Bayer Leverkusen visit Paris Saint-Germain in need of a miracle in order to reach the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
The German side endured a disastrous first leg at the Bay Arena, with PSG cruising to an emphatic 4-0 win thanks in part to a double from Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
Sami Hyypia's men now have a mountain to climb if they are to have any chance of progressing to the last eight, and go into the fixture in poor form, having won only two of nine games in all competitions since the mid-season break.
In addition, PSG have an intimidating record at the Parc des Princes, where the Ligue 1 leaders have suffered only one defeat since November 2012 - with Montpellier springing a shock with a 2-1 Coupe de France win in January.
The likes of Ibrahimovic and Edinson Cavani have captured almost all of the limelight for PSG this season, but it is the French side's defence that has been the backbone behind their success in the Champions League.
Laurent Blanc's men have conceded only five goals in seven continental matches so far this term, and have not shipped four goals since a 4-4 Ligue 1 draw with Lyon back in February 2012.
Leverkusen's task has been made harder by an injury to midfielder Jens Hegeler, who tore ankle ligaments in the 1-1 draw with Hannover last Saturday to join Robbie Kruse on their long-term injury list.
The visitors will also be without defender Emir Spahic, who is suspended after being sent off in the first leg.
By contrast, PSG should be able to welcome back Uruguay striker Cavani, who missed Saturday's 3-0 league success at Bastia to attend to a personal matter in his homeland.
PSG are considered by most to have one foot in the quarter-finals following their dominant first leg win in Germany.
They were eliminated at the same stage on away goals by Barcelona last season and, although Blanc acknowledges that this tie is not over, he has already decided which teams he would like to avoid in the next round.
"We negotiated the first leg. And brilliantly so," the coach told Le Monde. "Now we must finish the job.
"I would like to avoid Barcelona, Real Madrid and particularly Bayern Munich.
"For four years Bayern is always present in the last four. They lost two finals. It is a club that should be avoided, but we do not control the draw."

Arizona Cardinals
Arians praises Cards' staff, players for work in OTAs
Within a couple of weeks of his mid-January hire, Bruce Arians had rounded out his 21-member coaching staff.
He fused together a team of experienced, long-tenured coaches with young, up-and-coming names to create a staff that outnumbered former Arizona Cardinals' head coach Ken Whisenhunt's regime by four. Then, Arians said that his staff -- one of the largest in the NFL -- would take pay cuts in order to up the coach-to-player ratio.
As OTAs resumed on Monday, Arians spoke highly of his staff and the work they've done this offseason.
"I've been really pleased," the coach said following Monday's activities. "The staff has done a phenomenal job, especially in fundamentals and teaching techniques."
Arians went on to speak to the all-around progress that he has seen his coaches put into effect as the changing-of-the-guard process continues.
"In each phase, at every position, in each group, we've got 95 percent of everything installed, both sides of the ball and the kicking game."
That considered, the coach couldn't help to reiterate: "I've just been really pleased. I can't say enough good things about this staff."
But he didn't limit his praise to his fellow coaches. The players, too, Arians insisted, were right on track.
"This group is way beyond where I thought they'd be right now," he said, speaking of the names on his roster.
In addition to being generally ahead of schedule with their OTA progress, Arians pointed out the sharpness of his players as they resumed activities after a week off.
"After a week off, I expected it to be a lot sloppier," he explained. "We had a couple of false starts and offsides, but all in all, I was really pleased with where we picked back up in all phases."
Thursday will be the final day of Cardinals organized team activities. Next week, non-veterans will participate in a mandatory three-day minicamp.

Poor dimmer electronics
By Andy
from Stockport
Bought to provide a nice dim light for a nursery for a new baby. The dimmer unit however is the very cheapest type available and makes an annoying buzzing noise when switched on. In a quiet baby's room this made it unusable.The buzzing is a similar volume to the fan noise from my computer and has been present with every bulb I tried (including both incandescent and dimmable LEDs).

LED lamps <10watt may cause failure
By Fyldecoaster
from St Annes
We bought this lamp as it was budget priced and met our requirements. However it failed within a few weeks. No problem as I am a qualified electrician. Keeping this short:-1)FAULT was the Dimmer electronics unit and failed.2)CAUSE OF FAILURE my use of LED low power lamp rated @ 3 watt lamps.3)EVIDENCE: the enclosed touch censor unit clearly states on its plastic moulded casing ratings of Max 60W, and a MINIMUM of 10 Watts.UNFORTUNATELY THIS MINIMUM POWER RATING DOES NOT APPEAR ON THE LABELLING.I realise using such low rating lamps is unusual, but will be an increasing occurrence as the more energy efficient LED lamps become widely available.4) ACTION REQURED: The labelling on the Lamp needs to be revised as a matter of urgency to prevent further customer dissatisfaction with a product that otherwise represents excellent value for money. I would like to emphasise thatin my opinion, this is not a safety issue. It is more an incompatibility issue with the most recent low wattage LED lamps that are now becoming more readily available

By: Molly Bull, Senior Communications Manager, Microsoft Disaster Response
The devastating tornados that recently tore through communities in Texas and Oklahoma reinforce the importance of both preparedness and aiding in relief efforts during times of natural disaster. Today also marks the start of Hurricane Preparedness Week in the U.S., as hurricane seasons starts the first of June. The NOAA, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, predicts 13 to 20 named storms total, between seven and 11 of which will be hurricanes, and three to six of which will become major hurricanes for the 2013 Atlantic hurricane season. The potential for damage is high, and the need for preparation is even more important.
So how should you respond? Planning ahead is critical, and technology can play a role in helping people and communities prepare for, and respond to, natural disasters. Following is some helpful guidance about the technology tools available from Microsoft along with how the company is supporting relief organizations that can help communities and responders effectively plan, prepare and provide support during a natural disaster.
Staying Connected
· Social media and texting is a quick and effective way to communicate to friends and family during times of natural disaster. Today, one in five Americans have used an emergency mobile app in times of a natural disaster.
Over the past several years, apps have been created to support a specific disaster or needs of a specific organization. This past January, Microsoft launched HelpBridge, an app designed to help people connect with one another, and with giving and donation opportunities, during any type of disaster. HelpBridge is a free cross-platform mobile application (Windows, Android, iOS) that provides you with the ability to send out status updates to pre-selected contact groups via email, SMS, and Facebook. Through your phone's GPS capabilities you can also choose whether to share your location in your alerts.
· Accessing the latest information about what is happening on the ground is critical to staying informed, both for responders and the general public. Through the ReadyReach Preparedness Portal you can access the latest information regarding a disaster (maps, areas of concern, how to provide aid) as well as support nonprofit relief agencies. The site helps to make communities more resilient in disaster prevention, preparedness, response, and recovery.
· During a natural disaster, communication networks can be overwhelmed and access to a computer can be difficult. In times of disaster, Skype can help you stay connected via the internet or a mobile device, providing another way to connect when networks get overloaded.
Safeguarding Your Information
· Developing a family emergency plan and keeping it in a safe, secure place is an important part of preparedness. This Microsoft Excel template walks you through the process of creating a comprehensive plan. This plan can be accessed during a disaster by saving it to a cloud drive, like SkyDrive, so you can get to your plan on any computer or smartphone – and even when Internet connectivity fails.
· Create a backup for all your most important documents. You can scan documents – insurance information, birth certificate, passport, medical records and other essential documents – and organize them in a digital notebook, like OneNote, so they can be quickly searched to find information you need. Store this notebook in the cloud so it's available from anywhere in the event that you lose your devices.
· Quick and reliable access to your health and medical information is important to ensure the appropriate medical aid during a natural disaster. HealthVault helps you gather, store, use, and share important health information for you and your family by creating an emergency profile. Here you can manage and track your family's medical contacts, allergies, medication, immunizations, and health conditions. Through the site your medical providers can securely log in and see a full picture of your history and medical needs.
Working Together to Help Those Before and After a Disaster Occurs
Microsoft is committed to partnering with humanitarian relief and disaster response organizations to keep communities safe, informed, and connected before, during and following natural disasters.
· Esri provides thousands of organizations with software designed to help during disaster response management. The software and mapping technology provides first responders and people on the ground with immediate information regarding natural disaster zones, thus allowing citizens and organizations to make informed decisions quickly.
· Aidmatrix provides relief organizations with the ability to broadcast stories and highlight needs during times of disaster through their Local Impact Map and NeedsFeed tools. The NeedsFeed shows communities where the most help is needed and how they can assist those who have been impacted.
· Having a response plan is critical in mitigating the outcome of a natural disaster. The American Red Cross provides extensive preparation guidance and real time status information for various types of natural disasters, including hurricanes. The American Red Cross's Tornado App provides up to date information about tornadoes, what to do immediately afterwards, and location-based National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) alerts, allowing citizens to stay informed with the most up to date status information.
· FEMA has several resources and tools to help prepare for a natural disaster including the ability to get access to real-time hurricane preparedness information through their text-enabled alert system by texting "hurricane" to 43362.
· Skype has partnered with the UNHCR (The UN Refugee Agency) to create a low-bandwidth Skype client that helps relief workers connect with their families when stationed overseas in hardship locations like Darfur or Pakistan. Luxembourg has employed a similar approach for the disaster relief teams that it deploys to major disasters. The teams are armed with an inflatable satellite that, when paired with Skype, can provide Wi-Fi, instant messaging voice and video chat to aid workers on location during natural disasters.

very nice
led search light
This is indeed a very useful post to consider for newbie and give information about natural disaster.
This is great tips in preventing severe damages if a disaster arrives. We all know that we can't really avoid disasters such as hurricane however I think we can still prevent damages within our selves and properties rigt?
Great Post about the awareness of Natural Disaster for the people.
 Water Damage Repair
Natural disasters or hazards like floods, earthquake, volcanic eruptions and storms causes loss to life and property. It eventually causes drastic changes in climate and it always leaves behind some economical damage to a country. Its rightly said that "prevention is better than cure". One should always have some preventive plans against the natural disasters as they help us when we face them. As you said, staying connected with social media, getting updated with all latest happenings, creating a family emergency plan, backup of files and documents and providing information about all the apps like aid matrix, FEMA red cross etc.. Preparing a preventive plan using all these would be of a great help. Including all these point I would like to share one more point that would be of great help and its having insurance of your property and then claiming properly for it. You should make sure that you have insurance for your property because after a disaster you need some financial help to repair your property. That help is provided by insurance companies if you file a proper claim for it. But a common man doesn't know which actions to take further. Insurance companies try to settle the policy holders on minimum price they can. I was reading a blog at http://www.balcombes.ie/2014/03/over-40-years-loss-assessing-experience/ . According to that blog Insurance Companies appoints loss adjusters to deal with policy holders. Loss adjusters are that who monitor the loss and then fixes an amount to compensate the loss. To get full compensation policy holders hires loss assessor who files a proper claim and then deal with lost adjuster. To get more information about it you can read the same http://www.balcombes.ie/2014/ . The blog is very informative for those people who suffered from disaster and they didn't get required compensation from the insurance companies. I hope it will help them.

Chicago Theatre
- $$$
Time Out says
Posted: Sun Feb 2 2014
The Loop's 5,000-seat Chicago Theatre was the opulent French baroque-style flagship of the Balaban and Katz movie-palace chain when it opened in 1921. It's still a beautiful venue (you've probably seen the famous illuminated "Chicago" marquee even if you're from out of town) that's surprisingly cozy for its large size.

Keith Urban
Keith Urban + Vince Gill's We're All For the Hall Concert Nets Nearly $650,000
Thanks to the handiwork of Keith Urban, Vince Gill and a group of country music stars, the Country Music Hall of Fame has a nice-sized donation check coming its way. This year's All For the Hall benefit concert raised close to $650,000 for the museum of country music memories.
I've Never Heard 'The Dance' by Garth Brooks
Tim McGraw Joined by Taylor Swift + Keith Urban for 'Highway Don't Care' at 2013 ACM Awards
Tim McGraw performed 'Highway Don't Care' at the 2013 Academy of Country Music awards on Sunday night (April 7), and a couple of high-powered friends dropped in to help him out.
Keith Urban Rocks 'American Idol' With 'Long Hot Summer'
Keith Urban showed the current crop of contestants how it's done in the big leagues with a high-energy performance of 'Long Hot Summer' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (March 28).
Tim McGraw (Feat. Taylor Swift and Keith Urban), 'Highway Don't Care' – ToC Critic's Pick [Listen]
While Tim McGraw and Taylor Swift's vocals on 'Highway Don't Care' would be enough to make the song a hit and one of the best of 2013, it's Keith Urban's guitar that makes the track one of the best collaborations of the decade -- maybe even ever. Each artist brings his or her best effort to the song from McGraw's 'Two Lanes of Freedom' album. It's a sterling example of what can happen when artists are left to be artists, without the handcuffs of music business politics.
Jimmy Smith Performs Keith Urban's 'Raining on Sunday' on 'American Idol'
25-year-old country singer Jimmy Smith sang the Keith Urban hit 'Raining On Sunday' on 'American Idol' Thursday night (Feb. 21), delivering a performance that left the judges mostly unimpressed.

Keith Urban Loves Nicki Minaj and Mariah Carey, Nicole Kidman Assures
Keith Urban certainly has his hands full with his fellow Season 12 'American Idol' judges, those dueling divas known as Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj. But according to the country superstar's wife, Oscar-winning actress Nicole Kidman, the 'For You' singer is actually very fond of the strong-willed women.

Easy-to-follow video tutorials help you learn software, creative, and business skills.Become a member
If you're one of the many photographers who started out with film photography before transitioning to digital. You can surely appreciate the great effort many photographers would go to in order to reduce the appearance of film grain in their photos, choosing films with the smallest grain structure in order to minimize that effect. Of course now in the digital age I guess we've become more nostalgic about that film grain. And so sometimes you might actually want to add a film grain effect into a photo. Let's take a look at how we can do this in Lightroom.
On the right panel in the Develop module I'll scroll down to the effects section, and that's where we can find the film grain effect. The controls are pretty straightforward. We can increase the Amount slider in order to increase the appearance of film grain. I'll go ahead and zoom the image to a one to one view so that we can better see the effect. I can then adjust the size of that film grain, essentially the grain structure, moving to the left we'll have a smaller grain structure and to the right a larger grain structure. And we can also adjust the roughness, this is sort of like clustering or like contrast in that film grain structure.
I lower setting will have a more even, and smaller structure. Whereas a higher setting will have more irregular, and larger structure. And of course once we've decided on the fine tuned effect that we want in terms of size and roughness, we can fine tune the amount. As you can well appreciate, having too strong an effect can be a bit distracting. I'll zoom out here for example and we can see that the image just looks horribly noisy. But if I tone down the amount using a relatively small amount setting, then we can actually get a nice textured effect in the photo.
I'll go ahead and zoom in again to a one-to-one setting at a 100% zoom. And you can see now we just have an interesting texture, a film grain texture, in that photo. Naturally you might not want to add film grain to every photo. In fact you might want to avoid film grain for most photos, but in some cases I think you'll find that whether for nostalgic purposes or just creating an interesting texture. Adding a film grain effect can actually be very nice for certain photos.

Algorithm for Formation of Loop Admittance Matrix
West Virginia UniversityIEEE Transactions on Power Apparatus and Systems 10/1972; DOI: 10.1109/TPAS.1972.293495
Source: IEEE Xplore
ABSTRACT This paper derives the algorithm for building the loop admittance matrix. The algorithm is found by obtaining the dual of the algorithm for the formation of the bus impedance matrix. An application of the algorithm is presented.
- Citations (1)

- [Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: A mesh approach is developed for the formulation of the network equations in load-flow analysis. It is shown to converge at least as fast as the usual methods using the nodal-impedance matrix. A hybrid approach is then developed, using a combination of an impedance-matrix method and a nodal-admittance-matrix method. The hybrid exhibits very fast convergence, and is the most powerful method encountered by the authors. It needs no optimum acceleration, and the number of iterations appear to be independent of system size and configuration. Finally, an investigation into the choice of an optimum swing/reference bus produced the only reliable criterion known to the authors.Proceedings of The Institution of Electrical Engineers. 01/1968; 115(10).

In his novels Serpent and Blue Gold, #1 bestselling author Clive Cussler introduced a hero for the new millennium: Kurt Austin, the leader of NUMA's Special Assignment Team, and an instant hit with critics and fans. Tulsa World said, "As always, Cussler twists fact and fiction into a rope of tension that will leave you dangling until the last page." Now Kurt Austin returns to tackle his most dangerous mission to date...
In the heart of the old Soviet Union, a mining tycoon is determined to overthrow the Russian government-distracting the U.S. with a man-made natural disaster using a notoriously unstable compound known as "fire ice." Detonation of this compound could create a tidal wave big enough to destroy a major city. But Kurt Austin and his Special Assignment Team are about to make a few waves of their own...
Clive Cussler is the author of many New York Times bestsellers, most recently The Spy and Lost Empire. He lives in Arizona.
Paul Kemprecos has coauthored all five previous NUMA Files novels with Cussler and is a Shamus Award-winning author of six underwater detective thrillers.

iLounger creates iPod coffee table
iLounger Ashley Burrows let us know that he recently finished his iPod inspired "iTable." He said it was a project for his A-level Design Technology course and that it took months to complete. Burrows was kind enough to share the process of building it along with a handful of photos, including his initial illustrated design.
"Basically, I started with a square frame built out of pine (this made the sides) and then glued a piece of MDF on the top," Burrows said. "This gave me a five-sided cube kinda thing. To curve the edges I used a hand plane (yeah, it did take about 30 hours to do the curves) and a shaped block covered in sandpaper."
"This left me with the basic shape," Burrows said. "Then I routed out a rectangle for the screen and cut a rebate for the Perspex to sit into. I then cut the perspex to fit and sit on the rebate. I masked out the apple logo and frosted the rest of the glass so the logo remained clear. I then made a box that fit under the screen and contained several blued LEDs and painted it in a white gloss. This reflected my lights upwards and out through the perspex. I then primed the surfaces and sanded them down to a flat surface. I used auto paint and gave it probably 4 coats and then lacquered it when dry."
"The headphones were made from two separate pieces of pine on the wood turning lathe I then screwed the two together and countersunk the screws," Burrows explained. "I would also have added the wheel and made the other two legs USB connectors if I had more time. Also I would have loved to implement some forum users ideas of 'adding a Mac mini and flat screen' to make it function as a giant iPod. But who knows, in the future with the correct funding I may make a wall mounted jukebox in the shape of an iPod in the way they mentioned."

Building Your Healthcare Team
Check Them Out
Once you have a list of doctors, there are several ways to check on their skills and knowledge, and the quality of care they provide:
- Find out if a consumer or other group has rated doctors in the area where you live. Again you will want to find out how reliable the ratings are.
- Information on doctors in some states is available on the Internet at http://www.docboard.org. This website is run by Administrators in Medicine — a group of State medical board directors.
- The American Board of Medical Specialties (1-800-733-2267) can tell you if the doctor is board certified. "Certified" means that the doctor has completed a training program in a specialty and has passed an exam (board) to assess his or her knowledge, skills, and experience to provide quality patient care in that specialty. Primary care doctors also may be certified as specialists. You can also check the website at www.certifacts.org. (While board certification is a good measure of a doctor's knowledge, it is possible to receive quality care from doctors who are not board certified.)
- Call the American Medical Association (AMA) at (312) 464-5000 for information on training, specialties, and board certification about many licensed doctors in the United States. This information also can be found in "Physician Select" at AMA's website: https://apps.ama-assn.org/doctorfinder/home.jsp.
- Visit the website for the American Association of Clinical Endocrinologists (http://www.aace.com) to see if a doctor is an AACE members. AACE members are physicians with special education, training and interest in the practice of clinical endocrinology.
- The American Diabetes Association's Newly Diagnoses information leads you to a physician search directory where you can find doctors who have met ADA standards of diabetes care. Go to http://recognition.ncqa.org/ to search.
Interview Them Over the Phone
After you pick two or three doctors, call their offices. The office staff can give you information about the doctor's education and training. They can also tell you about office policies, what insurance the office takes, if they file the insurance claims for you, what types of payment they accept, and to what hospitals the doctor sends patients.
Some questions you might want to ask are:
- What type of health insurance does the office take?
- Where is the doctor's office located? Is there parking?
- How long is the usual office visit?
- Is the doctor part of a group practice? If the doctor is part of a group, you may want to find out who the other doctors are and their specialties.
- Who sees patients if the doctor is out of town or not available?
- Can I get lab work or x-rays done in the office or nearby?
- Is the doctor board certified? Board-certified doctors have extra training and pass special exams after medical school to become specialists in a field of medicine such as family practice, internal medicine, or geriatrics.

There are a lot of home control apps available in iTunes and the Android Market. However, one self-proclaimed DIYer took it upon himself to do a little something different, using a Windows 7 phone.
The video below is completely silent until the musical portion of the program. That's probably just as well, since it also appears to be French. However, there are English subtitles to tell us this app can display temperature and power consumption, control appliances and lighting, and access security cameras.
Those lighting features are particularly interesting. Besides flipping switches, this app adds a bit of ambiance, via "millions of colors" and the option to synchronize with music sources. It can even flip between AV sources and control things such as the channel, volume, and more.
Julien Schapmen of Touch Xperience published the video. He didn't divulge too many of his secrets, such as what equipment he used. However, his Facebook page says that his 3G phone communicates with a home server controlling an X10 setup, as well as "an USB-UIRT, amBX and programmable LED systems for ambient lighting."
The end result cost him €400 (about $545 U.S.) "and a lot of programming work!" Take a peek below and then shoot over to his website to sample more of his work.Follow Electronic House on Facebook and Twitter.

Rufus Wainwright
See also: Exclusive: Rufus Wainwright On His New Album, "I've Done That Whole Ponderous, Psuedo-Genius Thing"
Better than: ...the ham elevator next door at UMAMIcatessen
At the Orpheum last night, Rufus Wainwright opened his show by beginning at the end. "Candles," which closes his new Out of the Game album, has a reverential, hymnal feel and Wainwright performed the song acapella, backed up with his singers' choral harmonies. It was a quiet but powerful invocation and largely set the tone for the evening: a graceful, relaxed performance punctuated by occasional spikes in emotion and energy.
Given that 1) Wainwright might be the greatest baroque pop star of his generation, 2) he recorded an entire tribute album to Judy Garland and 3) he showed up last night in gold lamé pants, a tuxedo jacket and red slippers, you'd be forgiven for thinking the night would be more showy or mawkish. However, Out of the Game lends itself to neither; Wainwright has described it as his most "pop" album which would make sense if the year were 1977 since the main pop styles he engages seem largely drawn from 1970s easy-listening radio.
For example, early in the show, Wainwright performed "Barbara," "Welcome to the Ball," and "Song of You," all of which play with the kind of stylish, ornamental pop sound of the Electric Light Orchestra or Supertramp. Elsewhere, songs like the title track and "Jericho" bear the subtle folk/country twangs of Fleetwood Mac or the Eagles. It was all quiet pleasant and Wainwright's voice was in top form, but especially in the first third of the show, the pacing and affect were both slow and restrained.
It might have veered toward plodding if not for Wainwright's ad libs and crowd banter. Given that earlier in his career he lived in L.A. for several years, he seemed genuinely affectionate for the city, though he couldn't help but toss a few easy jabs our way. At one point, he looked down at the Orpheum stage, noticing marks in the floor and joked they must have been left by "all those Hollywood hopefuls in their heels." He also shouted out Silver Lake's Gwen Stefani for starring in his first video ("April Fools") before playing that song. Oddly, however, his second selection of the night, "Rashida," was written for Parks and Recreation actress Rashida Jones, but this went unmentioned.
