Reflex Micro Whey 2.27kg
Key Features
For the last ten years researchers at Reflex Nutrition sought to develop the ultimate, highly digestible, undenatured Whey Protein Isolate product. The result, Micro Whey - our purest protein product yet. It's highly advanced form is specifically designed to deliver more biologically active whey peptides and amino acids straight to your muscles.
Micro Whey contains active micro fractions
The number one ingredient in Micro Whey is undenatured Cross Micro Filtered Whey Protein Isolate. Which is likely the highest quality form of whey protein available, it also contains all the biologically Active Micro-Fractions found in native whey protein. More importantly these Active Micro-Fractions have shown to have very positive biological effects within the body.

Google Starts Disappearing Part Of The Internet In Europe
from the censorship-in-action deptAnd so it begins. Following last month's dangerous "right to be forgotten" censorship ruling by the EU Court of Justice, Google has now started censoring truthful search results in Europe . According to the Wall Street Journal:
Google engineers overnight updated the company's technical infrastructure to begin implementing the removals, and Thursday began sending the first emails to individuals informing them that links they had requested were being taken down. The company has hired a dedicated "removals team" to evaluate each request, though only a small number of the initial wave of takedown requests has so far been processed.Perhaps even more troubling, is that after EU regulators got worked up about Google's plan to at least indicate that certain search results had been removed (as it does with DMCA copyright takedowns), Google has backed down on that plan:
"This week, we're starting to take action on the removals requests that we've received," a Google spokesman said. "This is a new process for us. Each request has to be assessed individually, and we're working as quickly as possible to get through the queue."
Google, for its part, has appeared to bend to regulators' desire that the company refrain from indicating in search results when something had been removed. Google had earlier indicated it might highlight the removals, something it does when it removes links to pirated content. But EU regulators told Google in recent weeks that such a move would undermine the spirit of the decision by making it clear some individuals had wanted information about them suppressed, one regulator said.Still, it seems highly likely that Google is going to face more litigation over this, since some are grumbling that Google is only removing those results on its EU pages, and that if someone sneaks over to one of Google's non-EU search engines, it can still find the (again, truthful) information.
Instead, Google on Thursday added a blanket notification that appears at the bottom of most results for individual name searches conducted on Google's European search websites, according to an explanation the company posted to its website. The notification—"Some results may have been removed under data protection law in Europe"—is added algorithmically to searches that appear to be for a name, a person familiar with the matter said.
This whole thing is a huge mess based on people totally misunderstanding the nature of public information. And, because of that, there are going to be a series of fights over just how far Google has to go in censoring such information.

Sharapova returns with convincing opening win in Brisbane
Every point mattered for Maria Sharapova in her competitive comeback from injury, even in a first-round match in the season-opening tournament.
Sharapova beat 74th-ranked Caroline Garcia of France 6-3, 6-0 Monday, ripping forehand winners and nullifying her rival's biggest weapon with consistently aggressive service returns. She chased down balls to turn the tempo when she was behind in two games in the second set, and celebrated break points with triple fist pumps even when the result was well beyond doubt.
The four-time major winner played only one match following an early exit at Wimbledon last season because of a right shoulder injury. She showed no signs of soreness in advancing to the second round at the Brisbane International, her only warm-up event for the Australian Open.
"It's been four months . . . (so) it was a big step for me. It was a big step to come and a big step to play out there tonight," Sharapova said, adding that she was pain-free and feeling good. "These matches are what I came here for. No matter the opponent or the situation, you know, they're really priceless for me at this point, and extremely important."
The third-seeded Sharapova hit 26 winners and kept the unforced errors to 10, hitting six aces and only one double-fault – immediately after a backhand winner down the line had given her triple match point.
She will next play 17-year-old Australian qualifier Ashleigh Barty, who had 6-3, 7-5 win over 2012 Brisbane finalist Daniela Hantuchova.
Also advancing were fourth-seeded Jelena Jankovic, who beat 2010 French Open champion Francesca Schiavone 6-2, 7-6 (6), No. 5 Angelique Kerber, No. 8 Carla Suarez and No. 9 Dominika Cibulkova.
Sharapova's boyfriend, fifth-seeded Grigor Dimitrov, beat Robin Haase of the Netherlands 6-2, 6-3 in the day's last match on center court.
The star on the men's side is Roger Federer, who has been working with Stefan Edberg in preparation for the Australian Open.
After failing to win a Grand Slam title in 2013, the 17-time major winner is the latest in a line of highly-ranked players who have hired past greats as coaches in the wake of Andy Murray's success with Ivan Lendl. Novak Djokovic recently announced a partnership with Boris Becker — a move that surprised Federer.
"Not necessarily that he hired somebody . . . but Becker I was surprised," Federer said. "I didn't think he wanted to become a coach. I didn't expect to see him back on tour.
"I'm happy seeing former greats and legends excited to be doing such a job and wanting to help the next generations. To bring them back into the game, it's a good thing."
In men's first-round matches, Sam Querrey upset seventh-seeded Dmitry Tursunov 7-5, 6-4, Marin Cilic had a 6-7 (3), 7-6 (5), 6-4 win over Denis Istomin and Jarkko Nieminen beat local hope James Duckworth 6-2, 6-3.
At the Hopman Cup in Perth, Sloane Stephens and John Isner gave the United States a 3-0 win over Spain.
Stephens, who beat Serena Williams en route to the 2013 Australian Open semifinals, won nine of the last 10 games in a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Anabel Medina Garrigues in the singles before Isner beat Daniel Munoz-de La Nava 6-3, 6-4.
Stephens and Isner then combined to win the mixed doubles as Spain slumped to back-to-back 3-0 defeats.
France also won, beating the Czech Republic 2-1.
Jo-Wilfried Tsonga defeated Radek Stepanek 6-1, 6-4, but Petra Kvitova evened the score by beating Alize Cornet 6-1, 3-6, 7-5.
Cornet and Tsonga then beat Kvitova and Stepanek 6-1, 6-3.
At the ASB Classic tournament in Auckland, New Zealand, Venus Williams beat Andrea Hlavackova 6-3, 7-6 (1) in her opening match.
Other first-round winners included Yvonne Meusburger, who beat seventh-seeded Mona Barthel 6-4, 6-3, and fifth-seeded Jamie Hampton.

This sequel to a family hit based on the popular children's book by E.B. White again mixes live action actors with computer-animated cartoon characters. Michael J. Fox returns as the voice of Stuart Little, a three-inch tall talking mouse adopted by a human family in New York City. When his older "brother", George (Jonathan Lipnicki), starts spending more time with his other friends, playing games that Mrs. Little (Geena Davis) feels are too dangerous for the diminutive Stuart, the lonely fellow goes in search of companionship and finds it when he makes the acquaintance of Margalo (voice of Melanie Griffith), a tiny bird wounded by a sinister falcon (voice of James Woods) that is relentlessly pursuing her. While Margalo's busted wing heals up the Littles' house, Stuart grows closer to her and falls in love, but his new pal is hiding a secret that involves the villainous falcon and jewelry theft. In order to save his friend and their friendship, Stuart must call upon the assistance of the dreaded Snowbell (voice of Nathan Lane), the Little family cat with a Catskills comic delivery and no great love of Stuart. ~ Karl Williams, Rovi

Jan 11
The TSA has once again reverted to lies in an attempt to protect its new security theatre show control measures, claiming that recent reports of 70% security failure rates are no longer accurate.
Just over a fortnight ago we reported on the revelations that TSA agents are now so busy groping and irradiating airline passengers that they are routinely missing the presence of bombs and guns in both tests and live situations.
After ABC News covered the story of an Iranian/American businessman expressing his disbelief at being allowed onto a flight with a loaded handgun, it was widely reported in the media that such TSA failures were commonplace.
It was noted that screeners detect less than 30% of the knives and guns that officials try to sneak through security in tests. Failures to detect explosive material and bomb parts were also disturbingly high, according to the reports.
This underscores how the newly enhanced and invasive TSA security procedures are pure theatre and actually do nothing to make anyone safer. Indeed, it may be argued that the procedures are putting fliers in more danger as screeners are spending more time groping people and ordering them through x-ray body scanners than checking for potentially dangerous items in their hand luggage.
In a belated response, the now infamous TSA blogger "Bob", who previously claimed that despite thousands of complaints from passengers, there was "no fondling, squeezing, groping, or any sort of sexual assault taking place at airports", says that the security failure rate figures widely covered by the media are no longer relevant.
The TSA blog describes the security failure reports as "all misleading" and "outdated", claiming that the figures cited were taken from tests carried out in 2004-2005.
Not true Bob.
As highlighted by The Economist's business travel blog:
The ABC News report Gulliver linked to last month didn't rely on 2004, 2005, or 2006 numbers—it referenced "a person briefed" on "the latest tests" who said they have a failure rate of 70%.
In addition, TSA head John Pistole made the following comments less than a month ago during an interview on Good Morning America:
"… unfortunately, [undercover testers] have been very successful over the years. And one of the findings is that we have not been thorough enough. And the concern obviously is, if that's an Abdulmutallab — a Christmas Day bomber — who is doing it rather than an undercover agent, then that can have catastrophic results."
Of course, very few people actually know what the current rate of TSA security failures are, because the Department of Homeland Security has classified the results of the most recent random, covert "red team tests," where undercover agents try to see what they can get past airport security. The reason they have done so is presumably because the results have been so shockingly and consistently bad for the past nine years.
If the figures had improved significantly then you can rest assured that the TSA would be forcing them down our throats as justification for enhanced airport tyranny, rather than declaring them top secret and locking them away from public view.
As The Economist's Gulliver blog states "the agency can't have it both ways. If TSA officials are going to imply that the situation has improved since the last inspector general and GAO reports were leaked to the press, they should prove it."
However, it seems the agency would rather send out an anonymous blogger named Bob to attack anyone who points out the absurdly obvious where the TSA's security theatrics are concerned.
Once again this shows that the TSA and Homeland Security are willingly resorting to outright lies in a pathetic attempt to bolster their ailing control agenda. Those making official statements on behalf of the legions of strip search goon squads clearly have little regard for the safety of Americans.Scridb filter

Just What is the Business Case for BYOD?
Let Them Eat Tablets: BYOD Drives Employee Satisfaction
My observation from talking to customers and seeing how bring your own device (BYOD) is being adopted is that there are two scenarios for the BYOD business case:
- Application-specific mobility: specific industry applications with a proven ROI
- Enterprise-wide mobility: adoption over many enterprises, regardless of industry type or worker type, softer or harder-to-prove ROI
Application Specific
The first scenario is one where IT will provide employees with a mobile device. This scenario is industry-specific, has a shorter time to return on investment, is simpler to quantify, and the ROI is easier to prove. Devices stay in the control and ownership of the organization and its IT department. This scenario includes capturing data at the point of retail activity and enabling data capture and access to workers who traditionally do not sit at desks in front of PCs.
Enterprise Wide
The second scenario is where the true BYOD explosion is happening and has the potential to change the way we work everywhere. Cisco's Internet Business Solutions Group (IBSG) recently conducted a survey, BYOD and Virtualization. When I read it I thought, "Here we are. Enterprise mobility has arrived big time." IBSG found that the two biggest benefits to business for adopting a broad BYOD strategy are employee satisfaction and employee productivity. The world is changing, how and where we work is changing, and consumer expectation is changing how people expect and want to work. According to the 2011 Cisco Connected World report, two of five respondents said they would even accept a lower-paying job that had more flexibility with regard to device choice, social media access, and mobility than a higher-paying job with less flexibility. This certainly resonates with me.
Benefit: Employee Satisfaction
Let's start with the easy benefit, employee satisfaction. We have seen jumps in employee satisfaction scores of one whole point on a scale of 1 to 5 just through BYOD services offering employees the choice to use their own most cherished devices for productive work on the corporate network. That is massive – one whole point is not to be sniffed at. Employees want choice and flexibility which the IBSG highlights in two striking points:
- 40% of surveyed employees cited "device choice" as their top BYOD priority (the ability to use their favourite device — anywhere).
- Respondents' second BYOD priority is the desire to perform personal activities at work, and work activities during personal time.
Benefit: Employee Productivity
So on to employee productivity. This is harder to quantify, but some companies are taking a stab at it. Intel quotes productivity gains on the order of 2 million hours gained over a year, and that is just for an initial 10,000 user rollout. I've been using my own devices for work for so long that I simply cannot imagine getting my job done effectively without them. I spend about 1 to 3 hours a day using my own devices depending upon where I am. I sit on the train for an hour reading and creating documents and instant messaging my colleagues, spend an hour in the car on my way to the office joining WebEx conference calls, get home to pick my son up, then click through my approvals list while he has a snack. Multiply that by an entire workforce and you've got more productive and much happier staff on an order of magnitude of millions of hours of more productive work time.
But a word of caution, in order to achieve these heady heights of satisfaction and productivity we need to watch two things: Security and TCO.
Let's see how you achieve these business benefits while still keeping within appropriate security polices and preventing the costs from spiralling.
Challenge: Security
Security absolutely must be at an appropriate level to protect your corporate data at rest and on the move. But if security is too intrusive and impacts the user experience too much, productivity will drop off as it becomes too hard to use the devices and satisfaction will drop off sharply. If the level of security required will impact the user experience adversely, think very carefully about whether it is worth it at all.
- Aim to use as many of the native security features within the operating system as possible
- Try to enable users to use corporate-provided apps as well as native and public apps or you will stifle ingenuity.
- Provide secure corporate solutions for file sharing and use policy engines or mobile device management (MDM) to block unsecure public cloud apps.
Remember if you prevent users from using the very excellent user interface that the device vendor has created, well, they simply are not going to use it and bang goes your business case.
Challenge: TCO or Ongoing Costs
While there are some savings to be had pushing the purchase price of the device to the employee, do not underestimate the impact on support staff of additional requests to provision, troubleshoot, and update new devices and the ongoing costs for the infrastructure to be able to handle and manage these new devices. If these ongoing costs spiral with a mass influx of devices, the business case will again not stack up.
- Look to certify the operating system, not the device.
- Provide self provision and self support tools.
- Ensure you have an architecture that supports your strategy, one that will allow you to address mobility, video, cloud, virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) and consumerisation all in one holistic approach, not as isolated projects.
- Ensure you have management tools; centralised and simple policy engines across wired, wireless, and remote access; and visibility of activity on the network, what they are doing, where they are doing it, and what devices they are doing it on.
To learn more about your options for deploying BYOD, take a look at the Cisco BYOD Smart Solution , more ideas from IBSG, and a case study of how Cisco internal IT rolled out their BYOD strategy. Cisco's project to provide corporate network access for employee mobile devices resulted in the following benefits:
- Reduced costs by 30 percent while serving 42,000 mobile devices
- Established a service delivery model that easily scales to meet growth in users and devices
- Reduced corporate-paid accounts while allowing access from employees' personal devices
- Created online wiki for user self-support

The leaves have fallen, frost is on car windows every morning, and hundreds of bros across the North Side are posting selfies to show off their sometimes pitiful, sometimes impressive attempts at growing mustaches.
Yes, we're in the midst of another Movember.
For those of you not in the mo (that's the only pun in this column, I swear!), Movember is a tradition in which guys grow mustaches to raise awareness for prostate cancer and other men's health issues. The global phenomenon born in Australia is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year.
But go through your Facebook or Instagram feeds and you'd hardly know Movember has anything to do with cancer, men's health or Aussies at all. Too many of the guys participating in Movember don't seem interested in the cause. Instead, they see it as a cool way to stay occupied between Halloween and Black Wednesday.
Think I'm way wrong? Tell me one thing you've learned about prostate cancer, testicular cancer or men's health so far this month. Go on. I'll wait.
I was interested in learning about the campaign and its purpose, so I asked a few Movember bros about men's health. You know what I got? A lot of "uh" and "dunno" answers.
I learned more about men's health only while doing research for this column. I went to the Movember website, appropriately enough.
Here are a few important facts every man should know, directly from us.movember.com:
>>One in six American men will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetimes, making it the most frequently diagnosed cancer in men after skin cancer.
>>A man is 35 percent more likely to be diagnosed with prostate cancer than a woman is to be diagnosed with breast cancer.
>>Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in young men between the ages of 15 and 35.
While I learned all of this and more from the website, I'm sad to say not one mustachioed participant I've met ever passed on any information about prostate cancer, testicular cancer or men's health. Not this year, not last year and not the year before that. Never.
Either Movember needs to get back to its roots, or those bros who use Movember only as an excuse to put their d-baggery on full display need to find someone else's campaign to ruin. I get that Movember is fun, in a male camaraderie sort of way. But this is bigger than a few whiskers.
To the dudes taking Movember seriously and using their fuzzy lips to spread the word about common forms of cancer among the hairier sex, I salute you. We all should be making sure our boys are taking good care of their boys.
Onward, bros! And check for lumps!

VTA will implement a number of service changes early next year. Nearly all the changes were approved by the board earlier in the Spring. A number of commuter express routes will have new hybrid buses with better seating and free wifi. Those include lines 102, 103, 120, 121, 122, 182, and 183. Line 183 will be a new route from the Evergreen/Eastridge area to Fremont BART via Hostetter Light Rail. It is a route requested by VTA's MTC liaison Dave Cortese.
In addition, line 23 will have frequency going from every 12 minutes to every 10 minutes to address the recent overcrowding. Line 22 will have additional trips. Line 16 in Morgan Hill will lose service during the midday hours.
Earlier today the Caltrain board approved a public hearing over possible fare changes. While the details has yet to be released, Caltrain staff is planning to raise the fares on the paper ticket and eliminate the 8-ride ticket for Clipper (while the regular fare for Clipper stay the same). Under that scenario, Caltrain would follow Golden Gate Transit to provide discounts for all Clipper users. The 8-ride ticket is a headache for many Caltrain users. Many riders have to purchase the ticket online, wait a few days to load, and then still have to tag on and off for every ride. If a rider has an 8-ride ticket for zone 1 and 2 but wants to travel to zone 3, that rider can't deduct a ride off the ticket and pay an upgrade, but instead will have to pay a one way fare for the entire trip.
The Clipper implementation is mostly a disaster, but MTC is making transit agencies to do it with the threat of withholding funds.
Besides Clipper, Caltrain is almost completing the station reconstruction at Santa Clara and platform additions in San Jose. At the Santa Clara Caltrain Station, there will be a new center platform for the northbound Caltrain as well as Capitol Corridor and ACE trains operating on the Union Pacific track. When the construction is scheduled to finish sometime later this month, both ACE and Capitol Corridor trains will stop at the new platform, which riders can transfer to the line 10 bus to San Jose Airport.
ACE used to stop at the Santa Clara Station from 2001 to 2005, when Caltrain essentially evicted ACE when it added Baby Bullet service. ACE had to switch to the northbound Caltrain track in order to make a stop at Santa Clara.
Next month, SamTrans will introduce a day pass but will eliminate paper monthly passes. Riders will need to have a Clipper Card to load monthly passes.

Ligety carves his way to giant slalom gold
Ted Ligety, who skis the way a swordfighter slashes, was inclined to apply his saber-like edges to a soft portion of the Olympic giant slalom course on his second run down the mountain.
But U.S. ski team coach Sasha Rearick warned him not to blow his chances with a preventable mistake. Ligety had carved up the snow and the field on his first speedy run. No need to gamble.
"The idea was to ski the second run as if it was a strategic chess match, which Ted executed brilliantly," Rearick said. "There was a clear spot where he could have made time on everybody with his style of skiing, but we told him to ski it safe."
Ligety followed the plan, annihilated the opposition and confirmed his nickname of "Mr. GS" with a gold-medal performance in his specialty on Wednesday.
For Ligety, who has ruled the World Cup circuit for the past five years, winning at the Winter Olympics was a relief.
"It's my best event, and I wanted it the most, so I put a lot of pressure on myself," Ligety said. "To pull through is an awesome feeling."
Ligety, who won the super-combined at the 2006 Games, became the second American to win two Olympic alpine golds, joining Andi Mead-Lawrence, who won the slalom and giant slalom at the 1952 Oslo Games. He's the first non-European to win the event.
He did it by relying on his signature style, which not only defies the laws of physics but the anatomy of the human knee. To watch Ligety's turns is to marvel at his balance and power through extreme leans. His skis are bent at a nearly 90-degree angle to the snow.
His other nickname is "Shred" – also the name of his ski equipment company – and that is what Ligety does when cutting past gates.
Let Bode Miller – who placed 20th – explain: "He goes deeper and his turn is longer. Watch the other top guys and you see a flat spot between their turns, where the pressure stops, and each new turn is starting from scratch. But Ted will keep turning until it's time to link to the next, and that way he generates more speed."
Ligety, 29, honed his distinctive skill in Park City, Utah, where he started skiing at age 2.
"I'm definitely a student of the sport and I analyze ways to get faster," he said. "I was able to develop a unique technique, using the ski rules to my advantage. I'm always looking for ways to push myself. If I ever stay static, I'd have no chance the next year."
Miller compared Ligety's creation of a trademark form to the way Alberto Tomba, Hermann Maier and Michael Von Gruenigen set themselves apart.
"Everyone is trying to do what he's doing because of the equipment and course sets," Miller said. "He's so much better at it."
Ligety skied with such a relaxed flow down the Rosa Khutor hill on the first run that he built a large .93 second lead. He arced rhythmically through the switchback turns. About three hours later, as the sun dipped in and out of gathering clouds, he put down a more controlled run, and still won by a comfortable margin of .48 seconds over Steve Missillier of France with a cumulative time of 2:45.29. Alexis Pinturault of France was third.
"He's amazing," said Germany's Felix Neureuther. "He led the whole race and kept it very smart."
Ligety said he played the Bear's Brow jump conservatively. He had studied the course over two years of occasional practice with Russian skiers. His first five times down, he didn't even finish.
"I knew how big of a jump that was, and it wasn't worth taking any risk," he said. "I didn't want to catch any air there or lose time. It guarantees that I don't lose a second on the flats."
After a warm week and wet Tuesday turned snow to stew, it hardened overnight.
"With it getting a lot colder, it's almost transformed," Ligety said. "It's almost like winter now. It's a lot less summery than it has been."
A sluggish Ligety won no medals in Whistler four years ago after his success at the 2006 Games. Expectations grew for the Sochi Olympics as he collected season GS titles. At the 2013 World Championships, Ligety's three golds in super G, GS and super combined made him the first man since Jean Claude Killy in 1968 to pull off a hat trick. He was in contention for the super G gold here but flew off a jump awkwardly. He will be favored to win Saturday's slalom, as teammate Mikaela Shiffrin is favored to win Friday's women's slalom.
"Being a favorite is never easy because there are so many factors out there," Ligety said. "Every time in the start gate I feel that anxiety. It's skiing – the least guaranteed sport for winning a medal."

|Keeping In Touch: Eastern Airlines Retirees Association, number 114 (May 1998).
|Scope note
|The Eastern Airlines Collection, 1927-2008 (bulk 1965-2008), consists of news clippings, press releases, newsletters, annual reports, monthly reports, correspondence, memoranda, photographs, slides, an early scrapbook (or day book), artifacts (promotional items) and audiovisual materials. This collection mainly provides insight into publicity and outreach efforts at Eastern Airlines, but also its history, charitable work, and day-to-day operations. The materials were accumulated by Carolyn Lee Wills, who worked in the Public Relations Department of Eastern's Southern Regional Office from 1965 until 1987.
|Biographical or historical note
|Carolyn Lee Wills graduated from Georgia State University, where she studied journalism, history and speech. She also participated in many extra-curricular activities including Panhellenic Council, Delta Zeta Sorority, and yearbook. Before she began her work at Eastern Airlines, she traveled extensively throughout Europe, Asia, North and South America, Jamaica, the Bahamas, and Bermuda.; In 1965, Wills joined Eastern Airlines as a Representative of Women's Activities. In this role, she interpreted the company's program to women by working in the fields of fashion, radio, television, public relations, and promotions. In 1971, Wills became made Regional Manager of Public Relations. Eastern Airlines closed its Atlanta offices in November 1973, but found it difficult to cover their public relations needs in Atlanta from their headquarters in Miami. Four months after closing, Wills was re-hired by Eastern to manage the Southern Division covering Atlanta to Tokyo. While employed by Eastern Airlines, Wills served on many boards including American Women in Radio and Television, Georgia State University Alumni Association, and was a national representative of Delta Zeta Sorority. In 1966, she married attorney Charles H. Wills. The earliest incarnation of Eastern Airlines was Pitcairn Aviation, founded in 1927, which was the U.S. Postal Service contractor flying from New York to Atlanta. In 1930, the carrier was sold to North American Aviation owner Clement Keys and was renamed Eastern Air Transport. It soon added passenger routes and adopted the name Eastern Air Lines. Throughout the pre-World War II era, Eastern dominated passenger travel and air transport along the Atlantic coast, including the introduction of one-day service from New York to Miami in 1932. Famed pilot Eddie Rickenbacker bought the company in 1938 and was closely identified with it until his 1963 retirement. During the air travel boom of the 1950s and 1960s, Eastern Airlines grew into one of the ""Big Four"" United States carriers, enhancing its status as the lead air travel carrier on domestic east coast flights with the introduction of air shuttle service in 1961. Shuttle service was created as an alternative to bus routes and included hourly flights from Atlanta to Washington D.C., New York, and Boston. During this time, Eastern Airlines also expanded international service to Mexico, Bermuda, Puerto Rico, and Canada. Under the leadership of former astronaut Frank Borman (hired as an advisor in 1969, he became Chief Executive Officer in 1975), Eastern Airlines enjoyed continued successes in the industry until the enactment of the Airline Deregulation Act of 1978.; Beginning with Eastern's early U.S. Postal Service government contract, the company had relied upon the regulated and protective policies governing the airline industry. Without government protection, Eastern's profits began to make a downward turn that eventually culminated in the selling of the company to Texas Air International, headed by Frank Lorenzo. Following deregulation, Lorenzo was able to purchase multiple airlines including Continental, Frontier, New York Air, and Eastern. To cut costs in the midst of declining profits, Lorenzo asked Eastern's union employees to take massive pay cuts in wages and benefits. Union workers refused to accept Lorenzo's demands and opted to go on strike. By claiming bankruptcy in 1989, Lorenzo was able to hire non-union workers to fill the jobs of striking employees. Lorenzo took his demands a step further when he asked the machinists' union to take a pay cut, which resulted in another strike that dealt the final blow to any hope that Eastern Airlines would recover lost profits. In 1991, Eastern Airlines was permanently grounded. Eastern's main hubs in Atlanta and Miami were taken over by various competitors and its concourses in New York and Newark were demolished.

Since you can't gear for mastery, the only compromise you're making is whether or not you want haste, crit, expertise or hit. That's all. There is no other compromise to be made. The question then becomes what gear gives you the most potential mastery value while also giving you the most hit and expertise (up to the cap) and the most agility.
Doing something like this and evaluating 40% of the highest secondary stat as mastery (no matter what it was), I came up with the following values for gear. This was using 1.1 for agility, .6 for expertise and hit, .5 for haste and crit, 1.1 for mastery, 22 for each socket and assuming that the highest stat would always be converted to mastery.
shadowvault slayer's cloak back 228.12
sylvanas' cunning back 196.3
gloaming sark chest 416.28
ikfirus chest 431.86
T10277 chest 412.98
footpads of silence feet 289.6
frostbitten fur boots feet 297.6
taldaram's slippers feet 265.6
Endless Vengeance ring 209.66
bone colossus ring 232.5
frostbrood ring 228.12
saurfang ring 194.6
seal of many mouths ring 234.12
Signet of twilight ring 244.72
aldriana's hand 306.4
t10277 hand 297.2
discarded bag head 331.4
geistlord head 370.38
t10277 head 383.46
gangrenous legs 423.18
T10277 legs 423.58
sindragosa's cruel claw neck 228.12
baltharus' gift neck 216.56
precious neck 201.18
rimetooth neck 203.4
cultists shoulder 306.4
T10277 shoulder 297.2
Oathbinder weapon 434.58
Bloodfall weapon 422.18
distant land weapon 416.58
tainted twig weapon 380.86
hersir's weapon 328.32
shaft weapon 361.32
astrylian waist 297.6
soulthief waist 271.64
vengeful waist 283.2
umbrage wrist 247.02
toskk wrist 228.12
vambraces wrist 203.4
The highest non-tier piece is Ikfirus compared to any other. The gain is small but there. Another surprise is Seal of Many Mouths, which wins out over the other 277 rings due to the expertise. (note that this doesn't take into account the proc of Endless vengeance, but that shouldn't matter. Mouths, bone colossus, frostbrood, endless vengeance is the order for the 277s.
The head and legs for T10 were both superior to their non-offtier values. The shoulders are identical to the Aldriana's in terms of gain; you could use either T10 shoulders or hands as your offtier piece, if it suited you.
Based on this you would have the following gear set as a best in slot:
Cloak: Shadowvault's (40% of haste to mastery)
Chest: Ikfirus (40% of hit to mastery)
Feet: Frostbitten (40% of crit to mastery)
Rings: Signet of Twilight (40% of crit to mastery), Seal of many mouths (40% of crit to mastery)
Hand: T10 (40% of crit to mastery)
Head: T10 (40% of crit to mastery)
Legs: T10 (40% of crit to mastery)
Neck: Sindragosa (40% of crit to mastery)
Shoulder: T10 (40% of crit to mastery)
Weapon: Oathbinder (40% of haste to mastery)
Waist: Astrylian (40% of crit to mastery)
Wrist: Umbrage (40% of haste to mastery)
This naively would result in the following (including the idol slot)
agility: + 1799
crit: +753
expertise: +272
haste: +719
hit: +126
mastery: +482
This is clearly over the cap on expertise and under on hit, so you can simply reforge the ikfirus' expertise instead. Giving you 230 expertise and 171 hit. Not perfectly capped, but pretty close.
I believe this is the maximal value of mastery you could get currently. It also has 21 sockets.

Why do we worship stupid people? That's what we do as we celebrate the road warrior who jumps off of the red eye into a rental car and zooms down the highway. It's what we do when we cheer the team that kept pulling all-nighters.
Missing just one night's sleep has a noticeable impact on the brain's ability to function, as Dardo Tomasi and his colleagues at the Brookhaven National Laboratory discovered when they took 14 healthy, non-smoking right-handed men and made half of them stay awake through the night. In the morning, both rested and groggy subjects were put through a serious of tests while an fMRI scanner took pictures of their brains to find out how the rested brain differed from the one that was deprived of sleep. They found, not so surprisingly, that the sleepier the subjects, the lower their accuracy in the tests.
But it was the details that were most interesting.
Thinking takes energy.
The scientists found that two key areas of the brain--the parietal lobe and the occipital lobe--were less active in the sleep-deprived participants. The parietal lobe in the brain integrates information from the senses and is also involved in our knowledge of numbers and manipulation of objects. The occipital lobe takes part in visual processing. So both areas are highly engaged in processing visual information and numbers.
The thalamus, on the other hand, was very busy in the sleepy subjects. Scientists hypothesize that the thalamus attempts to compensate for the reduced activity in the parietal and occipital lobes. The thalamus sits at the center of the brain and is responsible for the regulation of consciousness, sleep, and alertness. It was, in other words, working extra hard to stay alert. When you're sleep-deprived, all the energy you might need to solve a hard problem is instead diverted to the challenge of staying awake.
Without sleep, you're making trade-offs.
What these and other studies indicate is that, yes, we can stay awake for long periods of time with little sleep, but what we lose, progressively, is the ability to think. For most of us, work isn't primarily about physical endurance, so mere wakefulness is not enough. We need to think.
Sleep deprivation starts to starve the brain. There is a reason why we tend to eat comfort food like donuts or candy when we're exhausted; our brains crave sugar. After 24 hours of sleep deprivation, there is an overall reduction of 6% in glucose reaching the brain. But the loss isn't shared equally; the parietal lobe and the prefrontal cortex lose 12% to 14% of their glucose. And those are the areas we need most for thinking: for distinguishing between ideas, social control, and to be able to tell the difference between good and bad.
What the studies show is that the cost of staying awake is very high. You can turn up when you're tired, but you can't think or be relied upon to make solid or sound decisions. This may go a long way towards explaining bad decisions. It certainly means that when someone comes into work off of the red eye, instead of applauding, you should send them home before they do any damage.

SANTA BARBARA, Calif. - The UC Santa Barbara men's basketball team has accepted an invitation to play in the postseason College Insider Tournament on Wednesday at the University of Idaho, it was announced on Sunday.
The Gauchos, who have a record of 20-10, will advance to their third straight postseason and their fourth in the last five years. UCSB lost to Long Beach State in the championship of the Big West Tournament on Saturday night. It was the third straight final between the two schools and the first that went Long Beach's way.
Santa Barbara is led by guard Orlando Johnson who is the school's all-time leading scorer and eclipsed the 1,800 point mark on Saturday night. Johnson and James Nunnally form the greatest duo in UCSB history and one of the greatest in Big West annals. Together, they have scored more than 3,200 points.
Idaho is a former member of the Big West Conference and is currently a Western Athletic Conference member.
"The opportunity to go to the postseason is special," said UCSB head coach Bob Williams. "In 2008, we had a special group that included Al (Alex) Harris, Chris Devine and Ivan (Elliott), they won the regular season title and had to settle for the NIT. It was a great experience. That group wasn't sure it wanted to go, but we did, and they had one of the best times of their lives. I hope this experience is great for this group."
The Gauchos and Vandals will tip-off at 7:00 p.m. The game will be broadcast on AM 1290 KZSB, the Santa Barbara News-Press radio station.

Browsing over at /. I saw the popular website AdCritic.com which was put to rest in December will rise from the ashes. The Advertising Age group has purchased AdCritic.com and the site's archives and will relaunch the site. How the new AdCritic site will look when it is relaunched is not clear, but appears the site will be significantly different than before. The AdCritic website will be rolled into an Ad Age network of web sites. From their press release they state:
Ad Age officials stressed that the new online service will be targeted specifically at ad industry professionals, and was not meant for the broad consumer market. As such, they said, it will consist of a premium level of content for business subscribers. Users will be able to subscribe online for a low monthly fee when the service launches early this summer.
One reason for the site's popularity was because of the broad consumer market, it is also this popularity that most likely caused its early demise. I wonder if the downloads of current and archived ads will be available for the casual browser or if they will only be available to their subscribers. Like Yaz stated in his obituary, it is surprising that the companies that produced the advertisements AdCritic hosted didn't invest in its survival. Maybe financing and subscriptions from advertising agencies will help keep the hosted ads free of charge for the casual browser. Ads aren't quite as effective if there are barriers to their viewing. Ad Age is soliciting comments on what was liked and disliked about the old AdCritic, let them know what you think.
