SummaryShakespearean drama in an FPS outfit
The GoodTribes: Vengeance was made by some of the same people who gave us the great System Shock 2; its story was also written by Ken Levine. That was what attracted me to this game.
First of all: I haven't played the multiplayer part of the game. Tribes: Vengeance is an installment of a multiplayer-only series, with the single-player mode probably conceived as a bonus initially. When you say Tribes, you think multiplayer FPS, and there's nothing we can do about it. So many single-player-oriented people missed this game simply because they didn't know it would deliver what they wanted.
But Tribes: Vengeance delivers, and delivers precisely as a story-driven experience. Hands down, the game has the best plot of any "pure" FPS I've ever played. From the very beginning you can observe the strength of the narrative, the well-written dialogue, the sharp characterization, the immaculate pace. It only gets better later; the beginning alone won't even let you suspect the amount of tension and plot twists that await you.
The narrative is a dramatic and ultimately tragic re-interpretation of the eternal themes: the ties of a human being to family, homeland, own social circle, which prevent him from understanding people with different backgrounds; the conflict between different feelings - loyalty, friendship, romantic love, etc. There is something very theatrical in the story; it even reminded me of Shakespeare's dramas, which I love with passion.
The fantastic idea of telling the story from the point of view of different protagonists adds a new layer of depth to it. It becomes particularly powerful when the characters in question belong to opposing camps. It was a bit like the Trinity Sight in Suikoden III, only better executed.
This technique also adds moral complexity to the narrative, making it an outstanding variation on the usual "good rebels against an evil empire" kind of thing. The main playable characters of the game are Imperials. You see many events from their point of view, including a brilliant episode when you control a little girl trying to escape from a palace captured by the Tribals. There is no way to sympathize with the Tribals in that scene. But other episodes show the injustices done by the Empire. It's really hard to decide who is "right" and who is "wrong" here; actually, it is unnecessary, since the story clearly carries one message (sad, in this case) - we are all human.
Tribes: Vengeance is a pure FPS, without any genre-crossing attempts such as environmental puzzles or upgrades or magic system or stealth or anything of the kind. Of course, there is plenty of variety in the action, different objectives (such as protecting important objects), fighting tanks, sniping, etc.; but all this ultimately boils down to the basics: here are your weapons, here is your goal; now go and fight.
But of course, that would be too simple if the game didn't have an absolutely cool gimmick. Yes, of course I'm talking about the jetpack. Having a jetpack means, basically, that you can fly. Really. Holding the right mouse button makes your character rise into the air. Of course, the energy you have is limited and has to be recharged, so you won't be able to stay in the air more than a few moments; but the ability to make absolutely gigantic jumps is exhilarating.
The game utilizes this gimmick to the full, and does it in two ways: first, many of the levels are huge outdoor areas that would have taken ages to traverse if you weren't just jumping through them like a giant grasshopper. Second, many indoor levels are vertically build, and often you'll descend into huge, seemingly bottomless pits, or jump your way up to the ceiling you can't even see from down below. I can't describe how fun it is to jump around with the jetpack; you really have to try it yourself.
By the way, you can play this game entirely from a third-person perspective. It's really cool to see your character flying around, and it makes jumping to the correct spot easier. The levels are not too complex, with clear objectives; the game concentrates more on pure adrenaline-raising action than on anything else. The weapons are ridiculously powerful, quite fitting the sci-fi setting, and overall this game stays true to its "robotic" roots; it feels more like a "mech" game that an ordinary FPS, even though technically you don't control robots.
There are also some very fun vehicles to drive (the red rover with a mounted gun was totally cool), and all kinds of action setpieces, like controlling mounted guns, turrets, vehicle cannons, and so on. One of the most intense parts of the game, for example, included defending a generator and some towers, destroying enemy tanks and piloting an aircraft in a very close succession. Such kind of action always gives you the feeling of not knowing what awaits you, making you prepare for more and more challenges; the tension is exciting, even when nothing is happening and you are just trying to guess what's coming next.
The action never feels repetitive. The balance between indoor and outdoor locations is perfect. The game is not as inventive as, for example, Half-Life 2, at throwing at you different challenges at every level; but nevertheless it comes close to that, and manages to make its levels feel less artificial.
The BadI wasn't very impressed by the game's graphics. There were no locations that made me go "wow" just because of their sheer graphical beauty. Even though there is a lot of variety in the locations, somehow they don't come to life entirely because of the graphics. Technically, they are probably not sub par, and there are many nice features such as destructible environments and a physics system; but artistically, they are not very convincing. There also isn't much attention to detail; many places look suspiciously similar, and some of them are simply cloned. That was really unnecessary, because the game doesn't even have a continuous world.
Also, the game's locations are stylistically not very interesting. Many of them have a "generic sci-fi" look, and in many of them the potential wasn't realized, like in the abandoned cities with the dwellings of the Tribals. Perhaps a few exploration-based areas with NPCs could have made the game's world more worthy of the rich lore it contains.
For such an intensely story-driven game, the ending was somewhat of a letdown. The very last chapter was in fact rather disappointing, considering the overall quality of the story. It had to be once again "stop the villain and everything will be okay" kind of thing. The dialogue lacked its usual poignancy and turned into the usual sarcastic exchange between the protagonist and the antagonist. I know I probably demand too much, but the rest of the narrative was utterly brilliant, while the final chapter was merely acceptable.

Days of '47 Parade filled with tradition, fun — and romance (+photos)
She ran in the Deseret News Classic 10K before the parade, and figured she might as well camp on the street the night before so she'd have a front row seat. Seeing the creative float designs, the people who are on TV, politicians and President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, second counselor in the First Presidency of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, "up close was worth it."
Of the 108 parade entries, several of floats won awards. The Sweepstakes Award and the People's Choice Award went to the Salt Lake Olympus Stake's float and the Children's Choice Award went to the float created by the Centerville South Stake.
The West Jordan River Stake's float won the Legacy Award, the Salt Lake Riverside Stake won the Theme Award, the BYU float won the Queen's Award, Bountiful North Stake's float won the Outstanding Animation Award, and the Salt Lake Granger South Stake float won the Daughters of the Utah Pioneers Award.
Other awards were given to Murray City float, which won the Brigham Young Award, West Valley City's float won the Hilda Erickson Award, Salt Lake East Millcreek Stake's float received the Utah Award, and the Riverton Stake's float won the Spirit of the Faith Award.
The Polynesian Cultural Center's float won the President's Award, Sandy Cottonwood Creek Stake's float won the Sons of the Utah Pioneer Award, the Chinese Society of Utah won the Mayor's Award, the Ensign Award went to the Midvale City's float, the Wal-Mart float won the Community Award, Herriman City's float won the Governor Award.

KANSAS CITY—Larry Jackson, director of football sports performance for the Texas A&M University football program, will be named Master Strength and Conditioning Coach by the Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa) on May 9 at the Downtown Kansas City Marriott.
This honor is the highest given in the strength and conditioning coaching profession, and the ceremony is undoubtedly the highlight of the association's National Conference each year. Master Strength and Conditioning Coach Jerry Schmidt from the University of Oklahoma will present Coach Jackson with the blue MSCC Jacket.
"This only solidifies what we've known for quite some time," Aggie head football coach Kevin Sumlin said. "Coach Jackson is one of the best in his profession. There has never been a question regarding the physical condition of our football teams."
"As a former Texas A&M and NFL football player, it is very personal to him," Sumlin added. "He understands how to train athletes to play the game of football."
In order to receive this certification and corresponding title of distinction, an individual must first meet the following criteria:
1) Hold a minimum of a bachelor's degree;
2) Be a currently practicing, full-time strength & conditioning coach on the collegiate or professional level;
3) Hold current membership in the Collegiate Strength & Conditioning Coaches association (CSCCa);
4) Hold the CSCCa Certification – SCCC (Strength & Conditioning Coach Certified); and
5) Have a minimum of 12 years experience as a full-time strength and conditioning coach on the collegiate and/or professional level.
"This is an incredible honor for Larry," says CSCCa Executive Director, Dr. Chuck Stiggins. "Being named a Master Strength and Conditioning Coach signifies a commitment to the student athlete, the Texas A&M Athletic Program, and the strength and conditioning profession. We are honored to have Coach Jackson as a member of our association and to have him join the ranks of the Master Strength and Conditioning Coaches. He is truly a model of an outstanding strength and conditioning professional."
Jackson, who came to Texas A&M as a defensive lineman and linebacker from Rockdale, was a four-year (1991-94) letterman and during his playing days the Aggies never lost a game on Kyle Field. Upon graduation in 1995, he played in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins.

Rather bad experience. When we arrived, staff at reception did not speak English or French. No big deal; but then we were given a room with three single beds, while I had booked for a double bed room (clearly written on my reservation). This was fixed on the second night. Also, no breakfast, while this was also supposed to be included according to reservation. There may be some sync issue between hostelworld and hotel, but I don't know and that's not my problem anyway. Staff smoke at the desk.

Worst Hotel experience so far. Room facing very busy street - cars and people, windows had to stay shut. However, room had been facing the sun for all day long (highs of 35 degrees), it was boiling, and the aircon was not working! The cheek of the receptionist, playing dumb he didn't know how to work the air-con remote, instead of admitting it was broken. And did not give us another room, lying about availability - although I could book another room through the website. Very dodgy location too

The directions to get to this hostel were a bit confusing, so we ended up taking a cab to the hotel. Once we got there we realized how easy it was to get there from the train station. The workers were very helpful telling us what we could do in Genoa and other information. The hotel is right across the street from the port which is nice but a bit far from the historical center. They had air condition which was great!!

I just bought and used a bottle of Liquid Plumber but I was just worried about whether the stuff might be able to corrode the rubbery seal under and around the top of the bathtub drain. I live on a second floor apartment and the walls of my shower are already corroded enough to leak below, but that was patched. I meanwhile have a lingering phobia of leaks and was just wondering if I should be concerned about this seal. I can visibly see the seal. My apartment--a condo which I "own"--is about 18 years old, as is this bathtub.
I think the answer is going to be "it depends on what that rubbery seal is actually made of" -- here's the quote from the Liquid Plumbr FAQ --
Is the part with the rubber seal removable? If so, remove it before you use the liquid plumbr.

Waste Management Australia is dedicated to helping Australian businesses improve their waste management service and reduce costs.
Waste management in Australia has until recently been dominated by large foreign owned waste collection companies who have very little regard for small to medium Australia businesses. We here of many stories where local Australian companies have been held to unfair contracts with ridiculous price increases and poor service.
Waste Management is our passion and as a small business ourself we appreciate our customers and we understand that we have to provide a better alternative. We provide business waste management services throughout Australia and we guarantee to reduce your existing waste collection costs.
Your accountant's dream: The ultimate costsaving waste management program
Waste management is crucial to your company's profitability, and to the environment. Simply look at your monthly waste bill with your accountant and you'll probably be amazed at how much your business throws away each month – not only in waste, but in cold hard cash.
It's a business issue which needs constant attention, though many companies just rely on a waste collection service instead of carefully considering the options to improve the way waste is handled.
Whether it's from your factory floor, your hospital, your office, your shop, your small business, or even coffee grounds and food waste from your restaurant or café, every wheelie bin or skip bin of discarded material is costing you money.
Here's a better way
Recycling and paperless offices are becoming more the norm in every type of business organisation.
This very important new direction for waste management is really your responsibility, but you will need expert assistance in getting your waste management under control and under budget.
Waste Management Australia is waste management consultancy with a difference, not only dealing with your waste more skilfully but consulting and advising you on the most efficient, cost-effect ways to develop a tailor-made waste management program, and thereby improve both your bottom line and the environment.
With efficient modelling of your waste management, we cover every aspect, from garbage removal, hazardous waste collections, and recycling of plastics, paper and cardboard. We also advise on how you can move toward a more streamlined and responsible production of waste within your organisation – like how to save paper and ink toner – and thereby save you money and help take pressure off the environment.
Waste Management Australia is unlike any other Waste Management company in that we manage your account through vetted local waste and recycling companies in all major cities in Australia who share our vision and expertise. All these companies offer state-of-the-art business waste management and recycling.
How to cut costs.
We average a 30% saving on business waste collection costs through expert modelling of your particular waste management needs. You pay for what you need, not just a blanket contract which may not meet all your requirements, or overreach what you really need.
We provide unmatched waste management services for businesses throughout Australia through our partnership with a number of local waste and recycling collection companies to provide a nation-wide service.

9 Words That Mean Something Else to Vegans
BLOG - 2 years ago
Because vegans LOVE hearing how you could never give up cheese or how you ate...
Hometown: Claremont, CA
About Me: I grew up in Southern California a punk rock sk*8r grrl in with an insane love of books, social issues, and the power of music. I have a rather impressive passport, an even better record collection, and the best chocolate tofu pie recipe under the sun!
I Like: Music, food, books, bowling, proper grammar, collecting vinyl records, hot tea, sea horses and bats (and all other animals too!), dinner parties, tattoos, trying new dessert recipes, and peta2.
I Hate: Cruelty, foam soap, racism and prejudice of every kind, nü-metal, apathy, and soggy pizza.
Favorite Bands: Against Me!, Mogwai, Cobra Skulls, Refused, Leftöver Crack, Wanda Jackson, The Dwarves, Bruno Mars, The Specials, Lucero, Morrissey, Detroit Cobras, American Steel, Skinny Puppy, Janelle Monae, The Lawrence Arms, Cancer Bats, Descendents, K'Naan, Saul Williams, William Elliott Whitmore, and a million others.
Favorite Books: The Jungle, Fight Club, Queen of Kings, Faking It: The Quest for Authenticity in Popular Music, The Prophet, Lord of the Rings, Mandela, Devil's Knot, Sex Drugs and Cocoa Puffs, Fast Food Nation.
Why I Went Veg: Years ago one of my favorite bands, Goldfinger, put out a new album with a CD-Rom music video (yes, it's been a long time!) that they had made for PETA. I'd never thought about how the animals I was eating every day made it to my plate but after watching "Free Me" and seeing what happens to animals on factory farms and in slaughterhouses, I immediately decided to go veg!
My Companion Animals: I'm way too much of a jetsetter right now to give a lovey dovey dog or cat all the attention they need, but I am a very proud "Aunt" to many adorable animals at my friend's/parent's/brother's houses. Plus, I volunteer at the local animal shelter where the lonely, homeless dogs and cats need the most love. :)
Favorite International Food: Vegan Poutine! This Canadian delicacy takes crispy French Fries and smothers them in gravy and tops it off with (vegan) cheese curds. There is nothing better!
My Most Embarrassing Moment: At lunch one day I bit into a cherry that was so juicy it squirted my friend in the eye in the middle of our conversation!
Little Known Fact: I am the French Fry Eating Champion of the World! In between our daily anti-fur demonstrations on a PETA tour through the Pacific North West, I challenged our Action Team Coordinator to a Fry-Off. It was a close race but I still managed to eat half a basket of fries more than him. I don't know if that title holds up everywhere, but I am definitely the French Fry Eating Champion of the World of THAT tour.
Favorite Quote: "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that." --Martin Luther King, Jr.

The developer of copyblogger encourages you to use the coded-in search and rss modules in the sidebar-which is fine-but I want my navigation module to display first. I can't seem to figure out how to do that. My text widget that I'm using for my navigation is at the top of my widget list, but the copyblogger search and rss still shows up on top.
Anybody know what I should do?

The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) was handed a beat down Friday at a Volkswagen factory in Chattanooga Tennessee. Workers at the VW factory voted against union representation, handing the UAW a devastating loss that derails the union's effort to organize auto factories in the South.
Southern auto workers reject union in a 712-626 vote, stunning many labor experts who expected a UAW win because Volkswagen tacitly endorsed the union and even allowed organizers into the Chattanooga factory to make sales pitches.
The loss is a major setback for the UAW. The union is pressing a major effort to make inroads in the South, where foreign automakers have built 14 assembly plants, eight built in the past decade. Experts believed that if unionization was going to work in the South, it would work here.
Unionizing a plant in the South is crucial to the union. UAW President Bob King told workers in a speech that unionizing the South is so crucial, the union has no long-term future without it.
The Volkswagen auto workers rejection of the UAW leaves the union with no foothold in the South, or with foreign manufacturers. This loss means the union will remain quarantined with the big three in Detroit.
Many viewed VW as the union's only chance to gain a crucial foothold in the South because other automakers have not been as welcoming as Volkswagen. Labor interests make up half of the supervisory board at VW in Germany, and they questioned why the Chattanooga plant is the only one without formal worker representation. VW wanted a German-style "works council" in Chattanooga to give employees a say over working conditions. The company says US law won't allow it without an independent union.
In Chattanooga, the union faced stern opposition from Republicans who warned that a UAW victory would chase away other automakers who might come to the region.
Senator Bob Corker of Tennessee was the most vocal opponent, saying that he was told that VW would build a new SUV in Chattanooga if workers rejected the union. That was later denied by a VW executive. Other politicians threatened to cut off state incentives for the plant to expand if the union was approved.
After 53 percent of the workers voted against his union, King said he was outraged at what he called "outside interference" in the election. He wouldn't rule out challenging the outcome with the National Labor Relations Board. "It's never happened in this country before that the US senator, the governor, the leader of the House, the legislature here, threatened the company with no incentives, threatened workers with a loss of product," King said. "We'll look at all our options in the next few days."
The UAW will have a hard time unionizing the South, regardless of what labor experts project. Southerners are more independent and have had the opportunity to observe union tactics for some time. They understand the harm unions cause, and don't want jobs quashed by unionization, as was the case with the Boeing factory in South Carolina. But, don't expect the well-funded union to give up on organizing Southern factories.


text: Hi all! We're planning a week long trip to both parks. We love to hike. We will probably be staying in lodges instead of camping. We are hoping to spend 3 days in Grand Teton then 4 days in Yellowstone. Are there any lodges you would suggest? Is a week enough? Any suggestions or comments would be appreciated. Thanks!

Workshop set for legal guardianship
Published: Saturday, April 1, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Saturday, April 1, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
ASHEVILLE -- What happens when children turn 18 years old and age out of the children's mental health care system and into the adult system? What are the rights and responsibilities of young adult children who are disabled due to mental illness, and what are the rights and responsibilities of their parents? Should parents seek guardianship, and what are the legal implications of doing so?
A workshop on legal guardianship will be held by WNC Families CAN from 5:30 to 7:30 p.m. Tuesday at 227 Edgewood Ave. in Asheville.
Gale Kirk will present this workshop on legal guardianship. Kirk is a founding member and former president of the N.C. Guardianship Association, and was employed as a guardian specialist for two years. She is the mother of a child with disabilities, and has worked as a case manager.
There is no charge for the workshop, but space is limited. To reserve a seat or to inquire about child care, call 779-1270 or 628-2122.

"Visit a Village on the Mono River" Grand-Popo Things to Do Tip by janiebaxter
Grand-Popo Things to Do: 10 reviews and 17 photos
We visited one of the small villages along the riverbank as part of our boat trip on the Mono River, as we couldn't get into the Mangroves to explore because the water level was too low for our boat. This village was called Avlo, with a population of 600, and as our boat approached the landing area the group of children standing on the bank watching us approach grew into a small crowd.
They followed us up the path into the village running around us and shouting. Obviously visitors are not so common here. At the entrance to the village we passed the Legba and a temple - signs that this village follow the traditional religion of Voodoo.
We entered the main village square where families were sitting and many children were running around. Our local guide who buys salt here talked to the villagers and introduced us. One lady was weaving a straw mat and another was selling bread. Most of the villagers were friendly, except for one lady who either didn't like me or didn't want visitors!
The children, as usual, all wanted their photograph taken and crowded around the camera. They always seem to think they need to get as close as possible to the camera to get a good picture. After a few attempts, we managed to get some reasonable photos of them and they were happy when they viewed them. The sticky hand prints were easily removed from the camera later with lense wipes! I gave out pens and sweets to the children and hair clips to the ladies and we watched the salt making then made our way back to the boat. On the way out we met the chief and some of his wives, and we stopped to shake hands and say hello.

San Diego-based Cytori Therapeutics (Nasdaq: CYTX) has consolidated its EU operations to a new European office combined with a manufacturing facility in Deeside, Wales, UK.
Relocation of Cytori's European offices from Switzerland to Wales and the expansion of manufacturing capabilities to the EU should reduce manufacturing costs over time and may facilitate broader regulatory approvals around the world.
Cytori's Welsh office will house EU-based customer service and will be increasingly responsible for ongoing manufacturing of current and future products sold in the EU and other markets such as China. The next generation Celution System, currently in development in San Diego, will also be manufactured in the UK.
The consolidation to Wales has also positioned Cytori to receive a number of government incentives. These incentives, part of the Welsh government's program to attract new business investment, are valued at up to £450,000 over several years and include property tax relief and defraying labor costs for a specified term. Cytori's Welsh office has completed the required medical device manufacturing certification audits, including those for ISO13485 and ISO 9001.

Two years on the trot that, although normally it's not presented until later in the season.I can't remember if it's a £20,000 or £200,000 prize, sadly I think it's the former but it's better than a slap in the face!I'm really proud of the fact that we pick up that, I think it's an important part of football. It's a bit sad that it needs an award to do it, but I like the fact that we've got the proof that we're an honest team and play - mostly - in the spirit of the the game. The fact that we managed to do that and pick up a separate trophy last season is a great claim.
Remember a few years back when we were looking to get that award to get us into Europe...this year the 6th place team in Fair Play got in (because we won the CC and some other stuff...so Citeh got in (I think it was them)

A year following a close call with a spooked giraffe during Charleston's Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony, city leaders have opted out of using animals during the event Saturday.
The near-mishap occurred when a giraffe tryied to break free from its handler in a crowded Marion Square, but that isn't the reason behind the change of heart, said Scott Watson, the director of the city's Office of Cultural Affairs, who organizes the ceremony.
"We looked at it with new eyes going into this year," Watson said.
Two years ago, the city used three camels during the holiday kickoff. Watson said he wanted to get away from that growing tradition and refocus the event.
"It's important to put the focus on the cultural component, which is something people can appreciate," he said. "Rather than it just be 'Who can sing 'Oh Holy Night' the nicest?' We're trying to use it as a showcase event for all the holiday events going on in the city."
Some of the logistics behind the tree-lighting ceremony also changed. The city previously produced the event in partnership with an outside production company, Watson said. This year the city is using the groups highlighting their holiday events to provide the entertainment.
Watson wasn't with the Cultural Affairs office when last year's giraffe incident happened, and said he simply had a new vision for the event, which did not include animal entertainment.
Spooked by spectacle
Despite the city's reasons, a representative for People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals was thrilled to hear the news. Last year, Kristin Simon, a senior cruelty caseworker from Norfolk, Va., called on Charleston to halt its use of live animals in such events, saying spectacles terrorize them and bring them too close to humans.
The comments were made after the 2-year-old giraffe began bucking like a bronco during a Santa Claus arrival skit last year. The giraffe apparently was spooked by flashing camera lights, the amplified sound of a carol-singer and explosive "pops" from white confetti shot into the air.
The giraffe came from a farm in South Carolina and appeared along with two zebras.
No one was reported injured, but some in the crowd said they were worried a potentially dangerous episode was in the making. Simon called a video of the event "very disturbing" and a "huge folly" on the part of the city. This year, Simon said the city has made the right choice to go animal-free.
"Animals exploited for entertainment live an unnatural and hellish existence. When stressed by lights and crowds, they could easily be distracted and injure onlookers," she recently told The Post and Courier. "We tip our hats to the city."
As for this year's entertainment, Watson said people won't be disappointed with a program featuring music and dance.
"I'm confident there will be great time," he said. "I am confident that people will come and enjoy themselves and if we're fortunate enough to have Santa coming, it will be a great evening."

Description: In recent decades Manassas had gone so far as to sell their home games to the highest bidder, but that all changed in the spring of 2004 when Bill Courtney, a former high school football coach turned lumber salesman, volunteered to lend a hand. When he arrived, the team consisted of 17 players, some timeworn equipment and a patch of grass masquerading as a practice field. Focusing more on winning young men than football games, the football program nevertheless began resurrecting itself and, in 2009, features the most talented team Manassas has ever fielded; a team that seems poised to end the playoff jinx that has plagued the school since time immemorial.

What can I say?
Republicants are like that.
Don't leave them alone near your kids ... especially that Rossi guy ...
rossi's a snake...his mother is tlingit but he's rejected her and the whole native community.
This, THIS, is what you come up for as news? That somebody conflates their relationship with somebody to help their record. That's called, oh wait, what was that word, I think I have it, oh yes: POLITICS.
Expecting a politician not to play politics is stupid and asinine.
"... commitment to serving others." Fish, in a barrel.
Well, of COURSE they are. That's what Republicans do.
And let's be honest here: raping a 13-year-old WITHOUT the use of muscle relaxants is just cruel.
I hope he lives to be 102 and never sees the sky again.
Voters tend to punish politicians for being candid. I'm not a Rossi fan, but it's hard to blame him for this one.
@6 - no. It's not.
It's one thing to (eventually) repudiate the words and actions of a former associate, business partner, colleague, friend, pastor, et al, but flat-out DENYING a relationship with someone, particularly when the public record clearly documents such a relationship, is about as dumb as it gets.
Buh-bye Dino, thanks for playing.
clarification: he wasn't a SU professor. He was a military science professor with ROTC, which is staffed by the Army. SU cannot hire or fire, nor do they pay, ROTC professors.
They can tell them to get the fuck off campus, though.
@10: He hadn't been on campus recently, but he did have a contract with SU, which was terminated immediately upon the news of his arrest (according to a friend at SU).
That's nice. They should have kicked him off campus the first time he showed up, though. That's what I was getting at. SU should bar ROTC professors altogether.
the WA state republican party is such a train wreck. Even if I was conservative I don't think I'd vote for 'em.
@ 5: oh my god. what are you talking about?

Design of a DSP-Based 27 Band Digital Equalizer
This paper describes a DSP-based digital graphic EQ which has been developed for the new PA-system at the Wembley-arena in London. A special EQ-topology has been used in order to avoid phase problems and interference between adjacent bands. The software control of all EQ-parameters, as well as for the integrated delay and fader function, together with a 24 bit (56 bit) processing wordlength, offer improved flexibility, fast switching-times between different EQ-settings, improved sound quality while also enabling the use of fiberoptic links.

Housing affordability has become a major economic and
political issue and the latest figures from interest.co.nz
will add fuel to the debate on how young New Zealanders will
finance their first home.
The March report from the Roost Home Loan Affordability
report says home loan affordability worsened across most of
New Zealand during the month at the fastest rate since
January 2002.
Median house prices and interest rates both started to rise
in the month.
A 6% rise in the national median house price in March from
February drove most of the deterioration.
The Reserve Bank's decision to raise the official cash rate
(OCR) by 0.25% on March 13 drove the rest of the increase in
borrowing costs measured in the reports.
The Reserve Bank is expected to lift interest rates again
tomorrow to 3%.
Banks passed on the increase in full to floating mortgage
borrowers and average fixed mortgage rates had risen around
0.7% in the past eight months in anticipation of the Reserve
Bank's tightening.
The central bank's imposition of a speed limit on low deposit
mortgages in October also cooled activity and prices in the
housing market in recent months, although medians continued
to rise, the Roost report said.
Roost home loans spokeswoman Colleen Dennehy said banks were
increasing their appetites to lend to both high-deposit and
low-deposit borrowers and brokers reported banks were
returning to the market in droves now they had adjusted to
the Reserve Bank's speed limits.
''The banks are back, looking for high loan-to-value
borrowers and are doing deals for those borrowers who are
well organised and argue their case well through a broker,''
she said.
The Roost report showed national affordability worsened to
63.3% in March from 58.8% in February after the national
median house price rose to $440,000 from $415,000 in
That was the largest increase in the borrowing costs
percentage since January 2002.
Average floating mortgage rates rose the full 0.25% to 6.01%
in March and the advertised two-year mortgage rate rose to
6.13% from 5.96% at the end of February. It was up from 5.4%
in May last year.
The report showed affordability for ''regular'' home buyers
worsened in 19 cities, including all of Auckland, Waikato,
Bay of Plenty and all of the South Island, except
It was toughest for first-home buyers on the North Shore of
Auckland, which kept the title of the least affordable city.
It took 109.1% of a single median after-tax income to afford
a first-quartile priced house on the North Shore in March, up
from 103.4% in February.
The median weekly take-home pay for a ''typical'' buyer was
$826.66 in March, up 2.4% from March last year.
Five years ago, the median take-home pay was $720.35.

Danny Woodhead had the first four-touchdown game of his career and Philip Rivers recovered a fumble on a play that began with him throwing an interception as the Chargers beat the Miami Dolphins, 30-14, on Sunday in what might have been the final NFL game in San Diego.
Woodhead caught touchdown passes of 20, 9 and 9 yards, and scored on a two-yard run for the Chargers (4-10), who failed to score a touchdown in each of their previous two home games.
Miami (5-9) lost for the fourth time in its last five games.
The Chargers Cannon went off. The disco ditty "San Diego Super Chargers" blared for what might be the final time.
It could all be over after...

KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) A man and woman thought to be a couple reported missing from Greenwood earlier this week have been found
dead in a Kansas City park.
The couple appeared to have been killed in a motorcycle accident, Kansas City police said.
Police Sgt. Jim Fuller said firefighters found the bodies Saturday in a thickly wooded area of Swope Park. He said it appeared the motorcycle they were on hit several trees and came to rest about 60 feet from where it left the roadway. The bodies were found nearby.
``Right now it just looks like the motorcycle was going too fast for the curve,'' Fuller said.
Fuller said the victims< identities had not been confirmed but that, if they were who police believed, the pair was last seen at a restaurant last week.
Christopher Arey, 41, and Kellie Kiefer, 45, went out on Arey's motorcycle that day but never returned, according to media reports.

Depression Health Center
Tests Used to Diagnose Depression
In this article
If the Diagnosis Is Depression
Depression is treatable. Consequently, a depression diagnosis can start you on the road to a healthier life without feelings of helplessness, hopelessness, and worthlessness.
Once your doctor makes a depression diagnosis, you need to follow the treatment program to get better. It's important to take the medications as prescribed. You also need to follow through on making lifestyle changes and working with a psychotherapist if that's what your doctor recommends. Millions of people with depression suffer needlessly because they don't get professional help that starts with a doctor's diagnosis.

Queenstown man Basil Walker began reading a prepared
statement critical of the council.
Halfway through the two-page document Queenstown Lakes Mayor
Vanessa van Uden officially adjourned the meeting and left
the room, along with chief executive Adam Feeley and deputy
mayor Lyal Cocks.
A short break was taken before the meeting resumed.
Speaking to the Otago Daily Times after the meeting,
Ms van Uden said if Mr Walker had assertions to make he could
have come to her personally rather than use the public forum.
''There is no right to do that and you can't let it continue
on. We're in public office but in the end, we are human
beings as well and it's a formal meeting and there are ways
and means.
''Regardless of facts or non-facts, that is not the place
where you make statements about individuals.''
Ms van Uden said the issue was ''over as far as I'm
concerned'' and was not worthy of further action.
When contacted by the ODT after the meeting Mr Walker
said he was disappointed the mayor did not ask to see the
rest of his statement.
Later, the ODT was provided with a copy of Mr Walker's
full statement and the Queenstown Lakes District Council was
given the opportunity to respond.
Council chief executive Adam Feeley said the comments were
''not only utterly legally and factually flawed, they were
Mr Feeley requested the ODT defer publication of ''the
comments made'' without the council's statement of response.
It was indicated the council needed to seek legal advice and
a response would probably be provided to the Otago Daily
Times within 24 hours.

Morning all,
I am getting a little confused with custom posts types and haven't seen too many articles available online.
I understand the principles of Custom Post Types - version 3.0 but am at a loss on how I create a custom post type that also allows me to specify a particular category.
I want to create a custom post type for books. I need to display title, post, thumbnail and add a default category of 'ebooks'.
What code would I put in my functions.php to achieve this?
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
Many thanks

WASHINGTON (July 1, 2014) The National Institutes of Health is expanding its "mystery disease" program, funding a network at six universities to help diagnose patients with the rarest of diseases.
The NIH has evaluated hundreds of the cold-case patients in its campus research hospital as part of a pilot program since 2008, but demand is so great, there's a waiting list.
On Tuesday, the agency announced the NIH Undiagnosed Diseases Network, a four-year, $43 million initiative to bring more doctor-detectives on board with the goal of at least putting a name on more patients' puzzling symptoms, and then eventually finding treatments.
The centers include the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Duke University, Stanford University, University of California, Los Angeles, Vanderbilt University and the Harvard University teaching hospitals Brigham and Women's, Massachusetts General and Boston Children's.

I'm running Atlassian Crucible/Fisheye and all of a sudden none of my users can browse changesets for any of the configured repositories. The only clue I have as to the cause of this is the following message from the debug log:
2010-10-26 14:00:24,378 DEBUG [btpool0-25] svn.SvnSCMModule SvnAuth-prompt - System prompted for user crucible, which does not match configured username ******
(I replaced the actual username with asterisks, but rest assured that there is one there; it's the username that the repository is configured with in Fisheye.) I Googled this message but was unable to find any relevant information.
The message is displayed whenever anyone tries to add content to a review using the "Browse Changesets," "Explore Repositories" or "Search for Files" options. Oddly, browsing using the source browser still works.
Has anyone encountered this before?

I've gone through the process of immersing my garlic in boiled water 3 times to remove that bitter taste. But how do I store it? I've blanched close to 5 heads of garlic (40-ish cloves). I would rather not pickle it. Any advice?
Once you blanch garlic it needs to be treated as cooked, so if you don't want to pickle it then your options are to refrigerate it or freeze it.

AbstractThe objective of the proposed SBIR Phase I program is to develop highly thermally and electrically conductive nanocomposites for space-based flip chips for performance over a wide service temperature range (-60 ?C to 400 ?C). Novel polyorganosiloxanes with controlled concentrations of pendent complexing moieties for metals, oxide-fillers, or nanotubes would be crosslinked to generate highly conductive elastomeric nanocomposite networks. NanoSonic has recently demonstrated electrical resistance of 0.1 Ohm through adhesively bonded polycarbonate substrates with a poly(organo-complexing)siloxane Ag composite. Low stress interfacial adhesives remain flexible under cryogenic conditions, effectively bond highly mismatched CTE substrates, offer superior corrosion resistance towards fuels, are impervious to UV and ozone degredation, and offer significantly greater adhesive strength over typical polysiloxanes. Polysiloxanes are an ideal candidate material for space systems yet have not been exploited to their full potential due to poor adhesion and the inability to evenly disperse polar conductive fillers (resulting in segregation and adverse insulating locales). The proposed poly(organo-complexing)siloxanes yield stable even dispersions with polar conductive fillers and would be developed during Phase II for microelectronics packaging on space platforms and with a major electronics company for microelectronics as an environmentally sound, low-cost replacements for current lead-based soldering systems.

There's certainly no questions to be asked of Boylan's fitness. The light welterweight ran a marathon less than 48 hours after his last fight, raising over £5000 for DEBRA, the national charity working on behalf of people in the UK with the genetic skin blistering condition Epidermolysis Bullosa. Find out more at www.debra.org.uk
Boylan (9st 13lbs 6oz) did pretty much what he wanted in the opener against Holec (9st 13lbs) showing a fast jab and some good evasive movement from the ropes. Speedy combinations bounced off Holec's gloves as Boylan continued to dominate by work rate in the second and third sessions, with little returning from the Czech.
Holec (one of four Czech Republicans on tonight's bill) got lively and more aggressive in the fourth. Good exchanges closed the round and led to a fairly even fifth in which Holec had started to match Boylan's work. So far, The Carshalton fighter had found no way to break through Holec's tight guard, and his punches didn't seem to be putting him off coming foward.
The pace remained brisk through the sixth and seventh sessions, with Boylan slightly busier, but at this stage the shots coming from both fighters didn't make it look as if the fight would end early. It was difficult to split them in the closer, but Boylan's more accurate and frequent shots were enough to take all but a couple of rounds.
Boylan's first belt is of the International Masters Bronze variety, and it's in dashing light blue - he's pictured modelling it above between trainers Alan Smith and Eddie Lamm.
Saturday Night Fever saw the return of Chatham heavyweight Tom Dallas (17-3), who last boxed in the semi final of Prizefighter last year, losing to eventual winner Tor Hamer.
Early on, Dallas certainly didn't suffer from a lack of confidence against Czech Tomas Mrazek (7-42-6), and took the first with a high workrate, planting jabs between Mrazek's guard and generally bullying the Czech around.
Dallas' (16st 11lbs) high tempo continued throughout the second until he went over at the end of the round from a slip, caused by a misfired left hook. He looked a little embarrassed as he got back up, and the third session saw a better effort from Mrazek (16st 10lbs). While Dallas was still industrious, his shots were absorbed by Mrazek's gloves and the Kent heavy had dodgy spells against the ropes, at times in retreat from positive work coming from the Czech.
Although Dallas's defensive moves looked a lot better than they did against Matt Skelton, shots from Mzarek had bloodied his nose. The pair shared an even fifth, and were given a breather when the Czech's glove tape came loose.
After more problems with Mrazek's glove tape (and some tutting from referee Jeff Hinds), Dallas edged a fairly even closer, but wasn't able to put together anything to stop the Czech from coming forwards. Jeff Hinds scored 59-55 for Dallas. If Dallas could maintain the dominance he showed in the first two rounds, he could still win something domestically.
After losing his first two professional fights, Ilford super middle Kevin Greenwood (3-2) was understandably keen to get his third consecutive win and show a positive record, which he managed fairly easily against Czech Vaclav Polak (1-2) over six two minute rounds.
Greenwood (12st) was quick on his feet, but a little inaccurate during a fast paced opening round. Polak (12st 3lbs) went down in the second, but up was quickly, only for Williams to administer a count.
Some good work followed from Greenwood up close as Polak advanced. His swings at range were a little wild, which left him susceptible to the occasional jab from Polak but these were negated by good inside work, including a close range uppercut, which was the pick of Greenwood's shots.
The better shots from Polak were avoided in the fourth, and the Czech looked a little tired, but Greenwood was gun shy at the start of the fifth before a good four-punch combo stunned Polak and pushed him back.
The Czech got off to a good start in the closer, but copped a low shot which caused him take and knee - referee Robert Williams gave him a good half a minute to recover. He came back with a little gusto, but Greenwood had knocked it out of him by the end of the round. Robert Williams scores 59-56 for Greenwood.
Bushey's Miles Shinkwin (3-0) took his first six rounder against Doncaster journeyman John Anthony (8-32-1). This pair looked fairly evenly matched in the opener, but not fortoo long. Shinkwin (12st 11lbs) was short with his jab, and Anthony (12st 11lbs 8oz) produced some good work on the inside, and to the body.
Shinkwin boxed from the back foot in the first half of the round and reacted to Anthony's advances. The roles reversed, clumsy swings coming in were easily avoided by Shinkwin, who moved well and looked relaxed. He asserted himself in the third. Anthony was busy at close range, but not enough to trouble the Bushey light heavy.
Shinkwin's jab grew in accuracy as the fight progressed and in the fourth he was winning inside exchanges, which slowed Anthony's work rate and made his increasingly wild swings were easily avoided.
Anthony started the fifth brightly until a body shot hurt him. Shinkwin followed in before Rob Williams split them and warned Shinkwin to keep his punches up. Anthony was tiring, and Shinkwin became more dominant as the round progressed.
Anthony put a good effort in the closer, outworking Shinkwin on the inside but missing with his forceful shots and being picked off from range. Robert Williams scores 60-54 for Shinkwin, who looks solid and fluent.
Debutant Remel Scott-Pavelin, trained by Peter Sims, looked fairly tidy as he got his pro career off to a start against Czech Tomas Kugler (14-31-1).
Scott-Pavelin (12st 13lbs 4oz) used his jab as a weapon and followed in with hooks to Kugler's (12st 8lbs 4oz) body, one of which made him wince and prone to hold. He did respond with a flurry towards the bell. A left hook found Kugler early in the second, and the debutant continued to launch methodical left-rights with the bare minimum coming back.
Persistent punching from Scott-Pavelin raised Kugler's guard for most of the third, until a scrappy response came just before the bell. The pattern continued in the closer until Kugler burst into life at the end of the round and had a go, forcing Scott-Pavelin to cover up, but too little too late. Scott-Pavelin wins 40-37 on Jeff Hinds card.
Dagenham cruiserweight Robin Dupre (2-0) had to wait until after the main fight to take on Paul 'Maniac' Morris (5-17-2) from Preston, who, apparently, had spent eight hours on the Motorway getting to the York hall.
Dupre (14st 5lbs), looking a little fleshy, was the much busier of the pair in the opener, pressing the action and catching Morris (14st 10lbs) with a right, which caused a stumble, but Morris was quickly back to balance. Dupre was forceful, and Morris didn't throw much in the second and soaked up some fulsome looking right hands.
It got scrappy in the closing two rounds with Dupre looking to finish, but the Maniac is a hard man indeed. Against debutant AJ Carter earlier in the year, who was two stone heavier, I witnessed Morris soak up powerful, repeated right-handers to the crust without going down.
Referee Robert Williams scored 40-37 for Dupre, which concluded Saturday Night Fever at the York Hall.
