When he retired as an NBA player two years ago, former Orlando Magic superstar Shaquille O'Neal said he might join an NBA ownership group.
He's fulfilled that goal.
O'Neal has bought a minority stake of the Sacramento Kings and will try to lend his star power to a long-suffering franchise that needs all the buzz it can get.
The Kings were recently purchased by a group headed by Silicon Valley entrepreneur Vivek Ranadive, and the move kept the Kings in Sacramento.
"What interested me in this deal is the new vision, the new Kings, the new everything," O'Neal told USA Today Sports. "I've always wanted to be part of something like this. ... It's going to be great."
O'Neal was scheduled to meet with Kings players today and go to dinner with Kings center DeMarcus Cousins. Kings officials hope O'Neal can serve as a mentor to Cousins, a talented but often undisciplined player.
O'Neal also will add some glitz to the Kings franchise.
"I wanted to find somebody to add to the ownership group who truly represented 21st century basketball, who represented my vision of NBA 3.0, which is having an understanding of technology, wanting to build a global brand and being global in their thinking, and really being committed to having an impact in the community," Ranadive said, according to USA Today Sports.

A strike by workers for the company that makes Twinkies and HoHos is putting nearly 300 local workers' jobs at stake.
Hostess Brands said it would start shutting down operations next week unless enough workers stopped a nationwide strike by the end of the workday Thursday.
In Texas, the company said once it shuts down it will sell the company's assets because they cannot weather the strike. Nationwide, about 18,000 jobs could be effected.
The strike includes workers at the Merita Bread Bakery in downtown Orlando where some striking workers would not talk on camera but said they have heard the threat before.
Local workers said they have taken pay and pension cuts and won't take it anymore. Customers said they understand.
"You give your time to the company, you devote your life to them and for a company to say, 'Too bad, too sad,' is really unfortunate," said Darlene Kaiser.
Workers said they hope Hostess will sell their operations to another company and that they keep making bread.
Some of the striking workers said they are even willing to risk the chance of losing their jobs in this economy to get what they feel they deserve.

Author Notes: French Onion Soup is one of the first dishes I ever taught myself to make and is still one of my favorite winter comfort foods. Here's my recipe for it on my cooking webseries, Working Class Foodies: http://www.youtube.com… —wcfoodies
Food52 Review: This is almost, but not quite, the traditional French onion soup that comes to mind. It starts with a full 3 pounds of onions and some smashed garlic, which you caramelize slowly and thoroughly in butter and olive oil. You add thyme and bay leaf and some rich veal stock (homemade is highly recommended both by wcfoodies and by us), and then it's time for the crowning glory: 2 full cups of wine or beer. We used a dark ale and really liked the bit of kick that the finished soup still had after 2 plus hours on the stove. Take your time with the onions, and use the three-cheese combo instead of a deli slice. And don't forget to put a piece of toast in the bottom of each bowl — it makes for a lovely surprise. – A&M —The Editors
Serves: 4-6
Prep time: 20 min
Cook time: 3 hrs 25 min
pounds onions
tablespoons butter
tablespoons olive oil
cloves of garlic (up to 6)
generous pinch of salt
pinch black peppercorns
sprigs fresh thyme
bay leaf
cups beef, veal, and/or vegetable stock, preferably homemade (up to 6 cups)
cups red wine, preferably a burgundy, OR
cups beer, preferably a brown ale or stout (not chocolate)
baguette or other crusty bread
(up to 6) deli slices of cheese, OR
cup EACH of gouda, gruyere, parmesan & pecorino
- Slice & segment 3 pounds of onions.
- Melt together the butter and olive oil in a large stockpot.
- Crush and peel the garlic. You don't have to mince it; it will caramelize and turn soft and sweet as it cooks. Caramelize the garlic in the olive oil and butter.
- Pour in the onions, season with salt and pepper, and stir around just until the onions are all coated in the olive oil/butter.
- Add in the fresh thyme and the bay leaf and let the onions caramelize, about 20 minutes.
- Once the onions are caramelized and have cooked down, pour in the stock, about 4-6 cups depending on whether you prefer your soup more onion-y or more soup-y.
- Then, pour in the wine or beer and simmer, uncovered, for at least an hour and as much as three hours, tasting occasionally to adjust the flavors.
- Meanwhile, slice down your bread. Stale bread is perfectly okay for this, just heat it up a bit in a warm (250ºF) oven first to soften it. Toast the bread; you can rub both sides with a cut clove of garlic first, if you like. You'll want 2 pieces of bread per person – one for the bottom of the bowl, and one for on top.
- If you're going for the mix of cheeses, grate together about 1/2 cup each of parmesan, pecorino, gouda, and gruyere. Alternatively, you can drape a deli-cut slice of cheese (emmentaler, gruyere) over the top of the bowls, but I like to do a grated mix. Get that ready, and set it aside.
- Preheat your broiler. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the soup.
- Arrange your oven-safe individual serving bowls or coffee mugs on a baking tray with a thin lip.
- TO SERVE: drop a toast slice in the bottom of each bowl. Ladle in the soup and cover with a second slice of toast. Then cover the toast with cheese. Be generous! You want the cheese to seal in the soup and drape over the edge of the bowl.
- Broil for a few minutes, until the cheese is brown and bubbling on top. Garnish with a little fresh thyme, and serve.

Soybean bulls continue to believe USDA export estimates of 1.350 billion is too low...suffice to say, I have to agree. There is also more talk about global meal shortages driving near-term prices and bull-spreads higher. I continue to like meal over oil, old-crop bulls spreads, and old-crop vs. new-crop spreads. I see no real solution to the protein problem!
Technical traders will be keeping a close eye on the $14.40 level in MAY13 soybeans, as it has been an area of tough resistance as of late. I should also point out producer selling has been rumored to be much heavier as of late on the pop in both flat-price and basis. Most sources in the domestic market have rolled basis bids forward from May to July. It won't be long and they will be rolling forward to the Nov contract. It will will be interesting to see how it all plays out.
Producers who can get close to $15 cash may want to consider moving a few bushels then re-owning the board in some capacity. An "old-crop vs. new-crop" bull-spread or simple call type strategy can be entertained.

At RealNetworks, Laid-Off Workers Are Streaming Out the Door
They're swinging the ax once again over at RealNetworks.
The digital media pioneer, which is in the midst of yet another effort to rebuild its business, said Tuesday that it is sacking about 7 percent of its workforce and may lay off an additional 7 percent in the months ahead. Some 80 RealNetworks employees will lose their jobs as a result, with another 80 left in a lousy will-I-still-have-a-job-by-the-end-of-the-year limbo for the next few months.
The move, part of Real's plan to reduce costs by $45 million, was announced to employees in a company-wide email from founder and newly-returned CEO Rob Glaser.
Dear RealNetworks Team,
I'm writing to provide an update on the progress we've made over the past 8 weeks and to provide some context and information regarding the layoffs that are taking place today.
When I came back in as Interim CEO on July 3rd, I said we would focus on 3 things:
Reviewing and assessing all of our businesses and new initiatives,
Coming up with a go-forward Strategy for RealNetworks that would set us up to grow and thrive, and
Putting together a plan to stop burning cash and to return the company to profitability.
I also said we would move fast, have a bias towards action, and would work hard to complete all 3 of these efforts within 2 months.
After a lot of hard work by many people across the company and around the world, today I report to you that we have indeed achieved the 3 objectives we set out to work on beginning 8 weeks ago.
Very soon I will have a lot more to say about our collective assessment of our businesses & new initiatives, and about our go forward strategy. Specifically, we have scheduled a series of company meetings – both in Seattle and at our main offices around the world – for on or around September 6th. After these meetings I believe that each of you in attendance will walk away with a clear understanding of our strategies and excitement regarding where we're going.
Today I will discuss our plans to return the company to profitability — in a way that will set us up for future growth & success.
As we mentioned on our financial results call on August 8th, our senior team has put together a plan to cut at least $45 Million of annualized costs. This plan has several aspects to it; one of the main ones is to streamline our operations and to do things more efficiently.
Unfortunately, a major part of this streamlining entails reducing our workforce from approximately 1140 people to about 980 people. We are doing this in two phases. The first phase, which begins today, involves laying off approximately 80 people, who are being given notice today.
The second phase, which will take place over the next 3 to 7 months, involves approximately 80 more people, who are being notified today that there is a specific future date when their current assignment will be ending. We hope to redeploy a number of these people when their current assignments end, but as of today don't know how many we will find positions for. These people are working on projects that will merge duplicate systems or otherwise make us more efficient.
I want to express my deepest gratitude to the approximately 160 people affected by today's announcement, and also my remorse that we have had to take these steps. You have all made major contributions to RealNetworks. We are grateful for everything you have done for our company and our customers.
I also want to express my appreciation to the approximately 980 people who are not directly impacted by today's actions, and to acknowledge that many of you are indirectly affected, because of the impact on your colleagues and friends.
Permit me to close on a personal note. When I came back into Real after having been away from day-to-day operations for 2 ½ years, I thought there was a pretty high likelihood that there would be a day like today. I knew it would suck for everyone, and indeed it does.
But I promised myself that if we did have to do a significant layoff, I would do everything in my power to make sure that when we did it we also knew where we were going. I wanted to be able to look everyone in the eye and tell them that we have a plan to succeed that I believed in from the bottom of my heart.
I feel like we are almost there. While we still have a few areas to work out, we have made great progress. I can honestly tell you today that we are at least 80% of the way to having such a plan for every major part of our company, and have line-of-sight on the final 20%.
This clarity on strategy, as you would expect, has significantly influenced how and where we are cutting costs, and where we are investing for the future. I look forward to discussing this further when we meet next week.

Featured Expeditions & AEF Projects Find us
Over the course of more than a century, American institutions and scholars have played an important role in the exploration of ancient Egypt. Outstanding early pioneers included Egyptologists such as Charles E. Wilbour, James H. Breasted, George A. Reisner, Harold H. Nelson, and Herbert E. Winlock.
Today, ARCE's member institutions and affiliated scholars, working closely with Egypt's Minisitry of State for Antiquities, conduct research and expeditions throughout the country: in the Delta, along the Mediterranean Coast, in the Nile Valley, among the Egyptian deserts and oases. These expeditions engage all periods of Egyptian history, from prehistoric through Islamic times.
ARCE's Cairo Center provides administrative and technical assistance to ARCE-affiliated expeditions, whose activities include archaeology, epigraphic work, documentation, mapping, scientific research, and conservation.
Since its inception, the Antiquities Endowment Fund (AEF) has funded a total of 96 projects valued at over 3.5 million US dollars. The flexibility of the award is one of its outstanding qualities. Read more >>
Director: David O'Connor
In recent years a primary aim of the project has been the systematic investigation of a series of mysterious monumental cultic buildings constructed by Egypt's first kings on a low desert terrace overlooking the ancient town. Although some of these monuments have been known for many years, they remained little investigated and not well understood. Read more >>

William Flinders Petrie's brief excavation of the site of Tausret's "temple of millions of years" in 1896 resulted in less than three pages of publication. Subsequent interpretation of his finds promoted the idea that there was nothing left of interest other than features and objects related to its foundation: trenches, stones, and deposits, all already excavated by Petrie. Since 2004, however, efforts by the University of Arizona Egyptian Expedition (UAEE) have been fruitful, producing new material and shedding light on the temple itself and the female pharaoh for whom it was built.

So according to Wikipedia………the clown is a comedic or slapstick performer that performs a variety of comic routines that make people laugh, cry, and have a good time. So the clown is getting a lot of bad publicity right now..but were not going to focus on it…..well instead focus on……the positive. Clowns are needed in our society and are in some cultures seen with the same regard as clergy men….but another thing is clowns have been known to heal children or people that were severely sick by just being able to have people laugh at them and take their minds off of their pain……Well don't take my word for it……Take a quick look at the History of the Clown…as well as the History of the Trickster…………Click the link.
This is a funny video from mad that I cant stop laughing at…..but still props to Tommy the Clown for all he's done.
One day I'll be working with you both…Crista Flanagan (Nippy) and Jordan Peele (Noodles)…thanks for making us laugh and for writing the sketches yourselves.

Weapons in GTA San Andreas
Weapons in GTA San Andreas are a principal aspect of the game. Some weapons have returned from previous games, while others are additions available only in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (and later Grand Theft Auto IV). A particularly useful addition is the silenced pistol, which is perfect for stealth maneuvering (another new feature), as it attracts less attention. There are also two key improvements in weapon handling, as compared to Grand Theft Auto: Vice City: assisted aiming and dual-weapon wielding.
Assisted Aiming
| Some of the information on this page might not be accurate.
Please help by correcting the information, finding sources to prove the information, or discussing the issues on the talk page.
GTA San Andreas includes computer-assisted auto-aiming, which occurs when pedestrian targets are within the weapon's range. The range is determined by the type of weapon and the player's proficiency with that weapon (Weapon Skill stat). Aiming is an improvement upon the auto-aim available in previous games where the computer would cycle between auto-aim and manual aim, depending upon the proximity of possible targets. [Verification Needed] Furthermore, when multiple targets are within range, the computer selects the closest target first. Another key feature is the targeting lock that changes color as the target's health decreases. Green progresses to orange, which progresses to red, and finally black upon the target's death.
The assisted aiming feature is available on every weapon except the Rifle, the Sniper Rifle, projectiles, or any of the heavy weapons. This aiming system also bears a strong resemblance to the execution system in Rockstar's Manhunt [Verification Needed] where the darker the color or the target, the more gruesome the execution; while in San Andreas the darker the color of the target, the less health of the target.
The second new feature is the ability to duel-wield several weapons (Pistol, Tec9, Micro uzi, Sawnoff shotguns) after reaching hitman weapon skill level. These weapons are light enough and feature reloading that is compatible with holding one in each hand. This allows the player to inflict twice the amount of damage per reload cycle.
Here is a list of the available weapon slots, and the weapons that can be used in those slots. Weapons in italics can be dual-wielded.
|Slot 1: Hand
|Slot 2: Melee Weapons
|Slot 3: Handguns
|Slot 4: Shotguns
|Slot 5: Sub-Machine Guns
|Slot 6: Assault Rifles
|Slot 7: Rifles
|Slot 8: Heavy Weapons
|Slot 9: Explosives
|Slot 10: Handheld Items
|Slot 11: Gifts
|Slot 12: Special Items
|Slot 13: Others
- The Tec-9 and the Minigun are the only weapons which, when fired, do not move Carl's body, unlike most weapons.
- Oddly enough, melee weapons such as the chainsaw can be used to amass large sums of money in short periods of time if the player correctly utilizes the weapon with no law enforcement in their vicinity. Much like the bat in GTA III where the play can kill literally thousands of citizens with no wanted level if planned correctly.

TORONTO, Sept. 14 (UPI) -- A veteran Jewish professor at Toronto's York University has been accused by a Jewish student of making an anti-Semitic remark in class.
During his "Self, Culture and Society" class Monday, Prof. Cameron Johnston told some 500 students part of the course would challenge the assumption everyone is entitled to express their opinion, the Toronto Star reported.
As an example, he quoted the Nazi expression used before and during World War II that "all Jews should be sterilized" as an unacceptable example of opinions.
Senior Sarah Grunfeld, 22, left the lecture hall and went to the office of an Israeli advocacy group on campus and complained. Within hours, a news release had been issued and accusations of anti-Semitism were all over the Internet, the newspaper said.
"I'm terribly upset," Johnston told the Star. "So I'm pretty shocked to find the consequences [of ] what I was talking about in lecture is that I get seen as an example of prejudice."
Sheldon Goodman of the Center for Israel and Jewish Affairs said the student's accusation was "an appropriate reminder that great caution must be exercised before concluding a statement or action is anti-Semitic."

Interroll Vertical crossbelt sorter
The main feature of Interroll's vertical crossbelt sorter with linear, straight routing ("above – below") is its distinctive space-saving design because of its compact, modular approach. For example, a width of just 1.7 m is sufficient to install a vertical sorter with 400 × 400 mm crossbelt carriers. This configuration can also save valuable space, if full containers are transported into the sorter. This is unique on the market. The infeed on the vertical sorter usually starts with an accumulating conveyor in front of the actual sorter - a simple conveyor belt. Operators are able to manually feed goods directly onto this accumulating conveyor - a cost-effective and ergonomic solution. The accumulating conveyor can, of course, also be loaded via semi-automated or fully-automated infeeds.

Storytelling with HOPE at its heart
"Cynthia Ruchti writes fiction (and nonfiction) that touches people's hearts. Her work is often as significant as what professional counselors do in their therapy sessions to heal people's emotional wounds. I highly recommend her novels."–Dr. Judith Rolfs, author and licensed family counselor
Hope often shows up best against a dark backdrop.
If you've ever opened a novel and found a fictional character who seemed to understand how you feel, or turned the pages of a nonfiction book where the author seemed to put into words and actions what you found inexpressible, you're the reader for whom my characters and their stories are created.
If your life is one sunny patch after another, you may appreciate insights into the lives of those whose path leads them through difficulties that try their souls and defy solutions. The inspiration of their courage may feed your compassion. The hope that dispels shadows and lights a heart's dark corners can light your own. You, too, can confidently say, "I can't unravel. I'm hemmed in hope."
My prayer is that you will close the last page of my novels with a satisfied sigh. It will bless me if you say, "What a great story!" It will bless me more to hear, "What a great God!"
"Be to me a rock of refuge in which to dwell, and a sheltering stronghold to which I may continually resort…for You are my HOPE; O Lord God, You are my trust…and the source of my confidence." Psalm 71:3, 5 Amplified Bible

Well, the EU wants to get rid of it, so there's good news for you.
I've seen a lot of complaints about the darkness. I didn't have that issue. It looked great, and the darkness was fitting for the story. Then again, I watched it in complete darkness in the middle of the night. The previous episode I watched in the daytime and it reminded me that I need to get more blackout curtains.Great episode, though. One of my favorites of the entire series.
I always get excited when a game tells me to do that. That means it's probably going to scare the hell out of me (or at least try).
If your game needs such restrictive conditions to be enjoyable, it probably isn't too good to begin with.

Quote from: notarobotyet on 03 Jul 2019, 07:13Every single crappy horror asset flip game on itch.io says that though. At this point it doesn't really mean anything except maybe a couple of VERY LOUD JUMPSCARES! Oh I could tell you a thing or two about those crappy horror "games" on itch.io.I've already boiled it down to a formula.Always a flashlight (sometimes one which runs out of battery power, so you can't see anything).Always a room that's illuminated red, somewhere in the game.Always notes littered about the place, because apprently people write down their thoughts on random pieces of paper and leave them lying around.Almost always a basement that you have go into to attempt to turn the power on.ALWAYS literal key-door puzzles. Find a locked door, find another locked door, find a key, open locked door, find another key, open the other locked door, ect.And then there's the fact that it's either a "monster maze" game, where you're wandering around and a monster is too, and that monster can usually run faster than you, with no way of avoiding it once you see it. Or it's a "haunted house" game, where you wander around and there's literally nothing that can hurt you. The walls may bleed, and the corridors may change layout behind you, but nothing will actually hurt you. You may get to a point where you're being "chased" by a monster, but in that case you merely have to wander around slightly faster, otherwise you'll have to retry the scripted chase sequence.Throw in a few loud jumpscares, which by this point no one is startled by anymore, and there you go. Your very own "horror game".

Check out the following video to see how this amazing chair works:
As you just saw, this chair looks like a regular chair that you might take to a sporting event, picnic or the beach, but it has fans hidden in the back of the chair to keep you nice and cool. No more sticky back! And this chair is a "breeze" (pun intended) to set up. Just place 4 D batteries in the battery pack and turn it on. Bliss! The model I have even has an Eco-Adapter that allows me to run the chair off of a portable cellphone charger in case my batteries die. As you can see below, my son loves this chair!
The chair comes with a handy cup holder, and some models also feature a little bag on the side for a book or snacks. The seat is roomy, too, to fit most body sizes. The model I received is available from ACE Hardware for $49.99. It comes with a very handy carrying bag, too.

We live in a digitally dominated world, and consumers quite often make decisions about brands based solely on their digital presence before ever making direct contact with an actual brand representative. While business owners and marketing professionals alike are beginning to recognize just how important it is to get their digital houses in order, there are still many internet marketing myths to be dispelled.
Myth 1: My target market is older, therefore social media won't work. The average social media user is over the age of 40. Half of Baby Boomers are active social media users with 75 percent of those maintaining a Facebook page. In fact, the current fastest growing segment on Facebook is 55-64 year-old females.
Myth 2: My website should be designed for Google. While you certainly can't ignore the fact that billions of searches a day are conducted via Google, it doesn't make sense to design your entire website around what you speculate Google is looking for in its rankings. Google changes its confidential search algorithm far too often for you to rely on this strategy. If you do, while you may rank on the first page one day, you could easily be relegated to page 10 the next. Instead of spinning your wheels, focus on developing a content-rich site that clearly communicates your differentiators and offers real value to site visitors.
Myth 3: All traffic is good traffic. Internet marketing comes at a cost; both dollars and time must be allocated. Instead of trying to appeal to the masses, you'd be much better off targeting your online marketing to a concentrated niche of ideal prospects rather than the entire world. You will spend less and generate a more favorable response.
Myth 4: Email marketing is dead. According to Nielsen, email activity on mobile devices increased to 41 percent of total internet time in 2011, and smart phones make up more than a quarter of total mobile phones in the U.S. Email marketing isn't dead; it's just become portable, so ensure your email campaigns are mobile friendly.
Myth 5: If you build it, they will come. Why would you build a new restaurant and then not allocate funds to invite the market to dine with you? Likewise, investing in a website (or digital storefront) but forgoing the expense of a launch plan to promote your site is a costly misstep.
Myth 6: A mobile-friendly site isn't necessary for a small business. By 2014, mobile Internet usage will actually surpass desktop usage. If your site isn't designed to display properly on a smart phone or tablet, you are likely losing more customers than you care to imagine. Reduce content, limit the need to scroll, and ensure graphics display properly on mobile devices.

« Head Start Chief Reflects on a Tenure Marked by Major Changes | Main | PBS Math Supplement Boosts Math Skills For Young Children »
Only 42 Percent of Eligible Children Participate in Head Start
Despite funding increases for Head Start over the past six years, only 42 percent of eligible children are now served, and just 4 percent of those eligible are served by Early Head Start, a report by the New York-based National Center for Children in Poverty and the Washington-based Center for Law and Social Policy states.
Head Start offers children ages 3 and 4 education as well as health and social services; Early Head Start offers similar benefits to pregnant women, infants, and toddlers. Although money for the programs got a $1.2 billion funding boost from 2006 to 2012, 33 states did not meet benchmarks for either class size or adult-to-child ratios, says the Nov. 14 report entitled "Investing in Young Children: A Fact Sheet on Early Care and Education Participation, Access and Quality."
"Across the states, large numbers of low-income children who could get on a path to school success by attending a high-quality preschool program are denied this opportunity," said Sheila Smith, the director of the organization, in a statement. "If you are a toddler or a 4-year-old who never gets off a waiting list, you've lost your chance to benefit from preschool."
According to the report, only four states—Connecticut, North Dakota, Oregon, and Vermont—filled their classes.
Despite increases in funding, the barrier to participation is still money, said Sally Aman, a spokesman for the Alexandria, Va.-based non-profit National Head Start Association, which advocates for participation.
"Head Start programs have thousands of children across the country on their waiting lists that they would gladly serve," she said in an interview, adding that the "recession has deepened the need."
On the upside, 42 states and the District of Columbia now fund pre-K and/or supplement Head Start; 19 states have initiatives to expand Early Head Start, the report states.
That said, the report states that "these investments are too weak to benefit large numbers of young children experiencing the economic hardship and other circumstances that can pose serious risks to their health development and school success."

Walmart Fires the Kindle
Amazon says it has been selling a lot of Kindles and Kindle Fires, but it's not going to be selling any more with the help of the world's biggest retailer.
Walmart has stopped selling all of Amazon's hardware, a move it chalks up to its "merchandising strategy."
Reuters first reported the news. Here's the statement from Walmart PR (no comment from Amazon):
Recently, Walmart Stores, Inc. made a business decision to not carry current Amazon products beyond our purchase commitments and existing inventory.
Our customers trust us to provide a broad assortment of products at everyday low prices, and we approach every merchandising decision through this lens.
We will continue to offer our customers a broad assortment of tablets, eReaders and accessories at a variety of great price points. This decision is consistent with our overall merchandising strategy.
So what does that really mean?
Here are two potential theories, which aren't mutually exclusive:
This is about price: Walmart can't get the margins it wants from Amazon.
This is about more than price: Walmart sells a lot of books, music and video from its stores, and that may lead to a conflict with Amazon, which has made no bones about the fact that it views its hardware as retail outlets for everything else it sells, like books, music and video.
The only problem with both of those theories is that you could apply some or all of them to all of Walmart's other hardware suppliers. The retailer continues to sell tablets from Apple, Google and Barnes & Noble, all of which drive hard bargains themselves, and all of which compete with Walmart for media sales, too.

In announcing its $4.05 billion purchase of San Francisco-based Lucasfilm on Tuesday, Disney said it will release a seventh installment in the most popular science fiction saga of all time in 2015, "with more feature films expected to continue the Star Wars saga and grow the franchise well into the future."
"Our long term plan is to release a new Star Wars feature film every two to three years," Disney CEO and Chairman Robert Iger said in Tuesday's news release.
George Lucas, who created the franchise, will serve as a creative consultant on the new project, with his co-chairman of Lucasfilm, Kathleen Kennedy, running the show as executive producer. Kennedy will also take over the role of president of Lucasfilm, reporting to the chairman of Walt Disney Studios, and become the "brand manager" for the Star Wars franchise.
The movie series debuted in 1977 with "Star Wars," later retitled "Star Wars: A New Hope." The movie was a smashing success and was followed by two equally successful sequels, "The Empire Strikes Back" and "Return of the Jedi," in 1980 and 1983, respectively. In 1999, a new trilogy -- a prequel to the events in the original trilogy -- began appearing, with the three films being released every three years, ending in 2005. To date, the Star Wars movies have taken in $4.4 billion at the box office, Disney said Tuesday.
The new film would seem to be a sequel to the original trilogy, as it is being called "Star Wars Episode 7" by Disney.
Lucas' prequel trilogy -- "The Phantom Menace," "Attack of the Clones" and "Revenge of the Sith" -- were criticized heavily by the saga's fans, as were rereleases of the original three films, leading Lucas to say as recently as January that he would not make a third trilogy.
"Why would I make any more when everybody yells at you all the time and says what a terrible person you are?," Lucas told The New York Times Magazine for a January feature.
"I'm retiring. I'm moving away from the business, from the company, from all this kind of stuff," Lucas said in the same article, written in concert with the release of his most recent feature, "Red Tails."
"It's now time for me to pass Star Wars on to a new generation of filmmakers," Lucas said in Tuesday's news release.

Pig Virus Threatens to Bump Pork Cost
Disease Threatens to Create More Pain for Food Shoppers
CHICAGO—A virus that kills young pigs is roiling the U.S. pork industry, boosting prices in the $9 billion hog-futures market and threatening to create more pain for food shoppers.
The disease, which has spread to farms in 22 states, is cutting into pork supplies and prompting some traders and investors to wager that hog prices could set records this year. Lean-hog futures rose to a seven-week high a week ago and are up 6% since mid-December.

Customer Reviews
I was first put in contact with Spearhead Compliance Training when our previous provider had let us down the week before a 3 day First Aid at Work course was due to be held at our Coventry site. John Loveday was brilliant and was able to provide us with a trainer at such short notice and even had another trainer in reserve as he understood that we had already been let down once and that it was important for us that course did run as scheduled

PROGRAM GUIDELINESSolicitation 19-564
Important Information for Proposers
A revised version of the NSF Proposal & Award Policies & Procedures Guide (PAPPG) (NSF 20-1), is effective for proposals submitted, or due, on or after June 1, 2020. Please be advised that, depending on the specified due date, the guidelines contained in NSF 20-1 may apply to proposals submitted in response to this funding opportunity.
Communities in the United States (US) and around the world are entering a new era of transformation in which residents and their surrounding environments are increasingly connected through rapidly-changing intelligent technologies. This transformation offers great promise for improved wellbeing and prosperity but poses significant challenges at the complex intersection of technology and society. The goal of the NSF Smart and Connected Communities (S&CC) program solicitation is to accelerate the creation of the scientific and engineering foundations that will enable smart and connected communities to bring about new levels of economic opportunity and growth, safety and security, health and wellness, and overall quality of life.
For the purposes of this solicitation, communities are defined as having geographically-delineated boundaries—such as towns, cities, counties, neighborhoods, community districts, rural areas, and tribal regions—consisting of various populations, with the structure and ability to engage in meaningful ways with proposed research activities. A "smart and connected community" is, in turn, defined as a community that synergistically integrates intelligent technologies with the natural and built environments, including infrastructure, to improve the social, economic, and environmental well-being of those who live, work, or travel within it.
The S&CC program encourages researchers to work with communities and residents to identify and define challenges they are facing, enabling those challenges to motivate use-inspired research questions. The S&CC program supports integrative research that addresses fundamental technological and social science dimensions of smart and connected communities and pilots solutions together with communities. Importantly, the program is interested in projects that consider the sustainability of the research outcomes beyond the life of the project, including the scalability and transferability of the proposed solutions.
This S&CC solicitation will support research projects in the following categories:
- S&CC Integrative Research Grants (SCC-IRGs) Tracks 1 and 2. Awards in this category will support fundamental integrative research that addresses technological and social science dimensions of smart and connected communities and pilots solutions together with communities. Track 1 is for budgets greater than $1,500,000 with no recommended budget limit, and for up to four years of support. Track 2 is for budgets not to exceed $1,500,000, and for up to three years of support.
- S&CC Planning Grants (SCC-PGs). Awards in this category are for capacity building to prepare project teams to propose future well-developed SCC-IRG proposals. Each of these awards will provide support for a period of one year and may be requested at a level not to exceed $150,000 for the total budget.
S&CC is a cross-directorate program supported by NSF's Directorates for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE), Education and Human Resources (EHR), Engineering (ENG), and Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (SBE).

As a gamer dad, there's nothing better than when your child asks you to play a videogame. I remember when my son asked if I wanted to play Atari with him. It was the day after I hooked up an Atari 2600 and taught him to play Combat. It was short-lived. He likes games, but not as much as he likes trains. No matter how much I try to encourage him, he really doesn't get into them.
*Mike Mika, chief creative officer at Other Ocean Interactive, is a veteran designer who has worked on games from the Atari 2600 to the Xbox 360.*My daughter, however, jumps at the chance to play games with her old man. She's only 3, but she's always exhibited a keen interest in games. Recently, she took a fancy to Ron Gilbert's new puzzle adventure game The Cave. While she prefers not to play, she insists that I do and then she bosses me around in the game. She's confident enough, however, to play some of the older arcade games. She's not too shabby with Pac-Man; her favorite version is Pac-Man Arrangement.
But out of all of the older games, she most enjoys playing Donkey Kong. Maybe it was because it was the first game we really played together, or the fact that she watched the King of Kong documentary with me one afternoon from start to finish. Maybe it's because Mario looks just like her Grandpa. Whatever the case, we've been playing Donkey Kong together for a while. She's not very good at it, but insists on playing it over and over again until she finally hands me the joystick in total frustration.
Finally, one day after work, she asked to play Donkey Kong, only this time she raised a pretty innocent and simple question: "How can I play as the girl? I want to save Mario!"
It made sense. We had just played Super Mario Bros. 2 on the NES a few days before, and she became obsessed with playing as Princess Toadstool. So to go back to Donkey Kong, I can see how natural it seemed to ask the question. I explained to her that Donkey Kong, while similar, is not the same game. On this occasion, I really could tell that she was disappointed. She really liked Donkey Kong, and really liked playing as Princess Toadstool. We left it at that and moved on.
But that question! It kept nagging at me. Kids ask parents all the time for things that just aren't possible. But this time, this was different. I'm a game developer by day. I could do this. The next day I talked it through with my partner in crime, Kevin Wilson. We work together on professional projects as well as hobby efforts. We recently finished making a 2600 game with author Ernie Cline for a contest centered around his book Ready Player One. Wilson is very knowledgeable about the NES, which had a similar processor to the 2600. He pointed me in the direction of a couple of tools, one of which was Tile Layer Pro.
Mario is made up of four eight- by eight-pixel tiles. So each frame of animation is created with four tiles, each having three colors from the same palette. Two nights after my daughter's request, I was knee deep in the Donkey Kong ROM, trying to make sense of the graphics. If I was going to replace the sprites, I needed to go all in. I needed to reduce Pauline's height – she is three tiles tall to Mario's two, a throwback to when Donkey Kong was going to be a Popeye game. I managed to reduce her height by taking some liberty with her design. I kept the head and hair pretty much intact. But, without any sort of onion-skin animation tools, I was animating blind with only the Mario sprites as reference.
It was 12 a.m. when I started, and I was so in the zone that I had replaced most of the game's sprites by morning. When I woke up, I finished off the sprites, then swapped the palettes. Only when I played the game, the colors of other objects were all messed up. It appeared that the colors used by Mario were shared with ladders and the pop-up scores. So I found every instance of those sprites and replaced them with the Pauline "white" color.
Finally, I replaced the "M" next to the bonus indicator with a "P" for Pauline.
As I was working, I posted my progress to Facebook. It was definitely something I knew my friends would get a kick out of. Before I was even done with the mod, my friends were getting excited, which put me into overdrive. I couldn't really share the ROM, so I made a movie to kind of show off the changes for my friends. I basically copied my initial Facebook text to the description and just let it ride.
Oblivious to the kind of attention it started to get, I turned my attention to the reason behind all of this in the first place: My daughter. Just like clockwork, she woke up and sat on my lap asking to play Donkey Kong. Only this time, she could play as Pauline. She was excited! But for all she knew, I just figured out how to get Pauline to work. And that was fine. I wasn't expecting it to change her life. We played for a bit. And some more. And again later. You know what? She really did seem to enjoy the game more. For whatever reason, she was more motivated to play as Pauline than as Mario. I can't read into that too much, because it does feel a bit like a new game to her still. So we'll see how she does after a week with it.
Meanwhile, a couple of my friends decided to tweet about it and post some of the work-in-progress to Reddit. By the time I started to catch up with all my social feeds, something insane had happened. This little mod exploded. I didn't follow the whole Tropes vs. Women thing, but I saw a lot of references to it. In my wildest dreams, I just expected a bunch of fellow coders to chat about the merits of the mod. I never expected it to ignite a gender-role debate.
The comments under the YouTube video can, at times, be just as horrific as they are encouraging. While some of the things people have said about my daughter are almost comically inappropriate, they are still downright disturbing. One person wished her "dead" because "it would do the world a favor and be one less feminist in our future."
My kids are awesome. They are too young to understand any of the things people are saying. And after all, it's the internet. It comes with the territory. It got me thinking about Metroid. If the internet was more prevalent back when thousands of boys discovered that, all along, they were playing as a woman, maybe Nintendo would have gotten just as much hate mail?
Having kids is incredible. And having a daughter is something special. I get the opportunity to see the world through her eyes. And if this experience has taught me anything, it's that the world could be just a bit more accommodating. And that if something as innocuous as having Mario be saved by Pauline brings out the crazy, maybe we aren't as mature in our view of gender roles as we should be.
I didn't set out to push a feminist agenda, or try to make a statement. I just wanted to keep that little grin lit up on my daughter's face every time we sit down to play games together.

Let It All Bleed Out
Hunters May Have Found Missing Iowa Cousins
7:59 PM EST, Wed December 5, 2012
(CNN) -- An Iowa family that's been hoping for good news since two young cousins disappeared in July now has to prepare for the worst.
Hunters discovered two bodies in a wooded area Wednesday afternoon, Black Hawk County sheriff's Capt. Rick Abben said.
He said the family of Lyric Cook, 10, and her cousin Elizabeth Collins, 8, has been notified, although the bodies have not yet been positively identified. The bodies were being taken to the state medical examiner's office in Ankeny, Iowa.
"Right now, it's looking like the outcome was not the one that we wanted," Abben said at a news conference in Evansdale, Iowa.
The girls were last seen by their grandmother on July 13 when they left for a bike ride. The girls' bicycles and a purse were found near Meyers Lake hours after they were reported missing.
A search of the 25-acre lake in July turned up nothing, and authorities said they believed the cousins were abducted.
"Cooperation with law enforcement is the key factor in discovering the whereabouts of Lyric and Elizabeth," FBI spokeswoman Sandy Breault said in July. "Unfortunately, in this case, law enforcement has not received total cooperation from all family and close friends," she said.
Abben said the investigation is ongoing, and he thanked the public and the media for their assistance and support in the case.

Fayette is in the running for $600,000 in grant money for the sewer separation project after 288 valid survey forms were collected for an income study.
The village needed to show that at least half the residents fall into the low-to-moderate income range, said village administrator Steve Blue, and that number appears to be exceeded.
Blue had contact with Roberta Acosta of the Rural Community Assistance Program, the agency that's assisting the village in obtaining the grant.
The delay in obtaining enough surveys puts the bidding process for the sewer project on hold while the village waits for approval of the grant request.
Blue expects a delay of about a month before the project can move forward again. The village council needs to have a signed contract for the sewer project by the end of the year to avoid forfeiting a $4.8 million grant from the Ohio EPA.

We are all aware that in this economy it is hard to keep a positive attitude and even a sense of purpose about us.
According to Arthur C. Brooks, professor of public administration at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs and donor demographic researcher for almost 15 years,
nearly 225 million Americans give away money each year, the other 75 million never give to any causes, charities, or churches. Further, 130 million Americans never volunteer their time.
These numbers are staggering and beg the question to be asked, "why should I give?"

Duncan looking forward to 'opportunity' with Rays
PORT CHARLOTTE, Fla. -- Shelley Duncan is in camp after signing a Minor League deal with the team.
Duncan, who hits right-handed, batted .203 with 11 home runs and 31 RBIs in 81 games for Cleveland last season. He said the opportunity with Tampa Bay was his prime motivation for signing with the team.
"Opportunity, that's the most important thing," Duncan said. "... Good manager. Good team chemistry. Good quality guys in the clubhouse. I've always admired how they played."
Duncan, 32, played a distinct role in Rays history, as he is the player who slid with spikes high into Akinori Iwamura during a 2008 Spring Training game between the Rays and Yankees at Al Lang Stadium. The ensuing fracas has long been cited as a bonding moment for the 2008 American League champion Rays. Duncan didn't have much to say when asked if he could appreciate the irony of joining the Rays after that episode.
"I didn't know what anybody thought," Duncan said. "I went about my business."

Joshua Parden, July 06th , 2020.
A fresh lick of paint has the power to transform a room entirely. Choose a colour scheme and buy some paint for the walls. Try to stick to a neutral palette, carefully introducing some colour through accent pieces. Take the accent from elsewhere in the room, such as the curtains, avoiding colours that already dominate blue sofas and blue walls are not a good combination! For a budget update, use the decorators best friend new toss pillows in a shade to match for subtle colour coordination.
If your bedroom furniture is looking a little tired, a fresh coat of paint goes a long way towards creating a new look in any space. You can paint anything and everything, not just the walls. Reinvent a piece of furniture by changing the colour, or give a tired, dark brick fireplace a second life by painting it creamy white. Replacing doorknobs on a wardrobe or re-upholstering an old chair are also quick, easy projects that will transform your bedroom furniture. If you want a more dramatic update, work out a budget and identify any shabby old furniture which should be replaced. The starting point should be your bed. As this is the centrepiece of your bedroom, a new bed will make a dramatic difference.

I am currently trying to wade through the vast lake of higher category theory, a formidable task,or so it seems.
In the process, it has occurred to me that there is a basic analogy in place with various forms of type theories, typed logic, typed set theory, typed lambda calculus, etc.
In higher cats, one has 1-morphisms, 2-morphisms, and so on.
A fairly hierarchical structure, a ladder to infinity of sorts.
Now, whenever there are types, there is (almost) invariably an un-typed variant of the theory, which "forgets" the types. So I wonder if there is something along these lines already somewhere in the categorical endeavor.
I try to be a bit more precise: imagine you are staring at a N-category (let us stick to a strict one, just for sake of simplicity), from the top, and you forget all the type labels. You see a fairly complicated diagram of maps whose endpoints are other maps, and so on and so forth. Now try to axiomatize such a structure. That would be an untyped higher category (UHC).
Is there a reference for this structure? Now get rid of the strictness, and re-do the experiment. What kind of untyped higher categories are the result of stripping types from general higher cats?
In the example I mentioned, the UHC is well-founded, in the sense that there are some fellows (the ground objects) who only point to themselves (I identify here the objects with their identity maps). Now, eliminate this distinguished role of objects and you will have a not well founded UHC.
Is there a study of not-well-founded categories, in a similar spirit as there is a theory of not well-founded sets?
