State's list of blue-green algae advisories grows for lakes and ponds
The Massachusetts Department of Public Health's list of ponds and lakes under a blue-green algae advisory has expanded -- from nine a week ago to 12 on Friday.
The list now includes a section of the Charles River, from Newton to the Moody Street Dam in Waltham, Cliff Pond in Brewster, and East Monponsett Pond in Halifax.
The state posts advisories if the cyanobacteria levels exceeds 70,000 cells per milliliter.
Some algae blooms can produce toxins and irritate the skin and eyes, trigger asthma-like symptoms and if swallowed in large amounts, harm the liver.
Blue-green algae has been a problem this summer throughout the Greater Boston area, closing popular swimming spots. Many communities have warned swimmers to stay away and residents to keep their pets out of the water.
Boating is still allowed along the affected section of the Charles River, but paddlers should avoid touching the water and wash off after any contact.
This algae thrives in nutrient-rich, warm water, according to state health officials, and this year's weather has likely contributed to its spread.
A total of 12 water bodies are under advisory, up from 9 last week. In addition to the three new locations, they include Crystal Lake in Newton, Horn Pond in Woburn, Lovell's Pond in Barnstable, Moll's Pond in Eastham, Santuit Pond in Mashpee, Stevens Pond in North Andover, Walker's Pond in Brewster, Wedge Pond in Winchester and West Monponsett Pond in Halifax.

Was The Rangers 2013 Season A Successful One?
In Baseball Prospectus's annual PECOTA projections released every February, the Rangers were predicted to compile an 87-75 record and finish second in the American League West behind the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim. Keep in mind, PECOTA was assuming Matt Harrison would take the mound more than twice, Colby Lewis would return from injury, Lance Berkman would accumulate more than -0.2 fWAR, and David Murphy would not generate the worst offensive season by an outfielder in baseball according to Fangraphs.
Matt Harrison did only make two starts, and lost both of them. Colby Lewis did not pitch in one single game due to various injuries. Lance Berkman did yield a -0.2 fWAR and did not have one single hit in the second half of the season. David Murphy did produce the worst offensive season by an outfielder in baseball, even worse than Vernon Wells. The team also received replacement level production once again from first baseman Mitch Moreland. Adrian Beltre posted his first negative DRS of his career, and first negative UZR season at 3B since 2007. Elvis Andrus produced a first half slash line of .242/.300/.280. Ian Kinsler generated a wRC+ of 93 in the second half. Nelson Cruz was suspended the final 50 games of the regular season schedule due to the Biogenesis scandal. Leonys Martin was a stellar center fielder according to most defensive metrics, but was a below average offensive player according to Fangraphs Offensive metric at -1.6. The number one prospect in baseball heading into 2013, Jurickson Profar, generated a -0.4 fWAR. Only one starting pitcher from the opening day rotation did not spend time on the disabled list, and that was the perceived inconsistent Derek Holland. Rookies Nick Tepesch and Justin Grimm started a combined 34 games. Martin Perez broke his arm in spring training and did not pitch in the big leagues until May. The average pitcher's age of 27.9 was the eighth youngest in Ranger history. Joakim Soria did not make an appearance until July. Derek Lowe actually played on this team at one time.
Despite all of this incredulous misfortune, the Texas Rangers were still able to win 91 games, and actually outperform their PECOTA projections by four wins. The fact Texas was even in the pennant race was quite miraculous. Had the Cleveland Indians not become the first team since 1971 to win their final ten games of the regular season, the Rangers would have secured a wild card spot and earned the franchise's fourth consecutive trip to the postseason. The 91 wins are the fifth most in team history, and one more regular season win than both the 1996 AL West Championship squad and 2010 team which advanced all the way to the World Series.
The Rangers 12-15 September is believed by many to be the reason the team failed to advance past game 163. However, five of the ten playoff teams experienced losing months during '13, with the Dodgers having the same 12-15 record in September. Fans and the media tend to overemphasize games in September, and treat the games with much more importance, but the fact is the games all count the same in the standings. While the reader will often hear the ubiquitous terms collapsed and choke when referring to the '13 Rangers, the 12-15 September had more to do with regression to overall talent level and a random distribution of events. The Reds and Rays both produced 12-15 months in June and August respectively. The Rangers having a losing final month for the second consecutive season is disappointing, but does not make the season a total failure. A lot of teams have similar months. Texas just yielded theirs at the worst possible time.
In today's sports society, there seems to be this belief that if a team fails to make the playoffs, the season should be considered a failure. One simply does not think this is a logical or rational way of thinking because plenty of formidable teams in the past have missed the postseason. The 1980 Orioles won 100 games, and missed the playoffs. The 1993 San Francisco Giants won 103 games, and failed to advance to the postseason. More recently, the 2005 Indians were victorious 93 times and failed to play past 162. The fact the Rangers were unable to play baseball in October does not mean 2013 was an utter failure. 91 wins is usually enough to advance to the tournament, but it just was not quite enough this year.
Based on all of the adversity, injuries, and under performance from key contributors, the 91 wins by the Rangers in 2013 should be enough to consider the season a successful one, and give any Ranger enthusiast reason to be proud of them, not indignant towards them. While the season did end with some level of disappointment, Ranger fans should be optimistic about the future with a shrewd front office, Yu Darvish's sweet honey, Elvis's fantastic sparkles, Alex Rios' long legs, Martin Perez's change-up, and Leonys' bombastic cannon of a right arm.

Here are some of the best stories going on right now in College Baseball.
April 15th 2009 will be known for a major upset in Baton Rouge LA where Nicholls State picked up a 3-1 victory over the LSU Tigers. The most impressive thing was that the Colonels used eight different pitchers in the game with none of them giving up more then a single hit. You can check out the full recap by clicking here.
Arkansas need a two run rally in the bottom of the tenth inning to break a three game losing streak as they knocked off Louisiana-Monroe 10-9. Could Arkansas be going through a mid-season swoon or are they overrated? The full recap from the game is available by clicking here.
Kansas State completed a season sweep over intrastate rival Wichita State on Wednesday with a 4-3 win. Kansas State is now 28-9 overall and setting themselves up for an NCAA Regional bid.
Ohio State dropped a tough 8-7 game against Kent State in a matchup between the two best programs right now in the state of Ohio. This was a bigger win for Kent State as they don't have many quality wins and will be on the outside looking in if they lose in the MAC Tournament. Kent State currently has an RPI of 77 and looking at their schedule only Bowling Green State is in the Top 180 in RPI at 176.

BMI formula metric Australia
The BMI formula metric Australia is for both adult men and women. Only height and weight are used by the BMI formula. The BMI formula metric Australia does not factor in age or sex.
A question people often want to know,
is what weight should they be according to the BMI scale. The BMI formula web app conveniently shows
the weight for the BMI ranges for your height.
BMI formula
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. The BMI formula is calculated as the weight of a person in kilograms, divided by the square of their height in metres.
Enter weight in kilograms.
Enter height in metres.
BMI is often displayed as a whole number with no decimal. Often when dieting, it is good to see who close we are to the next BMI number. Since we measure our weight to 0.1 kg, I found including two decimals shows the change in the BMI number as the weight changes 0.1 kg. This figure has been included for convenience.

Each time the form comes home I think 'I wonder how much begging I am going to have to deal with'. See, at my daughter's school, we get Hot Lunch forms each month so my daughter and I sit down together and fill it out.
To my disappointment, we get to choose from hot dogs & chips, macaroni and butter, fried chicken tenders with fries and pizza. I am all into being the cool mommy but need to hold my ground, however I do order her one slice of pizza each week. So sue me or as my friend Ally says 'Don't be getting all up in my chili'
Then I see the sad puppy eyes and the guilt starts in the pit of my belly and goes all the way up to the back of my eyeballs. She wants to fit in and be a part. I know that feeling and I know the way it feels when you are the only one that is not doing what the others do.
So, here is what this mommy does to help bridge the gap: I send her to school with these Baked Chicken Tenders. She smiles + I smile + her body smiles = win-win! See, math does not stink.
Crunchy Baked Honey Mustard Panko Chicken Fingers: These crispy chicken tenders are made with boneless, skinless chicken breast tenderloin that are crispy thanks to Panko bread crumbs—no deep-frying necessary.
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup yellow mustard
2 tablespoon orange juice
1 large clove garlic, minced
2-3 lbs of chicken tenderloins or chicken breast, cut into strips
olive oil cooking spray
1/2 cup whole wheat or flour all-purpose
3 large eggs
2 cups coarse dry whole-wheat Panko bread crumbs
1 teaspoons salt, divided
1. Combine the honey, mustard, orange juice and garlic in a bowl and whisk until combined. Pour the mixture into a storage bag, add the chicken and marinate 30 minutes to a few hours.
2. When you are ready to bread the tenders, preheat oven to 450 degrees and prepare the baking sheet by placing a cooling rack on it (it helps crisp the entire coating).
3. Create the following assemble line: A shallow bowl containing the flour, a lightly beat eggs in the second shallow bowl, and the breadcrumbs in a third shallow bowl.
4. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt to the bowls containing the flour and the one containing the breadcrumbs and mix well.
5. Spray the cooling rack with the cooking spray. Coat each tender in flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the tender in the egg and let excess drip off. Then roll in the breadcrumb mixture and place the tenders on the prepared rack.
6. Bake the tenders for 18-20 minutes depending on thickness of the tenders.
Love baked tenders? Try these Pretzel Crusted Baked Chicken Tenders or if you like heat, try the Sriracha Tenders. Oh, and naturally, you need a mustard dipping sauce!

Continued from page 2
No one, women in particular, wants to be disliked or considered abnormal.
So we hurt our economic interests while serving the gender roles we're expected to inhabit. Hence they negotiate much worse than men, whose stereotypes allow, in some cases even force, them to be aggressive.
Wait, Why?
Stereotype threat also makes us ask for less right up front.
When negotiating in a study where the women were told their task would diagnose their negotiating skills, their initial proposal was $827 lower than when told their task was not a test of negotiation skills.
Men showed no differences between asking salaries in either situation.
Similarly, when both men and women were placed in the diagnostic setting, women's asking salaries were about $813 lower than men's. In the non-diagnostic setting, there were no discernible differences between men's and women's asking salaries.
The researchers ascribed this result to "prevention-focused" women as opposed to "promotion-focused" men.
When free of stereotype threat, women focused on promotion and achieving their salary goals. The men in the experiment focused on promotion regardless.
The Moral of the Story
As the researchers put it, "the stereotype suggesting that there are sex-differences in negotiating performance seems to create sex-differences in negotiations."
Women under stereotype threat begin their negotiation with lower asking salaries and focus on preventing their own failure, rather than focusing on promotion.
Although there exists no clear prescription for overcoming the stereotype threat effect, women can learn how to be better negotiators by recognizing its existence. Unfortunately, it will take more than women's acknowledgment of the stereotype threat effect before it disappears altogether.
Before stereotype threat becomes a thing of the past, both women and men need to recognize and counter it. Although men are not affected by the stereotype threat effect when they are the employees negotiating a higher salary, they do allow stereotype threat to flourish, albeit unknowingly, when they are the employer being negotiated with. Only when people on both sides of a salary negotiation fight against the stereotype threat effect will women truly be able to negotiate fairly and without fear of prejudice.
Here's what Annamarie has to say about herself:

This is an interesting point raised, and similar concerns have been voiced by the German Oracle User Group (in German: http://www.doag.org/home/aktuelle-news/article/doag-und-oracle-wollen-das-thema-oracle-vm-3-gemeinsam-angehen.html)
I have recently had a go at Oracle VM 3.1.1 -it consists of 2
components. The server, based on Xen isn't too bad at all, but the
management interface has still to catch up with vServer. For example, I
had a NullPointerException (VM Manager is written in ADF) when trying to
create a repository. The error message then urged me to look into a file
in the weblogic domain to find out what went wrong. I didn't consider
that too user friendly. But to give Oracle credit, the product has
evolved a lot, and they are pouring lots of resources into it. Which is
good for me because the mainstream kernel benefitted from the kernel
hackers working for Oracle as well.

I'm writing this post sitting in bed watching the Biggest Loser. I love this show but it really hasn't inspired me as much as I'd hoped it would.
Nonetheless, I did make it to yoga this morning. Today's teacher was Lisa. I really missed Lisa. I didn't know how much I did until I was in her class again. She is so hands on in the postures – it really helps everyone in the class. She's not scared of sweaty, smelly people like I am. She wraps her arms around you or around the position and shows you where you can go.
She also gives you mini backrub during the on the floor, on your belly Bikram yoga poses – which is just a slice of heaven in the middle of those postures.
Today's posture is Standing Head to Knee Pose or Dandayamana-Janushirasana. I took a few steps back in this pose by missing so much class. My legs aren't as strong, but they're getting there. Unfortunately my balance was getting better with having my forehead to knee but that was lost and I'm trying to build that up again too.
I do think this posture does wonders for my thighs not rubbing against each other. As crazy as this sounds, if I'm consistent with yoga I don't have the rubbing thigh problem. Curious to know what would happen if I'd stay even more consistent.
Got my period today. I hate the rag and doing yoga – but I'm going again tomorrow! Holla! Namaste.

"Artistry in music is still alive and well and Marc Malone is living proof of that once again with this new single!" – MUEN Magazine
Marc Malone is a Celtic-Hard Rock Artist, Producer and Guitar Virtuoso. The first of a kind. He possesses the passion to bring genuine and inspiring music back into the mainstream. After nearly a decade of playing guitar, Marc set his sights on becoming a singer/songwriter, alongside his guitar playing prowess. After finding an outlet through his writing, Each song was penned about incidents that occured throughout his life, and calling it therapy, he started work on his demo EP, Shades of Reality. As well as being diverse in musical style, each song on that record is credible in relation to people's lives, whether it be homelessness; "Don't Forget," or not losing hope; "Living Proof."
From self-promotion alone, the EP charted in the top hundreds of all releases on Amazon. Marc finished his first tour of Britain during the summer of 2011, accompanied by radio spots along the way. Before starting work on his much anticipated debut LP… Marc has promised that this record will have a heavier feel musically, exploring darker lyrical themes, and have a much more technical sound. The album will be in two parts, Part I is expected for an early summer release.
"Marc Malone has great potential for the future of guitar" – Paul Turner, Jamiroquai.
Marc has been within the industry since the age of 16, and has performed for members of Kasabian, Jamiroquai and more. Marc has been compared to Artist's such as Slash with his artistry, as well as acts like R.E.M., Alice In Chains & Metallica, all of whom he affirms are influences to him. He has recently released the single, "The Need For Greed" which received great words from 'Underground Guitarist', as well as radio in the UK & US. It can be heard on those Assame radio stations nationwide accompanied by interviews with Marc. The single has also been warmly received on US Radio with airplay in New York, Seattle, Philadelphia and California, alongside debut single, "Living Proof" which had received acclaim through reviews by MUEN Magazine and The Rock Queen Jenny Tate on Rhubarb Radio.
Marc Malone, based out of 'the home of heavy metal' in Birmingham, England, is currently working on a double EP (Debut Album), to be released in two parts. Part I to be released early summer, and Part II to be released in late winter. The album is a concept album called "Shadow Side", based on the Carl Jung Shadow Psychology.
"The idea came from when I was reading about how Jung explains not only do we have shadows of ourselves, i.e. repressed feelings and memories, but also we are repressed by society. This album is basically a tribute to anyone who feels like they don't belong, I'm here to tell you, you are not alone." Currently in the studio writing and recording, gearing up for a UK national tour in the summer and a 2013 tour across Europe and the US.

The knockout game involves "unprovoked attacks on innocent bystanders," according to police who have had to deal with it. A retired officer explained, "Normally it was a group of black males, one of which would strike him as hard as he could in the face, attempting to knock him out with one punch," says retired Sgt. Don Pizzo. The victims are typically not robbed, but simply punched with no provocation. Such attacks have been reported in Illinois, Massachusetts, Missouri, and New Jersey.

Put an end to awful post-processing
Horribly post-processed photographs are everywhere. Even professionals are having their photos disqualified from important competitions for over-processing their work.
So much of the awful post-processing can be avoided. We just need to pause and to consider some of the questions that I touch on in this ebook.

We just thought this was funny as hell. Uncharted: Drake's Fortune has you using a map at certain points throughout your adventure; it offered vital clues for solving puzzles. Well, they took that theory to comical proportions for this ad, but at least they included a brief glimpse of the excellent gameplay, too. Thankfully, you never have to worry about losing or destroying that valuable map in Uncharted. All you have to focus on is surviving and unraveling the mystery, which is more than enough to provide you with an awesome gaming experience.

A friend once described my writing schedule as like hiccups. If you've been a regular reader of Signposts on High Trails, you have noticed that my "writing hiccups" have paused. After a three-year stint of blogging and editing and ghostwriting two books (Spiritual Formation by Dr. Larry Houck, and Make That Baby Happy! by Barbara Walker), my writing hiccups suddenly stopped!
During the last six months, I have spent time with my family and new great-granddaughter in Florida, tended my roses, plotted and planted the flower garden I've always dreamed of, and tried to learn more about my Nikon and Photoshop. I needed a break from the computer and I've enjoyed these last months.
For me, writing is more than a hobby. It is the means of answering a call to ministry. I don't want to post a blog just to stay on a schedule. I want to post because I have something to say. When I was a child we had testimony meetings and I felt compelled to stand up and say, "I'm glad Jesus saved me," in every Wednesday prayer meeting. My father quietly took me aside and said, "Mart, don't testify just to testify. If you have something to say, say it, but don't just get up because everyone else is." That is the way I've felt about posting a blog. I don't want to waste the precious time of readers unless I have something of value to say.
Words of value, however, do not come easily. They require keeping an eye on cultural and world developments, time with God, time with the Word and solitude. Writing is work. Oswald Chambers wrote:
The vows of God are on me, and I may not stay
To play with shadows, or pluck earthly flower,
Till I my work have done.
And rendered up account.
And so … It's time for me to stop planting roses and start posting Signposts on High Trails.

Hi guys!
I just recently launched my first Kickstarter campaign for the Kosan Travel Pack System.
We had a great start, and were funded within 4 hours. Since then, we've steadily increased until yesterday when pledges slowly started to die off. Since then, we've been getting less traffic and almost no new pledges. We feel like we've completely stalled with 24 days left to go!
Does anyone have any recommendations on how to keep the interest alive? And how to drive more backers to our page?

Who's Better: One Direction or Nirvana?September, 18, 2013
On New Year's Day 1989, four musicians signed a contract with independent label Sub Pop Records in Seattle. They were Chad Channing, Jason Everman, "Chris" Novoselic and Kurt Cobain. They would later change label, lose two of their number and take a gamble by assimilating a new drummer, Dave Grohl, the rest being history…
That contract, published online for the first time a few weeks back, was worth $600 (equivalent to just over $1,000 in today's currency), and required the group to produce a full length album in one year. The album that resulted was named Bleach after an AIDS awareness poster slogan that encouraged needle-users to sterilise their equipment. Bleach has sold 1.7 million copies in the United States and around the same amount globally. Let's round that down to 3 million. In twenty-four years. I'm also guessing that Cobain's suicide in 1994 added a few to the pile.
In 2011, Topman-encased super-cute boy band One Direction signed a record deal with Simon Cowell's Sony subsidiary label Syco. It had similar terms to Nirvana's, but this was worth £2,000,000. Following a third-place running in X Factor, their debut album was bound to be a chart success, and we all know it was. In fact that album alone has sold 4.5 million units so far, and has topped music charts in sixteen countries. In two years. And not even one member of 1D has plastered the tabloids with a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head.
Now, before we get down to the heavy duty accounting, let's take a very quick look at the subject material juxtaposition between Bleach and Up All Night. The former, a grunge album containing nothing more than the work of the aforementioned foursome, is extremely dark. It consists of trade mark psychotic, chaotic riffs and drumming, and lyrically it's about as heart-warming as a hospital's aortic transplant freezer. Cobain claimed it was a critique of the corporate music world, but that dimension isn't very apparent; the track in question contains three lines, repeated for three minutes. It's headbanging perfection, though.
Headbanging isn't a strong point of Up All Night (and by that title, the band probably mean Up Past Twelve). Musically, the whole pop album is a myriad of clap-tracks, catchy light-electric chord sequences and textbook drumming. It might not be genius, but it permeates every part of your brain, so much so that even hating it is difficult when you've got Na Na Na stuck in your head. Overall subject material includes: overcoming self esteem issues, heartbreak, innocent lust. Perhaps due to their time-consuming Microphone Holding Techniques sessions, the team of seventeen writers hired for the album included none of the band's members. Estimated total weight of hair gel used for album cover photo shoot: eight tonnes.
So get off your ath let's do some math. Math math math math maaaath.
- Nirvana's Bleach has sold 3 million units in 24 years, originally for $1,000. Units sold per year per dollar invested = 125.
- One Direction's Up All Night has sold 4.5 million units in 2 years, originally for £2,000,000 (roughly $3,117,400) . If that rate of sale stays the same until Up All Night has been available for 24 years, it'll be 54 million units in 24 years. In that case, units sold per year per dollar invested = 1.125
- Meaning, for every dollar put into each band at the very start of their respective careers, Nirvana managed to shift 125 units per year, and One Direction a measly 1.125
- 125 divided by 1.125 = 111.1
In summary, Nirvana are one hundred and eleven point one times better than One Direction. In the end, it turns out that people would rather listen to an hour of suicidal mania about drugs, sex and death than an hour of bought lyrics about a love interest that never existed. Substantially so.
Because that's what success is all about. Cash in hand.
And I don't just mean music, I mean life.
Right guys?
PS – I'm not an economist.
PPS – factors ignored: difference in methods of music purchase between 1989 and 2011; price of television appearances of both bands; the likely death(s) of one or more of One Direction in the next 22 years.

Manchester City must overcome French champions Paris Saint-Germain to reach the Champions League semi-finals after Friday's quarter-final draw in Nyon saw holders Barcelona paired with Spanish title rivals Atletico Madrid, who lost the 2014 Champions League final 4-1 to Real Madrid after extra-time.
Manuel Pellegrini's City side have been handed a tough task in their first appearance in the quarter-final of the tournament against the team who ousted Chelsea in the last 16, but they will be pleased to have avoided holders Barca, who face Spanish Liga rivals Atletico, their closest rivals to win the Spanish league.
Atletico are second in La Liga, eight points behind Barca after 29 matches.
PSG have already secured the French Ligue 1 title in March with eight games to spare. They have lost only one match in France collecting 75 points from 30 fixtures.
Their most notable success in Europe remains lifting the old Cup Winners' Cup 20 years ago.
Barca are 6/4 favourites for the Champions League under Luis Enrique boosted by a a 5-1 aggregate win over Arsenal in the round of 16.
Pep Guardiola's Bayern Munich face Benfica of Portugal while Real Madrid meet German side Wolfsburg.
Guardiola becomes City manager this summer, but is aiming to depart Munich as a European champion after his side completed an incredible 6-4 aggregate win over Juventus in the last 16.
Bayern trailed 2-0 at home, but recovered to level at 2-2 on the night with Thomas Muller scoring in stoppage time to earn the German champions a draw before scoring twice in extra-time at the Allianz Arena to sink the Italian champions, who had lost last year's final 3-1 to Barca.
Bayern's last success in the tournament came in the 2013 final when they downed Borussia Dortmund 2-1 at Wembley.
Full draw:
Wolfsburg v Real Madrid
Bayern Munich v Benfica

Hear that buzz, Broncos fans?
It's the hype building about rookie running back Ryan Torain, who is preparing to finally make his NFL debut, perhaps as soon as Sunday at Invesco Field at Mile High against the Miami Dolphins.
Since when has the midseason debut of a rookie — especially one drafted in the fifth round — been so highly anticipated?
"I think a lot of people are putting pressure on his back by predicting him to do things when he's just trying to come out and do his job," veteran running back Michael Pittman said. "I think he feels it, but as a young guy, you want that opportunity."
Consider that when Torain dislocated his left elbow and damaged ligaments during training camp in early August, he had been steadily moving his way up the depth chart and likely would have been in contention to earn a starting job by September.
At that point, the coaches were so impressed with their rookie tailback that head coach Mike Shanahan even offered up a comparison to Terrell Davis.
"He's one of the most gifted running backs I've been around for a long time. He is very similar to Terrell Davis when he came in," Shanahan said Aug. 6, the day Torain was carted off the practice field.
Consider that each of Denver's other three active running backs are suffering from some sort of injury, whether it is Pittman's bruised ribs that will likely have him questionable for the Miami game or Selvin Young's sore groin that has kept him out of the past two games or Andre Hall's sprained wrist suffered earlier this month.
Now about three months removed from the elbow injury and subsequent surgery, Torain is the healthiest back Denver has.
"It looks like that a little bit," Torain said. "Everybody's got nicks and bruises that we fight through."
And consider that Denver's offense, so potent through the first three weeks of the season, is looking for a spark after scoring fewer than 20 points in each of the past four games.
"I want to take up that big role that everyone is counting on and take it and run with it," Torain said.
So while just about everyone in Broncoland is looking forward to Torain's debut, the anticipation is nothing compared to what Torain himself is experiencing. It's been more than a year since Torain last played in a game. He missed the final seven games of his senior year at Arizona State with a fracture in his foot. And his elbow injury came three days before Denver's first preseason game.
"It's been a long time waiting," Torain said. "I've been waiting since the sixth grade. I got postponed again when I got my injury, so I'm going to be excited."
Torain remained in Denver during the bye week to continue working out with strength and conditioning coach Rich Tuten. He said his elbow feels "100 percent" better and that he was not limited in practice on Monday.
He still wears a protective brace on his left arm in practices and will wear it in games as well. None of that matters, though, as long as he's playing, he said.
"I was used to sitting out, so I coped with it well and now I'm back. The time felt like it flew by," Torain said.

The Dolphins
Miami at Denver, 2 p.m. Sunday, KCNC-4
For the record: The Dolphins are 3-4 and in last place in the AFC East.
Last game: Beat Buffalo 25-16 to snap a four-game losing streak to the Bills.
Who's hot: Linebacker Joey Porter, below, leads the NFL with 10 1/2 sacks. Against Buffalo, he sacked Trent Edwards twice, forced a fumble for a safety and recovered a fumble.
Who's not: Miami appears to be moving away from its Wildcat offensive formation that made headlines this season. The Dolphins ran the direct-snap formation only six times for 35 yards against Buffalo.
Key stat: Miami's defense is allowing only 3.7 yards rushing per carry.
FYI: Any talk of Ted Ginn Jr. being a bust might be premature. Ginn, the team's controversial first-rounder in 2007, caught seven passes for 175 yards Sunday. That's bad news for the Denver secondary.
Coachspeak: "We wanted to be aggressive. And aggressive was taking shots, and aggressive was trying to advance the ball downfield." — Miami coach Tony Sparano, on the team's game plan against Buffalo
Back in business
Rookie Ryan Torain might make his Broncos debut Sunday vs. Miami. He missed all of the preseason and the first seven games of the season after dislocating his left elbow on Aug. 6. A quick look at Denver's newest offensive weapon:
Age: 22
Height, weight: 6-feet-1, 225 pounds
How acquired: Fifth-round draft pick in 2008, No. 139 overall
College resume: Averaged 92.2 yards per game in his senior year at Arizona State. He was averaging 5 yards per carry before suffering a foot injury that ended his season. Rushed for 1,229 yards and seven touchdowns as a junior.

The full-strength return of the original Fleetwood Mac — the late-'6os British blues gods who made roughneck-pub mayhem out of the Elmore James and Jimmy Reed song-books — would have been a comeback worth celebrating. The Dance is just the Lindsey Buckingham-Stevie Nicks lineup serving microwaved Rumours. For a live album, The Dance runs on low heat, as if the Mac were content to merely revisit the hits rather than truly reinhabit them — and risk going deeper into the emotional dysfunction that inspired the songs. And there are no fresh kicks in the four new originals, certainly none that beat Buckingham's extremely caffeinated rereading of 1987's "Big Love." More than 25 million of you already own copies of Rumours, Tusk and Tango in the Night. Think hard: Do you need this?
You may figure you don't need Cheap Trick, either, especially if you're still steamed about those power-ballad records the band made in the '80s. But give this one time and volume; you'll come to love it. The title and black-and-white cover evoke the napalm-in-stereo glories of the original Cheap Trick album, the group's 1976 debut. Yet the dark heart and barbed-guitar snag of this Cheap Trick sneak up on you: the white-knuckle creep of "You Let a Lotta People Down," Robin Zander's shredded-Lennon bellow in "Yeah Yeah." More toxic-guitar ravers like "Baby No More" would have been cool, but that's a minor beef. After all this time, these guys have still got it. You should get it.

18th Century Print of Wild Turtle Dove by Manetti
More questions? Get in touch
A beautiful etching print of a wild european turtle dove ("Tortora Selvatica") by the artist Saverio Manetti. It is handcolored with the realistic colors of browns and grays that are found on a turtle dove. You can see the artist's admiration for this bird as it is rendered very meticulously. With its mournful voice today the European turtle dove has become the emblem of devoted love. This print is from one of the largest surveys of ornithology attempted in the 18th Century, from the grand book project called "Storia Naturale degli Uccelli". This rare book with hand made painted prints that ran in an edition of 600, and were published in Florence. The plates for the book were made Lorenzo Lorenzi and Violante Vanni; Lorenzi and the Vanni were the artists, engravers and water-colorists for the work while Manetti was responsible for hand-writing the cursive text on the nomenclature of species. All birds were carefully examined and drawn from life in Gerini's aviaries, an affluent Florentine Marquis. Manetti was born in Brozzi in 1723 and was a well known physician, artist, and naturalist. He died in Florence in 1784. This is an amazingly rare hand painted print in great condition for its age. There is slight foxing on the paper but here it is preserved in archival presentation materials. It has been framed archivally with an acid free matt, in a frame that is 22 x 17.5 inches; the print is 13.5 x 10.5 inches. A rare find.

Researchers use fake Facebook profiles to harvest data from thousands of users
Facebook's security system failed to stop researchers using fake profiles to collect the personal information of thousands of users.
This Article Covers
Social media
Facebook's security system failed to stop researchers using fake profiles to collect the personal information of thousands of users.
The University of British Columbia researchers were able to collect 250 gigabytes of information about Facebook users in two months, including e-mail addresses and phone numbers, according to New Zealand reports.
Computer Weekly's Buyer's Guide to GDPR Part 2
In this 12-page buyer's guide, we look at the tools that could be used for compliance, the incentive to create a smarter, leaner business, and the myths surrounding the new rules.

The fake profiles sent friend requests to 5,000 random Facebook users. Once the requests were accepted, the "socialbots" then put out friend requests to friends of the initial group.
The data collected included the personal information of users who had not been infiltrated by the socialbots, but were connected to infiltrated users.
According to the researchers, even at a conservative pace, the socialbot network was able to collect an average of 175 new pieces of publicly inaccessible data a day.
However, Facebook claims it uses a combination of three systems to combat such attacks and is constantly updating these systems to improve their effectiveness and address new kinds of attacks.
Facebook has also expressed concerns about the methodology of the research by the University of British Columbia, but the research team says it received ethics approval for the study. The data researchers collected was encrypted, made anonymous and deleted after they completed their data analysis.
The research report is to be presented at the 2011 Annual Computer Security Applications Conference in Orlando, Florida from 5 to 9 December.

Well, there's a very simple, easy-to-follow cure to those who suffer from procrastinating. Would you like to know? I'll tell you later.
By the way, it looked like a nice class, it was a bit too late for me to sign up (as it's 2pm…. Hawaii time).

Ivan Alsup isn't sure how he got the nickname Drivin' Ivan.
"I think it may have started with Coach [James] McKee somewhere early in the season," the Overton High point guard said before practice Monday. "But I'm OK with it."
The term aptly describes the all-out play of the wiry 5-foot-7, 150-pound Alsup, who constantly drives into the teeth of defenses either for hoops or dish-offs to teammates.
This season, he rapidly has etched his name alongside some of the great Overton guards, notably players like Marcus Jemison, Brandon Wharton and, more recently, Mookie Betts, who finished in 2011.
He heads into his final home game on senior night Tuesday against Hillwood, hoping his team can finish the regular season strong.
"People tell me that [Betts] and I play alike," he said. "I'm honored by that. One of my goals this season was to break his career assist record. I'm second, about 200 behind Mookie, and I won't catch him. But I'll settle for second behind a player like he was."
One of his big disappointments was not reaching the state his sophomore year two years ago, when he played backup point behind Betts. Overton lost a close game to Clarksville in sectionals.
Alsup leads this season's Bobcats in both scoring (15.3 points per game) and assists (5.1 per game). Despite his size, he is second in rebounds (5.3) behind only post Shaquille Davis.
"I enjoy making a good pass as much as I do scoring," he added.
Overton is 13-12 overall, having lost nine in games decided in the final minute and two at the final buzzer. The Bobcats are 5-5 in the district with two tight losses to Cane Ridge and two others to McGavock — all four by four points or less and cannot be overlooked at tournament time.
"Since midseason, I think our team has played well under pressure, particularly with so many close games," Alsup said. "We have the potential. If we start playing with more discipline and as a team, I think we will be hard to beat.''
After a three-game week, Overton then braces for the District 12-AAA tournament, which opens next week at Cane Ridge High. The Bobcats likely will play either Antioch or Hillwood in their postseason opener.
"Ivan has not been afraid of anything since day one," McKee, who is in his fifth year as Overton coach, said. "He handles the ball for us, and he isn't afraid to take the last shot.
"He breaks the press by himself. He's captain and great leader. And at point guard, he is our second leading rebounder, which is pretty amazing. He's going down as one of the great guards in Overton history. One day, his picture will be on our wall."
Alsup wears No. 5 for a reason.
"If I had chosen No. 1, that would be an ego thing where one would think I was more important than anyone else. I didn't want to be No. 3 because that was Mookie's number, and I didn't think I should wear that," he said. "I chose No. 5 because, as captain, I wanted to be one of the five players who comprise a complete team.
"I've tried to establish myself as more of a leader this year, encouraging some of the younger guys."
Alsup had some good company when he grew up playing at the Boys and Girls club. His running mate was his cousin and current Ensworth High star Corn Elder.
"We were four years old," Alsup said. "We went undefeated all three years, ages four, five and six. It would have been nice to have kept playing with each other, but we split up in middle school."
Alsup wants to continue playing in college.
Cumberland University in Lebanon has shown some attention. Trevecca Nazarene coach Sam Harris also has attended some games.
"After college, I'd like to play [professionally] overseas," he said. "Or I might want to coach as I love kids."
More immediately, Ivan hopes to drive his team to some tournament victories.

You're asking what is LDR? It stands for Light Dependent Resistor or Photoresistor, which is a passive electronic component, basically a resistor which has a resistance that varies depending of the light intensity. A photoresistor is made of a high resistance semiconductor that absorbs photons and based on the quantity and frequency of the absorbed photons the semiconductor material give bound electrons enough energy to jump into the conduction band. The resulting free electrons conduct electricity resulting in lowering resistance of the photoresistor. The number of electrons is dependent of the photons frequency.
The resistance is very high in darkness, almost high as 1MΩ but when there is light that falls on the LDR, the resistance is falling down to a few KΩ (10-20kΩ @ 10 lux, 2-4kOmega; @ 100 lux) depending on the model.
Light dependent resistors come in different shapes and colors. LDRs are very useful in many electronic circuits, especially in alarms, switching devices, clocks, street lights and more. There are some audio application uses such as audio limiters or compressors. It is used to turn ON or OFF a device according to the ambient light.
On electroschematics.com we have some circuits that uses the photoresistor.
They are all tagged as LDR. Here are some of them:
This musical light alarm circuit is very simple, uses only 7 components, a LDR and a 3.6 V battery or 3 x 1.2 volts rechargeable batteries. The well-known UM66 is used as the sound generator and will give a pleasent wake up alarm.
Most of the PC desk lamps available in the market light up whenever there is an input power. These don't take into account whether there is a real need for the light or not. Here is an intelligent PC desk lamp circuit that overcome the problem.

It's just because it didn't have the relevant information, I'm sure everything here is right…

Homecoming Game photo album
Preview story on Homecoming Week
In the media: "Backups step up for Sac State in Big Sky win over Northern Colorado," The Sacramento Bee
Sacramento State's Homecoming was truly a spirit-raising experience this year. Not only did Saturday's football game result in a satisfying 37-21 victory over Northern Colorado, but the week leading up to the game illustrated just why current and former students take such pride in being Hornets.
Students lined up on Tuesday and Wednesday at the Thank-a-Thon booth, writing notes of appreciation to alumni who continue to support the University through the years. On Thursday, Head Coach Marshall Sperbeck and the football team were treated to an enthusiastic display from fans during the annual Homecoming rally outside the Hornet Bookstore. On Friday, our most experienced alums, the Golden Grads, gathered for a luncheon and reminiscing. And Saturday was the perfect time for prospective students to visit the campus with their families for Future Hornet Day, as the younge people not only received valuable information about applications and academics, but also witnessed Hornet spirit at its loudest and proudest.
The Sacramento State Alumni Center parking lot began filling up early Saturday afternoon as students and alumni brought out the barbecue grills and wore their finest green and gold. The tailgating, annual player walk and golf cart float parade got everyone fired up for a big game that capped a Homecoming experience all Hornets will remember and treasure. – Craig Koscho
