In both sports and the tech industry, you win some and you lose some. Even though OnSports chief executive Aaron Krane got a nasty black eye this week in a pick-up basketball game, his company just closed a $2 million round led by Mike Maples' Floodgate fund. The company, also known as Hitpost, makes this mobile app OnSports which has live discussions, polls and news about sports. It's aiming to be the destination where sports fans can chatter or rage about their most-loved or hated teams and players.?The app has more than 1 million downloads on Google Play and something less than that on iOS. While Krane didn't share stats on active usage, he did say that there are "tens of thousands" of discussions and votes per day. Krane, who used to work at the social gaming company that Google acquired called Slide, says there is an unexploited sweet spot in between freemium games like Zynga Poker and sports media. OnSports recently launched a better way for fans to create polls and stories about sports.frank gore injury makana makana gloria cain gloria cain kandi burruss occupy portland

The Pittsburgh pair refuse to look at each other in their first joint interview.

Call them hip-hop's odd couple. Though they both hail from Pittsburgh and are signed to local indie label Rostrum Records, Wiz Khalifa and Mac Miller absolutely hate each other — well, not really. On Wednesday's "RapFix Live," the 'Burgh's finest appeared together for their first joint interview.
Rather than play things straight, the pair decided to have a little fun on set.
"Why is he here?" Wiz asked, throwing his hands in the air after host Sway Calloway brought Mac onto the "RapFix Live" set.
"I'm getting hated on on this couch, man; can I get my own couch?" Mac responded.
Sway tried to play peacemaker, but Wiz and Mac weren't having it. The two were cordial enough to sit down on the red couch together, but refused to face each other.
"I haven't seen you in a while man, you looking good," Khalifa said, looking away from Miller trying to break the playful tension. "Thanks, wish I can say the same for you, man," Mac responded, trying his best to hold in his laughter.
A beef between Pittsburgh's two biggest rap stars would be quite problematic, considering that the duo are planning to hit the road together this summer on the Under the Influence of Music tour. Khalifa and Miller will be joined by Taylor Gang's Chevy Woods as well as TDE's Kendrick Lamar and Schoolboy Q on the nine-show run.
Though they remain good friends, Wiz and Mac have built their own careers separate from each other. There are only a few low-key collaborations between the pair, but they plan to record together again soon. "Me and Mac are gonna collaborate together because that's what I want to do, it doesn't matter what he wants to do. What I say goes," Wiz said in character. "We're gonna do a song, because we've had a plan this whole time," Mac revealed.
"Actually I need Mac. I'm trying to use his success to boost my album because it's about to come out," Khalifa joked.

A suspected pirate vessel is searched by a boarding team from a U.K. naval vessel 350 nautical miles from the Somali coast in November.
By Ian Johnston, msnbc.com
The number of pirate attacks in West African waters is increasing alarmingly, according to a new report.
The International Maritime Bureau?s global piracy report said there were 102 incidents worldwide in the first three months of 2012; four people were killed, 212 crew members were taken hostage and 11 vessels were hijacked.
A further 45 vessels were boarded, there were 32 attempted attacks and 14 vessels were fired on.
A statement emailed to journalists from the International Chamber of Commerce ? the International Maritime Bureau is part of its anti-crime arm ? said there had been a dangerous rise in the number of attacks off Nigeria and other West African countries.
?Nigerian piracy is increasing in incidence and extending in range,? Pottengal Mukundan, director of the IMB Piracy Reporting Center, said in the statement.
?At least six of the 11 reported incidents in Nigeria occurred at distances greater than 70 nautical miles from the coast, which suggests that fishing vessels are being used as motherships to attack shipping further afield,? he added.
High levels of violence
The statement said there had been 10 reports of piracy from Nigeria in the first quarter of the year, the same as reported for the whole of 2011. A further attack in neighboring Benin was also attributed to Nigerian pirates.
It said two crew members were killed when their vessel was boarded 110 nautical miles off Nigeria.
However, Somalia continued to see the most incidents, with 43 attacks resulting in nine vessels being hijacked. This was down from the first quarter of 2011, when 97 incidents and 16 hijackings were reported.

?While the number of reported incidents in Nigeria is still less than Somalia, and hijacked vessels are under control of the pirates for days rather than months, the level of violence against crew is dangerously high,? Mukundan said.
The International Chamber of Commerce runs a global map of piracy attacks that is updated live.

What do you bring to mind when you bring to mind clinical processs? We all know we automatically bring to mind docs through now despite the fact that you?re most likely well aware that there are many extra processs within the clinical box some of the ones come with specialized clinic processs or processs at your local private physicians place of business. One of the most challenging things while identifying we need to pursue clinical processs is identifying which area of interest we need to discover further. This takes a few analysis and self-review for your part to mention the least. sooner than you?ll start assessing which processs within the clinical box suit you very best you want to have a few history on what the ones processs entail. The aim of this newsletter is to provide you with a few history at the different processs that would potentially be available to you.
Have you ever heard of a clinical assistant previously? Medical assistant processs are clinical processs that contain doing regimen administrative paintings for both physicians and nurses. along side elementary bureaucracy tasks they?re also qualified to do different elementary clinical similar tasks as well. For instance, they may be able to administer blood check and urine checks. have you ever ever gotten a urine check for a role previously. Odds are it was a professional clinical assistant who if truth be told administered that check for you. This process involves the most direct contact and verbal exchange with the patients as well.
If you do not like running with other folks on a daily basis then this process is by no means for you. As we have made connection with earlier than this process does require a certification so that you can practice so you?ll have to take a few schooling and move an examination to be one.
One of the most popular clinic processs these days is within the box of nursing. This box is booming presently so we are seeing a large number of people who find themselves interested in changing into nurses presently. The term nurse is set as broad as it processs in clinical box can get. There are lots of different types of nurses and specializations involved within the box the most typical form of nurse that we realize of is referred to as a RN or registered nurse. Becoming a registered nurse takes a fouryr level from a faculty or school that has a nursing program There are different ranges of nursing that require extra and not more schooling, however the registered nurse is the most common form of process.
Are you the kind of person who likes running machines? If this is the case, then there are processs within the clinical box for you as well. There are methods out there as an example so that you can get ready you for clinical processs similar to x-ray techs and ultrasound techs. Their process name kind of says all of it if you physician requires that you simply get a few kind of x-ray or ultrasound then they will be the professional that coordinates that for you. There?s a few training and schooling involved, but not anything that may be too complicated the largest problem is getting on top of things at the new machines so that you can most likely make their way into your box as the yrs move alongside.

UT Southwestern Medical Center
DALLAS April 24, 2012 UT Southwestern Medical Center has performed more than 300 lung transplants in recent decades, and Michael Young represents a remarkable success story.
Mr. Young, 59, of Grand Prairie, whose lungs were ravaged by pulmonary fibrosis, underwent a lung transplant in 1993. Nineteen years later, he is the longest living survivor of UT Southwestern's Lung Transplant Program.
Before his transplant, Mr. Young's lung function was so diminished that he spent his days on oxygen confined to his La-Z-Boy. At night, he was forced to sleep sitting up in order to breathe.
"After my operation, I walked out of the intensive care unit to my patient room and realized I had the capacity to breathe again," Mr. Young said. "It was the most joyous moment of my life."
The Scientific Registry of Transplant Recipients ranks UT Southwestern among the highest in survival rates for one year and three years after surgery. The medical center, which began its lung transplantation program in 1990, has an 86 percent survival rate one year after surgery and a 75 percent survival rate three years after surgery compared to national averages that are 84 percent and 67 percent, respectively.
"As an academic medical center we bring our advanced research to the bedside, benefiting patients who come to our institution with few remaining alternatives," said Dr. Fernando Torres, associate professor of internal medicine and medical director of the Lung Transplant Program. "Our multidisciplinary team approach creates a close relationship with patients, providing both compassionate and cutting-edge care to an increasing number of transplant patients."
UT Southwestern's treatment of difficult and deadly lung diseases goes above and beyond transplantation surgeries. Recent research undertaken by Dr. Christine Kim Garcia, associate professor of internal medicine and a member of the Eugene McDermott Center for Human Growth & Development, delves into the inherited genetic factors that contribute to the development of pulmonary fibrosis. Her laboratory discovered mutations in the genes encoding telomerase and surfactant protein A2 in patients with pulmonary fibrosis, the same condition that put Young on the transplant list 20 years ago.
Mr. Young's lung transplant, which took place at St. Paul University Hospital, was only the fourth such operation undertaken by the medical center.
Today, he relishes the time he spends with his 12-year-old granddaughter Kayla, born seven years after his transplant. Simple pleasures like picking up Kayla from school and weekend family barbecues, once unimaginable, now are commonplace.
"If it weren't for the operation, I would not have had the joy of helping raise her," he said. "We are so close and I praise the physicians and staff at UT Southwestern for saving my life."
Before Steven Songer, 17, became the 301st lung recipient at UT Southwestern around Thanksgiving 2011, doctors gave the Denison resident mere months to live. His case of congenital cystic fibrosis had deteriorated his lung function to a meager 19 percent, and he suffered a collapsed lung just hours before undergoing life-saving bilateral lung transplantation.
Two days later, Mr. Songer was walking the hospital hallways without an oxygen tank, communicating with his friends on Facebook, and working hard to recover in time to attend his high school graduation.
"My feet have not touched the ground since his operation," said his aunt, Suzanne Moody. "There are not enough words in my vocabulary to express the gratitude I feel toward UT Southwestern. The care and attention we received were perfect it was exactly what we needed and it was beyond superb."
Mr. Songer's transplant occurred just days before National Donate Life Month in April, which calls attention to the critical shortage of organs, tissues, and eyes available for donation. According to Donate Life Texas, the state's official donor registry, there are more than 7,000 Texas-based patients currently awaiting transplantation.
"Every April, I would volunteer at a Donate Life table in the lobby of UT Southwestern, encouraging people to become donors," Mr. Young said. "I am so appreciative of the organ gift I was given. I recommend everyone donates. The Lord doesn't need them. The worms don't need them. When you are already gone, you don't need them anymore. It is a gift of life."
