Welcome to the Playoffs … Dillon clinched a berth in the Playoffs for the second consecutive year and enters the Championship battle ranked 14th on the playoff grid. Fans can join in supporting Dillon's Playoff run by using the team's official Playoff Twitter hashtag, which is associated with its own emoji, #AD3.
Is there a different feel or atmosphere going into Chicagoland knowing that the Playoffs are starting?
"Well, I love Chicago. We had a test there leading up to the race and I feel like we learned some valuable information that we can use for the race. It's a fast track. I have run well there in the past. So, yeah, it's a great market to be in. Chicago, the city, is fun to be around and they have some good pizza there, too."
What sets Chicagoland Speedway apart from some of the other tracks that have a very similar size and shape?
"It's got some character with the bumps. You can really run hard, the way the exit of Turn 2 is, how the backstretch never kind of quits turning. I really enjoy the angles of the track and how you can arch and find speed all over it."
This Week's No. 27 Moen / Menards Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway … Menard has made 10 MENCS starts at the 1.5-mile Chicagoland Speedway since his first start there in 2007.

Meet Menard … Menard is scheduled to be part of the NASCAR youth autograph session at the Chicagoland display in the fan midway on Sunday, Sept. 17, starting at 10:30 a.m. local time.

Chicagoland Speedway looks like a lot of the other 1.5-mile tracks on the schedule, but what makes it unique?
"Chicagoland is one of the oldest surfaces we go to now. It has a lot of character, a lot of bumps, and it's really hard on tires. As a race car driver, those are all things you love. It's a great racetrack. It's really wide. It lays down rubber and you pick up the rubber under cautions. There are a lot of different elements you have to factor in as you prepare to race there."
This Week's Caterpillar D10 40th Anniversary Chevrolet SS at Chicagoland Speedway … Ryan Newman will make his 558th Monster Energy NASCAR Cup Series start in the first event in the Playoffs.

You are the 11th seed starting the Playoffs. With Chicagoland being the first race, how do you feel about the current state of this No. 31 team?
"We are not where we need to be, but we are in a spot where we have a chance. We continue to work on things … make the cars better, work on the pit stops, qualify better and even I need to improve. It is going to take everything. Obviously finishing in third and having four top-10s in the last five races is a good streak for us, but we must win. We have to put ourselves in position to win to get that guaranteed bye to the next round."
Does the pressure amp up for you and the team now that the Playoffs are starting?
"It doesn't amp up. I've been having fun. It's been less stressful than the past few years and the last 20-some races. Either way, these next 10 races, it's sure nice to be back in the Playoffs after missing it last year. It's a heck of a rebound for us to be back into the Playoffs and have a chance to win a championship."

Gas models are great as a hot water solution for homes with busy families, homes with luxury bathrooms and vacation homes, while electric tankless models are a great hot water solution for a single faucet or shower.
What makes you so good at Chicagoland Speedway?
"We won a NASCAR Camping World Truck Series race there, and then after that we made sure that when we go there we have a game plan. Our game plan usually is to make sure our balance is right. If we can keep our balance together and go into the track and have a plan we can usually have a productive day. It's one of my favorite tracks because it's got some uniqueness to it with the bumps."
This Week's Bulwark / Quanta Services Chevy Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway … With five previous starts under his belt at Chicagoland Speedway in the NASCAR XFINITY Series, Ty Dillon will return to the 1.5-mile track in the No. 3 Bulwark / Quanta Services Chevrolet this weekend.

Dillon will then be at the GEICO display in the midway answering fan questions and signing autographs at 11:10 a.m. local time.
You have run well at Chicago in the past. What are your thoughts as you head into the weekend?
"Chicago has always been a track that just works for me. Each time that we go, we unload a fast Chevrolet Camaro and continue to build on that speed throughout the race. We've been working a lot on our intermediate-track program at RCR, and I think that we've seen positive gains on the NXS side. We haven't been able to make it to Victory Lane yet, but we're getting closer and having solid runs each weekend. Hopefully we can put all of the pieces together this weekend and make it happen."
This Week's Blue Gate Bank Chevrolet Camaro at Chicagoland Speedway … Hemric will be making his first NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Chicagoland Speedway this Saturday. He has two previous starts at the 1.5-mile track in the NASCAR Camping World Truck Series, with a best finish of second in 2016.

You are locked into the NASCAR XFINITY Series Playoffs already. What is your goal heading to Chicagoland Speedway for the final race of the regular season?
"Getting locked into the XFINITY Series Playoffs after Darlington was a big deal for this No. 21 team. We were able to go out and try some things at Richmond, and that seemed to pay off with a strong run last weekend. Our goal this weekend is the same it has been all year; go out, lead laps, contend for the win with this Blue Gate Bank Chevrolet and try to end the day in Victory Lane. We have some momentum on our side coming out of Richmond and we hope to carry that over to this weekend at Chicagoland and into the start of the Playoffs at Kentucky Speedway."
This Week's NIBCO / Menards Chevrolet Camaro at Chicagoland Speedway … Brandon Jones has one previous NASCAR XFINITY Series start at Chicagoland Speedway, finishing 10th in last year's race at the 1.5-mile track.

Chicagoland Speedway marks the final race for the NASCAR XFINITY Series before the Playoffs begins. Will the race hold more intensity for you than other ones this season?
"The race this weekend at Chicago is definitely crunch time for us, along with a majority of teams in the garage. Chicago has been a track I've enjoyed, and I'm looking forward to getting back there this weekend. It's going to be a weekend where we need to capitalize on everything we can, and ultimately bring home the win to make the Playoffs. Chicagoland is a track I feel confident at. We finished 10th there last year in the XFINITY Series, and I had a strong run in the ARCA race as well until the transmission went out. I'll be in the ARCA race again this Thursday night, so I'm hopeful that extra track time will pay off for the XFINITY race on Saturday."
This Week's South Point Hotel & Casino Chevrolet at Chicagoland Speedway… Brendan Gaughan has eight previous NASCAR XFINITY Series starts at Chicagoland Speedway, collecting one top-five and three top-10 finishes.

Press Pass … Gaughan will be a part of an XFINITY Series Playoff contender media availability on Friday, September 15. Tune in via nascar.com/presspass to see what Gaughan says about the upcoming race weekend and his pursuit to make the Playoffs.
This is the last race weekend before the XFINITY Series starts its Playoffs. What is the race weekend going to be like for you, being on the edge of a Playoff spot?
"Everyone likes to talk about the number of 1.5-mile tracks in this series, but coming into this weekend, it is the first standard 1.5-mile track we'll visit in almost two months. So we haven't visited one in a while. Chicagoland is a unique track with the increasing radius corner for both sides and a back straightaway that's not exactly straight. It's also a big market for us this weekend, so we've got to perform well. Plus, it's also an intense weekend for us with it being the cutoff race, so it's a high pressure race for everyone. The No. 62 South Point team is in the Playoffs as of now, but we need to perform well at Chicago to seal the deal and make the cut."

What: Pipeline
Where: Stryama and Kalekovest Bulgaria
When: Nov 12 2011
Who: 2 fatalities, 2 injured
Why: While under repair, a gas pipeline between Stryama and Kalekovest in Bulgaria exploded. There is considerable speculation as to the cause, which may have been incorrect repairs made.
However, a spokesman for Bulgaria's Firefighter Services, Georgi Kunev said the blast was triggered by high pressure which burst the pipes.
Bulgartransgaz, the maintenance subsidiary of Bulgargaz, is the company hired to work on the pipes. Bulgargaz is the only public supplier of natural gas for the Republic of Bulgaria.
In the accident, there were two chambers involved in the pipeline section.
One section has a piston that sparks, and the other chamber stores the gas. Somehow, the piston sparked, and ignited the storage tank, resulting in an explosion.
In George's Point of View
(The above explanation is taken from a badly translated resource so we are puzzling over it. The facility where the blast occurred is the Stryama pump station, so possibly the piston referred to is part of the pump station. We take this to mean that the pump device operated incorrectly and initiated the spark that caused the blast.)
Two men were injured in the blast. The 42 year old was burned on 15% of his body; the forty year old suffered a fracture of the jaw, leg fractures and multiple burns, and lost an eye; he made it through the night after several surgeries.
We are glad to hear that both workers seem to be on the road to recovery and offer condolences to the other two workers who died in the blast.

Cinema operator expects quarterly, full-year revenue jumpBANGKOK -- Major Cineplex, Thailand's largest cinema chain operator, expects a jump in revenue in the first quarter and full year due to better advertising sales and the public's appetite for 3-D films.
Major holds about 11% of Indian cinema operator PVR Ltd. and is keen to raise its stake.
Major, which controls 75% of the Thai market, has seen "exciting" growth in movie ticket sales this year as Southeast Asia's second-largest economy recovers from recession, chief executive Vicha Poolvoraluck said in an interview.
"We are really kicking off with a good start," Vicha said.
The company, which competes with unlisted SF Cinema, attracts 25-30 million viewers each year. In 2009 it pulled in 1.2 billion baht ($37.1 million) in first-quarter revenue. Full-year revenue totalled 5.6 billion baht, up just 0.2% from 2008.
"Admission sales for the first two months have been amazing. This year's line-up is going to bring back a lot more people to the cinema," he said, although he expressed caution about the effect of Thailand's continuing political crisis.
The government has extended a tough security law after opposition leaders threatened to paralyze Bangkok with street protests in a bid to force new elections.
Vicha said the anti-government protest was not keeping people away from the cinema for the time being and forecast that sales would rise 10 to 15% in 2010, when it plans to raise ticket prices by 3-5% from an average 135 baht in 2009.
"India is our long-term focus and of course we want to invest more in the long run," Vicha said.
"In the longer term, we would love to increase the stake but this would depend on timing and the regulations of both countries. PVR in itself is such a good brand and we're seeing a growth opportunity there," he added.
PVR shares jumped in Mumbai by the maximum allowed 10% in response to the comment but then slipped back.
The stock has lagged the market over the past year, rising 31.2% against a 79.5% gain in the benchmark index.
Major is seeing strong momentum from the popularity of 3-D films after the huge audiences for James Cameron's three-dimensional blockbuster "Avatar," Vicha said.
"People are willing to pay more for quality, which is very interesting to see now that the economy has started to recover," he said.
According to Nielsen Research, Thai advertising spending jumped 10.7% in February to 7.2 billion baht, the highest in three years.
Major's 46-year-old chief executive is excited by the transformation in the film industry.
Hollywood is moving from conventional 35 mm film to digital products, even though costs are about three times higher, as it allows operators to increase margins on tickets, he said.
"People are screaming for anything that can leap off the screen and over the next three years, 35 mm film should become obsolete," he said, adding Major would meet with giant-screen movie operator IMAX Corp next month to discuss business opportunities.
Major, which operates 353 screens in 47 locations around the country, planned to invest 600 million baht in 2010, excluding possible overseas investment, Vicha said.
That would mainly be spent on opening 30 new screens and bowling lanes.
It plans to increase assets in its Major Lifestyle Property Fund to 4 billion baht ($124 million) in the second quarter from about 2 billion baht now, Vicha said.
The company plans to sell rental space at one of its malls to the fund, probably using the proceeds to expand other businesses.

The One Year® Chronological Bible, NKJV (Tyndale, 2013), April 4
Reality TV gives people a sneak peek (sometimes too long of a peek) into the otherwise private lives of others. The writer of Judges offers a glimpse into the development of a judge that God raises up to deliver Israel from the Philistines. It isn't pretty.
Manoah and his wife struggle with infertility. One day the Angel of the LORD appears to Manoah's wife and foretells that she will have a son. This prophecy contains two conditions and one promise: first condition, that she must not touch any unclean thing or drink wine during her pregnancy; second condition, that her son must be separated to the LORD as a Nazirite from birth until death. The promise assures her that Samson will be used by God to deliver Israel. Even early on, Samson's life demonstrates incredible potential—he kills a lion with his bare hands, but his poor choices corrupt his potential.
Like many older couples who have a son late in life, Samson's parents spoil him.
Samson sees a Philistine woman and demands that his parents get her for him. They succumb to his pressure and arrange the marriage. During the wedding feast, Samson issues a challenge—that anyone who can solve his riddle will win a large prize—and his fiancee's people threaten her until she pressures him to explain the riddle. Samson retaliates against the people's cheating by killing 30 Philistines. His wife is given to another man, and he is taken into captivity. He escapes the Philistines and is established as leader over all of Israel for 20 years.
Later, Samson's relationship with a Philistine prostitute almost causes his death. Then he falls in love with Delilah, who is his undoing. The rulers of the Philistines bribe her and threaten her and her family with death unless she uncovers the secret to Samson's strength. They cut off his hair, gouge out his eyes, and put him in prison. Samson violates every aspect of the Nazirite vow. He becomes a man of the flesh—driven by his sexual appetites.
Samson reveals a number of truths about wasted potential:
- Overindulgent parents ultimately harm the children they purport to love.
- Spoiled children never build the spiritual muscle of self-restraint.
- Without spiritual muscle, people become enslaved to their appetites.
- Passions to which people surrender become masters that bring destruction.
Samson's physical strength was amazing, but his moral weakness robbed that strength of its true potential. Samson called upon the LORD and was used greatly to destroy the Philistines in his death, but only God knows what he could have been during his life, had he been morally upright.
Questions from today's reading (Judges 11:29-15:20):
Who does the Angel of the LORD approach regarding the delivery of Israel from the oppression of the Philistines? What do Manoah and his wife come to understand about their life purpose?
What problems does Samson create for himself as he surrenders to living life according to his fleshly lusts?
What does God's use of Samson reveal about the men of Samson's day? About God's covenantal faithfulness?

The Circle Wildcats lost to the Culbertson Cowboys in their Class C basketball game Saturday night, but what happened just before the game is what people in both towns are likely to remember for a long time to come. Eight football players from Circle went through the crowd of about 150 people, collecting donations in football helmets. They raised more than $2,000 for the family of Shay Bridges, a Culbertson basketball player who recently learned he has a pituitary brain tumor. (more…) Continue Reading →

All right, another marathon and another personal best. It is mostly due to some extreme luck I had on that day. I think I cannot run it again as fast as I ran it last Saturday. I did everything wrong – preparation, running pace, but this combination of negatives generated a big plus – a big improvement to my result. I finished this marathon in top 10% – on the 63th place out of 643 marathon runners.
It all started Friday night. Me and Michael were going to run on Saturday. I was going for a marathon, and he was going to run his first 10K. As I was trying to introduce him to the world of running, I mentioned that there is a custom of eating pasta on the eve of the running day. So we went to the nearest Italian restaurant and had some nice pasta. Then we went back home. I set up my alarm clock at 4AM, as the race was scheduled for 6AM. The following night was terrible – I could not fall asleep. This happened to me only a few times before. Apparently, I was anticipating this race too much, even though I was thinking to myself that this is just another marathon, and I did a few of them before. Anyway, I got up at 3:30 AM feeling pretty drowsy and in a rather unhappy mood.
The taxi came at 5AM and in another half of an hour we arrived to Nan-liao, a coastline area of Hsinchu. It was still dark, the sun rose at around 6AM. Still, there were already plenty of people. Apparently, this marathon is a rather popular event. After doing warm-up exercises I queued at the start/finish line closer to the beginning. I know that people tend to start slowly and then you can end up in a bottleneck and waste precious time. This time the start was smooth. The weather was perfect – around 20 centigrade, no wind, clear. But it was obvious that after a few hours the sun will start to burn us, so overheating was a concern in this race. Lots of drinking and pouring water onto yourself can ease this problem, though.
All the previous mental preparation was forgotten immediately. Before the race I was trying to convince myself that I should start the marathon at a slower pace and then try to accelerate toward the end. I started this marathon at a crazy pace. First 5km were done in 20 minutes, 10k in 45 minutes which means I was running at about 15km/h. It is a typical mistake of beginners – they start fast but their juice ends pretty soon. On the other hand, if you can sustain this pace for the whole duration of the marathon, you will end up with a sub-3 hour finish which is the speed of professional runners.
Because I was running so fast, after 1 hour I found myself surrounded by professional runners. They looked at me – wow, who are you, buddy? Apparently, they knew many people participating in this marathon because they greeted someone along the track every now and then. One guy talked to me and asked what target I was shooting today – 3 hours and 30 minutes, or maybe I was going to break 3 hour mark? I answered modestly that my goal was only to run in under 4 hour time. Haha, he said, this pace is way too fast. So we slowed down, as his goal was 3 hours and 30 minutes. Together we ran the next 20 km.
It was a big luck that I ran into this guy who helped me maintain the right pace throughout this marathon. Sometimes, he was slowing down, sometimes going faster. I copied his pace without thinking much how fast we were going. We arrived at 21km mark after 1 hour 45 minutes. A few years ago when I was running half-marathons, I could not do it faster than 1 hour 50 minutes, even though I tried very hard. So in this marathon I achieved my PB in half-marathons as well.
Then another guy joined our group. This guy had lots of muscles, I thought in his real life he is a special assignments officer or a professional wrestler. But this guy was running in such a light-weight manner. As we were progressing through the marathon the heat kicked in and the wind started to blow. It was very convenient to run right behind this guy as he was protecting me against the wind. We arrived at 30km mark in 2 hours and 30 minutes. Then I felt that I cannot maintain this pace anymore. I was going to stop. I was devastated. All my dreams of finishing with a good time were suddenly gone. If I walk the remaining 10 km in about 5km/h pace then I would end up with a 4:30:00 time, which is pretty miserable given all my previous efforts. I was walking along the way in a desperate mood.
Then suddenly I heard steps of a runner behind myself. He was running rather slowly, apparently he was also tired. And I thought to myself – try to hook up with this guy, maybe you can go in a slower pace. I tried – and to my greatest surprise it worked out! I still could run, even though pretty slowly. Suddenly, the hope appeared in my mind again, I started doing various kind of mathematical exercises – if I run this many kms at this pace, and then the rest with this kind of pace, can I still make it in under 4 hours?
Most of the time, my calculation was showing that I am going to finish in 4 hours and 5 minutes, which is pretty good, but this way I would not achieve my goal of breaking 4 hours. So I was still in a pretty gloomy mood. Eventually, we arrived at 35 km mark where I saw an electric clock (as usual, I ran without wrist watch) showing that the time was 3 hours and 10 minutes. So, I had to run 7 km in 50 minutes, which is an easy task if you are fresh, but in the end of the marathon this task is next to impossible.
But this electric clock gave me the final hope that I could break the 4 hours goal in this marathon. I thought to myself – I can do it, I should do it, go for it. The temperature was around 35 centigrade, there was a strong wind blowing into my face, and I was very tired. How could I run anymore? I don't know. It was next to impossible. But I kept saying to myself: don't stop, don't stop, if you stop then you lost this race.
I was crawling like a zombie along the way. My legs were moving automatically, my body was half-bent because I was very tired. It was like in a dream. As we approached the last few kilometers more and more spectators greeted me cheering "Go! Go! Go!". So I realized that I was going to end up with some nice result and these guys are just telling me to run faster in order to come in time.
And here is the last turn and the last kilometer. People around me are clapping their hands and cheering. Now I can see the finish line and the clock in some distance. My eyesight is not so good as to allow me to see the time. As I approach the finish line I realize that the clock was showing 3:40-something. I cannot believe my eyes. Suddenly I raise my hands and yell on top of my lungs. People burst in applause. I cross the finish line. People give me something to drink and put a medal around my neck. The race is over. I am alive.

Product Description
Forty-5 and growing is a compendium of the diverse and dramatic movements recorded in The Star's headlines over four and a half decades, This hefty volume reflects that era and provides a glimpse into what happened in Malaysia and the world during that period, set against the backdrop of a popular newspaper as it grew from infancy to adulthood.
From The Star editors David Yeoh and M Veera Pandiyan:
It seemed like a daunting task when we took on the project to write Forty-5 and growing.
The immediate question was: How to fit more than 16,000 front-page stories from 45 years into a 240-page book?
By being very selective in paring back the slices of history as recorded in the headlines.
The choices were largely made on how memorable the stories were, the impact they had on the country and how they touched people's lives.
In a nutshell, this selection of page ones and accompanying summaries is meant to capture the essence of how The Star reported local and global news as it evolved from a Penang-based daily to Malaysia's leading English language newspaper.
It has been both a challenging and rewarding journey because we have been a part of The Star's amazing growth for more than three decades.
Rediscovering the trove of stories and images – from the tragic and dramatic to the fascinating and bizarre — has been another enriching experience in our career as journalists.
While compiling the content, we could not help but admire and respect the newspaper's past editorial staff and others involved in producing it.
This volume is a testimony of how they toiled to produce the daily wrap of news, business, sports, features and entertainment without the aid of today's digital tools.
We hope that Forty-5 and growing provides another vital connection to readers and supporters of The Star as a heart-felt commemoration of what the newspaper has stood for, then and now.

OP-ED: Courant Expresses First Amendment Concerns
In Defense of Watchdog Lawsuit
by Staff Report | Oct 21, 2009 6:29pm
() Comments | Commenting has expired | Share
Posted to: Courts, CT Watchdog, Media Matters, Opinion
The Courant has begun its defense in the wrongful termination lawsuit I brought against it last month by claiming that losing this case would have a detrimental effect on all newspapers and other media in Connecticut.
This case, lawyers for The Courant wrote, involves issues "that raise questions…on the freedom of the press and the Defendants' ability to control the content of their newspaper."
That claim was contained in The Courant's request that the suit be transferred to the Complex Litigation Docket.

It was also the first time developing countries frankly acknowledged their own primary responsibility to improve their policies and institutions, instead of blaming all of their woes on evil outsiders. Since Monterrey, many developing countries, including those in Africa, have made great strides, partly because of increased aid and debt relief, but primarily by putting their own homes in order. The world was on track to achieve at least the first Millennium Goal of halving the number of extreme poor -- and was coming close in several others.
Salil Shetty, director of the UN Millennium Campaign, told the Financial Times that developing nations are estimated to be facing losses of at least $300bn to their economies up to 2010 as a result of the economic slowdown and are particularly vulnerable to global shocks.
The United Nations, which has expressed fears that its poverty and hunger eradication programmes could be wrecked by the spreading global economic crisis, is now calling for its own bailout plan: a 300-billion-dollar package to help the world's poorest nations.
The appeal for funds is being made to the leaders of the G8 countries -- the United States, Britain, France, Germany, Japan, Italy, Canada and Russia -- who are due to participate in an economic summit hosted by President George W. Bush in Washington on Saturday.
The International Labor Organization estimates that an additional 20 million people will be unemployed before the end of 2009 and the number of people living in extreme poverty may increase by 40 million. Increased food prices cost poorer economies $324 billion last year. Added to this, if a deep recession takes hold, developing economies will be further hit by significant trade contraction and loss in remittance incomes.
In an interview with Reuters on Wednesday, Bono said the Stand Up and Take Action campaign in 131 countries had moved him to start creating a song called "Stand Up".
"It's not finished yet but it's inspired by this concept of stand up. It's a little diamond, though," Bono said, speaking by telephone from Los Angeles.
"It's not a 'let's hold hands and the world is a better place sort of song.' It's more kick down the door of your own hypocrisy," he said.

Happy Spooky Day!
I am excited about today for a few reasons.
- It's Friday, and who doesn't love Fridays?
- It's Halloween! I'm having a little party tonight to celebrate, and it is sure to be a blast!
- Tomorrow is November 1st...TOMORROW IS NANOWRIMO.
It just recently hit me that tomorrow is actually day one of NaNo. It's like I've been building up to this moment since September, and now it is only a matter of hours away. (I wonder if this is what it feels like the day before you get married…)
I'll be working on Fire Tongue, and I will hopefully finish it by the end of this month. It's hard to know how many more words and chapters it will take before the novel is complete, but I'm really hoping that 50,000 more words will bring me pretty close to the end.
I've been working on Fire Tongue since April, and my plan is to finish the first draft this November, then edit and rewrite through the early months of next year. I hope to see it in publication by Summer 2015!
I'm going to try really hard to keep up a vlog of my NaNo progress. And if I'm not able to vlog a whole lot, then I'll just try to keep my blog here updated.
Well, see you tomorrow, NaNo Land!

CNET First Look
LG Neon II (AT&T)We applaud some of the feature updates of the LG Neon II, but its various quirks prevent us from recommending it as there are better quick messaging devices in AT&T's lineup.
I'm Nicole Lee, senior associate editor of CNET.com, and this is a first look at the LG Neon II. It is LG's latest messaging phone for AT&T. On the front, there is a pretty nice and colorful 2.4-inch display. Underneath the display, you do get 2 touch sensitive soft keys. You also get a unique thumb key here, the XSA joystick. You also get the usual send and end power keys as well as the clear key. There's also a phone dialog that brings up the phone dial application. The display is only touch sensitive for the phone dialer. No other phone function is accessible beyond the touchscreen. We like using the virtual number key pad and we found it to be quite intuitive to use, but we just wish the whole phone could be touch sensitive, not just the phone dialer. On the side, there is the headset jack as well as the volume locker. On other side, you do get the micro SD card slot, the camera key as well as the multitasking key. On the top is the charger jack. On the back is the 2-mega pixel camera as well as the self-portrait mirror. When you turn the phone sideways and slide it up, you will find full four-row QWERTY keyboard. The keys are raised above the surface, so quite easy to text as well. The LG Neon II has 3G as well as GPS with AT&T navigator. Other features include stereo Bluetooth as well as access AT&T broadband services like AT&T mobile music as well AT&T video. The LG Neon II is quite affordable at only $30 with a new 2-year service agreement with AT&T. I'm Nicole Lee and this has been the first look at the LG Neon II.

With The Discovery Of Conductive Silver Ink, A Small Company Is Creating Huge Electronic Feats On Paper For Kids To Doodle Then Amaze
Austin, TX (May 15, 2017) – With as little as $8, $80 or $800 to back Circuit Scribe's new Kickstarter campaign, amazing things can happen for kids who doodle with conductive silver ink that sparks imagination! That's not just Circuit Scribe bragging but also the folks from the Toy Industry Association. They tapped this young company and its new way of play with a prestigious (and rare) 2017 Toy Of The Year Nomination.
Circuit Scribe has turned ink and paper into another dimension – working circuitry drawn by children. This month they are focused on final design stages for three intriguing new kits – a DIY Drone, a DIY Calculator and a DIY Lite Wings. With a little funding for these amazing kits, prototypes will become learning tools for youngsters to tinker, doodle and dream.
Anyone familiar with the Kickstarter phenomenon knows that there is an enormous global community built around creativity and creative projects. In fact, over 10 million people have backed a Kickstarter project. Could you be next?
"Our goal is for young people to take what they've learned from our educational kits (see the extensive website http://www.circuitscribe.com for current kits and bundles), and apply that knowledge with our three new DIY project kits," explains Stephanie Page, Director of Sales & Marketing for Circuit Scribe.
"Our original kits emphasized education by teaching basic circuitry principles, while our new kits emphasize application by allowing you to apply those concepts to DIY projects, using the classic Circuit Scribe pen to draw the connections," continues Page. "By returning to Kickstarter, we can be sure there is sufficient interest in these new kits before launching!"
Backer Rewards are expected to arrive in October 2017 and include three do-it-yourself kits for kids:
Drone — this kit really flies off the page! Create a 4-propeller drone using cardboard as the body. This kit can be reconfigured to change the drone's size or even turn it into a flying paper airplane. If you're already a fan of drones or quadcopters, try your hand at creating one out of paper!
Calculator — patent-pending thin PCB clip-on design allows students to remake and remix this project over and over again. Imaging drawing a working calculator in a science notebook, a day planner or Bullet Journal. This kit is enabled by capacitive touch sensors (an electrical engineering term!). It's an advanced topic, but anyone can create an original design with these tools.
Lite Wings — this amazing DIY kit is perfect for anyone who knows circuit basics! Kit components are pre-attached to the paper, precisely weighted for peak aerodynamic action. Step back and watch what happens.
Circuit Scribe Pen
The core of every Circuit Scribe project is the specially designed Pen, filled with non-toxic silver ink, that makes creating circuits as easy as doodling. Circuit Scribe can write on anything that a typical rollerball pen can. Printer paper, construction paper, cardstock and photo paper can be transformed into working circuits!
Newest Platform: Sketch
New this year is the company's platform, Sketch, built for kids, teens and grownups to upload their work and inspire other makers. At sketch.circuitscribe.com there is an AP Physics Intro to Circuits lesson plan using a Digital Multimeter and real LEDS! A simpler lesson plan is Sound The Alarm for students as young as first grade. The step-by-step instructions have kids creating a "paper alarm system to protect special items. Learn about how an inverter circuit plays together with a pressure sensor to activate a Buzzer when unwanted activity occurs."
The amazing free resource—including a how-to Stained Glass House, Light Bulb Card and Spooky Ghost — requires a sign up and then sign in password.
$8 to $1500 Kickstarter Page
As their Kickstarter page at:
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/electroninks/circuit-scribe-diy-electronic-kits enthusiastically reveals, "These brand new kits are a departure from our original color-coded magnetic modules, using a few new innovative ways to attach components to paper."
Potential investors will discover, "while it's exciting to introduce some new methods for attaching components to paper, we need to open brand new product tooling and create new protocols for assembly. That's why we're coming full circle and asking you, the Kickstarter community, to help make this possible!
With that in mind, watch how a little funding (pledge $80 for the Hacker Pack) can make a big impact on budding engineers, artists, architects and scientists.
Based in Austin, Texas, Circuit Scribe creates educational electronic design kits for all ages. The company's centerpiece is the remarkable rollerball pen filled with non-toxic conductive silver ink. From the kitchen table to the classroom desk, Circuit Scribe entices students to learn about circuit design and electronics in a simple and fun way – on paper.

It's tough to get an investment banking interview
December 2nd, 2010
Dear Andy,
I have been trying to help Steve, a college friend of my son. He has been pleased with the support he has been given by the career services office. However, he seems frustrated as a Math Econ major because he feels excluded from i-banking and private equity interviews that the business school students are getting. He is not negative and has gotten some good interviews and is just trying like crazy. Is there something he should do to be able to get more of these types of interviews?
A Helpful Dad
Dear Helpful Dad,
Sam has a nice resume, but to be honest, it's not quite at the level that the i-bankers are looking for. Most i-banks require students to have at least 3.5 or higher; and the top tier banks want students above 3.7. This is the primary reason why he can't get those interviews. The banks will look at any student with those grades (so it's not only about being just a business school student – although it can appear that way because so many apply and get interviews relative to the number of non-business school students).
I am sorry that the i-banks are so rigid, but that's the world he's trying to get into. The main strategy at this point is that he has to network – a lot. And then, perhaps, an alum or friend will 'sponsor' him by saying "He's worth your interviewing, so please give him a shot."
He should not rely on just applying for jobs by sending his resume into a HR mailbox with thousands of other resumes in which at least a hundred of them have above a 3.5.
He is doing the directionally correct thing by talking to you, but he really should speak with alumni 2-10 years out of college. They are the folks who will give him the most relevant information on the career path and advice on how to get in the door (as they did or as they are seeing it currently happen in their firm). We are training students to use LinkedIn to find these alums, so he should go to one of these workshops or make an appointment with a career counselor who can teach him how to use it.
I am guessing that this isn't exactly what he wants to hear, but hopefully it will help him decide if he wants to do the very hard work of "networking" for it or look for other types of opportunities (which the career services office can help him with). The window to get a full-time job for next fall in i-banking is almost closed because they do their interviews between September and November – unless it's a smaller, boutique i-bank.
Also, private equity is not an option right out of college except for a select few people… in the world. These few students who have that option typically had private equity internships and are returning to the same firm, interned at places like Goldman or Blackstone last summer (very rare), and/or have a parent who runs a PE firm or who has personal or family connections. They also likely have above a 3.7 from an Ivy League-type school – since many PE firms are run by Ivy League alums.
These firms are incredibly selective and hire very few people each year (sometimes none), so it's best for every student to develop alternative options. To help set students expectations in the job search, I frequently tell students to "hope for the best, but be prepared for the worst" given the inherent uncertainty in the process. I say this not to be discouraging, but to motivate students to work diligently to create multiple options.

It is amazing to see how fresh eyes often catch errors that you might have ignored while developing the storyboard. So, it is a good idea to know the areas where the common mistakes hide. Therefore, to help you to minimize errors, I have put together a list of common errors we often overlook. These include:
- Abbreviations:In the context of abbreviation usage, we often make the mistake of using Latin abbreviations; this might lead to complications with translations. And, moreover, it also becomes difficult for other learners across the globe to comprehend the exact meaning of such abbreviations.
Better to avoid: e.g., i.e., lbs., etc.
Use "for example," "that is," "pound," and "and more."
- Capitalization:
Capitalize proper nouns and avoid capitalization of common nouns, prepositions, articles, and conjunctions. We can only capitalize common nouns, if they are copyrighted or trademarked words and the others if they were to be emphasized in a particular title or sentence.
Another area, where we need to be careful is in the use of hyphenated compound words in titles, such as Follow-up, Long-term-we should capitalize only the first element (Follow and Long), and the second elements (up and term) will not be capitalized unless they are trademark words.
A New Hope for a New Land!-"for" is a preposition, so better use lowercase.
Arguments For and Against a New State-we are emphasizing here, so "for" in uppercase.
- Commas:
Is there any difference between the two given sentences?
- Let's eat son.
- Let's eat, son.
Believe me; a single comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence. So, you need to be meticulous about its usage. The usual rule that we follow is this: use a serial comma before the last item of a series of words. Another important point to note is – If you were to join two independent clauses, it is better to use a comma before a conjunction.
The bag is lightweight and it can be carried around easily.
The bag is lightweight, and it can be carried around easily.
– place comma before "and" because it joins two independent clauses.
- Numerals and Units of Measurement:
Insert a space between the number and its corresponding units of measurement. For example, 40 GB hard disk. But there is one exception to this rule; do not insert a space between the number and its unit of measurement (mm) when it is used in a photographic context (Source: PHI Style Guide, Pg.54). For example, it is appropriate to write-This is a 35mm lens.
Another, important aspect is that it is wise to represent values as numbers in specifications (product, etc.) or in an overview list, but spell them out when used in textual context.
2 5-inch memory card.
Two 5-inch memory card.
– Spell "2" when used in textual context.
- Approach:
In spite of these rules, there are some more points that need to be pondered.
First, it is preferable to use active voice instead of passive. The sentence should be simple enough without any jargons. A complex sentence may lead to complications with translations and comprehension in other geographical areas.
Second, it is always appreciated to remove redundant words. Better to use "to" instead of "in order to". Don't use "both alike" when "alike" itself is sufficient.
Third, while writing a list of items, it would be better if you can maintain parallelism for all elements. For example: Bob creates, writes, and modifies programs.
Banking stocks were hurt by the sluggish economy.
The sluggish economy hurts banking stocks.
To summarize, we have now discussed some of the rules that need to be followed to close loopholes of our grammatical ambiguity or writing approach. I am sure that these rules will pave the way for a consistent, easily digestible content.
I am not still over with these rules. There are some more rules that are to be shared in my next post. Until then, you can enjoy learning and upgrading your writing skills using these rules.

Having had a spiritual experience as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to others, and to practice these principles in all our affairs.
Step 12, the last step in the Celebrate Recovery program—giving back, sharing the message, serving. What's the big deal?
If you are anything like I was when I entered recovery, I didn't think that God could use me, and I didn't want to be used by Him. I was too busy and selfish. I thought serving was for other people—you know the ones—the people with the cheerful attitude and the really 'godly' people.
When I did finally sign up to serve, it was because I felt guilty after one of those Sunday messages where the pastor asked people to serve. My spouse was serving in the children's ministry so I decided to join him. I didn't really have the patience to be around children and my heart wasn't in it. It eventually led to resentment, and I stopped serving altogether. It was then that I learned that 1 Corinthians 9:7 wasn't just a scripture about monetary giving to the church:
"Each of you should give what you have decided in your heart to give, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."
Shortly after that phase of my walk with Christ, I started attending Celebrate Recovery. I was hungry for spiritual growth and healing, but not interested in serving. During my first year in recovery, I read The Purpose Driven Life, by Rick Warren. I learned that God uniquely shaped me for serving, with my Spiritual gifts, Heart, Abilities, Personality and Experiences (SHAPE). I had to figure out how. There are many assessments and tools that one can take to help figure out how we are wired, such as Myers-Briggs (MBTI) and Gallup Strength Finders.
Rick Warren goes on to say:
"God intentionally allows you to go through painful experiences to equip you for ministry to others. The Bible says, 'who comforts us in all our troubles, so that we can comfort those in any trouble with the comfort we ourselves receive from God.' (2 Corinthians 1:4)
If you really desire to be used by God, you must understand a powerful truth: The very experiences that you have resented or regretted most in life—the ones you've wanted to hide and forget—are the experiences God wants to use to help others. They are your ministry!"
God wanted to recycle my pain and use it for others!
As I worked through the 12 Steps, I saw and felt how God was giving me a heart of compassion. He was turning my walk from a head-knowledge to a heart experience. My compulsive behaviors and other weaknesses were now something I could use to help others. The healing I received going through my 12 Steps was giving me the qualifications and the 'God-confidence' that I needed to be used by Him.
I've come a long way in my walk of faith and ministry to others. There have been many times that I have felt and believed I was not equipped to serve or lead others. He has always shown up to give me His confidence to boldly share my story of His work in me.
Each time I took a bigger step into ministry or was being stretched beyond my comfort zone, I was reminded of a phrase I'd heard in ministry circles: "God doesn't call the qualified, He qualifies the called."
If you are new to recovery, rest assured that God is going to use you and your story. Just as we are encouraged to take baby steps when we start recovery, we can do the same in stepping up to serve.
Be open to it. Be ready to follow that nudge to serve—not out of guilt or compulsion, but out of a grateful heart. And when you do, it will not only bless others, but it will bless you back.
"But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.' Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ's power may rest on me." (2 Corinthians 12:9, NIV)

Click here to download the complete book as a FREE PDF (no signup requested). This was made possible by a grant from Axel Ockenfels' Cologne Laboratory of Economic Research. Sign up below to get news of any developments regarding Global Carbon Pricing (likely no more than 2 emails per year). The hard copy version is $35 at MIT Press, and the eBook is $24. Available also on Amazon. List of Authors:
- David JC MacKay was Chief Scientific Adviser to the UK Department of Energy
and Climate Change.
- Joseph E. Stiglitz is the 2001 Nobel Laureate in Economics
- Jean Tirole is the 2014 Nobel Laureate in Economics
- Martin L. Weitzman is Professor of Economics at Harvard University
- William Nordhaus who has been publishing papers on climate change since 1977
- Ottmar Edenhofer who served as Co-chair of WG III of the IPCC
- Also: Richard N. Cooper, Peter Cramton, Christian Gollier, Éloi Laurent, Axel Ockenfels, Ian Parry, and Steven Stoft
Remarkably, all 13 authors agree with the core principle of the book — that a common international commitment to carbon pricing can reduce the free-rider problem and help protect nations that cooperate. In fact, the book's major argument for global carbon pricing is not economic efficiency (still a good reason), but rather that it fosters cooperation.
Thanks very much!

RAFA BENITEZ today urged the FA not to take action against Jamie Carragher for his criticism of referee Mike Riley.
Liverpool have been informed the FA are analysing Carragher's comments made following the Reds' controversial defeat to Chelsea last weekend.
But Benitez says he's bemused by the suggestion there was anything wrong in his defender's observation.
And he's 100 per cent behind his player for what he describes as an 'honest' assessment of Riley's performance.
"What is wrong with what he said? In my opinion, everyone has seen the penalty claim. When a player has worked hard for 90 minutes and sees this, he is disappointed," said Benitez.
"Carragher is not only a good professional but a very clever player and I don't think he has said anything wrong.
"All the people who watched television can see it was a penalty. Okay, it was a mistake, but in an important game it's difficult to accept when you see these mistakes, especially for a player who's been running so hard for 90 minutes.
"He's been honest and the question for me is how to resolve the problems, not worry about what's been said later. Then the players won't have to say anything."

Schizoaffective disorder can be difficult to diagnose and treat because its symptoms are a combination of other mental-health conditions. Although there is no cure, establishing an appropriate treatment plan can give you or your loved one the best chance at living a fulfilling life.
Knowing That In-Patient Treatment Is Important
Treating schizoaffective disorder can be difficult in the early stages of diagnosis, and it can be difficult to maintain stability throughout life. Some people with severe mental illness need frequent in-patient hospitalization and may not be able to live independently once they leave the hospital. Outpatient treatments can make it difficult to establish a treatment plan, and it is nearly impossible to ensure the patient is taking their medications and abstaining from alcohol or recreational drugs. There are several benefits to in-patient settings.
With schizoaffective disorder, having an affective disorder combined with delusions or hallucinations can put the person at an elevated risk of self-harm. They may be suicidal because of depression or because their delusions cause paranoia. Self-harm can also take the form of engaging in risky behaviors, such as indiscriminate sex, drug experimentation, or driving under the influence. With in-patient treatment, the risk of self-harm behaviors is drastically reduced. If the person is deemed suicidal, they may be placed in a special room with limited items to ensure they cannot harm themselves.
In-patient treatment also makes it easier to try different medications, make sure patients are taking their medication, and monitor side effects. Abruptly stopping treatment may be common in some people with schizoaffective disorder because of significant side effects. It is much easier to find a medication that may be equally effective with fewer side effects when the person can be monitored during treatment. Additional medications can be added that may counteract some of the side effects if they are severe or if the medication is successful in managing symptoms and the psychiatrist wants to avoid trying another medication that may not be effective.
Finding the Right Combination of Medications
Regardless of the treatment setting, finding an appropriate treatment for schizoaffective disorder can be difficult. Since the mental-health condition combines aspects of affective disorders and psychotic disorders, schizoaffective disorder is easier to misdiagnose as an affective disorder or schizophrenia alone. When a psychiatrist is unsure of the right diagnosis, trying an antipsychotic might be the best approach. Although there are few treatments approved for schizoaffective disorder, antipsychotic medications are typically used to treat schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and treatment-resistant depression, potentially making it effective for schizoaffective disorder.
Antipsychotic medications such as Abilify and Geodon tend to have a lower side-effect profile than some antipsychotic medications and will give the psychiatrist the opportunity to determine whether there is any symptom improvement with an antipsychotic alone. Changes can be made based on the patient's response to an antipsychotic. If depression becomes more of an issue after antipsychotic therapy, an antidepressant may be added, with selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRI) being the preferred class of antidepressants. A higher dose of the current antipsychotic medication or a change to a different antipsychotic medication may be warranted if schizophrenia-like symptoms are still present. The incorporation of mood stabilizers such as lithium may be necessary if symptoms of bipolar disorder remain present.
Using Multiple Types of Therapy
Various types of therapy are important for managing schizoaffective disorder when combined with medication. Psychotherapy is used to help resolve or minimize problems that may contribute to affective disorders and deal with hallucinations or delusions. Some people with schizoaffective disorder may have poor functioning and could benefit from therapeutic environments that incorporate life-skills training or occupational training.
Although some people with schizoaffective disorder may never live independently, therapeutic environments can help with social skills and encourage them to participate in activities of daily living or household management if these activities have been neglected. It is important to remember a diagnosis of schizoaffective disorder does not mean there is no hope of living a fully independent and high-functioning life. Maintaining a medication regimen and engaging in other treatments have helped people with schizoaffective disorder regain their lives.
Schizoaffective disorder is less well known than its components, schizophrenia and affective disorders, making it easily and poorly understood. Fortunately there are medications and treatment approaches to mitigate symptoms and enjoy life.Share

During an interview broadcast on Wednesday's "CNN Newsroom," author, New York Times opinion writer, and Purdue Associate Professor of English Roxane Gay stated she "would have a hard time" talking to a relative who voted for Donald Trump.
Gay said she would talk politics over Thanksgiving, and that she has a Republican brother who, she joked, "voted for Hillary Clinton, thank goodness. So we can speak to him. He won't be banished."
When asked, "You truly wouldn't speak to a relative who voted for Trump?" Gay responded, "I mean, it depends. I mean, I think that a vote for Trump is a vote against so much of what I stand for and believe in, that I would have a hard time, but I think it's very easy to say oh, I'm never going to speak to you again. And in reality, you love who you love. And so, I think a lot of people are going to bridge the distances between them and their family members over the holidays, and, you know, I honestly can't fault that."
