Are Exact Match Domains Too Powerful? Is Their Time Limited?Blog Post: October 20, 2010
I have a VPS server with one big main site (500+ articles) and something like 10 exact match domains on some high converting keywords.
I put one great article on those exact match domains and they rank very well (Google top 3). Below the article is a link to one of our optins or salespages.
I know Google doesn't really like the idea of buying a lot of exact match domains.
So my question is: can this tactic hurt my big main site in anyway?
And when I would buy more exact match domains, for example 50 or 100, will that hurt it?

Bulk Domain Search - is there an easy way?
GoDaddy takes the headache out of registering multiple domains with its bulk domain check tool. Enter as many as 500 domains in the box, making sure to list each domain you want on a separate line. Then check the little boxes next to the extensions you'd like to search (.COM, .ME, etc) and hit GO.
GoDaddy returns two lists: Unavailable Domain Names and My Selected Domain Names. Use the Select All option to quickly register all available domains or look through the list and pick those you'd like to register one by one.
Why should I register more than one domain name?
There are lots of reasons to own more than one domain name. Businesses often buy misspellings of their names, for example, to capture those Web searchers who aren't good spellers (or typists). Domainers register hundreds or even thousands of domains with the end goal of selling at least some of them at a profit. For them, the bulk domain search tool is a must.
There are other advantages of registering a variety of domain names:
- Prevent competitors from using a domain name that's similar to yours to trick shoppers into buying from them rather than you
- Advertise individual product lines on separate websites
- Attract more site visitors by directing keyword domainsA keyword domain is made up of words a person might type into their browser when searching for a particular product. If you plan weddings in San Diego, for example, you could register WeddingPlannerSanDiego.com and direct that domain to your main URL. Whenever a shopper types "wedding planner san diego" into their browser, your website will appear in the search listings.you own to your main website
- Increase your chances of getting listed by major search engines
- Target specific groups of shoppers by using domain names that appeal to them
- Give your customers more ways to find you on the Web
- Protect your brand and online identity from squatters who might try to sell you related domains at outrageous prices
Thanks to GoDaddy's bulk domain name search tool, you can check the availability of up to 500 domains at once.
Does GoDaddy offer discounts for multiple domains?
We offer discounts on multiple domains, but discount amount varies depending on the domain and extension.
What if a domain I want is already registered to someone else?
The first thing to do is find out who owns it by looking in the WhoIs database. If the owner hasn't registered the domain privately, you'll find his or her contact information right there. If the owner does have privacy, their personal contact information won't be displayed.
If you like, you may contact the owner directly and ask if he or she is willing to sell the domain name. In cases of private registration, you must contact the owner through the company that provides the registration.
Not confident in your ability to close the deal on your own? Check out GoDaddy's Domain Buy Service, whereby one of our agents acts as an intermediary between you and the seller. Our agent negotiates for the lowest possible price up to a limit you choose.
Can I register a domain that's expired?
Once a domain has expired and the owner has not renewed it during the grace period, the domain may be released. When a domain goes to public auction, you may bid on it and win it that way.
If an expired domain isn't renewed, redeemed, or sold at auction, it goes back to its registry. The registry decides if and when to release it for registration. Once released, that domain can be registered through any registrar, including GoDaddy.
I misspelled my domain name. Now what?
Once you register a domain, it's yours – even if it's spelled wrong. We suggest you register the correct domain right away, if it's available. You may cancel the misspelled domain if you like, but we can't refund any part of the registration fee.
You might consider keeping the misspelled domain and directing it to your main (correctly spelled) domain. If you misspelled your name, others looking for your website might do the same thing. Owning a misspelled domain allows you to capture visitors who would otherwise be lost.

Apache Junction Auto Glass – What Should I know?
Simply put, this is glass that you would find in an automobile. Not too many know that in Apache Junction there are two major forms of auto glass. Each one is used on certain windows in the automobile. Both types of auto glass are more impact resistant and stronger than regular glass.
What Are the Different Kinds Of Windshield Replacement Apache Junction Services that are Available?
Laminated safety glass-this glass is generally used on a car's windshield. It is comprised of a couple of pieces of glass that has a slim layer of vinyl. The glass is then heated and pressed together in an autoclave, which is a type of oven. When this glass receives a tough impact it will shatter also but usually the shattered pieces will stick to the vinyl and not fall on the ground.
If the windshield just has a tiny vein or nick, the auto glass professional may be able to repair the tiny vein or nick to keep it from spreading further. The repair will generally take fewer than thirty minutes in Apache Junction. The vein or nick is cleaned thoroughly and dried. Resin is injected and a material like Mylar is used to hold it in place. The professional cures the resin by using an ultraviolet light.
Mobile Windshield Replacement - Do you need it?
One of the most intimidating things for a car owner to do is to deal with auto glass or windshield replacement. This is something extremely different from the movies, where people who drive without windows and windshields to be funny and significantly entertaining. In the real world, having a broken windshield will most likely be the reason for car related accidents, which take the lives of many people every day. These accidents have become a global concern, which is why the automobile industry has focused on safety innovation over the years. What most people do not realize, however, is that windshields are safety and precautionary measures by themselves.
They are designed to compress air inside a car in order for the vehicle's restraining systems to be effective. For example, an airbag system needs a strong and properly bonded windshield to work efficiently. If the windshield pops out because of unstable air deployment, the airbag will not be able to provide the protection needed to keep the driver alive in cases of accidents. These shields also account for 20% of a car's overall strength. Perhaps this is the reason why many governments around the world require car manufacturers to have all their models certified and meet a high threshold of strength and durability.
Selecting the best adhesive is the next step. Make sure that the ones bought are being used by manufacturers themselves in order to be assured of its quality. After these things, the new shield can now be installed. It is advised for everyone to be familiar with the procedures that the Auto Glass Replacement Safety standards Council have set, in order to ensure maximum safety. These include allowing the adhesive to set before the car can be driven again. See, cars are important parts of people's lives, and for it to be successful, a windshield replacement process requires patience and must be treated like how a sick family member is to be attended to.
How Does Windshield Repair Work? - Auto Glass Repairs Explained
Automotive window replacement can be done by the novice if he or she takes their time and has some instruction. It doesn't require any special knowledge or expensive tools to replace car glass, but it does take patience! Here we will talk about replacing a fixed car glass that is bonded to the car body instead of being set into a removable frame.
If you are going to replace car glass that is not set in a frame, then you will basically have to "cut" the old glass out of the car. This procedure requires a few inexpensive tools that are often not in a common tool collection. You need a piece of piano wire to use as a saw, and a couple of inexpensive suction cup handles to lift out the old glass (if it is still in one piece) and to place the new glass into position without touching the edges of the glass.
The first step is to remove any molding that goes around the window. Molding can be attached in several different ways. It may be attached with some sort of clips, glued on, or may be just pushed onto a lip on the car body. This is one place where factory service information comes in handy! Some glass is flush-mounted with the exterior surface of the body and does not have any molding to remove. You also may need to remove one or more trim panels inside the car. Before starting to cut out the broken car window, apply tape to the car body all the way around the window to protect the paint. Next, use an awl to create a hole through the adhesive between the glass and the body. Then push a piece of piano wire through the hole, grab a helper to work the other end of the wire, and use a sawing motion to cut the adhesive all the way around the window. Once you have completely sawn all the way around the broken car window, use the suction cup handles to pull the glass out of the car body.
After the new adhesive has been applied and any recommended curing times have been observed, use the suction cup handles to install the new glass into position. Evenly press the glass into the adhesive until it is fully seated all the way around. Do not disturb the vehicle for several hours according to the adhesive instructions, and then be careful not to slam the doors and or drive on any excessively rough roads for several days until the adhesive has had time to fully bond with both surfaces.
That covers the general procedure for auto glass installation. Automotive window replacement can certainly be done by a driver that doesn't have any experience or training in this area, but some jobs are definitely easier than others! If this procedure doesn't sound like something you want to tackle yourself, there certainly isn't any shame in taking your car to an auto glass shop for a replacement, and most shops will even come to your home or workplace to do it for you.

This post is part of the Daily Dispatches project chronicling life in Nairobi, Kenya throughout the month of April.
Nairobi has long struggled to shake off the nickname Nairobbery, but Mike Pflanz discovers during a day with a CID detective that most crime figures are falling.
Behind the frosted glass door of an empty office in one of Nairobi's largest banks, Corporal Patrick Simiyu is quietly meeting a source.
In February, hackers broke through the Cooperative Bank's online security and illegally transferred half-a-million dollars from customers' accounts onto 480 cellphones hooked up to Kenya's mobile money scheme, M-Pesa.
When they began withdrawing the cash, computer alerts sounded.
Since then, Mr. Simiyu, 41, has painstakingly been building his case. Trawling records from the phone company, running surveillance on suspects, and partnering closely with the bank's own investigations team, today he's close to an arrest.
"These kinds of electronic crimes, they are something new, something I've only really started seeing in the last four or five years," he told me earlier, in his dimly-lit office at Nairobi's Criminal Investigations Division headquarters.
"It's not like the old days when someone would walk into a bank with a gun and steal all the money. People are using computers, the thieves have become much more sophisticated, we have to constantly improve our learning to be ahead of them."
Born to a poor family of farmers in a small village four hours drive northwest of Nairobi, Simiyu knew he would one day be a policeman here in the capital.
His father, although not wealthy, was an important man, a village elder called upon to arbitrate disputes over stolen livestock, farm boundaries or cheating middlemen.
"We were not allowed to be in the room for these meetings," said Simuyu, today a quiet-spoken, methodical man with a quick smile. "But he would tell us stories afterward, I would always offer advice.
"To be a policeman, for me it was not just about getting employed in a job, it was because it was something I really wanted to do. And I think the dream of doing this job I do now, it started there, with my father, talking about those disputes."
Twenty years after he first joined up, Simiyu is now a lead detective at the Anti-Fraud and Forensic Investigations department, headquartered in a narrow room decorated in the maroon, navy and cream livery of the Kenya Police.
Neckties, already knotted and ready for court appearances, hung on bent nails. Half-a-dozen metal filing cabinets with busted locks lined the walls. The electricity came and went.
Today, Simiyu's working on four cases. The half-million-dollar mobile money fraud. Another involving checks stolen last year which have just turned up being used to pay for electricity bills. A third where a woman was conned out of a $190,000 deposit she put down to buy land that the seller didn't own.
And – the most high-profile – a huge daylight theft by tricksters disguised as security guards who turned up to a bank masquerading as a team hired to move money, and then calmly walked out with more than $1 million in cash.
Simiyu's meeting at the bank this morning was to discuss preparing witnesses for court. From there, we walked up through the city center to the colonial-era courthouse, to drop files off in the chaotic office of the Registrar of Prosecutions, ahead of court hearings tomorrow.
"For me the most rewarding part of the job is to stand up here in court," he said. "To show the judge the work we have done on a big case, and to secure a conviction."
The most challenging aspect of his work, he went on, a frown creasing his forehead, was "the lack of cooperation from the public and even from the victims themselves".
"They think you can fix their problems overnight," he said. "But it takes long. Even getting the information we need from the public is hard. I think people out there don't think good things about policemen."
He's not wrong. The Kenya Police, as a whole, has an awful reputation. Polls consistently find that the public rates the police as the most corrupt public servants in the country.
Recent high-profile cases of armed officers shooting dead suspected robbers – on one occasion in full view of commuters stuck in a morning traffic jam – have prompted fresh accusations of heavy-handedness (the officers involved are under investigation).
At least one private security firm here plans to form its own "CSI" force for hire after too many prosecutions fail due to a lack of decent evidence collected by police investigators. The courts themselves are swamped, with 900,000 outstanding cases, stretching back as far as 1989.
"There are these issues, but I have to say a lot of it is media exaggeration," said DCIO Peter Mabeya, Simuyu's boss and the head of CID in Nairobi.
"Why all these negative stories? Where is the balance, where is the story about the crime rates falling? Nairobi's not that bad today, it's the same as many other cities."
A look at annual reports of crime figures from the Kenya Police would largely support that statement, with some clear exceptions.
Between 2006 and 2010, homicide rose 3 percent, including a 10 percent jump in murders. Economic crimes, like the ones Simiyu's investigating, shot up 39 percent.
But run your eyes down the spreadsheet comparing the latest crime rates with earlier years, and the percentage drops far outweigh the percentage rises. Violent robbery fell 36 percent nationwide in that four-year period. Home invasions were down 25 percent, rape was down 27 percent and car theft was down 32 percent.
Although it's not easy to verify those figures, anecdotally there are positive reports, too. Two friends who learned I was researching this article told me stories, of which they had firsthand knowledge, of detectives traveling across the country investigating cases. Both led to arrests.
"I'll be honest, I was a bit surprised that these guys were actually doing their jobs," one of my friends told me.
The gap between the perception and the reality of his job worries Simiyu. He's set up a fund, with money from his own pocket, to help poor kids in his village through school. Each year, he runs a football tournament for youngsters, "to help them focus and not be idle", he said.
"Really, I want to try to change the idea that the police are not there to help, but in fact to harass, the public," he said. "Sometimes, there are bad apples in a barrel. It seems a shame to me that we are all tarred with this same brush."

Correction: An earlier version of this story omitted the date of the study ranking California 49th of the 50 states in raod operating condition. The study was released in 2009.
If it seems like you've been taking your car to the repair shop for an alignment with increasing frequency, it doesn't necessarily mean you're a bad driver.
Chances are it's because of California's poorly maintained road system.
U.S. & World
It costs a lot to build roads in the nation's third largest state, geographically speaking, but it costs even more by not keeping them in good condition. That's the irony. While we're keeping our taxes down to minimize expenditures. we're paying more to keep our cars on the roads. A lot more.
A 2009 study by the American Association of State Highways and Transportation Officials found that California roads rank 49th of the 50 states in operating condition. (Thank you, New Jersey, for saving us from last place!)
California's poor roads stem from the unwillingness of policymakers and the public to fund construction and maintenance.
According to the CQ Factbook, California ranks 47th per capita in transportation funding, $308 versus the national average of $536.
All this comes at a cost few of us care to recognize or appreciate. The Road Information Program (TRIP), a nonprofit research organization dedicated to safe highway travel, calculates that poor roads cost the typical California driver $590 annually, nearly twice the national average of $335. In California's major cities, the cost per capita rises to more than $700 per year.
When added up, the cost of poor road conditions to Californians totals $13.5 billion annually.
That's more than twice as much as the funding shortfall cited by the state Department of Transportation. Imagine if the state collected enough taxes to pay for road maintenance, we would all be paying less in the long run. But not too many Californians think that way.
Come to think of it, we pay an awful lot of money for electing not to spend money on California roads. Hmmm, what's that saying? "Penny wise, pound foolish?" Maybe that should be the motto of the "not-so-golden state."

Google is spending around $2 billion on satellites to bring Internet access to remote regions of the world, according to reports.
While some details are murky, unnamed sources said that Google will soon start with 180 small satellites orbiting the earth at a lower altitude, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The whole project is being run by Greg Wyler, founder of satellite startup O3b Networks, and Google is currently hiring engineers from Space Systems/Loral for the project. The project's price is estimated between "$1 billion to more than $3 billion" depending on the network's final details, but most assume that costs will be higher rather than lower.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Google is attempting to give the entirety of the world Internet access, but underneath this humanitarian endeavor is a commercial one. No matter the manner -- be it balloons, drones or satellites -- by giving those without Internet access the Web, Google (as well as Facebook) are giving themselves new customers. (Google is also reportedly buying Titan Aerospace, a startup that makes high-altitude drones, so it can capture and collect remote images.)

Okay, that's it. No more messing around on the Internet today. Instead, I will endure a mild depression as I rework (for the 12455th time) a paper that I wrote over a year ago and am loving less by the minute.
I'm trying to think of school as my job and so far this week, I'm a terrible employee. Yesterday I did nothing school-related. And today, I showed up to work at 8:45 in my pajamas without my hair brushed and then proceeded to write emails and bother my sisters over facebook for 45 minutes. But now I will be a model employee (aside from the continued wardrobe problems) and get to work.

The Life and Times of Creep Toe
A few summers ago, Kyle's toe got stomped by some cleat-wearing guy on an opposing slow pitch team. I think that was the first time Kyle dropped an F-bomb at his Christian slow pitch league.
Anyway, Kyle's toe was hurt pretty bad. It got all puffy and bruised with a sick blood blister. The nail was a real trooper, hanging on for days and days after it blackened. One afternoon, when Kyle wore sandals to take the dog for a walk, Chaz got excited and started jumping around. Somehow, his sharp little nail collided with Creep Toe and the blood blister exploded. Kyle came home looking like something from CSI, with a deflated toe and blood splatter all over him and the dog. Not long after, the nail fell off, the bruises went away, and Creep Toe matured to become a fairly normal looking toe aside from his thick bumpy nail.
Thankfully, we were left with more than just our memories of young Creep Toe. Before the incident with Chaz, Kyle took a whole bunch of pictures of his toe in all it's bruisy glory. As a result of Kyle's quest for the perfect image to capture the nuances of his injury, we have shots of Creep Toe in a variety of locations, angles, and lighting conditions.
Our screen saver is set to scroll through our uploaded photos, which now include about 247 images of Creep Toe. As our computer is visible from the living room, lots of guests have commented on how frequently a photo of Kyle's disgusting toe scrolls by. It's as though Creep Toe is our beloved child and our guests are treated to a slideshow of his greatest moments.
"Oh look! There he is on the bathroom counter. Look at how much he'd grown..."
"And there he is sliding around on the hardwood. How sweet!"
"Ah Creep Toe, just chillin on the front steps with his nail hanging half off."

On Being a Lazy Turd
On my 25 minute walk to school, I walk up University Drive past the football Stadium where lots of students park their cars. Invariably, there are at least ten students waiting there to catch a bus that will spare them the five minute walk to campus. Typically, I walk past them self-righteously, muttering inwardly about how these lazy turds won't walk the 500m from car to class.

Chaz: 3... Jamie and Kyle: 0
This morning when Kyle got out of bed he was greeted with a pile of dog puke in the middle of our area rug. And we were just getting used to the pea-green stain left by the larger pile of dog vomit I found on Wednesday.

Good Friday
Typically Good Friday has just been another long-weekend holiday for me but as I lay in bed this morning, I found myself thinking about how I might mark this day and make meaning of it for myself.
Unfortunately, I'll be spending much of the day writing a paper. But sitting at the computer, I've let my mind wander around the idea of the crucifixion, wondering how Good Friday fits into my faith.
A few years ago, I read about a controversial photograph taken by Andreas Serrano. The photograph is called "Piss Christ" and it depicts a crucifix submerged in a jar of the artist's urine. While many touted this piece as important to freedom of expression, others were offended, hurt, and angered by it.
But I am moved by this image. It cuts to the heart of what Christianity and Good Friday are about - an unsanitized God who joins with humanity in our vulnerability to dirtiness, pain, suffering, and abuse. And a God who responds to the ugly parts of humanness with love, compassion, and grace.
In his poem about the piece, Andrew Hudgins describes Piss Christ as depicting:
"the whole irreducible point of the faith,
God thrown in human waste, submerged and shining."
And so I am taking time today to meditate on Jesus ... submerged and shining.

COVID 19 UPDATE: We are pleased to announce that all 15 PMT Stores across the UK are Covid Secure and are now open. MORE INFO.
Technology drives Korg, from synths to tuners and DJ gear. It's hard to imagine electronic music without the MS-20, Kaoss pads and Electribe. Thousands of keyboardists, songwriters and indie bands would be lost without the MicroKorg, one of the most popular synths of all time. Their M1 and Triton 90's workstations used by a staggering number of musicians, living on in the Triton Taktile MIDI controllers. If you need a more modern workstation instead then you're spoilt for choice by Korg. Using contemporary sound sets, cutting edge synth engines and pro grade controls.
Korg synthesizers build on this analogue legacy, with features that blend hardware and software. The Volca series take the sounds from famous basslines, drum machines and the FM keyboards to give you groovebox inspiration. The Korg Minilogue is a poly synth with a difference, big chords and pads combined with rhythmic step sequence control and effects.
Korg began their legacy in the 1960's when founders Tadashi Osanai and Tsutomu Kataoh thought the at-the-time market rhythm machines were dull and needed innovating to create a better consumer experience. Ever since then Korg have been associated with pushing the boundaries of innovation with cutting edge technology. Refusing to sacrifice sound quality over design and vice versa, Korg have maintained high levels of professionalism in their products allowing them to stay among the top elite names in the music industry.
Over the last few decades Korg has continued to innovate and revolutionise their catalogue of products, offering an assortment of gear such as MIDI equipment, keyboards, synthesizers, amplifiers, pro audio equipment, percussion equipment and loads more musical accessories. As previously mentioned, Korg's most popular instrument in their arsenal was the MicroKORG Synthesizer. Capable of both analogue and multiband vocoding whilst being lightweight, portable and compact, the MicroKORG is a brand favourite having been used by The Prodigy, Crystal Castles, LCD Soundsystem and The Killers. Loaded with buttons, switches and knobs that give you a full range of effects and vocoding, the MicroKORG is an incredibly powerful instrument featuring 128 user-rewriteable programs and a touch sensitive, 37 note keyboard. For such a small device Korg have managed to implement everything and the kitchen sink, making the MicroKORG the best value for money mini synthesizer.
The MicroKORG is just one of many of Korg's great musical instruments. To their credit, they have created a number of industry standard devices such as the M1,MS-20, MS20 Mini, ARP Odyssey, Kronos Krome, KingKorg, Volca and much more. For the more traditional musicans, Korg keyboards include a range of digital pianos and workstations. Here you can reap the benefits of tech with recreations of concert grands and realistic feeling keys. Checking out Korg's Facebook it shows their quote "Be bold and be original", this couldn't be more true for Korg who have established themselves as musical instrument innovators within the industry.
Perhaps you're more interested in Korg accessories rather than their synthesizer range? Korg has created a variety of guitar and bass accessories such as electronic clip-on tuners, pedal tuners, jack insert tuners, piano pedals, stands for your Korg products and much more. Korg don't compromise, even on smaller products like clip-on tuners, they are extremely accurate and crafted with undeniable precision.
Korg has managed to rack up an impressive amount of support for their products and brand. With the likes of superstars such as The Strokes, Enter Shikari, Duran Duran, The Prodigy, Linkin Park, Moby and tonnes more, there's no reason not to pick up a Korg product and give it a test run.
You can shop for Korg online with PMT or come in store to play around with our large selection of Korg products. Come and boot up an Arp Odyssey for tweaking, program entire tunes on our Electribes or tinkle the ivories on a B1 digital piano. PMT Online offer next day delivery if you order before 3pm the day before, giving you the fastest possible time to get your hands on a Korg product. So come down and speak to one of our Korg experts in-store today!

There is a saying in correctional health care: When you have seen one correctional system… you've seen one correctional system. The delivery of health care in jails and prisons varies widely from state to state, with no formal standards universally accepted. The most widely accepted standards of HIV care in correctional facilities are outlined in guidelines provided by the National Commission for Correctional Health Care (NCCHC). These guidelines are more or less in line with the same standards upheld in the community. With regards to the management of HIV, there are significant disparities between jails and prisons, and between local, city, state, and federal systems.
To simplify the issue, I will use a generalized example of how HIV care is managed from intake (when a detainee or inmate is processed into a facility) to discharge.
At intake, the incarcerated individual will undergo a brief medical screening evaluation. This usually includes a medical history, cursory physical examination, assessment of mental health, and documentation of current medications. This is usually the first opportunity an inmate has to disclose their HIV status (if known). Intake facilities vary from site to site, but some lack privacy or a suitable environment where disclosure of sensitive information such as HIV status can be made. Lack of disclosure almost always leads to a delay in the inmate receiving follow-up medical care.
If the inmate declares their status, the provider will ask about current medications including antiretrovirals. Some inmates can name their medications and doses. Others can identify them off medication posters that may be present. Many more cannot name or otherwise identify their medications at all. This may be because they never learned the names or doses, but more often it is because they have been disconnected from regular care for extended periods of time. The provider taking the history may or may not have the time or resources to call a primary provider or pharmacy during intake. Thus, lack of identification of current treatment regimens by the inmate will again lead to a delay in care.
As an example, my facility (Cook County Jail in Chicago) processes approximately 300-350 new detainees every day of the year. Intake of these men and women occurs over a six- to nine-hour period in the late afternoon until about midnight. Each intake provider has only a few minutes of face time with any one detainee before they have to move on to the next one. Compliant and otherwise knowledgeable patients will name their treatment and receive a written prescription for the medications on site. However, the pharmacy cannot dispense the medications until the Department of Corrections (DOC) has assigned the inmate to a location (cell/tier) within the compound. This can take anywhere from a few hours to nearly a day. Missing at least one scheduled dose of HAART (highly active antiretroviral therapy) may occur in this situation. Additionally, even if a patient has medications in their pocket or personal effects, the DOC will not allow pills or other unknown or unidentified substances to be carried into the jail. These will be confiscated along with the rest of the inmate's clothing and personal belongings, and returned after release from the jail.
Inmates who cannot name or otherwise identify their HAART on site in the receiving area will be given a referral to be seen in sick call and by myself in the HIV specialty clinic. Once the referral is placed, it can take from one to three days (on average) for a follow-up evaluation to be scheduled. Once in the clinic area, the provider can take a more thorough history, including identification of the patient's primary provider, pharmacy, history of adherence, and other relevant information. Inmates who cannot provide this information will have a further delay in receipt of treatment.
Receiving Medication
Once the medications have been prescribed, the pharmacy will process the order. A designated nurse or other provider will visit the pharmacy to collect all the medications for their designated area within the compound. Every correctional facility will have its unique nuances, but the general principles are the same. Detainees who are prescribed medications will approach the nurse via a pill-call window or other method for distribution. This occurs at specific times of the day, and in general the inmates are responsible for approaching the nurse to receive their meds.
There are a number of issues that add layers of complexity to this system. Inmates may not be present on the tier at the time of pill-call due to court, sick call, lockdowns or other security issues, or while performing work duties. Privacy is always a concern since approaching the nurse implies there is something wrong with you that you require medications. Pill-call often does not coincide with meals, and certain medications are required to be taken with food. Some inmates will refuse their medications. Sometimes all of the prescribed medications may not be present, and detainees or health care staff may not know the importance of needing the entire HAART regimen.
A common misconception of jails and prisons is that inmates are receiving directly observed therapy (DOT). DOT usually occurs in special areas such as the mental health units where concern about abuse/misuse/overdose of medications takes precedence over convenience. While this may occur in some facilities (usually smaller jails and prisons), due to time and staffing concerns, many medications are dispensed via keep on person (KOP) format. This means the inmate will receive a designated supply of their medications (anywhere from a week to a month) and they are responsible for taking it on their own accord (just as they would at home). The inmate is also responsible for approaching the nurse when they are out of their treatments and need a refill.
Most jails and prisons are able to perform laboratory assessment of HIV patients. This includes CD4+ and viral load testing along with basic labs such as a chemistry profile or CBC. More sophisticated tests, such as resistance testing (genotypes/phenotypes), may require special approval from administration but usually can be acquired if needed.
After Release
Arguably the most important and challenging aspect of providing HIV care is linkage to care after release. Some patients have a regular provider and they can return to care without difficulty. Most HIV-positive inmates, however, do not have established long-term care with any provider or clinic. This can be due to many reasons. These include but are not limited to: homelessness, substance abuse issues, mental health issues, lack of access/availability of care in their community, recidivism, lack of social support, gang issues, lack of transportation, lack of identification, immigrant status, lack of knowledge of available resources, privacy concerns, and stigma. For these reasons, planning to manage/treat HIV in correctional facilities is far more complex than it appears at face value.
There is intrinsic risk to dispensing HAART to patients who have no supply of medication at home (treatment interruptions and concern for development of resistance). Patients who have not established long-term care and kept appointments may not have demonstrated clear ability to adhere to complex treatments. Lack of access to social workers or case managers will make overcoming complex psychosocial factors and other barriers to care almost insurmountable. For these reasons, it may be the better approach to temporarily delay treatment while the inmate's "real world" concerns are addressed.
Not all jails and prisons have access to intensive case management services or discharge planners. Without these services, inmates are left to fend for themselves after release.
Let me say a few words about correctional officers and other DOC staff. Like any workplace, most employees come to work and do their job to the best of their abilities. The Department of Corrections is no different. Correctional officers (COs) have specific roles, the most important of which is to maintain a controlled environment to keep staff and other detainees safe. They are not trained medical personnel, and it is not their job to assess side effects, missed doses, symptoms, or any other complaints involving medical care. Further, officers may or may not be aware of the laws and policies around confidentiality of medical concerns (including HIV). Ignorance does not excuse anyone from breaching medical confidentiality, but HIV-positive inmates should be especially careful to protect their privacy. There are always a few bad apples in every bunch, but, in general, most COs are professionals who take their duties very seriously. If an inmate believes a CO has breached confidentiality or has otherwise acted inappropriately, they can file grievances or ask to speak to the staff superintendant. In my experience, most of the COs I deal with on a daily basis not only fulfill their duties to keep us safe, they also have a heart and care if someone doesn't look well. I have seen countless acts of officers going above and beyond their required duties to help patients. Just because they wear those cool uniforms doesn't mean they aren't real people just like you and me.

Nintendo has revealed that the Wii U will only support one controller at a time because of price concerns. Nintendo apparently has the technology required to support four controllers at once, but the publisher claims it's too expensive for consumers.
"We're not planning on asking our customers to buy multiple Wii U controllers," said president Satoru Iwata, making the decision sound like he's doing us a favor.
"In the future, we may look at what other opportunities there are for gameplay and, how having two of those controllers might create fun or interesting new styles of play, but of course in doing that, it would require a consumer to purchase an additional controller," he told shareholders. "Therefore, we would need to carefully consider how we could create such an experience and, potentially, how we could ensure that there would be enough value within that experience for the consumer to accept that cost and make that purchase."
This sounds like a weird decision to me. If Nintendo's only concern is consumer cost, why not let the Wii U support multiple controllers and let consumers make the decision for ourselves? Unless of course, it would need to shell out more cash for extra development and it's afraid not enough people would buy a second remote to justify it. That sounds a little less altruistic than Nintendo's version.

Thanks to 'Voice of (not so) Young Homeopathy' for their comments on this week's Parliamentary Science and Technology Evidence check for Homeopathy here:
You can watch the whole meeting here: http://www.parliamentlive.tv/Main/Player.aspx?meetingId=5221
Vo(ns)YH promises a transcript too.
Some funny moments: I thought Goldacre's comment that he wasn't interested in Physics quite hilarious given that homeopathy allegedly 'goes against all its laws', and Ernst saying that he thought it was the long consultation that helped homeopathic patients REALLY begged the question: 'is there any evidence for that? and if there is then why does the NHS only allow 10 minutes?' and David Colquhoun got a dishonourable mention about going around collecting anecdotal evidence.
I'm disappointed that no-one mentioned that only 13% of NHS treatments are backed by solid evidence: http://clinicalevidence.bmj.com/ceweb/about/knowledge.jsp
Update: Here is the evidence supplied to the committee:

'Trouble With the Curve' review: softball
Trouble With the Curve
Drama. Starring Clint Eastwood, Amy Adams and Justin Timberlake. Directed by Robert Lorenz. (PG-13. 111 minutes.)
In an instance of very bad timing, Clint Eastwood's latest role features the actor grumbling at more inanimate objects than at any other point in his career. "Trouble With the Curve" begins with Eastwood's character audibly coaxing his own urine into a toilet; later he sings "You Are My Sunshine" to a gravestone.
He doesn't talk to any furniture, but he does kick a coffee table across the room. Read into that whatever statement about the current presidential administration you choose.
"Trouble" is second-rate Eastwood, existing in a parallel universe where the celebrity has been reduced to a Hallmark movie-of-the-week actor, not one of the most respected directors in Hollywood. Unlike some of his better recent acting outputs, this is a blunt, subtlety-free performance. To use a baseball metaphor - and be prepared, you'll hear one every 12 seconds in this movie - "Trouble With the Curve" has a problem tipping its pitches.
All of that said, there's at least one member of your family who will declare this their favorite movie of the year. It's a Hallmark-style film, but so was "The Blind Side," and that got nominated for a best-picture Oscar. Plus, Justin Timberlake is in this. That guy is like cinematic truffle oil. He makes everything a little bit better.
Eastwood is Gus, a famous but aging scout for the Atlanta Braves, who is so old that he drinks Schlitz and says words like "Interweb." He's a single father who failed in raising his commitment-phobic daughter, Mickey (Amy Adams), who has one scene where she falls asleep literally spooning a legal brief. Gus' old friend Pete (John Goodman, doing his best Wilford Brimley) persuades Mickey to travel with Gus while he scouts a prima donna high schooler. This kid is so ridiculously evil you'll half expect him to punch out a ball boy during the home-run trot, then twirl a handlebar mustache as he crosses the plate.
Adams and Eastwood are very good actors strapped with Julia Roberts syndrome. They're completely unsympathetic characters; we're supposed to root for them simply because they are played by popular actors.
Things improve immeasurably when Timberlake shows up as a former Gus-approved prospect who hopes a scouting assignment leads to play-by-play work for the Boston Red Sox. Timberlake is wholly sympathetic, and his scenes with Adams make her character likable by association. Gus helps the movie's cause by doing cool Clint Eastwood stuff, like breaking a bottle and threatening a guy in a bar.
"Trouble" director Robert Lorenz, a longtime first assistant director on Eastwood's movies, leaves nothing for the audience to ponder. But he knows how to please the crowd. Every detail, from the adorable group of aging scouts Gus hangs out with to the bars they drink in, seems designed to drop audience blood pressure. By the time the movie hits its inside-the-park home run of a ridiculous but satisfying ending, audiences probably won't care.
One final note: This movie criticizes the "Moneyball" credo at every turn, but it has some of the worst baseball scenes in recent memory. Why, except as a script convenience, is the scrawny high school kid with glasses who is scared of the ball hitting one place before the best player on the team? Even Morris Buttermaker knows to put the scrawny kid ninth, behind the pitcher.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. (AP) Prize money for the women's tennis tour will increase more than 10 percent this year.
The WTA said Wednesday that total prize money for the 54 events in 2013, not including Grand Slam tournaments, will rise from $53.3 million to $58.7 million.
The tour will return to Poland in 2013 with an event in April. Last summer, Agnieszka Radwanska became the first Polish Grand Slam finalist since 1939.
The 2014 calendar will add tournaments in Wuhan, China, and Hong Kong. Li Na, the 2011 French Open champ, is from Wuhan, which will take over hosting the event currently in Tokyo. It will feature at least seven of the year-end top 10 players.
Brazil will add a tournament in Florianopolis in 2013 and another in Rio de Janeiro in 2014.

|Data Warehouse Architect
|Defining overall data warehouse architectures and standards, definition of data models for the data warehouse and all data marts, selection of infrastructure components including hardware, DBMS, networking facilities, ETL software, performing applications design and related tasks, performance tuning.Concentrate on getting a resource who has been a seasoned DBA/DB architect rather than an OBIEE architect.
|ETL Developer
|Develop and maintain ETL applications, data cleansing functions, load automation, data acquisition functions and others. Often the source system extract functions will be developed by the applications support teams assigned to the various transaction processing applications.Use in house person as an ETL Developer so he/she can accomplish things faster.
|System Administrator
|Maintaining hardware reliability, system level security, system level performance monitoring and tuning, and automation of production activities including extract and load functions, repetitively produced queries/reports, etc. Ensuring that appropriate disaster recovery functions such as system level backups are performed correctly and on an accepted schedule.In an OBIEE implementation, this role becomes crucial during initial development and deployment. Better get a seasoned OBIEE System Administrator for your first OBIEE implementation.
|Database Administrator
|Involved in physical database design of the data warehouse or data marts. Monitors and tunes DBMS performance, administers end-user access and security at the DBMS level, ensures that DW data is appropriately protected via database backup and related strategies.Let this be filled by an inhouse personnel so that he follows the organization's standards in database development and creates policies that pertains to the database maintainence.

Although the Seminary is part of the Diocese of Rockville Centre, its history begins with the Diocese of Brooklyn. On July 29, 1853, Pope Pius IX separated geographical Long Island from the guidance of Bishops of New York and established the whole of Long Island as the Diocese of Brooklyn. In this diocese (120 miles long, 20 miles its widest), the first Bishop, John Loughlin, found about 15,000 Catholics served by 23 priests and 22 churches.
Over the following years, the clergy for the new dioceses were trained at American seminaries: St. Mary's, Baltimore; Mount St. Mary's, Emmitsburg, Maryland; and Our Lady of the Angels, Niagara, New York; and both American and foreign-born students were also prepared for the priesthood of Brooklyn in European seminaries: St. Patrick's, Maynooth and All Hallows, Dublin (both in Ireland) and the North American, Capranica, and Lateran seminaries in Rome.
The need for a diocesan seminary was filled in 1891 when St. John's Seminary opened in Brooklyn under the direction of the Vincentian Fathers. However, as the Diocese grew, that seminary was unable to accommodate the large numbers of men seeking to serve as priests. Expansion of the building was not feasible, and eventually it was able to accommodate only about one-half of the candidates from the Diocese. In response to the need to establish a place to train the numbers of men seeking priesthood, the third Bishop of Brooklyn, Thomas E. Molloy, in 1924, purchased a tract of land of some 200 acres in the Village of Lloyd Harbor, Huntington, in Suffolk County. That same year, he selected a core faculty and sent them to Munich and Louvain for postgraduate studies in preparation for their role as seminary educators.
In September, 1926, the Institute of Philosophy opened with twenty-five students in what had been the residence of the Conklin family on the Lloyd Harbor property. From 1926 to 1930, this institute provided a two-year course in philosophy for about one hundred students who, after their studies there, went on to theology at St. John's in Brooklyn or one of the other foreign or domestic seminaries traditionally serving the Diocese.
In the meantime, ground had been broken for the new seminary at Lloyd Harbor in May, 1928. This building was dedicated and formally opened on September 28, 1930. Its first student body numbered eight-five men enrolled in the two years of philosophy and the first year of theological study. A class of theology was added each year following until reaching the full complement of four years of theology students. With a majority of seminarians now studying at the new facility, St. John's Seminary in Brooklyn was closed in August, 1932. However, it continued to be a diocesan policy to send a significant number of students to other American and foreign seminaries in addition to the new seminary in Huntington.
In 1957, because of tremendous growth, Long Island was divided into two dioceses. The counties of Nassau and Suffolk were formed into the Diocese of Rockville Centre, leaving Kings and Queens counties as the Diocese of Brooklyn. The Seminary was now located within the boundaries of the newly-erected diocese.
It continued to train men for both dioceses with the traditional six-year course until 1967, when the years of philosophy were phased out as a result of a restructuring of the Seminary program. Currently the Diocese of Brooklyn and Rockville Centre (numbering over three million Catholics served by some 350 parishes) send most of the theological students to Huntington.
In addition, in 1990, the East Coast Province of the Congregation of the Mission, also known as the Vincentians, selected the Seminary as the theologate for their candidates for priesthood. In the fall semester of that year, the Vincentian seminarians and two Vincentian faculty members transferred to this Seminary.
In 1974, for the first time, the Seminary admitted students who were not preparing for ordination. In response to the need for qualified religious educators throughout both dioceses, these men and women entered upon a program of courses in which they received a Master's degree in Religious Education. In response to the growing number of students – men and women, religious and lay – who desired to pursue degrees at the Seminary, the diversity of their interests, and the ever-expanding opportunities for nonordained ministers in the Church, a Master of Arts in Theology program opened in 1982. The growing need for expertise in particular areas of ministry led to the development of a Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies program in 2004. In 2003, candidates for the Permanent Diaconate of the Diocese of Rockville Centre began earning credits toward the Master of Arts in Pastoral Studies degree.
In 1985, in response to numerous requests from experienced ministers for advanced opportunities for ministerial reflection, the Seminary began the process of developing a Doctor of Ministry degree program. In 1987, the first Doctor of Ministry class was accepted by the Seminary and was composed of priests, religious, and lay students from the Dioceses of Rockville Centre and Brooklyn.
Under the leadership of Bishop William Murphy and Monsignor Peter I. Vaccari, the Seminary looks today to meet the challenges of theological education in a new millennium and to continue its rich history as the center for theological study on Long Island.

And very early in the morning . . .
Gateway Covenant Church and friends gather on the river bank – or wherever we can in that direction as snow permits – and we remember and begin the celebration of this glorious event.
And then we come inside to enjoy the warmth and breakfast. I must go and begin the preparations.
Happy and Blessed Easter

Ancestry.com has announced an alliance with Turner Publishing to transfer its publishing assets to Turner over the next few months. Read more at the official press release here.
Given the recent shuttering of Ancestry magazine (see 15 January 2010 announcement on Ancestry Magazine's website), it seems this is a smart move on Ancestry's part. Not only do the titles previously published by Ancestry become a part of Turner's portfolio, but both companies will team up to produce and publish new titles for the genealogy industry.
I consider this more of an "outsourcing" than a "partnership" similar to what Ancestry has already done with its DNA testing division and working with 23andMe. Prediction: the next step is for Ancestry.com to outsource its MyCanvas division.

Well, Tam was expecting a pizza and I took out the doorbell for the house-painting.... I opened the curtains and looked out. Nothing and nobody any closer than a family across the way, folding up the bouncy castle from their daughter's birthday.
I'd no sooner sat back down than: Thump. This is getting annoying! I ignored it, and the next two, then three in a row -- I had to look.
An enormous cicada was buzzing the porch light, like a demented blimp. Every few orbits (or so), it would blunder into the window, with a good solid Thump.
Made my way through the house to the front door, opened it -- not a sign. So I went out and looked for it. Found it huddled on the porch floor behind Tam's little side table; when I moved the table, the cicada buzzed up, startled, with a loud, "eeeEEEEEEEEEeeeeeEEP!" Way bigger than my thumb and shiny as a new penny.
I left it to whatever it was about. Thump.

--But I find them harmless, amusing creatures. I wouldn't hunt them. (Plus they are usually too wily).

One of the schnauzers has decided that cicadas are nothing more than treats on the wing. He likes catching them as they make their commute to the local molting tree but absolutely loves getting one that's airborne. If Sgt. Huck could be trusted outside I'd suggest introducing him to the little buggers. The acrobatics of the intercept are hilarious.
And TBG, try those little .22 LR shot shells.

Why American men should boycott American women
I am an American man, and I have decided to boycott American women. In a nutshell, American women are the most likely to cheat on you, to divorce you, to get fat, to steal half of your money in the divorce courts, don't know how to cook or clean, don't want to have children, etc. Therefore, what intelligent man would want to get involved with American women?
American women are generally immature, selfish, extremely arrogant and self-centered, mentally unstable, irresponsible, and highly unchaste. The behavior of most American women is utterly disgusting, to say the least.
This blog is my attempt to explain why I feel American women are inferior to foreign women (non-American women), and why American men should boycott American women, and date/marry only foreign (non-American) women.

A single cicada can be a neat critter. A bazillion of them can drive an entire neighborhood, um, buggy. And they're big enough that a .22, maybe the recommended .22 shotshell, would be appropriate.
What caliber for Phantom Rickshaw Pulling Troll?
- August 23, 2011 at 6:42 AM
Drang, for the Phantom Rickshaw Troll I'd reccommend a 12ga slug made of compressed, powdered, depleted uranium. Kind of like those powdered tungsten breaching rounds.
If a 12ga is okay for trolls and depleted uranium is good for phantoms (works for Harry Dresden) then with the two you should be good to go.
I'd aim low on a troll. Being a troll I figure a head shot isn't going to hit anything important.

I've decided to go to 24 mm gauge track, because I want to model wagons you can stand up in, and the proportions never look right with 16.5 mm gauge. Scale is about 1:25. I like this scale because I can convert from real to model dimensions in my head. And I can see the parts.
I'm making a goods van, based on a Decauville 60 cm gauge prototype, but in the New Zealand idiom. Prototype wagons here were often in this idiom, because it was cheaper and faster to copy something in the workshop rather than buy it from overseas.
I'm using wood strips cut from plywood veneer. I wet the plywood until the glue comes apart.
Here's my jig for making the ends:
And here's an end glued up in the jig:

The demo started off great. The Active team riders are all up and coming rippers, and they cruised the course while everyone got warmed up. Once the Toy Machine team got warmed up though, there was no stopping them! They pulled just about every trick that could be done at a demo. That's consistancy!
Go to the slideshows to see the TOY MACHINE DEMO AT ACTIVE!

Keep your eyes peeled for a full on Toy Machine demo section on Fuel TV's 54321 this next weekend. The piece is scheduled to air on sat. May 7th on Fox Sports Net (check local listing, it changes times in every region) and air the rest of the week on Fuel. Hey Ma, we gonna be on TV!

Mathew Brady dedicated his life to photographing the Civil War. At his death in 1896 he was penniless and unappreciated. Now, over a century later, his negatives are prized mementos of a defining time in our country's history.
As a young man, Mathew Brady moved to New York City and began working as a jewelry case maker. During this time he was introduced to the inventor Samuel Morse, who showed Brady the daguerreotype photo process.
Soon after this, Brady's interest and affinity toward photography soared. He opened his own studio in 1844, and by the next year began exhibiting his portraits of famous Americans. Soon enough, Brady had become one of America's most well-known photographers. In 1856 he opened a new studio in Washington D. C., a better location for photographing prominent leaders, both American and foreign.
At the height of his popularity as a portrait photographer, Brady turned his attention to the Civil War. He organized a corps of photographers to sally forth with the soldiers, taking photographs of their camps, generals, and troops. Friends warned him of the dangers of being so close to the action of battle, but he persisted anyway, saying, "I had to go. A spirit in my feet said 'Go,' and I went."
Though many photographs from this war are attributed to Brady, he usually only personally photographed the most prominent subjects while his troop of photographers did the rest. Brady worked more as a project manager, supervising the group, preserving their negatives, and buying other negatives to make his collection as comprehensive as possible.
Brady's Civil War photographs captured the true devastation of the war, bringing the terribly reality of the conflict to many Americans living comfortably away from the fronts. Then, suddenly, the fighting was over, and interest in Brady's images vanished. Who wanted to see the violence and death of a finished war, still so fresh in the people's minds?
Brady had thrown everything he had into creating his Civil War photos, including a rather sizable fortune. He had anticipated that the government would want his collection of negatives, but they declined. With no one purchasing his photos, Brady fell into bankruptcy and was essentially forgotten.

Why isn't this future Nintendo 3DS video game, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, included alongside the other 3DS videos Kotaku posted earlier today? Because you'd probably gloss right over this one, missing out on the most intense walking we've ever seen from Mario and Sonic the Hedgehog.
The Nintendo 3DS version of Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games shows just how fast Sonic and his sidekick Miles "Tails" Prower can move, as long as one sneakered furry foot is touching the ground at all times. I doubt you've seen race walking of this caliber in a video game before.
If race walking isn't enough to convince you to click the play button, note that you'll also have the pleasure of watching Dr. Robotnik work a shuttlecock and Metal Sonic row, row, row a kayak.
There's also some footage of Mario putting Luigi into submission if you're into plumber on plumber violence.
Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games comes to the 3DS in early 2012. Walk, do not run, to pre-order.

Dartmouth police seek charges in lawmaker assault
Rep. Christopher Markey attacked
The alleged assault of a state lawmaker outside a youth basketball clinic may have been sparked by the man being denied a job with the state, police in Dartmouth said.
A criminal complaint filed Wednesday against David Oliveira alleges he attacked state Rep. Christopher Markey on Saturday, sending the lawmaker to the hospital for two days with a collapsed lung and possible rib fractures.
A clerk magistrate in New Bedford District Court will hear the complaint and decide whether a charge of assault and battery with a dangerous weapon should move forward. No date for the hearing has been scheduled.
Markey, 45, D-Dartmouth, told police he was at a youth basketball clinic at an elementary school with one of his children when he stepped outside for a phone call. He told authorities Oliveira, 44, launched a profanity-laced attack and blamed Markey because he had failed to land a state job.
Authorities said Markey reported Oliveira poked him in the chest with his finger, pushed him into a wall and when Markey tried to walk away and re-enter the building, grabbed his arm and lowered his shoulder into his chest.
Markey went back into the building but went to a hospital after experiencing shortness of breath and chest pain.
Oliveira's lawyer said he hadn't seen the police report, but called it an "unfortunate incident" and said he wishes Markey a full recovery.

On December 19th, Eli's Cheesecake was visited by representatives of the Saijyo Agricultural High School from Hiroshima, Japan as part of their visit to Chicago and the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences. Yoshrinori Tatsukami, the Principal, and Katsuhiro Ishii, the Agriculture Teacher and Chief of the Super Science High School came to Eli's with Bill Hook, Principal and Sheila Fowler, the Agriculture Department Chair at CHSAS. They toured Eli's Bakery with Mike Neuhaus and then were able to meet with Jeff Anderson. We were delighted with Mr. Tastsuakmi's comment that visiting Eli's Cheesecake was like the dream he had of America when he growing up: cookies baking in the kitchen by smiling family members. All of us at Eli's are pleased that he was able to see our dedication to quality and service.
After their visit to Eli's, the representatives from Saijvo were recognized at a meeting of the Board of the Chicago Public Schools. They also were able to tour the Farm and Agricultural Education Facilities at Illinois State University.
The Saijyo Agricultural High School is 102 years old and has 808 students. It has the goal to become the number 1 agricultural high school in Japan while emphasizing both basic and high level technical education while attracting students who have high aspirations, the spirit of challenge, affection to life and want to make a major contribution to society. Certainly a mission very akin to the work at the Chicago High School for Agricultural Sciences.

Gordon Beckham has not lived up to expectations. After being selected eighth overall by the Chicago White Sox in 2008, Beckham was expected to be one of the team's future stars. And after a strong rookie season, it looked like Beckham might achieve that goal. Since then, however, Beckham was struggled mightily. For the 25-year-old, 2012 is a make-or-break year. The early signs do not look encouraging. …

I hadn't really followed the Ouya very closely, other than to note the supernatural sum generated by its Kickstarter. I have a lot of machines that can play games, so if someone tells me they are making one also, I am usually fine saying "cool" and then waiting to see how things shake out.
Then, people I knew would tell me that they were working on an Ouya game, or games, or they were keeping the Ouya in mind for a mobile project, and I would generally try to be cool about it but my eyebrows are connected directly to my brain and sometimes my eyebrows would say "what the fuck are you talking about."
Ben over at PAR has been on this beat forever, though, and his piece on TowerFall (I've played it; it's fantastic) came around the time I was starting to investigate some of these other shit. I know Kim Swift has a crew working on something called a Soul Fjord; I also know that David Sirlin tagged in Ludeme Games to gin up a version of his Chess 2 for the box. Exclusivity is a gradient in 2013, so I'm not saying that they'll always be there and nowhere else - but God Damn. Curiosity don't cost me nothin', and they've absolutely earned that. Ben goes through the launch box here, if you want to get right down to it. It also does a startling impression of every previous console, I'm told.
I am on record as being okay with Sports per se but being bonkers for simulations of Sports, particularly ones that take place on a table. I backed the shit out of Dreadball, which looked like a boardgame but was actually a wargame informed by boardgame sensibilities. I'm a wargamer, so I didn't care; that said, it wouldn't surprise me if somebody was looking at a sack full of ratman parts and wondering what precisely they had purchased.
There's a Kickstarter with three days left on it for Kaosball, a sports boardgame inspired by wargames - and it's by Eric Lang, who is a personal hero. So If your personal hero says he's making exactly the kind of game you like, and he wants you to make characters for it, you say no. Well, you might say yes. I said no. But he didn't accept the answer, so after devouring the manual I started sending him prototype designs. Gabe's ability to absorb damage from other figures makes him an especially nasty ringer for the Goblins, and Tycho's ability to spread damage gives him a brutal synergy with the Amazons. I sort of wanted them to "hate" each other, mechanically, and I think we got them to a good place.
They come free with a pledge now, and I was overjoyed to be a part of it. Take a look at it today, partially because very soon you won't be able to, and also because (like the rest of his ouvre) it's shit hot.
(CW)TB out.
