In today's Financial Sense Market Wrap, market commentator address the issue of whether the long term interest rates are heading higher. Conclusion: Long Term Interest Rates are Heading Higher
The recent market selloff was accompanied by a flight to the safety of Treasuries. Stocks down, bonds up – recently we've seen this seemingly day after day. However, it is important to note that in spite of this short term action, the long term trend in long interest rates has changed from down to up. Even though rallies in the bond market (interest rates lower) have been sharp and convincing, the long view supports the conclusion that long term interest rates are heading higher. One technical chart supporting this conclusion is illustrated below. Upward trending interest rates that occurred in the 1960's finally topped in 1982. High rates of inflation accompanied the rising long term trend in interest rates. The secular bull market in stocks began in 1982, and this generally corresponded to the start of a long interest rate downtrend. Stocks bottomed when interest rates topped. From 1982 until recently, there was an active downtrend in long term interest rates; however, the trend of lower interest rates is likely over, and long term interest rates are likely in a young secular uptrend.
Below is a weekly chart of the 10-year Treasury note yield from 1990 to the present. The bottoming of interest rates in mid-2003 was followed by a series of higher highs and higher lows shown on the right hand side of the chart. In spite of the current bond market rally caused by an apparent flight to safety, this was only sufficient to produce a settling back of interest rates to the 2-year (104 week) moving average (thus far). This "flight to safety" appears only as an insignificant tick in the far right side of the long term chart.
Similarly, the 30-year Treasury note yield is illustrated below. The top annotated line simply connects the important interest rate highs, and the bottom line connects the important lows. It is apparent that the highs have leveled out, and the lows are now trending higher. Conclusion: The long term trend of long interest rates is higher. What would invalidate this conclusion? A decisive break of the trend of higher lows in the 10-year note yield (above chart), or a decisive break of the trendline defined as higher lows beginning in mid 2005 (below chart).
And the chart below says a thousand words!!!!!!!!!!!

Storage and File Structure Assignment Help
One quality of an RDBMS is self-dependent of rational information structures such as tables, views, and indices from physical storage structures. People can handle physical storage of information without impacting access to rational structures since sensible and physical structures are different. Re-labeling a database file does not re-label the tables kept in it.
An Oracle database is a set of files that store Oracle information in consistent disk storage. When people provide a CREATE DATABASE declaration, this area discusses about the database submits created.
The memory storage which is directly available by the CPU comes under this classification. This storage requires constant power supply in order to keep its state, i.e. in case of power failure all information is lost.
Secondary Storage
The requirement to keep information for longer quantity of time and to keep it even after the power supply is cut off provided life to secondary information storage. Hard disk drives consist of the operating system and typically not eliminated from the computer systems are thought about secondary storage and all other are called tertiary storage.
The rational design of a database system is the right level for the database users to focus on. The objective of a database system is to help in and streamline access to information.
Confluence shops accessories such as images and files in a file system. Confluence's accessory storage design is developed to:
- Limitation the variety of entries at any single level in a directory site structure (as some file systems have a limitation on the variety of files that can be kept in a directory site).
- Partition accessories per area making it possible for a system admin to selectively support accessories from specific areas.
Accessories in Confluence have a variety of recognizing characteristics such as content help of the file itself, the area ID and material ID of the page the file is connected to. This suggests the file logically comes from a piece of material which logically belongs in an area (not all material comes from an area). For files within an area in Confluence, the directory site structure is generally eight levels with the name of each directory site level based upon the following algorithm:
We are experiencing a problem of attempting to get a grip on our file storage. We have actually purchased external hard disks which eventually is our favored approach of storage, through two drives integrated with one another so that everything is supported, and threat of information loss in case of among the drives failing is decreased.
Someone purchased a 500GB hard drive, and began to move all his files to it, not thinking about the reality that he has numerous copies of some files, and a number of copies of others. We understand eventually deduplication is most likely the very best alternative; however he does not wish to invest the cash on the software application (from what he has actually seen this is costly software application).
In the absence of planning experienced the very same outcomes in addition to after purchasing a 1.5 TB, and a couple of 2TB drives.Simply,we have actually not had the ability to get manage on removing redundant copies of files, and obsolete files. Running windows 7 rather than XP has actually strained us in this too, however looking for all document types needs to type all file extensions to consist of in the search and we are paranoid that we might miss out a document.
We require executables divided by energies, operating systems, and so on, however also want.iso files separated from the group. We are sure that we are over-thinking this, however we would like to understand how everybody else keeps their files arranged (folder structure, software application to preserve company) as well as ideas on how to show up at the area we are looking for which is at first getting the files arranged.
A file system (or stripe group) includes a set of disks that are made use of to save file metadata in addition to structures and information used by GPFS ™ consisting of quota files and GPFS healing logs.
When a disk is appointed to a file system, a file system descriptor is composed on each disk. The file system descriptor is composed at a set position on each of the disks in the file system and is made use of by GPFS to recognize this disk and its areas in a file system. The file system descriptor consists of file system requirements and information about the state of the file system.
Within each file system, files are composed to disk as in other UNIX file systems, making use of inodes, indirect blocks, and information blocks. Inodes and indirect blocks are thought about metadata, as identified from information, or real file material. People can manage which disks GPFS uses for saving metadata when people produce the file system making use of the mmcrfs command or when customizing the file system at a later time by releasing the mmchdisk command.
Each file has an inode consisting of details such as file size, time of last adjustment, and extended characteristics. The inodes of small files also include the addresses of all disk obstructs that make up the file information. A huge file can use too numerous information obstructs for an inode to directly attend to.
The metadata for each file is saved in the inode and includes information such as file name, file size, and time of last adjustment. The inodes of small files also include the addresses of all disk obstructs that make up the file information. These trees of added metadata area for a file can hold all of the information obstructs addresses for extremely large files.
When a file is produced using Heap File Organization system, the Operating Systems assigns memory area to that file without any additional accounting information. Lots of Files do not support any buying, sequencing or indexing on its own.
A database file is separated into fixed-length storage devices called blocks. Blocks are devices of both storage allowance and information transfer. Database system looks for to reduce the number of block transfers in between the disk and memory.

Lindfield is well known as an historic village and certainly the High Street is centuries old. However much of Lindfield is less than one hundred years old, in fact the majority of the houses are under fifty years old. Have you ever wondered what was there before the houses were built? Perhaps more specifically, what was the land on which your house now stands used for, or who owned it in the past?
The Lindfield History Project Group attempted to answer these questions and many others at its successful 'Our Lindfield' exhibition held on 6th–7th October 2007 at the King Edward Hall, Lindfield
The exhibition sought to uncover the past and little known facts about each road or area in today's village, in effect rolling back time to reveal Lindfield before the houses. It showed how Lindfield progressed from little more than one road surrounded by farms to the thriving community Lindfield is today. Over a thousand years of history were highlighted to provide a sense of place.
Our studies to build up a comprehensive picture of the development of Lindfield are ongoing. Do you have any photographs, perhaps of your house being built, original sale particulars or any other items relating to your house, road or Lindfield in general? If so please Contact us.

Infertility affects approximately one in six couples during their lifetime. Obesity affects approximately half of the general population and is thus a common problem among the fertile population. Obese women have a higher prevalence of infertility compared with their lean counterparts. The majority of women with an ovulatory disorder contributing to their infertility have polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) and a significant proportion of women with PCOS are obese. Ovulation disorders and obesity-associated infertility represent a group of infertile couples that are relatively simple to treat. Maternal morbidity, mortality and fetal anomalies are increased with obesity and the success of assisted reproductive technology (ART) treatments is significantly reduced for obese women. Body mass index (BMI) treatment limits for ART throughout the UK vary. The mainstay for treatment is weight loss, which improves both natural fertility and conception rates with ART. The most cost-effective treatment strategy for obese infertile women is weight reduction with a hypo-caloric diet. Assisted reproduction is preferable in women with a BMI of 30 kg/m2 or less and weight loss strategies should be employed within primary care to achieve that goal prior to referral.

Black sand surrounds the small bay on the southern tip of the Arctic island. Rugged basalt rocks provide us at least with a little protection from the wind, which is not only ever-present here on the coast.

Standing up a Talent Management Function
The Client
The company is a globally expanding space and aviation company with revenue in the billions.
The Challenge
The company was evolving their HR function to better serve a broadening set of needs. Attracting and retaining top talent has been a key strategy to support the future success of this organization, and for several years, leaders had been asking for formal programs to retain and develop talent at all levels. As a result, the HR leadership team re-organized to address the following challenges:
- Siloed HR culture. Limited communication and disconnected goals across groups
- Leadership transition. A new head of HR was brought in, leading to changes in direction and scope
- Limited talent management expertise. Organization had little to no experience in talent management
SBE was brought in to stand up a talent management program with internal talent management capabilities.
The Solution
We employed a two-pronged approach, focusing first on the newly appointed talent management leader to provide her with training and resources to reference long after our team left. The second part of our approach addressed the most pressing business demand: having a program to assist high-potential employees in managing their careers with the company. We also provided mentoring to selected employees to address immediate retention and development goals.
The Impact
With a newly created talent management function, the client worked with SBE to build a longer term talent management roadmap that addressed career management and retention gaps. This included a career management toolkit and a mentoring package, both of which could be used as standalone programs, complete with seven months of supporting documentation, an application process, and an interview guide for future iterations.

With exams being over, the first thing you would want to do as a student is find a nice place where you can relax and avoid any studying spaces for at least a week (or more…). A couple of months ago I was trying to figure out how to reach to Arndale Centre but as time passed by, I came to know the city and discover some new places every other week. Assignments and projects can take up most of the time, but you should always take some time off to discover the places Manchester and the surroundings have to offer. After all, the Masters course is not only about studying but it is the whole experience. Here are my favourite places which I've discovered so far in Manchester.
If you are looking for a place where you can just relax, have some drinks and have a nice dinner with friends, look no further than Turtle Bay. It's a Jamaican themed restaurant, with nice music and very tasty cocktails. There is one next to the Principal, on Oxford Road and one in the Northern Quarter and even though during the week is not that crowded, on Friday and Saturday tends to get a bit busy, especially during the Happy Hour.
Still, if you just want to dance your exams off, Manchester has a club scene for all music lovers, ranging from EDM to Hip Hop. Some of my favourites are Revolucion de Cuba, History, Lost in Tokyo and the ARK. For concerts, look up the Manchester Academy or Victoria Warehouse and see when your favourite artist will be in Manchester.
I am a foodie and I love discovering new places to eat. If you love Chinese food, Tai Pan is the best option and it is close to the university, so you have to give it a try. It tends to get quite crowded in the weekends so make sure you book a table in advance. For Indian food, Mowgli is a street food Indian restaurant and it has an interesting concept and has a diverse menu, with vegan and gluten free options. For steak and ribs go to Rump' N Ribs and have their famous barbeque ribs or a juicy steak. Either way, prepare your appetite.
If you love brunch as much as I do, Moose Café serves brunch all day and it is delicious. Also, if you believe that a bad coffee can ruin your day, then you should try these independent craft coffee shops such as PKB or Ancoats that serve consistently good coffee.
Manchester is a great city (even though the weather can get a bit annoying) and there still many places I want to go to. So don't forget, between assignments and deadlines to make some time to have dinner with friends or go walk through the city… who knows what hidden gem you might discover.

Q: Can Nutrition Boost Levels of Sun Protection?
A good diet with plenty of healthy fruit and vegetables will ensure maximum benefit from antioxidants – try goji berries or blueberry smoothies for a tasty antioxidant fix that will help to strengthen skin. It has also been shown that oral Vitamin D might be beneficial to guard against melanoma, a potentially lethal form of skin cancer. A large clinical trial is currently looking at a variety of lifestyle factors to determine which are most important, but we will not know the results for a couple of years.
Obviously sun protection factors are also essential to boost your level of sun protection and an SPF of 30+ should be 'de rigueur'. And don't forget to try sunscreens with a tint. Remember that SPFs not only protect against skin cancer they also minimise the effects of photo-ageing. The only other beneficial method to improve your sun protection is to use the immune protectant Niacinamide. This is a vitamin B3 complex and has been shown in scientific studies to confer benefits against skin cancer formation (it also has benefits for acne sufferers too). Topical pharmaceutical grade Vitamin C contained in cosmeceutical products has also been shown to enhance sunscreen protection against free radical damage. I recommend trying products from Medik8 or Rationale Skin Care.
Q: Can Self Tan Provide Protection?
A lesser known fact is that some self tanning agents contain compounds DHA (dihydroxyacetone) and riboflavin that protect the skin from visible light damage. They create opaque chromophores (filters) on the surface of the skin which guard against potential damage, but remember that you should not substitute SPF protection for a self tanning product.
Q: Can Sunbeds ever be Beneficial?
No, no and no again! Getting some natural sun is fine as long as it is in moderation – we need it for vitamin D and also psychologically it is beneficial.
The facts about Skin Cancer
Q: Tell us a Little Bit about Skin Cancer
Skin cancer is now the most common cancer in the world. There are essentially two different types: non-melanoma skin cancer (NMSC) and melanoma. The latter is less common, but has the highest mortality and unfortunately it can affect younger people. The lifetime risk of developing skin cancer in Australia is one in three, compared to about one in 40 in the UK. While the incidence of skin cancer in the UK is significantly less than Australia, our mortality figures are higher and the number of people who have skin cancer in this country is expected to dramatically increase in the next decade. Raising awareness is therefore vital, as early prevention and diagnosis is the key to successful treatment. Getting a tan is no longer cool and the attitude 'it won't happen to me' just doesn't cut anymore – for instance, in Kent and Sussex we have seen an alarming trend in skin cancers affecting the younger age-groups. Changing behavior and educating parents and their children is vital.
Q: What signs should we Look out for regarding skin cancer?
Look out for new or existing moles that are darkly pigmented, change in colour and/or size, have an irregular outline and itch, bleed or crust. If you are unsure or concerned that you may have one or more of these symptoms, visit your GP. He or she will examine your skin and would be able to refer you to a Plastic Surgeon with a specialist interest in skin cancer.
Q: How can we Reduce the Risk of Developing Skin Cancer?
Australia has dramatically decreased rates of skin cancer with the introduction of sun protection programmes such as the 'slip, slop, slap, now wrap' campaign. Sun awareness is vital and really does have an effect. Avoid the hottest part of the day (between 11am and 3pm), apply liberal amounts of sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of 30+ and wear a hat, loose clothes (tightly woven) and sunglasses. The face and neck are the areas most commonly affected by sun damage, so be sure to apply sunscreen to lips, ears, around eyes, neck and scalp if your hair is thinning.
A history of sunburn when young puts people at an increased risk of developing skin cancer later in life. Fifty per cent of total lifetime sunlight exposure occurs in childhood, so be particularly careful with children too; if they are exposed to the sun, dress them in sun-suits or long-sleeves, hats and sunglasses and apply a liberal amount of high SPF sunscreen regularly. Schools are becoming increasingly aware of the darker side of the sun and are introducing stricter rules and regulations in the summer months.
Q: And What about Our Eyes?
Sunnies are an essential fashion (and health) item and it is very good idea to wear sunglasses at all times. A great excuse to be a diva!!! It definitely increases protection and can prevent direct UV damage to the eyes (Peratitis, Cataracts, Pterygium and Macular Degeneration) as well as helping to prevent skin cancer around the eyes (Periocular). Interestingly the incidence of Periocular skin cancer is rising and I am treating more patients with this every year.
Good lenses are also advisable. Pilots especially have recognised the importance of good eye lenses (a new company www.bigatmo.com, owned by a pilot is just launching some fashionable eyewear with top quality lenses).
Q: Why do we have such a Massive Vitamin D Deficiency in the UK? Does This Mean we Need a Certain Amount of Sun? If so, how much?
Around 50% of the adult population in the UK have sub-optimal levels of vitamin D and about 15% have 'severe' deficiency during winter and spring. The average British worker nowadays will work indoors, not out in the field (outdoors) as in previous generations. With modern technology turning our homes into high-tech zones, many adults and children will choose to stay at home watching television or playing on computer games as opposed going out for walks, gardening or playing outdoor sports.
Exposure to the sun is essential for production of vitamin D by the skin (rickets is seen is adults and children who do not have sufficient sun exposure) but it is important, as with all things that you do not have excessive sun exposure. It is fine to have 20 to 30 minutes of exposure to the sun two to three times a week, after which you can put on a hat or sunscreen.

About the book: She may be tough, beautiful, and practically perfect in every way, but saving the world is only easy when you're Wonder Woman. Being a mom, on the other hand? Now, that takes some serious superpowers.
About the author: As a self-proclaimed (and slightly crazed) Wonder Woman Wannabe herself, JENNY LEE SULPIZIO is a Christian wife and mother to three amazing kiddos. After hanging up her star-spangled bloomers (and that restrictive red corset) a few years back, Jenny now spends most of her ''spare'' time dishing out the latest in tips, hints, and practical advice to help guide other mommies through the trenches of motherhood. And when she isn't cooking, cleaning, or attempting to raise her kids right (as in manner-possessing, respectful, God-loving little tikes), Jenny can usually be found writing about it instead. Jenny resides in Boise, Idaho.
I love books that are honest about how un-glamorous motherhood can be! Jenny Lee Sulpizio captures what it means to be a mom, to parent and to live motherhood in a practical, funny and honest way. There are useful tips and information along that way as well! This is a great book for new mothers and for any mother who wants great info in one resource! 4 stars!

Did you know that insects are being used as a protein in dog food and now I find out it is being added to human food products too. Where have I been for the past several years while this movement has been moving forward?
If you want to better understand how long this has been moving forward in not only pet foods but now concentrating on our human food supply; read more at the FoodNavigator-USA.com as it quotes insect farmers in the USA stating that it has been going on for a decade or more.
I was reading the June 2018 edition of the Pet Food Industry newsletter this morning. One of the articles was "Insects in pet food: US regulatory challenges continue" by David A. Dzanis, DVM, Phd, DACVN. Dr. Dzanis states "Efforts are being made on several fronts to provide for use of new insect-based ingredients in animal feeds, including pet foods". Insects are being used as a protein and their are insect farms in the USA to fulfill the FDA's mandate to have pesticide-free insects in our food products with their scientific names on the ingredient labels.
The FDA has responded to many inquiries about what the Federal regulation is on insects for food sources and has quoted the USDA PowerPoint slides that were presented by Dr. Sonny Ramaswamy, the Director of the National Institute of Food and Agriculture (NIFA). The complete PowerPoint presentation can be viewed by clicking HERE.
On slide #8, it clearly states "human and animal nutrition" and slide #9 talks about "Acceptance" which includes behavior, choices, attitudes, education, and chefs as culinary trendsetters on slide #10. In addition slide #10 states condiments, supplements and additives (which another sources stated that has or would be used as a thickener in ice cream, dairy, mixes, etc.
I have never had a problem with insect-based treatments for illnesses through Holistic practitioners but I will never leave my nutritional or food choice to companies to make on my behalf and without my knowledge. That goes for my dogs as well!

Editor's note: This article originally appeared on NOVA Next.
It's been 20 years since NASA launched its Cassini spacecraft into our solar system, with the mysterious gas giant Saturn as its destination.
Billions of miles later, this intrepid piece of machinery has finally grazed the tops of Saturn's clouds.
After plunging into a small 1,500-mile gap between Saturn's innermost ring and the planet itself, Cassini is closer to the planet than ever before. At 11:56 p.m. PDT on April 26, NASA's Deep Space Network Goldstone Complex in California's Mojave Desert received the signal that Cassini survived the descent.
It's the grandest of grand finales. At times, Cassini was speeding up to 77,000 miles per hour relative to Saturn — a speed at which, along the way, an errant particle could have crushed the spacecraft at any moment.
NASA/JPL-Caltech/Space Science Institute
"I am delighted to report that Cassini shot through the gap just as we planned and has come out the other side in excellent shape," said Cassini Project Manager Earl Maize in a statement.

Before NASA engineers diverted Cassini's course, sending it into the rings of Saturn, the spacecraft was engaged in a series of choreographed orbits around Saturn's moon Titan — the mission's main gravity assist and the only object that allowed for such a clean, calculated pivot toward the planet. "The last Titan fly-by is really what gave us the impulse to go into that tiny gap," said Sonia Hernandez, a member of Cassini's navigation team.
Cassini's goals are different now than they were a week ago. Before the "grand finale" — what NASA is calling these last few months of the mission — it was focused on gathering images and data about Saturn's 62 moons, particularly Titan and Enceladus. The latter, which was first studied up-close 11 years ago, spews plumes of salty water at its south pole — a sign of hydrothermal activity that could provide food for microbes if any exist deep in the moon's icy seas. If scientists were to find evidence of life on Enceladus, it's far more likely that it would have arisen independently of life on Earth than with Mars, which is close enough to Earth that life may have jumped the gap.
The manner in which particles and tiny moons accumulate in Saturn's elegant rings, in particular, could tell us a lot. "That's so key to understanding how Saturn formed," said Linda Spilker, Cassini project scientist. Comparing these measurements to what NASA's Juno spacecraft is collecting from Jupiter [also a gas giant] could help scientists put together a better picture of how solar systems form.
The team wants to know about the rings' future, too. "We're slowly losing the rings," said Jim Green, NASA's planetary science division director. "That material is filtering down into the planet. If you've ever eaten Jell-O, and you shake it, it shakes for quite a while before it settles down. Saturn was made 4.5 billion years ago, and it's still shaking. We see that because the rings shift a little bit. So the seismic motion produced by the planet disturbing the rings produces the instability necessary for the rings to slowly fall into the planet."
Saturn's magnetic field is also an enigma; the Cassini team will analyze it from a variety of orientations to understand its source and depth. In addition, they'll study Saturn's dazzling pink aurorae. As particles rain down into the regions where we see aurorae, they emit radio waves, known as Saturn kilometric radiation, or SKR for short. These radio waves and the aurorae are complementary in that they're both affected by the planet's magnetic field.
By scrutinizing magnetic field data, the team hopes to be able to provide more info to scientists searching for and studying exoplanets. "The more we learn about our own solar system and under what conditions that happens, the more we're going to be able to apply it all over the place," Green said.
How is Green feeling after all of the excitement? "Watching it on the other side of all this, the tension and the build-up, it's just an enormous relief," he said. "We're ready now for the next step."
Spilker echoed the sentiment. "Probably the things we haven't heard of will be the most spectacular," she said.

Both CDmon and the Client are interested in the execution of these clauses, and accept the terms and conditions set out in them, as follows:
1.1 The purpose of the terms and conditions contained herein is to regulate the conditions by which the Client may request, through CDmon, one or more new domain names (nGTLD).
1.2 These specific terms and conditions shall be applicable to the Client's relationship with CDmon and supercede any and all prior agreements, whether verbal or written, concerning the subject thereof.
1.3 The terms and conditions of this contract, together with any additional information regarding the service covered by them, are published on the CDmon website www.cdmon.com and constitute a single, binding agreement between the parties.
2.- CHARACTERISTICS OF THE APPLICATION FOR NEW DOMAIN NAMES (nGTLD)
2.1 The service contracted under these terms and conditions includes a commitment on the part of CDmon to accept applications for new domain names (nGTLD) chosen by the Client.
CDmon shall inform the Client of the start dates of the different registration periods corresponding to the extensions of any new domain names (nGTLD) requested by the Client.
2.2 These terms and conditions shall apply only to the initial application for the domain names chosen by the Client. Once CDmon notifies the Client of the start date of the general availability registration period for the requested new domain name (nGTLD), the Client must confirm their application through the procedure set by CDmon, accept the terms and conditions of confirmation of the application and pay the corresponding fee. With this confirmation, CDmon shall send a reservation request to the corresponding Registry as soon as the general availability period of the corresponding extension begins.
2.3 CDmon shall accept only one application per domain, thus the Client cannot request a domain through CDmon if another client has done so previously.
2.4 Domain names with multilingual characters (IDN) cannot be requested.
2.5 In no case shall the request for a new domain name (nGTLD) imply pre-registration of the domain nor guarantee that this domain will be registered to the Client.
2.6 The Client understands and agrees that::
- The initial application for a new domain name (nGTLD) will not have priority over domain registrations that may be made by third parties during the registration periods, or over domains that have been requested or reserved by the Registry.
- The appropriate Registry for the domain extension the Client applies for may decide that the extension will be withheld from the general availability period, or not offered publically.
- In the event of the Client failing to confirm his or her application by way of payment to CDmon of the corresponding fee, before the beginning of the general availability period for the corresponding extension of the domain, the Client's application will be rejected and CDmon will not forward the reservation request to the Registry.
- CDmon in no case guarantees that the domain name for which the Client applies will be registered.
- During the general availability period, the right to register new domain names (nGTLD) falls to the first person to apply for the domain, and applications shall be processed in chronological order of payment.
- CDmon cannot guarantee registration during the general availability period of domains subject to claims regarding registered trademarks. Therefore, the Client expressly waives their right to liability claims (contractual or otherwise), compensation or damages from CDmon for failing to obtain registration of the requested domain name.
2.7 Via the Control Panel, the Client can check domain names for which requests have been submitted, and the status of them.
The initial request for new domain names (nGTLD) is free. Notwithstanding, in the case of CDmon informing the Client of the forthcoming opening of the general availability period for the extension for which an application has been submitted and the Client electing to confirm this application, he / she shall proceed to pay the fee for each extension.
Updated fees are published by CDmon at www.cdmon.com.
4.1 The terms and conditions herein shall enter into force on the day of their formalisation, upon the Client completing the application form requesting one or more new domain names (nGTLD).
4.2 The terms and conditions herein shall be valid until the Client confirms the order of the new domain name (nGTLD) by paying the reservation fee. The corresponding terms and conditions of said confirmation shall be accepted. In the event of the Client failing to confirm the application for new domain name (nGTLD), the initial application made under these terms and conditions will be rejected.
4.3 The current and updated version of these terms and conditions is published (in Spanish) at www.cdmon.com/es/avisos-legales.
5.1 CDmon is not responsible for the effective request of the domain name chosen by the Client at the time of application actually being presented, even though available at the time these terms and conditions come in force. Therefore, the Client expressly waives their right to liability claims (contractual or otherwise), compensation or damages from CDmon or the corresponding Registry in relation to the application for the domain or for failing to register the requested domain name.
5.2 Neither CDmon nor the corresponding Registry shall in any case be responsible for the violation of intellectual property rights or any other legitimate rights and interests arising from the registration of a domain name requested by the Client.
5.3 CDmon is not responsible for that which is exclusively attributable to the Client and/or holder, or that which is attributable to the performance of the relevant Registrar, nor for errors resulting from the registration process.
5.4 Neither CDmon nor the corresponding Registry shall be responsible for direct or indirect damages arising from the Client's failure to comply with the rules governing domain names.
5.5 CDmon and the corresponding Registry reserve the right to suspend or cancel the request made by the Client in the event of the request transpiring to have been made in contravention of any applicable standard or acceptable policy of Internet use, or in the case of the application being made for illegal purposes.
5.6 CDmon and the Registry reserve the right to refuse or cancel any domain name application in the following cases:
- 5.6.1 To comply with applicable laws and legal requirements.
- 5.6.2 For breach of the terms and conditions contained herein.
- 5.6.3 To avoid any civil or criminal liability of CDmon, the Registry or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, affiliates and shareholders.
- 5.6.4 To correct errors made by CDmon or the Registry relating to the domain name.
- 5.6.5 To protect the integrity and stability of CDmon and the corresponding Registry.
5.7 The Client is solely responsible for the choice of the domain name applied for. Prior to submission, the Client must verify that the new domain name (nGTLD) has not been previously applied for through CDmon. The Client should be aware that although no CDmon client has requested the new domain name (nGTLD) as chosen by the Client, that domain may have been requested by a third party through another provider. The search tool at www.cdmon.com indicates only whether the domain name in question has been applied for or not through CDmon. In all cases searches performed using this tool and the results obtained thereby are merely informative. If results indicate the domain name has not been the subject of an application, the Client should nonetheless verify this information as the database could be outdated or the domain name have been requested by a third party in the span of time between the application and the confirmation of it.
5.8 The Client guarantees CDmon that the application for the chosen domain name shall not be made for any unlawful purpose, nor infringes the rights of intellectual or industrial property or any other rights or legitimate interests of others.
5.9 The Client declares and guarantees that all information provided to CDmon is complete and correct. Furthermore, he / she shall immediately inform CDmon of any change in this information.
The Client may not transfer rights and obligations arising from these terms and conditions to third parties without the prior written consent of CDmon, and if obtained, said transfer must be carried out according to the regulations set out by the corresponding Registry.
The service governed by these terms and conditions may be amended by CDmon and / or the appropriate organisation responsible for new domain name (nGTLD) applications.
With regard to this point, CDmon shall be obliged merely to inform clients affected by such changes by posting them on the appropriate CDmon web page.
The Client, having been informed of the modification by CDmon, may reject the new terms and conditions if not in agreement with them.
8.1 In addition to the causes established in law and in those included in the present clauses, these terms and conditions will cease be effective in any of the following cases:
- 8.1.1 Mutual agreement.
- 8.1.2 When the application is not confirmed by the Client and thus expires.
- 8.1.3 Termination for failure by either party to comply with the obligations arising from these terms and conditions for which they are responsible.
- 8.1.4 Upon the Client confirming their application and accepting the conditions of confirmation.
- 8.1.5 Upon the domain name for which the Client applies being either granted or rejected.
8.2 In the case of the Client's breach of contract being due to the rescission of the terms and conditions herein, CDmon reserves the right to terminate this contract without notice and without the Client being entitled to compensation or reimbursement of any kind.
8.3 In the event of termination or rescission of these terms and conditions, due to the aforementioned causes or any others established in law, the Client shall be bound to fulfill all obligations, both to CDmon and to third parties, contained therein.
8.4 In those cases where the termination of these terms and conditions occurs for reasons attributable to them, CDmon shall act in accordance with the provisions for such cases as established by the appropriate registrars and ICANN.
8.5 The Client may, at any time, withdraw the request for a new domain name (nGTLD) via the Control Panel.
The Client agrees to compensate, bring no charges or in no way hold responsible CDmon or the corresponding Registry, or their respective employees, shareholders, officers, directors, agents and representatives, and to defend them from and against any and all liability, claims, loss, damage, injury or expense, including reasonable legal fees and expenses generated or related to the domain name application. This obligation shall survive the termination of these terms and conditions.
Matters not provided for in these terms and conditions, as well as in the interpretation and resolution of conflicts that may arise between the parties as a result of them, shall be resolved in accordance with Spanish law, except in that which affects the application for and registration of domain names, where the regulations of ICANN, the Registrar and the appropriate Registry shall apply.

Three weeks on from my first chemo session and it's time for Round 2. Visiting a hospital is a bit like being on the tube in London – you are surrounded by people who don't talk but you can study them and try to guess what they are doing. Going in to Wycombe Hospital the first impression is "Oh dear, these people look ill". Going in to the CCHU at SMH (sorry Cancer Care and Haematology Unit at Stoke Mandeville Hospital – home of the Paralympics) the impression is a little different – you know that everyone is a cancer patient or their partner or friend, but you have no idea what form of cancer or what their prognosis is. Initially I assumed that every male had prostate cancer but soon got over that misconception.
We arrived a little before 10am giving me time to feed the parking meter and to get a chit from the reception desk so that we could stay over the allotted two hours. Then past the waiting room and down to Room 10. "Hello Tim, you are in Bay 2". This is the same bay as last time so I find a vacant chair and get myself comfortable. There are three recliner chairs down each side of the room each with a drip stand and at the end a kitchenette where tea or coffee can be made, and a toilet. One of the volunteers comes over to offer us a drink (coffee for Liz, water for me) and then the cancer nurse comes over and places a heat pad on my chosen hand. Liz thinks I look a little warm, I say I am merely comfortably warm but my temperature is still checked and found to be an acceptable 36.2 degrees C.
After a while the nurse selects a vein and inserts the cannula – just a slight prick and it is in. A quick check to ensure that it is located properly and that the vein hasn't 'blown' and the cannula is taped to my wrist. I was warned last time that pulling the tape off would probably be the most painful part of the process. Next a bag of saline was run through before the real cytotoxic stuff. It had been prepared yesterday and will be out of date tomorrow. It was placed in its Darth Vader cloak (well a small black cover) because as well as being very short lived, it is light sensitive, a mayfly of the night. It was swapped into play as soon as the saline had run in. Now it was a matter of sitting for an hour or so while the docetaxel entered my system. At one point there is a very slight stinging near the cannula but this may just be the tape pulling on the hairs on my wrist. Actually I didn't need to sit – I could stand up and walk around, even go to the loo, as long as I took my drip pump and stand with me. I could watch as the time remaining reduced, or read the paper or even talk to Liz and to other patients.
I asked the nurse about my blood test results – obviously they were OK otherwise they would have delayed this session. The key was whether my neutrophils had recovered from going a.w.o.l. ten days ago. They should be between 1.7 and 7.5 per one thousandth of a cubic millilitre of blood and the results made encouraging reading. The day before my first chemo session they were 2.8, when I went into A&E they were 0.0, two days later they were 0.4 and by last Tuesday they had recovered to 3.8, better than before chemo started! Also my PSA level, which was measured at the start of the investigations, had dropped from 17 to 1.3. Again a move in the right direction.
After an hour the infusion pump (posh name for drip pump) beeped and a nurse came over and checked the bag. There was a smidgeon of docetaxel left so the bag was squeezed and the pump set for another ten minutes. Eventually the bag was empty and it was swapped for some more saline to flush it all through. The sandwich I had ordered earlier was bought over by one of the volunteers. Then it was time to disconnect me. The bags and tubes were taken down, the tape ripped off (I didn't even wince) and the cannula gently pulled out. A pad was taped over the site and I held it tight for a few minutes then off to the car with my half eaten sandwich and home. This at least allowed me to finish my lunch at home while taking my lunchtime tablets.
Now for the next cycle and this time I will endeavour to behave myself particularly during my immunosuppressed period. I want to avoid impersonating a beetroot and having to go into A&E again in 10 days time.

How we were able to predict (correctly!) that consumer 3D printers would not be disruptive
People often wonder how the predictions I make can be so accurate. Sometimes it takes a great deal of research, but here is an example from this year that was much simpler.
Last fall there were many media stories about consumer 3D printers for under $1,000 — and how this was an important disruption and would lead to "a factory in every home." Competing forward looking think pieces parroted the hype, but we didn't. What gave us that insight?
Really simple stuff. I went online and read reviews and user blogs. Then I asked a couple of friends on social media who had recently bought a home 3D printer. Literally every single source I went to (100%!) told the same story:
The printers were hard to set up, broke down frequently, worked very slowly, took repeated attempts to make even a single decent object…and at the end of the process made small plastic objects that looked like a reject from a Happy Meal. 🙂
Many of the users were glad they had experimented with the technology, and felt they learned some useful skills. But virtually everyone printed for a few weeks or months, and then put the machine in the basement or the garage, where it kept the pasta-maker company.
Yesterday, 3D Systems, one of the two major manufacturers of consumer 3D printers, announced it was exiting that business. The enterprise market is still great (and 3D Systems is a big player in that space), but the factory in every home remains science fiction, at least for now.
Yes, one third of 2015's best-selling books are adult coloring books. No, it doesn't mean what you think it means.
There was great rejoicing by those who love print books when Nielsen released the chart at top. Not only were eBooks not taking over, but print book sales in the US were rising for the second straight year: 571 million sold as of early December 2015, compared to 559 million for all of 2014.
"Don't start celebrating just yet" warned one columnist (the always insightful Mathew Ingram @mathewi): publishers were saying that one of the reasons print book sales were up was the popularity of books by YouTube celebrities and adult colouring books. And it's true: if you look at the Amazon best-selling books of 2015 (updated daily!) or in the screenshot below, you can see that five out of the top 15 are indeed colouring books, with The Martian (my personal favourite geek book of the year) down in #16 place.
Assuming normal seasonality, a lot of print books are going to get sold around Christmas in the US, so that the 2015 print number will likely be 590-600 million, or 30-40 million more than 2014. Just how much of that growth is due to (shudder) colouring books?
Less than you think. The book industry is very much UNLIKE the movie industry. As you can see from the chart below, the percentage of total North American (US and Canada) box office receipts from the top five films has been climbing for years. Over 42% in 2014, the top five contribution will likely be even higher in 2015 due to the record breaking performance of the newest Star Wars installment. In the movie business, it is "all about the blockbuster."
That's not the case for books. As above, there were 559 million print books sold in the US in 2014. The top selling book was The Fault in Our Stars, which sold 3.5 million copies across three versions (hardcover, trade paperback, and movie tie in paperback.) But if I add up the combined sales of the top TEN books (not top five, as in movies) they sold just over 11 million copies. Or about 2% of annual book sales.
The book market has its best-seller list. But the book market is so fragmented that even the most popular books don't really have a significant impact on overall sales.
Yes, adult colouring books were bigger this year than last. And they did make up a portion of the best seller list. But based on the 2014 distribution of sales for best-sellers, I estimate that the five colouring titles that made it into the top 15 would have sold around 4 million copies.
Which is 0.7% of total print book sales for the year, or only about 10-13% of the 30-40 million additional unit sales that we will see in 2015.
I think I will go back to celebrating! Print books are alive and well, and things like colouring books are only a small part of the story.

Fiercely independent and courageously unique Croydon-based duo Frauds have released their brand new video 'Animals' directed David Emanuel Altweger. The single follows their previously
Of the video they tell us; "How many ways can one be fucked? In this video we wanted to get physical by making something that's visually beautiful that pushes us and our audience into real visceral reactions. Exploring the world of Kink was a lot of fun, we really went to some extreme places while putting this together. One of the main lyrics in the song is "running through the wheat fields" which is apparently the naughtiest thing our prime minister has ever done. With that in mind it felt like the right thing to do was something a bit naughty and provocative. It comes from a place of love and we want to entertain people with our art and if that means pouring a whole bottle of full fat coke down our pants then we are willing to do that!"

Safety Features Your Home Needs for Your Family
Being the head of a family requires taking on a lot or responsibility. One of those responsibilities is ensuring that your family has a safe and secure environment to live in. Home security is absolutely paramount. It could, in fact, save the lives of your family one day. It will also give you peace of mind without fear about the possibilities of what could go wrong.
When considering home security, there are many different security features you could implement. With so many choices on the market, it can be hard to decide. With that in mind, below is an overview of some of the best home security features you should give serious consideration.
Smoke Detectors
Security doesn't only entail protecting your family from criminals. It also requires protecting your family and your home from other threats as well. This certainly includes fire. According to the National Fire Protection Association, there are about 355,400 house fires a year in the United States. A fire in your home is a real possibility. Make sure to have smoke detectors placed through your home, and change their batteries on a regular basis.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
While fire can be seen, heard and felt, other threats may go undetected completely without the assistance of technology. This is certainly the case for carbon monoxide. It can't even be smelled or tasted unlike other dangerous gases. It can also be deadly. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it kills approximately 430 people in the United States every year. The only way to detect carbon monoxide is by installing carbon monoxide detectors in your home. You especially need to install them near any bedrooms. Doing so can save your family's lives.
Fortified Doors and Windows
While a surveillance system can alert you of a burglary or home invasion, they may not be able to physically stop criminals from entering your home. To do that, you need to better fortify your doors and windows from intruders. Windows can be made from plastic or reinforced glass that isn't so easy to break. Bars or hatches can be added above window wells to prevent entry. You can strengthen door hinges and install locks that are impossible for criminals to pick. If you want to get really high tech, you can even use a fingerprint or retina scanner to open your door instead of a traditional key.
Wireless Surveillance
Unfortunately, human beings also pose a serious risk to homes and families. Burglaries are all too common sadly. What's shocking, however, is that the family is home during 27.6 percent of burglaries. This can result in murder. One of the only ways to protect from this risk is to install home surveillance. Today, surveillance cameras are more sophisticated than ever before. They send surveillance video feeds directly into the cloud. What this means is you can watch live surveillance of your home in real time from anywhere on your smart phone or other device.
Lighting can also be used to increase the security of your home. This is due to the nature of criminals. Most criminals will go for the path of least resistance. They will target what looks like an empty home. They will also target a home that is dark during the nighttime so they avoid being spotted. Install flood lights that switch on when movement is detected. Also install a smart lighting system. You can program the system so certain lights inside your house turn on at different times during the day. Even when you are on vacation, your home will still appear to be inhabited to crooks.
Sadly, we live in an imperfect world. While we would hope our family members would be safe in their home, this isn't always the case. As a homeowner, it is your responsibility to make sure your home is safe and secure. The items listed above are only a starting point. There is much more you can do to secure your home. Make doing so a priority.

Hip Hop Lyrics Rewritten From A Feminist Perspective, Because That's A Beat We Can All Dance To
In today's cultural climate, there are depictions of empowering women and inspiring messages of gender equality everywhere you turn. Hip hop music is not one of those places. Though women occasionally manage to break the glass ceiling of rap music, female empowerment in hip hop is the exception and not the rule. Even more unfortunately, hip hop music can be so damn catchy. What in the world is a young feminist who loves a sick beat to do? Why, re-write the lyrics to your favorite songs and imagine what feminist hip hop would sound like, of course.
I often play this game when I'm driving in my car where I replace any offensive lyrics about females in rap and R&B songs with new, more respectable and progressive lyrics. So, for example, if you're listening to a song where the singer talks about a stripper, you might replace 'stripper' with 'lawyer' and re-arrange the lyrics to describe the trials and tribulations of the star of song as she embarks on her new legal career.
Though my lyrics might not be Grammy worthy, my process of reimagining hip hop songs makes listening to misogynistic music a little bit more bearable (and, as an added bonus, I now have a way to endlessly amuse myself during long car rides). Here are a few samples of my hilariously bad versions of rap songs that are slightly more palatable to the contemporary feminist.
"No Type" — Rae Sremmurd
Actual Lyrics:
I don't got no type, (nah)Bad b****es is the only thing that I like (woo)You ain't got no life, (nah)Cups with the ice and we do this every night (hey)I ain't check the price (I got it)I make my own money, so I spend it how I like (woo)I'm just living life (hey, hey)And let my momma tell it, I ain't living right, (yup)
Feminist Lyrics:
I don't got no type, (nah)'B****es' is an offensive term that I don't really like, (woo)We've got equal rights (yah)You're very nice and I'd never stereotype (you)You are very wise (yay knowledge)You make your own money; you're independent, which I like, (woo)I'm just living life (hey, hey)And let my momma tell it, son, you treat a lady right (yup)
"Trap Queen" — Fetty Wap
Actual Lyrics:
I'm like "hey, what's up, hello"Seen yo pretty a** soon as you came in that doorI just wanna chill, got a sack for us to rollMarried to the money, introduced her to my stoveShowed her how to whip it, now she remixin' for lowShe my trap queen, let her hit the bandoWe be countin' up, watch how far them bands goWe just set a goal, talkin' matchin' LambosGot 50, 60 grand, 500 grams thoughMan, I swear I love her how she work the damn poleHit the strip club, we be letting bands goEverybody hating, we just call them fans thoughIn love with the money, I ain't never letting go
Feminist Lyrics:
I'm like "hey, what's up, hello"
Seen yo pretty eyes soon as you came in that doorI just wanna chill, got a joke that'll make you roll (on the floor laughing)Married to the personality, introduced her to my trove (of emotions cause I'm in touch with my sensitive side)Told her she is flawless, she inspires me for sho'She my happy queen, let her make decisions and have a say-soWe be countin' up, watch how high our savings goWe just set a goal, talkin' a relationship with equal controlGot 50, 60 grand, investing in some stocks, saving for the future thoughMan, I swear I love her how she has a good soulHit the book club, we be letting our intellect growEverybody hating, we just call them fans thoughIn love with gender equality, I ain't never letting go
"I Don't Mind" — Usher featuring Juicy J
Actual Lyrics:
Shawty, I don't mind
If you dance on a pole, that don't make you a hoShawty, I don't mindWhen you work until three, if you're leaving with meGo make that money, money, moneyYour money, money, moneyCause I know how it is, go and handle your bizAnd get that money, money, moneyYour money, money, moneyYou can take off your clothes, long as you coming homeGirl, I don't mind
Feminist Lyrics:
Shawty, I don't mind
That you make make all that green, that don't emasculate me
Shawty, I don't mind
When you workin 'til three, utilizing your degree
Go make that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
Cause I know how it is, go and handle your biz
And get that money, money, money
Your money, money, money
I respect your career, ain't threatened by strong women so don't fear
Girl, I don't mind
"GDFR" — Flo Rida featuring LooKas and Sage the Gemini
Actual Lyrics:
I know what you came here to seeIf you're a freak, then ya coming home with meAnd I know what you came here to doNow bust it open let me see you get looseIt's going down for real
Feminist Lyrics:
I know what you came here to seeIf we're attracted to each other in a consensual manner, then I politely invite you to come home with me And I know what you came here to doHave some good conversation and not be objectified by men It's going down for real
"Or Nah" — Ty Dolla $ign featuring Wiz Khalifa
Actual Lyrics:
Heard you not the type that you take home to MaIs we f***ing when we leave the club or nah?I ain't spending cash for nothing I wanna see you take it offI'm-a pop this bottle, you gon' give me brain or nah?Heard you from the hood, you rep that thing or nah?Gotta lotta a**, you gon' shake that thing or nah?Heard you smoke blunts you down with paper planes or nah?I feel like I'm Tony, you my boss? I'm thinking nah
Feminist Lyrics:
Heard you not the type that you take home to Ma
Cause Ma still has antiquated notions about gender roles and would have to be eased into understanding your progressive, fluid interpretation of femininityIs we engaging in consensual sex when we leave the club or nah?I am spending cash not because I think you are a sexual object up for purchase but because I have a surplus of it and like being hospitable to new friendsI'm-a pop this bottle, would care for some champagne or nah?Heard you have a great education, you rep that thing or nah?Gotta lotta brains, you gon' dazzle me with your intellectual prowess or nah?Heard you smoke misogynists with your wit, you down to renegotiate how gender is represented in the media or nah?I feel like I'm Tony, you my boss? I'm comfortable with my masculinity so I won't be threatened if you're a strong, confident woman who is sometimes described by less progressive peers as 'bossy'

It's official. The upper ranks of the ACC have become a low/medium-stakes game of Rock-Paper-Scissors.
Scratch that. The upper ranks have become Starrcade '89. Surely, you remember the marquee event of the National Wrestling Association's 1989 calendar. On one half of the card, four top wrestlers battled one another in a round-robin tournament. On the other half, four tag teams did likewise. The events of Dec. 13, 1989, sparked world-changing events we're still reckoning with today. The reunion of the Four Horsemen. The devastating knee injury that prevented Sting from getting his title shot against Ric Flair. The opening of the first McDonald's in Russia.
Twenty years later, it's all happening again. Thanks to a win Saturday over Virginia Tech (Ric Flair/paper), Georgia Tech (Sting/scissors) moves into second place in the conference. Meanwhile, Miami (Lex Luger/rock) takes over first by virtue of its early-season victory over Georgia Tech. Miami's lone blemish is a September loss at Virginia Tech.
Look, I know what you're thinking. Ric Flair didn't beat Lex Luger. They fought to a draw. But we all saw that match. We all know who really won. Think about it.
Enough pro wrestling talk. On to the rankings, where Clemson climbs three rungs and Wake Forest does the opposite.
|Rank (LW)
|1 (2)
|Miami (5-1, 2-1)
Good news, Miami: You're #1. Bad news: even if you win out, you may not make the conference title game. And you probably don't have a shot at the national title game, despite having the best resume of any one-loss team in the country. But enjoy the midseason throne.
Last week: W at Central Florida (27-7)
This week: vs. Clemson
|2 (3)
|Georgia Tech (6-1, 4-1)
Josh Nesbitt was both the best running back (122 rushing yards, 3 TDs) and the worst quarterback (1-7, 14 yards, 1 INT) on the field in the GT-VT showdown. When was the last time a top-five team lost a game where the opposing QB only completed one pass?
Last week: W vs. Virginia Tech (28-23)
This week: at Virginia
|3 (1)
|Virginia Tech (5-2, 3-1)
Pole position in the Coastal Division, any shot at the national title game, possibly a chance at the BCS: The Hokies lost a lot in that game against Georgia Tech. They get a week off to ponder it.
Last week: L at Georgia Tech (28-23)
This week: Idle
|4 (5)
|Boston College (5-2, 3-2)
I said some mean things about Montel Harris a couple of weeks ago. Rather, facts and data said some mean things about him. So, credit where credit's due: he rolled up the eighth-highest single game yardage total in league history and utterly embarrassed N.C. State. Up next for BC: The Other Catholics!
Last week: W vs. N.C. State (52-20)
This week: at Notre Dame
|5 (8)
|Clemson (3-3, 2-2)
For years, Clemson swung wildly between two poles, slaughtering good teams and losing to bad ones in consecutive weeks. Thank God they fired Tommy Bowden and ended THAT cycle!
Last week: W vs. Wake Forest (38-3)
This week: at Miami
|6 (7)
|Virginia (3-3, 2-0)
We rated Virginia too low: the last team without a conference loss rated sixth? That seems unfair. We rated Virginia too high: they lost to William & Mary and have beaten two of the worst teams in the ACC. Maybe UVa will make things a little simpler by beating GT this week. But we doubt it.
Last week: W at Maryland (20-9)
This week: vs. Georgia Tech
|7 (4)
|Wake Forest (4-3, 2-2)
Apparently, our presence on the Wake Forest bandwagon was more than it could bear. The Deacons have a scheduling quirk over the next three weeks. They get two shots at the Paul Johnson offense, facing Navy this week and Georgia Tech on Nov. 7. Good preparation for the GT game, but they unfortunately have to travel to Miami in between.
Last week: L at Clemson (38-3)
This week: at Navy
|8 (6)
|North Carolina (4-2, 0-2)
The Tar Heels dropped two spots despite being idle this past week. Blame Clemson and Wake: the Tigers looked that good, and Wake didn't convince us they're worse than the ACC-winless Heels. Big pillowfight Thursday in Tallahassee.
Last week: Idle
This week: vs. Florida State (Thursday)
|9 (9)
|Duke (3-3, 1-1)
Duke has a chance to put together its first ACC winning streak since…good Lord, since 1994. That was also the last time the Blue Devils made a bowl game. A win over Maryland this week would get them a step closer to updating that entry in the media guide, too.
Last week: Idle
This week: vs. Maryland
|Florida State (2-4, 0-3)
The Seminoles had their best weekend in a month, moving up two slots without doing anything. Counterintuitive take on FSU: maybe they're not that bad. Going into last weekend, Brian Fremeau still had them rated 26th in the nation. Just throwing it out there.
Last week: Idle
This week: at North Carolina (Thursday)
|11 (10)
|N.C. State (3-4, 0-3)
Our beloved Wolfpack avoids the cellar by the thinnest of margins. This thin. The less said about this team, the better.
Last week: L at Boston College (52-20)
This week: Idle
|Maryland (2-5, 1-2)
I'm going to find something nice to say. That Torrey Smith is a very good wide receiver. Second in the conference in receiving yards, first in kick return yards, and he's scored touchdowns in three different ways.
Last week: L vs. Virginia (20-9)
This week: at Duke
