PC Supporter
Tier 4: 01/10/12 - 25/10/12
Tier 5: 26/10/12 - Present
Given to me as a gift for my 20th birthday!
Hi, I'm Hikari10! Although you can just call me Hikari, Hikamaru or Nichole. I'm a 20-year-old female from Sydney, all the way down in Australia. I've been a dedicated Pokemon fan since I was 7, but never played a Pokemon game until I was 11, when I got a GBA SP and Pokemon Ruby. Still have fun memories playing it. I since got a DS Lite in 2008 and started my 4th Generation Pokemon experience with Pearl, followed by Platinum and SoulSilver. Next came when I began playing 5th Generation in 2011 when I got Pokemon Black for my 19th birthday. I eventually got White afterwards, and December 2012 I got myself a 3DS XL and my latest two Pokemon games, Black 2 and White 2. I plan on eventually playing Pokemon X & Y next, and I do hope they turn out to be awesome games!
As far as some of you may not know, I'm PC's resident Oshawott Fangirl! I've been loving that little blue otter since first seeing his cute face in the anime. It's the main inspiration behind a lot of my alternate names, such as Hikamaru (a hybrid of Hikari and Mijumaru, Oshawott's Japanese name) and Daikenki (Japanese name of Oshawott's final evo, Samurott). As of October 1st 2012, I became a Tier 4 Supporter after I was given it as a birthday gift. I have since been upgraded to Tier 5 on October 26th 2012. I love being Supporter, because it means I care more about the community in general.
As far as PC goes, you'll find me most often in the following sections: Pokemon X & Pokemon Y, Fifth Generation Gaming, Fourth Generation Gaming, Advance Generation Gaming, Pokemon Gaming Central, Battle Center, Pokemon Clubs, Pokemon Trivia, Chit Chat & Polls, Forum Games and as of late, The Welcome Lounge.
If you're a new member, I'd love to talk to you! Just send me a VM or friend request and I'll be sure to help you settle in to PC. I will accept all requests, but try to have a worthy conversation with me first. Alongside Pokemon, I also love Australian TV, satirical comedy, and listening to music! My taste is pretty varied so feel free to share whatever music you like with me.

Since Nica, the one who originally posted this list left PC for Smogon I decided to keep it going by recreating the list myself. I managed to get it updated with those who have left staff since then as well as removing those who got remodded since.

Their names...
Helioptile (Elikiteru), the Electric/Normal-type lizard thingy.

University of Arkansas Football to Start Spring Practice
By: University of Arkansas Athletics
Updated: March 6, 2013
The Razorbacks will practice 15 times and conclude workouts with the Red-White Spring Game on April 20 at 2 p.m. inside Donald W. Reynolds Razorback Stadium.
Admission to the spring game is free.
"I've been impressed with the attitude of everyone in our program throughout my first few months at Arkansas," Coach Bielema said. "This time will be one of the first opportunities we will have to come together as a team on the field and evaluation of our student-athletes during this period will be crucial. We will utilize this period to focus one step at a time on preparing for the fall. The support from our fan base has been overwhelming and we are looking forward to working throughout the spring to showcase our efforts to the fans on April 20."

Comments about Prepac Slim Barrister CD DVD Media Storage Tower in Oak and Black:
What's not so great about this item is the backdrop cardboard siding. It was alittle bit too small in the diminsions around the perimeter of the unit.
Slim Barrister Tower
By Colt Starbucks
from Owings Mills, MD
About Me Midrange Shopper
This is a great product. Little on the high side as to price. The one design flaw is the fact that there is a edge which causes a recess on both sides of each shelf. This makes it difficult to use the full shelf without having to remove one or two CDs in order to get the end CD. Otherwise it is a great unit.

Good, functional piece of furniture
By Randy
from Victoria, BC
About Me Musically Inclined, Practical
[...] When opened, one side piece had a chip broken off, but it was on the hidden side and easily glued back in place. There was a silly frontispiece that, if used, would have rendered the top shelf too small for CD cases. We simply left it off. As is, it is attractive, takes up little space, and holds a large number of CD's. The design is similar to our 3-shelf DVD rack, so the two pieces complement each other.

Bethpape and MelvUle on newsstands or $ 4 yearly by mail Vol. 6 No. 52 Second Class Postage has been paid at Parmiagdale, N. Y. 11735 Thursday, August 21, 1969 ^ • • ^ Will Enforce Alcohol Screening Test Law Sept. I Today at 10 a. m., in the auditorium, Police Headquarter's Mineola, the Nassau County Police, the New York State Joint Legislative Committee, and the County Medical Examiner's Office will sponsor a seminar on " Alcohol and Driving," to emphasize the new Alcohol Screening Test Law that police will enforce starting September 1. The new Alcohol Screening Test is mandated by Section 1193- a of # the New York State Vehicle and Traffic Law; " Every person operating a motor vehicle which has been involved in an accident or which is operated in violation of any of the provisions of this chapter shall, at the request of a police officer, submit to a breath test to be administered by the police officer. If such test indicates that such operator has consumed alcohol within three hours of the test, the police officer may require such operator to submit to a chemical test in the manner set forth in section eleven hundred ninety- four of this chapter." To administer the test, police will utilize a portable breath testing kit comprised of a balloon and glass tube packed with chemical crystals. After a driver inflates the balloon by blowing his breath into it, the balloon nozzle is inserted into the chemical tube and the air is allowed to exhaust through the chemicals. Color differences will reflect whether the driver has consumed sufficient alcohol to warrant administration of the breathalyzer test. Commissioner Looney will ask all Licensed Premise operators ( bars and liquor stores) in Nassau County to sell the portable kits to their customers. " We want people impaired by alcohol to be aware of their condition and not get behind the wheel of a vehicle." Looney said, " Our aim in encouraging people to test themselves to see if their drinking has reached the over- indulgence stage, is to help them avoid accidents, arrest or both." Since 1965, the Nassau County Police Department has employed the breathalyzer examination to determine blood- alcohol per cent in impaired drivers. Last year, 742 persons were arrested for driving while impaired or driving while intoxicated. This year, so far, 935 arrests for driving while intoxicated or driving while impaired have been recorded. In nearly all of these cases, the breathalyzer was used. In the future, the new screening law test will be employed in many instances before the breathalyzer examination is conducted. The " Alcohol and Driving" seminar will review the new breath test law, demonstrate the operation of the balloun screening test, and examine proposed legislation which would reduce the alcohol content level and raise minimum standards with respect to alcohol and driving. Recently, the United States Department of Transportation stated that in the U. S. A. over 800,000 accidents and 25,000 deaths each year are traceable to the alcohol impaired driver. 46 Underpriviliged Complete Summer Prep Sessions For College Dr. Charles W. Laffin, Jr., President of State University at Farmingdale will present " graduation" certificates to the 46 students, who completed a seven- week Wider Opportunities Program at Farmingdale, during colorful ceremonies this Friday, August 22, at the College's Little Theatre. The program will start at 1: 00 p. m. The event marks the second " Summer in the Country" campus project designed to provide educational opportunities for underprivileged youngsters, who otherwise would have little opportunity to enter the mainstream of the academic world. The students, who hail from such disadvantaged target areas as New York's Lower East Side, Harlem and the Bronx, Bedford- Stuyvesant and Long Island's Wyandanch and Lawrence, will be enrolled at Farmingdale this September. Dr. Laffin points out that " I'm certain the help these boys and girls received during the special summer study skills program at our college will enable them to carry more adequately the load in the regular Fall curriculum at our College, starting Friday, September 12.

As I mentioned in my post - I was very concerned over buying a new GFX card because of the disaster I had last time I tried it.
In summary, a while ago I bought an nVidia GTX 580. This thing:
I mean look at it. It's like trying to fit a small cottage inside your case.
Putting it onto my motherboard would have literally damaged vital components on the board - since the card was too deep (in terms of slot size). Add to that the enormous power requirements (although I'm told the 7850 doesn't have this problem).
I would be quite happy to swap out my current GFX card, this thing:
With something between the two. Perhaps under £200?
Honestly, I'd shoot for a GTX 560 Ti. All the reviews I've seen have been excellent, it's a fairly beefy card (certainly enough for one 1920x1200 screen) and it should last a while without breaking the bank (this should be sub-200, though I'm no specialist of UK prices).
Yeah, people will keep harping about the latest and greatest 7xxx and 6xx series from AMD and Nvidia, but the thing is... They won't be out for a while yet, there's always a few growing pains initially and prices are going to be higher than past generations because AMD isn't trying to undercut Nvidia anymore; their GCN architecture cost them a lot to put out, so they're looking to cash in. Unless you absolutely need the top dog, I'd suggest going for that. Prices might go down a little bit when Nvidia releases their new generation, but we don't know when exactly those are going to hit retailers. Furthermore, Nvidia has a habit of taking their time to release the best value-for-money cards. Their 8800GT was a second generation card within the 8xxx family, just like the 560 Ti is also some sort of half-step.
However, considering what you've said, changing the water cooling should be just as urgent if not more. Your GPU running hot is not all that unusual, Nvidia's few last generations are all hot cards, but your water cooler failing is bad. Really bad. Honestly, unless you're doing some really heavy overclocking, why not strip all that out and go for a nice and simple air cooler? Something from Noctua can really blow you away, like this NH-U12P SE2 that I happen to have. Comes with support for all Intel sockets from 775 onwards plus all modern AMD sockets. It also comes with excellent instructions (much better than any I've seen) and superb thermal paste. Just make sure it fits!
Thanks for the helpful insights. I'm definitely not necessarily after the absolutely latest-and-greatest. And to be honest, not many games out now would even take advantage of the full brute force of the card beyond what would be considered overkill. If I can get a steady 30 fps out of a game running at max, or close to max resolution, I'm happy. I don't mind trimming back some of the settings to get the right balance.
One thing I would note is that most people consider a game only to be running on 'max everything' if you're including maximum FSAA and 16xAF. Running at 1920 x 1200, I think games are crisp enough not to worry about FSAA. And although 16xAF looks really nice, it doesn't really matter to me. That means I can get more bang for my buck with other settings.
I chuckle when I remember back when I splashed out on a Voodoo 5 card - with its new fangled anti aliasing chip. I was in the future!
Circumstances have found themselves slightly more favourable, and it's looking like a new machine is probably in the pipeline.
One question, would this machine be decent enough to last me, perhaps, another couple of years as my current machine has?
Thanks guys!
Basically yes, those specs are reasonable. I would up the memory to 8GB and the processor to a 2500k for not much additional cost.
What do you want from your case in terms of looks / size / silence / price?
It might be of interest to you that small cases like Fractal Design Core 1000 and Silverstone SG08 (which are easier to transport and are easier on the eye in living spaces compared to regular midtowers) have evolved into valid options even for powerful PCs. Not sure if that particular company would build a gaming machine with mini-ATX motherboard, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I'm really itching to build a new PC precisely so that I can LAN with it or stick it on the same shelves with other home AV equipment. I have never needed the extra space in any of my midtowers, and now that I'm getting to the point in my life where I'm spending actual money on furniture and interior, a big honking monolith of a tower in the middle of it is just wrong.

I'm currently using this thing:
(iPhone included for scale!)
This is the CoolerMaster HAF case, standing at around 230 x 599 x 550 mm.
Ideally, I'd like something smaller-form than that.
The machine I linked to earlier (http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/view/V...750-gaming-pc/) has a case with dimensions: 191 x 437 x 468 mm, so a bit smaller, which would be nice.
They do sell 'small format' machines (what they call Mini PCs), which are here: http://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/comput...-spec-mini-pc/, but as usual I'm not entirely sure what would pass as a reasonably decent gaming machine for my budget (around a max of £700-800). Having a mini machine handle that task would be amazing, but for reasons of cooling and overheating I'm reticent to make a move into that format of PC, unless anyone knows whether it's worthwhile.
Some of the mini cases aren't designed for handle power, while some - like the ones I referred to - have no overheating issues even with the ultra-high-end GPUs. Of those two cases the Core 1000 is cheap while the SG08 is out of your current budget.
Only you know whether the benefits of a smaller case are worth it, but functionally you shouldn't lose anything besides the ability to stuff in more components.

The only thing I'll say about the size of the case is: if you like or want to tinker with the innards, do yourself a favor and get a nice roomy case. My last computer had an Antec 900 and while it was an excellent case, it felt slightly cramped. My current desktop has an NZXT Phantom and the difference it makes it astounding. I can finally see inside the case! Plus, I wouldn't have been able to fit my Noctua cooler in anything smaller, yet it's all extremely quiet and has plenty of space to pass wires behind the panel. Of course some of the small cases are very well designed, but you simply can't have the same feel in a case half the size.
Now if you're not interested in toying with it, then by all means get a smaller case!
I think then, all things considered, case size isn't really going to be a hugely important factor for me. Yes, smaller form PCs take up less room - but I suppose there are also compromises where noise is concerned, seeing that larger cases generally take larger / slower fans. The HAF case I have is a good example - not too noisy, mostly on account of the extremely large top / side fans.
I think I'll go with the Vortex 750. It comes with an i5-2400, which is naturally a little better than my existing i5-750 (benchmark tests show improvements in speed across the board, but the difference only seems to be between 10-20%, so not huge).
The bonus is that it also comes with a 2GB AMD Radeon 7850, which is seems like a really nice card. The combination of those factors makes it seem like a worthy purchase to me, perhaps moreso given that the machine comes with 4GB ram as standard - although I may consider upping that to 8GB.
Thanks to everyone who replied, offered advice and helped me out with this decision. For a total all-in price of £640.83 (I can get the VAT off) I think that's a pretty darn good deal for a whole new box.
I don't want to force your hand here, but just be aware that the i5-2500K is much better value than just about any processor in Intel's lineup (with the possible exception of the 2600K for those who do a lot of thread-heavy work). Why?
Because on top of the small bonus in base clock speed, you get the K, which means unlocked multiplier. I know you don't need to overclock to have good performance on Sandy Bridge, but keep in mind that a 2500K can easily gain 500MHz on air, making the 2500K go from 3.3 to 3.8GHz with just the flick of a switch. My extremely conservative overclock puts it at 4.3GHz, a whopping 1GHz higher!
Considering unlocked multipliers were usually reserved for the "Extreme" classifications which cost upwards of a grand and are usually maxed out already anyway, this is just superb value for money. Right now it might not mean much, but in two or three years the difference can be most interesting.
Just something to keep in mind. Congrats on your purchase in any case!
Thanks for the helpful info FF. The difference in cost between the 2400 and the 2500K is, astonishingly, £20. Considering all that you've told me, it seems I'd be foolish not to throw in the extra few quid for the potential bonuses available.
However, I'm always cautious with approaching OC setups. Having that extra juice is good - but won't I need to also start considering improving cooling options too? Much as I like to get good performance for money, if it means I'm going to have to start swapping other components around because of this slight upgrade (if I were to use the OC options as you mentioned), then it sounds like it's going to be more hassle than it's worth for my needs, perhaps?
Either way, it's something to think about. Thanks!
You guys are awesome, thanks! I'm posting a thread about this shortly, since it's worthy of a mention.
If you want to be able to plan for overclocking, you should also plan ahead with your CPU cooling option. I'm not familiar with the Titan brand of coolers, but either of the available choices should be a sufficient improvement over the stock Intel cooler. The cheaper one is only £19, but if you think you may want to really push for the best overclock possible with the 2500K, then either the FENRIR EVO (£39 upgrade option) or the Hyper 212 mentioned by kalelovil on the previous page (£29 at eBuyer, though I've no clue about their shipping and you'll have to installed later) should easily do the trick.
I'll second the suggestion of upping the RAM to 8GB. For the small price difference, you're much more future-proofed in the same way that you are by going with the 2500K over the 2400.
I'll also second the suggestion of upgrading to an SSD for your boot drive and the difference between the 80GB SATA 3Gbps and the 120GB SATA 6Gbps is somehow only £23 for 50% more capacity and FAR better performance. The 120GB SSD only raises total price by £55 and will make a massive difference in boot time for Windows, making it much more possible to have a bunch of stuff auto-load at startup. It will also improve game load times for any that are installed on the SSD and will improve overall system responsiveness quite noticeably. By upgrading my boot drive from a SATA 1.5Gbps HDD to a SATA 6Gbps SSD, EVERYTHING is just faster. HDDs don't really gain much performance by using faster SATA connections even if you've got a 10k RPM Raptor. And my current mobo only has SATA 3Gpbs ports, so the increase in performance will be even greater when I finally upgrade it. Storage drives are at their most expensive in a long time and it's across the board, so you won't likely find a better time to go with an SSD since you're already buying a system with a new drive. You can use your current HDD or any older one for data storage.
So with four upgrades to the base Vortex 750, you can get a helluva system that should definitely be a nice gaming machine for at least as long as your current one has (probably longer) and for £745.
Edit: Missed the topic saying pixelprime had already bought his new PC. Oh well!

Elderly woman ordered to floor during home invasion near Azusa
By Brian Day and Ruby Gonzales, SGVN twitter.com/sgvcrime, twitter.com/rubygonzales2
Two men ordered an elderly woman to the floor during a home-invasion late Wednesday night and fled with $500 and jewelry, authorities said.
Sgt. Pete Shupe of the sheriff's San Dimas station said the 82-year-old resident wasn't injured during the home invasion robbery in the 18600 block of Mauna Loa Avenue, in an unincorporated county area near Azusa.
Around 7 p.m., he said the resident was at home when two men entered through a window. They ordered her to lie on the ground and not move, Shupe said.
Though unharmed, the elderly victim was "traumatized" by the encounter, Lt. Andy Berg said.
He said the robbers ransacked the place and left with the cash and jewelry. They were last seen in a newer model 4-door silver or gold Infiniti sedan driven by a third suspect.
The two robbers were described as Latinos, 17 to 18. There was no description available for the getaway driver.
"She couldn't give us much more (description) than that, because they ordered her to not look at them," Berg said.
Berg said the men first knocked on the woman's door before coming through the window, but she did not answer. The crooks likely did not realize the home was occupied when they
Detectives were looking into the possibility that the same intruders were responsible for another break-in the same day at a vacant home about four blocks away in the 19000 block of Mauna Loa Avenue, Berg said.
The burglary took place between 3 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday, however investigators believed it likely occurred prior to the 7 p.m. home-invasion, the lieutenant said. A door was kicked open, however nothing was found stolen from the house, which was empty.
Though a concrete link between the two crimes had not been established, the proximity and time frame of the break-ins led authorities to suspect they were related, Berg added.

You're probably sick of all of this stuff about Tahiti. Blah Blah Blah. Yes, I know. I mean, it's been over a month since we got back. I really haven't had much time to blog as of late. I apologize! I'm a horrible blogger. :(
Anyway, in the first week that we got to Tahiti, we were able to take a bus tour around the island.
With a few stops here and there, it took us about 5 hours to take the main road that goes all the way around. We stopped at a waterfall, saw an abandoned lighthouse, swam in a grotto, and even had time to eat at the Mcdonalds in Tahiti.
Here are some bus shots from my window:
First, we stopped at Point Venus:
We walked on a pretty nature trail:
Then, we went to a grotto filled with lilipads:
Stuck our feet in the water of a hollowed cave on the other side:
And we even ate at Mcdonalds for lunch! (Totally had to). It was actually pretty good. Notice the Mcbagette! Pretty pricey at $22 though. -_-
All in all, it was the perfect day! We got to see the entire island from the view of an air conditioned tour bus. Totally worth the $50.

His song is one of the enduring anthems of the turbulent 1960s, a soulful call to action awash in a psychedelic wave of sound.
It has appeared in more than 100 movies and TV shows, even a multimillion-seller video game, and has been covered by artists from Sheryl Crow to Joan Jett to The Ramones.
So, decades later, what does Lester Chambers have to show for "Time Has Come Today"?
So little that, early this year, the 72-year-old found himself posting a photo online. In it, he held a poster declaring that he was living on Social Security and charity, having gone nearly 30 years before seeing his first, paltry royalty check.
The poster was taped to one of his gold records.
"It's been a long journey," said Chambers, who said he never blew his money on drugs or booze like so many artists before and after. "I have not understood what happened yet and how it happened."
But now, through a series of events only possible in the digital age, he's getting a chance to start again -- this time making and selling music on his own terms.
"We've got a lawyer now," Chambers said. "It's called the computer."
"Time Has Come Today" was a pop hit for The Chambers Brothers, spending five weeks on the Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1968 and peaking at No. 11. The group, which shared the stage with the likes of Jimi Hendrix, Janis Joplin and The Doors, would fail to match its success again .
But it became emblematic of the political and social upheaval of the late '60s and would be used for decades to invoke the spirit of that era. As recently as last year, it was used in a pivotal scene in "Homefront," a military-style video game that has sold somewhere around 3 million copies.

Great news. Great kid, great player, great family, hopefully soon to be great Sooner!!!!!
Named my first born after his father
Watched the videos. His manerisms and upright running style remind me a lot of Brandon Jones.
DAAAYUUM, That kid is fast!
I wonder what type of jaw configuration we're looking at here? How does Sterling's jaw alignment stack up against Darryl and Derrick's?Originally Posted by Soonerp
A strong one. Like he would bite the fingers off a smart**** internet poster. :lol:Originally Posted by ElGuapoSooner
Was this originally a Dale Rich or Ooner observation? I can't remember. I want to say Ooner threw this out there with Smoke Patterson and that's where it all started.Originally Posted by Soonerp
What are OU's chances?? I would think pretty good, but does anybody have any good information about him?
This would be a nice 3rd commit. Making in-roads in-state is always a good sign.
Looks just like Broyles at Norman high 5 years ago. Hope like hell he comes on down.

Heritage Hall's Sterling Shepard: Scholarship offer from OU �means a lot'
Heritage Hall's Sterling Shepard has also received offers from Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Kansas State. He said he plans on attending the Junior Days at Notre Dame and Clemson in the upcoming weeks.
BY ROBERT PRZYBYLO, Staff Writer, firstname.lastname@example.com Oklahoman 3
Published: February 10, 2011
Heritage Hall junior wide receiver Sterling Shepard was already having a nice birthday Thursday afternoon when he got the best gift yet.
The Chargers star was offered a scholarship by the University of Oklahoma. Shepard now has five offers.
But the Sooners' invitation means a little bit more, obviously, because of the Shepard family connection to OU.
Shepard's father, Derrick, was a star wide receiver for the Sooners and played in the NFL. His uncles, Woodie and Darrell, also played football for OU.
�Oh yeah, it's great to have gotten this offer,� Shepard told The Oklahoman on Thursday. �OU has been like my second family. It definitely means a lot.�
Despite the offer, it won't accelerate his thought process. Shepard has said in the past that he plans on being patient before making his commitment.
Shepard has also received offers from Notre Dame, Oklahoma State, Missouri and Kansas State. He said he plans on attending the Junior Days at Notre Dame and Clemson in the upcoming weeks.
�I've missed out on some Junior Days because of the weather and school stuff, but I definitely hope to get out to more of them,� Shepard said.
Shepard was a break out star this year for Heritage Hall. After a concussion-filled sophomore year, Shepard made some changes and stayed healthy as a junior.
When star running back Barry J. Sanders went down with a foot injury, coach Andy Bogert ran the same type of offense with Shepard as the team had run with former Heritage Hall star and current New England Patriots wide receiver Wes Welker.
Shepard was an all-around threat in helping the Chargers win the 2010 state championship. Most schools view him as a wide receiver though he is also receiving attention as a defensive back.
Not long after OU offered, Notre Dame heard, so now they want to talk him again today. My source says he is solid on OU.
Figures, from reading the article in The Oklahoman it sounds like he plans on attending ND's junior day.....Originally Posted by SnakeDoctor
Glad we offered!!
Looks like a Ryan Broyles clone, only a touch faster. Hope his hands are as good....
I feel like people often make comparisons way too flippantly, but, damn, he really does look like Broyles!
He reminds me alot of Reggie Smith. Maybe it's just the # 3 though.
Has he committed yet???....... :sarcasm
It was ooner. The most important ****et a recruit could possibly possess.Originally Posted by ElGuapoSooner
ESPN the Mag had an article on him and Barry Sanders Jr. in their recruiting magazine....he says that he is not very fast but has great hands. His uncles say they remind him of his father in every aspect of the game. He compared himself to him saying his dad wasn't fast but had great vision and knew where to be and where to go. When Derrick played, I was just starting to watch and not really old enough to be looking for players attributes like that. For those of you that remember him, how do those statements hold up?
Hopefully, Shepard won't cost us a trip to the BCS NC with a muffed punt.Originally Posted by BleeOU1

I'm glad to have him on board!

County Makes Pitch For School Construction Money
Officials from around Maryland head to Annapolis to compete for a share of $336 million in school construction money at the annual gathering known as beg-a-thon.
State House Insiders and veterans call it "beg-a-thon." Gov. Martin O'Malley once tried to re-name it with the more pleasant sounding "hope-a-thon." And on Wednesday, the tradition begins anew as officials from around the state appear before the state Board of Public Works, hat in hand, seeking funding for school construction and renovation projects. Last week, County Executive Kevin Kamenetz charged county delegates and senators with "ensuring that the county gets its fair share." Baltimore County Public Schools Superintendent S. Dallas Dance will make his first appearance before the board made up of O'Malley, state Treasurer Nancy Kopp and Comptroller Peter Franchot. Gov. Martin O'Malley has proposed $336 million for school construction …

Small Medical Offices Biggest Risk to Patient Data Security, Privacy
Small physician practices, much like their small commercial business counterparts, have been the primary source of health care related data breaches, according to an analysis of breaches from 2009 to October 2012 released today by the Health Information Trust Alliance (HITRUST).These smaller medical offices, usually well under 100 employees, lack the IT or information security resources to adequately deal with a wide array of cybercriminals eyeing electronic health records and personal information that has considerable value in the black market.Since the passing of the HITECH act in 2009 and the mandatory notification of breaches of health care

How 2% of Global GDP Can Trigger Sustainable Growth and Fight Poverty Investing just 2% of global GDP into ten key sectors can kick-start a transition towards a low carbon, resource efficient Green Economy, asserts the Green Economy Report. If backed by appropriate policies at the national and global levels, this growth would be possible without increasing risks, shocks, scarcities and crises inherent in the existing, resource-depleting, high carbon 'brown' economy. This groundbreaking report uses economic analysis and modeling using Millennium Institute's Threshold 21 model to demonstrate that greening the economy across the agriculture, buildings, energy, fisheries, forestry, industry, tourism, transport, waste management and water sectors can drive economic recovery and growth and lead to future prosperity and job creation, while at the same time addressing social inequalities and environmental challenges. The report explains the core principles and concepts underlying a green economy and makes the case for the more sustainable use of natural, human and economic capital. It examines the actions governments can take to facilitate the transition to a Green Economy and the key policy tools and supporting infrastructure that can influence investment and consumption decisions. The Report is targeted at decision-makers and seeks to influence business leaders, and explain in simple terms, the need for increased environmental investments to promote sustainable economic growth, generate employment, reduce poverty and increase quality of life.

France profit from moment of madness
15 Oct 2011
JON CARDINELLI writes that a reckless Welsh tackle proved to be the catalyst for an unlikely 9-8 World Cup semi-final win for France.
Up until the 18th minute of Saturday's play-off at Eden Park, Sam Warburton had been one of the standouts for Wales and indeed one of the stars of the 2011 tournament. Sadly, the young Wales captain will not be remembered for his impressive displays against South Africa in the pool stages and Ireland in the quarter-final, but rather for one brainless tackle that would jettison the Dragons from the global tournament.
Wales were in firm control for much of the first quarter. While their scrum struggled against a lighter but technically superior French eight, they enjoyed the majority of possession and territory, and went to a 3-0 lead in the eighth minute thanks to the boot of James Hook.
France took a pounding at the collisions. Dimitri Yachvili floated a pass to Vincent Clerc well behind the gain line, and this proved to be the game-changing moment, as Warburton, in his enthusiasm to make the hit and possibly force the turnover, lifted Clerc beyond the horizontal and then let the winger fall to ground. Referee Alain Rolland brandished the mandatory red card, and as good as Wales had looked, they were always going to struggle to hang on for 62 minutes with only 14 men.
France used the numerical advantage to good effect at scrum time, but were woefully bad in general play. Morgan Parra had kicked them to a 6-3 lead by half-time, but it was the short-handed Wales that continued to control possession and territory. The French backs battled to field the high balls launched by the Wales halfbacks, and when they did, they often made some shocking decisions which allowed Wales to regain the pill.
It was here where Wales needed to make the best of a bad situation. Hook had done brilliantly to slot his first penalty attempt from the touchline, but proceeded to fluff two subsequent shots from midfield, as well as a drop-goal attempt. France were far too loose towards the end of the first stanza and may have scored more points had they kept it close, but Wales may also have gone to the break in the lead if they had kicked their goals.
Parra bisected the uprights in the 49th minute, but the plucky Welsh refused to lie down. They continued to pressure the French back three, and the tactical substitution of Stephen Jones had the desired effect as they played smarter and tighter. While they had wasted opportunities in the first 40, they took the first chance available to them when Mike Phillips breezed through the French defence for an important try. Tellingly, Jones missed the ensuing conversion to allow France to maintain a slender 9-8 lead.
At times the Tricolores looked like the team with the one-man disadvantage. They were guilty of being too casual in some instances, and too frantic in others. It's the type of performance many would have expected after their strong showing against England, as they have a reputation for inconsistency. They battled to put a 14-man Wales side away, and in the end, they were the side that held on for the win.
It was always going to be too much to ask of a Wales side one man short. It would have been remembered as one of the great victories had they finished a multiphase attack at the death, but unfortunately it will go down in history as a game they lost in the 18th minute when their captain received his marching orders. Three missed penalty-attempts (Leigh Halfpenny didn't have the distance with a 50m shot in the 76th minute) and a missed conversion, also cost them dearly.

15 Oct 2011, 17:16 pmMpundulu the United States have a history of slavery, civil rights, kkk, "wc only for whites" etc etc etc and they never had cuotas, at least in sports.
15 Oct 2011, 17:16 pmWooden spoon: because the team represents a country it's subject to the affirmative action policy standard that the government has instituted. The notion of merit in south Africa is undermined by the country's history, you can't argue that only the very best can have the opportunity to play for the boks, when that very best is primarily white and they've had the coaching, equipment (tools), etc etc owing to a system that was geared to them being a cut above those people of colour. The cost of this is affirmative action which will be a mainstay of sporting policy in SA for a very long time.
15 Oct 2011, 17:20 pmWooden spoon: people in political everywhere in the world manipulate the system, it's the nature of the beast. You can cry about it but all that'll happen is they'll use a different mechanism to get the same result.
15 Oct 2011, 17:20 pm'Clash of the Titans'
so little significance in the long history of Rugby Union until the
deified it with their Holy presence.
15 Oct 2011, 17:22 pmTomorrow is Clash of the Islanders. 7′s here we come.
15 Oct 2011, 17:22 pm@mpundulu(mpundulu)-602: Doubt it. Putting the past behind us and striving to be the best we can be as collective SOUTH AFRICANS will achieve far more.
Continuing to label people by their race is archaic and no better than what happened in the past. Unity, not division is required.
As far as I know, SA is the only country to implement affirmative action in favour of the majority. It's a temporary measure.
Any protracted use of this racist policy will simply be a result of the failure of the majority government to deliver on any of their promises to the majority (an excuse for failure, in other words).
15 Oct 2011, 17:23 pmMarkel: in the us they did not need it in sports, black sporting skills was commercialized before blacks got the vote. Major league sport is big business mate, and blacks are the backbone of sports.
15 Oct 2011, 17:27 pmWooden spoon: reversing over 400 years of institutional racism won't happen over night. Affirmative action is here to stay for a very long long time. Talking of the majority benefiting from affirmative action policies, how do you treat the fact that white women in the us who constitute the biggest percentage of the us population are the biggest beneficiaries of the policy?
15 Oct 2011, 17:27 pmGreat White has a point. The majority of the Bokke women are black. what strange. ¿are the black male south africans the only disavantaged group in South Africa?
¿and the cuotas for the indians? -
15 Oct 2011, 17:30 pmThe longer Affirmative Action is allowed to carry on the more money is disappearing out of State and local government coffers.
At last count South African tax money stolen by the ANC has now run into a few billion dollars that has somehow 'disappeared'.
The playing field was levelled up to 2040. There won't be anything left to level in a few years when it all dries up.
15 Oct 2011, 17:49 pmGreat white shark: the political market will correct itself, it'll pull itself into line and ensure that corruption is far more organized, they'll as time goes legitimate their stealing like they do in the US.
15 Oct 2011, 17:55 pm@mpundulu(mpundulu)-611: Perhaps it will just go the way of every other African country [much closer to home than the U.S].
Banana republic.
15 Oct 2011, 18:59 pmso we'll have aa in sport until the underpriviledged kids get all the latest sports equipment?
eish, comrades have been spinning you a good one.
the enlightened africans on this continent are calling for an end to the excuses of colonialism etc and time the leaders admitted the woes of the people are largely of their own making. -
15 Oct 2011, 19:05 pmoh no my chum.
these boys here are going for it wholesale.
15 Oct 2011, 22:40 pm@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-606:
"Putting the past behind us and striving to be the best we can be as collective SOUTH AFRICANS will achieve far more. "You have another solution instead of just not agreeing with what is currently on the table?
Puty it out there.
Not generic kak. give us specific solutions.
"As far as I know, SA is the only country to implement affirmative action in favour of the majority. It's a temporary measure."
So, you are saying that AA should be geared towards the minority (read whites)?
15 Oct 2011, 23:52 pm@wooden spoon(wooden spoon)-409:
"If the Fakes like NZ so much they should fark off to NZ."Such a STUPID argument. Telling people to leave SA if they don't love everything about SA.
Where are you going? There are some things about SA that YOU don't like/love, isn't there?
@Great White Shark(Predawn)-411:
"Good point. If New Zealand lost on a regular basis one wonders if so many South africans would support them."No, they would not have. The reason why they are not big supporters of England, Ireland, Aus (except in cricket)
Facts are, people supported teams who could beat your people (read whites) in the past. Going by the drivel a guy like YOU posts on this site sometimes, many may feel that nothing has changed since then Why then, do you blame them for not making that paeadign shift?
People like you are the very reason WHY some people don't want to cross that Rubicon.
Pundy vs about four clever white okes and beating them hands down without once having to lower himself to personal insults or doubting their credentials (:have you ever been to that countries>")Good on you Mpundulu.
Keep them on their toes.
16 Oct 2011, 00:42 am@Great White Shark(Predawn)-590:
you seem to have picked on a site that had the right information……for you.In fact i found the List that was made in October 2011 of the best cities to live and have a career.
Top 10 does not have a SA city.
Actaully #10 was Auckland.
I can find 100s of sites with the best cities and they all differ.
Looks like you found the one you like and posted it.
Which makes the rest of your stuff you have said on here very questionable -
16 Oct 2011, 00:50 amIts great to see so many South Africans attacking Mpundulu cos he is different.
Isnt this what got SA in trouble in the first place.
Has this nation changed at all?Its amazing what you all do and say just because your Bok team lost.
All this because the Boks were not good enough to win.
Most the same guys crying on here were giving us rubbish about complaining about Barnes in 2007.
And too right as well, we were silly and didnt notice that the ABs blew it many a times.
But what you guys on here have done is gone the next step of stupidity, is turn on people that have a different opinion in numbers, blame IRB for match fixing, blame the POB for corruption. I never have seen such a sour lot in my life. -
16 Oct 2011, 01:40 am@mudrockshark(mudrockshark)-529: Eh? How is it they we have dished up a clanger – what part of last night – other than the game being played here – were we responsible for any of this?
16 Oct 2011, 01:52 amsad for wales? no not really. Warburton f'd up, they missed multiple shots at goal – cardinal sin, they had plenty of possession, but lacked creativity as a team, their try was made of one mans risk and another mans tired tackle.
France defended admirably – they did, its what they did to us in 07. France kept Wales away as much as they could from being within striking distance to secure a drop goal attempt.
Watch the game again without the beers and jeers, and you will see France did what they knew they had to do to win – that was all that was required. Yep, they let it run real close, too close almost, but they got home, they backed themselves, and they played to the ref.
What was the last penalty awarded to Wales for? Should have been a penalty to France. The Welsh man gathered the ball whilst laying on the ground, he should have returned to his feet, then get the ball after France 7 had gone through, and left the ball behind, then France 3 attempted the pick up, but Wales 5 held on – surely a penalty to France?
16 Oct 2011, 08:00 amso many games ruined by awful officials…..none more than this game [ a semi ] and last weeks Boks aussie game [ a quarter ]….throw in the Samoa….Bok game for good measure….bad man…very bad!
16 Oct 2011, 08:25 am@grant10(grant10)-621: Agreed,
I post regularly about my wish for an upcoming game to be decided by legitimate on field display and not by some controversial reffing decision or incident that the ref missed.
I have posted this prior to Super Rugby games, Tri Nations tests and now my worst nightmare came true in the QF.
Wales have felt it now too.
They were the best team in that half of the draw, and it's sad that they didn;t get a crack at the final.
The French, on current form, will be no match for whichever team wins the upcoming Semi.
Basically the next game is the final.
Let's hope that it's also not negatively influenced by the officials.

Its all happened before in RWC 2007. -
16 Oct 2011, 08:33 am@Hurricane(Hurricane)-623: True, and I'm not unaware of that, I watched that game too. Sucks to have a decision like that influence the game.
