Research & Publications
Research Summary
Dr. Brodsky's major clinical research involves the study of aplastic anemia, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria and other bone marrow failure disorders. His research shows that immunoablative doses of cyclophosphamide, without bone marrow transplantation, can lead to durable complete remissions in severe aplastic anemia. The reason high-dose cyclophosphamide is able to ablate the effector cells without destroying hematopoietic stem cells is that the earliest stem cells (but not lymphocytes) contain high levels of aldehyde dehydrogenase conferring resistance to the cytoxic properties of cyclophosphamide. Dr. Brodsky and his colleagues in neurology and rheumatology are applying this approach in other severe autoimmune disorders including, scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, multiple sclerosis and autoimmune hematologic disorders.
Dr. Brodsky's major laboratory interests relate to the study of normal and abnormal hematopoiesis. Specifically his lab studies PIG-A gene mutations in aplastic anemia. His group has developed a novel diagnostic assay for PNH based on the pore forming toxin (aeromonas hydrophila).

Historical Cash Dividend Payout Ratio (TTM) Data

About Cash Dividend Payout Ratio
Proportion of free cash flow (after preferred dividends) that is paid as dividends to common shareholders. If Microsoft generates 50 million in operating cash flow, has capital expenditures of 20 million, pays preferred dividends 10 million and pays common dividends 5 million, Microsoft has a cash dividend payout ratio of 25%. 5/(50-20-10)
Because net earnings can be easily manipulated and cash flows are harder to manipulate, this ratio is useful to analyze cash flow being paid in dividends. If this number is consistently high, or greater than 1, it indicates that the firm is paying out more in dividends than it is receiving in actual cash.
For more information on evaluating valuation multiples similar to this, please see our original white paper research : Making Sense Of Valuation Multiples.

Autumn Activities in Rotorua New Zealand
Avoid the crowds and experience the best activities and the beauty of Rotorua during the autumn.
1 / 5
No visit to New Zealand would be complete without experiencing the city of Rotorua. The city's unique mix of geothermal, cultural and adventure attractions make Rotorua a world renowned destination.
Autumn is a great time of year to visit Rotorua and the rest of New Zealand as the cities and countryside is completely transformed by the colourful autumn displays and it is much more pleasant once the busy summer crowds and hot weather has subsided.
Here are just a few of the great activates that can be enjoyed during an autumn visit to Rotorua.
Have an early breakfast and take a leisurely drive 20 minutes south of Rotorua to catch the Lady Knox Geyser. The spectacular natural geothermal display erupts 10-20 metres (30-60 feet) at 10.15am every day at Waiotapu Thermal Wonderland.
When visiting make sure visit the Rainbow Crater and Champagne Pools and attend the presentation from a local knowledgably guide in the natural amphitheatre to learn about the history of the creation of the Waiotapu thermal area.
Following the geothermal wonders head back to Rotorua to experience the thrill of a flying fox canopy tour in New Zealand native forest. Rated one of the best attractions in the country, Rotorua Canopy Tours is an unforgettable 3 hour eco-adventure through the tree tops of ancient native New Zealand forest. Two expert guides will accompany your group deep within a 500 hectare block of Department of Conservation forest where you will experience trail walking, 10 treetop platforms, 6 ziplines (flying fox) and 2 swing bridges offering the perfect mix of adventure and the natural environment.
This is a great activity for the entire family to enjoy as it is exciting and manageable for both young and old.
If a quiet day out on the golf course sounds more like you, then you must visit the Rotorua Golf Club. Visitors are welcomed at one of the most unique golf courses in the country, if not the world. Located in the Whakarewarewa geothermal area the full 18 hole golf course is home to hazards like no other, such as boiling mud pools and hot springs. When you're not losing golf balls out on the fairways the club also has exceptional licensed clubrooms open for everyone to enjoy.
After a full on day, soak up the tranquillity at Polynesian Spa in one of their hot mineral pools or rejuvenate with one of their luxurious spa therapies. Rated one of the top 10 natural health spas in the world this is an absolute must do. The Acidic and Alkaline waters at Polynesian Spa are renowned for their therapeutic properties and are said to relieve tired muscles, aches and pains, and even arthritis and rheumatism. There is also a large heated family swimming pool and a slide to keep the younger family members entertained while the adults relax.
For the perfect family accommodation in Rotorua look no further than the Golden Glow Motel. This newly refurbished 4 star Rotorua Motel is centrally located, close walking distance to the Rotorua shopping centre, and only a few minutes' drive to the great autumn attractions mentioned, as well as many more. Their spacious, self-contained family rooms have their own private hot spa pools as well as free wireless internet and off street parking.

Another swellerific Flickr set – filler cartoons from the index and dictionary of the Famous Artists course, 1960 edition. This particular copy I came across had the student's name embossed on the cover… which kinda makes me wonder if Alita Knowlton got a chuckle or two from these little gags.
While the book doesn't credit the artist who did these cartoons, they're pretty wonderful. I scanned all 30 or so of them for the Flickr set; some highlights are below.

FORT WAYNE, Ind. --- Lees-McRae senior Matt Harpenau (15) and sophomore Brady Markle (11) registered double digit kills, but LMC fell 11-25, 22-25, 15-25 to No. 12 IPFW in nonconference action Friday night at Gates Sports Center in Fort Wayne, Ind.
The Mastodons (14-4) used an efficient offensive attack while hitting .429 on the evening. The Bobcats (12-8) dropped their third consecutive match after winning seven of their prior eight.
IPFW set the tone early with an 8-0 run to open play, thanks to three service aces. Markle (York, Pa.) delivered a pair of kills, but the Bobcats still trailed 17-8.
The Mastodons capped off the set with an 8-3 run following consecutive service aces from David Frazee and a trio of kills from three different players and swung at a match-high .529.
Harpenau (Cincinnati, Ohio) knotted up the middle set at eight's with a pair of kills. IPFW's Eddie Rivera responded with authority by earning three of the next four points via kill to create some separation on the scoreboard.
The Mastodons' Andrew Sellan and Bryan Saunders combined for a block to keep the lead at four.
However, LMC responded with a strong push cut the deficit to two, twice.
IPFW staved off the fiesta Bobcat squad while Saunders chipped in a kill before an LMC attack error concluded the second set.
The home squad produced three of their 11 aces to jump out to a 10-5 in the final set.
Rivera connected on one of his 10 kills to push the lead to seven, 15-8.
IPFW continued its strong play while Sellan made it 20-10.
The Mastodons kept LMC at arm's length to complete the sweep.
IPFW hit better than .380 in each set while Sellan (12) paced the team in kills. Gabriel Quinones dished out 17 assists while Rivera had four aces.
LMC's Randy Ramirez (Guaynabo, Puerto Rico) paved the way with 28 assists while a trio of Bobcats had four digs. Josh Cothron (Bradenton, Fla.) led the team with three block assists.
Coach Dave Schmidlin's squad wraps up its nonconference slate when it travels to Muncie, Ind. to play Ball State Saturday at 7 p.m.

Ok, I got my level 10 the other day and I've had a bit of an experience installing it.
I have an older valve with an old school AGD tourney lock and finally after playing with carriers and breaking in orings, it looks like the 1.5 works. (I sense a pattern here)
I'm also using three shims, although I think I might experiment with 4.
Here's my problem though.
Using the shortest spring I need to screw my velocity nut almost all the way in for the bolt to cycle.
If I try moving up to the next spring, nothing happens at all when I pull the trigger.
I called the AGD tech line and Jon thinks that I may need a new spring pack. They're not supposed to wear out, but he's the one of the techiest techs there is so I went ahead and spent the 12 bucks to order one from Joann.
Hopefully it works. With the short spring the bolt will stop on a dowel or squeegee, but just from looking at it, I'm not sure if I want to stick my finger in there. When the new spring pack comes in (don't have anything to test it with except maybe a flatline spring pack) I'll try again.

Solid People, Seem Tentative
Fund: Noro-Moseley Partners
Posted by Anonymous on 2010-07-08
Could be the overall climate, but this team seems tentative in their decision making right now. As compared to others I have been pitching over the recent couple of months, they were very slow in the process and seemed to always need "level 3" detail after previously saying they just needed to get to "level 2" on this or that.
On the other hand, very smart and super nice guys. Enjoyed working with them even though we are unlikely to work together for the current deal. One of the most respected southeast region VCs, according to most CEOs I know on the east coast and southeast.PRIVATE: Members Only (231 Characters)

On Wednesday, I wrote about an iPhone and Android app that tells you how strong a cell carrier's data and voice services are in your area. The developer, RootMetrics, also posts reports about the overall state of wireless in a variety of major markets, and I wrote that Houston wasn't among the cities featured on a page listing them.
But it turns out there is indeed a report for Houston. RootMetrics released one at the end of May [PDF] that examines the quality of service in Houston provided by AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile and Verizon. While the report highlights the companies' 4G data networks, it also provides some eye-opening statistics about voice and texting services as well.
RootMetrics gathered the data for the report in two ways, according to spokesperson Ann Marie Ricard. Some of it was pulled from the reports generated by users of its Coverage Map app. The research company also rolled into town and spent a week conducting tests here, prowling the streets with off-the-shelf Android smartphones, to create the report. [Note: RootMetrics' spokesperson emailed to clarify that the city reports do not include data from the app. However, an interactive map into which users can enter a city name does include data from both processes.]
Among its findings: Verizon not only has the fastest 4G network in Houston, but it's also faster here than in other markets RootMetrics has tested. Verizon's LTE network kicks some serious butt, according to the report:
We recorded average download speeds that were over 3 times faster than the 2nd fastest download network (Sprint) and average upload speeds nearly 5 times faster than the 2nd fastest upload network (T-Mobile).
Where does AT&T fall in that ranking? Unfortunately, at the time RootMetrics was in town, the only AT&T phone that worked with Ma Bell 2.0's 4G HSPA+ data network was the Infuse 4G, and it needed a not-yet-delivered firmware update to achieve true 4G speeds.
Verizon's LTE network was also deemed the most reliable, with devices able to connect to it 97 percent of the time. AT&T was next with 96 percent, followed by Sprint with 87 percent and T-Mobile with 76 percent.
RootMetrics' report notes that Verizon's network had just been launched, with few customers and not many devices accessing it. As traffic on the LTE network increases, speeds may decrease, the report says.
The company also measured voice call service, and its tests determined that T-Mobile had failed calls 12 percent of the time, followed by AT&T at 3 percent, just over 1 percent for Verizon and less than .4 percent for Sprint. In terms of dropped calls, Houston did much better than many other markets tested, with no carrier dropping calls more than 1.3 percent of the time.
RootMetrics also checked SMS performance, something often overlooked in other carrier performance tests. The lowest was T-Mobile, with a text delivery time of 6.3 seconds, while AT&T pulled up the rear with a 15.8-second delivery time.
RootMetrics takes all these data points and uses them to generate an overall ranking. Verizon comes out on top with a RootMetrics Score of 86.2 percent.
Does RootMetrics' report jibe with your experience with your current carrier?

text: During last 3 decades fertility rate decreased from 3.7 to 2.5 children per woman. Why do woman give less births today compared to 90s and 80s? Actually there are many different reasons. And one of them is education. The more women are engaged in education the less is the fertility rate. The highest fertility rates now are in African countries, where only about 20% of women get secondary education. On the contrary, in developed countries, where school enrollment rate among women is almost 100%, fertility rate is below 2 children per woman.

Apple's iPhone and its rivals may have introduced touchscreens to the masses, but now a raft of technologies promise to change the way we interact with computers forever.
You're in fast moving traffic on a busy motorway approaching a complicated junction with just seconds to get into the right lane. Your phone, sensing that now is not the moment to disturb you, diverts an incoming call straight to voicemail. Later, when you are in a more relaxed state, it plays the message back and offers to ring the caller back.
Even if you are packing an iPhone 5 or the latest Samsung, it is fair to say that your phone is still a long way from doing this. Despite the impressive array of features offered by today's handsets – including voice commands - most people still interact with their phones by pressing buttons, prodding a screen or the occasional swipe or pinch.
It is a similar story with computers. Take Microsoft's new Windows 8 operating system, due to be launched later this week. Its colourful, tile-laden start screen may look startlingly different to older versions of Windows, but beneath the eye candy it's still heavily reliant on the keyboard and mouse.
In fact, with one or two notable exceptions, it is striking just how little the way we interact with computers has changed in the last few decades.
"The keyboard and mouse are certainly a hard act to follow," says George Fitzmaurice, head of user interface research for US software maker Autodesk. But, despite an apparent lack of apparent novelty in the majority of interfaces of today's mass market devices, there are plenty of ideas in the pipeline.
Take, for instance, technology that can monitor your stress levels. One technique being developed is functional near-infrared spectroscopy(fNIRS) that monitors oxygen levels in the blood, and therefore activity, in the front of the brain. "It measures short term memory workload, which is a rough estimate of how 'busy' you are," says Robert Jacob, professor of computer science at Tufts University, near Boston, Massachusetts.
The technology is currently used in medical settings, but could one day be used to help filter phone calls, for example. Today fNIRS works via a sensor placed on your forehead, but it could also be built into baseball caps or headbands, allowing the wearer to accept only important calls. Perhaps more immediately, it could also help organisations assign workloads efficiently. "You could tell your phone only to accept calls from your wife if you get busy beyond a certain gradation of brain activity," adds Jacob. "If a machine can tell how busy you are it can tell if you can take on an additional workload, or it could take away some of your work and assign it to someone else if you are over-stretched."
Other forms of "brain-computer interface" are already being used and developed for a growing number of applications. Electroencephalography (EEG) picks up electrical signals generated by brain cell interactions. It has long been used to diagnose comas, epilepsy and brain death in hospitals and in neuroscience research. The variation of frequencies of signals generated can be used to determine different emotions and other brain states. Recent years have seen the launch of simplified EEG headsets that sell for as little as $100.
For example, a British company called Myndplay makes interactive short films, games and sports training software which users interact with via these brain wave measuring headsets. Those who can successfully focus their minds or mentally relax sufficiently when required can influence film plots and progress to higher levels in games.
Similar technologies are increasingly being used to help the disabled. Two years ago an Austrian company called Guger Technologies released a system designed to help paralysed patients type by highlighting letters on a grid one by one until the desired letter is selected and the associated EEG signal is detected. Spanish researchers have developed EEG-controlled wheelchairs and are working on using the same method to control prosthetic arms.
Other researchers are working on "emotionally intelligent" interfaces that use cameras to read users' emotions. By analysing facial expressions, these systems can spot universal characteristic signs of anger, confusion or other feelings. Emotions give rise to very similar facial expressions across different cultures, so such systems could be used anywhere, says Peter Robinson, professor of computer technology at the University of Cambridge.
Call centre staff are routinely given training or scripts to help them deal with angry customers, and teachers use facial expressions to understand how well their students are coping with lessons. Researchers are developing systems that provide computers with similar information using algorithms that analyse the position of features such as the mouth and eyebrows in images of a user's face. "If a computer can tell that the student is confused then it could adopt the same techniques as a human teacher, perhaps by presenting information differently, or by providing more examples," says Robinson.
Air kick
While these kinds of systems try make the interface almost invisible, another option tries to integrate existing technologies like cameras, sensors, screens and computers into everyday objects. This approach – known as "tangible computing" - would allow anyone to interact with computers using physical "things" rather than through special input devices. For example, you could indicate your chess move to a computer by moving a piece on a physical board rather than by entering your move using a keyboard and mouse.
Already, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the US are beginnign to explore the extremes of this notion, proposing everything from building blocks and trays of sand to sheets of malleable material and levitating balls to control on-screen experiences.
"The mouse and keyboard won't go away completely as they are an extremely fast and efficient way of interacting with computers, but we are going to see a lot more manipulating and placing of real life things," says David Kurlander, formerly of Microsoft's User Interface and Graphics Research Group. "We'll also see more pointing, speech, and combinations of these." He also predicts that flat surfaces such as tabletops, walls or windows will be used as display screens, with images projected from personal projectors mounted on clothing or worn around the neck.
Gamers have become used to controlling games consoles with physical movements using devices such as the Kinect - Microsoft's motion-sensing device that can track the movement of objects in three dimensions using a camera and depth sensor. And the software giant has even created software that could allow people to use a Windows 8 machine using Kinect. Inevitably, comparisons are drawn with the futuristic user interface used by Tom Cruise's character in the film Minority Report to manipulate vast swathes of information and swipe it around multiple virtual screens using extravagant arm movements. However interface experts are sceptical of Hollywood's take on the future.
"People tend to be lazy and large arm movements are very tiring, so I think it is very doubtful that people will ever be communicating with computers using dramatic gestures when they could achieve the same results with a mouse or their voice, or some other way, such as tiny finger movements," says Kurlander.
This last idea is the concept behind Leap, a small 3D motion sensing device that sits in front of the a computer and allows users to browse websites, play games or use other software using finger and hand movements. An impressive promotional video released earlier this year by its creators Leap Motion, based in San Francisco, shows examples including someone navigating around a satellite image of a city with mid-air swipes and pinches, and then using thumb movements to fire a gun in a first person shoot 'em up game. The $70 gadget is due on the market early next year.
But if all of this sounds too energetic - or perhaps dangerous – for an open-plan office, there are other less exhausting ways of communicating with your computer. For example, systems that track eye movements are already used to help those with disabilities. Applications include controlling wheelchairs and as a substitute for traditional keyboards as a means of typing. Steven Feiner, professor of computer science at Columbia University, and leading augmented reality researcher, believes eye tracking interfaces will become commonplace. "If you look in a particular place or direction, that could be the signal to call up certain information," he says. "For example, you could look into the top right of your field of vision to call up the time, or perhaps your latest email message."
Under the skin
Augmented reality, as this is known, does away with the need for separate screens by overlaying information from computers directly into a user's field of vision using glasses, contact lenses or some form of head-mounted visor. "What we are trying to do is integrate information with the world around you, so that instead of looking at information in a separate place to a thing, you see it in the space of the thing," he says.
The field was first envisaged as far back as the 1960s, but only now is the technology becoming available to make it practical. Some recent innovations have come close. Earlier this year Google demonstrated Project Glass, a system which projects information such as incoming calls and emails onto the user's glasses. This isn't really augmented reality because the content is unrelated to what the wearer is looking at. Some argue that mobile phone apps that provide information related to tourist attractions or the night sky when these are viewed through the device's camera also fall short because they track the position and orientation of the camera rather than the user's eye movements.
True augmented reality will allow a maintenance engineer to look at an engine, read repair instructions and see specific components highlighted all within his field of vision. It could also be used in corporate meetings and even at dinner parties to call up people's names and other information about them just by looking at them, for example.
The logical conclusion to this form of augmented reality design might be a system embedded within the user's eyes. Such technology is clearly far off enough to deserve to be placed in the realm of science fiction, embedding other interface devices into other parts of the body, such as just under the skin, may not be. For example, tiny embedded computers or sensors that interface with the human body itself could prove extremely useful or even lifesaving. Some researchers have already begun to explore this notion, implanting tiny chips under their skin to control doors and lights in a building. Imagine red LEDs lighting up beneath your skin when you've drunk too much to drive, or a device that warns you when your blood pressure or cholesterol level become dangerously high.
Of course, these specialist applications are a far cry from something that would replace the keyboard and mouse, says Autodesk's Fitzmaurice. "You could have buttons to control an MP3 player, for example, and the benefit would be that they would always be with you and would never get lost, but would you really want them under your skin?"
In most cases, the answer is likely no. Perhaps best to hold on to that qwerty keyboard for a while longer yet.

In the last two weeks, we've pointed out that Fox News' graphics department stunningly failed to accurately portray the fact that the unemployment rate dropped from 9 percent to 8.6 percent in November.
But Fox's graphics woes apparently aren't limited to misrepresenting the unemployment rate. Tonight, the network's premiere "straight news" political program, Special Report with Bret Baier, did a segment on possible paths to victory for President Obama's re-election campaign. And in one graphic, Fox mislabeled Utah as Nevada:
Soon afterward, Fox mislabeled Vermont as New Hampshire:
It seems that Fox's 2009 pledge of "zero tolerance for on-screen errors" has not worked very well.
(h/t Twitter user DiagnosticsCT)
UPDATE: This also isn't the first time Fox has had problems with maps.
In July 2009, Fox aired this confused map of the Middle East:
And in March, a Fox map stated that Japan had a nuclear power plant in "Shibuyaeggman," an apparent reference to a Tokyo dance club.

Every week, editors Adam Bryant and Natalie Abrams satisfy your need for TV scoop. Please send all questions to firstname.lastname@example.com or tweet them to @adam_bryant or @NatalieAbrams
What's next for Cam on Bones now that we know about her relationship with Arastoo? — Elizabeth
ADAM: There will still be a great deal of secrecy around the relationship. "Cam would like this to be a secret because it's slightly unprofessional to be having an affair with one of your underlings," creator Hart Hanson tells us. "She decides the fate of the interns even more than Brennan does. So it's an uncomfortable position for her, but she's managing to keep it compartmentalized." Or at least she is until it impacts her relationship with her daughter. "It has an effect on Michelle and that's the next story we tell," Hanson teases. "What secrets do you keep and for what reason?"
Do you have any Vampire Diaries scoop to help heal my broken heart over the Stefan-Elena breakup? — Helen
NATALIE: I don't think this is going to help. There will be mass casualties in the midseason finale, including someone you've known since Season 1. My lips are sealed, but you can hit the comments with your guesses!
I'm really loving Nashville, y'all! Can you give me scoop? — Jenni
ADAM: Wednesday's midseason finale features big developments for several of the show's romantic pairings. Look for at least one breakup, a long-awaited kiss, a proposal and an (accidental?) overdose. Love is a crazy thing!
Loved the Once Upon a Time midseason finale. What's coming up when the show returns? — Joan
NATALIE: The Charming family has been reunited, but look for more bad news on the horizon. When we asked Ginnifer Goodwin and Jennifer Morrison about the joyous reunion, they both offered up ominous answers that may or may not have to do with the arrival of Hook and Cora. "It's, of course, short-lived because yet another obstacle is going to be thrust between all of these characters," Goodwin says, with Morrison adding, "New terrible things need to happen for us to work out." Any guesses as to what's in store for the Storybrooke gang?
I don't want this season of Sons of Anarchy to end. What's coming up? — Brandon
ADAM: You certainly haven't seen the last of Donal Logue's character, retired U.S. Marshal Lee Toric. "We signed him for 10 episodes," creator Kurt Sutter says. "So I think he will be in at least six or seven episodes next season, maybe eight." That's no doubt bad news for Jax and Tara, who were somewhat complicit in the murder of Toric's sister. "As a former lawman, he has all the power, all the knowledge, all the contacts, and yet no restraints," Sutter teases. "Now he obviously has a personal grudge. That is a really dangerous guy for these guys to face."
Whoa! Who shot Fitz on Scandal?! — Jack
NATALIE: You wouldn't believe me if I told you — and Shonda Rhimes would kill me if I did. But the identity of the shooter will be revealed this week. In lighter news, Thursday's episode features flashbacks to Fitz's inauguration, including some hot-and-heavy Fitz-Olivia sex scenes... in some scandalous places! (You'll also find out why Olivia resigned, but hot sex sounds more fun, right?)
Since the season-long unsub on Criminal Minds has a connection to the BAU, is it someone we've seen before, like an old unsub? — Pat
ADAM: That would make sense, right? Unfortunately, the show is currently casting someone new to play The Replicator. (However, showrunner Erica Messer hasn't ruled out that the possibility that the new nemesis could also have a connection to a previous unsub.) Meanwhile, the team will finally become more clued in to the villain during next week's episode. "It's not a complete shock since we have seen some replicated murders, but we're not really aware of the extent of his stalking of us yet," Matthew Gray Gubler says.
Wow, Dexter killed Hannah's father. What won't he do for her on Dexter? — Dan
NATALIE: He probably wouldn't look the other way if she tried to kill one of his family members — and considering that Deb is his only family, it should come as no surprise that Dexter will look askance when she gets into a very suspicious-looking car accident. Will he ever be able to have a future with Hannah now? On the bright side, Dexter will try to put the kibosh on LaGuerta and Matthews' investigation into the Bay Harbor Butcher — but that doesn't mean Maria has really given up.
Julia, Joel and Victor's adoption story line on Parenthood has been so emotional. Will things get any easier? — Trisha
ADAM: Not exactly. When it comes time for Julia and Joel to file papers to formally adopt Victor, stay-at-home mom Julia will struggle with the decision much more than Joel, because Victor has never said he loves her. Also, it doesn't help matters when Victor drops a dime on his new parents. Yup, you read that right.
Please tell me The Walking Dead's Daryl won't die!?! Will Andrea save him? — Harold
NATALIE: That's the big question — and based on this, it's not looking like Andrea, who is just as much an outsider, will be of any help. "Where does she belong?" showrunner Glen Mazzara ponders. "She doesn't really belong at Woodbury; she doesn't really even belong at the prison. It'll be very interesting to see Andrea try to straddle both worlds."
What can you say about the new season of Pretty Little Liars? —Julie
ADAM: Three words: Mona is free. Yep, the crazy girl is back at Rosewood High School, and despite her best efforts to persuade the girls that she's all better, they're smart enough not to trust her — especially after they learn that Toby is part of the A Team. "It hits Spencer a lot harder than the other three, so she withdraws a little, [but] ... they become stronger for her," Lucy Hale teases. The bad news: Mona has a new ally that will take the girls completely by surprise.
Thanks for all the Parks and Recreation scoop lately. What else is coming up? — Marcus
NATALIE: A battle of the sexes! Leslie and April will try to prove that women can do any government job that men can do. Unfortunately, that begins with the ladies putting in time at the Department of Sanitation. Meanwhile, Ron will attempt to babysit Diane's girls, but he'll quickly enlist Ann's help to get the job done. For someone in this bunch, it'll end with three special words.
Natalie's Mini Rave: Finally! The Walking Dead's Governor is now officially the sadistic, eye patch-wearing bastard we know from the comics. And we're excited/frightened by what he'll do next.
Adam's Mega Rant: How can the writers of Homeland, a show that is basically about surveillance, conveniently forget that a) the vice presidential residence would be blanketed with security cameras and b) the CIA's tap on Brody's phone would have caught this week's video calls with Abu Nazir?

(note: I don't use MythTV... this is my observation from many complaints from MythTV users)
By default, MythTV downloads Today+1 and Today+14. (or there abouts). I don't remember if it updates Today.
The networks themselves don't know what's on 14 days from now... so since anything past Today+1 is "14 days old" at the time of download, it's a safe bet that most of your guide is inaccurate.
If you want accurate data with MythTV, IMHO you should *always* do a ---dd-grab-all, at least until SD self-hosts the data and can offer update based listings.

Return of the ChipComments
Well, this is good (and surprising) news:
Oregon coach Chip Kelly has decided to turn down a chance to go to the NFL and instead will return to the Ducks, according to league sources.
Kelly was intrigued with the Philadelphia Eagles' head coaching job but decided he wasn't comfortable leaving the college game.
The Cleveland Browns are the only other NFL team known to have interviewed Kelly. The two sides met last week but the Browns decided to reboot their coach search after leaving Arizona late Sunday morning without landing Kelly, sources said.
The Eagles are the only other NFL team known to have interviewed Kelly.
Ducks still have to survive the NCAA's Arbitrary Sanction Dispensation System, but outlook for next year is QUACK.

We liked how Mary Lyn Ray used beautiful language because it made us relate to the feelings of the characters in the story. I (MIchele) think the illustrations are excellent because they match the words perfectly. I (Christina) like how Mary Lyn Ray said, "He could feel a heavy black shadow all the way home."
We recommend this book to people who never give up. This is a great book for people who believe in what is right. We also recommend this book to people who like crafting.

VALDOSTA, Ga. | West Alabama entered Saturday's game looking for another monumental win over conference foe Valdosta State.
Instead, the Tigers were routed by the Blazers, 49-21, in the second round of the NCAA Division II playoffs in Valdosta.
"Obviously, it is a very disappointing day for West Alabama," Tigers head coach Will Hall said. "It is a very disappointing day for us. We had hoped to perform better today, but I told those guys in there that we did four things this year that had never been done in the history of the world and that is something to hold our heads high about. Getting to the sweet 16 at West Alabama and winning an outright Gulf South Conference championship is something special. It is unfortunate that this had to end for us today."
After racing out to a 14-0 lead early in the first quarter, West Alabama was dominated by the Blazers in the second meeting between the teams this season.
Unlike in their 39-28 win over the Blazers back on Sept. 22, the Tigers were limited to just 187 yards of total offense, including just 69 yards on the ground.
West Alabama quarterback Gary Johnston was held to just 27 yards rushing and 73 yards passing, although Johnston was able to rush for two early touchdowns to put the Tigers ahead 14-0.
"They didn't miss as many tackles in the second half," Johnston said. "They did a good job preparing for us. I'm sure Coach (David) Dean said something about wrapping up in the second half and they came out and did it."
After taking a 20-12 lead into halftime, following Johnston's 23-yard touchdown connection with Dakota Daniel, West Alabama was dominated in the second half and was held to five punts, a fumble and two turnover on downs in the second half.
Valdosta State opened the scoring in the second half with a 4-yard touchdown run by freshman Austin Scott (20 rushes, 133 yards, 3 touchdowns) midway through the third quarter. On the ensuing West Alabama offensive play, VSU defensive tackle Lawrence Virgil forced a fumble and the Blazers offense cashed in on the next play with a 10-yard rushing score from GSC Freshman of the Year Cedric O'Neal (12 rushes, 50 yards, 3 touchdowns).
"I thought when we fumbled, that is really when (momentum) shifted," Hall said. "I thought the fumble and the score and then they got the two-point, I thought that whole series of events was where it shifted. We never bounced back from that."
From there, the Blazers added two more touchdowns from O'Neal and another by Scott to ice the game.
"We came out and got some points early. They had made some mistakes to help us, but we didn't match their energy level in the second half and they kind of pounded on us," Hall said. "Credit to Coach Dean and his staff, they did a phenomenal job getting ready for us; they had a great plan. They outclassed us today and they beat us in nearly ever facet of the game."
Valdosta State will face Carson-Newman in the national quarterfinals next Saturday.
