Most college students admit that their use of smartphones, tablets, and laptops can interfere with learning, but very few consider it more than a minor distraction, according to a new report from Barney McCoy, an associate professor of broadcasting at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL).
More than 80 percent of students surveyed by McCoy said that their use of digital devices can interfere with their learning, but fewer than five percent said it was a big or very big distraction when they or their classmates used them. Only 17 percent of students surveyed said that using digital devices in class was not a distraction.
"I don't think students necessarily think it's problematic," McCoy said in a prepared statement. "They think it's part of their lives."
McCoy surveyed 777 students from UNL the University of Nebraska at Omaha, Morningside College, the University of North Carolina, the University of Kansas, and the University of Mississippi for the study.
Other key findings of the survey include:
Most students, 91 percent, told McCoy that they do not support a ban on devices in the classroom. Instead, at a clip of 72 percent, they said they prefer that the instructor speak to offending students and 65 percent said they preferred warnings for first offenses with penalties following later infractions.

ALLEN PARK, Mich. — The Detroit Lions' shot at a postseason berth ended with a loss to the New York Giants. Their players said not to expect them to go through the motions when they end the regular season on Sunday.
The Lions (7-8) visit Minnesota, and even though both teams are playing their final games, Detroit expects the Vikings to be ready in the final NFL game at Mall of America Field.
"They're going to be ready," guard Rob Sims said. "Even though they've been out of it for a while. This is still a professional league and you still do what you're paid to do."
Lions players remained upbeat days after Detroit missed a chance to keep playoff hopes alive. The 23-20 overtime loss to New York means Chicago and Green Bay will play a winner-take-all game on Sunday for the NFC North title.
Defensive end Israel Idonije, a 10-year veteran, said he and others know changes are coming.
"Players come, players go," he said. "This game is full of transition. You just hope that transition is limited.
"We still have a game to play."
Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said he recently addressed his job status with his players. Frazier's job could be on the line after Minnesota (4-10-1) followed last season's playoff appearance with a last-place finish in the division.
Lions head coach Jim Schwartz, however, did not share any concerns about his job security.
"He didn't say anything," receiver Nate Burleson said. "It's business as usual.
"We still have a game to play, and we need to focus on that. That's what he said. We get paid to play football. It's not our job to worry about what will happen."
It's been widely speculated Schwartz will be fired next week. The Lions started the season 6-3 but lost five of their next six games to fall out of playoff contention. Schwartz guided the Lions to a wild-card appearance after the 2011 season, his third, but Detroit followed with a 4-12 performance that included a season-ending eight-game losing streak in 2012.
Burleson said the Lions are eager to make a strong impression in the season finale.
"It would look even worse to people that still are following this team if we went to Minnesota and mailed it in," he said.

Overview |
The CMU Field Robotics Center (FRC) developed Dante II, a tethered walking robot, which explored the Mt. Spurr (Aleutian Range, Alaska) volcano in July 1994. High-temperature, fumarole gas samples are prized by volcanic science, yet their sampling poses significant challenge. In 1993, eight volcanologists were killed in two separate events while sampling and monitoring volcanoes. The use of robotic explorers, such as Dante II, opens a new era in field techniques by enabling scientists to remotely conduct research and exploration.
Using its tether cable anchored at the crater rim, Dante II is able to descend down sheer crater walls in a rappelling-like manner to gather and analyze high temperature gasses from the crater floor. In addition to contributing to volcanic science, a primary objective of the Dante II program is to demonstrate robotic exploration of extreme (i.e., harsh, barren, steep) terrains such as those found on planetary surfaces. |

I heard them with both of them, but very brief with HDVD800 and I think Conductor is better overall ( and it sure has a better dac implementation ) . With Conductor you can drive any headphones. With HDVD800 that is not the case from what I heard (Audeze & HDVD800 = disaster)
DarKu can tell you more on the subject. He did the review on it.
While I am glad Darku rendered a review of the HDVD 800, it would have been a bit more informative if rendered in English. I know I have seen him write in English before.

Cool! Let me know when you would want to meet up and where. I live in South Everett too. I should be available for any time really. you can text me at 530-908-8354.
Thanks for responding!
It's$32 for 1.25 hrs. Weekend reservations can be tough to get. As for outdoor courts, there are some new ones at Jefferson park that look nice. The only other I have played is at a park near my house, but they are not that good.
Cool man. I live on the south side of Seattle. Where/ when are you available to play? What is your skill level? I am not sure what NTRP rankings mean. I may not be at your level, I would say I am slightly better than beginner/amateur level.

Electromechanical cylinders offer plug-and-play capability
SKF® electromechanical cylinders (EMC) offer plug-and-play capability suitable for robotic spot welding gun applications. According to the company, the all-electric cylinders provide precise motion, speed, force, and position to allow an optimum number of welds quickly and with reproducible quality. Compact versions (CEMC) are available to reduce space requirements.
The patented technology is based on a planetary roller screw and servo drive. Working in combination with a nut, the roller screw works to drive the stroke and converts rotary motion into linear movement with a quick response time and low energy consumption, the company reports. The cylinders are designed for simplified integration into robotic gun assemblies; to require minimal space; to eliminate complex infrastructure such as hoses, valves, compressed air, and hydraulic oil; to simplify monitoring and diagnostics; to minimize maintenance; and to offer long life and high duty cycles.
Options and accessories for the cylinders can be customized. Applications include automotive, appliance, and metalworking.

That computer also has the ability to go into a 3cyl high idle mode or just a high idle (1000-1200) when iat and ect temps are below 40 degrees.
So being that u have heard high idle, and 3 cyl high idle, maybe your computer is takin a crap on ya. . ?? sended frum dis stoopid fone |

Update: pulled valve cover to check valve train noise...started motor and proceeded to fill it with coolant from the open heater core feed. DOH! Was planning on changing the oil soon....just not THIS soon. Lol.
Soooooooo......on my way home from Walmart with my three gallons of oil, I was surfing the net to see if the computer on the vp44 could be replaced, and ran across a diagnostic write up. There was a section that described my problems almost exactly, which were attributed to the vp44 computer going bad. So that's hopefully the problem. After I changed the oil...decided I should check valve lash clearances...they seem to be pretty tight. Will be adjusting those Saturday. Will let you guys know if and when I get it fixed. Orrrrrrrrrr.....if anyone knows anyone who could fix the computer for me, that would be great :-) |

You can actually but the computer separate from the pump? I didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
Mine just went bad this summer and I ended up replacing the whole pump. 2200.00 of awesomeness! Good luck! sended frum dis stoopid fone |

With all the different posts I've made....i should probably clear everything up...
Idles rough when first started. Once I "clear it out", it idles and runs great, until....it gets warm(operating temp'ish), then the rough idle and smoking start. Like I posted earlier...all signs of rough idle and smoke point to that computer. I just don't know how it could have possibly gone bad just from sitting!

Just beware.....everyone likes to blame any and every problem with these motors on the vp 44 pump.....i had a reputable diesel shop swear up and down two different occasions that my pump was bad and causing my issue...i ignored them both times and good thing i did as they were wrong both times.
How much fuel pressure do you have? |

Flex Is OverRated
You can buy a fuel pressure gauge most anywhere for not much....you need to plumb it into the supply side either right at or just before the injection pump. The lift pump which is responsible for moving fuel from the tank to the injection pump is known to be a junk setup on these trucks....hence the popularity of the fass/airdog setups
Fuel pressure is important because the injection pump uses fuel for internal lubrication. Without good fuel pressure the pump will burn up fast. Dodge spec is like 5psi.....10-15psi is better. |

Maybe a little preemptive, but...got the valves adjusted, and killed the batteries in the process(left the key on[maybe reset the computer?]), and viola! It's running great so far. Beat on it last night, and this morning and it still seems ok.

These actually look pretty attractive imho ;) Do you know who the manufacturer is?
He's an artist, I do not believe he makes more than one piece of each....

From what I know, the three were supposed to go together (the mushroom/wastebin shaped item is a bass module of sorts, I assume (the text "SUPER BASS EXCITER" would seem to support that, but I have no idea what its actual function is, or if it was actually part of the above speakers)).
There's also the Technics Linear Phase series:
I believe the model in the second picture, if memory serves, uses something like a 21 or 22" woofer, and they weigh something like 300 lbs each (to give you some idea about their size).
I've also always found the Indy Aragon amps peculiar looking:
peculiar indeed :)
And with its companion amplifier (on bottom):
And you'll notice the screen is no longer there - it's a removable remote that communicates bi-directionally with the unit. Any settings or adjustments are made from that panel, and all options are visible regardless of the panel's location. Before anyone gets too excited about having this in their living room; it's fairly dated.

FXStreet (London) - Following better than expected US CPI data, USD/JPY has pushed on to post a weekly high at 102.23.
USD/JPY led higher by US inflation data
While the main act this week is undoubtedly the FOMC meet tomorrow, US CPI numbers led the way this afternoon, coming in better than expected
YoY CPI bettering expectations at 2.1%/2% and MoM 0.4%/0.2%. CPI ex Food and Energy also beat expectations too. However, both Housing Starts and Building permits missed forecasts and declined on previous.
The pair had had a choppy start to the days trading, climbing to post an overnight high at 102.02 before retracing into a range throughout the European session. However, US data gave the pair the impetus to crack on higher to post a high at 102.23.
Dating back to June 12th, the pair has faced resistance just above the 102 mark, but managed to get its head above the June 12th and 13th highs at 102.14. Spot has edged back from highs and is finding support at the 1H 200 SMA at 102.20.
USD/JPY Technicals
USD/JPY is up 0.36% on the day at 102.19, having previously posted a daily high at 102.26 and a low at 101.81. The hourly FXStreet OB/OS Index is showing overbought conditions, alongside the FXStreet Trend Index which is slightly bullish.
Meanwhile, daily RSI is in neutral territory at 45.59. Hourly 2-Standard Deviation Volatility Bandwidth is currently 38 pips, and has been expanding, while the ATR (14) is currently 6 pips. On a daily chart, 2-Standard Deviation Volatility Bandwidth is shrinking at 152 pips.
USD/JPY Levels
Current price is 102.20, with resistance ahead at 102.22 (Daily 100 SMA), 102.26 (Daily High), 102.28 (Daily Classic R2), 102.35 (Weekly High) and 102.46 (Daily Classic R3). To the downside we see next support at 102.19 (Hourly 200 SMA), 102.11 (Yesterday's High), 102.10 (Weekly Classic PP), 102.08 (Daily 20 SMA) and 102.06 (Daily Classic R1).

1. iPad If you already have an iPad, it presents the easiest option. The Explain Everything app offers a lot of functionality. A math professor created her entire online course by making basic PowerPoint slides on the computer, getting them on the iPad through dropbox.com, and using a stylus to write out the problems in her handwriting while recording audio. The video can go right on YouTube. Voila. It is not necessary to first create PowerPoint slides, but she wanted a little extra professionalism.
Woman writing on the Wacom Bamboo |
2. Wacom Bamboo. If you have good hand/eye coordination, this could work for you. The problem with the Bamboo is that you write on the device but only see what you are writing on a computer. Many people dislike this. It is the least expensive option though. I used it in my last job and thought it was fine. I had to practice a lot for my handwriting to look good though. The Bamboo requires an additional program such as Screencast-o-matic to actually record the handwriting with audio.
Livescribe Pen |
3. Livescribe Pen. If you need something simpler, the Livescribe pen is a good option because it allows you to write on real paper with a pen and record a tutorial with audio. It is quite simple to use once it's set up on your computer. However, you have to write everything (i.e., cannot add to a document or write on images) which can take a long time. A drawback is the limited options to share/host videos and the inability to edit. CETL has a limited number of Livescribe Pens for UWEC faculty.
Surface Pro |
Dell Latitude XT3 |
5. Convertible Tablet PC. If you have the money, tablet PCs are often the preferred option because they are truly a laptop with the capability to use a pen. They have the yasta to run whatever you need to run and still have a nice big laptop screen and keyboard (compared to the tablet). They can definitely be your one device. However, they are expensive - $1800 is an average price, last I heard.
6. SMART Podium. There are a few old SMART podiums around campus; for instance the math department shares one and two classrooms have them. I currently have one in my office that is looking for a home. They are basically computer monitors that you can write on. You connect them to any computer. They are crazy expensive though - the new ones in the classrooms are about $1800 and that's without a computer. But, it is possible to go into a classroom when it is not being used and record in there. I don't see that being real popular though.

Closing out 2012, and staying in the '50s science fiction mood we've set the last couple of days, here are the final two Jet Powers stories from Jet #2, 1951.
They're drawn by the Bob Powell studio and written by Gardner Fox. You Su Shan fans will be happy to know that Su Shan is featured prominently in "House of Horror." The lead story for the issue can be found at Pappy's #1257.
Tonight, while others revel (for whatever reasons people revel when greeting a new year, which is just a date on the calendar, folks), if past is an indication, I shall be rattling off snores to offset the midnight sounds of my neighbors shooting off fireworks or banging pots. That doesn't mean I won't wish you a happy new year, but be careful and we'll all get back together here on January 2.

New Apps! vnStat, Ajaxterm and LinPHA July 21
After another round of awesome testing by the Testing Team we are proud to announce the release of new applications for Amahi.
We have a bandwidth monitor app, just in case you want to keep tabs on your internet download cap to keep in check, a nice web-based secure shell (SSH) terminal and a good looking photo gallery app.
Read on for more!
vnStat is a tool which is simple to setup and capable of monitoring your incoming and outgoing bandwidth usage. The default port monitored is eth0, however this may be changed manually.
The output allows you to see the bandwidth you've used in a variety of ways, such as by hour, by day, etc. Also, as a bonus it doesn't require the use of root privileges once it has been installed.
Ajaxterm is a web based ssh terminal emulator. It was totally inspired and works almost exactly like Anyterm
Ajaxterm is written in python (and some AJAX javascript for the client side) and depends only on python2.3 or better.
Ajaxterm provides a quick way to access the command line interface on your HDA. No more opening putty or a command prompt, it will all be contained in the browser!
One word of caution is that you should set up https for this app to be fully secure.
LinPHA is an easy to use, multilingual, flexible photo/image archive/album/gallery written in PHP. It uses a MySQL database to store information about your pictures. It's available as a one-click install, so you don't even have to run the web-based installer.
This photo gallery application generates thumbnail images on the fly and stores statistical data about images and comments from visitors in a MySQL database.
Many thanks to all the contributors and testers for all your hard work creating and testing apps!
The Amahi Team

XChristopher Knight has been signed as host of the new TV version of "Trivial Pursuit" premiering Sept. 22. His official bio is so odd-sounding, I had to pass it along. After the jump. (By the way, while the bio details his forays into reality TV, the press release announcing his hosting mentioned only his "Brady Bunch" connection.)
The bio:
Once and forever a Brady! Christopher Knight met life as a child actor, starring as Peter Brady in the TV classic hit show The Brady Bunch. A reluctant icon, Christopher has focused his adult years on interests beyond the entertainment industry, particularly the corporate world of computers and high technology. Yet, due to the omnipresent and flourishing legacy of all things Brady, Christopher's successful endeavors beyond show biz exist in peaceful subordination to his portrayal of Peter and his arguably estimable contribution to American pop culture. So in an act of self-unification, in 2003 Christopher has returned to his entertainment roots and is now once again re-established as an actor, host, spokesperson and erstwhile entertainment figure.
Christopher's corporate existence in his adult years didn't constitute a full retirement from show business – he has starred or otherwise participated in the plethora of periodic Brady films, television movies, series, gatherings, discussions and retrospectives. Christopher also has exploited his status as an entertainment figure by availing himself to several projects as a host and spokesperson, including projects such as the American Counseling Association's 2002 & 2003 "Healthy Skin, Healthy Outlook" campaign that went on to received the Gold Triangle Award both years Knight served as spokesperson. Christopher was also privileged to be the spokesperson for the National Consumer League's "AD/HD Campaign" speaking in Washington DC at the National Press Club on the sensitive subject of AD/HD, as he himself is an adult with ADD. Known as a person of fitness, Christopher was also brought on as the spokesman for a popular personal workout product, Ab Lounge XL® in 2006.
In 2003, Christopher was asked to host a segment on the Travel Channel series' "TV Road Trip" starring the late John Ritter. When the series was optioned for a second cycle Christopher was offered to "Host" the series. It was in fact this participation that lead to the rekindling of Christopher's interest in being in front and behind the camera.
Christopher was soon signed up for the celebrity version of Discovery Health Channel's "Body Challenge," which debuted in the fall of 2004. Soon after, Knight took part in an unforgettable Fourth Season of VH1's hit Surreal Life, which not only boosted his professional image and reinstated his star status, but also lead to a life-altering experience, sparking his high-profile romance with Surreal Life co-star and America's Next Top Model Winner Adrianne Curry, placing Knight squarely back in the spotlight. This new union commanded much interest from the viewing public, eventually yielding the creation of their own Television series, VH1's "My Fair Brady" that chronicled the trials and tribulations of one of America's new favorite celebrity couples. Season I of "My Fair Brady" held to the top spot on the network, ending in an unforgettable marriage proposal from Knight. Captivated audiences numbering in millions demanded more, and more they got, as Season II, titled "My Fair Brady: We're Getting Married!" premiered in May of 2006 kicking off a season that took the couple straight to the Altar the critically acclaimed and much publicized Finale! Drawing on the success of the first two seasons, the now-wed Chris and Adrianne shot yet another season of My Fair Brady, called My Fair Brady, Maybe Baby, that aired on VH1 early this year with a huge finale that took place in early March, 2008.
Grateful at this unique second opportunity at an acting career, Christopher relishes the chance at experiencing celebrity now as a seasoned, experienced, "well-baked" adult. Over the last couple of years, Christopher's on-screen endeavors included special guest appearances on such hit TV shows as FX's "Dirt", FOX's "That 70's Show", WB's "Blue Collar TV", and ABC's "Less Than Perfect" among others. He has also starred as the lead in the independent film, "Light Years Away", co-starring Eric Roberts as well as in the Horror Thriller "Fallen Angels", both released in late 2007. Last, but certainly not least, Knight has been working on several projects with his now wife, model and TV personality Adrianne Curry, projects, that will surely keep his fans glued to the screen for a long time to come.

Dragons Bail on Yet Another Deal
Again, after the Uno letdown, Brett Wilson is left alone holding the bag to finance a great product, Ecotraction, and finally, this is getting noticed by the newspaper journalists. Mary Teresa Bitti, Financial Post writes, "all five (Dragons) agreed to put up a combined $500,000 for a 25% stake." They blame their change of heart on the market collapse.
That's a convenient excuse.
There are two types of investors: those that do it for a living and those who have made it, and invest their own money. The Dragons are supposed to be in the later category. Surely, they can afford $75,000 each on a product with guaranteed sales? Or maybe not?
I have a spread sheet tracking deals declared and deals done. Email me if you want a copy to see how much these Dragons are actually putting into our Canadian entrepreneurs. CBC should be asking Arelene Dickinson and Brett Wilson if they have any buddies who want to be Dragons and kick out the others who don't cough up the dough.

Isn't Dragons' Den about venture capitalism...is that the same thing as private equity?

yes - private equity means money held privately. so Venture Capital is done by individuals or funds using private money.
Public money is on the stock market. - December 3, 2008 at 9:44 AM

This seems a tad unfair As far as I've seen and heard it sounds like they've done a few deals already this season...and since when does a hand shake constitute a cash handover? I don't doubt the dragons can "afford" the investment, but there's terms and fine details that must get worked out and potentially cause problems compared to the original agreement?
I read on the DD site all about due dilligence, and some of the deals have even said themselves that they couldn't make it through due dilligence, or in the end THEY walk away from the deal because all they really wanted was exposure and had no intention of giving up 50% of their business.
As far as I know, the objective of this show is to provide a forum for entrepreneurs to pitch, get feedback, get exposure, and potentially get a deal. Isn't all of this still true? It's only with the addition of Mr. Wilson this year that we've actually seen deals, in the past seasons the deals closing don't always make it into the show. - December 3, 2008 at 1:35 PM

A powerful bomb destroyed the seven-story building in downtown Buenos Aires 19 years ago this week. Amidst the rubble of the Argentine Israelite Mutual Aid Association (AMIA) — the main Argentine Jewish organization — were 85 dead, Jews and non-Jews ranging in age from 18 to 73. Another 300 were injured.
The country's top political leaders called the bombing an assault on Argentina. They vowed to apprehend and bring to justice those responsible. For Jews worldwide, this deadliest terror attack on a Jewish target outside of Israel since World War II was an omen of more terrorism to come, much of it coming from an Iran determined to extend the global reach of its extreme Islamist ideology.
Justice has been denied since July 18, 1994. The AMIA bombing investigation ran into problems from the start, and neither the perpetrators inside the country nor the masterminds abroad have been caught. Despite promises by President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, and her predecessor and late husband, President Nestor Kirchner, only a few suspects have been identified, none arrested.
The only concrete progress has been achieved by AMIA Special Prosecutor Alberto Nisman. Appointed by the government in 2005, Nisman has courageously, tenaciously, and almost single-handedly sought to expose the truth about the AMIA bombing.
Despite many obstacles, including some placed by the Argentine government, he has gone over every available piece of evidence and concludes unequivocally that Iranian officials were culpable. In 2008, Interpol, on the basis of Nisman's findings, issued "red notices" against five Iranian officials, one of whom is the current defense minister. A sixth "red notice" names a Hezbollah operative in Lebanon.
For years, both Presidents Kirchner appeared before the UN General Assembly urging Iran to trust the impartiality of the Argentine judiciary and extradite the five officials for questioning. Iran, proclaiming its innocence, ignored these pleas. Internationally, only the U.S. government vocally supported Argentina's quest for justice.
Then, in early 2013, Argentina undermined its own proclaimed determination to pursue justice. President Cristina Kirchner signed a memorandum of understanding with Iran to establish a joint "truth commission" that would investigate the AMIA bombing. While Argentina's legislature quickly approved the agreement, Iran's parliament has not yet acted. If the "truth commission" agreement is implemented, any questioning of accused Iranians will take place in Tehran, dooming any chance of resolving the AMIA case.
Inexplicably, Argentina has also prevented Nisman from traveling to Washington this month to appear before the U.S. Congress, where he was scheduled to discuss his recent report on Iran's terror network in the Western Hemisphere. "The AMIA bombing did not constitute an isolated event," Nisman wrote in the 500-page report. "It has to be investigated and understood as part of a larger effort by Iran to infiltrate Latin America."
Nisman detailed how Tehran has methodically placed terror operatives in several countries, using Iranian embassies, local mosques and front companies connected with the Iranian Revolutionary Guards to form "intelligence structures" that can strike when needed.
However, Iran's determined efforts to extend its outreach in Latin America may be slowing down. A U.S. State Department report delivered to Congress last month concluded that Iranian influence in Latin America and the Caribbean is waning due to effective U.S. diplomacy, the growing strength of U.S. allies, international nonproliferation efforts, a strong sanctions policy and Iran's mishandling of its foreign relations.
At the same time, the State Department report notes that Iran's push into Latin America remains an ongoing concern, pointing out that Iran has "serially failed to live up to its international obligations and is a State Sponsor of Terrorism."
Nearly 20 years after Iran and its terrorist allies got away with mass murder in Buenos Aires, resolving the AMIA case remains an urgent task.

Denton's Notebook: Wednesday, Nov. 7
By John Denton
November 6, 2012
MINNEAPOLIS – Like most NBA coaches, Orlando's Jacque Vaughn lives and dies a little with each win and loss. But he said he resisted the temptation of showing his Magic video of the critical moments of Tuesday's loss in Chicago and instead moved onto preparation for the Minnesota Timberwolves.
Vaughn didn't want to belabor his points about sharing the basketball and defending hard with the game on the line, and instead gave his team talking points rather than a long video review of Tuesday's 99-93 loss to the Bulls.
``We more talked about the situation if we were in that again, and it probably will be a fourth-quarter game again (soon),'' said Vaughn, who watched the Chicago film early Wednesday morning and again after he awoke in Minnesota. ``When we're down four or up four with a minute to go, it was a good talking session for us, but no film,'' Vaughn said.
The Magic led after each of the first three quarters, but suffered their first loss of the season on Tuesday night when the Bulls made their first seven shots – all jumpers – and 10 of 12 attempts to open the fourth period. Vaughn said Chicago simply executed its plays better and the Magic didn't share the ball as well in the crunch time as it had earlier in the game. Vaughn likened it to a teaching moment for his team.
``We learned about ourselves from that and where our success will come from and what we need to do down the stretch of a game. Watching the tape, Chicago didn't do any spectacular plays or anything complicated, but they did it extremely hard. A good lesson for us was that at the end of the game you have to do things in the fourth quarter just as well as you did in the first quarter. And that includes sharing the basketball.''
REDICK WILL PASS: A running joke in the Magic locker room is that veteran J.J. Redick was miscast at Duke University – he should have been a point guard instead of a shooting guard because of his passing prowess.
Heading into Wednesday's game in Minnesota, Redick was averaging a whopping 6.3 assists a game. Jameer Nelson is the team leader at 7.0 assists a night, but he's played in just one game because of a strained hamstring. Redick averaged a career-best 2.5 assists last season and he upped that total to 3.2 assists a game in the playoffs last spring.
Redick said his dramatic rise in assists is hardly by design. Instead, he is simply making reads on pick-and-roll plays and attempting to get the ball to the right place on the floor. Redick said one of his primary goals is to ``be a player that others like playing with,'' because he makes the correct plays with the ball.
Redick has become so efficient that he said it's a tight race between whether he likes shooting 3-pointers or making a pass that leads to a dunk. That's quite a feat for a player who owns an instructional shooting video (``Better Basketball With J.J. Redick'') and a player who carved out his niche in the NBA with his marksmanship from the perimeter.
``I can't decide what I like more – an executed pocket pass that leads to a lay-up or dunk or a 3. Hmmmm, it would be about the same for me,'' Redick said.
Reminded that he used to be a shoot-first-and-ask-questions later type of player, Redick laughed. But comfort in the Magic's offense and maturity in his own game has allowed Redick to become as big a threat with the pass as the shot.
SHARING IS CARING: Magic power forward Glen ``Big Baby'' Davis caused a few laughs last week when he described the Magic's willingness to move the ball with the phrase, ``Sharing is caring.''
Because the Magic have only one player on the roster who has ever made a NBA All-Star team – Nelson in 2009 – the team has to share the ball and create opportunities for one another.
In their first three games of season the Magic utilized the strategy to get two wins and play with great efficiency. They headed into Wednesday's game tied for second in the NBA in fewest turnovers (36), while also ranking sixth in the league in assists (73). The Magic had one preseason game with 30 assists, and Vaughn said the team needs the assist total to be in the mid-20s for it to be successful.
``For us, (sharing the basketball) is our existence and that's how we have to play,'' Vaughn said. ``Basketball is a team sport and the challenge we have every night is to play with each other. We're sharing the basketball and that's the most important thing for us. And a lot of times that has carryover on the defensive end of the floor. Thus far, I've been pleased with our progress.''
ETC: Vaughn started converted power forward Josh McRoberts at small forward on Wednesday night in place of rookie DeQuan Jones. At 6-foot-10, McRoberts had success at guarding Luol Deng and had four rebounds in 14 minutes. Said Vaughn: ``(Playing McRoberts) helped us rebounding for sure against a quality rebounding team like Chicago. He's athletic enough that he can guard (small forwards) and give us some rebounding support. Ideally, this situation of playing (small forward) and (power forward) and going back and forth isn't good? But he's done a great job of being a teammate and when called upon being ready to play.'' … Magic point guard Jameer Nelson missed his third consecutive game with a strained hamstring suffered in last Friday's opener. Nelson saw a doctor about the injury and was advised to rest the leg until it is fully healed. Said the Magic captain, who hopes to play Friday against the Brooklyn Nets at the Amway Center: ``I'm just trying to be smart about it. They didn't really give me a timetable and they just told me to sit the (Chicago and Minnesota games) out to let it rest. Not saying that I couldn't play, but I don't want it to linger all year. To avoid that, I just want to let it heal all that I can. I'm not putting any pressure on anybody to let me play and they're not putting pressure on me, but I do want to get back out there. I'll continue to do some rehab and see how I feel when I wake up on Friday. I'm just going to be honest about it.'' … Vaughn said that 19-year-old rookie Maurice Harkless is making progress and is close to playing in a game. Harkless missed all of training camp and the preseason following surgery to repair a sports hernia, and he's spent the past two weeks working with the team. Said Vaughn: ``He's been good and making progress. He's been practicing, has been scrimmaging, playing one-on-one, three-on-three and five-on-five. So he's getting there.''

To the editor: This letter is in reference Mr. Halberstadt's letter to the editor dated April 17.
I am not taking sides about Sheriff Hewett, but in reference to: "Oh my gosh! He took his son to a crime scene! I played basketball. Had I had sons I would have taken them to basketball games."
The word is "crime scene" not game. A crime scene could turn into a firefight.
Mr. Halberstadt, have you ever been in a firefight? It is deadly. People get killed; sometimes the bystanders are killed, not just the crooks.

It looks like fans will have to wait even longer for 50 Cent's fifth album, Street King Immortal. While in Paris promoting his SMS Audio headphone line, the Queens rapper sat down for an interview with Skeuds, in which he revealed that his new LP will no longer be released on Nov. 13.
An alternative date has yet to be confirmed, but it's likely the album won't arrive until 2013; given the poor performance of its existing singles, "New Day" featuring Dr. Dre and Alicia Keys and "First Date" with Too $hort, further promotion is probably necessary.

Moynihan Says He'd Like Being BofA Chief Rest of His Life
Hugh SonBrian T. Moynihan, who endured record losses and public thrashings while cleaning up Bank of America Corp.'s mortgage mess, said he wouldn't mind being chief executive officer of the lender forever.
"It's the best job there is," Moynihan said yesterday in an interview scheduled for PBS television's "Charlie Rose" program. "While there have been times when you sit there and say, 'Jeez, this is a lot of pounding,' you always keep your eye on the purpose you're here. And that's to help people with their financial lives -- if you really keep focused on that, I could do this the rest of my life."
Moynihan, 53, has booked more than $40 billion in expenses tied to the 2008 takeover of mortgage lender Countrywide Financial Corp. since he become CEO in 2010. His plan to shrink Bank of America, the second-biggest U.S. lender, through more than $60 billion in asset sales is mostly done, he said in the hour-long interview. Now he's set to add staff in commercial lending, investment banking and mortgages, Moynihan said.
A succession plan is in place at the Charlotte, North Carolina-based bank should the need arise, Moynihan said. In late 2009, he prevailed in a search to replace Kenneth D. Lewis that took more than 10 weeks after Lewis's unexpected retirement and exposed the firm's lack of preparation.
Moynihan pointed to mistakes made by his predecessor that made the bank grow too quickly. The acquisition of Countrywide has been blamed by lawmakers for helping fuel the housing bubble by creating billions of dollars' worth of defective loans that borrowers couldn't afford.
Too Fast
"We also had a legacy Bank of America credit-card business that we had grown way too fast," he said. "We were buying back shares and paying dividends and making acquisitions."
Weighed down by mortgage and credit-card costs, Bank of America earned $3.1 billion in 2012 before taxes and posted pretax losses of $230 million the previous year and $1.3 billion in 2010. In March 2011, Moynihan said his company could earn $35 billion to $40 billion annually before taxes when businesses and the U.S. economy recovered.
The banking industry must be managed to give up some profit during boom times so that "we're not going to give it all back in tough times," he said.
Moynihan boosted capital levels under coming international rules to a record 9.25 percent at the end of last year, helping pave the way for regulatory approval this month of a $5 billion stock repurchase program. Bank of America has about 10.8 billion shares outstanding, many of them created when the firm sold $19.3 billion of stock to repay U.S. bailouts in 2009.
Dilution's Cost
"You can't dilute your shareholders when your price is down," Moynihan said, referring to the process of selling additional shares. "The cost of plugging the holes in the balance sheet was about 4 billion to 5 billion shares that we didn't think we'd have out."
The lender's stock more than doubled last year, the first annual gain during Moynihan's tenure and the best performance on the KBW Bank Index of 24 companies. The company climbed 5.8 percent this year through yesterday. At $12.28, the shares are still below the $15.06 at which they traded the day before Moynihan took over in January 2010.
The CEO will use his firm's earnings to help repurchase shares as long as they are trading for less than book value, he said. As litigation costs and other expenses subside, the company's earnings power will be evident, he said.
"That's what the markets are starting to see," Moynihan said. "As the issues fade, you can start to see the core earnings come through."
Uniquely Qualified
Bank of America's board gave Moynihan the job after at least two external candidates dropped out, and after sorting through about half a dozen internal candidates. When the appointment was announced in December 2009, Lewis said he hoped Moynihan would have the CEO post "much longer than the last three or four" jobs Moynihan held at the bank, and that he didn't have a huge ego.
"Another unique characteristic about him is that he wanted the job," Lewis said.

When I post in this forum (with Window XP SP2 + Firefox 126.96.36.199), I just have a blank page, it does not redirect itself to the thread, I need to refresh myself the page. This problem was not here some weeks ago, it appears in the last weeks, but I can't exactly tell when it began. Someone has also this problem ? EDIT: to precise more, I have this problem with the quick reply, I can't tell if the advanced answer page do the same because I don't use it. Also , I did not have the problem in posting this new thread.
I've never heard of this problem... So you hit the "Quick Reply" button, and then you get a blank page?
yes. instead of redirecting to the thread after posting, it stays on a blank page and loading (nothing). I need to hit the F5 button to go to the thread again.
in fact I just saw that the page is not blank, there is the small blue button "remove ads" in the top left corner. here is a screenshot
and now I can tell you that the problem is not here with the "post reply" advanded page. Just tested it with the previous post. so the problem seems only to be here with the quick reply posting.
I've tested this, and it happens for me, too. The Javascript seems to interfere with the ads somehow... I'll see what I can do...
ok thanks. I see that you are using javascript to display the "remove ads" button: Code:

I liked the logo on the aqua one as well.
Just Win Dolphins!
Never cared for the idea of putting the logo on the shoulder sleeves, as long as we're making personal confessions.
There's something to be said about a teams psyche when changing logos/uniforms. Look at what happened when Denver, Tampa Bay, St. Louis, Atlanta, New England, Seattle, Philadelphia, N.Y. Giants and Arizona changed theirs, they all went to the Superbowl after changing. Now look at how the Bills and Lions are playing (both have newer logos/designs). We're about the only team in the league who has not done a thing since we changed our logo in 1997. Maybe a total uniform overhaul with a new coaching staff and front office would be a breath of fresh air for us.
Please God, let me see 1 Dolphins Superbowl victory before I die.
The helmet looks nice, but I think you have to admit that the idea of a pissed off looking dolphin is kind of silly.
I do not like the new logo, too cartoonish.
I like the original helmet logo the best.

I don't think either one are good at all. The dolphin with no helmet on just doesn't look right


text: Business and Economics of Health LawThis course will provide students with an in-depth understanding of the business and economics of health care. Students should complete this class with knowledge and understanding of the different business structures, regulations and payment mechanisms and issues that face the government, health care providers and consumers in America--especially in the era of national health care reform. The course will examine the means by which patients gain access to health care and through which sponsors of health coverage organize and compensate health care providers. The course may include discussion of the nature and organization of the medical practice, hospitals and other health care entities, including Accountable Care Organizations and other physician group practice models; the economics of health care financing, insuring and pricing; the costs of fraud and abuse and employment alternatives; standards and methods of regulation, accreditation, credentialing and licensing affecting the structure, liability and permitted functions of health care entities and participants in the medical practice; the physician-patient relationship; and current subjects of political and health care industry debates and legislation arising during the semester. A fundamental knowledge of basic economics will be helpful, but not a prerequisite. One of the assigned texts for the course will provide adequate background.

New Beer Friday 11/19/10
The final beer in Sierra Nevada's 30th Anniversary Brewers Reserve series has finally arrived in Salt Lake. The Oak Aged Ale or Grand Cru is a blend of Sierra Nevada's most acclaimed ales: Oak-Aged Bigfoot Barleywine, Celebration Ale and fresh Pale Ale all blended together and generously dry hopped.
Those that I have talk to that have had it describe it as a great American Strong Ale.
Like it's three predecessors, the Oak Aged Ale is a one time release and won't be around long. You may find some at area liquor stores but you best bets will be at The Bayou and Beerhive.
Also, We are at capacity for the Holiday Tasting. No more RSVP are being accepted. I apologize if you couldn't get in this year, but we have limited space.

I'm going to have to try this one out tonight.

Any Idea which state stores have this one? If the price is decent, I might go find one also.
Scott - 11:04 AM
- Mikey said...
IF they get them, they would most likey be at the downtown Wine Stores and the Foothill store.
The Bayou and Beerhive get beers sooner because they are the primary purchasers of these special releases. - 11:14 AM
- KAGent777 said...
Thanks Mikey,
That is what I suspected. I know a guy at the Foothill store. I will see if he will let me know if they are expected to get any. He is the beer guy there.
Honestly, I am more looking forward to Abyss arriving soon. Their website says release on Dec 1, so maybe by the Holiday Beer Tasting I will have some.
Scott - 2:26 PM
- William said...
Hey Mikey,
You've got a great blog here with some interesting posts. I'm involved with something similar here in Australia, namely an online craft beer store and blog. As such I would be keen to swap links with you if you're interested?
You can email me back at: email@example.com
Cheers - 4:22 PM

At our staff tasting this weekend we popped open a 2009 Abyss. Man is that beer aging well. Absolutely incredible. Could probably handle a few more years even.

Our sustainability advisors know that Portland businesses take pride in supporting our local community and their employees, and that you're hungry for more ways to contribute. Sustainability at Work invited Sam Wright with the International Living Future Institute to share information about the JUST label – an exciting new tool for internal evaluation and sharing achievements in social responsibility.
What is a socially responsible business?
Businesses and other organizations are uniquely positioned to influence and advance social justice within their communities, but it is difficult to develop and communicate a comprehensive social responsibility program. How should organizations define the scope of their engagement? What exactly does a socially just organization look like?
To help answer these questions, the International Living Future Institute has launched the JUST program, an innovative transparency platform for organizations to reveal their commitment to social justice in these six areas:
Measure your impacts, and learn where to take action
JUST is a social justice evaluation tool and voluntary disclosure program for all types and sizes of organizations. It is not a verification or certification; rather, the program provides a detailed framework for organizations to evaluate themselves and inform the public of the results.
The six JUST categories are subdivided into twenty-two indicator metrics, each with their own simple yet specific and measurable actions. Organizations can earn up to three stars for each metric. Scores for each indicator are summarized elegantly on a label, which is publicized through the JUST online database.
How to get started
There is no minimum threshold for participation. All that is required is that participating organizations have employees. Engaging is easy; the JUST site provides a simple webform for organizations to enter all required information and upload documentation in one place.
In the spirit of equity and inclusion, it's free to register for JUST. To support the program, we request an optional tax-deductible donation when your label is published.
As you engage with the program, know that you aren't alone. Responsive staff members of the International Living Future Institute are waiting to help you move beyond business as usual: join JUST today, and make social justice your business.

Light - LOVE IT
I love this. Very light on the skin and has multiple purposes. Moisturiser and sunscreen together! However, my skin gets oily faster with this. Perhaps more suitable for dry-er skin types. My mom purchased it after using it too.

Medium - HG product!
Because it's summer time now, I prefer to lean towards tinted moisturisers but I still want a medium coverage, and this product is perfect! It has buildable coverage unlike most other TM and is pretty pigmented on it's own!

Light/Medium - Good everyday moisturiser
This is my holy grail product; I use it every single day when going out. It is a very light tinted moisturiser, so don't expect a lot of coverage. I love how soft and smooth it made my skin, and it's not sticky at all. It just gives me a bit of colour and evens out my skin tone. I think it also makes my skin appear a tad bit radiant. Lasting power is not that great (it is just a light moisturiser after all), but I never use a powder on top of it.

Lighter Than Light - Amazing!!!!
I have been looking for something light enough that actually matches my skin, and this is finally the one to do it! Whilst I wish their full-coverage foundation was the same shade as this (as I find it to be a hint darker which is a bit too dark for me), this goes on and sets like a dream and with a bit of powder, lasts me from when I start lectures at 9am in the morning til late at night. Love this stuff, I've almost finished my first bottle I bought in May, and have two more at home from presents for my birthday, because everyone knows I love this stuff. I would genuinely cry if they discontinued this stuff, 100% worth it!

Light - tinted but not covered
I use it before applying the rest of my makeup, since it covered but still feel its barely there.I love it coz i didnt feel any heaviness on my skin unlike most foundation, and my face tend to stay moist, n my makeup tend to stay put. (since i hv normal to oily skin).

Medium - Okay....
Ok, so right off the bat, i think this is more so a moisturiser than a TINTED moisturiser. It doesn't give much coverage and as a person who likes tinted moisturisers and tinted BB creams for everyday use, this is a disappointment. It has a greasy feel and it left my face looking so greasy and it sloughed off so quick. I had such high hopes because there is quite a lot of product (60ml) and there's a lot of product for the price. Overall, I would probably only use this if I were going swimming or spending a day at the beach.

Medium/Dark - looveeee itt! :D
Amazing product!! Blends into the skin so well.. Just make to sure to buy a shade lighter, as it tends to oxidize. . this product has already become my everyday skin product. the coverage is decent. feels extremely light on the skin. worth the price. and has a good quantity too.. Overall an amazing tinted moisturize

Light - Great product
I was looking for a light tinted moisturizer and this totally fits the bill. The light shade was a tad darker and greyish than I like but because of the sheer coverage, it didn't really make much difference. For reference I am NC 20/25 in MAC. This evened out my skin tone and lasted all day.

Medium/Dark - Wrong day
I just had to pick the worst day to try a new product! I was just recovering from a fever and was looking super pale and yucky so I thought I'd put on some colour on my face for work. WRONG CHOICE. I started sweating off the tint within five minutes of application. Which is a shame because I had been looking for this brand in Malaysia after having bought their amazing primer. Thanks Luxola for carrying this! I will definitely give this product another try when I'm feeling much better. EDIT: Alright. I went to a wedding today with nothing on but this product and a little powder. Lovely coverage, didn't feel cakey and best of all stayed on like second skin. I'm not joking. I was actually a bit sniffly today and yet patting my nose with tissue did not leave me with a weird spot of bare skin.

Homeschooling Moms
Featured Posts
So anyone who is on here a lot might have seen all my posts lately about homeschooling and still deciding and such. I had decided to get paperwork together in case we did homeschool, then found out I really don't have to worry about it til next year since she will just be turning 5 in April. Anyway, I made a lesson plan outline, then last night a sort of monthly plan because I decided to work with her now for a month to see how I do with scheduled days for teaching her. I decided to start right away because I've waited too long and she really needs to start working more with ABCs and such regardless of if I homeschool or not. Also I will homeschool so long as me and my boyfriend can agree that I can stay home or only work part time so I can do it. He just wants to see I will stick with it and we want to refigure our budget after taxes come back, stuffs paid off and his raise in Feb.
So here is how our first day went and I'm excited! I have on my "schedule" that I want to do Language Arts everyday, one alphabet letter a day I think is doable, I planned to have her write the letter in upper and lower case as well as cut out the letters I do bubble style on paper. Then we go over words that start with the letter (pics with the words) and how the letter sounds. So my short lesson went ok, she doesn't write her little a's very well (like an O with a line straight out) but that can be worked on. She knows the letter A because it is the last letter of her name and she can write her name. I struggled a bit as I have been on doing the phonics part. I gave her a break as she easily stresses over stuff and starts throwing random sounds out even though she knew it before. After a bit we did Art. We painted flowers and I painted the big and little A for her to go over, painted an apple and alligator for her.
Well she loves art so of course that went well. So I was trying to think of how to get her to understand sounds better and remembered the suggestion of Starfall's online program, I saved it in Favorites and went to it. Well it was wonderful!! Their methods are great! She got about 6 letters in a row and remembered their sounds and words that start with them and everything! Then we proceed to check out everything else, songs, numbers, activities etc. We spent about 2 hours on there! So since I'm not a memeber or whatever on there yet I looked into so I could have access to all their stuff and its like $35 for a year, I'm so paying that when I get taxes back. So worth it and it makes phonics fun for her.
After our good day today, I'd say we got in a good 4 hours or more just taking it easy. I only plan to do about 2 subjects a day since its preschool will be kindergarten and most include fun activities. I have so much planned for when it is warm out again, I really can't wait! I just hope me and my boyfriend can come to an agreement so I can do kindergarten as well. She is already starting out really well, she just gets bored easy so Starfall's program will help with the boring stuff like Phonics and Math later. It looks like it will help with reading easily (well phonics kinda has to do with reading lol) and the kids songs they have there were even making my almost 9 month old clap and dance (adorable!!).
Anyway, just wanted to share my excitement! Can't wait to see how tomorrow goes. :)
Thanks for the replies everyone. It only lasted so long because she was having fun on the Starfall website with their activities and such. She spent probably 2 or 3 hours on it today by herself but since its educational I'm ok with her doing games and such on the computer. I was suprised how much she could do by herself! :) We had another good day :)
Another great day! Starfall is amazing! So I don't know how I didn't know this but we started going over some numbers today on Starfall.com and she knows numbers 0-13, she counts that high and she recognizes the numbers, I did notice yesterday that she was doing math games and by counting the objects below the numbers she did some addition. I can tell she is going to be good with numbers!
I'm so happy that she knows those already as it makes me even further along in my teaching plans! She also knows letters A, B, C, E, O, P, Q, V, W, X and Z already so we just need to go over sounds for those and have her learn the other letters. We are having wonderful progress already! We are using Starfall everyday and she can spend a couple hours playing their fun acitivies and educational games.
I had planned to do a letter a day and do numbers 0-5 then next week 6-10, but looks like things are different now in a good way. Now my focus is go go over letters every day, showing alphabet so she can first learn the whole alphabet, then we will really start sounds more. Since she already knows 0-13 we can actually start simple addition which she kind of already is figuring out :). I'm so excited! Tomorrow we are doing some science stuff which is what I've really been looking forward to! Anyway, felt like updating!
Yep, I sure can! I mean its only been 3 days of really trying to teach, but since I have typed out everything so I know what I want and need to teach it has made it easier. I also catch myself getting frustrated and so we take a break, then rather than give up like I have before, I start thinking of other ways to teach her. Like today we sung the alphabet as I pointed to the letters, also had her point to letters so I could tell her the letter, then we went through and I asked her to show me which letters she knew and what they were and on our alphabet poster we'd put a sticker above the letters she knows. Thanks for the encouragement!!!

Building a business website is not just for big businesses. There are many competitively priced resources that are easy to access. All types of businesses can benefit greatly by being seen on the internet, and it is an important local marketing tool.
While some still find the internet a foreign entity, it is one of the today's most widely used business tools, integral to any local marketing campaign. Setting up a website is more affordable than you may think, with competitively priced resources ready to take your business to the next level.
The following are some suggestions to help your website become a top local marketing asset:
1. It is not enough that you have a fancy-looking website although of course, that is an important part of promoting your business online. Make sure you call attention to your website so that crawlers of the major search engines will be able to index your site, and give it a higher ranking. This will make your website a top option whenever your keywords are used in various searches.
2. Does your website look good? How your website displays to potential customers can be as important to your success as driving traffic to it. Once the search engines can get your site ranked and getting people your way, make sure they see the best display of your business. A well-laid out, appealing website can be another great local marketing tool.
3. Your website should be a reflection of the atmosphere of your business and the products or services you offer. Knowing what your target market expects and by exceeding their expectations, you can make your site a place they stay and want to come back to. Good presentation and good functionality are key.
4. If you have a site that contains beautiful graphics, layout and design, but your content is lacking and full of errors, you will be sure to turn off readers and potential clients. The focus of quality work that provides value to the reader. Avoid large words that would distract the reader, and use graphics that support and contain your information.
5. To avoid having your site ignored altogether, be sure not to use too many keywords. Search engines are particularly picky with how many keywords are mentioned in an article. Use the right amount of keywords for your site will greatly benefit your local marketing strategies.
To avoid being penalized by Google and other search engines, be sure to always use white hat (ethical) SEO strategies. There are several different search engine optimization techniques that are being used by local marketing experts, and the most ethical ones will always yield higher and more lasting results for building your online marketing presence.
