ATI will use a simple tactic to boost the sales of RV670 based cards: by branding its card Radeon HD3000 series or HD3800 the company plans to make two important moves and boost sales at the same time.
First, the new HD38x0 name will affect users by making them believe that the HD3000 series is better than HD2900, simply because it has a higher model number. It will be better, but not that much, as it is an evolution in design, not a revolution. ATI will also get rid of the XT / PRO and GT sufixes that are very confusing for the average Joe who buys the cards at retail stores.
The new strategy will be rather simple: the bigger number is better. One other secret behind HD3000 series is that ATI desperately wants to get away from the ghosts of HD2900 that didn't turn out as well as expected.
We are disappointed with ATI's decision to pick such a high number for RV670, as HD3000 should be reserved for the real next generation. RV670PRO is an improved design of R600 and reduced to 55 nanometers, but with this in mind it doesn't deserve the HD 38x0 name.
We can only voice our objections, but we are sure that from the market's point of view, this renaming will help DAAMIT sell more cards.
With this in mind, we can at least speculate that R700, the real next generation chip, will get the HD 4000 name; but ATI might change the branding completely for this one.

Politicians often decide that funding in education needs to be cut. We are all dealing with low budgets, no money for staff development and, the most common area to cut, no money for technology. In my school, that means that as my SmartBoard projector starts to wear out (and it is) it will not be repaired or replaced. As the laptops reach their 10 year mark, and stop being effective, they will not be replaced. So the technology will slowly, but surely, leave my classroom.
So I started wondering if it really mattered. Maybe we can do without. After all, the technology projects we do are mostly started by me. We have some great lessons that have nothing to do with technology. What does it really matter? And then I get my proof that technology is important to my students and their learning. Here are just a few examples of how.
1. I am giving a standard test on the digestive system on Thursday. It is the first test I am giving to my class where they actually have to study ideas and memorize body parts and definitions. In other words, they have to study. Nervous and unsure, they asked for help. I asked what they wanted. They said they wanted me to create a Google doc with questions for them to answer. I said no but they could. So one child created the doc, went around and invited everyone in and made plans for a time to get together tonight. I went in about an hour ago. The doc was full of questions and answers, over 10 children were in studying, and the chat room was buzzing with talk of the digestive system. Wow!
2. I got an email today from a student I had two years ago. She has joined the Science Olympiads and needs to build a project. She asked me for some help with finding sites that will give her ideas. She said she had already watched some videos to help her understand her topic better and now needed to work on a project. Amazing!
3. I worked on mean (averages) in class this week. Last night I got an email from a student saying she really didn't understand it and could I help her. I typed up a quick definition, found a video link and a game for her to play and sent it off. Today she told me those links really helped.
4. My students have decided that they need to get on Edmodo at night and do homework together. They wanted to know if this was cheating. LOL Little do they know that I love the idea and love that they came up with it. "If it will help you," I said, "go right ahead." I love checking in on their conversations and adding some ideas of my own.
These examples are just from last week and this week. And these are 4th graders - 9 year olds. Imagine how important technology will be to them in 5 years. They are already thinking about how technology can support their learning. Their world will never be the same.
What examples do you have to show how technology really supports your students?

French media sources insist Leonardo could be unveiled at PSG tonight after terminating his contract with Inter.
The Nerazzurri Coach is returning to his past as a director general at Paris Saint-Germain, the club he played for in the 1990s.
According to L'Equipe, Leo is flying in from Rio de Janeiro this evening to work out the final details in ending his contract wi9th Inter.
The tactician joined on Christmas Eve and his deal runs until June 30 2012.
Inter President Massimo Moratti confirmed the situation was progressing very quickly.
"The career of a Coach is something he went into with passion, but it was not really his plan for the future.
"It's therefore only right that he should follow his dream and what really makes him happy. It is a job that is more suited to his personality.
"Leonardo was entirely fair and told us about the situation. It seemed right for me to push him towards this option."
Moratti also confessed that Marcelo Bielsa had been contacted as a possible replacement.

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) -- Shares of home builders and related exchange-traded funds dropped Thursday, continuing a slide that ramped up after the Federal Reserve's Wednesday announcement that it will leave monetary policies unchanged for now. Investors are likely reacting to comments from Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke that the Fed could start tapering its bond purchases later this year. Shares of PulteGroup PHM, +0.31% were down more than 10% Thursday afternoon, while shares of D.R. Horton DHI, -0.20% were down more than 9%, and shares of Lennar LEN, +0.13% were down more than 8%. Those builder stocks are the S&P 500's three worst performers Thursday. The iShares Dow Jones U.S. Home Construction Index Fund ITB, -0.07% fell more than 6% Thursday and the SPDR S&P Homebuilders ETF XHB, -0.12% fell more than 5%.

(The Hosting News) – cPanel helped kick off Mardi Gras (just about four months early) in New Orleans, Louisiana on Tuesday night with six giant floats, a marching band and a police escort.
It's safe to say that New Orleans natives were in for a welcoming surprise as beads, drum beats and music filled the air.
The parade marched down Canal Street before reaching reaching the Republic New Orleans where cPanel Conference 2013 attendees gathered for some refreshing drinks.
Just the night before, cPanel Conference 2013 kicked off as attendees spent a New Orleans style night on the muddy Mississippi by partying it up on the Queen Creole Riverboat.
cPanel Conference 2013 is expected to conclude today with networking, cPanel certification testing, educational sessions and more.

The Governor of St.-Petersburg has defined the daily norm of bread in case of war
The Governor of St. Petersburg Georgy Poltavchenko has approved the food regulations in case of war. A signed document ensures that everyone in the city will get 300 grams of bread a day for 20 days since the beginning of hostilities.

Stocks of agricultural products was created in order to ensure food security of the Northern capital. They consist of the minimum ("untouchable") and operational reserves of rye and wheat, writes "Fontanka".
Storage "bins" of St. Petersburg is engaged in state unitary enterprise "Food Fund" under the jurisdiction of the Committee on development of entrepreneurship and consumer market.
According to the publication, the total grain stocks in the next three years will be at least 69,7 thousand tons. Based on 300 grams of bread per day for every citizen of St. Petersburg should be enough for a month and a half security. "Minimum stock 31 thousand tons for 20 days of the receipt of Petersburgers the same 300-gram pike", — says the article.
It clarifies that the 20-day rate to provide citizens with bread is introduced for the first time. In addition, the enacted city law does not allow reduction of the achieved level of food security.
Bread cards were introduced in Leningrad in July 1941. In the first month workers received 800 grams of bread, but then this rate decreased to 200 grams. During the blockade, which lasted 872 days, from hunger killed more than 630 thousand of Leningrad.

Protein Transfer Problems from SDS-PAGE Gels - Involves Coomassie Staining (Apr/07/2010 )
For ponceau, I let act the solution 5 minutes on my membrane, it is enough. I wash then 3 to 4 time with large volume of TBS-T (until my washing buffer stop to be pink).
To my mind, two things to do:
1° Try your ponceau and coomasie solution on old membrane already detected by colleague. If the staining is not working, try other recipies.
2° When this staining is working, make a new blot, keep two membranes in your transfer protocol. Try to expose the membrane in contact with the gel with ponceau, and the other with Coomasie and labbel the gel with Coomasie.
Ps. Stupid question, but are you blotting in the good sens? gel on the - and membranes on the + ?
Yup, I am blotting in the correct sequence- I mean unless BioRad suddenly decided to make black positive and red negative haha.
I suppose the reason I am have some trouble with the troubleshooting is because no one in my laboratory has done western blotting before. I am trying to build the protocol from the ground up.
I think next time I run the blots, I'll stick to the new buffer concentration and put membranes on both sides of the gel, just in case.
Bah, still no bands on transfer membranes. =(
Is there a polarity to these membranes? Also, when I take the transfer membranes out of the cassette post-transfer, I see "grayish" areas, does that mean there were air bubbles there?
0.1% sds in the transfer medium is too much. try 0.05%. keep the methanol at 20%.
the methanol strips sds off the protein. sds interferes with binding.
0.05% sds helps get the protein out of the gel and then gets removed by the methanol.
Hmm, I will try that out!
I have a couple of transferring troubleshooting ideas up my sleeve- but I was wondering, can I use the Biosafe coomassie stain to blot my membranes for proteins? I hear that coomassie stains are more sensitive than Ponceau stains, so I suspect that maybe I will get different results with a different stain.
Chiapet874 on Apr 18 2010, 09:49 PM said:
in general, no. coomassie stain is permanent. ponceau s is easily removable. coomassie will interfere with color deposition (used in some western blots) and may interfere with chemiluminescence. it may also interfere with antibody binding.
since you are using chemiluminescence to visualize your blot you can try it, if you don't mind possibly wasting the materials.

Retrieves the text of the control identified by nID.
Specifies the translated value of the dialog-box item text. Since 0 is a valid return value, lpTrans must be used to detect errors. If a signed return value is desired, cast it as an int type.
The function returns 0 if the translated number is greater than INT_MAX (for signed numbers) or UINT_MAX (for unsigned).
When errors occur, such as encountering nonnumeric characters and exceeding the above maximum, GetDlgItemInt copies 0 to the location pointed to by lpTrans. If there are no errors, lpTrans receives a nonzero value. If lpTrans is NULL, GetDlgItemInt does not warn about errors.
It translates the text of the specified control in the given dialog box into an integer value by stripping any extra spaces at the beginning of the text and converting decimal digits. It stops the translation when it reaches the end of the text or encounters any nonnumeric character.
If bSigned is TRUE, GetDlgItemInt checks for a minus sign (–) at the beginning of the text and translates the text into a signed number. Otherwise, it creates an unsigned value.
It sends a WM_GETTEXT message to the control.

After roughly a 2 year hiatus we are thrilled to announce - Luck & Senses is back in action, writing and recording new material and putting our stamp on a few covers, for our next release, 'End of the Silence'. The life of this project has been made possible due to the strategic planning and incredible generosity of my über talented sister, Jane Jubilee and the many fabulous people for whom we're so lucky to call our friends and colleagues. The GoFundme campaign Jane set up as my extremely successful birthday surprise, has given us the funds necessary to hire superb musicians, schedule enough rehearsal and studio time, to create my dream of 'if I could, I would' type of music.
A massive thank you to all who made this possible. We'll be keeping you updated on our project through our blog,so check back soon!
Love & Music,

Steve McNair Family Photos are quite popular today and I am going to provide couple of photographs of the in-news family of ex NFL super jock Steve McNair.
But before that some background info and trust me this story unfolds like some modern day soap opera. It has all the right ingredients, a bored super athlete, who is married to boot, a fling with a 20 something waitress at Dave and Busters, a lot of Persian culture and eventually the tragedy.
By now most of you searching for this news already know that Steve McNair was found shot to death in a double homicide which included a previously unidentified women who we now know is Sahel Kazemi. The internet right now is abuzz with personal judgment and opinions about this girl Sahel Kazemi, check them out from here (don't forget to check out user comments on the article below)
>> Sahel Kazemi Profile
This is indeed quite a tragic story and the fact that it had to end like this for two promising people makes it even more heart breaking. Both the personalities involved in the case were young and had a lot to look forward in their lives. But because of the choices they made, the blooming life was cut short.
Check out the photos but remember to read more about Sahel from the above link.

DC......Part One A Beginning
gWe never really called it District of Columbia and most of the time we seldom called the city or the Nations Capitol Washington,D.C., and when we called the place DC we often took it for granted that folks just knew what we were talking about.
Yes, DC has always been the home that I remember and will always know as my home, though likt many others I have come in contact with were from areas like Virginia, North Carolina, some South Carolina, and Maryland. Other states have melted into this city, but the ones I mentioned always seem like the ones that I knew where folks came from.
DC is Government, DC is the White House and all political and all of the other things that one reads about, or tour about, and it is a place of museums, the Capitol, the Monument, Potomac River and Anacostia River, and all of the Historical spots that make up the Nations Capitol. Yet DC is where people live...people who just do not live in Georgetown or Chevy Chase, but people who live beyond all of the rest such as South West, South East,NorthWest, North East. We have schools, universities and colleges, and we have a Black University called Howard University. I grew up here during the 1950s when DC, a Southern City, had its shares of segregation, though it did not show the signs "colored" and "white" as shown in the state of my birth North Carolina, but D.C. had its boundaries, boundaries that told Black folks where they suppose to be and where they are not suppose to be. DC my Hometown.

Real quick, these guys have to go back to work. I just want to say thank you to these guys, thank you to Coach Flats. Obviously awards are awards, but the guys who play next to you make you the player you are. Thank you guys. Thank you __.
Hope Johnson, I knew she was a true fan. You guys on BBI are Giants fans. I think the reason why I wake up in the morning, I practice hard, I like to play hard is because the fans actually truly appreciate New York Giants football.
New York Giant football fans know what they're talking about. I can't lie, every once in awhile you go on BBI, you take a look at what the fans are saying about you personally, about your teammates. If it was good stuff, you felt good about yourself. If it was bad stuff, it made you work harder. I just think every player wants the fans to like him. You want to work hard. You want to be able to show your support to the fans for playing hard and all of that good stuff. We want to win. You guys want to win. New York Football Giants want to win football games.
This award does mean a lot, but the guys who are out here, my teammates, Eli, Coach Flats, Coach Jack, Coach Coughlin – they're the ones that get everything going. A guy gets hurt, they have a guy ready to play the next position. Those are the guys that truly deserve the credit for making players who they are. I was just blessed to be a New York Giant for 10 years. It's my life. It's my family's life. It's been truly fun.
But thank you guys for having me out here. It means a lot. And [Eric] knew more about me than I think I know about myself. Thanks Pat [Hanlon] for setting it all up today. It was a little weird coming back. I am a Giant. I told my family this, my wife has talked about this, I'm rehabbing like I want to play football. I think for me personally, that's the best rehab you can get. I'm going to Excel. Matt Gibble over at Excel, where I've been throughout the whole lockout. There have been a few guys over there training. We're working hard. I'm lifting at Overtime Sports. Those guys are trying to get me back into shape. If my knee feels good enough in a few months to go out, we'll see what team comes calling, but until then, I'm a New York Giant and I'm happy to be one.
You never play the game for work, you play the game because you love it. I'm honored to have it with Hope Johnson's name on it. I knew she was a Giants fan and it's going to go in a special place in my house.
Q: Talk about your rehab, what you're doing right now. You're saying you're still a New York Giant, that's something that's special to you.
A: Wellington Mara once said, 'Once a Giant, always a Giant.' I was a New York Giant for ten years so it's kind of hard not to say that I'm still a New York Giant. I'm rehabbing like I want to play football and when the time comes, we'll see what happens, but that time's not here yet. I have to go back to work like I did a couple of years ago, rehabbing my leg. I'm giving it everything I 've got. We're going to see what happens in about two months and I'll make the decision then.
Q: If you had a chance to say something to all of these fans that said something to you, what would you say?
A: Thanks. Obviously, the fans know what they're talking about. No, I'm just kidding. I think the fans truly appreciate hard work. If you work hard and truly care about something, you can do whatever you want to do. My career, you get knocked down you just try to get back up and keep on fighting. That's what I'm going to do here in the next couple of months.
Q: Do you miss football?
A: I think yeah, you miss football. But I still talk to the guys. I'll watch practice today. I still have the love to play the game of football. That's the hardest part. I'm watching the preseason game – I didn't have any feelings. I have three kids now. Hunter, Isaac and a newborn Hailey, who's four months old. I truly enjoy my family. I figured I'd have a little more free time on my hands, but I really don't – rehab, lifting, my children. It's been a good run so we'll just see what happens.
Q: We haven't had a fight in training camp, are you a little disappointed?
A:I can fight Pat [Hanlon] if you guys want me to. I can stick around and maybe get him to the ground or something.
Q: Does that surprise you?
A: No. You don't have to have fights in football. It's something that Keith Hamilton taught me back when I was a young kid. Obviously, I didn't pass that trait on to anybody.
Q: Do you have any idea when you might be able to get back out or run?
A: I'm just going week-to-week. I saw the doctor yesterday. I'm improving so hopefully I can start running here in a couple weeks and once I start running, the pounding and stuff allows me to see what I need to do to play. I'm just taking my time, making sure I'm doing it right. I'm not going to push it. I want to play football. I love playing the game, but I also have to think about my body and my family. We'll see how I feel when the time comes.
Q: How tough was it when you heard you weren't going to be coming back here?
A: It's always hard. I've been here 10 years, I haven't been cut once. This is my first time ever being cut. You see guys come and you see guys go. It's the part of the business that nobody likes. Like I said from day one, no hard feelings for the New York Giants. This is my family. My kids love coming here. My kids love the game of football because the Giants gave me a job for the last ten years. I'm grateful for the Mara family, the Tisch family. It's been a true blessing to be in one organization for so long. I thought I would've gotten cut ten years, when I was a rookie. For some reason I stuck around for this long and it's been truly fun.
Q: Did you expect it?
A: I think about that every day of my life when I wake up. This is the game of football, you can get cut today, you can get cut tomorrow. Me being hurt, not being able to play, it was either PUP or this. They decided this. It's their decision. Like I said, I'm still rehabbing like I want to play football and I'll be fine.
Q: Besides the knee, you've had some other bumps and bruises along the way.
A: If you just cut my right leg off I think I'd be pretty good. My shoulder feels good. My back is good. I feel healthy. This is the best my body has felt in a long time with all of the rehab and working out I've been doing, but just my knee. We'll see. I know that's a key component to you're body, but I can still kick Mike [Garafolo] with it.
Q: Do you rehab every day? Lift every day?
A: Everyday. It's a full-time job. That's my job right now, rehab. That's what I'm doing.
Q: You had a choice of trying to come back or retiring…
A: I think it's just me. I can't let this say I'm done. If this wants to say I'm done fine, but I'm going to give everything I have to prove that this isn't going to end it. We'll see. I'm truly happy. Either way it goes, I'm happy. I'll still being going to games, still be watching.
Q: But there comes a time for every player. Why now is it not the time for you?
A: It's just the mentality I have. I don't want an injury to tell me when I'm done playing. It's just the way I am. You know that Mike [Garafolo]. I'm stubborn. You can say I'm stubborn.
Q: Have you had contact with any teams?
A: A few teams have called, yes. But basically, I want to clear a physical, so what's the point of running all over the country seeing teams? I told them let's get healthy and see what happens?
Q: When is that time frame?
A: Like two-three months.
Q: From now?
A: No, from when camp started. It's like two months.
Q: Six weeks into the season?
A: That's what I'm shooting for.
Q: You said it felt weird coming back here?
A: It's just weird. You're coming back, you see all of the guys you used to practice with and now I'll be sitting here watching them. I'm not a shy guy, so I'm not going to worry about that. You want the pads on, to be out here practicing, but obviously I can't do that. Maybe I'll try and trip someone running down the sideline.
Q: Did you go to your locker?
A: Snee's got it. My locker was still warm when Snee took it over. I left a present for him. I don't know if he found it yet. No, but that's fine. It's prime real estate right there. He took my locker and he took my seat in the meeting room. I had prime real estate. I've been around here long enough where I got to choose kind of where I want to be.
Coach Coughlin
Q: We just got the news about Osi. Did something happen in the first couple of practices?
A: I don't think anything happened…It swelled up. He didn't want to continue like this; practice, swell up, practice, swell up. So between the doctors and Osi, the decision was made that they would perform this scope and hopefully eliminate that part of it. Allow the recovery time and then allow him to go back to the field without having this as an issue. Hopefully it will take less time than the other range, the other extent and we'll get him back as fast as he can.
Q: Your doctors and a specialist told him that he wouldn't need surgery. Is this a surprise?
A: I don't think that was the case at all. As a matter of fact, Ronnie (Barnes) and Dr. (Russell) Warren talked about a period of time maybe 6 or 8 weeks ago when they talked about the possibility of having to have this cleaned out. So I think this is no surprise. There's no surprise.
Q: How does this change what you do now?
A: We just keep going. We'll keep going, thinking in terms of him being back. We'll use different combinations and (Dave) Tollefson will obviously be involved more with each combination and there will be some packages that we won't be able to use but probably we wouldn't use them anyway in preseason. So hopefully these other guys will take full advantage of the playtime and the practice time. We had a couple of issues the other day and some of these young kids got a chance to go. I thought it would be a good idea to play some of these guys extensively anyway.
Q: So you definitely will leave Kiwanuka at linebacker.
A: Yes.
Q: Are you thinking Osi will be out for the opener?
A: I don't know about that. I'm not going fit anything on the end of that. Maybe he comes back fast. Maybe it's three weeks.
Q: You knew this was a possibility but I thought the specialist told him he could manage it.
A: I don't know what the… I think that word was used. But I think the management part of it would have probably gotten into less field time and some frustration. So I think after a few days and looking at the calendar. He was very open and very positive with Jerry about getting back on the field, really enjoying the time he was out there with his teammates, really wanting to be a part of our team. So I thought, and I'm hearing it second hand, too, but I thought that those thoughts were very encouraging and if that's what the situation is, let's get this taken care of today.
Q: Does this mean that once he gets back here he should not be limited.
A: I think that's what he's trying to do. They're trying to eliminate the idea that whenever he works and goes hard in practice that the knee swells up. That's the point, to eliminate that.
Q: Could this also eliminate the nonsense as far as what has been going on the last couple of weeks with him?
A: Well hopefully, again, that's behind us and he's now focused on making a huge contribution to our team this year. Get healthy and do it.
Q: Has
A: Well he started to. Then he had the two days where he was not able to go. For Travis that's always…he's got to stay out there. When he stays out there he becomes more confident, he does a lot more things with consistency. Just like any of us would, I suppose you could say that. There's no doubt, that was not…the way he was progressing was a positive thing and those couple of days without practice set him back a little bit and hopefully he's starting to get that back.
Q: Have you seen flashes in him that show why you drafted him?
A: You do see it. You see it. You see him maneuver and run and catch the ball in traffic and that type of thing. He even made some really hard catches there right before he missed a couple of days. You just need to see more of it. You need to know that he's out there and he's going to practice and he's going to get to work. He can experience a lot of these things on the practice field.
Q: You always say you're looking to get better personnel-wise but now that you've seen two weeks of these guys, are you comfortable with these tight ends?
A: Well that's a position that's got to get better. If the group that we have here can improve over the next couple of weeks, fine. If not, we've got to get better.
Q: What's the plan with getting Rosenfels back on the field?
A: Well we'll see whether…we had really…this was going to be a Carr game and Sage was going to play and Ryan was not gong to get any time but this may change. We'll see how these next couple of days go for Sage.
Q: Will JPP practice?
A: I think he's ready.
Q: Is Boley's back any better?
A: Boley still has some issues. He was tight this morning so we'll see. Maybe he can loosen up and practice a little bit today. If not, then the young guys are going to get more work.
Q: Is it usual to have this many camp ailments or does it seem like there's more this year?
A: This has been better than most, to tell you the truth. It looks like a long list, I know that, but when you dig into it, most of them are working. So I don't think it's… This is maybe one of the benefits of one-a-days. You don't have this extensive list that people can't work. A lot of this stuff they can get through.
Q: You talk about finishing the season strong. How do you build toward that during training camp?
A: Finish. You're constantly saying finish, finish, finish. Let the last drill be better than the first. Finish the practice in such a way that we can say we accomplished something. We were better at the end than we were in the beginning. Fourth quarter, stronger, win the physical battle, all those things.
TE Travis Beckum
Q: How is your health?
A: It is good. Obviously I missed the first game and I am anxious to get out there. It has been a while with the whole lockout stuff but I am anxious to get out there and play and have some fun.
Q: Is it the same issue as before?
A: I think it had something to do with me being off and not being adjusted. So I have been making sure I stay on top of that and it's getting better.
Q: What happened the other day in practice when Kevin Gilbride yelled at you on the practice field?
A: I messed up a play and obviously with him being the offensive coordinator it is his job to be upset about it. I actually talked to him about it and it was just a miss communication and that's all it was. I think that if you didn't know what was going on then you kind of got a misrepresentation of what was going on.
Q: What kind of miscommunication was it?
A: He just didn't want me in that play and then I ran the wrong way so he was frustrated about that.
Q: How nice was it to end practice with a nice catch?
A: Obviously catching as many balls is great for me and coming through and putting our team in a position to score.
Q: Who put you back in?
A: I think coach Gilbride wanted me in regardless. I think the day before we had did a two-minute drill with the ones and the next day with the twos so he wanted me to take some reps with them.
Q: How do you feel about playing on the line?
A: The thing about the NFL is that you pay these guys X amount of dollars to do what they excel at. That is just stating the obvious and I think I read what coach Pope said. If anybody has any kind of smarts, why would you want to put a 235 pound tight end against a 290 pound defensive end for the whole game? That is just common sense. There are plays that they will put you position to do it, yes but as far as every down… Kevin was 270 pounds and that's a big difference. I am definitely willing to do it but I think the coaches are just going to put me in the best position to have success and maybe that is just moving around.

Leary rescues FX, but can ABC survive Saget?
Published 4:00 am, Monday, April 6, 2009
"Surviving Suburbia" Comedy. 9:30 p.m. Mondays on ABC.
"Rescue Me" Drama. 10 p.m. Tuesdays on FX.
The crazed mind of a network (ABC) and a star (Denis Leary) are back on display this week in wildly contrasting examples of how being messed up internally can be, well, messy or borderline genius.
ABC premieres a sitcom called "Surviving Suburbia" tonight, and Leary returns as Tommy Gavin in the fifth season premiere of the great "Rescue Me" Tuesday on FX.
As noted previously, attempting to figure out what ABC is trying to do with its programming is migraine-inducing. The network simply can't figure out which direction it wants to go with its comedy programming, and the result is schizophrenic. How does a network put on "Better Off Ted," which is aggressively absurd and nontraditional, then counter with "Surviving Suburbia," a cookie-cutter, laugh-track-saturated sitcom starring Bob Saget that it is so bad it's almost offensive?
For every quirky gem that ABC tries to launch, it counters with the most traditionally inane, patently obvious piece of mainstream dreck imaginable.

Why is this disconnect not apparent to ABC's entertainment president Steve McPherson, an otherwise smart and savvy programmer? Maybe someone thought "Surviving Suburbia" - which is supposed to be a prickly take on a grumpy father - was cut from the same cloth as "In the Motherhood," which focuses on the sometimes caustic world view of mothers. But there's a difference. "In the Motherhood" at least has a smattering of jokes that make you laugh and it doesn't always feel like a safe, throwback sitcom. It may not always work, but it's trying to express the sharp right angles of modern motherhood.
"Surviving Suburbia," on the other hand, just marinates in stupidity. It's a hackfest of cliches and obvious, unfunny jokes about kids and neighbors and marriage, with multiple cameras, a smothering laugh track, precocious kids and a salty but loving wife.
Saget plays Steve, a grumpy guy married 20 years to Anne (Cynthia Stevenson). They live in a house you've seen a million times on television with two young children you've seen in various iterations another million times, especially Courtney (G Hannelius) who, despite missing her front teeth and being as cute as a button, is also phenomenally annoying in her preciousness.
When we first meet Steve, he's ready to work on the lawn. "I bought so much fertilizer I think I'm on a terrorist watch list." It doesn't get any better when his neighbor Onno - yes - Onno (Dan Cortese) - arrives and says, "It smells like crap back here. It's like the back of your house farted."
If that's funny to you, then by all means lose the 21 minutes and 50 seconds this series steals from your soul. But first you'll have to hear the characters make two references to other ABC/Disney enterprises within the first 10 minutes (a habit that ABC can't seem to cure itself of), including the little girl hoping Zac Efron moves into her room. Creepy.
ABC is in love with the notion that it can tap into the cheesy "Full House" vibe or other saccharine family "comedy" offerings of the past. If that means abandoning originality, humor and taste in the process, so be it. But that's never the audience that seeks out "Pushing Daisies" or "Better Off Ted," so maybe ABC could pass those on to a network whose core viewers would appreciate them.
FX, on the other hand, has never had a problem understanding its own brand. The channel goes for grit and darkness and the challenging juxtaposition of drama and comedy. No series better embodies those qualities than "Rescue Me," the show Leary and Peter Tolan created in the wake of Sept. 11, focusing on the emotional fallout the events took on firefighters in New York. In four previous seasons, "Rescue Me" has brazenly reconfigured the pat "hero" tag on firefighters and opted instead to present them as more fundamentally flawed (and funny), making their raw idiosyncrasies and sometimes crass veneer the precise reason they're able to put fear aside and rush into burning buildings.
Though "Rescue Me" has been one of television's most daring series, the jarring tonal shifts have sometimes missed their mark. Parts of Season 4 came completely off the rails, then the writers strike delayed Season 5 for roughly 18 months. But the wait looks to be worth it, as FX plans to roll out 22 straight episodes (and there are 18 more in the future Season 6). This year, the series refocuses on the Sept. 11 fallout and relights the feverish creativity of the early seasons. There's no telling if - or probably when - a segment of this season will come unraveled, but "Rescue Me" races out of the gate as confidently brilliant as ever before, wildly mixing emotions along the way. We'll find out one of the crew has cancer that's related to the Sept. 11 attacks, and Franco (Daniel Sunjata) stirs things up when he tells a French journalist who's writing a book about 9/11 that it was "an inside job" (a conspiracy theory that Sunjata himself wholeheartedly believes and one that will undoubtedly cause friction, but Leary and Tolan believed it should be incorporated into the script).
Strap yourself in for the ride.

CYCLIST Mark Beaumont has been the victim of road rage in Florida on the latest leg of his round-the-world record bid.
Angry drivers shouted comments at the 25-year-old, who didn't know bikes are frowned upon on the busy Panama City Beach coastal road.
The trouble came just days after he was robbed by crack addicts in Lafayette, Louisiana.
Mark, of Bridge of Cally, Perthshire, is still on course to smash the world record of 276 days.
He said: "The whole Florida coastal front is busy and, unfortunately, bicycles are not well looked upon.
"Regular angry horns were blown at me and abusive comments shouted from cars.
"I caught up with one such car at the traffic lights and said I had a right to be on the road.
The reply I got was shocking and very inhospitable.
"Because of all my luggage, I couldn't use the cycle path."
Mark flew out of the US yesterday for the final leg from Lisbon to Paris. He is due there on February 15.
He has been on the road for 184 days and has cycled more than 17,100 miles of the 18,000- mile charity trip.

Steven Johnson (2010), the popular author of "Where Good Ideas Come From- The Natural History of Innovation", wrote that innovation is structure based. A cornerstone of Johnson's (2010) book is this idea of an informal, liquid network in which ideas collide. Johnson (2010) visualized the liquid network as the Hogarth's painting "Humours of an Election". Ideas generate from informal meetings not that company annual retreat in Florida ac-cording to Johnson (2010). The closer the people's ideas are in space and time, the better the chance for the ideas to collide with a few new (idea) bonds formed along the way. Johnson's use of network would better be labeled as idea management rather than being complexity driven. But for policy to be able to account for the long-term implications of idea management, ethical deliberation drives the complexity of organization. The included table compares the offerings of the liquid network of Johnson (2010) to the social networks for idea management. Collision unfortunately lacks the formality and accountability afforded by the structural relationships of social networks. Broadening idea generation beyond a "bump" illustrates the immensity of the effect of the social and political reach of policy.
People connect within a social space. According to Alba and Kadushin (1976), the measure of proximity is concerned with pairs of individuals and how "distant" they are. Traditionally, proximity is all what diffusion of social commodities, often defined by information sharing, as a flow (Alba and Kadushin 1976). In a liquid network of Johnson's conceptualization, ideas bump into each other due to the act of discourse as an event. First, there must be connections to other people and the environment supports the development of ties. Johnson concurs. There are the things colliding in a network which in Johnson's (2010) case is the idea. Discourse turns that "private solid state to a (public) liquid network" (Johnson 2010). In what Johnson (2010) called the state of adapting exaptation, people can informally engage due to the "bump factor" of these chance meetings (Johnson 2010). To Johnson (2010), innovations linger in a "slow hunch" countering the eureka moment. The power of leverage points values the ability to find a small change that can make a huge impact. This is not the same as the epiphany. Systems that undulate slowly can be most frustrating to the urgency placed on having policies work.
The liquid network is mildly bound enough to be a network but not enough to strangle innovation with rigidness. Ideas are innovative because of the people that offer them with their skills and prestige. Some ideas are drowned out or flatly ignored. Connecting the ideas as a structure is often descriptive. Which idea (or person with the idea) was most connected? Which idea structurally demonstrated power in the network of ideas? Then this whole idea of playing with private ideas within a public space by basing it on the structure of the irrational agents is the more interesting, and fruitful question to pose.
Johnson (2010) proposed that platforms, or orchestrated spaces, may foster innovation. Within these platforms, liquid networks which do not restrict movement within an organization and their innovation ideas may be better supported to thrive. The ideas take on a fluid state without outside restriction. Does the event become more consequential than the interaction supported by the event? Networks are systems in which the nodes (the things that are connected) are connected by ties. When one is interested in reasons for why people affiliate over an idea, two mode networks could be employed (Borgatti and Everett 1997). The people would be agents (set 1 mode) while the IDEAS serve as a "series of events" (set 2 mode) that they are sharing. In a two-mode network, both the idea and agent indicates the elements of the network. The idea becomes an element to be weighted with the agents and chance meetings. So there is a tie be-tween the agent and the event. The tie formation could be due to "bump factor":
1) to accept the chance meeting and
2) engage in the innovating chance meeting.
Both nodes engage in it since Johnson (2010) is basing adapting exaptation on engagement not its possibility. But a concern with approaching such two-mode networks, which mode takes the primary position? For instance, Johnson (2010) does not divorce the person from the idea and but for his paradigm the idea is element of focus. The idea is the primary node. The idea comes from the person (secondary node). The argument would also be made that if innovation is viewed as a dynamic, social experiment, the person as the primary mode may say more about why that idea even came to be in the first place. While the platform may be nature be useful in revisiting existing resources such as ideas in a liquid network, the problem often uncovered in policy is the lack of new ideas and continued reliance on existing ideas that may lead to attribution errors. To Johnson (2010), the ideas are used as bonding agents. Two-mode networks deal with the nature of affiliation. The idea is no longer just assumed but is now used as a means to investigate the structure in which ideas are embedded within the ties connecting the author of the idea (see Smith and Christakis 2008). The approach of Johnson (2010) had ideas brought "together" by its messengers as one frame. I do not believe that Johnson (2010) is marginalizing the person behind the idea of the liquid network. By stressing the network, the structure at two mode levels appears to capture the reality of how innovation in a liquid network more likely occurs.
To Johnson (2010) removing boundaries to the liquid network leads to chaos. This may be wise as any chaotic system does not return back to original state before the spiraling began. This chaos could hamper innovation by changing the new starting point and disrupting the momentum started in creating the innovative (see Feigenbaum 1983). As Johnson (2010) was intending avoiding chaos for a malleable liquid state, there is no history of events connected with a state of chaos. When things are chaotic, the past matters far less, only the energies running amok are important. What significance might this hold for developing innovation? Unlike chaotic systems, complexity is tied to its history of events upon which the system was built (see Buchanan 2000).
What is applicable to policymakers under liquid networks, according to Johnson, is less promising. In offering the example of Howard Dean's Presidential Campaign "supernova", Johnson (2010) admitted that "political leadership involves some elements (decision making and oratory) that aren't best outsourced to a liquid network." So how do policymakers innovate and think creatively under political stressors? Using Wasserman and Faust (1994) taxonomy, two-mode networks have three possible purposes under Johnson's (2010) liquid networks:
(1) The affiliation is the tie of the person/ideas (node) to the informal chance meetings (event).
(2) The "bump factor" (if it supports interaction) may make interaction, therefore innovation, more likely.
(3) In order to framing the adapting exaptation realistically, the measurement of homophily is required.
The two mode network is difficult to interpret, let alone analyze. But how ever said that policymaking was easy? People tend to clique around policy issues, perhaps based on the process of idea generation or even bunch out due to personal access due to co-location. Two modes capture this bunching up as cliques that overlap, perhaps by party affiliation or side of a legislative issue. But the point of this methods tale is not the complicated analysis but that that coming together to work policy out that on the surface can be deceivingly simplistic. This is a great example of how the mental model of a liquid network does not apply neatly to policymaking but still has a place in the discussion. Unlike the informal liquid network, the innovation required by policy must translate into proper strictures under governance. The chaos of a liquid network must be operationally linked to the structural nature of complexity. But this fact does not mean that networks, whether liquid or mathematically understood, are not useful in discerning policy. While the informal ideas that are eventually brought to the policy table may utilize adapting exaptation, the policymaking process strips away the lacquer of casualness.

Ariya Jutanugarn's comeback continues this week at the Lotte Championship in Hawaii.
Jutanugarn, 18, was a rising young star in the women's game before she tore a labrum in her right shoulder last summer tumbling off a steep slope on a tee box in a practice round at the Wegmans LPGA Championship. She is a big-hitting, major talent who might well be the third teenager in this week's Rolex Women's World Rankings if not for the injury. At the time she was hurt, she was No. 15 in the world, with $447,772 in LPGA earnings in just five starts via sponsor invites and Monday qualifying.
Jutanugarn played her way into the Lotte Championship through an LPGA qualifier Sunday in Hawaii. A Ladies European Tour pro, Jutanugarn is making just her fifth start since undergoing shoulder surgery last summer and missing seven months. She tied for fourth at the LET's World Ladies Championship in China in her best start so far this year.

Ahoy land lubbers! It's time to dive back into SeaWorld San Diego and see what is happening. The park will be turning 50 years old this spring and there are preparations being made including a brand new entrance. But in the meantime we will soon be enjoying SnowWorld! Yes, the holidays will be hitting the park by the sea and it's literally very cool! We also have a bit of SeaWorld Aquatica news for you.
Construction Central: Explorer's Reef
As we mentioned before, SeaWorld is turning 50. To mark this momentous achievement the park is receiving a brand new entrance called Explorer's Reef. Let's look at the progress thus far.
SeaWorld has also begun a new webseries – similar to what was put out during the construction of Aquatica.
The Christmas Celebration Approaches…
Promotional signage has been popping up all over the park promoting the upcoming event and Snow World! Who's excited?
The Christmas Celebration is by far my favorite event at SeaWorld, especially in more recent years. Each year, the amount of décor around the park doubles…if not triples. It's just so FESTIVE!
The trees surrounding the Natallius Pavillion also have some amazing lights all over them! What's neat is that you really can't tell until you look real close.
A little of this and just a bit of that…
Aquatica San Diego News
Some exciting news out of Aquatica: there's a new ride coming for next year! Taumata Racer is a head first racing slide, which starts off with a 180º enclosed turn before multiple lanes line up for high speed drops to the finish line.
It will be located between Walhalla Wave and Kata's Kookaburra Cove and will open on Memorial Day Weekend.
Unofficial SeaWorld Podcast
That about does it for this installment. We hope to return soon with more info on the great holiday offerings at SeaWorld San Diego. See you In The Parks!

Green Bay Packers 2012 Draft: Profiling Courtney Upshaw, OLB, AlabamaApril 21, 2012
After taking a look yesterday at the Packers' potential interest in another standout collegiate pass-rusher, Shea McClellin, today the focus shifts to Courtney Upshaw.
Prior to the Senior Bowl, and before the NFL Scouting Combine, there was no doubt as to who the top 3-4 outside linebacker prospects were in the 2012 NFL draft—South Carolina's Melvin Ingram and Alabama's Courtney Upshaw.
Both players were considered to be locks to be selected in the first half of Round 1.
Ingram has maintained his status as a likely early first-round pick, with both 3-4 teams and 4-3 teams looking at him as a safe bet to be an impact player.
Courtney Upshaw has been on the opposite end of the spectrum.
Upshaw's stock has plummeted to late first-round status, and some now wonder if he's nimble enough to play in space as a 3-4 outside linebacker. Although he excelled at outside linebacker in Alabama's 3-4 scheme while playing against the always-tough SEC, there are several concerns surrounding Upshaw's potential at the professional level.
After weighing in at 273 pounds at the combine, which is heavy for an outside linebacker, several weeks later at Alabama's pro day, Upshaw tipped the scales at 279 pounds.
For a defensive end in a 4-3 scheme, playing at 279 pounds is common; however, in the eyes of teams utilizing a 3-4 scheme, Upshaw's fluctuating weight may become a huge issue. No pun intended.
Upshaw's build has been compared to that of Steelers outside linebacker LaMarr Woodley. Upshaw (6'1.5", 272 lbs) and Woodley (6'1.5", 266 lbs) measured very similarly at their respective NFL Scouting Combine, and Woodley is now considered among the league's elite at the position.
Despite clear concerns about his weight and athletic ability, Upshaw excelled at the college level against stiff competition. He was named the MVP of last year's BCS National Championship, and became a YouTube sensation for his brilliant postgame exchange with John Saunders.
No, that's not sarcasm—I loved it. It was truly awesome.
Upshaw was perhaps the most recognizable face on Alabama's dominant defense in 2011. Along with fellow standout teammates Mark Barron, Dont'a Hightower and Dre Kirkpatrick, four Crimson Tide defenders figure to be selected in the first round of Thursday's NFL draft.
While once considered to be a possible top-10 pick, Upshaw may now be the last to come off the board among Alabama's first-round defenders.
If Upshaw falls on draft day, he'll certainly be on the radar of teams picking late in the first round—especially teams looking for an improved pass rush, like Green Bay and New England.
With a hole at the outside linebacker position opposite Clay Matthews, neither Frank Zombo, Erik Walden nor Brad Jones have taken advantage of the opportunity to be a full-time starter. If there's a player available at No. 28 who Ted Thompson thinks is capable of winning that starting spot, Thompson won't hesitate to take him.
One such player who could be of interest to Thompson and the Packers is Upshaw.
It's my honest opinion that given the choice between Shea McClellin and Courtney Upshaw, Green Bay would lean towards McClellin due to his prototypical size for the position and his versatility.
However, I think Upshaw is one of the best 15-to-20 football players in this draft, and even though the combine sometimes causes us to lose track of the fact, playing football is what teams draft players to do.
In my last mock-draft projection, I had Upshaw being selected by the Cincinnati Bengals with the 21st pick. Some things are sure to shuffle around in my final projection the morning of the draft, but I'm nearly certain that if Upshaw moves at all, it won't be up.
When referring to the draft, Ted Thompson often uses phrases such as "best player available" and "good football player" to describe what he wants to add on draft day. Provided he's available when the Packers are on the clock at No. 28, Upshaw fits both labels.


text: Consecutive Biochar Application Alters Soil Enzyme Activities in the Winter Wheat–Growing SeasonDu, Zhangliu; Wang, Yiding; Huang, Jian; Lu, Ning; Liu, Xingren; Lou, Yilai; Zhang, QingzhongSoil Science: February 2014 - Volume 179 - Issue 2 - p 75–83 doi: 10.1097/SS.0000000000000050 Technical Article Abstract Author Information Soil enzymes catalyze key biochemical processes in organic matter decomposition and nutrients cycles and are regarded as indicators of soil quality. In this study, we investigated the impact of 4 consecutive years of biochar (corncob; 360°C) amendment on dynamics of enzyme activities (i.e., invertase, urease, catalase, and alkaline phosphatase) during the winter wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growing period in Northern China. The experiment consisted of four treatments: control (CK), biochar rate at 4.5 t · ha−1 · y−1 (B4.5), biochar rate at 9.0 t · ha−1· y−1 (B9.0), and crop straw return (SR). Four times throughout the wheat growth period (i.e., 5 Nov. 2010; 26 Mar. 2011; 25 Apr. 2011; 5 Jun. 2011), we determined the enzyme activities down to the 30-cm depth of the soil profile (i.e., 0–5, 5–10, 10–20, and 20–30 cm). Results showed that there were considerable fluctuations in enzyme activities across the observed period and depths. All enzyme activities decreased significantly in deeper soil horizons. High biochar amendment rates (B9.0) lead to the peak activities of invertase, urease, and phosphatase occurring in the 0- to 5-cm layer on 25 Apr. 2011 samples. The greatest catalase activity under B9.0 was found on 26 Mar. 2011 samples. In addition, the effect by B4.5 and SR on enzyme activities was variable and limited. These data support the conclusion that consecutive application of biochar for 4 years increased enzyme activities, which potentially influence soil nutrients dynamics under field condition, although the effects were dependent on sampling depth and time.

What Should You Ask Your Doctor About Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia?
As you cope with cancer and cancer treatment, you need to have honest, open discussions with your doctor. You should feel comfortable asking any question, no matter how small it might seem. Here are some questions you might want to ask. Nurses, social workers, and other members of the treatment team may also be able to answer many of your questions.
- What is the stage (risk group) of the leukemia, and what does that mean for me?
- Will I need to have other tests before we can decide on treatment?
- How much experience do you have treating this type of cancer?
- Should I get a second opinion?
- Should I be treated at this time? Why or why not?
- What are my treatment choices?
- What do you recommend, and why?
- What are the risks and side effects with the treatments that you recommend?
- What should I do to be ready for treatment?
- How long will treatment last? What will it be like? Where will it be done?
- How will treatment affect my daily activities?
- What is the outlook for my survival?
- What will we do if the treatment doesn't work or if the leukemia recurs?
- What type of follow-up will I need after treatment?
Be sure to write down any questions that occur to you that are not on this list. For instance, you might want information about recovery times so that you can plan your work schedule. Or you may want to ask about clinical trials for which you may qualify.
Taking another person and/or a tape recorder to your doctor visit can be helpful. Collecting copies of your medical records, pathology reports, and radiology reports may be useful in case you wish to seek a second opinion at a later time.

Surely Sarah Burton deserves a holiday more than most today. The McQueen designer has spent the past few months frantically creating The Dress for Kate Middleton, now Duchess of Cambridge, so you could have forgiven her for putting her feet up now that the wedding of the year is done and dusted. But this weekend she instead hopped onto a plane and crossed the Atlantic for last night's Met Ball.
It's no surprise that she made the effort - the Ball marked the opening of an exhibition that pays tribute to her late friend and mentor, Alexander McQueen, and Burton was chosen to speak about him at the launch press conference yeasterday. She said, 'When I walked into the exhibition I thought of Lee. The emotion, passion and attention to detail that was in everything that he did. I'm very proud to have worked for him. He truly was a genius.'
Hitting the red carpet later in the evening she was dressed elegantly in a white dress of her own design - perhaps all that wedding business has been influencing her own wardrobe too.
