Here's a fun game the family can make for St. Patrick's Day or any day of the year. We made ours green but you could use any color. It's a fun original game created by our ZiggityZoom creative director. Easy to make and easy to play.... for kids and adults.
Items needed:
MAKING the GAME :
What You Need:
- 12 smooth stones/rocks (or make 12 smooth rocks out of clay that you bake) You can also use plastic disks or make Cardboard disks.
- Green paint (optional)
- Brush
- Marker or stick on Letters
What to Do:
- Gather the 12 items you have chosen for your Wishing Rocks.
- Paint green, if so desired.
- Using marker (or stick on letters), put 2 letters each for I - R - S - H (make an additional "i" letter).
- Leave 1 Rock blank and draw a Shamrock on the other 2 remaining rocks.
- Put Rocks into container or Sock to start the game.
The object of the game is to get all the letters that spell Irish. I-R-I-S-H The first person who can spell Irish, by "wishing" and choosing, wins the game. Fun for kids of all ages.
- Each player is given a piece of paper and pencil. For ease of play with young children, draw the letters I-R-I-S-H on their paper, spaced apart just a bit. When a player gets a letter, they can then just circle that letter.
- Put Wishing Rocks into a container that is deep enough so players can\'t see the rocks. Or use a large sock.
- Starting with the youngest player first, player will first say his wish ...for example, "I wish for an H"
- Player then pulls out a Wishing Rock. If they got their wish then they can circle that letter. The rock is then put back into the container.
- Play contines as each player takes their turn.
- If a player pulls out a Shamrock they can circle any letter that they still need. If a player pulls out a blank rock, the player must skip his next turn.
- The first player to circle all the letters to spell Irish is the winner.

Should have warned you….Thursday, December 16th, 2010
So, I feel I should have warned anyone who may actually be checking this blog that I fail at keeping up with these things. I've never been able to keep a diary/journal or even my own blog… so I don't really know why I though I could keep up with one this time. So, I'm sorry to anyone who has checked back here only to find nothing new for months. As my new years resolution, I will try to better next semester…
But, on to my life in Paris. Our 3 months here flew by. Classes finished on the 8th, and we had an official "graduation ceremony" on the 11th. Good news is we all passed- yea! Mel left on the 14th (to go home to get married), and Jamie left this morning. It's going to be a tad lonely around the apartment now. Even though I know that staying here over Christmas will ultimately help my language acquisition, and not having to go through culture shock twice in a month is a good thing, but I still wish I could have gone home. Its hard to be so far from family and friends over the holidays. The city is beautiful though. There are lights everywhere, and most places have trees up. I even bought a small tree for the apartment.
The hardest thing about the winter here is seeing all the homeless. They are here all year round, but in the summer, they can be almost anywhere in the city (parks, benches, sidewalks…) but now that its freezing outside, they tend to congregate in the metro stations since they are heated. I have decided that living in a big city, and seeing homeless people daily can really turn you into a cynical person. It's so hard to know who really needs your help and who is trying to scam you. In the States, I would have said I'm a compassionate person, but being here has brought out a side of me I never knew existed. It takes conscious effort to feel sympathy for most of the people here asking for handouts. It can be so hard to feel bad for the half-drunk men peeing in a corner of the metro station. But, as difficult as it is, it is what we are called to do. It is not our job to judge them, to judge their mistakes and blame them; while their problems may be of their own doing, that is not what God told us to do. He told us to love them, and have compassion on them; to help those who (for whatever reason) are in need. what would happen if we stopped looking past them, and started looking at them? What if I stop assuming that my money will go towards alcohol and instead leave that between them and God. Someone once told me, when I asked how he could just hand someone 20 bucks and not assume it will go towards drugs or alcohol, the we will each be judged by our hearts and actions- you will be credited for your goodwill and generosity, and the receiver will be judged by how the money is spent; but that should never be a reason not to give. That doesnt mean go around handing out money willy-nilly, but you should also never ignore the prompting of the spirit. Sorry if this is a bit heavy, and rambling- they are thoughts that have been floating around my head for the past few weeks, and they have been a bit hard to pin down.
Anyway, I hope all the Gracies have a wonderful Christmas break. Rest up and get ready for the new semester. I don't know if I will write again before the new year, but if not, I will let you know when I get settled into Dijon (I leave Paris at the end of December).

As a research specialist at Quest Diagnostics, George Woodrow III needed to develop real-time process-control systems to modernize the traditional quality control practices used by the clinical laboratory.
Woodrow uses Mathematica to develop effective algorithms and explore the true performance of the systems, as well as to help explain to his colleagues how the algorithms work. Woodrow says, "This gives them a way of understanding what's going on in terms that they understand without having to understand all of the details, and this is a critical breakthrough."
Woodrow says Mathematica has been key in greatly minimizing the laboratory's error rate. "Our error rate, in terms of sending incorrect results to our clients, has decreased by four orders of magnitude. So we used to have 10 to 15 errors a day in our laboratory. Now, it's 2 or 3 every year, and that's a big advantage."

April 25, 2009
EUGENE, Ore. -- The Oregon Relays continued Saturday afternoon at historic Hayward Field, and the Gauchos continued to improve their marks with only three weeks remaining until the Big West Championships.
The action on the track was highlighted by Ryan Martin improving his 800m time to 1:49.35, which moves him up to fourth on the Gaucho all-time list. He placed sixth in Section 1, where all eight runners finished sub-1:52.
Barbara Nwaba was the winner of Section 2 in the 400m hurdles, edging two runners at the line to clock a time of 62.01. Nwaba moves up to fifth on the Gaucho all-time 400m hurdles list. She also tied for second in the high jump with a clearance over 5-5.75 (1.67m). Christina Nowak cleared that bar as well.
In the shot ring, Scott Anderson improved to 57-7.50 (17.56m), just over half-a-foot shy of his UCSB record of 58-2. Anderson placed second in the meet, and will likely retain his position at second on the Big West list.
The men's 4x400m relay had their best showing of the season, with their time of 3:13.39 good for fourth in the meet. The squad of Max Bellissimo, Jason Newland, Alvin Go and Ryan Martin move up a spot on the Conference list, now holding the fourth-best time in the Big West. They are only .09 away from the third position.
Saturday's competition was staged in front of a meet record crowd of 6,901.
Next Saturday, May 2, the Gauchos will be hosting a dual meet against Cal Poly. The meet will take place at Pauley Track on the UCSB campus. Schedules and entries will be posted on UCSBgauchos.com later in the week.

Toyota Corolla Electric-Assist Power Steering (EPS)
wishin_4a_ford Posts: 5If you are having the problems mentioned in the above post you need to take your car to the Toyota dealer and have them put in a new power steering rack! We had the same problem on one of the two 2010 Corolla's we bought, and after the dealer replaced the power steering rack it was perfect! This fixed our car, and the had the same problem with the Hybrid Camry! It is not an uncommon problem, however it can be corrected. If you are happy with the car other than the steering then get the steering fixed!1
cynth1 Posts: 3About my car's EPS, something happened that all of a sudden, I am ok with my Corolla again. It turns out, the problem was caused by it's tires..because after I (just) had it all replaced, it runs great again. I never noticed the problem with steering before because all I have been doing since I got the car was city driving. Then late last year I got transfered to another site and my work required me to do a lot of freeway driving (the problem is prominent at high speed only). My tires have always been 'well maintained', that's why I never thought it would be the cause of my steering problem. But then I saw the TSB about the EPS, and it included the tires in the checklist so I figured I would have them checked myself. Now that I have 4 new ones, it runs great on the freeway and I don't feel the steering problem anymore.1
jamaicanred Posts: 3Got my S with a VIN production of 511XXX, made in October 2010 in Canada. So far I have not had any issues with the steering that others have posted about. Yes it does feel a little like golf cart steering, but that's what your trade off is for better gas mileage. Is the EPS as good as a traditional hydraulic rack and pinion? Of course not. In fact it's not even in the same league. I had a 99 civic that I could drive with one finger without a problem, you can't do that with this Corolla. While it does take some getting used to when you've previously had a traditional hydraulic rack, it's effective at operating the vehicle in a safe manor. After reading several posts on this website about steering issues, I knew what i was getting into when I bought this car. To be fair, I don't drive at highway speeds very often. When I have made highway trips I have not noticed any swerving, over-correcting, or any of the other problems that some people have mentioned. I purposely bought a high production VIN hoping that Toyota had cleared up what issues there might have been. So far so good.
One positive with this system is it is much cheaper and easier to replace then a traditional rack. To be honest, I don't mind trading some ease of steering for better gas mileage.
The bottom line is this, most compact cars are trying to become as fuel efficient as possible. With this system there is no power steering pump running off of a serpentine belt. It's just an electric motor bolted to the steering column that assists in your steering. This puts less drag on the engine allowing better gas mileage. If you want I quality steering system you're gonna have to pony up some more $$$$ because just about all of these compacts are switching to this EPS system. Oh, and of course these are cheaper for Toyota to install on a car than a traditional rack system.0
dchev Posts: 38It does not matter if you buy cheaper or more expensive car. All new cars come with EPS. I have 2011 Toyota Corolla S, and I love how my car drives and steer.
I had to rent a Chevy Aveo, and after driving it, The Corolla steering was like driving a Lexus or MB, compared to Aveo's steering.....:)0
miguel1952 Posts: 1I have a 2010 LE w/19K miles on it. The ABS kicks in when turning and braking at the same time under normal driving conditions. Seems to be worse on rough roads. Anyone else have this problem and what is the fix? When I first bought the car the brake pedal would go down almost to the floor at red lights. I complained said it felt like there was air in the lines or a leaky master cylinder. Dealer said there was nothing wrong but they were better "magically" after I complained. Now it's the ABS coming on as if I was going fast and braking hard but I'm just driving normal. I wouldn't be getting 31 mpg around town and 37 on hwy if I was racing or driving fast. Took me 6 months to get used to the steering and now it's the brakes. Plz help!!0
I assume there's no check engine or other trouble light.
I would start by getting the wheel alignment checked.0

I would suggest you go to the NHTSA website and read their report.
While they did not find an issue to to make it a safety recall they did also say that a defect may still be present that they did not/were unable at this time todetect.
Also, if I remember correctly, 2 out of 10 test drivers were able to tell the difference before and after. So, 20% of the test group without knowing the issue were able to notice it.
If you are experiencing the issue I would recommend you have the EPS replaced under TSB-1040. I did and it made a huge difference.0
ovybox Posts: 21Hey sjarea,
We have the same problem over in the Sentra forums (wobbly steering, off-center steering feel). I also had some crap replaced in my Sentra's steering system (not the EPS) with no improvement.
Could you detail on TSB-1040? Is it related to Toyota only or is it some NHTSA document applicable to Nissan too?
If I was you I would not invest time into convincing terceltom about the EPS problem. Nothing will convince him that we have a problem: just read his posts allover the forums.
Here is a link to the TSB-
Sorry to hear about the Sentra but I can't think of any way, shape or form a Toyota TSB would impact Nissan. However, it is highly possible that both makers use the same 3rd party components so....that would be worth looking into. But again, TSB-1040 is toyota specific.
I suggest you and others start filing complaints w/ the NHTSA and ODI about the sentra and hope they look into it. I would encourage others on the forum board to file as well. That was how NHTSA got wind of the corolla and started their investigation. Bottom line is: If you and others do not get active in filing w/ NHTSA and their ODI and engage them nothing is really ever going to happen.
I will say this though - It was mentioned to me that another 'fix' was to pull the fuse for the EPS in the corolla. You'd lose the assist, but I was told that this also rectified the EPS wiggle. I never tried it, but it makes sense to me. I had toyota apply the TSB fix to my vehicle.
However, if anyone does pull the proper fuse they assume all responsibility and liability as I am not recommending this, but just passing along what I heard. But, perhaps a sentra owner would be willing to take the risk and see if that corrects the problem on the sentra. Hope that helps and good luck.0
I just recently bought a 2010 Corolla and I love the car. Easy to park, comfortable, great mpgs, etc. However, I have a quick question regarding the steering. I don't have a problem with the EPS (I don't think) because I don't notice a need to over-correct the steering at high speeds at all with the car. However, at speeds under 15 mpg I hear the steering wheel a lot. There's no buzzing or clicking or anything. I just hear the steering wheel whirr whenever I turn it at under those speeds. I don't hear the steering wheel moving at all in my sister's '06 Civic or my mom's '10 Legacy. Is it just the electric power steering or something?0
Yes, this is the electric power steering.0
Is it a problem or normal? I don't have any problems with the EPS regarding drifting at high speeds and the need to over-correct on the highway like I was reading many others were having issues with.0
Normal - I have noticed it on all the 2010 Corollas that I have driven (2), but only at very low parking lot speeds and when I am paying attention.0
tonyctrl Posts: 1I have a 2007 Corolla with the same problem. Driving in the highway is a stressful experience for I need to constantly adjust the steering to keep the car on the road(to go straight). Toyota should adress this problem else people will run away from it's products.0
Get a wheel alignment.0
vol245 Posts: 1I have a 2011 Corolla S and it has the problem. I purchased the car in late March and it now has over 9k miles on it. I mainly drive on rural roads around 55 to 60 mph. The drifting is noticeable at times at those speeds. It is really bad if I get on the freeway and go over 70 mph. I have to pay way too much attention to just keep the car in my lane.
I rented a 2010 Corolla S a couple months ago and it did not have the problem.
I have replaced all four tires and had the front-end aligned and it made no difference. I replaced the tires because one of them was ruined due to running over a piece of metal. I didn't like the stock Bridgestone Turanza EL400 II tires at all, so I didn't want to buy one replacement for $187. Instead I bought four Michelin Primacy MXV tires. It handles a little better with the Michelins, but still wanders I have an appointment at the dealer on Saturday due to the problem and the 10k maintenance. I'd sell the car if I could do that without losing too much money.
I also own a 2005 Mazda RX-8 which also has EPS and it has no problems at any speed.0
dusty56 Posts: 1Just bought a new 2011 Toyota corolla and have the same problem and NHTSA says there has not been anyone other than myself that has complained about this problem. The car road walks above 70 MPH0
That's because they are using the same EPS set-up from both the '09 and '10 models. It didn't change on the '11.
You may want to grab the TSB and see what the dealer can do. May have to press the dealer to get them to confirm it is the same EPS set-up on the '11 as previous models. But, it is. Otherwise you did the right thing by reporting it.
I have driven a 2010, and it felt great to me - no issues. I was aware of the potential issues from reading here and other internet sites, but no problem on the 2010 - drove very nice on the highway and city. I remember reading that they did replace the computer for the EPS on some of the 2009 and early 2010s. Should not be a problem on a 2011. How is the tire pressure?0
trmfh2003 Posts: 1I just bought 2011 S I test drove it on friday and I felt pulling to right then left I thought it was a windy day. I went back saturday december 3 to buy the car My husband drove the car saturday home and said this car has a steering problem. I have 50 miles on my car. I am looking up what is wrong with the steering and find out they had this problem since 2009. I am scared to drive my new 2011 car I am going to dealer Monday december 5 20110
denvecc Posts: 1The dealer will tell you there's nothing wrong with your car. That you have to get used to it. BS. I'm still have problems with my 2009. And tercel will tell you the same thing that there is nothing wrong with the EPS.0
The TSB link I posted above covers the 09 and 10 models. I don't know what toyota is doing for the '11's.
here's the link again-
But, you may want to review the TSB. It contains a checklist of what the dealer is supposed to do to correct the problem.
If you have an '11 model then I'd report it to the NHTSA so they can at least keep track of it. Remember - they did not find a safety issue for the '09 and '10's so a recall isn't going to happen. However, toyota did re-tune the EPS module and is replacing the EPS under the above TSB for those that are having issues.
I had to take it from one dealer that didn't think it was an issue to another dealer that said no problem we will take the warranty/TSB work and did it without having to hassle with it. So, if one dealer is giving you a headache take it to another one IMO. They did take my car for a few days to go over it and then called and said - yes, it is doing it (after going thru the TSB checklist) and we will order the module for you. They are not going to have it in stock. Had my car back in 3 days and made a world of difference IMO.
I have seen nothing that says toyota used a 'new' EPS for the '11. I believe it is the same as the '09 and '10. In fact, when I called the NHTSA and talked to an engineer about it he said (at the time and this was months ago) that toyota would be using the same EPS module in the '11 models so.......
If you go onto the NHTSA safecar.gov site you can search for the documents and see the back and forth between the NHTSA and toyota. It is all public record. From there you can find names and numbers of the NHTSA people. It's not hard just gotta know where to look. Hope it helps.0
Did you apply for the TSB fix on your '09 and was it done? are you still having problems after the fix?0
michigandoc Posts: 1I just wanted everyone who has had this problem that the tsb fix does work. I bought a used 2010 Corolla S for my daughter and it was so dangerous to drive that I contemplated getting rid of it after having it only a few weeks. I called the Toyota Dealer in Traverse City Michigan and they put in the new computer module without any hassles. The service manager had never heard of this problem but inspite of that he looked up the TSB and completed it without any complaints. It now drives normally. I can drive down the road with one hand without constantly swerving right and left even at 70mph.
So if you are wondering if the TSB works. Yes it does. Just take it to a good dealer.0
excursion2 Posts: 2I have a 2011 Toyota Corolla and find the steering difficult to keep on center. The car seems to drift all over the place, especially with wind. IT FEELS LIKE YOU ARE DRIVING ON A BOWLING BALL.
A couple of weeks ago I got the lead tech at Toyota, who adjusted the alignment to have a little more toe (within tolerances). The car was set at ABSOLUTE ALIGNMENT??? This adjustment made driving the vehicle much more bearable, but NOT PERFECT. He also made my complaint known to Toyota to see if any adjustment were available.
I hope this information can help people feel a somewhat safer while driving0
I just bought a 2013 Toyota Corolla S 3 days ago. I went on a 2 hour road trip and found out what power assisted steering is when going 80 miles per an hour. At 60-80 miles per an hour, I do not like how the steering becomes firm and hard to make minor degree changes. It's like not having power steering with further resistance.
Is there anything I can do to not have the power steering firm and resistant at high speeds? Is there an adjustment that can be made? Would I of had this issue if I bought a 2012 Camry? It creates great fatigue when driving on the highway.0
brad105 Posts: 1Took delivery of a new 2013 Corolla S.
I can barely keep the car centered in a lane at highway speeds.
Tires at specified 32F/32R
Will contact Toyota regarding TSB 0140100
Check tire pressure0

Immunology 2012. The 99th Annual Meeting of the American Association for Immunology, May 4-8, 2012, Boston, Massachusetts. Page 275. Abstract No. 170.3. Poster No. P1246. Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: Ovine progressive pneumonia virus (OPPV) is a small ruminant lentivirus of the retroviridae family that infects sheep worldwide. Our research group recently identified a mutation (K35) within ovine gene TMEM154 that associated with reduced susceptibility to OPPV. The ancestral state for TMEM154 is E35. The mechanism responsible for reduced OPPV susceptibility is unknown. Lambs that were homozygous K35 (n = 64), homozygous E35 (n = 58), or heterozygous E35K (n = 80) and born to OPPV sero-positive ewes were produced to test the association of E35K with OPPV susceptibility. Lambs were bled one week post-weaning and every 5 weeks thereafter to determine serological status. At 7 months of age, lambs were co-mingled with a flock of sero-positive mature ewes during a 35-day breeding season to re-expose lambs to OPPV as naturally occurs during breeding in infected flocks. Mature ewes were removed after breeding and lambs were again bled at 5-week intervals. At 7 months of age, 11% of homozygous K35 lambs were sero-positive for OPPV, compared to about 25% of lambs with one or two copies of the susceptible E35 ancestral allele. Two months after re-exposure to the infected ewes, 25% of homozygous K35 lambs were sero-positive, compared to 42% of heterozygous E35K lambs and 38% of homozygous E35 lambs. This study confirms that homozygous K35 lambs are less susceptible to OPPV infection and provides the first evidence of dominance of the E35 allele relative to K35.

Still, even in the context of manga, I think these boxers would be better off without Kamogawa. I'm surprised it's taken the manga that long to mention it... wait, I think Volg's trainer may have said something long ago.
Leaving Takamura aside, Kamogawa's 'strategy' of letting Ippo charge ahead and get wrecked is extremely dangerous and extremely bad for his boxer in the long term. If he can't think of anything else, isn't that because Kamogawa is unimaginative rather than because there's nothing else Ippo can do? So Kamogawa is underestimating his fighter's intelligence and putting his health at risk at the same time. Is that the mark of a good trainer? Especially one who ruined his own career through reckless stupidity?

First of all, i said that Kamogawa isn't the best trainer for Ippo, i've been saying for a long time that Ippo should look for Date. But, Ippo (and Takamura) are very close to Kamogawa. Once i heard something like "if it's working, don't touch it".
We don't know what is the limit to Ippo and Takamura under Kamogawa's training, but the fact is that Takamura is undefeated and Ippo only has one defeat. I sure want to see Ippo as a boxer fighting like a champion and not as a challenger. But Morikawa created him as an underdog, so, it's hard to analyze Ippo without that fact.
OTOH Takamura was a punk (a very special one though) and Morikawa created a situation where Kamogawa was crucial to Takamura's future. So, Morikawa based Ippo and Takamura's relationship with Kamogawa more in sentimental issues more than technical.
What if Ippo's and Takamura's trainers don't make a good relationship?, i bet that would affect their performance as boxers. Still... if this were real life, i would say that Ippo and Takamura need new trainers.

This being a manga and all, things like "trust" and "faith" and "friendship" will always be prioritized over "sense" and "logic" and "health", so this is just my personal rant against the "Anything goes as long as it gets results" and "If the fighter is great then his trainer must be great too" mentalities.

That said, since Takamura has nothing left to learn, I'd send him to Hama in America so he can polish up and spar against bigger, better opponents. I'd give Ippo to whoever the most defensive-minded trainer is. He already has more than enough offense, now he needs to stop getting hit so darned much.

To me, it's not so much Kamogawa's one-trick pony or questionable decisions that's the real problem. I find it a little bit annoying that Kamogawa is treated as this 'amazing world-class second and trainer.'
I personally always thought that Kamogawa almost always make foolish decisions. The artificial lengthening of Ippo's career by forcing him into fighting Asian champions, making Ippo linger around in the 'above Japan, but below the world' cloud that Vorg and Sendoh are actually making more progressive efforts in.
He's pushing Ippo slowly, almost too slowly it makes me wonder if he realises Ippo gets his career shaved so much that by the time he gets to the world stage, there's a risk he'd be shriveled bones and punch drunk.
His utter retardedness against Gedo, the other old guy, as well as Woli. Overconfidence, flabberghastedness, and failing to notice simple things, etc. It's easy to blame Ippo for being retarded on his side as well, but Kamogawa is responsible for the mindset, approach and mental fortitude of Ippo in his matches, both good and bad of it.
And then there was Takamura, whom he forced into horrible situations just because he was poor and yet was unwilling to let him flourish himself overseas with a better trainer.
The fact that in most Ippo matches, it's always Takamura who always had the foresight to see what actually happens and give the right advices more so than Kamogawa baffles me.
Yet these repetitive flaws are often handwaived and we're supposed to assume Kamogawa is an awesome and amazing trainer. And what does Morikawa do to reinforce that assumption for most parts?
Make the other trainers and seconds in this series lesser than him.
Frankly, I was sooooo dissapoint when Date's debut as a trainer had his prospects MASSIVE FAIL multiple times.

Yes, I'm so glad you understand. I hate how Kamogawa is presented as being so great and wise and responsible for his charges' success, when the truth is they're successful despite his leadership. And he's been coaching for decades, what are his other successes? NOTHING.
Maybe if Kimura and Aoki had belonged to better gyms, they would have done better in their championship challenges. It's not like old man Kamogawa gives them the time of day anyway.

Right, but if they're going to be trained by the second-string trainer, they might as well not even be there. Same goes for Itagaki, Kamogawa has barely spoken to him throughout the series.

Tsuyoshi, i'm agree with Dorfl... but, you're missing one point, Ippo is a fictional character, this manga is full of fiction. Ippo wouldn't be champion in any country with Kamogawa as his trainer, but Morikawa created a world where Kamogawa is almost a God, he is respected by the press, when a boxer insults him, everybody see that almost as a crime!. I re-watched some episodes the other day, when Ippo faced Vorg, and Morikawa teached him the gazelle punch and Yamaguchi praised "Kamogawa's scientific approach to Ippo's training"... i mean... WHAT!?.
Now... i do think that either Takamura or Date will train Ippo eventually, i believe that Takamura knows Ippo better than anyone else and he got some knowledge too. But, again, this is all about Morikawa's decision.

I'm in agreement as far as Date goes. In fact, I really do believe he ought to be the one training Ippo. Takamura not so much because he's the type who wants to fight rather than teach others. Takamura generally likes to take a piss out of everyone outside of the ring from the way I see it.

just caught back up with ippo after not reading it for a few dozen chapters. As people have said, good lord this is starting to move slow. I was literally just clicking through pages as no one was saying anything of even remote importance for a lot of chapters. Ippo has been a pretty consistently awesome manga for 900 some chapters, so i'm not gonna get too blown up over a few shitty chapters.

Going for a manicure is supposed to be a nice, relaxing treat for your hands that leaves you with nice looking nails, however if you are getting "specialty" nails done and your salon is one that uses UV nail dryers – you need to use caution! A lot of reports have come forth lately and doctors are speaking out with their opinions about UV dryers and the consensus is that they highly increase the risk of skin cancer and skin aging on the fingers and hands.
These UV dryers are commonly used when you are having gel nails or special shellacs done but some salons regularly use them to cut down on the drying time of ordinary nail polish. The dryers contain various doses of radiation – some emit a very small amount and others produce an extremely strong dose of artificial radiation – even more than you would get in a regular tanning booth. Doctors and Dermatologists are seeing more and more cases of women with skin cancer on their fingers. This could also possibly be attributed to not applying sunscreen and going out into the sun – but because of the placement of these new cancers it is much more likely that they are coming from the UV dryers. A lot of salons are responding to these allegations and say the dryers are safe and don't emit enough UV to do any harm. Doctors reply that any UV at all is dangerous, especially when it is very concentrated, and will lead to aging of the skin, if not worse, and they have put out warnings to avoid these dryers.
It's better to be safe than sorry, so the next time you decide to treat yourself to a manicure – do some research first. Make sure to find an extremely reputable salon with licensed estheticians who sanitize their equipment properly and are aware of the proper procedures to remove hangnails and buff nails. Avoid the special nail gels which require the UV dryers, or ask if they can be dried in another way if you must have them. And if the salon wants to use one to dry regular nail polish – ask instead for a top coat then just sit and relax for an extra 20 minutes while your nails dry.

New body aims to maximise Commonwealth Games legacy
Former Queensland premier Rob Borbidge says it is important that the benefits of the 2018 Commonwealth Games are felt long after the event.
Mr Borbidge will head the Gold Coast Legacy Advisory Committee, which will aim to maximise the benefits from the games.
He says it is getting harder for Australia to attract major events.
"We're bidding against other countries with deep pockets and the whole exercise does cost a lot of money," he said.
"But in terms of the importance of the Commonwealth Games to the Gold Coast, this will be about three times bigger than the Commonwealth Games were to Brisbane so it's a tremendous opportunity.
"Prior to the Brisbane Commonwealth Games in 1982 you couldn't eat on the footpath, so there's all sorts of legacies involved far beyond the physical legacy that will be left behind.
"It's a great opportunity to consolidate the Gold Coast's position in Australian life, in Commonwealth life and in terms of being a world destination."

Pretty & Practical: Delightful Indoor/Outdoor Rugs
Flipping through the June 2011 issue of Elle Decor yesterday I came across the most fantastic kitchen in a Victorian townhouse in Gramercy Park. But what really caught my eye was the kitchen's beautiful rug. As I looked up the source information I was surprised to find that this rug is just as practical as it is pretty.
Not only is it durable, water resistant and easy to clean, it was designed by high-end textile artist Liora Manne. And it is reasonably priced for a designer rug (the 5x8 version of the "Souzani Diamonds" sells for $500).
Liora Manne's rugs are truly one of a kind. They feel like wool felt but are actually made with acrylic and polyester fibers. They are hand-made but also machine processed using cutting edge technology.
My favorites remind me both of Moroccan tiles and the colors and symmetry one may encounter in a microbiology textbook. Like the technique she uses to create her rugs, their designs are a lovely blend of natural and modern.
Using Lamontage, a special process Manne herself developed, fibers are intricately cut, blended and layered by hand. Then a needle loom mechanically interlocks these loose fibers into a nonwoven fabric that resembles felt. According to her website, the rugs are then coated with "an EPA approved SmartSilver™ antimicrobial finish, which permanently embeds microscopic silver particles in the rug." This coating helps prevent deterioration, odor and mildew, making the rugs an ideal choice for high-traffic and high-moisture areas like kitchens and patios.
I think I have found my new kitchen rug!

The Dunnellon City Council on Thursday chose Wideband Networks to take over its ailing Greenlight Communications, which has been hemorrhaging cash since it started two years ago.
The Dunnellon City Council on Thursday chose Wideband Networks to take over the ailing Greenlight Communications, which has been hemorrhaging cash since it started two years ago.
Officially, all the City Council did Thursday was agree to a "letter of intent" that allows them to begin negotiating a sale of the telecommunications utility to Wideband.
The sides still have to negotiate two deals. One would allow Wideband to immediately assume temporary control of the struggling utility so the city can rid itself of a system that had been losing as much as $250,000 per month until recently. All the operational costs would shift to Wideband.
City officials hope to have that agreement in hand by the middle of next week and could vote on it either Sept. 5 or Sept. 9.
The second deal would be for the sale of Greenlight to Wideband.
Under the letter of intent approved Thursday, Wideband has tentatively agreed to pay $3.85 million for Greenlight, which has about 500 internet, phone and cable subscribers in and around the city of Dunnellon. That price could change during negotiations over the coming weeks.
John Pierpont, a local consultant who is handling the sale for Dunnellon, said Wideband has also tentatively agreed to run Greenlight until the sale is completed but wants to recoup its costs. It will likely negotiate to knock those costs off the final purchase price, Pierpont said.
Once the sale is completed, Dunnellon will still carry a significant amount of debt related to the system. The city borrowed $8 million from Regions Bank to start Greenlight. Assuming the proceeds from the sale were used to pay off part of the loan, Dunnellon would still owe Regions more than $4 million.
City officials said they would have to develop new sources of revenue to pay off the remaining debt, which could mean imposing new fees on city residents.
While the city works through a deal with Wideband, it has received some hopeful news.
Nicole Nate, an attorney with Bryant Miller Olive, the law firm that is helping the city resolve its Greenlight problems, said Thursday that the city may not have to declare a state of financial emergency after all.
By state law, municipalities have to inform the governor's office that they have financial emergencies when it appears they will not be able to meet their debts. The state has several options at that point. It can simply monitor the muncipality's attempts to resolve its problem, or it can step in and impose a solution on the city.
After a financial review revealed the extent of the Greenlight problem, city officials began preparing to file paperwork declaring an emergency. The impending sale of Greenlight, however, has pushed the city back from the brink of financial disaster and made it less likely that it will have to make such a declaration, Nate said.
"Which is a wonderful piece of news," Mayor Nathan Whitt said, "Once you go down that road, it's not the road you want to be on."

Hugging Banned at Middle School in North Carolina [POLL]
FoxCarolina.com reports on a middle school in Forest City, N.C., that has banned hugging by its eighth grade students. You're gonna flip when you hear what brought all of this about.
The whole thing started after one of the students had a seizure at school and was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance. When the student returned to school the next day, he was greeted with hugs from other students. That's perfectly understandable and innocent, isn't it?
The students were told by school officials at lunch that the hugging was not allowed. Some of the students started a Facebook group to protest the rule. Students said the principal warned the students that any public displays of affection (PDA) would result in students receiving an in-school suspension.
Officials for the school district say any type of PDA is off limits, however the school handbook does not mention PDA's. The only type of touching it mentions is in the form of sexual harassment. In other words, unwanted intentional touching. I'm not convinced that two students waling towards each other with their arms outstretched towards each other would constitute "unwanted" would it?
I understand the school's zero-tolerance policy on this, but isn't comforting a sick classmate taking it a little far?

Dear Editor,
I would like to address the government health care proposal.
On the surface, it looks like a great idea. All of the "poor people" will be able to access medical services at little or no cost to them. I think it was 46 million with no coverage who will be brought under the government's plan.
That is great until one looks at the cost, or who is going to pay (that is you and me — the ones who have worked and saved all of our lives to try to have a decent, secure retirement).

To the Editor,
As you have all heard, the cast of Grease has been honored with an invitation to perform at Disney this October, and you can see by our list of fund raisers, the kids and their families have invested a lot of sweat and heart into this project. These fundraisers are to defer the expense of travel and lodging, and any additional funds will be put into an account to support student scholarships.
A big step was taken last Thursday night by the Washington County school board members, and I feel it was a step in the right direction.
Robin Cochran was hired as the new superintendent of schools, filling a position that was vacated when Rob Stafford resigned earlier this year. Stafford was hired at the start of last school year, and his tenure here was quite short, but understandably so. With some family concerns on his mind, Stafford left Washington County to be closer to home, his wife and two young children, and I don't see how anyone can blame him for that.

There's an extremely interesting article in a Catholic newspaper called The Record out of Louisville on former resident Hugh Haydon, son of C.H. and Frances Haydon of Springfield. Record Staff Writer Marnie McAllister wrote it, and you can read the article on the Internet at www.readthesun.com.
This letter is in response to Sr. Claire McGowan's Column of Aug. 5.
Dear Editor,
Science uses data and analysis to determine how our natural world functions. Neither emotional arguments nor unsubstantiated claims comprise a scientific debate. Sr. McGowan's column used talking points Al Gore and the extreme environmentalists have been using to scare people into funding their causes.
School has almost started, and it's time for me to pass along some words of wisdom to these high school kids that they can use for the rest of their lives. I don't have much wisdom, so read closely.
First, I need to ask you a few questions.
Who would you really like to hang with?
Wild claims and plenty of scare tactics are emerging about the dangers of reforming national energy policy. Cooler reasonable heads are essential as we examine our current situation. We need a major new national energy policy for four reasons:
• Energy independence. Currently we are almost completely dependent on other countries for our national oil supply. This is a source of danger on many levels, including the hope of eventually achieving world peace.
Get ready to pay a whole lot more to keep the lights on.
Congress currently is working to pass a huge energy bill. The centerpiece is a system to force energy utilities to purchase government credits to offset their greenhouse gas emissions. This would in effect be an energy tax on the American people as the utilities pass the increased costs along to consumers and small business owners.
If you have followed my column over the last few years, then you're well aware that I may go from writing comic fantasy one week to being deadly serious the next. My nature is to laugh at the world, but remember why we're all here.
Do you know what my favorite subject to write about is? It's about God and his messages to us in the Bible.
Strange, isn't it? A man like me probably knows more about the devil than God because of the way I've lived my life.
I was listening to the news one morning last week and one of the topics was naturally the economy. The banks, the car manufacturers, mortgage companies, and then the words domestic violence came into play. Working with women who are going through domestic violence is my job, and naturally when I hear those words, my ears automatically perk up.
Dear Springfield and Washington County,
When was the last time you were a part of something very special?
When was the last time your heart strings were played upon so completely that you rediscovered your own personal music score? I speak not about how you sing in the shower; I speak of the music in your heart.
Have you lost your inner person song? Have you stopped singing in your heart?
Excitement in a small town is where you find it. Fortunately, it's not too hard for someone like me who's easily amused at even the most mundane things. Take electronic devices, like cash registers and security systems in stores. Nothing funny there, but I always seem to have trouble with them.
Part of the reason is I never carry cash with me. This is mainly because I don't own any. It's been that way all my life.
Larger than life.

Thank you. I'm dislexic. :lol:
senecca better hope he can be another randel-El because not to many teams like drafting 5-10 quaterbacks.
I honestly think Wallace was pretty overrated. I remember seeing him get wrecked by the ohhh sooo dangerouse Boise State Broncos in the "Humanitarian Bowl"........That Blue field is awful...........RandleEl on the other hand excelled for 3 years in college breaking just about every all-purpose yardage stat in the book.

While every American of voting age can tell you where the President of the United States lives (we hope, anyway), most would probably have to do a Google search to come up with Number One Observatory Circle, which is located on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory, and is the official residence of the Vice President of the United States. That doesn't exactly roll off the tongue like The White House, or even Number 10 Downing Street – the residence of the British Prime Minister. And for the record, as long as we're playing "name that residence", the number two guy in the U.K. – the Chancellor of the Exchequer – lives at Number 11 Downing Street right next door to his boss.
At any rate, the VP's home is a stately one, built in the Queen Anne style nearly 120 years ago. Thus it is a rather big house with a lot of rooms, which could be why Vice President Joseph Biden decided to pick up a Panasonic Viera TV during a Costco run on Thursday. He picked up the set along with other essentials including children's books and fresh pastries (hey, the man clearly likes pie) at the warehouse shopping club. We'd think the man who is just a heartbeat away from the big seat would have someone to do this shopping for him, but, of course, this was a PR stunt, as it was the first Costco to open in the District of Columbia.
But back to his decision to buy an HDTV.
Who hasn't made an impulse buy at Costco or Sam's Club? But a 32-inch set? Say it ain't so, Joe! We would hope that Number One Observatory Circle would already have a kicking home theater system in place – though perhaps nothing quite as posh as the White House theater, which is located in the East Wing and ]apparently includes a 3D projector. So why would the Veep pick up a set that is probably smaller what many middle class Americans already have in their living room? And where is the home theater in a box to go with it? He isn't really going to rely on the built-in speakers is he?
As this was for a photo op, we can only assume that this was the largest set that would fit on the Costco cart. Pus, it would have looked bad to have secret service agents lugging a 65-inch plasma around the store. So perhaps Biden wanted to strike a chord with the common man, but could this be a message of screen equality, or home theater redistribution? Let's just hope Joe has someone to help him set up the TV.

Hello World! I'm Sharon Cohen, Program Manager for parental controls in IE7. If you haven't heard about Windows Vista Parental Controls, be sure to read Brian's blog post which gives a great overview of the feature. I'd like to fill you in on the great features IE7 adds to Windows Vista Parental Controls.
IE7 offers two features which will enhance the Windows Vista Parental Controls experience for both parents and children. As Brian described, when Parental Controls have been enabled on a child's account, Windows will block web navigations to particular sites. When a top level navigation is blocked, preventing navigation to an entire site, the child will see an error page which provides a link to request permission from their parents to view the content.
However, if only part of a page is blocked, then IE will display as much content as possible along with an Information Bar which provides an option for requesting permission to view the blocked content.
From both of these blocked content dialogs, children can access an interface which allows their parents to approve the blocked content without logging out of the child's account. (Parents have to put in their password before they can get to this interface.)
The other Parental Controls feature which IE7 provides is download blocking. When the child goes to download a file, instead of seeing the run/save/cancel download dialog, children see a message that due to Parental controls restrictions they can not download the item. (Download blocking is a setting which parents can enable through the centralized parental controls setting panel which Brian described.)
There is no over-the-shoulder override on blocked downloads as there is with blocked web content, however, parents can view a log of the failed download attempt in the child's activity report.
With these two features, Windows Vista Parental Controls become fully integrated in IE7, creating a safe and enjoyable experience for both parents and children.
Happy Browsing,
- Sharon
Update: Updating this as requested to make it clear that this is a Windows Vista-based feature.

A LIST of the 50 most powerful people in the Australian art world includes Dubbo's cultural warrior Kent Buchanan.
His steely determination to square the cultural ledger between city and country has caught the influential eye of The Art Life.
The long-standing critical blog that launched an ABC1 television series, recently released the inaugural list with Mr Buchanan at number 48.
The curator of Western Plains Cultural Centre (WPCC) was one of only two arts professionals working in regional Australia on it.
Founder of The Art Life, writer and commentator Andrew Frost, has been a visitor to WPCC where impressive infrastructure is just the beginning.
The 48th citation on the list reports the WPCC "might be way beyond the edges of the Sandstone Curtain but it's one of the most energetic and forward-looking of NSW's regional galleries".
"Curator Kent Buchanan brings contemporary art to the people of the west and stages shows by international artists as well as mounting travelling shows from the ARI (artist-run initiatives) circuit," it says.
Indeed, there are few artistic obstacles Mr Buchanan and the team at WPCC will not tackle in championing equal access to cultural experiences of a regional, national and international nature.
Assisting them is the march of technology that has made "distance unimportant".
"This centre is about providing access to cultural material and allowing people to access it without having to travel to a big city," Mr Buchanan said this week.
"There is no reason why we can't enjoy the same things that any other big city can enjoy."
Born and bred at Dubbo, Mr Buchanan moved to Sydney in the late 1980s to study at the College of Fine Arts of the University of NSW.
When he returned to Dubbo a decade later the only door open to a career in the arts was a volunteer position at the former Dubbo Regional Gallery in Darling Street.
But one opportunity would lead to another as the now 42-year-old married father of two children found his professional feet.
Mr Buchanan was education officer at the small Darling Street gallery when a fire in 2003 prompted Dubbo City Council to begin planning for a facility that could accommodate both art and history.
The devastating 2000 storm at Dubbo had closed the city's makeshift museum.
Largely ratepayer-funded, WPCC opened in 2006 with Mr Buchanan getting the chance to move from education officer to assistant curator in 2007 and curator a couple of years later.
"It was a dream come true because I'm really passionate about the arts and particularly passionate about living in the regions and having access to all of those things that people take for granted in the city," he told the Daily Liberal.
"The opportunity to present works to people that they have never seen, never considered seeing, is really satisfying."
The WPCC building, boasting five gallery spaces, has been up to the challenge of exposing the public to "a variety of shows, genres and media" including film and video art that attracts younger audiences, "notoriously difficult" to entice inside.
"I've pushed for new media and I think that's helped set us apart," Mr Buchanan said.
So too has the decision by WPCC to steer away from building a so-called "supermarket" collection and concentrate on the "animal".
"By specialising in the animal we now have a reputation within the art world," the curator said.
Larger institutions have been calling to ask for advice or to borrow.
People entering the striking red and grey building in Wingewarra Street for the first time are shocked for all the right reasons.
"When they come here they really see something on par with some of the mid to large centres in the city," Mr Buchanan said.
"We can put on a traditional show but at the same time other shows that are challenging."
The curator thinks the council and its team at WPCC are getting it right, but "there's still a lot to do".
"There's still people I come across in Dubbo who haven't been here," he said.
"They're the people I'm really keen on bringing in."
Mr Buchanan said WPCC was an opportunity to leave behind a contemporary world where just about everyone is trying to "sell us something or influence us in a particular way".
"We're just about ideas and beauty," he said.
"You can take what you want from it. You can like it or not like it. Every reaction to an artwork is valid."
The curator gets a buzz out of hearing WPCC patrons swap thoughts and opinions as they wonder past its precious cargo.
"It's between liking and not liking that really interest me, because that's when we have a dialogue," he said.
Mr Buchanan's rise in prominence in the national arts community corresponds with his acceptance of the offer to be secretary of the committee of Regional and Public Galleries NSW.
It promotes and lobbies on behalf of big and small facilities, including the Art Gallery of NSW.
It is an extra load that the curator is happy to carry as he encourages a cultural revolution in the bush.
Mr Buchanan is "gobsmacked" by his inclusion in The Art Life list and insists it reflects upon the WPCC team and a council with vision.
"It saw that Dubbo was becoming a much more sophisticated city and we needed an impressive centre," he said.

Washington climber dies on Mount McKinley
National Park Service says a helicopter crew spotted remains of 39-year-old Tacoma woman.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska (AP) — The National Park Service says a Washington state climber has died on Mount McKinley.
The agency says a helicopter crew Wednesday night spotted the remains of 39-year-old Sylvia Montag of Tacoma, who had been climbing with 34-year-old Mike Fuchs of Berlin, Germany.
The two were some of the earliest trying to scale the 20,322-foot peak, North America's tallest, this climbing season.
The park service says the pair began their ascent April 15 and on Saturday reached Denali Pass at 18,200 feet.
Strong winds forced them to camp for two nights.
Fuchs called rangers Monday and said they had separated as they tried to descend to 17,200 feet.
Fuchs requested a rescue Tuesday, but strong winds prevented high-elevation flights until Wednesday night.
Montag's body was spotted 800 to 1,000 feet below the traverse to Denali Pass.

With frustration building over Washington's refusal to behave in the public interest, perhaps it's worth noting a drastic solution tried by the Irish.
Last Friday, Irish voters cast ballots on a referendum to abolish the country's Upper House, known as the Seanad. Prime Minister Enda Kenny said Ireland didn't need all of its politicians and they should be made to suffer along with everyone else as the country continues to struggle economically.
The measure to abolish the Seanad lost by just 42,500 votes out of more than 1,226,000 cast (51.8 percent to 48.2 percent).
While many Americans might wish they could abolish Congress, it is unlikely, unless voters take a page from the Declaration of Independence and "institute new government," so another approach by Republican governors to break the cycle of systemic ineffectiveness in Washington might work.

Everywhere I read about the demise of Digg.
In Memoriam: Even in losing, how Digg won
Now I need advice about the best site to save and share interesting news. Reditt won't do because they ban Science Daily, the meat of my news diet.
Views: 158
I was big on using digg until the v4.0 fiasco a year or two ago, when people started leaving in droves. I switched to reddit and, apart from visiting a couple times out of morbid curiosity, I haven't looked back.
Actually it wasn't killed by Google, Twitter or Facebook. Google is search engine, the others are social networks, though they can spread news pretty fast (especially Twitter) and same is true about Google+. The true reason of Digg's death is the similar (social news sites?), but simpler Reddit, which right now has grown to far more than Digg was (like communities instead of simple content submit). Forbes has already an informative article on that. [I wrote it just because I saw the... tombstone pic]
As for a list of sites look here. It's a number of similar sites. But, in case of tech news, I like the (kinda old) Slashdot. And if you only want news, without the social news thing, you can use the known social networks (G+,Fb,Twitter,...), by subscripting to news pages/profiles.
I never used Digg myself. I can do a little research to find something similar.

Stampede Trade Valesano To Storm In Exchange For Cecere
SIOUX FALLS, SD -- The Sioux Falls Stampede announced Monday that they have acquired defenseman Garrett Cecere from the Tri-City Storm in exchange for forward Conner Valesano. There are some additional items involved in the trade, a swap of draft picks and future players, which will be announced in the coming days.
Cecere was in his second season with the Storm and has registered 15 points (1g, 14a) in 30 games. The 5-foot-8, 160-pound, left-handed defenseman recorded 16 points (3g, 13a) in 58 games last season with Tri-City. A native of West Des Moines, Iowa, Cecere was a 5th round draft choice of the Storm in the 2011 USHL Futures Draft.
In 2011-12, Cecere was the top defenseman for the Janesville Jets of the North American Hockey League (NAHL) and was named to the NAHL 1st Team All-Rookie Team after tallying 30 points in 52 games. He has already committed to play collegiate hockey at Colorado College.
Valesano was in his second season with the Stampede and has recorded 17 points (8g, 9a) in 36 games. The Duluth, Minn. native posted 18 points (4g, 14a) in 54 games last season with the Herd. He was a fifth round pick of the Stampede during the 2011 USHL Futures Draft before joining the Stampede last season.
"We want to wish Val all the best in his future," said Stampede head coach Cary Eades. "He's a quality person, was a great teammate, and made good improvements in his game during his 1-1/2 years in a Stampede jersey. However, we had a shortage at the defense position and we are thrilled to add a veteran presence like Cecere to our blue line. He's a great skater, moves the puck well and although he's not big, he's a real battler defensively. We think Garrett can help us in all situations – 5-on-5, powerplay and penalty kill".
Cecere is expected to travel to Sioux Falls Tuesday and could make his Stampede debut this weekend against his former team as the Herd travel to Kearney, Neb. to face Tri-City in back-to-back games Friday and Saturday.

Understanding when and how to guess on the SAT is a fundamental strategy in SAT preparation. Savvy students know the system is designed to discourage guessing -- there are cases in which guessing may lead to a higher SAT score but misleading information has perpetuated guessing strategies that can sometimes hurt rather than help SAT test takers.
In an effort to help students better prepare for the SAT exam, Veritas Prep, the largest global provider of test prep and admissions consulting services, released a video highlighting tips and strategies for determining when to guess during the SAT: http://youtu.be/Pl-T3UYdt6Q

We've been following Android's patent war very closely here at Android and Me, bringing you bad news after bad news about the whole issue. However, today is a "good news" kind of day. And I'm happy to tell you things just might start to turn around for our little green friend.
According to Bloomberg, Google has acquired a "batch" of patents from IBM. That "batch" equals 1,030 patents, and they cover a very wide range of technologies from memory and microprocessing to servers and routers. Even down to relational databases and object oriented programming.
While most of these patents seem to be related to Google's core business–Google Search–I wouldn't be surprised if some of those memory, microprocessing and router patents could be used to defend Android as well. Speaking of routers, Google is also getting ready to become an ISP in Kansas City, Kansas, and Kansas City, Missouri. And since this is Google we're talking about here, Comcast, AT&T and other telcos will probably have around zero market share in both of these cities by next year. If that comes true, ISPs will undoubtedly go after Google with lawsuits, and some of these IBM patents could very well become useful when that happens.
Even though most of these patents seem to have nothing to do with mobile or Android, I'm just as glad to see Google beef up its patent portfolio. Of course, the best solution would be to overhaul the whole patent system in this country. But until that happens, Google needs to grab all the patents it can. Because it's a tough and cruel world out there if you don't have a huge patent war chest.

It is clear from the name that business intelligence (BI) is intended to deliver intelligence to the business. Businesses use the output from BI systems to develop a strategy for their organizations at the very highest level. This can deliver enormous benefits, but, if the data is misunderstood, there are enormous risks. It is therefore essential to have a thorough understanding of the data to avoid these risks. A data model is a valuable tool that is used to help businesspeople and IT communicate effectively. The databases that are built to support BI must therefore contain the correct information in a format that the business can use.
This white paper discusses the role of data modeling in documenting, explaining, and clarifying the output of the various components of BI. Each component has different structures and requires different approaches for the data modeler. However, with careful use of modeling tools, not only can we avoid the risks of misinformation, we can also extend the benefits of fully understanding the designs of our systems.

Is a home equity loan or line of credit right for me?
Home equity financing uses the equity in your home to secure a loan. For this reason, lenders typically offer better interest rates for this type of financing than they do for other, unsecured types of personal loans. Typically, you'll be able to borrow an amount equal to 80% of the value of your equity. Home equity financing may be either a loan or a line of credit.
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, enacted Dec. 22, suspends from 2018 until 2026 the deduction for interest paid on home equity loans and lines of credit, unless they are used to buy, build or substantially improve the taxpayer's home that secures the loan.
Under the new law, for example, interest on a home equity loan used to build an addition to an existing home is typically deductible, while interest on the same loan used to pay personal living expenses, such as credit card debts, is not. As under prior law, the loan must be secured by the taxpayer's main home or second home (known as a qualified residence), not exceed the cost of the home and meet other requirements.
A home equity loan (often referred to as a second mortgage) is a loan for a fixed amount of money that must be repaid over a fixed term. Generally, a home equity loan:
With a home equity line of credit (HELOC), you're approved for revolving credit up to a certain limit. Within the parameters of the loan agreement, you borrow (and pay for) only what you need, only when you need it. Generally, a HELOC:
You may be able to deduct the interest you pay on up to $100,000 ($50,000 if married filing separately) of the principal you borrow under certain home equity financing plans. The interest you pay is generally deductible regardless of how you use the loan or line of credit proceeds (unless you use the proceeds to purchase tax-exempt vehicles). In other words, the loan or line of credit doesn't have to be obtained to buy, build, or improve your residence.
The best type of loan for you will depend on your individual circumstances. Generally, if you'll need a fixed amount of money all at once for a certain purpose (e.g., remodeling the kitchen or paying off other high-interest debts), you might want to take out a home equity loan.
Some HELOCs may cap the monthly payment amount that you are required to make, but not the interest adjustment. With these plans, it's important to note that payment caps can result in negative amortization during periods of rising interest rates. If your monthly payment would be less than the interest accrued that month, the unpaid interest would be added to you principal and your outstanding balance would actually increase, even though you continued to make your required monthly payments.

Regional Volunteer of the Year for the North West Region – Peter Williams
Regional Volunteer of the Year for the North West Region – Peter Williams
During 2012 he tackled several important issues that have been set in motion in the last few years, including the Burton Marshes Route 59, and the inherent dangers of the A540, both on the Wirral. His patience and persistence have ensured that positive progress has been made in the former project, and that funding has been sought to relieve the latter problem.
In addition, he is in the process of addressing a Right of Way problem in the Peckforton Hills: the proposed bridleway from Delamere to Oakmere. Peter has also had an input into the Chester and Cheshire West Cycling Strategy Consultation.
All of these projects involve a huge amount of time and commitment, in attending meetings, site visits and the writing of many letters and reports and Peter never hesitates to volunteer.

Robert Moss' heart, removed in August 2000
Alive and well, 61-year old Robert Moss donated his heart to the Science Museum in November 2000. But if his heart was there, what was inside his body? Three months earlier he had received a donor organ by transplant surgery at Papworth Hospital, Cambridgeshire. Around three thousand heart transplants are now carried out worldwide each year – but it hasn't always been a success story. Louis Washkansky, a 54-year old South African grocer, received the first human-to-human heart transplant on 3 December 1967. In the following year, 47 different medical teams followed the work of surgeon Christiaan Barnard, performing over a hundred heart transplants. But most recipients only survived for days or weeks, raising doubts about the value of the procedure. What would you do if you were in charge? On the one hand, this was revolutionary surgery, and perhaps it was just a matter of time before patient survival rates went up. On the other hand, it was expensive, and some doctors felt the money should be spent on proven heart therapies. Fear that hearts were being prematurely snatched from donor bodies added to the controversy. British surgeons all but stopped performing heart transplants in the 1970s. They began again at Papworth Hospital in 1979, when results from America were hopeful, and the moment of donor death had been redefined by the new brain death criteria. Robert Moss was delighted with his operation, and remarked that his old heart had achieved something he never could – a London address.

Glossary: human heart
a hollow muscular cone-shaped organ, lying between the lungs, with the pointed end (apex) directed downwards, forwards, and to the left. The heart is about the size of a closed fist. Its wall consists largely of cardiac muscle (myocardium), lined and surrounded by membranes (see endocardium, pericardium). It is divided by a septum into separate right and left halves, each of which is divided into an upper atrium and a lower ventricle . Deoxygenated blood from the venae cavae passes through the right atrium to the right ventricle. This contracts and pumps blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. The newly oxygenated blood returns to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins and passes through to the left ventricle. This forcefully contracts, pumping blood out to the body via the aorta. The direction of blood flow within the heart is controlled by valves.

Phils slip by Marlins with 10th-inning rally
Miami, FL – Chase Utley tripled home the go-ahead run with two outs in the top of the 10th inning, and the visiting Philadelphia Phillies topped the sputtering Miami Marlins, 3-1, in the opener of a three-game series.
Ben Revere hit a one-out single off Miami reliever Jon Rauch (0-1) and raced home when Utley ripped a ball into the right-field corner.
"(Rauch) left a changeup up that I was able to get down the line and with Ben's speed, he was running on the pitch, he was going to score easily," Utley said.
After Rauch intentionally walked Ryan Howard, who doubled twice, Michael Young provided more breathing room with an RBI single. Young hit a grounder up the middle and Marlins shortstop Adeiny Hechavarria made a great play to keep it in the infield. He flipped the ball to second, but Donovan Solano failed to get his foot on the base before Howard arrived.
Jonathan Papelbon earned his second save of the season by retiring the Marlins in order in the bottom of the 10th. Phillippe Aumont (1-0) picked up his first major league win after pitching the ninth.
Domonic Brown had two hits and knocked in the other run for the Phillies, who have won three games in a row.
Ex-Phillie Placido Polanco accounted for half of the Marlins' four hits and drove in their only run.
Miami, at 1-9, is off to the franchise's worst start since opening the 1998 season 1-11.
"I know the effort is there. I know guys are playing hard and working hard and trying to get on the other side of this thing. We just got to stay at it," said Miami manager Mike Redmond.
Philadelphia starter John Lannan and the Marlins' Ricky Nolasco each tossed five scoreless innings before giving up a run in the sixth.
After stranding a runner at third base three times in the first five frames, the Phillies finally broke through as a two-out double to left field by Brown plated Howard.
A two-out single by Polanco brought home Juan Pierre, who had been hit by a pitch, from second. Pierre and Polanco were teammates on the Phillies last year.
The Marlins threatened in the eighth, placing runners on the corners with one out, but Philadelphia reliever Mike Adams got Solano to ground into an inning- ending double play.
Game Notes
Right fielder Giancarlo Stanton was a late scratch from the Marlins' lineup on Friday with a sore left shoulder ... The Phillies won 10 of 18 against Miami last season ... Lannan has allowed three earned runs or less in 13 consecutive road starts.
