Waterfowl conservation focus of new UD Ducks Unlimited chapter
The University of Delaware has added a Ducks Unlimited chapter as a new registered student organization on campus. Ducks Unlimited (DU) is the world's leader in wetlands and waterfowl conservation and started in 1937 during the Dust Bowl when, according to its website, North America's drought-plagued waterfowl populations had plunged to unprecedented lows. DU has an active presence in the state of Delaware, with more than 6,000 members in now 16 chapters who have conserved over 15,000 acres of the state's wetlands. At UD, the chapter will have three goals for its members: fund raising for the national organization, educating the public about waterfowl and wetland conservation, and providing students with conservation experiences. Chris Williams, associate professor of entomology and wildlife ecology and the club's adviser, explained that because UD is situated in the center of the Atlantic Flyway — one of four flyways corridors waterfowl use to move between northern breeding and southern wintering landscapes — "we have an amazing resource, starting in New Jersey and continuing through Virginia, where there are a lot of wintering waterfowl." As such, UD is "naturally a central hub for potential waterfowl research and education," Williams said, adding, "It's exciting that we have the ability to offer this resource in terms of education and research for the East Coast as a whole." Williams said that other than a DU chapter at Yale University, there are no other university chapters in the Mid-Atlantic and northeast regions. "When you think about that flyway, and all those ducks piling down starting at Long Island, we have a hole in university representation, so it was perfect that we could add a chapter." DU has a youth education outreach component that is broken up into three groups: Greenwing, for grade school; Ducks Varsity, which is geared toward high school students; and Ducks University, of which the UD group is a part. Williams said he is hopeful that the UD group can give back by educating those in the Greenwing sections during an annual statewide event in April, while also exploring other opportunities as they arise. Through the program, UD students will be directly involved in conservation efforts, Williams said, adding that they have already taken a trip to Bombay Hook National Wildlife Refuge. Chase Colmorgen, a senior majoring in natural resource management in UD's College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR) and president of DU at UD, said the trip to Bombay Hook was very interesting as the students "met with the regional biologist for Delaware Ducks Unlimited, a Bombay Hook biologist, and a UD graduate student conducting waterfowl research. We had a tour explaining Ducks Unlimited's projects in Delaware and in Bombay Hook, specifically. We hope to do more trips like that, where we can actually get insight on how Ducks Unlimited is getting involved and how we can help to get involved with conserving wetlands." Colmorgen, who has been a member of DU since he was 12 and participated in the Greenwing program, also said that while some may look at DU as simply an organization focused on hunting, it is much more than that and he wants to help spread their message of conservation. "Ducks Unlimited was founded by hunters but it's priority is for conservation, so we want to do a lot of hands on work — maybe adopt a wetland on campus or go out and do work somewhere around the state in one of the main areas for the Delaware Department of Natural Resources and Environmental Control (DNREC). We also want to do a lot of education for the public and for younger people." Colmorgen said the University's DU chapter offers something for everyone. "If you're interested in the outdoors, and you might not be a CANR student, we want to offer a chance for you to learn more about wetlands. We're trying to do activities that pretty much cover anything that anyone would be interested in with regards to wildlife and the outdoors. We really just want it to be a group that everyone can have something to relate to." Getting DU to UD Williams pointed out that the DU chapter at UD was formed in large part to efforts made by U.S. Sen. Chris Coons and Bill D'Alonzo, a Delaware resident who is on the national board of directors for Ducks Unlimited and who was named the 2012 Budweiser Conservationist of the Year. "Both Senator Coons and Bill D'Alonzo have been interested in increasing our younger citizens' involvement in Ducks Unlimited, so a conversation was opened up in the early part of the summer to extend DU to the University of Delaware, where a waterfowl research program already exists," said Williams. He explained that after a meeting with DU officials, D'Alonzo, Dan Sarkissian, director of development for CANR, and Mark Rieger, CANR dean, the decision was made to start a DU chapter at UD. The chapter became official in October. For those interested in joining DU, Colmorgen said to contact him or Williams and that DU will be present at the spring activities night — scheduled for Thursday, Feb. 13, at the Perkins Student Center — during which students can learn more about campus organizations.

Oct. 19, 2007

Huge game tomorrow as Yale travels to Franklin Field to take on Penn. Penn may be 2-3, but don't be fooled by their record. The Quakers also have a very fine tailback in Joe Sandberg. There could easily be more than 500 rushing yards between these two teams on Saturday.
Getting ready to head down to Philadelphia has been different this week, because memories of the late Dick Galiette have come flooding back. It was two years ago this week that he fell ill and passed away suddenly, but this is our first time heading back to Penn since, and so many images are imbedded in my head. Mostly, I laugh thinking about how Dick would be railing against the far-less-than-ideal (to put it extremely charitably) broadcast position we have at Franklin Field. Radio crews aren't in the press box; we're in the rafters, between the decks of the stadium on the home side of the field. Diagonal bars run from "ceiling" to "floor", and mission accomplished is getting through the day without banging your head or falling down. "Nothing changes, Ronnie, nothing changes". I can hear it now.
Well, one thing that surely hasn't changed this year is the dominance that Mike McLeod has displayed on the ground. Last week I mentioned that he was only one yard shy of Princeton in team rushing. Well, his record-breaking day last week has changed that number: McLeod has 995 rushing yards -- that's just five yards shy of averaging 200 per game by the way! -- and Princeton is the second place team in league rushing with 841. You have to think that Penn is not going to want to allow any back to rush for over 200 yards on vaunted Franklin Field, so this should be a very interesting story to watch Saturday.
This is the first time Yale has been 5-0 since 1981. You can see the Ivy Champs banner from that year hanging in the Bowl. That was the third of three consecutive championships for Carm Cozza's teams.
Speaking of Coach Cozza, I have to say by far the coolest thing I have seen this year is a t-shirt being sold at the merchandise tent just inside the main admission gate at the Bowl. It is an old Starter shirt, and on the front it says "Yale Football, The Cozza Era, 1965-1996". The back lists all 10 Ivy League Championships won under Carm and says "Thanks Coach". I bought four last week to give to friends and keep one for myself. If I had the money, I'd commission a new order and hand them out to everyone who comes to the Yale-Harvard game this year to wear as a tribute to Carm. The shirts are awesome. We are all enjoying this year's success, on the heels of last year's co-championship season, but we can never pay too much respect to the foundation it stands upon. Thanks, Coach, indeed.
So, if Philly is not in your travel plans, join Carm and I at 11:30 tomorrow for pre-game coverage on News/Talk 960 WELI-AM and online at 960WELI.com. Kickoff is at Noon, and it should be a good one.

Influenza virus vaccine is used to prevent infection by the influenza viruses. The vaccine works by causing your body to produce its own protection (antibodies) against the disease. It is also known as a "flu shotâ€.
There are many kinds of influenza viruses, but not all will cause problems in any given year. Therefore, before the influenza vaccine is produced each year, the World Health Organization (WHO) and the U.S. and Canadian Public Health Services decide which viruses will most likely cause influenza infections for that year. The antigens, which are substances that cause protective antibodies to be formed, for these viruses are included in the influenza vaccine. Usually, the U.S. and Canada use the same influenza vaccine; however, they are not required to do so.
It is necessary to receive an influenza vaccine injection each year, since influenza infections are usually caused by different kinds of viruses and the protection gained by the vaccine lasts less than a year.
Influenza is a virus infection of the throat, bronchial tubes, and lungs. Influenza infection causes fever, chills, cough, headache, muscle aches, and pains in your back, arms, and legs. In addition, adults and children weakened by other diseases or medical conditions, and persons 50 years of age and over, even if they are healthy, may get a much more serious illness that may have to be treated in a hospital. Each year thousands of people die as a result of an influenza infection.
The best way to help prevent influenza infections is to get an influenza vaccination each year, usually in early November. Immunization (getting a vaccine) against influenza is approved for infants 6 months of age and older, all children, and all adults (including 65 years of age and older).
This vaccine is to be given only by or under the supervision of your doctor or other health care professional.

Although certain medicines should not be used together at all, in other cases two different medicines may be used together even if an interaction might occur. In these cases, your doctor may want to change the dose, or other precautions may be necessary. When you are receiving this vaccine, it is especially important that your healthcare professional know if you are taking any of the medicines listed below. The following interactions have been selected on the basis of their potential significance and are not necessarily all-inclusive.
Receiving this vaccine with any of the following medicines may cause an increased risk of certain side effects, but using both drugs may be the best treatment for you. If both medicines are prescribed together, your doctor may change the dose or how often you use one or both of the medicines.
- Rituximab
Other Interactions
Certain medicines should not be used at or around the time of eating food or eating certain types of food since interactions may occur. Using alcohol or tobacco with certain medicines may also cause interactions to occur. Discuss with your healthcare professional the use of your medicine with food, alcohol, or tobacco.
Other Medical Problems
The presence of other medical problems may affect the use of this vaccine. Make sure you tell your doctor if you have any other medical problems, especially:
- Allergy to eggs, egg products, or chicken proteins, history of – Usually should not be used in patients with this condition.
- Bleeding problems (eg, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia) – Use with caution. May have an increased risk of bleeding at the injection site.
- Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS, a severe nerve and muscle problem), history of – Use with caution. May cause the symptoms of this condition to return.
- Illness with fever, moderate or severe – You may need to wait until you feel better before you receive the vaccine.
- Immune system problems from a disease or medicine – May not work as well in patients with this condition.
- Kanamycin, neomycin, or polymyxin allergy, history of – Only certain brands of the influenza vaccine can be used. Talk with your doctor about this.
Proper Use of Afluria – Influenza Virus Vaccine (Intradermal Route, Intramuscular Route)
A nurse or other trained health professional will give you or your child this vaccine. This vaccine is given as a shot into one of your muscles or into your skin, usually in the shoulder area.
Sometimes there is not enough flu vaccine for everyone. If this happens and you are a healthy adult, you might need to wait until later in the flu season before getting your vaccination.
You need to get the flu vaccine every year to protect you from the flu.
Some children may need a second dose of the vaccine. If your child needs a second dose of the vaccine, it is very important for your child to receive the second dose on schedule. If you must cancel the appointment, make another appointment as soon as possible.
Fluzone® Quadrivalent comes with a patient information sheet. It is very important that you read and understand this information. Be sure to ask your doctor about anything you do not understand.
It is very important that your child return to your doctor's office at the right time if your child needs a second dose of the vaccine. Be sure to notify your doctor of any side effects that occur after you or your child receive this vaccine.
This vaccine may cause a serious type of allergic reaction called anaphylaxis. Anaphylaxis can be life-threatening and requires immediate medical attention. Tell your doctor right away if you or your child have a rash, itching, swelling of the tongue and throat, or troubled breathing after you get the injection.
Children who have received a certain brand of the influenza vaccine (Afluria®) have developed a fever and in some cases a fever with seizures. Talk with your doctor if you have concerns about this.
If you are very sick and have a high fever, you will probably need to wait until you are well before your receive this vaccine.
Influenza virus vaccine may not protect everyone who receives the vaccine. Also, this vaccine will not treat flu symptoms if you already have the virus.
The tip cap of the prefilled syringe for certain brands of the injection (Agriflu®, Fluarix®, Flucelvax®, Fluvirin®, Fluzone®, Fluzone® High-Dose) contains dry natural rubber (a derivative of latex), which may cause allergic reactions in people who are sensitive to latex. Tell your doctor if you or your child have a latex allergy before you receive this vaccine.
Make sure your doctor knows if you or your child are using a medicine or treatment that weakens your immune system, such as a steroid, radiation, or cancer treatment. This vaccine may not work as well if you are also using these medicines. Your doctor may still want you to get the vaccine because it can give you some protection.
Side Effects of Afluria – Influenza Virus Vaccine (Intradermal Route, Intramuscular Route)
In 1976, a number of people who received the "swine flu†influenza vaccine developed Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS), which is a disease that may cause paralysis. Most of these people were over 25 years of age. Although only 10 out of every one million people who received the vaccine actually developed GBS, this number was 6 times higher than would normally have been expected. Most of the people who got GBS recovered completely.
It is assumed that the "swine flu†virus included in the 1976 vaccine caused the problem, but this has not been proven. Since that time, studies have shown that the risk of acquiring GBS from an influenza vaccine is very low (one out of every million people).
Along with its needed effects, a medicine may cause some unwanted effects. Although not all of these side effects may occur, if they do occur they may need medical attention.
Check with your doctor or nurse immediately if any of the following side effects occur:

Walter, Can I quote this letter and translate it into French for the french Berserk community ? Of course with quote "from SK.Net"
Do you think they checked the site?
Gone for a few days and this is what I miss. This is really great. Again, a thank you to everyone that was involved. I'd celebrate with some spirits but coffee will have to do for now.
Please thank him and his daughter by PM, but dont flood the thread with them. What I WOULD like from you guys though is your choice on 6-7 emoticons to fill the bookmark up.
What about two bookmarks, one for good guys and one for bad guys? =)
What sort of time factor are we looking at? She may be happy to do two (can't ask her tonight as she is at her friends house having a sleepover), but obviously two will take at least twice as long to make. The other factor to bear in mind is that by the time she had finished my bookmark, her interest had started to fade a little so Void is not quite as well represented as he should have been! I would like this one to be as good as possible so it may be best to stick with just the one bookmark.
Berserk isn't really "dark fantasy" either. It's plain fantasy
Miura has been very protective of Berserk
The casca emoticon IMO is not that good.
Judeau would kind of be a funny one to have in there but IMO the list is good as is.
Sorry, this has to get done soon, so I'm putting my foot down. The Casca emoticon is comparatively crude next to the others. Schierke will represent the females. This is the final selection.
I don't mean to open this can of worms but with miuras comment of Berserk being 60% to 70% complete imply that he does have an ending planned out or is he still trying to make his mind up? The reason I'm asking is because I've always been under the impression that he has had the ending planned out many years in advance, otherwise why else would an author() have so much foreshadowing of events to come(aside from leaving more storyline options available)? But also given his comments of that he wasn't sure if we would see the idea of evil again makes me wonder if he truly has an ending in mind.

Seems theres a shitload of whinging idiots on this forum who really think they give a rats arse about someone claiming wind results from 2 - 4 knots !
If any of you had any sort of brain power - youd be spitting the dummy 24/7 at EVERY kite brand that all say EVERY year - improved performance, speed, turning, drifting pop n boost for fucks sake.
If that be the case, we should be jumping 500m high with kite speed of a friggin thousand miles per hour !!!
So yes whinging about someone who claims they can keep a kite in the sky at 2 knots is just showing me how stupid you all are - and really need to get a Life !!!
Time better spent trying to get a refund on any kite that cant do a 1000 mph
No takers for the refunds ???
I didnt think so

Wannabe - S01
Back in the girl-power heyday of the 90s, a hit single would easily get you 15 minutes of fame. But today you'd be lucky to get 15 seconds.

And with Maxine at the helm, how can Mum Pop possibly fail? WANNABE is the story of unfinished business, one last shot at fame and struggling to let go of a dream.

Hurricane Sandy ripped a gaping hole through the TV production business.
The monstrous hurricane, which barreled into Manhattan yesterday, forced the cancellation of dozens of TV shows and talk shows that shoot in the tri-state area.
NBC halted production for all East Coast productions including "Law & Order: SVU," "30 Rock" and "Smash" — all of which film in New York City — and "Infamous" and "Do No Harm," which film in Philly, according to deadline.com.
NBC also cancelled production on its syndicated daytime talk shows that shoot in Stamford, Ct.: "Maury" and "Steve Wilkos."
Production was also cancelled on "The Carrie Diaries" and "Gossip Girl" (The WB), "666 Park Avenue" (ABC), "Person of Interest," "Elementary" and "Blue Bloods" (CBS) and "Nurse Jackie" and "The Big C" (Showtime).
The production shutdown was unprecedented for shows filming in the tri-state area.
New York's late-night shows, "Late Show with David Letterman" and "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" were, at press time, going ahead with plans to tape their shows.
"Jimmy Kimmel Live," which is taping a week's worth of shows this week at BAM in Brooklyn, cancelled last night's broadcast.
"We are hopeful to be back on the air [tonight] with Howard Stern, Tracy Morgan and Sharon Jones and the Dap Kings," the show said in a statement.
"Kimmel" had flown staffers to New York early in order to beat Sandy, but no such luck.

Not sure about the matchup, but he is at home.
And hey for all the people saying he couldn't get sacks on the road.... HA!
Who's he going against, short pass gameplan for Brady? Yada yada yada yada.
Now here's an interesting stat. On only 20 snaps on Sunday, on the road, Irvin got 2 SACKS. Pretty impressive.

It may involve going out of your way to do an unselfish act for someone else, to admit a share of the blame for an argument (even when you feel you were right) or putting yourself in an awkward position for a moment in order to raise a sensitive issue. Challenge yourself to find the courage to do it where, in your heart of hearts, you think it is needed.Many of these steps to simplify and take control of our Xmases support another important point - the need to live sustainably. Xmas can be a time of enormous waste and environmental impact, and this is often driven by our thirst for more material goods and our supply systems importing food, gifts and other goods from around the world. By seeking a more meaningful and relaxed Xmas, we may find ourselves consuming less and living more sustainably - for example, by making presents, decorations and some Xmas food rather than buying imported products that have high Xmas miles.
Showing generosity is also important to us at Xmas - but you dont need to buy people lots of stuff to do this! For example, we could be generous in the amount of time, effort, attention, affection or many other things we could give them. This could involve visiting someone, making a phone call, helping out with the chores, making gifts or many other things.
One important aspect of Xmas for many of us is spending time with other people, and there are many things we can do to get the most out of this, including inviting neighbours round for a drink, watching less TV and showing hospitality to friends who dont have anything arranged for Xmas. We can also give ourselves the chance to have a more restful Xmas by prioritising our time, only doing essential Xmas tasks and asking other people to help us with those tasks we have to do.
Xmas is traditionally a time when people are encouraged to think and act in a compassionate way. It is an ideal time to start carrying this thinking and behaviour into your day-to-day life on an ongoing basis. This can cover a range of behaviours - from showing forgiveness to helping someone in need. Acts of compassion and forgiveness can take bravery, but perhaps there could be opportunities for you to do them in your life - even in situations you previously thought impossible?
Many people feel that Xmas has become over-commercialized and that we have lost sight of the things that make it special, such as spending time with friends, family and loved ones, celebrating, resting and showing compassion and generosity.

Cotton farmers strive to avoid low-mic cotton, which is generally unwanted by textile mills and therefore penalized in the marketplace, says Seshadri Ramkumar, manager of the Nonwovens and Advanced Materials laboratory at Texas Tech University. "It doesn't take a dye well, so it has little value as a textile fiber," he says. But Ramkumar has other designs for low-mic cotton. In a recent study, Ramkumar and his colleagues tested low-mic cotton's effectiveness of mopping up oil. The study, which was published in the most recent issue of the American Chemical Society's journal, shows that one pound of low-mic cotton can absorb more than 30 pounds of dense crude oil. "Because it is less mature, more of it can be packed into a given area," Ramkumar says. "We show through sophisticated testing that low-micronaire cotton is much finer and can pick up more crude oil." Ramkumar says the natural waxiness of raw, unprocessed cotton fiber keeps water out. That makes cotton an efficient, effective, natural solution for cleaning up ocean-based oil spills. Ron Kendall, director emeritus at Texas Tech's Institute of Environmental and Human Health, says the explosion and subsequent oil spill on Deepwater Horizon in 2010 reinforces the needs to devise smarter oil-spill solutions. "One of the things we realized from the Deepwater Horizon disaster is we didn't have the best tools for cleanup, and the technology wasn't right for the booms," he says. "This discovery that low-micronaire cotton, which is the least valuable cotton, can absorb as much crude oil as it does is a breakthrough discovery. It gives us an excellent tool for cleanup of shorelines, animals and ecologically sensitive areas, as well as a new technology for booms that can stop oil sheen moving into wetlands." Graduate student Vinitkumar Singh conducted laboratory work for the study. Cotton Incorporated and the CH Foundation each contributed funds to the research. Back to news

Seems that everybody else is jumping on the Warlords of Draenor commentary, so as usual I'm bringing up the rear.
Here are some thoughts about the announced WoW expansion:
- Blizzard is taking dead aim at EQ Next.
Remember how EQ Next will be more of a sandbox with player housing? Blizzard does, and the new Garrison ability is designed to counter that. The idea is to give a player just enough of a taste of the sandbox that they won't be tempted by EQ Next's bigger sandbox environment. Blizz isn't about to change their themepark MMO environment into a sandbox, so they decided that most players will only want a little bit of a sandbox instead. Of course, this could backfire on Blizz to where enough players say "Hey, this sandbox is kind of fun, maybe I'll go try out EQ Next and see what it is like." But knowing Blizz' track record, I doubt it.
- The rest of Azeroth doesn't matter.
If you didn't realize this when Cataclysm's revamped Azeroth left Outland, Northrend, and the BC starting zones out of whack (story wise), then they made it pretty plain with Warlords of Draenor. They expect to give an account a free jump to L90 with a purchase of WoD, and "learning to play your class" means "going to the Proving Grounds". This is the real intention of the Proving Grounds; to make all of the legacy software in WoW irrelevant. Sure, you can level the old fashioned way, but Blizzard doesn't want you to. The solution to fixing story problems caused by Cataclysm is to simply pretend that they don't exist; they want a new player to skip years of MMO development so you can get to the end game.
- "It's all about the endgame" is what WoW is about.
That refrain about endgame is how WoW has kept its dominance over all other MMOs to this point. Any other challenger to WoW's crown has been smacked down because of players who rush to the level cap and then complain that there's nothing to do. While WoW has fallen victim to that complaint before (see: Cataclysm), Blizzard has kept WoW going with enough new endgame content to keep its core subscriber base satisfied.* Now, with WoD's "instant L90" and the Proving Grounds, Blizzard is basically saying that those people who claim "endgame is where the game begins" were right all along. A new player can buy all of the WoW stuff**, jump to L90, hang around in the Proving Grounds for a few hours, and take off for Draenor. No fuss, no muss.
On the flip side of that, Blizzard is running the risk of eliminating one of their big edges over their competition: their years of developing the world of Azeroth. You can spend up to a year playing one toon and still not reach the level cap, but by eliminating that richness of the experience, Blizzard is reducing the entire WoW focus to ten levels and raiding. A smart company can exploit that should there be delays once the level cap is reached.
- The devs didn't watch Star Trek.
The City on the Edge of Forever by Harlan Ellison ought to be required viewing for anyone who wants to make time travel the centerpiece of an MMO expansion.*** To stop someone from altering the timeline, you jump to a period just prior to their entrance into the timeline and stop them when they appear. Allowing them to work their disruption and THEN show up to put the pieces back together just makes for messy storytelling and makes suspension of disbelief incredibly hard to pull off.
The devs wanted to go to Draenor; I get that. And I get that probably 70% of WoW players won't care because they just want to kill stuff and hang with their friends. But surely they could come up with a better excuse to go to Draenor than this. This just seems like they had "Heroes of the Storm" on the brain when they dreamed up "let's have them all go back to kill Gul'dan and company!"
- The devs DID read comics.
This story smacks of comic book alternate Earths. The difference here is that while the alternate Earth idea for comics came about because too many authors had written stories that simply couldn't be reconciled without this handwaving, WoW had much tighter control over the story and the direction of the game. They shouldn't have gotten themselves into this sort of trouble --in game-- where they needed to perform this time travel handwaving.
- And Doctor Who... Don't go there.
Keep The Doctor --and The Master-- out of it. I'm quite looking forward to The Day of the Doctor on November 23rd, and I don't want to have arguments claiming that The Doctor was the model for Azerothian time travel disrupting it.
Besides, I'll sic a Weeping Angel after you if you suggest such a thing.
- The Old Gods are Behind This.
I guarantee it. We'll probably find out that the Infinite Dragonflight is behind this, with the Old Gods pulling their strings. Why? Because who else would hate both the current Azeroth and the Burning Legion? Blizzard has shown via the Mists storyline that they're unwilling to deviate from the Legion, the Lich King, or the Old Gods as the big bad for the end of an expac, so this expac will be no different.
The final boss? A corrupted Nozdormu, who creates the Infinite Dragonflight from the Bronze Dragonflight. Pure speculation, but there's two groups that have access to time travel, and this wraps everything up in a complete package.
- Trolls will show up somewhere.
There hasn't been a WoW expac without them as an adversary, so why stop now?
- Blizzard continues to get a lot of mileage out of their graphics engine.
New character models notwithstanding, from Vanilla through Mists the artists have been able to maximize the terrain to great effect. If you look closely at the terrain, it's still the same old stuff that's out there in the Eastern Kingdoms and Kalimdor, but just reworked to maximum effect. I believe this will continue to be the case with WoD.
- Warlords of Draenor won't get a release date until EQ Next and Wildstar have one first.
It's a game of one-upsmanship, and Blizzard has shown that they intend to wield their power as the 800 lb gorilla of the MMO market to maximum effect. Wildstar's devs have said that they intend to go straight after WoW, so expect WoD to drop right before Wildstar does. As much as I think this entire behavior is infantile, there's no denying that it works.
Edit: Fixed some punctuation and grammar errors.

That loss 2½ months ago to the Falcons began a four-game skid for the Packers that dropped them to 4-6. Aaron Rodgers insisted he didn't think Green Bay was done, and look at it now: eight consecutive victories and a second NFC title game in three years.
Matt Ryan and Atlanta are also on an impressive run, winning five games in a row by scoring at least 33 points each time — and he has 14 TD passes and zero interceptions in that span.
"They are good at what they do," Packers linebacker Nick Perry said. "We are going to look at the film and go over it and make sure we prevent as much as we can of those ... explosive plays."
This could be another high-scoring game, with players such as Julio Jones, Taylor Gabriel, Randall Cobb and Davante Adams causing problems for a pair of defenses that are not all that special.
The Falcons led the NFL in scoring. Even so, they know it won't be easy to keep up with the scoring pace set by quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Packers.

Good afternoon all. I think Kiteboarding is a spectacular, beautiful and awesome sport, but some days I feel like throwing in the towel!!! Ever been there when learning?
Let me backup and explain. As of 2 months ago I began my kite boarding experience. I had seen kites on the beach, thought "that is awesome", lurked on the forums and finally took the plunge.
I started by taking lessons with an instructor:
-6 hours total.
-4 hours on a two line.
-learned about wind window, maneuvering the kite and body dragging.
-2 hours on a 4 line kite
-learned about kite setup, depowering, safety features, maneuvering the kite and body dragging
At this point I had gained a small amount of confidence but felt I definitally needed more practice. I purchased a 2m Ocean Rodeo 4 Line kite. Sometimes I feel I made a mistake. Here is why:
-If the wind stays 25+mph . I can fly the kite just fine. I have no issues walking up and down the beach, figure 8's, even some small jumps. Its fun!
-But if that wind dips below a certain threshold, I'm a sitting duck! Really, I mean REALLY sucks!
-I've logged about 7 hours GOOD flight time, and then about 10 hours sh!t time sitting on my butt on the beach cursing!
-The wind around here is usually 10-20mph
-I'm tempted to get a 10+m Best Kahoona (2011-12) but fear is getting the best of me. I'm worried about seriously injuring myself.
So who here has been in my shoes and persevered!? What is your experience?
I've never been a quitter, but I'm sick of wasting time and LOADS of $$ on something thats this frustrating. Agh!
Thanks guys!

Well...........Nike CONFISCATED the footage, saying that it was "part of their media policy" to do so.
I mean seriously? why the f*ck would you bother? did they think that people would suddenly stop buying their pathetic products because LeBron got dunked on in some meaningless game?
I dont know why Im shocked but still..............
Here is the video =
http://ebaumnation.com/2009/07/22/jorda ... bron-james
Wasnt even that bad was it? I was imagining something worse, with LeBron getting floored or something.
And heres the article about it on ESPN =
http://sports.espn.go.com/nba/news/stor ... AHeadlines
CLEVELAND -- Nike says it is returning videotapes it confiscated of NBA star LeBron James getting dunked on at a recent basketball camp.
Nike said it is giving back tapes to two accredited journalists who filmed Xavier's Jordan Crawford dunking over James during a recent pickup game at a skills academy run by the superstar at the University of Akron. The sports apparel giant said only one of the tapes captured the infamous dunk, which has been an Internet sensation.
Nike said it took the tapes based on its media guidelines that no pickup games be filmed.
This week, videos emerged of Crawford's dunk in which he drove the lane and slammed over James, who was not guarding him and was the last defender between Crawford and the basket.
In its statement, Nike said it did not take the footage because James was dunked on.
"It was never about the play or the player, it was always about our media policy," Nike said. "The interest in the tapes has greatly overshadowed the focus of the camp, which is to help young athletes improve their skills, and that is regrettable. It was Nike's decision to take these tapes based on our media guidelines, which we will continue to enforce."
There was general disappointment in Crawford's dunk among online viewers when it began appearing on various Web sites in recent days. Crawford beat another defender down the lane and was able to gather himself before finishing over James, the current league MVP who has been subjected to worse treatment by his pro peers.

Jasonmcmahon needed a new button or icon design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 137 designs submitted by 34 freelance designers.
This is an iPhone app icon, for Glamoo.com. The Glamoo iPhone app is a mobile fashion shopper assistant.
Our old iPhone app icon is attached. Definitely too dark, and doesn't catch your eye enough. Using our Owl logo in the icon, is highly optional. We currently use quite a bit of green in our branding, but we are toning that down. Should use green accents at the most.
My initial thoughts are a white background with a more colorful and eye-catching Owl. Or a trendy handbag. Really open to exploring new ideas.
Fyi.. we are no longer using the tagline "Smart Buying Club". If you would like to incorporate a tagline, please use "Mobile Personal Shopper".
Our primary target audience is fashionable, trendy, affluent (though value conscience), female. Though males use the app as well, so it shouldn't be over-the-top female orientated.
There is a geo-location component to the app. Find fashionable stores and shopping 'around you'. This may or may not be displayed in the icon, but should appear too techy.
I've included some screenshots from the app, so you get a sense of the design tone. Quite a bit different from the website (glamoo.com)
If you are not familiar with iPhone app design, please read this article:
Image format must be .PNG. Also the following image sizes will be required:
App Store Icon – 512x512px
iPhone 4 icon – 114x114px
Application Icon – 57x57px
The two primary design requirements, are fashionable and noticeable. iPhone app icons compete for attention, amongst a sea of other icons. The desire is to be catchy and noticeable (bright colors?), while still be fashionable (we have several fashion brand names, that need to be comfortable being associated with us).

Fort Lauderdale Campus offers CAAHEP Accredited Cardiovascular Sonography Program in South Florida
FORT LAUDERDALE, FL. April 9, 2012 – Sanford-Brown Institute (SBI)-Fort Lauderdale has announced that its cardiovascular sonography program has recently received Adult Echocardiography accreditation from the Committee on Accreditation of Allied Health Education Programs (CAAHEP), upon the recommendation of the Joint Review Committee on Education in Cardiovascular Technology. By achieving this accreditation, Sanford-Brown students are now able to sit for their Registered Diagnostic Cardiac Sonographer Exam offered by the ARDMS upon completing their course work and graduation. Florida does not currently require technicians to be registered in order to work in the state, but most employers strongly prefer this credential.
The cardiovascular sonography program at SBI-Fort Lauderdale provides a comprehensive education focused on classroom learning as well as hands-on, real life experience in order to help students become trusted players on any heart healthcare team.
"Our academic standards ensure that students have the knowledge, practical skills, and confidence they need in order to pursue careers in allied health fields," said Michael LaBelle, President of SBI-Fort Lauderdale. "The CAAHEP distinction is a crucial step in providing students the tools they need to succeed after graduation."
The cardiovascular sonography program at SBI-Fort Lauderdale is one of six Associate-level programs in Florida and one of the only programs in South Florida to earn this accreditation. CAAHEP accredits over 2,000 programs in 23 health sciences professions and is recognized by the Council for Higher Education Accreditation (CHEA).

In Part 1 of this 2-part discussion on morality, I examined the claim that God is necessary for objective morality to exist. For all of the reasons that I discussed, I believe a god to be a poor explanation for the existence of objective moral values. So what does this mean about objective morality? Does it even exist? Is morality nothing more than an illusion? Is it simply the subjective opinions of a given culture, or society? The answer is no. In this, part 2 of my discussion on morality, I intend to establish that objective morality can be said to exist, without any appeal to a god or gods. I certainly have no delusion of solving an age-old debate, in one paltry blog article, but I believe I can at least present a brief explanation of my position, and address a few common objections that I face.
Now, let me be clear, when I state that objective moral values exist, I am not talking about absolute morality. I do not aim to make the case that there exist "transcendent" or "universal" moral truths, or that morality would exist independent of any sentient creatures to appreciate it. Instead, when I speak of objective moral values, I am referring to values that are based on evidence, reason, observation, and logic. This is the scientific deployment of the word objective, and says only that morality is a factual discussion, rather than a discussion of pure opinion.
So before I go any further, it seems important that I offer up a definition of "morality". After all, it is the entire focus of both this article, as well as the last. There are many basic definitions out there, but the one I find to be most explicative, while still being concise, is the following: "Morality is the differentiation of intentions, decisions, and actions between those that are good (or right) and those that are bad (or wrong)" So when we speak about morality, we are talking about what is right, and what is wrong. We are also speaking about behavior, decisions, and actions, implying, necessarily, that morality relates to the experience of conscious creatures. After all, all evidence indicates that only conscious creatures are capable of making decisions, or having intentions.
Definitionally speaking, then, morality is a discipline where we determine what actions are "good" and which are "bad", with respect to how they impact other conscious creatures. The most common accusation against morality being "objective" is that we would have no way of stating what "good" is, or what "bad" would be. Good for whom? Bad for what? These complaints aren't nearly as compelling, or problematic, as their proponents seem to think. After all, we are dealing with terms here that are well defined, and universally understood. In the context of conscious experience, good is the term used to describe that which is favorable, enjoyable, pleasurable, or prosperous. Meanwhile, bad is deployed to describe that which is undesirable, unpleasant, miserable, or detrimental. So how does morality come into play? How does understanding what good and bad mean, give us any insight as to which behaviors would fall into which category?
The answers to these questions, contrary to conventional thought, can be found in science. After all, when we speak about the experience of conscious creatures, we are discussing a subject matter about which we have a great deal of knowledge. We have information, and data, on what constitutes experience. We are also able to reflect on our actions, and evaluate the consequences of our decisions. In doing so, we are gathering data that is factual in nature. We are uncovering patterns that are observable, testable, and verifiable. From this, we can arrive at conclusions, regarding various behaviors, that are based on prior experience, observable evidence, and recognizable impact. It is then possible to use reason, logic, and an evaluation of the evidence, to present solutions to moral dilemmas. Solutions that will be evidentially based, and therefore OBJECTIVE. In his book, The Moral Landscape, Sam Harris does a brilliant job of going into greater detail about how science can be used to determine human values. Essentially, Dr. Harris argues that all experiences of conscious creatures will fall into either "peaks" or "valleys" on a "moral landscape". Peaks being the height of flourishing, and well-being, while valleys serve as less-optimal, and more miserable, areas of the landscape. And since, he argues, there will be a great deal of factual information regarding where a given decision falls on this landscape, the subject of morality becomes one that is a fact-based realm of inquiry.
Once we are speaking about a realm of inquiry that is factual in nature, we are speaking about a discipline that will have objective "right" and "wrong" answers. When the evidence is gathered, and reasoning is deployed, we can arrive at conclusions that are sound, and supported, rather than answers that are simply preferable, or baldly asserted. This, of course, will not lead to universal answers to complicated ethical dilemmas. What it does allow us to do, however, is evaluate our decisions regarding morality, from a factual standpoint. In doing so, we are capable of promoting certain behaviors, or decisions, as objectively "correct", and denouncing others as demonstrably "wrong". This has profound implications in the discussion on morality. It means that we are not precluded from condemning morally depraved actions as simply being a "difference of opinion". Rather, we can deploy reason, argument, rationale, and evidence, in support of the conclusion that a given action is objectively wrong, regardless of opinion.
This is, in the interest of keeping this article of suitable blog-length, a very brief overview of how morality can be viewed as an objective approach to decision-making. I will spend the remaining balance of this article addressing some of the more common objections I have encountered whenever I have defended this position. After all, few people really fail to understand what is meant by morality, but rather disagree as to whether or not it is truly "objective".
I Disagree!
Ok, so you lay out your case for a given action being wrong, you present evidence and reasoning, and I disagree with you. After all, I have different priorities, and I simply do not recognize YOUR priorities as being correct. How can you possibly say that morality is objective, if there is disagreement about what is or is not moral?
Disagreement is NOT a threat to the objective truth of a given claim. After all, evolution is regarded as objectively true by modern biology. This stands to be the case DESPITE the fact that a large faction of the world's population disagrees with its teachings. If a biologist were to present the evidence for common descent, and provide reasoning, and I were to still disagree, it would not make his claim any less objectively true. It would, instead, render me objectively wrong on the matter.
The same can be said of moral disagreements. In any situation where there are opposing views, the question becomes, what does the evidence say? Who's position is reasonably defensible, and more consistent with the facts? In cases where there is an answer that is clearly in line with the evidence, those who disagree are factually incorrect. In situations where there is no clear answer, the key will STILL be to make a decision that is as reasonable, and in line with the evidence, as possible. Even in situations where the absolute best answer is unclear, there would still be a method by which to eliminate objectively BAD answers, and narrow the choices down. And in such situations, further reasoning, and examination, could eventually provide better understandings, and more clear-cut correct answers. This is how scientific discovery works. Disagreement, ultimately, does nothing to threaten the objective truth of a claim, so long as the claim is adequately defended by evidence and reason.
Won't this model of morality be situationally dependent? How can it be objective, if this is the case? Couldn't you even potentially get multiple "right" answers to the same question? This doesn't seem very clear-cut.
In a word, yes. While morality, and moral truths, can be said to be objective, they are not absolute. Neither are we going to have one-size-fits-all blanket assertions. This is a subject matter that is far too complex, and nuanced, for such simplistic thinking. Does this threaten its objectivity, however? No.
Let's look at an example of an "objective" truth, with which we are all likely familiar: The freezing point of water. Nothing subjective about this. We don't decide at what temperature water freezes based on opinion or conjecture, we arrive at the temperature based on objective evidence and observation. So it won't be situational dependent, right? We can state that the freezing point of water is 32 degrees Fahrenheit, and 0 degrees Celsius.
Not so fast. Are we dealing with fresh water, salt water, or pure water? What is the barometric pressure, or altitude of the area? What is the mass of the body of water in question? Is the water stagnant, or in motion? Answers to EACH of these questions will have an impact on the freezing point of water. Is this temperature not "objectively" true? Of course not. We know at what temperature water freezes, and we can predict how this freezing point will be impacted by any of the above "situationally dependent" factors. As is often the case with objective truths, in order to give an accurate answer, we need as much data as possible. This does not make the arrived conclusion any less objective, so long as it remains based on evidence, and demonstrable facts.
And what of the problem of multiple answers to a given question? This is hardly a problem at all. Even in mathematics, a recognized objective realm, we can often have equations or problems that will have more than one solution. This does not make any of the answers "subjective", but rather means that there are numerous objectively correct answers to the problem.
Other times, however, we can define a "good" or "correct" answer, by what it is not. That is to say, we can eliminate "wrong" or "incorrect" answers, even if there are numerous right answers, or the correct answer is unknown. In his below linked speech, Sam Harris discusses the example of food. He asks "what is food", and points out that you can get a wide variety of answers, without collapsing the objective science of nutrition. But I wish to examine a different version of Sam's example, by asking a question that is almost completely subjective. Even in these instances, where the "correct" answers will be highly subjective, we are still able to eliminate incorrect answers as "objectively" wrong.
If I were to ask you "what is the greatest imaginable food?", we now have a question that calls for a relatively subjective answer. You may decide to answer "ice cream", because it is delicious, you may answer "broccoli", because it is nutritious, or you may even decide to answer "steak", because you have good taste! Any of these answers could be viewed as acceptable answers to my question, and you could provide reasoning and argument to support your decision. If, however, you answered "tire iron", I would have to insist that you have misunderstood my question. You answer is "objectively" incorrect. There isn't any evidence, or reasoning, to support that this is a valid response to my question, unless we begin changing the definitions of every word that was used in my inquiry.
The question of morality is much like this. Our answers to many moral questions may be situationally dependent, and we may require as much specific knowledge of the situation as possible in order to give a truly accurate answer. We may have moral dilemmas to which there are multiple "correct" answers. We may even have situations in moral discussion where the correct answer isn't clear, or is highly contested. In such situations, however, we are not incapable of eliminating, or condemning, obviously wrong answers to the dilemma. Answers that have no evidential support, and do not reasonably present a solution to the given problem. None of this, at the end of the day, threatens the objectivity of morality.
David Hume I presume?
In his work, A Treatise of Human Nature, David Hume raises the famous complaint that one can not derive an "ought" from an "is". His point here is that, essentially, science is capable of telling us what is, but incapable of telling what we should do. After all, how DOES one get an "ought" from an "is"?
Now, there have been many responses to this question in the history of meta-ethics, but I will not bore you with every last one of them. Instead, I find Sam Harris' response to this non-problem to be rather succinct. In responding to the complaint that we cannot get an "ought" from an "is", he is quick to point out that we cannot ascertain any "is" without first having "oughts"! Scientific understandings could not have happened if we did not first have certain values. We ought to value evidence, we ought to seek an understanding of the world around us, we ought to embrace logic, and reason. With these oughts in tow, many "is" truths emerge.
So clearly we can derive an "is" from an "ought", but what about the reverse? Does our knowledge about what "is" inform what "ought" to be? Of COURSE it does. Each of us does this everyday.
My shift at work IS from 9am to 5pm
My livelihood IS dependent on showing up for work
It IS 8:30 am
It IS a 20 minute drive to work
I OUGHT to get my ass out of bed
We make every decision on ought, based upon what is. How could it possibly be any other way? Even if you ask a theist why certain oughts ARE oughts, they will respond with reasoning like "there IS a god, there IS a commandment from the god to do the following". In order to make any decision on what "ought" to be, we must necessarily know what "is". One of the most common complaints, when a person is incapable of making a decision, is "I don't have all of the facts" or "I need more information".
The basic truth is, without a rational understanding of the world around us, matters of ought become entirely meaningless. How would one know whether or not they "ought" to jump out of a window or not, without knowing about gravity? How could one even begin to form a value system, without first understanding the nature of reality? This suggestion doesn't even make the least bit of sense. If we dismiss the "is" as nothing more than an explanation of what exists, we ignore the undeniable fact that all of our decisions are based upon these truths. Oughts inform what "is", and what "is" informs our oughts. Hume's "dilemma" is nothing more than wordplay. These two elements are intrinsically linked, and they always have been.
It's just an opinion
Philosophically speaking, there is almost nothing that ISN'T an opinion. This objection misses several crucial points, chief among them being that there is a very big difference between an opinion, and an informed opinion. Facts are, in every sense, nothing more than opinions that are based on sound reasoning, evidence, and observation.
So when we speak about factual matters, we needn't constantly qualify that "all facts are based on subjective observation and inquiry". We recognize, in intellectually honest circles, that facts are solid knowledge, based on evidence and data. They are not, however, dogmatically asserted to be absolute truths. When we say that it is a fact that we live on a planet that orbits the sun, we mean to say that ALL evidence we have available suggests this to be the case. Could we be wrong? Technically, but we can demonstrate that we are not, using evidence. It is therefore a fact, and few people have a hard time understanding this. If the same methodology can be applied to matters of morality, then we are dealing with a factual realm of inquiry.
That's NOT "objective"
Speaking of "opinions", this brings me to the next objection. I have spoken to many people, some whom even agree with my model of morality, who object to the use of the term "objective". In doing so, many point to a philosophical definition of objective that emphasizes that, to be objective, a given thing must be entirely free of ANY bias, or opinion. The complaint here is that, if anything is dependent on a mind to understand it, it must necessarily be subjective, and therefore not objective.
There are multiple problems with this objection. For starters, and most importantly, the above definition is NOT the only, or even most commonly used, definition of objective. This may be one deployment of the term, but it is not what is meant when the term is used scientifically. The scientific definition for objective is "based on evidence, observation, and facts, not tainted by personal feelings or bias". In the very definition, observations and evidence, are offered as the basis for objectivity.
Science often speaks of "objective" evidence, or "objective" reality. When doing so, they are not speaking of absolutes, independent of any possible interpretation. Indeed science does not deal in any such dogma. Instead, they are recognizing that, philosophically speaking, EVERY human understanding, statement, knowledge, truth, or fact, will be "subjective" in the absolute sense. Just as every "fact", as stated above, could technically be called an opinion. Because of this, subjective is used to describe opinions or truths that are reliant upon personal opinion, or subject to extreme bias. Meanwhile, objective facts or truths are those that are based on evidence, and are demonstrable to anyone who wishes to "see the work". The Theory of Gravity, Theory of Evolution, and Germ Theory, are all objective truths in the scientific community. This is to say that they are explanations based on demonstrable facts, observable phenomena, and tangible evidence.
The second problem with this objection is that it can be leveled at literally ANYTHING we hold as true. As mentioned, all of our knowledge is, on some philosophical level, subjective in this sense. If it is a complaint that can be leveled at anything, it is hardly compelling when leveled at any one given thing. It is a line of radical skepticism that leads us dangerously close to the next objection that I sometimes encounter.
Post Modernism
This is a method that questions whether we can ever really "know" anything. Knowledge is essentially illusory. From the wiki article on the subject, "postmodernist approaches are critical of the possibility of objective knowledge of the real world", and "postulates that many, if not all, apparent realities are only social constructs and are therefore subject to change".
The first question I have for someone, essentially claiming objective knowledge to be impossible, is "how do you KNOW that?" This position, aside from being bizarre, is rather self-defeating. You can use post modernistic approaches to attack the underpinnings of all of the world's most basic knowledge if you like, but it does not leave you with anywhere to go epistemologically. It is also possible to question the ideas of post modernism, WITH post modernism. This method leaves one chasing their own tail in a hurry.
We needn't have absolute certainty, for knowledge to be relevant. As this post is going to be long enough without delving into evidentialism, or various other philosophical epistemologies, I will simply sum up my position with regards to post modernism. Either we have REASONS for believing something to be true, or we do not. Either we have evidence to support our understandings, or we do not. Either we can investigate the world around us, in a logical, consistent, and rational manner, or we can not. And if you state that we can not, would you not have to provide REASONING for your assertion? Would you not need to deploy the very process you condemn, in order to establish your idea? In total, I feel like post modernism is summed up best by Russell Glasser, a host of a cable access show in Austin, TX, called The Atheist Experience. He hits the nail right on the head when he remarks "post modernists are annoying".
In Summary
So is it really this simple? Is science really all that is necessary to unlock moral truths? Well, yes and no. Yes, we can deploy an objective, and scientific approach to morality, that will help us to arrive at objective moral truths. No, this will not be remotely simple. As with anything worth knowing, it requires a great deal of thought, hard work, and desire, to get it right. Morality is a question that has been with our species since the beginning of history, and it is one that will, in all likelihood, remain with us until the end of time. I apologize to anyone who thought that they would read this and find the easy, ready-made answers to all of life's difficult ethical dilemmas. Unfortunately, no such things exist. Any attempt at simplifying morality is in vain. Every explain-all solution, such as the god hypothesis, comes up woefully short. The basic fact remains that decisions on morality, ethics, and well-being, are often complex, nuanced, and impossible to reduce to a list of universal do's and dont's.
This is hardly cause to fret, however. As is hopefully clear, we are not lost in a sea of moral relativism, or incapable of finding answers to moral questions, however complex they may be. Morality is, at its core, an objective discipline. Through science, reason, observation, and experience, we can work our way to moral understandings, and truths. We may never have all of the answers. There may always be more to be discovered. We must always remain vigilant in challenging the truths to which we already hold. In doing so, however, we can take comfort in the fact that we needn't do so blindly, or in the context of a culturally relative attitude. Instead, we can investigate, and reason towards, answers to moral dilemmas that are true, correct, and OBJECTIVE.
Morality, in the end, is far more than just an illusion. Rather, it is the science of understanding, and improving, the experience of life.

Dooku makes me laugh. You're trying to secure information that could turn the tide of the war, and you entrust the whole operation to a bunch of droids and that goofy ass warden? Damn right that needs your personal attention.
Whether it's intentional or not on the part of the writers, I chalk this up to the fact that Dooku and Sidious are truly just playing both sides for their own gains. They really don't care who "wins" and if you think about - Sidious really doesn't want the CIS to win, he wants to be in the position as chancellor to reform the Republic into an Empire and become Emperor - it would have to work slightly differently if the CIS wins the war....So the CIS is really just making enough "noise" in the galaxy to make the war drag on, which in turn allows for the Republic to point the finger at the Jedi for causing the war to linger. I thought the fact that Tarkin pointed that out in this episode and that Anakin agreed with him was probably the most important piece of dialog in the entire episode.
