BOSTON -- The tradition goes back more than a half-century. Red Auerbach pretty much originated the now-hallowed concept of a sixth man. It was a designation signifying devotion to the team and unselfishness, a 1950s-60s version of ubuntu, if you will. Frank Ramsey originated the role, which was then passed on to John Havlicek (or "Hondo"), who was the sixth man on a handful of Celtics title teams.
There was no logical successor in the 1970s, although Nate Archibald once anointed Jeff Judkins as "Baby Hondo." In hindsight, that appears to be a bit of an overreach. But Kevin McHale stepped into the role in the early 1980s, and, in 1984 and 1985, won the NBA Sixth Man Award, given to the player the media deems to be the most important reserve in the league. (The award was first handed out in 1983 to Philly's Bobby Jones.)
Then, in 1985, Bill Walton came to Boston. He was eight years removed from a season in which he averaged 18.9 points, 13.2 rebounds, a stunning 5 assists and 2.5 blocks a game. He was named the NBA's Most Valuable Player that season, 1977-78, and, in his first (and only healthy) season with the Celtics, he took the Sixth Man Award in 1985-86.
To this day, he remains the only player in NBA history to win both the MVP and Sixth Man awards. Could Shaquille O'Neal be the second?
Like Walton, Shaq is coming to Boston at the end of his career.
Like Walton, Shaq has an MVP award; his is from the 1999-2000 season.
Like Walton, Shaq was named to the NBA's top 50 all-time players list more than a decade ago.
Like Walton, Shaq wants to win another championship (Walton had won one with the Blazers in 1977) and, like Walton, Shaq professes to be a student of the game.
And Shaq wants nothing to do with the Sixth Man Award.
Of course, that would presume he would qualify by coming off the bench for the 2010-11 Boston Celtics, something that hasn't been determined as of yet. Then again, in one of the years McHale won the award, he was a sometime starter due to injuries to Cedric Maxwell.
So Shaq, ready to take your place in Celtics history alongside the other great sixth men?
"No,'' he said rather emphatically after practice Monday. "About four years ago, I gave up on the concept of winning individual awards. I'm focusing on the big one at the end of the year."
But, Shaq was asked, didn't he think the Sixth Man Award was more of a team award than an individual award? Again, the answer was the same.
"It's not for me,'' he said. "What's important to me is the six balls I have on the desk of my office at the top of a big building,'' he said. Asked to elaborate, he said, "I'm the CEO of the company. I just don't have the building yet." Or, by extension, the office or the desk.
(I later ran these quotes past a Celtics public relations official who sat in on the brief interview. The official verified the quotes. Neither of us had any idea what Shaq was talking about. Six balls? He won three NBA Finals MVPs. He has one regular-season MVP award. He has won four NBA titles. Not sure where the six comes in.)
Shaq is coming to the Celtics at an age (38) where, for really the first time in his career, he is likely to be a reserve, especially when Kendrick Perkins returns to the lineup. He was 28 when he won the 2000 MVP award. Walton was 33 -- a very old 33 -- when he joined the Celtics in 1985. But he not only was a force off the bench, he also was a terrific addition in terms of camaraderie and chemistry. (OK, he served as the Official Human Dartboard for the team's many pranksters, chiefly McHale, but he was undeniably popular.) Walton had won his only MVP at the age of 25, but foot injuries prevented him from ever becoming the ubercenter that he could have been (and was, for about one or two seasons in Portland). He played 80 games in 1985-86, a Ripkenesque standard of durability for the fragile, brittle big man. His previous high was 67 games the season before with the Clippers. He played in only 10 games for the 1986-87 Celtics after yet another operation and slogged through the playoffs -- nowhere near the player he had been the previous season. That was it.
Walton eventually embraced the sixth man concept because he came to understand what it meant, both individually and as a part of the Celtics' storied history.
Shaq is embracing everything but the award. He wants to fit in. He wants to help. He wants to do what he can to win another ring. Just don't ask him to clear some more hypothetical space on that hypothetical desk in that hypothetical skyscraper for another award. He ain't interested. At least not now.

Comic-Con Trailers: The Best of the Best, Ranked
Film, TV
Hot Toys has revealed its second series of Avengers: Age of Ultron Artist Mix figures, designed by Touma, which includes The Vision and Iron Man Mark XLV.
The 13-centimeter-tall bobbleheads are joined by Thor, Iron Legion and the Incredible Hulk (who towers over the others at 14.5 centimeters). The deluxe set includes an exclusive gray Rampaging Hulk.
Superheroes sprang from the era of pulp icons like The Phantom and Doc Savage, and now cartoonist Chris Schweizer has some of today's most popular costumed characters back to their roots.
In a project undertaken just for fun, the creator of The Crogan Adventures imagined some of the Avengers and X-Men as they might've appeared in the 1920s and 1930s in a series called "Marvel Pulp."
In the buildup to Avengers: Age of Ultron, Hot Toys has been wowing fans by revealing one movie-accurate collectible figure after another, from Captain America and Ultron Prime to the Incredible Hulk and War Machine. However, the company has been holding back one at least one character, whose introduction in the Marvel Studios sequel is eagerly anticipated: The Vision, as played by Paul Bettany.
This morning, however, Hot Toys unveiled a tantalizing teaser:
All 13 characters have been revealed for The Marvel Experience interactive tour, and at least a couple may surprise you.
As depicted in the above image, debuted by Yahoo, the usual suspects — Spider-Man, Iron Man, Captain America, Thor and the Incredible Hulk — will be joined by Wolverine, Black Widow, Nick Fury, Maria Hill, The Vision, She-Hulk, Iron Fist and Black Panther.
"This is the only place you'll see them together, and we're proud of that," Rick Licht, CEO of tour producer Hero Ventures, is quoted as saying. That's in part because the film rights to Wolverine and Spider-Man are held by Fox and Sony, respectively.
Hello and welcome to What Are You Reading?, our weekly look at the comics, books and whatever else we've been checking out lately. Today we are joined by guest Evan Young, an "influential pioneer" of digital literature and creator of the digital graphic novel The Carrier. He's currently raising funds for his next project, The Last West, via Kickstarter, so head over there and check it out.

As I said a while back, comics seems to be having an increasing influence on fine art and illustration. One aspect of this is fine art fetishizing the iconography of comics. You may already have seen the work of the photorealist Glennray Tutor, and his still lifes of toys and fireworks often positioned around comic art, like the above shot of some marbles illuminating a romance comic. Tutor is using comic art as a signifier of pure Americana, as American as the vinyl Donald Ducks or bottles of hot sauce he also takes as subject matter.
It's hard not to see his influence upon the painter Matthew Bone. Bone isn't a photorealist, and he utilizes the artifacts of nerd culture in a similar way to a very different end. His work literally fetishizes comics and toys: a semi-nude woman writhing on a bed of old Marvel comics; a pair of erotically charged models salivating over a Gundam toy; a nude in a Darth Vader helmet clutching handfuls of Storm Trooper action figures to her breasts; another mock-fellating a Gamorean guard toy. The bio on his website claims "by utilizing the conventions of pop culture, and it's willingness to embrace the artifice as the sincere, Matthew is able to create a re-envisioned modern mythology." That's quite a claim for what a less sympathetic critic might just call an inappropriate fixation upon the pop cultural iconography of his youth mixing with a retrogressive view of female sexuality — NSFW examples below. Also below: Michael Latimer, the street art
swiper Lichtenstein, and Sam Spratt.

Cozens published a drawing manual called A New Method of Assisting the Invention... of Landscape in 1786, which demonstrated one of his schemes for inventing landscape compositions. He recommended the use of the chance associations which semi-randomly applied 'blots' of ink would produce in the mind to create new compositions. When making a blot, Cozens wrote, 'you must first possess your mind strongly with the subject'. Here Cozens or a pupil has used a large brush loaded with dense black ink, working quickly to lay down the main forms, and using overlapping dabs of ink to complete the image.

Diabetes Health Center
Short-Acting Insulin Time Not Short
June 27, 2007 -- For most obese people with type 2 diabetes, short-acting insulin may not be short-acting, say researchers.
People with type 2 diabetes may need insulin injections to help control the spike in blood sugar that follows a meal.
Regular insulin takes about 45 minutes to work its way into the system -- with the dosage adjusted to the type and amount of food to be eaten, says Jean-Luc Ardilouze, MD, PhD, professor of medicine at University of Sherbrooke in Quebec, Canada.
"Of course, how many of us know exactly what, and how much, we are going to eat 45 minutes before a meal? So the big advantage of short-acting insulin was you could inject it immediately before eating," Ardilouze tells WebMD.
Humalog and NovoLog are two examples of short-acting insulins.
Obesity and Short-Acting Insulin
Ardilouze became interested in the biology of fat tissue. He soon learned that fat tissue has highly restricted blood flow -- and wondered what that meant for obese people who take insulin injections.
When they studied short-acting insulin products, Ardilouze and colleagues discovered that the bigger the dose, the longer the products took to work. They reported the findings at the American Diabetes Association's 67th Annual Scientific Sessions, held June 22-26 in Chicago.
"If you inject 10 units of short-acting insulin into obese subjects, there is not much difference in time to peak effect," he says. "But the time is tripled with triple the dose -- the kind of dose an obese person with diabetes is much more likely to need."
This means that for obese people, short-acting insulin isn't short-acting. Ardilouze says it may take as long as 45 minutes to work -- a fact that doctors and patients don't know.
How could this be? After all, short-acting insulin products are marketed, and priced, on the basis of their convenience. Ardilouze says he was amazed to learn that short-acting insulin was approved by U.S. and Canadian authorities without having been tested in obese people with type 2 diabetes.
"The big surprise when we started this study was to find out that the [biochemical action] of short-acting insulin had been established in young, lean, type 1 diabetics," Ardilouze says. "One product, in the tiny writing on the label, there is one little part that says [it] was never studied in obese people with type 2 diabetes."
That's true, says M. Sue Kirkman, MD, vice president for clinical affairs at the American Diabetes Association.
"The initial trials looking at short-acting insulin were done in normal individuals -- and all of the [biochemical action] studies are done in normal people -- probably lean normal people," Kirkman tells WebMD. "Most studies of rapid-acting insulins are done in type 1 diabetes, although I think there are some type 2 studies, especially with the more recent products."

I just finished this incredible book and I am calming down from the excitement and awesomeness combined. It started out a little dull and its incorporation of time, scenery and character changes confused me throughout the entire book. But the last 150 - 200 pages were just ...
This book could be considered good just because it's an exercise on imagination. The landscape set in this books is beautiful, and following the characters as they develop that landscape around themselves is mesmerizing. I liked how the romance was part of the narrative but was not heavy. One of the best debut novels I've read.
I had been seeing a lot of people raving about this book so I was a little hesitant to read it. I was worried about it being overhyped and I'm not a big fan of circuses either so I wasn't sure if I would like it anyways. I loved this book! I was immediately drawn into the writing and the characters. Everything about this book is so incredibly imaginative and exciting, every step of the way. I think one of my favorite things was seeing how she connected all of the characters to each other. Even seemingly minor characters ended up playing a big roll in the story. I loved Celia and Marco together and individually. But I think my favorite characters were Poppet and Widget. They were so cute! And how cool would that be to grow up in a circus?! I know I said I wasn't a big fan of circuses but this is a completely extraordinary circus that is unlike any other circus in the world. I was so completely blown away by this book. I will definitely be buying this so I can immerse myself into this magical world again.
Wow. Amazing.
Tsukiko is very wise. What makes her even wiser is the way she spreads her wisdom. By interpretation. She let's you interpret it the way you see it.
The author creates a magical world that entices our imagination. The story is slow at times, but overall a good read.
Magic without passion is pretty much a trip to Pier One: lots of shrink-wrapped candles. One wishes Morgenstern had spent less time on the special effects and more on the hauntingly unanswerable question that runs, more or less ignored, through these pages: Can children love who were never loved, only used as intellectual machines? What kind of magic reverses that spell? It's not as pretty a spectacle, but that's a story that grips the heart.
I am a reader who should have hated this novel; yet I found it enchanting, and affecting, too, in spite of its sentimental ending. Morgenstern's patient, lucid construction of her circus – of its creators and performers and followers – makes for a world of illusion more real than that of many a realist fiction. There is a matter-of-factness about the magicians' magic, a consistency about the parameters of the circus world, that succeeds both in itself and as a comment upon the need for and nature of illusion in general. While the novel's occasional philosophical gestures seem glib ("You are no longer quite certain which side of the fence is the dream"), the book enacts its worldview more satisfyingly than could any summary or statement. Rather than forcing its readers to be prisoners in someone else's imagination, Morgenstern's imaginary circus invites readers to join in an exploration of the possible.
Underneath the icy polish of her prose, Morgenstern well understands what makes The Night Circus tick: that Marco and Celia, whether in competition or in love, are part of a wider world they must engage with but also transcend. It's a world whose mystique and enigma is hard to shake off, and that invites multiple visits.
The Night Circus is one of those books. One of those rare, wonderful, transcendent books that, upon finishing, you want to immediately start again.
The book itself looks beautiful but creaky plotting and lifeless characters leave The Night Circus less than enchanting

Amazon.com Amazon.com Review (ISBN 0307744434, Paperback)Amazon Best Books of the Month, September 2011: Erin Morgenstern's dark, enchanting debut takes us to the black and white tents of Le Cirque des Reves, a circus that arrives without warning, simply appearing when yesterday it was not there. Young Celia and Marco have been cast into a rivalry at The Night Circus, one arranged long ago by powers they do not fully understand. Over time, their lives become more intricately enmeshed in a dance of love, joy, deceit, heartbreak, and magic. Author Morgenstern knows her world inside and out, and she guides the reader with a confident hand. The setting and tone are never less than mesmerizing. The characters are well-realized and memorable. But it is the Night Circus itself that might be the most memorable of all. --Chris Schluep

Waging a fierce competition for which they have trained since childhood, circus magicians Celia and Marco unexpectedly fall in love with each other and share a fantastical romance that manifests in fateful ways.

ALGIERS, Algeria (January 21, 2013)--Two Canadian nationals were among the band of al-Qaeda-linked militants who stormed a natural gas complex and took hundreds of workers hostage, Algeria's prime minister, Abdelmalek Sellal, said Monday.
Sellal did not say Monday whether the Canadians were among the 29 militants killed by Algerian forces that stormed the site, or the three who were captured alive.
At least 37 hostages died in the attack and five more are unaccounted for, according to Algeria.
The dead include seven Japanese citizens, Japan said Monday.
The militants said during the four-day standoff that their band included people from Canada, and hostages who escaped recalled hearing at least one of the militants speaking English with a North American accent.
Sellal also said Monday a former driver at the complex was among the militants.

Who's ready for more casting scoop? Well, you're in luck, because here's a bunch of the most recent pilot news!
-Matthew Perry's CBS 'Odd Couple' pilot has cast 'Sean Saves the World's Thomas Lennon as Felix Ungar, a neat freak whose compulsion to live in an orderly and perfect environment alienates pretty much everyone in his life. Perry will play easygoing Oscar Madison, in addition to co-writing and exec-producing the reboot.
-John Cho ('Star Trek,' 'Sleepy Hollow') has booked the male lead in ABC's comedy pilot, 'Selfie.' In the comedy that's a modern take on 'My Fair Lady,' Cho will play the self-assured, successful marketing expert Henry, who sets out to "remarket" the pilot's leading lady Eliza Dooley (Karen Gillan).
-ABC's Richard Lagravenese 'Dangerous Liaisons'-esque pilot has added Oded Fehr ('Covert Affairs,' 'NCIS'). Set in New York, the untitled project revolves around the love and rivalry between two powerful socialites, Philip Fitzgerald Julien (Rufus Sewell) and Margot Worth Cole. Fehr will play Anderson Cole, Margot's billionaire ex-husband working on trophy wife No. 4. The project also stars Katie Holmes.
-Two 'Royal Pains' stars are joining TBS' pilot 'Your Family or Mine,' The Hollywood Reporter has learned. Kyle Howard and Kat Foster will play married couple Oliver and Kelli, who quickly realize they didn't just marry one another, but married both of their families. The series will alternate episodes between Oliver and Kelli's families. Danny Comden ('Dirt') and Andrew Lees ('Dance Academy') also star in recurring roles.
-'Enlisted' actor Geoff Stults has booked the lead role in CBS' odd couple comedy pilot 'Cuz-Bros,' from 'Happy Endings' David Caspe and Erik Sommers. It focuses on Stults' Nick, a suave ladies man and Los Angeles TV sportscaster. Quickly, his life is turned upside down when his mess of a cousin needs a place to stay. This role will be in second position to Stults' current gig on FOX's 'Enlisted,' which if renewed means 'Cuz-Bros' will find a new leading man.
-S. Epatha Merkerson ('Law & Order') has joined NBC's 'Babylon Fields' pilot. She's nabbed the recurring role of Pearl Montoya, stepmother to Janine (Meagan Good). Originally developed and piloted at CBS, NBC is bringing back the project focusing on a town where residents are coming back from the dead.

I would like to create a jukebox cd that I can play into my car. On Windows, Roxio software is used. A jukebox cd is a cd that has several folders and a supported filesystem type (the cd player of my car can read the ones created by Roxio). If I create a data cd using Brasero then the audio cd player of my car can't read the files. I suppose it has something to do with the filesystem type that is used by Brasero (data cd).
May be the correct option for you is the 'Audio project' when using Brasero. When selecting the type of project in Brasero, select 'New Audio Project', then drag and drop the required audio tracks to the project folder and then burn the disc. Hope this helps.
I have tested the result and it can be played in the mp3 cd player of my car.

AbstractToolkits for Artificial Intelligence (AI) are increasingly being used in government and industry. If such systems have access to sensitive information, it is important to know their security properties. A toolkit may contain low-level flaws, such as buffer-overrun errors that allow an attacker to gain control of the host system. Or, there may be flaws in the rule base of a system implemented with the toolkit that allow unauthorized access to sensitive information. We propose the detailed study of the security properties of CLIPS, a widely used expert-system shell in two parts. The first part will be a detailed analysis of the source code of the system using static analysis tools and other methods to find low-level flaws. The second part will be a study of the CLIPS language and the exploration of static and dynamic approaches to create secure CLIPS programs. A promising approach is to model the CLIPS system as a weighted push down system, and to use model-checking techniques to implement a range of security analyses, including termination analysis and information flow. The results will include a design for a tool to be prototyped in Phase II, and guidelines on how to write a secure CLIPS specification.

COLLEGE STATION, Texas- The 25th-ranked Texas A&M women's tennis team opened its spring season in convincing fashion, defeating both Texas State and Houston by identical 7-0 scores today at the George P. Mitchell Tennis Center.
"We walked into today's match with the theme of taking no prisoners," A&M coach Bobby Kleinecke said. "We wanted to take care of everything and go out there and control from the first game on. I'm proud of the fight everyone showed while taking care of their courts."
The Aggies breezed through the doubles matches against the Bobcats in the morning match, taking less than 45 minutes to notch wins on all three courts. Senior Tiffany Clifford (Little Rock, Ark.) and freshman Christi Liles (Largo, Fla.) were unbeatable at the No. 1 line, shutting down Lainy Chafitz and Andrea Giraldo, 8-0.
Senior Anna Blagodarova (Toronto, Ontario) and sophomore Michelle Sammons (Durban, South Africa) clinched the doubles point for the Aggies with an 8-2 victory over Ashley Ellis and Ali Gulida at the No. 2 line. Christina Amo (Fort Worth, Texas), who transferred from Texas State, and senior Marisa Druss (Austin, Texas) completed the sweep for the Aggies with an 8-3 win against Natalie McLeod and Sumarie Muller at the No. 3 line.
"I felt really good in the doubles," Kleinecke said. "We have been working hard on just being steady and not trying to be flashy when we don't need to be. We played a great three doubles matches, and it carried over into the singles."
The Aggies cruised in the singles matches, winning in straight sets on five courts. Freshman Morgan Frank (Oldsmar, Fla.), who joined the team in January, didn't drop a game as she routed Gulida, 6-0, 6-0, at the No. 4 line to put A&M up, 2-0.
"Morgan really stepped it up a lot," Kleinecke said. "I feel like she is going to be a very smart and competitive player, and we are going to see her best in matches. Right now we are still testing her out to see exactly where she belongs."
Blagodarova got an easy 6-1, 6-0 win against Giraldo at No. 1, and Druss defeated Muller, 6-3, 6-1, at No. 5 to clinch the match for A&M. Liles finished off Ellis, 6-1, 6-3 at No. 2, and Sammons notched a 6-3, 6-1 victory over Chafitz at No. 3 to put A&M ahead, 6-0.
The only suspense of the match occurred on Court 6, where Amo dropped her first set, 6-2, to Jennifer Nowland but came from behind to take the second set, 6-4. With the overall match already determined, the two played a 10-point tiebreaker. Amo jumped out to a 5-0 lead and never looked back in the 10-1 win to complete the shutout against her former school.
"It was good for her to work through some adversity," Kleinecke said about the former Bobcat. "She just kept fighting and fighting and did great under pressure at the end when that match was on the line."
The Aggies came back later in the afternoon and once again dominated the doubles by taking all three matches against Houston. The freshman duo of Stephanie Davidson (Fair Oaks Ranch, Texas) and Frank trounced Isabella Glinska and Vicky Simpson, 8-0, at the No. 3 line. Blagodarova and Sammons secured the doubles point, as they followed with an 8-3 win against Leila Salek and Lynley Wasson on Court 2.
Clifford and Liles were tied at 4-4 with Lucy Forward and Jordan McCombs before the Aggie pair began to pull away at the No. 1 line. Clifford and Liles went on to an 8-5 win to keep the Aggies undefeated in doubles matches.
Frank continued her torrid pace in singles, extending her game-winning streak to 24 after smoking Neila Starratt, 6-0, 6-0, at the No. 5 spot. Liles put A&M up 3-0 against the Cougars with a 6-3, 6-3 victory against Forward at No. 2. Sammons then clinched the match with a 6-3, 6-3 win against Joanna Kocprzyk at the No. 4 line.
"The match was exactly what I felt we were going to have," Kleinecke said. "I knew that Houston was a tough team in the sense that they got every ball back. They did not beat themselves. They don't hit the ball real hard, and that is an adjustment you have to make. It is tougher to come away with the win because you don't get any pace from the other side to help you with your pace, but I felt like we competed very well."
The Aggies had clinched the victory before Blagodarova and Salek had completed their first set at Court 1. Salek had led 4-1 in the opening set, but Blagodarova came back to take a 6-5 lead. Salek evened the set at 6-6 to force a tiebreaker, which Blagodarova easily won, 7-2. Blagodarova then cruised to a 6-1 second-set win to complete the straight-set victory and give the Aggies a 5-0 lead.
The remaining two matches were decided by a 10-point tiebreaker, with the Aggies winning both to secure the shutout. Davidson won her first set, 6-3, against Simpson at No. 6, but Simpson came back to take the second set, 6-4. With the tiebreaker tied at 8-all, Davidson won the next two points to clinch the win.
At the No. 3 line, Clifford and Wasson split the first two sets with Clifford taking the first set, 6-2. Wasson came back from a 5-4 deficit to tie the second set at 6-6 and force a tiebreaker. Wasson jumped out to a 6-1 lead in the tiebreaker en route to a 7-3 win. She went on to take a 3-1 lead in the super tiebreaker before Clifford rallied and took the lead at 4-3. Clifford never trailed the remainder of the match, taking the tiebreaker, 10-6.
"That is going to pay off," Kleinecke said about the tiebreakers. "You need to get into situations that are going to help you. That is what we are trying to do at this time of the year is to learn as much as we can so that when you are called upon to win the team match, you are there. You've got that experience."
The Aggies played both matches without Elze' Potgieter, who led the Aggies with 28 singles victories last year. The sophomore is in Estonia competing for South Africa in the prestigious Fed Cup.
"The whole lineup was changed without her," Kleinecke said. "Elze would have been up at No. 1, but this was a day where we wanted to get a lot of people playing and different people in. That was a goal, and we were able to do that."
Potgieter will be back next week when the Aggies begin a six-match road swing. The first stop will be at Rice on Wednesday. First serve against the Owls is at 1:30 p.m. at Jake Hess Tennis Stadium in Houston.
"Rice is a talented team," Kleinecke said. "It is a team where you've got to be ready to play. They hit the ball more than Houston does, so I think we'll be a little bit more comfortable in that area. They are going to be a good team, and it will be a good test for us again."

The game hits its stride late, but when it does, it hits it big. There's a lot of fun here for the patient gamer.
This is an incredibly slick package, and not just on the surface, either. On Tour tightens up a lot of the underlying course designs and gameplay mechanics, and it quickens the pace without betraying the fundamentals of SSX.
Offers enough newness for a purchase, but fans that have been there from the beginning might begin to wonder when the series will take that next step in evolution.

It's a great game in the same way its predecessor -- "SSX 3" -- was a great game. It is not, however, a great game in the same way "SSX Tricky" was before that -- that is to say, it won't go on to be one of the greats.

Sep 14, 2014Reviewers should play the games they're reviewing more thoroughly before writing. In the case of this game it's a real shame that it seemsReviewers should play the games they're reviewing more thoroughly before writing. In the case of this game it's a real shame that it seems most reviewers only had criticisms which really limits the future of the SSX series.
It's so strange the world we live in... On game before on SSX 3 everybody & every magazine was practically putting it as the top game of the year. Even on YT where the real gamers review they all love it but then comes this one and it's made by the same team & it scores lower.
At first I felt this wasn't as good but I kept playing into it to see what & why the developers did what they did & I can reassure you this one doesn't ever feel as vibrant and neon as SSX 3 but a lot of traces of that game come up in ON TOUR once you get past the first few events.
A little in and you'll be going down hills with colorful lighting & this time lots of fireworks & big screens showing your character & you'll remember the SSX you love.
Style: It doesn't run in progressive scan like SSX3 & your characters are smaller so you don't see them as much. SSX3 had lots of personality because your characters were pre made with voice actors, they'd speak while you're racing along with the DJ always talking. The game felt alive. In this new game it feels more vague. You can't pick out the details on your character while moving, they don't really talk or have distinct personas. I think the developers failed to realize that the characters made the game. Yes in this one you can create your own but it's very much based in reality with even name brand stuff like Burton but that doesn't always translate well into a video game.
What I do like is the inclusion of pedestrian traffic. This is big because most people never realized playing the old game that you were alone on the mountain until you entered into a race.
In this game there's skiers, children, people falling down, doing their own thing the whole time & in FREE RIDE MODE ( which a lot of reviewers were stupid and didn't read the instruction manual that tells you it's accessible from the quick play menu) you can still pick a peak and snowboard down the whole mountain with no loading.
Gameplay: Lots to unlock in this game. Different paths to take when FREE RIDING down the mountain. Purchasing abilities now is now a point system but actual abilities like in an action adventure game and it costs a lot of money so it extends the game. What people will notice is the game moves much faster, along with the ability to boost like in SSX3 but in ON TOUR it really speeds you up & the screen does a cool blur effect.
Overall it's going to preference between SSX3 or ON TOUR. I like the music in ON TOUR and also the more interactive mountain. I like the speed also. But SSX3 has the cool characters and colorful higher resolution visuals that pulls me in. Both are good but probably for most people the favor is leaning towards SSX 3.
Regardless if you were a fan of the series don't miss this one. It's heavily influenced by Guitar Hero I think but as a game it's still as solid & also an improvement in terms of gameplay over SSX3. It just loses some character in exchange for build your own set up.… Expand

The Ai can constantly mess up your runs by crashing into you, and the game just feels too dirty and "punk" to stand up to hype.
Overall, while still a decent title with improved graphics, it is at most a decent entry into the ssx franchise, but not really what we were expecting.… Expand

Here is the route of the 2009 Tour de France, which was unveiled Wednesday in Paris. ESPN.com's Bonnie D. Ford weighs in on the race's key stages:
July 4: Stage 1
• Monaco-Monaco, individual time trial, 15 kilometers (9.3 miles)
Ford's take: Riders will start their engines on a hilly, technical 9.3-mile time trial course that will cover some of the same asphalt as the famous Monte Carlo Grand Prix.
July 5: Stage 2
• Monaco-Brignoles, 182 km (113.1)
July 6: Stage 3
• Marseille-La Grande Motte, 196 km (121.8)
July 7: Stage 4
• Montpellier-Montpellier, team time trial, 38 km (23.6)
Ford's take: Return of the team time trial after an absence of three years. That's a horror movie for some teams and a boon for the more skilled squads who have longed to see the event restored to the Tour itinerary. In a break with recent practice, there will be no arbitrary limitations on time gained or lost in this stage.
July 8: Stage 5
• Le Cap d'Agde-Perpignan, 197 km (122.4)
July 9: Stage 6
• Gerona-Barcelone, 175 km (108.7)
July 10: Stage 7
• Barcelona-Andorra, Arcalis, 224 km (139.2)
Ford's take: The longest stage of the race starts at sea level and culminates with a climb that starts gradually almost 30 miles from the finish and ends at over 7,200 feet of altitude. The last time this mountain was featured in the Tour route, Jan Ullrich soloed his way to a stage win in 1997.
July 11: Stage 8
• Andorre-la-Vieille-Saint-Girons, 176 km (109.4)
Ford's take: Three major climbs in the Pyrenees before a downhill finish 109 miles from the start.
July 12: Stage 9
• Saint-Gaudens-Tarbes, 160 km (99.4)
Ford's take: The formidable Col du Tourmalet is smack in the middle of this 99-mile stage. Riders will give thanks for the upcoming rest day as they pass through Lourdes on the way to the finish.
July 13: Rest day
• Limoges
July 14: Stage 10
• Limoges-Issoudun, 193 km (119.9)
July 15: Stage 11
• Vatan-Saint-Fargeau, 192 km (119.3)
July 16: Stage 12
• Tonnerre-Vittel, 200 km (124.3)
July 17: Stage 13
• Vittel-Colmar, 200 km (124.3)
Ford's take: This is one of those middling mountain mousetraps the Tour course designers like to set for the peloton, much as they did in the Massif Central this year. The up-and-down path through the Vosges range could be tricky as teams jockey for position. Sprinters, with little left to race for on the road ahead, drop out in droves around now.
July 18: Stage 14
• Colmar-Besancon, 199 km (123.7)
July 19: Stage 15
• Pontarlier-Verbier, 207 km (128.6)
July 20: Rest day
• Verbier
July 21: Stage 16
• Martigny-Bourg-Saint-Maurice, 160 km (99.4)
Ford's take: Call this stage Twin Peaks, with two major Alpine mountain passes in the middle.
July 22: Stage 17
• Bourg-Saint-Maurice-Le Grand Bornand, 169km (105)
Ford's take: Five categorized climbs over 99 miles in the Alps come before the short uphill finish that has led to some great racing in previous editions of the Tour.
July 23: Stage 18
• Annecy-Annecy, individual time trial, 40 km (24.9)
Ford's take: The time trial that normally decides the race on the final weekend is placed on Thursday instead. Although it could give some contenders a chance to gain modest time, its short distance (just under 25 miles) and scheduling make it somewhat pre-climactic.
July 24: Stage 19
• Bourgoin-Jallieu-Aubenas, 195 km (121.2)
July 25: Stage 20
• Montelimar-Mont Ventoux, 167 km (103.8)
Ford's take: Prognosticators expected an uphill time trial to be slotted in on this day. Instead, the race leaders will face the hot, windswept and always diabolical climb up the barren "Giant of Provence" at the end of the road stage. This year's Tour was marked by a lack of initiative among the top contenders, but the placement of this stage should guarantee some last-minute attacks.
July 26: Stage 21
• Montereau-Fault-Yonne-Paris-Champs-Elysees, 160 km (99.4)
Race total: 3,445 km (2,141 miles)

Embellishing with Birds
Article Courtesy Scrapjazz.com: by Rachel Myerson
"No bird soars too high, if he soars with his own wings"
Humans have always been impressed with birds. Not only do they fly, they also look beautiful. Recently, images of these beautiful creatures are being used to embellish our scrapbook pages and cards.
There are so many ways to use birds as embellishments. One obvious way is to use patterned papers with birds on them. My son loves birds, so I often use bird-themed papers in layouts about him. My dad loves birds too, so I thought this bird-themed paper from Jenni Bowlin studio would be appropriate for this layout about the two of them, even though the subject of the layout has nothing to do with birds. There are many other lovely bird-themed papers from Cosmo Cricket, Little Yellow Bicycle, BasicGrey, Webster's Pages, and other favorite manufacturers.
Stamps are another way to add birds to your layouts and cards. I enjoy coloring in my bird stamps when I use them on cards. Mary Eason used a bird and birdhouse stamp on this beautiful Christmas card.
Another way to add birds to a layout is to die-cut them. I like using Stickles to add sparkle to die-cut birds. On this card, I also used a pearl for the bird's eye.
There are also many bird-themed embellishments that can be added to layouts. On this layout, I used a Prima pebble with an image of a bird in addition to the bird die-cuts.
"A wise old owl sat on an oak; The more he saw the less he spoke; The less he spoke the more he heard; Why aren't we like that wise old bird?"
An owl is a very special bird, often used to symbolize wisdom. Therefore, it is a perfect choice for school and graduation layouts and card. Mary Eason made this owl-shaped graduation card. Fun titles and phrases can be added to owl cards and layouts by using the spelling "whoooo" as Mary did on this cute layout.
Birds are perfect embellishments on layouts about many different subjects. Next time you are looking for something new to add to your layouts, I hope you will consider trying bird embellishments.
"Birds fly over the rainbow, why then - oh why, can't I?"

Again this week my card was hacked into again, and the charges were from the UK ! I had called in within hours of the fraud, as I had checked my balance. I spoke to several people and they all had a different story. It is so frustrating because you are trying to get important information, and you cant understand them. I have a feeling it is like that for a reason. I spoke to their fraud dept, called the green team. I was assured that they had reversed all the charges, because they were all still in a pending status.
I called yesterday to see if they had sent out my new card, and they had not mailed it till 2 days after they said they would. I had no access to any money at this point. They said it would take 7-10 days. So I asked them to send one overnight, as this was their fault. They said yes if I paid 35.00 !
Upon talking to someone new, she told me I could pick one up at my local H&R Block ! When I went to H&R block to get one, they said ony can give you one when the manager was there. The woman I talked to said she would never get one of those cards, and she tells her clients not to get one ! So she said it was my fault for getting the card in the first place ! OMG
I waited 4 days to be told this. Bottom line is they would only return some of them. They now say that one actually did go thru and I have dispute. The fraud was commited in the UK. How the heck am I supposed to fight that??? International phone calls ? This is supposedly an FDIC company, gauranteed to return funds in 24 hours. The amt of money stolen from me was 788.00 !
These people are liars and cheats. They dont know their jobs, nor do they care what happens to their customers. I have been hung up on several times by reps that do not want to deal with the issue. They wont return the money, as they want to keep it in there system to gain interest. Please someone rally with me, and bring this to light to the public. It's tax time, so they will be doing this to a lot of people.

We aren't allowed to bring any food into the church outside of the red eggs, the eucharist and blessed bread.
So, is this just a local custom or is there an actual "rule" forbidding bringing meat into the church?
I haven't seen anyone take any boiled wheat, oil or wine outside the Eucharist into the church. That doesn't mean it isn't allowed, just that no one does it. I know that when it comes to blessing baskets of food we do it downstairs in the fellowship area.

Ex-Titans Coach Fisher Says He Has Agreed to Lead St. Louis Rams
Jeff Fisher says he has picked the St. Louis Rams for his next head coaching position, a year after being fired by the Tennessee Titans.
"I'm really excited that the Rams are the best fit for me," Fisher told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch. "I hope I'm the best fit for the Rams, and am looking forward to finalizing the details and coming to work."
Dolphins owner Stephen Ross said in a statement posted on his team's website that Miami also had discussions with Fisher about that club's head coaching vacancy.
"The process has been lengthy, but for good reasons," Fisher told the Post-Dispatch yesterday. "I took a lot of time looking at and exploring in detail the non-economic issues of both clubs."
Fisher, 53, will take over a team that finished 2-14 this season and failed to reach the National Football League playoffs for the seventh consecutive year. He will replace Steve Spagnuolo, who was fired this month after winning 10 games in three years.
Fisher coached the Titans franchise from 1994 to 2010, leading the team to six playoff berths, four division titles and a Super Bowl appearance after the 1999 season. In 17 years as a head coach, he is 142-120 in the regular season and 5-6 in the playoffs.
The Rams fired Spagnuolo and General Manager Bill Devaney after a two-win season that gained them the second pick in the NFL Draft in April. The team hasn't had a winning season since 2003.

We should want best for country
Published: Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 11:04 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, May 29, 2008 at 11:05 a.m.
To The Editor: A letter Sunday referred to mountain values as just another wedge.
When we native North Carolinians speak of mountain values, we refer to our heritage the Scotch, Irish and Germans who settled here and the values they taught their children and their children taught theirs and so on.
Mountain values arent any better than those of other states, just unique to the North Carolina mountains.
The writer refers to an article in which Robert Danos of the Republican Party said Heath Shuler voting as a superdelegate for Hillary Clinton doesnt reflect our mountain values.
When we native North Carolinians go back to our heritage, we have to ask what could Congressman Shuler be thinking?
We the people elected Shuler to represent us in Washington. I suspect hes regularly caught between a rock and hard place.
The wedge really is the divide caused by the two party system where each points their finger at the other and nothings accomplished.
Our representatives need to hear from us on a regular basis that we want what is best for America first, last and always.
The system in Washington is broken. Only We The People can cause it to be repaired.

Out-Law.com reports about a lawsuit filed in Florida involving meta tags.
From the post:
A biopharmaceutical firm that distributes plasma derivatives has sued a rival, alleging that Health Coalition Inc. used the trade marked name BDI Blood Diagnostics as a meta tag in its web site source code, according to a report by Law.com.
According to Law.com, the new lawsuit was filed after Blood Diagnostics discovered that search engines were listing Florida-based Health Coalitions web site in the top 10 of search results for Blood Diagnostics. A forensic examination of the rival distributors site ensued, revealing that trade marked terms relating to Blood Diagnostics and four other biopharm companies were contained in the source code of the site.

[Watch] Here's What Happens When Your Side Chick Crashes Your Wedding
It's a scene out of a Tyler Perry movie.

The 1963 March on Washington was Katrina MacRae's first brush with history, but certainly not her last.
"I was just 5 years old when my parents brought me to the original march and that memory locked in my brain," said MacRae, who attended the march commemorating the event with her children, Justin and Jayden.
Fifty years ago, MacRae, 55, a benefits specialist for Lockheed Martin, understandably didn't realize how important the occasion was, but became increasingly aware of it as she grew up.
"And now that I have children, I wanted them to come down and be part of history as well," the native Washingtonian said.

The Illinois Fighting Illini and the Kansas Jayhawks have scheduled a home-and-home football series for 2023 and 2024, both schools announced today.
In the first game of the series, Kansas will host Illinois at Memorial Stadium in Lawrence on Sept. 9, 2023. The Fighting Illini will host the second and final game of the series at their own Memorial Stadium in Champaign on Sept. 7, 2024.
"This series with Kansas is another great addition that fits in with our scheduling philosophy," Illinois Director of Athletics Mike Thomas said. "We have set out to schedule games against some outstanding institutions and I feel like we've done that with home-and-home series finalized for North Carolina, South Florida, Virginia and now Kansas."
Illinois and Kansas last met in Champaign in 1968. The Jayhawks won that game 47-7, but the Illini lead the overall series 3-2.
"I am really pleased to add Illinois to our schedule," said Kansas football head coach Charlie Weis. "This series gives us another opportunity to play a game in an important area to our recruiting efforts. Additionally, it's a chance to accommodate our large alumni base in the Chicago area."
Both games are the first announced non-conference contests for Illinois and Kansas for the 2023 and 2024 seasons.
News of a potential series between the two schools first surfaced in October when the Big Ten accidentally posted a future non-conference schedule document online. The document listed the series as Sept. 7, 2019 at Kansas and Sept. 19, 2020 at Illinois. Obviously, those dates were changed to 2023 and 2024.
Football Schedules
Nice photo of the crowd at that game……..Appy. St gets more folks for their equipment distribution day in August……
Looks like a pic from a spring game. Notice how thin each sideline is and the lack of a band.
These two teams are so bad that the loser of the game should get a one suspension of play. let's hope that another 56 years passes before they play each other again.
Sorry, I meant that to be a one year suspension of play (a mini death penalty). I was so excited at the prospect of this 2 game series that I was careless in my typing. Just think, the starting quarterbacks in this game are in the second to the fifth grade.
A lot can change in ten years, both these teams were in BCS games in 2008. Thanks for your opinion guy.
They deserve each other. Winner will be who can draw fewer fans to their home stadium.
Kasey seems a little upset. Relax, Kasey. The odds are that one of them may be back in a bowl game in 15-20 years.
I really don't understand the hater parade here. Things go up and down quickly in college football.
Dave: Illinois had gone two years without a bowl win, they will be back shortly.
If this match up was next year it would be an awful game, but in ten years it could certainly be an exciting series.

What are the downsides to enabling & using WMI to remotely manage IIS? I plan to have a specific user account (non-admin) with only Execute Methods, Enable Account, and Remote Enable WMI permissions on the root\MicrosoftIISv2 namespace. It will be used primarily to recycle various app pools, no changing any settings.
Are there any other security or performance concerns I need to be aware of with this solution? Accessing WMI can only be done over our VPN, and only either Admins or this heavily restricted account have access to WMI. Is there anything I'm missing?

Hi, I just did a fresh install and clicked on the xhtml validator and was given the following error:
"Line 87, column 8: end tag for "ul" which is not finished
Most likely, You nested tags and closed them in the wrong order. For example
... is not acceptable, as
must be closed before
Another possibility is that you used an element
(e.g. 'ul') which requires a child element
(e.g. 'li') that you did not include. Hence the parent element is "not finished", not complete."
I think the problem area is near the
<li id="categories"><?php _e('Categories:'); ?>
section and all the nested lists...
I have allready set this up and fit it to the web sites look and feel in the past and went through a lot of validation efforts and finally got it to validate, so when I just did a fresh install and made no changes to the install, I decided to see if it would validate and that is when I got the above errror.
Any ideas?

I have posted 11 blogs with no issues. Yesterday when I went into my admin account at WordPress I saw a button offering a version upgrade to 2.9.1. I clicked on the button, it started to do something, then I got disconnected, and now the link to my blog doesn't work.
Can anyone tell me what happened? what I did wrong? How do I restore my WordPress account so that people can visit my blog again?

"Need a horse? Hit a horse!" Top 5 Page for this destination Isla de Vieques Local Custom Tip by PA2AKgirl
Isla de Vieques Local Customs: 4 reviews and 3 photos
Now, I don't know how accurate this is, but I have seen the horses, I have seen the damage to the vehicles, and I have seen people claim the horses as their own, tie them up to their cars, to their porches, ride them into town, everything. Oh, I've seen it all when it comes to wild horses in Vieques (not true, I just wanted to sound like an authority on all things equestrian)
Point of this tip is, rumor has it, if you hit a horse while driving on the road, and it's not branded, you can claim it. I don't know how easy it is to train a wild horse (would the word still be feral? or is that just in reference to cats?) but I can't imagine it's a simple task. Lots of sayings about wild horses (well, I know of one, really) and they seem pretty strong willed.
I thought about it and it would be hard to get the horse home if I traveled to PR and hit a horse while driving in Vieques. I wonder if the same thing applies with the wild cattle that are all over the place there.
But, just remember, the option is there if you hit a horse while driving on the road in Vieques.

I have an existing WP that is self-hosted. I have set up a new version as the database is a bit messed up and it really needs re-installing. My question is whether or not to just set up a forward to the new directory, which in this case is domain.com/2013 or do I export the new site locally, delete the old site and re-install at root and import eh new XMLs etc?
My main issue is that I don't really want any down time as we get booking online and this could cause problems.
Any ideas as to the best way forward?

The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.
— Henry Kissinger

Why should rape victims care about drug policy? Why should the families of rape victims, or potential rape victims, care about drug policies?
Do you care about women? Do you care about women's rights? Did you know that many rapists don't just rape one woman, but often rape others too?
In their press release dated 2009-03-31, "US: Los Angeles County Should Test Thousands of Rape Kits," Human Rights Watch quotes from their report, "Testing Justice." They found 12,669 rape kits had been untested.
Of these 12,669 untested kits, at least 1,218 are from unsolved cases in which the attacker was a stranger to the victim. And 499 kits are attached to cases past the 10-year statute of limitations for rape in California, making it impossible to prosecute the alleged assailants even if they were to be identified. Under California law, if those 499 kits had been opened within two years of the attack, the statute would no longer apply. Thousands more rape kits were destroyed untested.

At their website you can read more details and watch some video.
Ask yourself this, "which is a real crime?" Raping someone or smoking a joint with some friends? Where would you rather your tax dollars be spent? Training and hiring people to process rape kits, or buying munitions to invade and trash other countries and our own? Killing family pets and innocent victims in the process.
In February 2009, Kathleen Parker, at the Washington Post wrote a story, "Snap, Crackle, Pot," in which she points out a Human Rights Watch report from 2008. Ms. Parker wrote "as many as 400,000 rape kits containing evidence were sitting unopened in criminal labs and storage facilities." With nearly 12,000 rape kits unopened in Los Angeles alone (Los Angeles Police Department and Los Angeles County Sheriff's Office).
NOW, on PBS, recently re-aired a show they first ran 2009-04-24, entitled "Justice Delayed," where they delve in to this disturbing issue. You can watch this episode on the ChristiansAgainstProhibition.org website.
Those signing the checks say, "so sorry ladies. Our War on Drugs is more important than you. Funding our enormous and ever-expanding War on Drugs and the Prohibition Industrial Complex takes precedence over your feelings and alleged rape. Just try to put it out of your mind that whoever allegedly raped you is probably prowling for others too.
"As long as there are fewer victims of rape than the large crowds of self-righteous chest-thumpers who hate marijuana, mushrooms, peyote, and other all natural, unadulterated plants — and the intelligent ending of drug prohibition in general — we've got to continue to ignore you because, frankly, it costs a lot to prosecute this War on Drugs."
Reasons and benefits of ending Drug Prohibition abound on this website. You can find much more information at Law Enforcement Against Prohibition, and Drug War Facts. Also see the links in the sidebar under "Explore More" for even more relevant links.
Heavenly Father, please comfort those who have been raped. Please lead the rapists to repentance so they rape no more. Please bless our leaders with the wisdom to end the religion of hate against the plants you put here for us. Please help those who indulge too much in any of your blessings to the point where it harms them. Please help us help others who reach out to us for help instead of trying to beat them into submission by forcing our wills on them. Please motivate people to write their elected leaders, talk to neighbors, and more, to end this War on Drugs quickly and intelligently.

Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in web applications that enables malicious attackers to inject client-side script into web pages viewed by other users. An exploited cross-site scripting vulnerability can be used by attackers to bypass access controls such as the same origin policy.
Cross-site scripting (XSS) is a type of computer security vulnerability typically found in Web applications.
In a typical XSS attack the hacker infects a legitimate web page with his malicious client-side script. When a user visits this web page the script is downloaded to his browser and executed. There are many slight variations to this theme, however all XSS attacks follow this pattern, which is depicted in the diagram below (Ref).
An attacker can use XSS to send a malicious script to an unsuspecting user. The end user's browser has no way to know that the script should not be trusted, and will execute the script. Because it thinks the script came from a trusted source, the malicious script can access any cookies, session tokens, or other sensitive information retained by your browser and used with that site. These scripts can even rewrite the content of the HTML page.
