Michel Hazanavicius has won the top film honour at the Directors Guild of America Awards for his silent movie The Artist, giving him the inside track for the best director prize at the Academy Awards.
French film-maker Hazanavicius, whose credits include the OSS 117 spy spoofs, had been a virtual unknown in Hollywood until The Artist, his black-and-white throwback to early cinema that has been a favourite at earlier film honours.
The Directors Guild honours are one of the most accurate forecasts for who might go on to take home an Oscar.
Only six times in the 63-year history of the guild awards has the winner failed to win the Oscar for best director.
And more often than not, whichever film earns the directing Oscar also wins best picture.

Updated at 6:26 p.m. ET: Florida Gov. Rick Scott mistakenly sent Floridians seeking information on a deadly fungal meningitis outbreak to a sex hot line.
Scott was at a Florida Cabinet meeting on Tuesday when he announced a toll-free hotline's 866 number, but mixed up the numbers, according to WUSF News.
From NBCMiami.com: First fungal meningitis death in Florida
After WUSF News, a public radio station in Tampa, posted the number online a reader notified the news station that the number was directing callers to a very different service.
"Hello boys, thank you for calling me on my anniversary," a woman's voice says in a recording.
A spokesperson for Scott said he inadvertently -- and briefly -- released the wrong number, and then corrected it by providing the number for the Florida Fungal Meningitis Hotline is 866-523-7339.
Front line for meningitis outbreak: the ER
More than 100 fungal meningitis cases have been reported nationally, with about a dozen deaths, including one fatality in Florida.
On Tuesday, Scott also said authorities had contacted nearly 700 of the 1,185 patients linked to facilities that received tainted medicine in Marion, Miami-Dade, Orange and Escambia counties.
NBCMiami.com's Brian Hamacher and NBC New's Sevil Omer contributed to this report.

Checking for Obstructions
Occasionally you may trip or stumble in the field, accidentally dipping the barrel into the ground or snow. Immediately check for an obstruction.
- Point the muzzle in a safe direction.
- Open the action, and make sure the firearm is unloaded.
- Check for debris in the barrel. If the firearm is a break action, look through the barrel from the breech end, or use a barrel light to inspect the barrel for obstructions.
- Remove any obstructions with a cleaning rod.
- Check the barrel again to make sure no debris remains.

Protecting Metals Underwater Zincs From A to Z
The surveyor's report in the claim file mentions that the boat's owner first noticed pitting on the shaft in the spring of 1987. The following season, "some degree of corrosion was evident" on the same outdrive, so the owner slapped on a fresh coat of paint and hoped for the best. Finally by 1989 the owner reported that he was unable to put the badly corroded outdrive in gear. The reason, after a brief investigation, had to do with the zinc, or lack of a zinc, which should have been acting as a "sacrificial anode" to protect the outdrive from galvanic corrosion. The last zinc, it seems, had been placed on the outdrive in 1985, an eternity when two dissimilar metals are immersed in saltwater. Claim #891034A.
The scientific explanation as to why galvanic corrosion occurs has to do with things like migrating electrons and electrical potential, but as a practical matter a boat owner should be aware that dissimilar metals, especially dissimilar metals left unprotected below the waterline, can cause horrendous corrosion problems to the least noble or "anodic" metal. The more dissimilar the metals (see chart), the more likely galvanic corrosion will occur.
Saltwater is a more effective electrolyte than freshwater, which means that galvanic corrosion takes place more quickly in saltwater. Galvanic corrosion can even occur when dissimilar metals are joined above the waterline. A sportfisherman in Florida, to use one dramatic example, had a Zamac (chrome plated zinc) fuel fill mated with a galvanized steel nipple below the deck. Saltwater washing over the fittings eventually destroyed the Zamac fitting and gasoline poured into the bilge. The boat exploded when the engine was started but fortunately nobody was hurt. (Claim #897640A)
Above the waterline, you'll want to avoid using Zamac fittings on critical parts like the fuel fill when a boat is used in saltwater. And whenever possible, avoid using dissimilar metals, especially metals that are far apart on the galvanic scale. If this isn't possible, which is frequently the case, you can often insulate one metal from another, for example, an aluminum mast from a stainless steel fitting, by using zinc chromate, polysulfide, a wood pad, or an inert insulating material like nylon or tufnol.
But below the waterline, when you have a stainless steel shaft and a bronze prop, which can't be isolated, you'll need a sacrificial anode. A zinc.
Shafts, rudders, outdrives, and trim tabs are likely candidates for zincs. Replacing these zincs is typically done annually, sometimes semi-annually. (The exception may be on boats kept in uncrowded, northern water where the water is colder and zincs typically last longer.) Zincs that are crumbling should be replaced in the Spring before launching and again midway through the season. Conversely, a zinc that doesn't appear to be worn at the end of the season is suspect and may contain impurities that kept it from doing its job. Before changing suppliers, make sure the zinc was snug against the metal it was supposed to have been protecting. A loose zinc won't do its job. Check also the metal beneath the zinc to make sure it is smooth and unpainted. Never paint a zinc.
Forgetting to replace anodes can destroy an outdrive.
Galvanic Series
Using the list below, you can get a fairly good idea how vulnerable a fitting might be to galvanic corrosion. A fitting made of a metal at the bottom of the scale will waste away in seawater if it is in direct contact with a fitting made of a metal at the top. Fittings will be damaged more quickly in saltwater than in freshwater, but it is also possible for galvanic corrosion to take place when dissimilar metals are out of the water. The farther apart the two metals are on the scale, the more likely the anodic metal will be damaged.
Cathodic Graphite
- Stainless Steel Bronze
- Brass
- Copper
- Tin
- Mild Steel
- Aluminum
- Anodic Zinc
Note: Galvanic series are frequently published that seem to disagree slightly. For example, brass may be listed ahead of bronze, or vice versa. This has to do with variations of the alloys, as well the electrolyte.

News Flash from Redmond: FOSS Causes Dissatisfaction!
Feb 24, 2014 2:34 PM PT
Here in the Linux community, we're all familiar with the many benefits that come with using open source software -- customizability, interoperability, and freedom from vendor lock-in, to name just a few examples.
Well, Linux Girl has shocking news to report. It turns out there's also a BIG PROBLEM associated with open source software that we've all apparently overlooked: dissatisfaction!
Yes, that's right, dear readers: Open source software causes dissatisfaction and other assorted problems for its users! Thank goodness Microsoft is around to alert us to this worrying situation.
'This Will Cause Problems'
"You may not be aware, but the UK government is currently in the process of making important selections about which open standards to mandate the use of in future," began Microsoft blogger Alexbuk in a post last week.
"The government proposes to mandate Open Document format (ODF) and exclude the most widely supported and used open standard for document formats, Open XML (OOXML)," Alexbuk went on to helpfully explain.
"We believe this will cause problems for citizens and businesses who use office suites which don't support ODF," he suggested. Not only that, but "we believe very strongly that the current proposal is likely to increase costs, cause dissatisfaction amongst citizens and businesses, add complexity to the process of dealing with government and negatively impact some suppliers to government."
Imagine that, dear readers! All these years and we had no idea. Luckily, there's been plenty of tequila on hand down at the blogosphere's Broken Windows Lounge to help soften the blow.
'Just Stupid'
"Well, wouldn't you know, Microsoft is pitching the FUD again," began Google+ blogger Kevin O'Brien over a fresh Tequila Tux cocktail.
"I happen to know that LibreOffice can handle just about anything you need to do, and for word processing and documents, Writer is superior to Word," O'Brien told Linux Girl. "There is no reason for anyone to be dissatisfied -- in fact, they will probably have a certain relief, since LibreOffice does not use that highly confusing 'Ribbon.'
"Giving control of the people's data to a private company that can switch formats any time it wants is just stupid," he concluded.
'This Is Microsoft's Greatest Fear'
"I don't doubt that it will cause dissatisfaction -- in Microsoft," Linux Rants blogger Mike Stone chimed in. "This is Microsoft's greatest fear. It starts slowly, and gradually more and more 'customers' slip through their fingers, realizing that there are viable alternatives."
Microsoft is "hoping to nip this in the bud while progress is still slow," he added. "I hope Microsoft's bluster is ignored so we can finally get past them and move on to better things."
Similarly, "the only dissatisfaction will be in Micro$oft's pockets," agreed Google+ blogger Gonzalo Velasco C.
"Of course any change (from A to B, whatever those options are) needs to be done properly," he conceded. "If you change a public service person's computer from Windows 3.1 on a Pentium MMX PC to Ubuntu 14.04 on an AMD Phenom II X4 machine without any training and preparation, the person will be confused and frustrated for a couple of days -- until she/he perceives the system is way better and the new machine a jet!"
In much the same way, "take somebody from M$Office 2003 and give them 2012 to see if they don't throw a brick on the computer screen," Gonzalo Velasco C. added. "Nice statement, Micro$oft!"
'The Last Vestige of M$'s Desktop Monopoly'
And again: "Of course M$ and 'partners' will be dissatisfied with governments choosing ODF," blogger Robert Pogson concurred.
Governments and citizens, on the other hand, "will be satisfied with using standards that permit them to share reading, writing and presenting information in a format not being jerked around by a corporation wanting frequently to be paid for 'upgrades' (arbitrary changes)," Pogson explained.
"Using OOXML and ODF both is absolutely silly, like requiring round and square wheels on vehicles," he added. "OOXML was designed to lock people into using M$'s products forever -- something that should be of no interest to governments and taxpayers."
In fact, the government of the UK "should spit the hook out by banning use of M$'s products anywhere in government," he suggested. "If all governments did that, the world would be freed from monopoly rather quickly as ISVs would ship products for GNU/Linux and other FLOSS operating systems promptly. Governments are the biggest businesses, and ISVs cannot ignore them."
Meanwhile, business software use is "the last vestige of M$'s desktop monopoly," Pogson asserted. "Eliminating that monopoly -- which is of no benefit to anyone but M$ and 'partners' -- should be a priority of all governments, just as they seek to secure their citizens against terrorists and other common criminals."
'Microsoft Will Lose Some Credibility'
Of course, strictly speaking, "this isn't about switching to open source software, but to a format widely and well-supported by open source office formats," noted Chris Travers, a blogger who works on the LedgerSMB project. In other words, "the government could continue to run Microsoft Office, but the preferred data format would be ODF."
In any case, "this makes Microsoft's argument seem to be rather shrill," Travers said. "Why on earth would changing the default format of released documents be a big deal? It isn't clear that this is an issue at all for documents released to the public or shared between departments.
"The most likely outcome here is that Microsoft will not get what they are asking for, and will lose some credibility when the sky doesn't fall," he predicted.
'A Win/Win - Just Not for Microsoft'
Last but not least, "here we go again," sighed Google+ blogger Alessandro Ebersol.
"Microsoft can state whatever they want -- they are the losers in this case, so they'll complain, they'll curse, they'll badmouth, whatever," he explained. "The thing is, Windows just exists as a wrap for MS Office, and of course, MS can force out the competitors, accessing undocumented system calls and APIs, what makes its office suite outperform the competition."
Yet "a word processing program is not rocket science -- it's just an empty screen where we type our letters, documents, resumes," Ebersol added. "The wire that still holds MS Office is the OOXML format, the damned DOCX (and the other X, XLSX, PPTX, etc...), which is a closed standard (despite Microsoft claims)."
Besides, "the world is moving towards non-desktop-centric computing, and other alternatives are more attractive these days," he pointed out. "BYOD is also important, and MS does not fit all the gaps here."
Finally, "nothing can beat 0 cost," Ebersol concluded. "Sure there are the training costs in the beginning, but once the folks are trained, the TCO just fades over time. So, open source is a win/win scenario -- just not for Microsoft."

Pirates' 2013 success shines over shadow of NLDS loss
When Pedro Alvarez stepped to the plate in the seventh inning of Game 5 Wednesday night, the burgeoning celebration in Busch Stadium came to an immediate, stunning halt.
That much was clear, even for those watching on TBS. The Cardinals were up 3-0 and starter Adam Wainwright was cruising, and the Pirates' dream season felt doomed. But then, with a pair of two-out infield singles, all of a sudden Pittsburgh had life. Alvarez, who had already hit three home runs in the series, represented the tying run as he gripped his bat.

And then, crazy happened.
Alvarez hit a grounder down the first-base line, where Matt Adams was waiting to field it for the third out. But the ball hit the bag and hopped over Adams -- no easy feat, considering the rookie is listed at 6-3, 260 pounds -- which allowed Justin Morneau to score and moved Marlon Byrd up to third base.
All of a sudden, Russell Martin represented the go-ahead run as he dug into the batter's box. The red-clad masses at Busch Stadium were terrified -- no doubt they'd watched Martin blast two homers in the Pirates' wild-card win against Cincinnati. But Wainwright induced a ground ball that was much less complicated than the previous three ground balls that had caused all the consternation in the stadium. Martin was out.
An inning later, Adams mashed a no-doubter home run into the right-field stands -- a two-run blast that put the Cardinals back up by four runs and eased the tension in the ballpark that sits in the shadow of the Gateway Arch. Barring some type of once-in-a-lifetime comeback, that blast signaled the end of the road for the Pirates.
PHOTOS: Best images from NLDS | ALDS
Wainwright made sure that comeback never happened. Pittsburgh's memorable season ended with what was eventually a 6-1 loss. It was the first time since 1992 the Pirates had a winning record -- you might have heard a thing or a thousand about that this summer -- and it was the biggest step toward a baseball-watching country accepting a new reality.
The Pirates are good. The Pirates have a good franchise. The Pirates aren't going anywhere. Well, maybe that third thing hasn't been fully accepted yet, but it's very true. On Twitter, the most common joke right after the final out went something like this: "Thanks, Pirates. See you in 2033." It was a reference, of course, to the 21-year gap between playoff appearances. Those Twitter jokesters couldn't be more wrong.
It will be surprising if there's even a 21-month stretch before the Pirates are back in the postseason. Their few veteran free agents can be replaced -- a major changing of the guard occurred Tuesday, when manager Clint Hurdle opted to start 23-year-old Gerrit Cole in Game 5 instead of 37-year-old A.J. Burnett, who made $16.5 million in the final season of his five-year deal (the Yankees paid $8.5 million of that this season).
ALDS: Tigers survive | Did umps make right call on controversial home run? | Game 5
More reinforcements are coming. Some people who analyze prospects for a living felt Jameson Taillon should have been considered the organization's top pitching prospect heading into the season, not Cole. And those people knew how good Cole would be in the majors. Their farm system isn't the best in baseball, but it's in the conversation.
There will be no 21-year-gap. There will be only building. This was supposed to be the year the Pirates finally took that giant step, and they did just that. They stepped into the playoffs, then over the Reds in the wild-card game, then had their foot in position (to continue the theme, for better or worse) against the Cardinals before St. Louis wriggled free on the strength of two amazing pitching performances, by Wainwright and Michael Wacha.
In the moment, the Pirates will be disappointed they're not playing the Dodgers in the NLCS. But in the big picture--and, you'd better believe the frame covers the span of the Clemente Bridge--this season was a rousing success.
The Pirates know it, and their fans do, too.

A word of advice for this reader is never to allow others to define you because more often than not they will limit your potential.
This information gained credence Thursday after reading a published article regarding Rep. Rush Holt (D-Mercer).
Holt discussed his efforts to gain funding for Trenton's depleted police force.
'I went to the Department of Justice and said 'You've got to help,' they said, 'Trenton is beyond help.''
Holt did help generate money to hire back 12 of the 108 police officers laid off during drastic budget cuts but he sounded like a beat down politician with a wimpy assertion that 'You want to throw up your hands or cry - I don't quite know what the reaction is' to violence and corruption in the city of Trenton.
Forget hands, Holt had me ready to throw up because this city has enough people who bad mouth it, even a lot of people employed here but take their money back to suburban households.
Holt alleged that Trenton suffers with funding because people who control state and federal purses, fail to commit support because of an FBI probe that trapped the mayor and several others.
If Holt needs a tutorial on local politics then he should know that Gov. Chris Christie or one of his sidekicks like Department of Community Affairs Director Tom Neff runs this city.
Our urban leaders jump through hoops or say 'Yes, sir, Mr. Charlie or Mr. Christie' for any money that gets doled out here. It's more about plantational attitudes than political prowess.
Holt hardly delivered a masterpiece of recognition with his reported assessment that there are no easy answers for urban troubles like poverty, crime and corruption.
Holt is correct that no easy social remedies exist for generational poverty, crime and addiction. They pose exceptional challenges for government leaders and those caught in the crosshairs of daily despair.
Incredibly, Mr. Holt made no mention of education as a starting point for reduction of ignorance, gun violence, or serious health issues like HIV-AIDS.
There is no mention of his office involved in any effort to reopen four city libraries that were closed for more than a year then reinvented as failed learning centers.
Nor did Holt discuss the deplorable conditions students face at Trenton Central High School. Holt should stride through the high school someday, maybe even tow Rep. Chris Smith through the decrepit institute.
While gun laws may offer a reduction in city bullet attacks a better message may be for our youngsters to learn to read then 'Shoot for the moon.'
Mr. Holt sounded overwhelmed by his charge to serve the people. Perhaps a vacation is in order, provided that he's not junketing with Sen. Bob Menendez to a Domincian Republic destination.
We all should understand that solutions to most social problems begin and end with education.

As is the fashion when you are the world's favorite search engine/portal/SEO-optimizer, Google has detailed its latest application development focused news in a relaxed and informal blog from one its product managers rather than the more formal press release style. The company's Jessie Jiang has this week noted that there are more than 200,000 developers who have created apps on Google's cloud services and that this week has seen the announcement of several enhancements to its services targeted at programmers looking to build applications in the cloud.
Seeking to highlight its recognition of the importance of uptime guarantees, easy management, and support, the search giant now offers Google App Engine Premier Accounts for $500 per month. For this sum, developers will reportedly receive premier support, a 99.95% uptime service level agreement, and the ability to create an unlimited number of apps on their account domain.
The company has also announced the limited (free of charge for now) preview of Google Cloud SQL to power Google App Engine applications with a relational database in a fully managed cloud environment. The proposition being that a programmer can focus on developing applications and services free from the chores of managing, maintaining, and administering relational databases.
Why announce one new developer enhancement when you can make it a party is clearly Google's philosophy; so also making headlines this week is Google Cloud Storage's emergence out of the company's Code Labs sector. This newly released beast is now called Google Cloud Storage and it boasts a service that lets users store data on Google's infrastructure with very "high reliability, availability, and performance". As well as compatibility with static content (e.g., images and video), this service will also (logically) work with other Google services like App Engine, Prediction API, and Big Query.
Finally, in this quite neatly grouped set of developer augmentations is the Google Prediction API, which has similarly graduated from a labs-based existence to form an offering that gives what the company lists as "two of the most requested features" for the API: PMML v4.01 support and data anomaly detection.
"Prediction API has a variety of use cases from helping increase fuel economy to creating movie recommendation services. It is one of the services which provides a clean and simple API to machine learning that anybody can understand," said Google's Jiang. "At the same time, it is hosted in the cloud and situated for integration with your web application. We are enabling our enterprise customers to build business solutions that take advantage of the computing power and scalability of Google's cloud services without all the hassles of deployment of applications."

Interesting idea raised by Jimmy in another thread - if an advanced race fully understood their DNA they could recreate themselves as they saw fit. Topic for discussion: What would be the ultimate modifications?
I'm imagining almost all brain, living in an almost indestructible metal shell connected to robotic limbs that could be changed out as necessary. What do YOU think?
Views: 1573
If one can understand and manipulate one's DNA to change the body in different and extreme ways, then one can build creatures from scratch. So why not just build a living, symbiotic exo-suit that can mesh with and be controlled by a specific creature's nervous system? Kind of like the aliens in Independence Day.
Brilliant idea - thanks. So sort of like my concept of being a big brain, but with another creature as an avatar rather than a mechanical suit. I like it.
To that end, we could make suits that really couldn't function without us - being hung in a life support closet when not in use. We could call that the minimalist.
We could then make other specialty suits for various tasks. Mindless drones good at doing heavy lifting, but with a vacuous skull into which we could insert ourselves when more processing power became required.
We could even have a marine suit for extended underwater work. It would be very weird, however, getting used to occupying various types of bodies. :D
Probably no more weird than being a giant brain creature living in a metal shell.
Just saying :P
I was just trying to wrap my head around having multiple interfaces.
I was thinking of something a bit higher tech - but ok.
that's where my mind went
Well, descending into psuedo-religion, "what is the purpose of our life?" We'd need to define that before we go through the trouble of designing a body.
Immediate responses seem to revolve around indestructible bodies. Self preservation is a necessary product of evolution, but need that be the case if we're doing the designing?
If we know DNA all that well, we have probably defined the electrochemical basis of thought and memory in detail. Do we declare a personal home for what is "us" (like a bowl of chicken soup in which we can store ourselves between bodies)?
So do we live forever? Do we want to?
It's worth wondering if these are questions that will require answers in the medium-term future.
In addition to the above, a question I would have is "who gets to live?"
I believe living indefinitely would be a goal - and it wouldn't be a problem if we had reproduction under control. We could still allow for the pleasures of sex - but imagine if the mechanisms required each partner to consciously decide in favour of reproduction before that ever became a result.
No one alive today would get to live - we can't change your current DNA. Our future, far superior selves would be the one's allowed to live indefinitely.
I like the chicken soup idea, :D
Our purpose would be to colonize beyond our solar system - with an eye on determining if it would ever be possible to move to another cosmos.
I'm imagining a period of biological trans-humanism where the goal is to preserve consciousness across wetware. The first 'brain transplant' might be accomplished by regenerating your body while preserving the brain. Being able to extend the brain sufficiently that one might end up residing more in the extended organ than the original, the eventual decay of the original might go unnoticed.
You are very right, though, in theorizing that we might have to become quite ruthless to accomplish this level of modification. Just contemplating that, it becomes unfathomable that any entities that had accomplished such a goal would ever find us even the slightest bit interesting.
They might view our planet as a terrible candidate being that it's almost entirely covered in water - bleh!
If 'they' had a very good propulsion system how much do you think this logic would hold? Would an alien culture hold to the galactic core and arms or look for other interesting places off the beaten path? A similar point comes up compairing this to how our early explorers traveled. They did not always follow the continental margins, but sometimes tested areas much further out from home. I expect that they might not have similar hangups, to be affraid of dropping off the edge of the world/galaxy.
I expect 'finding your way home' might still be a problem given the vast territories to explore. Using references for location might be difficult in some areas.

LAS CRUCES, N.M. - The New Mexico State baseball team took on Wisconsin-Milwaukee in a doubleheader falling 13-8 in game one before winning 16-8 in game two at Presley Askew Field, Saturday, Feb. 16 to move to 2-2 on the year.
The Aggies plated 24 runs on 22 hits with junior Tanner Rust and senior Kyle Phillips leading the way with four hits each. Senior Michael Ormseth, a Las Cruces native, started game one throwing 5.2 innings while picking up eight strikeouts in a no-decision. Senior Casey Collins of Glendale, Ariz. earned his first victory throwing 6.0 innings in game two.
The Aggies struggled offensively in the first three innings of the game before exploding for five runs in the bottom of the fourth to take an early 5-3 lead. NM State tallied three walks, a double and two singles with senior Bobby Lecount earning an RBI on a sacrifice fly to left field during the inning.
After the Panthers scored on a double in the top of the fifth, the Aggies scored two of their own when Lecount hit a double to centerfield to bring in Tanner Rust and Parker Hipp. NM State was up 7-4 heading into the sixth inning when UW-Milwaukee crossed the plate two more times to pull within one.
The Panthers caught fire scoring seven runs in the eighth inning as NM State cooled down marking only two hits in the final three innings of the game. Right hand pitcher Tim Torsney threw well to get the Aggies out of the game picking up two strikeouts in 1.2 innings of work as he did not allow a hit.
The Aggies started game two much different than game one posting five runs on four hits in the first two innings as the UW-Milwaukee starter struggled to find control. He (Eric King) allowed four walks and a wild pitch with NM State scoring five runs before being pulled in the second inning.
Outfielder Michael Medina started an Aggie rally with a single to leftfield in the top of the fourth. Lecount picked up another RBI with Medina scoring from second to give the Aggies a 6-2 lead. After the Panthers crossed the plate three times in the top of the fifth, NM State scored twice in the bottom of the inning taking an 8-5 lead.
Medina ended the game going 3-of-4 at the dish scoring three runs and picking up two RBI. Lecount went 2-of-3 with two runs and three RBI. Lecount picked up a single in the sixth and Medina walked in the inning as NM State scored three more times to extend its lead to 11-5.
UW-Milwaukee kept the game interesting scoring three runs in the seventh but the Aggie offense was consistent scoring two runs in the bottom of the inning with freshman Kent Blackstone blasting a triple to right-centerfield to give his team the momentum to score another three in the eighth to win 16-8.
The Aggies head out for an eight-game (10-day) road trip starting with the Keith LeClaire Classic hosted by East Carolina. NM State faces East Carolina, Friday, Feb. 22 at 3:00 p.m. (MT), before taking on Illinois, Saturday, Feb. 23 at 4:00 p.m. (MT). The Aggies finish the weekend against Ohio on Sunday, Feb. 24 at 11:00 a.m. (MT).

Better Digestion & Immunity
Packed full of prebiotics, probiotics and digestive enzymes, yet gentle on the stomach
A strong digestive system reinforces your body's immune system and defence against disease. Good Green Stuff contains a wide range of ingredients that encourage a healthy inflammatory response, support your immune system and promote gut and bowel health
Vitality, Body Balance & Healthy Weight
Designed to keep the spring in your step
CoQ10 and B-Vitamins for energy production and distribution, along with countless nutrients and phytonutrients to make you glow from the inside out. With herbs to help boost metabolism, fat breakdown, and detoxification, Good Green Stuff helps you look and feel your best every day.
Quick, Tasty, Convenient

No Bad Stuff
Allergen-Free - All of the good stuff, with none of the bad
Free from all common allergens. No gluten, dairy, eggs, nuts, soy or corn. No GMO ingredients. No nasty chemicals, artificial preservatives or fillers. Just concentrated, real-food ingredients with a multi-vitamin boost.
The Most Effective Formula
Backed by science and formulated by independent industry leaders, Good Green Stuff is packed with over 75 real-food and premium-quality ingredients providing nutrients in the best forms for your body to use.
Good Green Stuff is packed full of greens, fruits, vegetables, herbs, vitamins, minerals, anti-oxidants and much more
Significantly more vitamins and minerals
Good Green Stuff's advanced formula offers significantly higher levels of essential vitamins and minerals than other multivitamins and greens powders. If you don't believe it, just take a look.
Superior Forms of Ingredients
Even more important than the high levels of vitamins and minerals found in Good Green Stuff, are the superior forms used. There is a scientific rationale behind each selection with the most bio-available and effective forms chosen to make Good Green Stuff the ultimate lifestyle supplement.
Ready-to-use Folate not Synthetic Folic Acid
30% to 40% of people cannot properly metabolise synthetic Folic Acid and an excess of it in the blood has recently been linked to increased tumour growth. Good Green Stuff contains bioactive Folate (L-5MTHF), so that you get all the benefits without the risks.
Active Vitamin B12
You need a good diet, low stress levels and low toxin levels to efficiently convert B12 from the common, inactive form (Cyanocobalamin) to its active form (Methylcobalamin). Good Green Stuff skips the middle man and uses pre-converted Vitamin B12 to ensure that all of the benefits are available to everyone, all of the time.
Naturally-sourced Calcium
Nature knows best. Rather than using simple laboratory produced salt compounds (calcium citrate, carbonate and phosphate) we source our calcium naturally from Red Marine Algae which also provides a high concentration of other valuable trace and ultra-trace minerals.
Ready-to-go Vitamin A
Many products rely on just beta-carotene (pro-vitamin A) as a Vitamin A source. Good Green Stuff uses Mixed Natural Carotenoids providing access to over 400 carotenoids. In addition Good Green Stuff includes readily available Retinyl Palmitate (preformed Vitamin A) for people who have difficulty converting beta-carotene to its usable form.
Flush-Free, Slow Release Vitamin B3 (Niacin)
Good Green Stuff uses Inositol Hexanicotinate, a slow-release form of Vitamin B3 allowing more time for absorption and providing a sustained release of energy to vital organs. It is also a "non-flush" niacin unlike the frequently used Nicotinic Acid which, in high doses, can cause 'flushing' (a transient prickly sensation in the skin).
Full Spectrum Vitamin E
There are eight different types of Vitamin E, each delivering specific benefits. Rather than using the standard single-source, alpha-tocopherol (an excess of which can actually inhibit the absorption of other forms) Good Green Stuff contains a carefully balanced mix of all eight forms, as Mixed Natural Tocopherols and Tocotrienols, for maximum health benefits.
Vegan-friendly Vitamin D3
Cholecalciferol (Vitamin D3) is made when our skin is exposed to sunlight. D3 is essential for the absorption of calcium and phosphorus (required for bone-mineral density) and for strengthening the body's ability to heal wounds. To maintain its Vegan status Good Green Stuff sources Vitamin D3 from Lichen rather than the more common sheep's wool source.
Bloat-free Pre-Biotics
Although it's a beneficial prebiotic, research shows that Inulin (the most common prebiotic found in nutritional supplements) can cause gastrointestinal distress such as cramping, pain and bloating. Good Green Stuff has chosen the pre-biotic fibre, Apple Pectin, which is just as effective but gentler on the system.
Independently Formulated by Experts
We've brought together a team of leading scientists and natural health experts to create Good Green Stuff. The mandate was to draw upon their combined clinical experience and scientific research to deliver the most advanced and most effective formula for nutritional support and protection.
"Good Green Stuff has strengthened my immune system and helped in my performance"
How to take Good Green Stuff
Take Good Green Stuff every day as your nutritional backup and vitality boost

Energy from the music, energy from the merchandise, energy from the people. All of this is what makes Hot Topic different. The merchandise reflects a variety of music related lifestyles, which include streetwear, retro influenced lounge, punk, club, and gothic. Add to that the wide selection of unique gifts and unusual accessories and you have it. Founder Orv Madden realized in 1988 that no other retailers were taking timely advantage of the direct correlation between music videos, alternative artists, and teenage fashions. Hot Topic takes its fashion cues from music videos, concerts, and music magazines and is always ahead of the curve. Many fashions worn by bands such as Korn, No Doubt, and Kid Rock have often appeared in Hot Topic stores prior to their wide spread popularity. If it's happening in music related fashion, it's happening at Hot Topic right now.

Before printing, save your file as a PDF or Print to PDF. The drivers for these plotters are setup specifically to print PDF files!
Large-format Printers (a.k.a. plotters) only print 36 by any length. Therefore, do not set your width to 48 inches and expect the printer to print. Format your projects based on landscape or portrait so you do not have problems printing them.
It is important to note that the printers only print what you create. You are responsible for formatting your drawing so that you have desired results. The student is responsible for using sound judgment before sending a job to printer, paying close attention to how their file was setup and how they would like it to print (landscape or portrait).
- Select the Printer you wish to print from using the drop down menu. Once selected click Properties
- The Paper/Quality tab/window will appear. Under Paper Options select your document size using the drop down menu. If you do not see the size of your project, you will have to Click Custom and input a new custom size, for example: 36x52. Make sure you save the custom size and give it the name of your designated size "36x52". After you have saved it, select your custom size from the drop down menu.
- Next, select the tab Features and locate the section Roll Options. Make sure nothing is checked as shown in the screen shot.
- Next select the tab Color. Note: You should not have to change settings within this window. All Color Options should be set by default. Please use this screen shot as a guide to make sure your settings mirror these. If not, please make sure your settings mirror these before clicking OK . Click OK to continue.
- You are almost done, locate the Page Handling category and make sure that "Choose paper source by PDF page size" is "unchecked" (It should be unchecked by default).
- Next, uncheck or check Auto-Rotate and Center depending on how you formatted your drawing. For instance, using the screen shot below, you can see the picture in Print Preview is printing in portrait and looks to be confined in a small area. In this particular instance, unchecking Auto Rotate and Center will not yield desired results.
- This screenshot shows the same image but with Auto-Rotate and Center selected, it formats the picture to print correctly based on how the drawing was created.

I gained a deeper understanding and greater appreciation for how my body works. Thank you to the Teams at Duke and Coursera for making such a wide body of information available to the motivated.
Apr 01, 2016
Lectures are very concise. This course can help you grasp the most important core concepts and key woking mechanisms of human physiology. But I don't know why it do not have the immune system.
Welcome back! This module continues our discussion of the endocrine system and its control of homeostasis. In this series of videos, we consider how the endocrine system regulates the production of gametes (egg and sperm) in the female and male, respectively, as well as the production of the sex hormones. The things to do this week are to watch the 4 videos, to answer the in-video questions, to read the notes, and to complete the problem set. It will be most effective if you follow the sequence of the lectures on the reproductive system. Again please consult the notes for a more detailed summary of each topic. If you have not tried the problems sets, please do so. They will reinforce your understanding of the newly learned information by applying it. Since these problem sets are delivered in the same electronic format as the exams, by completing them, you will gain confidence in using the electronic test format.

[This guide was put together by valet parking expert/Jalopnik commentator M0L0TOV for your edification - ed. note] Once again, the holidays are upon us, parties, shopping, and other social events loom overhead. Some of us that are impatient or don't have the time will see the signs for "valet" and cough up the money to save us parking stress. However, if proper steps aren't taken, the convenience can be more of a headache than its worth.
For over a year and a half, I was in charge of the claims department at a valet company. I was in charge of handling claims in over 13 different states. If your car was damaged, stolen, or if items were taken from your car, you either spoke or yelled at me. I believe the best way to avoid any of these tenuous situations is prevention. But if the worst does happen, there are some tips included for how to deal with an incident.
1. Please be sure that you are handing the keys to the valet.
Please don't give us the chauffer/FOB keys, or else it will be hard to start the car later. Most valets uniforms are as follows: khaki shorts or pants, a polo t-shirt with the company logo, and finally white sneakers. Valets are required to wear uniforms of this sort and if you are doubtful, look for other valets dressed in the same or similar uniforms to confirm the person you are speaking to is a genuine valet.
2. Visually inpsect your vehicle before handing the keys to the valet.
Those 30 seconds you spend inspecting your vehicle may save you the headache of noticing a scratch that had previously been there.
3. Remove any portable electronics of value from the car.
Ipods, GPS recievers, and radar detectors are popular targets, take the item with you. Expensive sunglasses are also a prime target of theft. No one cares about your change. You can lock the items in your glovebox but if the valet has the keys or left the vehicle unlocked, it's pointless to leave the items in there. Thieves primarily go after small expensive items that can be stored in their pockets.
4. If you must leave expensive items in your trunk(i.e. laptop or Christmas presents), COVER THEM UP!
Theft from cars is a crime of opportunity, if they don't see or notice it, they won't steal it.
5. Never mention any expensive items in your car (i.e. I just got a new GPS for my car) because you're practically begging to having your items stolen.
6. If your car has weird quirks, (i.e. door has to be opened a certain way or the window can't be rolled down) please tell the valet ahead of time, it'll save you a headache.
At the end of the night, please be sure to visually inspect the car and check your vehicle for valuable items before leaving the property. If you fail to notice damage to your vehicle until you get home or the next day, the valet company will simply say all claims must be made before leaving property, you will be S.O.L.
The reason is because it's difficult to pin the damage on the valet company when the damage could have been caused by another party after leaving the property. Always keep all the tickets given to you by the valet company just in case there is an issue.
So you notice there is damage to your vehicle or there are missing items from your vehicle.
1. Ask to speak to the valet manager.
The manager will fill out an incident report and forward it to the claims department, you should get a copy for your records, and you should be contacted within 1-2 business days. In case of a stolen vehicle, contact the authorities and more than likely, your insurance company will be dealing directly with the valet company.
2. If your keys are lost, usually the valet company offers the claimant a ride or pays for a taxi.
If you live far away, it may be cheaper to rent a vehicle than take a taxi. I know it sounds FUBAR but trust me, valet companies are cheapskates.
3. If the vehicle cannot be driven, under most circumstances, you will have to rent a vehicle with your own money until the valet company can send you a check.
Most valet companies adhere to the same standards as insurance companies, so the highest amount for a rental is usually $40.00. If you rent something uber expensive, you're going to have to eat the difference yourself.
4. Never let a valet company try to strongarm you into going to an autobody repair facility they suggest.
The law dictates that you have the choice to go to any facility of your choice. More than likely, you will be asked to get 2-3 estimates (go to facilities you trust) and fax it to the valet company. If the estimate exceeds a certain amount, an independent appraiser will be sent(at the expense of the valet company) out to verify the damage to the vehicle. If the damage exceeds the value of the car (80%), the car will be written off as a total loss and you'll be paid the market value of your vehicle.
5. Do not drop off your vehicle for repairs until you have the check in hand.
The reason I say so is if the valet company only pays for the five days it takes to repair your vehicle, that's all they'll pay. So if you jump the gun on dropping off your car and you don't get the check until five days later, you have to pay the five extra days yourself.
6. In the case you have items stolen from your vehicle, it's almost next to impossible to get reimbursed for them.
My best advice is most valet companies are subcontractors at the facility you're at. So for example, if you stay at a hotel, bring the claim to the attention of the hotel and not the valet company, the hotel is the real customer here and they will put pressure on the valet company to reimburse you. If the valet company tries to tell you their policy is written on the ticket, just ignore it. The policy written on the ticket will not hold up in court so you can tell them to back off. If you have home owners insurance, your vehicle is covered for theft as long as you have the reciepts for the items in your car.
On a final note, most valets are just college kids trying to make ends meet. The wages for valets are tip-based so if you're dealing with a kind and courteous valet, please give them a tip as a token of your appreciation (my suggestion is $5.00). If you drive an exotic, $20.00 makes sure the car is parked up front and there will be no hooning in it since usually the manager will park it him/herself.

What does the name Brv mean? Find out below.
I do not know how you feel about it, but you were a male in your last earthly incarnation. You were born somewhere around the territory of USA South-West approximately on 1175. Your profession was leader, major, and captain.

Intro to Rhode Island hotels and accommodations
Hotels in Rhode Island
You won't find the biggest, boldest, or brashest hotels in Rhode Island. But you will find some of the finest. This wealthy state can count numerous 5-star hotels among its accommodation options, including many that make the most of the mansions and grand houses they're housed in. Clifftop views, exquisitely designed rooms, and beautiful grounds make a stay at a luxury Rhode Island hotel truly unforgettable. Cozy little bed and breakfasts in the state's seaside towns can provide more affordable room rates, while the best Rhode Island hotel deals can often be found in its boutique seaside hostels.
Things to see in Rhode Island
Magnificent mansions spanning the centuries are a real plus in RI. Perhaps the most impressive is The Breakers, a glitzy Gilded Age house built by the Vanderbilts. With its 70 rooms, Neo-renaissance stylings, and ornate ceiling paintings, it's as much a work of art as a home. For the show-homes of an earlier era, head to Providence's Benefit Street. Its collection of early Victorian buildings harks back to a time when this was the intellectual powerhouse of the state. A more contemporary side to Providence is revealed at the downtown multi-sensory art installation called WaterFire—a long line of bonfires placed in the river. These play some haunting music when lit, creating a romantic evening atmosphere in the restaurants either side. You're never far from a beach in Rhode Island, and some of the most scenic are found in Block Island. Here, golden sands lie at the bottom of a 200-foot cliff, topped by a pretty lighthouse.
Where to stay in Rhode Island
Providence is the state's capital and largest city. Most visitors will find good selection of Rhode Island accommodation here. Downtown, with its charming old-town streets, classy Italian restaurants, and great nightlife, can make for a great weekend break for couples. Wealthy Newport offers more luxurious vacations, with its mansions, yachts, upscale shopping, and great beaches. The best beach resort in Rhode Island, though, is probably Narragansett. Its seafront is lined with shops, restaurants, and safe, sandy beaches, making it a great spot for families. Lastly, Warwick is an historic town whose role in colonial times—and the Revolutionary War—transformed it into a fascinating stayover for history buffs.
How to get to Rhode Island
TF Green International Airport in Warwick is where the majority of Rhode Island-bound flights land. Those wanting to drive will find the "Ocean State" better connected from some places than others. From Boston, I-95 will take you southwest into the state in an hour. But from Connecticut or western Massachusetts you'll have to take state highways into Rhode Island, or make large detours on the interstates. On the railways, Boston's MBTA is the quickest rail service into Providence, while Amtrak also offers 3 separate train services from cities along the east coast.

A Better Model for Web Analytics Revenue Attribution
A regular day on the Web...
A website visitor finds your site in the Google search results. Excited by what you have to offer, she does some searches for similar products over the net, clicking on a range of pages from both you and your competitors. A few times she comes across some comparison shopping sites that include your listing and she clicks through to see if it's the same or perhaps a different offer. Eventually she decides that yours is the site that she's going to buy from and mentions your site to her husband. Later on he types your domain into Google and clicks through on your Adwords link that appears right at the top of the page. He loves your product too and buys it for his wife.
To which channel do you attribute the sale? Organic Search? Comparison Shopping? Adwords?
There is no "correct" answer. The fact is, all played a role. Organic search introduced your site and through further research on organic search the brand and offering was reinforced, assisted by comparison shopping listings. In this scenario, Adwords played the lesser role since if the Adwords listing wasn't present, more than likely your site would have ranked highly in the organic listings for the search on your domain name. But in the end, according to typical web analytics packages, Adwords would have been attributed the sale.
Of course there are any number of scenarios, with each channel potentially playing a different role with varying levels of contribution to the end sale. Multitouch Analytics provides a greater insight into what is really going on.
Google Analytics and Last Session Attribution
Google Analytics uses an "attribution model" (a way of attributing conversions to visits) based on "last session initiator", that is, the channel through which your site was found that initiated the last session of browser activity for the given visitor before the sale. A session is (roughly) any browsing activity on your site that happens within a 30 minute time period. So, for example, if a visitor enters your site via organic search, then an hour later visits again through Adwords and then makes a purchase, the organic search entry is forgotten, Adwords initiated the last session before the sale, so Adwords is attributed with the sale.
Clearly the last session model is flawed, as at best it gives an incomplete picture of user behaviour with respect to your marketing channels, but more seriously it gives a very biased picture. Some would argue that it doesn't matter how you measure providing you measure consistently; unfortunately this is not true, as illustrated by the scenario described above. Organic search is often used more as an early introduction and buyer research tool, whilst comparison shopping engines and paid advertising tend to be used more after the decision to purchase has been made, so "last session" attribution favours those channels.
Google Analytics also offers first session attribution, but that is no more helpful for the same reasons. What's more, you have to choose up-front whether you want to use first- or last-session attribution, and once committed it is a difficult and long process to change over.
Multitouch Analytics
Multitouch Analytics integrates with Google Analytics and offers additional reports that give you the full story on which marketing channels have been touched by your buyers.

MCC's work reflects our belief that true security is built through friendship, mutuality, diplomacy, economic development and equitable sharing of global resources – not through military power.
"The war horse is a vain hope for victory, and by its great might it cannot save. Our soul waits for the LORD ... our help and shield." (Psalm 33:17, 20, NRSV)
In addition to working for peace and nonviolence in countries around the world, MCC:
- Advocates for reducing U.S. military expenditures and spending more on life-giving programs
- Helps Christians explore what it means to be peacemakers in a dominant military power
- Offers information about conscientious objection, counseling for people in the military or those thinking about joining, and resources for congregations wanting to engage with military veterans
- Provides resources and stories on Christians who witness for peace by redirecting their war tax dollars
- Asks people to advocate against the use of cluster bombs, which can remain deadly for decades after war
Help us explore ways to build a worldwide community that is peaceful and secure, recognizing that in our weakness, God's true strength is revealed. (2 Corinthians 12:9-10)
