The Middle East Studies Center announces recipients of three scholarships for Middle East language and area studies. Congratulations to the following students!
The Patricia & Gary Leiser Scholarship for Middle East Languages supports the study of Middle Eastern languages. Applicants must demonstrate a serious interest in the Middle East by taking courses related to the region, although not necessarily a Middle East studies degree program.
2012 recipients: Kismet Kilbourn (Turkish), Karen Lickteig (Arabic), Jena Mathews (Arabic), Stella Williams (Persian)
The Elizabeth Ducey Scholarship for Middle East Languages is open to students intending to pursue a Middle East studies degree program. Students must be enrolled in and making satisfactory progress in a Middle Eastern language.
2012 recipients: Karen Lickteig (Arabic), Seth Thomas (Arabic), Stella Williams (Persian)
The John Damis Scholarship for Middle East Studies supports undergraduate or graduate International Studies and Political Science majors with Middle East focus.
2012 recipients: David Duke, Touraj Houshmand-Shafii, Karen Lickteig, Jena Mathews, Seth Thomas
As a second year MA student in the Department of Political Science, David Duke's interest in the Middle East has led him to Tunisia and Jordan over the last two summers. Both a Foreign Language and Area Studies fellowship and a Critical Language Scholarship have supported his study of Arabic and research on civil society development in the North African Maghreb. When not travelling and studying, you might find David scuba diving the Oregon coast, riding his motorcycle, or lurking around Powell's bookstore.
Karen Lickteig is currently studying International Studies with a focus on the Middle East, with minors in Arabic language and Business Administration. She is particularly interested in issues surrounding Middle Eastern urban development, sustainability, citizen journalism and cross-cultural communication. She also currently serves as the Office Coordinator for PSU's Middle East Studies Center. Karen grew up in Wichita, Kansas, and before transferring to PSU last fall, she attended Lewis & Clark College and studied as a William Jefferson Clinton scholar at the American University in Dubai. Karen has traveled to the UAE, Oman, Bahrain, Jordan, and recently took a trip to Qatar on a PSU short-term faculty-led program. She has been awarded the Critical Language Scholarship by the U.S. State Department and will be studying Advanced Arabic in Amman, Jordan this summer.
Initially an EE major, Touraj Houshmand-Shafii found greater passion in pursuing an academic path that he feels is essential in today's larger global context. His fields of study at PSU include an International Studies – Middle East major, with minors in Persian, International Studies – Africa, and Black Studies. Receiving FLAS fellowships for summer intensive language study continues to bring him closer to achieving fluency in Persian through participation at the Arabic, Persian, Turkish Language Immersion Institute at the University of Wisconsin – Madison. Touraj completed the intermediate program in 2011 and will be returning for the advanced program this summer. Other awards, including the Damis, Ducey, and Leiser Scholarships for Middle East Studies/Middle East Languages as well as the Persia House Scholarship for study of Persian, have been instrumental in furthering Touraj's passion for languages, which includes his past study of French and Spanish, as well as upcoming study of Turkish beginning in fall 2012. His future plans include studying abroad, additional language acquisition and graduate/doctoral programs in the areas of international relations/affairs, conflict and terrorism studies, and peace operations/studies. He believes this track will offer the greatest possibility of working in a field that enables him to interact with and help people in a more direct and profound way. His other interests on campus include involvement with the Arab Persian Student Organization, assisting others in their academic pursuits through employ with PSU's Disability Resource Center, and induction into the Honor Society of Phi Kappa Phi this term. Outside of academics, Touraj enjoys spending time with friends and loved ones, music, soccer, and chess.
Kismet Kilbourn is a freshman at Portland State University studying Finance. She plans to graduate with a Bachelor of Arts in Finance. She has been taking Turkish from Portland State since Fall of 2011 and will continue to take it for as long as it is available. Her eventual goal is to go on to get her MBA and work with international businesses, specifically in Turkey, to create a world network of innovation.
Jena Mathews is a senior at Portland State University studying International Studies with a focus on the Middle East and a minor in the Arabic language. She chose to learn Arabic so that she can, in the future, work with women's rights groups who promote women into positions of power and decision making in Middle Eastern societies. There is an opportunity for positive and powerful change in the Middle East right now and it is very important that women are involved in this process. She plans to participate in an intensive language program this summer in the Middle East to really solidify her language skills and hopefully make contacts with women's rights organizations. Jena sees graduate school in her future, but for the time being, she is very excited to take what she has learned at PSU into the real world.
Seth Thomas is a sophomore at Portland State University, where he is studying the Middle East and Arabic. His interest in the region was piqued when his parents took a call as pastors at the Lutheran Church of the Redeemer in the Old City and moved him and his two older brothers to East Jerusalem from 1998 to 2002. He is very much looking forward to returning to Jerusalem this summer to study Arabic intensively before studying at the Arabic Language Institute in Cairo for the fall semester.
Stella Williams is a junior at PSU majoring in International Studies with a focus on the Middle East. She is currently studying the Persian language. She is a transfer student from Washington State who began attending PSU this past fall. Her study of the Middle East began in Washington at Bellevue College, and she discovered International Studies at PSU. She enjoys cooking Iranian food, reading, attending cultural events, and speaking Persian with her friends.

On the eve of the first Magnificent Mile Lights Festival in November of 1992, Rick Kogan wrote an article for the Chicago Tribune on the plans for the event and quoted Eli's Marc Schulman, the Founding Chairman of the first Lights Festival for the Greater North Michigan Avenue Association that "we think this will mark the new coming-of-age of Michigan Avenue, our hope is that the lighting of the trees will become a holiday highlight."
That dream was realized many time over the event celebrated in 20th Anniversary on Saturday. Our congratulations to the volunteers, staff, sponsors and partners who work together throughout the year to plan such an outstanding event.

It's getting to be that Michael Phelps has as many magazine covers as medals.
The latest? He's the cover model for Golf Digest's December issue.
Last month the magazine wrote about Phelps sinking an incredible, 159-foot putt at the Dunhill Links in Scotland.
The magazine estimated it might have been the longest putt ever televised.
So he might just have earned that spot on the cover.
Phelps has been getting some attention for his swing as he studies with Hank Haney, an effort that will be televised on The Golf Channel's "The Haney Project" in February.

I realise its a foolish question when the obvious answer is coffee.
I want to say I respect those of you who choose to drink tea, but I can't. Unless it's the post apocalypse and you weren't adequately prepared. You are searching the rubble and in that last ration box before you go into terminal caffeine shutdown you just have to drink tea. In which case shame on you.
Unless its one of those fruity caffeine free herbal teas in the box. There is just no reason to drink those, ever! even in the post apocalyptic wasteland or Earl Grey – Captain Picard be damned.
|Why? for when Earl Grey tea is too much for you?
While there is much waffle written about the way tea is prepared, waxing rhapsodic about its origins, history blah, blah.
"the budda discovered tea when he found it picked him up after spending the day mediating…."
what a powerhouse of a drink, being able to revive someone after a hard days thinking. Given the simplicity of the the process it is easy to see why tea was invented early in our history. Its so easy hippies can do it.
Lets consider the process of making tea.
|its not like boiling it in the old days
- Grow plant,
- Dry leaves,
- Dump in hot water.
- Drink.
Over the years tea swillers have tried to make the process more interesting. Bizarre rituals – see the milk in first controversy, pickling it, having to wear uncomfortable pants while you make it such as in Japanese Tea Ceremony and I don't want to know what goes into those black malteser sized tapioca pearls in bubble tea drinks. shudder. Attempts to add some engineering goodness to the process of tea have at best resulted in Samovars which are just about making hot water. The 3000 year old version of one of these.
|Praise the earth for it has given us TEA.
But trying to dress it up as much as you can its still dried leaves in boiling water. This is why when I think of tea all I can picture is Hippies.
I'm not saying if you drink tea you are a hippy, it's just that's the image that is called to my mind whenever someone offers me a cup of tea. Plus the smell.
COFFEE on the other hand, calls to mind images of industry, steam engineering and madness.
Such as the great Victorian engineer Isambard Kingdom Brunel calling for coffee as he carries a temporarily overwhelmed Ada Lovelace through the vice and verse ridden poet's corner of London. For more of the thrilling adventures of Lovelace and Babbage go here.
|A big shout out to Melina Sydney Padua the author of the above panel
|Either that or Walter White's work bench
The pinnacle of beverages, the ULTIMATE coffee will result in such experiences as described below from the comic Girl Genius, click here for the full tale
|Isn't this always what you hoped the first time you tasted coffee?
So in summary when I think of tea, I see hippies. When I ask for coffee I want it to be prepared using this
so what's your beverage of choice? and why isn't it coffee?

You're a sad, angry little man, aren't you. No. Wait. Big man. BIIIIG, goddam, coffee-drinking angry man.
It's tea for me. To the end of time. And you know what? Nobody has EVER made a cup of tea from leaves that some stupid animal has already eaten, and then shat.
Unlike you coffee drinkers, of course. Mmm. Civet-cat-shit coffee. Goooood!
Late to comment…we had some weasel shit coffe here that my wife had brought back from Vietnam…we gave it to the bloke we bought our coffee from. Who the hell searches through cat shitmto find coffee beans for his morning brew anyway?
I am firmly in the coffe camp by the way. After decent coffee tea just seems to lack flavour and body…and is seemingly watery and insipid by comparison.
Instant coffee is the work of the devil.

International Groups Call for Closure of Drug Detention Centres
Several UN agencies and other groups have recently issued statements opposing drug detention centres and calling for their closure. In response to a letter from Human Rights Watch, UNAIDS head Michel Sidibe called for the "earliest possible closure of detention centres." The World Health Organization also sent its own letter reiterating the UNAIDS stance. Sidibe again voiced this position during a recorded speech at the International Harm Reduction Conference in Liverpool, and UNDP's Mandeep Dhaliwal made a clear call for closure during her closing plenary. The International Network of People Who Use Drugs (INPUD) and the Global Network of People Living with HIV (GNP+) also issued a statement opposing the centers.

An explosive eighth inning gives the Phils a come from behind win as they defeat the Cards, 10-2.
The Phils explode for nine runs in the eighth inning as the Cards' bullpen implode as they come from behind to defeat the Redbirds, 10-2.
The game started as a pitchers' duel between Cardinals' starter Kyle McClellan, who pitched five innings keeping the Phils off-balanced, as he gave up two singles and three walks, while striking out two, and Roy Halladay, who for four innings kept the Cards off the scoreboard as he gave up a hit and two walks, while striking out four. The Cards took the lead in the fifth as, with the bases loaded, via singles to Yadier Molina, Daniel Descalsco, with Molina stopping at second base, and Skip Schumaker, with the runners stopping at third and second base, and with one man out, Ryan Theriot hits into an RBI force out, 5-4, forcing out Schumaker at second base, as Molina scored, as Placido Polanco was slow getting the ball out of his glove, giving the Cards a 1-0 lead, while Descalsco would move up to second base, as Theriot would beat the throw to first. The Phils would tie the game up at one-all in the seventh as, with two men on, and with two men out, pinch hitter Ross Gload hits an RBI single, knocking in Raul Ibanez, who had earlier walked, then went to second base on Carlos Ruiz's single, crossing the plate before Ruiz, who had earlier singled, was tagged out between second and third by third baseman Descalsco, who had just cut off Matt Holliday's throw to the plate, for the inning's final out. The Cards retook the lead in their half of the seventh as, with runners on the corners, and with one man out, Schumaker hits a sacrifice fly, scoring Descalsco, who had earlier walked, then went to third on pinch hitter Mark Hamilton's single. The Phils would then break the game open in the eighth, helped by the implosion of the Cards' bullpen. After Jimmy Rollins started the inning off by lining out to left, Shane Victorino got on base with a single to right. Chase Utley followed by taking a walk, moving Victorino up to second base. Cardinals' manager Tony LaRussa then came to the mound and relieved Trever Miller with Jason Motte to face Ryan Howard. On an 0-1 pitch, Motte hit Howard, loading up the bases as both runners moved up a base. Then with Polanco batting, Motte hit him on a 3-2 count, forcing in Victorino, tying the score up at two-all, while moving up both Utley and Howard, as the bases remained loaded. After Wilson Valdez comes in to pinch run for Polanco, as he is taken out of the ballgame to see if he was okay, as the ball had hit him on his left elbow, LaRussa replaces Motte with Brian Tallet, who proceeded to strikeout Ibanez swinging for the inning's second out, leaving the bases loaded. The next batter was to be Dom Brown, but Phils' manager Charlie Manuel sent out pinch hitter Ben Francisco to face Tallet. Francisco then gave the Phils a 3-2 lead with an RBI single, knocking in Utley, while moving up both Howard and Valdez, leaving the bases still loaded. LaRussa then replaced Tallet with Miguel Batista, who proceeded to walk Ruiz on five pitches, forcing in Howard as the Phils took a 4-2 lead, while both Valdez and Francisco moved up a base, the bases remaining loaded. Michael Martinez is then sent up to pinch hit for Michael Stutes, and proceeded to take a walk, forcing in a run, as Valdez scores, giving the Phils a 5-2 lead, while sending Francisco up to third base, and Ruiz over to second, as the Phils batted around. Rollins, batting for the second time in the inning, followed with a two-run single, scoring both Francisco and Ruiz, giving the Phils a 7-2 lead, while sending Martinez to second base. LaRussa then replaced Bastista with Maikal Cieto, hoping to final end this disastrous inning for the Redbirds. Cieto proceed to walk Victorino, the eleventh batter of the inning, reloading the bases as both Martinez and Rollins moved up a base. Utley, the twelfth Phils to bat in the inning, followed with a two-run single, knocking in both Matinez and Rollins, making it a 9-2 Phils' lead, while sending Victorino to second base. Howard, the inning's thirteenth batter, then made it a 10-2 Phils' lead with an RBI single, knocking in Victorino, while sending Utley on to third. Cieto then finally ended the inning by getting Valdez, who was batting for the first time in the game, to fly out to right. That would end up being the final score as Antonio Bastardo and David Herndon threw a pair of scoreless innings against the Cards.
Roy Halladay received a no-decision as he pitched six innings, giving up a run on four hits and two walks, while striking out five. Michael Stutes (2-0, 2.38) got the win as he pitched an inning, giving up a run on a hit and a walk, while striking out one. Antonio Bastardo and David Herndon combined for two scoreless innings, giving up a walk (Bastardo), while striking out three (Bastardo (1), Herndon (2)) between them. Kyle McClellan also received a no-decision as he went seven innings, giving up a run on five hits and four walks, while he struck out two. Trever Miller (0-1, 3.86) took the lost, after receiving his four hold of the season, as he pitched a third of an inning, giving up two runs on a hit and a walk. Jason Motte blew his second save of the year as he pitched to two batters, hitting both of them. Brian Tallet pitched a third of an inning, giving up a run on a hit, as he struck out one. Miguel Batista pitched to three batters, as he gave up three runs on a hit and two walks, getting none of the three batters he faced out. Maikal Cieto pitched an inning and a third, giving up a run on three hits and two walks, while striking out one. The Cardinals' bullpen blew up in the eighth inning, allowing fourteen men to come to the plate, giving up nine runs on six hits, three walks, and two hit batters.
The Phils had eleven hits in the game, with Carlos Ruiz leading the team with four hits, all singles, knocking in a run, as he lifted his average to .256. Chase Utley followed with two hits, bith singles, as he knocked in two runs, Jimmy Rollins (Single, 2 RBIs), Shane Victorino (Single), Ryan Howard (Single, RBI), pinch hitter Ross Gload (Single, RBI) and pinch hitter Ben Francisco (Single, RBI), had the other five Phils' hits. Placido Polanco (Hit by the Pitch) and Michael Martinez (Walk), had the other two Phils' RBI, as the offense took advantage of the Cards' bullpen's meltdown in the eighth.
The Phils (46-28, 1st East) continue their series with the Cards (40-34, 2nd Central) with a night game tonight at Busch Stadium (III). The game will start at 8:15 pm EDT (7:15 pm CDT). The Phils will send to the mound Cliff Lee (7-5, 3.12), who is coming off a complete game win against the Marlins on June 16, as he gave up just two hits and two walks, while striking out four, in the Phils' 3-0 win. He will be going for his fourth straight win, while trying to give the Phils their first series win in their last four tries on the road. The Cards will counter with Kyle Lohse (7-3, 2.88), who is coming off a no-decision against the Nationals on June 16, as he pitched six innings, giving up four runs on seven hits and a walk, as he struck out three, in the Cards' 7-4 lost. He will be trying to even up the series for the Redbirds. The Phils will be trying to give Lee some runs support to give him his eighth win of the season.

Conservation and Environment in Mexico: Monthly Updates
Monthly Updates from 2007
We finished our Olive Ridley season with impressive numbers, (2,192 nests collected). A good effort and many sleepless nights brought up great results, as these numbers do not reflect the amount of turtles that came out to lay their eggs on our beach, but our capacity to collect them. It has been a great effort from our staff and our volunteers, and has placed us among the most prolific beaches regarding Olive Ridley conservation in Mexico.
As if she was trying to save us from the effort of patrolling the beach, a Black Turtle came out to lay her eggs right outside our incubation area! With more than a meter in length this gracious creature laid over 70 eggs and we had the chance to view the whole process since the nest was not more than a meter away from the corral (incubation area).
The turtle season is reaching its peak at the moment, we have had some really rough nights with 50 or 60 nests daily, apparently the storm season is really helping out the turtles to come out and lay their nests, in any case, this means a lot more work for us!
We have had a lot of recent turtle activity here as a result of the high season, including the nightly escapades of hatchlings to the building instead of the sea. In one night 100 nests were collected. These nests are set to hatch by the end of this month or the beginning of the next, so we will have our hands full with baby turtles!
The peak of the high season is here and the volunteers are having great fun experiencing it! Throughout the month the number of nests collected per night has been increasing and on average we are finding 20 nests a night. Recently, however, we have had the perfect weather for turtles, which is strong southerly winds, and have collected a record for this season of 96 nests in one night.
July has been our busiest month so far this year with 21 volunteers helping our conservation efforts. As a result of their keen efforts we have discovered new species of birds for our species list at the lagoon including a wood stork Mycteria americana and a white throated swift (Aeronautes saxatalis).
With good results in the past two seasons, the Projects Abroad team along with CONANP (National Commission for Protected Natural Areas) are uniting our efforts to together raise significantly the results expected for this season. From 1,947 re-buried nests last year we hope this year to reach 2,500 nests!
We have recently had the joyous occasion to release the Leather Back turtle hatchlings as a successful result from the nests last month. These hatchlings were treated with great fascination by the volunteers as they are much larger and stronger than the Olive Ridleys that are also hatching daily.
The end of the Leather Back Turtle season gives us the opportunity to wait eagerly to see their offspring hatch out in our corral. This year we found 24 Leather Back Turtle nests, which surpassed our expectations, as this species has a two year cycle lay period and last year we were amazed to collect 63 nests!
New Crocodile Project forms part of Tecoman Conservation Work. Whilst all the new activities are running well this year in our conservation program, we are particularly excited about the successful start of our Crocodile Project at the Crocodile Farm "La Colorada".
Mexico Tecoman turtle camp: Our Conservation Project begins the New Year with many exciting challenges for our volunteers to face. With the arrival of the very rare Leather Back Turtles and new interesting programs that will expand our activities to a larger area, we can only expect more exciting times to come in the near future.

Accuse You of Conspiring to Commit Treason
Kang Yi was immediately surprised, as she turned to look at Feng Jin Yuan, "What did you say?"
Feng Jin Yuan repeated himself "It's ok. It was A-Heng that took action today. Fortunately, his Highness Prince Yu was not present, otherwise, how could Ru Jia still be alive!"
Feng Jin Yuan was not the only one to consider this a blessing. Even Fen Dai had a pale face, as she said: "If that demon was here, today's celebration would have become a funeral."
The matriarch had also come over. Seeing this scene, she sighed and stomped her feet in anger.
Seeing the matriarch come over, Kang Yi thought that she had found some support. Hugging the matriarch's thigh, she cried: "Mother, Ru Jia is so pitiful!"
She originally hoped that the matriarch would show some sympathy, but how could the matriarch show any sympathy to the mother and daughter. At this time, she hated that she could not strangle Kang Yi to death. "Evil! So evil!" She said this while pointing at Ru Jia and asking Kang Yi: "Do you know what sort of disaster your daughter is inviting to my Feng manor? Do you know what sort of consequences come with insulting his Highness the ninth prince of Da Shun?"
Fen Dai subconsciously felt her own arm, as she still remembered how Xuan Tian Ming had whipped it. She also remembered how Xuan Tian Ming had allowed her to fall into a lake in Tong Sheng pavilion. The feeling of drowning in that lake was something she could not forget.
She muttered as though she were talking to herself, but it was also as though she were reminding Kang Yi: "In Da Shun, insulting the ninth prince has much more terrifying consequences than insulting the Emperor."
In an instant, Kang Yi's body froze over. It was as though she had suddenly remembered something. At this time, Feng Jin Yuan stepped forward and placed his hands on her shoulders. With a very helpless and slightly fearful voice, he said to her: "Think about it carefully. Is his Highness the ninth prince someone that can be offended so casually?"
Earlier, Kang Yi had been dazed by Feng Yu Heng's attack, and she had completely forgotten to think. Now that she had been reminded by everyone, she recalled the secret report that she had received on the ninth prince prior to coming to Da Shun.
The secret report said that this person was the child of the Emperor's most beloved imperial concubine Yun. Ever since a young age, he was favored by the Emperor. He was brave and battle-wise, but he had absolutely no regard for human feelings. His temper was unstable, and he was willful. There was absolutely no way of reasoning with him, and he would do whatever he wanted to do. In fact, he dared to thrash a whip around in front of the Emperor and kill a favored imperial concubine, yet the Emperor actually did not blame him for it.
She also remembered something from the first day of the year. Although she had not personally seen it, she had heard that while the Empress was speaking, the ninth prince had, for some reason, broke the table in front of the third prince. The third prince immediately became furious, but the Emperor and the Empress spoke up for the ninth prince. In the end, the third prince was called unreasonable by the Empress. After that, someone said that the ninth prince acting out was to help relieve county princess Ji An's frustration because the third prince had argued with her before the banquet.
Today, Ru Jia had insulted that sort of person, and she had done it in front of Feng Yu Heng. No wonder, no wonder Feng Jin Yuan said it was fortunate. If that ninth prince was present today…
Kang Yi truly did not dare continue to think along that path. On this cold day, she was actually covered in a cold sweat.
"It's a day of great celebration, so what are you doing?" The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, suddenly raised his voice, "Prime minister Feng, why have you not had someone bring princess Ru Jia back to her courtyard. Then have someone invite an imperial physician. The Feng manor is hosting a celebration today. It must not be disrupted." He said this while saying to the guests: "It's an argument between young girls. Let's not get involved. Come, drink."
Xuan Tian Ye was coming to relieve the situation, and Feng Jin Yuan appreciated this gesture, as he quickly ordered the servants to carry Ru Jia out.
However, Feng Yu Heng raised an eyebrow and said in a voice louder than Xuan Tian Ye's: "Eldest brother! The foreign princess insulted our Da Shun's prince. What sort of crime is it?"
This shout nearly caused Kang Yi to faint. She nearly wanted to kneel in front of Feng Yu Heng. Originally, the third prince interjecting could be considered as having put this matter in the past, but why was she so unrelenting?
Feng Yu Heng was not the only one to not relent, as the eldest prince, Xuan Tian Qi, also felt that this matter should not be considered as having been resolved. Hearing what Feng Yu Heng asked him, he took a few steps forward and stood in front of the Feng family. Looking at Ru Jia and Kang Yi, in the end, he said to Feng Jin Yuan: "The foreign princess insulting a prince of Da Shun should be considered conspiracy to commit treason."
Feng Jin Yuan felt his neck immediately become soaked in a cold sweat, and Kang Yi's legs gave out. No longer able to remain steady, she swayed and was about to fall to the ground. Fortunately, a palace maid supported her and quietly reminded her: "Eldest princess, do not panic. You must save the princess!"
Normally, Kang Yi was a very tolerant person, and it was very difficult for anything to cause her to break. But she was still a mother, and there was not a single mother under the heavens that could remain calm after seeing their daughter become severely injured. But this palace maid was right. She could not panic, and she had to save Ru Jia.
Thus she gathered her thoughts and took the initiative to say: "Your Highness, the crime of treason is one that I truly cannot assume! Whether it is Kang Yi or Ru Jia, we are simply women. In the manor's inner courtyard, there will occasionally be some arguments, and they would be considered normal. I hope that your Highness is willing to forgive."
She tried to make it a matter of battles taking place within the inner courtyard of a manor to have the men shut up. But Xuan Tian Qi shook his head and said: "I have never heard of any arguing between girls that led to a prince being insulted. I am father Emperor's son. If there were any mistakes, I will naturally accept punishment from father Emperor and mother Empress. Even if it's imperial concubine mother, she needs to account for a prince's face and cannot bear too much responsibility. But I never thought that father Emperor's most beloved ninth brother would actually be insulted in such a fashion by a foreign princess. It truly is infuriating."
While Xuan Tian Qi spoke, his gaze became cold. It was so cold that it caused Kang Yi's body to also feel cold.
The third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, frowned and said: "Eldest brother, today is Prime minister Feng's wedding. Just forget about it!" Saying this, he turned to the guests and asked; "What do you say? Do you agree?"
It had to be said that if this was asked before, he definitely would have been supported without a doubt. But ever since the Emperor began favoring the eldest prince more and more, the situation in the court had already changed. People no longer followed Xuan Tian Ye. Once this was asked, not a single person spoke up, leaving an awkward atmosphere.
Feng Yu Heng looked at Xuan Tian Ye coldly, and stared daggers at him.
Kang Yi changed her strategy once more and changed her tone, saying: "Ru Jia has not had a father since she was young, and her uncle emperor doted on her. She has been spoiled while growing up, so it's unavoidable that her personality is a bit spoiled. This is also her first time coming to Da Shun, and she does not understand its rules. I hope that your Highness will give her another chance. Kang Yi will definitely have a granny come and teach her properly."
"So it was like that?" Xuan Tian Qi spoke thoughtfully: "Speaking like that, princess Ru Jia was quite a pitiful person."
Upon hearing that there was a chance, Kang Yi quickly said: "Your Highness, please do not worry. Ru Jia will definitely learn properly about Da Shun's manners. After she has learned properly, Kang Yi will personally bring her to the Yu Palace to beg for forgiveness."
Once this was said, everyone in the Feng family trembled, and Feng Jin Yuan quietly said: "There's no need to beg for forgiveness."
Kang Yi looked at him in confusion then heard the matriarch said: "You still want to look for trouble with the Yu Palace?"
Chen Yu repeatedly advised her: "If the matters are in the past, leave them be. Mother, you absolutely must not remind Prince Yu."
Feng Yu Heng glanced at Kang Yi then muttered: "Ru Jia does not understand the rules of Da Shun and is lacking in discipline…"
Xuan Tian Qi immediately understood what Feng Yu Heng meant and said: "Since that is the case, after today's wedding, this prince will personally send Princess Ru Jia into the palace. I will have the palace's grannies take care of personally instructing her." After saying this, he waved his hand, "It will be done like this! Today is Prime minister Feng's wedding. We absolutely must not allow it to be disrupted."
With his conclusion, the guests all nodded in agreement. The difference in support received when compared to Xuan Tian Ye was the difference between heaven and earth.
Kang Yi's expression became quite unsightly. She had been born in the imperial family and was raised in the imperial family. She naturally understood what it meant to send her daughter into the palace to be taught. Even if she did not die, she would lose a layer of skin!
She wanted to ask Feng Jin Yuan for help, but Feng Jin Yuan slightly shook his head to her, expressing that he was powerless.
Her heart gradually began to cool.
Xuan Tian Qi had spoken, and the matriarch was the first to react, quickly telling the servants: "Quickly bring Princess Ru Jia back to Jin Fu courtyard, and have someone invite an imperial physician. Then change her into a clean set of clothes. When the wedding has concluded, bring her with his Highness the eldest prince into the palace."
The Feng family's servants rushed about and quickly carried Ru Jia off.
Kang Yi no longer had any desire to remain in the front yard, as she had a palace maid support her back.
She really wanted to go visit Ru Jia, but one of Tian Xiang courtyard's servants said: "Princess is a newly-wedded wife today. After visiting the guests, you must return to be enthroned. You must not go to any other courtyard. This is a rule."
Kang Yi raised her head to take a look and found that it was a servant around 17 or 18 years old. She remembered that she had seen this servant in the matriarch's courtyard before. Thinking about it, it was the matriarch that had put this person at her side.
She understood this rule, thus she did not say anything. With the help of someone supporting her, she sat down on her bed.
The servant took the initiative to introduce herself: "This servant is Xia Chan. I previously worked in Shu Ya courtyard, but the elder madam said that once eldest princess has entered the manor, you should have someone who has been with the manor for a long time, thus she assigned this servant to come over. From this day forward, this servant will be with eldest princess. If I make any mistakes, would eldest princess please tell me and hand down punishment."
Xia Chan was very bright, as she had a smile that made it impossible for people to refuse her. Even if Kang Yi was still unhappy, she found it hard to express it in the face of this bright smile. Moreover, she had just married today. Ru Jia's situation was already a foregone conclusion, and she could not, under any circumstances, make any more mistakes.
Thus she smiled and said: "Xia Chan, what a beautiful name. I have allowed you to see something ridiculous in the front yard. It was all This one… it was all me failing to provide adequate instruction. When Ru Jia returns from the palace, we will need you to give us reminders." She said this while removing a jade bracelet and placing it on Xia Chan's wrist.
Although Xia Chan was joyful, she had become accustomed to taking care of the matriarch. Just a single jade bracelet would not be enough to cause her to forget her manners, thus she gave her thanks and said: "Madam, do not worry. Young miss will be able to leave the palace very quickly." While she spoke, she had already begun to address Kang Yi as madam, and Ru Jia had become young miss. This had helped ease Kang Yi's heart a great deal. "Madam, please sit for a while. You still cannot eat anything. In a while, elder madam will definitely be coming, and the concubine mothers and young misses should be coming with her. This servant will go prepare some tea."
Tian Xiang courtyard was busy, and the Feng manor's front yard once again became lively. Ru Jia's matter did not seem to affect the atmosphere, but the third prince, Xuan Tian Ye, held a cup of wine and stomped over to Feng Yu Heng.

Latest Healthy Kids News
By Denise Mann
WebMD Health News
Reviewed by Louise Chang, MD
Dec. 4, 2012 -- Close to 11,500 people were treated in emergency rooms in 2010 for nausea, vomiting, dizziness, and other symptoms related to the use of synthetic or fake marijuana products such as "K2" or "Spice."
Three-quarters of these people were aged 12 to 29, and 78% in this group were male. Most did not receive follow-up care after they were sent home from the ER.
The new data were released by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMSHA), as part of their Drug Abuse Warning Network. There were 2.3 million ER visits involving drug misuse or abuse in 2010, and of these, 11,406 involved fake marijuana products.
What Is Synthetic Marijuana?
Synthetic marijuana is marketed to have marijuana-like effects in the brain.
"Spice," "K2," "Mr. Smiley," "Red X Dawn," and "Blaze" are just some of the street names for synthetic marijuana drugs.
Until July 2012, they were available online and in convenience stores. Then the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) stepped in and banned five chemicals found in Spice and K2. This does still leave some wiggle room for creative manufacturers.
"I believe people are still able to get these products in different ways," says Rear Admiral Peter Delany, PhD. He is the director of the Center for Behavioral Health Statistics and Quality at SAMSHA in Rockville, Md. "You can ban chemicals, but if manufacturers modify the chemical format, they are no longer on the banned list."
The group plans to have some data available next year as to what has happened since the DEA's ban.
Until then, parents need to understand what fake marijuana products are and the lingo that kids use to discuss these substances.
"This is a drug and it can have repercussions, especially if it is mixed with other things," Delany says.
According to the new report, in almost 60% of emergency room visits involving synthetic marijuana in people ages 12-29, no other substances were involved.
Symptoms of fake marijuana use may include:
- Agitation
- Anxiety
- Nausea
- Vomiting
- Paranoia
- Seizures
- Hallucinations
- Increased heart rate and blood pressure
- Tremors
"Kids are coming in intoxicated with nausea and dizziness more frequently than in the past, and synthetic marijuana is something that we consider when we see these symptoms," says Robert Glatter, MD, an emergency medicine doctor at Lenox Hill Hospital in New York City. "They present in ways that you would think they were using mind- or mood-altering substances."
These products can't be detected on drug screens, which is why some kids are drawn to them and why it is challenging to capture solid information on their use and abuse, he says.
Paul Hokemeyer, PhD, says fake marijuana use is a real crisis. He is a therapist at Caron Treatment Center's New York City Office. "Adolescent boys are always looking for new ways to get high." Here, "they get high off of toxic chemicals, and this may have long-term risks," he says. "We don't know what they are putting into their body."

Nicole Eggert was hospitalized Friday on the set of Splash, TMZ reports. The former Baywatch star was attempting a dive that included multiple backflips, but she ended up hitting the water back first.
An on-site EMT immediately went to pull Eggert from the pool and she was taken to a hospital for treatment. She was released after a few hours.
8 reasons why you need to watch Splash
While the 41-year-old didn't break any bones, doctors were wary of internal injuries, particularly her kidneys.
Eggert isn't the star to injure herself on Splash. Chuy Bravo fractured his heel before he could even compete, Katherine Webb had to quit due to a back injury and Rory Bushfield ruptured his eardrum a few weeks ago but has continued to compete.

Nirvanix has told customers they must stop replicating data to its cloud service and download any data they wish to save by Oct. 15, although it still hasn't made a public statement or changed any of the marketing or other information on its website.
The narrow window for downloading raises the question of how large Nirvanix's download pipes are and whether customers will be able to get production data out in time.
All Nirvanix customers received the following notice Tuesday, according to TechCrunch's IT Knowledge Exchange, an online forum of IT professionals: "We are notifying you as soon as possible after making this decision so that you can make alternative plans for storage service. Nirvanix will have resources available to continue to provide service between now and Oct. 15 for you to download your data free of charge."
In some cases, Nirvanix was being used as a storehouse for second or third copies of data, as an archival site rather than primary data storage. Those customers may just stop replicating to Nirvanix and replicate to a new site. They should also seek assurance that those backup copies will be appropriately destroyed as Nirvanix withdraws from the cloud storage business.
Customers who have unique or primary data sets on Nirvanix have a bigger problem.
[ Want to learn more about Nirvanix's cloud service shutdown? See Nirvanix Shutdown: Some Customers Face Mission Impossible. ]
Cloud services post what they charge for a given amount of bandwidth as customers download or move data between availability zones on Amazon Web Services, but they rarely say how much total bandwidth can be made available at any given time. The more customers who try to download data between now and Oct. 15, the more Nirvanix's existing bandwidth will be divided up, resulting in what may be slower data transfers.
Nasuni, an online service focused on guaranteeing data transfer speeds, attempted in 2011 to figure out how well various cloud services would perform, given the task of transferring small, medium and large data sets. Nirvanix was one of six tested at the time, although it was dropped from a subsequent annual report on data transfer capabilities because Nasuni became wary of placing its customers' data on Nirvanix after the first test.
Those test results may shed light on Nirvanix's present data-write capabilities. They also shed light on the data transfer capabilities of other cloud services that Nirvanix customers may be currently considering, such as HP, Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, Rackspace, AT&T or Peer1. The figures indicate that Nirvanix stood with the best of service providers when it came to reading large data sets coming in. It ranked in the lower tier, fourth out of six, when it came to its speed of writing data, a limiting function when it comes to sending data out.
Nasuni compared the transfer speed of small (1 KB), medium (128 KB) and large (1 MB) files.
"Two cloud service providers emerged as top performers, Amazon S3 and Microsoft Azure, with S3 being the standout across all evaluation areas (performance, availability, scalabilty)," concluded the 2011 report.
Nirvanix made the cut in 2011, listed among the service providers that met Nasuni's minimal standards. Ten out of 16 services tested didn't, according to the Nasuni report made public on the tests.
InformationWeek obtained copies of Nasuni's 2011 and 2013 reports to see what they could tell storage users about Nirvanix data transfer performance and that of other cloud suppliers in 2011, and how their performance may have changed two years later.
Nirvanix outstripped overall standout AWS S3 in 2011 when it came to writing large, 1 MB files. Nirvanix was able to write close to 2.4 megabits per second, compared to Amazon's 2.1 Mbps, according to bar charts in the report. Only Microsoft was faster in the category than Nirvanix.
Likewise, Nirvanix excelled at reading large files, leading the pack at 13.3 Mbps, compared to Amazon's 11.1 Mbps and Microsoft's 13.1 Mbps.
When it came to writing medium-sized, 128 KB files, Nirvanix dropped back to fourth at 1.4 Mbps, compared to Amazon's 1.9 Mbps and Microsoft's 2 Mbps.
In writing small, 1 KB files, Nirvanix fell further behind proportionally, writing roughly 45 small files per second compared to Amazon's 129, according to InformationWeek estimates derived from bar charts printed in the report. Microsoft led the pack at 152 files; number three, AT&T, wrote 98 files; number five, Rackspace, 28 files; and number six, Peer1, handled 23 files.
The Nirvanix change in position illustrates that it was geared to write large enterprise files most efficiently compared to the other services, but ranked fourth on the writes of the two smaller file sizes.
The read function is also necessary in data export, and again the gap between Nirvanix and market leaders was greatest in the movement of small files. Amazon read 388 small files per second; AT&T, 270; Rackspace, 200; Microsoft, 153; Nirvanix, 127; Peer1, 47.
When it came to reading large files, the rankings were: Nirvanix, 13.5 Mbps; Microsoft, 13.4 Mbps; Amazon, 11.1 Mbps; AT&T, 9.9 Mbps; Rackspace, 6.2 Mbps; and Peer1, 2.6 Mbps.
Reading at a high rate of speed will aid taking large files into your service, although writes may back up in the process.

4-year-old girl left on school bus for second time
A Kenosha County father wants answers about why his 4-year-old daughter was left on a school bus for a second time by the same driver.
"And to sweep it under the rug the first time, and I have to find out from my daughter is unacceptable," the girl's father, Robert English, said.
English said his 4-year-old daughter, Bailey, was left behind on a Trevor-Wilmot school bus, not once, but twice this school year, by the same driver, who he said wasn't disciplined the first time in November:
"She told me, 'Daddy I fell asleep on the bus.' And I go, 'You fell asleep on the bus?' And she goes, 'Yeah, I woke up in some person's driveway and the house,'" English said.
The latest incident happened Thursday. The driver works for Dousman Transport Company, which serves Trevor-Wilmot School District and other districts from Arrowhead to Mukwonago.
"This particular individual is not going to ever drive any of our school district's bus routes again," Trevor-Wilmot School Superintendent George Steffen said. "In neither case was the child alone on the bus, but that's still, the bus should not have left here with the child asleep on it."
The superintendent said the driver is supposed to clear the bus before leaving school property.
Engish said at his meeting with school and bus company leaders he was told the driver still hadn't been fired.
"And now you're going to tell me, she's no longer going to drive for our school, but she's going to drive for another district, and this could happen to somebody else's kid," English said.
On the bus company's website, their slogan says "We transport the world's most precious cargo." It also says, "The safety of your children is our primary goal."
The school superintendent was told the bus company is still investigating, including reviewing bus camera recordings.
WISN 12 News asked Dousman Transport for comment. A spokesman refused.
WISN 12 News hasn't been told what district the bus driver will be driving for.

Michael C. Riley Elementary School Student Council members, teachers and chaperones visited the Statehouse in Columbia on Jan. 19.
During the annual field trip, students met and took pictures with Lt. Governor Ken Ard and State Rep. Bill Herbkersman, R-Bluffton. They were also recognized by State Sen. Tom Davis, R-Beaufort, during a legislative session in the Senate.
While listening in on the session, a debate on "bullying" transpired. A guided tour was provided, which was preceded by a 15-minute DVD on the history and architecture of the State House. Through a scavenger hunt, students were allowed to view and explore the grounds of the State House.
To raise funds for the field trip, Student Council members held a yard sale in October and a holiday card sale in December.

Why are car catalysts worth so much? Catalysts alone do not cost much if one thing is not taken into account. The design of this item costs no more than 150 USD for a best matrix and best metal. But main price is precious spraying, which includes platinum, white gold and many other dredges, metals that are oxidized, evaporated and mixed with exhaust gases during heating, eventually converting them into harmless gases. If not for this spraying, then any driver could afford to buy a new fresh catalyst. Unfortunately, the value of a brand and company that sells the product is still wound up on a production cost of a catalyst. As a result, such spare parts are very expensive, which of course affects the demand for this product. How to choose a catalyst? Should one buy expensive or cheap? You must always choose a catalyst for a car engine. The more powerful the engine, the better the catalyst should stand, for example, if you have Solaris, Focus, Fabia, then catalyst can be supplie

Catalyst in a car serves to reduce toxicity of exhaust exhaust gases from the engine, but exhaust system element is often clogged by slag and fails. Usually owners want to improve vehicle performance like increased power, aestheticization and drive quality. Power has been achieved with an installed crankshaft with an increased radius of a curved cylinder, as well as with a variable camshaft or adding a high octane rating to gasoline, removing catalyst. It must be dangerous to increase power through tuning exhaust system. But this is one of the most affordable and productive methods of increasing power. Before trying it, consider all pros and cons. Consult experts of the industry and specialized companies. They will select, and possibly even compatible types of tuning of exhaust system to obtain best vehicle performance. There Is also chip tuning process, which involves changing engine programs and increasing productivity by 20-30%! Removing catalyst or replacing it with a f
Nowadays in the vastness of network, you can find many tips where motorists offer their less experienced colleagues to cut off the catalyst on a car. It's time to figure out why this element of design was so annoying for some drivers, and why in fact it should be left in its place. The first and most important thing why unfortunate catalyst is so annoying for many motorists is its cost. And everything because the catalyst uses expensive platinum. That is why few people want to spend huge amounts on replacing catalyst. As a result, many drivers simply decide to remove the part, and install a flame extinguisher on its place in the muffler. On the one hand, this move is cunning and even somewhat reasonable (a slight increase in power). If only because if nothing is done with problematic element immediately, then it will be worse. On the other hand, it's better not to do this at all. Firstly, it is necessary to clarify a simple truth that a car without catalyst become
Car catalyst is designed to neutralize harmful car exhausts and is part of exhaust system. A catalyst is an element of an engine exhaust system designed to clean exhaust gases before they are released into the atmosphere. The need to develop this automobile motor assembly arose in 60s of the last century, when the world community was concerned about the state of ecology on our planet. At that time, the level of emissions from automobile exhaust pipes was not established at legislative level. The first standards for content of toxic products in car emissions were introduced in 1970s. Auto producers were required to equip cars with devices that reduce volume of carbon monoxide and products of combustion of hydrocarbons. Since 1975, catalyst has become an indispensable part of all cars coming off the assembly line. Manufacturers install three types of catalysts on cars: Ceramic item use a mechanical method of cleaning exhaust gases. It consist of ceramic plates coated with

|Background: Studies have shown that decreased lung function is predictive of various health outcomes including asthma, heart disease, and death. Although there are some inconsistencies in the literature, many studies have shown that exposure to various types of air pollutants negatively impact lung growth in children and adults. Furthermore, there is some evidence that social stress may also be of importance in the understanding of respiratory health; however, no studies have explored the joint relationship between lung function, air pollution, and stress. The aims of this study are to further explore the relationship between childhood lung function and air pollution, specifically traffic-related pollutants (TRPs), and to assess the potential modifying effects of parental stress.; Methods: A total of 1,811 children from a new southern Californian Children's Health Study cohort participated in lung function testing during the sixth year of the study. Forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume during the first second (FEV1), maximal mid-expiratory flow (MMEF) and peak expiratory flow rates (PEFR) were measured at each of the 44 participating schools. Various metrics of TRP were used including distance to road and two different types of model-based estimates of pollutant concentration. The first set of modeled TRP estimates were based on the CALINE4 line-source air-quality dispersion model, which took into account local traffic information and meteorological conditions. The other set of TRP are predicted residential exposures of NO2, NO, and NOx that incorporated population demographics and topography in addition to local traffic information. Parental perceived stress and other covariates were collected through questionnaire.; Results: Close proximity to a major road was found to be negatively associated with both FEV1 and FVC, while close proximity to a freeway was negatively associated with only FVC. Among all children, no observed associations were found with CALINE4 predicted exposures. However with respect to the 10th-90th percent distribution, predicted residential NO was associated with a 1.4% deficit in FEV1 and a 2% deficit in FVC (per 7.6 ppb). Similarly, predicted residential NOx was associated with a 1.3% deficit in FEV1 and a 1.9% deficit in FVC (per 21.9 ppb), while residential NO2 was associated with a 1.7% deficit in FVC (per 14.5 ppb). The impact of various TRPs was more pronounced among children whose parents were classified as being highly stressed. Over the same distribution of predicted residential exposures to NO, NOx, and NO2, these children experienced a 3.3%, 3.6%, and 3.6% deficit in FEV1, respectively, while for children in lower stress homes, these pollutants had little impact. Similar findings were also observed with respect to the non-freeway component of CALINE4-modeled TRP and distance to a major road as well as when FVC was chosen as the outcome. Effect modification by parental stress was statistically significant in all of these examples. No statistically significant associations of TRP were found with MMEF and PEFR.; Discussion: These findings suggest that exposure to traffic-related pollutants negatively impacts the development of children's lungs. Furthermore, living in a high stress household potentiates the adverse effects of these residential traffic-related pollutants.

ROCKFORD - Keep an eye on your speedometer. You're more likely to get a traffic ticket in March than any other month.
On average, police officers in agencies across Boone, Winnebago, Ogle and Stephenson counties make about 5,200 traffic stops in March and dole out 3,400 tickets, an analysis of Illinois Department of Transportation traffic data from 2008-12 shows. These include all kinds of citations, from speeding to improper lane usage and busted tail lights.
March recorded the largest number of stops in four of the past five years of IDOT data and was the month with the most tickets issued in three of those years. May had the most tickets in the other two years.
Winnebago County Sheriff Dick Meyers has referred to it as "drivers coming out of hibernation," a nod to the fact that weather tends to warm up and ice begins to clear from roads in March. The average temperature is about 12 degrees higher in March than February, according to National Weather Service data.
"Because the roads get a little clearer, people may start to accelerate a little and their driving patterns may become a little more free," Meyers said. "Our officers will notice that."
Special focused patrols operated by most departments, like the annual DUI patrol on St. Patrick's Day weekend, may boost March ticket volume.
IDOT's traffic data reveal more than just the most popular months for traffic tickets. Here are some other facts gleaned from the records of thousands of traffic stops made from 2008 to 2012. The 2013 statistics are expected to be released in July.
Did you know ...
Men get more tickets than women
Men accounted for nearly 60 percent of all traffic stops across the four-county region in 2012. They were also slightly more likely to get a ticket after being stopped. Men got tickets 61 percent of the time they were pulled over. Women were ticketed 60 percent of the time they were stopped.
Men were given 18,164 tickets in 2012 compared with 12,010 issued to women.
64 percent of stops lead to tickets
Police don't hand out citations every time they pull someone over, but the majority of stops lead to tickets. About 262,700 traffic stops were made between 2008 and 2012 in Boone, Winnebago, Ogle and Stephenson counties. Police cited drivers in 64 percent of those stops.
County deputies are less forgiving
County sheriff's departments let drivers off with a warning far less often than their counterparts in municipal police departments. For example, Rockford officers ticketed drivers in 60 percent of stops during 2012, while Winnebago County deputies issued tickets in 82.5 percent of stops.
Ogle County sheriff's deputies were the most likely to give a ticket after pulling someone over, doing so in 97.5 percent of 2012 stops.
One explanation is that county roads have less traffic, offering more opportunities to speed.
"The opportunity for accelerated speeds is greater out in the rural areas, so we're less tolerant of it," Meyers said. "When you have a road that's designed for 55 mph and then all the sudden somebody's doing 70, your risk accelerates exponentially."
Another possibility is that county jurisdictions have fewer crime hot spots and less violent crime than municipalities, leaving deputies with more time for traffic patrol, Rockford Police Lt. Pat Hoey said.
Be mindful of speed trailers
Those speed trailers that flash a display of vehicles' speeds as they pass aren't just to remind you how fast you're going. Police also use the trailers to gather data about when they need to step up patrols. Once the trailer is removed, you're likely to find police waiting to catch you speeding.
Rockford police respond with the trailer after receiving speeding complaints from aldermen or residents. The trailer will gather data for a few days, which police use to learn the best times they ought to run radar patrols.
"If we do see a problem, then we send the officers out there the next week or two when we know the highest speeds are and run radar and write tickets," Hoey said.
Rockford police get more lenient?
Data show Rockford police have been letting more drivers off with warnings each year since 2009. In 2009, police gave tickets in 73.4 percent of traffic stops. That percentage has dropped each year with just 59.4 percent of stops in 2012 resulting in tickets.
Traffic stops often can lead to arrests for more serious crimes involving drugs, weapons or outstanding warrants, Hoey said. The department wants to make traffic stops, but that's not necessarily because they're looking to issue tickets.
Traffic stops are "the pretext that leads to all these bad guys. That's when we find the guns in the car and the dope in the car and everything else," Hoey said. "We are going to stop them because of the traffic violation, but if the people are not wanted, they're licensed and they appear to be doing everything else right then we let them go and try to stop the next car."
Note: 2012 data included about four months of data for Cherry Valley police and less than six months for Village of Winnebago police.

I'm referring, of course, to single-player co-op. What did you think I was talking about?
Currently sitting in Greenlight and humbly collecting votes is Time Rifters, a rather unique-looking FPS. Basically, you need to blow something up on every level, usually a big old monster. You get four lives to do so. But therein lies the twist: your four lives can exist, run around and shoot simultaneously.
So you plan out your attack using all four versions of yourself, deciding what weapons and upgrades to use, where to go and what to shoot, then take down your opponent strategically with the assistance of your "time clones," as the game calls them. It's really clever stuff, take a look:
With a name like Time Rifters, you might be wondering if this game supports the Oculus Rift. It does, yeah. It was developed for it, in fact, but it's just as playable on a monitor—something you can experience yourself by trying out the demo.
