Learn more. TheStreetRatings.com Analysis: TheStreet Quant Ratings rates Advanced Micro Devices as a sell. Among the areas we feel are negative, one of the most important has been very high debt management risk by most measures. Highlights from the ratings report include:
- The debt-to-equity ratio is very high at 3.78 and currently higher than the industry average, implying increased risk associated with the management of debt levels within the company. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio is weak, AMD's quick ratio is somewhat strong at 1.19, demonstrating the ability to handle short-term liquidity needs.
- The company's current return on equity greatly increased when compared to its ROE from the same quarter one year prior. This is a signal of significant strength within the corporation. Compared to other companies in the Semiconductors & Semiconductor Equipment industry and the overall market, ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES's return on equity significantly trails that of both the industry average and the S&P 500.
- 37.95% is the gross profit margin for ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES which we consider to be strong. Regardless of AMD's high profit margin, it has managed to decrease from the same period last year. Despite the mixed results of the gross profit margin, AMD's net profit margin of 5.60% is significantly lower than the industry average.
- Net operating cash flow has significantly increased by 107.34% to $21.00 million when compared to the same quarter last year. In addition, ADVANCED MICRO DEVICES has also vastly surpassed the industry average cash flow growth rate of -9.58%.
- This stock has increased by 53.49% over the past year, outperforming the rise in the S&P 500 Index during the same period. Regarding the future course of this stock, we feel that the risks involved in investing in AMD do not compensate for any future upside potential, despite the fact that it has seen nice gains over the past 12 months.

FAIRBANKS, AK -- Teil Diaz remains in critical condition and on life support in an Anchorage hospital after she was shot in the head Monday afternoon in West Fairbanks.
Meanwhile, family members of 18 year old Teil Diaz are voicing concerns that the incident was no accident as has been stated by investigators with the Alaska State Troopers.
Diaz is being treated at Alaska Native Medical Center.
Troopers say the incident reportedly occurred at a condominium on Fairbanks Street, and three other individuals were present when the shooting occurred.
Darlene Herbert, the young woman's aunt, spoke via telephone with Newscenter11 about Diaz's condition. "She's not in stable condition, she's still in critical condition and we're just going day by day," said Herbert. "They "paralyzed" her body because she was having too many tremors. Pinched her arm also, and there was reflex action, so that's a good sign."
But Herbert says she is concerned with the preliminary investigation by State Troopers, and their classifying the incident as "accidental in nature."
"This was no accident," said Herbert.
An investigation into the shooting continues. No arrests have been made at this time.
A fund has been set up in the name of Teil Diaz, according to family members. Those wishing to donate case do so at any Alaska USA Federal Credit Union branch under the name "Teil Diaz."

Google Search Reveals Credit-Card Numbers
Source: NewsFactor
Although the headline of this story mentions only Google containing this type of info in their database, the article does mention (in the third section) that these numbers can be found in other web engines. Kudos to the authors. I'm happy to see this because other articles haven't. This News.com article on stolen credit card info in Google is an example.
On a related note, a News.com article from about six weeks ago discusses data from Moveon.org "leaking" by accident into Google. No other engines are mentioned. However, as I pointed out on my ResourceShelf.com site that the data was accessible from other engines. Eric Baillargeon also did some checking and offers his thoughts on the topic. Yes, of course, Google is the leading engine but the media would do a better job by reminding people that just checking for personal info on Google doesn't mean that it's not accessible elsewhere.
Btw, I'm also glad to see that the NewsFactor article correctly points out that Google and any other web engine is not at fault for including this type of info in their database is wrong. Site owners and webmasters need to understand how engines work and that keeping material out of large web databases needs to be their job.

Just saw this guy in the documentary film A Beautiful Truth reiterating his points. I hope my fillings aren't the ones with Mercury! They were 800 bucks and I'm too damn poor to get them out. Might have ta get drunk and bust'em out myself. No, I wish I was that badass. Anyway, I'm going vegan. F some MSG, aspartame, flouride, and mercury. I used to be smarter and quicker!

Crystal structure of Human Liver Carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1) in covalent complex with the nerve agent Tabun (GA)
The organophosphorus nerve agents sarin, soman, tabun, and VX exert their toxic effects by inhibiting the action of human acetylcholinesterase, a member of the serine hydrolase superfamily of enzymes. The current treatments for nerve agent exposure must be administered quickly to be effective, and they often do not eliminate long-term toxic side effects associated with organophosphate poisoning. Thus, there is significant need for effective prophylactic methods to protect at-risk personnel from nerve agent exposure, and protein-based approaches have emerged as promising candidates. We present the 2.7 A resolution crystal structures of the serine hydrolase human carboxylesterase 1 (hCE1), a broad-spectrum drug metabolism enzyme, in covalent acyl-enzyme intermediate complexes with the chemical weapons soman and tabun. The structures reveal that hCE1 binds stereoselectively to these nerve agents; for example, hCE1 appears to react preferentially with the 10(4)-fold more lethal PS stereoisomer of soman relative to the PR form. In addition, structural features of the hCE1 active site indicate that the enzyme may be resistant to dead-end organophosphate aging reactions that permanently inactivate other serine hydrolases. Taken together, these data provide important structural details toward the goal of engineering hCE1 into an organophosphate hydrolase and protein-based therapeutic for nerve agent exposure.

That was true in 2009, when the issues in the governor's races in New Jersey and Virginia were congruent with the issues facing Congress and the president. In both states the Republicans campaigned for lower spending and taxes, in contrast to the Obama Democrats' policies. Heavily Democratic...

Young House Love
Yes, its true, the internationally famous DIY bloggers – John and Sherry Petersik of Young House Love are slated to be at the 2013 Tacoma Home & Garden Show! John and Sherry are 30 and their house is 50 and it's practically old enough to be their mom, but they treat it like it's their baby. They are not experts, just DIY dorks who like learning as they go and sharing their adventures and misadventures with the world. That's right, they're bona fide full time bloggers as well as stay at home parents who are raising a one year old while juggling DIY projects, post-writing, book-writing, and lots of other bloggy goodness. Their appearance at the Home and Garden Show will include talking to exhibitors about products, ideas and what's new to help with their DIY tasks. They will also be doing a presentation at 1pm on Friday followed by a book signing. You can follow them at www.YoungHouseLove.com.
John and Sherry will be doing a special talk at 1pm on Friday, January 25th. It will be followed by a Q & A session and book signing. Please note, admission into the show costs $10. Save $2 on admission by clicking here and downloading our coupon. If you haven't yet picked up their New York Times Bestseller, you can purchase it at the show.
We will have seating for over 300 people. Seating is on first come, first serve basis and no seats can be reserved. A show map will be posted that will show the stage location within the show. Their new book will be available for purchase at the event.
In case you have never been to this show, the Tacoma Dome has thousands of parking spots located just across the street from the main entrance into the show. Just like all venues, parking is $10, so carpooling with friends is a great idea. If you don't mind a short walk, free parking can be found within a few blocks of the dome.
Please follow us at facebook.com/tacomahomeandgardenshow
and @otshows for the latest information.
John and Sherry will share some tips and advice on Do-It-Yourself projects that came out of their own home renovations, mistakes and all. Armed with a little bit of know-how and a lot of enthusiasm, they put their creative, common-sense spin on how to make the most of home projects of all sizes.
With millions of unique visitors, the "Young House Love" grew from a little blog created to track the progress of the Petersik's kitchen remodel for friends and family. After nearly five years of putting daily (and twice-daily) posts out there, it grew from a passion and a hobby into an actual job.
Their widely read blog shares with their readers some of the "home-wisdom" learned along the way. Some of the most popular projects include such making no-sew curtains, painting kitchen cabinets and refinishing furniture. Other quick tips for the allusion of space and drama include painting a brick fireplace, going bold with built-ins and even raising the shower curtain height.
About Young House Love:
John & Sherry Petersik met working together in New York City but quickly ditched the urban jungle for the slower pace, sweeter tea, and cheaper real estate of Richmond, Virginia. They soon found themselves purchasing a fixer upper in the suburbs, getting married in the backyard, and starting a blog about their DIY home renovations. That blog, Young House Love, has since become both of their full time jobs and has earned them international recognition, including features on HGTV, CNN, and The Nate Berkus Show. They're now transforming their second home, raising their one-year-old daughter Clara, and keeping their chihuahua Hamburger out of trouble – all while writing their first book, which was released this past fall.

For an older unit, the condo is in good condition and well stocked. It met our needs for our short stay. The one thing that needs immediate attention is the carpeting. It is worn and dirty, probably beyond just needing to be cleaned. Some fresh paint and new flooring would really spruce up this condo. A word of warning.....there are many steps.
We stayed with our 3 boys to enjoy both the lovely beach and charming town of Grand Haven and visit Michigan's Adventure. The condo is stunning, clean and in an excellent locale. We will most definitely return.

It didn't UFC middleweight Michael "The Count" Bisping long to respond to Luke Rockhold's challenge via Twitter on Tuesday.
It took 45 minutes to be exact.
Rockhold took to Twitter and challenged Bisping to a fight early Tuesday afternoon.
"@bisping u dont have opponent, I dont have opponent, u talk (expletive) about 'practice' i say we set the record straight once & for all @danawhite," read Rockhold's tweet.
The "practice" Rockhold references was a 2012 sparring session between the two while Rockhold was the Strikeforce middleweight champion.
In an interview during a November 2012 episode of MMA Uncensored, Bisping alleged the sparring session didn't go well for Rockhold.
More MMA
"Let me put it like this: I've sparred with Luke Rockhold recently and let's just say I'm the unofficial Strikeforce champion. Sorry Luke, but these are the facts," said Bisping.
Rockhold made his UFC debut on May 18 at UFC on FX 8 in Jaragua do Sul, Brazil. He was knocked out by Vitor Belfort in the first round of the main event by a spinning heel kick followed by punches.
Bisping suffered a similar fate when he faced Belfort on Jan. 19 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Belfort landed a high kick that sent Bisping crashing to the canvas and finished him with punches on the ground.
Bisping rebounded from the loss to Belfort with a decision victory over Alan Belcher at UFC 159 on April 27. He thinks Rockhold should win at least one fight in the UFC before calling him out.
"@LukeRockhold @danawhite I say you go and win a fight in the UFC then we can talk," responded Bisping to Rockhold's challenge.

I knew this fight was brewing. Makes sense for both of them and makes an even better fight with all this trash talk. I'll take Bisping on this one though.
As much as I can't stand Bisping, I agree with him also. he's # 3 on that MW rankings and needs to fight someone with some hype behind him, I'm thinking Jacare. Luke's got a lot to prove right now. I could see a number of middleweights giving him a tough fight.
Official UFC ranking, Bisping is #4 and Luke is #7. It might be the first time Bisping beats a real top 10 fighter. I'd rather see Jacare whoop his ass first. Then he can fight Luke at #6 vs #7.
Just looked at that. Forgot about Weidman. They actually have Okami above Bisping. How did Sonnen drop so far down the list? Interesting
Luke, Jacre and Tim Kennedy will shake up the division a bit. Luke may have been KO'd by Vitor but he's still young and a pretty tough fight. Him and Bisping also make a nice style match up.
He's right
lol, they both got KO'ed by same guy. Truth of the matter is, they both need a win and both are probably around the spot in rankings anyway.
Bisping did get a win he jacked up belcher
I usually think MB is a dumbass… he's got a point on this though. Win a fight (UFC) first Luke. You're looking kinda douchey right now.
why does he look douchey for wanting to fight a loudmouth prick that said he whipped him in practice? seems like a logical reaction from a fighter to me
Anytime someone tries to line jump, its a douchey move. Luke needs a W in the UFC first IMO. He doesn't have the pull to call out anybody. He's coming off a loss after all. while I have no desire to see these two dudes pillow fight, I wouldnt be surprised if it happens. In England at that.j
who exactly is he jumping in line? neither is in title contention and
rockholds only loss in the past 10 fights is to the guy that just ko'ed
bisping. and all but 2 of rockholds wins are by stoppage and as much as i
hate bisping and thinks he hits like a vagina he does have 18 stoppages
compared to 6 decision wins so dont know why you're under the
impression it would go the distance and rockhold is a fairly dynamic
Well, everybody has the impression it'd go the distance because neither of them have the ability to KO top level fighters,as themselves. lol
it prolly would because of bispings movement but on paper the chances are it would be a finish.
You're right, linejumping is a bad choiceof words. "Paying you're UFC dues before calling ppl out" would have been better. I feel it would be a snoozer with Luke not wanting to go buck nutty and risk a 2nd L in a row and MB not wanting to get caught with a wild "KO" punch and becoming even more irrelevant. Just my opinion though.
Exactly. Both guys have great striking skills, and great movement. Their wins are all about dynamic striking. Just look at Rockhold vs Jacare or Bisping vs Belcher,it's basically the same game. That's why I don't think a KO would happen, they don't go for the kill, they wear out the opponent with fast strikes that hardly pack a punch.
Atleast Rockhold has a win over a top 10 opponent…
Ha ha ha, a poster after my own heart! Bisping is not as good as he thinks he is.
this is coming from the guy who would get knocked out in a #1 contenders fight with a heavy bag.
Luke rockhold vs hector lombard. Make it happen ufc.
Rockhold does not deserve Bisping. Do Rockhold vs Belcher.
Luke was very dissapointed with a Vitor loss, so i think he just wanna jump back into the game ouick. He called out a guy who said all those things about him plus a possible win over Bisping would be huge for his name and a place in the division.
But yea, i also think he should win a fight first to get an opponent like MIke.

MacPhee & Partners
Estate agent Claire McAlpin from MacPhee & Partners, who currently have around 180 properties for sale in the Highlands, said she had sold more Lochaber properties in the past two months than during the previous six. She said:
" The past two months have bucked the trend and things are starting to get very busy again. It's definitely at the lower end of the market that we've noticed sales have gone up. We've noticed it because that's the end of the market that has really suffered in the recession, presumably because people are having more problems getting mortgages. We've seen a huge number of inquiries, first of all for rental properties from the parents of students and then when people realise there are limited rental properties available, more and more parents are now investing in property to buy for the period of study. It will affect the rest of the market because when people sell, they tend to move up a level, so we're starting to see things moving again"

Yesterday a report surfaced saying that the Houston Texans were interested in acquiring Ryan Mallett. However the Houston Chronicle's John McClain has refuted that report, saying it won't happen.
I told you last week Texans wouldn't be signing Matt Cassel. And they won't be trading for Ryan Mallett, either.
— John McClain (@McClain_on_NFL) March 9, 2014
If the Texans can take care of their quarterback issues via free agency, it will allow them to draft Jadeveon Clowney with the first pick in the draft. If you thought J.J. Watt made the Houston defense frightening, just imagine what it would be like if he were to be paired with Clowney.
Bleacher Report's Matt Miller said that shipping off Mallett would have netted the Pats a third round pick, something that would be great value for New England. Mallett has been on the sidelines his entire career, and while it is nice to have a good backup to Tom Brady, it probably would be better to gain an extra third round pick, to improve weakened areas of your team.

Suitcase Turntable: An Adorable Solution for the Audiophobe
Sometimes whining pays off. I recently lamented the fact that I had no way to listen to music and casually mentioned that I was pining for a suitcase record player. Soon after, a dear friend presented me with a delightfully simple and stylishly old-timey portable turntable for my birthday, and I couldn't be happier...
Records are my preferred music-delivery system, but it seemed hopeless that I'd ever have a simple (for me), managable (for me), lovely-to-look at way to listen to them. I try to avoid being willfully ignorant, but the thought of learning about receivers, speakers, ins & outs, and all those wires sounds horrible. I need to learn how to make pasta and pickles and do Japanese woodworking! Audio-installation is not even on the list of skills I'd like to acquire.
That's where the brilliant suitcase record player comes in: I had it playing records within a 30-seconds of opening the box! There's one cord! (Okay, there's a USB cord, too, so I can transfer records to digital, but I don't need to worry about that anytime soon.) I can pick it up and move it around the apartment based on whim! It's sooooo small but the speakers can easily drown out my neighbors' parties! This is the future of audio, at least for me.
- I'd been scouring the San Francisco Craigslist for weeks, hoping to find one, to no avail. I'm sure they do turn up, though!
- There are some very cool restored vintage versions on Etsy. I especially like this stylin' faux-alligator RCA turntable from the 1950s, restored by a "Certified Electronics Technician of 30 years" and complete with a 30-day guarantee! This futuristic white one from the same seller is pretty sweet, too.
- As mentioned on Apartment Therapy way back in 2008, Urban Outfitters has a fun selection of portable USB turntables, including a cute green and white Crosley version, a sleek red one, and a pleather Crosley turntable similar (or identical?) to mine.

Audiophile, I think you mean?
The music is scaring me, turn it up!!
Oh No!
But the first one reminds me of Portlandia- Put bird on it!
This would be really cool for my daughters room.. I love it.
You have the Crosley turntable that Urban Outfitters sells. I got the same one from another source. In my experience, the sound quality is pretty bad, especially for higher-pitched sounds. I had to return it. And the number of similar reviews indicates it wasn't a fluke.
If an audiophile is someone who "a hobbyist who seeks high-quality audio reproduction via the use of specialized high-end audio electronics" (Wikipedia), I am definitely an audiophobe- someone with no interest or skill in the use of specialized high-end audio electronics..
Ugh, we also have records here that we can't even listen to because for some reason, record players are so expensive!
Thing is, I don't really WANT the "old-timey" look, especially if it increases the price (again... why?).
I'm curious about those USB ones. Do they only serve the function of creating digital files? Why create digital files of old music when there are already many digital files of old music? I just want something that plays vinyl, doesn't cost several hundreds of dollars and doesn't look like an old stationwagon! lol
The used ones at thrift stores never work either... sigh.
i got that teal crosley one as a christmas present and I LOVE IT. the draw (at that price) isn't amazing sound quality--just the fun of being able to play records. but the one i eventually received was the 2nd one after the first one never turned on! so definitely be aware if you're buying from urban outfitters.
I'm glad you found a solution that works for you. My own mother is every bit as much of a "audiophobe" as you. All she wants is a power switch and a volume control on one box, and she's done. In her case, she doesn't even care if it looks good!
These players are undoubtedly cute, and totally remind me of my elementary school, where each classroom had one. (I'm dating myself here!)
Still... settling for listening to music on a single low-fi paper speaker makes my teeth grind. There are many easy options between this and "audiophile". You don't have a friend who could spend 5 minutes hooking up something for you?
I like the Tivoli Audio stuff; we have a simple Model One radio in the kitchen. Though they don't seem to have a model that you could connect a record player to. Bummer.
Yea, OK...you may not be able to find a vintage used turntable there in S.F.--but WHEN possible, it's much more desireable than these hack-job Crosley things. (I bought one for my parents since they decorate with antiques and needed a radio--it fell apart in short order.)
Why purchase or hold on to vinyl if not for the purpose of sound quality? I'd say there is no point whatsoever.
I actually want to enjoy my records, not show off to my friends...
And I love birds... :)
Can anyone suggest an affordable record player with decent sound quality?
@MelissaDC - it depends what you mean by affordable :) Brand new, Pro-Ject are very well regarded - see eg the Debut III http://www.sumikoaudio.net/project/products/debut.htm. You would need an amp and speakers too, of course, but that's true of any decent turntable really.
Or, you could pick up an ex-DJs Technics 1200 for about the same money.
i totally get the audiophobe, and completely understand what an audiophile is. title is correct, i think.
See, that's more like it: a ceramic bird sculpture instead of a stuffed bird!
invest in a Technics 1200, its worth it. Not to mention I am not sure that vintage record players and modern records are very compatible...
Okay, this is a bit late, but I am putting in my 2 cents anyway. I have been a dj for 12 years, and let me tell you, I have 2 Technics for djing, but I still have 2 Crosleys for at home use. One of the ones I have is the one in the first 2 pictures. I have had no problems with is what so ever! Actually it has held up several years at this point and still sounds great. The other one I have is smaller and was only $75 and the built speakers are quite small, so I just hooked two little speakers up to that and it sounds perfect! I don't know what models people are complaining about, but I love mine and they look great!

Reebok Q96 "Crossing Guard" + "Crossover"
November 26th, 2013 by Brendan Dunne | No comments
Even though the Reebok Q96 is just outside the realm of Allen Iverson signature shoe territory, it will still come in some colorways alluding to the on-court prowess of AI. Case in point are the new "Crossing Guard" and "Crossover" versions that are on their way for December. As you can see, the two sneakers break from the OG, white based blocking of the Reebok Question and instead get a little bit more colorful. The neon on graphite version is the "Crossing Guard" alluding to his general move set while the "Crossover" is linked to that more specific MJ-defying moment. Continue reading to get a good look at both and watch for these Reebok Q96 styles to debut on December 1st for $114.99 at retailers like Foot Locker, Finish Line, Champs, Jimmy Jazz and Reebok.

Besides – all "open source" code is copyrighted, some has a license allowing it to be used without any restrictions, some has more strict licenses but saying a "piece of code" is patented is very weird. It's like saying I could patent the way you breath? Or maybe how you write from left to right?
On the other hand, MS, Amazon, etc have some real patents (as seen by current laws) and the patent deals, as any other business deals, have always been very common just to avoid later problems – nothing new there. And, of course, everyone just dreams to have such deal with IBM – their patent portfolio is unbeatable today.]]>
Quotation from history
Matthew J. Szulik, chair, CEO and president of Red Hat, the leading provider of Linux and open source technology, outlined the challenges and opportunities faced by the movement in the opening plenary session of the 2005 Annual Meeting of the American Society for Information Science & Technology. Some 250 people filled the auditorium in Charlotte , North Carolina , for the presentation. Szulik began by showing a promotional video whose theme was that despite ignorance, ridicule and opposition, "truth happens." It quoted Mohandas K. Gandhi as saying, "First they ignore you. Then they laugh at you. Then they fight you. Then you win." Szulik said the video captures the spirit of Red Hat. He complimented ASIS&T for setting up wikis and blogs for the Annual Meeting. He noted that in 1997 Red Hat was a magazine company.]]>
M$ is taking what seems like a swipe at Linux to get them to say something. When the Linux people say something ordinary folks listen. This because Linux based people are usually those who get results in the real world IT. Example Google, amazon, and millions more. When M$ says something people have understood the hype value of it. So without Linux no more M$ marketing.
The IT Departments have moved on to larger things like ERP, CRM, BI, SCM and… Mostly LAMP based and the clients could care less about this M$ vs Linux vs Mac hoopla.
Folks who still debate the issue seem oblivious to the fact that Linux is now 18 years old. Nothing new. Such old technologies are mature and are doing their job and everyone who is serious should already know about it.
If they still don't know, then they do not need to be told. Just give such people a PCLOS Live CD and tell them to DIY if they want to learn.
M$ messed up big time with GPL v3 after the novell deal. They just seem like they have a death wish as a company. The opensource group is now too large to be taken on without suffering deadly blows.
A few more such stupid swipes and maybe that shall be the end of M$ for good. Then all of it shall end up in opensource may be GPL v 4.0 may need to be developed to incorporate the resulting legalese.

Kevin Durant says Allen Iverson was 'pound for pound the best' in Instagram postYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute19 hrs ago
It's a figure of speech usually reserved for the boxing and mixed martial arts world. Calling someone the best "pound-for-pound" anything is subjective and hard to define. Was Sugar Ray Robinson the best pound-for-pound boxer ever? Many say the man born Walker Smith Jr. was. When it comes to MMA, former UFC middleweight champion Anderson Silva has been given the title in the past. But what about basketball? Surely, Michael Jordan is somewhere on the list. He may top it. But not for Oklahoma City Thunder star Kevin Durant.
Chuck too real. He changed the way we play ball. He changed the culture of ball. He is pound for pound the best. He paved the way. I can go on and on. But he's a legend and I'm just walking the path he created.
Fan gets wedged between rows attempting to catch foul ballYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute4 days ago
Once upon a time, Eric Wedge skippered the Cleveland Indians. The former big league catcher had a successful run with the Tribe that included winning the 2007 American League Manager of the Year award. But for one Cleveland fan Thursday, hearing the word "wedge" at Progressive Field didn't necessarily stir fond memories.
Minnesota Twins left fielder Chris Parmelee fouled off a Bryan Shaw pitch in the eighth inning that ended up behind the home dugout on the third-base side. A man in the second row thought he had a bead on it. Unfortunately, he didn't come up with it. But he did end up falling backward and getting wedged between rows. Oh well. At least the Indians won 2-0.

Suspended slugger Alex Rodriguez reportedly on LinkedInYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute4 days ago
For those looking to network, LinkedIn has been a great resource. Created in December 2002 and launched in May 2003, the website has over 200 million users. And according to a report in Thursday's Wall Street Journal, one of them belongs to disgraced New York Yankees star Alex Rodriguez. Suspended for the 2014 season due to his involvement in the Biogenesis scandal, A-Rod has a profile on the service. It's pretty generic — Rodriguez is listed as the "Founder, CEO and President of Arod Corp" and the profile is based in Miami Beach, Fla. But here's why it might legitimately be the 14-time All-Star and three-time American League MVP's profile: ARod Corp. is Rodriguez's official corporate entity. And Rodriguez did grow up in the area. Not to mention, he's likely done playing baseball. The guy is looking for work! More from the report:

To punt or not to punt … in a video game? That is the question that Yahoo Sports posed to Indianapolis Colts quarterback Andrew Luck. The two-time Pro Bowler admitted it had been a long time since he has played a virtual football contest. But his answer was very well thought out.
"I think a punt can be a big play in a game," Luck responded. "If it's anything like a real game then you realize that a Pat McAfee punt that downs someone inside the 2-yard line can really swing a game." (Credit to Luck for giving his teammate props.) He continued, "I'm all for punting in video games."
Of course, several of Luck's recent outings have resembled video games. The No. 1 pick in the 2012 NFL draft nearly added the latest comeback to his budding career Sunday night (while facing the guy he succeeded in Indy) before the Colts ultimately succumbed to the Denver Broncos 31-24.
Will the Rose Namajunas flying armbar be the next signature move in UFC?Yahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute11 days ago
The funny thing about Ronda Rousey's armbar is that even though her opponents know it's coming, they can't stop it. The UFC Bantamweight champion has used the signature move to win eight of her 10 professional fights. But it was Rose Namajunas, not Rousey, that earned 2013 Submission of the Yearhonors from MMA Weekly. The 22-year-old, who will appear on The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned, used a to defeat Kathina Catron at Invicta FC 5 last year in 12 seconds. And if Namajunas is able to continue to pull off the crazy maneuver with any consistency, it may turn out to be the next big thing in the sport. But the tactic is about more than just physical domination for the contender. There's a mental aspect too.
"I have a creative mindset when it comes to fighting," the Milwaukee native told Yahoo Sports. "I don't put anthing out of the question on if it will work or not. I always try it. I really just visualized it in my head and could picture it and it worked out."
UFC strawweight contender Carla Esparza reveals how she got 'Cookie Monster' nicknameYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute11 days ago
No, UFC president Dana White has not moved to "Sesame Street." But he has cast inaugural Invicta FC strawweight champion Carla Esparza — whose nickname is Cookie Monster — in The Ultimate Fighter: A Champion Will Be Crowned. The reality show, which is in its 20th season in the U.S., will feature an all-female slate for the first time. Sixteen women, including Esparza, will be coached by current UFC Lightweight champion Anthony Pettis and No. 2 contender Gilbert Melendez. The first UFC women's 115-pound champ will emerge from the cast.
Orioles catcher Caleb Joseph slips on on-deck circle, makes Forrest Gump referenceYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute12 days ago
Caleb Joseph burst on to the baseball scene last month when he homered in five straight games. Wednesday night, the Baltimore Orioles catcher bursted into the home dugout's camera well after a scary spill on the on-deck circle mat.
Thankfully, the 28-year-old rookie was OK after the dangerous-looking play. He even joked about the misstep with reporters after the 6-0 victory over the Cincinnati Reds, making a movie reference.
Caleb Joseph said he's fine after fall near dugout. "I'm good. I've got some cushion in the buttocks area as Forrest Gump would say."
O's manager Buck Showalter had a different take on the near-disaster. The Baltimore skipper was clearly displeased with nasty fall, eyeballing the scene moments after it happened. He later ordered members of the grounds crew to remove the mats on both the home and visitors side off the field.

New Zealand Haka dance draws humorous reactions from Team USAYahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute13 days ago
The New Zealand national rugby team has been performing the Haka for over a century. Known as the All Blacks, the squad has carried out the traditional Maori dance that features yelling, stomping feet and, yes, tongues sticking out since 1905. In recent years, other Kiwi teams have participated in the ritual, including the national basketball team. Such was the case Tuesday in a matchup with Team USA during the FIBA Basketball World Cup.
The reactions by several NBA stars, including Derrick Rose, James Harden and Kenneth Faried were priceless. Rose looked baffled. As did Harden, whose blank stare was noted on Twitter.

Faried raised an eyebrow. As for the game itself, the American were not intimidated by the Haka, winning 98-71. But, oh those expressions.
'Madden 15' glitch makes Browns rookie linebacker Christian Kirksey 1-foot-2Yahoo Sports Staff at Yahoo Sports Minute14 days ago
When the Cleveland Browns selected Iowa linebacker Christian Kirksey in the third round of the 2014 NFL draft, the 2013 Honorable Mention All-Big Ten player just wanted to make the team's 53-man roster. The St. Louis native achieved that goal over the weekend. But the 22-year-old has achieved even greater status: he's been immortalized in one of the greatest video game glitches we've ever seen.
Thanks to an error in Madden 15 , Kirksey isn't his normal 6-foot-2 self. Instead, he's one -foot-2. That's right. As if he were starring in another sequel to "Honey, I Shrunk the Kids," Kirksey is dwarfed by normal-sized players.

#152. Finding "Comfort" in Discomfort
I'm not big on small talk. If I made a list of the top 3 things that annoy me constantly, it's drivers who don't dim their brights, incorrect merchandise pricing in the favor of the store, and then small talk with strangers. I like a conversation that has something substantial in it… not "So… is it still sunny outside?" when it's dark and the moon is up.
Some people thrive on small talk and they build intense, life-long relationships from it. That's just not me. Ask me about anything: football, baseball, my opinion on the gravitational nature of black holes, or whatever. Let's just not talk about when it might snow this year, ok?
And better yet, let's go get some coffee or tea or something while we talk.
Someone yesterday asked if our 4 kids were actually all ours. This was followed up with the classic question "Are they all healthy too?" I had someone else stop me to talk about Russell Wilson. I had another person stop to talk to me about how he hurt his knee in the military and met his wife at Walmart.
I don't like being social. It makes me uncomfortable. Yet being uncomfortable is exactly what Christianity demands of us quite often.
One of the worst things we can do is be complacent with our faith. Whether we believe we have finally come to know everything so we stop asking questions or we just don't want to test our circumstances because we feel pretty comfortable at any given moment, it's easy to accept what we know. It's not so easy to accept the need for change.
Yet Christianity is a faith, I believe, that should always be evolving just as the world is always evolving. If God created creatures to adapt to their environment and created humanity to be intelligent and adaptable to a wide range of circumstances, then why shouldn't are faith also have an evolving element to it?
Why do we insist on having a static faith?
In order for a faith to grow, that faith must step outside its comfort zone and get dirty. It's got to be put to trials and tests so that it can be sharpened. There's the easy way and then there's the right way, and the right way, I believe, is to allow our faith to be molded so that we truly can be an asset for the Kingdom of God.
I look to the story contained in Acts 12 for both sides of this situation. One one hand, you've got King Herod persecuting Christians. He's arrested Peter and intends to put him on public trial to gain favor from others, especially the Jews. On the other hand, you've got people who are praying for Peter in secret, behind closed doors.
God sends an angel to free Peter, who is being guarded by four watches of four guards each. Peter goes to where people are praying for him, a woman recognizes his voice, and then no one believes her when she says that Peter is at the door. So what does Peter do? He keeps knocking.
We as Christians are ready to take those first few steps. We're willing to pray for others. We're ready with tithes, offerings, and other forms of support. When it's time to open the door, however, we struggle to believe that God can do what He says He can do. Why is this?
Because we're unwilling to get uncomfortable enough to see how God truly works. In order to find the comfort in being uncomfortable, we have to step outside our comfort zones, go places where we normally wouldn't go, and help people we normally wouldn't help. It's hard to see God moving when life entails the same routine on a daily basis.
God is at your heart's door. He's knocking. It might be an uncomfortable social situation or it might involve being jailed for your faith that He's got in mind for you. Are you willing to open the door to see what He's got in store for you?
Or are you going to keep the door closed, content in what you already have?

Filipino boxing hero Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao made history by knocking out Mexican-American David Diaz in the ninth round, winning his fourth title at the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino Saturday (Sunday in Manila). Pacquiao sent a battered Diaz down the canvas 2:24 in Round 9 to snatch the World Boxing Council (WBC) lightweight title. He becomes the first Asian to win four titles in four different divisions. Can we safely say now that Pacquiao is "THE LORD OF THE RINGS"?!? (4 boxing "rings", that is.)

So, How's Your Drinking?
No wonder, beer is the third highly purchased consumer product in the country. (Infant formula is first, and cell phone load is second. I'm using 2006 data and I guess nothing has changed much since then.) Hmmm, are Filipinos alcoholics? Remember, alcoholism is already classified as a disease.
Alcohol, if taken moderately, has some good effects to health. Studies claim that moderate drinkers tend to have better health and live longer than those who are either abstainers or heavy drinkers. This is in addition to having fewer heart attacks and strokes, and less likely to suffer hypertension or high blood pressure, peripheral artery disease, Alzheimer's disease and the common cold. Sensible drinking also appears to be beneficial in reducing or preventing diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, bone fractures and osteoporosis, kidney stones, digestive ailments, stress and depression, poor cognition and memory, Parkinson's disease, hepatitis A, pancreatic cancer, macular degeneration (a major cause of blindness), angina pectoris, duodenal ulcer, erectile dysfunction, hearing loss, gallstones, liver disease and poor physical condition in elderly.
Medical researchers generally describe moderation as one to three drinks per day. A drink is defined as a 12 ounce can or bottle of beer, a five ounce glass of wine, or 1.5 ounces of liquor (either straight or in a mixed drink). It appears that consuming less than about half a drink per day is associated with only very small health benefits. Four or five drinks may be moderate for large individuals but excessive for small or light people. Because of their generally smaller size and other biological differences, the typical woman should generally consume 25 to 30 percent less than the average man. And, of course, recovering alcoholics, those with any adverse reactions to alcohol, and those advised against drinking by their physicians should abstain.
Researchers also say that drinking patterns appear to be as important as the amounts consumed. They say that the key to healthy, moderate consumption is a regular, one to three drinks per day pattern. However, drinking a "week's worth" of alcohol over a period of a few hours would be unhealthy, even dangerous, and clearly to be avoided.
So the common Filipino way of drinking with buddies may be dangerous to health.
The ill-effects of alcoholism far outweigh its advantages. Excessive consumption of alcohol affects the following various body parts and systems:
Brain and Nervous System. Alcohol slows down reactions, lowers a person's inhibitions, and makes a person aggressive and hostile. In higher doses, it causes "blackouts", impairs concentration, judgement, coordination and emotional reactions.
Liver. Heavy drinking damages liver cells leading to alcoholic cirrhosis, a condition where large areas of the liver are destroyed or scarred. Symptoms of liver disease include swelling of the abdomen, yellowing of the skin and eyes.
Skin. A heavy drinker's skin often appears flushed because alcohol widens the skin's surface blood vessels. Over time, blood vessels are unable to shrink back and the skin takes on a permanently reddish look.
Heart. Alcohol abuse damages the heart and weakens the muscular tissue, a condition known as cardiomyopathy.
Blood. Chronic alcohol abuse can lead to anemia and bleeding disorders.
Stomach. Too much alcohol damage the stomach's lining and cause chronic stomach problems like peptic ulcer.
Reproductive System. Male drinkers often complain of impotence because alcohol dulls the nerves that control erection and ejaculation. Chronic women drinkers report lack of sexual drive and interrupted menstruation. Moreover, women who drinks may bear children with fetal alcohol syndrome. Its symptoms include low birth weight and slow development, mental retardation and learning disabilities, central nervous system dysfunction, and facial and major organ malformations.
So... how's your drinking?

Just A Birthday Treat... or Trick!
Oh, don't be afraid. I'm just treating myself because it's my 45th birthday today. Left photo shows a birthday photo when I was one year old while the right photo was taken when I was 44 years old. If you combine the two, 1 + 44 = 45. Huh, my hairline did not change a bit! Hehehe.
I hope this post would not prevent you from coming back to this new blog I created about men's health and well-being. This is dedicated to men, 18 – 99 years old, in the mainstream of society. So guys out there, I hope you can join me by submitting your photos, articles and "what-have-you's" to me
HIV – Hair Is Vanishing
Photo from the Internet.
Filipinos may be the only people around the globe who use acronyms excessively. Many times these acronyms could mean two or more different things. Take HIV for example. The virus that causes AIDS has been given another meaning and can also be referred to as "Hair Is Vanishing". This was coined maybe to diffuse or make more acceptable one of the biggest health and personality problems of many men – baldness!
Although hair loss (alopecia) can also occur in women, pattern baldness is more common in men and is associated with the presence of the male hormone, testosterone. This pattern baldness is characterized by a receding hairline and the thinning around the crown. It then advances and often leaves just a fringe of hair extending from ear to ear across the back of the head. In some men, even this fringe is lost eventually. Patterns are classified according to the Hamilton (1942) and Norwood (1975) classifications.
Illustration from the Internet.
Hair loss in men begins anytime after the onset of puberty. It is estimated that about 25% of men begin to lose hair upon reaching 30 years old. Two-thirds of men are either bald or have developed a balding pattern upon reaching 60 years old. To some people, however, the advanced stages of hair loss arrive sooner than expected.
Baldness is affected by: aging; heredity; hormones, including testosterone; thyroid hormone; birth control pills; illness and infection; medication, including chemotherapy; malnutrition; stress; nervous habits like hair pulling; and excessive shampooing or hair styling.
Hair loss caused by illness or medication does not have to be treated because hair usually grows back after circumstances have normalized. Hair loss caused by heredity, age or hormones may be treated with medications such as minoxidil or finasteride, however, baldness usually returns when medications are stopped. Meanwhile, hair transplantation produces more permanent results by redistributing hair from the back and sides of the head. Strips or plugs or hair are removed and implanted into the bald areas. And then, of course, there is the cosmetic treatment or the use of hairpieces or wigs depending on the bald areas to be covered.
Here are some hair care tips to minimize the incident of hair loss:
• Use mild shampoo and conditioners.
• Use soft brushes. Roller brushes can cause breaks in the hair shaft.
• Use low heat when drying hair.
• Do not use permanent dye on your hair.
• Do not comb long wet hair as it can cause hair shaft breakage.
• Do not stay too long in the pool as chlorine can weaken hair shafts.
• Avoid rigorous hair drying with a towel.
• Long hair should be cut to minimize weakening of hair shaft.
Lashes & Asses
New medical findings show that the eyelashes are connected to the hairs of the anus. Try pulling a hair in your asshole and find out if you are not going to shed a tear or cry.
A Puzzling Heart Attack
Russert's case was a plaque rupture – a fatty, pimple-like lesion in a coronary artery burst, and a blood clot formed that closed the vessel and cut off circulation to part of the heart muscle. According to an article written by Denise Grady of the New York Times, "Mr. Russert's fate underlines some painful truths. A doctor's care is not a protective bubble, and cardiology is not the exact science that many people wish it to be. A person's risk of a heart attack can only be estimated, and although drugs, diet and exercise may lower that risk, they cannot eliminate it entirely."
Although Russert took blood pressure and cholesterol pills and aspirin, rode an exercise bike, did not smoke, had yearly stress tests and other exams, he was quite overweight with a waist more than 40 inches.
In the United States, one person dies every 33 seconds from cardiovascular diseases (CVD), the No. 1 killer in America and in many well-developed countries around the world. In the Philippines, the death toll from CVD is about one every 7 minutes, and one out of ten Filipinos 15 years and older has hypertension (high blood pressure). Hypertension is common among heart patients and a most frequent cause of stroke. About 80 to 85 percent of all primary hypertension are mild enough to be effectively controlled by modification in lifestyle alone without drugs.
Rupert's case may be puzzling cardiologists right now, but still nothing beats prevention to maintain a healthy heart. Here are some tips:
• Quit smoking;
• Drink alcohol moderately;
• Limit or avoid high-fat, high-cholesterol foods, like egg yolk, pork, beef and other red meats, including processed foods in general;
• Eat a lot of green leafy vegetables, fish, high-fiber nuts and grains;
• Maintain a normal body weight for height and age by controlling calorie intake;
• Exercise daily at least 30 minutes, five times a week;
• Drink at least 8 glasses of water a day;
• Adopt a daily stress reduction and relaxation routine;
• Avoid exposure to toxic chemical vapors, even from common household sprays, etc., and protection from sun (UV ray) exposure as much as possible; and
• Have a regular medical check-up, especially for those who are over the age of 40, and for younger ones who have pre-existing illness.

To start any event there is always the paperwork, piles and piles of paperwork. And for us registration is where ZDayZ paperwork starts. We'd like to extend a huge thank you to the following clubs for all of their help and support of our event and their hand in getting things started off right. Registration is NOT a glorious gig, by any stretch of the imagination, but it is absolutely necessary and we cannot thank them enough. If you or your club helped during the registration part of the ZDayZ weekend, we offer you our extreme gratitude.
The ZDayZ 'Partners' Arrive:
First – please find your way to the comprehensive list of the ZDayZ Partners on the ZDayZ Event Partners page. Please know that the ZDayZ Partners do not 'sponsor' ZDayZ, but that they are Partners with the ZDayZ Organizers in producing this near legendary event. Many of the great stories & good times of the past 11 years are rooted in our Partners efforts & antics! If you wish to support ZDayZ, each of the ZDayZ Partners should be the place you start for your Nissan Performance Platform needs.
In the months/weeks/days running up to ZDayZ, our hearts and minds leave for Fontana Village long before we do. This applies in total to the ZDayZ Staff and for sure nearly all of our fellow attendees. However, for our ZDayZ Partners, the approach of ZDayZ adds the edge of really having your 'stuff' together when that middle Thursday in May rolls around. The Partners attend as part of the ZDayZ community – they are as much us, as we are them - and they drag a great deal more baggage to FVR than what fits in Z, G or a GT-R. That baggage may be stuff for us to admire or go home with, or an idea and/or activity to entertain us. The ZDayZ Partners are all 'Voluntolds' in a somewhat different degree (and they get screwed as to the shirt).
ZDayZ Thursday morning marks the arrival and set up of the ZDayZ Partners with on-site presence. There is always a level of anticipatory excitement with this as we get to see what our friends have brought for our titillation. ZDayZ saw that display step up again, running the gambit from jaw dropping eye candy, to massive stopping power, through awesome track & street machines, and many solutions for spinal cord disintegrating power & performance!
Nissan's participation this year was as impressive as last year's JUKE-R; but way more global. Nissan's 18 wheel car hauler snaked its way into FVR and deposited a gorgeous 2015 370Z NISMO, and then proceeded amaze us all with the GLOBAL reveal of it. It was so global that ZDayZ was on yahoo.com, autoweek.com, topgear.com, jalopnik.com, autoblog.com to name a few.
America's Fund America's Fund is a program created to direct urgently needed resources and financial support to injured and critically ill members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. Since its inception in 2004, the Semper Fi Fund has provided more than $91 million in support. As injured heroes from different branches of service are treated side by side at our nation's military hospitals, requests for assistance to all branches have continued to grow. Today, their first priority is providing family support grants. These enable families to spend time at loved ones' hospital bedsides, free from the financial pressures of travel, temporary lodging and lost wages.

Please show some love and reach out to each and every one of our partners that helped us with ZDayZ. In alphabetical order:
These are the people that put in the sweat equity to make ZDayZ run as smooth and efficiently as it does. Without the support of our partner clubs, ZDayZ would be much more quaint affair and certainly not as fun. In alphabetical order:
Once again we kicked off the weekend with a massive round of door prizes provided by our partners, and this year we gave away over $15,000 of goodies!!!! All we can say is WOW. Please take this opportunity and visit our partner page, and please take the time to visit each of our partner's sites/social media pages and thank them. It would also be a great idea if you spent a little (or a bunch) of coin with them and drop our name with them as you do it. Every year our partners take great care in making sure that the ZDayZ participants get some great swag, and 2014 is no exception as they exceeded all expectations. We ask a lot of them and they never flinch or hesitate to step up to the plate for us and for YOU.
Keeping the cheers going we also gave club plaques to the following clubs in appreciation of all the hard work they do to help ZDayZ, we simply couldn't do it without them. This is just one more example of "For Enthusiasts, By Enthusiasts." Our club participation never fails to amaze us. If you are interested in your club helping staff an event in 2015 please do not hesitate to ask Bryan Settle how your club can help.
Finally, the past couple of years we have had a special, and highly coveted, award for the clubs - The Club Spirit of the Dragon Award, and this year's earner was Z Atlanta. Z Atlanta is one of the newer clubs at ZDayZ, Adam and crew have done an amazing job of instilling enthusiasm and a launching point for the Atlanta based Z enthusiasts.
