13 Reasons to Watch TV This Fall
A recipe for a good show usually includes a hot girl, or two, or three. Well it is the time of the year when networks roll out their new fall shows, which can only mean one thing, new good looking talent (or in some of these shows, old still good looking talent). We have looked at every single new show debuting this fall from ABC to Sci-Fi network, and found the reasons to turn on the tube this fall.
"Flash Forward" has the difficult task of replacing ABC's "Lost" in 2010. One thing that is not difficult is to watch Peyton List. During the first episode, the only thing that kept me interested, besides the possibility of John Cho from American Pie chanting MILF, MILF, MILF, was Peyton List. Keep your eye on this hottie. she is rumored to portray Lara Croft in the next Tomb Raider movie.
The newest chapter in the "Stargate" saga is sure to have nerds all over the world drooling over this new Sci-Fi hottie. Men, introduce your pocket protectors to Elyse Levesque. This new Stargate girl is sure to be the hottest girl on the Sci-Fi network, making Dungeons and Dragons and World of Warcraft a thing of the past.
The new ABC series from Jerry Bruckheimer is just what we need, another crime drama to go a long with the 30 other forensic science dramas that are already in prime-time. However, this one might be different, and it might be because of Candace played by Michele Borth. I have not seen this show yet but in all of her pictures she looks amazing. I'll give this show one shot but if she's not analyzing DNA or fingerprints in her lingerie, I'm out!
Trachtenberg plays Chloe Payne, a nurse on the new show "Mercy". Trachtenberg has come a long way from her "The Adventures of Pete and Pete" days and still looks very good . This show is looking to be a hit like ER so you will probably be seeing a lot of Trachtenberg, which I am not complaining about.
I am ashamed to admit I had never heard of Sofia Vergara before seeing the previews for the new show, "Modern Family." Turns out, after a healthy amount of research (I provided pictures to back up my claim) Vergara is not random at all, with roles in movies like Soul Plane and Madea goes to Jail. She has also been in TV shows like My Wife and Kids and Entourage. She now has the pleasure of being Ed O'Neil's wife in the new ABC sitcom, "Modern Family." If Peg Bundy would've looked this good, "Married With Children" would still be on the air.
Daniela Ruah will be teaming up with Chris O'Donnel and LL Cool J for the latest installment of "NCIS". I don't know what makes this NCIS different from the original, but one thing I do know is be very careful if you want to see more reel on Daniela Ruah. It just so happens there is a Czech porn star with a very close name to Ruah. It took me a few minutes to realize that Danielle Rush who was nominated for the 2003 AVN award for group sex, is NOT the same girl as the NCIS star. (if I had a nickel for every time I made this mistake)
I was about to say that I have had it with all of these vampire shows until I saw Katerina Graham. I have seen everything from Trueblood to Twilight, and although Sookie Stackhouse is a looker, she can't stack up to Graham. I might have to give this vampire hype one last look.
"V" is based on the 80's miniseries with the same title. For those of us that were not around to see the original, "V" is about the "visitors" that come to Earth to learn and spread hope to the culture. Based on the 3 minute trailer on ABC.com this show looks pretty good with all of the special effects and story-lines. One thing that makes it easy on the eyes is Laura Vandervoort who plays Lisa, a recruiter for the visitors. Vandervoort is making a run at Elyse Levesque for hottest sci-fi chick this fall. What I would give for one night on the mother ship with Vandervoort.
Last month there would have been no way that I watched an episode of Melrose Place and now I am about 50/50 split and the only reason is Katie Cassidy. Her spread in Maxim is unreal and if "Melrose Place" promises to be a 60 minute re-run of the photo shoot then I am setting my Tivo as we speak.
Courteney Cox has still got it. When I first heard about "Cougar Town" being green-lit I was hoping it was not going to be a sitcom version of the Real Housewives of Orange County. I believe Cox looks better now on "Cougar Town" then she did during Friends. Check out her photos in the gallery below, Meow!
She is on probably the only new show that I was looking forward to watching this season, the highly anticipated comedy, "Community" on NBC. She also stars on Madmen which is the farthest thing from a comedy. Brie looks good on the show and her tight body certainly followed her to NBC. Then again, anything next to Chevy Chase looks like a 10.
What could anyone possibly say negatively about the hottest Mom on this website? Rebecca Romijn ditched Jesse and The Rippers but she looks better than ever and we couldn't care less what her new show is about. Something tells me it is either about witches or a bowling alley, either way I'll see her on ABC starting September 23rd.
It seems like Fox has been promoting its new comedy "Glee" since "Parker Lewis Can't Lose" left the air. Either way Glee is featuring a cheerleader that is going to have all of America cheering. However, Quinn Fabray (Agron) will not be getting R-O-W-D-Y as she doubles as the Christ Crusaders (the celibacy club) President. Maybe she'll be the reason I start going back to Church.

A game theoretic-model of multinational firm location
The paper deals with a location game involving two symmetric firms. The players choose strategies in a spatial setting made up by two asymmetric countries,where the smallest country has a labour cost advantage. Determination of equilibrium location patterns enables to assess under what conditions both forms of foreign direct investment (horizontal and vertical) will take place in terms of a set of parameters (namely market size, relative size of the small country, and extent of its cost advantage). The firms interact through input transactions that bring about multiplicity of equilibria. An application to the evolution of the Portuguese car industry is performed.

Protocols for Micropropagation of Selected Economically-Important Horticultural Plants pp 3-18 | Cite as
Micropropagation of Pear (Pyrus sp.)
Elements of micropropagation include establishment of shoot tip cultures, proliferation, rooting, and acclimatization of the resulting plantlets. The wide genetic variation in Pyrus makes micropropagation challenging for many genotypes. Initiation of shoots is most successful from forced dormant shoots or from scions grafted onto seedling rootstocks to impose juvenility. Clean shoots are recovered after testing for contaminants at the initiation stage on ½ strength Murashige and Skoog 1962 medium (MS), at pH 6.9 for 1 week or by streaking on nutrient agar. Although pear species and cultivars are cultured on several well-known media, MS is the most commonly used. Our studies showed that multiplication and growth of shoots are best on Pear Medium with higher concentrations of calcium chloride, potassium phosphate, and magnesium sulfate than MS medium and 4.4 μM N6 benzyladenine. Pear shoots are often recalcitrant to rooting; however, a 5 s dip in 10 mM indole-3-butyric acid or naphthalene acetic acid before planting on basal medium without plant growth regulators is effective for many genotypes. Pear shoots store well at 1–4°C, and can hold for as long as 4 years without reculture. Cryopreservation protocols are available for long-term storage of pear shoot tips. Acclimation of in vitro-rooted or micrografted shoots in a mist bed follows standard procedures.

Night skies, etc.
Aha! Does not seem possible, but already we've gained an hour of daylight since solstice. And! Saturday, Feb. 2, is the infamous day known as Groundhog Day (halfway through winter - maybe!), tracing it's origins back to pagan days and to the English, Scots and Germans. For the pagans, it was a celebration of Imbolc, the midpoint between the Winter Solstice and Spring Equinox and for others, it was known as Candlemas Day. In 1723, the Delaware Indians settled Punxsutawney, Pa., as a campsite halfway between the Allegheny and Susquehanna rivers and they considered groundhogs their ancestral grandfather "Wojak" (woodchuck), using him as their sign about the balance of winter. German settlers to the area brought the tradition of Candlemas with them and used a badger as their "test." Superstition holds that if the weather is sunny/fair (and now, Pete sees his shadow), we're in for six more weeks of wintry weather, stormy and cold. I love a German poem: "For as the sun shines on Candlemas Day, so far will the snow swirl until May. For as the snow blows on Candlemas Day, so far will the sun shine before May." We'll see!

Ralph Melton Texas Monthly has an article coming up on how to smoke a brisket, as instructed by Louie Mueller Barbecue. The article (registration required to read it all) is at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasmonthly.com%2Fpreview%2F2010-05-01%2Fthemanual&h=8a5d9 . My favorite quote: "If you can poke your finger at least an inch deep into it, the brisket should be tender." There's a video to go with it at http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.texasmonthly.com%2Fmultimedia&h=8a5d9 ; I found the video even more useful and entertaining than the article.
Ralph Melton We talked to Wayne at the New Orleans Roadfood Festival, and he said that that was the first event they'd done with the catering smoker; it was less than a year old.

Implementation of March Algorithm Based MBIST Architecture for SRAM
This paper presents the implementation of March Algorithm based Memory Built-In Self Test (MBIST) architecture for Static Random Access Memory (SRAM). A Finite State Machine (FSM) is designed to implement March - based Test algorithm. Also SRAM block and the interfacing modules are presented. There is a standard March Test Algorithm with 22N where N is the number of memory words, read/write operations is discussed. The proposed March test algorithm with 13N can achieve full diagnosis for SRAM. This digital system is described in Verilog HDL and is simulated and synthesized using Xilinx Spartan 3 FPGA.

Hope for Lowering Vet Unemployment with IAVA and Cisco's "Career Pathfinder"
CONTACT: Zack Baddorf (212) 982-9699 or firstname.lastname@example.com
Hope for Lowering Vet Unemployment with IAVA and Cisco's "Career Pathfinder"
Announced during TED 2013, online tool will help thousands of vets nationwide
LONG BEACH, CA (Feb. 28, 2013) – Today, Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America proudly unveiled "Career Pathfinder", an innovative online employment tool for returning veterans. Funded by Cisco and powered by Futures Inc., this innovative tool was revealed during the 2013 TED Conference and will help the 2.5 million veterans of Iraq and Afghanistan transition from combat to career using technology.
"The Career Pathfinder is what Steve Jobs might have called a disruptor. With the unacceptably high veteran unemployment rate, the Pathfinder proves that technology can be the fuel injection that gets us to deeper impacts and greater scale," said IAVA Founder and CEO Paul Rieckhoff. "Career Pathfinder represents the evolution of the job fair. IAVA knows that transitioning from combat to career can be tough. Every day, we hear from our members that they need help translating their military skills, finding employers who value their background and deciphering out what education they need to be successful – enter Career Pathfinder to turn those failures into successes."
"We are proud to unveil this new product during TED, where we can highlight the tech-centric approach that IAVA uses to deliver service and support from coast to coast," Rieckhoff continued. "Cisco has been dedicated and visionary in their support of IAVA and the new veterans community. The Pathfinder is just one example of how both Cisco and Futures are championing the New Greatest Generation. They have our backs, and we hope more corporations will follow their lead."
"Veterans' experience and skills don't always easily map to civilian job descriptions yet they are invaluable in today's workforce," said Cisco Director of Corporate Affairs Michael Veysey. "Technology can help bridge this gap and, in addition to our own hiring efforts, Cisco is proud to provide the networking platform to connect veterans with meaningful employment opportunities."
"Whether someone is looking for a job or seeking the best talent to fill a position, Career Pathfinder offers a powerful array of award-winning career support and job connection resources," said Futures Inc. CEO Geoff Cramer. "Whether you are an employer or a potential employee, our platform is remarkably effective at putting the right person in the right place at the right time."

Michael Jerry Maestas, a 41-year-old San Jose resident, was apprehended last week in connection to a felony hit-and-run that seriously injured and hospitalized an 80-year-old Milpitas man last month, Milpitas Police Department reported.
On March 16 at 8:46 p.m., Milpitas police responded to the intersection of South Park Victoria and Canton drives on the report of an automobile versus pedestrian collision, police said.
Officers arrived and located an elderly man unresponsive in the intersection. The victim was transported to a local hospital in critical condition, but is expected to survive, police said.
The suspect vehicle, described by witnesses at the scene as a newer gold-colored Chevrolet Silverado pick-up truck, had fled southbound on South Park Victoria Drive, police said.
Traffic officers immediately began an investigation and eventually developed information about a possible suspect.
Milpitas police Sgt. Raj Maharaj said investigators used video surveillance footage from the 76 gas station at the intersection of East Calaveras Boulevard and South Park Victoria Drive to determine the type of vehicle involved.
"We had a witness come forward and identify (the suspect) in the video," Maharaj said.
On March 26, Milpitas police located the involved vehicle, determined to be a silver 2001 Toyota Tundra extra cab, and the suspect, identified as Maestas, in San Jose. The suspect was booked into Santa Clara County Jail on charges of felony hit-and-run, police said.
Maharaj said investigators were now examining the Toyota Tundra, which was booked into evidence. He added no information about the cause of the crash was being released pending further examination of the truck including any vehicle damage and its approximate speed of travel at the time of the collision — believed to be about 35 mph.
Additionally, Maharaj said the victim's family was notified immediately after the suspect's arrest.
"They were contacted first," he said. "They were appreciative of the efforts by police in making the arrest."
Maharaj added the victim is slowly improving though still suffering from his injuries.
Anyone with any information regarding this investigation is asked to call Milpitas Police Department at (408) 586-2400. Information can also be given anonymously by calling (408) 586-2500.

Jackie Hope: Talking turkey
By Jackie Hope
It's coming: the biggest four-day weekend of the year. It's the motherlode of Mom's cooking, followed by the big kahuna of shopping, with some good football thrown in between. All riiiight! Thanksgiving and Black Friday!
Don't you just love Thanksgiving? It comes before the advent of Advent, when the days are shortening and the lists for Santa are lengthening. It's not quite Christmas, but it has a feel of anticipation. And we all know that anticipation is three-quarters of the pleasure. Aren't you eagerly anticipating Thanksgiving dinner?
The Plimoth Plantation's website, www.plimoth.org, tells us the Continental Congress proclaimed the first national Thanksgiving in 1777. But celebratory harvest feasting harkens to the Plymouth Colony in Massachusetts, where the Pilgrims and the Wampanoag Native Americans commemorated the Pilgrims' first harvest in 1621.
Florida, Texas, Maine and Virginia have conflicting historical claims for holding the first Thanksgiving celebration. Texas? So was the first pit barbecue held in the early 17th century? Were they eating jalapeno poppers and chipotle chicken? Thanksgiving was celebrated intermittently until the mid-20th century when, in 1941, Congress set Thanksgiving Day as the fourth Thursday in November. Hey, whatever way you slice it, that is a ton of turkey and a pile of pumpkin pies over the past four centuries.
Canada celebrates its own Thanksgiving Day, too, on the second Monday of October. This year, many Canadians were thankful they did not live in Toronto.
Dickinson has its own Thanksgiving feasting tradition. The beauty part of our tradition? Each and every one of you is invited to dinner. Oh yeah! Turkey and dressing, potatoes and gravy, pie and whipped cream, coffee and … and lots of good stuff. Think this sounds too good to be true? For real! Just show up at the Ramada Grand Dakota Lodge between 11 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. on Thanksgiving Day. Be sure to come hungry. Stuck at home that day? Then call 701-290-7509 to arrange for your meal to be delivered. Call quickly though, because today is the last day to arrange for home delivery. And there is no charge for this lavish spread. How amazing is that?
Know what is even better than eating? Shopping! OK, shopping for things to eat is the best of the best, but plain ol' shopping for stuff is pretty cool, too.
Black Friday is the queen mother of shopping days. There are off sales, on sales, online sales, on-site sales, and even late-in-the-day slacker sales for people who sleep in. It's the official opening day of the Christmas gift hunting season, and you can go big-game hunting for things like "Hungry Hungry Hippos," "Whac-A-Mole" and "Pokemon."
On Black Friday, stores are up all night, shoppers are up all night and things get a little crazy.
Who remembers the "Light Bulb and TP Affair" at the big-box store years ago? It was one of Dickinson's first Black Friday 5 a.m. openings, and nearly the whole town turned out for discounted light bulbs and bathroom tissue.
There we all were, squashed into about 3 square yards of floor space near the too-small sale displays because the store managers did not realize all of us were coming. Well of course we all came. We knew a bargain when we saw it.
Unfortunately, most of us never even got a glimpse of those bargains. We saw the tops of each other's heads, shreds of plastic TP packages on the floor and rolls of Charmin taking flight as people grabbed for them. No one knows if there were actually any light bulbs for cheap that morning. All we could hear was a distant and muffled, "Pop! Pop!" as boxes of bulbs were ripped apart, and the bulbs did a "lights out" onto the floor.
Good times, people!
Not long after, the big box launched another marketing misadventure. They sailed paper plates, with free money coupons attached, from the store's roof. It does not take an MBA or even a business major to know what happened next.
Have you ever seen a pack of golden retrievers, all after the same Frisbee? Imagine a couple hundred people chasing after a paper plate Frisbee. Some of those people were using their teeth, just like retrievers do. One lady claimed she came away with a broken nose and never did find her glasses. But she got a coupon for a free $5, so hey, it was worth her trouble.
Since then, merchandisers have learned how to manage Black Friday sales, so we all can have a piece of the action — a slice of the pie. How?
Drumstick roll, please: online shopping. Badabing! Shopping bling! There are apps that list stores and leak ads. Heck, there are apps where you make your own lists of deals and compare prices, so you know which store's site has the cheapest Snuggies and Potato Expresses and Pocket Hoses. Because you can never have enough Pocket Hoses. Plus, they make great gifts for … for people who like to carry hoses in their pockets.
OK, now what are we gonna do this weekend? Eat! And where can we go to enjoy our Thanksgiving meal with others? The Community Thanksgiving Dinner at the Ramada Grand Dakota Lodge! What are we gonna do after we eat ourselves full? Watch football until we fall asleep! Shop 'til we drop! Order Pocket Hoses online! Livin' "la vida loca," baby!

Hayden Inside view with Brandon Williams, a Houston-based independent sportswriter: CFBZ: Houston had an unremarkable season in Tony Levine's debut (5-7), but the Cougars enter a new conference (The American) with new coordinators and presumably a new outlook. How different is this team? Brandon Williams: To be honest, it's a mixed bag. On the one hand, the Coogs bring back four offensive linemen, while QB David Piland will be better after enduring a physically and mentally challenging 2012 after replacing school icon Case Keenum. On the other hand, Houston has new coordinators on both sides of the ball (Doug Meacham/offense, Dave Gibbs/defense); Gibbs has just four returning starters to deal with from a unit which allowed 36 points and 483 yards per game. Make no mistake, UH will continue to spread the field, yet this is a team in the midst of a rebuilding project. Other than the season opener against FCS opponent Southern, there doesn't appear to be a cakewalk on the schedule, especially in the first year of a new conference that includes nationally-ranked Louisville along with rugged programs Rutgers, Central Florida, SMU and Cincinnati. CFBZ: Houston has a history of exceptional quarterback play. David Piland's 2012 performance didn't earn a place among his notable predecessors. Do you anticipate a better 2013, or might we see someone else under center? Brandon Williams: Piland comes off a spring in which he showed considerable improvement, particularly with his decision making. He capped it off with a four-touchdown performance in the spring game, where Piland looked in tune with his receiving corps. He comes in as the undisputed starter, yet if he falters early, redshirt sophomore Bram Kohlhausen will likely get the first look; UH is high on freshman John O'Korn, a dual-threat who could push his way up the depth chart once he arrives in August. CFBZ: Charles Sims sudden departure is a huge roster loss but must also affect team morale. How will the Cougars adjust? Brandon Williams: Sims was perhaps the most important player on the roster; instead of having one the nation's most versatile backs, the Cougars will now look to sophomores Kenneth Farrow (86-446-2) and Ryan Jackson (59-252-3) to fill the void. The departure of Sims at such a late date was a punch in the gut for the team, but it is a program that will shake it off and move forward. CFBZ: The Houston defense is characterized by aggressive, attacking play, but the unit gave up a lot of yards last year. Its starters are quick, if small. How are they likely to fare against some new conference opponents with large offensive lines and established running games? Brandon Williams: How well the defense adjusts to Gibbs' 3-4 scheme will determine if the Cougars will be bowl contenders or rounding out the bottom of the new American Athletic Conference. The plus will be that all four starters return in the secondary, including promising sophomore S Trevon Stewart. The addition of LSU transfer Trevon Randle will be a boost to the defense, but with only one projected starter weighing over 265 pounds, the defense must be destructive to opposing offenses; failing that, another 5-7 season could be the offing. Bottom Line: In the past, the Cougars won by simply outscoring their opponents in shootouts. They will still seek to stretch the field and gain yards – and points – in chunks, but they might not have the offensive firepower to outduel other teams as they have in the past. Charles Sims is a remarkably versatile back, on whom the Cougars were relying heavily. His absence means that opposing defenses do not have to key on him, making their match-ups more favorable. On the other hand, the Coogs' defense needs to take pressure off the offense. Their scheme is solid but execution must follow. With so many departed defensive starters though, Gibbs will need shore-up holes quickly and thoroughly. Levine is very popular among players and fans as well as alumni and administration. He'll need to capitalize on that optimism and a favorable early schedule by posting several wins to start the season and hoping to mature and develop his club in the process. If the Coogs don't have five or more wins by November 1st, a bowl berth won't be easy to come by.

A Pacific video store has launched a Christmas giving idea that focuses on the beginning of children's dreams, which impacts their success in school and in life — the world of books.
From the rhyming books that appeal to the very young, to the intricate tales that captivate fifth-graders, youngsters build their imagination on the early stories they encounter, according to Joella Beekman-Durphy, a Coleman Elementary student teacher, who organized the book drive.
Family Video, 295 N. Western Avenue (at West Osage), where Beekman-Durphy is an employee, will hold a book drive to benefit Coleman Elementary's classroom libraries.
The store will collect new and gently used books for the month of December.
Beekman-Durphy suggested the book drive after store manager Tiffany Economon said the store should do a community service project for the holidays.
"We need to introduce children to the wonderful world of reading," Beekman-Durphy said.
Economon embraced the book drive as a companion to Family Video's annual Report Card 8, a program that encourages students to turn in good report cards at the store in exchange for free movies.
"We're all about encouraging kids to read and to love stories," Economon said.
The 30-day drive seeks to collect books for each of the kindergarten through fifth-grade levels.
In some cases, four to six copies of one book would help teachers use the book in literary circles, where a small group of students read a book and the teacher discusses things like sequence, plot and character development.
"It's a more personal involvement way to read than have the teacher stand at the front of the classroom and lecture," Beekman-Durphy said.
One of several UMSL student teachers at Coleman, Beekman-Durphy said she has worked with students at all grade levels and sees the value of the classroom libraries. There are four kindergarten classrooms at Coleman Elementary and three of every other grade level.
"All children should be afforded the opportunities that reading brings," she said. "Many classroom teachers use authentic literature to teach reading strategies. It would be wonderful to have many books to choose from."
The book drive could have the additional advantage of supplying books to send family book bags home that children take home and read as a family activity.
"Our children are not only our future, but our present too. We need to introduce them to the wonderful world of reading when they are young and help them to see the amazing adventure that awaits them," Beekman-Durphy said. "Books inspire our children to dream. When you dream, you can believe and with that a world of endless possibilities await you."
The store also will accept cash donations toward the book drive through Jan. 1, 2014.
For more information, contact Joella Beekman-Durphy at 636-234-8191.

Vascular closure devices are usually a suture or a metallic clip or a piece of collagen which is designed in a peculiar so as to seal the punctured artery. The artery is punctured for certain medical investigations like angiography, or such vascular closure devices have application in attaining hemostasis of the hole which is due to the cardiovascular procedure requiring catheterization. These devices were firstly introduced to the market in the early 1990s. Since then the vascular closure devices has gained a significant growth due its single yet crucial application in the closure of the punctured artery. They also help in reducing the patient discharge and the ambulation time. Before the invention of vascular closure devices, the method closure for the arterial puncture was manual compression. The manual compression required for the closure was up to 30 times the manual pressure. There were other methods too for vascular closure, involving few complications. In the initial phase vascular closure devices concentrated more on the concept of collagen plug and suture. They were successful in the closure along with intravascular component in the artery, which may lead to complications.
Recent technology in the vascular closure devices involves the use of some unique material like polyethylene glycol. They have almost no side effects and also help in improving the comfort level of the patient.

I love numbers. I'll play puzzle, logic, or strategy games until the cows come home.
Numbers can also be reassuring. For this reason, developers tend to analyze all the metrics they can get their hands on. Some of these metrics have little bearing on the performance of their game or app — they're the equivalent of judging the length of winter by whether or not Punxsutawney Phil sees his shadow.
When setting up analytics and event tracking, it is imperative to think critically about what it is you look to gain. For small studios without a dedicated data analyst, tracking too much or inefficiently can drown you in data overload. For larger publishers and advertisers, it might make sense to keep track of all the data you can, but this can easily overwhelm a smaller operation.
At a high level, almost all developers want to use analytics to increase engagement, retention, and monetization. With these end goals in mind, here are six event metrics that aren't critical in measuring the performance of your game. (Non-game developers can also apply some of these tips to their apps as well.)
Menu clicks
Knowing that a player tapped on menu buttons (or pause or mute) won't yield significant insights toward fine-tuning the important stuff: retention, engagement, and monetization. One potential counterpoint is tracking when a user visits the store, but even seeing this is unnecessary. Your storefront should be easy to reach –- a single click away from any screen -– without being in the user's face.
More relevant monetization metrics like Conversion Rate and Average Revenue Per Daily Active User (ARPDAU) from in-app purchases will let you know if users can find the store easily — and if they value the currency.
Use of consumables
Developers often measure the success of their game by tracking how their gamers use in-game consumables such as power-ups. This shows the developers if users buy a bunch and keep them for later or if they use them right away.
As far as consumable in-app purchases go, the most important element is that users buy the power-up. It's not as relevant whether someone buys consumables and hoards them for later use or buys a few and uses them right away. However, if you're using predictive analytics to push a promotion when someone runs out, it's a smart tactic.
Viewed, cancelled, and failed purchases
A failed purchase is a quality assurance issue that should be fixed before your game goes live in its proper marketplace. Viewed and cancelled purchases will be reflected by weak monetization metrics. More importantly, these numbers don't provide you with the user's intent. Is it the unconvinced user checking out what items exist in the game, or is it a potential buyer who needs more currency? Unfinished purchase data often raises more questions than answers.
Overly specific game mechanics
It's a safe assumption that if you make a racing game, your users will be changing gears a lot. Everyone, from the payers and the non-payers, tends to shift up in racing games. You will not be able to segment those who have executed the event "shift up" and compare them to the few players that immediately bounced after download.
How often users quit or retry certain levels
If there is a problem with balancing a certain level or quest, a basic funnel will quickly identify this. All you need to track the steps of users through each level to completion. Numbers regarding quits and retries will only muddle your event tracking.
Game ratings
Developers with the bandwidth to keep track of user ratings will probably want to do so through whatever marketplace it's available in. Although ratings can reflect a lot for developers, they're often hard to take away an actionable response from. This is another example of a data point that can create clutter.
The mobile space as a whole is making great strides toward creating fun experiences with great content. Analytics, game data, and understanding user behavior are incredible complements to game design and creativity. Don't be afraid to start using an analytics product, and don't overwhelm yourself or your team tracking unnecessary data points. If you can't prove something with the metrics you are tracking, you should not be tracking those metrics.

SureChem launches its first enterprise product, offering direct API access
SureChem, our patent chemistry product line, today launches a new enterprise product called 'SureChemDirect'. The tool will provide API access to the content that powers SureChem: patent full text and metadata currently comprising 12 million structures, 90 million patent abstracts and full text records from US, European and WIPO patent authorities. SureChemDirect enables customers to incorporate sophisticated chemical patent search into their workflows, perform batch services on their own platforms, and enhance their internal databases. The announcement was made in line with this week's American Chemical Society (ACS) meeting in Philadelphia, where the team is exhibiting and presenting.
SureChemDirect is the second product released in the SureChem product line, following the launch of SureChemOpen last March, their free portal for researchers. Both aid in making patent chemistry search (think: early stage drug development) more streamlined and approachable for researchers and businesses alike, putting high-powered tools and databases into the hands of those who use them.
The underlying technology works to make patent chemistry less painful and less reliant on brittle string matching and text string searches by allowing chemists to search how they think – in chemical structures – the interface allowing users to actually *draw* chemical structures and sift through the database that way. This functionality, paired with highly curated underlying content, makes for an extremely powerful tool – with that premium content now available for use via SureChemDirects's API access.
For more information, see the official press release, or visit www.surechem.com.

Haunted Hospital's Exorcism
BY Tom Hoopes
| Posted 1/31/09 at 11:00 AM
Tomorrow's Gospel is all about exorcisms. So is yesterday's Derby, UK, news.
"Hospital managers have called in an exorcist after shaken workers complained they are being terrified by a ghost," Tom Wells reports in a story that first appeared in UK's The Sun.
A source told the reporter: "Several have seen a male figure cloaked from head to toe in black darting between rooms and through walls – especially in departments near the morgue.
One said: "There have been dozens of sightings over recent weeks and people are scared witless."
The story quotes from an e-mail that went to all staff from a manager: "I'm not sure how many of you are aware that some members of staff have reported seeing a ghost.
"I'm taking it seriously as the last thing I want is staff feeling uneasy at work."
She said the hospital "is going to arrange for someone from the cathedral to exorcise the department."
Church teaching is silent on ghosts. Which leaves open the possibility that Hamlet is right when he tells Horatio that "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy."
But it isn't silent on exorcism. Says the Catechism (No. 1673):
"When the Church asks publicly and authoritatively in the name of Jesus Christ that a person or object be protected against the power of the Evil One and withdrawn from his dominion, it is called exorcism. Jesus performed exorcisms and from him the Church has received the power and office of exorcizing.
"In a simple form, exorcism is performed at the celebration of Baptism. The solemn exorcism, called 'a major exorcism,' can be performed only by a priest and with the permission of the bishop. The priest must proceed with prudence, strictly observing the rules established by the Church.
"Exorcism is directed at the expulsion of demons or to the liberation from demonic possession through the spiritual authority which Jesus entrusted to his Church. Illness, especially psychological illness, is a very different matter; treating this is the concern of medical science. Therefore, before an exorcism is performed, it is important to ascertain that one is dealing with the presence of the Evil One, and not an illness."
I take heart in what a papal translator once told me: "The devil is a kindergartner compared to Jesus and Mary."

Via spacing on high-performance PCBs
In the last twenty years multilayer PCBs have become nearly a must for all electronic designs. This is for several reasons:
- Higher density pins and pin count on ICs has increased the routing density of our designs.
- Twenty years ago there were no QFNs and 144-pin packages in everyday use.
- The speed at which our circuits operate has increased probably four fold.
- Twenty years ago RF was commonly defined as everything below 1 GHz; now RF is everything below 6 GHz.
These speeds and densities have driven PCB design also. Where 20 years ago we may have only used microstrip for our RF traces, today we use microstrip, co-planar waveguide and stripline in our multilayer designs [1][2].
In RF design we typically need to work with only the fundamental frequency of operation. For instance: In a 2.4-GHz RF design the goal is to have a nice 2.4-GHz sine wave on our board with low harmonics. The frequencies that we need to be concerned with are really 2.4 GHz.
In digital design, the goal is to have a nice square wave on our board. A 1-GHz digital data signal needs to be square for a good eye diagram. This means that the true operating bandwidth of these traces needs to be at least five times the fundamental frequency or 5 GHz. This is from the rule of thumb that for a good-quality digital signal you need to pass at least the 5th harmonic of that signal.
Naturally there are exceptions to these two rules, but for the majority of the signals and designs we encounter they hold true.
At 6 GHz, a wavelength on FR-4 PCB material is only about 1 inch. With the speeds and frequencies we work with today we can easily get a wavelength or more on our board, so via spacing starts to be an important question.
What is the proper via spacing for a PCB and what happens if we get it wrong?
Ground Vias
Multilayer PCBs, especially when designed for RF, may have many layers of ground; even the signal layers typically have ground flooded on them. These grounds need to be all tied together to keep them from acting like stubs or transmission line segments themselves. Or put another way, they need to be a low impedance at all the operating frequencies of the PCB, otherwise they don't look like ground anymore - they start looking reactive to the signals on them.
Any piece of copper, if it isn't terminated in its characteristic impedance, can resonate at 1/4 of a wavelength of the frequency of the current flowing in it (and every 1/2 wavelength after that). Typically we control this by placing stitching vias around the ground planes at some interval. But what is that interval?
I've seen little FM transmitter modules operating at 100 MHz that had vias spaced 30 mils apart, and I've personally built 1-GHz RF circuits that have via spacings of 250 mils (see Figure 1). Clearly the 30-mil spacing of the FM transmitter will work, since it is way closer than 1/4 of a wavelength – but is it overkill?
Figure 1: A section of a 1-GHz PLL synthesizer used in a 1-GHz receiver. The small grey grid dots are spaced at 0.05 inches. The ground vias (yellow circles) are spaced at about 250 mils on average. This circuit operates perfectly well with this via spacing with no signs of ground impedance issues.
Spacing Calculations
Years ago I heard the rule of thumb: "If you space your ground vias at 1/8 of a wavelength or less your ground plane will look like a solid ground."
This is based on the general RF Stub Length principle: "A stub on a trace starts to become a problem as it approaches 1/8 of a wavelength." A stub is any piece of copper that extends away from a terminated trace [3].
The ECL guys of the 1970s knew this well [4] and it is a good rule of thumb for general purpose work [5].
An effective stub can also form on a ground plane. On a section of copper ground plane that is terminated at both ends with ground vias but not in the middle. The impedance of that middle section can actually look very reactive as the length of the spacing between the grounding vias exceeds 1/8th of a wavelength.
On our example FR-4 PCB operating at 6 GHz, a wavelength may be calculated from the well known formula as,
Where F = MHz, λ (wavelength) = meters, Er = 4.4 (for typical FR-4 PCB material [6]).
In tabular form for FR-4 PCB material, 1/8 of a wavelength is approximately,
Figure 2 shows an interesting result: For example - for a small 2x2-inch FM transmitter PCB operating at 100 MHz, a single via in each corner of the board will be way less than 1/8th of a wavelength! And the board will work fine from an RF point of view!

Food & Drink
Sure, chain coffee houses from Seattle dot most high-traffic corners in Miami, but our true caffeine love affair is with Cuban coffee, usually served up from outdoor café windows, or ventanitas. Miami is the only town in the States where, for a fraction of the cost of a cup of designer joe, you can snag espresso-ground deliciousness in a range of strengths.
The most gentle is the cafe con leche, more or less analogous to a latte. The next step up is the cortadito, a mini cup containing about half espresso, half milk. Then, for the caffeine-impervious, there's the colada, a multiple-serving cup of straight coffee, no chaser, best shared and consumed a thimbleful at a time.
The secret? Start with a deep espresso, take a portion and stir up a thick coffee/sugar paste, then blend in the rest of the coffee (ask for just a "little" sugar, and this'll probably get you one teaspoon instead of three). From there, add whatever portion of steamed milk you desire.
"There's a perception that [Cuban coffee] has a lot more caffeine than a regular coffee," says chef Douglas Rodriguez, proprietor of the upscale South Beach Cuban restaurant De Rodriguez Cuba on Ocean. "But technically it isn't more concentrated; what you're getting is that sugar rush." At De Rodriguez Cuba, he prefers beans from a local distributor, Kaña Cuban Coffee Roasters, and creates his foam with the help of a fancy high-powered espresso machine.
But still, that's not too far off from the humble Styrofoam Cafe Bustelo Supremo servings proffered from neighborhood joints like Las Olas Cafe, a tiny authentic eatery on Euclid Avenue and Sixth Street on South Beach. There, customers show up early and seemingly never leave the canopied sidewalk tables, staying wired on a steady drip courtesy of brewer Elsie Hernandez.

good kid/m.A.A.d. reactions: The 20 Best Reactions To Kendrick Lamar's Debut Album
Lamar's father was a member of Chicago's notorious Gangster Disciples, but fled to L.A. to escape that life. Of course, he landed in Compton, and Lamar's childhood was characterized by guns, crack, anger, and fear. He never partook in and is adamantly opposed to the life, but, surrounded by it, is empathetic to its trappings. It's a jarring theme on the album – I can't remember the last time I experienced a piece of art about the experience of being within and without something so desperately. Illmatic? The Third Man? The Great Gatsby? I'm only half kidding. If half.

Terrified residents evacuated after 'pipe bomb' found under car
Several homes in Crumlin had to be evacuated in the early hours of this morning after a suspected pipe bomb was found under a car.
The incident unfolded shortly after 1.30am when a member of the public spotted the device under the vehicle on Parnell Road.
Gardai immediately sealed off the area and the army bomb squad were called to examine the device which looked to be authentic.
It was made up from a metal pipe with wires and a timer visible from it.
After examination the device was deemed to be an elaborate hoax.
The incident is not believed to be connected in any way with the ongoing tensions in Crumlin and the south inner city after the murders of David Byrne in the Regency Hotel last Friday and Eddie Hutch in Ballybough on Monday.

Rock County home completely destroyed by accidental fire
Beth Wheelock
Wednesday, May 28, 2008
A heat lamp on a couch is being blamed for a fire that destroyed a Town of Fulton home at 11636 North Heritage Ridge Street Wednesday afternoon.
Edgerton Fire Chief Brian Demrow says two of the children were home at the time of the fire and called 911. The fire was reported at about 1:30 PM. He says the department called for a MABAS box alarm. Fire departments from Milton, Cambridge, Deerfield, Stoughton, Evansville and the Town of Turtle assisted.
Demrow says the departments used 27,000 gallons of water on the house.

A lot of us have done and gone through this; because regardless how great and amazing we may be the other person can only meet us as far they've met themselves. We've tried to show the best we can offer in the hopes that the wall will crumble and he or she will SEE us. In the interim we waste our time. And for this we are solely responsible by sticking around and allowing them to mistreat and deceit us, only because we BELIEVE. What's more difficult is to see that on the other side there's no ownership or responsibility on the wrong doing. No remorse as if we asked or deserved it.
Yet somehow we learn, we grow and we move forward; because these mishaps prepares us to know better so we can attract and receive better. The rest is up to fate. You get back what you put out.YOU WILL SEE!!!

Chris Sale threw six scoreless innings to notch his 17th victory after being rained out the night before, helping the Chicago White Sox keep their one-game AL Central lead by beating the Minnesota Twins 6-0 on Friday.
Sale (17-6) scattered three singles and struck out five without a walk, cruising to his third win in three starts against the Twins this year.
Sale was supposed to pitch on Thursday at home against Detroit, but the last matchup of the season between the two division front-runners was postponed until Monday by the wet weather. The Tigers, who beat Cleveland 4-0, are one game back in the race.
Dayan Viciedo had two RBIs, Kevin Youkilis homered and Alex Rios doubled, scored and drove in a run for the White Sox, who played without injured slugger Adam Dunn for the seventh straight game. Dunn, who has a strained right oblique muscle, could return to the lineup on Saturday.
The White Sox improved to 12-4 against the Twins this year. But they're just 5-12 against the Tigers, with losses in nine of the last 10 meetings. Both teams have fallen well behind in the AL wild-card standings, leaving the division title their only real opportunity to play in the postseason.
With 19 games remaining, the White Sox play legitimate contenders only eight more times including the pivotal makeup game on Monday. They can't afford to slip up against faded foes like the Twins, who are jostling with the Indians for fourth place.
Sale made sure they didn't, letting only two runners reach second base. Youkilis helped him out at third base with consecutive catches of hard line drives, going down on the ground to his right to snag Jamey Carroll's and then gloving Josh Willingham's on the next play.
Sale, whose transition from reliever to starter this year has been a rousing success, lowered his ERA to 2.78. He's third in the AL in ERA and tied for second in wins.
Esmerling Vasquez (0-2) gave the Twins the best of his three starts since he was brought up from Triple-A Rochester at the beginning of the month, but he was done in again by control problems. He walked three straight batters in the fourth inning after a one-out single, with Viciedo's walk forcing in the second run for Chicago.
Then with two outs in the sixth, after a broken-bat single by A.J. Pierzynski and a walk to Viciedo, Kyle Waldrop relieved Vasquez. Alexei Ramirez greeted him with a single to make it 3-0.
Vasquez had 80 walks over 137 innings, all in relief, for Arizona over the last three seasons. The Twins claimed him on waivers last September. The 28-year-old Dominican needed 113 pitches to make it 5 2-3 innings. He walked five and struck out four, with three hits and three runs allowed.

Breaking Blue is a folk band based in Albuquerque, New Mexico. They write original music and play traditional folk songs with flute rather than the more traditional fiddle. The flute gives the band a celtic sound, while claw hammer banjo lends itself to Old-Time Traditional American Folk Music. The band is fronted by two female vocalists both equally capable of leading the band and have become well known locally for their easy, laid back, and amusing approach to live performances. Percussion and bass add another dimension to the group that will have to tapping your toes and nodding your head to the steady rhythm of even the most beautiful ballad.
Breaking Blue has been performing together since 2009. They have released 2 studio albums and 1 live album. Visit their discography page to listen to and purchase their music.

The cheapest way to cook meals is typically by cooking from-scratch. Here are some tips to help you save money while still eating well.
Plan Out Weekly Meals
Much of the waste that makes buying groceries expensive comes from the fact that people fail to plan what they will eat for the week. Before you go to the grocery store, decide on the meals that you will cook. You should also make sure that you have a plan for incorporating any leftovers into a new meal.
Shop With a Grocery List
Supermarkets purposely arrange items on the shelves in order to attract your attention and hopefully get you to buy items that you had not intended on buying. If you shop with a grocery list, you are less likely to buy items that are expensive or unhealthy.
Look for Sales and Deals
Each week, the majority of supermarkets publish their weekly deals. If you want to save more, you should start clipping coupons. You can also compare the prices of the local grocery store items in order to see which stores consistently offer the best deals.
