To help you get the most out of your Mac, we looked at everything. From how OS X works with the hardware to how it works with your apps. The closer we looked, the more ways we found to increase battery efficiency. And boost performance, too. Take a look at just a few of the advanced technologies that help your Mac work smarter, not harder.
In OS X Mavericks, Timer Coalescing groups low-level operations together, creating tiny periods of idle time that allow your CPU to enter a low-power state more often. With its activity reduced up to 72 percent, the CPU uses less energy, giving your battery a break, too. This happens so fast you won't notice a thing. And your Mac still gets just as much done just as quickly.1
App Nap helps you save power when you're working with multiple apps at the same time. OS X can tell when an app is completely hidden behind other windows. And if that app isn't currently doing something for you — playing music, downloading a file, or checking email, for example — App Nap conserves valuable battery life by slowing the app down. But as soon as you start to use it again, the app instantly shifts back to full speed. It's so seamless you'll think it had been running that way all along. App Nap works the same way with Safari tabs, so only the visible tab is running at full speed. With App Nap, CPU energy use can be reduced by up to 23 percent.1
Many websites display animations using power-hungry plug-ins that can drain precious battery life. But OS X Mavericks is watching out for you. The new Safari Power Saver feature recognizes the difference between what you came to see and the stuff you probably didn't. If the content is front and center it plays as usual. But if it's off in the margins, Safari Power Saver pauses it. You'll see a static preview, and it won't run until you click to play it. So if you don't want to watch something, it won't take a toll on your battery life. With Safari Power Saver, when you're browsing websites with plug-in content, your CPU will use up to 35 percent less power.2
OS X Mavericks improves the energy efficiency of iTunes HD video playback. So go ahead and watch iTunes HD TV shows and movies full screen even when you're unplugged. The video playback engine takes greater advantage of the efficient graphics hardware in your Mac and reduces the frequency of disk access. Even audio playback is more energy efficient. Altogether, your CPU will use up to 35 percent less energy while you're watching video.3
The more memory your Mac has at its disposal, the faster it works. But when you have multiple apps running, your Mac uses more memory. With OS X Mavericks, Compressed Memory allows your Mac to free up memory space when you need it most. As your Mac approaches maximum memory capacity, OS X automatically compresses data from inactive apps, making more memory available.
Once the memory is compressed, your Mac doesn't have to waste time continually transferring data back and forth between memory and storage. So it's able to get more done in less time. And since compressing and decompressing happens almost instantly, the only thing you'll notice is how responsive everything feels. Especially when you're doing everything at once.

What is transcriptome sequencing?
Transcriptome sequencing, or RNA sequencing (RNA-Seq), provides fundamental insights into how genomes are organized and regulated—giving us valuable information about the internal state of cells and how altered expression of genetic variants contributes to complex disease research. Transcriptome sequencing relies on next-generation sequencing (NGS) methodology and techniques.
We offer two great options for transcriptome analysis:
- Whole transcriptome sequencing, or RNA-Seq, for both discovery and gene expression analysis. Use the Ion GeneStudio S5 Systems combined with Invitrogen RNA purification and Ion Torrent library construction kits for identification and quantitation of both known and novel transcripts, including gene fusions and splice variants.
- Ion AmpliSeq Transcriptome solution for gene-level expression analysis. Ideal for traditional gene expression analysis, the Ion AmpliSeq Transcriptome Human Gene Expression Kit targets >20,000 RefSeq transcripts using as little as 10 ng RNA input with a fast and FFPE-compatible workflow.

Lesley Cheng, PhD, La Trobe University.
Advantages of RNA-Seq over microarray techniques
- Increased specificity and sensitivity—detect more RNA species, including fusion transcripts and closely related isoforms
- Wider dynamic range—with sufficient read depth, the full breadth of biologically relevant expression changes can be detected using NGS approaches without the signal compression typical of microarray platforms
- Digital output—NGS read count provides a representation of absolute expression, enabling you to identify and characterize low-abundance transcripts
- Detect both known and unknown transcripts and variants—the unbiased nature of NGS sequencing coverage enables true transcriptome-wide biomarker discovery that does not rely on prior knowledge of the genome

Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Paul Sadler has an ad that touts his work as a state lawmaker while slamming GOP opponent Ted Cruz as extreme.
Sadler and his campaign say they'll air it as much as possible, given his limited funds. In his last campaign finance report, he showed he had raised nearly $359,000 – compared to $3.5 million for Cruz between July and September – and had $134,000 cash on hand as of Sept. 30. It'll be mostly a cable buy.
In the ad, Sadler notes his endorsements by newspapers, saying they came in part because of his work for Texans "and partly because Ted Cruz is the most extreme Senate candidate in Texas history."
Cruz earlier released an ad entitled "American Dream," which talks about his father escaping torture in Cuba and highlights his opposition to big government, higher taxes and "crushing debt." Cruz says in his ad, "My family has lived the America dream and as your senator, I will fight every day to protect it."

On a whim, I decided to drive up to explore a spectacular stretch of California natural beauty for a four-day vacation: Sequoia National Park and Yosemite.
I hadn't been to Yosemite for years, and I had never seen the Sequoias. Turns out that many of my friends had never visited the Sequoias either, though nearly all of them had been to Yosemite at least once. I would soon discover what we've been missing.
The drive up the 5 through L.A. and the subsequent rolling, golden hills is easy, but somewhat monotonous. Get plenty of rest the night before and don't plan to do much the same day as your drive. Once you arrive at Sequoia National Park, it's like entering a different world.
Sequoia National Park
My friends in Visalia cleared me up on the main distinction between the sequoias and redwoods. "The redwoods are taller, but the sequoias are fatter, so they are the largest trees on earth."
Some of the sequoias date back over 3,000 years and tower as high as 300 feet. They are fourth in height among plant species and first in total volume. Redwoods are the tallest trees in the world at 364 feet.
One feels humble in the shadows of the mighty sequoias. The trees inspire feelings of reverence and appreciation. Hikes tend to linger; this is not a place to be rushed.
The two largest (not tallest) trees in the world are here – General Sherman and General Grant, although the latter is actually in adjoining Kings Canyon Park. The General Grant tree, the tallest in Grant's Grove, is near a fallen sequoia named the Fallen Monarch, estimated to have tumbled around 300 years ago. I walked through its hollow interior.
Giant Forest in Sequoia National Park is where you go to see General Sherman, the largest tree in the world. The tree is a 15-minute walk away from the parking lot down a scenic trail. From General Sherman, you can hike the Congress Trail, probably the most popular trail in the park.
The climb up Moro Rock's 400 stairs reveals a spectacular view. If you lack the stamina to reach the top, you can still enjoy superb views along the way. Bring a camera to catch the sweeping vistas.
There are more than trees and hills to enchant visitors at Sequoia National Park. At Hospital Rock, there are petroglyphs left by the Western Mono Indians that date back to the 14th century.
Yosemite National Park
The following day after exploring Sequoia, I headed to Yosemite. Yosemite is, well, Yosemite – the most beautiful spot in America.
Despite National Geographic Traveler's annointing of Dingle, Ireland, as the most beautiful place in the world, I'll take the beauty of Yosemite over Dingle any day (though the latter is gorgeous and holds a place in my affection).
Arriving there was like revisiting – and rejoicing in – an old friend. Tunnel View remains in my mind the most stunning vista in America. The drive down into the Valley was as gorgeous as ever and brought back memories of my first visit there. I headed to the Mist Trail en route to Vernal Falls. This is one of the better short hikes in Yosemite, but it does require a certain amount of stamina; much of it is uphill.
Even on a busy weekend or summer day, you can find solitude on Yosemite's many back trails. Early morning and dusk are particularly enchanting times, and it is unfortunate that so many day-trip visitors miss this.
It's worthwhile to drive up to Glacier Point for a spectacular overview of the valley, particularly in late spring when the waterfalls are flowing. It's also possible to hike down to the valley from there, but check the tram times so you can be sure to get back up to your car.
If you happen to be hosting an international exchange student (or other out-of-state visitor for any longer period of time) this summer, this is, in my opinion, the best place in California to take him or her. It's an unforgettable experience.
There is talk of restoring Hetch Hetchy Valley. It was the flooding of this valley to supply water for San Francisco after the 1906 earthquake that broke John Muir's heart. "No holier temple has ever been consecrated by the heart of man," he mourned. Others have claimed that the beauty of Hetch Hetchy was equal to that of Yosemite Valley.
The most scenic entrances to the parks are Highway 198 from Visalia for Sequoia and Highway 41 from Fresno for Yosemite. It takes 5-6 hours to reach Sequoia National Park from San Diego and about 7 hours to reach Yosemite.
The best way to experience the parks is to camp. Check ahead for campground availability. It's wise to reserve far in advance, particularly if you're going during the summer or on a holiday weekend.
But if reservations are booked, don't let it stop you. Look for rooms in nearby towns, surf a couch, or get on up there however you can manage. You won't regret it.

I have never seen the Sequoias but I have to go now! Yosemite is definitely a top 10 place to visit in the world! Great article!
My intro to Sequoia NP and Kings Canyon came a very long time ago, when I was about 9 years old. Back then, the tourist accommodations included cabins with outdoor kitchens. The park concessionaire was the Fred Harvey organization, and they did a great job. I doubt that the food service or lodging is the sort of value it was then.
No, you won't regret going to those parks plus Yosemite. But trying to hit all of that in four days just doesn't do justice to the area. You really need a week. But it will be a wonderful week that you will remember to the end of your days.
Thanks, mveseskis. Visduh, I absolutely agree with you. On my last visit to Yosemite, I stayed for a week and every day was special. If I had had a week this time I would have taken advantage of it. Unfortunately, I know many people that just cannot get more than four days off at a time. Americans get less vacation time than just about any other developed country. A four day weekend is something that, for many, is a rare opportunity. So, if that's all you have, you can still have a memorable visit. It will whet your appetite for more when you get that week or two weeks off.
A great way to see the Sequoia's is to go to Visalia, the gateway to the Sequoia's, and take the Sequoia Shuttle in to the National Park. For just $15 roundtrip, which includes the park entrance fee, it's a great way to enjoy the scenery and your party on the way up, and enjoy the activities (especially the food!) in this City of 127,000. There is a great connecting Shuttle inside the Park that is free that will take you to the key spots like Moro Rock, The General Sherman Tree, Crescent Meadow, etc. Great way to get more hikes in.....hike one way and then take the Shuttle to another trailhead. Plus, it creates less congestion in the National Park. If you've ever enjoyed the serenity the Shuttles in Zion provide, you'll totally understand the shuttles in the Sequoias.

Ishikawa is famous for its lacquer ware. For centuries, skilled craftsmen have produced Yamanaka lacquer ware. Bowls and dishes are most traditional. Gundam models are not.
The same traditional methods were used to coat these Gundam. It took around one month to complete the figures. They were created for the Gundam Builders World Cup and were selected as top 100 finalists.
The figures are currently on display here in Kaga City in Ishikawa.
For more Gundam models selected for the Gunpla, or "Gundam Model", world cup, check out this gallery.

My Missus and some of her female political friends want to build a shack on a stream in the back woods and want, instead of a beautiful marble bath, to have the stream dug out so as to form an old-fashioned swimming hole.
This is how Franklin D. Roosevelt described his wife Eleanor's ambition to build a retreat for herself and her friends away from the big family house at Hyde Park, New York. The "shack," built in 1925 near a gently flowing stream, was actually a stone cottage situated on land FDR offered the women for their lifetime use.
The following year, the women had a second building constructed on the site to house a small furniture factory. After the factory closed in 1936, Roosevelt converted the building into a cottage for herself, her secretary, and guests, and christened it "Val-Kill Cottage." She used the cottage only sparingly until the death of FDR in 1945. Then, she moved permanently to Val-Kill. She had once described Val-Kill as the place "where I used to find myself and grow" and where "I emerged as an individual." It was truly her home and the place where she came into her own. She gained strength and inspiration from the pastoral surroundings.

We're looking for a logo that's bold (in contrast), simple and easy to read. The vibe should be approachable and trendy, and in no way corporate.
General guidelines:
1) It would be awesome if there was an icon integrated in the logo that symbolized the Re-using of eyeglass frames.
2) The logo ratio should be horizontal, not square.
3) Differentiation between the 3 words in our logo is important, but preferably not with spaces. The specific capitalization is preferred (RelensMyFrames), but we're open to other ideas.
4) I think a few colors would be sufficient (2 or 3?). Solids sound good, but mild gradients may also be used if/when necessary.
The vector version of the Technorati logo fits several of our criteria:
The files we'll need are:
Print file format - .ai (CMYK)
Web file format - .png or .jpg
This is our site (very much in progress), but I would rather alter the site's color palate (background, header, etc) around a great logo than try to restrict the logo design around what's here:

LimeLight Surges 18%: Q4 Loss Better Than Feared, Sets $15M Buyback
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Internet bandwidth provider Limelight Networks (LLNW) are up 39 cents, or almost 19%, at 2.50, in late trading, after the company this afternoon reported Q4 revenue that missed analysts' expectations slightly, but delivered a smaller-than-expected net loss per share, and said it may buy back up to 8% of its stock.
Revenue in the three months ended in December fell 9%, year over year, to $42.2 million, yielding a net loss of 5 cents per share.
Analysts had been modeling $42.9 milion and a 6-cent loss per share.
In a separate announcement, the company said its board of directors authorized a share repurchase of $15 million, which would amount to just about 8% of the company's $200 million market cap, which it said demonstrated the board's confidence in the company's future prospects.
LimeLight's report follows better-than-expected Q4 results last week from competitor Akamai (AKAM).

Summer 2014 Has Started!
* A sponsored post.
All thoughts and opinions are of my own.
Today has marked the hottest temperature we've experienced for 2014. So hot you want to dive in a pool as you see one. As per the early night news, the temperature was 35° but it felt like 38°, honestly. We attended my youngest Bro-in-law's high school graduation this afternoon and it really felt like summer! So I can say, Summer of 2014 has indeed started. Imagine hearing people's complain about the heat - which makes it even hotter. I am glad I no longer have to ride the MRT to and from work. One word to describe riding the MRT? Sardines!
And because of today's temperature, I started imagining Green grass under my feet. I'd like to feel nature, escape from the city's busy hot days. I am sure you would agree that even if the temperature is hot, the rural breeze somehow lessens it and makes a busy day an ease (somehow). I even remember a pin of a backyard I found from Pinterest - something I have been dreaming to have (Mama's dream too!). I heard her wish a backyard of plants in different sorts way back then. I know my kids would love to have their own little playground too (in the backyard of my dreams) and take care of their seeds by watering them and all.
Having said all these, if you are also dreaming, planning and have already started your own garden or Green house maybe, check out Access Hydroponic for gardening supplies.

"Break-off - A fish lost when the line breaks, as opposed to losing fish when the hook breaks, straightens or pulls out."
Took me longer to get to this than I expected, but I still only worked on it for 7 days; I just decided to spread them out a bit. It's not as polished as I would have liked, but as I neared the end I was just glad to be done with it. This was my first time really working with Java, and I discovered fairly early on that I'm not a fan of Java. Regardless, I'm pleased with what I ended up with. Definitely more fun than the last game I put together.
You control the shark, you primary goal is to cause "break-offs" in fisherman's lines by cutting lines that have fish on them. In the meantime, you have to keep yourself fed and avoid getting hit by hooks yourself. You get 2 minutes or until you go 5 seconds without feeding.
move with wasd or arrows, space bar pauses
Scoring Details:
Eating a fish: 1pt, fully restores health (which lasts 5s)
Causing a break-off: +1 to combo; 3pt * combo; +10% health
Getting hit by a hook: -5pts, -1 combo, briefly stunned
Letting a fish get reeled in off the top of the screen resets your counter
The game's occasionally a bit buggy. Sometimes all collisions will suddenly stop working. If that happens, just restart it. I never could nail down that bug, sorry.
There's a not-very-well-hidden Easter egg concerning the "true victory" in the game. Enjoy that, I guess.
If you have any comments, suggestions, or bug reports (or anything else, really), just mention it here or hit me up on Twitter (@SnoringFrog). I'll check both, but I'll be quicker to reply on Twitter; I kinda live there.
Download (.jar file + assets in a .zip; should be cross-platform)
Oh yeah, there's also a fun "bug" that I won't fix in this build just because it's entertaining. To see it, just leave the game paused for a bit (10-20 seconds is plenty of time). Hook and fish generation will continue in the background, and as soon as you unpause they'll all swarm into the screen.
Here's an old image from before I added in the score/health and all that:

The Accounting Historians Journal
Vol. 13, No. 2
Fall 1986
Brenda S. Birkett SOUTHERN UNIVERSITY
Abstract: This article explores factors in the financial, legal and social environ-ments that have significantly influenced the development of corporate audit committees. Particular emphasis is given to the actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
The New York Stock Exchange (NYSE) decision requiring that all listed corporations have audit committees as of June 30, 1978, made audit committees an integral part of the corporate organi-zation.
The concept of an audit committee is not new. Audit committees first attracted attention in the late 1930's when the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and New York Stock Exchange en-couraged their establishment after the McKesson and Robbins case. In recent years there has been a significant increase in the number of corporations that have formed audit committees [AICPA, 1978]. A 1970 survey by R. K. Mautz and F. L. Neuman showed that 32 percent of the corporations responding had audit committees, while a repeat of the survey in 1976 showed that 87 percent had audit committees [Mautz and Neuman, 1977]. Congress, the SEC, the accounting profession and others have expressed an interest in and support for audit committees.
Actions of the Securities and Exchange Commission
In 1940, the SEC first recommended the establishment of audit committees in Accounting Series Release No. 19. This was issued in response to the McKesson and Robbins, Inc. investigation. The release proposed that, to assure auditor independence, a com-mittee be selected from non-officer board members to nominate auditors and arrange details of the engagement.
In Accounting Series Release No. 123, issued March 23, 1972, the SEC stated its long interest in corporate audit committees, and concluded with the following statement:

Getty Museum Exhibition Explores the Role of Gifts in the European Middle Ages
The Art of Giving in the Middle Ages
November 21, 2000 through February 4, 2001
August 2, 2000
Los Angeles--Through 20 illuminated manuscripts from the J. Paul Getty Museum's renowned collection, The Art of Giving in the Middle Ages explores the diverse meanings of gift giving in medieval and early modern society, many of which still hold sway today. On view at the Getty November 21, 2000 through February 4, 2001, the exhibition focuses on three themes: the models for giving found in scripture and the lives of the saints, the culture of giving in medieval society, and the gift of the book in the Middle Ages and beyond. The manuscripts on view include saints' lives, religious service books, histories, and devotional books originating in Western Europe and the Byzantine Empire and dating from the 11th to the 16th century. Among the artists represented are Simon Bening, Gerard Horenbout, Simon Marmion, and Taddeo Crivelli.
"Gifts were an important part of the ceremony and diplomacy of medieval Europe," says Thomas Kren, the Museum's curator of manuscripts. "They were used to secure the allegiance of a ruler's subjects and to solidify ties among princes and high-ranking clergy. Medieval Christians gave money, land, or luxury goods to religious institutions in return for prayers on behalf of the donor's soul, and charity was considered a Christian virtue. Illuminated manuscripts were themselves among the most costly of gifts."
One group of works in the exhibition explores the models for giving found in scripture and the lives of the saints. The most important scriptural model was the presentation of gifts to the infant Jesus by three wise men. A miniature from a German psalter shows the wise men offering their gifts to the child before a shimmering gold background. Another miniature shows a model for charity taken from the life of the English saint Edward the Confessor: a ring he had given to a beggar is miraculously returned to him years later--a reward for his selflessness.
A second group of manuscripts reveals the culture of giving in this period. In the Middle Ages, charity took new forms as individuals, like Saint Hedwig of Silesia, displayed compassion for society's underprivileged by personally feeding the sick, giving alms, and helping the imprisoned. Not all gifts were charitable, though, as giving also played an important role in political affairs. Gifts were a critical feature of diplomatic protocol, demonstrating the donor's good will. Scholars also made gifts of their literary works to powerful princes in the hopes of future patronage. Vasco da Lucena, for example, dedicated his French translation of an ancient Roman biography of Alexander the Great to Charles the Bold, duke of Burgundy--an act that simultaneously honored the ruler and elevated the status of the donor. In the Getty's deluxe illuminated copy of the text, Vasco is shown kneeling before the duke and presenting his work.
The final section of the installation focuses on the gift of the book in the Middle Ages and beyond. Illuminated manuscripts circulated among religious institutions both as diplomatic gifts and for the mutual benefit of monks and clerics. Books that served as gift objects are among the most sumptuously illuminated of the Middle Ages, and a number of service books and manuscripts of scripture that were created to be gifts to monasteries and high-ranking clerics are included in the exhibition. Outside the cloister, books were given on a variety of occasions. The illuminated prayer book known as the Gualenghi-d'Este Hours, for example, was made on the occasion of the marriage of Andrea Gualengo to Orsina d'Este, a member of the ruling family of the north Italian city of Ferrara. Even today, a medieval manuscript can mark an exchange of vows: the exhibition concludes with a 15th-century illuminated prayer book that the 20th-century American bibliophile Philip Hofer gave as an engagement present to his wife.

Girl Scouts to Take Action on Energy Awareness and Conservation through Trane Grant Project
New York, N.Y.—Girl Scouts from six U.S. councils are exploring the importance of energy efficiency and conservation and discovering ways to make an impact on the environment through a grant project funded by Trane, a leading global provider of indoor comfort systems and services.
Trane employees will engage in activities with Girl Scouts to help them understand how proficiency in science, technology, engineering and mathematics can make a difference in their communities and the wider world around them.
"We know that girls care deeply about the environment, and this is a wonderful opportunity for them to not only learn about energy efficiency and conservation, but conduct an actual energy audit," said Kathy Cloninger, Chief Executive Officer of Girl Scouts of the USA.
Trane volunteers, in partnership with council staff members, will work with girls to take action around energy efficiency as part of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience, the new leadership program. Girl Scout Juniors in grades four and five will team with Trane volunteers to conduct a building energy audit and other activities to learn about energy efficiency and conservation in buildings.
"Buildings consume more energy than any other sector in the United States," said Jeff Watson, Vice President of Hussmann and Trane in North America. "Equipping girls with the skills needed to make buildings more efficient today will help ensure a better environment tomorrow."
Most of the projects at councils in California, Indiana, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey and New York will take place in late March and April.
The newly implemented Girl Scout Leadership Experience program engages girls in discovering themselves, connecting with others and taking action to make the world a better place. The first series of books for Girl Scouts that incorporates the leadership model, known as Journey books, was introduced in 2008. The second series of Journey books, It's Your Planet—Love It, had an environmental theme and was published in the summer of 2009.
In addition to the collaboration with Trane employee volunteers, the grant from Trane supported the development of the It's Your Planet—Love It Journey book for Girl Scout Juniors that focuses on energy and helps girls perform a simple building energy audit, analyze the results and present their findings and possible solutions.

The Avs are 1-4-2, but am I stressed about it? Nah
Psst. Hey you, Avs Fan. You're stressed right now. You want to lash out about it. You want to go on a righteous rant about it. You might want to mix in a bad word or two. Been there, done that, about a lot of silly things in my life.
But I want you to take a deep breath with me. Ready? Go … and, exhale. Ahhh. That felt good, right? Do a couple more. Good.
OK, so the Avs are 1-4-2. OK, so they got beat on opening night in Minnesota worse than the Broncos did at MetLife Stadium to the Seahawks. OK, so the Florida Panthers nearly doubled their season's goal output in one game against the Avs Tuesday night, from their previous five games combined. OK, so Sara Lee is thinking about being a team sponsor after all the turnovers committed by the Avs' defense so far.
OK, so things haven't started off too great. Everybody is clutching the pearls about it. Well, I'm hear to tell you that things will be OK. Let me play the "historical perspective" card with you here:
- I remember being in Los Angeles in October 1998, for Game 5 of the regular season. The Avs came into that game 0-4 and people were freaking out about it. Bob Hartley was the team's first-year coach, and already some fans wanted him fired. The Avs' first three games were at home, and a team with Peter Forsberg, Joe Sakic, Milan Hejduk, Valeri Kamensky, Claude Lemieux, Adam Deadmarsh, Chris Drury and more was shut out in two of them, by Buffalo and Boston.
They went on the road for Game 4 in Phoenix and got smoked by the Coyotes at the old America West Arena. In that Game 5 in L.A., at the old Fabulous Forum, the game see-sawed back and forth into the third period, when the Kings took a 5-3 lead on goals by Glen Murray and Yanic Perreault. Perreault's goal came with 1:40 left in regulation, making it 5-3. With a late West Coast deadline about to hit on my game story, I put my 100-word-a-minute typing skills into overdrive and wrote a lead paragraph of something like — and I'm paraphrasing a paragraph here — "OK Avalanche fans, now you can push the panic button."
