Centre (Ala.) Cherokee County athlete Desmond Brown has seen his stock on a steady climb this offseason. His camp tour has resulted in several offseason offers and on Thursday, Brown added one more when Clemson offered. It didn't take long for the 6-foot, 192-pounder to consider the new option. As soon as the offer hit the table, Brown committed to Coach Dabo Swinney.
"I'm a Tiger!" Brown said emphatically. "We came down today. We're leaving right now. I just left Coach Swinney's office about 20 minutes ago."
Brown didn't come in expecting to commit to the Tigers but his meetings with the coaching staff and his time on campus quickly convinced him that it was time. Previously, Brown had visited the Clemson campus but had not had the opportunity to meet with the head coach. His first meeting with Coach Swinney told him everything he needed to know.

"We talked for about 30 or 40 minutes about Clemson," he said. "They love family. They're all about family. They want you to be happy. I love Coach Swinney. He is a world class guy. I love everything about him. I wouldn't want to play for another coach. He's a big part of [my decision]."
While Brown wasn't expecting to make a decision so quickly, neither was the Clemson coaching staff. His decision to commit was a pleasant surprise.
"Coach Swinney after it was all over said 'I'm putting the ball in your court you've got a full scholarship'," said the safety prospect. "Their saying is 'all in' and I said 'coach I'm all in.' He put his hand out and shook it and we hugged each other for a long time. I about cried in there."
Brown expects to play safety for the Clemson program but in high school he plays all over the field. This fall, Brown will be lining up at running back, cornerback and wide receiver along with returning kicks. His size and coverage ability make him an ideal safety prospect but he loves the extra time on the field in high school.
"Oh man, you don't know how happy I am to be able to play all those roles," he said. "A lot of guys on the football team say they hate going both ways but I love it. I feel myself as an athlete playing safety so me getting to contribute to my team as much as possible is all I can ask for."
Last year, Brown helped lead his team to the state championship game and hopes to build on that success this season. With a commitment out of the way, Brown is anxious to zero in on the high schools season.
"It feels great," he said. "All the frustrating conversations with other guys and coaches reading about this and coaches reading about that, it feels great that it's over…They just made my day. They offered me and I took it. I'm not waiting. This is where I want to be."

The Department of Health and Human Services recently released a report evaluating the "adequacy of access to care for enrollees in Medicaid managed care."
With the Medicaid expansion under the Affordable Care Act, many more people are eligible for and enrolled in Medicaid, but it's become increasingly clear that having a Medicaid card does not equate to having access to care.
An article from the NY Times references the HHS report and notes that many new Medicaid enrollees are having a hard time finding care.
Medicaid managed care standards differ by state, but Michigan's requirements include:
- Beneficiaries should not have to travel more than 30 miles to find a PCP
- One PCP must be available in the managed plan's panel for every 750 enrollees
There are no requirements regarding how long a beneficiary may have to wait to see a provider.
Thanks to the support of our friends, Catherine's continues to provide an Open Door to those who experience trouble accessing care. We're committed to working hard so quality medical care is NOT hard to find.

Hollywood stars turn out to honour Clive Davis in New York
Hollywood stars including Jack Nicholson and Owen Wilson turned out alongside the cream of the music world from Sir Paul McCartney to Jon Bon Jovi to honour music mogul Clive Davis in New York over the weekend (10-11Aug13). Davis made a rare trip to the Hamptons on Saturday (10Aug13) to sign copes of his memoir The Soundtrack of My Life at the East Hampton Library's Author's Night, and he was later treated to a glittering party.
The bash was held in his honour at the home of art dealer Larry Gagosian, and the cream of Hollywood turned out. Jack Nicholson was an unexpected guest, along with Owen Wilson, Anjelica Huston and Chevy Chase, while McCartney, Bon Jovi, Pink Floyd's Roger Waters and Jimmy Buffett were also in attendance.
Davis' sons and grandsons were also there to honour the music mogul.

A SERIES of stories on horrible abuses of church congregants by their supposed shepherds in different parts of the globe has brought the name of God and Christianity into disrepute.
The unconverted are having a field day ridiculing Christians. They are even concluding that, in the face of such indisputable evidence, it is better not to go to church at all. Others are levelling the blame squarely on the men of the cloth who, instead of protecting the sheep, have turned into wolves that pounce on the unsuspecting sheep under their care.
While I totally agree that such obnoxious and objectionable behaviours of church leaders have tarnished the image of the church and the name of God and that this inconsistent character of shepherds has and is limiting the role of the church in society, I am also of the opinion that church congregants are equally to blame for such levels of gullibility.
Coming from the premise that self-preservation is the first law of natural life and that being wise as serpents is one of Jesus' classical admonition to the sheep in the middle of wolves, some levels of proneness of congregants to abuse by their leaders need to be examined and justified. Apart from excusing new believers in the Lord, I believe that a spiritually healthy church should be able to discern the slightest departure of the preacher from God's standards of holiness and spiritual leadership.
How is it that church female congregants can be instructed to come to church without wearing panties and swallow that statement hook, line and sinker, without the faintest suspicion that the pastor has entered upon the pathway of unorthodox and erroneous doctrine? Furthermore, can you imagine 20 young girls and mature women all being impregnated by one pastor and all of them lacking the sense to realise that something is wrong somewhere? Some congregants in South Africa were ordered to eat grass and snakes and they did. Other congregants in Zimbabwe ate tree leaves at the instruction of a prophet. Do they all not know that they eat these things to the detriment of their own health? Talk of blind faith!
After investigating and probing into the reasons why congregants give in to such bizarre instructions, I have gathered that the reasons are two-fold.
One is on the side of leaders. And the second one is on the side of congregants. Pastors hypnotise their congregants by quoting and twisting the scriptures. Scriptures like Matthew 10:41 and 2 Chronicles 20:20 are misinterpreted to the advantage of the pastor and to the disadvantage of the sheep.
Matthew 10:41 reads: "The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward." It is most likely that congregants ignore the mentioning of righteousness in this scripture and focus only on rewards. By so doing they are led astray by pastors seeking to take advantage of their lack of understanding of scripture.
Another common scripture that is used to brainwash congregants is 2 Chronicles 20:20 which says: "Believe in the Lord your God and you will be established; believe his prophets and you will prosper." Many congregants seeking prosperity end up not believing in God but only in prophets for prosperity in their lives. But the scripture says believe in God first before you believe the prophet. The protection in believing God first is that you will be able to discern when the prophet goes against what God says. The Bible instructs us to obey God rather than man when men instruct us to say or do things which are contrary to God's viewpoint.
Congregants, on the other hand, have some things in their hearts which make them gullible. For instance, many church members especially females believe so much in prophetic help that they even go to consult self-styled ghost-blustering prophets without their parents' or husbands' approval. The desire to find peace, security and prosperity quickly gets them into the hands of charlatans and false prophets. To put it bluntly in the Shona vernacular: Vanoda kushandirwa, kwete kushanda vega kuburikidza nokunamata vega, kutsanya nokuzviverengera Bhaibheri vega (They want someone to bless them so they can prosper instead of waiting patiently upon God and solve their problems on their own).
Furthermore, most congregants have itching ears. They desire to hear certain things and they even lead prophets into telling them what they themselves already know about their lives.
Biblical prophecy is not to be sought, but it is given at God's time and it is always in consonance with Scripture. There is no spirit of prophecy or Holy Spirit that suggests something that has no trace or antecedent in the scriptures.
Though the police will do their work by bringing culprits to book, and God will severely punish such blasphemers, I urge genuine congregants to rather protect themselves by examining the scriptures and see if they are taught the right things and also to test every spirit as some spirits are not of God.
It is not disobedience for a church member to ask the pastor to point in the scriptures where he or she is given the authority to say or do something questionable and seek understanding of the scriptures before carrying out the pastor's instructions.

Man pooled money with friends to buy cocaine
A Dublin man pooled his money with two friends to buy cocaine for a party.
Keith Foley (42) admitting supplying the drug to two friends, saying they had agreed to buy it together and share it.
Judge Grainne O'Neill ordered Foley to complete 100 hours community service in lieu of three months in prison.
The defendant admitted before Swords District Court to possession of cocaine as well as having the drug for sale or supply.
Garda David Smith said gardai obtained a warrant and searched the defendant's home at St Catherine's Grove in Rush on December 21 last year.
During the search, gardai found cocaine with a street value of €600.
Defence solicitor Fiona D'Arcy said Foley and two of his friends had pooled their money to buy the drug.
Ms D'Arcy said the defendant's girlfriend had tragically died in a car crash a number of years ago.
She said Foley had suffered from depression and anxiety ever since, and as a result he was unable to work.
The solicitor said Foley has had "a lot to cope with" in recent years, but that he did not have a problem with drugs.
She also added that he did not have a previous conviction for drugs.

1. Field of the Invention
This invention relates to a check valve, and more particularly to a spring biased check valve that reacts primarily to fluid flow rather than strictly in response to a pressure gradient across the valve.
2. Description of the Prior Art
Spring biased check valves biased in the open position are well known in the art. Many applications require a valve to close in response to an increased pressure or excessive fluid flow within a fluid device. One such valve is disclosed in FIG. 1 of U.S. Pat. No. 4,874,012. Under low fluid flow conditions a compression spring maintains a valve poppet in a position spaced upstream from an upstream end of the seat body and fluid flow is maintained through a tubular conduit. Upon an increase of fluid flow above a predetermined flow rate, the valve poppet constitutes a restriction and therefore a greater pressure on the upstream side of the valve poppet over the downstream side thereof overcomes the biasing action of the spring and the poppet valve shifts to close the valve. However, this conventional design has limited applications.
In order to create a sufficient pressure gradient, the poppet valve head must be dimensioned within the tubular conduit to create a restriction in the fluid flow. As more fluid is forced through the conduit, the restriction induces the necessary pressure gradient to overcome the bias of the spring and close the valve. Thus the size of the valve head in relation to the tubular conduit in which the fluid flows is limited if not predetermined. If the valve head is too small relative to the conduit and there exists a significant space between the components, sufficient pressure gradient will not be induced and the valve will not close. Conversely, if the valve head is too large, the amount of fluid allowed to flow through the conduit will diminish defeating the ability to permit flow in an opened position. Thus the size of the valve head is strictly dependent on the dimensions of the surrounding space in which the fluid flows. A valve head of any other dimension will yield an unworkable device. Such check valves of the prior art will not work if simply installed in a wall having a significant area. If such a valve were placed on a larger wall surface area, no matter what level the pressure reached within the reservoir body, the valve would not close, as the geometry does not provide the required restriction to induce the pressure gradient across the valve head. Thus these prior art devices do not provide the ability to retrofit a reservoir with a generic valve assembly by simply installing a valve through a wall surface of generic geometry.
The present invention is directed to a pressure switch or valve for a hydraulic circuit that responds primarily to fluid flow about the valve as opposed to relying strictly on a pressure gradient across the valve. A T-shaped valve has a stem portion disposed within an opening in a reservoir, housing, or other fluid passage. The valve is spring biased in an open position. A valve head has an area significantly larger than an area of the opening. As fluid flows around the edge of the valve head, the fluid speed increases and induces a pressure gradient across the valve head to overcome the spring bias and close the valve. The valve may be employed in a wall surface of the reservoir or fluid passage having an area significantly larger than the valve head.
These and other benefits of the present invention will become apparent from the following description and associated drawings.
A T-shaped valve body having a valve stem 7 and a disc shaped valve head 5 is slidably disposed within an annular opening 2 in the wall surface 1 of the reservoir/housing to open and close the opening 2. A spring k mechanism is schematically depicted to bias the valve body and valve head in an opened position to allow fluid to flow through the wall surface 1 of the reservoir. It is to be understood that one of ordinary skill in the art posses the knowledge to implement one of many known mechanisms to secure the spring k to the valve stem 7 or valve head 5 to bias the valve body in an opened position. The particular arrangement of the biasing mechanism is not crucial to the operation of the present invention so long as the valve body is biased in the open position. Such arrangements are well known to ones or ordinary skill in the art. It is also to be understood, that the mechanism to limit displacement of the valve body in the open position to define a specific gap g between the wall surface 1 and valve head 5 is also within the knowledge of one of ordinary skill in the art and need not be shown or described in detail.
P1 represent the pressure of fluid within the reservoir, housing or fluid-conduit bounded by wall surface 1. P0 represents the pressure external to the reservoir, housing on the opposite side of the wall 1. When P1 is greater than P0, fluid will flow around the valve head 5 and through the opening 2 exiting the reservoir. However, the valve arrangement of the present invention does not strictly rely on the pressure differential between P1–P0 or across the valve head 5, but rather responds to fluid flow. The valve head 5 has a diameter D0. The opening has a diameter D. It is noted that D0 is substantially larger than the diameter of the opening D. Moreover, when the valve body is in the open position, the valve head 5 is positioned within a distance g from the wall surface 1 defining the gap there between. As the fluid flows and is forced around the disc shaped valve head 5, a pressure gradient is induced across the valve head 5 generating a force F on the valve body to close the valve. As the amount of fluid flow increases, so does the force F on the valve head 5. When there is sufficient fluid flow, the force F will exceed the biasing force of the spring k and the valve will close. Once the valve is closed, and the fluid flow inhibited, the valve will remain closed while P1 is sufficiently greater than P0 to overcome the force of spring k. However, the valve will initially close from an opening position only if sufficient fluid flows across the valve head.
The following equation represents the force induced on the valve head
The relationship to gap 'g' is implicit in V1 and V2. The fluid velocity is dependent on the gap size.
This is the derivation of the equation for the force generated by the pressure switch, the basis of the equation is the flow in a conduit based on a pressure drop across 2 cross sections of different sizes
That can be developed to:
resulting in:
From the above pressure drop relationship, a resultant force due to flow around the pressure switch can be calculated as a pressure times an area as follows: f=ΔP·(area) develops into:
for a circular shape cross sectional area.
As a numerical example the following sizes are used:
Because the area at the smaller diameter of the pressure switch valve D1·π·gap=4.712 mm2 is smaller than the area defined by the difference in area between the pin and the passage hole
the flow is governed by the first area calculated.
The fluid velocities can be calculated in relationship to the flow Q as follows:
and the velocity at a distance r from the center of the valve as follows:
The force resultant from the pressure differential due to the passage hole is:
and the force resultant from the pressure switch is
showing that the forces generated by the flow are
larger than the pressure differential itself demonstrating the primary effect of the flow in the pressure switch function
The final expression for the forces from the pressure differential and flow is as follows:
As the fluid flow across and underneath the valve head 5 is forced to increase, a pressure gradient across the valve head is induced and thus a force is applied against the valve head 5 to close the valve body against the wall surface 1 to stop the flow of fluid through the opening 2. Thus the valve reacts to fluid flow across the valve head as opposed to pressure differential between P1 and P0.
Because the valve body reacts primarily to fluid flow as opposed to a strict reliance on a pressure gradient caused by a restriction between the valve head and the surrounding walls of a conduit, the valve may be placed in an opened an unconfined space of any fluid housing. For example, the valve assembly of the present invention may be retrofitted in any reservoir, housing or fluid system by simply drilling a hole through a wall of the reservoir or fluid conduit. No restriction about the valve head is necessary to induce the pressure gradient across the valve head 5 to close the valve as in the prior art.
The valve may be tuned to within high tolerances for specific applications by manipulating the force of the biasing spring 6, the size and number of bleed grooves 6, providing particular springs, and the distance of gap g.
While the foregoing invention has been shown and described with reference to a preferred embodiment, it will be understood by those possessing skill in the art that various changes and modifications may be made without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.

Hyderabad, March 16: Sachin Tendulkar sent the ball flying in Rawalpindi and Patancheru caught Lal Krishna Advani.
Cricket was taken off the air in the industrial hamlet near Hyderabad as Advanis Bharat Uday yatra rolled in soon after the Indian innings began in Pakistan.
Worried by reports from neighbouring towns that thin crowds had lined the route of Advanis roadshow, local BJP leaders identified the match as the distraction that kept people away. A quick-fix solution was found: If people wont go to Advani, cricket wont go to them either.
Around 7 pm, before the Advani caravan entered the town, a local leader climbed on to a makeshift dais and appealed over the public address system to cable operators to stop showing the match. The partys ranks passed on similar requests to cable operators who were out of earshot.
The ruse did not push the attendance up dramatically but people living near the venue did come out. We wish the deputy Prime Minister had come one day later to Andhra, said one of the youths who was yanked off the match. The game was back on air after half-an-hour when Advanis bus left the town.

The Texas Longhorns and Iowa State Cyclones meet Saturday night at the Hilton Coliseum.
The Texas Longhorns look to stay hot after winning six of their last eight games.

The Longhorns are allowing 33.2 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 35.9 rebounds per game. The Texas Longhorns have lost 10 of their last 15 road games.
USA TODAY Sports
The Iowa State Cyclones could use a win after losing three of their last four games. The Iowa State Cyclones are averaging 82.2 points on 50 percent shooting and allowing 73.7 points on 43.4 percent shooting. Georges Niang is averaging 19 points and 6.4 rebounds while Monte Morris is averaging 14.8 points and 7.2 assists. Abdel Nader is grabbing 5.2 rebounds and Matt Thomas is dishing 1.5 assists. The Iowa State Cyclones are shooting 37.4 percent from beyond the arc and 68.8 percent from the free throw line. The Cyclones are allowing 34.6 percent shooting from deep and are grabbing 36.8 rebounds per game. The Iowa State Cyclones won 17 of their last 20 home games.
The Longhorns are 4-0 ATS in their last 4 road games and 7-0 ATS in their last 7 games overall. The Cyclones are 11-4 ATS in their last 15 Saturday games and 2-5-1 ATS in their last 8 home games. The home team is 5-2-1 ATS in the last 8 meetings.
Iowa State is coming off a brutal loss and will be eager to bounce back. Texas is playing great ball as of late and is starting to get the feel of Smart's system. However, Iowa State in the Coliseum? The Cyclones are just a different animal. I'll eat the reasonable number.

By Keith Murray Sharks. The most feared predator in the deep blue sea, and this shouldn't be a surprise as to why. They have been around for millions of years, always adapting and evolving. So why should social media strategists care?
This won't be your typical Shark Week reminder to use the hashtag or to create custom content about it starting on August 10th. Instead, this is intended to help shape your social media strategy.
Shark Fact #1: Sharks have an astounding sense of smell, so powerful that they can detect a single drop of blood in an Olympic-sized pool.
Social Media Lesson #1: I'm not saying you're blood thirsty like these fellow deep sea predators, but social listening can be beneficial. Testing the waters by seeing what people are saying and engaging with these conversations will help your brand understand what your customers want and can potentially turn non-fans into brand loyalists.
Shark Fact #2: Most shark attacks on humans occur within a few hundred yards of shore, because that is where people are most likely to be.
Social Media Lesson #2: Is your customer base over the age of 35? If so, Instagram is probably not the right move for you since over 90% of the 150 million people using this network are under the age of 35. BUT find the network where your fans/customers are and start there. Obviously, you'll begin to target younger demographics and this is when you can and should think about searching other places to be on.
Shark Fact #3: Whitetip Reef Sharks hunt at night and often in groups.
Social Media Lesson #3: Social media never stops so it shouldn't end for your team when the office closes for the night. Live tweeting events at night are crucial for your brand to become involved with, but make sure it is relevant for your brand. Creating great real-time content can help your brand get noticed, earn new followers, and potentially new customers.
Shark Fact #4: Certain shark species (such as great whites) will drown if they stop moving. They lack necessary muscles to pump water through their mouth.
Social Media Lesson #4: Don't stop moving. If you're only on Facebook, make sure you're dedicated to researching new trends and new networks. Social media is always moving forward and you don't want your brand's social media presence to go belly up.
Which social media tactics is your brand using? Share in the comments below!

Help running Daggerfall patch fixsa175 in Dosbox 0.74
Hi all, Hope it's ok to ask for some Win7 x64 dosbox help on this forum.
I have downloaded Daggerfall from an abandonware site and it runs perfectly by dragging a "Dagger.bat" file in to the dosbox icon.
However, I've reached a game-breaking bug which I think can be resolved by running a patch called "fixsa175.exe".
Mounting the correct drive is about my limit in terms of pc knowledge so if possible, simple, step-by-step instructions would be appreciated.
Finally, I need to add that when I mount and then run the patch file in dosbox, I get a message stating that I need put a cd in the disk-drive.
Thanks - any help would be gratefully appreciated.

It is sometimes highly underestimated how important it is to manage the intellectual property rights in your business. Intellectual property rights consist of for instance trademarks, designs, copyrights and patents. Owners of these intellectual property rights need to be aware of the position they have: if they are the creator they are in general the holder of exclusive rights. What can be done with these rights ? When and how can someone "respond" to the use of his rights ? BBV Legal can assist you with dealing with these types of matters.

The leaders of tomorrow
Bruce Mallord began his business career at the young age of 15 working for the British Government Property Lawyers developing a bespoke budget management application. This lead to a number of other projects, the most notable being running a company that developed a legal case management system which was sold nationally before his 20th birthday.
He has worked all over the world including Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong and Germany. This has provided him with a range of expertise in management, operations, ICT and training with clients ranging from sole traders to large corporations.
On returning to the UK Bruce took on the role of managing director for a UK ICT services company which he later bought, expanded and sold. Since then he has followed his passion for leadership and education and now lectures in Business Studies and Computing at an international school in Cluj.
Regarding leadership, he says "Leadership is walking ahead and others WANTING to follow you, not pushing people forward from behind".

Aviya's Summer Trailer (1988)
14 July 1988 Drama, Family 95 mins
A young girl and her mother both carry the scars of their experiences during the holocaust in this drama from Israel. In 1951, Aviya is a ten-year-old girl being raised by her single mother, Henya, in a small village in Israel. Henya is a survivor of a Nazi concentration camp, and has come out of the experience considerably worse for wear; she's haunted by the memories of her past, and has become emotionally unstable. Circumstances for her and her daughter are hardly improved by the poverty of the newly wounded state of Israel, and their own difficult economic circumstances. Aviya, meanwhile, is obsessed with finding her missing father, and wonders if he might be the man who has just moved into their village. Henya, however, knows better, and knows why Aviya's father is never coming back to them.
