Hossa, Ference help Peterson battle Parkinson'sby Tal Pinchevsky / Chicago Blackhawks
Don't ask Nashville Predators adviser Brent Peterson to take sides in the 2013 Stanley Cup Final.
With the Chicago Blackhawks leading the Boston Bruins 3-2 in the best-of-7-series, the former coach and player considers Bruins president Cam Neely and Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville longtime friends.
What's more, he has loyalties to a player on each team. Peterson coached the 1998 Portland Winterhawks, the Western Hockey League and Memorial Cup champions, which featured Chicago's Marian Hossa and Boston's Andrew Ference. They're two of Peterson's favorite people, so picking one over the other is a struggle.
But not nearly the struggle Peterson's daily life can be.
Peterson was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease in 2003. The degenerative disorder that affects the central nervous system forced Peterson to ingest an array of medications in order to temper his symptoms. But the medication had severe side effects, and Peterson, at times, was unable to perform even the simplest daily tasks. He managed to stay on Nashville's coaching staff, but after falling on the ice last season, the club decided to move him to an advisory position.
"Some days I don't feel so good. Others I feel great. It just depends on the day. I'm still pretty slow moving at times, sometimes I'm off the wall," said Peterson, who underwent a procedure on his brain a few months ago that he said saved his life. "I'm feeling really good. I had the treatment and I had the surgery. That's really helped me a lot."
The procedure, known as deep brain stimulation surgery, has greatly enhanced Peterson's quality of life, but his real battle with the disease was made easier by the help of his friends in the hockey community -- especially two of the best players he ever coached in Portland. That 1998 team was the last one Peterson coached before moving to the NHL.
"It's great to be in hockey after all these years. I want to be a part of it to some degree, it's hard to get out of it. But I can't go on the ice and I can't coach anymore, which is hard," Peterson told NHL.com. "But that's why I have such good memories of those players; Marian Hossa and Andy Ference. It's special, because they're great people and they were so kind and so considerate. They were very coachable and they went out and did it on their own. I never made them players, they made themselves players."
As 18-year-olds, Hossa and Ference led a powerhouse Winterhawks team that included future NHL player Brenden Morrow. But their respective roads to that championship couldn't have been more different.
Hossa starred as an 18-year-old in the Ottawa Senators'' training camp, but they did not plan on giving him a regular shift on an improving team. So rather than let him sit on their bench, they sent him to Portland, who selected him in the annual Canadian Hockey League Import Draft.
"They sort of came from two different worlds," Peterson said. "Marian put us over the hump. He made us a great team instead of a good team. He was a real good kid, very respectful, very coachable. I'm proud of him that he's done this much and gotten this far."
Ference was an unheralded, undersized 15-year-old defenseman selected by Peterson for his toughness and strong defensive play. Against considerably larger players, Ference became a team favorite for his steadfast refusal to back down.
"Andrew Ference was the smallest defenseman and he just did it with hard work and sheer work ethic. He's always been like that since Day One. [He was] always the hardest worker in practice," Peterson said. "I knew he'd be in the NHL someday. I didn't think he'd be there this long and do as well. Marian Hossa was always going to be a superstar. They were both very respectful kids and very honest and good people off the ice, which is more important than anything."
These very different players formed the nucleus of a dominating 1997-98 Winterhawks team that went the entire season without losing two straight games, finishing 53-14-5-0 before winning the WHL title to advance to the Memorial Cup tournament.
In three Memorial Cup games, Portland went undefeated and outscored their opposition 17-8. And in a historic championship game, the team was tied late against the Guelph Storm when Hossa sustained a serious injury in an ugly knee-on-knee collision with Guelph forward Ryan Davis. Bobby Russell scored the overtime winner and Hossa was wheeled out to join Ference and the rest of his teammates in hoisting the cup.
"Probably the most vivid memory for me was when Marian got hurt in the last game with four minutes to play," Peterson said. "We won it in overtime and we brought him out in a wheelchair and he had the cup right out there. It was pretty awesome."
Peterson left weeks later to join Barry Trotz's coaching staff in Nashville. Hossa and Ference haven't played together since. And 15 years later, they're competing for the most storied prize in hockey. The former teammates haven't discussed the Winterhawks in some time, but the bond borne from that championship remains.
"We haven't chatted about it or anything like that," Ference said. "Obviously it's one of the highlights of my hockey career. I'm sure for both of us. It's a good way to get a first championship under your belt. It was a special time."
Since that magical Memorial Cup run, Peterson has waged a battle that goes well beyond the ice. Fortunately, recent medical advancements have allowed him to live with a drastic reduction in Parkinson's symptoms. But the hard road that got him here was made smoother by the help of his friends in the sport, most notably these two players.
"They've both called me. I see Marian all the time because we play against Chicago so much. [He] always asks how I'm doing. Andy Ference is just a great person. He knows where his roots are from," Peterson said. "It's very special that they turned out the way they did. Andy Ference may not be a superstar but for his size and how hard he plays he's a superstar in my book. Marian Hossa is going to be a Hall of Famer, and he's a hall of famer as a person, which is more important."
Considering all that Peterson has been through, it's easy to see how the kindness of these two former players can mean so much. Which is why he simply can't pick a favorite in the Cup Final.
"One of them is going to get their second Stanley Cup. I don't know who to cheer for," Peterson said. "It's too bad both of them can't win, but it's pretty cool that they're both in it."

Lamar Odon has checked himself into rehab.
The 33-year-old basketball star was arrested and charged with DUI in Los Angeles on Friday following weeks of speculation surrounding his marriage to Khloe Kardashian and his alleged drug abuse – and now it appears he's taking action to get clean.
A source tells People.com, "He realized he needs help."
Odom has admitted to drug use in the past – he violated NBA drug policies in 2001 and spoke candidly of his marijuana use in 2003.
Kardashian has refused to comment about reports suggesting she had led an intervention to prompt her husband to seek help, and that they were living apart at the time of his arrest last week.

Don Imus
Name at birth: John Donald Imus, Jr.
Don Imus is the grumpy and controversial host of the nationally-syndicated Imus in the Morning radio show. Imus started his career as a radio deejay in California in 1968 and moved to New York in 1971. After a stint in Cleveland he returned to New York, where he gained a reputation as a loose cannon who often favored crude humor. After highly-publicized battles with cocaine and alcohol, Imus reshaped his Imus In the Morning show in 1988. He stopped spinning records and turned the show into a forum for news, political issues, charitable causes and sharp-tongued parodies, with an emphasis on biting humor and cranky off-the-cuff comments by "the I Man," as his on-the-air cohorts called him. The show originated at station WFAN in New York City, became nationally syndicated in 1993, and eventually was simulcast on cable TV channel MSNBC. Imus in the Morning was canceled in April of 2007 after Imus described the Rutgers University women's basketball team on the air as "nappy-headed hos." Imus later apologized, calling his own words "thoughtless and stupid," but the apology wasn't enough to save his job. However, he returned to the air with Imus in the Morning in December 2007, this time on ABC Radio Networks.
On 16 March 2009, Imus told his radio listeners that he had been diagnosed with stage II prostate cancer. He said the disease had been caught early and that "the prognosis couldn't be better"… Imus has had a long-standing public feud with fellow DJ Howard Stern… Imus served in the U.S. Marine Corps from 1957 to 1959.

High Noon
|High Noon
Carl Johnson hands the dossier over to Eddie Pulaski
|GTA San Andreas
|Eddie Pulaski
|Las Brujas, Bone County, San Andreas
Saint Mark's Bistro (with Madd Dogg
Green Goo
|Unlocked by
High Noon is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas, given to protagonist Carl Johnson by the C.R.A.S.H. team from the ghost town of Las Brujas in Bone County, San Andreas.
Carl waits for Frank Tenpenny and his colleagues to arrive at Las Brujas to retrieve the dossier Carl got earlier. A cop vehicle approaches and C.R.A.S.H. emerges. As Jimmy Hernandez points a gun at Carl and Eddie Pulaski is handed over the dossier, Carl wants to know if he is done with meddling around with the affairs of C.R.A.S.H., much to the surprising positive support of Pulaski. Tenpenny suddenly attacks Hernandez with a shovel, accusing him of selling them out to Internal Affairs. Tenpenny then orders Carl to dig the grave, implying that Carl will be digging his own grave as well. Tenpenny then leaves Pulaski alone to supervise Carl.
As Carl digs the grave under the watchful eye of Pulaski, he tries to convince Pulaski that Tenpenny is using all of them, and that Pulaski will be killed next. Pulaski does not believe him when suddenly, Hernandez regains consciousness and lunges at Pulaski. Pulaski dodges and shoots Hernandez, his body falling into the grave. Pulaski then tries to flee in his Buffalo, but Carl chases him through the desert in a Bandito. During the chase Pulaski taunts Carl, insulting his sister and mother. Carl eventually wrecks Pulaski's vehicle enough to force him out. A bloodied Pulaski ask for one last request - if he can have sex with Carl's sister; however, Carl has had more than enough of his tomfoolery and kills him with a final vicious stomp to the head.
(C.R.A.S.H. arrives)
Eddie Pulaski: Carl! Hope we didn't keep you waiting, holmes!
Carl Johnson: Nah, I was just chillin'.
Eddie Pulaski: Ha, I bet you were. That the dossier? Hand it over.
Carl Johnson: Hey, everything cool now?
Frank Tenpenny: I don't know, Carl. Eddie?
Eddie Pulaski: Our boy's done good!
(Tenpenny knocks out Hernandez)
Frank Tenpenny: YOU SNITCH PIECE OF SHIT! YOU VATO ASSHOLE! YOU SOLD US OUT! Time to dig, Carl. You Pulaski, take care of things.
Eddie Pulaski: Whuh - where you going?
Frank Tenpenny: To get drunk and get laid - you got a problem with that?
Eddie Pulaski: No, Frank. Relax.
Frank Tenpenny: Good. I'll see you back at the precinct. And I'll see YOU in the next life, Carl.
(Pulaski supervising Carl)
Eddie Pulaski: All right, that's good - that's deep enough for two.
Carl Johnson: Eddie, Tenpenny's just using you, he's using all of us. You're the next one he's gonna silence, man.
Eddie Pulaski: Shut the fuck up, scum! And it's Officer Pulaski to you!
(Pulaski shoots Hernandez, who has just regained consciousness and lunged at him)
Eddie Pulaski: Fucking die!!
(while trying to shoot Eddie's escape car)
Carl Johnson: Hey Eddie! You know that Tenpenny gonna rub you out too.
Eddie Pulaski: Carl, you got it wrong pal! Tenpenny was the one saving your ass! Every time I'd want to get rid of you, he'd find some excuse to keep you alive. Well, now it's up to me, and I ain't such fucking soft touch. Well, how's your sister? I always had a thing for her. Tenpenny and I got some great shots of her and her varrio boyfriend going at it like a couple of horny Chihuahuas. Man, does she put out like a pro!
Carl Johnson: Screw you Pulaski! I know what you're trying to do, and you ain't gonna crawl inside my head.
Eddie Pulaski: I ain't kidding! It's the best stake-out I ever done! Carl, you should have seen your mom before she was buried. She was a real mess - most of her face was hanging off!
Carl Johnson: Don't fucking talk about my moms!
Eddie Pulaski: The boys, you know, they fooled around with her at the scene, you know... touching her, joking around and shit.
Carl Johnson: Fuck you, Pulaski, FUCK YOU!
Eddie Pulaski: Heh heh heh!
(Carl at a dying Pulaski)
Carl Johnson: Not feeling so fucking full about yourself now, huh?
Eddie Pulaski: Well, them's the breaks ... fuck...
Carl Johnson: Any last requests?
Eddie Pulaski: Yeah... can I fuck your sister?
Carl Johnson: You a asshole to the end. Punk motherfucker!
(Carl kills Pulaski with a kick to the head)
- Though Pulaski is killed in this mission, he is still described as 'believed to be on the run' by a television reporter during coverage of Tenpenny's trial in the mission Riot, implying that his body was not found.
- If Pulaski crashes his car into the river west of Fort Carson, the cut scene where CJ kicks him in the head will not play. Pulaski will simply drown and the player will receive a 'Mission Passed!' message.
- If, by any reason, Pulaski's car blows up in the chase, he will still be leaning on his car, which is strangely in perfect condition.
- If Pulaski leaves his vehicle for any reason (like catching fire), he will fire at CJ with a Desert Eagle.
- It is unknown how Pulaski's Buffalo appears at Las Brujas, as he arrived in a police car with the others.
- The police car in which Tenpenny and Pulaski arrive in has different alloys compared with normal police cars.
There is no monetary reward for this mission, however, the mission Saint Mark's Bistro is unlocked, if the missions Freefall, Green Goo and Madd Dogg are done.
Frank Tenpenny injures Jimmy Hernandez with a shovel after revealing he knew he sold them out.
Hernandez recovers momentarily and attempts to attack Eddie Pulaski, who shoots and kills him.
Carl Johnson chases Pulaski.

Author Notes: I rarely eat alone, but when it happens all my lust to cook is gone. I love to cook for friends, my partner and family but when it's just me I try to make something fast which makes little dishes. I can't make something unhealthy or take out something, also premade things never entered the house so egg or pasta are the first things that pop into mind.
Egg it is this time… I made this egg in a bit of a Greek style since I saw some beautiful pictures of one of the Greek islands not so long ago with beautiful fresh food and ingredients which made me want to explore that country myself. This is a bit of a foretaste.
—Janneke Verheij
Serves: 1
handful chestnut mushrooms
black olives
semi sun dried tomatoes
small red onion
garlic clove
teaspoon dried oregano
Fettah cheese (goat)
pepper, salt, parsley
- Preheat the oven to 180C. Cut the onions in half rings, cut the garlic small, the mushrooms in quarters and the tomatoes in two.
- I use a terracotta oven dish which I also put on the fire to bake the onion before I put it in the oven (less dishes). Put some oil of the semi dried tomatoes in the dish and bake the onions until soft, add the mushrooms, the garlic and bake until the garlic smells lovely and the mushrooms have a little bit of a brown edge. Add the tomatoes and the olives and mix everything together.
- In a bowl mix the eggs with the oregano, pepper and salt. Be easy on the salt, we will add cheese later which makes the dish saltier already.
- Add the egg in the oven dish and mix everything together. Put nice chunks of fettah cheese on the egg and place it in the oven. Bake until the egg is set, this will take about 10 minutes. Garnish with some parsley and eat with a nice and crunchy fresh bread or some rocket on the side.
- Make sure that when you put your terracotta dish on the fire that you start with the lowest fire or it will break. If you want to be really careful, you can put it in water one hour before you use it but always heat it slowly.

In addition I enjoy this story because at the end there is a big surprise. I also love Stinket, Jamie's dog. She so cute. I remember when I was in first grade, me and my sister used to find lost dogs all the time. One came to our bus stop and we saw a police car nearby so we took the dog to it.

Race: Men
Faction: Sofa King
Class: Warlord
Rank and Titles: Duke
Special: Noble, Leadership
Proposed Canon
"The Sofa King is Sofa-King finished here."
Strengths: ?
Weaknesses: Keeping His Cool, Contributing
First Appearance: TBFGK 49
Duke Nozzle was a warlord in service of the side of Sofa King during the Battle for Gobwin Knob. He was the representative of his Side to the war council of the Royal Crown Coalition, and was ultimately croaked by Sizemore and his golems.
Duke Nozzle's livery is orange and purple, with no obvious emblems.
Duke Nozzle does not have a notable presence in the early portion of the Battle for Gobwin Knob. He is seen at the various meetings of the leadership of the Royal Crown Coalition, but like the others does not add anything obviously significant. His direct participation in the story begins when Jetstone troops fail to take the Tunnels under Gobwin Knob, and are subsequently massacred, uncroaked, and placed as defenders on the Outer Walls. The Duke then displays extreme dissatisfaction with Prince Ansom, threatening to leave the coalition, but Ansom demands he stay. The Duke accedes to the request, and his troops move on the Outer Walls.
As a leadership Unit, Duke Nozzle was a target for Sizemore and his golems during the siege of the Outer Walls of Gobwin Knob. In a surprise attack, Duke Nozzle (along with Georgia Power) was shocked and crapped which croaked him. He has not yet been shown among the decrypted, suggesting that his corpse was destroyed either by the explosion of the Crap Golem or the volcano later.

CARPENTERSVILLE – As many successful businesses often do, ScholarBuys started in a basement.
And as many successful businesses have had to do in recent years, ScholarBuys has flourished despite a tanked economy. It started up in fall 2007, just as the recession kicked in.
Co-founders Matt Ryan of Huntley and Bob Smith of Elmhurst had worked together previously in software licensing, but were let go by that company.
"Bob had a baby on the way and I had a 6-month-old at home," Ryan said. "It was definitely a scary time, but you've got to take some risk to reap the rewards, and it's definitely worked out for us."
ScholarBuys partners with academic consortia throughout the country and negotiates agreements with technology publishers.
"Our primary focus is higher-education independent colleges," said Ryan, who serves as vice president of operations and marketing. "We outfit their entire campus with licensing for products, such as Microsoft and Adobe."
Reasons for growth include a partnerships with North Carolina Independent Colleges and Universities, and the Federation of Independent Illinois Colleges.
"We're kind of their technology arm," Smith said. He is the company's vice president of sales. "We work with manufacturers to recognize these schools that all share a common bond."
This allows for special pricing that the schools would not receive on their own, he said.
The fact that the business started during a poor economy was advantageous in that schools are trying to save money in any way possible to stretch their budgets, Ryan said.
"We pretty much were confident that if we went ahead with this plan, we'd be in good shape," he said. "We started out in my basement and we were profitable in about six weeks."
Entirely self-funded with a start-up budget of about $15,000, ScholarBuys was named on Inc. 5000's list of the fastest growing companies in America in 2012.
"Our first year we did around $4.4 million [in revenue] and our most recent year, 2012, finished around $11.4 million," Ryan said.
They've also added six more employees for a total of eight. Three are on the operations and marketing side and five are in sales.
There are plans to expand.
"That's always a challenge, finding the right fit," Ryan said. "The majority of the folks we have working for us are new to the job market, recent grads. All of us have at least a bachelor's degree."
Smith said they've been able to watch their employees grow alongside the company, buying homes in the area.
ScholarBuys started in Ryan's basement, but has moved around a few places and landed in a much better-suited space in the Otto Engineering building on Main Street in Carpentersville.
They don't plan to move anytime soon.
"I think there's room to grow here," Ryan said. "With what Otto has done to the downtown area, they made it attractive to stay."

What: A reseller of computer software and hardware that negotiates agreements between publishers and consortia.

Cole still in Hodgson's thinking
Roy Hodgson says he has "enormous faith" in Ashley Cole, but he has told the full-back he will have to fight hard for his place in England's World Cup squad.
Cole has been England's number one left-back for over a decade but has come under increasing pressure from Leighton Baines in recent years thanks to the 28-year-old's excellent form with Everton.
Cole's place in the Chelsea team has come under threat too.
The 32-year-old has sat on the bench in the last two games, with manager Jose Mourinho preferring to field right-footed Cesar Azpilicueta at left-back.
Hodgson oversaw Cole's move into the 100-cap club earlier this year and insists he has faith in the player, but the England manager also knows he has a plethora of options in his position.
"I'm still very happy to consider Ashley Cole as a potential English left-back," the England manager said.
"But the competition for that spot is particularly fierce because Baines is also playing well and on top of that we have Kieran Gibbs and Luke Shaw, two younger players who I think can definitely put these more senior ones under some pressure.
"I would definitely not be concerned, if there were no Ashley Cole or Leighton Baines, about Gibbs or Shaw playing."
Cole put in a stunning performance to help keep Ukraine at bay on a testing night in Kiev two months ago.
While there is no doubt about the Chelsea man's defensive capabilities, Baines showed that he offers much more going forward in the recent games against Poland and Montenegro, which England needed to win to qualify for Brazil.
Cole, who made his England debut some 12-and-a-half years ago, has been assured that he will play the whole of either Friday's game against Chile or the clash with Germany four days later, however.
"I will use one in one game and one in the other," Hodgson added.
"They don't know yet which game one is going to play in.
"I do have enormous faith in both of them. I think they are fantastic quality players and when they get on the field, it's good they play 90 minutes.
"I don't think there would be much point in playing them for 45 minutes."
Frank Lampard has been through thick and thin with the defender at club and international level, and he is sure his team-mate will win his place back soon.
"I don't think he's lost form. I think it's modern times at Chelsea. We all have to take it on the chin, being on the bench," said the Chelsea midfielder, who has played less over the last couple of years as age has caught up with him.
"It's not being dropped, it's about being patient. Over a long season that's what happens. Sometimes a lot's made out of it.
"We all under-performed at Newcastle (where Chelsea lost 2-0), the manager said he could have dropped anyone. I wouldn't pinpoint it on that.
"We all know Ash is a top quality player. Leighton has got there on his performances as well, but we're talking about Chelsea here. It's not easy for our manager to pick one player in any position for every game of the season."

Too many patterns?
Meanwhile, here's another pattern I've been working on. I think I'm still going though a houses phase because I'd love to do a really great houses pattern for fabric, but am not quite satisfied with what I've come up with so far. I think this one is more apt for kids fabric, but I'd like to do a more grown-up version:

Starship Eternia
The Starship Eternia was Primus' greatest spacecraft, but was outlawed and stored underground when the shield was erected. When they needed to travel to Denebria, the starship was resurrected for the purpose, as it was the only ship that could get that far. It also possesses every weapons system imaginable, including a shadow shield stealth cloak, and the pride of the Primus Space Force. Upon returning to Primus after the starship's first new successful outing, Hydron and Icarus told He-Man that they wished to name the starship after He-Man's homeworld, thus it became known as Starship Eternia.

Press Release, November 19th, 2012
New QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ Imaging Software Provide Full Range of Capabilities for Improved Productivity and Workflow
3DISC, a manufacturer of digital imaging solutions, will introduce its next-generation QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ Imaging Software at the 2012 Radiological Society of North America (RSNA) meeting in Chicago Nov. 25–30 (Booth #4406). Quantor+ Imaging Software provides facilities using 3DISC's family of FireCR+ Medical and Veterinary Readers with optimized image acquisition, processing, and management capabilities.
With QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ Imaging Software, image acquisition is supported by a comprehensive list of exams and anatomies. To optimize images, technicians can crop, etch, enhance, increase brightness and contrast, and perform other adjustments. The software includes an updated color scheme, with a dark background that offers maximum contrast when viewing images and is easier on the eyes of technicians, radiologists, and veterinarians. It also features improved organization of controls and grouping of functionality for work list, exam, and study list buttons for fast, intuitive operation, and a visible navigation bar is available at all times to guide users through workflow.
Thomas Weldingh, CEO of 3DISC Europe, said, "With our next-generation software and unique touch-screen interface, image acquisition, processing, and management have never been easier. Facilities can use the DICOM-compliant interface to download patient and exam information from a work list, which can be automatically matched, eliminating the need for data entry, or manually input patient and exam information. For facilities without a HIS, RIS, or PACS, a local database enables direct management of patients and studies—DICOM and non-DICOM images can be viewed on the same workstation they were acquired on."
Weldingh said the embedded viewing tool allows for immediate diagnosis and contains basic tools such as distance- and angle-measurements, drawings, and other features, and QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ are available in a variety of languages. Users can complete their imaging software solution with an optional advanced viewer module—the QuantorView—allowing them to view images via a network or the Internet, and send them in DICOM format directly from the imaging software into QuantorView.
Sigrid Smitt-Jeppesen, CEO of 3DISC Americas, said the introduction of QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ Imaging Software is part of a larger story being told by 3DISC at this year's RSNA, including the launch of a line of FireCR+M Readers for medical and veterinary use that scan a full range of the most used cassette sizes, along with the debut of the FireCR Dental Reader.
"3DISC is at the forefront in providing a wide variety of CR readers and software options so that customers can tailor solutions that meet their exact needs," Smitt-Jeppesen said. "Whether a busy radiology department or practice needing fast imaging speed; a large but space-challenged clinic; a podiatry, orthopedic, veterinary, or dental practice; or a smaller radiology department with a tight budget but plans to grow—3DISC Imaging provides solutions to meet our customers' current needs, along with flexibility that helps them grow.
QuantorMed+ and QuantorVet+ Imaging Software, along with the FireCR+M Medical and Veterinary Readers, will be available worldwide in the first quarter of 2013.
About 3DISC Imaging
3DISC specializes in quality imaging products for the medical, dental, chiropractic, and veterinary markets. Its products are based on innovative concepts that provide highly productive, compact devices and software solutions that deliver uncompromising image quality at an affordable price. The company has quickly developed strong distribution networks in the United States and Europe, making its leading-edge products available to a growing number of hospitals, clinics, specialty practices, and satellite facilities seeking flexibility that lets them grow.

The Departments of Justice Studies offers many courses via distance learning (DL). The Department of Justice Studies Bachelor of Science degree programs in Criminal Justice and Legal Studies are available through distance as well as on campus in the College of Arts & Sciences. Students with an AA degree, or transfer credits from another college or university, can complete the upper division courses (60 credit hours) on-line. These degrees are offered via the Internet to assist professionals that may be on shift work, or have work and family obligations that preclude their attending campus courses. We find that 80% of our students take courses both on-campus and online, while 20% of our students never come to campus and receive all their courses via the Internet. To view a list of current and upcoming Internet courses and technical information click on the Schedule and Technical Support links on the left.
The Department of Public Affairs in the College of Arts and Sciences also offers the majority of its courses in an Internet-based format, enabling many students to complete most of their degree requirements via distance learning. Courses incorporate Internet technology such as electronic readings, web boards, and chat rooms, in some cases supplemented by optional discussion sessions held on the FGCU campus. Students may register for one or more courses per semester, selecting from the distance courses scheduled each term. Eligibility requirements include adequate home computer system and Internet service capacities for completing Internet based coursework.
Special Note: in each of the MPA program's core courses, students who have less than one year of full-time professional work experience in the public or not-for-profit sectors are required to supplement their internet-based work in the courses by attending two to four sessions conducted on the FGCU campus. These supplemental on-campus sessions in the core courses will be offered during the evening or on weekends. Check the course schedule on Gulfline for the times and dates of the on-campus sessions. These pre-professional students also must complete a 3-credit MPA internship (PAD 6940). The MPA Admissions Committee will determine whether or not an applicant's work experience satisfies these requirements.

AMD FirePro V5800 and V3800 Review - Evergreen completes the sweep
The rest of the Evergreen FirePro lineup
Evergreen Summation
Earlier this month AMD launched the FirePro V8800 graphics card, the first professional level GPU using the latest Evergreen architecture. With it came a new high in professional graphics performance when compared to the likes of NVIDIA's Quadro FX 4800 and the previous generation of the FirePro, the V8700. When we were briefed by AMD on these new cards in March we knew about the entire line of Evergreen-based FirePro but couldn't divulge the information just then. Today we can and I will be sharing specification details, performance numbers and pricing on just about every stepping of card for the updated FirePro series.
First though, if you haven't read about the Evergreen architecture and what it offers the professional graphics market, a couple notes:
of CAD and digital content creation. Here the unique features of the
V8800 and the Evergreen GPU, specifically the implementation of
multi-monitor support with Eyefinity, offer up a wide selection of
options for developers and designers. As a multiple monitor user myself
I can tell you that once you go with more than one display it is nearly
impossible to go any other way.
A single FirePro card with a four
display outputs could also be used to power a 4k projector; a task PC
Perspective would be more than willing to demonstrate should we find
ourselves holding just such a projector. Seriously though the FirePro
line with Eyefinity support has the potential to drastically lower the
cost of ultra high resolution displays.
Last week AMD also proudly announced that they were the first graphics
vendor to offer an OpenGL 4.0 driver - a fact that at the time was not
very compelling to us as gamers. However, for the professional
development world that is often a step ahead (and much more focused on
OpenGL) this new driver function could be very important and is another
selling point for the latest iteration of FirePro offerings.
Though it is only one card in a family, the AMD FirePro V8800 is the
only option being shown off here today. As I said above, gamers will
find the specifications of it pretty familiar: Cypress GPU, 1600 stream
processors, an 825 MHz clock speed and 1150 MHz clock rate on the 2GB of
GDDR5 memory. The V8800 will support up to four simultaneous displays
with the four included DisplayPort connections and will also include the
professional-level stereoscopic synchronization connection.
(For more information on the Evergreen series of GPUs behind the new
FirePro cards, check out or first
review of the GPU in its desktop form here.)
For more details on the FirePro V8800, check out my review of that card from earlier in April.
AMD nearly completes the FirePro line
As I mentioned above, we have already discussed and tested the V8800, the current top of the line professional graphics card from AMD. It featured basically the same specs as the consumer Radeon HD 5870 including 1600 stream processors, an 825 MHz clock speed and 1150 MHz GDDR5 memory. The main difference is the inclusion of a 2GB frame buffer rather than the 1GB seen on the majority of Radeon cards. But what about the rest of the line?
There is another card being announced today from AMD: the FirePro 2460 Multi-View card that offers four display outputs on a half-height card. For more details on that check out my separate news post on it!
For our testing AMD provided us with both a V5800 and V3800 in addition to the V8800 we tested earlier in the month. Let's take a look at the latest FirePro cards!
Video News
I like reading about the AMD FirePro V5800 and V3800 reviews. I think those who want to get these graphic cards may need to read the reviews first before deciding whether to buy them. There are so many reviews of web sites and IT products. I think there are also reviews on Groupon and its clones.

|Wait... what?
So with that wonderful experience behind me I went out egg hunting. Until this point I hadn't bothered looking for the Onyx Eggs but I came across a few and handed them in and finally got my Cloud Serpent! I'm a little sad that you can't ride them on other characters as I bought the other two colours and was hoping to use a different one on my Hunter and Paladin. Oh well, Korla worked for them so I guess it's only fair that she's the only one that gets to use them!

Eagles anxious to begin World Cup campaign
MOSCOW, Russia - The Women's Eagles Sevens squad, along with 15 other nations, begin their 2013 Rugby World Cup Sevens campaign on Saturday, June 29, at the Gorodok and Luzhniki Stadiums in Moscow, Russia.
It has been a very busy year for the Eagles, who competed in the inaugural Women's Sevens World Series - taking part in four tournaments around the globe in Dubai, USA, China and the Netherlands. The Eagles delighted fans by reaching the Cup final on American soil at the Houston Sevens, and finished the season in fourth place behind New Zealand, England and Canada.
The elevated competition of the Series, along with the USA Rugby residency program, has paved the way for the program's success.
"Training year round at the Olympic Training Center in Chula Vista has been extremely beneficial," said Head Coach Ric Suggitt. "Having the World Series tournaments has been excellent, and now they are talking about increasing the number of events, which is what we want."
Meanwhile in Moscow, the build-up for this young squad has been all about acclimating to the conditions.
The women have been in Moscow since Sunday and as USA Eagles Sevens captain Vanesha McGee explained, the team is working through the obvious challenges in preparation for the weekend.
"This week we have been training in the humidity trying to get used to that, as its pretty different from where we train normally in San Diego, California. We've also recovering from the flight, taking in lots of fluids, getting our body ready for this weekend."
"We feel really good," explained McGee. "Everyone's excited and anxious for the tournament to get started."
The Eagles will face opponents Brazil, Fiji and Spain in their pool outings on day one.
"There are no games that are easy," expressed Suggitt. "Our first game against Brazil we need to come out and play the game we are capable of. Then Fiji is unknown, they have a new coach, and they are always exciting to play against - whether it's the men or the women. Spain has been a real battle for us, and the last three times we have played them it has been decided in the last play of the game. We're really looking forward to day one."
Captain McGee echoed her coach, and added that: "overall we've changed a few things, but our general game plan as far as playing fast and aggressive is going to stay the same. Spain does match up well with us, and we've had some really good fights against them. We definitely expect this one to be even tougher than the past encounters. We're looking forward to it and expect it to be a good end to day one."
The Eagles have had several excellent field training sessions at the Luzhniki Olympic Complex, they've worked hard in the gym, and enjoyed some recovery time in the pool. The team atmosphere is relaxed, and the group is ready for their World Cup campaign.
"I hope the players really enjoy themselves and play the way they are capable of playing. They've trained really really hard and they deserve this opportunity to represent their country," smiled Suggitt.
The Eagles finished their 2009 Rugby World Cup Sevens campaign with a thrilling semifinal match against New Zealand. The Kiwis held on for a 14-12 victory, but the Eagles gave a fantastic performance, finishing inside the top four teams. They will be looking to go one step further this time round, and win the World Cup.
Currently, the International Rugby Board (IRB) will not be broadcasting matches at the Gorodok Stadium, which means only the Eagles clash with Spain at 12.00 PM E.T on Saturday June 29 inside Luzhniki Stadium will be aired on the IRB's website as well as broadcast on Universal Sports. Coverage on Universal Sports will begin on June 29 at 1:00AM E.T. and June 30 at 1:30AM E.T.

The Bird. Turtle. The Backstroke King.
They are known as three of Newport Harbor High's greatest athletes. Newport Harbor's "Big Three" can also be known as among the best in CIF Southern Section history.
George Yardley (basketball), Misty May-Treanor (volleyball) and Aaron Peirsol (swimming) are featured in the CIF Southern Section's "100 Athletes for 100 years," and represent the inaugural CIF Southern Section Athletes Hall of Fame, it was announced Monday.
Each of the Sailors' athletes hold a special place in Newport Harbor's Long Gray Line, and went on to reach stardom in the NBA for Yardley, and with Olympic gold for May-Treanor and Peirsol.
The list of 100 for the section's 100th anniversary was based on athletes who competed in the CIF Southern Section and ranged from success at all levels (high school, collegiate, Olympic and professional ranks).
"It says a lot about the area and the school itself," Newport Harbor High girls' volleyball coach Dan Glenn said of Newport Harbor having three athletes on the CIF Southern Section list. "It's very impressive."
Glenn has a strong connection with the three stars. He coached May-Treanor. Perisol was a student in his classroom. Glenn also knew Yardley, as well as his children and coached his grandchildren, Kyle and Cody Caldwell at Newport Harbor.
"We're in an area where there are a lot of elite athletes who train here," Glenn said. "The kids are aware of that and they grow up and see that in the area."
May-Treanor made the list as a 1995 grad of Newport Harbor. After leading the Sailors to two CIF State championships she won an NCAA title at Long Beach State, where she was named NCAA Player of the Year. She later became a beach volleyball legend.
She has three Olympic gold medals and one bronze, and has a women's record 112 beach tournament victories during a pro career that began in 1999. Her career winnings were listed at more than $2.1 million.
She teamed up with Kerri Walsh Jennings for the London Olympics this past summer and the duo won their third straight Olympic gold medal.
They defeated a team that featured another Newport Harbor great, April Ross, along with Jennifer Kessy in the gold-medal match.
May-Treanor and Walsh Jennings won gold medals at the 2008 Beijing and 2004 Athens Games. They dominated the sport in the Olympics, as the won every match they competed in and lost just one of 43 sets.
May-Treanor's popularity reached celebrity status, as she's made appearances on various TV shows, including, "Dancing With the Stars," and also made it on the Wheaties box.
She went out on top, retiring after the Olympics. She was named USA Volleyball's Athlete of the Year in women's beach volleyball.
"She always made everyone around her better," Glenn said of May-Treanor.
He said he enjoyed the way May-Treanor treated everyone the same and how she remained the same person while gaining popularity in volleyball.
Glenn said Peirsol was the same as a renown swimmer.
"I enjoyed having him in class," Glenn said of Peirsol. "He was very humble. Fantastic student."
Peirsol won five Olympic gold medals in swimming, specializing in the backstroke. He still holds world records in the 100-meter backstroke (51.94) and 200 back (1:51.92) for long course.
He led Newport Harbor to its first CIF Southern Section Division 1 team championship, when he won two individual titles and was on two winning freestyle relays.
He also went on to star for two years at the University of Texas.
Peirsol won three gold medals in the 2004 Olympics, sweeping the 100 and 200 back and contributing to the 400 medley relay victory. He won two gold medals in the 2008 Olympics in the 100 back, which was a world-record swim. He was also a part of the 400 medley relay team that set a world record.
He won 10 long-course world titles as well as six world titles in short-course races.
He started out as a youth competitor for the Harbor View Swim Team where he broke several age-group records.
"When I look back on my career I can smile," Peirsol told The Daily Pilot in February of 2001, after announcing his retirement.
Yardley is revered for his prowess on the hardwood, and later became a fixture in the Newport Beach community. He is in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame.
The late Yardley, who passed away in the summer of 2004, was known as "The Bird," in his playing days. After starring at Newport Harbor, where he graduated in 1946, he went on to basketball stardom at Stanford and the NBA. The 6-foot-5 forward was named an All-Star six times in seven seasons, playing for the Fort Wayne and Detroit Pistons.
He retired from the NBA at 31 after seven years with a lifetime average of 19.2 points and 8.9 rebounds per game.
He was the first to score as many as 2,000 points in a single season in the NBA, breaking the mark of George Mikan of the Minneapolis Lakers.

I've been attending a conference for my continuing education (I still love going to school) and one of the topics was "Universal Cholesterol Screening in Children." While adults have known the importance of maintaining a healthy cholesterol level for a long time, there's more and more data available validating the need for children to have their cholesterol monitored.
Current guidelines issued by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute, which are also endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics, recommend that all children, regardless of family history, have either a non-fasting total cholesterol and HDL level screening or a fasting lipid panel performed between the ages of 9 and 11, and again between the ages of 17 and 21.
The recommendations previously supported screening cholesterol levels for children with a family history of elevated cholesterol levels, or those with familial risk factors for coronary artery disease. Knowing that coronary artery disease is the leading cause of death in the U.S., and also realizing that coronary artery disease really begins in childhood, modifying risk factors in childhood will hopefully lead to a reduction in coronary artery disease later in life. One risk factor is an elevated cholesterol level.
What is a healthy cholesterol level for a child? A non-fasting lipid panel should look at total cholesterol minus the HDL cholesterol, which gives a non-HDL cholesterol total. Current guidelines recommend that the non-HDL cholesterol should be 145mg/dl and the HDL should be 40 mg/dl. If a fasting lipid panel is used, the LDL should be 130 mg/dl, HDL 40 mg/dl and non-HDL cholesterol 145 mg/dl.
The guidelines also state that if the cholesterol is abnormal a repeat screen should be done two weeks to three months after the first screening, and the results should be averaged before deciding on further investigation or treatment.
Additionally, risk factors such as a family history of obesity, high blood pressure, smoking, Kawasaki disease and early coronary artery disease or sudden cardiac death which should also be considered.
Knowing your child's cholesterol level should help parents institute diet and lifestyle changes for the entire family. If you know your child already has a slightly elevated cholesterol level, work on dietary changes at home. Try limiting your children's fat to 25 percent to 30 percent of total calories, and limit saturated fat to 8 percent to 10 percent of calories, as well as avoiding trans fat. Encourage high fiber foods. Have your child's plate be colorful with a mixture of fruits and vegetables.
Lastly, to help lower cholesterol, build more exercise into your family routine. That's a prescription we doctors should be writing routinely!
I'll have more on cholesterol and the use of statins in children in a future column, so stay tuned!

If you're an IT solutions provider that's considering selling managed services, it won't be long before you're ready to trade in your Excel tracking and ticketing system for something more robust. Many of the PSA offerings on the market today include modules for project management, resource management, CRM (customer relationship management), and knowledge management. Most MSPs will agree that the time and project management savings from a PSA alone are worth several times the cost of the software.
It should be noted, however, that selecting a PSA solution is a serious commitment. Once you make your decision — even if you find out a few months later that you'd like to investigate another PSA — it's probably not going to happen. Because of the long learning curve and time investment required to adequately compare PSA products, we found successful MSPs who have many years of experience working with their respective PSA solutions.
Dale Walls is the president of Corsica Technologies, an MSP who was featured on the cover of our August 2012 issue. Walls has been an Autotask user for the past seven years. We sat down with Walls to talk candidly about the strengths and weaknesses of Autotask. What follows are notes from our conversation, which will help you make a more informed decision as you consider a PSA for your business needs.

President Barack Obama proved you don't need to nibble on cannabis-infused chocolate à la Maureen Dowd to have a weird trip to Colorado.
Here he is shaking the hand of a man dressed as a reverse centaur:
The visit with the "neigh-sayer," of course, immediately flipped the Twitter switch:
From there, we move to the "Obama, he's just like us" phase of the visit.
And, since this is Colorado, he also laughed off an offer for a hit of pot:
All of this went down Tuesday while the president visited downtown Denver. We'll have to wait and see what Wednesday brings, when he's slated to deliver some remarks on the economy. After that, he's apparently off to a political fundraiser.

text: The Verve (originally Verve) were an English rock band formed in Wigan, Greater Manchester in 1990, by vocalist Richard Ashcroft, guitarist Nick McCabe, bassist Simon Jones, and drummer Peter Salisbury. The members had met at Winstanley Sixth Form College. Simon Tong later became a member. Beginning with a psychedelic sound indebted to shoegazing and space rock, by the mid-1990s the band had released several EPs and two acclaimed records. They also endured name and lineup changes, breakups, health problems, drug abuse and various lawsuits. Filter referred to them as "one of the tightest knit, yet ultimately volatile bands in history". The band's commercial breakthrough was the 1997 album Urban Hymns and its single "Bitter Sweet Symphony", which became a massive worldwide hit. Soon after this commercial peak, the band broke up in April 1999, citing internal conflicts. By then, The Verve had become one of the most influential English alternative rock acts in years. The band's original line-up reunited in June 2007. The band embarked on a tour later that year and released the album Forth in August 2008. A year later it was announced that the band had split up for the third time in their career.

The Berkeley-based Grocery Outlet brand, which launched in 1946, started as a military surplus store specializing in closeout merchandise and convenience items. Today, more than 185 independently owned stores across the United States have been serving neighborhoods with quality brand-name products at 40 to 70 percent off conventional grocery store prices.
This winter, Mark and Stephanie Baldwin, along with four of their six children, moved south to warmer climates from Fortuna, California to bring the low-price model to Point Loma and surrounding neighborhoods.
Mark explained the store is able to sell merchandise at such low prices by working with manufacturers to get closeout deals on overstocked or overproduced items, excess promotional goods or obsolete packages.
"Maybe they're shifting from a 32-ounce to a 30.6-ounce package or something has Olympics-themed wrapping [from] when they were pushing the Olympics. The items are perfectly good, they just need to move them along the supply chain and get them out there," he said. "Even though we specialize in closeouts, I want people to understand that we have fresh merchandise."
Although shoppers can certainly complete their shopping trip at the 10,000-square-foot store, the Baldwins explained that the inventory shifts based on what deals are available to them.
"It's always changing, so if you see something that you like, buy it now because it might not be here next week," said Stephanie.
Those who enjoy the treasure hunt will love the store for some of its interesting finds, including items from the store's NOSH (natural, organic, specialty and health) section, fresh produce, wine and beer, health and beauty items, and even a small selection of clothing — all at low prices.
"We're only 10,000 square feet on the sales floor, so we have to use every inch wisely," said Mark. "We don't necessarily have the same skus — skus being the number of items — as big grocers, but you can definitely complete your shopping trip here."
With 30 years of experience in the mainstream-grocery business, Mark knows how grocery stores and their prices operate — and raising six children helped the Baldwins understand the value of a great bargain.
"It's one of our missions to touch lives — to impact people's lives in a positive way," said Mark. "People who deserve a bargain, people who need a bargain, people who just like a bargain."
Coming from the corporate culture of Safeway — the second-largest supermarket chain in the nation — to owning and operating a mom-and-pop-style store is something the pair is looking forward to, they said.
"It's an exciting change for us," said Mark. "You know as an operator, as a merchant, what makes sense and what you should be doing. You're not beholden to stockbrokers. As an operator, I had 130 employees, but I was constantly running administration drills and I had no time to connect with my staff or my customers."
He and Stephanie plan to embrace that owner-operator interface with their customers and facilitate a daily interaction with their team of approximately 30 staff members.
"We really want to set ourselves apart with our customer service and people being able to see the owner-operators on a daily basis. We're going to run a very clean store," said Stephanie. "I want it to feel like they're coming into our home."
Point Loma Grocery Outlet will hold a ribbon-cutting ceremony for employees and staff members on Feb. 13, with a soft opening on Feb. 14. On Feb. 16, the Baldwins will host a grand-opening event to reflect their commitment to serving the community. All proceeds from the event will benefit the Point Loma High School Instrumental Boosters and a palette of merchandise will be donated to Ocean Beach-based food-distribution nonprofit Loaves and Fishes Food Pantry, who the grocers will partner with throughout the year with food drives, discounts on items and weekly donations.
Point Loma Grocery Outlet is located at 3948 W. Point Loma Blvd. For more information, visit www.groceryoutlet.com/pointloma-ca or call (619) 704-1440.

It sure would be interesting, especially if you had a decent modeling tool that would let you plug in cost of money, funding profiles, etc. Jim

Wenger: Blood tests key to war on drugs
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger would welcome blood tests in football and believes current doping controls are not strict enough to catch the drug cheats.
The Lance Armstrong case in cycling and this week's revelations of widespread doping in Australian sport have again put drugs in sport high on the public agenda, and Wenger does not think football can consider itself immune from such underhand practices.
"Honestly, I don't think we do enough, because it is very difficult for me to believe that you have 740 players in the World Cup and you come out with zero problems," said Wenger.
"Mathematically that happens every time, but statistically, even for social drugs, it looks like we could do better and go deeper."
Wenger continued: "When you have a doping control at UEFA, they do not take blood, they take only urine. I have asked many times (at UEFA meetings) in Geneva (for that to be changed).
"Sometimes you have to wait for two hours after the game, so blood could be a lot quicker. We could go much deeper into control. I hope we (in England) do not have a big problem with doping, but we have to try to find out and see how deep we can go into control.
"I would support it. UEFA is ready to do it, but it poses some ethical problems because everyone has to accept that they will check the blood and not everybody is ready to do that."
Wenger feels it is time for those who are found to be involved in doping to give up all they know. Dr Eufemiano Fuentes is currently on trial in Spain following his arrest as part of the Operation Puerto doping case, with the former president of Spanish side Real Sociedad, Inaki Badiola, admitting earlier this week that during 2008 the club made payments to Dr Fuentes for the supply of medicine to the team. Dr Fuentes denies any knowledge of a conspiracy to dope.
"What I am concerned about in the trial of the Spanish doctor is that he is in front of the justice (system) only to see how he did doping - they are not interested at all in whom he has doped," Wenger said. "They have found packets of blood, but they don't even ask to whom does that belong?
"The only thing we know is that the former (president) of Real Sociedad, who came out, is involved in that. The justice should go deeper. When you look at the functions of this doctor it is quite scary - he was involved in the Olympic team, football team, cycling team."
