Bruins winger Brad Marchand told the assembled media after practice today in Nashville that he was "very surprised" when he got to the rink and found out the NHL was looking into a possible punishment for his hit on R.J. Umberger Tuesday night in Columbus.
Marchand said there was no talk about his second-period hit to the Blue Jackets forward's head in the locker room after the game, so he thought nothing about it. When he woke up this morning, teammates and his agent Wade Arnott told him the hit was all over NHL Network and that he had a hearing scheduled with the league over the phone for Thursday.
"Just because they're trying to tighten up on head hits and stuff, there might be a reaction to it," said Marchand.
As for the play, Marchand said he was trying to make contact with Umberger's shoulder during the pursuit of the puck. It wasn't until he saw the replay that he realized it was a head shot.
"He's a big guy. For me to hit him in the head kind of tells you how low he was," the 5-foot-9 Marchand said about the 6-2 Umberger's bent-over skating stride on the play. "I think he was pretty off-balance. I didn't hit him very hard and he fell pretty easy.
"I think where the puck was there wasn't a whole lot I could've done to go around him."
Umberger, who only briefly commented after the game, made his case for punishment of Marchand to the Columbus Post-Dispatch today:
"I saw the hit this morning. I felt like he led with the elbow. There are certain ways to play out there. Obviously I didn't have control of the puck. It was free. He could have come and got it. He didn't need to go at my head.
"It didn't result in an injury, but it sure could have."
We'll find out what the NHL disciplinarians think tomorrow morning. Marchand practiced on a line with Patrice Bergeron and Mark Recchi today, but he might not get to join that combination against the Predators or for a couple more games after that.

Is there such a thing as TOO MUCH tea?
I think the issue isn't the tea in general, it's the amount of (any) liquid that could over work your UTS, depleate mineral levels, and drown your cells as well as the sweetener some people add to it and the caffeine. For example, 6 infusions of the same tea leaves unsweetened is healthier than 6 1st infusions of the same (true tea) thus using 6x the amount of leaf steeped in the same amount of liquid and sweetened w/ anything but truvia. Although honey in moderation is healthy for you.
Everyone talked about the caffeine, but are any of you concerned about the fluoride?
There's a documented case of a 52 year old woman developing fluoridosis from drinking 1 to 2 gallons of instant tea daily. It was well above the EPA standard for fluoride in drinking water.
Just something to think about.
It also contains fluoride since tea plants absorb fluoride well. It depends on the soil and growing conditions, so from what I found on the net it varies from year to year. The charts in the link included some bagged teas.
No, there is never anything as too much tea.
Anyone have any more info on the whole tea oxalate = kidney stones debate? http://blogs.webmd.com/healthy-recipe-doctor/2008/06/tea-and-kidney-stones.html
If I cant have a cup of white tea before I go to bed what will I do ?! I completely believed that white tea had less caffeine than oolong/green, and it's become a habit now… maybe thats why I always stayed up later than I should have :P
I just read through this entire thread and must say I am amazed at how many things we all believe and even repeat to others without ever checking the facts. Hope every one changes their websites so we stop spreading incorrect information.
If the tea you're drinking is working for you and you are able to sleep through the night, why change? Caffeine in tea is complex. The white tea you're drinking may be lower in caffeine than a white tea grown elsewhere. Or it may not be and you may simply process caffeine efficiently. Or the season it grew may have produced a naturally low caffeine tea that will not be replicated next season. Who knows.
Alternatively, you may want to try other teas. There are some green teas that are quite low in caffeine. According to Den's Tea: "Houjicha, Genmaicha and Bancha have relatively lower caffeine than the other green teas. Both Houjicha and Genmaicha also have an especially nice, relaxing aroma." They recommend those for pre-bedtime drinking. I've found that bancha and genmaicha are both fairly low in caffeine. And, of course, if all else fails there is always decaf.
I drink 8 cups usually a day, iced then 1 cup hot.
I remember learning in school that too much jasmine tea can be bad. Here's an interesting story on it: http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=1334771
Also, I've read drinking too much yerba mate can be unhealthy, cancerous actually. My aunt was DXed with breast cancer, and I came about this article while researched teas for her: http://www.caring4cancer.com/go/cancer/nutrition/questions
I think the rule "everything in moderation" just applies to it. From what I get from the article, just don't re-brew your yerba mate over and over.
I'm new to the tea thing, used to think it was like drinking dishwater with added milk. Lush.
Now I have literally over 10 cups of black tea a day, and was hoping it wouldn't be so good for me, that my overdose of it was causing it to be bad for me…I hope not! I get to work and make a jug of it (lady grey or earl grey)..and get through about 4-5 of them.
I've also read its good for weight management too (alongside eating well and regular exercise). Yay for tea!
Too … much … tea? These words seem strange and foreign when put together simultaneously like that. Like speaking gibberish or something. Just doesn't make sense.
I know it is possible that tea in excess can interfere with iron absorption. http://www.nytimes.com/2009/06/30/health/30real.html?_r=0
Yes, this I do know. And it is a problem from which I suffer, but, as I cannot give up tea, I take iron supplements. It does cause issues from time to time, but, if my alternative is to give up tea, I prefer to deal with the difficulties that low iron levels cause.
No, you cant have enough tea. But you can have too much coffee. Coffee should be banned. It is nasty.
you can have too much of anything tea included and please calm down with the coffee hating you don't like it we get it from all the post you awnser even when coffee is not in the subject
Last time I checked I live in a country where freedom of speech is accepted. Before you try to muzzle someone, consider seriously whether you would want this done to you. You are not my supervisor nor are you an authority. ""'We' all get it", as if you speak for everyone entirely in this forum. How arrogant and meaningless, cliche. It is simply your opinion, similar to forcing people to adopt certain languages in certain locales, or else(is democratic process). Point taken about the coffee. But as it is a destructive beverage and there is actual validity that coffee is linked to mental illness my thoughts are valid. Given that this is a forum and I am not blatantly using abusive language I am entitled to speak freely. I hate coffee because I have a personal experience of it and growing up in Seattle my view is a valid one designed to help protect others from this hideous beverage. Again, information designed to help others decide for themselves, as coffee is a legal beverage whether I hate it or not. Next time you decide you want to censor someone perhaps you should consider seriously whether you would enjoy being censored yourself. Given that I am adding value to this forum if I am harassed by ignorants such as yourself, Im not being paid to be here, I will simply move on. Most of the time as I have experienced in my life, most, not all, others benefit more from interacting with me than I do from them. Save your breathe next time please whoever you are(we must remain perfect strangers) unless you are going to say something intelligent or something mind numbing like the experience of waiting for a red light to turn and the driver in front to process that the red light is now green, due to legal ramifications I cannot simply steamroll the person with the lack of cerebral processing power in front of me, which in this case, would be you.
"Of 135 patients on an acute psychiatric ward, 34 were "high users" of coffee", http://psycnet.apa.org/psycinfo/1977-12942-001
how cute ! a grumpy over sensitive little buddy so much use of big word and big text to prove how much more " intelligent " you are, keep at it maybe you will believe it someday. You much more sound like a member of a weird lobby against coffee or a zealot member of a sect that think the evil coffee lord want to conquer the world ! than someone who want to give information to help that probably come from your over aggresive tone but who am i to judge i believe in Cthulhu Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn ! oh and the flying spaghetti monster too. You are right on something thought we must stay perfect stranger pseudo intellectual make me laugh but tend to make really bad friend they only listen to themselves talk all the times. on that i return to the peaceful part of the forum so you and your hateful movement can continu whatever the porpose of your existence is supposed to be.

Real-World Review
2014 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium: Real World Review
If you're interested in a new plug-in hybrid, it's likely that you've run across the 2014 Ford Fusion Energi Titanium during your car search. If not, allow us to explain: The Fusion Energi is a plug-in hybrid version of Ford's highly popular Fusion midsize sedan. It's different from the standard Fusion Hybrid, as it offers drivers the ability to run solely on electric power for an Environmental Protection Agency-rated 21 miles before a gasoline engine kicks in. We spent a week behind the wheel of the Fusion Energi Titanium to see how well it measures up to its fuel-efficient rivals.
Trunk Space Woes
If you're looking for a plug-in hybrid that's indistinguishable from a typical car (except, of course, for the money it saves you at the pump), then we'd recommend against the Fusion Energi for one major reason: trunk space. Yes, it's that bad.
The main problem is that the batteries powering the Fusion Energi's electric motor are located beneath the sedan's trunk floor. Because they're so numerous and so large, they rob the car of a considerable amount of trunk space. In fact, the Fusion Energi's 8.2 cu ft of trunk space is actually half the cargo-volume figure of the gas-powered Fusion sedan.
Worse, many of those 8.2 cu ft are located on an awkward shelf found deep in the trunk. In truth, the Fusion Energi offers only a very small amount of usable trunk space, meaning you'll often find yourself throwing bags in the more spacious and, unfortunately, highly visible back seat.
On the plus side, the rear seats do fold down, leaving a small pass-through that may allow you to carry some oddly shaped pieces of cargo.
Smooth and Comfortable
The trunk space issue is clearly forgotten as you pilot the Fusion Energi in fully electric mode. Of course, it's quiet; that's a given, considering that an electric motor makes practically no noise. We also found the sedan's seats to be highly comfortable, its ride to be luxury-car smooth and its steering to be effortless and easy. We also enjoyed its high-quality interior, a hallmark of recent Ford products. In Titanium trim, this plug-in Fusion rivals even the Lincoln MKZ's interior.
We also like the updated version of Ford's love-it-or-hate-it MyFord Touch system, which is now easier to use than ever before. The 4-corners layout is intuitive, and predictive address entry for the nav system is better than ever.
Still, for drivers interested in performance, make no mistake: The Fusion Energi isn't a driver's car. But if you want a comfortable sedan that's painless and pleasant to drive, it's hard to argue against the Fusion Energi.
Loud Gas Engine
Well, it's a comfortable sedan that's painless and pleasant to drive until the electric motor runs out of juice and the gasoline engine kicks in. Each of our staffers reported issues with this transition. The problem is that the Fusion Energi is a great electric car, but once the gasoline engine kicks in, the party is over. It's not so much that you can feel it; that part is managed fairly well. The issue is that you can hear it.
Honestly, if that gas engine were running the whole time, we'd probably have nothing but praise for the whole car, but because the car is so quiet and smooth in full EV mode, the gas engine kicking in is all the more noticeable. We've experienced a similar issue with other electric cars. The Nissan Leaf, for example, is so quiet that wind noise is more obvious at higher speeds simply because the car isn't making all the usual mechanical sounds.
Of course, drivers who rarely use the gasoline engine won't mind this problem, right? Yes and no.
The Fusion Energi's electric-only range is 21 miles. By comparison, the Toyota Prius Plug-In has an EV-only range of just 11 miles, and the Honda Accord Plug-In Hybrid has an estimated range of 13 miles. Suddenly, the Fusion's 21 miles seems generous. During our two weeks with the car, the best we could do was 19 miles, and one driver reported getting as little as 15 miles in EV-only mode. Still, that means the Fusion's worst day is better than the Prius and Accord Plug-In's best.
The real issue here is about expectations. If you're expecting the Ford Fusion Energi to work like the Chevy Volt and its 38-mile electric-only range, you'll be disappointed. But if you want a comfortable, good-looking car that uses an electric-only mode to bring the fuel economy way up, then you'll like the Fusion Energi.
The Chevy Volt may be a good comparison on paper, but in reality the Fusion Energi is bigger, more comfortable, feels more like a premium sedan and is arguably better-looking -- in short, it's a better car unless EV range is your No. 1 priority.
Simply Too Expensive
There's one car, however, that highlights the Energi's shortcomings: Ford's own Fusion Hybrid (a gas-powered hybrid rather than a plug-in like the Energi), which offers many of the Energi's benefits and few of the drawbacks.
The Fusion Hybrid also touts an impressive 47 miles per gallon in combined city and highway driving, placing it near the top of the fuel-efficient midsize sedan world. Better yet, the Fusion Hybrid starts at around $28,000 with shipping, vastly undercutting the Energi's $35,500 base price -- a figure that's still excessive, even after a major price cut for the 2014 model year. And, of course, the Fusion Hybrid has more trunk space than the Energi, though it's still a few cu ft short of the standard Fusion.
Our view: You should only buy a Fusion Energi if you absolutely must have a plug-in hybrid. And even then, do a little research before you sign the papers. After all, the Chevrolet Volt offers a much longer range (38 miles) but only seats four and is much less plush inside. The Toyota Prius Plug-In boasts a considerably lower base price but about half of the Fusion's EV range. Both the Prius Plug-in and the Volt, however, offer better cargo volume than the 2014 Ford Fusion Energi.
The Chevy Volt is probably the best of the bunch, but at this point, all plug-in hybrids force you into some kind of compromise.

In early 1930s Germany, the political landscape is on the verge of exploding as Hitler's Third Reich begins its rise to power.
American writer Cliff Bradshaw falls for English cabaret singer Sally Bowles at the seedy Kit Kat Klub in Berlin. The events are overseen by the leering and flamboyant Master of Ceremonies, whose songs serve as a sardonic commentary throughout the show.
Ashland High School will present "Cabaret," with performances at 7:30 p.m. Thursdays through Saturdays, March 6-8 and 13-15, in the Mountain Avenue Theater at the school, 201 S. Mountain Ave. Matinees are 2 p.m. Sundays, March 9 and 16. The show is rated PG-13 for its mature themes.
Featured musical numbers include "Willkommen," "Cabaret," "Don't Tell Mama" and "Two Ladies." Oregon Shakespeare Festival actor Jeremy Johnson directs the musical, and choreography is by Carolanne Marano. This year marks AHS Theatre's 20th year in partnership with OSF.
For his first time directing AHS students, Johnson picked "Cabaret" because of its powerful story about how people react to a changing political climate.
"It's really one of the great musicals of the 20th century," Johnson says.
The AHS Theatre Department will perform the 1987 Broadway revival version of the musical. While similar to the original 1966 production, this version includes a new song for Cliff, titled "Don't Go."
The leading players are Jonathan Connolly as the Master of Ceremonies, Caitlin Campbell as Sally Bowles and Noah Werthaiser as Cliff Bradshaw. Tessa Buckley, Cadaxa Chapman-Ball, Lea Crepin, Madison Gilpin, Amelia Sorensen and Kaya Van Dyke play the Kit Kat Girls. The cast is rounded out by 24 more student actors.
Johnson says that working with this cast has been wonderful.
"I've directed student casts before, but never one this big," Johnson says. "We needed a cast that, whether this was their first show or their 20th show, were really game for anything we needed from them, and they were. They also get along really well. It's a happy bunch."
In addition to the cast, a crew of more than 30 students is involved on the production side.
"The production is being run by theater professionals," Johnson says. "But all the boots on the ground are students."
General seating costs $15, $10 for ages 66 and older and 17 and younger,. Tickets can be purchased at Paddington Station, Tree House Books and Music Coop.
Reserved seating costs $20 and can be purchased online at www.showtix4u.com or by calling 1-866-967-8167.

Trying to figure out what to read after DC's New 52? IGW humbly suggests some great indie reads! Plus, news and reviews from the last two weeks!
The News Reel
In a stunning shocker, writer J.T. Krul announced that he was stepping down as the writer of Green Arrow. In an open letter to his facebook friends, J.T Krul admitted that he simply could not come to terms with DC's new editorial mandate that said that the character should have mutton chops instead of his usual goatee. "I'm not a fan of DC's new direction with Oliver Queen," said Krul. "Losing his lustrous goatee and giving him mutton chops robs the character of everything that places him apart from the dozens of other archers running around comics." DC pointed out that it was not his beard that set him apart but rather his liberal sensibilities, hot temper and misfortune with the ladies, all of which they also disposed of in the Relaunch.
Marvel and DC have been engaging in guerilla marketing tactics in social networking. DC fired the first shot when they bought ads that appeared every time someone searched for a Marvel character on twitter. Marvel countered by buying ad space on Youtube that popped up whenever someone searched for DC's TV ads or video reviews. DC upped the ante by setting a bag of dog crap on fire and leaving it at the front door of Marvel's publishing office in New York. No words on how Marvel will respond, but rumors indicate that Marvel has stockpiled a large amount of toilet paper.
Marvel announced that Ultimate Comics Ultimate Spider-Man #1 was the top-selling digital comic of all time. In related news, my aunt announced that her daughter's lemonade stand had also broken all records and had become the top-selling lemonade distributor on her block. Industry analysts believe that the sell-thru volume of the digital comic and the young girl's lemonade stand are comparable.
Cross-Promoting Indie Books During DC's Relaunch
DC has dominated the comic book industry buzz in recent months. Their (sort of) relaunch and (sort of) bold new direction has captured the industry's fascination and overshadowed several other "major" announcements from Marvel, leaving many fans frustrated that their favorite company is being overlooked in favor of the abolition of Superman's overpanties. When discussing DC's dominance of the press yesterday, I realized that DC's recent press blitz has been detrimental to a different genre of book that has nothing to do with islands of spiders or a hairy mutant's penchant for filicide.
Independent comics have long been a rugged underdog when compared to comics that the big two put out. Although many indie books are superior in quality to their mainstream counterpart, their lack of recognizable characters and a dedicated marketing department puts the books at a disadvantage. However, unlike "mainstream" superhero comic books which rely on a dedicated fanbase's desire to read regular installments of their favorite characters, indie comics benefit by being "slow burners". Titles such as Y: The Last Man continue to sell years after the series' end due to a steady buzz and interest from "non-traditional" comic book readers.
If you're enjoying some of DC's new books, why not branch out a little and check out a corresponding independent title? Below is a list of some of DC's New 52 and some series you might want to try out if you're looking for more comics in a similar vein.
If you liked Justice League: Geoff Johns has stated that the new Justice League focuses on the interpersonal relationships between characters such as Green Lantern, Batman and Superman. Another superhero book built around relationships is Robert Kirkman and Ryan Ottley's Invincible. Invincible chronicles the struggles and development of Mark Grayson, the teenaged son of the world's premier superhero. After a stunning twist twelve issues in, Mark has to step in the role his father once held while juggling his relationships with his family and friends.
Invincible's strength is the methodical build-up of various subplots and arcs. Kirkman grows his plots organically and doesn't rush them to fulfill a need for a "big event" in the book. While I can't say that a moment in Invincible has shocked me per say, it is satisfying to watch a long-running subplot come to fruition. Invincible isn't a "perfect" superhero book, but neither is Justice League. If you're looking for a book that mixes action with characterization and drama, Invincible is the book for you.
If you liked Batwing: I've seen comments on several boards that Batwing fills a hole left by the cancellation of Unknown Soldier, a book that focused on the civil war in Uganda. While the first issue of Batwing only hints about the geopolitical turmoil in Africa, Jonathan Dysart's Vertigo series really digs in and brazenly confronts the reality of child soldiers and the daily brutality in one of the most ignored conflicts occurring today. It's a hard-hitting, uncompromising book that examines not only the tragedy in Uganda but also the ugliness of human nature.
If you liked Animal Man: There are plenty of superlative horror comics published by independent publishers today. The finest of these is Locke and Key, which is one of the best comics in publication today. At both Animal Man and Locke and Key's core is a unique family dynamic that's tested by paranormal forces. While the Baker clan struggles with Buddy's life as a superhero and his connection to the Bleed, the Locke family have to contend with a mysterious force that haunts their father's childhood home and may have something to do with his death at the hands of one of his students.
Locke and Key is brilliant, frightening and dark with rich, vibrant characters and a paranormal plot that leaves you constantly begging for more. Gabriel Rodriguez's artwork is phenomenal and catches the surrealism and emotion that the Locke children face and their struggle to maintain a normal life in the face of mounting tragedy. There's a reason that Joe Hill's series was adapted into a TV series pilot (which was unfortunately passed by Fox, who decided that Ramsey's Violently Cursing at Food was a safer programming choice) and is widely hailed as a favorite by many industry pros. Do yourself a favor and read the first arc of Locke and Key and try not to hurt anyone when you rush out for more.
If you like Men of War: Men of War examines the life a soldier living in a world of superheroes. If you enjoy war genre comics, DMZ is a Vertigo title that examines civil war and the collapse of society from the eyes of an embedded reporter. Set in a not too distant future where the Island of Manhattan has become a battleground between the United States and a collection of separatist states, DMZ is a nuanced book that examines ideologue, warfare and American culture in a captivating series.
If you're more interested in how superheroes affect other public servants, be sure to check out Ex Machina as well. The Brian Vaughn series combines superheroics with modern day politics in a post 9/11 world. Shocking, controversial and engaging, Ex Machina is a must read for anyone curious about political discourse in a world of superpowers.
If you like I, Vampire: While I, Vampire hasn't come out yet, early buzz has the series pegged as a dark horse during the DC Relaunch. Vampires have always had a home in comics and there are currently two superior vampire stories on shelves today. The first is Undying Love, written by Tomm Coker and Daniel Freedman. The series is an action-packed series that focuses on the relationship between badass John Sargent and Mei, who's been bitten by one of the strongest vampires in existence. In order to save Mei from the eternal life of a vampire, Sargent has to face off against vampires and other Chinese supernatural creatures.
The other series is the much lauded American Vampire series by Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque. American Vampire examines the emergence of a new breed of vampire in American history. Snyder has built a surprisingly deep world in a variety of historical backdrops ranging from the Pacific Theatre of World War II to the Wild West. It's an amazing story and will instantly draw you in.
If you Like All-Star Western: Do you enjoy the Wild West? Would you like to see what happened after the West was won? Check out Scalped, Jason Aaron and R.M. Guera's modern day examination of the Lakota tribe in South Dakota. Much like Jonah Hex, All-Star Western's spiritual predecessor, Scalped doesn't hold back in showing the seedy underbelly and corruption in one of the last corners of the Old West. Scalped is a powerful read that captures the "spirit" of the Wild West in a modern setting.
If you're looking for a different twist on a Western tale, why not try The Sixth Gun, the best supernatural western on the market? Set in the Reconstruction Era, The Sixth Gun mixes thunderbirds with gunslingers and mummies with a train showdown. The book focuses on six guns of immense power who fall in the hands of Drake Sinclair, a mysterious rogue, and Rebecca Moncrief, an innocent but able-bodied girl.
If you Like Teen Titans: Teen Titans is the popular teenage superhero title that has suffered lately from a string of mediocre artists and writers. If you're looking for a more consistent source of angst, romance, drama and a whole lot of danger, check out Nick Spencer's Morning Glories. The Morning Glory Academy is a deadly academy in which students live up to expectations or die gruesome deaths, often at the hands of their teachers. A new group of students don't take too kindly to the administrations' brutal philosophy and look to escape with their lives intact. Spencer tosses in hints of a supernatural mystery mixed with Lost-like flashbacks to make the series one of the most captivating reads on the market.
If you Like Red Lanterns: Red Lanterns may have been a stinker of a title, but it does feature one of the coolest characters to come out of DC in the last five years. Dex-Starr the Rage Cat is the angry blue furball that has won the hearts of everyone not named Punchy McChimneySweep. If you're looking to get a fix of kickass animals without having to suffer from one of DC's worst offerings, try IDW's revamp of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles.
It's impossible not to know the basic concept behind the TMNT. Four turtles were mutated in a lab experiment and evolved to become pizza-loving teenaged ninja. The revamp is written by Kevin Eastman, creator of the TMNT, and is delving into some less-explored corners of the TMNT mythos. Whether you're a fan of the cartoons and movies or simply are looking for a fun comic, TMNT is the book for you.
If you Like Swamp Thing: Swamp Thing, written by Scott Snyder, showcases the writer's ability to write weird and creepy tales that leave readers uncomfortable and wanting more. Another one of his creepy horror tales is Image's Severed. Severed is a period piece that focuses on a young man's search for his biological father who gains the attention of an unusual killer. The book is a disturbing read that leaves readers on the edge of their seats wondering what will happen next.
So what are your cross-sells for the DC Relaunch? Leave your suggestions in the comments!

Use of outdated technologies could spell doom for HHS's health records
I have some experience in health care information technology systems, having built an early stage telehealth system called Teleprovider in 1996. That system managed patient records, enabled videoconferencing for tele-consultations, facilitated collaborative whiteboarding and handled images compliant with the Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine standard.
I learned a lot from that experience and enjoyed working with the doctors at Stanford University and Samsung Medical Center. Seeing the doctors use my nascent Java whiteboarding application — remember this was 1996 — for a tele-consultation between the university and a Korean hospital was especially rewarding.
Thus, given my interest, I recently joined the Healthcare Information and Management Systems Society and have been trying to untangle the convoluted web of health care data standards. My attempt to understand this mess has been unsuccessful so far. And if someone like me — someone with years of experience in IT and a small amount of experience in health care — can't figure it out, where does that leave the average person?
For now, even from my limited vantage point, I see two trends that concern me: use of outdated technologies and limited transparency.

Baker: VA making progress on lifetime electronic record system
Health network is ready — and waiting for your records
First, let's examine the issues around outdated technology. On July 28, the Health and Human Services Department posted its final rule on the initial set of standards for electronic health records (EHRs). Two points in the rule stood out: First, in response to comments, they removed the adoption of Simple Object Access Protocol (SOAP) and Representational State Transfer (REST). So, whereas the majority of industry and government is moving as fast as possible to adopt those Web-based technologies, our so-called modernized health care system will need to stick with its hodgepodge of protocols.
Second, there was the selection of many Health Level 7 standards, including some based on Electronic Data Interchange. EDI is binary-formatted — newer versions are text-based — pre-Internet, pre-XML, 1970s technology. Given that Extensible Markup Language has been a standard since 1998, this is outdated technology.
Before you say, "But it works," remember that "working" from a user perspective does not mean there are not serious negative ramifications for continued use of an outdated technology. For example, I can still send messages using paper and postal mail, but it is much more efficient to use e-mail. And as the years pass and improvements in technology continue to pile up, the performance gap between old and new technology grows exponentially. Welcome to Moore's law.
An even more egregious example is the Veterans Affairs Department's Veterans Health Information System and Technology Architecture for EHR. VA is pushing this as the future of EHRs, but it is built upon a prerelational database, pre-object-oriented, 1960s-era programming language called the Massachusetts General Hospital Utility Multi-Programming System. If you examine the Wikipedia page on MUMPS, you will see a sample program that is in violation of almost every modern best practice for programming. I am flabbergasted — a 1960s programming language as the future of health care. Wow.
And let's briefly examine the issues around transparency. Why are HHS datasets on the department's own website instead of Data.gov? That defeats the purpose of having Data.gov. And HHS has selected a set of standards that the public does not have access to because HL7 charges to view its standards. Why not select a standard such as openEHR that is free to the public? HL7 also has been criticized by Barry Smith, whom I have worked with and respect. Data standards for something that will affect every recipient of medical care should be available for public review.
Frankly, I think an EHR train wreck is possible unless HHS gets serious about tackling these issues. I readily admit that I am still a novice in this domain and am happy to be proven wrong on these issues. Of course, there is really only one way to find out — let's see the road map to replace outdated technologies — and, more important, show us the data standards.

M is natively NOSQL, but if you want SQL it's there, if you want objects that's there too. EHR's are a mess in general, the VA's is very good and has improved healthcare for our vets immensely. We have the stats to prove it. Medicine and EHRs need more sophisticated software there has not been an adequate blend of comp sci and medicine. EHR's can tell you what happened, but we need better predictive technology and population stats built in to really improve treatments. This is the frontier, but you have to walk before you run.
So the author likes his favorite buzz-phrase technology, and doesn't like other technology. To him, whether or not a system works is back seat to whether or not it is made with his favorite technology. Yes, of course, the world is on his bandwagon!
Yes, Mumps includes a language (it's primarily a database though, and one the NoSQL guys are rapidly and accidently reinventing!). The example in Wikipedia shouldn't be thought of as an example of how a modern programmer would write Mumps code. At the time that code was written, it was optimised to run faster than anything else at the time on PDP processors that had less processing power than the chip in your toaster in your kitchen.
Since that time, the Mumps language has actually included for many years everything needed to support modern programming practices and, when written and used properly, bears an uncanny resemblence to Python and can be just as well-behaved, understandable and maintainable.
So please don't judge a language (that you really don't know much about) by a 30-year old example of code. There's plenty of examples around of dreadful coding in even the most modern of languages.
There's no reason why ongoing modernisation of the VistA code in Mumps shouldn't be extremely effective, and it's a damned sight less risky than trying to rip and replace the whole lot to a "more modern" language.
I suspect HHR isn't required by law to do so, but their program managers and the folks writing their system development contracts should seriously review CJCSI 6212.01(latest) on interoperability requirements. It's not an easy instruction, but there are additional resources to help interpret. It's not an easy approach either - but it's easier and cheaper than cleaning up a train wreck. Time to pull up the big boy briefs and get to work.
Excellent analysis. HL7 shouldn't be singled out. ASC X12 the home of most EDI standards is just as obsolete. What's even more appalling is the resistance the volunteers and most consultants whom develop these obsolete standards put up to block the development, use, and implementtion of true open standards that can be used nationally and internationally.

It was good experience. MR. Praveen was so responsive on all matter. Just had issue with Houseboat as it was not neat and clean. It was kind of boring experience as we checked into houseboat and 1 PM and they park houseboat at 5 PM. Also houseboat was parked at very dirty area where dirty smell coming in. Staff of houseboat was not able to understand Hindi or English. So i was hard for us to get time going from 5 PM to next day morning.
Thank you

What difference does cable thickness make in PA leads?
As a rough guide we suggest that for a 100 Watts power or lengths under 25 metre that you can use 1.25mm sq cable but due to prices being so close we feel that it is not even worth offering you these so all our cables are at least 2.5mm. This means that you are able to use our speakon cables for any application.
Our heavy duty speakon cable is the ultimate speaker lead using 4mm sq cable it can withstand very rough usage and is made to last.

I accept the T&C and Privacy Policy.
Once the favored holiday hideaway for Hollywood celebrities such as Tony Curtis, Rock Hudson and John Wayne, Mazatlan has grabbed the spotlight as a preferred spring break destination and a perennial favorite port of call for cruise passengers.
In recent years, however, the city has found itself losing market share to Mexico's newer destinations, with their seemingly endless construction of glitzy, all-inclusive properties. And certainly the idea of all-you-can-drink margaritas and round-the-clock buffet lines has its appeal. But as travelers are starting to clamor for more authentic experiences, Mazatlan is perfectly poised to reclaim its position as a favorite of Mexico's tourism industry.
In addition to its prime location along the Pacific Coast, Mazatlan has a rich history dating back to the 1500s and a charming historic center. Here, merchants line the square, but instead of selling pre-fabricated souvenirs, vendors are far more likely to display hand-crafted items.
City officials are so proud of Mazatlan's history that they have made it a part of the tourism board's marketing slogan: "Colonial City on the Beach." But while the city's historic center adds to its charm, Mazatlan is a multi-faceted locale that offers a new surprise around every corner, even for seasoned travelers.
Pre-History at Las LabradasAbout an hour by car from Mazatlan is Las Labradas archaeological zone, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Some 600 stone-carved petroglyphs can be found here, engraved with a system of ancient icons that is still being interpreted by historians. This is the largest site of its kind in Mexico and the only one in the world located on a coastal tidal zone. Although the rocks take a daily pounding from the elements — some are even submerged for part of the day — many remain remarkably well preserved.
The site is believed to possess great spiritual power. Visitors here can experience a sample of Maya culture when locals play music and perform the famed folkloric deer dance. With some advance notice, visitors can participate in a Maya blessing, or enjoy a meditation ceremony on the rocks. In spring, the spot is the home of the annual Spring Equinox festival.
A Thriving Artists' CommunityBecause of Mazatlan's low cost of living — historic homes in need of a little TLC can be purchased for less than $75,000 in Mazatlan's historic center — artists from around the world have started to take up residence here. So extensive is the artist community that a public art walk is hosted on the first Friday of the month, between November and May. Painters, sculptors, printmakers, photographers and fabric artists all open their studios throughout the historic district. The walk alone is worth the time just to see how the artists have restored the homes located throughout the area. Some 25 stops and nearly 50 artists participate each week.
Party TimeMore than 300,000 people will descend upon Mazatlan from Feb. 27 to March 4 this year to celebrate Carnival. The "Mazatlecos" have been observing this tradition for more than a century — 116 years to be exact — and not only is the celebration the largest in Mexico, it is the third-largest in the world, with only Rio de Janeiro and New Orleans touting larger celebrations. Annual activities include a "Bad Mood Burning" ceremony, an "Anything Goes" ball and a variety of ceremonies honoring local artists.
For the BirdsMazatlan's shores provide a resting stop along the Pacific Flyway migratory route, and they are particularly popular with the ducks and shorebirds that travel throughout coastal Mexico. Because the area is home to diverse ecosystems, including coastal wetlands, thorny forests and high-elevation pine-oak forests, visitors can find a wide range of bird life. More than 1,000 species can be found in Mazatlan and its surrounding areas, and 20 percent of the birds are unique to this region.
Every January, the city hosts an annual bird-watching festival, which features tours, art exhibits and workshops to promote conservation efforts.
Getting in GearMore than 15,000 motorcyclists from around the Americas gather in Mazatlan every April for the annual International Motorcycle Week event, now in its 19th year. During the week, bike fans can participate in drag-racing competitions or ride an established "endurance route." Beach parties, regional trips and a parade along Mazatlan's malecon (boardwalk) round out the festivities. During the rest of the year, Mazatlan Motorcycle Adventures can organize guided day tours.

Living Colour's Corey Glover in "Cult Of Personality"
Giving Cults A Good Name
Welcome to Forgotten Videos, "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!!" edition, showcasing past GRAMMY winners and nominees. For some, these videos are forgotten, for others just filed away, and for others still, a totally brand-new discovery. Whichever category you fall into, each week until the nominations special on Dec. 1 we'll feature a video from a GRAMMY-winning or –nominated artist that's possibly been collecting dust when what it really deserves is a fresh look. Or, just for old times' sake. We just want to take you on a little trip down memory lane. Yep, you'll remember when hair was really that big, when drums were that up front in the mix, when video was young(er) and so were you.
Living Colour
"Cult Of Personality"
In 1988 Living Colour, an African-American hard rock outfit, broke all the unspoken rules of the genre, namely that it was for white, middle-class, disaffected youth only. While the '60s gave rise to iconic rockers of color (Jimi Hendrix, Sly Stone), by the late-'80s (with the exception of Prince, who could go funk, jam band, quiet storm, and rock at his whim) rock was almost exclusively the province of head-banging, spandex-clad blonds. Enter Living Colour (drummer Will Calhoun, vocalist Corey Glover, guitarist Vernon Reid, and bassist Muzz Skillings), a band that, like the spirit inherent in the un-American spelling of its name, refused to be hemmed in by the preconceived notions of a stereotypical rock band.
The band won an early fan in Mick Jagger, who as much as any rocker understood the African-American roots from which rock sprang. The Rolling Stones frontman produced a demo and helped get the band signed to Epic Records. After a slow start, the band's debut album, Vivid, and the track "Cult Of Personality" became huge hits. Not only did "Cult..." climb to No. 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, it made it to No. 9 on the Mainstream Rock chart. The song also earned a Best Hard Rock Performance GRAMMY in 1989. (Living Colour would win the same award a year later for the title track to their sophomore album, "Time's Up.")
Befitting of their name, the band drew upon a diverse palette of talent. A graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music, Calhoun and his driving grooves were complemented by Skillings' complex bass lines to form a high-energy, adventurous rhythm section. Reid's inventive rock- and funk-laced rhythmic work, combined with his unpredictable and improvisatory soloing, landed him on the cover of respectable music publications such as Guitar Player. Rounding out the unique blend was Glover, whose vocals drew from elements of rock, rap, soul, and blues.
To seal their role as revolutionaries, Living Colour didn't shy away from social messages in their music. "Cult Of Personality" takes aim at world leaders' ability to win power and allegiance by creating unblemished public images for very blemished people. Name-dropping Benito Mussolini and Joseph Stalin, as well as John F. Kennedy and Mahatma Gandhi, the song cautions us to beware of ceding power to any one individual. (The song's intro also includes an edited quote from a Malcolm X speech, and the closing features the memorable quote from Franklin D. Roosevelt, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself.")
Okay, so maybe some of the song's impact is overshadowed by Glover's tight yellow-spandex bike shorts. But, it was the '80s after all.
Who's today's cult of personality? Got a Forgotten Video recommendation? Leave us a comment. And don't forget to tune into "The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown To Music's Biggest Night" on Dec. 1 from 10–11 p.m. ET/PT on CBS.

|For the mission, see Verdant Meadows (mission).
Verdant Meadows Airfield is an abandoned airstrip in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, located in the northern desert of Bone County, San Andreas.
The airstrip is located north of Area 69 and east of El Castillo del Diablo. The airstrip has a single, dirt runway lined with random airplane parts, a control tower and hangars. While flying an airplane in the game, it will show up as an airport landing strip on the HUD similarly to the airports in San Fierro, Las Venturas, and Los Santos. The airstrip is also a safehouse after being purchased, allowing the player to save their game. Upon purchase Verdant Meadows provides a landing site, a garage for vehicles, a hangar for planes (or vehicles), a save point and Flying School. After completing the mission Green Goo, Verdant Meadows becomes an asset property, generating income for Carl over time.
- PCJ-600 - Spawns by the water tower. It tends to spawn even before the player purchases the property.
- Rustler - Spawns in the hangar closest to the Air Traffic Control Tower after completing the mission Learning to Fly.
- Stuntplane - Spawns next to the hangar where the Rustler is located after getting all silver or higher in Flying School.
- Hunter - Spawns on the helipad after getting all gold in Flying School. May alternate with the Leviathan.
- Leviathan - Spawns on the helipad after completing the mission Up, Up and Away!.
- Jetpack - Spawns right next to the Air Traffic Control Tower entrance after completing the mission Green Goo.
- Hydra - Spawns in the hangar furthest away from the Air Traffic Control Tower after completing the mission Vertical Bird.
- Assorted bikes and other vehicles spawn in a parking lot off the southeast corner of the property, next to the south access road.
- A beater Sadler and a Sea Sparrow spawn north of the airstrip.
NOTE : When both the Leviathan and the Hunter are unlocked, only one of the two can spawn. Arrive from the west to spawn the Hunter and from the east to spawn the Leviathan.
Storyline Missions
Verdant Meadows is the setting for several missions given by Mike Toreno and The Truth, starting off with the mission Verdant Meadows where the player is instructed by Toreno to go to the airstrip and purchase it for $80,000. The player will then have to go through Pilot School in order to continue with Toreno's missions. The player must receive a bronze medal in each of the 10 lessons to continue. A specific aircraft will spawn in one of the hangars depending on whether the player received all bronze, silver or gold in every lesson.
The first mission given by Toreno at the airstrip is N.O.E., where the player pilots a Rustler to drop off a package in Angel Pine and back. Next is the mission Stowaway, where a cargo plane lands in the airstrip and the player is instructed to drive a PCJ-600 to enter the plane before it takes off, find and kill the agent with the parachute, plant a satchel charge, and jump off with the parachute. The third mission is Black Project, given by The Truth. The player must sneak into the adjacent military base Area 69 and steal the Black Project. Then, the player must deliver it to The Truth on the Arco del Oeste. Then, in Green Goo, given by The Truth, the player uses his new jetpack to take a jar of green goo from a guarded, moving train. After this mission, the airstrip becomes an asset, generating up to $10,000.
Mike Toreno's Missions
Truth's Missions
- The name is ironic, as Verdant means a land covered with flourishing plants and grass, but the place is located in the dry, barren desert of Bone County.
- Despite the hangar's huge size, it can only store four vehicles. Storing a fifth vehicle (of any kind) will result in one or more of them disappearing.
- The airfield is possibly based on Kingman Airport in Arizona.
- The wings of one of the planes on the southwestern side of the property form a unique stunt jump.
- A second garage for automobiles and bikes is located next to the water tower; this is the only safehouse to provide two working "garages".
- The hangar is the only garage large enough to store a derailed train. If the player attempts this, however, the game will crash when the player attempts to open the hangar or flies over it.
- Verdant Meadows didn't exist in the Beta map of San Andreas.
- The "Abandoned Air Traffic Control Tower" safehouse is not located at the Hidden Interiors Universe, but below the building itself.
- The plane wrecks on the side of the airstrip resemble an Andromada, but these wrecks lack the black nose and feature a different horizontal stabilizer design at the rear of the fuselage.

Churchill: The Unexpected Hero
This book is part of the Oxford University Press' Lives and Legacies series. It is a short book about Winston Churchill, an extremely famous British Prime Minister. Even though short, the book does a good job of detailing Churchill's long career. The author's central thesis is that Churchill's huge ego was both his greatest flaw and his greatest strength. He was a genius, but he sometimes made bad choices because he didn't ask other people for advice....

NBA season to resume, with grieving Lakers trying to regroup and Heat looking to keep rolling
- Image 1 of 2
- Image 2 of 2
HOUSTON – Kobe Bryant and the Los Angeles Lakers turned their attention Monday from bad basketball and trade talk to more somber matters.
The death of longtime owner Jerry Buss was a blow for a franchise in the midst of a difficult season. They are 25-29 and currently out of the playoff race. Pau Gasol is hurt and Dwight Howard is unhappy, leading to speculation he could be dealt before Thursday's trade deadline even though the Lakers have said otherwise.
Yet Bryant spoke confidently of a turnaround Sunday after the All-Star game, hours before Buss' death at 80. Bryant says, "We just have to continue to improve and we'll do much better in the second half."
It starts Tuesday, with the Lakers looking to get back on track, the Miami Heat in command in the East and LeBron James in command of everyone.

Baby Boomer Nutrition High Priority for Food Processors
Nutrition has become baby boomers antidote for most of the negative effects of aging.
Read more Nutrition and Aging articles:
12 FDA-sanctioned health claims
Baby boomers are regarded as an important generation for food and beverage marketers, partly because of their needs and partly because they tend to have high disposable incomes. Nutrition has a pivotal role in the health and anti-aging efforts of baby boomers. In fact, nutrition is increasingly a popular boomer antidote to growing old.
Anti-aging and vitality are enduring themes among baby boomers. Boomers are using nutrition to take the sting out of age-related complaints including pain, memory loss, fatigue, indigestion and declining vision (for a discussion of the food and beverage role in eye health).
Functional foods and beverages are becoming popular solutions to heart health, diabetes, hypertension, chronic pain and joint issues – chronic ailments plaguing boomers.
Food processors take note: According to Metlife Mature Market Institute (www.maturemarketinstitute.com), Hartford, Conn., one out of every four Americans is a boomer, and they are investing a growing proportion of their $2 trillion in expenditures in 2007 on foods and beverages that meet their desire for youth and vitality.
A healthy ticker
Heart health is one of the greatest concerns for boomers, especially following the questionable American diet of the past few decades. A number of food ingredients, both naturally occurring and easily added, are addressing this concern.
Mars Inc. set the world on its ear in 2006 when it started marketing chocolate as a heart-health food. Its launch of the CocoaVia brand, based on company research into cocoa flavanols, created a rage that delighted boomers with sweet tooths and has been copied by other chocolate companies the world over.
"Dark chocolate contains high levels of antioxidant flavanols," says Renee Kopkowski, director of corporate communications for Mars Snackfood US (www.mars.com), Hackettstown, N.J. Mars pioneered cocoa flavanol scientific research for more than 15 years in partnership with some of the world's most respected universities and institutions, including Harvard University and the University of California-Davis. As a result, Mars holds more than 30 patents related to flavanols, including a process to retain much of these compounds during processing of the cocoa.
In addition, the company established Mars Botanical last year as a new scientific division of Mars Inc. to market cocoa flavanols.
"Coronary heart disease and cholesterol management are key issues for boomers," says Pam Stauffer, global marketing programs and communications manager at Cargill Inc. (www.cargill.com), Wayzata, Minn. "Clinical studies support the cholesterol lowering power of phytosterols – plant-derived sterols and stanols," says Stauffer.
Cargill has a list of ingredients for heart health: CoroWise plant sterols for cholesterol reduction, Barliv barley beta glucan and Leci PC phosphatidylcholine. And for other boomer ailments: Leci PS phosphatidylserine for brain health and, for joint health, Arthred Hydrolyzed collagen and Regenasure glucosamine.
Omega-3 fatty acids are key nutrients essential for heart health. The anti-inflammatory action of long-chain predominantly marine-sourced eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) fatty acids and the shorter-chain plant-derived alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) may be added to a variety of food products through advances in micro-encapsulation and other ingredient coating technologies.
"Omega-3 fatty acids with the right balance of natural vegetable oils are the key to changing our lipid profile" explains Rick Werner, vice president and general manager of Smart Balance (www.smartbalance.com), Boulder, Colo. Its original spread started out with "the perfect blend of polyunsaturated, monounsaturated and saturated fats," as determined by researchers at Brandeis University, as a way to improve cholesterol, but the company since has added omega-3s to improve the health profile.
Smart Balance has branched out into a range of food products, including popcorn, peanut butter and even milk, all aimed at lowering cholesterol. The message and health benefits are hitting home with baby boomers, who are exhibiting a heightened consciousness of their lipid numbers.
Likewise, Unilever (www.unilever.com), Englewood Cliffs, N.J., is taking advantage of the FDA heart-health claim and endorsement from the National Cholesterol Education Program to promote these fat soluble compounds in Promise activ SuperShots. These refrigerated mini-drinks (100ml/3.3-oz.) help consumers remove cholesterol from their system.

I'm looking for some advice on race boards please. I've just decided I'd like to give it a go but there are loads of boards to choose from. I've seen the boards from North, Naish, Cabrihna, Aguera, Flysurfer Flyrace and more. I've never riden a race board before but want it for lighter wind days, going fast up and downwind and if I like it I might do some races, not to compete for a top place more for the experience if you know what I mean.
So here are my questions...
1. What is the most popular board used in National comps?
2. Are there any Naish boards in the UK?
3. Anyone tried different brands back to back?
4. Is it better to have a board that can be changed from 3 to 4 fins depending on the course?
5. Are race boards ok (comfy) to ride around on for a few hours taking it easy or are they better suited to full on (leg burning) speed all the time?
I have a Flydoor XL that is awesome, if the race boards are way faster/better up and downwind than that I'm very interested to try them out. I have a Flysurfer sp3 19 and 12 dlx and 9,7,5 Wainmans, so you're going to tell me all I need is an Ozone/Cab 15m and sets of extension lines right?
...sorry for all the questions in one post and thanks in advance for any input

Requests for oral argument or the taking of testimony must be made not later than 5 days after expiration of the time for filing briefs the answer brief.
(b) Failure to File Briefs. Failure to file a brief by the moving party
is may be deemed an admission that, in the opinion of party or counsel, the motion is without merit.

(d) Time Limit for Filing Motion. Except for good cause shown, a motion must be filed in such time that it may be heard not later than the date set for pretrial of the case.
(e) Application of Rule. This rule does not apply when it conflicts with another rule adopted by the Supreme Court.
Rule 3.2 was amended, effective September 1, 1983; March 1, 1986; January 1, 1988; March 1, 1990; January 1, 1995; ________________.
The language of subdivision (a) does not prevent a court from adopting a local rule requiring that every motion be noticed for
hearing oral argument, if due allowance is made for a telephonic hearing.
Subdivision (a) was amended, effective March 1, 1990, to provide that the request for oral argument on the motion must be granted when the party requesting oral argument has timely served and filed a brief. This amendment clarifies the rule in accordance with Anton v. Anton, 442 N.W.2d 445 (N.D. 1989).
Subdivision (a) was amended, effective January 1, 1995, in response to First Western Bank of Minot v. Wickman, 464 N.W.2d 195 (N.D. 1990; Breyfogle v. Braun, 460 N.W.2d 689 (N.D. 1990). Those cases provide that a written motion must be noticed, and that the notice must indicate that oral argument has been requested or that the motion will be decided on briefs unless oral argument is requested. In addition, the amendment shortens the time between the date a motion is filed and the date a motion may be heard by eliminating the five-day period within which the movant's brief could be filed.

Turtle Beach Video Advantage PCI
As the previous era of magnetically recorded tapes fades into history, the new digital era of faster and sharper video has almost completed its takeover. This takeover, however, leaves at least one very serious problem. How do we get all of these volumes of video tapes into the 21st century? Well, depending on the type of video equipment you had, you may have to search high and low to find the proper video capture hardware and then you'll definitely have to think about the software you'll need after that. Video capturing and editing itself, has become a huge industry and you can now find everything from simple USB video capture hardware, all the way to full blown, professional quality equipment for your computer. Turtle Beach has introduced the Video Advantage PCI to the market, to help you make your decision easier. The Video Advantage PCI is a fully equipped video capture hardware suite that includes almost every known video input format, as well as the software you'll need to get the job done right.
Turtle beach was founded in 1985 and produced sound equipment for early personal computers. Having gained a footing in the marketplace with the development and release of the MultiSound sound card, Turtle Beach's success has continued to blossom. In 1996 Turtle Beach was acquired by Voyetra Technologies and continues to produce some of the worlds best audio and video equipment for the PC.
Closer Look:
The packaging the Video Advantage PCI comes in is quite colourful and filled with images and information about the product. Along with a complete listing of the package contents, you can also see a glimpse of the software that is included.
Inside the box almost everything is covered with bubble wrap for protection during shipping. There was no damage that I could see to any of the articles inside the box. Along with the supplied hardware is the software and driver CD's, as well as the instructions.
With the hardware, you can see there are a lot of cables that are supplied. Some are used for interconnecting the hardware inside your PC, while others are supplied to connect your video equipment to the Video Advantage PCI. These are supplied as a convenience, so you don't have to go out and purchase them, which is a very nice touch.
Here is a shot of the front 5.25" drive bay connector panel and the connection points on the Video Advantage PCI card.
After checking the inventory of supplied cables and components, it's now time to install the software.

Gruesome Photo of the Day: Yes, These Bruises Are From Fighting
(Yes, he's comfortable with that. He, is enlightened. / Photo via Reddit_MMA)
That messed-up sumbitch you see above is Mike Barreras, who had the utter misfortune of facing 2011 NCAA Division I Wrestling Champion Bubba Jenkins during the prelims of Bellator 97 last night. The fight ended by TKO early in round 2, but looking at Barreras afterwards, you'd think he'd been gang-stomped for hours. I can't even tell where the eyeball ends and the swollen mess begins. Poor bastard probably doesn't even know that his hat isn't on straight.
The loss dropped Barreras's MMA record to 5-6. His previous career highlights include losing a decision to Isaac Vallie-Flagg, and being falsely accused of raping a 16-year-old. Yeesh. Things will turn around, Mike. We just know they will.Read More DIGG THIS

Player Attack: Yesterday, we confirmed that Saints Row 4 has been Refused Classification in Australia - today, we can tell you why. Those of you who were expecting it to be something typically over-the-top are right on the money - the Board objects (among other things) to the game's inclusion of an "Alien Anal Probe".
its funny as that(Alien Anal Probe) would have been the 1st thing I showed my parents the next time they came over for dinner. I also showed them the purple dildo when SR3 was released and they thought that was funny to.
Is there a harder place to be a gamer than Australia..coupled with the crazy prices.
From what I've seen in the trailers, they aren't really missing out on anything great.
I see aliens probing people on the street all the time in Aus whats the big deal?!

Buy Me Some Peanuts and Cracker Jacks. Happy Opening Day!
There's just something magical about the start of baseball season. 162 games will be contested over the next six months with teams hoping to jump their way into the playoffs for a chance at a World Series title. Even for the fans of teams that are suppose to be in the cellar of the league, Opening Day gives the same feeling of a new start.
Like starting a new career, you find out pretty quickly what you're getting into. The excitement is still there for being (0-0) at the start.
For teams like the Minnesota Twins, Houston Astros, Chicago White Sox, and Miami Marlins, expectations are not overly high but some fans are feeling optimistic about the upcoming season. We have been discussing leading up to the season of how many wins these teams would have. What is found is that expectations are all over the place for the bottom teams.
For example, on Overtime we discussed who would have a better record between the Twins and Astros. A few Houston fans in the area are confident enough in their Astros will have a better record than the Twins. Minnesota fans are all over the map in terms of win totals. Some people are expecting the Twins to win 80+ games, while others are saying 60-65 max.
But that in itself is the most beautiful part of Opening Day. Nobody really knows.
Story-lines for middle teams are even more interesting from last year. Can the Baltimore Orioles and Kansas City Royals continue to push towards the next levell? Will the Royals notch their first back-to-back winning seasons since 1993-1994? Even with spending extra money, will the New York Yankees MISS the playoffs for the second year in a row? The middle teams of baseball are sometimes the most fun to watch, as there will be surprises and there will be disappointments.
Then there are teams like the St. Louis Cardinals, Los Angeles Dodgers, Boston Red Sox, and Washington Nationals at the "top." Will these teams be able to hold on to the high expectations that are set for them this season? A lot of people around the country are very high on the Nationals, and for good reason when you look at their lineup and rotation. That story was the same as last year, and the Nationals ended ten games behind the Braves for the NL East.
All of those questions will be answered starting today. The grass is mowed, the sun will be shining, and the fans will be packing the stadiums.
My last question? Where are my peanuts and Cracker Jacks? Let's play baseball!

text: NAMI Echoes Iowa State Television and Mental Health Study Findings Statement of Bob Carolla National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) Director of Media Relations May 02 2008 ARLINGTON, VA- The National Alliance on Mental Illness's Bob Carolla responded to a recent Iowa State University influence of television on mental health treatment study, "The Iowa State study is right. Television's portrayal of people who live with mental illnesses and people who work in mental health professions too often reflects negative stereotypes. It makes stigma and discrimination worse. Hollywood sometimes gets it right, but only when producers, directors and writers take the time to do their homework. There are basic standards of accuracy, fairness and compassion that still produce good entertainment."
