Settle An Argument
I am trying to put a few finishing touches into my Armageddon Bag (a.k.a. BoB)
and I mentioned to my wife that I wanted a medical staple gun. Of course, I got the knee jerk reaction of "No way!" and that "you can't buy those" (even though you sure can) and "only a doctor should use those"(to which I say BS).
There are a ton of good life saving wound closers, but a staple gun is cheap and effective and has more practicability than many other such items.
So the question stands: To buy a medical staple gun or to NOT buy a medical staple gun. That is the question.
What sort of Bug Out Bag are you building (a get-home bag, a bag for all contingincies, a bag to get you to a rendezvous/cache point, a 3B Bag)? Where are you bugging out to? How long do you plan on having to bug out for?
Given all of those variables, I would have to think about your plan to put that in a bag. It would take some serious convincing for me to include anything like that in a bag that I carry. I think it would be better in a cache or a bug out vehicle.
I'm talking about the "democrat zombies causing a civil war" bug bag. But it doesn't really matter. There's room, and it's a small item, and it's cheap.
A cache is just not practical for me right now, given the distances I need to travel to my getaway.
It sounds funny, but staples are better than sutures. Especially if you have to sew yourself up!!!
I believe many ob/gyns now use staples to close up c sections.
The Romans used staples to bind wounds, so it's not a new idea.
I work in a hospital.
Well, that begs the question as to whether or not a civilian can purchase said staple puller-outer tool thingy???
I simply must know now....:p
NOT endorsing any brand, or vendor (search for medical staple remover)...... but do your potential patient a favor and buy a sterile kit. Not expensive, but used haphazardly, they can be a huge source of infection.
...I get know now points for this, right?

Rick Scott's Obama bashing serves as campaign warm-up
As Gov. Rick Scott stood before a group of Realtors in Clearwater on Tuesday, he used the spike in federal flood insurance rates to do what has become his weekly mantra: blame President Barack Obama.
Nevermind that it was congressional inaction that allowed a key provision in the federal flood insurance act to take effect — despite misgivings about the unintended consequences by most of its supporters. Scott accused the president of threatening to cripple Florida's real estate recovery by failing to stop rates from rising.
In seeking reelection in 2014, Florida's Republican governor, whose favorable rating hovers below 40 percent in most polls, has found a favorite, equally vulnerable target in the nation's Democratic president.
With Obama only slightly more popular than Florida's governor, Scott loses nothing by bashing the president. And he's got plenty to gain by revving up his Republican base while winning over independents unhappy with the president.
Scott will likely square off next year against Charlie Crist, the former Republican governor who is now a Democrat. Part of his strategy will be the same one employed by Republican Marco Rubio when he defeated Crist, then an independent, in the 2010 U.S. Senate race. He must link Crist to Obama every chance he gets.
In the last month, Scott has blamed Obama for federal budget cuts to Florida's National Guard troops. He's complained about the president's failures in launching the Affordable Care Act. He's accused the administration of failing to repair the aging dike that threatens Lake Okeechobee. And he has chastised the president for failing to lead as the government headed toward a shutdown.
"The buck stops with the President. We need leadership now," Scott said in a Tweet to his 40,000 followers on Wednesday. More here.

Microsoft has made one of its most direct overtures to the open-source software community to date, in the form of an invitation to Michael Tiemann, president of the Open Source Initiative (OSI), to begin a "productive conversation." Tiemann, who is also vice president for open-source affairs at Linux distributor Red Hat, said Microsoft had contacted him as president of OSI in order to open up a top-level dialogue, according to a report in industry journal eWeek.
He said the OSI would take the offer at face value, according to the report. Tiemann has exchanged emails with the company but has not yet met anyone. Tiemann would be most likely to meet with Brad Smith, Microsoft's general counsel, who has been involved in attempting to ease relations with the open source world. Red Hat could not immediately confirm the report. The move represents part of Microsoft's latest effort in dealing with the growing popularity of open-source or "free" software, which makes source code available to anyone and isn't controlled by any single company.

Stage Left Theatre Presents Midwest Premiere of THE COWARD by Nick Jones, Now thru 10/5
Stage Left Theatre announces the upcoming Midwest premiere of The Coward written by Nick Jones and directed by Artistic Director Vance Smith. The Coward is the first production of Stage Left's 33rd season. Press opening is tonight, September 3 at 8:00 PM at Theater Wit, 1229 W Belmont. The show runs through October 5.
Lucidus is a cowardly young gentleman who has never been in a duel, to his father's dismay. When he initiates one, he then hires a common criminal to fight in his place, and the scoundrel makes a bloody mess of things. As duel follows duel with many shots fired, Lucidus finds his reputation growing beyond his wildest expectations. Set in the 1790's (sort of), The Coward is a ridiculous comedy that questions the very concept of honor.
The Coward was first produced in 2010 by Lincoln Center/LCT3. The production was nominated for 4 Lucille Lortel Awards, including Outstanding Play (Winner for Best Supporting Actress: Kristen Schaal and Best Costume Design: Gabriel Berr). The Coward is now being made into a motion picture with Big Beach/American Work. Stage Left's production is the the first since the world premiere.
In line with our mission to raise social and political debate, Stage Left offers patrons a Symposium Series for every production. Immediately following each Sunday matinee, we will invite the audience to stay for a discussion centered on a particular question raised by the performance. Admission to the Symposium Series is free, but it is recommended that attendees have seen the production in order to fully appreciate and participate in the discussion. The Coward raises debate about honor, masculinity, and the nature of violence in society.
The Coward runs Thursdays through Saturdays at 8:00pm, and Sundays at 3:00pm through 10/5/14. Tickets are $20-30 and will be available through the Theater Wit box office either online at www.theaterwit.org or by calling 773-975-8150. Press Opening is Wednesday, September 3rd at 8:00pm. Previews are Saturday, August 30th at 8:00pm; Sunday, August 31st at 3:00pm; and Tuesday, September 2nd at 8:00pm. Preview tickets are $20. The Coward will be performed at Theater Wit at 1229 W. Belmont in Chicago. The theater is handicapped and CTA accessible via the Belmont El (Red & Brown).
Nick Jones is a performer and writer for theater, television and film. His most recent play was the critically acclaimed Trevor, about a has-been show biz chimp (produced in Chicago in 2013 at A Red Orchid Theatre). His previous play The Coward was produced at Lincoln Center/LCT3, where it was nominated for 4 Lucille Lortel Awards (winning 2) and is now being made into a motion picture with Big Beach/American Work. His show Jollyship the Whiz-Bang at Ars Nova, a puppet rock musical about pirates, also received an extended critically acclaimed run, was subsequently revived for the Under the Radar Festival at the Public Theater, and was nominated by the Jim Henson Foundation for a 2011-2012 Mid Atlantic Touring grant as part of their "American Masterpieces" series. Nick was born and raised in Anchorage, Alaska. He earned his Literature/Creative Writing BA from Bard College and a Lila Acheson Wallace Playwriting degree from Juilliard, where he was a two time winner of the Lecomte du Nouy Prize. He has received theater commissions from Lincoln Center, Ars Nova, The Old Globe, Manhattan Theater Club, The Huntington, Center Theater Group and South Coast Rep. He currently works as a staff writer for the Netflix original series Orange is the New Black.
Vance Smith joined Stage Left Theatre as Artistic Director in the fall of 2009. His Stage Left credits include directing George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion (a co-production with BoHo Theatre), Beau Willimon's Farragut North, Andrew Hinderaker's Kingsville, as well as Mother Bear (LeapFest 7) and Autonomy (LeapFest 10), both by Jayme McGhan. Stage Left performance credits include A Day in the Death of Joe Egg, The Eight: Reindeer Monologues, and Fellow Travellers. Other directing credits include Another Day in the Empire, The End, and Camp Freedom! (Black Sheep Productions), Riverview (Theatre Seven of Chicago, part of The Chicago Landmark Project), and Cheaper by the Dozen (Fox Valley Repertory). As an actor Vance has worked with Steppenwolf, Mary Arrchie, Lifeline, Timeline, Hypocrites, Remy Bumppo, Northlight, Victory Gardens, Factory, and many others. He received a Jeff Nomination for best supporting actor for his performance as Lenny in The Homecoming at Mary Arrchie Theatre. Vance attended the School at Steppenwolf in 2004 and graduated from Tulane University.
The cast features Stage Left ensemble members Brian Plocharcyzk (Lucidus) and Kate Black Spence (Isabelle) with guest artists Steve Schine (Henry), Steve Walker (Father), Robert McLean (Friedmont), Ian McLaren (Gavin), Spenser Davis (Robert), and Eric Leonard (Earl)
The staff includes SLT company members Katherine Arfken (scenic design), Emmaline Keddy-Hector (production management), Jason A. Fleece (dialect coach) and Brian Plocharcyzk (fight choreography), with guest artists Claire Nelson (stage manager), Julian Pike (lighting design), Aly Rene Amidei (costume design), Alex Romberg, (sound design), Jeff Shields (properties master), and Skye Robinson Hillis (dramaturgy).

[MIA] Missing in Action - Silver Rambo
Neil Lewis
Missing in Action - Silver Rambo
It is with deep regrets that the Royal Navy announces that Silver Rambo has been MIA/AWOL for over 2 months, and is close to being presumed edead.
After confirming that he is not Sambo112 in disguise [but the issue of the eUniverse imploding if both of them are on IRC at the same time is still a possibility] we recall that he left on a private mission into the jungle better known as "Real Life" [but to misquote Queen it may just be a fantasy realm]. Of course we have no idea what this mission entailed as the subtitle machine exploded trying to translate his Italiano-New York accent, but there was a mumbled "Adrien" or two which leads us to believe that he had an identity crisis at the time and briefly responded to the name "Rocky".
If anyone knows how to contact him, please direct him home to the Royal Navy as each ship has a bunk reserved in his name.
Thank you for your time.

Establishment Media Guide To "White Hispanic"
Trayvon Martin, 17, was shot last month in the town of Sanford, Florida by neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman, who has claimed self defense and has not been charged.
The Trayvon Martin death at the apparent hands of a neighborhood watch individual named George Zimmerman has become a most troubling episode in American media culture. It reveals what happens when facts are over-run, unimportant, and only selected deaths of young black men are important when it seems to rise to the level of political exploitation by the forces that support a liberal, divide and control mentality. Under this view, in order to keep government front and center in the minds of all Americans, American unity must be broken down and marginalized so that we may never recognize each others value as an individual ... but only value a single person to their value toward the advancement of a single group in the eyes of, and favorable treatment by, governmental powers and laws, alive or dead.
To this end, the New York Times decided to describe George Zimmerman as a "White Hispanic", a term that on its face has hardly ever been used to describe a person's ethnic heritage. Rush Limbaugh's staff performed a nexis/lexis search of New York Times articles that may have used the term before and could only find three previous references of this nature in the paper's publishing history ... very telling on how this establishment media outlet wishes to promote the liberal, divide and control mentality.
In order to educate the establishment media on skin color and bring a little American-natured levity to an ugly situation that involves race and color, conservative Hispanic blogger and cartoonist, el SOOPer @SooperMexican, posted this graphic to help guide some to proper conclusions for their articles.

The Sooper Guide to "White Hispanic" Skin Color for the Gringo Media!
Date: 3/26/2012
It's amazing the lengths of race-baiting that the Leftist Liberal News Media Industrial Complex will go to in order to re-elect their savior, Obama. They're going so far as to call a Hispanic man "White Hispanic" in order to incite a race war! How tolerant and inclusive of them.
Well, I thought I'd help them out and give them this easy to understand guide to classifying Hispanic skin colors!

Other points that were made while reading 140 character (or less) "Tweets" from Twitter ranged from:
"Why is it that the ONLY photo of Trayvon Martin is of a 13 yr. old boy and not the 17 yr. old grown male? Jus' askin' #tcot #tlot #p2"
"If Zimmerman is White and Obama is Black, race must be pat-ri-lo-cal only."

Jamion Christian professes his love for Mount St. Mary's, and the love was reciprocated late last week.
The school and its men's basketball coach agreed on a multi-year contract extension, locking Christian in through the 2026-27 season.
Christian, a former Mountaineers player and team captain under legendary coach Jim Phelan, took over as coach in 2012 and instilled his "Mount Mayhem" style of play which relies on pressure defense and a penchant for 3-point shooting.
The combination has led the Mount to NCAA tournament appearances in 2014 and 2017, the Mount's first NCAA tourney win since 2008, Northeast Conference championships in 2014 and 2017, and the honor...

Well its the least they could do
NBA Tells Teams to Pay Ticket Refunds Plus Interest in Labor Work Stoppage
By Mason Levinson - Mar 28, 2011 10:30 AM ET
Business ExchangeBuzz up!DiggPrint Email .National Basketball Association season-ticket holders will receive refunds plus interest if games are canceled because of a labor dispute next season, in contrast to the National Football League, which has said its up to clubs to decide how to handle deposits.
While both leagues have told fans that theyll get their money back for tickets to lost games, the NBA will also pay interest on what could amount to loans to franchises from fans, Mike Bass, a spokesman for the NBA, said in a telephone interview. The NFL is letting its clubs set their own policies. At least one team, the Chicago Bears, is not offering interest.
Whether interest payments are addressed at the league or team level should be of less concern than how fans are treated overall, said David Carter, executive director of the Sports Business Institute at the University of Southern California.
Individual fans will be made more than whole by the teams, directly or indirectly, or these franchises will face an extraordinary community relations backlash, Carter said in a telephone interview.
The NFL shut down on March 12 following the expiration of its collective bargaining agreement with players, putting the 2011 season in jeopardy. The NBAs agreement with its players union expires June 30.
The interest rate on NBA tickets will be set by the league before games are potentially canceled. The league hasnt determined when interest will begin to accrue.
Team Options
Teams can also offer their own options, such as leaving deposits on account in exchange for future tickets.
The Golden State Warriors are guaranteeing a 5 percent interest payment on season-ticket renewals for 2011-2012 received by April 13.
The Miami Heat offered season-ticket holders an option to receive discounted 2011 playoff tickets and a 5 percent payment in exchange for keeping renewal deposits in a Heat account rather than seeking a refund should there be a work stoppage. A six-month certificate of deposit offers about a 1 percent return, according to bankrate.com.
The Heat last week said it had sold all its season tickets and that 97 percent of those renewing chose the team option over what the league will offer, said Kim Stone, an executive vice president for the team.
The NBAs decision to at least guarantee interest payments is just good business practice, Stone said in a telephone interview.
We are a fan-friendly league and what the NBA was trying to do was develop a fan-friendly policy in the event of a work stoppage, Stone said.
NFL Policy
While the NFL mandated a leaguewide refund policy, the clubs wanted to be responsible for the execution, Brian McCarthy, a spokesman for the league, said in an e-mail.
Jim Christman, a spokesman for the Bears, confirmed the teams plans in an e-mail while declining to comment further.
When you think about the amount of money involved in giving interest over what is hoped to be a short period of time, they would lose so many more millions of dollars in bad publicity if they didnt take care of those fans, USCs Carter said.
The NBA also offered refunds with interest during the 204- day lockout that ended in January 1999. That season was shortened to 50 games from 82, the only time games were missed because of a work stoppage in league history.

The Fairfield Police Department will host a prescription medication take-back event next month to help keep excess medication from falling into the wrong hands.
Police are partnering with the Fairfield Alcohol, Tobacco, and Other Drugs (ATOD) Taskforce for the event, which will take place from 9:30 a.m. to 1:30 p.m. June 8 "to protect our children and our environment," officials reported.
The medication take-back is open to all Solano County residents who can bring their unused or expired medications and drop them off at the Fairfield Police Department lobby, 1000 Webster St.
Police are accepting all unused, expired or recalled medications, both labeled and unlabeled, as well as liquid, solid or cream medications, including both prescription or over-the-counter medications.
The event will not accept needles, EpiPen injectors, syringes or sharps.
It's not necessary to remove the medication from its container.
Participants dropping off their medications will receive a gift card, while supplies last.
The prescription medication "take back" is made possible through a grant and funds received from the Solano County Board of Supervisors, Reducing Rates Coalition and the Fairfield-Suisun Sewer District.

X Factor judges working harder than ever - Louis Walsh
X Factor judge Louis Walsh has said this year's judges are working harder than ever before.
Walsh, who is mentoring the boys, said: "I think in the early years... we didn't have to work as hard but now we have to really properly mentor.
"We have to be on it because if anything goes wrong it's our fault and for these kids, it's their big chance."
Nicole Scherzinger, Gary Barlow and Sharon Osbourne are the other judges on the show.
Walsh, 61, said that the judges took their role seriously.
"You don't even have to win to get a record deal," he said.
"This could change the contestants' lives. If you're good on this, you get a record deal."
The talent show mentor also repeated comments saying that there are no lazy judges this year.
"Nicole, Gary and Sharon work very, very hard," he added.
"Simon [Cowell] is expecting ratings - it's all about the ratings with him and he likes to see everybody working hard."
This year's X Factor has seen the return of Sharon Osbourne to the judging panel, which Walsh says he has enjoyed.
"She's fun and she made everyone else have fun," he said. "Gary is laughing. He's never laughed before."
At judges' houses, viewers saw Luke Friend, Nicholas McDonald and Sam Callahan go through to the live shows.
However, Walsh was criticised by fans on Twitter after he told contestant Paul Akister that he hadn't made his final three.
"I want him to come back next year," said Walsh.
"It happened with Alexandra Burke. She was in my judges' home. I sent her home, she came back and she won."
Unlike previous series, there is no novelty act in this year's final 12.
"I always like an act like a Wagner or Rylan [Clark]," Walsh admitted. "They are always good fun on the show.
"Everyone wants to be a bit more serious this year but I kind of love those funny acts."

Evaluating the Relative Impact of Fiscal Incentives and Trade Policies on the Returns to Manufacturing in Taiwan, 1955-1995
In the present paper, an integrated cash flow model is developed to examine the relative impact of tax incentives, financial subsidies, and macroeconomic variables on the profitability of industrial investments. It allows for the variables in the model to interact with each other. An application of the model is carried out for Taiwan, which has implemented a variety of fiscal incentives over the past 40 years. The principal policy conclusion is that trade and macroeconomic policies are much more important than income tax incentives or subsidized finance policies in determining the success of Taiwan's industrialization process. The effects of all of the fiscal incentives are found to be much smaller than those of the trade policies or the fundamental trends in macroeconomic variables such as the movement of the real exchange rate and the real wage rate.

so that's a change of circumstances notification to all subscribers and chance visitors: i've now moved my virtual presence to a quicker and freer space, running an earlier version of the great WP system.
unfortunately, no option to have subscribers from there (no earlier jetpack pack – keep those old legacy sw versions, everyone, i'm telling you :) which probably 'means' that simply keeping one's eyes and ears peeled, without a fixed 'contract', makes more sense than subscription based 'hooks'.
likewise, i'm confirming my own 'policy' with the meanwhile established monetary thinking behind draft and also introduce two separate parallel payment options, as you can see above.
best wishes and see you soon – either online or for real :)

Obama began very nervously. His reference to his anniversary should have been a home run; his delivery was limp and got a poor response. He is less fluent than Romney at explaining complicated points. Where he is fluent, he seems to be remembering a model answer from rehearsal. He's not obviously failing, but he's certainly not sounding like someone who's been president for four years.
Romney began very strongly; he wobbles occasionally when he gets anxious and speeds up. When he remembers to go slow, he's effective. Romney is good at making positive points, but he's better at responding to the president's arguments. He sounds genuinely knowledgeable about the points at issue — his response on the oil and gas industry was terrific. He needs to restrain his aggression very slightly, but in general he is sounding authoritative.
It's early days, but so far Romney is ahead on points.

I know Tom Lane has done some work on pg_upgrade -- the last message was on 8/2/99, and left the thread hanging. What is the current status of pg_upgrade in 6.5.x?? I ask because the presence of a working pg_upgrade drastically reduces the work necessary to get postgresql upgrading working prpoerly in an RPM environment. I particular, the upgrade from RedHat 6.0 to RedHat 6.1 is going to be from postgresql 6.4.2 to 6.5.1. I do not forsee anyone successfully upgrading a RedHat 5.x installation to 6.1, as other things will break -- although I could be entirely wrong. If pg_upgrade is hopelessly broken in 6.5.x, that's ok -- just means a little more work. Lamar Owen WGCR Internet Radio

text: okay, just heard some very interesting stuff regarding where the raiders stand right now. basically, there are three players oakland is targeting with the #1 pick: - adrian peterson - brady quinn - jamarcus russell don't know who's first or last on the list, so i alphabatized it. randy moss and jerry porter are going nowhere, so calvin johnson is out of the mix--for now. using my brain and looking at al davis' history, i'd love to say that both QB's are completely out of the question. it's just not that easy though, is it? i still think ultimately they go with peterson, simply because he's a more rare talent than either russell or quinn, and i think the success of 2-back systems in the NFL will inspire davis to adopt a system with peterson and jordan toting the pill to take pressure off of his new QB Troy Smith. yep, the raiders like Troy Smith--a LOT. he's #3 on their QB board right now, and al seems to have a thing for Heisman winners....hmm. i'm thinking they go Peterson round one, and toss the dice in round 2 and take Smith. his leadership, strong arm and athletic ability are all big draws. take it for what ya will, naturally. i'm willing to trust this source. for now. because things change every day. in fact, this was told to me in an email i got 3 days ago that i didn't check till now, so who knows, it could all be different now....stay tuned.

High Quality Radiant Barriers and Reflective Insulation for Your Home
Before Installation
After Installation
Our reflective attic foil and radiant barrier technology can be installed in your attic to reflect heat. This means that in the winter, as heat rises and escapes a home through the attic, Think Smart's reflective insulation will reflect that heat back into the home. Conversely, in the summer, as the heat from the sun radiates into the attic, Think Smart's reflective insulation will reflect that heat back out. The results are a warmer home in the winter and a cooler home in the summer.
The technology behind Think Smart's reflective insulation was actually developed years ago by NASA. As they searched for ways to protect the astronauts from temperatures ranging from -273 degrees to +238 degrees Celsius, NASA found that a thin sheet of aluminum foil radiant barrier would do the same job as a seven-foot thick piece of conventional insulation.
- Stop up to 97% of radiant heat transfer in your home.
- Reduce your heating and cooling costs by up to 40%.
- Extend the life of your heating system and duct work.
- Start seeing immediate savings!!!!

I make this every time I sign up to take a friend dinner. I wanted to share how incredibly easy it is…and it is always much appreciated!
The key to this being EASY…for you and for the recipient is to use a foil roasting pan. A deep square one is best. Preheat 450 oven.
Roughly chop up carrots and onion (if you have celery you could use that instead) Basically you are using the veggies as a "bed" for the chicken to sit on. They allow the juices to drain and also allow the chicken to not be sitting directly on the bottom of the pan.
Place the chicken on the veggies and pat it dry. (be sure to take out the giblet and neck sac inside the chicken) You can use that to make stock so I just place it in the fridge in case I want to make stock later.
Rub the chicken with a coat of canola oil….then sprinkle with poultry seasoning (or just salt and pepper) Let the chicken bake at 450 for 1 hour and 25 minutes (for about a 5-6 lbs chicken)
For the last 35 minutes of cooking, toss in some cut up red potatoes (splashed with olive oil and rosemary). Place them on the sides of the chicken and let them cook right in the same pan.
After it cooks up…you take it out of the oven and cover with foil. Deliver it to your friend….she will thank you :) Goes great with a salad or maybe fresh green beans!

Oscars 2013: Seth MacFarlane & Emma Stone to Announce Nominations, Please Everyone
How do you get everyone revved and ready for Oscars season? Get two groups of people who make up all Americans: people who love Family Guy and those inescapably charmed by Emma Stone (also known as "everyone else"). Oscar host Seth MacFarlane and actress Emma Stone will announce this year's Oscar nominations live on Jan. 10 at 8:30 AM ET.
And yes, it's strange that the Oscar host is also co-hosting the nominations ceremony. This hasn't happened since Charlton Heston became the first Oscars show host to announce the nominations as well in 1972. (Which means this choice of nomination-announcers will also please fans of once-in-a-lifetime moments such as spying Halley's Comet.)
The year will also break the tradition of having the Academy president announce the nominations with a celebrity co-host. It seems that this is just one of the measures the Academy is taking to jazz up the entire Oscars process in 2013, likely to combat the prevailing notion that the Oscars have gotten boring. Just last week, the Academy announced that longtime Oscar pariah James Bond would get his due with a tribute during the 85th Oscars and placing MacFarlane as the host was a dose of audience-widening appeal.
But will it work? Is all this fancy footwork getting you pumped for the Oscars on Feb. 24?

A sequel to the critically acclaimed Hotline Miami is on the way, the game's creator Jonatan "Cactus" Söderström has revealed.
Posting on Twitter, Söderström wrote: "Working while listening to the sweet tunes of a preliminary Hotline Miami 2 soundtrack that we've put together during the weekend."
It's not currently clear if Hotline Miami composer Jasper Byrne will return for the sequel, but Söderström did Tweet to say the team would "love to see whatever else [Byrne] can come up with :)".
Don't expect to see the sequel anytime soon, however.
"Just want to make it clear that we're still working on fixing Hotline Miami, we haven't actually started working on anything new yet!" Tweeted Söderström.
"We only have some general plans for the next game."

Living Legacy | February 16 - March 1, 2014
Scaffold Room
Living Legacy artist, Ralph Lemon returned to MANCC to work on Scaffold Room, the newest chapter in a decade-long narrative linking Lemon and a group of artistic collaborators in New York City with a community in rural Mississippi. Scaffold Room is Lemon's latest experiment with the boundaries of form and presentation, merging dance with visual installation. Performed with a live DJ, two dancers/actors and video projections featuring a third actor, Scaffold Room takes the form of a "performance-lecture-musical" within a confined, built environment.
At MANCC, Lemon was able to develop the video and sound elements of Scaffold Room, including sessions in the School of Dance recording studio. He worked with dramaturg, Katherine Profeta to refine the thematic and text components. Lemon also worked with long time collaborator and MANCC Choreographic Fellow, Okwui Okpokwasili and performer April Matthis. Together Matthis, Okpokwasili and Edna Carter on video (the wife of the late Walter Carter, a former sharecropper who lived his entire life in Bentonia, MS), represent three women who act out and play into assumptions about prevailing cultural body-politics. They enact iconic and imagined figures with sources drawn from popular culture, speculative fiction and history, including Beyoncé, Moms Mabley, Amy Winehouse and Kathy Acker.
Lemon shared a work-in-progress showing with School of Dance students and faculty near the end of the residency. FSU School of Theater gradaute student Matt Pedersen assisted Lemon with costuming concepts and School of Dance senior and MANCC intern, Kristen Bernier, spent the period of Lemon's residency serving as a studio assistant. Read more about Bernier's experience under Entrypoints.
Scaffold Room will premiere at The Walker Art Center in September 26-28, 2014

Fox's hubby: Megan's the only one for me
Megan Fox's hubby, Brian Austin Green, says the couple have never slept with other people despite claims that their six-year romance has been on-off.
After marrying the Transformers beauty in a secret Hawaiian beach ceremony in June, the former Beverly Hills 90210 actor says he's happy for his wife to wear the pants, too.
'Find a picture of one of us with any other boyfriend or girlfriend' I challenge you,' said the 37-year-old.
More: Megan Fox secretly marries Brian Austin Green in Hawaii
'You'll only find pictures of her doing press with [co-star] Shia LaBeouf or me with my son. That's it. We never once dated anyone else or did anything else.'
The US star said he was happy for Fox, 24, to take the limelight but said she would be happy if the attention ever shifted to him.
'I know the normal male thing is the man works and is successful and brings home the paycheck. I don't know who the hell set it up but it's what people expect,' he told Details magazine.
'I just don't care. Next year I could book some crazy movie that blows up and things could shift completely.'

There were six Simi Valley female student-athletes signing their national letters of intent Wednesday in the Simi Valley library and it was a case of six degrees of separation among them, from their days playing youth soccer together to all competing in the same track and field program at one point in their careers.
Although the central figure of the decorated senior class was Oregon-bound Sarah Baxter, a four-time state cross country champion and two-time Nike Cross Nationals individual winner, she was just content to be one of the girls while celebrating and reminiscing with fellow track and field teammates Charlotte Utash (Long Beach State) and Madisen Richards (USC).
Baxter and Richards both played 7-under youth soccer together and were sitting side by side in a row of signees that included soccer standouts Morgan Bertsch (Cal State Fullerton), Amanda Woodhouse (Cal State Stanislaus) and Taylor Cross (Haverford).
"It's really exciting to see the before and after. It's so cute," Baxter said.
Bertsch then went out after the ceremony and helped Simi Valley post an important Marmonte League win over Newbury Park.
"All of us were actually on the track team, even though three of them were signing for soccer, so it's really cool to all be together," Richards said. "I've been looking forward to (signing day) since I was a freshman and it's finally here. I can't describe how I feel right now. I'm so excited to be a Trojan and excited for the things to come."
Baxter, a three-time state 3,200-meter champ, joined Stockdale of Bakersfield's Blake Haney and Long Beach Poly's Ariana Washington as the centerpieces of Oregon's impressive track and field recruiting class.
"I know Blake Haney and (Don Bosco Prep's) Kyle Levermore are going and I'm really excited to see them and I've heard of Ariana Washington, so that's pretty cool that she's going there too," Baxter said.
Along with Baxter, Utash was instrumental in Simi Valley winning its first Division II state cross country title in the fall.
"It was great being able to look at colleges and finally just find the right one that was right for me," Utash said. "It was great to see that they had a really good cross country and track team that's only going to get better from here."
Crespi thrower Amir Ali Patterson and Oak Park distance runner Sahm Bazargan signed with UCLA, Notre Dame thrower Ginika Iwuchukwu is headed to Cal and Alemany hurdling standout Skylin Harbin signed with Tulane, all during on-campus ceremonies.
It was a big day for Real So Cal soccer club's 18-under and 17-under teams, which featured El Camino Real's Madison Lipton (Rider), Peyton Cline (Fresno State) and Leslie Ramirez (Georgia State), along with Westlake's Nicole Molen (USC) and Sarah Ishikawa (Seattle).
Notre Dame had a total of 11 athletes sign, including Real So Cal 18-under member Michelle Rockey (Oregon), along with Knights teammates Raven Small (College of St. Rose) and Emily Weisman (Bard College).
Oaks Christian soccer teammates Abby King (Oregon), Kerry Manion (Columbia) and Allie Bruder (USC) were part of another strong Lions class that included decathlete Zack Bornstein (UCLA) and fellow track and field athletes Asha Culhane (Cal) and Malik Cyphers (Portland State, along with basketball players Aleksandr Abrams (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) and Jordan Flannery (UC San Diego).
Harvard-Westlake's Mckynzie Dickman (Creighton), Mackenzie Howe (Northwestern), Lucy Putnam (Williams) and Malanna Wheat (SMU) — all Real So Cal 17-under members — signed as well. Wolverines distance runner Lizzy Thomas confirmed her decision to attend Harvard.
Sierra Canyon career scoring leader Jessica Fogel, who plays for Real So Cal coach Kristy Walker in high school and club, signed with Pacific. Canyon's Sarah Cipperley is headed to play soccer at Utah Valley University.
Moorpark's Dana Fujikuni (UC Davis), Chaminade's Brittney McKinney (UC Santa Barbara), Newbury Park's Ella Dederick (Washington State), Valencia's Becca Harrison (Wisconsin), Malibu's Jane Sidley (Vermont), Royal's Kelsea Matthews (Oregon State), Thousand Oaks' Alison Neveu (Amherst) and West Ranch's Taylor Ayers (Pacific) were Real So Cal athletes who also signed.
Flintridge Sacred Heart Academy's Casey Basso signed to play soccer at Houston Baptist and Tologs swimmer Katie Altmayer is headed to Dartmouth.
"I was so nervous I thought I sent the wrong form," Basso said. "But it is pretty hard to do that."
Hart had another significant class, including Real So Cal's Destinney Duron (Cal State Northridge) and Indians teammates Sophia Cortes (UNLV) and Georgie Nielsen (Southern Oregon), along with swimmer Emma Osowski (Oregon State) and baseball player Caleb Bay (Gordon College).
Led by Patterson, Crespi had an impressive group, including distance runner Warren Bonilla (Cal State Monterey Bay) and soccer teammates Keenan Casey (Dominican College) and Aleks Berkolds (San Diego State).
Alemany's Miguel Acevedo signed to play soccer at UC Davis, with Notre Dame's Matt Marcelino going to Vassar and Knights teammate Scott Marquardt choosing Grove City College.
Camarillo sprinter Ahmed Obed is headed to Harvard, with Westlake's Sean O'Bryan (Air Force) and Mikey Giguere (Cal Poly San Luis Obispo) also signing.

Red-Eyed tree Frog skin can inhibit HIV virus

Red-Eyed tree Frog skin can inhibit HIV virus
Red-Eyed tree Frog skin can inhibit HIV virus
A little red-eyed frog could hold the key to ending the scourge of AIDS.
Scientists have found that a chemical in the skin of the Australian red-eyed tree frog can block infection by HIV - the virus that causes AIDS - by destroying the viral particles.
They hope further research could lead to an "after-exposure" lotion to protect against HIV and AIDS.
The chemical is part of the frog's defences. Special glands on their skin produce and store packets of the compound, which is released when they are injured or alarmed and acts to protect them from infection by killing fungi, bacteria and viruses.
The ability to target HIV was discovered when researchers at Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee, decided to investigate whether the chemical was effective against viruses that infect humans.
In tests using human immune system cells, the chemical killed HIV particles but left the immune cells unharmed. It is thought to work by damaging the membrane of each viral particle, either by punching holes which cause it to fall apart, or through a "detergent effect" which breaks apart fatty molecules in the membrane.
Research leader Dr Scott Van-Compernolle said: "There are lots of substances which destroy viruses but the trick is finding one that doesn't also destroy the membrane of our cells. That is why these frog peptides http://www.lookchem.com/cas-545/54577-99-0.htmlare unique."
Further tests showed the chemical could stop the virus being passed between cells, thus blocking infection. The scientists infected cells with HIV, treated them with the frog chemical and then exposed them to healthy cells. The virus appeared to have vanished.
They hope it will be possible to develop a cream to target infected cells. Dr Van-Compernolle said: "It seems it would work really well in just the way the frogs use it - as a cream. We envisage something prophylactic so if you were exposed to HIV through unprotected sex, you could use this cream or a suppository to give you a fairly high dose of the proteins in the region where you thought the virus might be."
It could still be effective if used hours after exposure. "We showed you can successfully treat the infected cells up to eight hours after they were exposed to the virus," said Dr VanCompernolle. "The virus has already got in those cells but this is still able to block the infection." The scientists have now won a grant from the American Foundation for AIDS Research to continue the work. Its director of research, Dr Rowena Johnston, said no creams exist which could be applied to the body after exposure to HIV.
But she added: "The first generation of these products is now not far from being developed. They could be applied prior to sex or perhaps taken in the same way as the contraceptive pill.
Re: Red-Eyed tree Frog skin can inhibit HIV virus
This is silly - soap will inactivate the virus quite well. Let's hope these selfpromotional folks' 15 minutes of BS about tree frogs is over.

A deck is an outdoor living area or an extension of your living space. However, if your deck is out in the open and exposed to the neighbors, nearby roads or businesses, it may not feel like that. Enclosing the deck will provide privacy, but this can be expensive. Creating a living privacy screen with plants is an alternative to constructing walls or fences. Choose the best plants suited for screening depending on your location and desires.

Make a drawing of the deck and privacy fence that includes the dimensions and growing environment, such as soil conditions and sunlight received. Use this information to select the plants best suited for the privacy fence.
Grow plants in containers lined along the barriers of the deck, if the growing conditions surrounding the deck are unsuitable or there is no other option.
Use large planters to grow evergreen trees and shrubs suited for container-growing, such as junipers, cypress or arborvitae, to create screening year round. Select larger trees for instant privacy or smaller plants that will grow into screening through the season.
Grow flowering shrubs, such as lantana, roses and hibiscus, along the edge of the deck or in containers for privacy through the summer that also adds a touch of beauty and fragrance from the blossoms.
Erect a trellis that is connected to the deck or in combination with a pergola or arbor to use for fast-growing vines that will quickly create a privacy wall and ceiling. Another option for ceiling coverage without a pergola is to run wires, chains or wood from posts or trellises for the vines to grow across.
Choose annual vines, such as scarlet runner beans and morning glories, or perennials, such as honeysuckle and clematis or other varieties suited for your location. Always connect the support securely to ensure it handles the overall weight of the vines.
Select bamboo or tall grasses to create deck screening in areas that require tall plants but lack planting room. Other options for compact growing spots include tall shrubs such as lilacs, serviceberry and viburnums.
Tips & Warnings
- Be sure to check the tag on the tomato plants to see how tall they grow. You will want the tall variety.
- When buying plants or flowers to hang make sure that they are suited for the amount of sun or shade the deck experiences.
- Inexpensive plastic planters can be purchased at your local home store.
- Although this solution creates a great sitting area on your deck, it is only good for the tomato growing season. If you live in an area where the weather permits use of the deck year round you may want to use other greenery.
- Move container plants indoors or protect them through the winter in areas with freezing temperatures.

PLEASANTON — A veteran tennis coach accused of sexually molesting young female students had his bail increased Tuesday after an additional charge was filed.
Henry John Germain, 62, of Dublin had his $1.08 million bail raised by $60,000 by Judge Hugh Walker on Tuesday after a 16th molestation count was brought against him on Friday.
Alameda County Deputy District Attorney Susan Torrence had asked Walker to increase bail to $3 million because of the additional count and also because, she said, police had discovered four or five additional victims.
The 16 counts are based on the reports of six former students. Torrence told the court that no charges can be brought in the cases of the four or five newly discovered others because too much time had passed and the statute of limitations had run out in those incidents.
"This is a serious offense with prior victims," Torrence told the court, making her case for higher bail. "This is an ongoing behavior that goes back so many years."
Elizabeth Grossman, Germain's attorney, said that she had not seen any evidence or report of the unnamed victims for whom the statute of limitations had expired.
Germain, who taught at Castlewood Country Club in Pleasanton since 1992, had been released on $1.08 million bail on Sept. 24. He was rearrested Sept. 26 at the Berkeley Police Department after Grossman became aware of the new charge.
Dressed in a red Alameda County Jail jumpsuit in court on Tuesday,
Germain sat behind the glass holding area and did not address the court.
Walker agreed to the $60,000 increase in bail and ordered Germain to have no contact with anyone younger than 18 without supervision. Germain, who was scheduled to enter a plea but did not, was ordered back to Alameda County Superior Court in Pleasanton on Oct. 22.
He is being held at Santa Rita Jail in Dublin.
Germain was originally charged with 15 child molestation charges involving girls from age 9 to 12. The most recent accusation involves a 2004 incident with a girl between 9 and 12 years old.
Investigators say the investigation started after three women in their late teens and early 20s wrote letters to Castlewood Country Club saying they had been abused by Germain.
The letters were turned over to the Alameda County Sheriff's Office.
Investigators say molestation incidents occurred as far back as 1980 in Southern California.
The allegations against Germain range from inappropriate touching to pinning one girl in a corner at his home and touching her while playing a pornographic video.

Lonesome Onry and Mean: Sideman Supreme Rick Shea Hits the Mucky Duck
Rick Shea is one of the most in-demand sidemen in the Los Angeles area. Seven years on the road with Dave Alvin certainly boosted Shea's profile outside the L.A./SoCal scene, but the Alvin gig is only one of many. Shea cut his teeth in the truck stops and roadhouses in his native San Bernardino and has played with Angeleno psychedelic country faves I See Hawks In L.A., eclectic Mexican roots band Tremoloco, honky-tonk angel Heather Myles and about anyone else who needs a guy as handy with a lap steel as he is with a Telecaster.
Along the way, Shea has managed to record five albums of his own, a stellar honky-tonk duets album with Patty Booker, and an old timey roots album with fiddle ace Brantley Kearns. Shea has just released Shelter Valley Blues, his latest solo effort, and it picks up with the same dry desert sound that made his 2000 release Sawbones such a stellar effort.
Shea will be joined by songwriter Mike Stinson, who has just moved to Houston from Los Angeles. Stinson and Shea go way back, so this should be a fine writers-in-the-round show.
6 p.m., Sunday, October 4, at McGonigel's Mucky Duck, 2425 Norfolk, 713-528-5999 or www.mcgonigels.com.

Henry Ford OptimEyes By Staff Monday, June 17, 2013 12:00 AM RELATED CONTENT The Sphere of Influence Award Henry Ford OptimEyes Madison Heights, Mich. www.henryfordoptimeyes.com CEO, Henry Ford Health System: Nancy M. Schlichting HEALING AND HOPE The Sphere of Influence Award was granted to Henry Ford OptimEyes in 2012 due to their consistent dedication to bringing grieving children positive experiences. The Michigan-based retailer helps to raise money to send girls and boys who are grieving or troubled to one of two healing camps—Camp Erin, for children who have lost a family member or friend, and Camp Maplegrove, for those dealing with a caregiver's substance abuse, mental illness or other chronic stress. "The healing impact of camp is powerful," said Peggy Nielsen, director of Camp Erin. "You can see the growth as it happens when the campers face their grief, support each other and learn lifelong coping skills." The camp is an extension of SandCastles, a biweekly program open to the community at large which is sponsored by Henry Ford Hospice. Geri Hulvey, an optometric technician at Henry Ford OptimEyes who volunteers with Camp Erin, spoke highly of the program. "It helps kids deal with their grief, find closure and gain hope. It helps them know they are not alone," Hulvey said. Henry Ford OptimEyes has been passionate about the program since first joining the initiative in 2009. As of 2012, the submission said, employees had raised close to $50,000 and sent more than 150 children to the camps. ■

I am 12 days out from a Tummy Tuck, and I still have one drain in. I am 5'4" and 120 pounds. I've had two pregnancies, the most recent was twins by c-section 18 months ago. My stomach was firm and protruding above the belly button area from diastasis. The area above my belly button, my biggest concern, looks great. But my incision site looks like a ledge and seems to be raised about an inch off my abdomen than what would look natural. Could this be swelling? Can this improve? Is it too early to be concerned?
Puffy and Raised Tummy Tuck Incision
Doctor Answers 4
Tummy Tuck Scar
Fullness at the incision this early after surgery may be due to normal post-operative swelling and the closure technique and suture choice used by your surgeon.
Time is on your side! It may take 6 months to a full year for swelling to subside completely.
Good luck with your recovery!
Dr. C
Abdominopalsty scar
At 12 days post surgery, the ledge you are feeling at the incision closure may be swelling. Hard to say without an exam.

Way too early to worry... and the ridge you see will probably work to your advantage later
Hi there-
The ridge that it sounds like you have is most likely from the suturing technique used at the time of your surgery, and is done in order to take the tension of the closure off of your skin. This usually results in a more inconspicuous, fine line scar.
Scar maturation takes a long time (up to a year), but your scar should start to improve soon, and continue to improve over that time.
Don't be worried. Keep all of your appointments, and follow your surgeon's advice carefully.
Congratulations on your new shape!

Raised Tummy Tuck incision could be swelling-related
You are early and this could be swelling-related, but show your surgeon to be sure. Does your surgeon have you in a tight garment? Did you have liposuction along with your TT surgery? Lipo can make things swell before they shrink down.

If not last year hopefully everyone in 2013 has the opportunity to travel and explore the world. A new space provides a new perspective. Ideas and concepts that don't typically enter your thought process are ignited when you experience other cultures and new ways of being. Nonetheless, your home life should also be invigorating. Ones personal space should equally inspire and drive home that point that there's no place like home. Great furniture helps. Pieces like this new sofa from Japanese designer Kei Harada fuse comfort and style extremely well.
The alluring white sofa, believe it or not, was inspired by marshmallows. Made from orbs, the couch features styrofoam covered with two types of unique urethane foam and stretchable material joined together by wooden frames. Allowing for a multitude of sitting positions, if the O'Keeffe is any bit as comfortable as it looks, it's certainly a winner. Check it out below.

ST. PETERSBURG — Police accused a 48-year-old man of trying to stab a friend to death after the man apparently took his wife's side in a marital dispute.
Eric Arnold Lee, 1845 29th St. S,, stabbed 61-year-old Charlie Will Lang at least three times in the back in the Friday night argument, said police spokesman Mike Puetz.
About 9:40 p.m., Lee was driving his friend in a 2002 blue Ford pickup. Lang was trying to talk to Lee about some of Lee's marital problems. The two men started arguing and Lee became angry, police said
Lee pulled the truck over at Mystic gas station, 1501 34th St. S, and Lang got out of the vehicle. Then the two men start fighting and rolling around on the ground. At some point, Lee pulled out a 6-inch kitchen knife and stabbed Lang multiple times in the back, police said.
Lee then fled the area in the pickup truck.
Lang was taken to Bayfront Medical Center with serious injuries.
Police arrested Lee on Monday as he was coming out of a home at 1906 29th St. S. He faces a charge of third-degree attempted murder. He was being held Tuesday at the Pinellas County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail.
Police said he admitted to stabbing Lang. He said he was drunk and he thought his friend was taking his wife's side in the argument

It's so simple and user-friendly . Just give a try you'll like it.
I also provide Magento consulting services, if you need please contact me.
Regards, Giao
Great theme. I cant find the documentation on this.
Please mail me to firstname.lastname@example.com. I will send you the documentation via email.
Hi I sent you an email. I really need to get started on this, so if you could please mail me the documentation, it would be very much appreciated.
Hello TVLGIAO , I sent you an email just now but somehow it was rejected. I sent it from gmail as well. I purchased your theme this morning, not sure if I will be able to install it properly as I am not familiar with Magento at all. However my biggest concern is the fonts. I am a Chinese and I will need to translate all the templates into Chinese once it is installed. Is there anyway you can modify the css file and make sure the sizes are proper for Chinese characters, and add it as an option? ChocoTheme for Wordpress has the perfect fonts for both Chinese and English if you need to know. Thank you very much. My email address is email@example.com Julian
I sent you email. Best Regards.
http://i-jiaju.com/furnishings Giao, the pictures on the home page has gone away somehow. We do not know where to set up those slideshow pictures. Thanks.
Please check if there are images in directory media/slideshow, directory cache/ cache/preview/ cache/thumbnail/ is writable.
Did you change anything in the xml files in layout/ folder?
Regards, Giao
there are images in directory media/slideshow, directory cache/ cache/preview/ cache/thumbnail/ is writable. I didn't change anything in the xml files in layout/ folder, but it still does not work. The Page Home's Content heading is showing on the home page, but not the content. This code "{{block type="core/template" template="sample/home.phtml"}}" is still there. I added something before and after this code, they do not show either. See this" 5.i-jiaju.com Thank you.
Could you send us FTP info and Magento admin account for checking?
We did install the entire demo site successful on your hosting, just not sure what you changed.
Regards, EMThemes.com
EMThemes.com team, we have found a way to show the sample slideshow, which we do not understand why it works only that way. We used the custom design, one column with a right sidebar setting and it works. Although it does not show the right sidebar. If we change it to default layout, or use one column with a left sidebar, it does not. Thank you. 5.i-jiaju.com
To show the slideshow on 2 columns with left sidebar layout, you should copy app/design/frontend/base/default/template/page/2columns-left.phtml to app/design/frontend/em0007/default/template/page/2columns-left.phtml
then add a line:
<?php echo $this?>getChildHtml('slideshow') ?>
<?php echo $this?>getChildHtml('header') ?>
Since this theme was designed with right column sidebar, we moved all magento blocks from left to right, so you won't see any block on the left sidebar. Of course you can move any block you want to the left sidebar if you know how to edit the XML files.
Hi tvlgiao,
I just bought your theme and could not find any documentation as mentioned on the front page as
'Full user guide documentation to help you installing and utilizing the theme.'
Can you please me through at firstname.lastname@example.com or post a link here so that i can download?
As i am new in Magento so i would need the instructions on how to install it.
Where can i download the famous : Full user guide documentation to help you installing and utilizing the theme ???
Please give me your email. I will send you the doc. Regards,
email@example.com Thank you !
Hello Please send me Documentation on how to utilize this theme. email@example.com
Thanks in advance!
Looking for help with installing this theme. No documentation is actually included with the files like it says on the website. I got the theme to be used without the documentation but there no slider or content on the main page.
If you could please e-mail me at firstname.lastname@example.com that would be great as I would like to get this running.

DOTA: A Double Truthful Auction for Spectrum Allocation in Dynamic Spectrum Access
Spectrum auctions have been proposed as an effective approach to fairly and efficiently trade the scarce spectrum resource among wireless users. The most significant challenge of the auction design to provide economic robustness, particularly truthfulness, under the local-dependent interference constraints. However, existing designs either do not consider spectrum reuse or are based on the impractical assumption that each user requests at most one channel. In this paper, the authors address this problem by proposing DOTA, a DOuble Truthful Auction for dynamic spectrum access. DOTA is economic-robust in terms of truthfulness, individual rationality, and no-deficit. It achieves improved utilization by exploiting spectrum reuse as well as dealing with the interference constraints.

Stack 'Em Up - Week 7
Daily fantasy football has many different gaming options and hosts to play on. While Draft Kings and FanDuel have lapped the field in popularity, we're all still pretty scattered when it comes to choosing style—tournaments, head-to-head, 50/50's, and leagues get healthy shares of players on a weekly basis.
In this weekly column I am going to give you DFS advice that is tailored specifically to the tournament style. The idea behind stacking is simple—you pair your quarterback with any combination of one to four wide receivers and tight ends from the same team.
In 50/50 and head-to-head matchups you have likely read that finding consistency and value is the way to win. This makes sense because you only need to beat out one player or half of a playing field. In tournament style, you should be looking at creating your roster in the completely opposite way. The goal of stacking is to create a high ceiling for your squad in the tournament. You're not winning anything by finishing better than half or even two thirds of your opponents—this is why you want to maximize upside at all costs.
Don't forget you can sign up and start playing at DraftKings today and get a 100% deposit bonus and a free subscription to PFF Fantasy Gold. For more details click here.
Without further ado, let's take a look at my three stack plays for Week 7.
Dan Schneier is a staff writer at PFF Fantasy but also writes about real football for FOX Sports. If you want to know any of my other evaluations on skill position players, continue the conversation, or yell at him for something he missed, you can find him on Twitter @DanSchneierNFL.

Improving Mental Health Care in Safety Net Medical Settings Fellowship
Program Overview
This NIMH-funded (T-32) two-year postdoctoral research training program aims to increase the number of early career investigators trained in mental health and addictions services research with a safety net medical setting focus. Our interdisciplinary program is embedded in an academic-public sector partnership that has flourished for several decades. The specific aims of this training program are to:
Train fellows in the theories and methods of mental health services research, focusing on interventions for disadvantaged populations seen in safety net medical settings, through courses, seminars, and mentored exposure to research in progress.
Provide fellows with mentored research experiences that incorporate the perspective of safety net patients, providers and administrators so that interventions can be adapted and translated to fit the unique safety net ecology.
Offer fellows administrative, policy, and clinical training opportunities in safety net facilities that underscore the organizational, financial, and policy barriers to delivering care as well as the challenges to disseminating, implementing, and sustaining new health care strategies.
Foster communication between fellows and faculty trained in different theoretical and methodological approaches, and stimulate interdisciplinary, iterative collaborations in mental health services research that improve care in safety net settings.
The interdisciplinary training will involve faculty from the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences and Internal Medicine in the School of Medicine, and from the Schools of Social Work, Nursing, and Public Health.
Faculty Mentors
At Harborview Medical Center, fellows will spend two years:
working with expert faculty mentors in mental health services research, participating in ongoing research and developing their own research projects/ grant proposals;
getting exposure to clinical, administrative, and policy activities as they unfold in safety net settings;
participating in individually tailored didactic and mentorship plans designed to impart crucially important knowledge and skills; and
translating evidence-based findings to the community of safety net service providers.
