sort of kidding.
Well, let's see how the D can do now. They are sure enough in a hole thanx to ST.
should've done the onside
Why keep blitzing when it's not working??????
Oh well, doesn't matter–absolutely out played & out coached.
if anyone read these comments you would have noticed that i said mistakes would be the key and that we would lose-sometimes i hate to be right all the time
McCarthy is a good coach, but a turrble game manager. Just terrible. Four 3 point losses tells all there is to know about that.
yeah no super bowl with him as coach- i said that before and im always right.
Can we fire Slocum now?
So many mistakes 😦
I think we can win it all with McCarthy. But he needs to entrust the gameplan and in-game decisions to someone else. He just doesn't get it.
No question Bucky, 4 3pt losses is all on the coach. 12 points = 4 losses is really bad play selection. He does not lnow how to finish.

Facebook, I hereby grant to you an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to use the following content: "Go jump in a lake."
The past few days people have been talking about how scandalous it is that Facebook changed its terms of service to grab up a very broad license in content its users upload. I'm sure that Facebook is counting on this controversy to go wherever it is that memes go to die, to be forgotten just like most controversies-du-semaine. It probably will, but as the sentiment finds itself already on the decline, I'll comment.
Here's what the offending section of the Facebook terms of service now says, in relevant part:
You hereby grant Facebook an irrevocable, perpetual, non-exclusive, transferable, fully paid, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to (a) use, copy, publish, stream, store, retain, publicly perform or display, transmit, scan, reformat, modify, edit, frame, translate, excerpt, adapt, create derivative works and distribute (through multiple tiers), any User Content you (i) Post on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof subject only to your privacy settings or (ii) enable a user to Post, including by offering a Share Link on your website and (b) to use your name, likeness and image for any purpose, including commercial or advertising, each of (a) and (b) on or in connection with the Facebook Service or the promotion thereof. You represent and warrant that you have all rights and permissions to grant the foregoing licenses.
I was pretty peeved when I learned that Facebook had modified its terms to get a broader license. But I was even more peeved when I read founder Mark Zuckerburg's blog post from yesterday which tried to justify the changes. Of course Facebook must make sure it has the rights it needs in order to "show [users' content and information] to the other people they've asked [it] to share it with." But isn't the right to share that content inherent in the very "asking"? Why be grabby?
Facebook is being content greedy. It's commandeering more than it needs to run the service. An example Zuckerburg uses in the post concerns the text of a messages sent between friends. If one user deactivates his or her account, a copy of each message will still exist in the other friend's inbox. Fine. I see the point. So get a license to store and display a copy of private messages. There's no problem with that.
The bigger rub comes with photos and video users upload. Why does Facebook need a perpetual license for that? I don't see any reason, whether from a technological or other practical standpoint, why photos and video could not or should not be deleted — and the license to Facebook terminated — when a user deactivates his or her account. YouTube doesn't demand a license for content after it has been taken down by a user.
Zuckerburg's post contains the following interesting statement: "In reality, we wouldn't share your information in a way you wouldn't want." Okay Mark, let's talk about reality. I don't want you using information about me, like my name, for commercial purposes. That's reality. Why then do you demand to have the right to use my name and other information for commercial purposes? Are you suggesting that the terms of service as now written don't reflect reality? I know they were written by lawyers, but surely your legal counsel can't be that removed from the real world.
I like Facebook, and through it I have reconnected with old friends and made some new ones. But those connections are what's important, not the intermediary. I may delete my photos off of there but I'll probably keep using it, at least for now. But I'll likely post less content. Shame on you, Facebook, and shame on you Mark Zuckerburg, for putting up a post just filled with platitudes, all while ignoring the fact there's no reason for your new overreaching. That kind of stunt will invigorate those who want an alternative to Facebook, and will accellerate the process of making Facebook tomorrow's Friendster.

Following the strange case of the CMI's non-award winning film documented elsewhere on this board, Ray Bananaman Comfort has been boasting on Twitter that his "Atheist Delusion" movie has won "Best Science Film Award" at the International Christian Film Festival.
Not surprisingly............there appears to be no such category appearing on the festival website, and Ray's film doesn't get a mention in the award winners either.
Maybe that's because Ray's prize is a delusion too.

How to donate
Want to participate in Colorado Gives Day? You have 24 hours on Tuesday to visit ColoradoGives.Org, find the nonprofit(s) you believe are deserving of your money and then make a donation.
Last December, a special fundraising effort was just the push that the Boulder Jewish Community Center needed to complete a campaign to construct a new building.
In one day, the community center raised more than $34,600 — without having to organize a fundraiser, run a website or wrestle with publicity. And the center raised an additional $20,000 throughout the month for its Kids Campaign.
The key: a relatively new statewide fundraising initiative called Colorado Gives Day.
Last year was the first time the Jewish center participated, but officials didn't hesitate to sign up again this year. The hope this year is that Colorado Gives Day helps raise critical funds to support day-to-day operations as the facility and programming expands, according to officials.
Colorado Gives Day, scheduled for Tuesday this year, is a website begun in 2010 to make donating to nonprofits as easy as possible.
Simply log on to ColoradoGives.Org and search through almost 1,450 pre-screened, established nonprofits to pick the ones you want to support. Search by zip code (34 different charities come up under 80301), by county (691 in Boulder County) or by cause (animals, arts, environment, science). Then read the organization's profile — including its financials, programs, accomplishments and info about the board of directors — and make an educated decision.
The website, overseen by the Community First Foundation, raised $8.4 million in its first year, according to Dana Rinderknecht, director of Online Giving. Donations have steadily increased every year, hitting $15.4 million last year.
"In 24 hours," Rinderknecht says. "That's crazy to me."
The average donor gives to three to five different nonprofits, she says, adding that one donor gave to 37 different agencies last year. And 91 percent of nonprofits gained at least one new donor from Colorado Gives Day.
"New donors are hard to find, and that means donors are out there checking out the nonprofits online," Rinderknecht says.
Last year, she says, 31,000 Coloradans participated and made more than 69,000 donations.
Boulder was all over it, with residents donating $1.6 million to charities across the state.
Statewide donors contributed $1.3 million to Boulder's charities alone, a 42 percent spike over the previous year, Rinderknecht says.
It's no wonder The Dairy Center for the Arts decided to get involved with Colorado Gives Day this year.
In its first year, The Dairy is opening its doors from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to give tours of the facility to people who are interested in donating, says Dairy director Bill Obermeier.
"It's really an opportunity for us to talk to people face to face and explain all the things that happen here. The Dairy is kind of a hidden gem for many people," he says. "We have more than 200,000 arts experiences here per year, and many people don't realize that."
Although Colorado Gives Day is traditionally an online-only initiative, Obermeier says he thought it would be nice to provide a unique, personal touch.
"Because that's what The Dairy is all about," he says.

Research, Discovery and Innovation
The University of Arkansas is classified among the research universities with the highest level of research, measured by number of doctoral degrees, research expenditures and scholarly productivity, according to the Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching. The Carnegie Foundation recognizes what we already know: We like exploring, discovery and creativity. This research and creative work is fundamental to moving the university into the top 50 ranking of public research universities in America.
Interdisciplinary Research Strengths
骚姑娘视频We've identified six broad research strengths that stretch across multiple colleges and schools of the university. They don't cover everything we do, but they suggest how much we embrace interdisciplinary work.
- Health – We explore solutions to cure chronic diseases, deliver health care more efficiently and create clearer policies for public health.
- Nanotechnology — Our researchers and graduate students create nano materials with real-world applications, from atomic-level lubricants to microscopic drug-delivery systems to electrical circuitry at the scale of one billionth.
- Energy and Environment – We focus on the human and planetary scale by developing new technologies that redefine the power grid, photovoltaics, biomass and environmental policy. University researchers direct their efforts toward reducing energy consumption and conserving the environment.
- Art, Architecture and Humanities – Our creative writing, history and architectural design programs rank among the best in the nation. The university's interdisciplinary approach combines art and humanity to produce a fuller picture of the world.
- Food Safety – We study the entire food-safety cycle from the organic production of crops to the development of nutritional blends of food. Arkansas is an agricultural state and policies developed here have a far-reaching effect on the residents of our state and across the country.
- Supply Chain, Retail and Transportation – Our research into distribution, logistics and multi-modal transportation isn't theoretical. We see the business impact firsthand with the world's largest retailer Walmart, international meat and poultry leader Tyson Foods and trucking giant J.B. Hunt Transportation all headquartered in the area.
Changing the World
- Our focus on alternative energy sources led to the development of more efficient solar cells. This effort enabled students and recent graduates to start small companies dedicated to developing better parts for the solar-power industry. Other researchers focus their efforts on developing a more efficient and reliable power grid, as well as batteries for electric cars.
- Physics and engineering researchers affiliated with the Institute for Nanoscience and Engineering lead the development of new and improved biosensors and superior materials – such as Teflon – for manufacturing.
- Each year, sociologist Kevin Fitzpatrick and his students conduct an inventory of the homeless population in Northwest Arkansas, part of his ongoing research into the lives of poor and homeless people in the South. Foundations and service providers nationwide use his books, developing partnerships and coordinating projects through his work.
- Exercise science researchers investigate areas of human performance that affect our understanding of dehydration, heat exhaustion, concussions and muscle regeneration.
- Dave Fredrick was the only classicist at the 2008 game developers conference. Today, he uses advanced gaming technology to reconstruct whole sections of Pompeii in an interactive virtual world. Students work along with him in his computer lab in the Center for Advanced Spatial Technologies.
The Office of works to enhance the university research enterprise. The assists with finding funding, submitting proposals and managing awards. The helps researchers comply with federal and state regulations as well as University policies.
Centers for Research and Outreach
More than 50 centers骚姑娘视频 at the university provide special programs of research on campus.
Arkansas Research and Technology Park

Suns get 1st win over Mavericks in 9 tries
Jared Dudley scored 12 of his 18 points in a third-quarter comeback and Phoenix held on to beat Dallas 96-94 on, the Suns' first victory over the Mavericks in nine tries, four this season.
Jared Dudley scored 12 of his 18 points in a third-quarter comeback and Phoenix held on to beat Dallas 96-94 on, the Suns' first victory over the Mavericks in nine tries, four this season.
"This is definitely big for us," Dudley said. "We've struggled against this more than any other team, especially at home."
Dallas blew out the Suns in Phoenix 122-99 on Jan. 30.
Grant Hill scored 10 of his 15 points in the second half for Phoenix, but missed two free throws with 15.4 seconds left. Dallas had two chances after that, but Rodrigue Beaubois missed a driving layup, then couldn't hit an open 18-foot jumper at the buzzer.
"You are not always going to get your star players the shot at the end because they attract so much attention," Mavericks coach Rick Carlisle said, explaining the last play. "That is one of the reasons Rodrigue got so wide open."
One player who wondered why he wasn't in the game at the end was sharpshooter Jason Terry.
"I can't check myself in and out of the game," he said. "You got to ask the person who didn't have me in the game. Ask him his thoughts on why I wasn't in the game. What I think doesn't matter."
Asked why Terry wasn't in the game Carlisle simply said "coach's decision."
Marcin Gortat added 16 points and 12 rebounds as the Suns won their fourth straight home game, their longest streak in nearly two years. Steve Nash had 11 points and 11 assists.
Vince Carter and Dirk Nowitzki had 18 points apiece for Dallas in the Mavericks' fifth road loss in a row.
Phoenix, coming off a loss at Oklahoma City the previous night, outscored the Mavericks 31-8 over a stretch late in the third quarter and early in the fourth, erasing a 12-point deficit to go up by 11.
"We got the pace of the game up where we wanted it," Suns coach Alvin Gentry said. "Once again we came up with stops, which is really important to run off misses as opposed to taking the ball and running off makes. We had the game at the tempo where we wanted it and we were able to score."
Nash said the game was crucial as the Suns try to climb into contention for a playoff berth.
"We couldn't lose both of these (Oklahoma City and Dallas) and stay in the playoff picture," he said. "It's an early crunch time for us. We've got to keep crawling back to that eight-nine-ten spots and try to give ourselves a chance to sneak in there."
The Suns had an 18-4 outburst over the final 41/2 minutes of the third quarter to take a 78-76 lead entering the fourth. Phoenix added to the onslaught with a 13-4 run to start the final quarter. Sebastian Telfair made a 3-pointer, then Shannon Brown's thunderous dunk on a rebound put the Suns up 90-80. Hakim Warrick capped the outburst by making one of two free throws.
But the Suns failed to score in the final 2:46 after Warrick made one of two free throws to put Phoenix ahead 96-87.
Jason Kidd sank his third 3-pointer and Nowitzki's 14-footer cut the lead to 96-92 with 1:01 to play. Gortat scored on a layup but was called for an offensive foul. That led to Nowitzki's inside basket that cut the lead to 96-94 with 25 seconds left. Hill was fouled, but missed both free throws and Dallas called a timeout with 14.3 seconds to go.
Beaubois drove the lane but his shot in traffic was off the mark. The ball was knocked out of bounds, and after referees reviewed the replay, the ball was awarded to Dallas with 2.5 seconds left. Beaubois then misfired from 18 feet and Phoenix escaped with its sixth win in eight games.
"This was just a mental breakdown by our team," Carter said.
Dallas led 72-60 after Lamar Odom's 3-pointer with 4:43 left in the third quarter and was up 74-63 on his dunk with 3:59 to go. The Suns scored the next 11 to tie it 74-74 on Dudley's 20-footer with 1:34 left. Nowitzki's two free throws put Dallas back on top 76-74, but Nash made a 16-footer, then Dudley scored inside with 29.8 seconds left to give Phoenix the lead.
The Suns shot 74 percent in the third quarter (14 of 19).
Carter scored 11 in a 4 1-2 minute span late in the second quarter as the Mavericks took a 53-44 lead at the break. But he had only five points in the second half.

Carolina Court Administration
South Carolina Supreme Court
Columbia, South Carolina
and Municipal Judges
|Robert L. McCurdy, Assistant Director
|Statutory provisions for the distribution of revenue generated by the magistrate courts and municipal courts
June 30, 2011
This past legislative term there was no significant new legislation passed that will impact the collection, distribution and reporting of court generated revenues. However, there were several temporary provisos in the 2011-2012 General Appropriations Act that have been repeated verbatim in previous General Appropriations Acts and are repeated again verbatim in the 2011 - 2012 General Appropriations Act. There was also one proviso that has been repeated verbatim in previous Appropriations Acts and has been repeated again with technical changes. Again, these provisos create no changes in the fees and assessments scheme from last year.
The entire fees and assessments memorandum for fiscal year 2011 - 2012 will not be distributed in hard copy, but is available on the Judicial Department website at www.sccourts.org under "Court News." You may wish to download and print the memoranda for your reference.
1. Effective July 1, 2011, Section 90.5 of the Temporary Provisions of the 2011 - 2012 General Appropriations Act requires that, in addition to all other assessments and surcharges, a $5.00 surcharge to fund training at the South Carolina Criminal Justice Academy is also levied on all fines, forfeitures, escheatments, or other monetary penalties imposed in the General Sessions Court or in magistrate or municipal court for misdemeanor traffic offenses or for non-traffic violations. No portion of the surcharge may be waived, reduced, or suspended.
2. Effective July 1, 2011, Section 76.10 of the Temporary Provisions of the 2011 - 2012 General Appropriations Act provides that if a municipality fails to submit the audited financial requirements required under § 14-1-208 to the State Treasurer within 13 months of the end of their fiscal year, the State Treasurer must withhold all State payments to that municipality until the required audited financial statement is received.
If the State Treasurer receives an audit report from either a county or a municipality that contains a "significant finding" related to court fine reports or remittances to the State Treasurer's Office, the requirements of proviso 89.65 shall be followed if an amount due is specified, otherwise the State Treasurer shall withhold 25% of all state payments to the county or municipality until the estimated deficiency has been satisfied.
If a county or municipality is more than 90 days delinquent remitting court fines, the State Treasurer shall withhold 25% of state funding for that county or municipality until all monthly reports are current.
After 90 days, any funds held by the State Treasurer's Office will be made available to the State Auditor to conduct an audit of the entity for the purpose of determining an amount due to the State Treasurer's Office, if any.
3. Effective July 1, 2011, Section 89.61 authorizes the State Office of Victim Assistance to conduct an audit on any county treasurer, municipal treasurer, county clerk of court, magistrate, or municipal court that the State Auditor has determined has not properly allocated revenue generated from court fines, fines, and assessments to the crime victim funds or has not properly expended crime victim funds pursuant to State law. This proviso was amended from the version in last year's Appropriations Act. I provide below the entire proviso which indicates by cross through those items deleted from the previous proviso and indicates by italics and underline those items added from the previous proviso.
89.61. (GP: Assessment Audit / Crime Victim Funds) If the State Auditor finds that any county treasurer, municipal treasurer, county clerk of court, magistrate, or municipal court has not properly allocated revenue generated from court fines, fines, and assessments to the crime victim funds or has not properly expended crime victim funds, pursuant to Sections 14-1-206(B)(D), 14-1-207(B)(D), 14-1-208(B)(D), and 14-1-211(B) of the 1976 Code, the State Auditor shall notify the State Office of Victim Assistance. The State Office of Victim Assistance is authorized to conduct an audit which shall include both a programmatic reviews on review and financial audit of any entity or non‑profit organization receiving victim assistance funding based on the referrals from the State Auditor or complaints of a specific nature received by the State Office of Victim Assistance to ensure that crime victim funds are expended in accordance with the law. Guidelines for the expenditure of these funds shall be developed by the Victim Services Coordinating Council. The Victim Services Coordinating Council shall develop these guidelines to ensure any expenditure which meets the parameters of Title 16, Article 15 is an allowable expenditure. Any local entity or non-profit organization who that receives funding from victim assistance revenue generated from crime victim funds is required to submit their budget for the expenditure of these funds to the State Office of Victim Assistance within thirty days of the budget being approved by the local budget's approval by the governing entity body of the entity or non-profit organization. Failure to comply with this provision shall cause the State Office of Victim Assistance to initiate a programmatic review and a financial audit of the entity's or non-profit organization's expenditures of victim assistance funds. Additionally, the State Office of Victim Assistance will place the name of the non-compliant entity or non-profit organization on their website where it shall remain until such time as they are in compliance with the terms of this proviso. In addition, any Any entity or non-profit organization receiving victim assistance funding must cooperate and provide expenditure/program data requested by the State Office of Victim Assistance. If the State Office of Victim Assistance finds an error, the entity or non-profit organization has ninety days to rectify the error. An error constitutes an entity or non‑profit organization spending victim assistance funding on unauthorized items as determined by the State Office of Victims Assistance. If the entity or non-profit organization fails to cooperate with the programmatic review and financial audit or to rectify the error within ninety days, the State Office of Victim Assistance shall assess and collect a penalty of in the amount of the unauthorized expenditure plus $1,500 against the entity or non-profit organization for improper expenditures in a fiscal year. This penalty plus $1,500 must be paid within thirty days of the notification by the State Office of Victim Assistance to the entity or non-profit organization that they are in non-compliance with the provisions of this proviso. All penalties received by the State Office of Victim Assistance shall be credited to the General Fund of the State. If the penalty is not received by the State Office of Victim Assistance within ninety thirty days of the notification, the political subdivision will deduct the amount of the penalty from the entity or non-profit organization's subsequent fiscal year appropriation.
Copies of any of the legislation referenced above may be obtained by visiting the Legislative website at http://www.scstatehouse.gov.
The enclosed memorandum has been updated to reflect these amendments and discusses these changes in more detail. This memorandum supersedes prior memoranda from Court Administration on the collection and distribution of court generated revenue. It attempts to outline and explain the statutory procedures for collecting and distributing revenues in the circuit, family, magistrate, and municipal courts as well as the register of deeds. Examples of several of the distributions covered in the text of the memorandum appear in the attachments.
The actual distribution of revenue generated by the circuit, family, and magistrate courts is handled by the county treasurer in most cases. City treasurers disburse monies generated by the municipal courts. The treasurers are required to remit the funds to the State Treasurer monthly on such forms and in such manner as is required by him. The county treasurer can determine which funds should be transmitted to the State Treasurer by referring to the magistrates' remittance form which is included as "Attachment E." Since all counties are now on the SC Judicial Department's Case Management System (CMS), you may find that Attachment E is no longer necessary as CMS has a comparable document. The city treasurer can determine which funds should be transmitted to the State Treasurer by referring to the municipal courts' remittance form which is included as "Attachment F." Again, for those cities that are on CMS, Attachment F may be unnecessary. Also, see "Attachment K" for a schedule of civil filing fees collected in magistrate's court. Attachment L" includes a list of approved expenditures for victims' funds. Also, examples of specific fines and applicable assessments/surcharges are included as "Attachment M." A list of State parking laws exempt from assessments can be found at "Attachment N" of the enclosed memorandum. The recommended roadside bond list, which contains numerous crimes and offenses and applicable assessments, is found at "Attachment P." Finally, "Attachment O" contains the judge's total calculator.
In this discussion of the distribution of funds, the general rule for each court is stated and followed by an explanation of the statutory exceptions for distribution. The outline which precedes the memorandum summarizes its contents. Please note in the memorandum specific time guidelines pertaining to the transmittal of these revenues. Strict, prompt adherence to the reporting guidelines is required.
Please provide copies of this memorandum to all members of your staff whose duties relate to the collection or distribution of court revenues. If you or your staff has any questions concerning the collection or distribution of revenue, do not hesitate to contact this office.
Municipal Treasurers

The club industry better start paying more attention to "gamers," people who play video games on their computers, TVs or game consoles. There are more than 150 million computer gamers worldwide, and several indicators show that the gaming industry will grow as much as 50 percent in the next four years.
One of the reasons why gaming has become wildly popular is that it has created its own social eco-system for millions of people. Gaming has become a non-threatening way for people to interact and compete with others.
Gamers are not just kids and teens, either. People in their 30s who grew up with computers represent one of the fastest growing segments of this burgeoning group.
Studies show what we already know: Gamers are more likely to sit at a computer than exercise. However, gaming that includes movement is beginning to provide a safe environment for those who are intimidated by exercise and other forms of person-to-person interaction.
Rob Murdock has served as an executive with technology companies such as Intel and In Focus. Murdock, now a director for a major equipment manufacturer, has seen many companies in our industry struggle with products that try to incorporate movement with fun and entertainment.
"We have to find ways to make gaming incorporate exercise, rather than incorporating gaming into exercise," Murdock says.
Tony Murrillo, another IT executive in the health care industry, says gamers don't consider themselves athletes and feel self-conscious exercising in front of others.
"These same people do want social interaction and even competition, but it needs to be somewhat private and stimulating at the same time," Murrillo says.
Komani International, a gaming company, has had some initial success integrating Dance Dance Revolution into school programs in states such as West Virginia. The Mayo Clinic has also done a study that shows that kids who participate in gaming with movement lowered their weight and improved their health.
There are some promising advances by gaming companies that are attempting to weave sports, fun and movement into their products. Regarding gamers and the club industry, gaming experts have learned the following:
Our industry needs to find a way to integrate games into exercise machines that incorporate movement but also have the mental stimulation and even the competitive nature of the most successful games.
Manufacturers should use the knowledge that gaming companies have garnered in their research to develop "movement" programs that incorporate the best of what gamers like and use. Gamers are not simply technology "geeks" who will pedal a bike to participate in a game. Remember, start with the gaming experience and build movement.
In your member surveys or review of demographic data, find out if there is a contingency of gamers and what games they play. Spending time on Google will reveal gaming trends that are both gaining and waning.
Take the time to truly understand the mindset of the gamer. Don't make assumptions. It's a safe bet that many of your members have spouses, friends and other family members who are gamers who need to exercise. Consider drawing the gaming demographic into your club by having computers and games available, even if they are not yet incorporated into your exercise equipment.
The number of participants in gaming dwarfs the number of those who belong to health clubs. This trend will continue as games and technology become more ubiquitous.

I really don't know the extent of the injury, though I would say it's a good sign that he was only taken to the parking lot and not to the hospital.
While I'm on the subject, if the injury is legit (and to my knowledge, it was) why on Earth would Dragon or Davey continue to move Zokre after Knox had thrown the "X" signaling the end of the match? Clearly Zokre was hurt - his legs weren't moving and he appeared to not respond to Knox. It's DANGEROUS and a little careless of Davey and Dragon to continue the match in any way.
In any case, solid show (though I think a LOT of fans wanted to see Joe). Let's hope the kinks in the PWG machine can be worked out in time for the next one (let's start with tightening up the ropes and sticking to a set of rules - namely the one that saw Steen DQ'd for the chair but let Joey use it for the finish in plain sight of the referee).

Synthetic Sarees
Synthetic fibers (British English: synthetic fibres) are fibers made by humans with chemical synthesis, as opposed to natural fibers that humans get from living organisms with little or no chemical changes. They are the result of extensive research by scientists to improve on naturally occurring animal fibers and plant fibers. In general, synthetic fibers are created by extruding fiber-forming materials through spinnerets into air and water, forming a thread These fibers are called synthetic or artificial fibers. Some fibers are manufactured from plant-derived cellulose and are thus semisynthetic, whereas others are totally synthetic, being made from crudes and intermediates including petroleum, coal, limestone and water. synthetic fibers are made from synthesized polymers of small molecules. The compounds that are used to make these fibers come from raw materials such as petroleum based chemicals or petrochemicals.

I'm really glad to see FreeBSD and Blender in the top 10!
May the source be with you!
Maybe one of the more OpenBSD savvy folks here know more though ...
UNIX was not designed to stop you from doing stupid things, because that would also stop you from doing clever things.
The position of OpenBSD team was and still is that they have no interest in GSoC. If Google really wants to help OpenBSD they can either donate money directly to the OpenBSD foundation or directly pay a developer (I intensionally have not used word hired because Google can not force a project onto an OpenBSD developer) to work full time on the specific thing they already working on. There has been recently flurry of very interesting developments in OpenBSD and according to Theo with enough money they could commit 10-15 very, very cool things very quickly.
Like ability to use almost unlimited buffer cash on AMD64. Softraid crypto on the root which can be configured from the installer. Huge improvements in the speed of the file systems and disks writes. Huge improvements in network speed. Multiprocessor friendly PF. Kernel crypto which can use multiprocessors and so on ...
Oh yes, I forgot minor changes like removing Bind and replacing it with Unbound. Removing Sandmail and replacing it with OpenSMTPd.

The OpenBSD project itself hasn't joined GSoC, but OpenSSH has in the past.. and it lead to improvements in sftp(1) for example.
I'm going to guess the main reason for no interest is the mentoring, people involved with developing OpenBSD do so for their own reasons.. personal or professional, they may not want to handhold some student learning the ropes.

(Mild Traumatic Brain Injury)
by Elizabeth Smoots, MD
A concussion is an injury to your brain that causes problems with how the brain works. It can affect brain tasks like memory, balance, concentration, judgment, and coordination.
Most will have a full recovery, but the brain will need time to heal with the proper rest and monitoring.
A concussion is caused by a sudden, violent jolt to the brain. The force can cause stretching and tearing to the brain and soft tissue that support it. Forces that can cause this type of damage include:
Risk Factors
Factors that may increase your chance of a concussion include:
Concussions most often occur with:
A concussion can cause symptoms that may last for days, weeks, or even longer. They may be immediately present or appear a few hours or days after the injury. The symptoms that develop will depend on the severity of the injury. More common symptoms are listed below.
Physical symptoms may include:
Mental and emotional symptoms may include:
A doctor should be consulted if serious symptoms like confusion and vomiting occur or if symptoms get worse.
Young children may not be able to clearly communicate symptoms. Talk to a doctor if the child has had a head injury and is showing any of the following symptoms:
You will be asked about your symptoms and how the injury occurred. Others who witnessed the accident may also be asked to describe what happened and how you reacted. A physical exam will be done. It will often include brief tests for strength, sensation, balance, reflexes, and memory. The doctor will often be able to diagnose a concussion based on the exam and history.
A CT scan may be done if there are severe symptoms or certain risk factors but are not always needed.
The brain can usually heal on its own with some rest and avoiding activities that may be harmful while it heals. Normal activities can be resumed when tolerated and if advised by the doctor. Strenuous physical activity and sports participation may be resumed depending on the severity of your concussion and individual symptoms. Symptoms will gradually fade during recovery.
Mental Rest
There may be cognitive problems after a concussion that can make mentally-demanding tasks more difficult. Early in recovery, activities that need concentration like work or schoolwork may be difficult. Also, consider reducing video games, watching television, computer activities, or texting.
Increase mental and physical activities gradually as recommended by your doctor based on how you feel. Symptoms, balance, cognition, and tolerance to current activity levels may be tested throughout recovery.
Prevent Further Damage
The brain is more vulnerable to injuries while it is healing. Re-injury can lead to more severe or long-term symptoms. Precautions should be taken with:
Second head injury can be especially dangerous in children and adolescents (second impact syndrome). Even a mild second head injury in children and adolescents can lead to serious damage to the brain. This can lead to unconsciousness and even death.
A closed head injury is often the result of an accident which can be difficult to prevent. To decrease the chance of severe injuries during an accident:
To prevent accidents at home that can lead to concussions:

- mft2csv which takes a $MFT file and rip info from all the records and dump to CSV file.
- MFTRCRD is a cli file dumper to pull all info mft2csv can decode. can also dump the $MFT record of a specific file to console and detailed run information.
- SetMACE which is a timestamp fiddling tool.
Note, Joakim doesn't have them all bundled up in a single archive package so look at the Downloads page carefully to pick out the most recent versions of each of them. It isn't hard but does take a moment to make sure you are grabbing the right file. Also be aware that these are compiled in "AutoIt" script. It's very flexible and powerful but some AV apps might complain… Joakim has done a great job with his documentation on each tool. Check out the Wiki for more details on each one.
Have fun!

Britney Spears might have made headlines with her recent lip-synching while on tour in Australia – but she has an unlikely ally coming to her defense – Canadian crooner Michael Buble.
"You'd think she killed someone," Michael recently told Melbourne's Herald Sun newspaper, referring to the controversy surrounding Brit's use of pre-recorded vocals. "Okay, she lip-synchs her show, people know that, they make the decision if they want to go and see her do that."
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Pop Princess Britney Spears
The crooner called out how the media has treated Britney during her "Circus" tour down under, saying, "Does she deserve the way she's been completely bashed by the media here? No."
Michael went to call the criticism of Britney "nasty," but is also keeping his sense of humor about the situation.

"Mind you, I lip-synch all my concerts," he said joking. "I'm the Milli Vanilli of jazz."

Pondering on friendship...
I've been pondering of friendship lately. I realized that I am not a person who will have tons of friends. I've always been like that since primary school I guess. I learned fast that others can take advantage of you and somehow my heart had shut down on future friendship... Oh don't take me wrong, I have one close friend when I was in high school but somehow we lost contact when we left for college. Then we reconnected when she had her 15 years conventum (a year after mine) and lost contact again... Then I found her on facebook but then I got sick in my stomach with facebook and I scraped most of the supposively friendship I had. No really Facebook made me realize how fake some of those friendship were. The kind of friendship that say hi only when it is convenient or only when you go to church... Mind you sinice we are planting a church ourselves, we left the mother church without others thinking much about us I think. Why am I saying this? Well, nobody called or e-mailed to ask how things were going... Except one or two that I would consider friends. One of them left for Cochrane, AB to finish her master in divinity. The other is homeschooling as well but her kids are older than mine.
Speaking of friends moving away - I got my share lately.... Last year, it was friends who moved to Winnipeg. Since then, we made the effort to call once in a while but honestly I feel like it's a one side thing. So I am wondering how close was that friendship??? Then, Rob sister, her husband and their two sons left for Vancouver earlier this year. That too bad but hey a guy has to go where there is job to support his family. So I understand. It just sucks that we won't have physical contact with my nephews... Oh well. Then I though I had some sort of friendship with an older woman but again because we left our mother-church to plant another church, well that friendship sort of went on the ice...
Then my friend and her family moved to Cochrane. Her daughter went to school with Alexandre and they are close. We "joke" about the fact that they might marry someday. Hey we never know... Anyhow, these two are close and even call themselves boyfriend/girldfriend. I want Alexandre to cultivate this friendship so we will write to his friend Emily during the next two years.
But friendship for myself??? Right now, I must say that it's pretty platonic. I know that Jesus is my best friend and I do have internet friends but meeting with someone who lives in Pennsylvania or Cochrane, Alberta on a regular basis is kind of hard don't you think? So I give it up to God - totally. After all He knows what kind of friend is best for me. I won't be looking. He will have to make things happens.
But just in case.... Here's some of my requirements: Someone who would like to read, take walks, christian, interested in crafts (mostly stamping and scrapbooking), camping, homeschooling (possibly - or at least encourage me to continue), skating (okay it has been years since I did this but hubby doesn't enjoy it so I figure a girlfriend might like it), shopping, someone who would lift me up (not put me down), someone who will move heaven and earth to take my out because she knows I need a break from the kids, someone who will laugh with me and cry with me... Mmmm! My list could go on and on. But I sure hope that I will find such a friend eventually.
In the meantime, hubby wants to give me a break and suggested that I go to the trailer by myself for a day or two. Problem is - I hate driving bymyself on long distance. I hate going to eat somewhere by myself also. So I guess I have to work on these aspects of me... because I do need the time by myself -desperately!
According to Dominic
My in-laws are flying to Vancouver to visit my sister-in-law and her family today. So last night, as we were driving back home from church, Dominic was asking tons of questions...
- Where are they gonna sleep?
- At Tante Nicole and Oncle Jean.
- Do they have a bed for them?
- Yes. They have a futon.
- What's a futon?
- It's like a sofa that can be made as a bed.
- Oh.... So it's a transformer sofa?
and the questions went on about pillows, blankets and even stuff animals. But the one that made of laugh was the transformer sofa...
I've finally done it....
After more than 6 years living in this house we never put together the baldaquin part of our bed.
Last night, hubby left with a friend to go fish. This morning, I decided that I would look the pieces to see if I could finish to put the bed together. I knew I had all the posts and the other pieces but some posts had screws at both end and others didn't... MmmmM! I figure it out! I put everything together but when the time to put the metal siding I was missing the screws for them. Well... well... where could they be???
I checked the box where hubby leaves all the screws... not there. Then I thought of a box in a hallway closet close to our room. What is inside this box? So I checked it out... Found some stuff to sell in a garage sale and one or two things to keep. Then a plastic bag which was written Master Bedroom. In the bag there is screws and others few things. Eureka! Found the little screws... well one is missing somehow. But I was able to finish the job. Took me 2 hours by myself but I think it will be a nice surprise when hubby comes later today.
I'm proud of myself... but tired though. It doesn't helpo when you have kids getting up at 530am. Arg!
New glasses in the house
This morning we went to the chiropractor and on the way back home we stopped at Staples to a few things for school as well as for the business. Then we went to Wal-Mart to buy some milk and a few other little things. Then we decided to bring the kids to the McDonalds there. A treat really because we don't go to McDonalds really often. They had the new olympics glasses in hand and we decided to buy the whole set. I think they are very well made - strong. We had the Disney glass set from a few years back with the four theme parks in Florida and love them. Here's a picture of what they look like. Not sure if the McDonalds in the States have the same glasses or not.
Pictures from our road trip
Okay. So I used smilebox to put pictures together to show all the things we have done during our road trip. Mind you some pics are not the best but the grin on my kids face is jsut worth it.... Just to remind everyone of what we did is left Ontario to Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania to Massachusetts, Massachusetts to Maine, Maine to New Brunswick, New Brunswick to Prince Edouard Island, Prince Edouard Island to New Brunswick, New Brunswick to Quebec (slept one night), Quebec to back home in Ontario.
We had a great time! I would do it again...
|Make a Smilebox slideshow
Should we or not?
We are debating... should we go on a one week trip early September or not? The weeks after that will become hectic with the rave and the grand opening with H.E.A.T. - but at the same time not too long ago we were on a month long trip. Speaking of which... I just realized I never put some pictures. Mmmm! Gotta do that.
The one week trip is tempting for sure. One week in the States again - most likely in the Syracuse area. We even got tempted to go back in PA - Yes Heidi and others from that state we might have gone back. But honestly I'm a bit tired.... not sure I want to go that far...
So we are pondering, thinking hard, on what to do.
Jumping into marketing...
Okay! I've experienced two years of toy testing and when I saw the e-mail of TOS for the focus group, I've decided to try it out.
My next step would be to write about two products. I won't tell you right now what they are but I am quite excited about them... So in the days to come I will check them out and blog about it as well.
So keep an eye open to read about my reviews.
Saying goodbye...
... is always hard but when you know the people are following God's will then the sadness doesn't last long. In the past we said goodbye to friends who went to become missionaries in Thailand and another couple who had to move to Winnepeg, Manitoba because of his job (he works for the defense).
Last night, we had supper with some friends of ours from our mother church. We camp together last summer. Their daughter went to school with Alexandre (they were in the same class) and they were in Sunday School together. They are cute calling each other boyfriend and girlfriend. When we learned they were leaving for 2 years so that Shannon could finish her master in divinity in Cochrane, AB well we provided their daughter with paper, envelops and special pens to write to Alexandre.
When they left to continue packing last night, my son cried, Shannon and I had tears in our eyes. Not easy to say goodbye. But they are coming back for Christmas time and next summer too!
We will miss them but we will keep contact via e-mail, facebook with Al and the cameras on our laptops. I sure hope that God will bless them in Alberta during this two years.
So I pray that Al had a good drive and that he will be protected during the trip. I pray that Shannon and the kids won't miss Al for the few more days they will be staying in the area. I pray that you give patience to Shannon who will be living with the grand-parents for half a week. I pray that she and the kids have a good flight to Calgary.
We will miss you guys... but we can't wait to see you again in December!

text: Superb high-grade collection of fifty-four different (of the 88 in the set) 1971 Topps Brady Bunch cards, based on the popular TV show. The Brady Bunch was a sensation in the 1970s, and one of the few television shows of the early 1970s to survive with its popularity intact to this day. Brady Bunch fanatics will remember that Don Drysdale once visited the Bradys to offer some pitching tips. As we know, none of the Brady boys ever made it to the Majors, but they did get their own bubble-gum card set! When The Brady Bunch first hit the airwaves in 1969, Greg couldn't even shave. By the time the series was retired in 1974, Greg was practically a gorilla. One of the defining TV families of the American cultural landscape, the Bradys live on, suspended in time, both on Nick at Nite and in this classic nonsport set. All fifty-four cards have been graded and encapsulated by PSA. The PSA grades are as follows: Eight MINT 9: #27 (only two graded at this level, none graded higher), 47 (highest graded), 49 (only two graded at this level, none graded higher), 62 (highest graded), 72 (highest graded), 80 (highest graded), 82 (highest graded), and 83 (highest graded). Four NM-MT+ 8.5: #31 (highest graded), 38 (only two graded at this level, none graded higher), 56 (only one graded at this level, just one graded higher), and 60 (highest graded). Twenty NM-MT 8: #21, 22 (none graded higher), 26 (none graded higher), 29 (only one graded higher), 32 (only one graded higher), 34 (only one graded higher), 36 (none graded higher), 43 (none graded higher), 48 (none graded higher), 52 (only one graded higher), 58 (only one graded higher), 63 (none graded higher), 65 (none graded higher), 69 (none graded higher), 73 (only two graded higher), 74 (none graded higher), 79 (none graded higher), 81 (only two graded at this level, none graded higher), 86 (only one graded higher), and 87 (none graded higher). Twenty-two NM 7: #5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 17, 19, 20, 23, 33, 35, 42, 50, 51, 53, 64, 67, 75, 76, 77, and 84. Many of these cards are the highest (23 cards) or second-highest (7 cards) graded examples in the PSA Population Report. This outstanding collection represents 60% of the set, and is a tremendous foundation for the building of an extremely high grade complete set. The total SMR value for the assigned grades is $3,440 (there is no SMR value for the NM-MT+ 8.5 grade, so the four examples graded at this level were calculated using the NM-MT 8 value). Total: 54 cards. Reserve $1,000. Estimate $2,000+. SOLD FOR $5,333

Today, we released the 1.0.8 update for the Gmail voice and video chat software. All current installations will begin an automatic update within the next 24 hours. If you do not want to wait, you can visit http://mail.google.com/videochat and re-run the installer.
You can use your Gmail account to find out what version is currently installed. Simply go to the Gmail Settings page and look under the "Chat" tab. You will see the plugin version under the "Learn more" link, in small type.
Here's what's new in version 1.0.8:
- Added support for the H.264/AVC video codec, in addition to the H.264/SVC codec that we typically use. This allows us to be compatible with video software that does not yet support SVC. When using H.264/AVC, Gmail video chat will send and expect in-band parameter sets, and send using a single-NAL RTP packetization.
- Made several improvements to voice quality, including additional tuning of our echo cancellation and automatic gain control algorithms.
- Fixed a problem where device settings would not be saved in some cases if no webcam was present.
- Fixed a problem where the browser plugin would sometimes not be detected by Gmail, even though it was installed.
- Fixed various crashes in the browser plugin.
- On Windows, fixed a problem where video chat would never work in certain network conditions. This was most often seen when using wireless broadband or other types of PPPoE connections.
- On Windows, fixed a problem where certain Sony Vaio cameras could cause the browser to crash when starting a video chat.
- On Windows, fixed a problem where certain Creative cameras could cause Chrome to display a "sad plugin" when starting a video chat.
- On Mac, fixed a problem where users of PostgreSQL (or any other app that uses a lot of shared memory) would see a "black box" instead of video.
If you're on 1.0.8 and still having a problem, please report it on the Gmail voice and video chat forums. As always, feel free to email me directly as well.

A 28-year old man from Georgia, David Krech, is recovering from a rare, lifesaving heart/liver transplant on October 15 at the University of Maryland Medical Center. The 13-hour operation followed a five-month journey as he awaited a suitable heart and liver donor.
The journey began in early May. Dr. Raul Santos, Krech's physician in Thomasville, Ga., believed that the young man would not survive much longer without a heart and liver transplant. He contacted the University of Maryland Medical Center's heart transplant program for help.
Erika Feller, M.D., assistant professor of medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and the medical director of the medical center's heart transplantation program, spoke with Dr. Santos and they arranged to immediately fly Krech to Baltimore on a medevac flight.
He arrived at the medical center on May 6, within 36 hours of their initial conversation. "He was very sick when he arrived. We admitted him right away and began therapy to keep his heart working. A few days later, we listed him for a heart/liver transplant," says Dr. Feller.
As they began to wait for a transplant, Krech's parents, Lavinia and Bill, rented a home in Baltimore's Federal Hill neighborhood a few miles from the hospital. They even brought the family dog up from Georgia. Krech eventually got strong enough to leave the hospital—but he needed to stay on intravenous medicine 24-hours a day to keep his heart going.
When a suitable donor heart and liver became available five months later, he underwent the double transplant on October 15 and was discharged from the University of Maryland Medical Center on November 5.
"The heart transplant was challenging because David had undergone several previous heart surgeries," says Bartley P. Griffith, M.D., professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and chief of cardiac surgery at the medical center, who performed the heart transplant. "We are very pleased at his recovery. In fact, the day after surgery, he was sitting up in a chair, which was quite amazing," adds Dr. Griffith.
Krech was born with a rare form of congenital heart disease called pulmonary atresia. It means that the pulmonary valve does not form properly and blood from the right side of the heart cannot get into the lungs to pick up oxygen. He also had a ventricular septal defect, which is a hole in the wall that separates the right and left ventricles of the heart. He had surgeries at age 10 and 11 to replace defective valves. Those valves were replaced again in 2007.
"The previous operations were a stop gap measures, not a cure. The transplant is a cure," says Dr. Feller.
Krech also needed a new liver because his liver had become scarred as a result of the poor functioning of his heart over many years. His doctors said that his liver was not strong enough to support a transplanted heart.
"A combined heart/liver transplant requires precise teamwork between the cardiac surgeons and the liver surgeons. Each organ depends on the other to function. The result for David has been quite dramatic and therefore very rewarding for us," says Benjamin Philosophe, M.D., Ph.D., associate professor of surgery at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and director of the Division of Transplantation at the University of Maryland Medical Center. Dr. Philosophe and transplant surgeon Sameh A. Fayek, M.D., an assistant professor of surgery, performed the liver transplant.
"I am very grateful to the person who donated my new heart and liver and I am looking forward to being able to resume a normal life," says Krech. "I've been in school at Southwest Georgia Technical College studying early childhood education and I'd like to transfer to a four-year college and eventually teach kindergarten or first grade."
According to his mother, Lavinia Krech, David looks very different now than before his transplant. "I didn't know he had such a beautiful complexion. Because of his heart problems, his skin color was always sort of gray. When he came out of the transplant, his cheeks were actually pink." She added, "We are so indebted to everyone here and thankful that everything fell into place beautifully so that he could get better."
This was the third combination heart/liver transplant performed at the University of Maryland Medical Center. The first two were in 2007. So far in 2010, 12 other heart/liver transplants have been performed in the United States at seven other hospitals.
"This is a great example of the extraordinary teamwork among our physicians and their dedication to helping patients with the most complex medical problems," says E. Albert Reece, M.D., Ph.D., M.B.A., vice president for medical affairs at the University of Maryland and dean of the School of Medicine.
Krech will continue to stay in Baltimore for a few more months as he continues to recover from his transplant before returning home to Georgia.

Last weekend I had the greatest pleasure of doing some wonderful jewellery classes my dear and wonderfully talented friend Jen Crossley. She taught a wide array of techniques including making bezels and using the wonderful ice resin. Here are the bezels we made and a big thank you to Jen for wiring my birdcage for me, these fingers of mine just dont have it when it comes to the fiddly stuff these days. Love you woman..LOL So in the last few days I have been madly finishing the bezels and attaching Jens pewter twigs and making them into necklaces. And this comes from a woman who always said, "I dont do jewellery" Thanks Jen for another addiction for collecting and making jewellery..

Thank you book
I made this little book for a dear friend Ness for putting up with me the whole weekend just passed so I could catch up with another dear friend Jen and do Jens wonderful classes.
The front and back covers are replicas of a tin type album. I made a silicon mould of the album, then squished in some polymer clay and baked in the oven until they were hard. Added paint, and then some rub and buff and you have album covers without ever using the real one, or until you want to.
