The Bulldogs open the road trip this Friday (Oct. 19) against Michigan Tech at 5 p.m. (EDT) in Houghton, Mich. Ferris then ventures to Marquette, Mich., this Saturday (Oct. 20) to face Northern Michigan in a 4 p.m. (EDT) encounter. FSU concludes the weekendĺs action on Sunday (Oct. 21) versus Lake Superior State for a 1 p.m. (EDT) tilt in Sault Ste. Marie, Mich.
Last Time Out: Ferris State won both of its conference matches last week (Oct. 12-13) at FSUĺs Ewigleben Sports Arena in Big Rapids, Mich. The Bulldogs rallied from a two-game deficit to register a 3-2 come-from-behind upset win over nationally 10th-ranked Hillsdale last Friday (Oct. 12) evening and then won their fourth consecutive match with a 3-0 victory against Wayne State last Saturday (Oct. 13) afternoon.
Last Season: Ferris State advanced to the NCAA Division II National Tournament for the 14th time in school history in the 2006 campaign after previously claiming its ninth Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) Championship in 2004 by winning the leagueĺs annual postseason tournament for the first time ever. FSU registered a 21-9 overall record a season ago and finished second place in the GLIACĺs North Division with a 12-6 mark. Ferris, which compiled the program's ninth consecutive winning campaign in 2006, also made its ninth-straight conference tourney appearance a year ago.
The 35th Season: The 2007 campaign represents Ferris Stateĺs 35th season of womenĺs volleyball. The Bulldogs boast an all-time 751-423 (.639) record to date. Since the programĺs inception in 1972, the Bulldogs have won nine GLIAC titles, made 14 NCAA-II Tournament appearances and registered 27 winning seasons.
2007 GLIAC Preseason Poll: For the second consecutive season, FSU was selected to place third in the 2007 GLIAC Volleyball Coaches Preseason North Division Poll as released by the league office. The Bulldogs totaled 24 points in the balloting, which was conducted by the conferenceĺs head coaches. The Bulldogs accumulated a third-place 26 points total in last seasonĺs conference preseason poll and were tabbed fourth in the 2005 poll with 26 points. Defending NCAA Division II National Champion Grand Valley State was voted as the favorite to repeat as regular-season divisional champions for the third consecutive year as the Lakers garnered 36 points along with six of the seven first-place votes. Michigan Tech was chosen second with 29 points and one first-place vote while Northern Michigan was tabbed fifth (17 points) and Lake Superior State was selected to place sixth (16 points) of the seven GLIAC North Division teams.
Ferris State's Head Coach: Tia Brandel-Wilhelm - (Alma, 1990), 12th season, 249-122 (.671); Career: 15th season, 367-142 (.721). Brandel-Wilhelm entered the 2007 campaign ranked 19th in career best winning percentage among the NCAA Division II active coaches while her 351 career victories prior to 2007 was 22nd highest on the Division II active coaches wins list. The 2002 GLIAC Coach of the Year guided the Bulldogs to NCAA-II Tournament appearances in 1999, 2002, 2004 and 2005. She registered her 200th win at Ferris State last season (Sept. 10) with a non-conference decision over Edinboro (Pa.) at the Findlay (Ohio) TownPlace Suites Classic.

Bulldog Bites: Sophomore middle hitter Kristy Gilchrist (Macomb/Anchor Bay) has presently compiled a team-high 43 service aces in 23 matches this season which is 23 more than she recorded last season at this time. Gilchrist is seven aces away from moving into a 30th place tie with Kathy OĺConnor (1992; 47 aces) among the programĺs all-time single-season leaders . . . Ferris has recorded more kills than its opponent in 20 of the teamĺs 23 matches this fall, which includes the last eight to date. The Bulldogs are averaging 15.6 kills per game to the oppositionĺs 11.3 average during the eight-match span . . . FSUĺs 79 kills against Hillsdale last Friday (10/12) not only represented a team season best, but is the seventh-highest match total in the programĺs all-time annals. The 79 kills surpassed the 77 total against North Alabama (9/5/03) . . . Junior outside-middle hitter Emily Nemmers' (Caledonia/East Kentwood) 17 digs versus Hillsdale (10/12) represented a career single-match high, eclipsing her 14 digs at Saginaw Valley State (9/22). Prior to this year, Nemmersĺ previous match best was six versus Augustana, S.D. (8/26) at the 2006 Ferris State Invitational . . . Lindsay Tyeĺs team-high 379 kills in 23 outings this season marks a career single-season high, surpassing her 355 kills in 30 matches last fall. Tyeĺs 379 kills this year presently ranks 30th on FSUĺs all-time single-season leaders chart and sheĺs three away from tying Milli Holley (1984; 382 kills) for 29th place.
GLIAC Honoree: Kristy Gilchrist was named this weekĺs (10/15) GLIAC North Division Player of the Week in an announcement made by the conference office. Gilchrist led the Bulldogs with six service aces and 12 blocks (all block assists) in the two matches while averaging a team-best 4.50 points per game. She produced 15 kills and a team-best 11 block assists as Ferris recorded a 3-2 come-from-behind win over nationally-ranked Hillsdale (10/12). Gilchrist tallied a team second-best tying nine kills and hit .375 to go with a match-high five aces in a 3-0 triumph over Wayne State (10/13). The middle hitter averaged 3.00 kills and 1.50 blocks per game with a .232 attack percentage.
The Streak Continues: Jamie Palazzolo's double-digit digs match streak has reached 21 to date after she dug 24 attempts against Hillsdale (10/12) and a team-high 15 versus Wayne State (10/13). Palazzolo, who has racked up a team-leading 420 digs in 23 matches this year, is 29 shy of matching her career single-season high 449 digs in 30 matches a season ago. Her 420 digs currently ranks 17th on the all-time single-season bests list and sheĺs five shy of tying Sheri (Maus) Harris (1996; 425) for 16th place.
Approaching A Milestone: Kristy Gilchrist needs 16 more kills to notch her 500th career kill. She presently has accumulated a career single-season best 484 career kills in 53 matches while also generating 15 double-figure kill matches this season to date.
What A Win!: Ferris State rallied from a 2-0 deficit to upset nationally 10th-ranked Hillsdale last Friday (10/12) night at FSUĺs Ewigleben Sports Arena in Big Rapids. The GLIAC win was the Bulldogsĺ first over a nationally-ranked for since 2005 when FSU registered a 3-0 league home decision over 18th-ranked Grand Valley State in the regular-season finale (11/4).

When I met Nomad for the first time in Berlin it was one of those unbearably hot summer days. He proposed to go swimming in Wedding. "We could do the interview there." he suggested and even though I had trouble keeping track of the sweat that poured from my forehead I wasn't sure if I felt like skinny dipping during our first meet and greet. "I'm not shy!" he said, but I felt that I might be. When he suggested that I could just dangle my feet in the water, I thought that this might be a good idea after all.
Half an hour later I was waiting at the lake in Wedding and didn't quite know what to expect. The internet told me that Nomad went through a lot during his time in Los Angeles and that his three big solo shows were all conceptualized around fractured personalities and emptiness…Pondering the possible dangers Nomad arrived with a friendly smile on top of his Snoopy shirt and a bag full of strawberries…I felt silly.
Curious as I am I started asking away about his adventures in the States and quickly forgot concentrating on my prepared interview questions. Most people like talking about the happiest times of their life, but Nomad is as unconventional as this interview situation was. He didn't seem to mind basking in the difficult memories of his young manhood. He told me about how he went to LA after he finished school, how he traveled around, and slept in his car. He told me how he had no money to buy anything, and how he had to get by on free snacks and booze from art openings. With a gloomy smile we talked about the pros and cons of living in a tree hut, how he went a month without sleep, how he joined and escaped the Hare Krishna's, and how he got lost in the desert on an LSD trip.
Now, Nomad lives in Berlin since about fifteen years and is ever since frantically expressing himself on the streets. Expressing himself so much in fact, that the bulky waste he likes to re-decorate made him the most collected artist in Europe; a fact that used to piss him off, when a gang of personal stalkers followed his every move. His pieces lasted only until the paint was dry enough to carry them home and the absurdity of his anonymous fame hit him double hard.In his work Nomad always tries to comment on what is going on in the surrounding area. His trademark is the long fluid line that constitutes his character Mr. Friendly, but his conceptual pieces on the streets and the bulky waste he wanted to give a last mission prior to their destruction, doesn't work in galleries. What Nomad exhibits in sanctioned spaces he approaches as Art, because he doesn't find street art in the fancy cage of a gallery interesting enough to even think about. He's stubborn when it comes to the commodification of street art, always wandering through the urban playground called Berlin, to fight for his absolute freedom by proudly holding up the flag of vandalism. A freedom fighter in his own right.
Being a successful and internationally accomplished artist, who can call Ashton Kutcher one of his biggest fans, Nomad developed a new gallery concept that hit art enthusiasts like a rage.
It all happened last year, when Nomad and Harlan Levey went to LA together and Nomad -after waking up on a flea infested couch- spontaneously decided to get one of his drawings tattooed on his arm. It might seem a bit nuts,but is something we all get though not many manage to get it across like Nomad.
Early September Nomad presented, at the Nina Sagt Gallery, this moment as a concept where spontaneity and single moments become permanent markings. He invited a tattoo artist, prepared some drawings the guests could choose from and watched how people stood in line to get a simple piece of art marked on their bodies.
For 2011 Nomad wants to organize another event based on this concept in New York. Only this time the tattoo options will be created spontaneously during the event. this moment as a concept where spontaneity and single moments become permanent markings. We cannot go back. So we must keep pushing forward.
Stay tuned and we'll keep you posted.
We cannot go back. So we must keep pushing forward.

AACN Supports Increases in Funding for Nursing Education Proposed in the President's FY 2003 Budget
Press Release
For Immediate Release
AACN Supports Increases in Funding for Nursing Education
Proposed in the President's FY 2003 Budget
AACN Concerned about the Impact of Proposed Budget Cuts
on Health Professions Programs, SDS, AHRQ
WASHINGTON, DC, February 20, 2002 - Today, the American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) announced its support for the $99 million in funding for nursing programs included in President Bush's FY 2003 proposed budget. The association, however, does call for more federal support to address the nursing shortage and is deeply concerned about cuts in the health professions programs.
"We applaud the President and the Congress as they take their first steps toward addressing our nation's serious shortage of nurses," said AACN President Carolyn A. Williams. "With federal attention focused on the nursing crisis, the time is right for the President to act decisively and work with Congress to enact The Nurse Reinvestment Act."
The FY 2003 budget proposal includes increases in nursing programs administered by the Department of Health and Human Services including an additional $5 million for the Nurse Education Loan Repayment Program (NELRP) and an additional $44 million for the National Health Services Corps (NHSC). The NELRP is a loan program created to recruit and retain registered nurses to work in communities with acute nursing shortages. The NHSC provides scholarships for health care providers who agree to work in underserved rural and urban areas.
Also proposed in the President's budget is a $27.3 billion request for the National Institutes of Health which includes a $10 million increase for the National Institute of Nursing Research (NINR). AACN applauds this increase, but will advocate for an additional $25 million in funding to extend NINR's efforts to provide pre- and post-doctoral research opportunities for nurses.
Though nursing programs received level funding, other health professions programs (Title VII of the Public Health Service Act) were totally eliminated. Health professions programs were funded at $278 million in FY 2002 and slated for a drastic cut to $110 million in FY 2003. AACN is concerned that these cuts will diminish the health care workforce and impact the delivery of care to diverse, uninsured populations.
AACN is also disappointed to see the recommended cuts in the Scholarships for Disadvantaged Students (SDS) program, from $46.2 million in FY 2002 to $10 million in FY 2003, and a $49 million funding decrease for the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ). "Any cuts that negatively impact health care delivery to our nation's neediest people, interferes with access to education, or compromises patient safety should be reassessed," added Dr. Williams.
The American Association of Colleges of Nursing (AACN) is the national voice for university and four-year college education programs in nursing. Representing more than 580 member schools of nursing at public and private institutions nationwide, AACN's educational, research, governmental advocacy, data collection, publications, and other programs work to establish quality standards for bachelor's- and graduate-degree nursing education, assist deans and directors to implement those standards, influence the nursing profession to improve health care, and promote public support of baccalaureate and graduate nursing education, research, and practice. www.aacn.nche.edu.

The incident on Sunday demonstrates a classic propaganda of the deed partnership in which the insurgents with growing skill select a media-significant target and with witless incomprehension international reporters beam the most sensationally damning images of the event around the world so as to deliver the worst possible interpretation. There is no need for a Taliban subtext or even a photo caption, the images speak powerfully for themselves sending messages of a stricken regime put to flight in their gilded uniforms by the daring fighters of the Taliban.
Lesson Learned: I don't know as much as I think I do. No matter how much information I have the vast bulk of it, the hidden silent evidence, remains below the surface. From this morass of unseen circumstance can spring forth all manner of unanticipated surprises.
Map Maker is an Android application for creating maps in a disaster zone. It is designed to allow aid workers to quickly and easily create a map of the area they are working in. After a disaster such as a hurricane or earthquake the landscape can change so fundamentally that existing maps are rendered out of date. Knowing things like which roads are passable, where field hospitals are and suitable aircraft landing areas makes it far easier to manage an emergency.
The chart above was generated when I compared relative interest in Darfur, Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Congo, with Sweden as a control.
The results were pretty interesting. Searches for Iraq seem to correspond with increases in media coverage. No surprises there. The big surprise for me was Sweden. Google user are more interested in Sweden than they are in Darfur, Afghanistan, and the Congo. Talk about forgotten conflicts!
Flag B is interesting. It marks George Bush's call for more NATO troops in Afghanistan and clearly shows an increase in media coverage of Afghanistan. It even overtook coverage of Iraq for a short while. However, the general public took no notice.
The regions chart is enlightening. Americans are predominantly interested in Iraq and seem to have forgotten about Afghanistan. The Canadians, who have troops in Afghanistan but not Iraq seem equally interested in both countries. And finally, the Swedes seem to be totally obsessed with Sweden.
Not without trepidation replaced Sweden with "beer" in my search terms. I shouldn't have. I now know that your average computer using westerner is more interested in beer than they are in Iraq and Afghanistan combined. "Darfur?... never heard of it... do they have good beer?"
If you are feeling particularly masochistic try breakfast or worse boobs. For a brief while in 2004 your average Google user was more interested in what was happening in Iraq than what they were going to have for breakfast. That aberration hasn't repeated itself since. Its also interesting to note that while American's seem equally fascinated by Iraq and breasts, Canadians have a distinct preference for the later.

NHL: PENGUINS 2, FLAMES 1 -- Penguins bounce back, cap trip on positive note
Less than 24 hours after a crushing overtime loss in Edmonton on Friday, the Pittsburgh Penguins rebounded to beat Calgary, 2-1, on Saturday and avoid their first losing streak since November.
Chris Kunitz and Matt Niskanen scored, and Marc-Andre Fleury made 27 saves as the Penguins handed the Flames a team-record sixth consecutive regulation loss on home ice.
It looked for the longest time as if Fleury was going to become the sixth goaltender in the past eight games to shut out the Flames before Mikael Backlund cut into a 2-0 deficit with a goal at 11:29 of the third period.
Ending a goalless stretch on home ice at a team record 196 minutes, 59 seconds, Backlund outbattled Kris Letang for the puck and scored on a slap shot from 40 feet.
The Penguins earned five of six points on their three-game road trip through Western Canada. They begin a three-game homestand Wednesday against Washington.


text: Doctor Who - Sean Pertwee: My Dad Jon was "very fond" of Peter Capaldi The actor son of third Doctor Jon Pertwee also says that he thinks the new Doctor will be "stupendous" ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW By Stephen Kelly Monday 31 March 2014 at 11:45AM From promo photos to their costumes, eagle-eyed fans have long been noticing certain similarities between new Doctor Peter Capaldi and the third incarnation of the Time Lord, Jon Pertwee. Well now his son, actor Sean Pertwee, has revealed that the two were friends. Pertwee, who plays villain Sarazin in BBC1's The Musketeers alongside Capaldi as Cardinal Richelieu, has been talking about his love of the actor and how close he is to his family. "My father was very fond of Peter and Peter is an extremely lovely gentleman," he told PA. "He was very kind to my family when my father passed away, he was big fan of my dad's actually. So personally the Pertwee household were absolutely delighted when he got the role of The Doctor." He also gave his thoughts on how the 55 year-old Capaldi will fare after the fresh-faced tenure of Matt Smith. "I think he's going to bring some real gravitas and weight, which only comes with age. Taking nothing away from Matt (Smith), who I thought was great, I just think he's going to stupendous. He's going to have a completely different look. "He's such a phenomenal actor anyway I think he'll be absolutely brilliant. I'm delighted he's doing it." The Musketeers series one concluded last night. It is set to return in 2015. continue reading

I gave NFC a fair shot when I had a Galaxy Nexus. It was pretty cool to use. I definitely felt dorky using it and it's not as elegant a solution because you will still need to use physical cards at some retailers.
Here's what I did. I used the Google Wallet app to register some credit cards with the app. The app itself is linked to the NFC functionality of the phone. When I would pay at Whole Foods for example, I'd have to whip out the phone, wait for it to get to the point where I could tap the reader, and then pay. What makes it awkward is that it's slower to do that than just pay with cash or a credit card.
If they could reduce the time-to-payment from the time I take out my phone to the time I place my phone on the NFC sensor that would make it a lot more appealing. You can basically use the Nexus' NFC with any of those terminals that take SpeedPay or similar payments (like the ones I use with my Amex Blue cards).

Hey there. I'm trying to buy myself a little Christmas present so I thought I'd hit up my Envato account.
I entered the request yesterday but just noticed today that the money isn't scheduled to be transferred until Jan 15, 2010.
Is this normal? Should I just be taking out 500.00 or more through international money transfer to get the cash earlier?
I'm in the U.S. if it matters.
That's right. Once you request a withdrawal, the money is scheduled for the 15th of the following month.
I've just found this out – was expecting my first payment in time for Christmas having requested it earlier in December.
Hey, guys. This system was implemented because it would be far too time consuming to process so many transactions every day. Additionally, with this method, we add another layer of security.
Okay, thanks.

4 Steps: Pour The Perfect Schooner
In an effort to bring the principles of presentation to our readers, we present four steps to help you pour the perfect beer, which are useful whether you're with friends, at a party or playing host.
step 1
Hold the glass at a 45-degree angle
The perfect beer always starts with a clean schooner glass, which means no spots. If the glass has a beer label on it, hold the glass so that the label faces up.
Your angle of attack has a measurable effect on the beer's final appearance and presentation. To begin pouring the perfect beer, you will tilt the glass at a 45-degree angle (if measured from the floor) under the spout. Doing so helps determine how much of a head you'll be leaving at the top. If you bring the glass closer to becoming parallel with the floor, you lower the angle of attack and diminish the head. Going in the other direction and raising it will leave you with a bigger head and less beer.
You can rest the inside of the glass lightly against the spout, but as the beer starts to flow, don't allow the beer to catch up to the spout.
step 2
Fill to less than an inch below the lip
First off, don't jam the server (the beer tap) down — this isn't a slot machine. Rather, pull on it with a somewhat gentle use of force. Keep the glass at the 45-degree angle, and as it schooner glass fills, lower the glass as necessary to keep the spout out.
You should tap until the schooner glass is almost full; ideally you will stop when there's about three quarters of an inch between the beer and the rim of the glass.
We have two more steps to help you pour the perfect beer…

At the base of my tongue in the back of my mouth, I have a lump that is the size of a penny. It is a yellowish-brownish color. It was discovered by my ear, nose and throat doctor. I was then sent to a specialist who said he couldn't even find what the ENT was talking about. In the meantime it is getting larger. Could this be cancer?
Suspicious lesions or sores in the oral cavity often need to be biopsied in order to be diagnosed. Ulceration, bleeding, pain and growth can all be signs of a more serious condition. If your mass comes and goes, it may be a vascular lesion (a benign growth of small blood vessels). Depending on when you saw the specialist, the lesion may or may not have been readily apparent.
Other benign lesions in the back of mouth include clusters of lymphatic tissue not unlike your tonsils. If you continue to have concerns about this area, I would discuss it with either your ENT physician or head and neck specialist and make sure you can be evaluated quickly when the lesion is visible to you. That way, there is a good chance that your doctor can see what you are seeing. Your local ENT physician can also take pictures of the lesion so that the specialist can see what he or she is seeing.

The New New Deal
The New New Deal
The Hidden Story of Change in the Obama Era
Simon & Schuster, Hardcover, 9781451642322, 518pp.
Publication Date: August 14, 2012
In a riveting account based on new documents and interviews with more than 400 sources on both sides of the aisle, award-winning reporter Michael Grunwald reveals the vivid story behind President Obama's $800 billion stimulus bill, one of the most important and least understood pieces of legislation in the history of the country. Grunwald's meticulous reporting shows how the stimulus, though reviled on the right and the left, helped prevent a depression while jump-starting the president's agenda for lasting change. As ambitious and far-reaching as FDR's New Deal, the Recovery Act is a down payment on the nation's economic and environmental future, the purest distillation of change in the Obama era.
The stimulus has launched a transition to a clean-energy economy, doubled our renewable power, and financed unprecedented investments in energy efficiency, a smarter grid, electric cars, advanced biofuels, and green manufacturing. It is computerizing America's pen-and-paper medical system. Its Race to the Top is the boldest education reform in U.S. history. It has put in place the biggest middle-class tax cuts in a generation, the largest research investments ever, and the most extensive infrastructure investments since Eisenhower's interstate highway system. It includes the largest expansion of antipoverty programs since the Great Society, lifting millions of Americans above the poverty line, reducing homelessness, and modernizing unemployment insurance. Like the first New Deal, Obama's stimulus has created legacies that last: the world's largest wind and solar projects, a new battery industry, a fledgling high-speed rail network, and the world's highest-speed Internet network.
Michael Grunwald goes behind the scenes--sitting in on cabinet meetings, as well as recounting the secret strategy sessions where Republicans devised their resistance to Obama--to show how the stimulus was born, how it fueled a resurgence on the right, and how it is changing America. The New New Deal shatters the conventional Washington narrative and it will redefine the way Obama's first term is perceived.
"The New New Deal is the most interesting book that has been published about the Obama administration."
"Exceptional...The single best book on the inner workings of the Obama administration. ... Grunwald points out how everything you think you know about the stimulus is wrong."
"The New New Deal is not only the best book about the administration and its challenges, but ... one of the two best books ever written about government."
"Grunwald peppers this Washington drama with dialogue and characters in action, which makes it a rollicking good read."
"Engrossing ... It is a full detailed, careful argument, based on detailed, careful reporting."
"Michael Grunwald is one of our generation's most original and tireless journalists—a reporter who is allergic to received wisdom, a writer with an uncommon talent for illuminating hidden truths. So it is a delight, but not a surprise, that The New New Deal demolishes cliches and vividly reframes our thinking about President Obama and his stimulus package through a gripping narrative."
-John Harris

Rage, simply put, is a single player Borderlands. Unfortunately, it lacks the variety of guns and incredible cooperative gameplay to stand on the same pedestal as Borderlands. So what does Rage have going for it? A solid shooter with some incredible graphics. Forgettable fun.
I finished Rage at around 10 hours. A decent amount, but with such a lackluster "multiplayer", the lack of replay value really stands out. This isn't really an RPG, so you play through the story basically the same way, maybe tinkering with some of the gadgets you pick up. However the story is barely there that the only reason to jump back into the single player would be to blow shit up, and you can find better games to fill that need with.
Not everything is negative. Like I said, the graphics are gorgeous. A lot of detail went into this world that ID created, and even though its a post apocalyptic wasteland, there's a lot of beauty into it. Unfortunately we see a lot of that development, because the game has such horrible texture pop-ins. Yes sir, turn 360 degrees and you will see the entire world shape before your eyes. This may only occur on the PS3 version of the game, but man is it annoying. The only other glitches or bugs I encountered was getting stuck on a rock, and once falling through the entire gameworld, a rather trippy experience to say the least.
The game could've used some more time in the oven, that's for sure. But the gameplay is very fun. The AI reminds me of Bioshock, in that they are very smart and sometimes difficult to kill. It's nice when I'm pointing a shotgun at an enemy's face that they don't run straight at me, and instead roll, jump on a wall, sidestep, ect. This made the gameplay quite challenging and fun to play. You can also mess around with the assortment of equipment you buy or create. You find an assortment of pieces to create equipment such as turrets, wingsticks, EMP grenades, etc. These are fun to play with, but grow old quickly.
There are also upgrades you can purchase, but do not extend beyond a scope for your pistol, or a quick reloader for your shotgun. There are a surprisingly low amount of upgrades you can buy, and the upgrades for your equipment hardly feel like upgrades at all. There are however significant upgrades for your vehicle.
Speaking of vehicles, Rage puts a heavy emphasis on them. The driving mechanics are solid, and some of the upgrades you purchase for them feel great. You earn vehicle tickets by competing in races. These tickets are used for upgrades. The races are fun, while limited. You basically have four types of races: Time Trial, Non-combative races, combative races, and then a sort of rally race, where you collect points by being first to certain areas. The driving AI isn't great; several times I found at least one car stuck into a wall with a simple solution of backing up. These races weren't particular hard either, beating all of them in first place on my first try.
I have hardly touched upon the story? Why? Because I don't need to. There is no story in Rage as far as i'm concerned. Borderlands made up for its lackluster story telling with its addictive co op gameplay, Rage doesn't. The characters and dialogue are boring, the ending is horrible, and the script leaves much to be desired. You learn little about the world and yourself, and are really only left to collect and shoot shit to serve some purpose of "sticking it to the security!". Whatever.
Rage had a lot of potential. Even though it did not live up to the hype, it has some fun to be had. If only the texture pop ins were dealt with, and the story better laid out. Oh well.
2 1/2 Stars out of 5.

I love you guys so much for this! You can't even imagine!
+1 after seeing this live this is such an awesome addition!
I love this new feature Stew!
In one word : It is an amazing
The feature itself is great because we get reviews even for the 5 star rating but for me the sad part is that other buyers don't see this, that would be awesome to sell our products.
someone rated 2 stars one of my item just couple of hours before this going live no review

How can we use the new system to improve buyers experiences now then?
I've just had a 1 star because the buyer perceives bugs in the theme. Thing is, the bug is related to WP Post Attachments, a slightly fiddly area of WP Usage, but something that I could easily help the buyer with if I only had some method of contacting them / replying now?The user has left no item comment, no emails, no support tickets, nothing. Just a buy, and a 1 star. So what can I do about this now? Do I just have to look at this and get annoyed, or is there any way I can help this customer?
We've just received a 1 star, because he didn't like the design and he thinks our item is overpriced!? This is a total nonsense. First of all, didn't he take a look before buying. And secondly, I don't understand that what was Envato thinking while adding a reason like "design quality"? I can understand that one for 4 and 5 starts. But below that? Who doesn't take a look before buying an item or who buys an item if he/she doesn't like the design?
FINALLY! big big big thank you, I love it! It was such a pleasant surprise to receive an email this morning with a rating notification. This wasn't even a must-have for me but it's a really nice addition. excellent job! It's nice to know envato cares so much about their authors and listens to requests

text: Due to an admitted error on my part I recently allowed my library to be deleted when i thought I was just restoring system software. The error being I should ahve backed it up, I was NOT erasing the HD or anything. My whole collection was destroyed, playlists and all. I lost over $60 in purchased itunes music and lot's and lot's and lot's of time on playlists from my cd's and that music. My ipod still has everything as it was and I'll keep it that way for a while without updating. Can anyone show me how to update the ipod without erasing the old lists/songs? Does anyone know how I can get stuff back? I haven't called apple, but their policy is pretty clear on "1 download only". I would want to argue that the system knows what I've purchased and I should get my three copies, but they WERE very clear. Is it possible to restore someway from the ipod? This was very discouraging, made me glad most of my stuff was backed up on data cd's, but also makes me reconsider using itunes if I can't get my purchased material back. Any help would be GREATLY appreciated.

Washington Redskins reserve linebacker and special-teams ace Khary Campbell has declined the team's contract offer of a veteran minimum salary and is holding talks with other NFL teams, according to David Elfin of the Washington Times.
Per the report, Campbell, who led the Redskins in special-teams tackles over the past three seasons, has made up his mind that he's not going to accept the offer and will be moving on.
"That wasn't something I was going to accept," Campbell told the Times. "And they drafted two linebackers. They did what they had to do, and I'm going to do what I have to do."
Campbell, 30, is a former Bowling Green player who had a previous stint with the New York Jets.
He registered 13 tackles last season and a career-high 34 in 200 for the Redskins, appearing in 30 out of the past 32 regular-season games.

maybe wait until he becomes a FA and Snyder will pay him 10x what he's worth.
oh and moochzilla,
this is why the eagles do what they do, so they're NEVER in this position you tool.

Minimum salary for a guy who collected 13 tackles!? How dare they!?
isonic says: Apr 30, 2009 12:28 PM
Sounds like sour grapes to me. If he played more than special teams then a bigger offer would be expected.
Deebs says: Apr 30, 2009 12:33 PM
He's been playing for the Redskins since the year 200? Well, no wonder they don't want to pay him more than the league minimum. He's like 1800 years old! (Though Bill Bellichik reportedly thinks he still has some gas in the tank, and is giving him a tryout at weakside linebacker)
Pea Tear Griffin says: Apr 30, 2009 12:33 PM
"He registered 13 tackles last season"
Talk about a free agent gem!!! I wish Pittsburgh had more cap room so they could throw $30mil at him!!!
skins2357 says: Apr 30, 2009 12:48 PM
I liked Khary…..but not as a starter. And with our cap situation we could not of afforded much more than that. If he wont take the vet min no chance in hell marcus washington will either
bradlelf says: Apr 30, 2009 12:52 PM
"and a career-high 34 in 200 for the Redskins"
Wow, if he was playing in the year 200 he is much older then 30.
Bud Grant says: Apr 30, 2009 1:04 PM
Another example of Washington crapping on their own players.
andrewbillerbeck says: Apr 30, 2009 1:09 PM
going a little far back aren't you…34 tackles in 200…Campbell has been playing for 1808 years. That HAS to be a NFL record haha.
lionfan419 says: Apr 30, 2009 1:13 PM
come to Detroit!
andrewbillerbeck says: Apr 30, 2009 1:15 PM
I didn't even know there was football in the year 200. If I was still good enough to be playing for 1808 years, I wouldn't accept the vet minimum either. Because, come on, if you are 1830 years old and still playing, you have to be amazing. And a very lucky guy to live that long. haha. : )
CJ Weapon X says: Apr 30, 2009 1:29 PM
this guy has to be really old if he had 34 tackles in year 200. I didnt know the NFL existed then. I want to know his trick to staying fit while getting old!
Elaw6 says: Apr 30, 2009 1:37 PM
All this means is that somebody else will step up on special teams and earn the Captain's 'C'. Khary was an above average special teamer. Good luck to him on his future ventures.
Burritto says: Apr 30, 2009 1:44 PM
This is now way to treat a veteran of 18 centuries!
MaineMan says: Apr 30, 2009 1:53 PM

PURPLE_HAY-SEUSS says: Apr 30, 2009 2:03 PM
I don't care how old he is, I'm much more interested in him playing for the Vikings than Favre. Hey, Florio, check the air traffic across the United States and Canada and let us know if an aircraft landed in Washington DC in the past few days, OK?

Hmm, they offered to let a guy who had 13 tackles stay on the team bonehead. I think that's a little more than fair. By the way, the Redskins are notorious for over paying players, so how is any of that crapping on them. Scheez you have the mentality of a Cowboy's fan. Are you a Cowboy's fan? I bet you are.

"Cops wanna knock me, D.A. wanna box me in. But somehow, I beat them charges like Rocky." - Jay-Z
On Professional Responsibility
First, they said we should call our clients back within 24 hours. I wonder if this includes clients' girlfriends, wives, and baby mommas. And, also, is that 24 business hours? Because it is very rarely necessary that I call my clients on the weekends. One of the speakers also suggested bringing your messages home and calling your clients in the evening - under the theory that they'll keep the conversations short when you're impeding on their private time (as opposed to calling them at their office?). One, I'm not taking the chance that my client has caller ID, I'm not calling any accused criminal from my home. Two, private time? My clients don't have private time. They live in the projects where the police can knock on their door and search their homes at any time. Private time? Ha.
Second, and this was the only topic where they used a criminal law example, they talked about preventing your client from perjuring themselves. The example, as always, was, "You know your client is going to make up some 'I didn't do it' story, do you let him testify?" The teaching point was that you should have discussed your clients' story with him so many times that you know what's true. First, I'm not a machine, I'll never know for sure whether a client is lying or not. I've had doubts about a client's story when it's turned out to be true, I've believed a client's story that's turned out to be crap. Further, though, I wish I had the luxury to speak to my clients at greater length before trial, but I just don't.
Then I noticed that when they teach this hypothetical, they never put it in terms of "You're a prosecutor, and you know your cop is lying..." they always ask about criminal defendants.
And, then I had big moment of revelation: That's why the D.A.s don't talk to their cops before the trial. Because they don't want to know if they're going to lie. That way they can always stay within the Rules of Professional Conduct. And that's why the prosecutor gets away with letting her cop "testi-lie," and yet it's always the criminal defendant used in the perjury hypothetical. Am I right, or am I right?
I'm sure there was more I wanted to say about this seminar. If I think of it, I'll have to add it later... I've got baseball to watch right now.

My co-worker was just complaining about his clients' families and how he just doesn't have time to talk to them all the time. I sent him to your blog for inspiration and amusement. When I was a prosecutor I ususally talked to my cops. I think that prosecutor's don't talk to their cops because they are incompetent and lazy.ReplyDelete

Some ADAs (myself included) do talk to every single police officer we want to put on the stand, even if we only have a minute to do so. Sometimes that quick conversation makes me question if the cop is leaving out details or possibly supplying his own; I've withdrawn prosecution on several cases recently for precisely this reason. (For example, when a cop says "Where would you like it to be?" after you ask when and where he first saw the drugs/weapons/whatever, you know you have problems. Regardless of how guilty I may think the defendant actually is, he deserves to have the police play by the rules.)ReplyDelete
Yet I'm well aware that I'm in the minority here and that many prosecutors don't bother to talk to the cops. But I don't think it's because they're conscientiously "following" the Rules of Professional Conduct. It's more likely that they're simply trying to save time and effort -- after all, everyone's seen the police report, and officers generally testify in a manner consistent with their reports (especially since they have reviewed those reports days or even minutes before testifying). As such, some ADAs consider talking (and, even more importantly, listening) to the cops as an avoidable, time-eating, optional step in trial prep. They would characterize themselves as efficient; like the previous poster, I consider them lazy. Either way, it sometimes results in "testilying."
I agree, mostly, with Anonymous (boy, that guy gets around). I've been a prosecutor for going on 17 years and rarely put on a witness I haven't talked to beforehand. I was trained, and experience bears out, that putting on a witness you haven't talked to, even in a misdemeanor trespass case, in the moral equivalent of asking a cross-examination question when you don't have a good idea of the answer. About the only sort of witness where I feel I can rely on the report by itself are chain of custody witnesses or authentication witnesses. To the best of my knowledge, this is still the norm in my office. It's been awhile since I've been in the trial rotation, but my conversations with, and observations of our current trial staff lead me to believe pre-trial/hearing sessions with witnesses are still the rule. For that matter, as far as I know, that is still the teaching point at prosecutor basic.ReplyDelete

I'm a LEO and am going to be on a U/C assignment. I can choose what I want to carry as long as it is at least a .38 and I can qualify with it.
I have been studying the Bersa .45 and the reports I see are good and the weapon doesn't shout "COP". What I would like to know is opinions as to accuracy at 25 yards, the max. range I will qualify.
I have a reliable Kel-Tec p11 but the darn thing just wont keep the rounds COM at much past 10 yards. I need something more compact than the 4" .357 I've been lugging around.

Brass to copper solder
I am plumbing a new shower assembly and I am having trouble soldering the brass flange to the copper pipe which will connect to the valve assembly. I managed to get the pipe hot enough to melt the solder but the flange didn't adhere to the pipe and i was able to slide the flange off the pipe. What am I doing wrong?
Also, should I be concerned about over heating a copper pipe when soldering on copper fittings like elbows? In my concern to insure I had the joint soldered, I heated it for quite a bit and it began smoking...burning the flux I guess.
Maybe you got oil and/or not enough heat to brass fitting?
I would sand both the inside of a brass fitting and outside of a copper pipe (open mesh sandpaper works best), apply flux to both, joined them together, then apply heat and solder.
Remember to apply heat to the brass fitting, not the copper pipe. When you have enough solder covering the entire joint, solder will start to drip out. Stop and wipe the fitting area with a dry rag (not wet).
I used to generate tons of recyclable metal fittings until I figured out the brass needing more heat part :) Just take a deep breath and take your time.
Good luck
PS. I usually wear a pair of latex gloves when sanding and applying flux to prevent hand oil from getting on those parts.

soldering brass fittings is the same proceedure as copper but what are you calling a flange?
If you're working with a shower valve, be sure to remove the guts prior to applying heat. You can damage the o rings,etc.
Are you using flux? What kind? Perhaps you're not heating the brass enough. Heat the fitting and not the pipe.
And yes, you can overheat the fitting and ruin the flux but it will always smoke.
Take a few minutes and watch some youtube soldering videos
I think OP is talking about a drop ear elbow.
Try some new flux. I struggled with a 2 year old can of Oatey's tinning flux. Bought a new can of the regular and it worked great.
It was labelled a flange in the store but I think it might be something else. One end is a 1/2 inch pipe and the other end is a female thread that will thread onto the shower valve. I am replacing all of the pipe so, I have been assembling it so that I can attach the 'flange' to the pipe and thread it on to the valve and then complete the other solder joints...this way, I don't have to worry about ruining the valve rings, etc.
The brass fitting was looser on the pipe, prior to soldering, than the copper fittings were. I assume the joint should fill with solder even though it was looser.
I think I spent more time heating the copper than the brass to begin with, but I corrected this and the solder was entering the joint but not causing the two pieces to become one.
I will get new flux tomorrow and try again.

I think you're describing male adapters. They are commonly available in copper and are easier to work with than brass ones
It took me awhile to find it but, I think it is a female adaptor from what I found on home depot. Hopefully, the link posts.
First of all---the threaded fittings should be soldered to your pipe first--cooled well--then threaded onto the brass valve---
Use TFE paste and teflon tape---then protected from heat with a wet rag----
Exactly what flux are you using?
Are you heating the pipe or the fitting?
The flux I am using is Kester acid paste flux sp-30. I was heating the pipe but, after reading some advice, I started heating the fitting and I have been successful. Tomorrow I hope to hook the shower assembly into the line and see how it works. Crossing my fingers for no leaks.
you may want to do a simple leak test before putting up durock.
when i worked on my bathrooms, I used something like this to plug into your threaded ends (use some white teflon tape for a tight seal) and test them individually.
I think Home Depot has it under "Watts 1/2 in. Brass Square-Head Pipe Plug". It is pricey at 5 bucks each but you will know that your soldered fittings are leak proof.
I was thinking that I could solder the last two connections to finalize the install and then just turn the water on to check for leaks. Should I be doing something different? I am not sure how using a plug would be different.
With the assembly I have, I should be able to turn on the tap itself to see what happens. I would just be using the shower head to spray water in the drain. The cbu would go up after.
You will be fine with your idea-----Most people add a capped 5 or 6 inch nipple---this helps when rocking and tiling-----

Handling Student Frustration
If you have been teaching for any length of time, you have certainly had a student say to you, "Just tell me what you want" in relation to your expectations on an assignment. Often we think of this phrase as an example of student laziness. (It's one of those "will this be on the test?" kind of phrases.) We also take this phrase to mean that the student doesn't want to find her own answers, but instead, wants us to provide the shortcut or the systematic solution to the assignment. Maybe students do sometimes want to take the short cut or want the easy answer. However, this utterance could mean something else. When a student says, "Just tell me what you want," the student could be speaking from a place of great frustration.
We often want students to think for themselves, to try new avenues, to create their own knowledge. We want them to learn something. We sometimes like to provide students latitude in assignments that will allow them to be innovative in their treatment of a subject. This pedagogical strategy encourages student growth and responsibility. However, the problem with these types of assignments—even though they are forward thinking and student-learning-focused—is that students can be afraid of them … because they are afraid of us and how we'll evaluate their efforts. They know they have to do work, but if we are unclear about the expectations for that work, students can assume that we are equally unclear about evaluation.
In other words, if students know what we want them to do and they understand how we will evaluate their efforts, they are more apt to do the work we assign. They'll take chances, and they'll do so without much complaint.
If we want students to take chances, they must be able to trust us. If we have proven ourselves untrustworthy in prior classes, with previous assignments, in other encounters, frustrated students begin to say, "just tell me what you want."
What follows are a few questions that can help us determine (1) if students can trust us, and (2) if we are setting ourselves up for the "just tell me what you want" whine. Some of the questions are not related to specific assignments, but they can be indicators if students can trust what we tell them.
- Have I met my office hours? (If not, have I left a note or alerted students to the change?)
- Is my syllabus online or otherwise available other than on the first day of the semester?
- Do I return student work in a reasonable amount of time?
- Do I require a textbook, and am I using that book?
- Do I respect my students and the knowledge they bring to the classroom?
- Have I set clear guidelines about assignments, even if the assignment is broad?
- If I have strict syllabus policies, do I enforce them equally and fairly?
- Am I creative or innovative in my approach to the subject? (Am I modeling the kind of behavior/actions I wish to see in my students?)
- Have I been clear about how interpretive or creative takes on assignments will be evaluated? (Am I sure I'm not evaluating harshly, for example, if I disagree with the student's interpretation of the assignment?)
Of course, these questions are not exhaustive, and there are many ways we can display our (un)trustworthiness. It's important to recognize that when students are frustrated, we are often to blame.
How about you? How do you keep students from asking you, "just tell me what you want" when you assign them work? Please offer solutions to this problem in comments below.

Chlorhexidine Versus Betadine in Preventing Colonization of Femoral Nerve Catheters After Total Joint Arthroplasty (TJA)
- Full Text View

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Continuous femoral nerve block (CFNB) techniques continue to be increasingly used in the management of postoperative pain after total knee arthroplasty. Although the risk of full blown infection with CFNB has been poorly defined, the rate of catheter colonization after antisepsis with povidone-iodine has been demonstrated to be high (Cuivillion et al. showed the rate of colonization to be 57% after 48 hours). Recently, several anecdotal case reports have demonstrated severe infectious complications including psoas abscess and necrotizing fasciitis associated with continuous nerve block techniques. As the use of CFNB techniques increase in popularity, infectious complications will undoubtedly become more common.
The American Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine recommends the routine use of antiseptic solutions with an alcohol base for skin disinfection before peripheral regional techniques due to their penetration of the stratum corneum and their rapid and prolonged effect. Chlorhexidine(chloraprep) has been proven to be better than povidone iodine solution for skin preparation before epidural catheter and intravascular device insertion (Kinirons et al., Ostrander et al., Mimoz et al.,). The goal of this prospective trial therefore is to determine if an alcoholic solution of 0.5% chlorhexidine is more effective than an aqueous solution of 10% povidone-iodine in reducing catheter colonization and reducing skin flora associated with short term ( 48 hours) postoperative continuous femoral nerve catheter placement. The investigators will also compare the ability of chloraprep and betadine disinfection at the time of catheter placement to prevent bacterial contamination of the continuous femoral catheter.

AP Sports Writer
KNOXVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - Monique Currie scored six points in the final 1:41 and No. 10 Duke upset fourth-ranked Tennessee 59-57 on Thursday night, becoming only the seventh team in 17 years to beat the Lady Vols in Thompson-Boling Arena.
The Lady Vols (4-2) have lost only 14 times at home since the arena opened in 1987, the most recent coming a year ago to Connecticut.
Tennessee could not overcome poor shooting for the third straight game. The Lady Vols shot 28 percent (21-of-75) and were outrebounded 53-42.
Currie scored 16 of her 20 points in the second half and had nine rebounds. Mistie Williams added 14 points and Jessica Foley had 11 for the Blue Devils, who looked just fine without last year's leaders Alana Beard and Iciss Tillis in their first game in Knoxville.
Currie made two free throws to put Duke (6-1) ahead 55-53, and Tye'sha Fluker had a putback to tie it. Currie made a jumper at the other end, but Shyra Ely scored on a putback to tie it at 57 with 47.9 seconds left.
At the other end, Currie drove to the basket for an easy layup that put the Blue Devils ahead for good.
Williams missed a free throw, and Shanna Zolman missed two 3-pointers in the final 13 seconds.
Zolman scored 17 of her 19 points after halftime, and Ely finished with 15 points and eight rebounds.
Tennessee leads the series, 4-3.
Tennessee shot 32 percent in their recent win against Temple and 33 percent a week ago in a loss at Texas that dropped the Lady Vols from the No. 1 spot.
Tennessee led by as many as six points in the second half after going on a 10-4 run after halftime.
Duke responded with a 10-3 run that included eight points by Foley to retake the lead with 12:09 remaining.
Besides Duke and Connecticut, the other teams to win in Knoxville since 1987 were Texas, Louisiana Tech, Auburn, Georgia and Stanford.
