Don't forget Marvin, the depressed robot from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
I thought it was dumb for you to offer the SAMD21 Dev Breakout DEV-13672 without the sockets/headers included. This board seems like a drop-in replacement for the Arduino Zero (or the .org M0) for users who don't need EDBG. I could see if you included them "in the bag" for customers to solder on but it would be worth a few bucks more for it to come ready-to use.
Just my simple opinion.
Do we have any information on its WiFi capabilities? Is it just IPV4 or do they also support IPV6? How about the antennae - range and coverage, and will it support an external Yagi or monopole?
I don't know if it is legal to sell arduino.org boards in the USA but they can certainly be bought through sellers on Amazon.com – and who knows what you get on ebay.
I don't see the UNO WiFi listed yet as a SparkFun product. What WiFi chipset is used and is this board manufactured by SparkFun or by Arduino.cc or by Arduino.org?
One thing you need to mention is whether or not a unit is LEGAL. The FCC sets limits for spurious signal generation, and one would expect that a unit with the FCC logo would not interfere with other services such as Amateur Radio. But it's much cheaper to print the FCC logo than it is to engineer and build a legal gizmo, so many of the shady outfits in China just print the logo, they are not LEGAL and they pollute the airwaves.
This is not limited to switching power supplies, grow-lights from Home Depot are notorious offenders, and some of the cheap LED solutions are also bad actors. The FCC does not seem to anymore have the resources to patrol against the bad actors, but they do respond to complaints. This doesn't work very well against some shady outfits as they operate under many company names and addresses.
Pete Pan launches himself to Neverland.
I like the connectors you have chosen for power and micro USB. Good added value! This is an affordable alternative to the Zero for folks who don't need EDBG support.
I don't like the fact that you made the board without the headers. Is there a chance that you can offer the full version as another SKU?
That's nice, but why not get rid of the Setup/Loop paradigm altogether?
Empty your .ino file and add a .cpp file to your project that has the main() program, this file must have a different name than your .ino file. Four caveats: (1) Your .cpp file(s) must (each) #include <Arduino.h> (2) To use the Arduino timer libraries you must call init() first thing in main(). (3) Your .ino file must have the includes for all the Arduino libraries you are using, otherwise they won't be brought in, e.g., #include <SPI.h> and nothing else, no setup() or loop() (4) To use C++ in all its glory you will need .h files to declare all your classes and functions, and .cpp files for the implementations. This means 2 or 3 times the lines of code over the simplistic Arduino approach, but your executable image size won't increase.
The Classical Arduino Programming model is based on polling. Also, it dumbs down the c language (e.g. no need to declare forward references, no need to define types or fiddle with makefiles, etc.) in order to make it easier to learn and focus on problem-solving. Then, through the magic of open source, the student is able to read all of the library code and move to a higher level. Along the way we are exposed to the magic of c++ classes.
Another approach to the problem of riding a bike and chewing gum at the same time is the Scheduler Library. This takes more memory, but as we move into the SAM chips we have more memory.
We could also look at the Arduino IDE as an easy step into the more professional Atmel Studio IDE. The programming model there is somewhat different, with more emphasis on interrupts and semaphores, and with many more options than the beginner needs.
There is more than one way to skin an elephant.
No public wish lists :(

Mexico is a very large vacationer's paradise that features many places to consume the sights and many activities to take part in. Mexico's beaches are among some of the very beautiful on the planet since the countries coastlines straddle the Pacific Ocean, the Gulf of Mexico, and the Caribbean Sea. Mexico's richness also contains historical cities with an all around tropical landscape designed for relaxation. Though the majority of the tourist destinations are beach resorts, there are numerous archeological sites that draw many visitors yearly; alongside beautiful jungles and ecological parks. One of the water sport activities available one can go snorkeling, scuba, surfing, whale watching, and a number of other interesting activities. With this kind of paradise you can find bound to be some negative aspects, but it is in this way round the globe. So below are a few travel tips and guidelines designed to be of good use to the travel novice.
1. Crime – A principle before planing a trip to any country should be considered a quick check of the crime rate. Mexico is a major drug transit point between Latin America and the United States; and this role has drastically increased the crime rate in Mexico. Some what to be cautious about as a tourist are armed robberies, purse snatching, pick pocketing, taxi robberies, kidnappings, and extortions. It is known that the crime rate is lower generally in most tourist areas. It's advisable not to wear flashy clothes, jewelry, expensive shoes, or carry yourself in anyway that will bring you to the interest of thieves and criminals. It is most beneficial to offer off the impression that you're one of many locals. Also, you need to choose money belt and remember there are pickpockets that target crowded places like markets and all forms of public transportation. If you have to have a taxi, have the people at your hotel call a respected one for you because it is not wise to enter the road and wave one down. It is known that though the crime rate is high Mexico is still certainly one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world.
2. The Water – All of us know it's been overstated that when you visit Mexico, you shouldn't drink the water. Avoid salads and fruits which are not peelable because they certainly were more than likely washed with unpurified water. Beverages with ice included really are a no-no merely to be on the safe side. And yes, teeth brushing also needs to be finished with bottled water. Any water that you're planning to drink throughout your stay should really be bottled water.
3. Archeological Sites – Mexico's rich history has bestowed some archeological gems upon the united states and its inhabitants; among some of the cultures which have left their mark are the Maya, Aztec, Toltec, Olmec, and Zapotec. Among these sites is the famed Mayan city of Chichen Itza having its pyramid; although it is 100 miles from Cancun, you can find tours available. There's also the Mayan beach front city of Tulum with a picturesque oceanfront view; this site is a 2 hour drive from Cancun, with tours readily available. Other sites include El Tajin, Ek Balam, Teotihuacan, and many more which are accessible through tours.
4. Beach Resort Towns – The Mexican beach resort has always been the backbone of the tourist industry in this Latin American country. Let's face it; children love the beach, party goers love the beach party atmosphere, lovers love the evening beach strolls, and everybody has some reason or one other to like the beach. Los Cabos is a beach resort town noted for its beaches which are mingled with grand rock formations on the southern tip of the Mexican peninsula; water sports are almost absolutely essential here. Acapulco is certainly one of Mexico's most famous beach resort towns; if you are seeking fabulous nightlife, Mexican cuisine at almost any time, and to dance and party the night time away, then Acapulco is the place. In Puerto Vallarta one can find white sand beaches blended with traditional Mexico; one can gaze at the architecture of the colonial style buildings or even watch some bullfighting in this beach resort town. Then we've Cancun the Spring Breaker's dream; located at on the Caribbean Sea one can find lovely drinks, some of the greatest beaches and, and party like ambiance. Other nice beach resort towns include Puerto Escondido, Playa Del Carmen, Mazatlan, and a lot of others to mention.
5. Important Information to Know – If you should be having an urgent situation the quantity to call is 060 in Mexico City and its surrounding areas, other places should dial 080 or 066. The legal drinking age in Mexico is 18. It is most beneficial to attempt to agree taxi fares first before embarking on a taxi ride anywhere in Mexico. If you travel off season to Mexico then you will save a fortune on travel costs.
You're now ready to check out Mexico and have a good time. Please be safe in your travels.

What a waste of time and money dr Frank's is so cold and hard to deal with. What she thinks matters and what feel doesn't matter. You sit there and wait to see her over 10 mins then she comes in types on a computer a brief I mean brief exam and then she is done after a few questions. I spent more time waiting to see her then her spending time with me Wow my medical insurance is being ripoff. What a waste of time. Please
Dr Franks helped me with a problem a few years ago that 2 other doctors could not.. She is very warm and caring, and I always have a positive experience when I see her. Her staff is just as attentive and caring as she is. Love her!
Dr. Franks is always attentive and supportive. She listens and is interested in me as a person. She is knowledgeable and thoughtful about my care. I have been with her for many years and strongly recommend her.
Love Dr. Franks! She is very professional and truly cares about her patients. If your looking for a gynecologist I highly recommend you make an appointment with Dr. Theresa Franks.
Wonderful, intelligent doctor
I have been a patient of Dr. Franks for over 19 years and I wouldn't go to any other doctor. She listens to what I have to say and sometimes can relate as a women, mother and working mom. I can be open and up front with her and she is that way with me - she is great doctor and delivered both of my kids.
I have been going to Dr. Franks for about 15 years. She is always personable and courteous. She is thorough and always asks if I have questions. She takes the time to talk to me, and genuinely cares. I will forever be grateful for her support and reassurance when I had a miscarriage years ago. She is awesome!
Great Doctor!! She is easy to talk to and addresses all of my questions. Her bedside manner is wonderful and I would recommend her to anyone I know!
I normally do not write reviews, but I had to write this one. My hysterectomy was scheduled on 5-19-14. A few days prior to my procedure, I went online to review the âPatient Review Commentsâ and saw that Dr Franks had some negative reviews. After reading the negative reviews, I was seriously afraid and considered cancelling my procedure. However, I decided to move forward and based my decision on my experience with Dr Franks and not on reviews. My experience with Dr Franks as a patient, I believe she is an excellent physician. She is detailed, knowledgeable, respectful, patient and professional. She gave great advice and explained everything clearly, there were no surprises. Her staff was outstanding. They ensured everything was addressed, provided a list of To Do Items with address (lab work, pre-admit, disability stuff, day of and after surgery and parking). They walked me through every step, without any time constrains... I would HIGHLY recommend Dr Franks to anyone who's looking for a specialist. Reviews are great, but should not be the determining factor of your decision!
Best doctor ever!!!!!! I do not know what individuals are thinking when they say things like bedside manner lacking etc. (What are you thinking??? Is labor supposed to be easy and a child delivered on a silver platter? Are any female exams/appointments fun and comfortable? Really now...) She delivered my daughter 16 years ago, I have referred her to many who only have positive things to say about her. One person I know personally had Dr. Franks deliver her son even while she was in labor herself, (talk about commitment!) then checked herself into the hospital to deliver her own child. Even when I had no insurance I continued going to her because of how much I trust her with my health and I too am disappointed she does not do deliveries anymore. I was about to make an appointment with her and saw this blog and felt more than compelled to add my two cents. She is amazing and anyone who has her as a doctor is in very good hands!
She t akes short cuts. Rushes through appt., Does not advise properly prior to performing procedures. Extremely short tempered. Dresses very inappropriately - short skirts, low cut tops (??) Constantly and purposely displays a patronizingly superior attitude. Does not listen to your concerns, and is offended if you express an idea that differs from her plans... She states in every other sentence that she "has her methods" and what you think as a patient does not matter! She will âshut you downâ if you disagree with her in the most hunmilliating manner possible!! Uses the statement: "I've been doing this for 18 year..." as a justification for her unwillingness to listen to your concerns as a patient! Worst experience of my life!!!! Yikes!! Beware!
If you need a great doctor in north Orange County, you need to see Dr. Theresa Franks. She's exceptional. But don't take my word for it, make an appo ...
She is efficient and to the point. Really no wait time at her office. However, after over one month, I have yet to receive any result from my papsmear and biopsy. I called twice. The prerecorded message told me wait time was 6 and 7 minutes. I had to hang up after 20 minutes of waiting JUST TO TALK TO SOMEONE. IT WAS SO BAD. DO NOT GO TO HER.
Unfortunately, I went to see Dr Franks based on some positive reviews online. I disagree with these ratings. Her bedside manner is lacking, my questions were dismissed, and I was referred to "check with my insurance." Really, to ask a question? Also, both she and her assistant commented that they wished it were time to leave. So sorry my exam is boring you....I could not wait to get out of there!
Dr. Franks is an awful doctor. She is impatient, rude, unprofessional, and has no compassion. Her bedside manner is dreadful. She doesn't listen and then requests tests that are not necessary that you get stuck paying for and she will not even help you out when it comes to trying to reclassify a billing error that she made. On top of that, the billing department and the medical records department of the Medical Center for Women don't return phone calls, are rude and not helpful. I would not recommend her.
My first pregnancy was smooth sailing - until the end. Everything went wrong, and I was admitted to the E.R. (those doctors tell you nothing!) I had no idea what was wrong with me, and Dr. Franks was not my OBGYN, but she was on call, she made me feel at ease, and took care of both my baby, and me. I was so impressed, I changed to her for my next pregnancy, and was not disappointed! She's the best!
Dr. Franks delivered my son a few years ago, her bedside manner could use work but overall the experience was fine. I was slightly disappointed when I became pregnant again and found out she no longer does deliveries.
Excellent experience, I would highly recommend her to family and friends.
Dr. Franks is an amazing doctor. She delivered all 3 of my children and has performed numerous surgeries on me. She went above and beyond to protect my fetus during a surgery when she wasn't even part of the surgery. Finally, she knows her stuff! All of her diagnosis and treatments are right on. She genuinely cares for her patients and their needs and concerns.
Poor bedside manner. Always seems she is in a bad mood and that you are bothering her.
Worst doctor I have ever had. Terrible bedside manner. Very unfriendly. Never smiles. Does not seem to care at all about her patients, especially if you have a complication. Then she does not want to be bothered!
This doctor was so condescending and rude! I will not be going back to her. I came to her with a problem and she humiliated me. Do not go to her!
Very Poor bedside manner. She is rude to her patients and does not appear to be very caring.
Dr. Franks performed 2 of my c-sections and she sas awesome. I have minimal scarring and it couldn't have been a better experience. She is very hard to get an appointment with though, and once she sees you she sometimes seems a little too busy.

Traffic School
If you receive a moving violation and are cited into the Reno Municipal Court, you may qualify to attend traffic school to avoid having demerit points reported to the Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). However, you do not qualify for traffic school if:
- Your citation involves an accident wherein you were cited for a moving violation;
- Your citation was issued for not yielding right-of-way to a pedestrian;
- Your citation was issued for a cell phone violation (pursuant to NRS 484B.165);
- Your violation could result in FIVE or more demerit points;
- You have had another citation in the past THREE years;
- You were involved in accident wherein you were cited for a moving violation in the past THREE years;
- You have attended traffic safety school within the past THREE years.
Be aware that requesting traffic safety school does not guarantee that it will be granted
To request approval to attend traffic school, you can make your request along with one of the following options:
- Appear on your arraignment date and request traffic safety school from the judge in court;
- Pay your citation in full in person on or before your arraignment date and request traffic safety school from the Reno Municipal Court Clerk's Office;
- Pay your citation in full by mail* and include a written request for traffic safety school;
- Pay your citation in full online or by phone (775-334-3066) and fax* (775-334-3824) a request for traffic school.
* If you are making your request by fax or mail, you will receive a response at the address listed on your citation. If that is not the correct address, please note your updated address on your request

Blacklight Retribution
Currently free on steam. The graphics are pretty nice for a free to play game. It's pretty flashy.
If I were to say one thing about what sets this apart from other shooters is the Hyper-Reality Visor or HRV for short. Basically, everyone has wallhax in this game. You press V and the world turns something like wireframe and enemy locations can be seen. It takes a little while getting used to, but it certainly adds some strategic differences to this game compared to other FPS games.
TotalBiscuit (whose video i have linked below) gives a pretty good overview of the microtransaction model they use so I'll skip that. Each game start, you get points towards "unlocks" for enemies your kill or objectives you clear (ie. return or capture the flag). Using these you can buy different weapons or even a huge mech to pilot around (if you're on the opposing side verse the mech, press V to use HRV and find flashing blue parts on robot. That's weak spot.).
Launch Trailer
TotalBiscuit's WTF IS THIS
Homepage: http://blacklight.perfectworld.com/
Steam: Blacklight: Retribution on Steam
Here's a video of me being horrible at the game!
lolol, i'm a lot more paranoid. i don't wanna go around corners until i've used HRV. i'm also scared to move very far without using it. i kinda practice my memory since i basically use it for a fraction of a second-ish before turning it off. i like... turn it on, spin around quickly, turn it off, and swear cause i forgot. >_>;
I usually just check where they generally are and run around. Hardly ever check corners with it because usually when I do, someone else is rounding the corner and they kill me before I can turn off HRV, lol.
Wouldn't you score more kills if you run around like an idiot cuz everyone is pausing to use the HRV :psyduck:
/never played
That and a lot of people like to use SMGs, which are so OP if they catch you running at them.
There's lots of corners. Also, information is everything. Running around like a crazyman without using HRV can run you straight into some guy who knew you were coming. While there is some delay going in and out of HRV, as long as they aren't already sprinting around the corner, you're usually fine.
Also, you can probably see ALL the cases where my (mis)use of HRV screwed me over. Especially my first death! God, that was a heavy facepalm moment.
And you can't really say hax. Cause... Everyone hax wallhax. :|
Was bored and finding it pretty fun to make videos again, so here's another.
"You are now TEAM WARLORD."
I always wonder if some people make a habit of just going for the team warlords. Makes me even more paranoid whenever I get that. OTL
One more recording from last night since I'll be gone for most of today.
You can witness me being a complete idiot with a shotgun I picked up. LOL.
Ingame UI is pretty clean but lobby/market screens are just complete mess. it's too flashy.
Assault Rifle is versatile, SMG is damn fast.
But Combat Rifle... wtf is this shit.
I got a second loadout when I hit level 5 so it's probably the former.

Alexander Davison allegedly exposes himself to 60-70 women in two weeks
Alexander Davison, twenty, represents a virtual case study of an indecent exposure addict -- and he appears to have gotten hooked fast. He spent around two weeks showing off his junk to an estimated sixty or seventy women on a bike path near his home and then pleasuring himself afterward -- and he admitted to cops that had he not been arrested, he would still be doing it.
According to a Boulder Police report on view below in its entirety, officers received two separate complaints about indecent exposure incidents near a north Boulder bike path. Both victims described the suspect as a white male in his twenties and said he'd approached them with his penis dangling from the open fly of his shorts.
Armed with this information, the BPD set up an undercover operation, with a female officer outfitted as a jogger used as bait and other cops in the vicinity. During the two-day stakeout, they spotted Davison, who lived in a nearby home with his mom and appeared to be peaking through window blinds at those moving past. When he finally ventured out, cops stopped him and asked if he knew why they wanted to speak with him. His response? Because he'd been "exposing himself recently on the bike path," he said.
After his arrest, Davison spilled the beans, as it were. He said he'd recently moved to Boulder from the Miami area, where he said he had a girlfriend with whom he enjoyed a "healthy sexual relationship," and after his arrival, he began experimenting with nudity in his backyard. At first, he would read a book with his shirt off. Then he graduated to draping a towel over his special place. But even after he got comfortable with stripping down entirely, he said he used chairs to block passersby from getting an eyeful.

That changed when he ventured onto the bike path. Initially, the only thing his open fly revealed were boxer shorts. But before long, he ditched the undergarments and began strolling the path with his penis in the wind. He only approached women, and he admitted to feeling aroused by the knowledge that they'd caught sight of Little Alexander. Sometimes he wound up with an erection as a result. But he stressed that he never tried to touch anyone. Instead, he headed home to masturbate.
This hobby was so satisfying that he stepped up its frequency, walking the path as many as five times per day. The estimated total of women he approached: sixty to seventy during the two weeks before the arrest, he said.
And that number would have grown had not fate, and the law, intervened. He told police that because he couldn't stop, he knew something would have to happen to make him do so -- like being busted, for instance.
Davison was arrested on two misdemeanor accounts of indecent exposure, and the Boulder Daily Camera reports that at least one other victim surfaced after his arrest. As for the female officer involved in the undercover operation, the report specifies that Davison didn't masturbate after first seeing her, due to "time constraints." And no, I'm not making that up.
Look below to read the entire report.

siegel0572 replied to DatsyukianDekes6's topic in ConceptsI love all of these, especially the Penguins. I was always fond of the robo penguin logo. The black Sens sweater is also pretty sweet. Looking forward to seeing more.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsThe Blue Jackets are moving to the Eastern Conference next season, where they should have been from the start. I decided to go with a retro look for their move. I've never been a huge fan of their current striping so I went for a classic style. I also brought back their original logo since CBJ is used to describe them by fans and especially social media, the only change I made is replacing the neon with silver on the stick J. And finally, keeping with the retro look, I decided to forgo the shoulder patches. Comments are always appreciated, Thank You.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsThis is my first posting on here in quite a while. My computer died about 1 1/2 yrs ago and I just got it replaced. So this is one of my first concepts in a while. I'm going into this knowing that I'm probably going to get roasted since I have changed a classic uniform. Even though it's a classic and looks nice, I always felt the Leafs unis were pretty boring with just the blue & white. I liked when they had the hints of silver, so that's what I did with mine. Along with the silver, I also altered the striping and brought back the TML shoulder patch, a look of theirs I also liked. I like how these came out and hope you all enjoy them too. Comments and critiques are also welcome.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsBefore I start on my design, a little background. Yes they do have ice hockey in Greece, although they struggle to survive. Unlike most other sports, they do not recieve a lot of support from the government so the team members pretty much run the team activities themselves. They are a member of Division III of the IIHF, and won a silver medal at the 2010 World Championships. In fact, I have a cousin who was looking into going back to Greece to try out. Now onto my design. Like most teams in the IIHF the Greeks have what I feel a boring sweaters, short stipes on the arms and a little striping up the sides. I decided to add a little flair to my look. To me the obvious thing to do was add a part of Greek culture that is every where...the Greek Key pattern. So I turned that into the striping. The main crest is the logo they actually use, that I really like. Also, like all the Greek teams they have a small Greek crest patch on their uniforms so I continued that in my design. The grey I used to break up the monotony to a blue & white color pattern. I hope you like these. I look forward to all comments.
siegel0572 replied to Don_Kay's topic in ConceptsI am liking most of these. The only comment I have is the Galaxy kits. You have the blue & gold on the white set but the dark is black & gold. With that the black/gold looks too much like the Columbus Crew, so maybe the blue for the dark kit.
siegel0572 replied to nash61's topic in ConceptsLooks great. I would like the Caps to use the Weagle more than just a shoulder patch. Maybe thin down your stripes just a little and you could get the space between them and the stars you are looking for. Also, untvar is right the three stars in the middle are spaced closer than the outer ones.
siegel0572 replied to Discrimihater's topic in ConceptsI am liking the Boston set for the most part, but I do have a couple of comments. I like the reference to the Bruins, but I think the B gets lost in the spokes. On the anniversary set, I like the idea but I think it would have to be a pullover jersey because I think a button up would lose the look of the sock as the player moves. The pinstripe set is by far my favorite. I would love to see them bring the stripes back. Can'y wait to see more.
siegel0572 replied to vmd9's topic in ConceptsGreat job so far. I could very easily see these being worn next year when Nike takes over the NFL. I think that Nike has been using the NCAA as a test market with the fans for the Pro Combat line to see if they like it before trying it in the NFL. Can't wait to see more of these.
siegel0572 replied to TheFloridianLogoMan's topic in ConceptsI like how this looks. It would be interesting to see the Marlins match the colors of the Dolphins. I too like how it looks like the marlin is being hit by a pitch. Good work.
siegel0572 replied to siegel0572's topic in ConceptsI know it's not a concept, but with all the designers on here I figured I had a better chance of finding help here than just posting it in the requests forum.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsI am looking for the HTML color codes for pro sports teams. I found one for the NHL but they only have one color listed. Most have a picture of the colors but no codes. I posted this in the requests forum also to try and get all help that I can find. Any help would be appreciated.
siegel0572 replied to siegel0572's topic in ConceptsThanks everyone for the suggestions. So here is an update. I changed the arm stripes from angled to straight, and changed the shoulder patch(which was the one part of the original I was not totally sold on) to a single star. I also changed the road from the logo to USA. I decided to keep the nameplates the same as a tribute to the 1980 team.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsWhen looking at the jerseys I noticed that most countries have a crest or a logo of some type. The one pet peeve I've had about Team USA's look is that they have always had just USA across their chest. So I decided to give them a new look with an actual logo. To me the most obvious choice was the bald eagle and the flag so I ran with it. I also used the Nike template that the IIHF currently uses. C & C are appreciated.
siegel0572 replied to KCScout76's topic in Sports LogosWhat a complete downgrade from what they had. The whole press conference was about excitement and an iconic look, but they erased all of the excitement from their log by removing the black and silver. Now they are left with a boring look that is far from iconic. As far as the uniforms go, I think Stevie Y had flashbacks to his Detroit days, since their new uni's are pretty much blue versions of the Red Wings. IMO this new look is very unimanginative and very disappointing.
siegel0572 posted a topic in ConceptsFor the last few years my home town Cincinnati Cyclones have done throwback nights. One year they brought back the uniforms of the team I grew up watching, the Cincinnati Stingers. I always thought that would have been a cool team to bring back so that's what I decided to do with a new logo and sweaters. I know they lack a lot of the flair of the modern uniforms, but I sometimes think a lot of the extra patches and logos are too much, so I kept my design rather simple. Comments are always welcome.

HILLSBORO -- Century boys basketball coach Scott Kellar knew the Jaguars wouldn't have many chances to score in the paint against a huge Southridge frontcourt.
Thank goodness for the three-point line.
The Jaguars hit 10 three-pointers and were able to sidestep missed foul shots to earn a 53-52 Metro League win over the Skyhawks on Friday at Century High School.
Century had a chance to ice the game at the foul line with 20 seconds left, and it's a good thing they didn't take an 0-fer in six tries. Jacob Bingham, who had a game-high 18 points and five three-pointers, made the front end of a bonus situation and then the Jaguars missed their next five.
"I would have liked to see one of those free throws go down," Century coach Scott Kellar said. "That's our style, though. We keep it interesting."
After Century's fifth consecutive missed foul shot, Southridge trailed 53-50 and Jacob Hintemeyer raced down the floor with six seconds left. Rather than pull up for a game-tying three-pointer, Hintemeyer took the ball hard to the hoop looking to draw a foul. He made a tough bucket against Century's Joseph Kellar, but Kellar backed off as Hintemeyer went to the rim. No foul was called, and the horn blew with the Jaguars victorious.
In the middle of the third quarter, Southridge looked like they were going to run away with it. The Skyhawks went up 10 points in what seemed like a blink, fueled by a Michael Seng deep transition three-pointer at the 3:40 mark. The long ball gave Southridge a 36-26 lead, but the Jaguars chipped away at the lead and cut it to 38-37 by the end of the frame. Century's Kyle Chimienti hit a contested, off-balance 12-footer in the lane at the horn to give the Jaguars a lift.
Joseph Kellar hit a big corner three-pointer in the midst of the run the possession prior to Chimienti's bucket.
With the game tied 44-44 in the fourth quarter, Century's Farhad Heidar scored two consecutive buckets inside to give his team a 48-44 lead with 2:36 left.
"That gave us a spark," Coach Kellar said. "We hit a couple shots before that, and we got our energy back."
The win moves Century to 9-1 overall and 1-0 in the Metro League. For a team that lacks size, they can make up for it in a hurry with long range shooting, and that's what they showed tonight.
"Bingham is one of the best three-pointer shooters around with his quick release," Kellar said. "It allows us to space out the floor, and usually we are a little more balanced, but we knew we wouldn't get much inside."
For Century, Heidar ended with 10 points off the bench and Joseph Kellar had nine. The Jaguars play at Aloha on Tuesday.
For Southridge, Hintemeyer scored 16 points and Michael Seng chipped in 11. The loss drops the Skyhawks to 4-6 overall and 0-1 in the Metro League, and they will play at Westview on Tuesday.

Tuesday's warnings about more severe weather and the likelihood of tornadoes across much of the nation's midsection proved accurate.
"Tornadoes were reported Tuesday afternoon and evening in north and central Kansas, including near Corning in Nemaha County and Culver in Ottawa County," The Kansas Cit Star writes. "At least one home was destroyed west of Corning and several outbuildings were damaged, but there were no reports of injuries when a twister struck at 4:16 p.m."
The Weather Channel has video of one of Tuesday's big twisters. It adds that tornadoes also touched down Tuesday in Michigan and Pennsylvania.
With the spot-on warnings from yesterday in mind, we note that the National Weather Service has issued some similar alerts for Wednesday:
"Severe weather is possible across much of the Great Plains and portions of the Northeast on Wednesday. Locations of greatest risk are in the central and southern plains where strong tornadoes, large hail and damaging winds are possible. Heavy rainfall may also lead to flash flooding especially across portions of the northern Plains, the Midwest and the Northeast."

Datacentres will need high-density power distribution within five years
Datacentres will need to incorporate high-density power distribution within the next five years.
This Article Covers

Datacentres will need to incorporate high-density power distribution within the next five years.
Analyst Gartner has predicted that by 2015, 50% of datacentres will have a high-density zone, up from fewer than 10% in 2010.
Even datacentres built within the past five years are designed to have a uniform energy distribution of around 2kW to 4kW per rack. With the increasing use of high-density blade systems, This design envelope is no longer sufficient, according to Gartner. It recommends datacentre managers plan for 10kW high-density blade systems.

"High-density zones are by far the best way to manage the differences in the lifecycle changes of datacentres' building structures, electromechanical equipment and IT equipment," says Rakesh Kumar, research vice-president at Gartner. "However, many users remain unsure of the benefits of high-density zones - especially in gaining flexibility in capacity planning - as well as the potential pitfalls.
Kumar says traditional forced-air cooling methods become increasingly ineffective at densities above 15kW per rack. A high-density zone will require supplementary cooling, such as a chilled water system, hot/cold aisle containment or in-row/in-rack cooling.
He says, "One of the most important strategic considerations in designing new datacentres or refurbishing existing ones is balancing the rates of change between the building's system and the IT systems."
Over a 15-year period, a building will remain essentially the same, but the electromechanical systems will typically need one round of modifications, while the IT systems will typically be refreshed two to three times.

While similar in purpose, the American Stock Exchange (AMEX) and the National Association of Securities Dealers Automated Quotations (Nasdaq) are also unique from one another. The AMEX is the third-largest stock exchange by trading volume in the United States. In 2008, AMEX was acquired by NYSE Euronext. The Nasdaq is another American stock exchange, also located in New York City. Nasdaq holds a higher trading volume per day than any other stock exchange in the world. Both the Nasdaq and the AMEX provide a platform for exchange where buyers and sellers meet. However, there are several differences between these two exchanges.
The Nasdaq is significantly larger than the AMEX, as noted previously. Another key difference is the method of exchange: The AMEX is auction-based, which means that the specialists are physically present at the exchange and the buying and selling of stocks is done verbally. The Nasdaq, on the other hand, is a market-maker based exchange and is completely electronic meaning specialists are not required to match trades. The two exchanges also differ in their focus. The AMEX includes innovative trades, boasting the second-largest options trading market and it helped pioneer the inclusion of exchange-traded funds. The Nasdaq focuses primarily on technology deals and corporate exchanges. (To read more about specialists and their role on the AMEX read our related article Electronic Trading: The Role of a Specialists.)

GMP may not be so altruisticSeptember 11,2013Lets not be so fast to anoint Green Mountain Power and its president, Mary Powell, as saviors of Rutland. Remember how bitterly they fought to wriggle out of the 2001 promise to the state to refund $21 million dollars to ratepayers? Yet the Herald somehow overlooked this in praising GMPs record for keeping or exceeding its promises in its Aug. 23 editorial gushing praise over GMPs plans to make Rutland a solar city.
The last I checked, my GMP bill was going up, not down. There is also a two-year rate increase just proposed, which has been submitted to the Public Service Board for review. Only in the world of corporate utility doublespeak could this rate increase be defended as a cost savings to our consumers, as Ms. Powell and other GMP spokesmen have brazenly boasted.
At the next GMP press conference, somebody from the press ought to ask Ms. Powell her annual salary plus benefits, as well as the value of her GMP stock options. This would certainly be of interest to our low-income neighbors who have trouble paying their electric bills.
While GMP seems to be doing some nice things for Rutland, it must not be forgotten that corporations, particularly utilities, act primarily for the benefit of its shareholders, and then the general public. A community should rely on its leaders, its people and its resources to build up its psyche, as the Herald put it, and not instead rely upon some private corporation whose existence is based upon the proverbial bottom line.

AAPL should convert their off shore funds to gold and we could become a gold fund
Or Apple should just get smart and hire an International Broker to buyback 40 billion in stock with overseas cash....and avoid the 35% USA Stupid Tax. Sounds Like a Better deal to me
Gold is just a metal that generates no interest income, nothing. Apple's cash should be saved and spent on foreign suppliers and reinvested in opening new Apple stores, hiring European software developers who'll be out of a job soon, paying off the Russian and Chinese government, and stashed in a safe place.
Sentiment: Buy
Right , rather than stock div's they can mail us chunks of gold every quarter .

The Interactive Information Bar (iib) is a unified API for adding interactive elements to a pages. The iib modules implements a page level and entity level 'bars'.
The goal of iib is to have a single unified place to add administrative interactive tasks.
Tasks can be added to the bars using 2 methods.
- Using a hook (hook_iib_page_item or hook_iib_entity_item)
- Setting a page level item iib_set_item()
- See the API for more information.
Example Usecase
- The SPS module is using the iib to place the condition widgets.
- The State Machine module will place information about the page/entity in IIB along with transition elements.
Please note that this is an early beta. The functionality works but the API might change slightly. We will also be added more styling to the bar.

LeadingAge will not be joining the American Health Care Association's lawsuit challenging the government's ban on pre-dispute arbitration, the group said in a statement issued Tuesday.
A Texas-based skilled nursing chain has agreed to pay $5.3 million to settle claims that it provided substandard and "worthless" services at some of its facilities, federal officials announced Monday.
The rehospitalization rate measure recently added to Nursing Home Compare provides valid predictions of which skilled nursing facilities are likely to have residents readmitted to the hospital, according to a study published Friday.

The group, who headlined at Summerfest last year and the Wisconsin State Fair the summer before that, are on the road this summer as part of their Summer Break Tour; some dates on the tour also include Nickelodeon popster Victoria Justice, but she's not part of the Riverside gig. »Read Full Article(2)

Lou Reed dies at 71, was lead singer of Velvet Underground
New York — Lou Reed, the great punk poet of rock 'n' roll who profoundly influenced generations of musicians as leader of the Velvet Underground and remained a vital solo performer for decades after, died Sunday. He was 71.
Reed died in Southampton, N.Y., of an ailment related to his recent liver transplant, according to his literary agent, Andrew Wylie, who added that Reed had been in frail health for months. Reed shared a home in Southampton with his wife and fellow musician, Laurie Anderson, whom he married in 2008. »Read Full Article(20)

Chris Tomlin shows his passion for Christian music
Chris Tomlin did the old "how many first timers? how many veterans?" audience poll at the start of his Milwaukee Theatre show Saturday night. Not surprisingly, the majority of cheers in the largely full theater were from the newbies. Tomlin's "Burning Lights," released in January, was just the fourth contemporary Christian music album ever to top the Billboard charts.
What's interesting is that, unlike fellow chart-topping Christian artist TobyMac, Tomlin went No. 1 while being far more explicit about God. Saturday's concert was even halted for a 40-minute sermon by Tomlin's pastor (and the head of his record label) Louie Giglio. »Read Full Article(4)

Chronic Disease Battle Requires Better Tools
The lab results didn't look good. My 57-year-old patient's blood sugar was high. He was obese and already on cholesterol medication.
My diagnosis was metabolic syndrome, an assortment of risk factors that is often a precursor to heart disease and diabetes.
His was the third case I'd come across that week.
Readers, to what extent is it up to doctors to monitor patients' behavioral habits? Patients should be more responsible for their own health, sure, but how can this be encouraged? Join the discussion.
The chronic disease epidemic is upon us. Patients with health problems are younger and fatter. I had to buy a heavy-duty scale last year to replace the one I started in practice with a decade ago. I have more obese patients now and needed something accurate up to 400 lbs.
When I was growing up, nearly half the kids in this country walked or rode their bikes to school. By the early part of this decade, the figure had dropped to about 15%. Meanwhile, the proportion of kids who are seriously overweight has climbed, with 16% of kids in the 95th percentile or higher on a measure of body mass, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
Certainly there is more we can do to help ourselves. We can be active with our kids. We can exercise more and eat less.
The biggest challenge in primary-care medicine is dealing with the complications of obesity, diabetes and hypertension.
We have drugs to treat the conditions. But we don't have potent enough public health measures, patient education and follow-up monitoring to avoid the heart attacks, strokes and chronic kidney problems that come with the modern disease territory.
At my office we use a disease registry to track our patients with diabetes, heart disease and high blood pressure. We use it to generate recall lists of people who are overdue for follow-up visits or lab tests. Most veterinary offices do that routinely, but not enough medical offices.
In an insurance-driven world where a high volume of office visits is the only practical way to earn a living, managing patients with multiple chronic diseases is a money loser. Seeing four patients over the course of an hour pays much better than helping a patient with complex problems for a full 60 minutes.
My office has invested heavily in an electronic medical record to track and monitor chronic conditions with little financial return.
Still, the system helped me notice that a patient's control of his diabetes had been slipping for a year. Repeating the mantra of diet and exercise wasn't getting us anywhere. He would promise to do better, yet the results never improved.
Adding more pills over the last year wasn't improving his blood sugar either. It was time for a radical lifestyle adjustment or the start of insulin. He wasn't happy about either option but reluctantly agreed to give insulin a go.
He has been coming into the office about four times a year. And his employer-based insurance was paying for his visits, but missing work to make appointments with me during normal business hours was costing him his attendance bonus and undermining my efforts to get tighter control of his diabetes.
We got around that by using email. He started sending me spreadsheets of his blood sugars every few days, and I gave him advice for adjusting his insulin and diet when he got off track. His blood sugar came down to near normal within two weeks.
Managing chronic diseases between visits is uncompensated work for doctors, yet the need for such care is huge.
The current financial disincentives to providing proper care for chronic disease are daunting, and the waste created by ignoring the problem is growing as the population ages.
Teaching patients to take care of themselves effectively should be paramount because it works. It's also cheap compared with a lifetime of drugs. Self-management makes all the difference in preventing long-term complications or avoiding a disease in the first place.
Most people have some gaps in their knowledge and lack confidence in managing aspect of their own care. Tools to help patients are scattered, incomplete and often lack relevant details.
Online sites, like WebMD and others, help with general information. But they only go so far. I've found patients need specific information tailored to their condition. How much weight should I lose to make a difference in my blood pressure? What exercise makes sense for me? What should my heart rate be? What foods should I buy at the store? How do I prepare those foods in a hurry?
A 15-minute office visit with me isn't enough time to deal with the sheer volume of important information. And in any event, patients don't often remember more than a few key items from any visit.
It's too easy for the doctor to just write a prescription and avoid the tougher work of digging deeper into the reasons why a patient isn't making progress. We need some new approaches to wellness and ways to align the incentives for patients and doctors to work together toward health.
Due to his schedule and the volume of email he receives, Dr. Brewer may not be able to respond to all reader email. He does participate in his forum, where readers are urged to post. His email address is firstname.lastname@example.com.
