Now that the Olympics are over, are you ready for some baseball?
The first pitch by a Mets hurler in an exhibition game will take place against the Atlanta Braves around 1:10 p.m. March 2 in Port St. Lucie. However, Mother Nature might have something to say about it as the forecast calls for thunderstorms and wind.
In any event, here are some news tidbits to get you by:
Settling on a setup man is still a big question as frontrunner Kelvim Escobar is still having issues with his right shoulder. Meanwhile, Francisco Rodriguez's pink eye hasn't gotten better.
It's all over sports news, but Jose Reyes talked with federal investigators about doctor Anthony Galea, who is accused of selling an unapproved drug. It's an interesting story, because Galea treated others, including Tiger Woods and Alex Rodriguez.
Daniel Murphy is feeling confident about playing first base as he was the only position player to show up for the minicamp in January. Here's The Associated Press story:
PORT ST. LUCIE, Fla. – Murphy heard bits and pieces about the New York Mets' offseason from friends and family, focusing on whether the club would add another first baseman.
Murphy, himself, didn't pay too much attention to it. He just did what he usually does over the winter.
"My job every offseason is to try to put myself in the best shape I can going into spring training," he said Sunday. "I treat every offseason the same. Going into spring training, I've got to win a job."
That job is more secure this spring, with Murphy penciled in to be New York's regular first baseman. It's quite a change from last year, when he started the season in left field before taking over at first when Carlos Delgado went down with a right hip injury.
While slick-fielding Mark Teixeira was helping the crosstown Yankees win the World Series, Murphy struggled with the position. He committed 10 errors in 101 games at first, including a flubbed grounder that handed a win to Atlanta in September.
Now sure of his spot, Murphy changed his offseason workout routine to prepare for the job. He also got some fielding lessons from 11-time Gold Glove first baseman Keith Hernandez right before spring training started.
"Keith was great. He added a lot of things to first base I hadn't ever really thought of, some things to work on," Murphy said. "The biggest thing I thought was just getting to know your other infielders."
Murphy impressed the Mets with his progress when he was the only position player to attend a team minicamp in January, and has looked more comfortable in the field since regular camp started.
The Mets monitored Delgado over the winter, added Mike Jacobs with a minor league deal and re-signed Fernando Tatis, but manager Jerry Manuel has been consistent this spring that Murphy is the starter.
"I do see him as being a good first baseman," Manuel said, talking about Murphy's fielding ability. "Everything he does, he's going to work to get it done and I think that's going to be adequate. I think it's going to be more than adequate for what we need."
Murphy also had some difficulties at the plate last year after hitting .313 in 49 games as a rookie in 2008. He was down to .234 last season after an 0-for-3 night in Baltimore on June 16, but he picked it up from there.
The Jacksonville native, who turns 25 on April 1, hit .282 the rest of the way, connecting for eight of his team-leading 12 homers. He also finished with 38 doubles, showing signs he may be able to take advantage of Citi Field's expansive power alleys even if he may never be a big-time slugger like Delgado.
"The goal in New York is to win, so it's not just the way I play first base or how I can play compared to some of the other guys that come through — some great players," Murphy said. "At the end of the day I've got to find a way to help this team win."

Market segmentation
You will need to look in several places to see what's available for your company. Here are my tips:
Business Source Premier: search strategic planning in the SU field, and the company name in the CO field. To broaden results, search only on the company name or use the term strateg* without specifiying a field. Experiment with other terms (e.g., interviews, new products).
ABI/INFORM Complete: choose the DATA & REPORTS tab at the top of the screen. Then enter your company name in one box enter a term like "market segmentation" or "segment size" in the second box.

STOURBRIDGE skaters and BMX riders are invited to help shape the town's new skate park before work on the planned state-of-the-art facility gets off the ground.
Former cycling champion Gavin Pardoe aims to turn an empty warehouse in Mill Race Lane into a new mecca for skaters, BMX-ers and scooter riders from across the region and beyond.
The new urban recreation centre, which will be called Unit3sixty, will be run as a social enterprise and will feature a world championship standard indoor skate park with the latest ramps, rails and jumps; an intermediate level skate park for BMX-ers, skateboarders and scooter riders; a mini balance bike course for two to five-year-olds, a cafe and viewing gallery.
But before ramp building begins – Mr Pardoe, a Stourbridge firefighter and former national time trial competitor, is holding a consultation with young Stourbridge skateboarders on Tuesday February 4 to ensure the park meets with their approval.
The get together will take place at 6.30pm at the 22,000 square foot unit (bays 5 and 6 in block F on The Stourbridge Estate), which Mr Pardoe and his team aim to transform into one of the biggest and best skate parks in the country.
He said: "We want Stourbridge skaters to come along and discuss the layout for the park and we're hoping to elect one or two spokespeople to act on behalf of the group to collate information and we'll feedback designs to ramp builder. Nothing's been finalised yet."
Further meetings to seek the views of other park users will also take place on Tuesday February 11 - for inline skaters, Tuesday February 18 - for scooter riders, and Wednesday February 26 - for BMX riders. All consultation meetings will start at 6.30pm.
Planning approval has yet to be granted for the facility but it has already won support from the town's MP Margot James and deputy leader of Dudley Council - councillor Pete Lowe - and to date Mr Pardoe has received pledges of £135,000 (£60,000 from Dudley Council's community forums and community enterprise fund and £75,000 from Charity Bank) to launch the project.

The World Wide Web is often dubbed this generation's wild, Wild West. It's a raucous, freewheeling digital expanse rife with every vice imaginable. And like the frontier, the Web is a showcase for an emerging society with its own ideas, goals and morals.
In the pioneering days of yesteryear, men who chose to run for office often traveled the nation by train on whistle-stop tours. In the virtual Wild West, where sex and piracy are still kings, the wooly Web has nonetheless emerged as a pivotal theater in which candidates for office must battle.
The Web is both the small-town train depot and a platform for candidates to gain national exposure - even if the limelight is the last thing a candidate wants. Almost every modern office-seeker - regardless of the office sought - has taken advantage of the Web to some degree. On the national stage, the remaining candidates for U.S. president are investing millions of dollars in their digital campaigns. And on the local level, even city council candidates find that having a handle on Web trends, in particular Web 2.0, may mean the difference between being Wyatt Earp and staring down the business end of his pistol.
Grassroots Made Easy
As you may have heard, there are several people vying for the Oval Office. More than ever, the Web is a key component of the candidates' campaigns.
The Web has blossomed from a campaign novelty to an essential tool to reach voters. The difference during this election cycle for president is the advent of Web 2.0 applications; chief among these new applications are social networking sites, such as MySpace, Facebook and Flickr. By integrating these sites into their campaigns, presidential candidates create new avenues to reach voters.
Traditional campaign strategies - such as TV spots on broadcast networks - are labor- and cash-intensive and were consequently out of reach for most people who ran for local office. What makes Web 2.0 so attractive is that it's just as easy for a mayoral candidate to use as for a high-profile politician looking to move into the White House.
But for all the hoopla paid to campaigns and Web 2.0, one critical question remains: What exactly are candidates supposed to do with these tools? Barack Obama's Web site, for example, features 16 different links to social networking sites. Some of them are broadly known, such as Digg and LinkedIn. Others target specific demographics, such as FaithBase, BlackPlanet and AsianAve. Obama uses each of these sites to deliver a message tailored to a niche audience. The sites also serve as easy ways for voters to connect with the candidate and feel like they're part of the campaign.
John McCain's site, meanwhile, uses a different strategy. Instead of a roundup of social networking sites, McCain's team invested more heavily in blogs and video. His appearances on television can be easily accessed, and supporters can add videos to their blogs via a tool called McCain TV, where bloggers and webmasters copy a few lines of code into their own sites and help spread the candidate's video messages.
Another interactive feature common to both Obama and McCain is a widget that enables online donations. This is yet another tool that works just as well for the

These articles concerned an aspect of the human evolution scenarios which is the subject of fierce debate amongst evolutionists.
The article "Out of Africa" was written by Ian Tattersall, curator in the Department of Anthropology of the American Museum of Natural History in New York City. In his article he produced the scenario whereby modern man emerged in Africa and replaced other humans by spreading from there to Asia and Europe.
In the second article, Alan Thorne and Milford Wolpoff, prominent exponents of the "multiregional evolution theory," suggested that all human beings in the present day live in the place where their ancestors lived.
Despite putting forward differing views regarding the spread of human beings through the world, these articles were actually based on the same foundations. The authors accept the theory of evolution unquestioningly, and repeat the dogma that human beings evolved from ape-like creatures. No evidence was offered in support of these views. All that happened was that fictitious scenarios concerning certain variations of Australopithecus, an extinct species of ape, and Homo erectus, a true human being, were put forward again. (For the invalidity of these scenarios, see Darwinism Refuted by Harun Yahya, Goodword Publishers, 2003; http://www.darwinismrefuted.com)
However, these articles in the pages of Scientific American contain important scientific errors. That is because although the fossil record on which they depend is, as Tattersall admits, "admittedly imperfect," neither article contains any reference to "uncertainty" regarding evolution. Scenarios based on an imperfect fossil record are naturally dubious. Yet the authors deliberately conceal this and portray evolution as if were a scientific fact; since they are bound by materialist dogma they accept evolution right from the start and interpret fossils, albeit few in number, in the light of their own preconceptions. Scientific American has thus given its readers not a consistent theory based on scientific foundations, but rather a blindly-believed in fairy tale.
In fact, the fossil record contains nothing which has been shown to be the ancestor of human beings. Richard C. Lewontin, Alexander Agassiz Professor of Zoology and Professor of Biology at Harvard University, describes this situation by saying:
"When we consider the remote past, before the origin of the actual species Homo sapiens, we are faced with a fragmentary and disconnected fossil record. Despite the excited and optimistic claims that have been made by some paleontologists, no fossil hominid species can be established as our direct ancestor…"
We call on Scientific American to abandon its portrayal of speculative claims as scientific fact and its blind support of the theory of evolution.
"The Recent African Genesis of Humans"
This article dealt with the thesis known as "Mitochondrial Eve." Written by Rebecca L. Cann and Allan C. Wilson, the article maintained that all human beings alive today are descended from a single woman who lived in Africa some 200,000 years ago.
However, the claims made in the article have no scientific validity to them, because the mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) analyses on which the assumptions are based are erroneous.
This method, widely used among evolutionary geneticists, as a so-called scientific method employed in researching so-called evolutionary history. One important assumption of this method is that mitochondrial DNA is handed down from generation to generation in the female line only. The fact is though, that concrete evidence has emerged in recent years that this is not always the case: because mitochondrial DNA can sometimes partially be acquired from the father.
The increasing evidence that mitochondrial DNA can be passed on by the father has led researchers to question the validity of their analyses and warn their colleagues. Philip Awadalla, Adam Eyre-Walker and John Maynard Smith have issued the following warning in an article published in Science magazine:
"Many inferences about the pattern and tempo of human evolution and mtDNA evolution have been based on the assumption of clonal inheritance. These inferences will now have to be reconsidered."
Another article concerning this report in the same issue of the magazine contained the following comment:
"Such recombination could be a blow for researchers who have used mtDNA to trace human evolutionary history and migrations. They have assumed that the myDNA descends only through the mother, so they could draw a single evolutionary tree of maternal descent-all the way back to an African "mitochondrial Eve," for example. But "with recombination there is no single tree" notes Harpending. Instead, different parts of the molecule have different histories. Thus "there"s not one woman to whom we can trace our mitochondria" says Eyre-Walker.
Another blow to the mitochondrial Eve thesis came in an article published in the August 2002 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. Published above the names of Marianne Schwartz and John Vissing, the paper, titled "Paternal Inheritance of Mitochondrial DNA," reported that a 28-year-old patient had received 90% of his mtDNA from his father.
The British New Scientist news service stressed the effect of this discovery on estimates based on mtDNA analyses, as below:
Evolutionary biologists often date the divergence of species by the differences in genetic sequences in mitochondrial DNA. Even if paternal DNA is inherited very rarely, it could invalidate many of their findings.
It is an evident scientific fact that the assumption that mtDNA is transmitted only through the mother has been demolished. This means that all the evolutionist assumptions based on mtDNA sequences are invalid.
So why is it that Scientific American still makes room in its pages for these outdated theses? Why is the Mitochondrial Eve theses still published despite having no validity? Scientific American"s attitude is of course not a scientific one. In fact, it is totally psychological. One indication that it is more psychologically-based comes from an interesting character, the influential evolutionist John Maynard Smith.
Maynard Smith is one of those researchers who has offered results along the lines of those discussed above, that mtDNA is not transmitted solely through the mother.
The June 14, 2003, issue of New Scientist, which carried out an interview with him, contained the following words:
"But despite his huge influence, all the honours, citations and textbook references, Maynard Smith is still challenging the status quo. In 1999, he and his colleagues published evidence that mitochondrial DNA undergoes recombination - mitochondria from your father and mother can swap genetic material. It may sound obscure, but if they are right it casts doubt on all the research that uses mtDNA as a molecular clock to unravel evolutionary history, including the dating of our oldest common ancestor, "Mitochondrial Eve."
Maynard Smith is frustrated but not surprised that the establishment chooses to ignore his findings."
"The establishment." That is indeed the problem. These people play a key role in research, or rather assumptions, into the origin of living things. They use mtDNA analyses as a kind of jumping board. These people take mtDNA from every living thing they choose and find examples of nucleotide sequences. They then use every kind of DNA they collect in order to speculate about so-called evolutionary ancestors and engage in media propaganda. This is an international Darwinist team. These peoples" continuous "common ancestor" studies are an effective vehicle of Darwinist propaganda. Now, however, as we have seen above, it has been scientifically proven that this vehicle is based on invalid assumptions. Yet evolutionary geneticists ignore this. The psychological factor behind Scientific American"s unscientific attitude has finally been revealed: Scientific American"s devotion to Darwinism stems not from the fact that the theory of evolution is a powerful theory backed up by scientific proof, but rather from a blind devotion to materialist dogma. The "mitochondrial Eve" article demonstrates that Scientific American refuses to abandon that blind devotion, no matter what the scientific findings reveal.
An Accurate Assessment about Palaeontology
Another important piece of information in the article "The Recent African Genesis of Humans" in Scientific American was an accurate assessment on the subject of the methods used in palaeontology. The authors of the article offered the following assessment of evolutionist palaeontologists, despite the scientific nature of the analytical methods in their own evaluations being erroneous:
"Fossils cannot, in principle, be interpreted objectively: the physical characteristics by which they are classified necessarily reflect the models the paleontologists wish to test. If one classifies, say, a pelvis as human because it supported an upright posture, then one is presupposing that bipedalism distinguished early hominids from apes. Such reasoning tends to circularity. The paleontologist"s perspective therefore contains a built-in bias that limits its power of observation."
This criticism is justified, and portraying extinct species of ape as hominid (human-like) reveals the error in the tendency to adapt them to evolutionist scenarios. We call on evolutionist palaeontologists not to fall into the trap of circular reasoning and on evolutionist geneticists to cease producing theories based on mtDNA analyses. That is because neither approach is scientific, and both are prejudiced.
When they look objectively at the scientific facts, they too will see that the origin of life lies in "intelligent design."0000-00-00 00:00:00

No one else having this issue? No ideas?
-Dell DW1501-Linksys WUSB54G v.4-Software
After i start up BT4 R1 from a persistent USB install i can connect to my wifi just fine but after i disconnect i cant reconnect to the AP, it hangs at Obtaining IP and eventually fails. If i wanna connect again, i gotta restart.
Any ideas?, not sure if it exactly a bug or if its something on my end

I'm having the same issue with my HWUG1 which uses rt73usb. I have no clue where to begin to troubleshoot the issue.
the WICD forums had loads of threads full of similar issues and they all had something in common,
There was no solution and all the threads are at least a year old. Many of the threads said it was a software issue, but im assuming it was taken care of.
And my wireless was flawless in BT4 now with R1 its just getting frustrating, kinda running out of ideas

I'm on a sat.pro L300 and have begun to have similar problems. At first I couldn't connect with my user account (running wicd sudo) so I logged-out and back into root. Things were fine until I shut down for the night. Next day root was having problems ( had made no updates, either). Came back into my user account and everything has been working great since then. (Except for airodump-ng. Can't get it to work but I think that's another thread.) I know I haven't given any solutions but maybe the feedback can help somehow.
I have similar issue with bt 4 r1
no connection to hidden AP (FRITZ!Box Fon WLAN 7112) with WPA2 CCMP:
* with wicd ("bad password")
* with wpa_supplicant (Authentication timed out)
by iwlagn and rt77usb (Intel 4965agn and ralink usb rt2573 cards)
surprisingly, if I change AP settings to unhidden, it connects with both methods but only for some seconds (or minute) and then

Shiites lash out as bombing kills 81
QUETTA, Pakistan — Members of the Pakistani Shiite Hazara community on Sunday threatened to hold widespread protests if the government did not arrest within 48 hours the people responsible for a bombing that killed 81 people in a southwestern city.
Saturday's blast at a produce market in Quetta underlined the precarious situation for Shiites living in a majority Sunni country where many extremist groups don't consider them real Muslims. Some 160 people were wounded in the blast.
Most of the dead and wounded were Hazaras, an ethnic group that migrated from Afghanistan more than a century ago.
Shiite Muslims, including Hazaras, have often been targeted by Sunni extremists in Baluchistan province, of which Quetta is the capital, as well as in the southern city of Karachi and northwestern Pakistan.
The vice chairman of the Hazara Democratic Party, a political group representing Hazaras, said Sunday that the party was giving the government 48 hours to find those responsible for the attack and arrest them.
"Otherwise, the Hazara community will start a protest in Pakistan and the world over," said Azizullah Hazara.
Graves had been dug but at least 60 of the dead from the Saturday evening blast still hadn't been buried Sunday evening. Religious and community leaders were set to meet Monday morning to decide whether to bury their dead or to protest the bombing by refusing to bury the bodies as they did after a similar attack in January.
After 86 people died in that bombing, which hit a billiards hall, prompting Shiites to camp out in the street for four days alongside the coffins of their loved ones. Eventually the country's prime minister ordered a shake-up in the regional administration, putting the local governor in charge of the whole province.
"So far, we are not going home. We are not burying the dead," said Dawood Agha, a Shiite leader in Quetta.
The violence touched a chord among Pakistanis elsewhere in the country, with small-scale protests being held in Islamabad, Karachi and at least 12 other cities.
At the Islamabad rally, hundreds of Shiites and various civil rights groups demanded the government crackdown on the al-Qaida-linked militant group Lashkar-e-Jhangvi, which has claimed responsibility for the attack.
"We all know it is LeJ," said Hasan Raza, a Shiite activist. "We want the government to act now and take action against the terrorist group."
The large-scale attack comes as the government, headed by the Pakistan People's Party, is preparing for elections this spring, and it adds to the widespread perception that the government has done little to improve security or the economy during its five-year tenure.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The chairman of the Senate Judiciary Committee says the time has come to pass comprehensive immigration legislation with a pathway to citizenship for the nation's 11 million illegal immigrants.
Democratic Sen. Patrick Leahy of Vermont made the comments as he opened the Senate's first hearing of the year on immigration. It came a day after President Barack Obama used his State of the Union address to renew his call for sweeping immigration legislation.
The emotion surrounding the issue quickly became clear in the packed Senate hearing room as shouting protesters interrupted the first witness, Homeland Security Secretary Janet Napolitano, calling for an end to deportations.
The protesters were taken out. Napolitano said the border has never been more secure.

In the World of Greyhawk campaign setting for the Dungeons & Dragons role-playing game, Ralishaz is the god of chance, ill luck, misfortune, and insanity. His holy symbol is three sticks of bone.
Ralishaz's appearance constantly shifts and changes, from beautiful to hideous, male to female, etc.
Ralishaz shuns the other gods, although he doesn't appear to harbor any hatred for them.
Ralishaz proclaims that order does not exist, only random chance. Insane people are the ones who are most in tune with the true nature of the universe.
Ralishaz's clerics tend to display fatalism and stoicism mixed with recklessness and wild endeavor. They see little point in being kind to anyone, since that person will eventually be cursed with bad luck.
Temples and ritualsEdit
Ralishaz's church is prevalent in Ull and the Bandit Kingdoms.
Worship services to Ralishaz include playing semi-random notes on musical instruments, babbling paeans, casting augury spells, and wild interplays of light and darkness, heat and cold, noise and quiet.

In an impassioned Senate floor speech in August, Kerry compared the potential peril from climate change to the threat of war. "I believe that the situation we face [with climate change] is as dangerous as any of the sort of real crises that we talk about" in Iran, Syria, and other trouble spots, he said.
He has taken plenty of heat for that view from Republicans, many of whom question the science of human-caused climate change, scoff at any link to national security, and say that solving global warming is the wrong priority for the nation's chief diplomat. But defense and intelligence officials say the link between climate change and national security is clear, dangerous, and urgent—and a raft of national security experts say it's high time the nation's top foreign policy official treated it as such. ….
Around the globe, climate change contributes to rising sea levels, more-intense drought, and food and water scarcity. Already, swaths of land in Africa and the Middle East have become too barren to support crops, and scientists warn far worse is to come as the globe continues to heat up in the coming century. …
The question, however, is what the chief U.S. diplomat can actually do about climate change. Although no single official, or nation, can solve the problem alone, Kerry will be uniquely positioned to broker action through diplomacy. In France in 2015, the world's nations are set to sign a global treaty that would legally bind them to cut their global-warming pollution. Much of the world views the success of the treaty as largely resting in American hands. If the United States acts to cut its carbon emissions—either through legislation or, as seems far more likely, through Obama's use of executive authority and regulations issued by the Environmental Protection Agency—the country will be well positioned to broker a global climate deal.

It has often been observed that investors can make more money by buying shares in fund management companies than by buying their funds.
On this basis, Affiliated Managers Group, a US quoted company with $231bn under management, could be a particularly good investment. It holds stakes in a range of asset management boutiques, taking a share of revenues in return. Today, it revealed a deal with Artemis Investment Management, the UK-based fund manager that has passed through the hands of ABN Amro and Fortis Investments (now a subsidiary of BNP Paribas).

Pope Benedict XVI has said (24 April 2005), "We are not some casual and meaningless product of evolution." This did not please the atheist-minded scientists in our society, who maintain with vehemence that we are as Richard Dawkins asserts: "The universe we observe has precisely the properties we should expect if there is, at bottom, no design, no purpose, no evil and no good, nothing but blind pitiless indifference."
But before you get too excited, only this week The Time of London, 5 October 2005 (Ruth Gledhill, Religion Correspondent) reports the catholic church has warned people they should not expect the Bible to be trustworthy: "The hierarchy of the Roman Catholic Church has published a teaching document instructing the faithful that some parts of the Bible are not actually true. The Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland are warning their five million worshippers, as well as any others drawn to the study of scripture, that they should not expect "total accuracy" from the Bible.
"We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision," they say in The Gift of Scripture. The document is timely, coming as it does amid the rise of the religious Right, in particular in the US. Some Christians want a literal interpretation of the story of creation, as told in Genesis, taught alongside Darwin's theory of evolution in schools, believing "intelligent design" to be an equally plausible theory of how the world began. But the first 11 chapters of Genesis, in which two different and at times conflicting stories of creation are told, are among those that this country's Catholic bishops insist cannot be "historical". At most, they say, they may contain "historical traces".
The document shows how far the Catholic Church has come since the 17th century, when Galileo was condemned as a heretic for flouting a near-universal belief in the divine inspiration of the Bible by advocating the Copernican view of the solar system. Only a century ago, Pope Pius X condemned Modernist Catholic scholars who adapted historical-critical methods of analysing ancient literature to the Bible."
Editorial Comment: The biggest flaw in such catholic theology, whether it be in dealing with Galileo or evolution is also seen in many Protestant churches. Church leaders read (and teach) the scriptures only in the light of whatever the current popular most acceptable view of the world is, usually the one they bowed the knee to in order to get their Ph.D. In all these areas those of us who are teachers must remember the New Testament injunction that Teachers will be judged (by the Creator) more strictly (James 3:1), i.e. for our own errors, and for the errors we teach others to believe.

It can start innocently; as a headache or a sudden feeling of fatigue. Before you know it, joints begin to hurt and the sun never seemed so bright. These are just a few symptoms of Lupus.
The painfully cruel and mysterious auto-immune disease is getting some much-needed attention after the death of Sasha McHale, the 23 year-old daughter of Houston Rockets Head Coach Kevin McHale.
When she died Saturday, many people were left wondering - What is Lupus?
"It's when your own immune system attacks the body," Houston-based Rheumatologist Dr. Francis Williams explained. "Depending on which part of the body, it can be the skin, the heart, the lungs, the kidneys, It can be relatively minor to very serious."
And in some cases, deadly.
"The hardest thing (about Lupus) is that it's invisible," Dixie Swanson said. "If you look at me, you'd think I was perfectly well."
Dixie Swanson was a pediatrician and a Local 2 Health Reporter in 1992, when one day she started feeling unusually fatigued.
"And I was having pain all over my body," Swanson said. "Various joints would hurt and I thought, 'That was strange.' As things began to add up, I went to see a rheumatologist and she diagnosed me. Lupus rather rudely yanked me out of my life."
Lupus ultimately ended Swanson's medical and television career, but not her life. Twenty years after her diagnosis, Swanson is now an author and advocate of Lupus awareness.
"Not many people know about Lupus," Swanson said. "And if they do, they have a very vague idea of what it is because it's kind of a vague illness."
A recent survey conducted by the Lupus Foundation of America showed that Lupus awareness is lowest in the age group of 18 to 34, the highest risk for the disease.
It affects about 1.5 million people, mostly those with darker colored skin but almost always (90%) women between the ages of 15-44. In Houston, more than 30,000 people are affected by the non-contagious yet incurable disease.
Although Sasha McHale's death is extremely tragic, it has raised awareness. Since news of her death, Lupus Foundation of America officials said traffic on its website has more than doubled.

NIJ seeks proposals from States and units of local government for funding to identify, review, and investigate "violent crime cold cases" that have the potential to be solved using DNA analysis, and to locate and analyze the biological evidence associated with these cases. Experience has shown that cold case programs can solve a substantial number of violent crime cold cases, including homicides and sexual assaults. Advances in DNA technologies have substantially increased the successful DNA analysis of aged, degraded, limited, or otherwise compromised biological evidence. As a result, crime scene samples once thought to be unsuitable for testing may now yield DNA profiles. Additionally, samples that previously generated inconclusive DNA results may now be successfully analyzed.

No sooner do I wrap up Ni No Kuni, but another PS3 exclusive I've been wanting comes out!
I just wanted to point this out to anyone who owns a PS3 and, more specifically, are fans of the series. It's as good as Sly 1-3 mechanically, though I don't think the new writers are quite as good as those at Sucker Punch (and if you don't think a franchise about cartoon animals can be well-written, you, me, and my English degree are going to have words out back).
However, the game is almost slavishly devoted to the mechanics and structure of the earlier titles (specifically Sly 2 and 3) which means that anyone who demands dramatic changes or updates need not apply. Also, the hacking minigames are back in full force, though they are thankfully a bit better this time around. Apparently the game was pitched to Sony after the devs made a prototype, and Sony accepted despite having no plans to make a Sly 4, so I, for one, cut them a little slack based on their clear fanboyish affection for the franchise. Also, my hat's off to Sony for not being assholes and just shutting them down.
Also in the game's favor is the fact that it is only $40, is a Vita crossbuy (as if that impresses anyone), and seems to have no hooks for nickel-and-dime DLC.
If you enjoyed the franchise in the past, this is as good a sequel as you could hope for. If you never played the series and are curious, start with the Sly HD collection, since at this point it provides much more content for a lower price.

WINTER PARK, Fla. –For just the seventh time in Saint Leo women's basketball history a Lions player has been selected to the All-Sunshine State Conference First Team—with Teresa Manigrasso earning the honors, it was announced Thursday from the conference office prior to the quarterfinal games of the women's basketball tournament in Kissimmee.
In addition to being a first team All-Sunshine State Conference selection, Manigrasso was also tabbed as the conference's Newcomer of the Year.
A transfer from St. Peters College, Manigrasso led Saint Leo with 15.5 points and 3.1 assists per game. She ranked fourth in the league in scoring while also shooting .811 from the free throw line—sixth best in the entire conference. The native of Atlantic Highlands, N.J. was ninth in the conference with 3.1 assists per game.
"Teresa has worked hard from the moment she stepped foot on our campus," Head Coach Nikki Jessee said. "She is very deserving of being selected All-Conference, and most certainly earned it. Congrats to her!"
Manigrasso was named Sunshine State Conference Player of the Week on Jan. 28 and followed up in the next game with a career-high 31 points at Nova Southeastern.
The 2012-13 year for the Lions has been one of the best seasons in women's basketball program history. At 7-9 in the Sunshine State Conference, the Lions have exceeded the program record for conference wins in a season.
Despite the success and the accolades—this team is hungry for more. The Lions will face off in the quarterfinals of the Sunshine State Conference Tournament against Lynn at 5:00 p.m. from the Silver Spurs Arena in Kissimmee, Fla.

Major Habitat Types
142 terrestrial, 53 freshwater, and 43 marine ecoregions
But the Global Ecoregions also include many others which, while equally valuable from a conservation standpoint, are less widely recognised. Some examples include the species-rich deserts of western Mexico, the extraordinarily diverse coral reefs of the Sulu Sea, and the forests of New Caledonia.
Not all the ecoregions included in the Global Ecoregions face the same level of threat. Some still contain large areas of intact habitat and present important opportunities for conservation. Others, having already lost much of their original habitat, require urgent action and efforts to restore them.
The aim of the Global Ecoregions analysis is to ensure that the full range of ecosystems is represented within regional conservation and development strategies, so that conservation efforts around the world contribute to a global biodiversity strategy.

I am working as an SEO Executive since 2+ years. I have a basic understanding about web development and also done courses in it.
I am struggling to make clear decisions about my career.
Can I choose either web developer or SEO professional career?
Which one is the best & Safe for the future and In which career can I earn sufficient to live?
Looking for your guidance.
You can be a web developer with SEO expertise.
I am a designer, but I have knowledge in SEO which helps me in my job.
From experience those only focused on SEO master short-term black hat techniques with instant results, this is why they need to keep on top of things, as their techniques are mostly frowned upon.
In terms of stability I would have to say web designer. SEO will eventually turn into something else. Just to highlight when I started coding websites as S.E.O. professional was completely different to today's S.E.O. guy. This change will not stop until S.E.O. as you know completely changes into a practice that designers and developers are aware of, rather than a 'secret' 'art form.
I strongly feel we've reached this day, and there is no need for an SEO professional.
yes obviously web deigning provides stable platform to grow but SEO is not dead , it differentiating in fields like online reputation management , strategic link builder , Lead generator through organic search .
So be focused and select your favorite work don't confuse in future scenarios.
SEO has changed so so much. The old-school SEO is dead. However, web development seams to have remained much unchanged. I LOVE SEO, however, I do feel you'd be challenged in keeping up with the times. It's one of those things I am guessing. When you say SEO I always think of the black-hat techniques of the early days.
Thanks for your precious suggestions.
So, Finally I decided to move to the web development as I almost well known about SEO and so much eager to learn web development as it doesn't change so frequently as SEO with more respectful and high earning choice.
Can someone guide me about - How to be perfect in PHP web development with less time period and grab a job?
I would definitely be Web Developer vs SEO. As a web developer, your skill will continually grow and you will become better at it. With SEO, it's so dynamic that all your knowledge might just vanish the next day.
There is no such thing as being "perfect" programmer. Not that I'm a PHP developer but I believe I can give general advice
I think those two tips are very good place to start.
web developer having knowledge about SEO is added advantage for him.knowing both is added amazing carrer.

More bargain-hunters are starting to appear. Today Barclays equity strategists Dennis Jose, Ian Scott and Joao Toniato went so far as to recommend buying Russia's Gazprom and Sberbank (along with China Shipping Development Co) to gain EM exposure.
Could emerging markets be the most-disliked region currently? They have been punished by investors, underperforming developed market equities by nearly 35% since Nov 2010, considerably worse than what would be suggested by their earnings (Figure 2). Amongst sellside analysts, a Bloomberg poll seems to indicate that few research houses recommend an
overweight on EM equities. From our meetings as well, we find most investors have little sympathy for our recent call to overweight EM equities
A few rather nice Barclays valuation charts after the break, plus some caution.

2012-2013 Season Wrapuptagbo | September 2, 2013
As the 2013-2014 soccer season begins, the Mebane Youth Soccer Association (MYSA) can look back at a successful 2012-2013 season. MYSA ended the 2012-2013 year on a high note with both the travel and recreational soccer programs growing in size. MYSA's commitment to long term player development continued to bear fruit with record numbers of players going on to play soccer at various colleges and universities.
MYSA travel teams had great success at end of year tournaments. The MYSA Revolution continued their domination of the Annual Seaside Classic Tournament with their third championship in a row. The MYSA Dynamo also won their division while the MYSA Hurricanes and Comets placed as Finalists and Semi-Finalists respectively.
The MYSA Inferno also claimed several successes at the end of the year. In addition to their Disney Showcase championship where they defeated the prestigious IMG Academy, they collected several awards and trophies. The Inferno finished second in their NCYSA Kepner Cup bracket while also bringing home the gold in the Julian Brown Memorial Cup and the ACC Hall of Champions Showcase. MYSA and the Inferno continued their tradition of player development with 7 players being selected to play college soccer.
MYSA players also achieved individual accolades. Several MYSA players were selected to be part of the North Carolina Youth Soccer Association's (NCYSA) Olympic Development Program (ODP). Two MYSA players helped North Carolina defeat South Carolina in the annual Clash of the Carolinas while MYSA was also represented in the North Carolina East-West All Star game. Jacob Mann, an MYSA player, was a member of the Premier UK Elite team that captured the US Club Soccer National U15 Premier Division Championship in Aurora, CO on July 20th.

Seattle Shopping
Seattleites are sometimes scorned for their fashion sense (polar fleece, sport sandals, and socks—oh my!), but as the city has grown and enough money has percolated through the ranks of retail, the city's style barometer has made a steady creep upward. Bibliophiles, foodies, wine aficionados, and design-centrists will also find plenty of shopping opportunities—Seattle is a hotbed of unique,
independent shops stocking one-of-a-kind treasures.
Shopping in Seattle is something best done gradually. Don't expect to find it all in one or two days worth of blitz shopping tours. Downtown is the only area that allows for easy daylong shopping excursions. Within a few blocks along 4th and 5th avenues, you'll find the standard chains (The Gap, Urban Outfitters, H&M, Anthropologie, Sephora, Old Navy), along with Nike's flagship store, and a few more glamorous high-end stores, some featuring well-known designers like Betsey Johnson. Downtown is also where you'll find department stores like Nordstrom, Macy's and Barneys New York. Belltown and Pioneer Square are also easy areas to patrol—most stores of note are within a few blocks.
To find many of the stores that are truly special to Seattle—such as boutiques featuring handmade frocks from local designers, independent record stores run by encyclopedic-minded music geeks, cozy used-book shops that smell of paper and worn wood shelves—you'll have to branch out to Capitol Hill, Queen Anne, and northern neighborhoods like Ballard. Shopping these areas will give you a better feel for the character of the city and its quirky inhabitants, all while you score that new dress or nab gifts for your friends.
And don't forget about Seattle's culinary bounty, which includes the stalls at Pike Place Market; the flagship Sur La Table, which stocks every kitchen gadget known to man; and the city's various weekly farmers' markets, where you'll find enough locally made, artisanal offerings to fill a suitcase or two.

HOUSTON - It's a decision just about all home buyers will face -- whether to buy a home warranty or take a pass. Having one can save you a lot of money, but only if you know exactly what's covered.
Homeowner Ernest Goss experienced something a lot of us in Texas can relate to. It was the middle of summer, 100 degrees outside and his air conditioning went out.
Goss had a warranty and it saved him a bundle.
"They came out, looked at it and said the whole unit was bad. I think $800 for a whole brand new air conditioner, install with all the fees covered," Goss said.
Goss's warranty covered the heating and cooling system. A good warranty will cover those items, as well as the heat pumps and duct work, plus the refrigerator, stove, garbage disposal and dishwasher.
Angie Hicks from Angie's List said essential plumbing coverage in any warranty should include electrical panels, wiring, drains and pipes.
"It's important to read the contract in its entirety. For example, maybe you have a plumbing issue that is inside the house. The warranty may cover it, but if it's the plumbing outside of your home it may not.
Hicks said the deductible for a good warranty should be no more than $100. Most warranty plans cost between $350 and $500 per year. Homeowners typically pay an additional $50 to $75 for each repair.
If you've got older appliances, a warranty could be well worth the cost. But, make sure the company includes an inspection so you know the condition of everything in your home before you sign.
That's what Ernest Goss did and it paid off.
"The warranty was for a year. I opted not to renew just because most of my other functions when I got my house inspected were all up to tip-top shape."
And the final essential for any home warranty is a 24-hour service line so you can reach someone immediately to get repairs started.

Hope they actually make a big change to the phone just hopping they don't make the screen bigger... 4" Is perfect
If they do make a phone that big. I can't imagine what apple can do with the hardware with all that room inside the phone
I hope they finally make a bigger phone. Not another taller one. That's just retarded. I'm waiting for the 6. Totally going to be worth it.
Bigger = Better!!
If you want a bigger screen, get an iPad mini with 3G. Save yourself a contract and use Skype for your main phone and buy a texting plan from Skype. Use iMessage for people who own iPhones. Also, Facebook message app is a great texting app for the price that Facebook charges.
Keep phones MOBILE! Games and videos should be watched on tablet sized screens or bigger.
I do like the 4" screen on iPhone 5. Much bigger I would just consider the option I stated above.
I'm thinking iPad Mini with Phone capabilities...
A mobile phone (also known as a cellular phone, cell phone and a hand phone) is a device that can make and receive telephone calls over a radio link while moving around a wide geographic area
A phone is for calling and texting people if you want read your things on a 12" screen go get a tablet and carry one of them around and dont say there 2 big because all you guys want is big things so get a 3G tablet or stop complaining about a screen that is only realy for communication.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- An Ohio trial in which a dying man's videotaped eye blinks are to be used as testimony against the man charged with murdering him is to begin Monday.
Thirty-four-year-old Ricardo Woods is accused of fatally shooting David Chandler on Oct. 28, 2010. Chandler was shot in the head and neck while sitting in a car in Cincinnati. Chandler was paralyzed from his injuries and could only communicate with his eyes when police interviewed him a few days after the shooting. He died 10 days later.
Authorities asked Chandler to blink three times for yes and twice for no in the videotaped interview.
Prosecutors say Chandler clearly identified Woods. The defense has insisted that the blinks weren't consistent or reliable.
Woods faces up to life in prison if convicted.
