Lin leads Rockets past Knicks
His old fans booed him. His old friend clobbered him.
Otherwise, it was Linsanity all over again at Madison Square Garden.
Jeremy Lin had 22 points and eight assists in his return to New York, leading the Houston Rockets to a 109-96 victory Monday night that ended the Knicks' 10-game home winning streak to open the season.
Cheered then jeered, and later floored by Tyson Chandler's flagrant foul, Lin added another masterpiece to the ones he put together last season during the height of his memorable run. No longer the fan favorite he was when wearing the home uniform, Lin got a mixed reception when he left the game with 2:25 remaining and the Rockets leading by 16.
''It was a lot of fun playing out there and I think our team, we took a step in the right direction,'' Lin said. ''And for me, it was great to be back and it was a lot of fun to play on that court again.''
James Harden had 28 points and 10 rebounds for the Rockets, who blew out the Knicks for the second time this season. They have won the last seven meetings, including a 131-103 rout in Houston on Nov. 23.
Rookie Chris Copeland scored a career-high 29 points for the Knicks, who played without leading scorer Carmelo Anthony and had their four-game winning streak snapped. They fell to 18-6, matching the record they finished last season with under Mike Woodson.
Woodson's team decided not to match Houston's contract offer to Lin, and nobody could argue when Raymond Felton, Jason Kidd and Pablo Prigioni led the Knicks to the best record in the Eastern Conference with a team that led the NBA in fewest turnovers.
But Lin was the best point guard on the floor, just as he so often was during his dazzling run last winter, when the NBA's first American-born player of Chinese or Taiwanese descent went from undrafted benchwarmer to the biggest story in basketball.
''He had a good game, without a doubt,'' Felton said. ''I never talked junk about Jeremy Lin. Anything I said about Jeremy, I felt like he deserved anything. He deserved everything he got. He had a good game. Plain and simple.''
Felton scored 14 points but shot 7 of 18. Kidd was 2 for 9, and both committed three turnovers.
The Rockets outscored the Knicks 54-29 over the middle two quarters, denying New York its first 11-0 start at home since the 1991-92 season.
The Knicks trailed by just five midway through the third quarter before the Rockets blew it open with a 15-0 run, with Lin either scoring or assisting on five of their six baskets.
His layup opened the run, and he then found Marcus Morris for a layup and a 3-pointer for a 67-55 Houston lead. Lin assisted on the second of Harden's consecutive 3-pointers, then had a steal and layup that gave Houston a 75-55 cushion.
Lin saw some fans wearing his old jersey, but said he didn't let his mind drift back to last season during the game.
''I've moved on, they've moved on,'' he said. ''We have good memories, but at the same time we're all in a different place now.''
Lin doubled his scoring average in what he called an up-and-down season so far.
''I hope this is the start of a nice run for him, because he works really hard,'' Rockets coach Kevin McHale said. ''He's a great kid. He deserves it.''
Anthony decided Monday to give his sprained left ankle a second straight game to recover. The Knicks did get good injury news when Amare Stoudemire, out all season after left knee surgery, was cleared to practice. He will work out with Erie, the Knicks' NBA Development League affiliate, when it works out at the Knicks' training facility on Tuesday.
The Rockets snapped a seven-game road losing streak, their longest since an eight-game skid in 2001-02.
A sellout crowd that included swimsuit model Kate Upton — who was on one fewer Sports Illustrated cover than Lin last February — gave the Harvard graduate a loud ovation during the introduction of starting lineups. The cheers quickly turned to jeers once the game started, particularly when he made a basket. There were boos when Chandler knocked him to the ground with a shot to the head that resulted in a flagrant foul.
Chandler felt it was a clean, hard foul that didn't warrant a flagrant. He and Lin hugged after the game.
''He had a good game,'' Chandler said. ''He had a good game the other night. He's a good player. He's going to have some nights, but I thought we could have took away a lot of his easy baskets, him and James Harden.''
J.R. Smith came off the bench to make all five shots and give the Knicks a 31-29 after one. The Rockets scored the first 10 of the second quarter, opening a 39-31 lead on Lin's 3-pointer with 9:26 left in the half. Houston scored the final six of the half, turning an eight-point lead into a 56-42 cushion.
NOTES: Stoudemire is working out with the D-League team because the Knicks are not expected to do much running at practice Tuesday. They haven't held a formal practice since Dec. 4. ''It seems strange but we have a stretch right now where we're playing every other day and it's hard to play a game and then think you can come in and drill these guys,'' Woodson said. ''I like to practice, that's where I feel like you learn a lot and stay sharp in terms of your defensive rotations, but I can't run them in practice and expect them to come back and play the next day and then practice again. There's just too many games coming at us right now.''

Gun ban would protect more than 2,200 firearms
WASHINGTON — Congress' latest crack at a new assault weapons ban would protect more than 2,200 specific firearms, including a semi-automatic rifle that is nearly identical to one of the guns used in the bloodiest shootout in FBI history.
One model of that firearm, the Ruger .223 caliber Mini-14, is on the proposed list to be banned, while a different model of the same gun is on a list of exempted firearms in legislation the Senate is considering. The gun that would be protected from the ban has fixed physical features and can't be folded to be more compact. Yet the two firearms are equally deadly.
"What a joke," said former FBI agent John Hanlon, who survived the 1986 shootout in Miami. He was shot in the head, hand, groin and hip with a Ruger Mini-14 that had a folding stock. Two FBI agents died and five others were wounded.
Hanlon recalled lying on the street as brass bullet casings showered on him. He thought the shooter had an automatic weapon.
Both models of the Ruger Mini-14 specified in the proposed bill can take detachable magazines that hold dozens of rounds of ammunition. "I can't imagine what the difference is," Hanlon said.
President Barack Obama has called for restoring a ban on military-style assault weapons and limiting the size of ammunition magazines.
A bill introduced last month by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif. would ban 157 specific firearms designed for military and law enforcement use and exempt others made for hunting purposes. It also would ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
Yet there are firearms that would be protected under Feinstein's proposal that can take large capacity magazines like the ones used in mass shootings that enable a gunman to fire dozens of rounds of ammunition without reloading.
Feinstein said in a written response to questions from The Associated Press that the list of more than 2,200 exempted firearms was designed to "make crystal clear" that the bill would not affect hunting and sporting weapons.
The December shooting at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn., that left 26 students and educators dead forced Washington to focus on curbing gun violence, a risky political move not tried in decades.
The gun industry, which is fighting any sort of ban, says gun ownership in the U.S. is the highest it's ever been, with more than 100 million firearms owners.
Obama and Vice President Joseph Biden have traveled around the country in an effort to gain support for new laws. Feinstein's proposal is the only sweeping piece of legislation designed to ban assault weapons currently being considered.
But some gun experts say the lists of banned and exempted firearms show a lack of understanding and expertise of guns.
"There's no logic to it," said Greg Danas, president of a Massachusetts-based expert witness business and firearms ballistic laboratory. "What kind of effect is it going to have?"
Feinstein's bill defines an assault weapon as a semi-automatic firearm with a detachable magazine that has one of several military characteristics that are specified in her legislation. Examples of those characteristics include a pistol grip, which makes a firearm easier to hold, and a forward grip, which makes the firearm easier to stabilize to improve accuracy. The definition is similar to the one in Congress' original ban on assault weapons, which went into effect in 1994 and was widely criticized for outlawing firearms based on cosmetic features.
Feinstein was behind the 1994 law which, at the time, protected more than 600 firearms. The current bill would exempt by name and model more than 2,200 firearms by name and model.
Feinstein said her staff had worked for more than a year to draft updates for the ban that expired in 2004, and it was apparent in the wake of recent mass shootings that now was the time to introduce a new bill. She said her staff consulted with law enforcement agencies and policy experts for months to create the expanded list.
Naming firearms that would remain legal under an assault weapons ban is a politically motivated gesture that was used to help pass the original ban in the early 1990s, people familiar with the process said.
Any firearm that does not fall within the law's definition of an assault weapon would not be banned. As a result, the list gives vulnerable politicians cover from constituents who do not want to give up their firearms.
For example, a politician can look at the list and assure a constituent that the government would not ban the firearm he or she loves to use for deer hunting. Under the 1994 law and the currently proposed one, the government would not have the authority to take away guns people already legally own. The ban would only apply to specific firearms manufactured and sold after the law is enacted.
A list of exempted firearms was not part of Feinstein's original assault weapons ban two decades ago, said Michael Lenett, one of the lead congressional staffers on gun control issues in 1994. A separate bill in circulation exempted far fewer hunting and sporting firearms, Lenett said.
The purpose of creating such a list was to assure people that the government was not going after any legitimate hunting or sporting weapons. "The other purpose of the list was to have a high profile way of assuring certain folks — including legislators — that we would not be going after their weapons that they use for those legitimate purposes," Lenett said.
"It was a win-win situation," Lenett recalled, because, he said, if the list could help pick up votes needed to pass the bill and temper some of the opposition, it could assuage some opponents of the ban without making the law less effective.
But gun experts say the lists in 1994 and the expanded lists of today don't make much sense.
"The bill demonstrates a shocking ignorance of the product they are purporting to regulate," said Lawrence Keane, senior vice president of the National Shooting Sports Foundation, a trade association based in Newtown, Conn., that represents gun manufacturers. "I have no idea how they arrived at this list. It would seem to be random, bordering on throwing darts at a dart board."
For instance, Feinstein's current proposal includes exemptions for three specific types of the M-1 Carbine, an assault rifle designed for the military that the U.S. currently bans from being imported. A draft of the legislation, created and modified in November and early December last year, banned the M-1 Carbine and didn't exempt any models, according to a copy obtained by the AP.
Feinstein said there was disagreement among firearms experts, law enforcement and gun safety organizations about whether to include the M-1 Carbine on the list of banned weapons.
"It has been used in multiple police shootings, and was originally used by U.S. soldiers on the battlefield," Feinstein said. "On the other hand, it comes in models that would not meet the military characteristics test." She said she decided to limit banned weapons to those that met the definition outlined in the bill.
At a Jan. 30 hearing by the Senate Judiciary Committee on gun violence, National Rifle Association President Wayne LaPierre said Feinstein's bill is "based on falsehoods to people that do not understand firearms, to convince them that the performance characteristics of guns that they are trying to ban through that bill are different than the performance characteristics that they're not trying to ban."
The Ruger Mini-14 is a perfect example.
The model that has a fixed stock would be exempted by Feinstein's ban; the weapon was protected in the 1994 law as well. A Ruger Mini-14 with a collapsible and folding stock would be illegal.
The guns fire the same caliber bullet and can take detachable magazines that could hold dozens of rounds of ammunition. The folding stock only reduces the gun's length by 2.75 inches, according to the manufacturer's website.
"It's irrelevant," Edmund Mireles, an FBI agent who survived the Miami shootout, said of the differences in features. "They're equally dangerous."
Mark D. Jones, a senior law enforcement adviser for the University of Chicago Crime Lab, said the folding stock does not affect the firearm's lethal potential.
"Given that both firearms will accept a 30 round or larger magazine, it renders the differences between them entirely cosmetic," Jones said.
Kristen Rand, the legislative director at the Washington-based Violence Policy Center, said the Ruger Mini-14 model that would be banned under Feinstein's legislation is easier to hold while firing because it has a pistol grip, and it's easier to hide because it has a collapsible stock. That's what makes it more dangerous that the Ruger Mini-14 with the fixed stock which would be exempted under the Feinstein bill, she said.
"And that's supposed to save somebody's life?" asked Hanlon, the FBI agent shot alongside Mireles.
Hanlon considered the differences between the two models and whether the events of April 11, 1986, would have been different if the shooter used a Ruger Mini-14 with a fixed stock. "I don't think it would have changed a damn thing," he said. "I don't see what makes that gun less dangerous."

You see hundreds or thousands of book covers — at least in your peripheral vision — every time you enter a bookstore or library, and they probably influence what you pick up and maybe buy or take to the checkout desk. But how much do you really know about why they work or don't work?
Last week I wrote about why Katha Pollitt's new essay collection, Learning to Drive, is a good book with a cover that doesn't serve it well (Oct. 16 and 17). Tomorrow I'll consider the cover of Elizabeth Matthews's picture book about Coco Chanel for ages 4 and up, Different Like Coco, which I reviewed on Oct. 21 www.oneminutebookreviews.wordpress.com/2007/10/21/ and also liked. This book is undoubtedly one that the judges for the 2008 Caldecott Medal will look at when they meet to select the winners in January, partly because there are so few good picture-book biographies for children under age 9 that the American Library Association www.ala.org rarely has a chance to honor them. What might the Caldecott committee say? Good cover or bad? Can you give three reasons why the cover works or doesn't? Check back tomorrow to see if your reasons agree with mine.

Patients & Families
For Health Professionals
If you ride a skateboard or play a sport, you probably know about bruises and banged-up knees and elbows.
But for people with a rare bleeding disorder called hemophilia (pronounced: hee-muh-FIL-ee-uh), what might seem like minor cuts and bruises can be a big deal.
Hemophilia is a disease that prevents blood from clotting properly, so a person who has it bleeds more than someone without hemophilia does. It's a genetic disorder, which means it's the result of a change in genes that was either passed from parent to child or happened as a baby was developing in the womb.
Hemophilia, which isn't very common, mostly affects guys. In rare cases, girls can have the disease and get bleeding problems similar to the ones boys have.
When most people get a cut, the body naturally protects itself. Sticky cells in the blood called platelets go to where the bleeding is and plug up the hole. This is the first step in the clotting process. When the platelets plug the hole, they release chemicals that attract more sticky platelets and also activate various proteins in the blood known as clotting factors. These proteins mix with the platelets to form fibers, and these fibers make the clot stronger and stop the bleeding.
Our bodies have 13 clotting factors that work together in this process (numbered using Roman numerals from I through XIII). Having too little of factors VIII (8) or IX (9) is what causes hemophilia. A person with hemophilia will only lack one factor, either factor VIII or factor IX, but not both.
There are two major kinds of hemophilia:
Hemophilia is classified as mild, moderate, or severe, based on the amount of the clotting factor in the person's blood. If someone produces only 1% or less of the affected factor, the case is called severe. Someone who produces 2% to 5% has a moderate case, and someone who produces 6% to 50% of the affected factor level is considered to have a mild case of hemophilia.
In general, a person with milder hemophilia may bleed excessively only once in a while, whereas severe hemophilia puts someone at risk for having bleeding problems much more often.
Most people with hemophilia discover they have the condition when they are babies or young kids. Sometimes the disease is so mild that a guy doesn't even know he has it until he has minor surgery — like getting his tonsils or appendix out — and it's found in blood tests that doctors perform before surgery.
Men and women each have 23 pairs of chromosomes. Women have two X chromosomes; men have one X and one Y chromosome. Hemophilia is an X-linked genetic disorder, which means that it's passed from mother to son on the X chromosome. If the mother carries the gene for hemophilia on one of her X chromosomes, each of her sons will have a 50% chance of having hemophilia.
Although girls rarely develop the symptoms of hemophilia itself, they can be carriers of the disease. In some cases, girls who are carriers can have mild bleeding symptoms. For a girl to get hemophilia, she would have to receive affected X chromosomes from both of her parents. Although this is not impossible, it is highly unlikely.
If you've just found out you have hemophilia, you probably have a milder form of the disease.
Symptoms of hemophilia include:
Doctors diagnose hemophilia by doing blood tests. Although the disease can't be cured (except by a liver transplant — which sometimes can cause health problems worse than hemophilia itself), it can be managed.
A cut or minor wound is usually no big deal for a person with hemophilia, just as it isn't for someone without the disease. However, internal bleeding can be serious. When bleeding occurs in the joints, muscles, or internal body organs, treatment is necessary.
Patients with more serious cases of hemophilia often get regular shots of the factor that they're missing — known as clotting factor replacement therapy — to prevent bleeding episodes. The clotting factors are transfused through an IV into a vein, and can be given in the hospital, at the doctor's office, or at home.
People with moderate or mild cases of hemophilia usually don't need these shots unless they have a serious injury or require surgery.
If you have hemophilia, you are probably used to working with a medical team of hematologists (doctors who specialize in blood disorders), nurses, physical therapists, social workers, and genetic counselors. Your medical team can help you learn to recognize how it feels when you bleed internally (the place where the bleeding is happening will probably feel warm and tingly or bubbly). This is important because when you begin to bleed internally, you need to infuse (replace) the missing clotting factor right away to make the bleeding stop. Not doing so can damage the joints.
If you will be injecting the clotting factors at home, your treatment team will probably teach you and your parents how to mix the clotting factor and inject it into a vein.
If you have bleeds fairly often, though, your doctor might consider having you infuse clotting factor regularly to prevent bleeds from happening in the first place. If that's the case, you might get a small tube called a portacath, or port, implanted in your chest. That way, you never have to worry about finding a vein and there's no pain when the infusion is done.
Scientists are working on something called gene therapy for people with hemophilia. Gene therapy is an experimental technique that tries to provide the body with the genetic information it doesn't have. Hemophilia is considered a good test for gene therapy because it is caused by only one defective gene. Scientists hope that they will be able to provide people with hemophilia with the genetic information they need to produce their own missing clotting factors.
If you have hemophilia, your day-to-day life is probably pretty normal. Exercise is important for teens with hemophilia because it makes muscles stronger, which protects the joints and decreases bleeds. Swimming and cycling are great because they don't put pressure on the joints.
In fact, you can participate in many sports, although team sports, such as soccer, basketball, or baseball, present a higher risk and all contact sports (like football, boxing, lacrosse, and hockey) are off-limits because there's a high risk of injury. Ask your doctor about the best sports for you.
It's also important to maintain a healthy weight because extra pounds can strain the body. And don't take any product that contains aspirin, ibuprofen, or naproxen sodium. All of these can keep blood from clotting.
If you have hemophilia and want to hang out with other people who have the disease, think about going to a camp for teens with hemophilia. You do all the fun stuff they have at any camp, but you also learn how to take the very best control of your condition.
At times you might feel really overwhelmed. Try to remember that you're not alone. Talk to your mom or dad, your doctor, a nurse, or anyone on your treatment team. They can help you deal with the emotional aspects of having hemophilia.
Having hemophilia doesn't mean you can't work out, go on dates, or do most of the things that guys like to do. You just have to be smart about your condition. Learn everything you can so you can take care of yourself and make choices that are right for you.

Does Nord Vpn Help Popcorn Time To Not Get Problems
NordVPN is the best VPN provider for Linux. Its dedicated server software is compatible with various Linux distributions, and their support staff is knowledgeable and helpful. You can install the servers on Debian, Fedora, openSUSE, QubesOS, and RHEL. However, you must know how to use the terminal to manage them. You will need to use the command-line as there are no Windows-based servers.
Another feature of NordVPN that you should know about is their privacy policies. NordVPN is based in Panama, a country that does not belong to the 5/9/14 Eyes Alliance, which includes countries with intrusive data retention policies. They are not permitted to share your information with government agencies and their policy doesn't allow them access to your private information. NordVPN posts a warrant canary every day on its website. This ensures that you are always assured that they won't share your information with any third parties.
NordVPN is the best VPN provider when it comes to encryption. This VPN uses AES256-CBC encryption to protect your data. This protocol also supports Perfect Forward Secrecy, preventing any security compromises. NordVPN also uses optimized servers that can bypass geoblocks when streaming on streaming platforms. NordVPN's security is excellent with AES256-bit encryption, strict no-logs policy and AES256-bit encryption.
The installation process is simple despite NordVPN's security. Download links for the client software are available on the NordVPN website, and you can follow the tutorials for supported operating systems. If you're a Windows user, the client for NordVPN is a lightweight and elegant application that lets you select servers by country and connection type with a few clicks. You'll then see a map of the world with dots in the various countries. To choose the server location, click on the three dots next to the desired country or region. After choosing a server, the client will connect to the VPN.
NordVPN's privacy and security policies also meet the most stringent privacy standards. Its strict no-logs policy means that NordVPN does not store any connection information. The only personal information collected by NordVPN is your email address and payment method. These information are handled by a third party. The company will never log your browsing history or other information without your permission. This policy is important to users of NordVPN.
NordVPN can be paid for a year or a lifetime membership in many ways. NordVPN accepts credit cards, PayPal and AmazonPay. UnionPay and bitcoin are also accepted. Alternatively, you can pay with cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin, Ripple, and Monero. To use NordVPN on your own, you can also pay through the NordVPN website. NordVPN is available at Best Buy and Target.
NordVPN offers a worldwide network of 5200 servers. Those servers are located in 60 different countries. The majority of its servers are in North America and Europe. NordVPN covers the United States, Brazil and Argentina, as well as Europe, Canada, Europe and the Netherlands. The European region is represented by Denmark, Latvia, and North Macedonia. NordVPN is able to reach customers around the globe. But if you are unable to access any of these countries, NordVPN also has servers in the United Kingdom.
NordVPN's app for Mac is also available on Apple TV, Android TV and Google TV. Both apps have similar features and are easy-to-download. One of the biggest drawbacks of the Mac version is that the interface is similar to the iOS app. However, if you prefer an app version, you can sideload it to the device. Afterwards, the Mac OS application will automatically install on your device. Its website won't be updated for security updates.
When it comes to security, NordVPN uses an SHA-512 hash function to scramble your credentials. This hash function converts your credentials into binary digits and compares them with cryptographic hashes stored at NordVPN servers. SHA512 is a more secure haveh function than SHA256. Hackers are unable to crack the hash function.

DaveMc asks:
What are some ways that the gaming community might make game piracy seem uncool? As you've often said, Shamus, it's a social problem more than a technological one (or at least, all attempts at technological *solutions* are worse than useless). […]
I'm inclined to think that things like Tycho's off-hand dismissal of pirates' self-justifications here are potentially quite powerful:
"For my part, I'm aware that people copy games â€" I was twelve once, after all â€" but the extent to which piracy is accepted as a valid ethos is absurd. It's considered the appropriate response to so many scenarios that the notion of it as an outgrowth of any coherent ethical framework is hilarious. It's so, so rad when people tart up their nihilism."
That seems like a shot in a culture war where one side asserts that there's something uncool about pretending to be not paying for games out of some sort of principled stand. But what else can be done? […]
The short version, this:
Link (YouTube)
That's the end credits to System Shock 2, showing the team as a series of corpses. (Which is an ongoing theme in the game. By the end, the game mechanics will have cultivated an irresistible compulsion to investigate the bodies you encounter.) I watch this and walk away with the impression that these people busted their butts to bring me this game, and that they took great pride in their work.
This sort of thing used to be pretty common. Games would have credits or hidden screens that would show us the game designers. It reminds us that the game is the product of hardworking human beings with lives of their own. In the 90's there was a certain intimacy that developers had with their fanbase. Yes, some of that was due to the smaller audience. But some of it was simply because they could. If you stole the game (or pirated, what whatever nomenclature works for you) then there was a decent chance you'd end up seeing the face of someone who worked very hard to create the game you didn't pay for.

Now games are known primarily by publisher. (A few studios are exceptions to this. Bethesda. BioWare. Blizzard. Possibly even other studios that don't start with B.) If you listen to pirate rhetoric you'll hear a common theme of plucky users trying to outmaneuver the huge evil faceless corporate juggernaut. I've never heard a pirate brag about stealing from Ken Levine, Sid Meier, Will Wright, Peter Molyneux, American McGee, John Carmack, or Tim Cain. They brag about taking on Activision, 2kGames, Electronic Arts, and Ubisoft. Those names are a negative currency, particularly among those of us who pay for games. The enemy of my enemy stole from my enemy? This is not a crime which engenders outrage. There's no stigma, because it's viewed as a crime against a villain.
The relationship that enriches the hobby is the one between gamers who buy games and the developers who make them. This is a conduit of love, or at least of mutual appreciation. But the entire conflict is framed as a battle between pirates and the publishers. And nobody likes either of those guys.
I'm not suggesting that putting the pictures of the game designers in the end credits will be this panacea. I'm saying the thinking and attitude that prevents those pictures from showing up is the antithesis of the sort of environment that publishers should be cultivating. Just like beer companies want to pretend that their product is make by wise old blue-collar men on a small scale, in an environment that contains a lot of wood and warm lighting, possibly near a field of hops. They certainly don't want you thinking about how the stuff is pumped out of a rumbling industrial plant that looks like a Quake 2 level. Publishers should be hiding behind the developers, not the other way around.
You will never stop piracy, but it is possible to stigmatize it to some degree. I can't prove that this would reduce piracy, but I'd at least give this idea a try before I licensed another version of SecuROM. Even if it didn't impact piracy, I think it would be a healthy move for the industry in general.

The Opportunity Crunch
No, brutal, soul-sucking, marriage-destroying crunch mode in game development isn't a privilege or an opportunity. It's idiocy.

I'm a very casual fan of the series, but I gave Civilization VI a look to see what was up with this nuclear war simulator.

Getting , please wait.
|A team of scientists at a remote Antarctic outpost discover a buried spaceship with an unwelcome alien survivor still alive. Bombastic special effects overwhelm the suspense and the solid cast. Less a remake of the 1951 science fiction classic than a more faithful version of John Campbell's short story "Who Goes There?," since the seeds/spores take on human shapes.

Today in the news: Pope to step down
News to know
Pope Benedict XVI announced this morning that he will resign at the end of the month, making him the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign, CNN reports. Benedict said he is stepping down "because of advanced age."
Successors are already being discussed, though the pope's resignation will not take effect until Feb. 28. Cardinals will meet to select the next pope after this date. Because papal resignation is so rare, the pope's title after he steps down is also being discussed. "Bishop emeritus of Rome" is one of the possibilities.
Quote of note
"Strength of mind and body are necessary, strength which in the last few months has deteriorated in me to the extent that I have had to recognize my incapacity to adequately fulfill the ministry entrusted to me." - Pope Benedict XVI, announcing his intent to step down as pope.

Gabe Kaplan
Personality Profile
Who is Gabe Kaplan? He is a male celebrity. He was born on Saturday March 31st 1945, in Brooklyn, New York, USA,.
Gabe Kaplan is gifted with natural leadership and the capacity to accumulate great wealth. He has great talent for management in all walks of life, especially in business and financial matters, where he contributes the greater vision, purpose, and long-range goals. He understands the material world, and intuitively knows what makes virtually any enterprise work. Business, finance, real estate, law, science (particularly history, archeology, and physics), publishing, and the management of large institutions are among the vocational fields that suit Gabe best. He is naturally attracted to positions of influence and leadership, and politics, social work, and teaching are among the many other areas where his abilities can shine.
He possesses the ability to inspire people to join him in his quest, even when they are incapable of seeing what he sees. Therefore, those around Gabe Kaplan need his continual guidance, inspiration, and encouragement. Kaplan is a good judge of character, which serves him well in attracting the right people that he can prod them then into action and direct them along the lines of his vision.
Gabe's challenge in life is to understand that power and influence must be used for the benefit of mankind, and only for his personal gain. Otherwise, Gabe Kaplan is bound to suffer the consequences of greed and run the risk of losing it all. He must also learn to bounce back from failures and defeats. As with many greate visionaries, Kaplan can be reckless for lack of attention to details. Thus, it is not unlikely for such personality to experience major reverses, including bankruptcies and financial failure. Gabe Kaplan, however, has the talent and the sheer guts to make more than one fortune, and build many successful enterprises.
Kaplan is likely to mold a large family around him, and he is inclined sometimes to keep them dependent longer than necessary. However, Gabe Kaplan is not demonstrative in showing his love and affection. Also, Gabe must be careful of becoming stubborn, intolerant, overbearing, and impatient. These characteristics may have been born early in his life, after suffering himself under a tyrannical parent or a family burdened by repressive religious or intellectual dogmas. More...
More flavors to Gabe's personality
Entrepreneurial and progressive, Gabe Kaplan is ever-striving, heading for the top, and enjoying an enterprising, ambitious and determined personality to do things well, and an unyielding dedication to his plan until the goals are achieved.
He bounces back easily from setbacks and can overcome any adversities or obstacles thrown in his way.
There is danger, however that his trait of determination and dedication will shift to stubbornness, making Gabe cling to ideas and projects well past their fruitious season. It is a good idea for him to keep fresh pipeline of ideas to make it easier to replace outdated plans by new and better ones.
Tour Gabe's menu and gain more insight into his personality traits, relationships, strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes, compatibility with you and with others, and much more.
We invite you to create your own free personality profile, in private and for your eyes only!.
February 7th 2023 brings unexpected events upon Gabe Kaplan. Gabe must trust his intuition and meet this day's events decisively. Yet, he should maintain some flexibility and sociability.
Travel is favored for Kaplan, who may also meet someone interesting today.

Two fans' conditions upgraded from critical
- Halifax Health spokesman Byron Cogdell%3A 12 people brought in%2C seven from crash
- Two of the seven were in critical condition%2C including one child%3B conditions upgraded Sunday
- A 12-car crash on the final lap coming into the trioval sent an engine into the catchfence
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. -- Two fans previously listed in critical condition, including one child, have been upgraded Sunday morning after a horrific crash on the final lap of the Nationwide Series race at Daytona International Speedway on Saturday.
Twenty-eight people suffered some sort of injury. Fourteen were treated at the track, and the others were taken to hospitals.
Halifax Health spokesman Byron Cogdell said 12 people were brought in there, seven for treatment from the crash and five for heat exhaustion and other issues.
Two of the seven had been in critical condition, including one with life-threatening injuries because of head trauma. But Codgell said Sunday morning that the patients were no longer listed in critical condition.
Daytona Beach Police public information officer Jimmie Flynt said another six people were transported to Halifax Urgent Care in Port Orange for minor injuries, and one additional person was transported to Florida Memorial for minor injuries.
NASCAR senior vice president of racing information Steve O'Donnell and Daytona International Speedway President Joie Chitwood made a statement at 7 p.m. ET Saturday that read in part:
Following the incident, we responded appropriately according to our safety protocols and had emergency medical personnel at the incident immediately.
We transported 14 people off property and 14 were treated at our on-track care center.
A 12-car crash on the final lap coming into the trioval sent an engine into the catchfence, where it burned, and a tire over the fence and into the stands, along with a slew of debris.
Terry Huckaby's brother was one of those taken to Halifax Health. He said his brother Eddie Huckaby, 53, of Krum, Texas "had a pretty massive cut on his leg."
Eddie Huckaby was hit with a piece of metal about 3 feet long and 18 inches wide. He had surgery at Halifax Health and was expected to be hospitalized for at least 48 hours.
"He's kind of upset because he's going to miss the (Daytona 500) race," Terry said.
The brothers were sitting in the 11th row in the grandstands.
"When the car hit, debris went everywhere. Tires flying over our heads. It was like a war zone," Terry said.
"There was a wheel with a brake drum on it flying overhead and debris everywhere and smoke and people crying. It was kind of scary.
"We're really lucky. That could have been worse than it was.
"It was pretty chaotic."
He said his brother's leg was bleeding badly, but Terry used his belt to wrap as a tourniquet.
"I'm just thankful to God my 6-year-old granddaughter didn't come today, because she said, 'Paw-paw, it's too hot.' "
The brothers had planned to attend the entire Speedweeks. But Terry said out of respect to his brother he'll probably just watch the race at the hospital.
"I'd feel kind of guilty going over there (the track)."
