Damiki Armor Shad Soft Jerkbait
Designed to dart and glide through the water, imitating a fleeing baitfish, the Damiki Armor Shad features a ribbed jerkbait body for a larger profile and increased flexibility. The Armor Shad is also loaded with scent for additional fish attraction, and its super soft plastic composition in conjunction with its ribbed texture, creates a lifelike feel that makes bass hold on longer. Available in a variety of colors, the Damiki Armour Shad is a versatile bait that has proven deadly for bass, as well as, many saltwater fish species.

Comments: I fish for smallmouth bass a lot on south holston lake. Let me say, this bait is a KILLER in winter time. If you fish 30 feet of water, watch your sonar, and vertical jig, you'll catch fish.
From: Ethan: Bristol,TN 1/22/17
Comments: I was given the 3" size while out on the lake from another boater all I can say is WOW I catch more then ever and I can fish with one Armor Shad almost all day the last guy said one per fish I say one Armor shad per 10 fish the way I fish it I might have a special clue about this but the small mouth and large mouth both love it now to find some spots
From: Bill: Knoxville, TN. USA
Comments: Saw this bait at a local tackle store and decided to give them a try. I didn't expect much, the bait looks like the average jerk bait. First time out caught several large bass including one that turned at the boat and broke my line, hugh! Have caught large bass on every trip! Only draw back is they tear easily. One bait per fish! I have only used the green pumkin color. Won't go fishing with out some.

Bernard Farrell obsesses over every bite he eats, every minute of exercise he gets, and everything that stresses him out. And, more than anything else, Farrell obsesses over his blood sugar.
He has to. Farrell, 55, has Type 1 diabetes.
"Pretty much everything affects our blood sugar," says Farrell, of Littleton, Mass.
So Farrell recently started using his phone to help him make sense of all the information he collects all day long. "I use a couple of pieces of software on my Android phone, mostly to track blood glucose readings, and also to help me figure out the number of carbohydrates in some food I might be eating," he said. "Because I have to know that in order to give myself the right amount of insulin."
The apps are among thousands that are flooding the market these days. Many are designed to help people take better care of themselves by, for example, counting calories and calculating body mass index.
Some apps, like Runkeeper and MapMyFitness, use the GPS tracker and the accelerometer in your smartphone to help with your exercise routine. Others help people look up symptoms, check drug side effects or locate. Some even measure blood pressure and blood sugar and send the readings off to the doctor.
"Mobile technology is a true game changer for health care," says Dr. Joseph C. Kvedar, founder of the Center for Connected Health in Boston. "It enables us to use that tiny computer in your hand to connect with you at any moment when we need to."
But does somebody need to check these things to make sure they work?
After all, we're not talking about apps that help you find a good restaurant or calculate your mortgage. These apps sometimes help make important decisions — sometimes life-and-death decisions.
"The ones that worry me are ones for instance where you can take an image of a skin lesion and then map it back to a database in the cloud and be told whether it should be evaluated for a melanoma or not," says Kvedar, a dermatologist by training. "It just seems a little scary right how to have software making decisions about moles."
Others calculate how much blood thinner to give heart attack patients, interpret blood tests in the emergency room — even help read X-rays, ultrasounds and CT scans.
As a result, the Food and Drug Administration has concluded that at least some apps should undergo review by the agency before being permitted on the market. "There are many mobile apps that are on the market that are medical devices," Dr. Jeffrey Shuren, who heads the FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "There are apps today that change a mobile platform into an EKG machine. When it's being used to diagnose patients, it's a medical device we believe subject to FDA oversight."
But Shuren stresses that the FDA has no plans to review most apps, such as those that help with wellness, healthier lifestyles. Same goes for thoseused to help patients manage their medical conditions. "The risk to patients are very, very low," he says.
Some app makers, however, say they can't be sure what's allowed. "The problem is now we live in this era of connected health where everything is being connected to everything else," said Bradley Merrill Thompson, a lawyer who represents some app makers. "So now that you've got this ecosystem where everything is connected to everything else. That's what creates this ambiguity with FDA."
Some worry that even the possibility of regulation will stifle innovation. "If FDA steps into this field it's going to create so much uncertainty for product developers that it's going to discourage a lot of investment and it's going to discourage a lot of programmers from getting into this space," said Dr. Scott Gottlieb of the American Enterprise Institute.
Shuren and other FDA officials said the agency is trying to walk a fine line between protecting patients without stifling innovation. By the end of the year, the agency hopes clarify how it will handle the explosion of mobile medical apps.

For the second time this year, the Managed Funds Association has decided to bar reporters from one of its events.
This time, the U.S.'s largest hedge fund lobbying group has reversed its 15-year policy of allowing reporters to attend its annual conference in Key Biscayne, Fla. The networking event is the MFA's largest annual get-together, and generally attracts less than a dozen members of the press.
As to why a group that has been harshly criticized for its secrecy and lack of transparency would respond with more secrecy and opacity, MFA marketing and communications director D. Brooke Harlow told Investment News, "there had been a couple of issues over the last two years."
She did not elaborate on what those issues were.
The decision to keep the press out was made by the MFA's staff and not its board, which includes prominent members of the alternative investments industry, Harlow said.
The Key Biscayne conference generally attracts between 600 and 700 attendees.
In October, the MFA banned reporters from attending a hedge fund leadership conference in New York. Barlow would not say whether the group plans to continue its media blackout for its MFA Forum in June. The Chicago meeting is its second-largest gathering of the year.
Another prominent hedge fund conference that has also barred reporters over the years in the annual GAIM Conference in Florida. Last year even saw a fun incident where Reuters reporter snuck in under the guise of being with the Reuter's marketing team that was sponsoring a table. He kept his cover for a few days and got some articles out of it, but he was escorted out by security on the last day.

On December 12, 2012, the Defense Logistics Agency – Energy (DLA-E), in close coordination with the Army Energy Initiatives Task Force (EITF), released a Request for Proposal (RFP) for electrical power from a biomass generation facility for up to 28 megawatts located on or contiguous to Fort Drum in Watertown, New York. The Solicitation, SP0600-13-R-0401, is posted on the Federal Business Opportunities website.
This is an open RFP for the Army to procure power through a Power Purchase Agreement (PPA) for bids up to 25 years for renewable energy to be purchased by Fort Drum. Under the PPA, the Army will only purchase the energy that is produced; no generation assets will be acquired. The selected contractor will finance, design, build, operate, own, and maintain the energy plants. All interested companies are encouraged to prepare a response to the solicitation, which closes on March 15, 2013.
A pre-proposal conference will be held in early 2013. This event will provide participants with a better understanding of the general procurement process and specific contract considerations, so they may provide a more comprehensive proposal addressing the Army's requirements. This event will also include a tour of the potential site. Details about the pre-proposal conference will be posted on the EITF website in the next few weeks.

"Luxury Housing" at the Corner of 33rd and Nowhere – What Makes This Orange Building Out in the Outer Richmond "Luxury"Friday, August 5th, 2016
Frisco City Attorney Dennis Herrera Goes After Lem-Ray Properties and Broker Chuck Post Over Section 8 Voucher DiscriminationWednesday, April 20th, 2016
Just released:
"Herrera seeks injunction to halt discrimination over Section 8 vouchers
City Attorney calls vouchers 'an essential tool for many San Franciscans to access affordable housing—especially in crisis like the one we are currently experiencing'
SAN FRANCISCO (April 20, 2016)—City Attorney Dennis Herrera is seeking a tough, enforceable court order to prevent a residential landlord and an affiliated real estate broker from continuing to flout the law by refusing to honor Section 8 vouchers. The motion for preliminary injunction filed in San Francisco Superior Court yesterday would require defendants Lem-Ray Properties, an affiliate of the once-high-flying Lembi real estate empire, and broker Chuck Post to immediately stop their unfair and illegal conduct and comply with the law.
"Housing vouchers are an essential tool for many San Franciscans to access affordable housing—especially in crisis like the one we are currently experiencing," said Herrera. "Lem-Ray Properties and their real estate broker's refusal to rent to tenants who rely on these vouchers discriminates against low-income communities. It's a terrible injustice at a time when city leaders are struggling desperately to preserve San Francisco's economic, social and cultural diversity."
The requested injunction follows a March 22 ruling by Judge Ronald E. Quidachay that denied the defendants' bid to dismiss Herrera's suit. The ruling affirmed San Francisco's local law that prohibits landlords from refusing to rent to tenants who intend to use federal housing vouchers.
Section 8 vouchers—so named for Section 8 of the Federal Housing Act, and also known as the Housing Choice Voucher Program—are administered locally by the San Francisco Housing Authority. The program allows low-income families to secure housing in the private rental market by requiring qualifying renters to pay thirty percent of their income toward rent, with Section 8 vouchers covering the remainder. The vouchers impose no additional costs on landlords, and landlords' refusal to accept them violates local law.
Lem-Ray is among the entities associated with the Lembi family's once expansive CitiApartments-Skyline Realty empire, which Herrera sued in 2006 for an array of lawless business and tenant harassment practices involving at least 30 properties. The defendant, which is still subject to the 2011 civil injunction Herrera secured in his five-year litigation battle, is among the landlords memorably dubbed "the Scumlords" in an award-winning 2006 exposé by investigative reporter G.W. Schulz. Schulz won first-place honors from the California Newspaper Publishers Association in 2007 for his San Francisco Bay Guardian series on tenant mistreatment by the Lembis, who at the time were among the largest residential property owners in the city. Chuck Post, also named in Herrera's civil suit, is a real estate broker whose ApartmentsinSF.com website and other online rental postings brazenly flouted local law by advertising that Section 8 vouchers would not be accepted as payment for Lem-Ray's residential apartments.
Under San Francisco law, property owners and real estate agents are prohibited from refusing to accept federal, state, or local housing subsidies as a form of rental payment, or to indicate in rental advertisements that housing subsidies will not be accepted as payment. Post and Lem-Ray are both alleged to have violated the local law, according to Herrera's complaint, together with provisions of the California Unfair Competition Law that prohibit unfair and unlawful business practices.
If successful, Herrera's lawsuit could secure civil penalties against Lem-Ray Properties of up to $6,000 for each violation of its 2011 court order, and civil penalties against both defendants of $2,500 for each violation of the state Unfair Competition Law. Both defendants could also be liable for three times the amount of a single month's rent in which the landlords charged for any unit in violation of the Police Code provision. Herrera is also seeking a permanent injunction against both parties to bar them from business practices in violation of state or local law.
The case is: City and County of San Francisco and People of the State of California v. Chuck M. Post, Lem-Ray Properties I DE, LLC et al., San Francisco Superior Court Case No. 548551, filed Oct. 21, 2015."
OMG, the New York Times Goes Long-Form re: Frisco Housing – 3500 Words on SFBARF et al – Conor Dougherty IS the Man from MarsSaturday, April 16th, 2016
Here you go:
"In Cramped and Costly Bay Area, Cries to Build, Baby, Build – An activist who calls her group BARF is pushing for more housing, pitting cranky homeowners and the political establishment against newcomers who want the region to make room for them, too. By CONOR DOUGHERTY, APRIL 16, 2016″
1. Conor Dougherty? Who's that? Let's do a call-and-response. CALL: Meet Conor
"Aging skateboarder and New York Times reporter, in that order. I heart
@CandaceJackson Oakland, CA"
RESPONSE: Hi Conor!
2. Conor is The Man From Mars – he's just like Tom Wolfe:
3. Mmmm:
San Francisco does not have enough places to live. Sonja Trauss, a local…
If this piece is about Frisco, Sonja Trauss certainly is not a "local." Like, her phone is from the 215 and she resides in the 510. It's kind of like this:
OTOH, if this piece is about the Bay Area, then I guess she could be described that way, except it seems to be about Frisco for the most part. Note the URL:
In any event, I'd change the first two words of the 3500(!) from "San Francisco" to "The Bay Area," you know, but that's just me, sry.
4. Hey, are we really talking about a "federation" here?
While only two years old, Ms. Trauss's Renters' Federation has blazed onto the political scene with youth and bombast and by employing guerrilla tactics…
No, not all! But I can confirm the bombast, always with the bombast:
Sonja Trauss, Grand Marshall at SF Bay Area Renters' Federation
One wonders if this kind of approach is effective. I'll tell you, I'm quite familiar with how pro-developer forces try to sway public opinion, if there's a lot of money to spend on one particular project. (That approach is not bombastic at all. You get somebody like Alex Tourk to work his magic. This costs big big bucks, of course.) OTOH, there's not a lot of money swashing around these days to pay for a general BUILD BUILD BUILD movement, hence the bombast. One continues to wonder if this kind of approach is effective. One suspects it's not effective. (AT ALL. Oh well.)
5. Check this…
In January, for instance, she hired a lawyer to go around suing suburbs for not building enough.
… and then check out last graf in the NYT. Nice stinger, Conor!
6. And while we're on this topic, I'll note that Junius & Rose partner Andrew J. Junius was the lawyer who was involved with this suit against Lafayette, CA last year, but then things didn't work out, for whatever reason. And then, in December 2015:
SFBARF now has an ad on craigslist, trying to hire an attorney to handle this lawsuit.
And now Sonja has a new attorney? Good for her, $75 well spent. But I'll just note that a good lawsuit would never be the topic of a law school exam like this, you know, because it would be too easy for test-takers. No no, you want to test students about crazy lawsuits – that's the ticket. Or "novel," I guess that's the less pejorative term…
7. Wow, what a photo! It's the opposite of a snapshot. I'll caption it: "'Grand Marshall' Sonja Trauss suddenly turns her head and wonders, once again, if she has mice nibbling at her baseboards." Good timez.
8. Now this, this is insanity:
Donald Dewsnup, was arrested and charged with voter fraud — a move that Ms. Trauss claims is political retaliation. "There's no other explanation for why the district attorney of a major city would investigate and charge one person for registering at an inaccurate address," she said.
Well, here's your background, from locally-beloved KevMo in Vice. And I'll tell you, the DA had dead-bang prima facie evidence direct from Donald Dewsnup himself. So this "no other explanation" crap isn't "smart" (to use one of the 3500 words), not at all. And I'll tell you, District Attorney George Gascon was appointed by Developer-supporting Gavin Newsom, and the DA and SFBARF both endorse a similar roster of candidates, so why would the DA "retaliate" against someone who loudly supported and, allegedly, apparently, possibly, illegally voted for D3 Supervisor Julie Christensen? BTW, was Julie Christensen endorsed, IIRC, by George Gascon? He himself is a "Moderate," right? Anyway, the DA's investigators looked into things and now we have this prosecution. Indeed, there are OTHER EXPLANATIONS as to why SFBARFer Donald Dewsnup got charged with so many felonies, sry.
9. What what?
Kim-Mai Cutler, a reporter at the TechCrunch news site who has gone on to help found a communal-living start-up called Roam…
News to me. Thx, NYT!
10. Hey, thanks for commenting upon:
City Hall, with its Beaux-Arts architecture…
Indeed. The highest classical done in the Western Hemisphere! Higher than even our US Capitol. (By just a tiny, tiny amount. On purpose.)
11. Yep yep:
Nobody seemed to get it.
KISS = Keep It Simple, Smarty. What general populace might notice is a self-indulgent, 12-person circle jerk. So, people don't even understand your "clever" antics? Ha ha! They must be a bunch of loosers, right? Once again, one questions the effectiveness. I mean, does SFBARF have any victories yet? Oh, they're just around the corner? (No they're not, but anyway…)
12. I'm LOL-ing on all the lines about "Erotic Service Provider" Starchild.
"'Prostitute' is O.K. as long as it's said in a respectful way."
13. Hey, is Jeremy Stoppelman srsly here?
"When I think about all those college grads signing up to work for companies like Yelp, I think it's a very difficult place to live and get started."
I'll just note this recent news:
The Yelp employee who wasn't making enough money to eat
Does Jeremy think paying his sock puppets / flying monkeys $10k is an act of charity? IDK. But isn't it ironic?
Dontcha think?
14. Hey, who in this graf has some serious serious rent control in Frisco?
Gabriel Metcalf, executive director of SPUR, an urban policy research organization. "What's the matter with San Francisco? Why is it that in a city that's two-thirds renters we have adopted a housing policy that is horrible for renters?"
To repeat, isn't it ironic? Dontcha think?
Or it's worth nothing, anywho.
So, that's off the top of me head.
I'd just like to thank Conor Dougherty…
…for explaining our tiny planet to the world. We need coverage like this, IMO.
So please, MSM. More long-form coverage like this.
Turns Out That the Best Way to Fill Up the Parking Lot at the Horrible LUCKY PENNY Diner was SHUTTING THE PLACE DOWNMonday, February 22nd, 2016
Here's the lot of our former LUCKY PENNY ("People Hate Us On YELP!") as it is these days:
Man, the only time I've seen as many cars here was that week in December when news got out that the joint was going kaput. (Otherwise, this place was like a ghost town in the daytime…)
So now this parcel of land can fulfill its highest and best purpose – as a parking lot for neighboring Trader Joe's #100:
Good times.
Hey, are people living inside the Lucky Penny, our Brokedown Palace these days? IDK. But what are the people in there doing?
Oh well.
Just 14 Points About Kara Swisher's Fawning Interview / Prop F Victory Lap with Airbnb CEO Brian CheskyMonday, November 30th, 2015
Here you go, a podcast from yesterday:
November 29, 2015 | Re/code Decode, hosted by Kara Swisher – Brian Chesky, Airbnb CEO; Holiday Gift Guide
"Airbnb CEO Brian Chesky talks with Kara Swisher about the attacks in Paris, raising "a couple billion" and the future of…"
Start at 14:00:
- No Airbnb, you can't really say you had a recent "victory" in SF. A pyrrhic victory, maybe. (But your $8+ million helped to defeat Prop F, I'll concede that.)
- "It's hard to be a tech company in SF." What on Earth does this mean? Why don't you leave then, if things are so, so hard (but not really, not IRL) here?
- Oh, so using SF's direct democracy ballot system when, as in this case, we have regulatory capture of the $F Democratic Party (and other$) is not only immature but "ridiculously immature?" Again, one wonders why Airbnb chose to come here to this horrible, horrible place.
- In regard to the "Airbnb Law," didn't Airbnb meet with then-Supervisor David Chiu something on the order of sixty (60) (!) times to craft regs as favorable to Airbnb as practically possible? I think so. Am I wrong on this? David Chiu was/is a partner of Airbnb, non? David Chiu is now in the Assembly thanks, in part, to Airbnb, non? So that's what some people mean by the term Airbnb Law. (And incidentally, it was/is an unworkable mess, with a very low compliance rate, so far.)
- No, Airbnb, Prop F would not have "ban[ned] in-law units."
- No, Airbnb, Prop F would not "have created a private right of action," for the simple reason that Prop F didn't pass and yet San Franciscans have a private right of action right now.
- Let's stop now to ponder – does Kara Swisher know any of this stuff? She's not up-to-speed, apparently, or she is and she wants to conduct a fawning interview. I'll tell you, so far so good, KS. Mission accomplished.
- Does one need to be "against Airbnb" to approve of regulating Airbnb?
- "Even the San Francisco Chronicle…" I don't know what this means. Was this editorial from the Publisher a surprise? Not at all. Also note that the Chron calls for changes to the regs cooked up by Airbnb and David Chiu…
- "[T]here's this notion that we aren't paying our share of taxes." Well, here's where that comes from. How much in hotel taxes should Airbnb have remitted as opposed to the mystery amount that it actually did – well, that's not really knowable from outside of Airbnb.
- "We're not jerks." So why not explain what happened with the bus ads? Your choice, Airbnb. Are the people down in Socal who made the ads jerks? What did you do, just throw money around and say, oh don't bother us, just make a contract with ClearChannel after you run it by a solitary Airbnber – that'll be fine. We like surprises! And of course, this ad campaign was totally totally independent of anything having to do with Prop F. Of course.
- "Volunteers" knocking on 285,000 doors? Weren't some of those "volunteers" actually paid, like with cash money? Yep. You want to get into this? We can get into this.
- Reference to "party houses." I don't think this issue was addressed. Or Airbnb Hotel, neither – these We Heart Airbnb podcast people didn't have time to get into these things. I guess they were too busy with the "Holiday Gift Guide," IDK.
- And what's this – "I think the vast, vast majority of people are renting the homes they live in." So what's that as a number, is it 51%? IDK. Doesn't Airbnb know this stat for San Francisco, like down to five significant digits? I think so. And how about this – most Airbnb units in SF are being rented out by people who rent out multiple Airbnb units. Is that true? Isn't that a problem?
I think we're at 24:00 now, so that's ten minutes of audio for you to listen to.
(I don't think I could have handled much more anyway.)
I leave you with this – here's how one City Hall insider viewed things last summer:
"After Mayor Lee and the Board of Supervisors screwed up short-term rental legislation not once but twice, voters now face a choice: keep current law or replace it with Prop F. Those upset over "ballot box planning" should blame City Hall for not enacting the handful of changes that would have either prevented Prop F from going to the ballot or ensured its defeat."
Airbnb don't want no Prop F, so one assumes it's all prepared for City Hall to take a fresh look at this regulatory mess (that Airbnb helped create) come 2016. Fine.
Oh, and just One More Thing:
Sometimes when you win, you also lose…

Largish boxes in The Sand Waste,
Largish boxes made of ticky tacky,
Largish boxes on the sand dunes,
Largish boxes all the same.
There's a yellow one and a pink one
And a white one and a green one,
And they're all made out of ticky tacky
And they all look just the same.

Scientists found that students who shouted expletives were able to keep their hands in a bucket of ice water longer than those who stuck to more polite terms. The finding suggests swearing may dull pain by triggering certain emotions.

Actually more like a fresh relish, variations of this salad are served throughout Thailand, Burma, Laos, Vietnam and Cambodia. Always served in small portions, some recipes contain mint, others cilantro; some use lime juice, others rice, white or cider vinegar; some are topped with chopped toasted peanuts, others with fiercely potent red pepper. All, though, use the fresh, tart taste of the cucumber as a basic way of cleansing the palate, complimenting the overall experience of the meal. Play around with different proportions and try varying the ingredients. I have to admit that as many times as I've made this salad, I doubt I've ever made it exactly the same way twice.
1. Peel the cucumber. Quarter it lengthwise, and remove the seeds. Cut the quarters into 1/4 inch thick pieces. Lightly salt them and leave to drain in a colander for 15 to 30 minutes.
2. Squeeze the lime juice into a small bowl. Mix in all remaining ingredients except the sesame seeds.
3. Dry the cucumbers and mix together with the dressing. Chill for 5 to 10 minutes before serving. Serve with the reserved sesame seeds on top.

Nick Faust considered the question only briefly before delivering as concise and optimistic an answer as could be expected from the sophomore. After Maryland again dropped below .500 in ACC play with its 79-68 loss to North Carolina, suffering just its third home loss this season, what must the Terrapins do to reach the NCAA tournament?
"I hope we win the ACC tournament," Faust said.
But do you need to?
"I guess, I mean I don't know. I hope we do."
Such is the current uncertainty surrounding Maryland, whose players still hold onto faint hopes of a March Madness bid. Needing a solid final week against North Carolina and Virginia to bolster its resume, the Terps instead dropped 12 RPI spots from 71st during pregame to 83rd by the final buzzer, according to WarrenNolan.com's "Nitty Gritty Report," which updates live each night.
Here's where the Terps stand: First they travel to face Virginia on Sunday at John Paul Jones Arena, where zero ACC opponents have won this season. Then comes the conference tournament, where Maryland is currently in line for the No. 6 seed, which would mean a first-round matchup against Wake Forest, given that Clemson holds the tiebreaker over the Demon Deacons for the No. 10 seed. Win that, and it's onto the quarterfinals to face the third seed – currently North Carolina.
Late Wednesday night, SI.com's Andy Glockner tweeted that "Maryland now looks like it has to win its next four, or the four after that. #startingtodrawdead." That would mean either running the table in the ACC tournament after losing to Virginia or reaching the conference championship game, if the Terps score their third ACC road win this season.
"I feel like we have to do really good," Dez Wells said. "I don't want to put any pressure on my team by saying that, but I feel like we need to do really good. We all know that. But just take it one game at a time."
>> In starting James Padgett and Logan Aronhalt on senior night, Coach Mark Turgeon fielded his 13th and oldest lineup this season, the first time that only two underclassmen have started. Aronhalt, who rimmed out an early three-point attempt and never found his shooting groove, started for just the second time this season (South Carolina State).
>> Along with Padgett and Aronhalt, the Terps also honored team managers John Webster, Ricardo Rush and Mike Zawitoski. While Padgett and Aronhalt received framed jerseys, the managers got framed Gatorade towels.
>> Juan Dixon was the evening's honorary captain. He's also on Twitter now.
Blessed and honored to be the Honorary Captain at tonight's game..Wouldn't be here without #TerpNation
— Juan Dixon (@Juan_Dixon3) March 7, 2013
>> 2014 SF Dwayne Morgan (St. Frances Academy) took in the game with AAU coach Dwayne Wise. The 6-foot-8 four-star prospect will announce his decision on April 5, and recently trimmed his list to five: Maryland, UNLV, Arizona, Georgetown and Connecticut, according to National Recruiting Spotlight.
>> A stocked student section brought the ruckus again, returning some of the dance moves and songs debuted against Duke. They also unfurled a massive Maryland flag that spanned two student sections along "The Wall."
— Loss to Heels puts Maryland on the ropes.
— Mark Turgeon gets endorsement from Roy Williams.
— Terps frustrated after loss.
— Heels successfully go small.

PPP-42 ETSU Health and Safety Program
In an effort to improve the overall working environment and to provide, insofar as possible, every working person in the nation safe and healthful working conditions, the Federal Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970 was enacted. This Act provided an opportunity for the various states to develop their own Occupational Safety and Health Programs. In Tennessee this was accomplished by the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1972. The Tennessee Department of Labor is responsible for administering the Act.
The primary purpose of the ETSU Health and Safety Program is to assure a safe and healthful working/learning environment, free from all recognized hazards that might cause serious injury or death, for all segments of the University community. This will be accomplished primarily by integrating an effective safety and health program into the normal operation of campus activities. To accomplish this, a vigorous program of education, enforcement, and evaluation to identify and eliminate conditions of actions which create an unsafe environment will be undertaken. Needless to say, the program's effectiveness will depend largely upon the cooperation and active participation of the people it protects and serves, i.e., the University community.
The Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Act serves as the basis for the ETSU Health and Safety Program. Specific University programs that have been developed to assist in meeting State requirements include:
ETSU Bloodborne Pathogen Exposure Control Program
ETSU Chemical Hygiene Plan
ETSU Disaster Preparedness Plan
ETSU Hazardous Waste Management Guide
ETSU Institutional AIDS Policy
ETSU Smoking Policy.
The ETSU Health and Safety program is applicable to East Tennessee State University, the Quillen College of Medicine and the Medical Education Assistance Corporation.
The State of Tennessee Public Employee, Safety and Health Protection on the Job poster, will be the authorized means of informing employees about their rights under the Tennessee Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1972. Each department will be responsible for ensuring the poster is displayed in a conspicuous location for their area. Posters are available from the Health and Safety Office.
The University Safety Committee is responsible for recommending policies and programs to ensure a safe environment for students, staff, faculty and visitors on campus. The Committee actively reviews and monitors the campus on an on-going basis to ensure that policies, procedures and facilities are in compliance with federal, state and/or local code requirements.
Good housekeeping plays an important role in the efficient and safe functioning of any organization. Everyone involved can assist in this important endeavor. It is, however, the direct responsibilities of supervisors, and classroom/laboratory instructors to ensure that good housekeeping procedures are continually practiced within their respective areas of responsibility. Particular attention will be given the following:
Departments that use glassware, must develop procedures to handle all glassware safely and ensure that all employees and/or students are informed of these procedures. Areas that should be addressed include:

It looks like you're new here. If you want to get involved, click one of these buttons!
As much as many of us clamor for something new and innovative in the MMO genre, we are similarly repelled by the 'newness' of it all. In our latest Pokket Says column, we take a look at that and opine that trying something new isn't always a bad thing. Keep reading and then add your voice to the conversation in the comments.
There are also plenty of games in the genre that try to be a lot different, like TSW and Darkfall. I know a lot of people that had a hard time getting into TSW for various reasons (clunky gameplay, didn't like their skill based system, didn't like the graphics, didn't like the combat, didn't like the questing, etc). There were other reasons, as well, but a lot of those reasons basically add up to "it's something different and new and I'm just not a big fan of it." Then they go back to WoW, SW:TOR, GW2, etc. Darkfall was another story, a few people liked it, but it was buggy and had some issues it needed to work through (so much so that, instead of fixing it, they are making a new game completely).
Read more of Hillary Nicole's Pokket Says: Try Something New.
Yeah, I know TSW is hard to understand for the average MMO player. I had no problems with it, hey I play X-COM and EvE. Perhaps they should add a tutorial. Also starter decks are coming for the ones who don´t like to read and figure out ability synergies, which is in fact a highly interesting minigame by itself. Again, nothing for easymode players. There is too much casual stuff on the market anyway.
Nobody is repeled by newness...
They just dont want stupid. They dont want their hand held like a little kid. Just because a game does something new doesnt mean that it is something good and everybody should love it. I dont see where you get your idea of people not liking new things. Maybe you need some better friends, or friends that are ACTUALLY gamers.
Like your article, theres not much to say on the point.

No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
I play all the new games al lthe time and so far i have not seen NEW in many years.So many devs think i am an idiot that they have some new twist but in reality ,just the same old.
Just a few examples of al lthe copying>>>>Markers to tel lyou where to go and what NPC has a quest,totally unrealistic from a role playing standpoint.Xp/levels should represent an aging process but instead it is done as an indication to how many quests you have done,again VERY unrealsitic and imo totally stupid.We even see games offer xp for other goofy ideas like you craft and become a higher level mage.
Your MAGE level should be from acting out as a mage ,using your mage abilities,not from crafting or running an NPC errand.
There is so much to talk about,i simply can't get into it,gaming has tons of ideas,it is a matter of a ONE good dev putting the best all together in one game.What i have seen is every game comes up with one idea and thinks they have created a new game.I think these guys take all of one hour to think of their next game design.
So when i finally see a game worthy of being called NEW i will most certainly jump all over it.What i think has happened to ruin this genre is the massive advertising that sites are all grabbing at.Theyu take ANY game at all and claim it to be AWESOME/GREAT just to kiss ass the developer.
When we start calling cheap game design a SPADE as should be,then and only hten developers will begin to put out a better effort,an effort we all should expect.
Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

Once you hit endgame its "world of cthulhucraft" - sadly.
Worth playing for a couple of months though.
TsW has monthly episodes and ongoing stories. Skip the endgame if you don't like it. You will miss out on the best dungeons ever created in the history of MMO.
Still better than "no endgame" like in a recent insanely overhyped title with "jump puzzles"
Because pokket,developers dont like to remake things and make them shine.They want to produce new garbage every year.
Final fantasy remake never happened ultima online remake never happened.
The only remake happened was x com and it was worth it a lot.

No matter how cynical you become, its never enough to keep up - Lily Tomlin
The "differences" in any of the new mmo's I've tried the last couple of years haven't been differences that made the game any more fun, and often less so. If there is nothing other than combat to do and you level fast so that you can do dailies or the same dungeons over and over for a set amount of tokens, then it's not enough for my play style no matter how new and different.
I've just about given up on trying the new MMO's as they're definitely not aimed at me. If there isn't housing at release (once I've left I won't return for housing later), decent crafting, something else to do that enhances community (LotRO's music system, SWG's cantina), and some slower leveling than I'm not likely to bother. I'm not necessarily looking for new features. I need the things I love all rolled into one MMO.
when it comes to progression in tsw it is sadly like in so many other games..burn through content and instances till you get into "endgame". then collect tier-x equip. comparing stats or posting the main stat for your desired role (dd, tank, heal) is the new epeen and while running instances and collecting equip you can also collect more AP and SP and learn new roles or just spread out in yours. ultimately you can fulfill everything that the group needs "we cant find a tank" "ok, look for a dd then, got a tankbuild, too"
The genre is going to get better. There are some issues that make the evolution of the genre too slow, it is quite expesive to develop a new game, so companies avoid to risk with innovative mechanics. They just try to improve what have worked in the past, This is not neccesary bad, but slows changes a lot.
Another issue is the fact that every new game have less content than older games. Now players have many games to choice, we have not enough patient to wait for patches or expansions so we change to the next game before the game reach its real potencial.
But I think there will be surprises in the future. When some of the new games with new ideas became succes (Archeage, Pathfinder online, citadel of sorcery or any other I havent discover yet...) then other developers realise that innovating is one of the best way to became profitable.
Play something new...
Uh huh. Every time I play something new, it reminds me why I'm playing something old.
People not knowing how to add up their progression in the game and, to me, that is a big deal (should I talk more on this next week?).
No. That doesn't really interest me. I don't feel the need to compare myself to others in terms of level or gear. Maybe when I was 12 or 13 that would have been important to me but nowadays I couldn't care less. I've seen level-capped players with awesome gear do wonders and others just suck. In most MMOs, level capping and gear is a result of persistence rather than actual skill.
I'm trying out something new for me, its called Mortal Online. Its been out for couple of years, although from what I hear they aren't adding new content but they are fixing the current content. Its a First person, with mounts etc and has a lot of pvp, pve has been added to it also. It might not be a fantastic game, infact from what I read there are a lot of unhappy people with Mortal online, likely to be trolls but I will sure find out my self after the trial. For the past few weeks I have been looking to try out new/current MMOs which are different from the usual common ones such as Rift, swtor and ofc WoW.
If you want my advice don't ask or look for opinions of a game which you are thinking of trying, just take a look for your self and it might be the one for you, if not then try another game and again
She's discussing a feeling / experience that she see's in the gaming circle she loves to be a part of.. What's wrong with making articles on those thoughts?
But the answer to her question is simple...
In the old days we knew back then that 99% of your game is your interface.. Not sure if these generation of developers know this, or can control it... Too much artsy fartsy in control of development and not much good work for interface/playability.
Sadly games are not just story.. But yet they are, if you catch my drift. They have also been linearized into boring tasks that make it seem like work more than entertainment due to satisfying the needs of the companies owners support/design requests.
So to answer the question is easy, games today just suck
Mike Cackle
Eventually there will be a game that is released that changed the genre as a whole?
Yes.. well not change it... return it to its core roots.. With new IP though of course. And end the "bad" linear design that strips fun from games.
Mike Cackle
nice post
is time to back to skyrim, torchlight etc.. let the experts work in the next gen
I will give most new games a try. I played tsw for 3 months, there was a lot I liked about it the story lines and the combat, the main problem with tsw was the grind for the aa wheel and the fact you had to repeat all the content every 3 days.
Then I gave swtor 6 months, actually played 3 of those the other 3 they got my money for free. SWTOR failed in so many areas.
I tried the beta for tera, and instantly hated it. GW2 made by Anet and I would never give them a chance. Same for rift tried the beta tried it 3 different times after it went live, rift is just not for me.
TESO I am at a wait and see on that one.
Trying something new for me is easy, actually finding something new that I like is hard. I have went back to EQ2.

FDA clears next-generation sequencer for routine medical care
For the first time,
the U.S. Food and Drug Administration has cleared a next-generation sequencer for use in clinical laboratories, advancing the use of genomic medicine in routine medical care.
FDA announced
the regulatory clearance on Nov. 19, 2013, authorizing the clinical use of Illumnia MiSeq DX, a sequencing machine that traces its roots by to research projects funded by the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), a component of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), but which previously has only been used for research.
"The marketing authorization for the first next-generation genome sequencer represents a significant step forward in the ability to generate genomic information that will ultimately improve patient care," wrote NIH Director Francis S. Collins, M.D., Ph.D., and FDA Commissioner Margaret A. Hamburg, M.D., in a Perspective article in
The New England Journal of Medicine
published on the same day that FDA authorized the next-gen sequencer.
FDA authorized four diagnostic tests for high throughput gene sequencing, including two assays for cystic fibrosis looking at specific mutations that cause the inherited disorder. The test uses a drop of the patient's blood that then compares specific parts of the patient's genome to the Human Genome Build 19, the reference sequence that evolved out of the Human Genome Project. To evaluate its methodology, Illumina tested its instrument and reagent systems by comparing it to a publicly available reference sequence that was developed by FDA and the National Institutes of Standards and Technology (NIST).
FDA also approved the first test system based on two devices - the Illumina MiSeqDx instrument and the reagents in the Illumina Universal Kit - to allow laboratories to develop and validate sequencing of any part of the patient's genome.
"The FDA's review of the MiSeqDx and sequencer and Universal Kit reagents provides clinical laboratories with information about the expected performance of the device and the quality of the results," said Alberto Gutierrez, Ph.D., director of the Office of In Vitro Diagnostics and Radiological Health in FDA's Center for Devices and Radiological Health. "This information was not previously available for next generation sequencers, and, with this platform, labs can develop tests for clinical use with greater confidence because they use FDA authorized devices."
Illumina MiSeqDx instrument platform, Universal Kit reagents, MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis 139-Variant Assay, and MiSeqDx Cystic Fibrosis Clinical Sequencing Assay are manufactured by Illumina, Inc. in San Diego, Calif.
In a statement
, NIH Director Collins said:
"The availability of high-throughput DNA sequencers will enable physicians to take a comprehensive look at a patient's genetic blueprint, or genome, to search for a wide range of variations or changes that increase risk of disease, drive the disease process, and/or affect response to medications and other treatments. Such information has the potential to benefit patients in many ways. For example, an oncologist might use results of a sequencing scan to choose the chemotherapy drug that is most likely to work.
"This action reflects our nation's commitment to a future in which health-care professionals will be able to use each person's unique genetic information to provide more precise ways of detecting, treating, and preventing disease."

5-Tool Sports Training Center
At 5-Tool Sports Training Center's 7,000 square-foot, air-conditioned facility, David Collings—a former scholarship player at Andrew College and the University of West Georgia—leads a team of specialized instructors whose collective experience includes minor-league play and collegiate-level coaching. Together the team shapes young baseball players with results-oriented clinics, including a pitching program designed after those used by major-league franchises and the Chinese national team. Other sessions range from summer camps that cover all aspects of the game to position-specific clinics, such as introductory and advanced catching with Mike Day––a four-time College World Series catcher who went on to play with the Montreal Expos.
To keep their skill set sharp, athletes can schedule time in one of four 55-foot hitting cages, two of which boast Iron Mike pitching machines or two dedicated pitching lanes. Private instruction gives kids individualized feedback, and a video-analysis room allows them to see the errors in their swing or the understated chicness of swapping out a cap for a beret.

This project will explore the regulatory system that controls progression through the stages of the eukaryotic cell division cycle. Cell-cycle progression is governed by an important class of protein kinases called the cyclin- dependent kinases or Cdks. In the proposed studies, biochemical and molecular genetics approaches will be used in the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae to address the mechanisms by which Cdks control progression through the final stages of cell division - with an emphasis on the roles of protein substrates that are phosphorylated by Cdks in the cell. In the previous funding period, large numbers of candidate Cdk substrates were identified and characterized, and future work will address the function of selected targets in the control of two major processes: chromosome segregation in mitosis and cell division in cytokinesis.
The first aim centers on the Cdk substrate Eco1, which promotes the cohesion of sister chromatids as they are synthesized in S phase. Previous work revealed that Eco1 is inhibited after S phase by Cdk1-mediated phosphorylation, which triggers Eco1 destruction via the ubiquitin ligase SCF-Cdc4.
The first aim of the current proposal is to obtain a comprehensive understanding of Eco1 regulation by phosphorylation, both by Cdk1 and by another protein kinase, Cdc7, that was uncovered as an Eco1 regulator in preliminary studies.
The second aim of the proposed work will be to understand the regulatory mechanisms that control the initiation of cytokinesis, with a focus on how the dephosphorylation of several Cdk1 substrates helps govern the assembly and function of the contractile ring that drives the division of the cell. The information gained from these studies will provide important new insights into the control of cell-cycle progression, and will thereby enhance our understanding of diseases, such as cancer, in which cell-cycle control or chromosome segregation is defective.
When a cell reproduces, the chromosomes are first duplicated and then distributed into a pair of daughter cells. Errors in this process can result in genetic damage or defects in chromosome number, which can accelerate cancer progression or cause developmental defects. The proposed studies focus on a class of proteins, called cyclin-dependent kinases, that are the master regulators of the steps in cell division. These studies will lead to a better understanding of how errors in chromosome behavior and cell division can arise in human disease.

The following is taken directly from http://www.buddhanet.net/e-learning/8foldpath.htm
The Path
1. Samma-Ditthi — Complete or Perfect Vision, also translated as right view or understanding. Vision of the nature of reality and the path of transformation.
2. Samma-Sankappa — Perfected Emotion or Aspiration, also translated as right thought or attitude. Liberating emotional intelligence in your life and acting from love and compassion. An informed heart and feeling mind that are free to practice letting go.
3. Samma-Vaca — Perfected or whole Speech. Also called right speech. Clear, truthful, uplifting and non-harmful communication.
4. Samma-Kammanta — Integral Action. Also called right action. An ethical foundation for life based on the principle of non-exploitation of oneself and others. The five precepts.
5. Samma-Ajiva — Proper Livelihood. Also called right livelihood. This is a livelihood based on correct action the ethical principal of non-exploitation. The basis of an Ideal society.
6. Samma-Vayama — Complete or Full Effort, Energy or Vitality. Also called right effort or diligence. Consciously directing our life energy to the transformative path of creative and healing action that fosters wholeness. Conscious evolution.
7. Samma-Sati — Complete or Thorough Awareness. Also called "right mindfulness". Developing awareness, "if you hold yourself dear watch yourself well". Levels of Awareness and mindfulness - of things, oneself, feelings, thought, people and Reality.
8. Samma-Samadhi — Full, Integral or Holistic Samadhi. This is often translated as concentration, meditation, absorption or one-pointedness of mind. None of these translations is adequate. Samadhi literally means to be fixed, absorbed in or established at one point, thus the first level of meaning is concentration when the mind is fixed on a single object. The second level of meaning goes further and represents the establishment, not just of the mind, but also of the whole being in various levels or modes of consciousness and awareness. This is Samadhi in the sense of enlightenment or Buddhahood. The word Samma means 'proper', 'whole', 'thorough', 'integral', 'complete', and 'perfect' - related to English 'summit' - It does not necessarily mean 'right', as opposed to 'wrong'. However it is often translated as "right" which can send a less than accurate message. For instance the opposite of 'Right Awareness' is not necessarily 'Wrong". Awareness'. It may simply be incomplete. Use of the word 'right' may make for a neat or consistent list of qualities in translations. The down side is that it can give the impression that the Path is a narrow and moralistic approach to the spiritual life. I use variant interpretations so you consider the depth of meanings. What do these things mean in your life right now?
