3.149333 | -4.043212 | 38 | BYU football: BYU vs. Georgia Tech from an insider's perspective
Published: Wednesday, Oct. 24 2012 10:36 a.m. MDT 1. Georgia
Tech seems to be a bit up and down this season. It's proven to
be a team that can hang with the likes of Clemson on the road,
but drop a game at home against Middle Tennessee State. What has
led to the inconsistency and what have coaches done to address
it? The inconsistency has largely been a function of the
defense and to a lesser extent poor special teams play. The
defense has largely been confused and out of position for most
of the year. Also, the Miami game was a very emotional loss and
I believe the resulting hangover/loss of focus led directly to
the MTSU loss. It’s not often you see a team as flat as Georgia
Tech was against MTSU. Clearly, the biggest thing that has been
done to address the inconsistency was to fire Al Groh and
elevate Charles Kelly to the defensive coordinator position.
There’s only been one game (vs Boston College) since that
change. But, the defense di |

abused by an older male cousin. He was around 11 and I was
around 4. It ended when my aunt and uncle got divorced. I never
saw him again. I was so young and I didn't realize that this was
not normal. I also just forgot that it happened. Sort of. I knew
it had, but I discounted it as not having any effect on me
because I was too young. I started having sexual desires toward
girls at 6 and I was very ashamed of it and my self. I started
to cross-dress and have "strange" behaviors while masturbating
in elementary school. They were actually not all that strange,
but at 8 - 10 I was unable to deal with them. I was always
looking for the perfect girlfriend who would "prove that I
wasn't screwed up." Needless to say that did not work out. Due
to the CSA and some other reasons, I thought that being gay was
the norm; that I was supposed to be gay or at least bisexual. I
felt tremendous anger towards gays and myself. I also wasn't

1.124307 | 6.109226 | -1 | Polar Alignment If you're like most new amateur astronomers,
the first thing you probably do when you get your new telescope
properly assembled is put in an eyepiece and point it up to look
at the moon. Just the excitement of seeing the lunar landscape
up close is enough to keep you entertained for days. But
eventually, as you progress to finding more difficult objects,
such as planets and faint deep-sky objects, you will want to
utilize all the features of your equatorial mount, such as the
setting circles or perhaps even a motor drive. A mount is said
to be "equatorial" if one of its two axes can be made parallel
with the Earth's axis of rotation. Aligning the telescope to the
Earth's axis can be a simple or rather involved procedure
depending on the level of precision needed for what you want to
do. For casual observing, only a rough polar alignment is
needed. Better alignment is needed for tracking objects across
the sky (either manually or with a motor drive) at high
magnifications. Still greater precis |

encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Latin Patriarch of
Constantinople was an office established as a result of Crusader
activity in the Near East. The title should not be confused with
that of the (Orthodox) Patriarch of Constantinople, an office
which existed before and after. Before the East-West Schism in
1054, the Christian Church within the borders of the ancient
Roman Empire was effectively ruled by five patriarchs (the
"Pentarchy"): the Bishop of Rome (who rarely used the title
"Patriarch") and those of Constantinople, Jerusalem, Alexandria,
and Antioch. In the West the Bishop of Rome was recognized as
having superiority over the other Patriarchs, while in the East,
the Patriarch of Constantinople gradually came to occupy a
leading position. In the East the Pope was generally considered
first among equals, but not a direct superior.[citation needed].

Microsoft, Finland No, it’s not April Fools’ Day, but we
appreciate a good prank when we see one. Microsoft recently
announced its intentions to buy Nokia for a whopping 7.2 billion
dollars. The tech world had reactions all over the spectrum.
Many were worried that this signaled the death of the Nokia
they’ve come to love over the years. Some took it harder than
others, while others are able to sit back and have a bit of fun
at the situation. Like this prankster in Nokia, Finland. Nokia
is a company in Finland that makes some kickass hardware for
Windows Phone. Nokia is also a little town and municipality in
Finland with a population of about 32,000. The deal between
Microsoft and Nokia was announced a little over a month ago.
Between that announcement and today, a prankster has being going
around town changing streets signs to read “Microsoft” by
placing a sticker on them. You know, because Nokia is now going
to be Microsoft? That’s pretty funny. |

Netanyahu asked in an interview broadcast Monday night on

so. By Looey on 10/23/2009 4:38:55 PM , Rating: 1 Net neutrality
as defined by the FCC is a proposal for all data to flow over
the network equally. If all of an ISP's customers start
downloading multi gigabyte files at the same time they will be
treated with the same priority as someone sitting at his
keyboard waiting on a response from a web site. The FCC (Obama &
Google) want to treat bulk data the same as traffic generated by
a person. If a person is making $100 an hour and has slow
response because an ISP has his connections choked, it makes no
sense to prioritize all the data the same and never has. This
will force ISPs to add more hardware and bandwidth to speed up
response time. The cost will be passed on to the customers. For
ISP haters, don't say sign up fewer customers and there will be
more bandwidth to go around. That will raise the costs or make

career. However, it was only a few years ago that I experienced
firsthand the true power of dreaming big. It came at the hands
of someone quite small. My daughter was seven at the time. She
loved to play catch, and I did also. The object we threw did not
matter: a tennis ball, football, or any ball for that matter. It
was the challenge of consecutive catches that mattered very much
to her. There was always the same goal, and only one goal, when
we played catch: to break the existing records for consecutive
catches. I remember one day when my focused little daughter
said, "Dad, let's try for 100 in a row." Since our best at that
point was 50, I politely chuckled and said, "Sure, honey." And
guess what, after a few attempts, we did it. So, the next day
she said, "Dad let's go for 300 in a row." Well, my daughter was
learning about thinking big, but I still had a lot to learn. I

primarily known for its work on the Armored Core and Tenchu

Software’s most ambitious work has arguably been with the Otogi

From would release either a direct or spiritual successor.
While Ninja Blade is a hack and slash game and some of the
visuals are quite impressive, it is clearly not an attempt to
follow in Otogi’s footsteps. Rather, it essentially seems to be
a tounge-in-cheek homage to 2004’s Ninja Gaiden, among others.
While it can be fun while it lasts, it is neither as challenging
nor engaging as its inspirations. Part of what made the rebirth
of Ninja Gaiden so satisfying was it’s depth. Although it’s

The memory profiler is really only designed for finding issues
related to the amount of memory being used rather than
performance issues with the garbage collector. It can help out a
bit with these kinds of problem, though. Note that the % time

the defendant gets to go free. If we stuck strictly to common
law, that would give a court more flexibility to apply a legal

Efforts to care for abandoned cats could mean more humans will
be exposed to rabies, researchers at the federal Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention say. For 30 years, the main
domestic animal linked to human exposure to rabies in the United
States has been the cat. In the past 10 years, the number of
feral cat colonies has exploded as animal-rights groups fight to
end the capturing and killing of strays. Those two trends could
be on a collision course, says Charles Rupprecht, director of
research for the Global Alliance for Rabies Control, who was
senior author of the CDC study. Dogs were the primary domestic
carrier of rabies until the 1970s, when roundups of strays and
vaccination programs eradicated canine rabies. That hasn't
happened with cats. "We didn't think it was OK to have (stray)

Man Is a Social Animal The first time when man was defined as a
social animal was back in the ancient times. Aristotle wrote in
his Politics: “Hence it is evident that the state is a creation
of nature and that man by nature is a political animal.”
Political here can be interpreted as social due to the meaning
of the Greek word politikos, which meant the social aspect as
well. Later, Baruch Spinoza also stated that men were social
animals, and that it was because of their nature – they get from
society much more convenience than injury, as they are not able
to live in solitude. This definition can be interpreted in
different ways, and for me it also has a meaning. It is a well-
known fact that women and men perceive this world in different
ways. They think and even see differently, which is why there
are often certain misunderstandings that result in major
disappointments. What is interesting, women often call the men

AM - John C. Goodman Hospitals are dangerous places to be. At
least if you are a patient. My colleagues Biff Jones and Pam
Villarreal and I estimate that as many as 187,000 patients die
every year for some reason other than the medical condition
which caused them to seek care. We also estimate there are 6.1
million injuries caused by the health care system, including
hospital acquired infections that afflict one in every 20
hospital patients. We estimate the economic cost of this loss
of life and limb at between $393 billion and $958 billion in
2006 dollars. These amounts are equal to between 18% and 45% of
all health care spending. Roughly speaking, every time the
health care system spends a dollar healing us, it causes up to
45 cents worth of harm. Of course, the system also does a lot of
good. In fact the good is many, many times greater than the
harm. Still, the cost of adverse medical events is so huge we

laws of physics are simply our descriptions of observed patterns
of occurrences; they are not really "laws" which anything
"obeys". Imagine that we observed that our neighbour left his
house at 7 am every day. We might construct a "law" for our
neighbour which described this behaviour. On observing that the
behaviour did not occur at weekends, we might so modify this
law. It might then be a useful shorthand to speak of him
"obeying" this law, but in fact his house "contains" no such
law, nor in fact does he "obey" any such law. This law is our
own construct, useful in helping us make real-world predictions,
but not having any existence "out there". The "law" is actually

literally means disease of the brain. there are many etiologies
for encephalopathy. For example, anoxic encephalopathy commonly
refers to permanent brain damage with often severe impairment of
consciousness and mental abilities caused by cessation of oxygen
delivery to the brain. In contrast, toxic-metabolic
encephalopathy, which has protean causes, is generally
completely reversible given reversal of the underlying toxic
(infectious) or metabolic insult. Because the word
encephalopathy is used in so many contexts, it has no direct
synonyms. Contrast to dementia which refers to a permanent
reduction in mental abilities from a previously higher level
(c.f. mental retardation), always in the absence of acute
illness or alteration of consciousness. Also contrast to
delirium which refers to an acute confusional state, frequently,
but not always, in the setting of acute illness. Because toxic-

suicide attacks un-Islamic PTI May 17, 2009, 09.33pm IST
ISLAMABAD: An influential group of Pakistani scholars and
religious leaders on Sunday declared suicide attacks and
beheadings as un-Islamic and called on people to unite for a
struggle against the militancy plaguing the country. 'Ulema'
(clerics) and 'mushaikh' (spiritual leaders) of the Jamaat Ahl-
e-Sunnah, who gathered here for a convention, declared suicide
attacks and beheadings as un-Islamic in a unanimous resolution.
They backed the military operation being conducted in Swat and
Malakand to flush out the Taliban and restore peace. They
described the operation as important, saying it was a war for
Pakistan's integrity and sovereignty. The religious leaders
said the designs of elements engaged in creating a state within
a state should be frustrated. In his address, Jamaat Ahl-e-
Sunnah president Sahibzada Fazal Karim said those trying to harm
the integrity of Pakistan should be dea |

particular Cracked article was an interesting way of looking at
the phenomenon: They're not just feeding us American-
centric views because ZOMG AMERICAN LIVES MATTER MORE, although
that's certainly part of it. They're feeding us what's
psychologically satisfying and personally relateable, because
that's what'll keep people tuning in. The fact that in doing so
we tend to miss the larger picture is just an unfortunate side
effect of the battle for ratings. 2. The Mad Dreamer Says:

not beat a dead horse into the ground here. Welcome to the
third installment of my commentary on the Achievements system.
The latest comment here, by Mal-2, describes the Achievements as
being divided into regular ones which are available to be
achieved on an ongoing basis, and Feats of Strength which are
generally the ones that were achievable at a point in time, but
are likely no longer available. Ok, ok. Now we're talking. I
like this, I can work with this. The thing that'll make or
break it for me is the user interface implementation. Make the
display of Feats of Strength be a listing of all the things the
player has accomplished, and I'm a big fan. I'll be trying to
add to my list whenever the opportunity arises (2010 Olympics,
anyone???) If the Feats of Strength are displayed as a list of
all possible Feats, along with a check mark or bright icon to
indicate which ones have been accomplished, and a dull greyed

Minister Jayalalithaa on Tuesday asserted that the State got
10,000 cubic feet per second (cusecs) of Cauvery water from
Karnataka during September 12 to 20 only because it approached
the Supreme Court. Only after the State filed a petition that
crop in the State was getting affected due to non-release of
water by the Karnataka government, the Supreme Court not only
directed [the Union government] that the Cauvery River Authority
hold a meeting but also asked Karnataka to release 10,000
cusecs. As regards the ruling given by Prime Minister-Chairman
of the Authority to Karnataka to issue 9,000 cusecs for 25 days,
the Chief Minister explained that the quantum was less than what
the court had given. Moreover, even as per distress sharing
formula, Karnataka should provide two thousand million cubic
feet (tmc ft) a day for 24 days to Tamil Nadu, she explained in
a statement. Ms. Jayalalithaa was responding to observations

combing through real-estate listing sites looking for that
perfect home: the dwelling that fits their budget and their
dreams of a better lifestyle. But how much time do they spend
looking at the area around it? Not nearly enough, says Andrew
Schiller, founder and CEO of NeighborhoodScout. "Most people
focus on the house … and only secondarily look at the
neighborhood. It should actually be the reverse," Schiller says.
You can have a glorious house, Schiller says, but you will find
your lifestyle suffering if the neighborhood isn't a good fit.

Will Aggressive Calls Become the New Normal in New York? Use

It wasn't supposed to be competitive, but New York Jets head
coach Rex Ryan had other plans. His aggressive style of play-
calling—highlighted by a fake punt from Tim Tebow, a 4th-and-1
attempt from inside their own territory and a questionable
onside kick in the third quarter—proved that he is not going to
let the Jets go down without a fight. If anything, that may be
the new normal for New York. That doesn't necessarily mean it
will always work, or that the Jets will always keep games close
as a result of those plays, but Rex wasn't shy about embracing
those gutsy calls as a part of the team's identity (via ESPN):
Well you try to steal a possession if you can, but the other
thing is that was us. We're just going to go for it. I think
I've always been (that way). I think we have a guy in Tim that
