I want to go fully modular this time around but I don't want to pay ridiculous amounts of money.
As long as it's 700W+ and has support for two video cards (7870 XTs), I'm happy.
The two cheapest fully modular 700W+ PSUs I can find are:
EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B (120-PB-0750-KR) £64
EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2 (220-G2-0750-XR) £93
The other fully modular PSUs seem to be £100+
Obviously the EVGA SuperNOVA NEX750B is a decent price.
Any thoughts?

Admissions Director Q&A: Kellogg School of Management's Kate Smith
Jul 24, 2012 | 0 comments
When Beth Flye, Kellogg admissions director since 2003, returned to her native North Carolina in spring 2011 to head up admissions for Kenan-Flagler's new online MBA program, Kellogg decided to mine its own alumni for a replacement. Kate Smith, a 1998 graduate of the Kellogg MBA program, had spent the past 15 years building a career in brand management, first at General Mills and then at Pepsico. When Kellogg came calling, she was ready.
"It's just incredible to have the opportunity to come back to Kellogg," Smith told us. "For me, having a deep understanding of the school's culture and heritage is really what's most exciting," she said. "My personal experience was truly life changing on so many levels."
Smith returned to Kellogg in February 2012 as assistant dean for admissions and financial aid across all of the school's programs. Having remained engaged with the school as a recruiter and in other capacities as an alumnus, she was able to hit the ground running and hasn't had any major surprises since she got there, she tells us. Read on to learn more about what she's most excited about in the year ahead, how she views the admissions process, her advice for applicants sitting down to write their essays and more.
Clear Admit: What is the most exciting event, development or change taking place in the year ahead at Kellogg?
Kate Smith: Envision Kellogg – our new strategic framework – is definitely the most exciting development, and we are at the forefront of its introduction. As we announced and shared publicly, we have really identified a road map for how we will reshape business education and thought leadership. This is our plan to equip and inspire leaders for the global marketplace. We did an extensive review and are excited now to see Envision Kellogg come to life.
As you think about the translation of Envision Kellogg to applicants, when it comes down to it we are really looking for the best and brightest talent from around the world. As applicants are engaged in looking at being a part of our future community here at Kellogg, they should know that we have identified a multi-year strategic road map, and that they are going to have the opportunity to participate in the dialogue of building out that agenda. We are actively looking at how to re-balance the academic portfolio, enrich our curriculum and expand our footprint around the world, and our students are going to be an integral part of that process.
Having said that, here at Kellogg we have always been a pioneer in thought leadership. Envision Kellogg really just means that there will be more and more opportunities to do so.
CA: What is the one area of your program that you wish applicants knew more about?
KS: On the broad level I would say that Kellogg has always been a pioneer and a bold thinker in management education, and there are so many great elements and aspects of all of our programs. But one that we are really looking to grow and promote is our one-year program. Kellogg is the only top U.S. business school to offer a one-year MBA, and applications for the one-year program are up 22 percent from 2009. The one-year program is really an ideal program for students who have met core coursework criteria in their previous education.
Coming off of Envision Kellogg we did a thorough assessment of market demand, and we definitely see growth in that program. It also continues to be a strong draw for international students – many of whom are looking for an opportunity to come for a year, have an intensive, great experience and then return to their countries, or elsewhere, to pursue their careers.
CA: Walk us through the life of an application in your office from an operational standpoint. What happens between the time an applicant clicks "submit" and the time the committee offers a final decision (e.g. how many "reads" does it get, how long is each read, who reads it, does the committee convene to discuss it as a group, etc.)?
KS: The Kellogg admissions process is thorough and holistic as we seek to embrace individuals who really embrace our culture. We engage in a 360-degree review and try to get to know applicants on all levels. The Admissions Committee is made up of students and admissions officers and directors in the admissions team. One of the things we are proud of is the student component and participation in this process. We see this as a unique element. Many times they are asking, "Is this someone I can see as a classmate?"
So the first stop is a student review. Then there is an officer review. And from there it goes to final review and sign off by a director. At times we come together and discuss applicants. So each individual application is usually reviewed collectively for about three hours. In terms of which candidates we come together to discuss as a group, ironically it's sometimes the most amazing applicants. In truth, we engage in discussions on many different topics. It's unique to each applicant and each file. Sometimes we will engage on the level of, "Did you see these attributes?" It's not necessarily for a specific reason but rather as an opportunity to further understand each candidate.
We have a two-part application process where we first ask students to submit application basics and then we do an interview. We seek to interview every student who applies. Everything taken together – the information applicants submit, the interview, the essays, the recommendations – it is all part of our process of trying to understand the individual and how he or she will contribute to the Kellogg culture.
CA: How does your team approach the essay portion of the application specifically? What are you looking for as you read the essays? Are there common mistakes that applicants should try to avoid? One key thing they should keep in mind as they sit down to write them?
KS: I think the essay is the channel by which applicants can demonstrate their authentic selves and a greater level of depth. To me it is important that applicants represent themselves candidly – who they are, what they are passionate about and why they want to be a part of the community.
We are not, from an admissions standpoint, looking to steer anyone away. We seek to evaluate the best and brightest talent as we look to find those who are the best fit and the strongest additions to the Kellogg community.
We want students to really invest in representing themselves and convey the uniqueness of who they are in their essays. Many times I find applicants trying to guess what we are looking for instead of taking the time to reflect on what about them is unique, what special attributes they bring to our community.

"Irish author Casey's impressive series debut, a taut serial-killer thriller, delves deeply into the psyches of three women. . . . Casey expertly combines a perceptive crime drama with an insightful look at the women's overlapping problems."
—Publishers Weekly
"Casey deftly . . . cranks up the tension and pace, blending a page-turning and realistic police procedural with a tense character study reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith's psychological explorations."
—Sunday Independent (Ireland) on The Burning

The women's volleyball season came to a close in the quarterfinal round of the WHAC tournament. Their opponent, Aquinas College, entered the match on an 18 match winning streak and they opened the first game with a 25-18 win over CU. Cornerstone fought back and evened the score at 1-1 with a 25-23 win. But the Saints finished the match with a 25-17 game three win and 25-16 game four win. Both teams finished with 9 team blocks but the Saints hit .208 for the match to .038 by the Golden Eagles. Aquinas' Molly Lounds led all attackers with 16 kills. Megan April led CU with 9 kills and Becky Albrecht dished out 26 assists while Abby Miedema was the dig leader with 20.
Aquinas advances to the semi-final match vs. Madonna on Friday. Cornerstone finishes the season with a 15-25 overall record.

Looking good for today as well, though I still need to figure out what to make for dinner. So far so good with lunches! Yay!
Mama to DS born 8/6/10 and new baby DD 1/6/13
a. Who you are
Working, homeschooling mom to three little ones (7, 4, and 3 weeks). I'm a nurse so I work full time hours in half a week so it *almost* feels like I work part-time. The days I'm off are blocked together so for 4 days I'm a SAHM and then I'm a working mom the other 3 days. I'm currently on maternity leave, though.
b. Where you are going (your financial goals)
I'm slated to go back to work on February 5th, which means I won't get paid until the 3rd week in February. Sadly, my DH's income does not cover all of our bills. I have about $1,000 saved up, but we are going to eat through that really fast I'm afraid. I'm trying not to stress about how things will get paid this month and next, but really looking at my budget spreadsheet yesterday hit home how bad things might get.
Besides surviving until March, our financial goals are to keep bills current, work on paying down debt, and put away as much money as possible into our sinking funds and emergency fund (e-fund is fully funded, but it's that $1,000 I mentioned that I had saved up...doubt it will make it through until March).
c. How you plan to get there
I don't strictly follow Dave Ramsey, but I do try to use some of his rules in how I use our money. I have a budget spreadsheet. I take out food and gas money in cash, and we do OK on keeping those categories within budget. DH and I both do use the card some for small purchases (coffee, occasional lunches). DH is a little worse than me, but I am guilty, too. I have a hard time talking to DH about money stuff and while he is theoretically on board with the plans, it can be difficult at times to keep him reeled in. He works long hours at a job he doesn't really like and feels cheated when he can't spend on even small things. While I understand the frustration, it's hard to get ahead with that entitled feeling over your head. And of course, I get resentful when he spends willy-nilly b/c I feel like I'm having to be the "grown-up" and I can't spend whenever the mood strikes me, etc, etc.
ANYWAY...step one right now is to keep all extraneous spending down this month and in February. The less I have to dip into our emergency fund the better. Step two is to call the IRS about last year's refund (long story) and see who is now claiming a part of that and if we're even going to see a dime of the almost $9,000 we've been waiting almost a year for. Step three is to get back on our sinking fund and debt snowball plan once my maternity leave is over (if there is opportunity for OT at work, I will try to do a shift or at least 1/2 of a shift each week).

Catholic wife to (DH 28); mommy to (DD 9), (DS 6), (DS 11/09), (3/10), (6/10), our (DS 1), and a surprise (DD)
I really want to be a true SAHM so that is a major goal we're working toward. DH is in a position to possibly double his income in a year or two (if he can stick it out at a job he's less than enthusiastic about) so that would probably cover me staying at home. In the meantime, we've switched health insurance to DH's job and I'm looking for a part-time job in an area about 2 hours from our current location. The job market for nurses pays substantially more than our current location. So even factoring in gas and childcare I think I'd make more or at least the same for less hours of work.
We also talk about eventually moving overseas or at least another state but we'll have to be in a better financial position for that.
We don't have retirement or kids' college savings to speak of, and we don't own a home. We recently took on a car payment b/c we needed a second car so I want to pay that off ASAP.
I've built sinking funds into our budget for things like yearly travel, presents, Christmas, and family pictures. Need to find a way to boost our savings amount to include sinking funds for the longer-term, big savings accounts.
OK, here's our January list so far:
1and 2- We were out of town so I spent for food and some small things at Target and DH was separate from us so I'm sure he spent, too.
3- DH bought lunch out. I told him last night to consider us dirt poor for the next two months. Not sure how long he'll remember that, but he got up and made his lunch this morning.

1/1: I sent DH to the store to pick up a pepper I needed for a recipe...I had bought it within the grocery budget the day before, but then DH used it without asking while fixing himself a snack...and then while he was at the store he picked up something else he wanted to make (completely disregarding the houseful of food we have, sigh). Only about $3-4, but still...
1/2: We didn't plan properly for our trip to the nature center, and DD was HUNGRY. Again, only spent $1, but see how's it's already adding up?
1/4: Gas and almond milk. Budgeted for, so it's okay.
a. Who you are
I'm Habitat, an artist and infant/childcare specialist. I am currently TTC my first child as a sole parent by choice (aka- "Single Mama by Choice"). I identify very strongly as an anarchist, a feminist and a queer. I live with nine of my closest friends in an urban anarchist collective and am politically active in my city.
I have worked as an "alternative" childcare provider since my early high school days, promoting gentle, compassionate care and self-facilitated education for young people of compulsory school age. I'm certified as a doula. I'm currently employed helping a single mother unschool her daughter and am a very part-time phone consultant for parents who need support and/or guidance in creating compassionate environments for their children to thrive. I'm also really interested in helping families with children get connected with the radical communities in their area.
I'm leaving for a 4-week trip on the 12th. But I will be traveling minimally with (hopefully) no housing expenses and intend to stick to my budget the whole time.
b. Where you are going (your financial goals)
Being more intentional with my finances is a very critical part of a long-time holistic health plan for me.
My Goals:
- Become current on bills and basic expenses.
- Become debt free.
- Start saving to buy land or otherwise invest in my future and that of my child-to-be.
c. How you plan to get there
Though it's against my current political/personal values, I was raised in a family that lived way beyond its means and am a consumer by training. I really struggle with this and take it seriously as an addiction. I have a very difficult time budgeting and staying out of stores. Though in many ways I live a life that is radically centered in people/community rather than things, money truly burns a dangerous hole in my pocket, keeping me in a cycle of stress and living "paycheck-to-paycheck".
My Resolutions:
- Relearn habits and be very intentional about spending. Stop ALL shopping for recreation/habit/anxiety. Find other things to do with my time.
- Commit to a budget. Live bare minimally on my wallet and budget to the penny. Eliminate ALL unnecessary spending
- Simplify by selling/donating/purging things I don't need and keep my life clutter-free. Keep things organized.
- Curate my environment to reflect me at my best. Surround myself with only the things that I love and which inspire me.
- Conquer debt and build security, a la Ramsey.
- Enjoy my life in ways that aren't about money.

2. Trip home today. We budgeted a set amount for this trip to the ILs, and for one of the first times, we actually stayed completely in budget!! I'm hoping that this will set the precedent for the rest of the year, that we can set a budget and stay within it. No extra spending, no impulse shopping, complete CONTROL!! Tomorrow I begin decluttering for the 2012 in 2012 Decluttering Challenge.
3. DH stopped for a haircut on the way home from work b/c I haven't had a free moment to cut his hair. There's room in the budget for it, but it wasn't really budgeted for.
4. Had a play date with friends today so no money spent.

and my way through my stash.
I am working out of the house today, and staying mindful of wants vs needs. (I packed food for a birth, even!) And this thread stopped me dead in my tracks for a quick couple dollar impulse buy on amazon last night during a bout of insomnia. Even though I could keep track of my spending on my own, posting it here definitely makes a difference.
I think I should join in too!
a. Who you are: I'm a 31 year old mom to a 6 year old girl. I married to Mr. Frugal in Oct 2010, and we have a little girl due at the end of Feb.
b. Where you are going: I really want to stay home when the baby is born. I'm the spender in this house though, so I know I need to make that happen. If I can't, then I'll have to do some part time work. We live on his income for the most part already, but my income is building savings, paying for random expenses, and paying for all the baby/midwife stuff. And my spending...
c. How you plan to get there: I've saved enough to buy everything we'll need for the baby, but I haven't purchased much yet. I've been waiting for sales and promotions for the bigger stuff, and registry completion discounts for the smaller stuff. Any income I don't spend now will give us more wiggle room later on, so I'm trying to keep that in mind as I spend right now. I will be spending quite a bit before the baby comes, but my goal is to buy what we need for the best prices possible. I'm also trying to change some spending habits so our decrease in income doesn't come as a shock to me.
Jan 1- Did some shopping at IKEA for stuff to organize my laundry dungeon. Did it with xmas money :)
Jan 2 - Found a good deal on a few baby items I wanted, and used gift cards I had purchased at cardpool.com to buy them
Jan 3 - Bought some groceries and gas
Jan 4 - We out to lunch because it was a co-worker's birthday (I ate cheap though)
Jan 5 -
Happily married to my soul mate, and a mommy of two girls + another baby due in June!
Had a baby! We are home now and feeling good. Dh took out some cash for hospital meals, the kids brought me flowers, and we bought some cell phone minutes. I have been sitting here updating my bills -- money looks good. We get paid tomorrow, so dh is going to do a big grocery trip soon. No other money to be spent -- just lots of nursing and snuggles and time with the kids.
Jan 1 --
Jan 2 --
Jan 3 -- 40.00 cash for hospital stay/food, 15.22 flowers, 13.12 cell phone minutes

1/1: I sent DH to the store to pick up a pepper I needed for a recipe...I had bought it within the grocery budget the day before, but then DH used it without asking while fixing himself a snack...and then while he was at the store he picked up something else he wanted to make (completely disregarding the houseful of food we have, sigh). Only about $3-4, but still...
1/2: We didn't plan properly for our trip to the nature center, and DD was HUNGRY. Again, only spent $1, but see how's it's already adding up?
1/4: Gas and almond milk. Budgeted for, so it's okay.
1/5: Dog food and kitty litter.

An agency's data can be its greatest asset, yet it can also be its greatest challenge. Many government agencies are not satisfied with the quality of their data, citing incorrect information, missing data fields and inconsistent standards as contributors to unsuccessful communications with constituents. Addressing these issues can be overwhelming as many organizations struggle to identify best practices for data quality management.
This Webinar will examine emerging usage scenarios for publishing, sharing, and managing government data, then suggest ways to leverage data management processes and tools to enable more effective data use. Topics to be discussed include:

Front runner for 2009 Game of the Year
I can't tell you much that you haven't seen or heard already so I'll jump straight to the highlights...
- Brilliant story
- Excellent voice acting
- Large open world that changes as the story progresses.
- Map exploration that reminded me of Metroid
- Well balanced combat system that encouraged timing over button mashing
- Great use of classic Batman gadgets
- Collectible system with special in game maps to help keep track of the ones that haven't been found
- Fan service in the way of bios, interviews and character trophies which flesh out the Batman universe
- Playing in detective mode for too long
- Final battle didn't quite fit the story and was a bit of a let down.
- Unreal engine makes character models look too shiny and rubberized. (particularly lesser characters like guards and thugs)
- Lack of a dedicated jump button felt annoying for a while, but after getting used to some of the gadgets, I didn't notice it any longer.
If you like games, you need to play this. It's just that simple.
**This review is based on play time consisting of:
Game Time: ~12 Hours
Single Player mode on Normal - completed
Single Player mode on Hard - about an hour in

Want 8 inch Tlock in good shapewith 3.27-3.73 Prefer local or within 500 miles so I can do trade face to face. Shipping would cost way to much. If further than that you absorb all costs to ship.

John Calipari
Andrew Harrison
Dakari Johnson
Julius Randle
Kentucky 74
Louisville - 69
THE MODERATOR: We're joined by Aaron Harrison, Andrew Harrison, Julius Randle, and Dakari Johnson. We'll start with an opening statement from Coach Calipari and then we'll take questions.
COACH CALIPARI: Another great basketball game. Proud of my kids. Told them before the game, you'll get punched in the mouth and you're going to taste blood. You're going to fight or brace yourself for the next shot. They fought. They never stopped playing. Big plays.
I will say this because he's not up here, Alex Poythress won the game for us. We were begging him the whole game to start playing, and he played at the right time. It was unbelievable how he finished. That's who he needs to be for us as we finish the year out.
Q. Two questions, Andrew, I saw you rolling away earlier, you were looking at your phone and you said: Oh God, you got a smile on your face. I'm curious what was it that you saw. And early on when things weren't going right for you guys what was said in the huddle to maybe keep you from not getting your heads down or not worrying about what was happening there early on?
ANDREW HARRISON: My mom just sent me like a long, long message telling me how proud of me she was and just made me really happy.
And with so much adversity we've been through all year, nothing we haven't seen. So we knew we were going to get hit and we'd have to swing back, and we did that.
Q. Aaron, the three from the corner, did you know it was good as soon as it left your hand?
AARON HARRISON: I mean, felt good. I mean, shooting the ball, you never really‑‑ you're not like guaranteed it's going in. But it felt pretty good leaving my hands.
Q. Andrew and Julius, how much pressure did you guys feel entering this game, obviously an opportunity to go to the Elite Eight on the line?
JULIUS RANDLE: I didn't really feel any pressure. I really wasn't worried about where this game could take us, I was just focused on the game and the game plan that Coach had for us. And that was really all my focus, I wasn't really worried about winning or losing.
ANDREW HARRISON: Like Julius said, every game is a big game now. Coach told us to look at it as any other game and play like that, and that's what we did.
Q. For the players, did you guys have a chance to talk to Willie after he was hurt? Did he say anything to you, kind of how that motivated you to go out and win it for him?
DAKARI JOHNSON: Yeah, we talked to him, and he just told us just to do it for him. So we want to just play every game for him and it's a big motivation for us.
COACH CALIPARI: The doctor told me he was absolutely going bonkers in the locker room for game, like for the team, cheering. They had to hold him down, he was going crazy.
Q. John, what do you think ultimately turned the tide that last four minutes and 11seconds, you're down seven points and came back?
COACH CALIPARI: Look, this game is kind of like the last game. Everybody's talking how good it is. We just got done. We're exhausted.
But I think it was Alex's block that got a basket, he blocked it. And then we come down and make a basket and all of a sudden it's five and I kept telling the guys, We're down two baskets, just play. We're down two goals. And we got to three points, all of a sudden just a little bit crazy and it was back on their plate.
But we're just‑‑ this team has fought the whole year. They're maturing right before our eyes. Andrew, I said, it's not fair what we're asking him to do. It's not fair. He's a freshman and we're asking him, I'm telling him at halftime, You've gotta run this team better. I'm looking at him. I'm like, I'm sorry I have to ask you to do it, but I've got no choice.
I look at Julius where they're running at him, the biggest play that Julius made is the pass for 3. Instead of shooting it. Now, three weeks ago he would have shot a hook to try to get that at the basket. Now, he's just playing the game as it comes.
And that's what‑‑ they're playing for each other. They have finally surrendered and lost themselves in the team. It's just taken us a long time.
Q. You had your scout team play physically, you know, this week, foul at Will, you sort of alluded that in your opening statement. But how ready were you for the physical play of Louisville and were you worried down 18‑5 that you weren't as prepared as‑‑
COACH CALIPARI: No, we were fine. I told him we took five 3‑point shots. What are you doing? You took five 3‑point shots and you're not helping each other on defense. Look where you are. I told them, Tennessee was down 16, should have won their game. So just play.
What was the other question you asked me? It's kind of late.
Q. Talked about getting prepared.
COACH CALIPARI: EJ Floreal, did he help you guys and Dominique? We just had EJ and Dominique, basically we put them in football pads and they picked a guy at full court and they hit, checked them and grabbed them and pushed them and we didn't want to hear any excuse, we just wanted them to play and I think it got them ready for the physicalness of the game.
Q. John, on the last play, their last shot against Wichita State you mentioned that had he made the free throw you were going to foul up 3. You let it go.
COACH CALIPARI: This is a different time set. There were 13seconds on the clock. That's why I did it. If there were five or six seconds on the clock, we probably would have fouled, and I would have put Dakari back in the game to rebound, but then he would have had to make a free throw if he rebounded the ball.
So with 13seconds I wasn't going to do it. I trusted us that we were small enough we could switch everything. So we were just...
Q. I don't know who had Russ Smith on the last play, whoever did, were you conscious that he was going to take the shot and talk about that defensive possession?
AARON HARRISON: They put him in a pick‑and‑roll and Dakari stepped up and guarded him actually, so Dakari got the stop.
COACH CALIPARI: That's his first stop of the game. (Laughter.)
Q. For any of the players, do you feel like in the last three weeks you've rewritten the history of this team and how you'll be remembered?
JULIUS RANDLE: Yeah, in a way I think we have. We just kind of had to put the past behind us and leave it where it was. It's a new season, the postseason. That's really all we can worry about, survive and advance, and we've gotta take one game at a time.
We carry momentum from the SEC Tournament and brought it to the NCAA Tournament. We're just taking it a game at a time.
THE MODERATOR: One or two more for the student‑athletes, we'll dismiss them and stay with Coach Cal.
Q. How big was Hawkins tonight coming off the bench?
A.It was great after the game. They cheered and hugged him. James got up and hugged Alex because he gave up eight straight points and almost gave up the game and Alex went in and saved us. So he hugged Alex. The guards were laughing. I mean, Dominique was terrific.
And the time he tripped I told him to post it when he was trying to drive, which was my fault. I'm looking at him like, Post the ball, and he was going to drive and tried to stop.
He's a great kid. He was ready. I just thought it was a better game for him than Jarrod. He's more of a pit bull. I thought he could play against those guys, and he did well.
Q. Coach and one of the players, whoever would like to answer it, there late in the ballgame, I don't remember how much time there was, there was a timeout called. Coach, you were meeting with the players at half court telling them to get over it and you got in the huddle with them and a lot of excitement and‑‑
COACH CALIPARI: I ran out to hug Julius or Alex. I ran out to hug Alex, I think, because he had done something that we needed him to win this game.
And he started playing the last five minutes of the game. And I just was so happy. I must have had 50 texts and as I paged through them everybody was saying, I'm so happy for Alex.
We're all happy for him. We all know how good he is. We're just trying to get him out of his own self's way, smile, have fun playing and do what you do.
He did. And I hope now this is how he plays from this time on.
THE MODERATOR: We're going to dismiss the student‑athletes and we'll take a few more for coach.
Q. Cal, the play that Julius makes, the pass he makes to Aaron at the corner, that's a play he's had chances to make during the year and didn't. How much does that say in terms of how much they've come to trust one another?
COACH CALIPARI: That's one of the things that we've really talked to individuals. And I said it before. I told them after the game again, if this was a 25‑game season, thank goodness it was a 30‑game season, we had five more games to get this thing right and get the plane down before the runway ran out and we were in grass.
Having to define roles is part of what you have to do as a coach. And we hadn't done it enough. And so now I think the roles are a little more defined in how we want guys to play.
I'll tell you who else I was happy with. Dakari played well today. Dakari played well today. That 3‑point play, that made free throw, that was huge. That just kept eating in their lead to where we could get it close.
So it was, whether it be the guards doing what we were doing, you know. So I'm just happy for them. A bunch of young kids out there having a ball playing, trying, fighting, knowing that we make dumb mistakes, we break down at times, but we don't stop. And that's all you want from your team.
Q. Did you have a chance to talk to Willie at all, any idea what happened?
COACH CALIPARI: It's not a good ankle injury. Let me just put it that way.
Q. Cal, has this team gone from whatever you felt about it, I know you said you never felt bad about them‑‑
COACH CALIPARI: I never give up on a team or a player, ever. And this team, I kept telling all you guys, it was the fun thing to do to attack these kids individually. They're no good, they can't play, they're this, they're that. It's one thing after another.
They took it on and they pushed it aside, and they kept trying to get better. They kept believing in each other. They kept believing in our staff.
But I don't give up on teams. I wasn't going to give up on this team. It was just a matter of time, and thank goodness we had enough time with all freshmen to get it right before things ended.
Q. Is this sort of turning into maybe one of your more rewarding groups because of that?
COACH CALIPARI: I don't want to say that. I've coached 20‑some teams and I've had many, many play well in March and many, many play their best basketball at this time, and I'm not going to say that. There's no favorite team or favorite player. I've done this too long.
Q. Like you mentioned about the fight with this team, LSU, they got down 22‑6, they did come back. Florida, they had a 15‑0 run, even though they lost, was that the one thing you could hang your hat on even when this team was struggling?
COACH CALIPARI: Well, just so you know, before the game, our staff talked today and we knew how this would start. They're going to pee down their leg is what I said. They will pee down their leg, and let's just be positive and keep them going. Am I allowed to say that, John?
Q. I'm okay with it.
COACH CALIPARI: And they did. And they took all jumpers, why would you take jumpers because you don't want to be aggressive, you're afraid you may make a mistake. You shoot 3s, it's an easy shot. It's a bailout. And we almost expected it. And we did expect it.
And I told him at halftime we expected you to start like that. We were down six against Wichita you're down three, just play.
THE MODERATOR: Anything else for Coach? Thank you, Rick. We'll see you tomorrow.
COACH CALIPARI: Did you say Rick?
THE MODERATOR: I'm sorry.
COACH CALIPARI: Okay, Tim. (Laughter.)
THE MODERATOR: I blame it on the hour.

Statement of Significance (as of designation - November 5, 1961):
In February 1862, a Confederate brigade of 2,500 Texans marched up the Rio Grande Valley, with the intention of driving through Albuquerque and Santa Fe, and onto Denver; 1,300 Federal soldiers moved to intercept them. The armies met at Glorieta Pass in the Sangre de Cristo Mountains. The battle of Glorieta Pass (March 26-28, 1862) ended a Confederate invasion of New Mexico that threatened to seize a large part of the Southwest.
Traffic on NM 50 has been determined through a number of studies to be the single-most damaging impact on the battlefield properties (one structure and cultural landscape directly impacted). Vibrations from a constant flow of vehicular traffic (including tractor-trailers) on NM50, development on private land within and next to the battlefield, unauthorized access, and lack of money to purchase land within both sub-units of Glorieta Pass Battlefield continue to cause significant loss of historic resources and intrusion in the core of the battlefield. The prolonged acquisition by the park of the battlefield property results in continual loss of historic resources and pre-empts the park from meeting its congressional mandates (1990) of preservation and education for those resources. Vibration mitigation panels remain in place on two of the walls in the one surviving structure located in the core of the battlefield (Pigeons Ranch Sub-unit) and occupied at the time of the battle. Vacant contemporary buildings remain in the core of the Battlefield, Pigeons Ranch Sub-unit. Pecos National Historical Park continues to manage the Glorieta Battlefield. Historic resource studies are lacking for the battlefield and requests for NPS project money to conduct a baseline archeological inventory survey are not within the projected funding tables through 2010.
There are no changes since the last reporting period.
Recommendation/Change since last report:
Park management should continue to work with the NM Department of Transportation to arrive at a solution to highway safety and preservation of the Glorieta Battlefield. An archeological baseline inventory should be conducted for the Glorieta Unit of Pecos NHP. A Historic Structure Report should be completed for Pigeons Ranch Building. Land within the legislated boundaries of Pecos NHP should continue to be acquired.

The State Department has spent $70,000 in taxpayer funds to purchase advertisements on seven different Pakistani television stations. No, the ads don't defend the First Amendment, or the right for a private American citizen to make a film about whatever they want, instead the ads essentially apologize to radical Islamists for the actions of an American filmmaker who insulted their Prophet Muhammed.
Seven Pakistani television stations broadcast U.S. government public service messages Thursday featuring President Obama and Secretary of State Hillary Clinton denouncing a film clip insulting Mohammed. State Department spokeswoman Victoria Nuland confirmed the ads were produced and paid for by the U.S. Embassy in Islamabad, at a cost of $70,000. They aired on the same day as the army had to be called in to prevent violent protestors from breaching a diplomatic enclave where the embassy in located.
First off, the Obama White House and State Department, including Secretary Hillary Clinton herself, said the film "insulting Islam" has nothing to do with and has no connection to the government of the United States. Despite this claim, the U.S. Government is turning right around and rapidly spending taxpayer money to try and appease Jihadis over a film they....had nothing to do with. Second, this pathetic response is coming from the same side of the aisle that decries the use of "God" on public property, in schools, on our currency, in our Pledge of Allegiance, in political speeches, etc. After all, it was at the DNC where God got booed. Apparently, booing God as a party is okay but a private citizen insulting Islam is unacceptable.
You know who really deserves an apology? The American people and the families of slain Americans overseas as a result of radical Islamists rioting in the streets because their feelings are hurt. Not to mention, these protests aren't the result of a "film" at all. The film is being used as a scapegoat by the Obama administration so they can avoid responsibility for their failed Middle East policies. The riots are anti-American and the State Department's efforts to attack the First Amendment in the name of appeasement, is also anti-American.

What's so good?
By Rachel Lynn Skotarczyk | Feb 23, 2013 | Total plays: 9,575
Their goal is simple: "We make sunset inspired music with funky bass lines," but I suppose their manifesto can be interpreted in many ways -- sunsets don't always imply disco.
Their newest track, "Follow You," reminds me of the stoic musical landscapes built by Tourist or Cosmonaut Grechko. Happiness is the deceptive cover; the bright tip of the overall emotion, but look a little deeper and you'll discover a current of melancholic longing.
It doesn't take a sunny disposition to enjoy Monitor 66 -- the soul will translate depth and feeling however it sees fit, so whether you're taking a triumphant leap into your future or pensively observing it from afar, "Follow You" will inspire you to tackle it either way.

At the AMD Technical Forum & Exhibition in Taipei, Taiwan, the chip supplier showed off its future AMD Fusion Accelerated Processing Unit (APU) codenamed "Llano."
Apple rumors are always interesting because it's about Apple--probably the most closely watched computer and device company in the world. This AMD rumor is just that--a rumor.
AMD's new A8-3850 graphics chip goes on sale, offering capable budget gaming performance.
Chipmakers AMD and Nvidia quit an industry consortium that distributes a common PC benchmark. AMD is claiming bias, but the BAPCo group and Intel don't agree.
Advanced Micro Devices will move its Fusion technology into higher-performance mainstream systems with a new series of processors.
The latest AMD chips combine a CPU and GPU into a single unit, and are aimed at mid- to high-level laptops.
There's a significant interest in AMD's Fusion chip versus Intel's Atom. And that means more un-Netbooks, like Sony's 11.6-inch Y series--very deliberately not labeled a Netbook.
AMD sends candy and a note saying, "I heard that Sandy B. broke your heart..."
While CES isn't always a hotbed of computer news and product announcements, there's always enough new stuff to keep our attention--especially as the competition between traditional laptops and tablets heats up. These are some of the trends and stories we expect you'll be hearing much more about in January.

35 year old man | Charter Oak, CA, USA | Seeking women 23-45 within 60 miles of Covina, CA
Active within 24 hours
Real men shift gears, play sports, and DON'T play women!
Hello! Hola! Ciao! "Let's go for a little ride." - Dominic Toretto, "The Fast and the Furious" I'm honest, witty, respectful, open-minded, sympathetic, and insatiably ambitious. I revel in holidays with family, especially when we have confetti eggs on Easter, and delight in hanging out with friends. I prefer to be engaged in running the bases and "retiring the side," gaining some yards and denying the opposition, shooting hoops and "playing D," "driving for show and putting for dough," hammering in a goal or slide tackling, but also enjoy a movie night, especially cuddled with that special someone. (So what if I revoked my Man-Card?) As a born and bred Southern Californian, the diversity of Los Angeles has always kept me enticed, and I know there's some nook or cranny I have yet to explore. Gaining an interest in the performing arts and improving my wine palate are aspirations as well. (A Gewurtztraminer or Magia Nera are what I usually enjoy, but there are always more.) Before I give up the all the goods and leave nothing to wonder about, let's have a little fun... 10 Random Tidbits About Me, 1 of Them False 1. I bumped my head hard on the seatback of Superman because I put my hands up before takeoff. 2. I've been caught for speeding at 110 miles an hour. 3. "I walked five miles in the snow!" Ha, ha, no, but while learning to ride the bus in college, I stopped too soon, and I walked home from Grand Avenue/Shadow Mountain Road, about four miles with two hills lugging my backpack in the heat. From then on, I learned where all my stops were. 4. I discovered as a youth that I have a knack for voices and movie lines. 5. I can say "thank you" in 25-30 languages (I learned while working in customer service during college just by politely asking how.) 6. I met Ice Cube at the 7-Eleven I worked at in Walnut. 7. Although we usually play with chips, one time, I won $8.00 in a game of 7-Card No-Peek Poker, No Wilds, beating my uncle's Full House with a Royal Flush. 8. When I was 14, I hadn't pitched for three years, but kept practicing in my backyard, targeting a specific area of the wall with a tennis ball. I was put in with bases-loaded, no outs, and struck out three straight batters with nine straight strikes to the same spot; eight fastballs looked at, the last was a swung-and-missed change-up. My consistency reaped the reward. 9. I once made paella for a work potluck, but forgot the saffron. I used other seasonings, and heard no complaints. 10. It was my first solo flight, and post 9-11. I was sent to the high security line at Oakland Int'l. for wearing a huge jacket and laced sneakers. And, one man's boarding pass wasn't stamped, so he had to back through security. We left Oakland 15 minutes late and arrived in Ontario 5 minutes early. All right, then! Who's the one? She's a woman to share good times and we could be each other's Last-First-Dates. She is a woman that is down to earth, intelligent, outgoing, has ambition and goals, and has accomplished some of them. She has a rapier wit, shares many similar interests, and brings some differences to present a challenge! A love of sports (watching and/or playing) is a bonus, and I don't mind "getting beat by a woman," but she will have to work for victory. Could you be her? I usually e-mail first, but if you see me first, you are more than welcome to e-mail me, and tell me which tidbit is false. Let's explore the possibilities. "Good night, and good luck." - Edward R. Murrow, "Good Night, and Good Luck

Middle of the Road
I relish amusement parks, any Southern California beach, a great view from the mountains or a skycraper, the Seattle metropolitan area, Coeur D'Alene. The view from the hills of the V.A. Portland was breathtaking.

peated many times, each empirical pseudorandom variable provides information on the standard error or other parameters of interest. In many settings this approach can overcome analytic intractability or uncertain distributional assumptions by massive computer calculation (DiCiccio and Romano, 1988, 1990; Laird and Louis, 1989). Particular success has been achieved for various forms of regression models (Faraway, 1990; Huet et al., 1990), including generalized linear models (Mapleson, 1986; Rothe, 1989; Moulton and Zeger, 1991). Specific bootstrap applications have been developed for survival analyses and mortality estimation (Wahrendorf et al., 1987), longitudinal studies with repeated measurements (Moulton and Zeger, 1989), teratogenicity (Carr and Portier, 1992), and human genetic studies that include investigation of gene-environment interactions (Konigsberg et al., 1991).
Traditionally, toxicology has focused on finding the lowest-observed-effects levels (LOELs) and no-observed-effects levels (NOELs). Less emphasis has been placed on identifying the shape of the dose-response curve; typical experiments have compared 3 or 4 doses with a control regimen. In examining data from such studies, unsophisticated analytic techniques may not detect or may not properly define the true dose-response relation. Rothman (1986) cites an example of the relation between water-chlorination levels and brain cancer. Despite a monotonically increasing trend in outcome, an argument was made for a lack of association, against the evidence of simple visual inspection. Analysis was done by using pairwise t-tests against the lowest category, rather than a test for trend. The data were interpreted as suggesting a threshold between the third and fourth exposure categories. Nonparametric smoothing provides an estimate of the expected value of an outcome as a function of the exposure variable of interest, without making a priori judgments on the shape of the dose-response relation. This method can show indications of thresholds and nonlinearities in the dose-response curve. Alternating-conditional-expectations (ACE) regression models and generalized additive models are also valuable for examining dose-response relations. These models make fewer explicit assumptions about functional form than do linear models, for example, and hence their results are less likely to be biased. The price for this reduction in bias is a reduction in sensitivity to detect real effects.
Where data are not necessarily linear and the investigator has some notion about the shape of the underlying relation, parametric nonlinear models can be used. Examples are periodic regression (e.g., fitting sine,

Volvo Car UK opened their new headquarters in Norreys Drive, Maidenhead on Monday, December 17 after 26 years based at its previous location in Marlow.
More than 80 people have been transferred to the new headquarters from the Marlow branch, which has now ceased operations, with the move being made for the company to benefit from the rail and road transport links of Maidenhead and its proximity to London.
Nick Connor, managing director of Volvo Car UK, said: "These are very exciting times for Volvo in the UK with the launch of brand new models like the V40 R-Design and V40 Cross Country, plus the V60 Hybrid in 2013. Both of these cars express modern Volvo values of design, technology and Scandinavian luxury.
"With this office move, the UK headquarters for Volvo now also shares that same ethos and provides the perfect platform on which to build a progressive, dynamic and above all, modern vision of Volvo for the future."

It's haboobening again: Another dust storm hits Arizona (VIDEO)
Arizona faces down its fourth mayhem-spreading dust storm in what one wag has deemed the "Summer of Haboobs."
The Summer of Haboobs sure isn't shaping up to be as fun as the Summer of Love.
As yet another dust storm swept over Arizona yesterday, a dozen grit-lost automobiles met on an interstate in an ear-shattering mass collision. They then sat there smoking for hours with emergency officials on hold until the air stopped resembling the inside of a vacuum bag.
Haboobs are a regular feature of the Southwest Monsoon, a time of summer when high pressure gathering in the east Pacific Ocean directs waves of moist sea air northward. This year's crop is a bit rowdier than usual, though. Stretching up to nearly a mile in some cases, they are arriving with regularity: Two alone have struck in the past four days.
Yesterday's was the fourth really big dust storm in Arizona this summer. It's not uncommon for a handful to occur during an average year, but what is uncommon, as at least one meteorologist has noted, is the power of 2011's haboobs. They have knocked down power poles and P.O.'d countless car buffs by painting their rides with desert dirt. Chalk up the dustiness of these particular haboobs to abnormally dry conditions in Arizona – the rainfall around Phoenix since last October is more than three-and-a-half inches below average.
Want to know what to do when a haboob comes gusting at you?
To believe this video (which two commenters have said is probably from earlier this year), you're supposed to run outside and water the dirt surrounding your home. Presumably this prevents it from lifting off and joining its dirt friends partying it up inside the cloud. And what a party! This dust storm is fabulous in pink:
Here is an interesting view of yesterday's haboobs. It shows two dust storms apparently at loggerheads:

I have just become a contributing member here. I genuinely did not know that this option was possible until tonight
I have been a member here for nearly 2 years and I never knew what being contributing member meant... yes an oversight on my behalf but I always (wrongly!) assumed that they were members who made very helpful posts or were very active on the board.... only tonight did I notice the 'Add Contributing Member' option on the drop down member under my username.... and when I clicked on it to see what it meant, I was embarrassed to see what I could have done to help Pandy's sooner than this
Pandy's has played such a major role in my healing journey. Before I came here I felt so alone, so isolated, so different from my friends, and that there was no one in real life that I could turn to who would understand. I felt like I was on this journey alone and felt overwhelmed with the range of emotions that go hand in hand with being a survivor of CSA and SA. I came here and I found friends. People who care. People who 'get it'. I found a place where I can be me, where I feel safe. A place where I feel like I wont be judged or ridiculed no matter how I am feeling.
I don't know where I would be without Pandy's. If donating here means missing out on something less important, then I am only too happy to do so and glad that I am in a place where that is my choice.
I understand that not everyone is in a place where this is an option for them, but I wanted to highlight this option, just in case there are others on the board who are unaware of this option like I was.
Last week I was borrowing money for T.... this week I am contributing to Pandys and it feels

'Project Runway's' Tim Gunn calls out Kenley Collins as the show's problem childAdd to Favorites |
Tim Gunn, even after an incredibly long day, is the essence of a dapper gentleman.
The mentor of Lifetime's "Project Runway" surveys the contestants' new lounge at Parsons School of Design, admires the huge photos of scenes from past seasons and settles in for a long talk with Zap2it.
The Thursday show shoots at the Manhattan college where Gunn taught for 29 years. Among his missions as a teacher was that students learn the history of fashion and how it relates to whatever is going on in the world. He has an upcoming book on the history of fashion, and his philosophy as a teacher was quite similar to his as a mentor. It boils down to the three words that have become the show's motto: "Make it work."
Q: Did you think "Project Runway" would last 10 seasons?
A: I never expected it would go for two seasons -- not to disparage the show. This is really surreal.
Q: So many unscripted shows fail. Why do you think this lasted?
A: Same reason for why as a teacher for 29 years, I was thoroughly engaged every year for 29 years. There was a new crop of students every year. What's so compelling is I don't know what they will produce. I don't know what they will do.
Q: What surprises you?
A: Where they were at 7 o'clock and where they are now (several hours later). I look at their work. It is the embodiment of "make it work." They are able to go from risk to pulling out great work.
Q: Sometimes the clothes are just out there; at some point does it seem like all risk?
A: The more avant-garde clothes, it's who they are. Fashion is nothing if not subjective.
Q: What designs do you know will not make it, and what drives you crazy?
A: An inadequate presentation or sloppy work will not make it.
Q: With all the challenges over the years, what has been the craziest?
A: Those that involve nontraditional materials: the pet store, the hardware store.
Q: When designers create outfits that are wacky -- say the polka-dotted hot-pants jumpsuit with patent leather buckles in the season premiere fashion show in Times Square -- it seems as if they have no interest in designing for women in their real lives. How do you advise them?
Q: Can you usually pick the winner?
A: This is underscored by my teaching experience: I would make certain assumptions that were proven false. By challenge four, I have a pretty good idea.
Q: How much time and advice do you give the designers?
A: I have to give them space and distance, otherwise I would become this relentless nag. I like to be with them at fittings, before the runway shows.
Q: Where did your mantra "make it work" come from?
A: I've been saying "make it work" forever.
Q: You seem to get along with all of the contestants, but has there been one who was the problem child? And what behavior in contestants bothers you?
A: Kenley Collins of Season 5. She was belligerent. And when they are full of themselves and sassy, when I feel, "What is this person doing here?" and it is all about attitude.
Q: One of the reasons "Project Runway" is successful is that it crosses so many demographics. Why do you think this show appeals across gender, age and cultural groups?
A: Generally speaking it is captivating and compelling to watch people who do something, who do what they do.

Freedom Writers
Freedom Writers proves that one person can make a difference. Read on:
You have to assume that it's a sign of humanity's general goodwill that there are so many stories like Freedom Writers to tell. Needless to say it helps that this film, like many other recent entries in the canonized genre, is based on a true story. But whether it's The Blackboard Jungle, Stand And Deliver, Dead Poets Society or Dangerous Minds, there's more than a little to be gained by offering a reminder that one person — specifically, a determined teacher — can make a difference.
However, one can't help but wonder if all that goodwill necessarily translates into audience interest at the box office. Dead Poets Society is the top earner of all documented "good teacher" flicks, with $95 million in receipts. But most similar movies petered out at around $40 million, which hardly seems like enough to sustain the subgenre through more installments. All of which begs the question: Is Freedom Writers actually any good? The answer, thankfully, is yes. But will you care one way or the other? We're not so sure.
The film features an estimable pedigree of acting talent, anchored by multiple Oscar-winner Hilary Swank (Million Dollar Baby) as Erin Gruwell, an heirloom-pearl-clad young teacher who is thrown into a world of gangs and drugs when she starts work at a Long Beach high school. Despite admonitions from coworker Margaret Campbell (Imelda Staunton) that they cannot be instructed, Gruwell teaches her kids about Holocaust survivors like Anne Frank and then encourages them to create journals to tell their own stories. Meanwhile, her husband Scott (Patrick Dempsey) and father Steve (Scott Glenn) fear not only for her physical safety, but her increasingly dogged commitment. As she encounters more and more opposition for her ambitious plans (including from her superiors) Gruwell is forced to decide how far she will go in order to inspire her disaffected, gang-member students to actually care about getting an education.

Tuesday 3pm - San Mateo - Half Moon Bay, fair surfing
Princeton jetty, the spot of Kings: Mid-day high tide, knee to chest high, sunny, cold, almost non-existent wind, clean. Typical beginner-friendly close-outs on the south side and decent-looking shape next to the jetty, peeling but not quite barreling. Heard it was crowded at LM so I came here and had some fun. Saw a guy pig-dog a 3-foot-high barrel.

C. 20418 This report, "Medical Technology Assessment: A Plan for a Private/Public Sector Consortium 7 '' was prepared by an Institute of Medicine committee headed by Jeremiah A. Barondess, M.D. The planning project was undertaken in response to growing concerns in both the private and public sectors expressed at a meeting convened by the Institute of Medicine in June 1982 about the lack of a coordinating entity for the assessment of medical technologies.
