Regulating Your Home's Climate with Solar Techniques
You can harness the power and heat of the sun — the planet's most sustainable energy source — to provide most of your needs for heating, cooling, and daylighting with relatively little cost to you and a great carbon saving for the Earth.
Passive solar energy techniques
Passive solar design takes advantage of the fact that the summer sun is higher than the winter sun. Overhangs shade the building from the summer sun, keeping it cool. The same overhangs allow the lower winter sun to enter the building and heat an interior thermal mass wall.
Passive solar design works in most climates, but it works best in areas with seasonal changes in weather. A sun-facing, thermal mass wall behind some glass is called a trombe wall. The space between the glass and the wall fills with hot air. Vents at the top and bottom of the wall control this hot air, allowing it to be used to heat the building.
The best approach to passive solar is to use the principles to influence and shape the design of your home. Although considering passive solar during the initial design of your home is best, even an existing building can benefit from these ideas. Passive solar systems don't add to the cost of the building, and you'll see an immediate improvement in your energy use.
Active solar energy techniques
Active solar is a design strategy for high-performance, ultra-energy-efficient buildings. Active solar incorporates all the elements of a passive solar design with additional mechanical equipment, such as pumps or fans, to take advantage of the heat from the sun. This equipment can include some elaborate technologies, such as:
Motorized shades: Timers and sensors control when window shades are raised and lowered, which controls heat gain from the sun.
Solar trackers: Solar panels turn throughout the day to follow the path of the sun. This increases the output of the solar panels.
Vents: Thermostats and sensors control vents, which open to allow warm air into or out of the house.
Sharing solar energy around a neighborhood
Solar panels capture the sun's energy as heat and transfer the heat via piped fluid into an in-ground holding system (a geothermal application) until it's needed. In smaller communities, the heat is distributed through pipes to buildings throughout the community to provide warmth. In other applications, the heat drives a central steam generator to create electricity.

According to the Centers for Disease Control, each year, one in every three adults age 65 and older falls but less than half talk to their doctors about it. Falls can cause moderate to severe injuries, such as hip fractures and head injuries, and can increase the risk of early death. In 2010, 2.3 million nonfatal fall injuries among older adults were treated in emergency departments and more than 662,000 of these patients were hospitalized.
1. Exercise regularly. It is important that the exercises focus on increasing leg strength and improving balance, and that they get more challenging over time. Tai Chi programs are especially good.
2. Ask doctor or pharmacist to review medicines. Both prescription and over-the counter medications need to be identified for side effects or interactions such as dizziness or drowsiness.
3. Have an eye exam at least once a year. Also update eyeglasses to maximize vision and consider getting a pair with single vision distance lenses for activities such as walking outside.
4. Evaluate home safety. Make homes safer by reducing tripping hazards, like throw rugs, adding grab bars inside and outside the tub or shower and next to the toilet, adding railings on both sides of stairways and improving the lighting in homes.
5. If you do fall, lower your risk of hip fracture. Get adequate calcium and vitamin D, do weight bearing exercise, and get screened regularly for osteoporosis.

I recently got a new pair of IEMs (In-ear monitors), and while sound quality is really good, I am getting a constant hissing sound when I use them with my laptop. I know that the static is caused by interference with the on-board audio, but I was wondering if a simple USB to 3.5mm adapter would have any effect on it, or would I have to get a USB sound card?
migrated from avp.stackexchange.com Jan 27 '14 at 15:06
This question came from our site for engineers, producers, editors, and enthusiasts spanning the fields of video, and media creation.
The "USB to 3.5mm adapter" you link is exactly the same thing as a "USB sound card". USB is a generic digital protocol; the only way to "adapt" it is to provide the USB-device and digital-to-analog hardware that is commonly called a "USB sound card".
The remaining question is the quality of the device. I would be wary of a device which calls itself an "adapter" and is notably cheap and small being built low-quality to the point of not being an improvement over your laptop's built-in audio hardware, but that's just speculation based on marketing, not an actual technical fact.
In the end, what you need to know is that the thing you are looking to buy, under whatever name, is the electronic device primarily responsible for the accuracy of the signal going into your headphones, including the absence of the hiss you are concerned about. For this particular problem, the quality of that device is the only thing that matters.

Exam boards cleared in GCSE row
A High Court judge has ruled that teenagers who fell foul of changes to GCSE English were treated unfairly - but exam boards and regulator Ofqual did not act unlawfully.
An alliance of hundreds of pupils and schools and scores of local councils, as well as teaching unions, have lost their unprecedented legal challenge over GCSE English exam grades.
The alliance accused the AQA and Edexcel exam boards of unfairly pushing up the grade boundaries for English last summer in what amounted to "illegitimate grade manipulation" and "a statistical fix" involving exams regulator Ofqual.
But two judges at London's High Court dismissed the challenge. Lord Justice Elias, sitting with Mrs Justice Sharp, said Ofqual had appreciated there were features which had operated unfairly and proposed numerous changes for the future designed to ensure problems that had arisen would not be repeated.
The judge said: "However, having now reviewed the evidence in detail, I am satisfied that it was indeed the structure of the qualification itself which is the source of such unfairness as has been demonstrated in this case, and not any unlawful action by either Ofqual or the AOs (exam boards)."
The judges were told at a hearing in December that an estimated 10,000 pupils who sat exams in June last year missed out on a C grade - the minimum grade normally needed to go into further education.
The two exam boards had both conceded, with the benefit of hindsight, that it may have been the case that students who took exams in January were "treated more generously than they ought to have been" than those who sat them in June, under different grade boundaries. But they rejected accusations by the alliance of an "illegitimate grade manipulation as a result of a statistical fix."
Joan McVittie, headteacher of Woodside High School in north London, which was part of the alliance, and past president of the Association of School and College Leaders (ASCL), said: "We are bitterly disappointed. This case was taken on behalf of young people who were affected last summer. This has affected their life chances considerably."
Ofqual chief regulator Glenys Stacey said: "We welcome the decision of the court that, faced with a difficult situation, Ofqual did the right thing and the fairest thing, for the right reasons. We know some students and schools will be disappointed with this. We understand that. But it's our job to secure standards."
Sir Steve Bullock, mayor of Lewisham Council, which was part of the alliance, said: "This is a very frustrating outcome. We note that the judge accepted that the case exposed unfairness and that it was right that this was properly investigated in the court room. But that is no consolation for the thousands of students up and down the country who will have to continue to live with the consequences of this unfairness. We wish them every success in the future."

As time went by, and I learned a lot more about the language, as part of a learning exercise I set myself, I created the system I was looking for, and now, I'm creating the tutorial I was looking for all that time.
Knowledge of PHP 5.2+
Knowledge of Database Interaction (Interaction is not handled by this tutorial)
Basic knowledge of Object Orientated Programming (OOP) and PHP Classes
The ability to read, understand and think for yourself.
As listed within the Prerequisites, I will not handle any form of Database interaction in this tutorial, which could be viewed as more of a walk-through. There are two main reasons for this, 1, I use a PDO Database Wrapper I created, which would not show the full database queries, and 2, This is a tutorial for an authentication class, not database interaction.
Let's begin by discussing some of the security problems we are looking to negate by creating this authentication class. Now I'm a believer in using OOP, and distributing reusable code, why write something that's already been written? So instead of re-writing, I'm going to offer some links to better understand what we are trying to block. Please don't just skip past these links, it's important to fully understand what you're doing, before you start doing it.
Session Hijacking
Session Fixation
Rainbow Tables
Database Design
-- Table structure for table `users`
-- Holds user accounts
CREATE TABLE users ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, email char(128) NOT NULL, password char(128) NOT NULL, user_salt varchar(50) NOT NULL, is_verified tinyint(1) NOT NULL, is_active tinyint(1) NOT NULL, is_admin tinyint(1) NOT NULL, verification_code varchar(65) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
id – Used to told the unique identifier for each table row
email – holds the users email address
password – holds the hash of the users password
user_salt – contains the users salt value
**Non Essentials**
These fields are once I use, but you don't necessarily need to use.
is_verified – 0 or 1, holds whether the account has been verified
is_active 0 or 1, holds whether the account is active
is_admin 0 or 1, holds whether the account is an admin account
verification_code – holds the verification code for the user
-- Table structure for table `logged_in_member`
-- Holds members currently logged in
CREATE TABLE logged_in_member ( id int(11) NOT NULL auto_increment, user_id int(11) NOT NULL, session_id char(32) binary NOT NULL, token char(128) NOT NULL, PRIMARY KEY (`id`) )
id – Unique identifier of logged in member (can be used to count logins for display)
user_id - ID of user logged in
session_id – ID of users session
token – Users unique token
You will learn more about what each row is for as we move along.
Our authentication is going to be object-orientated, and we will use a class to hold all of our methods needed for this system.
<?php class Auth { private $_siteKey; public function __construct() { $this->siteKey = 'my site key will go here'; }
A nice and simple start to our class. First, we have declared our class and gave it the name of Auth, we have told it their will be one class wide variable, called $_siteKey (the _ shows it is private, this is a naming convention, and is not required, but is good practise). We have used the private keyword, because we do not want any class extending this one (for whatever reason you would create one) to be able to access the siteKey.
The siteKey is the first of two salt's we will use in this authentication class, the second we will discuss later. Your siteKey can be anything you want it to be, and as a rule of thumb, the longer the better. I would say use at least 50 characters, and try to avoid the use of actual words or phrases. 'ddhue**2o' is better than 'banana'.
Next, we set our classes __construct() function. This function is automatically called every time our class is instantiated, so if we call $Authenticate = new Auth(); then the __construct() function is called. We will take advantage of this, and this is where we will set out site-wide salt. Your salt should be different for every web-application you use this class on, but should not be changed on any single website after deployment as it will 'break' all current accounts.
Next, we will create a method that will return a random alphanumeric string of the length we pass it. This method will be private, as it is designed for use in this class only. However, this is more of a 'utility' method, and if you wish, you may place it in another functions file (In projects, I normally have a file containing the 'bit-part' methods I use) and use it from that location, just be sure to include the file if you place it elsewhere.
private function randomString($length = 50) { $characters = '0123456789abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz'; $string = ''; for ($p = 0; $p < $length; $p++) { $string .= $characters[mt_rand(0, strlen($characters))]; } return $string; }
When calling the function we pass if a $length value, which is defaulted to 50. This method will be called in our class when we are creating a users individual salt value, which you, the developer, will not even know. This is a fairly simple method, which iterates $length amount of times, adding a randomly selected character from the $characters string. (Feel free to add more characters into the array, there is no need to duplicate characters).
Next, we want to create a function which will Hash the data we pass it. We don't want to encrypt our passwords, as encryption is reversible, whereas a hash cannot be reversed. This is exactly what we need, as at no point do you need access to you user's passwords, and at no point should you be displaying these passwords (And at the same time, there is never a need to display the password hashes). If a user forgets their password, a new random password should be sent to them, insisting they change it upon login. Other sensitive data being stored in a database such as names and addresses should be encrypted.
As this method is designed for use only within this class, we want it to be private, with a name like hashData. We then want to pass it the parameter $data, which we want hashing.
Our function will simply return a hash_hmac of our data, I would strongly recommend using the sha512 hashing algorithm. Set the hash_hmac $key parameter to that of $this->_siteKey, to use the classes own siteKey value.
protected function hashData($data) { return hash_hmac('sha512', $data, $this->_siteKey); }
Next we will create the function isAdmin, which we want to be public. This function will simply check the $_SESSION['user_id'] against it's database row, to check the value of the is_admin field. If it is 1, the function should return true, and we have an admin, if it is 0, the function should return false, as the user is not an admin. This function is not needed if you chose not to add the is_admin field to your database.
public function isAdmin() { //$selection being the array of the row returned from the database. if($selection['is_admin'] == 1) { return true; } return false; }
Now we want to create a user, another public function which would be called from a registration script (My createUser function holds no validation of any kind, as I do this before calling this method.)
So go ahead and create a function which will be passed an email, a password and, if you opted to use the is_admin field, this function will also hold a parameter for is_admin (Mine holds a default as 0, meaning not an admin). Within this function, we want to create a $userSalt, by calling the randomString function and using it's return value as our users individual salt. The individual salt is created in case an attacker manages to access your siteKey. Next, we need to add a pinch of salt to our password. Here you have some options. You can simply prepend or append the salt onto the password parameter, or insert it into the middle (although remember how you add it for when we create a login method.) Once the salt has been added, we call our hashData method, passing it the salted password, and storing the return value, as this is our completed hashed password. If you chose to keep the verification code, also call the randomString function to create a verification code.
All of this data should then be committed to the database, not forgetting to also set your is_verified and is_active fields (I set defaults of 0 and 1, as I email the verification code to the user.).
Without any database work, your function should contain code resembling the following.
public function createUser($email, $password, $is_admin = 0) { //Generate users salt $user_salt = $this->randomString(); //Salt and Hash the password $password = $user_salt . $password; $password = $this->hashData($password); //Create verification code $code = $this->randomString(); //Commit values to database here. $created = … if($created != false){ return true; } return false; }
As for a return value, I simply return true if the user was created correctly, false otherwise. If you use the verification_code and is_verified, then you will also want to call sendVerification() to email a users verification code to them.
Login() comes next, which once again should be a public method. It's parameters should be $email and $password, which would be gathered from a login form. We will process the password in the same manner of creating it's hash, and check both values against our database.
First, use the given email to select the users row from the database, if it exists. If it doesn't, I return the integer 4, which I class as 'No Match'. If the row exists, we continue on to add the user_salt field to our password, in the same manner as we did when creating the account, and proceed to call our hashData method to hash the salted password. We then check whether the password hash matches the password hash in our database.
If you use the is_verified and is_active fields, your next step will be to check, one by one, whether their values are 0 or 1. If they are 0, I return 1 for not verified, and 2 for not active. If the user is both active and verified, we proceed to the next step.
This is where we utilize our second database table, and log our member in. So we need to create a token for our user. I do this by taking a random string, and concatenating it to the users http agent, and hashing the result. As follows:
//First, generate a random string. $random = $this->randomString(); //Build the token $token = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $random; $token = $this->hashData($token);
Following the creation of the token, we want to set some session variables, but first we must start the session with session_start(). We want to set both the user's id and the token we have just generated. Then we proceed by removing any previous row the user may have in the logged_in table, and adding the new values into the logged_in_member table, using session_id() to gather the session id.
Once this is done, I return 0 if everything is successful, or 3 for 'Error Occurred', meaning everything matches fine, the user is active and verified, but an error is stopping them from logging in. In this case, I would call session_destroy() and ask the user to retry.
This method should resemble the following:
public function login($email, $password) { //Select users row from database base on $email $selection = ... //Salt and hash password for checking $password = $selection[0]['user_salt'] . $password; $password = $this->hashData($password); //Check email and password hash match database row //Convert to boolean $is_active = (boolean) $selection['is_active']; $verified = (boolean) $selection['verified']; if($match == true) { if($is_active == true) { if($verified == true) { //Email/Password combination exists, set sessions //First, generate a random string. $random = $this->randomString(); //Build the token $token = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $random; $token = $this->hashData($token); //Setup sessions vars session_start(); $_SESSION['token'] = $token; $_SESSION['user_id'] = $selection[0]['id']; //Delete old logged_in_member records for user //Insert new logged_in_member record for user $inserted = … //Logged in if($inserted != false) { return 0; } return 3; } else { //Not verified return 1; } } else { //Not active return 2; } } //No match, reject return 4; }
Our next function is one to check that a users session is legitimate upon each page request, so go ahead and call another public function checkSession(). As all of our information is stored within the session, we have no need to pass any parameters to this method.
This method will use $_SESSION['user_id'], which was set within the login method, to extract the row from logged_in_member. If no row exists, the method should return false, and a false return on the function call should result in a destroyed session and a redirect to the login page.
If the row exists, you should then check that session_id() and $_SESSION['token'] match their corresponding values in the database table. If they do, then we have the correct user, and we should call our refreshSession() method (Which hasn't been created yet, but we'll do that next.). Once the refresh has been called, and has returned true, we return true. If refreshSession() returns false, we should return false and ask the user to re-login, as they are vulnerable to session fixation.
public function checkSession() { //Select the row $selection = ... if($selection) { //Check ID and Token if(session_id() == $selection['session_id'] && $_SESSION['token'] == $selection['token']) { //Id and token match, refresh the session for the next request $this->refreshSession(); return true; } } return false; }
refreshSession() should be made private, as it will only be accessed from within our class. We need to regenerate our session id, recreate our token, change $_SESSION['token'] and update the users logged in table row. Without the database work, your method should resemble:
private function refreshSession() { //Regenerate id session_regenerate_id(); //Regenerate token $random = $this->randomString(); //Build the token $token = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'] . $random; $token = $this->hashData($token); //Store in session $_SESSION['token'] = $token;
Next we need a logout() function, which will be public. Even though we can call session_destroy() from anywhere, we have this method so we can remove the user's row from the logged_in_members table. And this is exactly what we will do. You can delete by session_id, token or user_id. I use all three although it is not necessary.
If you use the is_active and is_verified fields, you will want functions to check whether those fields are set to 0 or 1, and functions to change whether they are set to 0 or 1. These functions will accept $user_id as a parameter, in most cases will use $_SESSION['user_id'], but can also be used when listing all members within a admin area for easy management.
If you require the sendVerification($user_id) function, then create it public, so it can be used to resend verification, and it must require the $user_id parameter. This function should select the verification_code from the users table, dependant on $user_id, and use the mail function to send the mail. Something like so:
//$email = users email taken from table $subject = 'Your verification code'; $header = 'Sent by my website'; $message = 'Your verification code is' . $verification_code; mail($email,$subject,$message,$header);
You also want a function to check your verification code. Say in your message you provided a link to www.mywebsite.com/verify.php?email=email&code=code, you would use $_POST to extract email and code, and pass them to checkVerification($email, $code); which would use the email to check whether the code is correct, if it is correct it would then set the users is_verified status to 1.
And that is our Auth class complete. If you have any trouble feel free to contact me through www.everythinggeek.co.uk, or ask for help on the almighty dreamincode.net forums. A simple change you could implement yourselves would be a function to extract the users email based on their user id, and to call this within the sendVerification() method.
To put this class to use, when a user navigates to a page that requires authentication, we begin by using session_start(), and instantiating out Auth class. First we use a simple check to see if $_SESSION['user_id'] is set, if it isn't we direct the user to the login page. If it is set, we use checkSession() to make sure the session is legitimate. If it isn't, we call logout() and ask the user to re-log, if i's legitimate, we allow the user access to the page.
<?php require_once 'Classes/Auth.php'; session_start(); $auth = new Auth(); if (!isset($_SESSION['user_id'])) { //Not logged in, send to login page. header( 'Location: index.html' ); } else { //Check we have the right user $logged_in = $auth->checkSession(); if(empty($logged_in)){ //Bad session, ask to login $auth->logout(); header( 'Location: index.html' ); } else { //User is logged in, show the page }
For admin only pages, ontop of what we do on normal pages, we simply check if isAdmin() is true, if it isn't we don't allow any access.
$admin = $auth->isAdmin(); if($admin == true) { //User is admin, continue. } else { //User is not an admin }
To login, we gather the user's email and password from a login form, and pass it to Auth's login($email, $password) method, if it returns 0, we redirect to our logged in index page, otherwise we throw up an error.
To register, we have our registration form call createUser($email, $password) which returns true upon success. If we are registering an admin, we call the third parameter $is_admin = 1.
And we have success, a simple and secure authentication class written in PHP. As for the database side of things, I strongly suggest looking into PDO and MYSQLI (Major difference being PDO supports every database type, allowing for portability) and to use prepared statements, protecting against SQL injection. Feel free to contact me for help, more information or with any suggestions you may have, as I said this system is designed to be simple.

Because of Dr. Kay I have a new chance at life after almost 4 years of utter misery and a lifetime of unexplained issues. I had a tricky condition, and he was patient and tireless in trying to help me. After having many doctors shrug and not understand or misdiagnose me, Dr. Kay not only believed me- he took action to actually solve my problems. He is a superb Doctor and I have to thank him for my future. Go here- everyone in the office is kind and remembers you and if by chance surgery is needed, you cannot ask for someone more skilled or more dedicated to your recovery than Dr. Kay.

First off the staff were extremely friendly and respectful. The nurse was very understanding and very informative as well. Dr. Kay, himdels, was very approachable and did not mind in the least when I rattled off many symptoms which were not even related to ENT. He was very patient and easy to talk to. I would recommend the facility to anyone. Kudos Team Kay!!!

The Via Epia SN is one of the smallest and definitely one of the fastest motherboards around and it's guaranteed to give every gamer a triple orgasm. The first model of this type to have a 1.8GHz CPU and a 16x PCIe slot, the Epia SN also has four SATA ports, a CF card connector, dual-LAN network ports, an Ultra DMA port and WiFi.
The prize here is the Via C7 CPU — which, when combined with a high-end video card, will make you drool in gamer-delight. The Epia SN should be available in November for businesses and hopefully to consumers shortly thereafter — no word on the price yet, but I'm thinking it'll hurt. [Via via Wired]

Well we don't want to worry you but even Moses himself had to wait until retirement to achieve prominence. JR just kept working and even Luke Skywalker gets older! Retirement can mean many things in the modern world and it should be very positive, but for everyday folk just how do you plan ahead to ensure you have enough cash in later years?
The Biggest Fear?
You've already worked it out we guess? Outliving retirement savings after you've stopped working. It's the worst possible outcome, and it doesn't do any harm to scare yourself once a day the experts reckon. But seriously, you really can avoid this so read on.
So What Do I Need to Do First?
The best thing to do is sit down with your favourite tipple and try and plan ahead realistically as that endearing term, 'budget' comes to mind. But delete those mental images of flash cars, boats and Moses parting the sea! Of course we hope you win the lottery, but looking at your monthly outgoings alongside the long term income you receive will be a much better bet at this stage. You may have a company pension or social security lined up, so make sure your targets are real.
What About Tax When I'm Older?
We'd knew you'd ask that question, and of course it's extremely sensible to take a closer look at this as you walk the line. But even Johnny Cash would have worked out his taxable income.
Let's say you have both taxable and IRA accounts? It would be best to take out a regular source of income from these accounts. Taking out no more than $1,000 each month won't really mean you pay substantial tax.
This also means your accounts will have room to grow further – you may even later be able to take out a lump sum to pay off the mortgage. It keeps you at a manageable level tax wise which is very important.
So We Must Look at Debt as Well Then?
The dream would be to take care of all debt before you retire of course. Even taking out a car payment of the mortgage can make a huge difference in later years. If you aren't luck enough to quite get there, then financing can actually help this in retirement. But do what you can to limit the debt you have and this makes things much easier for you in the long run.
Is it Safe to Mention Long-term Care Insurance?
It's safe and sensible to take a look at this, because if you have no insurance cover any savings could quickly be wiped out. The truth is premiums are high and these costs are going up annually. Hopefully you won't even have to think about this in retirement but check out our feature on the subject and do more research. It won't do any harm.
Ok What Do We Do Regarding Assets and Investments?
If you have all your savings in investments with a guaranteed return like treasury securities for example then it's possible your income could run out at some point. Purchasing an annuity with the rider of a guaranteed income paying you a sum each and every month until death would be a very good move. It may not win you the super bowl, but it can pay dividends long term.
You may even consider Longevity insurance if you think the family will all live long. There could the possibility of you selecting a mix of equities like mutual funds or blue chip stocks. Corporate bonds are a good option along with ETFs and preferred stocks. If you can prevent dipping into your investments a little further into retirement then this will certainly give you a solid foundation. Employ the services of a good financial adviser if you must!
There are many other things you can do to boost your income in retirement and you should look at as many options as possible. Retirement is a fresh beginning for everyone – so plan well and reap the benefits!

Official Press Release
Radical Entertainment, the creators behind one of 2012's most anticipated open-world/action games - PROTOTYPE 2 - and Dark Horse Comics, the leading publisher of gaming comics and graphic novels, have joined forces to create an all-new comic series set in the PROTOTYPE universe. With the game due out April 24, 2012 from Activision Publishing, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Activision Blizzard, Inc., fans looking for a jumpstart at getting a deeper look into the world of PROTOTYPE 2 should keep an eye out for this exciting collaboration launching February 15, 2012.
The all-new digital comic series will be broken into three original stories that bridge the gap between the original blockbuster game and the highly anticipated sequel, PROTOTYPE 2. The first entry, "The Anchor," illustrated by Paco Diaz, continues the story of Alex Mercer, the protagonist from the first game, while the second story, "The Survivors," illustrated by Chris Staggs, follows a small group of residents of New York trying to escape the city after it has been transformed into NYZ with the outbreak of the Blacklight virus. The third and final story, illustrated by Victor Drujiniu, is "The Labyrinth" and provides fans a deeper look into the backstory of PROTOTYPE 2's new protagonist, Sgt. James Heller. Each comic in the series will be available at Digital.Darkhorse.com every other week beginning February 15, 2012.
"We're always looking for meaningful ways to expand the PROTOTYPE universe, and Dark Horse Comics is an industry-leading creative powerhouse delivering best-in-class graphic storytelling that integrates deeply to the core of our IP," said Ken Rosman, Studio Head, Radical Entertainment. "With this partnership, our fans will finally be given answers to some dramatic loose ends from the first PROTOTYPE game, as well as the truth behind Alex Mercer's descent and evolution into a twisted shadow of his former self for PROTOTYPE 2."
"Sgt. James Heller's heart wrenching backstory meshed with the sheer amount of over-the-top shape-shifting action in PROTOTYPE 2 lend themselves perfectly to a comic book series," said Dave Marshall, Editor, Dark Horse Comics. "We worked extremely close with Radical Entertainment's story team for PROTOTYPE 2, and can't wait to visually walk fans through the many dark secrets strewn throughout the tattered world of New York Zero!"
The sequel to Radical Entertainment's best-selling open-world action game of 2009, PROTOTYPE 2 takes the unsurpassed carnage of the original PROTOTYPE and continues the experience of becoming the ultimate shape-shifting weapon. As the game's all-new infected protagonist, Sgt. James Heller, players will cut a bloody swathe through the wastelands of post-viral New York Zero with unparalleled locomotion, building up a vast genetic arsenal of deadly, biological weapons and abilities as they hunt, kill and consume their way toward the ultimate goal - to kill... Alex... Mercer!
To find out more about PROTOTYPE 2, follow us on twitter at www.twitter.com/radical_ent or check out www.prototypegame.com for the latest trailers, screenshots, special promotions and more! And for the truly dedicated, go to www.facebook.com/prototype and join the PROTOTYPE Army - a community of over 360,000 (and growing) fans that receive constant updates from the team at Radical, and early sneak peeks at new information and assets.

FDA approves Medtronic heart valve system early
Send a link to a friend
[January 18, 2014]
By Bill Berkrot
(Reuters) — Medtronic Inc.'s minimally invasive system for replacing
diseased heart valves won U.S. approval for use in patients deemed
too frail to endure traditional open heart surgery, the U.S. medical
device maker said on Friday.
The Food and Drug Administration approved
Medtronic's CoreValve system based on U.S. clinical trials in which
it was shown to be safe and effective while demonstrating low rates
of stroke and valve leakage, the company said.
Medtronic and Wall Street analysts had not expected the approval
decision until April, giving the company a head start on efforts to
seize market share from a similar rival product sold by Edwards
Lifesciences Corp. News of the early CoreValve approval sent Edwards
shares down nearly 5 percent.
More than 100,000 people in the U.S. have severe aortic stenosis
with about one-third too ill or frail for open-heart valve
replacement surgery, making them candidates for CoreValve or the
rival Edwards Sapien system.
The systems, in which the replacement valve is threaded into place
through an artery using a catheter — known as transcatheter aortic
valve replacement, or TAVR — spares patient's chest-cracking
surgery, cutting down on recovery time.
CoreValve has been available since 2007 in Europe, where it is not
uncommon for medical devices to win approval several years ahead of
the United States.
"We estimate the U.S. TAVR market will be approximately $450 million
in 2014," said Glenn Novarro, an analyst with RBC Capital Markets.
"With approval earlier than expected, share loss for Edwards will
likely occur sooner than expected," added Novarro, who sees
Medtronic grabbing 20 percent of the U.S. TAVR market this year,
rising to more than 30 percent by 2016.
But CoreValve's U.S. sales prospects may hinge on further legal
proceedings after a U.S. jury earlier this week found that the
Medtronic system infringes a patent held by Edwards and awarded
Edwards more than $390 million in damages.
vowed to appeal the decision and oppose any request for an
injunction. Edwards, meanwhile, said the patent infringement ruling
entitled it to seek increased damages of up to three times the value
of the award.

The FDA approved CoreValve without first requiring an expert
advisory panel to review the device and make recommendations to the
"The low rates of stroke and valve leakage with the CoreValve System — two of the most concerning complications of valve replacement
because they increase the risk of death and have a dramatic impact
on quality of life — set a new standard for transcatheter valves,"
Dr. Jeffrey Popma, director of Interventional Cardiology at the Beth
Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston and one of the lead
investigators of the pivotal clinical trial, said in a statement.
The CoreValve uses a smaller catheter than the currently approved
Sapien, giving it a potential but temporary competitive edge.
Edwards is awaiting U.S. approval of a next generation Sapien with a
similarly smaller catheter.
Both companies are also testing their systems in less high risk
patients in hopes of broadening the potential patient population and
market for the devices.
Medtronic shares were up 18 cents at $59.29 in afternoon trading,
while Edwards shares were off $3.49, or 4.8 percent, at $69.18, both
on the New York Stock Exchange.

Visualising the Benefits of Motivation
Visualisation is about making use of all your senses: what you're seeing, hearing, feeling, tasting, and smelling. Visualising a situation heightens your motivation and allows your mind and body to experience your success before it actually happens. Here's how you visualise:
See your success. Imagine you're painting an image of what you want to achieve. Ensure you clearly see yourself in the picture, then add colour to brighten the picture and bring in action, as if you're the lead actor in a movie.
Feel the benefits. Imagine your feelings as you achieve your goal. You can feel sensations in your body, positive inner thoughts, and strong emotions. Be aware where the feelings are in your body. Injecting positive feelings helps strengthen the visualisation further.
Hear the praise. Enhance and intensify your image further by hearing words of praise or even the sound of people clapping and cheering you. You feel yourself glowing with success from hearing what people are saying about you.

12. Responsibility for Teams
At each game, each team must have a qualified responsible person present who can be a coach, or someone designated to substitute for them, and whose responsibilities shall include maintaining control and discipline over the team and its spectators. The responsible person must present his/her passcard to the referee before the game commences.
If at any time during the game the team does not have a person with a valid coach's passcard able to be responsible for the team, the game shall be abandoned and the team shall forfeit the game. In all cases the person responsible for the team must be older than the qualifying age for the team.
It shall be the sponsoring soccer organization's responsibility to ensure that it selects coaches who are not only qualified to coach, but who are also able to promote the highest levels of good sportsmanship and are able to maintain proper control and discipline of the team and its spectators.

I have installed ubuntu 11.10 on my x120e using amd64 alternate iso image. The installation went fine, but it is having issues while booting after a successful installation, it says - "No Operating System Found". I followed the instruction at - help.ubuntu.com/community/X120e#Installation to purge grub-efi and installed grub-pc, even then I couldn't boot into ubuntu.(got the same "No Operating System Found") This is the file from boot-repair with this setup - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/926556/
Then I asked in #ubuntu and they suggested me to create a bios-boot partition, I was not very comfortable with the solution they had suggested but gave it a try anyhow. I re-sized my initial partition and made 4 MB free space in the beginning of the partition and had set the flag bios_grub. Re-installed ubuntu 11.10 this time using amd64 desktop iso image file. Installation went fine as before but finally this time also the system didn't boot, it gave the same - "No Operating System Found" message.
In BIOS I have the settings as to use both (Legacy and UEFI) and with UEFI tried first. This is the boot-repair file from my latest setup - http://pastebin.ubuntu.com/926761
Any help/suggestions are appreciated.

Last week, I competed in one of my favorite events - the PGA Professional National Championship. This past weekend, Inbee Park not only won the Women's U.S. Open but managed to make it her third straight major championship this year. I had a great chance to meet my goal - to finish in the top 20 and become the only grandfather in the field at this year's PGA Championship. I came up a bit short. Inbee had a chance to do something no woman has done in more than half a century - win the season's first three majors. She accomplished her goal convincingly.
This week's "A Lesson Learned" has to do with the pressure that comes with playing in your biggest event of the season or year. We all have them. Whether it's a high school tournament, a club championship or a U.S. Open qualifier, all golfers tend to point towards one or two events as the ones that will make or break their year in golf.
In order to peak at the right time, you have to do three things.
1.) Be mentally tough and able to control your emotions
2.) Be comfortable and confident in your own skin
3.) Have a great awareness of your abilities and potential
All golfers who compete at high levels understand the importance of these three items. But understanding and doing can be different things.
At Sunriver, in the final round, I was doing pretty well - I was five-under through the first six holes of the final round. I was in the top 10 at the time and right in position I had worked so hard to be in. Then I had a wait on the 8th tee and made a mistake with my tee shot which led to a double bogey. I made a couple more doubles and ended up one shot out of the playoff for the PGA Championship spots. I'm proud of my week but certainly, that finish was a bit disappointing.
Inbee Park was in the position she needed to be in. She played smart, didn't press or take unnecessary risks and relied on her strengths - including an outstanding putting stroke - to win at Sebonack. In the three most important championships so far this year, Park has risen to the occasion. That's 12 rounds where she has not let the pressure affect her enough to hurt her chance to win. That's crazy incredible.
For some quick perspective, Tiger Woods won three majors in a row in 2001 and golf fans may talk about that year forever. Park just did that and has a chance to win two more this year. That deserves a wow.
So back to dealing with pressure, how do you play your best when it counts the most?
I tell all my students that pressure is normal, pressure is part of the excitement, but there are always more important things in life than golf. Don't make the game bigger than life. Keep your focus but also keep your perspective. You'll then learn to enjoy the pressure that comes from golf - not suffer from it. Pressure can make you freeze up and lose, or it can help you overcome and conquer.
I've been in situations to win championships and I've come out on top - like earlier this year, I made the cut and tied for the low PGA Club Professional at the Senior PGA Championship. I've also come up short in championships. But I always know I'm going to work hard and put myself in position to compete again. Winning and losing is not the end of the world. And when you understand that - you're going to end up winning more than you know.
And Inbee Park understands that. She knows she won't win every time she tees it up. And what fun would that be - to not have the challenge and pressure to overcome. (If Park wins the next two majors, I rescind that last sentence.)
Golf is the greatest game in the world - you should enjoy every aspect of it, including the pressure. When you know that the next event is going to mean more than most, do all you can to prepare properly. Then remember that there are other things that matter in your life too.
Here's hoping you, your golf game and your week will be great. Have a happy 4th of July.

Land Rover's new Range Rover Evoque luxury SUV, which flaunts a much sleeker and shapely form than its boxy siblings, has received a lot of attention with its bold design. The Evoque was even named winner of the 19th annual North American Truck of the Year award.
Land Rover Design Director Gerry McGovern is pushing the envelope further with a convertible version, which was introduced in concept form at the Geneva Motor Show.
"We believe that the Evoque lends itself beautifully to the idea of a convertible," McGovern said. "From a pure design perspective, we have used Evoque's dramatic shape to create a distinctive and highly desirable proposition."
Land Rover reports there are no immediate plans to put the Evoque Convertible into production, but the automaker is gauging public and press reaction to the concept, and "listening carefully to feedback."
What are your thoughts on the Evoque Convertible Concept?

Why Your Medical Supplies Biz Needs a Quick Website
On the internet, there are two truths that should not be forgotten:
1.) Video cat has Youtube.
2.) Speed is king.
Although both statements are absolutely true, only one applies to your medical supply business.
Search engines, in particular, Google, have changed search ranking rules for the past year. Before, if you had solid content and lots of links to your page, you're good.
In the past, you simply posted a blog about polymemic pads and anyone who searched for them would find your page if you were an active site. Now, if your page does not load fast enough, it falls in the rankings.
This is especially true after mobilpocalypse, where Google decides that if your site is not mobile friendly, it will be downgraded.
What does this mean?
You should be quick.
There's a good reason why Google does this step. According to their research, if a shopping or travel site takes more than three seconds to load, consumers will find other sites.
If you run a medical supply business, it can be disastrous considering the amount of competition that is out there. Simply put, the question of "why your medical supplies need a fast website" can be answered with two statements:
Customers leave you if you have a slow loading time.
We live in an age of instant gratification. What normally takes 45 minutes to make the oven takes 4 minutes in the microwave. It used to take 10 minutes to get to the internet using AOL. Now it's just a matter of opening the laptop.
You have three seconds until your customer thinks something is wrong with your page or something's wrong with you. Either way, the end result is that you lose money.
Customers will never find you because Google will bury your page if it's slow.
In the online world, competition is everywhere. If you are looking for a product that sells your pages, there are almost certainly thousands of other pages that do the same.
The difference often goes down to where you are in the rankings. The results on the first page of Google search results get 91.5% of traffic. These customers have already purchased their goods without being aware of your existence.
Now You're Left A Little, Come Talk About It Happy
No, not the cat video mentioned.
The good news is it's easy to check your site's performance. Run a speed test designed by Google, and get the results.
From there you can see your web page and find out what slows it down, then fix it. Get rid of unimportant images. Get rid of some HTML in the main page.
Minimize your JavaScript and JQuery code. There are some simple things you can do to fix the problem.
It may feel like pain or a lot of hard work. If you think of yourself thinking so, imagine your customers giving your competitors money.
The image itself should tell you why your medical provider needs a fast and efficient website.
Do not wait to get started!
Businesses that do not move forward fail. Often websites will be incorporated into the backburner because the mentality is "invisible, out of mind".
Even if you have a brick and mortar store, your website can be the cornerstone of your success. It's an advantage with much less overhead! If your site is your only store, there's no reason not to fix this problem today.
Do not let anything be fixed like a slow loading time to frustrate your customers' satisfaction.
