Love it! The field is in high demand all over the world. It's also the highest paid area of psychology, with salaries averaging ~$20 000 per year higher than the next highest paid area of Psychology.Broadly, I/O Psychology is the science of applying psychological principles to the workplace. How I/O differs from other areas of Psychology is that we solve personnel problems rather than personal problem. Our mandate is to make healthy people happier and more productive.People on the "I" side of I/O Psychology focus on benefitting employers (e.g., design employee selection systems, training systems, compensation system). People on the "O" side focus on benefiting employees (e.g., designing jobs to be more rewarding, studying teamwork, leadership development, employee satisfaction, employee engagement, facilitating mergers and acquisitions).Some I/O Psychologists become professors at universities. Most are practitioners working as either (1) independent consultants for businesses, (2) government employees, or (3) in-house consultants for a particular business (e.g., Google). Most consulting work focuses around employee selection and/or leadership development.My own career path was very direct: after completing my Masters in I/O Psychology, I was hired by a test publishing firm while completing my Ph.D. I worked at the test publisher for 5 years. Although I could happily have stayed much longer, Sokanu made an offer I couldn't refuse. So here I am!
Loved the flexibility in getting to control what projects I accepted, when I worked, and where I worked. The job also offered a good balance of left-brained programming with right-brained creativity/design.A few considerations for anyone considering the field:- It can be lonely working solo on projects all the time- Requires high self-discipline- Must be good at self-taught learning. Technology evolves so quickly that you must either be able and willing teach yourself the new technologies or else your skills will quickly become dated.
Mentors are friendly, outgoing and natural influencers. They thrive in environments where they can interact with people. Mentors are all about being part of a team, and quite often they are the leaders. They are excellent support systems for people, and their self-confident nature allows them to be persuasive when they think it's the appropriate time to do so.

The Akali Dal led a series of peaceful mass demonstrations to present its grievances to the central government. The demands of the Akali Dal were based on the Anandpur Sahib Resolution to raise specific political, economic and social issues.
The Resolution outlines seven objectives:-
1. The transfer of the federally administered city of Chandigarh to Punjab.
2. The transfer of Punjabi speaking and contiguous areas of Punjab.
3. Decentralisation of states under the existing constitution, limiting the central government's role.
4. The call for land reforms and industrialization of Punjab, along with safeguarding the rights of the weaker sections of the population.
5. The Enactment of an all-India gurdwara (Sikh house of worship) act.
6. Protection for minorities residing outside Punjab, but within India.
7.Revision of government's recruitment quota restricting the number of Sikhs in armed forces.

Thanks, masudr!
And FunkyDwarf, don't worry about nakurusil; speaking for myself, I know I can get a bit cranky at times.
To some extent this might be a function of not knowing whether one is addressing a graduate student (whom one would expect to follow up citations by reading the books mentioned), or a younger person who might not yet appreciate the "scholarly ethos" (according to which it could be considered a bit rude to demand that I summarize a book for you). But don't worry, I am not holding you to that because I am assuming you didn't know this.

text: WAUPACA, WI (WTAQ) - A judge in Waupaca County says he will not step down from the case of a man accused of killing a half-dozen deer on a stolen snowmobile. Rori Kuenzi's attorney said Circuit Judge Philip Kirk showed bias with the comments he made in January, when he sentenced Kuenzi for killing a pedestrian while driving drunk after leaving a drinking party. That incident occurred in 2004 – and the state filed charges after Kuenzi made national headlines for the deer-slaughtering case five years later. Judge Kirk said he was "unequivocally honest" when he sentenced Kuenzi to 23 years in the drunk driving death – and Kirk says honesty does not constitute bias in the defendant's other case. Kuenzi and two other Waupaca County men are charged with animal mistreatment and hunting violations in the deer killings.

Growing Up With Two Religions
Tablet has a very interesting article with three short videos of teens who grew up with two religions and were involved with The Interfaith Community. In just three videos a wide range of issues are raised: the impact of having grandparents who are Holocaust survivors; how in some families the subject of religion is "tense" and "controversial," while in others parents are on the same page and supportive of their young adult children's choices; the persistence of young adults encountering Jews who tell them they are or are not Jewish based solely on whether their mother is Jewish. Many in the Jewish community are not comfortable with organizations like The Interfaith Community that teach children about both religions; but one of the young adults explains that her family does not mix or homogenize the religions and that she thinks she has a better religious education than friends raised in one religion, while another, who chose to have a

Thread: Opinions on system builders (UK)
Opinions on system builders (UK)
Hello all.
First off, I'd like to clarify that I'm not entirely put off the idea of building a machine myself, however my confidence in my own abilities isn't all that high.*
In the event that I decide to buy a pre-built machine, I've narrowed it down to one of four companies**, and I'm looking for people's opinions, both pro and con about each, based on experience of dealing with them and from eyeballing their websites.
-Of the four, Scan are the only ones I've had any actual dealings with, just ordering the odd small item here and there. So far they've not sent me anything faulty and the delivery times have been prompt as hell.
- They don't stock BitFenix cases, and I quite like the look of them in comparison with other cases.
- Some components seem unnecessarily overpriced. Not that there's any way I'd actually consider getting power supply cables in a colour other than standard black, but if I was there's no way in hell I'd pay 75 extra quid for it.
- Prices seem decent.
- Their website design makes my eyes hurt.
PC Specialist
I don't think I've actually heard of them until now and therefore have no knowledge of their quality.
- Big range of BitFenix cases, which I like.
- Seem decently priced.
Anybody have a machine built by any of these companies, or had positive/negative expereineces with any of them for any reason?
*For instance, I'm aware through various reviews/videos that people have great difficulty getting a GTX 780 Ti to fit in a BitFenix Mini ITX case, the card being longer than the case itself, and the thought of customising the case to get the card mounted vertically fills me with a nameless dread.
**Not even considering Alienware. Nothing against Dell as a company, my Windows Tablet is a Dell and it's fantastic quality, but the number of available choices for components on their system builder is far too limited for my liking."Men shall never be free until the last king is strangled with the entrails of the last priest." - Diderot
Honest question. Can you do lego models? If you can do 8-10+ lego you can build a PC. I know nothing about the builders other than they are expensive, sorry.I'm failing to writing a blog, specifically about playing games the wrong way
Most everyone seems to use these guys for picking parts and checking on compatibility by looking at completed builds. I think it's in the DNA of gaming to build your own system but if you absolutely don't want to then either Scan, Overclockers or Cyberpower should be fine, insofar as I've not heard anything particularly negative about them.
My niece bought a pre-built Cyberpower system, via Amazon, last year and I looked it over for her. Seemed fine and not much more expensive than you'd pay for the parts (system builders get a discount on Windows making a DIY build start from around 40-50 quid in the hole before you really save money), though they didn't use the same PSU and RAM, for instance, that I might have. You'll pay a premium, obviously, on a custom build.
If you're using Cyberpower to pick the parts and they're happy enough to accept the build job, then you should be fairly happy that you could just buy the parts yourself and slot them together inside twenty minutes, tops, and then install a fresh, clean, un-tainted with adware crap, OS onto it.
There is a question about support if something goes wrong. If a miscellaneous part in your DIY build is crapping out, you could lose hours of your life trouble-shooting it. OTOH, that's my idea of fun.

While I've never had a pre-built from Overclockers I usually order my computer parts there and frequent their forums. They have a reputation for good customer service and I would personally feel confident buying a complete system from them.
Have you considered Chillblast? I got my last two rigs from them and found them cheaper than OCUK, plus they have a decent warranty within the price. Last I looked they had bitfenix cases too, but they'd likely get you anything you wanted anyway (within reason) if you ask them, as I did.
PCspecialist I used about 6 or so years back and they were good too, they would have probably been my 2nd pick. I've heard variable things about cyberpower builds but it's all hearsay so that's probably not much use, but I can't stand their website regardless. As I said, I found overclockers to be overpriced, in what I was looking at getting at least. Scan I don't know much about as system builders, though I've heard pretty decent things about them in general.
I spent a great deal of time looking around those exact sites for the PC I wanted, most seemed to go for lower-level PSUs or slower RAM than I was aiming for, or had weird cases with alien genitalia/bright ugly panels/ LEDs all over them.
I spent around £1000 on my PC and believe the rig I wanted was about 20% more expensive pre-built, so if you have a friend who is comfortable putting the thing together for you, it's well worth the tip/pizza/beer to get them to help you out.
Just a small warning, but I bought an overclocked mobo/ram/proc/heatsink bundle from OCUK.
The main reason I did this was to avoid the fiddle of paste and installing a heatsink, but it turns out it didn't come assembled. The units all come benchtested to check the overclocked processor is OK, I thought that meant it would be put together, but that's not the case.
That said, their customer service was faultless, the items all came well packaged and were delivered promptly. It's absolutely my fault for not checking whether the bundle came in one piece and I got a good deal on a decent processor and board, so all was well really.
Seconded on the recommendation for OCUK's CPU/Motherboard/RAM bundles if you do decide to do your own build.
On suppliers, OCUK have the best selection of most components but generally aren't the cheapest, though their weekly and daily deals are worth keeping an eye on. Buying a whole system worth of components from them could easily add 10% to the total cost compared with shopping around, which isn't insignificant. Also they don't have free delivery, which most other places do if you spend above the minimum. I look at OCUK to see what's available and then shop around to ebuyer, Scan, Novatech and Amazon. Sometimes OCUK wins on product range though.
I would definitely recommend self-building - it is easier than ever. If you can get a friend to help then it may give you more confidence.
I've used Ebuyer for the past 12 years - prices seem to be better than anywhere else, but the stock changes a lot so you may not for instance find the case you want (but they have plenty).

Are most mental health problems caused by Toxoplasmosis or other pathogens ?
As put forward in the Atlantic article, the rise of depression in Europe was corolatable with the increase of toxoplasmosis.
With the discovery that the plaques in the brain may actually be PROTECTIVE for the neurons, it is quite possible that they are there to damp down the spurious electrical signals being produced from the pathogens that are attached there.
A new paper shows that mannitol opens the blood/brain barrier for a half hour. Long enough for a cyst to get thru.
Is much more likely that nearly ALL neuro-degenerative diseases are caused by pathogens.
They also just published the paper showing that HALF of all back pain is caused by bacterial infection.
We need to stop funding studies that do not control for food additives and pathogenic influences.
I'm not kidding about the food additives either, they just found that polysorbate can create an airtight and electron gun proof shell around bugs, leaving them able to still reproduce.
This could allow the bugs to continue exuding the chemicals that releases the inflammation chems, putting your body in a permanent state of chem stress.
This Tween 20 is used in almost every bio, neuro, and pharmacuetical lab as cleansers, washes, and pre-observation stage of testing in the entire field.
If you are having troubles, the first thing to do is get a pcr test for t. gondi, or toxoplasmosis.
start here.
and i would read this, if you are having emotional swings and arthritis symptoms, this is easy and cheap to try. Read the hazards in the article.

May 20 2013: Adesh, did you even read the lead article from the Atlantic ? Maybe you wouldn't have used a big cat as a metaphor.
The fact is , doctors have consistently claimed toxo has no effects, and have declined to pursue it.
Without testing, especially kids with apparent behavioral problems, i don't think you can rule it out.
By claiming that mental illness is a symptom of maladjustment or behavioral problems affecting social interactions, is just putting off actually studying the problem with an attempt at a solution.
Lets test for it in ALL neuro and psych studies, and include it in the controls. Brazil is testing extensively now.
I would like to see all kids about to be labled as ADHD, or bipolar, be tested before going on other meds.
I would really like to see the prison population tested, as a control population.

text: He pressed up against me in dark alleys. I gave him blow jobs as he drove on one of our weekend treks. We made out in taxicabs. There was a kind of volatile tension wired through our relationship that set my body on fire feeling his arm resting against mine in the dark cavern of a movie theater.But now? "A little faucet had turned off inside my body. My veins were cold. I didn't want to be touched." And here—with that little faucet—is the heart of the matter. The Jill Bialoskys of the world may feel that they belong to the most outrageously liberated group of women yet to stride the earth. These women assume that in the very act of confession they are wearing the mantle of freedom. They are not only free enough to perform oral sex in a moving car—a bit of cutting-edge eroticism that, I believe, dates back to the Model T—but also free enough to admit, in tones of outrage and bewilderment, to the abrupt waning of their desire. What they don't understand, and what women of an earlier era might have been able to tell them, is that when the little faucet turns off, it is time not to rat out your husband (is there anything more wounding to a man, and therefore more cruel and vicious, than a wife's public admission that he is not satisfying her in bed?) but rather to turn it back on. It is not complicated; it requires putting the children to bed at a decent hour and adopting a good attitude. The rare and enviable woman is not the one liberated enough to tell hurtful secrets about her marriage to her girlfriends or the reading public. Nor is she the one capable of attracting the sexual attentions of a variety of worthy suitors. The rare woman—the good wife, and the happy one—is the woman who maintains her husband's sexual interest and who returns it in full measure.

Encouraging MissionsBy: Guy Templeton
For years, young women have encouraged young men to serve missions. With the recent reduction in mission ages, many more women are now serving missions. I was talking to my next door neighbor last week. Her son is a senior in high school, and will turn 18 shortly. He is planning to put in his papers soon, and has a very attractive girlfriend. Afraid that she won't wait 2 years, he is encouraging her to go on a mission as well. She doesn't want to serve a mission. It got me wondering how many young men are now encouraging young women to serve missions. I suspect this is an unintended consequence of President Monson's recent announcement. What percent of women do you think are serving because of pressure from their boyfriends? What do you make of this development?

John Tavares and the New York Islanders treated the home crowd to a 7-3 shellacking of the Dallas Stars last night at Nassau Veterans Memorial Coliseum in Uniondale, New York.
Tavares had a hat trick and rookie Ryan Strome finally notched his first goal of the season. It was Strome's 11th game played. The 2011 first-round draft pick had managed to tally three assists but was scoreless after getting called up last month. Strome was sensational during his brief stint in the minors. It was a power-play goal and the assists came courtesy of superstars Thomas Vanek and Tavares in the second period. Strome got a chance on the first team power play unit because Kyle Okposo was out for the birth of a child.
12 different players got on the score sheet. Casey Cizikas, Calvin de Haan, Andrew MacDonald, and Vanek each had two assists on the night.
Jamie Benn, Erik Cole, and Valeri Nichushkin scored for the Stars.
Islanders goalie Kevin Poulin finished the game after Evgeni Nabokov left the game with an injury.
The Islanders visit Toronto tonight for a 7 p.m. matchup.

LAUREL, Del. – It has been just over one week since the tragic fire at Saint Paul's By The Sea Episcopal Church.
It took the life of John Raymond Sterner, 56, of Ocean City, who police say started the fire, and the beloved pastor of the church, Reverend David Dingwall.
Now, WMDT is learning more about the third victim of the fire, Dana Truitt, 56, of Ocean City, who was reportedly volunteering in Shepherd's Crook when the church caught on fire.
According to family members, Dana moved to Ocean City, Maryland from Laurel, Delaware about three years ago, and shortly after she began volunteering. She also worked at Buckingham Hotel in Ocean City, but now, she is currently in Johns Hopkins Bayview Burn Center in stable but critical condition.
"We're on the verge of losing somebody, she's there fighting for her life," says Stacy Smith, Dana Truitt's daughter.
Smith says Dana has burns covering 21 percent of her body, and she had to have her head shaved. She is currently on life support, and just opened her eyes for the first time recently.
"She can nod her head yes or no, she can move her hands a little bit, and her feet a little," says Smith. "She doesn't really know what's going on."
Family members say Dana's face is completely swollen, and so far, she has had two surgeries.
"She's got three more coming, we don't know, it could be more," says Bernice Carey, Dana's sister. "They're saying she'll have to stay there two months."
Carey says when she went to visit Dana with other family members, she was stunned.
"We went in the room and said that's not my sister."
Family members say Dana's current condition is the result of doing something that has been a huge part of her life: volunteering.
"She really loved it there, she'd give her right arm, just to help out," says Carey.
"She liked helping other people, that's what she does," says Smith. "When she wasn't working she went there, as soon as she walked in there she smiled. She loved the people."
One person she reportedly dealt with on a regular basis was Sterner. Smith says that when she went to help her mom at the church, he was often there.
"He was there pretty much all the time, when the church was open he was there," says Smith. "I've seen him around, I didn't socialize with him, but I never thought he would, or never though anybody could do this kind of thing."
The family says they call the hospital multiple times every day, and try to make the trip to Johns Hopkins as much as they can, but with the distance and upcoming holiday, it is not easy.
"It's rough," says Carey. "Thanksgiving was terrible, we could not even eat because we were crying. Now Christmas is coming, and we won't have her there either."
Now, the family is asking for prayers, and any information behind Sterner's motive.
"Did he write a suicide note? We want answers, that's all we ask," says Smith.
The family is looking to collect money to help buy Dana a wig and pay her hospital bills. For more information on how you can help, call Bernice Carey at 302-280-6817, or the family says you can send donations to 28577 Seaford Road, Laurel, DE 19956.

There's an interesting debate emerging in the public health world. It has to do with whether we need to rejigger our thinking about the risks pesticides and other chemicals pose to children's health.
Traditionally, we've had a "disease-oriented" approach, assessing risk based on the severity of a health outcome (think birth defects or cancer). But earlier this month a provocative Environmental Health Perspectives article argued that a "population approach" might be wiser — meaning that even when a health effect is not severe, if it's affecting a huge number of our children (think dropping IQs), we should be paying attention.
The "obesity epidemic" is constantly in the news. This year's CDC figures show that 1 in 88 children in the U.S. is on the autism spectrum. Childhood cancers and neurodevelopmental delays are on the rise.
Scientific studies show that many of these health conditions can be linked to exposures to environmental contaminants such as pesticides, and new research is finding that exposures occurring as far back as three generations can cause adverse health conditions today.
Part of my job here at PAN is keeping track of the latest research about how pesticides are harming children's health. This has kept me too busy of late, as studies seem to be coming fast and furious linking pesticides with childhood asthma, autism, birth defects, cancer and more.
One recent study gave me serious pause. We already understand that some chemicals can change how our genes function; now researchers know that this damage can be passed from one generation to the next. I'm no scientist, but I understand enough to know that compromising the DNA of future generations is not a good idea.
When a pregnant woman is exposed to low levels of a commonly used pesticide, the architecture of her developing infant's brain may be irreversibly damaged. This according to researchers who for the first time used MRI testing to see structural evidence of harm from exposure to the insecticide chlorpyrifos during fetal development.
Researchers report that the changes in brain structure they observed were consistent with the learning and developmental effects (including reduced IQs) that have been linked to chlorpyrifos. The effects were observed at exposure levels well below those considered harmful by EPA.
If we set our minds to it, we can turn back the rising tide of autism. But it will take the courage to embrace the following common-sense goal, in both policy and practice: Expecting parents and young children should not take in chemical contaminants that are known to harm developing minds.
This week, scientists released a list of exactly which contaminants we're talking about. The top 10 chemicals contributing to autism and learning disabilities include commonly used pesticides, as well as chemicals found in many consumer products. The scientists tell us the list is likely to grow. But for now, it's time to act on what we know.

It's been years since I've had a hot fudge sundae. Two? Three years? It likely came in a waxed cardboard cup from Baskin-Robbins. Inexplicably, the other night I was craving one.
"Where are you going to get a hot fudge sundae?" my husband asked. There's not an ice cream shop anywhere nearby. "The stuff at the store all has high fructose corn syrup." (Here, let me interject how pleased I am that my husband is taking this into consideration these days. He's come a long way, baby.)
A quick internet search pulled up a number of options, but this recipe seemed like a good place to start. I changed it up a little bit (cinnamon? Why yes, thank you!) and it turned out wonderfully. It made enough for us to indulge ourselves plus there was a full jar left over to give away.
Hot Fudge Sauce
Less than half an hour from start to sundae
- 1 cup butter
- 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 3 cups organic sugar
- 1-1/3 cups cream
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
Combine butter, cocoa, sugar, and cream in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil and boil for 7 minutes, stirring frequently. Remove from heat; stir in vanilla and cinnamon. Cool slightly, then spoon over ice cream. Store any remaining sauce in the refrigerator.
Optional: for a smoother consistency, blend with an immersible blender after adding the vanilla and cinnamon.

Businesses need to know the kind of workers accessing their premises and assets and this is why it is essential that vendor and extended workforce screening is done. An online background check enhances stability, security and good performance in workplace. Although your current employee screening may ensure that you hire good employees, you may not know the quality of other workers who have access to your premises.
According to U. S. Chamber of Commerce, about 30 percent of small-scale business enterprises fail in achieving their goals because they are affected by employee theft. Business owners and managers are concerned about the increasing insecurity among the workforce. There are security issues touching on employees, personal safety and business assets. With these security issues, companies could find themselves on the losing end if they do not carry proper background screening.
The perceived difference may be indistinguishable to the public as when people see the workers accessing your premises they think that they are the employees of the company and not vendors or contractor. Any crimes or violations of the law that are committed may affect the reputation of your business although they are not actually employee of your company. You can expand your existing background screening to cover vendors, staffing firms, independent contractors, consultants and other third parties.
Your IT systems may be accessed and maintained by an outsourced IT company. If the workers are not credible, they could lead to breach of contract that could cost your company dearly. With a vendor-screening program, you could reduce workplace risks, standardize your screening program and ensure compliance.
Although many businesses rely on pre-employment screening, this may not be sufficient because workers can still develop habits that could subject the businesses into poor performance or legal pursuits. When workers are employed, they may have no criminal records but with time, they begin developing bad behaviors. A worker who shows repetitive arrests from traffic violations can be an indication that he or she could cause accidents when in line of duty.
Hiring the wrong cadre of employees subjects a business to continuous poor performance even after investing in training and worker development. According to Wall Street Journal, on average, almost half of all the newly hired workers do not perform to expectations. This Journal has also reported that about 34 percent of all applicants on a job give outright lies about their education, experience, and ability to deliver essential job functions.
Companies spend a lot of money in compensations for personal injuries caused by employees. Moreover, companies also need to screen workers before hiring them. One challenging task human resource managers and employers face is determining the credibility of workers. Employees are likely to provide faulty information on their CVs including academic, past experience as well as their ability to handle certain jobs.
By carrying out online background check, companies can find out essential information including criminal records about employees. This information can go a long way in preventing violent incidents within employees or poor performance due to hiring incapable workers. The screening helps eliminate incidents of crimes and other questionable behaviors that could taint the image and reputation of a company.

Kasey Kahne wins first career race at BristolBy JENNA FRYER
The Associated Press | March 18,2013AP Photo
Kasey Kahne, facing, is congratulated by Dale Earnhardt Jr., after winning the NASCAR Sprint Cup Series race Sunday in Bristol, Tenn.BRISTOL, Tenn. Kasey Kahne won his first career Sprint Cup Series race at Bristol Motor Speedway after Brad Keselowski struggled on the final restart.
Tempers flared after the race when Joey Logano leaned inside the car window of former teammate Denny Hamlin to complain about Hamlin spinning him during the race.
At the time, Logano was racing Jeff Gordon for the lead.
Logano was pulled away from Hamlins car by crew members for both drivers in a classic post-Bristol clash that delighted the crowd. Theyre fighting! Its Bristol! yelled Clint Bowyer, who saw the action on the infield big screen.
Logano wouldnt discuss what he told Hamlin.
That is for me to know and Denny to know. Frustrating, he said. I had a really fast ... Ford and I felt like it was capable to win the race.
Hamlin shrugged it all off.
He said he was coming for me, Hamlin said. I usually dont see him, so its usually not a factor.
The two sparred briefly on Twitter after the season-opening Daytona 500, when Hamlin complained Logano ruined the closing laps of the race. But he said Sundays flap was not a carryover.
It didnt have anything to do with that, Hamlin said. Youve really got to control your car and he slipped up into me. Really, he would have been in the garage with no radiator in it if I had not checked up twice. I meant to run in to him. I didnt mean to spin him out, but his day was fine. We finished bad and he finished bad. Its even.
Their feuding may have played a role in the outcome of the race.
Keselowski was the leader on the final restart with 39 laps to go and lined up next to Kane. Hamlin was lined up behind Keselowski, with Logano lined up behind Hamlin. When the flag waved, Keselowski didnt go and Kahne rocketed to the lead and never looked back.
Although it appeared Keselowski spun his tires, he was adamant after the race about what happened I got ran over! and that prevented him from breaking away on the restart.
Hamlin backed up Keselowskis account.
The 22 (Logano) ran into me and shoved me into (Keselowski), Hamlin said. Sorry to the 2, but I was the pinball in the sandwich. Once he throttled up, the 22 lifted me up and just flat out pinned me up against the 2.
Logano seemed to think Keselowski spun his tires and that created the bottleneck, but Keselowski believed he had help from behind.
I havent seen the replay, I just know my rear tires were off the ground before I got to the restart zone, he said. Eventually I got hit so hard it pushed my foot in the gas pedal, made myself look like a (fool). That was the deal. Never had another chance.
Nobody came close to Kahne, who drove his Hendrick Motorsports Chevrolet to the win by 1.7-seconds. Hendrick drivers have now won two of the first four races this season.
Kyle Busch snagged second from Keselowski, who took over the Sprint Cup Series points lead as the only driver to open the season with four top-five finishes. Kurt Busch finished fourth and was followed by Bowyer and Dale Earnhardt Jr.
Ryan Newman was seventh, Brian Vickers was eighth and Paul Menard and Jamie McMurray rounded out the top 10.
The race changed dramatically with 110 laps to go in a bizarre crash between leaders Gordon and Matt Kenseth. Gordon was out front when he suddenly lost a tire and his car darted up the track into the wall. Kenseth had nowhere to go to avoid him and drove directly into the back of Gordon, causing heavy damage to both cars.
You all right? crew chief Alan Gustafson radioed Gordon.
Yeah, Im OK. Did we take out Matt, too? Gordon asked.
With the top two cars in the garage, the rest of the field headed to pit road to reset for the final 100 laps.
I hate that for Matt Kenseth, Gordon said. He was coming, and it was just a matter of time before he caught us. We needed points. This definitely isnt going to get us many.
Kenseth, winner of last weeks race at Las Vegas, said the crash was unavoidable.
Theres not a lot either one of us can do about that, he said. There was nowhere to go.
Before the Gordon-Kenseth crash, Gordon and Logano were dueling for the lead. Gordon used a two-tire stop with about 175 laps to go to gain eight spots on pit road and take the lead. Logano chased Gordon around the 0.533-mile bullring, pulling even with the four-time champion as he exited the corners only to lose ground on the straights.
Lurking behind in third was Hamlin, who apparently got tired of waiting for Logano to get past Gordon and showed how restless he was with slight contact on Loganos bumper as they exited Turn 2.
The tap caused Logano to back his car into the wall and took him out of contention, leading to the post-race drama Bristol is known to create.MORE IN Wire SportsANN ARBOR, Mich.

Quote: "Roll greed on Frozen Orbs (or pass if you don't want them)"
I gotta disagree with this. If you greed, you're simply going to lose your roll to other players. Your best bet is to hit need and tell other players you are doing so. This will prevent losing to others who see 'need' as the norm while not offending people that are used to greeding.
The Frozen Orbs are no longer valuable enough (around 5g on my server - restocking poisons can cost more) to risk getting known as a cross-faction need-ninja.
The concept of "steal it from them before they steal it from me" is animalistic, displayed even among birds. It's also cyclical. You need and take it from a group that hits greed, and you've created another person who subscribes to the immature philosophy of "steal first, answer questions later."
mtsadowski said...
Look, I don't mean to take the unpopular stand here, but Needing on the Frozen orbs is NOT stealing. The option is there to need it.
And here's a novel idea, but what if someone actually needs it! I needed on a few to get mattes to make something to bump up my tailoring skills. And then I was yelled at that I ninja'ed the orb.
If this is stealing, then I can say that everyone is stealing my disenchanting skill because I did not agree to do the disenchanting.
Deadly. Off. Topic. said...
If an enchanter is going to have issues with D/E greed option, then simply 1. don't bother to level your enchanting 2. don't run instances with that character that can D/E.
Honestly, I leveled two enchanters and I don't see a problem with the new system aside from selfish and greedy players no longer able to benefit from their party members.
I had an enchanter friend who would always keep quiet about everything she D/E in the hopes that people would forget and she could quietly walk off with the items. It's one thing when the group says, "here, please take it" as oppose to, "Damn, I forgot and that jerk just walked off with everything."
Having run with dozens of different random groups by now, it seems that on some servers (Arthas, for example), the recognized custom is to need on orbs. It doesn't seem to be ninja behaviour - just what they're used to on their home servers.
So I think Dah is right about this. To ensure that everyone has a fair shot at winning the orbs, we're going to have to start need-rolling on them across the board.
Vandersveldt said...
STOP putting Frozen Orbs up for 8g or less. You look dumb.
Frozen orbs cost 3g to post for 48 hours. Then the AH takes 10% of your sale.
Frozen orbs VEND for 5g. You make more profit vending then posting for less than 8g.
Sry to come across as harsh, but this is actually quite valuable info, if you have to post 8g or less, just vend. It's more money, and it's instant!
You didn't read my post if you think this is "steal it from you before you steal it from me"
As I stated, you tell the group before you do it. Everyone knows to roll need and this way you don't have someone take it unfairly.
If someone actually "needs" it, which I have yet to ever see happen, they are still perfectly capable of letting the group know beforehand, in which case you would pass.
I love how i'm finding frozen orbs on the AH for 5g lately.
Let's do the math here. Vendor buys for 5g. Auction (for 48 hour) is a 3g deposit (that you won't get back). In order to just break even to what you sell the vendor to you'd have to sell for at least 8g.
I.e. if you see anything around 8g or less on the AH, just vendor it.
You get your deposit back if the item sells.
Third paragraph.
Actually, as long as the someone buys the orb, the seller will get that 3g deposit back. So if you put up the orb for 8g and someone buys it, you end up with 8g minus the 80s (10%) cut taken by the Auction House. So you would still make more than the 5g vendor value.
For a Frozen orb, at that price I would probably just vendor it or keep it in the bank for an alt. But people should know the mechanics of the AH. You only lose your deposit if no one buys the goods.
If you belong to one of the few servers that thinks it's OK to roll Need on BoE items that you intend to sell, then it's time for your server to change. BoE items are always Greed unless you are going to immediately Equip and Use it. This is the way it has been done for 5 years.
The Battered Hilt: This is Need if you are going to Equip it. It is Greed if you are going to sell it. And if you roll Need while actually holding Quel'Serrar in your hand, prepare to be on the ignore list of everyone in your Battlegroup, after your name appears in the "Drama" section of "Guildwatch".
catharsis80 said...
Wow, really? EVERYONE on my server rolls need for frozen orbs, and as far as I know, always has. Maybe we're just a weird exception? No one considers it ninja'ing. In fact, if someone doesn't roll need on them, we would wonder if they misclicked.
If you actually REALLY needed the frozen orb, because it was the last mat you needed to make your epic, then if everyone else used need instead of greed as a regular thing, then you wouldn't have the chance to need it anyways. Here's the thing. EVERY pug I've run so far, people have been nice enough to ask if they need something. So if you do that first BEFORE hitting need, I'm sure that people would be nice enough to give it to you. Sure there will be people that will argue, just explain your situation and if it's still a no go, there's another pug like 5 minutes away.
Don't tell people to use need and then argue that there may be people who actually need the thing and will lose out because your arguing for everyone to need the damn thing.
Jack Miles said...
Noone has any greater claim on a frozen orb as anyone else, at least while pugging, so you don't need a two tiered loot roll system. So you should just use need, since it still does the exact same thing as anyone choosing greed, but completely destroys the ability to ninja it.
Sure, if the rest of your group hasn;t thought this through or discussed it, and all hit "Greed", and use greed, but the standard should be to need.
When I started doing content where Frozen Orbs appeared, my guildmates said to me: "it's always need on frozen orbs" and I've been doing that way since.
I'm no longer in that guild, but everywhere I go people do it this way.
I think if it where greed, it would be the same, because it would be standard procedure.
As it is a crafting mat, is no different than dream shards or frostweave. You don't need it to equip it, you need it to do something with it. And if you want to craft something that uses it as a mat, then is no different than stacking cloth to craft bolts. (I'm tailor-enchanter, that's why I use this examples).
I've never seen anyone anywhere saying "hey, I want all the runecloth in this run because I have to craft XX".
Needing Frozen Orbs is no different than needing other crafting mats. Having a reason to need it now shouldn't be a reason to get it now. I'm used to wait to get my crafting mats, because they're rare and expensive.
I know it can sound egoistic, but I'm used to wait when I need to stack a mat. If it's urgent, there is always the AH. And if it is so expensive that I can't afford buying it, then it is not something I need right now.
Ringo Flinthammer said...
Your server economies baffle me if you guys still care this much about frozen orbs. You get more than the cost of one just by doing a random dungeon. Heck, if it's the first one of the day, you can buy six or seven of them on Silver Hand.

THURSDAY, Feb. 13, 2014 (HealthDay News) -- Many stroke survivors start driving again without any testing to ensure they can still drive safely, a new survey indicates.
Researchers from the Medical University of South Carolina found that more than half of the 162 stroke survivors in their study returned to driving following their stroke, with 59 percent of those returning within one month. Less than 6 percent of all stroke survivors received any formal driving evaluation before getting behind the wheel again.
"It's been my experience that even though one of the very first questions stroke patients ask is when they can go back to driving, very few will actually go and get a formal driving evaluation," said study author Dr. Shelly Ozark, an assistant professor of neurology.
"Some of that is the nature of stroke itself," she said. "Even though it can be a devastating illness, some people think if they have no problem walking or seeing, they're not affected. People don't necessarily recognize they have deficits."
Ozark said most states do not require such testing after a stroke unless it is for a commercial license.
"I don't think [stroke patients] should allow themselves or others to be put at risk without a formal assessment," she said. "We recommend they get formal testing by a trained driving examiner. There needs to be greater scrutiny at the state level as to the potential impairments of drivers returning to the road."
The findings are to be presented Thursday at the International Stroke Conference in San Diego. Research presented at scientific conferences typically has not been peer-reviewed or published, so the results are considered preliminary.
Stroke is a leading cause of death in the United States, according to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Nearly 800,000 people in the United States suffer a stroke each year, and one-quarter of those are people who have had a previous stroke.
The patients who were surveyed for the study a year after their stroke had experienced various degrees of stroke, ranging from mild to severe, Ozark said. Many physical and mental skills related to driving competence can be affected by stroke, she said, including vision, muscle strength, dexterity and attention span.
Although slightly more than 5 percent of patients returning to driving had received any formal evaluation of their driving skills, 11 percent reported that their stroke had a great effect on their ability to perform valued life activities, the study found.
But among those who said the stroke had no effect on their ability to perform valued life activities, nearly 46 percent decided to limit their driving anyway.
"That's something I don't have a good way of explaining," Ozark said. "Some just feel there's the potential for them to have another stroke ... and patients are often worried what the circumstances will be if they do have a second stroke."
Dr. Jay Volpi, a neurologist specializing in stroke at Houston Methodist Hospital in Texas, said stroke patients whose speech has been impaired often cannot read properly, which can affect their ability to interpret road signs.
"Among my patients, many times it's pretty obvious they're OK or pretty obvious they're never going to be able to drive again," said Volpi, who wasn't involved in the research. "But many times they fall in the middle range where we just don't know."

Directed by Alex Kurtzman
Though this movie wants to be about and for adults, it's hamstrung by the soap-opera mentality of its writers, Roberto Orci and Jody Lambert, and its director, Alex Kurtzman. It's about Sam, a young salesman (Chris Pine) who has estranged himself from his emotionally unavailable father, an LA music producer. When his father dies, he reluctantly flies out to see his mother (Michelle Pfeiffer), arriving too late for the funeral. There he finds himself the unwilling emissary for his dad's last request: to deliver an envelope full of cash to Frankie (Elizabeth Banks), the sister Sam never knew he had.
Kurtzman does a fine job with all the actors, including Olivia Wilde as Sam's girl friend and Michael Hall D'Addario as Frankie's angry young son, who has trouble living in his own skin. But the writers keep resisting their own dramatic arc, which seems to be about Sam's recognition that he's alarmingly like his father. Instead they cop out and soften the figure of the father. Take This Waltz fumbles but strives to be honest; People Like Us is essentially fraudulent.
