How to turn bounces to boomerangs!
Are your bounce rates extremely high? Does Google Analytic's show that people are only spending a very short time on your site before leaving? Loyalty rates low? As a web-master if you face any of these issues, read on for some tips on how to overcome them:
Have some "me" time
Link to your site – on your site. The more links your website includes to the pages on your site the better. The simple logic behind it is this, when these links are clicked, they lead to another area of your site. This means people will be hanging around longer, seeing what else there is to see rather than being lead off to other places online or simply leaving altogether.
Opt for quality over quantity
What would you rather:
(a) thousands of visitors daily who stumble onto your site & realise they have been duped by your misleading ad causing them to instantly leave and grumble about wasted online browsing (which would result in high CTRs, virtually no conversions and an extremely high bounce rate).
(b) a consistent amount of daily visitors who spend a little longer on your site browsing and hopefully converting?
The point of this rhetorical question is relevance. A person wanting to buy household goods for interior design, finding your site through an ad suggesting household goods for interior design before discovering what you actually sell are gardening products, will leave. You may be happy about a high CTR but remember, you are paying for every click in a CPC campaign and every thousand impressions in a CPM one; be specific.
Avoid mazes, nobody likes those
The origins of the internet arguably date back to the 19th century, yet 2 centuries later people still create websites with awful navigability leaving the average web surfer frustrated enough to give up searching for whatever it is they wanted on that particular site and going elsewhere. If you want people to stay, you must make each section of your site clear and easy to get to, it wouldn't matter if you had the most wonderful web content available if people didn't know it was there.
Get the right look
Using Google Adsense is one great way to bring some extra revenue. When people come to your site and you have too many ads, links to here & there, misspellings, dodgy looking logo's/pictures, flashing animations and the like…they leave. These things are annoying and really count towards (or in this case against) customer confidence. Try Google's 'website optimiser' – a tool that allows you to test different versions of your site to help decide what the best version is.
Incentives and interaction
Incorporate things into your site that people want to spend time doing, this could include anything from quizzes, polls, questions, comments areas, forums, things to rate, games etc (I could keep listing things but I think you get the point).
Good luck! :-)

I look forward to you comments and questions on this research on the Origins of the Saxons.
The mysterious origins of the Saxons before they had merged with the Angles to become Anglo Saxons is somewhat of a mystery. A connection I have found is related to a Scythian tribe called the Sacae or Sakas and another long lost tribe known in ancient times as the the Wusuns. These two tribes would later merge to then be called the Sacae-Sun or Sako-Usuni, and more commonly known today as the "Saxons." The same Saxons who several centuries later would later merge in Britain, Ireland and Scotland with many more tribes such as the Angles and Picts to become known today as one tribe, the Anglo-Saxons.
It was during the the 7th century B.C. in ancient Central Asia in approximately what is now modern day Turkestan and China, that here were various ancient peoples who had lived in this region that were certainly not the original inhabitants. There are various historical accounts of foreign tribes that tell us the names of the people who occupied this region. In Chinese literature you will find such names for these tribes as the Wu- Suns (Usuns), Jiankuns, Yuechis (Yuezhi or Yue-Tchi), and Se.
The Tall Ones Known as the Wu Suns Come Into Central Asia – "Barbarians who have green eyes and red hair."
The Wusun (pronounced Oo-soon) whose home was originally in the northwest of China were described in the 7th century commentary to the Hanshu by Yan Shigu , "Among the various Rong in the Western Regions, the Wusun's shape was the strangest; and the present barbarians who have green eyes and red hair, and are like macaques, belonged to the same race as the Wusun." Another description of the Wu Sun can also be found in the book, "Marching Sands" by Harold Lamb, "The ancient Chinese annals," observed Sir Lionel" observed Sir Lionel tolerantly, "state that the Wusun, the 'Tall Ones,' were formidable fighters. The Sacae or Scythians from whom they are descended were one of the conquering races of the world. It is this heritage of strength which has preserved the remnant of the Wusun—for us to find."
Another account I found says, "Xinjiang, showing the site of Mongghul Kiira (near the Hi [Yili] River), the approximate Wusun territory – The Alans, Ammianus writes, were "tall and handsome [and] their hair inclines to be blond" (31.2.2; see Rolfe 1939, 3:391).
The description given to us in Wikipedia says, " The Wusuns were either an Indo-European speaking or Turkic speaking nomadic or semi-nomadic steppe people who, the Chinese histories say originally lived in western Gansu in northwest China, near the Yuezhi people. After being defeated by the Xiongnu (circa 176 BCE) they fled to the region of the Ili river and (lake) Issyk Kul where they remained for at least five centuries and formed a powerful force."
Historical records also give us proof of this powerful force of the Wusuns had went to battle with the Yuechis; "The Yue-Tchi, repulsed by the Wu-Suns in 130 B. C, hurled themselves upon Bactria" (see the notes to p. 119 : 13). "The Sacx were then masters of it and their dispossession resulted in pressing them in part into India where they founded a kingdom and also in part into the Pro-Pamirian valleys, especially that of the Oxus. The Yue-Tchi ruled over central Asia until 425 A. D. They were dispossessed in their turn by the Hoas, or Epthalite Huns" (White Huns).
The Scythians and Saka of the Se Nation – "All Sakai were Scythians, but not all Scythians were Sakai."Scythian ice princess Wu Suns Merge With The Sakas to Become the Saxons
In addition to the Wusuns and Yuechis, there was another or multiple larger tribes that had occupied what the Chinese call the "Se nation" and these people as whole are identified generally as Scythians, but by the Chinese as the Se. There was another group of Scythians who were different from the other Scyths and whom the Persians and the Greeks had called the Sacae or Sakas. It is said that the Saka period lasted until ca 200 BC when Wusun tribes moved into the area from the east.
The ancient Greek and Roman scholars believed, "all Sakai were Scythians, but not all Scythians were Sakai."
The term Scythians or Scyths is used to describe various ancient Iranian nomadic people living in Scythia, the region encompassing the Pontic-Caspian steppe and parts of Central Asia throughout the Classical Antiquity. The ancient Persians called all the Scyths (Sacae, Herodotus 7.64). Their principal tribe, the "Royal Scyths", ruled the vast lands occupied by the nation as a whole (Herodotus 4.20), calling themselves (Scōloti, Herodotus 4.6). The term Scythian, like Cimmerian, was used to refer to a variety of groups from the Black Sea to southern Siberia and central Asia.
"They were not a specific people", but rather variety of peoples "referred to a variety of times in history, and in several places, none of which was their original homeland." This is key in understanding this time in history and the facts that the were certainly not united as one peoples or tribe at the time. However, they were most likely all of the same blood or very closely related.
The confusion surrounding the Saka is partly due to the Persians, but according to Herodotus; the Persians called all Scythians by the name Sakas. The English word Saxon is derived from Persic word Sacae-sun or "Sak," which means dog. The Persians who had admired the leadership of all Scythians tribes by naming them the Sacae. The Sakai or Sakas and Sacse, Saha, Sahia, of India; or the Median Straxa, are all mutations of this same word Sak.
Albinus says, "The Saxons were descended from the Ancient Sacae (the Sakas) of Asia, and that eventually they were called Saxons." Herodotus had said that the Persians gave the name of Sacae or Sacans to all the Scythians and Pliny says that the Sakai, who settled in Armenia, were named Sacassani. Ptolemy also mentions a Scythian people sprung from the Sakai, by the name of Saxones."
This tells us that historians back then and the Saka themselves were considered to be a separate tribe from the other Scythian tribes and this could be due to the Saka having other tribal and or blood alliances that would have make the Saka different based on DNA and that they were possibly related to the other Scythians, but separate by race, customs, tribal alliances and destiny.
Sakas and Wu Suns, the Saka-Suns or Saxones Form Various Tribes
The facts are that the Scythians, Saka and Wu Suns were the most formidable tribes in this area of Central Asia at the time. You will find that when you combine Sacae or Sakas with the Wu Suns you get the Sacae-Suns or Sakas-Suns. The Sacae-Suns or Saka-Suns sounds very familiar to the Saxons which I believe to be the true origins of the English name "Saxones or Saxons." The Wu Suns were the race who the Chinese had called the "tall ones" and who had blue or green eyes with blonde or white hair and white skin.
In the book titled China's Last Nomads: The History and Culture of China's Kazaks Page 33; we are given an account of this merger and also the latter tribes formed from this same said union; "Wusun people moved west, to the Hi River valley, around the third century B.C. Here they merged with the Saka, known in … The Wusun-Saka tribes of this area include the Jersak, Bessak, Bersak, and Kazsak, the name of the latter tribe…"
The Kazsaks were known as a great Tartar tribe who then mingled with the Kalrauk and Kirgis or are the same tribe. They are either related to who Chinese sources call the Jiankun peoples. According to the Historical Book of the Tang Dynasty, "the Jiankun people are tall and have white hair, white skin and green eyes." Today the Jiankun are known today as the Kyrgyz (also spelled Kirgiz, Kirghiz) who are a Turkic people living primarily in Kyrgyzstan. The word "Kyrgyz" is derived from the Turkic word "forty", with -Iz being an old plural suffix, referring to a collection of forty tribes. Kyrgyz also means "imperishable", "inextinguishable", "immortal", "unconquerable" or "undefeatable",
The Jiankun or Kyrgyz were rather strong in the third century when they were neighbors of the Wusun. As stated above, the Jiankun were said to be tall and have white hair, white skin and green eyes. They were also described in Tang Dynasty texts as having "red hair and green eyes", while those with dark hair and eyes were said to be descendants of a Chinese general Li Ling. This description is very similar to that given to us of the Wusuns which tells me they were certainly either related or the same peoples. On Wikipedia they are described as the early Kyrgyz people, known as Yenisei Kyrgyz or Xiajiasi, first appear in written records in the Chinese annals of the Sima Qian's Records of the Grand Historian (compiled 109 BC to 91 BC), as Gekun or Jiankun.
In the 18th and 19th century European writers used the word "Kirghiz" (the early Anglicized form of the contemporary Russian ) to refer not only to the people we now know as Kyrgyz, but also to their more numerous northern relatives, the Kazakhs. When distinction had to be made, more specific terms were used:for the Kyrgyz proper, and Koisaks for the Kazakhs.
Before the Time of the Scythians, the Hittites Ruled This Land
If you study history before these dates and these later peoples called the Scythians or Scyths who came on the scene, you will find that this area and its kingdoms were founded by one huge tribe that had one of the largest empires that had rivaled or surpassed the Egyptians. These people were called the Hittites. The Scythians seem to be a hybrid tribe and race that had descended from the original Hittites who had originally occupied this region for thousands of years prior to when the Scythians or that name came on to the scene.
Who the Chinese call the Se, are the same people the Greeks had named the Sakas. The Sakas were of Scythian descent and the Scythians I believe I can prove, descend from the Hittites whom in turn the Sakas and Saxons would also be descendants of as well. Herodotus tells us that the Sakas had "high caps tapering to a point and stiffly upright." Asian Saka headgear is clearly visible on the Persepolis Apadana staircase bas-relief – high pointed hat with flaps over ears and the nape of the neck. The Hittites for whom we now have a tremendous amount of archaeological evidence also had worn these exact same tall pointed caps or hats. Many depictions of Hittite men with pointed hats, and shoes with curled-up toes have been found in many locations in modern day Turkey.
In addition, there are also many references to the Hittites that have been found and translated in Egyptian inscriptions that describe them as powerful neighbors, who wore boots with turned-up toes, were fond of silver, and and at times they were great enemies of the Pharaohs. This was up until a peace treaty was concluded between Egyptian Pharaoh Ramesses II and Hittite King Hattusili III, that the Egyptians and Hittites made an "eternal treaty" of "peace and brotherhood for all time."
I would assume since we hear virtually nothing of the Hittites from the ancient Greeks that they either did not know of the Hittites, or they simply did not know how to read Egyptian or Hittite heliographs at the time. This would make perfect sense. In any event, we do have Greek historian Herodotus describing the Sakas with "high caps tapering to a point" and we have a tremendous amount of actual science from both the Egyptians and the actual Hittites themselves that they had also worn pointed caps.
A Possible Wusuns, Sakas, Hittite and Amorite Connection to the Bible
Most modern day stories that we have of these peoples come from the East where they appear to have had a significant impact in this region in the time of the Old Testament and also the beginning of the New Testament. However, you will not find the name of "Wusuns" in the bible today or any religious historical documents. They seem to have just disappeared off the face of the earth leaving very little evidence behind.
The presence of a possible Nordic type race that was tall, fair skinned and blue eyes can also be found among the biblical Amorites, that I believe also makes a possible connection to whom the Chinese depicted as the Wusuns. In addition, the Wusun appear to sound very similar to white Syrians who were said to be descendants of the Hittites and may have also been descendants of the Amorites. The white Syrians were also generally tall, with white or blonde hair and light blue or even grey eyes. This possible connection to the Wusuns places them right in the heart of biblical history and also in the location of these stories in connection to the Amorites who were said to be as "tall as cedars."
The historical accounts that I have given above of these mysterious peoples describe them with such terms as the "Green Eye Devils," the tall ones and also the blue-eyed, red-bearded people which gives us a clue how so-called European DNA was infused into these regions of the world. The descriptions of the tribe of the Wusuns and also the historical accounts of the merger with the Sakas gives us researchers clues to not only what race these peoples may have been, but also the origins of the tribe known as the Saxons who later went on to help shape much of Europe and the west as we know it today.
In closing here is a bible passage to ponder until my next article under Ezekiel 16:3 – "And say, Thus said the Lord GOD to Jerusalem; Your birth and your nativity is of the land of Canaan; your father was an Amorite, and your mother an Hittite."
In my next article I would like to explore this possible connections of the Wu Suns and Saxons with the biblical Hittites and Amorites.

I read an old religious book called the sheep and the wolves (or wolf), maybe wolf and the sheep...anyway, the author said Saxon came from "Isaac's Sons"....thought it was interesting....nice post OP

The Gambetti crime family are the strongest and most-powerful of the Liberty City Cosa Nostra Commission in Grand Theft Auto IV, led by Jon Gravelli since 1978. They are based in Broker, Dukes, and Algonquin. They are most likely the strongest crime syndicate in Liberty City. It is unknown if they also control parts of Alderney but this is most likely not because their rival, the Ancelotti Family controls parts of Alderney along with the Pegorino Family. It is likely a very big organization, but with many unknown members. Their known gang cars are all black, suggesting that black is their gang colour. This is yet unproven. They have shown big support to Niko Bellic by bringing Darko Brevic into the country. This, however was possible with some help of the head of the United Liberty Paper
Members and associates
- Jon Gravelli - Former Don of the Gambetti family. Was critically ill and had resided in the Schottler Medical Center for the last three years. Died in 2008 (after the final mission of GTA IV).
- Sammy Bottino - Gravelli's right hand man, and Underboss until he went into hiding because he is wanted for a murder in Vice City.
- Roy Zito - Gravelli's top advisor and Consigliere since Bottino went into hiding. Likely took over the family after Jon Gravelli's death.
Former members
- Sonny Cangelosi - Former Boss of the Gambetti family until his death in 1978.
- Jon Gravelli, Jr. - Jon Gravelli's son. He's been disowned after he developed a cocaine addiction, but is still taken care of by the family. According to the LCPD database, he is in custody.
The Gambetti family is based on the real life Gambino crime family, widely regarded as the second most powerful and respected mafia family of New York City. They help Construction Unions for business as well as the Messina Family, but having a dislike of some sort for the Ancelotti Family. It's possible their favorite cars/vehichles of choice are the Washington, Lokus, and Coquette.

Just to be honest and clarify I don't believe I wrote any of that script. No big deal I just want to make sure the people who wrote it get the proper credit. I believe balding_parrot wrote some of it.
I did, but most of what I added to it has been removed.
No biggie though.
I am sorry I forgot the code tags. I could make some lame excuse, but what the heck I forgot. I debated whether I should post this in programming or BT3 General. I decided BT3 General as this is BT3 specific. I figured if I made the wrong decision someone would move it. I am sorry if I didn't add someone to the list of credits. I just looked at the original thread. Feel free to edit the posting as needed. I try to make sure that people who did the work get the proper credit.

Hi, thanks for the script. I am getting a slight error though sorry.
i saved it as update.sh and ran it but get error below:

sorry if this is obvious but the command looks good to me so did i copy it incorrectly somehow?
I just fixed the error on line 48. Thanks for reporting it.

Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)PSVT; Supraventricular tachycardia
Paroxysmal supraventricular tachycardia (PSVT)isepisodes of rapid heart ratethat start in a part of the heart above the ventricles. "Paroxysmal" means from time to time.
Normally, the chambers of the heart (atria and ventricles) contract in a coordinated manner.
- The contractions are caused by an electrical signal that begins in an area of the heart called the sinoatrial node (also called the sinus node or SA node).
- The signal moves through the upper heart chambers (the atria) and tells the atria to contract.
- After this, the signal moves down in the heart and tells the lower chambers (the ventricles) to contract.
The rapid heart rate from PSVT may start with eventsthat takeplace in many different areasabove the lower heart chambers (ventricles).
PSVT can occur with digitalis toxicity and with conditions such as Wolff-Parkinson-White syndrome.
The condition occurs most often in young people and infants.
The following increase your risk for PSVT:
- Alcohol use
- Caffeine use
- Illicit drug use
- Smoking
Symptoms usually start and stop suddenly, and can last for a few minutes or several hours. They can include:
- Anxiety
- Chest tightness
- Palpitations (a sensation of feeling the heart beat), often with an irregular or fast rate (racing)
- Rapid pulse
- Shortness of breath
Othersymptoms that can occur with this condition:
Exams and Tests
A physical examination during a PSVT episode will show a rapid heart rate. It may also show bounding pulses in the neck.
The heart rate may be over 100, and even more than 250 beats per minute (bpm). In children, the heart rate tends to be very high. There may be signs of poor blood circulation such as light-headedness. Between episodes of PSVT, the heart rate is normal (60 to 100 bpm).
An ECG during symptoms shows PSVT. An electrophysiology study (EPS) may be needed for an accurate diagnosis and to recommend the best treatment.
Because PSVT comes and goes, to diagnose it patients may need to wear a 24-hour Holter monitor. For longer periods of time, anothertape of the rhythm recording device may be used.
If you do not have symptoms or any other heart condition, PSVT may notneed treatment.
If you have an episode of PSVT, there are techniques you can try on your own tointerrupt the fast heartbeat.
- One is called the Valsalva maneuver. To do this, you hold your breath and strain, as if you were trying to have a bowel movement.
- Another technique you can try is tocough while sitting with your upper body bent forward.
- Some people find that splashing ice water on the face is helpful.
You should avoid smoking, caffeine, alcohol, and illicit drugs.
Emergency treatment to slow the heartbeat back to normal may include:
- Electrical cardioversion, the use of electric shock
- Medicines through a vein
Long-term treatment for people who have repeat episodes of PSVT, or who also have heart disease,may include:
- Cardiac ablation -- a procedure used to destroy small areas in your heart that may be causing the rapid heartbeat (currently the treatment of choice for most PSVTs)
- Daily medications to prevent repeat episodes
- Pacemakers to override the fast heartbeat (on occasion may be used in children with PSVT who have not responded to any other treatment)
- Surgery to change the pathways in the heart that send electrical signals (this may be recommended in some cases for people who need other heart surgery)
Outlook (Prognosis)
PSVT is generally not life threatening. If other heart disorders are present, it can lead to congestive heart failure or angina.
When to Contact a Medical Professional
Call your health care provider if:
- You often have a sensation offeeling the heart beat quicklyand symptoms do not end on their own in a few minutes
- You have a history of PSVT and an episode does not go away with the Valsalva maneuver or by coughing, or other symptoms occur with the rapid heart rate
- Symptoms return often
- New symptoms develop

Federal Child Care Experts Gather to Build on State-of-the-Art System
July 22, 2009
Contacts: Susan Sylvester, 202-501-1231
Michael Proul, 202-501-1231
Green is Primary Color at 20th Child Care Conference
WASHINGTON – More than 200 U.S. General Services Administration child care experts, as well as professionals and educators from other agencies and institutions, began meeting today to learn, share, and celebrate the practices that have helped establish a network of GSA-managed federal child care centers as a standard of excellence for nurturing and educating children for more than two decades.
Conference attendees are meeting in Orlando over a three-day period, attending training programs and seminars on topics such as developing literacy in young children, fighting childhood obesity, creating and using outdoor playgrounds, and building green and sustainable child care facilities.
"By providing high-quality, dependable day care in safe and secure environments, our children get the fresh start they need to be successful later in school," said GSA Public Buildings Service Acting Commissioner Anthony E. Costa. "Federal employee recruitment, job satisfaction and retention, and employee wellness and work/life balance are enhanced, since parents enjoy quality, convenient and safe child care at or near their place of work."
GSA provides space and childcare services for more than 8,400 children in 111 centers in GSA-managed properties across the country and in Puerto Rico. All centers operating in GSA-managed space are required to achieve accreditation from the Academy of Early Childhood Programs, a division of the National Association for the Education of Young Children.
Imagineering Possibilities for 20 Years is the theme chosen to capture the centers' creativity and dedication to children, families, and communities. An increasing focus on green facilities has also helped ensure that today's children grow up conscious of and committed to improving the environment.

Red Head Carbon Fury Arrows
Well the first batch of Red Head arrows did not fair very well. We broke 3 of them. One stuck in a tree the other 2 were bounced off of a tree. Bought some more though this time I bought the 85 grain field points to go on them. Hopefully these new tips will provide a better trajectory which will equate to a better score. Not a bad arrow overall. Just wish that I had practiced with them Friday night, but instead worked 3 hours overtime which negated the practice. Hopefully I can practice more this week. Only 2 times last week did I get to practice before the tournament.
Respectfully, Rickey

Hula on Hawaii Island
Hula is a uniquely Hawaiian dance accompanied by chant or song that preserves and perpetuates the stories, traditions and culture of Hawaii. Hawaii Island has the honor of hosting the world's biggest and most renowned Hula competition, the Merrie Monarch Festival. Held annually in Downtown Hilo (follows Easter Sunday in March-April), the Merrie Monarch Festival was named after King David Kalakaua, who revived hula in the late 19th century after decades of disapproval by Christian missionaries. An olelo (saying) from King Kalakaua has been adopted by the Merrie Monarch Festival: "Hula is the language of the heart, therefore the heartbeat of the Hawaiian people."
Although getting tickets to the hula competitions can be tough, the Merrie Monarch Festival includes a variety of free events that are open to the public. There are also many other hula competitions and exhibitions held throughout the year. Other events include: Hula Arts at Kilauea series, (Hawaii Volcanoes National Park) Iolani Luahine Hula Festival and Hula Scholarship Competition (February, Kailua-Kona), Queen Liliuokalani Festival (September, Hilo), Moku o Keawe International Festival (November, Kohala Coast). And you can often see live performances at historic sites like Hulihee Palace and Hawaii Island's hotels and resorts.
A luau is another fun and festive place to watch the hula and learn about Hawaiian and Polynesian culture. Hula is traditionally taught by a kumu hula (hula teacher) in a hula halau (hula school) but visitors can sometimes get free lessons at select Hawaii Island hotels and resorts. If you're brave enough, some luau performances even let you take the stage to show off your new hula skills.
The hula was born in early Hawaii and is still a powerful way to share myths and legends, as well as everyday life. Today, many hula halau make pilgrimages to the rim of Halemaumau Crater in Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to honor the volcano goddess Pele, who has always been an important figure in the hula and chants of Hawaii Island. This is a testament to the mana (spiritual power) of Hawaii Island and the commitment of its people to honor and perpetuate the Hawaiian culture through the hula.

"Doc in a box" may help lower health care costs for county
(Cleveland) – Automated health care is now available to employees at the Cuyahoga County Justice Center.
HealthSpot is a new kiosk where workers can have a teleconference with a MetroHeath physician, and get a complete physical work up if they are feeling ill.
Patients step into the booth and are connected to a doctor, with the physician able to remotely take their temperature, monitor their heartbeat, weight, and other vital signs. Doctor is even able to write a prescription.
The 8-by-5 foot HealthSpot station is located in the atrium of the Justice Center. Cuyahoga County is the first government agency in Ohio to offer the device, which will be open from noon to 4:30pm Monday through Friday.
Robbie Page of HealthSpot & Dr. Akram Boutros, MetroHealth CEO.
County Executive Ed FitzGerald says Healthspot will help lower medical costs in the long run by allowing employees to get more convenient and timely examinations and treatment.

The above post is 100% false and should not be taken seriously, it is a lie.
Bored Of Your Average.
Gesus got style.
be weird.
Temz ftw.
Gesus by far, his style is so unique,not your everday stuff.
I usually like Temz, but this one, not so much, Gesus's looks better in my opinion, Temz also seems to have very generic letters, which I tend to not like, though mine are pretty generic also...If Temz had a black outline it might've looked better, but I still would've probably voted Gesus.
Temz, he actually did a fill, has a nice color scheme.
You want to say something to me? Call: 281-330-8004, ask for Mike.
battles like this are a
bad idea all together.
temz is good but soo is
gesus. but its bombing science.
and toys love to dick ride.
so i imagine gesus will win
but only b/c of the sheer

just my opinion. both good writers.
but i voted temz.

BIO News
Thailand was until recently not know to have made significant contributions to the life sciences industry. However, the landscape is changing rapidly in the 'Land of Free'. Much of the credit for this development goes to the National Center for Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology also known as BIOTEC.
BIOTEC was first set up under the Ministry for Science, Technology and Energy on September 20, 1983. After the establishment of National Science and Technology Development Agency (NSTDA) on December 30, 1991, BIOTEC became one of the NSTDA centers, operating outside the normal framework of civil service and state enterprises. Basic funding for the organization comes from the NSTDA.
As a premier research institute in Thailand, BIOTEC operates research units at Thailand Science Park and specialized laboratories hosted by various universities, covering a wide spectrum of research topics from agricultural science to biomedical science and environmental science. BIOTEC spends 75 percent of the revenue allotted to it on R&D. For the fiscal year 2011, its budget was approximately $24.5 million (753 million Baht) and the total expenditure was approximately $21 million (643.73 million Baht). "We have roles similar to NSTDA, that is to promote biotech industry in Thailand, get involved in the technology transfer process, and provide infrastructure to companies willing to carry out research in Thailand," said Dr Kanyawim Kirtikara, executive director, BIOTEC.
Apart from research and commercialization, BIOTEC activities also include policy research, outreach programs, human resource development and international relations. The organization has been at the forefront in attracting talent from biotechnology. Out of the 570 staff employed at BIOTEC, there are 36 percent MSc, 30 percent B Sc and 29 percent PhD degree holders, and 83 percent of the staff at the institution is involved in R&D.
The organization also collaborates with various companies and industries from Thailand and abroad, and the year 2012 has been fruitful for the organization.For instance, BIOTEC and Novartis, a leading multinational, decided to extend their 2005 partnership for another three years in April 2012. In 2005, Novartis and BIOTEC collaborated to decipher the potential use of microorganisms and natural compounds as sources of new medicines to treat diseases such as cancer, diabetes, heart diseases and tropical diseases.

Home > Wellness > Health Library > Vacuum Aspiration for Molar Pregnancy
Vacuum aspiration is a surgical procedure. It's used to remove
molar pregnancy tissue from the uterus. This procedure
uses a hollow tube (cannula) that is attached by tubing to a bottle and a pump. The pump provides a gentle vacuum.
First the
cervix is opened, or dilated. Then the cannula is passed
into the uterus. Next, the pump is turned on, and the molar tissue is gently removed
from the uterus. While suction is being applied, the wall of the uterus is
usually scraped with a sharp tool, called a curette, to remove the molar
You will be given
general anesthesia, so you are not awake during the procedure.
Medicine (such as oxytocin) is used
during or after the procedure to make the uterus contract. The contractions
help the uterus shrink to its prepregnancy size. They also help stop uterine bleeding
after the growth is removed.

As summer energy demand increases, APS reminds its customers it is well positioned to meet their energy needs over the next three months.
This message is the key theme of a three-minute APS-produced video that can be viewed on YouTube: youtube.com/arizonapublicservice. The video features interviews with company officials about this summer's peak demand forecast, the resources available to serve that demand, a summary of APS's system improvements, and the steps the company takes to prepare for wildfires and other emergencies.
"One of our most important jobs each year is to make sure the APS system is ready when the summer heat arrives," said Daniel Froetscher, APS Vice President of Energy Delivery. "We invest in the electricity grid, secure an ample supply of power for even the hottest days, and prepare in advance for storms, wildfires and other events that can cause power outages. When outages do occur, our top priority is to get the lights back on quickly and safely, while communicating regularly with our customers about our efforts to restore the power."
In preparation for meeting the needs of its customers this summer, APS in 2011 invested about $250 million in system improvements. This included more than 40 miles of new and rebuilt power lines and the construction of seven new substations throughout the company's service territory.
This summer, APS anticipates a peak of 7,067 megawatts (MW), compared with the 2011 summer peak of 7,087 MW, which occurred on Aug. 24, during the hottest monsoon season ever recorded in the Valley. Between its existing generation, and long- and short-term contracts, APS has 8,696 MW of resources available to help meet summer demand.
The all-time APS system peak of 7,236 MW was set on July 21, 2006. (The summer peak – the 15-minute period when APS customers require the most energy – typically occurs in July or August between 5 and 6 p.m.)
APS successfully met peak demand in 2011 while providing its 1.1 million customers with record high levels of reliability. For the year, the typical APS customer experienced 0.79 power outages compared to a national industry median of 1.12 interruptions. Meanwhile, the typical APS customer experienced 69 minutes of interrupted service in 2011, compared with an industry median of 114 minutes. Both marks are APS records and fall within or near the top quartile of the industry.
In the event of large-scale customer outages, the company utilizes its Twitter outage feed, @APSOutageCenter, to provide real-time updates to its customers and other key audiences.
APS, Arizona's largest and longest-serving electricity utility, serves more than 1.1 million customers in 11 of the state's 15 counties. With headquarters in Phoenix, APS is the principal subsidiary of Pinnacle West Capital Corp. (NYSE: PNW)

THE SQL Server Blog Spot on the Web
In an earlier post, I highlighted that linked server security configuration can have a huge performance impact, and complained that this was not properly documented in SQL Server Books Online and filed a Connectitem for this. Good news is that in Books Online for SQL Server 2008 R2, Microsoft has revised the documentation, and included the following guideline forusing distributed queries:
To create the best query plans when you are using a table on a linked server, the query processor must have data distribution statistics from the linked server. Users that have limited permissions on any columns of the table might not have sufficient permissions to obtain all the useful statistics, and might receive aless efficient query plan and experience poor performance. If the linked serveris an instance of SQL Server, to obtain all available statistics, the user must own the table or be a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, the db_ownerfixed database role, or the db_ddladmin fixed database role on the linkedserver.
This is a major improvement.To drive this home, however, it would be nice to see the impact in action. In my presentation at the recent SQL Saturday #59 in NYC, I demonstrated, with a simple example, that the performance of adistributed query can be significantly impacted by the user permission. Unfortunately, due to time limit, I could not go into great details during the demo. Let me describe the example in this post.
To make the example work,some assumptions are in order:
· You have two SQL Server 2005 (or 2008) instances:SQL01 and SQL02. There is a user database called TestDB on SQL02.· You have a SQL login called bob on SQL02, which is granted access to TestDB as a user in the public role only.· A linked server called SQLBOB is created on SQL01 as follows:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server= N'SQLBOB',
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'SQL02',
@rmtpassword='########' -- replace withreal password for bob
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'SQLBOB',
@optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'
@optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'true'
@optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'true'
· A second linked server SQLSA is created on SQL01 as follows:
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedserver @server= N'SQLSA',
EXEC master.dbo.sp_addlinkedsrvlogin @rmtsrvname=N'SQLSA',
@rmtpassword='########' -- replace with real sa password
EXEC master.dbo.sp_serveroption @server=N'SQLSA',
@optname=N'data access', @optvalue=N'true'
@optname=N'rpc', @optvalue=N'true'
@optname=N'rpc out', @optvalue=N'true'
The only difference between SQLBOB and SQLSA is that the former is configured to log into SQL02 with bob, whereas the latter is configured to log into SQL02 with sa.
Now, let's create a table in TestDB on SQL02 and populate it with 100,000 rows using the following script:
use TestDB
drop table item
create table item(i int, j int, cchar(200))
;with tmp(i, j, c) as (
select 1, 1, replicate('a', 200)
union all
select i + 1, j+1, replicate('a', 200)
from tmp
where i < 100000
insert item
select * from tmp
option (maxrecursion 0)
create clustered index ix_i on item(i)
create index ix_j on item(j)
grant select on item to bob
Then on SQL01, let's create a temporary table and populate it with 20 rows.
drop table #tmp
create table #tmp(i int, c varchar(10))
;with tmp(i, c) as (
select 1, cast('abc' as varchar(10))
select i + 1, cast(i as varchar(10))
where i < 20
insert #tmp
create clustered index ix_c on #tmp(c)
Now, we are ready for ourdemo. On SQL01, run the following queries:
--Query 1
select t1.*, t2.*
from #tmp t1, SQLBOB.TestDB.dbo.item t2
where t1.i = t2.j
-- Query 2
from #tmp t1, SQLSA.TestDB.dbo.item t2
Note that the only difference between Query 1 and Query 2 is that the former accesses the item table on SQL02 via linked server SQLBOB whereas the latter does via linked server SQLSA.
You should find that both queries will come back relatively quickly with no big difference in duration.However, if you capture their query plans, you'll see that the remote query forQuery 1 is something similar to the following:
SELECT "Tbl1004"."i""Col1010","Tbl1004"."j""Col1011","Tbl1004"."c" "Col1012" FROM"TestDB"."dbo"."item" "Tbl1004" ORDERBY "Col1011" ASC'
In other words, the optimizer on SQL01 has decided to bring all the rows of the table item from SQL02 to SQL01 in a single scan, and then process the query locally.
And if you capture the query plan for Query 2 or useSQL Profiler on SQL02, you'll see that the remote query would look like thefollowing:
SELECT "Tbl1004"."i""Col1010","Tbl1004"."j" "Col1011","Tbl1004"."c""Col1012" FROM "TestDB"."dbo"."item""Tbl1004" WHERE "Tbl1004"."j"=?
This time, SQL01 is using a different strategy. Basically, it is fetching only those rows from SQL02 where column item.j matches the column i values from the local temporary table. If you look at the incoming traffic on SQL02with SQL Profiler, you'll see the following:
declare @p1 int
set @p1=1
exec sp_prepexec @p1 output,N'@P1 int',N'SELECT"Tbl1004"."i""Col1006","Tbl1004"."j""Col1007","Tbl1004"."c" "Col1008" FROM "master"."dbo"."item" "Tbl1004" WHERE "Tbl1004"."j"=@P1',2
select @p1
And this is followed by 20 executions of sp_execute. Essentially, SQL01 has decided to parameterize the calls to SQL02 through the linked server SQLSA by creating a temporary stored procedure on SQL02 and then call the proc 20 times, one for each value of column i in #tmp.
So what is the implication? Well, you'll see a huge performance difference if table item on SQL02 is not populated with 100,000 rows but 10,000,000 rows. In that case, 20 calls with index seek will absolutely beat a scan of a large table any time. The larger the table on SQL02, the more significant the performance difference between Query 1 and Query 2.
Why is there such a performance difference between Query 1 and Query 2?
The root cause is explained by the quotation from SQL Server 2008 R2 Books Online (reproduced at the beginning of this post). With SQLBOB, the user accessing SQL02 is bob, who only has the SELECT permission on the item table and does not have permission to see the distribution statistics. With SQLSA, however, the user is sa and has all the permission to access everything on SQL02, including the distribution statistics for the item table.
Note that the worst case scenario for the Query 2query plan would be scanning the item table 20 times if the column item.j turnsout to be not selective, whereas with Query 1, a single scan of the item table is the worst case. In a way, it makes sense to choose the query plan as seen with Query 1 when the optimizer on SQL01 has no knowledge of the distribution statistics of the item table on SQL02. In terms of the worst case scenario, it is actually safer.
If you run this example in your environment, you may not see the exact behavior as I have described. But if you play with different numbers of rows or different column widths in the test tables, you should eventually see the above two different plans.
What about connecting to a data source that is not SQL Server (eg ORACLE). Is there any affect there as well for not having SA rights on thr oracle instance?
In case it's not clear, I was using sa for simplicity in the demo. As the SQL2008 R2 BOL states, to be able to access the distribution stats for the table, the user needs to be the table owner or a member of the sysadmin fixed server role, the db_ownerfixed database role, or the db_ddladmin fixed database role on the linkedserver. Now, this applies to the SQL Server data source. I do not know to what extent the SQL Server optimizer will go to retrieve and make use of the distribution stats of a non-SQL Server data source.
I am using linked servers for the data warehouse (SQL 2008), so I want the nightly ETL to be efficient, but I currently am using a SQL user set up on each of the linked servers that has read only permissions to source systems (SQL server databases in 2005 and 2008). I don't want the data warehouse user to modify the production databases (which would only happen accidentally). All of the database roles listed would grant the data warehouse SQL user way more power to modify the source system than I want. So is there no way around it so that the data warehouse account is able to access the distribution stats for efficient loading of the data without the permission to modify/delete objects?
We use stored procedures on the remote boxes for this very reason. May not be ideal on all situations, but works well.
Good idea, Chuck.
Christina P;
Just want to note that the behavior is specific to distributed queries. If you can pass your queries through to the linked server and have them processed there, the problem does not apply. In an ETL situation where we are typically talking about a large amount of data, you probably should avoid doing much distributed queries, though I don't know your specific requirements and they may dictate running distributed queries.
Wouldn't it be great if there was a ROLE that allowed JUST the reading of table statistics?
We have some linked servers that are defined using a read-only userid with read-only permissions. We do, in fact, often get terrible performance when using these linked servers. But we don't want to add ddladmin permissions to the "read-on;y" userid that we use for linking.
We can't really avoid doing distributed queries; we have different data in different databases (that are sometimes of different servers). We don't want to replicate every database to every server!
Adding a role that provided table statistics is the right way to solve this problem. I will file a Connect suggestion.
I created a suggestion on Connect, which was assigned the interesting Connect item number 626262.
Feel free to vote for it. The proposed solution given in the BOL clarification is terrible, from a security standpoint.

Moore School still strong in U.S.News rankings
The University of South Carolina continues to be ranked among the nation's best graduate programs in international business in U.S. News & World Report's annual issue, "America's Best Graduate Schools."
For 21 years, the Darla Moore School of Business has been the highest ranked public university MBA program in the international business category. Ranked behind the Thunderbird School of Global Management (Garvin) of Arizona and the University of Pennsylvania (Wharton), the Moore School bested Columbia University, Harvard University, Duke University (Fuqua), the University of California Berkeley (Haas) and the University of Southern California (Marshall) among other prestigious business schools.
"In an increasingly competitive field, we are proud that the Moore School remains ranked as the No. 1 public university in international business," Moore School Dean Hildy Teegen said. "At Moore, we are as committed as ever to international business, evidenced by the launch of innovative and interdisciplinary degree programs and the continued efforts of world-class faculty, staff and students."
The Moore School also was ranked No. 41 for part-time MBA programs. The category was new, and 314 schools were ranked.
Last year, the Moore School launched two innovative international programs for graduate and undergraduate students. The new Master of International Business (MIB) is a one-year interdisciplinary graduate program that is offered jointly with the College of Arts and Sciences (political science) and the School of Law. The International Business and Chinese Enterprise (IBCE) is a partnership program with the Chinese University of Hong Kong for undergraduates; it includes two years of study in Hong Kong and intensive language and cultural training.
As in past years, the magazine featured some previous rankings of graduate programs. Included in those were the university's No. 2 ranking for school-library media (School of Library and Information Science) and No. 4 ranking for social psychology (College of Arts and Sciences' Department of Sociology).
The issue of "America's Best Graduate Schools" will hit newsstands April 27.
U.S.News rankings
- International business: No. 3 overall and tops among public universities
- School-library media: No. 2
- Social psychology: No. 4

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Would rather have brown than hodges. Can't see us double dipping at linebacker unless we lose ray and Kruger.
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
We can ill-afford to have our Gs support our C too often b/c our unit isn't good enough to hold up otherwise (at least the roster we have right now). We need a C that can consistently carry his own and from what I see Jones most likely won't be able to right away in the NFL...if ever, at C.
I do indeed agree with you about Jones at G position.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
Wicked, I like your mock A LOT. Lots of good picks all around. Your Ravens picks are solid, but none of them have the "value" feel that Ozzie usually goes for--grabbing a guy who's fallen farther than his talent level, i.e. Jimmy Smith, Upshaw, KO, etc. But maybe that's the kind of draft we need right now. Barrett Jones is a fine pick and a good fit. Gerald Hodges is a good pick, but not a great fit for a 3-4 ILB. I love Sean Porter as a player, but where does he play in the NFL? He doesn't have the block-shedding ability or the physicality of Von Miller even if he profiles similarly. I like him a lot, though.
Next year could be very interesting for the Ravens defensively. IMO the 2013 draft is FILLED with great 4-3 defensive players, not so much 3-4 guys outside of a few linemen. I'm not saying the Ravens should make a scheme change based on one draft, but the talent is there and if they make a change at DC, they could bring in a guy like Ron Rivera who has experience in both schemes. Imagine the Ravens playing a 4-3 with this personnel:
RDE-Suggs RDT-Ngata LDT-Jones/McPhee LDE-Upshaw
SLB-McClellan MLB-McClain/Ellerbe/? WLB-Ellerbe/??
And you'd have some solid depth on the back end as well. Imagine if the draft looked like Wicked's mock--Hodges is a GREAT fit at MLB or WLB if we don't re-sign Ellerbe and/or release McClain. Sean Porter could step in as a nickel edge-rusher from the LB spot or even possibly start at one of the OLB spots. You'd free up the LBs from taking on too many blockers in the run game, and they could play further back in coverage to defend the middle of the field a bit better.

I think Tao will end up falling a good bit. Like you stated, there isnt an emphasis on ILB anymore and I dont think hes going to "wow" anyone physically like Patrick Willis. Im not sure Tao goes before Jones or a handful of other Pass Rushing Lbs/DEs. I think hes going to end up a lot like Upshaw and dropping, but end up nowhere near where Upshaw fell. Id say 15-20 range at the very furthest, but probably safe to say teens.-JAB
Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I think that the current guys would be an ideal 4-3 front 7. I also think that by moving to a 4-3, it will help out against the gaping holes in the middle. Ngata lined up beside Art Jones right in the middle would be a stout front. Suggs at DE, Kruger at DE (assuming they keep him), Upshaw at DE, McPhee at DE/DT, Tyson at DT...That is a pretty nice rotation.
The problem with the 4-3 is right now (now being the key word) they just do not have the line backers for a 4-3 alignment. Ellerbe would be a good 4-3 linebacker, but that's it. Everyone else that can or is playing ILB (McClellan) isn't fast enough to really be a true 4-3 LB. If you look at our defensive roster, at it's core, we have a lot of defensive ends playing line backer right now and that is a big reason why we can't cover the middle of the field effectively.
McClain - DE at Syracuse.
McClellan - DE at Marshall.
Kruger - DE at Utah.
Suggs - DE at ASU.
Upshaw - DE at Alabama (did play some stand up OLB though).
Ellerbe, Ray Lewis, Josh Bynes, and Ayanbadejo are the only guys who have been linebackers for any great length of time.Disclaimer: The content posted is of my own opinion.

Nice mock Wicked...just one small thing. We are picking either 26th or 27th now depending on a coin flip.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story. According to Walsh, talent on defense was essential and could not be compensated for. What did Walsh do in 1981? He acquired physical and talented players on defense.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
The problem IMO is moreso at 4-3 Mike and Will. I am really hoping they sign Ellerbe and ask him to play MLB full time next year. To me, I'd much rather cut McClain and re-sign Ellerbe to a similar contract. If they can't do that McClain is the fallback plan at MLB, and he could still end up on the chopping block if they draft a young, fast MLB who shines in camp a la Bobby Wagner for the Seahawks this year.
At Will linebacker they really have nothing and nobody. Luckily, there are a lot of guys in this draft who could be drafted in the 2nd and 3rd round that look like potential day-one starters at the position. Lavonte David is a great example of a 2nd round guy who stepped in at 4-3 WLB and is playing at frankly a Pro Bowl level right now. The college ranks are really bristling with guys right around the 6'0-6'3 225-240 range that maybe can't take on blockers and thump in the run game all that well, but who can drop into coverage well and won't miss a one on one tackle in the open field against a shifty back. Hodges, CJ Mosley, Sean Porter, Arthur Brown, Jelani Jenkins, Jon Brown out of Illinois...
I really think the traditional 3-4 defense is going the way of the dodo and the NFL is shifting back to the 4-3, but with a lot of insane athletes at the LB and DE positions. You can just do so much more that way. REALLY think the Ravens should make the move this offseason.

Re: New draft/FA/offseason thread
I know some don't think much of him and I agree that it would be risky, but if he's still there, I'd like the team to take a chance on Mathieu with one of their mid round comp picks.
I think he'd be a good gamble at the very end of the 4th or 5th round.Although Walsh's system of offense can compensate for lack of talent; however, defense is a different story.

Built from the ground up to be the best waterfowl load on the market HEVI-Shot's Speedball ammunition has several unique features. Speedball uses existing HEVI-Shot technology and adds to it the MV2 steel shot technology to make one of the best waterfowl loads on the market. The first innovation is the elastomeric Speedball in the base of the shell that accelerates the pellet velocity while keeping pressures in check. Next is the MV2 steel core copper-clad pellets that are Heavier Than Steel but feature a soft outer copper layer that has been metallurgically fused to the steel core. Using proprietary processes a copper layer 22 times thicker than plated copper pellets allows the MV2 pellets to be denser than conventional steel pellets. The last addition is the use of layer technology from the HEVI-Metal loads, featuring a HEVI-Shot layer and a MV2 layer. This all results in the higher pellet counts and lethal pellet energy of the original HEVI-Shot loads at a lower price and higher speeds. With increased speeds and lowered pressures will result in less required lead and higher hunter success rates. It is easy to see that Speedball is the preferred round for serious waterfowl hunting.
