An airline cockpit can be a busy place, especially on a short flight. It can also be a boring place with long flights over oceans and hours long stretches without a lot to do. Both scenarios can make pilots tired. KING 5's Glenn Farley gets wired in a ground breaking study to keep pilots alert.
Boeing is always looking for ways to make flying safer and an alert pilot is a safer pilot. Concern has also been growing about pilot fatigue at the FAA and the National Transportation Safety Board leading to new rules on pilot duty time.
But while getting tired seems like such a simple thing, figuring out just why pilots get tired and what can be cone to prevent fatigue is much more complicated.
The research program is expected to run another year using pilots from Delta Airlines. While there are no conclusions yet, the program could see a future where sensors that monitor signs of fatigue like eye movement could warn pilots they are becoming tired even before they realize it.

Kevin Sheedy insists Everton's young stars have nothing to fear from their trip to Arsenal.
The Under-18s face the Gunners at Barnet on Monday evening (7pm) in the fifth round of the FA Youth Cup.
Arsenal are well known for developing young players gleaned from all over the world and won the competition in 2009.
But after losing narrowly 2-1 in London earlier this season Everton won the return league game 3-1 at Finch Farm to offer a real sense of optimism.
He told evertontv: "We have watched them, we know about them and we have played against them twice this season. It will be a very difficult tie away from home but one we are looking forward to and one we know we can win.
"We have nothing to fear, we know they have some excellent players but so have we."
And while Sheedy has been impressed with the Duncan Ferguson-inspired goals haul this season, he is looking for improvements at the other end of the pitch.
"We do a lot of work, Duncan particularly, with the strikers and their finishing. We have scored a lot of very good goals this season. Defensively we are leaking too many goals.
"I am still waiting for someone to score a really good goal against us; we seem to gift teams goals. If we can keep a clean sheet we have a really good chance of winning."

The incorrect tire pressure label may have been installed during assembly. Some vehicles were equipped with 17-inch wheels, but the label is for 16-inch wheels; inflation pressure may also be incorrect. Tire durability and vehicle stability can be affected by incorrect tires or tire pressure, increasing the risk of a crash. Dealers will mail customers the correct tire pressure labels, or they will install the correct label if you prefer. This recall is scheduled to begin by Match 4, 2010.

Record farm income this year underscores the impact that lofty crop prices and strong exports and demand are having on the fortunes of U.S. agriculture. USDA Secretary Tom Vilsack hailed the income forecast by USDA's Economic Research Service, praising the resilience of U.S. agriculture as the rest of the economy continues to struggle.
The optimistic financial data will likely play a big role in the coming farm bill debate. Why? It means the sector is exceptionally healthy and those seeking to defend the status quo have an even tougher fight on their hands.
Already, the National Cotton Council has shifted its stance, calling for some type of revenue-based crop insurance or revenue-based crop insurance safety net in the next bill. The group says it recognizes that some of the current farm programs (direct payments, in particular) are poised for significant changes or even elimination.
Along with the record farm income data comes another development that looms even larger in the farm bill debate: The supercommittee of 12 lawmakers assembled under the debt plan signed into law earlier this summer has to identify at least $1.2 trillion in budget cuts to take place in the next 10 years.
The committee comprises six Democrats and six Republicans: Sen. Max Baucus (D-Mont.); Rep. Xavier Becerra (D-Calif.); Rep. Dave Camp (R-Mich.); Rep. Jim Clyburn (D-S.C.); Rep. Jeb Hensarling (R-Texas); Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.); Sen. Jon Kyl (R-Ariz.); Sen. Patty Murray
(D-Wash.); Sen. Rob Portman (R-Ohio); Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.); Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.); and Rep. Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.).
The House and Senate Agriculture Committees are formulating their plans with an eye on Oct. 14—the deadline for standing committees to submit their recommendations to the supercommittee.
Odds are that if the supercommittee is able to produce a report and the House and Senate approve the plan, it will set the amount of money that farm bill writers have to work with. But if Congress fails to act or the supercommittee can't come to an agreement, across-the-board cuts are still likely. Such cuts would not go into effect until January 2013.
As the farm bill process continues to unfold, the move toward reducing the debt and budget deficit will be a powerful driver. Add in the strong farm income footing and the stage is set for potentially revolutionary farm policy, not the incremental evolutionary shifts that U.S. agriculture has seen in recent farm bills.

Why do we bother with spelling?
Unlike chess, in spelling the middle game is irrelevant. All that matters is the right choice at the beginning and the end. The middle letters, which must be the correct set of letters, can be completely jumbled and the reader will not be confused. To wit: "Arocdnicg to rsceearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it deosn't mttaer in waht oredr the ltteers in a wrod are, the olny iprmoatnt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer are in the rghit pcale. The rset can be a toatl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit pobelrm. Tihs is buseace the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe." How can this little known God-given ability of the human brain be exercised to simplify, and perhaps improve, our lives? Any ttguhohs you cveelr TED fklos?
Closing Statement from edward long
OK. OK. Spelling is important and we should continue to teach it and all the rules associated with it to those learning how to read, speak, and write our language. From Silverstein to Shakespeare; from subjects like cryptography and dyslexia, this debate was spirited and very much worth while. From the Netherlands to China we TEDsters hashed-out our feelings on this skill we call Language. It makes sense that the subject of written communication would interest TED folks, after all, what is more crucial to TED Conversations than wtitten communication? I asked two questions. Both were answered. We bother with spelling because it permits standardized rules of written communication. And, the only possible beneficial application for the remarkable ability of the human brain to unjumble familiar words almost as fast as reading correctly spelled words is to jumble words as a way to draw attention to them and add emphasis. We learned the idea of jumbling and unjumbling words is known in the academic world as TYPOGLYCEMIA, and THE JUMBLING EFFECT. Taht's all floks!
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
May 3 2013: Language itself is an imprecise method of sharing ideas, so you bring up an interesting point: why pretend like proper spelling is crucial to successful communication? We can understand the words just fine, as demonstrated by our ability to read and answer your original post.
Just a thought here: maybe our emphasis on spelling has less to do with accuracy, and more to do with vanity? Or some other non-pragmatic aspect?
May 3 2013: Isn't it a matter of establishing unanymity, Cameron? We must all agree that we will all spell a word the same way, just like we must all agree to call the color of a clear, daytime sky blue. Several reasons for the existence of rules of proper spelling have been put forth herein thus far. That's all fine. Speaking of non-pragmatic, McWhorter argues in his current TED Talk about texting that we should abandon such formality and rules and do what works, like "OMG". I'm getting far afield here. Do you see a beneficial application for the human skill which has the name "typoglycemia"?

Price of weed
I was raised to always find the best deal whenever I bought anything. Wait for the sales, and then stock up. Drive an extra mile for the cheaper supply of gas. So thank goodness floatingsheep has mapped the price of weed across the country. The more yellow, the more expensive the weed gets and the darker the green the lower the price.
As was the case with the Sexperience 1000, these sort of private datasets do come with their caveats. The analysis was based on data from the Price of Weed, a user-managed source that tries to paint a geographic picture of cost. The people who use that site might not always be the most reputable sources. For example, the map above only used points where there were more than 10 pricings. When using lower the threshold to just greater than two points, the map shows higher variability.
Or who knows, maybe the weed aficionados are extremely accurate. Bottom line: go to the source for the best price.
Floatingsheep notes:
One of the things that jumps out clearly is the low prices associated with the marijuana production sites associated with Mendocino, Trinity and Humboldt County in California as well as Kentucky and Tennessee.

Looks like weed is free in the Great Lakes.
Or head to northwest California!
Would be interesting to see this map normalized by cost of living. I suspect that is why the LA area is so high (*rimshot*).
Is it just me or does this thing wreak of supply and demand and the basic economics of place utility? (pun intended)
Isn't it simply because Var(avg(X)) = Var(X) / n?
This is great. Of course I am stuck on the east coast in philly and nyc, the most expensive areas
The fact that the data is "user-managed" makes me agree these are probably bunk stats… A study about prices in states that have decriminalized would be much more controlled as most of these states collect a fair amount of data about this. Either way, prices (of anything) vary by quality, quantity and legality. None of these factors are reflected in the data.
i'd love to see this map compared to quality of living or health. ha.. people need their medicine
Very interesting idea… That could make for some pretty interesting testimony for the legalization of medicinal cannabis.
Time to crunch.
I want to see how they controlled for quality. Maybe it's cheap as dirt in the south, but it might was well be what they're smoking…. Also, a graph of mean quality across region would be nifty, especially for the heads out there looking for their next move. Also, like the idea of comparing with hardship/health as it clearly functions as a palliative within populations. And finally, I'd love to see some dots overlaid on the map to represent incidence of Grateful Dead and/or Phish concerts.
I'm not sure how accurate this is. As I recall, good kine was $400/oz in Colorado.
Its not to accurate, i pay $250.00 for some kickass smoke in northern, Idaho.
There's way too many other variables for this to be accurate. IE – The U.S.' imported weed comes mainly from Mexico, and Canada. Mexico = Cheap stuff you can barely call weed. Canadian stuff = good weed, expensive in the states. So some of the lower pricing will be due to the lack of decent weed available.
Assuming, these figures are "per ounce", You won't get Canadian weed for < 180/ounce in the states. (and 180, would be a pretty good deal, or the worst weed Canada has to offer.)
thats bullshit man i can get OZs for 150 in australia
Yeah 150 an ounce thats the lowest ive seen them here in tassie as well and that is mates rates the highest 350 to 400 for hydro 150 is for bush normally 200.
Amazing. It even picks up Vermont.

Time To Buy Akamai?
Marshall is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The content delivery company Akamai Technologies (NASDAQ: AKAM) was down over 13% after its fourth quarter earnings announcement. Could this be a good time for investors to jump into the stock? I believe the company is at least worth considering.
Although the stock was down, revenue was up 16% for the quarter on a year-over-year basis, and EPS beat consensus estimates. Akamai posted EPS of $0.54, compared to expectations of $0.50. The one disappointment of the announcement was that revenues missed expectations, with the company posting revenue of $378 million, versus the $381 million expected by Wall Street (check out Akamai's profile). As a result, I think the reaction against the stock was overdone.
In last quarter's earnings announcement, Akamai's CEO commented on just how great 2012 was overall for the company:
With strong revenue and profit performance in the fourth quarter, Akamai closed out 2012 with record results on both the top and bottom line.
The competition
Akamai helps customers address challenges related to bandwidth constraints, and is an industry leader at that, delivering around 30% of all Internet traffic worldwide. Other major players in the industry include Rackspace Hosting (NYSE: RAX), InterXion Holding (NYSE: INXN), Limelight Networks (NASDAQ: LLNW), and Level 3 Communications (NYSE: LVLT). So how have these competitors been performing?
Rackspace delivers computing-as-a-service, and recently signed a deal with the data center REIT Digital Realty to lease future data center space (read more about this REIT niche). As far as recent quarterly results, the company posted 4Q EPS of $0.21, compared to consensus estimates of $0.22. However, Rackspace is expected to see robust sales and earnings growth for 2013 of 22% and 35%, respectively, but its valuation makes it a concerning investment. The tech company trades at 68 times earnings, which tops all major peers.
InterXion operates data center facilitates for processing and storage of data content. The company managed to miss last quarter earnings estimates by 8%, and recent news shows that Citi downgraded the stock from buy to neutral based on the risk of continued challenges in Europe. The weakness in Europe is especially concerning for the company considering that it derives all of its revenue from Europe. What's more, the average Wall Street analysts' price target is 15% below InterXion's current trading price.
Another major peer, Limelight, has been on a tear over the past few months after announcing the replacement of its CEO in November. The stock is up 40% since the CEO announcement, despite missing 4Q earnings by 50%. The future outlook, however, is not overly exciting for Limelight, which is expected to continue its string of negative earnings for the next couple of years, and is expected to post negative EPS of $0.13 for 2013 and negative EPS of $0.15 for 2014.
Meanwhile, Level 3's recent earnings results pushed the stock down by 13% earlier this month. The company reported 4Q results that showed an EPS loss of $0.26, well above the expected $0.18 per share loss. The company is still implementing the 2011 Global Crossing acquisition, which should provide the company with revenue diversification and offer synergies over the long run. However, it appears this acquisition may continue to strain the company in the interim, where 2012 interest expenses were upwards of $744 million, versus 2012 EBIT of $733 million, and the company's 4Q interest coverage ratio dipped below 1.0x to 0.9x.
All of these tech-focused companies are down year to date on concerns over weak demand:
With all the companies having been pressured lately, what makes Akamai the best pick? It's a matter of valuation, where Akamai reigns supreme.
Akamai trades on the low-end of its peers on a valuation basis with a 15x price to earnings ratio, which is also on the low-end of its five-year P/E range of 9.3x to 48.8x. Let's see just how cheap Akamai is on P/E and P/CF bases compared to the others:
Price to Earnings (next year earnings)
- Akamai 15x
- Rackspace Holdings 68x
- Interxion Holding 27x
- Limelight Networks n/a
- Level 3 65x
Price to Operating Cash Flow
- Akamai 15x
- Rackspace Holdings 29x
- Interxion Holding 27x
- Limelight Networks 29x
- Level 3 23x
Future growth
Solid growth for Akamai going forward should come by way of increased data usage, which should increase bandwidth requirements. This will come from the adoption of cloud computing technologies, as cloud solutions makes up almost 60% of Akamai revenues. Tech research firm Gartner believes that cloud spending will increase by 5% through 2015. Meanwhile, IDC believes that spending on public and private cloud computing will be nearly 40% of all IT spending by 2015, up from the current 5%. These growth prospects should help drive Akamai's earnings, and consequentially, its stock price higher.
Don't be fooled
The industry appears to be promising, with a rising need for addressing bandwidth constraints, and Akamai is well positioned as an industry leader. What's more, the company has no long-term debt and over $1 billion in cash on hand. As far as hedge fund interest, billionaire Ken Griffin upped his stake in Akamai by over 500% during the third quarter (check out Griffin's new picks). The top hedge fund owner for Akamai, with over 4.8 million shares, is Coatue Management (see Coatue's profile). Coatue is a tech-focused hedge fund managed by 'tiger cub' Philippe Laffont.

What other readers are saying about this title:
Sharon M. said:
An engrossing account of the journey that Henry Morgan Stanley undertakes to locate the missing British explorer, David Livingstone. The African landscape is vividly portrayed, along with fascinating but often gruesome details of the amazing hardships and violence encountered along the way, including tribal conflicts and the slave trade. While providing well-researched historical context, the book is essentially a suspense story and a great adventure.

FROM THE ATLANTA OPERA – The Atlanta Opera's Zurich General Director Dennis Hanthorn announced today the details of the company's 2010-2011 season, its fourth in the Cobb Energy Performing Arts Centre. The Atlanta Opera's new season, featuring Puccini's beloved "La bohème," Gershwin's American classic "Porgy and Bess," and Mozart's funny and poignant "Così fan tutte," will be presented October 2, 2010 through April 17, 2011.
Season tickets are on sale now. Ticket prices for a full, 3-opera subscription range from $75 to $459 plus handling. To purchase, visit www.atlantaopera.org or call 404-881-8885 or 1-800-35-OPERA (Mon-Fri, 9 am–5 pm). Single tickets, starting at $25, will go on sale in September.
The Atlanta Opera opens its 2010-2011 season at the Cobb Energy Centre on October 2, with Giacomo Puccini's beloved La bohème. This incomparable opera classic tells the tale of six penniless artists full of idealism, beauty and unbridled love. Their harsh encounter with the realities of life is heart-wrenching. Italian soprano Grazia Doronzio sings Mimi with the role of the lovely and coy Musetta being sung by soprano Jan Cornelius. Mimi's love Rodolfo is sung by tenor Bryan Hymel. Rodolfo's friends Colline and Schaunard are sung by bass Matthew Curran and baritone Andrew Garland, respectively. Gregory Vajda, who led The Atlanta Opera Orchestra in the 2008 production of "Cinderella," returns to conduct.
The second opera in The Atlanta Opera's 2010-2011 season is George Gershwin's American classic Porgy and Bess with performances on February 26, March 1, 4 and 6, 2011. Set in Charleston, Porgy and Bess depicts the people of Catfish Row struggling with hard work and tough times and yearning for a better life and great love. Porgy and Bess features some of the most popular tunes in opera including the lullaby "Summertime". Bess will be sung by soprano Laquita Mitchell, who recently sang the role with San Francisco Opera. Clara will be sung by Thomasville native soprano NaGuanda Nobles. Atlanta native baritone Michael Redding sings Porgy and the role of Sportin' Life will be sung by Chauncey Packer, who debuted in that role in the Atlanta Opera's 2005 Porgy and Bess production and recently sang it at San Francisco Opera. The Atlanta Opera Chorus, which is prominently featured in Porgy and Bess, was widely acclaimed for its 2008 European performances in Paris' Opéra-Comique touring production of the work. Boston Pops conductor Keith Lockhart will make his Atlanta Opera debut conducting The Atlanta Opera Orchestra, Chorus and cast.
The Atlanta Opera closes its 2010-2011 season with Mozart's funny and poignant Così fan tutte on April 9, 12, 15 and 17, 2011. Mozart's brilliant masterpiece tells the story of two officers who boast of their girlfriends' faithfulness, only to have a clever friend put it to the test. Disguises, charades, mischief, and heartbreak result, but in the end, all are much wiser in the ways of love. The two sisters, Fiordiligi and Dorabella, will be sung by soprano Keri Alkema and University of Georgia graduate mezzo-soprano Jennifer Holloway, respectively. Soprano Kiera Duffy, who recently appeared on the Atlanta Opera stage in "Akhnaten," sings Despina, and tenor Matthew Plenk sings the role of Ferrando. Both Duffy and Plenk are featured in the Metropolitan Opera's behind-the-scenes documentary, "The Audition." The scheming Don Alfonso will be sung by bass Jason Hardy. Making their Atlanta Opera debuts, Argentine Jose Maria Condemi will stage direct and Metropolitan Opera conductor Kazem Abdullah will lead The Atlanta Opera Orchestra.

The campus is located at 288 N.E. Norton Lane, off McMinnville's Highway 18 Bypass. The town hall will be held in Room 101.
The newest member of Oregon's congressional delegation — and the only woman — she is back home holding a series of spring town halls throughout the district.
The former state legislator won convincing primary and general election victories last year to claim the seat formerly held by fellow Democrat David Wu.
She is serving on the House Budget Committee and House Science, Space and Technology Committee. Her subcommittee assignments focus on education, research, technology and innovation.

I look forward to this, because the key component to lack of social economic mobility is education. Since the U.S. is dead last among all developed democracies, the focus will be attempting to bring social economic classes on the same line in order to achieve college success and employment which will create a strong future of positive conomic growth for all.

A Gorgeous Pool Table That Will Make You Drool
I love playing snooker on a full-size regulation table, but in a pinch a good game of pool will do fine; however I think I would have no problem switching my preference if I had one of these absolutely beautiful BlackLight pool table from Billards Toulet.
Made from non-deformable steel with an iron body frame it also comes with an integrated jukebox, soundproof ball return, leather finishing on the pockets, and a lifetime flatness guarantee.
Unfortunately there is no word on price.

Georgia Tech A-back Roddy Jones sat down with me for a few minutes on Tuesday to talk about last season, this summer, and what's coming up for the Jackets.
AJC: Are you taking any classes right now?
Jones: Yep, I'm taking three classes right now: Math, Spanish and Management Science.
AJC: Which one is your favorite?
Jones: I'm probably the best at math, but Spanish is my favorite. It's just a fun class. The teacher's real light and it's a small class. So, it's pretty fun.
AJC: How do you say "We're going to beat Georgia" in Spanish?
Jones: [In English] We're going to beat Georgia. I don't know what 'beat' is, but I can say 'we're' and 'Georgia.'
AJC: What are you going to do with the rest of your summer?
Jones: Take classes. Try and go home every couple of weekends. I want to spend as much time with my brother before he leaves for the Air Force Academy.
AJC: You're not the kind of son who brings home five or six duffel bags of clothes are you?
Jones: I usually keep it to 1 or 2. I usually come home with a little laundry and an empty stomach. I usually give my mom about 10 minutes notice.
AJC: What's your favorite meal that she cooks?
Jones: It changes a lot but right now I'm in a baked ziti phase. She makes excellent baked ziti. You can ask anybody who has had some.
AJC: You cook at all?
Jones: I try. I cook a little bit. I usually grill more than anything else.
AJC: What's your specialty?
Jones: I can do it all. Hamburgers, hot dogs, chicken, ribs, steak. Most of the time it's ribs and chicken.
AJC: What are you working on football-wise this summer?
Jones: Really want to improve my hands, so that's something I'm working on.
AJC: How do you do that?
Jones: Just catching balls. Every time you catch you got to really focus on the little things in catching. When you are out on the field you don't have time to focus on that stuff. It's got to become second nature. Little things like looking at the point of the ball.
Other than that it's pretty much getting bigger, faster, stronger, like every summer.
AJC: What was your personal best moment last season?
Jones: Scoring the touchdown against Georgia. The run down the sidelines. Jus because of the situation that it was in. And because of who it was against. Play that maybe comes once in a lifetime.
It was just a great moment.
AJC: Up in the press box, where I was, we thought Reshad Jones had the angle and that he was going to push you out of bounds.
Jones: If you go back and look at the tape I think one of our guys, Nick Claytor, tries to cut him and maybe gets a hand on him a little bit. That little push threw him off balance enough to make it happen.
That's what coach says, you never really know what will happen until you get after a guy.
AJC: From where we were, we couldn't tell where the line was and where he was. It looked really tight.
Jones: It was, it was. Honestly I thought I had stepped out of bounds, just because I was so close. You never really know once you get that close. I always remember my old coach saying finish the play until they blow the whistle. That was my coach in middle school. Now it paid dividends because I finished the play and it turns out there was no call.
AJC: The team's best moment?
Jones: Beating Georgia. To break the streak was just great. To be in the lockeroom after the game. To see the joy and relief on the senior's faces was just great. It was their last chance. It's something that every class that comes in here wants to do for their senior season is beat Georgia.
AJC: Tough schedule; Jackonsville State followed by back-to-back Thursdays against Clemson and Miami. What's going to be the key to a good start for yall?
Jones: Really camp is going to be the key. Making sure we lay a great foundation during camp. But really just taking it one game at a time. We've got to treat Jackonsville State like Clemson, just like we are going to treat Miami, just like we are going to treat Georgia at the end of the year. So you've just got to treat it one game at a time. Especially because we don't have a bye week in their until the end of the season. It's going to be a week-to-week thing and just focus on that team and just go 1-0 every week.
AJC: Who should Tech fans expect to get a surprise from this season?
Jones: I don't know if it's much of a surprise from these two guys after seeing them in the spring but Anthony Allen and Marcus Wright are really going to be real good players for us this year.
As far as new guys that you'll see a surprise from, on the defensive side of the ball I think Robert Hall is going to have a great year. He looked great in the spring and was darn near impossible for us to block. Those guys are really poised to have a great year. They've always been great players but they're going to get a really good chance to shine this year.
AJC: Anything you want to say to Tech fans reading the blog?
Jones: Thanks for your support all the time. To hell with Georgia and 'Hi Mom.'

Roddy Roddy is going to be the man. Dwyer and Roddy are going to be a pair to play against. BUt, that Dwyer is a better looking guy, and has a great smile, great body, and a pretty face. But, anyway, I like the chances of GT this year

I surely don't think A or B backs will be a problem this year. Without injuries we are loaded. Keep working hard boys, this could be a great season.

I'm enjoying the interviews as well. It's rare we get to see a players point of view on things. Most of the time it's coaches and sports writers.

Nice interview, Doug. Much longer than most interviews go. However, is there an editor in the house? There are a number of typos, capitalization issues, and the like…
May 28th, 2009
5:52 pm
I agree, Typos Galore. I hope Doug's high school English teacher doesn't read it. If so, he/she may have coronary failure.
May 28th, 2009
6:10 pm
Keep 'em comin' Doug. It's nice to hear how Jones talks. Very much an everyman. I like that we have that in our program. If our A-backs start catching the ball this year, with consistency, this goes from a potent offense to a lethal offense.
One of the great things about the spread option is that if a guy catches the ball 10 yards past the line of scrimmage, he's probably only got one man to beat to the end zone. I like Jones' chances of going through by a cornerback. I like Allen and Dwyer's chances of going through a cornerback.

Yes, the key to winning all the games this year is no more fumbles and no more going for it on 4th & long at mid-field or worse…..keep possession and field position and the games will be much more fun for all.

I've watched that play dozens of times (the game is still on my Tivo) and it sure looks like Reshad Jones was knocked completely to the ground. He did a really good job of getting back up and almost making the play. I don't think I'd be as complimentary if he actually had.

May 29th, 2009

Uh, where did it say he was taking finite calculus big guy? It says he's taking "math." If you Techies were half as smart as you thought you were you wouldn't seriously think you can get away with the lies that you try to spread. That's all I have to say about that.
All this focus on Georgia by Tech players is honestly flattering. But those rings weren't about Georgia at all were they? Sure thing clowns.

You're right. On paper Georgia should be way better. They had better recruits, more money, a bigger fanbase… tech had a new offense, new coach, 3-4 star players, NCAA probation.
Our QB ran for more yards than Knowshon Moreno. We put 45 points on you guys.
Unfortunately, Huh?, games are played on the field. Not on paper.
May 29th, 2009
11:44 am
I guess you don't know blatant sarcasm when you read it, huh big guy? And to those who are on Roddy for using "math" instead of the course name, why is it such a big deal? There's nothing less than survey of calculus and finite math at GT- period. Those are the minimums required for the colleges of management and ivan allen (the more liberal arts majors). I know you're upset that UGAy asked how many points a 3 point basket was worth in its nothing classes, but it's true when we say there is nothing anywhere close at GT to take as electives or majors. The management degree (most athletes take it) is probably the closest there is- and it was #22 in the nation. Try again.
May 29th, 2009
11:50 am
Tech's kicker is taking finite calculus. That's what he was referring to. Is there a bigger troll anywhere than huh? Shouldn't you be celebrating Ealey reportedly making the MINIMUM to get into your cow college?
May 29th, 2009

UGA is the Greatest College and Greatest Football team in the country.
You Nerds play too much world of warcraft to understand that.
I hate Tech more than anything in the world. Why do you think I'm here day in and day out. Because you Techies bother me with your annoying rants about my Team….THE DAWGS! Get ready to get beat down by Cox this year!
May 29th, 2009
11:52 am
Doug, keep the in depth interviews coming. I'd be curious to hear from some players who will be replacing the few departing seniors, like Hall, T.J., Clayton, Tarrant. Also nice to get some updates on the spring injuries.
May 29th, 2009
11:58 am
In regards to your quote:
"All this focus on Georgia by Tech players is honestly flattering"
You know what's more flattering. You UGA fans showing yourself on the TECH blog every day! It means you can't stop thinking about Georgia Tech for some reason. If Tech "doesn't matter" and is the worthless school you think it is then why are you reading the TECH BLOG every day??? and why are you so worried about Tech Football and it's fans and what they are saying??? Why do we bother to you so much?? Why did you let that loss effect you like it did? If you lose this year will you still be on here every day to talk trash? Take a step back a second and look at it from an outsiders perspective….
Kinda sad that you're on the TECH BLOG everyday isn't it?
Kinda sad that the address bar on your computer always says
"georgia tech sports" right?
Have you saved the Tech section in the AJC as a favorite yet?
Something tells me you have….
Sad sad stuff my friend….
Good luck next year…I hope you guys win for your sake or you might just go insane…

Huh? Is the epitome of UGAg fans, sore Losers who have never accomplished anything. That's why they are known everywhere they go as the most obnoxious fans in the country.
I'm sure he makes the fleabag nation proud. He represents them well.
I do wonder though, if his GT Boss fired him, or if he was slapped by a GT fan for running his mouth. LOL.
I bet he was slapped in front of his buddies and cowered down like that little Sally he is.

- Disclaimer
- How to Read a Study Record
Colonization of patients with Antimicrobial Resistant Bacteria (AMRB) like Methicillin Resistant Staphylococcus Aureus (MRSA), Vancomycin-Resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and Extended-Spectrum Beta-Lactamases (ESBL) enterobacteriaceae leads to infections; and ultimately to adverse outcomes (eg prolonged hospital stay, death). This is an urgent problem in Europe, especially in Intensive Care Units (ICUs).
In this trial, colonization of patients with these AMRB will be assessed in the baseline period (6m). In phase 2 the effect of a Hygiene Improvement Program, including Chlorhexidine body washings and a Hand Hygiene training program, will be assessed (6m). In phase 3 units will be randomized to either Active Surveillance with Chromagar based tests or a Molecular based tests.
Study Hypothesis: the abovementioned interventions will reduce ICU-acquired colonization rates with MRSA, VRE and ESBL.
Hospital Acquired Infections
Other: Chromogenic surveillance
Other: Molecular surveillance
|Study Type:
|Study Design:
|Allocation: Randomized
Endpoint Classification: Efficacy Study
Intervention Model: Parallel Assignment
Masking: Open Label
Primary Purpose: Screening
|Official Title:
|Mastering Hospital Antibiotic Resistance, a Cluster Randomized Intervention Study in Intensive Care Units Throughout Europe (Work Package 3)
- Colonization with MRSA, VRE and ESBL [ Time Frame: On admission ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]By taking surveillance swabs from nose, perineum and wounds (if present) on admission we will assess whether patients are colonized with MRSA, VRE and ESBL at the moment of ICU admission. Swabs will be processed on chromogenic agars.
- Colonization with MRSA, VRE and ESBL [ Time Frame: During ICU stay ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
By taking surveillance swabs twice weekly from nose, perineum and wounds (if present) we will assess whether patients become colonized with MRSA, VRE and ESBL during ICU stay. Swabs will be processed on chromogenic agars.
Note: for patients admitted for longer than 21 days, surveillance is reduced to once weekly.
- Incidence density of new acquisitions with MRSA, VRE and ESBL individually. [ Time Frame: Acquired during ICU stay (median LOS 14 days) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]
In phase 2, we implement a hygiene improvement program. We will assess if this program reduces the number of patients acquiring colonization with MRSA, VRE and ESBL. We will measure colonization as stated in the primary outcome measure.
In phase 3, we will implement direct feedback of screening results, and isolation of colonized patients. Swabs will be processed either by chromogenic agar (a) or molecular tests (b). Thus, the effect of these interventions on incidence density of new acquisitions of MRSA, VRE or ESBL will be assessed.
- ICU-acquired bacteremia rates with MRSA,VRE or ESBL. [ Time Frame: Acquired during ICU stay (median LOS 14 days) ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will collect data on all bacteremias occuring during ICU stay, after completion of the trial. We include all bacteremias with s aureus (MSSA and MRSA), e faecium/ e faecalis ("S" and "R") and enterobacteriaceae ("S" and "R"). Data will be collected from the microbiology labs.
- 28 day-mortality [ Time Frame: 28 days ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]We will collect length of stay, and disposition at d28 as well as disposition at discharge from the ICU. Data will be collected in the online CRF.
|Study Start Date:
|June 2008
|Study Completion Date:
|May 2011
|Primary Completion Date:
|May 2011 (Final data collection date for primary outcome measure)
|Assigned Interventions
Active Comparator: Chromogenic Arm
Active surveillance of colonization with MRSA or VRE by chromogenic agar with isolation of positive patients.
Other: Chromogenic surveillance
All admitted patients are screened on admission for MRSA and VRE by chromogenic agar and isolated when positive
Other Name: chromogenic screening
Active Comparator: Molecular Arm
Active surveillance of colonization with MRSA and VRE by PCR; and of ESBL by chromogenic agar with isolation of positive patients
Other: Molecular surveillance
All patients are screened for MRSA and VRE by PCR; and for ESBL by chromogenic agar on admission. Positive patients are isolated
Other Name: molecular screening
Detailed Description:
A cluster-randomized trial with a stepped wedge design will be conducted in adult ICU's throughout Europe
The MOSAR-ICU trial is motivated by three primary considerations:
- Advances in behavioral sciences and research about (hand) hygiene compliance have allowed a better understanding of barriers to increase compliance with (hand) hygiene practices within healthcare institutions;
- Recent investigations have identified new rapid tests, both chromogenic media and molecular based tests, which may help identifying previously unknown carriage of AMRB at the time of admission; and
- Currently practiced procedures, such as regular surveillance of all patients and daily cleansing of ICU patients with Chlorhexidine, have not been evaluated properly for their effectiveness.
In conclusion, evidence base derived recommendations from prospective studies regarding the costeffectiveness of different control strategies are lacking.
This study assess the impact of the three interventions on ICU acquired colonisation rates for AMRB(MRSA,VRE and ESBL).
Study design: Multi-center, cluster-randomised clinical trial.
Study population: Adult patients admitted to the ICU.
Intervention: The first phase of the study will be a 6-month baseline period to determine acquisition rates of AMRB during current standard practice in the individual participating centers (including currently performed surveillance strategies). The second phase will consist of a Hygiene Improvement Program to improve standard precautions and hand hygiene; and daily washing of all ICU patients with Chlorhexidine gluconate (HIP; 6 months). In both periods Contact Precautions (contact isolation) will be implemented for carriers of AMRB, as identified upon clinical cultures and following current practice of individual wards. In the third phase of the study (12 months) units will be randomized, and all interventions of phase 2 will be continued in all units. Half of the units will implement surveillance (admission and twice weekly cultures) of all admitted patients for carriage of MRSA and VRE using chromogenic agar. The other half will add molecular based rapid testing of ALL admission cultures for MRSA and VRE in addition to twice weekly screening of all patients with Chromagar based tests for MRSA, VRE and ESBL.
Main study endpoints: ICU-acquired colonization rates with MRSA, VRE and ESBL.
Primary Objective: To evaluate the impact of enhanced standard barrier precautions and rapid screening with targeted isolation of patients carrying AMRB on transmission of AMRB.
Secondary Objectives:
- Evaluate the impact of interventions on ICU-acquired bacteremia rates with MRSA, VRE or ESBL.
- Evaluate the impact of the HIP intervention on frequency and quality of hand hygiene, the application of standard precautions and the use of contact precautions during patient care.
- Evaluate the effect of the three strategies on other patient outcomes, including length of stay and in hospital mortality.
- Evaluate the overall antibiotic use and effectiveness of empirical treatment of ICU-acquired bacteremia.
- Evaluate the effect of the three strategies on the incidence density of new acquisitions with MRSA, VRE and ESBL individually.

Everything we (think we) know about the iWatch
What do we know about the iWatch?
Everyone and their brother (if their brother's Steve Wozniak) is excited about the possibility of Apple's iWatch — the first bona fide new product line launched under the watch (no pun intended) of Tim Cook.
So far, definitive details about Apple's debut in the wearables market have been few and far between. Everyone's banking on a massive winner, but just what do we know — or think we know — about Apple's first smartwatch? Scroll through the gallery to find out.
Photo: Todd Hamilton
We need sensors, lots of sensors
The iPhone and iPad are chock-full of sensors, ranging from proximity sensors and accelerometers to magnetometers and ambient light sensors. Next to the iWatch, however, they could end up looking like the dumb mobile phones of a pre-iPhone age. That's because if you believe the rumors, the iWatch is set to be loaded with more sensors than you can shake a, well, a very-sensor-filled thing at.
A recent report from The Wall Street Journal suggests the iPhone will feature a massive 10 different sensors, including one for analyzing sweat. Patents from Apple suggest the company is also set on expanding the functionality of present-generation wrist-worn devices, with research into everything from monitoring users' heart rates to sensors that can work intelligently together to deduce the precise activity a person is doing (for example, combining motion and pulse-rate measurements with location sensors to determine if you're out for a jog or running on a treadmill). Impressive stuff!

Paging Dr. iWatch
There have been many wearables and quantified-health applications over the past few years, but most have steered clear of proclaiming themselves medical devices. Some of the rumors about the iWatch (such as the fact that it will be able to listen to the sound blood makes as it flows through arteries, and use this to predict heart attacks) may sound a bit too good to be true. But the number of biosensor and biomedical engineers Apple has snapped up recently makes us think the iWatch could be a device that crosses over firmly into the "medical monitoring" category.
According to one recent report, a reason for the long delay before launch is that Apple is awaiting certification from the Food and Drug Administration to get the iWatch approved as medical equipment. Given Apple's recent announcement of the Health app for iOS 8 to collect and show data on calorie consumption, sleep activity, blood oxygen levels and more, plus the conspicuous absence of a health-tracking fitness band in Apple's last iPhone 5s ad, the idea that the iWatch will be geared toward health seems as close to a foregone conclusion as you get for a device that hasn't even been officially announced yet.
Even more amazing features
Will the iWatch be a full-fledged independent device in its own right, or will it take the Pebble smartwatch approach and basically be a glorified notification system for your phone? Probably a bit of both. The continued convergence of iOS and OS X with features like Continuity means your iWatch is likely to work cohesively with all the other Apple products in the ecosystem.
At the same time, the device is likely to go far beyond a simple second screen to save you from taking your iPhone out of your pocket. In addition to the various sensors we've talked about, recent reports have hinted at a possible Dick Tracy-style two-way radio, an in-built camera, highly desirable wireless (possibly solar) charging and Siri integration. The latter might even make the iWatch the remote control at the center of your new Apple-run smart home. No wonder people think it's going to be a bigger revolution than Google Glass.
iWatch as Apple takes over the fashion world
Apple's regard for top-notch design means it has always walked the line between tech and aesthetics, but the company's leap into the world of wearables will be its most high-fashion move yet. Other tech companies, including Samsung, have already trotted out their own smartwatches to beat Apple to market, but even the staunchest supporter of these devices is unlikely to say that they're Rolex-beaters.
Realistically, the most anyone has been able to say about current wearables like the Nike FuelBand SE is that they are inoffensive. That's simply not going to be enough if the iWatch is going to be the kind of mass-market product that will finally bring wearables into the mainstream. In addition to its gamut of biotech engineers, Apple has also got the former CEO of fashion house Yves Saint Laurent on its books, who was hired in 2013 for "special projects." More recently, Apple hired a key executive from Swiss watchmaker TAG Heuer, following earlier reports that Cupertino had unsuccessfully been trying to poach luxury watchmakers for its wearables debut.
Unlike the iPhone 6, which has seen numerous leaked images over the past few months, we've seen very little about the iWatch that doesn't fall under the heading of wishful thinking. One of the most detailed (and believable) notes came earlier this year from Apple analyst Ming-Chi Kuo of KGI Securities, who claims that Apple will create several different iWatch models in 2014, including an ultra-luxurious model that will retail for several thousands of dollars.
For people with smaller wrists, there will be an iWatch with a 1.3-inch display, while those with thicker wrists will get a 1.5-inch model. Both will boast flexible AMOLED display panels (an Apple first) and hard sapphire crystal glass like many of the luxury watches already available on the market. Other rumors have suggested a 2.5-inch "slightly rectangular" screen, while Brian Blair of Rosenblatt Securities thinks it'll be round.
I guess what I'm saying here is pick one idea, state it like you know for sure, and then market your services as an analyst.
What's in a name?
Apple has been known to change the names of projects when word about them leaks, but "iWatch" is so much better than alternatives like the iPad-sounding "iBand" that it would be a little surprising if this name didn't make it to market. Apple seems to think the same way, since it's been snapping up trademarks on the name like crazy for the past year, often under the guise of a shell company.
When can we expect it?
Re/code says Apple's "first, long-in-the offing foray into wearable devices" is slated for an October reveal. While that's by no means the final word on the matter, the publication's sources have been spot-on with future Apple event dates in the past. We'll keep our wrists bare below the elbows just in case.

The Kernel Development Process
The Kernel Development Process
An interesting debate recently shed some light on the kernel development process. Greg Kroah-Hartman started up the stable review cycle for the 3.3.2 kernel. The idea of the review cycle is to incorporate patches into the tree and give people a chance to test them before the 3.3.2 kernel is actually released. The goal is to get Linus Torvalds's 3.x releases as stable as possible while Linus and the rest of the developers continue preparing the next 3.x release. In theory, the 3.3.1, 3.3.2, 3.3.3, …, 3.3.y kernels will each be more stable and reliable than the one before.

Time to Capitalize on QE3
Piyush is a member of The Motley Fool Blog Network -- entries represent the personal opinion of the blogger and are not formally edited.
The Phillips curve attached below, explains the short term inverse relationship between inflation and unemployment. However, over the longer run it suggests that the unemployment rate will pull back to its natural value if inflation rate is kept constant. But it's not constant!
As a result of $40 billion worth of monthly liquidity injections, jobless claims recently touched their 5 year lows. But just as its effects started to wear off, Fed decided to inject $45 billion of additional monthly liquidity. This would definitely add to the country's inflation, meaning which, the unemployment rate could continue to decline. This would further boost the disposable income in the economy which eventually presents a bullish case for credit services companies like Visa (NYSE: V), MasterCard (NYSE: MA), American Express (NYSE: AXP) and Discover Financial (NYSE: DFS).
The Numbers Game
But American Express and Discover Financial don't just service retail payments. American Express is a global bank, which makes it hard for the company to deliver skyrocketing returns, similar to its other indirect peers. However Discover Financial has been able deliver similar returns, due to its relatively smaller size and series of geographical expansions. As a matter of fact, Discover Financial entered the booming Indian market, less than a year ago. The company hasn't been involved in any mass advertising campaigns, which suggests that its growth potential in India has largely been untapped.
(comparative stock returns over the last 5 years)
The chart attached below, displays that the operating cash flows and liquid positions of Discover Financial have declined, but its liabilities have more than doubled over the last 5 years. The picture begins to look gloomy, until we add its net income to the chart. With strong net income growth, its high debt/equity ratio looks okay. Discover Financial is a growing company, and it needs capital to expand, which justifies its leveraged position.

Reasons to Buy Visa and MasterCard
But Discover Financial also carries risks of Non-Performing-Assets or student loan defaults. Investors looking to avoid such risks should consider investing in MasterCard and Visa, even though they don't appear to be undervalued. Both Visa and MasterCard operate with little or no debt, involve less risk on transactions and their EPS is expected to grow faster than Discover Financial or American Express. Just because their P/E is above 15x doesn't mean that the opportunity is lost.
For the recent quarter, Visa reported record revenues of $2.85 billion, rising 12% YoY against the estimated 10.7%. Its EPS rose by 22% due to onetime tax benefits, and its operating income stood at $2.85 billion against the estimated $2.82 billion. The street was already impressed and to add to the investors delight, the company raised its FY13 FCF guidance to $6 billion. The company already has a $1.5 billion share repurchase program, which would boost its EPS and reduce its dividend burden.
MasterCard also reported blockbuster earnings. Its quarterly revenue surged by 9.7%, and its profits surged by 18% (excluding the onetime litigation charges of $495 million) which were better than expected. The results beat the estimates. Moreover, the board of MasterCard has approved a $2 billion share repurchase program, and doubled its quarterly cash dividends.
My Foolish Conclusion
In my opinion, MasterCard and Visa are as good as an investment can get. Not only did their results crush the Street's estimates, but their respective boards are doing everything to return value to their investors. A buyback plan when the company is doing well, only displays the amount of faith and confidence of the board in the company's future. In my opinion the liquidity injections give investors a chance to lock in greater returns with less risk. Naturally, credit services companies, Visa and MasterCard have a better reward-to-risk ratio than their indirect peers and I think both Visa and MasterCard are worth a Buy Rating. But that doesn't call for shorts on Discover Financial or American Express.
