The BBC has just announced that a new BBC One HD channel will launch in the autumn, offering a simulcast of BBC One.
The existing BBC HD channel will remain, and continue to showcase HD material from the Corporation's other channels. It schedule will extend to 12 hours a day.
Programmes including The One Show, Weakest Link, QI and The Apprentice are scheduled to move to HD production by the end of the year.
Other long-running shows such as Songs of Praise, Question of Sport and Blue Peter will also be moving to HD.
The new service will be available on all digital TV platforms that carry HD – that's Freeview, Freesat, Sky and Virgin Media.
So, now we know what the fourth slot on the Freeview HD mux will be used for.
That space was originally allocated to Five, but Ofcom withdrew it when the broadcaster proved unable to detail its HD launch plans. Five HD will instead go live on Sky in July. ®

The advent of the internet was couched in the dissemination of information and to the widespread availability of the same. That it has morphed into a commercial tool, is but a side effect. However, this effect of the commercialization and the channel for marketing that is unprecedented has not diminished the value of the interned but instead enhanced it. The value of commerce has been combined with the expansion of information and that is exactly how search engines have viewed it.
The key to being top on search engines is to have content that provide copious amounts of information to users. To be successful it is a must to share knowledge with others and this act also has tremendous benefit.
As case in point, a dentist's website should hold information that relates to tooth aches and remedies as well as tooth, dental and oral care. This then satisfies the intent of the internet which is to be a medium of sharing information. As an example when searching for any information, the page that usually comes out on top is something from Wikipedia. Wikipedia is the very embodiment of what the internet was meant to accomplish; the sharing of information. Wikipedia is designed to share knowledge by people who have it to people who are in search of it. Every website, especially a dentist's, should take this cue form Wikipedia.
When a concept for any site is drawn up, especially a professional site like a dental practice, it should be noted that volumes of information pertaining to all things oral and dental should be planned in a way that is easily categorizable and searchable.
A person who has a symptom would first like to understand what it is so searching for symptoms should be directed to the information page. Once a rudimentary understanding of the symptom is accomplished, a person begins to have faith in the site and recommendations for dental practices in the area to alleviate the symptom or eliminate the root of the problem can be suggested.
Remember that when you understand and utilize the spreading of useful information you are participating in basic premise and foundation of the internet. It is indeed why the internet has attracted literally billions of people to it.
As life grows increasingly complex there will only be greater need for relevant and useful information. When people search for and are in need of the information about what you offer you will stand a greater chance to get their attention and gain their trust when you can provide the best possible information you are capable of developing.

The myth of vampire and Dracula will never die!
I remember when I was little I use to love to watch horror movies. Very rarely then they scare me. Even as I am older I still love horror. I love the suspense, the anticipation, and how it pulls me in. Well this summer John and I went to Romania with friends and one of our stop was Dracula Bran Castle in Transylvania. It was great…we end up celebrating our wedding anniversary in Transylvania. How cool is that. I made a very short video of Dracula Castle in which I made and edit myself. Let me know what you think:)

Vol. 23, No. 9: Chair/Chaired?
Fold that chair
The March and April issues provided reminders that chairmen and chairwomen are not chairs and they don't chair anything, under stylebook rules.
● "'I don't call them vandals,' says Michael Clark, chair of the Cardiff Botanical Society." He is the chairman, under stylebook rules.
● A committee "chaired by Mr. Whitworth will play a key role in any deal." It is headed or led by Mr. Whitworth.
● "Mr. O'Keefe served as staff director for a subcommittee of the Appropriations Committee, which Mr. Stevens chaired." He headed it, stylistically.
● "Mr. Rangel has served as a congressman for four decades and chaired the Ways and Means panel." Sigh.

Paris Bombay's novella is coming soon! It's with an editor and will soon hit Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Smashwords. And may I just say - this book was a bitch. How do you write a book with a perfectly nice guy in it? You can't change him or show any growth because he's not an arrogant ass in the beginning.
I can't tell you who gets Paris in the end. You just have to read the damn thing. When it's out. Which should be soon. I hope.
In other news, I've decided to grow out my gray hair. Just for the hell of it (something I do a lot). I've always been a bit restless where my hair is concerned. I'm kind of curious to see what I actually look like.
What's interesting is how so many people are telling me not to do it. Don't you know (or maybe you always suspected) that the more you tell me I can't or shouldn't do something - the more I want to do it? Besides, it's just hair. And once I grow it out, I may go back to coloring it. Maybe blue next time. So here's some pictures - and I'll keep you updated.
I should mention that I have not told Mom I'm doing this. Yes, I'm 45 and afraid of my 5'1" mother. In fact, last weekend at my daughter's cross country meet, I wore a hat so she wouldn't notice. Why? She threw a fit when my sister went gray. Now with me going gray - more silver really - she's gonna look weird with blonde hair with two gray-haired daughters (something I think will actually be quite hilarious).
So I'm not going to tell her. Not yet. She'll probably notice by Thanksgiving anyway. Mental note - have extra bottles of Two Buck Chuck on hand for T-giving.
Also a huge thanks to Teri for being my first ever beta reader for a book I once wrote but never published: THE ADULTERER'S UNOFFICIAL GUIDE TO FAMILY VACATIONS. I'll be taking her opinion very seriously, so it'll be her fault if no one ever sees it.

I have a few shifts left before I change jobs. It's a bittersweet feeling… I'm sad to leave the people that I really enjoy working with, but I'm really excited and nervous about starting my new job. I didn't think I was ever going to leave this job. Ever. In. A. Million. Years. If you asked me a year ago where I was going to be with my career in five years, I would have immediately answered with "this job, of course!"
But something suddenly changed within the last six months. I was feeling unsatisfied and unchallenged by my job. I was bored. I need to be stimulated, and my current job just wasn't doing that for me anymore. These new feelings about my job was difficult. I was struggling because I thought that *this* was my dream job, and that it's such a dynamic environment, so how could I be bored? I thought it was something that would pass if I just gave it some time, and plus there was nothing out there for me when I did a quick job search. But the more time I gave it, the more unhappy I was with my job.
Well, low and behold, I started doing some searching and came across a job posting, which I thought I could totally love, or totally hate and regret leaving my job. I applied, interviewed, and got the job after a two month process. So here I am, about to finish this job and move on to the next…. wish me luck!

Reduce to medium-high heat. Add the kale, and cook for about 5 minutes or until the kale is tender. Stir in the cannellini beans, and adjust seasoning to your likings with salt and pepper.
Ladle into soup bowls and sprinkle with grated parmesan cheese.

The U.S. Army, which was scheduled to implement a new physical fitness test next month, is putting those plans on hold as it conducts further study.
The Army Times first reported the news last Wednesday. In its report, the Army Times said Army officials canceled the test because it failed to measure functional fitness that would prepare soldiers in combat.
Last year, the Army began piloting two new tests, the Army Physical Readiness Test (APRT) and the Army Combat Readiness Test (ACRT) to help soldiers be more prepared for combat. The tests were intended to replace the Army Physical Fitness Test (APFT) that dates back to 1980. The three-event APFT, given twice a year, requires a soldier to run 2 miles and do sit-ups and push-ups within times appropriate by age and gender.
The new tests later were combined into one five-event test, which consisted of a 60-yard shuttle run, a standing long jump, push-ups, a 1.5-mile run and a rower, similar to a sit-up.
"Emerging factors and changing combat environments demand a thorough understanding before changes are implemented, and thus the decision to retain the current test," Training and Doctrine Command Sgt. Maj. Daniel A. Dailey said in a statement. "Whatever the new test looks like, it must accurately evaluate fitness levels for all soldiers to decisively win in combat."
The decision to delay changes to the physical fitness test was based on a recommendation from fitness experts from the Department of Physical Education at U.S. Military Academy, the U.S. Army Medical Research and Development Command, and California State University-Fullerton, according to report by The Associated Press. Those fitness experts also said the Army should consider other events that could better predict a soldier's physical readiness.
A new study, which is expected to begin next month, may or may not result in a recommendation to change the current physical fitness test, The Associated Press reported.

Paul Joseph Watson and Kurt Nimmo
May 25, 2011
Earlier today, Alex Jones went to the Texas State Capitol in Austin and joined a protest of citizens gathered to demand an end to TSA tyranny.
On his nationally syndicated radio show, Alex urged all within a reasonable distance of the capitol to take part in the demonstration. More than 200 people did so.
They implored their elected representatives to resist the federal government and its threat to shut down aviation in the state of Texas for daring to enact legislation to criminalize intrusive pat-downs currently conducted at airports. If allowed to continue this practice, federal government goons will be sticking their hands down the pants of citizens at malls, hotels, theme parks, and on streets across America.
The TSA has now turned into a literal occupying army threatening to completely change the character of American society from a beacon of liberty to a checkpoint-riddled, "show us your papers" Sovietized hellhole.
It is imperative that we not stand idly by while the federal government resorts to mafia-style threats of financial terrorism to crush the lawful and constitutional rights of local representatives to run their own state in the way they see fit.
For the whole story, see Paul Joseph Watson's Financial Terrorism: TSA Holds Texas Flights Hostage.

The nation state's motive appears to be economic growth, not physical destruction.
Hackers connected to the Chinese regime were responsible for more than 95 percent of cyber espionage cases last year worldwide, according to government authorities and private investigators.
An annual breach report compiled by Verizon traced the operations using known hallmarks of Chinese government interference as well as subpoenaed classified intelligence, company officials said.
"In those instances where we see the data is being used, the data was taken to give an advantage to a local business" in China, said Dave Ostertag, a global investigations manager with Verizon. China does not appear to be plumbing networks for a planned attack on electric grids or other industrial control systems, he said. Some victims in this year's report do manage such operations, but intruders were probing separate administrative networks, not turning traffic lights green citywide or wreaking other havoc.
The 2012 study, scheduled for release today, breaks down 620 data breaches documented by various organizations such as the U.S. Secret Service and European Cyber Crime Center. Verizon also includes cases where victims hired their own investigative services.
"Ninety-six percent of espionage cases were attributed to threat actors in China and the remaining 4 percent were unknown," the report states.
In some instances, Verizon obtained insights into hacker affiliations after filing court orders, Ostertag said. The details released as a result confirmed, for example, whether an implicated network address was actually in China and was communicating with a Chinese government network address. Mostly, though, malicious activity left behind telltale signatures already known to computer forensic firms such as Mandiant and Symantec.
The U.S. government is ratcheting up pressure on China, which it calls the world's most persistent perpetrator of economic espionage, to stop snooping. The White House in February released a strategy threatening intellectual property thieves with diplomatic actions and prosecutions, days after Mandiant published evidence of the Chinese military hacking 141 organizations in English-speaking countries.
But Verizon officials concede other, more active threat groups might be maneuvering more covertly. China consistently denies cyberspying and argues its systems are penetrated too.
Nearly all nation state-affiliated operations tricked personnel into divulging credentials by pretending to have a social connection to the target. "Over 95 percent of all attacks employed phishing" -- contacting victims through email or social media while feigning familiarity -- "as a means of establishing a foothold in their intended victims' systems," the report finds.
In general, attackers cracked accounts by somehow obtaining valid credentials. With spies, bank robbers and hacker activists, "authentication-based attacks factored into about four of every five breaches involving hacking," the report states.
Of the exploits studied, 92 struck government agencies in various countries. The somewhat brighter finding here is that federal departments were better at password management than commercial victims, Verizon officials said.
"They have password complexity policies that are far more stringent than private sector organizations," where employees often rely on entry codes such as "password," Ostertag said. Also plaguing industry: "Poor password-change programs that allow the passwords to work for longer than they should," he said.
The 2012 review focused more on cyberspies and China than last year's study, which dissected the rise of hacktivists. Verizon's own caseload contained more espionage incidents than ever before, officials said.
As in past years, contributing investigators stripped all records of information that could identify victims. Verizon recruited a record 19 participants, including, for the first time, the U.S. Cyber Emergency Response Team and the U.S. National Cybersecurity and Communications Integration Center.

For anyone who's pushing to give a new product some visibility in the market, one way to achieve this is to have your product seen on the shelves of a retailer chain. I am not 100% sure what's the 'proper' way of saying this?
Listing a product is as close as I can get. It works with things like online catalogues, but does it work with physically putting the product on a retailer's shelves?

Have you ever been in that moment with a woman where you KNOW you should make a move - like hold her hand or kiss her - and the time is right... but you back down and chicken out at the last second?
You want to get laid. You probably even want a girlfriend and not just a one night stand. (But hey, either one would do...)
You see all those guys around you either using some kind of fake banter or clever tricks to get women, but you've either tried it and couldn't pull it off, or it's just not you and you don't even want to bother with it. And as pissed off and frustrated as you might be, you don't want to be a manipulative jerk or deceptive just to attract a woman.
You've got some standards, and that's important.
BUT this situation is getting old, and you really need some results - FAST!
In my free Attraction Secrets Newsletter, you'll discover:
How to get the confidence to meet any woman...
How to use natural MAGNETIC charisma to attract beautiful women...
Flirting tips for seductive body language...
How to get over your fear of rejection and talk to women - fearlessly
How to finally get EVERYTHING you deserve as a man...!
There are a lot of steps between first meeting a woman and getting physical with her, aren't there?
If your sexual confidence gets "turned off" when you're with a woman, she'll sense it.
There's an old bit of sales wisdom that says that bad salesmen are 'bad' simply because they don't believe enough in the product they're selling.
And the BEST salesmen believe they've got something fantastic - and every person alive needs to have this thing. They'd never let someone walk away without buying it. They'd actually be doing their prospect a disservice by not convincing them to get one.
You don't need any clever sales techniques when you REALLY believe in what you're selling.
Well, with most guys, their core foundation is unstable and shaky. And they don't feel like the Prize. They don't feel confident in their "product." They can't escalate and "close the deal."
Not only is this true in sales, it's TWICE as true with women. Your product is YOU, my friend!
So why don't you have confidence in your "product"? Why aren't YOU sexually confident?
So the guy is moving forward, hoping the woman doesn't put on the brakes... and the girl is just watching his every move, getting ready to stop him.
Do you know how to go further - faster - with women?
The Secret is this: Put on the brakes FIRST.
The best thing you can do to guarantee that you keep moving forward - keep escalating - is just to know when she's about to put on the brakes, and then you stop her before she stops you.
This flips a switch in her head - and gets her interested and motivated to KEEP getting more sexually intimate with you - instead of shutting you down.
You probably thought that this was completely opposite to the way you wanted to handle it, right?
The male ego says: "Keep going until she stops you!" But if you do this one too many times, you're cut off for good. If she puts your brakes on more than a few times, she's going to make one assumption: "He ONLY wants to have sex with me..." Then she puts an end to the fun.
And even if she was interested in some fun for herself, she's not going to let the sex happen just because her programming won't let her sleep with you until you put things back in the right order.
Get Sexual Confidence fast by discovering what women really want, and how to show your sexual attraction safely with women.
That's right...
Fast-forward your way into complete sexual confidence - and break the vicious cycle.
You don't have to sleep with 100 women to get that primal confidence... You really don't even have to sleep with ONE. You just have to know what women really want - in and out of the bedroom.
Sexual Power is knowing you have the ability to satisfy a woman. And that she will want to drag you into her bed... And knowing you will make her SCREAM with pleasure and delight when you get her there.
Did you know that "low-status" men marry less attractive women, have much more stress, and die earlier than "high status" men?
It's a fact, proven in study after study. Without a feeling of power in a man's life, he loses a sense of control over his future.
NO power = NO control... and... NO sexual power = NO sex.
FACT: When You've Lost Your Sexual Confidence, You Won't Even Approach Women...
When you don't feel like you can give a woman a good sexual EXPERIENCE, you won't have the sexual confidence and sexual attractiveness you need to get her into the bedroom. And so you become afraid to even hit on women. You think she has some ridiculously high standards on how good you have to be in the bedroom just because she's pretty.
If you knew beyond a shadow of a doubt that any woman you slept with would be BLOWN AWAY by you in bed... If you KNEW you could deliver that... Do you think you'd have a problem being more sexual with women?
No, and that's what I'm going to show you how to do.
The power to attract women, and the power to HAVE the women you want.

This past Monday (September 26th), the Library and Archives Canada (LAC) commemorated the 170th anniversary of the Canada Gazette by making accessible the digitized back issues of this official publication at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/databases/canada-gazette.
A Nation's Chronicle: The Canada Gazette is also available at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/canada-gazette/index-e.html
The press release says that it is often referred to as "the official newspaper of the Government of Canada."
The database is searchable by keywords (for example – keywords such as divorce, immigration, and naturalization), and not by a person's name.
For example, from 1867 to 1968, the website says that "a person wishing to obtain a divorce was first required to place a notice of intent to petition the government for an Act of Divorce in the Canada Gazette and in two newspapers in the district or county where the petitioner resided. It was to appear for a six-month period".
An explanation of the Divorce Laws in Canada is given at www.collectionscanada.gc.ca/022/022-906.008-e.html
Here is a sample of the divorce records found in the Canada Gazette -
"NOTICE is hereby given that Dame Beatrice Evelyn Tutill, housewife, of the City and District of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, wife of Walter Joseph Bobineky, taxi driver, of the City of Montreal and District of Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, will apply to the Parliament of Canada, at the next or following session thereof, for a bill of divorce from her husband, the said Walter Joseph Bobinsky, on the ground of adultery.
Dated at Montreal, in the Province of Quebec, this 9th day of July, 1947.
Solicitor for the Applicant"

While local and federal elected officials voiced their dismay with President Obama Administration's recent designation of Promise Zone grant funding that excluded South Los Angeles, Mayor Eric Garcetti pledged aid one of the most poverty stricken regions in the city.
"All parts of Los Angeles will be included in the Promise Zone where we have poverty including South Los Angeles, but to my disappointment the rules in Washington didn't allow it," Garcetti told the Sentinel during an exclusive interview.
Since 2009, the President has provided more than $350 million in 100 of the nation's persistent pockets of poverty and during the initial round of the title Promise Zone grant funding, only Pico Union, Westlake, Koreatown, Hollywood and East Hollywood were included.
South Los Angeles ranked above the entire state of California according to data released in 2009 by City Data. The state has 19.1 percent poverty and South L.A. had 25 percent and the region with income below 50 percent of the poverty level, South L.A. had 8.7 percent compared to the state level of 6.0 percent.
According to the most recent data from the Los Angeles Chamber of Commerce, showed evidence of high levels of poverty was pervasive in South L.A.
The chamber's data indicated the vast majority (89 percent) of the tracts with concentrated levels of poverty were adjacent to Downtown and in South Los Angeles.
"The Promise Zone is an important project, and it is terribly needed in South Los Angeles. I am disappointed that South Los Angeles was not included in this round, and I will be following future Promise Zone announcements to ensure that South Los Angeles is included in the next round, said Congresswoman Karen Bass in a statement.
"I am hopeful the Promise Zones are similar to the anti-drug grants of the 1990s. We were fortunate that South Los Angeles was included in the first round, but after a few years Los Angeles received multiple follow-up grants.
"My hope is that Los Angeles ultimately has multiple Promise Zones, with South Los Angeles at the front of the next round."
The initiative designate a number of high poverty communities as Promise Zones, where the federal government will partner with and invest in communities to create jobs, leverage private investment, increase economic activity, expand educational opportunities and improve public safety.
"The only places eligible for these Promise Zones had to have won a Promise Neighborhood or Choice Neighborhood grant, but unfortunately those hadn't been given in South L.A.," explained Garcetti.
The Mayor said the aforementioned grants predated him and was done before his administration. He said those applications had been processed by the city earlier before he was elected as mayor.
"What we did is created something called a Promise Zone where you had to see the geography of it. South L.A. can get money from the Promise Zone," Garcetti said.
"It doesn't say those grants cannot be spent outside the Promise Zones, it just says that part of it has to go into the Promise Zones.
Garcetti added that there are five or six core pieces of the Promise Zone which the mayor intends to assure that other parts of the city benefit from the funding. Potentially, if South L.A. was included there could have been portions that would not have been covered under the grant, according to the mayor.
"I as the Mayor am not going to accept those technical rules as the reason not to expand and grow my efforts to end poverty and make more safer and livable communities, especially in South L.A.," Garcetti stated.
Garcetti targets Downtown and south of Downtown as pockets of the poorest in the city, but he added that there are other portions of the city in dire need as well.
The $2 billion funding will be spread throughout a 10 year period and the Los Angeles and according to the mayor the city will receive in the "high tens to hundreds of millions" in that time span.
Among the areas specified are safe passages to schools, parks and recreation, the department of agriculture, housing and public transportation.

: : : I know this phrase refers to masturbation and, I am thinking the book "Rape of the A.P.E." discussed its origin to a degree but I haven't been able to relocate a copy of the book. Does anyone happen to know more about this phrase outside of being a deterrent for a teen-age male to do this?
: : The idea, though maybe not the exact words, goes back more than 100 years. I think parents issued some such warning to small children, not just teenagers.
: : Two entries from Eric Partridge's "Dictionary of Catch Phrases American and British":
: : "I don't care if I do go blind." A defiant rejection of the once gen. statement that masturbation, whether frequent or even occasional, caused blindness: late C19 - mid 20. Brian W. Aldiss, 1978, adds: 'Ideally accompanied by a brisk slapping of the back of the neck. Words and action generally provoked by a (probably inaccessible) woman'.
: : "I don't want to be a sergeant-pilot, anyway" was, c. 1935-55, a joc. RAF catchphrase, alluding to masturbation, which has so long been reputed to impair one's mental and physical powers.
: :: In the 50's we had an answer for everything. So, when this particular warning was issued, we'd say --"I'll just do it 'till I need glasses."
Any idea of how the "go blind", or vision thoughts, become part of the warning thougts?

Homebrew PCB
Homebrew Printed Circuit Boards
What Where When
We met at Noisebridge on Saturday, July 25th at 3pm and designed some circuit boards.
We planned to follow a procedure not unlike this:
Saturday, July 25th, 2009
We ended up spending most of the time just designing the circuit. We based it on the Noisebridge logo, incorporating a series of resistors, a speaker, and for fun, an ATTiny25, an LED, and a micro switch. It's powered by a coin-cell, located on the back of the board. It can be programmed to do things! Look! Here's the Eagle CAD schematic, the Eagle board layout, or, if you don't have Eagle, a PDF.
There are a few ideas floating around for how the ATTiny25 can be programmed. One is for the LED to always be on, and for the speaker to make noise when the center button is pressed. It has also been suggested that the speaker play a song (London Bridges Falling Down?).
We then tried transferring it to a solid copper board by printing onto magazine paper and then ironing that onto the board (we lacked the proper transfer film). This sorta worked, but not good enough. We subsequently learned that the magazine paper method works best if, after the paper is ironed to the copper, one wets the magazine with soapy water, loosening the fibers and leaving more toner stuck as you pull the paper off.
Monday, July 27, 2009
Skory got some supposed transfer transparencies at Fry's (they're now somewhere at NB if anyone else wants to try using one). MCT used up a couple minutes of company time, toner, and coffee getting one the sheets printed on. Not without some mishaps, the deed was done - success was achieved.
Without further ado, a pictorial account:

Jennifer and Jeff have been together, well, let's just say a while. She walked down the aisle to the song "At Last." And yet there was a great feeling of anticipation before their wedding. Was it the sense of early spring? Knowing everything was just about to burst into bloom? Watch the nervous excitement and Jennifer and Jeff prepare, then see each other for the first time on their wedding day.
Here's what the bride had to say:
"Just a quick note to let you know that we FINALLY got to sit down last night and watch the video!
Thank you SO SO SO Much!
It absolutely captured the feeling of the day! And we know we will love showing it off to our family and friends!
And of course, we will be watching it over and over!
Thank you so much for being a part of our day!!!! Love, Jennifer"

THE SPORTS DOCTOR- Bracket creep: Is it gut reaction, bias, or insecurity?
Since my March 5 column, I've got nothing to say about Dave Leitao's dismal record– or about his March 16 "resignation."
But stop the presses– Ty Lawson has turf toe! Does this spell disaster for UNC? Could a torn joint capsule cost the Tar Heels a shot at the national championship? Will the buzzards gorge on the bones of Marquette or fill up on Oklahoma's Blake Griffin? The mind reels.
It's that time again, the time when all of America's spare money and brainpower is funneled away from invention and industry and into Cinderella stories and sure things. According to the gambling site pregame.com, an estimated 40 million people will wager over $12 billion on NCAA brackets this year. That averages out to $300 per bet, which is a little steep, but even if your wager is only $10, you've got a lot of thinking to do.
With so many people and so much money in the mix, finding the edge to win the office pool is a daunting task. It's a little late now to take expert advice into consideration, but all the advice in the world isn't worth a hill of beans when it comes to brackets anyway. If you relied on bias and instinct when picking your Sweet Sixteen, you're far from alone.
The Wall Street Journal's Dan Shanoff identifies five stages of bracket-picking: pre-existing bias, gut reaction, second-guessing, paralyzing insecurity, and resignation. Do you recognize yourself in Shanoff's five-step program? It's okay, you can admit it; I surely have.
I usually like to keep my bracket a secret, because who needs to more embarrassment, right? This year, in the spirit of goodwill and solidarity, I'll chance the humiliation and share a few of my picks and the dubious reasoning behind them.*
In the first round, I have VCU over UCLA, not because Sports Illustrated makes the same choice, but because when Virginia faces off against California, I'm not giving the West Coast the time of day. So what if UCLA is seeded higher than VCU? I have a conscience.
The same is true for my pick of Maryland over California. I'm no fan of the Terps, but if I were a rapper, undoubtedly I'd participate in the East Coast/West Coast throwdown.
But my bias only extends so far. I have both VCU and Maryland losing in the second round, to Villanova and Memphis respectively. I may be loyal, but I'm not stupid. Even though VCU is being touted as the team with the most potential to upset, Villanova usually does pretty well, and I don't think this year is any exception.
Lucky for me, I don't have to rely on my hatred of Boston College to justify their being ousted early. I swallowed my revulsion and predicted they'd emerge victorious over USC in the first round, but I'm sure BC will fall to Michigan State in the second. When it comes to Michigan State, I'm ambivalent, so in the third round–
Will they lose to West Virginia? Again, setting aside my aversion for the Mountaineers, I have them steamrolling Dayton in the first round and upsetting Kansas in the second. Why the upset? Better the enemy you know, that's my philosophy. West Virginia rarely misses an opportunity to humiliate Virginia schools, so why should Kansas be any different? I don't have WVU getting its comeuppance until the third round, when I'm sure the Big Ten will finally produce.
Cutting to the chase, I have Pitt's upending UNC in the Final Four and facing off against Louisville. Of course I'm second-guessing those choices and wondering if I should have UConn in the final– or maybe even Memphis. Will Duke be able to pull it out of the fire and embarrass everyone? Or will Oklahoma prove everyone wrong? The old insecurity is already kicking in, and I'm not even finished second-guessing myself yet.
So my secret is out, and lucky for everyone else who fills out a bracket, there's always someone who does a little worse. I don't anticipate winning any pools, but I live in the hope that I haven't embarrassed myself too badly, and years of rooting for UVA has taught me that avoiding total humiliation is better than nothing.
*Betting on college basketball is illegal, so any inference that The Sports Doctor contributed to an office pool is for illustration only. Honest.

Public Lighting Lamp-post - Hradčanské Square, Hradčany
Hradčanské Square, Hradčany
On Hradčany Square you will find eight branched cast-iron lamp-post of public gaslight, one from the sixteen lamp-posts installed in Prague in 1860´s and one of the two that were preserved. (Apart from these, there were 11 four branched, 55 three branched and 557 single lamp-posts in Prague.) The eight branched lamp-posts are the most valuable ones from the artistic point of view and these were based on designs by architect A. Linsbauer, made by sculptor E. Veselý and casted by Komárov iron works in 1867-68. Four females figures stand on a granite block, above them there are eight neo-Baroque branches with lamps, a neo-Renaissance column with allegorical figure of Prague rises above them.
This lamp-post was used until 1985 where the gaslight on Hradčany Square and in Loretánská street was finished as the last location in Prague. In 2005 the lamp-post was repaired and a modern technology of gaslight was installed there. The Prague City Hall intends to re-introduce gas lamp-posts (usually replicas) along the whole Royal Route.

Nerve conduction studies are tests that measure how well individual
nerves can send an electrical signal from the spinal cord to the muscles. Nerve
conduction studies are often used to help diagnose nerve disorders, such as
carpal tunnel syndrome or Guillain-Barré syndrome.
During a nerve conduction test, a health professional places a
shock-emitting electrode directly over the nerve to be studied, and a recording
electrode over the muscles supplied by that nerve. The shock-emitting electrode
sends repeated, brief electrical pulses to the nerve, and the recording
electrode records the time it takes for the muscle to contract in response to
the electrical pulse.
Diagnostic uses for nerve conduction studies include:

Flights to Azerbaijan with Qatar Airways
Azerbaijan, the 'Land of Fire', is something of an enigma. At the crossroads of Asia and Europe, the country has a little something of both continents.
Its strategic location made it the clashing point of many empires, which have all left their influences in this country. Travel to Azerbaijan and explore an exotic and ancient land on the journey to great transformation.
The best place to start a visit to Azerbaijan is in Baku, its ancient capital, whose Old Town is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Sitting on the Caspian Sea, this city showcases old buildings mixed with modern office blocks.
Surrounding the capital is a vast range of deserts that provide a sharp contrast to what's in the city, with surfaces full of wild fiery fumes and mud volcanoes.
The landscapes away from the towns and cities give a real insight into what life used to be like in this region for many thousands of years. The orchards and mud-brick villages are set against a backdrop of the soaring Taurus Mountains.
While you're here, visit Yanardag, called the 'Burning Mountain' because of the fires that come out of the rocks through a slow natural gas leakage that has been going on for thousands of years.
As tourists are rare in most parts of this unique country, you will enjoy more personal space and a chance to see untouched landscapes and timeless cities in peace and comfort.
Visit the Gala Open Air Museum just outside of Baku for fascinating ethnographic displays and reproductions of ancient tents and houses, and soak up the real culture in an interactive experience like carpet weaving and bread making.
Fly to Azerbaijan with Qatar Airways and discover a newly emerging country packed with true natural beauty and with a strong developing commercial centre.

MWC 15 Special
Sure, developers of free apps have to be somehow paid for their work, as web sites have to be somehow paid as well and ads are always an easy way to make some extra money for - very often - high quality apps which are available free of charge from the mobile app markets. However, a less nice side effect was recently documented by researches from the North Carolina State University and Purdue University, Indiana which have found that including ads in apps not only poses privacy and security risks but also figured out that up to 75 % of the energy used by ad-supported free versions of Android apps is spent on serving ads or tracking and uploading user data.
This means that running just one app could drain a smartphone battery in around 90 minutes. The discovery was made after Abhinav Pathak, a computer scientist at Purdue University, and colleagues developed a software to analyze apps' energy usage. When they looked at popular apps such as Angry Birds, Free Chess and NYTimes they found that only 10 - 30 % of the energy was spent for the app's core function.
According to the "NewScientist", in Angry Birds only 20 % of the battery power is used to display and run the game, while 45 % of the energy is wasted to find and upload the user's location with GPS and then downloading location-appropriate ads over a mobile broadband connection. According to the research's findings, the 3G connection stays open for around 10 seconds, even if data transmission is complete, and this - so called - "tail energy" consumes another 28 per cent of the app's energy. Pathak blames the energy leakage on inefficiencies in the third-party code that developers use to generate profit on free apps. He will present the research at the EuroSys conference in Bern, Switzerland, next month.
While North Carolina State University's research wasn't about battery consumption- but privacy concerns-related, the study of 100,000 apps in the official Google Play market noticed that more than half contained so-called ad libraries.
This means that more than 50 % of the apps potentially drain the battery in the background and that this isn't just an Android problem but affects all mobile platforms including Windows Phone and iOS. The bottom line is that developers should either reduce the access of resources, like GPS, etc. to reduce the battery consumption as much as possible or that users should better purchase an add free version of the same app. However, this doesn't mean that ad-free versions are not using access rights for unnecessary tasks because quite often developers leave the core code as it is but just removing the ads from pay-versions.

Can we take it down to about a 4?
The Boston Red Sox are your 2013 World Series Champions. And in case you haven't heard, just look to your left. Or your right. Or up. Or down. You haven't been able to look in any direction without seeing or hearing about "Boston Strong" these past few days, and not one to be a sore sport, congratulations to the Red Sox.
The team that wins the World Series is the best team, and there's no doubt Boston put the best team in baseball on the field in 2013, capping a tremendous turnaround. Any Yankee fan or Red Sox hater would clearly look like an idiot trying to deny the resiliency, power, and fortitude the BoSox put forth this year.
Boston winning the World Series doesn't bother me. However, there is an issue that has gotten underneath my skin, not just as a Yankee fan, but as a baseball fan.
Since the Red Sox clinched the title last Wednesday, the Twitter and Facebook feeds of MLB Network, MLB, and ESPN have gone absolutely berserk. Each social media contingent has gone fawning over Boston's World Series victory – almost to the point of absurdity.
Sure, there was bound to be a lot of chatter on social media the night of and the day after Boston beat St. Louis in Game 6. That's acceptable and inevitable. Yet now, some four (nearly five) days after the fall classic has ended, social media is still abuzz with Red Sox pictures, posts and praise.
It's funny. I do not remember the San Francisco Giants receiving this much laud days after winning it all last year. In 2011 I do not recall the Cardinals being shoved in the MLB fan base's collective face so strongly.
Even in 2009, the Yankees were not worshipped this much by MLB and ESPN. It's almost as if everyone (running these social media sites) believes the 2013 Red Sox represented the second coming of Christ. In fact, I'm not even positive the New York Giants received this much adulation from the world in the days following their upset of the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42.
We understand. We comprehend. We get it. The Red Sox won. Point taken.
Probably the cheesiest picture and aspect of it all was the Twitter account I came across representing the World Series trophy. Yes, a Twitter account made for the World Series trophy. The "trophy" sent out a picture of itself with a fake beard on it, coinciding with the Red Sox trademark, scraggly facial hair this season.
Could you get any tackier, or any more shallow, MLB?
I also found it quite ironic that, on ESPN Baseball Tonight's Facebook page, posted was a photo of Boston celebrating. Adjacent to it was a story with an attached picture of Alex Rodriguez, posing the question, "when his career is over, will Alex Rodriguez have been bad for baseball?"
It should come as no shock. Ever since 2004, a lot of fans have been under a well-founded impression that ESPN does the Red Sox bidding. Something like this only helps prove the point.
When Boston swept Colorado in 2007, it was much easier to take, at least for me. I was a junior at Mercy College in New York with no Facebook and no Twitter. I had no interest in watching Boston win, and only watched briefly during Game 4 when Rodriguez opted out of his contract, a few short innings before Boston went on to win the title.
The Red Sox clinched the '07 World Series on a Sunday night. With an early Monday morning class, I didn't watch any TV; I was not subjected to the agony of watching the Red Sox dog pile, or the pain of the Boston champagne party.
The only tidbit I heard from anyone in 2007 – on Boston's World Series victory – was from a professor, when I arrived at school that Monday. Wearing my Yankee jacket, the prof spotted me with a (bleep)-eating grin and remarked,
"Yankees, huh? I'm from Boston. A Red Sox fan. I'm having a good day today!"
I forced a laugh and replied, "Yeah, man. Live it up."
That was it. Other than that, I heard absolutely nothing about it.
Fast forward to 2013 and it's a totally different story. The advent of Facebook and Twitter did all but whack me over the head with a "Boston Strong" sign. The posts have gotten way out of hand and taking it as far as creating a Twitter account for the trophy is downright ridiculous.
This year took winning the World Series to a new atrocious level – and I mean a whole new level. Boston won. Congratulations Red Sox Nation.
Now, can we "take it down to about a 4" in terms of glorifying the Red Sox?
We can only hope the Yankees are not visiting Fenway Park when the Red Sox receive their rings next season. The Yanks had to suffer in 2005 (for the '04 ceremony), the least the schedule maker can do is keep them away from Fenway for the 2013 ring party.
Then again, looking back on all these tweets and posts, MLB just might give us Yankee fans one final kick in the face for good measure, and schedule the ring ceremony on a day the Yankees are in Beantown.

DURHAM — It was only its second win in the last eight games, but it was enough to give the University of New Hampshire men's hockey team sole possession of first place in Hockey East.
John Henrion had a hat trick, giving him four goals in the last two games, and Casey DeSmith made 25 saves for his fifth shutout of the season as the Wildcats blanked Massachusetts, 4-0, Saturday night at the Whittemore Center.
"The way things shook out here today this was a great opportunity for us," said UNH coach Dick Umile. "I thought the team came out with great jump and went at it early and maintained it for 60 minutes. We didn't let up at all."
The victory, which extended UNH's unbeaten streak to five games (2-0-3), coupled with Boston College's 5-1 loss to Providence, enabled the Wildcats to overtake the Eagles in the league standings.
At least until UMass-Lowell meets Merrimack later today. The River Hawks are one point behind UNH with a game in hand.
"This was a huge opportunity for us," Henrion said, "and I think we took full advantage of it."
The fifth-ranked Wildcats, who improved to 18-8-6 overall and 13-7-5 in Hockey East, had won just one of their previous seven games entering Saturday's contest.
UNH took three of a possible four points out of the weekend series with UMass. It was the Wildcats' first win at the Whitt since Jan. 12.
The loss was the sixth in the last eight games for the Minutemen (11-18-3, 8-15-2 HE).
"I thought we played a full 60-minute hockey game," Henrion said. "We were pretty determined to get two points tonight. With what's going on in the standings around the league it was pretty important that we got this win."
UNH led 2-0 after two periods on a pair of goals by Henrion, who has four goals in the last two games to snap a six-game scoreless drought. He's also tied for the team lead with 13 goals for the season.
"It's good to get back on the board and contribute and help our team win hockey games," Henrion said.
The senior forward also netted the tying goal Friday with less than four seconds remaining in regulation. He added an empty-netter with 27.7 seconds to go in the third period Saturday night.
The Wildcats outshot the Minutemen, 33-25.
"The defense was really good tonight," DeSmith said. "They kept everything to the outside. I really only had to make first saves."
For the first time in eight games the Wildcats scored first Saturday night. Determined backchecking by Nick Sorkin enabled UNH to keep the puck in the UMass zone.
Casey Thrush ultimately poked it free just inside the blue line to set up an odd-man rush with Henrion, who redirected Thrush's centering pass for a 1-0 Wildcat lead at 1:10 of the second period.
"He's playing well," Umile said of Henrion. "We changed the lines around a little bit and had some good combinations. I thought everyone competed hard from the net out. It was a good win for us."
Henrion's second goal came with five seconds left on a power play. He came off the boards with the puck and rifled a wrist shot from the left circle past UMass goalie Steve Mastalerz.
The goal came at 10:43 of the second period with five seconds remaining on a holding penalty to UMass forward Patrick Kiley. Defenseman Brett Kostolansky and Thrush assisted.
"Kosto made a nice play and gave me some ice to walk off the wall," Henrion said. "I couldn't even see the net. I just fired it. Nick and Casey did a great job screening and luckily the puck got through."
It was the Wildcats' sixth power-play goal in the last four games. They went 1 for 4 on the man advantage with 11 shots over the first two periods.
Matt Willows made it 3-0 at 6:06 of the third period on a breakaway for his second goal in two nights and fourth in five games. Kevin Goumas and Kostolansky drew assists.
"I think we battled hard (Friday) night for that point which was huge for the standings," DeSmith said. "We're on top by one point right now. I'm glad we could come out and take care of business today with a convincing win."
The first period was similar to the one Friday night. The Wildcats had most of the offensive chances, but Mastalerz handled them all.
UNH outshot the Minutemen 10-5 in the first, including quality bids by Willows and Henrion.
Mastalerz made a split save with his left leg on Willows' shot from the slot and shortly afterward kicked out Henrion's attempt from the right circle with his right pad.
Each team had two power plays in the first period, but failed to capitalize.
"We were ready in the locker room before the game to come out right from the start and send a message that this was our game," Henrion said. "We weren't going to settle for anything less than two points."

Mississippi lawmakers recently voted to remove the Confederate battle emblem from their state flag. The state's Republican governor signed the decision into law, solidifying another response to ongoing racial reckoning and calls for change. Now the debate continues as some question what the emblem will be replaced with. A commission called to redesign the flag […]
If there's any hope for America, radio talk show host Dr. Laurie Roth is having trouble seeing it.
"Everywhere we look today politicians, media and global elite are severing the traditional and important boundaries of religion, sovereignty, laws and freedoms fought for," she writes on the news site NewsWithViews:
We have big time pastors, such as Pastor Rick Warren of the Saddleback church diving into the sewage of political correctness and compromise. He talks of a Christian and Islamic partnership. He calls Christians and Muslims to work with each other and focus on a social doctrine, namely, spiritual emptiness, corrupt leadership, extreme poverty, disease and illiteracy.
Apparently, in our newfound religion of 'chrislam' we are to ignore the gospel of Christ, which doesn't include Muhammad's vision and oppressive teaching?
At the very least, we are to water down and push to the back room, the unique, gospel message of Jesus. Are we to pretend fundamentalist Islam doesn't want a worldwide caliphate, preach jihad and death to infidels, Christians and Jews.
So, is there anything to this merging of Christianity and Islam? Back in February, there were reports of churches in Houston, Atlanta, Seattle and Detroit calling for an ecumenical reconciliation between Christianity and Islam. In addition to sermons, Sunday school lessons were reportedly being centered on the teachings of the Prophet Mohammad.
"Qurans will be placed in the pews next to the Bibles," wrote Pastor Mike Sanderson in his personal blog:
The concept of Chrislam, now embraced by such preachers as Rick Warren … appears to have emerged from a program on the meaning of "love your neighbor" at Grace Fellowship Church in Atlanta, Georgia, "In 2001, like most Americans, we were pretty awakened to the true Islamic presence in the world and in the United States," says Jon Stallsmith, the outreach minister at Grace Fellowship. "Jesus says we should love our neighbors. We can't do that without having a relationship with them."
Stallsmith maintains that a rapprochement between Muslims and Christians can be achieved by the fact that Jesus is mentioned twenty-five times in the Quran.
The Chrislam movement has gained impetus by statements from President George W. Bush and that Christians, Jews, and Muslims all worship the same God and by Rick Warren's reference to Isa (the Muslim name for Jesus) in his prayer at the inauguration of President Barack Obama.
"The recent political developments and the fact that we're fighting two wars in Muslim countries should sharpen that need to know how to talk to these guys," Stallsmith insists "We want to find peace, reconciliation around a scriptural understanding of Jesus."
Has bestselling author Rick Warren really endorsed a merging of Christianity and Islam?
Televangelist Jack Van Impe recently left Trinity Broadcasting Network as a result of his accusations aimed at Warren, suggesting that Warren is pushing Chrislam. Van Impe points to an Islamic conference in which Warren was a speaker at two years ago as evidence. Others in the Christian community and beyond have repeated the claim.
Did Warren really pray in the "name of Isa?" Here is how he closed his prayer at the Obama Inaguruation:
I humbly ask this in the name of the one who changed my life, Yeshua, Isa, Jesus [Spanish pronunciation], Jesus, who taught us to pray …
Warren then led everyone in the Lord's Prayer. So, has he embraced "Chrislam?" Warren responds flatly that the assertions "are completely incorrect, based on believing 2nd hand false rumors instead of finding out the facts before speaking up. 'Only a fool believes all he hears' (Proverbs 14:15).
Here is what his friend Geoff Surratt posted on Pastors.com:
If you tend to believe everything you read on the internet, often forward "shocking" emails or take anything you "see for yourself on YouTube" as truth, then this post will do nothing to dissuade you from believing that Pastor Rick Warren espouses "chrislam". On the other hand, if you tend to research rumors before you pass them on or try to find the truth about people before attacking them on the internet this post might help.
Let me be very clear: Pastor Rick Warren does not believe in, promote or validate chrislam on any level.
Surratt then quotes Warren:
The so-called "Chrislam" rumor is 100% false. If the guy who started this libelous myth, or anyone else who passed it on, had obeyed our Lord's command (Matt. 18:18-20) to come directly to me, and then asked what I actually believed – they would have been embarrassed to learn that I believe the exact opposite. As a fourth generation Christian pastor, my life and ministry are built on the truth that Jesus is the only way, and our inerrant Bible is our only true authority.
As an evangelist, I spend much of my time speaking to non-Christian groups. You cannot win your enemies to Christ; only your friends, so we must build bridges of friendship and love to those who believe differently so Jesus can walk across that bridge into their hearts. Besides, it is not a sin, but rather COMMANDED by Jesus that we love our enemies. In the past 10 years, Saddleback Church has baptized over 22,000 new adult believers – simply because we express love to those who don't know Christ yet.
It is nonsense to believe that you must compromise your beliefs, or water down your convictions in order to love someone, or even just treat them with dignity.
Jesus was called "the friend of sinners" by the legalistic Pharisees because he hung out with (and clearly loved) unbelievers. I HOPE YOU will
1) Always believe that EVERYONE needs Jesus as their Lord & Savior.
2) Have the courage to associate with nonbelievers in order to love them and bring them to the Savior.
3) Consider being called "a friend of sinners" a Christ-like compliment.
4) Refuse to pass on rumors until you've checked for the truth with the person accused.
God bless you, Rick Warren
Warren's close friend Brandon Cox recently wrote, "Does Rick Warren Endorse Chrislam? No. Period." Although he was tempted to leave it at that, Cox explains:
I'm proud of Pastor Warren for deciding to spend his time and attention on the spreading of the gospel for the redemption of the nations rather than defending himself against every false accusation.
Make no mistake, Rick Warren loves Muslims deeply!!
If you don't, you have a problem with Jesus who loves Muslims even more than Rick does.
