Phoenix Suns: Josh Childress
The Suns gave Childress a big contract this summer to get him to return to the U.S. from Greece, and so far that investment has not paid off. Childress is averaging under five points a game and playing behind Grant Hill, Jared Dudley and Mickael Pietrus in Phoenix. With a little under $7 million per year remaining on the last four years of his contract, Phoenix would love this contract to go away.
Los Angeles Lakers: Ron Artest
Artest helped the Lakers win the NBA Championship last season, and has played well during his time in L.A., but he remains an incredibly eccentric and unpredictable personality. This was evidenced when he sprayed Lamar Odom's cologne on a reporter after a Lakers loss to the Bobcats. With three years at a little over $7 million per left on his deal, that is probably stretching the limits of how much more Kobe and Co. can take of Ron being Ron.
Los Angeles Clippers: Chris Kaman
Last year, Chris Kaman had a great season that went unnoticed by many because of the Clippers' futility. This year, he has been injured for most of the season, and that has allowed DeAndre Jordan to emerge as a starting caliber center. Jordan is incredibly athletic and with the Clippers seeming to build their team around young, athletic types like Blake Griffin, Eric Gordon and Eric Bledsoe, Jordan seems like the better fit going forward.
Golden State Warriors: Andris Biedrins
When Biedrins signed his six-year, $62 million contract extension with the Warriors in 2008, it was thought to be somewhat of a bargain for a guy who consistently put up double-doubles. However, Biedrins has seen his production decline since then, missing most of last season with injury, and he is averaging only five points and seven rebounds this season. The Warriors would probably do best letting him loose and using David Lee, Louis Amundson and Ekpe Udoh at center moving forward.
Sacramento Kings: Francisco Garcia
With Marcus Thornton emerging as the shooting guard of the future for Sacramento since coming over from New Orleans, Garcia becomes a bit expendable. He is owed $12 million total for the next two seasons, but for a team going nowhere fast (except maybe Anaheim), that money could be better spent elsewhere like on signing Thornton to an extension since his contract expires after this season.

I am a new employee at SUNY Oswego. How do I obtain an account?
- A completed I-9 and an appointment form with signatures needs to be sent to the Human Resources office by the hiring department.
- The data is then entered into SUNY Human Resources system and Banner (for campus ID #)
- Once the data has been entered into the Human Resources and Banner systems, your account should be created within 1-2 business days.
- Once the account has been created, you will need to activate it by going to the SUNY Oswego mail page and clicking on the "Email Account Activation" link.
If for some reason this standard procedure does not meet employee needs, arrangements for a temp account can be made through Campus Technology Services at x3055. These special processing requests will incur a $25.00 service fee, and will take approximately 3 business days to complete.
I just graduated or left college. When does my account expire?
As of Fall 2010, student accounts no longer expire.
My password isn't working.
- Passwords are case-sensitive. Check to make sure you do not have Caps Lock pressed down. If using the keypad, make sure Num Lock is pressed down first.
If you recently had a password reset, there could be a slight delay as the change syncs with Google's servers. In a situation where the server is under a lot of stress, the duration could be up to an hour. If your password is still not functioning within several hours after a reset, contact the Help Desk for assistance.
- Log in to the CTS Account Tools page with your current Laker NetID credentials.
- Click on "Change Your Password".
- Fill in the fields with a new password and submit the form.
- After changing your password, most services will recognize it immediately. LakerApps may take up to an hour while the password has to sync with Google's servers.
If I forgot my password, how can I get it reset?
- If you have assigned a security question for your account, you can use the online password reset utility. Go to the SUNY Oswego mail page and click on the "Forgot Your Password?" link.
- Come to 26 Lanigan Hall during regular business hours. We will perform a reset for you once we have verified your identity -- for this, we require at least one form of picture I.D.
- Send CTS a notarized letter requesting the reset.
Do you offer password resets via phone or email?
Unfortunately, due to security concerns we cannot allow password resets using these methods. We require a valid photo ID (not a photocopy), or a notarized letter as proof of identity. In most cases, our users should have a working security question and answer already set, which negates the need for other reset methods.

Submission Last-minute, untested "experimental" software patch affects 80% of Ohio's vote->
An anonymous reader writes: A last minute "experimental" software update affects the tally machines which count 80% of OH's vote, and introduces absurd vulnerabilities into the system: precinct vote tallies in each county will be reformatted by the patch and put on personal thumb drives before submission to the secretary of state. The patch has read/write access to the electronic vote data-base, and hasn't been open to testing or review by any authority. Untested voting software is against Ohio law, but the secretary of state has designated the software "experimental", and so it slips by in a loophole. An injuction was refused this morning.

2 firefighters dead in Boston brownstone fire
BOSTON (AP) — A Boston city councilor says two firefighters have died in a fire that ripped through a brownstone.
The fire started Wednesday afternoon in the four-story building in the densely populated Back Bay neighborhood. Smoke and flames fanned by strong winds poured from the roof and windows for hours.
Councilor Josh Zakim represents the area and confirms the firefighters' deaths.
Major thoroughfare Storrow Drive was shut down for a time, and people were asked to stay out of the area. Boston EMS says at least 18 people were taken to hospitals.
There are no reports of brownstone residents missing, and it appears everyone who was inside escaped.
An assistant district attorney is headed to the scene, standard procedure in cases in which there are serious or potentially life-threatening injuries or deaths.
There's no immediate word on the cause of the fire.

One trial also found that only a small proportion of women who were eligible received an ICD. But that trial, and others, were conducted before the Medicare expansion.
For the first of the new studies, the researchers looked at the medical records of more than 236,000 Medicare patients from 1999 to 2005. The study had two parts -- one looking at primary prevention (those at risk for sudden cardiac death and cardiac arrest) and one looking at secondary prevention (those who had already had cardiac arrest or sudden cardiac death).
Among patients in the primary prevention component, men were 3.2 times more likely than women to receive an ICD. In the secondary prevention trial, men were 2.4 times more likely to receive an ICD.
White men were more likely than black men to get ICDs and white women were more likely than black women to get them.
The gender discrepancy did not appear to narrow over time.
For the second study, the researchers looked at 13,034 patients with heart failure and left ventricular ejection fraction of 30 percent or less (a measure of how well the heart pumps that indicates the risk for sudden cardiac death) between January 2005 and June 2007. Patients had been admitted to one of 217 hospitals participating in the American Heart Association's "Get With the Guidelines" program. This study only looked at primary prevention.
Overall, just 35.4 percent of patients eligible for ICD therapy had received a device by the time of hospital discharge, but the figure varied by group: 28.2 percent of eligible black women received the therapy, along with 29.8 percent of white women, 33.4 percent of black men and 43.6 percent of white m

Tipping Suggestions
Tips in restaurants are usually added on at 10/15 % of the bill. However, it is often a subject of controversy whether this amount actually goes to the waiter or not, therefore it is your choice whether to tip more.
Arrival & Departure Formalities
Travel documents are your responsibility. In general you should have:
- A signed, valid passport that will remain valid for at least 6 months beyond the completion of your trip. Your passport must have enough blank pages (excluding amendment pages) available for entry and exit stamps issued when entering and exiting immigration points.
- Visas are required for certain nationalities and you are strongly advised to check your status allowing plenty of time for visa application.
Due to its favourable climate and geography Côte d'Azur has an average of 300 sunny days, an average temperature of 16°C and short but periodical rain-showers.

Chargers to draft (or avoid) in 2014
The Chargers have plenty of interesting Fantasy options this season after going over their preseason outlooks. I shared my thoughts on Philip Rivers in our early look at busts, but let's take a look at Ryan Mathews, Keenan Allen, Antonio Gates and Ladarius Green here.
- Ryan Mathews: He finished 2013 as the No. 12 running back in standard leagues, but his production could decline this season with the addition of Donald Brown. The Chargers are saying all the right things about Mathews, who is entering a contract year, and we still consider him a No. 2 Fantasy running back. But Brown's presence is going to hurt Mathews, especially with coach Mike McCoy saying he could use a hot-hand approach for his backfield. "You get in there, you get on a little bit of a roll and you're going to stay in there," McCoy said. "Donald is a perfect fit for our system, and that's why we went after him and got him. He understands what we want to do offensively, not only in the passing game but in the running game and pass protection. ... We'll let Donald come in there and show us what he can do, and we'll try to take advantage of what he does best and go with the flow of the game."
- Keenan Allen: As Larry Hartstein pointed out in his blog on rookie receivers, Allen became just the second first-year wideout since 2005 (A.J. Green) to gain 1,000 receiving yards. He did that really from Week 4 on when his role expanded following Malcom Floyd's neck injury. This season, Allen should still be a solid Fantasy receiver, but tougher coverage and unrealistic expectations could hurt his value. You should target Allen in Round 5 at the earliest. As McCoy said, "When you're a young player and had the success he did, now he's got a bulls-eye on his back," McCoy said. "Everybody is going to know where he is every play. The success he had, that comes with the territory. And that's a good problem to have."
- Antonio Gates: We could be at the beginning of the end for Gates, who will be 34 when the season starts and looked slow in 2013. He still managed 77 catches for 872 yards, but his four touchdowns were his lowest total since his rookie season in 2003. Ladarius Green will become more of a factor this season, and Gates could continue to decline. I wouldn't discount him completely, but he's not someone to even consider as a No. 1 tight end coming into the year. He's only worth drafting as a late-round flier in deeper leagues but is more likely a bye-week or injury replacement this season.
- Ladarius Green: He is going to be a popular sleeper this season after the way he closed the 2013 campaign, along with Gates starting to slow down. Green had at least eight Fantasy points in four of his final seven games, and McCoy said that he wished he used Green more earlier in the year. We can see the Chargers using plenty of two tight-end sets, and Green could emerge as a No. 1 Fantasy tight end during the season. He should be considered a No. 2 option on Draft Day, but he is worth stashing based on his potential. "What happened with him last year he made the most of his opportunities," McCoy said. "Early in the year, they were limited. It takes time. When he was in at the right time, he was continuing to make plays. You wish you would have done that a little earlier."

Because it's bad tv (plus hard to film) if it's just a pile of dead bodies everywhere. Half a million people in Atlanta, goes to a couple million if you count nearby outlying areas. Obviously we didn't see a couple million zombies or corpses. We also saw about 20 survivors, so feel free to extend those numbers out as far as you like. If there's even 1000 zombies seen for every 20 survivors, you're still looking at .001% survival rate. (projects to 70k humans if you use worldwide numbers, but some areas would be much less impacted, and wouldn't see such bad numbers.)
Atlanta urban area is like 5 million people, not half a million.
We've seen a few different groups mind you. The old folks home from season one, the gang from season two, Hershel's farm, now the town, the prisoners, the group from the latest episode, etc. That adds up to a lot more than 20 survivors. While it is clearly a small fraction of the overall population, if you extrapolate it out to other areas and assume even a few neighborhoods or facilities that managed to survive the initial outbreak and shore up their defenses, there could be areas with tens of thousands fairly easily.
I think it is safe to assume at least a few million people are still alive at the time of the show's most recent events. Is that enough to keep the hordes replentished? Of course not, but that assumes they need replentishing. Once the dead are walking I don't see any reason they should be dying off out of something as simple as starvation or exposure.

Irvine, Calif., July 14, 2010 The Institute for Clinical & Translational Science at UC Irvine will get $20 million over five years from the National Institutes of Health to speed the transformation of scientific discoveries into medical advances for patients.
UCI is the first medical research institution in Orange County and the eighth statewide to receive the competitive Clinical & Translational Science Award. It enters a prestigious national consortium of CTSA beneficiaries whose membership will be capped at 60 by 2012. The NIH announced nine awardees today.
The sixth-largest grant in UCI history, the CTSA will foster multidisciplinary research involving the community in a wide range of fields such as genetics, diabetes, gerontology, pediatrics, cancer and infectious diseases while funding efforts to overcome impediments to biomedical innovation.
"With this award, UCI joins a select group of institutions supported by NIH to forge a new direction for clinical research in the U.S. for a generation to come," said Dr. Dan Cooper, ICTS director and primary CTSA investigator. "The grant will jump-start our endeavors to build effective multidisciplinary research teams to tackle important health issues, and it will bolster efforts to involve our community in the excitement of clinical discovery as partners."
Specifically, he said, the CTSA will support:

Stinger: Jellyfish season arrives along Gulf Coast, a real pain for beachgoers
NAPLES - ■ Home remedies such as using meat tenderizer or vinegar are more placebo than cure.
■ Use an antihistamine to treat swelling and take a pain reliever.
■ Scrape the sting area with a credit card to remove stingers.
Source: Dauphin Island Sea Lab
Rob DeFrancesco's morning swims on Bonita Beach have more of an edge lately.
A brush with jellyfish season in Southwest Florida left him with wickedly itchy welts on his shoulder and neck a week ago and has had him looking twice before jumping into the Gulf of Mexico.
Opinions differ among beach watchers about whether more jellyfish _ some harmless, some not _ are drifting around this summer.
DeFrancesco, 55, isn't counting.
"If I get back in the water and there's a lot of them, I'll get out," he said.
This is the time of year when warmer water and nutrient-laden runoff from rainy weather combine to increase jellyfish numbers.
It's all about the food chain, said Randy McCormick, environmental manager at Rookery Bay National Estuarine Research Reserve.
Summer weather means blooms of phytoplankton, which then are eaten by zooplankton.
"They're chowing down big time," McCormick said.
More zooplankton means more food for jellyfish _ or sea jellies, as McCormick prefers to call them because they aren't really fish.
McCormick said the jellies can reproduce rapidly under the right conditions but then die off just as quickly.
"It sort of comes and goes in pulses," he said.
Common jellyfish in Southwest Florida include moon jellies, which cause a mild burning sensation in most people and have a distinctive cloverleaf shape embedded in its see-through top.
Comb jellies, which do not sting, aren't actually true jellyfish but share their gelatinous makeup.
The upside down jellyfish, known as Cassiopea, lives upside down on shallow mudflats and sea grass beds and excretes a mucus that can sting.
If the winds are right, they can be blown out of back bays and into the Gulf of Mexico.
It was something different, though, that caught longtime charter boat captain Mike Lucas' eye on a fishing trip about 10 miles offshore from the Naples Pier.
"I'd never seen that many before," charter boat captain Mike Lucas said, pointing into the waters below the Naples Pier at another one.
They were sea nettles, which serve up a painful sting that fades and leaves a rash behind.
Lucas said one of the jellyfish floated past his boat every couple minutes.
"I'd never seen that many before," he said, pointing into the waters below the Naples Pier at another one.
It drifted away harmlessly, but that wasn't how it went the Friday before the Labor Day weekend when a stretch of Naples beach was the site of a group sting.
It happened to an unofficial swim club that converges on the beach in front of the Naples Beach Hotel & Golf Club at 6 p.m. every Friday for a weekly swim.
Tom Kepp, 59, was among about a dozen swimmers stung just as they were turning around to return to the beach club, he said.
"We got run out of the water there were so many of them," Kepp said. "They were pretty thick out there."
Later that same weekend, Barbara Rich, 73, was at her usual spot under the pavilion at Lowdermilk Park but all wasn't normal, she said.
One girl already was in tears after getting stung by a jellyfish when a second girl ran out of the water suffering the same injury, Rich said.
She also saw a pregnant woman that weekend who had been stung, she said.
"We got run out of the water there were so many of them," Tom Kepp said. "They were pretty thick out there."
"We sit here every day and I've never seen anything like it," Rich said.
Naples Harbormaster Roger Jacobsen said he had reports of a couple jellyfish stings over Labor Day weekend but nothing he would consider alarming.
Jacobsen said the incidents have prompted beach patrol officers to consider adding jellyfish to their twice-daily beach conditions report.
Scientists around the world are noticing a spike in jellyfish populations and are studying what could be the cause.
Some blame global warming and overfishing that would otherwise compete with jellyfish for food.
Other theories include a proliferation of artificial reefs that provide a place for young jellyfish to cling and growing "dead zones" that kill or chase away most sea life, leaving adaptable jellyfish to thrive.
"The jury is out a little bit," said Monty Graham, a marine scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab in Alabama.
A surge in jellyfish populations in the northern Gulf of Mexico a decade ago prompted Graham to start a DockWatch program for the public to help keep track of jellyfish by reporting sightings.
In 2000, the Australian spotted jellyfish invaded the northern Gulf, possibly riding the Loop Current into the Gulf of Mexico from the Caribbean Sea.
The northern Gulf could be entering a new period of jellyfish proliferation, but Southwest Florida isn't necessarily on the same cycle, Graham said.
"I'd be very cautious (about drawing a connection)," he said.

The December update will contain the maps Wreckage, Harvest, and Shatter; the February pack will feature Landfall, Monolith, and Skyline; and the April collection will fire off Daybreak, Outcast, and Perdition to players.
In addition, you also get an exclusive emblem and two in-game helmets with "unique geometry." And if you bought the Halo 4 Limited Edition, good news: the War Games Pass comes included.
UPDATE: Microsoft issued a correction about the console bundle:
FYI, the War Games Map Pass in Halo 4 comes with the Limited Edition of the game, NOT the console. #Correction
— David Ellis (@DavidEllis) October 24, 2012
For those asking, yes, the War Games Map Pass included with the Halo 4 LE comes with the two in-game helmets and emblem.

'Private Dancer' Mirrored Chrome Nail Lacquer
|Item # 542313
The secret is an innovative mica-pearl technology that imparts an ultra- shiny, mirrored effect. Private Dancer is a gilded ultraviolet that actually flips or changes color when seen from different angles. It's a cool, completely unique look that almost appears as though you dipped your fingertips in liquid metal.

(Note: all from younger vines Musigny ) A similar but slightly riper and much spicier nose includes blue berry and plum nuances that precede the more obviously mineral-driven medium-bodied flavors that brim with dry extract. The extremely pure and utterly delicious finish is shaped by the dense but fine tannins that are given added energy by the perfectly integrated acid spine. This is a seriously lovely effort.Drink Dates: 2021+

(from the estate's younger vines in Musigny): Bright, deep, fresh red. Very ripe aromas of black cherry, blackberry, melted licorice, roasted herbs and spices. Silky-sweet and highly concentrated, with a creamy texture supported by a solid tannic structure. The wine's lush blackberry, currant and exotic spice flavors gained in freshness with air. Finishes broad and classically dry.Author: Stephen Tanzer

Lakota started professional training today. I'd like this to be a journal of what happened every session, a place to post pics, and some place to let my thoughts out. Just to bring everyone up-to-date, Lakota is a 6 year-old Morab/Spotted Draft. He stands 16hh, weighs 1300lbs. He had 30 days training when he was 2.5 years old and then sat most of the time in his pasture. I got him last summer and want to start dressage with him. Lakota is Left Brain introvert and very stubborn.
May 30th, 2011-Angie and me worked on fly spraying him. We tried a few different methods and then she took him off by herself and just worked on spraying around him and he actually let her spray him once or twice without freaking out. After that, we saddled and bridled him and she lunged him before getting on. They spent about 30 mins walking around and they worked on him responding to the bit, keeping his head down, basically just working on him not grabbing the bit and throwing his head up like a fool. They finished on that note and I felt good about today. Lakota acted pretty good and had only a minor blow-up when she was lunging him.

Wildcats Report: Poor stretch run brought season to an end
Wichita Falls lost 8 of final 10 to miss playoffs
The Week that Was: The Wichita Falls Wildcats finished up the 2011-12 season with a 3-1 loss to Odessa Friday night at Kay Yeager Coliseum. Matt Purmal's third-period goal kept the Wildcats from being shut out.
The loss didn't mean much for the Wildcats, who finished 2-8 in the last 10 games of Paul Baxter's first year as coach.
But the Jackalopes' victory, coupled with Corpus Christi's loss to Texas on Friday, propelled Odessa into the final playoff spot in the NAHL South.
The Jackalopes played a lot better down the stretch than the IceRays did. They were 6-0 against Wichita Falls in March and 7-1 for the season. Corpus Christi finished with a 5-6-1 mark versus the Wildcats.
Final numbers: Zach Pochiro led the Wildcats with 18 goals, 34 points, 154 penalty minutes and 143 shots. Tucker Poolman had a team-high 22 assists.
Brennen Parker had the Wildcats' best rating with a plus-14 . Despite being traded midseason, Tanner Fahlstedt had a team-best four power-play goals.
Captain Renato Engler led with two short-handed goals, and his three game-winning tallies tied Dennis Kravchenko for the team lead.
The Wildcats finished the season ranked 25th among 28 teams in goal average (2.48) and 21st in goals against (3.40).
Wichita Falls' power play was next-to-last with a 10.59 percent success rate (25 of 236), and its penalty kill was ranked 20th after successfully killing 81.99 percent of penalties.
Franchise marks: The 2011-12 Wildcats easily posted the lowest goal total in the franchise's history, totaling 149 in 60 games.
The previous low was set during the 2008-09 season, when the Wildcats averaged 2.81 goals per game (163 goals in 58 games).
Pochiro's goal and point totals were the lowest to ever lead the Wildcats. The team's 6-19-3 road record (not counting NAHL Showcase games) also was a franchise worst.
On the positive side, Leon set a franchise goaltending record for lowest goals against average in a season (2.81). His save percentage of .911 was the best since Dan DiLeo's .913 during the 2004-05 campaign.
Around the South: Topeka clinched home-ice advantage with 6-3 and 3-1 victories over Odessa on Saturday and Sunday. The RoadRunners tied Texas with 80 points, but Topeka (38-18-4) had more victories than the Tornado (36-16-8) Texas finished off the IceRays by taking a pair of home games, 3-1 and 6-1 Amarillo drubbed New Mexico 6-1 and 4-1 to finish with the NAHL's best record at 46-7-7. New Mexico (18-39-3) wound up six points behind the Wildcats for last place.
Record: 20-35-5.

COLUMBUS, Ohio, Nov. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- GSW Worldwide, an inVentiv Health company (Nasdaq: VTIV) and one of the largest healthcare advertising agencies in the world, has been named agency of record by BioBehavioral Diagnostics Company (BioBDx) for their McLean Motion and Attention Test (MMAT/ADHD(TM) System), a non-invasive, diagnostic system that provides evidence-based measures of the core symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD).
GSW Worldwide will provide a broad range of strategic marketing and promotional services for the product including the development of a new campaign, and physician programming. The account will be based in GSW Worldwide's Newtown office. The details of the contract were not disclosed.
"We are thrilled to be working with BioBDx on such an important ADHD testing system," said Mark Frank, president of GSW Worldwide's Newtown operations. "ADHD affects so many people, both patients and caregivers alike. We are confident that GSW Worldwide will help the MMAT/ADHD(TM) System team connect with all of their customers in a positive way and take this product to the next level."
The MMAT/ADHD(TM) test objectively and quantitatively measures the three core symptoms of ADHD (inattention, hyperactivity and impulsivity), gauging a patient's ability to sit still and pay attention to a defined task, under controlled conditions that replicate a classroom or workplace environment. Research data shows that the information generated by the MMAT/ADHD(TM) System correlates to brain function as determined by functional magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
"We are very excited to work with GSW Worldwide," said Stephen E.

L'Eau D'Issey by Issey Miyake
I can understand how this groundbreaking juice was originally sold as the scent of water itself - it's coolness could be an interpretation of fresh water, but to me this is simply an elegant and unusual floral. It's use of crisp, clean floral notes which are strong and heady but not cloying or indolic give a powerful illusion of calmness and cool almost to the point of being chilly. Though this fragrance does not play nicely on everyone and can be incredibly variable it is absolutely beautiful on skin that suits it, and for once I am lucky as I can wear this and I know it smells as it should. Most florals screech or turn sour on me so I consider myself doubly lucky that if I chose, I could wear this.

2012 Resources, including Science and Social Studies
from the VT DOE ELA/Literacy team:
The Vermont Department of Education, in partnership with the Educational Service Agencies (ESAs), held regional trainings in the fall of 2011 for the implementation of the Common Core State Standards in ELA/Literacy. The purpose of the trainings was to provide school-based leaders with tools and resources that they could use with their colleagues in an embedded, on-going, collaborative process. All materials were based upon the instructional shifts outlined in the professional learning plan, Vermont's Transition to the Common Core State Standards in ELA/Literacy.
The trainings were divided into three sections:
Morning Session: Text Complexity for K-12 Educators
Afternoon Breakout: K-5 Integration of Complex Texts across Content Areas
Afternoon Breakout: 6 - 12 Integration of Complex Text across Content Areas

Smartphones are overtaking cameras in terms of popular use. Unless you're a photography buff, there's very little reason to lug an extra kilogram or so worth of gadgets around when all you need is your phone.
However, since they aren't purely designed for photo taking (except this one), naturally users run into difficulties when attempting certain types of photos, such as selfies. Varun Chatterji, founder of photography app Gear2Cam, says that there are two main problems when it comes to taking selfies:
Firstly, to see what's in the frame, you need to be close to the camera. This is the problem that selfie sticks try to solve. Secondly, if you want to take a large group selfie, then there's a lot of trial and error with a timer to figure out who is in the frame and who is not.
This can be solved by using another device to view and frame the shot, and then snap it right away, and what better device is there than another gadget that is always worn daily – the smartwatch?
This is the premise that Chatterji used to create Gear2Cam, an Android app that connects your Android smartphone and Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch for this very purpose. A user would need to mount his smartphone on a tripod, use the smartwatch as the viewfinder to compose the photo, and then snap the photo by tapping on the watch.
There are two major issues here: the app is only available on Android, and only compatible with the Samsung Gear 2 smartwatch. We're reaching out to Chatterji regarding whether the app will be available on iOS soon.
This might be a rather simple idea, but Gear2Cam already has more than 10,000 over daily active users since launching in June. The team also nailed first place in Samsung's challenge at the Startup Asia Singapore 2014 hackathon, and more recently made it to the finals of the global Samsung Gear App Challenge.

The Park's Enabling Legislation
A national park's enabling legislation is the Act of the United States Congress that creates the park and authorizes actions to set the park up. This 1965 legislation refers to Tocks Island Dam and Reservoir. Building the dam was later de-authorized by Congress. However, the park authorized by this legislation was formed and is named Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area.
For context, please review the History Timeline of the Park
Public Law 89-158
An Act
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in order to further the purposes of the joint resolution approved September 27, 1961 (re Delaware River Basin compact; 75 Stat. 688), and to provide in a manner coordinated with the other purposes of the Tocks Island Reservoir project, for public outdoor recreation use and enjoyment of the proposed Tocks Island Reservoir and lands adjacent thereto by the people of the United States and for preservation of the scenic, scientific and historic features contributing to public enjoyment of such lands and waters, the Secretary of the Interior is authorized, as herein pro vided, to establish and administer the Delaware Water Gap National Recreation Area, hereinafter referred to as the "area", as part of the Tocks Island Reservoir project, hereinafter referred to as "the project".

Had no idea they were going to sing every line lol, so i couldnt take the film seriously. I found it boring and because of the constant singing very annoying
Its a shame though cause the first ten seconds i was like woah this is gonna be good, then he started singing and never stopped. My gf was crying, but she wasnt the only one, i could see the ppl in front of us crying there eyes out lol for whatever reason, there was nothing to cry at.
If i hadnt had my gf with me id have left within 20 minutes max.
I think i wouldve enjoyed the film if they had actually spoke though
I shouldve just stuck to my guns and watched django unchained, a proper film
We who are about to moan salute you

Constituencies and Legislation: The Fight Over the McFadden Act of 1927
Raghuram G. Rajan

Forthcoming Management Science
The McFadden Act of 1927 was one of the most hotly contested pieces of legislation in U.S. banking history, and its influence was still felt over half a century later. The act was intended to force states to accord the same branching rights to national banks as they accorded to state banks. By uniting the interests of large state and national banks, it also had the potential to expand the number of states that allowed branching. Congressional votes for the act therefore could reflect the strength of various interests in the district for expanded banking competition. We find congressmen in districts in which landholdings were concentrated (suggesting a landed elite), and where the cost of bank credit was high and its availability limited (suggesting limited banking competition and high potential rents), were significantly more likely to oppose the act. The evidence suggests that while the law and the overall regulatory structure can shape the financial system far into the future, they themselves are likely to be shaped by well organized elites, even in countries with benign political institutions.

Aaron Dames writes for Divided Core.
As for the developed countries from which this corrupting ethos of progress goes out: more and more their "growthmania" distorts their environments and robs the world of its nonrenewable resources for no better end than to increase the output of ballistic missiles, electric hairdryers, and eight-track stereophonic tape recorders. But in the statistics of the economic index such mad waste measures out as "productivity," and all looks rosy.
-E.F. Schumacher, Small is Beautiful
During the State of Union address last week, President Barack Obama insinuated that Congress should grant him Fast Track authority (trade promotion authority that cannot be blocked by Congress) to make real the embryonic Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership (TPP) without directly referring to this nascent legislative monstrosity by name. He promised that, unlike previous trade agreements (such as NAFTA), the TPP would lead to domestic job creation, boost worker protections, and help the United States maintain its economic lead over China. … Read the rest

This definition alone already shows the bringing together and intertwining of archaeology, history and anthropology in order to piece together the scattered pieces of our past, hidden in our earth. It is the fact that we - the peoples of the today - are a result of the past, that gives our "back looking curiositie" as the great archaeologist William Camden defines it (Bahn, 2000)
However that definition alone is not enough to show how these three areas of discovery are related. In order to do this we must first look at what each discipline entails then looked at the interrelations between them.
"Back looking curiositie" would also be a good definition of the word 'history'. Coming from the Greek word 'historia', literally meaning 'inquiry', one may conclude that history is an inquiry into man's past, sparked off by curiosity. This inquiry may be carried out through many means, amongst them, written history, oral history and superstition. In fact, the Oxford Dictionary defines history as "continuous methodical record of public events". Yet these alone will not provide us with a chronologically clear picture of our past that we all yearn for, as writing only came about in the 8th century BC, oral history is rare and flaky due to bias, and the word superstition speaks for itself. Surely our curiosity wills us further back in time than that? This is where prehistory comes in, that is, the time in our past before writing came about, which we would not even be aware of had archaeology not existed.
Although archaeology started out as a mere 'hobby' (an expensive one too), a "scramble for curiosities" (Bahn, 1999), taken up by the eccentric and the...

Recent Changes on Google
For those who read this with an interest in SEO, I've noticed a few interesting changes on Google over the past week.
Firstly, Google seems to have tweaked the algo so that keyword domains have lost a little of their dominance. So just because "blue-widgets.com" is an established, if poorly built and promoted site, it no longer seems to have automatic rights to rank No.1 on searches for "blue widgets".
I've seen a couple of such domains – even strong ones – displaced from no.1 positions over the past few days, though I think Google appear hesitant to keep this up.
Secondly, I've seen a suggestion that underscores may finally be counting as spaces. I'm possibly mistaken on this, but a few days ago I ran a routine ranking check for "blue widgets" and noticed a listing apparently highlighted for "blue_widgets" in the URL – and that means the underscore was highlighted, not just the words. I didn't make a screenshot at the time, so there's room for observational error here, but I certainly know Google have called time on underscores being overlooked as spacers.
Thirdly – looks like Google's rebuilding its index and missing a few pages again. I've seen this before, especially where I've seen sites suddenly plummet for a keyword, only to rise again – Google couldn't find their main keyword page so instead was ranking a weak internal page for the keyword.
I'm seeing that at present on a Google search for "Brian Turner" – a keyword I give curiosity value to, but don't compete for against the TV chef of the same name. At present, ibrian.co.uk is down a few places, with the site index page not listed in the results, even though that's the key link target for "Brian Turner" – instead a lower listing for a couple of internal pages taking its place.
Either way, interesting to see that while Google remains in constant flux, at least there's nothing devastating – or threaten to devastate – any serious link development work as yet.
