Central division leaders! Yay
(on division record tiebreak, but still)
Im ok with Hibbert not being an asset on offense everygame. But I am getting sick and tired of him being a liability. Sorry I know we won, but thats my one take away from the game.
Undefeated in February. Wins over the Heat and the Bulls. Beautiful. I predicted a loss tomorrow, but I'll happily eat crow if we win that one.
This space for rent.
Luckily for him Noah didn't play today or it would have been horrible to watch.
My thoughts exactly. Let me add, I don't care if he cannot score as a primary option, but when he can't score on put backs, broken plays, and when he is set up nicely by his teammates, then there is a problem...... And that was the case tonight
Part of the difficulty with Hibbert right now is that his offensive woes are well-known to the refs, who aren't giving him the benefit of the doubt on the offensive side of the ball. He got mugged a couple of times with no call.
Still plenty of awful plays by Roy tonight, but a couple of those weren't his fault.
I hope you're not counting that Paul George bullet pass as a "nice set up."
This space for rent.
Pacers will not lose to the Hawks Tuesday night.
They've been our kryptonite for years.
This space for rent.
Very pleased we won. Not that pleased with how we played. The turnovers, decision making, lack of court awareness, making an lame Belinelli look like an offensive juggernaut (even though he was on fire), etc. Glad they didn't have Noah...let along Rose. Still, losing would have stung given those guys out.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
I love beating the Bulls.
That is all.

I said it in the game thread, Noah not playing was more beneficial to the Bulls than Hibbert play was to the Pacers. (OMG a hyperbole! don't jump down my throat now) Absolutely infuriating to watch. I love Roy, i've stayed patient, but damn he was awful. Painful to watch that stretch in the fourth.
Beat the league's best road team to extend the league's second best home winning streak (after San An at 18). I'll take it.
Anyone got the Paul George oop?
"We've got to be very clear about this. We don't want our players hanging around with murderers," said Larry Bird, Pacers president.

Damn those Bulls are tough. Without Noah and Rose, and a one foot Beleneli still pushed us to our limit. (Without Granger ofc). Still though, I dont care who they had playing, I'm confident Tom Thib_____ could play Adam Morrison, Scalabrine, Me, Benny the Bull, and Gerald Green for 48 minutes and still put up a hell of a fight. Any win against this team is a good win.
The Paul George pass was better. Just developing into a complete player. It's unbelievable to watch.
I wish that was only the case tonight, he has been doing the same thing all year.
Yeah, I'm viewing Atlanta as an important statement game. We are trying to take the step to being a legit contender. Haven't yet sustained the road consistency we need to fully realize that, but we have looked like we've got the the home court dominance down.
Now it's a chance to prove the home strength against an opponent that's given us lots of difficulty. Big game. We need to send them a message. Otherwise, our record says we're a top EC seed, but we've still got a team below us that's absolutely got our number.
I'd rather die standing up than live on my knees.
-Emiliano Zapata
All the starters had a complete game bar Hibbert. Very happy with the win. Lance was very good once again. He has become a truly significant part of the team.
Didn't know Bulls has such record (the best) on the road. Thibs has worked miracles there.
Pacers back in at the number 3 spot. The fight for playoff seeding is pretty brutal this year. Brooklyn is playing well. Atlanta is good (pending trades). Obviously Chicago is always good, and soon as they have Rose back they're going to take off. Hopefully the Pacers can hold everyone off.
Good win.
1) Danny Granger - blessing in disguise for Paul and Lance. I think it will be for Granger as well. He is able to sit back and watch this team. He will have a good idea that DWEST and Paul George are studs. Lance is not far behind.
Granger is in the later stage of his career. I believe he has three very solid seasons left and were going to get a very good player in Granger returing to the lineup soon.
2) Lance Stephenson is a stud. He is still immature. but its expected for a 22 years young. the sneaky handcheck to draw a foul was entertaining but not necessary. Will be interesting to see how Lance mixes with the second unit. Lance is really getting good chemisty with DWEST. that pass by George Hill was a rocket, not sure what he was so upset about. Good game by Lance. Huge. Bellini is Korver all over again.
3) Hibbert - I am officially concerned. No Noah. This is a game Roy has to dominate. Roy has no offensive game. it is just pathetic. I believe i know the reason why Hibbert is struggling. He knows he is overpaid. He cannot handle the pressure of being a max player. I know this Hibbert will work hard by the end of his contract he will have given us everything. We have to get him a big man coach. we have to do somethign cause Hibbert right now is just awful. a team with no NOAH. and Roy does basically nothing. He is indeed becoming a black hole offensively. Defenisively i love what he gives us but he has flaws. He does not box out well. His IQ is low. I believe it can improve and hope it does. But too many plays. the behind back pass from Lance Stephenson Roy has to block that player out of the lane and GET POSTIION!! it was flipping Nate Robinson. Roy block him away from the rim. Roy is too awkward offensively and doesnt get it yet. im frustrated with Roy and i have every right to be as any pacer fan.
4) Brian Shaw - will this guy be back next year. I believe in Coach Vogel. but I do not want to see Shaw go. I dont see him returning to the Pacers bench next season.
6) Larry Bird - Thank you. at the rate of Lance Stephesons progession ... btw.. anyone who watched on FSI the dunk by Lance he was jacked up in that dudes face... you all know what talking about. Lance is a dawg on the court. I dont know where Bird got the idea to as a part of his core to add a player like Lance .. maybe Bird was hoping for a little bit of Magic
if Plumlee become the next Jeff Foster than Simon better pay Bird the MAX for an Executive of the Year.
Good win. Bulls without Noah, DRose, Hinrich. Granted no Granger but Hibbert has to step up or Vogel may need to bench him for Mahinmi alas DJ, Greene.
* Greene - DNPCD.
If we had taken care of the ball we would have won by 15+. They got 14 more possessions than us! I think we maybe took it a little easy on D too. Probably unintentionally, but we sometimes have lets downs on that end when we know we're facing a team that is without some key players.
Roy, Roy, Roy. I love, love, love the D. And I do think he gets hosed on a call or two per game on the offensive end. But he's just been absolutely dreadful on that side of the ball. It's painful to watch and at this point it's been going on so long that there's a lot less hope that it's going to get better. If his wrist really is bothering him a lot (and I hope it is, because otherwise...) I hope it gets the best rest and treatment EVER during the All-Star break. Can we hire the guys in Phoenix for a contract job?
I fear it's mostly mental though. He should consider changing sports psychologists.
To end on a positive note, I really like the way our offense has looked in the last 10 games. 6 games scoring over 100 and one in the upper 90s. We just have to figure out how to play the same level of D as before, or close to it, because we've definitely loosened up there a bit.
"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
By the way I'm not worried about Brian Shaw. Now that he is officially in a real good situation here in Indiana (Head assistant on a contending team for years to come), I think he'll wait and selectively get a good coaching job. We've seen assistants stay on for years after we thought they'd take a coaching job.
From what I understand, Shaw turned down Orlando which was a good move. So, he'll wait for the right job. I think he'll be here for a few years.

Here's a trio for Tuesday. Three new interesting pro-audio related products. Number one we have Steinberg LoopMash. LoopMash mangles four loops. It's an iPhone App. I grabbed it and it has a pretty cool faux 3D swipe to different screen effect worth checking out. Years after abandoning Cubase I'm using a Steinberg product again. Number two is Mike. It's a microphone from Apogee that goes directing into your iOS device. It's from Apogee so it deserves mention. Convenience and AD/DA conversion wise it should be a winner however I'm all about high end mic pres and Mike can't use one. Number three we have SuperAnalog808 a Roland TR-808 sample pack from Goldbaby designed for Loopmasters. If you don't own a real 808 or Acidlab Miami then samples are your friend. Goldbaby does them right and there's a million suble differences between 808s and ways to record them so another sample set is always welcome.

I think I'll make this tomorrow..can I use par boiled rice? I have a bag that needs using up.
Also is this the standard recipe or can other dals be substituted as well?
I'm impressed that there is no oil required to cook this.

TBC - That's true - just two of these are enough to keep you going for quite a while. The problem is trying to stop eating!
Bindiya - I hope you like it.
Nags - Hmm. Never had that - now I have to try it.
Cynthia, Prathibha, Lavi, Shama, Priya, Home cooked Oriya Food - Thank you!
Deesha - Yup its extremely healthy, esp in a vegetarian diet.
Bharti - I don't think you can use parboiled rice or substitute other dals - it just might not turn out the same. Though I've never tried. If you do, let me know how it turned out.
Kitchen Flavours, Sangi, Alfred Devanesan Samuel - Thanks!

It looks like a pancake but it doesn't taste the same. According to my observation, this is one delightful dish and it is really good for breakfast or break time.

You missed the point.
This is correct. I am Christian and I have no problem with homosexuality. It varies from person to person. I have been following this thread closely and think it has been kept mostly civil and is a wealth of information. Reasonable debate is healthy and I would like to see this thread get back on track.
Being a Christian, how do you justify it biblically?

Counselors and administrators are wrestling with how to share tragic tidings from Israel with their young charges.
On the morning of June 30, the children began arriving at Camp Solomon Schechter in Olympia, Wash., ready for a fun-filled summer.
But shortly before the first little feet descended the bus steps, the sleepaway camp's Israeli counselors learned from back home about the discovery of the bodies of three teens kidnapped in the West Bank 18 days earlier.
The news about the teens' fate challenged administrators at Jewish camps like the Conservative movement-affiliated Schechter to deal with the tragedy: what information to present, how to tailor their words to campers' varied maturity levels and how to mourn the youthful victims while not alarming children for whom camp represents happiness and escape.
Then there was tending to Israeli campers and counselors, for whom the trauma was more personal.
At Schechter, the dilemma for administrators was compounded by the campers being so young — second- through seventh-graders. The teenage cohort wasn't due until later in the summer.
So nothing was announced that day and no mention appeared on the camp's website.
"It's not really a great topic for kicking off camp and having a great summer," said the camp's executive director, Sam Perlin. "Getting off to a good start is extremely important."
Only at the next morning's daily assembly at the flagpole to sing "Hatikvah," Israel's national anthem, did Perlin tell campers that the three missing yeshiva students had lost their lives.
"I didn't say 'murdered' or 'killed,' " he related. "I didn't say how or why."
Across the country, Camp Moshava, a Modern Orthodox overnight camp in Honesdale, Pa., took a different approach.
Campers arriving on June 24 were greeted at the front gate with placards hung by Israeli counselors featuring the faces of the kidnapped boys and a message in Hebrew praying for their safe return.
The news of their deaths broke nearly a week later at lunchtime, when each shift of children finishing the meal headed to another building for the daily afternoon prayers, youngest group to oldest. At the Mincha service, the fact of the boys' death was conveyed at an age-appropriate level.
Moshava's website the next morning showed images of three Israeli flags arrayed horizontally across the screen above the words "Baruch Dayan Ha'Emet," the traditional utterance upon learning of a Jewish person's death. The left column presented news of the deaths of Naftali Fraenkel, Gilad Shaar and Eyal Yifrach.
"We're a religious Zionist camp. This is what we're all about," the camp's director, Alan Silverman, said when asked about his guiding principles for handling the situation.
Upon hearing the news, he said, "we and the camp psychologists made a plan for each group" that included telling Israeli staffers and campers first. Others were dispatched to share the news with two groups of adolescent campers off site on organized hikes.
Moshava campers of all ages are learning sections of Mishnah in memory of the slain teens. Three eighth-grade girls initiated a project to collect campers' letters, poems and drawings for albums to be sent to the grieving parents.
"They should feel we are connected, even though we are thousands of miles away," said Davida Krauss, one of the girls, who is from the Bronx, N.Y. "We wanted to do something for them."
Krauss said she and two friends came up with the idea because "we saw everyone so sad that they can't do something — but we really can do something."
The campers were offered the opportunity during their mid-afternoon free period to gather on the grass outside the dining hall to speak with mental health professionals or with each other, which some did.
Otherwise, swimming, ballgames and the rest of the recreational schedule carried on normally, Silverman said.
After hearing of the deaths of the Jewish teens, several former staff members drove to Moshava in solidarity.
"In a sense, [the camp] is the best place you could possibly be," said Silverman, who lives most of the year just a few miles from where the Israeli boys were kidnapped in the West Bank's Gush Etzion settlement bloc and has run the camp for 29 years. "Here you're with a large community that is grieving together."
At Camp Galil, a sleepaway camp in the Poconos affiliated with the Habonim Dror Zionist youth movement, Israeli counselors joined forces with their American colleagues to run a dialogue program for campers on the news and hold a memorial service for the slain teens.
"The younger kids asked lots of question because they didn't really understand what was happening, but the older campers had very thoughtful responses," said Noa Swisa, 28, an Israeli Shlicha from Jerusalem. "The camp places a strong focus on Zionist and Israeli education and it's something we deal with on a daily basis — as objectively as possible."
Camp Galil hosts campers between the ages of 8-16.
At the memorial service, campers lit candles and placed flowers beside pictures of the murdered teens.
"It was a beautiful service and the campers were very engaged," Swisa said.
Like Moshava, Israeli staffers at the Schechter camp expressed feeling conflicting emotions of learning about the news in Israel.
Bar Bamani, a counselor who had flown in recently from his Tel Aviv-area hometown of Tel Mond to work at the camp, said his mother texted him the news just as some of the other Israeli staffers were hearing what had happened.
One of the Israelis began crying, "so we sat together and talked a bit about it, to make sure everything was OK," said Bamani, 21. "Campers were coming, so there wasn't much time to sit and breathe and digest the situation."
During crises, "we feel united and close to Israel," he said. "That's the safe place, the family. You can feel the mourning of everyone."
Bamani expected campers to raise the subject of the tragedy, but said he won't initiate such conversations.
The camp's rabbi, Yohanna Kinberg, is helping to launch conversation on the topic. She laminated a photograph of the Israeli victims for display in the synagogue alongside battery-operated memorial candles.
Someone moved the photo to a central walkway outside, where it has prompted discussions among campers and staff, she said.
"This is real, and it's important to talk about if it's framed in a thoughtful way," she said, "not a terrifying way."
Days after the discovery of the Israeli teens' bodies came news of the murder of a Palestinian teenager from eastern Jerusalem, Muhammad Abu Khdeir, and later of Israel's arrest of six Jewish suspects in connection with his slaying.
The killing of Khdeir came up at Moshava in discussions among the high school-age campers, Silverman said. At the Schechter camp, staff members spoke about it informally over Shabbat, Perlin said.
Referring to the aftermath of the killings, along with the rocket attacks launched on Israel from the Gaza Strip, Kinberg said the situation is "spiraling and it's scary, and it's very upsetting."
"I think we'll have a lot of discussions with the teens on what's happening in Israel," the rabbi said. "Since we have so many Israelis here, it'll be a much richer conversation."
Camp Galil organized discussion groups for the older campers regarding the alleged revenge murder and how all of the recent events are affecting the situation in the Middle East.
Swisa explained that similar discussion groups are in the works for the younger campers.
"The reason we haven't done it yet is because we feel it would be irresponsible to have an activity on the subject without providing them with a background on everything that is happening in Israel," Swisa said. "We are working on the programming slowly, because it's an educational process."
JE staff writer Amishai Gottlieb contributed to this report.

ATLANTA—Agony doesn't look like much. A lot of glassy stares, some bleeding cuts that go unnoticed. For a long while agony sounded like a few muffled whispers as a handful of players sat at their lockers and halfheartedly tried to explain their misery.
And then here came Tony Gonzalez, as composed as a best man at a wedding.
Before the locker room doors opened, while the Georgia Dome continued to tilt in disbelief, it had taken him forever to peel off his pads, and untie his cleats, and examine the wreckage of one of the most crushing losses in Atlanta's sporting history. But now, as the stunning finality of San Francisco's 28-24 NFC title game victory over the Falcons settled, reality hit him with a particularly insightful force.
"It's just time," said one of the toughest, greatest and most interesting tight ends to ever play the game. "I can't keep chasing a Super Bowl."
He still treated the word "retirement" as if it were a curse, saying that while he's "pretty much" made up his mind to leave the sport after 16 seasons, he wasn't 100 percent this was it. But if this is how it ended—and it is, with only a final conversation with his family standing in the way of an official announcement—we all should hope to depart our careers on such a high note.
Falcons let it slip away: Niners stage big rally | Kaepernick super
Falcons fans surely will dispute those last two words, as a raucous Sunday afternoon melted into an evening stuffed with bitter grief and disappointment. Two quarters away from a trip to the Super Bowl, the Falcons blew it. They stamped another return trip ticket for the Niners to the championship game. Maybe the Falcons ran out of steam, maybe nobody can stop the wondrous mania of Colin Kaepernick.
Most probably, the Falcons will regret this one longer than any other loss, because it came with a massive price. It meant that Gonzalez, the team's heart, soul and definitely its brain, would blow one last kiss to the crowd and say a teary farewell.
"All good things come to an end," he said. "I'm disappointed, but you will not catch me complaining. Yeah, it may not have culminated in a Super Bowl, but you know what? I can't complain. I cannot complain, and I won't."
He was referring to the totality of a career that began a lifetime ago in Kansas City and ended with him owning a slew of receptions records but just one playoff win. Gonzalez could offer lessons in many worthy subjects—how to save a choking man; how to earn respect and play the game with grace; how to catch missiles with magnets for hands and adjust like a wizard to balls in the air—but he had no experience with a postseason in which the magic just fizzles out in a whiff.
"We had it in the end. I was very confident. I think everybody was," he said of the Falcons' final drive, which in no way resembled last Sunday's fantastical finish.
Then, quarterback Matt Ryan spun 31 seconds into gold after the Falcons blew a 20-point lead against Seattle. Now, with two minutes remaining and the Niners up by four, Ryan was flattened while completing a short pass on second-and-9 that put Atlanta 10 yards from the goal line—10 yards from their first Super Bowl since 1998.
Ryan lay on the ground for a long minute, got up slowly, had his next pass batted out of the air, was incomplete on fourth-and-4, and the 49ers' defense started prancing on the turf as if it were a French Quarter bar.
Super Bowl pick: Iyer's early line on the big game
"The defense kind of fooled us there," said Gonzalez. "We came out like gangbusters in the first half, and we should've continued that in the second half. But we didn't, and give them credit for it."
That start was some kind of marvelous. Atlanta had a double-digit lead on the 49ers, Ryan was brilliantly hitting every mark and it seemed definite that San Francisco coach Jim Harbaugh would need machinery to unclench his jaw.
Gonzalez couldn't say he envisioned this, because who did? The Falcons might have been the NFC's top seed but they still were considered prohibitive underdogs under their own grey roof. At one point during the early madness, Gonzalez overheard nonsense, someone saying Atlanta had 182 total yards to the Niners' negative-2.
Julio Jones, such an imposing target, had 100 of those yards in the first quarter alone, and on the opening play of the second quarter Ryan, still practically flawless off his back feet, connected with Jones deep in the corner of the end zone. Jones leaped over Tarell Brown (who'll wake on Monday morning and wonder what he'd done to deserve such abuse), dragged his toes across the skinniest of space and gave Atlanta a 17-0 lead.
Three more points and the 49ers would have the Falcons right where they wanted them.
Earlier in the week, the 36-year-old Gonzalez tried to explain his longevity to a local reporter. "I compare it to when you watch those old Kung Fu movies and you see the guy with the long beard," he said. "The toughest fighter is not usually the young guy, it's the old guy who's been around for a long time. I figure I'm like that."
Images: Video highlights | Photo gallery
But never had he witnessed anything like this. Behind San Francisco's unflappable Kaepernick (does he even have a pulse?), the 49ers rallied, their defense pitched a second-half shutout and a day that began with such promise ended with The ATL still owning just one measly championship (via the Braves) in 46 years as a big-league sports town.
Always, there are silver linings: Gonzalez knows he's mighty blessed. Still so sleek and fast, he had an outstanding game, catching every pass Ryan threw his way, eight total, for 78 yards and a 10-yard touchdown late in the second quarter, the last time Atlanta would score. His blocking was sublime. Beyond that, he leaves healthy, remarkably able to walk upright with not even a hint of a limp. He practically genuflected when someone remarked that all the hits he's taken to his head haven't seemed to damage him.
Close to 70,000 fans stayed on their tiptoes until the sour end, and as Gonzalez walked glumly, slowly toward the tunnel, he spied his mother and her cowbell in the stands, and his wife and his brother and an extended family that reached into the Dome's every corner, and as he blew a kiss, it sunk in. This was it.
"I don't want nobody out there to feel sorry for me. I've had a great ride," he said sometime later in front of his locker, a strong and fresh voice amid the sounds and sights of agony "Unbelievable ride! A great career. I've enjoyed this, and I wouldn't trade it for anything."
Gonzalez might not be leaving on top, but he sure didn't make it seem that way. He made it seem like this was a fine way to go.
Linemakers: 49ers favored by less than a TD in Super Bowl

Prostate Cancer
Diabetes and Prostate Cancer
My dad, 61 years old has been diagnosed with prostate cancer. His PSA before biopsy was 4.1. He was opting for surgery but because he is overweight and has diabetes his doctor will not perform the surgery. He is to start on hormone therapy along with radiation. My question, with his diabetes is he more at risk performing the surgery than doing radiation? His diabetes is not under control and his prostate cancer is localized. Thanks.
Diabetes in general is not a reason to avoid prostate removal. There are many approaches to prostate surgery including laparoscopic and robotic prostatectomy. You may want to ask for a second opinion from a urologist who offers these techniques.

Two NBA sources, both close to the Warriors veteran forward, told me that Al Harrington recently informed the Warriors that he does not want to play for Don Nelson any more and is requesting to be traded as soon as possible.
(There is no suggestion, however, that Harrington will walk out from the team if he isnt traded before the start of the season tomorrow.)
In fact, one league source with knowledge of the situation said that Harringtons agent, Dan Fegan, is actively working to get (Harrington) out of there and that a few teams already have proposed tentative deals.
This guy is never satisfied. For someone of his caliber - an average player who never has impressed statistically and certainly never in important situations - Al really feels under-appreciated everywhere he goes. Nice guy, but I don't understand where his head is at.

Mariners re-sign free agent outfielder Franklin Gutierrez
Seattle Mariners Executive Vice President & General Manager of Baseball Operations Jack Zduriencik announced today that free agent OF Franklin Gutierrez has re-signed with the Mariners. A corresponding roster move to clear a spot on the 40-man roster will be announced later this afternoon.
Gutierrez became a free agent when the Mariners declined his 2014 club option on November 1st.
Gutierrez, 30, batted .248 with 7 doubles and 10 home runs in 41 games last season. He missed 106 games in two DL stints with a strained right hamstring, April 23-June 21 & June 25-Aug. 25. He reached double-digits in home runs (10) for the first time since 2010, despite appearing in only 41 games. He averaged 14.50 at-bats per home run, the 6th-best ratio in the Majors by players who hit 10 or more home runs.
He appeared in 478 games for the Mariners from 2009-2013. He battled injuries over the last three seasons appearing in only 173 of 486 team games, making 6 separate trips to the disabled list. He was a Gold Glove winner in 2010.

I'll begin by noting that Gov. Daniels said more on the subject than this quote captures, and part of what he said is that IPFW and other universities must do a better job managing the monies they do receive, and they must do a better job helping students complete college.
All of this is true. However, some other facts are true that neither Gov. Daniels, nor our legislators, seem to be paying any attention to. Here are some facts.
1. Research universities like Purdue and IU are major economic catalysts for the regions they serve. The presence of university research laboratories creates innovation, new companies and jobs.
2. Fort Wayne is the 74th largest city in the United States, and the second largest city in Indiana.
3. If you look closely at the 100 largest cities in the U.S., you'll find that virtually without exception, every one of them has a large research university close by (within 20 miles).
4. Fort Wayne is the exception, and that should trouble each one of us.
Fort Wayne needs IPFW to become a more robust research institution. This is necessary for Fort Wayne to grow jobs today and to train the innovators and entrepreneurs who will grow jobs tomorrow. It won't happen overnight. IPFW has neither the physical infrastructure nor the administrative infrastructure to become such an institution today. However, it needs to begin moving in that direction. And that move cannot occur until IPFW receives per-capita funding more in line with its status as the fifth-largest state university.
This is an issue where our leaders need to step up to the plate. As Senate majority leader, David Long should have at least some influence on IPFW's budget. And Gov. Daniels, as president of the Purdue University system, needs to step up and advocate for IPFW.
Finally, our mayor, and our other community leaders need to take a stand regarding the future of IPFW. This issue is not simply about the wishes of IPFW faculty, rather it is an issue about the future economic growth of our region.
Given Fort Wayne's size, doesn't it need a more robust university? Compared to other large cities of its size, why is Fort Wayne so underserved in this area?

This case study from AVG takes a look at Millennium Solutions Incorporated, an AVG reseller providing IT services to businesses in Atlanta Georgia, one of which is Southern Insurance Agency. Millennium has protected its 13-computer network for three years using AVG Antivirus from the beginning. Top-tier security is crucial to Southern Insurance because they use their devices to store confidential client information.
"I recommend AVG Antivirus products to all 300 of my clients. I've been in the IT business for fourteen years, and AVG is the best all-around solution I've found," said Coggins. "Our customers are like most at any IT firm. They don't dwell on it or get into the mechanics of things. They just take your word that you're delivering the best thing out there and leave it at that. AVG works the way an antivirus should – in the background. I tell my clients that AVG is like having a security guard right there behind you."
License renewal was not something that Clayton Coggins, owner of Millennium, liked to deal with and found it to be a nuisance. When Coggins was presented with an opportunity to move Southern Insurance Agency to a new "right-size" solution from AVG – in the form of AVG CloudCare – that would eliminate the need to keep up with license keys, he seized the opportunity.

text: Diagnosis By Mayo Clinic Staff Print There's no specific test today that confirms you have Alzheimer's disease. Your doctor will make a judgment about whether Alzheimer's is the most likely cause of your symptoms based on the information you provide and results of various tests that can help clarify the diagnosis. Doctors can nearly always determine whether you have dementia, and they can often identify whether your dementia is due to Alzheimer's disease. Alzheimer's disease can be diagnosed with complete accuracy only after death, when microscopic examination of the brain reveals the characteristic plaques and tangles. To help distinguish Alzheimer's disease from other causes of memory loss, doctors now typically rely on the following types of tests. Physical and neurological examYour doctor will perform a physical exam, and is likely to check your overall neurological health by testing your: Reflexes Muscle tone and strength Ability to get up from a chair and walk across the room Sense of sight and hearing Coordination Balance Lab testsBlood tests may help your doctor rule out other potential causes of memory loss and confusion, such as thyroid disorders or vitamin deficiencies. Mental status and neuropsychological testingYour doctor may conduct a brief mental status test to assess your memory and other thinking skills. In addition, your doctor may suggest a more extensive assessment of your thinking and memory. Longer forms of neuropsychological testing may provide additional details about your mental function compared with others' of a similar age and education level. Brain imagingImages of the brain are now used chiefly to pinpoint visible abnormalities related to conditions other than Alzheimer's disease — such as strokes, trauma or tumors — that may cause cognitive change. New imaging applications — currently used primarily in major medical centers or in clinical trials — may enable doctors to detect specific brain changes caused by Alzheimer's. Brain-imaging technologies include: Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). An MRI uses radio waves and a strong magnetic field to produce detailed images of your brain. MRIs are used to rule out other conditions that may account for or be adding to cognitive symptoms. In addition, they may be used to assess whether shrinkage in brain regions implicated in Alzheimer's disease has occurred. Computerized tomography (CT). A CT scan produces cross-sectional images (slices) of your brain. It's currently used chiefly to rule out tumors, strokes and head injuries. Positron emission tomography (PET). During a PET scan, you'll be injected in a vein with a low-level radioactive tracer. The tracer may be a special form of glucose (sugar) that shows overall activity in various brain regions. This can show which parts of your brain aren't functioning well. New PET techniques are able to detect your brain level of plaques (amyloid) and tangles (tau), the two hallmark abnormalities linked to Alzheimer's. However, these new PET techniques are generally found in research settings or in clinical trials. Cerebrospinal fluid. In special circumstances such as rapidly progressive dementia or very young onset dementia, a cerebrospinal fluid examination may be performed. The spinal fluid can be tested for biomarkers that indicate the likelihood of Alzheimer's disease. Future diagnostic testsResearchers are working with doctors to develop new diagnostic tools to help definitively diagnose Alzheimer's. Another important goal is to detect the disease before it causes the symptoms. New tools under investigation include: Additional approaches to brain imaging More-sensitive tests of mental abilities Measurement of key proteins or protein patterns in blood or spinal fluid (biomarkers) Genetic testing generally isn't recommended for a routine Alzheimer's disease evaluation. The exception is people who have a history of early-onset Alzheimer's disease. However, anyone with a family history of early Alzheimer's needs to meet with a genetic counselor to discuss the risks and benefits of genetic testing.

Suburban residents have opposed large-scale farms in their neighborhood before, but developers are finding they can attract residents to new neighborhoods by including a smaller operation for the community to rally around.
Suburban community farms are the latest offering by developers interested in building an area of residents with joined interests. NPR reports development-supported agriculture is a farm-share program developers are creating to attract new buyers, increase property values and mend the community together.
The farm is a budget-friendly addition for a developer to provide compared to a neighborhood pool or golf course which could cost millions to build and maintain over the years. The farms are also creating a stronger community as neighbors share common interests.
Farms include any and all of the following: livestock, orchards, vegetables and other forms of community gardens. The idea is a more intimate version of community-supported agriculture.
"These projects are becoming more and more mainstream," says Ed McMahon, a fellow with the Urban Land Institute. According to NPR, McMahon estimated at least 200 neighborhoods with some type of development-supported agriculture nationwide.
The idea is polarizing, potential buyers can be turned off, or buy in, instantly.
A development of more than 1,000 houses in Fort Collins, Colo. is planning to hire a full-time farmer to oversee the operation and plans to include a plaza for a farmers market.

You sound like my Dad trying to settle a fight between me and my Brother.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show QuoteFirst and foremost I have no problem with this post other than you don't need to be involved in a direct confrontation with another poster. But frankly while I may or may not agree with your analogy I don't think you are off base in citing the knife to kill a tiger. In fact I think that was kind of clever myself.
However now to be fair to everyone else and the Pacers management here I need to point something out.
You are 100% correct that members of the Pacers were leading us to believe that Danny was further along than what he may or may not have been. However I am pretty certain that you never heard Kevin Pritchard or Donnie Walsh make those statements.
I know that one time after a practice that Walsh was quoted as saying that he had forgotten how good Danny was so again that did lead to the speculation that he not only was on track but there was the subtle hint there that he was maybe approaching old form. I know I fell into that trap, I don't blame management btw, I just admit to being a fan and really hoping.
Now here is the part that I want everyone to take away from this.
Just because there was no trade made doesn't mean one could not have been made. So Vnzla81 has every right to make that complaint. He doesn't know if there was one either but it is his right to speculate. Remember he was saying all along that Granger was going to be the way he is at the current moment so in his mind this was a no brainer. Now the rest of us don't think like that but he is not wrong to have those thoughts.
Now Vnzla81 you need to take away from this that you don't know that the Pacers didn't try. Don't buy into the Wells piece that they were watching practice instead of working the phones. In this day and age they have smart phones, lap tops other devices and they could have been reached at any time. You don't know that they didn't look and try and do something and then ultimately decided they just couldn't get anything reasonable done.
You have the right to be upset and IMO you have the right to say "told you so" because this is what you were saying all along. But you can't say that they didn't try either because we just don't know.
Also to everyone, let's keep this above the belt line. If you don't like what a poster has to say then you have the right to say something to them but not about them.

Tinted out, you ain't seeing through
All black everything, this shit like a HBCU
Maybach music, major moves
I'm saving major loot
I make my old bitch buy me all the latest shoes
One whip just ain't enough, I just seen 33
You only half a W without a second V
Gotta be dreamin, gotta be chosen
Shawty when I was 20 I had a Camry and tokens
But now I'm ok, bitch I got my shit together
Rozay told me keep on working, shawty you'll be rich forever, ever
Forever my endeavours and I sever my opponents

The dilemma is, you think I got no conscience
You think I just here flossing and talking?
[Verse 2: Jadakiss]
Dependin' on how I feel, either the coupe or sedan
I'm only dealin' with you, nothin' to do with your man
Niggas ruin your plans, it's best to do what you can

Hand to hand in the cold

Work straight out the kitchen
Ain't no competition
You just shut up and listen and you can complete the mission
Know you want me to fall

You heard I was in jail, well I just came from the mall
I'm on my way to the jeweler bout to cop me a Muller
Keep the digital ruler at arm's length of the Ruger

Woooh, race my niggas, and I bet you never pass me like a free safety
I'm Polamalu, 600 the newest model
My newest motto to use a condom with newest models
Uhh, got a hundred on the dash, young
Ya ain't killers ya'll got hundred yard dash guns
I'm a rare one, camo's and some rare ones
Where I'm from is a circus hope you don't expect a fair one
Dropping hundreds like it ain't nothin'
Really it was but you know I never sayin' nothin'
First single from MMG's "Self Made" album, produced by the Maybach Music Group. LLC
A "600 Benz" is an S600, CL600 or SL600, a top model of Mercedes (interestingly, Wale gives a shout to BMWs tho..)
Wale wants people to know that this song is about the grind to get a 600 Benz as opposed to him actually having one.

text: Bud Selig, just like any commissioner in one of the four major North American professional sports leagues, has been a lightning rod for criticism during his 17-year tenure at the helm of Major League Baseball. He was acting commissioner for 6 years before that, beginning in 1992, giving him two decades of leadership. He plans to retire after the 2014 season during which he will turn 80 years old and while there is rampant speculation on who might replace him, there is no question that the game of baseball is in a lot different place than it was when he began his leadership. Our blog has evaluated his legacy in two parts, the first evaluated the top five things Bud Selig did right. This blog will explore the top five things he did not handle so well.

Dec. 3, 2007
Whooping Crane Numbers Break Record Fifth Year In A Row
AUSTIN, Texas — Wildlife scientists report that for the fifth year in a row a record-breaking number of whooping cranes have completed their winter migration to the Coastal Bend area of Texas. So far, 257 whoopers have reached Texas, breaking the previous count of 237 whoopers present during last year's winter, and experts predict more are on the way.
"I estimate that more than 97 percent of the flock has completed the migration so far. We know of four birds that are still in migration, so that raises the estimated flock size to 261," said National Whooping Crane Coordinator Tom Stehn.
In addition to increasing their numbers, whoopers have also expanded their range. The Aransas National Wildlife Refuge is the primary wintering home for the cranes, but this year a record-high 82 cranes were documented on Matagorda Island, a record 13 on the Lamar Peninsula, and the 31 cranes at Welder Flats tie the previous record high there.
Whoopers have also settled on private lands such as San Jose Island and the Lamar Peninsula, and private landowners are also playing a significant role by providing flock activity updates and observations.
"We've passed the highest number we've seen since counts began in 1937 said Lee Ann Johnson Linam, TPWD wildlife biologist. "The good news is that for the last several years we've set a new record each year, so we're on the right track."
Whooping cranes have been on the endangered species list since 1970, when only 56 birds survived in the wild in a flock that wintered in Texas and nested in Canada. That flock passed the 100-bird mark in 1986 and the 200-bird mark in 2004. Texas continues to play a key role in the survival and recovery of this endangered species, and today the flock that winters in Texas continues to be the only self-sustaining wild population in the world.
Although the majority of whoopers have completed the migration, conservationists are still asking the public to report any sightings of whooping cranes to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department at (800) 792-1112, ext. 4644 or (512) 847-9480. Sightings may also be reported through e-mail (email@example.com). Additional information about the whooping cranes and how to see them may be found on the TPWD Web site.

So I was thinking about how I'd fix the team, and I thought about the ever-rumored JO-for-KG swap. Of course, that's not a good deal for the T-Wolves right now, so I wondered what it would take to make it work. They'd need to get rid of some salary... they have some serious long-term committments they'll want to get out from.
First off, include JO and KG. Easy. Then throw in Croshere (ending contract) and Troy Hudson (their worst contract). Then include Jack and AJ for Marko Jaric and their #6 pick.
JO/Cro/Jack/AJ for KG/Jaric/Hudson/Pick.
Yeah, we'd need more moves after that. But we'd have a great pick to play with, plus we'd keep our mid-round pick. We'd clear up about $5 mil in salary, which is significant.
You think they'd do it? They don't get a bunch of attractive young talent in return, but they do get solid players (possibly 3 starters) and they get rid of their two worst contracts.

Four GirlsLogic puzzles require you to think. You will have to be logical in your reasoning.
A man escapes from jail with help from his girlfriend. Four girls are accused of being the man's girlfriend. His girlfriend is lying. Two girls are innocent and telling the truth. The other girl is the man's sister who is helping the girlfriend lie. Who is the man's sister?
Amanda: "Melinda is his girlfriend."
Vanessa: "Eva is lying."
Eva: "Amanda is lying."
Melinda: "Vanessa is not his sister."
AnswerIf Amanda is telling the truth, then Melinda is lying. If Melinda is lying, then Vanessa is his sister. If Vanessa is his sister, then she's lying about Eva lying. If Eva isn't lying, then Amanda is lying, which would contradict the fact that Amanda's telling the truth. That means Amanda is lying and could be his girlfriend or sister.
Eva must be telling the truth since Amanda has to be lying. So Vanessa must also be lying, and Melinda is telling the truth. Since Melinda's telling the truth, Vanessa isn't his sister and must be his girlfriend. Amanda is the other liar, so she must be his sister.
Answer: Amanda

'The Sabres' franchise goaltender possesses many of the key attributes an organization desires when it makes a hefty long-term financial commitment. He's driven, passionate, accountable and, most tellingly, willing to risk his reputation that he can help turn the franchise around. Imagine that. A player with market clout electing to remain a Sabre. Now there's a pleasant turn of events. Too bad goaltenders can't wear the "C."'

PUPILS from Gaer Junior School learning support class enjoyed a day out last week when they went to watch a Newport County AFC training session.
Teachers Cath Aylward-Taylor and Alison Bakhtiari brought the whole class to the Cardiff University Playing Fields in Llanrumney to meet the County players and manager Justin Edinburgh.
The trip was organised by the club's community development officer Norman Parselle.
Mrs Aylward-Taylor explained: "Norman comes in to coach the children with (community development coach) Declan Flanagan.
"The children have been doing special homework over the last few months and we won an award.
"The reward was to come down to meet the Newport County players and the children all got photographs and had their shirts signed.
"They were very excited about the visit and they all had a wonderful time."
Parselle added: "It was a great day for the kids and they deserved it because the standard of their homework was amazing.
"They've found out all sorts of amazing facts about football in Wales, County and even Spytty the Dog as well.
"They met Justin Edinburgh and the players and their behaviour was excellent so they were all happy."
Also last week, Parselle and the Exiles' former Wales defender Darcy Blake visited Swffryd Primary School in Crumlin.
Parselle added: "On behalf of the community team I would like to say a big thank you to Justin and the coaching staff for organising the players and they have always made themselves and the playing squad available for our community events.
"The players have been brilliant and, win or lose, they always make themselves available post-match to meet and greet our community club of the week and patiently sign autographs and have photos taken with the kids.
"It really is appreciated and shows the type of club Newport County AFC is."

Dodgers prepare for Barney's arrival
LOS ANGELES -- Dodgers manager Don Mattingly expects newly acquired infielder Darwin Barney to join the club as soon as Wednesday.
Barney, acquired from the Cubs for a player to be named later or cash on Monday, will provide the Dodgers with a sure-handed fielder off the bench. Barney, 28, won a Gold Glove as the Cubs' second baseman in 2012.
"I think we look at him as a depth guy -- obviously, a guy that's a Gold Glove second baseman," Mattingly said Tuesday. "I think we feel like he can play short. We think he can play third, and he kind of adds depth to what we're doing."
Mattingly wouldn't say what the corresponding move would be when the club adds Barney to the roster.
"We usually don't talk about those until we're going to do something," he said.
Barney has primarily been a glove-first player for the Cubs, batting .244/.290/.335 in his five-year career. He's hitting .230 with two home runs and 16 RBIs in 204 at-bats this season.

Canadian researchers have found some interesting evidence that incomplete milking for the first five days after calving could lower a cow's risk of ketosis.
The research showed that not milking out fresh cows completely lowered the amount of NEFA (nonesterified fatty acid) and BHBA (β-hydroxybutyrate) in the blood. NEFA and BHBA are indicators of the degree of negative energy balance of a cow.
During the experiment, cows were milked twice a day, with researchers collecting 6 liters of milk on day one, 8 liters on day two, 10 liters on day three, 12 liters on day four, and 14 liters on day five. After five days postpartum, the cows were milked out completely twice a day for the rest of the study period.
Milk taken from the cows milked incompletely through day five was 35 percent of the amount of milk taken from the control cows, but there was no effect of incomplete milking on overall milk production for the lactation.
The study found concentrations of NEFA and BHBA were lower for the incompletely milked cows compared to control cows until 21 days in milk.
Based on BHBA concentrations, the percentage of cows diagnosed with clinical ketosis was much lower for the incompletely milked group compared to control cows. In fact, 6 percent (1 out of 16) of cows in the incompletely milked group met the criteria for clinical ketosis compared to 47 percent (7 out of 15) of cows in the control treatment.
