It's crunch time. If you, like me are currently not making the playoffs in your league, or are near the bottom now is must win time. You might be able to pull off a good trade but more than likely you'll need to make or break your season on the waiver wire.
Before we look at who is available, who has good match ups and who might be worth flyer I want to cover two basic principles. First, if you have more than one D/ST on your roster, or more than 1 kicker drop them. Unless you have a top 5 defense on bye (there aren't any, and only 1, the Giants, has a bye coming) there is no need for the second. Same with kickers. Two kickers is wasting 1 spot. Last week I picked up Phil Dawson, the number 5 kicker, off the wire. Dawson is on bye this week so I dropped him again. There is always going to be a decent kicker on the wire and the bye weeks are almost over so you really shouldn't need a back up. Kickers aren't match up plays, just pick one and move on.
The other principle I want to discuss briefly is Continue reading

Travelling to Egypt from the USA
Posted by: | CommentsMedia outlets love dramatic stories and the Arab Spring of 2011 certainly provided plenty of those. Egypt has always been one of the more advanced Middle East countries when it comes to tourism with stunning history, wonder beach resorts and superb scuba diving opportunities. Egyptair offer direct flights from New York to Cairo so getting to Egypt from the US is relatively easy. Cairo has plenty to offer the tourist so it is definitely worth spending a couple of days here before exploring other parts of Egypt.
Internal flights are available to popular tourist destinations of Aswan (for Lake Nasser Cruises), Luxor (for Nile Cruises) as well as the beach resorts of Sharm el Sheikh and Hurghada. Cairo is also an excellent hub to get to other parts of the Middle East and Europe with connections to Amman (Jordan), Johannesburg (South Africa) and Dar-es-Salaam (Tanzania for safaris).
One of the great things about visiting Egypt are the excellent hotel rates available for tourists. A quick search on the internet and you can find a 2* hotel in Cairo, not far from Tahir Square for 15GBP (23USD) per night. This is for a private room with en-suite and free wifi. This is a cheaper price than you will pay in some New York hostels.
Many people are concerned about the political situation in Egypt. There is no denying things have changed. The new government is certainly more pro-Islam than Mubarak but this doesn't mean they are so extreme they want to prevent Westerns visiting their country. Unlike many of their neighbours, Egypt doesn't have the luxury of huge natural resource reserves and tourism provides vital income.
Our advice is start planning your trip to Egypt sooner rather than later. It is still an amazing place to visit.

Perceptions of the Laid Back Resort of Dahab
Posted by: | CommentsDahab translates to 'Gold' in Arabic and this relaxed resort around sixty minutes north of Sharm el Sheikh and less than sixty minutes from the international airport is a treasure in the Sinai peninsula. Sharm el Sheikh is tailored considerably more for tourists while Dahab was normally a more laid back surroundings historically where backbackers would travel to looking for a less busy getaway. Even though the interest in the destination is growing, it is still a superb place to go to for anyone looking for a more low key destination.
A large number of first time visitors to Egypt will opt for the large destinations of Sharm el Sheikh or Hurghada but Dahab features a appeal of its own that people returning to Egypt discovered. All along the main bay are several small cafes and restaurants, a number have their own little bit of beach. People go to Dahab to sit back with a drink and look out over the clear, blue waters of the Gulf of Aqaba.
Dahab is also a renowned location for scuba divers who travel here to dive the legendary 'Blue Hole'. The dive centres in Sharm el Sheikh and Nuweiba regularly bring divers here for a day trip and this gives an indication of the attraction of the dive site. Of all the fantastic dive sites in Egypt, the Blue Hole in Dahab is considered one site that every diver must experience. It isn't the only dive site in the Dahab region and the water is teeming with vibrant fish and gorgeous coral reefs.
For those searching for a little retail therapy, you'll find the regular mementos available coupled with places to get jewellery, perfumes and other fragrances. It is usually possible to bargain with the market stall owners to try to obtain a good deal and haggling is also a part of the shopping experience in most of the normal shops regardless of what they are selling.
Dahab is also a great starting point to head out and explore the Sinai. Snorkelling tours are common as are quad bikes out in the desert. Day trips to St Catherine's Monastery high in the Sinai mountains are recommended, even if you pick the very early start time to see the sun rise from Mount Sinai. For everyone wanting a stress-free destination which has a bit of character, Dahab is probably worth thinking about.

There are a number of things that make Cloud Atlas something to look forward to. The book the story is based on, the directors and writers attached to the project, the great team of actors that have joined, the plot, filming sets and images already released. The extremely ambitious German-made but English speaking Cloud Atlas began production in September 2011 in Germany, at Studio Babelsberg, is now at post-production stage and will be hitting the screens in October 2012.
Cloud Atlas is a historical sci-fi based on the 2004 Booker prize-nominated novel by David Mitchell. It tells multiple life stories which ultimately intertwine and take us from past to present and future through people's actions, their consequences as well as their significant impact onto other people's lives. As this can carry a terrifying, negative and admittedly often-seen-before meaning, at the same time the film examines the positive side that several lives this interconnected can have. Acts of kindness as well travel through centuries, bring more and more good in a messed-up world and eventually inspire revolution.
The movie is written and directed by Tom Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski, aka The Wachowski Brothers. The names are of course familiar and just their sound is enough to cause a great deal of excitement. Tom Tykwer is the writer/director of the very stressful but mesmerising Run Lola Run (1998) and the haunting Perfume: The Story Of A Murderer (2006). The Wachowskis have brought to us a lot of notable stories throughout the years, like V For Vendetta, however there is no doubt that we'll always know them for The Matrix and all the sequels that followed, humouring our justified mania.
The cast is another thing that puts this film on the anticipated movies of 2012 map. It includes Tom Hanks (Dr. Henry Goose), Halle Berry (Meronym), Jim Broadbent, Hugh Grant, Jim Sturgess, James D'Arcy, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Ben McKeen, Keith David, David Gyasi, Doona Bae, Zhou Xun and Ben Whishaw. The six main storylines force the story to go all the way back to the 19th Century South Pacific and travel to 1970s California, only to move from there to the still unknown far-off future. The actors attached to the project will take on a number of different roles, will change personality, gender, race and physical appearance completely in this time and place travelling process.
German media have described Cloud Atlas as the first ever attempt at a German blockbuster and the film's budget is definitely the highest that a German film has cost up until now. Filming was mainly done in Germany, but also a few scenes were shot in Mallorca and some others in Scotland. American studios refused to finance the $100 million budget supposedly attached to this project, deeming the movie as too risky, so apart from what Germany provided, some money came in from China, Singapore and Korea. Warner Bros will be distributing Cloud Atlas in the United States, however the company has admitted this to have been as far as they could go with such an expensive independent film and financing it would have been dangerous for them. Although this could have initially been a problem, financing was still raised pretty quickly, and highly reliable filmmakers Tykwer and Andy and Lana Wachowski have had absolute creative control over their project.
The unedited still version of the film has received a very positive reaction, and everyone, from the people involved in it, to the American Film Market in Santa Monica where it was shown, have described it as phantasmagorical, extremely well made, and more impressive than anything audiences across the world have seen in a while. And if all this is not enough to make Cloud Atlas a greatly anticipated film for 2012, then perhaps the fact that Hugh Grant will be doing a lot of killing and raping while covered in a great deal of make up, is something you might want to finally see.

To carry out smooth communication around the organization and execute the business work properly, an effective email messaging system is needed. MS Outlook is such an emailing platform that establishes uninterrupted communication around the network. However, effective communication may get disturbed when some logical and physical reasons attack Outlook and corrupt the mailing system. The file containing emails, contacts and other vital information become inaccessible putting whole business process at stake. When MS Outlook corrupts, any of the following error messages can appear:
The above errors are the consequences of some hardware and software malfunction issues that raise tickets to these errors.
There are three prominent hardware factors that affect MS Outlook and corrupt the PST file. These are:
Like hardware, software of the system also greatly affects Outlook PST file and corrupts the user data. Some of the major software reasons are:
Similarly, software reasons might create trouble to the PST file.
The above hardware as well as software malfunctions can be avoided by taking care of the system software and using appropriate hardware devices. But when big network is concerned and large PCs are involved it does not become possible to equally maintain individual system around the whole network. So, some user friendly mechanism is required that can operate throughout the network and resolve file corruption issues. Primarily, you can use the inbuilt Outlook tool known as scanpst.exe to resolve corruption issues in PST file and fix the errors. But this PST repair tool works well in case of PST header file corruption only and fails resolving other complex corruption issues. Therefore, commercial third party tools are introduced.
PST recovery tool is the appropriate solution to the problem of PST corruption as it efficiently repairs damaged PST files and recovers all emails and other data. With the help of this powerful tool, you can get back all your emails, attachments, drafts, notes, journals, tasks and other relevant data items. This advance Outlook PST repair tool resolves all sorts of PST corruption issues and retrieves your significant emails and other data stored in corrupt PST file. It undertakes intensive scanning of damaged PST file, locates the data items and recovers them. After complete recovery, it displays the recovered items in tree like structure where from user can select any item and expand it to view its details. The entire recovery process is performed accurately and easily without involving much human intervention.
Owing to powerful and highly efficient algorithms, this PST repair tool works on the corrupted PST file and successfully restores lost and deleted data. With fast, easy and user friendly recovery process, this tool enables you to recover lost emails in no time. You can repair the damaged PST file and recover the emails by using this PST repair tool without spending a single penny as it is available with its free evaluation copy. The evaluation copy of this software is same in working as the full version but does not allow saving the recovered items after PST data retrieval. For saving, full version needs to be purchased.
PST Repair Outlook 2007 Tool Versions Supported:
MS Outlook 97, MS Outlook 2000, MS Outlook 2002 (XP), MS Outlook 2003, MS Outlook 2007, MS Outlook 2010, MS Outlook and 2013 (both 32 bit and 64 bit).
Windows 8, 7, Vista, XP, Windows 2000, 2002 and 2003 ( 32bit/ 64bit )

PubMed Abstract | During assembly of the Drosophila olfactory circuit, projection neuron (PN) dendrites prepattern the developing antennal lobe before the arrival of axons from their presynaptic partners, the adult olfactory receptor neurons (ORNs). We previously found that levels of transmembrane Semaphorin-1a, which acts as a receptor, instruct PN dendrite targeting along the dorsolateral-ventromedial axis. Here we show that two secreted semaphorins, Sema-2a and Sema-2b, provide spatial cues for PN dendrite targeting. Sema-2a and Sema-2b proteins are distributed in gradients opposing the Sema-1a protein gradient, and Sema-1a binds to Sema-2a-expressing cells. In Sema-2a and Sema-2b double mutants, PN dendrites that normally target dorsolaterally in the antennal lobe mistarget ventromedially, phenocopying cell-autonomous Sema-1a removal from these PNs. Cell ablation, cell-specific knockdown, and rescue experiments indicate that secreted semaphorins from degenerating larval ORN axons direct dendrite targeting. Thus, a degenerating brain structure instructs the wiring of a developing circuit through the repulsive action of secreted semaphorins. | ||

I have oily hair and usually can see it in my hair around the scalp line on day 2. This product mops up the oil nicely and I was able to stretch between shampoos for 3 days (reapplying daily).
Fabulous Product!

I have tried several dry shampoos, including Ojon, and this one is THE BEST. It has a nice mellow smell (unlike Ojon, which has a very intense perfume smell), and removes the oil from your hair while keeping your style intact.

Our Mission
The Mission of Conscious Box
Conscious Box is dedicated to introducing you to the most ethical, sustainable, and honest businesses that create the purest products available. We scour the marketplace to find those that stand above the rest. Discovery defines the Conscious Box experience.
The Importance of Discovery
We emphasize discovery for a number of reasons. Discovery leads to enlightenment, stronger understanding of others, and better personal and planetary health. By finding conscious businesses that support your personal needs, you can do a lot for the world just by making responsible shopping decisions.
What about Greenwashing?
Conscious Box is committed to overcoming the problem of greenwashing. Used to describe deceptive business tactics that lead consumers to believe something is "green" when it really isn't, "greenwashing" is rampant in today's markets. We hope to educate, inform, and prevent consumers from falling for these tactics by providing them with products that are authentic and purposeful."
The Ethics of Consciousness
Conscious Box, above all, is dedicated to the very ethics it seeks out in other businesses.
Resource Use
We strive to make every aspect of our business as sustainable as possible. We're always looking for ways to reduce waste and increase efficiency to support a more conscious approach to business. Some of the ways we do this is by using 100% post-consumer recycled cardboard, recycled tissue paper, and vegetable-based inks for printing. We also encourage our subscribers to upcycle their boxes and share their ideas on our Facebook page. We're striving to make our business as waste-free as possible, but only you can make this a truly zero-waste experience!
Smart Shipping
We recognize that although we strive to be a waste-free business, the process of shipping can be taxing on our environment. That's why we designed our box with this problem specifically in mind. The size of each Conscious Box was strategically chosen to maximize shipping efficiency while still providing enough space for a huge variety of products in a wide range of shapes and sizes. We're constantly improving upon this process, and always on the lookout for new ways to improve our carbon footprint. As a member of 1% for the Planet we seek to help offset these emissions, and are seeking partnerships with other organizations to continually lessen our impact.
Honest Labor at Fair Wages
Conscious Box is also a supporter of jobs here in the United States. We only employ American workers who receive fair wages for the packing and shipping of boxes. All employees of Conscious Box are also encouraged to speak their minds and help the company move forward. To us, this is a family more than a business.
Protecting the Planet
Conscious Box is also committed to conserving and preserving our home, Mother Earth. We work with 1% for the Planet to make sure every purchase goes to a cause, and we also are active in the green community, spreading the message of environmentalism and encouraging others to take a critical stance when it comes to personal and public sustainability.
Committed to Customers
Finally, we encourage all of our subscribers to write us, review us, and be critical of us! No business is perfect, and Conscious Box is no exception. We constantly seek ways to improve our business, and we know you, the consumer, knows best. Tell us your thoughts and help us make change!

Palm Beach State 75, Polk State 61
Austin Too Strong for Eagles in PBSC's Win
Published: Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 2:51 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, March 8, 2012 at 2:51 a.m.
The Polk State College Eagles couldn't keep pace with the deep roster of the Palm Beach State Panthers Wednesday in the FCSAA State/Region VIII men's basketball tournament at Chipola College in Mariana.
The 10th-ranked Eagles fell to the second-ranked Panthers 75-61 to finish their season with an 18-14 record.
"It was a tough loss," said coach Matt Furjanic.
The Eagles were making their second consecutive trip to the state tournament and 17th overall in the history of the college.
Polk did what Furjanic wanted the Eagles to do in keeping the tempo slow in a halfcourt game with a stong defense.
However, the Eagles couldn't slow down Southern Conference Player of the Year Waverly Austin. Austin scored 25 points and pulled down nine rebounds.
"He was definitely very hard to stop," Furjanic said. "We didn't have an answer for him tonight."
The Eagles trailed by as many as 15 points in the second half when the Panther's deep bench came into play.
Davon Usher led Polk with 18 points and eight rebounds.
The Eagles placed four players on the All Suncoast Conference first team in sophomore guard Sidney Sanders, sophomore forward Robert Gilchrist, freshman guard Ralph Simmons and sophomore guard Jarrel Joye.
Sophomore guard/forward Davon Usher, freshman center Ismaila Dauda and sophomore guard Jarrod Denard were selected to the second team.

I had to rate this on looks and reviews alone but am tempted to make it---with FRESH strawberries. They are in season here right now and it seems a shame to use frozen when sweet fresh ones are available right now. Has anyone tried it this way?

At first I was skeptical because of the cost of all the ingredients, the amount of time needed between the different steps & all the sugar but OMG this was ABSOLUTELY AWESOME!! This cake was very impressive (& I do not impress easily.) Not sweet at all, very light tasting & a beautiful, professional looking cake. I made this cake for Mother's Day & everyone loved it. This cake would be perfect for any special occasion. I did add fresh, sliced strawberries along the top of the cake with a whole, unhulled strawberry in the middle. Will be making this cake often.

I have made this for years but I have added cream cheese pudding to the whipped cream or some cream cheese. If I use frozen strawberries, I allow some strawberries lay on top of cake before I put the whipped cream on that has a little cream cheese. I put the strawberries in the jello first.

OMG!! This was heaven! My husband devoured the cake! I made a few substitutions to make a bit healthier. Instead of oil, use the same amount of unsweetened apple sauce, use egg whites, use one box of sugar free gelatin and puree strawberries and add less water (just enough so the strawberry mixture can be poured over cake), I also used unsweetened strawberries and sprinkled a little bit of splenda over the strawberries and ff whip topping. This is a keeper in my house!!

Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia
The vast expanse and unforgiving arid climate of the Outback may be the first thing that comes to mind with the words "Australian wilderness," but in the Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia nothing could be further from the truth. Located along the southern coast of Victoria, this region is one of the wettest parts of the entire continent.
Thanks to moist ocean winds and the coastal mountains that catch them the Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia are covered with lush temperate rainforests. The area was the site of heavy logging in previous eras but extensive virgin areas abound, especially within the boundaries of Great Otway National Park. This large park, which was created in 2004 when a number of smaller parks were combined, runs along the coast and offers easy access to both mountains and pristine beaches. Dense stands of gum, ash and beech trees provide homes to forest animals. The Otway Ranges, Victoria, Australia is very popular with naturalists and is one of the best places in Victoria to see the iconic Koala in its natural habitat..
Great Otway National Park has numerous camping areas but bear in mind that this is still a rather remote area. Winter rains can occasionally put a damper on transportation, so visitors would be wise to check conditions before finalizing their plans. It's well worth it though, because when a mountain range combines with heavy coastal rainfall it almost always makes for stunning natural vistas. Don't miss seeing one of the Otway Ranges' many waterfalls like Triplet Falls or the Cora Lynn Cascades. Some are easily reached from a nearby road while others require a more strenuous hike. The Great Ocean Walk stretches for 90 hiker-friendly kilometres from Port Apollo to Glenample Homestead, near the famous 12 Apostles.

Old And Busted: Red Wine. New Hotness: Champagne
By Christopher McCollum
Over the years, Red Wine has developed the reputation as being a beverage beneficial to health, whether it be the ability to ward off Heart Disease and high blood pressure, or Cabernet Sauvignon's specific reputed ability to ward of Alzheimer's Disease, there have been many clinical studies that have suggested that moderate consumption of Red Wine is good for you. One of the major healthy elements are chemicals called polyphenols, which restrict the dissipation of nitric oxide in the blood stream, which in turn keeps blood pressure low, reduces the risk of strokes, as well as other heart problems. White wine has not shown the same positive properties, and before recently, Champagne was an unknown. British and French scientists have conducted studies that now show Champagne to be just as beneficial as Red Wine, carrying high levels of polyphenols that improve vascular performance and reduce the potential of the aforementioned diseases and conditions.
This is great news for Culture of Spirits, as many of our favorite libations include Champagne as the primary ingredient. In fact, just a couple evenings ago, Black Velvets were the order of the day, as Micah A. Hanks and myself enjoyed the the health benefits of a certain Irish Stout mixed half and half with Champagne. In addition to the Black Velvet, there's also the Mimosa, which has obvious Vitamin C benefits, and also the Poinsettia, which has additional cranberry benefits of raising good cholesterol (HDL), reducing cancer risk, preventing bladder infections, and a variety of others including but not limited to oral health.
With the imminent dates of Christmas and New Year's Eve nearly upon us, this is particularly good news, as Champagne becomes the ritualistic celebratory beverage of choice. Now when you raise that flute to the sky and make your toasts, you will also have the warm, bubbly knowledge that you're lowering your risk of heart disease!

Snapdragon is a family of mobile processors by Qualcomm. Currently, all Snapdragon processors are based on ARM Cortex A8 design.
There are currently 3 generations of Snapdragon processors:
1st generation
QSD8x50 - this is the most common Snapdragon processor by far. It runs at 1GHz, and features Adreno 200 GPU. Although considered fast when it was first introduced, now it has been exceeded by many other 1GHz processors. Adreno 200 GPU is especially uncompetitive when you compare it against the competitors with the similar Cortex A8 design. QSD8x50 is manufactured using 65nm manufacturing technology, which once again is uncompetitive by today's standard for high-end processors.
The phones that use this processor includes HTC Nexus One, Verizon's Droid Incredible, HTC Desire, HTC Evo, Dell Streak and others.
2nd generation
MSM7x30, MSM8x55 and QSD8x50A - all 3 variations share the same design, differs only by the clock speeds. These 3 variations run at 800MHz, 1.0GHz and 1.3GHz respectively. Each of these features Adreno 205 GPU which runs at significantly higher performance level than Adreno 200 found in the 1st generation Snapdragon processor.
MSM7x30 is used by T-Mobile's HTC G2, HTC Desire Z and Verizon's HTC Lexikon/HTC Merge. MSM8x55 is used by T-Mobile's HTC myTouch HD and HTC Desire HD. QSD8x50A is rumored to be used by HTC Mondrian which will feature Windows Phone 7 OS.
All 2nd generation processors are manufactured using 45nm technology.
3rd generation
The 3rd generation line-up is a bit more interesting. Both are based on 45nm manufacturing and features the same Adreno 220 GPU but the similarity ends there.
MSM8x60 - this processor uses the same Cortex A8 design as the 1st and 2nd generation processors. But with the help of Adreno 220 GPU, graphics operations are expected to be MUCH faster. (For more details on MSM8x60, read this article).
QSD8x72 - this processor is based on Cortex A9 design! Cortext A9 is superior to Cortex A8 design and is expected to outperform all Cortex A8 based processors by a significant margin. GPU power should be equivalent to MSM8x60 however.
MSM8x60 based phones may arrive Q4 2010 or Q1 2011. Possible phones to use this processor includes T-Mobile's HTC Glacier and Verizon's HTC Scorpion, and Sprint's HTC Sabor.
QSD8x72 based phones are not expected to show up until at earliest Q3 of 2011. QSD8x72's true competitors are NVIDIA's Tegra 2, Texas Instrument's OMAP4-series and Samsung's Orion platform.
Performance numbers for 2nd generation Snapdragon processors
I assume this is the reason you are still reading this article.
So how well does it perform compare to other phones of today? Lets look at some benchmark (Quadrant) numbers:
- HTC G2(using MSM7230 at 800MHz) - 1499
- HTC Desire HD (using MSM8255 at 1GHz) - 1974
- Droid X with Froyo (using TI OMAP3640 at 1GHz) - 1431
- HTC Incredible with Froyo (using QSD8650 at 1GHz) - 1202
- Samsung Galaxy S with 2.1 (using Hummingbird at 1GHz) - 880 (to be fair, you can apply XDA lag fix to bring this number up significantly, in this case - 2246)
As you can see, 800MHz MSM7230 is competitive with other 1GHz offerings. MSM8255 outperforms other 1GHz offerings by a significant margin except for Galaxy S (even though it is only using 2.1), which does feature a ultra-powerful GPU by today's standard (PowerVR SGX540). Could XDA developers find ways to increase 1974 past Galaxy S level? We will find out soon enough.
Updated (Oct 13, 2010): Here's the link to some benchmark numbers for Adreno 205 vs current champ - PowerVR SGX540 used in Samsung's Hummingbird.
Updated (Oct 25, 2010): It appears that MSM7230 is a very good overclocking processor! This is actually not very surprising. Original 1st generation processor found in Nexus One is known to overclock to around 1.2GHz without much hassle. With 45nm manufacturing instead of 65nm, it will overclock at least as well and likely better. As you can see in this table, G2 managed to hit 1.55GHz and produced Quadrant result of 2699 which is 2nd highest to date! I have every reason to believe that MSM8x55 will be able to overclock just as easily.
So what makes Qualcomm's 2nd generation processors so powerful? We already know that GPU takes a big part in this. Qualcomm claims users will experience 3-4 times the performance improvement over Adreno 200. Adreno 205's theoretical fill rate is still lower than Samsung Hummingbird's GPU rate though, by about 50% level. Without looking at more detailed Quadrant numbers, it will be challenging to figure out where the improvements were made.
My guess?
All of the above mentioned processors are based on ARM Cortex A8 design. They all feature very similar IPC (instructions per clock) numbers. So for day-to-day tasks that do not require graphics, I suspect they will all perform similarly at the same MHz clock speed. GPU is another story altogether. I expect Samsung Hummingbird's PowerVR SGX540 to continue to outperform Adreno 205 by a small margin, but Adreno 205 is definitely outperforming PowerVR SGX530 found in Droid X.
I do expect QSD8x50A to outperform all other Cortex A8 based processors mainly because it is running at 1.3GHz.
Expect phones based on 1.3GHz QSD8x50A to appear during Q4 of 2010.

The Regents' Engineering Transfer Program (RETP) was designed for students in the state of Georgia who want to study engineering, but who for various reasons prefer to attend another college before coming to Georgia Tech.
Students in this program attend one of fifteen participating institutions where they take all of the mathematics and science and many of the engineering courses required in the first two years of an engineering program at Georgia Tech. Upon successful completion of these classes, the students transfer to Georgia Tech to complete the requirements for an engineering degree.
By enrolling in the RETP, students may attend college close to home, which can decrease the cost of their education and ease the adjustment to college life. Generally, classes at the RETP institutions are small, which permits more individual attention and interaction with professors. At the same time, RETP students enjoy many of the advantages of Tech students: they have equal access to engineering majors at Tech, they can participate in the Co-op program, and they are invited to the Tech campus each spring for campus tours, information sessions, and meetings with advisors in their engineering major.
(To ensure that the above mentioned courses have a direct GT equivalent, check the GT equivalency table by accessing https://oscar.gatech.edu/pls/bprod/wwtraneq.P_TranEq_Ltr).

Haake earns Huskerland honor
Gothenburg High School football coach Craig Haake has been named the Class C-1 Mike Behrens Coach of the Year for 2012 by Huskerland Prep magazine.
The award is given to one coach in each class, honoring head coaches who have led their teams to great seasons though falling short of a state title.
Haake has coached for 25 years including two as assistant at Stuart, four as assistant at Gothenburg, seven as co-head coach at Gothenburg and 12 as head coach of the Swedes.
This year's Swede record was 6-5, including two shutout wins in the state playoffs. Haake's career record at Gothenburg is 107-85.
Haake told Huskerland Prep that the key to his team's success is great leaders who put team chemistry first.
"We were young and talented but needed time to develop and we needed to be shown how it's done," Haake said.
The highlight of the season, he said, was being one of the final eight teams in Class C-1.
"It was a great achievement considering we suited up 14 upperclassmen and nine sophomores at the end of the year."

In the House of the Wicked
by Thomas Sniegoski
$10.48 (paperback)
Roc (Penguin USA)
August 7, 2012
Review copy received from the publisher in exchange for an honest review
Plot Description:
Once he was known as the angel Remiel, but generations ago Boston PI Remy Chandler chose to renounce Heaven and live on Earth, where he found a secure place among us ordinary humans…
Though he may appear human, Remy has always been able to rely on Remiel—the embodiment of his angelic nature—whenever the situation called for it. But now his human and angelic natures are sharing the same space, and Remy can feel himself becoming more and more volatile, no matter how hard he tries to control it.
Then Ashlie Berg, a young woman who is like a daughter to him, vanishes without a trace. Dropping everything, Remy plunges into a frantic search for her, hoping all the while that her disappearance has nothing to do with him—or what he is.
But his hope is short-lived. A once-formidable sorcerer has taken her. The man wants vengeance against those he believes wronged him—and Remy will be the instrument of his wrath, or Ashlie will most certainly die…
The adventures of PI Remy Chandler, who willingly chose to leave Heaven and live on Earth, continue in the latest volume in his series, the aptly titled In the House of the Wicked. This time around, Remy Chandler unwittingly becomes manipulated into getting mixed up with some powerful sorcerer rivals, Konrad Deacon and Algernon Stears, who formed a dangerous cabal who, with the help of lessons from a powerful Fallen Angel centuries ago, created life-sucking golems who looked completely real, and which drew energy from the living in an almost Lovecraftian manner. The bait? Ashley, the daughter of a close family friend, who Deacon kidnaps to lure Chandler. Her safety is his chief concern, so he stops at nothing to find her, and when he does, he learns that Deacon has a nefarious plot in place for him.
It was nice to see Remy's struggle with maintaining his human aspects amid the fire of the Seraphim that screams to be unleashed, as well as his relationship with Linda, who he got together with in the previous book in the series, a sign that he has moved on, although he still pays tribute to his late wife, Madeline, and definitely hasn't forgotten her.
The villains, Konrad and Algernon, were great, both very believable and hate-worthy, particularly Algernon, who has teamed up with some Grigori, who taught sorcerers like him how to create artificial life and to animate Golems in the first place. They're out to get Remy because he destroyed their leader, Sariel.
There's even a cameo appearance by a special character Remy wasn't expecting to meet, which will make the sequel even more interesting. I can't wait to see the burgeoning war that's coming, the battlefield looking like it'll be Earth, but there will definitely be both Heaven and Hell involved. Overall, In the House of the Wicked is another great addition to the series, and Sniegoski makes it easy for anyone who hasn't read the previous books in the series to jump right in and have no trouble following along, or very little trouble. He grounds the reader very well in the previous books of the series and even reminds readers who have been following all the way through that there are some important points to remember, which always helps.
As well, I also liked the fact that the curse word count went way up in this entry And I thought the use of the hobgoblin with the heart of gold, Squire, was very well done, and Ashley proved herself to be more characterized than just the standard "rescue me" damsel in distress.
For the urban fantasy reader in your life who has perhaps never tried the Remy Chandler series, this book makes a great gift, not to mention it's a great recommendation for some wonderful, action-packed holiday reading.

Interesting Fact of the Week:
How Reflexology Massage Sandals Actually Help
Excess wastes, such as Uric Acid and Lactic Acid crystallize and gravitate to the feet. The accumulation of these wastes may impede proper nerve function and blood circulation causing tired aching feet.
The gentle massaging action of the Kenkoh "fingers" helps to break up the accumulated crystals in the feet. These crystals do have sharp edges and putting pressure on them may cause discomfort for some people initially. This is the most important function. Breaking up the crystals and restoring function to your nerves and reflex zones is the magic transformation! The sandals also stimulate blood flow and help to flush the acidic crystals from the circulatory system. Drink extra water during initial therapy (see "Wearing Recommendations".)
Dormant or sluggish nerve endings in the Sole Reflexive Zones are stimulated as well. This stimulation contributes to improving the health and function in related organs and muscles throughout the body.

Interesting Birkenstock Fact: 1996: Birkenstock USA celebrates its 30th anniversary. Birkenstock offers almost 300 style/color combinations, and the footwear is distributed to millions of people throughout the United States.
Birkenstock Makes Quality Footwear
The Birkenstock company has been in business making high quality footwear for more than two hundred years. Made in Germany, Birkenstock shoes, sandals and clogs are constructed with quality craftsmanship using only the best products and materials available. Their contoured shape of the insole, shock absorbing soles, the fine leather and non-leather tops and quality buckle create a shoe that will provide many years of comfortable wear. Every part of these shoes are able to be replaced if needed over time, making them last even longer.
The special designing of the Birkenstocks provide proper weight distribution, with built-in arch support conforming to the foot's most natural and comfortable shape. The raised shape of the bar between the toes and the foot, known as the toe bar, allow the toes to grip the shoes which in turn creates an exercise for the feet, back and legs causing better balance as a result, along with being an aid to circulation. The deep curve of the heel part of the shoes allow for better stability. All of this put together makes for healthier feet and keep the back and legs in alignment.
The unique comfort and shape of this footwear encourages better health overall. Many people claim that the longer they own their Birkenstocks, the more their feet adapt to the excellent shape of the shoe becoming even more comfortable over time. The foot beds give way to the bones and shape of each individual foot, creating a positive way to keep your feet, knees, legs and back in better health and alignment.
In the course of a good many hours of standing and walking, proper shoes are essential to your good health. The essential fact that these shoes are actually helping you in your daily activities and overall well-being, is the best reason to own a pair of Birkenstocks. If your feet, legs or back have been suffering in low quality shoes for any length of time, wearing Birkenstocks will be a real treat for you, allowing them to take on their natural shape for the greatest comfort.
The high expertise in the manufacturing of these fine products combined with the very best materials such as smooth leather, suede leather, jute, microfibre, polyurethane and nubuck along with the fact that they are completely repairable, make them a sound investment in a person's life and finances. They are even perfect for those wishing to live animal free, using man-made products.
These great items also have great orthotic support when it comes to open footwear and they are an appealing alternative to the usual orthotic shoes. They are available in two different widths to fit the needs of all people. The latex and cork are molded precisely to create the most ecological home for your feet when shoes are needed.
Although there was a time these shoes were well known and used among the hippie culture, this company has come a long way in developing their reputation as one that is accepted on all levels of society.

Birkenstock: Quality Footwear for Everyone
Birkenstock has been synonymous with quality footwear since 1774. Made in Germany, these clogs, sandals, and shoes are designed to support your feet, and provide absolute comfort throughout the entire day.
There are several reasons why Birkenstocks outlast the competition. One of them is the traditional styles which continue to be popular while fads come and go. Leather never goes out of fashion, nor does the virtue of a simple shade of brown or black. If they are well cared for, leather sandals will keep a pair of feet healthy and well supported for many summers.
It is important not to overlook the footbed and what sets one product apart from another. In the case of Birkenstocks, there is shock absorption to protect foot and ankle joints. The heel is deep for comfort and traction.Another reason that Birkenstock sandals are so enduring is that they support the arch of a foot without the addition of insoles. There are three types of arch support available: soft, moderate, and high arch support. With width selections to choose from as well and lots of toe room, many consumers with unusually shaped feet will still find the ideal shoe if they peruse the Birkenstock website.
For the teen—or even adult—who prefers bright colors, a number of new shades have been added over the years. They include anemone, silver pine, and picante. Some are available in patent or soft leather. Others are the shades of suede footwear.
One important feature of the Birkenstock sandal is that even thongs are adjustable. Numerous designs have a buckle which means that, if feet swell because of heat or health issues, a customer's shoes can adapt, remaining comfortable and practical. There is typically at least one buckle on a pair of open-toed sandals. Sandal varieties include open and closed backs, ankle straps (for men women & children), and two-strap styles. Clogs are another matter: some have no buckles at all, just a soft enclosure at the front and an open back. Others provide buckle adjustment across the top, while the t-strap is suggestive of old-fashioned girls' shoes.
Recently, Birkenstock branched out to create several lines of shoes which are fully enclosed. They are laced-up at the front and feature minimal stitching. Men will find them to be light yet durable with good traction.
While the quality of Birkenstocks is critical, another reason consumers choose their products is because of their dedication to green initiatives. For instance, they make their cork soles out of recycled materials from the wine industry. Leftover materials are then recycled for other uses. Birkenstock footwear can be repaired. If a buckle comes loose or rusty but the rest of the shoe is in good shape, take it to a local retailer for repair. The company also suggests ways to treat and clean specific materials such as cork, Nubuck leather, and suede so that they will last many years.

Gun manufacturers and retailers throughout New England are struggling to keep up with surging demand as buyers, worried their options may soon be limited, snap up firearms and ammunition.
Shops say they have sold out of many popular gun models, including variations of the AR-15-style rifle used in last month's mass shootings in Newtown, Conn. Some retailers have resorted to capping the number of bullets customers can buy in an effort to preserve dwindling inventories, or taken to marking up prices.
Something is rotten in Denmark. Truly it is just a tragedy. what made us like this or were we always of the Wild West menality. I remember when I was young loving rifile target practice. It was fun. But NO way as an adult did I grow up with the desire to own an arsenal. When I was a child I acted as a child. As an adult I put away childish things. Do people really feel THAT threatend? Perhaps they do. This is our American tragedy.
This comment has been removed.
One doesn't buy bullets. One buys cartridges which is a bullet plus a casing and a firing charge. I see these reporters don't know firearms all that well. I don't suppose many Globe writers do.
I actually don't own any guns myself, but I do know what ammunition is composed of.
If you were drafted into the military or signed up to avoid the draft, you know about firearms. I do, but I've never owned one and never will.
Most educated young people today don't join the military so they don't have intimate knowledge of firearms unless they have enough interest to educate themselves.
I neither own, nor want to own, a gun. However, people are justifiably afraid of government over reach. Democrats have a disregard for the Constitution of the US which guarantgees the right to own firearms. The Second Amendment is there to protect citizens from tyrannical government and the people will not easily give up that right.
Anyone who worries about "tyrannical government" shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. Do you actually think that a handgun, or an AR-15-style rifle, is going to be of any use against, say, the United States Marine Corp? The Second Amendment was written for a United States that no longer exists, and has not existed for a long time. We now have a national, standing army that will protect the US much better than state militias.
It is safe to assume that some of the people who read this article are among those who have either made a recent gun purchase, or tried to make a recent gun purchase. And certainly other gun owners are reading now. I am also betting that most of you gun owners don't envision yourselves as initiating a gun event with another person. You see yourselves as arming for defensive protection rather than an offensive attack. But except for very rare occasions, the only time you would need a gun for protection is from another person with a gun. Therefore, by definition, gun owners are each others worst enemies. When you walk into a gun show, or gun store, you would be more likely to be standing next to the person from whom you need protection than you are when standing in some other spot.
As a person who doesn't own a gun, and a person who will never physically attack someone else with a fist, let alone a gun, I promise that you won't need your gun to protect yourself from me. I hope you remember that and can act on that at all times in the future, even if you've been drinking, doing drugs, suddenly very fearful, or otherwise distracted in your decision-making.
I also pray that I don't happen to be in the middle of a firefight between a couple of gun owners in the middle of the town square, and end up being an innocent victim of two people who have totally lost control of their senses.
This is the world that you gun owners are creating when you race to arm yourselves. More guns make everyone less safe. They make no one more safe, including the gun owners.
You have very narrow view of guns and gun ownership. It's not the legal gun owners that present the problem. It's the criminal that is breaking into a house armed with an illegal gun, knife, or anything else that could seriously injure the occupants. Guns are also used for hunting and target shooting. If you're worried about the race to arms then you should call your elected official and tell them to stop trampling on the 2nd amendment. I assure you the race would stop.
I have not read about any "gunfights" in the middle of any town squares? Where in the heck do you live? I am sure the BG would have made a shootout like that front page news!
A gun is also extremely handy for protection against people with baseball bats, knives, tire irons, all manner of nasty things they want to use to beat your brains out of your skull with.
Rare occasions? The only reason you think having to defend yourself is "rare" is because attacks have become commonplace. They are not "news" anymore, you don't see them in the BG unless there is something "interesting" about them. Getting your brains beat in at a parking garage is just not news, especially if the perp is not apprehended.
I am a gun owner and a target shooter. Center-fire rounds can be expensive, so I reload my own. I live in New Hampshire, a state with resonable gun laws, but buy my bullets (projectiles) from a company in MA. Eventhough I could drive to the company, I can't transport the bullets legally. If all of the restrictive gun laws lowered crime, they would make sense. More laws will do nothing except make guns and ammo more expensive for all. Early gun safety training would make more sense and cost way less than trying to enforce some of the ludicrous laws on the books.
Demagoguery in action: big business using fear to stampede the unenlightened to buy useless crap they don't really need. Cowards being pushed around by bullies like the gun lobby, which supports death-dealers like Smith and Wesson. The 2nd Amendment is an anachronism. Take look at some of the ridiculous old laws from that same era that are still on the books. YOu need a gun to ptrotect you from your own government? Horse hockey. This ain't Syria- never has been, never will be.
Death-dealers. . . Ooooo, how dramatic! Pssst, they also support the death dealing US military, so go easy on that one, ok?
Never has been, never will be. Really? You do any other fortune telling tricks? Mine says that it will eventually reduce itself to tyranny. Mine is better than yours, it is Mark IV, time rift modified, Shift Enabled Galaxy Model.
After shaving his head into a mohawk, Travis attends a public rally where he attempts to assassinate Senator Palantine, but Secret Service agents notice him and he flees without taking a shot. He returns to his apartment and then drives to the East Village, where he confronts Sport. Travis shoots him, then walks into Iris' brothel and shoots off the bouncer's fingers. After Sport shoots Travis in the neck, wounding him, Travis shoots him dead. Another thug appears and shoots Travis in the arm, but Travis reveals his sleeve gun and kills the thug. The bouncer continues to harass Travis, causing Travis to shoot him in the head and kill him. As a horrified Iris cries, Travis attempts suicide but, out of ammunition, resigns himself to a sofa until police arrive. When they do, he places his index finger against his temple gesturing the act of shooting himself. Recuperating, Travis receives a letter from Iris's parents who thank him for saving her and the media hail him as a hero. Travis then returns to his job and encounters Betsy as a fare. She discusses his newly found fame, but he denies being a hero and drops her off for free. He glances anxiously at her in his rear view mirror as he drives away. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taxi_Driver
WOW! This article really got the anti gunners undies in a twist. I suppose it frustrates them, knowing there are literally thousands upon thousands of people who do not agree with them. Actually it is millions, cause this event is not peculiar to MA, it has happened all across the country.
But, like good little liberals they scream that the 2nd amendment is out of date.
They cry that people are being "bullied" into buying guns by big business and the hateful NRA. (Bullied is the new rock em, sock em word of the liberals)
They assert that gun owners shoot each other, ignoring that criminals actually do the shooting.
They howl the tired old "less guns make the world a safer place" mantra.
One claims that if a gun owner believes a gov could become tyrannical, that is evidence enough to prevent gun ownership. Twisted liberal thinking at its best, or worst.
Claims are made that the US Marine Corps will shoot the citizens of this country. If I were a leader ordering the citizens of this country to be shot, I would start worrying about the USMC shooting me, not the other way around. (but liberals assume everyone is on their side, they always have a "majority", imaginary counts in their world)
Childish remarks are made about manhood, ignoring the fact that female ownership is the fastest growing segment of the firearms industry. This is the tactic of trying to shame someone into submission.
One states that people love their guns more than their children. Never stops to realize that people have guns because they love their children and want to protect them. But that sounded like a great thing to say in an attempt to shame.
And one says that Democrats have done more to sell guns than the NRA. AMEN.
You gun hating, sloganeering, fear mongering, reality denying liberals have done an excellent job of convincing people they NEED guns, to protect themselves from YOUR incredibly stupid ideas.
I do not believe that the Westboro Baptist Church should be allowed to protest soldiers funerals but I believe that that the 1st Amendment protection of such actions is more important than the action itself. I dont necessarily think a tyrannical government is going to take my guns but constitutional scholars have consistently stated that if the reason for an original right from the Bill of Rights doesn't exist anymore, the right still exists. Ask the people of New Orleans post Katrina if they think the government can provide security under all conditions for their families. Ask the two Duxbury cops who had their homes invaded in broad daylight if this is a rare occasion. Lot's of childish babble on the forum today but no constructive dialogue. "Death dealers", comparing a right from the Bill of Rights to a "ridiculous old law", this accomplishes nothing.
