WASHINGTON – New York City was especially hard-hit by Sandy. See video below of some of the storm's damage.
Late Monday, an explosion at a substation at 14th Street and FDR Drive in New York City contributed to power outages in the area. No one was injured, and it was not clear whether the explosion was caused by flooding or by flying debris.
The facade of a four-story building in Manhattan's Chelsea neighborhood crumbled and collapsed, leaving the lights, couches, cabinets and desks inside visible from the street. No one was hurt.
A construction crane atop a luxury high-rise collapsed in the high winds and dangled precariously 74 floors above the street. Forecasters said the wind at the top the building may have been close to 95 mph.
A huge fire destroyed at least 50 flooded homes in the Breezy Point section of New York City's Queens Borough. An FDNY spokesman says nearly 200 firefighters were on the scene.
A large tanker ship teeters Wednesday off the coast of Staten Island following the onslaught of Superstorm Sandy.

Re/Max Gains 20% after IPO
- Order Reprints
- Print Article
Shares of Re/Max Holdings (RMAX) have surged out of the gate as investors scoop up shares following the real-estate brokers IPO.
Shares of Re/Max priced at $22, above the range of $19-$21 it had been seeking. The Associated Presshas the details:
Re/Max Holdings Inc. has raised $220 million in an initial public offering of its common stock.
Re/Max is giving the underwriters a 30-day option to buy up to an additional 1.5 million shares to cover any excess demand.
The company anticipates about $194.2 million in net proceeds, after underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses. Re/Max plans to use the proceeds to reacquire regional Re/Max franchise rights in some markets, redeem preferred membership interests and buy back ownership stakes from existing shareholders.
Re/Max shares have jumped 21% to $26.67 at 10:32 a.m. Investors might want to reconsider jumping in, however. Here's what I wrote about IPOs back in 2011 and it still stands today.
The IPO game is notoriously dicey for retail investors. That's because most of the shares sold at the low offering price go to institutions; only about 20% go to individuals, according to Jay Ritter, a finance professor at the University of Florida.
That means most people must settle for buying new shares during their first few days of trading—from the bigger investors who are selling. This scenario proved disastrous for investors who bought hot Internet companies near the end of the dot-com boom, just before they crashed.
Most IPOs, in fact, fail to pan out for small investors. Excluding the first day of trading, the average IPO underperforms similarly sized companies by 3.4 percentage points a year during its first five years of trading, according to Prof. Ritter's data.
The IPO has a mixed impact on other real-estate related companies. Realogy (RLGY) has fallen 0.2% to $43.62, while Vector Group (VGR), which has both tobacco and real-estate brokerage businesses, has dropped 0.5% to $15.99. Zillow (Z) has jumped 4.1% to $90.44.

Los Angeles Chargers
2016 Record: 5-11
The last season of the Chargers in San Diego ended almost before it began with injuries to Keenan Allen and Danny Woodhead early. As a result, Mike McCoy finally got the ax after a surprise retention the season before. Into his place comes the fast rising Anthony Lynn to breathe new life into this team as it arrives in LA. With a veteran QB in Rivers and the return of Offensive Coordinator Ken Whisenhunt, the offense hopes to fix the errors of last season by adding more talent. Meanwhile, the arrival of Gus Bradley from Jacksonville brings a conversion to an attacking 4-3 defense. Despite playing in a tiny soccer stadium in 2017, the Bolts hope to kick the injury-riddled seasons of the McCoy era and potential contend for a playoff spot in a tough but vulnerable AFC West.
Key Additions:
LT Russell Okung, S Tre Boston, RB Kenjon Barner
Key Losses:
RB Danny Woodhead, LT King Dunlap, G DJ Fluker, ILB Manti Te'o, CB Brandon Flowers
2017 Draft Class:
WR Mike Williams, G Forrest Lamp, G Dan Feeney, S Rayshawn Jenkins, DB Desmond King
Offensive Outlook:
System: Single back (3 WR, 1TE or 2 WR, 2 TE) vertical offense
By retaining OC Whisenhunt, the Chargers hope to be able to continue their Top 10 scoring offense under veteran QB Phillip Rivers. In addition the Chargers are attempting to bolster the run game with investments in the offensive line. Whisenhunt uses multiple looks and employs some no-huddle to keep the defense off balance and looks to get the ball down the field in an aggressive manor.
That aggressive nature resulted in a career high 21 INTs last year for Rivers without #1 WR Keenan Allen out all year. Into that void came 2nd year WR Tyrell WIlliams who led the team in yards and receptions with 69-1059 and 7 TDs. Other wideouts Dontrelle Inman and Travis Benjamin were very inconsistent last year. With the return of Allen and the addition of 1st round pick Mike Williams (assuming his back is healthy), the Chargers should be able to create nice match-up issues with 3 starters over 6'2" tall. Add to that future HOFer TE Antonio Gates, who is 1 TD away from breaking the all-time TD mark for tight ends, and 2nd year heir apparent Hunter Henry and the Chargers should improve upon an already dynamic passing game.
In the run game, 3rd year RB Melvin Gordon emerged from a knee injury to rush for just under 1,000 yards behind a disappointing O-line. RB Brandon Oliver proved a serviceable backup to Gordon and Barner or Andre Williams should take over 3rd down duties for the departed Woodhead. On the line, gone are free agent and draft busts Dunlap, Fluker and Orlando Franklin and in their place comes veteran Russell Okung and rookies Forrest Lamp and Dan Feeney. Okung should slide immediately into the LT spot after just an average season last year in Denver while Joseph Barksdale remains at RT. The middle of the line will be a good competition between rookies Lamp and Feeney against veterans G/C Matt Slauson, C Spencer Pulley and others. Also Jeff Cumberland is a solid run-blocking TE.
Defensive Outlook:
System: Attacking 4-3 front with cover 2 tendencies
With former Jaguars HC Gus Bradley joining the staff as the defensive coordinator, the Chargers will convert to a 4-3 defense that utilizes a Leo LB (pass rushing strong side LB) to generate extra pressure on the QB. For the defensive line the transition should be seamless, with DROY Joey Bosa and pass rusher Melvin Ingram bookending at DE. Only concern may center on Ingram's injury history in holding up as a down linemen. Inside DT Corey Liuget should take well to the 3 technique and Brandon Mebane was a rock as a 1 technique in Seattle. Depth is an issue, especially on the outside, and could be this defense's undoing.
At the linebacker spot, Denzel Perryman will slide into the MLB spot and rookie sensation Jatavis Brown will be featured as a playmaker on the weakside. This move to the 4-3 should help feature both players, protecting Perryman in pass coverage and keeping Brown clean to flow to the ball. At the Leo spot, Kyle Emmanuel will get the first shot to feature his pass rush skill with Josh Perry and maybe even Jerry Attaochu providing depth. Korey Toomer will be a priority backup.
The secondary has question marks, with starters CB Casey Hayward, CB Jason Verrett, SS Jahleel Addae and FS Dwight Lowery returning from last year. Injury concerns on Verrett and Addae may test a weak depth chart. Tre Boston was signed to backup Addae and rookie Rayshawn Jenkins will challenge Lowery at FS. The nickel corner will be determined in camp, with many candidates including hybrid 5th round rookie Desmond King from Iowa.
Keys to 2017:
- Phillip Rivers must rebound from a frustrating 2016 season while continuing to battle Father Time (Age 35).
- First time head coach Anthony Lynn is learning on the job but has good assistants around him and a roster that should be better than their record over the last 2 years.
- Injuries, injuries, injuries have derailed this team. Maybe the soccer field will help.
- Moving to LA and playing in the 30,000 seat StubHub Stadium could really be a distraction
- 3rd hardest Strength of Schedule in the NFL this year
2017 Prediction: 6-10
The Chargers face an up-hill challenge with a new home, new head coach and a new defense, Add to that a very tough division of defenses in KC, Oakland and Denver. If the OL gels and the injury bug doesn't follow them from San Diego the Chargers should be better in 2017.
Fantasy Outlook:
QB - Rivers looks to be a 2nd-tier starter or excellent backup that is likely undervalued in most leagues. Though he should get close to matching his numbers from 2016, he also will hopefully reduce the INTs
RB - Gordon is no better than a 2nd/3rd RB in most leagues until his OL proves it can block for him.
WR - Keenan Allen is back but probably not worthy of a #1 WR in fantasy. Tyreek Williams is a quality 2nd/3rd WR.
TE - Gates is good for TDs only anymore and Henry will likely continue to under perform projections as long as he is the understudy to Gates.
DEF/ST - The Chargers should be good for a lot of sacks though they might also give up a lot of points again in 2017. Isiah Burse emerged as a quality KR/PR but failed to score in 2016. Pick them up based on matchups

If you build it... Engineers want people to come
It's National Engineering Week, and to cap off their week-long celebration, Engineering School is getting out all their toys and inviting the community– especially middle and high school kids– to come over and play Saturday, February 22.
Who knew, for example, that Jell-O could be the stuff of science? Chemical engineers will be using that brightly colored tasty treat to demonstrate how protein diffusion in gels is used by the pharmaceutical industry to make medicine.
Materials science folks will be bouncing rubber balls and heating them to demonstrate how polymers behave differently at different temperatures. And mechanical and aerospace engineers will be showing off a solar-powered car, their Legends racer, as well as a solar-powered airship.
These are just a few of the experiments, demonstrations, and hands-on activities designed to show how much fun engineering can be and maybe tempt some prospective students into a career in the field.
"The idea is to inform the public about what engineering is and how it looks at UVA," says spokesperson Sean Agnew. "We're especially targeting high school students who have applied to the school this year."
High schoolers and their parents can meet undergrads, graduate students, and members of the engineering faculty and tour the various departments.
As a special treat, Dr. Kathryn Thornton, UVA professor and former astronaut on the Space Shuttle Columbia, will give a talk entitled "Sights and Sounds of Space Flight" at 1pm in the Mechanical Engineering building. Sports fans won't want to miss RoboCup Soccer from noon-3pm.
Other engineering entertainment includes virtual reality from the computer scientists, an artificial heart pump from the mechanical engineers, the ERICA Project, that lets you talk to a computer with your eyes, and Wahoo Wizards, who will be demonstrating their amazing feats in the chemistry building.
The University of Virginia Engineering Open House takes place Saturday, February 22, from 9am-3pm. A schedule of events and map can be picked up at the registration desk in Thornton Hall when you arrive. Participants can save time by registering on-line ahead of time at www.seas.virginia.edu/openhouse.

Systems Seminar - CSE
Privacy-Preserving Ridge Regression on Hundreds of Millions of Records
Add to Google Calendar
Numerous data mining tasks, used inside cloud services such as recommendation systems, often employ linear or ridge regression as an underlying computational element. In this talk we present a system in which ridge regression (that includes linear regression) is carried out in a privacy preserving way because the user data stays encrypted all the time. Ridge regression is an algorithm that takes as input a large number of data points and finds the best-fit linear curve through them. Our system outputs the best-fit curve in the clear, but exposes no other information. We propose a hybrid approach that combines Homomorphic encryption with Yao garbled circuits. Our system scales nicely because we remove the dependency on the number of users from any computations involving non-linear operations. We implement the complete system and experiment with it on real data-sets, and show that our hybrid approach performs significantly better than either method alone. We demonstrate that we can run regression on millions of users' data within a few minutes, outperforming the state of the art by 2 orders of magnitude. Showing that core data mining building blocks can indeed be executed quickly on encrypted data, even when there are millions of users in the system, is an important step in bring privacy to data mining driven cloud services.

the past couple days
I feel like I've been a neglectful blogger and I'm sorry. The last few days we've been spending together since Jeremiah has had vacation time he needed to use up. I wish I could say we've done something exciting but we haven't, mostly sleeping in, having breakfast late and running errands. Fun, right? Well actually we love being together so it's fun for us.
I forgot to mention this lamp from a few weeks ago, found it while thrifting for $2. It's so perfect for the living room where we needed just a little bit more light in the corner without having a full size table lamp.
Israel has needed a bath every morning for the last week, he wakes up drenched in pee, poor baby! Is this a boy thing or something to do with 18 mos? It seems even with night-time diapers, we can't prevent leaks on a daily basis. He loves baths so much and it's a great way to start the morning so I don't really mind.
The other night Jeremiah and I went out for a Monte Cristo, a very rare indulgence since we feel terrible immediately after, but boy are they good!
And of course, I've been maintaining the shop. It's a lot of work and I don't always have the time I'd like to invest into it but I'm always happy to see people responding so well to it and leaving positive feedback. I always want to hear that customers are happy when they receive their handmade jewelry, what more could you hope for?

Hi, my son wets himself sometimes at night too. I usually put him in a nappy a 'size up' and that usually works.ReplyDelete
my daughter was a huge night time wetter! i used cloth diapers, so it was especially hard to control the leaks. the wool covers are a great option! even if you dont use cloth, you could use any type of a cloth diaper cover to solve your problem. my favorite resource is greenmountaindiapers.com....hope that helpsReplyDelete
i think it's a boy thing, my little one is also 18 month, and we have often the same story like you...ReplyDelete
Ahhh, I remember the good ole days of night wetting. My son has always slept deeper than my girl, so he would wake up wet and not even notice. Is it weird that I miss those baby things now that mine are 4 and 6?ReplyDelete
I received my earrings and ring yesterday and had been meaning to let you know how amazing they are! When I first opened the ring, my little Harper got so excited and said, "sooooo pretty mommy!!!" So you already have a 4 year old fan. Congrats!
Thank you again...glad to hear life is plugging along nicely.
so glad to hear that you guys got to spend lots of time together the last few days. and oscar's the same way -- he wakes up wet most of the time and so far i haven't found anything that'll keep him dry every night!ReplyDelete
Our son went throughout the same thing. We also had a period of him waking at 11 every night for a while to go. It will pass! Promise!ReplyDelete
life looks like fun!ReplyDelete
I love your furnishing and the new lamp fits in just perfectly!ReplyDelete

i love seeing shots of your uber modern house. :)ReplyDelete
your jewelry is looking good!!ReplyDelete
it's always nice to have some family time where not much is done except enjoy the company.
have you ever thought of putting Israel in the shower with you? it saves so much time, my girl loves it, she is becoming a shower hog, in fact i can't remember the last time she had a bath?
Thank you for your comments, I love hearing from you!

Indiana does not have any one single, comprehensive business license. However, all businesses operating in Indiana are subject to regulatory requirements that may involve several state agencies. Businesses that are starting, expanding, hiring employees for the first time, changing ownership or organizational structure, or moving into Indiana will need to consider the areas listed in this section.
In addition to the general requirements, certain types of businesses will be subject to specific licensing or permitting requirements. Although the most common permits and licenses are mentioned in this document, it is always advisable to contact the State Information Center at 317-233-0800, 800-45-STATE to discuss the most current requirements for any individual business.
The first decision you must make is what type of business organizational structure will best meet the business owner's goals. The organizational structure of a business entity will determine what must be done to officially "form" the entity, how taxes are paid, and many other details that will affect its day-to-day operation. The types of structure, formal and informal, and their corresponding filing requirements are outlined below.
There are financial and legal advantages and disadvantages to each type of business organization. Anyone
unsure of which structure will be best for any business should attend a "Starting a Business Workshop " offered by one of the assistance providers listed in Section IV. Additionally, paid professional assistance may be needed.
All Filings and Reports for formal business entities should be sent to:
Indiana Secretary of State, Business Service Division
I-A-1-a. CorporationsDomestic Corporations: To form this most complicated type of business organization, Articles of Incorporation must be filed and shares of stock must be issued. Prospective shareholders exchange money, property, or both, for the corporation's capital stock. A corporation can be formed for profit or non-profit purposes. Forming a corporation creates a specific legal entity, and only one corporation can use any specific name.
Corporate names may be reserved for 120 days with the Secretary of State. According to Federal guidelines
2 the profits of a corporation is taxed to the corporation when earned, and then is taxed to the shareholders when distributed as dividends. However, shareholders cannot deduct any loss of the corporation, because losses are deductible only at the corporate level, therefore not from their personal tax filings.
S Corporations: An eligible domestic corporation can avoid double taxation (once to the corporation and again to the shareholders) by electing to be treated as an S corporation. This is a separate legal and taxable entity, and can have no more than 100 owners. Generally, an S Corp is exempt from federal income tax other than tax on certain capital gains and passive income. An additional requirement is a Federal Employer Identification (EIN). Further, according to federal guidelines, in order to obtain S-Corporation status the federal form 2553 is required to be filed with the IRS.
A Corporation doing business in a name other than the name listed on the Articles of Incorporation must file a Certificate of Assumed Business Name with the County Recorder and the Office of the Secretary of State.
All types of corporations, business corporations, professional corporations, C Corporations, and Subchapter S Corporations have essentially the same filing requirements. They may have different tax responsibilities, but they are still corporations. Professional corporations will be required to file a certificate of registration showing that the professional is licensed in Indiana.
By definition, corporations usually have employees, even if those employees own all of the stock. Therefore, forming a corporation will entail that you cover the issues outlined in Section I-C Additional Employer Responsibilities.
Foreign Corporations: If a business is already incorporated in another state and is "doing business" in Indiana as defined by the Indiana Code, then it must obtain a Certificate of Authority from the Secretary of State to do business in Indiana as a foreign corporation.
All Corporations: Beginning January 1, 1997, all domestic and foreign business entities except for nonprofit corporations and limited partnerships are required to file biennial reports. A business entity must file a biennial report two years after the initial corporation filing has been completed, even if no business is being conducted.
The report must be filed with the Secretary of State by the end of the month in which the entity was incorporated, every second year following the year of incorporation. (If incorporated in even year, the Report is filed every even year. If incorporated in odd year, the report is filed every odd year.) The filing fee for these biennial filings is $30.00. Non-profit corporations file annual reports with a $10.00 filing fee.
I-A-1-b. Unincorporated EntitiesLimited Liability Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, and Limited Partnerships are unincorporated entities, but they are still formally organized entities. A brief explanation of each type is listed below.
Limited Liability Partnership: A hybrid form of a general partnership. In general, liabilities are limited. Limited Partnership: A form of partnership in which liabilities are limited to general partners, while limited partners' liability is limited to their agreed investment in the business.
Limited Liability Company: A limited liability company (LLC) is an entity formed under state law by filing articles of organization as n LLC. None of the member of an LLC are personally liable for its debts. AN LLC may be classified for federal income tax purposes as a partnership, a corporation, or an entity disregarded as an entity separate from its owner by applying the rules in federal regulations section 301.7701.3. A Limited Liability Company must file (State Form 49459) from the Secretary of States Office to establish articles of organization. There are no specific forms to be filed to create the other entities listed, but certain information is required by law to be filed with the Secretary of State's Office. Forms for these entities are commonly created by attorneys. Limited Liability Partnerships and Limited Liability Companies are required to file biennial reports as described for corporations, but Limited Partnerships have no yearly filing requirements.
Limited Liability Partnerships, Limited Liability Companies, and Limited Partnerships which are based outside of Indiana will need to file a Certificate of authority to do business in Indiana, similar to what foreign corporations file. (There is no established state form for this.) Likewise, is these entities are doing business in a name other than the one filed with the Secretary of State's Office, they will need to file a Certificate of Assumed Business Name with the Secretary of State and the County Recorder as well
I-A-2-a. Sole ProprietorshipThis type of business entity has a single owner, with no exemptions he/she is liable for all debts incurred. The owner and the business is one single entity. The owner is personally liable for anything that happens with the business. Income and expenses of the business on their personal tax return. It is the simplest form of business organization to start and maintain. Its liabilities are the owner's personal liabilities.
Federal and State income taxes are reported on the proprietor's (owner's) individual income tax return as selfemployment taxes. The profits of the business are taxed to the owner on his/her 1040 Schedule (federal) annually, and the income is taxed only once.
I-A-2-b. General PartnershipPartnerships have two or more owners who both contribute money, labor and skills. The partners are jointly and severally liable for debts and share proportionately in profits. Income and expenses of the business are filed on the partnership return (Form IT-65), and income taxes are reported on individual tax returns. In general, partnerships function like sole proprietorships with more than one owner.
A partnership must file and annual information return to report the income deductions, gains, loses, etc., from its operations, but it does not pay income tax. Instead, it passes through any profits or losses to its partners. Each partner includes his/her share of the partnership's items on his/her federal tax return.

Today we would like to demonstrate typical behavior of marines when they are off duty. They get drunk and hurt each other, usually the weaker ones. Some may make the excuse that this "builds character", or that it "makes you stronger". That is bullshit.
What this does is piss someone off and make them resent you. Do you think the ones getting picked on will be just as likely to take a bullet for their bullies than their friends? This is not teamwork. This is not a team. This is a mess.
All that behavior like this does is reinforce the popular notion that "Enlisted marines are supposed to be scoundrels. That's why you get a medal if you stay out of trouble for 3 years" (as my former LT once told me). Frankly, if the marine corps wants to be known as a safe haven for children who can't control their adolescent impulses, who lack any semblance of self-control, self-restraint, or self-discipline, and who joined because they couldn't make it anywhere else, then the marine corps is doing just fine. But if the marine corps wants to be known as an elite and highly professional fighting force, then it has a long way to go. – S_The_Mod and NINJA_PUNCH

Fairway and AWI Help an Austin, Texas VeteranMay 15, 2019 12:00 am
A Fairway Independent Mortgage Corporation branch in Austin, Texas partnered with the American Warrior Initiative (AWI) to honor a local U.S. veteran with a grant. Along with making a donation, the branch held a residential housing "boot camp" to train real estate professionals and mortgage planners on how to best handle the home-purchase needs of active duty military members and veterans.
The honoree at the Austin event was local U.S. Navy veteran Bobby Withrow, who is the caretaker of the "Remembering the Fallen" Texas division. Bobby drives thousands of miles around Texas transporting a 200-foot memorial containing the pictures and names of 600+ Texas natives killed in combat since the start of the U.S. War on Terror in 2001. Fairway and AWI honored Bobby with a $10,000 grant that he will use to help with his transportation expenses as he travels to honor fallen heroes.
Co-founded by Louise Thaxton and Sean Parnell, the American Warrior Initiative is a non-profit organization sponsored by Fairway Independent Mortgage. AWI seeks to ease U.S. veterans' transition from military to civilian life.
I am proud to work for a company that does so much to honor those who sacrifice for our country. If I can help answer any questions about VA loans or any other home loan options, please give me a call.Veterans

- Independent Study (For Molecular Biosciences Ph.D. Students)
Research Interests
Research in Dr. Zhou's group is at the interface of cell biology and cancer-focused biomedical science. Our long-term research interests are to understand how the cell signaling system controls the actin cytoskeleton, cell motility, and cancer invasiveness. Specifically, we study two proteins: the versatile actin-regulatory protein CAP1 and the central signaling kinase Akt. We employ a wide range of techniques and approaches that encompass the fields of cell biology, molecular biology, biochemistry and cancer biology, in combination with mammalian cell systems and mouse models for our studies.
Current Research Projects:
- Mechanisms of the Phosphor-regulation of CAP1. Our laboratory has recently identified the very first regulatory mechanism for CAP1, through phosphorylation at Ser307/Ser309. We are investigating further molecular and biochemical mechanisms underlying the phosphor-regulation of CAP1 in promoting actin dynamics. Moreover, we are dissecting signaling pathways that control the actin cytoskeleton through the reversible phosphorylation of CAP1 at the tandem site. De-regulated CAP1 has been implicated in the invasiveness of human cancers, and we are also investigating potential roles of the CAP1 regulation in human cancers.
- Isoform-specific Roles for Akt1 and Akt2 in Pancreatic Cancer. Our earlier work identified a mechanism for Akt to stimulate cell motility by linking to the Rac/PAK signaling. Our follow-up study was also among the first to unravel isoform-specific roles for Akt in cell motility and cancer invasiveness. These studies carry important translational potential because inhibitors for the frequently hyper-activated PI3-kinase/Akt signaling have been widely pursued for targeted cancer therapeutics. Studies so far have revealed cancer-type dependent roles for Akt isoforms; however, little is known about roles for Akt isoforms in pancreatic cancer, for which targeting Akt has been proposed and attempted.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. – The San Jose Earthquakes agreed to terms with their first-ever Designated Player on Monday, former FC Barcelona and Hull City midfielder Geovanni.
The Brazilian attacking midfielder arrived in San Jose on Sunday evening to meet with team officials. After passing a physical Monday morning, he met again with Quakes general manager John Doyle to finalize the details of his contract. Per team policy, the terms were not disclosed.
COMMENT: Why Geovanni may put Quakes over the hump
Geovanni played with Hull City of the English Premier League for the last two seasons, but was released from his contract due to the Tigers' relegation. He previously played one season for Manchester City (2007-08), four for Portuguese club Benfica (2003-2006) and two for FC Barcelona (2001-03).
During his time at Hull, Geovanni scored 13 times in 65 appearances, including the Tigers' first-ever goal in the Premiership in 2008 against Fulham. During the 2008-09 season, Geovanni led the club with eight goals. He was also teammates last season with US striker Jozy Altidore, who spent the campaign on loan at Hull.
Although Geovanni played just one season for Manchester City, he provided the Blues with a memorable moment after scoring the lone goal to upend rival Manchester United on August 19, 2007.
A natural attacking mid, the 30-year-old Geovanni also has experience as a winger and up front.

Patrick making run for Lt. Gov
AUSTIN — Conservative firebrand and Houston Republican state Sen. Dan Patrick ended months of speculation Thursday and jumped into the 2014 race for lieutenant governor, using the opportunity to blast the current officeholder for failing to pass controversial abortion bills.
Patrick, one of the most outspoken members of the Senate, joins an already crowded field trying to unseat Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst. Along with the tea party favorite and radio talk show host, Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson and Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples are challenging Dewhurst in the GOP primary next year.
"The people of Texas sense it is a time for change," said Patrick, labeling himself an "authentic conservative."
At his announcement in Austin, Patrick vowed to refrain from launching an "attack campaign."
Moments later he opened fire on Dewhurst for the recent Senate meltdown that resulted in a package of controversial anti-abortion bills failing while the nation watched online.
"It was pretty obvious to the world who was watching ... that what happened Tuesday night was a lack of leadership," Patrick said.
"The Senate floor was out of control. The gallery was out of control. There seemed not to be a plan," he said. "This is what happens when you don't have leadership."
During the 2011 session, Patrick and Dewhurst butted heads over a bill the Houston Republican was pushing to prevent excessive pat-downs by the Transportation Security Administration. The two later appeared to make amends when Patrick threw his support behind Dewhurst's failed U.S. Senate bid. Dewhurst, a millionaire businessman, lost the GOP primary to lesser-known Ted Cruz.
The circus in the Senate this week could be a flash point for Dewhurst's challengers.
The morning the anti-abortion bills failed, Patterson sent a message to supporters saying the collapse was the direct result of Dewhurst losing control of the chamber, and he urged a changing of the guard.
"Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst must go," Patterson wrote. "I strongly believe he has lost his grip on the reins of the Senate and his horse has run wild."
In his role as lieutenant governor, the state's second-highest elective office, Dewhurst is Senate president and responsible for calling the shots on the floor.
Patrick is coming off a session in which he chaired the Senate Higher Education Committee and passed a measure to revamp the state's charter schools.
His two-year Senate term is set to expire in 2014; so a loss in the GOP primary for lieutenant governor would put him out of office.

The Pickwick family certainly has their share of characters, no one will deny that. A wealthy clan with a large estate in the mountains of North Carolina, they have a reputation stretching back generations for swindling and conniving their way to the top. But Uncle "Obe" Obediah, the current head of the family, has experienced a brush with his own mortality and decided that it's time to make amends. This includes revising his will significantly to include estranged relatives and wronged parties, and then selling off the grand family estate. This puts the younger generations of Pickwicks in a pickle, since along with reducing their inheritance, Uncle Obe may reveal some of their best-kept secrets, putting them in uncomfortable positions. There's Piper, who moved all the way across the country to Los Angeles and changed her name to escape her family; there's beautiful Maggie, who struggles with choices she made in high school that left her a single parent, and last but not least, feisty but grief-stricken Bridget, who turned her back on God and the world when she was widowed at 33.
But maybe Uncle Obe, with his insistence on putting the past to rights for all the Pickwicks, will unintentionally allow each of these young women a way to find a future brighter than she thinks possible.

... or, mountain bikes don't handle like road bikes do!
I decided to take my Sorrento the the Monday night ride. On my way, I did something stupid and ended up throwing myself over the bars and once again, straight into the pavement with an absolutely bee-aay-oootiful slow-mo endo. After it was obvious I was going down, I took my hands off the bars to brace myself a bit, but tucked my elbows. I found myself sliding a bit on my chest and hands, then the bike came up around behind me, rolling me onto my face a bit.
I wasn't on a major road, and I was goofing off and riding way too aggressively. Mountain bikes just aren't made to carve and brake the way a road bike does while riding fast. Fortunately, all I have to show for it is some road rash on my chin and a scrape on my upper lip. There are some scrapes on the skid-lid, too, but nothing bad.
Anyhow, I'm okay, but I feel like my chin got shaved a little too close! I turned around and came back home after crashing. I could have gone to the ride, but I wanted to properly cleanse and dress my scrapes.
Before I left work to come home, before this whole mess happened, the wind was 22MPH gusting to 30 out of the southwest when I checked the weather. I ended up taking the A bus to get closer to home, and I'm glad. I really didn't feel like sparring with headwinds of that stature.

Oh man! I'm glad you're relatively OK. I have endoed many times, but on singletrack, where I don't think it's as bad. Trails are softer than pavement. I sure do know that slow-motion feeling, though, there's nothing quite like it!
Frogman's comment just cracked me up. Then I felt guilty laughing at your expense.

Naval LCA: US puts Lockheed Martin off Tejas flight path
23 comments:
Dear Ajai,
Although I respect your views and generally find them unbiased, in this particular case, the tone suggests an imaginary shift in US policy – i.e. the US government hindering LM's assistance to ADA with some strategic ulterior motive. In my opinion, it would have been more apt to describe it as a bureaucratic hindrance, as both US and India (in their self-interests) would have to eventually and incrementally work together, for foreseeable reasons.

India must learn to keep a safe distance from the U.S. It's U.S sanctions that hurt the same LCA program. The U.S will not change their stance towards India for the near future. The mistrust towards India will always be there for another 10-15 years. The Ostrich U.S head is still struck deep in the sand. I don't think that they will change the policy of supporting terrorists and dictators to supporting realistic pluralistic democracies like India.
- 28 September 2009 at 10:48
@ Anonymous: Mr Obama is trying to micro manage too many things.
Although I agree that Mr. Obama is not as inclined towards India as he ought to be, it wouldn't be fair to say that he is out to get us. In my view, he is too idealistic and not shrewd enough to checkmate American rivals. Please don't get me wrong, I am not suggesting "checkmating" as the best way forward, but unfortunately all politics today is Machiavellian in nature.
@ Anonymous: India must learn to keep a safe distance from the U.S…
Again, I agree that we need to be independent and pursue our national interests, but my kindness in judgment towards the US comes from a simple strategy: our "potential" enemy's "potential" enemy might make a good "potential" friend… (Note: I am only referring to potentials, because if the current US administration had its way, the world would morph into heaven and we would all live happily ever after). Unfortunately, I am an optimistic realist; so I find it wise to hedge against threats.
On a separate note, in response to your point about American support for "immoral infidels": just like the US, India also chooses to support / arm terrorists / dictators wherever and whenever it benefits us, because if we don't, somebody else will; the trouble is, our scope of influence is currently limited…

There isn't much in this report that we had to bother about. After all we have been seeing many technology denials from unkil off late.
We can very well approach Russian or french friends who also has enough experience in manufacturing carrier based aircrafts.
Also me thinks that the argument of Russians and french lacking experience in single engine carrier based aircraft is not apt. Even for americans, F-35 is the first single engine naval platform isn't it? When they can make it, others can very well make it.
- 28 September 2009 at 23:36
Quick question - because considering the history between the US and India in the past few years and the willingness of the US to help India- has lead me to another speculation.
Why has Boeing not been approached for assistance in this project? Considering they have extensive knowledge in fielding air-crafts of carriers??
So that lead me to speculate if it was Boeing who has thrown a wrench into LM's plans? They have lobbyists and senators who owe favors etc..
Just a thought-

Ajai ji,
You should not allow any vulgar language in your blog. The Anonym@20:51 is too much.
Mr Anonym@20:51, India is a free country and one can express his or her own opinion. You can criticize other comments. But the way you used your words, show how low you are. Let Mr. Vincent expresses his views. If you do not like him, just ignore.
- 29 September 2009 at 21:33
LCA is facing major technical issues. thats why there is no news on it..HAL/ADA is keeping their mouth closed and folks like Ajai are asked to keep quite on that.
Otherwise the last update on LCA was loong back. why No news after weapon integration test.
hope Ajai knows what is happening in LCA hanger.... but keeps quite as he is not willing to tell any thing..
I am one of the billion hearts waiting to hear on LCA.. but what to do our Folks are more worried about China now

Col Shukla,
I am posting after along time on you blog(Fist since you have come back from hibernation). The point here is US will eventually relent on few things (Tech/ Knowledge transfer) as it looks to maintain it's hegemony and also limit the drain on it's resources. India, being the status quo power is the perfect partner- Young fighting capable manpower as well as the perpetual hostile environment India faces makes it jump to the Unkil for solution.
Naval LCA help should come as far as i think it could have been withheld due to..
1. Some old Cold war warriors in Pentagon
2. Some economic mandarins calculating long term loss of possible business.
3. May be pressure from the Terrorist state of Pakistan lovers.
In the end it should come.

The European Union has squeezed a settlement out of CRT glass manufacturers it accused of operating a cartel back in the days when people used glass screens.
Three vendors will cough up a total of €128m (£111m) to settle the investigation. Nippon Electric will pay €43.2m, Schott AG will pay €40.1m and Asahi Glass will pay €45.1m
A fourth vendor, Samsung Corning Precision Materials, will pay nothing, after it was granted "full immunity for being the first to give information about the cartel".
The Commission said the four were in cahoots between 1999 and December 2004, and "coordinated the prices for CRT glass in the European Economic Area". The EC began investigating allegations of cartel behaviour back in 2008 – by which time you'd have been hard-pressed to find a CRT-based monitor or TV screen anywhere on the UK's high streets.
The EC said: "The cartel was operated on the basis of bilateral or trilateral meetings, organised at the request of the members. The cartel members supplemented their price coordination activities with the exchange, on an ad hoc basis, of confidential and sensitive market information."
The settlement was achieved using the Commission's "fast track" procedure to wind up cartel investigations. "This is good for consumers and for taxpayers as it reduces costs; good for antitrust enforcement as it frees up resources to tackle other suspected cases; and good for the companies themselves that benefit from quicker decisions and a 10 per cent reduction in fines," said the EC.
But is there any payback for anyone who bought a monitor or TV between 1999 and 2004? Kind of. The EC statement on the deal says anyone affected by the anti-competitive behaviour "may bring the matter before the courts of the Member States and seek damages". So ... good luck with that.
The deal is another victory in the commission's fast-moving efforts to stop collusion on pricing on key technologies. It cracked a cartel of videotape makers just four years ago. ®

Akron, Ohio – September 30, 2010 – Ms. Angie Patrick was presented the Performance Health / Massage Therapy Foundation 2010 Humanitarian Award at this year's American Massage Therapy Association (AMTA) convention held in Minneapolis, MN.
Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation, manufacturer and marketer of Biofreeze®, Prossage® and Thera-Band® health and wellness products, sponsors the award which recognizes individuals selected by the Massage Therapy Foundation for their efforts in improving the welfare of their clients and demonstrating selfless devotion to others.
Ms. Patrick is the Director of Massage Business Development and Corporate Sales for The Massage Warehouse, a division of Scrip Companies and serves on the corporate workgroup for the Massage Therapy Foundation. Ms. Patrick has worked in the massage profession for over 10 years, is a Reiki practitioner and a certified reflexologist.
Through personal tragedy and triumph, Ms. Patrick has become one of the massage industry's most inspirational advocates. Because the benefits of massage and the power to touch have profoundly shaped her life, she works tirelessly on the crusade to make massage therapy even more mainstream become a reality.
Achieving this reality is one of the driving forces behind The Massage Warehouse Sanctuary, an ongoing fundraising event conceived by Ms. Patrick. The Sanctuary, which raises money for critical research, has raised over $50,000. Ms. Patrick is also committed to raising research awareness and funding through corporate and private fund-raising efforts.
In accepting this award, Ms. Patrick said, "As many of you know, massage has touched every aspect of my life, from the medical care for my daughter, to the roof over my head, the food on our table, to the job I love so much. Because of the passion I feel and the importance that massage holds for me, I am committed to doing everything I can to further research. We need to ensure the future of massage and we are all stewards of that future. I am very fortunate to be recognized for doing what I love and I'm so grateful for your generosity. Thank you very, very much."
Ruth Werner, President of the Massage Therapy Foundation stated, "Choosing this year's Humanitarian Award recipient may have been the easiest decision we'll ever make. Angie's tireless commitment to the massage industry, her generosity with her time and talent, and her support of every massage therapist in the profession make her an example to everyone who aspires to service in this field. Thank you, Angie, for all you do. It is a privilege for the Massage Therapy Foundation to partner with PHI to support you in this way."
"During our selection process for this year's award, I found it energizing and uplifting that so many people associated with massage therapy give so much of their time and of themselves; so many who are true humanitarians," stated Marshall Dahneke, President and CEO of Performance Health / Hygenic Corporation. "I am honored to know Angie, and to represent Performance Health in commending her for so many contributions."
In addition to providing Ms. Patrick with a striking award plaque, Performance Health donated $2,500 to the Massage Therapy Foundation in her name. Click here a view the video of the 2010 Humanitarian Award presentation

It used to be when I traveled to different business meetings across the country, people would ask me about Arizona's politics. While we still have reputation issues to repair, the questions I've been getting recently are more focused on the buzz they're hearing about our growing technology sector.
There's good reason Arizona is getting noticed for its growth. Over the last five years, Arizona has developed one of the most robust technology entrepreneurial ecosystems in the country. The state is home to five of Deloitte's 2013 "Technology Fast 500" firms, specifically First Solar, LifeLock, Telesphere, Inilex and GPS Insight. Other startups that have been home grown in Arizona into industry leaders include Axosoft, GoDaddy, iCrossing, Infusionsoft, Insight Enterprises, LimeLight Networks and WebPT.
We were able to accomplish our strong entrepreneurial spirit in part by drawing the attention of the media and the state's policy makers to the need to diversify our economy away from construction and climate into a knowledge-based economy with higher paying jobs. Our efforts resulted in a tax credit for qualified research and development that is the best in the nation and a successful angel investment tax credit.
A lot of other resources have been invested. Over a dozen business incubators and accelerators call Arizona home, providing resources to support technology entrepreneurs. In addition to graduating a vibrant workforce to fuel quality jobs, Arizona's world-renowned universities and community colleges are also heavily engaged.
Arizona State University (ASU) runs the Edson Student Entrepreneur Initiative and the ASU SkySong Innovation Center was recently awarded one of the best organizations of its kind in the country. University of Arizona (UA) is helping create the technology of tomorrow in its Bridges/UA Bio Park and UA Tech Park that includes a Solar Zone. UA also participates in Startup Tucson – an organization dedicated to growing a vibrant ecosystem of entrepreneurship through educational events. Northern Arizona University fosters business growth through it Center for Entrepreneurship and Technology and benefits from its affiliation with NASA. All of that bodes well for Arizona's innovation economy.
Other efforts are focused solely on exciting people about technology and science. We just celebrated the third annual statewide Arizona SciTech Festival with over 300K people attending more than 500 events this year.
And although we have a long way to go, there's a growing pool of capital. We're home to two of the largest and top rated angel investor networks in the U.S. ─ ATIF and Desert Angels. The Arizona Commence Authority has created the Arizona Innovation Challenge that awards the most money in the country to the most promising entrepreneurs meeting technology challenges. Grayhawk Capital just raised $70 million in funds for early and growth stage technology investments. And Tallwave Capital recently announced it has deployed $500,000 in capital in early-stage ventures.
The 2010 census reports Arizona's population at 6.4 million, with a median age of 35.9 years. The predicted growth rates for Arizona by the federal and state government expect that between 1.5 million and 3 million people will move to Arizona by the year 2020. That type of robust regional population growth combined with an improved U.S. economy translates into high potential for investors.
It's true we enjoy more than 300 days of sunshine each year. But we offer a lot more than golf and spas. Venture capital sitting on the sidelines should put money into promising Arizona high tech firms and startup ventures.
Now is the time to invest in Arizona.

Fast-growing private wealth counseling firm United Capital Financial Advisers of Newport Beach, Calif., announced Wednesday that it has acquired the majority of assets from c5 Wealth Management, a registered investment advisor based outside of Washington in Great Falls, Va.
The deal follows on the heels of United Capital's July 1 announcement that it had acquired the majority of assets from Georgia-based PPA Advisors. Combined, the two acquisitions will give United Capital a broader footprint in the East Coast.
Founders Paul Bennett, PhD, MSF, CFP, and Stanley Corey, CFP, ChFC, CPWA, join as managing directors of c5 Wealth Management, now a division of United Capital Financial Advisers. With approximately $300 million in assets under advisement, the firm brings a diverse client base of wealthy families and individuals, trusts, corporate retirement and pension plans and foundations.
Bennett and Corey said they joined United Capital because they were looking to alleviate administrative burdens that took time away from their clients and the firm's growth.
"By reducing our back-end office needs, we will have more time to connect with clients," Bennett said in a statement. 'Our clients span multiple generations, and with United Capital's resources and support, we know we are going to thrive for years to come and meet the expectations for our diverse client set."
In 2009, Boomer Market Advisor named c5 as its advisor of the year. Bennett has more than 24 years of experience and Corey has more than 33 years in the industry, and the partners founded c5 in 2006 by merging their independent RIAs.
In addition to administrative assistance, c5 will use United Capital's advice process, Honest Conversations, to create consistency in their wealth planning process. The two new managing directors, along with their staff of five, have plans to expand their advisory team in the northern Virginia market.
Matt Brinker, senior vice president of partner development and acquisitions at United Capital, said the firm is looking forward to partnering with c5 and help them enhance their work with multigenerational clients and focus on growing not only client assets, but the firm itself.
"We will be able to support the team on both the administrative and planning side, as well as help them work toward future growth and increased profits," Brinker said in a statement.
As of March 31, United Capital and its affiliates had approximately $17 billion in assets under advisement.

When I get CL_DEVICE_IMAGE_SUPPORT information with clGetDeviceInfo
on Mac OS X 10.6.2 on a ATI Radeon 4870 I get False.
But when I get CL_DEVICE_IMAGE2D_MAX_WIDTH and CL_DEVICE_IMAGE2D_MAX_HEIGHT I obtain 8192 pixels.
What does this mean ?
When I try to run my application which use Image2D the kernel fail to compile (it works as expected on a 8800GT).
Does this mean that Image2D are not supported by ATI 4870 or does this mean that Mac OS X OpenCL ATI driver are not
fully implemented on 10.6.2 ?

Paranormal Activity is gearing up for the release of the third installment of the found-footage horror series — with an origin story set in 1988, when things started to go wrong for the demon-haunted sisters. Now check out the first ever clips from the new film. Thank goodness, it's already a lot scarier than Paranormal Activity 2.
Paramount has sent out VHS tapes to a few horror sites (along with a free VCR, so people could actually watch them). The videos revealed a lot of creepy kid behavior and fast cuts of some sort of parental torture. Perhaps it was because we watched these clips at night, but these do seem quite a bit scarier than the tepid Paranormal Activity 2 — however, that's not terribly hard to do. Could the new PA3 actually be scary? Or is it a long shot, since the existence of both sisters in PA1 and PA2 negates any fear for the fate of these kiddie protagonists? Watch these clips and decide for yourself.
[via Shock Til You Drop]
[via Dread Central]

Paranormal Activity 3 will be in theaters October 21st.

So after having studied HIV for a bit, I found that there is no way HIV can enter the brain through T4 cells, since they cannot pass the Blood Brain Barrier. However, they are able to do so through macrophages. That being said, I am currently studying a protein on microglia called TREM2 and how expression of the receptor results in increased T4 cell proliferation. These Microglia can differentiate into macrophages within the brain, since they are resident macrophages(meaning they NEVER leave the brain). My question is, how in the WORLD can they get a T4 cell response within the brain? The thing is that TREM2 is studied because of it's effects in alzheimer's disease, where you have all these protein aggregates in the brain and because of the microglia, which phagocytose and present these as antigens on their surface, T4 CELLS MUST BIND TO THEM AT THIS POINT TO INITIATE AN IMMUNE RESPONSE! But how the hell is this possible if T4 cells can NEVER infiltrate the brain? Thank you.
P.S my professor already knows how it can(IT CAN), I just need help understanding how.
Sensory circumventricular organs (CVO) are specialized areas of the brain that lack a normal blood-brain barrier, and therefor are in constant contact with signaling molecules circulating in the bloodstream.
Area Postrem is a medulary structure lying at the base of the fourth ventricle. The area postrema's priviged location outside of the blood-brain barrier makes this sensory cirrcumventricular organ a vital player in the control of the authonomic functions by the central nervous system. By virtue of its lack of tight junctions between epithelial cells in this density vascularized structure and the presence of fenestrated capillaries the substance borne in the blood have direct acsses to the neurons to the brain areas.
that response was way too wordy. Im amazed someone actually speaks the way you do. actually, T4 cells can in fact cross teh BBB, they just dont do it often. the BBB mainly keeps out smaller molecules. That pretty much answered my question. Thanks
