Werth gets cortisone shot for shoulder sprain
NEW YORK -- Nationals right fielder Jayson Werth had an MRI taken Tuesday night on his right shoulder and the results revealed an AC joint sprain. On Wednesday, he received a cortisone shot in the shoulder and will not be able to play for the next couple of days.
Werth hurt the shoulder making a catch against the Phillies last week at Nationals Park. He had the day off Saturday and was back in the lineup Sunday against the Braves. The Nationals had the day off Monday, but Werth was not in the lineup the next day.
"He should be good to go [in a couple of days]. It's one of those things where it's kind of a painful thing," manager Matt Williams said. "There is no structural damage, no issues or anything else in the pictures. The cortisone shot will calm it down to get the inflammation out of there as quickly as possible. But during the process, he can't play. He has to shut it down for a couple of days at least."
Werth has been productive for the Nationals this season, hitting .279 with 12 home runs and 63 RBIs.
With Werth out, Kevin Frandsen received the start in left field, while Bryce Harper moved over from left to right field.

IntroductionThe program is designed to nurture independent, creative scientists. Applicants for graduate training should have sound preliminary training in a physical or quantitative science; especially chemistry, physics, computer science, or mathematics. The primary objective of the program is to educate and train individuals with this background to apply the concepts and methods of the physical sciences to the solution of biological problems.
Initiated in 1959 by Arthur K. Solomon, the Committee on Higher Degrees in Biophysics at Harvard University has a long history of important research achievements. Over 60 faculty members from departments including Physics, Chemistry and Chemical Biology, Molecular and Cell Biology, Engineering Sciences, the Division of Applied Sciences, the Division of Medical Sciences (Genetics, Microbiology and Molecular Genetics, Cell Biology, Neurobiology, Systems Biology, and the Department of Biological Chemistry and Molecular Pharmacology), the teaching Hospitals (Childrenąs Hospital, Beth Israel Hospital, Massachusetts General Hospital), and the Dana-Farber Cancer institute participate in the training of students in the Biophysics Program. Faculty affiliated with the Harvard-MIT program in Health Science and Technology (HST) can also serve as research advisors.
Owing to the interdepartmental nature of the program, a student's research options are increased greatly. Research programs may be pursued in any of the departments or hospitals mentioned.

Illustrator CS6 has been enhanced and streamlined in various areas like performance, efficiency, and usability. While improving on the existing prowess of the product is great, it is also important to modernize and restructure features that, over time, are used differently, or have become less relevant, or are just not used any more.
The Save for Web feature is used, chiefly, to optimize artwork and images for the purpose of using it in web browsers and applications. This was achieved by optimizing image size and color. However, as the web evolves and bandwidth becomes increasingly and easily available, the Save for Web feature has also evolved to keep up with the times. The feature has been reworked, and the changes include availability of certain formats from different menu options, removal of the WBMP format and automatic HTML generation, and modifications to the slices feature.
Save for Web
The Save for Web & Devices dialog box has been renamed and is now the Save for Web dialog box. This reflects the convergence of web formats and the new and enhanced capabilities of mobile devices. For the same reason, Device Central is no longer available in Creative Suite 6. The Save for Web dialog has also been fine-tuned to enhance usability, and other notable changes include:
- The Image Size panel is now available to interact with directly; no tabs to navigate through.
- The Image Size options are dynamic, enabling you to preview your changes as you go. You no longer have to click the Apply button to preview your changes.
- The option to export slices has been moved into the Save for Web dialog (previously found in the Save Optimized As dialog)
SVG and SWF formats
The capabilities of mobile devices and web rendering technologies have improved, and we can safely choose quality over size. Therefore, the option to save images as SWF or SVG has been removed from the Save for Web feature.
- To save as SWF file format, click File > Export, and then choose Flash (*.swf) from the Save as type list.
- To save as SVG file format, click File > Save As, and then choose SVG (*.svg) from the Save as type list.
Unavailable format: WBMP
The WBMP (wireless bitmap, .wbmp file) format was originally created to support images over WAP (wireless application protocol). These images were monochrome, and were effective when the availability of wireless bandwidth was minimal. The emergence of mobile broadband and 4G technologies have made the WBMP format obsolete. The capability to save to the .wbmp file format has been removed from the Save for Web dialog.
HTML export
The ability to save HTML has been removed from the Save for Web dialog box. However, if required, you can still get HTML code – in the Save for Web dialog, click Preview, and use the HTML code at the bottom of the browser window. In Photoshop CS6 though, Export to HTML is still available and you could save to HTML from there.
Output settings
The Output Settings dialog box, used to control HTML file formatting, slice naming, and background image handling, has been removed.

Neighbors and friends of a 30-year-old man who died Thursday night in a house fire at 1622 79th Ave., described him as a respectable and loving person who overcame a physical disability and the limits it placed on his life to become a good friend to those who knew him.
Angela Lewis, 28, said Jonas Spears, who died in the fire, lost both his legs when he was about 2 or 3 years old from a railroad accident.
"He didn't let his disability stop him," said Lewis, who lives across the street from the house where the fatal fire occurred. "I remember when I was in high school and he had gotten some prosthetic legs and he was going to the dance. He had on his nice jeans and he would walk on his prosthetics with his crutches."
Tameka Polk, 35, who lives about four houses down from Lewis, said some people were wary of Jonas Spears' sometimes odd behavior, because they did not understand him as a person. He would ride around in his wheelchair with shorts on and show off where his legs were amputated, which people in the neighborhood grew accustomed to, she said.
Polk said Spears may have seemed off to people who didn't know him, especially those passing by a Chevron gas station near Spears' house where he liked to hang out. But, she said, going though life as "a kid with no legs to a man with no legs," was understandably difficult.
As of Friday afternoon, the cause of the fatal fire is under investigation, Baton Rouge Fire Department spokesman Robert Combs said Friday.
Baton Rouge Fire Department firefighters responded to the fire at 9:58 p.m. and saved Jonas Spears' father, Willie Spears Sr., but were unable to find Jonas Spears, Combs said.
Lewis said there was so much smoke it initially looked like a fog descended upon the area. She said she ran across the street screaming to Jonas and Willie to get to the back of the house because it seemed that only the front of the house was on fire.
"Right before the firetrucks got here, you could see the flames getting bigger and you could hear windows popping," Lewis said. "You could hear crackling. Things were falling from the outside of the house."
She said she could hear Jonas Spears' screams coming from the back of the house as firefighters struggled to extinguish the blaze.
Sitting in her kitchen Friday afternoon, she said she could still hear his cries for help.
"My heart hurts," she said.
Firefighters also heard cries for help and found Willie Spears Sr. yelling for help from the back of the house, Combs said.
Firefighters found him trapped in a bathroom at the back of the house by burglary bars, which firefighters had to rip from the wall to remove him from the burning house, Combs said.
He told them he had a son inside and firefighters entered the house but were unable to find Jonas Spears in time, Combs said.
He might have been covered in debris from the ceiling, which would have hindered firefighters' search efforts, Combs said.
East Baton Rouge Parish Coroner Dr. William "Beau" Clark said Jonas Spears died of carbon monoxide exposure.
He said he sent a blood sample to a hospital to test for carbon monoxide poisoning and his blood levels came back at about 70 percent.
Clark said anything above 60 percent is fatal.
He added Jonas Spears did not have any direct burns, but did have indirect heat exposure.
The fire started in the kitchen before spreading to other areas of the home, Combs said. Nearly 60 percent of the home was damaged by fire.

As you can see from the photo, I do have a system set up for emailed requests. As soon as I get one, I print it out and stack it neatly on my desk. So be patient, I will eventually get to yours...as soon as I find it.
By the way, now that the site is pretty much set-up, I will hopefully be back to posting every week day. On the weekends I'll try to post some fun food stuff I've found surfing the web. Anyway, keep those requests coming! Enjoy!

THE owner of an independent record store in Evesham forced to shut down after a period of hard times has blasted the way the town is being run.
Gary Smith, owner of Rapture, closed his Evesham store earlier this month after eight years blaming months of tough trading conditions in the town.
The abrupt closure of the popular shop in the Riverside Centre, which welcomed celebrities including Newton Faulkner, Scouting for Girls and McFly, has left yet another empty retail unit, which Mr Smith says is no surprise after a "long line of howlers" made by those in charge.
He said: "Unfortunately the people responsible for running Evesham town centre have the let the good people of Evesham down.
"The bridge fiasco is just the latest in a long line of real howlers, but to ruin Christmas trade in that way was unforgivable. Whoever let Tesco drag Next, Argos, etc, away from the town also needs to be named and shamed in my opinion.
"Evesham needs some radical thinking, I have lots of ideas, many probably unworkable, but something needs to be done."
Despite this Mr Smith added it was not all down to the town and thanked his "incredible" staff and all their customers, which he said had become friends. "The townsfolk of Evesham have been fantastic, we've had a lot of laughs."
The sad shut down of Rapture comes after the re-opening of Evesham's Abbey Bridge, which was closed for nearly six months over the Christmas period.
But the knock on effect of the closure is still being felt, says Tony Rowland, chairman of the Vale of Evesham Commerce and Tourism Association.
"I feel the town has suffered a tragic loss, in hindsight the bridge project was fundamentally flawed before it even started. Unfortunately we are still seeing the after effects.
"I am very sad Rapture has gone, I am not surprised. You can't blame the town entirely but I am sure it exacerbated the situation.
"The situation is evolving. In the future we will see more of a cafe culture in the town."
This idea is supported by chairman of the Evesham Market Town Partnership and town and district councillor Gerry O'Donnell, who said many people were working hard to move the town forward.
"It's about retail yes, but about leisure and food and beverage. It's about providing space for the population. It's multi faceted because Evesham is the unique selling point."
Evesham's new mayor Cllr Charlie Homer added he was sad to see the closure of Rapture but it was important for all the organisations in the town to work together to move forward.

Everything began at the age of 19, when Anya's trips to Italy and her passion for leather inspired her to create her first handbag. It has indeed been a long way since her first store opening in London, to the business that makes up the company today. Her beginnings are already promising since she is being noticed and adored by many celebrities. Quickly, the development of the brand takes off. Her clients include Margaret Tatcher and even Princess Diana. The brand is known for the use and appreciation of quality materials, and its desire to provide excellent products. Anya Hindmarch wishes to preserve craftsmanship as well as keeping a personal touch on all her pieces. With a presence in 9 countries and 50 stores, the brand continues to grow and strives to reach fashion's highest levels.
After growing up in England, Anya Hindmarch settles in Florence, Italy, to learn the language. There, she discovers a passion for craftsmanship and beautiful materials, and returns to her home country to open her first accessories store inspired by her stay in Italy. Success comes fast, and soon the brand grows worldwide. With the help of her husband James Seymour, who acts as the business' chief financial officer, she manages the brand as well as the creative duties. While Anya Hindmarch is known in the fashion industry for her creativity and her talent, she is famous for the many causes she is passionate about. She specifically fights for the protection of the environment, and in 2007 creates the ecological bag names "I'm not a plastic Bag". At the same time, she partners with British Airways for 11 years to design First Class bags, as well as with Selfridges; Vanity Fair and Barbour. In 2009, Anya becomes part of the Order of the British Empire and takes the position of administrator at the Design Museum, and the Royal Academy of Arts. Anya Hindmarch receives many awards, including the Veuve Clicquot Business Woman Award in 2012.

Cynthia Tucker is an American syndicated columnist. She was recognized with a Pulitzer Prize for Commentary in 2007 "for her courageous, clear-headed columns that evince a strong sense of morality and persuasive knowledge of the community". She was a Pulitzer-nominated finalist in 2004 and 2006.
On June 20, 2010, in reaction to David Blankenhorn's testimony at the Prop 8 trial in California, Ms. Tucker wrote in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution: "There are no good arguments for denying gays and lesbians the right to a civil (non-religious) marriage. But of all the arguments that opponents make, perhaps the most ridiculous is this: If gays are allowed to marry, heterosexual marriage will be weakened."

Frank Rich discusses the Prop 8 trial in California: "Gays are far from the only Americans still facing discrimination, but as [David] Boies said when I interviewed him about the Prop 8 case last week, the ban on the freedom to marry 'is the last area in which the state is taking an active role in enforcing discrimination.'"

Donna Brazile is an American author, professor, and political analyst affiliated with the Democratic Party.
On April 13, 2010, on CNN's The Situation Room with Wolf Blitzer, in response to Gov. Mike Huckabee's comments equating marriage equality to legalizing polygamy, incest, and drug use, Brazile stated: "Well, these kinds of statements have no place, I think in our political dialogue. We can disagree on marriage equality. I support marriage equality. Five states and the District of Columbia now allows gay marriage. ... But I think the governor should really distance himself from these statement. He should be a man of love. He is a preacher, after all. And I'm very disturbed by some of the things he said."

In the course of the discussion, Don Imus expressed support for the freedom to marry, saying: "I supported—not that it's important, but I support it [the freedom to marry] on the basis of the philosophy of my friend Kinky Friedman, who thinks that they [gay couples] have a right to be as unhappy…as anybody...It's great that you and Ted are doing this, and I hope you win, good luck." During the interview, Mr. Boies explained the constitutional and civil rights issues at stake in the case. Watch the video of the Don Imus/David Boies interview below:

Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 21/3/2011 (2344 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Like Clark Kent and Superman, have Jamie Wilson and Kevin Chief ever been seen together?
The two men are friends, and both were keynote speakers this weekend at the Manitoba School Boards Association, Wilson on Friday, Chief on Saturday.
Wilson is Manitoba's treaty relations commissioner, and is the former education director for Opaskwayak Cree Nation. Chief is a provincial political candidate in Point Douglas for the NDP, executive director of the Winnipeg Aboriginal Sports Achievement Centre, and among other things, runs the Eco Kids program for U of W.
Wilson told the trustees he and Chief get taken for each other. "I'm not Kevin Chief," he pointed out in opening his keynote address.
"People come up to me and say, 'Good job, Kevin,'," laughed Wilson.
Then Wilson told the trustees, "Somebody go up to Kevin tomorrow and say, 'Good job, Jamie."
Moving right along...
I got one of those emails from a public relations firm beseeching me to promote an upcoming event, this time the David Suzuki Foundation. Suzuki is turning 75, and 200 Canadian schools will take part next Tuesday in an on-line virtual happy birthday celebration, in which Suzuki will talk to the kids and answer questions.
With me so far?
The public relations type assured me that Leila North in Seven Oaks School Division, Beautiful Saviour Lutheran School in Winnipeg, and Winnipeg's Casa Montessori — which is for kids aged three to six — will take part.
Keen observers will note that next Tuesday is March 30, which falls within school break week, a true fact which I pointed out to the p.r. person in Ottawa. Yup, she said, this time of year one province or another is on school break, so it's an issue, but she assured me that all of the schools are good to go.
Which means that those schools would have kids and teachers coming to school during school break.
Seven Oaks superintendent Brian O'Leary told me it's news to him, and he can't see Leila North coming to school next week. Beautiful Saviour Lutheran principal Gerry Thiessen told me it's the first she's heard about this event, she's not aware of it, and the school will be closed next week. Casa Montessori is also closed next week, but one of the parents is hosting the on-line event at her home for any of the kids who can make it.
And so I relay that information back up the line.
And, finally, the p.r. type gets back to me again today from Ottawa, and blames someone in the schools for registering even though the schools can't take part, and takes a shot at the schools for taking away someone else's chance to participate.
Anyone at the schools want to counter that?
On to another topic...
I'm refereeing knockout soccer playoff matches, and a parent who's a professional in the public school system comes up to me prior to the kickoff, someone who looks vaguely familiar, and tells me we recently had professional dealings. "My son is on the (colour of jersey) team.....Favour us."
I went to the Manitoba School Boards Association awards night Thursday, at which outstanding students get recognized for their volunteer and community work, and school divisions are also up for innovation awards.
Great evening, terrific kids.
But I'm thinking, if someone asked me to be one of the hosts for such an evening, I'd go over the names ahead of time and learn to pronounce them properly. And if I wasn't sure, I would ask someone who knows, and then write it out phonetically. You get honoured with an award from wonderful work, and then someone can't pronounce your name or the name of your school. We live in a province with names reflecting Cree or Ojibway or Ukrainian or Icelandic and umpteen other heritages, and surely people have the right to expect that people from other cultures can learn to pronounce their names properly.
One of many examples, school trustee 'Ritta Highdell' gets called up to present an award, and I'm wondering who on earth that is and why I've never heard of her, and up comes Winnipeg School Division trustee Rita Hildahl, and the person butchering her name is another school trustee with whom she's dealt provincially.....Hildahl told me later that it's not the first time.
Change of topic....
Quite the impressive advertising campaign on the U of M website. The home page touts various research projects, along with an 'I am a visionary... a trailblazer... a conqueror' messages, each showing a different young girl who presumably will go to U of M in a few years and change the world.
And now for something completely different, and a chance for selfrighteous indignation...
I've ended up on my personal email on a mailing list from Amazon, after buying DVDs of some of my favourite 50s scifi flicks — Invaders from Mars, Target Earth, Them, The Thing, etc — and get a promo or two a week.
So last week, I get an offer of a newly-made DVD of the extremely obscure and ultra-low-budget Kathryn Grant 1957 film, The Night the World Exploded, which I remember seeing on Buffalo WKBW's fright night early in high school. It's about scientists developing an earthquake predicting machine, and trying to warn the governor of California of impending disaster, and I'm looking at this ad and trying to figure out, what part of beyond tasteless and insensitive did Amazon not understand? They could have held this for a few weeks and replaced it with another old film to feature.
Another segue...
I'm in Safeway last week, refereed two soccer games the night before, came from a two-hour workout to shop, and the checkout person asks if I want 10 times the Air Miles or 10 per cent off. I choose, everything gets processed, and I mention i don't see a sign for the promo. "Oh," says the cashier, "it's seniors day."
At least, old and decrepit though I obviously appeared, the cashier didn't push it when I insisted I could get my own groceries out to the car.
One more topic?
I'm reminded again why I have no future in marketing and management. It would never have occurred to me that doubling parking rates and extending parking charges to Saturdays and well into the evening would attract people to downtown.
So, let me try to follow this, we'll be more apt to go downtown and park if it costs more to do so? I'll have to pay on Saturdays when I go to Mountain Equipment Co-op, and we'll have to feed a meter when we go to the MTC or Warehouse on Saturday nights, or to evening Moose or Goldeyes games, and parking on the street will no longer be an option when we go to the Globe.
BTW, Sam, loathe though you are to bleed people for user fees and revenue from parking fines, how about dispatching your forces to issue tickets to those selfish people who take up two spots in the theatre district on frigid winter nights? The nights we have to walk five or six blocks, and then when we reach those great on-street parking spots around the Warehouse, here are people eating up two spots.

Patch 5.0.4 might not have brought all of Mists of Pandaria's content, but it did contain all of its mechanics and class changes. Our new talent trees are active and Swirly Ball has finally returned. As with all of the pre-expansion patches, we are given a few weeks to cope with the new changes before the actual expansion goes live. While we're still missing out on our level 87 abilities and our level 90 talents, we still need to be able to deftly control our rogues for a few more weeks.
The majority of our rotations have remained intact, and you should feel right at home after a few cycles. Most of the changes that rogues are seeing are passive or quality of life improvements. Other classes are faced with relearning major facets of their playstyle, but combo points and energy continue to hold steady.

PHILADELPHIA - In front of 21,422 track and field fans at historic Franklin Field on Thursday, four Quakers and a relay posted top-five all-time marks for the University of Pennsylvania during the first day of the 120th Penn Relays.
Freshman Cleo Whiting and sophomore Elyssa Gensib posted two of the top five marks all-time at Penn in the women's 3,000 meters at Thursday night's distance classic. Whiting was ninth overall and came across the finish line in 9:29.43. That's the third-fastest time in school history and the best performance by a Quaker since Emily Logan set the school record in 2004. Meanwhile, Gensib also set a personal-best with her 13th-place finish of 9:35.75 and remained fifth all-time at Penn after Whiting jumped into the top five.
To cap the day, senior Kersie Jhabvala topped her personal-best in the women's 10,000 meters and moved into second-place all-time at Penn with a finish of 35:12.05. That placed her 13th overall as she clipped more than 20 seconds off her career best.
In the men's 10k, freshman Brendan Shearn became just the ninth man in program history to break 30 minutes in the event. His finish of 29:49.04 is third-best all-time at Penn and the best for any Quaker since John Cico in 1981.
The Quakers finished fourth in the women's distance medley relay with the fifth-fastest time in school history and the fastest time at Penn since the school record was set in 2008. Senior captain Chelsea Delaney completed the opening 1,200 meters in 3:36.13 and handed to senior Stephanie Green who ran the 400 leg in 58.35. Junior Pauline Dabrowski finished the 800 in 2:14.26 and freshman Ashley Montgomery took the baton the final mile in 4:54.13. That combined for the all-time top five finish of 11:42.85.
In the women's 4x100-meter relay, the Quakers won their heat. Gabrielle Piper, Rachel Hlatky, Princess Lydia Ali and Heather Bong combined to finish in 46.88 and placed 31st among the 100 competing teams. They are an alternate for the ECAC Final as well as the 4x400 women's relay, which finished second in the heptagonal division at 3:47.39.
In the javelin, sophomore Kelsey Hay was sixth against a challenging field of 13. The school record-holder's best toss was her third throw of the day and advanced her into the finals. It landed at 47.21 meters (154 feet, 10 inches).
During the multi events on Tuesday and Wednesday, Jancewicz won the heptathlon with the third-best score in school history. With 5,035 points, she became just the third woman in school history to win the Penn Relays title in the event.
Friday will feature the men's relays, while Friday and Saturday will contain several more relays for the Quakers, including some Championship of America races. For a complete schedule of the events in which the Quakers will be participating, click here.

HOUSTON - Two teenagers have been accused of fatally shooting a man during a drug deal.

Contact: Laura Palumbo, Prevention Campaign Specialist
877-739-3895, Ext. 128
National Sexual Violence Resource Center (NSVRC)
ENOLA, Pa. — April is Sexual Assault Awareness Month (SAAM) – a time to raise public awareness about sexual violence and to educate communities and individuals on how to prevent sexual violence.
Sexual violence affects people of all ages, ethnicities and backgrounds. Nearly 20 percent of the population has experienced some form of sexual assault in their lifetime, according to a report by the U.S. Department of Justice.
This April, it's time to start a dialogue, and the topic of the conversation is healthy sexuality. This year's SAAM campaign, It's time … to talk about it, encourages communities and individuals to join the conversation on how we connect and respect one another in order to prevent sexual violence.
The 2012 SAAM campaign provides tools and resources that focus on promoting positive expressions of sexuality and healthy behaviors. Promoting healthy behaviors encourages sexual interactions and relationships that are consensual, respectful and informed. By starting the conversation, this dialogue can build safe, healthy relationships.
In addition to the month-long campaign, the SAAM "Day of Action," on Tuesday, April 3, will highlight nationally coordinated events to raise public awareness about sexual violence and specific ways people can get involved in its prevention.
Awareness events and activities, coordinated throughout April, present a great opportunity to highlight regional and local newsmakers involved in SAAM. Visit www.nsvrc.org/calendar to find local and national SAAM events.
Campaign materials are available at: www.nsvrc.org/saam. For materials in Spanish, visit: www.nsvrc.org/es/saam.
For more information, contact 877-739-3895, or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

The Leadership Institute wishes students, faculty, donors, and friends a merry Christmas and a happy holiday season.
Because of you, the Institute trained 9,645 conservatives in 2009, and has trained more than 91,574 conservative students since 1979.
This past weekend LI took its Youth Leadership School to Mexico City to train 55 college students at their request.
With the recent elections behind us, how should conservatives move forward? Who should lead this movement? LI President Morton Blackwell answers these questions in his recent blog post.
Last week 71 individuals from 20 states and two countries joined us in our Arlington training facility for a week-long school on campaign management.
The Leadership Institute trained Erin Cranor who was just elected as a Clark County Board of School Trustee in Nevada.
This past weekend the Leadership Institute trained 62 young conservatives in political technology at LI's Youth Leadership Schools in Flagstaff, Arizona and in Arlington, Virginia.
Today at the Capitol two conservative organizations sponsored a panel discussion on sound money and America's global economic leadership.
On December 6, 1884 the construction of the Washington Monument in the District of Columbia was completed. It's claim to fame runs much deeper than just being the tallest structure in the nation's capitol.
If you weren't able to join the 140 attendees at the Leadership Institute's Capitol Hill Staff Training School, don't worry. It was a huge success, and LI staff have decided to hold another on February 2-3, 2011. So if you missed Steve Sutton's wildly popular lecture on negotiating a higher salary or Meghann Olshefski's fantastic resume and cover letter lecture, you still have a chance. Register today to secure your spot at this invaluable training and be sure to bring copies of your resume for a free resume audit. And dress as if the school is an interview..often times it turns out to be just that. Some students have even been hired directly from this training, so come prepared. You won't want to miss it again!
The Leadership Institute hosted 147 people on Tuesday and Wednesday nights for Capitol Hill Staff Training School. Read on for a student's reflection and for information on an upcoming school geared for those looking to work on the Hill.

- 1. Do not install the projector in locations that are subject to excessive water, humidity, steam, or oily smoke.
Doing so may result in fire, malfunction, or electric shock.
- 2. Please observe the following precautions:
• Never place objects on top of the projector while it is in operation.
• Make sure there is an unobstructed space of 500 mm (1 ft 8 in) or more around the projector's exhaust openings.
• Do not stack projector units directly on top of one another for the purpose of multiple (stacked) projection.
When stacking projector units, be sure to provide the recommended space between units.
These space requirements also apply to installation where only one projector unit is operating at one time and the other unit is used as a backup.
• Make sure that nothing blocks the projector's air intake and exhaust openings.
Also, install the projector so that cool or hot air from other air conditioning equipment does not flow directly toward the projector's air intake or exhaust openings.
• Do not install the projector in an enclosed space. If it is necessary to install it in an enclosed space, add a separate ventilation system.
If ventilation is insufficient, hot air will accumulate at the intake opening. This may cause the projector's protective circuit to interrupt projector operation.
• If the projector is placed in a box, ensure that the projector's intake and exhaust openings are not blocked.
Take particular care to ensure that hot air from the exhaust openings is not sucked into the intake openings.
• To install and use the projector via a method that does not use the adjustable feet in a floor standing installation, fix the projector using the four screw holes
for ceiling mounting. (Screw diameter: M4, tapping depth inside the set: 10 mm, torque: 1.25 ± 0.2 N-m)

Uveitis is a common cause of vision loss and blindness in the United States and in the world. Uveitis may cause blurry and reduced vision. When treated, vision may recover. In some cases, mostly in intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and panuveitis, where inflammation is recurrent and chronic, damage to the eye can occur, particularly to the retina and optic nerve, and cause permanent visual loss.
This is a complication seen in intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and panuveitis.
The leading cause of decreased vision which may lead to permanent visual loss is the development of CME – swelling of the macula which is the most sensitive part of the eye for vision needed for driving, reading and detailed work. If the swelling does not respond to treatment and is long standing, the sensitive cells under the fluid can eventually die. Other causes are swelling of the optic nerve. With the nerve swollen, messages from the retina cannot effectively get to the brain.
This is a complication seen in intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis, and panuveitis.
Although less serious, inflammatory cells, cellular debris and/or blood can invade the vitreous humor, which makes it cloudy. The vitreous humor is the clear gel-like substance that fills the eye. Normally, the vitreous gel is clear. This allows light through to the back of the eye. Rarely, inflammation from uveitis lets debris get into the vitreous. This may include blood and scar tissue. At first, this debris may cause floaters or flashes of light. If serious, it may block vision. Eye doctors will generally try medicines, and if the eye does not respond, the eye surgeon can remove the cloudy vitreous and replace it with a clear fluid. This procedure is called a vitrectromy.
High Eye Pressure and Glaucoma
These are possible complications of anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and panuveitis.
Your eye produces a watery fluid called aqueous humor, which goes into the eye and drains out. When your eye is healthy, the fluid drains through a mesh-like pathway and into the bloodstream. Aqueous fluid is produced by the ciliary body. It flows through the pupil and behind the clear cornea. Finally, it drains away through the trabecular meshwork.
The flow of aqueous humor through the front of the eye is related to overall pressure inside the eye. Inflammation caused by uveitis can lower production of aqueous humor. Inflammation can also lead to build-up of debris in the trabecular meshwork, blocking the flow of aqueous humor. Additionally, inflammatory cells are sticky and can also lead to blockage.
These problems can cause pressure in the eye to go up. This is called ocular hypertension. If the drainage is fully blocked, the pressure will rise dramatically. Severe pain, blurred vision and nausea are signs of this problem. It requires emergency room treatment. If the drainage is partly blocked, the pressure will go up – but not enough for the individual to feel it. Treatment involves the prescription of pressure-lowering eye drops. If the pressure cannot be controlled with pressure-lowering drops, it can lead to permanent vision loss – this is called glaucoma. Side vision (peripheral vision) is affected first. Many people do not notice loss of side vision until much of it is gone, so it is important to have your side vision tested regularly. Treatment includes the use of multiple eye drops; if this still does not control the damage caused by increased pressure, the eye doctor will recommend filtration surgery to let fluid drain from the eye. Long-term corticosteroid use (a common treatment for anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and panuveitis) is also a risk factor in the development of secondary glaucoma. The use of steroids can increase the amount of fluid produced by the ciliary body, causing the pressure inside the eye to rise. As many as one fifth of people with uveitis can develop ocular hypertension. Some of these individuals will develop glaucoma. The best way to prevent vision loss from glaucoma is by getting your eyes checked regularly. If you have glaucoma, you will need to work closely with your eye doctor to make your treatment successful. Find out more about preventing vision loss from glaucoma.
This is a complication of anterior uveitis, intermediate uveitis, posterior uveitis and panuveitis.
Cataracts are a common complication of uveitis. Cataracts are a clouding of the eye's lens. In less developed countries, this can be one of the most common causes of vision loss. In industrialized nations, however, cataract surgery is a commonly performed procedure. There are few surgical complications and very few people go blind from the condition.
Eye doctors can remove the eye's natural lens and replace it with a special plastic lens. However, if the cataracts are related to uveitis, eye doctors may not be able to perform surgery until the inflammation caused by uveitis is brought under control. In most cases, eye doctors want the eye to be free of inflammation for at least three months before performing cataract surgery. Sometimes, the artificial lens put in place by an eye doctor during cataract surgery can irritate the eye and cause anterior uveitis.
Long term use of corticosteroids used to treat uveitis can also increase the risk of developing cataracts. The type of cataract developed by long-term corticosteroid use causes the most visual disturbance.
This is a possible complication of posterior uveitis and panuveitis.
Uveitis can affect the vitreous body, the clear, gel-like substance that fills the eyeball. As we age, the vitreous may shrink and pull away from the retina. Sometimes, the retina can tear as the vitreous pulls away. If there is a break in the retina, vitreous may enter the tear and pull the retina away from the eye, requiring immediate surgery to prevent blindness. Floaters or flashes of light may be signs of vitreous detachment, a retinal tear or a retinal detachment. It's important to see your eye doctor for a complete eye exam if you notice any signs of eye problems. For uveitis patients, the retinal detachment complication rate is generally less than 5%.

DanNeely - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkIs the power consumption from the 900mhz underclocking option different from what's seen during the long idle test? Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkI really like that Gigabyte provided a block diagram of the board. Between flexible IO, PLX chips, on board USB hubs, and the sata switch used here; it can be really hard to figure out exactly what's connected where and what can be used at the same time. The diagram had almost everything I'd want to know collected in a single place; the only exception being which USB3 ports were attached to the hub.
I really hope other motherboard vendors will provide similar information as well. Reply
Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkGIGABYTE do this in all their motherboard manuals, so you only have to download the manual from the website and have a look. I am trying to get the other motherboard manufacturers to do this. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkGood for Gigabyte; they briefly got to the top of my list for the new system I'm planning. Unfortunately when I looked on newegg, it appears that they don't have any boards with 2 USB3 headers which is high on the list of features I want. Reply

apertotes - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - link"I must commend GIGABYTE in their APP Center redesign, and give kudos to exploring new types of application that they can combine into their package."
Ian, EasyTune had a very nasty bug in their previous version in that it had some global, non-customizable hotkeys that took control of some important keys in non-English keyboards, like @, # or |. To make things worse, it also crashed windows 7 x64 when some of those combinations where typed successively by unsuspecting users.
Can you say if this has been fixed? Reply
Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkI've asked if GB is aware of the issue. Will let you know when I get an answer. Reply
apertotes - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkOh, they are, they are. I've myself submitted 2 tickets, one in Canada and a second one in Spain because they said they did not have any non-English keyboard to test in their Canada tech support office. Not even a French keyboard. Right. Reply
apertotes - Wednesday, July 23, 2014 - linkWell, I just tried, and no, they have not fixed that stupid bug. With Easy Tune active, numbers 1-5 third value is lost, which means no |@#~€. Shame on you, Gigabyte. Reply

Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkD'oh! Fixed :) Reply
silenceisgolden - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkSo I think I might be a few PCIe lanes off, but would it be feasible to get rid of the PCI, one LAN slot, the D-SUB (because why is that still useful with DVI available), the PCI Express/M.2/SATA6 switch but keep the M.2? Then either add in another USB3, SATA6, or if possible in the future, another M.2 stacked on top of the first. I would think this would be the best combination of connectivity that the mainstream to enthusiast range of PC builders are looking for, and would stop the continuation of older standards or these choices that people have to make that might not be obvious when they are plugging stuff in to the motherboard. Reply
Chil - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkThe BIOS screenshots of both HD and Classic Mode show a BCLK of 99.79 MHz. Isn't the standard 100.0? Can anyone comment on if this is a bug or expected behavior and how it affects performance? Reply
The_Assimilator - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkIt's possible that AnandTech had Spread Spectrum enabled, but I have that option disabled on my Asrock Z77 Extreme6, and its BCLK fluctuates between 99.97MHz and 99.99MHz at boot (I have never seen it do a flat 100.00MHz). Reply
Chil - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - link99.97 is right around what I expect, but 99.79 (0.21 off the mark) is a different story. I did a big of searching and this appears to affect Gigabyte's entire "ultra durable" lineup. Reply
maecenas - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkGiven that you've run a few articles explaining how modern games are GPU dependent, and very rarely is the CPU the bottleneck in single-card applications, I'm really not clear on how a motherboard is going to have a significant impact on gaming performance, holding the GPU and CPU constant. Reply
extide - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkIt doesnt. The only thing is really the PCIe lane allocation, and if it possibly uses a PLX chip. Also, the feature set may be different, but the motherboard doesn't really affect performance. Reply
Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkPCIe lane allocation is important if you are not limited by the CPU first (see our Haswell refresh). There are some weird and wonderful chipset lane allocations when you move into the world of the PLX chip, or some server boards miss out lanes altogether. If/when I move to 4K gaming benchmarks (2015? depends on 24"/27" 60Hz monitor pricing) we might see a greater effect there. Reply
The_Assimilator - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkFlex IO is a step in the right direction from Intel. That said, it could be so much more; in fact it would make the most sense if ALL Flex IO ports were switchable between PCIe/USB3/SATA3. That would allow motherboard manufacturers to provide e.g. native 10 SATA ports without having to purchase and integrate additional standalone SATA controllers, which are slower and add to the BOM. I'd be pretty happy with a motherboard that did a 2/8/8 split for PCIe/USB3/SATA3.
Additionally, the 14 USB 2.0 ports are ridiculous; I don't think I've ever seen a motherboard that provides that many. Intel should aggregate 10 of those ports into an additional Flex IO port, which would leave 4 USB 2.0 ports. Anyone who needs more than a minimum of 8 USB ports (4 USB2 + minimum of 4 USB3) can buy a USB hub. Reply
DanNeely - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - link8 back panel ports and 3 mobo headers for 6 more was a relatively common config a few years ago. I think I've seen 6 back panel and 4 headers a few times too. 3 mobo headers covers a case with 4 front panel ports and a card reader in a drive bay. Other than being mostly USB3 this board has the same 8 back panel and 3 header configuration.
I'm not sure why Intel didn't cut the number of 2.0 ports down when they added USB3 to the chipset, but IIRC a USB2 controller is tiny compared to a USB3/PCIe lane/Sata6 controller. It's entirely possible that it came down to the 2.0 controllers being a small enough chunk of the chip that it wasn't worth fiddling with them because it couldn't affect enough space to matter for anything else. Reply
repoman27 - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkWell A: the USB 2.0 controllers, hubs, ports were already there, so it's easier to just let them be, and B: every USB 3.0 port uses a USB 2.0 port as well. Thus you really have a maximum of 14 USB ports total, up to 6 of which can be USB 3.0. Reply
The_Assimilator - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkA: By that argument every chipset ever made should still support ISA.
B: The Flex IO diagram on this very page specifically states "Total of 14 USB2 ports". I'm reading that as being a constant entirely independent of the number of USB 3.0 ports, but if you have any literature to contradict that, I'd be appreciative if you could link it. Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkNot sure I follow your logic. USB is probably the most used feature of a modern chipset (I suppose SATA probably gives it a run for its money though). Take a look at any USB 3.0 connector and you'll find 5 contacts which correspond to the SuperSpeed transmit and receive signaling pairs and ground, and then 4 more that carry the USB 2.0 signal and Vbus. This is how USB 3.0 achieves SuperSpeed while maintaining backwards compatibility, and the signals all need to come from somewhere.
Intel hasn't posted datasheets for the 9 series chipsets yet, but there really isn't a heck of a lot of difference between them and the 8 series (in fact they're all currently listed in ARK under the "Products (Formerly Lynx Point)" heading). In the 8 series datasheet [ http://www.intel.com/content/dam/www/public/us/en/... ], however, Intel states: "xHCI USB controller provides support for up to 14 USB ports, of which six can be configured as SuperSpeed USB 3.0 ports." Intel also includes this additional note: "Some USB 3.0 motherboard down devices do not require support for USB 2.0 speed and it is possible to route only the SuperSpeed signals, as allowed by the USB 3.0 specification. In this special case, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 signals will not need to be paired together, thereby allowing support for more than 14 USB connections."
Interestingly, although the PCH package only provides connections for 14 USB 2.0 signals, those signals can come from either the newer xHCI or the two legacy EHCI controllers which are still present on the chip. Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkAm I correctly understanding that as saying that by routing the signals separately you could create a USB3 only port that's not back compatible with USB 1/2? Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkYou're not allowed to do that according to the USB 3.0 Specification, but let's say you had an on board card reader that had a SuperSpeed USB interface, then you wouldn't necessarily be required to route a USB 2.0 signal to it as well and could use that signal for something else instead. Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkIf all the high speed signaling ports were Flex I/O ports, everyone who purchased a PC or motherboard based on that platform would be paying for an insanely large PCIe 2.0 switch with 18 downstream lanes/ports, an 18-port xHCI, and an 18-port SATA 6Gb/s controller plus 18 separate muxes to steer the desired signals to each port. I'm sure Intel would be happy to sell all that to the OEMs instead of just letting them use discrete controllers, but I seriously doubt it would end up lowering the BOM cost any. Flex I/O is just a way to keep the PCH package size down by steering features to a reduced number of balls. I'd rather be able to actually utilize all of the controllers I'm paying for.
Not all of the chipsets offer 14 USB ports, and not all of the available USB ports are necessarily routed to external connectors or headers on the logic board. Some of them are used to connect devices on the motherboard itself or other embedded features. Also, since this many ports have been available since the 5 Series, Intel can't exactly regress the feature set while AMD is still offering 14 USB ports. Reply
KAlmquist - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkWith the current "Flex IO" design, Intel implemented 20 high speed controllers (8 PCIe, 6 SATA, and 6 USB 3.0), but only provided pinouts for 18 of them, meaning that two controllers sit unused. To provide full I/O flexibility, Intel would have to implement 54 controllers (18 of each type), 36 of which would be unused. It sounds like a waste of silicon to me. Reply
gloinsir - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkThe Rear IO abuses a Renesas USB 3.0 hub to one USB 3.0 port into four, bringing the total number of USB 3.0 ports the motherboard can handle to eight.
Oh the poor Renasus abuse. Reply
celestialgrave - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkI guess I don't really see the need for wifi built into my desktop motherboard. I'd rather have the dual NICs. But I guess I can see the advantage when it comes to building a computer for mom or grandma. Reply
Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkIf you have a family, more often than not there is a central WiFi router in the house connecting to everyone. If the house/flat isn't all layed out in RJ-45, then if everyone has a computer it has to get the WiFi signal for connections. For example, I have my NAS connected via ethernet to the router, but the three systems in my office are all connected via WiFi, as well as the HTPC in the front room. Reply
plopke - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkI am still confused about what PCI-Express and M.2 supposed to be in the end for like a regular consumer? One time i read M.2 stuff and pice express will use the same protocl then other times i read articles like this that they wont work together , etc
Any change anyone has some googlde docs spreadsheet that show a table like
connecter type motherboard | protocol | protocol max speed | connecter type SSD | speed SSD | max theorictal performance | compatible Reply
Ian Cutress - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkAt this point, it is more up to the motherboard manufacturer and what they implement.
The chipset diagrams will show you how the slots are arranged, and which can be used at the expense of others. We will try and add these as we go forward.
As for protocols, it is all AHCI right now. Reply
Jon-Tech - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkI wanted to ask about USB controllers. Are all the USB 2.0 ports using one controller? Are the USB 3.0 ports on the same controller? Also from the sounds of it, the extra USB 3.0 ports are just using a hub rather than an extra controller? Due to my setup I often run into USB bandwidth issues with lots of ports on one controller. So I'm looking at motherboards that have as many as possible for more flexibility and none of the review sites ever seem to mention how many there are!
Regarding the z97 chipset, it appears that the xHCI Host Controller supports up to 6 USB 3.0 and 14 USB 2.0, this sounds like one controller. It also has two EHCI Host Controllers which support up to 14 external USB 2.0, though it doesn't look like any of the motherboards are using these. From the sounds of it this motherboard runs all the ports off the single controller? That strikes me as being daft and therefore unlikely, could you shed any light onto what the actual USB controller set up is please? I'm also unclear on how USB affects the PCIe lanes... Reply
repoman27 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkThe Z97 chipset contains one xHCI which supports 14 USB ports, up to 6 of which can be USB 3.0. It also contains 2 legacy EHCI host controllers which can be used in lieu of the xHCI for USB 2.0 ports, but there are still only external connections for 14 USB ports total.
With this board, it appears that Gigabyte has connected a motherboard header and the two back panel USB 3.0 ports above the HDMI port directly to the PCH xHCI, and then used a Renesas USB 3.0 hub chip to expand an additional PCH xHCI connection to support the other four back panel ports.
The PCH is connected to the CPU via a DMI 2.0 x4 link, which is equivalent to PCIe 2.0 x4, and thus provides a maximum of 16 Gbit/s less protocol overhead of total bandwidth for all PCH attached devices. Obviously the nominal bandwidth of just 6 USB 3.0 ports is greater than that. What isn't so obvious is how the various controllers within the PCH are connected to the PCIe bus internally. From the benchmarks I've seen of previous chipsets, it would appear that the xHCI only has the equivalent of an x2 connection. This still makes it one of the fastest USB 3.0 controllers out there since the only discrete controller I know of with an x2 back end is the Etron EJ198. Seeing as most motherboard manufacturers use discrete controllers with x1 back ends and connect them to PCIe lanes coming from the PCH, the performance generally sucks. If you need more than 785 MB/s of USB 3.0 bandwidth, you'd be better off buying a card like the HighPoint RocketU 1144C and sticking it in a slot that uses some of the PEG lanes coming from the CPU.

Jon-Tech - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkThanks repoman, you've been the most insightful into this from all the various places I've asked! That HighPoint card looks spot on though it's rather pricey, especially considering my old mobo has 3 controllers on it for the 2x USB 3.0 and 12x USB 2.0. Though I only know the amount of controllers cause I have it and can check.
Seems the only way I'm going to actually find out controllers per motherboards is to ask owners on forums to check for me. It's a really quick test that reviewers could do and its just as annoying it's never listed in the official mobo specs! Alternatively I could buy and try them out for myself though that doesn't seem practical. Reply
Adriak - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkWhy are there still (conventional) PCI slots on motherboards? Didn't they become obsolete when PCIe arrived in 2004? I understand these slots are likely added for legacy reasons, but are people still using PCI cards? What type of cards are they? Was the ISA bus supported for this long after it was effectively rendered obsolete? I am genuinely curious. Reply

peterfares - Wednesday, May 14, 2014 - linkAre people still using PCI devices on consumer boards? What could you possibly need to add that goes into PCI for home use? Reply
fluxtatic - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkSound cards. If you're not using the Asus Xonar or a Turtle Beach card, odds are good your discrete card is PCI. Reply
Luay79 - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkDo you lose the 16 lanes for the single video card if you use M2/SAta Express SSDs? Reply
DanNeely - Thursday, May 15, 2014 - linkNo. See the block diagram at the bottom of the first page. The 16 CPU lanes go to the 16x physical slots. The M2/SataExpress connectors use lanes from the southbridge. Reply

Get one of these and test all the Z97 M.2 port with it. Reply
izdlang - Wednesday, August 27, 2014 - linkSo I see on the website that there is now a revision 1.1.. I ordered a new one, and got revision 1.0. Does anyone know what the difference in the revisions are? Want to know if I should whine until I get a 1.1 vs the 1.0? Reply
swing848 - Tuesday, September 09, 2014 - linkThank you for the review. I noticed that you are still pushing Nvidia ... You are comparing an GTX 770 to an AMD HD 7970. How many people are currently purchasing HD 7970 video cards?
You could use an AMD R9 290 and an GTX 670, that would be just as fair ... come on, I know [Anand] has more than two video cards to use. This is pure Nvidia bias. Reply
