Recently bought this product from flipkart. Delivery and packaging was really nice.
I am using it for my P4 HT 3.4GHz. I have seen CPU core temp reach upto 83 deg C with the stock cooler (perhaps because it was getting older). Moreover the stock cooler would revv up very high esp when viewing videos and playing games.
With this cooler and a vertical tower type arrangement I have seen the CPU core temp steady at 60 deg C. In horizontal position temp was steady at 56 deg. Fan is very silent and does not cross 2300 rpm.
Product seems fragile and has to be installed carefully. But once don... (Expand)
This cooler is pretty good compared to other regular CPU coolers. Considering its price this is a very good and decent product. Since Cooler Master is renowned brand in cooling products. So this product.
It is smaller in size compared to other Coolers of higher price range but if your budget is low then this cooler will do very good in the circumstances.. This cooler is very ideal for Core i3 processors but will not do for Core i5 or i7 processors.
Know your processor before buying this cooler.
Overall this cooler is very nice for decent and average users. But NOT meant for high-end users... (Expand)
Bought my CPU temperatures to around 50c, which was touched 80 most of the times, Jus loved the product. Not much happy with the shipping time.
Gr8 Cooler for processor.
i installed it for my p4 HT..... it works fine... its a 3.2ghz processor, so i need a cooler with heat pipe... also it is good for micrto atx cabinets since it is smaller in height...
Got it yesterday, product packaging was good as always from FK.
About the product: This is an excellent product from Cooler Master, had some difficulties in fixing it on the motherboard but the performance is too good compared to the stock cooler fan. Very less noise and finally got rid of the terrible noise from old cooler fan. I would rate this product 5 out of 5.

Coach Hue Jackson understands that the margin for error is intolerable if the Oakland Raiders want to qualify into the playoffs. The Raiders are 7-6 before they host the Detroit Lions this weekend. Jackson knows that his offensive line is producing turbulent results. Only two players have shown stable form for the Raiders; namely quarterback Carson Palmer and running back Michael Bush.
In an interview after Wednesday's practice session Jackson told reporters that he had already conveyed the message to his squad and they were ready to fight tooth and nail for a spot in the playoffs. However, Jackson and Co. will have to bring their A-game to the green as the Lions are 9-4 after a solid win against the Minnesota Vikings. Jackson stated that the Raiders needed to concentrate on eliminating mistakes and bring their natural game play to the field.
"Absolutely. The margin for error is gone," Jackson declared. "There is no more. We've got to play Raider football the way we know how to play. I feel good today because I think our guys understand what's at hand. It's not like we don't, we do. It's sitting right out there all in front of us. We need to go play well here at home, we're not traveling anywhere; we're just traveling up the street into our stadium at the 'O' and get ready to play, and I think our guys will be ready to play."
Jackson further informed that his men were eager to face the Lions on Sunday. Jackson said that they were enthusiastic and energized to defeat them in order to book a place for the playoffs. Raiders were defeated in their last two games, which were against the Miami Dolphins and the Green Bay Packers. Jackson told reporters that although the defeats had given birth to disappointment in the camp, his men were ready for retribution.
"… It probably was different than it's been the last four or five weeks because again, these guys understand. I mean I know this football team and I know where they're head is and they understand what we need to do, and we'll come play. We'll play the way we're supposed to play."
Jackson certainly has the capability to lead the Raiders to a playoff finish and Raiders certainly have the talent pool to level up against top notch teams in the league. Therefore, what's left to be worried about is the desire for victory.

by Spokane Chiefs Media Relations
Things looked grim for the Spokane Chiefs on Wednesday night as the Vancouver Giants held a late two-goal, third-period lead at the Spokane Arena.
But that's exactly when the Chiefs came alive.
With 15:01 remaining, Mitch Holmberg's backhander found the back of the net after Mike Aviani collected his first assist of the night. It was closely followed by an unassisted slapshot from Jeremy McIntosh forcing overtime on the same night he was featured on the TicketsWest Player Magnet.
Then it was Tyler King's shot that ended up ricocheting off of Carter Proft's skate for the game-winner in the extra period. With 3:46 left in overtime, Keanu Yamamoto and Proft found King by himself in the left circle, which led to the Chiefs' 16th victory.
In the first period, Spokane jumped on the board with two power play goals. Both Aviani and Connor Chartier collected goals in the period which saw six total Vancouver penalties. Aviani now has 21 goals on the season, and Chartier has four. Holmberg added an assist to his goal; he now leads the WHL with 59 total points, nine points more than Portland's Nicolas Petan.
The Spokane Chiefs will host the Tri-City Americans this Saturday, November 23rd. The game begins at 7:05 at the Spokane Arena. Tickets for all Chiefs games are available via the Chiefs Ticket Office at (509) 535-PUCK, at all TicketsWest outlets and online at www.ticketswest.com.

John Carroll High School would like to thank the Diocese of Palm Beach and the John Carroll High School Education Foundation for their generosity, which will allow the school to become wireless.
JCHS is proud to be one of the first schools in the diocese to take advantage of a gift-matching program that was established for schools to upgrade wireless capabilities and is rapidly moving forward with this endeavor.
In August, Bishop Gerald Barbarito announced his diocese would be giving up to $500,000 to diocesan schools with the goal of making them competitive with the increasing technology needs of today's students.
Schools are encouraged to seek up to $30,000 in donations for technology from donors, which will then be matched by the diocese, during the school year.
John Carroll is extremely thankful for the support and generosity its education foundation, which presented the bishop with its letter of commitment on Thursday, Sept. 6.
John Carroll High School will use the funds to complete its work on becoming a wireless campus, allowing teachers and students to use iPads in the classroom as a teaching tool. A grass roots campaign to purchase iPads for teachers has developed into a morale-boosting endeavor, with a total of $8,700 donated by parents and community members in just two weeks to purchase 20 iPads.
In addition, the school is also moving rapidly toward the capability for students to use their own electronic devices in the classroom. Thanks to generous underwriting, the school will also offer a virtual enrichment component to the classes, using a specialized program as a platform to deliver content to students around the world.
One element of this initiative is partnering with VSCHOOLZ eLearning solutions. Working with VSCHOOLZ will also allow JCHS to offer more classes and opportunities for students, making learning fun and cutting edge.
Incorporating multiple publishers and partnerships with technology leaders means the school will be able to deliver a wide variety of digital courseware and resources to meet learner's needs.
In addition, John Carroll continues to pride itself on giving students the foundation of a Catholic-Christian character combined with a quality education by providing the tools necessary to become morally strong and successful in their collegiate years and beyond.
The school is more than a school. It is a family offering an atmosphere in which students receive individualized attention on a daily basis, inside and outside of the classroom.
Academically, John Carroll students' standardized test scores are higher than the average local, state and national results. Nearly every student attends college after graduation, with 60 percent of the 2012 graduates earning Bright Futures scholarships, which help pay for college tuition.
At JCHS, nearly every student participates in at least one of our 22 interscholastic sports or 23 extracurricular activities.
Numerous dual enrollment, Advanced Placement, honors and academic level classes are offered, and financial aid is also available for qualified families, including the Step Up For Students program.
John Carroll has students, both Catholic and non-Catholic, from Palm Beach, St. Lucie, Indian River, Martin and Okeechobee counties.
For more information, please visit www.JohnCarrollHigh.com, visit the school on Facebook or call (772) 464-5200.
If you would like to visit the campus, please join us for open house on Friday, Oct. 5 from 4-6 p.m. on campus. Tours will be offered to prospective students and their families, with free admission to a home football game and free tailgate party. Free tuition for next school year will be given to a lucky winner at halftime.
Jennifer Trefelner is accredited in public relations.

That's right - 24-year-old Armie Hammer played both Cameron and Tyler Winklevoss! Though many applauded his performance, twice the normal amount of acting was not enough to earn him a nomination for Best Supporting Actor last night at the Academy Awards. The Social Network did end up winning three Oscars - for adapted screenplay, editing, and best score. (Read more about The Social Network's awards.

What would Utopia look like?
What are some of the attributes required of a Utopian Society? Some say it cannot exist but I don't like that word, "can't", so please only answer with possibilities of achieving this, not the reasons why it can't.
Apr 3 2012: Perhaps I should have said time does not exist... No waiting, no boredom, no hunger, pain...
But then could we truly be happy if there was never anticipation or conflict to over come?....I don't know. It seems like we would also be missing out on things..But maybe that;s just me who has always existed with time as my enemy and friend. It's hard to comprehend.
Apr 3 2012: James, I think we can be truly happy without anticipation or conflict.
Just look at children....they are, in many cases, oblivious to anticipations and conflicts that we adults are aware of, and they are happy go lucky.
I think that having hard work to do into infinity.....and learning into infinity......with people who share common beliefs, lifeslyles, and an equal share in the community.......without an oppressive government, but one that readily provided what each citizen needed, would most certainly provide such a Utopia..
What needs to happen is wars need to cease, diseases need to be eradicated, hunger needs to vanish, as well as a whole new generation of individuals who want to come together for the common good of mankind.......not for the common good of their pocket, needs to rise up.
We have spoken many times on TED about all of this, but never using UTOPIA.
I cannot speak for everyone here on TED. But I really do try to point the way to Utopia....a better world.....throughout my community, and attempt to follow it up with kind acts, and try to take a personal interest in those I come in contact with. We, personally can do alot to be the change we want to see in others.
I think what holds the world from changing all together is....is.....well, it's like an invisible force that does not allow peace to reign.......everyone WANTS to have peace and happiness, but it just doesn't happen.......I don't know if you understand me.
Anyways, thanks for reading through my ramblings.........I've enjoyed following this thread of conversation.
Apr 3 2012: James !
Sir Thomas More coined the word 'Utopia' from two Greek words: 'ou' - not and 'topos' - place , ' Utopia ' means ' no place '.
So, Utopian Society has no place to exist by definition.
Nothing, that exists in time and occupies the place in space, is ideal / absolute/ perfect.
James, I like your idea, that the ideal is possible ( at least in theory ), when it is not in Time. And I think, it is not a place but state.
Mar 31 2012: I think it'd be a forever changing mystery to me. I'm not sure if there can really be a universal definition for a utopian society, as people have different ideas. However, as simple as I could get it, would be a place where everyone would be happy.
So as for how to achieve a place in which everyone is happy, we'd need to look at some issues which cause unhappiness. As you're well aware, there's a lot. People can be quite needy in their demands to remain happy. Others, not so much. So how do we satisfy those needs without neglecting those of others. What if they can't be satisfied? Can they be changed? Could they be excluded from a utopian society?
How can we ensure specific behaviours of people to ensure that no harm is caused to others? But here it seems to cross peoples freedoms. Can you be free if you're forced to be polite? Would this make you happy? Would this make it more of a dystopia that utopia. There's a very fine line here in which it is very important not to cross in my opinion. So again, more questions arise on how to create an atmosphere where people can not only live in happiness, but maintain it.
I'm not sure if this is really an answer to your question. As I myself have no clue as to how a utopia could be made. But I would personally think that if we take small baby steps into solving the problems, we might not create such a society, but it'll most likely be better than it was.
Glenn BarresApr 1 2012: Great answer and you went in the direction I was hoping someone would go. Part of what makes life worth living is the whole process of overcoming an obstacle, i.e. winning. In our current culture the biggest winners are those with the most money and because of this, "bank roll" has become a predominate attribute of what it means to thrive. Unfortunately this is a castle made of sand since money has no real value in the big picture and it very seldom leads to happiness, which to me is a key element in a Utopian society.
Even if you didn't have a solid answer you followed up with a string of questions, (and I assume you probably had many more you could put there), and that is also a key element to a Utopia; Keep Asking Questions. The Question is the key behind any form of advancement.
Apr 2 2012: Indeed, one of the good things about winning, or being a winner, is it doesn't have to be about money. I like to think that the competition, the race can be changed simply by moving the finish line. The key to winning could really be anything in my opinion.
I did have a lot more questions that could be asked in that situation. No doubt even if people answered them, more questions would be raised on those answers as well. It seems like an infinitely complex idea to me, the more you think about it, the harder it gets to visualise.

Apr 3 2012: Your Utopia would be considerably different than my Utopia. When Sir Thomas Moore first wrote about Utopia he declared it a impossibility to have a Utopian society. The closest I have personally view to be a ideal society is the Amish Mennonites. I contribute this to a society that shares common beliefs, lifestyles, and a bartering equal share community. I have read about lost tribes that have recently came to light that have no words for hate, war, etc .. and live in harmony with man and nature. The common factor in these societies is that the outside influence is small if not non-existant; and they all share common beliefs and lifestyles; they are interdependent; etc ... The Amish are the only true practicers of the Karl Marx Communism where all people share equally within their society. It would appear to be a "Utopian Society" isloation is a major factor. All the best. Bob
Indyspire 1Apr 6 2012: With respect, the Amish community are the complete opposite of Marxists. They believe that each person is an individual with individual gifts. They believe in living in a FREE society and being charitable and looking out for one another because that is right and good. They do not believe in "forced" sharing. Marxism contracts. Freedom and love expands.

Apr 2 2012: Well, in that case, yes of course, it describes people in the world today......I will quote the little mermaid......."gizmo's and gadgets galore....you want thing-a-ma-bobs, I've got twenty....."
Some Utopia!!............materialism
I find that to have Utopia in a society today, people themselves have to change.
I know people in a material Utopia.
I know people in a spiritual Utopia.
I know people in an emotional Utopia.
I know people in relationship Utopia.
I know people in an intellectual Utopia.
The right combination would be all of the above + no sickness or death....or any of the things that ail us and keep us from enjoying life.
We are all waiting to see what will mankind do next with all the information he has at his fingertips.........because truely, the knowledge is abundant.
We as the human family are able to do much good if we work together as one. But everyone's selfish desires and hidden agendas keep the majority from putting their trust in any single man or organization or for that matter any human government. We have learned from our past, to some extent.
Be Well.....thanks for the quote, I will add it to my list.....

Are You Getting Enough Vitamin D?
Many of us are short on Vitamin D, which has plenty of health benefits.
By Kathleen Zelman, MPH, RD/LD
Reviewed by Brunilda Nazario, MD
It has long been known as the vitamin that cured rickets. But today, vitamin D is being hailed for being able to do much more than that.
Scientists have known for some time about vitamin D's role in helping the body absorb calcium, in maintaining bone density, and in preventing osteoporosis. But new research suggests it may also help protect against chronic diseases such as cancer, type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, and autoimmune diseases.
Yet many adults have low blood levels of vitamin D. Vitamin D is not abundant in our usual food choices, so we get most of the vitamin from sun exposure and multivitamins. The problem is that the sun is not a reliable source for everyone.
The season, time of day, geography, latitude, level of air pollution, color of your skin, and your age all affect your skin's ability to produce vitamin D. Further, the form of Vitamin D found in most multivitamins is vitamin D2, which does not deliver the same amount of the vitamin to the body as the more desirable D3 form.
Deficient in D?
Vitamin D is the only vitamin that is also a hormone. After Vitamin D is made by the skin or eaten, the kidney and liver help to convert it into an active hormone form. As a hormone, it controls calcium absorption to help the body build strong bones and teeth, and it helps maintain muscle strength. When you are deficient in calcium and vitamin D, your bones break down to supply calcium to the rest of your body. But being deficient in vitamin D can take a toll on more than just your skeleton.
"There have been concerns about vitamin D status in the U.S. because of increasing reports of deficiencies, with an estimated 10 million Americans over age 50 diagnosed with osteoporosis," says Atlanta-based rheumatologist Eduardo Baetti, MD.
"Vitamin D deficiency is associated with low bone mass and osteoporosis because vitamin D is needed to absorb calcium from the diet. Low levels of vitamin D have also been linked with poor muscle strength and other chronic conditions, such as autoimmune disease and some forms of cancer."
The Sunshine Vitamin
D is also the only vitamin that does not need to be consumed in food or supplements because our bodies are efficient at making it when our skin is exposed to direct sunlight (not through a window). But not all sun exposure is the same, and many factors help determine how much we absorb. In general, the further away you are from the equator, the more efficient the vitamin D production, but cloud cover and air pollution can hinder the sun's ultraviolet (UV) rays.
Many people living in the Southern United States can get enough vitamin D by getting about 10-15 minutes of sun exposure on their arms and face a few times a week -- as long as they don't use sunscreen, which blocks some of the UV rays necessary to make the vitamin.
Along with geography, age and skin pigmentation are also factors.
Even in Atlanta, where the sunshine is adequate all year long, Baetti says, many of his patients -- especially elderly and dark-skinned people -- have low levels of vitamin D.
Dark pigment in the skin reduces the skin's ability to synthesize vitamin D from sunlight by 95%.
"Darker skinned people need 5-10 times as much exposure to synthesize the same amount of vitamin D as lighter skinned people," says vitamin D expert Michael Holick, PhD, MD.
But what about the dangers of sun exposure, which dermatologists often warn us about?
"Sensible sun exposure to arms and legs for short periods of time will not increase the risk of serious skin cancer such as melanoma," Holick says.
How Much Do We Need?
The current recommended intake of vitamin D is 200 IUs (international units) for those up to age 50; 400 IUs for people 51-70; and 600 IUs for those older than 70. Requirements increase with age because older skin produces less vitamin D.
But these recommendations date back to 1997. "Additional studies have been published since that time documenting the effectiveness of higher levels of vitamin D," says Holick, who was a member of the Institute of Medicine (IOM) committee that issued the recommendations.

Red band trailer for Dead Snow: Red vs. Dead.
If the worst day of your life consisted of accidentally killing your girlfriend with an axe, chain-sawing your own arm off, and watching in horror as your closest friends were devoured by a zombified Nazi battalion, you'd have to assume that things couldn't get much worse. In Martin's case, that was only the beginning.

So this was a few weeks ago, but I thought I would post some notes here anyway.
Bevan gave a talk at the Wellington .NET User Group titled "Towards Supportability" (view his slides and notes).
Apart from marvelling at his good looking slides, the main thing I took away from his talk was the points he made on documentation. Bevan gave an approach for document systems for the person fighting the fire when all hell breaks loose. When a system is broken, and people are all over the poor systems administrator to fix it, they don't need thick architecture documents, they need something quick and actionable.
The 'Supportability' document structure:
The most important parts are the symptoms and actions - how to diagnose what's wrong and how to recover from it.
Cheers Bevan!
The opinions expressed herein are my own personal opinions and do not represent

This conversation is closed.
By limiting or stopping the transportation routes, will this only cause drug cartels to adapt? Will they continue to push through harder?
1. Is there a way to stop the cartels distribution and transportation routes?
2. If we do stop the distribution routes, what will this achieve?
3. By doing this, will it cause the cartels to innovate different modes of transportation or will it cause the cartels to push the distribution routes through harder and bloodier with more innocent lives lost?
The answers I would like to see would include how we could close down their routes and the domino effect that would cause.
Showing single comment thread. View the full conversation.
Nov 18 2013: To clarify, the drug cartels have designated ways to transport their drugs through Mexico up to the United States. The "route" is a complex interlinked highway of individuals, paid off government officials, and a preferred mode of transportation in order to get the drugs to their target users in the United States. The drug cartels need to keep these routes open in order to keep the production line and business profits moving forward.
Nov 18 2013: This question was brought forward after watching http://www.ted.com/talks/rodrigo_canales_the_deadly_genius_of_drug_cartels.html
After watching this, it brought forward the question above as the video was very insightful in the fact that drug cartels are genius business models as I didn't really think of this like this.

Pizzeria Aumm Aumm (Restaurants) Anacapri
Via Caprile, 18 - Anacapri Tel. +39 081 8373000
Yummy scrummy Anacapri!
If your mother wouldn't have made it, we won't serve it! A promise made to customers and written on the menus at Aumm Aumm, the pizzeria where the locals of Anacapri come to eat and meet.
Pizza, pasta and more...
Danilo and Bea, the friendly young couple who run the restaurant, will be pleased to assist you in your choice of pizza (there are more than 30 types!). As well as pizza, cooked in the traditional wood burning oven, Aumm Aumm serves a selection of delicious pasta dishes, hamburgers salads and desserts too.
All dishes are made with fresh ingredients and that means no preservatives and nothing frozen
Open until late, all year round
The great food served here is not the only reason why Aumm Aumm is Anacapri's favorite pizzeria: it's also one of the very few restaurants on the island of Capri to stay open all year, and until late - even in the winter!
Football crazy?
One thing you might like to bear in mind: during the football season, the pizzeria shows matches on its mega-screen and, if you want to eat when Naples is playing, you'll need to book a table well in advance!

Pittsburgh Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert was asked Thursday about the pending situation with linebacker James Harrison while in Indianapolis at the NFL scouting combine.

"Whether a player is part of your future or not, that's not going to take away from what he accomplished, said Colbert, via the report.

text: SHEBOYGAN, WI (WHBL) - The Sheboygan City Council Monday night rejected an effort to have a four-way stop installed at North 14th and Michigan Avenue. Alderman Scott Lewendoske had made the request, citing the number of accidents that have occurred there - including one last Friday. He said there have been 10 accidents at that intersection since April. But Dave Biebel, Director of Public Works, said there's a reason for that. He said detours and road construction have resulted in increased traffic and congestion in that area. He said any changes would have to involve the state, since 14th Street is a state highway. He said the state would require a traffic study, but at a time when traffic was back to normal.

NBA PLAYOFFS - First Round Preview (2) Oklahoma City Thunder vs. (7) Dallas Mavericks Led by the duo of Russell Westbrook and Kevin Durant, possibly the two best players at their positions in the world, the Oklahoma City Thunder are looking for an NBA title and nothing less. They secured the No. 2 seed in the playoffs and a first round match up with the defending champion Mavericks and Dallas will need to show the same tenacity it did in 2011 if they want to make it past OKC.
Durant won his third scoring title in 2012, and has continued to be relentless in the playoffs in recent years. The former Longhorn will be a top-3 choice for MVP this season thanks in part to the great surrounding cast around him. Westbrooke, James Harden and Serge Ibaka will all be key figures for the Thunder as they try to march right through the Mavericks. Dallas remains relatively unchanged from their squad that won the title last year, but age is looking to creep up to them. Dirk Nowitazki, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry are all over 33 years old and this could be this group's last chance at another title.
Oklahoma City won three of four from Dallas in the regular season and hope to continue the success as young battle the old in the face off of teams only 200 miles apart.
Dallas Mavericks 2012 NBA Preview: It was an exciting year in Big D in 2010-11 as the Mavericks quelled the suffering of its fantastic fanbase by winning the first title in team history. Dirk Nowitzki played like a madman down the stretch, and along with the now-departed Tyson Chandler (New York Knicks) and Jason Kidd, the team created a winning atmosphere (and stronger defense) that helped them topple the Heat in seven games. While they lost Chandler, however, their up-tempo game should remain the same (they ranked second in the league in assists last year) with the signings of Vince Carter and LaMarch Odom. It will be interesting to see how these two high-profile pieces will fit into a balanced team that worked so well last season.
2010-2011 Dallas Mavericks NBA Preview: The Dallas Mavericks had an oustanding regular season last year, cruising to a 55-27 record, but were ousted in the first round of the playoffs by the San Antonio Spurs. Coach Rick Carlisle has many of the same players returning this year and the Mavs are poised to have another successful campaign, but whether or not they advance to the NBA Finals for the first time since 2006 is up in the air.
For much of the last decade, the Mavericks offense has been centered around Dirk Nowitzki, who led the team with 25 points per game last season, and fans can expect much of the same from the 7-footer this year. Joining Nowitzki will be veteran point guard Jason Kidd, who will be back for his 17th NBA season. Last year, Kidd averaged an impressive 9.1 assists per game, while dropping 10.3 points a contest.
Dallas is also stacked with a number of talented scorers including Caron Butler, Jason Terry and Tyson Chandler. In addition, they made some smart offseason moves by adding Brendan Haywood as well. Many of their scorers are also very solid defenders, and the Mavericks should be one of the better teams in the Western Conference again.
2009-2010 Dallas Mavericks NBA Preview: The Dallas Mavericks head into the 2009-2010 NBA season looking to improve upon their 6th place finish in the Western Conference last season. Mavs Head Coach Rick Carlisle fields a solid Dallas roster that includes all-stars Dirk Nowitzki, Shawn Marion, Jason Kidd and Jason Terry. Look for the Mavericks to get up and down the floor quickly with that talented lineup. The 2010 NBA All-Star Game is coming to Dallas (new Cowboys Stadium), which will perhaps provide some hometown motivation for the Mavs to step up their game to the next level. If Dallas does, then the Mavericks could be in position to once again make the NBA Finals.
2008-2009 Dallas Mavericks NBA Preview: The Dallas Mavericks are one of the premiere teams in the NBA. Mavs owner, Mark Cuban, makes sure that the team is always stacked with talent and that the American Airlines Center is one of the best places in the NBA to see a pro game. The Mavericks have a roster full of star players, and are led by NBA superstar Dirk Nowitzki. The Mavs traditionally play an upbeat style of basketball and score a lot of points. Their fun style of play, along with their talented roster and zany owner make them one of the top drawing teams in the NBA. Whether they are playing at home, or on the road, a lot of fans always turn out to see the Mavericks play.
Thank you for the great seats for the Kentucky Derby. My family had the time of their lives!Kevin - Quebec, Canada

Profiles in Success
Many of our students go on to highly successful careers in accounting. They can be found in a broad variety of fields, from entertainment to technology and from government to education. We are most proud of our alumni. Check back frequently to learn more about them and all that they do. Their success is the greatest testament to the value of earning your accounting degree at LIU Brooklyn.
Class of 1968 B.S. in Accounting Managing Director, Morgan Stanley-Prime Brokerage
The son of a seltzer distributor, Joel Press enrolled at LIU Brooklyn as a pre-med major. Joel found pre-med more difficult than he had expected and he struggled to keep his grades up. Several conversations with his parents and administrators later, he changed his major to accounting. The rest is history. He thrived in the program, graduating second in his class. His highly successful career in finance has included senior management positions at Festina Lente Investment Management, LP; Ernst & Young's Global Hedge Fund Practice; and Spicer & Oppenheim. Today, he is a managing director at Morgan Stanley-Prime Brokerage. In 2007, he was appointed to serve as chancellor of LIU Brooklyn, a responsibility he has undertaken with great enthusiasm. "LIU Brooklyn gave me a second chance and it paid off. Its mission of providing access to higher education for people from all walks of life is one that I hold close to my heart. Earning my degree served as a springboard to success. I was able to take what I learned in the classroom and to apply it throughout my career. My education helped me to establish a solid foundation in business, one that I have been able to build upon over the years. As chancellor, I will dedicate myself to ensuring that LIU Brooklyn students have that same opportunity."
Class of 1981 B.S. in Accounting Founder and President, Pro Advantage Executive Search
Sandra Albo, CPA, President of Pro Advantage Executive Search and former "Big 8" accountant, has been working in the financial services recruiting industry for over 18 years. As a graduate of LIU Brooklyn, with a B.S. in Accounting, Sandra started her career as an auditor for Ernst & Whinney, now Ernst & Young.
Sandra later moved to Paramount Pictures where she was a manager of financial reporting. She brings her extensive networking contacts from major financial firms to the table. Since Pro Advantage Executive Search has emerged in Midtown Manhattan, it has catered to a variety of divisions within the financial services industry. Its clientele includes some of the major investment banks, brokerage firms and insurance companies.
Sandra takes pride in the contacts that she formed through her years as an executive recruiter. She has become a leader in the search profession, given her ability to start up two successful companies. Sandra founded Pro Advantage after she left G.A.C. Associates in 1997, where she was a partner and co-founder. She is a true generalist in terms of her ability to identify, recruit and procure senior-level executives across a very broad range of industries. Sandra has a real passion for the search profession. She is affiliated with the New York State Society of CPA's (NYSSCPA), as well as the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (AICPA).
Class of 1960 B.S. in Accounting Retired, Part Owner, C.F.O., C.O.O., Manchester Technologies, Inc.
Born and raised in the East New York section of Brooklyn, Michael Bivona dropped out of school at the age of 16 and joined the United States Air Force in 1952. He obtained his G.E.D. and served as a communications specialist in Japan before completing his service in 1956. Once home, Michael excelled personally and professionally, immersing himself in accounting studies at LIU Brooklyn.

911 calls were rerouted to the Miami-Dade communications center and then relayed back to the department's mobile command center while the floor was evacuated.
By DAVID SMILEYThe Miami Herald MIAMI, Fla. — Emergency dispatchers at the Miami Police and Fire Headquarters were evacuated Sunday morning and 911 calls had to be rerouted for an hour after something tripped the emergency call center's fire alarm system.According to fire rescue spokesman Ignatius Carroll, operators on the fourth floor of the building, 400 NW Second Ave., say they heard a buzzing sound followed by a boom and then halon, a powdery fire retardant, began to spray throughout the floor.
The 24 dispatchers working on the floor were evacuated and five were transported to local hospitals for evaluation after complaining of shortness of breath, Carroll said.

Eggs and Morels Baked In Cream
You can substitute eight dried morels for the fresh: Cover with hot water in a medium bowl, keep them submerged. Let the mushrooms stand until soft, about 20 minutes, then lift them out of the water.
Get MoreSubscribe to Martha Stewart Living
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter, plus more for dishes
- 1 small shallot, finely chopped
- 8 fresh morel mushrooms, (about 1 cup), halved lengthwise
- Coarse salt
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 large eggs
- Freshly ground pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh chives
- Crusty bread, for serving
Step 1
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Add shallot. Cook, stirring constantly, until shallot has softened, about 2 minutes. Add mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until mushrooms have softened, about 5 minutes. Add cream; bring to a simmer. Immediately remove from heat, and let mushroom mixture cool 5 minutes.
Step 2
Butter four 6-inch shallow baking dishes (such as gratin dishes). Place dishes on a rimmed baking sheet. Crack 1 egg into each baking dish, keeping yolks intact, and season with salt and pepper. Pour the mushroom-cream mixture into dishes, dividing evenly, and sprinkle with chives. Bake on baking sheet until the egg whites are just set, 9 to 12 minutes. Serve with bread, for dipping.

What Matters Most
Collaboration Trumps Conflict
NY Times, January 23, 2011
Sometimes it seems as though public education has become a contact sport, with proponents of a take-no-prisoners style of "education reform" duking it out on talk shows and ever-present on the conference circuit.
That might make great headlines, but it doesn't improve schools or help kids. Under the radar screen, I see a far more productive trend under way.
Last fall, the AFT sponsored the first national collaborative school improvement conference. The response was overwhelming—school administrators and their teachers union counterparts from dozens of school districts from across the country formed teams and participated. The teams worked together to develop plans to make needed changes in their districts. They heard from representatives from districts with long-standing partnerships about successes stemming from their joint efforts.
This past week, the Hillsborough County (Fla.) Public Schools sponsored a similar conference for Florida districts, and next month, 150 teams from around the country will attend a federally sponsored conference with a similar focus hosted by the U.S. Department of Education in partnership with a number of education organizations, including the AFT. In order for a team to attend the conference, the district's school board president, superintendent and teachers union leader must all agree to participate.
This is a welcome and promising shift. It is increasingly clear that combative, autocratic education "leadership" doesn't work. Before anyone rushes to make collaboration the next silver bullet, it is crucial to note that this approach in and of itself does not create meaningful systemic change. Even with effective collaboration, which requires hard work, there also must be an instructional plan. When those two crucial pieces are in place, there is a growing body of evidence attesting to the power of collaboration to bring about significant educational improvements.
While education programs and policies vary by location, the common thread running through successful districts is their focus on solving problems, not winning arguments, as these examples show:
- The superintendent and teachers union in Lowell, Mass., together have secured resources that students and teachers need to succeed, such as math and reading coaches, and data to help effectively focus instruction. This partnership has led to consistent improvement in student achievement as well as a substantial narrowing of achievement gaps among students.
- The ABC Unified School District in Los Angeles County, a longtime leader in collaborative school improvement, has jointly focused on areas ranging from curriculum to professional development. Over the last decade, state student achievement scores in this economically and ethnically diverse district rose an average of 11 percent per year. The district also has made tremendous progress in closing the gap between high-achieving schools and what once were low-achieving schools.
- In Georgetown, Ohio, in the middle of Appalachia, the union and the district have joined forces to transform rural education and improve student outcomes. In addition, the Ohio Appalachian Collaborative (bringing together the education organization Battelle for Kids and the area's teachers unions and school districts) was a key to Ohio's success in landing Race to the Top funds.
No one is suggesting that we will eliminate conflict from important public pursuits, or stop fighting for our principles. But unproductive conflict only undermines confidence in public education. Collaboration fosters the conditions for transformative change; it creates trust and allows for risk-taking. And increasingly, the people entrusted with our children's education are showing that we can act with urgency without abandoning decency.
The recent tragedy in Tucson, Ariz., has led to renewed calls for civility and for people to work together on issues that unite communities—and even on those that divide us. Public education is a public trust, an economic imperative and our nation's great equalizer; working together should be our standard operating principle. And as an added benefit, collaboration is essential to helping students achieve.

True Blake may be a backup..but he could still run our offense, especially the pick and pop with LaMarcus..who has missed him since he was traded..I haven't looked at numbers, but I'd be willing to bet L.A.'s Fg % is probably down, due to the fact Miller just doesn't run that particular facet of the offense as well..Blake always put team first, and I hope we can get him back next year..I'd still take him over Bayless, at this point in Bayless' career. Go Blazers!!

For insurance, ( injuries happen) Steve Blake is a great player to have on the bench without a huge contract.
Throw in Roys comfort, and the team signing blake jr, I would have liked Stevie to stay.

by Alexis BennettThe American Quarter Horse Journal
Kayotic and Morgan Brehm
Morgan Brehm of Lincoln, Nebraska, has entered the amateur show scene with a bang. On November 15, she won her first amateur world championship title in just her second year out of youth competition with her yearling colt, Kayotic.
This is the first time Morgan has taken on the project of showing a stallion, and she enjoys it.
"I've been showing halter my whole life, and when I turned amateur, I wanted to get a stallion," Morgan said, and with a laugh added, "You always want what you can't have."
AQHA rules prohibit youth competitors from showing stallions for safety reasons.
Behavior is not an issue with the sorrel colt by Fearles and out of My Sweet Innocence by Coolest. Morgan barely had to fuss with him throughout the class.
"He's really easy," Morgan said. "We make sure that he gets worked down, of course, so he's not full of energy when we go in there. But he's pretty good, and pretty laid back for a halter horse."
He has had a lot of success with both Morgan and her mom, Debby Brehm, this season.
"My mom has been showing him at the futurities all year and doing really well with him. We took him to (the All American Quarter Horse) Congress. He won Congress and got reserve grand champion stallion. We took him here and we just won. He's really easy to show. He puts his ears forward. He knows his job."
He was bred by Lonn and Kathy Smallwood, and AQHA Professional Horseman Denny Hassett helped the Brehms find him.
"I think we're going to continue to show him all of his 2-year-old year," Morgan said "We'll see how he comes on through that."
Morgan and her mom also enjoy showing pleasure horses. Morgan showed this year in horsemanship on her gelding, Hez All That.
When she isn't showing with her mom and their American Quarter Horses, she is busy as a student at the University of Nebraska.
"I'm studying geology right now," Morgan said. "I'm not sure (what I'm going to do yet), but I think it's really interesting."
She plans to keep up with horse showing while in school. As she said with a laugh, she "has the horse showing bug."
Kayotic will be gunning for another world championship title next week as an open competitor with AQHA Professional Horseman Ross Roark of Monahans, Texas, leading him.
"I have to go back to school," Morgan said. "But, my mom will be here to watch."

ABRAHAM for the Bailey family — SC
This little sweetheart is "Abraham" and he is one of God's masterpieces! He has spent his whole life in an orphanage in Eastern Europe, waiting for his family. Tragically, children with special needs in Eastern Europe can be transferred to an adult mental institution at an early age, so "Abraham" really needs a family who will love him, care for him, and be blessed by him.
The Baileys were joined in Holy Matrimony in 2003, and welcomed their first two biological children in 2004 and 2007. Then, in 2009, right around the time that "Abraham" was born halfway around the world, the Baileys felt God calling them to expand their family through adoption. They had just welcomed their third biological child and due to other circumstances at the time, they could not actively pursue adoption. They prayed to discern the "when" of God's call to adopt and eagerly awaited the day that they would be able to take more active steps to expand their family through adoption. The family was blessed with the arrival of their fourth biological child in 2012, and after much prayerful discernment (and more than one push of divine providence), the Baileys were able to start the process to adopt "Abraham" in June 2013. They feel immensely blessed and humbled to have been chosen by God to be "Abraham's" family and cannot wait to hold their precious boy in their arms.
The Baileys can't adequately express how much they appreciate any prayers for "Abraham" as he waits in the orphanage, and for their adoption process to go smoothly. And can you spare a donation of even a few dollars to help make this family's dream a reality and give this little boy a chance to know the love of a Daddy, Mommy, brothers, and a sister? Each and every donation, no matter the size, is greatly appreciated!
"And anyone who welcomes a little child like this on my behalf is welcoming me." ~Matthew 18:5

Wednesday October 20, 2010
With the powerful punch of a bulldozer, Mayor Jerry Abramson and library officials today broke ground on Louisville's newest library in Fairdale in Southwest Louisville.
The $2 million, technology-packed center will replace an old, cramped library branch and more than double its current size.
Councilwoman Vicki Aubrey Welch and Library Director Craig Buthod joined Abramson for the formal groundbreaking, which began with demolition of a building on a site near the existing branch to make way for the new facility on Manslick Road.
"A library is much, much more than a building with books," Abramson said. "It's a portal to possibilities for our citizens that will pay dividends for many years to come."
The new Fairdale Library is the latest in more than $17 million in capital improvements in the Louisville Free Public Library system in the past few years. Other projects include a library branch in Newburg, an expanded branch in the Shawnee neighborhood and the remodeling of the Main Library downtown following last year's flood.
The new Fairdale Library is located at 10620 W. Manslick Road, which is a city-owned site just northeast of the current branch library now shoe-horned into borrowed space in a community center.
The new library will be approximately 7,000 square feet, compared to the former branch's 3,312 square feet. The project is scheduled for completion in summer 2011.
The library design phase included considerable input from the community and it borrows components from the recently completed and successful Newburg Library. Like Newburg, the new Fairdale Library makes extensive use of technology, including a significant number of new public computers. It also takes advantage of an open floor layout that has worked very well in Newburg.
"This is truly a neighborhood library as evidenced by a large children's section, which we anticipate will be heavily used by pre-school children and students at the elementary school next door," Buthod said. In addition, space for teen computers and homework assistance will fulfill a community need for constructive activities after school.
The Fairdale Library is also a green building project, Abramson said. "From the recycling of materials in the demolition of this site to the design and materials for the new building, we are thinking about the environment," he said. "Just as we did with the Newburg Library, this branch is built to save energy and operating costs."

SPOREs: A Force in Translational Research
One of the central components of NCI's efforts to move new interventions to patients more quickly is the Specialized Programs of Research Excellence (SPOREs). The SPOREs program is a true success story. When the program was launched in 1992, there were 8 SPOREs for 3 cancer sites; there are now 61 SPOREs for 14 cancer sites. In 1995, there were 3 SPORE-operated clinical trials; in 2004, there are 120.
The 12th SPOREs Investigators' Workshop closed today in Baltimore; it demonstrated that SPOREs have become models of collaboration. Nearly every SPORE is part of an inter-SPORE network that is jointly conducting research and clinical trials. The six lung cancer SPOREs, working with some industry groups, for example, are conducting trials investigating EFGR inhibitors and novel Hedgehog pathway inhibitors. The 10 breast cancer SPOREs are working with the American College of Radiology Imaging Network and the Cancer and Leukemia Group B on a phase III, multicenter breast cancer therapy trial using advanced technologies like MRI and genomic and proteomic analyses to develop molecular characterizations of breast cancer tumors and measure tumor response to neoadjuvant therapy.
The SPOREs program also recently completed work on another groundbreaking activity. Two SPORE-member workgroups reviewed the research pipeline for two fertile areas of translational research: molecular targets and biomarkers. This review allowed NCI leaders to assess the status of the research in these two areas and will help us identify the best opportunities for advancing the most promising biomarkers and molecular targets.In another sign of SPOREs' impressive evolution, 70 patient advocates attended this year's workshop as part of an innovative SPOREs initiative, the Patient Advocate/Research Team (PART) program, which has helped build a bridge between SPOREs researchers and patients. In many cases, PART participants go well beyond the traditional patient advocacy role, involving themselves in SPOREs' operational aspects by reviewing small seed grants that SPOREs may wish to fund or facilitating discussions between SPOREs and national organizations or industry on possible collaborations.
"The SPOREs' principal investigators are serious about bringing advocates into the program," says Jim Williams, a 13-year prostate cancer survivor, board member of the Intercultural Cancer Council, and a member of the PART at the Baylor University prostate cancer SPORE. "We can really bring the patient's viewpoint to the trials." Advocates like Jim are to be commended for their commitment to improving cancer care for all patients.
I also came away from the SPOREs workshop with an important reaffirmation of one of my most sincere beliefs: The intellectual capital of the research force we have assembled is unsurpassed in the history of cancer research. There are, of course, still challenges that must be addressed, from intellectual property to regulatory issues. But these are surmountable challenges that we are working to address. In the end, though, with programs like SPOREs, it is clear to me that we are on an ideal trajectory for success, allowing for exponential progress during a time of great promise and hope.
