'Assassin's Creed Revelations' — Game Review
'Assassin's Creed Revelations' is a game for history buffs, lovers of 16th century Constantinople, conspiracy theorists and anyone who would like to shank Adrian Peterson and Derrick Rose in the streets of 16th century Constantinople.
Judging from the game's ad campaign, Peterson and Rose are either big fans of the series or are paid to pretend they are huge fanboys. Whatever the case, we truly hope we spot one of them while we're hiding in virtual hay bales, because we've got scores to settle with both for making us lose drunken bets we made against their teams in Vegas.
Even if you don't find any cloaked superstar athletes to assassinate online, the game still has plenty to offer.
For starters — a carriage chase. An early montage takes you away from the series' familiar outstretched rooftops and crowded courtyards and hands over the reins to race and ram a rival into oblivion. Since our previous experiences with horse buggy racing had been restricted to Thursday nights at the trailer park and some obnoxious, controller-breaking missions in 'Red Dead Redemption," that fact the racing and ramming are so exciting is a testament to the time spent on game development.
This being the fourth 'Assassin's Creed' game in as many years, you'd expect the developers to have fallen into a 'Madden NFL'-like routine of offering more of the same with simple tweaks, but the gameplay has more varied attractions than ladies' night at your local bar.
Without giving too much away — partly to avoid spoilers but mostly because the Dan Brown meets Doc Brown narrative in the game goes way over our heads — the game always keeps you guessing. Players control a rotation of three AC standby protagonists, one of whom has lost his mind and engages in missions that resemble the wacky 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' boat ride in tone. On the way, you learn all sorts of stuff you'll never remember about the golden apple of magic and how an ancient order of assassins have battled over the eons against the Temple something something. See, we just played a minute ago, and we don't even remember half the storyline.
After a few hours after getting the game, we realized we'd been hiding in a hay bale and leaping out to stab people for far too long and it was time to hit the other stack of hay. Adrian Peterson and Derrick Rose have bedtimes too, right?
Assassin's Creed Revelations ($60), was developed by Ubisoft Montreal, published by Ubisoft and is available on Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Rated M. The publisher provided a copy of the game for review.

Being at the age of 30, I can't help asking myself 'Are you happy?' Usually in Korea, people start the second chapter of their lives around this age by getting a job or married. As for me, it's been about 3 years since I started working as a public servant. I'm satisfied with my job because it's very stable and not as stressful as those in private companies. But on the other hand, it doesn't give me such an excitement or sense of accomplishment as Kim Yuna(figure skater) might have felt when she won the gold medal at the Vancouver Winter Olympic Game. I don't have a boyfriend now, but that doesn't make me feel sad or depressed because I don't want my life to be dependent on him. Of course, it would be better to be with someone I love, but those times when I'm alone are also important to me because I can fully focus on myself trying to be aware of who I am, where I'm going, what I should do, etc. And this question 'Are you happy?' may be the most fundamental one, from which my path to self-discovery beggins. And I really want to hear from other people, too, if they have begun their journey to find the happiness.

But I can't help asking you again 'How did you come to realize the true happiness of daily life?' I have a job, I don't a serious disease, being a single doesn't makes me feel sad, I have a hobby(drawing) to enjoy my free time, I have enough time and money to do whatever I want! But why do I still feel lost? Just satisfying the needs doesn't necessarily lead to the great pleasure, overwhelming joy, or deep impression on my heart. Especially for the youngsters who want to explore the whole world and live an extraordinary life, those simple things may be a little boring.. I'm not trying to say that your happiness is too humble. I know we will never realize the true meaning of happiness unless we let go of such sweet illusions that a successful life should be full of adventures and outstanding accomplishments. I know that at the end of the long journey to find the happiness, we'll come to understand that nothing is more precious and important than the simple things. But it takes a lot of trials and errors to realize that, and it seems you have already pass through the time.

Jurgen Klopp's men went into the game in fine form, but they performed poorly and the visitors were good value for their point, which came courtesy of Stefan Reisinger
Jakub Blaszczykowski gave the champions the lead in spectacular fashion at the tail end of a disappointing first half, but Stefan Reisinger deservedly drew the visitors level on 78 minutes.
Kevin Grosskreutz missed a glorious chance to win it for Dortmund but, in truth, they did not deserve all three points after a horribly disjointed display.
With both sets of supporters at Signal Iduna Park partaking in a 12-minute silent protest related to ticketing, the opening exchanges were played out in a very surreal atmosphere. However, in truth, they wouldn't have had much to cheer about anyway, a compact Dusseldorf restricting Dortmund to a couple of speculative efforts from Marcel Schmelzer.
Of course, the unavailability of Mario Gotze - who was watching on from the stands - also contributed to the home side's subdued start and his absence became increasingly obvious the longer the half wore on. Indeed, a low drive from Marco Reus, which was easily turned around the post by Fabian Giefer in the Dusseldorf goal, was the best Dortmund could muster before they took the lead in a manner that was completely at odds with what had gone before.
Lukasz Piszczek was released into space down the right-hand side and he swung over a cross that Blaszczykowski chested down into the path of the supporting Grosskreutz. The winger immediately cushioned the ball back to his team-mate, who promptly dispatched a sublime volley past a helpless Giefer.
Dusseldorf had offered little by way of an attacking threat up until that point but they should have levelled not long after. Robbie Kruse sprung the offside trap down the left-hand side before driving infield. The Australia attacker should have shot early but he took too much out of the ball in trying to go around Roman Weidenfeller and only just managed to toe the ball to Reisinger, who then saw his goal-bound effort comically blocked by team-mate Ken Ilso.
Startled by that close call, Dortmund upped their game and Grosskreutz fired just over the bar soon after. However, they continued to look vulnerable at the back, so it came as no great surprise when Dusseldorf drew level with just over 10 minutes remaining.
Kruse found himself in space down the left wing once more and this time he made it count, sending over an inviting cross which Reisinger headed home at the back post.
Dortmund had an almost immediate chance to reclaim the lead when Piszczek nodded the ball down into the path of Grosskreutz, but the Germany international criminally ballooned the ball over the bar from just eight yards out with the goal at his mercy.
Jurgen Klopp's men threw everything they had left at Dusseldorf during a frantic finale in which Ivan Paurevic was harshly sent off for a second yellow, but they were unable to find a way through, meaning Bayern can now put 11 points between the two sides ahead of Saturday's clash at the Allianz Arena.

|Nick Young
|Caron Butler
|Antawn Jamison
|Juan Dixon
stats from popcornmachine.net)
Notice the highest +/- right therr? That therr is Juan Dixonrrrrrrrrrr NO FUCKIN WAY! Juan Dixon? Holy Crap!?! You know, everyone said he could shoot, but damn!!! 3-4 from the field and 1-2 from behind the arc?!?! That's about a 66% shooting percentage! That's good enough to be the 2nd best scorer on the Wizards! In the second quarter....!!! Nick Young was PHE-NOMA-NOMA-INAL!! That's two NOMA's!!! I don't even know what a NOMA is (currently a tie between a disease caused by malnutrition or THIS Danish restaurant (Danish like from Norway, not danish like the breakfast pastry.))
And duuuuuude!!! You shoulda seen the defense. It was awesome. There was aggressiveness, quickness, agility, talking, and even some sick blocks. Your typical Etan Thomas elbows flew around, but this time, he really meant it. And ALLLLL of it, and I mean ALLL the good stuff was in the 2nd quarter!!
Okay, I think that's enough with the exclamation points. But if I may take an aside for a brief moment (rhetorical questions...the manna of bloggers everywhere). What the HELL happened in quarters 1 and 3? And to a lesser but no less serious or inconsequentially bad extent, the fourth quarter?? How many big words can I fit into such a long winded sentence without trying? The first quarter, the Wizards, as a team, shot 33% from the field and was only 1-4 from behind the arc. The 3rd and 4th we were around 50%, which was nice, but it all came from jump-shots and there was very little passing of the ball. In other words, it was a lot of:
Deshawn/Daniels/Young brings up the ball.
Run the Princeton weave above the arc.
Get ball to Caron/Antawn or Young/Stevenson to make something for themselves.
Kinda reminds me of this.
That's it. I've figured out the Wizards offense. Now I must say, during the second quarter, I do not necessarily think we played much better than the 3rd or 4th (the first was truly terrible, really, it wasn't pretty), however, in the 2nd, the shots fell. There was no more driving, cutting, or looks inside than there were later in the game, we simply made more shots. And by the way, isn't shooting coach Randy Ayers still with the team? I mean, why are we missing SO MANY shots? Yeah, Detroit's D was good, but they didn't contest ALL the shots we missed. (I wonder where I can find numbers on that????)
If we could just get more shots to fall, and drive inside a bit more, I think we could win some games. One thing I think could help is a lineup change. I know it's too early now, but I just don't think what we start out with on the court is going to pan out in the long run until Arenas comes back. I say you can keep Daniels at the point, unless Nick strings together a run of "super duper that was so awesome I need to go to the pooper" games, at which point I would say try the switch, especially if Arenas' return is delayed. I know it's not his best position, but I gots to leave Stevenson in at the 2. He's streaky, I know, but he's been pretty good on average, and I can take that. Besides, he can't feel his face. I stick with Caron and Antawn at 3 and 4, but at 5, I really gotta pull Etan Thomas.
Yes, I'd replace Etan Thomas with McGee or Blatche. (BTW, thank the Pistons announcers for "the Teaser"). Probably Blatche first because he's got more experience, but if McGee could realize some of that potential real fast and put on a couple pounds so he doesn't get pushed around like Dust in the Wind, I really think he could help. I'm not even totally sold myself, still lots of time to see if these starting five can pull out something that resembles a win.
Dear Etan,
I like you dude, seriously, your energy is awesome and the fact that you came back so quickly is a testament to how hard you worked, but there is this minor issue of you not being able to put the ball in the basket from within 3 feet. I know you may eventually get there, and with Haywood out you will see plenty of playing time off the bench, but unless you figure it out soon, we gotta replace you. I know it may suck to be replaced by JaVale "Gumby" McGee or Andray "the Tease" Blatche, but if we don't get some interior scoring, it's going to make it tough to even make the playoffs. I mean, have you seen the Sixers? Or the Raptors? Or the Celtics or Hawks? Forget about Rose in Chicago or Wade, Marion and Beasley in Miami??!?! So with that, score some points in the paint for please sit down.
Thanks buddy!
So now the Wizards head up to Milwaukee on Wednesday to play the 1-2 Bucks. What to expect? I have no idea. Seriously, I'd love to see a win, but by the looks of the slow start we're havin, I'd be happy with just winning two out of four quarters.
PS - He's mad! He's mad! He's really, really mad! (ok, that's an exaggeration and also a bad rip-off from the King of Pop).
(I must also thank this guy for his tips on tables in blogs)

Patient and family education is important to us. Here you can learn more about autism spectrum disorders in children, and view trusted insights from KidsHealth.org, the No. 1 most viewed health site for children, created by the experts at Nemours. We've also provided information from the most respected nonprofit organizations.
About Autism in Children
Autism — whether mild or severe — is a lifelong condition and your child may need medication, therapy or support throughout his or her life. Thankfully today, unlike only a few decades ago, autism specialists can offer many interventions and therapies that can remarkably increase your child's skills and abilities. The next few decades (and even the next few years) show great promise of more to come.
Autism is a neurodevelopmental disorder, which means it's a condition related to the improper development of the neurons in the brain.
Children with an autism spectrum disorder develop "unevenly" and have difficulties in communication and social interactions and exhibit repetitive or restrictive behaviors. Very often, these children have exceptional strengths in other areas, such as math, visual processing and musical and artistic abilities (to name a few). Autism spectrum disorder is an active area of research — every day we're uncovering important information about the disorder.
Traditional Types of Autism
Autism has had many names, including:
- autistic disorder (or autism) — refers to the more severe cases in which children have difficulty communicating and interacting with others (or they may be unable to communicate), and also exhibit unique repetitive/restrictive behaviors such as hand flapping, spinning or rocking.
- Asperger syndrome (AS, also called Asperger's) — a milder form of autism in which children have average or above-average intelligence, impaired language skills only in some areas (like language pragmatics, or understanding the meaning of words in certain situations), impaired social skills (problems with reciprocity, or the natural "give and take" that occurs in a conversation) and repetitive/restrictive behaviors, sometimes related to a special interest.
- pervasive developmental disorder-not otherwise specified (PDD-NOS) — Because there are many variations within the autism spectrum — with no two children experiencing the same symptoms or patterns of behavior — today we refer to all types of autism as "autism spectrum disorder" regardless of how mild or severe symptoms may be.
The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) estimates that 1 in 88 children has an autism spectrum disorder. And while there are many theories about the causes of autism spectrum disorder in children, large research studies show vaccinations do not increase the risk for the disorder. Other studies show that genes may play a role, and possibly prenatal illness or infections, but it is not caused by anything a mother did, or did not do, during pregnancy. What's more, autism is not a result of a child's upbringing, amount of nurturing or environment at home. The cause of autism development disorder continues to be a very active area of study.
Children with an autism spectrum disorder exhibit behavioral symptoms in specific areas, with different degrees of severity, and at different ages or life stages. Some symptoms include:
Communication Difficulties
- delayed babbling or speaking
- does not speak, or is "nonverbal" (but may be able to communicate using pictures or assistive technologies)
- problems understanding the meaning of words
- difficulty starting and sustaining (continuing) conversation
- can only talk about a special interest (no "small talk")
- does not understand tone, body language or facial expressions
- interprets words literally (may not understand statements like "it's raining cats and dogs")
- may speak in a different tone (monotone or high-pitched)
Impaired Social Interaction
- does not engage in interactions or imitation (smiling back or responding to name)
- reduced interest in people
- lack of eye contact
- difficulty making and keeping friends
- difficulty playing games or working in groups (has own rules or way of playing)
- responds to things differently (laughs when it's serious or cries when it's not)
- hard time understanding how people think or feel (difficulty with or lack of empathy)
- difficulty seeing other people's perspective
- difficulty regulating emotions (tantrums when overloaded)
Repetitive/Restrictive Behaviors
- repeats words over and over
- upset when a routine is disrupted or changed
- hand-flapping, rocking or spinning
- uses toys differently (repeatedly lines items up, spins wheels on vehicles, opens and shuts/turns things on and off)
- intense fixation with details, particularly related to a special interest
Sensory Processing Difficulties
Some children may be easily overloaded by too much — or too little — sensory input. For example, children with an autism spectrum disorder may:
- react adversely to itchy clothing (tags or seams)
- dislike loud noises (vacuum cleaner, school bell, etc.)
- avoid bright lights (particularly flickering of fluorescent lighting)
- avoid being touched or hugged (or conversely, need more touch)

Autism Special Needs Factsheet
What Teachers Should Know
Autism is one of the most common developmental disabilities. People with autism, also called autism spectrum disorder (ASD), have differences in the way their brains develop and process information. As a result, they face significant communication, social, and behavior challenges.
Symptoms can be severe and interfere with everyday tasks, or they can be mild and cause only a few problems. Experts call this range of symptoms a "spectrum." Asperger syndrome and pervasive developmental disorders (PDD) are conditions that fall within the autism spectrum.
Signs of autism may include:
- trouble interacting, playing with, or relating to others
- little or brief eye contact with others
- unusual or repetitive movements, such as hand flapping, spinning, or tapping
- delays in developmental milestones or loss of already-achieved milestones
- difficulties learning in school
- playing with toys in ways that seem odd or repetitive
- low muscle tone, clumsiness, and poor spacial awareness
Although there's no cure for autism, early intervention and therapy can help kids develop skills and achieve their potential. Therapy is tailored to each child's individual needs and may include behavioral, educational, speech, and occupational therapies.
Students with autism may:
- get easily frustrated and act out in certain situations
- need to go to the school nurse for medications
- miss class time for doctor's appointments and therapies
- have trouble speaking or not speak at all
- seem insensitive or unemotional
- need extra time for class assignments and homework
- need to take tests in a separate area away from distractions
Because bullies often target students who seem "different," certain health conditions, including autism, can put kids and teens at higher risk of being bullied.
What Teachers Can Do
Many students with autism can thrive in a structured environment, so establish a routine and keep it as consistent as possible. Adhering to daily schedules and allowing ample time for transitions can help with many students' behavioral issues and frustrations.
Instructional support is often needed within the classroom setting. Students with autism learn better with pictures and demonstrations. Limit long verbal instructions and provide visual cues and written instructions, when possible. Also limit distractions and use positive rewards for positive behaviors.
Many people with autism have strong passions and deep interests. Getting to know your students' likes and dislikes can help you understand what motivates them. Students with autism can participate in most activities that other kids and teens do, so provide encouragement to participate when appropriate.

A community's interest in preventing homelessness and mitigating its effects tends to focus on the social value of those efforts.
A community's interest in preventing homelessness and mitigating its effects tends to focus on the social value of those efforts.
That has been the case recently in Sarasota County, where the momentum is building to create and implement a strategic, comprehensive plan for tackling homelessness.
Phrases such as "doing the right thing," "tough love" and "transformational aid" have been liberally sprinkled throughout public gatherings on the topic.
But reducing homelessness isn't only a cause for bleeding hearts, it's for businesses, officials and taxpayers with eyes on economics and numbers.
Some economic impacts of homelessness are difficult to determine.
However, think back to last winter, when the increased number of street-level homeless people peaked and panhandlers stationed themselves at prominent positions.
Did those conditions promote the perception of public safety?
Did they have positive effects on nearby restaurants and retail establishments?
On the tourism and real estate industries?
Of course not.
To the contrary, many city businesses and residents viewed the increase in homeless people as a deterrent to shoppers and diners, and detrimental to living in those areas.
There are governmental costs. Consider the cost of homeless people in county jails on any given day. The costs of arresting, booking and jailing homeless people are substantial.
Likewise, a number of people who live on the streets find themselves transported to a hospital emergency room for treatment at some point — or points — or another.
Because homeless people are highly likely to have more severe medical problems than other patients but less likely to have insurance, a hospital such as Lakeland Regional Medical Center assumes the costs of providing high-level care in an expensive setting.
Of course, it will cost the community — government, taxpayers and nonprofit agencies — time and money to create a seamless system for holding down homelessness and mitigating its costs.
Facilities and housing are needed, as are lower-priced health care and rehabilitation.
In debates about improving social services, it is appropriate to calculate and consider the high costs — in both human and economic terms — of the status quo.

Whoops, looks like fräulein Helga parked the 2010 BMW Z4 mule in the wrong place at the wrong time. Several very nice interior shots have surfaced showing the layout and interfaces of the pending Z4 revision. The dash is still covered in a thick felt and that blue and white propeller on the wheel is taped over, but there's no mistaking some elements of the new car.
In these pics we can clearly make out a dash top user interface for the prominently displayed and new fangled pop-up iDrive. Also present in at ten and two are some aluminum paddle shifter doo-dads and on wheel controls. Something else new is the inclusion of an electric parking brake, which, as a feature still doesn't make much sense to us. The gauges get set deep in the pods and capped with chrome trim and the seats get extendable lower leg bolsters. Check out the full source picture at Bimmerfile and manual transmission versions at ZPost.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - Robbie Haynie of Eastern Oregon has been honored as the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Field Athlete of The Week and Gregory Turner of Wayland Baptist (Texas) has been named the NAIA National Men's Outdoor Track Athlete of The Week, the national office announced Wednesday. Haynie and Turner were selected based on their performances from April 9 - 15. Haynie gathers his second-straight award and third in 2012 after he notched an indoor honor on Jan. 25.
Haynie, a senior from Nampa, Idaho, became the first NAIA athlete this season to clear seven feet in the high jump. He posted a leap of 7' ½" at the Eastern Oregon Open on April 14 to finish first overall. He took medalist honors in the long jump with a distance of 22' 9 ¼". He now owns the top pole vault and high jump marks in the NAIA. In a track event, Haynie set a personal-high in the 100-meter hurdles with a time of 15.32.
Turner, a junior from West Sacramento, Calif., posted the NAIA's best times and established two school records in the 100- and 200-meters at the NCAA Division I Texas Tech Open on April 14. He finished second overall among over 35 competitors in both the 100-meters (10.21) and 200-meters (20.26). In addition, he ran a leg on the 4x400-meter relay team which also turned in the NAIA's top time of the season at 3:09.05. The previous school mark in the 100-meters (10.24) was set back in 1988, while the old record in the 200-meters (20.51) was established in 2003.

The sodium urine test measures the amount of salt (sodium) in a urine sample.
Sodium can also be measured in a
Alternative Names
Urinary 24 hours sodium; Urine Na+
How the test is performed
After you provide a urine sample, it is tested in the lab. If needed, the health care provider may ask you to
How to prepare for the test
Your health care provider will ask you to temporarily stop any medicines that may affect the test results. Be sure to tell your provider about all the medicines you take. These include:
- Antibiotics
- Corticosteroids
- Nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
- Prostaglandins (used to treat for example, glaucoma or stomach ulcers)
- Water pills (diuretics)
- Do not stop taking any medicine before talking to your doctor.
How the test will feel
The test involves only normal urination. There is no discomfort.
Why the test is performed
The test is often used to check how much fluid your body has. It also checks if your kidneys are able to maintain or remove sodium from the urine. It may be used to diagnose or monitor many types of kidney diseases.
Normal Values
For adults, normal urine sodium values are generally 20 mEq/L in a random urine sample and 40 to 220 mEq/L per day (mEq/L/day). Your result depends on how much fluid and salt you take in.
The examples above are common measurements for results of these tests. Normal value ranges may vary slightly among different laboratories. Some labs use different measurements or test different samples. Talk to your doctor about the meaning of your specific test result.
What abnormal results mean
A higher than normal urine sodium level may bedue to:
- Certain medicines such as water pills (diuretics)
- Low function of the
adrenal glands
- Inflammation of the kidney that results in salt loss (salt-losing nephropathy)
- Too much salt in the diet
A lower than normal urine sodium level may be a sign of:
Adrenal glandsreleasing too much hormone ( hyperaldosteronism)
- Not enough fluid in the body (dehydration)
- Diarrhea and fluid loss
Heart failure
- Kidney problems such as chronic kidney disease or
kidney failure
- Scarring of the liver (
What the risks are
There are no risks with this test.

Do you have a wonderful idea that could truly turn into something great?! If the answer is yes then you should try to have your own business by becoming a start up owner. If you still do not know what a start up is then here it goes :start ups are small companies that were created in order to pursue a project. Now that you have your idea and a start up in mind it is time you find the top 5 placed to find capital for your project!
Your family
It is one of the most obvious options for those who would like to raise some money. The family can be a great way to start, after all they are most likely to believe in your plans and aspirations. You can talk to your family members and show them all of your plans and dreams. Perhaps people will indeed trust in your plan and lend you some needed cash. Of course you should also present a payment plan, that way they know you have good intentions and is willing to pay them back.follow her latest blog post for more information.
Credit Unions
Credit Unions provide all kinds of services, including business loan financing. They are usually very interested in funding small companies, after all today Start Ups have a very good reputation before the market. Apart from trusting small projects they are willing to see the whole community change, which could bring some extra profit for them. These unions also offer loans with the lowest interest rates in the market.
Community Banks
Community banks are not afraid in helping small people that have an uncertain plan just like you. Most bigger banks are afraid of not getting paid back, and here is where the Community banks come in. These smaller banks are used to lending money to people that do not have a stable financial life yet, which means they are willing to believe in your dreams and help you out with some cash, after all a start up does not cost that much to begin with.
Selling some Assets
Perhaps you have a spare car or even some things home that can be worth a lot of money. This is a great opportunity for you to sell old stuff and make some great cash out of it. It is possible for you to get a couple thousands of dollars and then start your own business. Although some people are afraid of selling their own things to bet into something uncertain, this is a great way to have the cash ready and also not have to pay anyone back in the future.
This is a new style of site that helps people gather money for several different reasons. You can present your idea and hope someone will believe in you and donate you some cash. It is possible to get thousands, as long as people feel close to your cause.

Games to Play on a Laptop Under $500
Having a laptop does not mean all you can do is sit on social media sites all day. There are games that are made for computers whether they are games on the internet, downloadable games, or console games.Games to play on a laptop under $500 will differ from games you can play on a more expensive laptop.
Having a laptop for under five hundred dollars means you will be able to play any on site game, the only problem(s) that will occur is if you have a lot on your computer that slows down your processor. Games that are on sites can be games you can play in person (board, card, etc) sites like that are pogo.com. Another type of on site gaming are small games with a variety of genres. These games can be found on armorgames.com.
Games to play on a laptop under $500 can include downloadable games. These games will take up space on your computer and depending on the type and size of the game, it can slow down your computer. Downloadable games that do not have multiplayer or online capabilities will run faster than games that are online. A computer can only handle so many of these so it is best to only get what you will use and delete what you stop using. Some of these can include LOTRO (Lord of the Rings Online) and Wizards 101.
If your computer runs fast, has a good processor, and a decent amount of storage you can get console games. These game are usually gotten through steam and are games that you could get for Xbox or Play Station. That means, if you wanted, you could get games like Call of Duty or Halo on to your computer. These games will still have the online that consoles do and everything will be the same.
There are a lot of different games you can use on a laptop. You just have to be careful to not have too many of them on your hardrive otherwise your computer will be very slow and your games will not run too well.

Mosquito, (family Culicidae), any of approximately 3,500 species of familiar insects in the fly order, Diptera, that are important in public health because of the bloodsucking habits of the females. Mosquitoes are known to transmit serious diseases, including yellow fever, Zika fever, malaria, filariasis, and dengue.
The slender, elongated body of the adult is covered with scales as are the veins of the wings. Mosquitoes are also characterized by long, fragile-looking legs and elongated, piercing mouthparts. The feathery antennae of the male are generally bushier than those of the female. The males, and sometimes the females, feed on nectar and other plant juices. In most species, however, the females require the proteins obtained from a blood meal in order to mature their eggs. Different species of mosquitoes show preferences and, in many cases, narrow restrictions as to host animals.
The eggs are laid on a surface of water and hatch into aquatic larvae, or wrigglers, which swim with a jerking, wriggling movement. In most species, larvae feed on algae and organic debris, although a few are predatory and may even feed on other mosquitoes. Unlike most insects, mosquitoes in the pupal stage, called tumblers, are active and free-swimming. The pupae breathe by means of tubes on the thorax. The adults mate soon after emerging from their pupal cases. The duration of the life cycle varies greatly depending on the species.
Mosquitoes are apparently attracted to host animals by moisture, lactic acid, carbon dioxide, body heat, and movement. The mosquito's hum results from the high frequency of its wingbeats, and the female's wingbeat frequency may serve as a means of sex recognition.
Measures used to control mosquitoes include the elimination of breeding sites, the application of surface films of oil to clog the breathing tubes of wrigglers, and the use of larvicides. Insecticides at times are used to destroy adult mosquitoes indoors.
There are three important mosquito genera. Anopheles, the only known carrier of malaria, also transmits filariasis and encephalitis. Anopheles mosquitoes are easily recognized in their resting position, in which the proboscis, head, and body are held on a straight line to each other but at an angle to the surface. The spotted colouring on the wings results from coloured scales. Egg laying usually occurs in water containing heavy vegetation. The female deposits her eggs singly on the water surface. Anopheles larvae lie parallel to the water surface and breathe through posterior spiracular plates on the abdomen instead of through a tube, as do most other mosquito larvae. The life cycle is from 18 days to several weeks.
The genus Culex is a carrier of viral encephalitis and, in tropical and subtropical climates, of filariasis. It holds its body parallel to the resting surface and its proboscis is bent downward relative to the surface. The wings, with scales on the veins and the margin, are uniform in colour. The tip of the female's abdomen is blunt and has retracted cerci (sensory appendages). Egg laying may occur on almost any body of fresh water, including standing polluted water. The eggs, which float on the water, are joined in masses of 100 or more. The long and slender Culex larvae have breathing tubes that contain hair tufts. They hang head downward at an angle of 45° from the water surface. The life cycle, usually 10 to 14 days, may be longer in cold weather. The northern house mosquito (C. pipiens) is the most abundant species in northern regions, while the southern house mosquito (C. quinquefasciatus) is abundant in southern regions, namely the tropics and subtropics.
The genus Aedes carries the pathogens that cause yellow fever, dengue, Zika fever, and encephalitis. Like Culex, it holds its body parallel to the surface with the proboscis bent down. The wings are uniformly coloured. Aedes may be distinguished from Culex by its silver thorax with white markings and posterior spiracular bristles. The tip of the female's abdomen is pointed and has protruding cerci. Aedes usually lays eggs in floodwater, rain pools, or salt marshes. The eggs are capable of withstanding long periods of dryness. The short, stout larvae have a breathing tube containing a pair of tufts, and the larvae hang head down at a 45° angle from the water surface. The life cycle may be as short as 10 days or, in cool weather, as long as several months. A. aegypti, the important carrier of the virus responsible for yellow fever, has white bands on its legs and spots on its abdomen and thorax. This domestic species breeds in almost any kind of container, from flower pots to discarded car-tire casings. The eastern salt marsh mosquito (A. sollicitans), the black salt marsh mosquito (A. taeniorhynchus), and the summer salt marsh mosquito (A. dorsalis) are important mosquitoes in coastal marsh areas that experience daily or occasional flooding with brackish or salt water. They are prolific breeders, strong fliers, and irritants to animals, including humans.

WASHINGTON — The House voted Tuesday to roll back income tax increases on the vast majority of Americans, finalizing a deal on the so-called fiscal cliff after weeks of gridlock.
The approval, in a session that stretched late into the New Year's holiday, came after hours of closed-door debate among Republicans, with conservatives threatening to derail a bill that had overwhelmingly passed the Senate in the early hours of the morning.
The final tally, 257 to 167, included support from 172 of the chamber's Democrats and just 85 of the majority Republicans, far fewer than half. The vote divided House GOP leaders, with the second- and third-ranking Republicans, Eric Cantor of Virginia and Kevin McCarthy of Bakersfield, among the 151 in their party voting no. Speaker John A. Boehner (R-Ohio), casting a rare vote, and Rep. Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.), the House Budget Committee chairman and 2012 vice presidential nominee, voted in favor.
Once signed by President Obama, the bill will allow taxes to rise for those with incomes above $400,000 for individuals and $450,000 for couples. It also will renew tax credits aimed at low-income households and college students, extend unemployment benefits, delay automatic spending cuts in defense and other government programs for two months, and resolve several other issues that Congress had left hanging.

RICHMOND, Va. – VCU Athletics will get its first taste of an Atlantic 10 Championship event this weekend when the VCU Cross Country teams will compete in the A-10 Championship Meet. VCUAthletics.com caught up with head cross country coach Nicole Cook, before the team left for the event in Philadelphia.
VCUAthletics.com: What have you been impressed with throughout the season?
NC: I've been impressed with how tenacious and consistent my runners have been in my absence. This season has been the most consistent season for the team since I took over the cross country program.
VCUAthletics.com: The men's side has a good mix of upperclassmen and underclassmen, how have they blended together to become a solid team?
NC: They have blended well as a solid team because their class doesn't matter to them. They are all concerned with reaching their common team goal and to do better as a whole. The team knows that it can only be accomplished if they are a solid, close team with a common goal that everyone is trying to reach.
VCUAthletics.com: On the women's side you guys are very young, what are some of the improvements you have seen throughout the season from them?
NC: I've seen the women become more consistent and confident in their abilities. Each meet they have gotten better and they have learned to compete harder with their new competition.
VCUAthletics.com: What do you except to see out of the team this weekend?
NC: I expect to see them all go out there and make a statement for VCU. As a new team in the Atlantic 10 no one expects us to do anything. So I expect them to break that assumption and hopefully turn some heads.
VCUAthletics.com: It is a new event for your team on a new course, what are some of the advantages to that, and what are some of the challenges?
NC: A race is a race, no course or track is the same. So the advantage is the thrill of tackling a new cross country course that we've never raced on. The disadvantage is the fact that we are one team that has never experienced this course, but we are anticipating that. In cross country most of the athletes like different courses because it makes it more fun.
VCUAthletics.com: Describe the impact Brenden Leavitt has had on the program the last two seasons?
NC: Brenden Leavitt has been a great runner for VCU over the past two seasons because he has chosen to be a better runner. He focused and developed a confidence in himself that makes him the runner he is today.
VCUAthletics.com: On the men's side you have had a good season, including winning the CNU Invite, what are your goals for them for the weekend?
NC: My goal for them is to be tough and compete with the best the A10 has right now. If they do, they will be a top finisher in the meet.
VCUAthletics.com: The women's team you have a bunch of young runners, and a lot of athletes are running in their first or second championship meet, what advice or strategy have you given to them?
NC: The best advice I can give all my athletes is to lay everything on the line and do their best.
VCUAthletics.com: What are your goals for the women's team going into the weekend?
NC: My goal for the women would be for them to have their best showing than they've had all year, and to compete with heart.

Spring into Spring
As seasons change, so do we! Each season brings new beginnings and a clean slate. It's amazing that the weather can have such a huge impact on our lives but the weather can influence our attitude. So this spring, ditch your brrr -titude and embrace the sunny skies and spring forward with a positive outlook to take you into summer.
Here are seven ways to spring into spring this season.

The rumour comes courtesy of ZDNet, citing the usual "reliable sources" (several of them, even). According to the rumours, the announcement of the deal will be made today, and since today has barely started in the US (we're past half-way here in the old world), it might still take a while for the news to arrive (if true, that is).
For some reason (can't put my finger on it) I find it unlikely that Google will bundle Flash with the Chrome web browser - it seems far more likely that the Chrome operating system will include it. After all, Chrome OS is targeted solely at the web, and whether we like it or not, Flash is part of the web and here to stay. It would make perfect sense for Google to include the runtime with its operating system.
It could also mean act as a selling point for Google when competing with Apple on the iPad. While the Chrome OS is targeted at netbooks, it will surely appear on tablets as well. We've already seen countless Android tablets, so this rumour might also mean that we will find Flash on Android devices.
Whichever way you look at it, it would be an interesting turn of events. Google has been very supportive of HTML5 and related standards and openness - at the same time, however, Google is actively pushing H264, the patent-encumbered video codec companies like Apple and Microsoft are trying to shackle the web to. In other words - Google is obviously no saint, so the company promoting Flash certainly shouldn't come as a surprise.

Ortírielyanna is a translation of the Sub tuum praesidium into Quenya made by J.R.R. Tolkien in the 1950s. It was published in Vinyar Tengwar, issue 44 in 2002, edited by Patrick H. Wynne, Arden R. Smith, and Carl F. Hostetter.
The Sub tuum praesidium is the oldest known hymn to Virgin Mary and is often used in Christian services as a prelude to the Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary (also known as the Litany of Loreto). In 1944, Tolkien recommended his son Christopher to learn "the Litany of Loretto (with the prayer Sub tuum praesidium)" by heart[1]. It was therefore logical that Tolkien created his own Quenya Litany of Loreto, which immediately follows in the same manuscript as the Ortírielyanna.[2]
[edit] The prayer
The final version of the prayer:
|Ortírielyanna rucimme, Aina Eruontari, alalye nattira arca·ndemmar sangiessemman ono alye eterúna me illume ilya raxellor alcarin Vénde ar manaquenta.
|We fly to thy patronage, O holy Mother of God; despise not our petitions in our necessities, but deliver us always from all dangers, O glorious and blessed Virgin.

After gold, Fierce Five facing uncertain future
By WILL GRAVES,
Updated August 9, 2012
LONDON (AP) They stood together, arms locked, Olympic gold medals around their necks and - for just a moment - between their teeth.
The cameras flashed. The exhausted Fierce Five smiled and just like that, it was over.
The best women's gymnastics team in the world - Gabby Douglas, Aly Raisman, Jordyn Wieber, Kyla Ross and McKayla Maroney - then walked in single file toward the exit and into a busy but uncertain future.
Sure, they'll be together again when they return to the U.S. next week as part of the media blitz that comes when you storm to Olympic glory. And there will be the cross-country exhibition tour through the fall.
After that, who knows?
While women's team coordinator Martha Karolyi believes the group could "physically and gymnastically go on for another quadrennium," reality might not let them.
They left home a month ago hoping to become the first American team to reach the top of the podium in 16 years. They'll leave the games famous.
All teenagers, there's a chance they could have a reunion in Rio de Janeiro in four years. That is, if life doesn't get in the way.
"Things are going to change for us," said Maroney, who added a silver on vault.
None of them more than Douglas, who won the all-around title and has suddenly become an A-lister. She's going to hit the late-night TV circuit over the next few weeks and as the new face of her sport will be in high demand for advertisers eager to have her flashy smile hawking their product.
Finding a balance between the gym and newfound celebrity is going to be difficult. Throw in the burnout of a yearlong buildup to the games and a series of nagging injuries and the prospect of gunning for a second straight gold in Brazil sounds exhausting.
"We just finished the Olympics yesterday," Wieber said. "It's kind of hard to think about."
Maroney is in. At least for now. The feisty 16-year-old - who came up with the moniker "Fierce Five" during a brainstorming session - believes her stunning loss in the vault finals will be enough fuel to keep her primed.
Ross is ready to go too. The youngest member of the team at 15 is also the group's only amateur. She'll do a handful of tour stops then return to high school and focus on the world championships next year in Belgium.
Three-time medalist Raisman - who became the first American to grab gold on the floor exercise - isn't ruling out three Olympics.
Wieber's plan is to nurse an achy right leg, do the tour and then see where she's at. The games were a disappointment for the world champion, who failed to get out of all-around qualifying and finished seventh in the floor exercise finals.
Though she's contemplated college, she's still got a year of high school remaining. And because she turned pro, she won't be able to compete on the college level. Besides, she can't imagine working under anyone other than lifelong coach John Geddert.
The same goes for Douglas, who Liang Chow molded from raw talent into champion in less than two years. Chow thinks Douglas is only halfway to her potential and thinks her lean frame lends itself to a lengthy career.
That is, if she can find the time.
"Gabby has captured people," said USA Gymnastics president Steve Penny. "We are looking to do what we can to grow our sport a little bit with her help into hopefully a new and talented audience."
It's a role the first African-American to win an Olympic all-around title is eager to embrace.
"I wanted to inspire a nation," she said. "The quote here is 'Inspire a Generation' and I'm so happy I got to inspire other athletes."
Just - hopefully - not at the expense of her career.
No Olympic all-around champion has repeated at the next games in over 50 years. And all the practice in the world can't stop the power of biology.
"It's a little girls' sport," Geddert said. "Once they become women, it's very, very tough to handle the training load it takes to be at this level."
Contrast that with the guys. John Orozco, who turns 20 in December, is the youngest member of the five-man team that finished a disappointing fifth and came away with just one medal - a bronze by Danell Leyva in the all-around.
All five members are already talking about Rio, even 26-year-old Jonathan Horton.
"Right now in my head, 100 percent I'll be training for the next four years," he said. "I've got too much gas in the tank to be done now. I feel good right now, I'm injury free."
So is Leyva, who has his sights set on tracking down Olympic champ Kohei Uchimura of Japan. And he's not planning on waiting until 2016.
"Trying to take Uchimura's spot is going to be hard, but that's what I like about it," he said. "I need to try to do it as early as possible, but that means 2013 worlds."
Male gymnasts don't peak until their mid-20s, meaning there's little doubt Leyva, Orozco, Jake Dalton and Sam Mikulak will be in the mix four years down the road.
It's a nice thought for the Fierce Five. They'll have the next few months to hang out on the barnstorming tour and relax outside the airtight bubble the Olympics provide.
Will they ever take the stage again in competition? It's too soon to tell. For all their talent, there's another wave at the ready.
Elizabeth Price, 16, and 15-year-old Sarah Finnegan served as Olympic alternates and getting so close to the sport's biggest stage will only make them hungrier. Chow is already talking about a pair of talented juniors who could be the next breakout stars.
If London is their defining moment, they can live with that. They're going to try and enjoy the spoils of their hard work. The future will take care of itself.
"We're going to be bonded together for the rest of our lives, and that's truly amazing," Wieber said. "I think we're going to be lifelong friends."

What started as one cook's pet project eventually evolved into one of the hottest pop-up restaurant tickets in town. And now it's ready to take the final leap – Chad Colby's regular pig dinners and salumi bar at Mozza2Go have turned into an official restaurant called Chi Spacca ("The Cleaver").
"This is something that we've been kicking around the last year or so," Colby said, "but the whole path probably took at least three years. I started out playing around with cured meats just as a project. We made some, tasted it and refined the recipes. Then there was the whole process we went through with the health department. Finally we ended up with this product that really needs to be featured somehow."
The restaurant, which will officially open Feb. 4, in the current Scuola di Pizza spot, is about as meat-heavy as you could hope, featuring dishes such as a 42-ounce "tomahawk" pork chop and an 80-ounce bistecca fiorentina.
The real attraction, of course, is the cured meats. That's the inspiration for Chi Spacca and is largely due to the efforts of Colby, who became so entranced by Italian salumi culture that he developed the first authorized dry-cure program at a Los Angeles restaurant.

Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey
195 Little Albany Street
New Brunswick, NJ 08903-2681
Kim M. Hirshfield, MD, PhD
New Brunswick, N.J. – The Breast Cancer Research Foundation has awarded a pair of investigators at Rutgers Cancer Institute of New Jersey a one-year, $240,000 grant to examine treatment implications for a genetic variation found in a quarter of Caucasians and in a small percentage of Caucasian breast cancer patients.
Arnold J. Levine, PhD, a resident member at the Cancer Institute of New Jersey and professor of pediatrics and biochemistry at Rutgers Robert Wood Johnson Medical School; and Kim M. Hirshfield, MD, PhD, a medical oncologist at the Cancer Institute and assistant professor of medicine at Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, are building on previous research that led to the identification of a new gene product as a result of two cancer-causing genes being fused together.
Drs. Levine and Hirshfield are examining the pairing of the KANSL1 and ARL17A genes. KANSL1 is part of a protein complex that regulates tumor suppression function and DNA repair proteins involved in cancer formation and cancer cell behavior. ARL17A is involved in movement of proteins within a cell and in turn, affects cell function.
When the two genes are combined, the resulting fusion gene presents itself as a genetic variation in the human genome in one quarter of Caucasian populations. In particular, the gene product was detected in 12 percent of breast cancers in this group. The new fusion gene's impact on protein activity further sheds light on why some cancers – including breast – have difficulty maintaining the integrity of their DNA. As a result, two sets of drugs were identified that could be useful in the treatment of cancers with the fusion variation. The grant will support laboratory study of these agents and their impact on targeted therapy.
The award period runs through October 1.

Forum Post: In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964
Posted 4 years ago on April 11, 2014, 7:41 a.m. EST by WSmith
from Cornelius, OR
This content is user submitted and not an official statement
RANDI RHODES: On Today's Show - Thu, Apr 10, 2014
In honor of the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, a Civil Rights Summit is being held this week at the LBJ Presidential Library. All the living Presidents and many influential Democrats are there, Several high profile Republicans are also attending. They're taking a brief break from trying to dismantle civil rights. After the summit is over, all of the Republican politicians in attendance plan to go back to trying to restrict minority voting. Really, why would a Republican go to a Civil Rights Summit - unless it's to conduct opposition research?
According to one of the latest Pew Research polls, the majority of whites see racism as a thing of the past - which is odd because they're the ones who are perpetuating racism. Hello! Saying that racism no longer exists is evidence of racism. It's not clear if white people don't think we need more progress on racial equality because they think that everything is already equal, or if they just don't want things to be any more equal.
Meanwhile, House Democrats are making a legitimate comparison between Congressman Darrell Issa and legendary Senator Joe McCarthy. Congressman Elijah Cummings, the top Democrat on Issa's Oversight Committee, says that there are "striking similarities" between Issa and McCarthy. I'm just surprised that Cummings was able to get that out without Issa shutting off his microphone - again. Issa is trying to have former IRS official Lois Lerner held in contempt for refusing to testify before his committee. He's mad at her for not talking, and he's mad at Elijah Cummings FOR talking. You just can't make Darrell Issa happy. Issa wants to have Lerner held in contempt because she refused to cooperate in his witch hunt on the phony IRS scandal. And those who don't cooperate in a witch hunt invariable get branded as witches.
Talk about McCarthy-esque - Bill O'Reilly is attacking Lois Lerner in ways that sound so much like McCarthy that they really should be on old 1950's black-and-white film stock. O'Reilly spewed that all he can say is that "…she's not a patriot. She's not doing the country any good." She's not a patriot! We should hold hearings to find out just who is a "patriot" and who isn't. Oh wait, that's exactly what Darrell Issa has already been doing. There is no difference between Bill O'Reilly's "not a patriot" and Joe McCarthy's "un-American!" They're both offensive - and they're both wrong.

The Health Professions curriculum consists of programs and majors in the Department of Biological Sciences and many other departments, such as Chemistry and Psychology, that prepare students for productive and satisfying careers in chiropractic medicine, dentistry, medicine (allopathic and osteopathic), optometry, pharmacy, physician assistance, physical therapy, podiatry and veterinary medicine, to name a few. Academic preparation for the health professions requires a solid academic foundation in the biological sciences, physical sciences and the liberal arts.
In response to increasing reports of food-borne illnesses and food recalls, state and federal laws and regulations have become more stringent. Therefore, food retailers and regulatory agencies at the municipal, state and federal levels must have in-house personnel who are trained and certified in food safety . Students in this program will receive a bachelor's degree in the Biology Program while completing a wide variety of courses designed to foster the skills and knowledge necessary for entry into food safety fields, understand the ethical responsibilities of the food safety profession, gain the academic background for additional training and acceptance into graduate school and understand the needs of food retail businesses and government regulators.
This master's program offers concentrations in Environmental Sciences and Biological Sciences. The Department provides opportunities for students to conduct a wide range of field and laboratory research projects. Research facilities include a herbarium, greenhouse and arboretum. The Department is fully equipped for conducting both laboratory and field research. Cooperative agreements with other universities and consortia exist to provide additional research opportunities.
The General Biology Program stands at the core of the department. More students are enrolled in the General Biology Program than in any of the Department's other concentrations, programs or majors. Its popularity is due to the wide choice of Departmental courses in which students may enroll to meet the diverse academic requirements of professional schools, graduate schools and employment in the public and private sector.
The Biomedical Sciences Concentration prepares students for careers in the health professions and biotechnology. It is an integral part of the pre-professional program. Students who receive a bachelor's degree in the Biomedical Sciences Concentration are well prepared to enter graduate or professional school, begin careers as laboratory technicians or seek employment in the biotechnology industry.
TROY offers a bachelor's and two master's degrees in Biology Education. These degrees prepare students for careers teaching biology at the secondary level (grades 6-12). Students seeking Alabama teaching certification should select Biology as a first major and Education as a second major. Students should consult with their advisers concerning all certification requirements.
A bachelor's degree in Marine Biology provides the academic and field experience to prepare students for such rewarding careers in marine science as conducting research at universities and marine laboratories and working for industry or state and federal environmental agencies. The program of study includes two summers at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab taking courses such as Vertebrate Zoology, Oceanography, Marine Ecology and Marine Botany, among other choices. During the freshman and sophomore years, students complete their foundation courses, which prepare them for advanced study.
