In Detail
Frontend web applications are soaring in popularity and the Backbone.js library is leading this charge with a modular, lightweight approach for organizing JavaScript web applications. At the same time, testing client-side JavaScript and Backbone.js programs remains a difficult and tedious undertaking.
Backbone.js Testing brings sensible practices and current techniques to the challenges of Backbone.js test development. The book introduces fundamental testing concepts, comprehensive test infrastructure design, and practical exercises to easily and systematically test modern JavaScript web applications.
The book progresses from Mocha test suites and Chai assertions to advanced test mocks and stubs with Sinon.JS. The requisite libraries and utilities are introduced with in-depth examples and best practices for integration with your applications. The book guides you through the test planning and implementation processes for your application models, views, routers, and other Backbone.js components.
Backbone.js Testing gives you the tools, examples, and assistance to test your Backbone.js web applications thoroughly, quickly, and with confidence.
This book is packed with step-by-step tutorials and instructions in recipe format to help you create test infrastructures and gradually advance your Backbone.js application development and testing skills.
Who this book is for
If you are a JavaScript developer looking to create and implement test support for your Backbone.js applications, then this book is ideal for you.

Electronic cigarettes are gaining popularity and catching the attention of smokers, but just because they're not real doesn't mean they're not harmful.
An e-cigarette gives smokers an alternative to traditional tobacco cigarettes.
They take out all the harmful chemicals but it still contains the addictive part of cigarettes.
When it comes to cost the e-cigarette is less expensive and a five pack of cartridges has as much nicotine as ten regular packs.
The "e-cigs" do let off a vapor but it's not harmful and there's no worry of second hand smoke.

Danny DeVito reportedly cheated on wife Rhea Perlman with a movie extra, promising to make a star out of the young woman. This likely contributed in some small way to the couple's split after 30 years of marriage, even though this happened at least a decade ago. It does shed light on the life the couple led.
According to a report from RadarOnline, a former film crew member recalls DeVito romancing a young blonde woman—an extra on the set of Hoffa.
"It was kind of pathetic because she was very young and beautiful and obviously just having sex with him in hopes that he'd make her a star," the source says. "Danny would have his limo driver drive them all over the city and they'd canoodle in the back before going back to his room together."
The source says she felt bad for Rhea Perlman as did everyone else on the set. It's uncertain whether she knew about the affair.
"Danny can be quite the flirt and because of his powerful status in Hollywood, he's not ashamed to abuse his position and chat up young, aspiring women looking to make it in the industry," another source says.
No offense to Danny DeVito, but he's not exactly a looker. If a young, pretty blonde had an affair with him, it was no doubt to further her career, which shows he was a con-man as well as a player.
Do you think Rhea Perlman knew about such dalliances? In cases like this one, there usually are more than one incident in a person's cheating past.
Might this particular instance—over a decade ago—helped lead the two to the point of dissolving their marriage?

Why Choose a Catholic College? Most students go to college eager to learn--especially to prepare for a career--and to make some good friends along the way. Surely these are good things, but a Catholic education offers that and so much more. A Catholic education is... preparation for the rest of your life. By Archbishop William E. Lori
The Catholic University of America is on the move across the spectrum. Most importantly, the "bishops' university" has confidently embraced a well-rounded Catholic approach to higher education. Quick Facts: 3,694 students; located in Washington, D.C.; 73 majors; 80% Catholic students; median 3.5 high school GPA.
My Future, My Faith is a full-color magazine, also published online, featuring more than a dozen articles designed to help parents and students navigate the transition from high school to college. Topics include tips for getting into a good college, how to write an exceptional application essay, paying for college, and more!
Exciting High School Summer Programs at Faithful Catholic Colleges. Many of the Catholic colleges recommended in The Newman Guide are hosting summer programs for high school students in 2014. From studying Shakespeare in Italy to kayaking in Wyoming, a wide array of opportunities are available for high school students.
Catholic Education Instrumental in Life of Service, Says Colorado Catholic Charities CEO. Mark Rohlena said his years studying at Christendom College were a "time of falling in love with the Faith and starting a relationship with God at a different level." Rohlena serves as the CEO for Catholic Charities of Central Colorado.

Millions of Americans saw a great example of women who rock at this year's Super Bowl, thanks to Beyonce's halftime show. Now you can see other examples of women who rock at the Durham Museum in Omaha.
Shawna Forsberg joined us on the Channel 6 News at Midday Monday to talk about the new exhibit "Women Who Rock" which opens Saturday, February 9.

Forsberg said the exhibit features women since the 1920's who have had their own way of affecting the country.
Women Who Rock will run through May 5 at the museum.

Adult film star Marilyn Chambers (left) poses with Tracy Hutson, the actress who portrays her in the Showtime film "Rated X," at a screening of the film in Beverly Hills on April 27, 2000.
Famed adult film star Marilyn Chambers was found dead in her home in the Canyon Country area, authorities said Monday, and an autopsy was pending to determine how she died.
The 56-year-old Chambers, whose real name was Marilyn Ann Taylor, was found dead around 9 p.m. Sunday in the 16000 block of Vasquez Canyon Road, said Assistant Chief Ed Winter of the coroner's office.
"She probably died of natural causes," Winter said.
Winter said an autopsy would be done Tuesday or Wednesday.
Chambers broke into the porn industry by appearing in the 1972 film "Behind the Green Door," which was the first widely released pornographic film in the United States.
Her appearance in the film cost the then-aspiring model and actress her job as Procter & Gamble's Ivory Snow detergent girl, appearing on the soapbox with a baby and the caption "99 & 44/100% pure."
The Providence, R.I., native had a bit part in the 1970 Barbra Streisand film "The Owl and the Pussycat," but after establishing herself as a pornographic film star, she was never able to break into mainstream films.

German Minier is one of the young men down participating in the Florida Instructional League. As a 16-year old signed to an international contract this summer, he was ineligible to participate in the DSL, so seeing his inclusion in the instructional league certainly speaks to the Twins' expectations for him. As someone without an at-bat in even the DSL, definitely deserves to be on a top 10 "under the radar" list!

I'm impressed with the youth and talent potential from the Elizabethton Twins squad. The Twins should keep these core kids together through 2015 - like the Brewers did with Fielder - Hart and Weeks in their system. They would be joining a young and up and coming young group with Sano - Rosario & Hicks. Then bring in the next Ryan Braun (Buxton) type a year later at 22. The Twins could be very special from 2015 - until. Very Special. By that time, the rotation of Berrios - Ty Jones - Baxendale - Zach Jones - Appel - and slew of high velocity relievers will hold the pitching part down. We will become what the Rays are now, but with better ofensive players.

I hear names like Baxendale, Kepler and Buxton...those guys are not "under the radar" guys. Under the Radar Guys are Cole Johnson, Brett Lee, Leackman and Danny Ortiz. Johnson was a Friday night starter at Notre Dame. Lee has a fastball of big league quality and he can place it where he wants to. Little Danny O is a baller. Kid can hit. They say Leachman is the smartest baseball player in the organization but just needs time to phisically mature. Look at Johnson's strike out to inn pitched ratio. Kid can pitch and win. If the old farts give h a shot, he will make it up here to see us in the Twin Cities. Also like Kenny's Vargas and Lance Ray.

WASHINGTON — After months of delays, U.S. lawmakers finally passed a trade bill with Russia. And perhaps no one was as deeply moved as investor William Browder.
His emotions had nothing to do with the commercial implications of the legislation, which normalizes trade relations with Russia and should give a boost to big American exporters such as Caterpillar Inc. and Deere & Co.

The hunt is on Iowa for wild morel mushrooms, and the state is now making it easier for restaurants and grocery stores to sell the hot commodity.
Iowa adopted strict federal standards in 2008 that forbids morels from being sold unless they're inspected by a federally certified morel expert.
Since Iowa is extremely short of those experts, restaurants and groceries haven't been able to find stocks of morels.
The Iowa Department of Inspections and Appeals has now created a three-hour program to certify those inspectors.
Iowa State University professor Mark Gleason says people don't want to risk ingesting the wrong kind of mushroom. He says mistakes have been made, and people have ended up in the emergency room.

Frantic students crash ATAR calculators
The Managing Director of an HSC tuition company with an online ATAR calculator says his website has been unable to cope with the demand from students on HSC results day.PT1M14S http://www.smh.com.au/action/externalEmbeddedPlayer?id=d-2zkf8 620 349 December 18, 2013
- Autoplay OnOff
- Video feedback
- Video settings
- HSC results: state's top achievers
- HSC results: students affected by bushfires prevail
- HSC results: Holroyd High punches above its weight
Thousands of HSC students, desperate to find out if they will get into university, have caused the top ATAR calculator websites to crash.
The state's school leavers received their subject results from 6am on Wednesday but have to wait until 9am on Thursday to get their Australian Tertiary Admissions Rank (ATAR).
The ATAR is the most significant result for many, as it determines whether they will gain entry to their chosen university course.
Online ATAR calculators estimate what that rank could be, based on the method used last year.
But, while students are warned the calculators are not accurate, thousands could not resist the temptation.
All the ATAR calculator websites showing up highest on a Google search were displaying error messages at different times throughout the morning.
Talent 100, which has one of the most popular calculators, says more than 10,000 students accessed its website between 7am and 10.30am.
"Everyone just wants to know their ATAR results one day earlier," the managing director, Eric Yu, said.
"Generally the ATAR calculator is reasonably accurate. Obviously it isn't exact but in terms of getting a general idea it is very accurate."
The Dux College ATAR calculator website crashed at 6.56am and was down for about two hours.
Hong Li from the company said as many as 6000 students were trying to access the tool when it crashed.
Scores of students expressed their frustrations and amusement on social media throughout the morning.

, one of San Ramon's few remaining upscale restaurants, closes this Saturday in the Marketplace shopping center.
Buffalo Wild Wings, a national chain eatery, plans to open in that space later this year. (You can see the restaurant's logo and name listed in the Marketplace shopping center's brochure accompanying this story.)
Izzy's opened its San Ramon restaurant in 2007 and was the small Bay Area steak house chain's newest and largest location. For the most part, diners seemed to enjoy Izzy's, giving it fairly good ratings on Yelp.
An Izzy's manager and spokesperson said the restaurant chose to close because it could not secure a lease that lasted more than a year at the Marketplace. Izzy's may open another location nearby if its owners can find a suitable long-term lease. The Marketplace leasing manager did not return calls for comment.
Izzy's is thanking its customers and the community with a special evening of live music along with its regular dinner service on its last day, June 30. Online reservations have been disabled for San Ramon's Izzy's, but you can reserve your spot by calling 925-830-8620.
The new tenant, Buffalo Wild Wings, is a casual eatery and sports bar franchise specializing in Buffalo-style chicken wings. The fast-growing Minneapolis-based chain also runs a restaurant . Calls to corporate headquarters were not returned. To learn more about Buffalo Wild Wings, visit buffalowildwings.com.

The last time we left off in our assessment of Final Fantasy XIV's patch 2.3, I had experienced most of the tertiary level content, ready to face off against the big boss Ramuh himself in his true form, alongside of playing more Frontlines PVP and of course, more hunting.
Over the past week and a half I've tried just about everything there is to try, and I found that overall, it's getting people to do a diverse array of content -- as opposed to 2.2 which generally funneled people into a few venues. It's not the most balanced patch, but it adds a ton of stuff to do other than grind out end-game tokens, and I'm sure that makes a lot of former subscribers happy.view full story + comments
A chasm in stealth games tends to be player skill and the supposed skills of super sleuth avatars. You're often eased into the situation, your lack of skill assumed, or you just fumble your way through -- especially with the recent trend of stealth-optional games -- feeling like Mr. Magoo. Or you're good at stealth games. It's one of the reason's they can hold up to replays. Coming back with mechanical knowledge and slinking through areas like the pro you're meant to be is exhilarating.
Invisible, Inc. is meant to be replayed, but that familiarity and advance knowledge is not where you get your sense of empowerment, as everything is procedurally generated and, thus, different each time.
Klei's founder Jamie Cheng sat down with me and showed me how "active stealth, by moving and doing rather than waiting," is a great fit for a turn-based system.view full story + comments
Koei Tecmo unveiled the next entry in the Fatal Frame series, Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko, today during a NicoNico Live event.
The Wii U horror title, which Siliconera translates as Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden, will be summoned to Japan starting September 27, 2014.
Zero: Nuregarasu no Miko is set against the backdrop of a cursed lakeside manor in the mountains, where themes of water and hydrophobia will feature prominently.
The Wii U GamePad also figures to be a core part of the experience. Koei Tecmo asserts the title will make use of the controller's unique qualities to mimic the trademark Camera Obscura, allowing players to spot things that might otherwise go unseen by the naked eye.

And just like that, another EVO has come and gone. What a weekend.
Despite not playing fighting games much myself, I'll never miss watching the year's big tournament. The audience's energy, the drama that unfolds on stage -- it never ceases to amaze.
If you missed out on the grand finals for Ultimate Marvel vs. Capcom 3, Super Smash Bros. Melee, Ultra Street Fighter IV, or any of the other featured games, look no further.

Today, Nintendo was set to tease a "New Fighter Intro Video" at 7AM PST, and tease they did. The new fighter was revealed to be none other than Lucina from Fire Emblem: Awakening. But wait, there's more! Robin from Fire Emblem is also in, and he has a female gender swapped costume! Chrom was revealed as well, but it isn't clear if he is a playable character or just a skin/assist trophy/Final Smash, but all signs point to the latter.
Finally, Captain Falcon was revealed as a returning fighter. That's three confirmed characters with two new additions and one returning character (we'll see what Chrom is soon enough). Sakurai noted last week that they were "nearing the bottom of the stash" in terms of new announcements, so I wouldn't expect a whole lot more.view full story + comments

[Update: Some of you are pretty upset about the article! Sorry about that.
Also, a few people pointed out a couple of mistakes I made. First, I wrote that you can block in the air in Smash Bros. Looks like I "tripped" up! I meant to say "dodge." Sometimes when you type too fast, you put down the wrong word, and it may not get caught in the proofread. My apologies.
Also, there is some dispute over if "L-canceling" is an "unintended abuse" of the game's system, or something intended by the developers. My guess is that it's both -- that "L-canceling" was intended by the developers, but players learned to exploit it to a degree that Sakurai and the gang didn't intend, which could be why it was removed from Brawl entirely. It's hard to say for sure though, as Sakurai hasn't made any comment on the subject that I know of. Either way, you should know that "L-canceling" may be an intended mechanic in Melee and Smash Bros on the N64. Hope that helps, and if you find any other mistakes, you can let me know on twitter- @tronknotts. Thanks everybody!]
[Update 2: I asked Michael "Mr Bean" Molinary to write a counterpoint to my point and it's really good.]
There's a Smash Bros. tournament going on tonight at a local comic book store. The creator of Catlateral Damage and I were planning on attending, but they changed the game from Brawl to Melee at the last minute. We both backed out, resigned to the reality of the situation, but still disappointed. It's totally understandable that the majority of competitive Smash players prefer the increased level of fast and precise character control that Melee offers over Brawl, but as diehard Lucas, Olimar, and Squirtle fans, Melee isn't worth the $15 entry fee.
I figured I'd get over it by watching some Melee at EVO, and I quickly found myself feeling frowny. It seems like the longer the game is played, the less high level competitors try new things. Most of the matches were just a high-speed poke and fake contest. The only times things got really interesting was when a character is in the clutch, trying to recover from being knocked off the edge, but those mechanics are just as fun to watch in Brawl or even the original N64 Smash Bros.
I wondered how much more interesting it would be to watch some aggressive play in Brawl. Yes, even though it has tripping. Especially because it has tripping.view full story + comments
You should watch Ping Pong: The Animation. It's why Lebron James realized he needed to go back to Cleveland, true story. But be warned, watching other anime after will be hard because it leaves you extra acutely aware of how mediocre and awful most anime is. Sorry, Beck.

For those of you who haven't played Final Fantasy XIV, a new patch just arrived that implemented a major mechanic into the game -- worldwide monster hunting. The concept is simple enough. Across the world in each zone, various rare monsters randomly spawn throughout, granting those who kill them extra bonuses and rewards.
These encounters are not instanced -- or -- they do not take place in separate locations for each party. They are on the same world as every other player, leading to conflicts, jolly cooperation, and everything in-between.
They're also one of the most fun things I've ever played in a game.view full story + comments
MMOs are constantly evolving beasts. Particularly in the subscription realm, developers are always searching for ways to keep players hooked, usually in the form of major updates -- big content patches that help ease the wait between even bigger expansions. The latest MMO to get an overhaul is Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn, which is seeing its "Defenders of Eorzea" patch this week, bringing up the current version of the game to 2.3.
Since this update is even bigger than the vast majority of $60 retail releases, I'll be looking at everything it has to offer to supplement to our already existing review of A Realm Reborn, which covered up to patch 2.2.view full story + comments

I first played Rust back in January. It was at times scary, confusing, and frustrating, which is to be expected in an anything-goes online multiplayer game about naked men trying to survive with rocks and crudely-fashioned hatchets while others possess pistols, assault rifles, and explosives.
Thanks to its players and their chaos, Rust was entertaining in a way that a scripted game could never be -- up until the point at which it wasn't. It eventually got old. I stopped playing.
More than that, I quit paying attention to all of the updates in the pipeline for this Steam Early Access game. At about 16 hours of play time, I had gotten my fill, thanks. So I left, impatient and somewhat unsatisfied, unsure if I'd ever truly return to the game.
But I have, now that Facepunch Studios is rebooting Rust. Work has ceased on the original version most players know while the team rebuilds the game from scratch in what it is calling an experimental branch. It's playable now and as janky as things are, it's promising.
Let's take a look! (Warning: there will be some butts.)view full story + comments
When I was a kid, I loved watching Gundam Wing and the original Mobile Suit Gundam on Cartoon Network. The mecha genre has always been a personal favorite of mine so I tried to capture the same feeling while playing a video game as I had watching Gundam anime and pretending that I was Heero Yuy or Amuro Ray.
With interest in Gundam on the rise in the US after the Cartoon Network runs, some of the games were finally localized for North America. I thought I'd finally be able to play through the stories I loved so much, picking up Mobile Suit Gundam: Journey to Jaburo as soon as it came out and the disappointment I had in that game resonates with me today. It sure didn't feel like I was in command of the mobile suit that won the One Year War. I felt like I was in control of a robot-shaped RC car.
Luckily, I was finally able to find the game that would finally reproduce the warm and fuzzy feelings that viewing Gundam for the first time did so long ago, and who would have thought it would have come in the form of a Dynasty Warriors game?view full story + comments
The Wolf Among Us has been one hell of a ride. Although Tellltale's The Walking Dead managed to craft a grimdark world worth seeing time and time again, Wolf has a more nuanced take, with larger-than-life fairy tale characters who have decidedly human problems.
All of it comes to an end here with Cry Wolf, the last episode of the series. While I'll refrain from spoiling anything in particular, I will say that is indeed a satisfying conclusion.view full story + comments
Battleborn is the next big game from Gearbox Software, and, much like the developer's Borderlands series, it's looking to put a unique spin on the first-person shooter.
Billed a "hero-shooter" by Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford, the title infuses MOBA elements into its narrative-driven co-op and competitive multiplayer in place of Borderlands' hallmark loot-heavy RPG flare. The story, penned by former Destructoid editor Aaron Linde, is set in the distant future in a "science fantasy" universe on the brink of destruction.
Battleborn is slated to release sometime during Take-Two Interactive's upcoming fiscal year ending March 31, 2016 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.view full story + comments

Sure, Natural Doctrine doesn't look great (well, the environments; it does look better in miniature on the Vita). It's a far cry from director Atsushi Ii's gorgeous minimalism in Patapon.
But Kadokawa Games' first internal venture can get a pass for looking a bit dated if the core gameplay can hold up, and it just might. Producer Kensuke Tanaka felt that JRPGs were "lacking in difficulty," that they didn't "make you think," NIS America representatives explained. Natural Doctrine is an answer to that.
However, NIS America was not able to answer why exactly the lead in a fantasy RPG of orcs, magic and lizard men is named Jeff.view full story + comments

NFL Analyst: 'Whisenhunt's going to get another shot'
When the Arizona Cardinals fired Ken Whisenhunt on Monday, many pundits around the league believed he would get a second chance as an NFL head coach.
Less than a week since his firing, Whisenhunt has already completed interviews with the Buffalo Bills and Cleveland Browns. With the Browns close to hiring Oregon innovator and one of the hottest head coaching candidates on the market, Chip Kelly, many wonder if Whisenhunt will indeed wind up taking the reins in Buffalo.
CBS Sports NFL Analyst Steve Tasker told Arizona Sports 620's Doug & Wolf Friday he hasn't been privy to the talks between Whisenhunt and the Bills, but he wouldn't be surprised if the former Cardinals head coach landed with the Bills.
"Don't be surprised when Ken Whisenhunt gets another head coaching job and it may well be in Buffalo," Tasker said. "I am sure that he's on their short list and we'll see how it comes out. I don't have any special insight into how that interview process went with Whisenhunt."
Tasker said he understands Cardinals fans might be unable to fathom how Whisenhunt could potentially get another head coach gig so quickly, but he believes with the right personnel the 50-year-old could be quite successful in a new environment.
"Don't kid yourself, [Whisenhunt's] going to get another shot at a head coaching job," Tasker said. "He got [the Cardinals] to the Super Bowl. When he had a good quarterback, he's a pretty good coach. And every coach I've ever spoken to will tell you they go from the village idiot to the Coach of the Year as soon as they get good players."
Whisenhunt interviewed with Bills' brass on Wednesday night in Arizona. He was 45-51 in six seasons with the Cardinals and 27-21 and 4-2 in the playoffs in three seasons with two-time MVP quarterback Kurt Warner.

WINSTON-SALEM — For the first time since 1999, a span of 12 games, Duke finally managed to defeat Wake Forest.
And the Blue Devils won 34-27 Saturday despite losing five starters during the contest and encountering a late momentum swing in the Deacons favor.
Just finally ending that streak is huge, said Duke senior wide receiver Conner Vernon, who also called it the biggest win of his career. Right now, its kind of like youre on cloud nine a little bit, just finally getting over that hump.
It was not easy for Duke (4-1, 1-0 in the ACC), which is now off to its best start since 1994, the season of its most recent bowl appearance. But the Blue Devils commitment to the running game, error-free special teams and a propensity for generating turnovers proved to be difference makers down the stretch.
Dukes defense, which lost two starters on the opening drive, harassed Wake Forest (3-2, 1-2) into four turnovers twice as many as the Deacons had in their previous four games combined. The third takeaway a sack and forced fumble by Jordon DeWalt-Ondijo led to Dukes go-ahead drive with 12 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter.
DeWalt-Ondijo, who forced the fumble that led to Dukes game-winning drive against FIU in 2010, hit Wake Forest QB Tanner Price as he dropped back to throw. Defensive lineman Jonathan Woodruff recovered, and Duke took over on the Wake Forest 8.
Its been amazing, Duke coach David Cutcliffe said of his defense. If you start counting the number of players not out there, we just keep having people step up.
Two plays after the fumble recovery, backup quarterback Anthony Boone, who had entered the game on the previous series, executed a perfect fake handoff to freshman Jela Duncan. Boone kept the ball himself, rolled out and then ran down the right sideline for the go-ahead score.
When Sean went down, everybody looked at me and said, time to go, said Boone, the former Weddington High star. Everyone has confidence in me, and that brings confidence in myself.
Duncan added an insurance touchdown on a 17-yard run with less than two minutes remaining after Duke forced the second Price interception of the day.
It hurts, Deacons cornerback Kevin Johnson said. We know that we let one go and we didnt play the best game that we can. Duke was a great team, but its definitely discouraging.
The Blue Devils 14 fourth-quarter points came after the Deacons had scored 10 points of their own in just 2:09 late in the third quarter. Trailing by 10 and missing the ACCs leading receiver, Michael Campanaro, because of a broken hand sustained in the first half, Wake Forest rattled off the third-longest drive in school history. The 98-yard drive included a third-and-9 conversion from the 3-yard line, with Price finding Deandre Martin for a 36-yard gain. A 34-yard touchdown pass to Tommy Bohanan narrowed the deficit to 20-17.
On the next offensive play for Duke, Renfree was hit by reserve cornerback Chibuikem Okoro, and Wake Forest defensive end Zach Thompson came down with the interception at the Duke 20-yard line. A 28-yard field goal from Newman tied it 20-20.
But unlike seemingly every other recent game in the series, it was Duke that made the key fourth-quarter plays.
The end result?
A victory at BB&T Field.
Duke is hoping it leads to a few more.
It just goes to show that, finally, this team is here to play, Vernon said. It goes to show the rest of the teams in the league also that were not just an easy win anymore.
Wake Forest lost an ACC home game to an in-state opponent for the first time since 2004, when UNC beat the Demon Deacons Nov. 13, 2004
For the first time this year, the Blue Devils ran the ball more than they passed. The trio of Jela Duncan, Juwan Thompson and Josh Snead spearheaded the 36 carry, 123-yard effort.

Shaker Heights took a little something with them as it departed for the Northeast Ohio Conference: a Lake Erie League championship. The Red Raiders are coming off a 21-3 season where they finished 9-1 in the LEL and locked up a district title before falling in the Regional Semifinals to St. Edward 79-70.
Coach Danny Young doesn't expect any problems adjusting to the NOC and reuniting with former LEL rival Mentor.
"We've played a lot of those teams last year," Young said. "It probably won't be as up and down as the LEL. These teams are going to be more methodical and shorten possessions. It's nothing that we're not used to because I try to schedule a lot of games and scrimmages where we see a variety of styles."
Esa Ahmad should be the focal point of the Red Raiders, the 6-foot-7 sophomore averaged nine points, five rebounds and two blocks last season and with more responsibility on his shoulders coach Young expects those numbers only to rise.
"He's a stud," Young said. "He can do it all. He can shoot the three, play down in the low post and bring the ball up the floor in transition. He's going to be our go-to guy."
Complimenting him will be 6-5 senior forward Kash Blackwell, who is primarily a slasher with a nice outside shot and good rebounding skills. Rosel Hurley is likely to occupy one of the guard spots, with 11 Division I offers. Young praised his ability to work in the open floor — especially his ability to score in a variety of ways — but is working to improve his rebounding going into the season.
Mel Leach brings a wealth of experience at the point guard position. That is critical because Shaker Heights lost Louisville commit Terry Rozier to graduation. Rozier is currently playing junior college basketball at the Hargrave Military Academy, but just committed to Louisville on Nov. 14. Leach is also a quarterback on the Red Raiders football team.
Another kid to watch is Keith Griffin, a freshman point guard who Young expects to evolve into a strong option as the season progresses.
"He's tough as nails and quick as I don't know what," Young said. "He's very happy at playing the role of just getting everyone involved. It's going take him some time to learn the system, but he's going to be a very special talent down the road."
Ultimately, the key for the Red Raiders to build on their success from last season will be how they grow as a team throughout the season.
"We have a chance to be pretty good," Young said. "We need to build team chemistry and understand that if we play through Esa Ahmad, everything else will open up for us. We have to pay attention to details as far as far as accepting the responsibility of doing things the right way."
Young Talent Poised to Shine for Beachwood
An influx of young talent could have Beachwood boys basketball in position to make deep tournament runs for the next few seasons, headlined by one of the state's top freshmen 6-foot-3 forward Ronald Jones.
Jones and fellow freshmen Jalen Davis and Dassan Rhodes were focal points on their middle school teams that went a combined 33-0 in seventh and eighth grade. Davis will split time between varsity and JV while Rhodes could work his way onto varsity some point in the season.
Jalen's older brother, junior John Davis III, will continue be the focal point of the Bison. Davis is getting a lot of Division I looks and was critical to Beachwood's 14-9 season that ended in a 69-67 double overtime loss against St. Peter Chanel in the Bison's first trip to the district final.
"He's the man," Beachwood athletic director Ryan Peters said. "He's grown a lot, both physically and mentally. He's the backbone of the team and all the kids look up to him. He's really stepped it up, becoming much more of a vocal leader. He's always in the gym shooting when he's not in class."
Beachwood retains a wealth of experience from its district final team. Senior forward Jordan Richardson and senior guard Jon Tramer along with junior guards Trey Sanders and Julio Stevens should round out the starting five with Jones seeing significant minutes off the bench.
But if perfection at the middle school level is any indication, Jones and his fellow classmates should help ease the loss of seniors Ellis Cohen, Jared Moss, Anthony Valentine and Alex Hohl and keep the Bison on the right track to a district title.
Tigers' Reload With Versatility
The Tigers look to reload after a 17-5 season ended in the district semifinals with a 43-33 loss to Garfield Heights. Cleveland Heights will miss the services of Tyree Gaiter — who is averaging 12.5 points at Notre Dame College — and Najeeb Johnson — who attended UW Platteville, a strong Division III program.
"We lost a lot of talent," coach Andy Suttell said. "But at the same time we're still a very deep basketball team. I think we have some guys who are really going to have some breakout years."
The Tigers two returning starter will likely take on more responsibility are Marcus Bagley and Antonio Harper. Bagley, 6-foot-0 junior, was the second leading scorer averaging 13 points a game. Harper, a 6-7 senior, led the team in rebounding and provided the Tigers with a strong interior presence.
Delaunte Davis will assume the role of point guard after seeing valuable time off the bench during his sophomore season. Davis combined with Johnson to score 13 points in a 56-53 victory against Bedford in the sectional championship and coach didn't seem too worried about Davis' ability to handle the added responsibility.
"There were a lot of times last year where I felt we were at our best when (Davis) was on the floor," Suttell said. "He's a very solid point guard and we expect him to step up and score a little bit more for us and overall be a lead with the ball in his hands most of the time."
Camerin Cross, a 6-2 senior, brings a versatile defensive presence as he can guard both guards and post players without struggling. Against Garfield Heights, Cross held Tony Farmer — who was averaging about 20 points a game — to less than 10.
"He's always the best athlete on the floor," Suttell said. "He is an incredible leaper, very fast strong kid."
That kind of versatility is what coach Suttell believes is the strength of this Tigers team.
"We're going to be able to cause some mismatch problems," Suttell said. "Hopefully we'll be able to wear some teams down by running guys at people and pressing.
"I think towards the end of the season we were as good as any team in the state. We played that tournament game without our two leading scorers and still gave Garfield Heights a game. We feel like we can compete with anyone. We're going in as a bit of an unknown, but we have some expectations that we'll create names for ourselves and that people will be talking about Cleveland Heights basketball toward the end of the year."

The Kellar Estate made it through Christmas — and the Great Christmas Snowstorm of 2012 — in one piece.
Vida, my wife and the Super Supreme Santa Spotter at the Estate, and I spent the hours between Christmas Eve and Christmas morning crashed on the couch and love seat in the den, watching videos until we dozed off, worn out from the previous evening's merriment.
We had our daughter Jaylynn, 13.5, and our son Jason, 6, bunk together in Jaylynn's room and, once Jason finally used up his last spark of pre-Christmas nervous energy, the entire Estate finally settled in for a winter's nap.
Of course our son — for whom it takes an act of Congress and 12 pipers piping in order to get up on time on a school day — was wide awake before dawn in anticipation of the joy ahead. He was assisted by the powerful thunderstorms blowing into town, which also spooked the dogs — Bosco, Overgrown Schnauzer Puppy and Millie, the Spaniel-Mix Dust Mop with Legs.
About 30 minutes later, after Vida's mom Reba and Aunt Pam arrived, came the great unveiling. Jason was overjoyed that he received a new bike, a Hex Bug Nano set and an Alien Autopsy game. But what really thrilled him was the remote control helicopter, an item for which he had been begging and pleading for weeks.
I made it clear to Jason that, no matter how much he insisted that he knew exactly how to operate the helicopter, that he should watch me use it first, just to learn the proper method of utilizing the controls.
Jason then calmly watched as his Dad immediately sent the helicopter crashing into a wall.
Jaylynn, our bookworm, received a Kindle e-reader and a Kindle gift card, neither of which she put down during the rest of the day. She also received a new Sims game for her computer, which meant her smile was from ear to ear.
Later in the day our son Nick and his girlfriend Heather came for dinner and, immediately afterward, a cutthroat game of "Phase 10" with Vida, Reba and Pam.
Vida and I had intended on going to the movies Tuesday. But as the card game broke up and people started packing up Christmas leftovers to take home, the mixture of snow and rain outside had turned into something more closely resembling the weather conditions at Santa's North Pole workshop, leading us to cancel our movie plans.
Everyone made it home safely and the rest of the day was spent recovering from the holiday chaos, as we realized once again that the Kellar Estate had enjoyed another very Merry Christmas.
Of course, now the planning starts for next year's holiday ...
Just a thought ...
Kellar is a Herald-Banner staff writer

Thrilled to announce the partnership with Songkick's Detour London project!
So, if you want to see Indian Wells in London please go visit the site. How it works is quite simple - fans have the ability to vote and pledge in advance to help bring their favourite artist to their city. They are still in private beta at the moment but Songkick has given us invite codes that you can access here :
Invite Code: P8QWJT6F
Detour Website - https://detour-ldn.songkick.com/users/badpandarecords ;
If you're new to what Songkick Detour is trying to do, here's the way the pledge system works.
1. Vote for your bands. Start with Indian Wells but feel free to vote for more artists
2. Pledge to buy tickets. Choose the price you think is fair
3. Once the gig is confirmed, the ticket price will be set. You won't be charged more than the ticket price, even if your pledge was higher.
4. You won't be charged until the concert is confirmed. If you can't go, you'll be refunded. You'll only be charged for one concert, even if you vote for 50 bands.
More on Songkick and Detour London:
"At the heart of Detour is a belief that true fans can help their favourite artists come to their city sooner. Right now as a fan if you want to see a new band live, you have to wait till someone else (a combination of the band and the promoter) decide to take on the financial risk of confirming a show and traveling to a new place. Detour London gives fans a way to help the artists they love, by stepping up and committing to buy a ticket, telling the band "If you come, I'm in".

SEATTLE -- The KING 5 Investigators have obtained the first images the public has seen of what divers brought up last month from the bottom of Elliott Bay near the new Smith Cove Cruise Terminal in Magnolia.
A few visual examples of the load the Navy is now storing on Whidbey Island: corroded empty shell casings; a World War II-era projectile nose; deteriorating rounds of ammunition; and the biggest piece of unexploded ammunition the Port of Seattle Dive Team has found so far.
An expert in the field says the badly decaying projectile - possibly a 90 millimeter round - looks to be even older, most likely from World War I.
"I'm sure they were surprised when they identified something," said Port of Seattle Police Chief Colleen Wilson. She says the discoveries were a first for her dive team of five.
While looking for items of sabotage during routine anti-terrorism sweeps around the cruise ships and piers, they came across both harmless munitions and live projectiles filled with high explosive material.
The chief is confident the water and people around it are safe.
"We believe the situation is safe and we have all along. I would not hesitate to be clear if the public would be in danger and that hasn't been the case," said Chief Wilson.
Everyone agrees the likelihood of a detonation is small but no comprehensive survey has been done. There are lots of unknowns.
"It is our top priority," said Coast Guard Lieutenant Jennifer Osburn.
The Coast Guard is taking the findings seriously.
"We don't know what's down there, and I think the fear is of the unknown. We don't want to take any chances. While it is deemed very, very little chance of anything happening, what you don't know could hurt you," said Lt. Osburn.
Here's why there's so much mystery. Smith Cove was a Navy supply center from World War II to 1971. Before the Port of Seattle turned it into the cornerstone of the city's cruise ship industry last year, research was done on what the Navy handled at the pier. Ammunition was ruled out.
The new discoveries on four different days in September show that wasn't right.
"There might not be an imminent danger, but there's still a hazard that needs to be dealt with," said Jim Barton, an acclaimed underwater munitions expert. He says a lack of solid historical research means anything could be sitting down there.
"So that opens up a big question mark. If you weren't able to determine that munitions were handled in the first place, then basically anything in the inventory could be at the bottom of that pier," said Barton.
The Pentagon has assigned the Army Corps of Engineers to conduct a full survey and potential clean-up operation. And there's not much time. In April the cruise season begins again, bringing with it powerful ships that have the ability to loosen underwater munitions.
Those familiar with underwater munitions clean-up efforts say they rarely see the Army able to move quickly. But because of the unique situation those involved hope the site rises to the top of the list.

Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Syrah Cuvee Christine is striking. Dark blue/black fruits, grilled savory herbs, smoke, licorice, incense and mint form the backbone in the 2010. There are plenty of varietal notes in the glass, but at the same time, the style remains quite forward and fruit-driven. A juicy, forward..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Sojourn's dark ruby-hued 2012 Pinot Noir Rodger's Creek Vineyard comes from a site located in the icy cold Petaluma Gap region. Completely made from clone 777, and fermented with 100% stems, it exhibits notes reminiscent of cherry pie, plums, cranberries and a hint of wild strawberries. It..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Bright, ripe and juicy, with vivid blueberry, blackberry and wild berry flavors that are spicy, supple and elegant, maintaining this red's dark berry themes and ending with a spicy berry aftertaste..."
Cellar/Tasting Notes The 2011 Pinot Noir Two Brothers, tasted from barrel, is hugely promising. There is a level of purity in the fruit that is simply beautiful. The style is a bit exuberant for the year, but all the elements are very much in balance. A blast of sweet red cherries, dried flowers and sweet spices flow..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "Tight, with a gritty, earthy edge to the firm strawberry, dark berry, violet, spice and cedar notes, gaining depth and ending with a persistent finish. Should gain with age."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 White is a bit more focused than the 2010, partly because of the addition of Petit Manseng and Marsanne to the blend. Floral-infused honey, nectarines, peaches and crushed rocks wrap around the long, nuanced finish. The 2011 White is 66% Roussanne, 14% Viognier, 14% Petit Manseng and 6%..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2010 Napanook (98% Cabernet Sauvignon and 2% Petit Verdot) reveals a pungent, spicy, earthy, slightly herbal nose, and an exuberant mouthfeel with lots of plum, licorice, red and black currants and a hint of sweet cherries. The wine is slightly more in-your-face and aggressive than most..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2011 Pinot Noir Ryan Vineyard impresses for its depth and mid-palate density. Dark red and black stone fruit, leather and cloves are some of the notes that take shape in a pliant, yet structured Pinot that should drink well for many years. The Ryan finishes with substantial intensity and..
Cellar/Tasting Notes "The 2012 Pinot Noir Russian River exhibits sexy black currant and black cherry fruit, crisp acidity, a certain framboise character, medium to full body, and abundant texture as well as flavor. The good news is there are over 6,000 cases of it. It should drink well for 4-7 years."
Cellar/Tasting Notes "I was also impressed by the 2011 Chardonnay Platt Vineyard. Cropped at one ton of fruit per acre (Ramey told me the grapes looked like petits pois from France), and from one of the coldest sites in his portfolio, it exhibits lively notes of lemon oil, lime skins, white peaches and a touch of..

As an addiction psychologist in Philadelphia and the Main Line this is nothing new during the past 20 years. Drugs have always been hidden or delivered in various food products or new packaging and marketing methods. It is especially problematic when there are younger children in the house. As marijuana and THC have become more potent over the years the ways of ingesting it have changed too. It is really important that families become involved in treatment for drug and alcohol problems to ensure safety for the whole family and to provide support for the individual using drugs or alcohol.

Things I liked:Fps,accuracy,stock,
Things I would have changed:Sights
What others should know:This gun has quite a high fps, and I have found it to be fairly accurate, however the sights on it are cheap plastic, i had to adjust my windage as far left as it will go to get them to line up shots. And BTW SCOPES DONT WORK
Things I liked:POWER!!!!!!! It is a powerfull airgun. Easy to maintain and goes the extra mile compare to more expensive ones.
Things I would have changed:The thigs and trigger need update. A surdier sight and a better smother trigger.
Things I liked:Nice stock. Very comfortable to hold with good hand position. Very good trigger for a $90 rifle. Two-stage with clean take-up and then a clean break. Very accurate. I was able to shoot one-hole groups at 10 yards from a free-standing position. This also speaks well of the stock because it allows you to maintain a comfortable stance. I didn't chronograph it - but it sure seems like its kicking the pellets out with some real force.
Things I would have changed:I like open sights and this rifle has fiber optic sights that are nice and clear. They are, however, made of plastic and very easy to knock out of alignment. The sights need to be sturdier.
What others should know:Very good value for the money. Good trigger, good stock, good accuracy. Not quiet. Makes quite a "CLANG!" when you pull the trigger. Be careful where your hands are when you shoot. The piston releases with some real force and if your forward hand is in the wrong place - it will hurt.

Episode 2 (Oct 2006)
Don't just read about D&D's latest news and announcements--listen to them as well! And where better to find inside information than from the very halls of Wizards of the Coast? The first of October's D&D podcasts, R&D's Mike Mearls grills Andy Collins on the latest addition to the Complete series: Complete Mage.

About the Authors
David Noonan is a designer/developer for Wizards of the Coast. His credits include co-designing Dungeon Master's Guide II, Heroes of Battle, and numerous products for the Eberron campaign setting. He lives in Washington state with his wife, son, and daughter.
Mike Mearls is the dark hope of chaotic evil: young, handsome, well endowed in abilities and aptitudes, thoroughly wicked, depraved, and capricious. Whomever harms Mearls had better not brag of it in the presence of one who will inform the Demoness Lolth!
Evil to the core, Mearls is cunning, and if the situation appears in doubt, he will use bribery and honeyed words to sway the balance in his favor. He is not at all adverse to gaining new recruits of any sort, and will gladly accept adventurers into the ranks, but he will test and try them continually. Those who arouse suspicion will be quietly murdered in their sleep; those with too much promise will be likewise dealt with, for Mearls wants no potential usurpers or threats to his domination.
