People interested in Dogs and dog training
SmartPet.net is a personal website all about dogs with an emphasis on
dog training. I am looking for a sleek design easy on the eyes that is
unique, easy to navigate yet memorable. Are you the designer for me?
What am I looking for?
Home page - Unique themed home page including the logo that is
included in this contest.
the colour scheme should also follow the logo
Removal of the visible archives section.
removal of the "pages" title to make my navigation menu look like an
actual navigation menu.
A widget showing the last five blog posts that have been made to the
blog found within the site.
Various social media buttons such as YouTube, Facebook.
This is your opportunity to turn a plain looking Word Press home page
into a piece of art to look at. Go nuts when it comes to additional
flare to spruce up the home page, such as graphics, or anything that
will add to its appeal.
As for inner pages, I'd like the design to flow seemlessly, with the
navigation menu showing on every inner page, the blog archive
disappearing. Categories which are seen on the blog page can stay.
As for the footer, if it is legal to remove the Wordpress stuff, please do.

To read the article, "Israel strike on Gaza kills Hamas military leader" (Nov. 15), one could come away with very little understanding of what actually took place and what led up to it.
Ever since Operation Cast Lead ended four years ago, the terrorist organization Hamas has continuously attacked Southern Israel (including Baltimore's sister city Ashkelon) with heavy mortars, Qassam and Grad Rockets with a range of some 50 kilometers. Hamas is the de facto ruler in the Gaza Strip, which Israel returned to the Palestinians back in 2005.
Unfortunately, it's not until six paragraphs in that there is even a mention of Israel having been under attack. In fact, much of the mainstream press in the U.S. had not reported on the ongoing barrage from Gaza on Israeli schools, homes and markets. Now imagine if an area from Baltimore to Washington, D.C. was being bombed for months and years.
Imagine if children and parents had 20 seconds to run into a bomb shelter after the sirens went off. I imagine that would make headlines.
But it was not until showing remarkable restraint for months and years that Israel responded. And it was only then that headlines tore across the media implying that Israel was the aggressor in this action.

Liz, I'm pretty sure I had posted something to you not too long ago regarding some problems you were having with Inara with reactivity...
I'm a very big believer in working the dog without any distractions first. Then slowly introducing distractions...first at a far distance....then eventually moving closer. However, the first part, working without the distraction is imperative b/c that is how the handler really learns to read the dog. You can't effectively give a correction (with the right timing) if you can't read the dog.
And this is one thing that I want to work on with Jenn....PRIOR to introducing any distractions!

Ballantine's Championship. Another Golfing Weather Delay. April 25 2013
The Ballantine's Championship at Blackstone Golf Club in South Korea has started with a weather delay in the first round, wonder if its the same storm clouds that interrupted Harbour Town. Lewis Oosthuizen / Getty Images There are currently five players tied at the top of the leaderboard at the Ballantine's, all at -5 under par, with completed rounds of 67. there are still some players who could impact the top of this board, including Lewis Oosthuizen, who actually started his round with four birdies. Lewis still has two holes to complete, along with Tommy Fleetwood, both currently at -4 under par. Lewis said he was happy with his start; " It's a good start, I'm hitting it really well. I made nice putts, hit it fairly close the front nine, and probably made one or two longish birdie putts. Then teed off on ten and the wind came in, with the weather coming in, and I probably just missed two shots and put myself in really tough spots to get up and down and then made bogey. But I'm feeling good, spinning it well, I haven't hit it that well in a while like I did on the front nine." At the top are, Jean-Baptiste Gonnet, Kieran Pratt, Johan Edfors, Matthew Baldwin and local player Kim Gi-whan all completed their rounds after the delay of two hours and ten minutes, due to rain and poor visibility. Unfortunately there are no Americans contesting this tournament, the political tensions with North Korea have turned the competition into a no go area for them. Jean-Baptiste was happy to be at the top; " It was good to put my name up right away, because I haven't played like this for more than a year. I played pretty straight off the tee, and my putting was great; five under is a good score." Another happy camper was Johan Edfors; " I was really happy I came out of the block pretty good there on the front nine and played some really, really good golf." The first round will be completed tomorrow, before the start of the second round, lets hope for some better weather.

Sheena is a main character in Arceus and the Jewel of Life. She has been entrusted with the job of keeping the Michina Ruins hidden from the outside world, and alongside her partner Kevin strive to achieve peace. Sheena also has a unique ability to see into the hearts of Pokémon.
The Rise of Darkrai
After the events taking place at Alamos Town, both Sheena and Kevin became aware of the spacial displacement occurring, and were present when the town was returned to its appropriate location.
Giratina and the Sky Warrior
Similarly to the events of the first film, both Sheena and Kevin witnessed Zero's Megarig crashing into the glacier in Gracidea.
Befriending Ash, Dawn and Brock
When a giant whirlpool appeared, she and Kevin ran to the lake where Ash and his friends are. When Ash's Pikachu and Dawn's Piplup were sucked into the whirlpool, she calls for Dialga to save them which he does. Then, Giratina appears and attacks Diagla. She tries to connect it with its heart but the Pokémon's rage is too strong and Ash calms Giratina down. Sheena then introduces herself and tells them about her power. Brock flirts with her but is knocked out by Croagunk. Then, another whirlpool appears and traps Dialga but is saved by Palkia which she thanks. In the ruins, she and Kevin show them the Time-Space Axis that shows their world, the Reverse World, Diagla's dimension, Palkia's dimension and Arceus' dimension. Then, she shows the legend of Arceus and her ancestor, Damos. She shows them the Jewel of Life and says that they must return the Jewel to Arceus.
When Arceus appears, Sheena apologizes for Damos' despicable actions and returns the Jewel to him but he stomps and says that it's fake. Sheena, who's surprised, tries to explain to Arceus but his rage is too strong. Then, the Dragon Trio appear and try to stop Arceus. Dialga sends Sheena, Ash, Dawn, and Brock to the past when Arceus was betrayed. In the ruins, they almost fall to their deaths when Arceus attacks but Dialga sends them several hours before the betrayal. Marcus appears, uses Hypnosis on the kids, and tells Sheena to come with so she can explain everything to him. He gives her the staff but not with the Jewel which finds out when she's with Arceus. The Pokémon attack Arceus, Sheena tries to stop them but is saved by Damos who almost falls to her death. Sheena and Damos are almost killed by the "silver water" but Brock's Sudowoodo uses Hammer Arm to stop it.
Damos and Sheena manage to stop the Pokémon from attacking but Sheena loses control while tring to calm Arceus and leaves Damos to calm him. Arceus is dying from the attacks and Sheena and rest of the gang began to disappear. Damos calms Arceus down, the Jewel has been returned and the gang doesn't vanish. Before Sheena and her friends could fall to their deaths, Arceus saves them including the Pokémon. When they return to the present, they see the Dragon Trio injured and Arceus prepares the final attack but Ash reminds him what they fixed in the past. Everything is back to normal and Sheena falls in love with Kevin. They see a carving that Damos made for them which Sheena makes happy who realizes the true person inside her ancestor.
Dialga *
Palkia *
Giratina *
Arceus *
- Much like Damos, Sheena possesses the same ability to read the hearts of Pokémon. They both use the incantation "Transcend the Boundaries of Space and Time".

Nashville, Tenn. - After dropping its first home contest of the season against Loyola (Md.), the Tennessee State men's basketball team will look to rebound and make history against the Eagles of Morehead State on Thursday.
While TSU fell to 10-1 with a 69-67 loss to Loyola last Saturday, the Tigers could still tie the school record for single-season wins at the Gentry Center. TSU's best mark in the 10,000 seat arena was an 11-2 mark during the 1980-81 season- the first year the Tigers started calling the center home.
Against Loyola, TSU took an 11-point lead into halftime, but only scored 18 points during the second-half and made just one field goal in the game's final 10 minutes.
A cold spell of that magnitude is unusual for any team, but especially for a Tigers team that has been red-hot shooting the ball over the past three contests. TSU has made 51.3 percent of its shots during that span and an amazing 44.7 percent from beyond the three-point line.
If the Tigers shot 44.7 percent from deep during the entire season, they would be first in the nation out of 347 teams.
Patrick Miller had a team-high 17 points against the Greyhounds on 6-of-11 shooting. Kellen Thornton added 15 while Jordan Cyphers and Robert Covington poured in 11 and 10, respectively.
The combination of Covington, Cyphers, Miller and Thornton have scored 80.4 percent of TSU's 450 points since Covington came back from injury and TSU is the only team with four players who average at least ten points per game.
Covington also had a team-high nine boards, helping the Tigers to a 35-30 advantage on the boards.
TSU is one of the best teams in the OVC in rebounding margin, beating its opponents on the glass by an average of three boards per game. In fact, Tennessee State only trails one team in the category- Morehead State.
The Eagles enter Thursday night's nationally televised game with a 13-16 overall record and a 7-7 mark in conference.
Morehead State has two players who average over ten points per game in Milton Chavis (10.8) and Angelo Warner (10.3), but perhaps more important to the Eagle cause is Devon Atkinson and Chad Posthumus.
Atkinson has been Morehead's primary distributer this season and has racked up 150 assists. He is also 0.1 dishes behind Miller for the OVC's assist leader.
Posthumus has been a major factor in his team's +5.7 rebounding margin as the redshirt junior ranks eighth in the conference in rebounding (6.8 rpg) and second in offensive rebounds per contest (3.1).
TSU is 26-31 all-time against Morehead State including a 78-69 loss to the Eagles earlier this season.
The matchup between the Eagles and Tigers starts at 6 p.m. on Thursday night and the game will be broadcasted live on ESPNU. Fans can watch the game later on the OVC digital Network.

I haven't been excited about an awards show, any awards show, at all, since junior high when it was everything to watch the MTV Movie Awards in your friend's parents' basement, but that all changed when it was announced Tina Fey and Amy Poehler would be hosting the 2013 Golden Globes. In a little over two weeks (the show's on January 13), our girls Tina and Amy will kick the shit out of the "sloppy, loud party" that is this annual celebration of pretty people on TV and in movies.
How am I so sure they're going to kill it? Check this out.
In this promo video, Tina (and her golden globes) and Amy (with her golden globes covered in golden globey fabric) talk about meeting Angelina Jolie for the first time, discuss how awesome it would be to win Best Picture, like, not for a movie, just for being yourself, and predict that Avatar, starring Daniel Day-Lewis, will sweep this year's awards.
(Mom and Dad, that's funny because Avatar came out in 2009 and because Daniel Day-Lewis was not in the movie. They're being sarcastic! It's hilarious.)
Watch this vid of them and laugh and revel in the anticipation of the upcoming Golden Globes like it's the end of seventh grade and Cara's got cable in her mom's basement.
Are you excited??

RFC 5716 introduces the Federated File System (FedFS, for short). FedFS is an extensible standardized mechanism by which system administrators construct a coherent namespace across multiple file servers using file system referrals.
- Name: Ian Kent
- Email: email@example.com
Current status
- Targeted release: Fedora 18
- Last updated: Jul 24, 2012
- Percentage of completion: 100%
Detailed Description
RFC 5716 introduces the Federated File System (FedFS, for short). FedFS is an extensible standardized mechanism by which system administrators construct a coherent namespace across multiple file servers using file system referrals.
A file system referral is like a symbolic link to another file system share, but it is not visible to applications. It behaves like an automounted directory where a new file system mount is done when an application first accesses that directory. The arguments of the mount operation are controlled by information returned by the file server.
Today, file system referral mechanisms exist in several network file system protocols. FedFS provides its namespace features by leveraging referral mechanisms already built in to network file system protocols. Thus no change to file system protocols or clients is required.
Currently, the Linux FedFS implementation supports only NFS version 4 referrals. More on NFS version 4 referrals can be found in RFC 3530. FedFS may support other network file system protocols in the future.
Benefit to Fedora
See detailed description. As this is an emerging standard, we want Fedora to be one of the first operating systems to support it.
Chuck Lever also points out that fedfs-utils is part of a larger, ongoing effort to build out storage administration features on Linux file servers. This includes, to name but a few:
- The ability to manage NFS referrals either via FedFS or via a simple command line tool on file servers
- Support for SMB2 in a FedFS framework
- Support for NFSv4.1's fs_locations_info attribute
- Client-side support for NFSv4 migration with transparent state migration
- Support for transparent NFS client access to replicated file sets
Much of the work for this has already been done. Chuck Lever of Oracle has done an implementation of the required userspace tools for this, and a Fedora package of release 0.8.0 has been built. We'll probably also need to do some documentation and/or articles describing how to set up both the client and server for FedFS.
The upstream project website for this is here:
It contains license information, presentation slides, the FedFS LDAP schema, and a project roadmap.
Fedfs is, in many ways, an addition of automount functionality along the line of something that I believe (as the autofs maintainer both upstream and here in Fedora) has been needed for a long time. That is a distributed autofs mount map resource manager and while fedfs isn't quite what I envisioned for autofs the functionality it provides is fairly close. Just how far integration with autofs will go isn't clear yet.
At this stage the fedfs package cotains an autofs program map that is used to provide access to the namespace and that is sufficient to start with. An improvement to autofs that I plan on doing is to add native support to autofs for fedfs in order to provide earier discovery and access to the available fedfs namespaces.
How To Test
(FIXME: Make this less skeletal)
- set up fedfs domain and server(s)
- set up fedfs clients
- test that fedfs referrals work
User Experience
The casual Fedora user won't see any changes with this. This should only change the experience for someone who makes the effort to set up and use FedFS.
There are some kernel patches required which are fairly modest in scope and have been included in the upstream kernel since version 3.2.
There are also some changes needed to nfs-utils (specifically mountd) to allow it to process junctions. The change to nfs-utils required by version 0.8.0 has been done although nfs-utils will need to be rebuilt to recognise that the fedfs-utils plugin is now present.
Additionally, LDAP servers need to have the FedFS LDAP schema installed. The schema is not yet included in Openldap so users will need to manually add the schema which is included in the package fedfs-utils-common and placed in docs directory.
/etc/rpc needs to be updated to include the IANA-assigned fedfs RPC program number which was added in glibc-2.15-12, available since Fedora 17.
Contingency Plan
If this package isn't approved for inclusion, we simply won't ship fedfs-utils.
The package has a fairly comprehensive set of manpages, but we may also need to create some other "How-To" documentation.
Release Notes
The code provided in this package is a technology preview. The intent is to provide a full and supported Linux FedFS client and server implementation based on this code. Programming and user interfaces may change significantly for the next few releases.
The components in this package are used for managing file system referrals in order to create a global network file system namespace. Installable components include:
- An automounter program map to manage the FedFS domain namespace on FedFS-enabled clients.
- A mount command to mount parts of a FedFS domain namespace.
- A plug-in library that allows programs outside of FedFS to resolve junctions on local file systems.
- An ONC RPC service daemon that runs on file servers enabling the management by remote FedFS ADMIN clients of FedFS junctions.
- A tool called "nfsref" to manage local junctions without requiring fedfsd.
- A set of command-line clients that can access fedfsd instances on remote file servers.
- A set of command-line clients that can manage FedFS entries on an LDAP server acting as a FedFS NSDB.
- A tool to manage NSDB connection parameters on the local host.
- An LDIF format schema to enable an LDAP server to support FedFS objects.
For more information refer to the FedFS project page and the FedFS Documentation page.

Anonymous @ on
I am trying to understand the Boundary conditions being used in ADEPT 2.0. Perhaps this is a Naive question.
The example I refer to is the simple AlGaAs-GaAs heterojunction (no illumination) case. I can see that the expression for the electron Quasi Fermi level on the N-AlGaAs side is -4.5+(Va/2) and that the expression for the hole Quasi-Fermi level on the p-GaAs side is -4.5-(Va/2).
It is not clear to me what the boundary conditions are for
a) Electron Quasi Fermi level on the p-GaAs side b) Hole Quasi Fermi level on the n-AlGaAs side
Typically, for a pn diode we fix one end of the Quasi Fermi levels to the equilibrium value (eg: pn diode lab on nanohub). But this seems to not be the case for the ADEPT deck.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Interesting Gmail Storage Algorithm
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet,
On Friday, April 1, Google announced their "Infinity+1" plan for Gmail accounts. The first day, we lucky Gmail account holders gained about 1MB. The second day, the gains appeared to slow down somewhat. We weren't holding our breath, considering the announcement was made on April Fool's Day - and sounded pretty foolish to boot. Here are the details of the Google storage algorithm:
- Gmail is currently rising at 1/1000 MB every 25 seconds
- A 1MB increase takes a little over 6 hours and 56 minutes
- Every day storage increases by 3.456 MB
- By April 1, 2006, Gmail accounts will be up to about 3300MB
- It takes 289 days to increase 1 gigabyte
So is Google really going to just continue to increase storage infinitely? A look at the source code indicates that the madness will end when mailboxes reach 2075 gigs:
That only applies until it reaches 2075 MB. Check the source:
var CP = [
[ 1112331600000, 1025 ],
[ 1112439600000, 2050 ],
[ 1113062400000, 2075 ]
Oh well.

PSP Multiplayer With Just One UMD Game
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Video Games,
Okay, so you want to play a PSP game against a friend or two and you only have one copy of the game. On Sahas Katta's blog, he tells how he and a friend played Twisted Metal multiplayer with only one copy. Basically, it involves starting a multiplayer Ad-Hoc game with an unlimited amount of time. After the game has booted up on a system, you remove the game disc and place it into the next PSP. That next PSP joins the Ad-Hoc game set up by the first, and they are set. You can continue this with as many PSP's as are allowed to play the multiplayer game. There are a few other intricacies to making it work nicely, so check it out. This one is just too cool.

ThermalTake Xray PC Lighter and Cup Holder
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Accessories, Mods / Hacks,
What the heck? Apparently this thing has been around for a while, but it's news to me. Basically, the Thermaltake Xray fits into a 5.25" drive bay, and provides a bit of comfort for chain smoking, beer-swilling computer users. You see, the Xray provides both a beverage tray and a cigarette lighter. The light can be removed, and you can use the port to charge in-car accessories like a cell phone. Now you can finally be the envy of the LAN party - it's just sad that it took this to get you there.

PistolMouse FPS Gun Shaped Gaming Mouse
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Peripherals, Video Games,
For those of you looking to blur the line of fantasy and reality even more, check out the PistolMouse FPS. Basically, this is a gun shaped mouse meant to be used in computer first person shooters. Rather than using your mouse to frag others with a quick left-click, you can now actually pull the trigger to take down your foes. Don't know how comfortable this would be, or how accurate - the manufacturer, MonsterGecko, says it increases accuracy, but that is what they are supposed to say, right? Nonetheless, it costs $39.95 with a 30-day money back guarantee. It works via USB on Windows, Mac, and Linux boxes.

Rio SE510 Forge
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
Rio has dropped a budget priced Forge on us - the SE510. The higher-end Forge, pictured above on the left, is darker in color and has porthole screws. Other than that, they look exactly the same. The new SE510 is a 512 MB flash-based MP3 player, but unlike the Forge, it does not have an integrated FM tuner or SD card slot. The end result - the SE510 is about $25 cheaper than the Forge. It looks like Rio has chosen to continue the odd naming scheme for the budget versions of their audio players.

SyncBoxII: Portable USB Data Copier
Posted by Oscar M. Cantu Categories: Accessories, Handhelds,
Ever wanted to transfer some files from your friend's USB flash drive to yours, but didn't have a computer around? With the SyncBoxII from Macally, you will never have that problem again. The handheld device allows you to transfer files from devices that use USB ports to other USB devices. This is great alternative to Apple's iPod Camera Connector since it's not iPod-specific. Now for the money question: Can it support iPod to iPod (or other hard drive based digital audio players) music transfers? No word yet, but time will tell. The MSRP is set at $49.95, and the web site states the SyncBoxII will be "coming soon".

TrafficGuage Mobile Traffic Map
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Handhelds,
If you live in Seattle (like me) or Los Angeles, you know a thing or two about traffic. I-5 can be a total nightmare during rush hour. TrafficGauge brings a portable device that alerts you to the traffic conditions in realtime. It runs on two AA batteries and lasts for about six months. It doesn't win any points for looks, and I wonder what the benefit it of dropping $50 in addition to the $5 monthly fee on the device when I can just turn on the news at home or on the car radio. The reason I mentioned Seattle and LA earlier is because TrafficGauge only supports these two areas for the time being.

MTV Overdrive Broadband Video Service
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Portable Audio / Video,
MTV has launched a beta version of their new broadband digital entertainment service called MTV Overdrive. Using the service, you are able to download the latest news, music, live performances, short form shows and music videos directly to your PC. All of the media is DRM protected. As the site describes:
The videos on MTV Overdrive are encoded in Microsoft Windows Media 10 format to insure the maximum possible video quality. In order to offer you a broad selection of full-length music videos on-demand and free of charge, MTV Overdrive uses Windows Digital Rights Management (DRM) to protect the videos from unauthorized re-distribution. Unfortunately, Microsoft's Windows Media Player Plug-in for Macintosh does not currently support DRM. When DRM support becomes available for Macintosh, MTV Overdrive will work to support Macintosh.
So, Mac users are going to have to look elsewhere for now. Still, it is always cool to see more services offering free video content. One other negative - the service mus tbe used with Internet Explorer, as Firefox is not compatible.

YaGoohoo!gle Dual Search Engine
Posted by Andru Edwards - Categories: Internet,
Yagoohoo!gle brings you search results from the two most popular search engines on the web. It works nicely if you want to cover all your bases with your searches, although the results are displayed in a split-screen window (buy hey, no ads!). Use it with Firefox to open results in a new tab, and you are all set. Nifty.

I popped down to the Illamasqua counter near me a few weeks ago for reasons I will explain next week for a make over with one of my favourite make up artists – Leena who is a Key Artist for the brand.
One of the items I purchased and can't wait to review because I have so many mixed thoughts about it, is Illamasqua's Skin Base Foundation (£25):
They say:
Inspired by the cult Asian market Beauty Balm creams, Skin Base Foundation is a brand new, refined formula unlike anything on the UK market. Easily blendable, it effortlessly creates a perfect complexion, and like the entire Illamasqua foundation range, is undetectable in a professional HD environment. Suitable for all skin types, it smoothes, softens and conditions your skin whilst providing natural, buildable coverage.
I have been wearing this base every day for the last few weeks!
First off this foundation is reasonably priced I think, compared to other high end end bases.
The bottle is a squeezy one, plastic, nothing fancy but hygienic and compact:
There's a really impressive range of shades that come in different base tones so you can get a good match. I think with so much choice I would go to a counter to get matched with this base because it's quite hard to tell on the site – there are a good handful of hues that I think could've suited me!
In the end I went for shade 11 which is a mixture of yellow and pink and I think it's a brilliant match. People tend to stick me in yellow foundations right away when in fact I am also quite brown and beige! Shade 11 also has a peachiness too it that matches my skin but brightens it too (I am usually a MAC NC30-35).
The foundation has a nice sweety scent to it – I usually hate perfume in bases but I don't mind this one because it fades away quickly.
So, foundation pros:
1. Longevity. This foundation stays put beautifully on my skin and even after a very long day, there's a fair amount of base that comes off when I wash it 14 hours after it was first applied. My skin is quite dry I'm not sure how it would last on oily skin.
2. Covering redness and blemishes. Considering that the base has a gel like texture to it, it covers remarkably well – redness especially which I usually need some extra concealer for.
3. The foundation doesn't bunch up on my skin which many many bases do, and it's super easy to blend in. No streaky finish!
Foundation cons:
1. For me, this base makes my skin looks really even and I'm happy with that for every day BUT, it lacks glow. I do love glowy, radiant finish foundations and on me this base is more of a semi-matte so can look dull.
2. This foundation makes my pores look bigger – perhaps it sits on the surface a little and also clings to any very dry patches I have, although to be fair, most foundations will if used without a good primer.
In terms of breakouts, I have noticed I had some weird white bumps on my face HOWEVER I started using this base and new cream at the same time so I am going to try some swapping to check which product is doing it!
Before & Afters – I am super tired at the moment so small pictures so not to scare you:
Ingredients List:
Kudos to Illamasqua for saying this base is inspired by BB creams but unlike lots of other brands, avoided naming it a 'BB Cream' for the sake of it. I would agree that this is a multi tasker as it works well as a concealer too, and since it dries to a semi matte finish it's almost like powdering too (I didn't like the look of this base WITH powder on top as well, it just looked crusty).
I do like this base a lot, and if you want something that is long lasting with good coverage, that feels nice on this skin Illamasqua's Skin Base is well worth trying. I paid £25 for this – full range is
Have you tried this foundation?

Kozma at the center of 'weird' third inning
Game 7 and the National League championship came apart for Pete Kozma and the Cardinals in the third inning on Monday. And the kid shortstop who replaced the injured Rafael Furcal at the end of August was right in the middle of it. More >
Cards aim to move forward with bulk of team intact
The Cardinals are set to retain almost everyone from an 88-win club that came within one game of playing in the World Series for the fourth time in nine years. More >
Giants getting it done, but not the easy way
If we've learned anything about these Giants, it's that they don't do things the easy way; they do them the weird way. Just as the ball off Hunter Pence's bat took an awkward path to the grass on his bases-clearing double, so too did the Giants take a bizarre path to the Fall Classic. More >
Pence's odd double lifts Giants, confounds Cards
The Joe Kelly pitch was a fastball. The Hunter Pence hit was a curveball. The result was the weirdest broken-bat double you'll ever see, a screwball hit that sliced away from Cardinals shortstop Pete Kozma, emptied the bases and blew Game 7 of the NLCS wide open. More >
As title defense ends, Cards can hold heads high
For the seventh time since 2000, the Cardinals made it to the NLCS. For the third time, that NLCS went to a decisive seventh game. This time, the Cardinals did not make it through, but that does not change the long view. More >
Cards struggle in all facets as NLCS slips away
It was the mirror image of recent postseason experiences for the Cardinals, and that was no fun at all. A team that had gotten used to digging out from deep holes instead fell from great heights in the National League Championship Series. More >
Lohse: Never got a 'chance to settle in' in Game 7
Surely, when Kyle Lohse showed up at Cardinals camp in Jupiter, Fla., in March 2008, he couldn't have foreseen what was to come. Not the highs, not the lows, and certainly not the disappointing ending on Monday night. More >
MLB Notebook: Vogelsong paves way to Game 7
In the history of League Championship Series play, there have been 15 pitchers to have multiple efforts of seven-plus innings pitched and no more than one run allowed in a single series. More >
Winner-take-all Game 7 fits script of wild postseason
Cue up yet another elimination game, this one Monday between the Cardinals and Giants to determine which of them will join the Tigers in the World Series. More >
Three keys for Giants to win Game 7 of NLCS
Five times in franchise history, from New York to the West Coast, the Giants have extended a best-of-seven postseason series to its fullest extent and came away frustrated. They appear poised to end that skid in Monday night's finale of the NLCS, having won twice in a row to extend their streak of consecutive wins in elimination games to five. More >
Did you know? NLCS Game 6: Giants 6, Cards 1
A look at some notable facts and figures from the San Francisco Giants' 6-1 victory over the St. Louis Cardinals in Game 6 of the National League Championship Series at AT&T Park on Sunday night. More >
Scutaro travels west, finds home with Giants
By late July, Marco Scutaro was a luxury to the Rockies, on the National League West skids. General manager Dan O'Dowd saw a chance to save some of the $2 million still due Scutaro, so he packaged $1 million of that obligation with the infielder and sent them both to San Francisco. More >
Belt in the middle of another Giants rally
Brandon Belt's first full season in the Major Leagues has had its share of frustrations, but all of that seemed to be a distant memory Sunday as he sparked a pivotal Giants rally in Sunday's 6-1 win. More >
Sandoval's offense key to forcing Game 7
Pablo Sandoval struggled early in the National League Championship Series, but he has picked it up in the last two games, just when the Giants needed him to step up. More >
Vogey doesn't disappoint adoring fans, teammates
No matter how you look at it, Ryan Vogelsong's incredible saga just keeps getting a little more unbelievable. More >
Having fun, Cain won't be overwhelmed by Game 7
Superlatives and adjectives will be worn out in an attempt to capture the magic of a winner-take-all Game 7, but for Matt Cain, it's all about the simplest, most juvenile emotion: Fun. More >
Rich history of Game 7 gets Cards-Giants addition
A 2012 postseason that has seen more than its share of elimination games will include one more before the World Series begins, with the Giants and Cardinals stretching their best-of-seven National League Championship Series to the limit. More >
Giants playing like a team on a mission
The San Francisco Giants are knocking on the door of the World Series after forcing Game 7 of the NLCS following a stunning NLDS comeback. More >
Scutaro hoping for first Fall Classic appearance
Since the teams involved in this National League Championship Series have claimed the last two World Series titles, it figures that most of the principals have experienced baseball's ultimate showcase in the Fall Classic. One who has not is Marco Scutaro. More >
Rookies Kelly, Rosenthal flourishing on big stage
As traditions go, it's an unusual one but certainly not unwelcome. The St. Louis Cardinals have made a habit of seeing young relief pitchers emerge in the postseason. More >

Good lord, it's December already. How did that happen? That means we've got about a month before CES in Las Vegas. For you new folks, CES is the first major event of the year, though it's definitely more focused on consumer electronics than mobile. But that doesn't mean there won't be more than enough to keep us busy.
We might still see a minor release or two this month, but more than likely we're done with the major phone announcements until 2013.
And now, for a few more quick thoughts on this fine Sunday morning ...
- I'd like to think I know a thing or three about Android. A decent judge of both hardware and software. But while I can bang out 1,000 words on why I think application like Falcon Pro is pretty damn good (though certainly not perfect) to me, reading Romain Guy's breakdown of why hiccups happen is an excellent reminder of just how much work goes into apps to make them as good as they can possibly be. Remember that the next time you bitch about an update taking longer than you'd like. Or the next time you refuse to pony up a buck or two for an app. Whether it's a Twitter app or a clock or something a little more intricate, good devs work hard. [Update: And look at that, Falcon's dev has already updated the app with these recommendations. How's about that?)
- I'm inclined to side with WPCentral's Daniel Rubino, who doesn't believe a single job listing for a Linux expert means Nokia is making an Android phone. Those dots are just too tempting to connect without actually being supported by any real facts. Yes, Android is built on Linux. So's a hell of a lot of other stuff. And Nokia's been bringing its maps app to other platforms. One new twist, though -- that LinkedIn job listing is "no longer active." Try not to speculate too hard over that. [Update: Nokia's Doug Dawson confirms on Twitter that the job listing was for Nokia Maps support, not some Android phone.]
- In case you didn't notice on Tuesday, Google still kinda sucks at selling things. Maybe that's not quite fair, but certainly its retail side of the Google Play store still isn't robust enough to handle the nerd crush of a Nexus launch. Wonder how much of that was because of naturally heavy traffic, but certainly the publicizing of ways to bash the hell out of the webpages even more quickly didn't help matters.
- I noticed after updating my Nexus 7 to Android 4.2 that the new Android keyboard with its swiping input is now set as the default input. And on my Galaxy Nexus, SwiftKey was completely uninstalled. A quick search finds a smattering of such reports. (SwiftKey forums, Reddit, Google+, Twitter) Let's hope that's the result of some sort of weird bug (certainly seems there are enough of those lately) with the addition of the new keyboard in Android 4.2, and not something more sinister. (Remember that SwiftKey is about to launch its new tracing keyboard, SwiftKey Flow.) Google purposefully breaking third-party keyboards in favor of its own? I shudder to think. Anybody seen this sort of things with other third-party keyboards after the update?
- In case you missed it, we're stuffing stockings with Google Play Gift Cards all month long, and each of the 31 winners is in the running for a Nexus 4. Full details here!
See ya'll this week!

You Can't Ignore the Haters (and Complainers)Daniel Randa
You know the old saying, "The customer is always right." Agree or disagree but in the world of email deliverability this is the reality. Here's how it works. People sign up for your emails and then for various reasons end up reporting your email as spam by clicking the junk mail button on their email reader. The top priority for ISPs is keeping spam and other malicious email from reaching their customers' inboxes. Regardless of the reason, from the perspective of the ISP, the complainer (AKA their customer) is always right. And these complaint reports can have a devastating affect on your email reputation and result in deliverability failures.
Your email reputation is based on several factors including the state of your sending infrastructure, email volumes, bounce rates and appearances on blacklists. However, ISPs give far more weight to complaints that other factors. Why? Because their customer is always right. If the customer says your email is spam then your email is spam. You can rage about subscriptions, preferences, easy unsubscribe and all the reasons why your email was permission-based. It won't matter because the customer is always right. The customer owns the inbox and they get to decide what's spam and what's not.
So, what can you do to minimize complaints?
Keeping complaints to a minimum is mostly about sending good email and following best practices like those described in our recent post about open rates.
Still there are few things you can do right away:
- Sign-up for ISP Feedback Loops so you'll know when a customer complains and can immediately suppress that email address. Learn more about Feedback Loops in our Ultimate Guide to Infrastructure.
- Send a welcome or confirmation message immediately upon sign-up. People sign-up for email all the time and then forget about it – make sure your email stays top of mind.
- Make it easy to unsubscribe. Trying to keep people on your list by making it difficult to unsubscribe almost guarantees that you'll get complaints. Why would you want someone on your list who isn't interested in your company or products? It won't improve your results and could create reputation problems.
Learn more about SendGrid's hosted SMTP solutions here – and how we can help you to prevent complaints and manage your email reputation.

amfAR, The Foundation for AIDS Research
July 2006—Addy Chen is a consultant with the International HIV/AIDS Alliance Myanmar, working with men who have sex with men (MSM). In addition to volunteering among people living with HIV/AIDS, he also serves as the organization's representative to the Asia-Pacific Network of People Living With HIV/AIDS (APN+) and is a member of TREAT Asia's Asian Community for AIDS Treatment and Advocacy (ACATA).
Addy Chen.
When I was in my early 20s I worked as a tour guide, but after four or five years I thought it was time to change my career and so I applied to be a flight attendant for Myanmar's local airline. I got the job and I began training to become cabin crew. But all of us who had been selected had to take a mandatory HIV test, which was performed without any pre-test counseling. After I took it, the airline managers called me in and told me that they had checked my test results twice and they showed that I was HIV positive.
So they kicked me out with the excuse that I would not be able to perform my job because it was in customer service. I was really upset. My test result was not kept confidential so everyone in the office learned about my status. At that time I did not know anything about HIV/AIDS. I didn't know anything about my rights, either, so I didn't know how to fight for my rights.
When I found out I was positive, I was really afraid, but I am an MSM and some of my friends knew a lot about HIV. Some were really supportive of me and helped me find a way to face the disease. At first I didn't tell my family, but they found out when I really got sick. Eventually they accepted it and they have been supportive emotionally. So I'm kind of lucky.
Since I was diagnosed I have been very ill at times with various opportunistic infections. When I started taking antiretrovirals [ARVs] I didn't get a CD4-count test and I didn't receive any treatment education about drug side effects or how the drugs work, but my symptoms were very bad so I had to start ARV treatment. After a while, my health got better and I thought taking the drugs wasn't so important any more. So I stopped taking them as regularly as I was supposed to. If I had known as much about the medications as I do now, I would have had really good adherence!
After I was diagnosed with HIV, I went back to my first job as a tour guide, and when I had been there for a while I became friends with a guy from UNOPS [the United Nations Office of Project Services]. He saw that I spoke openly about my status and that I was quite willing to work with HIV-positive people, so he asked that I come to his office and volunteer there. Then my friend said that UNOPS, along with other aid groups such as the International HIV/AIDS Alliance, CARE Myanmar, and the UN Development Program, wanted to establish a network in Myanmar to support people living with HIV/AIDS [PLWA], and I became involved with this group.
The Myanmar country representative for the International HIV Alliance also approached me and I started working with them as an MSM prevention consultant. Now we have the network for PLWA established and we're starting to build our capacity to understand how anti-HIV drugs work, what is happening in the region, and how we can get access to treatment.
The Global Fund pullout is the worst, worst thing for PLWAs in Myanmar. The current situation here is that there are 45,000 needing ARVs right now and only 2,000 have access to them. One thousand of those buy their medications from the private sector and the other half get them free—800 from nongovernmental organizations and about 200 from the government. When the Global Fund came into Myanmar, they had the goal of treating at least 4,500 people by 2009. The program was cut before the medications were ever delivered, so a lot of people are losing their chance to get drugs—it's really bad. Still, humanitarian funding has been promised from Europe. It has not come in yet, but it will hopefully replace part of the Global Fund support.

Chemistry Is A Great Thing
Unfortunately, I have not been able to get to my blog this week until now. But I feel with the win we had last week, I have to write something. I am on cloud 9 right now. Our Dallas Cowboys are finally looking like they care. Like they know they have the pieces in place to win a championship. Yes, you and I have all known this for a few years now, but I really believe it is starting to sink in to them. With that said, what a great game it was last Sunday.
Once again Tony Romo had a great performance going 21/34 for 307 yards 1 touchdown and 1 interception. Even with all the talk about Roy Williams and how his chemistry with Romo was not there yet, in my opinion he had his best game yet catching 5 passes for 75 total yards. Patrick Crayton stepped up and had 2 receptions for 74 yards. Jason Whitten had the biggest catch of the game in the fourth quarter with 2 minutes to go giving Dallas a first down and solidifying the win, but finishing the day with 7 catches for 43 yards. Miles Austin once again made a strong statement as to who the real number one receiver is by catching only one pass but taking it 49 yards for what turned out to be a game winning touchdown. Ogletree, Barber and Choice all combined for a total of 6 catches for 66 total yards. Once again proving that the chemistry is not only there with Roy; but with the whole team.
We did not have our best running game with only 23 rushes for a total of 76 yards and one touchdown (by Tashard Choice) averaging only 3.3 yards per carry and 2 tackles lost for 5 yards. Our 3rd down efficiency was not our best but not our worst going 7/15 at 46%. We finished the day with 61 total plays (including the 4 sacks for 25 yards) averaging 5.9 yards per play for a total of 358 net yards. In my opinion, an all in all a good performance.
Once again our defense stepped up and had an outstanding performance. I wrote an article a few weeks back about our defense and the plan that our head coach Wade Phillips had for them and how he would give his expert opinion on things that needed to be done to improve the defense. Well, it turns out that Wade Phillips might actually know a thing or 2 about defense in the NFL. Although Demarcus Ware did not get a sack in this game, his presence alone made the Eagles think twice about what they wanted to do. He had 3 tackles and assisted on another. Jay Ratliff lead the team with 2 sacks and 5 tackles while Victor Butler had a sack and tackle himself.
Everyone talked about last season how our corners and safety's always got beat deep and if anyone wanted to beat the Cowboys just go deep. Well our secondary has proven to everyone, THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!!!!! Terence Newman was once again a shut down CB that had a total of 4 tackles. On the other side of the field Mike Jenkins stepped up and had 2 tackles and one interception. But the defensive performer of the day was our SS Gerald Sensabaugh with a total of 6 tackles and an interception.
Our defense held the Eagles to 4/12 3rd down attempts keeping it at only 33%. Stopping them on a critical 4th and inches play and taking over on downs. Our defends held them to 3.7 yards per rushing attempt and only 5.2 average yards per offensive play keeping them under 300 total yards of offense on the day. Time of possession was pretty close throughout the game with the Cowboys having the edge at 31:44 to the Eagles 28:16. At the end of the day, the better team won. What do you say we go into Green Bay this week and continue our winning streak and come back home on a high note!

Former Goldman Sachs vice president Fabrice Tourre's new job at the University of Chicago evaporated — and then came back.
The former executive, who was convicted of six counts of securities fraud last summer in a civil suit with the Securities and Exchange Commission, was to have become an honors undergraduate economics teacher at the prestigious school, but the university changed it\'s mind and then reversed itself, according to media reports.
The former bond trader will be allowed to teach after all "as part of his Ph.D. requirements,\" the university announced.
The school had previously stated: "As preparations continue for the spring quarter, Fabrice Tourre will no longer be assigned as an instructor for Honors Elements of Economic Analysis in the College. Instead he will be able to fulfill the teaching requirements for his Ph.D. program through opportunities in his department's graduate-level curriculum."
Tourre, who is a doctoral student at the university, was supposed to teach a class called 'Elements of Economic Analysis' on Thursday afternoons, followed by a discussion on Monday evenings, according to reports.
The charges against Tourre were that he intentionally defrauded investors as part of a sub-prime mortgage investment known as Abacus 2007-AC1 five years ago. The government claimed Tourre helped billionaire John Paulson's hedge fund bet against the investment and ultimately made billions of dollars in profit, while investors lost money.
The SEC wants Tourre to pay more than $1 million in penalties but he wants to pay $65,000. The former Goldman executive has claimed that he did not know the extent of the fraud.
Goldman Sachs settled the case in 2010 for $550 million and did not admit or deny any wrongdoing.
The media coined the nickname "Fabulous Fab" after emails revealed the nickname with which he signed off to others.
Tourre appealed, but he was unable to persuade a New York judge to dismiss his case or grant a new trial.

Here we present supplementary numerical data for the CBI polarization observations reported by J. L. Sievers et al. (preprinted as astro-ph/0509203). If you use these data in a publication, please cite the appropriate papers and also give the URL of this web page and the date of publication (given at the bottom of this page).
The data are in the gzipped tar file cbipol_2.0_final.tar.gz (2.6 Mbyte)
The spectrum is contained in CBIpol_2.0_final.newdat This data file should work as-is with current versions of COSMOMC (Lewis & Bridle, 2002) File format: first line - location of window functions (should be properly set). second line - total bands in each polarization. Order is TT,EE,BB,TB,TE,EB next lines (BAND_SELECTION) - select which bands are to be used in parameter fitting. As mentioned in the paper, we drop the lowest T bin (both in TT and TE). next line: (1 1.00 0.026) - only number of relevance is 0.026, which is the CBI calibration uncertainty in power (1.3% in amplitude) (ignorable line) iliketype - COSMOMC/.newdat format support offset-lognormal approximation to the likelihood (Bond, Jaffe, and Knox 2000). iliketype=2 lets the use of the offset-lognormal approximation be specified for each band individually. We turn it on for TT, EE, and BB, and turn it off for TE. Next is a block for each polarization in the file. This contains the name of the polarization, then one line containing the spectrum for each band power in the polarization. The fields are: 1) Band # 2) Power spectrum (l(l+1)C_l/2pi, in uK^2) 3) and 4) - error bars. 5) noise spectrum, used in the offset-lognormal approximation. 6) and 7) the lower/upper ell range contained in the band 8) the iliketype flag for the band. 1 means use offset-lognormal, 0 means Gaussian. Then a block containing the same-band correlations between band-powers. Ones along the diagonal, with the off-diagonal terms the degree of correlation between bands. Finally, the Fisher matrix for the entire spectrum (all polarizations). Units are in uK^4. This full matrix is used when calculating the likelihood of a spectrum in COSMOMC. There is also a directory "windows" - in it are the band-power window functions. There is one file for each band. Columns are 1) ell 2)-5) W_ell/ell for each polarization. Columns are normalized, so expected C_ell is sum(W_ell,PP')C_ell,PP' over ell and polarizations PP'.

Select Sires Honors Loren Elsass, 2012 SMS Genetic Consultant of the Year
PLAIN CITY, Ohio, May 25, 2012 - Loren Elsass of COBA/Select Sires Inc. was honored as the Select Mating Service™ (SMS™) genetic consultant of the year in front of an audience of his peers at Select Sires' national SMS Consultant Conference held in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, May 6-9.
This national award is presented annually to genetic consultants who exemplify the qualities that make SMS known throughout the world as the premier mating program in the industry to assist dairy producers in developing genetic business plans. The recipient must have years of superior service, a history of high-quality evaluations and the ability to build and maintain successful relationships with dairy producers.
"Loren has been a tremendous team player at COBA/Select Sires. He has a great desire to help dairy farm families succeed and accomplish their goals," said Bernie Heisner, manager of COBA/Select Sires Inc. "He has been a great asset and ambassador for all of Select Sires for almost two decades as an SMS consultant in Ohio, Mexico and wherever you find him visiting with dairy people who want to be successful milking cows. He is very worthy of the honor of Select Sires' SMS Genetic Consultant of the Year."
Elsass began his career with COBA/Select Sires Inc. as an SMS genetic consultant in 1993. The Elsass family has a lifelong history of excellence in the Holstein breed. Loren's parents, Roger and Ethel, began breeding and developing great cow families in Western Ohio and created the Quietcove prefix in 1940. Their three sons, Marvin, Loren and Lynn, continued growing the herd and moved it to the present farm in Wapakoneta in 1968. After service in Vietnam, Loren returned to the farm and began placing greater focus on registered Holsteins. Quietcove Matt Judy resulted from the breeding program and was the first cow ever exhibited at the Ohio State Fair by Quietcove. She won the National Holstein Futurity and Grand Champion in 1972. Since that day, Quietcove has been a regular contender at local, state and national shows and has become a well-known source of elite-pedigreed dairy cattle. Loren is well respected around the world for his cow knowledge and has been invited to judge at World Dairy Expo, the Canadian Royal Winter Fair and numerous international shows.
In 1997, COBA/Select Sires' marketing director for Mexico retired. "While Loren does not speak Spanish, I felt his 'cowman language and abilities' would enhance our efforts in working with Mexican dairy producers," said Heisner. Loren assumed his expanded role on July 1, 1997 and since then has spent 40-60 days a year working in Mexico.
During his 18 years as an SMS consultant within the Select Sires family, Elsass has evaluated over 360,000 cows and provided over 1.3 million corrective sire recommendations. "He has gained the trust and confidence of all he serves. Loren's passion to help his customers develop great cows is a common trait that is shared among Select Sires' SMS genetic consultants," tells Lon Peters, vice president of dairy sire product services and international for Select Sires Inc.
Based in Plain City, Ohio, Select Sires Inc. is North America's largest A.I. organization and is comprised of nine farmer-owned and -controlled cooperatives. As the industry leader, it provides highly fertile semen as well as excellence in service and programs to achieve its basic objective of supplying dairy and beef producers with North America's best genetics at a reasonable price.™Select Mating Service and SMS are trademarks of Select Sires Inc.

01.29.13: The CCRI Lady Knights basketball team shared their knowledge and expertise with the St. Margaret Catholic Athletic League girls' basketball team on Wednesday January 16th. It was a homecoming for CCRI Lady Knights' Head Coach Kate Lynch who had played for the team 12 years ago.
The Lady Knights had were just coming off a very important 75-73 overtime victory over the defending National Champion Mustangs of Monroe College and took time out of their busy class, practice and work schedules to pass along their tutelage to the young hoopsters of St. Margaret. Coach Lynch commented about giving back to the team of her youth: "This is why I got into coaching, to give back. It is easy to rest on your laurels and just be happy with a good season that we are having. However, when the opportunity arose to be able to come back here to St. Margaret with the team we leaped at the chance. I also knew that our young ladies like to share their experiences and give back, which as a coach makes me proud. That was me a few years ago, so to give back is important to me, as I told Coach Rosa, as much as we may have helped you today, your players helped ours to become better people in the process as well. It is always better to give than receive."
It took a while for the youngsters from St. Margaret to warm up to the Lady Knights as they may have been a little intimidated as they have watched some of the players play in games and probably did not believe that they had this opportunity, CCRI Co-Captain Captain Jahira Smith (Brooklyn, NY) commented "What I will remember most is different they were from the beginning of the day to the end. At first, they were really shy and quiet but by the end they were really getting into it, learning and having fun, as I did." Smith added "I love giving back to young players, teaching them what I know. I didn't really have role models like that when I was younger, teaching me the correct way to dribble and other advanced skills. So for me to be able to give back is important and makes me feel good, and to see the smiles on their faces made it all of their faced made it worthwhile"
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

According to the Office of National Statistics prostate cancer is the most common cancer for men, accounting for 26% of all cancer cases - but new research shows screening could help reduce deaths from the disease.
A major study has found screening men for prostate cancer could reduce deaths from the disease by a fifth despite doubts about the diagnostic test used.
The positive effect of screening increased over time, the research involving more than 162,000 men showed.
Over a period of nine years, screening reduced the number of men dying from prostate cancer by 15%, increasing to 22% after 11 years.
During the whole 13-year follow-up period, the risk of death was 21% lower in men who were screened than in those who were not.
Screening for prostate cancer is controversial because the initial diagnostic test patients have, to measure blood levels of the biomarker prostate specific antigen (PSA), is so unreliable.
Higher than normal PSA readings can be obtained from healthy men, and low readings from individuals with cancer. For this reason, routine screening for prostate cancer is not carried out in the UK.
The European Randomised study of Screening for Prostate Cancer (ERSPC) recruited men aged 50 to 74 from eight European countries - Belgium, Finland, France, Italy, the Netherlands, Spain, Sweden and Switzerland.
Even though the findings demonstrated that screening reduced deaths, the authors said it was still too soon to introduce population-wide screening.
Lead researcher Professor Fritz Schroder, from Erasmus University Medical Centre in the Netherlands, said: "PSA screening delivers a substantial reduction in prostate cancer deaths, similar or greater than that reported in screening for breast cancer.
"However, over-diagnosis occurs in roughly 40% of cases detected by screening resulting in a high risk of over-treatment and common side-effects such as incontinence and impotence."
"The time for population-based screening has not arrived. Further research is urgently needed on ways to reduce over-diagnosis preferably by avoiding unnecessary biopsy procedures, and reducing the very large number of men who must be screened, biopsied, and treated to help only a few patients."
Prostate Cancer: How To Spot The Symptoms

Pancreatic Cancer Survival Rates Haven't Improved In Four Decades, Warn Experts
The findings, published in The Lancet medical journal, prompted a similar reaction from Prostate Cancer UK.
Dr Iain Frame, the charity's director of research, said: "Our ability to identify those most at risk of aggressive prostate cancer through a national screening programme is a topic high on most people's agendas.
"These results are no great surprise and highlight yet again the urgent need for a test which can distinguish between dangerous cancers that could go on to kill and those which may never cause any harm.
"Without a reliable test, the introduction of a screening programme could mean an enormous rate of over-diagnosis and therefore over treatment of potentially harmless cancers - outweighing any benefits that a screening programme might bring.
"Getting an accurate diagnostic test that can be delivered relatively cheaply and simply could mean that the UK can start thinking about the introduction of a national screening programme and our research is working towards that.
"However, in the meantime, men most at risk of prostate cancer - black men, men over 50 and men with a family history of the disease - should speak to their GP about their risk and whether the PSA test is right for them."
Advanced types of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans may offer a way of selectively diagnosing aggressive prostate cancers, said Prof Schroder.

lane shield
On the highway, with more congested (but not traffic jam) hours with lots of cars, a lane shield is the car hovering next to you while you are trying to get into their lane. Sometimes this is even intentional by the driver because they feel you may be trying to cut them off. Usually they will tailgate the vehicle in front of them so that you have to brake hard or speed up infront of them both to get into their lane.
I missed my exit because of that stupid lane shield in the pick up truck.

Consider a semi-direct product $\mathbb{Z}^2\rtimes_A\mathbb{Z}$, where $A\in SL_2(\mathbb{Z})$ and $|Tr(A)|>2$. It is clear that it is isomorphic to a lattice in the 3-dimensional solvable Lie group SOL. To what extent do these examples exhaust lattices in SOL? (i.e., up to a suitable equivalence relation, is every lattice in SOL of this form?)
The question comes from a desire to understand better the Eskin-Fisher-Whyte result on quasi-isometric rigidity of SOL: every finitely generated group quasi-isometric to SOL is virtually a lattice in SOL.

rachelsegal needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 134 designs submitted by 31 freelance designers.
Stirling Hill Farm
My name is Julie Watchorn and I am a professional horse rider. The type of riding that I do is called Dressage, which you can read more about here:
I am looking for a logo to use on my new website. You can see what our current logo looks like here:
Here is what I like about my current logo:
-The colors (red/black/white)
Here is what I don't like about my current logo:
-It's boring
-Has nothing to do with horses
-There is no visual symbol with it (horse, saddle, anything)
I am currently training and competing for a spot on the Canadian Equestrian Team – so it is important to me that the logo evokes Canadian patriotism as well. Incorporating a Canadian flag or maple leaf would be a nice touch.
Here are some examples of other riders in Canada with logos that I like:
http://www.ociocaballo.com/actualid…at_001.gif (not Canadian, but I love that it is an interesting new take on your typical horse-related logo design)
Potential students, sponsors, and media interested in me as a competitor/trainer or the farm. The site is going to be redesigned with a more professional, well-laid out navigation in mind. It is important that the brand not be too childish or too stoic.
The logo represents Stirling Hill Farm (my homebase) but is also a visual representation of me as a professional athlete.
The logo will be used for the website, outerwear, banners and in other offline promotional materials. It is important that the colors and elements will stand out in all mediums. We will need the source file (.psd, .ai, or .eps) and would like to see how the logo looks on both a white and black background in the mock-ups.
The design shouldn't be too trendy or necessarily employ certain "Web 2.0-y" techniques like gradiants. I would like to use this logo for a long time!
For typography, I would prefer something that is clear, easy to read – not too intricate or overly stylized. Cursive seems to be used a lot in these types of logos, but I'm not necessarily sold on this path for my own brand.
Please no generic, predictable horse clip art. I would really like to see something more creative than that!

The Trades as Practiced in the Homeland: Part I
By Alfred Opp, Vancouver , British Columbia
Edited by Connie Dahlke, Walla Walla, Washington
Von der Stirne heiss From the forehead hot
Rinnen muss der Schweiss The sweat must run;
Soll das Werk den Meister loben So shall your work the Master praise -
Doch der Segen Kommt von oben. From heaven the blessing will descend.
The first settlers in Teplitz were mainly farmers, with a few tradesmen. It was not unusual that people held dual positions: farming and a trade or vice versa. Thirty years after the founding of Teplitz, statistics from 1847 show that Teplitz had about 70 farmers and 30 tradesmen. The trade-occupations included weavers, shoemakers, blacksmiths, carpenters, masons, millers, coopers, wagoners, tailors and butchers. The skills of these tradesmen were essential for the building of decent homes and producing the tools and equipment needed to move forward. These tradesmen passed on their knowledge and skills generation to generation. From the beginning of Teplitz until 1940 all trades were practiced withonly manual labor – there was no power equipment available. Only minor changes occurred in available materials and techniques as time went on. In this piece I will discuss various items that pertained to how the trades functioned in Teplitz: the shops, tools used, products made, and practices in general.
Farming remained the main activity to support life. But over time, the land was divided by the inheritance mode which led to less land and less income for most families. Some families owned no land at all. The trades became a popular way for people to support their life and existence. From the beginning of Teplitz, villagers placed a high priority on improving their lives. They wanted and needed progress! The pioneers worked hard to tame the wild land. Housing improved and living conditions progressed at a steady pace. As soon as people had achieved the fundamentals needed for a decent life, they began thinking about obtaining objects that would contribute to a better, more comfortable standard of living. The tradesmen who supplied such items got a lift.
The Blacksmith Shop
My grandpa Simon Zacher owned a blacksmith shop. While some shops looked like a black hole, his was bright and had windows. But to the end we did not have electricity or power motors of any kind. Stepping into grandpa's shop, on the right was a drill press with a big wheel that was turned by hand. Further to the right were the anvil and the hearth with a raised water bath. A bellows forced air into the hearth to provide a hot fire to heat the irons for forging. Along the back wall of the shop was a long workbench with vices and tools that had a variety of uses. Suspended from the ceiling was the chain that held the iron stock pieces as they were forged into axles for wagons. The bellows was activated by a handle that the smithy could push up and down to force air into the hearth. Outside the shop was a rig to press rims onto the wagon wheels. Every nut and bolt needed in the trades was made from scratch in the blacksmith shops. The sleeves needed to fit an axle were made in these shops as well. At times, Grandpa purchased wooden parts for wagons and then sold them. At other times he had jobs where he built and completed entire wagons. Because the trade work was so competitive, only the ones who worked hardest had any chance to stay in the trade and succeed. But especially for wheelwrights who made the frames for wagon wheels, success came at a price. Many overworked in unhealthy conditions and became ill. Many died from tuberculolsis.
Wagoners and Wheelwrights
My dad owned a wagon-making shop that made all the wood pieces needed for a wagon. The trade had been passed down from his forefathers and this earned the name "Wagoner Opp" for the family. This was also a very competitive trade and hard work was required to make it financially. My dad's shop was well-lit and bright, and positioned next to the winter kitchen of our house. Going into the shop, to the right was the lathe.We had no power source to activate the equipment – everything had to be run by human power. Along that wall to the right was a big wheel with a handle and a strap on it to push and pull to activate the wheel. The big wheel transmitted turning power to a pulley on the lathe via a ropebelt. This lathe was mainly used to make hubs for the wagon wheels. All along the other walls of the shop were work benches with woodworking tools. As in all the shops, there was no light from any community utility source. These shops operated from dawn to dusk.
In the very beginning, our ancestors only had available the two-wheeled wooden-axle cart of the Moldavians. Our ancestors had seen better wagon sin Germany and set about to make improvements. Over the years, Teplitz developed a light-weight iron-axle wagon suitable to handle the varietyof jobs needed to be done by the colonists. From the very beginning, our trade people worked their way up the ladder of success, making wheelbarrows, pitchforks, wooden harrows and rakes, to mention some of their products.
Until my dad was forced to retire in 1936 because of illness, he sliced his logs into boards with a long-saw. The log was placed with one end on the workbench and the other on a stand. One man on top of the log and one lying down underneath worked the saw to cut the log into lumber. All wood pieces then had to be shaped from the rough wood, first with a shave ax and then the finer details were finished with a pull-knife. Spokes got their shape with a pull-knife and a plane. All drilling was done with a hand-drill. Dad sharpened all of his own tools using a sandstone grinder that was submerged halfway into water. To save time, many men had their wives turn the grinder while they sharpened the tools. Mother said that Dad called on her often to hold a work piece that he was shaping. Hubs and spokes, made out of wood, had to be completely dry before assembly to avoid splitting. For that reason we had our bake oven in the barn. When Mother baked bread, she gave the fire extra attention so that it could be used for drying wood after the bread was out of the oven. We did not have carpenters that only built buildings – all carpentry work was done by the wheel wrights. Dad sold wood scraps and shavings generated by the shop work, and gave the money to Mom.
Alfred Opp is the author of "Pawns on the World Stage" - the memoirs of his childhood in Teplitz, Bessarabia and the experiences of his family in war-torn Europe (Poland during 1941-1945 before they fled to East Germany in 1945, then the reconstruction of West Germany 1945-1955) - available from the NDSU website.
