This is not the late '90s, and these Miami Heat are not built around the hopelessly flawed pairing that was Alonzo Mourning and Tim Hardaway. If LeBron James and Dwyane Wade still need some work on their game-day symmetry, they should not be mistaken for a couple of first-round fall guys.
So the New York Knicks need to stay right where they are, in the Eastern Conference eight hole, and take their longshot chances with the Chicago Bulls. This was the moral of the story from Heat 93, Knicks 85, no matter what the most hopeful voices were selling on the losing side of the Garden.
"I think it's going to be a different story during the postseason," J.R. Smith said.
"It definitely hurts," Baron Davis said of the defeat, "but I like our chances against this team."
I don't. For all their real and imagined struggles, for all the numbers suggesting that James and his team have been better off when Wade's been out, the Heat still represent the one team the Knicks should avoid like, you know, a pep talk from Mike D'Antoni.
Sunday, James was good for 29 points, 10 rebounds and 3 assists, and Wade was good for 28 points, 9 rebounds and 4 assists, the two of them raging against the notion that their partnership is so imperfect that Pat Riley might have to break it up in the event of another unhappy playoff ending.
Of course, the Heat can blame themselves for the mere thought. James and Wade mocked Dirk Nowitzki with their fake coughs for the cameras in June, and then gagged away a NBA Finals that was theirs. This time around, they staggered into the Garden with 10 defeats in their previous 24 games, a 4-4 record in April, and an alarming recent history of losing road games to anyone worth a damn.
But Sunday was a day for the Heat to change the narrative, to suggest that they've been succumbed to regular-season boredom, nothing more. Understanding that they might face the Knicks in Round 1, and realizing that they needed to revive themselves sooner than later, the Heat turned a one-point game with six minutes left into a term paper on why Knicks fans should be hoping and praying for the Bulls.
James removed his mouthpiece when called for a questionable offensive foul, leaving him with that beleaguered, collapse-here-I-come look on his fourth-quarter face. But with the Garden anticipating a 10th consecutive home victory under Mike Woodson, the Knicks folded instead.
While Tyson Chandler was committing a three-second violation and Smith and Carmelo Anthony were missing 3-pointers, Wade and James nailed the jumpers that effectively killed the home team's hopes of winning the division and escaping the prison that is the eighth or seventh seed.
"I don't even know what happened," said Anthony, who scored 42 but made only two field goals in the fourth. "It just happened so fast."
Down Amare Stoudemire (for now) and Jeremy Lin, the Knicks don't have the firepower to stay with a serious contender like the Heat. Anthony had 29 points early in the third quarter when the Knicks suddenly, shockingly, forgot all about him, going nearly five and a half minutes without scoring a basket and without getting Melo a meaningful touch.
When Anthony had it rolling, Miami coach Erik Spoelstra said, "the basket looked like an ocean to him." But LeBron, who entered with a 5-9 head-to-head record against Anthony, remained true to a defensive plan that he felt contributed to Melo's 2-for-7 in the fourth.
"They're going to make shots," James said of Anthony and other elite scorers, "and hopefully down the stretch you try to continue to wear on them, and hopefully they start to miss a few. That's what I was able to do. I was just trying to be aggressive on Carmelo."
It worked, sort of, even if 42 points is 42 points. "Their one great player played great," said Wade, who left unspoken the fact that Miami doesn't need to rely on one great player.
The Heat have two superstars, and Chris Bosh occasionally plays one on TV. "I don't think there are many teams that match up well with Miami," Steve Novak said. "They have some guns."
Meanwhile, Chicago looks a little more like the Knicks, with one big-time star and a supporting cast of good-not-greats. Derrick Rose also happens to be banged up, forcing the Bulls to will their way to the No. 1 seed on defense, passion and guile. And coaching. Tom Thibodeau is about as good as it gets.
But seriously, who would you rather face in a best-of-seven series, Rose and Thibodeau or James and Wade?
"I think we match up with [the Heat] well," Davis said. "We're up for the challenge. We like the attention, and we like playing against that team."
Davis reasoned that the Heat have been healthier than the Knicks, allowing the top seed to establish an identity that has eluded the bottom seed. If Stoudemire makes a relatively seamless return before the playoffs, Davis said, "We'll be just as good as anybody."
Either way, the Knicks won't be as good as the Heat, or the Bulls for that matter. Look at the standings.
"We feel very confident going against anybody right now," Melo maintained, "regardless of who it is. Our confidence is sky high."
But one year later, Miami is still the same team that tore through the 2011 Eastern Conference tournament, allowing the Sixers, Celtics and Bulls a combined three victories. No matter what happened against Dallas in the NBA Finals, the intensity, selflessness and athleticism Miami showed in those first three rounds shouldn't be forgotten.
So the Knicks should do something they didn't dare do in Michael Jordan's day. Hope for the Bulls, and hope for the best.

CTL Medical Corporation is a Corridor-based, medical device manufacturing and service company, and they are a global leader in the manufacturing of devices for spinal surgeries and therapies. The company recently moved their operations to Addison, and we got a chance to learn more about their company, its culture, what the future holds and some of the unique elements that have helped establish them as an industry leader.
Established in 2015 by Daniel Chon, former president & CEO of AccelSPINE, CTL Medical Corporation was formed with the vision of creating a fully integrated, industry leading, global medical device design, development and manufacturing company. With that vision in mind, CTL Medical Corporation assembled a world-class executive team, bringing together some of the industry's most exceptional talent. That assembly of talent helped the company realize the recent acquisitions of RF Precision Manufacturing, a Dallas-based medical device manufacturer, and AccelSPINE, a nationally recognized medical device developer.
Speaking about the founding vision of the company, Daniel Chon shared, "We certainly uphold this vision currently, but aren't so disillusioned to believe that it will remain static. As our organization grows, this vision will continue to evolve. Our desire is to make the greatest impact possible on the lives of those in need of spinal surgical intervention."
Chon explained that CTL Medical was built around three key principles, "People—we are people just like you, and we treat others as we wish to be treated, building lasting relationships and trusting partnerships with all our clients. Power—we are an accomplished group of individuals who pride ourselves on delivering quality products, service and innovation. Passion—we genuinely love what we do: empowering and enabling the hands of the medical professionals who heal those in need. These principals have molded our culture and been the foundation of our success."
What Makes Them Unique
Chon shared how becoming a fully integrated medical device supplier has afforded CTL has several unique identifiers. "We listen to our surgeons, we persevere to understand their need, and we maximize our extensive internal resources to respond to those needs. We maintain a positive attitude, we know we are not perfect—but have the courage to accept that, and move quickly to find a way to make things happen."
In an industry where patients trust their lives to surgeons, doctors and nurses, we see how much those same surgeons, doctors and nurses are putting their trust in the equipment and tools they use; and why they trust CTL.
The Future
CTL has an internal research and development team of nine engineers, who have more than 65 years of combined industry experience. They are constantly at work developing new spine and pain management technologies. CTL's in-house manufacturing also allows them to maximize resources, increase quality control and optimize time to market. In other words, they are able to maintain control of just about every aspect of their products, ensuring that the equipment meets their high standards.
CTL Medical recently moved into a new 30,000-square foot facility on Excel Parkway right here in Addison. They chose this location as their centralized headquarters because of Addison's unique reach to all parts of the Metroplex and North Texas. As the only fully integrated spine device, design, manufacturing and sales company in Addison, CTL Medical hopes to expand their business and continue successful and mutually beneficial relationships with both the Town of Addison and the health care industry they serve.

Dr. Newman's Faculty Collaboration Database
Central to the ability of vascular cells to adhere to the extracellular matrix and to each other is an abundant supply of cell surface adhesion molecules that, in addition to influencing the adhesive phenotype of the cell, are also capable of transmitting signals into, and responding to signals from, the cell interior (often referred to an outside/in and inside/out signal transduction, respectively). Such post-ligand events occur by virtue of the ability of these transmembrane proteins to interact with intracellular kinases and phosphatases, G-proteins, adapter proteins, and cytoskeletal components. Our laboratory divides its attention between exploring the role of stimulatory and inhibitory receptors in regulating adhesion and aggregation of human and murine platelets (funded through a Program Project grant), and the structure and function of PECAM-1 in the blood and vascular cells in which it is expressed (funded through a long-standing R01).

The Pennsylvania Department of Education (PDE) and the Pennsylvania Association of Federal Program Coordinators (PAFPC) are pleased to announce that the 2018 Pennsylvania Title I Improving School Performance (ISP) Conference will be held at the Sheraton Station Square in Pittsburgh, PA.
The Conference will begin at 4:00 p.m. on Sunday, January 28th and end at noon on Wednesday, January 31st. Registration will open January 28th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. with conference sessions beginning on Monday, January 29th. Cost of full registration for the conference is $400.00 and includes continental breakfast each day and lunch on Monday and Tuesday.
Conference Theme: The theme of this year's conference is Leading & Learning. This year's theme directly reflects the purpose of the Every Student Succeeds Act (ESSA) of 2015 and the Pennsylvania Department of Education's goals in personalizing each child's education through effective practice and strong leadership. Our expectation is that districts and schools use federal funds to implement programs and practices that are evidence-based and proven effective. Pennsylvania schools, teachers, and students will focus on literacy in Pennsylvania.
Goals: Our primary goal is to present the most up-to-date information on Pennsylvania students and schools in order to build the capacity of Pennsylvania educators, as well as provide networking opportunities for conference participants. By providing sessions on effective practices, participants will learn about proven strategies that have made a positive academic impact in schools and districts across the Commonwealth. By focusing on key areas, participants will be provided with fundamental information necessary to meet the continuing challenges facing educators and students in Pennsylvania. Included again in 2018 will be a strand dedicated to the successes of our secondary schools.
Presenters: For the 2018 PA ISP Conference, presenters will be recruited and accepted from:
Conference Strands and Topics: The proposed strands/targets for the 2018 conference will be organized around the general requirements of ESEA with respect to:
Call for Session Proposals: The sponsors of this conference encourage the staff of all schools and districts that have improved their performance with respect to one or more of the above strands/targets to consider responding to the conference Request for Proposal (RFP) that is available on the PAFPC website (www.pafpc.org). This invitation is meant for all schools and districts, irrespective of whether improvements have been achieved solely through local initiatives, achieved with the help of external technical assistance groups, and/or achieved through support from specific state and federal programs.
Sessions will be approved by PDE and will include information on accountability requirements, achievement gap expectations, flexibility and supports to priority, school performance profiles, annual measurable objectives and digital resources and supports available.
Conference Sessions: Over fifty, 90 to 180-minute sessions will be offered during the conference. For educators who have never participated in the conference, the 2017 conference program book is available PAFPC website. The program book includes descriptions of the sessions that were presented and reflects that, in general, conference sessions are presented by staff members of schools/districts that have improved performance on one or more of the targets and who are prepared to share:
The program booklet also shows that sessions were collaboratively presented by district/school staff members and by PDE staff, Intermediate Unit staff and/or outside resources persons.
Priorities for 2018 Sessions: The ISP Conference has always had a significant number of sessions on effective school improvement strategies resulting in the improvement of elementary reading achievement. Conference organizers have consistently attempted to increase the number of sessions in elementary mathematics and science and secondary school programs. This year, we again extend targeted and specific invitations to those schools and educators that have made significant improvements in secondary schools. Please consider sharing your successes at the 2018 ISP Conference. We want to be sure to highlight these content areas and grade-levels as they continue to be a high-need within our schools.
Registration: Participants must register online through the PAFPC website. All conference information and registration information will be posted on the PAFPC Title I ISP Conference page.
Assistance Available for ISP Proposal Submissions: The primary purpose of the ISP Conference is to facilitate the sharing of rich information about successful school improvement efforts. To help school/district staff write quality session descriptions for the program booklet, PDE has again asked a consultant to be available by email to help writers understand what session descriptions should include and to provide editorial suggestions on how their proposed session descriptions could be strengthened. As part of the proposal review process, the consultant will provide suggestions on how each description might be strengthened.
To obtain pre-submission help, email: email@example.com. Note: If a school has a concern about meeting the proposal deadline, please email the ISP consultant at email@example.com.
The PDE recognizes the costs that districts/schools may incur when presenting a session at the ISP Conference. To help with these expenses, PDE will cover the registration costs of two presenters for each accepted session as well as the cost of two hotel rooms.

- As noted, former WWE Superstar Ryback revealed on his podcast, Conversation with the Big Guy, that he has officially changed his name to Ryback Alan Reeves from Ryan Alan Reeves. He noted that the name comes from combining his former first name, Ryan, with Silverback. He said that it isn't fair that wrestlers spend so much time creating their brand and are told that they are responsible for their brand, and then can't use their identity when they leave. He said that there is a big difference between advertising himself as "Big Guy" Ryback and Ryan Reeves.

COSTA MESA, Calif. --The city of Costa Mesa officially canceled plans to lay off 70 workers.
The layoffs were part of the controversial plan to outsource the jobs to save the city money. The city is sending letters to the affected workers.
"I know this period has been difficult for you, your department and the city, and I appreciate your professionalism through it all," wrote City Chief Executive Officer Tom Hatch in the letter. "We still have significant budget challenges ahead, but we will work through them together. I hope you, your family and friends have a peaceful and safe holiday season."
The city council also asked the Costa Mesa City Employees Association to drop the lawsuit it filed to prevent the outsourcing and layoffs.

Charles Onians writes on the AP via Yahoo News:
PORT-AU-PRINCE — Amid the mass of aid agencies piling in to help Haiti quake victims is a batch of Church of Scientology "volunteer ministers", claiming to use the power of touch to reconnect nervous systems.
Clad in yellow T-shirts emblazoned with the logo of the controversial US-based group, smiling volunteers fan out among the injured lying under makeshift shelters in the courtyard of Port-au-Prince's General Hospital.
A wealthy private donor provided his airplane to fly in 80 volunteers from Los Angeles, along with 50 Haitian-American-doctors, in a gesture worth 400,000 dollars, said a Parisian volunteer who gave her name as Sylvie.
"We're trained as volunteer ministers, we use a process called 'assist' to follow the nervous system to reconnect the main points, to bring back communication," she said.
"When you get a sudden shock to a part of your body the energy gets stuck, so we re-establish communication within the body by touching people through their clothes, and asking people to feel the touch."

repugn the weathercockPosted: October 30th, 2016 | Filed under: God | Tags: bitterness, divisions, faith, hope | No Comments »
Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. -Romans 13:1 NIV
You have a choice regarding how you look at life. You can choose fear or faith. You can't have both. You can't choose fear when it socially suits you in your pursuit of relevance, only to choose faith when the emotional fork-in-the-road is over. Decide who you are, what or Whom you serve, or forever become an empty reflection of an unthinking social media ticker. One day they abhor divisive talk and the next day they bait a divisive discussion. One day they choose left, then the wind changes direction and they are the biggest advocate for the right. Repugn the weathercock.
They burn with fear and call it passion. What will become of all of their fear-talk and ultimatums when this is over? The braveheart would fight to the death. They present as warriors for their cause when they're behind the safety of a screen, but time and change turn them into weak and insipid pawns. They won't fight to the death, they'll normalize it and find some other parade float to ride on.
Choose faith. You already know Who wins. What is your problem? Don't you recognize fear-mongers taunt by now? They report as though there is no God. They speak as though He cannot hear. They flirt with your need for something meaningful and call you away from your First Love. The easily manipulated take a bite like they've been invited to a King's feast. Run from them. Fear's secret lovers think they know how this is going to turn out. They confuse satire for breaking news and sing karaoke quality gossip like they're going to change the lives of their listeners.
Make hope your center of gravity. Seal out irrational sensationalism. Don't be a cheap conduit of panicked ultimatums. There are forces that want to pit us against one another, but we are not naturally inclined to be like that. We don't look for differences, we look for similarities. But, when presented with requisitions and threats of impending doom, we are forced to consider the faulty logic and reject the weak-minded fuel of the mob mentality.
Pray. Do it with certainty that God has authority. Pray with faith based on the fact that He gets His way. Pray without doubting and if you have people in your life who make you forget, then silence their voices by blocking their path to your door. It's weird seasons like this that are a sieve to catch the unstable and uneducated. You can't talk sense to a nonthinker, they'll just dumb down your efforts. The intelligent publicly ignore the nonsense of fools and privately pray for the prevalence of unity, freedom, intelligence, and truth. Go down in history as an advocate for wisdom and peace. Be a Rock-anchored beacon and let the storm kick up your hair, making you all the more beautiful.
If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea that is driven and tossed by the wind. For that person must not suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. – James 1:5-8 ESV

If you've ever wondered what Jane Austen thought of Walter Scott, whether she was good at spillikins, or how Emma and Mr Knightley fared after they were married, then this memoir will provide you with the answers. This edition, originally published in 1989, features an introduction by Fay Weldon and numerous images, re-sourced in colour for this reissue. The binding has also been redesigned to complement our recent editions of Austen's novels; Pride and Prejudice, Emma and Sense and Sensibility.
Written by her nephew in 1869, half a century after her death, the memoir offers a unique insight into Austen's life and the society in which she grew up. James Edward Austen-Leigh was only 20 when his aunt died, but as an eager and punctilious social historian, he presents a vivid reconstruction of events in the Austen household. His first-hand knowledge of his aunt is recorded with 'a distinct recollection of her person and character', and his candid and heartfelt account remains a primary source of our knowledge about her, and the time in which she lived. It also generated a great deal of interest when it was first published, and prompted the reissue of her novels.
This volume reproduces the second, 1871 edition of the memoir, which also included an excerpt from Austen's juvenilia, along with many of her letters, which are always entertaining and display the mordant perspective she brought to her fiction: 'Mr B seems nothing more than a tall young man.' This is the first biography of the beloved author, and a very important one. We are left feeling we have been granted a very personal glimpse behind the scenes of a genius at work; the 'Immortal Jane' writing on tiny pieces of paper, ears pricked to hear the creaking swing door, announcing the entrance of an inquisitive relation.
Fay Weldon is the author of The Life and Loves of a She-Devil (1983). She has written over thirty novels since her first was published in 1968; five collections of short stories; and many plays for stage, radio and television, including in 1980 an adaptation of Pride and Prejudice for the BBC. Her Letters to Alice: On First Reading Jane Austen (1984) has become a classic introduction to Austen's fiction. She was made a CBE for services to literature in 2001, and is currently Professor of Creative Writing at Bath Spa University. For The Folio Society he has introduced Jane Austen's Emma(2015)

Blitzcrank Build
Ability Sequence
Not Updated For Current Season
The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
I played a lot of champions before I found "my champion," and none have shined more than the Great Steam Golem, Blitzcrank. What I love about this champion is that he can adjust to any enemy team and can help carry your team to victory.
In this build I'll show you how to build your Blitzcrank for different situations, but I suggest that you have some amount of experience playing as Crank. Good aim and confusing your opponent(s) with different angles and hiding spots is your key to success.
Summoner Skills:
·Flash: Although its distance was heavily nerfed, it's still a great skill to escape a dangerous situation, get a last hit on an enemy, or it can be utilized for a flash grab
·Ignite: Another way to make sure you get that last hit in, mainly used early game
·Exhaust: Favored by many as you can use it to slow and chase down weakened enemies or to escape
·Teleport: A great way to make sure you don't miss out on too much exp while visiting the shop and it can also be used to defend towers or set up ganks
Skill Build:
·If you're dealing with two ranged champions, be sure to put points into Rocket Grab early
·If you're against two melee champions, put most of your points into Power Fist
·If you're against one of each, I suggest following the order I posted
·Set your skills to how you use them, Rocket Grab and Power Fist will reduce cooldowns and Overdrive will increase your attack speed and movement speed
Pre-Game Tips:
·You're mainly a support champion, don't be too aggressive
·Learn to use all surrounding bushes to confuse your opponents with your grabs
·Set down wards to see incoming ganks and hiding champions
·Use a champion with skill shots before using Blitzcrank to practice aim
·Be wary of minions infront of enemy champions, don't waste your mana on unsure grabs
·Always use Power Fist after a grab to stun, save Static Field and Overthrust unless you need them
·Static Field's passive is useful on its own
·Get the Lizard and Golem enchantments whenever you can!
Early Game:
Buy a Sapphire Crystal and 2x Health Potions. Rocket Grab in the bushes a few seconds after minions spawn, it's a great way to scare off your opponents or even get an early kill. Always stay within your turret's range unless you're last-hitting minions, turret grabs will get you early kills and/or assists. Whatever you do, don't harass the enemy champions, you don't have the mana capacity for that. You wanna conserve your mana until you think/know you can take out an opponent with the help of your turret or lane partner. As soon as you have the money, buy your Sheen and maybe even Mercury Treads.
·Your core should be,,if you have the money
·Don't buy Long Sword if you see you're not racking up the kills and assists
Mid Game:
By now you should have a few kills/assists and start pushing town your lane's Outer Turret. Blitzcrank's actually a decent pusher despite his slow attack speed, whenever you kill one or both enemies Power Fist and Overdrive to deal some damage to their turret. If you see yourself getting kills/assists and not dying, buy yourself a nice Sword of the Occult, I swear by this item since I get a lot of kills and assists from good grabs. You may notice lanes starting to fall apart, now you should be helping defend your turrets and pulling one enemy at a time for you and your team to jump on.
·Your core should be,,,if you have the money.
·Don't buy Sword of the Occult if you see you're not racking up the kills and assists
Late Game:
By now everyone has ditched their lanes and people are ganging on each other and pushing like mad. Still stick with your team and pull your opponents one by one and help push once 2-3 are dead. You should be finishing up your Banshee's Veil and starting on your Infinity Edge if you're lucky. If you managed to stay alive and get some kills and assists in, your Sword of the Occult should be making you something to be feared on its own.
·Your core should be,,,,
·You can swap out the Infinity Edge for the Black Cleaver if you need more armor penetration
·I very rarely finish my item build, but it adds great survivability and damage output in long games
If you don't agree with an item I listed, buy something else that suits your play style better, and the same thing goes for runes and masteries. I'm a very non-aggressive player, and this build suits me perfectly, it has a high damage output as well as great survivability and escape acts. In my opinion, Support Blitz beats AP Blitz every time.
With this build and the mindset of not being too aggressive, your Blitzcrank will be ready for anything. I usually finish games with at very least a 5:1 ratio, I'm currently at 929-182-738 (kills-deaths-assists).
This is the first build I've ever posted so please critique me and actually leave comments, I promise I'll respond :3

Pump Valve
Pump Valve
Aump valve automatically regulates downstream pressure and provides a constant pressure until the demand in the system is no longer required. Depending on the on the model of the pump control valve an integral or external low flow by-pass allows the system pressure to slowly rise under low demand and fill the tank or reservoir until the pressure switch setting is reached.
Most pump control valves have a backpressure feature designed to minimize the surges associated with the starting and stopping of pumps, and automatically throttle toward closed when pump discharge pressure falls below an adjustable minimum, increasing backpressure against the pump. The pump control valve opens at an adjustable rate upon pump start-up, and closes at an adjustable rate upon pump shut-off. When the valve is near closed a limit switch is tripped, turning the pump off. The pump starts and stops against a closed valve, and has provisions for manual operation in the event of power outages. Electrically interfaced with the pump motor, the valve opens and closes at an adjustable speed, providing a smooth, predictable transition of pump discharge pressure and volume into the system.
Pump Valves
Flomatic® Corporation offers the Cycle Gard CL series CIN101 a single chamber pilot operated constant pressure pump control valve. This pump control valve automatically adjusts to provide constant pressure at different flows and works with any pump. This simple mechanical device saves electricity, eliminates water hammer and extends the service life of the pump while providing a constant pressure regardless of water flow. The field adjustable external by-pass provides full control of the tank fill rate for adjustable run time of the pump.

The Putco Pure Halogen Bulbs are a great conversion from the standard bulbs. I choose the blue bulbs because of the color but if you need the light at night, go with a white bulb. I already knew that these weren't the brightest bulbs but they are bright enough for me and definitely brighter than the standard bulbs. My standard bulb gave out on a washboard dirt road, so I decided to make the switch then. Not one year that standard bulb lasted. Only time will tell how long this bulb will last.

7) While were on the topic of insanity, or at least inanity, a large number of naïve developers will continue to think that open source is a great way to do something good for the world of technology, while an equally large number of VCs will be laughing all the way to the bank building business models that rely on the kindness and free labor of these poor saps.
8) The blogosphere will continue to expand, and usable information will continue to diminish proportionally, and no one will be able to explain why.
9) Vendors will continue to market to a mid-market customer who is largely a creation of their own misunderstandings of the market, and then everyone will wonder why the mid-market didnt really take off in 2008.
10) The entire market will continue to genuflect in front of the God of Free, as in free content, as in Google, despite the obvious disconnect between what you pay for and what you get. And then maybe someone, somewhere, will wonder why free content and free services dont really get us what we want in life, or business, or anything else.
But that last comment was almost optimistic, which is not what this column is supposed to be about. So its time to sign off and watch how the year unfolds. Good luck in 2008 one and all.

A U.S. judge sided with a bond insurer in a closely watched case over representation and warranty putbacks in residential mortgage backed securities.
U.S. District Judge Jed Rakoff ruled that Flagstar Bancorp violated agreements with Assured Guaranty Municipal to follow its own underwriting guidelines in making home equity lines of credit. He ordered Flagstar to reimburse $90 million that Assured paid out when home equity loans underlying two mortgage backed securities defaulted.
"The court finds that the loans underlying the trusts here at issue pervasively breached Flagstar's contractual representations and warranties," Rakoff said in an opinion filed Tuesday.
The judge also awarded Assured interest and attorneys fees to be determined, according to statements released by the two companies.
Assured President and chief executive Dominic Frederico said Rakoff's decision "establishes clear liability as it relates to originators and securitizers of RMBS transactions."
Frederico said the case was the first related to RMBS rep and warranty putbacks that has come to a final court ruling.
"His decision establishes clear liability as it relates to originators and securitizers of RMBS transactions and strengthens Assured Guaranty's resolve to seek full recovery from R&W providers that refuse to recognize this liability," the CEO added.
Flagstar said it "strongly disagrees" with the court's ruling and intends to "vigorously contest" the outcome on appeal.

You should always use pet shampoos formulated to moisturize and condition – human shampoos are designed for humans and can leave your pet's skin dry and irritated. Ultimately, you want a shampoo and conditioner that gently cleans without stripping your pet's coat of it's natural oils. Our pet shampoos are made with natural ingredients, essential oils and are pH balanced for your dogs coat.

According to recent research by Toolbox.com, IT professionals consume more social media content at a higher rate than either editorial or vendor content (question to Toolbox: is there a blurry line between these classifications?). Toolbox states: 'Respondents consumed social media
at a rate of 5.86 hours per week, versus 3.81 for editorial content
and 3.41 for vendor content.'
Key takeaway from this data would be if you are not currently using blogs and other social media to interact with this audience, it might not be a bad time to start. As an example, if you put out press releases to announce new products and iterations, you can back this up with more detailed insight on 'how' and 'why' these changes occurred. Google is a master of this and in fact use blogs as the primary vehicle for external communications. Another example that came up this week is using social media to uncover the stories buried in typical marketing case studies. In this case it may be going into some depth on the technical implementation, technologies and steps involved in reaching those headline ROI figures that are often called out.
The study also suggests that 'More than 55% of IT professionals use social media to make better decisions based on insights from like-minded professionals.' If you are a social media practitioner in the B2B space, you are probably accustomed to the struggle of getting IT professionals to participate. This statistic could help you convince management on the development side of the business that it's worth incentivizing participation in social media: you may see a profound impact on your bottom line.

I love my Harley Quinn dress!
I love this dress! I picked the Harley Quinn dress and it fits just perfect. I'm 5'3 and weigh 106lbs. I was so happy when I tried it on and excited about it. It came earlier than expected which was great. I plan to buy another dress from the selection cause of how awesome this one turned out. :)

Very Happy :)
This dress is very nice.I am very satisfied and happy with this dress.Fitting is perfect as i expected.Looks more preety than the picture....
Love it!
I LOVE this dress! I wore it during the summer months, but as it gets cold I can totally wear it as a long shirt over jeans and pants and it looks fantastic. I wear it with a black or beige bra and you can't see through it. It's very flattering, but it still looks classy. Will probably buy more colors. Thank you!

Jackson Trail is a 3.5 mile moderately trafficked out and back trail located near Covington, Virginia that features beautiful wild flowers and is rated as moderate. The trail is primarily used for hiking, walking, nature trips, and birding and is best used from February until November. Dogs are also able to use this trail but must be kept on leash.

The parking area is about 1 miles in on an unmarked gravel road (Forest Service right-of-way, but unmarked) so it's not at all obvious. Coordinates for the parking area are N37.91345, W80.00401. The gravel road leading in leaves Morris Hill Road about 100 yds SSW of Laurel Mtn Rd (private). The trail is through mixed hardwoods-pine forest with a heath understory and is easy to follow until you connect with Oliver Mtn Trail the next section of which is a little obscure heading west.
Chris D.
Pretty area. There is some overgrowth but the forest is currently maintaining trails in the area so it's sure to improve in the coming weeks and months. Starting from the "parking lot" (more of a gravel parking circle), it's a steady/ hard climb. If you stick with it (trails connects to Oliver Mountain Trail) you'll be rewarded with mountains views, lake and views of the dam. All in all, it's pretty. It was worth the hike.

In many ways, football is a simple game: the team that scores the most goals wins. Yet in every single match, there are intriguing statistical sub-plots that help make the beautiful game the fascinating spectacle that it is. That's why, each week, FIFA.com takes a look at the numbers behind the results.
South America dominates this week's review thanks to Ronaldo's goalscoring return, Lisandro Lopez's UEFA Champions League exploits and Estudiantes's home record, but there is also room for a look at Boubacar Sanogo's bad luck and Jose Mourinho's record against Sir Alex Ferguson.
matches and almost two years had passed since Estudiantes de La Plata's last home league defeat when Dario Ocampo brought this remarkable run to an end on Saturday. Not since Boca Juniors emerged with all three points on 10 March 2007 had Los Pincharratas suffered a domestic reverse at the Estadio Unico Ciudad de La Plata, with their only home loss during this period having come against Internacional in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana 2008 final. Velez Sarsfield were the team to bring this long unblemished sequence to a shuddering halt, with Ocampo's decisive 36th-minute strike securing a win that lifted El Fortin to within a point of leaders Lanus, and left Estudiantes languishing third from bottom.
months after notching what many feared would be the final goal of a glorious career, Ronaldo returned to scoring ways in typically dramatic fashion on Sunday. The three-time former FIFA World Player of the Year, who was making only his second substitute appearance since battling back from a career-threatening knee injury, defied the doubters once again by popping up in the second minute of injury time to earn Corinthians a 1-1 draw with arch-rivals Palmeiras. A capacity crowd of 45,000 was inside the Prudentao stadium to watch the 32-year-old celebrate his first goal since 13 January 2008, when he was on target in AC Milan's 5-2 win over Napoli. Now the man whose 15 FIFA World Cup™ strikes make him the competition's all-time leading goalscorer has targeted a return to the Brazil fold, insisting: "This is just the beginning."
showdowns have taken place between Sir Alex Ferguson and Jose Mourinho during the careers of these managerial titans and, ahead of tonight's rematch, the Manchester United manager has emerged triumphant on just one occasion. While Fergie will be desperate to put this record straight, Mourinho's unshakeable self-confidence is sure to be boosted by the memory of the six wins and six draws he has racked up against the Red Devils during his spells in charge of Porto, Chelsea and now Inter Milan. Although Inter begin this evening's match as underdogs against a side unbeaten in their last 20 matches in Europe's elite club competition, Mourinho will also be aware that the last four Champions League winners - Porto, Liverpool, Barcelona and AC Milan - have fallen at this exact stage of the tournament the season after lifting the trophy.
shots against the woodwork in a goalless draw would seem unlucky enough, but when those efforts are by the same player, against the same post, in the exact same location, the misfortune becomes difficult to believe. "Ridiculous" was how Hoffenheim's Boubacar Sanogo described his fate after he had struck the base of the left-hand post on three separate occasions during the German title hopefuls' stalemate with Werder Bremen. The feat, which was without precedent in the Bundesliga, made the Ivorian a reluctant record-breaker, and was all the more ironic for the fact that he only recently joined Hoffenheim on loan - from Bremen! Sanogo's bad luck certainly contributed to an unlikely scoreline, with the corresponding fixture earlier this season having ended 5-4 in Werder's favour.
Champions League goals have established Lisandro Lopez among the tournament's top scorers, one behind Messrs Gerrard and Klose, and given the Porto striker the chance to take his place in history. In the European Cup's 54-year history, no Argentinian has ever finished as its leading marksman, with Alfredo Di Stefano only topping the competition's scoring charts after he had become a Spanish international. Indeed, the last Argentinian to finish as top scorer in a European competition was Mario Kempes, who fired Valencia to glory in the 1979/80 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup. Fellow countryman Pedro Manfredini had blazed a trail by this point, twice finishing top scorer in the UEFA Cup with Roma in 1960/61 and 1962/63. Now the task of conquering Europe's top club competition falls to Lisandro and another auspicious contender, Lionel Messi.
