Risk Factor
Every new TV show is a gamble. That's especially true in the crowded fall season, when the networks roll out an array of new shows. Many of them won't make it to a second season – and even if they do, it takes years for a TV show to turn a profit. There are ways to mitigate the risk, of course. You cast a recognizable actor. You work with a successful producer – look, there's Ryan Murphy doing his Ryan Murphy thing with The New Normal! And even in the modern era of DVR and downloading, a good timeslot is still essential. A solid concept also helps – especially if you're a procedural on CBS, or a female-skewing soap on ABC.
Risk is hardly a bad thing. Some of the biggest crowd pleasers in network history were shows that were eccentric, unique, and overly complicated. Lost was an expensive sci-fi show with an unknown cast headlined by the guy from Party of Five, produced by J.J. Abrams in the days when his brand of serialization was critically acclaimed but commercially unproven. CSI was a crime thriller focused on the geeks in the lab created by then-newcomer Anthony Zuiker, slotted halfheartedly into the schedule on Friday at 9:00. And Glee was a prime-time musical, a genre that was widely considered ratings kryptonite. Notice how nobody ever mentions Cop Rock anymore? (Just for fun, we ran a retroactive Risk Factor on those previous risks-turned-megahit shows. Click here to check it out.)
To kick off this fall TV seasion, we've determined the Risk Factor of all 21 new network offerings. We assessed each project by five criteria — The Pitch (how it fits in within the network's typical framework), The Stars (who leads the cast), The Team (the creators and showrunners behind the project), The Time (where it falls on the schedule) and Ken's Risk Rating (EW critic Ken Tucker's assessment of the quality of each show's pilot — a determination of high quality translates to a low risk factor rating and vice versa). We assigned a rating of 1 to 5 in each category — with 1 being the least risky and 5 being the most risky. (Click here for an expanded explanation of our terms.) Check out how each new show rates on our scale, below!
Click to enlarge![/caption]
The Neighbors Risk Factor: 21
The Pitch: 4
The network says:Centers on a family (Lenny Venito, Jami Gertz, Isabella Camp, Clara Mamet, Max Charles) that moves into a coveted New Jersey gated community only to discover that the entire neighborhood is comprised of aliens disguised as humans.
We say: The Neighbors' premise and broad jokes (one character is named after Dick Butkus; there is much conversation about an alien device apparently named the "poo-pod") make the show seem more suited to The Disney Channel than its grown-up corporate sibling. The series is also nothing like its timeslot companions, realistic family shows that employ absurd humor judiciously.
The Stars: 5
There isn't a single marquee name in The Neighbors' ensemble, unless you count '80s ingénue Jami Gertz. Gertz's costar Simon Templeman is best known as a voice actor for video games. Nigerian-born Toks Olagundoye, who plays Templeman's alien bride, has a brief IMDB bio that includes a stint as "Sales Girl" on Ugly Betty. Gertz's onscreen husband Lenny Venito has starred in a few TV series (Knights of Prosperity, 1998's Living in Captivity), but never one that lasted more than 13 episodes. Girls fans may be pleased to know that Zosia Mamet's 17-year-old half-sister Clara costars in The Neighbors as well; then again, Girls doesn't exactly have an enormous audience, either.
The Team: 4
Creator Dan Fogelman also wrote Crazy, Stupid, Love, as well as several box office hits for Disney and Pixar– including both Cars films, Bolt, and Tangled. In the world of TV, though, he's untested: The Neighbors is his first series. Co-executive producer Jeffrey Morton has a few seasons of Modern Family (and two Emmys) under his belt, but the rest of his resume – along with those of fellow EPs Aaron Kaplan and Chris Koch – is littered with one-season wonders like Miss Guided, Kitchen Confidential, and Traffic Light.
The Time: 5
ABC's alien sitcom is snug in the middle of the network's family-skewing Wednesday primetime block – but it's also up against a still strong Survivor, a Britney-enhanced X Factor, and NBC's Guys with Kids, another gentle comedy that's presumably trying to garner the same audience as Neighbors. At least The CW's Arrow is aiming for an entirely different demographic.
Ken's Risk Rating: 3
NEXT: Animal Practice and Ben & Kate

High risk of additional overpayments for acute care
According to an audit released today by New York State Comptroller Thomas P. DiNapoli, The state Department of Health improperly paid hospitals $7.8 million for lengthy acute care admissions because hospitals billed Medicaid for higher levels of care than was actually delivered to patients.
"New York state cannot afford to make Medicaid payments for care that was either not provided or unnecessary," DiNapoli said. "This is a misuse of taxpayer dollars, and these types of mistakes should be stopped. The Department of Health must make sure hospitals are being paid only for the services they provide."
DOH uses a contractor, the Island Peer Review Organization, to review paid inpatient claims. In coordination with DOH, DiNapoli's auditors requested IPRO review a sample of 297 hospital stays that were billed by 10 hospitals for patients admitted for 50 or more days for high levels of care, instead of the less costly "alternate level of care," or ALC.
Based on IPRO's review, 94 of the claims, costing the state $10.6 million, were improperly billed primarily because the hospitals should have billed for the ALC care that was actually provided. IPRO concluded the state should have only paid $2.8 million for these claims and that Medicaid had overpaid the claims by $7.8 million. Overpayments identified in the audit ranged from $100,000 to $1.4 million per hospital.
In one case, Medicaid paid $130,432 for 249 days of acute care services for a patient whose stay actually included only one day of acute care resulting in a $62,684 overpayment.
In another instance, one hospital billed Medicaid for nearly five years of acute care when IPRO determined the patient did not need any acute care services, resulting in a $638,951 overpayment.
Given the relatively high rate (32 percent) of overpayments from the audit sample, auditors determined that there is also a high-risk level of overpayment in other Medicaid payments for acute care. During the audit period, Medicaid paid claims for nearly 10,600 inpatient stays per year (on average) of 50 or more days of acute care without any ALC.
DiNapoli recommended DOH:
•Recover the $7.8 million in inappropriate payments,
•Formally notify the 10 hospitals of the correct way to bill inpatient claims for ALC, and
•Modify IPRO's sampling plan to select and review claims at high risk of overpayment due to incorrect charges for high (acute) levels of care.
For a copy of the report, visit www.osc.state.ny.us/audits/allaudits/093013/10s30.pdf.
Department officials concurred with the findings and recommendations of the audit and have indicated that corrective actions will be taken to address them.
DiNapoli, as part of his responsibilities to audit state payments, has expanded an ongoing Medicaid audit initiative that has found more than $1.64 billion in waste, fraud and abuse (including about $85 million in 2013). Earlier this month, DiNapoli released two Medicaid audits that identified $11.4 million in provider overpayments.

Blake Shepherd: 1978 Jeep J-10 HonchoPosted in Ultimate Adventure: 2011 on November 1, 2011
Driver: Blake Shepherd
Co-Driver: Krystal Hardman
Stomping Grounds: Longmont, CO
When most of us think of a classic Jeep, CJs and flatfenders often come to mind. And while rumors of a Jeep pickup have excited Mopar enthusiast for years, many forget about the fullsize Jeep trucks that used to fill dealer lots across America. These J-series pickups have huge potential. So when Blake Shepherd and his girlfriend Krystal Hardman decided to build a Jeep together, they made a great choice with the classic '78 J-10 platform. While the J-truck now sports more tubing than sheetmetal, plenty aspects of the classic Jeep are still intact. Fitted with some extremely tough parts, the Honcho worked great throughout the week. The only thing better than the Honcho's performance was the couple's positive attitude and willingness to have fun no matter what.

An easy procedure for contracting rubber pads is known as in an identical approach contracting the top of the wood, cemented stone, paving stone, real packet, and several different components as well as-is press is known as stamped concrete. Surfaces, wetlands areas, porches, decks, drives and inner house materials could be squeezed with this method.
Unique Types
There are many types of stamped concrete new hampshire obtainable in the marketplace. Becoming an inhabitant of Kelowna, it's simple to buy them from any regional DIY stores. There are many decorative concrete providers for sale in Kelowna, you choose the styles in addition to employ and can travel to some of them their solutions to be able to execute the specified task.
You may also obtain sensible pine bark stamps, several different layer stamps and guess, bear, wildcat monitor that'll give pavers, your deck or deck an unique look. There's possible to compact the substance with anything but it ought to be left to obtain hard to depart their impact once retention method has been doing. You may convey this kind of imagination towards the organization who's offering you stamped concrete's support in Kelowna.
Places where stamped concrete may be used
As something can be achieved with a packet and regular rock, in similar approach a few of the common real business in Kelowna could achieve something using the stamped concrete. You are able to boost the beauty of the house by making a watch getting stone area over a lengthy driveway. It'll also include the appeal of the landscape.
You can shrink the middle or the garage in a zigzag design with paving stone in a vibrant shade and trim the border having a zigzag red brick structure. When you have a big courtyard or patio surface, you can test a combination of flagstone surface or flat stone.
Consult with store guide
You can purchase them from a decorative concrete company in Kelowna or the home improvement retailer. You may also visit the web to locate numerous businesses within your area. Before purchasing such products, because they may recommend you the precise amounts of content consult a store manager. The equipment and amount needs may vary to some degree with respect to category and the quantity of stamps you utilize.
Texture Skins
If you want to really have a lasting, unique area with no appearance of individual rocks, you are able to beat the substance with standing or marble granule themes.
You are able to keep your concrete tainted with fat places or russet acid stain, and label on having a structure layer to produce your extended main hallway, outside deck or garage appear to be old standing of the Roman period. Following the product dries, you close it having a decorated level to help make the shade more vibrant, and are able to produce the top like big pieces having a diamond knife. You may use surface layers on real just before you use flat stamps or packet.

Revision as of 23:44, 2 May 2013
This page contains some (developer) documentation about the Samsung Exynos5250 CPU.
The Exynos5250 public datasheet revision 1.00 is here.
The Exynos5 family system on chip (SoC) uses the Cortex-A15 implementation of the ARMv7 architecture.
The first mainboard target in coreboot with an Exynos processor is the Samsung XE303C12, also known as Snow. Specifically, it uses the Exynos5250. Since this is currently the only Exynos chip used in Coreboot, this wiki entry will focus on the Exynos5250.
The Exynos5250 currently uses a proprietary first-stage bootloader, called BL1, which does some very basic initialization and loads the next-stage bootloader (BL2) into SRAM. BL2 is coreboot.
BL1's primary purpose is to load BL2 into SRAM. It reads the state of the OM (operating mode) pins and can load BL2 from a variety of devices including MMC, USB, SPI, etc. In the process of doing so it also configures pin muxes.
There has been interest in the community for creating a FOSS version of BL1. Some effort has already gone into this and resulted in the util/runfw tool which is used for running the code in userspace Linux for deeper analysis.
Boot flow
The follow describes the boot flow for Snow along with corresponding sources to read (when applicable).
0. Masked ROM and BL1
The masked ROM (onboard the CPU itself) sets the boot media based on the OM pin strappings. BL1 occupies 8KB of physical ROM space beginning at offset 0 and contains some CPU-specific code for loading a full bootloader image (BL2, which is coreboot).
The masked ROM copies BL1 into SRAM (aka iRAM). Although BL1 is only 8KB in physical size, it is given 13KB to operate in memory. BL1 reads the OM pins again and loads BL2 into SRAM at offset 0x02023400.
For Snow, we use SPI ROM as the boot media / ROM for BL1 and BL2.
1. src/arch/armv7/bootblock.inc
Assembly code which sets ARM chip in service mode, puts non-bootstrap CPU cores to sleep, initializes stack.
2. src/arch/armv7/bootblock_simple.c and src/mainboard/google/snow/bootblock.c
C code which does generic ARM cache setup, calls Exynos-specific and mainboard-specific bootblock routines, and jumps to romstage if necessary.
Currently, the exynos5250 bootblock code is a noop. The Snow bootblock code checks GPIOs to see what boot mode we are in. If we are resuming from idle (no DRAM init necessary), we simply jump to the resume vector which is stored in the inform0 register.
3. src/mainboard/google/snow/romstage.c
Set up PMIC, clocks, and RAM, jump to ramstage. x86 platforms will also copy ramstage code into DRAM at this point for the next stage, but the Exynos5250 CPU on the Snow mainboard has a large enough embedded SRAM which we continue to use for ramstage on this platform.
4. src/mainboard/google/snow/ramstage.c
Set up MMU, framebuffer, exception handler, etc, and execute payload.

Knicks finally land Anthony
The Denver Nuggets have finally completed their long-awaited trade to send Carmelo Anthony(notes) to the New York Knicks.
The Knicks are sending Danilo Gallinari(notes), Raymond Felton(notes), Wilson Chandler(notes), the Knicks' 2014 first-round pick, two second-round picks New York acquired from the Golden State Warriors in the David Lee sign-and-trade and $3 million. The Knicks will also trade Anthony Randolph(notes) and Eddy Curry's(notes) expiring contract to the Minnesota Timberwolves, who will send Corey Brewer(notes) to the Nuggets. The Knicks will receive Anthony, Chauncey Billups(notes), Shelden Williams(notes) and Renaldo Balkman(notes) and Anthony Carter.
The Nuggets requested on Saturday that the Knicks also include center Timofey Mozgov(notes) in their trade package and New York complied.
Anthony is expected to sign a three-year, $65 million extension with the Knicks. If all the players involved in the trade report on time and pass physicals, Anthony's first game with the Knicks is expected to be Wednesday against the Milwaukee Bucks at Madison Square Garden.
"I'm extremely happy for 'Melo," said Anthony's agent, Leon Rose. "We are very appreciative to the Denver Nuggets organization for their efforts in assisting 'Melo to get to New York. 'Melo is excited and looking forward to playing for the Knicks."
The New Jersey Nets had interest in trying to acquire Felton and maybe Mozgov from the Nuggets for draft picks, but Denver general manager Masai Ujiri said the team will keep all the players it acquired in the deal.
"We are excited about the young guys we're getting," Ujiri said. "But we are losing a great player in Carmelo and a fantastic player in Chauncey Billups, a professional and the leader of our team."
Ujiri has reason to want to keep Mozgov: He's close with the young center's agent, Bouna Ndiaye.
Another Ndiaye client, Portland's Nicolas Batum, had been one of Ujiri's primary targets in previous trade proposals, but the Blazers have been reluctant to part with the young forward.
"We got a few young, good players and we're excited," Ujiri said. "All four players are key pieces. All of them. We are going to enjoy all four of them.
"They all play hard. They are all very skilled. I think they will fit well in George's. We traded for all of them to be Denver Nuggets."
Anthony didn't attend the Nuggets' practice on Monday, staying behind in Los Angeles after the All-Star Game to appear on Conan O'Brien's talk show. In an interview at the studio an hour before the trade was completed, Anthony told Yahoo! Sports he still didn't know where he would be traded.
Nuggets president Josh Kroenke and Ujiri had initially preferred the Nets' offer for Anthony, which was built around rookie forward Derrick Derrick Favors(notes) and four first-round draft picks, but Anthony was unwilling to commit to signing a contract extension with the Nets.
Nuggets coach George Karl had pushed team officials to make the deal with the Knicks over a straight trade with the Nets because it would better position the Nuggets to contend for the playoffs this season, a source with knowledge of Denver's plans said.
The Denver Post first reported the trade's completion.
Carmelo has finally been traded and to where he wanted to go as well, the Knicks.
Reckon the Nuggets did quite well in this trade. Felton has risen to be a very good PG this season, arguably top ten and Billups is coming to the end of his career. WChandler is a pretty good replacement for Carmelo, being pretty allround and an allstar type himself, likely he'll only get better now. Gallinari is a specialist with the three point shot and should definately play alot of minutes in Denver, at least early on and he seems to fit in as well.
They got alot of young talent in return the Nuggets and if they play their cards right, they could be as good if not maybe a little better then what they were before the trade.
The Knicks now have two superstars and Billups, who for now is still a real good PG, but likely for just another couple of years. CBrewer from the TWolves should also help out, especially defensively and they needed to add a few more decent players to fill their roster out, another two or three is needed it looks like.
The TWolves get ARandolph and I hope he really starts living up to his great potential. He really could have the chance to be Garnett like, but he has to work for it. The TWolves have quite a few young promising players, including Flynn, Darko and Beasley. Hopefully they can workout a starting lineup that uses them all well

All Star
There are so many angles to look at this trade, first and foremost was it fair for both teams ? One thing first glad this trade is over, the whole Melo trade talk was major drama and distraction for everyone involved.
The Knicks got the player they wanted, Melo went were he wanted. As far as value it is well known that Melo is an established player/allstar and a game changer, linked up with Amare, they could do some damage specially in the east.
As far as the Nuggets, they get so/so, potential type players, am liking Chandler in that deal for them, the rest they can use as trade chips in the future.Overall not a bad look for both teams, but the Knicks will be a problem in the future, they will only get better, and if they land an elite PG then it could b a real problem.

CALIFORNIA COMPUTERS STOLEN http://www.mercurynews.com/top-stories/ci_22121713/police-arrest-man-suspected-stealing-computers-from-hayward
Police arrest man suspected of stealing computers from Hayward school
Posted: 12/04/2012 09:34:46 AM PST
Updated: 12/04/2012 09:53:31 AM PST
HAYWARD -- A suspected thief who police say broke into an elementary school and stole desktop computers from a classroom for special education students was behind bars Tuesday on multiple charges including burglary.
John Rebe Rodi, 44, of Hayward, was caught on a video surveillance tape removing a screen from an unlocked window at Eldridge Elementary School and climbing through the window, said Sgt. Eric Krimm. The video also shows him stealing computers and some other handheld electronics including iPods.
Police say Rodi is suspected of entering the building three times between late Sunday night and about 4:20 a.m. Monday morning. The school's video surveillance reveals he first entered the building at 10:39 p.m. Sunday, Krimm said.
At least $3,000 in equipment was stolen, Krimm said.
The burglary was discovered on Monday when a teacher arrived at work, Krimm said.
Police said Rodi was identified as the suspect in the video by a school employee who recognized him.
Krimm would not say how the employee recognized Rodi but did say he was not a parent of a child who attended the school and that he did not work at the school.
Rodi was arrested about 1 p.m. Monday on suspicion of burglary and other charges. He was on probation for burglary at the time of his arrest.
Jail records show Rodi is being held on $222,500 bond and is due to appear before a judge today at the Hayward Hall of Justice to be arraigned on charges including burglary, possession of burglary tools, receiving stolen property and violation of probation.
So far, Krimm said, only half of the school's property had been recovered.
Anyone with information about the stolen items can call police at 510-293-7000 or at the anonymous tip line at 510-293-7197.

The new Performance Ultra Short Sleeve Jersey is our version of that jersey that you reach for on warm days when you just want to ride. When you don't want to be a rolling billboard, but still want the features and style of a competitive jersey.
Of course, it's got the technical fabric you're looking for: 100% channeled micro-polyester fabric to wick moisture away from your skin and into the outer layer of the fabric, for quick evaporation, plus a UPF 24+ rating to give you plenty of sun protection (so you can work on that classic cyclist's tan).
But it's also got a form-fitted design that features mesh inserts (outlined in natty contrasting piping) running all the way from the collar to the back of the jersey, to allow for cooling airflow without having to unzip the full-length zipper. This is a serious jersey with understated style and the features to match:
Here's our clothing product manager, Brent, talking about the Ultra Jersey, which he helped design:

The most important day in the life of an alfalfa stand is planting day. Proper establishment is critical to production of high quality alfalfa hay.
We recommend fall seeding. New Mexico Sate University and Texas A&M Extension suggest producers achieve at least six weeks of growth after germination before the average annual first killing frost (Oct. 16 at Clovis, Oct. 31 at Lubbock). Ten weeks is the maximum time needed. Planting earlier will increase irrigation costs and likelihood of weed problems.
Planting within these time frames allows the crown to establish and form more buds for spring growth and develop a modest supply of root carbohydrates to energize growth before a hard freeze.
Although producers occasionally inquire about it, we do not recommend spring seeding for virtually any reason in this region. Insects are worse on seedling alfalfa in the spring, sand is blowing (unless you have a good nurse crop like well-established oats), and weeds are more competitive. Furthermore, yield in the first year may drop by half or more compared to stands seeded the previous fall.
Sharon Cox, a crop consultant from Lamesa, Texas, says the risk is too high. "You might as well take that money and go gamble in Las Vegas; at least you'll have more fun."
A good start is critical.
Variety selection may be over-emphasized by producers and companies as only minimal differences are often observed among varieties in our regional New Mexico State alfalfa variety trials. Yet over the life of the stand these can add up for varieties that consistently yield well.
Until recently, producers typically targeted varietal choice based on Fall Dormancy scores. The lower the number, the more dormant and more winter hardy the variety. Some alfalfa breeders have broken the link between dormancy and winter hardiness, and as a result, some higher FD rated varieties can be seeded further north.
Use trial data
This will make FD less important regarding winter survival; still, most producers probably will continue to focus on FD ratings as well as regional adaptation to target alfalfa variety selection. All West Texas uses the NMSU variety trial data extensively and the Texas panhandle will also eye western Oklahoma results for appropriate varieties.
Less dormant varieties usually green up earlier in the spring and recover faster after harvest and grow later into the fall. Less dormant alfalfas should produce more forage per year, mostly due to a longer production season. These factors often permit additional harvests.
One consideration for extending stand life is fall harvest management. One might get by with a shorter harvest interval during the summer months when alfalfa tends to bloom quickly, but alfalfa needs a 6- to 7-week rest between the last harvest and the first fall temperature of 28 degrees, or between the last two harvests if one is scheduled near the anticipated average freeze date. This will allow the plants to store enough energy to survive the winter and regrow in the spring, which is critical regardless of FD category or variety.
The concern with less dormant varieties in this region is that they will continue to grow during the winter and with frequent freezes, root energy becomes depleted by springtime, resulting in stand loss. Infrequent freezes often simulate harvest interval and have less effect.
Producers should set aside concerns about seed cost and select several varieties with a broad cross section of Resistant (R) and Highly Resistant (HR) ratings. The National Alfalfa Alliance annual variety leaflet (available for download at http://www.alfalfa.org) reports insect and disease resistance ratings.
Other factors in varietal selection include a seed dealer you like, seed availability, and expected life of the stand (which is favored by more dormant alfalfas).
Ultimately seed cost does become a consideration, but with alfalfa you probably get what you pay for. Both Texas and New Mexico Extension staff recommend producers ensure that seed is recent seed and inoculated within the past year with nitrogen-fixing Rhizobium bacteria.
Seed treatment
In addition, seed treated with a fungicide such as metalaxyl, can avert some seedling disease risk. Finally, certified seed helps provide safeguards for genetic purity, minimal weed seed contamination, good germination, etc. Any seed sample can always be submitted to the respective state's department of agriculture for testing for growers interested in older varieties, commons, or other seed sources.
While poor variety selection restricts productivity, even with top management, be assured that poor management will reduce productivity by even the best variety. Proper establishment is the next factor paramount to a successful crop.
Local seeding rate preferences vary depending on location, seed cost, and producer objectives. Normally in the New Mexico High Plains and for Lubbock north we suggest 15 to 20 pounds of seed per acre. Below Lubbock, seeding rates increase 5 pounds per acre. Keep in mind, however, that poor seedbed conditions, seeding into cloddy, trashy soils, or using an airplane will require a higher seeding rate.
"Producers would be better off using recommended seeding rates on a properly prepared seedbed, which is described below."
Soil test
First, soil test. But don't get hung up on fertility recommendations as much as your lab's determination of whether nutrient status ranges from very low to very high.
Nutrient removal by alfalfa is high. University research shows alfalfa hay harvest removes high levels of nutrients in each ton of forage: about 50 pounds of nitrogen (mostly supplied by Rhizobium bacteria nodulation on the roots), 12 to 14 pounds of phosphorus (P2O5) and 50 to 60 pounds of potassium (K2O) are removed in each ton of forage.
In New Mexico and West Texas producers should incorporate not only the first year's phosphorus requirement but also the second. Surface applications are hard to get into the root zone in subsequent years. For establishment, if soil N levels are very low, apply 25 pounds or less per acre.
A firm seedbed is of utmost importance. As a rule of thumb, when you walk across a good seedbed for alfalfa your shoe heel shouldn't sink into the soil more than three-eights of an inch. Otherwise, seed placement for optimum germination at depths of only half an inch (perhaps three-quarters to one inch for very sandy soils prone to drying quickly) is hard to achieve.
Although seedbeds with few clods and no trash are preferable, some producers use reduced tillage or leave some crop residue on the surface, which complicates alfalfa seeding but can be overcome with appropriate seeding equipment. Producers might increase seeding rate a few pounds per acre to reduce risk of poor seed to soil contact.
Targeting alfalfa production for high quality, something that can satisfy a dairy, requires planning and management. Instead of taking chances on the risks we know about for successful alfalfa establishment and production, we encourage producers to maximize opportunities to expand options with high quality alfalfa.

A proposed class-action lawsuit filed Monday alleges Denver-based Qwest failed to live up to its "Price for Life" guarantee on high-speed Internet service.
Plaintiff Rick Grosvenor, a Utah resident, claims Qwest hiked his broadband service rate to $49.99 a month in August 2008 from $31.99 a month even though he had signed up for the "Price for Life" promotion in 2007. The price guarantee requires a two-year commitment.
After Grosvenor complained to the company, his monthly charge was lowered to $36.99, a rate he still pays today under protest, according to the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Denver.
Qwest spokeswoman Monica Martinez declined comment on pending litigation.
The company still offers a "Price for Life" deal. Incidentally, if you Google "Qwest price for life," the first few hits lead to complaints lodged on DSL reports about Qwest changing terms of its "Price for Life" agreement. The first post, from August 2008, was about how the company stopped offering the guarantee on stand-alone Internet service.
The lawsuit alleges that a customer service representative told Grosvenor that the company decided to change the rate initially offered with the guarantee to a "promotional rate" because Qwest had enjoyed such a "tremendous response" to the deal.
Currently, Qwest offers a $19.99 promotional rate for the first 12 months of the "Price for Life" guarantee, then the rate jumps to $29.99. The price quoted is for 1.5 meg service and requires a home phone package.
Jeffrey Berens, Grosvenor's attorney, also represents plaintiffs in another proposed class-action suit pending in Denver federal court that alleges Qwest charged a $200 early termination fee on broadband customers who say they never agreed to long-term contracts that included such a fee.
"Qwest imposes this $200 fee on its (Internet) customers regardless of the customer's reason for cancelling service, the time remaining on the subscriber's alleged oral term commitment and the lack of an agreement signed by the customer agreeing to such terms," the lawsuit states.

MUSE: Battle Royale: Who Runs Hip Hop in the 2010s?
By Brandon Kesselly, Staff Writer
Over the last few decades, the genre of hip hop has slowly been evolving. With each year, each new artist that has risen to 'mainstream' status has brought something new to the table (for better or for worse). Certain artists constantly push the boundaries either lyrically, sonically or both. Others tend to fly under the radar with a few notable songs. Sometimes, the producer has even outshined the artist, but one thing has remained clear: the genre has been progressing every year.
During the '90s, which has been dubbed the "Golden Age of Hip Hop," the rise of popular rappers such as the Notorious B.I.G (Biggie), Tupac Shakur (2Pac), Nas or Jay-Z showcased the different directions in which the genre could progress. After the deaths of B.I.G. and Shakur, who were already locked in a deadly feud, Jay and Nas had their own feud.
Biggie and 2Pac are the most controversial artists of the era and the genre – with Biggie perfecting Big Daddy Kane's braggadocio rap style and 2Pac adapting Slick Rick's storytelling to fit his own tales. Jay succeeded Biggie as the big bragger, and Nas succeeded 2Pac as the dark storyteller and preacher as the 90s became the new millennium, what I like to call the New Age of Hip Hop.
New Age hip hop artists that became crucial movers and shakers were Eminem, Lil Wayne, 50 Cent and Kanye West. Eminem – who sold more albums than anyone else in this era – was the former protege of NWA rapper/producer Dr. Dre. Wayne was the adopted son and rising young rapper of Birdman; 50 was discovered by Eminem and became a hitmaker; and Kanye was the underdog producer-turned-rapper with an attitude that wanted to outshine his mentor, Jay-Z.
As the years went on, these names constantly popped up all over the genre as the biggest names in "the game" (despite OutKast and Lauryn Hill snagging DIAMOND albums). But eventually Eminem took a break and 50 lost his album duel to Kanye West as both released their 3rd studio albums on the same day. In the meantime, Wayne had released a stellar series of albums and mixtapes that had him claiming to be the "best rapper alive." By 2010, Kanye and Lil Wayne were arguably the biggest names in hip hop during the 2000s.
2011 proved to be a good year as well for both of these titans as Kanye collaborated with Jay-Z for Watch the Throne and Lil Wayne released the best-selling hip hop album of the year with Tha Carter IV (which went double platinum). Both had also put together strong labels in West's G.O.O.D. Music and Wayne's Young Money Entertainment – a move that rising titan Rick Ross soon mirrored in his Maybach Music Group.
But with the rise of these new labels and their respective talents, I ask one question: who's next? Who will be the big hip hop star of this decade?
Some names have already been thrown onto the table, names such as Drake, Nicki Minaj, J. Cole, Big Sean, Kendrick Lamar, Meek Mill, A$AP Rocky, the list goes on. What I am asking is that in another 10, 20 or 30 years, who will be controlling the genre?
As of August 2013, only three hip hop artists that debuted in the current decade have gone platinum: Drake, Nicki Minaj and Kendrick Lamar. Drake has two platinum albums. Nicki has two platinum albums. Kendrick has one. These three are the current stars of the genre. Who will join them? Who will end at the top?
Great hip-hop solo debuts
By Brandon Kesselly, Staff Writer
In honor of the recent solo debuts of 2 Chainz, Kendrick Lamar and Meek Mill, as well as the coming debut of A$AP Rocky (2012's four hip-hop heavy hitters), I wanted to list some of my favorite solo debut LPs of the genre:
Illmatic – Nas (February 1994): While it is not a very well-known fact, Nas actually debuted before Biggie. Nas' debut—at the age of 20 – laid the groundwork for his later hit albums and his future beef with both Biggie and Jay-Z. The most notable feature of this album was that it lacked star guest features, focusing the attention on Nas from beginning to end.
Ready to Die – Notorious B.I.G. (September 1994): Biggie hit hard with this album, and—combined with his sophomore double-disc Life After Death—solidified himself as the most popular rapper of hip-hop's "golden age" The storytelling and lyrical complexity on this album still make me shiver when I listen. "Juicy" and "Big Poppa" became major hits.
Reasonable Doubt – Jay Z (June 1996): The first of many great debuts for Jigga, this album has one of the rare moments where Jay Z and his friend, Biggie, traded verses in real life as opposed to recycled recordings ("Brooklyn's Finest"). "Dead Presidents II" was also famous for sparking the beef between Jay and Nas.
Get Rich or Die Tryin' – 50 Cent (February 2003) – 50 Cent made his major label debut with this 2003 classic, featuring hit songs such as "In Da Club," "21 Questions" and "P.I.M.P." The album went on to go eight times platinum as of 2011.
The College Dropout – Kanye West (February 2004): Kanye West is a name as synonymous with hip-hop production as Jimmy Hendrix is synonymous to epic guitar playing. When the "Izzo" producer finally began to put out his own songs, his own rap legend soon began, combined with further production work on songs for Jay-Z, Ludacris, Twista, Alicia Keys and more. Dropout gave the genre classic songs like "All Falls Down," "Jesus Walks" and "Through The Wire."
The Documentary – The Game (January 2005): 50 Cent's (former) lieutenant, The Game, had a strong debut with The Documentary. A mixture of gritty gangsta rap and heavy-hitting party songs, the West Coast native was helped by his energetic delivery and production work from 50, Kanye West, Timbaland and Dr. Dre. His tracks "How We Do" "Dreams" and "Hate It or Love It" became instant classics.
Lupe Fiasco's Food & Liquor – Lupe Fiasco (September 2006): Lupe Fiasco—a Chicago native—found an interesting niche in hip-hop, choosing to combine spoken word, nerdcore and skateboarding influences with the dark tales of the streets of his hometown. However, he balanced the tale of a slowly corrupted youth with fun stories and some of the most clever imagery and wordplay in the genre. "Kick, Push" and "Daydreamin'" became classics while songs like the Howard Zinn–inspired "American Terrorist" show Fiasco's knack for historically driven raps.

After you've moved past the conceptual phase and you're ready to transform your website idea into a reality, step number one is to register your site's domain name through an ICANN accredited registrar. There are hundreds of different registrars out there all vying for your business and each one offers a different set of services and perks, so finding a package that suits your needs can sometimes be a time-consuming endeavor.
Going with the cheapest service isn't always the best option — sometimes more expensive options come with extras and 'freebies' that make make building your website less of a hassle. Keeping that in mind, we put together this list of the best domain name registrars that offer not only low prices, but great customer service, product variety, and site design as well.
Updated on 12-9-2013 by Emily Schiola: This list has been updated to include additional services.
If their name didn't already give it away, you probably gathered that this site offers simple domain name registration services for relatively low prices — but that's not the only reason they made the list. They've also gained a reputation for providing excellent customer service, and they offer a wide range of different package deals to suit just about every user. You can check out their pricing schedule here and scroll through some of their free features here.
Name is a dead-simple domain registration site that boasts a few features that most others don't have. When you search for a domain name of any kind, it goes beyond simply telling you if it's available or not and will actually let you know if a domain is (or will be) up for auction. They also offer this thing called the domain grabber, which is essentially a service where you pay Name.com to snatch up a taken domain that you really want as soon as it becomes available. You can check out their prices here.
Gandi's motto is 'no bullshit', and it shows in just about every aspect of their service. Their site is clean and easy to navigate, and their customer service doesn't beat around the bush when you call in. When you register a domain, you get a bunch of freebies too — three free BaseKit pages, one free DotClear 2.0 blog, free private domain registration, a free 1-year SSL certificate, and a personal email. It's definitely not the cheapest service listed here, but all of the free perks might be worth it for the right user. Check their price schedule here, and read more about their free services here.
1&1 is definitely a front-runner when it comes to low prices, but they've also got tons of added value bonuses that come with registration. Buy a one-year registration and you'll get a five-page domain parking package, an email account with 2GB of storage, and free private domain registration to shield your personal info from prying eyes. They also offer free domain transfers if you're looking to switch over from another registrar. You can check out their pricing plans here.
IWMN takes a super minimalist approach when it comes to their domain name registrar services. The company made a point to cut down on clutter and make registering a domain as painless as possible. Upon arrival at the site, you'll find a mostly white page with very few buttons and links — but they're the important ones. IWMN also makes it easy to add various web services to your domain at the point of registration. Pricing plans are available here.

New York, New Yo...
Stylish and flattering, the Anita straight leg jeans have finally sauntered their way into our pattern catalog. These jeans sit perfectly below your waist and above your hips, and are tapered from the thighs down. They even have two back pocket options, in addition to the classic jeans 5th pocket! Make a pair or two, or even three, because everyone knows you can never have enough pairs of jeans!

What are the finished waist measurements for the various sizes?
1 Reply
Dec 23, 2010, 12.21 AMby joclin
I just went ahead and measured the top edge of the waistband pieces. Whoever uses this should probably check if I subtracted all the SA correctly.
size 42 = 34 7/8 in.
size 40 = 33 1/4 in.
size 38 = 31 1/4 in.
size 36 = 30 in.

Sew the yoke and the back pant piece together, right sides facing. Zigzag or serge that seam and then press it down towards the pant piece. Then top stitch it (sew it 0.7 cm away from the seam line). This top stitching will hold the seam allowances down so it stays nice and flat. I hope this makes sense to you now.
Jul 26, 2010, 11.31 PMby lauraemillar
Thanks so much! I have it figured out now.
I feel kinda dumb about it now XD

Something weird is going on with your crotch curve. It's not visible in the model pics but is obvious in the member photos. These would be really cute if they fit us like they fit the model :p
Jan 11, 2009, 04.13 AMby neurolempicka
Is the model wearing it oversize? Because it seems to be fitting snugger on the user submitted creations.

The fabric here is very frustrating! The only jean material I can find is this horrible very bright blue thick stuff! If anyone knows where to get nice fabric in Athens it would be appreciated!

I don't know about Athens, but I got stretch denim for $5.99/yard that looked EXACTLY identical to my Rock & Republic jeans (minus the distressing) from Vogue Fabrics in Illinois. You can buy swatches and fabric from them online. 2 1/2 years after your post, I'm not even sure you're still looking.
Dec 6, 2007, 08.40 AMby squirrellypoo
hurrah for jeans! I'm digging the non-traditional back pockets, too. I've made lots of jeans from one particular Burda WOF pattern and I LOVVVVE them.

wow it does look good! thank you girls! just one question:would it still work so nicely with some cady fabric instead of the jeans?
Dec 3, 2007, 04.45 PMby silverrain-x
Oh wow! Just a few days ago, I bought some stretch denim, with the intent on making new jeans by altering a regular pant pattern, but now I don't have to! Such perfect timing, and I absolutely love this pattern! Thanks Burdastyle!

Artists Embracing, Rather Than Fighting, BitTorrent Seeing Amazing Results
from the good-for-them dept
Moby, for example, got an astounding 8.9 million downloads of his offering -- with 419,000 of them agreeing to join his mailing list and 130,000 of them going over to iTunes to the album (many of which likely resulted in sales). And, of course, the thing Moby himself said he was most excited about was the ability of fans to remix and reimagine his works. So it's another bit of good news to see that 68,000 remixes were created. As for Ferriss, his bundle of additional material that went with his book turned into an amazing promotion. His book was published by Amazon, but banned by Barnes and Noble (because, apparently, Barnes and Noble is petty). The material got 2 million downloads, leading an astounding 880,000 of those people to go check out the book on Amazon... where the book became a best seller.
The link above provides a number of other case studies about ways in which a variety of artists are learning to use BitTorrent and BitTorrent Bundles to help gain widespread attention, and then are able to turn that attention into fans and revenue. And this is a program that only recently started, so we're excited to see where it continues to go in the future.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Igor Kopylov and Matt Gethers each placed second in their respective weapons as MIT kicked off its season at The Big One hosted by Mount Holyoke College this past Saturday. For Kopylov, it was his third consecutive top-two finish in sabre while Gethers set a career milestone in epee.
Rangarajan Nadadur added to the Engineers' performance in sabre as he placed 19th. Maximilian Brand finished right behind him, while Nurzhas Makishev (35th), Matt Farrell (39th), and Isaac Businger (52nd) rounded out the squad.
In epee, Jeremy Hurwitz captured 14th place as Gabriel Chan posted the next finish at 31st. Damon Henry claimed the 39th spot while Javier Ordonez and Joseph Atnafu ranked 53rd and 63rd, respectively.
The members of the foil team finished closely together, with Spencer Sugimoto leading the way at 19th, which was immediately followed by Benjamin Switala and Richard LaGrandier. Jason Chan claimed the 26th slot while Sebastian Castro finished three spots behind him. Domain Teil (38th) and Michael Yee (43rd) closed out the day for MIT.

About one-fourth of all problems treated by orthopedic surgeons involve the knee, according to the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons. Torn ligaments and cartilage are the bulk of the problems, but many knee ailments are lumped under the term "runner's knee," a loose heading for aches and pains involving the kneecap.
Runner's knee, which can strike cyclists, swimmers, basketball and volleyball players, step-aerobics fans, and runners, happens when the tendon below the kneecap becomes irritated from overuse or there is wear or arthritis under the kneecap. Sometimes, in knock-kneed people, leg muscles pull the kneecap out of the groove in which it normally slides up and down, causing painful grating on the cartilage. Flat-footedness also can cause kneecap displacement during exercise.
Note: Women are especially vulnerable to ligament injuries and other knee disorders. A study by Edward Wojtys, M.D., of the University of Michigan Medical School, found that female athletes had more knee laxity, less muscle strength and endurance, and different muscle reaction time than male athletes, even when strength was corrected for body weight. These factors have contributed to a large rise in women's knee injuries, two to eight times the level found in male athletes.
What longtime basketball, volleyball, soccer, or hockey player or runner hasn't twisted an ankle and torn a ligament or tendon? "In my practice, ankle sprains are the most common injury," says Dr. Maharam. Ankle sprains account for one in five sports-related injuries, reports the American Orthopaedic Foot and Ankle Society.
"Shinsplints" is a general term used to describe pain on the inner side of the middle third of the shinbone. Shinsplints can be caused by running or jumping on hard surfaces, wearing worn-out shoes, or increasing intensity too fast while training.
The shinbone is the attachment site for muscles used to help raise the arch of the foot. Insufficient arch support or too-tight calf muscles strain these arch-raising muscles and the attached tendons, causing mild to sharp pain. Shinsplints often occur in people who aren't used to exercise, says Robert Nirschl, M.D., of the Nirschl Orthopedic Clinic at Arlington Hospital in Arlington, Virginia.
While you can tear any muscle tissue during exercise, the most common pulls are to the hamstring, calf (especially in aging tennis players), and groin muscles. Most are caused by weakness, fatigue, inflexibility, or a hasty and improper warm-up.
The good news here is that low back pain is less prevalent among people who exercise regularly. It is a far more serious problem among overweight, sedentary people. Dr. DiNubile cites a study that showed fewer back problems among firefighters as they improved their aerobic fitness.
Low back pain, however, is always lurking around the corner for golfers, tennis players, cyclists, joggers, and baseball and softball players. One hurried warm-up before the first tee can bring any golfer to his or her knees with a backache.
Usually, the problem is the sudden overloading of muscles and ligaments that aren't warmed up or strong or flexible enough to withstand the activity. Back spasms, bulging discs, and sciatica (pain shooting down the leg from the lower back) are less common but more painful.
Runners may be surprised to know their low back pain is usually not related to the above causes. "The most common cause of low back pain in runners is a leg-length discrepancy," says Dr. Maharam, author of Backs in Motion. Repeated and jarring movement with one leg 1/4 inch longer than the other throws the back out of whack.
About 4 million people seek medical help each year for shoulder sprains, strains, and dislocations. Shoulder pain is common in sports that involve excessive overhead motion, such as swimming, tennis, weight training, volleyball, baseball, and softball. Early in the season, too many innings of softball can be hard on winter-softened shoulders.
Most shoulder problems are from overuse. The shoulder is a ball-and-socket joint held together by a group of muscles and tendons called the rotator cuff. Repeated use loosens the rotator cuff, and you feel stiffness, a lack of strength, and slipping in the shoulder, especially as you raise your arm overhead. Impingement is the pain caused by excessive rubbing of the rotator cuff on the top part of the shoulder blade.
When the tendons and muscles on the outside of your elbow are repeatedly overloaded in the backhand stroke in tennis, the result is a tendon degeneration called tennis elbow.
Golf elbow occurs when poor strokes result in jarring divots and when golfers try to "muscle the ball," says Dr. Nirschl, author of Arm Care. Golf elbow can occur on either elbow -- on the outside of the leading elbow (the left arm for right-handers) or the inside of the trailing elbow (the right arm).

Subtotal: $0.00
Average Review:
Sodium Bicarbonate, commonly known as Baking Soda, has a laundry list of good uses under it's belt (including being an ingredient for homemade laundry soap!). Properties of Sodium Bicarbonate lend to natural odor control, gentle, non-scrubby exfoliate, and oil absorbing abilities. Great for deodorants, face masks and dry shampoos to name a few. It's alkaline nature produces the "fizz" in bath fizzies when mixed with Citric Acid.

How to Make Bath Fizzies from Soap Queen on Vimeo.
This is a fair price for baking soda. I'm happy to see this is not a sneaky rip-off for something we can also buy on sale at a grocery store. 4 Stars for offering a staple at an honest price.
However: This is Sodium bicarbonate. That's sodium (Na) plus Bicarbonate (CHO3 [carbon, hydrogen and oxygen]) ... Notice there is no aluminum (Al) in that chemical equation. Baking SODA has always been NaCHO3. In scientific terms, baking SODA is a pure substance, like salt or water, meaning it is not a blend, having nothing mixed or added. Baking soda never has and never will contain aluminum anything. The confusion with baking soda and baking POWDER is only getting more confusing and misleading by labeling baking SODA as being aluminum-free. Similarly, we do not label cream of tartar nor corn starch as being aluminum-free simply because they are also white powders used in baking. We're worsening the confusion by the misnomer labeling.
One of my favorite things about this sodium bicarbonate is that it is aluminum free. Besides aluminum not being good for you I actualy have an allergy to it so to find it in bulk at a good price is great. I am known for my bath bombs so this product is a must for me and after using it for a couple years now I always know I'll be coming back for more.
We're a friendly group who love social media. See you 'round the web!

Well, since my last thread had the intended consequences (the http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man/ link now goes to the 4.3 pages, not the dangerously misinformed 2.1 ones. They're still available via http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man2/ which is fine), let's see if we can't improve other things on OpenGL.org.
This is the official OpenGL SDK. When a normal person wants to learn about OpenGL and start using it, the first thing they see under "Code Resources" is this page. So it's fairly popular.
Short version: There is a lot of outdated junk and dead-links on the SDK.
Long version:
Let's ignore the fact that this "SDK" is nothing like an actual SDK (to the point where calling it an SDK is misinformation bordering on propaganda). This is what we've got. So... can it at least not contain useless things?
Let's walk through the "SDK"'s Libraries page.
First, we have Equalizer. There are two problems here. Equalizer is a tool for multi-processed OpenGL execution. People who look for "SDK"s are not going to be doing multi-processed OpenGL. These people are on the "Hello, World!" level of OpenGL. This is just not appropriate for a tool that is part of an "SDK". It's too specialized and required advanced knowledge that people who want an SDK won't be looking for. At the very least, it shouldn't be the first link new users see.
But I'm sure this is a fine tool, worthy of note. Or, rather, it was, when it still existed.
Here's a great way to make OpenGL look dead: have a lot of dead links on the OpenGL site itself. If OpenGL.org doesn't look like a place that's being actively maintained, then OpenGL looks like dead technology. And if the official SDK site for OpenGL is composed of dead links, then OpenGL looks even more dead.
Which brings us to GLee. Which contains more dead links. Not to the main GLee site, but to the downloads from that site which now no longer exist. Indeed, in order to get GLee, you now must install Git and clone it from the Git repo on SourceForge.
Not exactly a vibrant project when they can't even be bothered to have packaged download. Another way to make OpenGL look dead is to link to a bunch of dead projects in support of OpenGL.
The GLEW and GLM pages are OK, though no mention is made of GLEW's problems with core contexts.
Then we have a link to libktx. Really? Of all the many, many image loading libraries out there, you picked that one? Something used primarily by GL ES, even when it is used at all. It has little tool support (Googling for "Photoshop KTX plugin" turned up zilch), little visibility outside of its specialty, and it's documentation is an obvious minimal-effort Doxygen job.
Oh, and even better? There's this little gem right before the downloads: "The bundle includes OpenGL ES applications showing how to use the library to load textures." OK, how about some examples in desktop OpenGL? You know, the OpenGL that the "SDK" is actually supposedly about.
So the "SDK" not only makes OpenGL look dead, it makes OpenGL look dead and confused.
And we end the library section with OpenSceneGraph, which is an actual project with developers and everything. It is a tool that is useful to many. And... it has poor support for modern OpenGL features. But that's semi-minor compared to the other things on that page.
The Tools page is better, in that it has fewer dead-links. Though the link to Shader Designer is rather dubious, since Typhoon Labs is defunct.
There's even a dead-link on the Communications page: the link to the pipeline newsletters which no longer exist on OpenGL.org (thanks for removing those, btw. They didn't have great and useful articles like "When Shaders Attack" or anything...).
If the "SDK" is going to remain in sarcasm-quotes, then at the very least, there needs to be some form of maintenance done on the links. Dead-links and links to defunct projects should be pruned. Links to new projects should be added.
A more permanent solution is to move the "SDK" to the Wiki, where it can be more reasonably maintained. If a link goes dead, it can be removed. If someone wants their project listed, it can be added. And so on. Indeed, we already have such a page; it's far more useful than the "SDK" page.
