Oxygen therapy is a method of passing extra oxygen to the lungs. It is done to increase the level of oxygen in your blood.

Oxygen therapy is needed when you cannot get enough oxygen breathing normal air. It is most often needed because of a health problem or injury. Some common reasons that people need oxygen therapy include:
Oxygen therapy is safe. There is an increased risk of fire around oxygen, but basic steps will help avoid this:
Oxygen therapy is only given if you have low oxygen levels in your blood. Your blood oxygen levels will be measured. This can be done with a quick scan on your fingers.
A prescription for oxygen will be needed. The prescription will include:
Oxygen therapy is most often given with a nasal cannula or a facemask. A nasal cannula is a tube that is put just under your nostrils. If you have a stoma, oxygen can also be given through a tube directly to the stoma.
Oxygen may be delivered through 1 of 3 systems:
The amount of oxygen therapy is based on your condition. It may be needed for a few hours a day or 24 hours a day.
Oxygen therapy is painless.

Another absolutely legendary store is closing down in NYC. I've been to Bleeker Bobs countless times. A good chunk of my record collection comes from Bobs. I supposed it's inevitable but the news saddens me. After my parents divorce my mother had a new boyfriend (now her husband Doug). To get my brother and I out of their hair on the weekends they would give us $100 to go record shopping. There were about 10 stores on our village walk including St. Marks Sounds, Vinylmania, Discorama, Rebel Rebel, Tower, Second Coming and Bleeker Bobs. As the 80s ended and I went to college, EBM/Industrial records started to dry up and I started making my own music. These factors ended my vinyl shopping spree. I think fondly of spending time with my brother and finding the music gems which I still cherish today. Be sure to read the article in The Stool Pigeon (link) for Bob's history.
"Landmark Greenwich Village record shop Bleecker Bob's is closing down after more than 40 years in business, and the only person in new york who doesn't know is Bleecker Bob… A long CD rack, installed in the nineties, runs down one side of the store. It looks out of place now, like an arcade game in a library. Art deco clocks hang at the top of the walls in rows. Many of them have stopped. And there are crates and crates and crates of hand-labelled, meticulously catalogued records. But forget about the records for a minute…." – The Stool Pigeon

Obesity and Weight Management
Is There A Way to be Fit Without Being Thin?
My husband and I have recently begun the lifestyle changes required to lose and maintain a healthy weight. We have done a lot of research about what weight should be our target weight, not for appearance`s sake, but for the health of our bodies. We have heard quite a bit about the BMI, but have recently come accross some information that suggests that the BMI does not adequately account for the differences in body composition associated with racial groups besides Caucasians, nor does it account for lean muscle mass. I am a 5`4" Black female who currenty weighs 161 lbs and my husband is a 6`0" Black male who currently weighs 290 lbs. While I know it may seem like an excuse of some kind, I really do have a larger frame. When I weighed 125 lbs, my ring size for my ring finger was and still is 8.25. I don`t want to be skinny and neither does my husband. His recommended weight according to the BMI calculator was in the 175 lb. range, a weight that he is absolutely not comfortable with, and mine was in the 135 lb. range. While I wouldn`t mind being 135 lbs, I have been before and really enjoyed the way that I looked then, it was extremely difficult for me to stay at that weight. I was the living example of someone who could look at a candy bar and gain weight. That leads me to think that maybe my body was not where it would naturally like to be. Again, I`m not trying to make up excuses for either of us. We want to be trim and fit, just not rail thin. If you could please help with this issue, we would be very appreciative.
First, you do not have to be "rail thin" to be fit. Society's idea of "thin" may not be realistic for everyone. You are correct in that BMI does not take into account muscle mass, so an athlete with a large muscle mass will appear to be overweight according to BMI standard because it is calculated using weight and height only. See the website for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for more information on BMI www.cdc.gov/nccdphp/dnpa/bmi/
Obesity and a sedentary lifestyle can lead to heart disease, diabetes, and other diseases. To be healthy and prevent the risk of chronic disease, you should focus on eating healthfully and being more physically active rather than focusing on a number on the scale. To eat healthier, I would suggest watching your caloric intake, eating more fruits and vegetables, and consuming less fat. Try to get in at least 30 minutes of some type of physical activity many or most days of the week. Healthy eating and exercise can contribute to what your healthy weight is.

The Measure C Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee, which oversees Foothill-De Anza Community College District bond funds, has released its annual report, stating that bond funds were spent as promised.
The report, available online at www.measurec.fhda.edu/AR1112, details how the district spent taxpayer-supported bond funds over the past year. The document includes pictures and highlights of projects funded by Measure C, a $490.8 million general-obligation bond that district voters approved in 2006.
In presenting the report, committee Chairman Dudley G. Andersen told the Foothill-De Anza Board of Trustees that after reviewing all bond-related documents and activities over the past year, the oversight committee has determined that the bond proceeds were spent as promised. He said the district's annual Measure C financial and performance audits found the district in full compliance and called Measure C "a boon to this district."
Completed projects funded by Measure C range from classroom renovations and upgraded infrastructure for utilities and technology to roof repairs and installation of photovoltaic arrays for electricity generation. The Physical Sciences and Engineering Center at Foothill and the Media and Learning Center at De Anza are new buildings.
The Citizens' Bond Oversight Committee meets six times a year to review the use of Measure C funds and monitor progress. The committee comprises community representatives appointed by the district's board of trustees.
Members of the oversight committee include Andersen; David Berman, William A. Dietz and Anita Manwani Bhagat of Los Altos; Stephanie A. McGee; Robert K. Lancefield; and Susan Silver.

3rd seed Clinched.... sounds good to me...
Why so SERIOUS
One more win. 41 - 22. We're approaching 20 games over .500.
I know the game thread had some folks disappointed about not putting the Bucks away sooner, but I'm calling this a great win.
Another team trying to hold onto their playoff hopes, homecourt on the line for us, opposition being punks - didn't matter. We kept our cool, went to work, and came out the winners.
It's a new day for Pacers Basketball.
Homecourt clinched, Milwaukee swept, Larry Sanders punked again. Victory.
21 points 14 rebounds and 7 assists from David West tonight. What a beast
Anybody else get the feeling that the lack of fan support has been a galvanizing force for these guys? I just get the sense that there's a real sense of playing for each other and 'us against the world' mentality to be incredibly cliche.
Technically we've clinched homecourt but not yet the #3 seed. That's next game.
Another thing I noticed? Danny Granger outscored Monta, and the Pacers won!
I'll probably get tired of pointing that out next year.
This space for rent.
Love the win, but the chippiness could cost the Pacers. If refs decide to camp on the Pacers smashmouth BB, it could really cause the Pacers a problem trying to be physical. Fouls being called quickly to make sure the game doesn't get out of hand. It could hurt the Pacers play in the playoffs.
Granger at the line: win.
He is shooting 95% of his free throws in april.
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Put em away any way you can. That's what I always say!
Frank: David West is a baaaad man!
In just over 31 minutes!
"Freedom is nothing else but a chance to be better." - Albert Camus
"Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well." - Voltaire
"Everyone's values are defined by what they will tolerate when it is done to others." - William Greider
Just win, baby.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
Why so SERIOUS
Whose the black commentator for the Bucks? He's blaming the Pacers for the fight and saying he understands why the Bucks would be upset but the Pacers were winning and they should have took it lying down.
Danny Granger shot like New Jersey Nets great Atrocious Harris (Kerry Shittles for the cruder crowd). I was hoping this wouldn't be his worst shooting year ever, but a 7-20 performance this evening might have put the final nail in that coffin. Something tells me he's happier with the 41 wins though.
3rd seed and homecourt advantage for 1st round....lovin it!! Larry Sanders is a straight up h** running around in half circles acting tough.....too funny. I knew something was gonna go down involving him.
Larry Bird and Ryan Grigson- wasting the talents of Paul George and Andrew Luck

ODESSA, Texas -- Montwood coach Chuck Veliz said taking care of the ball against a good Abilene team would be essential if his team would have a chance to upset the No. 5-ranked team in Class 5A.
Unfortunately for the Rams, they were their own worst enemy all day long. Starting quarterback Angel Garcia threw three interceptions and backup quarterback Jacob Aguilar threw two as Montwood lost 34-15 to Abilene in a Class 5A bi-district football playoff game Saturday afternoon at Ratliff Stadium.
Montwood, who is ranked No. 1 in El Paso, finishes 8-3. Abilene (11-0) advances to meet Arlington Lamar in next week's area round. Abilene eliminated Montwood from the playoffs for the second straight season.
"We gave Abilene too many chances and we didn't take care of the opportunities we had," Veliz said. "It was a tough, physical game and I thought we competed as hard as we could. It was a great season for us."
Abilene scored 27 points off the five Rams turnovers. Montwood was still in the game in the fourth quarter, trailing 21-9, and on the move near midfield. But an Aguilar high pass to Ruben Solis went off his hands and was intercepted by Xavier Johnson, who returned the pick to the Montwood 33-yard line. Six plays later, quarterback Evin Abbe hit running back Marcell Porter with a 3-yard touchdown pass and the Eagles were up 28-9 with 5:25 left in the game. Porter later added a 7-yard touchdown run nearly three minutes later, after another Aguilar interception, to go up 34-9.
"Abilene is a disciplined defense," Aguilar said. "They were right where they had to be. We came out and played well to start the second half and had some momentum going."
The Rams trailed Abilene 21-3 at halftime due in large part to three turnovers, all by Garcia, who did not play in the second half. The three turnovers led to 14 Eagles points.
One of those turnovers came in the second quarter with Montwood inside the Abilene 10. Abilene eventually scored on its next possession for its 18-point halftime lead.
"I thought our defense really did a nice job," Abilene coach Steve Warren said. "We were opportunistic against a good offense. Montwood always plays us well and this game was no different. I have a lot of respect for the Rams program and how they play."
Aguilar, who finished with 133 yards passing, threw a 2-yard touchdown pass to receiver Warren Redix early in the fourth quarter to cut the Abilene lead to 21-9. Redix finished with six catches for 59 yards.
Montwood trailed just 7-3 in the second quarter after a Mario Esparza 27-yard field goal. But Abilene scored the final 14 points of the first half.

An idea that took root in the summer of 2012 has grown into a fully functioning community improvement project in Tactic, Guatemala. Casey Houweling, the chief executive officer of Camarillo, Calif.-based Houweling's Tomatoes, watched his Seeds of Tomorrow Project materialize into a source of fresh vegetables for the students at Impact Ministries.
Houweling wanted to educate children in the hunger-stricken area how to produce fresh vegetables, but hit an obstacle with regional weather conditions. Heavy rains prevented crops from taking root in the fields, so Houweling partnered with Kubo Sustainable Greenhouse Projects to build a greenhouse that allowed vegetables to thrive.
Since its completion in July, the students have harvested peas, carrots, green beans, Swiss chard, onions, cabbage, beets, tomatoes and peppers from the greenhouse.
Along with an improved diet, the greenhouse also offers the Impact students an educational opportunity that was previously unfeasible.
"The Seeds of Tomorrow Project is doing more than feeding the children; it is doing more than providing an education … it is an inspiration to our students and to many others who are watching this develop," said Impact Ministries field director Les Peters, in a news release.

After successful start, Noonan back on bench
CHICAGO -- Nick Noonan returned to the bench Friday, one day after going 3-for-5 and scoring twice in his first Major League start to help the Giants defeat the Cubs, 7-6.
"That's the life of a utility player," Giants manager Bruce Bochy said, jokingly adding that Noonan didn't hit proficiently enough to stay in the lineup: "He didn't get the memo that you have to hit a home run."
Noonan did, however, become the first Giant to amass three or more hits in his first big league start since first baseman Travis Ishikawa went 3-for-4 on May 26, 2006, against Colorado, according to STATS, Inc.
Noonan admitted feeling somewhat nervous as Thursday's game began.
"But everyone that I talked to said, 'Stay the same, do the same thing you were doing last year and in Spring Training and everything will work out,'" Noonan said.
Bochy acknowledged that he likes how Noonan is handling the backup role after starting through most of his six-year Minor League career. Noonan must remain diligent, since as an infield reserve, he must prepare himself to play not just second base, where he played Thursday, but also shortstop and third base. Backups also must take extra batting practice to keep their swing sharp.
As Bochy pointed out, Noonan has to work harder than a regular.
"For a utility player to be good at it, he has to embrace it, accept it and look forward to the challenge," Bochy said.

The Rookie
If there's a crisis on Jack Lew's Treasury watch, buy gold.
Introducing Jack Lew to the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, New York Democrat Chuck Schumer said the Treasury nominee has an "uncanny ability to delve into a subject" and "master it." Americans can only hope, because you wouldn't know it based on the little that Mr. Lew claims to have known about what happened during his tenure at Citigroup from 2006-2008.
Mr. Lew's confirmation hearing was a substance-free zone, including his own job history. He was a senior executive at the giant failing bank before and during the financial crisis, but over several hours Wednesday he gave the impression he was there mostly to cash a paycheck.
Related Video
And when Orrin Hatch (R., Utah) ticked off the problems that afflicted the two Citi divisions that Mr. Lew oversaw as chief operating officer, the nominee seemed to know less about them than Mr. Hatch. "I don't recall specific conversations" about any of several Citi-run hedge funds that were imploding at the time, said Mr. Lew. "I was aware there were funds that were in trouble."
Citigroup funds with high leverage crashed and burned, requiring a taxpayer bailout while sparking fierce debates at Citi over whether customers had been adequately informed. But the COO who oversaw legal affairs for some of these units says he formed no opinion.
Mr. Lew seems to have been equally disengaged about his own investments. He said he didn't know why the venture-capital fund in which he had invested was based in the Cayman Islands or whether its location had resulted in any tax benefits. He did aver that Congress could always have banned such tax shelters before he had invested in one.
As for other lessons, Mr. Lew said that his experience at the bank and at New York University, where he was the highest paid administrator before joining Citi, had "proven to me that working collaboratively to solve problems is a universal challenge." That's good, because based on his knowledge of finance, he's going to need a lot of collaboration.
Ohio Democrat Sherrod Brown tried to draw out Mr. Lew on one of the Senator's favorite subjects: The fact that too-big-to-fail banks can borrow at lower rates than small banks because of the implied government backing. Mr. Lew rambled before saying that he was "not familiar with the specific issue."
Mr. Brown then asked if the government should stop providing this subsidy to the giant banks. Mr. Lew avoided answering and then said that "I'm being a little hesitant" because he doesn't believe in intervening in the markets "on a regular basis." This is the man who will run the Financial Stability Oversight Council.
As for policy, Mr. Lew said that any tax reform must raise more net revenue and suggested that while the U.S. statutory corporate tax rate is high, the effective rate is "much lower." Ohio's Rob Portman had to instruct him that the U.S. effective rate is much higher than the developed country average.
The overall performance reinforced the view that Mr. Lew was chosen mainly for his experience as a political hammer for the White House. In his introduction of Mr. Lew, former Senator Pete Domenici recounted that former Treasury Secretary Robert Rubin had praised Mr. Lew as a quick study. Maybe Mr. Rubin can get an office at Treasury and help break the rookie in.

Jermaine Oneal?
I know his past left a stain but he's cheap, experienced, plays tough and can shoot. We could get rid of Ian and probably get a pick.

I like JO, he's been a warrior fighting through all the injuries and he is a good guy. He still CAN NOT stay healthy though, so no.
"Just look at the flowers ........ BANG"
By any chance did you read the Q & A with Larry Bird?
I would welcome JO back in a heartbeat. I also realize I am in extreme minority.
My 'out of state fan' game reports over the years
Pacers.com Guest Blog Post: Area 55 Conquers Staples Center -- (Honorary) Area 55 Family Invades Target Center 2014! -- Target Center Invasion 2015
In a word: No
Yes! I think the Nba would pay part of his salary too if that hasn't changed. And he can still play. I just never thought it possible with Bird running the show
Now he'd be a 3rd string center/PF (not reliably healthy enough to replace Ian, sorry) making what, league minimum? It's a bit of a different situation.
I don't have a problem with JO coming back as a role player but I don't see where he'd get minutes. He'd have 2 players ahead of him at both the 4 and 5. I could see a Rasual Butler type scenario maybe but honestly I don't see why the Pacers would be interested in that from him at this point.
Too bad he's hurt, I'm headed to the GSW/Spurs game in a little while
Would I? Yes. (Just for size against MIA)
Will Bird? Not in this life time....
It was his aggressiveness that put him in foul trouble last night.
We could use him...and I was once a BIG JO fan (only Bobblehead I own)....until he whined like a little girl. But others are right that Bird would never acquire him. Bird is nothing like JO and doesn't respect him IMO. I do think Bird had to like Artest though. I don't know these things, but I believe them to be true.
For example (Source: Lakers Underground):
"Just because you make the most money doesn't mean you're the leader," Bird said. "A lot of guys didn't want to step on toes. Not only here, but other places I've been at. They'd say, the guy makes the most money, that means he's the leader. That's not the case. The leader comes from the guy doing the right thing, the guy that's going to be there every day at practice, the guy that plays through pain without complaining. They do the necessary things to prepare themselves.
"I think the situation you have here, you had one guy making a lot of money and everybody just took it as he's going to be leading us, and in some instances that was true. But I think more now that since it has opened you'll see a number of guys stepping up."
Guys like Danny Granger and Mike Dunleavy Jr. are prime candidates to provide leadership in Indiana this season.
"You can't let your ego take over," Bird said. "It can't be about you. It has to be about the team . . . whoever it is, they will follow because they've been needing it for a long time. . . . There are a few guys down there that other guys will gravitate to."
Lance is finally home. Whether he becomes our starting PG or he's 6th man, he's getting big minutes and he's here to stay. #llortontnia
Thanks I had read that, I guess I did not read as much into it.
I just think Mark would not have ok'd picking him up if the word from the pacers was bad.
JO rhymes with NO .... I don't think that occurs without a reason...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."

JO is probably out for the season he just had surgery, time to close the thread.
@WhatTheFFacts: Studies show that sarcasm enhances the ability of the human mind to solve complex problems!
He said he would dominate the paint...
He PROMISED...
http://sports.yahoo.com/news/warrior...1116--nba.htmlGolden State Warriors backup center Jermaine O'Neal believes he will be back this season after undergoing arthroscopic surgery for a torn ligament in his right wrist.

Golden State Warriors call-up Hilton Armstrong from D-league, according to report SB Nation
The procedure was performed by Dr. Jeff Yao on Friday at the Stanford Orthopaedic Surgery and Sports Medicine Clinic. While the team gave no timetable for his return, O'Neal thinks he can recover at some point this season.
''I am NOT out for the season contrary to some of the media reports,'' O'Neal wrote on Twitter, where he also posted photos of himself smiling at the hospital.
Tonight, all flags must burn, in place of steeples.
Autonomy must return into the hands of the people.
I'm always surprised when this is asked. He had more fans than I realized. He is still a viable back up now, but not like a great one, imo. He's not on the level of Scola by any means, I don't think.
I don't think the memories of that time are worth trudging up for what he can give you. It was the darkest time for the Pacers, not saying he's to blame, but he illicits bad feelings for me, its basically the exact opposite of when they brought DD back.
It's not like he'd come back for a farewell tour and get huge ovations for coming back, I don't think. It's sad because I think he was great for a few years and I know he seems wistful towards Indy. He was just put in a position he wasn't equipped for on a team that imploded.
I guess its probably an age thing, if you became a huge fan during that time period, that would be your marquee guy you identified with the franchise. For me, its the opposite, he had some great years on a team I had followed for years and is identified with huge disappointment and subsequent dark times. Different perspective.
I can't wait for the guy to retire, so this monthly topic can die.
Just because you're offended, doesn't mean you're right. ― Ricky Gervais.
I don't care if he actually plays, he can be the 15th guy just there to cheer from the bench but I would love to see him retire as a Pacer.

Padres FanFest will be first opportunity to purchase Opening Night tickets
SAN DIEGO - The San Diego Padres today announced that FanFest presented by State Farm® on Saturday, February 8 will be the first opportunity for fans to guarantee their Opening Night tickets through the purchase of a Padres Pack.
Padres Packs will go on sale at FanFest presented by State Farm®, with options for three, six or nine games. The purchase of any Padres Pack at FanFest will come with first access to also purchase Opening Night tickets (Sunday, March 30 vs. Los Angeles Dodgers at 5:05 p.m.). The packs will be available in three levels of the seating bowl, with prices starting at $59. Fans will not have to commit to their choice of games right away. Instead, they will receive digital vouchers loaded to their Membership card (or MLB.com At the Ballpark mobile application) that can be redeemed for the game of their choosing. At the time of redemption the fan will secure the best remaining seats in the designated area of their purchase.
Padres Packs may only be purchased on site at FanFest, near the visitor's dugout. Visit www.padres.com/schedule for the complete 2014 schedule, including game times (subject to change). As always, Members receive the best seats, prices and benefits. Blue, Gold and Platinum Memberships are on sale now.
The annual daylong event at Petco Park is free and open to the public. Gates open to the general public at 10:00 a.m. Padres Members receive exclusive early access from 8:30 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. Members will be sent instructions via email on how to print their early access passes through their online account manager. Beginning today, fans who are not Members can register at no cost at www.padres.com/fanfest for a special pass allowing them to enter at 9:30 a.m.
Padres FanFest presented by State Farm® will run until 4:00 p.m. Free parking will be provided in four locations: the three surface lots along Imperial Avenue (southeast side of Petco Park) and the Padres Parkade garage (10th Ave. at J St.).
More than two dozen Padres players will be in attendance, as well as alumni, broadcasters and members of the front office. Fans will have the opportunity to get autographs, tour the clubhouse, run the bases and catch fly balls in the outfield. New this year, fans will get the chance to throw like a Major League pitcher in the Padres' re-designed home bullpen.
In memory of Jerry Coleman, there will be an opportunity during FanFest for fans to visit the Jerry Coleman statue at the East Village gate to record a message about the beloved broadcaster or a memory of their favorite Coleman call.
In addition, the Padres Foundation will host its annual Garage Sale inside the Park Blvd Gate. Fans will have the opportunity to purchase rare, one-of-a-kind Padres items, including game-used jerseys and batting helmets, with proceeds going to the Padres Foundation.
Fans are encouraged to arrive early at #SDFanFest to get their first choice of the 5,000 autograph session vouchers and Garage Sale merchandise. A full schedule of the day's events, as well as a list of participants, will be released next week. The most up-to-date information can be found online at www.padres.com/fanfest.

- Anti-corrosion surface - cataphoresis surface treatment consisting of Powercon cathodic electrocoating and zinc phosphate coating results in maximal protection against corrosion and a longer lasting inside surface that keeps efficiency high
- Renewable neck rings - makes it easy to upgrade your pump when necessary
- Unique design of shaft seal chamber - eliminates the need for external piping and ensures optimal water circulation, prolonging the lifetime of the shaft seal
- Grundfos Blueflux IE3 - only motors with the official IE3 logo are certified maximum efficiency motors
- Compact perfection - a large shaft diameter and a short distance from the impeller to the motor maximizes stability and results in lower maintenance costs

Big bang theory
It's pretty jarring how much quicker this season has progressed compared to the 1st season. It's almost an entirely different feel to the show.
"I had to take her down like Chris Brown."
-Lance Stephenson
I didn't watch a single episode of American Horror Story last year, but after the hype/buzz and the premiere of Season 2, I decided to set the DVR a few weeks ago to catch them. I watched episode 1 last night, and I think I'm on board. It does a good job of keeping your attention and not slowing down, at least the first episode didn't. And considering it's essentially a second pilot (from what I understand, season 2 is independent of season 1), it's got tremendous pace, as pilots tend to be slower.
I'm mostly numb to scary movies and what not, but it does have two elements that still creep me out: Doctors who perform surgery on you that you don't need/want (particularly without anesthetics) and then being trapped in an insane asylum when you're not crazy but everyone assumes that you are.
The Middle halloween episode was great, so was Modern Family. Two great shows
I caught the second episode of American Horror Story yesterday. I'm on board.
The Walking Dead
Wow. Things happened tonight that I didn't expect until later.
Yea same here... I thought it was a great episode though
What's up with the name change, if you don't mind me asking?
I was totally shocked that they went the direction they did with The Walking Dead. Two characters will be interesting to watch and see how they develop now after what happened last night. So far this season has been amazing and has really made up for a pretty lackluster season 2.
Disagreed on TWD.
Though this season has been demonstrably better than last, all they did wasThe show does have the chance to be emotionally affecting in addition to being a let's-see-how-far-we-can-take-gore-on-TV video game drama. It just needs to drop 90% of its characters.Spoiler:
I'm just going to say Dexter has jumped the shark. I'm not sure where to say it happened. It could've been seeds that were planted in season 4 to get us to that dramatic ending but left the writers wondering "Now what?". It could've just been season 5 in general.
Maybe season 4 was Dexter's Sgt Peppers album and how do you top that? Maybe the writers tried to separate so much from season 4 in order to not have any ties or comparisons to it that they actually created nothing but a giant comparison.
It just seems like there's 50 implausible things per episode happening now. Much of it unnecessary noise. Just excuses to complicate the plot and throw curveballs. But ultimately just making things a giant soap opera. The ending of this last episode made me roll my eyes...
Nuntius was right for a while. I was wrong for a while. But ultimately I was right and Frank Vogel has been let go.
"A player who makes a team great is more valuable than a great player. Losing yourself in the group, for the good of the group, thats teamwork."
-John Wooden
I think they changed Dexter too much. Season 4 was such a crescendo, Dex learned so much and even abandoned his code for a bit (by letting Trinity live for a while). Probably should have saved that sort of story line.
I watched pretty sporadically until the last season and a half or so but that was a pretty great Always Sunny.
I don't know how many people watch Parks & Rec, but it takes place in a fictional Indiana town. Two of the main characters are getting married and they made a joke about Larry Bird not RSVP'ing yet but that's ok because he "always waits until the last minute."
I know it wasn't, but I'm going to pretend that was about the Mayo/McBob trade because that makes it much funnier to me.
Whether you like Homeland or not, Damien Lewis is pretty awesome.

I finished season four of Damages, can't wait for season five... Patty vs. Ellen?
Edit Signature
Not sure how many people watch BBC shows, but Merlin is coming to an end this season. Makes me sad as it has been a really well done adaptation. Gonna miss it, but they decided it was better to go out on a high note. Nice to see people end a series due to story rather than milking money.
Not too happy about season 3 of Sherlock being delayed. Best show on TV.
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
They ended Robin Hood in the same fashion. In fact the ending of Robin Hood was great, up until they went one scene to far. If they would have just ended with Robin holding his hand out to his long lost love it may have been one of the greatest endings of a series ever. But noooooooooo....... grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr still honks me off.
I also will miss Merlin & wish they would have given us a couple of more years with Arthur being the king.
Anyone here watching The Walking Dead?If yes and you watched the latest episode,please tell me that you noticed the bent rifle
I agree, andSpoiler:
Don't ask Marvin Harrison what he did during the bye week. "Batman never told where the Bat Cave is," he explained.
Homeland I think took a step backwards in this episode. They had a fork in the road & IMO they took the easy way out to artificially lengthen the show.
Dexter was interesting but I really miss the old days when they made sure that Dexter had to work within the limits of what we could believe. I won't spoil anything here but him hiding in that closet in that suite was over the top & unbelievable. Also from the upcoming previews it looks like another female death will be coming and each one loses more impact than the last.
Boardwalk Empire season finale was good. However once again as I do after every season I wonder why I watch. They waste so much time on characters that don't advance the show and have no real focus of story line that basically it feels like they waste 12 episodes to finally get to the season finale and have that be the one good episode of the year.
I've stuck with it this far so I'm sure I'll watch again next year but honestly I would be hard pressed to recommend this to anyone.

Here is what coach Kelly had to say about his defensive front recruits:Again, I think sometimes when we talk about superlatives as it relates to stars and things of that nature, those are important, but we had eyes on Michael Deeb. Michael came here to our camp. We were able to observe Michael. Coach Diaco was able to spend time, and we know what we want from that position. We have a pretty clear understanding of the skill set necessary and the intelligence.
And here's what else he brings: He brings an energy to everything he does. When he walks in that locker room, it's time to play football, and if you're not locked in, he's going to make sure he says something to you. We love his energy, we love the way he plays the game, and obviously from our standpoint feel like he's a guy that can come in and obviously compete for us.Jake Matuska, again, when you talk about he led his team to a 13 1 record, another winner, another guy that can play in the profile that we have at the defensive line position for us but is also versatile enough that he can play on the other side of the ball. Our target is to play him on the defensive side of the ball. He's going to physically get bigger and stronger. We just like his work ethic. We're really excited about him as a person. He's going to fit in well here at Notre Dame, and another young man that really adds to the depth that we're looking for in our program.Another great program at Woodberry Forest. Dual athlete, excellent lacrosse player, played basketball, can do a number of different things. He's somebody that's long at 6'3", very versatile, can stand up or put his hand down, he gives us that kind of flexibility at that position. Great student, great family.
I know I sound I keep saying the same things, but they're true. I mean, these are really this is why you're at Notre Dame. You get a chance to coach these kinds of kids, and he's a terrific young man. He's going to be a nice football player for us, as well.Another state champion, Eagles Landing Christian High School. I got a chance to spend some time in the high school, and you could just sense the discipline and the faith, and the way the football program is run, it's a great fit, Isaac coming here to Notre Dame. I think Isaac is a guy that didn't play in lot of the postseason games and didn't get a ton of exposure. He's a fine football player. I mean, we're really excited as a staff to have Isaac Rochell. He's going to play on the defensive line, and he's going to impact this program. I think he's got a huge upside, and we're really excited about getting a player of this caliber here to Notre Dame.Jaylon Smith out of Bishop Luers: Again, the 2012 Butkus Award winner. We could list all of these things, but the thing that's most impressive is the character of this young man and his energy. He just has it. When he walks into a room, the room kind of lightens up, and that's the kind of personality that he is, and he is one tough football player, as well. He's got all the things that you're looking for, that quickness, that ability to strike. He can play any position really. Great running back, as well. He'll play on the defensive side of the ball, and he's somebody that has great versatility. But he's also going to be a great leader here, and I see great things for Jaylon Smith.Vanderdoes had not yet signed his national letter of intent when coach Kelly met with the media this week, so he was not available to comment on the California standout. However, here is some information on Vanderdoes regarding his achievements:
First-team defensive lineman on 247Sports All-America team . . . second-team USA Today All-USA high school All-American . . . ranked 33rd player nationally on ESPN 300 list . . . ranked 43rd on MaxPreps/Tom Lemming Top100 list . . . ranked sixth on 247Sports list of top 247 players . . . rated 21st overall on Rivals 250 list and fourth among defensive tackles . . . ranked ninth overall and second among outside defensive tackles on Scout 300 by Scout.com . . . first-team defensive lineman on Sacramento Bee All-Metro team for 2012 . . . made 72 tackles, nine sacks, 10 tackles for loss, two forced fumbles and one fumble recovery as senior in 2012 for Placer High School in Auburn, Calif. . . . added 65 tackles, 10 sacks, three forced fumbles, ands two fumble recoveries as junior in 2011 . . . earned MVP honor for defensive linemen at The Opening elite combine in 2012 . . . played in U.S. Army All-American Bowl in San Antonio and was credited with three tackles and a sack for West squad . . . played for coach Joey Montoya.

A passenger who made a bomb hoax on board a plane has been jailed for three years.
Alan Patey, 49, admitted making threats on a Sri Lankan Airlines plane, which had to be diverted to Stansted Airport on September 20 last year.
The jet was due to fly from Sri Lanka to Heathrow, with other passengers completing their journey by coach after being forced to land at Stansted.
Essex Police officers boarded the plane once it landed and arrested Patey, of no fixed address, along with another 57-year-old man who was later released without charge.
Detective Chief Inspector Simon Werrett, senior investigating officer from the Kent and Essex Serious Crime Directorate, said: "This was a traumatic incident for the pilot, the crew and passengers on flight UL 503 from Sri Lanka to the United Kingdom.
"They not only had to be escorted from the plane for their own safety, but were naturally delayed in reaching their final destination.
"The courage of the pilot and his crew should be highlighted in the calm professional way they dealt with the situation believing there was a device on board.
"The sentence reflects the actions of Mr Patey and should act as a deterrent to others considering similar actions."

The fiscal picture is improving at the Marin County Civic Center, but financial perils remain in light of state and federal budget cuts.
That word from County Administrator Matthew Hymel comes as county supervisors review the budget outlook and consider plans to allocate $32 million to an account paying down pension liability. Another $14 million is destined to pay down retiree health liability.
Pension liability, which officials contend will be paid off over 17 years assuming optimistic investment returns, would be about $348 million if county supervisors move ahead with Hymel's plan on Tuesday.
The plan would cut the county's annual required pension payment by $2.4 million within two years. In addition, the administration is urging that any saving resulting from state pension reform be used to "further pay down the county's unfunded pension liability for the next five years."
Other budget planning proposals include generating $600,000 in new general fund revenue next year from leases at the Marin Commons public safety building. Previously, officials envisioned using lease revenues to pay for private financing of improvements for tenants, but now want to cut financing costs by using $3.9 million in reserve funds to make pay-as-you-go upgrades.
Also cutting costs by eliminating jobs will be another version of a bonus program in which employees who agree to leave will be paid up to $25,000, a payment that does not count toward pensions. More than 30 employees are considering the bonus opportunity. Asked if layoffs loom on the horizon, Hymel said "it's too early for me to say whether there will be layoffs or not" next year.
He noted the administration has asked department heads to prepare budget options that cut expenses 5 percent.
A report by Hymel and a deputy, Dan Eilerman, notes the county has cut annual costs more than $30 million over the past four years by reducing the workforce 11 percent, largely by eliminating vacant posts, along with what the administration called "disciplined leadership" from county supervisors and creative thinking by department officials.
While a $4.3 million funding gap remains next year, "our future years gaps are clearly getting smaller ... the good news is that our financial outlook is improving, though risks remain," the administration report said.
While the county has tucked away $5 million to ease the transition if the state whacks programs, "the county simply does not have the capacity to backfill the portfolio of programs" the state may unload, the report added.
The report concludes with a recommendation that the county dedicate to roads improvements half of any year-end balance funding that exceeds $20 million, a policy that could generate anywhere from $3 million to $5 million more each year to fix roads in the unincorporated areas.

"ESPN plans to speak with the recently retired Reggie Miller about joining the network as an NBA analyst for next year.
"We are interested in talking to him," an ESPN spokesman said.
ABC also makes sense as a possible landing spot next year. TNT would, too, but there is likely no room on its deep roster.
A TNT spokesman said the network hopes to add Miller to its Eastern Conference Final studio show."

›› Update: Cathedral High School coach resigns after arrest
Cathedral High School's baseball coach, Michael Beltran Sr., was arrested on drug charges over the weekend, according to the El Paso County Sheriff's Office.
He is the third employee from El Paso County schools arrested on drug possession charges since Thursday.
Beltran, 62, was arrested Saturday during a joint operation of the Drug Enforcement Administration and the El Paso County Sheriff's Office, said sheriff's spokeswoman Chris Acosta.
According to jail records, Beltran faces charges of possessing more than 1 gram and less than 4 grams of a controlled substance. His bond is $1,500.
No other details were available on the arrest, Acosta said.
Cathedral High School spokesman Ramon "Ray" Macias IV wrote in an email that the school was "deeply saddened by the news" of Beltran's arrest.
Macias called Beltran a "loving father, grandfather and dedicated son" who had been a leader in the school's athletic department. Besides being the school's head baseball coach, Beltran has also served as a part-time physical education instructor.
"Cathedral High School is committed to providing positive role models and fostering a safe learning environment rooted in Christian values for our students," Macias continued. "In strict adherence to guidelines provided by the Catholic Diocese of El Paso and Cathedral High School, zero-tolerance will be given to faculty members guilty of using any controlled substance on or off campus, and we will determine the next steps concerning details of this case as they become available."
On Thursday, sheriff's deputies arrested Raul Gomez and Joe Paul Solis, also on charges of possession of a controlled substance.
Gomez is an assistant girls basketball coach for Del Valle High School in the Ysleta Independent School District.
Solis is a counselor at Frank Macias Elementary School in the Clint Independent School District.
Gomez was arrested on suspicion of possessing between 4 and 200 grams of a controlled substance. Solis was arrested on suspicion of possessing between 1 and 4 grams of cocaine.

Chiefland city officials got no definite answers from the Suwannee River Water Management District's Governing Board Tuesday about the fate of a 122-acre plot of land surrounding the city's 33-acre well site.
Mayor Teal Pomeroy, one of three city officials attending the board meeting in Live Oak, said, "Chiefland thinks it's in our best interest to control that site." Pomeroy asked if purchasing the site or leasing it for recreational use would be something the board would consider.
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Commission is considering adopting rules to govern the penning and hunting of foxes and coyotes in enclosed lands, something the Levy County Board of Commissioners wants continued.
The commission, in its regular meeting Tuesday at the County Courthouse, voted unanimously in favor of a resolution stating support for legally operated fox hunting enclosures. The resolution says such businesses "are a benefit to Levy County and should be allowed to continue lawful operation."
Area schools will have to wait a bit longer to get their Florida Comprehensive Assessment Test scores.
Typically released by the end of the school year, FCAT scores have been delayed until the end of June.
Parents and students in grades 4-11 are expected to receive their FCAT scores in the first two weeks of July.
Twenty-four organizations representing Florida farmers and ranchers today called on House and Senate leaders to override Gov. Charlie Crist's vetoes of legislation that they consider critical to the continued success of Florida's agricultural industry.
On May 15, Gov. Crist vetoed HB 981 and HB 7103, each of which would have enacted initiatives that are priorities of Florida farmers and ranchers and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services.
Carlos Suarez, state conservationist for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Natural Resources Conservation Service (NRCS) today announced an initiative under the Environmental Quality Incentives Program (EQIP) designed to help agricultural producers in Florida transition to more energy efficient operations. While this is a continuous signup, applications for 2010 funding must be received by the June 17 cut-off date.
The Suwannee River Water Management District (District) Governing Board voted May 13 to provide $210,000 to the Suwannee River Partnership (SRP) to fund crop tools that will assist farmers in protecting the environment.
The program will provide 75 percent cost share to farmers for purchasing the tools, up to $10,000 per farmer. Cost share funds will be offered to eligible farmers in Gilchrist, Levy, Dixie, Alachua, Columbia, Union, Bradford, Hamilton, Jefferson, Lafayette, Madison, Suwannee and Taylor counties.
Flag Day is Monday, June 14 and while many of us revere this symbol of the 50 states with the stars on a field of blue (known as "the union") and the stripes that stand for the original colonies, some folks do not seem to know how to show proper respect for it.
The proper etiquette for the United States flag is outlined in the United States Code, the laws of this nation, in Title 4, Chapter 1, section 9:

Drug money coming to Levy
The Levy County Commission approved a grant application by the Sheriff's Office that will bring in $75,725 to be used by the Drug Task Force.
Sheriff's Maj. Evan Sullivan said the amount of money provided under the federal Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant Program continues to drop each year. Last year the DTF received $80,057 in funding.
The DTF is a joint drug interdiction program of the Chiefland Police Department and the Sheriff's Office.

Show Detailed Description
As a nation, the U.S. invests heavily in community-based organizations to conduct interventions, proven through research, to reduce the high rates of unplanned pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV among teens. Much less is invested in helping communities implement these programs with quality. Although many research-based programs exist to address teen pregnancy and STIs, communities face difficulty implementing them and achieving the same outcomes as researchers. This "gap" is because resources are limited, prevention is complex, and communities often lack the capacity—or the knowledge, attitudes, and skills—needed to implement "off the shelf" programs well. Common ways to bridge this gap, such as information dissemination, fail to change practice or outcomes at the local level in part because it does not sufficiently address capacity of community practitioners. Therefore, building a community's capacity is a method that could improve the quality of implementation and outcomes. The proposed study will use a randomized controlled design and primary data from middle school youth (960) and program staff from 32 cooperating Boys and Girls Clubs (Clubs) to assess how a capacity building intervention called Getting To Outcomes (GTO) augments the quality of implementation of a research-based intervention to improve teen sexual health (Making Proud Choices, MPC). Specifically, the study will: (1) Assess the utilization of and subsequent effects of GTO on program staff capacity to implement MPC; (2) Assess the degree to which Clubs using GTO show greater improvements in MPC fidelity than Clubs that are not using GTO; and (3) Assess the degree to which Clubs using GTO show greater improvements on teen sexual health outcomes than the comparison Clubs. To address these aims we will collect data on the delivery and utilization of GTO (e.g., method of delivery, duration, topics); staff capacity to implement research-based interventions; observations of program delivery (fidelity monitoring); and youth participants' sexual activity, pregnancy, STIs, condom use, and knowledge/ attitudes towards sex. Analyses will examine differences between intervention and control sites over time, accounting for clustering of youth within site. These outcomes are important to NICHD's focus on providing opportunities for youth to become healthy and productive adults.

Further study details as provided by RAND:
Primary Outcome Measures:
- Change in Youth sexual knowledge, attitudes, and behavior [ Time Frame: Baseline, Post (8 weeks later), 6 month follow-up from baseline ]Several sets of outcomes are on the Youth Survey including sexual activity, STIs, condom use, and pregnancy. In addition, the Youth Survey asks about attitudes and beliefs about sexual activity, condom use, and pregnancy, as well as knowledge about HIV, STIs, condom use, and pregnancy.
Secondary Outcome Measures:
- Interview about change in capacity [ Time Frame: At baseline (prior to GTO), midpoint of GTO (after 1 year), post GTO (after 2 years), and after a year of no GTO (for GTO+MPC group) or after a year of GTO after not having it for the previous two years (for MPC only group). ]Investigators are using the Capacity Interview to assess BGC staff capacity to conduct high-quality teen pregnancy programming. Although programs consist of individual people with varying levels of abilities, capacity ratings are made at the program level since programs operate as a unit. The ratings are made using a structured interview with key program personnel at all 32 BGC sites. The ratings reflect how well each BGC site is carrying out the tasks tied to each of the ten steps of the GTO model, from "highly faithful" to "highly divergent" from ideal practice.
Other Outcome Measures:
- Change in Fidelity [ Time Frame: Twice per site in each of the two intervention years ]Adherence -Over the two year intervention period, trained local data collectors are visiting each BGC site and rating how closely BGC staff adhere to each MPC module as designed. Dosage - BGC staff are recording how many of the eight modules each youth receives. Quality of delivery - During site visits, local data collectors are rating BGC staff on their teaching style—communication skills, interactions with participants, enthusiasm, and pacing—using a standardized rating sheet. Participant response - During site visits, local data collectors are rating student participation.

Active Comparator: Making Proud Choices alone
These sites will be trained in Making Proud Choices.
Behavioral: Making Proud Choices
Making Proud Choices (MPC) is a well-established pregnancy and HIV/STI risk-reduction EBP with multiple trials demonstrating its effectiveness. Using Social Cognitive Theory, the Theories of Reasoned Action, and Planned Behavior, MPC aims to influence adolescents' knowledge and beliefs about risk, efficacy, and control to change behavior. MPC stresses the role of sexual responsibility, community, and pride in making safer sexual choices. The program promotes abstinence first, but also provides information and skills needed for safer-sex decision-making and practices (e.g., condom use).
Experimental: Making Proud Choices+Getting To Outcomes
These sites will receive training in Making Proud Choices and receive the Getting To Outcomes intervention.
Behavioral: Making Proud Choices
Making Proud Choices (MPC) is a well-established pregnancy and HIV/STI risk-reduction EBP with multiple trials demonstrating its effectiveness. Using Social Cognitive Theory, the Theories of Reasoned Action, and Planned Behavior, MPC aims to influence adolescents' knowledge and beliefs about risk, efficacy, and control to change behavior. MPC stresses the role of sexual responsibility, community, and pride in making safer sexual choices. The program promotes abstinence first, but also provides information and skills needed for safer-sex decision-making and practices (e.g., condom use).Behavioral: Making Proud Choices AND Getting To Outcomes
In addition to MPC, these sites receive the Getting To Outcomes(GTO) intervention, which builds capacity for EBPs by strengthening the knowledge, attitudes, and skills needed to choose, plan, implement, evaluate, and sustain those EBPs. GTO poses ten "steps" that must be addressed and provides practitioners with the guidance necessary to address those steps with quality—i.e., as close to the ideal as possible. Implementation of these ten steps is facilitated by three types of assistance: the GTO manual of text and tools originally published by the RAND Corporation and then applied to teen pregnancy (PSBA-GTO), face-to-face training, and onsite TA. Consistent with social cognitive theories of behavioral change exposure to GTO training and TA leads to more knowledge about performing GTO-related activities, which leads to more positive attitudes towards these activities, which in turn leads to the execution of more GTO-related behaviors.

All ship shape and Bristol Fashion
To begin with I was on the regular 33 bus travelling toward my old college at this current time, and on the way I encountered a number of people who were students with me, on the way to enrol for a further year. They each asked me if I was doing the same. "No" I said, "I am going to join the Navy"
Now if that is not bizarre enough, in the context of the dream I was about to do just that and more, in fact I was about to join the Navy and take immediate command as the Captain of a brand new aircraft carrier.
Now if you follow the link to this blog you will realise that Aircraft Carriers have been in the news lately. Apparently it would cost more to cancel the contract than to build one and mothball it.
Well to continue with the dream theme, I was supposed to report to an airbase to the north of Coventry (no such actually exists) where I would be flown out to take charge of my new ship, and I had got so far as presenting my identity at this fictional airfield, which in my dream more resembled a railway station when the alarm went.
Of course a little over an hour later as it turned I was indeed at a railway station adjacent to an international airport, not waiting for a plane, but a train to London for an NAS Council meeting.
I can't bore you with the details of the meeting, but the outcome of it was, that I was back on the board. Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum.
I may not be the Captain of the ship, but we are sailing into to stormy waters I think, faced like every organisation and every individual alike with the Government's desire to pull the plug on big spending.
Now the question is, having got back on board me hearties, will I stage a mutiny and make Cap'n Colin walk the plank?
Only in my dreams :) I've got to hand it to Cap'n Colin, he was actually one of my sponsors for election never mind having thrown down the gauntlet on the odd occasion.
In some ways the NAS is a bit like an aircraft carrier, it is huge, too vast to know every knook and cranny on board ship, and difficult to steer as it takes a huge amount of space to turn in, but inspite of that I am glad to be back in there with a chance to influence the direction again. It's a very considerable responsibility not to be taken lightly at all.

I expressed my reservations to Russell about your removal from the Board in typically restrained and moderate terms during one of our 19 hour phone conversations...
You have clearly shown your metal in standing-up and speaking out in the face of groupthink and I doubt very much if even the Borg will be able to shut you up when you get on one.
Perhaps Robison could fly over and shadow you to learn how it's done?

My position on the board of trustees is somewhat different to Mr Robison's position on what is only an advisory board.
The NAS does not have an equivalent to Mr Robison's committee because the NAS is not engaged in sponsoring scientific research.
FWIW there is over here, an informal group of autism researchers, philosophers and medical law experts that has recently met for the first time at Kings College London. That group includes several autistic participants, all with academic provenance so no tokens there.
I am also aware the DoH Autism Programme Board has recently appointed two autistic members. We are waiting with baited breath for these two to reveal themselves to the community and open up for a bit of "networking".
Neither Russell or I have any clue as to who they are yet.

Uggla experiencing resurgence at the plate
VIERA, Fla. -- Dan Uggla's competitive spirit left him no other choice but to be frustrated by the significant number of times he struck out during the early portion of the exhibition season. But this might have been a blessing in disguise for the Braves' second baseman, who produced career lows in batting average (.220), home runs (19) and slugging percentage (.384) last year.
"I'm glad it happened, because what we were seeing was the same thing as last year," Braves hitting coach Greg Walker said. "Since then, he's really attacked it hard. He's worked as hard as anybody in camp."
With one hit in the two at-bats he recorded in Sunday's rain-shortened 9-3 loss to the Nationals, Uggla improved his Grapefruit League batting average to .224. This is certainly not cause for celebration. But it is also a far cry from where Uggla was when he hitting .130 with 12 strikeouts in 23 at-bats on March 5.
Having worked hard to get his time and weight distribution right, Uggla has recorded five hits -- including a home run -- in his past 12 at-bats. More importantly, he has struck out in just nine of the 44 at-bats he has recorded since enduring that ugly start to the spring season.
"As I've gotten older, the frustration has been easier to handle -- because you know it's just a matter of time before [success] does come," Uggla said.

What is Risk?Situation puzzles (sometimes called lateral thinking puzzles) are ones where you need to ask lots of yes or no questions to figure out what happened in the situation. These are good puzzles for groups where one person knows the puzzle and answers the questions.
There was once a college that offered a class on probability applied to the real world.
The class was relatively easy, but there was a catch. There were no homework assignments or tests, but there was a final exam that would have only one question on it.
When everyone received the test it was a blank sheet of paper with a solitary question on it: "What is risk?"
Most students were able to pass, but only one student received 100% for the class! Even stranger was that he only wrote down one word!
What did he write?
HintWhat the student wrote showed the professor that he had a good understanding of the material, thus the A.
AnswerThe brilliant student wrote down:
And handed in the paper.
By doing this, the student demonstrated that he understood that having your grade based on one exam is risky.
Plus, putting just one word on such an important exam and hoping the professor understands what he means is risky in and of itself!
