Subject: Staff Debate: New Final Four picks
Fascinating that we're at the mid-way point of the NCAA DI lacrosse season already. February is gone, and March has helped sifted some of the pretenders from the contenders, especially at the top of the heap. But there's still plenty of action through April —Strength of Schedule games, RPI, conference matchups, AQ tournaments— to shift the action and give us a few surprises.
As part of our 2010 preseason package, we were asked to pick our Final Four selections. Way back in January, we only had the intelligence of the off-season and our expectations from 2009 to work with. Now, there's a whole half-season to draw upon your prognostication skills.
Which is good, because, if like me you need it. As of right now, of my four picks (Duke, Hofstra, Virginia, Syracuse) I'm liking exactly one (the Cavs) to make it to NCAA Tournament weekend. I'm sure, like me, some adjustments are in order. Or maybe you're bold and will want to stick to your guns.
So, debaters, our question. Now, with what you know through the first half of the season, who are your Final Four picks to make it to Baltimore's M&T Bank Stadium on Memorial Day?

Don't feel bad G Shan. Had I been on the Final Four picks email in February I would've made a couple, let's go with, "interesting" choices (*cough*NavyandNotreDame*cough*).
My Final Four:
*Virginia is in but only if it avoids Princeton in a quarterfinal. The Tigers may be the only team that can make UVa's offense uncomfortable. Esp with Chad Wiedmaier back.
*Gotta love Duke's baseball mentality: February and March are spring training, end of March is when things become serious.
*Maryland upsets Syracuse in a quarterfinal.
*I like Hofstra too, esp because one of the quarterfinals is being played on Long Island.

Countdown to freaking out on Christian calling for a MD upset of Syracuse in the comments in 3....2....1....
(Though I agree that QF matchup – which was laughably overwhelming in the Orange's favor a year ago – is much more of a toss-up this time around if it happens)
Since my dark horse Delaware call seems to have gotten a bit less likely (though they did start pretty strong), I'll audible out my final four to these squads:
Virginia – Questions about the attack have largely been satisfied and they're always tough to stop. BCC matchup against UNC could be the second 'Game of the Year' that the Wahoos play (after the 'Cuse one, of course).
Syracuse – Like Christian, I COULD see them being upset in the right QF settings (EG playing Hofstra at Hofstra or a healthy Princeton team, etc.), but I certainly wouldn't expect it the way that they've been able to reload from major losses. They absolutely dismantled a good Villanova team on Monday afternoon at the Dome, by all accounts.
Maryland – People will say that this team hasn't been able to step up in the clutch and will itself to victory, but those people didn't see the Terps beat Duke in OT at the Face-Off Classic. I think they rebound and make it to Baltimore.
UMass – Yep, another dark horse. I'll be honest, when I watched UMass play Sacred Heart in its first game of the season, I was wildly unimpressed. But, as always seems to happen, Greg Canella has worked a number of new faces into his lineup as contributors and the squad is back to playing the lacrosse we expect out of Amherst. Nobody wants to play a team like this in the playoffs and I could see them making another run.

Subject: Staff Debate: New Final Four picks
Looking back at my preseason picks for the final four, I think I might be alright at this! (although my picks from the past week's games would disagree severely with that statement) I'm sticking with two of my picks:
North Carolina: While I agreed with Terry, who said my picking UNC at the beginning of the season was a bit of a stretch, I now think this is a very realistic possibility assuming Bitter and Delaney get back into the lineup soon. They're one of a few teams that's a complete package – there isn't really anything you can point to that's a liability. They're great defensively and they have a lot of weapons on offense.
Virginia: Also sticking with the Cavs – seeing that they're the No. 1 team in the country, took down Syracuse earlier in the season and dismantled Hopkins this past weekend, I would be foolish not to pick them. After starting 12-0 last season, the Cavs lost three of their last six. The second half of the season, which includes consecutive games against Maryland, North Carolina (at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic on April 10, get your tickets!) and Duke will be very telling for Virginia.
Maryland: I wasn't too high on the Terps in the preseason but after watching them at the Konica Minolta Face-Off Classic in February and seeing them against Towson in the mud bowl a couple weeks ago, I'm sold. Really liking what the offense is putting out there and seeing Grant Catalino make a name for himself in the Player of the Year watch. They're excellent in transition with Brian Farrell providing the spark and they're man-up is one of the best in Division I
Princeton: I've learned a thing or two the hard way about what happens when I pick against Princeton (they win). After tightly contested games against Penn and Yale, I'm interested to see how the Tigers fare against the rest of the Ivy League schedule and the postseason tournament.

I swear I picked Virginia when we did that back in January. But considering I was talking about two goalies who aren't currently starting (Duke's Sean Brady and Hofstra's Andrew Gvozden), that was clearly a loooong time ago.
Virginia/North Carolina: Both are well-poised to make Championship Weekend. Can't wait to watch them play at the Konica Minolta Big City Classic April 10. Both teams seem to be very complete all the way around; if Carolina can beat Maryland without Billy Bitter and Virginia could do what it did with Shamel Bratton limited early on, that says a lot about both teams' offenses. As long as Sean DeLaney is back in the near future, I still like UNC. Curious to see how the seeding will work since both teams are obviously in the South.
Syracuse: SU has to be the third pick. They are also looking like a complete team, with plenty of options offensively and a defense that is playing very well in front of a dominant John Galloway in goal. They're going to be a tough out for any team in the playoffs, especially with Jeremy Thompson so dangerous with his ability to win face-offs and streak to the goal.
Princeton: I'll go with the Tigers for the last spot. Another team that will be able to point to early success while one of their stars was injured (Chad Wiedmaier is back now), the Tigers seem to be a pretty complete team. What could trip them up is face-offs, where they're winning just 49% on the season (and just 44% in their last two one-goal Ivy League wins over Yale and Penn).

I'm actually pretty pleased with my pre-season picks and you better believe I'm sticking with UVA to win the title. I'm also staying with Maryland and Syracuse in the final four, but at this stage, I'll have to trade out Hopkins for UNC.
UVA: I'm keeping UVA because they're the best team in the country and I don't see them slowing down. Steele Stanwick has done an outstanding job quarterbacking a non-stop offense that features a loaded midfield and crafty, young attack. This team is fun to watch and I'm glad they'll be playing late into May. Ken Clausen is the best defenseman in the country and I love hearing people say otherwise.
Syracuse: I'm keeping Cuse in the final four, they are really shaping up as we move into the second half of the season. They have game-breaking talent in the right positions, but most importantly, the Orange know how to win and they know they can win. It's so important to have that swagger in the playoffs; Syracuse, like many other teams, is going to find themselves in tight games throughout the tournament, and that confidence is the difference between piping one into the corner or shooting it right into the goalies stick; Syracuse hits corners.
Maryland: The Maryland transition game continues to impress me. Transition goals are a major X-factor in the emotionally charged environment of the NCAA tournament and I like Maryland's ability to get excited about their own team. Grant Catalino is a ridiculous shooter from the wing and I think he'll seal the deal on at least one more over-time game.
UNC: Well, Hopkins isn't panning out like I expected, so I'll go with another ACC team. UNC is fun to watch, they tout a very strong defense and Billy Bitter gives you a favorable match-up every game. I guess we'll see this weekend if this was a smart switch, but the healthy return of Bitter and Sean Delaney is key to successful post-season. Also, anyone picking up on how clutch Thomas Wood is inside that offense? He's the ultimate complement to that attack and a key piece in their tournament run.

I'm feeling better about Duke, Cuse, UVa, or Cornell than I would've been two weeks ago.
Christian's comment about the Blue Devils busting out of spring training has me feeling good. As for the Big Red, they're 8-1 and I feel like there's danger in overreacting to their 12-4 thumping from Virginia. They're putting up better goal totals than can be expected, and they're clearly getting better as they hit the steep part of their schedule. If they head into the Ivy League tourney 11-3, they're going to the Dance and who knows.
Obviously UNC, Maryland and Princeton have impressed, but I feel good enough about my picks to sit tight.

Record Your Next WebEx Then Share It. Here's How.
A great way to get more from your next meeting is to record it.
By recording you can focus on the interactions and worry less about taking notes. You can also share the recording with those who couldn't make the meeting. You can even intentionally record a session to share publicly on your website or via social media.
Here's what you need to know.
You start with by being a WebEx Meetings host. You can use a free Basic account (you will record using VoIP via your computer) or an account which will give you telephone access.
Schedule a meeting.
Title it accordingly – you will be sharing this recording and the name will stick – so name your meeting in a way that allows the future recording to make sense. If you start an "instant meeting" be sure to rename it before you hit start.
Turn off interruptions.
That includes email, IM, chat and anything else that might pop-up on your desktop while you are recording. Load the files you want to access, turn on "Share Desktop" and make sure everything looks good. If you are using your webcam, turn it on and make any adjustments. Also do a sound check to check recording levels (for both web cams and mics, you'll use your computer controls for adjustments).
Start recording!
When you are done, press stop and then you can end the meeting. Depending on the length and complexity of your recording (how much you shared), it may take awhile for your recording to process and post.
Access your file in your Meeting Spaces.
Return to WebEx Meetings and visit the meeting space for your recorded meeting. The recording will be posted there. You can watch from there or visit your File Library. There you can download the recording or click on the link to get a URL you can share anywhere.

This sounds like an absolutely brilliant idea, although rather simple. I often have 4-5 meetings a week and struggle to keep up with a lot of the topics that crop up. This is my answer!
Lexi Kiser
Converting the recording file to a .wmv also allows for detailed editing with a third party tool.
Thanks for the useful info. It looks like the recording can provide only in .arf file format. Wondering if Webex can provide in other format so let's say we can upload directly to youtube to make the content more viral
Webex has been a pioneer not only in making meetings interactive (video, chat, etc), but also has brought about a sea change in the way trainings can be conducted.

Quote of the day -
"Strangers have the best sweeties" - Lewis Barrow
nice thread
Personally id like to see fedor v overeem and junior, i think he would smash though werdum and submit rodgers just now. Would have been cool if he had went to the ufc but its probably never going to happen
WinstonChurchill, are you that welsh lad who tried out for the Lions Den a few years ago, or someone else?
Either way, no matter how long you have been involved in the sport that doesn't change the fact that Fedor is the consensus number 1 and the UFC should be going after him, not the other way round, if they want to continue to realistically claim that the UFC has all of the best fighters in the world.
Now, if they're not willing to sing a non-exclusive contract, and Fedor's not willing to sign an exclusive one, well that's just a shame. Especially for the fans. But it doesn't mean that Fedor does not want to fight the best, especially since the HW division in the UFC is still quite weak right now (besides Brock).
To say that Fedor should just accept the UFC's contract is just as ridiculous as saying that Brock should intentionally lose his belt in order to get out of his UFC contract so that he can fight Fedor in Strike Force.
Everything is not black and white in this thing, it rarely is in MMA.
"You've got a lot of opinions for someone who's not on there!"
Michael Bisping
"Showed a lot of grit" - Ian Butlin
I think the UFC have went after Fedor as much as they possibly can, obviously I am taking Dana's word for it. But if it really hinged on the co-promotion aspect, then anyone with a bit of business accumen can see that this will never be agreed to by the UFC.
I actually think it is pretty arrogant and cheeky of Fedor's handlers/promoters or whoever is in charge, to ask for such an agreement.

leak down test results
Hello, recently had my 350 sbc rebuilt. Used moly rings. Am using alot of oil, say 1 qt. to 200-250 miles. Have got about 1000 miles on the rebuild now. Today had my mech do a compression and leak down test. Here are the results- cyl. #1 150lbs with 8% leakdown, cyl. #2 155lbs with 7% leakdown, cyl. #3 145lbs with 9%, cyl. #4 with 9%, cyl. #5 150lbs with 11%, cyl. #6 145lbs with 9%, cyl. #7 145lbs with 6%, and cyl. #8 145lbs with 14%. The leakdown is alittle higher in cylinders 5 and 8. Was wondering what is considered good leakdown %'s. My mechanic thinks possibly that since we installed moly rings that it might be possible they still haven't seated?? What do ya think!! Thanks!!
I have said this 1000's times " There are a 1000's ways of rebuilding an engine But only 1 correct way. You sir have created a piece of junk just like the other 1000's. Next time buy a crate engine and be done with it. Only morons rebuild engines these days especially you amerikans Dam you can buy crate engines for less then an old rotten rebuilt one. The only rule that I follow in rebuilding an engine is if you are restoring a rare car car with an original engine. Latter

Who did the rebuild?
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
it has been my experience that molley rings seat faster than cast iron. mine seemed to seat in less than five minutes if even that long.
GOD, please let me reach through my computer screen tonight! Father, even just one hand! Yeah, I know your Commandments, but you have seen the HORROR that we are putting up with! Ok, Ok, if it's patience that I need it's patience I'll pray for, AMEN!!!!!
P.S. I'm a little slow, two posts got in where this was meant to go!
there`s a little test you can do, remove the PCV valve, run without it for a short while and see if the oil usage goes away, my car used a quart a week, I placed a piece of a foam lawn mower air filter in the baffle, oil usage stopped cold.
Doublevision, thanks I'll try that idea. OddRodder, I'm lost with your reply!! The guy that rebuilt the motor is a machanist, dirt tracker that has been doing this kinda work for about 20 years. Rebuilt ALOT of motors!! He's more then willing to tear back into the motor and replace rings or whatever seems to be the problem. Again, what are good leakdown % numbers for a 350 chevy?? The thing runs like a top, just a real thirsty one. Thanks!!
5% is an acceptable figure. 10% is pushin it. I would look at the valves for leakage first before pulling the motor.
She may not look like much, but she's got it where it counts, kid. I've made a lot of special modifications myself.
Han Solo
Along the lines of what 4 Jaw is saying. When you did the leakdown test where did you hear the air escaping from on each cylinder? 3-5% is fairly common with stock type rings, 14% is kinda high. Do you see any oil smoke out the exhaust or is it just kind of disappearing?
BSE Racing Engines
last rebuild I did on my motor before the one now, had plasma moly rings. the guy at my machine shop gave me the wrong gap specs for KB dome hypers. in less than 2 months I had 15% leakdown in 4 cylinders.
Went ahead and ran the smoking beast for 3 more months. When I took the motor apart I had 6 cylinders with the endgaps aligned. and they were gapped to big so it was like sucking oil thru a straw.
Oh I ended up doing the rebuild when I did because the officials at my track checked for oildown after every pass I was making. LOL
Two things come to mind that I haven't seen mentioned yet:
1. Bore finish too rough for the moly rings. This doesn't happem very often any more, but I still see it occaisonally.
2. Second compression ring installed upside-down. This will scrape oil into the cumbustion chamber, rather than down to the oil ring.
Good Luck.
Thanks to everyone that has replyed so far. Man this is really frustrating after all the time and money spent. As for where the air leakage was, I'll have to ask my mech. I wasn't able to be there unfortunately! The car doesn't seem to be smoking, and when the mech pulled the plugs he said they all were alittle gassy. We put new Dart heads on this motor with the 2.02 valves. The machanist pulled the heads all apart and checked them then lapped them in. It's running the 2 valve relief .030 hypereutetic speed pro pistons with speed pro sealed power moly rings. It's running a weiand 8004 intake. I installed the fel pro 1256 intake gasket. So if 5% is good, and 10% pushing it, would two cylinders running 11% and 14% be enough to cause the oil usage I've got?? Thanks again, and keep the replys coming!!
Auto-part it might be a good idea to not say anything at all if you have no valid input
Sorry Tim! My reply was meant for a very ignorant member that should really JUST GO AWAY!!!! His reply to your problem was about the last straw for me. Tom, Chuck, and DV all are dependable members! Again, SORRY
We are all hero's in our own mines. Latter

Multnomah University prepares students for meaningful careers that serve Jesus whether they're called to traditional ministry or the marketplace.
Stay connected to our community and help the next generation of Christian leaders become agents of positive change, whether they're serving across the street or across an ocean.
Mike Richeson, editor of Multnomah's student newspaper, has been awarded the Snowden Endowed Internship, administered by the University of Oregon School of Journalism. Mike, a Senior at Multnomah, is one of 11 journalism students from around the state selected to receive a paid internship at an Oregon newspaper this summer.
Mike submitted writing samples, an essay, and letters of recommendation in his initial application. After making it past the first round of cuts, he was asked to drive down to Eugene for an interview. Only four of the 11 students chosen were not from the University of Oregon.
Ann Staatz, the journalism advisor at Multnomah said she was not surprised when Mike was selected to receive a Snowden Internship. "He is a motivated, self-starter who requires little supervision," she said. "He exhibits a teachable spirit; he values criticism and learns from it."
Mike also won a writing award from the Oregon Newspaper Publisher's collegiate division last spring. At a Poynter Institute National Writer's Workshop, he submitted a story for evaluation. The Oregonian assistant editor who read it arranged for a day-long job shadow for him at The Oregonian.
Mike is currently working on a double major in biblical studies and journalism at Multnomah. He also works part time in Multnomah's communications department as the publications assistant.

"A riveting book."—The Wall Street Journal
"Essential reading."—David Brooks, New York Times
From a former marine and Yale Law School graduate, a powerful account of growing up in a poor Rust Belt town that offers a broader, probing look at the struggles of America's white working class
Hillbilly Elegy is a passionate and personal analysis of a culture in crisis—that of white working-class Americans. The decline of this group, a demographic of our country that has been slowly disintegrating over forty years, has been reported on with growing frequency and alarm, but has never before been written about as searingly from the inside. J. D. Vance tells the true story of what a social, regional, and class decline feels like when you were born with it hung around your neck.
The Vance family story begins hopefully in postwar America. J. D.'s grandparents were "dirt poor and in love," and moved north from Kentucky's Appalachia region to Ohio in the hopes of escaping the dreadful poverty around them. They raised a middle-class family, and eventually their grandchild (the author) would graduate from Yale Law School, a conventional marker of their success in achieving generational upward mobility.
But as the family saga of Hillbilly Elegy plays out, we learn that this is only the short, superficial version. Vance's grandparents, aunt, uncle, sister, and, most of all, his mother, struggled profoundly with the demands of their new middle-class life, and were never able to fully escape the legacy of abuse, alcoholism, poverty, and trauma so characteristic of their part of America. Vance piercingly shows how he himself still carries around the demons of their chaotic family history.
A deeply moving memoir with its share of humor and vividly colorful figures, Hillbilly Elegy is the story of how upward mobility really feels. And it is an urgent and troubling meditation on the loss of the American dream for a large segment of this country.

Jende Jonga, a Cameroonian immigrant living in Harlem, has come to the United States to provide a better life for himself, his wife, Neni, and their six-year-old son. In the fall of 2007, Jende can hardly believe his luck when he lands a job as a chauffeur for Clark Edwards, a senior executive at Lehman Brothers. Clark demands punctuality, discretion, and loyalty—and Jende is eager to please. Clark's wife, Cindy, even offers Neni temporary work at the Edwardses' summer home in the Hamptons. With these opportunities, Jende and Neni can at last gain a foothold in America and imagine a brighter future.
However, the world of great power and privilege conceals troubling secrets, and soon Jende and Neni notice cracks in their employers' façades.
When the financial world is rocked by the collapse of Lehman Brothers, the Jongas are desperate to keep Jende's job—even as their marriage threatens to fall apart. As all four lives are dramatically upended, Jende and Neni are forced to make an impossible choice.

That's the question Greg Heffley is asking as his town voluntarily unplugs and goes electronics-free. But modern life has its conveniences, and Greg isn't cut out for an old-fashioned world.
With tension building inside and outside the Heffley home, will Greg find a way to survive? Or is going "old school" just too hard for a kid like Greg?
Amoral, cunning, ruthless, and instructive, The 48 Laws of Power is the definitive manual for anyone interested in gaining, observing, or defending against ultimate control.
In the book that People magazine proclaimed "beguiling" and "fascinating," Robert Greene and Joost Elffers have distilled three thousand years of the history of power into 48 essential laws by drawing from the philosophies of Machiavelli, Sun Tzu, and Carl Von Clausewitz and also from the lives of figures ranging from Henry Kissinger to P.T. Barnum.
Some laws teach the need for prudence ("Law 1: Never Outshine the Master"), others teach the value of confidence ("Law 28: Enter Action with Boldness"), and many recommend absolute self-preservation ("Law 15: Crush Your Enemy Totally"). Every law, though, has one thing in common: an interest in total domination. In a bold and arresting two-color package, The 48 Laws of Power is ideal whether your aim is conquest, self-defense, or simply to understand the rules of the game.
From the Trade Paperback edition.
With the dead of a bitter Vermont winter closing in, evil is alive and well . . .
Frank Rath thought he was done with murder when he turned in his detective's badge to become a private investigator and raise a daughter alone. Then the police in his remote rural community of Canaan find an '89 Monte Carlo abandoned by the side of the road, and the beautiful teenage girl who owned the car seems to have disappeared without a trace.
Soon Rath's investigation brings him face-to-face with the darkest abominations of the human soul.
With the consequences of his violent and painful past plaguing him, and young women with secrets vanishing one by one, he discovers once again that even in the smallest towns on the map, evil lurks everywhere—and no one is safe.
Morally complex, seething with wickedness and mystery, and rich in gritty atmosphere and electrifying plot turns, The Silent Girls marks the return of critically acclaimed author Eric Rickstad. Readers of Ian Rankin, Jo Nesbø, and Greg Iles will love this book and find themselves breathless at the incendiary, ambitious, and unforgettable story.
With translations in more than thirty languages, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is the definitive relationship guide for women.
Steve Harvey can't count the number of impressive women he's met over the years—the many incredible women who can run a business, have three kids, maintain a household in tiptop shape, and chair a church group all at the same time. So, when it comes to relationships, why can't these same women figure out what makes men commit? According to Steve, it's because they're asking other women for advice when they should be going directly to the source. In this expanded edition, Steve includes an added section of all new advice, with tips on dealing with your partner's exes, spicing up your relationship, ensuring you're ready for that walk down the aisle, and much more.
Sometimes funny, often unflinchingly direct, but always truthful, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a book you must read if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships, intimacy, and love.
The real nightmare starts when her daughter is returned...
A bone-chilling psychological thriller that will suit fans of Gone Girl, by Gillian Flynn, Daughter, by Jane Shemilt, and The Girl on the Train, by Paula Hawkins.
A girl is missing. Five years old, taken from outside her school. She has vanished, traceless.
The police are at a loss; her parents are beyond grief. Their daughter is lost forever, perhaps dead, perhaps enslaved.
But the biggest mystery is yet to come: one week after she was abducted, their daughter is returned.
She has no memory of where she has been. And this, for her mother, is just the beginning of the nightmare.
In a remarkable true story of faith and blessings, a mother tells of her sickly young daughter, how she survived a dangerous accident, her visit to Heaven and the inexplicable disappearance of the symptoms of her chronic disease.
Annabel Beam spent most of her childhood in and out of hospitals with a rare and incurable digestive disorder that prevented her from ever living a normal, healthy life. One sunny day when she was able to go outside and play with her sisters, she fell three stories headfirst inside an old, hollowed-out tree, a fall that may well have caused death or paralysis. Implausibly, she survived without a scratch. While unconscious inside the tree, with rescue workers struggling to get to her, she visited heaven. After being released from the hospital, she defied science and was inexplicably cured of her chronic ailment.
Miracles from Heaven will change how we look at the world around us and reinforce our belief in God and the afterlife.
The Passage meets Ender's Game in an epic new series from award-winning author Rick Yancey.
After the 1st wave, only darkness remains. After the 2nd, only the lucky escape. And after the 3rd, only the unlucky survive. After the 4th wave, only one rule applies: trust no one.
Now, it's the dawn of the 5th wave, and on a lonely stretch of highway, Cassie runs from Them. The beings who only look human, who roam the countryside killing anyone they see. Who have scattered Earth's last survivors. To stay alone is to stay alive, Cassie believes, until she meets Evan Walker. Beguiling and mysterious, Evan Walker may be Cassie's only hope for rescuing her brother--or even saving herself. But Cassie must choose: between trust and despair, between defiance and surrender, between life and death. To give up or to get up.

Lynn Peirce, a fourth-year medical student at South Carolina's Mason-Dixon University, thinks she has her life figured out. But when her otherwise healthy boyfriend, Carl, enters the hospital for routine surgery, her neatly ordered life is thrown into total chaos. Carl fails to return to consciousness after the procedure, and an MRI confirms brain death.
Devastated by Carl's condition, Lynn searches for answers. Convinced there's more to the story than what the authorities are willing to reveal, Lynn uses all her resources at Mason-Dixon—including her initially reluctant lab partner, Michael Pender—to hunt down evidence of medical error or malpractice.
What she uncovers, however, is far more disturbing. Hospitals associated with Middleton Healthcare, including the Mason-Dixon Medical Center, have unnervingly high rates of unexplained anesthetic complications and patients contracting serious and terminal illness in the wake of routine hospital admissions.
When Lynn and Michael begin to receive death threats, they know they're into something bigger than either of them anticipated. They soon enter a desperate race against time for answers before shadowy forces behind Middleton Healthcare and their partner, Sidereal Pharmaceuticals, can put a stop to their efforts once and for all.
From the Hardcover edition.
Conventional accounting uses the logical (albeit, flawed) formula: Sales - Expenses = Profit. The problem is, businesses are run by humans, and humans aren't always logical. Serial entrepreneur Mike Michalowicz has developed a behavioral approach to accounting to flip the formula: Sales - Profit = Expenses. Just as the most effective weight loss strategy is to limit portions by using smaller plates, Michalowicz shows that by taking profit first and apportioning only what remains for expenses, entrepreneurs will transform their businesses from cash-eating monsters to profitable cash cows. Using Michalowicz's Profit First system, readers will learn that:
· Following 4 simple principles can simplify accounting and make it easier to manage a profitable business by looking at bank account balances.
· A small, profitable business can be worth much more than a large business surviving on its top line.
· Businesses that attain early and sustained profitability have a better shot at achieving long-term growth.
With dozens of case studies, practical, step-by-step advice, and his signature sense of humor, Michalowicz has the game-changing roadmap for any entrepreneur to make money they always dreamed of.
For veterinarian Geneva Novak, animals can be easier to understand than people. They're also easier to forgive. But when her mother, Helen, is injured in a vodka-fueled accident, it's up to Geneva to give her the care she needs.
Since her teens, Geneva has kept her self-destructive mother at arm's length. Now, with two slippery teenagers of her own at home, the last thing she wants is to add Helen to the mix. But Geneva's husband convinces her that letting Helen live with them could be her golden chance to repair their relationship.
Geneva isn't expecting her mother to change anytime soon, but she may finally get answers to the questions she's been asking for so long. As the truth about her family unfolds, however, Geneva may find secrets too painful to bear and too terrible to forgive.
The modern fantasy classic that Entertainment Weekly named an "All-Time Greatest Novel" and Newsweek hailed as a "Top 100 Book of All Time." Philip Pullman takes readers to a world where humans have animal familiars and where parallel universes are within reach.
Lyra is rushing to the cold, far North, where witch clans and armored bears rule. North, where the Gobblers take the children they steal--including her friend Roger. North, where her fearsome uncle Asriel is trying to build a bridge to a parallel world.
Can one small girl make a difference in such great and terrible endeavors? This is Lyra: a savage, a schemer, a liar, and as fierce and true a champion as Roger or Asriel could want.
But what Lyra doesn't know is that to help on of them will be to betray the other...
A masterwork of storytelling and suspense, Philip Pullman's award-winning The Golden Compass is the first in the His Dark Materials series, which contintues with The Subtle Knife, and The Amber Spyglass.

The damage may be there but I agree with Nuggets about the physics.
NFS = arcade racing
If you hit a rock at 200 mph I would bet my left nut the car would never move again and I doubt you would either.

post #6 of 39 Old 11-14-2007, 06:49 AM
Yeah I'm going to get it just because. I've had Playstation my whole life but I have the 360 instead of PS3. I've grown up with Gran Turismo, and with no doubt in my mind that is the most realistic and simply best racing game I've ever played. I used to have 3 on PS2 with the wheel and it was a blast. When I see the preview for 4 it gives me chills. Sorry to thread jack a bit, but I really want PS3 just for that game.

the game is pretty bland other than being graphically pretty. If you want a cool game with upgrading cars and a damage model, Go get the Old NFS: Porshe Unleashed. Much better racing game than this crap.
Oh, and GT4 is already out long ago (PS2). The new one is GT5 which is due to have a "prologue" preview release this year (PS3).

For those of you that have played ProStreet already, how is the driving system compared to Forza? I'm thinking about picking it up, but I don't want to waste my time/money on a mediocre game, especially when I'm addicted to COD4 right now and already own forza.

Miguel Adrover Interview: Assembly designer Greg Armas interviews visionary designer Miguel Adrover regarding the politics of aesthetic and celebrity
Posted: Jul 26 2015
In the time when fashion existed/thrived without celebrity, several wildly free, determined and informative designers came into being. Most of the names we know, from Martin Margiela's iconic cryptic empire to Alexander McQueen's nightmarish detailed visions. Now many of these houses are operated by non eponymous designers and the massive popularity of fashion within the last decade has caused many to change, or die.
Miguel Adrover is maybe the most gifted among these designers in terms of output and intuition, perhaps to a fault even at times. For example his Taliban themed show days before the 9/11 attacks (who could have known?!?). Miguel's work at that time caused us to think maybe we did actually know, there was something in the air and he was able to pull it down like a poet and present us with some materilazed truths, albeit probably 10 years before we could even stomach them.
And so it is with 'curse' of the artist; a prophet that no body wants to really hear. The message is too pure, too present for us to conceive of without emotional fog. We resist our teachers and poets and learn, later, to acknowledge their visions.
Miguel has been an extremely influential designer for me and having the opportunity to interview him was an honor personally. we are all human, none of us more or less, but as Miguel would insist, it is our connections, memories and emotions that determine the true world. The following is abridged and lightly translated from a 3 hour interview via the internet. Mr Adrovers biography and details are available here
Is it possible to create without destroying?
Yes it is of course., but you need to recreate yourself to represent some sort of illusion or style or cult on society…Or you need express something new that is really new, that is connected to reality. That is the situation in the industry; so, yes it is possible if you can remove yourself from the mechanics and the money. It is not the right way now, where a designer must sell a certain amount of garments to be considered creative or respectable. There is another way. It's not about how much can you sell but rather how much can you communicate? How much can you express? When you think you can manage between the two ideas of selling and creativity, you are playing the game of capitalism. If one is a free thinker, a free creator, then you have nothing to sell; you don't have a customer at the end of the road. You just do because you feel its necessary to express yourself and to help people go forward.
The industry tends to portray things that are impossible to reach, even though hey have already been created. To me fashion lost a lot of power when it got married to Hollywood
Fear is the essence of impersonality. It is the opposite of creativity and freedom. If you have fear you are concerned more about yourself and not expression. I dropped out of school when I was 13 and for me at that time an artist was someone who had left society. but today being an artist means more like creating a system where you can charge a really high price for your work and then call yourself an artist because of society's approval.
To explain true luxury I have to make the difference first between my personal definition and how it is explained nowadays. Today it (luxury) is something you can see, something you can show off, regardless if you enjoy it, maybe it can bring you up in status or bring a sense of security.. an object you can buy. But, for me, that is the totally the opposite of luxury itself. My idea of a luxury object is personal, private, individual and something specific to me that I don't really share with anybody. It's something that I wake up and watch and feel. It seems now, though, that luxury actually means jealousy.
For me, if I have the hair of somebody I have spent a lot of time with in my life or the hair of a horse I rode near me, it is a luxury. It's supposed to make you feel good. Really anything that is not necessary can be poison
Make yourself an instrument so you can receive the incoming, we don't really have enough time now to consider our personal self, when half the time when you look in the mirror you think about being somebody else famous anyway with all our technologies. It takes time to really think about yourself and be creative. You know its not like Whitney Houston where you can just make every song sound the same. I always tried to go above myself and my expectations.
Creativity is coming from one spot, necessity. The imagination required to make what you don't have available. You can use this to connect people, not separate them

When she arched her back and stuck her stomach out she felt like a tall lady in a crinoline and shawl.
But Maryanne wore her hoops as a duchess wears her crinoline.
crinoline hats, of open pattern, trimmed generally with a flower or feathers, are worn to the opera.
Nor he you in an ordinary silk gown, puffed out with crinoline.
True, and the number of deaths in England caused by the crinoline alone numbers 72.
I saw them to-day, without any crinoline, pulling the garden-roller.
This cage was nicknamed a crinoline (then in fashion with ladies), which, indeed, it somewhat resembled.
The crinoline, like Milton, is an exception to every law of development.
I went out yesterday for an hour, and saw a woman without any crinoline, but with such extraordinary skirts that I was horrified.
The seller of sketches or of crinoline models has given him suggestions.
1830, from French crinoline "hair cloth" (19c.), from Italian crinolino, from crino "horsehair" (from Latin crinis "hair") + lino "flax, thread," from Latin linum (see linen). So called from the warp and woof fibers of the original mixture.

Radware's go-to-market strategy is to grow its application delivery business via OEMs and strategic channels, rather than by selling or licensing its intellectual property. There, the two companies will continue to offer the previously announced ADC service, based on Radware's Alteon® technology offered as part of Juniper's MX-series routers. As a result, in the next quarters to come, new capabilities and business benefits are to be delivered by this joint solution. About Juniper MX-series Routers Integrated ADC Service Radware worked with Juniper to create a scalable ADC software application, based on Radware's Alteon® ADC technology and using the Junos® SDK to fully integrate the ADC with Juniper Networks Junos operating system. The ADC application is implemented on high-performance service cards for the MX Series, enabling Juniper customers to improve their service delivery capabilities while concurrently avoiding the cost and complexity of deploying and maintaining ADC-specific appliances. The ADC and MX Series also share the same configuration and management tools, and the ADC leverages Junos integration with Operational Support Systems (OSS), which further reduces customer costs and risk. The ADC solution is offered on the Juniper Networks MX240, MX480 and MX960 routers. The optionally licensed ADC is Juniper validated, sold and supported, and is easily added to MX Series 3D Universal Edge Routers through a simple software upgrade.

Typically, if you were to look below these city streets, you'd find only dirty subway tunnels and rats, but Deva Spa is a subterranean cave of relaxation. An extension of curly-girl haven Devachan, this spa offers 11 types of facials (ranging from $95 to $225), ten different body massages (from $150 to $225), elaborate manicures (starting at $25) and pedicures (from $50), waxing services, sauna and steam room privileges, and more. While the treatments themselves are heavenly, the waiting rooms, complete with a giant waterfall, comfy seats and fresh fruit, make for a much-needed escape from whatever's happening aboveground. And to ensure a "stress-less experience," the entire spa works under a no-tipping policy, so all you have to worry about is tipping back your glass of lemon-infused water.

Charlotte Wedding In March
"Beautiful venue! Unfortunately, we were a little constrained by the vendors list. We used Something Classic and were so impressed with them that we used them for the flowers too! They did an AMAZING job and the ladies there are wonderful to work with - they really get your vision. Creative Solutions, however, was not so great. They were the only option for rentals, and not only were their options completely limited, but they seem to have employed people who merely want to give you the bare minimum for a generic wedding. If you go with Daniel Stowe, make sure your caterer can also provide rentals, as we used much of the decor, and linens from Something Classic."

- The Vols have won 14 straight season-openers.
- This is the first time the Vols open regular-season play on the road since the 2004-05 opener against Stanford at the Maui Invitational. Tennessee won that clash 69-57 (Nov. 22, 2004).
- The Vols own an 8-15 all-time record in the state of Ohio. Tennessee's last appearance in Ohio came in Dayton at the 2009 NCAA Tournament (first-round loss to Oklahoma State). The Vols' last regular-season appearance in Ohio was a 68-66 loss at fifth-ranked Ohio State on Jan. 13, 2007.
- Dating to last season, the Vols have won four of their last five regular-season true road games.
- Located in Cincinnati, Ohio, Xavier (pronounced: zay-vee-ər) is a co-educational Jesuit, Catholic university. The Musketeers were picked to finish seventh in the new, 10-team Big East.
- The Musketeers opened their regular season with an 83-59 home win over Gardner-Webb Friday.
- Xavier head coach Chris Mack was a two-time team captain as a player at Xavier under then-head coach Pete Gillen. He has coached under Sean Miller and the late Skip Prosser.
- Xavier sophomore Semaj Christon is projected by NBAdraft.net as the No. 11 pick in the 2014 NBA Draft (to the Knicks). He is a preseason first-team All-Big East pick, and he also appears on the Bob Cousy Award watch list.
LAST SEASON vs. XAVIER
- The Vols received major contributions from unlikely sources as Tennessee rallied to knock off Xavier, 51-47, in front of 18,504 fans at Thompson-Boling Arena Dec. 29, 2012.
- Xavier had 19 turnovers, the most Tennessee has forced under head coach Cuonzo Martin.
- In his college debut, Derek Reese made a major impact with seven points, including the go-ahead basket midway through the second half to give the Vols a lead they would never relinquish.
- The Tennessee bench outscored Xavier's 21-9. The Vols limited the Musketeers to 32.7 shooting from the floor, including just one 3-pointer.
- The Vols' scoring was led by Josh Richardson, who had a then-career-high-tying 12 points. Jordan McRae added eight points.
- The Vols held Xavier scoreless for 6:01 in the second half.
- After redshirting all of last season due to a knee injury, All-SEC forward Jeronne Maymon returns to action this season.
- Tennessee's team MVP in 2011-12, Maymon led the Vols in scoring (14.2 ppg) and rebounding (7.9 rpg) in SEC play as a junior.
- He scored at least 12 points in every SEC game and also led the league in free-throw attempts during the regular season (184).
- Maymon's absence last season allowed teams to double-team power forward Jarnell Stokes.
- Give Tennessee a 15-game win streak in season-opening games.
- Give the Vols a 27-21 all-time record against current members of the Big East Conference.
- Give Cuonzo Martin an 8-4 head coaching record against current members of the Big East Conference, including wins in eight of his last nine tries.

Of course, I was nervous before the procedure but the staff and the doctor put me at ease and the medication I received before the surgery made me sleep.
I only remember the beginning of the procedure, after that it seemed I would go in and out of a dream and then they woke me up and said it was over. That is exactly what I wanted to happen as I didn't want to be awake for any of it.

Fuel rise just the start - you could put your house on it
The Sun-Herald
Page Tools
We all know that recent rises in world oil prices are hurting the hip pocket at the bowser.
But it doesn't stop there - many ordinary household items contain petroleum-based products, so it is only a matter of time before we are also forking out more for them, too.
Nappies, fridges, shoes, toys, computers, cars and everyday food items are set to become dearer as the cost of oil-based raw materials increases, and transport and distribution soar.
Britain's Oil Depletion Analysis Centre says oil not only fuels 95 per cent of land, sea and air transport, and 40 per cent of the world's commercial energy, it is heavily relied on for food production - to run farm machinery and make fertilisers and pesticides.
It also supplies feedstock for thousands of manufactured products, including plastics, clothing, medicines and building materials.
"We rely very heavily on oil-based materials for our everyday life," said David Solomon of the department of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Melbourne.
"Everywhere you look there are plastics, and nearly all plastics come from oil.
"Most polymers, or plastics, we use are derived from oil - toys, shoes, some clothing, the paint we use on our houses, the bumper bars on our cars, floor coverings, most of the plastic containers we use for food and drinks, the garden hose, the benchtop, the computer, the detergents we use, food packaging, the PVC pipes in our plumbing, bike helmets, I could go on and on."
Most companies have absorbed the increasing costs of petroleum-based raw materials, as well as the added energy and distribution costs, but many are saying these must be passed on to consumers.
Ross Hearne, general manager, corporate services, for Kimberly-Clark Australia - maker of nappies, sanitary products, tissues, toilet paper and other household items - said price rises were inevitable.
"Because we use polypropylene polymers, which are oil-based, we've been hit by higher raw material prices, coupled with increased transportation and delivery costs, driven by the increased fuel prices," he said.
"It's a competitive market and we've largely absorbed those costs to date . . . but if oil prices keep rising [they] will have to be passed on to consumers eventually."
Toy-maker Mattel's marketing director Julie Kearns said it was just a matter of time before the company lifted the price of toys, many of which are made from petroleum-based plastics.
"Like most companies, we are very aware of the impact higher oil prices might have and, unfortunately, they do invariably get passed on to consumers in the form of price rises," she said.
Most of Mattel's products are made in China and Indonesia and distributed globally, so the company is also being hit by costlier distribution.
- FRIDGE: More than 75 per cent made from materials derived from petrol, including exterior coating and most of the interior including plastic trays and containers, insulation and the coating on shelves.
- TRICYCLE, PLASTIC TOYS: Almost 100 per cent derived from oil, as items are made from petrochemical-derived plastic.
- COMPUTER: More than 30 per cent derived from petrol.
- DETERGENT: Almost 100 per cent derived from oil-based feedstock. The detergent itself has come from petrochemicals and the container is made from petroleum-based plastic.
- ASPIRIN: Almost 100 per cent. The material used to make aspirin is derived from petroleum, as is its plastic packaging.
- OUTDOOR CHAIRS: 100 per cent made from moulded petrol-based plastic.
- CAR: Less than 25 per cent. The bumper bar, dashboard, other plastic interior components, seat coverings, floor mats, spark plug leads, fanbelts and tyres are all made from petrochemicals in the form of plastics or synthetics.
- TOOTHBRUSH: Almost 100 per cent, including the brush itself, made from oil-based plastic, and the synthetic bristles.
- SHOES: Almost 50 per cent. The soles are made from synthetic rubber, derived from petrol.
*Figures are based on advice from Professor David Solomon, from the department of chemical and biomolecular engineering at the University of Melbourne. Professor Solomon is a leading polymer chemist and co-invented the plastic banknote.
