AUSTIN, Texas -- Last week Kenny Vaccaro donned Fozzy Whittaker's number.
This week it will be wide receiver Marquise Goodwin wearing the No. 2.
"What a tribute to their fallen senior player that they wanted to send that message not only to him, but to our team and everybody else," Texas coach Mack Brown said.
Whittaker was lost for the season at Missouri with a knee injury in the first quarter. After that injury, several of the players stepped up and said they were playing the rest of the season for him.
No one wore his jersey number against Kansas State because it was senior day and Whittaker was part of the ceremony. But Vaccaro and Goodwin were the first two to ask to wear it, so Brown and Whittaker went along with it.
"Fozzy is really excited about it, and we thought it was neat that one defensive player and one offensive player, both juniors, decided that they would honor the senior," Brown said. "And I think it's a fitting way for Fozzy to go to Waco for his last game."
Going for Distance
Justin Tucker looked past all the high fives and pats on the back. And when he did, the kicker realized, aside from the game-winning 40-yard field goal to beat Texas A&M, there were some flaws in his game.
Tucker averaged just 34.5 yards per punt with a long of 41 against the Aggies.
Tucker said he was simply hitting the ball too high allowing the wind to slow its progress.
"Going into this week, I'm really trying to just focus on getting more distance out of my punts," he said. "It sounds like it's pretty simple because it is.
"A lot of guys who are specialists, kickers or punters or sometimes even quarterbacks, they'll be a head case and say, well, I need to change this about what I'm doing, and then it leads to inconsistencies. So what I'm trying to do is just keep it simple."
That's always been Tucker's ways, at least ever since he got a piece of advice from an old linebacker.
"My grandfather, when I was a junior in high school, gave me the best advice," Tucker said. "He wasn't a kicker, he was a linebacker back in the day, but he told me, just kick the ball. It's pretty simple. Just kick it as hard as you can, and the rest will take care of itself. As far as going through this week, punting, I'm just going to try to kick it farther."
Stating their Case
Case McCoy stepped up when he had too.
Now his teammates are stepping up and stumping for the sophomore.
"I didn't really realize how he managed the game until after I got to watch it that night," lineman Mason Walters said. "I think he did a great job as a group leader of a corps of guys. Not enough can be said about it. He did a great job managing the game, the situation. He kept everybody calm in the huddle and was able to pull off the win."
"Through last week, that was a really tough game, and seeing him come through at the very end for us and to be poised and to make the plays, it's just amazing," guard David Snow said. "I've blocked for both brothers now, and to see him just take off on the run and get us into field goal position, it's something words can't describe."
"He is resilient and he is a fighter," linebacker Emmanuel Acho said. "He has a will to win that surpasses all his other talents. That's what he showed right there at the end of the game. I told him before the game, 'Never be frightened. Never be shaken. We have your back at all times.' Seeing him on that last drive to just lead us to victory was awesome."


text: Posted May 8, 2012 Well, I guess this thread is relegated to "NBA Talk" despite the fact that this is an article based on, about, and regarding our Charlotte franchise and one of our minority owners... So, I'm posting this here because a couple of douches' vaginas get all itchy if someone speaks negatively about our beloved BOBcats. We'll see who the true fans are if a rebrand does happen, and it'll be hilarious. Anyway, here are some awesome quotes: "Personally, I love (the idea of bringing the Hornets name back to Charlotte) because Bobcats was named for Bob Johnson," Sabates said. "I'm surprised we didn't call them the Johnsoncats." WHAT A WHITE DEVIL RACIST! LMAO... Bobcats executives have said they will consider the possibility if and when Benson closes on his purchase of the New Orleans franchise and if he follows through on his vow to change names. Didn't know they actually did this, but, if so, great... I actually wonder if MJ gave Sabates the OK to put this out there, as it won't be as frowned upon if a minority owner talks about the rebrand compared to an executive front office type.

A family legacy of serving and care
Family honored for school leadership
In the field of chiropractic care and education, three generations of the Cleveland Family have few peers. The Clevelands - involved in Kansas City's chiropractic care and education for 88 years - are recipients of the 2010 UMKC Legacy Award.
Carl S. Cleveland, Jr. attended the University of Kansas City (now UMKC) in the 1940s and later established the Cleveland Chiropractic College. Dr. Cleveland hosted radio shows and appeared on television in Kansas City and Los Angeles, explaining chiropractic treatment and care. His wife - known to family, students and friends as "Dr. Millie" - was a former student at UMKC and later was administrator, instructor and director of the Children's Clinic at the Chiropractic College.
In 1970, Dr. Carl S. Cleveland, III, earned a bachelor of science degree in Biology from UMKC and served as an instructor. He became president of the Cleveland Chiropractic College of Kansas City and Los Angeles in 1992. Elizabeth Cleveland, wife of Dr. Carl S. Cleveland, III, received a master's degree in Social Work from UMKC in 2004.
Their children have continued the tradition.
Carl S. Cleveland, IV, attended UMKC's School of Biological Sciences. Their daughter, Dr. Ashley Cleveland, earned an M.A. degree in Sociology from UMKC in 1998, and has been a UMKC guest lecturer. Their daughter, Alexandra S. Cleveland, received a master's degree in Social Work in 2004.
At the chiropractic college, the Clevelands serve as administrators and instructors. Dr. Carl S. Cleveland, III, president, is a prominent speaker and educator, often addressing the role of chiropractic in the Medicare program. Elizabeth Cleveland is executive director of the Cleveland College Foundation. Ashley Cleveland is an associate professor, Provost, Associate Academic Dean and a frequent presenter and publisher of works on chiropractic education and philosophy. She has spoken of her experiences as a cancer patient to UMKC sociology students.

Meguiars Headlight Protectant 10 oz.
Helps maintain headlight clarity for new & recently restored headlights!
Meguiars Headlight Protectant provides powerful protection for plastic headlight lens covers against UV rays. With regular use, oxidation and discoloration can be prevented. New and newly restored headlights will stay clean and clear! Meguiars Headlight Protectant works just like a sealant but it's formulated exclusively for headlights.
Fogginess and yellowing are caused by harmful UV Rays which oxidize and discolor plastic. Like sunscreen, Meguiar's unique Headlight Protectant formula acts as a barrier between plastic and these harmful rays, prolonging the clarity and brilliance of new or restored headlights. Applying this product every time you wax your car, ensures that you're headlights look new and bright for a longer period of time.
To apply, we recommend using a clean, soft cloth or applicator pad; just work the product lightly against the lens much like you would with a pure polish, and then wipe off the residue.
To restore headlights that are already oxidized, use
Meguiars Heavy Duty Two Step Headlight Restoration Kit
(G-3000). It includes a small bottle of Headlight Protectant but you can purchase this 10 oz. size to continue protecting your restored headlights.
Oxidation can set in quicker than you think! Use Meguiars Headlight Protectant to keep them clear and functioning at their peak.

Good so far
January 29, 2013
Not sure why Mr WIse had such a hard time getting the protectant to wipe off the headlights, but I had no problem. Used the corner of a microfiber towel to apply, and once I covered the entire headlight I wiped it off with the dry portion of the same towel. Had to wipe the headlight a few times, but the haze all came clear. As far as protection goes...we shall see. Just applied it to brand new headlights I installed.

Meguiars headlight lens protectant
June 28, 2012
There are a very few products that I dislike enough to give a bad rating but this is one of them. I tried it on my new Toyota truck headlights and was unable to remove the glaze without using window cleaner. I tried every way possible (ie.removing while stlll wet, allowing to dry) and used microfiber towels and a Meguiars applicator without acceptable results. I also called Meguiars customer service to no avail. I am through buying products just because it has the Meguiars name.

Meguirars headlight cleaner
January 30, 2012
The Meguiars headlight restore system is great, I recently tried it on my 06 300,that had very foggy headlights, after using this product they look factory new. I also tried it on the rear taillights and they even had a much better gloss to them. I 've used Meguiars products for years on kit cars, hot rods, vettes, and other vehicles. I've been very pleased with all of the results from Meguiars products

Leila Fawaz is a busy woman. With a joint appointment as a professor of diplomacy at The Fletcher School and a history professor at Tufts University, as well as a position as director of the Fares Center for Eastern Mediterranean Studies, Fawaz deals with a range of programs, courses, and research involving her region of expertise.
"I'm interested in the Levant – the Eastern Mediterranean," she says. "Egypt, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, Israel, Palestine: these are the countries that are my strength. And, culturally, the region is amazing. There has been a recent revival of intellectual and cultural history in the area, and we need more of that."
Fawaz's research focus on social history is unique, as she explores historical perspectives that hold implications for the role of memory and collective action, and how "regular people" become a part of history.
"Social and political history – you can't separate them, really," she says. "I am interested in narrative history – to tell a story in a way that is readable. I would like to tell a story of how people cope with great stress during the war years. This would involve soldiers, but also ordinary people, and how ordinary people deal with extraordinary times."
This research has only just begun to form for Fawaz. "I spent months and months in the archives, but I still have a lot of books to read in the summer," she says. Research is more difficult for her to perform during the academic year, as Fawaz teaches the popular "Arabs and their Neighbors" course in the diplomacy field at Fletcher.
"The students here are so good," she says. "Teaching is an immediate reward – you remember why you are here in the first place."
Her courses, along with her work at the Fares Center, deal primarily with current affairs in the Middle East. In November, the Center was a co-sponsor of two Charles Francis Adams lectures at The Fletcher School: one by Ambassador Thomas Pickering on Iran's nuclear program (which was initiated with the newly-created Boston Forum on the Middle East), and one by well-known Georgetown University professor John Esposito on American foreign policy and the future of the Muslim world. In addition to overseeing these events, much of Fawaz's time involves preparation for a conference the Center is hosting in January 2006, entitled "Democratizing the Middle East?".
"It's a very current topic, and the conference will be just after the Iraqi elections, and around the time of the Palestinian elections," Fawaz says.
With her range of expertise, which includes work on urban history, urbanization, 19th century civil war, and cultural connections between the civilizations that have grown around the Indian Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, Fawaz's intellectual curiosity is far from satisfied.
"We start at the present and look back for the answers," she says, "to understand where we are now."

Using our Redszone top 40, which Reds prospects do you see taking the biggest leap forward in 2010?
For the pitchers, I'll go with Juan Carlos Sulbaran. We ranked him as our #22 prospect in the Redszone top 40, but I could see him moving into at least the 10-12 range next season, and maybe even higher than that. He struggled some in 2009 but I still love his potential. Despite his struggles, he still struckout 100 batters in 92.2 innings for a strong 9.7 K/9. That tells me his stuff is there, he just needs to locate it better (5.0 BB/9). He just turned 20 in November, so he still has plenty of time to put things together. I think he'll probably begin the season in Dayton and earn a promotion to Lynchburg by midseason.
As for the hitters, I had to think about this one a little harder. Juan Duran crossed my mind, but we ranked him at #16, and while I expect him to play a lot better this season, I don't see him jumping no higher than around 8-12. I considered all of the young shortstops, but Henry Rodriguez and Junior Arias both stuck out the most. We ranked Rodriguez #34 and Arias #37 and based on their tools, if they hit well this year like expected then both will probably jump into the top 20 next offseason. A strong case could be made for Gregorius and Valor too.
So who do you see making a big jump?

Palace earn shock win over Sunderland
Crystal Palace 2-1 Sunderland
Crystal Palace pulled off a shock victory against Sunderland in the Worthington Cup quarter-finals at Selhurst Park.
The First Division side upset the form book to earn a semi-final place thanks to Clinton Morrison's 82nd minute winner.
Mikael Forssell put the cash-strapped Eagles ahead early in the second half but Sunderland were level straight away through Alex Rae.
Palace twice hit the woodwork before Morrison clinched the all important winner to set up a semi-final meeting against Liverpool.
Sunderland had themselves to blame as their indifferent finishing cost them dear.
Off target
Danny Dichio, handed a rare start in place of the rested Niall Quinn, missed a host of chances while Kevin Phillips was unusually wasteful with his finishing.
A static Sunderland backline were almost punished in the 10th minute when Fan Zhiyi's through-ball sprang the offside trap for Morrison to race clear.
The Eagles' top scorer attempted to curl the ball around the on-rushing Thomas Sorensen but the big Dane managed to half-stop the effort and Darren Williams cleared off the line.
Dichio also had a good chance four minutes later but toe-poked his shot wide from Rae's left-wing free-kick having stolen in front of the hosts' defence.
Following a pensive opening 45 minutes the game burst into life at the resumption with two goals in the space of 60 seconds.
Sorensen gifted the home side the lead with a 48th-minute gaffe that left Forssell with the easiest of tap-ins.
The Finnish forward, on a long-term loan from London neighbours Chelsea, had fired a shot wide from the Eagles' first foray forward of the half.
Sorensen made a terrible hash of his goal-kick, however, fluffing it straight to Morrison who squared for his strike partner to walk the ball into the net.
Sunderland offered an immediate riposte, though, levelling straight from the restart through Rae as the Scot pounced on a Dichio knock-down to squeeze his shot under Kolinko.
Dichio warmed Kolinko's fingers with a 20-yard volley and should have put the visitors ahead in the 58th minute only to guide the ball the wrong side of a post after he and Phillips got in each other's way.
Palace continued to press at the other end, however, the crossbar twice denying Smith's Division One side in a matter of seconds.
First Forssell cut inside to curl a right-foot shot against the woodwork before flailing his follow-up attempt wide. Then Morrison repeated the feat by ballooning the ball off the angle following a Forssell lay-off.
Phillips forced Kolinko to turn away a long-range drive before blazing high and wide after outpacing the defence.
With extra time looming and Palace's luck seemingly spent, Morrison produced a sublime winner.
He danced around Gray on the edge of the area and his piercing cross-shot arrowed past Sorensen's despairing dive and in off the post.
Crystal Palace: Kolinko, Smith, Austin, Zhiyi, Ruddock,
Mullins, Rodger, Clinton Morrison, Black, Forssell, Pollock.
Sunderland: Sorensen, Gray, Williams, Varga, Thome, Arca, Kilbane, Rae, Schwarz, Dichio, Phillips.
Referee: A Wiley (Burntwood).

Fears of an incipient housing bubble in London – and concerns about the UK property sector in general – are soaring as quickly as the prices themselves. But not all bubbles are created equal – especially when it comes to first-time buyers.
How might rising house prices affect first-time buyers? The graph below shows the average UK house price compared to how much of the average take-home pay first-time buyers spend on repayments.
The most striking thing about the graph is the way price correlates so strongly to the stretched nature of first-time buyer households until mid-2009, at which point the two lines start to move in opposite directions. Prices have begun to go up again, but first-time buyers have become consistently less stretched across the UK. Read more

Commander Keen Episode I: Marooned on Mars
Review by KingBroccoli
"The keenest adventurer you're ever likely to meet...... (((PUN ALERT)))"
Commander Keen is a fun little platform shooter that is set completely on the planet Mars! You take control of a ten-year-old kid, who just happens to have the last name Keen, this kid is a bit of a genius and has managed to construct a spaceship of his very own. On his very first trip in his ship he lands on Mars, and disaster strikes! His ship is raided and four vital accessories are stolen from it by these creatures named ''vorticons'' you must take Commander Keen through a whole series of levels and recover these parts! If you fail to complete these tasks the poor kid will be stuck on the red planet forever, so you better get out your pogo-stick and your gun and get started, because these items certainly aren't going to recover themselves.
The graphics are bright, colourful and exceed the standards that one usually receives from a shareware game. Despite their age they're very pleasing to look at, but they certainly won't be knocking the socks off anybody anytime soon! Your character is reasonably pretty, especially the outrageous costume that he has on, it looks exactly as if a toddler designed his very own spacesuit, which is just a perfect thing! He's a pretty small person that Commander Keen, so he doesn't have an extravagant amount of detail, but he makes do with what he's got! The designs of the enemies are pretty simple but they look very nice, those nasty vorticons resemble wolves standing up on two legs, so they obviously didn't waste too much imagination on those things! You've only got two different types of enemies to worry about, you've got your friendly looking thing that's just two legs, a pear shaped body and a singular eye, he wanders about with a grin on his face and really only wants to play with you! The second design is a far more dangerous looking one; it's a luminous green thing with a big snarl, two eyes and a couple of tentacles dangling here and there. They drove fear into my heart when I was much younger, but they have lost their ability to make a person fear by now. The characters are generally pretty cool, a little bit more detail would have been nice, but you'll have to make do.
The backgrounds are rather simple; they stand out very nicely and are pretty clear. Most of them are just made up with a single colour, with an object or two plastered onto it. The colours they have chosen blend well with each other, and it creates a whole lot of scenes that aren't eyesores one tiny little bit. The most you'll get in the way of detail is a generic pattern, or a sign or two with ''APOGEE RULES'' plastered onto the walls. There are some scenes where they've made use of lighting (which is really just basically making one section a bit brighter than another in an old game like this) well, where you can emerge from the shadows into apparent brightness and looking pretty darn spiffy while you're at it. The backgrounds complement the characters nicely, and look okay on their own, a respectable job overall.
As a whole, the graphics aren't overly impressive but will prove to be satisfactory for the entire length of the game. It can all get a little bit garish at times, but only for reasonably small sections! There's a little bit of variety in the graphical scenes, enough to stop you from wrinkling up your eyelids in disgust. Overall it's a graphical package that won't make too many enemies, it's just a collection of nice vibrant pictures appearing on your screen!
The sound of Commander Keen is absolutely shocking; it has absolutely no noticeable redeeming features. It's tough to think of positive things to write about it, probably because they don't exist! First of all, there is no background music whatsoever. If a person tries to tell you that Commander Keen has background music, you just tell them that they're big fat liars, because there is none at all. You get a few little bars of random notes when you die or finish a level, but that can hardly be described as music!
The sound effects are there in quite large numbers, but you'll wish that they were as transparent as the music. Every single one of the effects sounds scratchy, and just plain old irritating, considering that there is a constant rumbling sound that plays whenever Commander Keen walks, you're in for a lot of pain and torture. You have to admire the insistence of the developers to make the sound effects as abundant as they are, it might have been done to cover up for the lack of music. But if you're going to put a lot of sound effects into a game then you have to make them sound good! Having a whole lot of sounds that sound absolutely terrible and will annoy everyone that hears them is just not on. A terrible job has been done in this area. Overall, this package of sonics is one of the worst I've had the displeasure of listening to, improvements could have been made all over the place!
The gameplay is fairly simple, but still a lot of fun to have a go at. You start off on the world map, and have to manoeuvre your way around to the level you wish to try out. Some of these levels will prove to be long and challenging, others will be short and rather pointless, and there are four levels that are ultimately rewarding (finish them and you'll probably get a part for your ship in the process). All you start the game with is a gun with no bullets in your hand, and a crash helmet on your head, from there you'll have to win your way through all the levels until you're able to escape!
Commander Keen has a few small tricks up his sleeve that make him able to withstand most of the assaults from the various enemies. You've got yourself a bit of a ray gun, every time you get a pick-up you'll get five bullets that can be fired by it. Most enemies will only take one bullet to put them out of their misery, but the pesky little vorticons will need four or five shots to be taken down. The other object to be added to your inventory is a Pogo Stick, it's helpful for avoiding attacks or reaching higher jumps. Both of these things are vital tools if you hope to make it to the end of the game intact, use them wisely my son.
Controlling your character can be a rather tiring task, the controls are easy to remember with arrows to move around and a combination of ALT and CTRL to complete any other action, the big problem is the responsiveness of Commander Keen. Jumping from ledge to ledge or just generally jumping around the screen at any time is made very difficult! You'll often find yourself going just that little bit too far because of the over-responsiveness of the controls; it's a pretty bad problem and the cause of much fuss and consternation from those that have played it. You're pogo stick can prove to be a little bit unwieldy, you'll find yourself having even more trouble measuring those jumps properly when you're bouncing around like a kangaroo on heat! The controls could have definitely used a bit of refining.
The level designs are reasonably simple, they're not the biggest levels I've ever come across but they do require a little bit of work to finish off. There are quite a few keycards in the game, up to four in every level. They're all a different colour, so you'll have to do a little bit of hunting and gathering to find your way to the end of the level. There are quite a few things you have to look out for, these might include snapping flowers on the ground or green tentacles dangling down from an upper level. Most of the levels are pretty straightforward and shouldn't take more than two or three times to perfect your journeys through each of the levels. They're not too imaginative, they're not too hard, but they should provide sufficient entertainment to you.
Overall, the gameplay is pretty typical stuff; you won't find yourself doing anything you haven't done countless times before. Despite the lack of originality it also doesn't have too many flaws, so it makes the game a bit more playable than some of the other comparable games out there. It's gameplay that the younger kiddies especially will love, but should give out a good time to must that play it!
The lifespan of Commander Keen would be mid-range, a game can take a reasonable amount of time to play through if you're going to finish ALL of the levels. Of course you don't really have to play them all, only the ones where you need to fetch the spare part and the ones blocking your path need to be finished, so you can fly through the game a lot faster should you have the appropriate knowledge. The replay value is fairly high, you'll finish the game quite a few times which makes the lifespan of the game fairly lengthy. It's not a game you'll find yourself just brushing past!
The fun factor would be somewhere between medium and high, there aren't too many irritating things to really irk you, but there's nothing about the game that stands out and makes it more fun than any other. If you're looking for a good generic time, then this is definitely a game that you should try out, it's altogether pretty bland and won't have you ringing all your friends and shouting in their ears how much you enjoy the game. You won't get so much satisfaction from finishing it, as the ending is pretty lacklustre and it's not the hardest task going around, just nice and average!
The challenge of Commander Keen is pretty light on, the vorticons offer up a little bit of trouble towards our hero, and there's one level in particular that can be quite troublesome, but on the whole there isn't too much dangerous stuff in the game. The very last enemy is a bit of a blighter, as not only will he jump around like the other vorticons and make it impossible for you to pass him, but he also happens to be immune to your puny bullets. You actually have to think a little bit to take him out! Shock, horror, gasp indeed.
Commander Keen is a game that offers up a limited amount of fun for a limited amount of time, it sounds a bit like an offer from McDonalds! It's biggest problem is its lack of originality, it doesn't really have anything in it (other than an amusing spaceship name) that makes it any more playable or enjoyable than anything else out there. It is looking rather dated now, so if you're looking for a game a bit like this, just keep moving on, it might give you what you're looking for but there's bound to be something else that will give you what you're looking for with higher standards. A commendable effort, but it doesn't quite have the follow through.
- Nice level designs
- Cute little enemies
- Commander Keen is just like you or me, he's a perfect role model for the kids of today!
- No originality
- Too little challenge
- Ordinary longevity

Powerball Winners – Did You Get The Money?
The lure of instant riches is a strong one. We have all thought about what we would do if we won The Powerball. Last night somebody did win the current Powerball Jackpot and I am guessing it wasn't you.
According to reports there were three tickets that had the winning numbers. Two of the tickets were sold in New Jersey and the other was sold in Minnesota. Unless you are visiting in those places or you just got back from there I am guessing you're going to need to report to work on time this morning.
What would the first thing most people would do if they actually won the lottery? It warms my heart to tell you the philanthropic side of humanity in general. Almost half of people surveyed said they would help out family members. Many others suggested they would make a large donation to a favorite charity or their church.
Others had more exciting plans, quite a few people would start their own business. A few people said they would get a divorce. Others simply said they would travel the world. Regardless of whether we win the Powerball or not there are still a lot of riches for us to enjoy that are free everyday. Among those free things is our time together on the radio. Since you didn't win and I didn't win, I guess we will keep this relationship going a little longer.

MAJOR plans to reshape part of the Weavers Triangle complex in Burnley have been given the go-ahead.
Under the Barnfield and borough council scheme, Sandygate Mill and Slater's Terrace will be converted into commercial offices.
Architects Campbell Drive have also drawn up proposals to transform the old weaving shed into a car park and retain two walls of the former Waterloo Hotel, which will be also marketed for business use.
Project director Gareth Smith said approval meant the redevelopment plans could take another step forward.
He said: "We are committed to the ongoing regeneration of Burnley and the approval of this phase of development means we can continue with the redevelopment of Weavers Triangle and help revitalise this part of town."
The initiative has been aided by financial support from the Regional Growth Fund and will tie in with the rebirth of Victoria Mill as a university technical college.

A key moment for any start-up business is receiving the first tranche of investment from someone outside the original backers.
MusicHype's announcement of a $600,000 input from Christchurch-based NZ Capital Strategies' Rutherford Innovation Fund is, at the very least, a serious indication that an outsider thinks its idea is good.
The one year old Wellington company's 'offer' is a way connect music fans and bands – rewarding fans for their love of a particular artist(s), and enabling the musicians themselves to make money from exclusive merchandise, tickets, digital downloads and other products.
Relatively unusually for a start-up, the company nudged itself into a breakeven position towards the end of 2010.
initiative is a play in the mixed up world of music, where 'free' is ubiquitous, new bands struggle to be noticed in a crowded internet space, and their ability to survive while being able to produce music is a completely different game compared to the past.
sticK profiled the start-up late last year (see here), including the news that it has been invited to the world's largest digital music event MIDEM, at Cannes, France, later this month.
MusicHype's chief executive Jeff Mitchell is to pitch to MIDEM's live audience, as well as a panel of international judges. The six day event attracts over 7,000 delegates, across 60 pavilions, with 120 conferences, 3,200 companies and over 400 journalists.
The event will be another opportunity for MusicHype to showcase its 'social commerce' platform. Almost concurrently, Mitchell and fellow founder Annabel Youens are setting up a permanent office in Los Angeles, using the $600k investment to help scale up its web-based platform in North America.
MusicHype's 'secret sauce' is its proprietary 'Appreciation Engine'. This tracks fans' activity across social media services like Facebook, Twitter and Last.FM, rewarding them for promoting bands they love. In turn MusicHype increases the direct revenue for artists and labels through ticket sales, merchandise and other music related products.
And while MusicHype's pitch is initially in music, the intellectual property behind its 'Appreciation Engine' applies across other sectors as well.
Being able to firstly understand, and then tap into social media and its influence on consumer behaviour is one of the goals of literally hundreds of internet start-ups around the world.
MusicHype's convinced an initial outside investor it has the particular key to unlock that treasure chest.
In the world of the web, a year's a long time.
That may well be all the time required to see whether MusicHype takes off and can mine the mother lode.
Watch this space.

Rate Doctors Hospital
Ratings for Doctors Hospital
I underwent an anterior spinal fusion (L4-L5, L5-S1) and as synesthesia was induced, I was paralyzed by remained full conscious. Neither the anesthesiologist or surgeons noticed my high, irregular pulse which spiked with every incision and subsequent retraction. It was right out of "The Pit and the Pendulum." Absolutely horrific torture to endure. The O.R. team talked about any and everything; not once did the anesthesiologist check my pupils, or notice any alarming trend in my pulse, which was exceedingly high at times.
This laxity of medical discipline and total failure to monitor a patient under their surgical care starts with the hospital administration, and goes right through the ranks to the individual physicians and surgeons whose patients must suffer a lifetime of agony because they were too busy to responsibly care for their helpless, suffering patient.

Indy racing legend Andy Granatelli passed away on Sunday in Santa Barbara, CA, due to congestive heart failure. He was 90. Granatelli was famous for his innovation in American open-wheel racing, kicking off his Indy career with an entry in the 1946 race. His creative streak didn't really kick off until the 1960s, though, when the Dallas, TX-born Granatelli began entering a series of wildly powerful supercharged Novi V8s in the Indianapolis 500. This was followed by the arrival of the (in)famous
Dario Franchitti to retire following aftermath of Houston wreck

- Nov 14, 2013
Dario Franchitti will heed the advice of doctors and retire from competitive racing. Franchitti, 40, was seriously injured at last month's Grand Prix of Houston when his Indy car speared off the track and into the catch fencing, injuring both himself and spectators. The Scottish driver suffered a pair of broken vertebrae, a broken ankle and a concussion in the crash.
Acura to roll out NSX Prototype for Mid-Ohio IndyCar race

Acura will tease us yet again with its next-gen NSX when it makes an appearance at Mid-Ohio Raceway before the circuit's IndyCar race early next month. To be fair, the car's in-motion debut won't take the form of a production model – that's still a ways off – the vehicle will be a prototype. It'll be sporting custom graphics and an eye-catching paint (wrap?) job to draw the attention of the spectators, but really, we just want to hear this thing rounding the legendary road course at

But after 19 years in racing together, Marlboro parent company Phillip Morris ended its sponsorship of the motor racing dynasty earlier this year. Now it appears that Shell Oil could be taking its place.

Award-winning science
University of Mami undergraduate meteorology student research recognized
VIRGINIA KEY, FL (November 16, 2006) -- A University of Miami undergraduate meteorology student has stood out within the Society for Advancement of Chicanos and Native Americans in Science (SACNAS). Michael Hernandez, a junior from Miami, was awarded Outstanding Student Poster in the geosciences category at the SACNAS national conference in Tampa, Fla. in October. The poster, titled "Comparison of CHAMP Radio Occultations with Global Model Forecasts: 2005 Hurricane Season," detailed research Hernandez completed last summer.
As a Significant Opportunities in Atmospheric Research and Science (or SOARS) prot�g�, Hernandez is part of a program that combines research internship, mentoring, and learning community approaches in an effort to increase minority participation in atmospheric and related sciences. The program offers financial support for research endeavors in all sciences from chemistry to engineering to ecology, primarily to historically under-represented groups of students, for up to four years. SOAR prot�g�s participate in summer mentoring programs in Boulder, Colo., designed to collect and present original research, receiving stipends, round-trip travel, summer residences and additional travel support for research presentations.
A junior majoring in meteorology and applied mathematics, Hernandez recently completed his first summer with the SOARS program. Under the guidance of Dr. Sharan Majumdar, University of Miami Rosenstiel School research assistant professor, he is working on his senior thesis, investigating why hurricane Katrina turned south "when moving on shore in South Florida" and whether there were any signs of this movement before 5 pm on Thursday, Aug. 28, when it was first reported. He received funding via the AMS 21st Century Campaign. Hernandez is already applying to graduate school where he plans to work on a project that will assimilate COSMIC satellite data into hurricane forecast models.
Rosenstiel School is part of the University of Miami and, since its founding in the 1940s, has grown into one of the world's premier marine and atmospheric research institutions.

ADHD Adults
New to this
I sit here trying to figure out what to say. I am 48 now and most of my 40's have seem to be a disaster. After taking the time to research this topic I noticed clues that led me back to my childhood. My grades were poor. I only had a couple of friends. I was picked on a lot, although I was a big guy. I was and am very emotional but I know I am not gay. I could fix or trouble shoot anything. I felt, if you gave me the plans to the space shuttle, I could build it. I was a loner in high school and barely graduated. I drank and did things I believed to be normal at that time. I tried to go to college multiple times but either stopped going to class or lost interest. I have worked in the same career field for over 20 years and the same employer. Any job I held before that, I excelled and or go bored of it. I have been married for over 23 years. My 40's have been difficult. I have tried to move into management. I have taken on so much work to prove myself. I believe they have caught on to my problem. They would fail at something and talk about it in front of me knowing I would step up and take it on. I can't say no to helping anyone. I can't watch anything fail. It all seems like my responsibility. I am completely overwhelmed at this time. Paralyzing! Things are slowly failing which makes me feel incompetent. So recently I am trying to go back to school. Engineering- 3 classes a semester. I now notice my attention span stops me from studying. I can read a sentence and by the end of it, I can't remember what I just read. I meet people and immediately forget their names. I rush through the day not stopping to talk to anybody but trying to get as much as I can done. I am exploding with stress and anxiety. Quitting coffee has helped.
There's more….but is this it? Is this having ADD?

Separate names with a comma.
Desktop Amps item created by nightmancometh, Jun 27, 2010
Pros - Excellent all around.
Cons - Not widely available. Limited tube rolling capabilities.
I've had my Trafomatic Experience Head One for a few days now and have put some hours on it. I bought it secondhand, complete with tubes, so I'm assuming it has already been fully burned in. I'm posting my impressions here in a little mini-review. It is driving my HD600s, which I find to be a match made in heaven.
To understand where I'm coming from, I'll give a little bit of a background about me. I grew up with Walkman cassette players and Discman CD players. I listened to most of my music that way, complete with the cheap $1 headphones they throw in the box for you to use. I didn't know any different. I didn't know any better. I enjoyed music that way and was happy as can be. Later on, I got into iPods, also with cheap headphones, and listened to lossy AAC files. Once again, I didn't know any different and really enjoyed music that way. Concepts of sound stage, decay, timbre, etc. were all foreign to me. I was blissfully ignorant in music being compressed between my ears.
Then, about 2 years ago, I got my first "good" amp. It was a Woo 3. It drove my first "good" headphones, which were the DT880s. This was an epiphany for me. I never knew how much headphone music could come alive. I had sounds all over my head, projected out into space. I could hear 3-D positions of instruments and dynamic range came alive. I entered into a whole new world.
You could consider my Woo 3 as a gateway drug. Once I knew better sound was possible, it became game on. I had a new understanding of music reproduction, but more importantly, the desire to maximize my listening experiences.
Well, now I have taken ownership of the Trafomatic. This amp has bested everything I have heard so far. I'm not trying to put down the Woo 3, because it really is a fine amp for the money, but it is my only real point of reference for comparing the Trafomatic. I also realize that the Woo 3 costs about 3-4 times less than the Trafomatic, so it should perform less impressively. But, once again, it is my only point of reference.
Compared to the Woo 3, the Trafomatic is better in every desirable category. For starters, the sound stage is huge. I had no idea a headphone sound stage could be this large. It has layers upon layers of sound. I feel surrounded by the music. The imaging is sublime. I can pinpoint the exact position of instruments and voices. I don't have the vocabulary to describe it, but there is just an immense sound signature. It is alive. There is just so much sound and information surrounding my head. It is very holographic and 3-D. I have never experienced such an expansive image ever before. There is tremendous separation. However, it is not fatiguing. I am not under sensory overload. It all comes together in beautiful musicality. Yet, there is tremendous air in this tapestry of sound. Everything is sewn together in a wondrous atmosphere.
The sound is very neutral, but there is a hint of warmness. It also has a touch of liquidness and midtone tube magic. Warm and syrupy this amp is not. This amp is clear, precise, but very musical. It has a hint of sweetness to it. This amp does not have flaws to my ears. There is nothing fatiguing about it. No strident tones. Accurate, but musical.
The bass runs deep. It is tight and accurate. Not at all boomy. When the song calls for bass, the amp puts it out. This amp seems to have power to spare in spades. It can dig deep when needed and never lose focus, clarity, or control.
There's not a whole lot more I can say about this amp that has not been said already. My biggest impression is just how much sound this device puts out. There is sound everywhere. Layers upon layers upon layers in total control and precision. Coming from my Walkman cassette player with $1 headphones, I never knew how much sound was possible. I never imagined I would have this amount of sound around my head.
The only real drawbacks are this amp is not widely available and tube rolling is limited, or even not possible. However, this isn't an issue because the standard tubes are phenomenal.
The Trafomatic is a true masterpiece. It is without a doubt the best musical experience I have ever had.
Pros - Lots of tonal colour. Fantastic pre-amp too
Cons - Source toogle switch on back side
Just got this head-amp some days ago and already find it to sound very good on various phones of differing impedance and power requirements. The amp has a selector switch for 30, 100 and 300 Ohm phones plus line out. I have a pair of Audeze LCD-2 but my favourite phones are by far the Sennheiser HD800 which truly shines with this amp as well as with my Burson HA160.
The treble is extended and the lows are tight and goes very deep. Even though it is a tube amp, the tonality seems very neutral and is by far the most detailed amp I've heard. Still, there is so much bottom grip and dynamics that listening through this amp becomes truly engaging. The amp conveys PRAT in spades.
I must admit that the high ranking is also due to the item's performance as a preamp. I use it also as an input stage in front of my regular power amp and it far outshines my Conrad-Johnson Premier 17Ls2 mkII in my stereo system - which is a big bonus. I've come to respect the designer of this head-/pre-amp.
Avkward issues of the design is that the source selector is on the amps backside which is less ideal when the amp is located in a bench. However, this amp has input for two sources which is better than most.

Check out this defensive struggle, compete with some last minute heroics that made listening to our foul-mouthed opponent worth the pain to our virgin eardrums.

What would you like to do?
Can a person collect unemployment benefits while on short term disability in IL?
Private Disability Insurance Private disability insurance includes sickness and accident payments, long-term disability, and short-term disability. This insurance is usually part of a benefits package at work. If you are currently receiving sickness and accident payments, you are still eligible for Pennsylvania work comp payments. Keep in mind:
- If your employer pays the premium on your private disability insurance, the amount of your work comp payment will be reduced by the amount of your private disability payment.
- If you pay the premium for your private disability insurance, your work comp payment will not be reduced.
- be unemployed through no fault of their own (ex. Didn't quit their job)
- be able to work
- be available to work
- register at a Job Service Office
- have worked a minimum number of weeks during the year
- have earned a minimum amount in wages during the year

Thanks for the feedback!
Can I collect both long term disability benefits and unemployment benefits while waiting for next disability benefit at the end of October?
In order to collect unemployment benefits, you must be physically able to work. In order to get disability benefits, you must NOT be able to work. So you can't have it both …ways.
Do short-term disability benefits count as income earning by the US department of unemployment?
It is the US Department of Labor, and the states basically determine the terms of qualifying income. In almost all cases only earned income, not government benefits, qualify a…s income for benefit purposes, so the answer would be No.
Can you collect short term disability for surgery?
Most likely yes if the surgery prevents you from performing your work duties.
What happens if you collect short term disability while you work your second job?
If your Short-Term Disability Insurance policy has an "Own-occupation" definition of disability, and your second job is not related with your main occupation, you could contin…ue receiving short term DI benefits as long as you are still disabled and can't perform your duties of your main job. That being said, your disability benefit may be reduced as a result of the other income, however. Fortunately, many disability policies have incentives to encourage people to work as much as they are safely able, so it's possible that you will still earn more between both sources of income than you would from just one or the other. It should be noted that if the second job is related and/or the Short Term Disability company can prove that you are able to work at your primary job based on your duties you are performing at your second job, your benefits may stop. The best place to start is to check your policy definitions and verify that your disability due to injury or sickness is covered on an "own-occ" or own occupation basis, and review what it says about partial disability benefits.
Can you collect unemployment benefits and disability?
It depends on the state and the nature of the disability. If you are permanently disabled and can't work then you probably can not get unemployment. They will ask you in the… check claiming process if you are able to work. Some states will allow eligibility if you have a disability, but it depends on the disability and whether it prevents you from doing any type of work you would otherwise be capable of doing.
Can a person collect unemployment benefits while receiving disability from the military?
It may depend on the nature of the disability. Unemployment requires the ability, among other things, to work and by definition, a disabled person might not be able to perform… that function.
Can you apply for Social Security Disability while collecting unemployment?
Technically and legally, yes, but there are risks involved. While the Social Security Administration doesn't prohibit people on (SSDI) disability from receiving unemployment… checks, state unemployment regulations usually require all unemployment recipients to be willing and able to accept full-time work. This creates a conflict, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work. When you file for unemployment compensation, all states require you to provide your Social Security number (authorized under Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. 85, Sections 6011(a), 6050(b), 6109(a), P.L. 98-369, Section 1137(a)(1)). They will share information about your claim with other government agencies to determine how unemployment affects other benefits you may receive, such as Medicaid and food stamps. If you are in the process of filing for Social Security disability, the conflict between simultaneously claiming to be incapable of "Substantial Gainful Activity" (SGA), which generally translates to full-time work, and contractually agreeing that you're willing to accept full-time work (under state unemployment regulations) in exchange for unemployment compensation, may result in being denied disability status (most initial claims and first appeals are denied, anyway). If you persist with the disability claim and proceed to a hearing before an Administrative Law Judge (ALJ), it will take approximately 18 months to two years from the date you originally filed the claim until your hearing date. By then, your unemployment compensation will (probably) have been exhausted and you will either have been forced to accept employment (thus ending your disability claim for all practical purposes) or will continue to be unemployed or be under-employed. This may be a factor in the judge's decision to award or deny disability, but it will not necessarily prevent you from receiving disability benefits. The disability determination process is usually long, and should not be viewed as a way of generating quick cash. You may want to consult with a disability attorney before taking action.
Can you collect unemployment benefits at the same time as disability benefits?
Yes, if you're referring to Social Security Disability (SSDI) or Supplemental Security Income (SSI) benefits, you can receive disability and unemployment compensation if you c…an meet the eligibility requirements of both programs. A few states, such as Illinois, Louisiana, South Dakota (until fund increases), Virginia (until fund increases), and Utah apply an offset of 50% for people receiving both social security benefits and unemployment compensation. This means your weekly unemployment check is reduced by 50% of the weekly value of your Social Security Disability (SSDI) check. [Minnesota applies a 50% offset only for people who began receiving disability benefits after their work separation. Supplemental Security Income (SSI) is not counted as income for offset purposes.] While federal law and the Social Security Administration don't prohibit people on disability from receiving unemployment checks, state unemployment regulations require all unemployment recipients to be actively seeking, willing and able to accept suitable work (comparable to previous employment or something appropriate to your skill set). This may creates a conflict if the unemployment commission in your state requires you to find full-time work, because you're generally not eligible for Social Security disability benefits if you're capable of full-time work. When you file for unemployment compensation, all states require you to provide your Social Security number (authorized under Internal Revenue Code of 1954, 26 U.S.C. 85, Sections 6011(a), 6050(b), 6109(a), P.L. 98-369, Section 1137(a)(1)). They will share information about your claim with other government agencies to determine how unemployment affects other benefits you may receive, such as Medicaid and food stamps. Under most state unemployment statutes, you must be ready, willing and able to accept employment, be actively seeking work, and must accept any reasonable employment offer for which you are qualified (unless there are legitimate, extenuating circumstances for refusing the offer), or your unemployment compensation can (and probably will) be terminated. If you are physically incapable of doing qualifying work under your state unemployment agreement, the state may consider you ineligible for benefits, or may consider your claim fraudulent if they later discover you're too disabled to fulfill your contractual agreement. Under these circumstances, you will be terminated from unemployment and may be required to repay any compensation you received. Private Insurance You may or may not be able to collect both if receiving disability payments from a private insurance policy. Check the provisions of your contract, or contact your insurance agent for more information.
Can you collect unemployment while on short-term disability?
Generally you can't collect unemployment while disabled because you have to be ready, willing AND able to go to work immediately for full time. Disability makes that impossibl…e, in most cases. If the time frame and every thing else applies, you might after the disability ends.
Can a person collect long term disability benefits while on social security disability in IL?
The state you live in will not impact your eligibility to receive Disability benefits from a Long-Term disability policy. Therefore, Yes you are able to collect Long-Term Disa…bility (LTD) benefits while receiving Social Security (SS) benefits. To be more specific though, whether or not you actually receive benefits from your LTD policy will have everything to do with the wording in the contract. If you have group coverage through work, then it is likely that any benefits you receive from Social Security will offset the benefits payable through your LTD plan dollar-for-dollar. In this situation, even though you are able to receive LTD from your company policy, you may not actually receive any from it if you are receiving Social Security benefits equivalent or higher than the monthly benefit it provides. The same consequences apply for Federal Government employees as through the FERS program. Additionally, if you own an individual policy that has Social Insurance offset benefits, then theses benefits will also be offset dollar-for-dollar. If you own an individual LTD policy that does not have Social Insurance benefits than you would be able to collect on Social Security benefits and 100% of the benefits provided through your LTD policy. This is actually one of the main reasons why individual LTD coverage is much better than group coverage.
Can I collect unemployment and disability benefits at the same time in Iowa?
Yes, it's legal to collect both unemployment and social security disability benefits in Iowa if you qualify under both programs, but you must be willing and able to work and b…e actively seeking suitable employment. If you were collecting disability benefits while working part-time before losing your job, there is no conflict. You are not eligible for unemployment compensation during any week you're unable to work, whether due to disability or another reason, unless your work search is waived. Iowa grants waivers to people who expect to be recalled by their employer within a certain period of time, and to those participating in an approved educational or vocational training program.
In Business Law
Can you get unemployment after your short term disability runs out?
In NJ and other states like NJ, in order to qualify for unemployment benefits, you must meet all of the following four criteria: 1. Must be unemployed or working less tha…n full time because of no fault of your own, (so for example if you were fired for misconduct or you quit, you may not qualify for benefits); AND 2. You have to be able and available to work; AND 3. You must be actively looking for work; AND 4. You must have worked at least twenty (20) weeks OR earned at least $7150 in the last eighteen (18) months for an employer that pays unemployment taxes. > Hence, if you are disabled which means you are NOT able to work, you would not meet 2. and thus would not qualify for unemployment benefits.
In Unemployment
Can you collect unemployment benefits while on short term disability in PA?
Disability insurance and unemployment insurance do different things. Disability insurance replaces your income in case you are sick or injured and unable to perform …your work duties. Private companies provide this coverage in PA. Unemployment insurance replaces your income if you lose your job. This is a state program. If you are disabled and your employer terminates your position, you may be able to collect unemployment. Second opinion: No because first of all you're already getting money and second you're going back to work so they won't grant you it
In Unemployment
Can you collect unemployment benefits after disability benefits?
This depends on the state's criteria for both, history (and thus qualifications) of the work period, length of time of the disability payments, and time left in the benefit ye…ar to collect unemployment.
In Missouri
Can you collect short term disability from Missouri while going through chemo?
Missouri does not have state short term disability coverage. If you have a private policy, a cancer diagnosis will probably be covered if your doctor indicates you a…re too sick to work.
In Texas Law
Can a person work as an independent contractor while collecting unemployment benefits in Texas as long as it is reported and does not exceed the benefit amount?
Yes, you can. Refer to the article "How will part time work affect my payments" in the related Link below.

I started taking Suboxone to help with my chronic pain problems (Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Crps, Fibro) a while ago in CA which were prescribed to me by my pain management doctor as an alternative to what I had been taking. It is very effective for me. I need to find a Pain Management Doctor here, in Oregon, that can write prescriptions for it. I have called all of the doctors listed on the Suboxone Web Site and am told that either they don't priscribe it, the doctor is not taking anymore patients on for a minimum of a year who want/need it, or they are detox clinics or Psychiatrists. I am on Disability and SSI but do not have any other insurance at this time except Medicare Parts A, B, and D. I am also on Lyrica, Soma, Baclophen, Trazadone, and Ambien CR. I need blocks on occasion as well as rhyzotomies (sp.), and of course there will be further surgeries down the line (I've had a total of 56 in my 43 yr. life), but I am avoiding them like the plague now. Can anyone help me find a Pain Management/Anystheseliogist Doctor in the Northern-ish part of Oregon or Southern Washington who can cover all of the above issues? I'm desperate to find one who really can cover everything.
If you are interested in Suboxone and how well it helps, please feel free to ask. It really has made a difference for me in respect to reducing my daily chronic pain level at an exceptable and consistant level. Clearly, however, it's not easy to find a pain management doctor in Oregon, even Portland, who actually is licensed to prescribe it. You would think, that especially when dealing with patients who have chronic pain issues and who mostly end up eventually needing heavier and heavier narcotics and even pumps, that the pain management patients and physicians would want to find alternatives!
Thank you very much for taking the time to review and respond to this!READ MORE

The Twitter account for the Pasadena City College student newspaper, the Courier, was hacked early Monday morning.
Tweets filled with updates and information about the latest happenings on PCC campus gave way around 9 a.m. to a handful of explicit tweets, mostly about drug use. The Twitter account's display photo of the Courier logo was replaced with a photo of Black and Mild cigars, several hundred dollars in cash and what appeared to be marijuana.
"Apologies, the Courier's Twitter account has obviously been hacked. We are working to fix this," the Courier tweeted just before 10 a.m. Some PCC students and officials said they didn't see the tweets, which had no responses from the account's 372 followers before being pulled.
Courier editor Christine Michaels said the only people who should have the newspaper's Twitter password are Courier staff members, and the password was probably leaked.
"We don't know who got into it," Courier editor Christina Michaels said. "We already have limited access in place."
She added that the Courier is not going to involve school officials.
"We took our measures already to be extra cautious," Michaels said. "Now we're just going to limit access, and we changed the password."
PCC's wireless usage policy, in compliance with state and federal laws, prohibits hacking. According to the PCC wireless Internet policy, the college is not responsible for information compromised or computer damage caused due to electrical surges, security issues, viruses or hacking.

A Neolithic grave in Guernsey could be half-buried in soil and grassed-over to preserve it. Guernsey Museums and Art Galleries has asked for planning permission to conduct the work in Delancey Park and put up an information sign.
States Archaeologist Dr Philip de Jersey said the Neolithic gallery grave was the only example of its type found in Guernsey, and that covering part of the stones would hopefully protect them. He said other Neolithic graves in the island tended to be passage graves with a wider chamber.
The grave was discovered and excavated in 1919, 1932 and in the summers from 2009-2011. Dr de Jersey said: "It's collapsed, the capstones have long since vanished and what we have now are just the prop stones along each side, which have all fallen over in the past few thousand years." Archaeologist Dr George Nash, who led the most recent work, recommended the site should be enhanced and marked as one of educational value.
