Sirius – 91, XM – 91
The Opening Tip
- The Blue Devils are ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll and No. 1 in the USA Today Coaches Poll. Duke is 113-16 all-time when ranked No. 2 in the AP Poll.
- The Blue Devils have been ranked in the AP Top 10 for 108 consecutive weeks and in the top five for 13 consecutive weeks.
- Duke is playing its 200th straight game as a top-10 team in the AP poll. Duke is 167-32 in that span.
- Duke is 12-0 in Cameron Indoor Stadium this season. Duke has won its first 12 games at home in five of the last six seasons.
- Duke is one of only two teams in the country ranked in the top five in the AP and Coaches polls, the NCAA RPI and SOS rankings.
The Last Time Out
- Mason Plumlee hit 3-of-4 free throws in the final 47 seconds to overcome a 61-59 deficit and lift Duke past Boston College, 62-61, in Chestnut Hill, Mass., Sunday. Plumlee finished with 19 points and 10 rebounds.
- Duke trailed 61-56 with 2:15 remaining in the game, but Quinn Cook hit a three-pointer with under two minutes to play that put Duke within two points.
- Plumlee grabbed two rebounds in the final minute – including one offensive rebound – and was fouled by Boston College on both.
- Seth Curry scored 18 points on 6-of-12 shooting. Both he and Plumlee played a team-high 38 minutes in the game.
Numbers Game
- Duke, ranked No. 2 in the latest AP Poll, has been ranked in the top 10 of the poll 108 consecutive weeks. The last time Duke was not ranked in the top 10 was Nov. 19, 2007.
- Duke is one of only two teams in the top five in the Associated Press Poll (No. 4), Coaches Poll (No. 4), NCAA RPI (No. 1) and Strength of Schedule index (No. 2). Miami is the only other team in the country in the top five in all four.
- Duke is 5-0 in games that are within one possession inside the final three minutes of the game. Duke has defeated No. 3 Kentucky (75-68), No. 2 Louisville (76-71), No. 4 Ohio State (73-68), Wake Forest (75-70) and Boston College (62-61) in those games, four of which have been on the road or at neutral sites.
- Duke leads the ACC in three-point percentage (.409) and three-point field goals per game (7.7 3pg.). The .409 clip would rank as the third-best in school history.
- Head coach Mike Krzyzewski is just one win shy of tying Adolph Rupp for the most career victories at one school. Krzyzewski is 875-234 (.789) all-time as Duke's head coach.
- Duke owns a 1.42:1 assist-to-turnover ratio, which would best the school record of 1.32:1 set by the 2000-01 NCAA Championship team.
- Seth Curry averages 16.0 points and 3.6 made three-pointers per game in his career against North Carolina. He shot .529 (18-for-34) from three-point range in those five meetings and hit multiple three-pointers in every game. Curry has scored in double figures in all five meetings against the Tar Heels with two 20-point games.
- Duke has four players shooting over 40.0 percent from three-point range: Ryan Kelly (.521, 25-of-48), Quinn Cook (.422, 38-of-90) Seth Curry (.419, 57-of-136) and Rasheed Sulaimon (.404, 36-of-89). The only time in school history Duke had three players shoot .400 or better from three-point range (minimum 25 made 3-pointers) was in the 1991-92 season (Christian Laettner, Bobby Hurley, Thomas Hill).
- With 11.8 points, 6.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game, Quinn Cook is attempting to join Dick Groat (1952), Jason Williams (2000, 2001) and Chris Duhon (2004) as the only Duke players to average at least 10.0 points, 6.0 assists and 4.0 rebounds per game.
- With 18.2 points and 10.7 rebounds per game, Mason Plumlee is one of 14 players in the country averaging a double-double.
Duke-North Carolina Series History
- Duke and North Carolina have met 234 times with North Carolina holding a 132-102 lead in the series. Duke is 37-37 against North Carolina under head coach Mike Krzyzewski.
- The series began on Jan. 24, 1920 and is the third most played series in Duke basketball history. North Carolina won the first meeting 36-25.

About the Library Project
The Library Project is an important part of Google's efforts to make it easier to find information -- in this case, the information found in print books. By partnering with libraries to digitize books from their collections, we aim to build a searchable catalog of the world's books online. The Library Project makes it possible for users to search on Google through millions of books written in many different languages, including books that are rare, out of print, or generally unavailable outside of the library system.
If a book is determined to be in the public domain, Google will make it available for full view. You'll be able read the book from start to finish. Otherwise, you'll still be able to search through the text of the book, but Google Books will only display a few snippets to show you where your search term appears, along with a few sentences of context. If the book appears to be useful to you, you can find a print copy by using the retailer or library links provided.
The Library Project makes Google Books even more useful for users, as well as providing valuable benefits to the libraries we're working with.
About our library partners
We're currently working with many libraries to include their collections in Google Books. You can find profiles of some of our library partners on the Google Books Library Partner page.
Libraries receive a digital copy of every book we scan from their respective collections to preserve and, where copyright law allows, to make available to their patrons.
Many of the libraries we work with have publicly displayed their contracts, which show the full scope of their work with Google. These include: the University of Michigan, the University of California, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, and the University of Texas at Austin. Though not all of the library contracts have been made public, we can say that all of them are non-exclusive, meaning that all of our library partners are free to continue their own scanning projects or work with others while they work with Google to digitize their books.
How library book scanning works
Google has developed innovative technology to scan the contents of books without harming them. In addition, we won't scan any book that we or our library partners deem too fragile, and once we've scanned a book, it is promptly returned to the library collection.
Viewing Library Project books
For each of the books scanned from our partner libraries, we show you basic information, like you'd see in a library catalog. If a book is determined to be in the public domain, we'll show you the full text of the book, so you can page through the book from start to finish. Otherwise, we'll show just a few snippets — sentences of your search term in context.
Please take a look at these examples to see how books are displayed in Google Books.
- Full View: Naturalis historiae by Pliny (the Elder), 1668
- Limited Preview: Castle by David Macaulay
- Snippet View: A History of Psychology by Erwin Allen Esper
- No Preview Available: A Dictionary of Zoology edited by Michael Allaby
In all cases, Google provides links that lead directly to online bookstores where you can buy the book, as well as a "Find in a library" link to help you locate a copy in a local library. (You may need to click the "Get this book in print" link to see this list.) If there is a downloadable electronic copy available, you'll see an "EBOOK" button indicating that you can either purchase it or acquire it for free.
Searching Google Books
For typical searches, querying with a keyword will provide a list of relevant books. Google Books will match the keyword against the book's bibliographic information (e.g., title, author, etc.) as well as its full text. For a more precise search, such as when you only want to find books with titles that match your keywords, visit the Advanced Search page and enter what you're searching for in the appropriate field (title, author, date, etc.). After clicking Google Search, you'll see a page with your results.
Finding books in libraries
If you're interested in a book you find on Google Books, you may be able to find a copy in a local library. Click the "Find this book in a library" link to visit OCLC WorldCat ("world catalog"), where you can enter your location and find the closest library that has the book.
The link may be listed under "Get this book in print" or, for books with limited identifying information (such as no ISBN), the link may not be present.
Linking to individual titles on Google Books
Sometimes linking to the search results page for an author or title on Google Books isn't enough -- you want to link to a specific book or perhaps even a specific edition of a book. To help you with this, you can click the chain icon from within a book you're viewing to generate a link that you can share with others.
Google Books can also retrieve books based on International Standard Book Numbers (ISBNs), Library of Congress Control Numbers (LCCNs), and Online Computer Library Center (OCLC) record numbers. Most books published after about 1970 have ISBNs. To find a book's ISBN, search for it on Google Books and look on its "About this Book" page. For older books you may need to rely on LCCN or OCLC records.
For example, perhaps you want to link to The Prince by Machiavelli. While the book was originally published in 1532, the edition you want to link to was printed in 1988 and has an ISBN of 0521349931. You can search directly for an ISBN by visiting the following URL:
Similarly, you can find books by inserting the LCCN or OCLC number into the appropriate URL:
Identifier Example URL ISBN
For some books, Google also provides the ability to link to specific pages of the book. (If the specific page cannot be found, the link will simply go to the "About this book" page.) Add the appropriate parameter to the book URL, as per the examples below:
How to claim books that were scanned for the Library Project
If you hold the rights to a book that was scanned as part of the Library Project, you're welcome to transfer it to the Partner Program. A portion of pages will become browsable to users and you'll be able to add a link to your own website. Send your transfer request to our support team.
How much more of my book will be viewable if I add it to my Partner Program account?
In order to provide a positive browsing experience on Google Books, we currently ask that at least 20% of the book be browsable. You're welcome to make your book fully browsable if you wish, and can even enable free PDF downloads.
Can I get a PDF of the scanned book?
We're unable to accommodate manual requests for our scanned files. However, if you're willing to add the book to your Partner Program account and make it both 100% browsable and available for download to all users, you can acquire the PDF by visiting your book's page on Google Books.
Can I sell a digital edition of my book on Google Play using the scanned file?
Our scanned files aren't always of sufficiently high quality to offer for sale to Google Play users. We recommend that you send us a clean digital file (in PDF or EPUB format) or a physical copy of your book.
How long will it take for the book to go live?
It may take up to a week for the books to be associated with your account and another two weeks for them to be live on Google Books. You can track their status from the Book Catalog page of your account. If the books are not live after that period, please contact us.
Can I replace a scanned file with a higher quality copy?
Due to technical constraints with our system, we're unable to modify or overwrite scanned files. If you anticipate being able to send us a digital file or a physical copy, we recommend that you wait until you can directly submit your book to us. The library scan will still be findable in Google Books along with the scan you submit.
Can you scan my book?
If you would like to add a preview of your book to Google Books but you don't have a copy and it hasn't yet been scanned by Google, you can request that we scan it from one of our partner libraries. We will check to see if the book is held by a scanning partner, and if so, we'll ask the library if it's available for scanning. As with all books digitized by Google as part of the Library Project, the source library can choose to download a copy of the scanned work.
Exclude your books from the Library Project
If you'd like to exclude your book from being scanned for the Library Project or remove the search option for a book that's already been scanned, let us know. You'll need to provide us with a small amount of information about yourself as well as a list of books you don't want to be searchable on Google Books. Unless you specify otherwise, we'll use your information only to verify that you are indeed the owner of those particular books. Please see our privacy policy for more details.
Exclude books from library scanning
For in-copyright books scanned through the Library Project, users can preview only bibliographic information and a few short sentences of text around a search term, similar to what might be shown in a book review. Google Books never shows full pages of these books.
To prevent your books and journals from being scanned at libraries, please provide us with bibliographic information and certify that you are the owner.
If you do not have a Google Books Partner Program account, please visit this page to submit the necessary information for the removal of your books.
If you're a member of the Google Books Partner Program, you can do this by signing in to your account and adding the books you wish to exclude to a separate template. (You don't need to submit any content files for these books.) Once this is done, contact us with the name of the template.
An alternative to opting your book out of the Library Project is to claim the book, which adds it to your partner account. This gives you greater control over how it appears on Google Books -- for example, you can edit its metadata, enable it for preview, or even make it fully viewable. Learn more about claiming books that were scanned for the Library Project.

It's been almost one year since the historic collapse of the VelocityShares Daily 2X VIX Short-Term ETN (TVIX). Within a matter of days, TVIX lost around 60% in value, wiping out traders who were making bullish bets on the VIX.
What went wrong?
Besides a depressed VIX taking down TVIX, its problems were stoked when its issuer, Credit Suisse, stopped creating shares. This almost immediately triggered further instability in the note's share price.
Is another blow-up in the ETN market possible?
ETNs Are Not ETFs
Although ETNs and ETFs may resemble each other, they are far from the same.
Shareholders in an ETF have a claim on the assets, whereas ETNs are unsecured debt obligations. That means if the institution who issued the ETN goes bust, it's likely the ETN will follow suit. This is what's referred to as "credit risk."
What about the comparisons of ETNs to traditional bonds?
Unlike bonds, ETNs do not generally distribute any interest payments to investors.
Instead, the issuer promises to pay the ETN owner an amount that's determined by the performance of the underlying index or benchmark on the ETN's maturity date (usually two or three decades from issuance), minus any specified fees. As a result, the money invested in ETNs gives issuers a cheap source of capital, since they don't have to pay noteholders for assuming credit risk.
No wonder financial institutions prefer raising capital via ETNs versus traditional bonds!
Other Risks
ETN credit risk is just the beginning of potential shareholder risks.
Before investing in an ETN, look carefully at the prospectus, especially check for any mention of "conflicts of interest."
You'll be shocked by what you find. For instance, certain ETN sponsors may be allowed to engage in practices that run counter to the best interests of shareholders, including allowing outsiders to borrow and even short ETN shares.
Think twice before investing in an ETN that permits this sort of behavior.
Liquidity risk is another problem. If an ETN issuer decides to delist the note, market liquidity ahead of the delisting can dry up quickly.
In July 2012, FINRA issued an alert about ETNs, warning about their many dangers. For financial professionals, erring on the side of safety is always a wise choice.
In practice, this would mean deliberately avoiding ETNs in the same investment categories for which ETFs are readily available.
For instance, the $5.45 billion invested in the JPMorgan Alerian MLP Index ETN (AMJ) looks especially susceptible, given the questions surrounding JPMorgan's shaky risk management practices. (See the $6.2 billion "London Whale" trade.)
Investors can get the same exposure to the MLP market via the ALPS Alerian MLP ETF (AMLP), minus the credit risk. Apparently, the $5.45 billion invested in AMJ hasn't received the memo. There are numerous other examples of where ETFs cover the same asset classes as ETNs.
I believe another ETN meltdown isn't just possible, but inevitable.
Today, five of the largest ETN providers are based in Europe. And in case nobody's bothered to tell you, Europe's credit crisis isn't over.
This sets up conditions for a perfect storm in which history can repeat itself — with plenty of ETN turbulence. Stay ahead of the crowd by avoiding trouble.

Raising the Bar for Home Performance
A version of this article appears in the March/April 2011 issue of Home Energy Magazine.
March 06, 2011
New standardized work specifications aim to eliminate work defects and transform the retrofit industry.
For the last 30 years, I have dedicated my life to working with the people who design, build, retrofit, and rehab buildings. Most of these people want to do high-quality work, and yet, year after year, we in the home performance industry find ourselves facing the same issues: poorly sealed, drafty homes; rooms that feel too hot or too cold because insulation or ductwork wasn't installed right; even fire hazards created by improper wiring. In fact, we find that when the average home performance contractor leaves a house, a full 25% of the home's problems have not been addressed.

Just 30 miles from Salt Lake, Park City is a village of only 7500 residents; but you can imagine how the population swells with Winter/Summer holiday visitors. That means hundreds of holiday rental choices, so you can be sure to meet every need and whim on your wish list. Romantic ski chalet for two? Group golfing or mountain fishing escape? Fireplace. Jacuzzi. Door-to-door ski shuttle? Home rentals range from mountain chalets to luxury condos and multi-level townhomes in Park City's Old Town.
Park City manages to mix casual Western with elegant resort, a blend that has brought the mountain village increasing popularity. Hosting the 2002 Winter Olympics and the annual Sundance Film Festival certainly boosted awareness of this mountain haven. There's an endless roster of activities for village visitors, as well as a nice blend of sophisticated and casual dining, nightlife and shopping. Colorful storefronts line the few blocks along Main Street that date to the 19th-century mining era, and you'll notice no shortage of saloons and lively lounges for nights on the town.
"The greatest snow on earth" - that IS what Utah's license plates pronounce! Be they downhill racers or cross-country enthusiasts, snowboarders and skiers head to the spectacular ski terrain surrounding Park City. The Olympic Park offers free admission and year-round camps, training, rides and shows. Family-friendly programs thrive with ski lessons and kid activities, and every age enjoys the three separate ski areas - Park City Mountain, Deer Valley, and The Canyons.Summer is also a terrific time to visit, when mountain air golfing, hiking and water activities are popular. You can even catch one of the ski lifts to access hiking and biking trails through wildflower fields and ever-changing landscapes. Sports shops and adventure guides offer everything from mountain bike rentals and fly fishing escapades to river rafting and Alpine rides.
After a day outdoors, rest and replenish at Deer Valley Resort's Royal Street Café, where summer and winter menus satisfy the heartiest appetites. Down in the village, you need only wander along Main Street until one of the outdoor cafes or western-style bistros bids you welcome. From Thai and Italian to Middle Eastern and French cuisine, you'll be tempted to explore many of the sophisticated choices.
There's a home or condo rental to meet every budget and space requirement. You'll enjoy home-style living with plenty of room for your winter or summer gear, and the kitchen and laundry facilities to make life a little easier.

Stanczyk, put together a couple of pieces to make a NEW and useful Polish Genealogy database. First off, my email box had a weekly email from Ancestry.com. This week's Weekly Discovery is a boon for Polish Genealogists …
U.S. and Poland, Catholic Parish Marriage Index, Polish Genealogical Society of America,
Ok, the above link takes you to Ancestry's newest database index (http://search.ancestry.com/search/db.aspx?dbid=70048&enc=1) . Which as the Link Name suggests is a Polish Catholic Parish Marriage Index. I was excited until I discovered that it was really just a re-issue of the PGSA.org 's database: http://www.pgsa.org/CzuchMarAll.php . So if you are not a subscriber to Ancestry, you could just go to PGSA and use their database and get the same results. The PGSA even gives an LDS Microfilm #. So Stanczyk took note of an Anna Eliasz marrying Leon Zielinski in 1910 and the LDS MF#: 1578072 . I made a vow to look that record up in the LDS microfilm. So I was in the LDS Library Catalog verifying the microfilm # was correct and LO and BEHOLD (why is it always LO and BEHOLD — and not just BEHOLD), the Library Catalog says the images are online!!! They even provided a link:
Now thankfully the database did specify 1910 and that the church was St. Stanislaus Kostka and even the Page# 204 was helpful. I used those pieces of info and the Family Search link to go to their web page:
- Illinois, Chicago, Catholic Church Records, 1833-1925
I selected the St. Stanislaus Kostka (Chicago) to go to the web page:
- Illinois, Chicago, Catholic Church Records, 1833-1925 St. Stanislaus Kostka (Chicago)
From there, I picked Marriages, 1910-1915 (you need a free login to use their databases) and browsed the images until I got to page# 204 (which was actually image # 109 of 897) and on the left hand page was Leon Zielinski & at the bottom Anna Eliasz marriage record from the church. I got the actual date and parent names (including mother's maiden name). See below …
I am not certain that Anna Eliasz is a relative or not because it did not provide the parish where Anna was born (and I seriously doubt Anna was born in Chicago in 1882). Her mother's maiden gives me hope as that name does appear in my ancestral villages, so now I will have to find an Anna Eliasz birth record (or not) in Biechow/Pacanow parishes with parents Jan Eliasz & Mary Jurek.
The point of today's article is that by joining the index in PGSA.org (or Ancestry.com) and using the index data with the browseable images from FamilySearch.org I was able to pull a new Church Parish record quite easily without leaving my house. It is the combination of the two resources from two separate websites that make a new and very useful tool. What do you think?
If you have Chicago ancestors (and in particular Polish ones) then you have an early Christmas or Chanukah Present. Drop me a comment of thanks, will ya?
Merry Christmas & Happy Chanukah and just in case, Happy Holidays to the rest of my readers.

I'm thinking I would sit out if I were Clowney. He has absolutely nothing to gain and everything to lose by playing. Sit out, he's the sure-fire #1 overall next year. Play next year, and risk an injury, maybe even one like his teammate Lattimore, and not be the #1 overall pick.
The NFL is a business and can conduct itselft however it chooses. And, I can understand their stance on the age/eligibility minimums. But, it doesn't sit right with me morally. If you're old enough to fight for your country, you should be old enough to make a living, right? And, the NFL has had the luxury of a free, no-risk farm system in the NCAA. A system which does little to take care of cases like Lattimore's.
It's a valid discussion.

Third death in listeria outbreak
A NSW man has been confirmed as the third fatality in Australia's largest outbreak of listeria.
The death of the 68-year-old man late last month was confirmed by Victoria's acting chief health officer as being linked to the outbreak at Jindi, one of the nation's biggest cheese companies.
The outbreak, which has been traced to the company's factory in Gippsland, Victoria, has been linked to the deaths of an 84-year-old Victorian man and a 44-year-old Tasmanian man.
Twenty-six cases have been identified so far, including a NSW woman who had a miscarriage.
Victoria's Department of Health maintains it acted promptly to contain the outbreak, which came to the attention of authorities in mid-December and led to the recall of more than 100 cheese products, but it has warned there could be more cases and further fatalities.
''I'm confident the intervention that has been put in place with terrific co-operation from Jindi is absolutely appropriate and is the best possible,'' said the acting chief health officer, Michael Ackland. ''Unfortunately because of the 70-day incubation period for listeria, there will almost certainly be people who have consumed cheese prior to the recall who may still get sick … that could go on for another couple of months.''
Listeria can cause illness or death in the elderly and people with low immune systems, and miscarriage and neonatal infection in pregnant women, but many healthy people show no symptoms.
The confirmation of a third death comes as Australian food retailers, including Coles and Woolworths, prepare to restock shelves with Jindi products later this week.
Jindi Cheese recalled batches of brie and camembert on December 19 after the first cases were identified. On January 18, the company extended the recall to all batches it manufactured up to January 6, including other brands such as Wattle Valley and Coles Finest.
Dr Ackland said the listeria outbreak was the largest the nation had suffered and one of the most complex. He described the process of tracking the outbreak to Jindi as ''an important piece of investigative work'', which involved obtaining food histories from victims and intelligence from OzFoodNet, the federal food diseases surveillance unit, as well as bacterial DNA tests to determine the strain of listeria.
Since the national recall, the same listeria strain has been found in victim samples, some recalled Jindi cheese lines and at the factory.
Dr Ackland said he had full confidence the Jindi products going back on shop shelves this week and manufactured on or after January 7 were ''absolutely as safe as can be for human consumption''.
On January 7, Jindi's French-owned parent company, Lactalis - which bought the gourmet cheese maker from Menora Foods in November for an estimated $20 million - voluntarily committed to a quality assurance program that ''significantly cranks up'' its existing food safety standards and has satisfied Victoria's chief health officer.
Dr Ackland added that there was ''no suggestion whatsoever'' that Jindi had not been complying with Dairy Food Safety Victoria's stringent food safety regulations.
''The problem with listeria is it is ubiquitous - it's all over the place and from time to time it does pop up, and it loves soft cheese,'' he said.
Investigations are continuing to determine how the listeria came to resist the usual safety protocols and contaminate the Jindi products.
Jindi's chief executive, Franck Beaurain, has not returned telephone calls from Fairfax Media for more than a week.

Advice for Passing Comptia Network+ Exam
Now I know this exam isn't the most highly regarded exam for networking, it is basically an entrance exam to networking, but please don't take it lightly, Networking can be an intimidating subject. Network+ is an exam that is 85 questions long, 5 scenarios (performance based), some drag and drop, and 80 or so multiple choice questions. I finished the exam with 15 minutes left, they give you 90 minutes, and I scored 827/900 which is about 92%.
Here are the test details.
|Test Details
|Number of questions
|Maximum of 100 questions
|Type of questions
|Multiple choice and performance-based
|Length of test
|90 minutes
|Passing score
|720 (on a scale of 100-900)
|Recommended experience
|CompTIA A+ certification and nine months networking experience
|English, Japanese, German, Simplified Chinese, Korean, Spanish, Traditional Chinese
|Exam codes
JK0-019 (for CompTIA Academy Partners only)
If you noticed I bolded "performance-based", some might ask what performance based questions are:
Performance-based questions require the candidate to perform a task or solve a problem in simulated IT environments. For each performance-based question, the exam prompts the candidate to perform a specific task or solve a specific problem. A simulated environment is then launched in which the candidate completes the required steps.
Each question is designed around real-world computer scenarios that will test a candidate's skills and knowledge. Depending on the nature of the exam and the exam question, the simulated environments may include different aspects of IT infrastructure, such as command prompts, Windows or networking environments.
What did I use to pass?
I used the CompTIA Network+ Training Kit (Exam N10-005) as well as CBT Nuggets (thanks to my company EPIC!) I highly recommend both resources… make sure you use the practice exam in the book, if you can consistently score 90% or higher you should be ready for the exam.
With all this in mind, take your time, study hard, and have some real world experience. Don't be too nervous either, you will do fine!
Good Luck!

New Microsoft CEO Named
I was wondering when the new CEO would be crowned, well now it's official. Satya Nadella will be the 3rd CEO to take the reigns in 39 years.
Nadella is credited as a key leader in moving the company towards cloud services, around products including Bing, Xbox and Microsoft Office. His time at MS oversaw a period of huge growth for Microsoft Business Services, too, growing that segment of the business from a $1.5 billion slice of pie to a $5 billion segment in just five years' time.
In an email to Microsoft employees published by the company, Steve Ballmer announced the news and said he was "pumped about the future of Microsoft" (typical Ballmer, we'll miss you big guy). He praises Nadella's technical and business skills, and gets surface-level emotional about Microsoft's big, bold moves.
Below Bill Gates welcomes Nadella as Microsoft CEO. source techcrunch
Do you think this new CEO will steer the ship in a different direction that Microsoft has currently gone? Maybe he will bring the "real" start button back! Doubt that, either way, we wish him luck!
3D Printing… A House?!
Apparently a 3D printing robot can construct a house in 24 hours?
Since 2008, Professor Behrokh Khoshnevis has led a research team in the creation and development of a new layered fabrication technology using 3D printing called Contour Crafting. Instead of using thermoplastics, a common material used in 3D printing, the robot applies layer after layer of concrete to construct straight and curved walls, as well as domes.
The process involves a giant robot with a hanging nozzle and a flexible arm on a gantry-type crane — the whole rig is known as a "contour crafter" — above the foundation. The contour crafter then proceeds to layer concrete based on a computer-generated pattern. The layers eventually take shape into walls, embedded with all the necessary conduits and passages for electricity, plumbing and air conditioning.
Now this is just the foundation, but made out of concrete that's pretty awesome… I mean we will still need workers to finish off everything else in the house including fixtures, roof, etc, but this would still be a huge time saver… I wonder what you would pay for that premium build?
Go here to read the rest.
iOS Version of Gears of War?!
Nope, did I have you fooled? Well I am sorry, but Microsoft is the one your should be mad at. It's not like Gears of War was coming anytime soon to an Apple product, but it was up to EPIC, now it's not.
If you had ever hoped to see Gears of War show up for your Mac or iPad, it's pretty safe to assume it's never going to happen. On Monday Microsoft Studios confirmed it has acquired the game series from developer Epic Games, according to GamesIndustry International.
Gears of War is the popular third-person action game franchise developed for Xbox 360 and Microsoft Windows. It's spawned sequels and expansion packs. The game is a futuristic shooter in which the troops of an elite squad of soldiers battles against a subterranean alien enemy.
So as you see, all you Apple fans out there will never see ports of all the great games from EPIC Mega Games. From here on in, Microsoft is going to use this franchise to drive Xbox sales, just like it did in the past, and I for one am OK with that.
Skydrive will become OneDrive
Due to litigation and let's face it, OneDrive fits their mantra better. One place to store all your files and documents regardless of what device you are using.
Microsoft announced back in July of the impending name change due to litigation against them by British Sky Broadcasting Group (BSkyB), who successfully claimed that SkyDrive infringed on the "Sky" trademark.
Since the announcement they have been doing a lot of work behind the scenes to make OneDrive better than ever. The official release date is still pending, but I will let you know when I hear something.
Current users will not be affected, i will just roll out to devices and PC eventually.

Intel's New Haswell Processors
Sometime in the second quarter of 2014. They will also start shipping its Z97 and H97 chipsets in April so partners such as ASUS and Gigabyte can design motherboards around them.
According to Digitimes, May is when the new parts will hit the retail channel. That will include 20 new processors, including the Core i7 4790, Core i5 4690, Core i3 4360, Pentium G3450, and Celeron G1840. Intel will also launch some low power CPUs, such as the Core i7 4790S, Core i5 4590S, and Core i3 4150T.
Is it worth the wait for these new processors? I mean Haswell is quite the amazing chipset in itself… personally I think I will wait till motherboards have Android built in, picture in picture PC and Android sounds pretty awesome!

Medicinally, they have been used for a variety of pain-related conditions, including arthritis, gout, back pain and tendon injuries. It is often said that tart cherries have more medicinal value than sweet cherries.
What Are Cherries Used for Today?
Tart cherries contain relatively high levels of substances known as anthocynanins, also found in bilberry , cranberry and other foods. Anthocyanins are antioxidants , and most health claims for cherries are based on this fact. However, the case that antioxidants provide health benefits has become weaker rather than stronger in recent years, and, therefore, merely finding antioxidant content in cherries is inadequate to show benefit. Only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can actually provide evidence of efficacy, and for cherries, only one smal study of this type has been reported.
In this study, fourteen male athletes were given either tart cherry juice (12 oz) or placebo twice daily, and then performed intensive arm exercises. 1 The results of this trial indicated that use of cherry juice reduced pain and strength loss caused by the excessive exercise. Based on this, it has been suggested that cherry juice might be helpful for athletes in training by enhancing recovery from heavy exercise, due to its antioxidant actions. However, this was a very small study, and more research would be necessary to actually document benefit. Note that other antioxidants have failed to prove helpful for this purpose.
Cherries are also claimed to be helpful for gout , based primarily on a single "scientific" study performed in the 1950s. 2 In fact, however, this study was far too poorly designed to prove anything at all, because it did not utilize a placebo group. (For information on why a placebo group is essential, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-Blind Studies? ) A much more recent study did find some evidence that cherry consumption might lower levels of urate in the blood. 3 Although high levels of urate are associated with gout, we can not conclude that cherries can directly benefit gout based on this trial. Another larger study did assess direct benefits of cherry on gout when the study assessed the risk of recurrent gout attacks in 633 people using cherries or cherry extract two days prior to a gout attack. Participants taking cherries or cherry extract had 35% lower risk of gout attacks than when they did not use cherries or extract. Further, the addition of cherry consumption with allopurinol treatment reduced the risk of gout attacks by 75% when compared to using only one of either treatment. 5 . Both trials did have had some design issues that may reduce reliability.
One animal study hints that the anthocyanins in tart cherries may have general pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory properties. 4
For use in reducing pain after intensive exercise, a dose of 12 ounces of cherry juice twice daily has been tested in the tiny study noted earlier.
A typical dosage recommendation for gout is a 1/2 pound of whole cherries daily.
Safety Issues
As a widely consumed food, cherries are presumed to have a high level of safety. However, maximum safe doses in pregnant or nursing women, young children, or people with severe liver or kidney disease have not been determined.

|Moral :
|When Riker asks the computer where Worf is, it replies that he has beamed over to the Klingon ship. Yet Worf removed his combadge before leaving, and we've seen many times (eg "Power Play") that the computer tracks people purely by where their badge is. The computer should have said that Worf was in his quarters.
|Great Moment :
|Worf killing Duras. I never thought the writers would let him go through with it!
|Body Count :
|Duras, K'Ehleyr and K'mpec, plus two unnamed Klingons killed by the bomb.
|Factoid :
|This was the first episode to feature the Klingon Vor'cha class attack cruiser.
It was also the first episode ever to feature the Klingon bat'leth sword.
And another first... it's also the first episode ever written by Brannon Braga, and the first in which Braga collaborated with Ronald D. Moore.
And another... it was the first episode to feature Gowron, who would ultimately be in eleven episodes of both The Next Generation and Deep Space Nine.
And another... it was the first episode to feature Worf's son, Alexander.
Killing K'Ehleyr was Michael Pillar's idea, something he thought would make a great way to motivate Worf to kill Duras.
According to this episode, there are representatives of thirteen different planets in the Enterprise-D crew.
