It's horrible to know what people are capable of. Its so heartbreaking to watch whats happening on the news right now, it's making me quite sad. Horrible horrible world we live in
Most Helpful Guy
It is very sad but you should also try to keep seeing it in the correct relations. Every year, 3,2 million children under the age of 5 die of malnutrition. That's MORE than the WHOLE population of Paris in one single year (or about the population of the whole country of France in the last 20 years). That's about one child every 5 seconds. Now, I'm not saying that the current events in Paris aren't horrible but these kind of things tend to get blown out of proportion. Who ever talks about all other millions of people who die in a horrible way as well? One more example: 9/11 is to this day a trauma for the American people. Even now, 14 years later, it's talked about by normal people as well as the media on a regular basis. Yet, did you know that in the Iraq war, over HALF A MILLION innocent civilians were killed. That's about 150 times 9/11. Who ever talks about these people? Exactly, nobody.102|81|0
I completely agree with you on this. Although these events are tragic and they break my heart, many people dont pay attention to the other problems occuring in this world. No one makes huge deals out of them- there's no breaking news on it. Completely get it. It definitiely should be a more outspoken subject

Tech News on G4
Something for everyone: Killer Instinct, Zoo Tycoon
Dec 12, 2013
By John Powell - G4 Canada
back to -|- Tech News index -|- John Powell column archive
It really doesn't get any better than Judo chopping a foe in the face as a giant, slobbering, wolf, does it? Originally an arcade fighting game in the early nineties - Arcades? Remember those? – 'Killer Instinct' has been rescued from the musty video game vaults by Microsoft and has found a new home on the Xbox One.
Taking the best from both Mortal Kombat and Street Fighter, Instinct stands on its own as it puts the emphasis on combo and combo breakers. The best part for sluggish gamers like myself who cannot be bothered memorizing all those insane combos, there are automatic combos which only require a single press to pull off. With a sizeable bend in the learning curve, it sure does make rearranging someone's face so much easier.
The Combo Breakers, as they are called, are a cinch to execute as well. Just tap the correct button at the correct time and your foe experiences a humiliating fail, giving you an opening to open a can of whoop ass.
The best part of Killer Instinct on the Xbox One is it is free-to-play, sort of. It doesn't cost you any coin at all to download and you will have access to all game modes, a rotating free character to battle with. If you tire of the limited selection of playable characters, you can purchase other characters individually or throw down some dough for packs which contain more characters ranging from the afore-mentioned snarling wolf to a Native American warrior to a female spider-ninja butt kicker. In today's gaming marketplace, it's a great deal that sure doesn't put a stranglehold on your wallet.
Killer Instinct
Rating: 8 / 10
If you are looking to take a break from all of the martial arts mayhem, Zoo Tycoon for the Xbox One will lead you to calmer pastures.
A tested and true PC classic, the game has been updated for the Xbox One. Demented individuals like me though are no longer able to drown mascots, run over patrons with the zoo carts or unleash the animals on the unsuspecting public. A top-to-bottom kid-friendly title, Zoo Tycoon champions imaginative construction and animal harmony. Of course, it doesn't hurt the bottom line to squeeze every little penny out of those guileless patrons either by installing ice cream or souvenir stands.
With the profit you have made, you can expand your zoo, invest in advertising and marketing or procure some new animals and habitats. You can even hire staff to take care of all of those brainless tasks you just cannot be bothered with. The key though is keeping your customers happy and your animals healthy and content which could include challenges involving taking care of a sick animals or trying to firm up an endangered species.
The interaction available with the Kinect camera will surely bring smiles to the younger players who can experience everything from washing, feeding animals to playing games with them. It is actually those younger players who will get the most out of Zoo Tycoon whether it be learning about the animals themselves, overcoming the recurring tasks or much like Minecraft, sharing the experience with friends on Xbox Live. Due to the reprocessed missions and unsophisticated gameplay, adults may wish they were back in the Killer Instinct dojo rather than sweeping up after those darn chimpanzees.

A patent seems like a lot of work and expense, what if we just keep our invention a secret?
An invention that is kept secret is called a trade secret and is protected under the law against misappropriation. However, to sue for misappropriation, you must prove that you made diligent, proactive efforts to keep the invention secret, for example, utilizing confidentiality agreements and limiting access to your facilities. Also, you do not have an exclusive right to the invention meaning that someone else may independently develop or reverse engineer the invention. A patent, on the hand, requires full disclosure of your invention, but it also gives you the exclusive right your invention for 20 years from the filing date. You do not have to worry about breaches in confidentiality or others independently developing your process or product. Considering the expense of protecting a trade secret and the potential for independent invention by others, a patent may actually involve less work and be the more economical choice.
My new invention will be marketed heavily in Japan. Can I file a patent application overseas before filing in the U.S.?
You will need a Foreign Filing License (FFL) to file a patent application outside the United States. The FFL is a type of export license. You can seek an FFL prior to filing a patent application outside the U.S. However, a simple way to obtain an FFL is to file your patent application in the U.S. before filing outside the U.S. Soon after the new patent application is filed in the U.S., it will be reviewed for granting of an FFL. While patent applications on most technologies are granted FFLs, applications on technologies that might affect national security (such as munitions, certain chemicals, and biological materials) may be denied an FFL.
How can I tell if my idea for a new product is patentable?
To obtain a U.S. patent, your invention must meet certain requirements. The subject matter must fall into accepted categories, e.g., compositions of matter, plants, machines, manufacturing methods, computer-related inventions and business methods. Certain things are not patentable, e.g., discovery of a new property of a known material or mathematical algorithms. Your invention must be novel — not known or used by others or appear in print before your date of invention. Also, it cannot be sold or even offered for sale or appear in print more than one year prior to the time of application. Finally, it must not be obvious to one skilled in the art (technical area of invention), as assessed by evaluating differences between your invention and what is known at the time of application. A search of existing patents and published applications can tell you if someone has already tried to patent your invention.
When does an invention not warrant a patent?
Many inventions do not warrant a patent. You can generally manufacture a product without one, assuming it does not infringe someone else's patent. A patentable invention is generally defined as an invention that is novel and not obvious. Obtaining a U.S. patent can cost thousands or tens of thousands of dollars and take three or more years. Fad items and recipes usually do not justify.
Years ago, I developed an invention but never pursued it. Last week, I saw the same invention advertised by a national company. Since I came up with the invention first, can I file a patent application now?
Probably not. Generally, the first person to conceive an invention and reduce it to practice has the right to patent the invention. However, this right can be lost if the invention is abandoned, suppressed, or concealed. A major purpose of the patent system is to encourage people not only to make useful inventions but also to disclose them to the general public so that the public can benefit from the technology. Barring any reasonable excuse protection. Patenting a fad item, with a life span of three or fewer years, makes no financial sense since issuance will probably occur after it runs its course. Recipes generally are not patentable or can be difficult patents to enforce. Therefore keeping a secret, like the COCA-COLA® syrup recipe, can sometimes be more valuable than exposing a patented formula to the world. In these cases, it's best to spend money on marketing instead of patenting. for failing to diligently apply for a patent, your rights to the invention may have been lost.
Is there more than one type of patent in the United States?
Yes. There are three types of patents under current U.S. law. A utility patent is enforceable for 20 years from filing, and it ends with written claims, which define the protected invention, much like a property description in a deed. A design patent protects new, original, and ornamental.
How do I know whether someone has already patented my idea for a new invention?
Conducting a search of United States issued patents and pending applications is a good way to begin. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office provides a free search tool at its www.uspto.gov website. Searching can identify whether someone has already received a patent covering your idea. A patent attorney can assist with the search or conduct one for you. Identifying any relevant patent "art" will enable your patent attorney to advise as to what level of patent protection may be available for your invention, before you commit to the expense of preparing and filing an application. The patent attorney can provide guidance in identifying possible patentable subject matter relating to your invention.
Do I need a working model of my invention before I can get a patent?
No. All that is needed is a patent application, featuring a description of your invention, that must be filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. This document must be sufficient to permit someone with skill in the field of your invention to duplicate it without undue experimentation. Even if you have only a few rough sketches, a skilled patent attorney will be able to talk with you about your invention and prepare and file an application. If you feel you have a valuable invention, it is best to at least speak with a patent attorney as soon as possible, since there are events that may occur, such as offering your invention for sale, which may preclude you from seeking patent protection.
Do I have to patent a new technology in the United States first?
If you are a U.S. citizen or even just live or work in the U.S., you should file the U.S. patent application before filing patent applications outside the U.S. A U.S. patent application usually precipitates a Foreign Filing License (FFL), which is a type of export license. Obtaining an FFL is not just a formality. The U.S. Department of Defense sometimes denies FFLs to patent applications directed to technologies whose export might affect national security, such as detonators, explosives, some chemicals, certain biologicals, etc.
My friend invented a software program that he wants to patent, & during it's development, I assisted him by providing suggestions. Am I a joint inventor of the invention even though the program was not my idea & my friend did most of the work?
An inventor is someone who creates an original device, idea or process, pursues its development, and whose contribution is essential to the development of the invention. A person may be considered a joint inventor with one or more other persons, even though that person did not make the same type or amount of contribution to the invention. If your assistance consisted of conceiving of an idea or strategy that was essential to the development of the invention, then you are a joint inventor, notwithstanding that your friend thought of the idea for the invention and spent more time on its development designs for an article of manufacture (e.g., an ornamental faucet). These patents are good for 14 years from grant and the drawings in the patent define the protected invention. Plant patents protect asexually reproduced plant varieties, such as new and distinct geraniums. When someone speaks of getting a patent for his or her invention, he/she is usually referring to a utility patent.
What is a design patent, and how is it infringed?
Under U.S. law, a patent may be granted for "any new, original and ornamental design for an article of manufacture…". Design patents are directed to ornamental features (as opposed to functional) for a term of 14 years from issuance. The test for determining infringement is based partly on an 1872 Supreme Court decision: "If in the eye of an ordinary observer…two designs are substantially the same…as to deceive such an observer, inducing him to purchase one supposing it to be the other, the first…is infringed by the other." For a design patent to be infringed, the accused design must appropriate the novelty in the patented design which distinguishes it from prior art. Thus, even though the two items are compared through the eyes of the ordinary observer, infringement requires similarity to be attributed to the novel aspect that distinguishes the patented design from prior art.
When and how should I identify my product as being patented?
The words "patent pending" or abbreviation "pat. pend." may be included on a product for which patent protection has been applied but not yet obtained. That marking can provide a marketing advantage and legal notice of a patent that may issue in due course. Once the patent issues, the product (or its packaging) should be marked with the word "patent" or the abbreviation "pat.", together with the patent number. Marking a product with a patent number provides a mechanism for giving notice to the public that a product is patented. If a product is not properly marked with the patent number, no damages will be awarded for infringement of the patent, unless the infringer was notified of the infringement and continued to infringe even after such notice.
I plan to sell my business. How do I place a value on the patents my business owns?
There are several methods used for the valuation of intellectual property assets, such as patents. One method, the cost approach, determines the value of a patent by determining the cost to obtain the patent. Another method is the market approach. This method provides an indication of value by comparing the price at which similar patents were exchanged between willing buyers and sellers. Finally, the income approach method assumes that the manufacture and the sale of goods would entail payment of reasonable royalties if the manufacturer itself did not own the patent. The value of the patent depends on the present value of future royalties derived from ownership. Ideally, more than one of these approaches should be used in patent valuation, and the calculations should always be verified by an accountant.
Obtaining a patent seems like a lot of work and expense. What if we just keep our invention a secret?
An invention that is kept secret and provides its owner with a competitive advantage is called a trade secret. A trade secret is protected under the law against misappropriation. However, to establish misappropriation, you must show that you made diligent efforts to keep the invention secret, for example, by utilizing confidentiality agreements and limiting access to your facilities. The owner of a trade secret does not have an exclusive right to the invention; someone else may independently develop or reverse engineer the invention. On the other hand, a patent requires full disclosure of your invention, but it gives you the exclusive right to exclude others from using the invention for 20 years from the patent application filing date. Considering the expense and effort required to protect a trade secret and the potential for independent invention by others, pursuing and obtaining a patent may actually be a better choice.

Route 66(ish) Day 23
Not Route 66 (except for brief moments as we navigated the LA streets) but still going. This was our first day in Los Angeles, so naturally we visited Hollywood. But before gazing in rapture at the Walk of Fame, the hand- and footprints on the sidewalk, and all the rest, we visited the Paige Museum at the La Brea tar pits. These, as any reader of Stephen Jay Gould will know, were - still are, really - pits of liquid asphalt into which a large number of Ice Age animals (mammoths, saber-toothed cats, condors, giant ground sloths as well as millions of tiny ones such as rats, mice, dragonflies and the like) blundered and became stuck as though on flypaper. Every ten years or so there appears to have been a major capture where something got stuck and a host of hungry predators tried to get an easy meal and were trapped in turn. The place is totally amazing: not only one of the world's primary palaeontological sites (with enough material to keep the scientists busy for several centuries) but really well displayed.
Pausing only to be amused by the existence of a La Brea bakery in Orange County (we wondered if they were famed for their sticky buns) we moved on to West Hollywood, where my children absolutely insisted on visiting this place, selling everything Hogwarts and everything Whovian.
Chip and Eddie Clark, and by the end of our Hollywood trail Chip had had to take his grandchildren home to bed, while Eddie and the tourists went on to a delightful dinner at a restaurant (Ammo) serving Californian cuisine. It proved the perfect end to a busy day.
After La Brea, this has to be the music.

VOA's Upfront Africa radio program has interviewed some of our bloggers before, but program host Jackson Mvunganyi really outdid himself yesterday by having Jihye, Sadia, Nareg and Alex on to talk about their experiences studying in the U.S. and writing for the blog. Oh, and I talk a little bit too.
Excerpts of our discussion will be used in an upcoming Upfront show, but here's the full 20-minute interview for your listening pleasure.

A Syrian television presenter who regularly delivered anti-Islamic State messages on his weekly programme was in a critical condition Monday after being shot in the back of the head by a masked assailant in southern Turkey's Gaziantep province.
Islamic State's semi-official al-Amaq news agency claimed the extremist group carried out the attack using a gun with a silencer.
Muhammed Zahir al-Sherkat, aged 36, was on life support in a Turkish hospital. The claim on al-Amaq said he "presents programmes hostile to the Islamic State."
The journalist was shot on Sunday in the province close to the Syrian border. He was reportedly carrying maps pertaining to the conflict in Syria.
Islamic State has been behind other attacks on journalists and activists in southern Turkey in recent months, causing concern among Syrians and reporters in the area. Al-Amaq recalled that Islamic State fighters assassinated critics in the past.
"Doctors told us that they couldn't operate because his vital signs are so bad and his blood pressure is very high. A surgery at this point could lead to his imminent death," Marwan al-Shawi, a Syrian journalist and colleague who has visited the hospital, told dpa.
"He is living now on machines," al-Shawi added, warning his condition was "very critical."
Al-Sherkat hosts a weekly show on Aleppo Today (Haleb al-Youm), an opposition broadcaster. Originally from Aleppo, northern Syria, al-Sherkat has been a long-time opponent of the extremist group.
A former rebel, he first took up arms to fight forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar al-Assad and then refocused on Islamic State in 2014 as the extremist group gained ground, according to people familiar with his work.
In al-Bab, a town in northern Aleppo province, al-Sherkat worked as an imam at a local mosque, often dedicating his sermons to warnings against Islamic State. He also continued to oppose al-Assad's rule in Syria.
Police are in possession of security camera footage showing the incident, according to Turkey's state-run Anadolu news agency. Investigations are ongoing.
Naji Jerf, a Syrian filmmaker who worked on exposing life under Islamic State control, was killed in December in Turkey.
In October the extremist group took responsibility for killing two Syrian journalists in Sanliurfa, also in the south, near the border.
In January it was made public that Islamic State had killed Ruqia Hassan, a 30-year-old female journalist and activist who reported from inside Raqqa, the extremists' de-facto capital in Syria.

My table tennis career has been long - 13 years in the European and World Championships, Olympic Qualification with the Serbian National Team, and twice Serbian National Singles Champion. Even after retiring from professional table tennis, I still play for fun in the 2nd German Federal League (and my balance isn't too bad).
It has always been important for me to play with the best equipment. In terms of rubbers, this has not been a problem, but finding the perfect blade, which is the "soul" of the racket in my opinion, has been difficult at times. For this reason, I have been working in the department for design and development at JOOLA since 2004. During this time, I have personally tested more than 3,000 blades. It is a very long process, from the first idea to the start of production, but my experience and contacts with top players around the world has been instrumental in helping me design an ideal product.
As a result, JOOLA is the ideal equipment partner for players throughout the world, especially when it comes to blades. Our product lines offers hard, fast, carbon blades, innovative technologies, blade series like the Flame and Wing series, classic all around, defensive, or junior blades. There is always a suitable JOOLA blade for any individual playing style.
Currently, I am very happy with our product range, but rest assured we are always working on new products!

More than 50 years ago, in the ski workshop of the company Jooss in Landau, the first table top was painted with green blackboard varnish and the local carpenter delivered matching legs for it. No one knew where this humble beginning would lead!
In 1961, as a very young employee, along with the company founder, Karl Frey, we took the tables in an estate car to the German Team Championships in Neuwied and set them up for play. It was here that the JOOLA brand was born. Back then, the tables were still manufactured by hand and the very precision and quality that we used then is what we strive to maintain today. It is not easy to produce a playing surface that meets the highest standards, but JOOLA has the extensive experience and expertise that have helped the brand earn its world-wide reputation in table production.
Most notably, the automated coating equipment used on JOOLA table tops is unique to our brand only. It was designed by one of the leading machinery manufacturers and is constantly updated to meet the most modern demands of quality. As a result, top players throughout the world are all familiar with the "legendary" playing features of JOOLA tables.
We feel a strong obligation to maintain such high standards – This, of course, has been the focus, of both myself and my employees, over our many successful years.
Michael Bachtler
Managing Director
JOOLA Tischtennis
At JOOLA, my responsibility for rubber development is not only for elite players, but especially for the needs of clubs, recreational athletes, and youth classes. These players need rubbers that both suit their individual playing style and allow them to enjoy our beloved sport. As a result, a good price-performance ratio is of the utmost importance, in addition to durability and consistency.
JOOLA rubber development involves testing by players from all levels. With Jörg Rosskopf, Germany's "Mr. Table Tennis," I have a partner, who as a former world class player and now as a successful national team coach, contributes up-to-date expertise from the highest level. Moreover, material specialists like Chen Weixing and Amelie Solja, not only actively participate in the testing of equipment, but are also very much involved in the development and fine tuning of our new products.
The result? Top quality and popular rubbers for every type of player out there.
It is a long process of development, but as Vice President of the Hessian Table Tennis Association and Sports Manager of my home club, Seligenstadt (currently in the 2nd Federal League), I have many opportunities to interact with players, coaches, and officials at all levels of our sport - This naturally assists me gauging the requirements of table tennis enthusiasts for the future.

Rain may keep 'Risk' in New York
When he's not watching the races, trainer Pat Kelly is viewing the Weather Channel. He will certainly be glued to the all-weather station during the hours leading up to Saturday's Grade 3, $100,000 Gallorette Handicap at Pimlico.
Riskaverse, who last fall won the Grade 1 Queen Elizabeth at Keeneland, is the headliner of a 14-horse field entered in the Gallorette, run at 1 1/16 miles on the Pimlico turf. But Kelly is not certain he will send Riskaverse to Baltimore for the race.
"Weather's a concern,'' Kelly said from his Belmont Park base Thursday. "We just entered to look it over. I'm in no hurry to run her, that's the bottom line. It's a starting point, that's all. We weren't ready for the Beaugay.''
The Grade 3 Beaugay was won by Delta Princess May 3 at Aqueduct.
Riskaverse, who finished seventh in last year's Breeders' Cup Filly and Mare Turf, has shown the ability to handle off turf, winning the Sands Point last June over a yielding Belmont course. Her Queen Elizabeth victory came over ground labeled "good." Still, it may be a lot to ask for Riskaverse to make her first start in six months on off turf.
"If we don't run, we still got the race on Belmont Day,'' Kelly said, referring to the Just a Game Breeders' Cup Handicap June 7. "That's the race we're trying to get to.''
If Riskaverse doesn't run Saturday, the horse to beat may be La Belle Simone. An Irish-bred daughter of Grand Lodge, La Belle Simone won two starts over yielding or good ground in France last year before coming to trainer Christophe Clement's barn.
In her North American debut last month at Keeneland, La Belle Simone drifted extremely wide turning for home after making the lead. She righted herself in the stretch and missed by just a nose in a second-level allowance race.
Clement scratched La Belle Simone out of an overnight stakes race Thursday at Belmont in hopes of finding soft ground at Pimlico. Edgar Prado, who was named on Riskaverse and La Belle Simone, will ride La Belle Simone.
Trainer John Kimmel is high on Affirmed Dancer, who comes off a third-level allowance win at nine furlongs at Keeneland April 18. Pat Day takes the mount as Jerry Bailey, who rode Affirmed Dancer that day, will ride Saranac Lake for Bill Mott.
"She won on yielding turf at Keeneland in a very gallant effort,'' Kimmel said. "She's got a lot of try and she's doing well. My filly is dead fit.''
Saranac Lake also won a third-level allowance race at Keeneland at one mile. At 2, Saranac Lake won a Group 3 race over soft ground, but has yet to win beyond one mile.

Shannon Reaction: Day After G-Tech
Sep. 18, 2009
By: David Lake
CORAL GABLES, Fla. -- Now that the University of Miami has started their schedule 2-0, expectations are starting to build around the Hurricanes.
With those expectations comes pressure, but coach Randy Shannon is not concerned about how his team will respond coming off two wins against two ranked teams.
Shannon says the team learned from the experience last year when they were in the driver's seat to earn a berth into the ACC Championship game and lost the final two games of the season against Georgia Tech and N.C. State.
This year is different, according to Shannon.
"I won't let it affect them," Shannon said. "They have been there before. They have been there before last year. Sometimes when you have something bad happen to you before, you learn your lesson and this team has learned their lesson."
Shannon says he is not worried about the praise and accolades that are being heaped on quarterback Jacory Harris as well.
"Jacory has been through the same type of stuff at Northwestern," Shannon said. "Northwestern is one of the toughest schools in the nation to play at. He has seen it all and been there and done that."
************************************************** ******************************
• During the preparation for Georgia Tech, Shannon would act as the scout team quarterback at times to get the defense prepared. "It was fun and made me feel young again," Shannon said. "It was more of me being a quarterback and getting the speed and rhythm down. You have to actually show [the defense] the footwork and things like that. I did that for one drill a day and then the quarterbacks handled it and did a nice job."
• Mark Whipple's offense is tough to play against because of all the movement that goes on with the players before and after the snap. "There is a lot of movement that we have on the offense," Shannon said. "He is doing a lot of different shifts and all it is is matchups and once you see adjustments you can attack a team like that."
• The main difference from last year's Georgia Tech game to this year is the fact that the players on defense are older and more mater this year and understand the mistakes that were made last year. "They are older," Shannon said. "If you look at the guys now, they are a lot older than last year. Last year they were taking too many chances. We made them understand hey you did this last year, but if you stay sound in what you are doing we will be ok. They learned their lesson."
• Miami right tackle Matt Pipho did a good job of neutralizing Georgia Tech defensive end Derrick Morgan during the game, limiting him to just one tackle. Miami did not allow a sack against Georgia Tech. "Pipho did a good job. The offensive scheme was to know where [Morgan] was at and we took advantage of certain things. Pipho did a nice job of protecting the quarterback. Jacory had time to throw the ball and if it wasn't for the offensive line, that wouldn't happen."
"A lot of credit with what we do with this offense has to go to the offensive line."
• Miami had seven or eight offensive line available for the Georgia Tech game, Shannon said. "If a kid is not ready to play, you don't want to play him and burn him just because he is on the depth chart. You have to treat it like the NFL. The depth that we have on the offensive line is all young right now."
• Tight end Dedrick Epps caught a touchdown pass against Georgia Tech and Shannon says the senior tight end is close to being back to where he needs to be physically. "Dedrick is working hard to where he needs to be at," Shannon said. "He is blocking his but off and running good routes and getting into the open field. He has take shots and Dedrick has bounced off of them and doing a good job of running the football. I think that his confidence is building each week. I expect more and I want the Dedrick back when he was running over people. I haven't seen that yet."
• Shannon sensed that Miami would have a good game against Georgia Tech because of the intensity they practiced with all week. "Those guys did a nice job of preparing for this game. They were focused. It started in practice and they had the intensity going all week long. They didn't let off and they didn't let down. When you watch that as a coach you can see that they have something going for them in this game. We dominated in some phases of the games, but I am still not happy with the two deep balls."
• LaRon Byrd finished the Georgia Tech game with five receptions for 83 yards and one touchdown. Shannon was pleased with the way Byrd stepped up against Georgia Tech. "LaRon did a nice job. LaRon is a guy that can make plays. With this team we are going to play four or five receivers. As you can see, Travis, LaRon, Leonard, and Thearon Collier have made plays. Then you look at the tight ends and the running backs and they have made plays, so we are spreading the ball around pretty good to where people can't get a beat on you. It is always something that you have to worry about on defense."
• Defensive end Olivier Vernon led Miami with three tackles for loss against Georgia Tech. Shannon is impressed with the play of Vernon so far. "He came in in January," Shannon said. "If you can get guys to come in January, they can contribute to your team a lot easier. He ahs done a nice job of learning the scheme and last night he made some athletic plays while being a factor on the quarterback.
• Shannon on the coaching job defensive coordinator John Lovett did in preparation for Georgia Tech: "Coach Lovett did a great job with the defensive gameplan. It was big that he was emphasizing that we have to get all 11 guys to the football. He didn't want guys on the ground getting chopped and they worked on that all week before. Those things made a difference with chasing the football."
• Senior tight end Jimmy Graham is doing a strong job in all phases of the game, Shannon said. "Jimmy has done a nice job of running routes, but he did a good job of blocking too in the game. He got a couple of key blocks that got us some big runs. He is starting to come around real good and doing a lot for the team now."
• Defensive end Eric Moncur "came in and made some plays early," Shannon said. "He is slowly getting back into it and what we expect out of Eric."
• Vaughn Telemaque made his first start for Miami against Georgia Tech. "He did well," Shannon said. "He was kind of out of it at some point and times, but we got him back under control and he did a good job of coming up and forcing the running game."
• The running backs also did a solid job in helping protect Jacory Harris, Shannon said. "I think the biggest thing was that the running backs did a great job on blitzes. Pat Hill did a good job on some blitz pickups to give Jacory time.
• Shannon on the play off Sam Shields: "Sam did ok. He had that one play on the deep ball where he was sitting on the route and trying to jump the sticks instead of playing his technique. Overall Sam did a nice job of coming up and tackling. He is improving and getting better each week."
• Shannon says he wasn't aware that Georgia Tech running back Jonathan Dwyer sustained a shoulder injury during the game. "People don't talk about injuries during a game. I never knew he was injured."
• Jordan Futch started the Georgia Tech game because Colin McCarthy's helmet was being fixed when the game started.
• Shannon did not have an update on the injuries Lee Chambers and Marcus Forston sustained during the Georgia Tech game.

Five Things We Learned Against G-Tech
Sep. 17, 2009
By: David Lake
MIAMI, Fla. -- The University of Miami thumped No. 15 Georgia Tech 33-17 Thursday night.
With the win Miami made a statement to the rest of the ACC and the country on national television.
Here are five things we learned about the Hurricanes after the win against Georgia Tech.
************************************************** *************
5. Miami football is back - Miami is halfway through their vaunted four game opening stretch and sitting pretty at 2-0. Miami looks like they are only getting better with an offense that continues to produce and a defense that appears to be getting better as they head to Virginia Tech next Saturday. Miami is playing with a lot of confidence and when this young Miami team is playing with confidence they are a legitimate top 10 team in the country.
4. Receivers were running free all night - It seemed like whenever Miami wanted to throw the ball, there was always at least one receiver running free through the Georgia Tech secondary. Whether it was LaRon Byrd, Leonard Hankerson, Travis Benjamin, or Thearon Collier or the bevy of tight ends, Harris always had an open wide receiver to throw to. Miami has the type of athletes and playmakers at receiver that if they are on the field together, somebody should be open and that really showed against Georgia Tech. Give credit to offensive coordinator Mark Whipple for putting these playmakers in positions to make plays.
3. Jacory Harris had all day to throw - Give a lot of credit to the offensive line for the numbers Miami put up on Thursday night. Miami faced one of the best defensive linemen in the ACC in Derrick Morgan and did a strong job of neutralizing his pass rush. Coming into the game Morgan totaled 5 sacks and 6.5 tackles for loss. Against Miami, Morgan totaled just one tackle. Harris was barely touched all night and the offensive line dominated the battle in the trenches throughout the entire game. Give offensive line coach Jeff Stoutland a lot of credit for the job he has done this season.
2. The defense fed off of the success of the offense - there is no doubt that the defense played with more confidence and swagger once the UM offense built a nice cushion in the first half. By the second quarter, the defense was out on the field playing and reacting and not over-thinking the a.ssignments that needed to be filled against the option attack. The defense did a much better job against the option attack, filling all the necessary running lanes and taking the correct angles to stifle the running game. The back seven of the defense in particular did a good job of filling the holes and making tough tackles.
1. Jacory Harris is the real deal - The Florida State game was no fluke. Harris threw for 270 yards and three touchdowns, completing 20-25 passes. Miami has an offense that should be considered one of the best in the country and its leader, quarterback Jacory Harris, is one of the top players at his position in the country. Harris orchestrates the offense beautifully and always seems to make the right throws and puts his receivers in positions to make plays. During his performance against Georgia Tech, Harris made the statement that he is a top flight quarterback and he should be expected to put up big numbers the rest of the season. With Jacory at quarterback you expect Miami to score points on every drive.

Grading the Canes: GT Report Card
Here's how I grade UM's effort against Georgia Tech. It was the best game this team has played under Randy Shannon and the most complete they've looked in years. Bravo, Canes.
> Quarterbacks: He didn't need to be heroic this week. Instead, Jacory Harris was practically perfect. He through five incompletions (two were drops) and finished 20 of 25 for 270 yards and three scores. He made one bad decision on the second series of the game, throwing deep for LaRon Byrd and nearly getting picked. He's still off to a great start in two games and the Heisman talk has already begun. He's currently seventh in ESPN voting. I think it's a little premature. But fun nonetheless. Grade: A.
> Running game: If someone would have said UM would outrush Georgia Tech before the game, we all would have laughed. But that's what happened. UM ran for 184 and GT ran for 95. Graig Cooper had 93 yards on 17 carries and Javarris James had 72 yards on 14 carries with a touchdown. Both looked good moving the pile. Tough break for Lee Chambers. He had two carries for 12 yards and needed help to get off the field. We may finally see Mike James next week. Grade: A.
> Receivers/tight end: Not too many drops this week. LaRon Byrd had one on a cross route (the ball could have been thrown better), Dedrick Epps had another. But all in all, when nine different guys catch the football and eight of those have gains of 13 or more, you've had a great day. LaRon Byrd did a nice job bouncing back from his tough day at FSU with a team-leading five catches for 83 yards and a score. Former power forward Jimmy Graham even got on the scoreboard with his first catch and first touchdown. Grade: A.
> Blocking: Jacory Harris said it best after the game when he said he didn't even think about Derrick Morgan or Georgia Tech's pass rush. That's the kind of day the big uglies had. There were a few penalties -- false start on Matt Pipho and a holding penalty on Jason Fox. But Jacory Harris had all day to throw. And the line opened up plenty of running lanes. Grade: A.
> Defensive line: Eric Moncur made his return and was an instant hit. He was huge on the opening series in disrupting Josh Nesbitt. Most importantly, however, other than the opening series when GT ran for 45 yards, UM's defensive line trusted each other to stay on a.ssignment and avoided cut blocks. Freshman Olivier Vernon created three tackles for loss. Allen Bailey created a push in the middle along with Joe Joseph. The only thing missing again was a contribution from Marcus Forston. He didn't have a tackle and left the game in the third quarter with an injury. Grade: A.
> Linebackers: Darryl Sharpton earned a helmet sticked with his eight tackles. He did a great job tying up Josh Nesbitt when he decided to keep the ball instead of pitching it. Colin McCarthy had four tackles and Sean Spence had two. Jordan Futch made his first start, but only because McCarthy was having helmet issues at the start of the game. Bottomline, the guys did their job collectively. Grade: A.
> Secondary: The only area on defense where there were still some deficiencies. Sam Shields finished with six tackles but was the victim on a few big pass plays Georgia Tech was able to strike on. Meanwhile, Brandon Harris looked like a beast again. He had three pass deflections and didn't get beat at all. When Demarcus Van Dyke (concussion) returns next week, Shields can go back to being a part time player. That will help as much as the return of Vaughn Telemaque did this week when he started in place of Jojo Nicholas. Telemaque and Randy Phillips were both solid on run defense. Grade: B.
> Special teams: If you thought FSU was a tough game for the Canes on kickoff coverage, this one was worse. Walk-on Alex Uribe kicked two balls out of bounds, but rebounded with better efforts in the second half. But the Yellow Jackets still got great field position most of the night. They started at either their 40 or 39 yard line five times on six kickoffs. Meanwhile, Matt Bosher had a tough day despite the lighter workload. Bosher missed a 26-yarder and 31-yarder late in the game. The positive? The lights out block by Futch that made SportsCenter and the returns of Mike James, Travis Benjamin and Graig Cooper. But like Shannon said, the Canes have work to do. Grade: D.
> Coaching: Much better on defense, spectacular again on offense and much better on clock management. Mark Whipple's play calling on offense put UM in position to score more than the 33 points they did. He was scary good. Defensively, UM was always in position to make plays. The work defensive coordinator John Lovett did against the Triple Option and cut blocks needs to be commended. Miami was ready for it. But the best part about the coaching this week? No timeouts because the wrong personnel was on the field. UM burned all six at FSU because of that. None this week. Huge turnaround. Grade: A.

Round and square buildings, towers, turrets and surrounding walls make up the castle of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. The castle sitting atop a waterside cliff is a favorite scene for a cake with a Harry Potter theme. You can make a smaller version of the massive set of buildings with cake that is embellished with candy and decorative piped frosting. Refer to a drawing or photo of the movie castle as a guide when making a Hogwarts castle cake.
Things You'll Need
- Cake board or serving tray
- Frosting
- Spatula
- Cardboard paper towel tubes
- Ice cream cones
- Piping bag and tips
- Candy
Bake a large rectangular cake and two nine-inch round or square cakes. Cool thoroughly.
Set the rectangular cake onto the cake board or tray.
Frost the rectangular cake with flavored frosting that is tinted a light rock gray color. Spread some brown or tan frosting into the gray and smooth it out with the spatula to add a variation in color.
Set one circular or square layer onto one end of the rectangular cake. Frost the top of the round or square cake. Set the remaining round or square cake on top of the first one. Frost the layered cakes with the gray frosting.
Coat the cardboard tubes with frosting. These are the towers of Hogwarts castle. Set the tubes down into the rectangular cake next to the layered cakes. Make sure the tubes are snug against the round or square cakes.
Pipe dark brown windows on to the layered cakes and the towers for detail. Use a round writing tip to add the lined details of castle stonework with dark gray frosting for a more realistic look.
Smooth frosting over the ice cream cones. Top each of the towers with a pointed ice cream cone.
Add pieces of candy to the ground on the rectangular cake to create the appearance of rocks.
Pipe tufts of grass with green frosting around the rectangular base of the grounds. The castle of Hogwarts is built upon a cliff, so add sporadic tufts of grass along the frosted ground of the cake.
Pipe a beaded border around the bottom of the rectangular cake with a round piping tip.
Tips & Warnings
- You can use fondant to cover the cake and cardboard turrets if you are familiar with this specialized cake decorating product.
- Use sterilized PVC pipe tubing for the turrets as an alternative to the cardboard tubes.

Full Tilt Poker e-mail causes angst in the poker community
A distressing E-Mail regarding the Full Tilt Poker remission process being handled by the Garden City Group (GCG) has gone viral in the poker community, and has likely been the cause of a very sleepless night for about 200 poker players and untold numbers of poker affiliates.
According to Poker Players Alliance Vice President of Player Relations Rich Muny, he received this E-Mail from someone who received it from the Garden City Group:
The following persons are excluded from the Remission process and are not eligible for payment from the Full Tilt Poker ("FTP") Fund:
i. A past or present employee of FTP or any of its past or present affiliates;
ii. A past or present vendor of FTP that received compensation through FTP players' accounts;
iii. A past or present Team Full Tilt player;
iv. A past or present shareholder of FTP, Tiltware LLC, Kolyma Corporation A.V.V., Pocket Kings Ltd., Pocket Kings Consulting Ltd., Filco Ltd., Vantage Ltd., Ranston Ltd., Mail Media Ltd., or Full Tilt Poker Ltd.;
v. A past or present officer or director of FTP, Tiltware LLC, Kolyma Corporation A.V.V., Pocket Kings Ltd., Pocket Kings Consulting Ltd., Filco Ltd., Vantage Ltd., Ranston Ltd., Mail Media Ltd., or Full Tilt Poker Ltd. or any of their past or present affiliates;
vi. A defendant in any civil action or a claimant in any forfeiture action brought by the Department of Justice related to the violations alleged in this action, or any related action (or any of his or her affiliates, assigns, heirs, distributees, spouses, parents, children, or controlled entities); and
vii. A person who, as of the Petition filing deadline, has been the subject of criminal charges related to the violations alleged in this action, or any related action (or any of his or her affiliates, assigns, heirs, distributees, spouses, parents, children, or controlled entities).
The alleged E-Mail is unsubstantiated at this point, but it does seem legitimate, and also well within the realm of what can reasonably be expected in terms of potential exclusion lists.
While affiliates had been planning on being left out in the cold (PokerStars was not under any obligation to pay, and did not pay, foreign poker affiliates who were owed money by Full Tilt Poker when they purchased the site from the DOJ and assumed its non-US debts) it is item iii that is causing the most consternation: A past or present Team Full Tilt player;
What players are hoping for is this wording is in regards to Team Full Tilt Poker Pros (the Howard lederers, Gus Hansen's, and Tom Dwan's of the site) and not the some 200 players who were "Red Pros" at the site like Melanie Weisner, Brian Hastings, and even someone like James McManus.

i dated a girl like this. she dates a guy for maybe a couple of months, dumps them then finds a new one and repeats the cycle again. she always makes sure to dump them before he dumps her.
when I dated her though I pretty much dumped her. well, "officially" she dumped me but really it was because I didn't show much interest: I wouldn't return her texts quick enough, I would bail hanging with her to go out drinking, I would only hang out with her late night, etc. when we finally stopped dating I didn't care that much, there were other girls I was interested in..although I did keep lurking her Facebook just to see what she was up to.
i must admit though I recently tried talking to her and she told me not to speak to her. our mutual friends says she doesn't care at all anymore and she is over me. it kind of sucked to hear that.
either way, back to what I was saying...she is always dating guys then dumping them, almost making sure she is in control. why the hell are some girls like this? what is she trying to do? does she really think she will get a legit boyfriend like this? the problem is her
Most Helpful Girl
Yes I know some girls like this.They have ego problem and change partner oftenly when they get bored with the guys.They don't want to get dumped because they feel they are so much better than anyone else.I repeat,its 'SOME' girls,not all so girls here don't feel bad reading this answer,unless if you are one of them.10|10|0
yeah it seems like with most of the guys she just got bored with them. after me and her broke up though she would still come by and hang out with our friends and say stuff trying to bring up our relationship. she definitely has some kind of grudge against guys and likes to feel in control of the relationship so I didn't give her that. she was crazy lol
- Show AllShow Less
Probably she is taking revenge on all other guys because her ex had dumped her ? That way she feels that she is taking revenge.
Yes some girls involve their all guys just because of few past that they been through.

Following Microsoft's unveiling of the Xbox One, a majority of gamers were disappointed by the lack of focus on games for the Xbox 360's successor. Only two first-party titles were shown off for the next-gen box, but the conference itself held a greater focus on the television and sports aspect of the new console. This lead many to believe that the house of Bill Gates was losing touch with what gamers really want from a video game system, but apparently Microsoft is investing an unprecedented sum into just the kind of content it was sorely lacking during the reveal.
Speaking with Microsoft's president of Interactive Entertainment Business, Don Mattrick, Official Xbox Magazine learned that Microsoft has invested a jaw-dropping $1 billion into the development of software for the Xbox One. With this money Microsoft will net the previously mentioned 15 exclusive titles for its new platform (eight if which are new IPs) in its first year on the market, followed by even more titles in the years proceeding the system's launch.
"We just ran through our script and counted the number of exclusives, and looked at the amount of money that we're spending and the deals that we have, exclusive windows and [things to create differentiation]. I think, candidly, people are way, way under-indexing how hard we're punching."
"We're going to come out with detail on things and people are going to go, 'oh my god'. Like, 'they were focused, they made this a core goal, core activity.' There are great hits, there's innovation, and there are world class creators plugged in. You know, I keep track of it all, and I hope everyone here does – we kind of look back at all the different years and at what we shipped, how many units have sold. There's a lot of hyperbole about things, but I think we're going to deliver."
Microsoft Studios corporate vice president Phil Spencer also chimed in during the interview, stating that Xbox One will feature a multitude of options for gamers that want to jump in to the console. Whether it be a gamers who "want to play a game for two minutes," two hours, or with twenty other people, there will be games on the next-gen format that cater to every user's preferences.
"When you look at all forms of content, across all devices, games always pop right to the top of the app stores that are out there – they're a form of content everybody loves. If I want to play a game for two minutes, or I want to play a game for two hours, or I want to play a game with twenty other people, all of those opportunities are available on the platform we're putting forward. I see our creators really taking that opportunity to think about their games in a more granular way."
The only known exclusive titles in development for the Xbox One are the previously announced Forza Motorsport 5 and Quantum Break, but Microsoft has assured gamers that it'll have a lot more to look forward to during E3 2013. Thus far, we know that Rare will be resurrecting a "historic" franchise on the console, but other than that no one is sure what to expect from the conference.
There are still seven new intellectual properties that haven't been announced by the company, and six returning franchises that have yet to be seen, but there is mounting evidence of Crackdown 3 and a new third-person Halo title. Whether these games will be shown off during E3 2013 is unknown, but with Microsoft's press conference scheduled to be held on June 10th, fans won't be waiting too long to find out.
What do you think of Microsoft's $1,000,000,000 commitment to exclusive Xbox One software? What announcements are you hoping for at this year's E3?

After pulling your lawnmower out of storage after a long winter, you may notice the engine is hard to start and stalls. This is a common problem. Dirt and other elements may clog parts integral to the mower engine's running process. If your mower stalls in the middle of the mowing season, you may have a carburetor problem. Thin fuel mixtures or overly rich fuel mixtures will cause the engine to stutter and stop. Have a service professional adjust your carburetor to prevent harming the engine. Luckily, most other issues are repairable without the assistance of a professional.
Things You'll Need
- Fuel
- Oil
- Wrench
- Drain pan
- Screwdriver
- Filter
Unscrew the cap of the gas tank and inspect the fuel level. Fill the gas tank if necessary. Replace the fuel if it has sat in the engine for more than a month, or if there are signs of water in the tank.
Inspect the oil level of the mower if there was smoke before the stall. Fill the crankcase with the oil specified in your owner's manual. Turn the mower on its side, with the crankcase underneath the carburetor, if the oil needs replacing. Remove the plug from the underside of the mower, using a wrench, and drain the oil into a drain pan. Replace the drain plug and return the mower to its wheels. Fill the crankcase.
Remove the screw that holds the cover on the air filter. Lift off the cover and inspect the air filter. A dirty air filter will cause the mower to stall out. Throw out a paper air filter. Clean a foam air filter in soap and water. Air-dry the foam filter, and then replace it.
