There Will Never Be Another Nelson Mandela
Photo by AP
Imagine for a second that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was not assassinated in 1968 but was instead jailed by the federal government for treason.
With the United States coming apart at the seams with open racial conflict between the races, a crumbling economy, and stiff international economic sanctions at play, imagine that Dr. King won release from prison 27 years later.
It would be 1995, and the United States turned to King, a recently released prisoner in fair health, to help reverse America's path toward the brink of self-destruction.
Implausible, right? Could never happen.
But it did in South Africa.
Nelson Mandela walked from a jail cell to lead a country from ruination in a story that, upon reflection, seems too remarkable to be true. Mandela combined the heroism and selflessness of King, the leadership skills of George Washington, and the ability to unite a nation of Abraham Lincoln.
Reporting the story of South Africa's first shaky steps to freedom and watching a genuine hero assume leadership leaves me shaking my head in disbelief to this day.
When I spent a month in South Africa reporting on Mandela's election for the Cleveland Plain Dealer, I, like many of my colleagues, was swept up with the hopes that Mandela could weave his fractured country into a united nation.
But few of us would have bet a nickel that the grand experiment would prove successful.
For years, agents of the South African government and their buddies in the Ronald Reagan White House were putting out word that Mandela had lost it mentally and that bitterness over his years of imprisonment had caused the old man to snap.
It was only the weight of international sanctions and desperation on the part of the White apartheid government that forced White leaders to partner with Mandela and actually allow him to lead, we were told by sources.
But a strange thing happened on Mandela's walk to freedom: he carried his country along for the ride.

The thing about Nelson Mandela was that he made the rest of us want to be almost as noble as he.
Imprisoned for 27 years, the anti-apartheid leader who had declared at his 1964 trial that he was willing to die for his beliefs in human dignity and racial equality emerged from that experience not filled with hatred, but courtly, magnanimous, humble and good-humored.
His very demeanor served as the rebuttal to all those who peddled fear and foretold disaster and bloodshed should black South Africans get the vote and take power in Pretoria.

Judge Rules Obama's Uncle Can Stay In The U.S.
Onyango Obama (pictured), the uncle of President Barack Obama, can now remain here as per a federal judge ruling on Tuesday, reports the Boston Globe.
The 69-year-old man, who is the half-brother of the president's late father, Barack Obama Sr., has invoked his famous nephew's name throughout his court proceedings to fight off deportation efforts. Obama says he came to this country in 1963 as a teen from his native Kenya with the help of the president's father. He had a student visa at the time of his arrival which he did renew but allowed to expire in 1970.
The White House declared last year that the president has never met Obama. Yet the sexagenarian insists his famous nephew stayed with him for three weeks while he attended Harvard Law School in the 1980s.
Since the student visa, Obama has reportedly not obtained any other rights under U.S. immigration laws during his time here. He did, however, manage to obtain a valid Kenyan passport that has since been renewed but not much else.
An immigration judge ordered Obama to leave the country voluntarily back in 1989. Obama appealed the order to the Board of Immigration Appeals but lost and was ordered deported in 1992.
He never left the country.
Obama had been working as a liquor manager and living inconspicuously when Framingham, Massachusetts police flagged and arrested him back in August 2011 on a drunk driving charge. It was when Obama was given a year's probation for his crime, that his case and immigration status received national media attention. Many accused the government of giving him special treatment at the same time President Obama is deporting record numbers of illegal immigrants.
Obama, who never married or had any children while in this country is now welcomed here legally after his victorious courtroom win. He can now get a green card and apply for U.S. citizenship in five years unless the Department of Homeland security appeals the case.
Obama was granted legal status because according to the immigration judge, he came to this country before 1972 and had displayed "good moral character." The judge also pointed out that Obama has been an avid community volunteer and is a "kind and decent person."
Other than the drunk driving charge, no other charges have marred Obama's character.
In a similar situation, Obama's sister Zeituni Onyango was granted asylum in 2010 after a federal official leaked her immigration status to the press days before the president's 2008 election.

Tumblr, G+, and Chapter 0
Posted in 53431, neofunk, New Release, s-endz, swami on January 31st, 2012
Sorry Neosouljas,
Since I started using Tumblr, I've been neglecting this old WordPress blog. These days the best way to keep up with me is over at Tumblr, Twitter and Google+.
Long and short of it – I cancelled my full length debut album "Emanate" and am instead releasing a new EP entitled "Chapter 0: REINKARNAL" which you can find out about at chapter0.s-endz.com. The first track, "Alone" will be released on February 11th with subsequent songs being released every two weeks.
This WP blog will likely go completely out of commission soon, I just haven't figured out where s-endz.com should point to, instead. Most likely I'll build some sort of page that has various links to different social media presences… and shit like that. Peace and be wild.

The Gods' tears fell in streams, bouncing of the street and soaking my boots. Even the short distance from the taxi to the front door of the large Georgian house left their leather dull and wet.

1/2 cup (3 1/2 ounces) sugar
8 tablespoons butter, olive oil or lard, see note below
3 eggs, separated
2 tablespoons milk
1 tablespoon honey
Grated zest of 1/2 lemon
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup sesame seeds
3 tablespoons water
1. Combine the flour, sugar and butter in a large bowl until mixture resembles coarse sand. Add the egg yolks, milk, honey, lemon zest and salt; knead with your hands until a dough forms. Roll the dough into a ball; cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate 1 hour.
2. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Toast the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat until light golden, about 5 minutes; shake pan occasionally and do not overcook, or they'll burn. Pour into a shallow bowl or plate; let cool.
3. Beat the egg whites and water with a fork in a small bowl; set aside.
4. Divide chilled dough into four portions. Roll each section into a log about 1-inch thick; cut the log into 1 1/2-inch sections. Dip each section in the egg whites, then roll in the sesame seeds, covering all sides. Place cookies on a baking sheet lined with parchment or foil. Bake until golden, about 30 minutes. (Do not over bake; check the bottom of the cookies.) Cool cookies on wire rack. Cookies can be stored in an airtight container for several weeks, and freeze well too.
Note: Butter or oil will give these cookies a softer center; lard will make them crunchier.

A report from the Fraser Institute finds investment in Ohio by oil and natural gas drillers is pulling back a bit. The survey of petroleum executives and managers about barriers to oil and gas investment in areas throughout the world ranked Ohio 14th. The state was second last year.
Tom Stewart with the Ohio Oil and Gas Association says it is proof that energy companies are hesitating to invest in Ohio due to uncertainty about taxes and regulations.
The report says increased regulations within the past year to year-and-a-half have made it much more difficult to do business in the oil and gas industry. It also cited Gov. John Kasich's proposal to raise the severance tax to pay for an income tax cut for Ohioans as another hurdle to investing in Ohio.
"The tax increase is based on an emerging Utica Shale play that has yet to be proven economic. The recent proposed tax increase and new regulations make investment in Ohio much less desirable," the report said.
"That's something that we as an industry, state government, and certainly the General Assembly need to seriously consider," Stewart said.
Stewart says an earlier report supporting Kasich's plan estimated the price of a well to be $2-$4 million. It's actually closer to $10-$12 million he says.
"If we do what we want to do Ohio remains more competitive than our neighbors," said Rob Nichols, spokesman for Gov. John Kasich.
He says an updated study does take the increased drilling price into account and Ohio is still lower than neighboring states. Nichols calls the plan a win-win for Ohio.
"We get the benefit of the jobs in the industry and by driving down the income tax Ohio's small businesses are able to hire again."
But Stewart says just because drilling companies have already committed millions to buy mineral rights doesn't mean they are forced to go forward with drilling. He says those investments are only a small percentage of their overall drilling budgets.
Nichols says concerns about regulations have been addressed with the recent passage of Kasich's mid-budget review.
Lawmakers still haven't taken action on Kasich's tax proposal.

If you were reading the newspaper regarding Tori, you would have learned that Tori's favourite holiday was Halloween, and her favourite colour was purple. I ask that this Halloween everyone dedicate it to Tori and wear purple in honour of a special little girl to keep her memory alive. Wear a purple sweater or even a ribbon – anything.

Baby Jogger City Mini GT Single Black/Black
The Baby Jogger City Mini GT Stroller is here! Baby Jogger listened to all the complaints they've received on the City Mini and they've created the City Mini GT - an improved model. The City Mini GT comes in single and in double stroller. What's Changed? The seats are wider, deeper and taller which will give your child a more comfortable ride. Plus they've added on a lot more padding as you can see in the pictures, so the child won't feel the frame through the fabric. The footrest is deeper, which is great for older children.
The wheels are changed too. Wheels are 8 1/2 inches, and more rugged and durable. The bigger size allows a smoother ride and is great for maneuverability. The adjustable handlebar is another new feature of the City Mini GT - great for parents of all heights. There are now two peek-a-boo windows which make the ride more exciting.
The weight limit of the City Mini GT is now 65 lbs!! The GT Double is 65 lbs each seat. The original City Mini only holds up to 50lbs. The only negative change I can think of is that the stroller weighs 4 lbs more than the original City Mini. But considering all of the awesome changes - it's so worth it!
The City Mini GT Double has everything and anything the owner of a city mini stroller would have loved to add on to their stroller. From extra thick comfortable padding to great al-terrain forever air tires and larger frame for bigger children and more! The GT is going to Rock!
The GT's new tires are really great with sealed ball bearings and polyfilled tires. So you get all the benefits of an air tire without ever having to fill them up!
The City Mini GT Double Stroller seat is 2" deeper than the city mini standard model and also 1.5" taller. The weight limit has been raised to 100lbs so your stroller will last your longer too! (A worthwhile investment!)
A new handbrake (bye-bye footbrakes…. Yes they are annoying!) and an adjustable handlebar too!
A fold lock for the City Mini GT Double Stroller for easier handling.
With all these great add ons the stroller is still lightweight and has the great easy one hand fold. (Yes we know moms only have one hand when folding a stroller as your child is usually in the other hand!).
As with the City Mini Standard, the Baby Jogger City Mini Double GT stroller includes the following great features.
• A universal accessory mounting bracket, for car seat adapters, snack trays.
• An easy to adjust recline, which can recline nearly flat
• A locking swivel front wheel
• A generously-sized under-seat storage basket.
• A 5-point stroller safety harness with shoulder pads and buckle covers

COLORADO SPRINGS, COLO. -- A 55-year-old woman was robbed at gunpoint just after leaving a medical marijuana facility Monday evening, police said.
At about 7:30 p.m., Monday, police were called to the 2300 block of East Bijou Street on the report of a robbery.
Police said a 55-year-old woman had just left a medical marijuana facility when she was contacted by a man who exicted a white mini van in the area. The man, according to police, pointed a handgun at the woman and demanded her purse.
A second suspect then excited the van and also pointed a gun at the woman as the first suspect struggled to get the purse.
After the men got the purse, they fled the area in the van.
The first suspect is described as a black male with a goatee, about 25-30 years old, five-foot-eight and wearing a blue windbreaker jacket with gray or white accents. He was also wearing blue jeans.
Police said the second suspect was described as a black male about 20-30 years old, five-foot-six, and wearing a gray shirt and very baggie pants.
The driver was also described as a black male.
Any information on this crime can be reported to police at 444-7000.

I've had contact with one of the Chinese beta testers, he told me that he felt the gameplay was more like DotA then HoN, in that it felt a bit slower, just like DotA.
someone should make a dota2 forum for former HoN players. this way members of the hon community that play dota2 will have a place to gather.
Questionable statement.
IF has a history of letting heros go OP for quite a while. It all depends on how far away from eacother the patches will be in DotA2.
Perhaps he's referring to the original DotA?
He's talking about the general art direction. Naturally it looks far better than LoL. That doesn't take a lot. If you look at e.g. the ground. It has a very LoL-ish feel to it.
Will be interesting too se if they can pull of OMG mode. Sincerely doubt that they can pull it off with those system specs. They might have a function version for the limited hero pool they have in the game atm. However, when they have the full hero roster ported (Isn't over a 100 by now?) they probably can't get it to work. At least not without a new loading time everytime someone respawns with new abilities. It worked because of how the WC3 engine worked. But, with the updated graphics etc. You would need to load in every single spell in the game before hand, which requies a lot more resources on the servers and clientside.
Unless the porgammers came up with some ingenious method it's simply not going to happend.
WTF mode probably will, though.
i'm sure icefrog will step up his balancing for dota2. i don't think Valve will let dota2 not be competitively balanced.
Comment on gosugamers:
How ****ing clueless can some be LOLThe video was made/rendered with the Source Video Maker and that means that all scenes are from ingame and that is what you can expect the game to look like.
The trailer brought me back a few years ago playing DotA...
If Valve can provide a proper set of gaming servers (which S2 seems to be unable according to the EU servers issues), I will definitely swap to DotA 2 on the long term.
For now, wait and see.
Yup, Valve is totally known for their competitively perfect games.
You know, CSS. TF2.
Both those games are comparable to DotA2 in the sense that they were classic games, with competitive playerbases, being revamped into a new game by Valve. Both games failed at the competitive side, and went for casual appeal.
havent heard about the other teams.
the new cs wont be pc only there goes ur competitive playerbase valve
Don't be so scared, it is just a game.
dota2 will have its place and will succeed when balanced.
graphics are cool, because you get that medieval magic feeling.
i wouldnt compare it lol or hon, it is a game of its own as those two.
there was a time when ppl enjoyed games. Now everything kinda sux for everyone. Because many trolls came and established divisions like "this game sux no skill no brain", "no, your game sux my game rox". To such i say **** YOU i'll play all the games.
trailer is awesome ! any information about the release date? so i can uninstall hon from my pc.
Dunno if some1 has posted it already, but here is trailer to Dota2
Holy ****, so much mad hatred towards S2 in this thread. You guys seem very tense, I think you should try getting laid or something..

Source Multi-Tool 1.0
Nov 23, 2013 Garrys Mod Mapping Tool 1 commentI've been working away at this for quite awhile now and after many revisions I'm happy to release version 1.0 of the new Source Multi-Tool. Source Multi-Tool...
Portal has been called one of the most innovative games of the decade. A hybrid of FPS style and a new genre of spatial brain teasers, Portal offers hours of totally unique gameplay.
Set in the mysterious Aperture Science Laboratories, players must solve physical puzzles and challenges by opening portals, maneuvering objects, and moving themselves through space in ways that used to be impossible.
Playing Portal today will teach you how to love a "companion cube", whether a computer named GLaDOS really wants you dead, and why your friends keep telling you "the cake is a lie".
About Blue Portals with 10 comments by reepblue on Oct 16th, 2013
It's hard to imagine that the last time we spoken true word about Blue Portals was in 2011. What happened to Refresh? UP? and what about those strange pictures we posted in April? And most importantly; what is the future of Blue Portals?
Back in 2011, we were working on a mappack called Blue Portals: Refresh. It was suppose to be a more wackier approach to the Blue Portals environment and included fun and crazy sounds, along with party balloons. It was also suppose to link the ending of Blue Portals, but not directly. I forgot why exactly this project stopped, but as I was playing the maps over again, half of them are broken pretty bad.
There was also a version of Blue Portals: Refresh that was just Blue Portals 2 puzzles in a broken down environment. (This was after we announced cancellation of BP2) While it looked nice and pretty, the performance was terrible when the player created two linked portals. I sadly don't have any screens of this build as all the screens have been uploaded to Zilefile, which has been down since 2011.
Ideas for Blue Portals came as fast as they left. I eventually (and many others) just started to get bored with Portal mapping in-general. With me, projects stopped being fun unless I had code to compile. Early 2012, I started PUNT (soon to be listed as Vectronic). However, we still came back to BP briefly from time to time.
The idea of a New Blue Portals was interesting to us, so Colossal made a new set of textures, and I've remade the BP2 maps. But, due to Portal 2's limitations, and Source 2013's handicaps, this would be a difficult task, and would be much more work then fun.
So, now we've come to the update. This update will have the Steampipe gameinfo fix, controller support (Has an updated config), and will include Extended Play, The Planet Phillip Contest Maps, and Conversion Cubed. The update will also have the removal of the Time Trials maps, and files that only been used in test maps.
However, we have one small problem. I really don't want to recompile the maps not only because I'm not set up for it, but I can't rebuild the cubemaps. I would have to extract the Portal content to the 2007 engine, and I really don't want to do this. This is not a problem at all, however the last map (bp_11) crashes upon the projected texture, and if that's disabled, it crashes when the map goes to the credits. If you have gotten Blue Portals to work with the Steampipe update, I ask for you to play the last map and see if it crashes. No one is reporting it here, so I just wanna make sure it's not just me. You can PM me if it does or does not, and maybe look at it yourself with the Blue Portals SDK Files. Don't follow the installation instructions as it's out of date. I've noticed a broken I/O connection with the path tracks and trains. My next guess is to compare the 2007 code and 2013 code about that kind of stuff.
The goal now of Blue Portals is to keep it 100% playable, but also not change what we released in 2010. (Like now we don't have much of a choice.) Hopefully, I'll be posting here for big announcements, but for smaller updates, please check my Twitter feed.

Highest Rated (8 agree) 10/10
Straightforward gameplay, and not too hard or too easy. Once you figure it out, its really fun.
Dec 31 2010, 9:44pm by arieas
Lowest Rated (3 agree) 5/10
what to say? this game is not challenging at all, completely boring and waaaay too short.
After 90 minutes of playing, just when i asked myself "when is this stupid tutorial over, i want puzzles!" the credits appeared and the game was over. it was really disappointing. the only thing that kept me from smashing my computer was this funny "still alive" song that was played in the credits.
that song is the only positive thing about this game. and certainly not worth 20 bucks.

A dagger of the mind, a false creation,
Proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?
I see thee yet, in form as palpable
As this which now I draw.
Thou marshall'st me the way that I was going;
And such an instrument I was to use.
Mine eyes are made the fools o' the other senses,
Or else worth all the rest; I see thee still,
And on thy blade and dudgeon gouts of blood,
Which was not so before. There's no such thing:
It is the bloody business which informs
Thus to mine eyes. Now o'er the one halfworld
Nature seems dead, and wicked dreams abuse
The curtain'd sleep; witchcraft celebrates
Pale Hecate's offerings, and wither'd murder,
Alarum'd by his sentinel, the wolf,
Whose howl's his watch, thus with his stealthy pace.
With Tarquin's ravishing strides, towards his design
Moves like a ghost. Thou sure and firm-set earth,
Hear not my steps, which way they walk, for fear
Thy very stones prate of my whereabout,
And take the present horror from the time,
Which now suits with it. Whiles I threat, he lives:
Words to the heat of deeds too cold breath gives.
"Is This A Dagger Which I See Before Me" Soliloquy Translation:
It was totally silent. And pitch black. It was now or never. Macbeth stared into the darkness. And as he looked it seemed that a dagger hung there. He closed his eyes and opened them again. It was still there. He peered. It didn't waver. Was it really a dagger? Its handle towards his hand?
He tried to clutch it. His hand went right through it: it was still there and yet he couldn't feel it. Was it only a dagger of the mind, a false creation of a fevered brain?
He could still see it as he drew his own, real, dagger: it was pointing the way to Duncan's room. He knew he was seeing things and yet it was so real. And now there was blood on it, which hadn't been there before.
It was ridiculous. There was no such thing. He knew it was the violence in his mind that was coming out in the form of a bloody dagger.
His mind was filled with images of fear and horror and he stood there, overwhelmed by them, until a bell rang and brought him back to the business in hand.
'I go, and it is done: the bell invites me.' He began walking. 'Don't hear it, Duncan; for it's a knell that summons you to heaven or to hell.'

So says Friendster.com, whose millions of members have transformed it from a dating site into a free-for-all of connectedness where new social rules are born of necessity. A 25-year-old graduate student at the University of California at Berkeley, Ms. Boyd studies Friendster, hovering above the fray with a Web log called Connected Selves (www.zephoria.org/snt) and interviewing Friendster users. Her irrepressible observations have made her a social-network guru for the programmers and venture capitalists who swarm around Friendster and its competitors.
''She's definitely a Pied Piper for a bunch of different people,'' said Joichi Ito, a high-tech venture capitalist who lives in Tokyo. ''At the same time she, as an academic, is able to articulate what is going on in a way that the people building the tools rarely understand or can articulate.''
Ms. Boyd explained Friendster this way: ''It allows you to purposely say who the people in your world are and to allow them to see each other, through a connection of you.'' An individual registered at Friendster has a home page with photos, a brief profile and photos of people to whom they have agreed to link.

Quadratic odds and ends
Introduction to the quadratic equation
Introduction to using the quadratic equation to solve 2nd degree polynomial equations
⇐ Use this menu to view and help create subtitles for this video in many different languages.
You'll probably want to hide YouTube's captions if using these subtitles.
- Welcome to the presentation on using the quadratic equation.
- So the quadratic equation, it sounds like something
- very complicated.
- And when you actually first see the quadratic equation, you'll
- say, well, not only does it sound like something
- complicated, but it is something complicated.
- But hopefully you'll see, over the course of this
- presentation, that it's actually not hard to use.
- And in a future presentation I'll actually show you
- how it was derived.
- So, in general, you've already learned how to factor a
- second degree equation.
- You've learned that if I had, say, x squared minus
- x, minus 6, equals 0.
- If I had this equation. x squared minus x minus x equals
- zero, that you could factor that as x minus 3 and
- x plus 2 equals 0.
- Which either means that x minus 3 equals 0 or
- x plus 2 equals 0.
- So x minus 3 equals 0 or x plus 2 equals 0.
- So, x equals 3 or negative 2.
- And, a graphical representation of this would be, if I had the
- function f of x is equal to x squared minus x minus 6.
- So this axis is the f of x axis.
- You might be more familiar with the y axis, and for the purpose
- of this type of problem, it doesn't matter.
- And this is the x axis.
- And if I were to graph this equation, x squared minus x,
- minus 6, it would look something like this.
- A bit like -- this is f of x equals minus 6.
- And the graph will kind of do something like this.
- 34 00:01:57,15 --> 00:02:00,03 Go up, it will keep going up in that direction.
- And know it goes through minus 6, because when x equals 0,
- f of x is equal to minus 6.
- So I know it goes through this point.
- And I know that when f of x is equal to 0, so f of x is equal
- to 0 along the x axis, right?
- Because this is 1.
- This is 0.
- This is negative 1.
- So this is where f of x is equal to 0, along
- this x axis, right?
- And we know it equals 0 at the points x is equal to 3 and
- x is equal to minus 2.
- That's actually what we solved here.
- Maybe when we were doing the factoring problems we didn't
- realize graphically what we were doing.
- But if we said that f of x is equal to this function, we're
- setting that equal to 0.
- So we're saying this function, when does
- this function equal 0?
- When is it equal to 0?
- Well, it's equal to 0 at these points, right?
- Because this is where f of x is equal to 0.
- And then what we were doing when we solved this by
- factoring is, we figured out, the x values that made f of x
- equal to 0, which is these two points.
- And, just a little terminology, these are also called
- the zeroes, or the roots, of f of x.
- 63 00:03:12,47 --> 00:03:14,81 Let's review that a little bit.
- So, if I had something like f of x is equal to x squared plus
- 4x plus 4, and I asked you, where are the zeroes, or
- the roots, of f of x.
- That's the same thing as saying, where does f of x
- interject intersect the x axis?
- And it intersects the x axis when f of x is
- equal to 0, right?
- If you think about the graph I had just drawn.
- So, let's say if f of x is equal to 0, then we could
- just say, 0 is equal to x squared plus 4x plus 4.
- And we know, we could just factor that, that's x
- plus 2 times x plus 2.
- And we know that it's equal to 0 at x equals minus 2.
- 78 00:04:10,17 --> 00:04:13,94 x equals minus 2.
- Well, that's a little -- x equals minus 2.
- So now, we know how to find the 0's when the the actual
- equation is easy to factor.
- But let's do a situation where the equation is actually
- not so easy to factor.
- 85 00:04:32,12 --> 00:04:39,75 Let's say we had f of x is equal to minus 10x
- squared minus 9x plus 1.
- Well, when I look at this, even if I were to divide it by 10 I
- would get some fractions here.
- And it's very hard to imagine factoring this quadratic.
- And that's what's actually called a quadratic equation, or
- this second degree polynomial.
- But let's set it -- So we're trying to solve this.
- Because we want to find out when it equals 0.
- Minus 10x squared minus 9x plus 1.
- We want to find out what x values make this
- equation equal to zero.
- And here we can use a tool called a quadratic equation.
- And now I'm going to give you one of the few things in math
- that's probably a good idea to memorize.
- The quadratic equation says that the roots of a quadratic
- are equal to -- and let's say that the quadratic equation is
- a x squared plus b x plus c equals 0.
- So, in this example, a is minus 10.
- b is minus 9, and c is 1.
- The formula is the roots x equals negative b plus or minus
- the square root of b squared minus 4 times a times c,
- all of that over 2a.
- I know that looks complicated, but the more you use it, you'll
- see it's actually not that bad.
- And this is a good idea to memorize.
- So let's apply the quadratic equation to this equation
- that we just wrote down.
- So, I just said -- and look, the a is just the coefficient
- on the x term, right?
- a is the coefficient on the x squared term.
- b is the coefficient on the x term, and c is the constant.
- So let's apply it tot this equation.
- What's b?
- Well, b is negative 9.
- We could see here.
- b is negative 9, a is negative 10.
- c is 1.
- Right?
- So if b is negative 9 -- so let's say, that's negative 9.
- Plus or minus the square root of negative 9 squared.
- Well, that's 81.
- 128 00:06:53,14 --> 00:06:56,94 Minus 4 times a.
- a is minus 10.
- Minus 10 times c, which is 1.
- I know this is messy, but hopefully you're
- understanding it.
- And all of that over 2 times a.
- Well, a is minus 10, so 2 times a is minus 20.
- So let's simplify that.
- Negative times negative 9, that's positive 9.
- Plus or minus the square root of 81.
- We have a negative 4 times a negative 10.
- This is a minus 10.
- I know it's very messy, I really apologize
- for that, times 1.
- So negative 4 times negative 10 is 40, positive 40.
- Positive 40.
- And then we have all of that over negative 20.
- Well, 81 plus 40 is 121.
- So this is 9 plus or minus the square root
- of 121 over minus 20.
- Square root of 121 is 11.
- So I'll go here.
- Hopefully you won't lose track of what I'm doing.
- So this is 9 plus or minus 11, over minus 20.
- And so if we said 9 plus 11 over minus 20, that is 9
- plus 11 is 20, so this is 20 over minus 20.
- Which equals negative 1.
- So that's one root.
- That's 9 plus -- because this is plus or minus.
- And the other root would be 9 minus 11 over negative 20.
- Which equals minus 2 over minus 20.
- Which equals 1 over 10.
- So that's the other root.
- So if we were to graph this equation, we would see that it
- actually intersects the x axis.
- Or f of x equals 0 at the point x equals negative
- 1 and x equals 1/10.
- I'm going to do a lot more examples in part 2, because I
- think, if anything, I might have just confused
- you with this one.
- So, I'll see you in the part 2 of using the
- quadratic equation.

NBA Saturday: Free Agency Rumors, The Next Tier
NBA free agency is in full swing and with most of the top guys on the market coming to terms (deals can't be signed until July 11) the domino effect will begin to bring the next tier of players into the limelight. There are still more than few guys available without agreements in hand who can help a contender or team on the rise.
Here is a list of notable second wave guys whose stocks are rising as the smoke begins to clear at the top of the free agency pyramid – somewhat.
Chris Kaman – Center – Unrestricted Free Agent
Last season: New Orleans Hornets
13.1 points, 7.7 rebounds, 1.6 blocks, 45% FG, 79% FT
The days of the dominant NBA center are a thing of the past, but productive big men will always have a home in the league and will be compensated extremely well for their size. After Indiana center Roy Hibbert, who has a max offer on the table from Portland, Kaman is the most coveted free agent center remaining on the market. Just two years ago Kaman was an All-Star performer with the Los Angeles Clippers but has only appeared in 79 games over the past two seasons.
Sources say Kaman, who met with Indiana team officials this week, will be the Pacers' top priority if the team opts not to match the Blazers' reported four-year $58 million offer sheet for Hibbert.
The veteran center has also received interest from Sacramento, Dallas and San Antonio. There is also a chance New Orleans stays in the mix for his services as well.
Lou Williams – Shooting Guard – Unrestricted Free Agent
Last season: Philadelphia 76ers
14.9 points, 3.5 assists, 2.4 rebounds, 41% FG, 36% 3PT, 81% FT
In a mild shocker, the Philadelphia 76ers agreed to terms with shooting guard Nick Young on a one-year deal on Friday which all but sealed the fate of Williams' seven year run in Philadelphia.
Williams has established himself as a proven double-digit scoring threat off the bench for the past five years and received some much deserved early run for the league's Sixth Man of the Year this past season.
According to SI's Sam Amick, the Phoenix Suns may emerge as a suitor for Williams' services if their max contract offer to shooting guard Eric Gordon (very likely) is matched by New Orleans after the league moratorium is lifted on July 11.
OJ Mayo – Shooting Guard – Unrestricted Free Agent
Last season: Memphis Grizzlies
12.6 points, 3.2 rebounds, 2.6 assists, 41% FG, 36% 3PT, 77% FT
Ever since Mayo lost his starting shooting guard spot early in the 2011 season, the common belief was his days in Memphis were numbered. In fact, Mayo was almost traded multiple times over the past two seasons before the plug was pulled for a variety of reasons.
One of the primary suitors for his services has been the Indiana Pacers and according to HOOPSWORLD's Alex Kennedy sources continue to maintain the team has a serious interest in the guard heading into his fifth season. The Dallas Mavericks have also emerged as a likely suitor.
Mayo's camp has indicated the guard is looking for a deal more than the midlevel exception, which may keep some teams on the sidelines unless Mayo backs off the demand.
Raymond Felton – Point Guard – Unrestricted Free Agent
Last season: Portland Trail Blazers
11.4 points, 6.5 assists, 41% FG, 31% 3PT, 81% FT
To imply Felton's one year stint in journey proved to be disastrous is an understatement. Felton entered the season out of shape and there were reports of a feud with then head coach Nate McMillan.
Even with last season's episode fresh, there's no denying that when properly motivated Felton is a borderline All-Star talent and a proven starting point guard with game.
The Houston Rockets, who have a contract offer on the table to New York's Jeremy Lin, has reportedly touched base with Felton's camp according to the Houston Chronicle's Jonathan Feigen. The Knicks have the option to match Lin's offer and in all likelihood will do so, but if not sources say the team would have interest in signing Felton to pair alongside newly added guard Jason Kidd in the backcourt.
Felton also met with the Phoenix Suns earlier this week but appears to be out of the running there with the club offering the emerging Goran Dragic a multi-year deal.
Joe Johnson Delivered Deron Williams To Brooklyn: The most coveted free agent of the summer of 2012 was All-Star point guard Deron Williams who chose to remain in Brooklyn instead of heading home to Dallas to play with the Mavericks.
Williams maintains the decision was a tough one, but ultimately Brooklyn's clear direction toward title contention was the primary driver in his choice (Brooklyn also could offer him $20 million more than Dallas in a new deal).
Dallas was close, but the Nets' trade for six-time All-Star guard Joe Johnson to pair with Williams in the backcourt was also a key factor in his decision to stay put in Brooklyn.
"I was really close to going to Dallas,'' Williams told Marc Berman of the New York Post. "I actually thought that's where I was going to go. Then I had the meetings [with Dallas and Nets] and changed my mind. After I got out of the meeting with Dallas, saw the team they were going to have and putting out there and we just made the trade for Joe Johnson, I felt that team [the Nets] for a longer time would be the better team.''
In Atlanta, the removal of Johnson's large contract from the books led many fans to rejoice the trade made by newly hired general manager Danny Ferry but in Brooklyn the acquisition of the high scoring veteran may have boosted the franchise back into league wide relevancy. Williams has high hopes for the duo for years to come.
"Joey, I never played with anyone like him,'' Williams said. "A guy on the wing that can get his own shot, but also get me involved and is a great defender. We can be one of the top backcourts in the NBA.''
The Nets still may not be finished making moves this summer as the team remains engaged in discussions to acquire center Dwight Howard from the Orlando Magic.
Quick NBA Notes
- One of the pieces sent by Brooklyn to Atlanta in the Johnson trade, point guard Jordan Farmar, next stop may be outside of the NBA. Farmar is widely expected to be waived once the moratorium is lifted on July 11 by the Hawks who acquired Devin Harris in a separate deal last week. According to a Sportando report, Farmar is in advanced negotiations with Turkish club Anadolu Efes Istanbul. The deal would be for two years with an option for a third season paying $2.5 million per season.
- Jason Kidd recently agreed to terms with the New York Knicks and opened up on why decided not to return to Dallas as their starting point guard. "I was with my good friend Deron [Williams], and I am looking at him and he talked to me about it and the reason why he thought he couldn't go was because of the [Mavericks] roster," Kidd said in an interview on WFAN. "I kind of looked at it, too and I backed off and I looked at it and said, 'Hey, New York has a chance to be successful. I can help those guys win.' "
- As reported in detail last night, the Miami HEAT and future Hall of Fame guard Ray Allen have agreed to a deal. Allen will play for Miami's mini midlevel exception worth $3.09 million per season. Allen spent the prior five seasons with the Boston Celtics and turned down their reported $6 million per year offer to join the reigning NBA champions.

Testicular microlithiasis: Is it associated with testicular cancer?
By Mayo Clinic staffOriginal Article: http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/microlithiasis/AN01538
- With Mayo Clinic medical oncologist
Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.

Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
Timothy Moynihan, M.D.
"As a practicing medical oncologist, I meet with patients and families every day to help manage their course through this disease called cancer. This experience provides unique insight into the needs of cancer patients, their families and loved ones and brings into sharp focus the need for reliable information to be readily available in terms that can be easily understood." — Dr. Timothy Moynihan
Dr. Timothy Moynihan believes that providing consumers with accurate, timely information on the broad, complex topic of cancer is the biggest challenge facing medical websites. As the guiding force behind our cancer content, he makes sure Mayo Clinic meets the test.
Dr. Moynihan, born in Las Vegas, N.M., and raised in Denver, is a consultant in medical oncology at Mayo Clinic and an associate professor at Mayo Clinic College of Medicine, Rochester, Minn. He's board certified in internal medicine, medical oncology, and hospice and palliative care medicine.
He did his medical oncology training at Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, and then went on to the University of Minnesota and St. Paul Regions Medical Center for seven years before moving to Mayo Clinic in 1999. Dr. Moynihan is medical director of the Mayo Clinic hospice.
Dr. Moynihan serves as the education chair for the Department of Oncology and the fellowship program director. Four times he has been selected as Teacher of the Year in medical oncology and elected to the Teacher of the Year Hall of Fame.
Past honors include distinguished clinical teacher at the University of Minnesota Medical School, best internist at the Medical College of Wisconsin and recipient of the Upjohn Achievement Award for Excellence in Medicine. Dr. Moynihan serves on several national committees for the American Society of Clinical Oncology.
"The Internet provides a ready source of information on a wide range of topics of interest to those affected by cancer," Dr. Moynihan says. "The difficulty is trying to decide which sites provide reputable information and which information is relevant to each individual patient. The long history and tradition of excellence associated with Mayo Clinic assures you that information provided will be reliable, up-to-date and comprehensive."
Testicular microlithiasis: Is it associated with testicular cancer?
Is testicular microlithiasis associated with testicular cancer?
from Timothy J. Moynihan, M.D.
Testicular microlithiasis (tes-TIK-u-lur mi-kro-lih-THI-uh-sis) refers to small clusters of calcium seen on an ultrasound examination of the testicles. A growing number of studies have shown a relationship between testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer. However, it remains uncertain whether having testicular microlithiasis is an independent risk factor for testicular cancer.
Testicular microlithiasis is uncommon and has many possible causes, such as infection and injury. Most studies of testicular microlithiasis have evaluated men who have had testicular ultrasounds done for some other reason, such as swelling, pain or infertility. In these studies, there appears to be a small association between microlithiasis and testicular cancer. But there's not enough evidence to be certain that the microlithiasis caused cancer.
Few studies of healthy men with no symptoms have been conducted. But results indicate that testicular microlithiasis is much more common than is testicular cancer. This has led researchers to believe that microlithiasis is unlikely to increase an otherwise healthy man's risk of testicular cancer.
If testicular microlithiasis is noted on an ultrasound done for some other reason, your doctor may recommend that you do regular testicular self-exams and make an appointment if you find any unusual lumps. If you have other risk factors for testicular cancer, your doctor may recommend close follow-up with annual testicular ultrasound scans.
