 & M8).. Why change it now.. And the tweet doesn't refer anywhere something about the M9. Just specs..
- ConCal
Good point.
- Cao Meo
64bit then should be 4GB RAM
- Luis E. Cornejo
No, It shouldn't. It must have 4GB RAM yes or FU…ING YES.
- Romeo
I would very much like to see rapid charging tech on the next HTC, as well as a replaceble battery, 5.5 inch screen with boomsound speakers, but much smaller bezzlez on the phone ( LG G3 style body with the speakers from the HTC Eye for reduced body size ). That would really be an awesome device…
- Chris
Replaceable batteries are going away. If battery tech can improve the quality there's no need for that crap
- Cole Raney
But batteries are barely keeping up. Really, they aren't keeping up because they have to use bigger and bigger batteries to get comparable battery life.
Plus, it is always nice to be able to replace a bad battery without sending it in to the manufacturer.
- Chris
My battery has yet to go bad. I think people are just scared because they think they look cool or something by flipping batteries around
- [S]unjay
"2840mAh"? Get your stuff together HTC. It shouldbe 3000mAh
- Chris
Calm down there buddy. Nothing is official yet
- [S]unjay
I guess that's true.
The specs seems to be a monster ,i hope at least they try yo upgrade a 8 or 13 UltraPixel.
5 inch display and 1080p for me its enough.
Nice !
- Chris
Some get angry over anything higher then 1080p. I remember those same people got angry over 1080p rumors and they said we don't need it. 720p or less is fine enough….
I wouldn't mind seeing a higher resolution screen. Or at least give us super omled
- Nabeel
must kill ultrapixel
- TheSony/AppleFanatic
ultrapixels are a good thing…
- Nabeel
I know it is Good but, it still looks as it is in Beta stage…low light bring S*** out of me

- frhow
This makes alot more sense, this is HTC time to gain marketshare back from Samsung and they cant skimp on any specs.
- dave
It's just guessing and speculation at this stage.. too early to tell.
- Bob
A 4mp Ultrapixel for the front camera is a great idea. Low light selfies are really bad with most phones. Hope that this 20.7MP deal actually takes good, crisp pictures and they aren't just throwing in huge amounts of MP's to just bump up specs and satisfy the pixel hungry haters.. I have seen pictures taken with 16MP phones that look better than 20+Mp. Heck, I'd be happy with an 8MP Ultrapixel on the rear (with OIS of course).
As far as the battery goes.. as long as 5.0 and the new Sense are optimized I don't see a problem, plus that 810 chip should help with battery life.. unless they do use a QHD display at release. My M8 battery is absolutely great.
5″ screen size is big enough IMO.. I really don't want a phablet as my next HTC flagship phone
(although I'd probably get it regardless) — HTC Fanboy here..
Shorten the top and bottom a few millimeters on each end and we have the perfect phone. Haha
- Ben Edwards
100% agreed.
- Prady
I am ok with any of these.. could be the phone to beat & HTC will have a winner..
5″ FHD+810 SoC+Adreno 430 GPU+20.7 MP Rear camera with dual LED flash+5MP Front facing camera with dual LED flash+2840 mah battery+32GB Onboard storage+3GB RAM+Memory Card slot+ Android 5.0/Sense 7.0

- Botmun
It would be great if they go for FHD!
I don't believe they will go with 20.7MP camera.
- Me
Plz let this be true. They can release a max model later w/ a 5.5 in QHD screen, but I'd be more than happy w/ 1080p w/ a 810 processor.
- i_say_uuhhh
If this is true I would be amazingly happy. I am sticking with HTC since I love the quality of the phones and I love how simple Sense Ui is compared to any of the other skins besides stock android. It's fluid and quick.
I just hope that the 20 MP camera will actually take decent photos unlike the current 13 MP I have on my Desire 816.
- Vuyo Ncube
Full HD FTW. Less pixels, less problems, more power!
- ConCal
True that. Especially at 5″ the extra pixles would just consume battery and processing power.
- ConCal
Man the 810 is going g to be such a beast. I just wish the Nexus 6 had it!
- ConCal
An HTC phone with a super small bezel would be my dream.
- crutchcorn
Now THIS I could get into
- SaRPeR
5" 1080p with Snapdragon 810 is better.
- Mitru Raul
Htc who ? :P It would not be a surprise if they will put a small battery in their future phone . That is the reason I don't buy their products from 2011 till now .
- Jehan Kateli
2.0GHz does not seem right…
- Ben Edwards
I like these specs much better than the previous rumours.
- Marc Perrusquia
I really don't want to go down in screen size I'd love a 6 inch or even larger display with the prime version. Still at 1080p though to preserve performance and battery life.
- Question Authority
I'd prefer higher resolution.
- Chad
I love all of it! I really hope HTC does this. The only thing though a 2K display and maybe a 3200mah battery would be nicer.
- Replicant Jason Booth
Ok let's take that "5 display coupled with that 3500 mah battery along with that s810 processor, 1080p panel, boomsound, = perfection
Just lose the crappy ultra pixel crap and it will already be one of the best smartphones ever made. I love mine but just can't deal with the camera which is why I'm rocking the Note 4 now which is hands down the best smartphone ever built IMO and what I hope the M9 is minus the S-Pen obviously and a 5″-5.2″ display instead of the 5.7″ on the Note 4.
If they end up putting a 64 bit processor then they better jump up to 4gb of RAM or they're really losing their chance to make the first future proof Android device.
- purplelove7
Yep … I can upgrade any time now. Time for some Jedi patience for this NEW device , yes indeed …
- Danny Samuel
Way to go HTC…this time no mercy on other Falgships
- ParSa
Come on, leak PHOTOS so we could see that gorgeous glorious phone before HTC introduce it, specs aren't enough!

Ta is an assistant to Vietnam's deputy prime minister and an associate professor at the Diplomatic Academy of Vietnam. He earned his doctorate in political science in 2002 from the Institute of Political Studies at the Polish Academy of Sciences. In 2011, he was a fellow at the Center for Northeast Asian Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution. Since 2005, he has been a member of the Study Group on Countering the Proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction in the Asia-Pacific, an initiative of the Council for Security Cooperation. His research interests include Vietnam's politics and foreign policy, US foreign policy, nonproliferation, and nuclear energy.
The author argues that international fuel bank initiatives can succeed as long as all parties approach the project in a spirit of fairness and transparency, with no political bargaining going on behind the scenes.
The author that when developing countries decide whether to construct their own enrichment facilities, or instead to purchase low-enriched uranium on the open market and depend on the IAEA fuel banks as a backstop, they will do so on the basis of national interest.
Among the fundamental challenges facing the nonproliferation project is that highly enriched uranium suitable for nuclear weapons can be produced in the same facilities that make low-enriched uranium for civilian reactors.
The author argues that although international fuel banks might benefit customer nations in several ways, they also present potential economic and national security risks.

January Patch Notes
Not like it concerns me anymore, but isn't that kind of a nerf to Evie changing her magic arrow to only shoot 1 again?
Many times only the middle arrow for my Evie hit because of slight off-aiming or that the middle arrow's range was very slightly farther than the other two. Besides, the smaller side arrows didn't seem very noticeable to me. The main arrow gets buffed anyways, in terms of range and damage.

Really nice, spacious and fully equipped (good blow dryer!) apartement, only 3 walking minutes to Charles Bridge and about 8-10 walking minutes to city centre, perfect for a city trip!

So if you come unprepared, after the key and information handover you are well informed! If you have any question, Alex or Anastacia will answer within hours, so really great host service!
Wohnung entsprach voll unser Zufriedenheit. Die Übergabe des Schlüssels klappte super . Wohnung ist sauber, gut ausgestattet. Sie liegt sehr zentral einfach super.
Auch auf eine Reklamation unserseits wurde sofort reagiert, man konnte die Wohnungstür nicht von innen abschließen und wir fühlten uns als zwei Frauen mit Kindern doch ein wenig unwohl. Es wurde sofort auf einem Sonntag ein neues Schloss eingebaut. Vielen, vielen Dank dafür, wir fühlten uns danach sicherer. Die Wohnung ist einfach empfehlenswert.
La entrada por la calle de atrás nos asustó un poco al principio y, con el plano que nos dieron, nos costó encontrar la puerta del apartamento, ya que es un edificio de viviendas. Luego vimos que la entrada principal era mucho más bonita y acogedora, así que a partir de aquel dia siempre entramos por la puerta principal (num12).
Realmente estábamos muy bien situados, cerca del puente Carlos y a 5 minutos de la plaza vieja (stare mesto).El apartamento estaba muy limpio (para mi muy importante) y con todo el menaje que necesitábamos, además de sábanas y toallas.
Nuestra estancia fue muy buena y si volviéramos a Praga volveríamos a coger este apartamento.
Fantastico!! El sitio es perfecto. Esta situado perfectamente para poder visitar todo lo imprescindible de Praga caminando. Puedes visitar monumentos, desplazarte a la zona de marcha, ver puntos de interés, y todo a solo 15 minutos máximo. Si además quieres ir a sitios mas lejanos, tienes a 5 minutos una estación de metro, y paradas del tranvía.
El apartamento esta genial. Todo nuevo y muy bien cuidado, por ponerle algún pero, el exterior del edificio es antiguo y no aparenta lo que es después el alojamiento. Si tuviera vistas al rio, el precio se podría disparar!!!
En general muy muy bien, totalmente recomendable.
Excelente apartamento y muy buen trato con la anfitriona, una excelente situacion recomendable 100%
I can recommend everything: the apartment (central, big enough (we were altogehter 5), clean, modern, well-appointed), the agency (very helpful, very obliging, reliable) and, of course, the beautiful city Prague! I would definitely make a reservation with ruterra Apartment over and over again.
The apartment is well taken care of, beautiful, comfortable and is in a perfect location. We had a superb stay, Kairat and Katerina, from Ruterra, were really nice and helpful with us and gave us great pointers on how to enjoy Prague and move around.
We will go back to Prague in December for business and we hope to find this apartment available, it feels just like home.
Thank you!
Kate gave us a very warm welcome at Prague with a big package of tips for our stay.
The apartment is really big, bigger than expected. It was very clean and everything we needed including tea and coffee was available. The biggest advantage is that the apartment is very close to the main touristic spots. Because the apartment is at the ground floor you can hear people talking when passing by. But we know this before and it was not as hard as expected. A hair dryer is also in the apartment, it is not in the list of interior.
Perfectly situated in the heart of Prague. Location was ideal for getting around to all of the sights, however prepare yourself for little sleep due to noisy partygoers passing in the street throughout the night.

Volunteers will participate in large-scale emergency response operations and may supplement staff shortages at healthcare facilities. Types of operations include:
- Community reception centers
- Disease investigation and contact tracing
- Flu clinics
- Mass prophylaxis/vaccination clinics and point-of-dispensing sites
Volunteers will be activated when additional health professionals are needed to meet the demands of a health or medical emergency. You will be contacted by email or phone when your unit has been activated.
TrainingThe Medical Reserve Corps program provides a basic orientation. If the unit is activated, members will receive "just in time" training to assure they are ready to respond to the specific event. Volunteers will also have the opportunity to participate in emergency preparedness response exercises.
Liability protection and workers compensation
Volunteers work under the Multnomah County Health Department emergency response plan. When activated, you will be covered for medical liability protection and workers compensation.
If you're thinking about joining, you should consider your current work or family obligations. During an emergency:
- Would you already be involved in some aspect of response due to your current work responsibilities?
- Do you have family obligations that would require your assistance?
Why the Medical Reserve Corps Was Created
Following the events of 9/11 and the anthrax attacks in fall 2001, the public has increasingly recognized the importance of healthcare providers and institutions in responding to large-scale emergencies.
Because our area may need additional healthcare providers to support the health and medical aspects of an emergency response, Multnomah County relies on its Medical Reserve Corps to strengthen its response.

Groucho glasses
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Groucho glasses, also known as nose glasses or the beaglepuss, are a humorous novelty disguise based on the stage makeup that caricature comedian Groucho Marx wore (i.e., large fake mustache, eyebrows, and glasses). They typically consist of black horn-rimmed glasses with attached eyebrows, large plastic nose, bushy moustache, and occasionally with an attached plastic cigar. Considered one of the most iconic and widely used of all novelty items, Groucho glasses were first marketed in the early 1940s[1] and are instantly recognizable to people throughout the world.[2] Groucho glasses today are often used as a shorthand for slapstick.[3]
In popular culture[edit]
- The logo for the website Chortle depicts a pair of Groucho glasses above the 'e'; the glasses are also used as the website's favicon
- In Red Dwarf the ship's computer Holly wears a pair when he reveals he is making a joke to crew member Dave Lister[4]
- Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, a comedy adventure game developed by Lucasfilm Games in 1988, features a race of aliens who wear Groucho glasses to disguise themselves[5]

I turned on my Wii for the first time in a while, and I got this message in the system's email or whatever:
Customers who had previously used 500 Wii Points to download the Internet Channel to their Wii console can now download for 0 Wii Points, one NES game of their choice (valued at 500 Wii Points) from the Virtual Console catalog. After updating your Wii Shop Channel, access this offer by pressing the One Free Title button on the top screen of the Wii Shop Channel. This offer will expire at 11:59pm PST on 12/31/2009.**
I don't see a "One Free Game" option anywhere in the Virtual Console menu. And my Wii System Software is already up to date. How do I get the free title?
You probably cant get the title since you didnt buy the internet channel. You probably got it for free, in which case you dont get the 500wii points.

Best tech careers for introverted IT pros
Being an introvert isn't easy in the constantly evolving and networked world of technology. The banter that comes so easy to some is a mystery to the shy. Those who are able to 'fake it' spend a great deal of time recharging their batteries after social interactions. That said, don't let the fact that you're an introvert stop you from achieving your career goals. Here are some tech jobs that are a natural fit.

will the dough freeze?
5 ingredients. This is a great recipe to have on hand for tummy troubles or sandwich cravings. This simple 5 ingredient bread actually was born when I had a stomach bug and just wanted crackers. I didn't want to put all that processed stuff that is in most gluten free store bought crackers in my body - lest I feel even worse than I was! If you need carbs for your stomach or otherwise, or, just want your sandwich - and you want to keep it as clean as possible - and tasty - this is for you. Recipe with step by step here
will the dough freeze?
You know all those things you wanted to do: You should go do them.

Wow seems to be very yummy and try to make it at home.
I'm salivating just looking at the pictures. Ty for posting
Earthy Mama's Journal
"Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food" ~ Hippocrates
I did the crackers in my microwave because i didnt feel like turning on the oven. They came out like the pita bread.
I did the flat bread on a griddle to go with soup... perfect! Thanks for the supremely easy recipe, Curlygirl! Next I will try the crackers. These would be perfect cheese-n-crackers crackers... no overwhelming cracker taste that hides the taste of the cheese!
I'm also thinking of adding garlic and spices to the flatbread. Or cinnamon. The possibilities are endless!

The Return of Fun and Unbridled Optimism: Are the Wizards Ready?
Turn that frown…
Upside down…
On September 9th, the first Sunday of the 2012 NFL season, Robert Griffin III (RGIII) led the Washington Redskins to a 40-32 victory over the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome. The days of tepid offensive performances were gone, replaced by a skilled quarterback who seemingly could engineer scoring drives at will. The next day, via his local radio show on D.C.'s Sportstalk 980, Tony Kornheiser proclaimed that this new and improved RGIII-led Redskins team was ushering in an era of "unbridled optimism."
"Everybody knows, intellectually, that something bad can and will happen down the road. If you can't enjoy this week, if you can't be welcomed into the land of unbridled optimism this week, you're never gonna be able to feel that way." —Tony Kornheiser
Fans of the Washington football team (a group that includes Truth About It editor Kyle Weidie) rode that wave until something bad did happen. During their first playoff appearance since 2007, RGIII's knee gave out for a third and final time, rendering Washington's offense (and possibly Mike Shanahan's judgement), inept. The Seattle Seahawks defeated the Redskins and optimism quickly turned into fear over RGIII's future, as well as many loathing Mike Shanahan's decision to keep his hurting star rookie quarterback in the game.
Just two and a half years ago, John Wall brought that same type optimism and joy to Washington Wizards fans. Team owner Ted Leonsis rolled out the red carpet, then-D.C. mayor Adrian Fenty declared June 25, 2010 "John Wall Day," and this was all before Wall played an official game in a Wizards uniform. When Wall finally did get on the court in a game that counted, his debut wasn't nearly as dazzling as RGII's (Wall had 14 points, nine assists and three steals), but in that game—as well as Washington's home opener a few days later when he scored 29 points with 13 assists and nine steals—it was clear that Wall was a franchise player.
Wall was good, but not great during his rookie year, and improvement during his second year was evident, but he didn't take a giant step akin to the Derrick Roses and the Russell Westbrooks of the world. Some of it was blamed on the lockout and the torrid exhibition schedule Wall maintained while waiting for the NBA's labor dispute to be resolved. An equal amount of blame could have been placed on the drastic team changes during the 2011-12 season. Flip Saunders was fired, Randy Wittman was hired, Nick Young and JaVale McGee were traded, and Andray Blatche was prematurely shelved due to a lack of conditioning.
This year, Wall's third year as a Wizard, was setting up to be the breakout year. Not only did he play with a more controlled fury toward the end of the previous season, but the newly acquired Nene gave him a mature, reliable post option, as opposed to McGee and Blatche, who were erratic at best. The Wizards parlayed that new look into a season-ending six-game winning streak, and even Ted Leonsis began to talk about new(er) beginnings—the playoffs and, of course, references to his Washington Capitals. With Bradley Beal, Emeka Okafor, A.J. Price and Trevor Ariza on the roster for 2012-13, the Wizards had every reason to believe that they were turning a corner not visited since the days of Eddie Jordan and Gilbert Arenas in the mid-2000s.
But, as Kornheiser so eloquently said, "something bad can and will happen down the road," and it came via an injury to John Wall's knee. The initial diagnosis was eight weeks, then there were a series of tap dances regarding Wall's injury timetable by Ernie Grunfeld and Randy Wittman, which led to the feeling that Wall may never return to the court this season. The Wizards' poor performances (victories over the Heat and Thunder not withstanding) in Wall's absence certainly weren't helping ease matters, either. Then, the news suddenly turned positive.
First, Wall was given permission to "ramp up" his activity level. He returned to practice (seemingly a bit heavier) showing flashes of the old explosiveness. Then, via an innocent conversation with a young fan before the Oklahoma City game, Wall indicated that he could return this Saturday against the Atlanta Hawks.
The timing of his announcement couldn't come at a better time for the woeful Wizards. Rookie Bradley Beal (who is averaging 18.2 points in the month of January), hit a game-winning shot against the Thunder and is starting to play like the third pick in the draft should. Prior to his recent ankle injury, Jordan Crawford showed that he can be more of a consistent scorer (with bad shots still peppered in, of course). Jan Vesely, who had been mired in a season-long funk, had 10 points and seven rebounds in that same Oklahoma City game, and he finally looked like a man having fun on the court and not over-thinking every move. When the healthy bodies of Trevor Booker, Ariza and Nene (OK, Nene is always day-to-day) are thrown into the mix, as well as the carefully measured minutes of John Wall, the Verizon Center just may be ready to resume rooting for the home team—as opposed to the last two homes games when Brooklyn and Oklahoma City fans took over.
On paper, and assuming the lack of conditioning does not become an issue, Wall's return to the court should signify a return to a more wide-open style of offense. Without him, the Wizards have averaged just 12.7 fastbreak points per game—good for 17th in the NBA (which is better than expected for a 5-28 team). Last season the Wizards averaged 17.9 fastbreak points per game (3rd in the NBA,), and that was without a talent like Beal manning the backcourt. More fastbreaks equal more open-court play, which could conceivably lead to exciting finishes around the basket for Beal, Vesely, Booker, Wall, Seraphin, and perhaps even Garrett Temple.
It is doubtful that this fun, wide-open style of basketball will earn the Wizards a playoff appearance this season, given that they are 12 games behind the Boston Celtics for the eighth seed in the Eastern Conference. (John Hollinger's 2012-13 playoff odds don't give the Wiz a shot at all, and project them to finish, at best, 34-48.) But, a more exciting brand of basketball will bring excitement back to the Verizon Center, and perhaps the players will begin to have fun again. If you don't believe that having fun is an important component to NBA success, just read what Dwight Howard said (before he got injured). Better yet, listen to what D.C.-native Kevin Durant said about having fun before the Wizards-Thunder game on Monday:
Finally, as if Wall's alleged return and Durant's observations aren't enough, there are the encouraging words of Ted Leonsis, via Ted's Take:
"We play next on Saturday night at home and it is possible but not quite certain, for the first time all season, that we could dress all of our players. I don't want to jinx it, but we are all hoping that is what we will see. Stay tuned. Thank you."

CIA: Operation Ajax
Award-winning innovative graphic novel app that reconstructs the battle for black gold in the Arab world, long before the Second World War broke out.
First there was the Internet, and now the tablet has been discovered as a medium for innovative storytelling, inspiring unexpected and inventive hybrids. This award-winning app is equal parts animation documentary, spectacularly designed graphic novel, and in-depth journalistic reconstruction. Based on Stephen Kinzer's book All the Shah's Men: An American Coup and the Roots of Middle East Terror, CIA: Operation Ajax reveals how the battle for black gold in the Arab world broke out long before the Second World War. The British rulers had an iron grip on Iranian oil supplies until the dissident Mohammed Mossadegh arrived on the scene. Political tensions continued to rise, leading to the CIA-supported coup that brought down the Iranian democracy in 1953. With Kinzer's help, Mike De Seve adapted the historical events to create 10 chapters that come together in a filmic reading experience. The user swipes and brushes his or her way from image to image, each of them subtly and functionally animated, accompanied by a realistic soundtrack. CIA: Operation Ajax isn't a graphic novel, an animation, or a documentary – it's all of them at the same time.

Paiste Signature Dark Energy Cymbals Reviewed!
Paiste Signature Dark Energy Cymbals
Paiste has successfully melded the old-world buttery funk of the Traditionals line with the clarity and body of the Signature line into a new cymbal range they call Signature Dark Energy cymbals. These new cymbals are dark, a bit dry, and also sophisticated, strong, and beautiful.
The line so far has three Mark I hi-hat sizes (13", 14", 15"), five sizes of Mark I crashes (15", 16", 17", 18", 19"), and two different styles of ride cymbals, Mark I and Mark II, available in three sizes each (20", 21", 22"). From this first offering, DRUM! received all but the 15" crash.
In general, the line is dark, slightly dry, and mellow, but with plenty of power, substance, and volume. They are not brittle sounding — in fact they sound vaguely glossy. Put it this way: if the old Rude cymbals sounded like a mohawked psycho in a punk band, these Signature Dark Energy cymbals sound like a dark-haired, six-foot Danish model who paints with watercolors and teaches pilates to firemen.
Paiste offers two models, the Mark I and the Mark II, both in three sizes: 20", 21", and 22". The matte, sandblasted finish of the Mark I is punctuated by hammering that gives it a leopard-spotted look. The glossy bell, with its hammer-spots, rises from this arid cymbal-scape like a monument in a desert. The sound is dry, with lots of tah, instantly harkening back to the smoky jazz sounds of yesterday. But it has enough balls to work as a rock-and-roll cymbal — up to a point. Though the Mark I's dry tah happily applies to the big rock beat, its ping is dark, not high and clear like a heavy Paiste 2002. The 21" and 22" have more volume than the 20", and a slightly bigger ping that would hold up better to guitar amps.
The lovely collection of undertones that swell up under constant sticking on the Mark I is entrancing. It's fun to play this cymbal. It doesn't fight you, it greets you, "Hey! Let's play!" This cymbal always speaks "full voice" — you hear the stick meeting the face, what sounds like the stick sinking into the cymbal, and you hear the whole cymbal shudder and moan two floors below. If you want that super-clean "hammer on an anvil" sound, this is not your cymbal. But if you like truckloads of character, some wash, and a dry tah that draws the ear closer, check this out.
The Mark II ride is the noisier one, though they are definitely cousins. It has more bite, and the initial strike, though sweet, has a good deal of ping with the tah; the moan underneath is more of a song, and the wash is more than generous. The Mark II's glossy, hammer-mottled face looks buffed from face to bell, and you could say its appearance matches its brighter voice. While the Mark I broods and states its rhythms with dry voice and mumbling rumbles that stay safely underneath, the Mark II chats loudly and clearly, and the aggressive, higher-pitched wash threatens to overtake each note (but never does).
The bells belie the cymbals. The Mark I bell is dry, focused, and clear, but separate from the cymbal's body, just as the dry voice of the Mark I is clear and accompanied, distantly, by lovely dark undertones. The Mark II's bell is lively, ringing, raucous, and echoed freely in the entire body of the cymbal, just as the brighter, livelier voice of the Mark II is accompanied, closely, by all the noisy voices of its wash, all talking at once.
A note about the different sizes: these ride cymbals are like mail-order shoes, "Runs small. Order half-size larger." This reviewer, who usually plays a 20" ride cymbal, felt better matched by the 21" size. Bring your ears and trust them, and of course play them with your favorite sticks, because different weights, woods, shapes, and beads of sticks make worlds of difference on any ride cymbal.

#Muse6Music - help pick the Ultimate Muse Playlist
Teignmouth in Devon is not the most rock and roll town in Britain but 18 years ago that is where Matt, Chris and Dominic formed a band which went onto become one of the most influential and celebrated bands in British music – Muse.
With their sixth album The 2nd Law out on Monday (October 1) what better excuse is there to celebrate one of the UKs ultimate stadium performers than by asking you to up us pick two hours of music which reflects the breadth and significance of the band.
From the days they were known as Gothic Plague then Fixed Penalty followed by Rocket Baby Dolls to penning tracks for the Olympics there's so much material to pick from as well as influences of the band, people they've inspired the show could be much longer than two hours – so we need your suggestions to be good ones.
* From Uno to Madness there's a ridiculous amount of Muse singles, as well as B-sides, album tracks and rarities you could pick
* How about some of the band's influences? Nirvana, U2, Jeff Buckley, Queen etc etc
* And what about Radiohead. Bellamy has gone on record saying "they don't do much for him" but can you hear a bit of the Oxford band in their material?
* People Muse have sampled in their tracks such as Air, Billy Idol and Rage Against the Machine
* Or do you fancy one of the Vitamin String Quartet covers of Muse?
These are just some ideas – the power is actually in your hands so we want your suggestions with your reasons ahead of Sunday's show which you can send us by leaving a comment on this blog, commenting on our Facebook page, Tweeting us using #Muse6Music, sending us an e-mail or adding a track to our collaborative Spotify playlist.

In terms of actual Muse songs, Muscle Museum, Plug in Baby, Knights of Cydonia and Hysteria have to feature - they're the songs with the widest appeal that showcase the best the band have to offer. If you want to showcase the variety of stuff that they've done, stick something like Micro Cuts and Undisclosed Desires next to each other. For a lesser-known one, maybe Eternally Missed or The Groove (b-sides). Supremacy is the best off the new album, and maybe throw in some classics such as Time Is Running Out. Finish off with an epic (if not KoC then Citizen Erased will do fine) and you're sorted. Might even be worth throwing in something off one of their live albums - they play them so differently and are arguably even better. Supermassive Black Hole is one of the better ones.
In between, Bulls On Parade is a good one, along with something like The Bends by Radiohead, and for a Queen offering Another One Bites The Dust or Killer Queen is a good shout.
So something along the lines of:
Plug In Baby
The Bends
Muscle Museum
The Groove
Falling Away With You
Micro Cuts
Undisclosed Desires
Bulls On Parade
Hysteria with interlude
Eternally Missed
Killer Queen
Supermassive Black Hole (live version?)
Knights of Cydonia
Haven't bothered to check timings but that'd be an excellent starting point

RATM and Queen have always been the two influences I'd heard as well as the Jeff Buckley-esque falcetto/guitar-virtuosity. I still don't get the Radiohead comparisons and I'd been a fan of both bands for some time, but I'd propose their Paranoid Android (or Bohemian Rhapsody) - Citizen Erased - is the best they ever managed.
I still enjoy they're albums and the stream of the 2nd Law is a nice fun album, but I think they're best radical days are behind them. Absolution and Origin of Symmetry are when they got the balance right between heavy/pop/wall-of-sound just right. After that it is more and more bombast (not really being critical). But Map of the Problematique and Undisclosed Desires are still incredible.
Comment number 3.At 12:43 27th Sep 2012, Shey wrote:
I agree with Gav and "Citizen Erased" is always such a special song both on record and in a live setting.
The curve ball from Muse themselves I've loved ever since I first heard it was their collaboration with Mike Skinner and The Streets in the shape of "Who Knows Who". The track just feels off the cuff and has the feel of Muse in a live setting when they jam between tracks. Big riffs and tongue in cheek. It's hard to listen to that track and not want to be in a pit of sorts jumping up and down. It's also a huge nod to Tom Morello/RATM in the riff department.
It'd be very cool to hear that on the show. Just a few suggestions for now...

Sify Technologies (NASDAQ:SIFY) is an India-based IT and networking company that has been listed on the U.S. stock market since 1999. The company saw its stock climb to ~$350 during the NASDAQ boom before falling to the single-digit levels. The stock has literally gone nowhere in the last 10 years despite seeing occasional spikes. Sify held a lot of promise as a provider of network data management services for corporate and individual customers. SIFY was the first organized player to get into the business of cybercafés for providing Internet access on hourly rates for customers in the Indian cities. But that business never really took off despite the company opening hundreds of cafes across the country. The availability of cheap data plans on handsets has decimated that business segment of the company. Sify now relies primarily on providing IT services such as website management, Sass and cloud computing solutions, hosting, VPN access, voice and data traffic services etc. to companies. Sify also has a couple of web portals though they do not contribute much to the company's revenues. The stock is trading near its 52-week low of $1.6, but I think that it is still avoidable given its loss-making history and lack of a coherent strategy.
What does SIFY Do?
Sify is mainly a provider of corporate connectivity and communication solutions to the companies in India. The company also provides network management, Saas, cloud computing hosting and security solutions. Sify also gets some revenues from its broadband services, web portal and cybercafé business. SIFY competes with big telecom providers in India such as Idea Cellular, Aortal and Reliance Communication in providing communication solutions to its clients.
SIFY Issues
1) No Focus - SIFY.com has failed to focus on IT segment and entered multiple areas without getting success in any one area. It is difficult to identify Sify as a pure networking, content or software company. The company sells enterprise software solutions, has an Internet landing station, claims to have the 3rd-largest portal and provides broadband solutions. IT companies in India have seen spectacular growth in the last 10 years, as they have leveraged India's low-cost technical manpower to build multi-billion dollar businesses. Sify on the other hand has gone from one low to another low. I think the company's lack of focus and strategy is the biggest problem with Sify.
2) Volatile Financials - The company has been in the red for most of its operating history, generating profits in a couple of years only. The company's operating margins have been extremely low and have also been quite volatile becoming negative quite frequently. The company does not have a debt problem but it does not have too much cash on the balance sheet either.
SIFY Operating Margin TTM data by YCharts
3) Competition is high in Communication and Networking services - The company competes against very large telecom providers in providing data and voice communication services to companies. Sify also has to spend a large amount of money in building infrastructure for providing the network services. The company does not have the scale and reach to effectively leverage the investments infrastructure. The company used to be a big ISP earlier, but now there are hardly any independent ISPs left in India as large telecom and cable companies such as Hathaway have taken over the role.
4) The Indian Economy is going through a big downturn - The Indian economy has seen a sharp slowdown in recent times like rest of the emerging markets. GDP growth this year is expected to fall to a decade low, as high interest rates and inflation combined with a weak currency form a vicious cocktail. India's main rating agency has estimated that a huge number of India's top companies are in a serious danger of defaulting on their debt payments. Many top IT integrators such as Tulip Telecom are on the verge of bankruptcy and have not paid their employees for months.
5) Parentage is not exactly the best - Sify was earlier known as Satyam Infoway before it was sold to the current management. For readers who do not know, Satyam caused one of the biggest scandals in corporate India by fraudulently fudging its balance sheet. The case led to the jailing of its promoters and auditors and caused big losses to its ADR holders. Though this scandal does not directly impact the company, I would still remain wary.
6) Share Dilution at a discount - Promoter groups in India are not known for being friendly to minority stockholders and Sify is no exception. The company raised $86 million from promoter affiliated groups at a large discounted price by selling shares in its unlisted Indian entities. Convoluted financial transactions are frequently used to benefit the promoters at the expense of the minority shareholders.
SIFY Upside Risks
a) India's IT and Networking market has a large potential - India's small and medium enterprises (SMEs) have low levels of IT penetration. The potential for providing data centre, Saas, security and other IT solutions is very large. Cloud computing solution is another growth area where the value proposition is making many companies migrate to private and public clouds. Sify is seeing the fastest growth in these areas.
b) Indian IT integrators are in disarray - Most of Sify's Indian competitors in the IT integration and data centre services are in a really bad shape. One of the major IT integration companies which had won big orders has seen its CEO absconding. The company might benefit from the weak competition in the IT integration area as companies become selective in hiring companies with a relatively strong background only.
Stock Performance has been abysmal over all time periods
SIFY has traded in a range between $1.6 and $3.2 in the past year and is currently trading at $1.81. The company's performance has been quite bad both on a short term and a long term basis. The stock has given a loss of ~12% over the last one year and lost 32% in the last 5 years. The company has been a big value destroyer, having lost 95% of its value since its IPO and over 99.5% of its value from the peak price reached during 2000.
SIFY Total Return Price data by YCharts
Stock Valuation is not cheap despite trading near 52-week lows
SIFY is not cheap despite trading near its 52-week low with a P/B of 3.1x and a P/S of 1.7x. The company has seen very volatile earnings throughout its listed history and it has been free cash flow negative over the last 3 years. Though the company has managed to grow topline by ~10% in the last 3 years, it should be remembered that consumer price inflation is also running at nearly 10% in India since the last few years.
SIFY has failed to capitalize on the tremendous IT opportunities in India over the last decade. Many companies have made it big in the Indian market despite starting much later than Sify. The company claims to be the first Indian ICT company to be listed on the NASDAQ, but its performance has been amongst the worst. The company has tried to do many things and got lost in the process. SIFY is still operating in too many areas such as providing software and network services besides running a portal. The company's financials have been extremely volatile and the company has made profits in only a couple of years. The company's valuation is not cheap and the sharp stock price decline reflects the company's indifferent performance. The slowdown in the Indian economy is a huge risk for Sify as it gets almost all of its revenues from the domestic market. There are many other small and mid-cap companies in India's IT space that are trading at lower valuation with better prospects. I would advice investors to stay away from Sify and look for better options such as Cognizant Solutions (NASDAQ:CTSH).

Mid-major teams have emerged as serious power players in college basketball in the past few seasons.
Teams like Gonzaga, Butler and VCU are just the most publicized parts of a greater movement away from the idea that all the talent resides in the power six conferences.
Just take a look at the preseason rankings by both AP and USA Today.
There are five mid-majors in both top 25 rankings, and all of these teams have considerable room to move towards the top 10.
ESPN's Eamonn Brennan put it best when he said:
"Half of the Associated Press preseason All-America list came from schools outside the power six conferences. Lehigh (C.J. McCollum), Murray State (Isaiah Canaan) and Creighton (Doug McDermott) were all represented"
With this rise of mid-majors comes a greater need for media coverage that is normally kept only to the power six conferences.
Introducing: a new weekly power ranking of the top 10 mid-major programs in the nation!
To qualify, the teams cannot be a member of the power six conferences: the ACC, Big East, Big 10, Big 12, Pac-12 or the SEC.
Power Rankings will be released every Sunday morning and will take wins, losses and the general trending of teams into account.
Without further ado, here is the first set of rankings.
