HAMBURG, NY – In an emotionally and physically charged first round of AMCC playoffs, the Hilbert College men's basketball team surged past cross-town rival D'Youville College 92-72 on February 21. This is the third time in the 2011-2012 season that the Hawks faced the Spartans, each claiming a victory before heading into tonight's deciding game. The win for the Hawks (15-11) marks the fourth time the men of Hilbert have advanced to the AMCC semi-finals. In a record-breaking year for Hilbert, 15 wins is the most by any Hilbert team ever since joining the AMCC.
Hilbert's Chris Parrott {in photo to right} started off the scoring for the game with a jumper just seconds after the tip-off. Both teams would battle back-and-forth until a tip-in by D'Youville's Patrick Coyle tied the game up at 2-2 early in the first half. Dan McFarland answered right back for the Hawks, and they would hold onto the lead for the remainder of the game.
Hilbert shot the lights out, shooting 56.5% from the floor for the game and commanded the glass, out-rebounding the Spartans 45-33. The Hawks also recorded 23 assists as a team, with CJ Hodge leading with seven.
Four Hawks finished in double digits, with Parrott also recording a double-double having 19 points and 11 rebounds. McFarland finished the game with 19 points and nine rebounds and Jordan VanDunk also tallied 19 points. Anthony Hodge chipped in with 16 points and four assists.
D'Youville also massed a balance scoring attack out of their roster, with Jeff Curry leading all scorers with 25 points, and Raysean Johnson following with 24 points and seven rebounds. Patrick Coyle added a double-double of his own, amassing 11 points and 13 rebounds and four blocks (ranked 2nd nationally in blocks per game).
Hilbert College will continue on in AMCC play, when they will travel to Medaille on Friday, February 24 to play the number one seeded Mavericks (23-2, 17-1) at 5:30pm. The Hawks have faced the Mavericks twice already this season, losing both times (85-60, 80-63).
In the other semifinal game (8pm) number three seeded Penn State Behrend (a 65-39 winner over Bradford tonight) will take on the number two seeded La Roche College. The championship game is set to be played on Saturday, February 25 at 3pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Chicken Souvlaki Salad
Continuing with the themes of both salads and grilling is this chicken souvlaki salad that was inspired by Gina's recent Mediterranean chicken kebab salad . I am a big fan of all kinds of skewered and grilled meats from around the world but Greek souvlaki has to be one of my favourites! There is just something irresistible about char grilled meat on a stick and I knew that you could not go wrong turning it into a nice light summer meal by placing some in a salad. The first thing that I did was dust off my trusty chicken souvlaki recipe which calls for marinating the chicken in a garlic, lemon, yogurt and oregano
mixture before grilling it to impart it with a ton of flavour. The salad is a simple one consisting of a base of lettuce, tomato, cucumber and red onions along with some Mediterranean flavours including kalamata olives, crumbled feta and a tzatziki dressing.
Tzatziki is a thick, creamy and garlicky sauce with a base of yogurt and shredded cucumber. Normally I would use Greek style yogurt or strained regular yogurt to ensure that the tzatziki was nice and thick but since I was going to use this as a dressing I went with just plain old regular yogurt so that it would have a more liquid consistency.
Just look at all of that wonderful grilled meat!
Of course this salad also goes well served in a pita.

Default branch: MAIN
Current tag: DragonFly_Snap13Sep2004
Device layer rollup commit. * cdevsw_add() is now required. cdevsw_add() and cdevsw_remove() may specify a mask/match indicating the range of supported minor numbers. Multiple cdevsw_add()'s using the same major number, but distinctly different ranges, may be issued. All devices that failed to call cdevsw_add() before now do. * cdevsw_remove() now automatically marks all devices within its supported range as being destroyed. * vnode->v_rdev is no longer resolved when the vnode is created. Instead, only v_udev (a newly added field) is resolved. v_rdev is resolved when the vnode is opened and cleared on the last close. * A great deal of code was making rather dubious assumptions with regards to the validity of devices associated with vnodes, primarily due to the persistence of a device structure due to being indexed by (major, minor) instead of by (cdevsw, major, minor). In particular, if you run a program which connects to a USB device and then you pull the USB device and plug it back in, the vnode subsystem will continue to believe that the device is open when, in fact, it isn't (because it was destroyed and recreated). In particular, note that all the VFS mount procedures now check devices via v_udev instead of v_rdev prior to calling VOP_OPEN(), since v_rdev is NULL prior to the first open. * The disk layer's device interaction has been rewritten. The disk layer (i.e. the slice and disklabel management layer) no longer overloads its data onto the device structure representing the underlying physical disk. Instead, the disk layer uses the new cdevsw_add() functionality to register its own cdevsw using the underlying device's major number, and simply does NOT register the underlying device's cdevsw. No confusion is created because the device hash is now based on (cdevsw,major,minor) rather then (major,minor). NOTE: This also means that underlying raw disk devices may use the entire device minor number instead of having to reserve the bits used by the disk layer, and also means that can we (theoretically) stack a fully disklabel-supported 'disk' on top of any block device. * The new reference counting scheme prevents this by associating a device with a cdevsw and disconnecting the device from its cdevsw when the cdevsw is removed. Additionally, all udev2dev() lookups run through the cdevsw mask/match and only successfully find devices still associated with an active cdevsw. * Major work on MFS: MFS no longer shortcuts vnode and device creation. It now creates a real vnode and a real device and implements real open and close VOPs. Additionally, due to the disk layer changes, MFS is no longer limited to 255 mounts. The new limit is 16 million. Since MFS creates a real device node, mount_mfs will now create a real /dev/mfs<PID> device that can be read from userland (e.g. so you can dump an MFS filesystem). * BUF AND DEVICE STRATEGY changes. The struct buf contains a b_dev field. In order to properly handle stacked devices we now require that the b_dev field be initialized before the device strategy routine is called. This required some additional work in various VFS implementations. To enforce this requirement, biodone() now sets b_dev to NODEV. The new disk layer will adjust b_dev before forwarding a request to the actual physical device. * A bug in the ISO CD boot sequence which resulted in a panic has been fixed. Testing by: lots of people, but David Rhodus found the most aggregious bugs.

The X Factor
Who Is Diamond White? Eliminated X Factor 2012 Contestant Bio
UPDATE: Diamond was eliminated on December 6, 2012.
Age: 13
Hometown: Los Angeles via Detroit and Chicago
Audition Song: "It's a Man's Man's World"
Diamond White is superbly talented, extremely adorable, and plenty experienced — despite her young age. But — does she have the "X Factor"? — is the question at hand. It looks like we'll have time to find out the answer during this season of the talent competition! Diamond has made it into the Top 6 — despite already having been eliminated!
Born and raised in the Detroit area, Diamond has had plenty of opportunities to (wait for it) shine. When she was only eight years old, she starred in a production of "The Color Purple." Unlike the plays most eight year olds are in, though, this one was good. The show was based in Chicago and involved a national tour. Fun fact: Diamond didn't know she needed sheet music for the audition, so she just sang a cappella. No big deal.
She also appeared on that benchmark of stardom, The Maury Povich Show, on an episode celebrating talented children. So, there's that.
One reason for her success? She didn't have to do it alone. When she was younger, she signed with One Source Talent and is now with a branch of Ford Models. With her training and mad skills, we are betting on Diamond.

When Founders Recruit Friends and Family as Investors
In his new book, The Founder's Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup, HBS Associate Professor Noam Wasserman tells readers how to anticipate, avoid, and, if necessary, recover from the landmines that can destroy a nascent company before it has the chance to thrive. In this excerpt, he discusses the pros and cons of recruiting friends and family members as investors.
Editor's note: Seasoned entrepreneurs know that a great idea for a new company is no guarantee of a successful exit. Startups fail more often than not, largely due to hubris-fueled mistakes by an inexperienced founding team. Alas, the road to riches is fraught with potential self-induced peril.
In his new book, The Founder's Dilemmas: Anticipating and Avoiding the Pitfalls That Can Sink a Startup, Harvard Business School Associate Professor Noam Wasserman tells readers how to anticipate, avoid, and, if necessary, recover from the landmines that can destroy a nascent company before it has the chance to thrive.
Drawing on more than a decade of researching smashing successes and painful failures alike, Wasserman walks readers through the dilemmas that plague and challenge most new entrepreneurs, starting with pre-founding career dilemmas: Is this the right time to start my company? Do I have enough career experience? (About 5 percent of students at HBS decide to leap into entrepreneurship immediately upon completing the MBA program, but up to 50 percent will have founded a company within a decade of graduation, according to Wasserman, who teaches in the school's Entrepreneurial Management division. His second-year elective course, Founder's Dilemmas, was a building block for the book. Last spring, HBS offered four sections of the course to 272 students; it was so popular that another 170 students were wait-listed.)
Wasserman also discusses founding team dilemmas in the book: Should I launch the company solo or with cofounders? Who should my cofounders be—friends, relatives, prior coworkers, strangers? Which role should each of us take? How should we divide equity? He goes on to delve into the myriad issues that extend beyond the founding team as the company starts to grow: What types of hiring challenges will I face? Which investors should I try to target at my company's various stages of growth—and what challenges will they introduce? Will I be replaced as CEO at some point, and, if so, will I maintain a role at the company or exit gracefully?
Released last month, the book has received rave reviews. Publisher's Weekly called it a "seminal work on the startup phase of the entrepreneurial venture � captivating," and Dharmesh Shah at OnStartups.com called it "the definitive book on the topic." ("If you are a founder or thinking about becoming one, you should read this book," Shah wrote.) Jeff Bussgang, a general partner at the early-stage venture capital firm Flybridge Capital Partners, blogged, "Rather than having [founding] decisions happen by chance, Wasserman's book is a towering guide to making these decisions thoughtfully and purposefully. Every founder should read it—and take the time to digest its rich data and lessons."
In this excerpt from Chapter 9, Wasserman discusses the advantages and disadvantages of a common but risky practice among company founders: recruiting friends and family members as potential investors.
To the extent that founders tend to be very confident in their startup's prospects, they may even be more inclined to take money from friends and family, happily imagining those close to them sharing in the startup's future success. One founder-CEO, acknowledging that complete certainty is almost never attained, said, "If you know that you won't lose their money, you should take it." In fact, whether a founder is willing to risk taking money from friends or family may be a good indicator of whether or not that founder has laid a solid groundwork for success. One founder-CEO said that "if you think there is a real possibility that you might lose their investment, maybe you haven't addressed all the risks" and should take the hint to think again and try harder to reduce them.
However, many other founders see friends and family as, at best, a last resort. Brian Scudamore was uncomfortable with the idea of taking money from relatives, even though at one point his startup was about to fold for lack of cash. He explained, "My dad could have given me the money. However, I didn't want him to worry that things weren't going well … I wanted to show dad that I could do it myself, even if that meant stretching things a bit too far. Also, taking money from him would cause problems if things went sour."
Brian's last point worries many other founders and investors. Just as cofounding with friends and family creates the Playing-with- Fire Gap discussed in Chapter 4, taking money from friends and family can put important—even crucial—relationships at risk and, if things go badly, leave them in ruins. Founders who are confident in their startups' prospects and who are passionate about their ideas often discount the possibility that the startup could fail, but founders and investors who have already been burned by playing with fire take a very different view. One experienced advisor of startups observed, "If you go into business with money from friends and family, then you will either lose the business or lose your family, and have a very good chance of losing both."
A serial entrepreneur explained, "Out of principle, I do not include family in business/financial transactions or pursuits. The fact is, money stands to be the very thing that can dissolve the strongest of relationships. Added to the prospect of 'family drama' (of which everyone seems to have plenty), it's not worth it."
One way around this can be to treat an investment from a friend or relative as a gift rather than an investment; that is, with no particular expectation of being paid back. As one founder put it, "To avoid any problems, just ask them to close their eyes and donate money to you." Speaking from the other side, one investor said about investing in a startup founded by a friend or relative, "I sometimes do it, but I regard it as a gift, not an investment."
In addition to introducing playing-with-fire problems, taking money from friends and family may send a negative signal about the startup's prospects, especially if the startup is beyond the early launching stage. One serial entrepreneur observed that founders who fail to raise capital from professional investors and then have to raise from friends and family should think twice about the startup: "If you can't convince someone more objective than your friends and family to invest in you, there's probably a flaw with your business, which will result in them losing their money and you feeling terrible. Even if you have a dozen rich uncles, I would suggest you find someone outside that circle who believes in you and your idea."
An experienced investor said, "It's a shame to lose friends or family because they invested their savings in the business and lost it all. It becomes a tragedy when the business concept was flawed from the beginning … Why do people take such a risk when there's plenty of other money out there? Because [friends-and-family] money is too easy to obtain, which encourages people to start marginal businesses. Beyond that, friends and family do little diligence, have no real objective judgment, and can't advise/prevent you against doing something completely stupid."
Another experienced VC suggests that some founders may simply not know what their funding options really are: "The reason people usually go to [family and friends] is that they don't have other choices—or more likely, they don't know they have other choices."
Pulling together these considerations, one serial entrepreneur offered this rule of thumb: "If your family comes from a business background and are well-informed about finances and they know to keep business and friendship strictly apart, you should utilize them. However, there are clearly too many ifs, ands, or buts in this scenario, so founders would be well advised to search for financing in other places."
Just as cofounding with friends and family should be accompanied by carefully constructed firewalls and explicit discussions about worst-case scenarios, so too should any financing from friends and family, or else founders should resist the temptation to take such money.
"Burning the Boats": Productive Motivation or "Entrepreneurial Suicide"?
Taking money from friends and family may not only make a startup possible, but also profoundly affect how—and even why—the founders try to grow or exit their businesses. For instance, taking such money may enable founders to persist through the scary drops of the entrepreneurial roller coaster, not simply because they have money with which to do so but because they don't dare give up.
Scott Cook, the founder-CEO of personal-finance software company Intuit, tried to avoid raising capital from friends and family. But 25 failed pitches to professional investors later, he gave in and borrowed from his parents' retirement savings and from his cofounder's friends. Altogether, he "spent about $350,000 on Intuit, a sum pieced together from life savings, home-equity credit, credit cards, and loans from his father." During one particularly difficult period, he said, "What kept me going was just fear that I didn't know how I'd ever pay back the money."
Similarly, Tim Westergren, founder of Pandora Radio, persisted with his startup long after others might have called it quits, in large part because he could not face the idea of losing the money invested by his cofounders' friends or reneging on the $1 million in salary deferrals the company owed its employees, most of them personal friends of the founders. As Tim explained, "I've brought everyone into it and can't turn back. My persistence might look like a virtue, but I have to put myself through this because of all the people I've involved who I have ties to."
Indeed, objective observers might question whether such persistence is virtue or vice, skewing founders' incentives and possibly leading them to throw away years of their lives, or to throw good money after bad. Some founders refer to taking money from friends and family as "burning the boats," referring to the legend of the Spanish conquistador Hernando Cortez, who, after arriving in South America with 700 men seeking to conquer the continent for Spain, ordered them to burn their boats so they could not even think of retreat.
One founder said, "Once the money is in, a whole new dynamic is involved. With the relationship at risk, the entrepreneur (the good ones anyway) will move heaven and earth to not lose the investment.
And moving heaven and earth is often what it takes."
An experienced startup advisor takes a more negative view, comparing "burning the boats" to "entrepreneurial suicide." He explains, "If one sets oneself up in situations where you must 'succeed or die,' then your fundamental motivation must be called into question … Instead of taking prudent risks to maximize your chance for succeeding, you live constantly on the edge in a world of 'possible success.' If this is the case, then the business is your 'addiction' that you're asking your friends and family to support. Further, founders and entrepreneurs should have a 'safe haven' if they are to have any hope to survive the rigors of the startup company lifestyle. Where do you go for physical/psychic nourishment and comfort when the world is crashing in on you? Family serves this purpose often and best. 'Burning your boats' undermines this support structure and thus is setting oneself up for failure."
For other founders, taking money from friends and family may make them more risk-averse than they might otherwise have been, which can result in a lower exit value. An experienced investor explained, "When an entrepreneur has all of their own personal wealth or their family's wealth tied up in a deal, they are more likely to be risk-averse and more likely to sell out at a smaller number."
Founders who prefer a higher-probability small exit to a lower-probability large exit would see this as a good thing. Although the effect of taking money from friends and family will differ depending on the founders involved and the specifics of the situation, friends-and-family investors introduce a more emotional element to the business as it moves forward, regardless of whether that heighted emotion is beneficial or detrimental to the founder and the startup.

There is also that moral restriction sometimes to factor in the suggestions given by near & dear into your decisions, and really nothing wrong with it as long as everything is hunky-dory and the ship tides the waves gracefully......but just if things just don't fashion up the way you expected, that is precisely when you tend to revisit decisions and analyze the rational behind making those decisions, and in such a scenario, it better be just your very own decisions alone!

It is prudent to not only hope for the best but also be prepared for the worst. In no case would we like to lose our relatives and friends just because we lose money. Shakespeare aptly remarked " Never a borrower or a lender be, for a loan oft loses itself and the friend!" This, however, is a dark thought as it starts from failure.....a likely reality nevertheless. A project moves towards success with solid groundwork and consideration of all the risks likely to be faced advance planning for mitigation of which (if these come up) has to be there. Much depends on the experience/expertise of the promoters. Once this is established investment sources other than relatives and friends can be successfully tapped. The other important ongoing rule is to always plan well and correctly. Excellent execution of a bad plan is recipe for disaster. Hence only proper processes can lead to success and source of finance will then be immaterial for everyone welcomes to be associated with a successful organization.

The book is great after reading the except ... But in as much as they are benefits in having Friends and Family as Investors when starting a new business. I must say an entrepreneur should carefully select those friends and relatives of like mind who will not compromise standards or short change the business interest. Join me@ www.NaijaBizCom.com

Weather or not a potential idea is going to succeed, the authors of that idea usually have an idea of the risks they are willing to take. It is common in other cultures for family and friends to collectively take this risks and loose, only to take another one. In US where individuality is regarded high and you are lucky to have family, least of all friends that can lend you money. An entrepreneur will be left very lonely to have lost not only the investment but family and friends. An added element of stress can only hurt unless that investment was gifted.

So nice to seek out anyone with some original ideas on this subject. Really thank you for starting this up. Wonderful points altogether, you simply won a brand new reader.

Financing, partnership and or collaboration are an integral parts of most businesses, regardless of the growth stage of the business. The challenges involve in starting a business and managing a start up are such that, business wisdom will often require some form of formal or informal collaboration with others, either family, friends or others. Similar, as businesses or companies grow, the challenges that come with that also require some form of business related collaboration with either friends or family. The ability to understand and maintain a dividing line between THE business and family alongside friends is be essential and again being transparent in the whole thing will massively reduce or eliminate complications.

For the second straight year, Seth Cox of TSHQ.co will be providing exclusive NFL Draft coverage for ArizonaSports.com. Seth will focus on the needs for the Arizona Cardinals and the prospects that fit into the Cards' scheme. He'll also be providing full Cardinals mock drafts, first round mocks for the rest of the NFL and keep an eye on draft prospects from ASU and Arizona.
There's not much question in terms of what the Arizona Cardinals needs are heading into the 2014 offseason.
Why? Well, general manager Steve Keim outlined them nicely on Newsmakers Week with Doug and Wolf on Arizona Sports 98.7 FM.
"We want to get longer and more athletic at safety," Keim explained to the guys, "We want to do some things that offset the tight ends that we have to face every week."
That obviously isn't coming from the players on the roster right now.
While the Cardinals, fans and pundits all loved what Tyrann Mathieu did in his rookie season, only about 15% of his snaps came from a true free safety position.
Add to that the fact that Mathieu is the definition of undersized at the position, and you can see why the Cardinals could be looking to get bigger help on the back end -- they want need someone who can cover tight ends.
There is plenty of help in that realm in free agency and the first three rounds of the NFL Draft, but the positions of need outlined by Keim didn't stop there.
Keim continued on with Doug and Wolf, "We want to get physical on both sides of the line, we've talked about our never ending challenge of trying to improve our offensive line and that's something that we'll focus on this off season."
The question becomes where do they need to improve on the offensive line?
The easy answer is obviously left tackle, but drafting at 20 won't lend itself to having a bevy of choices for "franchise" left tackles. Hell, drafting at seven last year was too low, but the numbers and tape tell a story of needed upgrades everywhere.
When graded amongst their peers, only left guard Daryn Colledge finished in the top half, 39th out of 81 using the 25 percent snaps played barrier, and Lyle Sendlein was the next closest, grading out as the 18th-best center out of 35 qualifiers.
The sad part is their combined salary next year is over $11 million, and is nearly $7 million in dead money against the cap.
The Cardinals will have AT LEAST one new starter on the offensive line, as Jonathan Cooper, health willing, will be penciled in at LG, but there are four other spots along the offensive line that you can say need upgraded.
The draft offers interesting names at right tackle, guard and center, but the question remains, is there an answer at the left tackle position in the draft? Well, at least one that will be available when the Cardinals make their selection.
The interesting part becomes the comment about the defensive line, as Calais Campbell has become the second best player at his position in the NFL and Darnell Dockett seemed to find his game in the back half of the season.
Dockett's issue is his salary doesn't quite meet with his production any longer, which is understandable for a guy at Dockett's age that has missed only two games in his career. But there are young, explosive players in the draft that could likely come in and give you the same production as Dockett at a fraction of the price.
At nose tackle, the Cardinals have Dan Williams in a contract year and Alameda Ta'amu coming off an ACL tear, so adding depth and young talent wouldn't be the worst thing in the world.
The interesting one, and the least surprising with Bruce Arians at head coach, is the desire to add speed at the wide receiver position, as well as a pass rusher.
Arians likely has his eyes on a specific group of players. last year the Cardinals allegedly had those eyes on Marquise Goodwin but he didn't make it to round four, and that caused the Cardinals to take a chance on Ryan Swope. That didn't work, so it's back to the drawing board to find that speed receiver.
While most, if not all of the fans would raise an eyebrow if the Cardinals went wide receiver in the first round again, there are receivers throughout the draft that will fill the void of a true deep threat on the roster.
Pass rusher is a bit different, and much more understandable.
While the Cardinals drafted Alex Okafor, have Sam Acho and Lorenzo Alexander coming back from injury and have John Abraham coming off an 11.5-sack, Pro Bowl-type year, he is going to be 36 when the season starts. Abraham had all of his sacks in seven games, while producing a half a sack in the last three games of the season.
The 2014 pass rusher class is an intriguing one.
Outside of South Carolina's Jadeveon Clowney and Buffalo's Khalil Mack, there isn't much of a "sure thing".
UCLA's Anthony Barr was the hottest name in the draft circles coming into the season, but there wasn't much growth in his second season at linebacker.
BYU's Kyle Van Noy, Stanford's Trent Murphy and Carl Bradford of Arizona State all played 3-4 outside linebacker in college, but there are questions whether their games translate to being able to produce the same kind of pass rushing results that they did in college.
The two names to look at and names that will be bandied about amongst mock drafters, for possible fits at the 20th pick will be Auburn's Dee Ford and Georgia Tech's Jeremiah Attaochu.
Ford is the more compact and athletic pass rusher, and displayed that at the Senior Bowl, where he continually beat the offensive tackles like a drum rep after rep, turning heads.
Attaochu was the complete opposite, as he was almost hidden during Senior Bowl week and lined up all over the defensive side of the ball.
Ranking the needs based off what Keim said the Cardinals are looking for:
1. Offensive line - The Cardinals need help across the entire offensive line, and while Jonathan Cooper is coming back, there are still four other positions that could be upgraded as well.
2. Pass rusher - While the Cardinals have a plethora of outside linebackers, they lack a true, consistent pass rushing threat off the edge that will make everyone's job easier. This draft is full of that type of player.
3. Safety - Free Agency and the draft will give the Cardinals the option to find the long, athletic safety they are looking for.
4. Defensive line - While adding depth and young talent in the later rounds would be ideal, if the Cardinals want to, there will be some very intriguing options on day one and two.
5. Wide receiver - HELLO, SPEED!

Go to Bryan Caraway denies Bellator fighter's drug accusation, regrets strong anti-marijuana stance - MMA Fighting for the full article.Bellator's Michelle Ould became the latest fighter to take a jab at Bryan Caraway this week.
Hours after the UFC announced it had suspended Nathan Diaz on Thursday for using a homophobic slur to describe Caraway, Ould, a 7-3 women's MMA veteran, insinuated on Twitter that Caraway, who spoke out against marijuana following Pat Healy's suspension earlier this week, was being a hypocrite because he used to sell performance-enhancing drugs.
"Dude use[d] to sell my ex roommate PED's - but he hates weed -go figure," she wrote.
Caraway, when reached by MMAFighting.com, vehemently denied the allegation.
"It's complete BS," he said. "I don't like any drugs."

I won't be interested in any smart watch until it's a standalone device, not just a 2nd screen or remote control for a pad or smart phone. And even then I won't get one, because I already have an iPad and iPhone. And I already have a pretty nice watch. My "interest" will be from a technical and marketing standpoint only.
Samsung Galaxy Gear ad looks awfully familiar
When you watch Samsung's first ad for its new Galaxy Gear smartwatch, it might look a little familiar. Samsung has spliced together clips of characters from several movies and TV shows, including Dick Tracy, Knight Rider, and the Power Rangers, using communication devices worn on their wrists. This is very similar to Apple's "Hello" advertisement for the iPhone back in 2007:
So what do you think? Is this a tasteful tip of the hat, or a shameless ripoff? Let us know below in the comments.

Samsung Galaxy Gear ad looks awfully familiar
If it doesn't connect to your phone though, it isn't a smartwatch. It's either a watch or a phone. The latter of which will require a cellular plan, so isn't the middle ground we're seeing at the moment perhaps a decent enough idea?
I *HATE* to defend Samsung, but the ads really aren't *that* similar. Moreover, the original Apple ad wasn't exactly all that "original" to begin with.
Yep. I read about that earlier too.
So to answer the article, it is a shameless rip of a shameless rip.
Actually Samsung's is NOT a shameless ripoff of Apple's shameless ripoff. The commercials above have nothing to do with each other except for splicing together scenes from various media. Samsung is showing that we have reached the future that the past has dreamed of for so long. Apple was just saying they make phones now... or something.
Yeah, they're different but both follow the style from Telephones.
I think it's a shameless rip.

In all seriousness, the only reason I want a smart watch is so I can pretend to be a Power Ranger. Clearly Samsung knows who it is marketing too.
That said, I would only buy an Apple developed "watch" because I live in their Eco system.
I don't mind if it's only a peripheral to other Apple devices. I'd love for it to be a notification centre with voice activated actionable responses, or a hands free devices for talking on the phone, or to show turn by turn maps. Better than walking around with my phone or tablet in front of me and a lot harder to snatch and run away with.

Not a ripoff at all. Samsung's is so much more creative, actually USING devices it's "similar" to. It shows how the future we've all been waiting for is (kind of) here. Apple's ad was stupid. Why show a bunch of people using old phones, then show you're amazing piece of revolutionary technology for all of a half second, and not even show how cool it is. They were simply being celebrity whores, and hoping we'd all be too. Dumb.
Unfortunately, I doubt Samsung's device will be anything we were hoping it would be.
But if we're talking originality, Motorola did a variation of it first here:
Samsung would be a hell of a company if they'd just quit obsessing over Apple. They're like an ex-girlfriend who won't take a hint. Or an ex-girlfriend who got the hint, but just wants to make your life hell because of what you did to her.
Meh. I give Samsung a thumbs up for having a little fun at the risk of being caught trying to be clever. Are the commercials similar? Sure, but there's no harm and no foul there. "Hello" is Apple's bit for sure, so I guess Samsung's thing is "I'll be right there".

Love it, I own the iPhone 5S, great device, also had the iPhone 5. My first two Apple devices and can't put it down, saying that I am also a very long time Android hacker from the G1, Nexus 1 days to all the rescent top of the line devices. Just bought the Note 3 in black and must say it is the most powerful and fastest Smartphone made today. This phone is an absolute beast. I build Custom Homes in the Boston area and the idea of the new Gear to go along with the Note 3 is exciting. The Note 3 stays in my truck glove box and I can use the Gear on vibrate to get my messages in a very loud jobsite. Love the ad, I think they did a great job. These two devices working together is just what I need for retrieving my messages and answering phone calls. There is so much use for this watch in my type of work envirement. Great job Samsung.
I am in a public place now, and there are various ages, and only one out of the twenty five people are wearing a watch. I have not worn one in years. I do carry a mechanical pocket watch. No battery to replace. It is a great idea, but will it be popular enough to make, or a passing fad?
Please allow me to make a comment ...
Samsung, STOP COPYING APPLE. You cannot win this ... NEVER EVER! You are also going to lose millions, if not billions, Apple fans who don't even want to buy your other products! Keep messing up and in no time back to --> "http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:삼성상회.jpg"
I'm gonna have to go with No on this one. The ads have two different ideas behind them. The iPhone ad is "hello" across the board emphasizing that the iPhone can answer calls and such. The Samsung ad is displaying something that we only have seen in movies/fictional things. Super heroes/ Predator/ Spy agents / hell - even the Flintstones. I think the ad is decent because all the cool things we wanted as a kid, specifically the watch, we can now have it. With that being said, I won't be buying one since I haven't worn a watch is probably 10 years and don't plan on starting now.
It is no where near as good. The music is all wrong and the editing is totally amateur; poorly timed. If they did set out to copy Apple's commercial, they failed.
Who is the blonde puppet character at the 39 second mark? Anyone know?
I don't see it as a rip off. I understand that they both clip together a history of there respective devices, but the iPhone commercial was showing a bunch off old phones that actually existed while Samsung was showing clips from movies and TV shows using futuristic devices that at the time were just that...futuristic. I would also have to say that that Samsung commercial is done much better than the older Apple iPhone commercial.

Thousands of children age
out of the foster care system every year, and the statistics related to where
many of them wind up are appalling. Many become homeless, are unable to find
employment, do not finish school, become incarcerated or turn to alcohol and
drugs. Diane Sancilio, Regional Director of Foster Care and Community Programs
for Maryland, Virginia, DC and New Jersey, is very concerned about these
statistics, and she organizes training for foster teens who are served by the
KidsPeace offices in DC and MD. KidsPeace has offered the Money Club to teen
foster kids in the area for three years, teaching them about saving and
investing and helping others and managing their income. This year, however, the
program will be expanded to contain many more hands-on activities and life
skills training. This expansion is thanks to two amazing young women.
As a member of the Maryland
Association of Resources for Family and Youth (MARFY), Diane met Shalita O'Neale
and Shantel Randolph, two former foster children who are on a mission to help
foster children learn the skills they need too live independently. Shalita is
the founder of Maryland Foster Youth Resource Center (MFYRC), a nonprofit that
was funded by a grant from MARFY, Casey and DHR to provide training and
resources for older foster kids. She has a MSW that she wants to use to help
kids in the system today and in the future. "There are so many scholarships and
grants and opportunities for foster kids, but most are not known. I want to get
the word out to as many foster kids as possible and give them the tools to
continue their educations or find good jobs after leaving the system," Shalita
Shantel established a youth
advocacy group (FYI) with a community fellowship, working with Baltimore kids
in the foster care system. She does public speaking and testifies about foster
care issues and performs outreach to the community. When she met Shalita, she
realized that her activities were a perfect fit with MFYRC and joined the
organization to continue her advocacy efforts.
When Diane learned that
MFYRC needed office space, she offered them an office in the KidsPeace
Baltimore suite in exchange for their running an independent living skills
training program to KidsPeace foster teens. The result is an exciting program
that will prepare these foster teens for life on their own.
Living/Prep for Success
Shalita and Shantel have
ambitious plans for the class that will begin in September. There will be an
evening class twice a month followed by a Saturday field trip to practice what
has been learned. Guest speakers will present to the class on such topics as
banking, buying or renting living space, applying and interviewing for a job or
college, Investment, purchasing and insuring a vehicle, budgeting and social
skills that are necessary for adult life.
Shalita explains that life
in foster care often does not prepare youth for these kinds of activities. "If
a youth has had many foster placements or lives in a youth house, there is no
opportunity to learn how to do these things." One Saturday, program
participants will visit banks to open accounts, learn how to write checks and
practice filling out applications for loans. The following week may find them
looking at vacant apartments and filling out applications and providing
references to lease living space. They will apply for jobs and go through
interviews another Saturday, and see what is involved in purchasing a car and
insurance another.
According to Shantel, "We
will also cover health issues and mental wellness, as well as social skills
that they may not have learned while in the system." They will also visit vital
statistics offices to learn how to obtain important documents and meet with
college admissions counselors to learn about higher education options. The
original Money Club curriculum will also be included, utilizing the Merrill
Lynch curriculum which teaches the kids about investing, budgeting, saving
money and other important information about finance. As has been done in the past, through the fundraising efforts
with Corridor Fine Wine, each youth receives $25.00 after completing a section
of the curriculum and $25 is placed in a savings account that we be given to
each youth as they age out of the system. The teens will also learn about their
legal rights, transportation and even shopping for groceries or furnishings for
their apartments.
Diane is hoping for a big
turnout of foster teens for the program that will meet every two weeks through
May. KidsPeace interns from the University of Maryland and Howard University
will assist Shalita and Shantel with the program. Diane is very excited about
the program and asks, "Who can better help kids than those who have been in
their shoes? These wonderful young women will pass along their experiences and
what they have learned to try to make the transition to adulthood easier for
this next generation foster kids about to become independent."
KidsPeace FCCP will be
holding a wine tasting fundraiser for the Prep for Success program on September
16, from 6:00 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. at Corridor Fine Wine, 3321 Marketplace,
Laurel, MD 20724.

Photos and Review by Oyster.com Investigators
A low-key vibe is geared toward a business clientele, but the David Rockwell design makes the hotel feel cool.
Its non-descript, 33-story building (erected in 2004) sits on the border of two less-than thrilling neighborhoods Midtown East and Murray Hill. And yet, on the inside, the Wyndham's interiors feel distinctly downtown.
David Rockwell, renowned for his work on the W hotels and Nobu, designed the 203-room property. The lobby is pretty small, though it makes quite the impression with its fireplace and color-changing background lighting.
With Pfizer and TIAA Cref just around the corner, and the United Nations is just a couple of blocks away at 46th Street and First Avenue, Wyndham Midtown 45 is an attractive option for business travelers. But leisure travelers can also find much to like about the hotel -- its large suites; its in-room kitchens; its top-notch bath products; and, from time to time, rates that dip far below comparable hotels.
In Midtown East, surrounded by some of New York's largest corporate offices, like Pfizer and TIAA Cref.
Unlike more centrally located Midtown hotels, the Wyndham Midtown 45 is about a 10-minute walk east of Grand Central Station. The hotel is a few blocks from the United Nations, and its top floors provide excellent views of that building, the East River, and Midtown landmarks like the Chrysler Building.
Midtown East is where many New Yorkers come to work. Iconic skyscrapers -- the Chrysler Building and the Seagram Building -- dominate the skyline. On the ground, plenty of delis and Starbucks cafes feed the cubicle occupants. Nightlife is scarce, but excellent, typically pricey, cuisine is always within walking distance. On its western border, Fifth Avenue is home to shopping icons like Saks Fifth Avenue and Tiffany & Co., along with high-end flagships like Gucci and Versace. Madison Avenue, one block east of Fifth Avenue, is also dotted with designer boutiques.
The area lacks the residential quaintness of the Upper West Side, and most insider haunts are found farther downtown in areas like SoHo or the West Village. But subway access is ample, making it easy to venture anywhere in the city. Plus, the 24-hour, tourist-focused chaos of Times Square and the Theater District is just a long walk, short taxi, or brief subway ride away.
Plenty of space, a high-concept David Rockwell design, and flat-screen TVs in the bathrooms are nice, but rooms are worn.
In the standard room (the Deluxe King), there's an open closet built into the wall, a desk area with a series of vertical shelves. Of the hotel's 203 rooms, 130 are suites that include luxe amenities like Poggenpohl kitchens, Sub-Zero refrigerators, and Miele dishwashers.
Rooms, though modern, have some wear and tear. Wydham took over the property in 2013 is expected to update the rooms to brand standards.
A 24-hour gym and free Wi-Fi, but not much else
The sharp corners, breakable high-tech objects, and business-oriented location do not spell "kid-friendly."
Deluxe Kings do not have room for cots. On the other hand, many of the hotel's larger suites are more spacious, and feature living rooms with couches and kitchens with huge refrigerators and great cooking appliances. For families with older kids, these could be a great option.
About 30 to 90 minutes from three airports
New York City has three nearby airports: JFK, LaGuardia, and Newark (in New Jersey). Flying into JFK or LaGuardia is typically easiest and the least time-consuming. From JFK, it's a (one-hour) $45 flat-rate taxi ride to anywhere in Manhattan. From LaGuardia, it's about a (30-minute) $40 metered cab ride to Midtown Manhattan. Rides from Newark cost at least $40 (plus tolls), and can take more than 90 minutes. Don't forget to tip your driver 15-25 percent.
To save some cash, try the group shuttles like Super Shuttle that are available at all three airports for about $14/person. You can also take public transit from any of the airports for as little as $7 per person, but travel can take up to two hours and involve a lot of lugging bags up and down stairs. For mass-transit directions right to the hotel, check out HopStop.com.
Located two blocks from a subway station in Midtown East, the Wyndham's neighborhood isn't exactly fashionable (it's dominated by offices and residential buildings), but it's a smart, stylish option. It has an intimate, low-key vibe, a great gym, luxurious in-room amenities, a friendly staff, and easy access to Midtown's corporate centers.

My partner opened a "strong" one NT. I am holding:
♠ void
♥ KJxx
♦ AKQxxx
♣ KJx
What should I bid?
I would bid 4C (Gerber) to ask about aces. If partner has 3, bid 7D. If partner has only 2, bid 6D.
The weak point in this hand is if partner has, say, the KJ in spades; some other responder might have a fancier convention to pick out the specific high cards.
Now that this is open again:
Opposite a strong 1 NT, I bid 3D if it is natural, or I transfer to diamonds if that is available. If partner denies support for diamonds I bid 6D. If he shows support for diamonds I investigate 7D with what-ever methods are available to me. Consider where partner's 16 points are. An "unfortunate" hand from partner would be this: AKJx AQx xx Qxxx, and 6D is looking pretty icy even with all those wasted values in spades. In a practiced partnership I investigate grand slam even if partner denies diamond support initially.
Opposite a weak NT I will probably still end up in 6D, though I might blind the auction by jumping there in an unpracticed partnership. Why help the defence by bidding precisely when it is going to be of more help to the defence?
You have to make a forcing bid, what you specifically bid will depend entirely on what conventions you and your partner are playing with.

As usual, the Dec. 3 indictments contain a wide variety of charges with the majority of them drug related. In addition to the drug charges, the jury considered charges of theft, entering auto, shoplifting, burglary, child molestation, aggravated assault, dogfighting, aggravated stalking, and homicide by vehicle.
Dakota Lee Benefield, Jonathan Scott Lucas, and Jesse Caleb Newby were indicted on 42 counts of entering an auto. According to a story about their arrests in The Jones County News, the three young men were arrested Sept. 26 after the Sheriff's Department received reports of entering auto from 23 separate locations. One homeowner saw the men and was able to give officers a description of their car, and a major break in the case came from another homeowner's surveillance system that helped confirm the description of the offenders and their vehicle. The suspects were spotted and arrested later that day by Lt. Ed Bailey. Most of the stolen items were recovered with the exception of two handguns.
Clyde Haynes was indicted on three charges of burglary and four counts of theft by taking misdemeanor. According to the indictment, Haynes entered a home, storage building, and camper May 19, and took building materials and auto parts.
Jerry Dewayne Houston and Willie Eugene Howard were indicted on the charge of burglary in the first degree. A report of the arrest of the men states they were stopped on a traffic violation and taken into custody because of outstanding warrants. They were later connected to a Sept. 11 burglary on Oakview Drive, during which the door was forced open at the residence and a laptop, flat screen TV, handgun, and jewelry box were stolen.

I think Fitch can only take this in the usual Fitch style of winning.
I think Fitch can only take this in the usual Fitch style of winning.
I can't believe it, but I'm kinda rooting for Fitch, Hell maybe he'll surprise us all? Or maybe he'll just dry hump, win, and pay his bills......
Scarface: Fuck you, fuck you, fuck you, you're cool, and fuck you, I'm out!
"I don't call the fighting in my films 'violent', I call it 'action'. An action film borders between fantasy and reality. If I were to be completely realistic in my films, you would call me a violent, bloody man. I would simply destroy my opponent by tearing his guts out. I wouldn't do it so artistically." ~Bruce Lee
I disagree to the comparison. I do agree the hype is comparable between Silva and Barbosa but they have complete different styles. Barbosa is a more take his time and technically beat you. Silva on the other hand is usually on the attack and very aggressive which makes him very dangerous but also makes him vulnerable for being over aggressive and Fitch grabbing ahold of him. But I don't think that happens. Got Silva tko rd 2
~ Genghis Khan
"Honestly it has to be," Fitch told Bleacher Report in regard to the next chapter of his career. "If this fight doesn't go the way I need it to, I'm kind of at a loss of what to do next. Losing fights is not paying the bills. It is not really an option for me to go out there and not perform well or not put on a good show. I'm really looking for the 'Fight of the Night' bonus. That is something which is really going to put some distance between me and financial problems."
^^^^ What is Fitch trying to say here? To me when i first read this it came off like if i dont win this fight im done with fighting. He said if it doesnt go the way he needs it to that hes at a loss for what to do next....would anyone else be surprised if fitch called it quits if he lost to silva? i mean really what else is left for him at WW if he did lose? He wont ever fight GSP again, lost to Silva (if that happens), lost to Hendricks...it would be hard to sell Fitch vs any top contenders anymore imo so would he be the new 170 gatekeeper?
i expect fitch to just come out and try to grind his way to a victory, like he does everytime
Got a lot of soul searching to do. Sorry to everyone I've let down
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHHAAHHAHAAH..........HHHHAHAHAAH AAAHAHAAHAH. The thought of Fitch doing something exciting enough to warrent a FOTN bonus is making my brain hurt.
not really a fan of fitch and i would love to see silva KO or TKO him but i think fitch will probably win by UD. hopefully, silva will prove me wrong and win by impressive KO.
Fitch has one beautiful FOTN performance and I see him possibly getting another tonight the same way he got his last.
Getting destroyed for 3 rounds in highly spectacular fashion.
Not likely but will be only way he gets another FOTN.
I like how he doesnt mention finishing the fight lol, still a fight of the night bonus would do wonders to Fitchs record, especially against a top up n comer.
I like Fitch and I give him mad props for his style and skills and I actually agree with him on this:I've never seen Silva out of the 1st round, so all I know of him is this explosive wrecking machine, I got a false sense of what type of fighter he really is based on three fights, and Im sure im not the only one.That can mislead a lot of people and the fighters themselves because fast knockouts or fast finishes over opponents who get finished and knocked out often could build a false sense of confidence."
Im hoping so bad that Silva is the real deal. Im hoping he gets his wrestling tested and finishes off Fitch late in the second or third. But a smart man wouldnt pick Fitch to lose two times in a row(3times whatever), let alone get finished two times in a row.
Im betting the house that Fitch takes this fight pretty decisively, Im hoping im wrong.
God hates me, never keep my banger on safety
My mother raised me alone, you can't break me
Like my hearts pumpin the blood of Royce Gracie!
13-4-1 in sig/av
Get your pillows and snuggies, this one's gonna be a sleeper lol
OT: Fitch is still one of the best ww in the world no matter how boring we find his style. If it works, if it aint broke don't break it.

He must mean KO of the night, sorry Fitch, don't you remember from last time, they don't give KO bonuses to the person that gets KO'ed.
Goodbye Mr. Burton

Ways to get involved in promoting the Victorious Gospel

God ordered the death of those nations and children for one simple reason, survival. It was a military reason. God was teaching Israel's leaders and even commanded them, when defending from attack or when invading another nation not to allow anyone to live or when they grow up their descendents will seek revenge.God taught Israel, as a nation, in order to survive that when no enimies, current or future are left behind there would not be residual attacks.We need to remember that Israel was a real nation really living amongst hostile nations and they had an army and were attacked and attacked others. God, who gave them intsructions on all things, also gave intruction concearning thier war tactics.
Hello people... Anyone notice michelle7mickey has made only 2 post? Hello??? Can anyone say TROLL! Jesus, are you guys this blind to whom your responding? michelle7mickey has in no way earned what you have given her! Test the Spirit you read from her! I do not judge, I only see, but why should you share your pearls to those whom would just trample them? Paul
Well, then maybe God does created most of humanity to fry forever, after all, whos to question God.He does as he pleases.
It appears that some men see similarities between their thoughts and that of the SPIRIT, however, there are very dissimilar functions beneath which are unrelated to man's common descent into hell and genocide.Survival mode is within the minds of men; death."For whoever wishes to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel's will save it."peacemaker
Well, then I guess I'm a UR fundamentalist because I believe the scriptures from cover to cover. To me, aside from being obvious by virtue of the fact that Jesus Christ was the spiritual embodiment produced by the OT scriptures (ALL of them, not just the ones in Isaiah), additional "proof" lies in the fact that He is being produced IN US from those same scriptures every time revelation is unlocked from them. Paul said to the Galatians that Christ needed to be formed in them. It is by the revelation of all the scriptures that He is formed in us as a heart of (celestial or spiritual) flesh. Blessings.....
Yes I do know what Paul meant by that statement, which again is by revelation of the Spirit only. And I haven't said anything condemning anyone.I have no idea who Fred Phelps is......which is probably a good thing......
Quote from: Paul Hazelwood on April 27, 2010, 01:49:48 AMWell, then maybe God does created most of humanity to fry forever, after all, whos to question God.He does as he pleases. I can see how one could reach that conclusion if they believe the scriptures literally from cover to cover. I have come to realize that there are what I would call UR FUNDAMENTALISTS. They operate almost exactly the sameas your typical right-wing churchy fundamentalist. I'm not one of them - that is for sure.Anne
Thanks Paul, good clarification. (Who, you? Sarcastic? )
Quote from: Cardinal on April 27, 2010, 06:59:24 AM Yes I do know what Paul meant by that statement, which again is by revelation of the Spirit only. And I haven't said anything condemning anyone.I have no idea who Fred Phelps is......which is probably a good thing...... Gosh, I thought everyone (at least those in the modern Christian world) knew who Fred Phelps is. He's in the news a lot.He is very opinionated and very certain about his views of "Who God is and What God thinks and does".http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fred_Phelps
It is by the revelation of all the scriptures that He is formed in us as a heart of (celestial or spiritual) flesh.
So can we say that is how we should conduct military operations now?
Gods character is in scripture and we can determine what he will and won't do. Some seem to get offended that someone dares to say they can learn what God won't do. I know that the scriptures ARE true. Disagreeing with someone concerning what scripture is telling us has nothing to do with believing the scriptures are not sound.If I believe the whole bible is a metaphor I am asserting that religion is not necessarily correct, nothing more.
QuoteSo can we say that is how we should conduct military operations now?That's up to the politicians, as far as God is concearned, the goevrnment has changed. Israel isn't the chosen nation, for all are the chosen nation, if one were to rise up against another then it would be Kingdom of God vs. Kingdom of God.Psalm 2: 6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." 7"I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession."andRevelation 21:1 "Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among themAll of the nations are God's, therefore He isn't about to genocide what is His. For all have been washed in the blood and all have been reconcilled. The nations before weren't.
So Hitler was leading a nation of God?
QuoteSo Hitler was leading a nation of God?No, Hitler lived within the nation of God, he lead a group of people known as Germans, who also lived within the nation of God.

UCC Observatory
Just above Umpqua Community College's campus, near the track, plans are being made for a new remote observatory, one that will be accessible online to homes and classrooms all over Douglas County.
So far, more than $56,000 has been raised for the observatory, including a $20,000 grant from the Associated Students of Umpqua Community College and other financial support from the Umpqua Astronomers, a local astronomy club, Wolf Creek Job Corps, and a generous anonymous donor.
When completed, the observatory will be equipped with powerful telescopes and planetary imaging cameras, which will allow lab experiences to be live-streamed to UCC students, as well as to K-12 students and private citizens all over Douglas County, opening up new opportunities for learning and understanding of complex scientific concepts.
"Students throughout Douglas County will be able to progress through unique astronomy learning modules designed both for our observatory and for Oregon's earth and space science curriculum," explained UCC astronomy professor Dr. Paul Morgan, who is spearheading the observatory project. "Synchronous virtual classroom experiences will engage and inspire students and private citizens to learn more about the universe we inhabit, establishing UCC as a leader in astronomy outreach."
The total cost of the observatory is expected to be about $127,000. Morgan is currently seeking grants and private donations to fund completion of the observatory, which is scheduled for spring 2014, depending on fundraising. To donate to the observatory, call the UCC Foundation at 541-440-7678, or donate online below:

Google Spreadsheets finally added charts. This feature has been developed for many months and was one of the biggest lacks from Google's spreadsheet application.
You can create more types of charts: columns, bars, lines, pie, scatter, add labels and a legend. Just select the columns you want to plot and click on the new chart icon. After inserting the chart in the spreadsheet, you can save it as a PNG image or edit it.
The charts are rendered as SVG in Firefox/Opera and VML in Internet Explorer, so they don't require plug-ins. As usually, Opera is not officially supported, so you'll find things that don't work as expected.
You can annotate cells and search using Google the text from a cell.
